How is it to be done?
Have you ever watched a woman interested in birds making her observations?
She will get up at daylight to catch a note of a new singer.

She will study in detail the little family that is making its home on her veranda.

From the hour that the birds arrive in the spring until the hour that they leave in the fall she misses nothing of their doings.

It is a beautiful and profitable study, and it is a type of what is required of a woman who would fulfill her obligation toward the youth of her neighborhood.
Could we have such study everywhere in country and town, what tragedies and shames we might be spared! A few months ago the whole nation was horrified by a riot in a prosperous small city of the Middle West which ended in the lynching of a young man, a mere boy, who in trying to discharge his duty as a public official had killed a man.

Some thirty persons, _over half of them boys under twenty years of age_, are to-day serving terms of from fifteen to twenty years in the penitentiary for their part in this lynching.
Their terrible work was no insane outbreak.
