THE VALUE OF CHARTS AND PICTURES OF BIRDS 



I am inclosing a picture of the Junior Audubon Society at Traverse, Minne- 

 sota, taken in April. Last October, we formed the club and have had a meeting 

 each month until school closed. At each one we studied a different bird, using 

 the leaflets. Many interesting things were learned about birds and we have all 

 enjoyed the work very much. — Caroline D. Luther, Waterville, Minn.
