p To be able to distinguish a bird by its
call alone is an art in itself, yet many Of
the normal girls have this down to per-
lection. The homes Of the birds are
also an interesting part of the work
They learn to classify those that are
built OF ordinary twigs and the more
particular forms that are made into neat
pockets or plastered with mud to give
a more finished appearance. Ii is neces-
Sary to know the homes that are found
IN the high trees from those that build
in low bushes or the ground.
By locating the nests of the numerous
birds close watch is kept for the oc-
cupants and in this way the students OBJ
tain a near view of the birds and learn
a great many of their habits.
Those who have finished their normal
work are welcome to visit the lodge and
renew acquaintances at any time. In
this way a spirit of friendship and good
fellowship is developed The new home
has done a great deal TO arouse
the girls to the pleasures and benefits
Of few hours away from the activity
and hustle of their every day lives. At
this nature camp, they are able to throw
off their cares and by lingering amid
the creatures of the wild, they obtain
that renewal Of energy and brightness Of
spirit that comes after an intimate COM
