1888. NEW ZEALAND.
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency
Office of the Department of Education, Sib,— Wellington, sth May, 1888. I have the honour, in accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," to submit to your Excellency the following report upon the progress and condition of public education in New Zealand during the year ending the 31st day of December, 1887. I have, &c, G-EOEGE FISHEE. His Excellency Sir William F. Drummond Jervois, G.C.M.G., &c, Governor of New Zealand.
REPORT. This report contains information not only with respect to the administration of the Education Act and the Education Beserves Act, but also with respect to Native schools, the deaf-mute institution, the industrial schools, the University of New Zealand, the University colleges, and the secondary schools. Separate papers (E.-2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) will supply further details with respect to all these institutions, and there are also special papers containing the InspectorGeneral's report on the annual examination of candidates for teachers' certificates (E.-la), and the several reports made by the Inspectors of Schools to the Education Boards (E.-1b). The Appendix to this report contains the reports of the Education Boards and of the Commissioners of Eeserves, and some statistics that could not be included in the text. Public Schools. The most important change that has been made in the system of public instruction since its institution is the abolition of the rule of granting the capitation allowance according to what has been known as the " working average." This change was announced at the end of 1887, but did not take effect till the beginning of 1888. The meaning of the term " working average " was defined by the revoked Order in Council in the following words :— The school shall be held to be open any morning or afternoon if one child be present before the first half-hour of the ordinary school time has passed. The average daily attendance for any period shall be ascertained by dividing the total number of attendances for the period by the number of half-days on which the school has been open during the period. The average daily I—E. 1.

attendance so ascertained shall be known as the strict average. But, in order that the capitation allowance may not be unduly affected by bad weather, epidemics, or any unusual occurrence, a second computation shall be made by throwing out of account every morning and every afternoon on which the attendances have numbered less than one-half of the number of pupils belonging to the school, and by throwing out of account the attendances also of every such morning and every such afternoon; and the capitation payments to Boards under " The Education Act, 1877," shall be made according to the average daily attendance as ascertained by this second computation, which average daily attendance shall be known as the working average. The daily attendance for the year, estimated according to the " working average," is 87,937, and for the fourth quarter 89,589. The corresponding numbers for 1886 were 83,405 and 85,343, the respective increases for the year being therefore 4,532 and 4,246. The estimates for the year were based upon the expectation of a" working average " of 87,500, which has been exceeded by 437. There were 110,919 pupils on the rolls at the end of the year, or more by 4,591 than at the end of 1886. The mean (111,115) of the four quarterly averages of the weekly-roll numbers is greater by 196 than the roll number at the end of the year. The total of the numbers on the rolls of the several schools on the several days of inspection was 107,911, which is less by 2,992 than the roll numnumber at the end of the year, and greater by 1,583 than the roll number in December, 1886. The strict average for the whole year is 85,637 (less than the " working average" by 2,300). and for the fourth quarter 87,386 (less than the " working average "by 2,203). The increase for the year in the strict average is 4,900, and for'the fourth quarter 4,025. The saving for the present year (1888) by the substitution of the strict average for the working average may be estimated at about £9,000 —on 2,400 pupils at the capitation rate of £3 15s. prescribed by the Education Act. A further saving is effected by the abolition of the additional capitation allowance of ss. formerly granted for incidental expenses. During part of last year (from May onwards) a capitation allowance of 4s. only was paid, and in December the allowance ceased altogether. But, as compared with expenditure on this head at the rate current at the beginning of 1887, the present rate is less by ss. Assuming that the strict average will be 88,500, and considering that if the " working average" were still recognised this number would be increased to probably 91,000, the saving at ss. each is ,£22,750. Taking into account these two sums, and £8,000 saved by the withdrawal of the grant for the training of teachers, the present annual reduction amounts to £39,750. The varying rates of increase of attendance since the Colonial Government assumed the control of public instruction can be ascertained from Table A.

TABLE B.—School Attendance* for 1887.
As usual, this table shows a very remarkable number of additions and withdrawals of pupils in comparison with the whole number on the rolls. The true explanation doubtless is that a child moving from one school to another in the course of a year, or being absent long enough to have his name taken off the roll and then returning, counts for two in the enumeration. As the roll number was 106,328 in December, 1886, and there were 50,107 apparent additions to the roll in 1887, and only 110,919 names at the end of 1887, the apparent number of pupils leaving during the year is 45,516. The increase for the- year is the difference between 50,107 entries and 45,516 withdrawals. It is quite certain that there were not 50,107 new pupils during the year ; if there had been so many, the number of individual scholars during the year would have been 156,445, while there were in the whole country at the end of December not more than 158,000 Europeans between the ages of 5 and 15, and about 17,000 of these were attending private and secondary and Native schools. It is not possible to ascertain precisely how many new pupils entered, and how many old scholars finally left, but it is possible to fix minimum numbers for both. Since during the year 12,209 passed the Second Standard, and were promoted to the class preparing for the Third Standard, and yet the number below Standard 11. was increased by 598, there must have been a genuine addition of 12,807 to the

roll. And since while 12,209 were promoted from the Second Standard class, the number above Standard 11. was only increased by 3,993, there must have been cases of final leaving to the number of 8,216. The actual increase of 4,591 may be merely the difference between 12,807 entries and 8,216 withdrawals. It is probable that this view of the case is not far from the truth. It may be assumed that the mean age of entrance is between six and seven. The census tables show that between six and seven there are only about 17,000 European children in New Zealand, and more than 10 per cent, of the school population is in attendance at private or at secondary schools. It is impossible, therefore, that for a period of long continuance there can be more than about 15,000 new pupils added every year to the school roll. It is of course possible that the number may occasionally, or for a time, be greater on account of the opening of a considerable number of new schools into which some new pupils enter above the normal age. Of 8,216 whose leaving is ascertained by the process here indicated, 1,791 had passed Standard YL, 1,147 others had passed Standard V., 2,012 had passed Standard IV., and 1,827 had only passed Standard 111., while 1,440 of them were in the class preparing for Standard 111. It should be borne in mind that some of these children, though they have left the public school, have not left school, but have been transferred to secondary schools. So far as the numbers here stated can be taken as an indication of the habits of the people it would seem that of 100 children leaving the primary school about 22 have passed Standard VI., 14 were preparing for Standard VI., 24 or 25 for Standard V., 22 for Standard IV., and 17 or 18 for Standard 111. These numbers may not quite fairly represent the state of the case, because those who remained to the end of the public-school course entered some years earlier than those who left in the middle of the course, and the number of young children entering annually is probably increasing from year to year. If the statistics of former years were minute enough to furnish the necessary details, it would probably appear that the 22 per cent, who left after passing Standard VI. were more than 22 per cent, of the number of pupils that entered when they did, and that the 17J per cent, who left before passing Standard 111. were considerably less than 17| per cent, of the contingent of their year. There has been an improvement in regularity of attendance, the average being 79"1 per cent, of the school roll, or o's in excess of the corresponding number for last year, and still more largely in excess of the average for any former year. Otago maintains in this respect its conspicuous pre-eminence. As the " strict average " will be the basis of computation in future years it may be well to say that for 1887 the strict average attendance is 77 per cent, of the mean roll number for the year. The proportion of boys and girls remains unchanged from year to year (51-8 to 48-2). The number of children under seven years of age continues to decline absolutely, and not merely in proportion to the school roll; from 21,370 in 1885 it fell to 21,024 in 1886, and to 19,973 in 1887. The number between seven and ten years shows also a slight but steady decline. In all the age-periods above ten there is a relative as well as an absolute increase of numbers. The following is an abstract of the returns of age and sex, which will be found at greater length in Table No. 1 of the Appendix (p. 1): —

The classification according to standards is given in detail at page 2 of the Appendix, and more briefly in Table D.
TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1887.
The proportion of pupils above the Third Standard has risen during the year from 238 per cent, to nearly 25-9. The difference is represented by a decline in the proportion in every one of the lower classes, but chiefly in the preparatory and First Standard classes, which have fallen from 451 per cent, to 43*4 per cent. The preparatory class, however, has still a somewhat larger proportion of the pupils now (26-8 per cent.) than it had in 1879 (when it stood at 25*3 per cent.). The average ages at which the several standards are passed vary very little from year to year. Considering how large a number of children enter between the ages of five and seven, it is strange that the average age on passing the First Standard is so high as eight years and eleven months. The average ages for the several districts are shown in the following table : —
TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations.
The annual inspection report on each school includes a statement of the number of children on the roll of the school on the day of the inspection. The total of the numbers so stated for 1887 is 107,912. Of this number, 39,473 (36*6 per cent.) were not ready for the First Standard examination, and 658 (O6 per cent.) had already passed the Sixth. The number promoted by passingstandards was 48,447 (42-5 per cent.); the number of failures, 12,687 (12-9 per cent.); the number excepted (that is, not passing, but also excused for not passing on account of insufficient attendance), 3,497 (3-2 per cent.); and the number of absentees (among those prepared for passing), 3,150 (2-9 per cent, of the school roll).

The following table contains information with respect to passes and failures arranged according to districts; the mean number of marks assigned to the schools of each district for class subjects, and the mean number for additional subjects are also stated in it:—
TABLE F.—Inspection Statistics.
The information contained in Table F with respect to passes and failures is given in fuller detail in Table G.
TABLE G.—Passes and Failures.
The passes in the Standards from I. to VI. respectively, if reckoned as percentages of the whole roll number, are about 12"1, 11-3, 9-4, 6-6, 3-6, and I*9. The failures, if reckoned as percentages of the passes and failures taken together in each class, are about 9 per cent, of the candidates for Standard 1., 15 per cent, for Standard 11., 27 per cent, each for Standards 111. and IV., 33 per cent, for Standard V., and 24 per cent, for Standard VI. It appears, therefore, that more difficulty is experienced in preparing pupils for the fifth than for any other standard.

The next table (H) is not of any great value, seeing that the table (D) of classification according to standards expresses nearly all the same facts in a more convenient form. It is interesting, however, to notice that music, which cannot be made compulsory in all cases, is very widely taught, and that a very large proportional number of girls are learning needlework. The prominence now given to drawing also appears in the table.
TABLE H.—Number of Pupils instructed in each Subject.
The number of schools continues to increase almost in proportion to the number of pupils. At the end of 1886 there were 1,054 schools, with a mean average attendance of 81; and in December, 1887, there were 1,093 schools, with a mean average attendance of 82. In this enumeration two half-time schools taught by one master are counted as one school; otherwise the number of schools would be stated at 1,123. The mean average attendance corrected for the difference between strict average and working average is 80, with which the corresponding number for future years will have to be compared. The following table exhibits the characteristic differences of the districts with respect to the average size of a school.
TABLE J. —Number of Schools, December, 1887. (In this enumeration every couple of half-time schools is reckoned as one school, except in the column for number of such schools.)
It will be seen that Otago —followed closely by Wellington, and North Canterbury, and at no great distance by Hawke's Bay—has the largest proportion

of large schools, while Marlborough represents the other extreme, with Nelson next, and Taranaki not far off. In Marlborough nearly one-half and in Nelson nearly one-third of the schools are in the category of subsidised schools. The number of teachers increases in almost exact proportion to the number of pupils. The proportional increase is greatest in the classes of pupil-teachers (especially male pupil-teachers) and women in sole charge of small schools. Considerable variations in the numbers of principal teachers and heads of schools or of departments are apparent rather than real, and arise from a want of consistency in defining the powers and positions of such teachers. Including 996 pupilteachers and 182 sewing-mistresses, there were 3,045 teachers at work at the end of the year, as shown in the following table :—
TABLE K.—Number of Teachers, December, 1887.
In the next table the salaries are stated, at the rates current in December. TABLE L.—Salaries of Teachers.
About one-third of the whole body of teachers received salaries of between ,£lOO and ,£2OO, and about one-tenth were paid salaries of £200 and upwards, the highest rate being £480. The average salary of all teachers (£293,708 14s. Bd. -f- 3,045) was £96 9s. Id. ; for 1886 it was £96 15s. 9d.

salaries for each unit of average attendance was at the rate of £3 ss. 7d. or £3 7s. 3d., according as the working average or the strict average is taken as the divisor. In the statement of the Boards' actual expenditure for the year the cost of the training institutions and of arrangements for special instruction of teachers and pupils in drawing, music, drill, gymnastics, &c, is included in the total cost of the teaching staff. The expenditure thus stated is £303,648 2s. 2d., which gives £3 9s. Id. for each unit of the working average for the year and £3 10s. lid. for each unit of the strict average. The cost of Boards' administration and inspection for the year was £20,624 16s. 7d., or 4s. lOd. for each unit of strict average attendance; and the incidental expenses of schools amounted to £31,183 9s. 2d., or 7s. 3d. each. Taken together, £3 10s. lid. for teaching, 4s. lOd. for administration and inspection, and 7s. 3d. for incidental expenses, make up the cost for each unit of strict average attendance (for the year) to £4 3s. This rate of expenditure must be reduced by about 9f per cent, to bring it within the compass of the statutorjr allowance of £3 15s. The following table (M) is a summary of the abstracts of receipts and expenditure furnished by the several Education Boards.

It includes also £4,340 10s. 2d. granted from the Consolidated Bevenue • for reinstating buildings destroyed by fire, £398 from the same source granted for purchase of playgrounds, and £762 12s. 7d. granted from Public Works Vote to Education Boards for school buildings in places where there is a considerable Native population. The Public Works Vote for school buildings in 1887 was £40,000, of which sum £4,114 16s. was paid in anticipation, as already stated; £3,464 15s. Bd.—including the £762 12s. 7d. granted to Education Boards —was expended on Native-school buildings contracted for under authority of the Public Works Vote of 1886, but not completed before the beginning of the financial year, April, 1887; £1,063 6s. 4d. was for Native-school "buildings, in anticipation of the vote of 1887; and the remainder, amounting to £31,107, was distributed to Boards in the early part of this year.

As no part of this last distribution was made in 1887 the whole of the money will appear in the Boards' accounts for 1888. It is included, however, in the assets of the Boards at the end of 1887. In the following tables (N and 0) account is taken of all money due to the Boards from the Government, including the sum of £31,107 from the Public Works Vote, as stated in the paragraph last preceding; and of all money received by the Boards from School Commissioners on account of reserves in the last quarter of 1887, and therefore deducted from the payments made by the Department in the first quarter of 1888 : —
TABLE N.—Money Assets (and Deficits), December, 1887.
TABLE O.—Money Liabilities (and Balances), December, 1887.
The peculiar construction of these tables is due to the desire to show the distinction between balances (or deficits) on account of ordinary current expenditure, and balances (or deficits) on account of the special grants made out of Public Works votes for the building of schools. If this distinction be disregarded it will appear that only one Board is without sufficient assets to cover its liabilities. That one Board is the Board of the Grey District, which shows a deficit of £289 12s. 5d., and is in that respect in a worse position —to the extent of £889 2s. sd.—than it was a year ago, when it had a balance of assets over liabilities to the amount of £599 10s. But when the distinction in question is observed it is found that the Grey Board has during the year exceeded its means for ordinary expenditure to the extent of more than £416, and is in debt on its ordinary account to the extent of £589 ; so that in order to get its ordinary account into a solvent condition by the end of the year it must reduce its rate of expenditure on maintenance and administration by over £1,000 a year, while its whole income, at £3 15s. capitation allowance, is only about £4,700. Besides Grey there are three other districts whose ordinary account shows a debtor balance, the liabilities exceeding the assets. In the case of Auckland, the deficit (£27 os. 4d.) is insignificant in comparison with the income; and the

same may be said with respect to the North Canterbury deficit (£747 13s. 2d.), especially when it is considered that this Board receives several thousand pounds in advance every quarter from the School Commissioners. But in the case of Wellington the deficit (£1,536 Bs. 9d.) is a serious matter. Two years ago the deficit was £1,628 18s. 9d.; a year ago it was £1,544 18s. 4d. It is, therefore, slowly declining. But it is evident that strenuous efforts are required to put the finances of this district upon a proper footing, and that meanwhile more than £1,500 out of grants made for buildings is being practically applied year after year to avoid the necessity of a large overdraft on the ordinary account. About three-fourths of the money last distributed to Boards for building purposes is available to them for new works undertaken or to be undertaken this year, but in this respect a great disproportion is noticeable. In the case of Wanganui the grant was not sufficient to cover liabilities incurred, and there is a deficit of £493 lls. 9d. on building account; but the Board has a balance of £2,002 19s. 4d. on its ordinary account. The grant to Hawke's Bay cleared off building liabilities and left a balance of only £95 3s. 9d. for new works; on the ordinary account there is a balance of £961 ss. 3d. At the other extreme of the scale is "Wellington, which has £6,232 19s. Id. available (nearly £2,700 more than the last grant). Marlborough, Westland, South Canterbury, and Southland have also money for building purposes in excess of the last grants made to them. All the other Boards had, to a greater or less extent, incurred liabilities in anticipation of their grants. The sums available for the year to the Boards of the three largest districts (which have charge of about 60 per cent, of the children of all the public schools) is as follows : Auckland, about £3,800 ; North Canterbury, about £4,000 ; Otago, about £2,730. The wants of the several districts with respect to school accommodation are not accurately known to the Department, in the absence of minute information as to the demands in outlying districts for new schools as settlement progresses. It is, however, possible to ascertain from returns made by the Boards the number of existing schools where the floor-space is insufficient. On the whole existing schools have floor-space amounting to 1,270,614 square feet; or, deducting the areas of rented r00m5—34,572s —34,572 square feet —1,236,042 square feet. Allowing 10 square feet for each child —the Otago Board, has lately determined to consider Bft. sufficient —this space, of nearly a million and a quarter square feet, is more than 50 per cent, in excess of the requirements, as estimated by average attendance; but the excess is not evenly distributed. The following list gives the names of the schools that are too full, distinguishing those in which the space is less than Bft. for each unit of working average : —

In the reports of the several Boards (see Appendix) some schools not here named are mentioned as being over-crowded. The inconvenience in such cases may be due to some peculiarity in the plans of the schools, or to some want of relation between the numbers in particular classes and the sizes of the rooms occupied by them: it is not indicated by the returns of area and attendance. The following table (P) is compiled from the returns :—
TABLE P.—Deficiency of School Buildings.
In November a circular was issued requesting the Boards to send in estimates of the value of their school buildings and apparatus, taken as at the end of October. The returns have been received, and they show that the estimated value was £719,269 lls. 9d., being—for schoolhouses, £512,237 55.; for school apparatus, £48,534 2s. 9d.; for residences, £158,198 45.; and for an office and store, £300. The following table (Q) shows for each district the number of schools and residences included in the estimates, the amounts received by Boards for building purposes during eleven years (1877 to 1887, inclusive), and the amounts expended on the same purposes during the same time. As this table is in some respects a continuation of Table No. 4a, contained in the Appendix to the report issued in 1882, three errors which have been discovered in the table of 1882 are here indicated. In column 5, £48,530 is a misprint for £48,350, and in column 1 a deduction of £62 is to be made in the case of North Canterbury, and an addition of £2,590 in the case of Southland. The alterations in column 1 must be repeated in column 4, and the totals of columns 1 and 4 changed accordingly.

Some of the Boards' Secretaries experience great difficulty every year in obtaining information as to the receipts and expenditure of the School Committees. The statistics for 1886 under this head were printed last year in a very incomplete form, and this year they are again far from perfect. The return from the Grey district is a very partial one. The return for Nelson has not yet been received : if it arrives in time it will appear with the rest in Table No. 6 (Appendix p. 6). Seeing that an Order in Council made under the Education Act requires that the Committees' accounts shall be audited every year in the month of January, it ought to be possible to obtain summaries of them before the month of May. The returns already received show that about .£5,700 of the income of Committees was derived from sources independent of Boards, and that they supplemented the salaries of teachers in small schools by contributions amounting to £1,470. The Boards were entitled to receive a capitation allowance of Is. 6d. for establishing and maintaining scholarships. This capitation, if claimed on the whole working average would have amounted to about £6,500. The Boards, however, receive on this account only so much as they actually spend, and the amount spent was £5,518. The number and annual value of Boards' scholarships current at the end of 1887 are stated in the following table : —
TABLE R.—Scholarships.
The reports of the Education Boards are not a mere record of ordinary transactions. The Auckland Board makes a statement of the method by which the expenditure is to be kept within the newly-assigned limits; suggests that the scholarships should be awarded on a uniform plan for the whole colony ; desires that grants for buildings be in future apportioned according to the ascertained wants of the several districts instead of on the basis of population; announces that it is difficult to find sufficient suitable places for young persons who are still nominally pupil-teachers though they have passed the certificate examination; records the success of a night-school established in the City of Auckland ; refers to the good effects following upon the appointment of a truant officer; and reports the closing of the high-school department of the public school at Cambridge. The Westland Board makes a proposal with respect to scholarships that goes beyond the recommendation from Auckland: the suggestion is that the scholarships be made colonial, and awarded without distinction as to locality. The Otago Board states that the supply of trained and certificated teachers is somewhat in excess of the demand, agreeing in this respect with the Auckland Board. The Taranaki Board thinks that the syllabus of school-work should be reduced to adapt it to the special requirements of districts where the schools are necessarily

somewhat weaker than in the largest districts; and expresses a wish for some measure that would enable the smaller districts to offer salaries more nearly equal to those which are given by the more important Boards. The Greymouth Board also asks for an approximate equalisation of salaries, and, in the same strain, the Wanganui Board desires that some difference may be made in the capitation rate to the advantage of country schools as compared with tow m schools. The Westland Board also makes an appeal for special consideration. The Southland Board puts in a plea for the revival of the "working average" as a basis of capitation allowance. The Wellington Board asks for some assistance in carrying on the School of Design. The Boards of Taranaki, Wanganui, Greymouth, and Southland give particulars of the want of school accommodation; and the Otago Board states that the demand for new schools in outlying districts is greater than it has been for several years. The reports will be found in the Appendix (pp. 54 to 92, and 105 to 108). The Auckland and Wellington Normal Schools were closed at the end of the year, owing to the cessation of the grant for the training of teachers. The Otago Board has kept its Normal School open, and the North Canterbury Board has remodelled its school instead of closing it. The reports on these institutions are printed with the reports of the Boards of the districts to which they belong. Education Eeseeves. The amount paid by School Commissioners to Education Boards during the year as income from reserves devoted to the purposes of primary education was JG29,627 2s. sd. This is practically colonial revenue, inasmuch as the amount of any payment made in one quarter to any Board is deducted from payments due by the Government during the succeeding quarter.

Native Schools. Eight new schools were opened during the year: at Taita, in Hobson County; at Te Matai, near Te Puke; at Eaukokore, in the Bay of Plenty; at Wharekahika or Hick's Bay, and Kawakawa, near East Cape ; and at Eangitukia, Tikitiki, and Tuparoa, near the Waiapu Eiver. The school at Fort Galatea, on the confines of the Urewera country—closed for a time on account of the destruction wrought by the volcanic outbreak at Tarawera —has been reopened. The school at Tokomaru, Open Bay, which was abandoned in 1884, has been revived, with good prospects of success ; and the school at Te Ngaere, near Whangaroa, closed, for three years, is undergoing a new probation. The Upper Waihou school has been closed, owing to the adverse influence of Hauhauism; and the school at Oruawharo, subsidiary to Otamatea, has been given up on account of the small number attending. The school at Uawa, Tologa Bay, has been handed over to the Hawke's Bay Board of Education. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 79, not including four boarding-schools, to which a considerable number of the more advanced pupils are sent by arrangement with the Trustees. Of the 79 schools 67 were ordinary village schools, and 12 were either subsidised or subsidiary schools. The report of Mr. Pope, the Inspector of Native Schools (E.-2), furnishes very full information respecting the condition and progress of all these schools. The Government pupils at boarding-schools were 74 in number, 15 of whom were at S. Joseph's Eoman Catholic School, Napier, and 59 at Church of England schools. The 59 are, for the most part, pupils who have passed the Fourth (the highest) Standard at the ordinary Native schools, and the 15 are children selected from districts where there is no local school. With the 59 Government scholars at Church of England boarding-schools (29 boys at S. Stephen's, Parnell; 10 boys at Te Aute, Hawke's Bay ; and 20 girls at Hukarere, Napier), 82 other pupils (19, 43, and 20 at the several schools in the order in which they have been named) are maintained at the sole cost of the Trustees of the schools. The number on the books of the ordinary Native schools in December was 2,631, as against 2,346 a year ago. Of the 2,631 pupils 1,973 were Maoris, or more Maori than European; 242 were half-castes; and 416 European, or more European than Maori (many of these being the children of the teachers). With respect to age, 72 were under 5 years, 1,384 ranged from 5 to 10 years, 1,032 from 10 to 15, and 143 were above 15. The working average for the year was 2,247, and for the fourth quarter, 2,095 —1,189 boys and 906 girls—the strict average for the year being 2,138, and for the fourth quarter, 1,977. The increase in the working average for the year (as compared with 1886) was 227, and for the last quarter (as compared with the last quarter of 1886), 249. The mean of the four quarterly average roll numbers is 2,674; so that the working average for the year shows an average daily attendance of 84 per cent., and the strict average for the year shows an average daily attendance of 80 per cent. This indicates a regularity of attendance superior to that of the pupils of the public schools, except those of Otago, where the average daily attendance is 84*5 per cent., to be compared with 84 per cent, in Maori schools. At the examinations held during the year passes in standards were recorded as follows : L, 407 ; 11., 217 ; 111., 148 ; IV., 68 : total, 840. The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was as follows: 67 masters, with salaries from £245 to £60; 11 mistresses, =£160 to £75; 26 assistant mistresses, ,£4O to £10; and 39 sewing-mistresses at ,£2O. The expenditure on Native school buildings for the year was £5,657 9s. 2d., including £762 12s. 7d. granted to Education Boards for building schools in districts in which Maoris are largely intermingled with Europeans. The outlay on school buildings for 1886 and 1887 has been unusually large, owing to the fact that during that period many sites were obtained with respect to which negotiations had been in progress for several years, and had been greatly delayed by legal difficulties. It is not at all likely that such accumulations of arrears will occur again. The other expenditure amounts to £16,147 19s. 5d., made up as follows : Teachers' salaries and allowances, £11,774 12s. 4d.; removal of teachers, £334 os. 5d.; books and school requisites, £480 ss. 7d.; prizes, £222 12s.

repairs and minor works, £466 Os. 6d. ; inspection, superintendence, and travelling, £772 13s. lOd. ; grants in aid of musical instruments and games, and for girls residing in turn in teachers' families, £67 6s. lOd. ; boarding-schools and apprenticeship, £1,813 7s. lid. ; sundries, including sewing material to be accounted for, £216 19s. 4d. Contributions amounting to £216 6s. 2d. were received from Native Eeserves Funds.

