a thoughtful neighbor would brush

started how eagerly and earnestly

federal inspector, is connection with
the laws designed to protect the mi
gratory birds, and has addressed Iowa
audiences. With regard to Bird day,
which is usually combined with Arbor
day (April q, this year, in Iowa., Mr..
Cleasby writes:
Bird day was discussed at meet
ing Of the National Educational asso
citation in 1884, and the following
year this association recommended
its general observance in all schools
OF the nation. The idea had its In.
ception in the state of Iowa by Sup
erintendent C. H. Morrill, Of Fl. Mad
ison. Circular No II. United States
department of agriculture. gives his.
tory Of Bird Gay and its purposes.
Quoting from Circular II:
Briefly stated, the object OF Bird
day is to diffuse knowledge concern
ing our native birds and to arouse
more general interest in bird protec
ton. As such it should appeal no,
only to ornithologists, sportsmen and
farmers. who have practical inter
est in the preservation of birds, but
also to the geenral public who woul,
soon appreciate the loss If the birds
wers exterminated.
II the main object Of our educa'
tional system is to prepare our boys
and girls for intelligent performance
of the duties and labors OF life, why
to the study OF nature. particularly IN
rural schools, where the farmers 0.
the next generation are now being
educated?
Bird lifs and its relation to man
furnish one field of nature study OIL
sufficient Importance to demand the
attention OF every public school in
this country. Is it not worth while TO
do everything possible to prevent the
destruction Of bird life before 1t is
too late?

THE Idltarod Pioneer complains be-
 cause the people of Alaska seem
 to lack interest in their govern ment affairs. but says that the build. ing of the raidrOad will bring perma- nent population that will cure the de- feet Probably the Pioneer has under estimated the interest the people of the Territory take in their local af- fairs. They have shown on occasions lively concern over them. However that was not the point in the obser- yation that induced these words. The lntimation that Alaska's population is not permanent is not well founded.
 The population that Alaska now has is here to remain. The railroad will add to it, and increase interest in Northern life. but 1t will not add to the residential stability of our habitats. Many of those who are here, mayhap, have not counted upon remaining ihere. but that is the case with the population of every section. All the big cities are filled to the brim with those who expect to have permanent home in some other place when they acquire the necessary funds and the leisure to leave the city. but they re- main to contribute to the greatness of their adopted localities until the end. It is so here. People acquire inter- ests that hold them on and on, or else, after spending interesting years here. they discover when they leave that they have ceased to have the af- lection for other localities that they once bore. and return again to stay.
