Norwood, Mass., WILLIAM DUTCHER PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AUDUBON SOCIETIES IN RECOGNITION OF HIS UNSELFISH DEVOTION TO THE CAUSE OF BIRD PROTECTION. TO THE CHILDEEN Greeting ! Oh, sweet is the whitethroats lay,As the banners of dawn unfold ! The lovable, quarrelsome wrens all dayPeep and prattle and scold: Skulks a blue jay hiding his grain; Blinks an owl with the crows in train — Courtship merry and combat vainThe eyes of the wise behold. And Nature spreads wide her book. In a temple fair and free, —To all who may listen she cries, Come, look! Come and learn at my the change of the finchs vest,Note how the highhole carves his nest, —Come with light foot and loving breast. And bury your ills with me ! — Dora Bead Goodale. BE SURE THAT YOU SEE ARIGHT! The preservation of the useful and beautiful animal andbird life of the country depends largely upon creating inthe young an interest in the life of the woods and fields. If the child mind is fed with stories that are false tonature, the children will go to the haunts of the animalonly to meet disappointment. The result will be disbelief,and the death of interest. T
