it is proposed to stock and say whether the water is suitable for the fish or not. They must seine out the coarse and useless fish and use their flesh for making good ratiOns for the fry, finger lingS and half-grOWn fish which are being reared in the hatch cries, nursery ponds, or sections of streams and lakes from which all enemy and competitor fish have been removed.
 They must estimate the kind, approximate the quantity and location of natural food so that fry and f1ngerlings may not be distributed in streams and lakes where they may starVe. They must know the kind and loca- tiOn and approximate number of competitor and enemy fish. They must be able to recognize water plants and water animals which have intimate food re- latiOnShip to each other and to fish; just as a farmer recogniz- es the relationship of the grains which he grows on his farm to the fattening of the animals which he sells on the market. Tn short, the work of the hatchery staffS is quite different from that of the field workers. The former rear fry and flngerlingS but no adult fish; the latter will rear no fry and f1ngerlings, but will aim at rearing them to adults.
 Different Duties
 Just because the two staffs have such different duties each must have a different kind of scientific and technical educa- tiOn. AS we know the Maritime hatchery StaffS, with the eXcep- tiOn of two, the men had only a public or common school edu- cation with no instruction in the sciences beyond what a high school boy of Is years could acquire in a few months. On the other hand, a field worker, if he is to perform the duties outlined above, must have had at least a four years course in the sciences at a university.
 It was because the hatchery staffs in Ontario were incapable Of 6OiNO accurate and rn1iah h1e
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-04-15

ard fingerlings in the hatchery by superior officers-for the most of these duties the present hatchery staff are qualified; but few if any of them are capable of taking up the duties of the field workers without a higher education.
 All that is required in learn ing the duties of a hatchery staff is a common school educa- ton. The Maritime hatchery StaffS have no systematic knoWl- edge of the sciences except what was imparted to them in two short courses of instruction of less than two weeks each at the Truro Agricultural College; and two other short courses of less than two weeks each at Dal- hOuSie University. Yet with this limited scientific and common school education they turned out vastly more fry and fingerlingS than the Department could rear into adult fish.
 Their work of turning out fry and f1ngerlings would be per fectly satisfactory if that were all that was required of them. But as everyone knows, matching fry and raising them to finger lingS and distributing them as has been done for sixty years past is only the beginning of fish culture. When the fate of these fry and f1ngerlings was followed in streams and lakes as MT. H. c. White of Aylmer, Ontario, MT. J. Roland Hayes of Halifax, NS, have done, it was found that they nearly all perished Many of them died because they had been placed in unsuitable water, many more were devOur- ed by enemies and even relatives and probably many were starv- ed.
 More Education Needed.
 It is at this point-the death of vast numbers of fry and fin gerlings that fish culture has broken down, and it is at this point, therefore, that the field workers must begin the work of saving the lives of fry and fin gerlings. Tn order to do this, they must go to all the streams and
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-04-15

instructions issued from the De- partment of Fisheries at TOrOn- to and Ottawa.
 If the hatchery staffs are to be held responsible because these fry and f1ngerlings have not grown into adults, they should have received instructions from officials higher up' as to how the task is to be accomplished. The statfs received no such in structions, evidently because the hatchery inspectors and other superior officers did not them selves know how to rear finger lingS into adult fish.
 Problem is How to Rear Fry Into
 Adults
 The big problem, therefore, in fish culture today is not the the production of more fry. The problem is to rear such a num- Der of fry and f1ngerlingS to half-grOWn or full-groWn fish as will pay for the cost of run ing the hatcherieS, and in addi- tion, add as many as possible to the catches of the fshermen.Ac- cording to the Biological Board it is doubtful whether this has ever been done in all the sixty years of hatchery work.
 How Is The Problem To Be
 Solved
 No one knows as yet, at any rate, no one knows in detail, but the scientific principles to be employed are all known, and can be utilized in the solution by any one who has been proper ly trained in physics, chemistry and biology. What is needed first of all is a second staff of work CTS, separate and distinct from the hatchery staffs, and to be known as field workers" To these field workers, the fry, fin gerlings 6 to inches long) should be transferred as soon as they have attained the differ ent sizes necessary for distribu- tion in streams and lakes of different sizes.

It is twenty-six years ago since Sir John Martin Harvey made his appearance on the stage in the role of Sidney Carton, the pathetic hero of "The Only Way" dramatic version of Charles Dickens i'm mortal story, "A Tale of Two Cities" at the Coliseum tonight.
 Ever since, this character has been his finest role and his last words at the foot of the guillotine are famed to the whole nation.
 "The Only Way" is recommend ed by competent critics and photo play experts to the attention of not only the enthusiastic picture goer, but all who are interested in art, literature, and the Dickens classics.

 And Dennis King, lately star of ziegfeld's Three Muskateers," now here to star in the singing screen version of his earlier success, "The vagabond King" apparently also believes in the maxim.
 Although he is skilled fencer, and in numerous romantic plays has practiced the science, he has placed himself under the tutelage of Fred Cavens, fencing instructor to numerous stars. And at King g request, Cavens is beginning him in the fundamentals of the sport Tt is so easy to grow stale, and there are so many fine points to be learned" quoth Dennis.
