best composition, not 70 exceed 800 words,

be submitted to Mr.. Page before May

soon thereafter as the compositions can
be graded. The composition may be based
on knowledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be made.
After many years exHerience in deal
ing with the public read situation OF the
country, II is Mr.. Pages belief that ignor-
ance on the subject Of repair and main
finance Of roads is as much the cause OF
their bad condition as any other one fac
tor. 1t is expected that the competition
win bring about better understanding OF
the subject of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvantages
on roads made impossible through lack
of proper maintenance, and it is expected
that their interest in ske competition VIII
stimulate greater interests among the pa
rents. Ead roads have prevented many
children from obtaining a proper eduea-

from reaching the side of rural patients
