   well developed and active in proportion to his age.
   Before being examined by the Civil Service Commis-
   sioners he will be required to pass the medical ex-
   amination according to the prescribed regulations,
   and must have been found physically fit for the

   certificate of the date of his birth, * or a declaration
   thereof made before a Magistrate; (2) a certificate of
   good conduct from the masters of the school or
   schools at which he may have been educated during
   the two previous years, or, if educated at home, from
   his tutor or the clergyman of the parish in which he
   resides; and (3) a certificate of good health.

of Euclid's Elements ... 300

The final order of merit will be determined by the
sum of marks obtained in the test, as well as in the
further examination.

In arithmetic the candidate will be required to
obtain five-tenths, and in each of the other subjects
of the test examination four-tenths, of the marks
allotted thereto. In English the candidate must
obtain four-tenths of the marks allotted for each of
the two subdivisions of the subject.

9. Colonial and service cadets will be appointed on
   passing the test examination; they must, however,
   obtain 660 marks in the aggregate, as well as the
   proportion of marks in arithmetic and other subjects
   required from the candidates who compete.

10. A candidate who passes the test examination,
    but does not succeed in the competition, will be
    entitled to compete at the next examination, provided
    he is within the regulations as to limits of age at
    that time. No candidate will be allowed to compete
    more than twice. A candidate who fails to pass the
    test will not be entitled to another trial, but he will
    be allowed to compete at the next examination if he
    receives a fresh nomination and is still within the
    limits of age.

11. A candidate who, owing to illness, fails to
    appear at the examination for which he has obtained
    his nomination may receive a second nomination,
    provided he is still within the limits of age.

12. For all cadets entered under these regulations
    the payment will be at the rate of £70 per annum for

the period in the "Britannia," to be paid half-yearly
in advance to the Accountant-General of the Navy.
But the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
reserve the power of selecting from among the
cadets entered at each half-yearly examination a
number, not to exceed ten, being sons of officers of
the navy, army, or marines, or of civil officers under
the Board of Admiralty, with respect to whom the
annual payment will be £40 only. In this selection
their Lordships will have regard solely to the pecu-
niary circumstances of the cadets.

13. The period of training on board the "Britannia"
    will be four terms; there will be two terms in each
    year. The first term of each year will be from
    February to July, the second from September to
    December.
    The vacations will be five weeks at Christmas, two
    weeks at Easter, and six weeks at Midsummer.

14. There will be examinations in seamanship and
    study at the end of each term.
    Cadets who pass unsatisfactory examinations, or
    who are reported for unsatisfactory conduct, will be
    "warned," and they will be liable to be discharged
    at the end of the following or any subsequent term
    should they again be reported as failing to attain the
    proper number of marks at the examinations, or for
    unsatisfactory conduct.
    If a cadet is reported for unsatisfactory conduct
    during his final term he will be discharged without
    being allowed to present himself at the examination
    for passing out of the "Britannia."
    Any cadet who shall appear to their Lordships for
    any reason to be unfit for the service will be removed
    from the "Britannia."

15. It is to be distinctly understood that the period
    of training on board the "Britannia" is a time of
    probation, and the parent or guardian of every cadet
    will be required to sign a declaration (on the admis-
    sion of the cadet to the "Britannia") to the effect that
    he shall be immediately withdrawn on the receipt of
    an official intimation of his being considered unfit for
    the navy.

16. Cadets will, on passing out of the "Britannia,"
    rank according to the amount of sea-time they ob-
    tain at their final examination, and those who obtain
    equal amounts of sea-time will rank in the order of
    merit in which they pass out of the "Britannia."

17. The parent or guardian of every cadet will be
    required to provide outfit under the regulations in
    force.

18. Pay and pocket-money will not be allowed by
    Government to cadets entered in and after June,

By command of their Lordships.
