questioned closely by shop and school
instructors as to his mental Quahfica-
tions and talent for the trade he de-
sires to learn. After being admitted
as an apprentice he is given six months
to make good" or prove his fitness.
The shop instructors are all practical
mechanics, chosen carefully and able
to give instruction and to perform
each detail operation in their depart
mentS If it is a machine operation
the apprentice is shown how the work
is held in place in the machine, how
the cutting tools are sharpened and
set in correct position, and how the
machine is operated. He is shown how
each detail of his work is best per-
formed and told why it should be per-
formed in that particular way.
Given a Chance to Attend School.
Every applicant for apprenticeship
is supposed to have a common school
education, but to encourage him in
desire for additional knowledge to
broaden his mind and enable him the
more easily to master his trade, schools
of instruction have been established at
all the principal shops and division
points, and in addition to their shop
training the boys attend school four
hours each week. This may seem a
very meager length of time to allow for
school room instruction, but as this
time is devoted to the requirement of
the technical knowledge applicable to
their trades, four hours a week of
careful attention to study have been
found to be sufficient to obtain good
results. School room instruction is
given in railroad mechanical and free
hand drawing and shop mathematics
The boys are taught the correct name
, and function of each part of locomo-
tives, passenger and freight cars, how
it is made, it's shape or form. In this
way they soon learn the uses of metals

PEABODY TELLS EXPERIENCES

1t is a we'll known story along the
lines of the Santa Fe railway-the tale
of the origin of the apprentice schools
and instruction. Every Santa Fe man
is acquainted with the story of how
John Purcell, then master mechanic
in the shops, organized a little school
of young men and paid the instructor
from his own pocket. The instructor
taught these boys the preliminary de-
tails of the shop mechanics. 1t was a
success-then a larger school under
the Jurisdiction of the railroad proper
and finally a complete apprentice sys-
tenn over the entire railway and
nucleus of appretice instruction
throughout the United States.
All these psalms of the palmy past
have been sung in variations over the
lines of the Santa Fe. 1t remains now
for a graduate of the school, man
who has been through the Purcell
bearing on the marvellous success of
this new form of molding men for ex-
pert trained shopmen on the Santa
Fe.
Reuben T. Peabody, an assistant to
shop Superintendent NJ. ]. Drury in
Topeka, has written an article for the
Railway Age Gazette dealing with the
inside machinery of the Santa Fe ap-
prentice system. Peabody came to To-
to enter the school. He had faith in
the plan-and he came all the way
from Chicago to test it. He gradua-
ted. firm believer in the Santa Fes
method of teaching the young, and
now offers the world the benefit of his
experience.

After examining the rings carefully
and finding them slightly defective, the
shop Superintendent questioned the
foreman and also the boy, and founo
that while both of them thought the
rings were good enough, a bench hand
who fitted them in the piston heao
was expected to square them up with
a file, which took considerable time
and should have been unnecessary.
The lathe was equipped with proper
chucks, tools and jigs, but the finished
packing rings were not always faced
square and sometimes were a little
rough, because the apprentice boy did
not know how to sharpen his tools pro-
perly. If he had been shown how to
do this, he could have done more work
and the rings would have have required
only a slight touching up with a file,
thus saving several hours time each
month and making the boy a better
workman.
Boy Is Watched From First Hour.
The Santa Fe has developed a sys-
tenn of apprentice instruction by which
every movement of the boy is directed
from the first hour he is in the shop,
and, under able shop instructors he re-
ceives the help he needs from the be-
ginning of his first days work, con-
tinuing each day until he has finish
ed his course.
Applicants for apprenticeship must
pass a physical examination; be be-
tween 16 and % years of age, except
in cases of special apprenticeship, when
there is no maximum age limit; and
preference is given to sons of en-
ployees. In addition to the physical
examination a boy is examined and

esting features of the railway school,
written by Mr.. Peabody:

Railways Problem Years Ago.
A few years ago the problem of
where to get trained and able men for
shops and factories had become a
serious matter among mechanical men;
every effort was made to obtain them
but few were available. Because of
this condition existing in it's lines, the
Santa Fe established apprentice
schools, first at the larger shops and
then at the division points. In the be-
ginning, these schools We're expert
mental and in some respects crude,
but the difficulties We're overcome rap
idly and the officers became convinced
that they were solving the problem.
Under the old apprentice system a
boy was taken into the shop, given a
few tools and put to work by a busy
foreman, who had no time to instruct
him or to pay attention to his welfare.
The boy was left largely to his own
resources. Frequently some of the
nen in the shop ridiculed him and took
pains to make his work hard and to
enjoy his mistakes. If he did not be-
come discouraged and quit. when he
had finished his four years course he
had learned what he had been able to
observe, what the men had shown
him, and what little his foreman had
told him.
For example: an apprentice boy,
turning and facing packing rings for
air pump pistons, was turning out
large number each day and thought
he was doing good work One of the
mechanical officers incidentally exam
ined the rings and found them defec-
tive. He surprised the boy one morn
ing, by asking him to accompany him
with the foreman to the shop superin-
tendentS office, and to bring with him
a few of the finished packing rings

of the details of the special agents
work reads:
When wreck or other accident oc-
ours the special agent usually is either
first on the scene or arrives with the
wreck train. He helps to care for the
injured. To him is turned over the
personal property belonging to those
who have been manned or killed. He
is on guard, also, to see that the prop
erty of the passengers and the COM
pany is not damaged or stolen by the
crowds that flock to the scene.
The special agent travels over the
line day after day to protect the trav-
cling public from the depredations of
card-sharps, pickpockets, and confi-
the highest order. That the great rail-
roads of America are so free from
these swindlers is due to the incessant
vigilance of these obscure employees.
The man who is first called to protect
the railways property and the lives of
its men in the event OF riot or other
disorder is the special agent. Many
agents have sacrificed their lives in
doing their duty.
Chasing Desperadoes.
If a train has been robbed by hold
up men, or If it has been wrecked by
them for the same purpose, as happens
now and then, the special agent buck
les on his gun, mounts horse, ana
plunges into an unknown country in
pursuit of the desperadoes. He does
does not delay until he has a compan-
ion by his side-he rides alone, If nee
essary, and follows the trail unmindful
of ambush or of a battle single handed
with a dozen desperate men.
Less spectacular, but no less dam
gerous, is the special agents work In
guarding the company's property
against the car thieves who prowl by
night in the yards of the great freight
terminals. They are towards, but
when cornered or caught, they will
exchange shot for shot in trying to es-
cape.
Still another class is the person who
has what alienists call "a homicidal
tendency' Such a man apparently
may be a good citizen at home or in
contact with his fellows, but for one
reason or another he may steal away,
place an obstruction on the track, and
wreck a train. Some of these men do
this only because of morbid desire &c
witness the disaster.

The general travelling public hears
little and knows less of the railway
special agent than any other official or
set of employees of the railroad of to-
day. On the other hand the patrons
of passenger trains probably are under
more direct charge and safety of the
special agent than of any other toiler
