HARRIMAN ON COLLEGE.
In reply to a query of the Yale News whether a college
education is a valuable preparation for railroading, E. II.
Harriman makes a few remarks indicative of keen obser
vation. In many professions aside from railroading, what
Mr. Harriman has to say is the cold truth. He says :
"A college education will be a great help if the man
has kept the foundations of high-school learning firmly
fixed. If he has neglected his handwriting and forgotten
his arithmetic in higher mathematics, nothing could be
worse for him.
"The high school boy lias the advantage in that all the
first essentials of good work in railroading are at his fin
gers' ends. For instance, take the making of a simple
statement. A statement should be like a picture, something
that can be taken in at a glance.
"A high school boy will draw such a statement with per
fect accuracy and clearness, while a young college gradu
ate will draw it in such a way that it is a puzzling scrawl.
"I have found that m every case the high school boy
does better work than the college man for the first few
years. However, as soon as the college man has overcome
these habits and has got back to first principles, he will go
ahead much faster than his less educated rival.
On the other hand, the high Bchool boy, as being younger,
is more adaptable and has not in most cases the Irregular
habits of the college man."
