Many States also issue bulletins or reports which. are valuable for reference. The Federal Rureau of Public I Koads has a large amount of mate rial which is available for .assisting in school work of this kind. In ad dition to bulletins, circulars, and other printed matter which will be sent free to teachers and others who are interested, lantern slides ana mo tionpicture films may be loaned, without charge, to schobls equipped to use them. Other material, of a 1 graphical or pictorial nature, will be ! envelope from time to time and will j be available for use in connection ! with public-school instruction. I Many Interesting Studies. But the best equipment for high school work io a live, wide-a-wake community which believes in build ing good roads and keeping them in good condition. Under such condi tions there never will be any lack of material for making interesting phases of the economic, social, and constructional problems of highway communication. A collection of maps, some good photographs, and a carefully-chosen list c" books and magazines would co:.ii Ijte a useful educational outfit. Th assumption must, of course, be ue "e that these iacilitfes are at the command of an interested, active-minded anl inspir ing teacher. iNegroes are gradually returning to the Southern plantations from which they had been drawn to the ci ties by high wages.
