1890. NEW ZEALAND.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

Office of the Department of Education, Mx Lord,— Wellington, sth May, 1890. 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, 1889. I have, &c, T. W. HISLOP. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Onslow, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT. In this report the work of the public schools is made most prominent, although all the other branches of public instruction are brought under notice. The Appendix contains the reports of the Education Boards and of the several bodies of School Commissioners. The reports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), and the report on the annual examination for teachers' certificates (E.-1a), are printed separately; and there are separate papers containing more detailed information respecting those institutions and operations which are less copiously treated here, as follows: Native schools (E.-2), industrial schools (E.-3), school for deaf-mutes (E.-4), the New Zealand University (E.-5), the University of Otago (E.--6), Canterbury College (E.-7), Auckland University College (E.-8), secondary schools (E.-9), and the Costley Institute (E.-3a). Public Schools. The increase for the year in the number of children under instruction may be regarded as normal. The average attendance for the whole year is higher than it was for the preceding year by 3,266; the average attendance for the i—E. 1.

fourth quarter of the year is greater by 3,459 than the corresponding average of the preceding year; the average of the weekly roll-number is increased by 2,575. For 1889 the numbers are —average attendance for the year, 93,374; average attendance for the fourth quarter, 94,308; average of weekly roll-number for the year,"116,211. Table A contains the principal statistics of attendance from the date of the passing of " The Education Act, 1877."

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1889.

In the next table (B) the principal facts with respect to the attendance in the several education districts are exhibited. In one district (Westland) an actual decline has taken place in the number of children under instruction, and in some others the increase is very small. The regularity of attendance —as measured by the ratio between the average of the daily attendance and the average of the weekly roll-number—continues to improve, and has now reached 803 per cent, for the whole colony. As usual Otago leads the van, with a percentage (higher than ever) of 85*7. The improvement in this respect is participated in by all the districts except Auckland, Taranaki, and Wanganui.

There is no very noticeable change in the proportion of the sexes and of children of different ages. The boys are still nearly 52 per cent, of the whole number of pupils (51*6 for 1889; 51*8 for the year before). The proportion of children under ten to children over ten also remains practically unaltered (under ten, 545 per cent, of the whole); but the proportion of children under seven, which for years was declining, has considerably increased. Table Cis a summary of a more detailed statement, with respect to age and sex, which will be found as Table No. 1 in the Appendix (p. 1).

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1889.

Corresponding to the increase in the proportion of very young children is an increase in the proportional size of the preparatory classes; notwithstanding which, there is a decided improvement in the proportional number of children in the classes above the Third Standard. The numbers and proportions are shown in Table D, and more fully in Table No. 2 in the Appendix (p. 2).

TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1889.

A comparison of this table (D) with the corresponding table of last year and with this year's record of passes in the several standards (Table G) indicates,

with fair approximation to accuracy, the number of new pupils admitted during the year, and the number of children who have left during the year. The admissions cannot be less than 14,802 (the number by which the Preparatory and First and Second Standard classes have increased during the year, plus the number promoted from them to the Third Standard class); and the departures cannot be less than 12,031, made up as follows: 2,069 out of the Third Standard class; 2,544 out of the Fourth Standard class; 2,973 out of the Fifth Standard class; 2,041 out of the Sixth Standard class; and 2,404 pupils who have passed the Sixth Standard. The statement in Table B of the numbers entering and leaving during the year is affected by all cases of removal from school to school, and of long absence from any school. The results of the comparison described in this paragraph accord well with the census statistics, which —as shown in the Education Report of two years ago —indicate that about 15,000 new pupils may be expected every year in the present state of the population of the colony. The average age of the children at the passing of any one standard varies with the districts, being, for example, much lower in Nelson than in Taranaki, but does not vary materially from year to year. If eight years may be assumed as the age at which a fairly well taught child may be expected to pass the First Standard, and if such a child ought to pass one standard every year, then the normal mean of age for all the standards is ten years and a half (the mean between eight and thirteen). The actual mean—derived from the averages in the several districts'—is (as is shown in Table E) eleven years and three quarters, which is very slightly above the mean of preceding years.

TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1889.

The numerical reports of the Inspectors are in all respects indicative of progress. Out of 113,366 belonging to the schools on the days of inspection, 54,937 or 4845 per cent, passed a standard. Of those who did not pass, 2,825 were absent; 2,949 were " excepted," not having attended long enough or regularly enough to establish an expectation of passing; and 40,792 were in the preparatory class and the class that had already passed the highest standard. The remainder is the number of those who are reckoned as having failed. This number is 11,863, which is 17 P75 per cent, of the number of those who ought to have passed. The reports for the several districts are summarised in the following table (F): —

TABLE F.—Inspection Statistics.

It is not quite satisfactory to find the percentage of marks assigned for " class "-subjects so low as 52. The " class "-subjects are not in any sense optional. A class must be examined in these subjects before any pupil in it is admitted to examination in the " pass "-subjects. If the " class "-subjects received as much attention as the " pass "-subjects the results of examination expressed in marks ought to be in favour of the " class "-subjects, because in the examination of a class all good work receives recognition, while at the "pass" examination the good work of a pupil in several subjects may be lost to view if he fails by doing badly in one subject. It might therefore have been expected that as, of the 69,749 children examined in both sets of subjects, 54,937 —or 79 per cent.- —succeeded in passing, the percentage of marks for the " class "-subjects would have been considerably higher than 79, instead of being, as it is, only 52. The conclusion suggested by the comparison is that a subject is likely to receive less attention if it ranks as a " class"-subject than it would receive if it were included among the " pass"-subjects. It appears further that " class"-subjects receive very little more attention than those subjects which are called " additional," the neglect of which in small schools involves no reproach. The maximum of marks obtainable for " additional " subjects is 120, and the mean of such marks is 49*8, which is 415 per cent, of the maximum, and does not compare unfavourably with the "percentage in class-subjects," 52"1. In Table G the passes and failures in the several districts are distinguished according to standards as well as according to districts. The reports made to the several Education Boards by their Inspectors are printed in a separate paper (E.-Ib).

reading, and—although history and grammar are both required first in the class preparing for the Third Standard —about 4,500 pupils that learn grammar are not learning history. The advocates of technical instiTiction will be glad to notice that, out of 115,456 pupils on the school rolls, there are but 9,115 that do not learn" drawing.

TABLE H.—Number of Pupils instructed in each Subject.

The increase in the number of schools —from 1,128 to 1,155 —is, as might be reasonably expected, not exactly proportional to the increase of attendance; the mean average attendance for a school having risen during the year from 805 to 817. It is satisfactory to notice that the number of schools having less than 50 pupils each is less than it was a year ago, and that within that group of schools the number of very small schools (with less than 15 each) is conspicuously smaller than it was. In Table J the schools are classified according to their size.

TABLE J.—Number of Schools, December, 1889. (In this enumeration every couple of half-time schools is reckoned as one school, except in the column for number of such schools.)

The number of teachers, which is 2,894 when sewing-mistresses are not reckoned, has more than recovered from the decline of the preceding year; but in proportion to the number of pupils there is a decrease, the average number of pupils to one teacher being 32*6, whereas at the end of 1888 it

was 32. The most conspicuous increase (as Table X shows) is in the number of mistresses in sole charge of schools. The number of boys acting as pupilteachers* is larger by 20 than the corresponding number for 1888; while the number of girls acting in the same capacity is 18 less than it was. The apparent increase in the number of sewing-mistresses is only apparent, the number in Taranaki having been overlooked in the making-up of the return for 1888.

TABLE K. —Number of Teachers, December, 1889.

The rate of salary and allowance to teachers at the end of the year was £295,237, divided between 3,058 persons, an average of .£96 10s. lid. The highest salary was £501 Bs.; there were five of £400 and upwards, but less than £500; 59 others of £300 and upwards ; 215 others of £200 and upwards; and 1,022 of £100, but less than £200 : and 677 teachers (besides pupil-teachers and sewing-mistresses) receive less than £100 a year each. The distribution of these salaries according to districts is shown in Table L, and the names and salaries in detail are given in Table No. 8 (Appendix, pp. 9-52).

TABLE L. —Salaries of Teachers, December, 1889.

Tha enumeration in Tables X and L includes 1,979 places above the rank of pupil-teacher, but, as some of these places were vacant, and as one or two relieving teachers were employed by the Boards, there is a slight difference between the

number of places and the number of teachers. The number of teachers at the end of the year was 1,976. Of this number, 1,591 were certificated teachers, nine were to have certificates on obtaining from the Inspectors the marks required by the regulations, and twenty on completing the required term of qualifying service; so that 1,620 had become qualified so far as examination could qualify them. It follows that there were 356 who were not so qualified; of whom, 151 had obtained "partial pass," 140 had not offered themselves for examination, and 65 had been examined and had failed. The state of the case is shown in Table M. By the application to the 356 unqualified teachers of the results of the January examination at Avhich many of them presented themselves, 63 of them are transferred to the qualified class, and there remain 293, as follows : 115 have "partial pass," 112 have never been examined, 66 have been examined and have failed. The number of certificated teachers not engaged in the work of public instruction at the end of the year was about 800, and there were besides about 60 engaged as Inspectors, or in high schools, or in Native schools, or as normal-school students, or as pupil-teachers.

The balances in hand amounted to about £32,850 at the end of the year, and there were other money assets to the value of about £600, in addition to the grant of £25,000 for buildings, which was distributed during the first three months of

this year, and which may fairly be regarded (as it is for the purposes of the following tables —-O and P) as coining under the head of assets; but there were also liabilities amounting to about .£32,400, so that the balance of assets over liabilities was only^about £26,000. The state of the case with respect to the several Boards is shown in Tables O and P : —

TABLE O. —Money Assets (and Deficits), December, 1889.

TABLE P.—Money Liabilities (and Balances), December, 1889.

The only Board with an amount of liabilities in excess of assets is the Board of the District of Grey, and in that case the deficit is less than £60. No other Board has a deficit on account of expenses of maintenance, but there are three that show a deficit in the special account for buildings. The sum of £25,000 for school buildings, granted by the House of Eepresentatives last session, has been distributed to the Boards, in proportion partly to population and partly to special needs, as follows : — £ s. d.

