And yet when he hasreached the point where he is old enough to attendan engineering school, and can play with real machin-ery, can learn «how to build real bridges, and canstudy the surveying and construction of a real rail-road, how different from play it seems and how oftenthe boy—now a man—tries to do as little as possible of the work planned for his prepara-tion as an engineer. Oftentimes, instead of trying to get as much as possible out of a val-uable scientific course, the student seems to think it his bounden duty to thwart the pro-fessors in their various attempts to instill into his mind the principles of the subject of whichhe is expecting to make a
