The delay this year in the announcement of senior free place' awards was explained by the Director of Education, Mr. T. B. Strong, to-day. It has been due to the exceptionally large number of candidates compelled to sit for the examination. In previous years the practice has been to .decide senior free place awards on the recommendation of principals of schools, but last year it was decided to require all candidates to sit for the qualifying examination set by - the department. No fewer than 9485 candidates entered, of whom 8418 actually sat. In 1931 there were only 1165 candidates. The department’s examination branch has been working night and day, .Sundays included, to ensure that the results will be available before the schools are opened, as district high schools, open earlier than secondary and tecnnical schools.. Advance lists were posted to the principals of these schools before they were actually available for publication. The usual practice has been for the department to have lists printed at the Government Printing Office and for the Press Association to receive copies of the lists before they were published in the Gazette. This year, in order.to save time, the department furnished the Press Association with typed lists but it appeared that the Press Association was unable to deal with the publication of the lists in that form. It therefore, became necessary for. the department to prepare Jong alphabetical lists, of over 6000' names to be printed at the Government. Printing

Office and thereafter to be. available for use of the Press Association.

It is anticipated that the Press will have lists in a day or two, before the post-primary schools open on Tuesday. The department regrets the delay in notifying results but this is entirely due to the causes stated. ' •<
