You liavo no idea how much wo appreciate it, and to repay you for your kindness, wean? going to sing our very best songs at(tho entertainment on Friday and givo concerts every day except Saturday and Sunday for your special benefit. Saturday we sing for tho little sick chil-dreand Sunday, of course, we sit outside thq church windows and help tho caused tin little birds? What a cruel thing it is to wear birds just because they are fashionable. Why not wear flowers and ribbon instead? They aro a great deal nicer and do not hurt anything either. How glad wo would be if the boys would stop throwing stones to hurt us and destroy our pretty little nests which we liavo taken so much pains to make cozy and warm for our young, and tho little eggs that are in it. We hope at least the boys of tho Whittier School will not do it. Dear children if you wish your vacation which will .soon be here made moro pleasant by hearing us sing, please tell the? men not to cut down the trees for lumber, but to plant more, so we can all liavo room to build our nests.

At their meeting on Friday tho Council is to consider and probably take up a work which should apcitizen that peal to every of forming an League in our schools.
