Examination in Drawing only.

Education Department,
Wellington, 18th June, 1913.

IT is hereby notified that candidates for teachers’ certificates, pupil-teachers, probationers, students of technical schools, or other persons may, upon making application in due form, be examined in drawing only either at the Intermediate Examination of November, 1913, or at the Teachers’ Certificate Examination of January, 1914, and may take at such examination one or more of the branches of Drawing as prescribed for general candidates in each case; that is, at the Intermediate Examination either Drawing I or Drawing II, or both these branches, and at the Teachers’ Certificate Examination Drawing I, or Drawing II, or Drawing III, or any group thereof.

For an entry in Drawing only at the November (Intermediate) examination a fee of 2s. 6d. for each branch taken, or of 5s. for both branches together, is payable, except in the case of pupil-teachers and probationers for the time being in the service of an Education Board, or of senior free-place candidates who require this subject only to complete a senior free-place qualification. By such persons no entrance fee is payable.

For the January (Teachers’ Certificate) examination the entrance fee (pupil-teachers and probationers as before excepted) will be 5s. for one or two branches of Drawing, and 7s. 6d. for the three branches taken together.

Passing in any branch of Drawing at the certificate examination of January under the circumstances herein stated will exempt a candidate from further examination in the same branch under the requirements for a teacher’s certificate. A similar exemption will also be granted to successful candidates at the November examination who pass the examination in Drawing I or Drawing II with credit, obtaining not less than 60 per cent. of the maximum marks assignable in each case.

Applications on the forms provided, accompanied by a bank receipt for the necessary fee, are required to be made to the Inspector-General of Schools, Wellington, not later than the 15th September for the November examination, and not later than the 15th October for the January examination.

Forms of application to be examined will be obtainable at the offices of Education Boards or from the Education Department after the 1st July.
