will not constitute, and they will not define, the great
engineer. The characteristic marks of the great engineer
will be four: Magnanimity-Scientific Intelligence-Humanity-Action.
He will be religious and he will be patriotic: "to do
good" will be his religion, and his love of country will
embrace the world. For he will be the scientific organizer
and director of the civilizing energies of the World in
the interest of all mankind.1
'Readers interested in what may be called the Humanization of engineering will find it profitable to examine the folowing works:
F. W. Taylor: The Principles of Scientific Management (Harper and
Brothers, 1916).
H. L. Gantt: Work, Wages, and Profits (The Engineering Magazine
Company, 19I6).
W. N. Polakov and others: The Life and Work of Henry L. Gantt
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 920z).
Dr. Walter N. Polakov: Mastering Power Production (The Engineering Magazine Company).
Robert B. Wolf: "Individuality in Industry" (Bulletin of the Society
to Promote the Science of Management, 1915); Non-Financial Incentives
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 19I8); "Securing the Initiative of the Workman" (American Economic Review Supplement, I919);
and Modern Industry and the Individual (A. W. Shaw Company, I920).
Especially Messrs. Polakov and Wolf deserve the highest commendation and the thanks of all men and women for their insistence upon
bringing the theory and practice of engineering under the control of
humane considerations, upon basing engineering on the time-binding
principles characteristic of humans instead of the space-binding principles
characteristic of animals, and upon thus making engineering the chief
of civilizing agencies, devoted to the promotion of Freedom and Justice
throughout the World. These men have the vision to see that the time
is coming when to call one a "mere space-binder" will be to call him
a brute but to call one a time-binder will be to call him a man, a human.
