Moffatt's Scholarship Answers.

MIDSUMMER, 1882.

REMARKS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

1. DATE OF EXAMINATION.

"An examination of candidates for admission into Training Colleges is annually held at each college in summer (see 6), commencing on the first Wednesday after the 2nd of July." See New Code, Article 46.

(Intending candidates would do well to obtain a copy of the New Code from the publishers of this work, price 44d.; post free, 5d.)

2. SUBJECTS OF EXAMINATION.

In addition to the list given in the Index, candidates will be examined in Reading; and Needlework will be required of female candidates.

Candidates who have passed in any one of certain specified science subjects will receive additional marks. Read carefully the following extract from the fifth schedule of the New Code:

A paper will be set at the examination of candidates for admission to training schools in (1) Latin; (2) Greek; (3) French; (4) German.

This paper will contain grammatical questions and easy passages for translation into English.

Marks will also be given to any candidate who, at

one of the examinations held in May of each year by the Department of Science and Art, has taken a first class in the elementary stage, or passed in the advanced stage, of one of the following subjects: viz., (5) Mechanics; (6) Chemistry; (7) Animal Physiology; (8) Acoustics, Light and Heat; (9) Magnetism, Electricity; (10) Physiography; (11) Botany; (12) Principles of Agriculture.

Candidates may obtain marks at the admission examination for any one (but not more) in each group (1 to 4, and 5 to 11) of these twelve subjects.

In Music, additional marks will be given to candidates who pass the following examination in practical skill:

1. Sounding single notes, or passages of two or more notes, in a given scale, from dictation; or, naming such notes sounded by the examiner.

2. Sol-faing, or reading without musical intonation, a unison passage of one or more measures in time; or, giving the time names of such measure, or measures, recited by the examiner.

The examination in Euclid extends to the end of Book II.; the Mensuration is of plane surfaces only, and the Algebra takes in quadratic equations.

3. ADMISSION TO EXAMINATION.

The candidates are selected and admitted to the examination by the authorities of each college, on their own responsibility, subject to no other conditions on the part of the Department than that the candidates— (a) will be more than eighteen years of age on the 1st of January next following the date of the examination; or,

(b) have successfully completed their engagement as pupil-teachers, or will do so before the next following examination.

The candidates who pass the examination are arranged in three classes in order of merit.

4. ADMISSION INTO TRAINING COLLEGES.

The authorities of a college may propose to the Department for admission

(a) Any candidate examined under Article 46, who has obtained a place in the first or second class in the examination;

(b) Without examination any certificated teacher who has not previously been trained during two years, and who wishes to enter the college for a year's training, in the course prescribed for students of the second year.

Such candidates, when admitted, are termed Queen's Scholars.

Before candidates are admitted—

(a) The medical officer of the college must certify the state of their health to be satisfactory, and that they are free from serious bodily defect or deformity; and,

(b) They must sign a declaration that they intend bona fide to adopt and follow the profession of teacher in a Public Elementary School or Training College, or in the Army or Navy, or (within Great Britain) in Poor Law Schools, Certified Industrial or Day Industrial Schools, or Certified Reformatories.

The authorities of each college settle their own terms of admission.

Upon proof by the authorities of any college that candidates have not fulfilled the conditions signed by them on admission into the college, the Department will refuse to grant teachers' certificates to such candidates, or to admit them to probation for certificates.

5. GENERAL REMARKS.

Intending candidates having selected the college they prefer to enter if successful, should write to the principal, stating their wish, and ask for information
