The Boy Scouts of Washington had their attention directed to 

 the District of Columbia faunal exhibit in the Museum by a series 

 of six lectures, on Friday evenings — five weekly, beginning Jan- 

 uary 4, and one on March 14 — so planned as to reach the various 

 troops on the several divisions of the District of Columbia Council. 

 At these meetings Dr. Paul Bartsch instructed the scouts how to 

 attract birds to their homes by placing nesting boxes and feeding 

 tables and by furnishing the birds with water, the most needed of 

 all the bird requirements in our larger cities. The scoutmasters of! 

 the Boy Scouts of America met in room 42^L3 on Wednesday eve- 

 ning December 5, when they had use of the stereopticon. 



The Girl Scouts Association of the District of Columbia had the 

 auditorium for two illustrated lectures. On the afternoon of Feb- 

 ruary 2, 1924, Dr. Paul Bartsch spoke on " Birds of the District of 

 Columbia," and on the afternoon of February 23, Mrs. Charles D. 

 Walcott lectured on " Wild Flowers."
