Table II.—Candidates for Full Examination.

Of the 741 candidates there were but 59 who have not been teachers, pupil-teachers, or normalschool students in New Zealand; and of the 59, only 14 were candidates for Class D. Of the 481 candidates for Class B, 388 were at the time teachers, pupil-teachers, or students; and 48 others had been similarly employed. Among the 99 candidates who failed at the examination for Class E are 34 who had failed on previous occasions, 20 of them having failed once before, 6 twice, 4 three times, 1 five times, 1 six times, and 2 eight times. Table M, on page vii. of this year's main report of the department, shows that of 1,924 teachers (above the rank of pupil-teacher) in the service of the Boards at the end of last year, 1,541 at that time either held certificates or had passed an examination for certificate, and 137 had obtained "partial pass," while 85 were candidates who had failed at former examinations, and 161 had not been examined. When the results of this year's examination are applied it is found that of the same 1,924 teachers 1,604 have passed, 113 have obtained "partial pass," 78 have failed, and 129 have not been examined. The table (M) has been revised so as to include the results of the examination, and in its revised form appears as follows:—
