CONDUCTOR SMITH
MAY Be RE|NSTATED
Petition i'm Favor of NJ. & o.
Employe Widely Circu-
lated in Montgomery

Montgomery, January 1S.-tspecial)-A
petition for the reinstatement of Capt.
Jack Smith as a passenger conductor on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company
was circulated at the capitol today. Cap
tain Smith was recently exonorated OF
the charge of having been connected with
the murder of Inspector \. MeGil. on a
Mobile and Ohio passenger train several
weeks ago. Captain Smiths arrest fol-
lowed a statement of Napoleon Jones, a
negro porter on the train. who declared
that the railway conductor had been con-
nected with the crime.
The matter was investigated by the
Tuscaloosa county grand jury, and Cap
tain Smith was released, the negro having
been remanded to jail to await his trial
The petition for Captain Smiths re-
instatemept was signed by practically
every one at the capitol, including most
of the department heads. The Mobile
and Ohio conductor is popular in Mont
gomery, where he resides, and his friends
hope to see him reinstated in his former
position.
1t is understood that the railroad com
pany will take mo action in the matter
until the charges against Captain Smith
are further investigated.

DR.. PHILLIPS GIVES
DETA|LSOF PLAN TO
ASSIST POOR BOYS
"Team Plan in High School
Was Basis for Complaint
Recently Made
PARENTS SELECT
BOYS EMPLOYERS
Two Boys Agree to Attend School on
Alternate Days and to Work
for Same Employer on
Alternate Days

.Our one and only idea in the whole
matter is to assist the poor boy to secure
an education who otherwise would be
work. said DR.. J. H. Phillips last night
when asked to make a statement in re-
gard to the complaint recently made to
him by delegation from the Machinists'
union to the effect that high school boys
working in the Illinois Central shops In
accordance with the high school team
plan were doing so in violation of the
rules of the union.
At the request of The Age-Herald DIR.
Phillips prepared a statement last night
giving all the details of the situation,
what was involved, what his plan is
and how lie hopes to work 1t out. His
formal statement follows:
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
II take pleasure. in compliance with
your request. in making a brief state
ment regarding the cause of complaint
made against the schools by the Maehin-
lists union.
I'VE have found that a large number
of poor boys, after completing the work
of the elementary schools, at the age
of IA to is, are unable to attend the
high schools because of the necessity
to go to work. This involves the nedes-
sity of sacrificing their high school edu-
cation in order that they may earn a
living or learn trade For the pur-
pose Of helping this class of boys it was
decided to try an experiment that has
been found successful in Cincinnati, De-
troit, Boston and number of cities in
the north and east.
This plan is commonly known as the
cooperation or half-time method. Two
boys agree to form unit; with the con-
sent of their parents they elect the yo-
cation they wish to follow and elect the
employer with whom they can make the
most satisfactory arrangement If the
employer is willing to take the two boys
upon the condition that they work and
go to school on alternate days, the school
has no just reason for excluding them,
whether they attend every other day,
every other week or every other month.
I'm other words, the doors of the school
are open to these boys for such time as
they may be able to attend The school
has no right to select a vocation for
the boy, neither has it a right to choose
his employer or the place in which he
shall work. This duty rightly devolves
upon the boy and his parents. The school
simply says to the boy: If you must
work, we will permit you to attend school
every other day rather than compel you
to sacrifice your education. Select q
mate who will alternate with you in
school and work, and we shall see what
the outcome will be.
1.-The advantage of this plan is obvious:
at the close of the day the school boy
visits his chum at his work. and out
lines for him the school work for the
next day. and in return receives from
him an outline of tile work mapped out
for the next day in the shop or place
of business.
Naturally, the questions that will arise
In this conversation are. first, can each
boy attending school half time do salts

factory school work? and. secondly, will
the employer be satisfied TO have two
boys working on alternate days doing the
work of one boy working consecutively ?
las the result of experience in other
cities, the school answers in the affirma-
tive. The boy who has the determination
to enter upon this plan will succeed any
where, if given the chance. The second
question must be answered by the en-
ployer, according to the nature of the
business
"A few weeks ago. when this plan was
first explained, a number of boys in the
Central High school applied for an op-
portunity to enter upon this plan. because
they felt that it was necessary for them
either to stop school or to follow some
plan of this kind. Several firms of archi-
tects, dry goods merchants, electric COM
panies and employers of labor in other
lines of business were quoted as being
willing to take upon this plan boys who
could not otherwise continue in school.
The boys, however. were persuaded to de-
fer the matter until the beginning OF
the new semester, about February 1.
I'm the Ensley High school, however,
two boys were permitted to enter upon
this plan; they found work In the 1lli-
nois Central shops near East Thomas.
One of these boys has since stopped work
between school and shop, and his teacher
reports his school work as entirely sat
isfactory.
80. at this time, there Is only one
boy in the entire city following this plan,
and the school authorities have not felt
justified in closing the doors of the school
against him.
Il have tried to explain fully the at
tltude of the schools in this matter.
am sure that the complaint is based upon
a misapprehension of the purpose of the
school authorities. Not only is there no
antagonism to the aims and purposes of
our labor organizations, but an earnest
desire for their cooperation in enabling
the poor boys of our city to enjoy the
privilege of attending school and at the
same tims to enjoy the right to engage
in some temunerative work, whereby
they may earn a living and defray In
part the expense of their schooling Il
must be remembered however that the
school must not presume to select the
boys vocation, much less to select his
employer or his place of work That is
recognized strictly as a parental func-
tion. All that the school can do or ought
to do in the premises is to open its doors
to any earnest boy who seeks the oppor-
tunity for an education. Respectfully,
y. II. PHILLIPS"
