of Trade examination for certificates as second hand or 
skipper of a fishing vessel, and also, if any of them

tion and secured certificates. This further success of the 
Navigation course led Dr. Jenkins to suggest that two 
similar classes should be held in 1911, and this sugges- 
tion has been adopted. 
The usual thanks to the Sea-Fisheries Committee 
and to the various Hducation Committees who granted 
the studentships were given by the fishermen attending 
each class. 
Classes for first, second and third year courses in 
Nature Study for school teachers were carried on 
simultaneously during the month of April. These 
classes were organised by the Barrow Education Com- 
mittee with the permission of the Chairman of the Sea- 
Fisheries Scientific Sub-Committee. They were 
attended by twenty-three teachers from the schools in 
Barrow. The classes met in the evenings during the 
week, and on two Saturday afternoons. 
The annual visit of inspection of the classes by the 
Members of the Sea-Fisheries Committee and of the 
various Iiducation Committees of the County took 
place on April 27th. Short addresses dealing with the 
educational work of the Committee were given by 
some of the visitors. The Members of the North 
Lonsdale Naturalists’ Field Club, Ulverston, and several 
of the Barrow rambling clubs paid visits to the laboratory 
on the Saturday afternoons during March and April,
