[No. 82

  1. If, in any year, there are more candidates than scholarships to be awarded, preference will be given in the first instance to those who have qualified for Education Board District Scholarships. If further limitation be necessary, the Minister will take steps at his own discretion to determine which of the candidates shall receive the scholarships.

SYLLABUS OF WORK FOR JUNIOR SCHOLARS.

  1. Junior scholars shall receive instruction in the following subjects:—

Boys.
(1.) English.
(2.) Arithmetic.
(3.) Military drill.
(4.) Elementary practical agriculture.
(5.) Woodwork.
(6.) Singing.

Girls.
(1.) English.
(2.) Arithmetic.
(3.) Physical drill.
(4 and 5.) Domestic science (cooking, laundry-work, housewifery, dressmaking, health).
(6.) Singing.

And in one at least of the following:—

Boys.
(1.) Maori.
(2.) Drawing (one or more branches).
(3.) Elementary mathematics.
(4.) Elementary physical measurements.
(5.) Geography.
(6.) English history.
(7.) Physiology.

Girls.

(2.) Geography.
(3.) Drawing (one or more branches).

  1. Pupils shall also receive some instruction in health, morals, and civics.

  2. Holders of scholarships who are qualified under (c) shall receive at the secondary school instruction in the above subjects, the standard required being that for Standard V of the Public School syllabus.

  3. Those qualified under (a) and (b) shall receive instruction according to a two years’ programme in the subjects above named, the standard of the work in the first year being in advance of that required for Standard V or Standard VI, as the case may be, of the Public School syllabus.

The programme should be arranged in order that the best qualified of the scholarship holders may reach the standard indicated by the Civil Service Junior Examination.

  1. In woodwork, the handbook on the subject issued by the Department will serve as a guide, but any suitable course will be accepted if it is directed to the practical end of giving the pupils such knowledge of principles and such practical instruction as will be of use to them as Maoris.

  2. In elementary practical agriculture, the programme shall be based upon the requirements for the Civil Service Junior Examination, and may be arranged so as to cover a two, or, in some cases, a three years’ course.

  3. In connection with both woodwork and elementary practical agriculture, the pupils will be required to make drawings (free-hand and to scale) illustrating various stages of the work, and similarly in the case of girls taking domestic science; the work thus done shall be held to be sufficient to meet the requirements in drawing.

  4. The rough working drawings made in connection with the woodwork and the pupils’ note-books containing entries of their own observations made during the year in agriculture, woodwork, or domestic science, as the case may be, should be shown to the Inspector, who shall give them due weight in forming his estimate of the value of the individual and general work of the pupils.

  5. The term of each scholarship shall be two years, if the holder faithfully fulfils the prescribed conditions.
