THE ROADS

“At this season of the year, particularly alter a rain- storm, it is customary to rail about the condition of the roads. The complaint usually is about ninety-“me D91' cent. pb! tical anti the balance genuine complaint with

cause. T%i:: are all over the province pieces of road that will not be too close a scrutiny or permit ofa too loose rein to it `spirited horse, These Pieces are dlscolferiid occasionally by* some one who has been disappointed either in love or in securing an office, and he forthwith proceeds to rail against the Government. There are, on the other hiiiid, miles of as good roads as can be found anywhere on the contikiit, but the disappointed lover 01° office seeker passes them over unnoticed. lt is only when he strikes ii rut that his peusonal grievances ure brought to his attention and he accowngly UGHDB TUB aniiillemas upon the Government. _ ’

Laying aside all the arguments that the BXCGSSIVS

rains of the present season might suggest as to the cause

of had spots in the roads, it' will be ii_dmitted by every fnir~niinded per-son that our country roads, from time im- memorial, have not been any better than they ought to be; that in many districts they have always .been much worse than they ought to be. But it will also be 'admitted that where the roads are either good or bad the cfredlt or the blame attaches to the district itself, n_ot alone to the overseer, not to the Government, not even to the weather. lt is solely due to the public spirit or the want ot' it in the community. '

There are sections of this province which are justly

proud of th_eir roads, the people of which make it a boast that they have the best roads in the province. They make it their business to have a. good road; they are united in ‘demanding it. lf the road master neglects his duty they get after him. They do not sit down with their feet on the kitchen stove and blame the Government for appointing Mr. So-and-So road master. They do not adopt this com- fortable attitude after a winter snowstorm and blame the i“‘Gov"ernment” for not breaking the roads. They go out, when summoned by the road master and do their bit in breaking the roads.

The Government has provided all the machinery ne-

cessary to keep the roads and bridges in good condition. There is a road master in every district, whose duty it is to see that the roads are properly kept up. The road masters are ull human. They, like the rest of us, are obliged to make necessary allowances and make necessary provision for weather conditions. if a storm destroys the work they have done they, like the rest of us. mustrepair the damage. Unlike the rest of us, if they have the good lfortunc to live in a progressive community, they have the benefit of the co-operation of their neighbors und the dum- age by rain or storm is soon overcome.

lf, on the other hand, they live in it community that

sits with its feet on the kitchen stove and waits for the “Government” to come and repair the roads. the effect will he seen on the roads.

Our people do not all realize the fact that strangers

and visitors to our province who drive over our country roads, invariably take the condition of the roads as the measure of the community’s progressiveness. The value of farm lands is very generally set. by the condition of the roads in the vicinity. The progressive, thrifty, well-to-do sections of the province have good roads; the neglected roads are almost altogether confined to those sections in which the public spirit is wanting, where each is blaming his neighbor or the Government for neglect.

This spring we have had excessive and continuous

rains, making the best of our roads muddy and in some places rutty. With our soft soil this is largely unavoidable but very much can be done by concerted action and co- operation on the part of the people. They can hold meet- ings, when necessary, and confer together as to the best means ot' overcoming difficulties peculiar to the locality. They can help each other and help the road master. Those who do their road-making by criticizing the work done by others, wltliout lending a hand to better the conditions are standing in tlielr own light as well as in that of others. Mutual help and a healthy pride in the up-keep of the com- miiiilty ns a whole is the only antidote for bud roads and we have yet to find the section of this province in which this spirit is to be found that has any complaint to make about its roads.

TACTICS THAT FAILED , I

About a month ago, it correspondent named Mr. John

S. Gaudet, St. Louis, wrote us on the subject of Egg Circles, making certain statements regarding the prices paid by the Palmer Road Egg Circle and alleging that he and others had been "fleeced." He further inslnuateti that there was "graft" in connection with the Circles, and inquired whe. ther it was the. Dominlonrtlovernment officials or the farmers. wliqt:i,hg'i deslg'iigiiiit_f‘_.'iho smaller ri-y,'" who were the "grafters." ff wo" .

For substantlatlon of his charges* Mil. Gliidet -referred

us to Mr. Jerome `.i. Doucette, Pleasant View, and invited us to write that gentleman who could, liesiiid, t'ell us "the amount of money he lost by giving to the 'circle up to Marsh of this year, when he left lt."

