My dear Miss Beard : 



I am profoundly pleased with your novel and attractive design for the manu- 

 facture of colored birds by children. It is the most novel and attractive scheme that I ever 

 have seen for leading children to take an active interest in birds, and at the same time giving 

 them information of permanent use and value. I do not see how any child can resist the making 

 and coloring of paper birds by your method, and I sincerely hope that your method can be 

 made known wide and far. I should think that principals and teachers in the Public Schools 

 would welcome this attractive aid to the teaching of Natural History, and also of Kinder- 

 garten work. 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) W. T. Hornaday.
