No. 4 (I921) FISHERIES OF NORWAY 3I 



fisherman's paper par excellence. Its articles are frequently illus- 

 trated, always plainly and clearly worded, and with avoidance of 

 the jargon of the professional scientist; as a result the paper is 

 valued by fishermen and undoubtedly has a wide and beneficial 

 influence in the direction indicated by the designation of the 

 society. Its officials and the editorial committee are men of the 

 people and as such are able to appreciate and counter the preju- 

 dices of the fisher classes and their intense dislike of anything 

 that savours of patronage. The Norwegian is a plain man and if 

 met on an equality is willing to learn but he would rather remain 

 ignorant than be lectured by the superior person, particularly if he 

 suspects him to be an armchair scientist.
