34 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [11:1— Jan., 1915 



more. Each of these members is required to pay a fee of ten cents. 

 The teacher will then send these fees to the National Association, 

 of Audubon Societies, in New York, giving the name of the Class 

 and his or her own name and address ; or in some circumstances the 

 fees are sent to a State Society. 



The Association or State Society will then forward to the teach- 

 ers for each member whose fee has been paid, a beautiful Audubon 

 button, and a set of ten colored pictures of birds (see frontispiece, 

 this number), the list of which is changed every year, and with 

 them will go outline drawings, suitable for coloring by the children, 

 and descriptive leaflets. The teacher reporting the class will also 

 receive, free of cost, for one year, the finely illustrated magazine 

 Bird-Lore, which contains many valuable suggestions for teachers. 

 Should the class then, or subsequently, be enlarged, a button and a 

 set of leaflets will be added for each new member until the end of 

 the school year. In return, it is expected that the teacher shall 

 give at least one lesson a month on the subject of birds, and that 

 the leaflets shall serve as a basis for the lessons, but experience 

 shows that usually much more than this is done. 



Full information as to the details of this plan, and a simple form 

 of organization for a Class, may be had by addressing a request to 

 the National Association. The list of ten birds to be studied this 

 year includes the brown thrasher, nuthatch, bluebird, downy 

 woodpecker, Baltimore oriole, robin, bobolink, goldfinch, song 

 sparrow and green heron. 



The Leaflets which are supplied to the children have been pre- 

 pared with extreme care, to insure not only scientific accuracy but 

 correct and graceful diction adapted to juvenile understanding, so 

 that they may be available as reading-lessons, and as safe models 

 to follow in English composition. 



Teachers reading this notice, and desiring to take advantage 

 of this offer, may collect and send in their children's fees at once, 

 and receive the material promptly ; or further printed information 

 will be furnished upon request sent to the Secretary of the Associa- 

 tion, at 1974 Broadway, New York City.
