Commonweal Lecture on "A Bird in the Bush" On Monday evening, April 30, at 7:45 sharp, Mrs. Boyd Rothrock, of the Pennsylvania State Museum, will give an illustrated lecture on birds, using many beautifully colored slides, in John Y. Boyd hall of the Y. W. C. A. for the Commonwealth Club. All who are Interested are cordially Invited to attend. To the real nature lover as well as the agriculturist, the bird in the bush is worth much more than the bird in the hand. To know and love the bird is not simply to name it and recognize its call. It is to appreciate its place in the landscape and in the season, to relate it to your daily life, to divine its character and to know it emotionally in your heart. For those who "have eyes and see not" as well as those who have not the time or inclination to go to the woods, a knowledge of more than a dozen different birds may be gained without leaving the city streets.
