These shall be allotted in order—first, to those qualified under subclause (a) (i) hereof; and, secondly, to those qualified under subclauses (a) (ii) and (a) (iii) hereof; and, if necessary, an examination may be held to determine to which candidates under subclauses (a) (ii) and (a) (iii) scholarships shall be allotted.

11. Notwithstanding the above provisions the principal may, with the consent of the Board, admit to training for such a period (not exceeding two years) as he may determine any teacher of a public school or of a secondary school whom he may deem worthy of further training in professional work. No allowances shall be payable in such cases.

17. Subject to the general control and management of the Board, the principal shall have full control of the staff of the normal school and training college and of the students; he shall also have power to arrange for the several courses of instruction in accordance with the requirements named above, to allot to himself and the other members of the staff such subjects of instruction as he may find convenient and the Board may approve, to choose text-books, and to determine the course of study and training of each student.
