Holds An Important 

 Position 



I was earning probably $20 a month on an 

 average when I took up a Course in Civil 

 Engineering with the International Corre- 

 spondence Schools. At that time I had received 

 little more than a high school education. My 

 classmates were going to college and I was 

 greatly distressed because I was not able to 

 follow their example; but. I gave my spare time 

 to the study of your Course, being employed 

 on a corps by the city engineer of Uniontown, 

 Pa. Within a year I was made chief drafts- 

 man in his office. Later, at the age of 19, I 

 took a position as engineer in charge of three 

 coke plants for the H. C. Frick Company. 

 After holding various positions, in 1906 I 

 accepted a place with the Pennsylvania State 

 Highway Department. I am still employed 

 by the State, holding the position of assistant 

 engineer at a salary of $200 a month and 

 expenses. I have 50 men employed in my 

 engineering department at present.
