EASIOE SUHHER SCHOOLS
-OF--
Beaufort, North Carolina
PIVERS ISLAND
Duke and USBF
First in a series of Wed
nesday evening lectures was
presented in tie dimncr nan
of Duke with Dr. Ben Royall,
Morehead City surgeon and
interested student of coastal
ornithology. He gave some
interesting facts on birdlife
as he knew it on the coast,
the great one-time business
(now outlawed) of market hunt,
ing birds for their skins and
plumes for hats in the old days,!
rookeries and other matters of vi
tal interest to scientists and orni-j
thologists. Present at the lecture
were 45 persons, most of whom
were Duke students, and scientists
from the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
Station Laboratory on the island.
Several of the students from other
summer school units on the coast
were also present.
Dr. Royal was followed on the
program by Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson
president emeritus of the National
Association of Audubon Societies,
and the world's foremost ornithol
ogist, and Dr. H. H. Brimley, for
mer director of the N. C. Museum
in Raleigh. Both of these great
ornithologists are making a coas
tal tour, collecting data for the re
vision of their famous book, "Birds
of North Carolina" published a
bout 20 years ago. Dr. H. F.
Prytherch, director of the U. S.
Fisheries Laboratory stated, fol
lowing the lecture that these two
men had done more for birds than
any other persons.
If it had not been for the activ
ities of such leading ornithologists
as Dr. Pearson and Dr. Brimley,
the hats of women would have con
tinued to look like bird cages, and
many o fthe species, hunted for
their skins and plumes would have
become exterminated by this time.
This was especially true of the
Least Tern and Egret. They told
of present day enemies of birds,
chiefly mischievous boys and
crows.
New Arrivals
Arrivals at the U. S. Fisheries
Station during the week were Mr.
and Mrs. E. Bascom Hardcastle, of
Hopewell Va., where he is teacher
in the public schools, and Dr.
Amelia Stirewalt and Dr. Fergu
son of the University of Virginia.
The distinction between the Fish
eries Lab and the other marine
biology units in Beaufort, is that
the U. S. government plant is visi
ted by persons who are doing ad
vanced scientific research, and not
students.
Duke Lab
Recent arrivals at the Duke Ma
rine laboratory were the following
students: Cecil C. Strickland,
Clendiven, W. Va. ; John T. Crig
ler, Charlotte; John ". Wood.
Winstan-Salem; Harry J. McDou

Lafayette, Ind., (biology teacher
at Ward Belmont College, Nash
ville, Tenn.) ; 0. E. McCrory, Lau
rel, Miss., (teacher at Ellisvillc

ART COLONISTS
HELEN
By
HOWERTON
WCUNS's Art Colony on the
coast at Beaufort were joined this
week by Miss Jane Griffith of
Asheville and Greensboro and Mrs.
Lena McDuffy of Greensboro.
Our work is progressing satisfac
torily, in a serious, yet jovial man
ner, and in spite of the Saturday
morning criticisms, quite frank at
times, encouraging improvement
is being noted in the work of the
artists and art students who have
leen sketching and painting just
about every picturesque scene in
this beautiful old town.
WE ARE beginning to feel
quite at home here in Beaufort,
while sketching in every nook, cor
ner and wide open space available.
No list of potential painting mate
rial is being overlooked, not even
that from the top of railroad box
cars, where our group sketched on
one morning early this week.
Many trips are being planned, but
at present anticipation is very keen
in view of the one to Harkers Is
land tomorrow, (Friday.)
INTEREST is increasing with
the opening of the Beaufort Art
Exhibit, June 17. Frances Mor
gan has promised that it would be
a good one. We are finding much
pleasure in carrying on our work
here on your Carteret Coast.
