University. 
(3) An extensive series of evening olasses on

forestry—these classes being held in the 3 
sity, Royal (Dick) Veterinary College, and Royal 
Botanic Garden. 
The complete course aims at fitting a young 
man to enter with intelligence into his work as 
a farmer, a gardener, or a forester. It should 
enable him to understand the greater part of 
the work that he will see in practice, and to 
study for himself any special subject that he 
may afterwards find to be of importance to him. 
The course is also well adapted for those to be 
engaged or interested in the management of 
landed property, 
Numerous and varied evening classes are pro- 
vided in the Heriot-Watt College and the Royal 
Botanic Garden for those who are otherwise 
engaged during the day.

held this year from July 29 till August 23. The 
attendance at these is free to selected school-
