the rural districts, or at leai-t wumu their knowledge, aud enabling them to find oat for themselves tho difference between them und the roads of which they have grown to regard the defects as incurable. This must be done, under our pvstem. by the states and requires state" legislation. If there were, eay, ten miles of model roadway in every county in the tat of New York, it is quite certain that within a very fow vwirs this inileHKO would bo mnltipiied
by ten by the efforts of the inhabitants themselves, who would luive cotno to learn what an enormous saving to them in money and time, as well as what k great advantage in comfort the new roads would bring to them. The efforts of the natioual and ftate leagues onght to te devoted to bringing about stich legislation in every state. In one state tho matter has already become a political issue, for the candidates for the legislature in Illinois have Wt offi cially interrogated as to their position on the subject. It is not likely that many of theso candidates had ever given any thonght to tho matter, hut being thus required to take a ttaud concerning it, nearly all of them have returned satisfactory answers. This ought to mean thnt if a well matured bill were presented to tho legislature of Illinois providing for tho construction of model roads, it would lw enacted and pnt into execution. When that is accomplished the battle will havo been won. It is in the extern states that the need of good roads is perhaps most urgent. Tho abar.duument of New England farms, attribr.rd to western competition, would scarcely have been pos-sible if tho farms had been connected by decent roads with the market towns or the railroads, one of which ought to be within easy driving distance of every farm in New England, and would bo so if tho roads were what they should be. The more eastern agriculture changes from tho raisinir of staple crops to "truck

It is ordinarily true that a measure of
;h progress of a modern country
found hi the condition of its roads. That
tells the story of trado as well aof
neighborly communication. Yet judged
by that standard America is not very
high ainouy tho civilized countries. In her case, however, there are exceptional
conditions, includiug especially tha
rapidity with which settlement has spread, the search for now homes going on before tho occupied regions had been doveloped.
It chanced that tho introduction of
railways came, half a century ago, just about the time that tho importance of making good wagon roads had leen
fully appreciated, and public interest and attontiou were diverted to tho new meaus of transportation. Steam railways havo sinco been supplemented by horso cars, and they in turn by electrio cars; but now thero is a return of public interest to the common roads. Tho church, tho town meeting, tho social festivities of ueigbbors and families are all interested in this new movement, for, as Professor Shaler rather quaintly put it, "where tho roads are bad all the duties of the citizen and the social being are most imperfectly dono."
Perhnps tne nest way xo reconcile communities to tho great cost iuvolredat the. outset in establishing a perfect system of roads is to get into their minds the conception that every bad road exacts a tax ou tho wagoner in time, in labor or in wear or injury to tho team. This imposition may bo slight, bnt it is ahmt, dav in and day out, and if
properly reckoned it will be found to amount to far more annually as a road
way tax than the interest on tho money needed for building a proper road and keeping it in repair. Another point insisted on by Professor Shaler is the need of abandoning the old tendency of roadmasters to take tho straightest courw from ono point to another, up hill and down, rather than choose a level but circuitous route. Here also a simple calculation of the extra strain on the horses, the extra wear on the vehicle and tho increased cost of keeping hilly roads in repair will show that, except under siwciul circumstances, such roads should be avoided. Still another important matter is the character of tho roudlwd, the materials for which ought to bo selected with a view to the underlying soil and the effect of frosts and rains upon it. Then a common fault in American roads ii that of making them too wide, with the result of having a fringe of arable land going to waste in weeds, and too
