GOOD ROADS ELEVATE
STANDARDS Of SCHOOLS
Secretary Houston Wants Highway
Improvement Near Rural Edu-
.. cational Centers.

Owing to his interest in the develop
ment Of rural education and the improve
ment of the rural school, Secretary
Houston has decided that the road con-
struction work of the Department of
Agriculture this year. whenever possible
shall be on some Of the roads Of primary
importance to some rural school,
Secretary Houston has stated publicly a
number of times that he is very much
interested in the development of rural
education and has made special study
of the subject. In pursuance of the same
end he has had the office of public roads
pay special attention to the rural road
problem as affecting the rural school.
The reports have all agreed that where
the roads leading to a school are good.
the growth of the school, the average of
attendance and the development OF the
pupils are at q maximum, and that bad
roads tend more than any other one
thing to keep down school attendance
and prevent educational development.
Schools Improved.
1t has been found in the course Of the
investigation that where the roads are
good and allow a large regular attend
ance the tendency of the schools Of the
region is to consolidate, to raise the
grade of studies and improve the teach
ing force while reducing the cost Of
operation.
The most modern of the schools have
been built so that there is one room
that can be used for community meet
ings, and the schoolhouse thus becomes
a sort of civic center. In many Of the
localities special arrangements have been
do for hrip the children n school
ans and omnibuses have been put in
regular service and where the roads are
good they can collect a large number
of children for the school in the morn
ing and take them home in the same way
in the afternoon. Where these convey
ances are available, they are used by
the parents at night for the community
meetings, lectures and entertainments
that are more and more being held at
the consolidated schools.
