B. & 0. LOOKS TO PENSIONS
Company Takes Census of Employees
50 With. This Object in:View. s.s@


Officials ofIthe Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company are having a complete
census made Of all the employees in ev-
cry. branch and department of its sys-
tenn. j, The company has about So, 900
persons in its service. This will give
an idea of the magnitude of the work.
1t is said that a fullsist of those en-
gagged to do the work of this vast corpo-
ration hastnever been compiled. There
is general knowledge by the superin-
tendents of the several divisions, both
of the operating and office forces en-
gagged under their supervision. This
informationIhas never been put into
such shape as to be Iof easy reference
to the directors ard the executives of
the road.
This work, it is understood,E has been
going on for several months and is now
nearing completion. The census will
give short biographical sketches of each
employe. The sname, date of birth,
time.of entrance into the service of the
company, with promotions and different
capacities in which the employee has
served.the road will be recorded. In
some instances,.it is thought, a brief
early sketch.of some of the more i'm
portant employees will be added.
This.work is intended to be complete
andIWill be'compiled in such form as to
be of ready reference to the officers of
the corporation. Those who may here
after be added.in the future to the rolls
of the company will, it is understood.
be required to give thel needed data at
the time they enter the service.
The purpose ,of this, it is generally
believed, -meansTthe Inauguration of a
pensionfpolicy by 1.-THE company. Such
policy is now in force with the Penn
sylvania and somesother railroads, and
it is understood the Baltimore and Ohio
intends toEadopt the system. Officers
of,the ccmpOny are reticent about the
matter, ..as it has not reached the stage
where its success or its final adoption is
certain. The directors and executives
have had it under consideration for a
long time, tits said, and the securing of
the census is thought to be the first step
toward the adoption Of the policy.
The'plan proposes that any employee
who has been in the service of the COM
panyfor 20 years may ask for voluntary
retirement on half pay when he or she
reaches the age of 65. When the en-
ploye reaches 70 years.of age the retire

The Newspaper Habit.

Americans occupy in so many respects
a material primacyi in the world affairs
that newspaper to them is what the
contents of bag of dispatches is to a
diplomatist, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Every American is politi-
cal sovereign and may aspire to the
highest official place. Generally, he is
even more of business man than poll
tician, and the columns of newspaper
are his panoramic survey of active
affairs. Is he interested in commerce,
mining, agriculture, or any of the my
Rad forms of industry? The newspaper
gives him the latest intelligence, if any
is stirring, in his special department.
His national boundaries reach from the
border of Asia to the eastern extremity
of the West Indies, from the lower
reaches Of the st. Lawrence to the arid
sands of southern California. There
are forty-five states, five territories and
a vast aggregate of outlying islands to
hear from. Exciting public issues sue
coed each other swiftly, and an Amer
lean may take some part in deciding
every one Of them. He may speak or
write, or debate as participant. His
ballot counts one, and no ballot counts
for more. He is no mere looker-on or
student Of distractions when porting
over a newspaper He is a part of
what occupies his mind.
Besides, an American newspaper of
the first class, habitually covering the
affairs of the world, is full of surprises,
since the news of the earth often travels
along unexpected lines. Monotony is
impossible in good American daily.
While it is true that some American
journals are prone to sensationalism,
and seek to give the news the aspect Of
tawdry theatricals, the fault is less
common than might be supposed.
Americans are not devoted to news
papers on account of the latest horrible
murder" or tracing forms AS soon
judge the Mississippi by the driftwood
on its surface. The readers of crimi-
nal news are far outnumbered by those
who merely skim it and turn away as if
from disease. Their thoughts are en-
crossed by what is infinitely better and
more useful Americans read newspa-
pers because more of them can read
Understandings, because their share in
the current affairs of the world exceeds
that Of any other people, and because
their newspapers, on the whole, are
the best

THURSDAY, JANUARY Il, 1906.

THE Washington Post refers to the
Republican party as one that never yet
cut watermelon just to see if it was
ripe. That is quite compliment from
a Democratic paper. It might have gone
on, though, and said that in contradis-
tinction to the Democratic party the
Republican party never engaged in lot
of fool things. 1t never blew down a
gun just to see if it was loaded; it never
sawed off the limb between itself and
the tree; it never bored hole in the
bottom Of the tariff ship just to see the
passengers buckle on life preservers and
leap overheard. In short, it never tried
to see how near it could venture right
into the crater Of hades without getting
its legs burned off.

Parents who undertake to assist their
children in the preparation of their
school lessons encounter some queer
difficulties. Long division, for instance.
presents stumbling blocks that trip up
the wisest minds of a generation ago.
In that benighted age youthful students
of arithmetic were taught that in an ex-
ample in long division the divsor was
placed at the left of the dividend, the
quotient on the right, while the remain
der was written at the end of the quo
tient. Old fogies who have dropped
hopelessly behind the times now at
tempt to introduce those antiquated
methods when tutoring their offspring,
but the youngsters scornfully correct
them.
"Oh, that isn't right, " they explain,
you must put it down this way"
Then, according to present-day in
struction, they put the quotient above
the dividend and set the remainder in
the little crook on the right, formerly
occupied by the quotient. Before these
eccentricities of modern education the
parent sits amazed and helpless, trying
to prepare himself for the next innoya-
ton, which will probably be to make
the figures upside down.

