prevail Of the use of local materials
is not infrequently given for the pur-
pose Of encouraging local production.
In parts Of the Far West the entire
absence of water along a right of way,
and the expense Of keeping an ade-
quate supply, often make it necessary
to approve the building of type Of
construction that can be built with
out using large quantities of water.
\ The initial decision as to the type
Of a particular road is made by the
state highways department. The bureau
Of public roads made an independent
study of the conditions. The most
suitable type Of road in the judgment
Of the engineers of the State depart
ment and of the bureau Of public
roads is finally decided upon. The
earth, sand-clay and gravel roads
which make up GO per cent Of the
mileage have cost only about one
fourth of the federal-aid funds used,
while the higher types, including &C.
ment concrete, brick and bituminous
concrete have called for 60 per cent
Of the money to build "a per cent Of
the mileage.

quirement that the roads shall be

should be built. 1t has been recog-
nized that the heavy and expensive

sometimes happens that a person
who is below the average in most
things will finally reveal talent for
some specially that makes his or her
prospects bright thru specializing.
While they are doing farm work
and taking care of animals, they are
doing it the best. They SOW. pure
seed; they breed pure breeds. They
raise something useful and Of a
breed or variety that brings best re-
turns, and which when learned, can
be done by themselves when they 60
out to start life for themselves. In
that respect the school is an agricul-
tural college and demonstration
farm. 1t is an apprenticeship at a
good school and home. They are
given every advantage for being hon
est and loyal and trustworthy, and
this extends not only to the individ-
Fual, but to the classes or companies
of which they are members, and If
an individual takes no pride in his
company record, then the other
members of the company force the
issue by getting him interested or If
he continues to be Indifferent, they
make life miserable for him until he
awakes to the company spirit. They
do this chiefly by joking and teasing
him about his short comings and by
showing him from day to day how he
hurts the company record and pre-
vents them all from enjoying the full
privileges which the other members
earn, but which they sacrifice by his
blotting the company record. II they
are working for prize and his lack
of interest and. help makes them
lose it, they make him feel his re-
sponsibility In the matter, so there
is no middle. ground. He must join
in their good endeavors or find his
own life growing into greater failure
in the midst of opportunity. When
he begins to try, they begin to help
him. "
The story of how all these princi-
pies are carried into effect and daily
practice might be tedious, and with
our brief observation of the work it
would be more or less unreliable and
imperfect. An examination of the

alarmed at this rapid increase
Of American pioneers which
threatened to crowd out the Mex

measures were adopted and

in rebellion in 1886. During this

the Republic Of Texas was

name the Lone Star State. After
considerable opposition from the
North, Texas was annexed to
the Union and became the TWEEN