The returns of school accommodation, compared with those relating to attendance, show that there is an increase for the year in the number of overcrowded schools, whidh has risen from 56 to 81. On the other hand the number of schools without residences has been reduced from 366 to 339 ; and the number of schools not belonging to Boards from 94 to 88. Nine Boards had assets amounting to £8,500 available for the provision of new accommodation, and the other four Boards had nothing specially applicable to this purpose, but deficits amounting to £5,000 on account of buildings. A comparison of Table Q with the corresponding table in the last report shows, by the example of Marlborough and Nelson, that a small increase of attendance suffices to bring a considerable number of schools into the category of overcrowded. Last year in the two districts named there were no overcrowded schools, and now there are six in Marlborough and nine in Nelson.

TABLE Q. —Deficiency School Buildings.

By a circular issued in January of this year the Boards were invited to send in estimates of the cost of supplying accommodation adequate to the necessities of the districts. When all assets applicable to the purpose have been deducted the estimates amount to about £44,250, as follows :— Auckland, about ... ... ... ... £3,500 Taranaki, ~ • •• ■■■ •■■ ■■■ 750 Wanganui, ~ ■•• ■■• ■■■ ... 7,500 Wellington, „ ... ... ... ... 1,600 Hawke's Bay, „ ... ... ... ... 5,100 Nelson, „ ... .... ... ... 3,800 Grey, „ ... ... ... ... 1,150 North Canterbury, „ ... ... ... ... 5,600 South Canterbury, „ ... ... ... ... 1,000 Otago, „ ... ... ... ... ' 12,250 Southland, „ ... ... ... ... 2,000 £44,250 In some cases the estimates include all that would be required to complete the supply of residences, &c, while in others only urgent needs are recognised. If all the estimates yvere made on the larger scale the total would apparently be about £100,000. Board Scholaeships. The number of Education Board Scholarships current at the end of the year was 241, of which 137-swere held by boys and 104 by girls, and the expenditure on these scholarships for the year was .£6,655 18s. 7d., as shown in detail in Table ft.

School Committees. So far as summaries of the accounts of the School Committees have been furnished by the Boards, it appears that contributions have been received from local sources to the extent of £2,355 6s. 6d., in addition to the amounts granted to the Committees by the several Boards. These local contributions are as follows:— Auckland ... ... £236 17 9 !

The reports and accounts of the several bodies of School Commissioners follow those of the Education Boards in the Appendix (p. 87). The income of the Commissioners for the year amounted to .£41,854 lls. Id. Out of this sum they paid .£1,707 9s. Id. to the authorities of secondary schools, and .£81,694 Bs. 7d. to the Education Boards. This last amount, though paid to local Boards, was received by them as an advance for which they had to account, and is balanced by a corresponding reduction in the payments made to them by the department.

Native Schools. At tlie beginning of the year 75 Native schools were in operation, besides the four boarding-schools that receive pupils by arrangement with the department. The old school at Upper Waihou, after being closed for a year, was reopened in April, 1889, with a good prospect of usefulness ; it is now known by the name of Rangiahua. The school at Paihia was scarcely large enough at any time to justify its continuance, and it has been abandoned. The school attendance at Maungatapu has been absorbed into the younger school at Ngapeke. At Little River the Native people live on such terms with European neighbours that on the death of the late master it was considered unnecessary to maintain a Native school any longer; and at Awanui the European children so far outnumber the Native that the department has thought it best to ask the Auckland Education Board to carry on the work of instruction there. As a result of these changes the number of schools in operation during the last quarter of the year was reduced to 72. The number has since been further reduced by the closing of the school at Te Oreore, in consequence of the apathy of the people of the place, and of the school at Mangamaunu, which the decline of population has rendered unnecessary. The department would have transferred the school at Ivirikiri to the Auckland Education Board, but it was found unadvisable to persist in making the change, the Native people of the place being strongly opposed to it, and the site having been acquired under " The Native Schools Sites Act, 1880." The Auckland Board does not see its way to undertake the management of all the Native schools within the bounds of its district, except on condition of a special capitation rate higher than the statutory capitation allowed in the case of public schools. There seems, therefore, to be no urgent reason for disturbing the present arrangement. For the 72 schools there were 62 masters and 9 mistresses, with 23 assistant mistresses and 45 teachers of needlework. The salaries vary from ,£6O to £'235 for masters, from £80 to £165 for mistresses, and from £10 to £55 for assistants ; the.salary of a sewing-mistress is £20. The whole expenditure on salaries, and allowances for removal and other purposes, was £11,857 Bs. Id. for the year. The remaining expenditure of the year (£4,097 ss. 6d.) is made up of the following items : Books and school requisites, £444 19s. ; prizes, £224 12s. Bd. ; repairs and minor works, £448 18s. 7d.; inspection and superintendence, including travelling, £681 os. 4d.; board of Maori girls in teachers' families, £33 ; grants to boarding-schools and travelling-expenses of scholars, £1,547 9s. 4d.; buildings, fencing, and furniture, £557 14s. lid. ; sundries, £159 10s. Bd. A contribution of £88 18s. lOd. was received from Native reserves funds, and, when this is deducted, the Government expenditure for the year is £15,865 14s. 9d. The number of children in attendance at the end of the year was 2,462. Of this number, 218 were half-caste, 432 European (or between European and halfcaste), "and the remaining 1,812 Maori (or between Maori and half-caste). There were 2,310 between five and fifteen years old, 1,300 of these being under

ten ; 98 were above fifteen, and 54 below live. The average attendance for the fourth quarter of the year was 1,932, and for the whole year 2,045. These numbers indicate a slight decline. The number of Government pupils at the boarding-schools was 62 in December, and there were 97 other pupils attending the schools : at St. Stephen's, Parnell, 16 Government pupils and 27 others ; at Te Aute, 10 Government pupils and 53 others ; at Hukarere, 20 Government pupils and 17 others ; and at St. Joseph's, Napier, 16 Government pupils. The Native school inspection report (E.-2) contains copious information with respect to all the schools. The department continues to receive most important assistance from Mr. Bishop, Mr. Bush, and Mr. Booth, who act as District Superintendents; and thanks are due to Mr. Hammond, Kegistrar of the Native Land Court, Auckland, and to Captain Preece, for many services rendered. Deaf-mute Institution. The school at Sumner, where the mutes are taught to speak, and to read from the lips the speech of others, had 42 pupils at the end of the year —the same number as at the end of 1887. The total expenditure was £3,253 ss. Bd., and the amount contributed by the parents of the pupils was £253 11s. The expenditure was made up as follows : Salaries, £1,135 ss. lOd. ; board, £1,272 6s. lid.; rent, £575; travelling, £151 3s. Bd.; sundries, £119 9s. 3d. The report is printed as a separate paper (E.-3). It is proposed to remove the school to the neighbourhood of Riccarton, where a site of ten or eleven acres has been acquired by the Government for the purpose, and a sum of money will be put upon this year's estimates for the erection of a suitable building. The Blind. The number of blind children is still, happily, too small to justify the establishment of a school in New Zealand for their special instruction. All cases brought under the 3iotice of the Government receive attention from the Colonial Secretary's Department, which now partly or wholly maintains thirteen pupils in the asylums of Australia —ten in Melbourne and three in Sj'dney. Industrial Schools. The management of the Industrial Schools has been now for ten years in the hands of the Education Department. In 1880 the number of children committed to the schools was 241, and in 1885 (the year in which the Hospital and Charitable Aid Act was passed) the number committed was 340, the average number of committals for the six years included between the two dates being 298-5. During this,period the number of children depending on the schools for their maintenance increased from 572 to 1,116. During the last four years the maximum of committals has been less than the minimum for the preceding six years, the numbers being (in order of date) 238, 228, 190, and 169. The effect of such a continuous reduction in the number of committals is beginning to appear in the form of a reduction in the number of children depending on the schools for maintenance. From 1,116 in 1885 this number rose to 1,129 in 1886, and to 1,158 in 1887, and, having reached this maximum, has declined in the two succeeding years to 1,106 and 1,054. The whole number of "inmates," including those who are out at service or licensed on probation to their friends, increased from 807 in 1880 to 1,566 in 1885, and has since declined to 1,525. The year 1889 began with 1,554 inmates on the school-rolls, 1,106 of them being dependent for maintenance (605 in the schools and 501 boarded out). During the year 169 were admitted to the schools, and 198 were discharged, the roll-number being thus reduced to 1,525, of whom 1,054 are dependent for maintenance (600 in the schools and 454 boarded out). The number " discharged " (198) included—l 7 (12 boys and 5 girls) transferred to the Costley Institute ; 6 who attained the age of twenty-one "years; 1 who was married during the year; 1 who was adopted; and 6 children who died. The number of deaths

XIII

E.—l

has been greater than in either of the two next preceding years, but below the average of the preceding five years, the numbers for six years (including the year 1889) being as follows : 10, 8, 9, 4, 4, 6 : total 41. These 41 cases are distributed among the schools as follows : Nelson, 17 ; Caversham, 12; Burnham, 6; Auckland, 3; Wellington, 2; Ponsonby, 1. The six cases of the year were as follows : At Nelson, two boys of twelve years died of meningitis ; a girl of ten died of haemateniesis, having been ill from the time of her admission; and an idiot boy of eight died of atrophy. At Christchurch Hospital, a girl of eleven, from Burnham, died of meningitis. At Caversham, a boy of fifteen died suddenly from heart disease. The numbers for 1888 and 1889 are compared and classified in Table T.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1888 and 1881).

Of the 169 children admitted, 6 were received by arrangement with their parents, 67 were committed as "destitute," 11 as " vagrant," 31 as living in disreputable places, 7 as " uncontrollable," and 47 as guilty of punishable offences. According to the police reports there were among them 67 who were not attending school, many of them too young to attend; of the rest, 78 were attending public schools, 21 were attending Roman Catholic schools, 2 were attending high schools, and 1 a private school. Sixty-three are said to belong to the Church of England, 58 are described as Catholic, 39 Presbyterian, 3 " Protestant," 3 Methodist, 1 Baptist, 1 Congregationalist, and 1 as belonging to the Salvation Army. Of the 1,054 children living in the schools or boarded out, 617 are Protestant and 437 Catholic; and of the 471 inmates under control (at service, with friends, &c), 349 are Protestant and 122 Catholic. So far as the police reports afford means of estimating the character of the parents of the children committed during the year, it appears, as shown in Table U, that 52 were the children of parents who probably are not to blame for their condition, and that 31 others ought, perhaps, to be placed in the same category ; while 86 owe their position to the faults of one or both parents (the woman being in fault in 37 cases, the man in 22, while in 27 other cases both were to blame).

trial schools, has submitted its accounts for 1889, and these, together with a report from the Trustees, are printed, and will be submitted to Parliament (E.-3a) Tbe expenditure, as might be expected, is declining, and the net cost to the Government is being more than proportionately diminished. The total cost in 1888 was £13,697 15s. lid.; for 1889 the cost is ,£11,630 19s. 4d., showing a reduction of more than ,£2,000. The net cost is reduced by a further difference of £750. The cost of the Government schools for the year is shown in Table W.

