Engineers and Figures Boss
The World
By Garrett P. Serviss

w HEN has the engineer
wv ever been as great as he
is today? When has he
ever before played so universally
important part in the life Of the
world?
/ use the word~"engineer" in its
broadest and most inclusive sig
nif1cation. There are civil en-
gineers. military engineers, ma
rine engineers, mechanical engi-
neers, electrical engineers. ETC.,
but they all have one quality in
common which gives them their
special power and value, viz: the
employment in their work, what
ever the work may be, OF the
mathematical method.
All sound reasoning harks back
to mathematics. When mathemat-
ics has pronounced that a thing Is
Titus or so you can count on IL. and
It is on that kind OF certainty that
the engineer bases all that he
does. II he fails, the source OF his
failure can always be found In
some accidental departure from
mathematical truth or violation OF
mathematical law.
A great engineer Is the finest
type OF man. Whenever a crisis
arises It is to him that everybody
looks for hedp. His mind Is OF the
inventors standard. Nature re-
yeals secrets to him and yields to
his persuasion, because he takes
hold OF her with a firm. sure hand.
Jules Verne, the best story tell
ar. or the teller of the best stories,
of modern times, had the right IN
stinct when he made all his heroes
engineers. He sent his ideal en-
Rineers exploring the depths OF
the sea, sailing through the air,
subduine wild lands and savage
beasts, boring mountains, travers-
ing continents with locomotive
houses and making voyage to
the moon In a habitable projectile
and look how all but one of
these achievements have been real
lied by the living engineers Of to-
dayl Perhaps the moon trip will
come In its turn-who can tell
Founded on Science.
Every material achievement OF
civilization now Is the work of the
engineer. Architecture has become
an engineering profession. Fifty
story buildings are mathematical
problems solved in steel, The
marine engineer builds our ships
and submarines on mathematical
lines. The unfinished Quebec
bridge fell because there had been
somewhere a mistake In a datum;
bad mathematics, or mathematics
disregarded or mishandled-but
II was mathematics that finally
made the great span stand,

the brilliant progress of our times

said:
