- W4230504040 abstract "IT is clear from the matter in this little book that the author has had very extensive experience in municipal engineering, and the list of important appointments he has held—as noted on the title-page—gives ample confirmation of this impression. He is therefore usually a safe guide in the matter of offering advice to young men who intend to enter this profession. The position, appointment, and training of the municipal engineer are explained, and the special responsibilities he has to accept are fully discussed. A considerable number of examinations have to be passed; these provide, or should provide, evidence of a sound training in the scientific and other subjects required of the municipal engineer. It is, therefore, unfortunate that the author, whilst decrying “cramming,” suggests on p. 44 that there are numerous coaches or crammers who can assist a candidate. We should rather have expected advice of a kind which would have led young men to spend a few years in following a course in engineering with special attention to municipal engineering. Such courses are now available at several colleges, and when combined with a pupilage for the sake of acquiring practical experience will produce properly qualified men. That the author fully understands this is clear from other pages in the book, and it is unfortunate that the blemish on p. 44 should appear in this otherwise excellent and helpful volume." @default.
