JUNIOR AUDUBON SOCIETIES 



If this Association had never engaged in any effort for conservation other 

 than its work with children, its influence for good would still have been monu- 

 mental. Beginning with the school-year of 1910-1911, when we enrolled 

 10,595 children in bird-study classes in the southern states, this organized 

 effort has spread with astonishing rapidity to every state in the Union and many 

 of the Canadian provinces. Each year has seen a marked increase over the 

 previous year, both in numbers of clubs formed and in numbers of children 

 enrolled. The past year, 9,901 such Junior groups were formed with a total 

 paid membership of 205,196; this is an increase of more than 53,000 over the 

 number enrolled the year before. Owing to the unusually advantageous print- 

 ing-contracts we made last year it was possible to supply this great number of 

 children. The cost of paper has sharply risen of late, and it is doubtful if, with 

 the funds at our disposal, this record can be duphcated another year. It may 

 be interesting to record here that since the inception of this phase of our work 

 six years ago, a total of 29,052 Junior Audubon Clubs has been formed, and 

 that 584,254 children as regular Junior members have been instructed in the 

 principles of the Audubon Society. 



These children have been taught to know the common birds about them, 

 have learned much of the economic and esthetic value of birds to mankind, 

 some of the rudiments of the laws for their protection, the methods of making
