38 THE AUDUBON BULLETIN 



It would seem that any state desiring to advance most rapidly in 

 matters of this kind should keep in close touch with the U. S. Forest 

 Service and this is the idea in Illinois at the present time. This 

 means, however, that to get the benefit of such assistance and cooperation, 

 the state must do as much as possible itself in securing appropriations and 

 building up a safe and sane forestry sentiment. This means education of 

 the public in forestry matters, in which all clubs with conservation depart- 

 ments can be very useful, since they can disseminate such information.

 cember 18, 1920, to January 18, 1921. Programs of particular interest 

 to children are planned for Saturday afternoons during the month at three

The exhibit of the Chicago Chapter last year was a tremendous suc- 

 cess and the interest aroused in the exhibit carried over into other cities 

 of Illinois. The Directors of the Art Institute were so favorably impressed 

 that they offered the Chapter gallery space greatly in excess of that used 

 last year and granted an extension of time for the exhibit to a month. The 

 lectures and programs are to be open to everyone interested.