The number of schools receiving boarders has declined since 1879 from seven to four, the three schools that have fallen out of the list being S. Mary's (Ponsonby), Meanee (Hawke's Bay), and S. Joseph's (Wellington). The thanks of the Department are due to the gentlemen who have acted as District Superintendents of Native schools, namely, Mr. H. W. Bishop, Mr. J. H. Greenway, Mr. J. S. Clendon, Mr. G. T. Wilkinson, Mr. H. W. Brabant, Mr. E. S. Bush, and Mr. J. Booth. Much of the success of the schools in their districts is due to their exertions. Mr. Pope's Native School Eeader has been translated into Maori and printed, and the edition has been presented to a society which will sell the book to the Natives and devote the proceeds to the preparation of another work to be sold in its turn, and so on. Institution foe Deaf-mutes. The number of pupils in the school at Sumner at the end of the year was forty-two, showing an increase of one for the year, four having entered and three 3—E. 1.

left. The institution has now been at work so long that older pupils will be leaving every year and making room for new pupils. The advantage secured by the addition made to the staff is at present neutralised by the absence of the senior assistant master, to whom it has been necessary to grant leave of absence for a few months. His return, however, is daily expected, and the school will soon be in a better position than ever to do justice to the pupils. The expenditure for the year was .£3,732 15s. 9d., accounted for as follows : Salaries, £1,221 12s. 9d.; board of pupils, ,£1,666 Bs.; rent, £562 10s.; travelling, £130 3s. 6d.; sundries, £152 Is. 6d. Towards this expense the parents contributed £318 12s. Bd. The annual report of the school will be printed as a parliamentary paper (8.-4). The number of blind children in the colony is, happily, too small to justify the establishment of a separate school. Six blind children are, however, maintained by the Government at a school in Melbourne, and one in Sydney. The payments are made through the Colonial Secretary's Office. Industbial Schools. The number of children and young persons under the control of the industrial schools declined during the year from 1,609 to 1,523, the admissions being 224 and the discharges 310. During the same time the number maintained by the institutions has increased from 1,129 to 1,158, the inmates discharged being in-most cases already at service or licensed to reside with their friends. As is shown in Table T 595 were maintained in the schools (the increase for the year being 12), and 563 boarded out (the increase being 17). Among the cases of discharge are reckoned 11 boys transferred to the Costley Institute in Auckland, 2 girls married, 5 children adopted, and 4 deaths. One little girl of five, who had. been an inmate of S. Joseph's, Wellington, for a year, died of asthmatic croup. Two sisters, ill when they were admitted to S. Mary's, Nelson, in May, died of croup, one in June and the other in August, their ages being 7 and s}. The fourth case was that of a little girl, six years old, who died in October, of effusion of blood on the brain, brought on by whooping-cough, having been admitted to Burnham a month before and boarded out. Of the inmates maintained 12 are above the age of 15 and are supported not by the Government, but by the Eoman Catholic schools in which they reside ; last year the number of such inmates was eight. The five resident inmates at the Thames are maintained by the local authorities. This leaves 1,141 to be maintained by the Government or by the Charitable Aid Boards. In some cases the parents have to pay the whole or part of the cost of maintenance. The contributions received by Government from parents and from Charitable Aid Boards amount to nearly half of the expenditure on the Government schools. The " private " schools receive direct payment from Charitable Aid Boards for some children.

each school. It will be seen that in the Government and local schools there is an increase of 16, the number of boarded-out children being greater than it was a year ago by 19, and the number of resident children less by 3. In the private schools the increase is 13, the two boarded-out children having ceased to be chargeable, and 15 having been added to the number in residence. The number of inmates (in the legal sense) being 1,523, and the number maintained by the schools —either in residence or boarded out —being 1,158, there remain 365 to be accounted for. There are 253 at service, 85 licensed to reside with their friends, 3 are in hospital, 3 in lunatic asylums, 1 in a refuge, 1 in prison, and 19 absent without leave. Of the 19 absent without leave 4 belong to Kohimarama, 1 to Burnham, and 13 to Caversham, several of them being young persons who have left places of services without permission, and therefore.are technically absconders. It is found that young persons otherwise well conducted sometimes commit this offence because they feel that a stigma attaches to them while they are known to be under the legal control of the manager of an industrial school. This control was intended to protect them against unworthy persons who, if it were relaxed, would be their legal guardians, but the intention is not always understood or appreciated. It is now the practice of the Department to move for the discharge of young persons when they appear to be quite capable of protecting themselves. The ages of the 19 absentees range from ten to twenty. They are all boys except one. Some of the cases are of long standing, and only nine have been added to their number during the year. The number of girls belonging to the schools is 622 (out of 1,523); 240 residing in the schools ; 234 boarded out; 102 at service ; 41 with friends ; lin hospital; 2in a lunatic asylum; 1 in a refuge; and 1 who has left a place of service without leave. Of the 224 children received during the year 115 were simply destitute, 24 vagrant, 27 living in disreputable places, 13 "uncontrollable," 43 guilty of punishable offences, and 2 were admitted privately at the request of the parents. More than half had been pupils in "public schools," their number being 114; 30 had been at Koman Catholic Schools; lat a Church of England School; and 79 (many of whom were very young children) had not attended school, or nothing was known respecting their attendance. With respect to the religious belief in which they are to be brought up, 88 are described as belonging to the Church of England, 74 as Eoman Catholic, 38 as Presbyterian, 20 as Wesleyan, 1 as Congregational, 1 as Lutheran, 1 as belonging to the " Christian Disciples," and las " Protestant." So far as can be gathered from the facts represented in Table U, it appears that there were 28 cases in which the character and conduct of both father and mother were unsatisfactory, besides 60 cases in which the father and 50 in which the mother was to blame ; 66 attributable to misfortune; and 20 cases in which the information is not sufficient to found an opinion upon.

made at the same rate for children boarded out from Government schools, except in a few cases where the children are very young or very delicate. For the Government schools the expenditure and recoveries for the year were as stated in Table W, and the Government expenditure on private schools was as shown in Table X.
TABLE W.—Cost of Government Schools.
TABLE X. —Government Expenditure on Private Schools.
The net cost to the Department, as shown by these two tables, has been .£11,669 Is. 3d. In 1886 the net cost for the Government schools alone was more than £16,000. These schools have cost less than in 1887 by more than £1,000; and the recoveries, principally from Charitable Aid Boards, have been greater by £5,700. Since the cost of the Government schools has been £18,187 16s. 5d., and the number of children maintained in connection with them has varied from 826 to 848, the average yearly cost of each child (including those who are boarded out) is about £21 12s. This includes outfits for boarded-out children, and all administrative expenses connected with them. The calculation is not quite fair, because some part of the outlay is not on behalf of the children maintained, but is for the benefit of young people in service or with friends, who occupy much of the time and attention of the managers, and who are provided with outfits on going to service or elsewhere. The Department has abundant reason to be satisfied with the results of the boarding-out system. Though the number of children under this system is 563, only one death has occurred among them during the year, and in that case the child had been only a month under the care of the school authorities. Satisfactory progress is being made with the work of finding situations for children who have been boarded out, and have arrived at an age which renders it necessary that they should be put in the way of earning a livelihood. The ladies who visit the foster-homes and make monthly reports on all the boarded-out children deserve the thanks of the Department and of the country, and the police authorities render some excellent service in connection with the children placed out to service. Further particulars are set forth in another paper (E.-3). The Costley Institute has received eleven boys from the Auckland Industrial School (Kohimarama) during the year. The accounts of the Institute will be submitted to Parliament (E.-3a). University and Secondary Education. Consequent upon the examinations held at the end of 1887 degrees have been conferred by the University of New Zealand as follows : the degree of M.A. on fourteen Bachelors of Arts ; of LL.B. on one Bachelor of Arts ; of B.A. on twenty-five undergraduates; of LL.D. on one Bachelor of Laws ; of B.Sc. on one Master of Arts. The number of graduates admitted by examination is now 169,

The Chancellor's report to His Excellency the Governor will be submitted to Parliament (E.-5). The affiliated colleges were attended in 1887 by 580 students, of whom 266 were matriculated. The numbers for the several colleges are as follows : Auckland University College, 107 (graduates, 6; undergraduates, 44; not matriculated, 57 : men, 68; women, 39); Canterbury College, 325 (of whom 117 were matriculated); Otago University, 148 (of whom 99 were matriculated). The reports of these colleges will be printed as separate papers (E.-8, E.-7, E.-6). The high schools in operation during the year are named in the following table:—

The total number of pupils of these schools, which had declined in 1886, was still further reduced in 1887. The total in December, 1885, was 2,578; in December, 1886, it was 2,358 ; and last December, 2,242, with an average attendance of 2,093. The amount of the salaries of the teachers, exclusive of those of visiting teachers, was £32,634. The income of the high schools, omitting Hokitika High School, which is not in operation, and from which accounts have not yet been received, was about ,£50,288, including .£23,772 in the form of current income from endowments, £20,260 received as school fees, £3,362 as boarding-school fees, £69 as interest, and Government grants amounting to £2,825; but not including balances, refunds, sales, withdrawal of investments, and other matters of account. Intimation has been made to the high schools accustomed to receive grants from Parliament that aid in this form is no longer to be expected. The proposals referred to in last year's report for the establishment of a general system of examination for the upper forms of the secondary schools have not found favour with the headmasters. A conference of masters was held in Nelson in February, 1888, at which resolutions were passed as follows :— " That this conference is not at present prepared to suggest any practical scheme for the regular examination of secondary schools, and is of opinion that the entrance examination of the New Zealand University should be used as far as possible as a test examination of the highest forms." '■' That the Senate of the New Zealand University be respectfully requested to give every encouragement to high schools, bj^ cheapening and localising the matriculation and junior scholarship examinations, so that they may be used to test the work of the ordinary fifth and sixth forms." Miscellaneous. The correspondence initiated in February, 1887, in the hope of engaging the interest of the colleges in a scheme for promoting the study of technical art and science has been temporarily suspended, on account of indications of probable expense to the Department No aid has been granted this year to the public libraries, which have for some time past been accustomed to receive an annual subsidy. The fifth biennial examination for a Gilchrist Scholarship of £100 a year, tenable for three years, took place in February, 1887. There were two candidates. Mr. Charles George Spencer, to whom the scholarship was awarded, and who has gone to England to study as a condition of holding it, was bracketed equal for third place in the honours list of the London University matriculation examination, on which the award depended; and Mr. Charles Thomas Wilson Little was bracketed equal for fourteenth place in the same list. The Gilchrist Trustees have announced that, " having taken into consideration the numerous replies which they have received from the colonies respecting their scholarships," they have decided to withdraw the scholarships offered to Australia and New Zealand. No doubt one of the replies referred to was based upon a memorandum addressed by the Hon. Sir Eobert Stout, as Premier, to His Excellency the Governor, in which evidence was adduced to show that in New Zealand the offer had in no way been slighted, an assurance was given that the interest taken in the scholarship was on the increase, and a suggestion was made that, if a change in the conditions attached to the scholarship was intended, keener competition might be induced by allowing the successful candidate to reside in the colony, and to carry on his studies in one of our University colleges, perhaps under the obligation to apply himself to original research. The first Junior and Senior examinations under the regulations made in accordance with the requirements of "The Civil Service Eeform Act, 1886," were conducted by the Education Department in January of this year, simultaneously with the examination of candidates for teachers' certificates. At the Senior examination there were 37 candidates, of whom 15 passed, besides one

who entered for shorthand only and passed. At the Junior examination 148 presented themselves. Of these candidates sixty-six passed: their names were published in the Neiv Zealand Gazette in the order of merit, and the list is kept in the office of the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, in order that cadetships becoming vacant during the year may be offered to the candidates according to the principle of competition embodied in the Act. The cost of the examinations as a whole —for teachers and for the Civil Service—was more than covered by the fees received from the candidates. Under an Act of 1868 for the endowment of a " Colonial University" the income arising from certain reserves is accumulating, and is at some future time to be appropriated by Parliament to the purposes of higher education in the districts in which the reserves are situated. The sums now in the Treasury on this account are as follows :■ — Prom reserves in Canterbury (Ashburton) ... ... ... £971 1 4 ~ at Grey mouth and Hokitika ... ... ... 102 7 6 „ at Waitotara ... ... ... ... Nil. ~ in Taranaki ... ... ... ... Nil. Total £1,073 8 10 The Post-office system designed to encourage thrift among school-children by receiving deposits of postage-stamps at the savings banks is not valued as highly'as it was expected to be. The number of accounts open at the end of the year was 2,828; and at the end of 1883 there were 5,586 accounts. The new accounts opened during the year were only 261. The Secretary to the Post Office has, as usual, kindly furnished the statistics, which are as follows : —■

REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS FOR YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1887.
[Note. —Minute details relating tc school districts are in some oases omitted. Tables are not all reprinted, the substance o£ mostjjof them being embodied in the tables in or attached to the report of the Minister.]
AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1888. In conformity to section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings during the year 1887. Board. —There has been no change in the constitution of the Board during the past year. The members are—Messrs. James William Carr, James MeCosh Clark, Theophilus Cooper, David Goldie, M.H.E., James Marshall Lennox, William Pollock Moat, M.H.E., Eichard Udy, John Henry "Upton, and Samuel Luke (Chairman). Mr. Clark now retires from the Board, of which he has been a member for the past nine years, including three years of office as Chairman. Forty-seven meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. A committee of the whole Board met once a week for the transaction of routine business, and for the consideration of matters specially referred to it. Public Schools. —There were 249 schools in operation during the year. At the end of the year the number was 246, of which fifty were half-time schools. The number of school districts was 201. New schools were opened at Albert Street (Auckland), Point Chevalier, Karaka, Whangarata, Opua, Euapekapeka, Waharoa (Matamata), Omahu (half-time with Hikutaia), and Whananaki; and the school at Tokatoka, closed in December, 1886, was reopened. The following schools were closed during the year : ITuia (aided), Kaiawai (Miranda), and Katikati No. 4 (aided). Since December, 1887, the schools at Mangapiko, Manukau Heads, and Papakura Valley No. 2 have been closed. There is still a large proportion of small and " non-paying" schools. In December there were no fewer than 109 schools with an average attendance under twenty-five, and there were sixty-four other schools whose attendance ranged from twenty-five to fifty. The disproportionate cost of maintaining these small schools is referred to in another part of this report. Their number seems likely to increase rather than to decrease. Each week brings an application from the residents of some remote village or homestead settlement for the means of educating their children. The half-time system is adopted wherever practicable, and arrangements are made with the teachers to devote three days a week to each half-time school. Teachees. —The number of teachers increased from 648 to 688, classified as follows :— Male. Female. Total. In charge of schools ... ... 181 ... 42 ... 223 Assistants ... ... ... 32 ... 146 ... 178 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... 28 ... 194 ... 222 Sewing teachers ... ... ... 0 ... 60 ... 60 Visiting teachers ... ... ... 5 ... 0 ... 5 Total at 31st December, 1887 .. 246 ... 442 ... 688 Of the head teachers, 157 were certificated, 32 were classified or licensed, and 34 were uncertificated. Of the assistants, 125 were certificated, 20 were classified or licensed, and 33 were uncertificated. This last number includes several probationers, or teachers in course of training. These probationers are generally attached to some town school, in order to acquire such a knowledge of the system as will fit them for appointment to country schools when vacancies occur. The number of uncertificated teachers is being gradually reduced, and their employment in schools for which a certificated teacher can be obtained is now limited to one or two cases. There are, however, several small schools which none but an uncertificated teacher would be willing to accept, and for these the Board can only make the best provision possible under the circumstances. All uncertificated teachers are required to attend the annual examination, unless specially exempted by the Board. Pupil-teachbbs.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June, and resulted as follows :—■

Immediate employment was given to all the male candidates who passed. Of the forty-six girls who qualified, only twenty have yet found employment. The supply of female candidates is largely in excess of the demand. At the end of the year the number of pupil-teachers was 222 —namely, 70 of the first year, 58 of the second year, and 94 of the third year. There is an increasing number of pupil-teachers who have completed their term of three years' service, and who are waiting promotion to the rank of assistants, for which some of them have qualified by passing the teachers' examination in Class E. They rank and are paid as third-year pupilteachers, and their employment is continued indefinitely. Unless a limit is set to the period over which a pupil-teacher's engagement shall extend, the Board will be unable to bear the cost of maintaining so large a staff of the highest grade and pay. The vacancies in the staff of assistants are few and far between, and there is no longer a training college into which pupil-teachers can be drafted after passing through the usual course. The Board has delegated the instruction of pupilteachers to the head teachers. Every head teacher is now required to devote an hour each schoolday to this purpose. The Board has also determined that two failures to pass the same examination shall cancel the engagement of a pupil-teacher. Attendances.—The following table shows the number of schools and the attendances of scholars during the December quarters of 1886 and 1887 respectively:—
The strict average for the December quarter, 1887, was 17,033. The number of scholars on the roll between five and six years of age was 1,279; and the number of those between six and seven years was 2,345. There were 584 scholars over school-age, and 228 scholars had passed the Sixth Standard. The " working average " attendance for the last quarter was 82 per cent, of the roll number; the average for the whole year was 78 per cent, of the roll number. The employment of a truant officer for the city and suburbs of Auckland produced a marked increase in the regularity of attendance at the town schools. But in some country districts the attendance is most irregular even in fine weather—children are kept at home to work, their education is neglected, the teacher is disheartened, and the whole school suffers. The attendance at half-time schools is, speaking generally, fairly regular. Feee Night-school.—An important work was undertaken by the Board in the opening of a free night-school in the Newton East school-building. The need of provision being made for the instruction of lads and young men employed at work in the day-time was represented to the Board by a deputation of clergymen and others; and the school was opened, as an experiment, in July with the voluntary help of a number of the town teachers. The experiment proved to be a success. A headmaster and assistants were appointed. The Governors of the Auckland College and Grammar School were invited to join in the work, and provided the services of a science master on two evenings in the week. The school, which opened with ninety pupils, now numbers 310; and the Board is satisfied that good and useful work is being done in it. The instruction is such as is adapted to the requirements of the pupils. The success of the school is largely due to the zeal and tact of the headmaster (Mr. W. H. Draffin) and of his assistants. Inspection.—Owing to the illness of Mr. Eidler in the early part of the year, it became necessary to engage an Assistant Inspector for three months; and Mr. E. B. Heriot, Headmaster of the Waiotahi Creek School, Thames, was employed in this service. The number of schools visited during the year was 237 for examination and 180 for inspection. By the retirement of Mr. O'Sullivan from the office of senior Inspector of Schools, the Board, loses the services of an able and experienced officer, whose practical knowledge and sound judgment have been of the greatest value to the interests of education in this district during the past twenty years. Subjects of Instbuction. —The visiting teachers of singing and drill at Auckland and at the Thames have been dispensed with, it being considered that there is now a sufficient number of teachers of the ordinary staff qualified to give instruction in these subjects. A visiting teacher of drawing is still employed, but owing to the reduction of income the Board is obliged to dispense with his services also. Apparatus for teaching science in the schools has been obtained from England, and is now distributed on loan to teachers, the arrangements for distribution being undertaken by Professor Brown, of the Auckland University College. The reading-books for Standards I. to IV. have been changed to the new readers published by Messrs. Longmans. Tbaining College.—The withdrawal of the yearly grant of £2,000 obliged the Board to close the Training College at the end of the year. There were forty students on the books during the year. Fourteen students left the College in order to fill appointments in the public schools ; and at the 31st December there were twenty-six students awaiting appointment. Twenty of these have since obtained employment. Since the opening of the College seven years ago 109 students (thirtyseven males and seventy-two females) have been admitted to a course of training. Of this number, ninety-one aie now engaged in teaching, six are awaiting appointments, three have died, and nine have left the service. The work of the College has not been limited to the students. During the whole period of seven years training-classes have been conducted by the Principal and his assistants

for the instruction of teachers and pupil-teachers. A large number of uncertificated country teachers have also been assisted, by means of correspondence, in their preparation for the annual examination. District High School.—The number of pupils at the Cambridge District High School decreased from fourteen to seven. As there is no immediate prospect of an increase, the Board has decided to close the school at the 31st March, 1888. Scholarships.—Thirty-two scholarships were held during the year. The holders attended the Auckland College and Grammar School, the Auckland Girls' High School, and the Thames Boys' and Girls' High School. The headmasters' reports of their attendance and progress were almost without exception Satisfactory. Free tuition at these schools is granted not only to scholars, but also to candidates who obtain certificates of merit at the examination. The time of examination has been changed from August to December. The Board has under consideration a proposal to abolish the senior scholarships, which are now competed for chiefly by pupils of secondary schools, and (in the interests of country schools) to extend the age of competition for junior scholarships from thirteen to fourteen years. It is urged that the grant for the maintenance of scholarships for pupils of the primary schools ought not to be applied towards providing prizes for pupils of secondary schools, and that the examination should be limited to those subjects which are prescribed in the primary-school course. On the other hand, it is represented that the foundation of senior scholarships is necessary to complete the link between the primary schools and the University, and as a part of the scheme of providing higher education for those who gain junior scholarships. It seems desirable that there should be a uniform scheme of junior and senior scholarships throughout the colony. Buildings.—Little has been done in the way of building during the year. Eight schools and six teachers' dwellings have been erected, and seven school-buildings have been enlarged and improved. The estimate of requirements amounts to £13,008, and the grant for the financial year ending in March, 1888, is only £6,091 ss. Schools are required to replace buildings which are now rented at a cost of nearly £300 a year. New requirements are also constantly arising in the village and homestead settlements which are being formed throughout the country. Many schools are unprovided • with dwellings, and no little difficulty is sometimes experienced in finding suitable accommodation for teachers. The Board has no spare funds to devote to the erection of buildings. The building grants voted annually by Parliament are the only means of supplying these wants. It is important, therefore, that they should be allotted according to the actual requirements of each education district. At present they are allotted on the basis of population without any regard to local necessities. Accounts and Finance. —The annual statement of receipts and expenditure is subjoined. The receipts from all sources amounted to £86,780 10s. 7d., and the expenditure to £81,136 15s. 4d. The balance is absorbed by the liabilities outstanding at the end of the year. The capitation grant of £3 19s. was applied as follows : —■ £ s. d. In teachers' salaries ... ... ... ... ...380 per head. In grants to Committees ... ... ... ... 0 6 6 „ In inspection and examination ... ... ... ... 0 2 4 „ In office management ... ... ... ... ... 0 2 2 „ Total ... ... ... ... £3 19 0 The reductions proposed by Parliament in the education vote obliged the Board to make a thorough examination of its ways and means. It was found that the cost of maintaining schools under twenty-five averaged more than £5 for each scholar, and that the cost of schools between twenty-five and fifty averaged £4 18s. lOd. per scholar. The total loss on these schools amounted to £6,000 a year, irrespective of the cost of inspection and administration. This result is due not to a high rate of salaries, but to the preponderating number of small schools. The salaries paid to teachers in this district are, on the whole, lower than those paid in other districts of the colony. Auckland has a large average attendance in the aggregate, but it is spread over a great number of schools. It is obvious that a thousand children can be taught with less expense in ten schools of a hundred each than in fifty schools of twenty each; and, as the income of a Board is regulated solely by the number of scholars, without reference to the number of schools, that district can pay its teachers the most liberally which is least burdened with small schools. After long and careful deliberation, the Board has succeeded in effecting the necessary reductions without either closing any country schools or lowering the scale of payments to teachers. It is proposed to reduce the number of teachers (1) by discontinuing the employment of a pupilteacher in schools under forty average attendance; (2) by lessening the scale by one pupil-teacher in schools over three hundred; and (3) by reducing the staff of teachers to the strict limits of the scale, which had been previously exceeded in some of the larger schools. A small reduction has been made in the scale of grants to Committees, and large reductions have been made in the cost of inspection and office management. The changes are summarised as follows : — Seduction of Income. —Grant for training teachers, £2,000 ; extra capitation grant of 45., £3,300 ; substitution of " strict " average for " working " average, £1,600 : total, £6,900. Seduction of Expenditure. —Maintenance of Training College and classes, £2,250; visiting teachers of singing, drawing, and drill, £1,100; number of teachers, £2,000; payment to teachers on "strict" average, £400; District High School, £100; grants to Committees, £600; office staff and inspection, £655 : total, £7,105.

