BUILDING OF SCHOOLS
WOULD SUPPLY LABOR

Build school houses" says DR.. p.
p. Claxton. United States Commits
sioner of Education.
Previous to our entrance in the
war we were spending in the United
States hundred million dollars a
year on new school houses. but at
this rate we were in no wise sup
plying the need. Hundreds of
thousands of children in the lower
grades were on half-time attendance
and millions attended in houses
wholly unsuited to school use. ac-
cording to modern badly
ventilated, poorly lighted and other
wise unsanitary.N
For the two years of our partici-
patton in the war school house build
ing almost ceased and there are now
both the need of 1916 and the ac-
cumulated need of the two years of
the war. larger than in normal times
because of the unprecedented shift
ing OF population.
ITO supply these needs will re-
Quire not less than five hunded mil
lion dollars OF building, to be com
pleted by the time of the opening of
the schools in the fall of 1920. II
is very important, therefore, that le-
gislatures. county and city council,
and boards of education all over
the United States imediately take the
necessary steps for this building and
for the raising Of money necessary
for IT,"

MIGRATORY BIRDS START NORTH

The honk of the northward- bound
geese was heard during the night
Saturday and one report shows that
big flock got tangled with their line
of fight and circled for long time
in the vicinity of Gray.
The birds often have in some man.
ner become dazed with the presence
of lights along their northern flight
circle near this city. This is
common with migratory birds.
According to the Canadian-United
States treaty regarding migratory
birds, which now is the law, super
ceding the old law on spring shoot
ing. there is to be no shooting of
migratory birds in their northern
flight. This means that shooting of
ducks and other migratory birds Is
forbidden i'm the spring when they
make their way to their breeding
grounds in the north.
The first flight south in the fall is
of the birds which nest near the Ca
madam borders. The last flight,
that of the "redlegs" come later,
these birds being the focks which
nest up in the Hudson bay district.
It has been discovered that the ear
ly flights are of birds with rather
brightly marked legs but the latter
flight is marked by those with pro-
nounced redness of limbs. The spring
northern flight is usually considered
a sign of approaching spring. The
geese and brant are the first birds
north.

MANY FROM AUDUBON
ATTENDED, CONVENTION

Any fears which might have been
entertained by any that the World
Centenary convention, held at Des
Moines, would not measure up to the
convention held at Omaha recently
were quickly dispelled when those
who attended them arrived on
the ground, got in touch with the
spirit of the convention, felt the in
spiration of the team as the conven-
tion gained momentum.
This great convention which was
held March 9Th and 18th in the First
Methodist Episcopal church in Des
Moines will mark an important pc
Rod in Iowa Methodism. 1t was
one of the largest gatherings in a
state which is known far and wide
for its great Methodist strength and
Old First church was taxed to it's
limit.
good convention. DR.. Robert o.
Mathews, pastor, eXerted every eff
fort, to make everyone feel at home
and entirely succeeded. Entertain
ment for the visiting pastors, on the
Harvard plan. under the direction of
DR.. j. l.. GILES was a feature which
won great favor among the pastors.
Everywhere leaders and delegates
were commenting upon the splendid
recognition given the convention by
the Des Moines newspapers. A
great amount of space was given in
them all showing first that the Cen
tenary is a great movement and has
great news value and second, the
favorable disposition of city newspa-
pers toward the movement. This
in turn suggests the favor of the en-
tire country toward movement
which has a program commanding
the attention of men accustomed to
thinking III large terms.
Not a little credit should be given
DR.. Slowther, superintendent of the
Des Moines district in which the con-
vention was held, worked faithfully
to make the convention the success
it proved to be.
The convention team was under
the direction of DR.. E. c. Hickman,
team leader and Associate Executive
Secretary of the National Campaign
leader. DR.. Hickman's fine Chris
tian spirit soon won for him at the
