BY per cent more than the present
Standard. This means that 100000
additional tons OF slate would be sent

amount of impurities to market would
squire about 10000 railroad cars,
Secessitating from two to ten weeks
Tor its delivery. The bureau of mines

education is along purely intellectual
lines, and efforts which tend to the
development Of the mental, physical
and moral forces of the young are all
the more necessary to make the future
generation n creditabe one.

now that the government will aid in
the work.

the road be drained? What are the
laws governing highway construction
There are few questions answered
in extension circular Is dealing with
country roads.
Matters of prime consideration in
locating road are: Easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine.

avoiding unnecessary creek crossings.

Whenever possible to avoid ii. good
location should not he rejected merely
because certain roadway has been in
use for some time. If the location of
a used road is bad It should be
changed If possible. 10 relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings at grades.
The grade Of the road is important
for on this depends the weight Of the
load which can be hauled economically.
BY grade Is meant the rise or fall In
feet for each 100 feet in horizontal
length OF road, usually expressed In
percentage. A per cent grade means
that the road rises or falls ) feet each
100 feet asng its center line. Il has
been calculated that on a smooth coun.
try road the load that one horse could
pull on level would require TWO On

grade and four on a IL per cent grade.
Engineers usually figure 6 per cent
grade as n maximum.

as well managed as other public work.
Projects have been too narrowly lin
tied TO localities. resultin. n frag.
mentary effort. Skilled locating and
supervision Of construction have been
generally lacking. The remedies are:
First, wider cooperation and the
adoption Of broad schemes of improve

than counties. Second, the absolute
elimination Of political considerations
In the spending Of money. Third, Sc
