GENERAL DU PONT WRITES ON
GOOD ROADS EVERYWHERE"
Of All the Modes of Inter Communication
He Says. Only One, Highways, Are
Free to All the People.

Gen. Coleman dupont, chairman OF
the National Councillors Of the National
highways Association, has written an
interesting article on The Attainment
OF Good Roads Everywhere. The first
installment follows
Throughout the history of the world
intercommunication between its people
has been of fundamental importance to
their highest development. Those na-
tons who have had the best developed
means of communication within their
own borders and with the outside world
have always excelled in military power.
wealth, learning, art and civilization
The ancient Greeks set out in ships and
brought home learning and art as well
as vast wealth from the shores of Africa
and Egypt. The Romans built their vast
network Of roads that there might be
free and easy communication for their
people between the most distant parts
Of their mighty Empire.
It is intercourse, social educational
and commercial, which makes possible
the most rapid progress Of civilization
and the greatest human happiness.
II this IS true of the whole world, how
much more true does it become of our
great and comparatively thinly populated /
country, where the average density of
population is only thirty-one persons to /
the square mile-where if we were all 1
spaced evenly, each man, woman and
child would have 900, 900 square feet Of
ground TO himself and would be Obliged
to travel nearly a quarter of a mile to
visit his nearest solitary neighbor.
Or to figure in another and more
practial way. There are in this country
s, 500, 600 farms averaging in size 1s8 \
acres and in value IS, 500. EMPLOYING
the same reasoning as above, eyerv
.armer must needs travel an average
iistance (by the most direct route

GOOD ROADS INDISPENSABLE.

'ommunication-water, roads, railroads