Eepobt on the Auckland Training College. Sir,— Auckland Training College, 29th February, 1888. I have the honour to submit the annual report of the work of the Training College. In doing so I cannot but utter an expression of regret that it should have fallen to my lot to deal with the closing year of the institution. Under these circumstances it may perhaps be well if I venture to supplement the account of what has been done with some few remarks on the general question of training. I took over charge of the College on the Ist day of February, 1887. There were then thirty students in daily attendance, distributed thus : Males, 12 ; females, 18 : total, 30. During the year there were admitted into the College six new students, of whom three were males and three were females. On the other hand, there were removed by the Board eleven, of whom five were males and six were females. The number of students in the successive quarters was as follows : First quarter, 30; second quarter, 28; third quarter, 25; fourth quarter, 25 : average, 27. The work of the College was mainly defined by the requirements of the D and E Certificate examinations, and also, though only to a very limited extent, by those of the University. The number of those who attended the professorial lectures was however very small. Throughout the year a considerable portion of time, amounting to one day in each week, was devoted to practical work under the supervision of the Vice-Principal and myself, regular criticism being given on the manner and method of the students in the conduct of a class. In drawing, singing, and drill weekly instruction was given by visiting teachers. When an institution has practically ceased to exist it may seem a waste of time to discuss plans, or offer suggestions for its improvement; yet the experience of the past year leads me to say that the work of the College would have gained greatly in worth had there been in every case an entrance examination and a definite term of studentship. Passing now to what I may call the side work of the College—namely, the Saturday classes, the correspondence class, and the class on Monday and Thursday afternoons—in the first of these, the Saturday classes, without counting the certificated teachers who came to the College for singing, drawing, and drill, there were in average attendance as follows:— Of first-year pupil-teachers... ... ... ... ... ... 34-2 Of second-year pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... ... 25-3 Of third-year pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... ... 27-3 Of uncertificated teachers ... ... ... ... ... 323 Total ... ... ... ... ... ... 119-1 Eegular weekly lectures were given in school method and management, arithmetic, English language and literature, history—in fact in the various subjects demanded by the pupil-teacher or E examination. In the case of certain of the pupil-teachers the Saturday classes were further supplemented on Monday and Thursday afternoons. The average attendance on these days was 391, and the subjects taken up were history and English grammar and analysis. Besides these weekly classes held at the College, there was a large correspondence class, the average number being 50-3. In this were comprised the uncertificated country teachers who, by
E.—l
58
distance or otherwise, were unable to visit the College. Eegular papers were sent out in the various subjects for the B examination, and the answers criticized and returned. Although this entailed heavy labour on Mr. Gifford (the Assistant) and myself, yet I am of opinion that the gain to the teachers was considerable. The above are the leading facts in connection with the work of the Training College during the past year; but the sudden cessation of the institution warrants me in making a few remarks on the training of teachers generally. Mr. Matthew Arnold, in a recent report on Continental schools as compared with those in England, "says, "The instruction is better in the foreign popular schools than in our own, because the teachers are better trained." His indirect testimony to the importance of training is borne out by the direct evidence of every educational writer of any repute in all countries where a national educational system has become an established fact. Indeed, the real progress of national education may be traced in every case by the greater emphasis laid on the necessity for training. The principle is universally adopted, though of course the means used for giving it form vary in different parts of the world. In the majority training colleges prevail— notably in Germany and in the United States, though in some parts of the latter chairs of education are established in connection with the universities. Here in New Zealand financial exigencies have brought about the termination of the training colleges. Yet the universally recognised principle that training is necessary remains unaltered by our action. How then is this principle to be carried into practice ? Some suggest that the training of the teachers should be placed in the hands of the head teachers. This method has already been tried in Germany. There training pupils used to receive private instruction from schoolmasters in whose schools they at the same time assisted as pupil-teachers. The training, however, thus provided was found to be inadequate, and as the outcome of various experiments a State system of training colleges was established. This result is probably what might have been anticipated. The training of teachers is a special department of educational work, which demands special and individual attention from those to whom it is intrusted. It is well that we should consider the efforts made in a country like Germany to grapple with this question —nowhere has it been so thoroughly and unflinchingly studied ; and we may learn from' what they have tried and given up, as well as from what they have thought it right to continue. At present, however, it seems hopeless to look for the re-establishment of training colleges. What, then, can be done ? I venture to suggest for the consideration of the Board that at any rate in the Province of Auckland, until happier and more prosperous days arrive, a temporary machinery for the training of our teachers may be found in—(1) the maintenance of the correspondence classes ; (2) the continuation of the Saturday work. One man could do the whole of this work, with a little help on the Saturday mornings ; but if papers were sent out every fortnight and criticized and annotated as they should be he would not have much spare time at his disposal during the week, for it must be borne in mind that criticism here means exact and minute discussion of the principles involved in the various papers ; it would be altogether insufficient merely to mark the papers as right or wrong. I would further suggest that, in addition to the regular quarterly report, there should be furnished to the Board at the end of each year a careful statement of the work done by each teacher in connection with the classes, giving not mere marks or percentage, but a brief summary of the range and tendency of that work. It is of course for the Board to determine how far, with their present resources, such a plan as the above may be practicable ; but I trust I shall not be deemed transgressing the limits of my brief if I venture again to emphasize the importance of some such plan. But for the help and encouragement which the correspondence classes afford, the country teachers would in most cases be left to their own devices. Such a system supplies a continual incentive to work and selfculture. Terminate it, and this will be wanting, with the natural result that the teachers must deteriorate and the percentage of failures be increased. In conclusion, I wish to bear testimony to the loyal and efficient help at all times rendered me by the Vice-Principal, Mr. Worthington, the Assistant, Mr. Gifford, and, speaking generally, by the whole College staff. I have, &c, E. H. Gullivee, M.A., Principal. The Secretary, Board of Education, Auckland.
TAEANAKI. Blß,— New Plymouth, February, 1888. I have the honour to transmit the report of the Education Board of the District of Taranaki for the year ending the 31st December, 1887. The Board. —At the annual election in March Mr. B. G. Bauchope, Mr. F. Bluck, and Mr. W. N. Syme were elected ; and subsequently Mr. B. Olson and Mr. A. G. Adlam were elected to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of Mr. F. Bluck and Mr. J. Wade. Mr. Kelly was reelected Chairman. The Board then consisted of the following members—viz.: Mr. T. Kelly (Chairman), Mrs. Eichmond, Miss Heywood, Mr. J. Andrews, Mr. A. G. Adlam, Mr. E. G. Bauchope, Mr. H. Faull, Mr. B. Olson, and Mr. W. N. Syme. The Board held twenty-four ordinary and three special meetings during the year. The following are the attendances of each member: Mr. Kelly, 24; Mrs. Eichmond, 22 ; Miss Heywood, 27 ; Mr. Andrews, 25 ; Mr. Bauchope, 26 ; Mr. Faull, 27 ; Mr. Syme, 16 ; Mr. Olson, 13'; and Mr. Adlam, 9. Schools. —The number of schools open during the year is the same as last year—viz., thirtyfive ; and the average attendance of children at each school, leaving out the Central School at New Plymouth, was for the year forty-two. Those who make themselves acquainted with the education system of the colony will readily understand from this that it is impossible for this district to compete with districts where the schools are large in obtaining the best teachers or in producing equal
E.—l
59
teaching results. In the face of the great difficulties that are to be overcome in this district in producing good results in developing the intellectual powers of the children, the Board is glad to be able to state that many schools have shown a marked advance on former years, due to the capacity and care of the teachers in charge. The Midhurst, Bgmont Village, Waipuku, Waiongona, and Lepperton Schools are especially noted as having achieved marked success, and in the case of the Midhurst and Waipuku Schools this success has been obtained in the face of a low average attendance of 54 and 56 per cent, respectively on the school-roll. In some schools where the teaching is good, so marked an improvement not being shown may have been the result of causes which cannot be gauged by the usual examination tests. In many schools there is, the Board regret to find, a falling-off compared with the results of former years ; and a few are very unsatisfactory, arising from teachers being in charge who have no faculty for teaching, and who are, apparently, unable to improve their teaching power. These cases present a difficulty to the Board, as these schools have generally a small attendance, and it is often impossible to obtain teachers qualified for the work, owing to the small remuneration offered. In connection with this subject, it is a matter for consideration whether, without making a radical change in the present system of administering education, the salaries of teachers could not be more equalised on a basis of teaching ability and experience in school management. This proposal, if given effect to, would to a certain extent centralise the organization, but it would not unduly interfere with the local duties and responsibility. If such a change could be made, small educational districts like Taranaki would obtain greater teaching advantages than they at present possess, without injuring the larger districts of the colony. Teachees.—The number of teachers on the staff at the end of the year was eighty-five, classified as follows :— Male. Female. Total. Head teachers .... ... ... ... 22 ... 13 ... 35 Assistant teachers ... ... ... 1 ... 8 ... 9 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... 4 ... 22 ... 26 Sewing teachers... ... ... ... 0 ... 15 ... 15 Total ... ... ... 27 ... 58 ... 85 The teaching staff of the Board is undoubtedly becoming more efficient; but, if the policy of the Board to build schools where an average attendance of twenty-five children can be obtained is continued, the proportion of women teachers must increase, as it is found in practice that it is only by employing women teachers that efficient teaching can be obtained in small schools, as the small salaries will not command the services of competent masters. The Board is glad to find that good results are being derived from the establishment of a teaching class, initiated by the Inspector, with the co-operation of the senior teachers. The object of this class is, by mutual aid and example, to instruct the junior teachers and pupil-teachers in the best methods of teaching and school management. As this good work is being performed by the teachers gratuitously, and at some personal sacrifice, it clearly shows that they take a real interest in raising the standard of education in the district. Attendance.—The attendance for the year shows an increase on the average of 130, which would have been larger but for the unusual desertion of the schools during the December quarter, owing to sickness among the children. Last year the attendance was 73 per cent.; this year it is 77 per cent., showing that the general interest in school work is steadily increasing as the benefits of education are being realised by the community generally. Considering the many difficulties the population of this district—being mainly a forest one —have to contend with in the way of bad roads, which are unfit for young children to travel on for many months in the year, and owing to the interruptions caused in attendance by the necessities of the parents compelling them to utilise the work of their children for milking, planting, and harvest-work, the results of the year's work are as good as can be fairly expected, though lower than other districts where the difficulties to contend with are not so insurmountable. To produce better results in the training of schoolchildren who, as a rule, leave school at thirteen, it would be a wise policy to restrict the teacher as much as possible in most small schools to the more essential subjects, such as intelligent reading, good writing, useful arithmetic, and ordinary composition. It is to be feared that much time is wasted on other subjects which it is impossible to teach well, and which cannot be dropped because the syllabus and the standard examinations require it. Scholarships.—Seven scholarships were competed for during the year. Four were not taken up, and the Board has given instructions for a fresh examination. From an examination of the papers it is evident that limiting the age of competitors to below thirteen years is not producing satisfactory results, and the sooner the limit is fixed at fourteen the better it will be for the interests of education and for the possible competitors. Sewing.—The teaching of sewing now forms part of the work of all the Board's schools. It is gratifying to find that this important part of female technical education is receiving due attention from School Committees and parents of children, and is already producing good results, as shown by the large number of specimens sent in as examples of school work, and by the competition for prizes offered by the Ladies' Sewing Committee and the Board. A marked improvement has been made in this branch during the year. Buildings.—New residences for teachers have been erected at Bell Block, Huirangi, and Lepperton. The Midbirst, Fitzroy, Tataraimaka, Mangorei, and Okato Schools have been enlarged, and a new school, with attached residence, is in course of erection in a newly-settled bush district on the Eatapiko Eoad, in the Midhirst School District. New schools are required at the Kina Eoad and Eltham Eoad. The Waipuku School urgently requires enlarging, and the long-standing want of more accommodation at the Central School is also a very pressing need. In addition to
E.—l
60
these urgent wants teachers' residences are very much required in many districts. An estimated sum of £2,400 is required to supply all these wants, which is more than double the usual Government grant. The repairs to buildings have been fairly maintained during the year, and recently the Board, out of its ordinary fund, painted those buildings which most urgently required it. Committees.—A lively interest is taken in the work of education by the School Committees, as is shown by the elections, and the demands made on the Board for various purposes. Though differences of opinion have arisen between some Committees and the Board in many matters of administration—mainly owing to the want of a clear definition in the Education Act of the relative powers given to the Board and Committees in school matters—no serious difficulty has arisen. It would, however, be advisable for the Legislature to amend the Act so as to avoid all cause of conflict, if possible. The Board's function with respect to finance and administration being mainly to apportion money and educational advantages as fairly as possible throughout the district, in accordance with its judgment as to the relative pressure of the various local wants and just claims, it is evident that all cannot be equally pleased with the result, though the Board endeavours to do its duty fairly and impartially. The total receipts of the various School Committees for the year were £868 6s. lid., and the expenditure £723 Is. Bd., leaving a credit balance of £145 ss. 3d. at the end of the year. Boabd's Income and Expenditure.—The revenue of the Board from all sources for the year was £9,322 7s. 5d., and the expenditure £8,619 11s. 5d., leaving a credit balance of £702 16s. Judging from the proceedings in Parliament that a considerable reduction would be made in the education vote, and thus seriously diminish the revenue of the Board, it was decided to give notice to teachers and Committees that a reduction would be made in salaries and allowances, the Board having resolved that it would so regulate expenditure that whatever money was placed at its disposal by Parliament for educational purposes should not be exceeded, and, at the same time, that educational interest, and the existing schools in the out-districts, should be injuriously affected as little as possible. For further details on matters connected with education in the district, I refer you to the Inspector's report, which furnishes much valuable information. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Thomas Kelly, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sic, — Education Board Office, Wangamii, 14th March, 1888. I have the honour to submit the annual report of this Board's proceedings for the year ending on the 31st December, 1887. Boabd. —The members who retired by rotation in December, 1886, were Mr. W. H. Watt, Mr. G. S. Bridge, and Mr. G. V. Bate. Mr. Bridge and Mr. Bate were re-elected. Mr. Watt, who had been Chairman of the Board since its inception, did not seek re-election, and Mr. John Notman, of Wanganui, was elected a member to fill the vacancy, whilst Mr. Gilbert Carson was subsequently chosen Chairman of the Board for the year, and simultaneously with the latter appointment a resolution was passed that an election for this position should be held annually.
61
E.—l
Schools. —The Board had seventy-six schools in operation at the end of the year 1887. Of these, twelve are aided schools which receive the actual statutory capitation grant only, with occasionally a limited amounts of school furniture. There are also two half-time schools, counted as one, in the above. At these aided schools the Committees are allowed to appoint their own teachers; but they are subject to the approval of the Board, and it is expected that the capitation grant for the teacher's salary will be supplemented by the Committee or settlers, if necessary. The total of attendances at the Board's schools for the December quarter was 6,679, as against 6,105 in 1386. Buildings.—ln February, 1887, the Board was obliged to suspend the acceptance of any new building contracts owing to want of funds. The following works were however commenced and completed : New schools were built at Te Eoti, Cardiff, Alton, formerly called Woodville (Kakaramea), Hunterville, Oroua Bridge, and St. John's Infant School (Wanganui). Extensive additions and repairs have been made to the schools at Ashurst, South Makirikiri, Mount View, Taonui, Manaia, Crofton, and Kakaramea, &c. The Board has also voted pound for pound collected by the settlers for a small school at Kapuni, in the Hawera County. Besides these works numerous repairs of a minor description have been effected, and Committees have been assisted by pound-for-pound votes to clear grounds and erect fences. New schools are now urgently required at Kaupokonui, Fitzherbert, Linton, Kairanga, Pohangina, and Birmingham (Kiwitea); whilst additions are much needed to the schoolhouses at Terrace End, Palmerston North, Bunnythorpe, Hunterville, Eltham, Okaiawa, and Marton. At these schools the children have not floor-space. At Terrace End seventy children are taught in the passages and lavatories. At Palmerston North thirty children have not floor-space. At Linton sixty children have not any schoolhouse at all, and are not receiving education. At Birmingham some twenty-five children are in a similar position. At Marton, in the Second and Third Standards, three children are obliged to sit in each of the dual desks. The attendance at Hunterville has increased beyond all anticipation, which is the cause of a new school requiring additions so soon. There are not any teachers' residences at Eltham, Cardiff, Otakeho, Pihama, Te Eoti, Alton, Waitotara, Terrace End, Paraekaretu, Mangaone, Carnarvon, Hunterville, and Wanganui. The House allowance made to teachers at these places is a heavy charge upon the General Account, and in some cases the teachers are unable to find suitable accommodation. The Board has been informed that the Manawatu Eailway Company will provide a school site at Linton, and they have therefore applied to them for a transfer of any land they may have set apart for school purposes. School Distbicts. —New school districts have been formed at Birmingham (Kiwitea), Taikorea (Oroua), Kapuni (Hawera), and Fitzherbert; and Committees have been elected in compliance with the Act. Teachbes. —At the close of the year the Board had 154 teachers in their employ, and one position was vacant. Of these, twenty-four were head male teachers, three were head female teachers, forty were sole male teachers and nine sole female teachers in charge of schools, seven were male assistants and nineteen female assistants, twelve were male pupil-teachers and thirtynine female pupil-teachers, and one was a male probationer. Inspection.—Early in the year the Board found that the work of inspection had grown far beyond reasonable limits for one Inspector, and they appointed a committee of their members to inquire what relief could be afforded. The committee reported that, owing to the want of funds, they were unable to advise the appointment of an Assistant Inspector, which they would otherwise have gladly recommended. As the several schools are examined in standards or inspected at surprise visits the reports are forwarded to the office, and placed before the Board at each meeting, duplicate copies being forwarded to the Committees in the case of examination. The Board then carefully investigate each report in committee, and direct the teacher's notice to any remarks requiring special attention. The suggestions made by the Inspector in these reports do not always receive that attention from the teachers which the Board think they merit; but due note is made of any shortcomings in this respect. School Sites.—With a view of leasing unoccupied school sites, the Board successfully applied to Government to be placed under "The Public Bodies' Leaseholds Act, 1886." The object in leasing these sites is to have them cleared, fenced, and brought into proper condition, in order that they may be available when required. In the leases, the Board has reserved the right of re-entering upon two acres within the term of the lease, should it be necessary to do so. School Commissioners. —The Hon. John Bryce, who had been elected School Commissioner for this district, resigned in the early part of the year, and the Hon. John Ballance was elected to the position, he having kindly consented to act. Good-attendance Medals and Certificates.—With a view of increasing regular attendance at the several schools, the Board decided to issue good-attendance medals and certificates under certain conditions. The resolution having been arrived at late in the year, it took effect only for good attendances during the last four months of 1887. The result has proved very satisfactory so far, as it is found that a comparison of the average attendance with the roll number for the last quarter of 1886 gives a result of 74-65 per cent., whilst for the same period in 1887 it was 7774. Peinting and School Eequisites.—The contract time for the supply of school requisites and printing having expired, the Board invited fresh tenders, and have accepted one for printing and another for requisites for a further period of two years. Change op School Name. —At the request of the School Committee the Board has changed the name of the Woodville School (Kakaramea) to that of Alton; and under that designation it will be found in the returns from the Ist January, 1888. Scholaeships.—The annual competition for the Board's scholarships took place in the month of June, under the same regulations as previously. Twelve competitors went up for the senior and ten for the junior scholarships; two qualifying for the former, and four for the latter. With 9—E. 1.
E.—l
62
one exception the scholarships are tenable for two years. Of the twelve who competed for the senior scholarships, seven were girls ; and of the ten for the junior, one was a girl. Eeduction in the Govrnment Grant. —Upon receipt of intelligence that the Government grant would bo reduced to the statutory capitation of £3 155., and that the amount would be paid upon the strict average attendance only, the Board gave immediate notice to all School Committees and teachers that there would be a revision of the school fund allowance and of the scale of teachers' salaries. Subsequently a committee of the Board was appointed to deal with the matter, and it is still under consideration. Parliamentary Committee on Education. —In reply to certain questions contained in a circular from the Parliamentary Committee on Education, the Board pointed out the necessity for a differential capitation payment for town and country schools, upon the ground that a Board with a large number of schools scattered over a sparsely settled district is at a great disadvantage as compared with Boards having several large schools in densely populated cities. Finance. —The several returns required by the department were forwarded in due course. The general statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance of £2,585 11s. in the General Account; and the statement of assets and liabilities shows assets amounting to £504 3s. 4d., and liabilities £1,086 los., leaving a net credit balance of £2,002 19s. 4d. The £500 in the assets is due from the Building Account, being a loan from the Eees bequest for the purpose of erecting St. John's Infant School, Wanganui. This amount is again included in the sum of £588 Is., shown as a liability, that sum being due to the Eees Bequest Suspense Account. The other liabilities were for amounts due to teachers for instruction of pupil-teachers, and to Committees for school fund. The Building Account is overdrawn to the extent of £1,691 14s. Bd., with liabilities amounting to £687 2s. Id. The £350 shown in the abstract of accounts as paid from the General Account on the one side, and received by the Building Account on the other, is a portion of the loan of £500 above referred to, the balance of £150 having been accounted for in last year's statement. It is necessary to explain that this money is borrowed from the accumulated interest only of the Eees bequest, and not from the capital account. For information respecting the state and progress of education in this district, I have the honour to refer you to the Inspector's report. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Gilbert Carson, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Office, 31st March, 1888. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to furnish you with the annual report of this Board on educational matters of the district for the year ending the 31st December, 1887. Board. —The constitution of the Board at the commencement of the year was as follows : Mr. J. E. Blair (Chairman), Mr. Henry Bunny, Mr. George Beetham, M.H.E., Mr. Walter Clarke Buchanan, M.H.E., Mr. Arthur Winton Brown, Dr. Newman, M.H.E., Mr. John Young, Mr. George Vance Shannon, and the Eev. James Paterson. In March Messrs. Buchanan, Bunny, and Shannon retired. Mr. Shannon decided not to stand for re-election. Ten candidates were nominated, and Mr. W. C. Buchanan, Mr. H. Bunny, and Mr. P. H. Eraser were elected. Meetings.—During the year the Board has held, fifteen meetings, made up as follows : Twelve
63
E.—l
ordinary, two special, and one emergency meeting. The attendance of members was—Mr. J. E. Blair, 14; Mr. G. Beetham, 13; Mr. A. W. Brown, 13; Mr. W. C. Buchanan, 7; Mr. H. Bunny, 14 ; Mr. P. H. Fraser (nine months), 12 ; Dr. Newman, 9 ; Eev. J. Paterson, 13 ; J. Young, 12. New Distbict.—The boundaries of the Districts of Thorndon and Te Aro were altered to admit of the reconstitution of the Terrace District. There are now fifty-five school districts under the Board. Attendance.—At the close of the year there were 71 schools in operation, classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, 6 schools; 15 and under 20 pupils, 4 ; 20 and under 25 pupils, 6; 25 and under 50 pupils, 23 ; 50 and under 75 pupils, 8; 75 and under 100 pupils, 4; 100 and under 150 pupils, 4; 150 and under 300 pupils, 8 ; 300 and. under 500 pupils, 6; 500 pupils and upwards, 2. Included in this number aro 8 aided schools. The additional schools opened during the year are: Taueru (reopened), Pirinoa, Mauriceville Eailway-station, Glenburn, Alfredton, Otahuao, and Whakataki, the four latter being aided schools. New buildings have been erected at Mangaone, Paikakariki, and Karori South, and extensive additions made at Fernridge, Hutt, and Pitone. Alterations and repairs have been carried out at Carterton, Kaiwara, and Newtown. An admirable site has been secured at Clyde Quay, on a lease with right of. purchase, and plans are in course of preparation for a school to be erected thereon as soon as the title is complete. This has been delayed owing to the owners of the property residing in England. The want of a school on this side of the city has been very much felt for some time ; but until the present no suitable site could be obtained. It is anticipated that the school will fill immediately it is opened, and so release the pressure now severely felt at the other city schools at Te Aro end. There are now 9,611 children attending the Board schools, of whom 4,966 are males and 4,645 are females. The following table shows the steady increase in attendance since 1876. [Not reprinted.] There are thirty-five Maoris and thirty-four half-caste scholars attending fifteen schools. Teachees.—The teaching staff numbers 242, with 15 teachers of sewing. The classification is —Head of school, 30 males, 7 females ; sole teacher, 20 males, 14 females; assistant, 20 males, 42 females ; pupil-teachers, 14 males, 95 females. Scholarships.—The scholarships held by [4 at £20 and 1 at £30] expired at the close of the year ; those held by [9 at £15 and 4 at £30] remain in existence for another year. At the examination held in November 98 candidates presented themselves. As usual the examination was held simultaneously at Grey town and Wellington. Scholarships were awarded to [10 at £15 and 4at £30]. The scholarships were open to all children of school-age attending any school. One boy who gained a scholarship two years ago, and has since regularly attended the Wellington College, again competed, and stood third on list of winners. Amended regulations will be submitted for the consideration of the department, making provision for increasing the scholarships according to the revenue available, and placing the competition more clearly on the lines indicated by the Education Act. Tbaining College.—With a view to increase the usefulness of this institution the Board in March last decided to terminate its engagement with Mr. Howard. Mr. Hardy, 8.A., head teacher of the Mount Cook Boys' School, was placed in temporary charge until complete arrangements could be made for the appointment of a permanent Principal; but the reduction by Government of all subsidies in aid of training colleges necessitated the closing of the institution. On the grounds of economy this cannot be regretted, as the cost of training the few students who entered the Training College was out of all proportion to the practical results achieved. Of the fifteen students, two obtained full D, one partial D and full E, eight obtained full E, two gained partial E, and one each failed for D and E. The report of the Acting-Principal is attached hereto. Drawing.—The drawing-master, Mr. Eiley, reports that good progress has been made in this subject at the public schools. As is pointed out, the teaching of this subject has not yet reached the higher standards on the lines laid down by the syllabus. The teachers, pupil-teachers, and students continue to attend the School of Design for special instruction on Saturdays ; and Saturday instruction classes have been successfully carried on at Masterton for the benefit of teachers in the Wairarapa schools. Many of these teachers travel a considerable distance at their own expense to attend these classes, and show an evident desire to qualify for all the requirements of this section. The School of Design technical classes are now more numerously attended than in previous years, and the inconvenience of the accommodation is felt with increased force. At the close of the year the registers showed 155 students who regularly pay the fee required. The examinations were conducted by independent examiners, who report in high terms of the work shown by the students of this institution. Mr. Eiley's report is attached. Finance.—The sum of £969 13s. Id. has been spent on rents and repairs to buildings, and £375 12s. on School of Design. These amounts are heavy charges on the Maintenance Account, and the Board hopes that the Government will grant some assistance to the School of Design in recognition of the promise made by Sir Eobert Stout, the late Minister of Education. Inspection.—The Board granted Mr. Lee leave of absence to enable him to visit England, and arranged for the standard examination, as far as Standard V., being conducted by the head teachers, the test work having been previously prepared by the Inspector. The result has not proved unsatisfactory, and no inconvenience or delay has been caused by the arrangement. The work above Standard V. was taken by Mr. Lee. Committees.—The Board has again to express its appreciation of the efforts made by Committees to assist in carrying out the provisions of the Education Act. The abolition of the special capitation allowance rendered it absolutely necessary to make very serious reductions in the amount
E.—l

