F all the friends of m ankind provided for in the arranging of
this great universe, the wild feathered songsters probably ask
the least in return for the good they do.
The robin th a t tw itters in the tree by your bedroom window, whose
joyous m usic puts you in a fram e of m ind th at bodes a happy day,
would fly away if you should go to him with food. He is satisfied with
w hat N ature provides.
T he hum m ing bird, flitting from flower to flower, in return for the
nourishm ent he takes, eats the bugs that would destroy the blossoms.
The canary, one of the greatest of songsters, would ask nothing if
not cooped up where he is unable to search for food. T aken from the
great outdoors and penned into a space a few inches square, the joy­
ous spirit he shows under such a change of circum stances is one that
m ight well be an inspiration to m ankind.
Even the E nglish sparrow, despised as he is, is a scavenger of no
m ean ability.
In return for being left alone, with no desire to intrude them selves
where not wanted, a great m ajority of the feathered anim als spend
their lives in ridding trees and flowers of the bugs th at would destroy
them .
Yet we are told there are boys in C ottage Grove who with sling shots
are killing and m aim ing these friends of theirs. A broken wing or a
broken leg m eans a life of suffering for these little anim als. To kill
one is to destroy a harm less creature, whose death can benefit no one
and whose only purpose in life is to be useful.
T he good book says th a t none of these can fall unknow n to the
power th at created it, which undoubtedly m eans th at he will not look
lightly npon wanton destruction.
It is not at all likely th a t the little boy who speeds a stone th at lay s
a little body quivering think of its cruelty; his parents have not
explained it to him ; probably he does not expect to hit the m ark; but
he Will hit the m ark once in a while, frail wings and legs will be
broken; a useful life will be crushed out or a harm less creature will be
left to suffer agony, and its joyous song changed to a chirp of despair.
How m uch better it would be to build them little houses where they
m ight lay their tiny eggs free from danger and rear their little fledg­
lings where felines and other enem ies could reach them not.

Je ra rd is a student a t the University

His “ s tu n t” this- year was a cowboy

when the club reached Pendleton,
where they are connoisseurs in these

Now, Je ra rd is wearing a solid gold

EARTH EDUCATIONFOR SCHOOLS
Unique T urn in Back to the Land
Movement.
F u rth e r expression to the sentiment
in favor of “ earth education” tha t is
so strong throughout Oregon today,
will be given Febraury 12, which has
been made Children’s Day in the Coun­
try Life Movement. At th a t time
schools of the sta te are expected to
pay special attention to the subject of
the development of Oregon’s soil, the
improvement of its farms and the bet­
te rm e nt of country life generally.
Special programs will be arranged
and in many cities and villages parades
will be held by school children. The
slogan decided on for the occasion is :
“ Better Farm s Will Build the S ta te .”

The object of the “ labor” movement
is mainly “ less labor.”
Bill Hayward, the famous athletic
coach of the University of Oregon, has
arranged for a tour of the high schools
of the state, lecturing on "P roper and
Improper Methods of Track Work.”
Bill will take along his collection of
Olympic game photographs and lantern
slides taken a t Stockholm last year.
“ The idea,” says Hayward, “ is to
give the boys some help and advice as
to how they should go about their
training. If they are going in for
athletics, there is no reason why they
should not do it right, and a few time­
ly hints will bring about surprising re­
s u lts.”
Last year Coach Hayward gave a
talk before track season to the boys
of the Eugene high school. It was
such a success tha t other schools asked
for the same thing, and this y e a r’s e x ­
tended trip is a result. A rrangements
