(d.) Geometrical drawing :—Plane geometry : Simple
problems relating to straight lines and angles, and to
the construction of triangles and quadrilaterals. To
divide a given line proportionally to a given divided line;
to find the mean or the third proportional to two given
lines; to find the fourth proportional to three given
lines. Scale drawing and the method of making an
enlargement or a reduction of a given diagram. Simple
problems relating to circles and straight lines. Construction-
ion of a regular polygon of n sides, one of the sides or
the circumscribing circle being given. Construction of
similar figures. Construction of three-sided and four-
sided rectilinear figures of given area. Given two
similar figures, to construct a third figure similar to
them, and having an area equal to the sum or to the dif-
ference of the areas of the given figures. The reduction
of any given rectilinear figure to a triangle of the same
area. Solid geometry: Plans and elevations of straight
lines and plane figures variously placed with regard to
the horizontal plane, and of simple geometrical solids
having one face or one edge in the horizontal plane.
Sections of such solids by vertical and by horizontal
planes; the method of finding the true form of a sec-
tion.

(e.) Perspective drawing : (i.) The representation in
perspective of lines or surfaces on or parallel or perpendi-
cular to the ground plane and either parallel or perpendi-
cular or obliquely inclined to the picture plane, or obliquely
inclined to the ground plane and parallel or perpendi-
cular to the picture plane, but not obliquely inclined to
both planes. (ii.) The representation in perspective,
from plans and elevations or from specifications, of simple
geometrical solids or common objects of plane or cy-
lindrical or conical surfaces, the leading construction-
lines of which are in one or the other of the positions
indicated in (i). (iii.) To find and describe from given
perspective views the actual dimensions and position
of an object placed in accordance with the conditions
indicated in (ii).

(/.) Brush drawing : Brush impressions and brush
strokes. The application of these elements to the orna-
mentation of given geometric spaces and to the pro-
duction of simple borders and patterns. The drawing
of simple leaf, flower, and plant forms, and the adapta-
tion of these forms to decorative purposes.

Candidates are required to pass in at least three
branches, of which blackboard drawing shall be one. A
candidate that has obtained a second-class certificate at
the examination of the Board of Education, South
Kensington, London, in any of the above divisions
will be exempted from examination in the division
in which he has so passed.

(6.) Elementary Human Physiology.—The chief differences
between animals and plants, especially as regards nutri-
tion. Structure of bone and of cartilage ; the principal
bones and the general arrangement of the skeleton;
structure of the principal joints. Muscles, their struc-
ture, mode of attachment, and functions. The structure
and functions of the vocal organs. The alimentary
tract, and the function of alimentation. The lym-
phatic system. The heart and the circulatory system
in general, including the physical composition and func-
tions of the blood. Respiration and the respiratory
organs. Glands, especially those concerned in alimen-
tation; their structure, and the general function of
secretion. Structure and functions of the skin and of
the kidneys. Structure and function of nerve; the
chief features of the central nervous system; distinction
between afferent and efferent nerves; reflex action.
The organs of sense, especially the ear and the eye.
