DOCTOR MERA TELLS
CHILDREN ABOUT BIRDS

The treat promised at the library
yesterday morning was certainly Civ
en- in full measure to an audience OF
eighty-five.
Doctor Mera told the story OF
birds in a manner entertaining alike
to adults and to children. Begin
ming with the Kansas of millions of
years ago when a vast lake with
small outcroppings of land and many
jumping lizards. he traced the grad
ual ascent of the bird to the many
species of today. In an easy con-
versational way enlivened by humor,
he introduced robin redbreast and
his cousin bluebird, the thieving
family of crow and blue jay, and
other prominent native and visiting |
families.
He told of the sky highways, al
ways the same ones, traversed year
after year by migrator birds, and
Of the habits of some of these. He
old of the peculiar habits of birds,
wisdom of some, stupidity of others;
If the different methods of rearing
antilles, of the shiftless cowbird so
'usy with clubs and social duties
he fails to provide a home and
teals room for her baby in the nest t
II another Of fha law turtlo dova :
With her carelessly built nest, and d
o such painstaking homemakers as Il
he orioles. v
He described eggs of different r
irds, giving reasons for the various a
hapes and colors; he called atten- Ii
on to ways of testing the habits a
nd instincts of birds; he gave in n
stories of individual birds,
nd advised the careful protection
these benefactors of man, citing
lie statement of an eminent scien-
st that If all birds were killed all -
1imal and vegetable life of the
orld would soon be extinct.
DR.. Mera realized that young
inds cannot be long kept to one line
thought and gave frequent new "
arting points of interest. If the

AS the big college gets bigger
the catalogue gets bigger. This of.
flee has just received a copy of the
Kansas agricultural college catalog,
really big book of 367 pages. 1t
announces a division of work into a
secondary school, or school of agri-
culture and college of agriculture
and engineering. The school of agri-
culture includes three-year courses
in agriculture, mechanic arts and
ONE economics, Students are adj
mitted into these courses on certi-
ficate of the common school or
grammar school work.
The standard for the college prop
er has been raised and now students
are not admitted regularly into the
College courses until they have COM
oleted the equivalent of a good
strong high school course. Alto
sether the college offers only voca-
ional courses-agriculture, mechan-
C arts or engineering, home econo-
MICS and veterinary medicine, and
'ffers opportunities both for the
'oung people just from the common
chool and for the graduates of high
chools and normal schools.
