Prom time 20 time one hears discussions
and arguments as to what events or hap
psninzs or csiamaties may really be called
accidents The idea hss been advanced
that the cause of many or most Of the So
called accidents can be traced to neglect
or carelessness on tine part OF someone
having an investigation" after scores
have been killed or injured in railway
collision or by dsrsiiment makes one
think the "investization" should have
taken place so early that errors in shs
system OF signals or in the conditions Of
the rail- tracks. or possibly in the habits
OF men filing places Of responsibility,
might have been corrected or avoided
then no post mortem Investigation would
have been called for.
Did you ever remove from the sidewalk
an Grange or banana peel someone had
earegesziy thrown down. Didyou ever stop
10 throw out Of the travelled highway a
particularly small round stone which on a
down-hili grade would be bad thing for
horse to step on? Did you ever pick up
and remove piece Of paper, to avoid an
accident, on the road If some horse
should ind il whiried beneath his feet
or floating in front of him, by gust OF
windg hope you will ''investigate" this
question OF accidents. Minor ones fire.
qnently occur; what caused thems
In connection with these thoughts there
is an article IN the american Magasiae
for September which shows the practical
working Of this theory. f. r. Schneider
is manager OF an interurban trolley line
on the Cleveland, Southwestern and
Columbus railway. On Memorial day,
1907, a trolley car was wrecked at klyris,
Ohio; eight passengers were killed and
many lost their limbs or were otherwise
injured.
Mr.. Schneider went there. He is a
human being. He could not get away
from the question: "why did that aeci-
dent happen?1 Why does any accident
happen? lie did some earnest thinking,
looked up statistics, and found that only
two per cent. Of all railroad accidents are
ehargeAble to Gods will, thirteen per
cent. TO negligence OF the public, and
eighty-fiye per cent; to negligence OF en-
pioyses.
He called the trsinmen together on each
division and talked to them - the first
speech ne ever made in his life, and be has
doae tie same thing every sixty days
since. He says: "Rsilroaders are manly,
big hearted lot, and II you make them see
these things, give them little different
education from the kind had you can get
them" And he surely gets them. Sixty
five per cent Of the.men who were with
him five years ago are with him YET
Then his accident account was 6.35 of the
roads gross receipts; for the past two
years it was LBS. This is what taking
care and precaution has done.
Here Is something more. In Wooster
and other towns school building was
near the line, ana several children at
different times had been killed when
playing games near the track. Mr..
Schneider started out again and made q
speech to every class In every school along
his line. He talked to $1,000 children,
telling them just what they must do to be
esrsfaI. Whenever a motor-man reports
that the children Of such and such q
school are getting careless, Schneider is
