These classes are not intended for local students only. Any 

 Farmer or Farmer's son in the State of Victoria may 

 attend. 



Arrangements have been made with the Railway Department 

 that return tickets available for one month will be issued 

 to those travelling to attend the classes at Holiday 

 Excursion Fares. 



Such tickets will be obtainable on presenting a Certificate to the 

 Station Master, signed by the Secretary for Agriculture, 

 stating that the passenger is a student proceeding to 

 attend a course of instruction at one of the centres. 



The Secretaries of Agricultural Societies will prepare a li of 

 respectable and comfortable lodgings. 



Intending students should consequently correspond with the 

 Secretaries of Agricultural Societies regarding rooms. 



A comfortable room with Board can be had for 17s. to £1 

 a week in each centre. 



During the course at Geelong instruction will be given in 

 Analytical chemistry and Wool-sorting for three hours in 

 the forenoon, viz. : — from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., during five days 

 in the week. This addition to the Course is for the 

 purpose of occupying the whole time of the students who 

 come from a distance and lodge in the town. Con- 

 sequently those who attend from other parts of the State 

 should select Geelong. 



As accommodation is limited for Analytical work and Wool- 

 sorting, preference will be given : Firstly, to students 

 coming from a distance ; and secondly, to those who 

 travel to Geelong daily by train. 



A charge of 6s. will be made for chemical apparatus, payable 

 only by students who take the class in Analytical 

 chemistry.
