rights, if we are to believe the 'Review,' 

 are being violated, they have no more right 

 to encourage a traffic which is speedily 

 bringing to extinction one of nature's most 

 beautiful creatures than they have a right to 

 commit any other wanton depredation which 

 will rob those who come after us of their 

 heritage in nature. 



And we suggest that no more fitting term 

 can be applied to the bunch of aigrettes 

 which apparently women can be prevented 

 from wearing, not by an appeal to their sym- 

 pathies and alleged tender-heartedness, but 

 only by the strong arm of the law, than to 

 designate them the White Badge of Cruelty .

Connecticut 



The Connecticut Audubon Society has 

 continued its work this year along educa- 

 tional lines, through the public schools 

 mostly. We have added one thousand and 

 sixteen new members to our number, the 

 larger proportion of these being associate 

 members, for children who sign a pledge not 

 to harm birds, but do not pay a fee or re- 

 ceive a certificate. We have added ten new 

 libraries to our numbers for circulation 

 through the Board of Education. Instead cf 

 buying new bird-charts for the schools, we 

 have pasted bird and nature pictures, about 

 fifteen hundred of them, on heavy mounts, 

 and they were arranged into portfolios by the
