5. Cost oi-^ Publications: (hi account of the restricted 

 revenue of the Association, consequent ttpon the reduction of 

 the number of Members, it was decided by the Council during 

 the last Annual Session at Pretoria, to limit the expenditure on 

 the printing- of The Transactions of that Session to £300 nett, 

 that is to say. exclusive of any revenue that might be derived 

 from the sale of publications, or from outside contrilnutions to 

 the cost of printing. A generous contribution of £100 was sub- 

 sequently made by the Witwatersrand Council of Education 

 towards the cost of iiublishing the Association's Transactions, 

 and your Council has thus been enabled to print man\' papers 

 which it would otherwise have been impossible to ]jublish. The 

 hearty thanks of }Our Council were duly conveyed to the Council 

 of Education.
