Wisconsin, )éu higan Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, June 2 to July 3, 1924 ‘The happiness and prosperity of the people of the United States have been greatly enhanced by denl nite program of highway education, the principles of which have been firmly implanted in their minds. Spread Modern Concept. “You have every reason to feel a Aleep sense of pride in having spread with such success this modern con cept of human well being. It has, no doubt, been apparent to vou that in tendering to us your generous invi tation we have not fafled to under. stand and appreciate the great social importance of the ideas which it is the purpose of the board to per- petuate. “We who have observed the results ©of your endeavors render to you our heartfelt appreciation and our ever lasting gratitude, which we further extend to the organizations which have co-operated with you in this great work and to the individuals who have accorded us their most courteous attention.” The conference last yvear was or- ganized by the Highway Education Board with the co-operation of a sroup of automobile and road ma chinery manufacturers for the pur pose of demonstrating to the engi neers of Latin America the most mod ern methods of highway construction and the economic advantages of im proved means of communication. Dr. L. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan American Union and chalr- man of the executive committes of the Pan American Confederation for Highway Education, presided at the exercises. In introducing the Am bassador of Chile he said the dele- gates “have spared no effort in arousing public intersst in the im- provement of the highways of their respective countries and have thus rendered a service of which they may well be proud.” Kindled Enthusiasm. Ambassador Mathie said the tablet “Is intended to express the deep ap- preciation and gratitude of the dele gates from the republics of Latin America for the many courtesies and kindnesses shown them in the United | States and especfally for the Inspira- tion and stimulus which they derived from their visit to this great country. The inspection which they made not only convinced them of the marvelous progress of road building in the United States, but also kindled their enthusiasm to foster similar move- ments in their respective countries.” Commissioner Tigert, accepting the tablet for the Highway Education Board, said the Pan-American High- way Conference “marks a distinct and golden link in the chain of happy circumstances which bind our respec- tive countries.” Secretary Kellogg characterized the tablet as a_“material expression of that spirit of co-operation and mutual | helpfulness so characteristic of the | relations between the republics of the American continent,” in accepting the plague on behalf of the Pan-American | nion. H ““There is real inspiration in the | thought of the representatives of the American republics assembling with A view to placing their best thought and expression at the disposal of one another,” declared the Secretary. “It is thus that the true spirit of Pan Americanism is developed.” Sy CLASS LOSES “GODDESS.” “Evens” at Amherst Outwitted by “0dds” in By-Play.
