Colorado Springs, Colo, July 10
Perhaps no greater tribute was ever
given citizen of Colorado than that
recently paid Dr.. w. w. Arnold. ply
sician, bird lover and child lover of
this city, when children enrolled in
the city schools presented him with
a purse of S66 made up of pennies,
each child contributing one cent.
The pennies were freely given; not
one child objected; not one failed to
contribute.
The recognition came from DR.. Ar
nold's great love for children and
birds. For years he has carried on
an unique work. For years he has
worked to protect birds from the raw
ages of weather, accident and wanton
killing. The knowledge he has ac-
quired he has passed on to the chill
dren, realizing that by instilling owe
for birds in them he would do more
for his feathered friends than any
other single effort of his.
Now through Dr. Arnold the chill
dren protect the birds in summer, feed
them in winter and when one is
found crippled or disabled by child
DR.. Arnold is Immediately notified
and the bird is given the most care
full medical attention in his bird hos
pital He has made bird life real
interest in the lives of Colorado chill
dren.
With all this Dr.. Arnold has won
the love and respect of every child in
the city. He says this is his great
est reward.

IN was urged here today by Mrs. Abb
bic Norton Jameson, president of the
California State Music Teachers AS
sociation, in an address before the
opening session of that organizations
four-day annual convention.
only the most loyal and inspiring
American music should be taught the
boys and girls of the states educa-
tional institutions" Mr.. Jamison said.
"If there are any text books in use
that contain German songs, those
compositions should be removed"
Loyalty was the outstanding fea-
ture Of the meeting. The music at
concert under the auspices Of the
organization was strictly and patri-
otically American in both its imme-
diate and its ultimate purpose, as the
proceeds were to be devoted to the
purchase Of bonds Of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan, to be floated next fall
Other concerts for the same purpose
are scheduled for later convention
days.
Praise for young musicians who
have joined the colors was generous
~ given and the declaration was
made that he musical standard OF the
United States army was at least the
equal Of that of any other fighting
force The increase in the numerl-
cal strength Of military bands was to
be discussed.
Mrs. Jamison said The federal gov
ernment approved the holding Of the
convention, press sanction having been
obtained from William &. McAdoo,
secretary Of the treasury, because
some member questioned the propri-
