That West Virginia needs better
roads everybody admits, but it has
only recently dawned upon us as a
people that the question OF better
roads is the most important issue
confronting our people today.
Most of US in the past have looked
upon the roads as a play house for
the county court and nave given
them but meager cooperation, but
we are glad to say that new light
has dawned upon us and that Gov
ernor Hatfield is leading the way
in helping us get out of the wilder
ness of mud. He has called two
special holidays, May 20 and 80. and
requests every citizen to spend these
two days working upon the public
roads. VIII the people back him
up? Let US all Join hands with
him and show him that we are in
sympathy with the movement.
Let everybody turn out and give
these days to the state. 1t will not
mean much to any one Individual,
but 1t VIII mean a great deal every
body and the pleasure and adyant-
ages OF the good roads will more
than repay us.

The Farmward Movement.

The News and Courier of Charles
ton, S. c., is Of the opinion that the
back-to-the-farm movement has
waned and that, as q consequence,
the problem that was sought to be
.remedled by it has grown greater
and more serious than ever. Says
that newspaper:
A few years ago the people OF
this country woke up very suddenly
to the fact that too many persons
We're leaving the farms and entering
the cities and that the results OF
the change were serious. There fol-
lowed much discussion of the mat
ter and the launching-on paper
of a hack to the farm" movement.
Newspapers and magazines did their
best and the colleges and the gov
eminent helped.
The question is of considerable
interest. The thirteenth census
shows that the popufatton has in.
creased twenty-one per cent In tle
time covered by the census, while
crop production has increased hut
one per cent. at shows that in the
time covered by the census the In
S1edSS VI pOpuldtlOu III buO SlIlSS
has been far greater than the in
crease of population on the farms.
Whether or not "back to the farm
movements of the sort that we
have recently experienced do very
much iIlmdiate and direct good is
open to considerable doubt; but they
do serve to keep the people thinking
about one of the gravest il not the
gravest of their problems; and they
serve to keep constantly before our
eyes the real reason why living is
getting more and more expensive
with each passing year.
1t is an old saying that where
there is much smoke there is always
some fire. There is very little back
to the farm" smoke nowadays. Does
this mean that there is very little
fire, that systematic effort to stop
the drift to the cities has almost
ceased?

Ikindergarten Progress.


In ten years kindergartens in the
United States have grown from 3,244
kindergartens with 205 900 children
to 2 1851 kindergartens enrolling 1884,
1S9 children according to bulletin
issued by the United State Bureau
Of Education.
Notwithstanding this encouraging
increase in schools ana pupils, the
great majority Of children are still
without the advantages OF kinder
ten training Only nine per cent of
the children of kindergarten age
four to six-were in kindergartens.
Much constructive work must be
DONE" declares Miss Myra Wlnches-
ter, OF the Kindergarten division OF
the Bureau, reviewing the figures.
The child of kindergarten age is SO
young, so impressionable, so incapa-
BILE of defending himself against the
faulty words and actions and mental
attitudes of the teacher, that means
must de devised to eliminate or at
least diminish the number of faulty
teachers. Standards of requirements
as TO personality ana academic and
professional training must be raised
and maintained, for the surest guar
antee of the extension OF kindergar-
tens Is good work done by good
teachers
Miss Winchester traces the path
of progress in kindergartens from
private philanthropy to public sup
port. First there were private kin
dergartens, regarded as more or less
/. OF a luxury for the well-to-do. Next.
erO0H man ana prp
vide charity klndergartens for the
poor and neglected children;
churches. settlements, kindergarten
associations, and mill owners gave
and continue to give glad and gem
erous support to such kindergartens.
Then as a direct outgrowth OF the
work OF the kindergarten assoca-
tions, there have evolved training
schools for kindergarten teachers;
the state legislature has been in
duced to pass bill making it legal
to institute public-school kindergar-
tens; local boards of education have
partially, then entirely. taken over
the care and education OF little chill
dren, and finally state and city
normal schools have incorporated
the kindergarten training schools,
making them into a regularly inte-
grated department"
The bureaus bulletin on kinder
gartens gives complete statistics for
private and public kindergartens
throughout the United States, SO far
as these were reported; together
with opinions of superlntendents,
supervisors and teachers as to the
results of kindergarten training in
their communities. The bulletin is
illustrated with photographs of real
kin6ergarten children in real kinder
garten activities.
