4 COLD MEDAL FOR
SCHOOL boy OR GIRL
Will be Offered by United States De-
partment of Agriculture
at Washington.

A gold medal to the school boy o.
girl between the ages of 10 and l;
who writes the best composition, no
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, i:
to be awarded by Logan Waller
Page, director, Office of Public
Roads, United States Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, D. C. All
compositions must be submitted to
Mr.. Page before May Is, 1913, and
the medal will be awarded as soon
thereafter as the compositions can
be graded. The composition may be
based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quo
tations should be made
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
ton of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor. 1t
is expected that the competition will
bring about a better understanding
of the subject of repair and main
tenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the dis
advantages of roads made impass-
able through a lack of proper main
tenance and it is expected that
their interest in the competition
will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children from OBJ
tanning proper education and haveE
even prevented doctors from reach
ling the side of rural patients in
time ito save their lives
Any child between the ages men
TONED, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on each page
should be numbered; the name age;1
and address of the writer, and thel
name and location of the school
which he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top of the
first page. The announcement of the
has been sent to ahe SUI
of schools in the rural
districts No further inforna ton
can be obtained from the Utice of
Public Roads at Washington This
announcement should be plain 70 ev-
sryoIre, and all children win thus
start on a basis of equality.
