| Summary | "Bird Day; How to Prepare for It" by Charles Almanzo Babcock is a guidebook aimed at educators and students, written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the concept of "Bird Day," a special day dedicated to the study and appreciation of birds, emphasizing its importance in schools to foster a love for nature and conservation among children. The text likely blends elements of educational methodology with a passionate plea for the protection of birds and their habitats. The opening of the work outlines the inception of "Bird Day," driven by the realization of children's enthusiasm for bird observation. It recounts letters of support from prominent figures advocating for a dedicated day to celebrate birds, highlighting the intrinsic value of studying them. Babcock emphasizes the need to develop a positive sentiment towards birds in children, addressing issues like the despoliation of birds for fashion and the importance of their ecological roles in controlling insect populations. Through this foundation, the author seeks to inspire educational practices that prioritize nature study and promote awareness of environmental conservation in young minds.
