Excerpt from Twenty-Six Common Birds: To Accompany Audubon Bird Charts
This pamphlet is issued by the Massachusetts Audubon Soci ety, for the Protection Of Birds, to accompany its Wall Chart of colored drawings of twenty-six common birds. The objects of the society are to discourage the wearing of feathers, except those of the ostrich and domesticated fowls; to establish a Bird Day in con junction with Arbor Day in the schools; to promote the knowledge of birds in the community and to protect all wild birds and their eggs from needless destruction. The society circulates good lit erature on the subject, and accurate illustrations of birds. It seeks new members. A new member is added strength for necessary work, and is one more person interested to reform the fashion of wearing feathers of wild birds. The society's publication, Helps to Bird Study, was favorably received, and it is hoped that this lea¿et and the chart will be of further assistance to teachers. The chart should be hung in a conspicuous place on the wall, so that the birds, by inviting constant examination, will become familiar. It should be used to supplement Nature work and general reading whenever convenient.
The society is indebted to Mr. Ralph Hoffmann, of Belmont, Mass., for the descriptions of the birds found in this pamphlet, and for his valuable assistance in supervising the preparation of the chart. The illustrations on the chart have been especially drawn for the society by Mr. E. Knobel. The number following the common name of the bird is the number of that bird on the chart.
Size of Chart, 29 x 42 inches, printed on heavy paper. Price, unmounted, backed with cloth and mounted on rollers like a map, $1. 30.
If its sale indicates that it meets a need and serves to promote the public appreciation of birds, it is proposed to issue a second chart with figures of additional species. The two charts will illustrate all the species commonly Observed. Orders for the chart should be addressed to the Prang Educational Company, Washington Street, Boston. For information regarding the society, address the secretary, Miss Harriet E. Richards, care of Boston Society of Natural History, 234 Berkeley Street, Boston.
