IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in him by the Education Act, 1914, and the amendments to that Act, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the regulations set out hereafter for the establishment and management of supplementary model country schools; and, with the like advice and consent, doth prescribe that this Order shall come into force on the date of the first publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

REGULATIONS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF SUPPLEMENTARY MODEL COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
