An old fashioned woman who
sometimes complains of fads in
the public schools has am opera
bag and a letter marked Exhibit
Nos. 1 and g." which she shows
without comment to defenders of
the system. The opera bag is
made of soft burned leather elab-
orately monogramed and befring-
ed. The letters reads:
"Dear Aunt. I had expected to
get up to see you during the
holidays but was disappointed.
This is my secon year in High
School and am literally rushed to

There are more bad roads | the
United tastes than anywhere else
in the civilized world. It's the ratio
of good roads to bad that counts,
and by that test we fall to the rear
of the procession of mathis. We,
who lead the world in enterprise
and push go about our bust
uess hampered by the worst roads
on earth
Now, however, it begins to look
as though the era of bad Amerl-
can roads We're drawing TO close.
The grangers are be ginning to
consider the problem seriously. In
the last analysis, the farmer is
the individual upon whom it de-
wolves to raise the standard of
our highways. The auto scoroh-
ers may shout till they are black
in the face and the auto manu-
facturers spread printers ink
like water, but until the farmer
comes across there can't be
much doing in the matter of road
improvement.
The fact is that the influence
Of the auto upon road building
has been much overestimated. AL
so the claims of the auto for
consideration in the road build
ing program have been grossly ex-
aggerated. 1t Is true that the
advent of the auto gave the in
itial impetus that has blossomed
into the good roads movement
that is now on, but what is the
auto as compared with the horse
Look at the cold figures. There
are 100000 autos in the country.
They make a brave show, big
Ismell, a deal of noise and a mighty
cloud of dust, but when we come
down to brass tacks and compare
them with the draft animals of the
country they look Insignificant.
Less than per cent of the traffic
of the country is motor propelled.
There are 100000 horse
drawn vehicles in the country.

To the Editor of the Times:
The problem of distributing the
Ninth A and B grades in the
South End has lately arisen in the
board of education.
The decision reached by them is
to the effect that some, if not all,
of the Ninth B grades go to the
old High school, and the Ninth A
grade will remain in South Ia
coma.
l do not wish to criticise the
members of the board unkindly,
for l know they are often puzzled
in settling the many questions
arising from the ever-increasing
number of pupils-but l cannot
make it seem fair that the present
Ninth A should have another term
at South Tacoma, when the Ninth
B stands ready to succeed them.

must be not merely motor road,

Thus far, the arrogance and
