A-6 AMERICA IS HELD INDUSTRY CENTER Mecca for Students Seeking Technical Development, View of Educators. America is seen as the mecca of In dustrial and technical development by Prof*. H. W. L. Bruckman and J. J. F. F. Thierena of the Technical University at Delft, Holland, who are conducting a group of 30 of their students on a three-week investigating tour of some of the Eastern industrial cities.

They believe that America is pointing the way to standardizations in the electrical industry which will be of incalculable value. Dr. William Van Royen of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce of New York City, who accompanied the group, said: ‘‘Manx people have the mistaken idea that Holland is a strictly agricultural country and that all in habitants either gain their livelihood through farming or Ashing.

H. Van Royen, yesterday afternoon just before leaving for Pittsburgh.
