Report of the Education Committee 
a practical agriculturist upon a farm. Two candidates passed in all 
four subjects, but failed to obtain the minimum total marks neces- 
sary to qualify for Certificates. Of the ten other unsuccessful 
competitors, four failed in one subject, four in two subjects, and two 
in three subjects. There were two failures in Agriculture, eight in 
Chemistry, six in Mechanics, and two in Land Surveying.

4. The Examiner in Agriculture (Mr. Primrose McConnell, B.Sc.) 
reports that “ whilst the number examined is the same as last year, 
the average results are rather better, as there is the lowest propor- 
tion of failures I have hitherto had. The questions were all well 
answered, with the exception of No. 6, that relating to warble-flies ; 
and this is rather surprising, considering how much is common know- 
ledge regarding this pest, and that a somewhat similar question was 
asked in a recent year.” 
5. The Examiner in Chemistry (Dr. J. Augustus Yoelcker, 
M.A., B.Sc.) remarks that “ the chief point brought out is that the 
candidates run much in groups, evidently as the teaching in a school 
is good or indifferent. As the marks show, no one has exhibited 
any special excellence, and, taking it all round, the result is only 
moderate. The question in which least concise knowledge was shown 
was that relating to wood charcoal and animal charcoal.” 
6. The Examiner in Mechanics and Natural Philosophy (the 
Rev. Professor Twisden, M.A.) reports that “a good deal of the 
work was very fairly well done, and a few of the boys sent up very 
good papers. Want of exactness, which one always expects to find
