"It has been the good fortune of Public School No. 50 to have 

 lecturers like Mr. Sherwood and Mrs. Roesler come to the children 

 in their own school and show them, from specimens sent by the 

 Museum, the characteristics of many birds whose notes they re- 

 produced to the great pleasure of the children. It is a 'red-letter 

 day' in Public School No. 50 when a new case of specimens arrives 

 and is exhibited to the children. 



"We feel that the Museum would have justified all that it has 

 cost if it were only for what it does for the children of the elementary 

 schools."
