The degree in En- gineering is accepted as exempting from the examination of the Institute of Civil Engineers for Associate Membership. The course extends over a period of three years. THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM. The University Session, or academic year, is divided into three Terms, and commences in October. The Classes and Laboratories of the University are open to all who are sufficiently prepared to take advantage of the instruction offered. Every person seeking admission as a Student to a recognised course of instruction in preparation- for a Diploma, Certificate, or other professional qualification, must produce such testimonial or reference and pass such Examination as shall be deemed necessary by the Vice- Principal ; but no Examination is as a rule deemed necessary in the case of students attending classes for the purposes of 4 6 general culture, who are not preparing for University Examina- tion. Degrees are conferred in Arts, Science (I. Engineering : (A) Mechanical ; (B) Civil ; (c) Electrical. II. Metallurgy ; or III. Mining), and Commerce. Although the Classes in the University are open to all Students who may wish to join them, students are strongly recommended to pass some qualifying Examination and be Matriculated before entering the University. It is only Matriculated Students who can become undergraduates and enjoy the privileges of Membership of the University and of the Guild of Undergraduates, and are eligible to become Candidates for Degrees in the University. The following Examinations are accepted in lieu of the Matriculation Examination : i. The Previous Examination (Cambridge). 2. Respon- sions (Oxford). 3. The Preliminary or Matriculation Examina- tion of any recognised University. Provided that Candidates who offer No. 3 have passed at one Examination in all the subjects required by the regu- lations for Matriculation. Forms of application must be accompanied by a certificate of good character from the last school attended, or from some responsible person, and by the Matriculation Fee of 2. Candidates must pass in five subjects at one Examination, viz. : (i) English History and Literature ; (2) Mathe- matics ; (3), (4), and (5), Three Subjects (of which one must be a Language) chosen from the following list : (A) Latin, (B) Greek, (c) French, (D) German, (E) Italian, (F) Spanish, (G) Higher Mathematics, (H) Experimental Mechanics, (i) Chemistry, (j) Geography, (K) Botany, (L) Animal Biology, (M) Geometrical Drawing. Candidates for the Bachelor's Degree in Pure Science, and for the Bachelor's Degree in Arts, are required to have spent at least three Sessions in attendance on courses of study in the University after Matriculation, and in the case of Science to pass two University Examinations, or in Art three Examina- tions. If the Candidates before entrance to the University have passed the Intermediate Examination (or an Examina- tion recognised by the University as equivalent to that Examination) , they will be allowed to sit for the Final Examina- tion after two years' study ; but in no case will the degree be conferred on such candidates until they have completed a further year of study, after which they become eligible for the Degree of Master of Science or Master of Arts. 47 Candidates may obtain the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, after attendance on prescribed courses of study in the University extending over a period of at least four years after Matriculation. But if a Candidate before entrance to the University has passed the Intermediate Science or the First Engineering Examination (or an Examination recognised by the University as equivalent) , he will be allowed to enter on the second year courses of study, and will be eligible for the Degree after three years instead of four. The Degree of B.Sc. (Engineering), provided that the Engineering Matriculation Examination be passed on entering upon the course of study, is recognised as a preliminary quali- fication for appointment of Assistant Engineers to the per- manent establishment of the Public Works Department of India, and as exempting from the examination of the Insti- tution of Civil Engineers for Associate Membership. In MECHANICAL ENGINEERING the training throughout the course is largely practical and experimental in its char- acter ; the University Workshops, consisting of Forge, Foundry, Machine Shop and Pattern-making Shop, are very extensive, and equipped with the most modern tools. In the latter part of the course attention is directed to experimental work in the Engineering Laboratories, which are fitted with modern appliances for demonstration of the principles underlying engineering practice. In CIVIL ENGINEERING, the courses of study are carried on by Lectures, Workshop, Drawing, Laboratory, Exercises, and Field Work, the object being to give the Student a thorough training, both theoretical and practical, in those subjects, a knowledge of which is necessary in the practice of the profes- sion of Civil Engineering. In ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, the course for Students is the same as that for Mechanical Engineering for the first two years, and only differs in the third and fourth years in the increased time spent in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory, and on the design of examples of Electrical Machinery Appa- ratus and Installations. Candidates may obtain the Degree of Bachelor of Science in METALLURGY or MINING after attendance on prescribed courses of study extending over a period of at least three years after Matriculation, and passing examinations at the end of each year. For the Mining Degree candidates are further re- quired to have practical experience in a Mine for at least two months in each year, or to have had at least four months 4 8 of such experience before entering on their courses in the University. The Metallurgical Department provides instruction for those engaged in or connected with Metal Industries, and is intended to meet the requirements of (i) Metallurgists ; (2) Metallurgical Chemists ; (3) Metallurgical Engineers ; (4) Mining and Geological Students ; (5) Dental Students ; (6) Others interested in Metallurgy. The courses of study include Lectures, Laboratory teach- ing, practical work in the Smelting Laboratories, and visits to works. In Mining, the time of the Students at the University is not entirely devoted to theoretical work ; much of it is of a thoroughly practical character. The courses have been so arranged as to meet the requirements of those who intend to become (i) Practical and Consulting Mining Engineers; (2) Colliery Managers ; (3) Managers of Metal Mines ; (4) Tea- chers of Mining ; (5) Mine Surveyors ; (6) Land and Estate Agents ; (7) Landowners, Owners of Collieries, and those generally interested in Mines and Quarries. The Faculty of Commerce furnishes a systematic training, extending over a period of three years (two in the case of approved Graduates of other Universities) , for Students who look forward to business careers.

