EVENING SCHOOLS FOR FOREIGN.
B0RN.

BORN.
The recent rapid growth of the indus
trial life of the Vermont town of Spring
Geld has brought a great many people
Of foreign birth into the community,
mostly Russians and Polanders The
assimilation of large number Of foreign
people by so small community as
Springfield is constitutes tremendous
task; but the school board of the village
has gone about the duty assiduously by
establishing night school for the enroll
ment of the newcomers, so that in the
6rst place they may learn the language
which they will be expected to use and
then become acquainted with the form
of government. If the Russians and the
Polanders are any like the many other
people who find their homes in the Unit
ID States, then the new evening school
1t Springfield will prove very popular,
Tor the foreigners, as a rule, are eager
to pick up knowledge of their new Ian
guage and their new country and they
appreciate the efforts made to enlighten
hem. In providing the school, Spring
ield is to be commended 1t will be
certain to find the reward in a lesser
percentage of illiteracy and in greater
devotion to the form Of government
which the people of foreign birth have

makes APPEAL
FOR GOOD ROADS
Chase s. 0sbor1i's Letter Is Read at
Grand Rapids Convention by
Horatio s. Earle.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May H.
A strong recommendation that the
work Of building and maintaining
good roads In Michigan be pushed,
Was contained In the letter from
Chase s. Osborn. which Former Com
missioner Horatio s. Earle read at
the good roads convention here today.
Mr. Osborn was unable to attend the
meeting, and selected the original
good roads man." as he calls Mr.
Earle. to read his communication. II
says I'm part:
Good roads can be had during this
present generation and that without
being overtaxed. Nothing has ever
been done in this country Of ours but
what We with our additional educa-
ton and resources can more than
equal
In 1893 the county ysad system
was provided for Michigan. and my
county. Chippewa, was one of the
first to adopt IL. We have never re-
GREETED doing 80, for II opened up new
farming sections equal to any In the
state. and furnished means OF trans
porting the crops raised thereon to
railroad stations and to boat wharves,
thus benefiting farmers. dealers, ship
pers. laborers and taxpayers general
ly.
AT least one thousand miles OF
good roads have been built In the
state within the last Ave years, Ave
hundred and twenty-five miles OF
which have been constructed under
the direction OF the state highway
department, and all of this with par
simonious appropriations such as
other states would consider hardly
sufficient to run state highway de-
partment alone, without paying a
dollar for state aid.
IL believe Michigan should econo-
mize In departments which have no
other object In view than to give
political positions TO the faithful, but
there should be no scrimping In the
appropriations for state reward roads.
II suggest that In order to ascer-
tain whether or not the people Of the
state are In favor Of working convicts
on the roads, the next legislature give
the voters of the state an opportun-
ity OF registering their opinion at the
April election In 1911, and IL goodly
majority Of them vote Yes" then that
same legislature pass a law along the
lines OF the one in force In Colorado,
and give TO the counties operating un-
der the county road system, the right
to use the labor OF convicts to inn
prove their roads, the counties so
using them to care for the prisoners
while employed therein"

PONTIAC GROCER IS VICTIM
OF ODD MENTAL LAPSE
,cont,nued from pax. one,


his Office He asked to speak to Mr.
Rodgers In private, and informed him
that he wanted to tell him story
which would be hard to believe, and
was beyond his own understanding.
Then he narrated the story, as told
above. He had no recollection OF how
he reached Cuba, or OF any Of the
places through which he must have
passed on his journey. His hat bore
the trace mark of a merchant Of
Miami. Florida, showing that he must
have stopped there. He did not conn.,
plain of any suspicion that he had been
robbed OF his money. or had met with
foul play, but thought that he had
probably spent 1t. while In sub=cOr-
scious state OF mind, for the expenses
of his strange journey.
He told Consul Rodgers that he had
been afflicted for some time with ner-
vous indigestion, and had been In
state bordering on collapse for some
time as the result OF overwork. He
said that since his return to full con-
sciousness he felt well, and wished to
get back home and go to work agair.
Consul Rodgers promptly cabled to
Mark Fisher, In Pontiac, and the latter
sent 500 for his brothers. return. Mr..
Rodgers purchased the transportation,
an outfit Of suitable clothing, and ar
ranged the return trip.
Fisher did not wander far from the
consulate until Il was time for his re.
turn journey. He seemed TO fear q
return of the strange mental lapse. He
told Mr.. Rodgers that he could not
imagine why his unconscious journey
should have led him to Cuba, as he
had no interests there, nor had he ever
been particularly interested in the
island
