HARTMAN ON EDUCATION.
Declares High School Boy Has Best
TRAINING For Railroad Work.

Declares High School Boy Has Best
Training For Railroad Work.
Edward Hartman, the railroad
owner and financier, has written for
the Yale Daily News his views on COL
lege training as preparation for rail-
roading. He said in part:
"The question which you have ask
ed me is college education an essen
tial or even a valuable preparation
for a man who expects to enter rail-
roading?' is a hard one to answer,
and my answer is both yes and mo-
A college education will be a great
help If the man in going through COL
lege has kept the foundations Of high
school learning firmly fixed. On the
other hand, If he has neglected his
handwriting and forgotten his arith-
metic in higher mathematics, nothing
could be worse for him. If, however,
he still retains these essentials he has
a great advantage in that he has a
broader view Of the world and a
greater knowledge of how to learn.
THE high school boy has the ad-
vantage in that all the first essentials
Of good work in railroading are at his
fingers ends. For instance, take the
making Of a simple statement.
"A statement should be like a pic
ture, something that can be taken in
at a glance, not a tumble Of letters
and figures that must be traced care
fully out and the meaning extracted
from the superfluous matter. A high
school boy will draw such a state
ment with perfect accuracy and clear
ness. while a young college graduate
will draw it in such a way that it f. a
puzzling scrawl.
Thus, college education is, in the
beginning, a real disadvantage and I
have found that in every case the high
school boy does better work than the
college man for the first few years.
However, as soon as the college man
has overcome these habits and has
gotten back to first principles, he will
go ahead much faster than his less
educated rival. His mind is, natural
ly, better developed and more capa-
BILE Of grasping the fine points Of the
business. On the other hand, the
high school boy as being younger, is
more adaptable and has not in most
cases the irregular habits of the COL
lege man.
mo matter how we'll educated a
man may be, he must start in rail-
roading at the very bottom.
"a railroad man has no fixed home,
he is like a naval officer, always at
sea, and, moreover, he is always
working to the limit of his endur-
ance. 1t is the hardest life know,
and yet one of the most pleasant. 1t
cultivates an insight. 1t teaches a
knowledge of men and in this way is
the best training for any profession.
Pull can never carry a man far In
railroading. 1t is hard work and ap-
plication that count. Many a man
starts out well, but lacking the stick
to-it spirit, which Is so pre-eminent-
ly essential, falls into obscurity.
My advice to the college man ex-
pecting to enter railroading and hop
ing to have an easy life, is don't; |;
but to the man who does not mind
the hardest kind of work, who will
not quit under early disappointments
and who wishes to have the most in
teresting sort of career, is, by all
means-'do.

aT Kits of sailors lost at sea are sold
regularly at auction at the Albert
Docks, in London. The sale provides
many a pitiful sight. Most Of the lots
are contained in the regular sailors
sea chest, all marked with the name
of the ship from which they come.
One sea chest which came up for auc-
ton recently was that of an unfortu-
nate Chinese cook, who was eaten by
cannibals. 1t is not unusual for those
who have lost friends or relatives at
sea to attend these auctions, and there
are times when the first news Of such
a loss comes through the recognition
Of familiar objects.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps us
Strono and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the back,
headache, nervousness. hot, dry skin.
rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders OF
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine. etc. But
IL you keep the filters right you Will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
