  • Abstract
    The application of technical advances to the welfare of mankind is held to be the true contribution of engineering to civilization, rather than the advances themselves; power together with tools to use it, and not power alone, led to American industrial development. More than merely the availability of large amounts of power is necessary in order that standards of living may be raised, and maintained.