Univeksity and Affiliated Colleges. The report presented by the Chancellor of the New Zealand University to His Excellency the Governor is printed as a parliamentary paper (8.-5). It appears from this report that, as a result of the examinations held in November, 1889, the University has conferred degrees on 55 candidates, —on 20 the degree of M.A., on 27 the degree of 8.A., on 3 the degree of B.Sc, and on 5 the degree of M.B. The number of graduates admitted by examination is now 234, as follows : M.A., 82; M.A. and LL.D., 1; M.A. and LL.B., 4 ; M.A. and B.Sc, 6 ; 8.A., 122; B.A. and LL.B., 7; B.A. and M.8., 1; LL.D., 1; LL.B., 1; M.D., 2; M.8., 7. The number of undergraduates now on the books of the University is 1,051. The number of students in attendance in 1889 at the institutions affiliated to the University, as reported by those institutions, was 588, including 256 not matriculated, as follows : Auckland University College, 113 (59 not matriculated) ; Canterbury College, 279 (139 not matriculated); Otago University, 196 (58 not matriculated). The reports of these institutions are printed as separate papers (E.-8, E.-7, E.-6). Secondaey Schools. The reports of the governing bodies of the several high schools or grammar schools are printed in a separate paper (E.-9). The principal statistics of the schools are exhibited in Table Y.

The number on the roll and the average number in attendance—2,l47 and 2,019 respectively—are a very little higher than the corresponding numbers (2,120 and 2,004) for the preceding year, so that the scale appears at last to have turned, and it may be hoped that there is an end to the steady decline observable for several previous years. The principal income of the schools consisted of about £18,500 derived from school fees, and about £25,400 from endowments. The amount expended in salaries was a little over £30,000.

Post Office Savings Banks. The department is indebted to the Secretary to the Post Office for the following>statement of the number of new accounts opened during 1889 by meansof postage-stamps affixed to cards and deposited in Post Office Savings Banks, the total number of such accounts open, and the amount at credit on the 31st December, 1889. This plan of deposit was designed to promote thrift among the pupils of the public schools : —

Colonial University Besebves. The Secretary to the Treasury has furnished a statement of the accumulated income derived from reserves made, under the authority of an Act of 1868, for the endowment of a colonial university. By an Act of 1874 this money is reserved for the purposes of higher education in the districts in which the reserves are situated, to be applied to those purposes in such manner as the General Assembly shall from time to time determine. The present amount of the accumulated income from such reserves in Canterbury is £971 Is. 4d. ;, from those in Westland, ,£135 7s. 6d. ; and from those in Taranaki, £24 14s. 3d. School Libraries. A very inexpensive method of providing a school with a lending library is described in a letter lately received from the Headmaster of the Christchurch Normal School. An extract from this letter will be sent by circular in a few days to all teachers of public schools.

CIIiCULAR. To the Teachers of the Public Schools. Wellington, sth May, 1890. Subjoined is an extract from a letter from a Headmaster, in which he describes a successful method of instituting and conducting a school-library. It will be seen that the method requires no expenditure of money. The Minister of Education thinks it likely that many teachers who have hitherto been deterred by the consideration of expense will be glad to receive this suggestion and to act upon it. Wi. Jas. Habens, Secretary for Education.

Extract. Normal School, Ghrisfccshurch, 29th April, 1890. . . . . My plan is exceedingly simple. I take into the room a few attractive books, and tell the boys fcbat they are my contribution to their library. The class-teacher usually adds a few more, and the boys are then told that any one wishing to become a member has only to lend a book to the library. This book must i>e first brought to me for approval. If I think it will do I initial it, and the boy then takes it to his teacher. I need not say that no books are accepted unless I feel sure that they are saeh as boys will read. iii—E. 1.

In a large school like the Normal I find it convenient to have three distinct libraries—one for the Third Standard, one for the Fourth, and one for the Fifth and Sixth combined. In this way the sympathies of all the class-teachers are enlisted ; the labour of changing the books and keeping the records is lightened by subdivision ; and the boys lend their books more freely when they know that no one but their own class-fellows will have the privilege of taking them out. AiHhe boys go through the standards their books go with them. The main library therefore, at the top of the school, receives a large accession of books every year, while at the same time a fresh library is founded in the Third Standard. Thus a healthy circulation is kept up, and the library never becomes stale. So much is this the case that boys frequently go on taking books out for years after they leave. In order that you may be able to see the kind of book we get, and the scale on which we are able to work, I send you the catalogues of the respective libraries. You will notice that there are over 300 volumes in the main library, over 100 in the Fourth Standard, and 30 in the Third Standard. The total number of boys on the roll is about 360. It may occur to you that, as the books are only lent, there must be a steady drain as boys leave. In practice, however, we lose very few books in this way ; the boys nearly always leave them on the shelves. It will bo plain, I think, that a library formed on this plan is easily and cheaply started, and is self-supporting. It is the teacher's own fault if there is any lumber on the shelves. He has only to exercise reasonable care to insure that the largo majority of the books shall be " effectives." In this way only can a school-library be popular. The plan has been adopted with uniform success at the East Christchurch, at the West Christchurch, and the Papanri Schools, and I see no reason why it should not be found useful in the country as well as in the towns I am, Yours faithfully, William Wilsoh.

KEPOBTS OF EDUCATION BOAKDS.

[Note. —Minute details relating to school districts are in some cases omitted. Tables are not all reprinted, the substance of most of them being embodied in the tables in or attached to the report of the Minister.]

AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1890. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1889 : — Boabd.—The Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. James William Carr, Theophilus Cooper, David Goldie, M.H.E., James Marshall Lennox, Samuel Luke, "William Pollock Moat, M.H.R., Richard Monk, M.H.R, Richard Udy, and John Henry Upton (Chairman). Messrs. Cooper, Moat, and Udy, who retire this month, have been re-elected without a contest. Fortyfive meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. A committee of the Board was appointed to collect and forward educational exhibits for the Dunedin Exhibition. Public Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 255, including forty-eight half-time schools. The number of school districts was 213. New schools were opened at Pakia (Hokianga Heads), Harington Street, Tauranga, Hukerenui South, Waimamaku Valley, Fairburn's Road (Mangonui), Fern Flat (Mangonui), Brown's Bay (Lucas Creek), Bridgewater (Mercer), and Karamu (Waipa). The following schools were closed owing to diminished attendance : Maketu (East Coast), Waipu Cave, Waitoa Valley, Long Bay, Mangawai, Te Arai, and Taupo. In each case the average attendance fell below ten. Tbachees. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 636, classified as follows: — Male. Female. Total. In charge of schools ... ... ... 176 ... 52 ... 228 Assistants ... ... ... ... 37 ... 171 ... 208 Pupil-teachers and junior assistants ... 26 ... 112 ... 138 Sewing teachers ... ... ... ... ... 61 ... 61 Visiting teacher ... ... ... 1 ... ... ... 1 Total at 31st December, 1889 ... 240 ... 396 ... 636 The term "junior assistant" is applied to young teachers who, having passed either the university matriculation examination or Class D, are taken into the service at the ordinary pay"of a pupil-teacher, but are not required to undergo the pupil-teacher's course of examination. All certificated teachers not in charge of schools are ranked as assistants. Many of them occupy positions in the schools which should properly be filled by pupil-teachers. The Board has given careful attention to the problem of reducing the surplusage of assistant teachers. Several have been transferred to the charge of country schools, but a large surplus still remains, which can only be gradually reduced in process of time. As regards classification, it is satisfactory to report that there are now only five teachers (above the rank of pupil-teacher) who have obtained no classification whatever. These five are in charge of small "aided" schools, for which a duly certificated teacher cannot be supplied. There are, however, several teachers, classified partial E, who have failed to complete the examination for their certificate, and there are also one or two teachers of long standing, the holders of " provisional" certificates, who have neglected to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded them year after year to pass the necessary examination for the completion of their certificates. The Board has been obliged to deal with these cases according to law. During the year 1888 fifty-five teachers entered and one hundred and nine left the Board's service. During last year (1889) ninety-one teachers left the service, and ninety-six new teachers were employed. Notwithstanding the disadvantage occasioned by so large a number of changes in the personality of the teaching staff, it is impossible to avoid other additional changes through the removal of teachers for promotion or otherwise. Every care is taken to prevent unnecessary changes and to disturb as little as possible the working of the schools. In making appointment's the Board generally selects the names of five or six suitable candidates, after taking into account their classification, date of certificate, length of service, and teaching ability. These names are submitted to the Committee of the district for their consideration and selection. By this means a due regard is accorded to the wishes of the Committee and to the claims of teachers for promotion. As an encouragement to teachers to qualify for a higher certificate than Class E, the Board has adopted the plan of limiting the selection for the more valuable appointments to those holding the rank of D or a higher rank. Pupil-teachers.—The following table shows the result of the annual examination of pupilteachers and of candidates for employment held m June, 1889 ;- —

All the candidates who qualified have received employment. There is no demand for more pupil-teachers just now. At the present time (March, 1890) there is a sufficient supply to meet probable requirements for the remainder of the year. The arrangement made for the instruction of pupil-teachers by the head teachers has been attended with satisfactory results. Attendances. —The attendance of scholars during the December quarters of 1888 and 1889 is thus compared : —

