CONCLUSION 557 
modeled on right lines. There are town gun clubs, 
which are members of the County Game Protective As- 
sociation, and these County Game Associations choose 
delegates who are members of the executive council 
of the central State Game Protective body. The town 
gun clubs are active and especially interested in their 
own especial territory. The occasional meetings held 
where all the towns of the country are represented, 
keep up this interest, and when the county delegates 
attend the meetings of the State Association they are 
able to report intelligently on what is taking place and 
on what should be done. If every State in the Union 
had such.an organization, and if every State from time 
to time chose delegates to a central association which 
represented the English-speaking race on the conti- 
nent, matters would go forward much more rapidly, 
and much more would be accomplished than at present. 
Another thing that works against the sportsmen is 
that they have no method of communication with each 
other. The means are at their hand in the various 
sportsmen’s journals, but only a small proportion of the 
great number of gunners in thelandread these journals. 
If they were read by most sportsmen, who thus kept 
themselves informed as to what legislation is on foot 
and what other sportsmen are doing, intelligent action 
could be taken by a large body of men on the measures 
which should be taken to increase our stock of game. 
Sportsmen would then be acting together as one body, 
and many of the problems which now trouble us would 
have been solved.
