Examination of Teachers.

Education Department,
Wellington, 10th June, 1879.
THE following is the list of candidates who passed
at the examination held at the end of March,
1879. Of the successful candidates those only are
entitled to certificates who have attained the age of
twenty-one years, have been engaged in school-
teaching for at least two years, and have had marks
assigned to them for their school-work. The list
contains the names of some candidates who have
qualified for a provisional certificate only, and who
will receive from the department notice of the sub-
jects in which they will be required to undergo
further examination. The regulation as to the issue
of provisional certificates to those who have, at this
first examination under "The Education Act, 1877,"
declined to be examined in elementary science has
been extended and made to apply to music and
drawing, as well as to elementary science. In
some cases the issue of the certificate will be deferred
for reasons of which the candidates will be informed
by the department. An asterisk before a name
signifies that the issue of the certificate will be thus
deferred, or that the candidate is entitled to a pro-
visional certificate only.
