Teaching Kindness to Birds

The Humane Press Bureau quotes the United States Government as saying: "Public sentiment, if properly fostered in the schools, would gain force with the growth and development of our boys and girls, and would become a hundredfold more potent than any law enacted by the State or Congress. I believe such a sentiment can be developed so strong and so universal that a respectable woman will be ashamed to be seen with the wing of a wild bird on her bonnet, and an honest boy will be ashamed to own that he ever robbed a nest or wantonly took the life of a bird." Whichever Government official said that, the sentiment is good, and we are glad to add our push to it in sending it on. Teach the boys to be manly, fair, kind.
