RARE SPECIMEN OF
BIRDS TEETH Is
PRESERVED AT THE
KANSAS u. MUSEUM

Lawrence. Kan, May 19.-One of the
two specimens in the world of birds
teeth was found in the chalk beds Of
western Kansas and has been preserved
at the University of Kansas museum,
according to Prof. IL. T. Martin, cura-
tor at the museum, who found the spec
linen. The other specimen is at the Yale
University museum. The Kansas fossil
is of the Cretadeous period. about 25
million years ago. Ten teeth are in
cluded with the fossil.
This is the second oldest known type
of bird life, according to Professor Mar
tin. II is the most complete specimen
that has been preserved. The bird was
OF the Hesperornis family. 1t was five
feet long, had n short vertebrae tail
and possessed no wings. 1t was a ma
rne bird and resembled the modern
penguin.
THE earliest specimen of bird thar
has been discovered had teeth" says
Professor Martin. This earliest type
lived in the Jurassic period, some 20
million years ago, and specimens have
been found in the lthographic limestone
beds Of Germany. This type of bird was
about the size Of crow and had sharp,
pointed teeth and a vertebrae tail long
er than the body, like the Dinosaur."
The specimen preserved at the Uni
versity of Kansas is more valuable than
any other. according to Professor Mar
tin, because it gives a clear idea Of the
semi-plumaceous feathery covering
which the bird possessed. No other
known specimen gives this evidence.

ARDMORE CITY SCHOOLS HAVE DEP PARTMENT
OF RESEARCH AND VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

A Department of Research and Vocd-
tional Guidance in Ardmore city schools
represents two phases of education
which distinguish it from the system
content to accept education as it is.
Just as research in the Industrial and
commercial world spells progress, so 1t
does in the educational world
Research by Edison has given us the
high powered electric light, the Edison
phonograph, and hundreds of modern
electrical necessities.
Big corporations are investing mil.
lions in scientific research with material
things, matter and energy.
The educational world feels the need
for definite scientific information abou.
the materials and the forces used in
educating children. If research is valu-
able and needed in industry, it is more
valuable and needed more in education
Today every plan, every practice, every
method is being weighed in the balance
of scientific investigation. The "opin-
ion" method is slowly being replaced by
one of facts.
Definite standards are being set up
in every subject for each year of the
school year. Children are measured tc
see if the individual measures up to the
required standard for grade and age;
school rooms are measured and compar
ed with each other and with a stand.
ard; difficulties are diagnosed, and leaks
stopped The great need TODAY Is fol
trained teachers, trained in modern
educational methods, capable of using
these tools TO locate the causes of fail.
ure, predict failures and then apply the
tabled ounce of cure before the failure
is made.
Scientific classification of children Is
not a dream in education in Ardmore
1t has actually been done and the re
suits are being very closely checked up
rot only with pupils here, but compar
ing with similar classification at othel

AVERAGE ATTENDANCE
AT BIBLE CLASS OF THE
BROADWAY BAPTIST IS.
APPROXIM 25O

1t is an unusual sight to see $50
men and women and boys and girls in
the same school and all In the same
class, studying the same textbook,
under the same teacher, but this is a
sight that may be witnessed every
Wednesday evening at Broadway Bap-
tlst church. For several months this
class has sustained a regular attend
ance of from $50 to 300. They use no
text book but the Bible. They began
with Genesis and are now just com
pleting the book Of Numbers. Each
lesson covers about ten chapters. Each
chapter is given name that sums up
and suggests as nearly as possible
every thing in the chapter. These
names are memorized, enabling those
who carefully study a book to write
out or repeat from memory the sub
stance of that book. Lawyers, doctors,
merchants, oil men, busy house wives
and school children vie with each other
in the mastery of this great book.
The secret Of this large class with a
sustained interest is not in the teach
er so much as in the book. The Bible
is the most remarkable and popular
book in print today. Some one has
said, 1T contains the mind of God,
the state of man, the way of salvation,
the doom of sinners and the happiness
Of saints. Its doctrines are holy, its
precepts are binding. its histories are
true, and its decisions are immutable.
Read il to be wise, believe it to be safe,
and practice it to be holy. 1t contains
light TO direct you, bread to support
you, and comfort to cheer you. 1t is
the travellers map, the pilgrims staff,
the pilots compass, the soldiers sword
and the christians charter. Here par
adise is restored, heaven opened. and
the gates of hell disclosed Christ is its
grand subject, our good its design, and
the glory of God its end. 1t should
fill the memory. rule the heart, and
guide the feet. Read it slowly, fire.
quently and prayerfully. 1t is mine
of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a
round of pleasure. II is given you in
life, will be opened in judgment and he
remembered forever. 1t involves the
highst responsibility, will reward the
greatest labor, and condemns all who
trfle with its sacred contents"

