"Good Roads Add to
Education and Intellect.

Waco, Tex. Before the Texas
Mothers Congress, which recent.
ly met here, R. E. Toms. United
States highway engineer, deliv-
cred an address on the value OF
good roads to a community in the
improvement they wroughtin the
schools. Among other things,
Engineer Toms said:
THE advantages of good roads
have been carefully computed
and estimated in dollars and
cents, and so enormous have they
been found to be that they pre-
sent a convincing argument for
their improvement. The pecuni-
airy benefits, however, sink into
insignificance when compared
with the social, moral and intel
lectual advantages advantages
which cannot be measured by any
money standard, but must mani
fest themselves in the elevation
of our citizenship and the moral
and intellectual advancement of
our people.
Improved roads have a good
influence because they permit an
easier intercourse between the
people in the cities. They facil-
itate rural free delivery, where
by the farmer is able to receive
his daily paper and magazine and
keep in touch with the social, DO
litical and commercial activities
of the nation They develop a
better social and intellectual con-
dition by bringing the people in
close touch with their schools and
churches.
Most of our cities and towns
have good streets and driveways
which facilitate business and rec
reation and bring the schools and
churches within easy reach of
all. Contrast the lot of the coun-
try child on its way to school in
winter to that of it's city cousin

street to walk. The country child

1.-The results that have been
accomplished by the various CIV
ic organizations in identifying
our cities and Transforming the
waste places into attractive parks,
bear evidence of what can be
done by the contrast and tireless
efforts of the mothers and dau-
ghters of our country, and when
such organizations as these, un-
dismayed by indifference and I'M
daunted by lack of means, direct
their energy and attention to

before school opens in order to

usually not in good condition in

| "The report of the United
States bureau of education shows
that in the year 1909 there was
"a, 900, 900 children in the United
States of school age, but that on

count of bad roads.
I'm Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, Ohio and In
diana, states which have a large
mileage of improved roads, the
average attendance of enrolled
pupils during the year 1908 1909
was 80 per cent, while in ,Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Geor-
gia and South Dakota, states
which are conspicuous for bad
roads, the average attendance for
the same year was only GA per

That improved roads would
revolutionize our country school
system there would seem to be
no doubt, the era of the remote,
barren, one-room schoolhouse has
passed, and they are rapidly CIV

raj school. This means the merg-
ing of a number of schoolhouses,
giving us a more complete, bet

attractive social and educational
institution.
THE compaign for the aboli-

the delightful music rendered by
that Well-knoWn organization at the
several band concerts given in, Lou
isiana Square during the past few
weeks, and which are to be contin-
ued throughout the summer. So far
the band has furnished its services
free Of charge, and no demand has
been made for any monetary recon-
pense by the musicians or their lead
er, but it is not right nor reasonable
to expect the band to continue to- give
concerts for the entire summer with
out remuneration, and in order tC
raise an amount that will in some
measure recompen5e the members
for their services, the Woman's Civ
ic League, who have been instrument
tai in presenting the concerts, have
hit upon the idea Of giving an en-
tertainment at the opera house which
will afford everybody an opportunity
TO contribute to the worthy fund at
small cost. The program will COM
prise moving pictures, songs by Mes
danes Ferdinand and Walter Lemann
and G. P. Putnam, and vaudeville
specia1ties. by little Misses Anna
and Clara Cobb, Agnes Landry and
other talented amateurs. The per,
Torrance will begin at o'clock, and
the prices of admission will be only
cents for children and 10 cents for
adults.

ment of the paper in 1871 to the

tnoughtfulness and courtesy, haf

on Mr.. Reuss' part is greatly .appre-

Peiicans Nab Another.

The Pelicans annexed another
scalp last Sunday afternoon, when
they put the Indian sign on the
much-touted Napoleonville team by
the one-sided count of Z to J., The
pastime was pulled off at Cleveland
Park, and was featured by the bril-
liant playing of Hugh Leblanc at sec
ond for the birds. and Robert Pre-
jean at short. AL the locals played
nice ball, andbalhe battery work Of
Dugas and CT Ii was as classy as
usual. The bids outhit, outfielded
and generally outpIayed the visitors,
but the latter made a good showing
at that, and put up a great game for
five innings. In the last three rounds
the Pelicans tunableu to Talbot's de-
livery and pounded the pill all over
the lot, scoring seven runs. The AS
symphonies chalked UP their lone
tally in the opening period, as the
result Of an error. Talbot toed the
rubber for the doWn-the-bayou. boys,
and Ed. Prejean and Guillot took
turns in performing at the other end
Of the firing line. A fair-sized crowd
witnessed the game, but, as usual,
the attendance was not in any mea-
sure commensurate with the merit
of the sport.
Tomorrow afternoon the fans will
be offered a game that, from every
angle Of the dope, is certain to prove
thriller. The speedy Whitecastle
team, reinforced will, a battery from
New Orleans, will come down to do
battle with the doughty Pelicans, and
as the fiercest kind of rivalry exists
between the two aggregations, a hair
raising struggle is assured. The
IberVille lumber town is always rep
resented on the diamond by a nifty
bunch of ball-tossers, and this years
team is said to compare favorably in
every department with its predeces-
sors of lIIusu,ous record. The pas
time will begin at $3.50 o'clock, and
Indications are that the largest
crowd Of the season win be on hand
to enjoy the fireworks.

slight wound in the hand which the
