Our aim- 

 Is to give only matter that will interest 

 the practical bird student, in these columns we 

 shall denounce the wholesale destruction of birds 

 for any purpose. We shall advocate protection 

 by state legislation, the collection of specimens 

 for scientific purposes, and the exposure of fraud 

 in connection with the sale of sptci.nens. 

 Thus is our position defined, we hope to have the 

 opinions of our readers at a)l times, it will be the 

 policy of the paper to try and please everyone.

Notes- 

 Beginning with the next issue we shall 

 publish a page devoted to field work, we desire 

 notes of this nature from all active collectors.
