How to Build Good Roads.


From The Shreveport Times.
II we are to build good roads IN
this State we must get down TO
the concrete facts. We must stop
theorlzlng and experimenting, aud,
above all, we must learn that pro-
crastlnatlon brings US no nearer a
solution of the problems connected
with the work 10 be done.
The very first thing we must re-
alIze is that In order TO get good
roads we will have to spend money.
Not only that, but we will have TO
spend more money for this work
than great many other States are
required to spend. The material
for building the KIND of roads We
need Can mol be had except at con-
siderable expense. We shall have
to go to that expense. But aside
from the fact that it will be a good
arrangement even then, is it not
fact that we spend mole on our
roads IN ten years, under the old
system, than it would take to build
permanent highways? Improving
dirt roads is all right. Good re-
suits are TO be seen from the work
done in the parish under the sys-
tenn adopted few years ago; but
there is no end to this work nor to
the expense that 1t entails. A dirt
road may be improved thus year SO
as to make it fairly good road,
but 1t will not stay improved.
Within twelve months, under ordl-
nary conditions, the same work
will have to be done over, and at
the same expense. The expense of
keeping that road In good condl-
ton would in ten years almost pay
for permanent road.

Register Your Children.

The school census is mater Of
'nore than ordinary Importance.
The apporlionmcnt Of the Stale
public school fund to the several
parishes Is based upon the number
of educable children in the State.
Ii the census from any one parish
is incomplete. that parish is not
getting all that 1t is entitled to. It
is an easy matter for the parents or
guardians OF children to see that
they are properly and promptly
registered. If this is universally
done the parish will be entitled TO a
larger apportionment of the public
school fund, which will enable the
parish school board to give more
schooling.
The parish school board, in its
effort to make fair and equitable
distribution of the funds TO each
ward, will be greatly aided by such
registrations. Ii some ward be.
comes energetic and registers all
the children in the ward, that
ward will get all it is entitled to
under the law. II on the other
hand, any ward is negIectfuI in this

MadisonvilIe ls one OF the oldest
towns ln east Louisiana, and that
II Is not better known Is because Its
residents heretofore have been sat
lsfied TO let we'll enough alone.
However, a change has come over
the spirit of it's dream, and this
town Is working TO the greatest of
It's resources. Having an ideal stu
alton, with the spirit of progress
siveness that has now been started,
Madlsonvllle is destined to become
one of the leading towns OF Loulsl-
ana.
For the past few years young
blood has been infused into the
municipal administration, and the
result of their efforts Is noted ev-
ery where. The work at first met
with obstacles; but the spirit of
progress seems now TO perVade the
whole popuIace. As a result, the
town is rapidly reaplng the re-
wards that attend an up-to-date
people.

ing town of HouIlonyiLle, the
