The addres-ses -will be followed bI- a detailed studyof conditions in different parts of thewvorld and a survey of the possibilitiesof Christian service in the professionalfields.

Sulnnlarized. the purposc of the Con-vention is to help the Americann Stu-dents to realize the critical needs aiid

bossililitics of the situation in theworld todav and to consider the re-sp~onsibility of thc Christian studentsof the United States and Canada inlight of this situation.

TllC p°-,;itionI tilat the cngillecr occulpics in ill-dustrv is usually limitedl by thc mlajori-tv< of TcoIplc to thlC direct p~roductionof commllodtities.

Research Calls EngineersIt canllot bc denied that the direct

prodllctioll of goods employ-s thegreatest numbller of technical graduates.This conditioll is justified wvhen weconsi'der thc increasillg tendellcy to theuse of machines and other lab~or-sav-ing devices -,vhicll have dispensed -,vithmtlch matlual labor but w-hich ncces-sarilv require the services of mnany111n wl sho are trained along technicallines.

Although most Technology grad-uates will undoubtedly drift into thisparticular kind of wNorkc, it is imnperativethat w-e cmp~hasize the fact that manyof them will find excellent oppcortuni-ties in the other divisions of industrialenterprise. The value of an engineerin the sales departnlent of a corpora-tion is becoming mnore and more evi-dent every day wvhile the purchasing ofraw materials is another field whichpays in dollars and cents whenl placedunder similar supervision. Then, ofcourse, the training of an engineer isnowv being utilized in the field of re-search, a branch of industry which hasbeen someuwhat neglected in the past.

An investigation is bciiig made byth. Hodgson Psy chological Researchdeparticnnt of Harvard University tofind out if there are any men at Har-vard who have experienced mental tel-epathy. A questionllaire has been sentto 150( students asking whether thestudent has ever had a case of thoughttransfcrence, and if so what were theparticuilars of the case. Some 400 menhave alreadv answered the question-naire and of these a few will later beexamined as possible material for ex-periment.

WATER POWER SUBJECTOF ALDRED LECTURE

(Continued from Page I )

limlinarvr survev sufficient to mnap outthe powver development betw een thelInI1itsof itseffect on the river. Thenl thenecessary rights for development aresecured from the governmlellt, land pur-chased or optioned for the site of thepower house and dam, and lands whichwill lie flooded by raising the riverlevel.

Describes Financing of ProjectAs soon as these steps are taken, a

company is formed to takse over theproperty and rights. The capital stockof this comipany is sold to pas- forthese rights, and the prelimnilary ex-penses. To obtain funds for the dam,powner house, and so oil, a bond issueis floated. The bonds constitute a firstmortgage oll all the property of thecompanyv, and whatever property itnmay acquire in the future. Vice Presi-denlt Smith described in detail the coiI-ditions under which the bond issue isfloated, and other nlatters relating tobonds.

It is now the dutv of the Chief En-gineer to take all th~e data and reportsfrom the preliminary work, and designand build the power plant. These pre-limlinary reports, according to VicePresident Smnith, often contain underestinzates, because thev are, made toobtain mnoley, and under such condi-tions even the most competent andreliablel engineers are apt to under es-timate, for, said Vice President Smith,"It is a human characteristic to thinkas 'we hopeYt For this reason theChief Ellgilleer is usually handicapped1by finding that be may have to coml-piete the project inside an inadequateallowvance, which he perhaps had nopart ill establishing.

Water Stores Much EnergyNow conieIs very careful survreying of

the site, geological studs- of the undler-lxil. stat, including rock b~orings todeterineil -what weight the rock wvillcarrvy Besides these investigations,water records must be taken from thefirst, and should extend over a periodof several v-cars, according to VicePresident Smlith, 25 years not being toolollgr.

Here Vice President Smnith pointedout the incomparable advantages ofwater power as a mleans of storingpower. He show ed that other mearnsof energy storage, as chemical or me-chanical, could not approach the stor-age of avater " in meeting the conI-ditions required of length of time, largeamounlts of energy stored, and the caseof conversion wvhenl required."

The next part of the lecture, regard-ing design of the dam and powter house,was largely technical. The choice ofnumbler of units. kind of turbines, typeof generators, and design of the damnto withstand strains properly were ex-plained. It wsas pointed out that it iscommilonI practice to drive the auxiliarymachinery of a plant with a separatealternating current systeml, as amneansof saving powvcr.

Water Wheels Very EfficientIt wvas shown that only about 47 per

cellt of the entire expense of a -waterpowecr developmen~lt goes into permla-tlC2t wNork;, about 33 per cent not lbeing,for direct expellditllres in the field, andab~out 20 per cent being temporaryConstruction equipment.

As far as efficiency is concerlled,Vice President Sm-ith said that thereis very- little imlprovemlenlt to be madein our present generating eqmipmnclt.Up to date wsater rvheels are develop-ing over 90 per cent of their theoretical power. Nfost generators are from 95to 97 trer cent eifficiellt, and could becmade more so if the cost were not pro-hi})itive ill most cases.

According to Vice President Smith,an improvement which wvill mnake pos-sib~le the developmellt of niany %vaterpowers now out of the question ollaccount of cost, weill be the increase inspeed of the units. In fact, there arenlow designs of turbines being broughtout which are capalble of speeds twiceas high as those of the present Francisturl)ines. Bvt doubling tile speed, therost of the hydraulic iiachiiiery wvillnot be grcatly effected, lbut tilc costcof the c'ectrical machiiiery mighlt bereducedl 25 per cent, Vice PresidentSmiithl believes.

Water Power llas Lig futureHec said that the operating staRff of

a five or six; unit station shouldl nothave to beC maore than 20 menl, and fiepointedl out that if the station had a

capacity of a 100,000 horse powver, theniuml)er of mnel per hlorse power is vcrysmiall. To take care of the operatingstaff, houscs and roads are b~uilt, andrailwav collnectioll is nmade, ilicluliniga siding runn~ing IlltO thc powecr house5.
