Education Examination Regulations




May 20.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1823

The following shall be the scope of the examination in Greek:—
(13.) Greek.—Candidates will be expected to show such a knowledge of the language and of its vocabulary and grammar as may be gained by the study of Xenophon’s Anabasis, Book II, but candidates will not be expected to have read that particular book, nor will the passages for translation necessarily be taken from it. The candidate should be able, with the aid of a vocabulary of unusual words not found in the standard book named, to render into English easy passages of unprepared translation, and to answer questions in grammar thereon; also to answer in Greek easy questions expressed in Greek arising out of the same passages, and to render into Greek easy sentences or passages selected expressly in imitation of the language and subject-matter of one of the passages, or to write in Greek a free composition of a simple character on a familiar subject.

The following shall be the scope of the examination for the subject of Elementary Shorthand:—
(20.) Elementary Shorthand.—Transcribing into shorthand, fully vocalized, a short printed passage as a test of accuracy and neatness of shorthand outlines. Writing in shorthand an easy passage dictated at the rate of sixty words a minute and transcribing it accurately into longhand.

Examination in Drawing Only.

  1. Anything in these regulations notwithstanding, candidates for teachers’ certificates, pupil teachers or probationers, students of technical schools, or other persons may, upon making application in due form in the manner specified in clause 3 hereof, be examined in Drawing Only in this examination, and may take at such examination one or other or both of the following branches of Drawing:—

Drawing I—free drawing with pencil or brush.
Drawing II—drawing with instruments.

As set out in the program of the Public Service Entrance Examinations.

For such examination in Drawing Only, an entrance fee of 2s. 6d. for each branch of drawing taken shall be payable by candidates, excepting only pupil teachers and probationers in the service of Education Boards (for whom the examination is free).

Candidates who pass with credit the Intermediate Examination in Drawing under such conditions will be regarded as exempt from further examination in the corresponding branch for a teacher’s certificate.

Publication of Results.

  1. As soon as may be after the examination, the names of candidates who pass the Intermediate Examination shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette. Candidates shall at the same time be duly notified in general terms of the result of the examination, and later shall be entitled to receive a statement, in pamphlet or other general form, of the marks obtained in the several subjects set out in each case against the examination number of the candidate.

For any other statement of marks obtained or certificate of results furnished to the candidate a fee of 2s 6d. shall be payable to the Public Account in the manner specified in clause 3 hereof for the payment of late fees.
