Facta Which Point to Its Great I'se- fulucss. Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: The United States Department of Agriculture informs me that investigations are being made with reference to the English Starling and that any information as to the habits of the bird would he welcome.

I have published various papers showing its beneficial character, and during the past summer and fall have given it much attention. My nesting box was located lit the midst of a fruit garde'n containing strawberries, raspberries, currants, cherries, blackberries and grapes, together with numerous vegetables. Not one of these products was uehed hy the starlings, 'mere were me mulberrv trees which bore abundantly, the fruit lasting six weeks, these trees I fancied that the starlings resorted with many other birds, but I may have been mistaken In this, as the former closely resemble the catbird when the plumage varies, and there are consequently strong grounds tor believing that the depredations of the catbird, a ravenous fruit eater, have been erroneously ascribed to the starting hv munv oeraons who were in competent to discriminate between the species. As previously reported, the value of the starling 1 other ioxIous insects it to pre-empt a isectivorous birds, and the ition this spring by the York Con missioner of Agrieul- lie' tmrb'ored a species of Web irm injurious to orchards should be in mv "oii'i'MO a error. the birds thus satistied are not near- so likely to att eminder that it not wise to interfere with natun schemes by extirpating species of life un.il all its la.

Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Recently I have read much about the married teacher and mother-teacher in the public itch-vis. Would you kind ly allow me to express my opinion on this subject.

These teachers and their friends claim they should be retained in the schools; tie-y say all proiessions are oDen to woman. True, hut what ever profession she takes up, be it or an otlice in her homo. in business location of the public, who need her services and are at liberty to employ her. It is not compulsory but these teachers would compel the school board to retain them. Would this be fair to tie- children: one think they would do as good work or pay as much attention to tne teacn- Again, they cl tim, men are not asked to resign when they marry.

In all civilized contries, man is considered the home provider, and for natural onuses ho cannot take woman's place in the home; she must bear and rear the children, and a man win narmy ask a woman to share his lot unless he can provide for her. Sometimes something happens, her help is fed, if if ho loves her work so well. why not open a private school? Many parents might sue an opportunity. Our schools should he conducted as a business, and what bust-lies man wxiuld allow an employee tc slv months, or a year's ab sence, with the understanding that tnair positions were waning 101 men at the end of that time? Our officials are elected to carry on the- State ana city niraiis as oosslhle. Would they, if ducting a private business, grant as many vacations and leaves of absence as we read about?
