(Received 7th January, 1914.)

Education Offices, Victoria Embankment, W.C.

6th January, 1914.

THE memorandumt you were so good as to forward on 20th October relating to the work of the Visual Instruction Committee of the Colonial Office, has been considered by the Committee whose duty it is to advise the Council in regard to its loan collection of lantern slides.

With reference thereto, I have to say that the Council has already included in its collection some hundreds of slides approved by the Visual Instruction Com- mittee, and we shall await with interest the publication of any additional slides.

Your Lordship will, no doubt, remember that, with the permission of the Visual Instruction Committee, a series of 24 of the sketches made by Mr. Hugh Fisher were reproduced by the Council as reward cards for use in the schools maintained by the Council. These cards have proved of great interest to both teachers and pupils and I shall be glad to know whether the Visual Instruction Committee will agree to the reproduction of a further series of 24 of Mr. Hugh Fisher's pictures for the same

&c.,

purpose.
