 The Auburn Idea of Higher Edueation.
 Auburn from the beginning became scientific or technical school, not school given simply to a one-sidesi. empirIcal education consisting of the study of the application of the results of science to the useful arts; but a school requiring, as a fit preparation training that comes from close study of the historic educational subjects of the languages. and mathematics, a constituting a foundation essential to a liberal education and de- manded by the character of .he col lege.
 Hence, while provision is made for training in the disciplinary and so- called liberal studies. these studies are taught as a means and not as an end. As a means of mental discipline for the better understanding of those subjects of science whose teaching constitutes the main work of the college. The laws of language. the philosophy or

 Entomology.
 In view of the great and constantly increasing importance of a general knowledge of Insect life as 1t affects human welfare in innumerable ways. the course of instruction in entomology has recently beem amplified. The in- struction is given principally through lectures which are supplemented by laboratory and field exercises.
 Chemistry.
 The course fin chemistry and metal lurgy provides for thorough and prac- tical Instruction in pure and technical chemistry and metallurgy, and in the scientific branches relating thereto. Students taking this course also pursue the study of German or French during the junior and senior years, and are thus prepared to utilize for reference and for study scientific journals and works published in those languages.

DOES IT PAY?

We have just been reading "The Nations Drink Bill" which shows an enormous amount of money worse than wasted. not to say anything of the physical and mental wreck it makes among those who drink. We are led to ask the following questions:
 Does it pay to license traffic which lessens the demand for the helpful things of life and diminish the ability to pay for them? Does it pay to license a a traffic which increases taxes by creating a demand for jails, pen itentiaries, asylums, hospitals, aims houses, orphanages, re- formatories, police and criminal courts? Does it pay to maintain national quarantine against criminal and dependent classes from abroad, and license 25O, ,OOO saloon keepers to manufacture such products at home?
 Oh, Friends, does it pay to employ teachers to teach the children the evil effect of alcohol upon the human system, and then license men to sell a thing that infames the stomach, har- dens the brain, softens and weakens the blood vessels, over works the heart, aims the eye, dulls the hearing, diseases the throat, lungs, kidneys, liver, nerves and muscles, the demand for which is wholly artificial, and when supplied serves no good purpose? Let us learn to do bet ter things.

throughout each month of the year. covering all kinds
Of weather and road conditions.
The report shows that traffic over stone or gravel
roads was fairly uniform throughout the year, while
upon the earth roads it was subject to the widest varia-
tons. The following figures are significant and tell
more forcibly how great is the burden of bad roads
than anything else can possibly do.
The Clear Lake earth road leading into Springfield,
Illinois, showed an average traffic for four days In
March, 1906 Of 65h vehicles per day. Over the same
road in June and July the average was 3s9 vehicles!
On the same days in Peoria, so miles away, under the
same weather conditions but over a hard road, the
traffic for March was 166, and the average for June and
July 153.
Observations at Champaign over an earth road
showed the average for January, February and March
to be SO, as against 200 for September and October. The
count at Decatur over a gravel road was March and
April. 240; July and August, 27S. Over an earth road
leading into Sullivan, the count for January, February
and March was 81; August and September, BIG.
At Elgin on a hard road. the report showed 100
for March, and an average for June and July OF 154.
At bingham on an earth road, March and April, los;
August and September, S99. At Centralia over an
earth road, Mar oh, %; June, 1877. Think OF this.
While delivering an address upon good roads, the
writer was once interrupted and asked II ne Wouid

roads. He answered that he certainly would, as the
annual tax would probably not exceed 10 or 10 cents
and he gave the following illustration OF how bad ROADS
burden the people: A woman goes into a grocery
store for a dozen eggs and a pound Of butter. When
told the prices, she protests. The grocer in defense,
says: "Well, you see, madam, the roads are so bad now,
very few farmers are coming to town, so outter anu
eggs are scarce" She pays three cents more Ior
the eggs and four cents more for the butter, and this
seven cents represents her. bad road tax paid that
evening. This Is repeated from time to time through.
out the year. not only in her case but in hundreds OF
others in that town and in thousands OF towns through
out the length and breadth Of the land. There ID no
doubt that the woman in question would benent through
good roads by at least ten times the amount of the tax
on her cottage.
There is another misconception that Is widespread
and Is holding back road improvements, and that Is
that a permanent stone or gravel road cannot be sue
cessfully built upon the rich black loan soil OF the
Mississippi valley. We sometimes hear Of parties who
have tried it and in a few years the stone or gravel
has sunken into the mud out Of sight. Any experienced
engineer knows that there Ia no difficulty whatever In
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-05-08

imagine the state would take control of the highways,
build expensive roads and tax the people to pay for
them; others that it Is a scheme to force road building
against the wishes Of the farmers. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. The state does not In any
manner, under a state aid law. interfere with the abb
solute local control Of the highways. The voters Of
every township decide whether any roads shall be i'm
proved, what roads, to what extent, when 1t shall be
done. If at all. The state has absolutely no voice in the
matter. If, however, the township, by a majority vote,
decides to build a road under the state aid plan, it
makes application to the state for that purpose; the
state engineer thereupon visits the locality, goes over
the road proposed to be improved with the local author
tiles, and decides upon the character Of the improve
ment best suited to the conditions. He then prepares
plans and specifications and when these are approved
by the highway commissioners or other properly consti-
tuted local authorities, the contract is let to the lowest
responsible bidder and the work is then done under the
supervision of the state engineer. This insures proper
construction and that means durability and low cost
to maintain the road afterward.
Under a state aid law not a rod Of road could be
built unless the residents Of a township decided to do
so. Not a dollar Of state money could be expended
unless the farmers who live in the rural township
voted for improvements.
If it should be alleged that state aid was a plan to
compel railroads. corporations, merchants and manu-.
facturers to help build the roads, it would not be far
from the truth. Under state aid the farmers control the
situation; If they decide to improve the roads the other
people are obliged to help pay the bill.
In order to build roads cheaply they should be
built extensively. 1t costs a great deal more proper
tionately to build a half mile of road than it does to
build ten half miles. No contractor cares for a small
job but for a large one competition is keen. 1t takes
just as much time and bother to get ready to build half
a mile of road as it does to build ten miles. By build
ing in the larger quantities from 20 to 20 per cent. in
cost Of construction can be saved.
As roads properly built will last for a great many
years they should be built as school houses and court
houses are built, viz: by a bond issue; thus a township
under state aid could build 10, Is or 20 miles Of roads
in one year, have the roads to use, and spread the pay
ment of the same over say 10 or 20 years. If this IL
done and the state aid plan prevails, there will be very
little, If any, increase in taxation.
