The train traveled a di«t<anoB of nearly 13,500 miles, stopping i^t 250 towns which were located, in 301 .counties. The at tendance at the various meetings ranged from a little less than 100 to over 1,600 The method used in showing the people the advantages of good roads not only afforded an opportunity for them to secure a practical edu cation on the subject of highway construction but was so unique as to form a source of real entertain ment for those not directly inter ested in the movement. The train consisted of three coaches, two of which were specially fitted up for demonstration. One contained the working models of good roads show ing the various materials used in construction, miniii^re road ma chinery shown in actual operation, and enlarged photographs showing every pha^ of the good roads prob lem. The other car was equipped with a stereoptican and illustrated lectures were conducted by the government representatives, show- advan^ges of good roads over bad. In some of the counties visitwd the interest aroused by the train was such that the people went ac tively to work improving their roads, voting for bond issues and employing engineers to give skilled supervision. A representative of the American Association for High way Improvement accompanied the train for a portion of the trip and eflBcient work was done in organiz ing branches of the association in many of the counties. The Southern Railway handled the train without charge to the government or the people in the belief that greater prosperity will result from the construction of im proved roads in the South. With out a single exception the work of the road improvement train was most heartily approved and in every town there was heard unqualified expressions of the value of the work and public spirit shown by the Southern Railway in bearing. the expenses. ble in Asheville, with a capa- nianager in charge, who will distribute advertising matter, etc. It wuH decided that the initiation ee tixed at $1.
