A Compliment We'll Deserved

In the Southern School Journal for
May, we notice an appreciation of Miss
Leila E. Partridge, a prominent educator
and at present, Supervisor of Practice
Teaching at the Eastern State Normal
We take pleasure in giving it to our
readers because e believe Miss Patridg g
is worthy of all that was said and more
She is a successful conductor of Insti-
tutes and has done work of this kind in
seventeen states.
THE VERY BEST.
During the convocation of county
superintendent at the Eastern Normal
in the latter days of March, Superin-
tendent P. NJ Frye, of Owsley county,
dropped into the class room of Miss
Leila E. Partridge, of the Normal facul-
ty, and was SO impressed by her work
that he remained until the close of the
period. Later, in session of the con-
vocation, Mr.. Frye made the statement
that Miss Partridge is the best teacher
in the State of Kentucky. The applause
which greeted this statement was evil
dence that there are others of the same
opinion. All who have been in her
classes or who have observed her WORK
are ready to uphold Mr.. Frye in his
statement.
Miss Partridge has devoted her life to
the work of teaching, not because there
were not other things which she could
do, for she is an exceptionally bright
woman and has many talents, but be-
cause she loved it and from very early
girlhood recognized it as her especial
part of the worlds work.
perhaps her first reward came in her
selection by the great educator, Parker,
to put into practical operation his peda-
gogical theories. That she gained much
by this association with that great teach
or, is not to be denied; but her selection
for that work meant an unusual de-
gree of success already achieved.
Her Quincy Methods, unhappily out
of print, contains about all that will be
found in other modern books on peda-
gogy. 1t is safe to say that if Miss
Partridge had been as jealous in self-ad-
vertising as she has been in her profess
sional work, Kentucky would never
have known her as a member of the fac
ulty of mere Normal School. But. she
is the most modest and retiring of little
women, and her conception of the great
work of the teacher does not include
the ability to keep ones self constantly
before the public. Being human, it is
to be assumed that she would be pleased
by offers of more prominent and more
lucrative positions. Being first of all
teacher it cannot fail to be gratifying to
her TO know that her associates, pupils
and friends consider her the equal of
any in the land

Washington, D. C.-The following
letter has been addressed to the pub
lie by Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, president
of Southern Railway Company:
"The automobile has greatly in
creased the comfort and convenience
of life, and it has been an important
factor in the improvement of country
highways and so has contributed to
the progress of civilization Of our
time, but, just as the railroad did
automobile has introduced new social
complications and new risks, moral as
well as physical.
1.-THE American people are said to
be Enthusiastically reckless of hui
man life, and perhaps in nothing is
this statement more justified at the
moment than in relation to the use of
automobiles-not even the railroads.
My particular interest in the ques-
ton is, where my public responsibility
lies, in the combination of the two
in the accidents which occur to auto
mobiles and their occupants where
highways cross railways at grade: and
this is question of sufficient import
ance to warrant the attention of every
thinking man in the South.
Record For One Year
1.-THE following table shows the ap-
| palling record Of such accidents on
lines operated by Southern Railway
Company in the South during the year
ended June 80, 1915.

Without seeking to avoid just re-
sponsibility for what the officers or
employees of the railroad do or omit,
but recalling that railroad employee
whose carelessness causes an acct
dent is, in the public interest, subject
to discipline which affects his liveli-
hood, it is probably fair to say that
large proportion of these accidents
happened solely through the careless
ness Of the drivers of automobiles,
or their lack of experience in dealing
with vehicles at high speed. There
are among them also we'll authenticat-
ed cases of deliberate assumption Of
risk by the drivers of automobiles
from pure love of excitement and
] speed, evidenced by racing with trains
and seeking the thrill of a narrow es-
cape. Our enginemen report such oc-
currences daily. If fortunately they
are without fatal consequences in the
great majority of cases, they are al
ways paid for by a heavy strain on
the nerves of all concerned, particu-
ldlly luOS0 VI juc lOSOuOIlf6 engineer,
who maintains speed from duty and
not for fun. 1t is not too much to
claim for the locomotive engineer a
larger equipment of experience and
greater habit of precaution than the
average automobile driver. AS class
the locomotive engineers are sober,
steady and conservative men of long
experience in meeting and avoiding
risks, for theirs is a dangerous occu.
patton. Their every effort of charac-
ter, of instruction and of interest is
to avoid an accident. Most Of the &C.
cdents TO automobiles at railway
grade crossings could be avoided if
there was the same restraint of ex.
perience and attention at the wheel
of the automobile as at the throttle
of the locomotive.
Public vitality Interested
ut does not suffice the public in
any moral sense that the fund made
up of the revenues collected by the
railroad is usually made to respond
in damages for consequences of such
accidents. Suicide to collect life in
surance has never been deemed hon
orable, while no one would deliberate
ly sell the life of mother or wife,

