Utilities offered in the Night Classes. The Day School has a large field from which to draw, and in the present enrollment is represented a considerable range of territory. In the present student body are residents of 24 states and 13 foreign countries. The School now offers courses in Mechanical, Civil. Electrical. Chemical, Metallurgical, and Mining Engineering, in all of which students are enrolled in both the Day and Night Classes. In these courses it is aimed to give thorough training in the technical branches necessary for successful work in the various fields and in addition the effort is made to develop creative ability and the quality of resourcefulness which should make the training productive. Another distinctive feature of the work of the School is the care which is taken to direct the work of the student along the lines for which he shows the greatest natural aptitude, for it is only by giving the right boy training in the proper direction that the ideal of the School can be fulfilled. Another feature that has attracted some attention is the inclusion of lectures upon subjects of general educational value. The demands of an engineering course prevent any considerable time being given to subjects not closely related to the course of study, but the necessity of some knowledge of topics fundamental to any educational training is equally imperative. To meet these conditions courses of lectures delivered to the classes as a whole have been devised. The coming year will sec the establishment of a new course, that in Commercial Engineering, which purposes to train young men for the business rather than the purely technical side of engineering. The need for such a course has long been felt in industrial circles, and in being among the first to organize such a course the Carnegie Technical Schools have but responded to the demands of the industrial life of their environment. 16
