Report of the President 335 



The educational etTort of E. H. Forbush, General Agent for New England, 

 is well known by all who follow the activities of bird-protection in this country. 

 During the summer your President had the pleasure of visiting with him the 

 various Gull and Tern colonies along the Massachusetts coast, which, under 

 his watchful eye, ha\e prospered for so many years. 



Winthrop Packard, Agent for the state of Massachusetts, from his head- 

 cjuarters at 66 Xewbury Street, Boston, has been energetic and effective, as 

 usual, in all the phases of the Association's endeavor within his territory. 



The work of William L. Finley, Agent for the Pacific Coast States, has 

 been largely in the field of making and producing additions to his remarkable 

 series of motion pictures of wild bird life studies, chiefly in California and 

 Oregon. One hundred and eighty of his films, representing nine subjects, 

 ha^ e been in constant circulation in the moving-picture theatres throughout 

 the country. 



Herbert K. Job's work in applied ornithology has continued in the dis- 

 semination of information regarding the propagation of birds by artificial 

 methods. He has done much lecturing and for several weeks the past summer 

 was engaged in making still and motion pictures of wild birds in Connecticut, 

 Maine, and eastern Canada. 



Arthur H. Norton, Field Agent for ]\Iaine, had much to occupy his time in 

 combating adverse legislation at the capital of his state, and, in cooperation 

 with state and Federal authorities, inspecting the great sea-bird colonies 

 guarded by this Association along that rocky coast. 



Dr. Eugene Swope, Field Agent for Ohio, enjoyed the greater part of his 

 sabbatical year studying the l^ird-life of Florida. He is again engaged in his 

 regular duties in Ohio. 



Miss Frances A. Hurd, in Connecticut, who for a time was inactive in the 

 Audubon work because of the temporary scarcity of funds in the Junior De- 

 partment, recently took up active duties again in her field of effort. 



Mrs. Mary S. Sage spent the entire year lecturing on Long Island, in co- 

 operation with the Bird Club of Long Island. The reports received would 

 seem to indicate that there is hardly a school building on the entire island 

 which has not been visited by her Ford coupe. 



Miss Katherine H. Stuart represented the Association in conducting a 

 course in bird-study at the Summer School at the University of Virginia, and 

 the same work was carried forward by Miss Edna L. Johnson at the University 

 of Colorado. 



Reports of some of these representatives have been made and will 

 be published with this general report. The work of these various agents 

 should never be underestimated. I wish it were possible in this con- 

 nection also to enumerate the scores of volunteer workers, who, throughout 

 the country, so greatly aid in spreading the principles for which the Audubon 

 Societv stands.