allowed to .Committees: this, of course, must seriously hamper these bodies in carrying out the important duties of their office; but the situation is forced upon the Board, and any action it can take will not make its revenue more elastic. The Board hopes that the Committees will use every endeavour to carry out the works intrusted to them with unimpaired efficiency notwithstanding the forced reduction of the Board's grant-in-aid. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. E. Blair, Chairman.

Eepoet on the Wellington Training College. Sib,— Wellington, 25th February, 1888. I beg leave to forward you the following report on the working of the Wellington Training College since last May, and the results of the recent examination of students. When you did me the honour to place the institution under my temporary charge there were sixteen students on the books, one of whom, however, never returned ; so I have had practically only fifteen to work with. There were also eight probationers—young girls, who had most of them passed the Sixth Standard at the public schools, and who, by passing a small entrance examination, were allowed to continue their studies at the Training College till such time as they could be appointed pupil-teachers as vacancies occurred. These I placed principally under the care of my assistant, Miss Payne, who was a great help to me in other ways, taking the Domestic Economy and English of the E students. The visiting masters for science, music, and drill—viz., Mr. Purdie, M.A., Mr. Parker, and M. de Mey—were most assiduous in their instruction throughout the whole of the time. M. Merlet tendered his resignation as French master in June, and since then French was discontinued ; but I took advantage of the time thus liberated to give extra instruction in Latin and algebra, which I think will be of great use to those who have just passed through their E examination should they decide to go up for D next year. I worked with the students up to the date of the examination—Monday, the 9th January! Before dismissing the classes I presented the prizes to such as had merited them at the test examination held in September, a report of which I have already furnished to the Board. They were obtained by the following students: First, Mary Ann Bacon (dux); second, Laura Welch (proxime accessit) ; special prize for neatness, Lucy Leighton. The students have been exceedingly regular in their attendance, no matter what the weather may have been. I can speak very highly of their industry and attention to me, and am very pleased with the excellent relations we always preserved towards each other. I append the results of the examination for certificates, from which it will be seen that there were two complete passes in D and one partial one, nine complete passes in E and two partial ones, and two absolute failures—one in D and one in E. I now beg to thank the Board for the confidence they placed in me, and remain, &c, The Chairman, Board of Education, Wellington. Charles J. Hardy.

Eepoet on the Wellington School op Design. Sir,— School of Design, 19th December, 1887. I have the honour to submit the following report on the work of this year in connection with drawing in public schools and the School of Design. 1. The system of drawing established has made very good progress, many schools doing excellent work, especially in the lower standards. The higher standards have not yet been systematically dealt with : this, of course, is a question of time; so soon as the lower standards are worked up, and passed forward, the upper ones will do their legitimate work; but no attempt at uniformity is now made, or advisable. 2. The teachers show evident interest in their work, and a fair appreciation of the value of drawing with reference to other subjects. 3. The teachers, students, and pupil-teachers have received a regular course of instruction, and the Wairarapa has received its share of attention. 4. The numbers on the roll at present are —Teachers, 18 ; students, 24 ; pupil-teachers, 86~=128 (for the Wellington centre only); and about 30 at the Masterton centre. The attendances have been good, and the work fairly satisfactory. 5. A larger number of schools have been visited this year than in 1886, the number of teachers visited whilst at work in this subject being 165 as against 114 last year. All schools (with two exceptions) having over 40 children have been visited. No doubt, as the organization becomes more perfect, the whole of the schools will be visited. 6. The second-grade examinations held in June and December resulted as follows : —June : Blackboard practice, 92 examined, 30 passed; freehand, 106 examined, 73 passed; model, 93 examined, 32 passed : total examined 291, total passed 135 : number of individual candidates presented 171, passed 95. December: Blackboard practice, 57 examined, 24 passed; freehand, 73 examined, 31 passed ; model, 82 examined, 22 passed; geometrical, 34 examined, 18 passed; perspective, 10 examined, 4 passed : total examined 256, total passed 99 : number of individual candidates presented 155, passed 75. Total number presented 326, passed 174. Sixteen teachers now hold the full second-grade certificate. 7. The first-grade examination for scholars of the schools was held in June. Owing to the fact of a decided change being made in the system of instruction, the passes were not so large proportionately as last year. The whole of the subjects presented by the Science and Art Department for a full first-grade certificate are now taken. The number of papers taken this year is as follows : Freehand papers examined 540, passed 170 ; model papers examined 150, passed 57 ; scale papers, examined 222, passed 72 ; geometrical papers examined 205, passed 103 : total examined 1,117, total passed 402—an increase of 346 papers upon 1886. Model and scale drawing were introduced for the first time in the last examination. Number of individual successful candidates, 333. Eleven scholars now hold full certificates, seven being from Thorndon School, two from Mount Cook Boys' School, and one each from Te Aro and Newtown Schools. There is, I am afraid, too much competition in this examination. I am anxious that the teachers should understand that only those scholars fitted to come up in the ordinary course of work should be presented for examination, and not take in hand specially a large number of scholars for the purpose of drilling them up to the requisite certificate pass. School of Design. 8. The School of Design has considerably increased its usefulness during the year. The number of students has increased from 101 in 1886 to 155, as follows : First quarter, 103; second quarter, 117; third quarter, 154; fourth quarter, 155. Including the teachers in the service of the Board, the total number of students receiving instruction every week is 283. A second year's course of instruction in technical and ordinary classes has been given, and a very marked improvement has taken place in the style and general quality of the work. 9. The mechanical and engineering class, under Mr. Herzog, C.E., has done some very thorough work during the year, and has been greatly appreciated by those in attendance. The work is practical, students being given the principles and theories of each machine or part they are engaged upon ; and, in some instances, working models have been made. 10. The architectural class, under Mr. J. Charlesworth, architect, has made good progress. This class was for a time under Mr. F. J. de Clere, who resigned through illness, and again temporarily under Mr. Morison ; so that no examination has been held. The work in this class is especially suited to carpenters, builders, &c, and the instruction practical throughout. A model of a spiral staircase has been made by two students from working drawings, and is the best proof of the practical character of the work done. 11. The mathematical class, under Mr. Herzog, C.E., has proved useful, as being specially adapted to the two former classes, the instruction being applied to works of mechanical and architectural construction. 12. The modelling class, under Mr. Morison, has made rapid progress. The work shown in this section speaks for itself. It is hoped that the practical value of this class will be demonstrated during the forthcoming year. 13. The day classes generally are well attended. Several of the students are working with a view to utilising their knowledge. 14. Branch classes have been established at Newtown School under Mr. Bennett with success, the work being of good quality; and at Masterton School under Mr. J. Gant. 15. The works of the students were exhibited at the last exhibition of the Fine Arts Association.
E.—l
66
16. About forty studies have been received from the South Kensington Art Department, illustrating the nature of the course of study, and are of great practical value to the students. 17. The technical-art library has been increased, by thirty-one works, all upon technical and trade subjects. 18. New models to the extent of about £50 have been purchased from London, and a further supply to the extent of about £60 are now on their way out. 19. I have endeavoured to raise the necessary funds by subscription and by entertainments, but find it impossible to continue such a course. I trust the Government will aid us in the forthcoming year, or it is impossible to continue successfully the working of the school. 20. We are still suffering from want of accommodation; the existing arrangements seriously hamper the classes, and it is impossible to instruct the classes efficiently under the present circumstances. I trust we shall be properly housed at an early date, so that the development of the school will not be seriously interfered with. 21. I take this opportunity of publicly thanking the instructors connected with mo in the School of Design for the energetic way in which they have carried out their duties, although the remuneration has been so poor, and I trust we shall shortly be able to pay them at least fairly for the work they do. In conclusion, I beg to thank the Chairman and members of the School of Design Committee for the full manner in which they have met all my suggestions respecting the school, and I trust the energy and appreciation shown by myself and those connected with me will be a satisfactory proof of our good intentions. I have, &c, The Secretary, Education Board, Ap.thur D. Eiley. Wellington District.
HAWKE'S BAY. Sik, — Board of Education, Napier, 31st January, 1888. In compliance with section 112 of the Education Act, the Board of this Education District has-to present a summary report of the progress of education for the year ended on the 31st December. This is the tenth annual report which the Board has presented since the passing of the Act in 1877. The Board consists of the following members: Mr. J. D. Ormond, M.H.E. (Chairman), Captain Eussell, M.H.E., Mr. Horace Baker, Mr. J. W. Carlile, Mr. Eechab Harding, Dr. W. I. Spencer, Eev. D. Sidey, Mr. Fred. Sutton, and Mr. George H. Swan. During the year the Board has held, twelve meetings for the transaction of business. The attendance of members at each meeting has been nearly the same as in former years. The meetings are held on the third Tuesday in each month, in the old Provincial Council Chamber, which adjoins the Board's offices. School Disteicts. —Only one new school district has been constituted during the year, this being Maunga-atua, near Woodville. There are now forty school districts under the Board; and forty-five schools, containing sixty-nine separate departments, were in operation at the close of the year. Two of the districts having failed to elect a School Committee at the annual meeting in April, a School Commissioner has been appointed for each under section 67 of the Act. The Board has decided to amend as far as possible the existing boundaries of school districts, so as to meet the present circumstances of each; and the Inspector, who has a full knowledge of the topographical features of the whole of the district, is engaged, as opportunity offers, in preparing modified boundaries, which will be submitted to the Board at an early date. School-buildings.—Attention was drawn, in the Board's report for 1886, that in consequence of the large increase in the school attendance it had been found necessary to incur liabilities for the erection of school-buildings largely in excess of the Board's anticipated income for 1886-87. During the year school-buildings or additions to existing buildings have been carried out at Tologa Bay, Waerenga-a-hika, and Gisborne, in the Cook County; at Napier, Port Ahuriri, Hastings, and Puketapu, in the Hawke's Bay County; and at Te Ongaonga, Waipukurau, Takapau, Norsewood, and Maunga-atua, in the Waipawa County—at a cost of £3,585 Os. lid.; and at the close of the school year the overdraft at the bank on account of school-buildings amounted to £2,399 4s. 3d. The increase in the school attendance during the year has created new demands, which are becoming more pressing day by day. The very limited means placed at the Board's disposal by the Government for building purposes, and the rapid increase in the school population of the district—an increase not approached in any other education district —have added greatly to the Board's difficulties from time to time; hence, after ten years' work under the Education Act, there still remain districts without school-buildings, and others where the accommodation is insufficient for the children attending the schools. As regards providing residences for the teachers, the Board is quite unable to do so until the more urgent needs of providing schoolhouses for all the children of the district have been met. At the present time the sum of £337 13s. sd. is annually paid to teachers as house allowance, but the Board recognises that no allowance which it is able to give will compensate for the loss of a suitable residence in outlying districts, where home comforts are necessarily few, and where teachers of experience and skill can hardly be induced to go even under the most favourable conditions. In the ten years that have elapsed since the Board came into existence, 29 school sites have been acquired by purchase or otherwise; and 39 schoolhouses, containing 79 separate class-rooms, together with 29 teachers' residences, have been built. New Schools opened.—The following new schools have been opened during the year : Makauri and Te Karaka, in the Cook County; Eissington and Napier Side School, in Hawke's Bay County; and Matamau and Maunga-atua, in Waipawa County. Tologa Bay and Waerengakuri would also have been opened before the close of the year had not difficulties been experienced in obtaining teachers, &c.
67
E.—l
School Attendance.—The increase in the school attendance for the year has again been most marked. For the year ended December, 1886, the average roll number for all the schools was 4,984, and for the corresponding period of 1887 the average roll number was 5,514-25, or an increase of nearly 11 per cent. The average attendance in the schools for 18S6 was 3,90675, and for 1887 it was 4,31925, or an increase of more than 105 per cent. The 45 schools under the Board are classed according to attendance as follows: — 10 schools contain each an average attendance of less than 25 pupils. 12 schools contain an average varying from 25 to 50 pupils. 9 „ „ „ 50 to 100 „ 6 „ „ „ 100 to 150 „ 5 „ „ „ 150 to 300 „ 3 „ „ „ 300 to 500 „ 1 school contains an average of 656 pupils. Total ... 45 Teachers.—ln the schools 145 teachers and one sewing mistress were engaged—viz., 45 principal or head teachers, 38 assistant teachers, and 62 pupil-teachers. Ebgulaeity at School.—The Board regrets to find that the regularity of children at school' shows no improvement for the year. Compared with the average roll number, the average attendance for the year is hardly 78-4 per cent., which means that 21-6 children out of every 100 children were absent from the schools each day they were opened during the year. This is very unsatisfactory, and shows a falling-off compared with the year 1885 of about '4 per cent. The regularity of the children attending school in the different districts varies greatly; but on the average it is better in the country districts than it is in the larger townships and boroughs. In the six schools which are situated within boroughs the difference in the regularity of children is very striking, and calls for the active interference of the Committees in several of the districts. At Woodville, for example, the average attendance for the year was only 68 per cent, of the pupils returned as attending school, or more than 10 per cent, below the average for the whole district. At Hastings the average attendance was 741 per cent, of the roll number, or 42 per cent, below the average for the district. At the Napier Central School the average attendance was 794 per cent, of the roll number, or a little over 1 per cent, above the average for the district; whilst at the Hastings Street School the average attendance was 736 per cent, of the roll number during the nine months the school was open, or 4-5 per cent, below the average for the district. At Port Ahuriri the average attendance for the year was slightly in excess of the average for the district; whilst at Gisborne the average attendance was actually 863 per cent, of the roll number, or 8 per cent, above the average for the district. Under the Education Act Amendment Act of 1885 all children attending school are required to make at least 60 attendances during each quarter, or 240 attendances in a year ; but it is clear that the attendance clause is not enforced by the majority of the School Committees. At Port Ahuriri, Waipawa, and Gisborne the attendance clause has been enforced with gratifying results, the attendance at the first-named school having improved more than 4 per cent, during the year. The Inspector, in his report, deals with the question of school attendance, and offers several suggestions with the view of lessening the cost of dealing with cases of irregular attendance by simplifying the machinery of compulsion. The proposal is to improve the working of the Act by granting powers to the Inspector or Inspectors in each district to deal with cases of irregular attendance at the date of their half-yearly visits of inspection to the different schools. The following table gives the average weekly roll number and the " working average " attendance in all the schools under the Board for each quarter since March, 1878. [Not reprinted.] Inspection Results.—The results of the standard examinations seem to show that under the new regulations greater demands are made upon the pupils than under the old regulations. It may be that the change has caused only a temporary stoppage in the rate of progress as estimated by standard passes, and that when all the schools are fully alive to the work required from them the results will be greater than they have been since the new regulations came into force. It is to be regretted, however, that all the schools, working as they necessarily do under so many diverse conditions, should be required to produce exactly similar results in order to obtain a "pass" in the examination. The Board ventures to express the opinion that a change is called for in the standard work in this direction. The Inspector in his report to the Board points out the improvement which has taken place in the tone of the schools, and in the manners of the children generally, but he expresses the opinion that a harmony between the mental, physical, and moral training of children should receive greater attention from teachers. Calisthenics, the Inspector recommends, should be taught to the girls in all the schools. The following table shows the number of pupils who have passed in the standards each year since 1878. [Not reprinted.] In the examination of Standards V. and VI. a very satisfactory increase is shown in the number of presentations compared with former years, but it is to bo regretted that so few children in the district remain sufficiently long at school to enter for the more important tests which are the special features of the examination in the two highest standards in this district. It would appear from the school returns that not twenty-four children in every hundred who attend school ever receive any kind of instruction of a grade higher than the Fourth Standard. In Standard V. 254 pupils, and in Standard VI. 102 pupils, took the papers at the synchronous examination in November. On the results of Standard VI. the Board grants its scholarships, and all pupils therefore in this standard, and who are below fifteen, years, really compete for the prizes which the Board gives to those children who pass best in the work which the Government consider as necessary for pupils when completing their final examination in the primary schools.

Scholabships.—This year the Board, with tho view of widening the advantages of the scholarships, lowered their value to £10, with an additional £20 to pupils who, living beyond the reach of a high school, are compelled to reside away from their homes. The alteration, which has been approved by the Minister, has enabled the Board to grant, on the results of the November examination, nineteen scholarships, ten of them being tenable for two years, and nine for one year. The Board is pleased to report that those pupils who have hitherto succeeded in obtaining scholarships are doing well in their several callings. Pupil-teacheks. —At the close of the year sixty-four pupil-teachers were engaged in the Board schools. The Inspector reports upon the generally satisfactory character of the work done by the pupil-teachers in their annual examination, and, as the training college scholarships which were formally placed at the Board's disposal have been withdrawn, it is hoped that funds will be available next year to grant special prizes to those among the pupil-teachers who distinguish themselves in the examination. The sum of £358 6s. Bd. was paid last year for the instruction of the pupil-teachers. Sewing.—The sewing examination of all the schools continues to be carried out by a committee of ladies, who meet at Napier in November each year, and examine the specimens sent from the different schools. The examination took place on the 10th November and two following days. Thirty-three schools sent in specimens of work for examination. The specimens were classed according to standards as follows: Standard 1., 318; Standard 11., 288; Standard 111., 259; Standard IV., 155; Standard V., 104; Standard VI., 30: total, 1,154. The Board desires to express its appreciation of the services rendered by the examiners, more especially those who have continued to examine since the inauguration of the scheme. The reports of the examiners will be found appended [not reprinted], and the Board ventures to hope that the valuable suggestions and recommendations they contain will receive due consideration from the Government. The prizes which are annually offered for competition by Captain Eussell, for the best seating and patching a well-worn pair of trousers, the best-made nightshirt, and the best darning of a pair of well'-worh worsted stockings, are keenly competed for each year. The awards will be found among the results of the sewing examination. Evening Classes. —Special attention has been called by the Inspector to the desirability of establishing evening classes where pupils who leave school before completing their standard course should be compelled to attend until the Sixth Standard has been reached, and where those who have passed the standards could carry on the preparation of some technical subject. The results of such a scheme would no doubt be valuable, but the cost is beyond the meaus of the Board to carry out. The advanced classes in connection with the Napier Athenseum, as referred to in a former report, have been carried on witli fair success, but the small fees are • insufficient to recoup the teachers, and it is probable that they will shortly be discontinued. A teachers' Saturday class has been formed in Napier for the preparation of teachers in the subjects required for a pass in Classes D and E of the Government regulations. About a dozen teachers have availed themselves of the opportunities offered, and it is expected that the scope of the class will be widened during tho current year. Committees.—The Board again desires to express its appreciation of the good work which is being done by the School Committees in their respective districts. The annual balance-sheets of the Committees show that a comparatively large sum of money was provided by them for schoolbuilding and improvements during the year, in addition to the moneys paid to teachers in districts where the schools are subsidised by the Board. Income and Expenditube.—The whole income for the year received by the Board, including building grant, was £20,922 17s. 3d. Of this amount, £17,345 7s. 2d. was School Fund, provided for the ordinary work of carrying on the schools and for inspection, and £3,577 10s. Id. was Building Fund. The School Fund was augmented by a balance in hand from the previous year of £1,222 3s. 7d., making a total of £18,567 10s. 9d. available. The expenditure shows that the cost of maintenance of the schools, including salaries of Board's officers, salaries of teachers, grants to School Committees for cleaning, firing, &c, bonuses to teachers, house allowances, instruction of pupil-teachers, and inspection, amounted to £16,834 7s. 5d., leaving available a balance of £1,733 3s. 4d., out of which the sum of £271 18s. Id. was voted in aid of the Building Fund, leaving a balance in hand to credit of the School Fund of £1,461 Is. 3d. The Building Fund, for the year was as follows: —Income: General Government grant, £3,207 125.; special grants, £369 18s. Id. : total, £3,577 10s. Id. Expenditure :On buildings, sites, plans, &c, £4,272 6s. 9d., which, added to £1,704 7s. 7d., the debit balance of last year, leaves a debit balance at the close of the year of £2,399 4s. 3d. From these statements it will appear that the ordinary expenditure was considerably within the ordinary income after providing for all necessary cost of maintenance. The Board has endeavoured to estimate how far the ordinary income for next year, calculated on the changes determined on by the Legislature, will provide for the necessary expenditure, with the following result: — Income. £ s. d. (a.) Strict average attendance, December quarter, 4,251, at £3 15s. capitation ... ... ... ... 15,941 5 0 (b.) Scholarship grant, at Is. 6d. per head ... ... 318 16 0 (c.) Inspection subsidy ... ... ... ... 300 0 0 Total income School Fund ... ...£16,560 1 0

Building Fund.—The Building Fund still remains in the same unsatisfactory condition that it has before occupied, and it is hoped the Legislature will take steps to insure sufficient provision for enabling the Board to provide fitting and sufficient school accommodation in future. I am, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. D. Oemond, Chairman.

MABLBOBOUGH. Sib,— Education Board Office, Blenheim, 11th April, 1888. I have the honour to forward you the report of the Education Board of the District of Marlborough for the year ending 31st December, 1887. The Boaed. —The three retiring members were re-elected; and the names of those constituting the Board are as follows: Mr. Seymour (Chairman), the Hon. Major Baillie, Messrs. Conolly, Henderson, Lambert, McHutcheson, Parker, Paul, and Ward. The Board held thirteen meetings during the year. Schools. The Blenheim School was divided as to sexes, and the girls placed under the care of a head-mistress. Aided schools were opened at Endeavour Inlet, Waikakaho, Deep Creek, and Hitaua ; the aided school at Bobin Hood's Bay was closed during the March quarter, but reopened in April. The year closed with thirty-five schools in work. Attendance.—On the 31st December, 1886, the average weekly roll was 1,624, and the working average of the last quarter of that year was 1,261. At the end of 1887 the working average of the last quarter had increased to 1,311. Teachers. The staff consisted of 53 of all classes, of whom 26 were males and 27 females. Scholarships.—These are two in number, tenable for two years. Buildings.—On this account the year began with a credit balance of £209 2s. Bd., to which must be added the Government grant, £1,083 9s. 7d., making a total of £1,292 12s. 3d. We have spent under this head £1,189 16s. Bd., leaving a balance of £102 15s. 7d. to carry on. We have 10— E. 1.
E.—l

provided the chief part of the cost of two new schools and a teacher's residence, besides numerous other additions and improvements. General Account.—The year began with a credit balance of £805 3s. 3d., and we received during the year for maintenance £4,375 ss. 6d. : total, £5,180 Bs. 9d. Our expenditure out of this was £4,937 9s. 5d., leaving a credit balance of £192 19s. 4d., which, together with the credit balance of £102 15s. sd. on the Building Account above recorded, leaves a balance to the credit of the Board on both accounts at the end of the year of £295 14s. lid. It might appear from this that our expenses had, during the year, considerably exceeded our actual income ; but such is not the case. The last payment made from the Treasury, of which advice was received in December, 1887,--having been delayed in its transit to the Bank of New Zealand, Blenheim, arrived too late to be included amongst the year's receipts, but will appear in the account for 1888. Due allowance being made for this contingency, it will be found that we have not exceeded our annual allowance. I am, &c, A. P. Seymour, Chairman, Marlborough Education Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

NELSON. Bra,!— Education Office, Nelson, 9th February, 1888. I have the honour to submit to you a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board during the year ending on the 31st December, 1887. Meetings of the Board. —The Board has held thirteen meetings, the average number of members present at each meeting being seven. Members op the Boabd. —After the election of three members on the 12th March, the Board was constituted as follows : The Hon. J. W. Barnicoat, Chairman ; the Hon. Joseph Shephard, the Bishop of Nelson, Messrs. Harkness, Phillips, Tarrant, Clayden, Dencker, and Hursthouse. Number of Schools.—Eighty-eight schools were at work at the close of the year. Twentytwo of these were aided schools receiving capitation allowance at the rate of £4 for each scholar in daily attendance, and Committee allowance at the rate of ss. for each scholar. Five small schools were also paid a capitation allowance of £4 and Committee allowance at the rate of nearly 10s. a head. The average attendance at each of these twenty-seven schools is no more than sixteen. Teaching Staff. —There were 153 teachers of all grades on the staff at the close of 1887, the female teachers outnumbering the male teachers by nearly two to one (that is, 101 to 52). Thirty-two probationers, who may be considered as equivalent to pupil-teachers, are included in this list. Attendance of Scholars.—The number of scholars on the roll has increased from 5,145 in 1886 to 5,413. The average attendance in 1886 was 3,971. Last year it was 4,186. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. W. Barnicoat, Chairman.

GEEY. Sib,— Education Office, Greymouth, 28th March, 1888. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of the Education Act, the Grey Education Board has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year 1887. As provided by clause 4 of " The Westland and Grey Education Boards Act, 1885," the Board at the beginning of the year consisted of six members, three of whom were nominated by the Governor and three elected. The nominated members were Messrs. Nancarrow, Marshall, and White; and the elected, Messrs. Kerr, Petrie, and Helms. "The Westland and Grey Education Boards Continuance Act, 1887," provided that the number of members should be increased to seven, four nominated and three elected ; and Mr. Barkley was nominated to the extra seat. Clause '4 of the same Act provided that the members then in office should hold their seats until the 31st March, 1888. No change in the personnel of the Board occurred during the year. Mr. Nancarrow held the office of Chairman of the Board at the beginning of the year, and was re-elected at the meeting in April. He was also appointed to represent the Board on the Greymouth High School Board, and as a School Commissioner. The Board held eighteen meetings during the year. The number of schools at the end of the year was twenty, as against seventeen at the end of the year 1886. Dobson School took the place of Wallsend (side-school to Brunnerton); and two aided schools were recognised—one at Lake Brunner and the other at Blackball. Two new school districts—Dobson and Westbrook —were created, making the total number of districts seventeen, managed by the same number of Committees. The following is the classification of schools according to the average attendance : Under 15 pupils, 4 schools; 15 and under 20 pupils, 4 schools ;20 and under 25 pupils, 1 school; 25 and under 50 pupils, 5 schools; 50 and under 75 pupils, 2 schools; 75 and under 100 pupils, 1 school; 100 and under 150 pupils, 2 schools ; 300 and under 500 pupils, 1 school: total schools, 20. The average attendance for the four quarters of the year was 1,193; the average for the first quarter being 1,128, and for the last quarter 1,241. At the end of the year 48 teachers were employed by the Board, 21 male and 27 female teachers. Of the total number, 15 were pupil-teachers. The Board received from all sources during the year, for general purposes, the sum of £5,092 7s. 9d., and expended £5,591 7s. 9d., thereby having a debit balance at the end of the year of £499. This was principally caused by the Board having made some increases in salaries and staffs at the beginning of the year, in the expectation of a considerable increase in average attendance. Owing to sickness and other causes this expectation was not realised. The deficit would have been much greater had not the Board, at its meeting in Jane, decided upon making considerable reductions in salaries and staff. Had the educational revenue been curtailed to the full extent proposed by the Government, this Board would have found it necessary to reduce the salaries paid to its teachers to such an extent as to be equal to an entire subversion of the public-school system in this district. The Board would most earnestly press upon your attention the necessity for devising some means by which the payments to teachers throughout the colony could be more nearly equalised. The following table will help to show the urgent necessity for some measure of the kind :—
72
E.—l
Comparative Table of Average Salaries paid to Sole and Head Teachers as for the Quarter ending 31st December, 1886, as shown in the Minister's Report for 1887.
The salaries for this district as shown in the above table were reduced by 10 per cent, in June of last year, and have since been subjected to a further reduction of fully 10 per cent., and in a few cases 20 to 30 per cent., to meet the reduction of revenue caused by diminution of capitation grant, &c. Comparing other items of expenditure, a similar discrepancy will be found to exist; and the reduction of the capitation grant, while compelling this Board to discontinue altogether giving grants to Committees for incidental expenditure, still allows other Boards to give what may be called liberal grants for that purpose. I may venture to assert that, if different scales of salaries for various parts of the colony should be allowed to exist at all, the difference should be decidedly in favour of this district, seeing that almost every necessity of life has to be procured from outside its boundaries. •There is no doubt, however, that our teachers would be quite satisfied if placed on an equal footing with other parts of the colony. Our teachers have to submit to the same examination and to work under the same regulations as those in other districts, and they may be excused for regarding a system which permits the existence of such glaring inequalities as being radically bad. On Building Account the Board received during the year, from all sources, the sum of £1,199 17s. Id., and expended £1,286 17s. 6d., having a debit balance at the end of the year of £87 os. sd. A new building was erected at Dobson, the building, furniture, &c, costing altogether £454 os. 9d., more than a third of the Board's revenue for the year. The building of an additional room at the Greymouth School, with furniture and repairs, cost £345 Is. 6d. The balance of £487 15s. 3d. was distributed amongst eleven schools, and seven schools received no money for building purposes. At the end of the year fully £2,000 was required to meet the necessities of the district. Several school-buildings, including that at Greymouth, need painting badly, and unless this be soon attended to a very much larger expenditure will be necessary in the future. Hatter's, Dobson, Cobden, Greymouth, and Dunganville feel much the want of more floor-space. A teacher's house is required at Kynnersley, Maori Gully, Taylorville, Dobson, and Cobden. After the statement made as to the teachers' salaries, it is hardly necessary to say that the Board can devote no portion of its ordinary capitation grant to repairing, painting, or any work whatever connected with the preservation of school-buildings. The limited income of the Board prevents any allowance being made to teachers who are not provided with a residence. These teachers are therefore at a disadvantage compared with those for whom residences are provided. The Board feels it to be its duty to direct your notice to the fact that the neglect of necessary repairs to school-buildings at the present time will probably lead to the necessity for much greater expense in the future; and that therefore the doling-out to the Board of an entirely insufficient grant cannot be considered true economy. If the Government cannot possibly provide the necessary funds, it would be better if legal power were given to the Boards to raise money for the purpose. The Board offered two scholarships for competition at the beginning of the year —one for Class A, scholars not over fifteen years of age on the last day of December preceding the examination; and one for Class D, scholars not over sixteen years of age at the same date; the value of each to be £50 per annum, and to be tenable for two years. For Class A eleven presented themselves for examination, and for Class D also eleven. The scholarship for Class A was taken with 826 marks out of 1,045, and that for Class D with 718 out of a possible 1,060, or 79 and 67 per cent, respectively. Both scholars are attending the Dunedin High School. Considering the very small grants the Board is able to make to Committees, the latter deserve credit for the manner in which they have administered the affairs of the various districts, and for the unabated interest they display in educational matters. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eichaed Nangaeeow, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sib,— Hokitika, Ist March, 1888. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to transmit the report of the Education Board of the District of Westland for the year ending on the 31st December, 1887. At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following persons: Messrs. McLean W. Jack, Charles Bose, Eichard John Seddon, elected by the local Committees; and Messrs. Joseph Grimmond, John McWhirter, and Henry Eichardson Eae, nominated by the Government. By "The Westland and Grey Education Boards Act Continuance Act, 1887," the number of members to be nominated was increased to four ; and Mr. Gerhard Mueller was selected by the Government to make up the number. This appointment was regarded by the Board as a most judicious one, as Mr. Mueller has taken an active part in educational affairs from the earliest settlement of the district. The Board held seventeen meetings during the year—twelve ordinary and five special meetings. The average attendance of members at the meetings was four. The following is the individual attendance : Mr. Grimmond, 10 meetings ; Mr. Jack, 15 ; Mr. McWhirter, 11; Mr. Mueller (appointed in July), 7 ; Mr. Eae, 9; Mr. Eose, 12; and Mr. Seddon, 8. Messrs. Grimmond and Seddon were absent for some months, attending the meetings of Parliament, and received leave of absence from the Board. Public Schools. —There are now twenty-four schools in this district, another small aided school having been added to the list since the last report. This school is situated at the Waikukupa Eiver, half-way between Gillespie's and Okarito, and about twelve miles distant from both. At present there are only five children of school-age attending ; and the cost to the Board is at the rate of £5 per head per annum. There are now five schools of this kind in the district, having a total average attendance of forty-nine, for which the Board receives, under the present regulations, £3 15s. per head, and pays £5, besides incurring some slight extra expense for inspection, &c. Although this may appear to be a high rate of cost, and is a decided drag upon its very limited resources, the Board has always regarded the outlying settlers as being entitled to quite as much (if not more) consideration as those located in more thickly populated parts of the colony, and has done its utmost to give them some of the benefits which the Act provides. And although it " goes without saying " that the quality of the education that can be provided at such schools is not to be compared with that obtainable at the larger public schools in the district, yet the Board holds the opinion that, if no more than the three Es be taught, the cost of maintaining them would be fully justified. The late retrenchment however, it is feared, will compel the Board to discontinue the aid at present afforded to the smallest of these schools, and thus condemn the unfortunate children of the pioneers of the country to grow up in hopeless ignorance. Tbachees. —There are now sixty-three teachers (including pupil-teachers and monitors) in the Board's employ, classified at the end of the year as follows : — A. Certificated Teachers. —In charge of schools : Males, 10; females, 1: total, 11. Assistants: Males, 3 ; females, 7 : total, 10. B. Uhcertificated. —In charge of schools : Males, 6; females, 7: total, 13. Assistants : Males, 0; females, 3 : total, 3. C.

At the recent teachers' examination four of the uncertificated teachers and one pupil-teacher were successful, so that there are now twenty-five certificated and thirteen uncertificated teachers. There are also three teachers of needlework. Buildings.—The new school at Hokitika was completed, and formally opened at the Queen's Jubilee celebration, when it was named " the Victoria School." The building is in every way a credit to the town, and the Board desires to express its thanks to the late and the present Ministers of Education for their wise liberality in replacing a perishable building with so substantial and commodious a structure. The Board has also erected a caretaker's cottage at the Hokitika School. A new school has been completed at Bruce Bay. A teacher's residence has been built at Stafford, and another at Gillespie's. Eepairs that were absolutely necessary have been effected at several schools, but the rapid decay of timber in the moist climate of Westland causes constantly-increasing demands upon the Board's funds to preserve the buildings in anything like habitable condition. Eesidences are urgently needed at several schools in the district, and until they are provided the Board must continue to pay the teachers an allowance for rent, the amount of which represents the interest of a sum of money quite sufficient to erect suitable buildings. Staffs, Salaries, and Committee Allowances.—The amended scale of staffs, salaries, and Committee allowances has been found to work well, and has given general satisfaction. The allotment of teachers to the several large schools, though considerably less liberal than those of many other education districts, has not in any way detrimentally affected the results, and the extra work thrown upon the teachers has been zealously and cheerfully performed. The salaries paid by the Board to its teachers, when the cost of living in Westland is taken into consideration, are much below those paid by the majority of Education Boards in the colony. The allowances to School Committees are also on a very moderate scale. The balance-sheet attached to this report shows that the Board's expenditure has been kept within its income, and it is much to be deplored that the recent decision of Parliament will so injuriously affect the Board's financial position as to make it impossible to carry on the present satisfactory arrangements. Belying, however, on the promise made by the Hon. the Minister of Education when the question was before Parliament, the Board trusts that in. an exceptional case like that of Westland such concessions will be granted as will prevent any of the Board's country or small schools being closed. The following statement shows how the decision of Parliament affects the district :—
Table showing Effect of Recent Reductions in Payments to Board for the Year now current, supposing the Attendance to remain the same.
Unless, therefore, some relief can be afforded, the Board will be compelled, most unwillingly, to close eight of the smallest schools, having an aggregate attendance of ninety-two, and costing the Board in salaries alone £460 per annum. It will thus be seen that, to make the necessary reductions, education in Westland must suffer. The Board's administrative expenses, as shown by the balance-sheet, are down to a minimum. The Inspector and Secretary is already considerably underpaid when the nature of his duties and the work he has to perform are taken into consideration, together with the fact that rents and the cost of living are much higher here than in many other parts of the colony. To attempt any further reduction of teachers' salaries would result in driving the best teachers out of the district and discouraging those that remain, and the Board trusts that such a necessity may not be forced upon it. A small reduction is possible in the allowances to Committees, provided that parents and the public generally come to their assistance by voluntary contributions towards providing fuel, &c, during the winter months. The Board considers that it is quite within the power of the Minister, in the case of Westland, either to make special capitation grants to schools where the attendance is under fifty pupils, or to pay the capitation grant on the " working " instead of the " strict " average. The concessions asked for are justifiable on the following grounds : — (1.) That the Board's limited income prior to the adoption of the retrenchment proposals had

forced the Board to cut down staff salaries, Committees' allowances, and administrative expenses to the lowest limits. (2.) That, owing to the sparsely-settled condition of the district, and the existence of so many small centres of population, a comparatively large number of small schools must be provided and maintained. (3.) That the weather in Westland is exceptionally unfavourable to a good attendance. The almost constant downpour of rain that prevails materially reduces the daily attendance, and seriously diminishes the Board's income. The meteorological returns show the rainfall of the West Coast of the Middle Island to be about five times as great as the average of all the other stations in New Zealand. Next, and in addition to the unfavourable climate, the long distances and bad tracks over which many of the children have to travel cause irregularity of attendance, and help to reduce the daily average attendance. These drawbacks were serious enough when the Board's revenue depended upon the working average—they will be intensified when the strict average attendance is substituted. Pupil-teachebs.—The number of pupil-teachers as given above is the same as last year. Two requests for the appointment of a pupil-teacher have been made by School Committees ; but the Board, apart from financial considerations, is disinclined to add to the number at present employed in this district. The Board desires to reiterate the opinion already several times expressed in its reports, and largely indorsed by other Boards and educational experts, that the examination and classification of pupil-teachers should be entirely taken in hand by the department. Scholarships.—There is at the present time only one scholarship held under the Board's regulations, one having expired on the 31st December ; whilst, owing to an unfortunate informality, the scholarship competed, for in January has not yet been awarded; but, the difficulty having been removed by the Minister of Education, the award will be made before this report is received by the department. The value of the Board's scholarships is £50 per annum, and they are tenable for two years. In last -year-'s report the Board gave expression to its views on the subject of scholarships generally, and desires to commend those opinions to the consideration of the present Government: — " Seeing that the funds devoted to the establishment of these scholarships are derived from the taxpayers of the colony as a whole, the Board is of the opinion that the present system of distributing the grant amongst the education districts in proportion to the average daily attendance of scholars not only gives an undue advantage to thickly populated districts, but is also wrong in principle. It is particularly unfair to Westland, and similar districts, inasmuch as the older and wealthier provinces are already possessed of valuable endowments for secondary education, derived from large reserves of the public lands of the colony. It is presumed that the object of devoting public money to the foundation of scholarships is to assist in discovering and developing, for the benefit of the whole community, the best youthful talent in the colony, wherever it may be found; but, under the present management, not only is there no guarantee that these prizes shall fall to the lot of the most deserving youths of the colony, but, as each district has its own scholarship regulations, it is highly probable that the successful candidates in one district may be much inferior in ability to some of the unsuccessful ones in another. It appears to the Board that the expenditure of large sums of money for this purpose can only be justified on the assumption that the greatest possible value obtainable is secured to the State in return, and that, to insure this result, the whole of the amount voted should be applied to the foundation of scholarships open for competition to all scholars attending the public schools of New Zealand, irrespective of locality. If this were done it would be easy, and also very advantageous, to frame regulations so that candidates satisfying certain conditions at these examinations could obtain Civil Service certificates, thus holding out an additional inducement to scholars to present themselves as competitors. Another very useful purpose would be served by thus making the scholarship examinations colonial instead of provincial —viz., the opportunity it would afford of comparing, with some approach to accuracy, the relative proficiency of the scholars in the several education districts." I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eichaed John Seddon, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTEEBUEY. Sib, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1888. In accordance with clause 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury have the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1887. Boaed.—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members : The Eev. George Barclay, the Eev. T. Jasper Smyth, Messrs. Melville Gray, Bichard Alfred Barker, John Talbot, Charles J. Foster, L.L.D., John Jackson, W. Barker Howell, and S. W. Goldsmith (Chairman). The Eev. T. Jasper Smyth, Bichard Alfred Barker, and W. Barker Howell retired in terms of section 15 of the Act. Five candidates were nominated by the School Committees for these vacancies, namely : The Eev. T. Jasper Smyth, E. A. Barker, W. B. Howell, James Bruce, and William Henry Beckett; and the voting resulted in the election of the Eev. T. Jasper Smyth and Messrs. E. A. Barker and W. B. Howell. One extraordinary vacancy also occurred by the resignation of Dr. Charles J. Foster. For this vacancy two candidates were nominated by the School Committees—namely, Mr. Job Brown and Mr. E. H. Pearpoint—and the voting resulted in
77
E.—l
the election of Mr. E. H. Pearpoint. At the usual meeting of the Board in the month of April Mr. S. W. Goldsmith was re-elected Chairman. Twelve regular meetings of the Board and one special meeting have been held during the year, on the first Thursday in the month (except January, when it was the third Thursday), the average attending being 7'lo. The officers of the Board have been the same as at the end of last year. Numbbe of Schools.—On the 31st December, 1886, there were forty-eight schools in operation. One new school has since been opened (Totara Valley), making the number of schools in operation at the end of 1887 forty-nine in number. Four new districts have been proclaimed— namely, Arundel, Beaconsfield, Fairfield, and North Waitaki. At Beaconsfield the settlers have raised £50 to meet the Board's requirements, and this school will be proceeded with at an early date. In some of the new districts, however, the residents are too poor to contribute for the purpose of erecting school-buildings, seeing that it is as much as they can do to raise the sum required by the Board to supplement the teachers' salaries. Attendance.—The forty-nine schools under the control of the Board, and in operation at the end of 1887, are classified in respect of attendance as follows : Under 25 pupils in average attendance, 11; between 25 and 50 pupils, 25; between 50 and 100 pupils, 6 ; between 100 and 300 pupils, 5 ; between 300 and 500 pupils, 1; between 500 and 1,000 pupils, 1: total, 49. The number of Maoris and half-caste scholars attending school in this district is : Pure Maoris, 7 boys and 5 girls; 1 half-caste girl living as a member of a native tribe; and 1 half-caste girl living among Europeans. The number of scholars shows a steady increase on the returns of former years, the roll number at the end of the year being 4,584, as against 4,369 at the end of 1886, an increase of 215. The average attendance for the same period was 3,632, as against 3,543 at the end of the preceding year, showing an increase here of 89, or, for the year, 3,598 against 3,415 in 1886. The ratio of average attendance to roll number is about 78 per cent, for the year. A very inclement, rainy season reduced the average attendance in the second and third quarters very considerably; for in the first and last quarters of the year the average attendance was exceedingly good. Whooping-cough and diphtheria have had an untoward influence in checking attendance. The following table shows the attendance in this district since the Board was established. [Not reprinted.] The balance-sheet, duly certified by the Provincial Auditor, is appended. The Building Account shows an expenditure of £2,123 3s. 9d., against receipts £2,160 Is., leaving a balance of £36 17s. 3d., which sum, however, has been more than pledged, although the vouchers had not been presented for payment at the end of the year. The Maintenance Account shows a balance at the end of the year of £1,712 ss. 4d., from which the sum of £1,285 18s. 7d. must be deducted on account of money received from the School Commissioners, which will be balanced by that amount less in the monthly capitation grant paid by the Treasury for salaries in February, leaving the actual balance as £426 6s. 9d. Aided Schools. —There were twelve aided or subsidised schools at the end of the year, whose average attendance was less than twenty-five. Contributions are required from the residents of these twelve districts, which supplement the sum at the Board's disposal for the payment of the teachers' salaries. The new regulations with a view to retrenchment in expenditure by the payment of capitation on the strict average cannot but have a very injurious effect on the small country schools. By the Board's regulations a school has never been allowed to be closed in wet or unseasonable weather, provided that any children make their appearance; but this regulation did not interfere with the teacher's salary. Now, under the present regime —which seems to offer a premium on dishonesty—the teachers of these small schools are more or less dependent on the elements. In fact, this, as well as taking away the extra 55., cannot but affect this district very materially. We have a large duty to perform to a sparsely populated and poor district, and have but a few schools which do aught towards contributing to the maintenance of the greater number; and it is hoped that power will be given to Boards or School Committees to raise, in some just and equitable way, whatever sums they may deem themselves deficient in from time to time in order to continue the incidental grants, and keep the schools in proper repair. Buildings.—During the past year a new school has been built at Totara Valley, on a site purchased from Mr. Dugald Blue, at a somewhat nominal value, and towards which erection the residents liberally contributed nearly half the amount required. Winchester School was burnt to the ground during the month of July, and, after a short suspension, the school, under Miss Bennet, was reopened at the master's house. The school has since been completely rebuilt on a new site of three acres, and reopened, at a cost to the Board of upwards of £400, the Government having contributed £353. Masters' residences have been erected at Albury, Kakahu Bush, and Sutherland's. The schools at Makikihi, Eangitata Station, and Waimataitai have been enlarged, and new additional furniture has been supplied to Waimataitai, Winchester, Geraldine Flat, Waihao, Makikihi, Fairview, and Totara Valley; while a. variety of repairs, construction of porches, drainage, and fencing were undertaken at Claremont, Burkes Pass, Fairlie Creek, Gapes Valley, Hook, Hilton, Pareora, Eangitata South, Timaru Main and Side, Temuka, Wai-iti, Waimate, Waitohi Flat Upper, Washdyke, and Waimataitai. A gymnasium was afforded to Pareora and Fairview, a,nd that at Pleasant Point repaired. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examination took place in January, the examiners being a committee of gentlemen acting in conjnnction with the Board's Inspector. Candidates for the scholarship given by the Waimate High School Board of Governors were examined with those who were competing for the Board scholarships, the total present at the examination being twenty —fourteen juniors and six seniors. On the report of the examiners the following new scholarships were granted : One at £4, three at £8, two at £10, one at £34 ; all tenable for two years. A scholarship of the value of £12, tenable for one year at the Timaru High School, and open for competition to scholars of the public schools, was also given by the South Canterbury Caledonian Society. 11— E. 1.

