 In the same number Supt. Free man E. Lurton, of Anoka, Minn., pre- sents a study of retardation of school children in the smaller towns of Min nesota. Backwardness in school al ways means the repeating of school work The money cost of repeaters is considerable. Supt, Lurton calcu- lates it at over a million dollars an- nually for the state of Minnesota alone.

PULLMAN ACTIVE ON HIGHWAY PLAN County May Hold Election for Bond Issue of
 $400,000 z

Cullman. September S.-(special.)-
 Activity in the matter of bettering the
 condition of the Cullman county roads
 is beginning to be apparent. From
 every section of this county comes the
 report that the people are anxiously
 awaiting developments that will ul-
 timately lead to building of a system
 of roads all over the county.
 A meeting will be held in Cullman
 next Saturday, at which time plans will
 be made preparatory to the commence
 ment of road building It is under
 stood that there is only one way in
 which the roads can be constructed
 successfully, and that is by bond is-
 sue. The proposed issue would be
 $4oo. 900. This matter is now being
 brought to the attention of the peo-
 pie throughout the county and is meet
 ing with approval. It will be remem-
 bered that this matter was voted on
 in this county three years ago, at which
 time the bond issue was repudiated. Since that time the people have been
 better Informed as to road building and |
 and it is now believed that bond issue will carry by large majority.
 The Commercial club of this city at it's last meeting decided that the next
 meeting held by that body should be devoted to that matter altogether. This organization has been power in bringing about sentiment for road f nf the business men connected with that organization to go after the roads with more energy now than it ever has.
 The Good Roads association of Ala bama has been another important factor in creating sentiment for roads in this section of the state. Scouting parties and enthusiasts for roads from othef sections of Alabama have cen tered much of their efforts on this county, and these, with the good work that is being done by the home people is now beginning to tell. Cullman coun- ty is at great disadvantage in the matter of material. Unlike many of the other counties, Cullman has no natural resources of this nature of her own, and all the material with which roads in this county could be built must neces- sarily be shipped here from Birming- ham and other points. This, of course. necessitates an expenditure of money in excess of any county where athe same amount of roads might be built with their own material, and for this req son it is necessary that this amount of
 bonds be issued in order to built sat isfactory system of roads.
 Although the chances for carrying
 the county for bonds are far better at this time than if has ever been before vet, even' now. the matter will meet with some opposition. There is con- siderable prejudice to the automobile | However, the leaders are very optim- 1 istic over the outlook, and they be- I lieve that before another six months
 work will have commenced on the pike roads in Cullman county.
