EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
intelligence there oan be no doubt - that it enables some who have the requisite talent and genius, to advance, is evidenced by the recorded results, Employes who have ambition are using the Educational Bureau as a stepping stone to more advanced positions. The apprentioe in the shop, if his circumstances will permit, oan attend the high sohool and learn his trade at the same time, or he oan devote his entire time to his employment, and receive special instruction not only in the trade but in general knowledge. There is no branch of the service it does not reach - no employe it cannot help. The work, like any genuine uplift, is not manifest as some might unreasonably expect in spontaneous loyalty and changed adverse sentiments* There is a leavening, however, of the person- nel which must produce results - an irresistible tendency to grow in mentality in spite of one's surroundings and obstacles, that no influence, disloyalty, shiftlessness or idle frivolity can control. Were it otherwise, railroad men have indeed sunken to a pitiful condition. The time will never come to me when I shall willingly withhold the helping hand to those who through heart-breaking restrictions, are deprived of the opportunities vouchsafed to their more fortunate fellow beings, to aoqure the knowledge that will make their life work more easy and their advancement possible.
