3. The sphere of work thus falling to the Board of Agriculture 

 and Fisheries will comprise institutions of two types: 



a) Those whose predominant purpose and work it is to 

 provide comprehensive courses of Agricultural instruction of an 

 advanced nature, of which the proper benefits can only be received 

 by students who, on admission, have received a satisfactory general 

 education, whole-time, up to the age of 17 (or thereabouts) or 

 later, or who have otherwise obtained a preliminary education of a 

 similar standard. Each such institution should serve more, usually 

 considerably more, than one Local Education Authority's area. 



b) Institutions restricted to one special section of Agricultural 

 Instruction (e. g. Forestry, Dairying, Cider-making), the main pur- 

 pose of which is to provide a course of specialised teaching in 

 that subject on such a plane as will equip those who pass satis- 

 factorily through it to be competent Instructors in that section of 

 Agricultural work in Agricultural Institutions or as local Instructors 

 in all parts of the country. 



Government grants will thus be paid by the Board of Agricul- 

 ture and Fisheries in respect of their agricultural work to the fol- 

 lowing Institutions, and to such others as may in future be found 

 to be of a similar character or on the same educational plane: 



University College of North Wales, Bangor. 



University of Leeds. 



Armstrong College, Newcastle-on-Tyne, 



University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, 



University ot Cambridge.

4. While the special functions of the Board of Agriculture will, 

 as above shown, be to deal with and to influence the Agricultural 

 Colleges and other independent Institutions named in the foregoing
