There are several details in a ten

be investigated before a compromise
can be effected.
The most generally accepted theory
of the basis upon which the commits

from the Burlington limestone quar-
ries of Southwest Missouri for the

to some extent, Of the crystalline

Your Child i'm school

In the American Magazine a public
school teacher speaks his mind about
our public schools. Following is a
part of what he says:
"Ninety-three out of every hundred
do not get beyond the elementary
schools. From here they leave, the
voters of tomorrow, upon whose judg-
ment will depend more and more dir
ectly the solution of the nations pro-
blems. And what are these elemen-
tary schools? Merely stepping-ston
for the high schools Frankly, freely
that and nothing more.
'SWhen are we going to cease trying
to lift ourselves by our boot-straps and
recognize the fact that the elementary
schools are dhe finishing schools of the
nation?
I when shall we give to each child
i'm whatever time fortune may grant
him for schooling, the opportunity to
acquire the greatest powers Of his
head and hands unhampered by the
limitations Of artificial grading?'

About 10 days or two weeks later, 1t
may be necessary TO make another
spraying like the two previous, but
this will depend upon the weather con-
ditions and the amount of rot and

material should be used that will not
stain the fruit such as weak copper
sulphate solution. Two pounds of
copper sulphate to SO gallons.
There are several grape insects that

Good Roads Department
Conducted Especially for the Banner by Hon. p.
L. ColgrOve, President of the Michigan
Good Roads Association.

The desire to improve the conditions
OF country life is the central thought
OF a very real and a rapidly growing
campaign. Good roads. better schools,
more profitable farming, social CEN
ters and a better distribution Of labor
are parts Of the crusade, and the per-
sistence with which these and other
topics are discussed from the plat
form and in the press is evidence of
the vitality OF the movement
III the results are thus far unsat-
isfactory. the reason is to be found
i'm the fact that no great movement is
triumphant in a day A good deal
that is purely theoretical and imprac-
teal has to be swept away, and the
persons most concerned in the re-
form need to be enthusiastically en-
listed The peroid of discussion must
be passed before that of realization
can begin i'm earnest.
But there are signs Of the near APP
proach to the period of action and
realization. Churches are coming in
to a new sense Of their importance as
social centers, and school buildings
are being more generally used in the
same way. Night schools are being
established in country districts and
these are being attended by grown
ups as well as by children. Oranges
and other country organizations are
also serving to increase the social
ability of the people of rural districts
For these reasons, road improve
ment is real and vastly important
factor in solving the problem Of keep
ing young people on the farms where
they are greatly needed. 1t is a ques-
ton of deep interest to city folks, as
well as the people of rural counties
and villags. If agriculture is to be
neglected the cost of living will sure
ly become more and more alarming
and burdensome. If the farms are
not properly occupied and kept up,
the decay of rural districts will GER
tainly prove a heavy handicap to the
centers of population and trade.
In that respect the movement for
good roads is part of a great fight
for the betterment Of the conditions
of life and work in the United States
1t looks toward the cheaper produc-
ton and distribution of the necessar-
les Of life. 1t will help to make exis-
tence in comfort and safety less diff
cult in villages and cities as well as
on the farm.

The question is both economic and
social. IL concerns the future OF the
class which has ever been OF national
strength, sanity and security. In only
a less degree ii affects all other class
es and vital intrests.
Realizing the vast importance OF
good roads, the United States govern
ment has established in the depart
ment of Agriculture a Good Roads
Bureau" where expert knowledge Of
how to build road. and what kind
of a road TO build to meet any given
condition will be gladly furnished.
Fortunately for the country at large
a few states have done most OF the
experimental work and they have full
ly demonstrated that the only form
of highway capable of withstanding
heavy traffic and the rapid flight of
automobiles is one with a stable foun-
dation, well drained and with a wear
ing surface of stone held together by
some cementing material that will
"stay up" which will not lose its
binding qualities under the influence
Of climatic changes and the wear and
tear OF traffic. This is the macadam
road. Any other form of road con-
struction is, experience shows, sure
TO be a disappointment to road users
and a bad investment for the COM
munity that pays the bill.
Now that the demonstration of the
benefits of improved highways has
been made and the way to build good
roads has been pointed out, the most
important thing is to keep closely to
the best road building practice and
avoid wasteful expenditure OF time
and money upon untried fads and
demonstrated failures.
