I have recently de-signed a little device and applied it tothe lubricating system of a locomotivewhich revolutionizes the present prac-tice. As you are aware, the past rec- Making of Good Engineers. It has been said that any man cando a job with good tools, but it takesa mechanic to do a good job with poortools. Perhaps this is the reason whythe Traveling Engineers Associationis working so hard on the subject. Someof the tools are awful—reasons, re-trenchments, monthly allotment sys-tem, shortage of power, etc. Educationis what we all need and the companiesor persons operating the railroadsshould recognize this fact, besides theTraveling Engineers, and take stepstoward establishing the proper schoolsfor this purpose.
