TEACHING THE CHILDREN
TO HELP THEIR CITY.
Movement to Induce Public Schools to
lmpart knowledge Of civics.

The scattered movement to bring the
public schools into more intimate con-
tact with the communities which sup
port them and which they are expected
to serve is Interestingly reflected in a
bulletin sent out by the New York city
bureau Of municipal research. which
puts to taxpayers. teachers and mem
bers Of the school boards throughout
the country two suggestive questions
"What do your pupils know about
their city? Are school children helping
their city,"
1t Is the suggestion Of this bulletin
that the public schools should teach
practical civics and. that without co.
operation from the schools themselves
volunteer leagues find 1t difficult to &C.
complish much in field civics.
"Few facts are now available about
practical instruction in civics and In
what government actually does every
day, how 1t works and with what re.
SUITS" the bureau reports.

BANKER PONIES.
Half Wild Horses That Trap Fish and
Then Eat Thorn.

Half Wild Horses That Trap Fish and
Then Eat Thorn.
Along Albemarle sound. on the North
Carolina coast. there is mile after mile
Of low. sandy shore, where nothing
grows except a coarse grass, q few
salt water weeds and wild parsley.
On these banks lives u strange breed
of half wild horses. known as banker
ponies" These creatures are general
~ about twice the size Of Shetland
ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive the
bankers" into pens. brand the fouls
with the proper mark and catch some
of the older animals to sell to the
dealers. North CaroIinians say that
the beasts must be starved into eating
grain. hay or grass. for they have al
ways lived on the rank salt marsh
grass Of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish for themselves ut
low tide. With their hoofs they dig
deep holes in the sand below high
water mark. When the tide falls they
greedily devour the fish that are
stranded in these holes. Often they
fight briskly over an especially tempt
ing morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent. but seldom are even in
temper. Once tanned. they make excel
lent draft animals, for they have q
strength that is disproportionate to
their size. Foals that are bred from
bankers in captivity make valuable
animals strong. healthy. intelligent
and far less vicious than their parents.
