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 recently 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 
are acquainted and 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 Lessons they 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, 
HERBERT B. HAYDEN,

WHAT TWO ORNITHOLOGISTS AND AUTHORS 
OF BIRD LITERATURE 
SAY OF OUR 
Charts of North American Birds. 
Iamin receipt of the CHART mentioned in your 
letter, and it is indeed beautiful. Every bird lover 
should render you the gratitude of his heart that your 
Company has done such wonderful things in this line. 
I wish that every school in the land might have a 
copy. Very sincerely yours, 
Mexico, Mo. JAMES NEWTON BASKETT. 
I find it impossible to express to you the great 
pleasure your CHARTS OF NORTH AMERICAN 
BIRDS give me. They are superb. They will be 
certain to find a ready sale, and will be no less certain 
to smooth the path of every beginner. The daring of 
your enterprise since its inception has been a con- 
tinual marvel to me. The world already blesses you 
for this undertaking, for you are helping to make it 
better. Yours very truly, 
Oberlin, Ohio. LYNDS JONES.

GENTLEMEN:— The package of Charts 
is just to hand, and I hasten to express 
my high appreciation of them for ed- 
ucational purposes. I think I should 
have gone wild with joy if I had seen 
such pictures when I was a schoolboy, 
and now I should like to see the set of 
Charts in every public school and 
kindergarten in the United States. 
They combine beauty and utility ina 
high degree, should be immensely 
eager to tell about the birds with which they | 
popular, and make the study of birds 
a great pleasure. I do not see how 
entertainment and instruction could 
‘have been more happily or effectively 
~combined. 
Yours truly, 
DR; .ELLIOTT ‘CQUES; 
Editor of Osprey. 
Joliet, Ill., Nov. 9, 1898. 
Dear Mr. Watt: 
It gives me pleasure to tell you that 
the Nature Study Chart you left is 
giving us all the results you claimed 
for it. Interest in all bird life, in their 
homes, habits, and their preservation 
has been aroused in the children. 
The conversations upon the birds 
furnish excellent material for language 
work. I have a most creditable paper 
on the Blue Jay from a boy who has 
always dreaded ‘‘ compositions.” 
. Very truly yours, 
KaTE A. HENDERSON, 
Supt. Joliet Pub. Schools. 
These charts contain 18 sheets heavily-coated manilla paper and two cover sheets, including 142
