The establishment of such a reading-room appeared to offer 

 the workmen opportunities of gaining knowledge so much 

 greater than they before possessed, that the Garden Committee 

 felt justified in revising the regulations for the admission of 

 young men into the Garden, and of raising the standard of their 

 qualification. After much consideration the following rules 

 were drawn up, and having received the sanction of the Council, 

 have now been in operation since March 1.
