How TO Identify the Birds" to the
largest class in the history of the
| organization, there being 242 mem
bers present!
Under the direction of Mrs. Flor
ence Merriam Bailey, chairman of the
bird class, several new features to
facilitate the work of the students
have been successfully inaugurated
this year and found to be a great
improvement over former methods Of
conducting the classes. With the
new method the students from the
public schools are graded according
TO the school grades, which simplifies
| matters very much and avoids confu-
| sion, as students from various grades
| attend these classes. At the Monday
class the sixth grade was largely rep
| resented.
Interest in the study of birds has
so increased among the younger chill
dren that a kindergarten class has
been established, and special tables
have been provided for their con-
venience.
All of this work is conducted under
the direct supervision of % teachers,
who volunteer their services.
The classes will meet tomorrow, as
usual, at the Thomson School The
childrens class is from $3.50 to 4:30
pm, and the adults class Is from
4:45 to 5:45 pm.
