Such notice shall be in a form prescribed by the Minister of Education, and must be sent so as to be delivered at the office of the Education Department in Wellington not later than the 15th day of September next before the examination; provided that a candidate’s notice shall be received between the 15th day of September and the 22nd day of September if it is accompanied by a bank receipt for a late fee of £1 sterling, in addition to the receipt referred to below for the ordinary entrance fee. With the aforesaid notice each candidate must send—

3. As soon as possible after a Junior Examination has been held the Minister of Education shall publish in the New Zealand Gazette a list of the names of the candidates that have passed the examination, arranged in the order of their merit, which order shall be wholly determined by the marks assigned to the several candidates by the several examiners. The list herein referred to shall not include the name of any person who has passed the examination but who has not complied with the provisions of clause 2 hereof.
