    case of graduates or previously certificated students, during a period
    of not less than one year’s attendance, and who are favourably re-
    ported upon in respect both of professional promise and of educa-
    tional progress, may, on the recommendation of the principal of the
    college and with the concurrence of the Inspector-General of Schools,
    receive without further examination, subject to compliance with the
    necessary conditions of age and health, as prescribed by the Regula-

    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 con-
    venient and the Board may approve, to choose text-books, and to
    determine the course of study and training of each student.

(2.) A statement shall be furnished to the Professorial Board giving
the names of all training-college students in attendance at the uni-
versity college, and the classes approved by the principal for each
student, in order that the Professorial Board may be in a position
to report to the principal on the progress made by the students.

29. The Board may at any time, on the receipt of a report from the
    principal, dismiss a student or direct him to cease attendance at the
    training college, on the ground of repeated neglect of duty, or gross
    misbehaviour, and all allowances to such student shall thereupon
    cease.

30. The principal shall make an annual report to the Board of the
    work of the training college, and the Board shall forward that report,
    with such other report as it may desire to make, to the Minister of

    college from time to time, and shall report annually to the Minister.