lsraels enemies; and they had in that
knowledge the. best assurance that
the thOrns and briars would certainly
get their work in also, when the time
came.
And they had not long TO wait. Be
fore daylight the next morning the
teacher was at work. Indeed that was
a sharp lesson Gideon and his three
hundred were giving! what a lively time
there was that morning on the banks of
Jordan! One cannot but fancy he sees
the contemptuous churls hopping about,
as they howl their answers to the keenly
pointed lesson. Last evening bread
giving should have been a real pleasure
to them-they should and might have
chosen that. This morning thorn-taking
is far from pleasurable. Gods true
messenger threatens not in vainl
These men of Succoth were guilty of
the folly common to so many by re-
fusing duty plain as the light, they gath
cred them bundles of thorns to sit upon,
presently!
And every duty is sacred; and every
neglect of duty will be punished! Is it
not, perhaps, a pity that thorn-and-
brier lessons are so seldom taught?
Gideon's example might be good one
to follow.

LITTLE SEM0NS. NO. II.
BY UNCLE JAY BEE.


''He took the elders of the city and
thorns Of the wilderness, and briers,
and with them he taught the men of
Succoth. -
The man Gideon was a powerful fac
tor IN working out the Divine purpose
in the planting Of Israel in the Promis-
ed Land. He wrought nightly under
the Divine impulse, and showed in MANY
ways the highest qualities of leadership.
Certainly he was courageous, and he
was no less resourceful.
To my mind no act in his brilliant ca

take it that these also belonged to
one or other of the tribes of Israel, and
were by that relation bound to help
their brethren. But even as strangers
or aliens, the common law of hospitality,
everywhere in the East held sacred,
compelled them to give bread to these
weary, fainting ones. In any case.
Gideon had fullest right to be indignant
at their haunting refusal to succor his
little army in their sore need.
This Gideon was indeed a new man in
the role Of leadership; but these Sue
cothites had surely heard how the
trumpets and pitchers worked against

ment becomes obligatory Of half pay.
This is not new theory 1t has
been in force in the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn for many years, and no matter how
capable man may be for work, when
he becomes 70 years old he must retire.
The last example of this in Baltimore
was the retirement in February last of
Mr.. George c. Wilkins, general agent of
the Pennsylvania system in Baltimore
Mr.. Wilkins was then, and is now, full
Of vigor and energy for man of his
years, but the arbitrary rule of the COM
pany prevailed, and he had to GO He
did so reluctantly. The rule applies not
only to those in official positions, but to
those in the humbest stations in the rail
road service.
The matter has not been tulIy worked
out, but that it will be finally adopted
there is little doubt. Most of the exc
cutive officers, it is said, approve of it,
and the directors have been brought to
see the advantages which will follow it's
adoption. 1t is believed that it will
make the employees more loyal to the
road and more faithful and painstaking
in the discharge of their duties. 1t was
pointed out that if conscientious service
IS to be rewarded by substantial recog-
milton when the usefulness of the en-
ploye is impaired by the infrmities of
age, a better class of men can be OBJ
tanned and better service secured from
them. The compulsory retirement at
70 years will, it is thought, give encour-
agement to those newer in the service
to look for rewards in the way of pro
motions when vacancies occur.
The Baltimore and Ohio has relief de-
partment in operation, which provides
for the maintenance of its retired or in
jured members. In this the members
required to pay portion of their salary,
and in accordance with the amount for
which they wish to become insured. The
company encourages its employees to
become members of this relief associa-
ton, but it is not compulsory 1t is
said that the Baltimore and Ohio was
the pioneer in this form of railroad in
surance, and that much relief has been
given its employees and their families
through it's establishment.

vote to make it unanimous. Sign the
contract properly, notify the teacher,
who then becomes the secretary of the
board of trustees under the law. Send
the contract to the board for confrma-
ton and if the board has d reason for
not confirming it you viii be so notified
at once. Open your school in peace and
harmony, and in two or three days make
every possible observation, support the
teacher in every way and if you find he
is failure after having been properly
supported, call a meeting of the trustees
and ask for his resignation, and if he
refuses give him 80 days notice to quit,
but by all means support the school and
keep it as good as possible, even after
the teacher has been notified TO quit.
In the meantime you may lawfully elect
another teacher to begin at the end of
30 days. the misfortune of having
made a mistake in the selection of a
teacher does not argue that a school
must run down.
No teacher is legally elected except
when the board of trustees has been
assembled by the president Of the board
of trustees.
Another unfortunate reason for the
closing of some of our schools is the
resignation of teachers without giving
the required 80 days notice.
It's an honor-bound duty of every
teacher when he contracts for school
to finish that school unless for some
good reason, when he should give the
required 80 days notice. Old feuds,
neighborhood quarrels and little jeal-
ousies too often find their way into the
school and leave their sad and fatal
wounds to be charged with the schools
failure. | hope | have not said anything
that will hurt the feelings Of anyone,
but if what have said will help to rem
edy some of the misfortunes that have
come to my notice in some of the schools,
| shall be glad Some of the teachers
have asked what holidays are yet to
come. The only remaining holidays to
report are New Years Day, Good Fri
day and Easter Monday. Washington's
Birthday, Maryland Day and Arbor Day
are to be observed by proper exercises,
but not as holidays.
