ENGINEERING
Literature covering the function of the engineer in society, especially in America, is very limited compared with books of information on most subjects. Engineering activities such as are usually described cover the technical achievements of the profession. Useful material, however, will be found scattered throughout the technical literature and engineering society proceedings especially among the addresses and articles of leading engineers prepared for special occasions. A comprehensive history of engineering has never been written, although there are many treatises dealing with particular developments in this field. Among these may be mentioned Bright’s “Engineering Science, 1837–1897”; Matschoss’s “Beiträge zur Geschichte der Technik und Industrie” (“Jahrbuch des Vereines deutscher Ingenieure”); and Smiles’s “Lives of the Engineers.” On engineering education, the “Proceedings of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education” and Bulletin No. 11 of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, “A Study of Engineering Education,” by Charles R. Mann, offer useful information. Concerning the status of the engineer in the economic order, Taussig’s “Inventors and Money Makers,” Veblen’s “The Engineers and the Price System,” together with Frank Watts’s “An Introduction to the Psychological Factors of Industry,” will be found of value. On the relation between labour and the engineer, much can be found in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science for September, 1920, on “Labor, Management and Production.”

MEDICINE
No attempt is here made to give any exhaustive, or even suggestive, bibliography. Only specific references in the text itself are here given in full, so that the reader may find them for himself, if he so desires. But on the general subject of “Professionalism,” although it deals more with the profession of law than of medicine, some valuable and stimulating observations can be found in the chapter of that name in “Our Social Heritage,” by Graham Wallas (Yale University Press, 1921).