This increase is very much smaller than that in any previous year. The number of scholars above school age was 443, and 186 scholars had passed the Sixth Standard. In September last the Board addressed a circular to School Committees, reminding them of the many disadvantages resulting from irregular attendance, and of the provisions which the Act affords as a remedy. It is believed that Committees may exercise a wise influence by impressing upon parents the duty of securing for their children the fullest advantage from the system of education which the State provides, and also by upholding the teacher in his efforts to obtain the regular attendance of the pupils committed to his instruction. The Board is glad to report that, as an immediate result of this appeal, the average attendance was raised from 79 to 82 per cent, of the roll number. Inspection.—For some time pass the work of inspection and examination has been growing beyond the powers of three Inspectors to overtake. It has been impossible to visit each school twice every year, as required by the regulations. The staff was instructed to combine the inspection and examination of all schools under twenty-five average attendance; but even with this modification the work fell into arrear. After due consideration the Board decided to appoint a fourth Inspector ; and the district is now divided into four divisions, each division being for one year under the separate charge of an Inspector. Mr. Fidler having resigned his inspectorship, on account of continued ill-health, Mr. James C. Dickinson was appointed to succeed him, and Mr. Richard Crowe was selected for the position of fourth Inspector. Subjects of Insteuction.—The drawing master has continued to visit the country schools, and to hold classes at convenient centres for the instruction of teachers in the drawing prescribed for the standards. As an encouragement to the teaching of agricultural science, Professor Thomas, of the Auckland University College, has made a liberal offer of prizes, which will be competed for in March, 1891, by pupils of the upper standards. A syllabus of work has been prepared and issued to Committees and teachers, which may be adopted as a three years' course in science. Scholabships.—The regulations have been amended, with the approval of the Minister, so as to distribute the junior district scholarships more equitably in proportion to the advantages enjoyed by town and country schools respectively. After consultation with the Governors of the Lincoln School of Agriculture (Canterbury), a regulation was framed to enable the holders of senior district scholarships to receive their education at that institution. The Governors consented to admit them on favourable terms ; but, inasmuch as the school is not under inspection by a public school Inspector, and as the Governors could not see their way to place it under such inspection (so as to fulfil the requirements of section 51 of the Education Act), the project had to be abandoned. Buildings.—Although there has been no growth of population, and little or no increase in the number of scholars, yet settlement in the country districts has advanced much more rapidly than usual, and the Board has found it necessary to build and maintain schools in places where there is only a small population, in order that the settlement of the country may not be impeded by reason of any want of school accommodation. Each settlement requires a school of its own ; and the cost of building in remote and scattered places is very much greater than the cost of providing accommodation for the same number of scholars in a large centre of population. Moreover, as the settlements are for the most part peopled from the towns, where fairly adequate accommodation already exists, the Board is put to the expense of building a number of schools for children for whom, if they remained in town, no such outlay would be required. The Board is again obliged to report that the building requirements of the district are greater than can be overtaken by the grant voted for" the purpose. The grant of £4,568 lls., which was received since the end of the year, is now nearly all expended, and a further sum of £3,500 is needed in order to meet immediate requirements. The Board has' given special attention to the duty of preserving and improving the school

buildings and grounds. Since September, 1888, one hundred schools and seventy teachers' dwellings have been repainted, half the cost being contributed from the school fund of the district, and the other half being defrayed from the Board's ordinary maintenance fund. The total cost of painting amounted to £1,652 18s. 10d., of which sum £822 12s. 9d. is contributed by Committees from their school fund. A circular, similar to that issued by the Otago Education Board in 1888, has been sent to teachers, urging them to do all in their power to preserve the school property and to make it an ornament to the district. The Inspectors are instructed to report very fully upon the condition of the school buildings and premises, and upon the evidence of care bestowed by the teachers towards their maintenance in good order and repair. The Committees have been invited to encourage and assist the teachers in this matter. Finance.—The yearly statement of receipts and expenditure is appended to this report. The receipts from all sources amounted to £79,834 2s. 4d., and the expenditure to £70,267 19s. Bd. At the end of the year there was a net balance of £2,903 16s. 3d. on Maintenance Account, and a balance of £1,180 3s. on Building Account. The capitation grant of £3 15s. was distributed (approximately) as follows : — £ s. d. On teachers'salaries ... ... ... ... ... 3 5 6 per head. On grants to Committees (including painting and repair of school-buildings) ... ... ... ... ... 0 6 1 „ On inspection and examination ... ... ... 0 1 8 „ On office management ... ... ... ... 0 1 9 „ Total ... ... ... ... ... 315 0 The accounts of the School Committees are now being audited. Owing to the resignation of the Auditor appointed in December last, and to the illness of the Auditor appointed to succeed him, the completion of this work has been unavoidably delayed. Committees.—The Board desires to record its appreciation of the work done by the School Committees throughout the district in assisting to carry out the necessary regulations for the conduct of school matters, and in helping to maintain the school property in a creditable state of repair. The contributions towards cost of painting, which in many instances caused a severe drain upon their resources, have, as a rule, been promptly paid. Whenever desired, the Board has arranged for the payment to be extended over a period of two or three years. Almost without exception, there has been manifested a desire to co-operate in giving effect to the policy initiated by the Board in this and other matters. The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. H.

TAEANAKI. Sik, — i Taranaki Education Board, New Plymouth, February, 1890. I have the honour to transmit the report of the Education Board of the District of Taranaki for the year.ending the 31st December, 1889. The Boaed.—At the annual election in March, Mrs. E. Eichmond, Miss J. Heywood, and Mr. J. Andrews were re-elected to rill the vacancies caused by their retirement in accordance with

E.—l

56

the provisions of the Education Act. Mr. T. Kelly was re-elected Chairman of the Board. The Board then consisted of the following members : Mr. T. Kelly (Chairman), Mrs. Richmond, Miss Hey wood, Mr. G. A. Adlam, Mr. J. Andrews, Mr. E. G. Bauchope, Mr. H. Faull, Mr. E. Olson, and Mr. W. N. Syme. The Board held twenty-four meetings during the year. The following are the attendances of each member: Mr. Kelly, 24; Mrs. Richmond, 24; Miss Heywood, 24; Mr. Andrews, 24 ; Mr. Adlam, 24 ; Mr. Bauchope, 24; Mr. Faull, 24 ; Mr. Olson, 22 ; and Mr. Syme, 23. Schools.—The number of schools in operation at the beginning of the year was thirty-seven, and two new schools have been opened during the year, making a total of thirty-nine. Tbachbes.—There were sixty-nine teachers and thirty-one sewing teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of the year, classified as follows : — Males. Females. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... 27 ... 12 ... 39 Assistant teachers ... ... ... 2 ... 10 ... 12 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... 5 .., 13 ... 18 Sewing teachers... ... ... ... 0 ... 21 ... 21 With respect to the standard of the teaching, the tendency is in the direction of steady progress. The average capacity of the teachers is greater than in the past, and the increased capacity in the staff has resulted in the bulk of the children acquiring a better knowledge of the subjects taught. When it is understood that the average school age is low in this district, and that a large proportion of the children on the school roll, and those'the more advanced, pass out of the schools each year and are replaced by young ignorant children, it is manifest that a high standard of work is not easily obtained, and must necessarily be a question of time. In the face, however, of these difficulties and the low average attendance caused by bad roads and long distances to travel, the work of the year has been as good as under the circumstances could be reasonably expected. Attendance.—The attendance roll shows an increase of 150 for the year, as against twenty for the previous year, the roll number being 2,565 on the 31st December, as against 2,415 for the previous year. During the year ending 1888 the average attendance, based on the school roll, was 76 per cent., being a considerable increase on the previous year. The result was no doubt due to the stimulus given by basing the payments on the strict average, instead of on the working average as formerly. This year the percentage has fallen to 74, indicating a relaxation of effort on the part of School Committees and teachers in urging on parents the necessity of the regular attendance of their children at school. Sewing.—The Board, so far as funds will admit, provide for the teaching of sewing in the schools. The progress is not so satisfactory as the Board desire. The time given to teaching is probably too short, especially when there is no home training to assist the teacher's efforts in this essential branch of female education. Difficulty is also experienced in consequence of the indifference shown by some parents in failing to provide material for sewing, thus negativing to some extent the efforts of the Board and the teacher. It is probable that the Board will have to provide suitable material of a uniform standard quality, and endeavour to recover the cost from the parents. If some such scheme could be put in practical operation, it would tend to improve the standard of sewing and lighten the labour of the Ladies' Sewing Committee during the annual examination. In schools where the knowledge of geometrical drawing is sufficiently advanced, the teaching of cuttingout might with advantage be taught to the girls, as suggested in the Inspector's report. The Ladies' Sewing Committee continue lo give valuable service to the Board by supervising the sewing in the schools, making the annual examination of the work of the children, and awarding standard marks according to merit. The report of the committee is attached to this report. Scholarships.—The Board has revised its scholarship regulations, which have recently received the sanction of the Minister. Consequently no action was possible under the new system during the past year. Formerly only candidates under thirteen years could compete, and the .examination was made on a Fourth Standard basis. The results were not satisfactory. In considering the new regulations, the Board was advised that it could not restrict the age, as the Education Act permitted all children of school age to compete. No doubt a higher standard of papers will be the result of the new regulations ; but it is an inconvenience that the Act does not permit the Board to fix an age limit for junior examinations. Supplementary scholarships were offered by the Board during the year under the old regulations, but only one candidate made the required number of pass marks. Six scholarships are now advertised for competition under the new regulations, and, as a more liberal allowance is made for travelling to school, it is hoped that country candidates will compete. New Schools.—Two new schools have been built and opened during the year —one in the Township of Tarata, east of the Waitara River, in the Ngatimaru District, where a new settlement has been formed in a beautiful forest district; also a school on the West Coast confiscated Native lands, situated on the Main South Road, near the banks of the Oaonui River, between Cape Egmont District and Opunake Township. School Buildings Required.—Application has been made for special consideration for a school for the Kaimata Road District, where the land has been sufficiently settled with families to warrant the building of a small school. This district is dense forest, but clearings are being rapidly made, and the forest converted into pasture lands. The nearest school is five miles and a third from the proposed site. The roads are merely bush tracks, almost impassable for children in winter except for a shoft distance from the school. The school is urgently required, and it is hoped the Board, with the assistance applied for, will be in a position to build it before winter. The Waiongona School requires enlarging, in order to enable the teacher to do justice to the children, who attend in larger numbers than was anticipated when the school was built. The Okato School also requires enlargement. This is a small school of the old type, and quite unfitted

