The special instruction car of the International Correspondents School now being used on the Frisco System, which has been in this city for the past week, was moved away last night. It is being taken to Springfield, Mo-, where it will be placed for use by instructors during the coming week. This was the first visit of the school instructors to Birmingham, They will return in the car next November.
 The car is equipped with all the latest and most modern appliances for the instruction of students in loco motive equipment and work and in the airbrake appliances of the Vest inghouse and New York Companies No other instruction is given in the car but that which pertains closely to locomotive and airbrake work.
 The school has seven of these cars in use in it's railroad instruction de- partment. They are on various lines with which the managers have annual contracts. This car is No 115, and is used in the South and West, having a territory covering ,000 miles. h. struction is given only at terminal points. Visits are made once every oiA lhOHIIo lO IuOo6 pidCto CONtleu Dy the car
 The car here was equipped with fifty sets of car train airbrake equip ments, and has 300 views of locomo- tive appliances During the stay lee lures were given three times each day, all railroad men being invited to attend without any cost The car was in charge of J. E. Mcdonald superin- tendent; J. H. Scott, mechanical in- structor and Lester Love, engineer.
 The free lectures are given for the purpose of thoroughly explaining the airbrake equipment and locomotive work. Examples and practice work is done and all talks made clear by illustrations. The objects are to ad- vertise the school and to assist all railroad men desirous of self-instruc- l.on.
