G. A. Clark Believes 10000 More
Seals Could Have Been Killed.

George Archibald Clark of Leland Stan
ford University, again witness yester-
day before the House committee on ex-
penditures of the Department Of Com
merce, stated that last year 5000 seals
were killed on the hauling grounds at
Pribilof Islands. Boring sea, for food pur-
poses, the food being supplied to the ma
tives and the skins being sold by the
government. He believed 10000 more
male seals could have been killed without
i2juring the seal herd. AS the govern
ment was selling the skins, he said. this
would have meant a profit of $50, 90
which the government might have had,
but for the closed season.
Mr.. Clark testified that since 1904 not
more than III yearling seals had been
land killed and that these We're taken
under a mistaken impression that they
We're older.
The committee members questioned the
witness closely regarding details of the
taking of seals taken in violation of the
law during the season of 1853, when the
North American Company's lease ex-
pred and about the London quotations

AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS

There will never be better time
for teachers of the rural schools to
introduce the elements of agriculture
into their schools than now. Any ru-
raj school may provide the necessary
paraphernalia with little or no ex-
pense and the pupils may be interest
ed and preparations made for the
school garden this spring.
The argument that many teachers
do not understand practical agricul-
ture sufficiently to make the subject
interesting is not necessarily true.
Any resourceful teacher who is her
self interested in rural life and prac-
teal ways of doing things should be
able to teach the elements of agricul-
ture successfully. Not many teachers
are we'll posted on anatomy and hy-
giene, yet most of them teach physi-
ology; few teachers have had an OPP
portunity to travel over the world
very extensively so that they may be-
come familiar with cities, lakes, riv-
ers and foreign countries, yet they
