Your obedient servant,
CHARLES r. SKINNER.
State Superintendent.
We beg to call your attention to the work and
aims Of the Audubon Society of the State OF New
York. which are heartily Endorsed by the state
Superintendent of Public instruction. We believe
that the most efficient means of protecting our
birds is develop and encourage an interest in
them among children. and to this end we hope
soon 10 see a Bird Day universally observed in our
schools. As a step in this direction may we not ask
you to make such of the circulars, sent you by

duce the best results? Very truly yours
