CHARITY AND GOOD ROADS

Once each year the great public
mellows up and remembers the poor
which rye always have with ye." For
one day they are dragged into the
limelight and held up as horrible ex-
amples Of what they ought not to be,
stuffed with turkey and sweets and
forgotten for another year.
The fact that the poor are becom-
ing greater in numbers each year In
the fact of a greater prosperity is an
illustration that the average man is
giving little or no thought to the pub
lie good. An examination into the
cause of this distress on the part Of
so many people reveals the fact that
a large portion of them have drifted
into the cities and towns from the
country for the purpose of enjoying
greater school and social facilities, be-
ing driven oft the land on account of
poor roads and poor schools. The nat
ural results followed, and many of
them became objects of charity.
Good roads in the country will bring
good schools and the drift to town to
educate the children will stop. The
country will become a more desirable
place TO live and the drift will be to-
ward it rather than, as now, away
from it.
If the time and energy and money
hat now goes to relieve the sufferings
Of the poor for one or two days in the
year were devoted to the improvement
of public roads and public schools, the
country would be getting somewhere
with its poor" problem.
Let's give some thought to finding
the cause and applying the remedy.
