About all I could do with them was to give them 

 as good and as kind an argument as possible, and 

 leave with them my most convincing bird literature — 

 praying in my heart, as I went, that the Creator of 

 bird life as well as human life would be kind enough 

 to give them just common sense. 



I believe if more magazines would follow the ex- 

 ample of The People's Home Journal in helping 

 educate the people to protect our song birds, we 

 would have better laws and, as a rule, a better class 

 of people. I believe if there is one cause above an- 

 other beneath God's bended blue, aside from the 

 salvation of mankind, that needs the force of the press, 

 it is the protection of our wild life.

I am exceedingly interested in the work ot your 

 Green Meadow Club for Bird Sanctuaries and Bird 

 Mess Halls. It is a capital movement and I would 

 like to help develop it in this State. I write to ask if 

 vou will send me copies of magazines that tell about 

 the movement and give me permission to use extracts 

 giving due credit of course to The People's Home 

 Journal. We are intending to print some leaflets 

 on the subject for distribution amongst some thou- 

 sands of children to push along the Sanctuary idea. 



I am, cordially yours,
