Mr. Ellis declared that. "the South pours its wealth into; the great industrial centers which it largely supports, educating one third of the entire nation's children, with one-sixth of the nation's school revenues. He spoke on the assigned subject of "Federal Participation In Education." Fourth of Natural Increase in South fourth of the natural'in- crease of population is naturally in the Southj including" Arkansas, and this proportion leaves home- stiles for the north and east each year," he said. "In the 24 per cent of enrolled school children outside the South in high school; in the SoUth only 16 per cent are in high school.

The Southern States' sp.eiid more'of the income per capita for education than any other section. Arkansas alone spent last year $.12,023,809 on her schools!

Which caused a mother to remark: "Well, Corn's in hot water." But she was joking, because th of the club members find the pigeon project solves a lot of vacation problems: The" children are kept constructively busy every minule; they are something of business; they are studying bird-lore and about Life, direct from Mother Nature, thc most wholesome way.
