POINTERS 



It is the desire of the Bird Club to issue its future Bulletins in 

 March. In order to do this papers, reports and notes should be sent 

 to the editor promptly. 



Each one reading this issue is requested to do something definite 

 for the 1915 Bulletin. 



By buying an extra copy or two of the Bulletin (price 10c. each) 

 and presenting to some library, school or bird lover, the work of the 

 Club may be advertised. 



The "section plan" may be made a live issue if every member of 

 a group shows enthusiasm. For "section plan" and "groups" see 1913 

 Bulletin.
