SECTION V 
EDUCATION AND THE BIRDS 
CHAPTER X 
‘Educating Adults. — Those grown people that are 
willing to be educated can be reached by the public 
press, and by such magazines as Bird Lore, Recreation, 
Forest and Stream, and others; by the publications of 
the United States Department of Agriculture, and by 
the abundant and constantly increasing bird literature. 
The Audubon Societies, the League of American 
Sportsmen, and other societies that work for the 
preservation and appreciation of the interesting and 
the beautiful in nature, have already done much good 
work, but their membership must be very much in- 
creased. ‘To compel people desirous of joining one of 
these societies to write a letter and expend from five 
to ten cents in order to have his membership fee of 
twenty-five cents or one dollar reach the proper parties, 
is very poor business policy. In every town one or more 
book-stores and other business houses will be found 
willing to receive dues and issue membership cards. 
Display in these places the beautiful colored chart of 
twenty-six common birds, published by the Massachu- 
setts Audubon Society, and on a placard attached to the 
chart invite people to join. Ona table near the chart
