Excerpt from A Manual of Bird Study: A Description of Twenty-Five Local Birds With Study Outlines
The purpose of the loan collections of birds and other animals in the American Museum of Natural History is to place in the hands of teachers good material for classroom instruction. At the same time authoritative data is given with each collection. These loan collections are available for any teacher in any school in Greater New York.
The method of obtaining these collections has been made the simplest possible as far as the teachers are concerned. At least once a year (in September), and sometimes. Twice a year, a return postal card is mailed to every school principal in the City system. All that the principal has to do to obtain the collections is to indicate by numerals the sequence in which he wants the collee tions delivered, signing his name and school number. The Mu seum messengers will then deliver the collections, and call for them, without any more effort on the part of the schools. The entire cost of this service is borne by the Museum.
