penditures to officers directly account
able to the Federal Government, and
alive to the fact that the largest pos
sible outcome for the money placed in
their hands is expected of them.
I'm addition to the advantages of the
intelligent way of going at the matter,
and of the uniform and economical re-
suits to be expected from the method
in which appropriations are to be ap-
piled, the plan makes possible a special
military advantage in time of war
through the fact that officers of the
corps of engineers, on whom, IN war
time, the work Of mapping out the
theater of operations and constructing
roads therein, depend, would have q
wide knowledge of our national COM
munications, and valuable, practical
experience in road construction. While
thorough theoretical instruction In the
road making art, opportunities are now
lacking for giving them the practical
experience essential to a quick and
ready grasp of the emergencies which
would arise at the outbreak of hostili-
ties.
For these reasons, If Congress de-
cides to embark upon a project of this
character, there viii be many ad-
vantages in conducting the work under
the engineering corps of the United
States Army.
"With reference to the sum proposed
for defraying expenses, the informa-
ton available in the Department is in
sufficient to permit a positive express
sion of views as to whether $3.50, 900
iminary plan for the whole United
States or not. The recent highway
work for various states has provided a
considerable mileage which will be
available for connection betweed prin-
cipal centsrs. 1t has been computed,
however, that the total length of roads
in the United States is something over
1000, 900 miles, and considering the
wide extent of the national domain,
and the fact that In so many instances
alternative routes between centers are
available, it will be seen that the plan
involves the consideration of thousands
of miles OF highways. The sum men
toned, however, will doubtless permit
the preparation of preliminary plans
for large proportion of the principal
routes.

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS ASSOCIATION.

Washington, May 7.-Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker, the baby
member of the Wilson Cabinet, has set
forth some interesting views upon the
subject of federal participation in the
building of good roads IN a letter re-
Gently written to Senator George E.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, a copy of
which was made public here today by
the National Highways Association.
The letter is in reponse to a request
from Senator Chamberlain for the War
Department views upon the Shields
Small bill providing for a preliminary
investigation and report on a system
of national highways. The report
provided for in the bill is really a sur

cognized principles of engineering" and

States" Such highways are to be

Commenting upon this legislation,

and 1.-THE sound pricinples of central

Affairs, Washington, D. C.
s'MY DEAR SENATOR:
81 have the honor to present the fol-
lowing reply to your request of the 10Th
ultino.
eff Congress desires to enter upon
the construction of a system of national
highways, the general features of the
plan presented IN the bill are, in my
judgement, admirably adapted to pro-
duce the facts necessary for such a
consideration. It proceeds upon the
safe and wise business principles of
preliminary examination and report,
thus giving Congress full information
collected by trained men and the data
so collected forms definite and essen
tial basis en- which to found conclusions
as to what extent, If any, and under
what conditions the Federal Govern
ment shall embark upon such q pre-
jet.
ct includes also the sound principles
of central control, thus insuring stand

of the country, and of committing ex-

Kindergarten and Summer School.
A kindergarten, and vacation school
for the grades will be conducted by the
Training Department of the Normal
school, beginning June 5. The kinder
garten will continue for about four
weeks and the grades about six weeks.
The public school building will be used
only. The kindergarteR will be in
charge of a specially trained kinder
garten teacher. The grade work will
be under supervision of Miss Schoen-
halls, assisted be efficient and expe-
rienced teachers who are In attendance
at the summer session of the Normal.
A large part of the teaching will be
done by Miss Schoenhals and all of the
work will have her close supervision
Each pupil in the grade work will
carry only about three subjects in ad-
dition TO nature study and industrial
work.
The summer school will utilize some
of the long vacation which usually
means such an educational loss to the
children. 1t will give an opportunity
for those who are behind in their grade
to make up the work and go on with
their grade next year. Since a two
weeks vacation will elapse between
the close of the regular session and the
beginning of the summer school, and
since only morning sessions will be held
and children will not be held for much
if any study outside of school, no one
ought to suffer fatigue.
The school will be conducted without
expense to the city, and no tuition will
be charged.
Applications for enrolment should be
made before the close of the regular
session, so that some idea might be had
of the number to be cared for.
The Civic League will give two prizes
first and second-for each ward in
Hays having the most beautiful and
best kept yard for the summer of 1916.
