LIST OF CERTIFICATED TEACHERS.

57. In the month of June in each year a list of teachers holding certificates and licenses shall be issued by the Minister of Education, and such list shall set forth in every case of promotion to a higher class or division the reason of such promotion; and after the publication of such list every teacher that has been so promoted shall be entitled, upon making due application to the Inspector-General of Schools, to have a record of his promotion endorsed upon his certificate. The name of any teacher that is not known to have been actively engaged in the work of education at any time during the previous five years shall be omitted from the list, unless he shall have made application since the publication of the previous list to have his name retained on the list or restored to it.

CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION OF CERTIFICATES.

58. The Minister of Education shall have power to cancel any certificate or license to teach if the holder of the certificate or license shall at any time be proved guilty of immoral conduct or gross misbehaviour within the meaning of the Education Act, 1908. He shall also have power for sufficient cause shown to suspend any certificate or license to teach for such period as he thinks fit.

PROGRAMME OF SUBJECTS—CLASS D.

59. The scope of the examination in the several subjects of Class D is here set forth.

N.B.—In any subject presented for a teacher’s certificate questions may be set in examination bearing upon the method of teaching the subject.

Group I.

(1.) Reading and Elocution.—The candidate may be required to read, without time for preparation, a passage from some well-known prose work, or from the leading article of a newspaper, and also a passage of verse. He will also be required to present for a test in recitation not less than two hundred lines of poetry and one hundred lines of prose selected by him from standard English authors. The prose selected for recitation should be taken in general from the works of some noted historian or essayist, or from the speeches of a celebrated orator, and should not be in the form of dialogue. Special note will be taken of enunciation and articulation, correct pronunciation, fluency, phrasing, inflection, tone, expression, and intelligence. The character of the selections made by the candidate for recitation in poetry and prose will also be taken into account.

(2.) English Language and Composition.—The principles and practice of composition, including exercises in such divisions of composition as the explanation or reproduction in précis or outline of prose or verse passages from the best-known plays of Shakespeare, and from modern standard authors; conversion of direct into reported speech and vice versa; punctuation, sentence-structure; arrangement of the paragraph; uses and misuses of words, and the detection and correction of errors and ambiguities of expression; essays on topics of common interest.

Grammar (not including historical grammar) so far as it may be taken as bearing directly on or as subsidiary to the teaching of composition in public elementary schools; the nature and classification of modern English sounds in relation to their bearing on the spoken language and on orthography.

(3.) Elementary Mathematics I.—Arithmetic: Fundamental rules, vulgar and decimal fractions, approximations, proportion, percentages (including interest, profit, and loss), stocks, square root, cube root of numbers reducible to prime factors not greater than eleven, metric system, areas of plane rectilinear figures and of circles, mensuration of the prism, pyramid, sphere, circular cylinder, and circular cone.
