ENGINEERS -r Facta and Theories |
Dr. Karl T. Compton, prosid?nt ofj
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, says the nation would be bet
ter off if control of industry and-of
government were in the hands of en
gineers rather than of bankers and
lawyers.
I agree with Dr. Compton that an
induabry run by engineers is more
likely to serve society than is one run
by-En<fTbr bankers. 1 have seen some
great enterprise fall because the em^
phasis WHS placed on profits rather
than on quality of the product, I have
seei) otherf’succeed greatly because
all of the intelligence and effort waa
devoted* to making things asTwell as
they could be made and selling Uwm
as cheaply as they could be sold.
^ In the long run, -it is facts, not the
ories, which control the progress and
destinies of nations. Engineers deal
in facts. That is seldom true of poli
ticians.

believed thart, one of the failings of
American schools is that they tend to
impose upon youthfuf minds the^ idea
that education has no relation to the
realities of life. . :
There is only one educational 'pur
pose which justifies taxing the whole
people for it. That purpose is to en
able those who^ get an education to
understand life, not a different kind

FLYING—Trans-AUantic Service
Just as everything seemed all set
for the early starting of a' trans-
Atlantic air mail and passenger plane
seivicc, a dispute has arisen between
British and American interests as to
whether New York or Montreal
should be the terminal at this end.
No matter how that is settled, how
ever, there will he a new air service
across the Atlantic this year.

.MASONRY — Here and Abroad
Two news items in the same paper
caught my eye. One was the an
nouncement of the celebration of the
0th,. anniversary of'the New York, lively interest in all phases of the ^
I'
Grand ^Lodge of Free and Accepted
Mason% with .a ceremony in a New.
York city church. The other was a
dispatch-from Bucharest saying that
:Armed soldiers had been posted in
front of every Masonic lodge quarters
in Roumania, as a means of enforc
ing the government’s decree for the
dissolution of Masonic organizations.
The reason a highly respected and
useful institutii^n is exalted in Amer

is, chiefly, that European Ma-
pile bent timber bridges.

25 man days—Fire pre-suppression.
28 man days—Fire preventions.
254 man days—^Fighting 21 fires
and answering 14 false alarms.
The above is an outline of what has
been accomplished by F-10 during
what might termed “work time.”
Many of the^ctivities of this camp
are carried on outside of work hours.
Much time has been on improving and
landscaping the grounds. Walkways
havb been bordered with hand-placed
|x>ck and the surface of all walks has
been top-soiled. Many flowers and
shrubs have been planted and a faith-
effort has been made to have a
pretty, lawn. The effort along this
line is now showing up pleasingly.
The company has alwiysi taken a
ucational prbgram. Under the guid
ance of the camp educational adviser
the program has been ^^ucCWsfully
carrj^ on along academic and voca
tional lines. The academic classes of
fer courses v4ry similar to those of
grammar schools. The assistance ren
dered the educational work at F-10 by
statistic.^ ‘commissionr who a.sscrted
the labor department “has never
made any estimate whatever of un
employment.”
“If Senator Vandenberg’s.. calcu
lations were correct,” he said, “4,000,-
00 more people woulld be at work in
the United States than there were
employW at the'peak of the 1929
boom.”
The" question of unemployment
figures also had'"the attention to
day of some house members. 'PKb'
house census committee was asked
to meet Tuesday to consider legis
lation for the first nation-wide cen
sus of unemployed.
Chairman Mahon (Democrat, Tex
as') of a subcommittee considering
the bill, said he believed it would not
be approved.
