3130successful in obtaining scholarships shall have already followed asufficiently wide programme to enable them to benefit immediatelyfrom the Secondary School course, which covers a greater range ofsubjects than those contained in the compulsory portion of theexamination in question, and, in the circumstances, the Departmenthas not found it possible to make any further alteration in this respectin the programme of, and conditions for a pass, at the examination forthe award of scholarships.Details regarding the examination of 1936 and the scholarshipsawarded for each County are given at page 185.Whilst the number of candidates sitting for the examination showedan increase from 1,590 in 1935 to 1,684 in 1936, it will be observedthat, were it not for the numbers presented in the two Counties inwhich schemes were not in operation in the previous year, therewould have been a small decrease, a fact, however, which is not consideredto be of any special significance. The new pass conditionsbore early fruit-whereas in 1935 only 496 candidates qualified at theexamination, the number in 1936 rose to 810. Even though the newregulations allowed a candidate to pass without presenting anyoptional subject, it is gratifying to record that the great majority ofthose attending, and an even greater majority of those who fulfilledthe conditions in regard to the obligatory subjects, took two additionalsubjects and answered satisfactorily in them.336 scholarships in all were awarded in 1936, as compared with 290in 1935, but although the increase was to be expected by the additionof Counties Kildare and Wicklow to the counties operating schemes,it will be noted that, in nine cases, the County authorities awarded alarger number of scholarships than in the previous year, whilst inonly three areas was a lesser number awarded. Some improvement isto be recorded in the case of the special scheme of scholarships inDomestic Economy and in Agriculture which the Mayo County Councilconducts, inasmuch as it was found possible to award the full numberof scholarships offered in each case, but, nevertheless, it is a matter forsurprise that these special schemes fail to attract the degree of competitionwhich would have been anticipated.The examination of the answer-books of the candidates was for thethird year undertaken by extern examiners, working under the supervisionof the Department's Inspectors, and the arrangement continuedto prove satisfactory.It is a regrettable feature that, arising out of the question of theeligibility of candidates from certain classes of schools, two Councilshave decided not to formulate schemes for 1937. The Departmenthas consistently encouraged in the framing of the schemes the introductionof a clause reserving a number of scholarships for the pupilsof the smaller schools, and it is difficult to see how the adoption ofsuch a reservation would fail to meet, in practice, the objections of thecouncils concerned to accept the definition of eligibility of candidatesspecified in the Act governing the award of scholarships. It is hopedthat, for future years, these Councils will find it feasible to reviewtheir decision and again make it possible for the deserving childrenof their areas to benefit from the operation of a scheme.x.sc,6,n> nA SAeut\;se mAn 5n,6,t;-t;eAnSA tAuAnt:A SAnnSAeueAtcACC ASUS SAn mbneAc-5AeueAtcACC.'Oeont;AS £2.tnoo 50 l'>rult ceisc Altl'>eoCAnA nA 5Ae'Olt5e os c6ti1Aln An ,?Ob A l\.te nners lS 'OACA'ObUA'OAn A5US lAnnACC m6n 'Oe.6nCA cun An ceAnSA'00 cun SAn A1C i s 'OUAt '01 SA Cln m",n teA n 5 A tAl'>AntA nA n'OAolne,CAltreAnA A'OmAlt n&n CUA1'ObnrS An scelt sm 1 1)r el 'Om puinn tet.mn nA l1-AlmS ln esm An mUlnnCln nA 5Ae'OeAtcACCA. 1s AmtAl'O Al'>lAn ceAn5AAS 'Out cun 'Oelltl'O 1 n'OlAl'O A celtemArt snAt-URtAl'>RA msnA uomACA1SCl sm A5US An beARtA AS ceACC "A 11-A1C.bA tem, 'OA teAnrA'O An SceAt AI11t.61'OSA n5 Ae 'OeAtcACC, 50 mbeA'OCObAR nA 1'1OR-bAe'Olt5e lmtlste 1 -rotsc 1 5 ClOnn AlmS 1Re US, A5 '00bRAlte A'O nAR l'>'':OtA1R C6RAS '00 CeA'PA'Ocun An 'OlSC svn '00 COSC,A5USAR An A'Ol'>ARSA11,'00 CeA'P A11c-,Ome Ql'OeACA1SAn Scem1 seo, An'Oeo11cAS £2, 'O',:o11n A CUR nA tUlse An mumncm nA bAe'OeAtcACCA:SUR r'U'O61l'>e A5 US5UR b'e A teAS e An ceAnSA 5 Ae 'OltS e A l'>1mAR01SReACCACU 6 'OtltCAS '00 C01meA'O, ASUS SAn A mAtA1RC '00 tAl'>AlnCt.e n'" sct 0111n. sceim 'seA'O 1 cun £2 '00 tAl'>AlnC '00 tUlsm15teOlnl(A5t1ScAomn61nl) SA n5Ae'OeAtcACC A5US SA mbneAC- bAe'OeAtcACC ARson 5AC'PAlsce t.eo l'Dln 6 ASUS 14 btlA'OnA 'O'A01S, ACA AS rneASCAtSCOlte SA n5 'OeAtcACC no sa. mbneAC-bAe'OeAtcACC AC An R01nn '00Ael'>elt SASCA5 1 An bAe'Olt5 A tAl'>AnCARmAn snAt-teAnS A 1 'OC 1 te5unAbf1A b'PA1SCl A5 uS1 1)elt 50 'PMS tiOri1tA 'OA neln AS nA 'PA1SC1,ASUSrneASCAt veltceAri1Alt A5 US 'Out cun cinn SASAri1Alt A 1)elt 'OeAnCA ACUAn SCOlt 1 nlt nA sC01t-1JUA'OnA. 1 n-A5Al'O nA scolt-l'>UA'OnA-IA'O1ut 50 30A'C) melteAri1 seA'O A 'OlotcAn en 'Oeo11cAS.'on Scolt-l'>tlA'OAm 1933-34 An ce.6'O1)tlA'OAln SUR CUlne A 'O An sceim1 1)V el'Om, A5 USrs AtAS i.eis An 11.01nn5un r e1 'Om A R&'O 50 1)r ult enSCelt11 seo A5 'OeAn",m A ciont.e l1-elreACC cun An CUS'P 61R SUR ceA'PA'OcU15e 1 '00 tAl'>A1RCcun cnlce, se S111,An bAe'Olt5 '00 COlmeA'O mARsnAt-teAn5A An -pobAlt ins n o, tlomACA1SCl 'nA 1)r Ult s1 ACU 50 1'611.1.,A5 uS1 '0' Alt1)eoCAlncA5uS 1 neAnt:u5A'O mAlt t eAn 5 A 1 SA05 At nA n'OAOlnems ne l1-J.H:eA1111A 'nA nAll'> An bAe'Olt5 AS 'Out AR ceAt.'Oel11e"''O An CRlori1A'O 10CA1'Oe.6CC'Oe'11 'OeonCAS AS ucc nA scoit-;\)\.l"''On'" 'OAR CR10C 30A'O melteAri1 1936. t;Alsbe.l.nAnn nA V1S1U1Rlso
