Nine students from this College have been selected to remain a third year in order to specialize in the study and teaching of some subject —three in physical education, three in modern languages, two in experimental pedagogy, and one in science. We are expecting our three in physical education to be supplemented by nine from the other centres, thus making a squad of twelve for physical education. A smaller group would hardly justify the appointment of the special instructors necessary for this branch of work. Teachers' Certificate Recommendations. —Of our 128 second-year, third-year, and post-graduate students ten have been recommended for a B certificate, over one hundred for a complete C certificate, and the remainder for a D certificate with progress towards C. More than half of these require only one subject to complete their C certificate. A considerable number of second-year students, who have been recommended only for a C certificate, will be entitled to promotion to B as soon as the results of the recent University examinations are known. Clubs. —The chief clubs are the Dramatic Club and the Saturday Night Club. Each of these has met regularly, about once a fortnight throughout the year. The Dramatic Club, under the direction and guidance of Miss McLeod and Mr. Fleming, worked in sections and studied a considerable number of plays, mostly modern one-act plays, each section in turn giving a finished reading to the members of the other sections or to the Saturday Night Club. At a public entertainment organized chiefly by Miss Brownlee two short plays were acted, both with a finish and success rarely found in performances by amateurs. The Saturday Night Club, under the presidency of Mr. Sutherland, did much useful work in arranging social functions that lasted for a few hours on Saturday nights when students are wont to relax after the week's work and the afternoon's sports competitions. The Debating Club, under the management of Mr. W. H. Blakie, was also a very active body during a considerable portion of the year. The debates were held on Friday evenings, and most of them were judged by Mr. Macfarlane and Mr. Tucker, who did much useful work in this connection. An Art Club for outdoor sketching, and a Handicraft Club also met occasionally on Saturdays during the third term when the winter sports competitions had come to an end.
