[No. 82

Education, in collaboration with such other Inspectors, shall submit to the Director at the close of each year a report on the condition and suitability of the premises and fittings, the sufficiency and condition of the apparatus, &c., used in the instruction, the character and quality of the instruction, the sufficiency of the teaching staff, and the manner in which the rules and regulations for the general management and conduct of the classes have been carried out.

91. In general no notice of any visit of inspection shall be given unless the inspecting officer deems it advisable to hold a formal examination in order to gain more precise information as to the efficiency of the teaching, in which case not less than ten days' notice of the intended examination shall be given.

92. At any visit the inspecting officer may—

(a.) Make such notes on the quality of teaching and on the discipline, tone, spirit of initiative, and organization of the school as will enable him to proceed with confidence to the annual classification of the teachers:

(b.) Make such investigations of the work of the pupils as will enable him to advise the Principal of the school in making recommendations to the Director in respect of free places, leaving-certificates, &c., concerning pupils at the school:

(c.) Verify the allocation of the receipts and expenditure in respect of manual, technical, and continuation classes, for which purpose he may require in respect of all classes recognized under the Act the production of all necessary accounts, books, registers, and documents:

(d.) Make such notes as are necessary for the production of the annual report to the Director:

Provided that none of the duties enumerated in this clause shall interfere with the chief duty of the inspecting officer—namely, to endeavour to give such criticism, demonstrations, and advice as will best promote the efficiency of the schools and classes.

VI. RETURNED SOLDIERS.

93. A controlling authority or a technical school board may agree, subject to the approval of the Director, to admit, without payment of fees, discharged soldiers certified by a registered medical practitioner or public hospital authority to be—(a) unfitted to re-enter on their former occupations; and (b) likely to benefit by attendance at courses of instruction as offered and approved.
