In his addresses Professor Wagner

8. Those who see something of in
terest in animals.
He gave bountifully of his exper-
fences with animal life both at his
home in Madison and in the wilds of
the north. He declared that animals
harm no one, that one may have a
lot of fun with them yet not kill
Ghem, and that they make the world
much better place in which to
live. The presence of animals and
birds in the world make it more at
tractive and for that reason nearly
all life should be given due consid-
