CLASSES, VISIVORS Gow Al Sern: 
By ANDREW Scort. 
The desire for an opportunity of attending the classes 
shows no indication of abatement amongst the fishermen. 
There must still be a considerable number of men, dis- 
tributed over the various fishing centres, who have not 
yet had the good fortune to be selected by the local 
representatives. No doubt their time will come. Of 
course, as the time passes the fishing population receives 
fresh recruits from the younger generation. There is, 
therefore, little likelihood of the demand for the student- 
ships falling away so long as they continue to be offered. 
The Hducation Committee of the Lancashire County 
Council renewed the usual money grant which enabled 
forty-five fishermen, residing in the administrative 
County of Lancaster, to receive a course of instruction 
in Klementary Biology at Piel in 1908. The Cheshire 
Kducation Committee sent six men from Hoylake. The 
Blackpool Kducation Committee again sent three men. 
The Education Committee of Liverpool also allowed two 
studentships to be awarded. Altogether fifty-six men 
attended the classes held during the spring of 1908. The 
studentship holders were divided into four classes—two of 
fifteen each and two of thirteen as shown by the following
