OFFICE OF RESEARCH DEPARTMENT

A constant repetition of enquiry from young women
in regard to college courses and whether or not they should
be vocational in character, has persuaded me that I must
seek the concrete help of a few women who have won their
spurs in order to vitalize counsel with evaluation of their
training by successful women whose accomplishments give cre»
dence and dignity to their utterances.

I am therefore begging you to answer the enclosed
questionnaire assuring you that I, conscious of the task I
am imposing on the already burdened, have made it as brief
as I possibly could. I hope you can find it in your heart
and time to answer as fully as if the college girl were pre-
senting herself to you as she does in such numbers to us.

Very truly yours,

My Dear State Superintendent:—

I attended the New York State Conventinn

briehter, more in soiring talks.

You know our Lile is, that the Superintendents shall take three
minutes For reports and seven minutes for instruction and discussion fif
their departments, and I am writing each superintendent to urge von to
be present in person at i‘v‘inehester, Set. 2 .1 55th., and that when vnnr
turn comes on the program, that vou will take for vour topic, "How 31
Department can i help to brin-g State—wide Prohibition", and either fill
the sevel minggif V0 rsel r arrange with your best local superinten—
dent9for §*“§e 1:11 e 7- — but please remember the time limit for
the Den rtment cannot exceed ten minutes.

Let us have a reply to this, and please leave vour reports efter
they are read, on the secretary's d.esk. "hese reeorts wust be limited
to twe hundred words, and one hundred will he better.

We want definite Statenlents in numbers, so t1 at in t~e final summary
thev will add in.

Ee think it is the best year's work we have ever had, and we
want a great Convention, after so nearly nassing the prohibition law
in the last legislature. Be present and lend a hand.

We trust von have sent vour report blanks to every local super~

intendent. Do not fail to do this.

Faithfully and lovingly yours,

August 51, 1914.

Miss Laura Clay,
Lexington, Ky.

My dear Miss Clay:—

A Woman's Department has been established in the Amer—
ican Highway Association. Tts purpOse is to interest and units
women in the work for good roads.

This is a work of very practical philanthropy for more
than the material prosperity of the country is concerned. The morm
a1 and soc1al life of our people is vitally affected by the state
of our roads, and to work for their betterment is to perform a high

public service of heneiit, in the end, to all our peeple. For good

roads mean higher farm values, more land cultivated, more diversi-

fied and profitaole crops and a decrease in the cost or hauling
them to markets. Government experts have estimated that the ex~
cessive cost of hauling due to the bad condition of emerican roads
amounts to an annual loss of more than two hundred and fifty milm
lion dollars. Good roads mean an increase in our rural population
and a consequent decrease in the crowding of our cities. and thus
a lowering of the cost of living. In the rural communities they
mean the acceSsibility of beautiful Scenery, pleasure in driving
and automobiling, the extension of the limits Within which local

papers can be circulated on the day of publication, the use of the

 

 . T {Ln .: =f .. /

parcels pOst, the facilitation of free delivery of mail, social
intercourse and the weav1ng of that net, first of neighborhood,

then of state, and finally of national opinion without which no

popular government can endure. Good roads mean more prompt and

less expensive medical attention, far larger church and school
attendance and, above all, new life for the farmers' wives and
daughters. When Ex-President Roosevelt's Country Life Commission
asked the country people what was most needed to improve their
living conditions, more than ninety per cent of the answers gave
good roads.

The Woman's Department is in close touch with the Unit~
ed States OffiCe OI Public Roads and with the various state road
associations and can give from these sources much assistance to-
ward a thorough understanding of local problems. When these are
studied it will he found that the requisites for their solution
are Wise and equitable road laws, an efficient centralized road
administrauiOn, trained and competent men for road construction
and repair, sufficient revenues, an honest and economical expendin
ture of road funds and an adequate provision for road maintenance.

vThe roads the Woman's Department of the emerican Highway
Association seeks first to improve are those leading to the mar-
kets, the homes and the schoolsa~1n other words, those that af—
fect the daily life of our people. Our plans do not include any
national political activity. But for the purpose or advice and
encouragement and the comparison of methods and results in tue
different states, a National Advisory Committee is using formed.

William Cumming Story, Miss Mabel Boardman, Mrs. Daisy McLaurin~

Stevens, Miss Mary Johnston, Miss Elizabeth Gentry, and others
are members.

There will be a Road Congress under the auspices or the
American Highway Association, in Atlanta, Georgia, November 9th to
14th. A Woman's Conference is planned for the 10th of November to
discuss the whole subject of roads and woman's work for their bet“
terment. I hope very much that you will attend the Conference and
take part in the discuss1on.

If you are interested in roads will you not write to me?
This department is here to help with advice and information obtain~
ed from experts on roads. It is yours for the asking and without
expense to you. Colonel Goethals said of the immense task of
building the Panama Canal, that it resolved itself into a large num—
ber of relatively small tasks, no one of which was too difficult
for accomplishment. This is true of the work for better roads.

Very sincerely yours,
