375 



and the members of his family, employs throughout the year 

 at least one workman in agriculture. 



Closely connected with this question is that of the liability 

 of the employer to the casual labourer in agriculture, and the 

 Committee have come to the conclusion that the Act should 

 not apply to casual labour. The difficulty, however, is to find 

 a satisfactory definition of casual labour. If the workman is 

 engaged by the week or any longer period, the labour, in the 

 opinion of the Committee, is not casual. If he is engaged 

 by the day or hour, or for a particular job, the labour should 

 be considered to be casual, and the liability should not attach 

 unless it is intended that the employment should be of 

 permanent character. 



In the report on the progress of the Ordnance Survey for 1903-4 

 it is mentioned that a new departure was made in the past year 

 which renders the Ordnance Survey maps 

 Ordnance^SuPvey more available for educational purposes, 

 for Schools. At the instance of the Geographical Asso- 

 ciation arrangements have been made, with 

 the consent of the Treasury, for the issue to schools of a special 

 edition of the maps, on the scale of six inches to . a mile and 

 smaller scales, at a very low price, with the view of promoting geo- 

 graphical education. These maps are issued in editions of not 

 less than 200, on a written undertaking from the head-master, 

 or other responsible representative of the school, that they will be 

 used for educational purposes only in the school. Over 46,000 

 of these maps were supplied in 1903-4. It is hoped that the use 

 of these maps will conduce to improve geographical education, 

 while they help to make the Ordnance Survey maps better 

 known. Forms of application and further particulars can be 

 obtained from the Director General of the Ordnance Survey, 

 Southampton.
