ENGINEERS SHOULD
IMPROVE ENGLISH
So Says Michigan Professor
Dean Sackett Would Have
More Argumentation
The Inablilts of the average Ameri
can student in engineering to express
his ideas in cleat and correct English
homed ono of the main topics of din
ellatlioll at a Iment Joint session hold in
the clts of Neu York by the Society
for the Pt emotion of Engineering Ed
ucation. the National Highways Asso
ciation, the National Automobile Cheta
h. of Com:mese and Section "D" of
the American Association for the Ad
ancement of Science.
II H Highle, professor of electrical
engineering at the University of Mehl
gun. In commenting upon the short
comings of engineering students with
:000:11 to their mastery of English,
spoke as follolla
'The meat majority of engineering
vraduates". he said, "are disgracefully
veldt in Bu: efforts to think what to
say and in thek ability to say what they
think The engineer's chief business is
the making m discussion of specifica
tions, proposals. and contracts in terms
Mai manne: 01 hick should be clear and
unquixocal, simple and interesting
"M) Imestlgation shows that the
time dmoted to the study of English in
en: ::eel Mg at hoots should be more than
Look, as much as to foreign langua
ges and orally half as much as to
mathematics of to general engineering
mathematies, and that It might well no
eum no much as 64 percent of the en
tire time spent at college."
When Inlet clewed by a representa
the of the Collegian and informed of
Professor illable's Ideas with regard to
additional hod: action in English for
engineering students, Dean Sackett.
head of the engineering school at Penn
State, had the following to say on the
subject
"Beyond all question every student In
engineming needs thorough drill in
uritlng and a type of public speaking
which 14 adapted to his technical needs
The latter subject in particular should
1 seeps special attention and tho stu
dent 1,11,, intends to make engineering
his profession should be given careful
tialning in in esentlng arguments in
sapper t of engineering propositions
Since such arguments would relate to
t In thick he Is Interested, It
ton veil be expected that the student
would show a fair degree of enthusiasm
In this stu4.
"Ail agree that the engineering stu
dent of stands In urgent need of
ITE - c - ultuml education that comes from
reading good literature. In addition,
houever, he should have that basic
training in the writing and speaking of
English whisk has been the subject of
so much discussion among technical

Dr. Boucke Gives
Interesting Talk
Dr. 0 F. Boucke last night satisfied a
large audience in the Auditorium of the
Liberal Arta Building with hie lecture
on "The New Democracy " The old
democracy ebbed at emancipation from
tyranny and self-rule in a political
sense by the people. he said The new
democracy is a tomtit of economies
and scientific changes during the past
one hundred and fifty years, that ix,
since the period of the revolution It
aims chiefly at the self-development on
behalf of society, including the mastery
of mind over matter and also the pro
tection of all, against group-interest,
through government control.
After pointing out the numerous og
led:4r evils An the pre•^^• aYst=l, Dr.
Boucke pointed out that they must be
come, first, by efficiency, which Includes
conservation of energy, fitness, train
ing, and most suitable employment
Second, .Personality, which must be
built up out of reactions to stimuli
about on. It terminates in culture and
culture determines personality Third,
sympathy The test of virtue Is not
suffering, but eervico, independent of
reaards Finally sympathy would lead
to internationalism and permanent
peace and tide Is the national fruit of a
true democracy.
Dr Douche, In the course of his lee
turo. brought out very clearly the truth
that The elevation of the masses Is
morn Important than tho promotion
of Intellectual aristocracy . ' Furthor,
ho said that the old democracy meant
only political rights. NOlto the now de
mocracy mearir the socialization of the
economic surplus in behalf of all

"GYPSY" SMITH GIVES
RARE TREAT IN CHAPEL
A treat was granted to the student

Ho is possessed of a remarkably
pleasing and "taking" personality. and
In Sunday chapel held the interest of
his audience throughout with clover
speech and humanistic anecdotes Ho
told of the ups and downs—mostly
downs—of the life of the homeless and
generally despised gypsy people And
among other things. he made the state
ment that tattle the history of his
peach, has been traced back more than
4,000 yearn B. C, there is no authentic
proof as to the positive origin and de
scent of the gypsy "nation." Ho gave
a number of reaflOriff in disclosing the
startling fact that the best proof Indi
cates that they are of Jewish origin
