road movement III their respective
localities.
This plan appears to be- wholly com
mendable and is an improvement on
the customary method OF having good
road lessons taught chiefly in the farm
schools and agricultural colleges. The
result OF making this special course
in the University will he 10 bring

to train men to spend these millions
properly instead Of wasting large

The Importance OF this case lies not

Mr.. Carey went to work seeking to

that he approached WAS Supt.
