392 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



WISLEY SCHOOL OF HORTICULTURE. 



Many students have been granted leave of absence during the past 

 year in order that they might join the forces. Only students ineligible 

 for military service are now in attendance, and of the seven who 

 completed their two years' course during the year all but one (rejected 

 on medical grounds) have enlisted. The course of instruction remains 

 as in former years, except that a series of practical lessons on land- 

 measuring have been added. Mr. John Fraser, F.L.S., acted as 

 external co-examiner with the Staff of the School for the School 

 Diploma Examination. All those who entered gained the Diploma, 

 which depends partly upon work done during the two years' course 

 and partly upon the results of practical and written examinations 

 in both principles and operations of horticulture. Their names in 

 order of merit are : 



1. Mr. L. C. Edwards. 5. Mr. A. Whiteley. 



2. Mr. H. J. Barker. 6. Mr. W. H. Streeter. 



3. Mr. E. A. Garrett. 7. Mr. W. C. Croom. 



4. Mr. A. T. Rudge. 8. Mr. F. H. V. Wood. 



Fifteen students passed the Society's General Examination in 

 March 1915. The following prizes (books) were awarded on the 

 result of the Diploma Examination : 



Prizes of the value of 25s., 17s. 6d., 155., and 12s. 6d. to Messrs. 

 Edwards, Barker, Garrett, and Rudge respectively. 



" Nicholson " Prize, of the value of £2 25., for observations on
