The usual votes of thanks to the Sea Fisheries 

 Committee and to the Education Committee were 

 proposed and carried by the fishermen. 



The classes for fishermen are now registered by the 

 Board of Education as evening classes, and each of the 

 above classes was inspected by Mr. M. A. Fenton, one of 

 the Government Inspectors. Mr. Fenton's report was as 

 follows : — 



" Demonstrations from the blackboard and abun- 



" dant individual instruction constitute the teaching 



" referred to. The men manipulate admirably, and 



" seem to apply themselves so as to receive as much 



" attention as is to be obtained in their fortnight." 



A class in Nature Study for school teachers was held 



on two week nights and the Saturday afternoons during 



the period covered by the third and fourth classes for 



fishermen. This class was organised by the Barrow 



Education Committee, and was attended by eighteen 



teachers belonging to their schools. The teachers' class 



is also recognised by the Board of Education, and 



registered as an evening school. The following is a copy 



of the report on the class which was sent to the Barrovf 



Education Committee: —
