sends to us a suggestive clipping from
a local paper. The idea is advanced
that one reason why the farmers Of the
country cannot have free postal deliv-
ery is that roads are so hard to travel.
If the roads were good, postmen on
cycles miA- deliver the mails every
where. II thought is one which
dvelers IN the country will do we'll to
ponder.
The increasing interest IN the sub
iect is attested by the space given to
the discussion Of tie question In the
daily newspapers and other periodicals.
In recent issue of the New York In
depent Professor Shaler Of Harvard
University and several other experts
fill eight pages with their contributions
respecting the need of better common
roads, the best methods of construction,
aad the obvious value OF highways con
venient for travel.
Massachusetts sets the example for
the rest Of the country, and Professor
Shaler. who Is a member of the higE1-
way commission. gives an account OF
the method adopted by that common
wealth to promote the building OF good
| roads. Under this system three-1ourths
Of the expense is met by the state, and
! the rest Of the cost by the counties III
which the work is done. The Massa-
chusetts plan of state aid has been trlec,
two wears without showing serious de
| feclt. and Professor Sha.er regards it as
a practical method of dealing with the
road building problem.
An important suggestion IN these
articles concerns the proper technical
training Of civil engineers who wish tc
make highway construction speciality
The highest skill in engineering IS re
nuired to exemplify the best method:
in highway work. The study Of ma
terials to be used and OF their prope
disposition Is a necessary preparation
for expert treatment of the road ques
ton.
The old theory in rural districts, tha
any one who could order workmen a
bout vigorously and make animals dt
their best was fit to be highway con
structor, is giving place to the sensible
conclusion that careful training is need
, ed for work which is designed to ip
