THE THEATERS AT THE ARCADE THE WOLVERINE educations of College lien Should ie 1road And Human Rather Than Too Highly Specialized And Narrow, Is 'Belief Of Dean Mortimer E. Cooley I "The Way of the Strong" will be shown at the Arcade today only. This features Anna Q. Nilssen, and is a splendid attraction from every point of view. Because the star is not well known, the management at first re- fused to book the picture, but later saw it in Detroit and at once booked the production, and recommends it most highly. The first scenes are laid in Alaska, but are later changed to the East, where a new angle of the "eter- nal triangle" is worked out in a most entertaining and interesting manner. Nazimova in "The Red Lantern" has been rebooked and will be shown at' the Arcade tomorrow. This is for the benefit of those who were unable to see it when fit was first presented at the Arcade. (Editor's Note: The Wolverine prints today the concluding article on edu- cational problems by Dean Mortimer E. Cooley. Dr. Cooley says that the way to avoid the weakness which ruined the German war machine is toE make the educations of college men broad and human, rather than so high- ly specialized that they know one sub- ject perfectly and little else.) Our entire material world, so far as social structure is concerned, can be very justly credited to the engineer. Our great buildings, our transit lines, our industrial plants, our national and international communications by wire, wireless, mail, steamship, and the dis- tribution of our wares, all oweitheir origin and comparative perfection to the engineer. And yet there is one phase of the engineering profession which is little understood-even by men of the call- ing-which is of even broader value to the nation than that of material ad- vancement. This is the relation of the engineer, in the different branches of his science, to the worker-the hewer of wood, the forger of iron, the carter of stone-who typifies the constructive half of our civilization known as "Labor" and his equal and important intimacy with the other, the provision- ing and directing half, usually termed "Capital." If we are to solve the tense problems which have arisen through the last few years of bloodshed, misery and spreading dissatisfaction with certain of our living conditions, no saner, surer mediator can be found between the classes than the man who proves to both "upper" and "lower" strata his sincerity, working ability and right to adequate reward-the engineer. Whatever in the luxuriously furn- ishied offices of the capitalist, or in the mine, the railroad cut, the grimy factory or surrounded by the whirring7 wheels of America's multiplex indus- trial machines, the engineer represents4 the trained intellect, the sinewy hand combining the labor of brawn and, brain, and the executive genius who brings the blue-print to material frui- tion. The ditch digger, the factory hand,t the laborer on the lowest rung of thet industrial ladder recognizes the crea- tive work of the engineer. He sees3 concrete evidence of mental and spirit-x ual power as great enterprises takeE shape, as Nature is conquered in the most obstinate forms, by sheer mental- ity and grim determination. As to state and national problems we need more engineering skill in the direction of executive matters. Law- yers seem to predominate in nearly all ,lines of general public life; yet, there are questions of international import- ance in every branch of Government work which need administration by scientifically trained minds. The lack of engineering experts is due as much to the unwillingness of the engineer to enter political life as to the public, in not urging him to do so. Engineers do not like politics; yet, politics-in government-are necessary to every phase of modern society and industry. How many en- gineers are there in Congress, in Cab- inet positions-even in public service commissions? In labor boards and boards of trade? , j Lake Erie's st Resorts are bed via Ashley& in Steamer Line g ursions Every Day ay-Cedar Point reached every day gniflcent steel steamer Put-in-Bay, ,200 people.

To even the simplest of the labor forces the engineer, many times work- ing with theim unshaven, unshorn, wearing muddy overalls, speaking in the patios of the workers while wield- ing his magic pen and pencil with the wizardy of the laboratory and the class room, represents a higher force than the wage earner, power which justly deserves infinitely greater re- ward. The engineer is to the working man who materializes his blue-prints and obeys his personal directions the sym- bol of science; of intellect, of educa- tion and of that "teamwork" which is the keynote of modern achievement, In his tasks and his ability he is one of the most powerful rebuttals of Bol- shevism and industrial unrest. To the employer and the capitalist whose profits depend upon his accur- acy and energy, the engineer is the governing factor of business success in production. His creative vision, growing from his scientific training, and brought to fruition by the virility of his practical executive ability, is the foundation of modern achievement in a thousand ways. In short, the engineer should enter public life, giving his talents and tech- nical skill for the good of his neigh- bors. Local engineering societies in the various towns and cities should co- operate with their neighbors and with municipal authorities not only in tech- nical problems, but in social and in- dustrial, as well, because of their un- usual knowledge of and acquaintance with people of all classes. Their abil- ity as mediators of labor problems, their scientific knowledge of the de-, tails of public matters should be given without charge for the general good. I It CORONA L. C.

TYPEWRITING and MIMEOGRAPHING A Specialty A great practical asset of American life is being wasted by the loss of en- gineering brains and training in the evryday problems of life. This means sacrifice on the part of the big-spirit- ed engineer who devotes more or less of his time and energy to financially unprofitable public work. But this is a big period of world history and all of us must make sacrifices, as, in- deed, most of us have, that we may perfect our civilization and perpetu- ate our national ideals against the ominous attacks of ignorant social discontent. Our engineers, in order to fill the great positions in national and muni- cipal life, however, must be educated along broader and deeper lines than are current in the university courses of today. At the present time our technical institutions are specializing too much. Vision, background, know- ledge of life and the "humanities" suffer at the expense of an almost selfish concentration on laboratory methods. We must break down the walls which we are building around the new generation of young men in our colleges-walls so high that they can- not see over. We must so teach that the boys who are going to become en- gineers will not remain "privates" or "non-coms," but can be field officers and line officers of the highest ranks, qualified to command and campaign from the hilltops, looking far ahead and with historic perspective. We should develop in America a new kind of engineer by lengthening study courses, by broadening interests and by instruction in the wider range subjects which deal with all sides of modern life. Our international lead- ership in industry, commerce and po- litical idealism demand superior train- ing for, the young men awho are to continue the administration of our affairs. As an example of present day limi- tations; for instance, I may cite a case which was the cause of actual humil- iation to me: Some time ago the Gov- ernment authorized me to appoint' a commission of engineers and profes- sors of related subjects to confer with the leaders of the profession in France relative to the solution of reconstruc- tion problems. After many appeals to a great many universities and many of the leading engineers of the coun- try- I succeded in my search to find professional experts and teachers who could speak French--just two! With the extension bf international activities ahead of us as the results of war changes we must train our young scientific men in modern lan- guages, in history, in economics and above all in the essentials of general culture, that they may hold their in- tellectual "own" in competition with the scientists of other lands.