The object of this University is, besides promoting educa- tion in the usual subjects of University teaching, to provide instruction in such Sciences and Arts as are applicable or ancillary to the Manufacturing, Mining, Engineering, Metal- lurgical, Fuel, and Agricultural industries, and in other subjects of University teaching. 49 The University of Leeds grants Degrees in Arts, Com- merce, Science, Medicine, Surgery, Dental Surgery, and Law. It provides complete courses for the professions and occupa- tions of Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Gas and Mining Engineer- ing, Analytical Chemistry, Cloth Manufacture, Dyeing, Leather Manufacture, and Agriculture, and lectures and classes in sub- jects of general education suitable to those who desire to con- tinue their studies beyond the point reached at school. The classes are, in many cases, suited to students who are preparing for the Examinations of the University of London. The course of instruction in COMMERCE extends over two years and leads up to the Diploma of the University. It in- cludes French or German, Economics, Geography, Account- ancy, Mathematics, Commercial Law, etc., and a short tech- nical course. The LAW DEPARTMENT affords systematic instruction for intending Barristers and Solicitors. The CHEMISTRY course includes Inorganic, Organic, Prac- tical, and Applied Chemistry. A practical course in Sanitary Chemistry is arranged on the lines laid down by the General Medical Council and to suit the requirements of Medical Officers of Health. The course of instruction in CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING extends over three sessions, and comprises lectures on Engineering Principles and Works ; Instruction in Machine and Geometrical Drawing; Experimental work in the Engineering Laboratory. It does not supersede the usual routine of engineering works and offices. It is very desirable that all students should have some practical experience in engineering works before taking the University course. The courses of instruction in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING are adapted to those who propose to take the B.Sc. Degree ; for those who are preparing for the University Diploma ; or for those who desire to attend a special part of the courses. The Department of TEXTILE INDUSTRIES comprises the following branches : (A) Woollen Yarn Manufacture ; (B) Worsted Yarn Manufacture ; (c) Designing, Colouring and Weaving ; (D) Finishing of Textile Fabrics. Part of the work of the Department is carried out in con- junction with that of the Dyeing Department, so that the whole routine of Textile production from the raw material to the finished fabric may be as practically learned at the Univer- sity as in the mill. The scheme of teaching, as it relates to mechanical operations, is devised to give as varied an experi- 50 ence in Spinning and Textile Manufacturing as is possible, and also to supplement in an efficient way the Lecture Courses of Study. The Spinning Buildings are equipped with the newest machinery, in the weaving sheds there are 116 looms affording unique facilities for experiments in design, weaving and colour- ing of all classes of fabrics ; the Finishing Shed contains machinery for scouring, milling, cutting and pressing ; the Textile Museum has a valuable collection of woven and other specimens, to which Students have access. There are Special Classes for those who wish to specialise in Design and Ornament for decorated fabrics. The Department of DYEING includes courses for practical dyers, or masters of dye-works, and instruction relating to the chemistry of colouring matters and their manufacture. The full course is for three years, but shorter courses are open to Students who cannot remain for the full time. LEATHER INDUSTRIES. The object of the course of study in this department is, first, to familiarise students with the details of the tanning process ; methods of chemical and microscopic analysis are also taught and practised ; and in the latter part of the course students are given the oppor- tunity to take part in the practical production of leathers in which they are interested, and to study the smaller details of the processes. Particular attention is paid to leather dyeing and the manufacture of coloured leathers. The courses of study include : 1. A course for the degree of B.Sc. in the Honours School of Applied Chemistry (Chemistry of Leather Manu- facture.) 2. A course for the ordinary degree of B.Sc. 3. A course for the diploma in Leather Manufacture. Shorter courses will be arranged for students who cannot afford the necessary time for a degree or diploma course, but in no case can a student be allowed to work in the Leather Industries laboratories until he has satisfied the Professor that he has the requisite preliminary training in chemistry. Some previous acquaintance with actual leather manufacture is very desirable before taking the University courses. The diploma course is suitable for those who intend to become technical managers in leather works, and is recom- mended to those who require a practical knowledge of the science and technology of the industry, but are unable to take a degree course. There are also advanced courses in Tanning, Leather dye- ing and staining, and Practical Microscopy and Bacteriology. The fees for the B.A. Courses amount to about 16 a year ; for the B.Sc. Courses to about 25 a year ; in the Department of Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mining, for a full year's course in each, about 30 ; and in the Department of Textile Industries, Dyeing and Tinctorial Chemistry, and Leather Industries about 25. COLLEGES FOR WOMEN OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. Girton College and Newnham College are both connected with the University of Cambridge. The fees at Girton are 35 a term 105 a year, that is, for the three Cambridge terms, and at Newnham, 30 or 32 a term. The students at these Colleges have the advantages of University teaching, and many of them pass the Tripos Examinations. At Oxford the Colleges for Women are Somerville College and Lady Margaret Hall. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge do not grant Degrees to Women, but the place of the Women Students in Examinations is indicated. CAMBRIDGE TRAINING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN. COURSES OF STUDY. The object of this college is to give the necessary professional training to women intending to teach in Secondary Schools. In addition to the course of training, it offers the advantages of a College life, and a year's residence in an University town.

The Courses of the Junior and Senior Divisions are separate and complete in themselves, but students are advised to pass one year in the Junior Division and then one or two years in the Senior Division. In addition to the training given in the teaching of general school subjects, the^ Senior courses seek to deepen and extend the knowledge already gained, and to advance considerably the practical skill of the teacher. The College year for all divisions begins in September. 'Students can also enter at Christmas and Easter. There ;are three Terms altogether, about 36 weeks, in the College Session. Hours of attendance for Students are from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., and from 2 to 4.30 p.m. every day, except Satur- day, which is a whole holiday. The College premises are spacious and well equipped, there is a good Library and a room fitted up as a Natural History Museum, to both of which Students have access. Students ;are expected to take part in the College games and sports, unless they have a Doctor's certificate saying they are physically unfit to do so. FEES.

In London the Medical Student has the choice of many excellent Schools. The Medical Faculty of the London Uni- versity is now formed of the twelve general hospitals of London to which Medical Schools are attached St. Bartholo- mew's, Charing Cross, St. George's, Guy's, King's College Hospital, London Hospital, St. Mary's, Middlesex, St. Thomas's, University College, Westminster, and the London School of Medicine for Women. The teaching arrangements, and accommodation at some of these are better than at others but the Student's choice will depend largely on personal factors. He should, whenever possible, consult a more ex- perienced friend before joining any of them. The Composi- tion Fees vary at different hospitals from 121 to about 170, but a good margin over and above this should be allowed for instruments and extras. St. Bartholomew's Hospital allows Students to be ad- mitted to residence, on adducing satisfactory evidence as to character. For terms of board and residence, application should be made to The Warden, St. Bartholomew's Hospital and College, London. Arrangements for the board and residence of Students have also been made in connection with most of the other Hospital Medical Schools, particulars of which can be obtained from the respective Deans. There are also Metropolitan Ancillary Schools and Hos- pitals, affording facilities for clinical observation, as, Bethlem Royal Hospital, Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest (Brompton), City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest (Victoria Park), Central London Throat and Ear Hos- pital (Gray's Inn Road), London Throat Hospital (Great Port- land Street, W.), The Metropolitan Ear, Nose and Throat Hos- pital (Graf ton Street, Tottenham Court Road), Hospital for Women (Soho Square, W.), Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest (City Road), Royal Ear Hospital (Soho), Great Northern Central Hospital (Hollow ay Road, N.), New Hospital for Women (144, Euston Road, N.W.), London Temperance Hos- pital (Hampstead Road), National Hospital for the Paralyzed and Epileptic (Queen Square, W.C.), Queen Charlotte's Lying- in Hospital and Midwifery Training School (Marylebone Road, N.W.), Seamen's Hospital, and London School of Tropical Medicine (Royal Victoria and Albert Docks), Hospital for Sick Children (Great Ormond Street, W.C.), London Ophthalmic Hospital, " Moorfields " (City Road, E.C.), Royal Westminster 6i Ophthalmic Hospital (King William Street, West Strand), the Royal Eye Hospital (St. George's Circus, Southwark, S.E.), Tottenham Hospital (South Tottenham, N.), Central London Ophthalmic Hospital (Gray's Inn Road, W.C.), St. John's Hos- pital for Diseases of the Skin (Leicester Square, W.C.), St. Peter's Hospital for Stone and Urinary Diseases (Henrietta Street, Covent Garden), East London Hospital for Children and Dispensary for Women (Glamis Road, Shadwell, E.), Evelina Hospital for Sick Children (Southwark Bridge Road, S.E.), Victoria Hospital for Children (Chelsea, S.W.), West London Hospital (Hammersmith Road, W.), North-Eastern Hospital for Children (Hackney Road, Bethnal Green, E.), North- Western London Hospital (Kentish Town Road, N.W.). Most of these Hospitals admit Students for lectures or practice during three or six months at fees of from two to five or eight guineas. The following Provincial Universities have separate faculties of Medicine, with special facilities for Clinical Studies in their respective local Hospitals, Oxford, Cambridge, Wales (Cardiff), Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Leeds, Liverpool, the Victoria University of Manchester, Sheffield ; and, in addition most of the provincial Hospitals of over 150 beds are available for Clinical Study. The following provincial hospitals are especially recognised by the English Royal Colleges for a part of the required attendance on medical and surgical practice for Medical Clerk- ships and Surgical dresserships : Bath Royal United Hospital ; Bedford County Hospital ; Bradford Royal Infirmary ; Sussex County Hospital, Brigh- ton ; Kent and Canterbury General Hospital, Canterbury ; Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, Derby ; Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Exeter ; West of England Eye Infirmary, Exeter ; The Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary and Eye Institution, Gloucester ; North Staffordshire Infitmary and Eye Hospital, Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent ; Hull Royal Infirmary ; Leicester Infirmary ; Northampton General Hospital ; Norfolk and Norwich Hospital ; Nottingham General Hospital ; South- Devon and East Cornwall Hospital, Plymouth ; The Royal Hospital.

