"Fhe organ in which the special
censes is located is the head". At
least that is what we found in one
of our eighth grade DhvsioIoUv
papers.
On the whole, we were we'll
pleased with the general tone of
the work shown in our eighth
grade MSS. Some of the papers
were very well put up, while
others showed some signs of neg
ligence.
This is the season of the year
when those pupils who have been
faithful to the tasks set before
them, can look back over the years
e.. a..
have gone before, with a n of
deep satisfaction. Young folks
shoule early learn that Success
costs a price,. 49,.
The returns from the eighth
grade examination we're all mailed
out this week. We hope the pu-
pills will feel pleased with the
shaving that they have made.
They should not lose sight of the
fact, though, that grades are not
the only thing to be considered in.
an examination of any sort.
In all cases where there has,
been dissatisfaction with the
teacher and her methods, we hope
the school officers will feel them
selves free to express their opin-
ion to this Office. Please remem-
her that the law specifically states
that the county superintendent
shall be a medium of communica-
ton between school officers of the
county. The office exists for the
benefit of the schools and we want
to make every effort count for bet
ter schools.
This is the time of the year
when some of our little boys and
girls we hope there are not ma
nv, will be tempted to DESTROY
the eggs and nests of birds. We
hope that their older brothers and
sisters will try and prevent this bv
telling the younger folks all the
good things that birds do.

MAINTENANCE OFTEN KNOTT|EST
 PROBLEM IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
By SALLY JACOBS

the little things done at the proper time that count. How often do you find a well constructed piece of road that is properly maintained? Very seldom. While on the other hand, many a mile of properly constructed road is left without any maintenance and then when it goes to pieces, which it invariably will. the man who constructed it is discredited, when he is not at fault. We hear a great deal during this period of good road agita- tion about building permanent roads" I am like the farmer when he first saw an elephant. they hain't no sech thing" Roads of the diffe- rent types from the dirt road up to the different kinds of pavement have to be maintained, the cost of which varies according to the types of road constructed and the traffic thereupon.
 Too often you see roads that have been constructed at a cost of from $200 to 5000 a mile that have de teriorated and in some cases become impossible from lack of maintenance. Following is a concrete example of the economy of proper maintenance. A piece of road is constructed and will cost $100 per year mile to main- tain. It is left for a period of five years without maintenance, the cost to reconstruct at the end of five years will not be $500 what it would have cost if properly taken care of, but more nearly $2500. The first way mean an expenditure of $500 over a period of five years on a good road. and the latter an expenditure of five times that amount or whereabouts at the end of five years on very poor and sometimes impossible road. We can make no mistake in patterning after the railroads of today. They set aside adequate funds for maintenance every year and it must be a paying investment or they would not do so. Maintenance is the old adage over again. "A dollar spent in time saves nine.''
 So much for why we should prop erly maintain our roads. The next question is how? As I have had very little experience in maintaining the higher types of roads such as pave ment I will confine my suggestions to ordinary roads built of natural ma terials such as comprise the most of our roads in Arizona.
 OlI 6ldNtl, Sidy ailu oeiho Sidy roads can be maintained in most parts of the state by using a road drag after every rain. Very often this work can be done by farmers and can be paid for by the day. In most places the farmer is unable to work his crops at the time the road should be dragged. He is interestd Tn having as good a road as possible to his place, and after he sees the re- suits of his work dragging a piece of road he will need very little watch ing. Of course, there are roads over the state where farmers cannot be found.
