stolen and put upon the market by

Charge of Petty Grating
BY Railroad Bosses.

The charge of w. S. Carter, presi-
dent Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen, that the
petty officials of railroad companies,
engage in systematic graft to an ex-
tent that more than doubles the in
come received for their services, in
some cases, should be the subject for
vigorous investigation.
Mr.. Carter made this statement in
connection with the arbitration pro-
ceedings now under way in Chicago
looking to a settlement of the Difficult
ties between railroad employees and
Iiinety- EIGHT western railroads While
Mr. Carriers charge was, in a measure
general. he specifically stated that L
was the practice of foremen in many
departments to sell positions at from
50 to SO, particularly TO the foreign
ers, then discharge them at the en-
Of month or two in order to make
room for others, hired under the same
conditions.
OF course, grating of this descrip-
ton is not counternamed by the rail-
road companies, and it is not alleged
that men higher up participated in the
profits of this trade. The trouble, it
seems, has been wholly with the petty
bosses, and the inference of Mr.. Carter
is that, on account of inferior labor
thus secBed, the expense Of operation
of the various lines has been immeas-
ureably increased. This in answer to /
the plea of the railroads that they |
have been making no money: that the !
hard times has affected them to such |
an extent that an increase in pay was |
an impossibility.
EGr. Carriers charge should be the |
subject Of an immediate inquiry, and |
no doubt he will be glad to assist
the railroads in ferreting out the men
who have engaged in this reprehen-
sible practice. The employees Of the
railroads prosper only when the rail-
roads are making money and of a
exists that is responsible for
heavy loss to the lines, the employees

Upon the opening of school the fall before it was finally improved. 1t was found that a cave-in of the bricks in one of the fire places had left a hole large enough for a COW to crawl through, one door could hardly be opened and the other was en- tirely off it's hinges and was held in place with props, the window panes were gone, the walls defaced and the equipment consisted of little except an old black board which stood in one corner of the room. What was worse, the schoolhouse remained in this condition through the four months term in spite of the inn |portuntites Qf the young woman teacher.
 There is but one right way to secure better conditions. That way is for the people of each community to improve their own school, to have so much pride. sense of duty and responsibility, and ap- preciation of adequate school plants that they will not be content to maintain a school of a poorer standard that the high est they can possibly establish: and they will have to give time, money, and indi- vidual and united effort to secure and keep a school of that kind.
 This principle of self help and com nsunity spirit has transformed more than

one school and, under the head of school improvement associations. it is becoming a factor in school progress.
 In McNIinn county, Tennessee, especial attention is being given to this feature of country schools. One department of the two weeks summer normal held in Athens, Tenn. last summer was classes in school improvement and school admin istration. These classes were in charge of Professor Haworth of the East Ten nessee State Normal and Superintendent Jarvis of the Jellico City schools. and they took the form of practical discus sions of country school problems. They included a series of lectures by MT. flaw orth on the Model One-Teaeher Country School" under the heads of Grounds ,'' Building Library" Course of Study and "The Teacher" It was MT. Haworth's s idea that these classes should be con- cluded with an actual demonstration of school improvement.
 With this in view, the Neil schoolhouse, located three miles from Athens, was se- lected as the scene of a days work. Early In the morning of July IT, the student body of the summer school, numbering 100 teachers and representing every school in McMnn county, together with Professor Haworth, MT. Jarvis. Superintendent Zeigler MT Middleton, principal of the McMinn County High school. and the county school directors, all went out to the school. They went on foot, in buggies

 bookless. pictureless shut in from ths sunshine. as bare and cheerless place as can be imagined. There two teachers work and some 50 or more children study. and how little there is to give them in spiration and to make their lives better and finer and broader. It is such a great pity that so many small schools can give only the dry course of study, instead of having with it the kind of environment and inspiration and influence that means far more than the mastery of any text
 books. It is doubly unfortunate when the pupils have no other chance to ac- quire these things except in the school, when their home life and community life offer no inspiration-and then the school. their one recourse, fails them.
 Alabama is not alone in having forlorn country schoolhouses. There comes a

Like many another quaint custom or crude institution. the bare little school house is more attractive in story than it is in real life. The light floors, through whose cracks the wind whistles in win ter, the unshaded windows that admit streams of scorching sunlight, the high wooden benches that leave weary little legs to dangle above the floor and tired little backs to move restlessly in vain search of comfortable position, all try the patience and the mental energy of the most earnest traveller along the royal road
 These little schoolhouses are not yet things of the past. One still finds them in use, often the most neglected, the least attractive places in communities that have improved in other ways, and some- times they are indicative of the spirit os of the limited means of the neighbor- hood.
 few miles from Birmingham is one set in a marshy looking place over grown with wild coleus. It was aban- doned snly last year for the new little schoolli5use that was built on the crest of a low hill where there are attractive

has increased the children's respect for their school. and it has made a mental impression that will last longer than will the little schoolhouse.
