Quick communication ranks as the great factor in the universal dissemination of knowledge. Where good roads abound sectionalism cannot exist The desire for good roads leading to a city that (hose with automobiles could have a greater pleasurable tour lng radius first brought the matter prominently to he fore as a good roads movement with automobile back fj iii r r "s c Hi .c ar m 8 n t J a c t t 1 1 , l 1 t VJ t i VL y it' V: V &3rLVSi Gradually the farmer; antagonistic At first, began to take an interest With good roads And an automobile he could cut down the three hour trip . to town to perhaps thirty minutes.

Good roads and an automobile took the, family to town in the ACADEMIC PROCESSION AT YALE UNIVERSITY evening, something unheard of before, or to visit a friend or relative in distant part of the county. When farmers learned that other farmers were doing these things, that good roads and automobiles made them poa sible, then they, too, desired good roads for their own county.

Indiana was sec Jnd and New York third. Illinois was aevsnth with 9,000 miles. While New York can claim the greatest progress in road building from 1909 to 1913, having built nearly 10,000 mtles in that time, I feel that the work California Is now doing probably puts that state in the lead.
