GOOD ROADS AND BETTER
SCHOOLS.
(Continued from page 6.)
L The importance of improving
our roads is so great that it de
mands the most serious con
sideration of every one. It
should command our immediate
and persistent efforts. Both
old and young have an interest
in it. They should all be edu
cated to a realization of its im-
I 'portance and bearing on their
welfare; the old ones so they
fejiay begin the work of improve
ment, and the young ones so
(they will be prepared and will
ing to take up the work begun
and carry it forward to a high
degree of perfection.
To this end it would be a wise
policy to include in our school
Crse, both high school and
ege, a course in road con
struction and maintenance.
//Such a course would give our
Hboys and girls rudimentary
training as to the importance
>and advantages of improved
>ads. It would instill in them
desire and an ambition to have
liem and a sufficient knowledge
* the subject to enable them to
'ji -operate intelligently with the
ji en in charge of road work. It
~ij all teach them that by the
Exercise of a little knowledge
i and the judicious expenditure of
1 a little money and labor much of
' the hardships of farm life may
be softened and its isolation
dispelled, and that equal pleas
ure and comfort may be extract
ed from life in the country as
may be derived from city life.
j If our rural population can be
brought to a realization of this,
: the prevailing tendency to flock
from the farm to the city will
I cease. They will immediately
! begin to agitate the question of
improved roads and to build
them. As the roads are im
• proved the rural districts will
Kjbecome more attractive, the
farmers will continue to farm

! their alleys to the healthy atmos-
phere of the farm and become j
producers instead of idle con
sumers, and our country will
march forward to greater in
dustrial attainments and a high
er and nobler civilization.
The educational and social ad- j
vantages, therefore, which will
flow from improved roads are
manifold. It is of prime im-l
portance to the whole American
people that these advantages be
realized to the fullest extent.
It is important to those who in
habit our cities because the j
brain and morals of the city are'
constantly replenished from the'
farm home, where we find our
most ideal home life. It is the
infusion of good healthy blood
from the country into that of
| the city which maintains the
! poise between the ravages of
! the baser- forces at work to un
jdermine our civilization, and
j those which tend to uplift and
j elevate it. All these advantages
are important to those who in
habit our rural districts be
cause of their direct influence
! upon their welfare. And any
measure which benefits every
American citizen, adds to the
moral, economic and intellectual
advancement of our country,
and places the daily news of
the world and of our own coun
-1 try in the hands of our rural
population, will prove a blessing
to the entire country and add
strength and character to our
nation. —By Logan Waller Page,
1 Director of Public Roads, U. S.
Department of Agriculture.

THE DANBURY REPORTER.
"Truth" Replies to "Ignorance."
Ignorance, is it possible you
have condescended to read the I
Reporter, after all the assertions |
you have made to the contrary ?,
In what way did you think you
were concerned in the controver-!
sy between Stokes Teacher and .
S. G. ? You say when you read,
that letter your mind went back, j
Had you failed to learn that it is i
always better to look forward ?
Perhaps if you had, I would
have been spared the necessity
of penning these lines. I wish
all to understand that your at
tack upon myself was entirely
unprovoked and the writing of
this letter is repugnant to my
nature. But here goes. This
is your kind. I hate to have to i
administer the dose, but you
need it sorely. Therefore you
must have it. If it nauseates,
blame the medicine, not me. You
say our reference to your antec
cedents caused your blood to j
boil, did it ever occur to you
when you were writing those
proverbs, parables, anonymous
letters that others might have
blood capable of boiling? You
have written manv for no other
purpose than t> wound the
feelings of the living by your
mean insinuations against the
sacred dead. Were you caring
much for the "other fellow?"
Perhaps you think you have
cornered all there is of that
kind, but I'm here to tell you
I that you have not. You try to
leave the impression that you are
meek as Moses. How about the
time some of your neighbors call
ed to see you in regard to some
your very interesting letters. Oh,
you are a writer for a fact, you
must think all others forget
very soon. Have you forgotten
' the experience of a certain lady
i a few years ago in regard to a
little tattling ?
Do you remember the old
! adage "experience keeps a dear
; school 1" It seems that even its
! teaching has failed on you.
i You say the reason you were
! insulted by what was said in
1 reference to your protege is that
we were not half as good. I will[
only say that is a matter of
taste. You wonder if it,
wouldn't be good for some of us
to know what others think of
us. Think I can return that
compliment. A way* from home
you are referred to as bureau of
information, because you are
so ready to regale the ears of
others with an itemized account
of all the foolish nonsensical
disturbances that are afloat in
the community. Now what do
you suppose a really cultivated
mind thinks of you ?
You say you just crave to be
intelligent and eloquent, and to
live a model life, and to Jbe
capable of instructing others as
to principle, true worth, etc. I
scarcely know how to advise
you, but think you will have to
change your entire method ere
j you win the desired goal.
Now, in conclusion, will say
j the cap you constructed for my-
I self fits your own pate. And
! would advise you to try it on
next time before sending it to
I me, for our heads are not of the
: same proportion, therefore it's a
I misfit. You. of all persons, can
least afford to mention glass
houses, model lives, sweet tem
pers, and trying to pull and hold
j down others as every one of
i your acquaintances will affirm.
! Hope we haven't used any
I long words, not contained in
I
j your bluebaek, if we have, sup-
I pose some of your friends ex
| plain them for you.
He that passeth by and
i meddleth with strife belonging
! not to him, is like one that
! taketh a dog by the ears.
