 hand class, has been appointed Government shorthand writer 

 at Perth, W.A. 



Mr. C. Y. Wardrop has been appointed instructor in the 

 newly-formed classes in carving and modelling. 



The number of students enrolled for the second term 

 showed a good increase on those enrolled for the first, and 

 also an increase on those for the corresponding term last year. 

 The improvement is most marked in chemistry. 



The photographic club are carrying out a series of 

 Saturday evening entertainments during the winter. The 

 first took place on June 23rd, but the attendance was small 

 owing to the inclemency of the weather. 



University Extension. The council of the College is 

 endeavouring to do its share in the effort to revive the system 

 of University Extension lectures in the town, and it has 

 offered the use of the hall for the purpose at a low rate. 



On May 26th Mr. G. F. Sydenham, of Colac, gave a lecture 

 in the town hall on the Otway Forest and its resources, in 

 aid of the college. This was a highly interesting lecture, but 

 the unpropitious weather prevented this also from being a 

 financial success 



During the term five fresh periodicals have been added 

 to the reading room, making a total of 37. The room is well 

 patronised by the students of the College.
