II.— REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF THE 
EIGHTEENTH EXAMINATION FOR THE NATIONAL 
DIPLOMA IN DAIRYING, 1913. 
1. The Eighteenth Annual Examination for the National 
Diploma in the Science and Practice of Dairying took place in 
September, 1913. The Examination was held for English 
candidates at the University College and British Dairy Institute, 
Reading, from September 13 to 19 ; and for Scottish Candi- 
dates at the Dairy School for Scotland, Kilmarnock, from 
September 19 to 26. 
2. The number of candidates at both centres was smaller 
than in 1912, and this was doubtless attributable, in a great 
measure, to the fact that as a preliminary to the acceptance of 
an application for permission to enter for this year’s Examina- 
tion, each candidate was required to produce certificates 
(1) testifying that he or she had received at least six session 
months instruction in practical dairy work at an approved 
Dairy training institution ; (2) showing that he or she had 
attended approved courses in Chemistry, Bacteriology and 
Botany, and had satisfied the authorities of the institution of 
his or her fitness for admission to the Examination. 
3. Thirty-three candidates presented themselves at the 
English centre. Of these, the following twenty-two satisfied 
the Examiners, and have therefore been awarded the National 
Diploma in the Science and Practice of Dairying : —
