Humane Society Superintendent of puhlic lit 'struction for California, Wm.

"Kven if it with not required j 1 should expect io find every niod i em school system making use of children's Interest in pets to de velop not only a sympathetic in terest in other forms of life but to enlarge, a child's own exper ience und consequently make ll easier to teach reading and hiu gunif". "Those are merely some of the prnclleal reasons for interesting children In bird and animal life, both domestic and wild. As chil dren rH older, naturally tho in struction will take tho form of conservation of fish and game and other wild life in addition to the care of domesticated animals." It Is reported that in Macy street school, Los Angeles, hu mane education has been used ef fectively in overcoming race pre judice.' 1-ast year only Mexican, Chinese. Syrian and Italian chil dren attended this school. In ad dition, this district has a part of tho Los Angeles river within Its borders, being a convenient place to leave puppies, kittens and other household pts. Now the children have learned to bo kind, they visit tho river regularly und bring in forsaken animals. One of the. cbiKs rooms Is used for these an imals and tho children shai'e gladly in tho care of the pets, carrying the small animals home at night to bo cared for. During tho last five years, children have tukon care of -100 homelcsH or sick unlmals.
