 1st August. There were eleven members present. Mr.

Three subsequent meetings were held during the year, 

 there being an average attendance of nine members. All 

 those who attended are directly engaged in the work of 

 Education. It may be pointed out that the subjects dis- 

 cussed are of general interest to all who have the cause of 

 Education at heart, and, therefore, any Member of the 

 Royal Society may follow and take part in the discussions. 

 It is to be hoped that the membership of this Section will 

 not be confined to schoolmasters.

 Herbartian theory of "Apperception" and "Many-sided 

 Interest. " The discussions were opened by the President, 

 the Secretary, and Mr. S. R. Dickinson, all the members
