Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbits eyes twinkled when
Jenny Wren said she must look her
old house over to see If it was fit to
live in. "I can save you that trou-
ble," said he.
What do you mean?" Jenny's
voice was very sharp.
"Only that your old house is al
ready occupied" replied Peter.
Bully the English Sparrow has been
living in it for the last two months.
In fact, he already has good-sized
family there"
What" screamed Jenny and Mr..
Wren together. Then without even
saying good-by to Peter they flew
In a great rage to see if he had
told them the truth. Presently he
heard them scolding as fast as their
tongues could go, and this is very
fast indeed.
Much good that will do them"
chuckled Peter. They will have to
find a new house this year. All the
sharp tongues in the world couldn't
bulge Bully the English Sparrow.
MY, my, my, just hear that racket!
I think I'll go over and see what is
going on"
So Peter hoped to place where
he could get good view OF Jenny
Wrens old home and still not be
too far from the safety of the old
stone wall. Jenny Wren's old home
had been in a hole in one of the
old apple trees. Looking over to it
Peter could see Mrs. Bully sitting in
the little round doorway and quite
filling it. She was shrieking ex-
citedly. Hopping and fitting from
tWig to twig close by were Jenny and
Mr.. Wren, their tails pointing almost
straight up to the sky, and scolding
as fast as they could make their
tongues go.
Flying savagely first at one and
then at the other and almost drown
ing their voices with his own harsh
cries was Bully himself. He was
perhaps one-fourth larger than Mr..
Wren, although he looked half again
as big. But for the fact that his
new spring suit was very dirty, due
to his fondness for taking dust baths
and the fact that he cares nothing
about his personal appearance and
takes no care of himself, he would
have been fairly good-looking fell
low. His back was more or less of
an ashy color with black and chest
nut stripes His wings were brown
with a white bar on each. His
throat and breast were black, and
below that he was of dirty white
By ruffling up his feathers and
raising his wings slightly as he
hoped about, he managed to make
himself appear much bigger than
he really was. He looked like the
regular little fighting savage that
he is. The noise had brought all
the other birds in the Old Orchard
to see what was going on, and every
one of them was screaming and
urging Jenny and Mr. Wren to stand
up for their rights. Not one of them
had a good word for Bully and his
wife. 1t certainly was a disgraceful
neighborhood squabble.

The group of 100 educators clos
ed its week of meetings with the
adoption of a platform of seven
recommendation for ways Dr -yhich
the schools of the South can help
to promote better understanding
between the whites and the No
groes.
The conference represented the
first united condemnation by
Suothern educators of Governor
Eugene Talmadge's attack on the
Georgia school system. No repre-
sentatives from Georgia schools
were present, although several had
mace reservations before the Tai
madg incident.
RACIAL SITUATION ~
Purpose of the conference was to
study the responsibilities of the
schools for developing intelligent
citizens in relation to the prob
lens of the South, particularly
those involved in the racial situa-
ton.
1t was sponsored by the Confer
ence on Education and Race Re-
lations, which is an association OF
100 Southern educators, and is one
of a series of similar meetings
which have been held in recent
years in various parts of the South
All states in the South were rep
resented, except Georgia. Included
were heads of the departments OF
education of teachers colleges anc
representatives of the state depart
mentS of education.
The complete text of the resolu'
ton read as follows:
cit is the sense of this body thai
our colleges and public schools have
the opportunity, and a correspond
ing obligation, to render the South
and the nation an ineStimable
service by training up citizenship
intelligent and minded enough
to handle wisely and justly the ra-
cial problems that are so serious
factor in our regional and nation
al life.
To that end we believe it
desirable:
81. That every important
college in the South carry a
special course of study on race
problems;
"2. That this subject be dealt
with effectively also in col
lege courses in sociology, So
cial problems and the like;
80. That it be treated con-
structively in the college and
public school teaching of ge-
ography, history, civics, liter
allure, music, and other sub
jects where such treatment can
be given logically and normal
ly;
"a. That programs and ma
terials of adult education be
expanded to include a broader
understanding of positive ra-
