covered him, for he discovered him.
self. Some time ago the Atlantic
Monthly devoted a good deal of space
to various articles on railroad prob
lens. He read these articles with
great interest, and he saw in them
many statements which did not agree
with his own experience. He thought
it over for while, and one day he
went to call on the editor. He told
the editor what he thought about it,
and the editors answer was, in effect,
articles were written he could try to
/ do better, s-,....,'-. - .. -'.,. -
He Immediately started to write.
The result of his efforts is the series
which appeared under the title of THE
I Confessions of a Railroad Signalman"
These articles are not of nature
which tends to increase our national
pride in our railroad system. for they
are in effect rather, severe arraign-
ment OF the management of all rail-
roads in general and of his own, the
! Boston & Maine. mare particularly.
but none of the railroads has sued
the Atlantic Monthly for libel.
This series of articles brought him
to the attention of the public, and it
was not long before President Eliot
called him to Cambridge to confer
with him. President Eliot saw that he
knew what he was talking about, and
he appointed him to lecture before the
new School of Business Administra-
ton. He will give series of lectures
next spring, but the subject and the
exact time have not been decided on.
Soon after his interview with Presi-
dent Eliot he was called to Washing
ton for a conference with President
Roosevelt. What passed between them
reputation was made.
The answers of the railroads to the
first series of articles have been chief
ly of the What else can we do" sort.
and 1t will be interesting to see
whether Mr.. Pagan has gone deeply
enough into the subject to tell them
what they can do to improve things.
Just to fill in his spare time he is
lecturing in different parts of the
United States. now in Chicago. now
before the convention of railroad sur
geons in New York, or before the City
club of Boston, and he is beginning
to make people believe that he is not
working for himself all the time, -
but at least part of the time for his
ideals of what the American railroad
ought to be.
And. finally, this altogether remark
