INJURIES TO TRESPASSERS
ON RAILROAD PROPERTY
A Condition Of Vital Interest to
Parents.

people killed on the railroads of
this country last year were tres
passers-men women and children
who had no business or right on
railroad property.
Every day last year fourteen
trespasssers were killed over 5000
during the year, an appalling
truth. Contrary to q common su-
spicion, only 10 percent of this
number were tramps or hoboes:
20 percent were reputable people
who used railroad property as
thoroughfare, and in spite of
warnings given them not to do
SO, and 20 percent were children
under IA years Of age.
Commenting on this, Mr.. How
ard Superintendent of the c. B.
q O. r. r. at Burlington Iowa,
recently published an open letter
to parents, in which he said:
Today, somewhere in this
country, two or three little chill
dren have been killed playing
around tracks and cars. So it was
yesterday, so it will be tomorrow,
and SO it averages, day in and
day out, through all the year.
The railroads and their emplo-
es are not callous to the sorrow
caused in this way; on the con-
trary, they are doing all they can
to avoid these, the saddest of all
accidents. There is not a train
man or switchman in our yards
who has not time and again ad-
monished children against the
danger of Tipping" cars, not
one who does not dread the ever
present possibility of. having to
lift some broken body from under
the car wheels. All that we rail
road men can do about it, how
ever. is very little: children con-
tinue to come every day to our
yards to play on the tracks, to
hop on the cars, too often to
meet with disaster, because it is
impossible for us to keep an eye
on every one Of them OF keep
them all away. It is bad enough
to run over grown-up trespassers,
but cannot something be done to
stop killing the children?
It seems to ne something can
be done. feel that the parents
of this country should be frankly
told about the situation and their
interest appealed to III the matter
of keeping children away from
railroad grounds, except when
they are legit,nately called there.
] regret that now and then
some people get al erroneous un-
derstanding that children are
driven away from the tracks be
cause they might pick UP few
chunks of scattered coal or q few
bits of kindling; but | do not
think that idea is general. We
to save our coal. but much more
do we want to save the boys and
girls from mutilation and death
and to save the parents from sor-
row. For this purpose | hope we
may obtain the cooperation of
parents everywhere. Unless we
get this. and especially unless
parents do their duty in this inn
portant matter, other boys and
girls will pay the price of their
parents neglect.
This is not an appeal on the
mere fact that the laws should be
enforced. 1t is true that the law
against trespassing should be up
held, but there should be public
sentiment against trespassing by
children stronger then any law.
Are the legs and arms, and even
the lives of little children too
high a price to be paid for what
fun there may be in playing on
| the tracks or jumping on and off

people who want their children

COUNTRY HIGH SCHOOLS
The New Idea Gaining
Ground-CoSt and Some
Advantages

Since the consolidation of the
Boomer, Forker and Frakes
school districts, the first named
being in Charlton county, and
the establishment of a high
school, the country districts have
become thoroughly interested in
the venture as there are many
districts which find it hard to
give their pupils the advantage
Of high school work after they
have finished their eighth grade
work.
The district recently formed
will use an old church building
for the school at present but
when they get ready to build,
they find that the state will pay
for a fourth of the building. If
the new school would cost $4,000
the state would contribute $500,
making the net cost to the dis
trict, $500, or $500 for each
school district. This is not
heavy. Then, the maintenance
of the high school, it is thought
will not be more than $1,000 pei
year. Of this, the state con
tributes per annum, the sum o.
$25 per square mile, this con
solidated district containing Il
square miles. This gives a con
tribution from the state of $3.50
leaving $3.50 for three districts tt
contribute, an average of $l81
per annum per district.
The above showing would pro
vide for the building of tn,
school house, a $4,000 structure
and the annual maintenance O.
said school at a first cost pc
district, of $500 for the building
and not more than 5000, ap
proximately, per annum, allow
ing for interest on investment il
building, etc. per district.
Against this is the cost o
maintaining the Is childre
ready for high school work i
this consolidated district in hig
school. To maintain them in
town or city high school, it
estimated it will cost $500 pc
annum, these figures by a ma
familiar with school work
Averaging 8 children to eac
school district, the cost would b
$2400 per year for high schoc
work, whereas under the cor
solidated system can be figure
from the cost of maintaining tn
the schools per annum, etc,
above. This will show a bi
saving of money to the scho,
district as this money is spent ;
home and the children are ;

iidence while gaining their hig
