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.
