tion's excellent illustrated magazine,
"Bird -Lore." The cost of this equip
ment greatly exceeds the ten cent fee
per child, but is made possible by As
sociation funds available for this
use, which as before mentioned
amount to $30,000 for the current
year. Professor Corrington wants to
see the children of South Carolina re
ceive their share of -this national ap
propriation.
It is impossible at the present time
to communicate directly with every
teacher in the State, but it is hoped
that the co-operation of the County
Superintendent, of the Press, and of
interested parents will bring their
attention to this matter. Any teach
er interested in the formation of a
Junior Audubon Club' in her room or
school is urged to communicate with
the state agent, who will forward lit
erature further . explaining the pur
poses and methods of the Association.

Professor Corrington intends reach
ing directly as many parts of the
State as possible in a aorica of talks
on birds. Schools interestcd in secur
ing such n lecture, designed primarily
for graded school children, should
communicate, stating whether or not
they have a projection lantern avail
able for the display of colored lantern
slides. All expenses incidental to
such talks are borne by the National
Association.
