Empire Trade and Industry Committee. 51 



Mr. Herbert Grarrison, F.R.Gr.S., Official Lecturer of the Institute, has devoted 

 most of his life to studying the British Empire, travelling over it and lecturing upon 

 it. He has lectured with marked success throughout the United Kingdom to large 

 audiences of the general public as well as to leading societies, educational institutions, 

 and colleges. The lectures have been actively supported by influential committees 

 in the various centres, and the Council have received many letters of thanks and 

 appreciation. Mr. Garrison has now given some 300 lectures for the Institute. 



Members of the Council and several other Fellows of the Institute have assisted 

 in promoting this important work, and it is hoped that others will follow their example 

 by arranging for the delivery of lectures in their own particular districts.

1. " Our World-Wide Empire." 



2. " Outposts of the British Empire." 



3. " The Dominion of Canada." 



4. "The Commonwealth of Australia."

10. " Our Crown Colonies, Dependencies, and Protectorates." 



11. " Newfoimdland — Our oldest Colony." 



12. "British Possessions in the Mediterranean."

14. "British V/est Indies." 



15. "British Columbia." 



16. " Round the World on the King's Highway — the All-Red Route." 



All these lectures are illustrated by lantern slides from Mr. Garrison's own unique 

 collection. Some of the subjects are also illustrated by kinematograph films. The 

 Institute also possesses a collection of lantern slides illustrating the physical features, 

 industries, and public bixildings in various parts of the Empire, which are used to 

 illustrate lectures delivered under its auspices.
