278 <strong>Bird</strong> - Lore to send in the names of some neighbors' children, and let them come over once a week to go birding in our yard with us. More wanted to come, so that, from a little class of six kindergartners, we have grown into a class of forty-nine members. We were a <strong>Bird</strong>- Club at first. Now we are an Audubon Society. We are indebted to Dr. Wells W. Cooke, Mr. Henry W. Henshaw, Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, Mr. Frederick H. Kennard, Miss Olive Thorne Miller, Dr. Frank Chapman, and Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson for most of our book-knowledge, then to all contributors to the Educational Leaflets that the National Audubon Association has put out, and to our Government for their pamphlets. The children named their society the Sharp-Eyes Junior Audubon Society of Columbus, Ohio. They keep note-books and put down the names of the birds they see and the dates. They are very conscientious about it, too, and very few will put down a bird that they are not absolutely sure of. For example, one of my boys followed a Catbird one whole morning this spring. He gave me the description of it, adding: "He made up his whistle as he went along." I told him it was a Catbird. But because it was very early for that species, the child said he would rather not put it down, because I hadn't seen it and he wasn't sure. During the migration period we studied migration, using Mrs. Wells' article in The National Geographic Magazine as our basis. Through the winter we took up the study of birds, taking the bird's physical construction first. One lesson was on his body and organs, another on his feathers. Then the wings, tail, eyes, ears, bills, legs, feet, eggs, nests, habits, and so on, were treated in turn. Now most of the children who have attended all winter know how to classify a bird. For example, if they see a bird with a short, thick bill, they know that he feeds principally upon seeds; they can tell by the length of his wing whether he spends much time on the wing or gets his living from the ground; if he has long legs, they know that he gets his living from the water; and so on. Even now the children know which of our ordinary birds should be protected and why. They will go into the woods and fields better equipped to identify and enjoy the birds this year. Occasionally we have a special treat by hearing an outsider talk to us. One friend brought us some very interesting nests. Among them were two beautiful ones that Marsh Wrens had made, and a very curious one that had been a Chimney Swift's home. Most of the children fed the birds all winter. In our own yard we had three feeding-stations. 'Wild-Feather Inn' — our most expensive one—was taken possession of by the English Sparrows. One that we fitted up on a rustic table the Cardinals, Jays, and squirrels enjoyed. But the one from which we have had the most pleasure was just an old shellbark hickory. It always had visitors. Those that came regularly the children named. They were two Downy and two Hairy Woodpeckers, two Nuthatches, a Brown Creeper, a female Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and three Tufted Titmice. Our society has outgrown its quarters. Our pastor invited us to meet at the church. As we cannot take care of more than fifty children at a time, we will limit our actual membership to fifty and have a waiting-list. Any child who is absent for three consecutive meetings forfeits his place in the society and takes his place on the waiting-list. It may interest teachers of bird-clubs to know just how we go about our work, so I shall give a sample lesson. The Bluebird. Subject Each subject lasts for two weeks. The first week we talk it over, using our outline as a guide and discussing each topic separately. The second week the lesson is put on the board, and copied into note- books by the children. Outline for first week—facts to learn about each bird: i. Its size and beak. 2. Wings and tail. 3. Legs and toes
The Audubon Societies 279 JUNIOR AUDUBON CLASS, ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA 4. Color in winter and summer. 5. Song and call. 6. Enemies. 7. Nest, eggs, and nesting-habits. 8. Diet. g. Is it helpful or a pest? 10. Migratory. If so, to what place does it go and what route does it take? After discussing each fact, we close the lesson with Maeterlinck's 'Bluebird,' told as a story. JL'.MOR AlDlliON IL.\S> For the outline for the second week we had: i. Seven inches. Beak sharp and short. 2. Average length, tail slightly forked. 3. Short, percher; three toes in front, one toward back. 4. Female duller. Blue above, russet-orange breast, getting lighter underneath. Winter same. 5. Call, a short warble. Songs: 'Dear, dear, think
