Who thinks of the missionaries
children? Until recently, it has been
impossible to secure cooperative
schools for them in centers like
Shanghai and Toxic. The loneliness of
these boys and girls, and the necessity
for sending them away from home, is
the heaviest cross the missionary is
called upon to bear. Now to remember
the children of missionaries, with holt
day gifts, with occasional letters or
post cards or papers, is to do a real
service to the cause of missions.

Discovering the Value Of Birds.

In their eagerness to combat the
phylloxera and other microscopic enc
miles, the wine growers of Germany
have forgotten that there are also
larger insect pests which infiict great
damage Anxious to turn every avail
able square foot of land into vine
yards. and with the notion that even
the smallest bush deprived the vines
of some sunshine. they have for years
rooted out every hedge. shrub and
tree that was near a vineyard thus
destroying the nesting places of their
best allies. the insectivorous birds
The folly of this procedure was per
ceived some years ago by Baron Won
Berlepsch. who successfully attacked
the insect plague on mis- large DO
mains by giving the birds abundant
opportunity to nest. Others are now
following his example At the invita-
ton of the authorities he recently
made an inspection of the wine-grow-
ing district of Germany. giving advice
as to the best methods of attracting
the variety of birds needed In some
parts of Germany thousands of bushes
are being planted along railway en-
bankments to give birds safe nesting
places
