There will be three grades :-?-■ 1, Junior, up to 12 years of age; 2, Intermediate, from 12 to 14 years; 3, Senior, over 14 years. Two separate papers will be given for each grade, one on the Biblical lessons, and the other on the Catechism. The Intermediate Grade will be examined on the Senior Grade lessons, but different examination papers will be set for each. The Junior pupils will be specially examined 011 lessons : 1, 4, 5, 17, 23, and 24 (Church Seasons), and 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 (Catechism).
