(Give name of candidate in full).... ... ....for the .last past; that during all such time his life and conduct have been without reproach; and I affirm that I believe him to be an upright, conscientious and strictly sober man. This certificate must be signed by the minister of the congregation to which the candidate belongs, and by two school commissioners, school trustees or school visitors. As unexpected difficulties and delays occur in the preparation of these certificates of age and moral character, intending candidates will do well to get these certificates at once, in order that they may be in a position to make application at the appointed time. (3) A fee of two dollars for elementary and model school diplomas, and three dollars for academy diplomas, is to be enclosed with the form of application. Those who failed last year to receive any diploma are exempt from fees this year, but must send the usual application and certificate of character. Those who received a third class elementary diploma are not exempt. Upon receipt of the application with certificates and fees, the Secretary will nail a card of admission to the examination to each candidate. This card must be presented to the deputy examiner on the day of examination. Each card is numbered, and at the examination candidates will put their numbers on their papers, instead of their names. A new card must be obtained each year by candidates. In the examination for elementary diplomas, algebra, geometry and French are not compulsory; but, in order to be eligible for a first-class diplomas, candidates mut pass in these subjects. Those candidates who received third-class diplomas last year with the right to receive second-class diplomas after re-examination in one or two subjects, must give notice in the usual way if they intend to present themselves for re-examination. Such candidates are requested to notice that their re-examination must be taken on the day and hour fixed for their subjects in the general scheme of the examination. Any candidate who wishes exemptions on account of his actual or prospective standing in the A. A. examinations should, if possible, give at the end of his application the number under which he wrote. If exemptions are not asked for they cannot be given. A certified list of exemptions will be sent to each deputy examiner, and if the results of the A. A. examinations are received in time, to each candidate who is entitled to exemptions. See regulation 41 in the new edition of the Manual of School Law. Send fees by post office order if possible. When several candidates can conveniently do so, they should send their fees in one order, and the applications, &c., in one envelope, for the sake of safety and economy.

The Corporation of McGill University is associated with the Superintendent of Public Instruction in the direction of the McGill Normal School under the regulations of the Protestant Committee. The Normal School is intended to give a thorough training to Protestant teachers. The complete course extends over a period of four annual sessions, an Elementary School Diploma being obtained at the close of the first session, a Model School Diploma at the close the second, and an Academy Diploma at the close of the fourth. All these Diplomas are valid as authorizations to teach in any part of the Province of Quebec, without limitation of time. None are admitted to the School but those who agree to devote themselves to teaching in the Province of Quebec for at least three years. To such persons, however, the advantages of the School are free of charge, and the sum of $1,200 is annually distributed in bursaries to aid in the payment of the board of the forty most successful pupils that do not reside at home during the School session. A small allowance for travelling expenses is made to those who reside more than ninety miles from Montreal. All candidates who present certificates of having passed in Grade III. Model School Course, and all holders of Elementary School Diplomas, are exempt from examination for admission to the Elementary School Class. All candidates who have passed at the A.A. examinations, taking two-thirds of the aggregate marks, and who have passed in French, and all holders of Model School Diplomas, are exempt from examination for admission to the Model School Class. Holders of Elementary School Diplomas, desiring admission to the Model School Class, are examined in Algebra, Geometry and French only. The conditions of admission in other cases may be learned by consulting the prospectus of the School. The next session of the School opens in September, 1896. Names of candidates will be enrolled on the 1st day of the month, examinations will be held on the 2nd, successful candidates will be received and lectures will commence on the 3rd. Forms of application and copies of the Prospectus of the School may be obtained by application to the Principal, Dr. Robins.
