Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 14: 1887-88 Educational matters have not been going smoothly in the Highlands during the year. Some of the Lews School Boards could not meet their monetary obligations, and the Education Department has stepped in to help them. The extra money is to be furnished from the Treasury, but the Boards who consent to the arrangement must demit their powers to two of their members and the Inspector of Schools for the district. Mr Robertson has been appointed Inspector of Schools for the Isles, and he forms one of the trio that will conduct the schools. In the matter of Gaelic teaching, things are as before: no schedule of Gaelic instruction for the specific subject, only the placing of Gaelic on the list of specific subjects, the possibility of having intelligence tested in Gaelic, the possible employment of a Gaelic pupil teacher for the younger children to give instruction in that language, and a Gaelic examination paper at the Midsummer Normal Examina tions for such pupil teachers.

Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 10: 1881-83 WE have now pleasure in presenting the Members with the tenth volume of the Society's Transactions. It is larger than any of its predecessors, and it is to be hoped that, as regards quality, it will not be found inferior to any of them. During the period which has elapsed since the publication of Volume ix., many events of great moment, in the Highlands, and in connection with the Highlands, have occurred. Chief among these must be held the Royal Commission, appointed to enquire into the condition of the Highland crofters. With the grievances, and alleged grievances, which were brought before the Commission, this Society, which has invariably endeavoured to steer clear of all political and controversial questions, will not deal. At the same time it is a pleasure to us to point out, and express our satis faction at, the great amount of native talent, hitherto dormant, which the advent of the Commission has roused and brought to light.
