The Bilbe in
 the Public School

Last year the legislature of Ala bama enacted a law requiring daily reading of the Bible in the public schools of the state Sim liar legislation should be enacted in every state. If the Bible is. as we claim, the foundation of our legal and moral codes, it should, by all means be made a part of the training of every child. This need is emphasized by the recent alarming decreased Sunday school attendance, accompanied by an increase in juvenile crime. It is gratifying tosnote that in a num- Der of states, East, West and South, groups of earnest citizens have recently started a move ment to restore the old plan of opening every public school sess- ion with Bible reading. accom- panied by hymn ard prayer.
 It goes without saying that no denomination should be giv- en to the use of the Bible in the public school, and in some cases this is made mandatory by the provision that the reading shall be without sectarlan comment.
 The text of the Alabama law follows:
 Section 1. That all schools in that state that are supported in whole or in part by public funds, be and the same are hereby reQuir- ed to have once every school day, readings from the Holy Bible.
 Sec, 2. Be it further enacted, that teachers in making month ly reports shall show on the same that they have compiled with this act. and superintendents of city schools in drawing public funds shall certify compliance with this act.
 Sec. 8. Be 1t luther enacted, That schools in the state subject to the provisions of this act shall not he alb wed 10 draw public funds unless the provisions of this act are compiled with, and the State Superintendent of Ed ucation in charged with the CT. forcement of tha provisions here of.

WHAT GOOD HIGHWAYS MEAN
Enable Farmers to Get Their Differ
Ont Crops to Market at Least
Possible Expense.

Farmers are business men and In
order to conduct their farms In
businesslike way and cope with other
business men in the state they must
devise ways and means of reducing
the expenses Of operation" said L. z.
Birdsall in submitting a resolution to
the Illinois Agricultural association.
He added: "In no way can the ex-
pense of farming be reduced as COM
pletely as by securing good roads run
ming by the farms which will enable
the delivery of crops to market with
the least possible expense"
That Is good sound sense and COM
ing from practical farmer 1t shows
that farmers are keenly alive to the
need and value Of improved roads.
Mr.. Birdsall lays further emphasis on
the need of selecting the most com
petent men for highway officials SO
that the best talent may be available
for road building and repairing.

GOOD
ROADS
BUILDING OF BETTER ROADS
Highway Educational Work Extending
Its Scope In Various Sections Of
the Country.

The extent to which the people Of
the United States are committing
themselves to definite policy of high
way development Is shown by reports
reaching the federal highway council
from all sections Of the country.
In the face of high cost for both ma
terials and labor, and the fact that In
some states construction programs
must be altered somewhat to meet ex-
listing labor and material conditions,
there is no tendency upon the part OF
the people to slow down in their plans
to place the nations highways upon
higher plane In the countrys transpor-
tation system. Tersely stated, they
are sold to the heels" on the PROPOSE
ton to construct highways that will
release rather than restrict traffic. and
they are dismissing labor and material
problems with curt instructions to
their official servants that 1t is up to
them to deliver the roads.
A curious fact in connection with
construction problems at the present
moment is that the building Of roads Is
seriously hindered by the same evil
which they are designed to remove
lack Of transportation. According to
authoritative information, production
Ia halted to a greater degree by made
quate transportation facilities than by
labor shortage. AT least this Is true 1t
Is claimed, in the production of ma
terials for road building.
Highway officials-state and county
as well as national-are facing their
duties with patience and tact, and out
Of maze Of trying situations con-
struction is going ahead at fairly sat
isfactory rate. But as Paul D. Sar-

cient and particularly violent seismic
disturbance, which had faulted the

distance. According to my calcua-
ton, that other man should have cut
