V. — Rrport on Agricultural Education : — a Summarg. 
Herbert J. Little, Coldham Hall, Wisbech. 
The Royal Commission to inquire into " technical instruction,"' 
issued in 1881, concluded its labours in 1883. Not, however, 
until 1884 were the Blue-books which contain a summary of 
its work given to the public. 
The Royal Mandate states that " it is deemed expedient 
that a Commission should forthwith issue to inquire into the 
instruction of the industrial classes of certain foreign countries 
in technical and other subjects, for the purpose of comparison 
with that of the corresponding classes in this country, and into 
the influence of such instruction on manufacturing and other 
industries at home and abroad." 
In pursuance of this olijcct tlie Commissioners entrusted the 
whole inquiry into Agricultural lOducation to Mr. II. M. .Jenkins, 
appointing him a sub-commissioner, and instructing him to 
furnish them with a Report on the teaching of Agriculture
