satur day the debate which was to be held friday with lincoln college was postponed brown and white budget rejected points out that education should include eco nomics aesthetics talks to engineers club president c c williams stressed the need for training engineers in economics and aesthetics at a lunch eon of the engineers club of phil delphia today he spoke on the topic new demands in engineer ing education engineering may be an exact science but engineering education is not stated president williams after many years of observation i can tell with considerable accuracy how long an alumnus has been out of college by hearing him discuss engineering education for five min utes any time during the first year he will voice the lack of training in how to write effective letters of ap plication for a position if two or three years out of college he will bewail the lack of training for mak ing estimates and in the details of some particular kind of work in five years out he will begin to feel a deficiency in his grasp of theory in ten years he will be es pecially conscious of his need of fa cility in english composition and in public speaking in twenty years he will be convinced that more of bus iness and economics should be in troduced into the course and in forty years he will feel that his course was wanting in those contacts with the great men the great ideas and the great emotions of the world's history commonly called culture which would enable him to enjoy life and to mingle com panionly with educated men in all callings . lists 2 demands dr williams went on to say that the new demands in engineering education may be grouped under two headings economic and aesth etic the engineer cannot shirk re sponsibility for the economic sound ness of the works in their domain the second demand considers the aesthetic aspects of the work the chief of which are cleanliness quiet and beauty president williams stated that the time has come when the american people will not want to endure the din of the elevated railroad he suggested that this matter of quieting the elevated is a simple matter of engineering re quiring a ballasted and insulated roadbed the demand for beauty is making itself shown in the beautiful tear drop designs of automotive engin eering dr williams concluded with a suggestion that the engineering student should be subject to instruc tion only in the fundamentals of the new developments the rest of the training should be left to the stu dent himself would curb disease unify all currency if made ruler writes in detroit news as dictator i should make war on those conditions in life which cause cruelty and misery and more especially on those monster social evils which have caused suffering in all ages the chief of these are war poverty disease crime mis government and sexual vice and frustration writes dr neil caroth ers director of the college of bus iness administration in an article in the feb 9 edition of the detroit news plans no revolution dr carothers is planning no rev olution to seize the government but as one of the nation's leading think ers he was asked by a newspaper syndicate if you were made dic tator of the world with absolute powers what would you do acting on this assumption dr carothers declares my philosophy would be that in the present prim itive state of man's knowledge the only practicable objective of life is a social order in which every indi vidual has an opportunity to develop to the maximum his own interests capacities and usefulness subject only to the proviso that it should not be at the expense of the wel fare and freedom of others i should also install a new world currency unit he adds in time the dollar if it is not ruined by de basement will be the world's unit in deference to the currency pre judices of nations i would select a new unit expressible in both centi grams and grains and different from all existing units this com mon standard would be a gold coin proposes pension system there would be a frugal pension system inaugurated for the unem ployables such as the infirm and the aged and all forms of public char ity public and private pension sys tems and compulsory insurance would be abolished slowly in in dustrial countries 50 per cent of the future increase in the retail value of all land would be taken by the gov ernment private enterprise would be forbidden to issue bonds and mortgages thus eliminating one of the great causes of depressions dictator carothers would im mediately remove all other dicta tors but would also encourage everywhere the establishment of the american system of representative government with its three branches legislative executive and judicial the legislatures however would be unicameral instead of bicameral freedom of speech would make the carothers dictatorship an unusual one divorce would be granted with out trial where both parties made application after one year of mar riage divorced persons would not continued on page four brunn to discuss law school work speaks at banquet isochromatic work sculp tures will be exhib ited until feb 23 an exhibition of isochromatic

paintings resulted from a commercial venture to test the durability of a new type of oil colors developed by m grumbacher of new york city the showing is unique in that all the paintings are uniform in size and framing on the same type of can vas perhaps the most striking fea ture of an isochromatic painting is the complete lack of shading usual ly obtained by differentiation of tone in steel workers by charles zeller we have an isochromatic painting done in brilliant colors with large surfaces of single shades many of the others are not as rep resentative including the work of a local artist city limit by e batchelder of easton other artists submitting their work to this experiment are kather ine s dreier r helbert clifford young a berkman j gross r van zandt and b h porter the
