Training the Railwayman for His Work.

According to a recent announcement in the London “Times” extensive arrangements for the education and training of the staff, in all grades, have again been made by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company for the 1927–28 season. Classes are to be held during the winter months at all the principal stations and depots. Instruction is to be given in goods and passenger station work (in all its phases), commercial English, railway geography, signalling, and other branches of railway work. Courses in railway law (inaugurated specially for the L.M.S. staff) are also being arranged for at certain universities, colleges, and commercial and technical institutes. In London and Derby complete commercial courses are provided in co-operation with local educational authorities.
