ROAD BUILDERS MEET
State Highway Oflicial Tells
Supervisors Conditions
Have Improved
NOIUHSTOWN. Pa , Feb. 24. The su
pervisors of Montgomery County weie told
by .Toseph AV. Hunter, ot .Icnklntown, a
represcntntUo ot tile State Highway De
partinent, that the dirt roads throughout
the county weie much better this year
than last. This, he learned, not from re
ports, but from riding over the roads. He
also explained tho various acts of As
sembly recently passed nltectlng the
smaller townships.
The opening address at the 10th annual
meeting of the Montgomery County As
sociation, In the courthouse today, was
made by Auron S. Swartz. Jr., a son of
Judge Swartz. He dwelt largely upon the
compensation net. While he was talking,
Thomas Evans, a supervisor of l-lnierlek
township, told him he had been Informed
that It would cost the supervisors $8 for
men employed by the township only two
hours a year. He thought rather than
pay that premium tho township should
assume tho liability, as there had been
only two persons hurt In the employ ot
the township In years. Mr Kvans was
advised lo look further Into the Insurance
rate,
George Sullivan, piesldent of the Board
of Commisioners ot Montgomery County
nnd a commissioner for years In Lower
Merlon township, declared that tho "mac
adamized roads were a thing of the past."
lie said the life ot a macadinlzed rond In
Lower Merlon was from seven to nine
' months. "We used to macadamlzo a road
I one year and remacadamize It tho next,"
, said Mr. Sullivan, "until we determined to
, tuko the bull by the horns nnd build
prepared roads."
I Mr. Sullivan told the supervisors of a
rebuke the Lower Morion township com
missioners received for not fllugup u
road In an Isolated section where a I'hlla-
dclphlnn had purchased a "flue country
place," within three-quarters ot a mile of
a good road, lip said the taxes on this
property were ?5! a year, and to do what
the owner wanted done would cost $5700.
COUNCIL.MEN AND MAYOR

Avenue Improvements
Alembors of Councils from waids in

the 19th Waul; Hdwaid Haws, of the
37th Ward, and Geoige I). Co, of the 13d

K. Mitchell.
Legislation to compel the State to care
for all children found 'to he feeble-minded,
Instead of a law to force parents to
place their children In Institutions, was
advocated today at the exhibit on feeble
mlndrdness by Dr. I.lghtncr Wltnicr. ex
pert from tho psychological clinic of tho
University of Pennsylvania. In the Wide
ner. Building, Chestnut and Juniper
streets.
"Wo find In our work," said Doctor
Wltnicr, "that there are comparatively
few patents who would light against giv
ing up their children. They nro anxious
to hnvo them as hnppy as they can pos
sibly be. Then, too, we And that often the
parents are sacrificing the normal chil
dren In their fruitless effort to care for
tho feeble-minded children.
"That Is why I do not advocate a law
compelling the parents to put the feeble
minded children In institutions. On the
contrary, I think that tho Commonwealth
ought to be compelled to provide for cases,
when tho parents ask that care be given
and doctors decla.ro that the children are
In need of Institutional care."
Doctor Wltmcr showed slides of chil
dren who have been nt the clinic at tho
University of Pennsylvania and told
briefly of their histories.
One case which especially showed the
ecpnomlc value of caring for the feeble
minded In Institutions was that of a girl
who hns been tho charge of 18 different
chailtabte organizations for years, not to
mention the care given her by numerous
private Individuals.
If that girl had been enred for la an
Institution for feeble-minded It would have
rost a maximum of $200 u year. As it
Is. she In now 17. Just the dangerous uge,
and no one knows how much has been
spent or how much will be spent on her.
Sho Is still nt large.
'Actual count of tho number attending
tho exhibit Is being kept. During two
nnd a quarter hours today 1100 people
saw tho exhibit.
The first lap ot the IJiOO.OOO signature
petition started at tho exhibit on feeble-
mlndedness has been made. It contains ,
several thousand signatures as the result
of the activities of the women nf tho I
exhibit yesterday and today. !
Women handling the petition are hav- j
Ing trouble kecidug tho crowds In line us
the men and women wait to sign the
paper, which will go throughout the State,
backed by the Public Chniltles Associa

ture with tho lpquest that money bo ap- .
proprlated so that the village for feeble-
minded women of child-bearing :ig, may
bo used. The 1913 l.eglblaturo made an
appioprintlon for tho village, which Is i
partly built. The 1015 Legislautie' did
not make nn nppiopilatlnn for the main
tenance of tile village.
Several thousand persons attended tin- ,

One ot the most potent factors for edu

"The Woman I'nawaie," which Is being

OF t'll ILI, SA VS PROFESSOR
Pan-American Delegate Tells of
South American Progress
"On democracy depends the true de
velopment of Chill," said Dr Jose Maria
Galvcz, piofcsson in the Unlveisitv ot
Chill and ilplegiito from that country to
the Pan-American Congress recently held
lu Washington. In a talk to the students
nf the University or Pennsylvania lu Lo
gan Hall tndny. "And the tendency Is to
Introduce democracy Into our present cen
tralized government." lie ndded.
"A strong middle class Is being devel
oped and on this Imiigs the fate of tho
democracy. We have not entirely got
away from the ollgaichy of a halt cen
tury ago when the Government wns con
trolled by a few Spanish families who
ran the country for their own Interests.
Then came tho war with Peru In '79,
bringing great wealth to the country tor
which tlioobllgarchy was not prepared. As
a consequence there has been a tendency
for tho ruling class to go to Paris anil
wasto their time on luxuries such ns tho
two-step and what you call tho 'bright
lights.'
"We are undertaking a change, quietly
and without tho civil wars that arc so
popular around iw.
"Our country was formed, you know,
when a band of tough Spaniards rode on
horseback nil tho way down from Pan
ama and married the Indians of Chill.
Hut wo arc proud of this Intermixture.
Our raco Is not distinctively Kuropeuii
or Indian, hut It has many features of
both. The trouble has always been In
our country that thero has been a large
proportion of Illiterates. It is from this
mass that we are developing our middle
class by means of our educational sys
tem. Our high schools nrc doing more
than nny other medium to for m amiddle
class. The old oligarchical tendencies
find their chief support In tho private
schools under priests and church support "
Doctor Gnlvez concluded by saying that
ho believed the twentieth century was the
beginning of n new era In tbo South
American countries Just as the nineteenth
had been In'js'orth America. ,
