TRAINING CAMP SCHEME FOR RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
PA WELLINGTON, Apt. ,15. The success of its new staff training camp scheme is regarded as established by the Railways Department, according to an official statement issued yesterday. The objective is to train not merely guards, shunters, and engineers, but railwaymen who will have a grasp and understanding of the working of the series as a whole. The subjects handled at the recently-con-cluded camp at Linton included tariff, accounts in various branches, general railway knowledge, train running, the elements of electricity and magnetism, telephony, locomotive running, mechanical accounting and English. The opportunity was afforded students of meeting the assistant general manager, Mr E. H. Langford, who outlined the future policy both in regard to developments in the service itself and to the personal side of administration. Discussions which the students participated in followed addresses by departmental heads.
