lengthy review Of the career and the
record of achievement of a former
oskalocsan, Ed e. Kerwin, who j:
now "Superintendent of the New
Jersey Central and Lehigh and Sus'
quehanna divisions of the conserva'
tive Central railroad of New jersey
The paper goes into detail and com
pliments the gentleman in the high,
est of terms, holding his record forth
as an example of what may be ac-
complished by any boy of the land
who will work and work hard. The
paper is sent to the Herald by another
old Iowa Central man, Mr.. B. G.sFal-
lis, as Mr.. Kerwin's native modesty
prevents his making any parade OF
what is said concerning his work. 1.
