were no less than seven pupils Of that
name the father would have TO repair to

for himself. But he isn't one OF the
seven" cried the teacher as the father
pointed to one OF the children as his son.
THAT child's name isn't key Cohen; it's
key Gowash." The father insisted that
the name was key Cohen. Mystified be-
yond measure. the teacher brought out
her books. There. sure enough. the child
was duly registered as key Gowash. The
boy admitted having given that name and,
evidently as mystifed as the teacher. he
added that he supposed 1t to be his. 1t
transpired that the child. like so many
little eastsiders. actually didn't know his
surname. When asked upon entering the

stone road. While the initial cost of con-
structing the stone road is greater, they
can, nevertheless, be kept IN perfect con-
dition at but little cost, and the facili-
ties which they present 10 the farmer are
far superior 10 the dirt road, no matter
in what section OF the country they may
be built. Road building. like great many
other things, is largely a matter Of edu-
cation. The people who live in the rural
districts and are most deeply interested in
good roads should be taught the value Of
better highways both from a business
and social standpoint. For several years
I have contended that the state convicts
should be put to work on the public high
ways in Georgia and kept there until
every roadway In the state is put in irst-
class travelling condition. This would be
the best investment which could be made
OF the convict labor OF the state, and
within a few years tremendous proht
would be annually returned TO the state
and her citizens. Convicts should be work
ed on public improvements which are
most beneficial TO the people at large.
and the system Of selling the labor OF a
convict TO the highest bidder from the
ranks OF private enterprises I believe 10 be
wrong both in principle and for the best
interests OF the public good. ] think the
states should work their convicts on the
public roads and the national government
should aid the work by annual appropria-
ton, Just as Il appropriates money to con-
struct magnificent federal buildings In
cities and for maintaining our harbors
and river navigation.
