AM glad to have this opportunity, in response to the Editor’s invitation, to send this message to the students of the Provincial Institute of Technology. 71 » As technicians you learn a basic law which is of such far-reaching importance in the world of today, that I ask you to give a great deal of thought to it. I will express that law in these words: “That is right which works best.” In other words, unless a machine, or a system of organ¬ ization, for example, operates smoothly and performs the function for which it was designed, it is not right. This law by which we can judge what we term “rightness” applies with equal force to human relationships and social systems. If we look at the state of the world at the present time, we are forced to recognize that its social systems are working anything but well, and must therefore be wrong. On every hand there is a growing realization of this. Vast changes are , looming. Your technical training will equip you to face these facts and to apply the same fundamental principles you would employ in dealing with an engineering problem to the great social problems upon the solution of which the fate of our civilization depends. That is the thought I want to leave with you. Many of you will be graduating during the com¬ ing year. Whatever positions you fill, you will be entering the service of Canada during one of the most critical periods in history. The world of tomorrow will be what you make it and if you believe that, there is nothing you cannot accomplish. And that is equally true of you who will follow them later — for in the new world order which will emerge from the chaos and confusion of today, men and women of experience and knowledge will be wanted. It is for that you are preparing yourselves. WILLIAM ABERHART Page four
