Commissioner's Office, Camp Arialeh, 27 April, 1908. WITH reference to your Lordship's despatch, Miscellaneous, of the 18th of February, I have the honour to report that Mr. A. Hugh Fisher arrived at Berbera on the 21st instant and, after having visited Sheikh and other places in the interior, leaves for Aden by the steamer of the 1st May.
2. Although the time at his disposal has been so short, Mr. Fisher has been. able to secure a sufficient number of representative photographs of the country and its inhabitants.
3. I would ask that a series of these photographs dealing with Somaliland may be selected and enlarged, and that three sets may be supplied to this Protec- torate. I would then propose to place one set in the Officers' Mess of the 6th King's African Rifles, one set in the Berbera Institute, and the third set in the Govern- ment House
4. If necessary, the cost of the enlargements could be borne by Protectorate funds.

9. I desire to lay particular stress on the advisability of educating the people, particularly the young people, residing in the Colonies as to the necessity for their support of the Empire's trade, and the reasons why it is their duty to assist in the matter. Such subjects could be carefully introduced into lantern lectures on the British Empire to be delivered in Colonial towns and schools. The lectures should be got up in a popular and attractive style, and admission should be free, or, if any sum is charged, the proceeds should go towards some local object so as to enlist the sympathy and assistance of some of the residents in making the lecture a success.

Marlborough House, Pall Mall, S.W., DEAR SIR FRANCIS HOPWOOD,
23 May, 1908. THE Princess of Wales directs me to answer your letter, for which she thanks you, and to say that Her Royal Highness requests you will be able to arrange for the proposed lecture on Colonial educational matters, &c., to be held any time between 3 o'clock and 3.30 on Thursday, July 9th. The Princess hopes to be present at the lecture, but the Prince of Wales will not be able to accompany her. There will be no objection to announce the intention of the Princess to visit the Imperial Institute on that occasion.
In conclusion, I am to say that Her Royal Highness endorses the opinion expressed by you in your letter respecting the points raised by Mr. Mackinder in his communication* to Sir Charles Lucas in regard to non-payment for admission, &c.
Believe me, &c.,
A. NELSON HOOD.
