, the larger faults of looseness of language leading to ambiguity or false interpretation, are very often encountered. IV {From a construction engineer in a latge western city. ~\ The training an engineer needs most is in logic. The beauties of a figure of speech or of fanciful description may be appreciated but never imitated by an engineer. His work consists in stating clearly, in the form of a contract or specification, what he wish- es done, or in describing a piece of construction or desig...n for the benefit of his fellows, or in advocating the merits of a particular design before a board or commissioner. In all of these cases clear, precise statement of fact, together with a logical exposition of the reason- ing process leading up to his conclusions, are leading requisites for successful work. If he happens to be advocating a particular design he will frequently have to explain technical points in a convincing manner to men totally unfamiliar with engineering science. He must then, for the time being, lay aside his technical vocabulary and in the fewest and clearest words possible, lest he become tedious, explain his principle from the ground up.
