on the subject of these examinations 
from Dr. Dobbie, of the Bangor 
University College, and a resolution 
passed by the Agricultural Committee 
of the Bangor College as to the 
establishment of Intermediate Scho- 
larships. Tlie Committee did not 
propose any immediate change in the 
Society's system of examinations ; but 
they thought it would be well that, 
when the proposals of the various 
County Councils as to technical edu- 
cation had taken a more definite 
shape, a conference should be con- 
vened between the Committee and 
representatives of the various teaching 
institutions to consider what changes, 
if any, were desirable in the Society's 
examinations, in order to fit in with 
the teaching given for the examina- 
tions of other bodies. The subject of 
the preparation of text-books in 
agriculture for the use of elementary 
schools had been discussed, and it 
had been eventually resolved that a

Mr. De Laune, Mr. Pidgeon, Mr. 
Sutton, and Mr. Whitehead, should be 
appointed to consider the whole sub-
