Educational Column.
The eighth month of our Public
School ends today (Friday).
The interest in school is still at
normal height. Very little is said
among the pupils about being tired
and wishing for school to close.
Some of the rooms are planning
for a picnic for tomorrow (Saturday)
it being San Jacinto Day.
Lucy Wood entered the 8th grade
on Monday as a new pupil.
Willard Marshall has been con-
fined to his room the ^>ast ten days
with an acute attack of rheumatism.
All miss Willard from his accustomed
place in school.
"Suppose," said the wise orator—
"though 'tis a thought stupen-
dous—
Suppose a baby one year old, with
arms of the tremendous
Length of ninety-three million miles,
Should in a freak of fun,
Reach up and touch the sun,
That child would be
Two hundred fifty-three
Years old,
I'm told,
Before it learned
Its hand was burned.".
An Indian legend tells us that
— —
in
the early times when the Indians lived
in the forests that used to stretch
where now are cities and fields, there
were many wild birds.
The copper-faced children who
then played in the shade of the frees
or on the shores of the Great Lakes
knew all these birds well.
The Ojibways tell us that the birds
of the forests and prairies had no
feathers.
They seemed to lack comfort; for
on one summer day they met in
council to see if something could not
be done to make them more comfort-
able. The place of meeting was in
a valley in the green and dusky
depths of a great forest. After a
great deal of singing, calling, crow-
ing and cawing, it was decided that
the birds should petition the gods of
the forest for some sort of covering.
This request was readily granted.
The return messenger stated that
suits of feathers would be prepared
for every bird.
' 'One of your number must go
and bring the suits," the message
ran. "The way is long; a strong
bird should be sent for the journey."
Many birds expressed a willing-
ness to go, but not a few of them
were small and would be unable to
carry back the suits. The eagle
was not present. After a lone dis-

arranged that the
should go on the
cussion, it was
turkey buzzard
errand.
Off he flew. For miles he winged
his way through the dense forest,
At last the woods began to grow
thinner, and at last the bird reached
a large cleared space* There,
spread out on the rocks,were suits of
every possible shape, size and color
—all made of feathers.
The turkey buzzard alighted on a
huge rock and eyed the garments
He thought he would pick out one
for himself first, so began to try
them on. The greater part were too
small, a few were too large, and
some were too thin.
He soon found one, however, that
must have been designed for him,
for it was light, but warm, and
of a dull, sooty-black hue. The
bird sighed. Hfe laid down the suit
and looked wistfully at the beautiful
coat of the red bird and of the blue
jay. He tried to put on the blue
jay's coat, but found himself chok-
ing before he could get it over his
head.
"I will not do it," he said. "The
other is mine and it is comfortable
for it has no hood and there will be
no feathers to get into my eyes."
He gathered up the garments.
There were many of them, but they
seemed strangely light, and it gave
him no trouble to carry them.
Many were the exclamations of
delight, -for the birds were much
pleased with their new clothes.
Even to this day the hood has
never been added to thecostume of
the turkey buzzard, or his cousin,
the turkey. Although some are
elegantly dressed in white or bronze
Jfeathers, they all have a bare head.
