TRAINED ROAD MAKERS
Good Men Needed to See Tha. the None,
is Spent Wisely.

1t is somewhat astonishing to learn
that sum of nearly three million dol
| lars is spent annually by he rural dis
| tricts of our state for roads and bridges.
| Ie Is hard to believe that In the last ten
| years about twenty-five million dollars
have been spent for these purposes out
side of the cities and villages, especially
so when the condition Of the roads aud
bridges is taken into account They
nave practically the same appearance
that they used to have before those
twenty five millionE were spent. The
money has literally been dropped into
the holes In our roads.
But more astonishing than the great
mesa OF these amounts ia the fact that
they have been spent on engineering
projects in almost every instance with
out the advise Of trained man. We
would naturally think a man who start
ed to build twenty-five million dollar
railroad was absolutely crazy IL he did
not hire the best engineering talent he
could get. In fact the courts would
promptly be asked to appoint guar
dian by his heirs IL he selected men who
had no experience and technical train
ing for the work. Yet we 90 on In this
great state of ours and spend millions
every year on just that principle, -
without any definite plan or any ad-
vice from trained men We all know
road overseers-manY of them in our
countrywide know next TO nothing of
the work they are supposed to do aud
their work shows 1t
But when we ask where we can get
trained men, we find that we haven /
them available.-our system hasn't been
OF the sort to make them. We have
hired a mason to do our woodwork, a
novice TO lay the foundation and 8
blacksmith to paint until each has for
gotten his own trade and does not know
the other We must train men from
the start IL we are ever to haye good
roads.
The Iowa highway commission has
adopted the plan of holding road
school for week in the summer to
which all road supervisors are invited
They go TO the Iowa State College where
they see all kinds Of road machinery at

types of bridges, culverts and road ma

tuntty TO ask questions, and all the help
possible is given them In the various

DR.. T. w. Nazam Talks of Conditions in
European Countries.

DIR. Thos. w. Nuz1m, who has lust
returned from years solourn in Eur.
ope, has decided 10 remove from Broad.
head to GAINESVILLE, where he will estab-
lish hospital and become surgeon for
the q. NJ a. ST. Paul railroad company.
A Broadhead paper of late date con-
tainsd an interview with DIR. Nuzum,
IN which he recited some of his ouser-
vations of the countries he visited and
then commented on sheir people, This
portion of bis comment we here repro
ducs:
The conditions of the countries which
he visited, DIR. NuZum says, are deplor-
able, and no immediate chance for any
change, Moral conditions, especially,
are at low ebb generally, although Ia
some countries IL Is worse than others
Germany is simply over crowded with
people, workingmen work for almost
nothing when they can get work, which
is not more than half the time. The
average wages to a man Is Sl5 per Year

habitante who viii not work even after
they have served their time in the army.

the men ns rule are given 10 taking
life more easily
DIR Nuzam expressed great admira.
iion for the S wiss who ne says, wit" the
NJrwegia3s, are the most industl ious

pie are workers and when they come 70
America they make good citiz5ns swift.

government in Europe and the Swiss
are doing mure for their people than
any other class. They are developing
schools and helping the poor virtues
not found in other countries that he
visited Tbs SRiss work for q living
and every inch of ground in their terri
tory which can be cultivated Is titled.
The Norwegian is equally as hard a
worker as is the German when he gets
chance.

to cay that Italy is the worst The
