Abstract
These reports, taken from the contemporary newspapers, show the imperial loyalty leagues ‘in action’. The British Empire League was founded in 1895 and was, in effect, a replacement for the Imperial Federation League, which had dissolved in 1893. It took a role in organising the imperial conferences of 1897, 1902, 1907 and 1911, and lobbied for the introduction of an imperial ‘penny post’. Another aspect of its work was to organise imperial exhibitions. Imperial statues were unveiled as a result of its work and the British Empire Club opened in St. James Square in 1910. The League of Empire (LOE) focused on education and staged ten imperial education conferences in 1907 in London. Out of these conferences emerged the Imperial Union of Teachers in 1913. A number of textbooks were overseen by the LOE. A. F. Pollard’s’ book The British Empire: Its Past, Its Present, and Its Future was one of the first to be published. The LOE also had its own publication, called the Federal. Lord Meath was one of the LOE’s vice presidents. The Victoria League, founded in 1901, was an organisation which included more women. Its emphasis was on producing hospitality, friendship and education through and about the Empire. It established branches across the Dominions and set itself the task of providing information about them. Libraires were established in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Canada. Correspondence schemes were established, and it also opened the Ladies Empire Club in Grosvenor Street. After the South African War, it tended war graves, and in the 1920s it began to host overseas students .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
