II Wendell Phillips failed to include road
making in his famous lecture on The Lost
Arts" il was not for lack of practical remind
or, in his native country. Good roads marked
the advance of Roman civilization. but the de-
cline Of the highway followed the advance Of
the American railroad It is not strange how
ever unfortunate il may be, that this decline
should have continued in districts remote and
thinly populated but there is no excuse for the
vrctchcd roads which may be found in and
about some suburban villages. Good roads to
the suburban resident are prime necessity.
Even though he neither drives nor rides Il
ldcvcle. he appreciates roads which VIII not
bctray the confidence of the pedestrian. But
every spring and every fall we hear tales OF
cricyous experiences with tho red mud Of New
Jersey. the sand of Long Island, and the
tenacious clay in portions Of the Hudson River
Valley. I'm midsummer the suburban resident
contends against dust. and his meek protests
serve 10 rcprcSs any spirit OF envy on the part
of those of us who are the bondsavcs OF
Street leaning Department 10 which clcan
ness is unknown.
Even the most dispirtcd suburban resident
will acknowledge that there are some good
roads within his reach, and in certain public
spirited communities most OF the roads are
constructed upon ineligible principles. Else
where there remain highways laid out upon
principlcs exactly As ineligible and intelligent

building which followed the general use OF the
railroad and the neglect Of the old "pike"
roads is illustrated in an adherence to ira
,nnthnbs which * nFulIX familiar
to many suburban horscman. Taxes arc still
worked out OH the highways by running
lcisurcy furrow along the sides and occasion
ally across where drainage is required, and
hcapng the earth in the middle, where it re-
mains the despair of drivers until the rain
washes it away, and the latter state OF that
road is worse than the first. This is the
method Of the "old settlers" When the
suburban element begins to assert itself, the re-
spectacle shades of Matadam and TelIord are
invoked, and after a conquest of the original
inhabitant, and possibly a bitter controversy
between the advocates of /" thick Tclford" and
d" thin Macadamv the centre of population is
able TO boast of roads of the first class. But,
unhappily, roadbuilding is apt to end here.
II the suburban resident is willing to confnc
himself 10 circumscrbed space, his progress
is as easy and pleasant as the life OF a wealthy
prisoner in Ludlow Street Jail But If he
ventures upon the old roads in his desire to

but his experiences with mud or dust, with

hailed as a public benefactor. 1t has under
gratitude of every public spirited citizen OF the
metropolis. II proposes . to conslgn over 10
eternity the memory of the places OF greatest
historic interest throughout this town by means
of tablets in bronze bearing the necessary IN
scriptons. The designs for eight OF such brasSeS
have already been prepared, and the Pood
work once entered upon the society VIII doubt
less perseverc until it has thus recognized every
spot on the island which has history that Is
worth preserving The Pennsylvania society
of the Sons Of the Revolution has undertaken
a work of similar import. At It's last meeting
il resolved TO erect stone tablets TO mark the
scenes of Revolutionary battles in the country
about Philadelphia When Albany, few years
ago. was arranging for celebration of her IN
centennial she wisely decided not to allow the
great day to pass without setting up such
memorials. She found occasion to prepare
nearly fifty Of them, and it is generally agreed
that they were the ittest and the best out
come Of her high festival.
The interest and the value which attach to
such monuments are evident. The maich OF
civilization in this new country OF ours is so
rapid and so remoiselcss that the Past must
avail itself Of all the precautions which II can
command if it would prevent the Present iron'
blotting out, or, at all events, Obscurlng, It's
record. How many New Workers OF to-day
know where the houses stood which were Occu-
pied by Che first white men who came to Man
haitian Island? How many of them can point
out the site of Fort Amsterdam or OF the old
Middle Dutch Church, or OF any of the other
places which will bear the tablets of the llol-
land Society? Probably not more than one in
hundred The city has grown so fast and
builders. as a rule are so little given to scnti-
ment, that the scriptural injunction, " Remove
not the ancient landmark" has been pretty
generally disrcgarded To-day the great his
toric points are to be found only by those who
make an earnest search for them. The
majority of our people have not the leisure
for such an investigation, and hence in an i'm
pOrtant sense their own town is something in
the nature of a sealed book to them. The re-
suit is that they are deficient in local pride and
local patriotism-how can they properly ap-
preciate a city which they do not know? To
all these New Workers the tablets of the llol-
land Society, which he who runs may read
will be a blessing, "a liberal education in Local

creased her tourist travel by her excellent roads,

agent will admit that his nelghporhood Is
naturally inferior to Switzerland or any other
foreion country. The Telford and Macadam
roads are too costly for use everywhere, but
tho lack Of good roads of the second class out

of suburban life The use made of good

Professor Trowbrdgcs argument for State aid
in roadbuilding But without touching upon
this point. it is safe to say that investments
in roadbuiding on the part of suburban towns
will Weld high interest if the outlay is jul
diciously made. The increasing love OF out
door life makes the quality of the roads about
suburban towns more important than ever be-
fore and at present the average quality Is
far lower than il should be. The suburban
resident makes few audible complaints. lie
has learned to be long suffering, just as he has
learned to carry bundles which his city brother
cannot contemplate without dismay. But the
towns which present the best roads, other
tbinos being equal, will have the strongest
claim upon that surplus population which over
flows into the suburbs every spring.
