LEARN 60 rrotee, one n,ra,.

Italy is the first country in the world
where a systematic effort has been
made to enlist the children in the
work OF protecting the wild birds from
harm. DIR. Vitelanio Tonta recently
pointed out to the leading Italian
teachers that lite children could easily
be taught to love birds and that this
lesson, once learned. would never be
forgotten, whereas, II the lesson were
not taught until the children were
grown up little heed would be paid to II
except by those persons who were nat
urally sympathetic and fond of dumb
creatures. In Germany. France and
England, he said, there are many per-
sons who are interested in birds and
who are doing what they can to pre-
vent them from being killed for the
sake OF their plumage. but In order to
do really sffectual work more thor
ough crusade is needed and 1t Is only
from the ranks of children that crusad-
ers of the right type can be obtained.

a good deal OF attention and many

Woman Rules the West-Sooinlly.
The majority of Western men are
out of their element says w. ID. Ly-
man in the Atlantic. in anything eX-
cept business and politics. The wife
usually acts as head Of the family in
all manner of social and religious
crises, as inviting ministerial guest
to ask n blessing at table OF conduct
family worship. while the masculine
partner slouches around at such times
in hulking and uncomfortable con-
sciousness OF his own lack of picty and
polish. That solemn sense Of his own
dignity as head of the house, that
shrinking Difference paid to him by the
weaker vessels" of his family, which
magnifies the pater familias in Eng
land, and to some degree in the old
fashioned New England community
this never lightens up the pathway of
the average Western householder. He
may consider himself in great luck if
he is not discrOwned entirely. The in
dependence and go-aheaditiveness" OF
women seem to co-eXist with gem

statistics show that Washington is
third on the lists Of States in freedom
