Dear Sir — It is indeed a pleasure to bear 

 testimony to the educational value of so beauti- 

 ful a production as the CHARTS OP 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 

 eager to tell about the birds with which they 

 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 hava 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 

 tli« set inraluable. Cordially given,

 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 in a 

 high degree, should be immensely 

 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,

I find it impossible to ex^. ,s to yon the grreat 

 pleasure your CHARTS OF NORTH AMERICAN 

 BIRDS grive 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 begrinner. The daring of 

 your enterprise since its inception has been a con- 

 tinual marvel to me. The world already blesses yoti 

 for this undertaking, for yon are helping to make it 

 better. Yours very truly.

 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.
