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. Includ
ing Pittsburgh. Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Schenectady and Niagara Falls.
These professors of electrical en
gineering. when Interviewed at the
Dodge Hotel after a visit of inspection
at the Bureau of Standards, were liberal
In their praise of the remarkable
achievements in electrotechnics wit
nessed at the Government Bureau. 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. As a mat
ter of fact,” Dr. Van Royen continued,
•‘only 25 per cent of the population of
Holland depends upon agriculture, while
45 per cent depend on Industry and the
remaining 30 per cent are divided
among the professions, trade and trans
portation.”
“It is also interesting to note,” Prof.
Thierens said, "that one of the chief
exports of Holland is electric bulbs,
which are manufactured at Eindhoven
by the Philiipps Co., which, through a
working agreement with General Elec
tric, serves that portion of Europe and
the rest of the world not touched by
General Electric.”
The visitors were received by the
Minister of the Netherlands, Mr. J. H.
Van Royen, yesterday afternoon just
before leaving for Pittsburgh.
