To His Excellency Sm HENRY BARKLY, K. C.B., Captain- General and Governor-in- Okief of tke Colony of Victoria and its lJependencies.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,-

1. We, the Commissioners of National Education, beg leave to submit to your Excellency this our Sixth Report, comprising a statement of our proceedings during the year 1858.

NUMBER OF SCHOOLS IN OPERATION.

2. The following table exhibits the increase in the number of National Schools, and in the attendance of children, from the establish­ment of the Board to the present time :-

3. The increase in the number of our schools amounts therefore to 47, and of scholars to 2242, the former increase being at the rate of 51 and the latter 37 per cent.

4. But we had, during the year, 25 evening schools open, with 325 pupils on the rolls and 220 in average attendance, thus increasing the number of schools to 165, the total number on the rolls to 8659, and in average attendance to 650 1. We have had under consideration the propriety of granting aid to schools of this class, but have hitherto been deterred by want of funds.

5. The preceding figures give the numbers at the end of 1858; but the average for the year gives 8067 .children on the rolls and 6044 in average attendance (exclusive of evening scholars).

4

6. During the year 18.57 we had 101 schools in operation, and during 1858, 140, being a net increase of 39 schools. 47 new schools were opened eluring the year (not including 3 to which teachers had been sent up in 1858, but which were not brought into operation before 1859), but 8 were closed. For lists of the schools opened and closed, and the reasons for the latter, we beg to refer to Appendix No.4.

, 7. From the follm:ring list, it will be perceived, that 74 of the schools a,re vested and 66 non-vested; and that they are held in 120 separate build­ings; but of the 66 non-vested schools, 33 are schools which have been taken into connection as precursors of vested schools, and in which the inhabitants are either building or are about to build school-houses, so that strictly speaking there are but 33 non-vested schools, not one fourth of the whole.

, 8. The subjoined table exhibits the total number of te~chers of all descriptions in our service, amounting to 134 teachers, 46 assistant teachers, 47 workmistresses, and 73 pupil teachers and paid monitors.

9. The same table also shows the proportion per cent. of the teachers of various denominations' employed, and of the children attending, as compared with the relative number of each persuasion according to the census.

10. The discrepancies are, it will' be perceived, very trifling, showing that all denominations are fairly represented both in our teachel's and in the children attending our schools.' >'

12. Of the number of children on the rolls, 4299 were boys, 3380 girls, and 388 infants, showing a per-eentage of 53 boys, 42 girls, and 5 infants. .

13. The average age of each child on the rolls, is eight years and eight months, against eight years·and ten months for 1857.

, ,14. The per-centage of average attendance to the number on rolls is

75 against 74 for 1857, while the per-centage of the actual to the possible attendance, (obtained by striking off the name of a child immediately he has left instead of keeping him on the rolls for four consecutive weeks), is 81.

15. Taking the average of the schools which have been in operation during the whole year, we find that each has been open, 244 days, or, com­puting five school days to the week, 48+ weeks, while each child has attended 180 days or 36 weeks. This result, showing that our schools are not closed more than 3t weeks out of the year, and that children: attend for nearly two-thirds ~f the year, must be deemed satisfactory. '

16. The amount paid in salaries and allowances to teachers, exclusive of the model schools, was £19,033 12s. 7d., and in school fees by parents of children, £9,446 8s. 5d. The av~rage cost of the education of each scholar on the rolls was £3 l7s. 7d., of which the Board paid £2 11s. 10td., and the parents, in school fees, £1 5s. 8td. The cost in 1857, was, to the Board £2 6s. 10td., and to the parents, £1 6s.

17. Two hundred and seventy-five children, or 3 per cent. are returned as certified to be destitute, their parents or guardians being unable to pay for their education; but of this number, 52 are returned from the school at the Immigrants' Home, Melbourne, where the children are all destitute.

18. In the month of April of the present year, there only remained £832 l1s. 8td. due and unpaid for school fees on account·of 1858, being at the rate of 7t per cent. Our report for 1857 showed that the amount out­standing for that year was 27 per cent., but that result was arrived at from the monthly returns sent in by the teachers, thus showing that the greater proportion is afterwards paid. .

19. The amount returned as received from the children for books is £646 Is. 7 d., being for each child on the rolls Is. 7 d., and in average attendance 2s. 2d. ffhe amount received for books and requisites sold from our store was £650 6s. 4d.

FINANCE,

20. Our Receipts during the past year amounted to £33,073 lOs. lld., and our disbursements to £32,743 8s. 7 d., leaving an unexpended balance of £330 2s. 4d. '

21. For details of Receipts and Expenditure we beg to refer to Appendix No.5.

22. The vote for. 1858, was' taken in two portions, viz.,' £14,000 for the first, and £16,000 for the second half of th.e year.

23. The grant for the former period was absorbed by requirements of schools in operation.

24. As exception has been taken to the manner in which we ex­pended the grant for the latter portion of the year, on the ground that we used improper activity in opening new schools, with the view of claiming an undue proportion of the vote for 1859-we deem it right to submit, for your Ex~ellency' s information, the following statement which we caused to be prepared on the subject :-:-

Statement forwarded to the Honorable George Harker :-

"On the 21st July, 1859, the Board passed ~ minute, of which a copy is annexed :, (No. 1.) '" "'No. I.

~"Minute of the meeting of the Board, held on the 21st July, 1858. .Present: The Hons. Sir J. F. Palmer, chairman; T. H. Power, M. Hervey, and Mr. Rusden.

" , L-FINfu'<OE. " 'The returns showing the financial position of the Board, for the present half-year,

were again submitted.

" , It appeared that the total receipts would be £17,500, and the necessary disbursements, £15,912 8s. 6d.; leaving a balance of £1587 lIs. 6d.

" 'It further appeared that the applications for aid of different kinds amounted to £11,486 158. 4d.

" 'The Board then distributed £711 15s. ~d., leaving a balance of £875 16s. 2d.

"-' Oic1ered,-That the above balance b!:l appropriated, as far as possible, in granting aid to non-vested schools, and that in those localities where the residents are prepared to build, application be made for reserves of land, and the applicants informed, that if they erect suitable buildings thereon, the Board will grant a salary to a teacher; and that, provided accurate records of the expenditUl~e are kept, the Board '\-vill, when able, assist them to complete the buildings.

" 'BEN.J. F. .Kfu'<E.''' . . "The Board were not aware till the 10th November, of the proposed mode of taking the

vote for 1859.* .

"The Secretary was absent from the 18th S!3ptemoer, till the 6th November; and during that time (nearly seven weeks) no aid of any kind was promised, nor were any schools opened.

"It will be seen from the accompanying statement (No.2) that, from the 21st July till the 10th November, aid was promised to seventeen schools only: but of that period, during the seven weeks mentioned above, no aid was promised, so that in reality aid was promised to seventeen schools in eight weeks, namely :-From 21st July to 18th September.

"During the remaining weeks of the year, namely, fifteen, from 18th September to 31st December, aid was only promised to fifteen schools, while, according to the above proportion, it should have been given to thirty-two.

"In the same way, during the first period (namely, eight weeks, from 21st July to 18th September), eighteen schools were opened; and during the latter (namely, fifteen weeks, from the 18th September to 31st December) twenty-eight; while according to the same proportion, thirty-four should have been opened during the latter.

