BIOLOGICAL TEACHING IN ESSEX. 



I am very pleased to announce that the Technical Instruction 

 Committee of the Essex County Council are inaugurating for the 

 Session 1892-3, a system of Practical Biological Instruction, by 

 or under the direction of Mr. David Houston, F.L.S., Staff Teacher 

 in Biology to the County Council. 



In addition to Pioneer Lectures and Demonstrations, and 

 local classes for the study of plant and animal life, the two 

 following County Classes will be carried on. The course of 

 instruction will be systematic and practical, and they present a 

 golden opportunity for those residents in Essex wishing to com- 

 mence the study of Biology, whether as a branch of technical 

 instruction bearing on their several employments, or with a view 

 of teaching in the county. The Classes at present sanctioned are : 



I. A Class for Practical Instruction in Botany as applied to 



Agriculture and Horticulture (limited to fifteen), to be 

 held in Chelmsford on Mondays, from eleven to three or 

 four o'clock. 



II. A County Normal Class for Practical Instruction of 



Elementary Botanical Teachers desirous of working 

 under the County Council, to be held in the Labora- 

 tory of the Birkbeck Institution, London, on Saturday 

 mornings. 



In both classes microscopes and other apparatus and materials 

 will be provided ; and the third class railway fare of selected students 

 to and from Chelmsford and London will be paid.
