* Reading with intelligence will be required in all the Standards, and increased fluency and expression in successive years. Two sets of reading books must be provided for Standards I, II., and III., one of which should relate to English History, for each Standard above the second. The inspector may examine from any of the books in use in the Standard. The intelligence of the reading will be tested partly by questions on the meaning of what is read. "Reading will be tested in the ordinary class-books, if approved by the inspector; but these books must be of reasonable length, and difficulty, and unmarked. If they are not so, books brought by the inspector will be used."

The Writing and Arithmetic of Standards I. and II. may be on slates or paper, at the discretion of the managers; in Standards III. and upwards it must be on paper.

The work of girls will be judged more leniently than that of boys. The Inspector may examine scholars in the work of any Standard lower than that in which they are presented.

"Their lordships have ruled that sums are not to be dictated to Standard I. beyond 1,000 and so with the higher standards up to 1,000,000; but if the sums are set in figures the examiner may go as far as 9,999 for Standard I., and so on with the higher standards up to within one of ten millions. If the sums are written or printed in words the same rule applies as in dictation."Extract from Letter from the Department, June, 1879.
