Salisbury Wants
A Fish Hatchery

Salisbury, Md, Dec. 2S-Salisbury
is making bid for the establishment
in this city of a fish hatchery fol-
the propagation of bass, trout and
game fish of like character for the
purpose of stocking the ponds and
rivers in this section of the State.
Many species of fish that formerly ex
listed in the streams of the Eastern
Shore are rapidly becoming extinct
it is said and by this means it is
hoped to repIenish the stocks.
That such a project is feasible and
will. if adopted give good results is
evident from the success resulting
from the stocking of the water in
this section with black bass a few
years ago. These have multiplied
manifold and today furnish great
deal of sport to the fishermen, be-
side providing nutritious and
valuable food Bass weighing from
5 to IL pounds have been caught in
the Wieomico river.
BY the stocking of streams with
trout and other fish, it is believed by
those encouraging the project that
the water could be developed into
valuable fishing grounds. 1t is un-
derstood that site for the hatchery
is under consideration, and if it can
be obtained on proper basis, the en-
terprise will soon be in operation.

Are COLLEGE DEGREES
ASSETS OR LIABILITIES?
Educators Discuss Employment De
partnent Head Structures.

Washington. Dec Is Capital
News Service) THE Director of the
District of Columbia Public Employ
ment Department has published sta
tisticS showing that comparatively
few college men who apply for posi-
lions are capable of earning more
than ten or twelve dollars a week,
and that employers prefer nondegree
men for clerical work.
1T is almost impossible to place
college graduate in position owing
to the lack Of qualifications needed
in the business and industrial world
to-day" said the director These
applicants want executive positions
for which they are not fitted and
which are very few.
'On the ether hand, the employers
don't want college graduates. They
state that employees of this kind are
untitled for the work and are always
expecting increases, which they are
not deserving. They are very unsat-
isfactory and it is a rarity that they
last any length OF time"
Records of a week show that more
than 100 persons the department was
unable to place had received degrees
from some of the most prominent
colleges in the country. The few
whom the department Accommodated
accepted positions of clerical ma
tura at salaries beginning at SIS a
week Applications with business
or technical training and those will
ing to accept laboring or domestic
positions were quickly placed.
Educators who discuss the report
say that the fault is not with the col
lcge or the degrees, but the man.
They contend that college degree is
an indication Of it's poSSessor haV-
ing spent a certain amount Of time,
a1d obtained a certain number OF
scholastic credits by acquiring GER
tain amount of knowledge, but not
necessarily knowledge desired by
business houses in employing clerks.
1t was suggested by one authority
that the most expert bookkeepers,
typist and stenographer in the world
would not be worth five dollars a
week as doctor, a lawyer, chem
ist,. OF an engineer. why. then,'
he continued "blame the colleges
which prepare a man, at his own re-
guest, for academic and philosophical
pursuit, because his knowledge is not
that desired by those who would EN-
ploy bookkeepers and stenographers?
The fault. contend the educators is
in lie sending of boys and girls to
college to study abstract subjects
when in future they will have to
earn their living by practical effort,
and not in the college which does but
give to it's customers the goods they
demand. There are plenty of insti-
tutions teaching the art of making
living, it is pointed out, for those
who wish to put in their college
years in preparation for money max
ing.
