Mrs. J. H. Knowles Of Northeast

department of the Federation, has sent
out a very interesting letter urging the
cooperation Of all club women through
the State in the endeavor to educate
the children to the love of trees, birds
and flowers. For a special work this
year the committee wishes to ask the
clubs to endorse the movement to cS-
tabllsh a bird study station on one of
the public reservations on Mount Des-
ert Island. She presents the argu-
ments of f. H. Forbush who advocates
this on the ground that the Mount
Desert reservation with its associated
island sanctuaries could not long re-
main an isolated work of bird prutec-
ton on this great eastern highway of
migration, hut would form the first of
a series Of permanent bird refugees
along the Atlantic coast Of the United
States. which must eventually be es-
tablished from Maine to Florida if the
people Of this country are to preserve
what yet remains of the original bird

subject at its next meeting, and then
report promptly to the conservation
department what decision is reached.
