GOOD ROADS

The function of the highway in the
( progress OF siyilizqtion is fundament-
al and far-reaching. The more ono
studies the question, the more he be-
comes convinced Of the truth of the
saying of Charles Gunner. Massa-
chusett's great senator, who forty
years ago gave utterance in a pub
lie address to his belief that "the
wo most potent factors in the advance
ment of civilization are the school
master and good roads"
1t has been in the observation of
travellers throughout the world that.
with the single exception of America,
the condition of the highways was a
fairly good index of the social, moral
and intellectual standard of the people
of any country. France, Germany,

in art, literature and science and here

of his attitude in the local option
election held here July 8, the board
of directors of the Bristol Young
Mems Christian Association asked for
the resignation of President Henry

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
PROVE A SUCCESS

Washington educators and teach
ers are manifesting considerable inter
est in the success CT the so-cailed
"open-air schools and kindergartens
which have this summer been expert
mented with by the authorities of sew
eral New England cities.
The idea Is one borrowed from the
board of education. Of Manchester
England. where several open air schools
for primary pupils are maintained IN
the suburbs Of the city. In effect, the
plan is devised 20 give poor children a
vacation in the country, while at the
same time imparting the regular IN
struction of the city schoolroom-
Companies OF children. accompanied
by a teacher, usually about forty pupils
TO one teacher, are taken TO a conven-
lent spot In the suburbs. where tents
are erected. Regular classes are held
under a large fly tent, and during GER
tain hours the children are permitted
to play in the open, or are conducted
in groups through the neighboring conn
try by the teachers and taught subjects
concerned in nature and plant life
The experiment Of an open-sir school
was first tried by the London, England
county council two years ago. Its sue
cess. according to its projectors, has
been unmistakable, and since its initial
trial experiments have been made ii

It comes TO the equipment OF young

According to the principal, Michael
Dowd. the institutions record FOR the
past year has not been approached by

of training.
In addition TO the sixty-seven odd stu

In July. 1906. twenty-eight pupils out
OF a class OF thirty-three, passed the

July. 1909. no fewer than forty-three
pupils OF this institution passed the

OF trade and business magazines and

room where the students can receive
and entertain their parents and friends
during certain hours.
Strayer's Business College was estab-
lished in Baltimore seventeen years ago.
In 1904 schools were opened up in Wash
ington and Philadelphia, where each of
these schools has met with the most
liberal patronage on the part Of the pub
lie. As II has enlarged its schools from
time, out of appreciation Of the pub
lies approval it will now give these
three cities the very best service that
skill means and expert direction can
supply.
The school wishes to extend an earn
est invitation TO all it's former patrons
and students to visit it's new home.
where they will be cordially received in
the seception room

course In Strayers College, after which
ne took postgraduate course in the
PACKARD School in New York city. Later

College He was made the principal
when the branch was opened in Wash

In addition to the other branches, an
actual office practice department, where
all students will be taught to use every
modern office appliance. including add
ing machines. listing machines, dupl-
eating devices, card indeXing, and filing
cabinets. will be a feature of the new
quarters OF Strayers Business College.
Within the next few days this insti-
tuition will move into the upper floor
OF the old Masonic Temple, Ninth and
streets, which has been remodeled
and renovated and converted into a
modern school The new quarters have
a floor space OF 5000 square feet, and
all Improvements have been used in the
designing Of ventilation and general ar
rangements. The main room is large
and airy, with a sixteen-foOt ceiling.
The floors are covered with linoleum
and the comfort Of the school has been
arranged on scientific principles.
The commercial department will bs

An innovation will be instruction in
the use of the mimeograph, muligraph,

SHORTHAND AN AID
TO ALL STUDENTS

Does shorthand aid the student in
preparing the other work Of the cur
riculum-history. geometry, or any of
the other subjects ne is pursuing? AS
time will not permit of a full discus
sion. history might be cited as an ex-
ample. A student Is required to take
notes from other texts than the one he
is studying; he is required TO listen to
a lecture. take notes and prepare an
abstract.
With the aid Of shorthand this can be
done easily He has an advantage over
his classmates in that he can get a
great part OF the lecture, II not all. in
shorthand. while his friend struggling
with longhand loses a great part and
undoubtedly the important part OF the

DIR. CLARK TELLS OF
GROWTH OF c. T.. MOVEMENT

Portland--Dr. Francis +. Clark,
founder of the Christian Endeavor
movement and president of the inter-
national society, held meetings Sun
day afternoon and evening at the
First Presbyterian church. In the
morning he spoke at the First Con-
gregational church Saturday morn
ing and after noon he addressed the
Christian Endeavor rallies at the
First Congregational. He left last
night for California. Yesterday aft
ernoon the largest meeting was held
and DR.. Clark gave most interesting
talk on the Christian Endeavor move
ment throughout the world. He re-
Gently returned from Endeavor con-
ventions held in England, Norway,
Germany. France and Spain. and said
the movement has spread remarkably
rapidly there.
Particularly impressed was he with
the strength of the Christian En-
deavor in Spain, where so much
Catholicism would lead one TO expec,
very little. The convention was held
at Barcelona and the attendance was
so large that the Sunday meetings
were held in large theater and the
others in a dance hall. The former
SO-year-old chaplain to Queen Isa-
bella was one of the principal speak
ers. He was converted to Protest
antsm Immediately after the abdica-
ton of Isabella.
Where" asked DR.. Clark. "can
the Christian Endeavor not be found?
Many societies were represented in

deaf and dumb asylums, among all
sorts and conditions of men. There
are 1000 Christian Endeavorers in the
prisons of the country today. l need
hardly say they have become Endeav-
orers since their Imprisonment. II Is
gratifying to know that not one of
these men and women who have gone
out of these prisons has gone back.
The Christian Endeavor organization
mas opened its arms wide enough to
take them in. Though some of its
members are behind prison bars thev
are men and women still and should
have the sympathy of human hearts,"

relief was dropped.
The travelling expenses Of the kaiser
OF Germany, which are paid by the
German government, are said to be
about a half million dollars a year,
with further allowance of similar
sum. Even If he wanted to do so,
president Taft could not very well
practice the economies of President
Fallieres, Of France, who receives 50
much more than he. The French pres
ident Is painfully economical. When
he succeeded NJ. Loubet there were
fifteen horses In his stable. All except
ing three were sold by M. Fallieres,
and these are said to be old and de-
crepit. Upon official occasions NJ.
Falleres has been accustomed to hire
horses-even to drive visiting sover-
elgns
One can readily see that Mr.. Taft
cannot do what the private million
aire can-salt away his income. Com
pairing his salary with that Of other
presidents, It does not seem too large

YOU MANUFACTURE FAT?

If 1t were not for the fact that you
add to your fat every day, you would
soon get back to a decent figure.
Each days activities consume some of
your excess. But II is "off with the

twenty-four hours, so that the fat
balance remains unchanged.
Now, people who take Marmola
Prescription Tablets really get thin,
hut harmlessly so, and a hint as to the
reason is given above. They eat and
drink with undisturbet delight as for
merry, and yet they lose, many Of
them, pound day. The reason is
Marmola causes the body to stop
manufacturing useless fat; hence the
body 1t Is introduced into gets thin
ner as matter of course. Each days
activities alone would account for the
delightful result
Check up results from this point of
view and you can really understand
why MaTmola Prescription Tablets
cause no Ill effects or wrinkles, but
oil the contrary, help the stomach and
the appearance. They are natures
allies, not her competitors. This
commends them to all, even the 1imid,
as safe; and since they reduce one
as fast as desirable, that is all that Is
required.

methods of getting thin test this one.
