VII. The examinations will be held early in December at the competing
Schools on the same day.
VIII. The following rules should be carefully observed: a breach thereof will
disqualify the School concerned :-
(a.) Competitors may not write their names nor the name of their
School on their papers.
(b.) On completion of the time prescribed, the Headmaster will collect the papers and write "A" and "B" at the head of the papers done by Standard IV and Standard V respectively, and also head each paper with a distinguishing motto.
(c.) The papers shall then be sent to the Inspector in a sealed envelope
without a covering letter or comments of any kind.
d.) After having examined the papers and selected the winning team, the Inspector will ask the competing Schools to inform him as to their mottoes. Thus he will not himself know the name of the successful School until the correction of the papers has been completed.
(e.) Finally the Headmaster of the winning team will be required to give a written assurance that the work was done within the prescribed time, and that all precautions were taken to prevent unfairness. IX. All schools under the Inspectorate will be expected to take the papers, but those only will be eligible to compete for the Shield and prizes, as well as for the prizes offered in the former Circular, who shall have notified their intention of doing so to the Inspector on or before. November 1st.

CIRCULAR.

Referring to my former Circular, it has been pointed out that under the present rules boys in Standard III have no chance of competing. With the consent of His Excellency the Governor, Rule II of my Circular of 7th October is amended to read as follows :-
"II.-Each team must consist of 10 scholars, of whom not more than 5 shall be from Standard V, and the rest from Standards IV or III, or from both. Where &c.'
Rule IV will in consequence also be amended, and will now read:--
"IV.—One prize of $15 will be given for the best paper in the winning team, and one prize of $10 for the best paper done by a boy in
Standards III or IV in the winning team."
