The Photographic Section has held ten meetings 
during the year. They consisted of Lectures and 
Demonstrations on various subjects connected with - 
Photography, and proved of great interest to the 
members. The Annual Exhibition was held in 
December as usual, and was one of the best that 
has been arranged. The general standard of members’ _ 
work shown was above the average, and speaks well — 
for the progress the Section has made during the year. 
The Exhibition was open for two days, and was 
‘attended by a large number of visitors (see page 27.) 
_. The Christmas juvenile lectures, which were a 
new departure, were well attended, were evidently 
appreciated, and yielded a small profit to the funds 
of the Society (see page 29). 
With a view to encouraging the movement for the 
systematic training of children in the application of © 
_ scientific method to matters of every-day life, a course 
_ of lectures on Nature Study, with practical work, was 
_ organised, which it was hoped would be a guide to 
_ teachers and others in the method of conducting such © 
instruction. The syllabus will be found on page 28. 
_ The lectures were largely attended by teachers from 
elementary and secondary schools in the north and 
west of London, by parents and others. Much 
_ interest was shown, and the course was a financial 
success. A further course will be given in the coming 
Spring. The Council is indebted to Miss von Wyss

Hampstead (Northern Heights) Branch of the Selborne 
Society for kindly inviting the members of the 
Field Meetings.
