Reports of State Societies and Bird Clubs 387 



does not show wonderful results accomplished, yet we are a live and interested 

 Club. — (Miss) Mary H. Burr, Secretary. 



Pasadena (Calif.) Audubon Society. — ^The Society continues to grow in 

 membership, as well as in varied and helpful activities. In the past year, 

 emphasis has been placed on the Society's educational value. Lectures and 

 talks on birds have been given by competent members in our public schools. 

 These have been greatly appreciated by the school authorities, who are de- 

 sirous of their continuance, and arrangements to that effect have already been 

 made for the current year. Much literature in the form of leaflets, magazines, 

 descriptive pictures, etc., have been distributed among Junior members, Boy 

 Scouts, and other young people. 



Our public aviary, so generously contributed to the city of Pasadena last 

 year, is a source of great interest to the community and can boast of many 

 fledglings during the past year. A valuable collection of lantern-slides has 

 recently been purchased from the Oregon Audubon Society, by which the 

 Society expects to learn much of the birds of the Northwest. It is planned to 

 have short illustrated talks, aided by these slides, at each of the Society's 

 meetings during the present season. Bird-walks have been regularly and 

 intelligently conducted, and have been the means of bringing into the Society 

 many new and enthusiastic workers. — (Miss) Alice W. Pitman, Secretary. 



Province of Quebec (Can.) Society for the Protection of Birds. — ^The year 

 has been marked by two outstanding facts: the increased cooperative power 

 of the Society and the greatly increased membership. This increase has proved 

 a great support, both morally and financially. The yearly public lecture was 

 given by Edward Avis, in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and was a great success. In 

 addition, Mr. Avis gave two school lectures, while a third was given in behalf 

 of the Junior membership of the Society in the Imperial Theatre — about 

 3,000 children attended. It is intended to make this exclusively children's 

 lecture an annual affair. Moving pictures were taken of the happy children leav- 

 ing the theatre after the lecture and shown in all the leading cities of Canada. 



Under the able administration of the Educational Committee, over 2,000 

 children joined the Society since the annual meeting last January, making a 

 total Junior membership of about 6,000. Eight interesting monthly lectures 

 were given during the year in the Windsor Hotel, as usual, and at their close 

 discussion was invited on all subjects relating to wild life and its conservation. 

 The speakers of the year were L. M. Terrill; I. Gammell, Principal of the 

 High School, Montreal; H. Mousley, Naturalist of Hatley, Province of Quebec; 

 Harrison F. Lewis, Federal Game Warden for Provinces of Quebec and Ontario; 

 Hoyes Lloyd, Dominion Ornithologist; Wallace H. Robb, Chairman of the 

 Society's Membership Committee; and Miss Louise Murphy, W. A. Oswald 

 and A. F. Winn, naturalist members of the Society.
