 by 8 inches, and may be had on application to the Secretary, R.H.S., 

 Vincent Square, London, S.W. (price Qd. each), and signed by the head 

 master or mistress and a member of the education authority concerned. 

 The application should contain information as to [a) the nature of the 

 competition, (6) the number of competitors, (c) the judges, {d) the number
