Local Boy, Cooper Union Librarian, Helps Publish
 BibIiography

Cooper Union has irlaugurated an educational policy which aims to foster among engineers the social responsibility" urged by President Roosevelt in letter addressed to the heads of more than one hun dred schools and colleges through out the country in October, 1886.
 The initial step is the cotnpila- ton, just completed, of the first bibliograplly ot1 'sTs1e Non -Techiii- cal Aspects of Engineering Educa- tldne Available in any language. T7ie new policy identifies Cooper onion with "Sciehtific Hutpanistrl'', :, a trend which pr. Edwin Sharp Burden, director of the Union, de- clared in bis recent inafgtral ad- dress should De "the driving force of the schools of the future" It is described, also, by the Cooper union authorities as a constructive response to President Ropseve1t's rsconinendations. The President asked the nations educators that engineering courses be so balanced "as to give coming generations of etgineefs the vision and flexible technical eqiipmeht necessary to meet the full range of engineering responsibility"
 pr. Bufdell, in Foreword to the autobiography, prepared under the direction of John H. Moriarty, Cooper Union Librarian, points out that increasing pressure is being put upon engineering schools to en- large their vocational training pro- gram to afford a broader educa- tional background.
 Among the authors included ill the bibliography are l.. E. Akeley, E. D. Ayres, w. Beard, H. Carman, J. B. Conant, K. T. Compton, c. L. Dawes, Gano Dunn, R. E. Flanders, A. M. Greene, Jr., J. H. Hammond, c. F. Ketteriilg, D. 8. Kimball, A. E. Morgan, W. B. Pitkin, R. I. Rees, J. w. Roe, F. D. Roosevelt, R. L, Sackett, Herman Schneider, W. E. Wickenden, and B., M. Woods.
 MT. Moriarty is native of Wa terbury, Conn, where he attended Crosby high school. He was grad uated with honors from Columbia College in 1926 and from the Col umbia university school of Library service in 1898.

The Railroad ManipuIatiorls Good Example Of How Not to Handle a Problem
BY JOHN T. FLYNN ; NIA Service staff Correspondent

T'-~@A1 h1SA vAVS. He4AA NVAtC4WUuUGub New York, Nov. 25s-Tlere prob- ably never has been country which had more problems than this one. That Is understandable. But what is not understandable is that there should be so many problems, pressing problems, about which the country has no policy.
 Take the railroads. A modern American railroad might itself be defined as collection of proh- lerlls. But the government hasn't q setnblsnce of a policy respecting them.
 Here ls one consequence of that. The Delaware, LackaWamha & Hudson Ratlfoad, like many an- othSr. cannot make enough money to pay itS taxes to the state of New Jersey or the city of Buf- faIp. So t asks the RecOnstruc- tiOh FinAIice Corporation to lend it the money.
 This sort of thing has gone on since the R. F. c. was formed by Hoover. Railroads have borrowed millions to pay taxes to states and cities. They have borrowed mill lions to pay rents on real estate. They have borrowed money to pay the rentals on roads they were operating. And the R. F. 0. has accommodated them apparently whenever they have needed this help.
 They have borrowed millions to pay interest on bonds and notes, ofttimes to bankers. FROM VANS
 TO MORGANS
 I recall protesting against this when the F. F. c. was first or gantzed. The Van Sweringens bor- rowed $10,O000u0 to pay a loan to the Morgans.
 I was informed that the reason for that was a profound economic one. It seems that then--in 1882 we were in . depression because the banks would not lend money. This was the explanation given me by the wizards in Washington.
 While 1t seemed rather terrible to have the government supply money to the Vans to pay off loans to the Morgans. the profound idea behind it was that this would put money in the bankers purse; in- deed all the R. F. c. loans were achieving that end, and then pres entlY the bankers would have so mndh money it would be, burning a hole in their pockets. And they. would start lending it.
 NO SERIOUS
 THOUGHT
 Hue folly of that must be appar- ent by now. The banks have had billions poured into their pockets, but they haven't started lending yet-the pockets remain unburned.
 When the R. F. c. paid taxes and rentals for other roads, was told this was helping cities and states in trouble. The folly of that must also be apparent now.
 The whole truth Is that the goyernment not only has no poi- icy about the roads, but it re- fuses to even think seriously about 1t. Since 1881 the desperate ch9racter of this problem has been apparent.
 But as far as the government has gotten is to dole out a few dollars every time one of these ragged vagebchds comes around looking for 2 handout, thus pre- longing the agony, while the roads sink to new levels of distress.
 Had there been a courageous facing of the problem in 1883 when that was possible the roads. would be on their way to health now.

favor for service on the half shell
and both varities are excellent for
cream clam stew. Use small oysters
for service for frying; medium
sized ones for escalloped dishes and
filling patties.
Oysters require very little cook
ing. They should be put over the

gills are curled. To cook them longer
