Acadian teachers if certified by a clergyman to be capable of teaching in the French language and of read¬ ing and writing English should receive £10, if the school had a suitable building and an attendance of twenty scholars. This act made provision for the appoint¬ ment of a School Visitor for each county, who should visit each school twice each year, advise with the teacher and determine the system and course of instruction to be prac¬ ticed in the schools. In the absence of a Normal School and a course of training for teachers, the need of careful inspection of the schools was apparent.

The vacations were to be by mutual agreement between the teacher and the trustees; otherwise, to be three in number, each of a week's duration, beginning severally on the first Monday in June, the second Monday in October and the 27th of December.