schools. This classification Is becoming
more general. Children who once failed
not only TO pass in their work but they
are more content and happy in the
work. In some places the per cent Of
failures has been reduced more than
one third.
The work of the department OF re-
search is not only technical, but is hu.
nan, The child is treated as an individ-
ual, not all capacities of the individ-
ual can be measured. Ambition and in
spiration play their important part, likes
and dislakes, successes and failures and
even hobbies find a. place on the Guid-
ance Record card of the pupils in the
Ardmore schools.
Educational and vocational guidance
calls for bread. comprehensive informa-
tion Of each child. That guidance Is
needed, is admitted by every man and
woman who looks back on his life and
remembers the time when he was crop

and certainly not with counsel built up
on broad. definite, information covering
many yearsIn many Of life's activities
Vocational guidance really means voca-
tional counseling. The counsellor must
have q wide knowledge of human ma
ture. He must know the mental quail

an hours interview, but knowledge
gained about the individuals for years
and should start with the sixth grade
as this is about the time the child be

1t is certainly a step forward in any
school system to see that such work Is
carried on.

INTERNATIONAL Y. NJ. G. A.
SECRETARY SCOUTS IDEA OF
JAP-UNITED STATES WAR

Chicago, May 1S.-A fight to a fin
ish between tho United States and
Japan would result in Japan being
wiped off the map" George Gleason,
international Y. NJ. G. a. secretary,
who has just returned from a trip
through the Orient, declared today in
addressing the international disarm-
ament congress here.
Mr.. Gleason declared that "only
those living in the kindergarten of
international affairs could picture the
possibility Of war between this coun-
try and Japan" however, and the
combining all the friction grow e out
of the Island of Yap. Korea, China
and California would not furnish the
remotest cause for war
"Evcn if there were cause he
continued, real fight to finish
between the two nations would put
Japan off the map. The island en-
plre might capture the Philippines
IIayaii. or even a part OF our west
coast, but when the mighty resources
and technical skill Of this vast con
tinent were once modified, Japan un-
able to draw on bankrupt Europe
would be literally starved to her
knees.
"The Japanese themselves know it,
and none better than the army men
"Japan's Monroe doctrine for Asia,
though often criticised should meet
with American approval. When the
smoke of war has cleared away and
the worlds nerves become relaxed
we may see that Japan's policy for
Asia is the fame as our stand for the
open door Of equal opportunity.
Furthermore, Japan is ready 10 fol-
low Americas leadership if she has
proof that II is unselfsh and just
Had the American government contin
ucd its announced policies Of world
service. Japan would be following us

Musicians Contribute
Flood Relief to Members

Among the local organizations who
have been contributing relief to suf-
ferers of the flood the Pueblo Musi-
clans Union were one of the first to
get busy and do some real practical
work in this line by locating members
and their families who were in the
flood district and suffered losses of
homes, personal property, etc. and
helping them get located in homes
and giving them financial assistance
at the time they needed 1t the most.
AS soon as 1t was possible to do so
the Union had "A meeting and trans
fered its treasury to a relief fund and
appointed its executive board as a re-
lief committee in charge of assisting e
its members. They also got in touch
with the national officers OF the
American Federation of Musicians
who at once sent out an appeal to all
of the eight hundred locals in the
United states and Canada to send re-
lief to the Pueblo Musicians. the re-
suit of this appeal has been cash do
nations received over $1,000 which
has been apportioned to the members
here who suffered heavy losses of
property. instruments. personal be-
longinss. valuable music, etc. Tho
members feel sincerely thankful to
the Musicians Unions for their prompt
and generous assistance and also for
the many expressions OF sympathy
from musicians thruout the country.

pecially favorable for stocking. The
thirty or more lakes in the region will
eventually produce as many spawn
as the rest of the state hatcheries
combined. Land is said to have de-
clared and it is considerable probable
that because of the transportation
facilities and ideal conditions for
spawning. the lakes in the San Isabel
will be of the best beds in the country
for producing fish. The state now
has on hand 20,O00,000 spawn, and
Land stated that he would recon-
mend to the state department the
transporting of at least 100000
there early next year. He hopes that
the area just visited will eventually

pectod that three years will be neces-

but the plan is to add many each
