ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Auckland, this eighth day
of February, 1890.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

In exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities
vested in him by "The Education Act, 1877," the Go-
vernor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the colony, doth hereby amend the regulation relating to
inspection of schools and standards of examination made by
Order in Council dated the fifth day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-seven, by cancelling the eighteenth
section of the said regulation, and substituting for it the
words of the Schedule hereto; and, with the like advice and
consent, doth prescribe that this order shall come into force
on the date hereof.

SCHEDULE.

18. The drawing required as a pass-subject or temporarily
    as a class-subject for the several standards shall be as fol-
    lows:—
    Standard I.: Straight lines of different lengths and in
    different positions, such lines joined at different angles, and
    connected to form simple figures and designs. This work is
    to be done without ruler.

Standard II.: Similar work of a more advanced character.

Standard III.: Freehand drawing of regular forms and
curved figures from the flat.

Standard IV.: Practical plane geometry, including draw-
ing to scale. Freehand drawing to be kept up.

Standard V.: The same as Standard IV., but more ad-
vanced.

Standard VI.: Elementary solid geometry and model
drawing. Freehand to be kept up.

The series of drawing-books issued by authority of the
Minister of Education shows the kind of work required by
this regulation.

[Note.—The pupils should be taught as early as possible
to draw from actual objects, such as the doors, windows,
furniture, and apparatus of the schoolroom.]

Drawing may be taught as an "additional subject" for
any standard higher than Standard III. Such drawing for
any standard may be the drawing prescribed for a higher
standard, or some drawing not prescribed as a pass-subject.