57

E.—l

at present to fairly accommodate the children attending. It is probable that, owing to the amalgamation of the schools at Waitara, the Board will have to consider at an early date the question of constructing a school at Waihi, to the north of the Waitara Township. Applications have also Been made for aided schools at the Upper Carrmgton Boad, near New Plymouth, and the Cape Boad District, near the Cape Lighthouse : at both places it is stated there are children who never attend school, and are brought up in a state of ignorance of the ordinary elements of education. The difficulty in dealing with such cases is that if small schools are opened they are apt to injure to a certain extent existing schools by taking away soma of the children already receiving education, and thus directly lowering the salaries of the teachers, which are too low already. It is represented to the Board that it is essential to the proper and efficient working of the Central School that the infant branch of that school, now carried on in Courtenay Street, should be removed to the Central establishment, so as to be under the practical control of the headmaster, and to enable him to properly adjust the work of his teaching staff on a proper and efficient basis. To carry this out effectually requires more money than the Board has at its disposal at present; consequently the proposal must be postponed. The Waitara East School has been closed, and the Waitara West School enlarged by adding to it a portion of the Waitara East School. This school will now accommodate 240 children, and meet the requirements of the whole of the Waitara Township and the residents in the immediate vicinity. It is hoped that with a larger attendance and an efficient staff the result will prove a benefit to the district. A large number of the schools are still unprovided with residences for the teachers. In some districts the want of a suitable residence is much felt. The smallness of the building grant to this district prevents the Board from remedying the evil, as the bulk of the money is required to build new and enlarge existing schools, which can only be done by the assistance of the ordinary fund. The Board therefore regrets that it cannot build residences so speedily as the circumstances of some districts require. Drawing and Budimentaby Science. —The subject of drawing is making some progress in the schools, and, as the teaching of it becomes more efficient, no doubt better results will be obtained. As pointed out by the Inspector, there is a great deficiency in the schools of the necessary appliances for teaching, such as proper models, which might be provided by the Government, with advantage to Boards, at cost price. It is obvious that one purchaser of the whole requirements of the schools could purchase much cheaper than several smaller buyers. There is much misapprehension on the part of the general public with respect to the teaching of drawing in the public schools, and there is no doubt, when it is fully realised that the object is to lay the foundation on a sure basis of the rudiments of an art which will in future years enable the child to apply the knowledge gained in school to the practical work of life, where a knowledge of drawing is required, the prejudice against it now will gradually fall away, and it will be looked on as an essential part of a practical education. With respect to elementary science, the Board has made no attempt of a serious character to enforce its teaching. It was considered that the children of the provincial district were generally so backward in the rudiments of primary knowledge that it would be unwise to attempt teaching science. The advance of knowledge in the district, and the greater public attention given to the matter, indicates that the Board will have to consider seriously the question of teaching certain branches of physical science in the schools. The difficulty in the way is the want of efficient knowledge on the part of teachers. It is doubtful whether teaching of science by teachers who have but a slight knowledge of the subject would be of any lasting advantage to the children taught. Still, it is possible that it could be taught with advantage in some schools if the Board could supply the necessary appliances in the way of apparatus. Here the Government could step in with advantage, by supplying such a set of apparatus as the department deemed necessary, at cost price, and providing suitable text-books. The method on which the rudiments of science should be taught is essentially one for departmental initiation. Income and Expenditube.—The abnormal disturbance of the Board's finance by the reduction of the capitation grant and the payment of such grant on the strict average basis has now had time to subside into the normal condition of affairs. The revenue for the year has amounted in the aggregate to £8,371 Is. 2d. —viz., capitation and scholarship grants, £6,848 15s. lOd. ; building grant, £307 17s. ; sundries, £412 ; balance from last year, £802 Bs. 4d. The expenditure was £8,033 15s. 4d. ; leaving a credit balance of £337 ss. 10d., chargeable with liabilities on account of building contracts of £499 12s. With an increased attendance at the schools, it is estimated that the revenue for the year 1890 will be increased in a greater ratio than the liabilities, and thus enable the Board to adjust inequalities in salaries where such action may be deemed necessary. School Committees. —The School Committees generally continue to take.an active interest in the management and well-being of the schools under their local charge. In some instances a more active assistance in the improvement of the school grounds is desirable, in order that their appearance may assume a more attractive aspect. In some districts the grounds have been planted with trees, in others this has been sadly neglected; and it is hoped that in the future the beautifying of the school grounds generally will receive the attention of Committees. The Hon. the Minister of Education. Thomas Kelly, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Education Office, Wanganui, 17th February, 1890. In compliance with the provisions of the Education Act, I have the honour to present the usual annual report of the proceedings of this Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1889. Board.—At the commencement of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Mr. Gilbert Carson (Chairman), Mr. H. Sanson, Mr. James W. Baker, Mr. George S. Bridge, Sev. John Boss, Mr. John Notman, Mr. James H. Fry, Mr. E. E. Beckett, and Mr. J. C. Yorke. Messrs. Boss, Carson, and Fry retired by rotation and were all re-elected, and Mr. Carson was again chosen Chairman. An extraordinary vacancy occurred in November by the resignation of Mr. J. C. Yorke, and steps were at once taken to fill the vacancy (since rilled by the election of Mr. G. A. Hurley). The Board lias held its regular meetings on the last Monday and Tuesday in each month. Several committees composed of its members have also assisted the Board during the year by visiting various parts of the district, and inquiring minutely into the requirements thereof, especially with regard to building operations. An important service was also rendered by a committee of the Board in the readjustment of the boundaries of the several school districts, which had more or less been disarranged owing to the formation from time to time of new districts; and these alterations have been " publicly rectified "in accordance with the Act. The Executive Committee of the Board, composed of the Chairman and Messrs. Baker and Notman, have also met once or twice a month, as circumstances required, and have attended to urgent details during the interim of the Board meetings. Buildings and Genebal Works.—The Board has used every effort to meet the requirements of the district with the amount at its disposal. Repairs and improvements of one kind, and another have been effected at Brunswick, Waverley, Stoney Creek, Patea, Kohi, Ngaire, Taonui, Feilding, Aramoho, Marton, Turakiua Valley, Karere, Crofton, Bunnythorpe, Birmingham, Momohaki, Hawera, Terrace End, Mosston, Kaupokonui, Otakeho, Goat Valley, Mount View, and Pihama. Several country schools were erected without being lined, in consequence of the funds falling short. It was found, however, that the cold in winter and the heat in summer rendered them most uncomfortable, and the following schools have therefore been completely lined : Birmingham, Kairanga, Fitzherbert East, Terrace End, Momohaki, and Kakaramea. It should be mentioned that the Palmerston North School Committee contributed £50 towards shelter sheds at Terrace End, and some other Committees proportionate amounts. Additions have been made to Campbelltown, Marton, Maxwelltown, Karere, and Kakaramea Schools. New schools have been erected at Pohangina, Linton, and Momohaki, and these are now in operation. New residences have been erected at Okaiawa, Mangaone, Kapuni, Pohangina, Momohaki, and Eltham. School sites have been acquired at PalinerstonrsNorth and Mangaone. A new school is urgently required at Palmerston North. It is found that the present building is far too small and inconvenient for this growing town, that there is little or no playground attached to it, and that it is in dangerous proximity to the railway line. The Board has already received the sanction of the Minister of Education to dispose of this property, and will act upon it when a suitable offer is made. Additions and improve-

