Third Annual Report of the Audubon So
ciety of Vermont.


During the past year the Audubon So
ciety has endeavored to form branch So
cieties in various parts of the state
with notable success in some towns. So
cieties have been organized in Castleton,
Proctor, Essex Junction and Springfield
We had previously organized societies in
Putney and Willamsville. Our three trav-
cling libraries have been in circulation
in several towns during the year, and we
have received appreciative letters from
the teachers who have had the use of
them in their schools. One teacher writes:
Before these books We're placed in the
hands of teachers and pupils there was
practically no interest in the subject of
birds on the part of either Now there is
no lack of interest in the community. 1t
scarcely seems possible that so much
could have been learned in so short a
time" In our own town, while there has
been little organized work DONE there
has been much individual work. and
stimulus given to bird study and pr@tec-
tion. Many of our citizens are interested
in feeding our birds through the winter
months, and it is pleasant to record that
several of the teachers in our public
schools have placed shelves outside the
school windows for the benefit of the birds
who come there for their daily lunch, thus
pleasing and interesting the children who
watch them. The educational leaflets
published by the national committee have
been bought and distributed. A COPY of
Bird Lore has been placed on the table in
the reading room of the public library.
Our society has contributed $25 to the ma
tional committee to aid in its work of
bird protection. We have bought a lam
tern and hope to secure a slide necessary
for travelling lecture the coming year
We are much indebted to Rev VIM. w
Lord of Boston for work in the summer
schools held for teachers His lectures
were received with great appreciation and
enthusiasm.

A few weeks ago we spoke OF
the custom of one little boy who
always invited several Of his UNI
fortunate school mates to take
Thanksgiving dinner with him.
As a result of that item at least
a dozen little chaps were invited
to good dinners. who would other
wise have gone hungry. One little
fellow invited a colored boy to
Thanksgiving dinner with him.
Promptly on time he came, his
white waste stiff with starch, his
face shining from anticipated
pleasure mixed with soap and
water, his kinky head brushed as
never before, and the whites of
his eyes rolling at the sight of
turkey and filings.
That little boy will remember
his thanksgiving dinner for years
to come. 1t wasn't much to do
for him, but it was a great deal
to him.
Why not make some child
happy on Christmas? You don't
know whom to invite? Your
child does. Give your boy or
girl permission to invite a poor
school mate to Christmas diuner.

GOOD ROADS,.

Every year this county has sew
eral thousand dollars for road
purposes. Every year the money
is dribbled out among the various
subdivisions of the county, a lit
tie here and a little thele. There
is no law which compels such
action, and there is very little
result obtained. Would it not be
better to use the money to build
a few miles of permanently good
road than to build many miles of
poor road? Why not take half
the money to build enduring
roads over the bottoms and next
year build permanently good
roads ir other locations until we
have the entire county traverSed
with such highways? At the
end of ten years such a system
will produce something for the
money, while under the present
system the result is but a temper
airy improvement. If we should

Of the issues of this election will
BE- the admission of the rural tele-
