Mr. Trevor Dennis, in opening the discussion, called attention to the proposed Syllabus f or Additional Mathematics for School Certificate as circulated amongst members, and said This syllabus has been drawn up by the Manchester Branch after consultation with other Branches, and we ask your help, your blessing and your advice as to amending it, so that we may put it before the Joint Matriculation Board of the Northern Universities as a syllabus which should stand as a separate subject. The Northern Universities School Certificate and Matriculation is a tremendous examination. Last July no less than 460 schools took the examination and 18,720 candidates were presented.
