TIME GIVEN LANGUAGE STUDY
Taught In the Lower Public
Schools Of Germany.

The Germans are famous for their
thorough mastery Of languages. The
university graduates are expected to
converse in Latin and to read Greek
authors at sight. Even the pupils
whose education has been confined to
the public schools can generally use
French and English in common con-
versation without difficulty. The Sc
cret of this mastery, which is go un-
usual in this country, Is the thorough
ness of the study required.
An American delegate to an educa-
tional conference abroad last summer
found a class Of girls nine years old
busy with two French verbs, and u.s.
ing them In all varieties of form in
translating from German into French.
In a class ten years old they were
using all the regular verbs and the
common parts Of speech in the same
way, analyzing, constructing and CIV
ing the rules in French.
At eleven years they were using the
irregular verbs. memorizing French
poems. writing compositions in
French. and all the conversation of
the classroom was in French. From
this they pass to the higher French
literature, thinking and talking wholly
In French. A similar course is pur-
sued in English.

TIME TO THINK OF RABIES

A few cases Of rabies have been
reported In various parts Of the coun-

tho disease is most likely to occur
and has been most often seen. Chill
dren should be carefully kept from

and pet animals guarded In the same
way. The carrier Of the disease is
practically always strange animal
that has wandered from distance.
There is no need for alarm, how
ever. for but few cases Of the disease

tie danger. II our smaller towns par
ticularly could get rid Of the owner
less animals which are not properly
cared for there would be very little
risk from the action.

this is borne in mind a number Of ami

EURoPE's GOOD ROADS
REGARDED as Economic Factor OF
Life and Not a Fad.
Legacy Left by Romans Has Bee"

Prosperity Of Franee-Aus-
tria 10 Close Second.

The wide interest that the road
question has for all classes In Europe
is remarkable, and 1t ia this unity OF
purpose that builds on the network
legacy left by the Romans. Frances
Milton writes in the Scientific Amer
lean. Since that time, and that OF the
Henris and the Louises. to whom
were due much of the elements OF
beauty that compose the French road
system today. particularly with re-
spect to tree planting alongside. and
since the later day of the military
road making genius Of Napoleon much
has been undertaken In the way OF re-
finement which has produced. II not
an actual money return. at least
prosperity which would otherwise
have been unknown. /.
To be just there are as good roads
In the United States today as In
France. In top dressing. In comport
with the needs of the new locomotion.
according to any one Of the four or
five methods commonly made use OF
in America, results are superior even
to anything yet achieved in Europe. :

bility are made for brick. and II these
thing would seem to be worth some
thing. In France there is famous
stretch OF Route Nationale in the
south. near Marseilles. Straight as
an arrow. fiat as billiard table and
smooth as marble. with a row of
windbreak Expresses on the north.
which in the writer's opinion Is the
nearly ideal roadway. French ma
tional, departmental and communal
roads, as a class, are the best in the
world. rs
In the French Alps are the finest
mountain roads In Europe. far and
away ahead of those Of Switzerland
on all counts. Many Of them were
due to the genius Of Napoleon and his
military road builders. and II their
main purpose in times past was stra-
, tegic, today they are essentially prac-
| teal
The mountain roads OF Austria are
a close second, particularly when It
comes to considering them from the
point Of view Of the motor car.
Italy has q nationalized roads sys-
tenn; SO has Belgium. Austria and
most Of the German confederation.
The first three meet the situation but
partially. organization and control be-
Ing decidedly inferior to that in

KENEHAN CIRCULATING
MISLEADING STATEMENTS

Statements false and wilfully mis-
leading regarding the states finan-
cial condition are contlnually appear
ing in the newspapers as emanating
from State Auditor Kene,han. These
statements are doing harm to the
state inasmuch as they lead investors
and others to the belief that Colora-
do DIS bankrupt and fast going on the
rocks, that ii its credit and revenue
producing power is diminishing 1T
must naturally follow that this state
is an Improbable place to invest
funds in its enterprises, thus caus-
ing stagnation in business and max
ing the condition that Mr.. Kenehan
seems so much to desire.
The Denver newspapers of Sunday
May %, contained a. statement "that
the auditor has completed check
of the secretary of states office for
the first five months of the year,
showing there a. falling off IN reve-
nue. of SIG, 5000. as compared with the
same period last year.. The state
ment is absolutely false in every par
ticular; no check of the secretary
of states office has been made by
Kenehan. The figures submitted as
made by Secretary of State Pearce,
show that the receipts of his office
for the period named showed an in.
crease in revenue of $2,746.99, am in
crease over the first months in the
last biennial period of SIS, S,190.96, witt
the prospects of still larger increase
in revenue for the state in the whole
biennial period now that the state
is again increasing from the slump
that prevailed the last two years, and
we can confidently look and expect
this increase as all signs point to
it,
MIR. Kenehan desires to boost HIM
self regardless of what harm he may
be doing to the credit of the state
or of anything else. Posing as the
Watch Dog of the Treasury, his
favorite role, and at the same time
give justification for his policy OF
favoring some departments and cru
cifying others. At the present time
he lis mahciously holding up the sal
aries of certain employees absolute
ly without jus.ificatiom and in viola
tion of the law, while favoring others
paying them without question. His
evident desire is to compel a man
damus suit against him, thus making
some state employees give one half
of their salaries to fight a law suit
for no other reason than that of self
advertisement for Kenehan, whose
bunkcombe seems to appeal to those
who are ill tnformed on the base mo-
tiwes of this man.

MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS

In connection with the work Of i'm

nearly all the states are filled with
enthusiasm for road Improvement and
are spending enormous sums of money
In the construction Of superb roads.
and yet almost without exception they
are making little provision to care
