taught in prescribed course for an hour or two
a day and the rest OF the time TO serve as assist

he remains three years, supported by the institu-

are satisfactory, he receives " certificate Of
merit" by which authority he Is allowed to teach.
From that time he isallowed salary by government,

they receive for teaching and, when worn out, they
are allowed retiring salary. This feature is much
