COUNCIL FOR 1905. I3 
are considerable, and should be made more widely known to 
members of the Y.P.S. who are amateur photographers. 
The Sectional meetings, which are held on the 1st Wednes¬ 
day in each month, from October to May inclusive, in the 
Library or Theatre of the Museum, at 8 p.m., furnish occasions 
for social intercourse and mutual exchange of views on photo¬ 
graphic and kindred subjects as well as exhibition of 
photographs, &c., which are well calculated to keep alive the 
worker’s interest in a way that more solitary practice of the 
art cannot do. 
The Section does not only depend upon the work of its own 
members, but much of the work of other Societies is available 
for its meetings, through the Affiliated Photographic Societies, 
of which it is a member. 
During the year 1905 there has been a Competition in Por¬ 
traiture, a Paper with Lantern Illustrations on Pictorial 
Composition, while a beautiful collection of half plate or whole 
plate transparencies (views in the Lake District for the most 
part) furnished a very attractive exhibition at the last meeting 
in December. 
The annual Exhibition of Lantern Slides was given in the 
Museum Theatre in April, and keenly appreciated. These are 
always popular, and the crowded audiences are a proof of the 
general interest taken in the Section’s operations. 
The terms of Subscription to the Photographic Section are : 
for Members and Associates of the Philosophical Society, 2/6 
per annum ; and for Non-Members of the same 5/- per annum. 
Any lady or gentleman wishing to join has merely to enclose 
the Subscription, and to intimate his or her desire to become a 
member to either of the Joint Hon. Secretaries :— 
H. Dennis Taylor, or Malcolm Spence, 
Stancliffe, Almery Garth, 
The Mount. Mary gate.
