Abstract
THE American universities have been conspicuous in their pioneer additions of practical subjects to the university curriculum, and it is particularly interesting, therefore, that, as J. N. Darling, Chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, describes in a paper in the September issue of Scientific American, 30,000 dollars for an endowment fund for five years has been offered by an anonymous U.S. arms' manufacturer to the Biological Survey for wild-life restoration and administration training at several of the State universities. It has been announced that several State universities are to set up courses in game management with the active support of the Bureau of Biological Survey, which will supply instructors and contribute 42,000 dollars; State and game conservation organisations will also combine in the scheme, and original research in wild-life subjects will be incorporated in the training course, as is done with the forestry training.
