Immigration and the Schools
DR.. W. H. MAXWELL Superintendent New York City

EW YORK has shown greater increase in its school
attendance than any city in the world and though there
are several contributory causes, THE CHIEF CAUSE
is IMMIGRATION. The number of immigrants in
1899 311715 and in 1908 939 $780, and diminution

1903 the county commissioners of Ce-
Gil county appropriated S11, 600 for the
construction of a macadam road to
be built under the Maryland GeolOei-
cal Survey specifications at Rising
Sun. This road which mas been com
pleted for one mile, is macadamized
for width of II feet and grade for
a width of 20 feet. and will cost at the
rate of about $1,000 mile. The re-
suit of the employment of a road en-
gineerin Baltimore county who should
have charge of all the road meudlug
throughout the county, has been in
more rOad-cOnstructiOn according to
IL Odern methods, il the past two
wears than any time before. Ia Prince
Georges county, the new road law
created board of road commission
ers who have complete charge of the
road funds, which were taken out of
the hands of the county commission
ers. This law also provided that the
improvement of the roads leading iu-
to the county from Washington
should be under the direction of the
State Geological Survey, and consid-
era bic work Of a permanent charac-
ter has been done in reducing the
grades and graveliIg q number If
these main roads of the county. AS
the amount of money for this purpose
is only $4,000 annually, but compare
lively small mileage of road has been
improved so far.
In every case it has been the effort
and the aim of the highway engineer
of the survey to induce the county
officials to concentrate the road funds
at their command to the improve
ments of especially bad portions of
the roads, putting such places into a
proper state of repair to the end that
some real and lasting benefit would
be gained; so that what was done in
one year would not be entirely oblite-
rated in the next. A very simple
necessary Improvement to the road
building equipment of the counties,
| and one which is strongly urged by
the Geological Survey is the purchase
of steam rollers for the highways.
The counties of Baltimore. Hartford,
Cecil and Allegany have already &C
cepted the suggestion of the Survey
and have provided themselves with
the rollers while Dorchester and
Howard counties are considering a
similar purchase and the Montgom-
cry county commissioners have been
advised to do likewise

Miss Rose McGraw was at Deer

arrangements for occupying the fam
ilys beautiful summer cottage for
the present season, and, with her
mother, expects toleave this city for
that point next Tuesday. This sea-
son bids fair to be very successful

Many residents Of eastern cities who
will go to the ST. Louis Exposition
will stop for a season at one or the
other of these famous resorts, and
the demaud for cottages this season
is heavy already. The McGraw cot
tage at Deer Park is one of the most
handsome and comfortable and has
extensive and beautiful grounds, and
the family greatly enjoy occupying it
