Technical Education a Patriotic
Du ty
Never before in the history of
the United States has there been
such need for technical in* n. I he
places of duiiKer in modern wars
are not always the placps of v:re;it-
est service. An adequate f...»l sup
ply Is absolutely essential I.mi
ncers are needed at home to carry
on the work of transportation ai>«l
utilization, as well as to haiiiHe
the enginuering problems of tIn-
army.
At a conference of College I’res-
idents in Washington. P. C. on
May 5th, the following resolutions
were adopted as a statement of
principles. These resolutions are
in accord with expressions of the
Secretary of War made to the con
ference:
1 We believe that all young men
below the age of liability to the
selective draft, and those not mc-
nmmended f..r special service, who
can avail themselves of the oppor
tunities offered by our Colleges,
should be urged ><» t.> do in order
that they m iv be aide to render
the most effective service; both
during the full period of the war
and in the trying times who h will
fvllnW its close.

suprem. importance of applied

In view t»f the attitude of th< government, it Is the patriotic duty of
every young (nan under the ag. of twenty-one to enter a technical col
lege If he can possibly do so, and if already In college, whatever his age.
to continue and complete his ttaining. The colleges must serve the
nation In whatever way the government deems best At present their
greatest work is to turn out non skilled in agriculture, engineering and
allied lines.