The comfort of the students is secured by a common-room and a refectory in which they can take meals. It is estimated by the authorities that the approximate cost of medical education to a Student in this University is 188, plus, of course, the expenses of living during the five years covered by the curriculum. The General Infirmary has 482 beds in constant use, and includes gynaecological and ophthalmic wards and a large new out- patient department. The Ida Semi-Convalescent Hospital .and Robert Arthington Hospital, Cookridge, attached to the Infirmary, has over 40 beds. The West Riding Lunatic Asylum at Wakefield is open for the study of Mental Diseases. Students can, in addition, attend the practice of the Leeds Public Dispensary (where the practical instruction in dental subjects is also given), the City Fever Hospitals (100 beds), the Hospital for Women and Children, and the Leeds Maternity Home. Further information may be obtained from the Dean. THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM grants the degrees of M.B., Ch.B., M.D., Ch.M. The course for the Bachelor degrees extends over five years, from the date of registration with the General Medical Council. As a rule the first four of these years must be spent in the University, but the Senate has power of recognising attendance at another University as part of the attendance qualifying for these degrees, and of recognising examinations passed at such other Universities as exempting from the examinations in Chemistry, Physics, and Elementary Biology. In the case of such students at least 72 three years must be spent in attendance upon classes at the University. The fifth year may be spent at any school or Schools of Medicine recognised by the University. THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL. Students must pass either the University Matriculation examination or some other approved examination. The course of professional study subsequent to passing the Matriculation Examination and having been registered as a medical student extends over five years, and candidates for the degree of M.B., Ch.B.,. must pass at least two of the five years of medical study in the University, and one year at least must have been passed in the University subsequent to the date of passing the first examination. No candidate will be admitted to the degrees of M.D., Ch.M., unless he has previously received the degrees of M.B., Ch.B., and at least one year has elapsed since he passed the examinations for those degrees. VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER. Four degrees in Medicine and Surgery are conferred by the University, viz., M.B., Ch.B., M.D., Ch.M. : all candidates for such degrees are required to pass the Matriculation Examination or to have passed such other examination as may be recognised by the University for this purpose. Candidates for the degrees of M.B., Ch.B., must have pursued a course of study acquired at the University during a period of not less than five years, subsequent to the date of their registration by the General Medical Council, two of such years having been passed in the University and one year at least having been passed in the University subsequent to the date of passing the first M.B. examination. The degree of M.D. is conferred upon candidates who have received the degrees of M.B. and Ch.B. after at least one year has elapsed since they passed the examination for those degrees. The degree of Ch.M. is conferred in like manner. THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD. Candidates for a medical degree must have matriculated in the University, or have passed some other approved examination. Degrees in the Faculty of Medicine are M.B., Ch.B., M.D., Ch.M. A candi- date for the degrees of M.B., Ch.B., must pursue a course of study extending over at least five years, three of such years having been passed in the University, and one year in the University subsequent to the date of passing the first examination. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL. The medical degrees of this University are similar to those in other Universities. The regulations for obtaining such have not yet been pub- 73 lished, but they will doubtless be on the lines found in other provincial Universities. THE SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES. (EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, ABERDEEN, ST. ANDREWS.) The regulations of all these Universities are the same for Medical Degrees. Two of the five years of medical study must, however, be spent in the University from which the candidate takes his degree. The following regulations of the University of Edinburgh may be taken as an example of all the Scotch Universities. Every Student, before commencing his medical studies, is required to pass a Preliminary Examination in (i) English, (2) Latin, (3) Elementary Mathematics, and (4) Greek or French or German ; but an Indian Student may substitute any other classical language for Latin or Greek, and his native language for French or German. EXEMPTIONS : Indian Stu- dents who present evidence that they have passed examina- tions which would admit them to Universities in India will be exempted, provided that the evidence shows that they possess a knowledge of English sufficient to follow the lectures with profit, and provided that the examinations in India include all the four subjects stated above ; e.g., the Matricula- tion or Entrance Examination of an Indian University does not exempt unless the candidate has passed in two languages ; if an Indian student has passed in one language only, in India, he must undergo examination in a second language in Scot- land. The Medical Council has ruled that the Preliminary Examination must be passed before attendance at any medical lectures can be counted. All Students are required to Matriculate before they can be enrolled in any of the Classes in the University. Matricula- tion consists in inscribing the name in the Students' Album, and paying an annual entrance fee of i. Medical Study may be begun either in October (Winter Session) or in May (Summer Session). No one is admitted to the degrees of BACHELOR OF MEDICINE and BACHELOR OF SURGERY who has not been en- gaged in Medical and Surgical Study for five years. Two of the five years of medical study must be spent in the University of Edinburgh. The remaining three years may be spent in any University of the United Kingdom, or in any Indian, Colonial, or Foreign University recognised for the pur- pose by the University Court. Of the subjects of study, 74 16 in number viz., Anatomy, Practical Anatomy, Chemistry, Practical Chemistry, Materia Medica, Physiology, Prac- tical Physiology, Practice of Medicine, Surgery, Midwifery and Diseases of Women, Pathology, Practical Pathol- ogy, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Medical Jurisprudence, and Public Health not less than eight must be taken in the University of Edinburgh or in some other University of the United Kingdom, or in some Foreign or Colonial University entitled to confer the Degree of Doctor of Medicine, recognised for the purpose by the University Court. Candidates for Degrees must have attended for at least three academic years the medical and surgical practice of a general hospital which accommodates not fewer than 80 patients and possesses a distinct staff of physicians and surgeons. They must have attended Clinical Surgery during a course or courses extending over not less than nine months, and a similar course of Clinical Medicine during not less than nine months. The Candidate must have attended a course of instruction in Mental Diseases, consisting of not less than six class-room meetings for lectures and demonstrations and ten meetings in the Wards of a recognised Asylum for the Insane ; he must have attended a course of 25 meetings on Practical Pharmacy in a University or recognised School of Medicine, or have dispensed drugs for a period of three months in a hospital or dispensary, or in an establishment recognised by the Pharmaceutical Society ; he must have attended for at least six months the out-practice of a hospital, or the practice of a dispensary, or of a qualified practitioner. He must have acted as clerk in the medical wards and dresser in the surgical wards of a public hospital for a period of six months in each case ; and must also have availed himself of opportunities of studying at a hospital or dispensary Post-mortem Examina- tions, Fevers, Diseases of the Eye, Operative Surgery, Practical Anaesthetics, and one of the three following, viz. : Diseases of Children ; Diseases of the Larynx, Ear and Nose ; and Diseases of the skin. The Candidate must have attended, under the superintendence of a registered medical practitioner, 25 cases of labour, or have attended for three months the practice of a lying-in hospital, or of the maternity department of a general hospital or other public charitable institution and have con- ducted personally six cases of labour. He must have been properly instructed in Vaccination at a public vaccination station, by a public vaccinator, authorised by the proper Government authority to grant certificates of proficiency in vaccination. 