Through Mr.. Terrell's influence will
the Board OF Trustees of the State
University of Kentucky, there was es
tablished the chair OF rural and high
way engineering In the Department oi
Civil Engineering Of that institution
He was unanimously chosen professor
Of that chair. He Immediately began
the campaign to secure not only the
undergraduate students In the course
but also arranged to have the prac
tical road builders OF the state to take
short courses and attend lectures dur.
ing the winter season. The course
grew very popular. and many students
were enrolled in both the two and four
year courses for undergraduate stu.
dents and large numbers of the county
road men, as well as the county judges
and magistrates matriculated for the
lecture courses.
In 1912, when the Department of
Public Roads vas established by the
General Assem- bly,, Governor McCreary
called Mr.. Terre'l fvcm the chair OF
rural and highway engineering Of
State University of Kentucky and ap-
pointed him the first Commissioner OF
Public Roads o. Kentucky. Mr.. Ter
rell assumed his duties on July 1,
1912, and has untiringly given his
time and attention to the upbuilding
of the road system of the state.
Through his efforts and the showing
made by the department prior to the
meeting of the General Assembly OF
1914 was made possible the. passage
of the state aiG road laws in Kentucky,
which provide for intercounty seat
system of highways and a five-cent
tax, together with the license tax on
automobiles to be spent for the con-
structlon Of the state system Of high.
ways, the state paying one-half the
cost and the county one-half the cost
OF such improvement.
Mr.. Terrell through his splendid
corps Of a-1,-tSnts and thorough or
ganization, has had active supervision
and charge of the preparation OF the
plans, specifications and estimates OF
cost and actual construction OF more
than one thousand miles Of road, and
has thoroughly demonstrated to the
citizens Of the Commonwealth OF Ken
lucky the advantage of having roads
constructed on scientific principles,
and has made popular the new road
laws and has been successful In Sc
curing the cooperation Of the county
officials throughout the state.
Mr.. Terrell, when interviewed on
the subject, stated he was well pleased
with the success Of the new road laws
and that a good showing had baen
made this year, and that fully fifty
per cent more work would be accom-
plished during the year 1916, as the
county officers of nearly every county
in the state have already signihed
their intention Of taking their Pre-
rata part Of the state aid fund for
the coming year, and many more coun
ties are preparing to vote bond issues

Frankfort.-Kentucby Road Com
missioner, Robert G. Terrell, who has
successfully put into operation the
good roads laws of Kentucky and for
the past three years has been the head
Of the road department, was born near
Bedford, Trimble county, Kentucky,
in 1884. After finishing the common
school of that county, he entered the
State University of Kentucky and
graduated from that institution in
1906, receiving the degree of bachelor
Of engineering, an6 was given the mas
ter's degree in civil engineering in
1908.
Immediately after receiving his de-
gree in 1906, he took charge of the
location of the Duck Fork extension
of the Louisville C Atlanta railway,
now portion of the L. & N. system.
In addition to locating the road, Mr..
Terrell mapped and opened up large
coal field for the Kentucky River Coal
& Coke Co., which was afterwards
leased by the Big Hill Coal Co. Of
Pennsylvania. In June, 1907, after
completing the work with the Ken.
lucky River Coal & Coke Co., Mr..
Terrell was employed by the Ar
kansas, Louisiana & Gulf Railway at
Hamburg, Arkansas, as assistant en-
gineer on twenty miles Of construc-
tion, where he remained until it's COM
pletion in the summer of 1908.

We often think the very rich

Our Children---Boys and
Girls.

Speak gentle and guilty ask
them not to do again, and if the
boy has the proper idea of the re-
spect due his mother. he will re-
spect your wishes. This kind Of
thing is only what may be expected
of them, for boys will be boys, as
long as The world stands, and there
is a boy remaining in it. If the
same offense is repeated by that
self -sane boy, you need not feel
discouraged, for the teaching of
one dsv will not suffice for all.
1t requires a great deal of per-
severance to make a success of it.
Some of course, are a great deal
worse than some others, but you
need not expect to find saints in
any of them.
Again, do not suffer the sister to
censure them so severely, as is
sometimes the care, just because
she does not happen to inherit as
much of the Righteousness of old
Father Adams as fell to the less
fortunate brother. Impress the fact
upon her that she has a great in
fluence over him if she will only
exercise Judgment in exerting it
for his good.
Teach the boy in turn to Use
kindness and politeness toward his
sister. 1t will be the making of
him, for, as the twig is bent SO
will the tree be inclined"
Neglect this and you will doubt
less bring up a man to make some
poor woman miserable, as it is i'm
possible for woman to admire an
ungallant and snappish man as
for him to love coarse hammered.
slovenly woman.
Be neat and tidy in your own
person, else do not expect this in
your children, for children pick ND
the ways Of their elders as pigeons
pease. 1t is a superior child in.
deed who naturally rises above his
parents in print of pride and Ell
quette. He or she may appear so to
casual observer, but rest assured
loose training eventually tells.
AS for the daughter, let me
whisper softly, mother, do not fot
the sake Of the love you bear, rush
her unto the matrimonial market
at least before she is out af her
teens. She is but child as yet, and
one child is not capable of assutn.
ing the care of another.
