† Name of controlling authority.

Voluntary contributions must be in money, except that where a building is given or granted rent-free by any person not being a controlling authority, or by any local authority, for the purpose of classes under this Act, account may be taken of the value or annual rental of such building on the basis of the assessment for local rates, and account may be taken of new books, new apparatus, and new material given for the use of classes under the Act at their market value, provided that such books, apparatus, and material are such as are, in the opinion of the Minister, required for the use of such classes.

X.—Inspection.

An Inspector of the Department will from time to time visit classes under this Act, and report on the condition and suitability of the premises and fittings, sufficiency of the apparatus, &c., used in the instruction, the character and quality of the instruction, the sufficiency of the teaching staff for the number of pupils under instruction, the general management of the classes, and the manner in which the regulations for registration, examination, &c., are carried out.

The Inspector may question any pupil in the subject in which he has been under instruction, and may, if reasonable notice has been given, examine any class established under this Act.

In the case of associated classes, a representative of the managers must, if required, be present when the Inspector visits the school; but sufficient notice will be given, and the Inspector may require the production of such accounts and documents as will enable him to verify the allocation of the receipts and expenditure in respect of such classes.

XI.—General.

Registers of attendance must be kept on the forms supplied by the Education Department.

A time-table showing the subjects and hours of instruction and the names of the instructors must be put up in a conspicuous place wherever classes are held.

Not more than twenty hours in any one week will in any case be counted on account of any student for all subjects altogether.

A full programme of work to be done during the year and a satisfactory proof of the competency of the instructor must be transmitted to the Minister before the commencement of the instruction, otherwise no claims can be recognised. It should be understood that no payment can be made on account of any class whose programme of work is not approved by the Minister. The Education Department will from time to time issue programmes of work which will serve as guides as to the character and amount of work expected.

The payment on account of special and associated classes will be based in general upon the average attendance, but no payment will be made on account of any student who has attended less than half the number of times on which the class was held after the date on which he joins that class.

All claims for payment must be made on forms to be obtained from the Department.

All manual and technical work must be carried on in rooms adapted for the purpose, fitted with the apparatus or tools suitable for the practical teaching of the particular science, art, or branch of industry.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
