RESULTS OF JUNIOR CLUB ORGANIZATION 



When the fiscal year of the Junior Depart- 

 ment of the Association closed on June i, 

 1922, it was found that considerably more 

 than 200,000 children had been enrolled in 

 the bird-work the past year. It is a pleasure 

 to announce that through the generosity of 

 the anonymous donor who has made it 

 possible to build up this great system of 

 primary educational work in bird-study, the 

 efforts will be continued another year. As 

 usual, a different set of birds will be studied. 

 The coming year special attention will be 

 given to the following: Flicker, Blue Jay, 

 Bluebird, Song Sparrow, Robin, and Cat- 

 bird. Leaflets and colored pictures on these 

 subjects will be supplied to all Junior 

 members. 



The widespread interest in this important 

 phase of wild-life protection is manifested 

 by the territory covered in the organization 

 of Clubs throughout the United States and 

 Canada. A fuller account of the accom- 

 plishments in the Junior work the past year 

 will be published later in the annual report 

 of the Association.