Disteict High Schools.—lt appears, from the Inspector's report on the District High Schools at Waimate and Temuka, that the number of pupils taking secondary subjects has not increased during the year. Thirteen pupils were examined—three at Waimate and ten at Temuka. The subjects taken at Waimate were Latin, Euclid, algebra, and English; at Temuka the same subjects, with the exception of English, for which French was substituted. The results of the examination were, on the whole, satisfactory. It is worthy of note that two of the District High School pupils passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University. As in past years, the Waimate High School Board of Governors continues to contribute £75 towards the cost of maintaining an extra teacher at Waimate. Pupil-teachees.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers began on the 28th June, and ended on the 2nd July. The following table shows the number that were presented, the number that passed, and the number that failed : — Presented. Passed. Failed. Fourth year ... ... ... ... 10 8 2 Third year ... ... ... ... 13 12 1 Second year ... ... ... ... 8 8 0 First year ... ... ... ... 6 5 1 Nineteen candidates not yet holding appointments took part in the examination, with the following result: — Presented.

Of the three prizes for drawing, open to candidates from the whole of New Zealand, the first was awarded to John McLeod, pupil-teacher in South Orari School.

Ebpokt on Disteict High Schools. Sic,— Education Office, Timaru, 28th February, 1888. I have the honour to submit the results of the examination of secondary subjects in the District High Schools of Waimate and Temuka. The numbers have fallen off in both schools since last examination. This year three scholars were examined at Waimate and ten at Temuka, while last year there were nine at the former and fourteen at the latter. The following tables show the subjects taught, the marks obtained by each class, and the amount of work done: —

Waimate District High School.
Temuka District High School.
In addition to the class percentages given above, I add a few notes on the quality of the work. Waimate. English.' —The headmaster had not adhered to the scheme of work as it is laid down in the District and High School Eegulations. Nothing was known by the pupils of the history of the English language and literature, and the few marks obtained might have been earned by average scholars of a well-taught Sixth-Standard class. Latin.- —All the papers were very well done. Euclid. —Of the two girls examined in this subject, the one taking the second course made very good marks; the other taking the first course did very poorly, but it was stated that she had been absent through illness for a considerable part of the session. Algebra. —The papers of two of the pupils were excellent; the third girl (ill part of the year) made very fair marks. Temuka. Latin. —The pupil preparing for matriculation (he has since been successful) gave very good translations of the selected passages, and gained very fair marks for Latin prose composition. Two pupils were examined in the third course, one of whom did well, and the other very badly. The work of the second-course class was fairly well done by one pupil, and poorly by the others. The marks of first-course class ranged from fair to good. French. —ln this subject both classes did well. The highest mark was 81 per cent., and the lowest 57. Euclid. —In Euclid the quality of the work was uneven. One excellent paper was given in; two were very good, one was fair, two were moderate, and the two remaining were of no value. Algebra. —ln the highest class one paper was excellent and the other very good. In the other classes the work was poorly done by all the pupils, two failing to win a mark. While I exceedingly regret that there has been so great a falling-off in numbers in Waimate, I must say that the quality of the work in Latin, Euclid, and algebra compares favourably with that of last year; but the papers in English, which has been chosen as a special subject for the first time, do not nearly come up to the high standard reached in the other subjects.

school the quality of the work on the whole is much about the same as last year. There were a few papers of great merit; but the excellence of one or two of the pupils was marred by the mediocrity of some others, and the absolute failure of at least two of the pupils.

OTAGO. Sic,— Education Office, 15th March, 1888. In accordance with section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board of the Education District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report on the educational affairs of the district for the year 1887. Boaed. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members: Dr. William Brown, Michael Eraer, John F. M. Eraser, Hon. Thomas Dick, John McKenzie, Henry Clark, James Green, Alexander C. Begg, and Dr. Macgregor. Dr. Macgregor and Messrs. Begg and Green were the members who retired in terms of section 15 of the Act. Eour candidates were nominated for the vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of Mr. James Green, and the election of Dr. John Hislop and Mr. James Fulton. At the first meeting of the Board in April Dr. Brown was elected Chairman. Dr. Brown and Mr. James Fulton continue to represent the Board on the Board of Governors of the Dunedin Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Neil Fleming has been reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High School Board. Mr. James Green was appointed one of the Education Eeserves Commissioners in the room of Mr. Alexander C. Begg. During the year the Board held thirteen meetings. There were twelve meetings of the Finance Committee, and twelve meetings of the Appointments Committee. Number of Schools. —At the end of 1886 there were 181 schools in operation. In the course of the year new schools were opened at Lee Stream, Table Hill, and Bound Hill. The school in Stafford Street, Dunedin, and the half-time school which was carried on at Ida Valley, have been closed. The other half-time school (Poolburn) is now conducted as a full-time school. The number of schools in operation at the close of the year was 183, or 185 if the four half-time schools be counted as separate schools. During the year no new schools were sanctioned, for the Board had no funds available for the erection of buildings, and could obtain from the Government no definite information as to the amount likely to be granted for that purpose. In the course of the year a great number of memorials for the establishment of schools had to be dealt with, but all had to be declined or postponed owing to want of funds. In the outlying parts of the district the demand for school accommodation is greater at the present time than it has been for some years, and it is earnestly hoped that Government will, during the ensuing session of Parliament, make such provision as will enable the Board to meet all urgent claims. At the request of a number of householders, the old School District of Oamaru has been divided into three, so that each school will have a separate Committee. The Board expects that the change will prove as beneficial in this case as it has done in that of the City of Dunedin. The following figures show the classification of the schools according to their average attendance (the four half-time schools of Wharekuri and Kurow, Eweburn and Kyeburn, being reckoned as two schools): Under 15 pupils, 6; 15 and under 20 pupils, 11; 20 and under 25 pupils, 22; 25 and under 50 pupils, 59; 50 and under 75 pupils, 30; 75 and under 100 pupils, 13; 100 and under 150 pupils, 11; 150 and under 300 pupils, 12 ; 300 and under 500 pupils, 9; 500 and upwards, 10: total, 183. The number of half-time schools (each pair counted as one in the above) was 4, and of aided or subsidised schools 6. Teachers. —At the end of the year there were 511 teachers employed by the Board, classed as follows : Male head teachers, 151; male assistants, 53 ; male pupil-teachers, 54-; female head teachers and mistresses, 108; female assistant teachers, 35; female pupil-teachers, 95 ; female teachers of sewing, 15 : total, 511. For some years the Board has endeavoured to appoint teachers holding full certificates of competency to all vacant positions, and the few teachers in the service not fully certificated have been encouraged to qualify themselves by passing the requisite examination. At the present time there are in the Board's service fourteen teachers who do not hold full certificates, all of whom have passed the necessary examination for a certificate of Class D or Class E, except in one or, at most, in two subjects. Nearly all the teachers referred to have been some years in the service. They are in charge of small schools far removed from the centres of population, and have few facilities for study. As the schools under their control are satisfactorily conducted, the Board has hitherto allowed them to retain their positions ; but, now that the supply of trained and certificated teachers is rather in excess of the demand, it becomes a question if the Board can consistently continue any teacher in the service who does not possess the full qualifications. School Attendance. —The following is an abstract of the attendance at the public schools of this district from the institution of the Otago education scheme, in the year 1856, to the present time. [Not reprinted.] The above table shows that there was an increase of only 132 in the number of pupils who attended at all during the year. The increase in the average attendance was 575, and the increase in the number in attendance at the close of the year 425. In Dunedin there was a decrease of 197 in the whole number, while in the average attendance there was an increase of 134. The number in attendance at the close of the year shows an increase of only 59 on that of the preceding year.

The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools in this district is shown in the following table : — Males. Females. Total. Maoris... ... ... ... ... 5 2 7 Half-castes or other children of mixed race living as members of a Native tribe ... ... 2 2 4 Half-castes or other children of mixed race living among Europeans ... ... ... 34 21 55 Number of schools in which there were Maori or halfcaste scholars or those of mixed race ... 12 Ages op Pupils.—The following table shows the number and ages of the pupils that attended the public schools in the district during the last quarters of the years 1882, 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, and 1887. [Not reprinted.] The most interesting point about this table is the gradual decline in the percentage of pupils between five and seven years of age. In 1882 these formed 21J- per cent, of the whole attendance : they now form only 16f per cent, of it. Inspection.—With the exception of three new schools opened towards the end of the year, all the schools in the district were examined, and all but one were visited for inspection. The following is an abstract of the work done by the Inspectors during the year:—
Standards. —In all, 13,524 pupils were presented for examination in the standards. Of these, 13,115 were present, and. 10,492 passed. The number of absentees was 409, or 3 per cent, of those presented. Of the 13,115 examined, 390, or rather less than 3 per cent., were excepted: that is, they were not reckoned as passing or failing, and were left out of account in computing the percentage of failures. The percentage of absentees was somewhat lower than that for last year, and the percentage of exceptions the same. The percentage of passes in standards was 80, being an advance of 3 per cent, on last year's result. The average percentage of class subjects was 58, and the average of additional marks 63. The following table shows the statistics of examination for the year, with the corresponding figures for last year printed beside them, for ease of comparison. [Not reprinted.] This table shows an advance in the results of Standards 11., 111., IV., and VI., and a very slight decline in those of Standard V. Of the 183 schools examined — 13 (= 7 per cent.) had a percentage of failures ranging from ... oto 5 23 (= 13 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 6 to 10 58 (= 32 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 11 to 20 41 (=22 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 21 to 30 30 (=l6 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 31 to 40 13 (= 7 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 41 to 50 s(= 3 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 51 to 30 A comparison of the above table with the corresponding one in last year's report shows a marked improvement in the efficiency of a considerable number of schools.

The lowest percentages were gained in the following: Kyeburn, 8 per cent.; Eweburn, 13 per cent.; Whare Flat, 32 per cent.; Seacliff, 33 per cent.; Highcliff, 36 per cent.; Strath-Taieri, 37 per cent. ; Broad Bay, 38 per cent.; Kyeburn Diggings, 39 per cent.

H., 88; Lovell's Flat, 88; George Street, 87; Goodwood, 87; Stirling, 87. The additional marks were lowest at the following: Eweburn, 23 ; Tahora, 23 ; Kyeburn, 27 ; Kyeburn Diggings, 28; Whare Flat, 32 ; Adams Flat, 33; Saddle Hill, 34 ; Circle Hill, 35; St. Bathan's, 35. Training College.—The report of the Eector of the Training College is appended. The students in training continue to visit the associated schools for practice in teaching; and, though the Eector does not express any opinion as to the working of this arrangement, the Board has reason to believe that it has been attended by considerable success. Towards the end of the year Mr. Earl, the master of the Model School, was promoted to a higher appointment, and the Board, in anticipation of the discontinuance of the vote for training colleges, decided to abolish the Model School for the present. At the same time the Board cannot doubt that the utility and completeness of the technical training given to teachers at the College are seriously marred by this unavoidable change. The attendance of students during the year was— Males. Females. Total. First-year students ... ... ... 8 ... 26 ... 34 Second-year „ ... ... ... 15 ... 39 ... 54 Third-year „ ... ... ... 3 ... 0 ... 3 Fourth-year „ ... ... 2 ... 0 ... 2 Total... ... ... 28 ... 65 ... 93 The following is a return of the number of students who entered or left during the year, and of their present employment: — Students in 1887— M.

About 250 students trained in the College since its establishment are employed at the present time as teachers in the public schools of the colony, many of them outside the Education District of Otago. Pupil-teachees.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held on the 19th December and following days. As usual, a considerable number of the first-class pupil-teachers took the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University in addition to the examination prescribed by the Board's regulations. The Board is pleased to find that all of these passed the matriculation examination, and they regard the fact as valuable independent evidence of the sound education which the pupil-teachers as a body are receiving. Fewer of the pupil-teachers failed to pass the annual examination this year than on any previous occasion. This seems due to the fact that the pupil-teachers who have recently entered the service were very much further advanced in scholarship than those who were appointed some years ago. Many of the recent applicants for appointments have passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University, and, other things being equal, preference is given by the Board to such candidates.

The following table shows the number of pupil-teachers who sat at the annual examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed: — Presented. Passed. Failed. First class ... ... ... ... 31 29 2 Second class ... ... ... 23 20 3 Third class ... ... ... ... 47 42 5 Fourth class ... ... ... 48 47 1 Four were removed for having twice failed to pass the examination for promotion to a higher class. Buildings.—During the year the building operations of the Board have been on a very restricted scale. The amount apportioned out of the current year's vote falls very far short of what is required. Unless a more liberal grant is made next year, a very great hardship will be inflicted upon the large number of householders who have recently settled in the outlying districts. Many of these have large families, and not unreasonably expect that they should share, along with their more favoured neighbours, the benefits of the education system. The total expenditure on schoolbuildings was £6,935 11s. Bd. A detailed statement, showing the amount spent in each district, is given in Appendix A. [See Table No. 9, ante.] Finance.—The balance-sheet of the Board's accounts for the year, certified by the Auditor, follows this report. The amount paid in teachers' salaries, bonuses on classification, &c, was £64,696 19s. 6d.; and the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £6,292 9s. sd. A statement of the amounts contributed by the Board to each school for teachers' salaries, &c, for allowances to School Committees in aid of the school fund, and of the sums paid for the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school-buildings, will be found in Appendix A. Drawing Depaetment.—The report of the headmaster of the drawing department is appended. The classes were attended by 403 students —viz., 119 teachers and pupil-teachers, 79 students in training, 61 students at the afternoon classes, 144 artisans and other students in the evening. The expenditure on the department for the year was : Salaries, £611; travelling and other expense's, £88 3s. 6d.: total, £699 3s. 6d. The sum of £145 3s. sd. was received for fees. School Committees' Accounts.—An abstract of the income and expenditure of the various School Committees will be found in Appendix F. [See Table No. 6, ante.} The Board's contributions for the year amounted to £6,292 9s. 5d., and the districts raised locally £1,426 Bs. sd. The balance standing to the credit of Committees at the end of the year was £1,979 4s. 4d., being £432 19s. 2d. in excess of the amount of the previous year. The accounts were audited, as in former years, by the Board's chief clerk. Scholaeships.—Nineteen scholarships—eleven senior and eight junior—were awarded at the end of the year, the annual examination being held on the 19th December and following days. Forty candidates entered for the senior and sixty-eight for the junior. In addition to the scholarships awarded by the Board, fifteen candidates obtained sufficient marks to entitle them to three years' free education at the Boys' and Girls' High Schools. There are at present sixty-one pupils receiving free education at the High Schools under the scholarship scheme. The Examiners' report, copies of the examination papers, and the names of those holding scholarships are given in Appendix M. [Not reprinted.] By order of the Board.

Eepoet of Pbincipal op Teaining College. SlE,— I have the honour to submit my report of the Training College for session 1887. The following was the attendance at the classes : —First-year students : Males, 8 ; females, 26. Second-year students : Males, 15; females, 39. Third-year students: Males, 3. Fourth-year students: Males, 2. Thirty-four students were admitted, and thirty-one left. Of those who left, twenty-seven received appointments, and three continued their studies at the Otago University, but not under Training College supervision. These have done as good work as those who were under supervision ; but it would be well to place all our students at the University on the same footing as to reports of attendance and work, and so maintain their connection with the Board until they take up their work as teachers. I may say that most of our students do consult with us as to their course, and report their progress, though not required to do so by the regulations. No change was made on the College staff during the year. I have to thank all its members for the cordial support and co-operation which enabled us to bring a year's work of exceptional difficulty to a very successful termination. Seventeen students passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University. Twenty completed the examination for D Certificate, and one had a partial success registered, passing in all the subjects except spelling. ' Twenty completed the examination for B Certificate, and ten had a partial success registered. Two failed to improve their position. Of the three prizes open to all candidates in practical science throughout New Zealand, the second was awarded to Mr. W. G. Don, Miss M. E. Moore was highly commended, and Miss C. D. Eobertson and Mr. William Burnside were commended. Of the three prizes in drawing, the second was awarded to Mr. William Burnside. The students holding University exhibitions have kept terms as required, and Mr. James M. Beattie is reported to have passed the first section of the B.A. degree. Mr. Eoss has taken an appointment as teacher. The others are entitled to the exhibitions for another year. They have all done practical work while the University was not in session, and commended themselves to the headmasters of the associated schools under whom they taught. The Training College students attending the Otago University continue to do good work, and occupy creditable positions in their classes. Many of our students who matriculate cannot afford at once to begin their University course ; others can afford but one or two sessions. These, failing to secure appointments to city or suburban schools, readily accept places in the country, with the view, in many cases, of saving money with which to return and complete the preparation for their professional work, and at the same time raise their classification. Of present and past students it is reported by cable from London that, in the examination of 1887, six passed for M.A. degree, five of them qualifying for the New Zealand teacher's A Certificate; that five passed for B.A. degree, qualifying for the B Certificate ; and that three passed the first section of the B.A. degree, qualifying for the C Certificate. Careful attention and a large proportion of time has been given during the session to the practical part of the students' preparation for teaching. The Friday afternoons were devoted to model and criticism lessons to Normal School classes, and the students spent every fifth week teaching in city and suburban schools.

The relations between the staff of the College and those of the associated schools have been of the most cordial description; the students have been kindly received, every opportunity has been given them of observing the organization, discipline, and methods of the schools, and the headmasters have taken a warm interest in the work, giving to it a large amount of time and care. We are deeply indebted to them for the assistance they and their teachers have given us in this the most important department of our work. The students themselves realise the importance of the practical part of thsir training, and many of those who have not been pupil-teachers continue in practice after passing the certificate examination and completing the ordinary course of training. At present we have several in practice who are entitled by examination to D Certificate, two who are entitled to B, and two who are entitled to the highest certificate, A.

Eepoet op Act Master. Sir,— I have the honour to submit my annual report on the School of Art for the year 1887. The total number of individual students that received instruction in the school during the year was 403, showing a decrease of 26 since my last report. This total includes 119 teachers and pupilteachers, 79 students in training, 61 students who attended the day classes, and 144 students who attended the evening classes. The classes for teachers and pupil-toachers were open every evening, except Fridays, from 5.45 to 6.45, and those for the students in training every day, except Fridays, from 11 to 12, the course of instruction being freehand drawing, model drawing, practical geometry, and perspective. The students in training devoted one hour every week to drawing exercises on the blackboard, in every case making rapid and satisfactory progress. At the pupil-teachers' annual examination, 28 passed in freehand drawing, 25 passed in model drawing, 21 in practical geometry, and 20 in perspective. At the examination for teachers' certificates, 54 passed in freehand drawing, 51 in model drawing, 38 in practical geometry, and 9 in perspective. Most of the candidates who went up for examination had passed in perspective at the previous examination, and therefore did not take this paper up. Of the three prizes offered by the Government for the best drawing done at the teachers' examination, the second (£3) has been awarded to one of our students. The day classes were open every day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the study of elementary and advanced drawing, painting, modelling, &c. The drawings by the advanced students of the figure from the antique and from the life, and their studies of flowers and foliage from nature, were especially good, and in advance of last year's work. The evening classes were open as usual every evening from 7 to 9, except Saturdays, the arrangement of the classes being the same as previously reported. I may mention here that one of our students gained the medal offered by the Otago Art Society for the best drawing of the figure from the antique. Several of the ex-pupils continue to make satisfactory progress. At the recent examination of the Science and Art Department one obtained-a prize for drawing the figure from the antique, and five others passed the second-grade examination. One of our best students, who has lately settled in Sydney, has been appointed assistant master in the Sydney School of Art. The Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools were attended as usual. The progress made by the various classes has been satisfactory. The course of instruction was as follows: —Boys' School: Freehand drawing, model drawing, and drawing from the cast; practical geometry and projection; mechanical and architectural details, drawn to scale. Girls' School: Freehand drawing, model drawing, practical geometry and perspective, drawing and shading from the cast. The Otago Art Society now offer four medals—two to the Boys' High School and two to the Girls' High School — to be competed for annually. This should have a beneficial effect, and cause a healthy rivalry amongst the pupils. As I look upon the annual exhibition as a part of my report, I may mention that the collection of works exhibited at the close of the year included freehand outline and model drawings, mechanical and architectural drawings, crayon drawings from copies and from the cast, models in plaster ; paintings in oil and watercolours from copies, from nature, and from the living model. In point of number and excellence the collection surpassed any previous display of the students' works. The exhibition was largely attended, and was highly spoken of by the Press. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. David C. Hutton, Art Master.
Ebpoet on Scholarship Examination, 1887. Sir,— We beg to submit our report on the examination for junior and senior scholarships held at the end of December last. There were forty competitors for the ten senior scholarships, and sixty-eight for the seven junior scholarships. The marks gained by the competitors in each of the subjects are appended hereto. A small number were disqualified through failing to gain 20 per cent, of the marks in one or more subjects. We recommend that the scholarships be awarded to the eleven who stand at the top of the senior list, and to the eight who stand at the top of the junior list. Six of the successful competitors for senior scholarships were formerly holders of junior scholarships. In all, twentysix of the senior competitors gained more than half the attainable marks. These, through the courtesy of the Board of Governors of the Otago High School, are entitled to free education at the High School in Dunedin. We have, &c, D. Pbtrie, j Wm. Taylor, I Inspectors.

The English, Latin, algebra, and agriculture were examined by myself, and the French, German, geometry, and trigonometry by Mr. Goyen. The following notes show the estimate we have formed of the quality of the work. Palmerston District High School. English. —This class read the whole of " Julius Cassar." The pupils showed a good knowledge of the motives and action, and a very fair knowledge of the language and thoughts, of the play. Latin. —All the classes made a very good appearance in this subject. The translation of the higher classes was especially good. The questions in accidence and syntax were in general very creditably answered. Composition has received careful attention. French. —There was only one inferior paper; of the rest, six were excellent, and five good. Geometry. —The geometry was very well done. Five pupils gained 100 per cent., and six of the rest very high marks. Algebra. —Two in each of the classes gained full marks in this subject, and most of the others answered very fairly indeed. Port Chalmers District High SchoolEnglish. —This class showed an excellent knowledge of the story, the language, and the text of the extracts read. One of ihe most difficult passages was paraphrased with great intelligence and taste. Latin. —ln Class I. the translation was good, and the parsing, syntax, and grammar were very fairly known. The translation into Latin was very satisfactory. The pupils of the lower classes showed an excellent acquaintance with the grammar and with the passages read. French. —Three of the papers were excellent, fifteen good, and the others fair. Geometry. —All the pupils of Class 11. gained full marks, and all those of Class I. 90 per cent. of the marks. Algebra. —ln Class I. two answered all the questions set, and the work as a whole was of very satisfactory quality. In Class 11. seven made full marks, and. the rest did very fairly indeed. Tokomairiro District High School. English. —This class showed, on the whole, a very accurate and minute knowledge of the work read. I should have thought more highly of the paraphrase had there been less condensation of the matter, and fewer omissions of important ideas. The plot and action were well known. Latin. —The translation of Class I. was not so accurate, and, in a good many cases, not so well rendered as one would expect from the age and the varied training of the pupils. The parsing was fair, and the syntax and composition moderate. In Class 11. the translation was well given by a few, and very fairly by most. Accidence and composition were satisfactory, and parsing and syntax moderate. Class 111. did not make so good an appearance as the others. French. —Four pupils passed a very good examination, nine did fairly, and two poorly. Algebra. —Class I. showed a good knowledge of the work read. They have gone over a great deal of ground in a very thorough way. The pupils of Class 11. are well grounded in the more elementary parts of the work read, and fully half the class made a good appearance in the higher parts. Geometry. —Ten of the pupils gained full marks, and five made not less than 90 per cent.; of the rest, seven did well, seven fairly, and one poorly. Trigonometry. —Two pupils did well, three fairly, and three poorly. Agriculture. —The pupils showed a very accurate acquaintance with the matter taught. During a visit to the school I saw the class at work, and was much pleased with what they were doing.

