REPORT OF JUNIOR AUDUBON CLASSES 



With the ending of the world war and 

 the gradual tendency of the country to re- 

 turn to normal, the interest in the organ- 

 ization of Junor Audubon Societies began 

 to increase. Toward the close of the school- 

 year, Junior memberships were pouring 

 into the home office often at the rate of 

 10,000 a week. To the delight of the office 

 force the mails began to assume somewhat 

 their pre-war appearance. 



Another year there should be a very 

 large enrollment, as the calls on the school- 

 children for contributions to the Red 

 Cross, War Savings Stamps, and numerous 

 other activities incident to the war will 

 undoubtedly be less than during the past 

 two years. 



Hundreds of letters received from teach- 

 ers and pupils give evidence of the vast 

 influence that the Junior Audubon So- 

 cieties are today exerting in the United 

 States and Canada. Scores of communi- 

 ties have been aroused, almost to fever 

 heat, on the subject of constructing and 

 erecting bird-boxes, giving bird-exhibits, 

 bird-programs, or in reporting violations 

 of the game-laws. Many of the Juniors 

 serve as volunteer deputy game-wardens, 

 and are constantly on the lookout for 



(2 



hunters who illegally shoot birds. In hun- 

 dreds of local newspapers the progress of 

 the local Junior work has been scheduled 

 and commented upon. 



If all the phases of the National Associa- 

 tion's activities had to be abandoned but 

 one, it is very probable that the responsible 

 officials would vote to maintain the Junior 

 work as the one most important feature. 



The following table shows the number 

 of Junior classes formed and the enroll- 

 ment of the Junior members:
