Railway Magazine.

Hitherto, the Annual Statement to Parliament has been the only means by which the intentions of the Administration, and the effect of Departmental operations have become known to the staff. This was not always in a form easy of assimilation by the bulk of the Department's employees. Being convinced that the confidence and assistance of the personnel in co-ordinated action are essential to obtaining the best results, and that this can be done only by taking more frequent opportunity for keeping them advised of the Department's position, progress and aims I have arranged for an illustrated Magazine to be published by the Administration. In this journal the employees and the business public will be kept apprised monthly of the Railway situation, any contemplated or approved innovations, matters of an educational nature relating to the various phases of Railway working, general news of personal or employment interest, and such other information as may help to develop, with the spirit of team work, a sense of comradeship and joint participation in the welfare of the service.