Lawrence District High School. English. —Class I. made a fair appearance in this subject. The paraphrase was in many cases weak, and a few selected passages of some difficulty were but fairly explained. The story was -well known, and the pupils showed an excellent verbal acquaintance with the text. Derivations and meanings of single words were in general well given. In Class 11. the answering was all round inferior to that of Class 1., and the paraphrase was especially weak. Latin. —In Classes I. and 11. the translation was accurate; but English idiom was not sufficiently observed. The syntax of Class I. was fair, and all the rest of the work of both classes was of very satisfactory quality. In Class 111. most of the pupils answered well. Their translation was more correct than that of the more advanced pupils. French. —The papers in this subject were very well done : only three fell below the level of fair. German. —The work read was very well known. Geometry. —Of the pupils, four gained full marks, three made 90 per cent., four did well, seven fairly, and two poorly. Algebra. —In Class I. one pupil answered all the questions set, three answered well, and the others fairly. The equations arising out of the problems were not in all cases set out with commendable clearness. Eive of the pupils of Class 11. did well, and the rest fairly. Trigonometry. —One boy did well, one fairly, and one poorly. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. D. Petrie, Inspector.
SOUTHLAND. Sm, — Education Office, Invercargill, 23rd March, 1888. I have the honour, in pursuance of the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," to submit for your consideration the following report of the proceedings of the Southland Education Board for the year ended the 31st December, 1887. -Board.—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following gentlemen : Mr. Thomas M. Macdonald, Chairman; and Messrs. George Lumsden, John Morison, George McLeod, Alfred Baldey, John Turnbull, Donald L. Matheson, James S.Shanks, and George Eroggatt. The retiring members for the year were Messrs. A. Baldey, G. McLeod, and J. S. Shanks. To fill the vacancies so caused, the district School Committees nominated seven candidates, and the voting at the election held on the 4th March, 1887, resulted in the return of the two first-named retiring members and Mr. James W. Bain. Board's Meetings.—As in past years, the regular meetings of the Board have been held on the first Friday in each month, with occasional special meetings when found necessary. The Executive Committee, which usually meets two or three times a month, has contributed very largely to the success which has attended the transaction of the business of the Board at its ordinary monthly meetings. During the past year the Board has held twelve ordinary and two special meetings, while the Executive Committee has met thirty-three times. The attendance of members has been uniformly good, the average for meetings of the Board being 8, and for those of the Executive Committee 5"7. The following are the individual attendances made by members during tho year ; — Meetings of Board: Mr. Baldey, 14; Mr. Lumsden, 14 ; Mr. Matheson, 13; Mr. Morison, 13 ; Mr. Eroggatt, 12 ; Mr. Macdonald, 12 ; Mr. McLeod, 12 ; Mr. Turnbull, 11 ; Mr. Bain (nine months), 8 ; Mr. Shanks (three months), 3. Executive Committee : Mr. Lumsden, 32 ; Mr. Eroggatt, 27 ; Mr. McLeod, 25; Mr. Matheson, 24; Mr. Baldey, 23; Mr. Macdonald, 23; Mr. Bain (nine months), 18; Mr. Morison, 13; Mr. Turnbull, 4; Mr. Shanks (three months), 0. Number op Schools.—This Board's last annual report showed that on the 31st December, 1886, there were ninety-two schools in operation ; and, if two half-time schools be reckoned, ninetythree. An increase has taken place during this year, new schools having been opened at Drummond, Balfour, Mossburn, Wendonside, Mandeville, and Mokoreta, the last-named being worked in conjunction with the school previously established at Eedan as a half-time school. There are now (31st December, 1887) ninety-eight schools in existence, four of these being half-time schools. The school at Moke Creek was closed in the early part of the year, the decreased attendance rendering it inexpedient to keep it open. A considerable number of applications for the establishment of new schools are registered on the books of the Board, the final consideration of which has been deferred for various reasons, chief amongst which must be reckoned the insignificant balance standing to the credit of the Board's Building Account. Teaching Staff.—The staff of teachers employed in the various schools under the Board was, at the close of the year 1886, 175. This number has, notwithstanding an increase of five in the number of schools, decreased by three, there being now but 172 teachers of all grades in the Board's service, classified as follows :— Male. Female. Total. Principal ... ... ... ... 10 ... 0 ... 10 Head of department ... ... ... 0 ... 10 ... 10 Head of school ... ... ... 20 ... 0 ... 20 Sole teacher ... ... ... 52 ... 14 ... 66 Assistant... ... ... ... 7 ... 13 ... 20 Pupil-teacher ... ... ... 7 ... 28 ... 35 Sewing teacher ... ... ... 0 ... 11 ... 11 96 76 172
89
E.—l
This decrease of teaching-power is accounted for by the fact that the Board found it necessary in the interests of justice and economy to limit the teaching staff in each school strictly in accordance with the terms of its regulations. The engagements of several pupil-teachers and sewing mistresses were terminated in consequence of this resolve. The Board finds considerable difficulty, owing to the low rate of salary which it can afford to pay, in securing the services of certificated teachers for the numerous small schools which necessity has compelled it to establish within its borders. An earnest desire to extend the benefits of the education system wherever it is practicable to do so has actuated the Board in the past in dealing with applications from remote country districts for the establishment of schools, and has thus necessitated the support of a larger number of aid-requiring schools in proportion to the population than is probably the case in any other education district in the colony. This weakness is, at any rate, not fully counteracted by the number of aid-giving schools under its control; for, with perhaps twenty exceptions, all the schools in the district may be classed as barely self-supporting, while not a few are actually kept in existence by the surplus funds obtained from the few large schools in populous centres. School Attendance.—As compared with the previous year, the attendance shows an increase. The following table exhibits in a concise form the attendance for 1887, and institutes a comparison with the previous year : — Eoll Number. Strict Average. Working Average. Quarter ending 31st March, 1887 ... 7,630 ... 5,760 ... 5,923 30th June, 1887 ... 7,643 ... 5,675 ... 5,874 30th September, 1887 7,625 ... 5,342 ... 5,661 31st December, 1887 7,787 ... 6,010 ... 6,119 Aggregate attendance for 1887 ... 30,685 ... 22,787 ... 23,577 Average of four quarters of 1887 ... 7,671-5 .. 5,696-7 ... 5,894-2 Average of four quarters of 1886 ... 7,183-5 ... 5,339-7 ... 5,578-5 Increase ... ... 488-0 ... 357-0 ... 315-7 The above figures indicate an increase of 488 pupils on the roll, with an increased average of 357 (strict) and 315-7 (working). The percentage of " working average " attendance to the number of pupils on the roll has during this year slightly decreased (being 74-2), as compared with last year. Approximately, only three out of every four pupils on the school roll can be relied on as being in attendance every day, and it is extremely doubtful if this undesirable state of affairs can be remedied, at least so far as this district is concerned. Taking into consideration the scattered nature of the population, the long distances which many of the pupils have to travel, and, during winter at least, the state of the country roads over which such journeys have to be made, it is not surprising to learn that the best efforts of conscientious teachers to attain for the schools under their care a high state of efficiency are often nullified by the baneful effects of irregular attendance. The foregoing remarks apply with special force to this district, whera the proportion of town to country schools is so small; indeed, it may be said to apply in a greater or less degree to every school in the education district outside the town of Invercargill. The institution of the " working " average as a basis on which to calculate payments to Boards by the Government, and to teachers by the Boards, was a measure peculiarly adapted to at least partially remove any injustice which might arise to Boards or teachers through the inclemency of the weather or the occurrence of an epidemic, over neither of which circumstances, it is needless to remark, the Board has any control. An Order in Council issued on the sth July, 1887, relating to the method of calculating average attendance, provides that a school shall be deemed to be open should one child be present before the first half-hour of the ordinary school-time has passed, and, as this contingency in a modified degree is liable to arise in the case of not one but many schools, and not once but many times during a quarter, it is difficult indeed to see why such pecuniary hardship should be inflicted on teachers by the operation of a circumstance which they are powerless to prevent. This Board is further of opinion that such a direct incentive to dishonesty on the part of teachers in registering their school attendance should not exist. This Board therefore regrets exceedingly the proposal to abolish the " working " average, as having a greater tendency to impair the efficiency of the education system, especially as regards country districts, than any other of the proposed changes; and considers that so great an injury should not be inflicted to effect so small a saving. In many sparsely populated localities it would have been quite impossible in the past to secure an attendance large enough to warrant the establishment or continuance of schools, unless by the operation of a " working " average ; and in view of the proposed change the Board is of opinion that only by a special effort on the part of the districts concerned will it be possible to carry on many of its existing weak schools. The compulsory clause of the Act, so far as this district is concerned, is practically inoperative. It is only in thickly populated localities that the clause could be enforced, but, even under such circumstances, the extremely objectionable method by which its operation can be insisted on prevents those in power for the time being incurring the odium of compelling compliance with its provisions. Examination of Pupil-teachees, and of Candidates fob Scholarships.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers in the active service of the Board, and of young persons anxious to qualify themselves in a literary sense for employment as such, was held, on the 28th June and following days. On this occasion 64 examinees were present. Of this number, 32 were at the time employed in the various schools under the Board's control, the remaining 32 being open for appointment to any vacancy that might occur. Of the numbers who thus presented themselves, 27 pupil-
E.—l
90
teachers and 21 candidates passed the prescribed examination ; the residue failed to satisfy the requirements of the Inspector. The foregoing shows clearly that there is no danger of the supply of pupil-teachers falling short of the Board's requirements, at least for some time to come. Several pupil-teachers, who had completed their term of service as such, were appointed as head teachers in small country schools, and appear to be giving every satisfaction to their respective School Committees. The annual examination of candidates for scholarships, as prescribed in the regulations, was held at the same time as the pupil-teacher examination, when sixteen competitors presented themselves. After a careful scrutiny of the papers handed in, two scholarships, of the value of £20 each, and tenable for three years, were awarded, and five of similar value but tenable for one year only. In addition to the above, awarded to candidates able to reside at home while attending the secondary schools (Southland High Schools) provided for in the Scholarship Eegulations, two scholarships were awarded to country competitors not able so to reside during the currency thereof. These were of the value of £35 each, and tenable for three years. Altogether there are now receiving the benefits of the scholarship scheme in this district ten boys° and four girls, who are paid in the aggregate £355 per annum; and, in the case of country holders, a concession of one-third in the amount of fees payable for attendance at the High School. The Board regrets that so few of its country schools sent forward candidates on this occasion. School Glebes. —In too many instances teachers in charge of schools do not appear to take that interest in maintaining the glebes under their care in that order which the Board and local Committee have a right to expect, and which it would certainly be to their own interest and profit to attend to. In isolated cases, however, a commendable desire to improve the appearance of the residence and its surroundings by cultivating a garden and planting fruit and forest trees is shown. Generally speaking, this only occurs where there is a natural inclination on the part of the teacher to indulge in the healthful recreation necessary to insure success ; but, as a rule, the ordinary school glebe is a most uninteresting spectacle, and anything but " a thing of beauty." Did teachers in general recognise more fully how important and beneficial it is to the tone of a school to encourage, by their own example, a taste for the beautiful in Nature, it would be well both for the interests of education and the present and future appearance of the district in which they are located. It is feared, however, that the School Committees are not free from blame in this matter, as, however anxious they may be to see their teachers so employed during their spare hours, it seldom happens that any direct incentive in the way of practical assistance is afforded. Sites. — The Board desire to acknowledge with pleasure and gratitude the courtesy and readiness with which their repeated requests to set apart suitable school sites, in districts where such have been required, have been complied with by the Waste Lands Boards of Otago and Southland, and also by the School Commissioners of Otago. Nearly every school in the district has a playground and glebe of ample dimensions attached thereto. Buildings.—During the year the amount expended in the erection of new school-buildings and in the extension of existing ones has not been so great as the sum of last year's expenditure for similar purposes. This was owing not to the fact that applications for such were less numerous, or the necessity for granting such less urgent, but the Board deemed it prudent to exercise great care in husbanding its resources, in view of the uncertainty which prevailed as to the amount of money likely to be appropriated by Parliament for distribution amongst Boards for building purposes. For several months during the year an almost total cessation of building operations took place, no works but those of an urgent nature being undertaken. No other course was open to the Board, in consequence of the delay which took place in allocating the parliamentary grant for school-buildings. The amount expended in executing new works which were absolutely indispensable was £1,791 3s. 7d. A sum of £361 6s. 2d. also was expended in effecting repairs to buildings and in making grants in aid of various works. The principal new works taken in hand during the year have been the erection of new schools at Mossburn, Mokoreta, Eiverside, Drummond, Longridge, Mabel, and Tokonui; and additions to the school-buildings at Winton, Clifton, "West Plains, Edendale, and Longbush, all of which latter were imperatively required owing to the increased average attendance in each of these districts. A much-needed addition was also made to the teacher's residence at Cardrona. To make provision for meeting the requirements of newly-settled districts with the funds placed at its disposal, and at the same time maintain in efficient repair the Board's property throughout the district, is one of the most difficult problems which the Board has to solve in administering the Act. Numerous applications for new schools, for increased accommodation in existing ones, for grants in aid of other miscellaneous works (all very urgent), were held over for consideration till it was definitely ascertained what would be the Board's share of the parliamentary vote for building purposes. The result will be that, unless a sum equal to or greater than that voted last year is allowed the Board, many of the works enumerated, urgent though they may be, will remain unexecuted. In districts such as this, where, with perhaps half a dozen exceptions, all the buildings are erected of wood, the charge against the Board's Building Fund for maintenance is a large and ever-increasing one. The amount annually voted by Parliament, which sum the Board or School Committees have no power to augment except by soliciting voluntary contributions from those interested in the welfare of the respective schools, is simply inadequate to meet the charges made against it, and under the present regime the Board's best efforts to cope with the needs of ever-extending settlement and progress cannot but be, in some considerable degree at least, abortive. As shown by a perusal of Eeturn No. 10 [School Fund Account], many School Committees contribute —and that, where circumstances permit, very willingly —towards the cost of repairs to the property under their charge, a sum of £732 having been received throughout this district during the year from donations,
91
E.—l
subscriptions, &c. It should be noted, however, that a portion of this amount—probably one-half or more—is the result of a mild form of compulsion exercised by the Board; as, in many instances, grants towards the cost of repairs, erection of sheds, fencing, &c, are made specially on condition that of the amount actually expended one-half shall be raised by the Committee interested. Without the adoption of some such basis of distribution of the funds intrusted to the Board for such purposes it would be quite impossible to satisfy the demands of applicants in this particular. The Board directs attention to the fact that in six school districts the buildings utilised by the Board for school purposes are not its property, but have been provided by the residents as temporary expedients till the Board is in a position to erect suitable school-buildings. The Board again reports that there are still twenty-seven school districts in which no residences for the use of the teachers have been provided. Bent allowances, aggregating £347 15s. 5d., were paid to the teachers of these schools during the year ; and, in view of the proposed reduction in the maintenance grant, it will be next to impossible to provide for a similar outlay in future. The Board's maintenance grant, even under the most economical administration, is scarcely able to bear the legitimate strain imposed upon it, without meeting the cost of rent allowances, the payment of which is rendered necessary on account of the insufficiency of the grant for buildings. School Committees.—Return No. 10 gives a summarised statement of the income and expenditure of School Committees in this district, and generally the purposes to which such moneys have been appropriated. The Board acknowledges the hearty co-operation of School Committees generally in the efficient administration of the provisions of the Act. Cases in which friction has occurred have been very rare indeed, and even then the matter in dispute has ever been satisfactorily settled, to the mutual benefit of all concerned. The Committees' abstracts of accounts have this year, with very few exceptions, been carefully and correctly made up, audited, and forwarded to the Board's office with commendable promptitude. Inspection of Schools.—ln December, 1886, Mr. John Garnmell, the Board's Inspector, tendered his resignation of the office held by him since June, 1882. After further consideration, however, and at the request of the Board, Mr. Gammell withdrew his resignation, and accepted twelve, months' leave of absence on half-pay, on condition that at the expiration of nine months or earlier he would intimate definitely whether or not he could continue in the service of the Board as its Inspector. In consequence of the foregoing arrangement, the Board resolved to invite applications for the position of Assistant Inspector, it being felt that the work of examination and inspection of so many schools, and in such an extended district, could not well be efficiently conducted by one Inspector. From a large number of applicants the Board unanimously selected Mr. James Hendry, 8.A., to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hendry has, since his appointment in March last, prosecuted the work of examining schools throughout the district, with the result indicated in his tabulated returns forwarded to the department, and more specially dealt with in his annual report presented to the Board, of which a copy is herewith enclosed. In August last Mr. Gammell intimated finally that he could not see his way to return to his duties as the Board's Chief Inspector. The Board thereupon accepted his resignation of the office held by him for so many years, and now desires to place on record its high sense of the invariable faithfulness, ability, and zeal with which he discharged his onerous duties, and its regret that circumstances should have necessitated his retirement from his position as its Inspector. Finance and Accounts. —The Maintenance Fund of the Board for the year consisted of a sum of £20,363 13s. 9d. paid as capitation grant, together with an additional sum of £2,699 ss. received, as this district's share of primary-reserves rents, from the School Commissioners of Otago, forming a total of £23,062 18s. 9d. Out of this sum, £20,029 11s. 3d. was paid to teachers employed by the Board, as salaries, bonuses, rent allowances, &c. The annual vote received for building purposes was £3,448 10s. sd. A certified statement of the Board's income and expenditure, as contained in Departmental Returns Nos. 4, 5, and 6, and which furnishes a full and detailed account of the Board's present financial condition, will be forwarded as soon as the Auditor has completed his labours. The figures contained in the returns referred to show that the Board has a credit balance in favour of both its Maintenance and Building Accounts—to the former of £445 13s. 9d., and to the latter of £1,031 19s. 7d. From the former of these balances must, however, be deducted a sum of £416 Bs. Bd. as due to teachers and School Committees on the 31st December, 1887, leaving only an actual balance of £29 ss. Id. In like manner the credit balance to Building Fund must be reduced by the deduction of a sum of £155 due under contracts, leaving the actual amount to its credit £876 19s. 7d. If all the urgent works sanctioned by direct or implied promises had been executed by the Board, the foregoing balance to credit of Building Fund could easily have been absorbed, and the vote for the current year considerably anticipated as well. Retrenchment. —In consequence of the receipt of circulars from the Education Department at the close of the year, announcing the Government's intention of (1) calculating future payments to Boards on the " strict " instead of the " working " average, and (2) of discontinuing payment of the extra capitation grant of 4s. per pupil, it will be the duty of the Board, early in the coming year, to revise its scale of expenditure, with the view of effecting reductions necessary to meet the decreased revenue arising from the proposed changes. The present rules of the Board which regulate the cost of administering the Education Act throughout the district have been so nicely adjusted as to leave at the end of each recurring year but an insignificant balance to either debit or credit: hence the imperative necessity for an immediate revision of its scale of payments. The action of the Board in this connection will form an important feature in its next annual report. By order of the Board. John Neill, Secretary. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

EEPOETS OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONEBS.
AUCKLAND. Sir, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 17th February, 1888. I have the honour to report upon the administration of education reserves in this district for the past year as follows : — The reserves let consist of eight sections, containing 498 acres, of country lands, and eight allotments of town land, yielding a total rental of £63 14s. a year. Notwithstanding the depression in the farming industry, the Commissioners have been fairly successful in collecting rents. The arrears of previous years have been considerably reduced, but it has been found necessary to write off as unrecoverable a sum of £203. The large balance in hand at the end of the year includes an amount of £825 11s. 4d. accumulated rents payable to the Governors of the Gisborne High School. This money has since been paid over under authority of an Act of last session. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wi. P. Moat, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sib, — Wellington, 9th January, 1888. On behalf of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District I have the honour to submit the ninth annual report of their administration of education reserves for this district. During the past year all the Commissioners vacated office in terms of "The Education Reserves Act 1877 Amendment Act, 1882," but were subsequently reappointed to their several offices. They wore—Mr. J. W. A. Marchant, Mr. C. P. Powles, and Mr. Thomas Mason, by the Government; the Hon. John Bryce, by the Wanganui Education Board ; and Mr. J. E. Blair, by the Wellington Education Board. Mr. J. E. Blair was re-elected Chairman. On the 7th November the Hon. Mr. Bryce resigned, and Mr. John Ballance was appointed to fill the vacancy. As anticipated by the Commissioners in their report for the year 1886, rendered under date the 14th February, 1887, the operation of " The Public Bodies' Leaseholds Act, 1886," has been largely beneficial, and has enabled the Commissioners to quit reserves which prior to the passing of the Act had been submitted every year for public tender under the provisions of "The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," without commanding a single offer. The Commissioners, although they have reason to be satisfied with the result of the first sales under " The Public Bodies' Leaseholds Act, 1886," believe that as the provisions of the Act become more widely known it will become still more beneficial, and allow them to dispose of a large number of other reserves which are still unlet. For the most part the education reserves in the Wellington Provincial District are rough, broken, bush lands, inaccessible for want of roads, and not such as to command very great attention from intending settlers. Still, with the liberal provisions under which the Commissioners are now able to offer their reserves, there is hope for the early quittance of the country lands remaining on hand. The area recently let comprises twenty-eight sections—viz., twenty-seven sections set apart for primary education, and one set apart for secondary education. The primary reserves contain an area of 2,028 acres 1 rood 39 perches, and produce an aggregate annual rental of £170 135., or an average of Is. Bd. per acre. The secondary reserve contains 6,975 acres, and produces an annual rental of £29 Is. 3d., being at the rate of Id. per acre. The rental obtained, although appearing somewhat low, is a fair value considering the nature of the lands ; and the letting of these reserves relieves the Commissioners from claims for rates, fencing, &c, which of late have been unusually heavy. The education reserve at Eangitumau is, as stated, a reserve containing 6,975 acres, and is set apart as a reserve for secondary education. The Commissioners desire to draw your special attention to their remarks on this particular reserve. Every year during their administration the Commissioners have offered this reserve for leasing, but such is the nature and inaccessibility of the land that only on one occasion was any tender received : this was £5 per annum for the whole block, in January, 1879. The Commissioners declined the tender. The Commissioners went out of their way considerably to insure publicity in order to secure the largest number of tenders, until, on the 23rd June, 1887, the Eangitumau Eeserve was sold to the highest bidder at auction at the upset rental of Id. per acre per annum, and thus the Commissioners are quit of a hitherto useless and expensive reserve. The Commissioners, in administering "The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," have at all times recognised that section 21 of this Act creates two distinct trusts —one primary and the other secondary—and they are not empowered by law to divert the funds of one class for the payment of expenses on the other. Unfortunately, this has given rise to a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience, which the Commissioners are compelled to submit to rather than break the law. The annual income derived from secondary reserves was £18, which in 1880 increased to £24, and last year, by the letting of the Eangitumau Eeserve, the income was increased to £53 Is. 3d. The claims for fencing, rates, destruction of rabbits, &c, upon the Eangitumau Eeserve have far exceeded the revenue available for the payment of the claims. The Commissioners, however, have never repudiated their liability, but have, on the contrary, always expressed their willingness to pay, and have paid as soon and as far as their funds would permit. It is to be observed that local bodies deal with the reserves, for rating purposes, as one common lot. Eepeated application has been made by the Commissioners for separate demand notes, but this has been as repeatedly refused. The Commissioners, having also exhausted all sources whence they could reasonably expect monetary assistance under circumstances compelled by legislation, but without avail, were forced into the position which they now occupy as defendants in an action in the Supreme Court, with every probability of their secondary reserve in the Eangitumau Block being sold for non-payment of rates. The Commissioners cannot allow this opportunity to pass without remarking upon the action taken by the Alfredton Eoad Board recently, which action has arisen purely through the refusal of the Board to render separate accounts or acknowledge special remittances for liquidation of claims on primary reserves. The Board were frequently apprised of the position of the Commissioners: they were informed, long before they took legal proceedings against the Commissioners — to wit, on Ist August, 1885—that the Commissioners " are quite ready to pay any rates for which they may be liable on primary reserves, but have no funds in hand out of which to pay rates on secondary reserves. If you will send a memorandum of account on all reserves vested in the School Commissioners which are not let, exclusive of the Eangitumau Eeserve, the amount will be paid." In addition to this, and before the sale was ordered by the Eegistrar of the Supreme Court, the rates on the primary reserves included in the judgment, amounting to £2 Bs. 9d., were paid by the solicitors to the Commissioners, under their instructions, and received by the Board, as witness an extract from a letter from the Secretary to the Board to the solicitors. The solicitors write, under date 18th May, 1887: "Alfredton Eoad Board has accepted payment of the rates for the
E.—l
96
primary reserves. . . . The Secretary says in his letter to us, ' The general rate on Sections 1, 17, and 181 for the current year, amounting to 3s. 9d., is still unpaid. Please remit.' Sections 37 and 39, Mangaone, are now in Eketahuna District." The balance, 3s. 9d., was remitted by the solicitors in answer to the demand, yet these same reserves were advertised as for sale on the 6th January, 1888. The Commissioners refrain from expressing an opinion on the action taken by the Alfredton Road Board. It is quite clear that the intention of the Board was to sell the reserves; but the Commissioners, anticipating such intention, instructed their solicitors, on the 18th January, 1887, as follows : " The Commissioners will therefore feel obliged if you will take the matter in hand on their behalf, and they suggest that a cheque for the amount of the rates due upon the primary reserves should be lodged with the Registrar, in order, if possible, to stop the sale of these reserves, or that you should protect the interests of the Commissioners in such manner as may seem to you to be the most befitting;" and, on the appearance of the advertisement announcing the intention to sell, the solicitors, in pursuance of instructions from the Commissioners as above stated, and further special instructions, applied for and obtained an injunction restraining the sale. So, for the present, the reserves remain unsacrificed, while the Commissioners are constrained to make yet one more appeal to the Government for an advance to enable them to liquidate the claims against secondary reserves, and they offer the Government, as security, the net balance1 of revenue accruing from secondary reserves from year to year until their liability shall be discharged. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. R. Blaib, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sm, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 23rd April, 1888. In compliance with your circular of the 10th December last, I have the honour to forward herewith the report of the School Commissioners for the year ending the 31st December, 1887. A large number of reserves were submitted to public competition during the year, but only two rural, three suburban, six town, and three village sections were taken up on lease. Tenders were called for the survey of a block of 5,000 acres in the Tahoraite Survey District, and that of Mr. H. Ellison was accepted at £198. This block has been laid off into seven sections, which will be offered for lease on the 22nd proximo. It was decided during the year that, in lieu of ordinary meetings taking place on the first Monday in each alternate month, such meetings should be held when the Chairman or any two Commissioners deem it advisable. Mr. Horace Baker retired during the year from office as a Commissioner, and consequently as Chairman, and I was appointed in his stead to the offices mentioned. Enclosed is a copy of the statement of receipts and expenditure, &c, for the year, which has been submitted to the Controller and Auditor-General. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. G. W. Williams, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Nelson, 14th February, 1888. I have the honour to forward herewith the statement of Nelson School Commissioners' accounts for the year 1887. The only matter for report is that " The Public Bodies' Leaseholds Act, 1886," has been brought into operation during 1887, and that, the annual rentals of the unoccupied education reserves having been duly assessed and offered at auction as provided in the Act, the result has been the sale of leases bringing an additional rental of £98 per annum. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. H. C. Daniell, Secretary.

