Improvement of the Public Roads
The People are at Last Aroused to
the Necessities of This Work.

One of the most important economic
problems before the people of North Car.

public roads. The people are at last
aroused to the necessity of this work
and within the next few years, there will
undoubtedly be demand for a large
number of men who have scientific and
practical knowledge of road-construc-
ton. In order to meet this demand, the
North Carolina College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts at Raleigh offers a Sum
mer Course in Road Building for the ben
eft of those who. from lack of time or
for other reasons. are unable to take ad-
vantage of the regular college courses in
Engineering and Road Building. The
Course will be such as to prepare those
who wish to take up this work i'm the fu-
ture, and will also be of great benefit to
those who are already engaged in it.
instruction will be given in Location,
Grading, Construction of Road-bed,
Drainage, and the use of the various ma
terials for the road-covering. Road-mak-
advantages and disadvantages of each
machine explained as applying to the
different localities of our State. Practi-
cal instruction will be given in such Use
of the level instrument as is necessary to
the road builder. and also such draught-
ing as is essential to his work. Visits
will be made to places where roads are
being built around Raleigh.
The Course will be in charge of Profes-
sor W. c. Riddick, c. E., who will be as
sisted by Mr.. c. l.. Mann, b. c. +.
The Course will be from July 1st to
July 31st. Expenses for the whole course:

The Man Who Does Things.

Every institution wants him. He
is not looking gforpositions; positions
are looking for him. He does not
complain, he acts. He accomplishes
results, and these accomplished re-
suits speak more loudly in his favor
than acres of subsidized newspapers.
What the world wants. what the
world rewards, is the man who does
things. Encouragement and failures
are meaningless nothings to him; re-
suits are the substantial things for
which he strives and attains. There
is a settled air of assured success in
his manners and movements. There
is 10 trouble i'll selecting him from a
crowd. He can be picked out just rs
unerringly as his opposite, who abides
with encouragement and failure, and
they leave a more attractive imprint
on the countenance. Men who do
things in Industrial. commercial and
financial life are as scarce as their
opposites are plentiful. Opportuni-
ties are not scarce, they are plentiful,
more plentiful than ever since history
was written. They await the poor
boy who does things without looking
at the clock. People who are always
looking at the clock never amount to
much in anything. Men who do
things never consult the time to see
il they can stop; they know time twas
made for slaves" not for yirile men
who enthusiastically do things. EN-
ployees who frequently consult the
clock will always be employees with
no hope of rising. The man who does
things may in his absorption forget
his meal or his bed, but his opposite
will be ever ready ahead of time for
both or either.
