INDIANA AUDUBON SOCIETY 



This has been an exceptionally good \x-ar 

 for our Society. Our membership has quad- 

 rupled and the interest in bird-protection 

 and-conser\-ation Is \'er\' marked throughout 

 the state. 



Our Society published a spring bulletin 

 and now has ready for printing a fall bulletin. 

 We are also issuing, in cooperation with the 

 Department of Education, an outline of bird- 

 stud)' for public schools jjrepared bj^ Mhs 

 Rousseau McClellan, Super\'isor of Nature 

 Stud)' of the Indianapolis schools. This 

 bulletin is to be sent out by the Department 

 of Education to ever)' teacher in the state. 

 We feel that it will be of great practical value 

 to teachers, as it not onl)' gixes them detailed 

 instructions as to how to organize their 

 classes for bird-study, but is also a manual of 

 how to conduct their classes. It is the purpose 

 of the Societ)' to encourage and stimulate bird- 

 • stud)' in the public schools, and we expect 

 large results from the work thus undertaken. 



It is with genuine sadness that we record 



the death of our belo\'e<l president emeritus, 

 William \\'ats(jn \\'oolen, which occurred 

 March 26, 1921. Our Society joined with the 

 .\cademy of Science and the Indiana Nature 

 Study Club in a joint memorial meeting at 

 Indianapolis, May 20 to 22. We greatly miss 

 his counsel and advice. His presence was 

 always a benediction. He died full of honor, 

 love, and esteem of his fellow men and the 

 abundant admiration of nature-lovers. His 

 enthusiastic lo\'e of the birds and the out- 

 of-doors will be a continual inspiration to our 

 Societ)'. 



We lia\'e alread)' ap|xjinted a c<;mmittee U) 

 arrange the details of our annual meeting 

 next Ma)'. The meeting will probabl)' l>e at 

 Indianapolis, and a program of unusual 

 interest is being arranged, which will im- 

 doubtedl)' guarantee a large attendance. Our 

 Societ)' is planning to accomplish greater 

 things during the coming )'ear than it has 

 e\'er heretofore attempted. — Fkank C,

CONSCIENCE MONEY 



Dear Mr. Pearson: Several years ago I 

 i.'ought a hat and let m)' milliner trim it 

 according to her own taste. She used a small 

 Heron .\igrette with other trimming. I knew 

 nothing about them at that time, but since I 

 learned the sad stor)- of the Aigrettes the 

 thought of that hat has been a painful one, 



and the word Aigrette always brings to mind 

 my own offense. 



"I paid $5 for thatAigrette. Indx^ed fiiw! 



the same amount. I hope it may save an 

 Aigrette and at the same time ease a con- 

 sciencethat haslong been troubled." — f Signed ;
