Junior Audubon Class Work : Since it is feared that the 

 fact may not he generally understood, we take pleasure in stat- 

 ing that we are able to continue this work only through the 

 financial co-operation of the National Association. An even 

 greater amount of attention than heretofore was devoted to the 

 very important field of work in the schools. 421 Junior Audu- 

 bon Classes were organized in the schools of the State, with a 

 membership of 9,395, the largest membership attained in any 

 one year. The continued interest and enthusiasm of teachers 

 and pupils is attested, to some degree, by the following extracts 

 from teachers' letters : 



"Have organized a Junior Audubon Class numbering twenty- 

 two and am doing all I Cfin to get the boys and girls to protect 

 and feed the birds, also build houses for them, which they have 

 done. I also read Bird-Lore to them, and anything else that will 

 help them to do as they should, as members of the Audubon 

 Society. They also write compositions on birds and in other ways 

 do what they can." Edith Scott, Woodbridge, N. J. 



"Were the days and nights of a public school teacher not al- 

 ready overcrowded with work, I should be del'ghted to give time 

 to this work. This year's is a particularly good group — they fairly 

 swamp me in material, which they themselves find in the magazines 

 and papers, of general interest in bird life. I was able to take them, 

 one night this week, to Newark, to hear Mr. Avis. My students are 

 eighth grade, therefore have almost an adult's appreciation of bird 

 Ufe. I spend one hour a month, at least, with the Class, and just 

 as much more time as I can get." Rosalie Schumacher, South 

 Orange, N. J. 



"My children were delighted with the bird booklets and pic- 

 tures. After seeing them, six more children have decided that they 

 would like to belong." Edna M. Hardcastle, Somerville, N. J. 



"I have received the leaflets and buttons which you sent to 

 me. I thank you for your kindness and prompt attention. The 

 ch'ldren are delighted and are very eager for another lesson." Edith 

 B. DeVoe, Belleville. N. J. 



"The children were very much enthused over their leaflets and 

 I think we are going to have a very interesting Audubon Society. 

 Wishing you success in this great work." Rose I. Keys, Paterson, 



N. J. 



"Our Eighth Grade Society is taking up the work in earnest. 

 The members are putting up bird houses on their own grounds, and 

 we are making arrangements to have a Christmas tree for the
