ROUGH ROADS HURT SCHOOLS
Communities Having Advantage Of I'm
proved Highways Can Afford to
Build Better Buildings.

That good roads materially AFFECT
the county school system has been re-
peatedly demonstrated. In states
where the roads are kept up we'll the
attendance at school is so per cent as
against Ga per cent in states where the
roads are neglected and are in bad
condition. Improved roads make 1t
possible to consolidate or centralize
the schools and to establish graded
schools in the rural districts. Such
schools centrally located will accom-
modate all of the children within ra.
dius of from four to five miles. In
many communities having the advan-
tage OF good roads, commodious build
ings have been provided, more com
petent teachers have been employed
and modern facilities for teaching
have been supplied at minimum cost.
There are about two thousand consoli
dated rural schools in the United
States, and it is significant to note
that the states that have made the
greatest progress in the building and
maintenance Of good roads have the
largest schools No community can
afford not to have good roads and
where few enterprising citizens will
take the lead the results can be real

Doino Away With Smoke.

Public opinion is setting strongly
against the contamination OF the all
we breathe with coal smoke. A gen
eral use of low-temperature coke would
render the atmosphere of our cities as
free from pollution as that of New
York, where it is obligatory upon all
inhabitants to burn anthracite or some
other form of smokeless fuel. Through
wantonly wasting the valuable con
stituents of coal by burning it raw in
the domestic fireplace we suffer dou'
BILE penalty. Not only do we pay di'
rectly for the fuel that is discharged
unconsumed up the chimney, but we
pay indirectly second time in the la
Dor spent in removing it when it comes
back to us through the windows in the
form of SHUTS and dust. We pay, too,
in deterioriated health and obscured
sunshine.
The whole subject affords an inter
esting illustration of the solidarity OF
scientific progress, and demonstrates
forcibly the fact that one advance In.
evitably brings another in its train
The growth of twentieth century en-
cheering science, which demands oil
in ever-growing volumes, is thus tend
ing to promote a sanitary reform which
is long overdue.

The largest part of concrete is the

clay or vegetable matter. The water
used for concrete should be clean and
free from strong acids and alkalis.
In building a poultry house, with a
concrete foundation, a little extra
trouble and slight expense will also

reach below the frost line and line
of three-inch tile placed in the bottom,
connected with proper outlet. The
lower part of the trench is then filled
with fat stones, placed so as to give
chance for the free passage Of water.
Smaller stones or cinders are placed

GIVES VIEW OF COMMUNITY
Plan of Chicago City Club Is to De-
veIop the Neiehborhood
Spirit.

In the small city or village nothing
in particular is done ordinarily to
stimulate the neighborhood spirit.
That force grows and develops natur-
ally in small community. People
come to know one another without ef'
fort and easily retain their friendships
and acquaintanceships. Thus Is pro.
vded substantial foundation for
community interest, which is another
name for neighborhood spirit.
In a city of large proportions the
community interest, the neighborhood
spirit. is less apparent and less CO.
hesive There is such an excess or
humanity all about that unnatural
barriers are anxiously thrown up
against the making Of friends too
readily, Even neighbors living in the
same apartment building remain
strangers for months on end.
Yet a city like Chicago, If 1t Is to es-
tablish the cohesive interest that nm
ally produces community interest,
must develop somewhat in terms or
the neighborhood spirit. Out Of this
comes the broader interest that en-
hroces the affairs Of the whole city.
This situation gives special value 10
the neighhorhood center competition
that is about to be featured at the
Chicago City club The purpose. as
announced, is "to bring before the
public, in graphic form. the practical
possibilities of enhancing neighbor-
hood life in our cities by better, and
especially better grouped, buildings
and grounds for neighborhood activi-
ties"
This object Is particularly worthy
one. It fits in we'll with the public
properties exhibition at the City club.
Ry this means an opportunity Is given
Chicago citizens to obtain clear idea
OF what they own as community
their schools, libraries, museums,
streets. bridges, parks. Fairgrounds,
baths, police and fire stations, and so on
The wellnformed citizen should
have definite knowledge Of this great
community estate" in which he Is
stakeholder. The exhibition and the
competition. with their incidental
meetings and discussions, should DO
much to establish broader concept
of these essential matters.-Chicago

CONCRETE HENH0USE
Correct Methods of Making Good
Quality Of Material.
Building Can Be Made Ratproof With
Little Trouble and Slight Expense
Perfect Drainage Is I'M.
portant Requisite.

With the rapid decrease OF our TIM
Der supply and the resulting increase
in the price Of lumber there has come
a necessary demand for new build.
ing material. Nowhere has this de-
mand been felt more keenly than on
the American farm, where lumber has
till now been practically the only
building material On account, how.
ever. of the farmers nearness to the
timber itself, he has been the last one
to feel the full effect of the shortage.
In concrete a building material has
been discovered that in many instances
has proved to be far superior to lum.
Der, brick or building stones on &C.
count of its durability, economy and
safety from fire loss. Moreover, 1t
can very often be used at the most
convenient time by the farmer himself
with q very little assistance.
Frequently cement users have made
costly mistakes by not informing
themselves properly before starting
their work concerning the correct
methods OF making good concrete. For
this purpose the following materials
are necessary: Cd cement CD sand;
(3) gravel or crushed stone, and (D
water.
Cement Is, therefore. only one part
of a concrete mixture A far greater
proportion Of sand and gravel than
cement is required. The quantity OF
cement to be used and the strength
of the concrete depends entirely on
the quality and size of the sand and
gravel, and 1t Is Of the utmost i'm
portance that these be Of the right
kind With an equal amount Of ce.
ment far stronger concrete may be
made II the sand and gravel are OF
the proper size and correctly pro.
portioned. 1t Is sometimes thought
that any kind of soil Of sandy ma.
ture, mixed with small percentage
of cement will make concrete, but
this idea is incorrect.
In the selection Of sand great care
should be nsed and attention should
be given to its quality, for sand con.
