Our thanks are extended to 

 the U. S. Bureau of Biological 

 Survey and W. L. McAtee of 

 that Bureau, in particular, for 

 permission to quote freely from 

 their publications, and to the 

 many Golf Clubs and bird-lovers 

 the country over who have of- 

 fered valuable suggestions. 



The creation of a bird-sanc- 

 tuary by those who are the lead- 

 ers in thought and enterprise is bound to have a most beneficial 

 influence upon the local community. The child follows the 

 customs of his elders, and the teacher looks to the foremost 

 citizens for guidance. The youngster who grows up with a love 

 of birds in his heart has an untold resource to draw upon as he 

 matures. If in his manual training at school he learns to build 

 bird-houses and do his bit toward the conservation of wild life, 

 he is on the road to becoming a useful citizen. His attitude 

 toward such enterprises will be largely influenced by those 

 whom the community considers its leaders — and most of them 

 play Golf.
