Pirney's guidance, We all started
back toward headquarters. We
had only gone a short distance
when we met a first grade teacher
coming in with her class OF little
folks. At the headquarters there
was a parent teachers group, that
had come from Grand Rapids, We
had scarcely got inside the resi-
deHee when the telephone rang. \
teacher OF biology at Niles wanted
to know il she might bring her
class up in the afternoon. DR..
Pirney told mt this was not an
unusual morning.
The great advantage OF sane
tuary is that the wild things be-
come so tame that they are easily
observed.
What Sort OF a Sanctuary?
The Authority is somewhere be-
tween a city park board and state
conservation department. The area
is about the size OF the state Of
Connecticut. and the population ex-
ceeds that of two thirds of the
states. The Kellogg Sanctuary is
not near any large city. The. stu
dents from Ecorse were coming
about lis miles, the parent teach
ers from Grand Rapids were com
ing at least so.
A sanctuary centrally located in
this area would not require a trip
of much over % miles from any
one. 1t would be logical to expect
a much larger attendance. should
like to suggest mature sanctuary"
for the area rather than one for mi
gratory water fowl 3and that ii
should contain a number of fea-
lures not found in the others.
The first requirement. I feel.
should be an area of from 1000 to
! 5000 acres of land containing sew
eral lakes, a good sized forest, a
swamp or swamps, kettle holes,
brooks and hillsides, in short a
terrain that would appeal to all
sorts of wild life and permit of
varied experiments and demonstra-
tions.
At the Headquarters there should
be museum, containing the COM
mon birds and animals, small ZOO
of much the same species alive. a
botanical garden, wild flower gar
den and a good sized arboretum
To care for visiting tourists aud
students there should be a restau,
rant, dormitories, laboratory fully
equipped, lecture halls equipped for
movies and slides and a corps OF
lecturers. Running out from the
headquarters should be a series OF
nature trails. over which nature
guides OF the staff would conduct
groups as they do in the national
parks.
Demonstrations
The sanctuary should offer a set

~ might pursue. II is entirely IN

may be actually carried out; but II

Doubtless to many this depart

the four that have preceded it. and
to some ii may not seem at first as
a proper function of the Authority,
but it covers six OF the purposes
outlined In the act and a number
more that are implied in II.
City parks become sanctuaries
merely on account OF the protection
they offer and where there are
lakes in the parks number Of
varieties of water fowl will usually
be found. These are always OF
interest to park users, who take
pleasure in sharing their lunches
with them. There are usually hun
dreds OF ducks, geese and geebes
in the lake in Central Park, n. Y.
But in Lake Merritt at Berkeley, the
numbers run to many thousands.
While in the lakes of Los Angeles
one is always entertained by the
number of variety of wild things
that come up about the boat and
ask TO be fed. 1t is astonishing
how soon the ducks and geese learn
that they are safe and drop their
native fears.
Parks protect wild life and conse-
quently become sanctuaries; but
the bill evidently contemplates
sanctuaries as areas set aside for
this specific purpose. Two of
note in this region are the Kellogg
Sanctuary near Battle Creek and
the Jack Minor Sanctuary below
Windsor.
In its original meaning a sanctu.
airy was a place where a hunted
fugitive might find safety; but mod.
ern sanctuaries are much more
than this. They furnish protec.
ton; but they are also places of
observation and study. A year ago
