"I saw them for the first time about a week ago and shall 

 never forget the beauty of the male against the snow. It was 

 my first sight of an uncaged cardinal. 



"We have had many chickadees at our feeding trays this win- 

 ter and at present the children find great pleasure in 'watching a 

 downy woodpecker eat the suet placed on a tree very near one of 

 our school windows." Blanche G. Smith, St. Cloud, West Orange. 

 N. J. 



"I have always been exceedingly glad to have my boys and 

 girls form a Bird Club and I am more than glad this year as the 

 collection is an unusually interesting one and the pictures are more 

 artistic than ever before. 



"The children are very enthusiastic and children in a large city 

 need some such stimulus as your leaHets and pictures to arouse their 

 interest in the birds. It seems a pity that more people cannot 

 be led to get into their lives that wonderfully beautiful influence 

 for good, love for, and an intelligent knowledge of the birds. 



"Much success and joy to you in your work." Sue E. Garis, 

 East Orange, N. J. 



"The children are greatly interested in the leaflets and espe- 

 cially like to color the pictures." Emilie A. Rogers, Delanco, \. J. 



"The children are very enthusiastic about and have gained 

 much knowledge by the use of the Study Leaflets. My Guide, for 

 which I thank you, is very helpful. I am enclosing 90c for dues 

 for nine new members to our class Club. Will you send the printed 

 matter as soon as possible?" Frances B. Shaw, Westfield, X, J. 



"I am enclosing a check for eighty cents. I would like two 

 of the small books — New Jersey Bird Guides. I have off^ered one 

 for the best house made by any of my pupils — mostly seven or 

 eight years of age. The other book is for the best bird house 

 brought in. made by a big brother or father. I will send you a 

 picture of the children wnth their houses. 



"One of the most attractive made by an older brother is of 

 small birch boughs with a green shingled roof. 



"I expect to form -my bird club in a very few dr.ys. 



"I also have the bank and I hope to fill it this spring, having 

 bird walks. I have a Camp Fire, and I am sure the girls wdl 

 help me." Fanny Leigh Beckwith, Plainfield, N. J.
