[Not even "suspended animation;" the Chapter is only catching its breath for more vigorous exertion.]
470, Nicollet, Wis. Still prospering. We have a small room nicely fitted up, in our High School building, of which we are quite proud. We have a working membership of twenty-four, and hold regular meetings.
[A friend of the Chapter adds to this report of Miss Sara Ritchie, the secretary, the following:]
"I was exceedingly interested in listening to the different members reporting formally the occurrence of our spring birds, with which was associated the arrival of certain insects. Two years ago, such reports were impossible, as the observing faculties of very few of the members had been sufficiently trained. If nothing more has been acquired, this one habit of close observation, developed by our A. A. work, is worth all it may have cost those who have encouraged and carried out the plan of the Association."
