WANTS CONCRETE BASE.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
1 notice VIII Fink says that resur-
facing the county roads with Bituti-
thic, no doubt will cost about twenty
five cents a square yard. or between
$4,000 and $1,000 per mile. I cannot see
where the cost should be that amount
per mile. if the r~esurfacing can be done
for the amount per quare yard that
he says, which is twenty live cents
Mr. Fink also claims that our roads
are not as bad as some people paint
them to be, and in this L think Mr.. Fink
is wrong In fact my opinion OF the
largest part of our county roads is that
there is very little road in the county
that is q credit to any county, and as
for foundation for roads, with the
amount OF traffic We have on most OF
our roads, ii is my opinion that a on
crete a of about five inches with a
wearing surface OF about one inch and a
half OF two inches of first class as
phaltic mixture. is what this county
needs in the construction Of roads.
L wish TO ask Mr. Fink If the Btu
Ithlc company to which he refers,
would put down Bitulithic Digit stand

the county without n concrete base, or
as they do in our city streets.

have had enough experimenting in road
building, and it is about time we are
getting a little for our money, and set

I have had some little experience in
road and street building myself. and

the way am not connected with either

UPHoLDs THE GARY SYSTEM.

& Editor Fl PasO Herald
In Little Interviews" I noticed the
: very positive objection of our mayOr
! Tom Lea, to the Innovation" Of the
Gary system in our public schools.
knowing that n positive state
ment from a man, in the position of
Mr.. Lea carries weight with many who
do not think nor investigate for them
selves, I am convinced that Mr.. Lea
must nave looked at this subject in
an unprejudiced manner, considering 1t
from all sides, before he so forcibly
committed himself in the public press.
A system 50 successfully carried out
! as this has been in Gary, Indiana, must
have some things in its avor. A sys-
TEN so successful as to impress our su-
perintendent Of schools, Mr.. Tighe, as
being worth trying, must have a work
ing possibility. On the other hand, a
system so meeting the disapproval Of
Mr.. Lea must have its weak points.
Undoubtedly all Of these pros and cons
have been duly and fairly weighed by
Mr.. Lea before he so unQualifiedly cor
dennis.

I keep in close touch with their studies,
their play and their likes and dislikes.
I have not only listened interestedly

Tighe's plans and expectations for bet

system. In all OF this 7 have heard
things for and against and still ] am
weighing the matter, wondering If, in
one months time. anyone can justly
form an opinion Of the success or fail
ure Of an innovation" wondering if
every parent should not have patience
and give the system a fair trial be-
fore approving or coudemning-
True criticism is a constructive quail
ity, not a destructive one. In criticism
there should he the suggestion for bet
terment and the cause leading TO the
suggestion. not the mere tearing down
of something already established or in
the difficult process OF establishment.
Undoubtedly Mr. Lea, having arrived
at such d thorough understanding Of
the Gary system and its application as
to BE- able to unhesitatingly express his
opinion, must have Investigated far
more thoroughly than have 7. the inner
workings Of the system as observed by
teachers, many parents n many
children. 7

approval mustsbe founded upon unques-

There is no drug in the pharmaco-

Coffee is a dope and narcotic almost
equal to opium To be sure. it does not
