EARNING GRANTS.

XXXVI. The Inspector will ascertain that the premises, fittings, and apparatus, etc., are efficient. He will also inspect as to the progress of the students, and he may question them in the subjects in which they have been under instruction.

A meeting of the Managers, for which sufficient notice will be given, must, if required, be held when the Inspector visits the school.

The Inspector may require the production of such Accounts and Documents as will enable him to verify the allocation of the receipts and expenditure in respect of subjects aided by the Board.

PAYMENTS.

XXXVII. The payments for instruction in the Elemen- Payments. tary and Advanced Stages of Science, and in groups of Art subjects, are made on the attendances of the pupils, and in Honours and in certain higher subjects of Art. on the results of the examinations. For the payments

to Schools of Science, see § LXVII., p. 54 et seqq., and to Training Colleges, see § LXXVI., p. 60.

The payments are made on the certificate of the Certificates Managers :

(a.) that the recognised teacher has given the Students at least 28 registered lessons in a subject of Science or an Art group in respect of which grants may be made, or 50 lessons in a recognised Group of Science and Art subjects of the prescribed duration on separate days during the session, i.e.. between 1st August and following 31st July.

(b) that the conditions of §§ XIV.-XVIII., where applicable, have been fulfilled.

(c.) that each attendance for which the grant is claimed has been duly registered; and that each student has given during the session not less than 14 such attendances in the subject of Science or group of Art subjects for which the grant is payable; or, where Science lessons of less than one hour's duration have been sanctioned, not less than 20 such attendances; or, where a special group of Science and Art subjects has been recognized not less than 28 attendances in at least Two subjects of the group. SCIENCE.

(d) that each student in Honours for whom a payment on results is claimed has received within the two years ended with the Session and since the last examination in the subject at which he was successful at least 20 lessons as defined in (a) in the subject in respect of which the claim is made.

ART.

(d)that each Student for whom a payment on results is claimed has received at least 20 lessons as defined in (a) in respect of one or more of the subjects mentioned in § XLIII. Art. (a) and (b).

In dealing with Subjects XI. and XIp. (Organic Chemistry) the Stages are not differentiated.

The minimum rate awarded for Advanced instruction will not, as a rule, be below 4d. per attendance, or in the case of practical work 6d. per attendance. A lower rate will be