"BE~.J. F. KA~E."

"' At a full meeting of the Board held on'the 21st July, 1858, the following resolution was unanimously adopted, Mr. Harker at the same time remarking, that he would recommend the same to the Cabinet, namejy:­.. That the conditions under which the educational vote was taken for 1855, are those which should be adopted for 1859, substituting the average attendanec for the number on the rolls."

This recommendation, however, was neither adopted by the Cabinet nor by the Legislature, The Com· missioners were not informed of the actual mode of di vision, proposed by the Cabinet, until the 10th November. (19th August, 1859). .

BEN •• F. KANE.

25. From the above, it will be perceived that, so far from unduly pressing forward the establishment of schools, we promised aid to a much smaller proportion after we were aware of the proposed, mode of taking the vote, than before that information had been given.

26. On the 10th November, we were informed that the Government intended to propose the following mode of taking the vote (£125,000) for 1859.

"Grant for Education.-Proposed mode of distribution.-(Mr. Harker).

That the expenses of the Departments of the Denominational and National School Boards be first provided for, and the salaries to teachers under both systems be paid in accord­ance with the present rates, the balance to be divided between both Boards in proportion to the number of scholars on the books of each for the year 1858. Provided that under this distribu­tion no assistance shall be given to any school having average attendance of less than twenty scholars, and that neither Board shall make any grant for school buildings to a greater amount than that of the local subscriptions."

27. This mode of division was adopted by the Legislative Assembly on the 1st February.

28. On the 6th January, we were requested, by letter from the Chief Secretary's office, to forward returns showing th~ details of expenditure according to the above plan. On the 20th of the same month we complied with that request, showing that we should require the sum of £42,093 12s. "to meet salaries of teachers of schools in operation at the end of 1858, and the expenses of the Board at the rates in force in 1858."

. 29. We understand that a similar request, (with which they neglected to comply), was preferred to the Denominational School Board; but it was stated that a sum of about £95,000 would be required to meet the expenses at the rates in force in 1858.

8 . ,

30. These two amounts, making together £137,000, or £12,000 more than the vote, it became necessary either to reduce the amount accruing to each Board, or to increase the amount of the vote itself. As the latter alter­native could not be adopted,·the-obvious·and proper cOllrse·to pursue.would have been to reduce ,the amount accruing to each Board, pro ratti, which would have given in round numbers-

, To the National Board

" Denominational Board ..• '£38,000 £87,000

£125,000 ,

31. But, instead of doing thi§l, the sum of £92,500, all or even more than they required, was allott~d to the latter, and to .this Board only £32,500, nearly £10,000 less than was necess;:try to carry on the schools in operation in 1858.

, 32. We were .accordingly compelled to adopt the following modes .of 'retrenchment to keep our expenditure within our receipts :- .

p.) ··To '~lose the ·Training Establisnment, which was accordingly done on the 31 st March last.

(2.) To reduce by one-half the house-rent allowance to teachers of non-vested schools, and to strilfeoff altogether th(p*,Uowances for rent of school-houses. . :

(3.) To .make· a general reduction of £5 per cent upon all salaries and allowances paid to teachers. .

(4.) To reduce the allowances' paid to teachers of small schools.

(5.) To abolish assistant teachers, and to appoint pupil teachers, on inferior salaries, in their stead. _

(6.) To dispense with any classification examination, except for . probationers.

, 33. These reductions have not only pressed very heavily upon several · of our teachers, especially upon those employed in non-vested schools, the · incomes of some of whom have been reduced nearly one-third; but have crippled the cause of education by arresting most of those measures which had for, their' object the elcvation of the status of teachers. It is not within our province to advert ·to the political aspect of this question, but we, may' be ,permitted to state our strong conviction, that the first step

,required to bring up the standard of popular education so as to correspond "with the exigencies of the popular franchise, is the education and classifica­. tion of 'teachers, which cannot l)e even attempted without a more libe;ral provision being made for this object, during the ensuing year.

34 .. We were compelled to make the reductions, in consequence of · the sudden change made in the conditions with which we were to be entru~ted with funds for the year; but a considerable part of the year had 'elapsed before that change was made, and we would put it to the Govern­

'ment·to determine whether the persons whose salaries· were thus reduced have 'not a moral claim against the Government for compensation, the

<> -Government having all. along approved of the Rules under which those persons received their salaries and became entitled to a periodie increase of pay after examination.

,35. We have since asce~tained that the sum of £82,500 would have "been 'sufficient to meet the expenses of, the Denominational Board in- terms of the vote, after allowing £1312 lOs. for contingencies. It. thus appears that the vote was sufficient to maintain existing schools, and that while we

9

have been obliged to desist from aiding new schools, seriously to weaken our existing schools; and to reduce the salaries, (already too small), of all our teachers to such an extent as to cause several of them to throw up their schools in disgust; the Denominational Board are able to maintain their schools with efficiency and to spend £10,000 in building new schools, and increasing the emoluments of thyir teachers. vVe abstain from further comment on this case, but we think it right to bring it distinctly under your Excellency's attention.

36. In the Appendix, will also be found an abstract of our receipts and disbursements on account of 1857; the balance £375 5s. 7d. has been carried over to the accounts for this year.

MODEL AND TRAINING SCHOOLS.

37. In order to observe the proceedings of New South Wales, in reference to.education, and to import into our own system any alterations that might arise out of a comparison with that adopted in that colony, we determined, in August, 1858, to despatch our secretary to Sydney to report to us on the subject.

38. Whatever 'alterations the report of that officer might have induced us to adopt, the pressure of financial difficulties, to w'hich we have before adverted, left us no discretion but to make as manv reductions in our expenditure as would l?ring it with~n our income for the year.

39. The discontinuance of our traiiring department haying been forced upon us,. as a reduction made necessary by the straitened condition of our finances, and one of the chief duties of the principal of the schools having been the superintendence of the training department, we resolved after anxious deliberation to accept the resignations of the principal and superintendent of the female department,. Mr .. and lVII's. Davitt, and to place the schools under the superintendence of our chief inspector; and we at the same time reduced the staff to the lowest possible limit.

40. Mr. Odebar, the chief inspector, entered on his duties in this capacity on the 1 st April last. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to allow us to judge of the success of these arrangements, but :financially they have reduced the expense of education in these schools from about £6 11 s. per head to £4 16s. 2d.

41. A public examination of the children took place in December last, and on the 21st of that month prizes and certificates of merit were distributed to the. most deservin~' children, in presence of your Excellency and many other frIends of educatIOn.

During this time, 169 persons passed through the establishment, at a cost to the country of· £32 18s. 6d, each. The accompaJ;lying table shows the cost under each head:-

And of this number, 52 are now in our employment, 13 have been in our' employment and have left, some are employed in Denominational and private schools, and many are ap;plicants for employment under our Board.

46. It may be estimated that about four-fifths of those trained and classified, are following the profession or are desirous to do so, a result we think satisfactory, as showing that the establishment has not been made use of by persons who had no bond fide intention of becoming teachers.

CLASSIFICATION OF TEACHERS.

