Bird - Lore 



generously gave us several lectures while in Wyncote visiting relatives. Dr. 

 Samuel C. Palmer, of Swarthmore College, S. F. Aaron, and Mrs. S. Louise 

 Patteson have lectured, and have been much appreciated. Excellent articles 

 on bird-life by E. H. Parry, one of our members, have for the past year appeared 

 weekly in the local newspaper. Under the auspices of the Club the local moving- 

 picture theatre presented the National Association's two-reel film, 'The Spirit 

 of Audubon.' This was seen by at least i,ooo people, and its influence was 

 immediately felt, as several other bird clubs were planned within a week. 



Several feeding-stations have been supported by the Club, and regularly 

 supplied with food which the state of Pennsylvania has helped us to buy, while 

 many of the members have endeavored to make their gardens bird-sanc- 

 tuaries. Since the organization of the Club the community has awakened to 

 the value of birds, and we believe that children instructed in bird-lore, and taught 

 to protect the birds, are going to make better citizens for this training. — 

 Esther Heacock, Corresponding Secretary.
