Over the whole year, including office expenses (г50), the average cost per ╖lecture works out in round numbers, at г2 (or deducting г52.10.0 Study money at about г1.16.0 per lecture. 4.-we regard the cost as high not so much in itself as in proportion to the results obtained, and we think some change should be made Х The suggestions made for improvement-take two distinct lines. It is pointed Хut, on the one hand, that the number of lectures could be greatly increased (and thus the average cost lowered), if the course system were given up, special printing abandoned, and the lectures simply sent on tour, his dates being filled up through the Clarion and Labour Leader. This, in fact, is a return to the De Mattos system. On the other hand it is suggested that more good would be done, if increased time and trouble were devoted to the organisation of each course of lectures, the choice or untrodden paths, an~ the deepening of the impressн , ion made at each place, especially among those new to propaganda. on ~on mane at each place, especially among those new t o propaganda. on --iiiiiiiiiii-н this plan, though fewer lectures would be given, and the average cost per lecture might even be increasPd, more real effect would, it is contended, be produced. comparatively Wf" propose that the ~atter plan -the intensive culture o~virgin soil -should in the main, be followed next season as an experiment, though not necessarily to the exclusion of all other lecturing Х ./ -4 н 5.-'ae choice between the two plans has an important bearing upon t he amount of work to be undertaken. By the'aontinuous Tour' system, compa~нtively l ittle work is thrown on the office, and the amount of lecturing need be limited only by the money at our disposal. The 'Intensive Culture' system, on the other hand , involves incessant work , and we do not think that more than one lecturer -that is, more than four or five to~ns -can be properly attended to at one time. The experiment of 'Intensive Culture' cannot , in. fact, be tried \mless this is adhered to. 6.-Of the lecturers at work during the past season, one (Hamilton) has been continuously engaged, whilst the others have been engaged for each course. The result has been that the former system has proved much more expensive than the latter, the average per lecture tor tees and travelling expenses coming in the one case to 31/ 3, as compared with from 18/6 to 20/9 in the others. We do not think that the system of permanent engagement has resulted in any sufficient advantage to compensate for this great difference in cost. 7 . -We think that , among the lecturers at present at work , Harry Snell is on the whole the best fitted for the Society's purposes , and we propose that he should be asked to do the bulk of the lecturing for the next season.. We understand moreover that it is uncertain whether either Hamilton or Clayton would care to undertake the task , and no expectations have been held out to them. -5 н 8.-We think that Snell should devote two months during the summer to organising his own coursesof lectures ~or the Autumn travelling from placХ further to place for this purpose; and that he should als prepare t~f/iMe lectures especially one on Employer's Liability and hers on Trade Union topics, we attach great importance to this preliminary organisation, and we propose that a lump sum of г30 should be paid to him for organisation and study, in addition to actual railway fares. 9.-We propose that Snell should arrange to give between October and April six full courses of four lectures each at four or five places each week -thus putting in between 96 and 120 lecture, -for the same payment as heretofore , viz г15 per course (Total г90) , plus railway fares only. 10.-The places for these courses (24 to 30) should~~ be mainly large industrial villages and the smaller towns, in the localities where compa~ tively little has hitherto been done. At these places the audiences will often be smaller than might be addressed at the larger towns, but they will be newer to the movement. We suggest that he should give his first attention to Nortmunberland, Durham and Cleveland, where he seems to have done well this Spring, and where there are a large number of mining and manufacturing villages not yet visited. He might also explore the Border towns , and perhaps those of the Lothians and about the ClydP. In all these districts he could probably secure the help oC the Co-operative Societies,by getting into -6 н touch wit h the central and district committees. Further fields are the industrial districts of Somerset and Cheshire , and the manufacturing villages of the Midlands. 11.-We have considered the printing arrangements , and we have recommended some slight alterations. We think however that the present Course Syllabus and Single Handbills should both be continued (printed in London at our expense) , whilst posters should be got up locally. 12.-We suggest , as part of the means of deepening the impression of each course of lectures that (a) The 1ect11rer should push the sale of tracts; (b) The Book Boxes and Correspondence Classes should be announced at each course; and as far as possible, worked in conjunction with it; (c) Lists of persons in each town should be sent up by the lecturer , of persons who are known to have attended, or to be interested, or otherwise promising, with a view to future correspondence with them; dispatch of circulars to them; and (possibly), if at any time thought desirable the posting to them of a suitable leaflet or tract. ' (d) All the newspapers in the district should be sent a batch of tracts with re~1est for a review of them. We may add that the experiment of using a Magic ~antern, tried by Snell , has been given up by him as undesirable╖ Х and we concur in this. -= .:._н -= -7 н We think t~at, if these proposals are vigorously carried out , the office will have as much as it can well manage , in getting the t'ullest value out of the 96 to 120 lectures to be given by Snell; and that comparatively little else in the lecturing line should therefore be attempted whilst thesP. are going on. 13.-With regard to other lectureJJs , we recommend that Miss Stacy (who offers one month about November) , should-with special injunctions to be briefe~rbe asked to try a new field -╖say the industrial villages in Essex where Co-operative Societies exist (Halstead &c). This will cost г15 and railway expenses and printing. 14.-We suggest that negotiations with Clayton be postponed, until later. We do not see that we could anyhow arrange to take his t'ull time with advantage, and the question whether he could give us a month or two aepend ~oL5e~е vn hi~ own arrangements in the Autumn. 15.-We estimate th t this scheme will cost ,i~ (in addition to the г100 that is being spent between the present April and June , and the usu г50 for office expenses) about г200 for Snell' s lectures , and г50 for possible courses by Miss Stacy , Clayton or others. Thus the total for the year 1897-8 would be about г400 , we understand that whatever may be the total, the Hutchinson Trustees desire that tne members should he asked to find some of the cost . ( v~{t-/Wt~~ ?:w-~ 12-Q~~ F -8 н We therefore suggest that the Trustees should be asked to make a grant for Provincial Lectures for 1897-8 of the same amount as that for the current year, viz ~300; and that a full plan should be laid before the Society in September or October, with a request for funds.

