Railway Educational Schemes in Britain

Railway Educational Schemes in Britain.

Three thousand or more employees of the London and North Eastern Railway will participate in the comprehensive scheme of “railway education” which the Company is providing for their salaried staff during the autumn and winter months. The classes are optional, but every facility is given to encourage students to attend.

The scheme, which strongly appeals to the men, includes courses in technical subjects, such as train signalling, passenger and goods accounting (conducted by qualified members of the Company's own staff) and the more advanced subjects of railway law, railway economics, railway operating, and economic geography.

This secondary course is made possible by the co-operation of the Universities of London, Cambridge, Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds, Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrew's, and Aberdeen, under whose auspices classes are held at most of the important centres on the Company's system.
