The Good Road Did It.

What does good roads mean to
a rural school? What does a
good road mean to a rural COM
munity socially?
A certain township in southeast
Kansas saw fit to construct two
miles of rock road from a small
town south through a rural dis
trict. Six children of school age
lived on farms adjacent t thOe
to the rock road, and six ON the
same length o road in the west
part Of the school district. The
earth road was in poor condition
most OF the time.
The Children on the good road
went to city schools, walking
most of the time. The children
on the almost impossible earth
road went to a rural school. At
that time the instruction in the
town school was not any better
than the rural school, in the COM
mon branches. The city school
was not what it Ought to have
been. The rural school was not
ed for its excellent instructors.
Two o the children living on
the rock road are now sOhop
mOreS In agricultural colleges.
two are seniors in high school.
and two are freshmen in high
school. All TO them are inter-
ested in agriculture, will graduate
from agricultural courses, and re-
turn to the farm.
Two children living adjacent
to the earth road finished the ru-
rad school. Their interest in
education was balanced against
the almost impossible condition
OF the road the greater part of
the school year. Now they are
hardly average farmers. -Four be-
came discouraged and quit the ru
raj school before they were grad
uated. Three of them are day
laborerS in a nearby town. The
fourth is owner of a small restau-
rant in the same town.
The children of the rock road
walked to church, Sunday School,
and lectures, and attended the so
cial events in town and in the
country adjacent to the rock road
1t hardly seems possible that a
stretch of two to four miles of
poor road would make such a
difference in ones life, does it,
But it did.-KanSaS InduStriaiSt.
