Excerpt from Rural Highways of Wisconsin Since the magnitude of the subject of roads must necessarily limit a discussion which attempts to cover a wide range and compel it to be incomplete and elementary in its character, it is felt that no apologies are necessary for such defects in this volume. The logical following up of this subject by any state department demands special recognition of the work and spe cial funds appropriated for the purpose. The present volume is to be regarded as simply an initial expression of the impor tance of the subject and of the considerable interest in country roads which has recently been awakened. The Geological and Natural History Survey is, perhaps the best situated at present of any department of the state government to take up this matter, as it is directly concerned with all road materials and has already published a bulletin (bulletin X. E. R. Buckley, 1908) entitled Highway Con struction in Wisconsin, which deals chiefly with pavements. The people of the State need for the bettering of the rural highways information regarding methods of road construction and education in their use, which can best be provided through the organization furnished by the Survey. In the preparation of this report the assistance and valuable suggestions of the Director of the Survey, Dr. E. A. Birge, and of President Van Hise, have been of the greatest assistance.
