GOOD ROADS TRAIN.
Unique Travelling Educaffonni ED
tcrprise Managed by Govern

What might be called "A school or

with corps of teachers on board. and
a quantity Of material to help Illus
trnte with object lessons the instruc-
ticn given to the people along the
route.
This travelling educational enterprise
occupies a train of a dozen cars, two
of which are fitted up in hotel fashion
for the accommodation of the staff OF
instructors and their assistants. while
the other vehicles are fiat ears loaded
with an extraordinary variety of pom
dersus machinery. In fact, such
weiohty and elaborate outfit for
school purposes was never seen be-
fore in the world; and as the caravan
moves along through the sunny south
land the inhabitants may well be as
tonished. II is like a circus without
the animals comparison by no
means intended to be disrespectful, in
asmuch as the affair is in reality of
very serious Importance and practical
value, being designed for the purpose
of encouraging the movement in be-
half of coed roads.
This peripatetic school is organized
somewhat On the model of a kinder
garten Ali the people along The route
who will come and be taught are its
pupils, and classes run from 500 20
5000 in number. At each stopping
place lessons are given in the art of
building roads. from half a mile to n
mile and a half of first-class dirt road,
gravel read or stone road being con.
structed. The kind chosen depends on
the material at hand: If the stuff Is
available, n sample of each is built
There could be no more simple and ef
fectiye means for conveying substan
