As if by pre-arranged plan, they all offered as their Hrst suggestion- teach them to think. They deplored the fact that very few high school products know how to think and use the facts they have stored in their heads. Greater insistence on correct use of English was urged by them. Advanced courses in mathematics and a well-grounded knowledge of chemistry and physics were claimed by many as indispensable to the man who hopes to go very high. Quite generally they laid stress on the fundamental sub- jects, as English, mathematics, the sciences, languages and history-the old-line academic subjects. They recognized, however, the value of a limited amount of specialized training, like that in commercial work. There can be but one result for us students from the investigations enum- erated above. If we are to realize the opportunities open to us and take our rightful places in the industrial world, we must actively assimilate those lessons so constantly insisted upon during school days. How often have we not heard that superficial knowledge is without value and that there is no substitute for a sturdy sub-structure of fundamentals, MARY WAGNER, '28 HOWARD SEITZ.

In connection with this point, there developed a noteworthy fact. Com- petition has become so keen that factories are forced to specialize most of their employees. While a man is learning a new job, he is a loss to the industry. As a result, those in charge will not send him through all the types of work and suffer the consequent losses, unless they see that later on he will be of special value to the company. It is a hard fact, but a true one, and offers the explana- tion why so few men in our industries are skilled in all the various jobs: why so few can qualify for the higher positions. It likewise means that to go to the top, a young man must stand out as one willing to work and to learn. Every manager is looking for this type. One of them put it thus, We are anxious to get men who are willing to earn big salaries. Referring to the character traits expected in employees, nearly all the managers mentioned willingness to work as the first. They want men who are willing to keep their eyes on the job and not on the clock. The next trait men- tioned was absolute honesty. Cleanness of private life is greatly desired by them. All insisted on painstaking exactness and steady application. Unswerv- ing loyalty to industry and fellow workmen was stated as indispensable. It was interesting to learn the insistence placed on absolute obedience. ' 'if 'iq wil ,t.-i,,ii Q L ll, il 'T iff e ' C, ' 's'c ' it W- jiii.tc..., LC-. CUC.
