ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Scarcely Secondary to Rail Transpor'
tation In Their Far-Reaching st-
feet on Civilization.

The two great necessities OF
modern life are education and trans
portation, for civilization travels in
the wake OF good schools and good
roads. Good roads lead in more good
directions than the most far-seelng
can contemplate. Commerce begins
on the country roads and byways;
they affect school attendance and lit
eracy; they control markets and
prices, values OF land the develop
ment and contentment OF the people,
the cost and pleasure of living, and
are scarcely secondary to rail trans.
portation in their far-reaching effect
They determine the character and
growth of the community and the
necessity for them cannot be oyeres'
simated, for a country that isn't worth
a good road isn't worth living in.
