STREETS—GENERAL STUDY 
a 
Procedure 
As soon as these studies have been made they should be as- 
sembled, compared and criticized. It will be practicable to have 
the pupils answer such questions as the following: 
1. What is the best type of street paving for this locality? 
2. What are the comparative merits of gravel, macadam, con- 
crete? 
3. What should be the cost of street construction of different 
types? What should be the normal cost of street maintenance? 
4, Where have you found the best parkings? best plantings? 
best curbs? best culverts? best bridges? best street signs? etc. etc. 
The teacher should be able to extend the list of such questions 
considerably so as to cover matters of special interest to his students 
and to his locauity. 
It may seem worth while, if time permits, to construct and use 
a score card upon the roads in the neighborhood. The construction 
of such a score card is a problem which may well be assigned to the 
class itself. 
An exhibit of photographs of streets, street plantings, street 
furnishings, etc., may be prepared by the class. Hundreds of post- 
cards, for example, can be gathered showing streets in all parts of 
the world. These can be studied, compared and criticized to the 
full limit of available time.
