Excerpt from Engineering as a Vocation
The subject matter of this work has been rearranged (with additions) from a number of addresses given before technical schools and asso ciations of engineer assistants. It is published for the information of parents in order that they may act wisely in selecting a career for their sons. Semi-technical periodicals and daily newspapers are bureaus of information consulted frequently by ill-informed parents; and, perhaps, more than half the students now in technical schools are there because of opinions obtained as valuable advice from such sources.
