Pennsylvania station the president
stood on the platform Of his car,
tipping his hat and smiling in re-
Spouse to the enthusiastic cheers of
hundreds of admirers.
The Pennsylvania station and plat

taken to insure the safety of the
president. The police arrangements
were under the personal supervision

president and covered every point.
As President Roosevelt alighte1

DAY AFTERNOON from seav m unc cuu
of locomotive attached to his spe-
cial train, and after ride Of about
so miles expressed himself as de-
lighted with his experience. When
his special reached Altoona, at 1850
o'clock in the afternoon, the presi-
dent alighted from his car and
walked rapidly to the front of the
train. Two engines were coupled to
it, ready to pull the heavy cars over
the Allegheny mountains, and the,
president shook hands with the
crews of each. He then climbed into
the cab Of the rear engine, No. 240s.
In the cab with him were Secretary
Loeb, Trainmaster A. Keiser, Spe-
cial Engineer Robert McLarn, the
regular engineer, H. T., Mccormick,
and Fireman H. W. Hunter, As he
took his seat the president remarked
that, being member of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, he
thought he ought to take his turn
at feeding the furnace, but he did
not do so. When Galitzen. the crest
of the mountains, was reached, the
front locomotive was detached from
the train and the run to Seward
was made with one engine. Here
the president climbed down from his
lofty seat and after shaking hands
with the engineers and firemen, went
back to his car rather dusty and
grimy, but encouraged over his novel
ride. While the presidents engine
occupied the second place on the
train tunnel seven-eighths Of
mile in length was traversed and,
although the cab was protected by
windows and doors, quite q quantity
of smoke found its way in. No rec
ord-brealdnk run was made while
the president sat in the cab, the
speed of the train not reaching over
As miles an hour. Outside Of his
ride on the engine the president
passed an uneventful day, devoting
large portion Of It to reading.
Stops were made at Baltimore and
Altoona, but only at one place did
the president make q speech. A
large crowd met his train at Harris
burg and, although no speech was
scheduled for this place, Ar. Roose-
vet appeared ON the rear platform
Of his car and delivered q nhorf ad-
dress, which was received with many
cheers.

 The natural conservatism and pru- dence of his New England birth made him laggard in many points of public progress-his unusual ideality of tenn perament made him a radical in many other points. For instance, he believed it was wasting the time of any healthy, intelligent boy who was looking forward to university training, to defer begin ming Latin and Greek longer than his ninth or tenth year. ''The drudgery of education ought to be over while it is pleasure to exercise the memory. After the age of fourteen it becomes hard to memorize, for then the powers of req son and conscious assimilation begin to awaken. If boy really knows his Lat in and Greek grammars by the time he is fourteen, and the mathematical pro- cesses, he will take pleasure in transla- tions and problems. Education was never meant to be bore. It ought to be a pure pleasure, but it can't be pleasure unless it is rooted in hard work"
 He was fond of contrasting the royal roads of learning of these days with the thorny paths of his boyhood, with their few educational appliances and still fewer holidays, and used to tell this story with much delight: At the Hop kins Grammar school, one winter morn ing, the master brought his ruler down or his desk with the resoundfng blow which called for the attention of all.
