BRINGS BIG
OPPORTUNITY FOR
HIGHWAY BUILDING
az WALTER C., WHITE

W. ' katN ~ ~
The release Of labor and material in
cident to the rehabilitation Of our
army and the slowing down Of the
manufacture Of war supplies, offers a
golden opportunity for a program OF
road building more extensive than any
in which the country has ever engaged
Not only must we make good the neg
lect which roads have suffered dur
ing the period when road construction
has been officially frowned upon, but
we must go farther and bring our en-.
tire road system up to the standard Of
the far-famed roads OF France.
while we often hear Of the tire
mendous part played in the war by the
motor transport, We are apt to forget
that this part was made possible only
because France has a splendid system
Of ~roads-not simply a good road here
and a good road there, but a network
Of fine highways connecting almost ev-
cry town and village In the country
Useful was this system before the war;
Of France; and now that the last shots
have been fired, the roads may Justly
be termed one OF the country's great
assets In the work Of rehabilitation.

indifference which our country, In time

toward the road question, l cannot help
but feel that all OF our soldiers when
they return from France will demand
that our roads be brought UP to the
French standard.

APPROVE ORKOF
MISS WILLIAMS IN
DIRECTING SCHOOLS
Negroes Of Shelby County Are
Awaiting Themselves Of
Best Educational Facilities
Afforded in South.

Negroes OF Memphis n Shelby
county would like to record their APP
prevail Of the work of Miss Charl VII
liams as superintendent OF Schools IN
Shelby county and voice the hope that
she may succeed herself when the time
for election comes.
In our efforts to stabilize the rural
population in the past we were con.
fronted with the fact that the rural
schools we're so poor that parents found
it necessary to move TO town tnat
their children might have proper school
facilities. This overcrowded the city
schools and lowered their efficiency,
But the situation has changed, Today
we have a strong chain of rural schools
with good. modern buildings and ex-
cellent equipment, and near the city
we have some excellent suburban
schools, all under close and eftectVe
supervision.
The Rosenwald schools. recently add
ed, make Shelby county one OF the
leading counties in the South in negro
education. Our people are exceedingly
grateful for these advantages and teel
that much Of the credit is due Miss
Williams.
The proper mental attitude has much
to do in removing the probability Of
a friction. When people expect
trouble they usually 60 prepared FOR
1t. When they are prepared for 1t, it
seems reasonable for 1t to take place,
Leave off the preparation and Danish
the expectation and all will be well.
Persons who live on the same cal line
should learn each others faces and
assume a friendly attitude along with
the spirit OF accommodation. It Is an
easy matter to get along when once
you make up yolr mind to do so.
There will be interesting services at
the Metropolitan Baptist church Sun
