  • Abstract
    Civilization grows as a consequence or community contacts among human beings, which contacts are largely made possible by engineering. The relation of engineering to society and social adjustment is one of inseparability, and although much progress has been made through historic time in the improvement of living conditions, further opportunities for improvement are outlined in this article by a noted engineer.
