Report of the Education Committee, 1894 . 
12. Richard Henry Evans, Llecheiddior Mill, Garn, R.S.O., 
Carnarvon. 
13. Alexander George Gibson, University College of Wales, 
Aberystwyth. 
14. William George Rumbold, 22 Great George Street, West- 
minster, S.W. 
15. Thomas Whiting, University College of Wales, Aberyst- 
wyth. 
4. Of the compulsory subjects, there were three failures in 
Agriculture, ten in Chemistry, eight in Book-keeping, ten in Land 
Surveying, and twelve in Agricultural Engineering. Of the 
optional subjects, there were ten failures in Botany, one failure in 
Geology, nine failures in Anatomy, and twelve in Agricultural 
Entomology. 
5. The Examiner in Agriculture (Mr. A. E. Milton Druce) reports 
as follows : “ The farming experience of the twenty-eight candi- 
dates who presented themselves widely differed, as the places whence 
they had gained their knowledge ranged from Scotland and Wales 
to the southern counties. The answers were satisfactory with 
regard to the culture of grass, cost, and dairying. A great difference 
was expressed in the written papers on the outlay for the root crop, 
but in most cases the candidates when questioned showed sufficient 
knowledge to justify the marks gained. Poultry -keeping had 
evidently been a matter of much consideration to many of the 
candidates. The students who had been engaged in practical work 
were much more ready with their answers for the vivd voce 
examination than those who had not had the advantage of such 
experience.’ 
6. The Examiner in General Chemistry (Professor Liveing, 
F.R.S.) reports that the work in this subject was, on the whole, well 
done. Eight out of twenty-eight candidates obtained 70 per cent, 
or upwards of the marks, and the candidates generally showed more 
knowledge and more intelligent acquaintance with the principles of 
Chemistry than had usually been shown in previous years. The Ex- 
aminer in Agricultural Chemistry (Dr. J. Augustus Yoelcker, B.Sc.) 
considers the results of the Examination very satisfactory, four papers 
being of marked excellence. Dr. Yoelcker adds : “Of the six 
questions, the one least well answered was that referring to con- 
tinuous corn-growing. Several candidates omitted it altogether. 
There was a decided disinclination to set out analyses (as required) 
illustrating the differences of composition of root crops, and in no 
single case was this done satisfactorily. The question on the utilisa- 
tion of sewage was almost universally well answered, and the replies 
to that on the ‘ripening of cheese’ were much better than I had 
expected.”
