Says Marion County
Roads are the Best

An Indiana automobile license led to
inquiries which developed that M. N.
Pitzer autoed here from Muncie, Ind,
and is visiting relatives. He made
the 425 miles in three days with rain.
He says it could be made in two days
in nice weather. Two hundred and
fifty miles of the distance is improv-
ed roads, either brick paved, cement,
or tarvia. The worst spot on the road
was on the other side of Cambridge
where he had to leave the National
road for eleven miles while repair work
was being done. The next worst place
was from Morgantown to Rivesville.
Mr.. Pitzer says Marion county paved
RAIDS are the best he has ever seen.

Wheeling, then to Washington, Pa,
from which point he made Waynes'

Flickertail product for the most part
He was raised on a farm in Cavalier
county, where he taught his first
school Is years ago. He has had ex-
perience as a teacher and admins
traitor in every kind of public school
having served as a teacher in rural
graded and high schools, and in
county and city schools, while he has
most recently served five and one-half
years as state inspector of rural and
consolidated schools.
The new superintendent of public
instruction is a graduate Of the state
university and of the Mayville normal
school. He has also done post grad
uate work at Leland Stanford and in
the Universities of Chicago and North
Dakota. He has travelled extensively
and while abroad made special study
of educational affairs.
Superintendent Macdonald prides
himself on being special friend and
champion of the rights of the COM
mon schools, and, particularly, the
rural schools. AS state inspector of
rural and consolidated schools he has
had an unusual opportunity to see and
study the needs of these schools, and
in his capacity as inspector he has

He was elected on a platform of
rural school betterment. Mr.. Mac
donald does not understand this to
mean that the city schoolas will be
overlooked; but it does mean, he feels,
that the state department of education
shall do its best to aid in bringing
school facilities to country children
which will be as free as and equal to
those enjoyed by city children. In
keeping with this program, everything
possible will be done to assist rura

Mr.. Macdonald estimates the require
ments in state aid at four times the
amount now received and believes that
at least four times the present num-
Der of rural school inspectors will be
necessitated.
At the present time, the rural
schools received $4,000 less than the
city schools as state aid, and there
is but one inspector for rural schools,
as with city schools, although there
are forty times as many rural as city
schools and the rural residents pay
nearly four times as much taxes.
