in our State a total of 436 classes, with a membership of 

 9,233. That the enthusiasm of teachers and pupils for this 

 work grows, is shown by the following extracts from teachers' 

 letters : 



"The class was well pleased with the leaflets and the children 

 are very enthusiastic in their study of birds, reporting and asking 

 about many birds that they have never noticed before. They have 

 made several bird houses and spread crumbs all during the months 

 of February and March when there was so much snow on the 

 ground," Elizabeth W. Moore, Hammonton, N. J. 



"The children are delighted with the pictures and I find a 

 great amount of pleasant rivalry exists as to who shall be the 

 first one to discover the various birds as they return. I think all 

 of my associate teachers are informed concerning your work. Many 

 of them are forming classes among their pupils." Helen F. Clarke, 

 Roselle Park, N. J. 



"We have worked hard to get the total membership of the 

 school up to what it was last year, but I am pleased to say that 

 we have succeeded in getting seven more members than we had 

 last year. Our total enrollment for 1914 is 353 members. 



"Great interest has been shown in the school, many of the 

 pupils in the grades have brought enough money to help the poorer 

 children, so they can be Audubon members, too." Ina C. DeWitt, 

 Tenafly, N. J. 



"The pupils are delighted with their birds, etc., and are very 

 much interested. I trust that much good will result from it." Eliza- 

 beth Stryker, Elizabeth, N. J. 



"The children seem very much interested in studying about 

 the birds. They are building bird houses for the birds and also 

 feed them every day. They are very proud of their bird buttons." 

 Ethel L. Johnson, Garwood, N. J. 



"The children of the Second Grade have taken an unusual 

 interest, I think, in securing members. Twelve children not only 

 joined, but helped others, who were poor, by giving a few pennies 

 at a time. It was interesting to watch the list grow. One little 

 boy sold a favorite marble for two cents, that he might raise 

 Johnnie's amount from six to eight cents." Margaret M. Moore, 

 Tenafly, N. J. 



"My Third Grade scholars have become so interested in the 

 work, and with spring coming on, they have become quite anxious 

 to study more about the birds. We expect to go to the woods and
