Book Description
Excerpt from Betterment Briefs These all appeared in pamphlet reprint editions, quickly ex hansted. Later in 1908, the greater part of the work was reissued, somewhat altered in form, and combined with other papers by the same author which had been published from time to time in The Railroad Gazette and The American Engineer and Railroad Journal, or had been presented before various professional bodies. The entire issue of this enlarged volume, entitled Betterment Briefs, in turn, was soon absorbed in private and general circulation. Meanwhile the work on the Santa Fé was proceeding to the development of a new order - new, not only to the road, but to the ideals of railroad operation generally. In the mechanical and stores' departments, in the apprenticeship system, and in all the relation with employees, both financial and friendly, standards were being attained which made the Santa Fé a center of observation and study for railway officials throughout the country. Both inside and out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
