INQUIRED if the committee had asked
data on the education, training ana ex-

DR.. Putnam explained that no spe-
cific request for this reference material
had been made But" he continued,
"it was available in print for adminis-
trative use and was supplied as lnolca-

1T is to this record, presumably
that the circular letter OF the COM
mittee referred in suggesting that a
proper conception Of the education ana

best be had by an examination OF the
qualifications of the present stan.
That phrase in the letter, and Two
others-that persons recommended 10

wish to impair the efficiency of this

Some States Below Quotas.
AS to geographical appointment, DR.
Putnam said, THE law says nothing
as to that. In our practice, however,
it is regarded, preference being given
to applicants of equal qualifications
from the regions thus far less repre-
sented. The result is about the same
relative proportions as exist In the
classified service at Washington. with
the usual excess from Virginia, Mary
land and the District of Columbia, snd
for the same reasons; a slight excess
from States where library training Is
to be had or experience in some re-
search library; about the average quota
for most of the States; and marked
deficiency in the case of a few-for In
stance, California, Texas, Oklahoma,
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wis
consin and New York-even where both
training and experience are available.
I asked, Are you expecting to make
any considerable number OF appoint

BIG GAME HUNTING
WITH BOW, ARROW

The bow and arrow as a weapon
for big game hunting as in the
days before the white man took
possession of these lands may be
restored to Minnesota.
The first step in such move
was taken by the Conservation
Commission at it's last meeting
when it instructed E. V. Willard,
Acting Conservation Commissioner,
to request an opinion of the At
torney General as to what author
ity the Commission has to set aside
and open up for hunting of deer
by bow and arrow within certain
specified areas.
If the opinion Of the Attorney
General is favorable, it is believed
the Commission will take action
to make such hunting legal with
in certain areas, bringing to reali-
cation the dream of devotees of
that sport.
