17 26 We have heard much adverse comment on the system of education of apprentices and the Council have been keenly aware of the necessity for change. A bill has now been drafted and will we hope when enacted transfer to the Society the power to make all appropriate regulations subject to judicial con trol instead of being rigidly bound by statute as heretofore. However, despite the shortcomings of the existing system it has in fact produced remark ably good results. I have always been most im pressed by the calibre and efficiency of the vast majority of our students following admission. Such gaps as there may have been in their general knowledge of the law were more than filled by the possession of a high degree of integrity. A solicitor's word is his bond and because this has always been appreciated by young solicitors the general stan dard of conduct of the members of our profession 14 27 27 28 ADMISSION CEREMONY Thirty-seven newly qualified solicitors were pre sented with their parchments by the President, Mr. Eunan McCarron, at Solicitors Buildings, on Thursday, 5th June 1969.
