National Highways Will Effect Still
Greater Progress.

The cause of good roads in this
country has come to be a national
concern As a result of the great
awakening to the need of improved
roads, indications point clearly to tha
early establishment of a national high
way commission, Just as they did
twenty-five years ago to state high
way commissions. II Is beyond uucs-
tion that in the very near future our
national government will undertake.
the construction of a system of ma
tiOnal highways throughout the coun-
try. And just as state highway com
missions, by employing trained men
to direct their highway construction
brought about radical improvements
in the methods of construction, even
80 will national highways bring about
still greater Improvements.
There are now over 100000 miles
of unimproved roads in this country.
1t cannot be expected that the govern
ment will itself undertake the imme.
diate improvement of all these roads.
but it is certain that the government
must lead the way. The expenditures
necessary to improve all of these
roads, will be enormous, and, there
fore, it will be the work of the GOV
ernment highway engineers and scien-
lists not only to direct the improve
ment of certain proportion of these
roads as national highways, but also,
in doing this, to devise mthods Of
building highways more economically
and with better surfaces for the fu-
ture, to an everincreasing degree.
The government will select for its
highway organization the very high
est talent to direct this work and
these researches. AS in all govern
ment undertakings ample appropria
tions and boundless facilities will be
available for this purpose; and thus
through national highways not only
will the scientist render the greatest
service to Good Roads Everywhere
but the science of highway engineer

Although roads of some kind must
necessarily have been the earliest
known means of communication and
commerce between primitive peoples,
Ithe application of scientific princi.
bles to their design and construction
has been of comparatively modern
prigin. Even at the present day 1t
cannot be said that the science of
road building has reached as advanced
4 stage of development as the far
more recently introduced railroad, tel
graph, or steam navigation. This is
PARTICULARLY true in America.
If we neglect the celebrated Ro.
nan military roads, which, because
If their great thickness and their
onsequent enormous labor cost of
instruction, can scarcely be called

vegetable remedy which eliminates
liver poisons more effectively than
dangerous calomel and at once saves
you all the disagreeable effects. It
is gentle in effect, no gripping no nau-

NEW COURSE OF STUDY.
The Eleventh Edition of the State
Course of Study for Rural Schools
Has Been Published.

The 1914 edition of the State Course
Of Study has been sent to the school
commissioners to be distributed by
them to all the schools of the state.
Compiler's section % of the general
school law of 1911 provides that the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
shall prepare and have printed the
course of study for the district schools
Of the state except city districts,
which shall be pursued in all the dis
trict schools of the state. In this
work Michigan leads, as Michigan is
the first state to have a uniform
course of study mandatory upon the
district schools of the state. Michigan
was prepared for this legislation
through the excellent courses of study
that have been sent out by the var
ious state superintendent during the
past years, and through the adoption
in a large majority Of the schools of
the state. The especial value of the
above statute is that all of the schools
are now using this course of study.
The edition now distributed differs
from the 1912 edition which was the
first prepared under the authority of
the statutes, in that the work in pen
manship, physiology, geography,
music and bookkeeping has been re-
vised. Also in recognition of the
value of play in education and Of the
great necessity for its direction, there
is included in this coure of study, sug-
gestions along this line. The changes
made are all in harmony with modern
educational thought and are along the
line of the natural evolution in educa-
ton. The work is fully outlined by
grades and subjects so that pupils and
parents may know definitely just what
work is required for any grade. To
insure efficient training in the elemen-
tary subjects necessary as a founda-
ton for any work in life, it is requir-
ed that pupils take the full course.
All through the course emphasis and
insistence are placed upon thorough
ness and drill upon fundamentals.
