A FEW QUESTIONS

Methods Of transportation are un-
undergoing rapid changes. The
rapidly Of the changes Is such as TO
excite suspicion respecting the wis
dom OF all Of them, To raise the aues-
ton whether they all are inevitable,
whether IL isn't about time TO apply
the brakes.
A railroad gets a franchise, builds
tracks over Its own right Of way. The
public builds a highway parallellinS
the steel rails. Motor vehicles are
developed Some Of these are used
On this highway hauling freight more
cheoply and conveniently than 1t may
be hauled on the railroad. Why?
There are several reasons. Convcn-
fence to the shipper IL one. Another
Is that the use Of the highway does
not pay for its up-kecp. That Is
borne by the taxpayers, and A. Il.
or &. may haul more cheaply than II
they had to pay their share OF the
maintenance. Why should not tho
railroad abandon It's tracks and run
It's freight over highways maintained
by taxpayers? And then what hap
ride in their light cars over this
highway? Is the congestion there to
result In compelling them to build
another highway for their own use?
A.. L.. a no

tracks at n loss?
And IL there be not meat of prob
lens enough in the above. what about

Usina The Public's Ways
DWELL Courior-CitiZenI


Now comes the inevitable extern
sion of the omnibus business. by the
orsaniza ion of Il new department Of
activity by the Boston & Maine
Railroad. 1t has been clearly fore
seen. The railroads centerin~ in
such a city as Boston. and doing
what is in large measure a street.
railway business. are bound to resort
TO busses sooner or later. There is
no more argument against their do
ing it than there is against the street
railways. The one thing that is
opening UP vista of problems is
the increasing congestion due to the
usurpation of the general highways
by the business Of enfranchised
transportation companies. These
have always had their own special
rights of way. They are now
abandoning those and are taking to
the public roads, which are not
maintained by them, but by the
general public. How far the public
should or will consent to this re-
mains an interesting question. The
presumable outcome will be the fore
ing OF such as use motor omnibuscs
for interurban transport to provide
their own routes wherever the use
of common highways in lieu OF old
lines of rail leads TO the intolerable
exclusion of the public therefrom.

COm'r Thomas

Officials of the
Goal of Education

Providence, X. l.. NOV. 2l-COm-
missioner Augustus o. Thomas nf
the Maine department of education
in addressing the Rhode Island school
officers today on the subject of Ad-
ministration. pointed out that the
goal of education is to determine in
dividual dynamics and to increase
the individuals power for projecting
himself successfully in life.
He declared that children ought
not to be segregated for educational
purposes and that the common
schools ought TO be made good
enough for all OF the children of all
Of the people.
To-day we have the ideal of an in
formed public" DR.. Thomas assert

know their own affairs. Each citi-
zen of a community is a stakeholder
In the highways. the public buildings
and improvements, the government,
the schools. in fact. in all which goes
to make up society. government and
business of public nature.
"The management of "a system of
schools Is a piece of Educational
Engineering We are looking for
efficiency not only in expenditure but
in results, The school board must
be in advance of the general public
in order that the general public may
reach up to the situation and
through this reaching up secure ad-
vancement. This educational engi-
neering means that the board must

1t should also know its educational
problem, not merely the establishing
Of schools for children Of normal
mentality and normal needs, but for
the mentally retarded. the slow
witted. Provision should be made for
the brilliant. talented and gifted pu-
pills as well. School buildings must
be adequate and conserve In every
way possible the health Of the child.
They should also provide some aes-
thetic culture in the surroundings.
The needs OF every child must be
taken into consideration and pro-
vision made for his satisfactory de-
velopment. The campaign for fresh
air in schools to reduce the percent =

"The public schools constitute a
considerable portion of the business

Efficiency demands that the money
collected by taxes and by other pub
lie means for the support fof schools

A delegate to a conference on uti-

the center of the stage with pro-
posal to do away with Christmas
trees. Why couldn't he have waited
until after Santa Claus had paid his
annual visit? About that time Of
Year doing away with the used
Christmas trees is a timely problem.
Perhaps he expected us TO take him
seriously. and we may have to yet.
but let's wait until after Christmas.
