OF the report:
The necessity for additional
normal school facilities in Ore
gOn is apparent. The attend
ance at the Monmouth Normal
school for the summer of 1916
was over 800 students. This
exceeded the accommodations
for class work. It has been
emphasized in this report that
any normal school is limited by
its practice work facilities. The
number of teachers who should
have training in Oregon cannot
be accommodated in a school
which has but 160 children
available for practice work.
Such a statement by the
board of regents controlling
the Monmouth normal makes it
very conclusive that the normal
school question is not settled.
How long will our pessimist-
ic-economy element keep the
state from meeting its plain
duty regarding this subject?

lOs MILLION

n T is estimated by the census
bureau that the population
of the United States is
now slightly under 10S,000,-
900. By 1920, when another
federal census will be taken, it
is estimated the country will
have a population of 108, ,O0O,-
900.
Had it not been for the war
the country's growth in popu-
lation would be greater. But
the gain being made is some
thing vast when the early his
tory of the nation is considered.
If the population increases as
is expected during the next
three years the growth itself
will represent more people
than the country had in 1776.
What of 1876?

on the border, as we'll as 9th

tom of providing penny lunches
for the children. Before the
young pupils were supplied
with their low cost luncheons
some of them became more or
less recalcitrant and dull as
the morning wore on. Miss
Black, the principal, says:
Formerly by II O'Clock we
found that many of our chill
dren began to fade in their
work. Discipline was not
good. They were irritable.
Now the work after the lunch

and there is less trouble about
discipline. We hope to give
them, and through them the
parents, an understanding of
correct feeding"

cried.

A Rare Bird.

The lowest form of bird life which exists is believed to be the kiwi. or Apteryx nantelli of New Zealand. II is so scarce. however. that scientists consider themselves lucky to get spec linen in any condition. 1t is without wings or tail; it's legs are short, but very strong. and are used for digging The chief food of the bird is earth worms. The body covering is a cross between hair and feathers. The kiwis develop great speed and make a des- perate fight when attacked. A pecul- far characteristic is that during the day they conceal themselves under rocks or roots of trees and when at rest resemble to some extent a hedge hog when it is curled up. Efforts to breed them in captivity have utterly failed, and only a few museums can boast of specimens.
