CHIEF ENGINEER
Of ESPEE ROAD
QUITS HIS POST
William Hood Retires on the
Fifty fourth Anniversary
of His First Service With
the Company.
tBy The Associated Press)


San Francisco, May 24-Be-
cause there are no more great rail-
road construction problems to
tackle, william Hood, chief engl-
neer of the Southern Pacific com
pany and dean Of his profession
in the United States, tiring of Of
flee routine, retired May 8, on the
fittyfourth anniversary of his
first connection with the company.
Mr.. Hoods life history is the
history Of the expansion of the
Southern Pacific lines over great
stretches of the west. He put the
road across the difficult Tehachai-
pi Pass in California, built the
great Lucln cutoff across the
Great Salt Lake, conceived an s.
line to cross the Siskiyou noun
tains between California and Ore
gon, constructed the Dumbarton
cutoff across iower san Francisco
Bay and completed a line between
San Diego and Arizona.
Almost every one of the 1000
miles of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn was covered by Mr.. Hood on
foot before the rails were laid. All
his work was done in the open.
Now, with no more lakes to bridge
and no more mountains to tunnel,
Mr.. Hood decided to leave his Of
flee post, with its "unit cost" dis
cussionS and the line, and, at the
age Of rs, to open his own office.
He is not retiring because OF his
age or of failing health, for he
Is as active and vigorous az a man
much younger.
Back IN the pioneer days of 1857
Mr.. Hood Joined the Central Pa
cific, after having been mustered
out of the Union army at the cIosc
of the Civil war and having cut
short his college work at Dart
mouth. He soon became chief as
sistant engineer and In the last
seventies built the Tehachaipi loop
and sent the road to Los Angeles.
To make distance" for a gradual
slope, Mr.. Hood twisted his line
in down -slanting loop completely
around ons of the peaks, complet-
ing the circles of seven-tenths of
a mile when the track crossed its
starting point in a tunnel ~ feet
below the upper level.
Later, when the Southern Pa
cific wanted to get across the Salt
Lake, Mr.. Hood decided the cut
off could be built at a practicable
cost, despite other views held by
other engineers. He decided to
cover IL miles of the lake with a
trestle and rear solid ridge CT
earth across the rest of 1t. De
spite the soft and treacherous bot
tom, the project was completed in
little more than year, An aver
age of LAO feet of .roadbed was
completed each day.
The crossing or the Siskiyous
was another problem solved by Mr.
Hood. His 81 line crosses the
Sacramento river IS times and
passes through 16 tunnels, one
5000 feet long. The construction
of the line between San Diego and
Arizona involved cutting through
Carriso Gorge.
One of his greatest feats was
construction Of the Dumbartcn
cutoff, d line which eliminates
freight haul of IS miles.

PUPILS In ELEMENTARY GRADES
ARE The MOST POORLY HOUSED
AND TAUGHT, SURVEY REVEALS
Children From to IA Have Poorer Fire Pro-
lection, Less Light and Air and Poorer
Teaching Than Those From IA to IS, Ac-
cord to the Teachers Federation.
tRY THE ASSOCIATED pREssA

Chicago, May 24.-The disquiet-
ing fact that children from 8 to
IA have poorer fire protection, less
light and air, and poorer teaching
than children from IA to IS, is
revealed by a study now being
carried on by the better schools
service OF the American Federation
OF Teachers.
Every comprehensive school
survey published within the past
six months confirms the fact that
il is the children of elementary
school age who are the most poor
ly housed and taught" said Miss
Josephine Colby of Chicago in a
talk before the American Fedora
tion of Teachers here. "The aver
age elementary school building
and the average elementary school
teacher are inferior in equipment
TO the average high school build
ing and high school teacher.
From inadequate lighting,
heating and ventilating, the young
er children are the greatest suf-
ferers The old type of building
was seldom scientifically planned.
In the school designed 20 years
ago stale air, dusty air, cold floors,
extremes OF temperature, insuffi-
cient, uneven or glarlng light,
some or all of these drawbacks
are sure to prevail. The recent
report of the American city bu-
reau on the housing Of school chill
dren shows that in the cities of
the Great Lakes, eastern and great
pains regions, one-half of the
elementary school children are
housed in buildings of the vintage
of from 23 to 26 years ago. on
the other hand, less than one
quarter OF the high school pupils
of American cities are in buildings
as old as those housing one-half
of the elementary pupils.
"And of the children in the ele-
mentary schools by far the greater
number are under 13 years of age.
0vercrowding and the consequent
menace to sanitation and comfort
occurs just where it does the most
harm-among the younger chil-
dren. Tens of thousands of chill
dren are in basement rooms which
are inadequately lighted and more
than three feet below the ground
level. Thirteen thousand in Hi
nois alone are reported among
public school children who go toI
school in easements.
