Bees and Chickens for School Children The writer has been advocating the combination of bee-keeping and poul- try raising for the school children, in his lectures at various high schools. There is a great deal in this combina- tion, for children. It gives them an excellent opportunity to occupy them- selves, and keep out of mischief. It provides an opportunity to make pin money for the time spent, and it is a combination thatshouldbe encouraged by the parents. Another item that is valuable for the school child, is deciding early in life what trade or line of work he or she wishes to follow. Selecting one's life work early affords the opportunity to make use of many things pertaining to that following. This helps to make the selected work more easy and suc- cessful. It saves wasting much time during the school years on work of little value in their chosen field later. If a child shows a leaning toward one line of work and continues to show this interest as it grows up, the parent should lend assistance in getting that boy or girl started with his or her special line of work. A child, with a few colonies of bees and some thor- oughbred fowls, can make a successful combination out of the two that will be a pleasure and a profit.
