In accordance with its usual custom, the society 

 arranged for six Somerville Lectures and six Saturday 

 Half-hour Talks to Children, and in addition a joint 

 committee of the Natural History Society and the Local 

 Council of Women planned thirty-four free illustrated 

 lectures, delivered at various points in the city and sub- 

 urbs, in the carrying out of which they were assisted 

 by the Arts and Handicrafts Guild, The Cooking School 

 of the Y.W.C.A., Ecole Menagere, The Pure Milk 

 League, The Tuberculosis League, The Victorian Order 

 of Nurses. At all these lectures and demonstrations, the 

 attendance was very satisfactory, and the interest elicited 

 of such a nature as to thoroughly justify the society in 

 continuing the work next year. The programme of these 

 lectures is here appended.
