For Ordinary Pass .
Improved reading, and recitation of not less than seventy-five lines of poetry.
N.B.—The passages for recitation may be taken from one or more standard authors, previously approved by the Inspector. Meaning and allusions to be known, and, if well known, to atone for deficiencies of memory.
For Special Grant (Art. 19, C. 1).
Parsing, with analysis of a simple sentence.
For Ordinary Pass .
Reading, with expression, a short passage of prose or of poetry, with explanation, grammar, and elementary analysis of simple sentences.
Specific Subject—English literature and language, 2nd year. ( Art. 21 and Schedule IV., Scotch Code. )
Three hundred lines of poetry, not before brought up, repeated; with knowledge of meaning and allusions, and of the derivations of words.
This seems a fitting place in which to explain the general aim of this series of Reading Books. Primarily, it is intended to provide a systematic course for use in schools which are under State inspection; and, with this view, each Book in the series, after the Primer, is drawn up so as to meet the requirements, as set forth in the English and Scotch codes issued by the Committees of Council on Education, of the Standard to which it corresponds.
