RoYg AND elRLs CLUBS.

The Importance OF the boys and
gfrls' club movement as affecting the
rural school Is discussed in a recent
report by A. C. Monahan Of the United
States bureau Of education. Mr.. Mona
han points out that the clubs are at
present more eloBely identified with
the schools than ever before, and that
their work Is becoming a more definite
part OF the school program. The ire
mendous Influence Of these clubs In
aid Of better farming, better living
conditions, and better schools, Is
therefore exerted as part Of the move
ment to make the rural school the real
center Of rural civilization.
After showing how the clubs are
organized through the school authori-
ties, Mr.. Monahan speaks particularly
Of the girls garden and canning clubs,
which In an Incredibly short time
have assumed an Importance second
only TO the betterknown boys' corn
clubs. Furthermore, while the govern
ment's activities In behalf Of the clubs
have until recently been confined
mainly to tho south, they are now ex-
tended to the northern and western
states. Boys and girls agricultural
clubs are now organized under nation
al auspices In most Of the states.
These newer clubs are organized In
much the same way as in the south,
except that they will be in closer con
nection with the state colleges Of agri.
culture. The work has been planned
directly for the farm and home, rather
/ than for the school, but in most In,
stances 1t Is carried on through the
agency Of the school, and may there,
fore be made an integral part Of the
educational work by the school au-
/ tloriies.

number Of other agencies are at WORT

Bueiness Conditions.

Stocks are tunbling, wheat and corr
sag little day by day;
Brokers sit around forlorn
While the tickers tick away;
Poor old Wall street has the blues
People cease to risk their~ cash;
Judging from the market news,
Everything has gone to smash.
Day by day the bulls and bears
Coax the lambs, but coax in vain;
Always in the grain belt there's
Too much rain or lack Of rain;
Dolefnl brokers sit and doze,
All the markets are upset:
But there's lots of work for those
Who are earning what they get.
Congress still investigates,
Finding much that isn't right;
London cables money rates
Are too easy or too tight;
Everything has gone to smash,
So the dismal prophets claim,
But the ones who earn their cash
Keep on working, just the same.

Mesn icN1a Road Iasr

Engineering Record The recent
change In the highway laws of Iowa,
briefly summarized on page &c, IL Sig
niacant Of the new attitude toward
highway construction throughout the
United States. The supervision OF the
development and maintenance OF Iowa
roads. costing 81 ,5G0. 900 per snnuns,
was. under the former highway law,
largely IN the hands Of farmers and
tradeamen who were Without direction
and unfamiliar with the technique Of
road construction Their public duties
as road supervisors were secondary to
their private interests. THE resuifs
we're Just what might have been ex-
pectsd large suma were wasted an
nualIy.
The new Law differs radically from
much recent highway legislation In
that It does not grant state aid and
Iayoids the idiocy Of long term high
way bonds. The new highway board
| has Supervisory functions only. but OF
such a character as presageg succesg-
full work. Each county applies the
funds from its own assessments 10
roads within It's own borders, thus
eliminating the personal interest of
the people in the efficient expenditure
o. their money. The correlation Of
jtbeae roads into state system IL to
ne secured by the supervisory and
veto powers of the highway commits
sion, but the responsibility for the
lseiectfon Of an engineer to design,
construct and maintain the reads
rests upon the shoulders OF the coun-
lty board Of supervisors
Especially important is the exclus-
Ion of bond issues. already referred to,
and the limiting Of expenditures TO
funds raised by assessment In this
respect. In particular, the law de-
serves to be copied far and wide.
lTowans have the satisfaction of know
Ing that even II the roads disappear In
fifteen years they viii not be left
with thirty-fye years OF interest and
sinking fund charges to embitter the
remembrance
4 There is one respect, however, In
which the Law is disappointing IT
gives the state highway commission
mo supervision over maintenance Sc
much emphasis has been placed on
the subject 10 recent years that one
would expect adequate maintenance
to be provided for In Law SO well
Thought out as to other particulars as
is the Iowa legislation. AS the meas
ure stands, however, maintenance Il
left entirely with the county officials
and with them, therefore, will res,
ultimately the value Of the roads nc
matter how excellent the personnel

troll over design and construction
The provisions as to township road
