He who professes to be a steam-engineer, and does not make an effort to keep informed as to the new developments in his profession, will find his usefulness growing beauti fully less and his services valued accordingly.
On the other hand, the unskilled coal-shoveler, who applies himself to study and research to ao quire a practical knowledge of steam-engineering, will generally qualify himself for a steady position at good wages.
