GENERAL RULES. ' With reference to the Resolution of the Special Committee, passed at their Meeting on May 27th, 1872, which contained a request that the Missionaries at the Grand River should meet and form a Board under the pref^idency of Canon Nelles, for the consideration of all matters relating to the Mohawk Institution, the Manual Labour School, and the Day Schools on the Reserve ; and also to their sub- sequent determmation to appoint from England a Superintendent of the Mohawk Institution, the Manual Labour School, and the Farm connected Avith it, the Special Committee have made the following General Rules to regulate the action of the Board and Superintendent. THE BOARD OF MISSIONARIES. The Special Committee desire that it be understood that the Mo- hawk Institution with the Farm and Manual Labour School, ia placed under the management of the Superintendent, who wiU re- ceive orders and instructions from the Special Committee, through the Clerk of the Company. 2 The Board are requested to visit the Institution at least every three months, and to embody their observations upon the condition of the Institution in a Minute, signed by the members present, and to send the same at once to the Special Committee, after making a copy of it in a booh to be kept for the pxu-pose. THE DAY SCHOOLS ON THE RESERVE. Wliile the individual Missionaries in their several districts have the chief management of the Day Schools, Avithin their respective districts, they will visit and inspect each school on the Reserve, as a Board, at least twice in every year. The Board of Missionaries is requested to report half-yearly to the Special Committee its observations upon the management and condition of each school. The Board of Missionaries will examine the children, and select those whose parents desire a nomination to the Mohawk Institution, according to the result of such examination, especially in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and as to moral character.
