BIRD DAY IN THE SCHOOLS— Continued from page 129. 



the singing of their feathered brothers 

 of the air. Call attention to their 

 beauty and grace of form, plumage 

 and movement. Watch them care for 

 their little ones. Notice their nests — 

 their happy little homes — those " half- 

 way houses on the road to heaven," 

 and as you and your flock wander, 

 watch and listen and call to mind that, 



" 'Tis always morning somewhere, and above 

 The awakening continents, from shore to shore, 

 Somewhere the birds are sinsano- evermore." 



Let us, fellow teachers and fellow 

 citizens of America, take up this 

 work of bird study and bird protection. 

 Let the schools teach it, the press 

 print it, and the pulpit preach it, till 

 from thousands of happy throats shall 

 be proclaimed the glad tidings of good 

 will of man towards the birds.
