I watched him for a long time and repeated his notes after him. Soon I 

 was called, and had to go in and leave my little friend picking away on the 

 walnut tree. Saturday, January 2, 1915, when I went out I could not see him, 

 but I feel sure he will come back soon and get some peanuts and suet.— SARvm

[The writer of this interesting experiment in attracting birds about the home is a 

 "little girl of the age of eleven years." She writes: "I love birds and have a bird-club 

 to protect the birds. My club's name is the 'Protectors of Feathered Friends' We have 

 a meeting once a month to study the birds. I hope to be a naturalist when I grow up." 

 Here again is the spirit of the true Nature-lover. — -A. H. W.] 



AN ACKNOW^LEDGMENT OF A PETER PAN BIRD STAND 



The School Department wishes to acknowledge the gift of a simple but 

 very useful device for feeding or giving water to birds. To a Bessemer steel 

 rod is attached a cup which is securely riveted to the rod, the entire device 

 being painted waterproof green. The essential features of this stand are the 

 convenience with which it may be moved from place to place, the absence of 

 any complicated mechanism and its durability. For further particulars, send 

 to C. M. Perry, Ridgefield, Connecticut.
