     Many universities now offer professionl training in wildlife work. 
 
Xanr young men awe seeking avicoe on how sad ihore such training is to be
had, 
 
and how to prepare themselves for it. 
 
     As in any new field, there is vwdepread. confusion In finding terso
for 
 
comparing schools and for wiparting avio to those who ask for it. 
 
     The Wildlife  ociety offers this attempt, by a committee of praotioing

 
wildlife speoialists, to define what oonstituteso aioqnte training for the

 
practioe of their profession. 
 
 
     Wildlife education has tw functions: (1) to teach a few men to soke
a 
 
living  y waning wildlife; (2) to teach the whole bodyt of ettlss to appreciate

 
and nderstana wildlife. 
 
     there ti at present a regrettable neglect of the second function. too

 
an sen want to eo a living by managing wildlifoe too few to bend other 
 
vocations to its needs. 
 
     Aneag these wh are to make a living from wildlife, there are different

 
levels of training. The warien or -farmer' of   Uldlife crops reuires lees

 
training than the professioeal, who can appraise methods of ecrpping and
onaduct 
 
research for new method. Here again there is a regrettable neglect of the

 
former, i.e., vcationalo , level. Too few schools offer good Instrution in
the 
 
mammal skills of wildlife n    -agement; too x offer indifforent training
in 
 
the wildlife science and research.
