Directors Boston, Oct to get enginee —“Where you going for all them ships This somewhat colloquial -inquiry was directed many times to repre- sentatives of the United States Ship- ping Board Recruiting Service when the bigness of the plan for bridging the Atlantic with American cargo carriers to supply our armies and al- lies in Burope first projected itself upon the lay mind of the country. The public had been told there were not even enough marine eng neers who were citizens to man the ships flying the flag in pcace times. So the man in the street could not where the supply wi coming for the thousand ships to be | manned as merchantmen out of the | ,000 to be built by the Shipping d for the new merchant marin. The Shipping Board has provided, and continues to provide, an aswer to the question, through a’training for marine engineers which it reloped since the war began. | This system is entirely novel, and di tinctly American. Under it no out- talent has been required to pro- vide instructors, and no student not a o zen has been given instruction. When the war began the board proceded on the theory that there was plenty of material in the coun- try for an adequate supply of marine engineers. It estimated that ther were several thousand men in the engine rooms and firerooms of exist- ing merchant ships—oilers, water tenders and firemen—who could be made into engineers by a-little en- couragement and instruction. It e timated also that there were man hundreds of marine engineers follow- ing other pursuits ashore when the war b 1, who could be interested by the Government in a proposition to eturn to the sea Finaliy it estimated that there wer thousands of stationary enginec locomotive drivers and machinists who had worked on marine engine construction or repairs ashore, who ould be quickly trained to become marine engineers. These men were known to have the groundwork of | knowledge necessary for engines. It remained of teaching them the things they should know about salt- water practice in engineering, and to ive them their ‘sea legs” before starting them off on-voyages in the new Merchant fleet. “College Stuff” see from side marine merely | a question | New { Chicago, { Pennsylvania, !

That had become the accepted way of | training engineers on American ship But the new method had not long | made its bow befo mechanics | seemed to see something in it. The firemen and oilers took to it, and they came out with second or third assist- int engineers’ licenses in such a sur- orisingly short time that the method | of their advancement commanded re- pect. Classes at Technical Colleges. The Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology was chosen to launch the new idea for training engineers. Prof. Ed- { ward F. Miller, head of the engineer- | ng section of that high-class institu- | { tion, holds a marine engineer's licenso and is an authority on marine prac- tice in engineering. The first Shipping Board class “Tech” approved of Professor Miller and the “college stuff” so decidedl that it had not been at the college week before the value of the new tem was fully demonstrated. Professor Miller had been designat- ed by the Board as its chief instruc tor in marine engineering, and classes were started at other technical col- leges, including Tulane University at | Orleans, Armour Institute at ! the Case School of Applied Cleveland, University of Philadelphia, Johns | Universit Baltimore, and | Washington University, Seattle. Later schools were started at the University of California (Berkeley), in New York City and Jersey City, and at the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn The attendance at these schools to date has been more than 3,300. | The cou of instruction is bus on the premise that the man taught i already thorough mechanic. In- struction given him in the things | he would find hard to pick up by rule | of thumb experience. Some of the schools hold day ses- sions only, others have evening classes, in order that the student may | follow his usual occupation by day. Science, Subjects for Intensive Study. In a day school, as at the Massa- chusetts “Tech”, the forenoons are usually devoted to lectures and the af- ternoons to laboratory and demon- | stration work. | The men are tes | ted first in simple | I mathematics, and given a text book to | ald them. They are then instructed in such subjects as the action of salf water under heat; chemical tests of water; the character and use of fus- | ible plugs for boile Apacity of coal | bunkers, and char: and combus- handling | tion of coal used on ships; the rela- tion of coal consumption to speed, the character of propellers, and the ele- ment of * P’ pumps, alves, gauges and indicator cards. For demonstrating work the class | of sixty or seventy members is divided into small groups, each under an in- | v makes its bow.

The idea grimy-handed mc nelined to shy at it. “Colleze Stuff” yeemed too “hifalutin” to be worth much. The old-fashioned engineer as marine of novel that the anic was a little was so structor, who conducts the tests. Those for the first week include engine de- tails, slide valve setting, gauge test- ing, indicator card ng and flnally indicator card reading, which valves familiarity with a special strument, the planimeter. During the week every class has his special practice in these matters. In the second week the sub- Jects are measurement of horse-power, lining up of engines, piston valve set- ting and the condenser and air pump. The third week the laboratory sub- jects are the salinometer, duplex pump, water column and safety valve, while in the last week there are ex- | ercises with injectors, turbine-driven pumps, and an afternoon spent in a large stationary power house.
