those reporting consider the bean a

where its nontwining habit is very
desirable. as il does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult
as do the twining varieties. Second,
1t is found ideal as cover and green
manure crop in citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. Its use
should considerably reduce the fer

Inc many requirements for safety
VIII furnish "A variety of topics for
school chtidren'S essays and oral dis
cuSSion. The dangers of railroad
crossings al grade, the economic JUS
tihcatlon for abOlishing them, the i'm
portance of an unObStructed view up
ana down the track as vehicle
approaches, and the disadvantage of
sharp turns, ETC., are suggestive
subjects. Similarly there might also
be mentioned the questions raised by
street intersections and turns In
every town there are many crossings
where the autOiSt'S view is unnec-
essarily limited by fences, shrubbery,
or buildings; or where sharp curves
with limited visibility invite serious
accidents. GudepOsts, markers. and
other signs for the most efficient guild
ance Of traffic through thickly settled
communities also are part Of the
bigger and more inclusive topics of
the economic Importance of safety and
guidancc-the actual money value Of
human life and of accident prevention
Another question, in solving which
the engineer and economist will need
the help Of enlightened public opinion
(and this enlightenment should start
In the public schoOls), is that of the
relation Of the public highways to
railroads and canals. The advantage
of long hauls by rail and short hauls
by motor truck; feeding into main
terminal points by radiating systems
Of highways; a division of the trans
portation burden by parallel systems
of water rail, and road transporta-
lion, are some Of the subdivisions of
this general heading.
This listing of topics is not intended
to be complete or exact. but merely
suggestive. Those which refer TO con-
StructiOn' could best be utilized when
construction work is in progress In

other topics may be studied from
maps, of which the students might be
required to make tracings or free-hand
sketches showing the particular
features for which emphasis is desired,
or regarding which the exercise is
being written. State highway depart
mentS often feel the need of a better
popular understanding of the problems
of road construction, and their officials
would doubtless cooperate in hearty

The chief virtue Of sandy soil is that
