! under his tutelege, that I began study ing flowers and trees. Since that time
 l have studied with him in field and gen.
 eral nature work at the International Sunday School camp at Lake Geneva, |where he is in charge of all the nature | study.
 My work with the government began alter 1 had entered Washington and Lee 1 University, where I kept up the records
 had made for my own benefit of birds
 that migrated through that section Of i country"
 They don't come back unless they like the country laughed MT. Handley. Sometimes one watches for birds for
 years, and just as all hope is given up,
 wakes some good morning to find them visiting again. Sometimes they come
 back every year, and there are instances
 where certain birds have never been | through our section of country but once.
 Last year recorded 125 different species
 of birds that migrated through West Vir- ginia. and since January 1 of this year have found no species. Of course, the fall migration records are yet to be made Tn connection with the migration work Tor the government, I have used the camera extensively, in recording all un- ] usual sights, beginning with nesting time, | through the different stages of bird life. l So that I have quite an album of inter- esting pictures to show the young people at Winnataska."
 Besides, MT. Handley has the most at tractive herbarium that he has made in collecting specimens of flowers for Washington and Lee University. and he has shipped some of his specimens of birds.
 What is his plan for Winnataska this summer? To be here the entire time through the camp season, in charge of nature study for the boys camps, and in cooperation with Mrs. Elwyn Ballard in her plans for nature study in the girls camps. lou will go with him on the most delightful hikes where you will be
 introduced to all the birds common to this part of the country. You will learn to know them as your next-door neigh bors and friends, to find out all about their haunts and habits. what season of the year to look for them. and what time in the day they will be "at home" to call CTS.
 MT. TIandley will also tell you some of his fascinating secrets about how to attract birds to your home. will teach you the best plan for building birds S home. and will give you the menus that will please when you invite them to dine After hearine all this. of course not one
 of you will ever kill another bird unless somebody is starving, and you can't find another thing to eat But if you should happen to carry a gun, and your hnger
 slips to pull the trigger, MT. Handley will teach you how to mount your little dead specimen.
 Other groups of young people MT Hand- ley will teach for you who prefer the study of flowers or rocks, leaves, or butterflies or insects. Through his magic
 you will learn how to collect and pre-
 serve these For he knows how to press
 flowers for the herbarium, how 10 make
 blue prints of the leaves of all the trees and how to record all of natures handi-
 work with the aid of wonderful camera.
 If YOU wish to know Mother Nature and
 Mother Natures friend, Mr. Handley,
 ,-ery well indeeds> be sure to go to Camp
 Winnataska this summer.
 Maybe. at Sunday school headquarters,
 Miss Batchelder will find line to list

 self. is there?
