AN ANNOUNCEMENT— SUMMER SCHOOLS 



The National Association, which, dur- 

 ing the past few years, has been rapidly 

 developing the educational phases of its 

 work, announces that it has completed 

 arrangements whereby a summer school 

 of bird-study will be offered under its 

 auspices at Cold Spring Harbor, situated 

 on Long Island Sound about thirty miles 

 from New York City. This is an extension 

 and enlargement of the courses so suc- 

 cessfully given at that place heretofore 

 by Mrs. Alice Hall Walter, in connection 

 with the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and 

 Sciences. Hereafter the two institutions 

 will cooperate in the management of the 

 school-work. Mrs. Walter, with a corps 

 of assistants sufficiently large to give 

 careful personal attention to each student, 

 will conduct intensive courses, which will 

 be of the utmost value to those who desire 

 to obtain most accurate and painstaking 

 instruction in this important field of 

 natural history. Lectures, laborator>- 

 work and field-investigations will be of :i 

 most complete character. For the preseni, 

 the number of students will be restricted 

 to twenty-five, and will be confined lo 

 those who are college graduates, or whc 

 have already acquired some working 

 knowledge of wild bird-life. The cost of 

 attending the summer school is moderate, 

 and the opportunities for splendid work 



( 



are unsurpassed. The session will be 

 held from June 30 to August 10. Students 

 will be accepted upon nomination of the 

 National Association of Audubon Socie- 

 ties, and requests for admission, or for 

 further information, may be addressed to 

 T. Gilbert Pearson, Secretary, 1974 

 Broadway, New York City. 



Other Summer Schools 



The .\ssociation has also offered to 

 cooperate financially and otherwise in 

 giving more general and elementary 

 courses in bird-study at several state 

 summer schools throughout the United 

 States. We are not yet, however, pre- 

 pared to give a list of those which will be 

 open to teachers, and all others desiring 

 to take instruction of this character, in 

 connection with other studies. A full 

 announcement may perhaps be made in 

 the May-June issue of Bird-Lore. In 

 the meantime, however, those desiring 

 information on the subject should address 

 the Secretary of the National Associa- 

 tion. 



We are hoping by means of the fore- 

 going plan to furnish opportunities for 

 many of the ten thousand Junior Audubon 

 Class secretaries to engage in systematic 

 bird-study during the coming summer.