47. The third general examination of teachers took place in March, 1858, when 89 persons presented themselves for examination. Of these, 65 were classified and 24 rejected, but, of the latter number 13 were candidates for promotion, leaving only 11 who were deemed unfit for classification. ,

48. The following table shows the total number of teachers who have been classified, amounting to 213, of whom 112 or 53 per cent. are now in our employment. '

49. There are 180 literary teachers in our employment; and, as before stated, 112 classified teachers are in our service, but of this number 6 :ire engaged as pupil teachers or workmistresses, leaving 106 classified literary teachers out of 180, or 59 per cent. 'rhis proportion, which is the same as that reported for 1857, would have been greater, had it i:lOt been for the number of new schools opened during 1858, many of which had to be supplied with untrained and unclassified teachers.

LOCAL BOARDS.

50. Our schools are under the control of Boards of local patrons, with whom, subject to our a,pproval, the appointment and removal of teachers rest. We appoint· the patrons of vested schools, and sanction the a]JPointment of patrons of non-vested schools.

51. In Appendix No.5; will be found the names of all the patrons of our schools, and we have mnch pleasure in referring the same to your Excellency's attention, as evincing the perfectly unsectal'ian nature of our systein, and the fairness with which all denominations are represented.

52. "Ve make it a rule before appointing patrons to vested schools to

(1.) That all the leading' denominations of the locality are repre­sented; and

(2.) 'rhat there is no absolute majority of the members of anyone persuasion upon the Board. .

We also endeavor to carry out the same principle in non-vested schools, The following tabl~ will show how successfully we have done so

. . . . 53. 'l'hus, of the 116 local Boards 112 are completely mixed, 2 are

partialli so, and 2 are under the management of single patrons; _ one a clergyman, the other a layman.

13 .

54. These Boards consist 'of from about 3 to 12 members, and the total number of' patrons is CS3. Although we regret to say, that, in some cases, the duties of patrons are much neglected, we are glad to be able to state, that m!tny schools enjoy the active supervision of gentlemen who take great interest in the p~ogress of the schools, and are always. ready to remedy defects when pointed out to them.

INSPECTION ..

55. Our schools have been inspected 'with tolerable frequency during the past year. We regret, however, to find that, owing to much of the chief inspector's time being taken up with his duties as' superintendent' of the Model Schools, the inspection of town and suburban schools is now suffering. 'rhis is a subject which will receive our attention.

5~. The resignation of lfr. Hopkins, sub-inspector, having been accepted on the 30th March, we determined to appoint in his place an organizing master, to act also when required as sub-inspector. Mr. G. W. Brown, B.A., Cantab., has been appointed to the post.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.

57. We desire briefly to request your Excellency's attention to' our rules and practice"relative to the important subject of religious instruction.

58. It is a fundamental principle in our system, that there should be ,four consecutive hours of secular instruction, before or after which, arrange­ments for special religious instruction can be made.

59. In vested schools, there is always a separate class-room in which H such pastors or other persons as shall be approved of by the parents or guardians of the children respectively/' have access to impart religious instruction.

60. In non-vested schools, it rests with the patrons to arrange for the giving of religious instruction, provided that the hours set apart for secular instruction be not interfered .'with, and that children, whose parents or guardians so desire, be allowed to absent themselves from the school at reasonable times, for the purpose of receiving' such instruction .. elsewhere.

61. Our ordinary school books comprise-four volumes of Scripture History, two from the Old and two from the New Testament; two volumes containing Lessons on the Truth, and Evidences, of Christianity; and one book of Sacred Poetry; in addition to Which the ordinary Lesson Books are interspersed with instruction on Sacred History. In every school a copy of the H General Lesson," which will be found in Appendix No.1, is hung up, together with a copy of the Ten Commandments.

62. The following extracts from the preface to the Scripture Lessons will show the objects with which they were compiled.

"These selections are offered not as a substitute for the sacred volume it.self, but as an introduction to it ; and they have been compiled in the hope of their leading to a more general, and m01'e pI'ofitable, perusal of the Word of God. The passages int.roduced have been ehosen, not as being of mOl'e importance than the rest of ScriptUl'e, hut merely as appearing to be most level to the understandings of children and youth at school; and also itS being the hest fitted to be read under the dircction of teachers, not neces'larily qmtlifiod, and certainly not recognised us teaehers of religio;). No passage has either been introduced, or omitted, under the influence of any peeuliar view of Christianity, doctrimtl 01' practical:'

" Tlie translation has been m'l.de by a comparison of the authorised and Douay vCI'sions with the original. The langua.ge sometimes of the one, and sometimes of the other, hltS b6en adopted, and oecasionally deviations have been made from both.

No. 17, c,

14

"The Commissioners offer these extracts from Scripture to the careful attention of teachers and children, not only as truth, but as truth recorded under the influence of inspiration; and truth with which it is of the utmost ll11portance for them to he well acquainted. And to the religious instructors of the children they cheerfully leave, in communicating that instruction, the use of the sacred volume itselt~ as containing those doctrines and precepts, a knowledge of which must lie at the foundation of all true religion.

" 'The law of the Lord is unspotted, con verting so~ls: the testimQny of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.'''

63. We regret to state that the Clergy do not generally avail them­selves of the advantages held out by our rules, for imparting religious instruction. We have received returns from 140 schools now in oneration, from which we find that, in 94 schools, no religious instruction~ is given other than that contained in the books before referred to.

64. The following is an abstract of the religious instruction given in the re~aining schools :-

Num:ber of Schools ... 46 Schools in which instruction is imparted by Clergymen ... 26 Ditt{) by Teachers ... ... 20

The denominations of the Clergy who visit are as follows:-

Schools visited by Clerg~ of the Church of England 20 Ditto Presbyterian... 3 Ditto by Clergy both of :the Church of England and Presby-

'. terian persuasions :3

26

. 65. No Clergy of the Roman Catholic, Wesleyan, Independent, or other persuasions attend, to impart religious instruction to the children of their respective persuasions. We thus find that less than 19 per cent. are visited by the clergy for this purpose.

, 66. It appears, however, that eight schools are occasionally visited by ministers who do not impart religious instruction, most of them believing that our ordinary school books contain as much of ·that instruction, as it is necessary for children to l,earn at schools.

67. In eight schools, Sunday schools are held.

68. 'Ye think it must be apparent to all Unprejudiced persons, that the National system imparts, through its books, and permits the clergy of the various denominations to impart, as much religious instruction as can be afforded under a combined system of education, and we are gratified in being able to state that no charge of proselytism has ever been preferred against any of our teachers.

69. It has long been believed by many of the supporters of National . schools, that pl'actically,as much :religious instruction is afforded in them as in Denominational schools; but few even of the best friends of the system will be prepared for the following statement, which we copy from the Report of a Commission appointed at the request of the Legislature of New South Wales, to inquire into the management of all elementary public schools in that colony. The Commissioners state: "Scripture extracts are " only read in National schools, but the children attending them, though in "some cases very ignorant, l.ne favorably distinguished in this respect, as "they possess a more intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures generally, "than the pupils in Denominational schools."

70. We have every reason to believe that the same statement wou,ld hold good in regard to religious instruction in National schools in Victoria~ as in New South Wales. .

APPENDICES.

APPENDIX No. 1.

RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THECOM:nnSSIONERS OF NATIONAL EnnCA· TION FOR THE COLONY OF VICTORIA, AND DIREC'rIONS FOR MAKING APPLICATION FOR AID, TOWARDS THE BUILDING OF SCHOOL.HOUSES, OR ]'OR THE SUPPORT OF SCHOOLS.

1.

1. It is the earnest wish of the Government, and of the Commissioners, that the Clergy and Laity of the different religious denominations in the colony, should co.operate with one another in conducling National Schools.

2. The Commissioners wilL grant aid towards the building and support of schools of two classes -Elementary Schools and Schools of Industry; but they can grant aid only to a limited number of the latter, and these must be at certain distances from each other. It is an indispensable condition' for aid towards a School of Industry, that it work·room shall be annexed to it, if It be situated in a town; and if it be a country or a rural school, that a certain quantity of land shall be provided for garden culture. ;rhe Commissioners will consider schools for females as of the class· of elementary schools; but they will reqnire that instruction be there given in sewing, knitting, and other works suited to females. "

IL-As TO THE GOVERN~IENT OF SCHOOLS, WITH, RESPECT TO ATTENDA.NCE A.ND R.ELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.

1. The ordinary school business for secular instruction, during which children, of whatever denomination they may be, are required to attend, is to embrace a period of not less than four conse· cutive hours each day.

, 2. The patrous of every school have the right of appointing such religious instruction as they may think proper to be given therein, provided that each school be open to children of all communions; that due regard be had to parental right and authority; that, accordingly, no child be compelled to receive or to be present at any religious instruction to which his or her parents or guardians objeet; and that the time for giving it be so fixed that no child shall be thereby, in effect, excluded, directly or indirectly, from the other advantages which the school affords. If; therefore, religious instruction be given 'in the school. room, arrangements must be madc for imparting it before, or after, thc honrs set apart for secular instruction,

S. In schools towards the building of which the Commissioners have contributed, and which are. therefore, vested in the Commissioners in their corporate ~apacity, or in Trustees for the purposes of National Education, opportunities and facilities are to be afforded to the children for reeeiring such religious instruction as their parents or guardians approve of, in class-rooms, to be provided ror the purpose, to which such pastors, or other persons, as shall be approved of by the parents or gnllJ'dians of the children respectively, shall have aceess at eonvenient hmes, to bc appointed for this pU1'po~e, whether those pastors or persons shall have signed the original application or not.

4. The reading of the Scriptures, either in the Protestant authorized, or Donay comes within the above rule as to religious instruction.

5. The rule as to religious instruction applies to public prayer, and to alJ other religious exercises.

6. The Commissioners do not insist on the ., Scripture Lessons," "Lessons on the Truth of' Christianity," or the" Book of Sacred Poetry," being relUl in any of the National Schools, nor do they allow them to be read during the time of secular or literary instruction, in any school attended by children whose parents or gua.rdians object to their being so read. In such case, the Commissioners prohibit the use of them, except at the times of religious instruction, when the persons giving it may use these lessons or not, as they think proper. ..

7. Whatever arrangement is made in any school for .givincr religious instruction, must be publicly notified in the school.room, iii. order that.those children, and those only, may be present whose parents or guardians allow them. This publie notification is to be inserted in large letters in the "Time Table;" and" as far"as. may be p~~ctic~ble.' the general nature ?f such religious inst~ction should be also stated m the Tlme Table, which 18 to be kept hung up III a conspieuous place, 1Il the school.room, in large characters,

8. If any other books than the Holy Scripturcs, or the standard books of the church to which the children using them belong, are employed in communicating religious instruction, each work is to be made known to the local patrons by the pastor or religious instructor, and the local patrons ar!' required ro report the title and character of such w?rk to the Commissioners.

No, 17, d.

18

9. The use of the hooks published by the Commissioners of N ationa[ Education in Ireland, is not compulsory; but the titles of all other books, which the conductors of schools intend for the ordi­nary school business, are to be reported to the Commissioners, and none are to be llsed to which they object; their intention being to 'prohibit such only as may appear to them to eontain matter objection­able in itself, or objectionable for common instruction, as peculiarly belonging to some particular religioJls denomination. '

10. 4. registry is. to be kept in each school, recording tlie daily attendance of the scholars, and the average attendance in each week and each quarter, according to a form to be furnished by the Commissioners.

IlL-As TO TEACHERS.

1. The appointment of teachers rests with the local patrons of schools, but the Commissioners are to be satisfied of the fitness of each, both as to character and general qualification; and the local patrons have the power of removing teachers of their own authority. A teacher should be a person of Ohristian .sentiment, of calm temper and discretion; he should be imbued with a spirit of peace, of obedience to the law, and of loyalty to his sovereign; he· should not only possess the art of communi. eating knowledge, but be capable of moulding the mind of youth, and of giving to the power which education confers, a useful direction. These are the qualities for which patrons of schools, when making choice of teachers, should anxiously look: they are those which the Commissioners arc anxious to find, to encourage, and to reward.

2. The Commissioners have provided a Normal Establishment in Melbourne, for' training teachers ani educating persons who are intended to undertake the of schools, and they will not sanction the permanent aJlJlointment of a teacher to any school, uuless he orahe shall ,have been previously trained at the'N ormal Establishment, or shall have been pronounced duly qualified by the Inspector or other authorized persons.,

3. Teachers selected by the Commissioners for admission to the Normal Establishment, must produce a certificate of good character from an officiating clergyman of the communion to which they belong, and must pass through an examination in the bOOKS published by the Irish Commissioners. A vigilant superintendence will be at all times ex.ercised over their moral conduct.

4. The Commissioners will, subject to the following rules, grant u salary to each teacher, in accordance with the scale laid down in the rules and regulations for the classification and salaries pf teachers. . '

5. AlllLewly appointed teachers, who have not previously conducted schools, will be considered as probationers, aud must remain as such for one year, or such shorter period as the Commissioners may determine, when they will be eligible for classification.

6. No teacher will be permitted to draw any salary but that of a probationer, although he may be classed, unle~s t~e Chi~fInspector can '!'!'lport !iliat his. capabili~ies as a teach.er are s~tisfactory:

7. ExammatlOns will be held at speCIfied tImes, WIth the view orpromotmg mentonous teachers, while those who may have condncted themselves improperly, or in whose schools the attendance has considerably decreased, will be liable to be depressed.

8. The Commissioners \vill not grant a salary to an assistant teacher, or to a teacher of needle­work, unless they are satisfied that the appointment is nccessary; and when applications for an assistant are laid before them, they will decide whether it will not be more advisable to appoint a puid monitor or pu r. In all eases, a literary teacher will be entitled to the full salary of the class in which he or may have been placed. .

9. The Commissioners have determined upon a course of study (or each class, in. which the teachers ·will be examined, as a test of their fitness for proElotion; Qut their general conduct, the condition of their respective schools, their method of eonducting them, and the daily average attend-ance of pupils, will be taken into consideration. J '

10, The Commissioners will require that a further income be secured to the teacher" either by local subscription or school fees, to snch an amount in each case as they may direct; and that the payments made by the children shall not be diminished in consequence of any increase of salary which may be awarded to the teacher. The apportionment of school fees among the' teachers, and the partiil appropriation of the same towards defraying the incidental expenses of the school, will be in each case left to the direction of the lOyal patrons, subject to the approval of the Commissioners. .

