mount in interest with the people
of every county in the state. In
that address, DR.. Hatfield stated
his views on this issue of such
great Importance to the people at
the present time, and destined to
play most important part in the
forthcoming administration, Of
which he is expected to be chosen
by an overwhelming majority to
be the executive head
DR.. Hatfield spoke to the great
audience assembled in Phillips
Grove, as follows:
1T has been reliably and au-
thoritatively stated that more
than forty million dollars are
wasted on public roads, or at
least. improperly expended, in
the United States annually,
through lack of skill and knowl-
edge of how to construct roads, as

Grafton on the part OF the execu-
tors to whose lot it falls, as Of
fcials of the county or districts,
TO expend the road fund which
comes into their hands for dis
position. This, coupled on to an
inadequate law and system to gov
ern the entire mechanism of road
building, West Virginia has borne
its proportion Of this tremendous
waste of energy by the lack of
proper consideration being given
by US all on this all-important
momentouS question, of which so
much has been said lately by pub
lie men, and especially those con-
nected with our schools, concern
ing the Improvement of condi-
tons in the rural districts. So far
they have urged, first, the import
ance of the common schools; sec
ond, agricultural and extension
work. Each of these have their
merits, and they must, of neces-
sity, play an important part in
any general improvements in
rural district conditions, but they
have overlooked the important
fact that the fullest benefit can be
derived from neither OF these
sources in the absence OF roads,

rural citizen; in fact, ii seems to
me that the theory for the uplift

This, to my mind, is the best pos

tirely by convict labor. No fewer
than SO states have adopted law
favoring this plan OF working
those who are incarcerated in our
prisons. 1t has been found that
a convict will do practically as
much, work in a day as a free
laborer, and that the cost OF
guarding and maintenance on the
highway is actually less than the
cost OF maintenance and guarding
in Jail. In addition to this class
of people being given outdoor
work to do, thereby maintaining
their vigor and strength, you pre-
vent them from competing with
skilled labor, the class Of work

ance of the standard OF wages,

ind iaSEher, BY the internin-
Cling 81 the two principles, i. E,
good reads and education; the
boys and girls can be prepared
in the most remote rural districts
for our university, at the least
possible cost to their parents.
This is a practical proposition,
the solution OF which lies in your
hands and mine, and will add
more to the happiness of the
homes of the yeomanry Of West
Virginia, and at the same time
increase the value OF the farmers
land, and make a prosperous citi-
zen and the farm life in our state
worth while, and increase the
standard OF citizenship in educa-
ton, which is the solution TO
economic and social ills, far more
productive in results than all the
legislation. In fact, this eleva-
ton will do away. with 50 much
legislation, for it is education, not
legislation, that should be the slo-
gan OF this age;
you will find with these ae-
complishments your schools with
better attendance, assures, the
grouping of schools, under one
management, thereby rendering
EXPENSES very much lower, and at
the same time increasing the Ell
fciency Of the schools.
with these two accomplish
ments go your agricultural and
horticultural extension work. We
could have practical farming.
brought direct home to the farm
er, with the most improved meth
DDS of farming demonstrated on
his own plantation. This would,
indeed, be a great accomplishment
to the farmer who has never had
the benefit of course in agri-
culture. With this condition ac-
complished, the farmer, by actual
demonstration in his presence,
puts these principles into exeeu-
ton, to the betterment of his own
condition and thereby contributes
his part to the advancement OF
agriculture, and in no other way
can he get it. The agricultural
department Of the University is
doing a great good, but it could
accomplish so much more if sur
rounded by these accomplish
ments,
.We. would then have roads
leading to the cities, and the
work of this field of industry,
over which the results Of this ag-
ricultural extension could be car
ried in the shape of increased
product, and at time when it
would be most profitable to the
farmer, and the money for farm
products would be kept at home.
While today we are sending our
capital, by millions, into other
states, and even crossing the At
lantic ocean for products OF the
soil which can be grown in West
Virginia just as we'll as any place
on earth. 1t is fact that three
