Work Of Schools and Colleges.

Schools and colleges throughout the coun-
try are now directing considerable atten-
ton to highway engineering, and the office
has undertaken to cooperate in this work
to the fullest extent. A plan has been
adopted of employing each year several
graduates of reputable engineering schools
throughout the country as civil engineer
students. These students are given instruc-
ton and practical training In all branches
of highway engineering. including labora-
tory and field work They receive q salary
Of $50 per month and field expenses for a
period of one year, after which they may
be promoted, at the option of the Secre-
tary OF Agriculture, without further exam
ination, on account of the fact that pre-
liminary to their appointment they are re-
quired to pass a rigid civil service exam
nation If any general Improvement In
the roads in this country is to be made
1t Is of vital Importance that there be a
sufficient number of highway engineers to
properly direct the work. BY promoting
highway engineering in colleges and by car
rying on the postgraduate work above out
lined, the office will be aiding, in a meas
ure at least in this work
There are practically no data available
from which 1t can be ascertained how much
money is being expended in the United

ture. Such data compiled for the entire
United States, would not only be of great
interest, but would be valuable, as it would
snow IN q measure at least TO eaCn county
whether 1t was obtaining due return for
its outlay. Such work of collection and
compilation is now. being carried on and
reports will be available within the pres
emit year for every county in the United
States.
Laboratory Work.
The laboratory work of the Office has
been mainly directed toward making routine
tests of rocks for macadam road building
