WOMEN STUDY TO
BE ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERS
Washington ,Feb. 6. — Enroll-j
mont of women, in engineering de
partments of American Utiviersities
and colleges, reflects the changing
demand for women in Industry. At
tho Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, there are 150 women studying
to bceome electrical engineers.
Clarence Retd, Professor of Electri
cal Engineering at The Kansas Agri
cultural College says:
"Women are being employed as !
power plant operators in the laTge
central stations of Europe, and have
been found entirely satisfactory.
None of the machinery in these
stations is operated by hand, but
's all contrplled by various forms
of electric motors, set in operation
bar the tquch of a button or by
electric magnets or air pressure, or
controlled in some manner so that
physical strength is not at all
necessary.. Work of this kind is
far less exhausting than many forms
o* work in which w(fuen (jre now
engaged, for central station operat
ors may use seats and have more
variety of movement in their work.
Desirable qualifications for enter
ing upon engineering study com
prises ability in mathematics and
interest in scientfc study."
