COMPULSORY STUDY
OF SPANISH URGED
NcAdoo Says Winning of Latin Ameri
can Friendship Depends Upon
the Schools.

NEW YORK, July 10.-If the Unit
ed States is to understand and rain
the full friendship of South and Cen
trail America, OR public schools must
do more than they have doae in teach
ing children to know and appreciate
their southern neighhors. That was
the main point of an address made he
fore the National Education associa-
tion in Madison Square Garden recent
l. by Secretary OF the Treasury Me
rAdoo.
Giving impressions from his recent
Pam American journey, Mr.. McAdou
said there was no doubt that until
"quitc recently Latin America has
bceu suspicious of the Cni,cd States,
fearing its power and distrusting its
purposes. Rivals of the United States
for Latin American trade have skill
fully fed this suspicion, (which wa
greatly augmented by the unfortunate
incident with Colombia growing out of
the Panama canal affair."
''That, he said, 'prcducel Il vcrr

the pending treaty between the Unit
ed States and Colombia will he ratified
and that Colombia will he iustlr con

fercd. For my part | earnestly hop,
for this result.

President Wilson in the last two year
had produced ga profound and favor

America

McAdoo, "when | say that the publ
schools have not contributed their full
share toward intoxicating in the ycutl

to mislead public opinion in the Unite

Mr.. McAdoo believes the teaching q
Spanish should be made compulsory i

FOREIGN FLOWER is POPULAR
Although Poppy Is Quite Favorite in
This Country, None of Family
Native to Soil.

The dooryard flower gardens are
dotted with poppies of all kinds. from
the little single red fellows to those
that look almost like the big white
headed double chrysanthemums. Al
though the poppy is quite a favorite in
this country, none of the family Is ma
tive to the soil. All OF our peoples
came from the old werld. In England,
Scotland and Italy the graceful scarlet
poppy blossoms in the wheat fields
and grows wild In waste places. Among
the ruins OF ancient Rome this bril-
liant flower blooms luxuriantly. It is
very hardy, and. though an annual,
scatters its seeds SO we'll that they
come up from year to year in gardens
where they have once been planted.

SCARLET TANAGER is SINGER
tie Bird Is Easily Tanned and
Makes Nice Pet for Boy.

When you see this bird, with his
black and scarlet coat on, among the
green trees. you will think he is only
a fame of fire instead of a living
bird and this is why he so often is
called the fire bird" French people
call him the cardinal" on account of
his very bright color, But did you
know that birds with the brightest
plumage are not the best singers in
the world? This cannot be said of the
tanager, for his song is very sweet
In addition to his good quality he is
easily tanned ana makes a nice little