Finally it was agreed to submit to tne respective organisatio,s a proposal in favour of tne formation of a Court of Appeal as follows:н Where two or more Socialist organisations are seeking to put forward candidates in opposition to each other for election to Parliament or any local elective body, and where no agreement can be come to locally the dispute may be referred to this court of appeal for decision --~ such decision to be oinding on the societiea represented . had The composition of the court was left over until the iatter been Submitted to the Or6anisations represented . . , .

I IN the Lord Mayor's Court on Thursday. before Mr. Roiburgb, Aeaiata.ntl Judge, and & Common Jury1 the ca.ee of Pea.rce v. May wae beard. It woo an action brought by the plaintiffs, Mr. I Pearae and Mr. Hubertl Bland, the secretary and treaнaurer of the Fabian Society, and occupiers of cerbaln roomХ at Waleingbam Bonae, 276, Strand, agalnatllihedefendant, Mr. W.

M6v. advertlhingcontll'actor, to recover the sum of г16 2s., being the balance of an amoon~ received by the defende.nt upontlhe letting of certain roorne for viewing the Queen's Dhmond Jubilee Proceeeion. ~fr. Pease (instructedby Mr. Smith) w.. coonool for the plalntiffe, and Mr. Gray (inetrncted by Mr. Prlbble) appearod for the deнfendant. Cocnael, in opening the case, said that the acHon arose onb of the letting of a room for viewing the Quefln'a Diamond Jubilee Proceeaion. The nlalntlffa were tbe oocupiera of a. room on tbe second floor of 276. Strand, from which an excelltntl view of the proceaeion could be obtained. The pl11.intiffa were &.n::doul to let the windo"tYa, and on ~larch 14th comнmunicflttiona took placo between Mr. Peo.rae o.nd title rlefrndant, in which authority was given to the de╖ fendantJ to let tlbe room, at a commission of 15 per cent. Two days after tlbe defendant cB.Iled and ea.w Mr. Pea.rse, and said he bad a telegraphic order for a room at the price of г15. The defendant advised the plaintiffs to accept the offer, and paid a. aum of г13 131. Х the amonotl, less the commi.osion, which Wlls, ao the plalntiffo alleged, wrongly estimated ab the time. Aftf'r this many persona cs.lled to see the room upon the defendant's order to view. In oonaeqoe:1cethe plointlffo wrote for an explanation. The defendнant wrote to say he would be glad if the plaintiffswould allow per1ona to 11ee the room. The letter wentl on to 1ay, 11 If I do nob secure a par~ba.aer, I aball reaerve iD for myself and friends." It wae uponthat oentenoe in the letter (ccuooel uid) that the plaintiffХ hHed their oaot. Mr. Peor.c oaid that he came into communication with the defend&nt through a circular, Dbe terms of which he (plaintiff) agreed to. The dtfenclamt waa to letl the room &El a comrnbaion agent! and to receive 15 per cenb. commi11ion. The defХndant afterward& oaid he had an offer for г15 for ~nch a room && they were wi1bing to let, and a dfaнcDIIton aroee a1 to the dralrahility of lettina-it at tha.b prico. Tbe defendant advlaed him (wltneso) to acceptthe olrer. The offer wu accepted, and the defend╖ u.b, rather to bia (witnru'Х) 1urprise, wished to pay at once._ A an'!' of г13 13o. wao paid, and Х receipt ~qe/~'MJ ~-2-4/q7 given. Meverat --penona came to view the rooms I afterwards, and, as a result of cnrreapondence with the d .-,fendant, he (witneBB) wu ghen to understand that the tranoacticn had fallen tbroogb. He (witneoo)subsequently heard that the defendant bad let the room to a Mr. Heat"mson for a earn of г35. Uponthia an application wao made to the defendant for the pa.yment of tlbe amount over and a.bove that which was paid to tbe plaintiffc. In cross-examination, witneas ea.id the lease of the premi!ea was in the names of Mr. Blond and himoelf. The ooclety to which he (witnen) was secretary waa a political eocietly for pro-meting political knowledge of an advonced kind. It watw not true to suggest that the window wu Pold to the defendant at the price of г13 13o. For the defence Mr. Gray ХХId that the qucatlcn for the jury tc decide waa whether the room in question was to be let by Mr. May on the terms of his receiving15 per cent. for his trouble, or whether, on the other hand, Mr. Pearse hod nob aold the defendant the uoe of the room for the onm of г13 13a. The defendant was ca'lPd and awore tb&t there waa an absolute t!&le of the roo.;, to him for Jubilee DХy for г13l~s., and i he had not beХn able to re-let it be would have lost that sum, or have had to use the room himself.
