in addition to the "object lessons" is included series of lectures by rep resentatives of the office of public roads in localities where the need of good roads Is most apparent. During the year '1S5 lectures were given in twenty y-ni9e States, as against 200 lectures delivered the previous year This decrease for assistance of this cnaracter on the part of the people. but rather to the necessity of with drawing engineers from the lecture platform to supervise the actual work These lectures were not given for en- tertainment but to educate those who have to do with the construction of roads and the administration of public highway affairs. The advisory work of the office also includes the intro- duction of model systems" accom- panied with special advice and in- spection.
 The work in connection with the model system" involves assignments under which an engineer of the office examines the entire road system of a county. its available materials. and other phases of the road situation in the county in question. The engineer then prepares and submits to the county authorities a detailed and comprehensive report. with advice as to the best methods and materials. Five counties fin various States were assisted In this way during the last year.
 The office of public roads also co-operated with the forest service in the location of mountain and desert trails: with the United States geolo- gical surveys of several States in the investigation of road materials: with the American Society for Testing Ma terials, in standardizing tests for road materials and with the Postoffice De- pertinent in the inspection and im- provement of rural free delivery routes.
 The report concludes with the state ment that the. demand for skilled road engineers shows no abatement, :. and that the success attendiggandhe, in- structIon given in the office of public roads has led to the introduction of highway engineering in many technical schools and colleges.
