Education Stuck in the Mud

Bad roads have a larger influence
upon the education of country children
than you may suppose. In five East
ern and Western States that have a
large mileage Of good roads the per-
centage Of school attendance of those
enrolled averaged 90 per cent in 1sOe-os.
In four Southern and Northwestern
states where the roads .aresr srfotoriously
muddy, the average attendance Of pu-
pills enrolled was "a percent.
In the States where the attendance
was 30 per cent. The roads were IS per
cent improved. while where the at
tendance was "a per cent the states
mad only H. per cent Of improved
roads :
Good roads have been a large factor
In increasing the number OF consoII-
dated schools and putting out of bust
ness the little. weak. scarcely attended
one-room schools. What 10 your atti-
tude toward better schools and more
education for the children? Bad
roads are by far q greater tax upon

Since the world has adjusted its
much-tried credulity to the accep-
tance Of summer furs, why can't II
do another mental fiipfop and achieve
enthusiasm for winter parasols as
suggested by the diverting young
person in the picture?
We suspect that this lady IL pre-
pared for an uncertain morning In
Palm Beach and wears the ermine
scarf to ward of chills lurking in
the palm shadows, while thoughtfully
providing the parasol to prevent sun
stroke when strolling on the beach.
The hat Of lace and fur and the
gown Of silver embroidered net are,
We confess, bit disconcerting to a
reasonable being but we assume that
she wears them just because.
