THE FISH FERTILIZER INDUSTRY

Menhaden fishermen in the Chesa-
peake Bay need not fear for the con-
tinuance for the present Of their in
dustry. so far as legislative action is
concerned. The Curtis bill, which
would have put this enterprise out OF
business in the bay, was passed by
"Wednesday by the Committee on the
Chesapeake and Its Tributaries of the
House.
Capt Curtis bill prohibited the tax
ing OF fish for the purpose of making
oil or fertilizer west of a line drawn
southwark from Cape Henry Light
house. The effect would have been %
restrict menhaden fishing TO the ocean
waters.
Vigorous opposition was waged by
fertilizer manufacturers. Capt Fisher.
of Reedville, one of them. asserted that
practically no food fish are taken in the
menhaden boats. In fact, he declared,
for four years not enough edible fish
were caught TO feed the crews. He
was willing to consent that heavy fine
be imposed If the menhadeR fishermen
caught per cent Of food fish. As a
matter of fact, he said, they do not
catch one-tenth of per cent.
One of the manufacturers said that
the increase of population and the
multiplying methods of distribution to
inland places has caused the scarcity
Of fish, If they were really scarce. He
said, as matter of fact. that more
shad would be caught in the Rappahan-
mock this spring than in any five years
a garter of century ago. More people
catch fish than used to do so.
Argument was also made as 20 the
number of people who would be thrown
out of employment by the closing OF
the fertilizer factories.
In executive session the committee
killed the bill.

DRUG STORES AND LIQUOR

The expected has happened. If
Mr.. Keyser, of Roanoke, and the
majority of the House Committee on

towns will take the place of the sa-

THE VALUE on A CHILD

The article by Rev. rs. Dunaway.
d. D.. which we print in another
colurrn, on The Worth and Posi-
bilities Of a Child. viii be read with
much interest.
Il is a paper on a new line Of
thought or a subject seldom dis
cussed and is worthy of the serious
consideration of all those having
charge Of children. No one should
forget that the child of today is the
man of tomorrow, and as he becomes
leader and director in State, church
and other important matters of life,
it is held that he should be thorough
ly equipped for his important sta
ton. DIR. ID. argues. and argues
well, that as the State throws around
the child from its birth all the neces-
sary provisions for its care. for its
nurture and its protection. it should
make another step forward in the
cultivation of its mind for futul e
usefulness.
The State has already undertaken
that duty in part by inaugurating
the system of public free schools and
dotting the country with school
buildings. and providing teachers
for the instruction of the youth of
the State. But the Doctor thinks
that the State should go farther,
and where parent declines to give
his child the advantages Of the pro
visions that the State has made for
educating it.either from indifference
to education. or because of selfish
ness, preferring its labor to its edu-
cation, he should be compelled to
send his child to school. However.
DR.. ID. does not stand alone in this
view, but it has long been the opin-
ion of some of our leading educators
and public opinion seems to be drift
ing in that direction. 1t is an opin-
ion based upon the inherent rights
of the child and the fact that as the
State has made all the necessary pro-
visions for the education of its chill
dren it should see that every child
shall have fair chance to make the
very best of its capabilities.
We do not pretend to prophesy as
70 what the future will bring forth,
but if compulsory education shall he
adopted by Virginia within the next
decade, it should not be matter of
surprise TO our people.
