and must not require for their representation a knowledge of geometrical operations other than those prescribed for this standard. The meaning of plan and elevation must be known.

Pupils should also be required to apply these geometrical operations to the construction of simple borders and patterns, which should be inventive as well as imitative.

In the Fifth Standard, pupils are to be familiarised with the following geometrical operations: the construction of triangles and of quadrilaterals from given data (not more than two cases for any one figure); the general method, and in each case one special method, of constructing a regular pentagon, a regular hexagon, and a regular octagon (1) on a given straight line, (2) within a given circle; the method of enlarging and reducing given figures by means of proportional scales; how to find the centre of a given circle; how to draw a circle to touch a given circle; how to draw a tangent to a given circle (1) from a given point on its circumference, (2) from a given point without it. Pupils must be able to make freehand dimensioned sketches either from actual objects or representations thereof, and then to draw the object to scale. The instruction in scale drawing must include practice in drawing plans and elevations of simple objects, based on the cube and square prism.

In the Sixth Standard, where model drawing is not taken, the pupils must have a general knowledge of and be able to draw plans and elevations (front and end) of the geometrical solids prescribed for model drawing for this standard, and of simple objects based thereon.

Course of Drawing.

46. Subject to clauses 44 and 45 the following shall be the course of drawing for the various standards. Where, however, a course of hand-work that includes drawing is taken up, the specific requirements of this clause may be lightened to a corresponding extent. (See also clause 59.)

STANDARD I.

Drawing, with and without ruler and set-squares, of rectilineal figures, of straight lines, of angles, and of actual objects; elementary geometrical notions; elementary design; memory drawing. (See clauses 45 and 46.)

STANDARD II.

As for Standard I., but more advanced. The instruction in freehand is to include practice in drawing simple curves. (See clauses 45 and 46.)

STANDARD III.

As for Standard II., but more advanced. The instruction in freehand is to include practice in drawing simple curvilinear forms. Ruler-work is to include very elementary exercises in drawing to scale. (See clauses 45 and 46.)

STANDARD IV.

Drawing with aid of instruments, drawing to scale, pattern-drawing Freehand drawing is to be in advance of that for Standard III. (See clauses 45 and 46.)

STANDARD V.

As for Standard IV., but more advanced. (See clauses 45 and 46.)

STANDARD VI.

Freehand drawing is to be in advance of that for Standard V. Instruction is to be given in either freehand drawing from simple models, or elementary solid geometry. (See clauses 45 and 46.)

These requirements are further explained in clauses below.

The solid or object treated of should be placed in the simplest positions with regard to the vertical and horizontal planes.

It will be beneficial to pupils if the instruction in geometrical notions and geometrical drawing is combined with instruction in paper-work, carton and cardboard work modelling.

PHYSICAL DRILL.

47. Exercises selected from those given below, or any set of similar suitable exercises.

PRELIMINARY.

The following commands need not be explained here: “Fall in”; “Attention”; “Right dress”; “Eyes front”; “Stand at ease”; “Right turn”; “Left turn”; “Right incline”; “Left incline”; “About turn”;
