about them Under present conditions birds are about the only wild creatures readily found Their songs, flight, NveLness, colors and habits all spe- ciaIly attract The bird is thus the best means of beginning q lifelong in terest Ill things outdoors. Simple studies Of birds should be therefore introduced ill the youngest grades, and not postponed to high school, when tastes and habits are largely formed.
 The old objection of d crowded cur rlculum does not hold. If nature is now crowded out, so much the worse for the curriculum. The older systems devoted nearly all attention 10 studies of mankind and his ideas or languages
 and sent out children ignorant of the world in which they lived-a mistake now being corrected. The outdoor studies instead of being a burden
 prove a rest and diversion and can be worked in as reading or English exer- cises without loss of time. A few odd minutes now and then devoted to birds. flowers, weather and other outdoor subjects would be most wisely spent
 Many states are now requiring such things, Illinois has a law requiring bird study and kindness to animals to be taught for at leat half an hour each week, under penalty for neglect. The state board of education of New York gives by name certain kinds of birds which must be studied. This

BIRDS STUDIED IN SCHOOLS. A Growing Educational Movement-lts Effects-State Ornithologist's Letter for December.

If every school in Connecticut will fall into line with the growing modern educational movement which tries to arouse in children a love for outdoor nature and a friendly interest in birds and other harmless and useful wild creatures, the next decade will witness a wonderful uplift in public sentiment and the securing of long-desired economic results.
 For one thing, we should have vol ume of well informed public sentiment which wolId make impossible the traffic in birds for millinery purposes, which is rapidly exterminating many of our most valuable species. Proper legislation for the regulation of hunt ing and the protection of birds and game would be maintained without the present struggle in each leg-isla tive session against the flood of selfish or reactionary measures. The general sentiment would be for the protection of birds, which would result dn increas-
