II.— REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF THE 



NINETEENTH EXAMINATION FOR THE NATIONAL 



DIPLOMA IN DAIRYING, 1914. 



1. The Nineteenth Annual Examination for the National 

 Diploma in the Science and Practice of Dairying took place in 

 September, 1914. The Examination was held for English 

 candidates at the University College and British Dairy Institute, 

 Reading, from September 12 to 18 ; and for Scottish candi- 

 dates at the Dairy School for Scotland, Kilmarnock, from 

 September 18 to 26. 



2. Under a regulation which came into operation for the 

 first time this year, each candidate for the Examination was 

 required to produce " evidence that he or she had spent at least 

 four months on an approved Dairy farm and that he or she had 

 taken part in the work." This requirement has doubtless been 

 responsible for the raising of the standard of efficiency in the 

 practical part of the Examination as compared with previous 

 years. 



3. At the English Centre thirty-four candidates presented 

 themselves. Of these the following twenty-one satisfied the 

 Examiners, and have therefore been awarded the National 

 Diploma in the Science and Practice of Dairying : —
