TRAVELLING LECTURES 



Our three Travelling Lectures with text and stereopticon slides still 

 continue to be popular, and as they are becoming better known we are 

 having more requests for their use. Our additional list of nearly four 

 hundred slides is also frequently used by lecturers who wish to relate their 

 own personal experiences. Sixty localities have used these slides, an in- 

 crease of twenty-five localities over last year. This is indeed encouraging. 



LOCAL SECRETARIES 



The Directors of the Society wish to express their thanks to the Local 

 Secretaries, now numbering 115, who are doing good work for the cause 

 by spreading the gospel of bird protection in that number of different 

 localities throughout the State. The Society would be very glad to hear 

 of others interested in birds who would be willing to serve as Local Secre- 

 taries in communities where we have at present no representative. 



NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AUDUBON SOCIETIES 



Throughout the year the Society has been in close touch with the 

 National Association and has been glad to help in any way possible in its 

 good work throughout the country. We feel that in its newly elected 

 President, Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, it has an able and energetic executive 

 in whom all bird protectionists have the utmost confidence. We greatly 

 appreciate the good work which this Society is doing in a large way for 

 bird protection and the advice and encouragement which it gives to so many 

 affiliated societies. Very many of our home Society members are also 

 members of the National Association, and the work which both Societies 

 do is thus doubly assisted. 



MOTION PICTURES 



During the year the Society's two-reel motion picture "The Birds of 

 Killingworth" has been placed in charge of the Community Motion Pictures, 

 46 W. 24th Street, New York City, which has contracted for its exhibition 

 throughout the country and to which application should be made for its 

 use. This film is very attractive as well as instructive. Its use is steadily 

 increasing. The Society has one print which may be obtained for special 

 purposes on application at the office. 



THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIVE PLANTS 



This Society maintains at the Audubon Society office a stock of its 

 valuable leaflets on the conservation of our wild flowers and ferns. It is 

 always glad to supply members of the Audubon Society with sets for per- 

 sonal use or distribution. It contributes annually to the work of the Audu- 

 bon Society and shares with us the privileges of the Moose Hill Bird Sanc- 

 tuary, where many rare and beautiful wild flowers may be seen in season. 



CHECK-LISTS 



In the past three years the Society has distributed free 5000 of its 

 Check-Lists of birds to members and others interested. We feel that that 

 number of people have thus been encouraged to watch and list the birds 

 seen throughout the year. This service will be continued and anyone who 

 feels that a specially large or valuable list has been obtained is invited to 

 send it in for consideration and possible publication in the Bulletin.