B.—l,

ments are required to the schools at Upper Tutaenui, Te Roti, Havvera, Feilding, Stoney Creek, Manaia, and Ngaire. The Board is paying house rent to nineteen teachers who have not residences, thus entailing a heavy drain upon the General Account. New schools will be required at Bird Eoad, BatUnui, Eata, Ashurst and Watershed Road, Kaponga, Mangamahu, Mangahoe, Wanganui Harbour Board Block, Pemberton Small-farm Settlement, Foxton Small-farm settlement, Sandon Small-fawn Settlement, and Feilding Small-farm Settlement, with a residence for each. The Board ■ regrets that it has not yet been able to procure a school site at Bird Road, where a school is urgently required. Schools and Attendances.—There are now eighty-three schools open in this district, as follows: Eleven classed as aided schools, with an attendance of under twenty ; ten with an attendance of twenty and under twenty-five ; thirty-three with an attendance of twenty-five and under fifty; six with an attendance of fifty and under seventy-five; five with an attendance of seventy-five and under a hundred ; eight with an attendance of a hundred and under a hundred and fifty ; nine with an attendance of a hundred and fifty and under three hundred ; and one with an attendance of three, hundred and under five hundred. The Moutoa and Whakamara Schools were closed. The Cheltenham and Kimbolton Road half-time schools have now been placed under separate teachers. Cheltenham has been made a full-time school, and Kimbolton Road an aided school. The average roll number for the year was 7,315, and the average attendance 5,435-5, being at the rate of 74-16 per cent, of average attendance on the roll number. The last quarter's roll number was 7,345, and the average attendance 5,510, being at the rate of 75 per cent, of average attendance on the roll number. The average attendance at some of the schools is most unsatisfactory, and the Board has directed the School Committees' attention, in such cases, to the fact, with a request that they will make an effort to remedy the evil. As far as is known, none of the School Committees have as yet put the compulsory clauses into force, owing principally to the very unworkable nature of the Education Act in this respect. Teacheks.—There are now 163 teachers in the Board's employ, classed as follows : Thirtj' head male teachers, three head female teachers, thirty-nine male teachers in sole charge of schools, eleven female teachers in sole charge of schools, nine assistant male teachers, eighteen assistant female teachers, twelve male pupil-teachers, and forty-one female pupil-teachers. During the year the Board found it necessary to appoint a relieving teacher, owing to constant changes in the staff. Besides the above there are nine cadets employed without salary, who are not counted on the teaching staff. The Board has decided that the minimum salary at an aided school must be £50 a year for a female teacher and £75 for a male teacher, the difference between the foregoing and the actual statutory capitation grant received from Government being made up by the settlers in the district of such school. Printing and Requisites.—The Board has accepted fresh tenders for printing and school requisites, the former for two years and the latter for four years, upon advantageous terms. Art Classes.—During the year Mr. David Blair established art classes for teachers at Wanganui, Palmerston North, and Hawera ; and, with a view of encouraging the attendance of teachers, the Board issued a circular reminding them that drawing is now a compulsory subject, and offering a bonus of £1 to each teacher who succeeded in obtaining Mr. Blair's certificate. The success of the classes was very marked, as the majority of the teachers took advantage of them, and no less than sixty-five obtained certificates —viz., twenty in one subject, sixteen in two subjects, sixteen in three subjects, and thirteen in four subjects. Eighty-three attended the classes, but eighteen did not sit for certificates. Scholaeships.—The annual competition for scholarships was held in July last at Wanganui. Four senior and four junior scholarships were awarded. In future simultaneous examinations will be held at Wanganui, Palmerston, and Hawera, under proper supervisors. The Board has approved of St. Patrick's College, Wellington, as a school at which scholarships may be held, the Principal of this institution having offered to submit to visits of inspection. The competition was open to all schools, but the scholarships were all taken by the Board's school pupils. Change of School Names. —The name of the Kaupokonui School has been changed to Matapu, and under that heading it will in future be found in the returns. Finance.—The balance-sheet shows that the Building Account is overdrawn £2,522 2s. 4d., and has liabilities amounting to £1,451 17s. 3d. The assets consist of the amount due from Government (since received) of £1,218 18s. 9d.; leaving a net liability over assets of £2,755 os. lOd. The General Account shows a credit of £5,574 11s. 10d., with liabilities amounting to £1,740 15s. 3d. Of that sum £1,362 os. lOd. belongs to the Rees Bequest Account, £228 14s. sd. was due to School Committees (since paid), and £150 to teachers for instruction of pupil-teachers, leaving a net "General Account " balance of £3,833 16s. 7d., as against an overdrawn Building Account and liabilities as above. In the Rees Bequest Account the interest received on mortgages amounted to £188 12s. lOd. A mortgage of £500 was discharged, £100 was received from the Building Fund in part payment of the loan advanced to that account, and there is £403 12s. lOd. to the credit of Current Account. The Investment Account shows a sum of £1,900 still on mortgage, £958 Bs. on fixed deposit, and £300 still due from the Building Account. The capital sum, therefore, to the credit of this account amounts to £3,562 os. lOd. For any further information respecting the state of education in this district the Board has the honour to refer you to the Inspector's report. The Hon. the Minister of Education. Gilbert Carson, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Board, Wellington, 17th March, 1890. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, I have the honour to transmit the annual report of the Wellington Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1889. Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of Mr. J. E. Blair (Chairman), Mr. A. W. Brown, Mr. H. Bunny, Mr.'W. C. Buchanan, M.H.E., Dr. Newman, M.H.R., Mr. G. Beetham, M.H.R., Mr. F, H. Eraser, Mr. J. Young, and the Rev. James Paterson. The three members to retire by rotation were Mr. J. R. Blair, Mr. G. Beetham, and Dr. Newman. As these members alone were nominated by the School Committees to fill the vacancies, they were declared duly re-elected. Mr. Blair was unanimously re-elected Chairman. On account of urgent private business compelling him to remain in England the Board unanimously granted Mr. Beetham leave of absence. Mr. Beetham has been one of the members of the Board since its existence, and has always taken the keenest interest in educational matters, well meriting the consideration shown him during his absence from the colony. The Board has held twelve ordinary meetings during the year, and the Finance Committee and School of Design Committee have held regular monthly meetings. Schools.—At the close of the year there were seventy-four schools in active operation, new schools having been opened at Shannon, Mangatainoko, and Clyde Quay, while the aided schools at Alfreclton and Taipos were closed during the latter part of the year. The aided school at Waikanae was not reopened, the children being conveyed by rail to the nearest school (Paikakariki). Attendance.—The number of children attending the Board schools at the close of the year was 10,419. Of these, 1,952 were between five and seven years of age, 3,847 betw Teen seven and ten, 3,392 between ten and thirteen, 1,067 between thirteen and fifteen, and 161 over fifteen. Teachers. —There were 254 teachers and eleven sewing teachers, the classification of teachers being—Head of school, 45; sole teachers, 30; assistants, 60; pupil-teachers and ex-pupil-teachers, 119.' Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held immediately after the breaking-up for the Christinas vacation, and was conducted simultaneously at Masterton and Wellington. Seventy pupil-teachers were examined. Several of the first year, whose names are included in the following classification, were not required to sit for examination, as they had only been a few months in the service. The results were as follows : End of first year —passed 19, failed 7, total 26 ; end of second year —passed 12, failed 1, total 13; end of third year —passed 7, failed 7, total 14 ; end of fourth year —passed 12, failed 5, total 17. The pupil-teacher class list for 1890 shows—Eirst year, 11; second year, 15 ; third year, 20; fourth year, 12 ; fifth year, 10. Scholarships.—At the annual examination for Board's scholarships 128 candidates presented themselves—eighty-nine from the city, eighteen from the country districts, and twenty-one from the Wairarapa district. The examination, as in previous years, was conducted simultaneously in the Wairarapa and in the cits. The whole of the arrangements for this year were left in the hands of Mr. T. R. Fleming, M.A., LL.B. The winners were : City—lvie Sloan Gibson, Agnes Campbell, Maud Beavis, Annie Page, and Lucy Hayesj country districts —James Prendeville and Henry Kirk; Wairarapa—Fred. R. Wakelin and George Toogood. In accordance with the request of the Terrace School Committee, who provided special funds for the purpose, additional or extra scholar-

ships were awarded to Maurice Gaudy, Alice Cornish, and Charles M. Benzoni, those three having obtained the next highest number of marks. Buildings. —The prominent items of expenditure on account of school buildings are as follows : Mangatainoko, new school and master's residence, £500 19s. lid.; Hastwell, new school (grant in aid), £56 17s. 6d.; Clareville, repairs, £147 10s. 6d. (the flooring and roofing needed this expenditure); Dalefield^ new residence, £132 7s. Bd.; Park Vale, additional class-room, £207 17s. 4d.; Greytowu, repairs and additions to school and residence, £607 os. 3d. (the old buildings were quite unfit for use, and have been to a large extent rebuilt; considerable additional accommodation was absolutely necessary, these being the oldest buildings in the Wairarapa); Waihenga, additional class-room, £216 7s. lid. ; Feathorston, repairs, £70 2s. 2d.; Mungaroa, additions, £54 75.; Upper Hutt, additions, £57 125.; Taita, remodelling of residence and repairs to school, necessary on account of the removal of part of the building which had for many years had to do duty as part of the residence, £126 10s.; Shannon, grant in aid of new school, £65 7s. 3d. ; Levin, grant in aid of new school, £49 18s.; Manakau, completion of old schoolroom, and additional class-room, £240 14s. lOd.; Paraparamu, site for school, £91 6s. 9d.; Pahautanui, removal of old buildings and erection of new class-room, £200 35.; Ohariu, re-roofing and repairs, £50 18s. 6(1. ; Johnsonville, new class-room, £266 6.8. ;Te Aro, repairs and painting, £126 6s. ; Mount Cook Girls', do., £140 ss. 6d.; Mount Cook Boys', do., £77 16s. 2d,; Mount Cook Infants', do., £69 125.; Clyde Quay, balance of contract for erection of school building, £295 7s. 7d.; Yogeltown, additional class-room, £224 Bs. 6d.; Newtown, balance of contract for infant school and division of large front room, £195 16s. lOd. ; Kilbirnie, additional class-room, £198 2s. lOd. The exceedingly small sum allocated to this Board for school buildings will not admit of any provision being made towards the erection of a suitable building on the Ghuznee Street site. The present building was erected in 1848, and is absolutely unlit for the purpose of a school: it is probably the worst building in the whole colony in which the public-school work is carried on. This Board labours under the greatest difficulties with regard to the education of the children within the city, no less than £341 ss. being annually expended in rents, and contingent liabilities for the purchase of the lands on which two of the principal schools are erected, amounting to £4,500. In no other district in the colony has an Education Board to take from the teachers' salaries to meet expenditure for rents of schoolrooms, while here the annual drain for that service amounts to over £400. The claims of new localities in the shape of special settlements in the Forty-mile Bush and along the Manawatu Eailway line have to be dealt with in the most niggardly manner—one by one and year by year —even though the Board is thoroughly satisfied that the erection of suitable buildings in the centres of well-defined settlement is both economical and advisable. Yet with the modest amount available the Board is quite powerless to adequately face the question. There can be no reasonable doubt that the erection of suitable schools in new settlements is the means of assisting to an immense extent the general growth and stability of such settlements. What settler will now be found prepared to set to work in earnest in a new part of the country, when by the removal of his family and the immediate erection of his new home he deprives his children of their education, at least so far as regards the higher standards, or postpones it to a time when their services can ill be spared, and their minds are less able to absorb the instruction given ? The Board hopes that, when the next distribution of building grant takes place, due regard will be had to the bond fide wants of each district, and a desire shown to place each district on an even footing. It is submitted that, as things now exist, the allocation of this grant on the basis of population is not an equitable one. Finance. —By the strictest economy in all departments, the maintenance overdraft has now been removed. The year's work has quite borne out the anticipations formed when the new regulations as to teaching power and payments of salaries were adopted, and all salaries reduced. Inspection.—The time has now come when assistance must be provided under this heading. Mr. Leo can no longer undertake the examination of the whole of the children now presented, and have any time available for inspection. During the past year 10,460 children, in seventy-two schools, were examined. The annual report of the Inspector, attached hereto [see paper E.-Ib] , contains the fullest information. School of Design.—The attached report of Mr. Eiley shows clearly the growing interest taken in drawing in its several branches. The results of the competition at South Kensington are extremely gratifying, as shown by the number of passes made and prizes obtained, and the high standard of excellence shown in the whole of the work submitted. The Board has every hope that at a comparatively early date the great drawbacks under which this institution has suffered will be removed, and new commodious premises, of a suitable description, provided. If the Parliament will grant the requisite authority, it is believed that an exchange of sites can be effected, and the new offices for the Board and premises for the School of Design erected on a portion of the reserve set aside for public buildings in Victoria Street. Should the Bill to be introduced early in the coming session fail to pass, the Board will at once proceed with the erection of the building in accordance with the plans prepared by its architect, Mr. Turnbull, on the sections in Ballanoe Street already vested in the Board. I have, &0., «T. .R. Blair, Chairman.

