Lord Hugh Cecil was in the chair, and was supported by a large number of Members of the Committee. The Report and Accounts were both adopted. The Committee were very pleased at receiving what is likely to be a considerable sum of money from an anonymous donor, who has approved of a scheme put forward by the Committee that the sum in question should be put into a trust, the income to be devoted towards educational purposes, and the scheme will be likely to be put into being within the course of the next few months. The Vanbrugh Castle School opened for the spring term on January 10, with thirty-eight boys. Next meeting April 25, at 3 o'clock. The usual meeting of the Grants Sub-committee of the fund was held on March 8. Mr. Walter S. Field was in the chair, and the other members of the committee presentwere Mrs. L. M. K. Pratt-Barlow, O.B.E., Sqdn.-Ldr. Douglas Iron, O.B.E. The committee considered in all 12 cases, andmade grants to the amount of ^307 55.

Handley Page, Ltd. Annual Report HANDLEY PAGE, LTD., report a profit of ^31,638 for 1927, after allocating ^15,000 to the reserve. The directors thought it was prudent to set aside the latter sum in view of the change in design and manufacturing methods consequent upon the adoption of all-metal construction. The year's profit com- pares with approximately £'27,000 for each of the two preceding periods. A final dividend on the year of 5 per cent, on the preference shares is proposed, making the full 10 per cent, for the year, leaving /11,723 to carry forward. The capital was reduced in March, 1927. m m m m PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED Pilot's " A " Licence. Compiled by John F. Leeming. Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, Ltd., 39-41, Parker Street, Kings- way, W.C.2.
