The university started the game with
a rush and had the better of the argu-

teams came back fighting, the Aggies
getting a little the best of the argu-
ment and evening h score, Then for
ten minutes the score see-sawed back
and forth.
With three minutes to play the score

time the u. band started to play the

Schalk handled Walsh's offerings in

ing widely agitated and is of espec-
ial interest to Delaware because of
the appropriations made by the
last legislature for the building and
maintenance of roads in the State.
The following illustrated lecture,
delivered at the Summer School by
Mrs. A. II. Reeves of Moorestown,
n. J.. is of timely interest. Mrs.
Reeves is connected with the Office
of Public Roads which is under the
direction of the Department of
Agriculture.
AS illustrations Of actual in-
stances carry more weight than
mere theories, over 100 pictures
were shown of actual examples of
good and bad roads, the majority Of
which are located in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Del
aware. as being more suited to the
requirements of Delaware.
The speaker considered the sub
iect in its many phases and pre-
sented her plea and arguments IN
favor Of better roads III a very con-
vincing manner.
First and as of most importance,
the relation of roads and school at
tendance was shown. 1t was prov
en- that roads had the greatest effect
on rural school attendance; that
while in districts where roads were
unilnDroved the attendance in bad
weather dropped to almost nothing,
in communities with good roads II
was affected very slightly.
But the results Of bad roads IS
more far reaching than this: it re
suits in a greater percentage OF IL
literacv in rural districts than i'll
towns. where sidewalks and streets
afford. easy access to the schools. 1t
was shown that the percentage OF
illiterate persons is in direct ratio
to the percentage Of improved
roads: that while in a number Of
southern states where only 112 per
cent of the total mileage of roads Is
improved illiteracy is many times
greater than in Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut. Rhode Island, and other
leading states. where 30 per cent
Of the roads are improved.
Furthermore. bad roads are the
cause Of many farmers moving to
the cities that their children may
have the advantages Of better edu-
cational and social facilities. The
social side is a highly important
feature Of country life and deserv,
ing Of much consideration. Lack
Of social life and recreation in
rural districts is accountable for a
large percentage Of cases OF msan'
lily.
Country churches, very lmpor'
4ant feature IN rural social me
have suffered greatly in point Of at
tendance. and in q number OF III
stances it has become necessary &c
close them. all due TO bad roads.
Bad roads are also responsible,
for countless cases Of sickness, and
MANY persons have died through
the inability of a physician &c
reach them because OF bad roa@ss
These various effects combine TO al
feet rural population, with the re-
suits that population has decreas'
ed in a number OF cases III com
mrnities where roads were unlln-
proved.
But in many localities where
farms. homes. methods and roads
are up-to-date the schools are a
hundred years behind and are US
uaIly located on some small unlm-
proved roads. The speaker earn

Saving The Cantaloupe Crop

Following q recent visit to Del
aware made by J. J. Bonsteel. soil
specialist OF the L. S, Dept. Of Ag-
riculrure, many truckers in Kent
and Sussex County have acted up
on his suggestions concerning the
cantal0upe crop. There are often

GOOD ROADS AND SCHOOLS
Their Importance In The DEVELOPMENT OF The Community

were shown of what had been done
in this line in some of the western
states. But the fact was emphasiz-
ed that these schools are only pos
sible through improved roads.
That these improvements may be
eventually brought to pass, the
speaker declared We must educate
the younger and coming genera
tions to the work. The present gen.
Grafton Of rural residents are slow
in adopting these changes for the
better.
We should not make the mistake
of waiting until the pupils reach
the high schools and colleges to
teach them the value Of good roads,
as only small percentage ever
reach these institutions. 1t is not
intended to make road builders Of
these children, but to impress upon
them 50 strongly the necessity OF
good roads that they will advocate
and support improvement along
this line.
In some sections Of the country
the larger boys have become so
deeply interested as to spend few
minutes every day on their way to
and from school in repairing roads.
With the coming generations also
rests our hopes for more slightly
rural school grounds. All that IS
needed to accomplish this IS
clearing away Of rubbish and Civ
ing Nature a chance.
The need Of good roads for
transportation was forcibly illus
trated by pictures showing roads
before and after Improvement. and
loads possible of being hauled there
on.
In Germany a ton may be hauled
a mile for S cents: in France for
10 cents; in the United States it
averages % cents, thereby inevi-
tably raising the cost of living.
From this it will be seen that good
roads are not luxury but an alb
solute economic necessity.
The value Of the King split log
drag was demonstrated, showing
that a very little work with this ap-
pliance will keep the roads in al
most perfect condition at a mini
mum cost.
The connection Of rural mail de-
livery and good roads was shown
by the statement that there are
now 10000 rural routes in the
country. BY bad roads the effect
! iveness of the service IS greatly i'm
paired. A law now requires a car
rier to report within - hours to
his chief any exceptionally bad
road on his route. The chief. in
turn. must report within u hours
to the Office Of Public Roads at
Washington. when the road IS con-
de,nned and mail delivery stopped
until the road IS put in good con-
dition.
The lecture closed with the show
ing Of pictures Of interesting and
famous roads throughout the world,
Among these roads were: the
Snake Route in Arizona; roads in
Yosemite Valley. California; Eng
lish roads: roads in Holland. built
along the tops Of dikes 10 save
space French roads, the best i'll the
world today; roads in Germany
Devils Bridge, between Switzer-
land and Italy, one Of the world S
t greatest road engineering feats :
Italian roads, among these being
the wonderful Appian Way, built
iR the days Of the Roman Empire
and still in constant use; and the
road leading to the pyramids Of
Cheops, used for the transporta-
ton of materials for that pile, and
probably the oldest used road in
. the world today.
