“ (6) The scope of the examination in the several subjects of the Training College Entrance Examination shall be:—

“ (i) Audibility, fluency, phrasing, and expression;
“ (ii) Pronunciation and articulation;
“ (iii) Capability of showing pupils a good example of correct speech.
“ NOTE.—Candidates are requested to note the following directions issued to Examiners: The Examiner is requested to mark each candidate’s reading under the three heads indicated above. Under the first head marks up to a maximum of thirty are to be assigned for fluency, for ability to phrase—that is, to group the words in a suitable manner—for appreciation of the value of emphasis, and for suitability of expression by intonation and by inflexion of the voice. Under the second heading marks up to a maximum of thirty are to be given for pronunciation and articulation. Under the third heading marks up to a maximum of 40 are to be assigned. The placing of the accent, the articulation of the component syllables, and particularly the consonants, should receive the Examiner’s careful attention.
“ (b) Writing.—Exercises in text hand, half text, and small hand, or of varied form, in such style as the candidate would adopt in setting copies for children. In the text-hand exercise the height of the smaller letters is to be the same as the space between two lines on an ordinary sheet of ruled foolscap—say, one-third of an inch. The tests given shall also include a speed test in current hand.
