CHILDREN NEED VERY BEST ROADS Bad Midways Prevent Regular Attendance at School. SOCIAL GATHERINGS A TASK. National Grange 1« Urged to Work Tor Bettor Highways as a Help to Youngsters and Greater Interest In Church and Civic Improvement. On«* of the ti<lvantages that good roads are ton community that are oftcu lost sight of Is the prevention of chil dren attending school regularly, thus furthering the ambition qf every pur ent that his or her child shall be well educated. anil another is the preven tion of social Intercourse, which la only fully developed when the ••going” is easy over well cared for highways. In an article written for the national grange by Logan Waller Page he says: "The advantages of good roads ex tend to every citizen, whether he lives in city or country, and to every enter- OBTTlNft AN EDUCA fJOH. prise, whether it be agricultural, man ufacturing or mining. Al) are more or less dependent on the common high ways as au avenue of the commercial transportation, and in priqiortion as these highways are improved so as to facilitate transportation are they bene fited thereby. These benefits have been carefully computed and estimated in dollars and cents, and so enormous have they been thus demonstrated to lie that they present a convincing ar gument to any thinking man of the Importance and necessity for road im provement. "But there are other elements of ad vantage which more urgently recom mend the Improvement of our roads, advantages which deserve far more serious consideration titan tiny tintin clal advantages which we may gain and which cannot be measured accord ing to any monetary standard, but must be looked for In the elevation of our citizenship and the moral and in tellectual advancement of our people. "Most of our cities.and towns have good streets and driveways, which fa cilitate business and recreation. The people live close together, anti social and friendly intercourse is easy. The schools and churches are within easy reach of all. So our urban population has ample facilities for business, for recreation, for social intercourse and for attendance upon church and school. "It is different. however, with the two thirds of our people who are en gaged in agricultural pursuits and live away from the centers of business and population They have not the paved streets and good roads of the cities nud towns. They live apart from each other and hnve no roads such as afford easy and convenient means of trans acting business, of social intercourse and regular attendance u | h > ii church and school. To them will flow the maximum of benefits from Improved mails. Improved roads will bring them in closer touch with the centers of progress It will give them enlarged ideas and assist them to adopt the new methods which are so necessary for them to keep pace with the march of progress along other Hites, and as they advance so will our civilization. As they advance so will our entire country and in equal ratio. “Good roads would revolutionize our country schools. Contrast the lot of the country child on Ills way to school in winter with flint of the city child with only a few blocks of paved streets to walk. Our country child, with satchel over shoulders and lunch bas ket In hand, must leave the cheerful fireside of home from half an hour to nil hour before school opens in order to Is« there on lime. The roads are wet and muddy many months of the year The country Is open and the cold w inds are unmerciful In their attacks upon him So tIrtt by the time he reaches the schoolhouse, which is of ten unsclentlljcally ventilated and poorly healet!. his fret are so cold and his body so < hilled Unit hr Is unfit for study or recitation most of the day. ami the vxjtosnre and chilling of the body invite pneumonia and other dis eases. ■•Tltrse conditions cause broken and Irregular attendance. They create an «version in the child for the •: -hool room Instead <>f n pride In punctual attendance and studious advancement Not only this, but a mother hates to see Iter children trot off to school two or three miles awnv in cold, bad weather, ’ll fears that the Injurious lr*F4 [ COMrtUNITr B1LVLH H«lp« Holiday "Imi rovi'sl rond« wotthl he a grt>-it fnetor lit rialik-lng tfw |>er« riitni'r of Il literacy whis-lt rxiala tlirotlglHiMl Gw* country. <>ur pri*a«*iit lllltcravy ranuot I m - rerliietal l<> nnjt upprci htbJe extent except by niiirahnllng nil of lite chil dren.

But in the rural tlistriefs the opjrosito is true, if all of tire roads were in good condition ho as to remain higii and dry it would be possible to successfully enforce such a law even in the rural districts, but with the present condition of most of tile roads it is ir practicable. And the states in their efforts to thus bestow a blessing upon their children would lie attemptiug au unkind benefaction for which they would pay by a resultant loss in the physique and mental vigor of our future generations. “Church attendance would also be siimtilnted by road improvement. When one has a nice smooth road to travel over he doesn’t mind driving tlp-ee or four miles to church. Small congregations would thus lie augment ed. Tite people would become inter ested in and take a pride in their churches. Larger and more comfort able churches would tie built, and lroth ehildrr it and grown people would at tend church more regularly than they do now with our bad roads and distant and uncomfortable churches, for church going is not only beneficial from tite religious atmosphere which pervades churches, iritt there itralsoan attractive social feature connected witli them which is a benefit and a blessing to tite people. “The schools and churches of a com munity are its greatest moral and edu cational forces. Next to them per haps stands rural mail delivery, which brings tite |>eople of the rural districts In daily touch with the cities and busi ness world. It places in their hands tite dally papers, magazines and all of the current literature of the country, so that they may be as well informed as to what is transpiring in tlic politi cal. literary and commercial world as their brothers in the city. Tite Itenefi- cial effects of tills service upon the happiness and home comforts of our rural population are immeasurable, and nothing contributes to its etliclency and regularity more titan improved roads."

C uiriisu. j a.ss ROAD DRAINAGE. Pennsylvania's state highway com missioner gives the following advice on the question of road drainage: "Where water must, be diverteil from one side to the other of a road It should be enrried beneath the surface by means of pipes or culverts of ca pacity adequate to carry the maximum amount of water which ever will de mand passage. I’lpes of suitable ma terial when properly laid cost little or nothing to maintain beyond an oc casional cleaning out. Water breaks riM|uire constant attention and are fre quently Inadequate to prevent the flood water from overflowing down the sur face of the road. They are also seri ous obstacles to travel, increasing very materially the steepness of the hills where they are used and making nec essary the hauling of proportionately smaller loads. "in tlic majority of the townships in which any attempt is made to carry water across below instead of above the road surface It is done by means of plank culverts, usually constructed in tile most primitive manner, while the large water courses are spanned by structures consisting It: part, if not wholly, of wood. In some instances stone lias been used in a very com mendable manner, but it is found that many'of fire bridges, culverts and drains which have been built of stone have been laid up tn an inefficient manner, which has Ini in n few years to tlic necessity of exi»ensive repairs. For the smaller culverts and drains in Which smoothness of interior surface Is desirable four kinds of pipe arc available vitrified clay, cast iron, cor ruga toil iron and concrete. The use of wood for such purposes is to lie dis couraged. ami nil existing plank cul verts should tie replaced l>y some oth er material ns rapidly as practicable. Vitrified clay irtpes are much cheap er than Iron, but unless very carefully protected are very liable to breakage. Except In rare cases this material is not recommended by the department."
