3 be held in Mechanical hall at Morgan

siYe.
This school, held jointly by the
university and the state road bureau,
has shown remarkable growth. and
now is one Of the foremost agencies
in the University in the educational
work OF the state.
Within the next two years. from
S15,000,0GO to S2O.OO0.OO0 will be
spent upon the public roads Of our
state. 1t is evident that with such q
tremendous sum at stake, it is imper-
ative that our public officials and en-
gieers upon whom full Responsible
tn for results will rest, must pre-
pare themselves for this work. The
work Of the road school is SO ar
ranged as to disseminate the largest
possible amount Of information in a
very short period OF time. For this
reason it is hoped that this years
school will be even more successful
than those Of former years.
