Gold Medals for Road Essays.

A gold medal to the school boy OF
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, moi
to exceed 800 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Logan Waller Page,
Director, Office Of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C. All compo-
sitions must be submitted to Mr.
Page before May Is, 1918, and the
medal will be awarded as soon there
after as the compositions can be grad
ed. The composition may be based
on knowledge gained from books or
other sources, but no quotations
should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of re-
pair and maintenance of roads is as
much the cause of their bad condition
as any other one factor. 1t is expect
ed that the competition will bring
about a better understanding of the
subject Of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many chill
dren from obtaining proper educa-
ton and have even prevented doctors
from reaching the side of rural
patients in time to 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,
and address of the writer, and the
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 competition
has been sent to the superintendent
of schools in the rural districts. No
further information can be obtained
from the Office of Public Roads.
This announcement should be plain
to everyone, and all children will
thus start on a basis of equality.