We took Mr. Gaudet at his word and immediately wrote

Mr. Doiioette requesting him to let us have his experience of E53' Circles. and at the same time wrote`to Mr. Gaudet explaining what we had done. No reply was received by us from either- Mr. Douoette, or Mr. Gaudet. Evidently Mr. Gaudet did not use the influence he was supposed to have with his friend to induce him to comply with our request. we were 'in the position of not having the mb. lilnliltlvh Of the vhlrses which Mi-. cannot proieri-sit and accordingly we held his letter. although Mr. Benson. to whom we had referred the matter. kindly favored in gym, his reply.

Heretofore ln_our school books,_fartiiing and farmers were caricatured, rather than truly plct_ured. The farmer was shown in shirt sleeves and overalls driving a. load of vege- tables to market, while the smartly gotten up "city chap" wliizzed by him with a splendid horse and a handsome rig. The farm was the “slow country," the city the scene of dress and enjoyment. Boys and girls readily acquired the thought with which their school books made them familiar. They became disgusted with the slow country and made their way into the cities or anywhere away from the farm, and very often to their later regret.

Principal Landrlgan's idea is to show the farm in its

true relation to .the life of the community. and we under- stand that as many as possible of the school books will be illustrated with farm scenes, garden plots, farm homes, prize animals, etc., .showing the farm and farm life at its best. We believe this will do much to bind the young closer to the farms and give them a healthier and more profitable ideii of farm life. ,

We congratulate Mr. Landrignn on his scheme and trust

it will be carried further. `

EDUCATIONAL RECREATION 1

Superintendent Clarke of the Dominion Experimental

Station at Charlottetown is issuing the usual invitations to Farniers‘ Institutes to visit the farm during the summer. No doubt the invitation will, as usual, meet with a general response and many picnics be held. `

of schools were represented by their pupils at some of the plciilcs. This year ii new departure is being made. Super- inteiident Campbell is making arrangements wliercby whole schools may attend in a body. This move will, we feel assured, be greatly appreciated and we _have no doubt that many of the summer's most enjoyable picnics will be those at tliejlxperlmental Station, when teachers and pupils will be present. There are many new and in- teresting features added this year on the farm. A number of new cultural methods are being tried out in the growing of vegetables and farm crops. The progress of these nie- thods will be educatlve and interesting to the pupils and no doubt, as usual, the genial Superintendent will take the usual pains to inform and interest his visitors. These experiments will be in line with the nature study and school garden movement and will prove a long step tow- ards making these subjects attractive to the pupils.

f CHEMICAL FIGHTING

' _ It is stated that the Germans have evolved ti gas which will socnvelop zcppelins and airships its to render them invisible from below, and the artificial clouds impene-

trable _to search-lights, thus enabling them to escape from the danger ._zone, after raiding. This may be merely talk, ,or it may be more. That all the resources of frightfulncss will be called upon to aid the campaign of frightfulness. there is no doubt. But Britain has scientists and chemists nlso, and they are biisy. The success of the recent raid on Karlsruhe has no doubt stimulated activity in the airship sheds and workshops of Germany, but that the raid has invited retaliation is not .worthy of serious consideration. Germany liii`_s stopped, and will stop at no horror, and no infomy, to carry out her policy of destruction. Just as soon as the Huns can, with hope of success, make air raids on a. large scale, they will do so, no matter what action

Britain or France may take or have taken. So far as the story of s. zeppelln being completed every 20 days is con- cerned, that may be taken with many reservations, The same story ~has been told monthly since August lust, and will continue to be told. Meanwhile, it ls well to realize that Germany is making every preparation in its power to increase its horrors and still further to out-Herod Herod and out~Attilc Attila. But lt is also well to remember that neither ,Britain nor France are idle, und are prepared in meet the enemy, whether on sea, in uir or on hind.

N0'l`ES

' The jltney, says an exchange, has come'to Toronto, where a Jitney Association has been formed. The mana- ser hopes 10 see a hundred cars in service by the end or the month. A proposition to establish thirteen routes. practically grldironing the city, has been made to the board of control,’_but lt declines to give certain exclusive rights asked for.` The company says it isready to spend 3200.000 to $250,000 if it can get what it asks for. What's the matter with a Jitney Association for Charlotteown?

The eyc wltiiess at Malines said, in one of his reports:

“l saw eight German soldiers, and they were drunk. As the German soldiers came along the street I saw a .small _child come out of ii house. The child was about two years of age. The child came into the middle of the street so

as to be in the way of the soldiers. The soldiers were walking in twos. The first line of two passed the child; one of the second line, the man on the left, stepped aside and drove his bayonet with both hands into the chlld'a stomach, lifting the child into the air on his bayonet and Clffylns lt away on _his bayonetfhe anti; _his ,comrades still" singing." , , ,_ ,Q _z , ,.
