GRADE STUDENTS
IN BIRD HOUSE
BUILDING CONTEST
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Depart
ments in Manual Training
to Compete.
STRUCTURES TO BE ILL.,
EXHIBITED IN APRIL
Will Help Scholars to Understand
Importance of Preservation of
Certain Birds.

Professor A. D. Bailey, instructor
of the manual training department
of the local schools, has begun a con-
test for the construction of bird
houses. Every scholar of the sixth,
seventh and eighth grades, who take
manual training will compete for
prizes. 1t is expected that over 100
houses will be constructed. Prizes
to the amount of amout $50 will be
distributed among the contestants.
SO Last Year.
A similar plan of the construction
Of bird houses was adopted last year
with much success. There were
about SO houses constructed and the
houses were installed by many people.
In a majority of cases, it was report
ed that the houses were occupied by
birds.
Types Are Varied.
This years contest was launched
this week when Prof. Bailey gave
the first instructions in planning and
building the houses. The types Of
structure will be varied. Some of
the structures will be one story
while others will be two and three
stories. Not only places for nesting
will be made but food shelters from
winter weather will be erected.
Is Good Lesson.
I'm addition to the training in
building the houses, the contest will
be highly beneficial to the students
as it will teach them the useful va
riety of birds and the harmful spe-
cies," said Prof. Bailey this morn
ing. "This knowledge which they
will unconsciously absorb during the
contest will help them to understand
what Importance the preservation Of
certaiLskinds of birds and the ex-
tinction of other kinds, really is. In
this way they will learn to harbor
and exterminate the ones which con-
stantly damage crops. This view Of
the contest is in my estimation equal
ly important with the actual house
tbuilding."
Lumber Donated.
The material for the houses will
be common inch and half-inch lum-
ber cut in the local mills. Copper
and tin sheeting will be used as
roofing. Two hundred feet of lum-
Der has been supplied the manual
training department by each the
Crookston Lumber company and the
Smith-Robinson Lumber company.
Displayed at Store.
The houses will be placed on ex-
hibit in one of the store windows for
the public's inspection after the
prizes have been awarded. The dis
play will be ready in April.
Prizes Are Good.
Prize money will probably be dis
tributed as follows: Ten dollars to
each grade with three dollars for
first prize, two dollars for second
prize and one dollar for third prize
and four dollars for other prizes.