75 All the Degrees of the Scottish Universities are open to women, who are admitted to graduation in medicine under practically the same conditions as men. The Medical College for Women, 30, Chambers Street,- Edinburgh, has been recog- nised as a Medical School whose courses of instruction qualify for graduation. The Fees for the four divisions of the Examinations are respectively, 6 guineas, 5 guineas, 4 guineas and 7 guineas, in all 23 2s. Attendance in Medical Classes in India is accepted as qualifying for Degrees in Medicine. But it is important that Indian Students should ascertain whether the courses that the> have attended in India contained the prescribed number of Lectures. If not, the deficiency will have to be supplied. The M.D. Degree is conferred on Candidates who have obtained the Degrees of M.B. and Ch.B., and are twenty-four years of age, and who can produce certain certificates of clinical work. They have to submit a Thesis on a medical subject. Fee for M.D., 10 los. Fee for Ch.M., 10 los. Any further information relative to the courses of Medical Instruction, and the regulations for Degrees can be obtained from the Dean, Medical Faculty of the respective Universities. MEDICAL DEGREES IN IRELAND. At the University of Dublin (Trinity College) the usual Medical Degrees and Diplomas are conferred, and also in the National University of Ireland and the University of Belfast, where all Degrees, Honours, Exhibitions, Prizes, and Scholar- ships are open to women as well as to men.

The Royal College of Physicians] of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the Faculty of Physi- cians and Surgeons of Glasgow, have made arrangements by which, after one series of Examinations, held in Edinburgh or in Glasgow, or in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Student may obtain the Diplomas of the three Bodies. The object of the Joint Examination is to give to Students facilities for obtaining, after one series of Examinations, the qualifications in Medicine, Surgery and Widwifery, of the three Scottish Corporations. Students passing the Final Examination will be entitled to register three Diplomas under the Medical Acts viz., Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and Licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Female Candidates are admitted to the Examinations. The three Co-operating Bodies grant their Single Quali- fications only to Candidates who already possess another and opposite Qualification in Medicine or Surgery, as the case may be. N.B. Under the provisions of the Medical Act of 1886, these Single Qualifications do not confer the right to registra- tion, except as Qualifications additional to those already on the Register. The curriculum lasts for five years ; the fifth year should be devoted to clinical work at one or more Public Hospitals or Dispensaries, and to the study of Special Diseases. Six months of the fifth year may be passed by the Student as a Pupil of a Registered practitioner possessing such oppor- 8i tunities of imparting practical knowledge as may be deemed satisfactory by the Committee of Management. Candidates for the Diplomas of the three Licensing Cor- porations must have passed the complete Examination in General Education, and have had their names inscribed in the Register of Medical Students instituted by the General Medical Council at the commencement of their professional studies. Students should therefore make sure that this has been done, as disappointment has sometimes arisen through ignorance or neglect on the part of the Candidate of this requirement. Foreign and Colonial Candidates require to be registered as Students, and when they have studied at recognised institutions before coming to this country, subsequent to having passed a registrable preliminary examination, they are recommended when they register to apply to the Registrar to have their regis- tration antedated, so as to cover their course of study. Candidates shall be subjected to four Professional Exam- inations : FIRST EXAMINATION. This shall embrace the following divisions of subjects (i) Physics, (2) Chemistry, including Practical Chemistry (3) Elementary Biology. Fees for the whole Examination, 5 ; for each division separately, 3. SECOND EXAMINATION. The Second Examination shall embrace Anatomy and Physiology (including Histology). Can- didates may be admitted at the end of the second year of medical study. Fee, 5. THIRD EXAMINATION. The Third Examination shall em- brace Pathology and Materia Medica with Pharmacy. Fee, 5s- FINAL EXAMINATION. This shall not be passed earlier than the end of the fifth year of study, and shall embrace the following subjects (i) Medicine, including Therapeutics, Medical Anatomy, and Clinical Medicine, (2) Surgery, including Surgical Anatomy, Clinical Surgery, and Diseases and injuries of the Eye, (3) Midwifery, and Diseases of Women and of New-born Children, and (4) Medical Jurisprudence and Public Health. Fee, 15. All Candidates shall be subjected, in addition to the Written and Oral Examinations, to Clinical Examinations in Medicine and Surgery, which shall include the Examination of Patients, Physical Diagnosis, the Clinical Use of the Micro- scope, Examination of the Urine and Urinary Deposits, Surgical Appliances, Bandages, Surface Markings, etc. Any Candidate admitted to the Final Examination on the 82 footing of having passed the earlier Examinations elsewhere, must nevertheless pay the full fees. There are six periods of Examination annually, four in Edinburgh and two in Glasgow. Among the Boards whose earlier Examinations are recog- nised by the Co-operating Authorities are the Universities and Colleges in India and the British Colonies, whose Matricula- tion Examinations have been recognised by the General Medical Council, whose curriculum of professional study fulfils the requirements of this Board, and whose diplomas are granted upon equivalent Examination to those of this Board, and entitle to practise Medicine or Surgery in the Indian or Colonial dependency in which the Institution is situated. The following are the names and addresses of the Regis- trars : In Edinburgh Mr. James Robertson, Solicitor, 54, George Square. In Glasgow Mr. A. Duncan, LL.D., Faculty Hall, 242, St. Vincent Street. ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS IN IRELAND. CONJOINT EXAMINATIONS. The Examinations are held in April, July, and October of each year.

The unsuccessful candidates may present themselves again three months after rejection. Candidates who have paid in advance the fees for their three examinations, and are unsuccessful in the first, recover the fees paid for the second and third ; those who fail in the second recover the fees paid for the third examination. There are three examinations viz., ist Doc- torate, 2nd Doctorate, and 3rd Doctorate. Great importance is attached to practical knowledge, but Candidates must also prove that they possess positive theoretical science. The examinations, which are viva voce, take place on the first Tuesday in November, December, February, May, and June. Candidates have the option of passing each Doctorate separ- ately or of taking the three at one examination. The time required for the three examinations seldom exceeds ten days. Saturday, before 2 p.m., is the most eligible day for arriving for Candidates with whom time is an object. The examina- tions are conducted in English. Further particulars may be obtained on application to the Secretary of the University, Brussels. There is an Association of British Graduates of the Brussels University, and the Hon- orary Secretary, Dr. F. H. Edwards, of Camberwell House, Camberwell, S.E., will be pleased to give information or re- ceive applications for membership. An article containing a full description of everything concerning the degree was pub- lished in the " British Medical Journal " on September 15 th, 1888. 8 4 THE^DIPLOMA IN PUBLIC HEALTH. The great value, and in many instances the necessity, which now attaches to the possession of this Diploma by Medical Practitioners practising in India, induces us to add the regulations, etc., under which it can be obtained. Two Degrees in Science, the B.Sc. and D.Sc. in the Department of Public Health, are given by the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Degrees of B.Hy. and D.Hy. by the University of Durham, and the Diploma in Public Health by the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Aberdeen, St. Andrews, Dublin, Belfast, and the National University of Ireland, the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of London, the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, and the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Ireland. The general regulations under which the Degrees or Diplomas can be obtained are in all cases similar ; they are governed by the General Medical Council, which body has issued the following rules relative to the matter : Rule i.

