their intention of reerring the board as soon as they

as they could do so in conformity with the toms of the

admitting the value of the oral system, contended
that eircurosunaid se the Society of Arts was the .ysteg of
paper examinations was the best. Oral thaminations would
entail too much expense an the eodst7; ft would ethane the
benefit of the examination and of the certificates to • few

Mr. W. HAW= said ha was distend to ogres with Mr.
Baines in the aketreet principle, t the !practical question
I for theta to oonaider was, what wee within the means
of the society, end what was conaistent with the
object which it was more especially designed to pro-
, mots. Re lad no objection to caul marolnation •
but were they to confine the benefits of examinatice;
to akw gnat centres, or were they to extend them to the
whole oolmny P They could extend the written examine-
Base to the whole country, but the oral examinations mina
nscasserily be moaned to a few places, bemuse their funds
would not allow them to send examiners throughout the
entire country. They were told that the system of oral
examination was Dr. Booth's. Be had not been a member
of the council for many weeks, and he wen not mixed up in
the oontroverry which had taken place, but he would read
for the meeting the following extracts :—" Dr. Booth's state-
ment in his letter to the nessateirs of the &clay of Arts, pp.
24, 25:—' With a view te pet tie of the late chairman et
any price, Mr. Chester's solemn which bad been reputedly
condemned. not only by the board of exassiners but by
the council, was revived." listreot train the abates

" It was moved by Mr. Chester, secooded by Dr. Booth, and
resolved That the board do recommend to the council
that, with a view to the °Minion of its examinations gene-
rally among the institutions and other bodies in union, end
to the psmroency of thane eiranimitioas, they should, after
the ensuing oamtnatlas in 1867, be conducted mcitiairely
by papers worked ender such regulations as the council may
deem neonnery to secure the fairness of the work, and nut.
