Someof the concerns giving practical instruc-tion have fallen into the habit of promis-ing to obtain lucrative employment forstudents who have remained a certaintime under instruction.

Inthe first place the drawing of the enginewas made by Mathias N. Forney in 1863,the draftsman who afterward became thecelebrated engineering journalist and nodoubt the designing was done in consulta-tion vvitli Samuel J. Hayes, at that timesuperiii lent of machinery of the IllinoisCentral Railroad. of this size and the heating surface wasconsidered unusually liberal. That form of engine became verypopular and the proportions were imi-tated by several contract locomotivebuilders. In fact the general design be-came a sort of standard and has beencalled the American type. We are indebted to Mr. W. O. Moody,mechanical engineer of the Illinois Cen-tral, for the photograph of the engine.
