On Saturday, june 10th, the execu-
tive committee of the Dorset Society
of Natural Science inspected the bird
houses which the children have made
in response to the society's offer of
prizes. They found, as they expected,
that many of the houses were unoccu-
pied owing to various reasons but they
were pleased to see that the children
had made a very good beginning, and
much more should be accomplished
next year. The committee awarded
the first prize to Robert Kent and sec
ond prizes TO Daniel Paddock and Eliz-
abeth West. Two Of the best houses,
which unfortunately were not occu-
pied, were those of Ruth Gilbert and
Clyde McWayne. These ought to do
well in future competition. All
children who are interested in the mat
ter will do well to get their houses up
in the fall Let them first find out
what kind of houses the various birds
prefer and where and how they should
be set up to please the birds, then
their work will surely be appreciated
and they will have the joy of helping
to bring more song birds close to their
own home.
