31lect Lesson Roads as Built by

The friends of til" road Office In tie
Gcilrtm1nt Of agriculture have scored
m Important victory in securing in the
senate an increase of $4,000 in the APP
preparation for road Investigations and
experiments. including the building of
object lesson roads, says the Chicago
Rccord-Ucrald.
This is national aid on Il small scale,
but it is of great Importance from an
educational point of view. Heretofore
this object lesson work has been con
Quoted in the following manner: An
application Is sent in by some expert
mCnt station or agricultural college or
by road officials or public spirited citi-
zcns Of some progressive community
asking the government to cooperate In
the building of short stretch of road.
The government usually furnishes
nothing more than an engineer or an
expert to make plans and supervise the
work. Roadmaking machinery is uSu-
ally furnished free Of charge by the
manufacturers for the sake Of the adj
vCrtiScmcnt it gives them. The rail
the machinery free. The institution or
community making the application has
to foot the bills for labor ana materi-
ais
Among the benefits flowing from
such work are: 1t gives an excellent
opportunity to Investigate and test the
various local materials; it gives tie
people of that locality lesson in the
methods of road building and in the
use of road materials and machinery.
The building of a short piece of good
road usually leads to the building of
large mileage of improved road in the
vicinity.
To have Uncle Sam come into com
munity and help build good road. be
it ever 50 short, seems to arouse great
popular interest and stimulate local eff
fort. Ii is claimed by those who know
most about the results of the work al
ready done that in no other direction
does the government accomplish so
much with so little outlay.
But the opponents of national aid are
afraid that object lesson roads are only
n stepping stone to national aid of vast
ly greater dimensions. and in this they
are probably right. However that may
be. it appears certain that object lesson
road building will he carried on next
year to a larger extent than ever be
fore. Many applications are now on
file in the department Of agriculture,
and many more are expected.
