road building. We do not want pro- moters' who see vast opportunity for making huge profits in the expenditure of the peoples money, but we do want these huge sums in the hands of com panies who have Good-Roads exper- fence and who have shown their capa ihiities through their road building of the past.
 Those who have had much to do with highways know that the high way engineer must be trained man, as well as any other engineer. He must be able to locate roads properly; must know all about materials which have to go into the roads in order to make them stand up; must be some what of a financier in order to expend the money wisely, but above all he should know the type of road which is best suited through the country where the road is built.
 As we all know, concrete road is the most expensive and has the long est life. However, concreate roads are not necessary everywhere. By that mean, where traffic is not heavy and is confined to only certain periods of the season. It follows, therefore that in a country of this description, con- crete road would not be necessary, and could be supplanted by a less ex- pensive method of road building. This all comes under the observation of the highway engineer and is just one req son why we should have experienced men in these executive positions that call for the laying out of the good roads program. Put this matter up to the men who are experienced road builders and we will be rewarded with having excellent roads for good many years to come"

BEST TALENT SHOULD
 BE EMPLOYED IN GOOD
 ROADS WORK PLANNED

Executive and engineering ability of the highest order is absolutely neces- sary to efficiently build the many miles of good roads that will be constructed throughout the United States during the next five years" says G. H. Reuben of the Reuben Auto company, local Dort distributor.
 During the past few months, and ever since the war has shown US the vital importance of good road building. goods roads has been the topic of prob ably more articles and speeches in the automotive industry than any other one subject
 But with all this talk of good roads, We have lost track of one highly i'm portant feature, and that is, placing the vast expenditure of our good roads in the rands of experienced road build CTS, men who thoroughly familiar with good roads requirements.
 With hundreds of millions of dollars available for road construction and other millions of dollars worth of mo- tor equipment made available to the state highways departments through the concessions of the War Depart ment, the time has come when we should look about us and see that we have behind this great effort intelli- gent direction.
 "A road that is built today and lasts few years is very poor investment. It means that taxation will be contin- uously imposed upon the public in order to keep, these roads in repair and in the end they will cose more than an efficient road-making program would cost.
 | What we want primarily are men who have spent their lives in good

 WILL SOON READJUST TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

T predict that in very short time there will be no such thing as trans portation tie-up, or that we must de- pend on one type of equipment to answer industry's demands for ade- quate transportation facilities" George Reubens of the Reubens Auto com pany, local Kissel distributor. said.
 "The recent transportation strikes in different parts of the country have brought home the extent to which in- dustrial and agricultural America de- pends on the country's present trans portation equipment.
 By tieing up this equipment, the country's industrial, mercantile and agricultural business interests are thrown out of gear a procedure too vital to the nations prosperity to re- main in such an uncertain condition. | T predictt hat soon the motor truck will cause rcadjusCment in trans portation conditions, brought on not only by the economic development of the country, or the unusual good health of business, but a general dis satisfaction with temporary transpor- tation that makes transportation cer- tainty doubtful.'

CORRESPONDENCE TEACHING DE-
VEIjOPED BY UNIVERSITY.

It was once thought that to gain
knowledge in any systematic manner
one must put himself under the direct,
personal supervision Of a teacher. Many
still think this, and when it is lmpos-
sible give up all effort at self improve
ment. It is necessary to call to their
attention the fact that instruction by
correspondence has been developed to
meet Just such needs as theirs. so I'M
portant has it become that it is includ-
ed in the activities Of the State UNI
versity at Minneapolis and the work is
conducted F the Correspondence Study
Department of the General Extension
Division.
The work as at present organized IN
~cludes preparatory and college grade
courses and vocational courses in bust
ness and engineering subjects. The
preparatory courses are of high school
grade.- The college courses enable one
to work for credit toward degree from
the University. AS many as half the
credits required may be earned in this
way. Students who seek university
credit must be able to satisfy the en-
trance requirements Of the University,
.but if credit is not desired, any one
may register for these courses. Many
of them are of general value, dealing
as they do with economics, history,
political science, sociology, and other
subjects of present interest. The voca-
tional courses are practical in their ma
ture and make constant application of
the principles they teach. These, as
well as the other types Of courses, will
be increased in number and scope as
the deman nd grows.
