upon plan nationally conceived
Every member of congress knows
the good roads problem in his dis
trict or state, of course, hut we want
to have him know it nationally.
we have inaugurated this photo
graphic contest as a first step in this
direction and We believe that with the
assistance OF all Americans Interested
In the good roads problem we can
make 1t very important step. An
exhibit Of photographs picturing the
good roads problem as ii exists in
every section of the country Will
make u most graphic and forceful
lesson.
1--WE want the subjects of tho
photographs in this contest to DEM
onstrate not only how bad roads are.
ana how good they can be made, but
also what II means to the welfare Of
every man, woman and child in the
United States To have good roads. For
instance, we all know that a coun-
try schoolhouse located in district
OF good roads has a far better attend
hntt VI pupils, ana lOf lnat reason
can offer them better educational OPP
portunitics than country school in
district of bad roads.

consequently II would he of great
value In our contest to have photo
graphs giving a picture lesson to the
eyes of our lawmakers of what it
means to children in our rural dis
tricts to have their schoolhouse locat-
ed on good roads This is only one
idea that has come to me. There are
hundreds of such lessons on the value
of good roads which can be taught by
Perhaps the best way to do this
Is through photographs contrasting
good and bad road conditions. We
VIII arrange our exhibits to do that,
but I'm order to allow individual COM
petitors to take advantage of some
such striking contrast as may have
come to their attention. the associa-
ton has not limited competitors to
one photograph. or to one prize. Each
can send In as many pho

as many prizes as his work deserves.
