F. BUTLER, Chicago politeness" proposed to be " ' " I established by one of the roads leading .': ;o Chicago. To anyone who has ridden for any distance on a steam railroad to say nothing of elevated trains and streVt ears espi-oidlv in fii:d out of Chicago, the necessity for such a school is absolutely imperative, for there is no class of men with whom the general public has to deal that is so wanting in simple politeness as railroad officials, from brakemon to officials high in this service. As a class, with now and then an exception, they are gruff, bluffy and coarse in manner where they should be simply in a business way attentive and polite. We hope that some of the street-car conductors will, when the school is established, take a thorough course of instruction in this department of educat ion. The traveling public wiil most promptly approve this long-delayed and much needed educational institution. |