11. So long as the average daily attendance in a school continues under thirty, the salary awarded will not emceed that of a 'p~obationary teacher,. and wil~ not, ordinarily, be' more than £50 a·year; but whenever an average dUlly attendance of thIrty pupils can be shown, from the records of the school, for a period of throe months, the teacher will then be paid the amount of salary to which he or 'she may be entitled, according to the scale of classifieation. "

12. The Commissioners will not ordi.narily grant a salary to a workmistress in a mixed school, unless theriJ be an average attendance of tW'enty female pupils.

IS. When the average daily attendance in a sehool reaches forty, the Commissioners will a paid monitor. .

14. The Commissioners will not grant a salary to an assistant in any school in whieh there is not an average daily attendance of at least fifty pupils; 'and in schools where the average attendance does not rise considerably above this, and which are already provided ... >ith paid monitors, assistants caunot he recognized by the board.

16. In schools attended by female children only, under the care of a female teacher, subh teacher must he competent to conduet the needlework, as well as the literary department.

16. The Commissioners will also grant salaries to assistant literary teachers, in: all schools where, in their opinion, the daily average attendance is so large as to render additional teaehers necessary.

17. Salaries will be granted by the Commissioners to teachers individually; no new teacher, therefore, is to receive a salary from them unless they have first approved of him ; and,the amount will be regulated by the class in which he may be plaqed. . , . .

18. The Commissioners will award premiums, annually, to the most deserving masters and mistresses on the recommendation of the Inspector; the amount in each case to be fixed by the Commissioners, ,'.. .

19. The Inspectors are authorized to recomI)1end, that such teachers be removed;'or lowered in their classificati.on, as may have eonducted themselves improperly, or in whose schQols the attendance lll1!l eonsiderably decreased; or who, from any other cause, may seem to these officers to merit such punishment. . . . .

19

. 20. The Commissioners also propose to establish a system of pupil teachers, who will be apprenticed to competent masters, to be instructed and trained so as to be prepared to complete their education as teachers in the Normal School. Salaries will be granted to the pupil teachers, and gratuities to the training masters.

t' IV.-INSPECTION OF SCIIOOLS.

1. Admission of Visitors.

1. 'rhe public generally must have access to every National School during the hours devoted to secular instruction,-not to take part in the ordinary business, nor to interrupt it,-but, as visitors, to observe how it is conducted.

2. Every teacher of aN ational School is to rec.eive, courteously, visitors of all denominations; to afford them. free access to the school-room, and full liberty to observe what books are in the hands of the children or upon the desks, what tablets are hung upon the walls, and what is the method of teaching; but they are by no means required to permit any person to interrupt the business of the school, by asking questions of the children, examining classes, calling for papers of any kind, or in any other way diverting the attention of either teachers or scholars from their usual business.

3. Should any visitors wish for iuformation which they cannot obtain from such an inspection, it will be the duty of the tcachers to rcfer them to the local patrons of the school for it. , 4. Every teacher is requir!Jd to have his Visitor's or Daily Report Book lying upon his desk,

that visitors may, if they choose, enter remarks in it. Such rcmarks as may be made the teachers are by no means to alter, O! .era~e.. ..

. 5. As the rehglOus mstructlOn of the children IS under the control of the clergyman or lay person communicating it, with the approbation of their parents, the Commissioners can give no liberty to any other visitor, whether clergyman or layman, to interfere therewith.

2. Inspection by the Commissioners 01' their Officers. 1. The Commissioners, by themselves, or their officers, have a right to examine the schools

whenever they shall think fit. Those who visit on the part of the Commisisioners will be furnished with credentials under their seal, which such visitors will show to the teachers. " 2. The Commissioners have divided the Oolony of Victoria into School Districts, with a view to

their eifectiveinspection, and have appointed such Inspectors to each as are necessary. 3. The Commissioners have issued detailed instructions to the Inspectors of their schools.

V. ApPOINTMENT OF LOCAL PATRONS OF SCHOOLS. 1. The appointment of patrons of schools ,vhich are vested in the Commissioners in their corporate

capacity, rests Wlth the Commissioners, who will, however, whenever it may be practicable, appoint the anginal promoters of the school; and they will also, when 'occasions arise, add to the number of local patrons of a school, and name such additional patrons. .

2. The appointment of :patrons of schools which are vested in Trustees for the purposes of National Educatioll, will rest wltli the Trustees, subject to the approval of the Commissioners.

3, Thc Commissioners will consider themselves entitled to remove any local patron, whose continuance in office as patron of a school vested in the Commissioners in their cOl1?orate capacity, or in Trustees for the puwoses of National Education, may appear to them. incompatible with the general principles of the NatlOnal system.

4. The Commissioners will not interfere with the appointment of patrons of non-vested schools; but they will require that the constitution of the Board of Patrons be submitted to them before taking the school under their supervision. .

Vr.-BUILDING. 1. Before any grant is made towards building a school-house, the Co=issioners are to be

satisfied that a .necessity exists for such a school, that an eligible site has been granted by the Crown, or (if otherwise procured) that a satisfactory conveyance will be exeeuted to the Commissioners in their eorporate capacitY,-or to Tru~tees for th~ pU1:poses of N ~tional Education, and tha;t the applican~ ~artitl8· are prepared to ralse, by prlvate eontrlbutlOn, a portion of the whole stun whieh the Comrrussloners deem necessary: for the erection of the house, providing furniture, &c. .

• 2. The Commissioners will determine, from the informatioll afforded them, the dimensions of the proposed building. . . . '_ . . . 3. The CO=lss10ner8 will not contrIbute to the ornamentmg of school-houses, but merely to

such expenditure as may be necessary for having the ehildren accommodated in plain substantial buildings. If buildings of another description be preferred, the whole of the extra expense must be provided l>y the applicants. ,

4. Previous to· the payment of any building instalments, certificates, according to a torm furnished, must be forwardcd to the Co=issioners, stating that a due proportion of the works has been satisfactorily exeeuted.

VII.-BooKs. 1. The Commissioners furnish gratuitously to each school a first set of school books. The,r. are

to be kept as a sehool stock, for which the master or mistress will be held responsible, and they will be renewed from time to time, as may' be required. The Commissioners also supply books from time to time, for the general use of the children, and school requisites, such as paper, slates, &e., at cost price, and maps or black boards at redueed rates.

2. When books, &c., purchased from the Commissioners, are sold to children attending aN ational School, it is directed that in no case shall any advance be made on their prices; and the Inspectors will receive instructions to enquire into and report upon any infraction of thiS rule.

VIII.-N ON-VESTED SCHOOLS. 1. In Bc.!t0?ls not vested.in the Commissioner~ i~ their corl?orate capacity, or in Trustees.for the

purposes of :N atlOnal Education, and to the bUllding of which they have not contributed, th& Oommissioners' will grant aid oruy by way of salary a.nd books.

20

2. In these schools it will be for the patrons to arrange for the giving of religious instruction. provided that the hours set apart for secular instruction be not interfered with, and that the children, whose parents or guardians so desire, be allowed to' absent themselves from the school at reasonable­times, for the purpose of receiving religious instruction elsewhere.

