 Elementary Schools, Watchers to safeguard rare 

 birds. Educational leaflets and lectures, and is now 

 engaged in an earnest endeavour to stop the destruction 

 of Sea-birds caused by waste oil discharged into the 

 sea, and to preserve Wild Birds from extermination 

 at the hands of Plume-hunters, Bird-catchers, and 

 ruthless Egg-collectors. 



The R.S.P.B . has framed and obtained Five important 

 Acts for the Protection of Wild Birds in the United 

 Kingdom, and has helped to secure many County 

 Council Orders. 



The R.S.P.B. facilitates arrangements for Bird 

 Lectures, Meetings, and Entertainments, by lending 

 Lantern Slides (from its collection of 1,000), typed 

 Lectures and suitable Songs. 



Birds have so many foes that they need the help 

 of generous and courageous friends 



Any person interested in promoting the objects of the 

 Society, and willing to abide by the rule to refrain 

 from wearing the feathers of Wild Birds, except those 

 of the Ostrich, and of birds killed for food, is therefore 

 cordially invited to become a Fellow, by subscribing 

 an annual sum of not less than one guinea, or a 

 Member by an annual subscription of not less than 

 five shillings.
