There are frequent telephone calls for information as to the 

 best and quickest way of reaching the Library, as to the 

 nature and scope of the exhibit, etc. It has been surprising 

 to note the number of men who are keenly interested in 

 birds and who take measurements of the feeding cars and 

 other apparatus. 



Clubs from various towns are asking how they can get the 

 exhibit, and the Children's Museum has asked for the col- 

 lection as a permanent exhibit. Miss Griffin, in charge of 

 the Museum, telephoned that they had never dreamed of 

 anything so complete and that she and her directors thought 

 it a beautiful thing to do. 



On Wednesday, the nth, Mr. Baker, president of the 

 Brookline Bird Club, and Mr. Lacy, Town Forester of Brook- 

 line, telephoned to know at what time the Manager would be 

 in. They said they wished to consult him and to get sug- 

 gestions for a similar exhibit which they were planning for 

 Brookline. 



The children have been keenly interested from the first. 

 A boy of eight brought three other boys and acting as guide 

 told his young friends the things he had heard about the 

 exhibition. His remarks on feeding and care of birds showed 

 a youthful appreciation of what the Club is trying to do. 



The whole Glover School, in three relays, has visited the 

 exhibit, and the children from all the schools have been 

 greatly interested in coloring the bird outlines issued by the 

 Audubon Society. One teacher from the Vose School re- 

 ported that coloring birds was so much more attractive 

 than lessons that she had been obliged to take the outlines 

 away during school hours in order to accomplish the regular 

 school work. She also said that the free-hand drawings which 

 the children had made were quite remarkable. She has 

 asked the Library to supply her with a complete set of the 

 outlines so that she can hectograph them for use in the spring. 



Note. This request has been met by the Club, 

 which stands ready to supply these outlines to such 

 of the teachers of the Town of Milton as request them.