3. To entitle a school to a continuance of aid, the house and furniture must be kept in sufficient repair by means of private contributions; the school conducted in all respects in a satisfactory manner, and in accordance with the regulations of the Commissioners; and it must appear, from the register of the school, that there is a sufficient daily average attendance of pupils.

, IX.-Bo.\'RDING SCHOOLS. c 1. The Commissioners would wish to establish, in the more thinly populated districts of the

colony, a system of boarding children in the vicinity of National Schools; and, in the meantime, they request from such employers of labor as are favorable to general education, and inclined to become patrons of schools in connection with the Board, all local information on the subject which they may consider themselves able to afford. '

X.-MrscELLANEOUS. 1. When any school is received into connection with the Commissioners, the words" National

SClIOOl," and no others, must be placed conspicuously on the scnool-house. . 2. The Commissioners require that no use shall be made of the school-houses for any purpose

tending to contention, such as the holding of political mcetings in them, or bringing into them political petitions, or documents of any kind. for signature; or otherwise. .

3. The Commissioners require that the National School-rooms shall not be converted into places of public worship.

4. SUbject to the preceding rule, the Commissioners will not, in ordinary cases, exercise any control over the use of school buildings on Sundays, such control being left in the hands of local patrons.

5. The Commissioners will require that the principles of. the following lesson, or of a lesson of similar import, be strictly inculcated in all schools admitted into conncction with thc :Board, "and that a copy of the lesson itself be hung up in each school :-

"Christians should endeavor, as the Apostle Paul commands them, to 'live peaceably with all men' (Rom. ch. xii. v. 17), even with those of a different rcligious persuasion.

" Our Saviour Christ commanded his disciples to 'love one another.' He taught them to love even their .enemies, to bless those that cursed them, and to pray for those who pcrsecuted them. He himself prayed foy his mu:rderers.

, " Many men hold erroneous doctrines, but we ought not to hate or persecute them. We ought to seek for the truth, and to hold fast what we are convinced is the truth, but not to treat harshly those who are in error. Jesus Christ did not inte'nd his religion to be forced on mcn by violent means. He would not allow his disciples to fight for him.

"If any persons treat us nnkinc1ly," we must not do the same to them: for Christ and his Apostles have taught' us not to return evil for evil. If we w0111d obey Christ, we must do to others, not as they do to us, but as we,would wish them to dO'to us. . " Quarrelling with our neighbors and abusing them is not the way to convince them that we are

in the right and they are in the wrong. It is more likely to convince them that we have not a Christian spirit.' .

H We ought to show ourselves followers of Christ, who, 'when he was reviled, reviled not again • (1 Pet. ch. ii. v. 23), by behaving gently and kinc1ly to evcry one."

6. The Commissioners will regard the attendance of any of their teachers at meetings held for politicall?urpos.es, or their taking part in e~ection.s for mcmbers .of t~e Legislature,. excel(t by voting, as 1I1compatible With the performance of their duties, and as' a vlOlatwn of rulc which Will render them liable to dismissal.

XL 1. The Commissioners desire it to be distinctly understood that they will not hold themselves

bonnd to grant assistance in any case, nnless applicatIOn shall have been made to them in the first instance; nnless such application shall have been approved; and nnless they shall have funds at their disposal, when they come to decide upon the case, to enable them to grant the required aid. Applicants are, therefore, recommended not to incur any expense towards thc payment of which they exp!3ct the Commissioners.to contribute, nntil the decision of the Board shall have been communicatcd to them.

2. Applicants for assistance are not to nnderstand that the Commissioners are bound to grant· any specific amonnt of aid in any particular case, nor can they grant any, unless they have sufficient funds for the purpose, which will depend upon the amount placed at their disposal by the Legislature.

3. Persons desirous of obtaining assistanee from the Commissioners of National Education,. nnder any of the foregoing heads, will, upon intimating to the Secretary the nature of the aid required, be furnished with the forms upon which their application must be laid before the Commissioners.

. 4. All letters should be addressed as under, and in all.cases prepaid.

APPENDIX No.3.

CIRCULARS AND OFFICIAL FORMS. [CIRCULAR No.1.]

Regulations as to School Accounts, Returns, and 'Salaries. • I.-CLASS RoLLS.

1. The Class-rolls must be called and filled up in ink, at a time which is to be specified on the time table as "Roll Call." '

2. The absences are to be noted in ink by (+); presence is to be left blank. When, however, a pupil is absent at roll-call, but has been present in the course of the day, he will not be noted as absent.

3. A new admission is to be marked with (A) on the day ofadmission. 4. A transfer is t,o be marked with (T), on the day of transference, in the rolls of both classes. 5. When a pupil has been marked' absent every day in four consecutive weeks, his name must

be struck off, by a.line drawn across in such a wa.y that the name may b.e read off without difficulty; and a horizontal line is to be drawn in the Class-roll from the last absence.

6. If he return before the end of the quarter, he is a new admission, and' his number on the first column is to be precisely the same as in the register ..

7. The headings must be carefully filled up. S. The second place of digits, in the seventh column; is al'wa,ys to be· filled: up. 9. The name of the month in each quarter should be written above the horiiontalline at the top

of the Class-roll; and, immediately under the line, the date· ending each week should be set down' in figures.

10. The extreme columns at the right·hand side of'the 'Class-roll's should' contain-the one, the number of days present; the other, the number of days absent, excepting the absences of four consecutive weeks. and after. the name has been struck off. l'heso entries should be opposite to the name of each pupil. And: at the end of the quarter, the squares, at the bottom of'the roll should: express the Bums of these two columns.

11. Separate rolls arc to be kept for the boys and girls; 12. The same roll must not be used for two dasses. 13. A roll must be kept for each of the five classes into· which a school' is ordinarily divided.

When there is no first class or fifth class, blank forms must be returned with the word" None" under the head of" Scholars' names."

14. When a class exceeds fifty, and.' therefore requires more than one roll, every succeeding roll is to be treated exactly as the first, and only the words" Roll contihued'" added:.

15, At the end of the last week termim.ting in the quarter, the teacher will add up the number of days in which each chiI'd has been present and on which he has been absent (exclusive of any wet days on which the attendance has not been computed. &e paragraph 4, section 3) ,

16. He will not reckon a child' as absent on those days which are included' within four weeks' consecutive absence, or when the teacher knows that he will be absent for four consecutive weeks.

17. He will add these columns, and enter the sums in the blank spaces A. R 18. He will then calculate A + B: A : : 100: the per.centage of the total days' actual

attendance to the total days' possible attendance, and he will report the same in the quarterly return. 19. The rolls must' be carefully preserved, and, returned to this office at the end of <every quarter,

in a separate C01Ier, marked" Class.rolls," with the name of the school, on the outside. No salary due at the end of any quarter will be paid till ,the rolls are received.

n.-REGISTER BOOK.

1. Every pupil's name, with the date of admission, is. to, be entered, although he may not be classed.

2. The parent or guardian is the only authority for denomination and age, and it is a duty of the teacher to ascertain these points ..

