sufficient to defray the actual cost of travelling.
9. Probationers’ and junior teachers’ salaries and allowances shall be
payable in monthly instalments as from the date of entry upon the duties
of their position.
10. (1.) The appointment of every probationer and junior teacher
shall for the first year be regarded as probationary. If during this
period the head teacher and an Inspector report favourably on the work
of a junior teacher or probationer the appointment shall be confirmed,
and the year of probation shall be reckoned as one year of service.
(2.) If the probationer or junior teacher after due trial shows little
promise of suitability for the teaching profession, or if he fails to obtain
a satisfactory report as to his diligence and behaviour from the head
teacher of the school in which he is employed, or fails to pass any ex-
amination prescribed, or otherwise on the unfavourable report of an
Inspector, the Board may terminate his engagement on one month’s
notice. For gross negligence, incompetence, disobedience, or immoral
conduct a probationer or junior teacher shall be liable to summary dis-
missal without claim on the Board.
(3.) No probationer or junior teacher shall be at liberty to relinquish
his engagement without giving to the Secretary of the Board at least
one month’s notice in writing of his intention to do so.
(4.) Junior teachers during their period of service or subsequently
shall not be eligible for appointment as probationers, and vice versa.
11. (1.) The head teacher shall be responsible for the training in
teaching and class management and for the direction of the studies of
the probationers and junior teachers attached to his school. In every
case the course of study shall be so directed, in continuation of previous
studies, as to form, as far as circumstances admit, a preparation for
entrance to the training college on the completion of the probationer’s
or junior teacher’s service. Among special subjects of instruction for
which provision is to be made, physical instruction, school method, vocal
music, nature-study, drawing, needlework or other branch of handwork
or domestic science shall be included.
(2.) All probationers and junior teachers must attend approved
special classes in drawing, singing, science, and physical instruction or
other classes as required by the Board.
(3.) As part of the training given the head teacher shall make pro-
vision for frequent observation by the probationers and junior teachers
of lessons given by the certificated teachers on the school staff, and for
lessons to be given by the probationers and junior teachers in his own
presence or in that of an approved assistant.
12. (1.) Probationers and junior teachers shall receive instruction in
their subjects of study for not less than five hours a week on not less
than four days in the week before or after school hours.
(2.) Such instruction shall be given by the head teacher, provided
that with the sanction of the Board previously obtained this instruction
may in part be delegated to other certificated members of the school
staff; provided further that the Board may reckon attendance with satis-
factory progress as approved classes outside the school as part of the time
prescribed for instruction.
(3.) A time-table showing the hours and subjects of instruction must
be drawn up by the head teacher and submitted by him for approval of
the Inspector on his first visit in the year.
13. (1.) A probationer or junior teacher who has passed the Inter-
mediate Examination will be required to present himself for the next
Matriculation Examination or for some part of the Teachers’ Class D
Examination.
