STIPENDIARY MONITORS.

The inspectors may, for some time, find in the rural
districts schools in which all the general conditions re-
quired for the apprenticeship of a pupil teacher may be
satisfied, but the master or mistress of which may be
unable to conduct an apprentice even through the fore-
going course of instruction. Their Lordships being de-
sirous so to adapt their regulations to the condition of
such schools, as by their improvement to enable them
hereafter to provide for the training of pupil-teachers,
are disposed, for a few years, to encourage the mana-
gers to retain their monitors, by small stipends, to the
age of 17, without apprenticeship, but under a form of
agreement with the parents, on condition that the master
give each monitor extra daily instruction.

preliminary conditions previously enumerated will be
required, and the following qualifications for candidates
for such stipends:—
