THE ROBIN
| see you, little Robin,
| hear your "tweet-tweet-tweet'
| love to watch you hopping
On your little yellow feet.
Your eyes are bright and saucy,
Your song is full of cheer,
am sure you came to tell me
That the flowers will soon be here.

Each year observes a step forward in
the study of birds, and we are glad to
note that many rural schools throughout
the county are making special efforts to
become familiar with birds of this vicinity.
In connection with the manual training
work many bird houses have been con
structed and installed on the grounds.
This has been a means of attracting the
birds thereby giving the pualls an oppOr-
tunty to study them more closely. The
pupils of the Epson school last year
studied and identified close to fifty birds
A number of other schools in the county
also carried on such a study but a definite
report has not reached the office A num-
Der OF teachers have opened this years
work on birds with spring bird-chart.
The name of the bird identified and the
date on which it was first seen are re-
corded by he pupil who first discovers it.
The following material will be found very
helpful to teachers who are taking up
tins work. Bird Guide" by Chester A.
