P. 357 ‘mwmw | / â€" AT FIELD MUSEUM OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS Plant and Animal Life of This Region Reaching Back to Beginning Now Being > Reconstructed Plant and animal life and geologâ€" ical development in the midâ€"western United States from the Ordovician period, 480 million years ago, to the l"ynnnylvunh (coal age), 25 million years past, are being reconstructed at the Field Museum, in Chicago, from the William W. Borden geologâ€" ical collections, a recent gift to the museum, by S. K. Roy, assistant in invertebrate paleontology. Roy began a complete classificaâ€" tion and study of 30,000 specimens which were preserited to the instituâ€" tion by Mrs. George W. Robb, widow of the late Mr. Borden, of Borden, Ind. The collection, the largest nuâ€" merically of its kind ever received by the museum, also has been found to be one of the most representative. Part of it has been placed on exhibiâ€" tion in Stanley Field hall. » Many Specimens Listed The fossils consist mostly of. inâ€" vertebrate animals (without backâ€" bones) and plants of the eras menâ€" tioned. The great majority are from Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, but there are also specimens from every part of the world. Borden was interâ€" ested, chiefly in invertebrate fossils in the Middle West, which, owing to industrial ‘development are becoming less and less available to science. "The fossils show, geographically," Roy said, "that in the Middle West, in the period when the rockâ€"like subâ€" stances were living organisms, was an aera of subâ€"tropical coral seas. The country was then in a great ‘marine age,‘ and the fossils in the collection, are, therefore, all marine. Many of the forms of different types of life are radically unlike those of the same types today. Some of them are extinct. "The collection is replete with criâ€" noids, commonly known as ‘sea lilâ€" lies,‘ brachopoda, a twoâ€"valve shell resembling a clam on the outgide, but totally different inside; pelocypods, the ancestors and relatives of the modernâ€"day snails, and the trilobites of the crustacean line which are now extinet. "One of the most unusual marine animals that swam . over the three states was the cephaled, the foreâ€" runner of the nautilus and a‘ close relative to the devilfish. Unlike the specimens of today this animal was very heavily armored. Plant Life Shown s "The fossils of plant life in the colâ€" lection are largely from Illinois. They comprise the vegetation from which coal was formed in the Pennsylvania age. Most unusual to the layman is the fact that ferns were then as big as trees and the calamites from which sixâ€"inchâ€"high horsetails _ descended were trees. "Corals which grow in the shallow warm water indicated a subâ€"tropical climate and were different from the corals of today. There were also a greater number of varieties. Sponges also grew profusely in these seas. "Fossilized fish fragments in the collection include types that are also different from those of today and some that have entirely disappeared Mostly they comprise the ancestors of the sharks, garfish and suckers." As soon as the Borden collection is classified, additional parts of it will be placed on exhibition in. the geological rooms of the institué'pn.' 4 : A gain in membership of the Amerâ€" ican Legion Auxiliary of 1.8 per cent for |the year 1925 over last (yehir‘s membership was shown when the naâ€" tional auditor‘s books were closed on September 5, according to Miss Bess Wetherholt, national secretary. The gain in membership will reach 2 per cent by national convention time, October 5, Miss Wetherholt deâ€" clared. pointing out that since 1922 time, Oc clared, | she has national nually 0 ship of ship of than 20 mately LEGION AUXILIARY )‘ MEMBERSHIP GAINS time, October 5, Miss Wetherholt deâ€" elared, pointing out that since 1922 she has been able to report at the national convention a steady gain anâ€" nually of 2 per cent in the memberâ€" ship of the Auxiliary. The memberâ€" ship of the auxiliary is now more than 205,000, divided among approxiâ€" mately 6,000 units. . In addition to the membership gain this year the auxiliary has shown an improved financial condition, as reâ€" vealed by the books of the national auditor‘s office. Among the projects financed this year by the auxiliary was the establishment of a cottage at the Legion billet at Otter Lake, Michâ€" igan, for the children of World war veterans. This was done by means of a ten cent contribution from each member of the auxiliary. The furâ€" nishing of national headquarters was financed successfully this year)by the appropriation of one dollar from each auxiliary unit. | _ _ â€" "The membership and financial Status of the auxiliary has never been better," declared Miss Wetherholt. The rah rah boys at the colleges seem very wise and sophisticated, but it is not long since they were "da da" boys sucking milk out of a bottle. of the . of the 205,000 rship will reach onal convention Wetherholt deâ€" that since 1922 o report at the steady gain anâ€" in the memberâ€" . _ The memberâ€" is now more among approxiâ€" C NO _LONGER EXPERIMENT "Our experience with the gystem of four quarters of twelve weeks each convinces me that there is a great moral gain to the pupil and the comâ€" munity in the allâ€"year school," said Mr. Adams. ‘"I believe that all comâ€" munities would find an improvement in their boys and girls and a decrease in juvenile delinquency if they adoptâ€" ed the allâ€"year school. | . Survival of Past Age "The long summer vacation is a survival of the days when most of our population lived in the country or small town. School was concentrated in the winter months so that the boys and girls could assist their farmer parents during the busy season. The summer period was not a vacation for the child. He was busy in some other kind of work; work which is not availâ€" able for the child of the city dweller. Reports From There SayTrial of This System Has Been _ 1« _ Successful; Teachers y Enthusiastic _‘ . The allâ€"year school has long, since passed the experimental stage in this community. Pupils, teachers and officials of the Loyal Order of Moose who are charged, with the education of the children, pronounce the fortyâ€" eight week school year an unqualified success and commend it to other comâ€" munities, t " Mooseheart children are sorry when school cloges for a fortnight in July and joyous when it reopens. They pity the children who can go to school only nine or ten months in the year. Mooseheart‘s sixty teachers of acaâ€" demic subjects are equally in favor of the allâ€"year school. They back up their sentiment by coming back year after year to teach 48 weeks instead of going to a school system with the short terms. Is Enthusiastic * 4 Most enthusiastic of all is Matthew P. Adams, the bachelor expert in child care who is father and mother to every one of Mooseheart‘s boys and girls. Mr. Adams had a reputaâ€" tion as a teacher and a child welfare expert before he came to Mooseheart, twelve years ago and the ‘achieveâ€" ments of his young charges have given him additional standinig in his profession. J 3 K "It is unfair to children to turn them foot loose in the city after they, have been under the inspiration of a teachâ€" er for many months, Left to their devices it is not surprising that they develop bad habits and get into trouâ€" ble. It is a wonder that more of them do not become juvenile delinquents in the face of the many temptations. For the sake of the children as well as for the community, I say give them a chance to go (to school throughout the year." There is said to be coal enough in China to heat the world for acenâ€" tury, but litle of it is being mined or marketed. It is well to realize, however, (that there will never. be any genujne coal famine. We may have strikes in this country and mines may close down, but coal is spread fairly, thick all over the world, ~and it can always be had when needed. The hardship may be acute for the moment, but it cannot long enduré.â€" Los. Angeles Times.
