ROAD BUILDING is SUBJECT
At Good Roads School to Be Held at
West Virginia Universlty-For
Engineers and Farmers.

Morgantown, w. Va.-The School of
Good Roads which is about to open
here in Morgantown. under the joint
auspices of the State Road Bureau
and the College of Engineering, gives
every indication of being a great sue
cess. Many Of the most prominent en-
gineers and others interested in the
road movement of West Virginia have
signified their intention of being pres
ent. This representative gathering OF
West Virginians, together with ex-
perts from the national government,
the various other states and colleges,
means the most successful gathering
or road men ever held in this state.
The subjects which will be- discussed
are of vital interest to all and from
this standpoint alone, no public official
can afford to miss these meetings. In
addition to the value of the purely
technical features, the opportunity of
meeting the men who are leaders of
the road movement in our county will
prove an education within itself, espe-
cially to those who have little knowl-
edge of what is going on outside his
community.
