It will be much better to make .use of this sold school, than to put money into a second school --or as some might suggest, to build more rooms On to the new school. .A larger unit than the 13 rooms' now at the location, will be un- wieldy. It would be much better from an in- structional standpoint, and from a discipline standpoint, to.place a junior principal over three or four classrooms in the old building, which might possibly grow totheeight rooms it once was, In the meantime the additional rooms eight -rooms of students which it could . possibly house. The new school was built to fill a demand. There was need for. a central location: for 13 classrooms, with playground to suit the number of pupils. It was agreed that the only way to achieve this was to' build a new school. The. taxpayers agreed to this and the school was built. - (Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvino) 1.

SLAUGHTER OF TILE DOVES The Editor, Clinton News -Record DEAR EDITOR: , It is to be regretted that Clin- ton Fish and Game Club did not see its way Blear to leave the Mourning Dove off its list of game birds, regardless of the sanction of the Ontario Department. In "Birds of America" an Am- erican publication; there is this about the beautiful Mourning Dove: "A:pparentiyi i3ecattsb of the strong and swift flight of the Mourning Dove, it was for many years considered a "game" bird. Under the Federal Migratory Bird Law, it was classed as a migrat- ory bird and in that character was given the protection to which it is entitled, "The Mourning Dove is one of the most useful of birds; it feeds extensively on weed seeds, insects, especially grasshoppers," What then is the reason for. this slaughter? Surely not for the sniall amount of meat procur- ed from this small and graceful bird? In a country like Canada, where agriculture is the basic in dustry, the practical value of birds Cannot be 'too often stressed. They are the chief natural factors n keeping in check injurious form anis fotest insects, ,noxious weeds and destructive rodents, and the protection of birds from the point of view of national economy is essential. Crop losses due to depredations of insects have amount to the startling figure of $125,000,000 per year. Preying on these are many `birds `. including . the Mouthing Dove, Nighthawks, Swift's and Swallows. One young robin weighing three ounces was,: found tohave eaten 5.Ya ouncesof cut-, worms' in a single day. So great is the value of birds - from a practical standpoint, that, were It not for them, successful agriculture would be quite impos- sible, "I saw with; open eyes, Singing birds sweet, Soid in the shops For the people to eat; Sold in the shops of.
