Dear Sir — It is indeed a pleasure to bear 

 testimony to the educational value of so beauti- 

 ful a production as the CHARTS OF NORTH 

 AMERICAN BIRDS, issued by the Nature 

 Study Publishing Co., of Chicago. 



We have receutly ordered a supply of these 

 Charts for the Schools of this city. Our 

 teachers are already finding them a most 

 inspiring basis for Nature Study and Language 

 work. 



They inspire a love for the birds and through 

 this, a love for all Nature. The children are 

 eager to tell about the birds with which they 

 are acquainted aTid are very ready to look up 

 information concerning those that are new to 

 them. All this adds a new spirit and zest to 

 the Language work in those rooms in which 

 the Bird Charts have been used. As a basis for 

 Information Lessonsthey are also of great value. 



The color-photography process gives us the 

 most beautiful representation of our North 

 American birds of which I know. I consider 

 the set invaluable. Cordially given,
