CHILnREN AID Bird PROTECTION.

THINGS are going well with the birds is the
sage thai comes from T. Gilbert Pearson in his
annual report Of the National Association
OF Audubon Societies, given out this week.
The main, reason Mr. Pearson ascribes for the happy
condition of the feathered songsters is that working
combination has last been formed between the birds
and the children
"If this association had engaged in any line Of
conservation effort other than its work with children
says Mr. Pearson tits influence for good would still
have been monumental Beginning with the school
year Of 1901. when we enrolled 1885 children in
bird-sudy classes in the Southern States this
lied effort has spread with astonishing rapidity TO
every State the Union. Each year has marked
increase over the previous year. both in numbers OF
clubs formed and the numbers of children enrolled
The past year 99O1 such junior groups were formed
with total paid membership of 205,196. This is an
increase Of more than $4,000 over the number
rolled the year before Since the inception Of this
phase of our work six years ago total Of 28522 Jun
Tor Audubon Bird Clubs have been formed and 5720Sl
children as regular junior members have been in
structed in the principles Of the Audubon Society"
These bird clubs. Mr. Pearson adds, have held
public bird-exhbitions given various entertainments,
established bird sancuares, fed birds in Winter built
and erected muttudes bird-boxes posted notices Of
bird and game, laws. arranged lecture courses, cir
culaed libraries of bird-books conducted bird walks.
worked for State and national legislation organized
scores OF Junior Audubon Clubs and carried forward
many other Audubon activities
Mr. Pearson reports that during the year, more than
three million Of the twocent illustrated pamphlets,
giving life histories OF the different American birds,
have been issued
Delaware boys and girls ought TO engage more &C
lively than they doing in this work for the con-
servation of bird life In New Castle Kent and Sus-

POSITION OF THE RAILROADS.

II RANCIS II. SISSON is assistant chairman of the
Il Railway Executives Advisory Committee. He has
sent to from New York open letter bearing upon
the investigation Of American railroads by the New
lands Congressional Committee. We take pleasure in
recommending that letter TO the serious attention of
readers and especially TO those who have money
invested in stocks and bonds OF railroads.
Mr. sisson presents the position Of the railroads so
clearly that intelligent person have any valid
excuse for misunderstanding misrepresenting it.
The railroads do oppose public regulation or SUI
pervision. Mr. Ssson asserts They realize that pub
lie regulation of such properties has come 10 stay

as to points on which the decision Of
the regional board may be questioned.
8. Regulation or supervision Of
securities, like regulat on of rates, is
a matter of national rather than of
local concern. The railroads feel
that this function should be in the
hands, of a Federal regulating body.
This leads logically TO the consider
alton OF Federal incorporation Of
railroads.
g. The railroads feel that the right
now generally exercised by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
suspend rate advances for ten months
works an injustice to them and they
feel that this should be mited to a
