ten shillings for the subject as a whole taken at any one examination.

Passing in any branch of drawing under the circumstances here stated will exempt the candidate from further examination in the same branch for a teacher’s certificate.

38. Under conditions similar to those stated in the preceding clause, and with a similar exception in favour of pupil-teachers in the service of an Education Board, candidates may also, upon giving due notice and upon payment in the usual way of an entrance fee of five shillings for each branch taken, be examined separately in one or both of the following branches of Elementary Handwork as required for the Class D or Class C examination, namely :—

(a.) Modelling in Plasticine or Clay, Paper-work, and Brick-laying;

(b.) Cardboard-work.

Application for examination in Elementary Handwork should, if possible, be made to the Inspector-General of Schools, Wellington, not later than the 1st day of March, and candidates must be prepared to present themselves for examination in the branch or branches proposed at such time and place as may thereafter be notified.

39. Candidates who satisfy the requirements in not less than five of the six branches of drawing as set out in paragraph (5) of clause 23 of these regulations, whether the evidence of attainment be given in an examination for a teacher’s certificate, or in a separate examination, or partly in the one examination and partly in the other, shall be entitled to receive a special certificate in drawing; and, similarly, candidates who satisfy the requirements in both branches of Elementary Handwork as specified in the preceding clause shall be entitled to receive a special certificate in Elementary Handwork, whether their attainments in these branches be reckoned among the grounds on which a teacher’s certificate is granted to them or otherwise.

In lieu of such special certificates, successful candidates who already hold teachers’ certificates may, if they so choose, have a record of success in these branches or subjects endorsed thereon.

SPECIAL MENTION.

40. With the report of every examination for certificates, lists will be published containing the names of candidates who pass in any subject with sufficient distinction to warrant special mention.

LICENSE TO TEACH.

41. A candidate that falls not far short of the examination requirements for a teacher’s certificate, may, on the recommendation of an Inspector of Schools and subject to the conditions of clause 11 above as to evidence of character and health, receive a license to teach, provided that he has attained the age of twenty-one years, and has had not less than two years’ experience in teaching as defined in clause 5. Such license shall be in force for a period of two years, to be regarded as expiring on the last day of June or the last day of December, as the case may be, next following the date on which the two years are completed, and shall during its currency have the force of a temporary certificate.

42. A candidate for a teacher’s certificate who has not yet attained the age of twenty-one years, but who satisfies in all other respects the requirements of these regulations, may, if he has already attained the age of eighteen years, receive a license to teach, which license shall be renewable until he has attained the age of twenty-one years, and shall then, upon the production of such further evidence of continued good health and character as may be required, be convertible into a full certificate.

43. In the discretion of the Minister of Education, licenses to teach may, on further consideration of the circumstances in each case, be renewed at the close of the period for which they were originally granted; but a renewal will not, as a rule, be conceded unless a recommendation for a renewal has been made by an Inspector of Schools who has good means of forming an opinion of the value of the holder as a practical teacher. Candidates for the renewal of licenses to teach may be required to show that material progress has in the meantime (in the period succeeding the first issue of the license) been made by the holder towards the acquirement of a full-certificate qualification.
