read by one of the Children, as in the Morning, with the substitution only of the 2d and 3d Evening Collects for the two Morning Collects. The Religious exercises learnt by heart are the Lord's PrayerGrace before and after meat-2d and 3d Collects of the Morning and Evening Service-Prayer on entering and leaving Church-the Catechism entire-and the same broken into short questions. The Books in reading, for which the Children are prepared by previous instruction on the sand trays, are-National Society Central School, No. 1. or Cards (taught Card by Card, first by previous spelling, then by words)--National Society Central School, No. 2.— National Society Central School, No. 3.-the Sermon on the Mount -the Parables--the Discourses-and the Miracles of Our Blessed Saviour Ostervald's Abridgement of the Old Testament-and Mrs. Trimmer's Abridgement of the New-all taught in the usual way, except that the spelling columns No. 3. are first read syllabically and then by words: then follow the Bible and Prayer Book, to be put into the hands of such as by means of this initiatory course have attained to good reading. The ciphering exercises begin with "Arithmetical Tables for the use of Schools on the Madras System" in order, viz. the Tables of Numeration, counting as far as 100 forwards and backwards, of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division, and Tables of Money, after which the Children proceed in the same order to the practice of the rules on slates, ending with compound Multiplication and Division. The writing exercises begin with the letters, figures, and stops, in the sand trays, and then proceed to writing on Slates, until sufficient progress is made for occasional writing in Copy-books. No. IX. Form of Certificate for Masters. NATIONAL SOCIETY CENTRAL SCHOOL. THIS is to certify that who is desirous of being admitted into the NATIONAL CENTRAL SCHOOL, for the purpose of learning the System of Education there practised, is a Member of the UNITED CHURCH of ENGLAND and IRELAND as by law established, and of a sober and religious life and conversation, It is requested that no Clergyman will sign the above Certi ficate as a matter of form, but that he will make the strictest en quiries into the character of the person applying for his signature, and into the regularity of attendance upon the Service of the Church. No. X. Rules and Regulations for Training Masters. THE conduct and improvement of the Masters being objects to which the very particular attention of the Committee is directed, it is ordered That a Book shall be kept, to be called the Report of the Masters, which shall be a faithful register of their conduct, and be laid weekly before the COMMITTEE, during whose sitting every Master is required to be in waiting. That every Master on his arrival from the country be directed to enter his name, and the place whence he came, in a Book prepared for the purpose, and to take a copy of the Rules of the School. That every Master do attend in the School-room each day precisely at eight o'clock in the Summer, and in the Winter months a quarter before nine in the morning, and at half-past one in the afternoon, and enter his name and the exact time of his attendance in a Book to be kept for that purpose, and that any omission to make such an entry be noted as an absence without leave. That every Training Master do wait his dismission by the Superintending Master, previous to his leaving the School morning and afternoon; and do examine the Orderly Book on first entering the School in the morning, to see what duty is assigned to him for the day. That, as the object of the attendance of Training Masters upon the School, is their speedy and perfect attainment to a knowledge of the Madras System, every Master be desired on his first entry to attend one of the junior classes for his more ready initiation in the manner of giving out and saying a lesson, there to remain until such time as he is perfectly master of it, or rises to the top of the class, &c. That no Master be on any account allowed to take charge of any class, or be placed in any responsible situation until he has been examined as to his competency, and pronounced sufficiently acquainted with the Madras System to be qualified for such charge, and that none be entitled to receive his Certificate until he has been at least a week in such charge, and conducted himself therein to the satisfaction of the Superintendant. Note. The same rules may be applied mutatis mutandis to the Mistresses in the Training. FORM for leaving a LEGACY to the SOCIETY.
