Plan No. 2.
This plan is for teachers who wish
to organize a Junior Audubon Class

others. The teacher should explain
to the pupils that their object will be
to learn all t;.ey can about wild birds
and that everyone who becomes a
member will be expected to be kind
to the birds and protect them. Each
pupil enrolled will be required to pay
a fee of 10 cents each year. When ten
or more have paid their fees the
teacher will send their money to tn"

cicties 1874, Broadway, New York. and
give the name of the Audubon class

FARGO n. D. March l5.-Bird study
has come to be recognized as one OF
tho most I'M aresting and helpful lea

ment. The Audubon Societies through
out the country have been among the
most effective agencies in promoting
ana directing along practical lines the
propaganda for a better knowledge
and appreciation Of the birds by cen
tinually increasing numbers Of people.
The officers of the North Dakota Audo.
bon society have been actively at
work during the past year devising
plans for the effective organization Of
the people of North Dakota who are
or may become interested in the SUB
ject OF bird study. bird protection and
bird increase. The effort has been to
develop q plan of organization which
would give to every individual direct
the full value of their money and
at the same time give them the adj
vantages which can be secured only
through afHliation with Others who
have similar interests and are work
ing toward the accomplishment OF the
same objects. Added enthusiasm and
increased effectiveness through united
effort are THE direct results OF such
organized movements. The object has
been to reach and provide fer adults,
teachers and children in school or i'll
the community. The plans here out
lined have been Meeting with much
favor. They have been made possible
in part through the cooperation ana
assistance Of the National Association
of Audubon societies. The plans are
presented in this way in order that
they may be brought to the attention
of larger numbers of people than it
would be possible to reach through
direct correspondence.
