AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN BY THE 

 ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



IN 1912 one of the officers of the New York Zoological 

 Society wrote a book of 400 pages, intended to jar law- 

 makers and the public at large into a full realization of the 

 dangers that beset the wild birds and quadrupeds of our 

 country, and our continent. Its title was "Our Vanishing 

 Wild Life." 



After having read the manuscript, the chief executive 

 officers of the Society decided to use it in a great educa- 

 tional effort, and accordingly ordered the printing of an 

 edition of 13,000 copies. The cost of that edition and its 

 distribution was provided by a special subscription fund, 

 chiefly from the Board of Managers, as follows: 



Mrs. Russell Sage $ 1,000
