Transportation in Industry Railroads represent one of the biggest and most flourishing industries today. This is one industry which touches all of our lives. It is adapted to all sections of America and serves as a connecting link between the different parts of the nation. It has modernized to fit changing needs, so that it is now possible to travel in a streamlined, air-conditioned Pullman from New York to San Francisco in five days. The railroads in common with other industries offer many jobs for the students of today. Who knows hut that some member of the class of 1937 may some day he a great railroad magnate or may make some contribution toward the progress of transportation?

Nineteen Bound by the Same Cables Most of us are accustomed to the fact that education has revolutionized industry. We are not so well aware that in the revolution education has tied the nations of all the world together with cables of international trade. Whitney, with a technical education, invented the cotton gin, thus opening to trade vast weights of short staple cotton grown in the United States. That cotton found a market in Lancashire, 4,000 miles distant across the Atlantic, because education had developed the steamship. Nowr sec what happened further: Manchester could weave more cotton cloth than England could use. Britain, combining her domination over India and her control of the shipping trade, forced India—far better at weaving than England ever wras—to buy English cottons. Thus the technical education of Whitney, Watt, Fitch, and Fulton reached over the waters and hound together Charleston, S. C.. Liverpool, Manchester. Bombay ami Calcutta. Here is illustrated one of the lessons which the Board of Education of Paris and the Hotarv (did) of Paris have desired to teach this year with the Institute of International Understanding. Their purpose is to acquaint men and women of all ages—hut those of high school age in particular—with the interdependence of nations since education made the world into a neighborhood. )Xe humans shall need all the intelligence we can summon to solve the problems of a world riven hv rival interests and distracted by divergent outlooks. Those who are now' fully mature can hardly provide that intelligence. The world must await it among those still young enough to learn without resistance. Allen I). Albert, Past President, Hotarv International.
