The oldest of them all, the Cork Branch, has a large influx of new members this session, and has already started working the Fleming Programme. But would it not be well, 0 Leaders of the Branch, to foster a more sociable and friendly meeting between the members?

IRISH FOREIGN TRADE, 1910. DIRECTORY OF IRISH EXPORTING MANUFACTURERS.
A TRANSLATION FROM MISTRAL. · A Chara, The following lines, which I have transla from the French adaption of a Prov�n� by Frederic Mistral, may be of interest readers of AN CLAIDHEAMH. Mise, SEARLOIT NI DHEISIG TO OUR PEOPLE. Poor people of Provenc;e-Letting yo be led-Without shelter or defence-Abandd to outrages.
At school they tear from you-The ton of your ancestors-In warping your na They achieve your dishonour. Your old modes of speech-That expr your free thought-A stranger in pass' Forbids you to utter. . they have cramped your intellect-As fool they've mistaught you-Trying · machine-To make all of one pattern. Interpreting your history-They put y the wrong-They turn and they twisty As a people incapable. They say that their moon-Gives more than your sun-And your soul, that is -Sinks under their burden. They say that your £athers--Have naught that is worthy-The usurpers can so-For no one will answer. Your songs that are beautiful-Now;are gotten-For wretched inanities-Sent you elsewhere. You arrange not your feasts-You:play your games-Your dress it is altered.:_As J you are abject. Yet you are the mine-The source of a t Whe:re He from above-Sows eternal creati Our�Language and Proverbs-Atjyour he stones are cradled-You safeguard the hot, Of your beautiful daughters.

In view of the frequent demands from abroad for information as to the names of Irish firms who make goods suitabe for foreign mark.ets, the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland propose to undertake the preparation of a Directory of Exporting Manufacturers in Ireland for circulation in the Colonies, in North and South America, and other foreign markets. The list will consist of the names of Irish Manufactures, and will include agencies or depots existing for the special purpose of distributing Irish manufactured goods. The headings describing the various classes of goods wiH be published in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, and, if it seems desirable, in other languages. The Foreign Office and the Board of Trade, at the request of the Department, have agreed that copies of the Directory, when prepared, shall be placed in H.M. Consular Offices. Arrangements will also be made to have copies placed with the various Foreign Chambers of Commerce and other reresentative bodies who are in a position to assist in the development of Irish trade. The Directory will be issued in book form, and will include an introductory statement on the development of Irish trade. It is proposed, in the first instance, to issue an edition of 5, ooo copies, to be sent gratis by the Department to Consuls, Chambers of Commerce and Commercial Agencies in the Colonies and foreign countries. It is certain that such a list of Irish firms will be of practical use to Irishmen abroad who are anxious to help the development of Irish industries and the expansion of Ireland's trade, and it is hoped that Irish manufacturers will take advantage of this opportunity of having their manufactures made known. It shouldl be clearly understood that the special object of the Directory is for circulation in the Colonies and Foreign Countries, and not in Great Britain and Ireland where existing Directories of Irish Manufacturers are accessible and widely known .. Forms of application and a statement of the oondjtions. un�er which. names will be accepted for insertion m the Directory can be had on application to: The Secretary, The Department of Agriculture and Technical. Instruction for Ireland, 4 Upper Merrion Street, Dublin.
