SUMMER COURSES IN BIRD-STUDY 



In the last issue of Bird-Lore an 

 announcement was made that the National 

 Association of Audubon Societies would, 

 this year, cooperate with various educa- 

 tional institutions in providing courses 

 of bird-study for teachers and others who 

 may be interested in receiving instruc- 

 tion in this useful and pleasing branch of 

 natural history. This announcement has 

 brought forth a surprising number of 

 requests for permission to study under 

 these courses, and many letters of inquiry 

 for further information have been received. 



As Bird-Lore goes to press, we have 

 made the following definite arrangements 

 for bird-courses to be given during the 

 present summer under the auspices of 

 this Association. Still others may pos- 

 sibly be arranged:
