Manufacturers are beginning to realize that something else besides manual dexterity is needed in the leaders of their establishments. Ability to read human nature, tact; realizing what is due from one human being to another, and deter- mination are some of the qualities demanded of those filling executive positions. A broad, or liberal, education aids one greatly in learning these. As to some of the advantages of the profession. It is independent. The salaries range from $i,ooo to $10,000. An engineer ' s attainments are so varied, that if the avenues in one line of business are filled, there are others to which he may turn. He is not hampered like a clerk or book-keeper. Drafting, machine work, teaching, mechanical expert, salesman, and even marine engineering are some of the lines along which employment may be secured. Engineering plants are thickly studded from Maine to California and from the Great lyakes to the Gulf, so the field of operation is large and the opportunities great. Young Reader, if you have the fondness for this sort of thing, and will be satisfied with a moderate income, by all means learn engineering. I know of no other business, or profession, which will afford 3 ou so much satisfaction and profit for the amount invested. Harry Gwinner. 17
