Have passed the first section of his B.A. or B.Sc. degree ; or (ii.) Have gained credit at the University Junior Scholarship Examination; or (iii.) Have kept terms for at least one year at a university college; or (iv.) Have passed the Matriculation Examination of the University of New Zealand : (b.) Comply with such conditions as to probation in teaching as the principal of the training college with the approval of the Board may require : (c.) Satisfy conditions (d) and (c) as for students under Division A. The allowances payable to a student under Division B shall be £10 a year, together with the fees of the university college classes attended by the student with the approval of the principal. Further, in each training college there may be allotted in each year not more than four board-ing-scholarships to students under Division B who are obliged to live away from home to attend a training college. These shall be allotted in order—first, to those qualified under subelause (a) (i.) hereof; secondly, to those qualified under subelause (a) (ii.) hereof; thirdly, to those qualified under subelause (a) (iii.) hereof; and, fourthly, to those qualified under subelause (a) (iv.) hereof; and, if necessary, an examination may be held to determine to which candidates scholarships shall be allotted. Each of these scholarships shall be of the annual value of £30 a year, in addition to the allowances named above. The scholarships shall not be tenable with any other scholarships. 9. None of the allowances or scholarships named in clause 8 hereof shall be payable in the case of any student for a greater period than two years. 10. University college fees will not be paid in respect of any classes at which the student's attendance and progress have not been satisfactory, or if such fees have been paid the amount may be deducted from any allowances due to him. 11. Notwithstanding anything in the above provisions, the Board may admit to the training college, for such period (not exceeding two years) as it may determine, any teacher of a public school or of a secondary school who, on the certificate of an Inspector of Schools or the recommendation of the Board of Governors of such secondary school respectively, may be deemed worthy of further training in professional work. No allowances shall be payable in such cases. 12. In no case shall the number of students admitted in any year under Division B or under clause 11 hereof be so great as thereby to make the total number of all students in attendance at the training college more than eighty. 13. All allowances to students shall, subject to the restrictions named in these regulations, be paid at the end of each quarter. Curriculum. 14. The curriculum of each training college shall provide for a two-years' course of training for each student, and shall be subject to the approval or the Minister of Education. 15. In the arrangement of the curriculum regard shall be had to the opportunities of instruction offered by means of lectures at the university college ; and, while it shall be borne in mind that the chief aim of the course to be taken up by any student is to develop the powers and character that mark a good teacher, the requirements of the Teachers' Certificate Examination, and, if possible, of a university degree, shall, as far as they contribute to this end, receive due weight. 16. The curriculum shall include— (i.) Attendance at the university college at such courses of lectures in English and in such other subject or subjects as the principal shall approve for each student. (ii.) The principles and history of education; methods of teaching. (iii.) Special courses in elementary handwork and in science for public schools (including nature study and elementary agriculture.) (iv.) Courses in physical drill and singing, and in needlework, drawing, and other subjects of manual instruction. (v.) Sufficient and regular practice in teaching at the normal school. 17. Subject to the general control and management of the Board, the principal shall have full control of the staff of the normal school and training college and of the students; he shall also have power to arrange for the several courses of instruction in accordance with the requirements named above, to allot to himself and the other members of the staff such subjects of instruction as he may find convenient ami the Board may approve, to choose text books, and to determine the course of study and training of each student. 18. The Board may at any time, on the receipt of a report from the principal, dismiss a student or direct him to cease attendance at the training college on the ground of incompetency, repeated neglect of duty, or gross misbehavior, and all allowances to such student shall thereupon cease. 19. The principal shall make an annual report to the Board of the work of the training college, and the Board shall forward that report, with such other report as it may desire to make, to the Minister of Education before the 31st January in each year. 20. The Inspector-General of Schools shall inspect each training college from time to time, and shall report annually to the Minister.
