MAKING BIRD SANCTUARIES 



been built and equipped a small museum of Natural 

 History, unique in its good taste and usefulness. 



Cemeteries as Bird Sanctuaries. — The interest in 

 the subject of bird sanctuaries is growing every day; 

 in fact, all America is now planning new homes for her 

 birds — homes where they may live with unrestricted 

 freedom, where food and lodging in abundance, and 

 of the best, will be supplied, where bathing-pools will be 

 at their service, where blossoming trees will welcome 

 them in the spring and fields of grain in the fall, 

 quiet places where these privileges will bring to the 

 birds much joy and contentment. Throughout this 

 country there should be a concerted effort to convert 

 the cemeteries, the homes of our friends who have 

 gone away, into sanctuaries for the bird life of this 

 land. And what isolated spots could be more wel- 

 come to the birds than these places that hold so 

 many sad memories for human beings?

 to us of the Resurrection than the cemeteries of our 

 land. In them we should hear inspiring bird songs,
