Railroad financial managements should
Incorporate an educational scheme as
definite part of their policy on the ground
OF business prudence, Such policies should
be lnaugurated for periods Of not less than
five years, preferably ten, otherwise thu
money appropriated will be~larEely wasted
Railroads should extend the prlnclpleG
Of definite apprenticeship to every depart
nnent OF the service, and should provide
for two or more grades of apprentices In
order to take account Of differences In
capacity and work done elsewhere, either
In properly accredited schools or by ex-
perience, and leading to different grader
of service.
There should be formal provision fol
movement among departments under proper
conditions and the comfy OF railroads
should be so far extended as to formaIl
provide for some interchange OF official
under special restrictions.
I'm executing the policy Of education
announced by the directors, there shoult
be a superintendent Of education reporting
directly to higher official such superin-
tendent to be Thoroughly informed OF the
educational policy of the railroad and the
broad considerations on which 1t rests. His
department should systematically recruit
the employees throughout the service and
certify, on request, to their records and
general efficiency in the early stages Of
promotion.
Efficiency should be recognized by an
Efficiency wage, stated distinctly apart
from the seniority wage.
''Employes should be encouraged to take
outside courses OF Instruction or expert
enee without forfeiting their tenure. and.
60 far as possible, the educational depart
ment should systematically turn to account
every outside educational agency by sug-
gesting courses uniting in cooperative
courses and recognizing the work done In
those courses, to the end that theory and
practice bo Joined,
The educational opportunities Of the
service should be utilized to the utmost
by encoura cement of perfect freedom of
study and criticism ana interchange Of
ideas concerning accidents, bad work and
all the details OF practice. Annual or

classes Of work and the preparation and

TRAINING RAILROAD MEN
Time Approaching When Drudgery
Will Be Taken Away.
MONOGRAPH BY Us. EATON
Two Million Men Are Employed I'm
the United States and Work
Demands the Highest
Efficiency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-"The time will
come when railroad employ for every man
in the service will not mean drudgery, nor
slnecure, nor accidental opportunity, but
an enlightened, stimulating highly ef-
ficient service Of highest earning power
least uncertainty from accidental causes
largest freedom for individual initiative
entire self-respect and thoroughly debuo-
cratic spirit"
With this prediction ]. Shirley Eaton,
former statistician of the Dehigh Valley
railroad, concludes a lengthy monograph
for the United States bureau Of. education,
on Education for Efficiency in Railroad
Service" which Commissioner Elmer f.
Brown has submitted to the secretary OF
the interior In his letter of trensmlttal,
Commissioner Brown says the subject OF
educational preparation for definite occu4
pations in life, ana particularly for the
several trades, is under serious considera-
tion In the United States. The relation of
trade education to general education Is one
Of the important aspects of that question.
This relation was summed up by President
Nicholas Murray Butler OF Columbia hIni-
versity in saying: What science and prac-
tical life alike need is not narrow men, but
SFoad men sharpened to the point"
THE advance made in the present de-
cade in the subject of education for rail-
road service is very surprising to those who
may not be informed" says Mr. Eaton.
ideas of practical men on the subject are
now less indefinite and conflicting. The re-
lation between education and efficiency in
railroad service is coming to be generally
conceded. The large educational value OF
the railroad service itself is being turned
to Systematic practical account and the
value of educational agencies in preparing
for specific Industrial efficiency is better
understood.
Two Million Men.
'"The railroad service in the United States
will shortly reach a total Jf 100000 men
1t is the largest and most highly organized
example of associate effort in an epoch
cor rpicuous for Industrial and commercial
concentration. Education in a broad sense
must always be large factor.
'In the course of railroad development
there was first era, which was the ere
of railroad building There was next ar
era of coordination Of the railroad service
and finance to the commercial and flnan-
cial conditions as a whole with which the
railroads were called upon TO deal
Next came the era of internal adjust
ment on the physical and mechanical side

grades, Strengthening bridges increasing

efficiency and so In increasing the iEcorne.
THE most practical and efficient railroad
manager today is now squarely up against
the problem which he Is attacking In one
form or another. OF education, OF himself,
his staff, the individuals In the rank and
file, and the rank and file as a whole,
This Is the last and highest and most
comprehensive stage OF the function OF ada
ministration, 1t implies, for instance. an
eager, resourceful self-respectnR lndivid-
ualism throughout the working force, ubs
ordinated with keen\ appreciation OF the
social character of the work, which exl
prerses Itself in loyalty not to a person
or local group, but to the income account
OF the railroad-nor yet to one income
account. but to the aggregate of the income
accounts of several years, These income
accounts, showing steady, healthy growth
over several years, become at the same
time the terms of largest service to the
community. the stockholdcr and the indi-
vidual employe.
"a note of warning may at this time
seem to be premature, but certain tend
enoies are already foreshedowed which
should not 60 unchecked. When the rail-
road manager comes fully to realize how
bis new found tool OF education enables
him to shape almost absolutely to his puf4
poses the working body, there may arise
the danger that railroad specialization IN
education be carried too far. so
''If the railroads, when they come very
generally to instruct their employees, turn
their back upon the professional teacher
severely divorcing their work In subjeet
matter-and in method form and at the
same time substituting It for the work of
the regular established educational agencies
Of the grammar school and high schobl
grades, the result can only be what the
psychologist calls arrested development
for the learner.
Railroads as q whole through a rep
resentative body such as the American
Railway association, should In a oompre-
hensive way take up the matter OF the
education Of railroad employees. As they
now have committees devoted to standards
of construction, maintenance and operating
practice they should also have a standing
committee of a character to command con.
fldence. who should sedulously foster a
closer relation between the railroad and
educational agencies
Mr.. Eaton draws these conclusions:
