Made Whole School Happy

Reading in The News about the
bird house contest and the prize
being offered for the owner who hrss
gets a tenant in his bird house, maKss
me think of an incident IN country
school days. I had tried in vain 10
get some Of the older pupils to make
a bird house, but one day some OF
the first reader boys found an old soap
box and brought it to me and asked
if it would do. Not wishing to dis
appoint them | said we would try
and make a house out Of it. A little
girl who lived across the road ran
home and got saw, hammer and
some nails. We worked at it during
intermission; in a few days we had a
pretty fair looking little house. NOW
the school-yard had only one lone
tree and this had no suitable place
for a bird house. So we decided to
tie it into the tree. The boys began
emptying their pockets and soon we
had pieces of clothes lines binder
Irvine, leather shoe strings and cou-
pie of precious jumping ropes.
Then two small boys Skinned the
tree, one held the house, the other
tied it firmly to the tree.
After they came down we all stood
around and viewed the results of our
labors. A large red haired boy, who
had not helped the least, broke the
silence by this jeering remark, Huh,
you'll never get a bird in that thing,
they'll be scared to death if they see
it,
A whole week passed by and nc
sign of my favorite bluebirds. The
red-haired boy greeted me each morn
ing with Good morning, teacher, got
any birds in your house yet?''
Two weeks went by and not a bird
came to the hOuse-nOt even spar
row On the following Monday morn
ing / saw one of the prettiest sights
in nature, one bluebird sitting on top
of the house and the other looking
in at the door. They had taken poss-
essiOn. My heart was full of joy that
morning, every boy and girls VIZ
happy and had a good lesson because
the blue birds had come to our house.
But my red-headed boy, he was
completely floored. He Immediately
took the keenest interest in those
birds. To satisfy the small boys who
were anxious to climb the tree, he
himself quietly examined the nest
when the birds were gone, announced
that there were four eggs in the
house, tied piece Of his own rope
around the house to make sure the
wind wouldn't blow it down and then
told the boys very impressively that
he would lick any boy who climbed
the tree or bothered those birds. Re-
sult,-nobody got licking, the blue
bird sang to his mate all day long,
the little birds Matched, the family
in the tree were happy, and the school
was happy because one boy had seen
the right light.
