THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, OPENTO ENGINEERS u. S. Educatlon Specialist! ! Forgets Presidency in Possible Fields. BY REX COLLIER. Uncle Sam has found that a wide field of opportunity lies before the graduate in engineering, but in de- tailing specific service to which the student may aspire no mention is made of the fact that an engineer also may become President. In a study of the field of civil engi- | neering, conducted for the information of college students enrolled in engineer- ing courses, Walter J. Grenleaf, as- ociate specialist in higher education of he Department of Interior, describes alf a dozen distinct types of work into | which engineering fits—from laying |sewers to building bridges. Average Salary Is $4,116. ‘The study showed that the average annual salary of a civil engineer is $4,- 116, based on incomes of 1,643 engi- neers chosen at random. It is apparent that Herber Hoover was not one of the engineers included in the survey, but then his income as an engineer in the height of his technical career was far bevond the average. | on graduating from Stan- | ford University, Emban{cd nr\ the career | leans until, at the out- as classed as a millionaire. Incidentally, it is known that his war service and phi- lanthropies greatly reduced his fortune. His friends say that while he was “well off” when he entered the White House, he was not a millionaire. Civil Engineering Oldest. ‘The Government's education special- ist found that of the 1,643 engineers canvassed, 28 who were just a year out of collegc received salaries averaging $1,973; 459 men 2 years out of college averaged $2,360; 362 men 5 years out of college received an average of $3,175; 207 men out 10 years, $4,151; 246 men out 15 years, $5,526; 148 out 20 years, $6.226: 95 men out 25 years, $6,797, and 98 men out 30 years, $7,028. Twelve per cent of the men made salaries ranging from $5,000 to $7.500, while only 7 per cent made larger sala- ries annually. “Civil engineering,” Greenleaf de- clared, “i$ the oldest branch of engi- neering, and it dates to _the construc- tion of the pyramids in Egypt. Dev(fl‘ opment of civil engineering to presen day efficiency has been nccomplisherl by the utilization of mechanical and | electrieal machines and appliances | which tend to speed operations, trans- portation and construction. In this evolution five main branches are out- standing, nemely, structural, railroad, highway, hydraulic and sanitary engi- neering.” 125 Colleges Offer Courses. Each type of engineering is defined, including Federal work, to which the profession 1s essential. Two-thirds of civil engineering grad- uates are employed in their own pro- fession, another 5 per cent operate in closely associated fields, 12 per cent enter other engineering branches and 17 per cent do not follow the profes- sion for which they studied, the study revealed. Nearly half of all engineers in the United States are civil engi- neers, it was learned. ‘There are 125 four-year colleges and professional schools "offering courses leading to degrees in civil engineering. No organization accredits or aporoves schools of engineering, but tbe Ameri- can Society of Civil Engineers has taken a step toward this end by titflbluhlng “student chlpflrs in schools of “ap- E:oved standing.” The society does not t these uhoola however PARIS POLICE PREFECT SEEKS BETTER MORALS | Not Too Much Improvement Want- ed—Just Good, Pure Liberty, Says Man Who Heads Move. | By the Assocthted Press.
