MINUTES OF MEETING OF THE VISUAL INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE, HELD AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE AT 3.30 ON WEDNESDAY THE 4TH OF DECEMBER, 1912.
PRESENT:
The EARL OF MEATH (in the Chair).
Sir PHILIP HUTCHINS.
Sir CHARLES Lucas.
Sir EVERARD IM THURN.
Sir CHARLES HOLROYD.
Dr. HEATH.
Mr. KEITH.
Mr. NOALL (Secretary).
The minutes of the last meeting, having been previously circulated, were adopted.
On the motion of Sir Charles Lucas, the thanks of the Committee were tendered to the Earl of Meath for presenting a set of the slides of the "Sea Road to the East to the Surrey Education Committee.
In view of the delay in the supply of slides, Lord Meath proposed and the Com- mittee agreed that a letter should be written to Messrs. Newton and Company, asking them to undertake to keep in stock at least one set of all the Committee's slides, and an additional supply of the maps and Sanger Shepherd slides.
Sir Charles Lucas informed the Committee that he had already interviewed
Mr. Newton, whose objection was that, in view of the infrequent sales, the course proposed would involve keeping a considerable amount of capital idle.
Dr. Heath mentioned that the Board of Education would probably purchase a
set of the "Sea Road" slides, but wished to see them before buying.
The Committee were informed that the London County Council had decided not to proceed with the experimental reproduction of paintings for use as wall- pictures. The Council had placed the book of lectures on the "Sea Road to the East" on their list of approved books, and had viewed the slides of the series.
Sir Charles Lucas reported that the issue of the Australasian lectures had been delayed still further by the fact that drawings of the maps required as illustrations had been mislaid by Messrs. l'hilip and Son. The maps and other illustrations had now been reproduced, and it was hoped that within a day or two the lectures would be handed over to the publishers to be put into final proof.
Sir Charles Lucas promised to interview Messrs. Newton and Messrs. Philip with a view to hastening the production of the slides and the lectures.
Sir Charles Lucas pointed out that Mr. Sargent had not yet completed the lec- He was of tures on Canada, and had not begun to write those on South Africa. opinion that the chances of success were being spoiled by constant delays.
With regard to the South African lectures, Sir Everard im Thurm proposer that Mr. Sargent should be pressed to arrange for the colouring of the slides.
Sir Charles Lucas suggested that lectures on the West Indies might be taken in hand while Mr. Sargent was working on the Canadian and South African lectures, He and that the cost might be met from the balance of the Rhodes Trustees' grant. proposed to ask Mr. Aspinall whether he would undertake the work, to obtain an estimate of the cost, and then to approach the Rhodes Trustees.
Referring to the memorandum circulated to Public Schools, Sir Philip Hutchins said that on the invitation of the Head Master of the Merchant Taylor's School he had delivered one of the Indian lectures. The Head Master seemed well disposed towards the scheme, but wished to be able to hire the slides. Sir Philip Hutchins thought that arrangements should now be made for hiring, and Lord Meath con- curred. A letter from the Warden of Glenalmond School was read, suggesting that, as the price of the slides was prohibitive, some scheme for lending them on payment of an annual fee would meet the views of schoolmasters. After some discussion it was decided to approach Messrs. Newton again and to ask for better terms than those offered in their letter of the 21st of December, 1911.†
