regulated kIl.   hooraetially ti principle ws    s  tible of exteosio 
to natural restocking, by f rmers, but I know of only one preserve (Rilq)

which gro in that direction. Most preserves, lik   Top, just grw u, 
without leadership or direction from administrators. hey rew in the 
direction of greater rather than lesser artificiality; on most preserves

today the birds are put out Just shoa of the gus. Seldom are the farmers

full partners in the enterpise. Administrators now do not like the child

they failed to train. 
I met admit, though, that hs is not the whole story. Te 
exossive lesAikae of brds forced late liberation, and late liberation Is

necessarily artificial. Moreover on proserves, as elsewhere, mot faruo 
laak the wildlife cropping tradition. 
4, 5. T      M.    L       s.    he exansion of professional 
education and research is &lst a      fairy tale. In 1930 vs had perhaps
a 
dosen ftll-tme man building up technique. Today we have a professional 
sooietY of TOO ambers, and about fifteen schools. 1, for one, think aa 
overproduction is ineaing. ?he Wildlife Society is Just now issuing 
a statement urigng stiffer training for tewer man, and calling attention

to the fact that schools with ambitions in conservation have one Job which

can never be overdone: training citizens to know shat conservation is. 
What quality of on are ve producing? At what levels of scholar 
ship ad statesmanship will thae work? It is too early to be sure, but t 
am hopeful. I could defend some of their recent output in any tribuiml of

scieno. I am awosd, h        , by *e fast that not even the best wildlfe

research Is yet actepted as cience by the majority of scientsts. If you 
need proof of this, let me ream you that no r       elar  scientifie founda-

tion has ever, to s knowledge, onatributed one red copper to wildlife 
research.
