TO STOP TREsPAssING
Reduction of ss1 In Number Killed ON
Railroad in Three Years

Determination to put a stop to
trespassing ON Pennsylvania Railroad
property has caused General Mana
ger S. G. Long of the lines east of
Pittsburgh to address to the MEM
! bers of his staff letter character
lied to redouble their efforts to keep
people off railroad property.
In 1907, when 916 people were kill
ed while trespassing on Pennsylvania
Railroad property, the management
of that Company inaugurated CAM
paign to educate the public in the
dangers of trespassing. The co-opera-
tion of city and county authorities
was invited, and wide publicity was
given to the efforts the Company was
making to put an end to this evil
which was annually costing so many
people their lives. AS result of the
efforts of its officers and employees, a
reduction of 173, or more than Is per
cent. in the number of trespassers
killed on the Pennsylvania Railroad
in 1908 was effected. The Railroads s
activities in this direction were re-
doubled in 1909 and again was the
death roll from tresspassing reduced
" Oco VI elOOut IL pCi NChL. ACl z
was reduction of SO per cent. in
four years. The records for 1910
show that 585 deaths resulted from
trespassing on Pennsylvania Railroad
property.
Having succeeded in decreasing the
practice of lrespassing on its lines,
the Pennsylvania system is now pre-
pairing to conduct an even more ag-
gressiye campaign during 1912.
Tracks will be re-posted with warn
ing notices, the enactment of strin-
gent laws will be requested and ev-
cry officer and employe of the Sys-
TEN vii be asked to lend his assist
ance to decrease still further the mum
ber of deaths resulting from trespass-
ing on the property of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system.
The renewed and diligent efforts
the Pennsylvania Railroad is making
to stop trespa ssing will be measur-
ably influential, the management be-
lieves, in arousing the public to a re-
alization that in accidents to trespass-
ers it is the individual who loses his
life than which there can be no great
er sacrifice.

FRAMING Scholars to Study.

A meeting of the Supervising Prin-
cipals and Principals Association OF
Gloucester County was held in the
office of the County Superintendent
on Friday afternoon.
Supervising Principal H. C. Dixon
of the Woodbury. Schools, gave an in
teresting paper on How to Train Pu-
pills to Study" The substance of the
paper was as follows:
Children are not taught to study
in our schools as they should be.
Classroom effort has been given too
exclusively in recitation to attempts
at testing the supposed knowledge OF
pupils, instead of showing them how
they should study to acquire it. This
is one of the leading faults of the
schools as at present conducted.
Teachers should know how to
study should be students themselves
They may become SO through their
own unaided efforts or may avail
themselves of the opportunities offer
ed in schools and colleges, but they
should know how to do the thing be-
fore they will be capable of teaching
the pupils how. The real teacher is
a guide to the child in his study. and
not merely a critic of his knowledge
on lack of it.
The reader spoke in favor of the
open book upon the pupils desk, and
indicated, somewhat in detail, how the
teacher by skillful question and sug-
gestion should lead him to grasp the
facts wanted; then to judge of the
value of the facts learned and state
ments made; and finally to see the
facts in one lesson as related to those
of other lessons and to the affairs Of
life A lively and interesting dis
cussion followed the reading of the
paper, in which all those present tool
an active part.
