RAILWAY EDUCATION.
li. is no uncommon thing to hear railway proprietors
a system of traffic and mercenary specula-
spoken. of (or at least thus much is hinted) as being
engaged L.
tion which at`.. sorbs their entire affections, leaving them
careless of the m9ral condition of those whose time and
services they command, in the numerous avocations
which a railway induces., It is enough, say these pre-
judiced observers, if ruiCsfaY directors can but produce
favourable reports at their meetings ; if they can but
succeed in showing a decrease: in their expense, or an
increase in their traffic ; it is suh"=,eient for shareholders
if they hear their line is prospero.w:, and if they have
a good half-yearly dividend declared ; what cares either
shareholder or director by what moans their ends are
attained, or if they are carried out by met; whose whole
time is engrossed by these railway monopolists, their
minds being left uncared for ?
Such complaints are as unjust as they are uncalled
for, and we are happy to know that they are gradually
diminishing. They form part of that incongruous mass
of prejudices against the railway system which are
now gradually—we might almost say rapidly-dying
away. It is to the interest of all who have any share
in the management of railways to have as their ser-
vants men, net only capable of performing their allotted
daily tasks with correctness, but men of general intelli-
gence, who can be depended on in an emergency, who
will not feel themselves at a loss if they are now and
then called to diverge a little from their ordinary
beater' path. To obtain such men it has been found
mutually advantageous to employ, even in the me-
chanical departments, men whose education has been
not nominal, but real, and opportunities for further
improvement have been provided on most of the prin-
cipal railways. During the progress of construction
of various lines of railway the labourers have had their
moral and religious wants attended to by the gentlemen
employing them, which has aikd very materially in
advancing- the moral character and in raising the
mental condition of the workmen. On the London and
Birmingham line, at the little town of Wolverton, a
school has been bailt for about 100 children, as also
S.
church, the seats of which are all free, which will ac-
commodate 900 or 1,00 persons. The inhabitants of
this town are almost entirely employed by, or in some
measure connected with, the railway ; in fact it is a
town which may be said to hay :e been created•by rail-
way enterprise, inasmuch as before the construction o
i-
the line it was an agricultural spot; with few inhabf
tants, while it now contains a populatit of some 1,000,
and the London and Birmingham annutilly expend in
the town about 50,0001. in wages, &c. These facts
will serve as a specimen to prove that railway pro-
prietors are not careless of the welfare of those whom
they employ : we could adduce many more, but it is
needless. But we must just mention that the Grand
Junction have attended to the bodily as well as mental
condition of their workmen, in establishing baths 'at
Crewe ; that at Fleetwood, another railway-made town,
schools for two or three hundred children have been
built ; and that, by reference to our last number, it will
be seen that the South-Western are about to
form a
benevolent fund for their employes, and s,lhools for their
servants' children.—Devonport Telegraph. .
