48o <strong>Bird</strong> - Lore<br />

generously gave us several lectures while in Wyncote visiting relatives. Dr.<br />

Samuel C. Palmer, of Swarthmore College, S. F. Aaron, and Mrs. S. Louise<br />

Patteson have lectured, and have been much appreciated. Excellent articles<br />

on bird-life by E. H. Parry, one of our members, have for the past year appeared<br />

weekly in the local newspaper. Under the auspices of the Club the local moving-<br />

picture theatre presented the National Association's two-reel film, 'The Spirit<br />

of Audubon.' This was seen by at least i,ooo people, and its influence was<br />

immediately felt, as several other bird clubs were planned within a week.<br />

Several feeding-stations have been supported by the Club, and regularly<br />

supplied with food which the state of Pennsylvania has helped us to buy, while<br />

many of the members have endeavored to make their gardens bird-sanc-<br />

tuaries. Since the organization of the Club the community has awakened to<br />

the value of birds, and we believe that children instructed in bird-<strong>lore</strong>, and taught<br />

to protect the birds, are going to make better citizens for this training.<br />
