Report of Society's Meetings. 147 
Dr. Ford and Mr. L. M. Hill spoke in favour of the 
amendment, which was agreed to. 
The President said that possibly the members did not 
know that, on obtaining permission from the Government, 
young men could be trained at the Laboratory. 
The Rev. W. B. Ritchie suggested that as an addi- 
tion to the motion the Government be asked to consider 
a system of travelling teachers. 
The President thought this unnecessary, as the motion 
would cover the suggestion. 
Mr. Gilzean stated that he had that day interviewed 
the Governor in regard to an agricultural school at Pin 
Ruimveld. The school was to be opened in about a 
month, and everything possible would be done to make 
it a success. 
The amended motion was carried unanimously. 
The President informed the meeting that he had made 
arrangements for the new series of le6lures, and that the 
first would take place towards the end of the present 
month and be by Mr. Quelch. Others had been promised 
by the Bishop of Guiana, Rev. Jas. Belsher, Father Bar- 
raud, Mr. Simpson Gray and Prof. Harrison.
