    (2.) For the purpose of these regulations the expression “married assistant teacher” shall be held to include a widow or a widower having one or more children under the age of sixteen years:
    Provided that no married allowance shall be payable to a married woman teacher if such allowance is payable to her husband:
    Provided further that no married woman other than a widow shall be entitled to the allowance herein provided unless payment of the additional salary is approved by the Minister on account of special circumstances.

25. There shall be paid in each year to the Board of Governors of each secondary school a sum sufficient to pay the salaries and allowances of teachers under these regulations:
    Provided that from the total sum thus receivable by the Board there shall be deducted an amount equal to the total sum receivable by the Board in tuition fees in each year by all pupils other than those in the preparatory department, together with a sum equal to the net annual income derived from endowments by the Board.

26. (1.) For the payment of part-time teachers holding positions approved by the Director there shall be paid to the Board of Governors of each school an annual grant at a rate not exceeding £1 per pupil on the roll as defined in clause 10 hereof.

30. Any teacher desiring to obtain leave of absence on account of illness or accident for a period in excess of three school days shall make application therefor to the Board, and shall forward with such application a certificate from a duly qualified medical practitioner stating the nature of the illness or accident and the probable period of absence. The Board shall grant such leave as in its opinion is warranted by the circumstances, and it may at any time after a period of leave has been granted require the teacher to forward such further medical certificate or certificates as it may deem necessary:
    Provided that in respect to any application for leave on account of illness or accident not exceeding two weeks the Board may dispense with the production of a medical certificate if such certificate cannot be obtained without undue hardship or unreasonable expense, but it shall require such other evidence to be produced in lieu thereof as it may deem necessary in the circumstances.
