 The Law School of Osgoode Hall. Convocation then goes on to enact " that the staff of the Law School shall consist of a principal who shall be a barrister of not less than ten years' standing; not less than two lecturers; two examiners." There are many rules for the good gov ernment of the school which it is not neces sary to mention. I will however give the rules which direct the methods to be ob served in the education of students. The 151st Rule provides "that the duties of the lecturers shall be to deliver vivd voce lectures, to superintend classes, prepare questions for classes, and under the super intendence of the principal to perform such other duties as may be assigned to them by the principal." . Rule 153 : " The course in the school shall be a three years' course, and shall consist of lectures, discussions, and examinations." Rule 156: "Subject to the special provi sions hereinafter contained respecting students-at-Iaw . . . now on the books, the attend ance in the school shall be compulsory," etc. Rule 158: "The school term, if duly at tended by the student-at-law . . . shall be allowed as part of the term of attendance in chambers or service under articles." After the Law Society had passed these rules, they without delay proceeded to appoint the officers of the Law School, and to settle upon the curriculum for the school. The officers appointed were: Principal, W. A. Reeve, Q. C.; Lecturers, E. D. Armour, Q. C.; A. H. Marsh, LL.B., Q. C.; Ex aminers, R. E. Kingsford, M. A., LL.B.; P. H. Drayton. After one year's trial it was found that more lecturers were required, in order to perform even fairly the work called for by the rules; and in Easter Term, 1890, Con vocation resolved that it was expedient to appoint two more lecturers in the Law School, and appointed Messrs. R. E. Kingsford and P. H. Drayton to that office, and subsequently appointed F. J. Joseph, A. W. Aytoun-Finlay, B.A., and M. G. Cameron as Examiners. The Law School rules an
