 These figures are rather below the actual number of insti- 

 tutions represented, as in some cases collective exhibitors 

 did not specify the sources whence their individual exhibits 

 came. Group A, for instance, included certain schools 

 which strictly fall within groups B or C, the exhibits from 

 certain secondary and primary schools being included 

 amongst those sent by various county councils. 



The prehminary arrangements for the exhibition were in 

 the hands of a General Purposes Committee composed of Sir 

 John Cockburn, K.C.M.G. (Chairman), Dr. Kimmins, and 

 Messrs. A. G. Legard, T. G. Rooper, C. Savile Roundell, 

 A. T. Simmons, A. Taylor, R. Hedger Wallace, W. Mark 

 Webb, J. Martin White, and J. C. Medd (Hon. Sec).

Agriculture 



As was to be expected, much of the material shown in 

 this section dealt with agricultural teaching and processes,

 stance, exhibited collections " of natural objects bearing upon 

 agriculture " which entail outdoor observation and must be 

 submitted by students in connection with their examination 

 for the diploma.
