demand. The general aim of the Board is to meet every legitimate request from every class of the community for adult education of a University character. The work of the Board, as at present proceeding, may be briefly summarized as follows: (a) Extension lectures. The Board has prepared a panel of Lecturers who are willing to devote some time to this work. These lecturers represent all Faculties of the University. Local committees and local organisation are responsible for the finance of courses. Full particulars as to fees and lecturers available, and copies of the Prospectus of the Board, can be obtained on application to the Secretary. Every effort will be made to meet special needs. (b) University Tutorial Classes. These classes are conducted under the regulations of the Board of Education (Regulations for Technical Schools, etc.), which pays the major portion of the grants required for their maintenance. Details of these regulations may be obtained from the Secretary. The Board of Education requires that these classes shall be conducted by tutors approved by the University; that the University shall be responsible for their syllabuses; and that the members of such classes shall engage in a course of study covering a period of three years. Any group of persons is at liberty to approach the University with a view to the formation of such classes, and their representatives can obtain from the Secretary all necessary information. The range of subjects embraced by these classes is very wide and covers at the present time, History, Economics, Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, Geography, Central and Local Government, and Music. Travelling Libraries are issued to all Tutorial Classes and to University Extension Centres when required. A Committee, known as the Joint Committee, has hitherto conducted Tutorial Classes for Workpeople. This Committee consists of twelve members appointed by the Board direct, and an equal number appointed by the Board on the nomination of the Workers' Educational Association from various organisations of workpeople, together with not more than two members appointed by the Board on the nomination of the Joint Committee. Every effort is made to embody, as far as conditions admit, the most valuable aspects of University teaching, especially close personal contact between tutor and student. To secure this end the number of students in a class is not allowed to exceed twenty-four. The course of instruction offered covers a period of three winter sessions, each session consisting of twentyfour weekly meetings of two hours, of which time at least one half must be devoted to class work, discussion, &c. Each student must do a satisfactory amount of written work. The members of the class select the subject of study and the tutor from the list of tutors approved by the Joint Committee, subject to the willingness of the tutor selected to accept any particular invitation, and subject also to the ability of the Joint Committee to make any particular arrangement that may be desired. A form of agreement between the Board and the local Committee, setting out the financial details of the contract, must be signed by the officers of the local Committee on behalf of the local Committee before the arrangements for a class can be concluded. All information can be obtained from the Secretary to the Board. THE GREGSON MEMORIAL INSTITUTE COMMITTEE The Institute has been leased by the University to the Education Committee of the Liverpool City Council for a period of years.