Eepoet on the School of Design. Gentlemen, — 25th February, 1890. I have the honour to submit my annual report upon the School of Design, its branches, and drawing in the primary schools of this education district. Primary School Insteuction. —Considerable~progress has been made during the year in this important subject. lam glad to report that the interest has considerably increased, and consequently decided improvement is apparent. In the infant schools and in some of the lower standards modelling in clay has been introduced, and will prove invaluable in future training. I attach great

E.—l

62

value to modelling, knowing full well how the mind is impressed with the form of any object actually made. The mind, the eye, and the hand are in this case compelled to act in unison. The Fourth Standard has this year, in accordance with the syllabus, taken up geometrical drawing with excellent results, as will be seen by the examination returns. One of the greatest difficulties has been the want of necessary (good but cheap) material, and small models for the purpose of practical application. lam endeavouring to meet this requirement, and hope to successfully terminate my arrangements by the end of March. I regret that, owing to difficulty in arranging for suitable appliances, the proposed new syllabus has not been issued. A temporary one was, however, prepared and circulated. I wish the new one to be complete in all respects, and therefore await the satisfactory arrangements re apparatus before issuing the same. A number of scholars holding the full first-grade certificate have received instruction in the School of Design on Wednesday afternoon, with good results, as will be seen by the work produced. I am anxious to see more advantage taken of this class by scholars holding the full first-grade certificate, and should be glad if the headmasters of schools would permit such scholars to attend. Instruction of Teachers and Pupil-teachers.—The School of Design has beea open daily throughout the year to all teachers in the Board's service, and considerable advantage has been taken of the opportunities afforded. Special classes and class lectures were held on Wednesday afternoon and upon Saturday morning, with large attendances. A special teachers' class was held on Friday afternoon, and opened with a good attendance; but the subsequent attendances, with about eight exceptions, became very irregular, and very little good resulted from this endeavour to assist them in obtaining the necessary instruction. The interest shown by those assistants who did attend, and by the larger proportion of pupil-teachers, is worthy of notice, many very excellent papers being worked at the annual examination. During the early part of the year a course 'of lectures was given at the St. John's Schoolroom upon the teaching of drawing in primary schools. These lectures were largely attended. Later in the year a second course was given, dealing more minutely with the standard teaching, the special teachers of the various standards attending. The majority of schools have been visited as in former years. The arrangement of continuing classes during the midwinter vacation proved of value to country teachers desirous of obtaining information with regard to drawing. The position of teachers in the Board's service with respect to drawing certificates may be ascertained from the following table :—

Number op Students on the 801 l number of students has during the year averaged in the Central School 237 per term, subdivided as follows : General students, 100; teachers, 45 ; pupil-teachers, 85 ; scholars, 7. The attendances during the year number over 10,000, giving some idea of the use of the school. The numbers on the rolls of branch classes are :At Newtown an average of 22, and in the Wairarapa an average of 21, —giving a total of 280 students. Examinations. —The examinations are now classed as follows: First grade, elementary primary schools; second grade, intermediate; third grade, local; third grade, South Kensington. The total number of certificates obtained since the establishment of the school (four years ago) is 4,126, subdivided as follows: First grade, 2,810; second grade, 1,077; third grade, local, 203; third grade, Kensington, 36. First Grade. —The examination took place in September, this month being found most suitable. The number of papers examined was 1,885, as follows : Freehand, 747 —passed 403, failed 344; model, 218 —passed 91, failed 127; scale, 211 —passed 147, failed. 164; geometrical, 609—passed 477, failed 132: total, 1,885 —passed 1,118, failed 767. Number of papers "excellent," 144; "good," 189. Number of individual candidates, 1,515; passes, 896; holding full certificates, 52. The increase upon 1888 is as follows : Papers worked, 626 ; passes obtained, 518 ; individual passes, 326; individual candidates, 391 ; in schools presenting candidates, 15. The Second-grade Examinations were held in December only, as against June and December last year. The number of papers examined was 399, as follows : Blackboard, copy, 30—passed 21, failed 9; blackboard, memory, 36 —passed 13, failed 23; freehand, 106—passed 89, failed 17; model, 68—passed 40, failed 28 ; geometrical, 93—passed 52, failed 41; perspective, 66—passed 39, failed 27 : total, 399 —passed 254, failed 145. Number of individual candidates examined, 218 ; successful, 164. Number of passes " excellent," 28 ; "good," 25. Increase upon last examination —papers, 106 ; candidates, 49. Number of persons holding full certificate, 45. The total number of local papers examined during the year was 2,386, being an increase of 632 papers. The Third-grade Local Examinations were held in December, at which 102 papers were taken, thirty-six passes were obtained, and the number of candidates was forty-three. Third-grade Examinations — Science and Art Department. —The results of this year's examinations are satisfactory. The students find themselves placed upon a level with the schools-of Great Britain, .and therefore know that any honours or passes obtained are of recognised merit. Considering that the number of works sent to the department for examination was 60,855, and of that number only 1,851 in advanced stages were selected for national competition, the school maybe congratulated upon the fact that out of eleven students submitting works seven were awarded certificates and prizes, The prizes awarded were, a bronze medal for monochrome painting.

National Book Prize for painting from still life, and three third-grade prizes for painting foliage. The certificates and passes were twenty in number—in third-grade art, for painting still life, plant form, monochrome from the cast, landscape from nature, shading in chalk from the cast and from objects, orrtlme from the cast, and geometrical drawing. In second-grade art four certificates were obtained, these being the only papers in this grade sent up. Miss Mary E. Eichardson is to be congratulated upon obtaining the first art class teacher's certificate from the Department of Science and Art obtained solely in the Australasian Colonies. Mrs. Bronsden and the late Mrs. Holmes also obtained their final passes for the art class teachers' certificate, the former being a student of the Newtown branch, and the latter a student of the Central School. The earlier passes in both cases were obtained in England. Local Peizes.—l have during the year awarded prizes to the value of £10, the recipients being as follows : Misses Richardson, Hill, Moorhouse ; Messrs. Ballingall and Strange-Muir. Mr: A. de B. Brandon has very kindly presented a bronze medal to the engineering section, and the prize was awarded to Mr. Eochefort for the best design of a model engine. Exhibitions. —About sixty sheets of drawings, paintings, &c, were exhibited at the Wellington Art and the Dunedin Exhibitions. The works consisted of a complete illustration of the course of study pursued under the Board, from the simplest primary work to the higher branches of painting and design taught in the School of Design. Beanch Class. —The classes at Masterton, Featherstou, and Newtown are still in operation. The assistance given by your Committee will enable the instructor to remain in the Wairarapa district, and so be a valuable aid to those teachers who are able to attend the classes. Appabatus and Libeaby.—Considerable additions have been made to the appliances of the institution, and have enabled the work to proceed more smoothly. The works of the students obtaining prizes and certificates are utilised as examples of work, and arc of considerable value in that direction. A few necessary works have been added to the technical library, which is in constant use, and especially serviceable to the mechanical and architectural sections of the school. My endeavour to obtain subscribers to suitable periodicals for the use of students has proved a failure. Speead of Woek.—Your committee may be congratulated upon the considerable spread of work, and this I consider may be taken as a proof of its soundness. It has little prettiness to commend its earlier stages, or lure the student, but its assistance to labour power is full compensation to those who are willing to study. The fact that applications have been received for affiliation from schools in Wanganui, Bull's, Marton, Westport, and Greymouth is in itself proof of the advantages gained by your system. The increase of time required for correspondence and general management has been exceptionally heavy, ten and a half hours being my average working day, and often thirteen and fourteen hours per day are required to keep pace with the constantly increasing duties. I find this much too heavy, and feel that, if it continues, assistance should be provided by your committee if the instruction and supervision are to be effectually maintained. Class Aebangements and Working.—The working has been difficult, owing to the very serious want of space. The rooms require to be rearranged daily for the various classes, and the constant removal is showing itself markedly upon the apparatus and models. The continuation of work from February to December without the midwinter vacation has proved beneficial to all classes. The mechanical and architectural classes have improved during the year, owing to the excellent appointments made by your committee in Messrs. Welsby.and Hamilton as instructors. In conclusion I have to thank you for your consideration of all matters relating to the school, and hope that your committee will be enabled in future to relieve me of the necessity of providing a portion of the funds towards the school's support. Whilst pointing out the great increase of work, I would place on record the loyal co-operation of my staff in carrying on this work. I have, &c, The School of Design Committee. Arthur D. Riley, Director for Art.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sik, — Education Office, Napier, 31st January, 1890. >The Board of this education district has the honour to present, in accordance with section 102 of the Education Act, a summary of its proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1889. Mbmbbes. —At the date of the last annual report the members constituting the Board were— Mr. J. D. Ormond, M.H.E. (Chairman), Captain Eussell, M.H.E., Mr. Horace Baker, Mr. J. W. Garble, Mr. Eechab Harding, Mr. E. D. D. McLean, Eev. I). Sidey, Mr. Fred. Sutton, and Mr. G. H. Swan. The retiring members under section 15 of the Act were Mr. J. D. Ormond, Captain Eussell, and Mr. Horace Baker, and they were each re-elected by the Committees in February for a further term of three years. In the month of April Mr. E. D. D. McLean, being about to visit England, resigned his seat on the Board, and Mr. Thomas Tanner, M.H.E., who had previously sat as a member of the Board, was elected in his place. The Board continues to be represented on the governing body of the Napier High Schools by Messrs. Ormond and Carlile. The Board held twelve ordinary meetings during the year for the transaction of business, the average number of members at each meeting being six. Districts. —The number of school districts remains the same as at the date of the last report. Several small subsidised schools have applied to be constituted into school districts, but the Board decided against the application in each case until the school attendance should warrant the establishment of a duly-constituted authority. Two new schools were opened during the year, one at Blackburn and one at Te Aute ; and the school at Tarawera, which was partly Native and partly European, was temporarily closed in consequence of some misunderstanding between the handful of residents in the district. Schools. —There are now forty-seven schools, containing forty-nine departments, in operation under the Board. Classed according to average attendance, there are nine schools containing an average of fewer than twenty-five children, ten with an .average varying from twenty-five to fifty children, thirteen from fifty to one hundred children, seven from one hundred to one hundred and fifty children, six from one hundred and fifty to three hundred children, none from three hundred to five hundred children, two schools contain an average of over five hundred children. The average number of pupils attending at each school during the year was 102 nearly. This is a slight increase compared with last year's average, which was 100-6. Tbachebs. —The number of teachers in the service of the Board on the 31st December was 152. These were classed into sixty-six principal and assistant teachers holding certificates of competency, and eighty-six uncertificated and pupil-teachers. There are still nine schools where uncertificated teachers are in charge—viz., Te Karaka, Waerenga-o-kuri, Makauri, Maraetaha, Wallingford, Porangahaii, Te Aute, To Onga Onga, and Waiuui. The number of pupil-teachers engaged at the close of the year was sixty-four. The annual examination took place on the 10th December and three following days. Of those now employed fourteen are in their first year, seven in their second, fifteen in their third, and nine in the fourth. In the examination four failures were recorded. The regulation permitting pupil-teachers who have completed the full term of their engagement to continue as ex-pupil-teachers for another year, has been further modified with a view to provide temporary employment for those w Tho desire to continue for a still longer period as ex-pupil-teachers. It has been found that some of those who have remained an additional year have been unable to find employment, and, not being allowed to continue at their own school after the fifth year, they have been compelled to cease teaching altogether. The new regulation provides that ex-pupil-teachers, if recommended by their respective Committees, may continue to fill temporarily the place of ordinary pupil-teachers, the payment being the average salary which is given to pupil-teachers during the period of their engagement. Already three ex-pupil-teachers have agreed to continue under the new arrangement, and it is expected that much good will result from the adoption of the regulation. School Attendance. —The number of pupils returned as attending the schools for the December quarter ' was 5,991. The average attendance for the same period was 4,850, which allows 31-5 pupils to each teacher employed by the Board. The average number of pupils to each teacher in the colony for the year 1888 was 32. The average number of pupils enrolled for the year was 5,9875, and the average attendance 4,7925, or an increase of 2 per cent, and 24 per cent, respectively on the returns for the corresponding period of 1888. Very little alteration has taken place in the number of pupils attending the Board schools since March, 1888, when the returns showed 5,902 names as the average weekly roll for the quarter, whilst the average weekly roll for the December quarter of last year was 5,991, or a difference of only 89 in two years. Although the number attending the schools shows but little increase, there is again a marked improvement noticeable in the regularity of the children at school. It was urged by many teachers and Committees that the abolition of the "working average" would prove a hardship "to certain schools ; but the contrary has been the case. In 1887 the returns gave 783 out of each 100 pupils as the average attendance or regularity for that year; in 1888 the average attendance was 797 ; and last year the average had risen to a little over 80. This improvement is the more satisfactory as no attendance officers are employed by the Board, and in only a single instance, as far as the; Board is aware, has any attempt been made to enforce attendance under section 92 of " The Education Act, 1877." Inspection.—The inspection and examination of the schools have been duly carried out by the Board's Inspector according ti> regulation requirements. The number returned on-the examination schedules as attending school was 5,691; and 3,739 were presented in standards, or only six more than were* presented the previous year. The apparent increase in the number of pupils in the preparatory classes as compared with those in 1888—there being 1,844 in 1888, and 1,952 last year— may be accounted for by the fact that much greater thoroughness is demanded for a pass in

