[January, 1912. 



owing to the appointment in the first 

 instance of comparatively junior men. 



5. The men employed on advisory 

 work may be allowed to do a certain 

 amount of teaching in consideration of 

 the fact that they may possess ex- 

 ceptional knowledge of certain subjects ; 

 but inasmuch as their principal duties 

 will be to carry on the advisory and 

 investigation work for which the grant 

 is made, the Institution will be required 

 to see that teaching does not absorb 

 any undue amount of time, and that 

 equivalent assistance is given to them 

 by other members of the staff. 



6. In view of the fact that the 

 Agricultural Departments and Colleges 

 are intended to provide information, 

 when necessary, for the County Agri- 

 cultural Staffs, some assistance from 

 Local Education Authorities may be 

 anticipated, and in fixing the grants to 

 be paid to Institutions the Board will 

 have regard to any evidence, such as 

 grants-in-aid promised by counties, in- 

 dicating that the advisory work under- 

 taken by the Institutions is appreciated 

 locally. 



7. Each ( Institution in receipt of a 

 grant from this fund will be expected 

 to undertake the advisory work in a 

 group of counties. While it will not be 

 required to investigate problems arising 

 outside its area, it will be expected to 

 assist, by advice, any County Instructor 

 from another district who may apply 

 for information. 



8. Members of the Advisory Staff of 

 an Institution in receipt of a grant will 

 be expected to act as Correspondents of 

 the Board for their district.
