1. The Education Board of any district in which any normal school or
   training college is situated shall have the entire control and management
   of such school or college, subject to the provisions hereinafter made.

2. Every normal school or training college shall be so organized as to
   afford to persons of both sexes intending to become teachers in public
   schools the means of acquiring sufficient knowledge of the subjects which
   they will afterwards be required to teach, and of theories of education and
   methods of teaching, and also to afford to such persons sufficient oppor-
   tunity 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 distinction between applicants residing within
   the bounds of the education district in which such institution is situated
   and applicants residing in an education district where 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 lectures 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, and a practising
   school so established or maintained shall not be subject to the control of
   the School Committee of the school district in which it is situate; or, the
   Board 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. In every normal school the time-table shall be so constructed as to
   allow each student to spend five hours a week, or so much time in the
   year as shall be equal to five hours a week for the year, in the actual
   work of teaching, and it shall be the duty of the principal officer of the
   normal school to see that each student actually spends in the practice of
   teaching the amount of time so allowed.

7. Every Education Board having the control of a normal school or
   training college shall frame regulations for the organization and conduct of
   the institution, and shall submit such regulations to the Minister of Edu-
   cation; and upon receiving his approval such regulations shall come into
   force, and shall not be altered or amended without his authority. Such
   regulations shall relate to the matters following:—

The number, status, salaries, and duties of the officers of the training
college;

The terms of admission to the college;

The time during which each student will be required or allowed to
continue at the college;

The subjects of study, and the time allotted to each (approximately);

The arrangements for employing students in the actual work of
teaching, and the proportion of time spent in such work;

The relations of the training college and of its officer or officers to
the practising school;

The organization of the practising school.

IX.—SCHOLARSHIPS.

1. The Education Board of any district may make regulations under
   which scholarships such as are described in “The Education Act, 1877,”
   section fifty-one, may be competed for and held; but such regulations
   shall not come into operation until they shall have been submitted to the
   Minister of Education, and shall have been approved of by him.

2. No regulations shall be approved of by the Minister unless they set
   forth—

(a.) Whether the scholarships are open to all children of school age,

(see section fifty-one of “Education Act, 1877”);

(b.) Any other conditions of candidature (for example, as to age);

(c.) The annual value of each scholarship, the term for which it is to
