THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
SIR,
We have the honour to submit a complete report of the examination and classification of teachers and candidates for certificates.
The examination by papers began on the 27th January, and lasted for six and a-half days. In addition, those who had not previously given sufficient proof of ability as teachers were required to teach a class in the presence of one of the examiners. Sixty-one candidates in all were examined, of whom three entered for the first class, thirteen for the second, and forty-five for the third and assistants' classes. There was great variety in the selection made by the first and second class candidates in the optional subjects. Algebra, Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Astronomy, and History, were most frequently chosen; but every optional subject was taken up by one or other candidate, except Greek, Botany, Chemistry, and first-class Music and Drawing. The examiners would have been glad to see more teachers professing a knowledge of music, drawing, and drill. We enclose copies of the papers. Those on modern languages were set by the Rev. C. Turrell, to whose valuable assistance in this part of the examination we are much indebted. The greater part of the needlework was examined by Miss Stothard; who also rendered important service by being in attendance on every occasion when female candidates were present.
