In all the talk and writing about
birds, there is far too little said and
written against the hideous custom
of using them in millinery work.
How any civilized woman, ''let
alone" refined lady, can have the
heart to wear parts of our beauti-
ful song-birds JUST to crafty pride,
is more than l can see. If they
would stop TO think before buying
a hat or bonnet trimmed with torn
off wings, birds heads with glass
eyes, and beautiful plumage pluck
ed while the bird is still alive, cry,
ing and futtering in its agony, ]
think many, if not all, would recoil
with horror from helping to carry
on trade so nearly bordering on
heathenism. So much for the hu
man side-the farmers and fruit
growers can tell the business side
of the story by displaying the
fruit and vegetables.

Why Do Boys and Girls Leave

the FarmF
1t Is one of the most momentou:
facts Of our times that large and
ever increasing numbers Of boy:
and girls leave their homes on the
farm as they approach manhood
and womanhood, and seek employ.
ment IN towns and cities. The fact
that the condition has been often
discussed Is no reason why II
should not be further discussed.
LACK OF ADEQUATE SCHOOLS IN
THE COUNTRY
One of the principal reasons for
the continuous exodus from the
farms is the lack of adequate school
facilities In the country. When
the children of a family have
grown old enough to demand
schooling beyond the most ele-
mentary. the father aud mother, If
they really are determined to edu-
cate their children, are almost
forced to move from the country
to the town in order to keep the
children In school In the South
eastern group of states there are
to-day literally thousands of fami.
lies that have moved to town for
no other reason than to educate
their children. Many of these fam
lilies have moved greatly against
their desire. and at no small incon-
venience and financial sacrifice.
Almost never do the children of
these families, directly educated
away from the farms, return to
their old homes'and TO their faith
er's occupation.
TEACHING IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS
NOT ADAPTED NEED or
COUNTRY CHILDREN
But not only are the schools in
the country districts inadequate to.
the needs of thoughtful and ambi-
tious people; those schools that are
maintained are so taught as to lead
the child to look away from the
farm and not towards Il. The
teachers are for the most part
young men and women from ad-
joining towns and villages educat-s
ed in town schools, and both ig-
noraut of and uninterested in the
needs and possibilities Of rural life.
Their chief desire Is to earn their
little salaries and get back to town.
The textbooks used deal largely
with urban and only slightly with
rural matters. The arithmetics are
concerned with the problems OF
distributing produce rather than
with those of making 1t; !. e., with
problems of commerce rather than
with problems of production. The
Biographies look to the markets of
the world rather than to its grow
ing fields. And SO one might 60

same time agriculture and horti-
and domestic science and
art, with all their possibilities Of
enriching rural life, are practically
