TESTING EYES AND EARS.
Rutland Railroad Has Biennial Examina-
ton of Employees

Rutland, Feb. 9.-The Rutland rail.
road has begun its biennial examination
of all employees who have to do with
the operation of trains to determine the
condition of their eyes and ears and
ability to distinguish between the prima-
ry colors. A car fitted up with para
phernalia for this purpose is stationed
in the local railroad yard near the de-
pot, and the entire work is in charge
of Lowell ID. Kenney. The tests are
of benefit to the men as well as the
road. When slight defects are found.
men are examined more often than ev-
cry two years, and when serious diff
eulties are discovered the person affected
is sent TO a specialist.
The car will remain in Rutland about
six weeks and viii then be sent over the
various branches OF the Rutland system.
Engineers, fremen, conductors, brake
men, baggagemen, station agents, switch
men and all others who do work of a
similar character are obliged to present
themselves for examination.
Yarn of various colors is used to
determine whether or not an employee is
color blind. Each color is represented
in number OF shades. and the eandi-
date is asked TO pick from bundle of
worsted 10 shades of green, five Of red,
etc
To test his powers Of vision, he is
obliged to read rows Of letters at vari-
Gus ranges. The examiner also uses
lenses to ascertain whether or not the
person examined should consult an ocu-
list.
A novel apparatus made abroad is
utilized to test the ability Of an employee
20 see at a distance and to determine
colors accurately at q distance. He is
taken into a dark compartment and is
shown miniatures of switchiights OF diff
ferent colors a. they appear TO the OBJ
server when one-quarteT, one-half and
three-quarteTs Of a mile away, under dif-
ferent atmospheric conditions.

QUINCY GRANITE MEN
Make Move to Federate Association with
Board of Trade.

Make Move to Federate Association with
Board of Trade.
Quincy, Mass, Feb "A largely at
tended meeting of the Granite Manu-
facturers' association of Quincy was held
Monday evening Aside from the regu-
lar routine business, and "shop talk
the association discussed for an hour OF
more the development of the water front
of Quincy, and federation OF the bus
mess mems association of the city.
The discussion was precipitated on a
motion Of John L. Miller, who moved
that the president and secretary of the
Granite Manufacturers association APP
ply to the board Of trade for member
ship in that organization for all the
granite firms and that the treasurer be
authorized to pay from the treasury the
dues In the board of trade.
Mr.. Miller explained the need of more
concerted action on the part of the bus
mess men of the city that improvements
might be secured--better facilities for
transportation, reduction Of the cost,
etc, etc.
Some Of the members thought Mr..
Miller had proposed radical measure,
and were inclined TO criticise the board
of trade for its short comings.
Mr. Miller defended the board OF
trade, and asked thu. granite manufac-
turers what they had ever done as an
association for the advancement OF
Quincy. The board Of trade has but q
small membership, ii is limited in funds,
and experiences difficulty in meeting cur
rent expenses for maintenance OF rooms,
telephone, printing clerk, etc. Ii needs
permanent secretary at a good salary.
As an association we should not ex-
pect much from the board of trade I'M
less we are willing to help, The board
of trade is active on the abolition Of
grade crossings, better freight facilities,
the development Of the water front, bet.
ter train service, better street railway
service, reduction of rates for gas and
electricity and many other improve
ments The Granite Manufacturers as
ISOLATION has been selfish and worked
only for itself, and has given the board
of trade little encouragement.
President Murray, James Joss, Thorn
as Bishop and others favored develop
ment Of the water front.
Mr. MiIler's motion to apply for mem
bership for all manufacturers did not
prevail. but il was voted that Presi-
dent Murray and Secretary Dunphy be
a committee to confer with the board
of trade, Merchants association and
other organizations relative to fedora
ton, particularly to secure united ac-
ton on development Of water front and
the establishment Of municipal dock

During the Past Year Was S52,o6s.29
Plans for This Year.

Plans for This Year.
Rutland, Feb. 9.--In his annual re-
port Arthur Lyman, president Of the
board Of education, states that the gross
receipts for the support of the public
schools in this city during the past
year have been $50 ,239.33. OF this
amount S43,742.ll was realized from city
taxes, S6,0703s from the state, and the
remainder, S2,426.S4 from buttons and
other sources. The total expenditures
were $52,06s.29. OF this amount SAL
209.lS was paid for salaries, S5,270.25
for text books and supplies, 81 $4,000
for repairs, 50 ,36079 for fuel, and ST.,
09S.SS for sundries. The unexpended
balance to the credit of the school board
December 81, 1910, was Sl7l04.
With larger school receipts for 1911,
resulting from the increase in the city's
valuation and from greater contributions
from the state, it now seems possible
to open up one or more new school
rooms in September and to extend the
work in new departments; but to carry
out these plans it will be necessary to
provide additional accommodate tons, either
at the Pine or Church street buildings
or at both, where the congestion in
school enrolment is greatest, and to
ut up work shop for manual train
ing.
