Good Roads and Good Schools

Good roads have moral, civic and educational value that cannot be measured dollars. Good schools cannot be reached except have good roads. The the roads, the smaller the school district be; the smaller district the poorer the school building and equipment
 In Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio and Indiana, there is average improved road mileage of almost thrty-five per cent more than seventyseven per cent of the children attend school In Alabama, Mississippi. Arkansas. South Dakota and Georgia the figures one-half per and less than sixty per cent, respectively.
 Tn Massachusetts, Connecticut New Jersey Rhode Island the population exceeds 6OO0OOO and there less than 25,5Oo (O.34 per cenD iterate native-born whites, and than fifty per improved road mileage. In Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi Carolina figures are almost S,000,00O population, 375OOO (475 per cent) illiterate native-born whites and only half per improved roads.
 The children of today the electors. the rep resentatives, the senator's the judges, of them the president tomorrow.
 If education means liberty and if poor roads mean lhteracy worse, have a right build good roads, if they would pay themselves well within the generation which builds them?
