COLLEGE-MADE RAILROAD MEN.
New Departure Proposed by Univer.
atty OF Illinois.

New Departure Proposed by Univer-
sity Of Illinois.
Leading railroad executives have pledged
their strongest cooperation TO the Uni
versity Of Illinois in its school OF railroad
ing and the legislature will be asked for
an appropriation to help on with this work
Practical railroad officials have pro-
nounced the scheme entirely feasible and
will do their part TO promote Il. They be-
lieve that efficiency in railroad work may
be vastly promoted through college In
struction and that such departments In
our great institutions OF learning will mean
much for the future OF railroading, both as
to efficient and safe operation.
It Is befitting that Illinois should take
the lead In this new system Of education,
for II leads all the states in mileage OF
railroad, and II is likewise befittlng that
this country, which leads all others simi-
larly, should lead the world In this branch
Of science, as the Illinois university pro-
poses It shall do One-fourth OF the peo-
pie Of Illinois are directly or indirectly de-
pendent for their livelihood on railroad
ing, and as Tor the the nation It Is the
leading single industry
Gradually our colleges and universities
are broadening their scope OF instruction
1t Is due to the ever-broadening spirit OF
the times and q good indication that we
are proceeding toward a point of the most
practical system OF education. A few years
ago It would have been thought absurd to
suggest that young men would be trained
for inside and outside railroad work in
any college or university, and yet why
shouldn't they be? 1t is lifting labor to a
higher level and Identifying It in the eyes
and estimation of the young. This is cal
culated to help in more ways than can be
counted.

police station. Ledyear was taken to the
station and Police Surgeons Harris and
Bishop removed the bullet, which was Of
22-caliber and had only penetrated a few
inches beneath the skin.
According to the story told by the boys.
the mans wrath was unwarranted and
his suspicious unfounded. The boys say
that they were standing upon the back
platform laughing and joking between
themselves and paying no particular at

inside. The couple got up and waited upon
the platform for a few minutes before the
car came to their stopping place The girl
