10. There will be a Board of Education, over which the Chaplain will preside. It will be the authority to consider all questions connected with the education of inmates, and will decide, as the result of examination, into which Grade each inmate shall be placed on reception. 11. The education of inmates will be classified as follows:-- (1) Elementary.--Such inmates as are found on reception not to have profited sufficiently by the teaching received in Public Elementary Schools to pass out of Grade III of the National Code. (2) Progressive.--Those who can pass out of that Stage, and are fit subjects for higher Grades. (3) Technical.--Inmates who are being prepared for commercial or other special pursuit. (1) Elementary Education.--The standard aimed at may be broadly defined as follows, _viz_.:--"the ability to write a letter such as is needed by a woman applying for employment, and such arithmetic as a woman needs for the ordinary purpose of daily life, including checking her wages." Such a Standard is practically represented by Grade III of the National Code, _viz_.:-- WRITING:-- Simple Spelling rules. simple Composition. Reconstruction of easy stories. Easy letter writing. Dictation. ARITHMETIC:-- 4 simple rules. 4 compound rules (money & easy weights & measures). Introduction to decimal system. Simple fractions. All inmates not qualified to pass from that Grade shall receive Education during the first three months of their sentence, at such times and in such classes as the Board of Education, created by Instruction 10, shall decide; and such period may be extended in any special case where the Board is of opinion that it would be to the advantage of an inmate that this should be done. Where an inmate obviously fails to profit by instruction, and there may be reason to think that this may be due to physical or mental causes, she will be specially examined by the Medical Officer, and such steps will be taken on his report as may be deemed suitable to meet the special circumstances of the case. (2) The Progressive Class will consist of all those inmates who have passed through a period of Elementary instruction. Arrangements will be made by the Board of Education for such inmates to attend Evening School at such times, and for such objects as they may decide. (3) Technical Classes.--These will be limited to those inmates who have been specially selected for a career in which a knowledge of special subjects is called for. 12. In addition to the times set apart for these respective Classes, there will be a Silent Hour for private study, for which a period of absolute silence for one hour daily will be introduced throughout the Institution, during which time all inmates will be engaged in the study of educational or trade matter. It is considered that organized private study is the most satisfactory way of securing that inmates shall not be locked in their rooms until late in the evening.
