Department
This meeting will bring together
the representatives from the high
way construction and maintenance
organizations of every state in the
Union and at it's sessions the prob
lens involved in highway and bridge
construction and maintenance will
be presented in papers by individual
members and discussed by those
having special knowledge of the gen.
eral subject dealt with. 1t is rea,-
sonable to assume that this general
exchange of ideas in the sessions of
the annual meeting will be of espe-
cial value to those in attendance
since it affords an opportunity to
compare the practices of one state
or section with those of another. The
general knowledge thus secured can
not but be beneficial to the states
represented.
Quite apart from the benefits
above referred to there are those of
an individual nature. which are the
direct product of rubbing elbows
and swapping notions" among men
whose occupations are identical and
who in consequence are wont to
talk shop" whenever they come in
contact with each other. 1t is a
well known fact that many engi-
neers and construction smen, giving
to their work earnest effort and
thought when ION the job" will to-
tally refrain from public discussion,
but will freely impart in personal
conversations their own knowledge
and experiences and in turn will
prove good listeners when it comes
to absorbing the items of knowT-
edge developed by the other fellow.
It is quite probable that this per-
sonal contact phase of the meeting
is of equal importance to the daily
sessions.
