BEAUTIFY STATE ROADS.

With the thawing spring weather, work
On the proposed state highways may be-
gin any minute.
Stale bonds amounting to $4,000. 900
have been issued for road building and
improvements. With this sum the state
is to have a system of highways, but a
system Of highways which will help to
beautify the surroundings.
Permanency Of state roads must be
carefully considered by the Slate High.
way Commission; but permanently is not
the only consideration. A road may be
durable; and yet il may be an eyesore. 1t
is not permanency alone but the beauty
Of highways that attracts tourists and
travellers.
The state Of Indiana has proposed to
build model highway, about two miles in
length, along which will be small parks
and places of interes. to passers-by. This
plan, although yet in the stage Of expe-
rimemafion, gives promise Of popularity
and wide adoption in the future.
The Missouri road scheme embraces a
large territory. Long miles Of roads pro-
duce monofony; and lengthy highways
give more reason, and have more need, Of
complete systems of Identification than
shorter ,horoughfares.
Beauty should not be neglected in the
forthcoming building Of state highways.

ploits in the barren and frozen North,
land of snow and ice. Instead it heard
word pictures Of a country Of vast but
rndeveloped resources, where flowers
bloom and reindeer Craze peacefully on
grassy slopes. fa
The popular conception Of the Arhc
region has ii peopled only with fur-clad
Eskimos who emerge from ice igloos only
when necessary to spear q mess OF fish
for the evening repast or TO chase away
from the door some wandering walus OF
inquisitive polar bear. The trouble is
that geography is but little taught in our
schools, and that little is often false.
Geography is one Of the most impor-
liant Of the liberalizing studies, and the
most neglected. We studied it in the low
e, grades, but We liked it chiefly because
the big textbook made an excellent shield
behind which TO commit or plot further
mischief. We learned the names Of the
continents and possibly the capitals Of
the states. Then we threw aside the dog
cared book, and our geographical edu-
cation was complete.
The lack Of geographical knowledge is
rot confined to the North. Few Colum-
bians could bound" Boone County cor.
rectly. Probably not many more could
name offhand the states that border on
Missouri.
Ignorance Of the world We live in makes
for provincialism Of the worst sort. There
should be revival Of geography, not only
in the grade schools but in high schools
and even in the University.

THE NEW BOOKS
Head of the House of Coombe." :"

A little slower in its action is this
latest volume by Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, but considerably better written than
the average popular novel. The author
is conscientious and hard working
craftsman, and her book is well if no,
brilliantly written.
The book is an atmosphere novel;
that is, every character is carefully paint
ed 20 make him appear as typical and
exceedingly Gkable member of the So
ciety in which he moves. The growth Of
the story is Of the young chieftain, Don
al Muir. "a splendid young Highlander"
"a kind of miracle Of good looks and
tskingness." The heroine is Robin, a
queer, little. lOveless girl. and between
the Two there grew up most unusual
sort Of young love.
Mrs. Burnett's stories have singular
emotional appeal. They seem to awaken
in the reader something of the lifelong
hunger for love. She knows how to play
on ones hear,-s.rings.

AMERICA TO THE FORE.

While none the less guarded, the report
rom Washington that the President ~is
considering asking Congress to authorize
the appointment Of an American as men,
ber Of the Reparaiion Commission" is
also encouraging.
|, would indicate that America had de-
ridod TO abandon her aloof attitude, once
more, as she did in the World War, and
take her part in the reconstruction of a
Gorld shattered and helpless, which turns
to her for assistance.
The decisions Of the Reparations Com
mission are charged with importance for
fhe present and significance for the fu-
lure The participation of America in
these decisions and the work Of rebuild
ing the world are needed during the time
which viii bring new hopes and encour-
asement or more bitter despair to SO many
waiting nations.
Americas remoieness from the world
should bring 20 her not alienation from
world affairs, but a correct perspective
and clear conception through which she
should be able to extend the hand of SER
vice. healing and moderation.
The arms conference resulted in a
great service to civilization. Its results
which will be felt increasingly as time
goes on should be augmented by Ameri-
cas- continued assistance and aid to other
nations.
The American response to the call for
help should be immediate. The great op.
por,uniiy which is before her to again
demonstrate her humaniiarianism and
good will should not be neglected.
