"The children are quite anxious to receive the leaflets and 

 hear all about the birds, as they are so interested in birds and 

 flowers." Elizabeth McElhenny, Garwood, N. J. 



*T am very glad to have a class started, as the neighborhood 

 has not been educated to protect birds." Mrs. Bessie D. Sked, 

 Titusvflle, N. J. 



"Last week the pictures and bird leaflets came, and the chil- 

 dren were very much pleased with them. One child told me that 

 her mother was going to have the pictures framed for her. Some 

 of the children from the other classes have asked if they might 

 join, as they live in the country and are much interested in. 

 birds. So far we have taken up only the red-winged blackbird 

 and shall do the robin this month. I am sorry it is so late in 

 the season, but shall start in the Fall, and hope to accomplish 

 more next year." Jessie C. Walker, Westfield, N. J. 



"The children are very pleased with the buttons and leaflets." 

 Jean Graham, Essex Fells, N. J. 



'T wish to state that the children are very enthusiastic over 

 the work, as well as some of the older folks at home. The color- 

 ing of the outline birds has been well done and some of the 

 fathers are saving the pictures colored by the children for fram- 

 ing." Miss Julia C. Reilly, Newark, N. J. 



^*Our pupils are taking the greatest interest in the bird study." 

 We propose to devote our nature period for the remainder of the 

 term to their study. I hope to form a new class in Sep- 

 tember." Miss E. Josephine Rogers, Vineland, N. J. 



"The children are enjoying the birds very much and are 

 showing much enthusiasm in describing those they see on their 

 way to school." Edith R. Phillips, Montclair, N. J. 



"These leaflets have been a great help in the classroom, and 

 the children are more enthusiastic over 'Bird Study' than they 

 have ever been before. They save the leaflets and plates, as 

 they color them, and most of the children are planning to have 

 them bound for future reference. 



"We teachers sincerely hope that we may be able to avail 

 ourselves of this opportunity to study birds in the schoolroom 

 another year." Minnie T. Pegrum, Montclair, N. J.
