On the other hand. in counties which
have improved their roads the schools

creased and economic consolidation
made possible. Regular attendance at
school means consistent and regular
growth of both school and pupil. and
consolidation of schools means maxi
mum of efficiency iat, a minimum of
cost. 1t is also noteworthy that there
is a marked tendency for the consoli-
dated school to become the social and
intellectual center of the community.
Most modern rural schOOlhouses are
so constructed as to serve the COM
munity as gathering places for vari-
GUS kinds Of public meetings. and
where vans are used to convey the
children to school during the day they
are frequently pressed into service to
haul the farmers and their wives to
institute work. lectures or entertain
ments at the schoolhouse. The con-
solilated school becomes q sort of COM
munity center to which all educational
and social activities converge. and in
order that it may properly perform
that function all of the highways lead
ing to it should be so improved as to
render it readily accessible through
out the year.

Montana are carrying Al message from
Governor Stewart of Montana to Presi-

The purpose Of the trip is to acquaint

LAYING SWEDISH PINE BLOCKS IN PARIS.
Wandsworth. which contain ninety
miles of the total wood paving in Lon
don, carry traffic that is very heavy.
but which is very nOndestructive to
the pavement. All English cities of
over $4,000 population have wood
block pavements. and in the majority
of cases these are on the principal
1horOughfares.
The wear Of the blocks is generally
very uniform and deT:essions. potholes
or inequalities in the surface are not
frequent. When surface cuts are made
the pavement is replaced with great
care, in marked contrast to the careless
manner prevalent in this country.
In England two classes of wood are
used for paving-hard wood and soft
wood. The former is generally laid
untreated. the woods used being the
Australian jarrah and karri. species
of eucalyptus. Much was hoped for
these woods when they were first in
troduced. but their use has proved
failure. They are, as rule. rough and
noisy and are rapidly going out of IA
vOr.
The pavements of creosoted soft
wood generally presented good ap-
pearance. though not equal to that of
the best American wood block pave
ments. They are not slippery. because
the wood is soft. and the gravel or
coarse sand which is spread over the
pavement becomes permanently i'm
bedded in the surface Of the wood un-
der the action of traffic.
The creosoted wood block paving In
Paris is more noticeable for its guam
tity than for its quality. Up to the
end Of 1911 Paris had approximately
$4,000 square yards of wood paving.
As in England. both hard and soft
woods have been used. Hard Austria
lian woods have been used to large
extent. but have not given satisfactory
results. In appearance the creosoted
pine pavements of Paris vary from
good to exceedingly bad. There are
many streets where the blocks are de-
cayed. and there are also many rough
streets. On the whole. the wood block
pavements are distinctly inferior to
those in any 0f the American cities.
The method Of laying in Paris is
similar. to that employed in, London.
the absence of soft cushion between
the concrete and the blocks being espe-
cially noteworthy.

The American Blocks Have Several
Radical Defects, Which Seem 70

[Abstract from paper presented by r.. g.
Church at annual meeting Of Wood
Growers association in New Orleans.]
1t has been said that creos0ted wood
blocks would make the ideal pavement
II provisions could be made for the
elimination of the following faults:
First.-The tendency to expand, re-
sulting in the bulging and sometimes
the upheaval of the pavement: the dis
location Of curbs, etc.
Second.-Slipperiness.
Third.-The exudatiOn Of oil or
bleeding"
In a comparison of European and
American paving, therefore, it is nat

CreOsoted wood is the most highly

EARTH ROADS.

Like every other kind Of con-
struction work. to be successfully
built and maintained earth roads
depend upon several essential re-
quirements. Two Of these are
the drainage question and the
grade and alignment. Upon the
way in which the surface water
is handled may almost be said to
depend the life Of the road. Ii
the drainage is badly or careless
ly handled or allowed to go neg
lected certainly it means the de-
:struction of the road. So. too. In
a large measure is the life of the
road dependent upon the proper
alignment and grade. Often
times a change up the hill or

here and one eliminated there
or new channel for the neigh
boring small creek will mean
salvation for the road.-E. A.

sa.,ss 3Gs'-'J ~,
The rural population is more willing
to support better schools today than
at any previous time. 1t is being
realized that all educational activities
or agencies must be more or less cor
related and, more than all else, that
they must be made accessible to the
children. In many counties where bad
roads prevail most OF the schools are
Of the antiquated one room variety.
They are usually located along :sbad:
roads, which during the winter. when
the schools are usually in session. be-
come so nearly impossible as to make
it difficult for the children to reach
them. This condition causes irregular
attendance and restricts the educa-
tfonal opportunities Of the child. Not
only this, but 1t often impedes the
economic consolidation of these small
er schools into larger, stronger graded
schools, with high school courses. d.

The pygmy antelope Of the Gold
Coast of Africa is the smallest of cud
chewing animals. 1t stands about ten
inches high at the withers-that is.
about as high as fox terrier. The
male has minute horns that run straight
back in the line Of the forehead. The
pygmy antelope was described in 1905
by the Dutch traveller Bosnian. who, In
his .'Description of Guinea" says that
Il ie called the king Of the harts" by

Many people have nowadays the
habit of agreeing with everything one
says. 1t doesn't matter on what you
give an opinion. a book. a play. an
event of current interest. they appear
to agree with you in everything. Prob
ably when somebody else gives quite
opposite opinion they affect to agree
with them too.
1t may be politeness on their part.
but one hates to meet people who seem
to have no minds of their own. And
it makes sane. intelligent conversa-
tion next door to impossible.
People who frankly differ from one,
who without being bumptious or argu-
mentative. have opinions of their own
about things and are not afraid to say
so. are much more interesting.
1t is so much more stimulating to
meet them. and one can enjoy talk
with them so much better than with
people who are too ready to agree. il
