More Membership 
The Wisconsin Audubon Society lias 
done much effective work in the state, 
but we must press on to greater attain¬ 
ments. We must strive to increase the 
real interest of every citizen in the 
birds. We must try to make the great 
majority appreciate more fully the value 
of the birds, especially their aesthetic 
value. In order that we can do this, we 
must have the means to increase our 
sphere of effective action. 
In general, an increase over a small 
output does not entail an increase in ex¬ 
penditure in the same ratio. If we can 
increase the membership of our society, 
we will increase its efficiency. Tn the 
first place, the society will be brought 
in touch with more localities and can in 
that way exert its influence in places and 
situations which it does not now reach. 
By an increase in membership, we hope 
to' find ourselves so situated that we will 
be able to increase the number of pages 
in each issue of “By the Wayside” and 
to improve it by more liberal use of il¬ 
lustrations ; we hope to be able to print 
a series of bulletins and leaflets deah’ng 
with specific subjects. 
Therefore, we exhort our readers to 
do their best to secure new members 
for the society!

consin Audubon Society, at their last 
meeting, adopted the following regula¬ 
tions governing membership in that so¬ 
ciety:
