Twenty-one candidates availed themselves of the opportunity afforded to pupil-teachers to take up one branch of drawing in each year of their course, and 19 of them satisfied the examiner. For the Senior Civil Service 75 candidates entered, 16 of them to complete examination partially passed in a previous year, and four for shorthand only. There were 303 candidates for the Junior Civil Service examination. The results were published in the Gazette of 22nd February. The passes in the Senior examination were 24, besides two in shorthand. The Junior list contained 146 names. I enclose copies of the examination papers. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wm. Jas. Habens.
