On Saturday he visited the Reading University, to which is attached the National Institute for Research in Dairying It is probable that the curriculum of the New Zealand college, so far as its association with dairying is concerned, will most nearly approximate to the working of the institute at Reading. Sir James, who was accompanied by Major Norton Francis, a member of the board which has been set up to govern the school. Dr. Hight, Mr. W. B. Matheson, and Mr. W. Wright, New Zealand Government dairying inspector, spent the day investigating the actual university courses in practical dairying, and research operations in dairy chemistry, bacteriology and dairy husbandry. They also saw over one of the farms supplying London with milk and investigated the system under which there is voluntary co-operation between such farms and the institute in regard to the practical application of

scientific and hygienic principles to dairying. Such farms, when certificated, receive a higher price for their milk.

The visitors were much impressed with what they saw. The High Commissioner will submit a report to the New Zealand Government on his investigations.