3. In noting the religious denomination of the child; the following abbreviations may conveniently be adopted, viz,:

For Church of En!,jland .. , ... C:E. 'I. For Wes1eyan ... ... w. " Roman Cathohc ... ... R.C. " BaptIst ... ... ... B'. " Presbyterian ...... P. "Independent ... ... r.

4. As soon as It child is classed, the date is to be put opposite his name und'er the figure denoting his class, thus -h, i. e., the first month (January) of the year 1:857. In like manner, if a child be promoted, the date must be similarly registered.

6. On removal, his name must be crossed as on the Class-roll. 6. On the re-admission of a ehild, he is to be considered as a Hew pupil:, and is to be entered

immediately after the last registered name, his new register number forming the numerator, his former number the denominator of the fraction :-thus, suppose his preceding number to hav.e been 35 and his present one 110, it would stand thus-V!. The denominator to be written in red ink.

7. Separate registers must be kept for the boys and girls.

III. REPORT BOOK.

1. The attendance is to be entered in the Repor~ book each day, 2. The amount of school fees received is to be entered in the Report book every week. 3. In the space below the forms the master is to make no entries: visitors will there enter their

names and observations. 4. The attendance on any very wet day is not to be computed in striking the average for the

week. In such cases tile words" Wet day" are to be written across the space marked for the day, and the signature of the corresponding patron affixed.

IT.-RETURNS.

1. At the end of every quarter a return (according to a form furnished), showing the attendance with other particulars, is to be forwarded to this office. '

2. The sehool quarters end with the last Saturdays in each quarter ending Mar.m, June, . September, and December respectively, and the returns are, therefore, to be made up to those periods, and forwarded in time to reach this office not litter than the loth of the succeeding month.

S. The number of children" on the rolls" will comprise all children who have been on the rolls of the school during any portion of the quarter.

4. The average daily attendance will be found by adding together the" daily average" (as given in the Report book) for each week, and dividing by the number of weeks.

5. The average number of days' attendance of each child during the quarter will be found by adding together the number of days on which each child has been present, and dividing by the number of children on the rolls.

" 6 .. The proportion of average daily attendance to 100 children on the rolls, will be found by multiplying the average daily attendance by 100, and dividing by the number of children on the rolls.

7. The average age ofthe child will also be found from the Class-rolls. 8. In order that the "per-centage of total actual attendance to total possible attendance" may be

properly checked, the calculation (A + B : A : : 100 : per-centage required) is to be inserted in the vacant space between the signatures of the local patrons and teachers.

9. When there is not anything to be inserted in a column, it is not to be left blank, but let a line be drawn across.

10. The correspondent is invariably to sign the returns. 11. It is earnestly requested that due care mar. be taken in compiling these returns, and in

replying to,the queries annexed to them, for their utilIty will be in proportion to their accuracy, and if erroneous they may prove positively misehievous, and bring discredit on thfl individuals furnishing them and the system they are engaged in carrying out. The Commissioners strongly recommend that the answers of the local l)atrons to the queries proposed should be affixed at II> quarterly meeting of the patrons, to be convened for the purpose.

12. The Commissioners will call ror any special returns that may from time to time be required. 13. A copy of each quarterly return is to be kept as a school record.

V.-SALARIES.

1. Teachers' salaries will be paid monthly, and the abstracts are to be made from the first to the last day of each calendar month, and forwarded without delay. . .

2. vVhen the teachers do not call at this office for payment of their salaries, a written order is to be invariably annexed to the abstracts, stating the manner in which the salaries are to be paid. If salaries are forwarded by post, it will be at the teacher's own risk.

S. The receipt and certificate are to be ruled up in the singular or plural numb€'r,as the case may be.

4. When an allowance is claimed for rent, add to the certificate the following words: HAnd that the above-named (specifying the names) not provided with house accommodation of any kind or description what.~oever during the period specified."

5. When an allowance is claimed for the rent of the school-house, it is to be inserted under the head of" Other allowances."

6. The .oorresponding patron must invariably sign the eertificate and the statement of attendance at the back of the abstract. vVhen he is unable to do so, from absence, illness, or any other cause, the teacher must explain on the back of the abstract.

7. Strict attention is required to the above. In the event of any error or omission, the voucher will be invariably returned.

By Order of the Co=issioners, BENJAMIN F. KA.L'i"E.

National Education Office, Melbourne, August, 1859.

N.B.-The sch001 records are on no account to be taken out of the sehool. A copy of these Regulations is to be hung up in every school-room.

Time Table-

National Education Office, Melbourne, 1st November, 1853.

By desire of the Board of National Education, I have tile honor to transmit herewith the subjoined forms of a "Time Table," for your information and guidance in the conduct of the school under your superintendenee. '

These forms are submitted by the Board as an example of the manner in which a good Time Table may be constructed, and they are· not intended as forms which are in all cases to be strictly adhered to. The number of children in attendance at each partieular school, the proficiency of the scholars, their classification, the subjects required to be taught, and other local circumstances appertain­ing to education, should all be carefully considered before drawing up a Time Table for your schooL

You will perceive that in the accompanying tables not more than half an hour is devoted at once to any subject; as that will probably be found quite long enough to direct the attention of chil­dren to the acquisition of knowledge of anyone braneh, even supposing it should be found necessary to revert to the same subject in the class more than once daily.

By examining the tables horizontally the occupation of each elsss at any period of the school time will be seen at once; and an inspection of the vertical columns, which show the occupation of a class separately for a day, will enable the judicious teacher to judge of the amount and value of the instructIOn given daily to each class, ana so to modify his Time T!tble as may bE.' judged most expedient to improve the .efficiency of his school.

32

2. I am, at the same time, to direct your attention to paragraph 7, section II., of the Rules and Regulations of the Commissioners, as follows :-

" Whatever arrangemcut is made in any school for giving r~ligious instruction must be publicly notified in the school.room, in order that those childreu, and those only, ma,y be present, whose parents or guardians allow them, This public notifica,tion is to be inserted in large letters in the 'Time Table,' and as far as may be practicable, the general nature of such religious instruction should be also stated in the' Time Table,' which is· to be kept hung up iu a conspicuous place in the school-room in large characters." ,

You will be careful, therefore, in adopting a Time Table for your scho~l, to in,sert ~ it i,n large characters, whatever arrangements may be made b'y the Local Patrons, in conJuIictiOn With the dilferent ministers of religion, for imparting religious instruction: '

... I have the honor to be, To o Your most obedient Servant,

Teacher of the National School, at

(CIRCULaR No.4.] : National Education Office"

GENTLEMEN, Melbourne, 20th November, 1854. I am directed by the Commissioners of National Education, to acquaint you that their Circular

dated 10th February, 1854, respectinl$ the employment of Teachers as Catechetical Instructors, has been cancelled, and that the CommissIOners have adopted the following resolution on the subject, which is to be strictly adhered to in all schools under their superintendence :-

" That the Local Patrons of each School be informed that religious instruction in thc school or class-rooms-but not durin~ the hours of secular instruction--;-may be imparted by the Teacher in conformity with the regulatlOns of the Commissioners, if the Local Patrons, in writing, consent to such arrangement; provided that this rule shall in no way authorize the Teacher, either in or out of school, to act as a Minister in connection with any Denomination; and that, in the event of any abu8& of this permission, the COnmllssionerswill at once require the removal of the Teacher."

