of Clay—Nitrogenous, oleaginous, and amylaceous
food—Putrefaction — Decay — Fermentation — Dis-
tillation of coal gas—Coke—Uses of tar—Benzol
Aniline colours—Carbolic acid.
Biology.—Properties of living matter—Plants and
animals — Plants — Composition and nutrition—

physiology: Composition and general form of the
body—The bones, muscles, and connective tissues—
Names and positions of internal organs—Alimenta-
tion—The blood — Circulation — Respiration— The
kidneys and their secretion — Animal heat—Senses
and nerves—General laws of health—Cleanliness in
person, food, water, and air — Clothing and temper-
ance—Elements of classification of animals.
12. The class for which a certificate is granted
being determined by examination, the division within
the class shall depend—first, on the number of years
during which the teacher has been actually engaged
in school-teaching, one mark being assigned for two
years' service, two marks for five years, three marks
for eight years, four marks for eleven years, and five
marks for fourteen years and upwards; and second,
on the judgment of the Inspector in whose district
the teacher is at work, such judgment being expressed
by marks numbering 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10, according to
the Inspector's estimate of less or greater efficiency;
and, the marks of both series being added, 14 marks
shall qualify for the first division, 11 marks for the
second, 8 marks for the third, 5 marks for the fourth,
and 3 marks for the fifth. On the thirtieth day of
June in each year, teachers who, by length of service,
or upon a more favourable judgment expressed by
the Inspector before the thirty-first day of May,
shall have become entitled to promotion to a higher
division, shall receive such promotion.
13. Candidates who fail to pass the examination
for Class E, but who do not fall far short of the
requirements for that class, may receive from the
Minister of Education a license to teach, which
license shall be in force for two years only from the
date at which it is issued, but may, at the discretion
of the Minister, be renewed from time to time, and
which while it is in force shall have the force of a
certificate.
14. Teachers who hold certificates of Education
Boards in New Zealand, such certificates having been
granted before the thirty-first day of December, 1878,
shall, subject to the provisions of Regulation 15,
receive from the Minister certificates or licenses to
teach, such as shall in his judgment be equivalent in
value to the certificates which they already hold;
and generally a certificate of any class may be granted
to a candidate whose qualifications, not being pre-
cisely those prescribed for such class in Regulation
10, but being sufficiently attested, shall appear to the
Minister to be of equal value with the qualifications
so prescribed.
15. A certificate issued under the first part of
Regulation 14 shall be only a provisional certificate,
unless the teacher in whose favour it is issued can
show that he has already passed an examination in
some department of physical or natural science, or
until he pass the examination in elementary science
prescribed by Regulation 11. The holder of such
provisional certificate will be expected to pass the
examination in elementary science within two years
from the date of the issue of the certificate. Similar
provisional certificates may be granted to candidates
who, at the first examination held under these regu-
lations, comply with every requirement except those
expressed in Regulation 11. Provisional certificates
may also be granted to candidates under twenty-one
years of age who have passed the examination for
any class.
16. In the month of June in each year, a list of
teachers holding certificates and licenses shall be
issued by the Minister of Education, and such
list shall set forth, in every case of promotion to a
higher class or division, the reason of such promotion;
and after the publication of such list every teacher
who has been so promoted shall be entitled, upon
making due application to the Minister, to have a
record of his promotion indorsed upon his certificate.
17. The Minister of Education shall have power to
cancel any certificate or license to teach if the holder
of the certificate shall at any time be proved guilty
of immoral conduct or gross misbehaviour, within
the meaning of "The Education Act, 1877," or of
any subsequent Act.
18. These regulations shall come into force upon
the date hereof.

Clerk of the Executive Council,
