Excerpt from Bird Studies

A very real desire for a school-book on Birds has resulted in this volume. Books on British Birds are legion, for these bright creatures make so strong an appeal that the Nature-loving public have been well catered for by the publishers who have produced books ranging in price from pence to guineas. Few of these are specially designed to help pupil or teacher by taking a definite place in the school curriculum.

Birds are best studied as living creatures in their own homes, otherwise it is difficult to obtain any real idea of the lives they lead.

Over and over again I have found that teachers have a keen desire to know how this practical study of birds can be organised both in and out of school hours, and the present volume has been written to meet this want.

The twenty-four lessons which follow are arranged in the order of the Seasons.
