Road Building Ahead.

4 circular letter sent out by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, says:
" Fifteen to twenty years Of building
good roads lie ahead of the United
States. Under the program which the
country has adopted there will lie huilt
during that time. 1S0Ge0 miles of I'M
proved highways which will constitute
the Federal-aid highway system and an
equal Or greater mileage of state and
local reads. When the great job is
done, the transportation facilities of
the country will far exceed those Of
any other nation. past or present, i'll
the world The highways of the an
cient Romans. whose fame has come
down through the centuries, will pale
by comparison.
Officials of the bureau place the
aggregate cost of the Federal-aid pro-
gram alone at about S3,0NtO0u.OtWs
spread over the twenty-year period.
They base this estimate on an average
cost of $4,000 per mile. The average
cost. i'll turn, takes into consideration
all classes of improved roadways from
the cheapest to the most expensive
types. Approximately one-third of the
proposed SYSTEM or 6O,0G0 miles of inn
proved highways, already are either
| built or building.
The program is Il new one. Up to
comparatively recent years. road build
| ing in the United States had been con-
| Quoted without special regard to a
national system. Highways had Eeen
constructed where needed without con-
sidering whether they would link IN
| in the most effective manner with the
whole network of roads to be spread
over the Nation.
THE present Federal-aid road-liuild-
| state twill contemplate the construc-
/ ton of only such roads as fit into the
national program and contribute to the
national system. At the same time the
| roads will lie so selected as to serve the
most important local requirements
There will be main lines of highwa!
communication between centers ani
thousands of miles of feeder roads
reaching back into the more sparseiA
settled REGIONS and into the rich agri
| cultural sections. to tap areas WHOSE
population and products will flow ovel

The letter further states that ''ths

into most efficient methods of road

The Little Red School House.

A haze Of romance hangs about the
little old red school house which many
of us attended as boys and girls, and
we cherish pleasant memories in con-
nection with it. But romance and
memory are all that is left, or that
should be left, of the primitive school
houses Of our youth. They have gone
the way Of the tallow candle. the OK
team and the stage coach-outstrippe
and discarded by modern requirements.
The little weather-beaten school
houses Of old served their purpose well,
because they were the best that could
he produced at that time, and they full
filled the requirements Of an education
as 1t was understood at that time,
when the three Rs" reading. riting
and 'rithmatic'-were all that it had
entered into the mind Of man to con-
ceive necessary as to cover every need
The children who received the rudi-
ments Of their education in the little
primitive school houses are the men

handicaps thereof, demanding better
conditions, and better equipment, for
the education of their own children.
They realize, first of all, that no child
can do his or her hest ut study if nl-
comfortably housed, and the demand
everywhere, in the more progressive
communities, whether rural or urban,
IN for better, more comfortable and
more sanitary school houses.
In many states the little district
schools arc being abolished. and good,
modern buildings erected at central
points. to he used jointly by several OF
the old districts. In the cities and
towns. where, oft times. people are al
ready tax-ridden, bond issues are easily
and readily voted for the purpose OF
erecting and equipping modern school
houses, because of the realization
everywhere of the vital Importance and
necessity Of such. and because al
thinking people know that any towl
or any community without adequate
school facilities is looked at askance
by the more progressive and intelligent
people OF to-day.
On Tuesday, November 7th. a specia
election will be held in School District
No. s, BOssier Parish. to vote on thu
proposition Of issuing bonds to thu
amount of $4,000. for the purpose o
constructing modern brick .schoo
building In Benton for the benefit o
the children of the district. 1t ha.
been estimated that a tax levy of :
mills will meet these bonds, and this

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
FIRMLY ESTABLISHED
Supreme Court Decides Il Ef-
tsctke In States That Did
Not Ratify Il.

Wash ing ton. Feb. 2S.--The decision
upholding the conatitutionality OF the
Woman's Suffrage amendment handed
down yesterday represented the
unanimous ruling OF the U. s. Supreme
Court.
The challenge came from the state
ot Maryland where Oscar Lesser and
others sought TO prevent the registra-
ten of two women as qualified voters
In Baltimore. Lesser and his assocl-
ates contcnded that the Constitution
of Maryland limited suffrage TO men;
that the Legislature OF Maryland had
refused 10 ratfy the worAan's suffrage
amendment. and that the amendment
had not become a part OF the Federal
Constitution. The Maryland State
courts sustained the amendment.
The contention that an amendment
TO the Federal Constitution relating
10 additions TO the electorate cannot be
made without the consent OF the State
the court disposed OF by reference 20
the fifteenth or equal suffrage amend
ment. declaring that zone cannot be
valid and tho other invalid" II point
cd out that the validity OF the Fif-
tccnth Amendment had been recog-
nized for half a century.
The suggestion that several OF the
thirty-s'x states which ratified the
Nineteenth Amendment had provisions
IA their State Constitution which pro-
hihiicd the Legislatures from ratify-
ius. could not be entertained. the court
stated. because the State Legislature
derived their power in such matters
from the Federal Constitution which
"trans,cnds any limitations sought 10

The remaining objection. that tho

West Virginia are imperative be-
