The Crab Industry in Md.

according to recent report, unless pro-
tectlve measures are adopted and enfor-
Ell, the soft-shell crab, which has been
abundant in Chesapeake Bay and its trib-
utarles, will meet the fate of the terra.
pm, the canvas back duck, etc.
The crab, although always looked upon
as water scayenger, has developed into
one OF the most important of our sea-
foods During the last decade the in
dustry has increased in the MARYLAND
counties.
orlsfleld as a shipping point is the
most extensive in the world for carbs
and in 1910 it was estimated that the
shipments amounted to 12O,0OO,OOO soft
crabs alone.
1t is believed by most watermen,
that the crab, like the diamondback ter
rapin which was once so numerous in the
state that the slaves objected to being
fed on them more often than once week,
is beyond determination.
A study of the crab, its habits and in
creasing demand, will convince that it,
too, can be destroyed.
The idea has prevailed among the peo-
pie for many years that the supply of
crabs was recruited every year from the
ocean and that no matter how many
were destroyed, countless millions came
in at the Capes to take their place from
the open sea, is now an exploded
theory. Although crabs are found al
along the Atlantic coast they are not
the blue crab which has as its habitat
the inland waters of the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries.
The female crab spawns but once il
the course of her existence and this take
place when she has reached a certain
development. Watermen have no diff
ficulty in distinguishing the male iron
the female. The hale has "T'' shape,
"apron,' while the apron of the fe
male is oval. The female is capable O
producing 100000 young and these lit
tie ones hang on their mother until sh
thinks it time for them to shift for them
selves, when she rubs them off on tn
sand. The crab at this stage is know
as the sponge bearer.
The General Assembly of Virgini
passed a law to protect a female at thi
stage, and the watermen are urging tina
Maryland follow the Virginan law.

Increased Attendance
in High Schools

More than million and quarter
boys and girls will attend the Ameri-
can high schools, public and private,
during the school year l9l2-13, according
to the estimate of DR.. p. p. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Education.
DR.. Claxton has been assured by Alexan-
der Summers, statistician of the bureau,
who has made a special study of the mat
ter, that the estimate is conservative
one. OF the number given l, 100000 are
and 100000 for the private secondary
schools
The American high school has grown
phenomenally in the past dozen years,
its development in the last two or
three years being apparently greater
than in the remarkable decade just pre-
l-cedng. Since the twentieth century
opened the number of public high schools
/ has almost doubled and the number of
students is easily twice what it was at
the beginning of the century The most
cheering feature of the whole matter
| for the American citizen is the very
great increase in the proportion OF
those who go from the grades into the
high school. Formerly (only very
few years ago, in fact) the high schoo
was chiefly attended by children of the
rich and moderately wel-tO-do. To-day
nearly one-fourth of the children who en-
ter the elementary school eventually pass
into the high school. The exact figure
is % per cent if negro children are IN
cluded, and 25 percent if-white only arr
considered This is particularly signifi
cant. since certain critics Of tho higl
schools have, through misunderstand
ing Of the official reports, contended tina
much smaller percentage than is her
given had the opportunity of high sehoo
training. The fact remains that iron
% to % Of every hundred children VIII
enter the schools at all go into the hlg
school.
Commissioner Claxton's S widely quot
cd statement Of some months ago to tn
fleet that he looked forward to the tim
when all boys and girls would have
least a high school education seems i'Kt
" of fulflment sooner than even tn
commissioner himself anticipated.
