Mr. S. F. Rous.—Public sport and school games (11.20). 
The necessity for accurate instruction in sport of every type—careful 
organisation required for this purpose. The same is true of school games 
where haphazard methods do more harm than good—a typical scheme of 
physical education working successfully in a large day secondary school. 
Dr. S. Lewis WALKER (11.40). 
Physical education for the older boy, i.e. 14 plus. Functions of muscles 
and joints. The action of flexors and extensors. Shortening of flexors and 
stretching of extensors due to occupation—consequent interference with 
freedom of movement of muscles and joints and the damage that arises 
from this in the growing boy. 
Value of knowledge of these facts to keep up a boy’s interest in physical 
development during the critical years 14 to 17. 
Demonstration of co-ordination exercises suitable for boys of 14 plus. 
DISCUSSION (12.0).

Rt. Hon. Lord Hastincs.—A Jlandowner’s view of state control of 
agriculture (11.0). 
Dr. R. McG. CarsLaw.—Recent changes in the organisation of farms 
in the Eastern Counties (11.20). 
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the very marked adjust- 
ments to farm organisation which have recently been made in this arable 
area. Emphasis is laid on the economic rather than on the technical 
aspects of these adjustments, which may be grouped under two main 
headings, viz. (1) changes in types of production, and (2) changes in methods 
of production. 
The stimulus to change in farm organisation arises from variations in 
price and cost levels. Recent fluctuations in these are traced, and their 
unequal distribution stressed. Examination of the official agricultural
