Editorial, 



THE PROSPECT: The outlook is decidedly good; 

 at the same time the future is not without difficulty for the 

 following reasons: The high cost of paper, printing, etc., is 

 not likely to be much easier during the present year, and while 

 these costs continue, the amount of the annual suljscription 

 does not cover the cost of Bird Notes, even in its reduced bulk. 



The deficit is not fully wiped out; but if those who have 

 not yet contributed to this end, will each send such a donation 

 as they can afford, such would suffice to clear off this liability. 



These are the only two disquieting features, and these 

 can be easily surmounted without hardship, if each individual 

 member will only do his or her part. 



As regards our Journal, the one thing lacking is the 

 slackness of a portion of the members, who need to be impor- 

 tuned to record the episodes and breeding successes that occur 

 in their aviaries. This not onlv adds to the Hon. Editor's
