THE GOSPEL OF By bond issues and by appropriations through the
GOOD ROADS various county
being spread over the length and breadth of the state and the logic of road
improvement has taken a firmer hold on the minds of the people than ever
before in the history of the movement.
For more than 20 years, the gospel of road improvement has been
taught in all of the commercial clubs and public spirited organizations every
where but the question has been neglected from time to time because of the
expense that is involved, the ultimate saving both to the city and to the
country haying been lost sight of in face of the original cost.
But, today, conditions have materially changed. Everywhere -over the
state, the people are awakening to a realization that only by the construction
of better roads and by the improvement of those that they have can they
reduce the cost of transportation to the city markets and cut down the ex
pense to the farmer with a resulting increase in the size of his bank account.
Jackson county has been one of the leaders of the state in the matter
of good roads. A pavement highway that will later form one of the 'links
in the great Pacific Highway stretching up and down the coast will be con
structed under the direction of Major Bowlby, state highway engineer, at
a cost of $500,000.
Last Tuesday, the people of that county voted the bonds that would
make that unit in the state government one long line of highway creditable
not only to the county that builds it but to the state in which it lies. For
good roads clo not only reflect credit upon the builder of them but they
spread the contagion through neighboring and adjoining counties and dis
tricts and inspire -in other governmental units the ambition to show them
selves as energetic and progressive as those that have them.
' Good roads are more contagious than smallpox. They spread the fever
rapidly through -communities and counties and increase in virilence as they
spread. There is nothing better than a good road to enforce the" logic of
road improvement and there is no more wholesome force for the betterment
of the public highways than the existence, either in this county or adjoining
ones, of thoroughfares that are completely up to date in the matter of scien
tific construction and engineering.
For the improvement of the highways of the state, Jackson county
has taken a step in the right direction. Its heavy vote for the construction
of the new highway" indicates the progressiveness of the voting strength
of that unit in the state government. It shows that the farmers there re
alize the importance of a good road in the question of transportation of
products to the markets and that this importance has been impressed upon
the people of the cities in the county until they have supported heavily and
enthusiastically the demand of those farmers for better road work and more
road work through the districts. ' ,
Such a step on the part of Jackson county will have a wholesome effect
upon the other units of the state in the matter of road improvement. It will
show other counties how a good permanent highway can be built at a cost
that is in nowise prohibitive. It will prove, beyond the possibility of ques
tion, that a good highway cuts the transportaton cost, that it adds money
to the farmer's bank deposit, that it means an annual saving in that county
alone of nearly enough in one single year to pay for the construction work.
There is nothing succeeds like success and there is nothing that gives
a greater impetus to the most up to date road building than the actual con
struction of a' road by capable engineers and thev results that are gained the

matter of better roads when the commissioners let a contract the other day
Unskilled Labor Is a Waste
That Could Be Rectified
By OWEN R LOVEJOY. General Secretary of the National Child Labor
Committee
THERE IS NO TASK WHICH CAN BE A3 WELL PERFORMED BY
THE UNINTELLIGENT A3 BY THE INTELLIGENT WORKER, AND
IT IS AS TRUE THAT NO WORK EVER WILL EXI8T WHICH IS SO
8INIPLE THAT THE TRAINED WORKER CANNOT DO IT BETTER THAN
THE UNTRAINED WORKER. '
The minimum wage must be advanced ami will be as the average of
trained intelligence is raised. '
The theory that there should be, for the good of the community, a
large class so unskilled that they are glad to get any work to do at any
wage has been a STUMBLING BLOCK IN THE PATH OF PROG
RESS for, lo, many years. We are
VERSANT WITH ITS FALSITY. , . " .
In the United States there is no such thing as any industry demand
ing UNSKILLED labor. The presence of such labor is A NA
TIONAL HANDICAP. We have it plentifully. We have thousands of
unskilled workers who can do any rough old job you put them at and
do it wrong. - . ;
' But no kind of work which ever has been done by any human being,
from the painting of a picture to the gathering of garbage, CAN BE
DONE AS WELL BY UNSKILLED AS BY SKILLED WORK
PEOPLE. We must, as soon as may be, remove the wrong impression
from our minds. It has been the base of much of our industrial trouble.

courts, the gospel of good roads is
now beginning to become CON
OREGON CITY,
for one mile of macadam on the River road running near Milwaukie. The
court has also planned the construction of several bridges through the county
that shorten the haul and add materially to the reduction in the transporta
tion cost. Shorter hauls and easier hauls are the-results that are to be
gained from road improvement everywhere and-they can be as easily gained
in Clackamas County as they have been in thousands of other places through
the state and nation. . ., " ...
The first step has been taken. The county court has let its first bid
for a permanent road one good long mile of it. There is no reason why
more miles should not be added to that important highway in the county or
why miles of road elsewhere should not be built where they will form main
trunk lines for a permanent system of road construction adding to the bank
roll of the farmer and faciliating the ease of haul into the markets of the
city. '
HOME STUDY IN Individual study is the key note of a teacher's
SCHOOL TEACHING success and upon the extent to which he applies
that investigation of the peculiar characteristics of each child before him in
his classes, together with the home life
depends that teacher's results in the
child in his daily work. -
Superintendent L. R. Alderman
delivered before 1000 of his teachers
a meeting the other day in his high school auditorium and impressed upon
the faculty mind of that gathering the importance that each individual case
bears to the general average of success in school work. - -
No truth is so strong in educational work as that which the new-superintendent
emphasized at the meeting that the teacher's work is not done
when the gong has sounded for the end of the session nor is all of the work
fo be done in the class room when the child is in school. . Outside of the
school room, there are influences at work that may counteract all of the
efforts that teacher has put forth during that day and that art enough to
discourage the best professional man or woman on the faculty of any public
institution.
Years ago, children failed to pass their examinations, dropped behind in
their classes, showed no interest in their work in spite, of all that the teacher
iuld do or say that would stimulate in them the interest that was lacking.
Investigations revealed the fact that some of these children were suffering
from maladies of various kinds, that they were not physically fit be in a school
room, and that their diseases were such that tbey-could not concentrate their
mind upon the work in hand. -
These discoveries resulted in' the campaign that has now spread over the
whole country for free examinations for every child who attends the city
schools and for medical investigations into the cause of every delinquency that
exists in class work. .
The results of these campaigns have been astonishing. They have shown
an improvement in the work of 90 per cent of the children who were, be
fore, unable to handle their class work or who showed that they couU not
hold their minds to their studies.
A thorough study of home life surrounding each child in the city schools
will reveal things to the teacher of which he had not dreamed and will give
him pointers on the methods that should be used in the developing of an
interest in the work of the school and in the average of sucoess in the class
of which he is a part. , 1

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Gratifying Progress Shown In Road
Construction Everywhere.
That there are upward of $400,000,000
of good roads bonds issued and . out
standing is indicated by the Good
Roads Year Book of the United States.,
tbe 1913 edition of which has just been
Issued, containing a resume or the
whole road situation. It Is evident that,
whatever may be the faults in methods
of construction and maintenance, mon
ey is being spent In sufficient amount
to bring about a vast Improvement in
the public roads. The year book
shows $137,000,000 of state and road
bonds authorized and $156,000,000 of
county bonds outstanding on Jan. 1,
1913. making a total of $293,500,000.
As this is based on reports from about
75 per cent of the counties In the Unit
ed States and as a large number of the
individual townships have not reported,
it is estimated that the amounts not re
ported would run the aggregate up to
probably $350,000,000, to which should
be added ten or fifteen million dollars
of the bonds voted in 1912. which have
not yet been issued.
Gratifying progress in road construc
tion during the past few years is indi
cated by the statement In the year
book that, while the percentage of all
road improvement in the United States
at the close of 1909 was &66 per cent
the revised statistics to Dec. 31. 1911.
show an improved mileage of 10.1 per
cent or a net gain of 1.44 per cent
This does not sound so Impressive in
terms of percentage, but It means that
in the two year period more than 34.
000 miles of improved roads were con
structed, or 10,000 miles more than the
entire mileage of national roads in
