first importance; and, in order that a proper style may be cultivated, four pages of Vere Foster’s copybook No. 11 or The Times copybook No. 14 are to be written daily—two during office-hours, and two during the learners’ own time.
187. A diary is to be kept at each gallery by the instructor for entry of anything worthy of record in connection with the day’s work.

ERRORS AND IRREGULARITIES.
189. All postal or telegraph errors (except errors in telegrams) and irregularities must be reported without delay, the postal to the Inspector and the telegraph to the Secretary, through the ordinary channel. Errors in telegrams are reported to the Accountant on Form Acct. 66. Any Postmaster or officer failing in this duty will, in addition to being fined, incur the serious displeasure of the Minister.
190. An error-book must be kept in each chief post-office, also in the telegraph-offices at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier, Wakapuaka, and Wellington, in which a record is to be made of each error or irregularity committed at chief or sub-post-offices. In the Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier, and Wellington Postal Districts the Officers in Charge will keep the record of telegraph errors for the district, and at Wakapuaka the Officer in Charge for his own office. The entries must show the nature of the error, the date of its occurrence, the number of the official record or fine-voucher, the name of the officer at fault, and the notice taken of the matter.
All errors or irregularities for which the Chief Postmaster or Officer in Charge considers it necessary to administer a caution are, at his discretion, to be entered in the error-book, as well as cases in which punishment is ordered to be inflicted by the General Post Office.
191. At the end of each quarter a summary of errors is to be supplied to the Secretary on Form P.O. 200.
192. Every missent article must be date-stamped on the address side with the stamp of the office to which it has been missent, preceded by the words “Missent to,” and a report made on the proper form. The article must then be forwarded to its proper destination by the first opportunity. In reporting the missending of correspondence Postmasters should invariably give the index-letter, number, or time of the date-stamp of the despatching office.