WESTLAND. Sib, — Office of School Commissioners, Greymouth, 23rd April, 1888. ■ I have the honour to forward the following report of the proceedings of the Commissioners during the past year. "The Kumara Education Eeserves Act, 1879," having virtually taken the administration of the Kumara reserves out of the hands of the Commissioners, the business transacted during the year has been very limited. Though tho Commissioners have several times advertised, the reserves as open for tenders to lease, very few applications have been received. The only reserve at present let as a whole is that at Kokatahi (1,000 acres), the rent being £4 4s. per annum, and the tenure from year to year. The principal revenue received during the year came from the Kumara Eeserve, through the Warden's Court. The charge for miners' rights having been reduced by the Legislature from £1 to 55., this revenue has consequently suffered accordingly. The Property-tax Commissioners sitting at Greymouth declared the Commissioners to be not liable to pay the tax for the reserves situated in the Grey District, while the Commissioners sitting at Hokitika refused to allow the appeal on account of the reserves in the Hokitika District. This has led to the anomaly of the Grey reserves being free from county rates, while the Hokitika reserves have been assessed by the Westland County Council. The Commissioners' meagre revenue is quite unable to bear the burden of paying these rates. The Commissioners directed their solicitor to defend an action brought by the Westland County Council for recovery of rates, and succeeded in gaining a nonsuit. The Kumara Borough Council assessed the Kumara Eeserve; but, on appeal by the Commissioners to the Assessment Court, the rate was disallowed. The effect of these claims upon the Commissioners has been that the limited revenue of the past year has been frittered away in law expenses, the Commissioners having the unsatisfactory alternative of contesting the claims or seeing their whole revenue appropriated by other public bodies. The Commissioners respectfully request that some means may be devised for remedying this undesirable state of affairs. A rush having taken place on Eeserve 129, Kapitea, the Warden recommended that the reserve be brought under the operation of the Mines Act. This was done; but the revenue from the reserve has been inconsiderable. I have, Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. James A. Bonae, Chairman.

CANTEEBUEY. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1887, is 45,052J acres, producing an annual rental of £14,893 3s. lOd. There are now only 121f acres of the estate unlet, and this consists of sand-hill and very poor shingly plain, and is comparatively valueless. The fixed deposit of £100, which matured on the 22nd December, 1887, has been redeposited for one year, it being deemed inexpedient at present to purchase land, for which purpose only is this sum available. The interest, when received, will be credited to the primary estate as revenue. The statement of accounts for this year shows the expenditure to be much in excess of previous years. This is entirely caused by the cost of the subdivisional survey of several reserves, lately let in small farms, made by the Christchurch Survey Department, together with cost of lithograph plans, advertising, &c. However, much higher rentals have been obtained from the subdivision of reserves than would have been got had each reserve been let as a whole, and in almost all cases satisfactory tenants are in possession, thus helping the cause of settlement materially. In my report of last year I drew attention to arrears of rent due en the 1st May, 1886, amounting to £8 10s., shown as uncollected in accounts for 1886, which sum was owing by a bankrupt tenant, from which estate I anticipated little or no dividend : 10s. lid. was received from the Official Assignee; the balance, £7 19s. Id., has been written off as lost. The half-year's rent payable in advance on the 1st May, 1887, has been collected in full. During the past year thirteen reserves have been relet. Of these, three of small area were let by tender; three at an arbitration rental, in accordance with clause 245 of " The Land Act, 1885; " and seven, containing a total area of 7,523 acres, were subdivided and let as thirty-two separate farms, averaging about 235 acres each. During the year 1888 the leases of seven reserves fall in. None of these, however, are ofvery large area ; but it has already been decided to subdivide four of these reserves, and the remainder 14—E. 1.

OTAGO. Sir,— Dunedin, 26th March, 1888. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th December, 1878, and in terms of circular from the Secretary to the Education Department dated 10th December last, I have now the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners of the Provincial District of Otago for the year ended 31st December, 1887. During the year the Commissioners have granted leases of fifty-five agricultural, twenty-four pastoral, twelve town, and six suburban sections in various districts of Otago and Southland, the area being 22,823 acres, and the annual rents £1,174 os. id.. In the case of sixty-two of these sections the original leases had terminated, and the new rent shows an aggregate deficiency of £134 3s. 2d. on the old rent. During the year the Land Department, on behalf of the School Commissioners, sold 200 acres on deferred payment for £700, and also issued seventeen perpetual leases, the total area of which was 5,072 acres, and the annual rent £291 14s. 2d. In the case of thirteen of those leases the land had originally been taken up on perpetual lease at a total annual rent of £615 14s. 2d.; but, owing to the inability of the tenants to pay that rent, the Land Board accepted surrenders, and re-leased the sections at a total annual rental of £212 13s. Arrangements were made during the year with the Survey Department for the subdivision of a block of about 6,000 acres on Eun 194, Waikaia (the lease of which expired on the Ist instant), into sections of from 200 to 320 acres each for agricultural settlement. The land in question is of a fairly good quality, and, as it lies in close proximity to the Waikaia Railway, now in course of construction, it is anticipated that a good many farms will be taken up. The balance of the run, consisting of 15,000 acres, has been leased to Mr. D. Gillanders, for five years, at £250 per annum, or 4d. per acre, the Commissioners reserving the right to take the whole of the run, or any part of it, if required for settlement, upon giving six months' notice. The Commissioners hailed with satisfaction the passage of " The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887," as it greatly facilitates the management of that portion of the estate dealt with by them under their own leasing powers, and they have accordingly come under its operation. Undue competition, and the depression in the value of agricultural and pastoral produce, have rendered the reduction of rents in many cases absolutely necessary, and it is therefore desirable that the Commissioners should be enabled to deal with each case on its own merits. They desire, however, to point out that they have been advised that " The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887," does not meet the case of reserves which have been dealt with by the Land Board, on behalf of the School Commissioners, in terms of the Land Acts of 1882 and 1885. In such cases the School Commissioners delegated their functions to the Land Board, and cannot, therefore, reduce rents under clause 10 of "The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887," or vary contracts under clause 17 of that Act, nor can the Land Board do so, not being a leasing authority within the meaning of the above Act. As this Act was to a great extent introduced in the interest of perpetual lessees and deferredpayment purchasers—two classes forming a large proportion of the School Commissioners' tenants —it will be seen that it is advisable to amend it so as to make it applicable to leases and sales effected by the Land Board on behalf of the Commissioners. They intend, therefore, to request Parliament, during the coming session, to amend the Act in this direction. From the date of the Commissioners taking over the administration of the education reserves, in 1878, to the year 1883, they divided the funds derived from certain secondary education reserves under their control between the Otago and Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools, on the basis of the population of the respective provincial districts, the Dunedin and Invercargill High Schools being the only secondary schools then in operation. In April of that year the Board of Governors of the Otago High School, finding that its income from endowments, fees, &c, was amply sufficient to support ics schools, voluntarily relinquished its share of the above fund, and thenceforth the money available for the Otago District was paid over to the Otago Education Board for the support of the District High Schools in Otago—viz., those established in Oamaru, Palmerston, Port Chalmers, Tokomairiro, and Lawrence. In the latter part of the year just closed the Otago High Schools Board, owing to a large reduction in its revenue, applied to the Commissioners for payment of a share of the secondary education reserve rents, as formerly, and in response to this application the Commissioners, at the end of last quarter, apportioned the share hitherto applicable to the District High Schools of Otago between the Otago and Waitaki High Schools Boards (the latter school having come into operation since the year i 883) on the basis of population, the share of the Waitaki School being calculated on the population of the Waitaki County, as against the population of the remainder of the Otago Provincial District.

Of the sum of £5,464 Bs. sd. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure for the year 1887, as rent, &c, in arrear on 31st December, £1,138 12s. 6d. has been collected during the present quarter. As I have already explained in previous reports, a considerable number of the rents, &c, do not become due until the latter end of the year, and are seldom paid until the commencement of the following year. I may also say that all rents are payable half-yearly in advance, and are debited accordingly. In explanation of the large amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as expenses of management, I would point out that £481 19s. was paid for rates to counties, boroughs, road and river boards, and the Waimea Plains Eailway Company; £78 Bs. 9d. was expended upon the destruction of rabbits on unleased reserves; and £185 3s. handed over to the Southland County Council for road-making, in terms of " The Land Act, 1885." I transmitted the audited statement of receipts and expenditure to the Secretary of the Education Department on the 24th instant. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. P.

EEPOETB OF EDUCATION BOAEDS— continued. NOETH CANTEBBUBY. [This report was received too late to be printed in its proper place. The Board's statement of account appears on page 76.] Sib,— Christchurch, 31st March, 1888. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of North Canterbury for the year ended the 31st December, 1887. The Boaed.—The three members who retired by rotation on the 31st March, 1887, were Mr. Peryman, Mr. Chrystall, and Mr. Weston, who were re-elected. At a meeting held on the 21st April Mr. W. Chrystall was elected Chairman. On the 17th November an election was held to fill an extraordinary vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. Montgomery, when Mr. E. G. Wright was returned. The Board records its sense of the great value of the services which Mr. Montgomery has rendered in the interest of education in this district for many years past. The Board held twenty-four meetings during the year. Of the standing committees, the Appointments Committee met forty-six times, the Buildings Committee twenty-five times, the Normal School Committee four times, and the Finance Committee three times. New Schools and Buildings.—During the year 1887 new school districts were formed at Acton, Lyndhurst, Westerfield, Woodside, and Medbury. Only the first three were entirely new, Woodside being formed out of parts of Oxford West and View Hill, and Medbury out of parts of Hurunui and Mason's Mat. New schools were built at Mayfield, Acton, Lyndhurst, Lyttelton, Okuku, and Medbury, and new masters' houses at Brookside, Woodside, and Pigeon Bay. Additions were made to the schools at Broadfield, Christchurch (West Side), Duvauchelle's Bay, Leeston, North Boad, Okain's Bay, Hampstead, and to the master's house at Bichmond; and considerable improvements at Christchurch East, Elaxton, Gebbie's Valley, Greendale, Little Akaloa, Loburn, and New Brighton. The total expenditure on buildings, including the cost of plans, supervision, &c, was £9,098 10s. sd. A statement of the amount spent in each school district is given in Table No. 7.* The Board has been much embarrassed during the latter part of the year by the want of funds for building purposes.

large number of applications for new schools and for enlargements, many of them of acknowledged necessity, for which the Board finds it impossible to make any provision. In view of the greatlydiminished extent of its expenditure, and the improbability of its being in a position to undertake any large or costly building, the Board came to the conclusion that its work was no longer such as to require the professional assistance of an architect, and accordingly resolved on discontinuing the services of its architect, and substituting a clerk of works at a much lower salary. This change took effect on the Ist December. Maintenance op Schools. —The payments to teachers during the year amounted to £50,991 16s. 6d., and incidental expenses connected with the management (including all allowances to Committees) to £6,901 14s. lOd.; making a total of £57,893 lls. 4d. The average attendance for the year was 15,588. The total cost of maintaining the schools was therefore £3 14s. 3yd. per head of the attendance, and the cost of the teachers' salaries and allowances £3 ss. sd. per head. These amounts show in each case a slight decrease on the cost for the previous year, which was at the rate of £3 15s. sd. and £3 6s. 4Jd. respectively. The following table shows the amounts spent on salaries and incidentals from the year 1878 to 1887, inclusive: — Salaries. Incidentals. Total.

The number of teachers employed at the end of 1887 was 530, of whom 213 (60 males and 153 females) were pupil-teachers. The number of sewing mistresses was 48. Attendance. —The number of school districts at the end of the year was 136, and the number of separate schools, including the practising department of the Normal School, 154. Two of these were aided schools. The schools were classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, 4 ; 15 and under 20 pupils, 15 ; 20 and under 25 pupils, 16 ; 25 and under 50 pupils, 43 ; 50 and under 75 pupils, 24 ; 75 and under 100 pupils, 14 ; 100 and under 150 pupils, 16 ; 150 and under 300 pupils, 12 ; 300 and under 500 pupils, 5 ; 500 pupils and upwards, 5. The usual returns of the number and ages of the children, and of the number receiving instruction in the various subjects, are appended. The following table shows the total roll number, number in average attendance, and percentage of attendance in the schools of this district from 1878 :—
Inspection.—As was explained in the Board's last report, it had been resolved at the close of the previous year to employ three Inspectors in this district, and the newly-appointed Inspector, Mr. G. Hogbcn, entered on his duties on the 10th January. This addition to their number has enabled the Inspectors to make up the arrears outstanding at the end of 1886, and (with one or two exceptions, in which circumstances rendered it necessary to defer the examination of a school till after the holidays) to complete the work of inspection and examination by the end of December. The Inspectors' annual report, which is appended, contains very full information on the general condition of the schools, with statistical tables showing the results of their examinations. It is gratifying to find that they report a substantial improvement in nearly every respect. The percentage of passes is higher than it was last year in every standard, and for the whole district has risen from 38-61 to 42-95. Noemal School. —Early in December an official notice was received that after the current year the grant of £2,000 hitherto allowed to the Board for the maintenance of the Training School would be discontinued. The Board was accordingly compelled to terminate the engagements of all the officers of the training department, and at the end of the year the Normal School as originally constituted ceased to exist. Subsequently, by the date of this report, arrangements have been

made for carrying on the training in a less expensive but, it is hoped, an efficient manner, by utilising the services of the students as teachers in the Practising School. Mr. Malcolm's report for 1887 is appended. Finance. —Towards the close of the year the question of a reduction in the public expenditure on education came prominently forward. A Parliamentary Committee was appointed to consider the working of the Education Act, and forwarded a series of questions to the various Boards and other educational authorities. The replies given by this Board were as follows : (1.) The interests of education would not suffer by raising the school-age for entrance from five to six years; but the real saving would be little or nothing in the country schools, and in the town schools would not be in proportion to the diminution in numbers. Ultimately the saving would be chiefly in the item of school-buildings. (2.) The payment of fees would be no economy from a national point of view : it would only be introducing a far more expensive mode of collection, and one that has been found to work badly in all systems of national primary education. The payment of fees by the more advanced scholars only would be a most objectionable tax upon progress. (3.) The Board does not believe that the educational system in this district could be conducted efficiently with smaller means than are now at its disposal. Any curtailment of national grants for education will have to be supplemented by school districts. This means a more expensive method of raising the necessary funds. The Board has at present a large number of applications for necessary school-buildings, which there are no funds to meet. (4.) While the Board is not prepared to indorse all the items of the present syllabus, and would prefer more time being given to the thorough teaching of fewer subjects, it does not believe that such an alteration would materially affect the cost of primary education. In December the Government sent notice that it was intended to cease payment of the extra capitation allowance of 45., to raise the school-age from five years to six, to abolish the working average, and to discontinue grants to training schools. These changes, all of which, excepting the proposal to raise the school-age, were carried into effect, involved a loss of income to the Board of upwards of £7,000. To meet this deficiency it became necessary for the Board to make a correspondingly large reduction in its expenditure, which at the present date has been satisfactorily accomplished.' But, as no actual retrenchment was made till some time after the beginning of the new year, its details will find their proper place in the report for the year 1888. Scholarships.—The examination for scholarships was held in the month of April. The number of competitors was 115, of whom 60 (36 boys and 24 girls) were in Class A, 43 (24 boys and 19 girls), in Class B 7 (5 boys and 2 girls) in Class C, and 5(2 boys and 3 girls) in Class D. Scholarships were awarded to Edith Verran, Thomas Vangioni, Hubert Prince, Andrew Muir, Elsie Low, Reginald Dixon, and John Olliver in Class A; George Lancaster, Jeannie Mulholland, Sidney Denham, John Mcllroy and Philip Foster in Class B : Clara Waterston, Eose Smith, and Thomas Gibson in Class C; Kate Isherwood and William Dawson in Class D. The scholarships current at the end of 1887 were held as shown in the following table. [Not reprinted.] I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. W. Chbystall, Chairman.
Eepobt on the Noemal School. Sic, — Normal School, Ghristchurch, Bth February, 1888. I have the honour to submit my report on the Normal School for the year ended 31st December, 1887. The session commenced on the Ist February, with 25 female students and 11 male students : total, 36; and at the end of the year there were in attendance 38 females and 19 males : total, 57. Of these, 15 females and 2 males sat in January of the present year for the E Certificate, and 1 female for completion of certificate ; 15 females and 10 males sat for the D Certificate, and 5 for completion of certificate, these having obtained a partial D through matriculation or previous examination. One female and one male presented themselves in November last for the first half of the B.A. degree, and two females for the second half. Seventeen students also presented themselves for matriculation at the University of New Zealand. During the last two years I have observed a very marked improvement in the art of teaching and of class management among the pupil-teachers in the service of the Board, plainly indicating either that those selected are better adapted for teaching than many of their predecessors were, or that the head teachers of the schools in which they have served their apprenticeship have been paying more attention to the teaching of these young persons than formerly was the case. With reference to selection, I am strongly of opinion that the Board, through their Inspectors, and the teachers of the schools only, should have a voice in the matter, because otherwise local influence may mar the whole of the efforts of the teachers. When once suitable persons have been selected, and a period of probation allowed to thoroughly test their fitness, the head teachers cannot be too careful with their training; for where, as in North Canterbury, such a large number of pupil-teachers are employed, the condition of education in the different localities must depend to a great degree upon the ability of these junior assistants, both as scholars and teachers. In my report for the year 1884 I pointed out means to attain to the end desiderated, and I am pleased to hear that several masters have adopted my suggestions and found them very valuable. As I then said, so I say again, "To tell them [i.e., the pupil-teachers] to teach is not enough : they must be shown how to teach. The teacher would find it to be advantageous to all concerned were he frequently to give model lessons in the presence of all his pupil-teachers, and to arrange that they in their turn taught certain subjects before him and their fellow pupil-teachers. In other words, criticism lessons should be given at regular periods, when the headmaster would be able to point out defects, and to show how
B.—l
108
these could be avoided. To leave pupil-teachers without careful instruction and guidance in the art of teaching is a fatal mistake." Throughout the criticism lessons of the present year, and during the regular daily practice in the school, I have observed to a wider extent than ever before that the students have had an end in view in their lessons, and have sought largely by induction to reach that end. There are subjects and divisions of subjects in which the deductive method must be employed, but there cannot be a doubt that the more induction is employed the more solid will be the teaching, and the better will be the education imparted. Professor Bickerton's excellent lectures to the students on experimental science during the latter part of the year will tend largely to show them the very great value of inductive reasoning and processes, and if such only be the result the money spent by the Board on those lectures will be well spent. A large number of the students attended the classes of Canterbury College, and were well reported upon by the several Professors, especially so by Professor Brown, who, after his usual custom, supplied me with full reports on the work done by each individual. Now that retrenchment is the order of the day, and the Board find it absolutely necessary to take a fresh departure, I trust that they will seek to keep up the connection between the two institutions at all hazards, and even, if possible, make that connection still closer. It is, in my opinion, most essential to the education of the country that thoroughly equipped normal schools should be maintained; but at the same time it is of the greatest importance that students of normal schools should be afforded the opportunity of attending university colleges in those subjects in which they are sufficiently advanced to take advantage of the lectures. The normal-school students, pure and simple, are very apt to become contracted in their views, coming in close contact with those only who are preparing for the profession of a teacher; but, when they rub shoulders with others who are preparing themselves for other walks in life, that very contact, independent of the valuable lectures they are privileged to hear, is an education in itself, raises them out of the very narrow groove in which they are so apt to run, and makes them citizens of a wider world than that of the teacher. As usual, the teachers of the practising department have given me ready and willing assistance in supervising and directing the work of the students while engaged in teaching, and I especially return'my warmest thanks to the heads of the various departments for their hearty co-operation. In these head teachers the Board has very efficient and capable servants, whose services seem highly valued by the parents of the children under their charge. The school was never as a whole in a more nourishing condition than it was last year, and the. pupils seemed willing and anxious to meet the efforts of their teachers half-way. To me this pleasing change in the boys' school was particularly gratifying, showing that the headmaster and his able staff of assistants could not only teach well, but also that they understood child nature, and based their actions on that knowledge. The infant, girls', and model schools were conducted as usual on excellent methods: indeed, in all, the students enjoyed excellent opportunities of seeing what can be done in the practising schools attached to training colleges. Where all have done so well it might appear invidious to make any distinction, and I shall refrain from doing so, but I cannot but refer to the loss the Board has sustained by Miss Strudwick's resignation of the position of headmistress of the girls' school, a position she honoured during the three years she was in charge. I always found Miss Strudwick busily employed in her duties, willing to take any hint given to her, and anxious that the students who chanced to be practising in her department should profit as much as possible while they were there. In fine, Miss Strudwick, in my opinion, was one of the ablest, kindest, and most hardworking lady teachers it has been my lot to meet with ; and the scene of her parting with her pupils and her fellow-teachers showed that they regretted the separation, and felt they were losing a true friend. From what I have seen of Miss Kitchingman's work, I think she will prove a worthy successor to Miss Strudwick. During the year a change was made in conducting the model school. Up to that time the most of the teaching was done by the students in training under the supervision and direction of the master of the school, the master himself teaching the whole of Monday of each week, and occasionally giving special lessons before the students on those subjects which they seemed not competent to teach, or only imperfectly to teach. In June, however, it was decided upon that the master should take sole charge of the school, while the students paid attention to his methods, took careful notes of what they saw, and made a lengthened report on one day's work. This seems a decided improvement so far as the pupils' education is concerned, but I am not so sure about the advantages to the young teachers. lam convinced that if you want to learn how to do anything you must do it for yourself and not through any other individual. But, as the discipline of the school suffered through the weakness of some of the ex-pupil-teachers and others, particularly the latter, who practised there, it was decided to adopt the present plan. The discipline of the room is very much improved, and under the able management of this school by Mr. Petrie the trainees will see what can be done in such a school as many of them will have to take charge of throughout the country. Indeed, if good results can be obtained there, much better ought to be the rule in country schools, the children of which are more easily managed than those in a city. In the training department, Messrs. Watkins and Newton have done excellent work during the year, and I shall be very pleased, to hear that the services of both have been retained by the Board ; for it is simply an absolute impossibility for any one man, however able and willing he may be, to perform all the duties of a training college, and in these two gentlemen the Board have very competent and able teachers. I have, &c, The Chairman, Board of Education, North Canterbury. W. Malcolm, Principal. [Approximate Cost of Paper. —Preparation, nil; printing (1,725 copies), ££144 15s.]
