HELPING THE TOlVN.
EVEN the sltrewtlest business men solllctinlcs ovcrloult the
things Wllll'l‘l would eventually result to their own interest.
It seems queer that a man who has capital and bu
crgy will ignore the fact that anything he may do to incrcasc
the business valueof his own town will revert to his own good
ill the end. Inliuential nleuin a town always do one of two
things-they either hinder a town’s growth or they help it
forward. Being alive to what a town needs, and being active
ill nny movement which is going to help the gt-nerrtl l‘DlIlv
inunity is the proper spirit for the husiuess man to show
towards his own town.

l GOOD ROADS NOT APPRECIATED.
A MR. Oscoou, an ollicial of the Census Bureau, at Wash-
ington, and who journeyed in an automobile from that city to
St. Louis, has this to say of the roads he encountered:
"We spent one week at the Fuir, and started home two
weeks ago, making the trip in niteen days. The contlitiou
of the roads was varied. They were good in Maryland, but
all through Pennsylvania we struck nothing but allnlllilltllilt-“
stretches of ground not worthy of the name of roads. The
roads of West Virginia were in fair condition, and there was
an improvement in Ohio. ‘The roads in Indiana were good,
hut those of Illinois inconceivably had. I found the conditioti
of the roads a pretty fair index to the prosperity and intelr
ligeuce ct the people living along them v
It is a surprising fact that Pennsylvania has fewer miles of
good roads than several States whose total wealth is computed
to be less and whose per capita posseszsions are lunch lower.
Mr. Osgood’s criticisms, of course, are somewhat unfair as ap- ll
plied to some of the roads of this and other counties ; hilt as
applied to the whole they are unpleasautly truthful, The
last Legislature passed a good roads bill appropriating
$5,500,000 for the purpose of building good roads, with a pro-
vision that counties profiting under the law should bear a
nominal share of the expense of road building. The sur- "
prising fact is that so few miles of road will be improved,
notwithstanding the liherality of the State. One is forced to
the reluctant conclusion that the majority of the residents do
not want good roads.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
AGRICULTURAL education, says the Bloonlingtou (Ill.) fl"
Pantagraph, has taken on such cleveluplnent, and so many
developnlents, during the past tifteen years that it keeps even
its friends moving to understand it all. There is the college
of agriculture of university grade.

oped specialists in every departtnent and is now a large and

books, and equipping its students for even surer and hettcr

maily of them, are giving their days and uigltts to agricul-
turnl investigation, and getting iiue salaries for it,

reads the college bulletins, writes questions to the professors
and gets helpful answers, meets the college men at the farm.
ers' institute and visits the college; and with all this better
acquaintance the college work grows in his esteem. There
is the farm scllool of lower grade, in still closer touch with
the common farmer boys, as in Minnesota, in the county
agricultural schools of VVisconsin and in the short courses in
many agricultural colleges.
The short courses, with easier aequirements, have been of
such practical help to large numbers that if the short course
is not provided there seems a natural need for a county or
or other agricultural school intermediate in grade between the
common school and the university. And now the agricultural
people are trying to strike at the very root of the matter and
start the boys right by giving them a proper attitude towards
country life and some instruction in practical farm matters
and the habit of observing phenomena and tracing reasons in
agriculture while in the country school. As they grow up
this will do away with much of the prejudice against the farm
and the indifferent, helpless attitude of so many grown farm-
ers toward agricultural education. Something of agriculture
is bound to go into the common schools, and, when wisely
put there, will do incalculnhle good in turning the ugri.
cultural thought of all the people in the right direction.
.....:
MANY of us miss the joys that might be ours by keeping
our eyes fixed on those of other people, says Success, No
one can enjoy his own opportunities for happiness while he
is envious of another‘s. We lose a great deal of the joy of
living by not cheerfully accepting the small pleasures that
come to us every day, instead of longing and wishing for
what belongs to others. VVe do not take pleasure in our own
modest horse and carriage because we long for the auto
mobile or victorin that someone else owns.
The edge is taken off the enjoyment of our own little home
because we are watching the palatial residence of our neigllr
bor. can get no satisfaction out of a trolley ride into the
country or a sail on a river steamer because someone else can
' Life has its
full measure of happiness for every one of us if we would
only make the very most of every opportunity that comes our
- way instead of longing for the things that come our neighr
bor's way.
