Innumerable men and women had seen the kettle boil, but it occurredto only one that the force which lifted the lid might be confined and madeto do human service. The man finds or makes his opportunities, and inturn they help to make him.—Bishop Spalding. 58 State Manual Training Industrial Arts Numkkr. INDUSTRIAL MATHEMATICS. There is so much of life that is quantitative in character, and thereare so many relations of magnitude existing throughout the world aboutus, that mathematics can not help touching the affairs of practical lifeat so many points as to make it a most necessary part of any educationalprogram or course of study. It is true that the amount and the type ofmathematics necessary for the successful prosecution of different linesof work are widely different. Some vocations are almost nonquantitativein character, while, on the other hand, others are extremely quantitative,and the individual who successfully follows such an occupation must bevery well equipped with the different branches of applied of the engineering professions belong to this latter class, and .con-sequently those institutions which have as their aim the preparation oftechnical men not only insist on rigid mathematical entrance require-ments, but also
