In regard to the question as to the keeping of the sets of slides exclusive, the General Manager states that photographs cannot be given under such conditions. So far as I am aware, up to the present, no sets of slides similar to the photographs asked for by you have been made, and it does not seem likely that these slides will he included in any new sets, but this Department, cannot, however, give a definite undertaking to this effect.

Mr. NOALL (Secretary).
The minutes of the last meeting,
adopted.
having been previously circulated. were
The correspondence was reviewed. The letter from the Admiralty of the 20th of Septembert was considered, and it was decided to reply that there was no objection to the adaptation of the lectures to meet the requirements of the Admiralty, on the understanding that the adapted lectures would be kept entirely for departmental use, but that it was not possible to lend negatives. The Admiralty were to be informed of the prices of the slides, and copies of the further books of lectures were to be sent when published.
The Committee were informed that, by an oversight, no mention was made on the reward cards prepared by the London County Council of the fact that the pictures were reproduced by permission of the Committee. A letter had been received, however, in which the Council promised to repair the omission.
Sir Philip Hutchins stated that he had not been able to deliver one of the lectures on India at the Teachers' Conference.
Sir Cecil Smith read a letter§ from the High Master of St. Paul's School respect- ing the set of slides on India which were to be purchased. He had communicated also with the Head Master of the Mercers' School, who had consulted with his masters, and had arrived at the conclusion that the Committee's lectures were too advanced and too elaborate for schools. Sir Cecil Smith expressed surprise that these masters had previously heard nothing of the work of the Committee."
Members of the Committee promised to communicate with the schools in which they were interested.
Sir Cecil Smith thought the time had arrived when the larger schools should be approached, and after discussion it was decided that a statement should be drawn up and printed for circulation to such schools. It was agreed that the draft should be settled by Mr. Keith, the Sub-Committee, and Sir Cecil Smith. Sir Philip Hutchins asked to be furnished with a copy.
Sir Charles Lucas promised to write to Dr. Heath with regard to the set of "Sea Road" slides for the Board of Education.
The Committee were informed that a balance of about £50 would probably remain of the original fund on the completion of the Australasian and North American lectures.
