Excerpt from Journal of the Engineers Society of Pennsylvania As far as the engineer is concerned, this reflection points to the increasing importance of economy in the use of natural resources not in the sense that enterprise should be checked, which is im possible, save from inherent causes, but rather that there should be no needless waste of the materials entering into manufacture and construction. This, in the higher sense, will be one of the great moral responsibilities of our profession in the future. The other overshadowing problem which touches the engineer closely has to do with the adjustment of the wage-earning classes to the modern scale of undertakings. The conflict between socialistic and individualistic points of view never has been, and in my opinion never will be, anything more than a struggle between theory and practice, in which the practical point of view will prevail. Hundreds of communistic experiments have been tried, some broad and far-reaching in scope, but none has succeeded because no plan has yet been devised that did not pre-suppose a radical change in human nature.