SOUTHERN ELIMINATING
MANY GRADE CROSSINGS

Danville, Vain connection with
had under way in Virginia and North
Carolina during the past fiscal year on
1924 miles of it's Washington
line, Southern Railway has eliminated
81 out of 70 grade crossings. By the
building of underpasses 20 were elm
mated, by overhead bridges 10, and
by changing the direction of public
highways Is. The 10 which remain
are so located as to make their elimi-
nation physically impossible or they
involve prohibitive damages to abut-
ting property.
In all construction work involving
the relocation or double tracking Of
its lines the fixed policy of Southern
Railway Company is to separate all
important highway crossings of the
revised lines wherever practicable.
Though this policy means large addi-
tional expense, such expense is under
taken as a permanent investment for
safety.
0outueIn ndllWdy has dioo eo-opeIdl-

tiles in the elimination of many dan
gerous crossings on others of its lines
throughout the South. 1t has devoted
to work of this character as much as
it's resources and other obligations
make possible and President Fairfax
Harrison has announced that this pol.
icy will be continued.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-08-11

revised line, wherever physically prac-
ticable, and this policy will be contin-
ued for the future.
Given the history of our transpor-
tation and highway systems and the
enormous cost of adjusting them to
modern conditions, the elimination OF
grade crossings is and in the very
nature of the problem must be grad
ual development with the growth of
population and wealth, but, meanwhile,
good judgment on the part of all con-
cerned can do much to anticipate the
benefits of the admittedly desirable
expenditure of large sums of money.
The same sober sense of responsible
ity for life on the part of automobile
drivers which actuates most locomo-
tive engineers, and in addition the
willingness of the automobile driver in
such a high interest to subordinate
his time and convenience to that of
the greater number represented by a
railroad train, can check a waste OF
life and limb and property which is
now increasing every year.
"To this end | appeal confidently for
the counsel of every responsible man
and woman in the South, whether or
not he or she drives an automobile.
Words of caution and common sense
around the family dinner table can
have more influence and can save
more lives at railway grade crossings
than all the warning whistles ever
blown by locomotive engineer"

SOUTH AS GRAIN SECTION
EXPLOITED BY SOUTHERN

Atlanta, Ga.-The superlative ad-
vantages of the South as a grain pro-
ducing section will be given great
prominence in exhibits which South
ern Railway, Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road, Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway, Virginia and Southwestern
Railway, and affiliated lines will make
at thirty state, district and county
fairs in the North and Middle West
during the coming fall.
An especially fine collection of
grains will be shown while the grass
es and forage crops exhibited will be
of very high character. From the
wheat growing section of the South,
grain sheaves will be shown from
fields yielding as high as 40 bushels
to the acre, and the character of 9th
er exhibits will be in keeping. The
fruits and vegetables to be shown in
jars include wide variety.
These exhibits come from various
districts of the entire territory serv-
ed by Southern Railway and affiliated
lines in Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
They will be shown in Pennsylvania,
New York, Indiana, Michigan and H.
linois and each exhibit will be attend
ed by agents, well equipped to tell
callers about the various sections of
| the South.
The first two exhibits will be shown
at fairs in Indiana. For all fairs in
the Middle West a special exhibit
tent has been provided, arranged so
that large number of people can
see the exhibit at the same time.
Throughout many Of the states the
| Southern Railway exhibit has become

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you-Salts is
fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up. two or three times during the night.
aTo neutralize these irritating acids
and flush of the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makesea delightful eeffervescent lithia-

women take now and then, thus avoiding
