ENDOWED COWS
A class of pupils in the sixth grade at a school at Mount Vernon (New York State) has written a letter to the park commissioner of Westchester County thanking him for the swimming and picnic places his board had provided. They ask whether he can supply them with a farm or a satisfactory substitute where 'our school bus could take us to see chickens and cows and maybe a sheep and a goat and some pigs and ducks and maybe some geese and all the things we read about in our reading book. The class spokesman adds that she has seen a cow but never a live pig (says the Plain Dealer, of Clevelan, Ohio). '
Possibly it would be wise for the far-sighted Metropolitan Park Board to see that some of the farms still to be found in its domains shall be preserved in full farm activity. An endowed cow is relatively inexpensive, and it may produce joy for youngsters as well as a supply of marketable milk.
