se fee has been paid,
the beautiful Audubon button, and a set of ten coloured pictures,
together with the outline drawings and descriptive leaflets assigned to
class study for that year. The teacher will also receive, free of
cost, for one year, the splendid magazine _Bird-Lore_, which contains
many valuable suggestions for teachers. It is expected that the
teacher shall give at least one lesson a month on the subject of birds,
for which purpose she will find the leaflets of great value as a basis
for the lessons.

_Rules for a Bird Study Class._--If the teacher wishes, the Audubon
Class may have a regular organization, and a pupil may preside upon the
occasions when the class is discussing a lesson. For this purpose the
following simple constitution is suggested:

Article 1. The organization shall be known as the (give name) Junior
Audubon Class.

Article 2. The object of its members shall be to learn all they can
about wild birds, and to try to save any from being wantonly killed.

{255}

Article 3. The officers shall consist of a President, Secretary, and
Treasurer.

Article 4. The annual fees of the class shall be 10 cents for each
member; and the money shall be sent to the National Association of
Audubon Societies in exchange for Educational Leaflets and Audubon
Buttons.

Article 5. The Junior Audubon Class shall have at least one meeting
every month.

Although most of these classes have been and will be formed among
pupils in schools, any one may form a class of children anywhere, and
receive the privileges offered.

_Subjects for Study._--Besides the study of the particular birds in the
leaflets, the following subjects may be studied with profit:

_Birds' Nests._--In the fall, after all the birds have left their
nests, the nests may be collected and brought to the schoolroom. Study
them and learn that the Chipping Sparrow's nest is made of fine
rootlets and grasses, and is lined with horsehair; {256} examine the
mud cup of the Robin's nest, the soft lining of the Loggerhead Shrike's
nest, etc.

_Feeding Birds._--In winter arrange "bird tables" in the trees and by
the windows, and place crumbs and seeds on them; in summer put out
bathing and drinking pans, note what birds come to them and how
frequently, and report what you observe to the class.

_Nesting Boxes._--In early spring put up nesting boxes for Bluebirds,
Wrens, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Martins, and other birds. The leaflets
