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.
