4 THEORY TLLTSTR 4TED.

A short time ago it was reported that the Inter
borough company pnrposed to establish a school
through which trained men for the executive
offices Of the company might he secured The
plan outlined was TO bring young men from
the technical schools, offer them salaries sutti-
cient to enable them to meet their living
penses and give them experience In every
branch of the work. One great difficulty here
tofOre has been that men with technical train
ing had too little knowledge of the practical side
Of the street railway business. while the men
who begin at the bottom 10 work up are not
those most likely TO possess the capacity 70
handle large affairs efficiently Under the new
plan men Of the right sort will be taken from
the schools and put in places where they can
master the details of the business Just as any
other man beginning at the bottom would do.
With the knowledge that they expected to
fit themselves for promotion, they will have
every incentive TO make their practical knowl-
edge thorough. AS a consequence, there is rea-
son TO hope that II will eventually oe more COM
mon to find In the offices of a street railway
company men who competent to conduct

AN ARISE TO BE CORRECTED


Following the sensational criticism by Dr.
MacNicholl of the pupils in the public schools
of New York come reports from other cities
which would indicate that however much at
fault this metropolis may be she is not alone
in her SHINING As we have already said, maxi
ing all due allowance for the ignorance and stu
pdity Of a certain portion of the population Of
such community as New York, il is difficult
10 believe that any proof can he furnished in
substantiation of the statement that 5S per
cent of the pupils in our public schools drink
some form of alcoholic beverage either occa-
sionay or al regular intervals.
BE this II may, the agitation now apparent
~ under way may result in some good re-
port from Bayonne indicates that the medical
inspector Of the public schools has found that
n number of the pupils are addicted To tho use
Of beer, and cites the case Of one principal who
questioned q sleepy boy and girl as TO their
habits. and finding that they had beer for
luncheon every day sent Il request to the par
ents that this be discontinued The parents
complied. and the Improvement in the children
was immediate and marked. A speaker before
the Illinois Congress Of Mothers warned her
hearers against the practice Of permitting chill
dren TO have beer. and made a statement which,
like that Of DR.. MacNicholl. is doubtless exag-
gerated but partly true, that "the majority
'of deaths among the city infants under one
year Of age was due TO feeding them with
sausage and beer" Neither of these articles of
common diet would be injurious to n grown
person in moderation, but it would be difficult
10 imhgine anything better calculated to de-
stroy the lives of infants or render them unfit
for the active duties of after life
