Mr. Sanborn is a member of the class of 1900, Harvard University, is the author ot several poetical works and In his talk last night attempted to point out the rapprochement between poetry and engineering, two professions popularly considered far removed, the one creative or aesthetic and the other mechanical or utilitarian.

The relations, he said, are getting closer In all the arts, particularly between the aesthetic and the practical members of the family.

A nevf to persuade Congress to provide a drydock for the Navy Yard has been undertaken by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. By authority of the board' of directors, Secretary Mayo Fesler has written to Representative Thomas S. Butler, chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, asking that an appropriation for such a drydock be included lp the next appropriation bill.

Secretary Fesler's letter points out that the largest drydock now nbailable is T25 feet in length and that there are more than fifteen merchant vessels mii: plying from this port that are of greater length, and tiiat battle cruisers are now building here and in other yards that are 860 feet long. In event of war. the letter points out. New York Harbor would bo the first point of attack and injured vessels the larger type could not be dry-docked here for repairs. News of the chamber's attitude regarding the drydock is given the leading position in this week's issue of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce "Bulletin." which reached the 3,000 members of the organization today.

The "Bulletin" is double the usual size and contains many special features. In response to the many requests from members, the text of the address of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker before the chamber on Feb. 28, is carried in full. Secretary Baker revised the stenographic report of his speech for this publication.

Other features are a portrait of Representative A. Johnson, chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, who is to speak at a forum luncheon to.morrow; an announcement of a members' meeting called for Monday, March 29, to discuss the chamber's attitude on the New York-New Jersey Port treaty, and the proposed vehicular tunnel under the North River; a statement of the attitude of the directors on various pending legislation; part of the speech deli-ered by Gen.

Herbert u. uarpenter, address ing a meeting of the Fulton Street Board of Trade, in Ceres Hall, Troy avenue and Fulton street, last night, besought the members to wake tip and do something to better conditions in the connection referred to. Mr.

Carpenter- displayed pictures taken in and about Public School No. 35, Lewis avenue and, Decatur street, to show conditions there that, he contended ought to be remedied, and views of various sections of the borough to illustrate what he declared was the need of the proposed connection at Ashland place, between the Fulton street 'IV' and the subway system. Mr. Carpenter also denounced the B. H.

T. for its "cattle-car service" on and surface lines. When he concluded, Edward B. Shallow, associate superintendent of schools, commended what he termed the civic activities of Mr. Carpenter.

This city needs 500 Herbert L. Carpenters," Mr. Shallow asserted. "We need citizens like Mr. Carpenter, "said Mr.

Shallow, "to watch public officials and see that they do their dutv. The average official after his election seems to consider himself the law. I notice this more and more in this city, in the State and even down at Washington. We are not fit for self-government unless we watch our public officials and see that they do their duty and serve the people. "There used to be a cry here of a scat for every child.

This is almost impossible. The city is growing so mpidly that under present conditions schools could not be built fast enough to grive a seat for each pupil."

MrShallow said: "The case of Public School No. .15 must tro so that enough schools could be built and their children properly educated.
