10. Girls must not alone know, but be able to teach others also, how to cut out and make up plain articles of female wearing apparel. The Male Monitors will be examined, at the end of the fourth year, in the Agricultural Class-Book sanctioned by the Board. 3.-NOTICE TO MANAGERS OF NATIONAL SCHOOLS. The Managers of National Schools are particularly requested to attend to the following Instructions respecting the payment of Salaries to Teachers, as the Commissioners for Auditing the Public Accounts will not, in future, allow any documents to pass as Vouchers from this Office, which are not in compliance with these Rules: 1. Every receipt should be signed by the Manager and by the Teacher entitled to receive the amount of Salary therein specified. 2. Whenever a Manager pays money in advance to a Teacher, he should always take a receipt for the same on a stamp, if the amount be £5 or upwards, distinguishing the portion granted by the Commissioners of National Education from that which is due from other sources, in order to have a proper Voucher to produce to this office in case the Teacher die or leave the School before the expiration of the regular half year. 3. If a Teacher die leaving a balance of Salary due to him or her, the amount must be paid to the representatives or next of kin of such Teacher, and the receipt of these parties must be taken when payment is made. If such party cannot write, his or her mark will be received as signature when witnessed by a third person. 4. If a Teacher leave a National School, and authorize the Manager or some other person to receive the Salary due from this Board, such authority must be given in writing, or the amount will not be paid. A Manager can always protect himself by attending to Rule No. 2. 5. In cases where it may be necessary for a Manager to retain the receipt given by a Teacher for money advanced, a duplicate receipt should be taken to send to this office; and if a duplicate cannot be obtained, the original receipt must be sent to this office, where a copy of it will be made for the Audit Office in London. The receipt will then be returned to the Manager. No receipt will be taken as a Voucher by us, unless the amount advanced be written in words. 6. As the Commissioners of Audit do not consider a Certificate coming from the person who makes a payment a proper Document upon which to allow such payment, no Manager's certificate can in future be taken as a Voucher. 7. If receipts which are sent from this Office for Signature, be not returned within a month (unless a satisfactory reason be given for delay), the amount of Salary to which they refer will be Cancelled, and remain over until the next half yearly payment becomes due. This rule will in future be strictly adhered to, in consequence of the inconvenience arising from such delays. 8. The Commissioners of National Education do not pay Salary for a broken period of a month, and Managers should be careful not to allow Teachers to leave their Schools except at the beginning or end of a month. 4.-SCALE OF PREMIUMS to the Masters and Mistresses of National Schools who are most distinguished by the Order, Neatness, and Cleanliness observable in themselves, their Pupils, and in the School-houses. Το come into operation from 1st January, 1849. The sum of £14 10s. to be allocated to each of the School Districts, to be divided into Nine Premiums- One of £3 Two of £2 Three of £1 10s. each. Three of £1 each £300 These premiums are to be awarded annually on the recommendation of the District Inspector, and paid at the end of the year. No distinction to be made between Vested and Non-vested Schools. cession. These premiums will be awarded without reference to the Class in which the Teachers may be ranked; but none will be deemed eligible to receive such premiums against whom there may be any well-founded charge of neglect in the performance of their duties, of impropriety in their conduct, or whose Schools are not conducted in a satisfactory manner. 5.-SCALE OF GRATUITIES to Masters and Mistresses of Workhouse Schools in connexion with the Board of National Education. The Commissioners of National Education have resolved, with the concurrence of the Poor Law Commissioners, to award annual gratuities to a certain number (Twenty Males and Twenty Females) of the Teachers of the Workhouse Schools, in connexion with the National Board, who shall be recommended by the District Inspectors. The gratuities are divided into two classes : The payment will be made Half-yearly, with the usual issue of Salary to Teachers of National Schools, after the 31st March, and 30th September in each Year. It is to be distinctly understood that such gratuities are given in addition to the Salaries paid to the Teachers of Workhouse Schools under the provision of the Poor Law Act. No Teacher is precluded from receiving the gratuity two or more years in succession, if recommended by the District Inspector as deserving of it; but a Teacher having once received it, is not thereby entitled to a continuance of it.
