to see the United States have as soon
as possible the second most powerful

two reasons-to repel any attempted

not use 1t in common conversation"
He next compared geography and his
tory. showing how inseparable they
are in reaching but declared that each
was usually taught with a different
end in view. Mr.. Wessinger deplored
the energy wasted in rural sch ools by
devoting too much time to the few in
the higher grades, while 35 or 40 in
termediate pupils are idle.
Hon. ]. E. Swearingen, state SUPER
intendent of education, began his re-
marks by ascertaining how many one.
two and three teacher schools were

prone TO go too much at leaps and
bounds and want TO go too far at

THE STEEL ROAD

The railroad has been the subject Of
several poems recently. but Of none
more musical than this, which we take
from the American Lumberman.
There's a steel road. real road. that
runs among the trees,
That dashes over cataracts and clam
bers over hills;
There's white road. a bright road,
that's swifter than the breeze
And. easterly or westerly. It wanders
where 1t willis!
And it's no! then, it's go then. along tho
shining rails.
A speeder for your chariot upon sum-
mer's day:
It will lead you. will speed you, through
green and dewy dales.
The forest for your canopy upon your
royal way!
There Is ne'er then care shen-the town
Is left behind,
You're free as any meadow lark that
circles In the blue:
Like swallow you follow the rails as
they unwind
In all the world around you there Is
just the road and you
Ard when play ends and day ends and
ruddy Is the west,
When birds come singing from the fields
and sailors from the foam.
Then the steel road. the real road. the
road that leads to rest
Is the white road, the bright road, the
road that leads to home!

Good Plan for New Tire,

1t Is a good plan to run a new tire
for day or two, even if not imme.
diately needed, before putting it on
the tire rack of the car. The running
seems to have an advantageous effect
in preventing the tire from deteriorat.

the rack, remember that sunlight will
cause it to oxidize, crack and become
quite worthless within a short time.

MUST SHOW HIS Value
EACH RAILROAD MAN CAPITAL
lied FOR CERTAIN SUM.
Just What This Means 10 Shown In
the Following Artiele-key to
Whole Thing May Be Called
Cooperative Economy.

Perhaps cooperative economy Is the
best way of designating the new meth.
cd Of railroad management. Without
cooperation among the men it would
not work. To save a nickel Or q dime
a day for the company, each man must
be shown that he is capitalized along
with the rest of the railroad property
for certain sum, and if he is any use
he must earn interest on that capital
ization, writes George Ethelbert Walsh
in the Sunday magazine Of the Chicago
Herald.
A big railroad manager of an east
ern road took the men into his con-
fidence by addressing them in this
way, by personal interviews and speech
when he could, and by letters and cir
culars when the former was imprac
ticable:
"How much are you capitalized at!
Do you know? If not, stop minute
to figure it out. If you're getting q
salary Of $1,000, your capital value is
100000, and you've got to earn five
per cent on that or drop to a lower
capitalization. If you're earning only
$500 year, 1t is because you have
failed to earn five per cent on any
greater amount. This Is one sure way
Of getting out Of the lower wage class.
Raise your capitalization? How! Show
US that you're earning more than five
per cent on your present rated capt.
talization. Hereafter wages are going
to be based on this idea-individua
capitalization"
A concrete illustrations: A station
agent at a salary of $50 month had
a record of wasting the company's
money through carelessness or a run
of bad luck. Freight consigned to or
shipped from his point had a way of
meeting accidents that caused q lot of
damage suits. The man was eau.
toned, warned and finally peremptor.
lily fred.
Another took his position, with a
warning that he would meet a similar
fate II he did not look after the com.
pany's interests with greater care.
He made a two years clean record,
and his capitalization went up to $16..
900; another year it was advanced to
$4,000 as the result Of his earning
capacity. Then came a letter couched
in these words:
I'VE cannot pay more than 5000 at
X. The business there will not war.
rant it. But we consider you worth
hore than 5000 a year, and you are
hereby transferred to W, with sal
airy of $1.2O0."
The station agent who mishandles a
broom and wears it out beating the dog
or using it for a baseball bat is the
same man who roughly handles the
freight and express packages, and lays
the foundation for endless damage
suits. He also leaves the station with
the drafts all turned on the stove so
