not continea to etnical lnlluence. It has been one of the largest
single factors in community development. Much of the popula
tion was attracted here by the educational institution. Annually
it brings in additional residents. Through it more outside money
is yearly brought into Salem than by any of our manufacturing
enterprises. Hence Willamette University is one of Salem's
greatest assets, intellectually, socially, morally and commercially.

The schools of the nation face a crisis, and many will be
forced to close. Every educational institution is functioning under
difficulties. From wealthy eastern institutions like Harvard
down through the list of heavily endowed state universities, to
the small struggling sectarian colleges, and on to the public and
district schools, all are appealing for help. Thousands of schools
have been closed for lack of teachers, thousands more will be
forced to close, and unless the people rally whole-heartedly to the
support of the schools, the future welfare of the nation is
menaced. ...

In common with other educational institutions, the flair of
uiHiress is nying over wiuamette university. A new srirls' dor
mitory must be erected to care for attendance. The main building
destroyed iy lire last winter, must be rebuilt. New eauioment
must be supplied and increased salaries insured to enable instruct
ors to meet the higher cost of living.

which came every half hour, all day
of the farmhouse.
"I'd like to know what sort of bird
that Is!" he exclaimed at last?. "If
he'd only .come out here in the yard
I'd ask him his name rand tell him
what I think of him, too."
But the stranger never stirred out
of.the kitchen. And at length Rusty plained.

Cr. Crow hesitated.
"Where's Farmer Green?" he in
quired. "Oh! He's working in the hay
field." "Where's Johnnie Green?" Mr
Crow asked.

Seeing Jimmy Rabbit passing thru
the orchard on his way home from
the cabbage patch, Rusty called to
him.
"If you happen to see old Mr.
Crow, I wish you would ask hhn if
he won't please come right over to
the orchard," Rusty Wren said.
"There's something I want- to find
out. And Mr. Crow knows so much
that perhaps he can help me."
Jimmy Rabbit declared that he
Would be delighted to deliver the
message. And he must have gone out
of his way to find Mr. Crow, for the
gentleman arrived at the orchard In
less than sixteen minutes.
Rusty was waiting for him. A.nd,
having explained about the strange
bird as well as he could, he asked
come with you, then," Mr.
Crow croaked.
So taey flew to the dqoryard. And
they hadn't waited there long when
the strange bird sang his "Cuckoo!
cuckoo!"
"There!" said Rusty. "That's his
silly song!"
And to his surprise MY. Crow
haw-hawed right out.
"What's the joke?" Rusty Wren
wanted to know.
"That's not a bird " said old Mr.
Crow "or, at least, it's not a real
bird. He's made of wood. And he
lives inside a cuckoo clock."
"Ah!" Rusty cried. "An alarm
clock!"
But old Mr. Crwo shook his head.
"No!" he replied. "It's just an
everyday clock. And, instead of strik
ing, it lets this little wooden bird
come out and sing."
Rusty Wren said that he wouldn't
care for a clock like that -and that
he didn't see why Farmer Green had
brought it home, anyhow.
cuckoo ciocks amuse the women
and children," Mr. Crow remarked
wisely.
men you think Farmer Green
was not dissatisfied with my singing?
You think he would like me to wake
him every morning, just as I used
to?" Rusty waited eagerly for Mr
Crow's opinion.
Old Mr. Crow pondered for a while
before answering. He reflected that
since it was long past corn-planting
time, It really made no difference to
him whether Farmer Green overslept
or not. If the corn had just been put
in the ground, he would have liked
to have Farmer Green stayed in bed
all day long.
'I understand that the whole fam
ily enjoys your songs," Mr. Crow told
Rusty at last "And for the present
you may as well sing your dawn song
right here in your own tree, Deneatn
Farmer Green's window. But if you're
living here next spring, I wish you
would consult me again."
Rusty Wren agreed to that, thank
ing Mr. Crow for his kindness, too.
And, afterward, instead of being an
gry, he laughed whenever he heard
that silly "Cuckoo! cuckoo!" Since
he knew it was only a wooden bird.
Rusty Wren was jealous no longer.
The next morning he awakened
Farmer Green at the break o" day.
And the hired man was so sleepy
that he fell downstairs and couldn't
work for a whole week.
