A Club member asked this week
for discussion of contest reading.
The writer, to open the question,
would say that it is often of great
value. Assign short reading lessons,
and require them to be thoroughly
learned. This means three things
LIST, a ready recognition of every
word; 2nd, a knowledge of the
meaning of every word; 3rd, such
an understanding of the selection as
will enable the reader to give it
good expression.
To do this with the first four
grades at least, the teacher should
60 over the lesson when assigning it
and have every new word marked.
Have these words looked up in the
dictionary and used in sentences for
the written exercise OF the next
lesson. Children in the third and
fourth grades may be taught to do
this to advantage. Sometimes, il
difficult, it is well to read the
selection when assigning it, also.
In the recitation have passages read
until a satisfactory result is obtained.
Allow pupils to criticise, but never
let them indicate that something is
wrong until the person reading has
finished. Never allow a pupil to
stumble through a passage. Stop
this at once. II you have the right
spirit in your school, this will be
punishment enough for poor work.
Be careful not to let this contest
reading result in the good readers
doing all the work.
Let those who have had experience
along this line add to this.
Eleven out of twelve Berea teachers
in Rockcastle County joined the
Club during the Institute, and the
twelfth will when he is sure what his
school address will be. Let every
other county do that way, and the
club will soon become a power fer
good.

The Farm
For Better Roads
sILAs cRRRvRR MASON, RditOr

| promised last week to tell the
readers of the CITIZEN something
about the building Of clay roads in
absence OF road metal.
For the preservation Of any road
it must be protected against water,
and water in three ways. Water
that comes running over the surface
to wash and tear out the road; water
that stands on the surface ready to be
mixed with the clay by passing
wheels into mud; and water that
seeps in beneath the road bed and
destroys the very foundations of it,
Where there is danger from this
last source, from a spring or side hill
seep, under drainage or carrying of
this water from below is the only
remedy, and that must be provided
for with the very beginning of work.
Ditching out the sides may do the
work il there is plenty Of outlet for
the water when it gets into the
bitches. Very often ditch cut
right underneath where the road bed
is to be, and filed up with broken
stones, cobble stone or any such
material at hand, and then covered
over with fiat stones, or plank, will
do the work. Even a ditch filed
with brush or poles will give drainage
for time but must be watched for
il is liable to clog up with mud.
Next comes the building up Of the
road bed. This will depend upon
the principle that clay worked or
tramped or rolled in thin layers can
be made so firm that it is very hard
for water to penetrate il. Almost
any piece of old dirt road" will
show places where the bed keeps
hard through almost any long spell Of
wet weather. Why because it is a
part of the road that had natural
drainage aud by chance was given
the right surface and slope, and has
been made compact by years of
travel
The Government Good Roads Com
mission has expert road makers out
in various parts Of the country max
ing stretches of sample road here
and there. They teach that to get a
good clay road it must be rolled and
ROLLED and ROLLED, so that the
whole mass from the bottom up is
made very compact. Then it is left
with a good rounding crown on top
to turn the water off, and il must be
kept so. All roads wear odt with
traffic, even the best metal roads.
The only way TO have good road is
to build a good road to start with,
and keep il so. That takes some
labor, TO be sure, but not nearly as
much as il takes to move freight
over bad road. We cannot expect
to get something for nothing very
long at a time.
Keep the crown on the road. As
soon as it wears fiat, grade it up a
little. As soon as a rut or wash
appears, fill it; then the surface
water must be turned of. Water is
very powerful agent il it can get
volume and fall. Spread the water
ont and by no means let il have a
channel down the middle of the road.
Turn il aside aud out with every
opportunity. Water is the worst
enemy of good roads, but it can be
managed so as to do little harm. To
do this someone must make it his
business. All this costs. All the
difference between a toll road and a
county road is in bow the cost is
met, and how well the work is
done. There is no such thing as a
free road.
