LECTURES ON BOOK-KEEPING. THE Council propose to appoint a special lecturer in book-keeping with effect from October, 1956 for the benefit of solicitors' apprentices. The lecturer will also conduct the Society's book-keeping examinations which will not form part either of the intermediate or the final and his certificate will be accepted as evidence that an apprentice has obtained the necessary standard of proficiency. The regulations giving effect to these changes will not be made for some time, but the Council have decided that apprentices should be advised in the meantime to attend lectures in book-keeping at the Rathmines School of Commerce. The questions in book keeping at the intermediate examination to be held in May 1956 will be set and the examination will be conducted by one of the lecturers at the Rath- mines School of Commerce. Further information as to the classes recommended, fees and other matters will be available at the Society's offices in September. LECTURES, MICHAELMAS SITTINGS.
