(A) Pupil teachers who have attained their 18th year
in the case of males, and their 17th year in the
case of females.
(B) Untrained assistant teachers and teachers who
may have been in charge of Schools, who have
been recommended by the Inspector for a course
of training.
(C) Other persons not under the ages specified in
Class A, nor over 35 years of age, who have fur-
nished the Board with satisfactory certificates of
good moral character, of sound health and who
are free from any bodily infirmity likely to impair
their usefulness as teachers. The Board does not
bind itself to admit all candidates of this class
who may pass the entrance examination, but
only such numbers as may from time to time be
specified.

III. Students of classes A and C, who succeed in
passing the prescribed examinations, and whose conduct
continues to give satisfaction, may remain in training for
two years. Students of class B shall remain in training
for the term prescribed, when recommended for training
by the Inspectors.

IV. Provision shall be made in the Normal School for
the instruction of students in training; but to all
students who shall pass the matriculation examination of
the Otago University, permission shall be given to attend
certain classes in that Institution, under such Regula-
tions as may hereafter be made.

V. Students of classes A and C shall be examined at
the end of their first and second year, for provisional
certificates of III. and II. class respectively, in accord-
ance with Regulations (Sept. 15th, 1874). If unsuccessful
in passing either of these examinations, they may, on the
recommendation of the examiners, remain in training for
another year; but by a second failure they shall forfeit
all claim to further aid from the Board. Students of
class B shall be examined as specified, when recommended
for training by the Inspectors.

VI. Students in training of classes A and B shall be
paid monthly, or quarterly, at the rate of £ per
annum in the case of males, and at the rate of £ per
annum in the case of females. In no case shall any of
the above payments be made but on the production of
certificates of attendance and good conduct, signed by
the Rector of the Normal School. Maintenance allow-
ance may be given to students of class C; but such
allowance will be for the present a matter of special
arrangement in each case.

VII. Every student who may be granted a maintenance
allowance from the Board, shall, prior to admission to
training, sign a declaration or bond containing the fol-
lowing provisions:—That he intends bona fide to adopt
and follow the profession of teaching; that he shall
attend regularly throughout the course of training until
he shall have attained the lowest grade certificate, or
shall, on the successful completion of his course of study
and training, teach in Schools under the Board for a
period of not less than two years; and that in the event
of his failing to comply with any of the foregoing con-
ditions he shall refund to the Board all moneys expended
on his behalf during his training. The Board may at
any time require security for the refunding of such
moneys.
