birds. Our study in the school room at the various meetings we 

 hold is made very interesting by aid of the balopticon, with which 

 we flash bird pictures on the screen." Walter Elwood, Principal,

 the 'Hamburg Junior Audubon Society.' We organized with twenty

 joined." Alyra E. Drake, Hamburg. N. J.

"I am sending $2.00 for twenty additional members of the 

 Joseph Wood Audubon Society. The pupils were so delighted with

 soon as they have finished we will have the Society's picture taken 

 and send one to 3^ou for your Report." Florence Dickinson, Tren-

"The first meeting of the Liberty Bell Junior Audubon Class 

 was held January 19. The youngsters were delighted with the but- 

 tons. To make the little 'fellows' better acquainted, I selected the 

 colored plate of the goldfinch for the first lesson. From the pic- 

 ture they learned much and after the outline is colored, we will 

 study the leaflet. Enthusiastic children *ask' questions. Please 

 answer these two: why was the little goldfinch selected for the but- 

 ton? Last year the Liberty Bell button was a robin. The fact 

 that a different bird was used excited curiosity. I could not an.swer 

 the questions asked, nor tell why. Looking forward to the future, 

 the children wanted to know if there' were only ten pictures and 

 what we should do next year if we still wanted to be a Club. I 

 told them of a kind fellow living at Demarest, N. J., where the real 

 home of the Audubon Society was. who said he'd be glad to answer 

 any questions Fd write to him. This pleased them and their en- 

 thusiasm brought more members. One of my boys earned his fee 

 by coloring the outlines belonging to my set of leaflets. I am 

 proud of his work and he is proud of his membership.
