PINE PROGRAM FOR
LAIJOR DAY EXERCISES
THE COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS HAS COMPLETED THE PRO*
GRAM FOR LABOR DAY EXERCISES TO BE HELD AT CEN
TRAL CITY PARK—THERE ARE MANY INTERESTING FEATURE8
AND THE ARRANGEMENTS WILL EXTEND THROUGH THE EN*
TIRE DAY—TWO ADDRE88E8 AND A BA8KET PICNIC AN
NOUNCED—MANY MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL ORGANIZATION
WILL ATTEND, AS ALSO WILL THEIR FRIENDS.
The committee on programme
arrangements yesterday completed the
work of piecing feature* for the en
tertainment of the crowd* who will at
tend the exerclaea which are to be
held at Central City Park on Labor
Pay, Monday. September 6. The pro
gramme Is a long one and ha* upon
It some feature* which promise to be
highly Interesting.
The committee haa been diligent In
working up a programme which will
be moet enjoyable and If It Is carried
out aa arranged, the coming Labor
Pay exercises In Macon r/lll be the
most elaborate In the history of t)>e or
ganisation here.
There If yet one week to prepare for
the occasion end no time Is being lost
In making extensive preparation*. All
members of the labor unions are much
concerned In the success of the ex
ercise* and will do much to bars the
day fittingly obnerved in Macon.

times, and whlla-no sleet flow, It was

followed In the wake of the flrat long

and comfortable, and the talkers looked
on and continued to shiver. Before

BOSTON. Aug. 27.—During the past
two decades the development of elec
tricity hag Included practically every
department ot modern industrial life,
and .the profession of electrical en
gineer has become certainly the most
modern and ln many reepecta the moat
universally* Important profesxlon now
open to young Americans. The elec
trical engineer la not only the man be
hind the electrical apparatus that
yearly play* a more important part in
developing our modern Industries and
operating our modern cities, but also
the man on all sides of It, eternally
fixing wires, watching the evolutions of
dynamos. Installing new telephone*,
telegraphs, electric railways and light
ing systems, or planning minute Im
provements upon those already ln ex
istence. He goes to sea on the liner or
warship and dives under It In subma
rine vessels; he burrows Into the earth
to conduct mining ofieratlona and has
planted Its surface from one end of civ
ilisation to the other with the count
less poles necessary to connect his tel
ephones and telegraphs; he lights our
cities, propels our whizzing trolley cars
snd Is now beginning to All the very
ether Itself with wireless messages.
All this of course has come Into be
Ing since Franklin sent up his famous
kite, hardly more than a century ago.
and most of It, tho entire profession
of electrical engineering as something
for hundreds of young men to take up
as a life work—has grown up prac
tically In the last two decades.
1986. for example, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, In this city,
graduated but two electrical engineers,
while at present, twenty years later,
there are In the neighborhood of 200
students studying electrical engineer
ing Jn the Institute courses and some
460 odd 'graduates. This number
simply an Important fraction of the
sum total of young Americans
studying electrical engineering either
In Germany or In the various techno
logical schools that have developed In
America since electrical engineering
began to assume Its present Import
ance. And within the last two years
the Inst tute has erected an electrical
laboratory that not only equals any
thing In Germany, but Is said by ex
perts to be In some respects superior:
which means literally ,the present hold
ing of the world's championship belt
for the equipment necessary to elec
trical Instruction.
Here, therefore, one obtains an ex
cellent 'opportunity to see the mnklng
of the man behind so many modern
Inventions and conveniences. In the
earlier history of applied electricity he
was Inevitably a self-made product, a
condition that has become practically
Impossible under the rapid develop
ment of electricity as a very useful
handmaid of modern civilisation and
and the consequent demand for young
men who enn take up Its practical ap
plication with a sound working knowl
edge of Ha theoretical aspects.
Few people except T(he electricians
have any conception of the tremen
dous scope of this preliminary train
ing. This telephone, to take a single
familiar example, seems to most of us
a simple affair of transmitter and re
celver, and we seldom pause to con
sider the miles and miles, to say noth
ing of the tons and tons, of copper wire
Included In a flrat class telephone ser
vice. To the electrical engineer, how
ever, all this copper wire Is as matter
of fact a* the buttons on our waist
coats, and be Is equally familiar with
the perfections and Imperfections of
the great switchboard that enables all
the wire to be controled and placed
now at the service of one customer and
now at that of another.
First of all the young electrical en
glneer must become acquainted with
physics, nmthematlcH snd mechanical
drawing. These are the three flrat es
sentUila of knowledge that must be at
the Angers' ends of either the mechani
cal. civil or electrical engineer,
working knowledge of physics Is the
foundation upon which humanity
builds equally Its whole superstructure
of useful machines. Its bridges, rail
roads, turnpikes, and canals. Its power
plant* and various electrical systems.
Mathematics he must know ln order to
make the never ending mathematical
calculations Involved ln the practice of
each profession and drawing he must
know In order to sketch the plane by
which other workmen may carry out
hie Ideas. Dry enough this beginning
would appear to many persons loktng
back at their own school days, and dry
enough much of It la. But the young
engineer begins almost Immediately to
learn by seeing and doing as well aa by
hearing and reading, and a good half
of hla time Is spent In laboratories,
working out experiments for himself
under the eye of an Instructor or In ex-
amtnlng real machinery and mo learning
the exact application of theoretical
knowledge.
Ills lecture hours, moreover, are In
tereatlngly diversified In a fshfou un
dreamt of twenty year* ago. for they
are sometimes Illustrated by klnetoe
coplc pictures, at other times by new
pieces of machinery Imported for the
purpose from the big electrical plants,
and at yet others by miniature work
ing models, showing, for example, the
lightning system of several adjacent
cities from a single power house, the
electrical signals of a railroad, or the
Inner workings of a modern telephone
system.
One of the most remarksblg technical
lecture halls in the world Is undoubted
ly the lecture room In Boston, almost
In the shadow* of Trinity church, de
voted to the future electrical engineers
of the Massachusetts Institute. In thla

