The Engineer and His Relation to Government

Whether democracy in America can endure depends in no small measure upon the attitude of the great professional classes in general, and in particular upon the attitude and effectiveness of the engineer in his relation to government, says this well-known engineer and educator, who states further that although there is an enormously complex system of organizations of scientists and engineers in the United States, this mechanism is not utilized to the full in expressing the viewpoints of engineers generally upon important public questions. To meet this need, Doctor Bush suggests that the organization of engineers should be integrated, simplified, and strengthened.
