THE HONOURABLE W. C. WALKER PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

IN exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him by “The Civil Service Reform Act, 1886,” and by “The Civil Service Examination Act, 1900,” His Excellency the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the colony, doth hereby, in respect of the regulations made by Order in Council on the first day of August, one thousand nine hundred and one, make the alterations and additions set forth in the Schedule hereto; and with the like advice and consent doth provide that this Order shall come into force on the date of the first publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

SCHEDULE.

In the regulations for the Junior Examination,--

Clause 3 is amended by the omission of all the words after the words “except that,” and by the insertion of the following words in lieu thereof: “every candidate that gains less than 30 per cent. of the maximum of marks assignable in any of the five subjects in which he is examined shall be deemed to have failed in that subject, and the marks assigned to his work in that subject shall not be included in the total of marks by which his place in the order of merit is determined. Every candidate that gains 40 per cent. or upwards of the aggregate maximum of marks assignable for the five subjects in which he is examined, exclusive of the marks assigned to him for any subject in which he may have failed, shall be deemed to have passed the Junior Examination, and the name of every candidate that so passes the Junior Examination, and no other name, shall be included in the list of names in order of merit to be published as aforesaid.”

Clause 5 is amended by omitting all the words down to the word “Book-keeping,” at the end of the list of optional subjects, and by substituting the following words in lieu thereof:—

“ At every Junior Examination every candidate shall be examined in five subjects, and no more than five—two of which shall be the two subjects of Group I., and three shall be subjects chosen by the candidate out of the twenty-one subjects comprised in Group II. and Group III., at least one of these three being taken from Group II.

“ COMPULSORY FOR ALL CANDIDATES.

“ Group I.

“ (1.) English;
(2.) Arithmetic,

“ OPTIONAL SUBJECTS.

“ Group II.

“ (3.) Geography;
(4.) Elementary chemistry;
(5.) Sound, light, and heat;
(6.) Magnetism and electricity;
(7.) Elementary botany;
(8.) Elementary zoology;
(9.) Elementary geology;
(10.) Elementary human physiology.

“ Group III.

“ (11.) Greek;
(12.) Latin;
(13.) French;
(14.) German;
(15.) Italian;
(16.) Spanish;
(17.) Maori;

(20.) English history;
(21.) Shorthand;
(22.) Book-keeping;
(23.) Drawing.”

Clause 5, “Scope of Examination,” is amended by revoking the definition of “Elementary Mathematics,” and substituting the following definition in lieu thereof:—

“ Algebra.—Fundamental operations; factors; common multiples and divisors; fractions; simple equations involving one or two unknown quantities; problems involving simple equations; and also, after January, 1904, easy quadratic equations involving one unknown quantity, with easy problems; graphs of simple algebraic functions within the limits of the foregoing work, and graphical methods of solving simple equations involving two unknown quantities.

“ Geometry.—The ground covered by Euclid in Book I., and in propositions 1 to 7 and, after January, 1904, propositions 11 to 14 of Book II. The constructions and proofs of problems or theorems need not be the same as Euclid’s. The theorems may be proved without regard to the order of the problems of construction; but one theorem must not be made to depend on another theorem if in Euclid the latter is, directly or indirectly, dependent on the former. Similarly, the solutions of the problems of construction may be independent of the order of the theorems; but one problem of construction must not be made to depend on another if in Euclid the latter is, directly or indirectly, dependent on the former.”

The same clause is further amended by the insertion of the following words after the words “Sound, Light, Heat”: “Candidates may answer questions either in (a) sound and light, or in (b) heat; but no candidate shall be required to answer questions in both (a) and (b).”

The same clause is further amended by the addition of the following definition of elementary geology:—

“ Elementary Geology.—The composition, form, size, and heat of the earth. Divisions of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic. Rock-structure: lamination, stratification, false bedding, cleavage, foliation, joints, columnar jointing. General characters and composition of the following groups of minerals, with special reference to their New Zealand localities: quartz, opal, and chalcedony; feldspars; micas; hornblendes and augites; carbonates of lime and magnesia; oxides and sulphides of iron. The general characters of the following types of rocks and a knowledge of their occurrence in New Zealand: granite; diorite; gabbro; rhyolite; andesite; basalt; volcanic glasses, pumice, and volcanic dust; conglomerates, sands, and sandstones; clays, shales, and slates; limestones and coals; rock-salt and gypsum; gneiss and schists. Texture of igneous and of sedimentary rocks. Agents producing changes in the earth’s surface: volcanoes; earthquakes. Disturbed strata: dip, strike, outcrop, contorted and overthrown strata, anticlinal and synclinal axes, faults, slickensides, dykes. Denuding agents and their work: rain, running water above and below ground, the sea, frost and frozen water, wind, animal and vegetable agencies. Deposition of sediment. Landscape: plains, valleys, formation of escarpments, lateral and transverse streams, lakes, destruction of valleys, mountains, effects of joints and faults, dry valleys. Economic geology: water, artesian wells, mineral and hot springs; coal and oil; building-stone, roofing-slate, sands, lime and cement, clay; road-metal, flagstone; ornamental stone; grindstones; fuller’s earth, salt, phosphate, soils, metals, lodes and veins. Recognition of New Zealand rocks and minerals named above, from specimens or descriptions.”

The same clause is further amended by revoking the definition of book-keeping, and substituting the following definition in lieu thereof:—

“ The object and value of book-keeping. Double entry: its meaning and advantages. The form, nature, and classification of accounts. The balancing and closing of accounts.
