46 THE AUDUBON BULLETIN 



this work. The co-operation of the Superintendent of Schools and of each 

 of the Principals has been promised. The other special task referred to is 

 concerned with the incorporation into a bird sanctuary of a portion of the 

 "Waukegan Flats" and of the wooded ridges overlooking the Flats. This 

 is an unusually interesting beach-plain area which is bordered by low sand 

 dunes and corrugated by sand ridges which represent bar deposits left by 

 the ancient glacial Lake Chicago. Here is a marsh and prairie flora com- 

 ing right up to a sandy area dotted with pines, all of this within easy reach 

 of the city. The Waukegan Bird Club is fortunately situated. 



WELD ON : Miss Margaret Isenhour, an enthusiastic teacher of 

 Weldon, is tireless in her efforts to encourage bird and nature study 

 among her pupils. She has borrowed one of the traveling libraries of 

 bird books, and one of the sets of color prints of one hundred Illinois 

 birds from the Society. She secured a duplicate set of the color prints, 

 which were mounted by her energetic pupils and herself, for the perma- 

 nent use of her school. An Arbor and Bird Day program and exhibi- 

 tion was given in October, for which a small admission fee was charged. 

 Enough money was realized to buy a new Victrola for the school, and 

 they secured with it a number of good bird song records.
