One of the most encouraging
developments or the year has
been the unanimity with which
the people supported the pro-
position for a twelve mill tax
for the schools. The vote
against it in practically every
special district reported was
negligible. The people as a
rule are opposed to paying
more taxes, but when it comes
to the support Of the schools,
they are not reactionaries. AS
has been remarked by many,
"the sky is the limit when it
comes to the schools" Con-
trary to the predictions of a
few the twelve mill tax has be-
come popular.
The schools of the state are
growing rapidly, even more
rapidly than the population.
The Little Rock District for
instance, employs 280 teachers
In two We ars, the enrolment
of pupils has increased over
1000, which means an increase
of So new rooms of about 40
pupils each, or four twelve
room buildings. The increased
tax there will produce about
100000, it is estimated, and
half of this increase is to be
applied to an increase in the
meagre salaries now being
paid the teachers. AS class

fence. knows and has known the I'm
portance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing a railroad does after
obtaining right-of-way, as everyone
knows, is to build a roadbcd and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track. which corresponds
10 the surface OF the highway, is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials. however. do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con-
slant repairs.
That is Just what we are coming to
in road building. For years it has been
customary dor county engineers TO
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham
pered by lack of funds, and made
quate force or by limited legislation
and more or less red tape. There are
some states in which farmers are still
working out their road tax by the day
hauling gravel or stone in more OF
less haphazard fashion for the con
struction of roads; upon their efforts
and those of limited force of hlret
workers depends the maintenance OF

SUCCESS OF RURAL ROUTES
Important Factors Which Must Be
Given Consideration in Motor
TRANSPORTATION.

prepared by the United States Depart

There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner in the field of rural mo-
tor transportation. These four fac
tors are: CD The volume of farm
produc'S produced along the contem-
plated route; (2) the volume of mis-
celIancouS hauling which could be Sc
cured to supplement regular loads: CD
competition from other carriers which
would be encountered; (4D the Charac-
ter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. 1t may safely be
said that the features mentioned
above will ultimately determine the
success or failure of any rural route.
