USED LOVE OF BIRDS
TO RECLAIM BAD BOY

The worst boy in one of the public
schools of Wichita, Kan, was re-
claimed simply by putting him to
studying birds and their habits. Miss
Gertrude E. Martin, his teacher, ac-
complished the reformation.
Here was a boy truant, who "swore
like a pirate" fought like a wildcat,
teased the girls, killed birds and
robbed their nests. He was the ter
ror of the neighborhood. Mothers
wouldn't let their good boys play
with him. He was on the way to the
reform school, and from that it is
only one step to the penitentiary.
A good many school teachers would
have helped the ruin of this boy by
expellng him from school, but Miss
Martin, bird lover herself, has dis
covered that any boy or girl can cas-
lily be interested in birds.
There seems to be some sort OF an
affinity between children and birds,
when the children are taught to
watch birds and listen to them and
study their nests and habits. And
Miss Martin took the bird route to
this boys heart. She taught him the
names of the different birds, the diff
ference in their plumage and ways
of building nests, and all about them,
and one day he came into the school
room with dead sparrow in his
hand,
II found it on the ground, and
I'm afraid the boys will step on it,
he said.
It turned out that he was not a
bad boy at all. Most bad boys are
not. lie was simply overflowing with
energy and was longing for some
thing to expend his deep sympathy
on. The teacher, who understood,
switched his energy and sympathy
from wrong ways of expression and
centered 1t upon birds, and this led
to tramps in the timber along the

Arkansas river bottoms, and to an
intimate study Of trees and wild flow.
ers and a deep love Of all outdoors,
and thus the boy came to his real
self.
But this was not all. The bird
study spread through the whole
school, and to other schools in Wich-
ita, and bird clubs were formed, and
it was found that children became so
much interested in bird study that
they were more alive to all the other
school activities. And now it is
planned to extend bird study to every
school in the state.

COLORED SOLDIER
BURIED IN FRANCE

A day or two ago we had our first
funeral. It was not one of our boys,
but a colored boy from Alabama,
who had been brought into our hos
pital. For some days it was known
that he could not live, and had Wis
tied him several times. No coffins
had come, so the boys made a pine
box. We gave him soldiers fun
eral. We .drapped him in the United
States flag, half filled the grave with
holly, then taps we're sounded. How
shrill it sounded over the chilly
French fields and how white the
boys faces looked in the fading light.
So that is the end of the colored boy
from Alabama. Aye, not the end,
but the beginning. He must have
had a spark Of idealism or he would
not have been here. Somehow, it got
hold of the boys and me.-From
soldiers letter, published in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
