AN ABLE ADDRESS
ON GOOD HIGHWAYS
J. WARREN ALLEN, FEDERAL EXPERT OF WASHINGTON, D. C., AT FARMERS' COURSE
Pointed Out Some Valuable Features
In Gaining Results—Attendance
Today Excellent
There was an excellent attendance at the joint session of farmers' and housekeepers' series at the university auditorium this morning. The feature of the morning session was the practical address of J. Warren Allen of Washington, D. C., of the division of public roads, who brought out some extremely valuable pointers relative to "The Country Road." As a result of his lecture there is a more general understanding of the principles of good road building among those who listened to the lecture.
President Brannon spoke on "The University and Rural Organizations." "The County Agent and Effective Organization," was the theme of an address by H. W. Hochbaum. John H. Morrison led the discussion on this question.
It is to be regretted that Farmers' week meetings could not have been held in larger quarters for the interest in the excellent program of Thursday afternoon was so general that the auditorium was unable to accommodate the great numbers who wished to listen to the lecturers.
