The month of October, it is sald, is the “starting point.” ‘According to the records of ornithological socleties for general migration of the feathered tribe, however, it is not infrequently the case that birds that migrate in large numbers about the middle or the last of the present month have either not arrived here or have passed south earller on the corresponding dates of previous years.

About the time that we have our first frost, which is always preceded by a rather cold rain and cloudy days, the “honk” of the goose and the chirp of hosts of the feathered tribes can be heard in their silent flight. ‘The District of Columbia, according to the late Dr. John Burroughs, is lo. cated in the direct pathway of migra- tory birds. NEW FOSSIL GROUP OF ANIMALS FOUND Types Heretofore Unknown Roamed Asia Aeons Ago, Chapman Finds Show. espondence of the Associated Pre PEKING, September 19.—The fos- silized skull of a two-horned beast that probably walked the earth on cloven hoofs some millions of vears ago, is the latest discovery made by the third Asiatic expedition. Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the expedition, and Walter Granger, chief paleontologist of the expedition, have just returned from Mongolla. The skull was regarded as the most important find of the season. The horns are larger at the top than at the juncture with the skull, suggest- ing that the animal might have be- longed to the giraffe family. Two other skulls were found, larger and suggestive of the rhinocerus, but with teeth like nothing heretofore ‘The skulls are being shipped embedded in the rock in which they were found, to the Museum of tural History in New York. An important feature of the finds, anger said, is the fact that they suggest a new group of prehistoric anfmals in Asia.

MANILA, September 10.—That a special system of instruction is desira ble for the non-Christian peoples of the Philippines, especially for the Moros who inhabit Mindanao and Sulu and who are Mohammedans the conclusion of a board of Ame experts, headed by Dr. Paul Monroe of Columbia University, which spent four months in making a survey of the educational system of the islands. The board suggested that a special department of. the Bureau of Educa- tion be created to take charge and make a close study of school work among these peoples. The board’s re- port says: “The non-Christian peoples need a system of education that in many es- | sential respects should differ from that developed for the great mass of the Filipino people. Only by such special treatment can the non-Christian_ peo- ples be brought up to the cultural and economie level of the Christian popula- tion. To.glve them the same educa- tion as that of the Christian peoples results simply in drawing off a few of the ablest of their youth into the general population. A bill providing for sey for boys and girls in Mindanao and Sulu, where nearly all the inhabitants | are Mohammedans, has been intro- | duced in the House of Representatives v J. P. Melencio, son-in-law of Gien Aguinaldo. Co-edication in the ele ate schoo | mentary schools of Mindanao has not | produced good results, in the opinion of Representative Melencio. 1925—PART 1.