DENTAL [SURGERY. Candidates for a Diploma in Dental Surgery must produce certificates of having been engaged during four years in Pro- fessional Studies, and of having received three years' instruc- tion in Mechanical Dentistry from a registered Practitioner, or at some Dental Hospital where instruction is given in this subject. One year's bona fide apprenticeship with a registered Dental Practitioner, or one year's instruction at a Dental Hos- pital, after being registered as a Dental Student, may be counted as one of the years of Professional Study. The three years of instruction in Mechanical Dentistry, or any part of them, may be taken by the Medical Student, either before or after his registration as a Student ; but no year of such mechanical instruction will be counted as one of the four years of professional study unless taken after registration. Professional study prior to the date of registration as a Dental Student is not recognised except in the case of Chem- istry, Physics, and Practical Chemistry, and of instruction in the details of Mechanical Dentistry. Medical and Surgical Practitioners are entitled to practise as Dentists, but it is of great advantage to a Dentist to take a Diploma or License in Dental Surgery (L.D.S.). The Dental Schools in London are : The Dental Hospital of London ; The National Dental Hospital and College ; Guy's Hospital ; and the London Hospital Dental Schools. There are also Dental Hospitals in Scotland, and in many Provincial Towns. Approximately the Fees for instruction in Dentistry vary from 63 to 81 ; and for Examination, from 20 to 25 guineas. 8 7 THE ROYAL SANITARY INSTITUTE. This Institute holds examinations and grants certificates which are officially recognised by the Local Government Board and other authorities. They include examinations : In Sanitary Science as applied to Buildings. For Sanitary Inspectors, Inspectors of Meat and Inspectors of Nuisances, &c., &c. A practical, as well as theoretical, knowledge of Sanitary questions is required ; the fee for most of the examinations is 3 35. od., and the certificates in most cases are not granted to persons under 21 years of age. Further information can be obtained from the Royal Sanitary Institute, Parkes Museum, Margaret Street, W. ROYAL VETERINARY COLLEGE, CAMDEN TOWN, LONDON.

The preliminary Examination is held in April, July and September of each year. Students are strongly advised to enter the College at the beginning of the Winter Session in October. They will be required to produce a testimonial of good character before being admitted. Candidates who have passed the Matriculation of any of the Indian Universities will be exempted from the Preliminary Examination. No one can be admitted into the College under the age of i6. The Course of Study for the diploma extends over a period; of four years, during which four examinations have to be passed. The year is divided into two Sessions. The Win- ter Session will consist of two Terms, the first to include Octo- ber, November and part of December ; and the second January February, and part of March. The summer Session will in- clude May, June, and part of July. The attendance of each Student at Lectures is regularly marked. At the close of each Division of the Winter Session and at the close of the Summer Session the Dean prepares a report of the attendance, general character and conduct of each Student, which is forwarded to his Parent or Guardian, after being ^submitted to and signed by the Principal.

ACCOUNTANTS. INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS AND SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS. There are two well-known Societies in England under which Students can qualify as Accountants: The Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors ; ani also the Scottish Chartered Societies. The courses of study for these are all the same. go No person can present himself for the Final Examination unless he has served for five years as an Articled Clerk to a Public Accountant practising in England or Wales (or if he is a graduate of any University of the United Kingdom for a period of three years). No person who is under 16 years of age can be received as an Articled Clerk by a Member of either Society, neither can he be admitted to membership before he is 21. There are a few members of the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors who carry on the business of Public Accountants in India, to whom Indian students can be articled, but they must attend in England to pass both the Intermediate and Final Examinations, there being no exami- nation centre in India. To become a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants or of a Scottish Chartered Society a student must serve and qualify in England and Wales or Scotland respectively. Before being Articled, a Preliminary Examination as a test of general education must be passed, unless one of the exempting examinations has already been passed in the necessary subjects. The subjects for the Preliminary Examination of both Societies are as follows : i. Dictation and English Composition. 2. Arithmetic. 3. Algebra, to Quadratic Equations. 4. Euclid (the first Four Books). 5. History of England and Geography. 6. Latin (Elementary). And two of the following subjects (one of which must be a language) : Latin, Greek, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Higher Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Animal Physiology, Electricity and Magnetism, Light and Heat, Geology, Stenography. Indian Examinations are not recognised by the bye-laws of the Institute of Chartered Accountants as exempting from this Examination. A copy of the list of books selected for the examination of Candidates in the optional subjects will be prepared six months before the Examination and can be obtained by appli- cation. An Intermediate Examination will be held after one-half of the term of service. This Examination will be conducted in writing in the following subjects : (i) Book-keeping and Accounts (including Partnership Accounts) ; (2) Book-keeping and Accounts (including Executorship Accounts) ; (3) Audit- ing ; (4) The Rights and Duties of Liquidators, Trustees and Receivers. The Final Examination at the end of the Service under -Articles cannot be taken in less than two years after the In- termediate Examination (except in the case of graduates of a University who are only serving for three years, by whom it may be taken one year after passing the Intermediate). The Final Examination in both Societies is conducted in writing in the following subjects : (i) Book-keeping and Accounts (including Partnership Accounts) ; (2) Book-keeping and Accounts (including Execu- torship Accounts ; (3) Auditing ; (4) The Rights and Duties of Liquidators, Trustees and Receivers ; (5) The Principles of the Law of Bankruptcy, and of the Law Relating to Joint Stock 'Companies ; (6) The Principles of Mercantile Law, and of the Law of Arbitrations and Awards. In London premiums on Articles vary from 50 to 500 guineas, according to the status of the firm to whom the Clerk is articled, an average premium being 200 guineas ; while in the country 50 to 300 guineas is about the rule. In the case of the Scottish Chartered Societies the premium or apprentice fee is 105, and there is another 105 payable to the general fund of the Society on the candidate's admission after the prescribed examinations have been passed, as well as an annual contribution of 5 55. payable to the Endowment and Annuity Fund of the Society. The Fee for each Examination in the Institute of Chartered Accountants or of a Scottish Chartered Society is 2 2s. ; in the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, Pre- liminary Examination i is., Intermediate i -us. 6d., and Final 2 2s. The Fee for admittance as an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants is 10 ios., or as Associate of the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors 5 55., and an annual fee of i is. for members not in practice, whilst members in practice if in the Metropolis pay a fee of 2 2S. per annum, if in the Provinces a fee of i is. per annum. There are additional fees on admission to Fellowship. As changes are sometimes made it would be well to write for further information to the Secretary of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, 34, Moorg ate Place, E.C., the Secretary of the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, 50, Gresham Street, Bank, E.G., or the Secretary of the Society of Accountants in Edinburgh, 23, St. Andrew Square, Edinburgh. THE LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. This Chamber holds examinations for Junior and Senior Commercial Education Certificates. The subjects of the 92 Junior Examination are: English, Handwriting, Arithmetic,, a Modern Foreign Language, Commercial Geography, Com- mercial History and the Elements of Political Economy ; and optional subjects which are grouped as Mercantile, Linguistic, Mathematical or Scientific. The Senior Examination is on similar lines, and among its obligatory subjects are Foreign Languages, including Oriental. For further information apply to the London Chamber of Commerce, Oxford Court,. Cannon Street, .E.C. ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL TRAINING. The money necessary for an Engineering training, exclud- ing outfit and passage, and premiums for a practical course, but including cost of living, clothing, college fees, holidays, travel- ling and all incidental expenses, cannot be less than 200 to. 220 a year, or Rs. 256 to Rs. 275 per mensem. The time to be spent in Great Britain will depend on which branch of the profession is adopted, and what funds are 'provided : it cannot well be less than three years, and need not be more than five. But before the student leaves India he should have received a scientific education in an Indian College, otherwise time and money will be needlessly spent in this country on ,a preliminary education, that can be as well obtained in India at less cost. He should have acquired at least a sound and thorough knowledge of pure mathematics i.e., geometry, algebra, and trigonometry ; some acquaintance with analytical and practical plane geometry, the elements of solid geometry and a working knowledge of the differential and integral calculus and of the simple differential equations. He should, further,, have had some instruction in applied mathematics and mechanics, and a general knowledge of elementary physics and chemistry. He should also have learned drawing, especially free-hand and geometrical drawing and practical mensuration. The engineering profession comprises several distinct branches, for each of which a special training is required. The Indian student coming to this country should therefore decide beforehand which of these he intends to adopt, so .that he may save much time and money by selecting the suitable education and training. The branches of engineering which at present offer careers to Indian students, are as follows : I. CIVIL. ENGINEERING. (a) Railways, (b) Irrigation, (c) Works, Wharfs and .Harbours, (d) Roads and Buildings, (e} Drairiage and Sewerage, (/) Water Supply, (g) River Works. 93 2. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. (a) Marine Engines and Dredging Plant, (b) Locomotive Engines, (c) Stationary Steam Power Engines, (d) Oil and Gas Power Engines and Motors, (e] Hydraulic Engines and Machinery, (/) Turbines, Hydraulic and Steam, (g) Pumping Engines and Plant, (h) Textile, Mining and Rolling Mills, Machinery and Plant, (i) Portable Engines and Factory Plant, (/) Aerial Ropeways and Conveying Machinery. r~& 3. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. (a) Electric Railways, (&') Street Tramways, (c) Telegraph, Marconigraph and Telephone, (d) Sighting and Power Plant, (e) Mining Machinery, (/) Textile Machinery, (g) General Workshop Machinery, (h} Telpherage. 4. MINING ENGINEERING. .5. Iron, Steel, Copper and Lead Manufactures; with Allied Industries of Wood and Metal Works. If the student should elect for the Public Works Department it will be necessary for him to have a generally good knowledge of i. (a), (b), (d), (e), and (/) ; 2. (d), with some workshop experience of mechanical engineering, and also of 5. This entails his taking at least a three years' course, or more profitably a four years' course, at one of the many good Engineering Colleges of Great Britain ; or he may take a B.Sc. degree in Engineering, which will make him eligible for Associate Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers. There are more openings for well-educated and properly- trained mechanical engineers in India than there are for civil engineers. Before long also a large field will be open for employment in electrical engineering in all its sections, (a) to id), throughout India. For this the student will have to take a five or six years' course of education and training, if he wants to be a master in the profession of electrical engineering, and not a mechanic electrician, which is the fate of many young men at present who have not spent the full time re- quired. To be a good electrical engineer it is necessary, first, to take a three years' course in mechanical engineering . followed by a two years' course in a technical college, combined with electrical shop and test-room work. The mining industry of India is increasing largely every year, and offers much employment to Indian students. After a four years' course at the Royal School of Mines, and two years spent at the coal, iron, tin and lead mines of this coun- try, the student should be well fitted for undertaking charge of any of the four mining industries above mentioned, and these are certain to be greatly developed before long in India. 94 It will be some time before the smelting and manufacture of metals will be sufficiently developed to offer careers to trained students. Some enterprises of the kind have started in India, and others are contemplated, but they are far from being established undertakings yet. Considering the four branches herein mentioned, the first, or civil, requires the shortest time for obtaining the necessary qualifications, either by means of a University degree or a technical college coarse. This does not, however, complete the training necessary for a civil engineer, and a year or two of a practical course should be undertaken. To obtain this practical training under a civil engineer of some standing and current practice, entails for the Indian student at least an additional year's residence in this country, and an expenditure of one hundred guineas as a premium. If the Indian student is preparing for the Public Works Department he must, to conform with regulations, have had some knowledge of workshop training, and this he can only acquire by being admitted into one of the many large engineering workshops of this country for at least six months, and more if possible. For this a premium may or may not be required, as some engineering colleges and technical colleges have excellent workshops of their own, and with a four years' course are able to introduce selected students into engineering workshops for three summer courses of six month each. During this workshop course he will have to enter as an apprentice, and work with the workmen of the shops and conform to their hours and rules, which are very strict. For mechanical engineering the student, after having finished a two years' college course, should enter some good engineering workshop as a premium pupil for three years. He will then be fitted for employment as an assistant locomotive superintendent on an Indian railway provided, of course, he holds good certificates from his college and the works. For electrical engineering, he must spend eighteen months in some good engineering workshops, where electrical power engines are built ; in the forge, fitting and erecting shops ; then eighteen months in some electrical plant manufacturer's works as Crumptons or Siemens' Brothers in machine shop, testing room, and drawing office ; after which spend one whole year as junior shift engineer in the power house of some large electrical lighting and power company, and another year outside on maintenance of tramways and lighting way and works. The fully- qualified electrical engineer has better prospects 95 in India than men of either of the other two branches of the profession. Moreover, it will not be long before the mountain railways of India will have to be worked by hydro-electric power if they are to be worked profitably, while most, if not all, cotton and jute mills will also have to be worked by electricity. So the prospects of an electrical engineer in India are quite good, and sufficiently enticing for the student who is wiling to spend time and money on specialising in this branch. The limit of age for entering Government service in the Public Works Department is 24, so that students specialising for it should begin their course of education and training in Great Britain before they are 20 or 21 years of age in the month of July according as they propose to take a degree at a University or a technical college course of four years. But if they are adopting the engineering profession with a view to employment with railway companies, municipalities, district boards, or private and other undertakings, they may spend their time in this country up to the age of 25, and even 27, having due regard to all other conditions. As before stated, it is