ROAD MATERIAL SURVEY

That there must be a thorough inves-
tigation of road materials in South Da-
kota preliminary to any comprehensive
plan for the development of the high
ways of the state is the conviction of
Prof. J. Maughs Brown of the College
of Engineering at the University of
South Dakota. Little is known at pres
ent, says Professor Brown, about the
location and nature of the available
road material of South Dakota. South
Dakota, like other states, must make
the best possible use of its own natural
resOurces for road building and in or
der to do that the people of the state
and where they can be found.
Gravel and sand-clay surfacing are
the most practical for the roads of the
state. There is very little broken
stone within the borders of South Da-
kota and concrete and macadam are
out of the question for state roads eX-
cept for very short strips. The cost
of $4,000 to $13, 900 a mile for con
crete makes it for the most part pro-
hibitive and macadam is only slightly
cheaper when upkeep is considered. 1t
is difficult, however, to get gravel and
sand-clay in many parts of the state,
especially where little or no attempt
has been made to discover or tap the
deposits.
The College of Engineering is at
present testing materials from differ
ent sections of tle state and is propos-
ing to undertake a survey for the defin-
tie purpose of determining the location
and nature of South Dakota's road
materials.

mencing at Los Angeles, California,
and go eastward through the southern
part of the United States, thence north
ward to New York, thence westward
taking in South Dakota, and North Da-
kota, and other western states to the
coast. From Seattle, Washington, the
last lap will cover Oregon and Califor-
MIA and wind up at San Diego.
The much mooted question of unem-
ployment will be solved, according to
the opinion of economic experts.
The bill is summed up in the follow
ing words.
A National Highway c~ircling the Uni
ted States within it's borders and run-
ming ~strategically near the Atlantic,
Pacific and Gulf Coasts, as we'll as our
Northern and Southern boundary lines.
A National Highway, to be used in
times of peace by automobiles, auto
trucks and other vehicles for CONNER
cial and healthful purposes.
a National Highway extraordinarily
useful, when wal threatens or We are
attacked. Over it men in greatest
numbers and munitions and supplies
can be transported quickly to any
point North, South, East or West.
A National Highway, 10000 miles
long, that will give work at good wages
fer many years to at least 1000 600
American citizens in good times and to
several times that number in hard
times" The employment of new men
periodically, will add greatly to our
trained reserves.
A National Highway providing ply
steal and mental drill for all manual
and clerical employees-thus fitting
hundreds of thousands of young men
for National defense-and to be better
heads of families.

all of our schools are negleCting our
speech. That in our enthusiasm for
training the hands, we are forgetting
to train the tongue. Spelling is in
danger Of becoming a lost art and good
~penmanship is an exception rather
than the rule. Taking swift notes on
lectures is given as a reason. Nor is
well-spOken English says the editor,
demanded Of the student in the class
room and on the school grounds. The
word yes you me and going to-
are rudimentary English words and
easily pronounced. Yet college stu
dents will say 'yeh,' 'yeh-ah,' yuh,'
'muh' and gonna without attracting
~unfavorable attention from their fel,
lows or their tutors. Students thus
crippled in speech should have i'm
mediate aid from their English hos
pital, even though it necessitates the
establishment of an ambulance corps
on the campus. Loose, sloppy speech
is intimately associated with loose,
foggy thinking. Once a student leaves
college with a weak tongue, he carries
a weak tongue through life" Many
other examples of mutilated words
might be cited, also the lack Of choice
of words. The use Of hello" for a
salutation is ~inelegant and the short
and quick way in which it is p~ronounc-
ed is often of doubtful significance. A
CHEEKY good morning" or good after
noon" is much better and Will elicit 4
like response in most cases. Try it on
a child and a like response will almost
invariably be given.

KEEP YOUR MIND ACTIVE

American Magazine.-Keep your
mind active and keep up faith in what
your mind produces. Have enthusiasm
and selfconfidence. Have illusions.
Death comes when illusions pass.
There isn't necessarily a funeral. but
death has come just the same. With
out illusions you prowl around and
bore people. Nothing remains to inter
est you. No way remains by which
you can interest others. Did you ever
stop to think that people are far more
interested in your illusions than my
thing else about you?

ENDING ROADS

Yankton Press and Dakotan.-There
are two ways to have good roads. One
is to build them properly, and then re
build them every few years. The other
is to build them properly and then
keep them in repair.
The first method might be described
as the American way. We spend big
sums in matchmaking, then look at
the result and pronounce it good, and
promptly turn to something else. In

THE CROW'S-NEST


One cannot help but admire the
spirit Of loyalty exhibited by our citi-
zens of Scandinavian nationality or de-
scent in patronizing entertainments
given by their %compatriots from
other localities. They turned out
almost en- masse to hear the st.
Olaf band concert and were very appre-
ciative and enthusiastic listeners. Not
only that, but they entertained the
members of the band at their own
homes and gave them a banquet at the
Lutheran church after the concert. 1t
was something new and commemorate
to give "Rah-rahs" for their church at
the close of the performance.
There was a very interesting edi-
torial in the Monday Journal under the
title, "A Hospital for Defective Eng
lish." 1t mentions the fact that the
University of Oregon has established
a department called the English Hos
pdtal" for students defective in Eng
lish. Such students as have slipped
through the preparatory schools with
out an adequate knowledge of English
speech and spelling are sent to this
hospital" The editor thinks that

One of the most important moves
toward the construction of a system
of national highways is the bill pre-
Stephens, Of California, which, if pass
ed, will provide for the construction
and maintenance of a highway system
of 10000 miles long. The highway will
commence at Los Angeles and go east
ward through the southern part of the
United States, then north to New York
and then westward passing through
South Dakota, North Dakota and Mon
tana and on to the coast following it to
San Diego.

ment means much to South Dakota
