ABOUT COUNTRY
ROADS BY ELLIOTT

The condition of our roads Is IN n
great measure responsible for the
exodus Of our rural people to tn"
cities.
Now many Of the reasons Of our
bad roads are disgrace 10 the en-
lightrncd country in which We live.
II is my belief that practically all
of those reasons can be traced to y
common head: bad management On
the part of our government. Enough
money is expended to keep the roads
in better shape than they are, but.
even il this were not true, ! think
our politics could be blamed for the
lack Of education, the lax moral
standard and the degcncracy OF our
mountains. In one county IN our

ITO THE BOYS"

You've heard the remarks Of our
good POSTMASTER
Who is filling this evening with mu-
sic and laughter.
He has withal a big kind heart
And for all the fellows has part.
He came to me with a tale of woe
Which made my tears to overflow:
"The BOYS" he said. "are feeling blue
And to cheer them up we must have
something from YOU
And So I've been tempted to make
you toast
Perhaps I might compliment, per-
haps might roast
But whatever 7 do, just know of all
joys
This old earth affords-there Is
nothing like boys.
But alas, you have heard the story
so old
So often to us by our grandmoth"r
told
That boys are made of-now do MT
quail
or scissors and snails and puppy dog
tails.
'Tis handed down from the far dis
tant past
But whether It's true We'll decide at
the last.
OF course, they're a pest as their
teachers all know,
They drive their fathers and moth
ers to woe.
But still we girls like EN-, no mat
ter how much
They tease us and freeze us and STIR
up a fuss;
And then we wonder at the question
so grim,
If they like us as we like them.
Be that as it may we must rest cen
tent
And calmly accept the fate that Is
sent.
As all schools include the different
types
OF boys. so we in ours are prone to
cite
The general classes which will show
The place in which you ought to 90
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1916-01-27

And first of all we see the one
Who has come to College for NOM
ing but fun:
He forgets the wish his fond parents
made
Even thinks his teachers are put IN
the shade:
He thinks to loaf his way through
College
But be assured that brings no Fnow-
ledge.
And in days to come he will surely
find
That something else should have
filled his mind.
In sharp contrast is the bookworih
staid
Who thinks of nothing hut grades
to be made:
He studies and studies and even
shuts out
The things that other boys lave
about.
From him we come to our good attn
lptes
who train for games and college
meets.
There are those among them who
think it wise
Their studies for athletics to 'acri-
flee:
And then expect a nice 4 plus
From the kindness Of teachers who
make no fuss;
The only spirit they worship at all
Is the Muse that follows the old
foot ball:
But it carries along a hearty good
cheer
Which binds us together throughout
the year.
And now at last a word Of praise
For all the boys on whom we gaze
For they are all of the best Of stun
Yea, even diamonds in the rough;
When Clipped and knocked in every
line
We know that they will some time
shine.
For even now we see the rays
That point them on to better days
Nav they live long in our college So
dear
Casting around us brightness and
cheer.
Live long and be happy gaining their
knowledge
And ne'er be sent out for the good OF
the College.
