forcibly to the front the necessity for 

 a greater and more intelhgent care for 

 the men who bear the burden and heat 

 of the day. It is claimed that statistics 

 show that we are only securing about 

 70 per cent results in our mills and fac- 

 tories, due almost entirely to a lack of 

 l^hysical efficiency. Here is a demand 

 for a knowledge of the underlying prin- 

 ciples producing efficiency. If better 

 food, better housing, and adequate bath- 

 ing facilities are the prerecjuisites — and 

 they are — why should not a portion of 

 the time spent in executive effort to in- 

 crease the efficiency of the machinerv 



l)e spent to increase the efficiency of 

 the men ? 



Now, how shall we make it possible 

 to provide this necessarily composite 

 knowledge for the logging engineer? 

 Taking the agricultural college as a 

 basis, we find that the course of study 

 was literally made by the farmers ; the 

 result has l)een })ractical education. 

 The graduates make l)etter farmers 

 than their fathers. 



Adopting the same line of reasoning, 

 tlic lumbermen should draft the ccuu^ses 

 of study in our colleges and universities 

 where logging engineering is taught.
