Association, which is a guaranty that the fish are handled in a clean, 
sanitary manner and that they are properly and neatly pac ‘ked and that 
the finished product is of a high grade. The, individual packer can go 
as far beyond the standard set by the inspection as he pleases, both as 
to the quality of the oil and the care and skill used in cooking and 
packing. For that reason the people should learn to distinguish 
between the brands and determine, each for himself, which suits him 
best, for there are many brands and many different styles of pack. 
Respectfully submitted.

GeNTLEMEN: We have the honor to submit herewith the second 
biennial report of the Bureau of Education, Publicity and Research, 
covering the pericd from July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1918.

bury wild life films. It seemed fit that the commission should own the 
only set of these films in the state since it was so largely concerned in 
their promotion in 1914. The films continue to be popular and they 
have been widely used. They have proved especially valuable in the 
educational work carried on in the high schools of the state. In most 
instances the films have been,accompanied by a lecturer who explained 
the pictures and emphasized wild life conservation. The films, with 
lecture, are furnished free of charge to organizations or schools, pro-

bureau has on several occasions made extensive trips, showing these 
films at different places each day. 
Lectures. 
In addition to the lectures given with the films, nearly one hundred 
lectures, illustrated with lantern slides, have been delivered. Many 
organizations have availed themselves of the opportunity to obtain 
dependable information on California wild life. The title of the lecture 
most often given was ‘‘Methods of Wild Life Conservation.’’ 
_ Exclusive of regular courses of lectures at the university, over 26,000 
persons have heard a conservation message as a result of our lecture