In tho course of the next few days
force of workmen will be put to work
In grading and repairing the present
road leading from Macon to the Geor-
Induetrlal Home. For sometime the
trustee* of the home have been hard at
work trying to arrange with the county
officials to have the road put into a
safe condition for use. Though the
road was built some time ago the lack
of ‘constant use and repairings when
such were needed allowed the way to
the home to fall Into a very bad state
of repair.
This proved quite a drawback to the
best Interest of the Industrial Home in
many ways. There were hundreds of
Macon’s Influential citizens that would
have taken drives to the home but for
the poor state of the road. The drive
out there Is just long enough to be
pleasant and with the road In a good
condition traffic will be almost con
tinuous.

moreover, Is thus equivalent to several
reasonably well equipped lecture
rooms, and ln order to work the differ

tory building, by means of a ten-ton
crane moving the length of the large
student labratory, lectured upon before
a class of students and then returned
to Its owners without disturbing the
regular routine of the Institution.
So much the future of electrical en
gineer learns by lectures and class
room exercises, but quite as much of
his time la given to study of a more
practical description, in which ho
learns theory by applying it to prac
tice. He becomes a worker In wood
and Iron In laboratories devoted to
carpentry, blacksmlthlng and metal
turning: ln othtr laboratories he learns
the secrets of steam engines, boilers
and other steam appliances, and Anally
In the *blg laboratory of the technology
electrical engineering department he
performs for himself practically every
detail of electrical operation. Clad In
overalls and Jumper he tests machinery
under every probable condition, run
ning the big permnnent generators of

of lamps, transformers and motor*.
His main laboratory Is a loom some
260 feet in length snd Ailed with per

apparatus with which he becomes per
sonnlly familiar. Connected with this
main power room Is n series of smaller
laboratories in which advanced stu
dents work on their own si eclat re
searches on some Important detail In
the complex business of electrical en
gineering, this, of course, being the
Anal touch to his "academic** training.
It Is ap Interesting fact that In the
mnklng of practical electrical engineers
the United States has always stood
somewhat ahead of Germany, despite
Germany's greater prestige and larger
laboratories. The latest addition to
the technology laboratorleit, however,
has given this country what is un
doubtedly the best modern equipment
for practical Instruction. And In de

BARRETT ON BARREETT.
Diplomatic Genius Who Hat Kept
Latin*American Statesmen
Guessing.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
It Is with keen Interest, but hardly
with surprise, that ws learn on the
occasion of ths Hon. John Barrett's
transfer from Argentina to Panama
that during his brief stay in the former
country be has taken care to diffuse
the rays of his towering Intellect over
the utmost atrstrhes of the broad pam
pas of the Southern continent.
This we receive by the sutborlty of
the Buenos Ayres Herald, which tes
tifies to the spread of his name and
fame "until there Is hardly a peasant
in the Chaco who has not some knowl-
edge of the travels and adventures of
the great White Minister, as told by
himself to the papers of a hundred
countries, printed In almost aa many
languages.— The same paper rec
ognises that Mr. Barrett'a Interview In
New Tork on the brilliant conduct of
his functions "abandoned all diplo
matic reserve and invested bis oracular
observations with a self-confidence and
da.h that call for the admiration of
those who prefer effect to discretion."
But the Herald excepts to the proprie
ty of “his suggestion that be had
learned and mastered more of the
complex questions relating to this
country's commerce In the brief apace
of a few months than hla predecessors
had done In as many years."
Aa already said, the United States
need not be surprised at the corusca
tions of Mr. Barrett's greatness by tha
multlplephrasa antoblographlcal sys
tem from the plains of Argentina to
the defiles of Panama. II waa fore

aerobatic talents exhibited by Mr. Bar.
