Botany.--At the examination for second and third class teachers fifty per cent. of the paper will be practical. Attention is called to the fact that the new Manitoba edition of Spotton's Botany is now the authorized text book for Manitoba. The first part of this book substitutes Manitoba plants for a number of those in the old edition not found in this Province. The second part of the Manitoba edition, called "Wild Plants of Canada," is now perfectly adapted for practical work in Manitoba, having a full list of Manitoba wild flowers, as well as a list of the scientific names and orders of garden and hot-house plants. The examination will be conducted on the Manitoba edition. The attention of inspectors and teachers is called to the requirements of the Department as to submitting botanical note-books for inspection, and also as to the formation of a Herbarium in every Collegiate and Intermediate school. Agriculture. At the examination for second and third class teachers forty per cent. of the paper will be practical. The attention of teachers is called to the necessity of familiarizing the candidates with the forty prescribed experiments before other experiments are undertaken. Inasmuch as the teaching of agriculture in the public schools generally is necessarily confined to the chemical and physical apparatus provided by the Department, teachers preparing candidates for the examination are reminded of the importance of having the candidates instructed in the use of the apparatus provided by the Department, on which the examination will be conducted. Candidates for entrance to the Collegiate Schools, in addition to the other work in agriculture, will be examined in the prescribed experiments. PERSONS ELIGIBLE WITHOUT EXAMINATION. 1.
