In addition to the courses outlined under C and D, research 

 in some special line should always be considered essential. 



77. Short Courses. 



Certain agricultural colleges now offer short courses for students 

 unable to devote a full year to study. The entrance requirements 

 are usually low, or entirely lacking, and the type of student is often 

 below the average educationally. Nevertheless, these short 

 courses are working towards better agriculture and, in the opinion 

 of the committee, similar courses in fish culture would raise the 

 standard of fish culturists and at the same time make the younger 

 men more quickly available. 



It is therefore recommended that short courses in the following 

 subjects be given in those universities now offering short courses in 

 agriculture. 



Subjects for a Twelve Weeks' Course in Fish Culture. 



Principles of Fish Culture. 



Fish Life. 



Forage Organisms. 



Fish Feeding. 



Fish Breeding. 



Fish Diseases. 



777. Practical Work in Fish Culture. 



There are probably few universities so situated as to be able to 

 maintain plants for fish production large enough to give the 

 student the necessary practical work. It will therefore be neces- 

 sary for state, national and private commercial hatcheries to 

 co-operate with the universities to the extent of furnishing employ- 

 ment to students for a part of the year at least.
