CHAPTER VII 



TO THE TEACHER 



For a fuller account of this Wild Bird Reservation see the chapter 

 in " Where Rolls the Oregon," called " Three-Arch Rocks Reserva- 

 tion." Bring out in your reading the point I wished to make, namely 

 that these great reservations of State and Federal Government are 

 not only to preserve bird and animal life, but also to preserve nature 

 a portion of the earth wild and primitive and thrilling, against 

 the constant encroachments of civilization. Interest your pupils in 

 their own local parks, preserves, etc., and if they have farms or 

 wood-lots, have them post them and set them aside as their personal 

 sanctuaries for wild life.

 thirty feet wide, making the passage extremely difficult and dan- 

 gerous. 



Three-Arch Rocks Reservation : was set aside by President Roose- 

 velt. Credit for this and the other Oregon Reservations is largely 

 due to Mr. William L. Finley and the Audubon Societies.

 hind end of the body, gave them an unnatural shape reversed.
