Teachers, Attention !

We wish to call your attention to
the fact that at our Institute, so lately
adjourned, you very enthusiastically
voted to accept the proposition OF the
HERALD to supply matter for one
column of the paper each week, and
appointed q committee to receive your
communications and hand them to
the editor. We supposed you meant
what YOU said, and allowed ourselves
to be appointed on that committee.
We have, thus far received but one
communication, besides the one
handed in at the Institute, and shall
be Obliged to give up the position,
having nothing to do, if you dO not
come to the rescue. l believe we have
fifty teachers in the country engaged
in teaching. If every one sends
something, if only a few lines, each
week, we shall have enough on hand
to fulfill our contract. Send us any
items in regard to your schools, such
as number in attendance, roll of honor,
etc., but be sure to send something.
1t will surely not be very much to our
credit as teachers OF Los Angeles
county, to have it said that we did not
feel interest enough in our profession
to supply one column a week Of edu-
cational matter. - aH
Will you respondo pause for your
reply. H. A. SAKE,
Chairman Committee.

even that quantity seems small when We
consider that the cod yields something
like $500 eggs each season. ard even
5000 900 have been found in the roe OF
single cod Other fish, though not

After making al reasonable allowances for

it has been calculated tha. in three years

Of hcrrings were left to breed and multi
ply undis,urbed for a period Of twenty
years. they would yield fish bulk equal
to the globe on which we live. The cod
FAR surpasses the herring in fecundity.
