Iowa City. July 11-Nearly 200 con-
crete culverts, from the largest to the
smallest size, are now being installed
along the River to River Road between
Iowa City and Oxford, to finish the
work of grading, etc. which the county
engineer has been carrying out on this
highway Turing the spring and sum-
nler.
After completing the River to River
grading the big tractor and its grad
ers will be switched to the poor farm
road, where they will carry out this
same method there. The road will be
widened to forty feet and mounted off
to give it better rainage. New con-
crete culvedts will be installed, and
the whole system gone over
The Red Ball Route will probably
be the third step of highway to be
improved. Here several grave diff
culties will be met by the engineer
and his men. Many stretches OF the
way are sandy, and hard to form into
any good road bed. In these places,
they will try to haul soil from near
by farms, If it is procurable, and make
solid surface for travel. In other
places the hills are of such steepness
that it will be with extreme difficulty
that the tractor will be able to pull its
load of drags, and the work here will
be Of necessity, very slow.

is all there is to it.
Mr.. Vanderhorst, of Charleston op-
posed the bill and offered personal
testimony, so to speak. So far as he
could gather the objection to white
teachers in colored schools was pure
ly sentimental. He saw it from a
practical standpoint, and he paid a
glowing tribute to the school system
in Charleston. He thought the alb
sence Of race friction in Charleston
was largely due to white teachers in
sisting upon respect for the white
race and cleanliness. He personally
knew teachers in these colored
schools, and there we're no women of
better antecedents or character, and
they taught in these schools as a
matter of duty. No one has ever
heard Of any one of the white teach
ers of Charleston being degraded be-
cause Of such teaching. The test has
been made in Charleston and the best
results. in every way, is gotten by
competent white teachers in colored
schools.
Mr.. White Of Clarendon saw but
one advantage from white teachers
teaching in colored schools, and that
was to get the money for teaching.
There are a few Northerners who
love the negro because they do not
understand conditions. The effect of
whites teaching in negro schools is
so bad as to have members from
Charleston and Orangeburg oppose
this bill. He could not comprehend
how white men could oppose this bill.
The only way to account for it was
by a loss of the sense Of proportion.
