NO USE IN RAILROAD WORK
uNLEe& THEY RETAIN
WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED
IN HIGH SCHOOL,.

Edward H. Harrima nwrites to
the Yale Daily News saying that
his advice to college men who are
looking for snap Is to steer clear
OF railroading. He thinks, however,
that a college education will no,
hurt young man who expects to
maize railroading hls l!.c work. Mr..
Hartman says:
"The question which you have
asked me. Is college education an
essential or c"cn valuable
preparation fur q rau who expects
to enter railroading" is a hard one
to answer, and my answer is both
yes and no. A collcge education
will be a great help IL IL man IN
going through college has kept the
foundations of high school learning
firmly fixed.
ION the other hand. il he has
neglected his handwriting and for
gotten his arithmetic 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 essen
tials Of good work in railroading
are at his fingers ends. For in
stance, take the making of a
simple statement. A statement
should be like picture. something
that can be taken In at a glance,
not tumble of letters and figures
that must be traced carefully out
and the meaning extracted from
the mass Of superfuous matter.
"A high school boy will draw
such statement with perfect ac-
curacy and clearness, while a
young college graduate will draw
1t i'm such way that it is a
puzzling scrawl
"Thus college education is in the
beginning real disadvantage, and
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 got back to
