BLOCK SYSTEM
is EFFECTIVE
Hartman Lines Garry 49,
491, 900 Persons in Safety

Installation of pafety devices and th,
block signal system are cited for the
record of the Hartman railroads in car
rying 49. 491 900 passengers in 1910 with
out sscIii cling single life.
The report was compiled in the Office
Of Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main.
tenance and operation, Chicago. 1t GOV.
ers the business of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and affiliated roads, a
total Of IL, 1850 miles. The total number
of passengers carried on a mile basis is
5000. 900, 900.
The Hartman system carried 10 per
cent of the estimated 1910 passenger
traffic. The figures tor most of the
9th sr rail Dads have not yet been com.
piled by the COVE -nment, bnt in 1909
the number of passengers carried was
$4,000, 900, 900. The figures for 1910, it
is said, will not exceed billion more.
Many other railroads have gone
through a year without a fatality to
any Of its passengers, but it is said that
no system has made this record for
such large total of passengers.
Results on the Hartman lines are
ascribed to campaign waged by the
management for years to reduce acci-
dents. The Hartman system now has
more miles of automatic block signal
protection than any other system in the
world. Mr.. Kru tschnitt has directed
special attention to the accident prob
lem, and began several years ago to
bring about 8 reduction by giving com
plete publicity to all forms of accidents
and their investigation, which, it is be-
lieved, spurred officers and employees to
greater efforts to safeguard lives.
In 1903-l904 the number of accidents
on the Union Pacific was 20 for I ZOO, 900
locomotive miles. On the Pacific system
Of the Southern Pacific the number of
accidents per 900 900 locomotive miles
was reduced from 29.5 to 1915 in the
same time.

School Notes.
By s. E. NoTsoN, Co. supt.

The blanks for the library orders have
been sent out. 1t is to be hoped that
the orders will be made up promptly in
accordance with the directions and re-
turned.
Much Misunderstanding seems to pre-
vail In regard to the new law governing
teachers certificates. The next exam
ination will be held in June instead of
August. County certificates are abol-
ished. Any person over eighteen years
old may take the examination, regard
less of the amount of training or exper-
ience. Applicants for the one year GER
ti6cste must MAKE an average of rs per
cent and not fall below so per cent in
any branch, and the subjects are the
same as for the second grade county
certificate except that physical geogra-
ply is included and physiology is drop
ped. For the FIVE year paper, an aver
age Of S5 per cent with nothing below 20
percent is required. In addition to the
subjects required for one year paper,
the applicant must pass upon physiol-
ogy, American literature, algebra, psy-
chology. and composition. Twelve
months teaching experience is required
for this paper. For life paper the re-
quirements are the same as under the
old law, except that geology and history
OF education are added subjects. A FIVE
wear primary certificate is also provided
:or. Those who have already written
upon the state examination under the
old law may complete it under the new
law at the June examination.
II the teacher who will have pupils
ready for the eight grade examination
in May will send in notice to that effect.
a blank form of certificate will be sent
them to fill out, in accordance vita the
new rules.
The reports in regard to the debating
work 10 many OF the schools are yerv
gratifying. The work is proving yalu-
able in nearly every school in which it
has been tried. A little time spent in
this work will bring excellent results.
aud the other work of the school will be
made better if live questions be discuss

Lying on the desert sand wastes. fif-

hunters, who reported the discovery TO
the sherift's Office.
The body when discovered was in
such an advanced stage OF decomposition

was established.

This was the last seen Of the man A
search that lasted for weeks was insti-

bits in the vicinity. They made report
TO the sheriffs office and Deputy Sheriff
Steele took Justice of the Peace and Act
Ing Coroner David Reid with him to the
scene.
The body was found lying in natural
position, apparently never having been
disturbed by wild animals or the ele-
ments. The natural process of decay had
eliminated all the usual marks OF lden-
tification, and only the clothes and ring
told the story of his name and residence

Deputy Steele recalled having taken
Berslund to Provo. and hazarded the
opinion that the body was that OF the
missing man. Investigation by Justice
Reid and the other officers bore out this
opinion, the description OF the clothing
and ring that Berglund wore at the time

The body was taken to S. D. EvansS
