Things are going well with the

port as secretary of the National As

The main reason Mr.. Pearson ascribes

tween the birds and the children.
'1f this association had never en-
gagged in any line of conservation ef-
fort other than its work with chill
dren.' says Mr. Pearson. 'its influence
for good would still have been monu-
mental. Beginning with the school
year of 1901. when we enrolled 10,-
595 children in bird study classes in
the southern states, this organized ef-
fort has spread with astonishing ra-
pidity to every state in the Union.
Each year has seen marked in
crease over the previous year, both in
bers of children enrolled. The past
year 1901 such junior groups were
formed with total paid membership
of 205.l96. This is an increase of more
the year before. Since the inception of
this phase of our work. six years ago.
total of 2S.522 Junior Audubon Bird
Clubs have been formed and 572,0S1
children as regular Junior members
have been instructed in the principles
of the Audubon Society.
These bird clubs" says Mr. Pearson,
"have held public bird exhibitions, CIV
en- various entertainments. established
bird sancturaries. fed birds in winter.
built and erected multitudes of bird
boxes, posted notices of bird and game
laws. arranged lecture courses, cir
culated libraries of bird books, con-
Quoted 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
wear more than three million of the
tWo-cent Illustrated pamphlets giving
life histories of the different American
birds have been issued.
