SIR.-I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education to forward the enclosed copy of their Lordships' Minute of the 21st of December, 1867, establishing Scholarships and Exhibitions for the En- couragement of Scientific Instruction, with an explana- tory memorandum showing their relation to the existing action of the Science and Art Department. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, N ORMAN MAC LBOD, v Assistant Secretary. LOCAL AND CENTRAL SCHOLARSHIPS. My Lords consider the subject of scientific instruction with a view to its further encouragement and diffusion. 1. Thev refer to the Science Director of the Science and Art Department, and to the Minute of the Education Department of thb 20th February, 1867, making addi- tional grants for secular instruction to Eletneirary schools. 2. In order to assist the artisan classes who may show an aptitude for scientific instruction, My Lords resolve to aid local efforts in founding Scholarships and Exhibi- tions. The Scholarship is intended to maintain the student while remaining at the Elementary school, and the Exhibition to support him while pursuing his studies at some central institution where the instruction is of a high grade. 3. Local Scholarship.—These are of two kinds, the Elementary School Suholarsbip and the Science and Art Scholarship. 4. Elementary School Sckolarships.-The Science and Art Department wi 1 make a grant of £5 towards the maintenance of a deserving student to the managers of any Elementary school who undertake to support him for one year and subscribe also at least £ 5 for that purpose. 5. Conditions.- a. With any number of scholars up to one hundred on the register of the school there can be but one such Scholarship above one hundred and up to two hun- dred two Scholarships, and so on for each hundred. b. The ScholarsLip or Scholarships must be awarded in competition to the most successful student or students in some examination of the schoo). The absolute terms of the competition and the award of the Scholarship will be left to the managers of the school, subject to the approval of the Science and Art De- partment. c. The scholar must be an artisan or poor student as defined by the Science Directory, and be between twelve and sixteen years of age. d. He must not be the teacher, pupil-teacher, or other paid servant of a school. e. He must continue regularly to attend the day school, and— f Pass in some one or more branches of Science at the succeeding May examination of the Science and Art Department, after which the Department grant of X5 will be paid. 6. These grants will be made from year to year on the condition that the student each year pass in a new sub- ject or in a higher grade of the same subject in which he first passed. It will be for the locality to determine for how many years the student may hold the scholarship, but in no case can he be allowed to hold it for more than three years. 7. The Science and Art Department will hereafter consider such alterations in these conditions as appear necessary. 8. The Science and Art ScAolar.sMp.-The Science and Art Department will make a grant of JElO towards the maintenance of a student at an elementary school who has taken a first grade in Freehand or Model Drawing and Elementary Geometry (see Art Directory), and passed in one of the subjects of Science (see Science Directory). 9. Conditions.- a. With any number of scholars up to one hundred on the register of the school there can be but one Scholarship; above one hundred and up to two hun- dred two Scholarships, and so on for each hundred scholars. b.

The place where the student is to pursue his studies may be fixed by the managers subject to the approval of the Science and Art Department. If a Government institution be selected, such as the Royal School of Minesor College of Chemistry, London, or the Royal College of Science, Dublin, the fees of the student will be remitted. c. The exhibitioner must be of the artisan class or a poor student, as defined by the Science Directory. d.
