are included in Part i, Water Birds). It can be pur¬ 
chased at the Government Book Supply for 65 cents 
(postage 5 cents). This little book is convenient to 
carry in the pocket when on tramps. If a copy of 
Francis Bain’s Birds of Prince Edwvid Island can be 
discovered it will be found useful and interesting. The 
standard bird book for a reference is Chapman’s Hand¬ 
book of Birds of Eastern North America , Price $3.65. 
Reed’s Color Key to North American Birds , price $2.50, 
is also a good reference book. Besides these there are 
innumerable story and other books, such as Bailey’s 
Birds through an Opera Glass, 75 cts., Wiggin’s The 
Birds' Christmas Carol, price 50 cts., Miller First Book 
of Birds and Bird Ways, 60 cts. each, Burroughs’ Bird 
Stories, 60 cts., Blanchan’s Bird Neighbors, $2.00, Cor¬ 
nish’s Nature Study Lessons: Bird Studies, $1.00, Mc- 
Clement’s The New Canadian Bird Book for School and

For field work for the teacher’s own use a pair of 
field glasses or opera glasses will be found very useful. 
And if one intends to make extensive studies of birds, 
glasses are indispensable. The prices of these range 
from $5.00 up. 
The Audubon Society. —Teachers will do well to 
take advantage of the splendid help offered by the 
National Association of Audubon Societies, 1974 Broad¬ 
way, New York. This organization is international in 
its services ; it offers the same privileges to Canadian 
schools as to schools in the United States. If ten 
pupils paying a fee of 10 cents each year, can be organ¬ 
ized in a school, they may be formed into a Junior 
Audubon Class under the Association. For the $1.00 
remitted to headquarters each pupil will receive an 
Audubon Button and a set of ten colored pictures, with 
descriptive leaflets, together with ten outline drawings 
of birds for pupils to fill in with colors. In addition 
the school will receive the association bi-monthly mag¬ 
azine Bird Lore for a year. For each additional mem¬ 
ber of the class, 10 cents should be remitted. It is 
needless to say that this does not cover the cost of the 
material furnished. The association has endowments 
which have enabled it, in the past few years to carry on 
a splendid educational work on behalf of bird life. 
Their work with the schools is truly constructive. Be¬ 
sides this help to the schools, the Association sells bird 
study supplies such as colored pictures, books, lantern 
slides, field glasses and charts. The three Audubon 
Bird Charts sold at $1.50 each are deserving of a place
