And you must begin when they are Read good books and to them and when get old enough to read for themselves see what they are reading. Aside from fact that what a child reads has a effect on his character as an adult, there will come times in the lives of your children when a love and of good books will bright- en hours of loneliness or enforced idleness that would otherwise be dark and gloomy Indeed.

It has been hoped con- would see lit to appropriate u liberal sum for the construct- ion and maintenance of interstate In Hen of such a measure however, or perhaps as a forerunner the amendment is dis- worth while. It will at least stimulate backward communities to Improve their road- way, for the specific provision is that only good roads that measure up to a certain standard shall draw any rental from the government, their us., as rural mall routes. It is mated that in Georgia there are some eighty-three thousand, two hundred and thirty miles of these routes. The majority of them, however, in their present condition, would fall to share n the benefits proposed in the amendment. But when the people of a community realize that by improving the roads they can secure from fifteen to twenty dollars per year, per mile from the government soon bestir themselves. In this wise, the amendment.
