EXTENSION OF THE WORK 



I. During the two months that the Brush Hill Bird 

 Club exhibit was open, we had requests for the entire 

 exhibition from the following: Canton Bird Club, 

 Quincy Woman's Club, Dorchester Woman's Club, 

 Brookline Bird Club, the Children's Museum, Jamaica 

 Plain, and the Middlesex Sportsman's Club of Arlington. 

 It was with regret that we were obliged to refuse these 

 requests. The fact was that our chief feature, "Nature's 

 Method of Feeding the Birds" was so dried up in eight 

 weeks that it was falling to pieces and could not be 

 moved. Our refusal to send our exhibition about was 

 coupled with an offer to aid others in every way possible, 

 which we did by loaning objects and giving advice 

 from our own experiences. 



II. The extension of the work for bird conservation 

 following our exhibit was shown by exhibitions in 

 Canton, Brookline, Nahant, the Children's Museum, 

 and a special circular issued by the Newton Highlands 

 Improvement Association, all dealing with Bird Con- 

 servation. 



III. On February 22, 1914, Mr. Winthrop Packard, 

 Secretary of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, gave 

 a lecture under the auspices of the Conservation Com- 

 mittee of the Milton Woman's Club. This was an 

 open meeting to which parents of the school children 

 were invited and co-operated in an interesting way with 

 the work of the Bird Club. It was a great success.
