U. S. Senate's Gift to Bride-Elect
Likely to Be Diamond-Stud-

Such pre- -nuptial hospitalities as Miss

formal character. It is not announced
that any dinners or other entertainments
will be given by the President and Mrs.
Wilson prior to the wedding. which is set
for Thursday next al o'clock. The Sec
retary of the Treasury spends his avaa-
bic leisure either at the White House or
in riding or walking in the company Of
his fiance. the last few days of whose
home-staying are quite as busy as that
OF any other happy ide-to-be.
The arrivals of the relatives hidden to
augment the family circle at the cere-

here for the inaugural festivities and at

Presidents Relatives Coming.
In this number are the President $
brother and sister-in-law. Mr.. and Mrs.

Wilson of Franklin. Pa. who. with his
wife. has been in New York recently
with Miss Eleanor Wilson on her shop

Secretary McAdoo's family party will
be augmented by few of his personal
friends. This latter designation Will
include also associates of the bride-to-
be- both from her former home and
here. The company assembled Will.
therefore, be an ideal one from every
point of view.
The Vice President and Mrs Mar

intimation of an intention to emulate
Mr. McAdoo. In fact. he is said to be
quite sure that he will not be in a rush
about following in the footsteps of his
fellow cabinet officer.

Good Roads AnAid
1oCountry Schools
Where Roads Are Best, Schools Are
Best And Best Attended; In
centive to Consolidation

Out of 24,0OO,O0O children Of school
age in the United States only IT,
100000 are enrolled in the public
schools. A considerable share of the
children, absent from school live in
the country, and of these several mil
lion are kept from obtaining an edu-
cation largely because of the poor
condition of the roads. "In fact"
says the report, "many schools in the
country are closed for varying per-
iods on account of the impossible
condition of the roads,"
What Report Says
at is worthy of comment" says
the report, in part, that in states
with high percentage of improved
roads, much larger percentage of
the students enolled regularly attend
the schools than in the states hav-
ing small percentage of improved
roads. In five Eastern and Western
states which have a large mileage
of improved roads, the average at
tendance of enrolled pupils in 1908
1909 was 80 per cent; while in four
Southern states and one Northwest
ern state which are noted for bad
roads, the average attendance for the
same year was "a per cent-eO per
cent in the good roads states as
against Cd per cent in the oad roads
states. In the states first named, So
per cent of the roads have been i'm
proved, while in the latter group of
states there are only 1 Y per cent of
the roads improved.
"That improved roads will benefit
our country school system, there
would seem to be no doubt. I'm
proved roads make it possible to con-
solldate or centralize the schools
and to establish graded schools in
the rural districts. Such schools CEN
trally located will accommodate all
of the children within a radius of
from four to five miles. In many
communities having the advantage of
improved roads, commodious build
ings have been provided, more COM
petent teachers have been employed
and modern facilities for teaching
have been supplied at a minimum
cost. For instance, since the i'm
provement of the main highways in
Durham County, North Carolina, the
number of schoolhouses has been re-
duced from sixty-fve to forty-two
Of which seventeen are graded and
have two or more rooms, and en-
ploy two or more teachers.
