MOTHER
She loved red-birds and bright morn
ings,
Honeysuckle and sweet spring rone,
Children's laughter, and pansy faces,
All brave things that the sunshine
,
knows.
She was frail at last like the lilies,
But her smile was sunshine across
the snows.
Music she loved, and friendly greet
ings;
\ Kind words spoken and ill, forgot;
She never faltered at any grievance,
Though her heart was hurt and her
eyes were hot
There was nothing honest and wise
and merry
And brave and tender, that she waa
not
Long ago in a lovely garden
Where dim leaves of the oUve stir,
A young man knelt; but had He
never
Died for His truth and been laid in
myrrh,
I should have heard of the heart's
high courage,
And God's great mercy?because of
her.

BIRD CLUB NOTES
At the Bird Club meeting this
week Emerson Roebuck read an arti
cle regarding the killing of 200 birds
by some boys, when the birds sought
shelter in a barn during a snowstorm.
The story was -sent in as a newspaper
clipping by Mrs. Grandin Vought, of
Gatesville, who has been reading of
the meetings of the club in these
columns.
In the story, the boys dropped
their heads in shame when some one
told them that, with the exception of j
the sparrows, they had killed some
of the best friends of the farmers.
"Boys," said this older man, "we
except injurious animals, insects,
weed seeds, and the like. Now for
instance, just suppose each of those I
birds you killed ate an average of j
know these birds eat very few things
100 insects a day. That means 200
killed would eat 20,000 in a day. I
During the summer months they
would destroy 2/)00ft00 insects, to j
say nothing of seeds from injurious
weeds and other foea to the farmer.
"So, when you want to loll another
bird, stop and reason: rWhy should
I do thisf Has is ever banned me? I
Does it not have the same right to j
live, sing, and build its home ss any I
other creature?'
"Let's not destroy our bird I
friends," says Mr. Hammer in this J
. true story printed in the Prugres j
she Farmer.
H. P. Norman told of John Silver,
the homing pigeon, hero of Gran Pre. j
During the Meuse-Argwrne drive in t
1918, he was released in the face of I
heavy gun fire to carry a menage
to headquarters. Though wounded j
he readied his goal in 25 minutes. I
He recovered and was finally taken]
to Hawaii, where ha died i? 193$. [
Hie remains have ban placed with]
the army relics in Daytoa, Ohio, aad I
his name added to the roll call of thai

In stressing the need for Home
Life Education in the school, Miss J
Joyner said:
"Here in Pitt County we are train- J
ing the futma Homemakers in cot
tages like thoee that the majority I
can afford after marriage. They
are learning the duties and responsi
bilities that will make Pitt County
proud of its homes now and in the!
future. We are helping them to j
develop socially by activities such!
as teas and dinners. Our home pro j-1
ect programs helps to solve the I
problems of the family.. By a home j
?project we mean a completed piece!
of work done at home under the |
supervision of the teacher with the!
cooperation of each member of the |
family. Each student completes two I
projects a year. .. j
"Never before nas were oeen more ?
need for Home Life Education inj

before we can build a strong- America j
today we must build stronger Ameri

stronger Americans we must build
better homes for the American
youth." *
Miss Cameron, in presenting the
m?fn objectives of Business Educe- ]
tion as taught in this county, dis-1
cussed teaching for personal use,!
personality, guidance in finding the
right kind of work, and business as
a vocational subject. She pointed
out the essentials of Business Edu
cation to be the providing of pupils
with an appreciation and understand
ing of the economic system, teaching
them how to deal successfully with
others, acquainting them with local
opportunities and giving them a
thorough knowledge of office work.
In closing, Miss Cameron gave re
quirements for a recommendation
from her department as follows:
"For a recommendation from the
business department of Farrnvflle
High School, a minimum speed in!
typing of 60 words per minute for
the second year students, and 30
words for the first year students is
required. A minimum of 80 words
per minute in shorthand must be
made in .order to make an "A" grade
on the course and only those sta-1
dents who make "A's" are recom

student must know how to write a
letter of application and complete an
interview with a prospective em
