HARVARD PROBES BAD SPELLING

A committee of the Harvard faculty is engaged in
devsing means to improve the spelling and English
composition of students. If the worthy professors
accomplish their purpose they will do the world
vastly more good than if they were to discover an
unlisted comet or bring to light an unknown bug.
Educators seem to be convincing themselves that
they have not been devoting enough time, or per-
haps have not been devoting limited time properly
to the training OF school children in spelling and
composition. Even at Harvard, where the atten-
tons OF professors and students are fixed on high
and lofty things, imperfectons in the written work

SOMETHING TO THINK ON

SOMETHING TO THINK ON
In looking UP a certain thing
lit Is well to take into considera-
ton all things pertaining to it
and also those things that might
be related, indirectly or other
wise.
Not SO long ago the Chinese
pheasant out in the Valley were
very scarce and while they are
not so plentiful now as they
were once yet they have gained
in numbers.
To what is the growth in num-
bers due?
1t is due to a LAW protecting
them. Very well. Now, why
not put a law of the same kind
protecting other game? 1t has
been done. Yet there are a few
things forgotten that it would
be well to look into. For in
stance, the fish of our state, or
to be more definate, the fish of
our streams in Lincoln county.
1t is shown by records kept that
the larger part of salmon re-
turn to the place where they
ere hatched. Now, to change
a little from the regular thing
read this:
Take, for instance, the num-
Der of fish caught on Yaquina
Bay. Is there any way of get
ting at the exact number? And
what becomes of all the eggs,
may ask? Are they of any
good as regards to the purpose
for which nature intended them?
Most certainly not. Some of
them are used for fish bait, but
not all, and if all were used it
would not help the salmon any.
Now. what | would like to say
is this: Suppose 0e, as the peo-
pie Of Lincoln county, do get
together and cause a law to be
passed by our state or county
that there shall he no more sal
mon caught by either hook or
net on or in the waters of Lin
coin county and that it shall re-
main in effect for a period of
four (4) years; and also in con-
nection, ask the State to put in
full operation tie hatchery on
the Elk river, and that we, as
the people, will do all we can to
help-not hinder-such an act.
Would not such an act or law be
just as "Just" in respect to the
salmon as to anything else?
l ask this question of any and
all who have at heart the de-
velopment of the fishing indus
try on Yaquina Bay:
Why the four (4) years pro-
lection, will now be asked? The
salmon en- the Yaquina river, in
particular, have grown less and
less in the last few years, there
fore | say four (D years to let
them gain in numbers again and
also to give the hatchery a
chance to act along with the
help of nature. Also it should
be taken into consideration the
fact that it would be necessary
to keep careful" watch that no
person or persons disturb the
salmon when spa wning in the
shallow waters of the rivers and
creeks. Also that the dead fish
be let alone as much as possible
for they are natures food to the
young salmon.
| think this is hint enough.
Somebody take The matter up.
A Reader.
