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

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.

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.

' 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
