Governor issued a good roads

r St^te,
and good roads lend powerful
aid to everything good in mod-

an otJhtacle in the path of prog-

Recognizing this fact the peo-
ple Texas have taken bold of
this problem with tremendous
interest, and it is now one of
the foremost economic ques-
tions confronting our people,
and much good work has been
done throughout tbe State in
the last few years in the way of
improving our public highways.
Now, therefore, realizing the
necessity frtr a 8} stem of work
along this line and in conformity
with sense of duty in this matter,

The movement for an automo-
bile road from Denver to Gajves-

Not only Would such a road di-
vert many tourists to this sec-
tion who how go to California
and other states,but it would
unite a vast territory whose ex-
tremities are naturlly interde-
pendent on each other. Colora-
do and Texas are united by a
bond of trade necessity which
should be strengthened at every
possible point, and sucfi a high-
way would go far in this direc-
tion.
| The automobile has served to
break down many barriers of
'distance, and it has come to stay.
It is making closer neighbors of
people living within a radius of
500 to 1000 miles than did the
old fashioned mode of convey-
ance of those living within a
radius of 30 to 100 miles. Like

This can be done in no better
way than creating meana ‘of
neighborly intercourse with ad-
jacent communities. The world
would go begging if it were not
for the exchange of products,
•both necessary and superfluous,
among the various communities,
states and nations. America
would become bankrupt were it
not for the farflung range of
American trade which primarily
has been built up on friendly
and congenial relations with
other countries.
If Texas is to grow, develop
and expand as she ought, she
must encourage every possible
method of communication, iuter
course and friendship with
neighborins States. For this
reason; if for no other, the auto-
mobile road between Denver and
Galveston should be espoused
by every enterprising citizen in
the State.
The highway has already
been completed and is now in
working order from Dallas to
Denver. Had McLeunan county
adopted the bond issue voted
upon at a recent election, ft
would have been continued to
Waco and thence to some point
on the gulf coast, possibly Cor-
pus Christi, by way of San An-
tonio. McLennan county did
not adopt the bond issue, Hill
county will not entertain any
proposition for good roads, and
consequently the Waco route
had to be abandoned.
As to Harris county, her roads
are already up to the standard,
and to complete the' automobile
highway from Denver to Galves-
ton itonly remains to fill in and
complete the gap between Nor-
mangee and Dallas. It is to be
hoped that the five counties in
which this gap exists will see
fit to co-operate and put the fli
ishing touch to this
beneficial 1000-mile

We read in The Record that
Centreville is to have a new brick
scboql building soon. - The con-
tract has already been let, to
Lewis Davidson, of Sanger, Tex
as, the lowest bidder, for $7,545
It is to be completed in 90 Jays.
In regard to the building, The
Record says:
Tbe building will cover a
ground area of 06x77 feet, Tbe
foundation is to be concrete;
walls 18inches thick; two stories
high. The roof is to be 3 ply
asbestos composition guaranteed
for 10 years and laid on a solid
ship-lap sheeting. There will
be live class rooms, with coat
room to each, principal’s office
and an auditorium. Three of
the class rooms will be on tbe
first floor and two on the upper
floor. Four of these will be
23x30 feet, inside measurements,
and the other one 23x32. /The
auditorium will have a seating
capacity uf'^lH", and will oqjy be
separated from the two upper
story class rooms by accordion
doors, which will when occasion
arises give the auditorium a
seating capacity of some 300 by
the mere folding up of these
doors. To comply with the law,
there will bo, in addition to two
inside stairways, a steel stair-
way on the outside as fire es-
cape. The vestibules of the
building will be floored with
concrete and the floors of the
rooms and the corridors will be
of eck^d-long leaf pine. So well
lighted is this building to be that

tion as shown on tl/b blue print
one's first impression is that
this is to be a glass house.-^-

The school is the most import-
ant institution in any com
and next to the home has the
greatest influence in tnouldjng
tbe mind and character of our
future citizens. There should
be a hearty co-operation between
the parents and the teachers fib
make school work most effective
and it is a great mistake to ex-
pect the teachers alone to make
a good school. Tbe parent who
fails to keep in touch with the
work of their children in school
and assist the teachers in prop-
erly molding their minds and
character are derelict in their du-
ty; visit the school often, study
your child and consult with his
or her teacher as to the best
method of inspiring the child to
do better wo^k.
The responsibility that rests
upon the teachers is second only
to that resting upon th>* parents
in the shaping of the mipds and
character of the children, and
as the work of the parents "and
teachers is similar in character
there should be the heartiest co
operation between them in every
respect to secure tbe best re-
sults, Let every teacher and
parent fully realize their re
sponsibility to the children in
school work together Then we
will have a good sehi o' and the
children will be developed into
good and useful men and women
of whom the community will be
proud in the future.—Wills
