RAILROADS AS Teachers.

Several railroads have of late under
taken the part of school teacher. Five
years ago the Good Roads Train"
came through the south from Chicago
laden with model apparatus for MAX
ing roads, and manned by experts
who gave practical demonstrations in
road-making. A hundred thousand
farmers in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, and the Dakotas remember the
Seed Corn Special" and other agri-
cultural colleges on wheels which was
out year or so ago distributing
the best information that could be
gathered by the state universities and
the state and national departments OF
agriculture. Last month a northern
New England railroad company took
up this idea, already familiar in the
south and west, and sent out bet
ter Farming Special" Several other
companies have done much to build
up and beautify towns on which the
prosperity of their business depends.
The "peripatetic schools" are sup
ported partly by the railroads, partly
by other associations or companies
Interested in the prosperity of the
country.
The railroad companies do service
to the people to whom they bring
knowledge and encouragement, and in
5urn they profit by the increase of
production along their lines.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

Estimates of the net losses of the
insurance companies from the San
Francisco confagration have been
made. The English companies were
among the heaviest losers, according
to the estimate, the Royal Insurance
Company of Liverpool being the heav-
lest individual loser, its insurance be-
ing placed at four millions. Another
English company was involved to the
extent of nearly three millions, and
another to the extent OF two and half
millions. At least part of the good
American money which has been flow
ing into the Golfers of the English
companies will wend its way back to
this country, and at time when it is
sorely needed.
