COOPERATIVE WORK IN OREGON 



The Oregon Fish and Game Commission 

 has been carrying on an active educational 

 campaign during the past few months 

 under the direction of our Western Field 

 Agent, William L. Finley. Prof. Charles F. 

 Hodge, formerly of Worcester, Mass., has 

 been employed jointly by the University 

 of Oregon and the Commission to devote 

 his entire time to lecturing among the 

 schools of the state. Professor Hodge has 

 not only been giving stereopticon lectures 

 upon the economic value of song-birds 

 and insect-eating birds, but also has been 

 lecturing in the schools upon the protec- 

 tion and propagation of game. The idea 

 has been to encourage children in the 

 country toward rearing quail, grouse, and 

 other game-birds, to stock the fields and 

 supply the demand for propagating pur- 

 poses. 



In order to create greater interest from 

 an educational point of view, moving- 

 picture films have been exhibited, illus- 



trating the State Game Farm, fish-hatch- 

 eries, angling, and other features of out- 

 door life. An excellent educational film 

 has been secured of school-children making 

 and putting up bird-houses. Others will 

 be taken illustrating wild birds and other 

 animals in various parts of the state, 

 especially on some of the larger wild-bird 

 refuges. 



As a result of educational work in the 

 schools, boys in some of the country school 

 districts, who were formerly accustomed 

 to kill birds at every opportunity, have 

 now become their greatest protectors, by 

 supplying food in the winter when the 

 snow is on the ground, and by furnishing 

 bird-homes in the spring. 



From the ofiice of the National Audubon 

 Association in New York, 780 Oregon 

 school-children have also been enrolled in 

 Junior Audubon classes, and by this means 

 provided with careful instruction in study 

 and bird-protection.
