Norfajooti IPrfSg J. S. Cushing & Co. — Berwick & SmithNorwood Mass. PREFACE In the following pages an effort has been made topoint out several means for bird protection which can-not be embodied in legal enactments. We are alwaysready to pass a law against an evil, but too often weprovide insufficient means to carry out and enforce theprovisions of the law. This, I regret to state, is thegreatest obstacle to the effective legal protection ofsong birds, game birds, and mammals. If the friendsof birds and nature do not tire in the good work ofeducating the young of the nation on these subjects,the time will come when game wardens will have muchless to do than now. Education works slow, but it iseffective. My thanks are due to Mr. William T. Hornaday forpermission to quote from his most interesting and val-uable report on The Destrucournativebirdsho00lang