very necessary that Indian students coming here for an engineering education and training should have been thorough- ly well educated to the extent already mentioned, otherwise they will find it both difficult and expensive, not to say irksome, to go through a course of school work in this country after the age of 16 or 18. UNIVERSITY ENGINEERING COURSES. For particulars of Courses of Engineering at some of the Universities, see London pp. 36, 38, Dublin p. 43, Manchester p. 45, Birmingham p. 47, Leeds p. 49. IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, including as integral parts : I. The Royal College of Science. II. The Royal School of Mines, and III. The City and Guilds College. The purposes of the Imperial College are to give the highest specialised instruction and to provide the fullest equipment for the most advanced training and research in various branches of science, especially in its application to industry. The courses of instruction are planned so as to extend over four years, and are generally similar for all divisions 9 6 during the first year, and to a less extent during the second year, after which they are specialised according to the particu- lar division in which the student is working. Students on entering must specify as far as possible the third year or third and] fourth year courses in which they intend to specialise. Those intending to specialise in Civil and Mechanical Engineer- ing or Electrical Engineering will be regarded as students of the City and Guilds College ; in Mining or Metallurgy as students of the Royal School of Mines ; in Mechanics, Physics, Chemis- try, Botany, Zoology or Geology as students of the Royal College of Science. Candidates for admission to a first year course must satisfy the authorities of the College that they have received a good secondary education, and must as a rule be not less than 17 years of age. They are required to show : (i.) That in general education they have reached a standard equivalent to that usually marked by Uni- versity Matriculation ; and (ii.) That their previous scientific education is such as to enable them to profit from the scientific training given in the course which they desire to enter ; e.g., a knowledge of Elementary Mathematics, Mechanics, Physics and Chemistry sufficient for the University of London Matriculation Examination. Every student should have acquired some facility in freehand drawing. Applications for admission to the College must be made on Form 1289, obtainable from the Registrar, and be sent not later than the first week in July for admission in the following October. In this form a statement should be given of the studies which the applicant has already pursued, the examinations he has passed, and the names of a Teacher or Teachers to whom reference may be made. This application will be considered by the Council of the College, who will decide whether or not the Candidate can be admitted. Students must be free from any organic disease or physical defect that would interfere with their studies. The Session is divided into two Terms. The first Term begins about the first week in October, and ends about the middle of February. The second term begins in the middle of February, and ends about the beginning of July. A certain number of Royal Exhibitions, National Scholar- ships, and Free Studentships tenable at the College are awarded by competition at the Examinations of the Board of Education, South Kensington. 97 The diploma of the Imperial College of Science and Technology will be awarded only on the satisfactory comple- tion of two years' study in advanced science or technology at the Imperial College, except in cases where, the Imperial College recognises for this purpose in associated Universities, &c., courses of study for which the Imperial College does not make provision in any of its own constituent Colleges. I. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. This part of the Imperial College includes the Departments of Mathematics and Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology and Geology. The complete course extends over 4 years (i.e., 12 terms), and the fees vary according to the course taken, ranging from 5 to 17 a term, and amounting in all to 120 to 150. The conditions governing the award of the Associateship of the Royal College of Science are subject to revision with regard to the Session 1910-11, and subsequent Sessions. II. ROYAL SCHOOL OF MINES. The courses of study in the Departments of Mining and Metallurgy extend over four years (i.e., 12 terms) and the fees vary from 2 to 13 a term, amounting in all to 140 150. Students who enter for the Associateship of the Royal School of Mines in and subsequent to the Session 1908-9 will be required satisfactorily to complete a four years' course of study. III. THE CITY AND GUILDS CENTRAL TECHNICAL COLLEGE, EXHIBITION ROAD, S.W. The object of the Central Institution is to give to London ne, two or more years, to thorough systematic training ; the evening classes are for those who are unable to attend during the day. The Engineering Day courses are divided into three sections (i) Mechanical Engineering, (2) Electrical Engineering, ;and (3) Watchmaking and Horological Engineering. The work consists of lectures, exercise classes, laboratory work, drawing office and workshop practice. The laborato- ries, drawing offices and workshops are fully equipped with the most recent apparatus and tools. The aim in the Mechanical Engineering section is to give a good all-round training in the fundamental principles of modern mechanical engineering practice. Special attention is devoted to the design and application of automatic machinery for that rapid and economical production of finished work which is every day becoming more and more important. Lectures are given dealing with the commercial side of Engi- neering. In the Electrical Engineering section, besides the training in Electric Lighting and Power Distribution special courses are given in Electric Traction and in Telegraphy and Tele- phony, including Radio-Telegraphy. In Horology considerable time is given to workshop practice. Students are taught the methods of finishing, escapement making, &c., by aid of hand tools, besides receiving instruction in the details of automatic tools. There are also day courses in. Electro-Chemistry, in Technical Optics and in Artistic Crafts in all of which the methods and aims are similar, mutatis mutandis to those adopted in the Engineering day courses. In Electro-Chemistry the latest developments in a rapidly extending branch of applied science are included. The technical optics section is unique and covers a wide range extending from scientific * sight testing to the construction of the most refined optical instruments. In Artistic Crafts there are courses in Art Metal work of all kinds from the most delicate jewellery to heavy decorative iron work ; there are also classes in artistic book- binding, and other subjects. Students joining the Institute should not be less than fifteen years of age, and are required to pass an Entrance Examination in English and Elementary Mathematics.

These courses are also suitable for students preparing for the examinations of the General Medical Council, the Conjoint Board of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and other professional bodies. All the above courses of study also prepare for the degrees of the University of London in Science or Engineering. The courses are approved by the University, and are con- ducted by recognised teachers of the University. The fee for full daily attendance is 12 12s. per session, or 4 75. 6d. per term. The session extends from September to July. The Polytechnic also provides instruction in Art and Craft work, having for its object the thorough training of the practical designer and craftsman, in the various branches of applied art. Elementary and advanced instruction is given in Art Subjects, special attention being given to design, and practical instruction in Modelling in Wood, Stone, Marble, Glass and China Painting, Enamelling, and Art Needlework. The fee for four days per week for Art Instruction ranges from 323. to 405. per term, according to subjects taken. Courses are also arranged for those intending to enter Commercial Life or to prepare for Civil Service Examinations. These courses also extend over three years, and the fee per session September to July is 12 125., or 4 73. 6d. per term. For women the Polytechnic provide a Training School for Students wishing to qualify for appointments as Teachers of Cookery, Laundry work, Housewifery, Needlework, Dress- making and Millinery. The full course of all subjects extends over three years and courses in single subjects from 17 to 40 weeks.

