HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
BY virtue of the powers and authorities vested in
me by "The Education Act, 1877," I, George
Augustus Constantine, Marquis of Normanby, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the said colony, do hereby make the following
regulations for the management of normal or train-
ing colleges or schools, that is to say, -

  1. The Education Board of any district in which

    have the entire control and management of such
    school or college, subject to the provisions herein-
    after made.
  2. Every normal school or training college shall be
    so organized as to afford to persons of both sexes in-
    tending to become teachers in public schools the
    means of acquiring sufficient knowledge of the sub-
    jects which they will afterwards be required to teach,
    and of theories of education and methods of teach-
    ing, and also to afford to such persons sufficient
    opportunity of practising the art of teaching.
  3. The terms of admission to any normal school or
    training college shall be such as to make no distinc-
    tion between applicants residing within the bounds
    of the education district in which such institution is 1313
    situate, and applicants residing in an education dis-
    trict in which there is no such institution.
  4. In the arrangement of the plan of study in any
    normal school or training college regard shall be had
    to the opportunities of instruction offered to the
    students in such school or college by means of lec-
    tures in any neighbouring institution affiliated to the
    University of New Zealand.
  5. Any Education Board having the control of a
    normal school or training college may establish or
    maintain, in connection with such school or college,
    a public school to be used as a practising school; or
    may agree with the Committee of any school district
    for the use of any public school within such district as a
    practising school, subject to such conditions as may
    be agreed upon with regard to the relations which
    shall in that case subsist between the principal officer
    of the training college and the head master of the
    public school.
  6. Every Education Board having the control of a
    normal school or training college shall frame regula-
    tions for the organization and conduct of the insti-
    tution, and shall submit such regulations to the
    Minister of Education; and upon receiving his
    approval such regulations shall come into force, and
    shall not be altered or amended without his autho-
    rity. Such regulations shall relate to the matters
    following:β€”

  • The time during which each student will be re-
    quired or allowed to continue at the college;
  • The subjects of study, and the time allotted to
    each (approximately);

    actual work of teaching, and the proportion
    of time spent in such work;
