The school year terminates on the 31st July School year. unless the Board have sanctioned, on special application, its termination on the 31st December. Should a school desire to be formed into a School of Science before the 1st August (or, in the case of a School in which it is proposed that the School Year should end on the 31st December, before the 1st January), the Board may exceptionally allow the attendances made previous to that date to count towards the attendance grant. LXXI. The annual inspection of the Schools of inspection. Science will be conducted by one or more Inspectors of the Board within three months of the termination of the school year. Three weeks' notice of the date of inspection will be given. The mode of inspection Science LXXI.-(cont.) will be decided by the Inspector and may be either partly or entirely viva voce, or by papers. His inspection will include that contemplated under § XXXVI. Surprise visits of Inspectors during the School year may take the place of the Annual Inspection at the discretion of the Board. LXXII. A student of a School of Science who attends a three years' course will be eligible for a certificate provided that he has obtained a success in the Advanced Stage, or in Honours, of three of the obligatory subjects of his Advanced Course. This certificate will be issued on application being made by the Managers on Form 637. Certificates of attendance under the provisions of XLVI. are not issued to Schools of Science. SECONDARY DAY SCHOOLS. LXXIII. A Day School (not being a Public Elementary School) conducted in the manner prescribed by § VI. may Day Schools. submit a scheme of instruction* for a 3 or 4 years' course in Science for forms in which the average age of the students is above 12, and which are reported by the Inspector as able to benefit by such instruction, provided that the number of qualified students is not less than 20. The time-table of the whole curriculum of the School must be submitted to the Board of Education, showing that it makes provision for not less than 9 hours per week of Science instruction, including not more than 5 hours Mathematics, as in Subject V., Stages 1, 2, 3. Instruction in Science must be both theoretical and practical, the latter being conducted in such laboratories as are reported by the Inspector to be suitably equipped for the subjects sanctioned. The requirements as to registration and age of students, length of lessons, qualifications of teachers and size of classes are those laid down in §§ LV. to LIX. The com mencement of any School term may be recognised as the commencement of the School year upon the Managers making application to the Board at least one month previous to the date proposed. Every student must attend all the yearly courses in the prescribed sequence, except that a student whose prerious instruction is equivalent to that given in the course laid down for one or more years may, with the approval of the Inspector, be placed in the year's course above that to which he is held to have attained. * This Scheme is alternative to that of the Schools of Science. LXXIV. Grants will be paid to these Schools for each Grants. student who has received continuous instruction throughout the year and who has made not less inan 240 School attendances in such year, at the following rates: For the first 100 students: For the 1st and 2nd year's attendance a sum of 50s. For the 3rd and 4th year's attendance a sum of 70s. For students in excess of 100: For the 1st and 2nd year's attendance a sum of 40s. For the 3rd and 4th year's attendance a sum of 60s. In calculating the payments to Schools claiming for students in excess of 100 the numbers in the first 100 on whom the 70s. and 50s. grants respectively will be paid, will be determined by the proportion that the total number of 1st and 2nd year's students bears to the total number of 3rd and 4th year's students. Thus in a School of 160 students on whom a grant is claimable and of whom 40 are in the 3rd and 4th years, the first 100 payments will be made on 75 1st and 2nd year's students, and 25 3rd and 4th year's students. From the beginning of the School session 1904-5 20 per cent. of the students on whom grants are claimable must as a rule be 3rd or 4th year's students, and grants for 1st and 2nd year's students combined will not be claimable on more than 4 times the number of 3rd and 4th year's students combined. All Schools applying for and receiving recognition under this section will be held to have applied for Inspection under the Board of Education Act, 1899 (see p. 1), and will accordingly be inspected at such periods as the Board shall determine, and the grants may be diminished or withheld should the Inspector's report of the general efficiency, and especially that of the Science teaching, be unfavourable. The inspection of the Science course will not be confined to the periodical inspection above mentioned, and the School must at all times during the hours of instruction be open to the Officers of the Board. Students of a School which takes the authorised course will not be eligible to earn other grants for any Science subject under the Board.
