About eleven thousand men are

globe. Even the ancient cities of
Bombay and Calcutta are lighted
by electricity which is generated
with machinery manufactured by
this company. Mr. Bridges is one
of the 275 graduates representing
sixty-four colleges and . universities
from eighteen different nations. He
believeS; that the OAC graduates in
this. line of work stands about an
equal chance with the eastern grad
uates. He states that while some
of the older colleges may have more
apparatus than some of the western
colleges, yet. after all, proficiency
in principles seem ,to be the highest
requirement ; for admission to the
