Railroads Plan System Of Education for
Employees With View of Greater
Safety to Passen.
gers.

PHILADELPHIA, April 18th,
pennsylvania has instituted a new Mar
OF training men to maintain and oner.
ate its signals. The demand for create,
safety and facility in operation having
resulted In an extraordinary growth ir
the number of block signal installa-
lions by reason of the increasingly in
tricate nature of modern signal work
It was considered that special means
should be taken to equip men for this
branch Of effort.
The different divisions of the lines
east of Pittsburg have started signal
schools where experienced signalmen
give instructions to the division signal
employees in regard to the proper
operation and maintenance of the diff
ferent signal and interlocking appli
ances.
The Importance of this step is indi-
Gated By the fact that, whereas. in
l9O2. there were but 1891 interlocking
functions in operation on the lines
cast of Pittsburg. in 1903 this number
was 2O,725, having just about tripled
IN period of six years. These 20.725
functions are operated by 1892 levers.
A total of 12,40S signals are in SER
vice, covering 1885 miles of road. or
over 70 per cent Of the entire mileage.
All of it represents a valuation of up
ward of $5,000OOO.
10 train expert engineers, capable
of directing and planning signal in
stallations. the company has appointed
six special signal apprentices.
Apprentices will serve a three years
course. The first year will be spent
on the mechanical end of the work:
with the repair and construction
gangs; the second year in the office
of the supervisor of signals, and the
third year on outside work on electric
and electri-pneumatic appliances.
They will report to the supervisor of
signals, while taking this course.
The next place open to these men is
the position of assistant signal inspec-
tor in the signal engineers office.
After attaining this. they will be con-
sidered in line of appointment to- the
Following positions: Assistant SUPER
visor of. signals, supervisor of signals.
inspector. assistant signal engineer
and signal engineer.

DESPITE EFFORTS OF PAPERS OF
BOTH PARTIES, 1T HAS NOT
BEEN TAKEN OUT.
Senator AIdrich Says 1t Is All Right,
He Likes the Bill, Even if His
Daughter Did Marry
Rockefeller.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-(SpeciaD
The little Standard Oil joker is still in
the tariff bill It has remained in
spite of criticism of the public and
the leading newspapers of the coun-
try, Republican and democracy, and
despite several attempts of congress
men to have it sidetracked.
So far Senator Aldrich, chairman of
the finance committee and Trainer of
the new tariff bill perpetuating the
Standard Oil joker, has Withstood all
coaxing. He is perfectly frank. how
ever. He says he approves the joker,
which puts a 20 per cent duty on
about 200 oil products other than par
affin. Senator Aldrich denies that he
is protecting the profits of Standard
Oil through any particular friendliness
for the concern. He declares the fact
his daughter is married to the son or
John D. Rockefeller hasn't any infiu-
ence on him when he is acting in the
senate.
The Standard Oil joker, by placing
q 90 per cent ad valorem duty on oil
products, will mean additional profits
to Rockefeller that can not be de-
scribed in six figures. 1t will give the
Standard practically a monopoly in the
American market on vaseline, lubri-
eating oils, toilet articles. candles,
drugs of which petroleum extracts
form the base. and one hundred and
one other articles other than paraffin
which are produced from petroleum. 1t
happens that there is more than four
times as much profit in these manu-
featured articles as in Illuminating OIL,
that is. comparatively.
The Joker which will have the effect
of shutting out competition from for
eign countries on oil products is in
the senate bill under remarkable cir
cumstances.s
Just before the Payne bill left the
House, Chairman Payne of the ways
and means committee astonfshed every
body by introducing an amendment
providing for the placing of petroleum
crude and refined, and as the members
were led to believe, all the, products of
netroleum on the free list Inquiries
were made of Payne as to whether his
an,ednment included petroleum pro-
ducts. and he answered in the aff1rma-
tive. On this representation every
democrat supported the amendment.
After the bill was passed carrying
This amendment it developed that
through a joker all the products of pc.
troleum except parafin were protected

The Annapolis Appointment.

In an examination held at Clemson
college recently, for the purpose OF
selecting candidates for appointment
to Annapolis, there were just two can
didates present, to fill the two va
cancies. Notice Of the examination
had been sent to every paper IN the
district, and as far as [ recall, had
been published in all Of them.
The apparent Indifference of the
young men Of this district toward this
the best opportunity for free eduea-
ton that this country affords, and
the failure to make good by so many
Of my appointees, lead me to think
that there must be something wrong
with our educational system.
Cn former occasions, [ have held
trial examinations for West Point,
and Annapolis. in large towns. that
were easily accessible from all parts OF
the district. In some Of these eNamln-
,ations, there were so few candidates,
and the general average OF scholar
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-03-02

ship was 50 poor, that I could scarce
ly make up my appointments from the
lists. The result Of this low average
: Of scholarship has been, that my ap-
pointees could not, in many instances,
pass the entrance examination at the
government institutions, nd hence
this district, more than half the time,
is without it's full representation in
tha schools.
1t occurred to me, that if would
hold these trial examinations at the
three male colleges located in the dis
trict, each in succession, that the To-
cal applications would swell the num-
bers as we'll as raise the average of
scholarship. Accordingly, I named
Clemson as the first place. The e1-
! animation was fixed on date, immed-
lately after college examinations clos
ed, 20 as not to conflict. Clemson ap-
plicants would not have incurred a
single dollar of expense nor the loss
Of single moment of time from their
college duties, and yet, not a Clemson
boy applied.
TO those who know anything Of
West Point and Annapolis, merely as
educational institutions, to recount to
them the advantages they offer is
waste of time. To the student who
has a military tendency, the advan-
tages afforded are simply incalculable.
The trouble then, is not in the gov
ernment institutions themselves.
On every hand parents are regret
ting their inability to send their boys
to college. In many instances where
boys have been entered in college,
they are maintained at great sac
rifice by the parent. There must be
many then to whom these appoint
ments would be most acceptable.
Why then are there so few apph-
cants?
There may be many reasons, but l
am driven to the conclusion that the
main obstacle is the lack Of thorough
education. This idea has been streng-
thened, too, by the fact that almost
without exception, my appolntees
have made low averages on the trial
examinations, and many Of them have
failed on the entrance examinations.
Thoroughness is one Of the first les
sons impressed on the West Point or
Annapolis cadet. Thorough prepara-
ton is necessary in order to enter and
continuous hard work is necessary in
order to stay there. Is it not posi-
bic then, that young men, who are
most conscious of defective scholar
ship. shrink from this test Of their
knowledge and endurance? | cannot
believe that Southern boys are infer
ior mentally to those of other Sec
tions of this country. do not believe
that they are less appreciatiVe OF the
advantages afforded. I must and do
believe, then, that there is a laxness
in our educational system, since
Northern. congressman do not seem to
meet with the same trouble.
Respectfully,

This observation on cause and

DR.. Cushman was asked to justify
this statement. ''It is, I think, justi-
