yearly average attendance for the year immediately preceding, or the mean of the average attendance for the four quarters immediately preceding, whichever is the highest:

Provided that if at the end of any quarter it appears that a higher amount would have been payable for or on account of the salary of the teacher if the amount had been determined on the average attendance for that quarter, then the amount payable for that quarter shall be deemed to be the amount determined on the average attendance for such quarter, and the teacher shall be paid the amount so determined less any amount already paid at a lower rate.

The provisions of this clause shall apply, as far as may be applicable, in the case of a new school of Grade 0, and with respect to any such school the provisions of clause 23 hereof shall be modified accordingly.

8. The head teacher of a district high school shall, in consideration of the additional payment made to him in accordance with clause 3 hereof, be required to take some definite part in the instruction of the secondary department, but he shall devote the greater part of his time and attention to the supervision and instruction of the classes in the primary department.

9. The salary and house allowance of a teacher of a group of part-time schools shall be those for the grade of the group determined in accordance with clause 30 hereof:

Provided that if the teacher of a group of part-time schools is required by the Education Board to teach or travel on six days during the week and to teach for at least twenty-four hours in each week he shall receive the salary and house allowance for the grade of school next higher than the grade in which that group of schools is placed.

10. The salary of an assistant teacher appointed under the provisions of clauses 38, 40, or 41 hereof shall be that of Grade 1, together with such additions to salary (if any) as are otherwise authorized by these regulations.

11. Every teacher who is permanently appointed to any position in a public school shall, on his appointment, receive the minimum salary of the grade of salary attached to his position in accordance with clause 1 hereof, together with such additions to his salary (if any) as are otherwise authorized by these regulations.

12. (1.) Notwithstanding the provisions of the last preceding clause, if a teacher is transferred from one permanent position to another permanent position (whether those two positions are in the same school or in different schools, or under the same Board or under different Boards, or under the Department) his salary on transfer to his new position shall be determined in the manner following:—

(a.) If the amount of the final salary which he received in his former position is less than the minimum salary of the grade of salary attached to his new position, he shall receive as his initial salary in his new position the amount of such minimum salary, and thereafter shall receive an annual increment in the manner provided in clause 13 hereof.

(b.) If the amount of the final salary which he received in his former position is greater than the maximum salary of the grade of salary attached to his new position, he shall receive as his salary in his new position the amount of such maximum salary.

(c.) In any other case he shall receive as his initial salary in his new position the amount of the final salary which he received in his former position, and shall receive his first increment of salary on the same date as if he had continued in the position from which he was so transferred.

(2.) A transfer for the purposes of this clause shall be deemed to include the case in which there has been an interval of time between the tenure of the two positions not exceeding twelve months, provided the teacher during the said interval has not notified, in connection with the Teachers’ Superannuation Fund, that he has retired from the Education service.

(3.) For the purposes of this clause, “salary” means the salary payable under clause 1 hereof.

(4.) The provisions of this clause may, with the approval of the Minister, be extended, mutatis mutandis, to any person who holds a position in the Education service (as defined by the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908), other than in a public school, who is appointed to a position in a public school.

13. Every teacher employed in any position in a public school shall, so long as he remains in that position, receive the annual increment mentioned in column 4 of Parts I and II of Schedule IV of clause 1 hereof, and every such increment shall be by way of addition to the rate of salary
