Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago Street Railways In the organisation of a municipal street railway department a very great deal depends on the arrangements that are made for the selection and training of conductors and motormen, and also on the standard of efficiency that is set up and maintained. From the separate print which I send you, you will get full details as to our methods of selection and training in Glasgow. The system we have adopted is working admirably. It will very likely be necessary for you at the outset to begin operations with men who have had experience in street railway work, but very soon your General Manager will find it to be to your advantage to engage young men and train them himself. We in Glasgow rarely engage a man who has been in street railway work before, and we have made it a rule never to reengage a man who has been in our service. A strict medical examination you will find to be absolutely necessary, and, as you will find no difficulty in obtaining applications from suitable young men, you will be able to fix the standard very high. We engage all our men on the understanding that, after serving for a few months conducting a car, they must, when asked, go through the motor school and learn to drive a car. If a man fails to qualify as a motorman, he has to leave the serum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
