TT e North Western Railroad requires
every applicant for positit n as fireman
to make ten-day run as student in
company with another fireman and tn
gineer without pay, the engineer certi-
flying at the end of ten days as to the
ability of the applicant. Italso requires
three years service of it's firemen be-
fore they are promoted to engineer and
then not till ne has passed an examina-
tion at headquarters. Before taking
examinations you are permitted
ms nths study and practice at tier
laboratory. | do not mean to say that
these requirements are strictly entorc-
ed. The examinations for an engineer
are purely optional. One does not
need to take them. He can continue
as fireman until his turn for promotion
comes, which may be ten or fifteen
years. The reason for these examlna-
tions is to find out the good men re-
gardless of length of service. For
some men can hold job for lifetime
but still not be able to go one step high

in the end turns out to be the old pro-

like ned to a machine, and like a ma

state campaign, may soon become
known to the public, according to re.
ports Of statements made by Govern
or elect Joseph M Brown at ban
quet given In his honor here.
During his speech on that occasion
some one called upon Mr.. Brown to
state what were the contents of the
letter sent by him to Governor Smith
and returned by the latter unopened
Mr. Brown laughed heartily and said
that the letter was sealed and adj
dressed to the governor OF Georgia
in such condition he felt he had
no right to open 1t, but minated
that the contents Of the letter were
of such nature that he would have
no objection whatsoever to its publ
cation, which he might give out him

ENGLISH SCHOOL SYSTEM.
subject Of an interesting Card by Pro-
fessor J. S. Stewart.

have recently returned from a
three months study of European
schools and will give the readers Of
your paper occasional descriptions
of what / saw that might be sugges
tive to us in the south.
/ will first review a county system
as studied in Cheshire, which may be
taken as typical of such systems IA
England
The county levios penny or two
cents in the pound of assessable val
ues, raising thereby $4,000 in addi-
ton to the government grant and To-
sal aid In each school area The gov
eminent pays its money on condition
that certain standards are maintain
ed which are determined by govern
ment inspectors. The government
does not propose that its money shall
be wasted or that local effort and re-
sponsibility shall be stified, but AIDS
when the county has done its part
and its inspectors report that the in
struction Is well done Here are two
lessons that l wish sGeorgians could
quickly learn. We must insist upon
definite local support If the state con-
tributes and we must stop the waste
of thousands of dollars because we
do not follow up the appropriation
with expert inspection. Our present
plan is contrary to the experience
and practice of all progressive ma
tons. We should insist upon coun-
ty tax for education fairly proportion
ed to that which the county receives
from the state We might begin by
requiring a minimum Of one mili,
which may be increased by the coun-
ty to maximum Of Ave mills.
The county educational committee
Is composed of members Of the coun-
ty council, Of at least two women,
one elementary teacher and one Sec
ed by popular vote.
The active officers are the director
of education and his assistant direc-
tor, the county architect, the county
accountant the medical officer OF
health, the principal Of the county
agricultural school, the managers of
the dairy institute, lecturer on sick
nursing, instructor in physical drills,
the travelling teacher of dairying, and
the supervisor of sewing, cooking,
laundrying. The general government
has It's inspector of elementary
school, Of secondary schools, of even
ing schools, with one assistant for
each. This one county with its two
thousand teachers has eight times
more expert supervisors than the
state Of Georgia has for its eXpendi-
ture of two and one-half million dol
lars.
In addition to the county education
al committee each local school has
a school committee composed of
members of the county committee, Of
tho local authorities, and Of persons
interested in education. In this way
the schools are kept before the peo-
pie and the best thought of the COM
munity is concentrated upon them,
while specialists look after the de-
tails.
Would 1t not bring our schools clos
c. to the people if the boards were
elected by the people, and an advis-
hoard of prominent citizens inter-
ested in education might sit at stated
times with the official board?
Are we not wasting money by rot
recurring more officers to look after
different phases of the work and aid
teachers in the instruction of the
same?
