We require surveyors, geometers, and architects who are occupied in dividing land and other property, and whose duty it is to take measurements, and establish boundaries, as well as those whose business it is to conduct or remove water, to likewise employ their spare time for the purpose of teaching others, and extending their own knowledge. Hence they shall enjoy immunity from civil services and must take a certain number of pupils for the purpose of giving them instruction.
