4. Jamaica Scholarship. — Letter from Schools Commission re Ja- 

 maica Scholarship. Mr. Cousins' memo re proposed alteration in 

 Jamaica Scholarship with criticisms of the Superintending In- 

 spector of Schools and the Archbishop were also read. 



After discussion the Archbishop moved that — 



" In the opinion of the Board of Agriculture it is undesirable to 

 allocate the Jamaica Scholarship every third year for agriculture, 

 that a more efficient stimulus of general agricultural education 

 might be effected on the following lines as indicated more fully in 

 the correspondence, each of the Scholarships to be available an- 

 nually : — 



1. The restriction of the Jamaica Scholarship to as low a point 

 as is consistent with making it really available for the purposes 

 of various classes of students. 



2. The appropriation of the remainder of the available money 

 for an Agricultural Scholarship tenable for two or three years at 

 an Agricultural College abroad to be awarded upon the Diploma 

 Examination of the Board of Agriculture." This was unanimous- 

 ly agreed to. 



School Chart. — His Grace the Archbishop brought forward a mat- 

 ter which had been discussed at the Board before and which had 

 been in hand for nearly two years. This was a list of "Agri- 

 cultural Dont's" prepared by Mr. E. J. Wortley in conjunction 

 with Messrs. Hicks and MacFarlane, to form a chart to be hung 

 up in schools and be repeated over twice a week by scholars. 

 The Secretary was instructed to get copies of this typed and sent 

 to each member of the Board who were asked to make any sug- 

 gestions. 



Mr. S. Olivier. — A letter of acknowledgement from Mr. Sydney 

 Olivier re the Locked Still matter was directed to be circulated. 



Cotton. — A letter from Mr. G. Musgrove, Jackson, Mississippi, 

 in reply to the Secretary's letter sending him a sample of cotton 

 was submitted and directed to be circulated.