I havc the honor to be, Gentlemen,

Your most obedicnt Servant, The 130ard of J..ocal Patrons, National School, 13ENJAMIN F. KANE.

[ClRCULA.R No. 5.J National Education Office,

GENTLEMEN, Melbourne, November, 1856'_ I am directed by the Commissioners of National Education to call your attention to the following

A Regulations which they have made, in explanation, and addition, to those given in Section VI. of the Regulations of the 13oard, relative to the building of School·houses:-

1. Whenever a grant is made by the Commissioners for building, repairing, or furnishing a School-house, or for any \vorks whatsoever appertaining to a School, conditional upon a proportionate. amount being raised by local contribution, the Commissioners will require that the local subscriptions 'shall be remitted to them, or paid to their credit at the Bank of Australasia, before any payments ar&

made. 2. The Commissioners will then, on the certificates of the Patrons, and Architect (if any be

employed), that a due 'Proportion of the works has been executed in a satisfactory mauner, })ay instal­ments at a rate not exceeding £75 per cent. upon the. works actually executed.

3, As eonsiderable inconveuience has been caused in consequence of grants remaining for a long time outstanding, I am directed to acquaint you that, in future, the Commissioners will require that, within one month after the notificatIOn of a grant shall have been made, the Patrons shall state definitively whether the grant is accepted or not; that, within six months after the notification of the grant, the whole of the local subscriptions, or such portion as the Commissioners shall deem sufficient for the purpose, shall have been paid in; and that, within nine months after the notification of the grant, building operations shall have been actually commenced.

In the event of failure in carrying out any of these, conditions, the Commissioners will hold themselves authorized t.e withdraw the grant.

I have the honor t.e be, Gentlemen,

Your most obedient. Servant, The Board of Local Patrons, National School, 13ENJAMIN F. KANE~

[CIBCULAR· No. 6.J National Education Office,

GENTLEMEN, Melbourne, July, 1856~ I am directed by the Commissioners of National Education to inform you that they have had

uuder consideration the subjects of repairs to school buildings, and of fees ]Jayable by the parent.s of' children attending National Schools.

2. The Commissioners do not reeommend that any uniform scale of school fees should be­adopted throughout the conntrv, as local circumstances differ so widely, in many instances. that what lnight be a fair sum to expect from pa.rents in one case, might, in another, be either too high or t()() low. The amount must be left, in each ease, to the discretion of the Patrons; the simple question for them to decide being, that sum which will be so much as to encourage a parent to send his child to a National School; 'lnd, at the same time, so large as to render him anxious not to lose the vallIe of hi9-money.

3. In special cases, where parents are known to be 1)001', it will probably be found desirable that their children should be admitted to the full benefits of the school, at a reduced rate, or gratuitously, as the case may be.

4. With reference to the mode of appropriating school fees, you will perceive that" by paragraph 9, section III., of the Regulations of the Commissioners, the teRCher's income is to be supplemented by school fees, or local subscriptions, to such amount, in each case, as the Commissioners may direct. With one or two exeeptions, in which it has been found to work exceedingly well, the plan hitherto adopted in the majority of N ationa) Schools, has been to hand over the whole of the fees to the teacher in augmentation of his salary. Although the Commissioners think that some portion of school fees should be distributed in this way, as the teacher has thereby a more direct interest in increasing the number of his seholars, they recommend that' It certain portion, savone-fifth, or more or less as cir­cumstances may seem to require, should be set aside to form a schoo! fund for the extension and repair of the school buildings and other general expenses.

5. The subject of repairs to school· houses has engaged the attention of the Commissioners for a considerable _time. As the rule at present stands, Patrons of schools are required, after the school haa. been built and furnished in the first instance, to provide for the due repair of the buildings. The:

NQ. 17, fl.

34

Commissioners have observed, with regret;, that, in many instances, this rule ha.~ been neglected, and school.houses have been suffered to fall into.a state of decay. The Commissioners have not the means to provide for·t,he repair of school-houses wholly at the public expense; nor do they think it advisable that thc Local Patrons should be absolved from all responsibility in the matter, as 'it would be impossible for the Commissioners ,to send a duly qualified person to inspect the buildings, and report as to l'epairs.re'quired in each'case; and unless they were able to do this, they would have no sufEcient check upon the sums expended. .

The Commissioners, therefore, propose that the reserved portion of the school fees, together with private subscriptions, should form a fund to be applied, as circumstances may require, for the extension or repair of the school buildings, OJ: other incidental expenses,-which appropriation will be met, as in the case of an original huilding, by a similar amount from this Board.

I have the honor to be, ' . Gentlemen,

The Board of Local Patrons, National School, at

Your most obedient Servant, BENJAlYIIN F. KANE.

[CIRCULAR No. 7.J National Education Office,

GENTLEMEN,.. Melbourne, June, 1859. Considerable inconvenience having been caused, in some instances, by the abrupt resignation of

Teachers; I am directed by the Copnnissioners of National Education, to request, that when engaging Teachers, you will require them to enter into an agreement, binding themselves to at least, one month's notice before resigning their appointments.

APPENDIX No.6.

TWELVE PRACTICAL RULES FOR THE TEACHERS OF NATIONAL SCHOOLS.'

The Teachers of National Schools are required-

1. To keep at least one copy of the General LesRon suspended conspicuously in,the school-room,. and to inculcate the principles contained in it in the minds of their pupils. .

2. To exclude from the school, except at the hours set apart for religious instruction, all catechisms and books inculcating peculiar religious opinions. "

3. To avoidlolitical meetings of every kind, to abstain from controversy, and to do nothing either in or out 0 school which might have a tendency to confine it to anyone denomination of children.

4. To keep the Register, Report Book, and Class Lists accurately and neatly, and according to the precise form prescribed by the Board. . .

5. To clllBsify the children according to the National School Books, to study those books them­selves, and to teach according to the improved methods pointed' out in their several prefaces.

6. To observe themselves, and to impress upon the minds of their pupils, the great rule . of regularity and order-H A time and a place for everything, and everything in its proper time and pla6e."

7. To promote both by precept and example, cleanliness, neatness and decency. To effect this the teachers should set an example of cleanliness and neatness· in their own persons and in the state and general appearance of their schools. They should also satisfy themselves by personal inspection every morning that the children have had. their hands and faces washed, their hair combed and clothes cleaned, and, when necessary, mended. The school apartments, too, should be swept and dusted every evening, and whitewashed at least once a year.

S. To pay the strictest attention to the moral and general conduct of their pupils, and to omit no opportunity of inculcating the principles of truth and honesty, the duty of respect to superiors, and obedience to au persons placed in authority over them.

9. To evince a regard. for the improvement and general welfare of their pupils, to treat them with kindness combined with firmness, and to aim at governing them by their affections and reason,. rather than by harshness and severity.

10. To cultivate kindly and affectionate feelings among their pupils, to discountenance quarrelling,. cruelty to animals, and every approach to vice. .

11. To record in the School Report Book the amount of all grants made by the Board, and the purposes for which they were made. ,

12. To take strict care of the free set of school books granted by the Board, and to endeavor to keep the school constantly su'pplied' with National School books and requisites, for sale to the children at the prices charged by the Commissioners. .
