PREFACE. THE hints and advice contained in this book were formerly those given to private pupils of the Author, when preparing them for similar Examinations. They have since been offered and fully appreciated by other general candidates sitting at the Scholarship and Certificate Examinations, and by a large number of Acting Teachers. The present edition has been enlarged, by adding useful particulars relating to each of the Training Colleges in detail, and by specimen papers of questions set at recent Examinations. Many of the instructions given in the following pages are the result of actual inquiries and difficulties met with, in the course of correspondence with several thousand ex-Pupil Teachers, Acting Teachers, and others, during the past five years. The Author hopes that the work in its present form will be found as useful in the future, as the early editions have practically proved to those who presented themselves as candidates at the past Examinations.