The Diplomas are recognised by the Board of Education for full teaching purposes. The Physical Department for Women gives full courses of Instruction in the various forms of Physical Education, and this Department possesses a large Gymnasium and full gymnastic equipment. Hostels are provided for Women Students. These are carried on under the direct knowledge of the Governors of the Polytechnic. log THE MUNICIPAL SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY, MANCHESTER. The object of the Municipal School of Technology is to provide instruction and training in the principles of Science in their application to the Industrial Arts, with a view to a right understanding of the foundations upon which these arts rest, 'and to promote their effective development. The School is designed to accommodate the Mechanical, Electrical and Sanitary Engineering, the Chemical, Textile, Building, Letterpress Printing, Lithographic, Photo-process, and some other minor trade industries ; whilst adjoining the main building is the Dye-house, where ample provision is made for the study of Bleaching, Dyeing, Printing and Finishing of Textile Goods, and for Paper-making. The successful career of a student depends very largely upon his previous general education, for unless this has been thorough and liberal, no satisfactory progress can be attained in any of the departments of the School. The School offers to Students who have reached their i6th year the following courses, each of three years' duration : 1. Mechanical Engineering. 2. Electrical Engineering and Technical Physics. 3. Municipal Sanitary Engineering. 4. Applied Chemistry ; (A) General Chemical Technology; (B) Chemistry of Textiles (Bleaching, Dyeing, Printing and Finishing) ; (c) Manufacture of Paper ; (D) Metallurgy and Assaying ; (E) Brewing ; (F) Electro-Chemistry. 5. Manufacture of Textiles. 6. Photography and the Printing Crafts. 7. Architecture and the Building Trades. Students are required to pass an Entrance Examination in subjects of general knowledge, or to produce evidence, satisfac- tory to the Principal, of their attainments. Indian Students are not required to take this Examination if they have passed the Matriculation Examination of an Indian University. The Entrance Examination is held twice each year, namely, in July and in September. A Certificate in Technical Science can be obtained after a three years' course, but a special course of two years can be taken in the Textile Department. In this case satisfactory previous knowledge is necessary, and Students who have passed examinations in an Indian Technical School, or have had experience in a mill, can take advantage of this special course. no The Fees for each Department are 20 guineas for each complete session, payable in advance. Students who intend to proceed to the Degree in the Faculty of Technology, of Master or Bachelor of Technical Science (M.Sc. Tech. or B.Sc. Tech.), must pass the Examination for Matriculation of the University of Manchester, which dispenses with the Entrance Examination of the School, or must present its equivalent. Further particulars of these Courses of Study will be found in the Calendar published by the Municipal School of Tech- nology, which can be obtained by application to the Principal. COURSE WITH AN ENGINEER. Engineering Students, in order to attain a knowledge' of practical details of construction, &c., should serve as pupils on the works or in the office of a Civil or Mechanical Engineer. The Course is usually for three years, but a shorter time may suffice if the Student has gone through any of the above Courses of Study. The Fee with an Engineer is usually from 300 to 600 for a Course of three years. LEATHERSELLERS' COMPANY'S TECHNICAL COLLEGE, LONDON. This College is equipped with every appliance requisite for the practical Manufacture, Currying, Dyeing, and Finishing of all kinds of leather. The instruction given covers the whole field of Manipulative Procedure, which, starting from the raw animal hide, finds its completion in the multifarious Leathers that constitute the raw material for the numerous leather- working industries. The classes are divided into Day Division and Evening Division Classes. In the former there are courses of lectures in Tanning, Currying and Leather Dressing ; in applied Chemistry and Leather Manufacture ; and in the principles and practice of the dyeing and finishing of light leathers, and the staining and finishing of heavy leathers. The Session is made up of the winter, spring and summer terms, and the courses of study in the Institute are arranged to suit the varying requirements of the day students. Students may enter for the full session of three terms, or for one or two terms only. The fees for the full time course Tanning, Currying and Leather dressing, and for the full-time course in Leather Dyeing, Staining and Finishing are 12 I2S. per term, and 31 los. per session. Term fees for one day, or Ill other period per week, whether for Term or Session, may be had on application. The fee for the course of 25 lectures in applied chemistry is 3 35. od. In the Evening Division the Session is from September to April, and Students are advised to go through courses of study of two or three years' duration, such courses not requiring attendance on more than two nights a week ; and the fees for such attendance, either in the Leather, Tanning, and Leather Dressing Department, or in the Leather, Dyeing, Staining, and Finishing Department, not exceeding 153. a term. ARCHITECTURE. The Royal Institute of British Architects has laid down a regular course for pupils, with examinations to be passed for membership. A good general education is required as a pre- liminary before entering upon the course. The Architectural Association affords facilities for the study of Architecture. The Day School provides for two years of study, and the pupils are then expected to enter Architects' offices as articled pupils for a short period and attend the Evening School, which provides for more advanced and con- tinuous study. A four years' continuous evening course is also available. Students in the Evening School may, if desired, prepare for the Intermediate or Final Examination of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and qualify for candi- dates as Associates. Students having passed through two years in the Day School and two years in the Evening School, will be entitled to complete exemption from the R.I.B.A. Intermediate Exami- nation, if their work is approved by the Masters and the Board of Examiners. There are many colleges in Great Britain that have a special two to three years' course for architecture, or the student would do well to take a B.Sc. degree at one of the Universities, and then become a pupil for three years under some well-known and actively employed architect, for which the usual premium is from fifty to one hundred guineas a year. ART SCHOOLS. There are many Art Schools in England at which instruc- tion and practice can be obtained in Drawing, Painting, Architecture, &c. Such Classes may be joined at the South Kensington Museum and its affiliated Schools . of Art, at University College, and King's College, London, or in connec- 112 tion with private studios. Several of the other institutions above described give facilities for the study of Art. LECTURES ON SEPARATE SUBJECTS. Students who have time at their disposal beyond that necessary for their special course of study, as is often the case with those reading for the Bar, may be glad to attend lectures and classes, on other subjects. These can be obtained at several of the London Colleges, e.g., University College, King's College, and School of Economics, such as History, Literature, Political Economy, Languages, Philosophy, &c. Attention is specially drawn to the course of Lectures for Indian Students at the London School of Economics, on p. 40. BIRKBECK COLLEGE. Is conducted in close relationship with the University of London. Courses of study, day and evening, for the University Examinations are provided under recognised Teachers of the University in the subjects of the Faculties of Arts, Science, Laws and Economics. Prospectus can be obtained from the Secretary, Breams Buildings, Chancery Lane, W.C. PITMAN'S METROPOLITAN SCHOOL FOR SHORTHAND, TYPE- WRITING, AND COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS, has a large permanent staff of experienced teachers. It gives instruction and practice in Shorthand, Verbatim Reporting, Modern Languages, Type- writing, Business Routine, Book-keeping, &c. Fees, 5 55. for a complete course of Shorthand, until the pupil has ob- tained Pitman's Certificate. Typewriting, 3 95. 8d. for 150 lessons, including Stationery. All pupils are taught by specialists. UNIVERSITY TUTORIAL COLLEGE.

IT is essential that all intending Engineers should (a) pass through a course of scientific instruction at a Technical Institution, and (b) spend at least two years in commercial engineering works. All recognised authorities admit that the best possible plan is the alternation of college training with works experience, commonly known as the " sandwich system." This method gives the engin- eering student early opportunities of applying his scientific know- ledge to practical problems, and helps him to appreciate the value of his academic training. With this end in view the Governors of the Electrical Standardizing, Testing and Training Institution (established 1889), secured the co-operation of a large number of engineering firms of high standing, to supplement the training given at the central technical institution they have erected in London. This building, Faraday House, has well equipped workshops and laboratories (open to the inspection of parents and guardians every Friday afternoon, between 3 and 5) ; the technical staff is highly qualified, and the tuition is augmented by lectures from professional experts in the various subjects taught. In addition actual engin- eering experience under commercial conditions is provided. Terms begin in January, after Easter, and in September. The syllabus will be sent on application to the Bursar, Faraday House, Southampton Row, London, W.C.
