OPEN DISCUSSION
On The Question Of Higher
Education for Our School
Children

EDITOR GUARDIAN: the issue
of the GUARDIAN of August 18th, one
Henry M. Woods works himself ur
into IL condition, of frenzy to use ex
treme language, because some OF
the people of Stafford don't see the
high school and college question ir
the light that he does.
Three thousand years ago the
people of the Mediterranean nations
were divided on this question, rs tc
the proper way to educate Their
children.
When doctors disagree, then who
is to Judge? At one time distin.
guished Roman educator visited =
contemporary of Greece to ask just
one question, to-wit: What is your
curriculum? What do you teach in
your schools?"
Sir!" replied the Greek, Il as
certain the business my pupil is ex,
pected to follow, then endeavor to
train the body and the mind to effic-
iency to be able to handle that bust.
ness
wish the educators of our people
of this day had the same ideas OF
education as this ancient Greek.
There are two or three bills now
before our Congress pertaining to
our system of education. Carl Hay
den thinks that such a bill will pass
just as soon as it can be reached.
Just now the tariff, the Mexican and
the Japan questions hold the first
attention of our lawmakers in Wash
ington.
Now, Mr.. Editor: 1t is not the
aim of this communication to get
into a controversy. However,
would like to participate in an open
discussion on this subject in our
town park or town hall. When our
childrengraduate from our grammar
schools they need further and a
higher education. But, there comes
the rub. Mr.. Woods came very
near striking the keynote; but not
quite. He says: Certainly, you
wish to train your children how to
live" Why not amend and say:
Train our children how to earn an
honest living"
Our grandfathers said: Train
up your child in the way it should
go, and when grown, they will not
depart from it?" Does our high
schools and colleges train up our
children TO earn an honest living?
1t matters but little what | think
on this subject. or what Mr.. Woods
thinks. We have statistics on the
subject. Our census reports, gath
cred every ten years, at great pains
and expense, are supposed to be the
guide for our people to know just
what they are doing in any and
every avenue of business, and parti-
cularly are our children in every
reported upon.
Come, Mr.. Woods (or any others)
let us have the statistics upon this
all important subject. Either
through the press or open discus
sion, or both. As | see it: Our pre-.
sent system of higher education does
not meet the requirements of this
progressive day and age.

FOOD OF SOME wELL-KNowN BIRDS
All the Evidence Obtained in Thorough Examinations Show That
These Birds Are a Great Help to Agriculture and Should
Be Carefully Protected.
BY +. +. l.. BEN.
BY +. +. l.. BEN.

The western ycllow-bellied fly
catcher occupies the western part
of the United States from the Pa
cifc Coast eastward as far as the
eastern foothills Of the Rockies
and as far north as Alaska. 1t is
found in IFS summer range about
eight months of the year and dur
ing the winter in Mexico.
For the study of this birds food.
$50 stomachs we're examined. The
food was found to consist Of OO.3I
per cent animal food to o.6O per
rent of vegetable.
From this it is evident that the
good qualities OF the western yell
low-bellied hy-catcher far out
weigh the bad--if indeed it can be
said to have any bad ones. 1t eats
prcdaccous beetles. but the perxen-
tage is so small that no great harm
can be done. The other insects are
mostly those that we are glad to
lose. The bird is too small to in
jure fruit or grain, and it is of a
confiding and domestic nature, in
clined to live about the abodes Of
man, where it a do the most
good.
The Snow-bird is known as a
breeding bird in the United States
only near the northern border and
elsewhere IN the mountains. In
fall il migrates southwark and
spreads over the whole country,
where it remains during the win
ter, so that in most places it is
known as a winter species. In the
investigation of its food more thai,

item. S.noW-birds do no
damage to fruit or grain. They
eat large quantities of weed seed,
thereby rendering service to agri-
culture. They should be rigidly
protected.
The Southern butcher bird, in
some Of its numerous forms. is
found over much of the United
States and is especially common on
the Pacific coast. All the forms
retire southwark at the approach
OF winter and in many localities
arc replaced during the cold sea-
son by the Northern butcher bird,
which comes down from the North
and winters in the United States.
The butcher bird resembles a
bird OF prey in form of beak and to
a certain extent in food habits, but
it has no talons such as enable the
true birds Of prey to seize their
victim and hold it while tearing it
to pieces.

GOOD CARE OF THE FAR:
ROWING SOW.
RY w. r. GILBERT.

sows are kept, but where there Is
TO be a removal from the ordinary
quarters to a special place IT should
be done in good time, SC that the
SOW may become thoroughly acc,is-
toned to her new surroundings.
There is considerable difference
Of opinion as to why sows kill and
eat their young, and no doubt the
use are as diverse as the theories
advanced to account for it. One
of them. however. and not the least
common, is insufficient space.
A SOW. when she lies down III
close quarters, is apt to catch an
unfortunate youngster between her
carcass and the wall against which
she generally places her back when
sucking her pigs.
The farrowing-pen should. Of
course. be regulated TO some cx-
tent by the size of the breed kept,
but generally the spsce allowed is
too limited, and we frequently see
big heavy SOW with hardly room
to turn around in the dininutive
apartments that. previous to far
rowing, served them as sleeping
quarters.
Small breeds should be allowed
a space Of not less than eight feet
by eight feet, increasing in the
case Of the larger breeds up to Il
feet by 8 feet, or II feet by 10 feet;
and to prevent the young pigs
from being crushed against the
wall, it is a good plan to fix a
strong rail around each side Of the
farrowing-place, at a height Of
from seven to nire inches from the
floor, and a similar distance from
the wall.
This will prevent the SOW houn.
dering down with her back against
the side Of the pen and provides a
refuge for the youngsters who can
get under the projection.
It is a great mistake to provide
the farrowing-sow with a large
quantity of bedding. Under ordi-
nary circumstances there is no bet

Washington, Nov. 5.-The Mexi-

quarters added little of a definite
or tangible nature concerning the
exact status Of affairs. The re-
ports from Mexico City that new

Huerta brought no response from
the state department or other Off
cial sources, beyond a brief state
ment from Secretary Bryan that no
"ultimatum" had been presented.
Whether some other communication,
less drastic than an ultimatum, had
been presented, Mr.. Bryan positive
ly declined to state, maintaining
that the government should be free
to shape its course of action on
such affairs without defining each
step through the press.
In well informed quarters it was
admitted that negotiations have been
proceeding in pursuance of Presi-
dent Wilson's determination to eff
feet the elimination of Huerta as a
factor in Mexico. That this involv-
ed delivery to Mexican authorities
of another communication was also
admitted, though it was said this
did not partake Of
the nature Of an ultimatum.
