BANGS DISEASE TESTS

Federal Veterinarian D. G.. Herd,
who has been conducting Bangs dis
ease tests in Morgan county, reports
the completion of the first test in
Windsor township. In the area 219
herds with a total of 1,041 cattle
were tested In this number, there
were found 10 reactors in five sep
arate herds. In addition 10 cattle
are under suspicion and will be re-
tested within a short time. The
percentage of infection in this area
is comparatively low; 26 herd own
ers refused to have this test.
Fred Kennard, vocational agri-
culture teacher at Stockport, and
County Agent Hum, deserve much
credit for developing interest and
giving proper information concern
ing this test. clifford Wallace of
Stockport, assisted DR.. Herd in this
work. Test of Marion township is
now near completion. H. J. Thomas
of Chesterhill is assisting in this
section. 1t is, possible for other
townships to have township and
test with a large percent of the
herd owners cooperating. Any in
terested in individual or area tests
should contact County Agriculture
Agent Hum.

Morgan County Thursday November

did life was spent in the chair of
moral philosophy Virginia, Univer-
sity, 1845-1873. The Eclectic Series
of Readers shaped the American
mind, Of the 10th century, reaching
sale of 122,0O0,OOO copies, a sale
equaled only by the Bible. He se-
lected the best English writer's, and
culled the gems and treasures of
literature. Any living man or wom-
an who came under their influence
is to be congratulated. These Sc
lections formed a taste for the best
in prose and poetry. Much that is
fine would never have been gener-
ally known, had he not included
them in his readers.
1t may be true that he tried out
the appeal Of his juvenile selections
by repeating them to flocks of chill
dren that he found in the street.
However he is said to have been
rather disagreeable as a compan-
ion, and not popular with students,
and members of the faculty. AS he
taught in Kentucky, and later in
Virginia, some have. said he was a
southern sympathizer. No refer
ence is made in the readers to the
Civil war 1t may have been ha-
tired for all wars, and not SYM
pathy with any side that dictated
his selections. I think Of two beau
tiful poems that point that way, and
maybe you can think of them to.
He was friend of the poor and ex-
tended his hospitality to the negro
race, during Reconstruction Days
So great a man was likely to have
odd combinations of traits in char
acter, and in this he was no excep-
ton. His name was household
word for century, and should not
be forgotten now.--Howard H. Scott.

BIRD PROTECTION PAYS

Skeptical, hardheaded business
men today are beginning to realize
that bird protection pays-not only
in terms of education and recreation,
but also in the coin of the realm,
declares William Vogt in the current
Rotarian Magazine. Where hunters
once went with guns, tourists now
go with cameras and field glasses
to sanctuaries where the egret, wood
ibis, roseate spoonbill, and other
birds are being saved from eXtinc-
ton.
The sanctuary movement, begun
in 1900 and taken up in 1902 by the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties, has faced bitter opposition,
according to the writer, who is edi-
tor of "Bird Lore" Just as Theo-
dore Roosevelt was condemned for
his efforts to reduce the kill of
birds, so also have organized con
servationists been denounced as per-
sons who would destroy a great in
dustry and throw thousands of men
out Of work. Wardens of sanctuar-
les have been attacked, even mur-
dered! Yet bird lovers have persist
ed in their work, which shows re-
suits today.
but the increase in the number
of birds is not the sole result"
Vogt points out can almost univer-
sal charity for wild life is another
Hundreds of thousands of people ev-
cry winter regularly feed birds. Even
hawks and owls, once killed indis-
criminately are now protected in
most states both bylaw and by sen
timent.
'"This has resulted in a better
America" he urges. "Songbirds
that were formerly killed now rear
their families to help man control
the insects. In the Theodore Roose-
welt Sanctuary it has never been
necessary to use an ounce of in
secticide.''
The struggle is not yet over, he
says, for the public must realize
that bird in the bush is worth two
in the hand. Destruction of swamps,
forests, and prairies still is obliter-
ating habitats without which wild
life cannot survive and, hence, can
not help to restore a natural bal
ance favorable to man.
No one need wait to establish a
great sanctuary like those in Flor
ida, Louisiana, or other states, Vogt
for anyone who will use
a little ingenuity can create his own
sanctuary in suburb, garden, or
farm. The same formula may be
used that has been so successful in
Audubon sanctuaries; protection
plus cover plus food plus water |
equals birds. It's success has been
time and again, for the |
asst 38 years.

THE INFLUENCE OF
VIM. III. McGUFTEY

The advent of the McGuffey read
ers was great event. 1t marked
an historical epoch in 81 states
Next to the Bible they nodded the
moral life of two generations. The
character of third generation, nc
doubt has been Influenced by the
transmission of these moral quail
ties from parents who used these
text books. 1t is now over hun
Gred years since this good influence
began in 1896
Coming with his parents to the
Western Reserve in 1902, when
two years old, one might say he was
a product of that staid and COM
mendable community, where he
spent his childhood and youth. The
old home was just outside the boun-
daries of Youngstown. There is a
long street called McGuffey Road, a
Memorial McGuffey Church, and a
fine McGuffey school near the old
home.
His mother, a widow, was respon-
sible for inspiring him with love
of knowledge, and a desire to know
something, and to be something in
the world. She was in prayer for
him. A stranger passing by heard
the impassioned prayer that her boy
might somehow get an education.
The stranger learned her name, re-
turned to the cottage, and made ar
rangements for the boy to go to the
academy where he was president
The story sounds plausible, but has
been discredited in later years, be-
cause the incident was unknown to
his surviving realtives. The Presby-
terian minister in Youngstown gave
him a start in classical literature,
which became his field as an educa-
tor. His memory was remarkable.
He could repeat entire books Of the
Bible, and sections OF other litera-
ture as well. He became Presby-
terian minister himself, preaching
every Sunday for some years. He
stated he had preached 5000 SER
mons, but had never written one.
He graduated with honors at
Washington, Pa, college. He taught
school in Kentucky. and in Miami
University. He became president
Of our nearby Ohio University, 1889
lS4s. The remainder Of his splen- |
