Put Technical Matters First

In order that its student body may get more time to devote to technical matters, the faculty of California Institute of Technology has eliminated modern languages from the required curricula of the engineering classes. Students maytake special courses In languors if they desire, but the hours that were formerly devoted to such subjects have been given to electriclty and kindred matters. English and currant topics will also be Insisted on more than previously. Tbe change was made after a consultation between the faculty and Frank B. Jewett, chief engineer of the Western Electric Company; John J. Carty, vice-president of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, and ether prominent technical authorities.
