his warning to the legislature, the bill pro- 

 posed to appropriate the money, about $200,- 

 000, in a lump sum instead of by items. His 

 veto cuts off all provision for the expense of 

 legislative printing this year. The Geneva 

 and Cornell experiment stations have had 

 about $60,000 apiece yearly for the printing of 

 reports and bulletins, and this money has been 

 appropriated under the head of legislative 

 printing. Reports of all state institutions have 

 been covered under that head. Bulletins such 

 as the agricultural experiment stations have 

 issued throughout the year for the information 

 of farmers have been officially regarded as 

 anticipating parts of the annual reports of the 

 stations. Part I. of the annual report of the 

 college has comprised the report itself and 

 technical bulletins ; Part II. has been made up 

 of the matter intended for popular use, such as 

 bulletins of general value and the reading 

 course lessons of the year.

 professors and other members of the staff, took 

 them round the institution. Mr. Acland re- 



ferred to the memorial which has just been 

 presented to Lord Crewe by the professors of 

 the college, urging the importance of securing 

 that a larger proportion of young men in this 

 country should be trained in scientific meth- 

 ods with a view to industrial research. The 

 suggestion is that a grant of a quarter or half 

 a million pounds, in addition to the quarter of 

 a million (as against Germany's million and 

 a half) which the state annually grants to the 

 universities might profitably be used to provide 

 an adequate number of bursaries for second- 

 ary-school boys of 16 to 18 years of age, to be 

 followed by the offer of government scholar- 

 ships tenable at a university.
