OFFER MORE WORK
IN PRINTING CLASS
Instructors at High School
Take Up Color Jobs on
Presses.

To attain a higher degree Of effic-
iency in work by the printing depart
ment of the high school is the aim OF
Charles Towle, head of that depart
'ment The course offered will be more
varied than last year owing to the In
stallment of new equipment. This
will relieve a great deal of the conges-
ton caused from the lack of material.
The new job and body type which will
be used will also make possible heater
work Students or advanced standing
in printing will do color work.
The classes this term are larger
than those of last spring. All printed
material used in the public schools
and that used in the offices of the
superintendent is' prepared by the
printing class.
The "Cynosure," the school news
paper will be issued again this year
by a staff to be elected by the student
body the last of this week. On &C.
count of the smallness of the printing
press magazine will be published in
stead of a newspaper All the work
connected with the publication will be
done by the students, as it is the pur'
pose to make the work as practical as
possible and to utilize the printing
plant to it's fullest extent. 1t will be
carried on in strictly business way.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-09-16

A quarter Of century ago this week
the greatest curiosity of the time be-
gan to operate In Richmond. 1t was
the first electric street car line west
of the Alleghenies.
On September 10, 1889, the formal
opening of the street car lines was
held, but the cars started to make
trips few days earlier. There were
two street cars of the electric type in
operation, but these cause as much ex-
element as the subsequent appearance
of Hi Henry, minstrel. in the first au-
tomobile in Richmond, fourteen years
ago.
The city, which then had a popula.
ton of 1880, had had horse cars for
a number of years. The lines inter.
sected at Fifth and Main streets, one
line running down South Fifth street
and the other up Main street. AT
Twentieth and Main streets the east
line ended.
The horses did not turn around cor.
ners, but at the ends of lines turn
tables were provided. There was also
turntable at South Fifth and E
streets and at one or two other places
Buys Horse Line.
John T. Schaefer, who was then a
Richmond newspaper man, purchased
| the horse car lines and converted them
into electric lines. .Schaefer sold out a
short time later and operated the In
dianapolis lines, later the Asbury Park

IN. J.) lines. and later built traction
lines near Chicago.
Schaefer's announcement that he
would convert the lines into electric
street car lines, was greeted with
doubt by the residents, many of whom
preferred to take chances on the horse
cars. However, the lines were finally
completed twenty-five years ago, and
were running up and down Main
street.
1t was then considered an honor to
seat in the box-like affairs which
bobbed along the rough track. The
cars did not differ materially in ap-
pearance from the old horse cars, and
held Onl few passengers.
The formal opening drew almost the
city's entire population to Main street
The curbs were lined with residents.
Prominent men of the time were seat.
ed in the cars which slowly proceeded
up Main street the entire length of the
line, which extended to Twentieth
street. Later the men spoke at one
of the public buildings on the great
step of progress the city had made.
Old residents disagree on some
points regarding the opening of the
line. Some say it was the first line tC
be attempted west of Philadelphia
Others say that three or four other
| cities started lines at the same time

but Richmond completed the lines
Uss Electric Lights.

but Richmond completed the lines
first.
Use Electric Lights.
l. A. Gormon, a superintendent Of
the lines later, gets credit for the
idea of electrically lighting street cars.
Horse cars were lighted with oil
lamps. When electric cars were intro
duced the idea did not occur to the
traction men to use electric current
for lighting the cars.
Mr.. Gormon went to Chicago where
he purchased reflectors and other nee
essary apparatus to install electric
lights. He placed headlight on one
of the cars to try it out. 1t was sue
cessful and he equipped the other cars
similarly and placed lights inside the
cars.
This was regarded as an innovation
of great value. Before Mr.. Gormon
decided to patent his idea, all eastern
lines and the few which had then
started in the middle west, either
wrote or sent representatives here to
copy the idea. In two months almost
every electric car in use in the coun.
try was lighted by electricity.
At the time of the opening of the
electric lines the car center was on
South Seventh street where the Inter
national Harvester building now
stands. AS downtown space was in
demand the lines were extended to
Twenty-second and North E streets
and the barns were placed there. They
remained there until ten years age
when they were moved to West Rich
mOnd.
