GLA ———— Ss EDWIN =23-22. EBERMAN VR ai-h es What Good Roads in Person County Mean to Education Good roads! When you say those two words don’t they just make you have a kind of idea of slipping along over miles of smooth, hard road without a bump or mud-hole? Ten years ago Person County did not know the meaning of the term “good roads.” Throughout our county all the roads were practically of common red clay which were not so bad in dry weather, but when it rained! A Ford was about the only thing that could go over them and survive the shock. And even then, some- times the little Ford would get stuck up and everybody would have to get out and push. During the last ten years wonderful changes have been made along this line, not only near Roxboro, but all through Person County. There are five High Schools in the County, not including Roxboro, and each has a good road running by it. On account of these good roads trucks and auto- mobiles make these schools accessible as far as eight or ten miles. There are eight sand clay roads running into Roxboro, not to mention the ones that run into these a few miles out of town. The enrollment in the High School Department of our school is one hundred and five and thirty-three of these come over the good roads. In our own grade we have enrolled twenty-four and ten of these come over the good roads. Could these children have their present educational advantages if it were not for these good roads? It is to be hoped that this good work of road building will be kept up until we have good roads in every nook and corner of Person County. Louise WiL BURN PAGE THIRTY-TWO