65

E.—l

Standard I. than was the case a few years ago. The Inspector speaks hopefully of the work done during the year, and, although there are wide differences in the standard results between the good and poor schools, the average is satisfactory. The number of standard passes for the year shows a marked increase, and, what is of perhaps more importance, the increase is chiefly in the higher standards. The progress made in the class and additional subjects is not so apparent, although in some schools excellent work appears to have been done. Due attention also continues to be paid to the improvement of the schools in tone, manners, and discipline. The table appended to the Inspector's report contains an interesting summary of the results for each school for the past year, under the heads of " Standard Eesults," "Manners," " Discipline," &c. The standard passes for the year will be found in the following table, which contains the examination results for each year since 1878 : —

Although the total presentations in standards for the year were only six in excess of those for 1888, the passes show an increase of 306 compared with those for that year. The increase is general through the standards, but is more marked in Standard 11. and upwards, where the effects of a good Standard I. a c shown by the large proportion of pupils who pass on to a higher standard. In the year 1888 there were 1,132 presentations in Standard 1., whilst last year the presentations fell to 1,009, which shows that the demand for thoroughness in the elementary work is having its full effect upon the teaching in the lower departments. The synchronous examination of the pupils in Standards V. and VI. took place in November. As usual, supervisors were appointed for each school where there were pupils to be examined. On the results of Standard VI. scholarships are awarded, and the competition for them has become exceedingly keen between the different schools. Attention was called last year to the growing efficiency of the country schools, and the remarks then1 made have been more than sustained by the results of the past year. Gisbome and Napier formerly carried off all the prizes offered by the Board, but strong competitors are now found at the Waipawa, Hastings, Port Ahuriri, Woodville, Havelock, Waipukurau, Ormondville, and Te Arai Schools, from each of which successful pupils were sent in for examination in November, and several other schools are promising equally good results. Scholarships. —ln addition to the ordinary scholarships, which are limited to the amount of the capitation allowance received from the Government, the School Commissioners, out of the funds available from secondary reserves, have offered fifteen scholarships for competition to the pupils of the old provincial district, thirteen being non-resident scholarships, and limited to Napier and the surrounding district within a radius of fourteen miles, the other two being resident scholarships, and limited to pupils in the provincial district who are outside of the fifteenmiles radius. These scholarships, when they are in full working, will be tenable for two years ; but, being the first year of issue, seven were granted for two years and six for one year, so that in 1890 and in each succeeding year at least six Commissioners' scholarships will be open for competition, in addition to those ordinarily granted by the Board. On the Inspector's recommendation, it has been decided to discontinue the synchronous examinations, and for the future Standards V. and VI. will be examined at the same time as the other standard pupils. The scholarship examination will be held in December, at the same time as for pupil-teachers, and new regulations will shortly be submitted to the Minister, containing the rules, such as the Board may consider to be necessary. Two scholarships have also been instituted by the Caledonian Society, but they are offered for competition to pupils who have passed Standard IV. The same society offered a gold medal to the pupil who gained the highest marks in the scholarship examination, without limit as to school, and the prize was carried off by Hedley Thomson, of the Gisbome School. Gisbobne District High School.—Under regulations duly approved by the Minister this school was constituted a district high school at the beginning of 1888. That year the pupils numbered thirteen, whilst last year there were twenty-nine attending. The fees amounted to £199 165., which, added to the annual subsidy of £150 given by the Board of Governors of the Gisborne High School, who have no school of their own, provided an income more than sufficient for the maintenance of the school.; In December those pupils who had not entered for the matriculation examination were examined by the Inspector, who was assisted by three other "gentlemen, and the results-were reported as being on the whole very satisfactory. Of the six pupils who entered for the matriculation examination, five passed the requirements — a result which reflects the highest credit upon the soundness of the teaching at this school. It might be further mentioned as one of the rules of the school that no pupil is permitted to take up the " secondary subjects " unless Standard VI. has been passed.

Needlewoek. —The system so long carried out of having the sewing of the girls sent to the Education Office for examination and marking still continues with one slight modification. Special examiners were appointed for Gisborne ; but the same plan of marking was followed, and the results as they "appear in the tabulation appended are estimated for all schools alike. The prizes which had so long been offered for competition by Captain Russell, M.H.R., were withdrawn by him last year, but Mr. Rechab Harding offered similar prizes for competition, and promises to continue the same for the coming year. The report of the examiners will be found among the appendices. In November, when the sewing examination took place, thirty-eight schools were represented, and the number of specimens was 1,441, as compared with 1,370 for 1888, and 1,154 for 1887. According to standards the specimens were classed as follows : Standard 1., 419 ; Standard 11., 334 ; Standard 111., 311; Standard IV., 203; Standard V., 113; Standard VI., 61. At the Gisborne District High School the girls in Standards V. and VI. are taught how to cut out their own dresses and to use the sewing machine, the Committee having purchased, two machines for the benefit of the school. The innovation is an important one, and a similar plan will no doubt be soon adopted by other schools in the district. Science Instruction.—With a view to improving the schools, the Board last year fostered the establishment of drawing classes for teachers in Napier, and, as pointed out by the Inspector, much good resulted therefrom. During the past year science classes have been conducted by Mr. Fergusson, an Owens College honours man in science, the conditions for attendance being the same; but the attendance has not been sufficient to warrant their continuance for another year. This is to be regretted, as no similar opportunities have been offered in the district for instruction in chemistry and elementary physics. Teachers who have not availed themselves of the opportunities held out by the Board will have no cause to complain should a regulation be passed requiring teachers to hold special certificates in science and art in addition to the ordinary certificates now issued by the Government. Building Fund.—This fund stiil continues in the same unsatisfactory position as it has been for the past two years. Consequent on the large increase in the average attendance in 1888 the Board, in anticipation of a larger building grant last year, decided to proceed with a number of additions and new buildings which had become most pressing. The works were completed in the early part of the year, but the smallness of the building grant, amounting to £1,120 165., was altogether insufficient to provide for additions at Woodville, Danevirke, Makatoku, Napier, Port Ahuriri, and new buildings at Blackburn and Te Aute. The consequence is that the Building Fund Account of the Board is largely overdrawn, and this at a time when rooms are being hired at Napier and Gisborne, new buildings required at Matamau and Makauri, and a new school wanted at Nuhaka and additions at Kumeroa, Ashley-Clinton, and Patutahi. Income and Expenditube.—The whole income of the Board for the year, including building grant, subsidy, fees, and endowments from Gisborne District High School, was £20,689 12s. 3d. Of this amount, £19,164 ss. 9d. was School Fund, provided for the ordinary work of carrying on the schools and for inspection, and £1,525 6s. 6d. (£1,120 16s. of this amount, although voted by General Government, has not yet been received) was building grant. The School Fund was augmented by a balance in hand from the previous year of £1,029 9s. lid., and the Building Fund by £334 9s. 7d., making a total of £22,053 11s. 9d. The expenditure shows that the cost of maintenance of the schools, including salaries of officers and teachers, grants to School Committees for cleaning and firing, bonuses to teachers, house allowances, instruction of pupil-teachers, and inspection, amounted to £18,328 2s. Id., leaving available a balance of £1,865 13s. 7d., out of which the sum of £30 18s. 6d. was paid in aid of the Building Fund, leaving a balance in hand to the credit of the School Fund of £1,834 15s. Id. The Building Fund was as follows: Income, General Government grant, &c, with balance from last year, £1,859 16s. Id.; expenditure, on buildings, plans, and appliances, £2,881 4s. lOd. : which leaves a debit balance at the close of the year 1889 of £1,021 Bs. 9d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. D. Okmond, Chairman.

MARLBOBOUGH. Sir,— Education Board Office, Blenheim, 6th May, 1890. liave the honour to forward you the report of the Board of Education for the Marlborough District for the year ending the 31st December, 1889. The .Board. —The Board during the year lost the services of Mr. E. T. Conolly, on his elevation to the office of a Judge of the Supreme Court, and the extraordinary vacancy thus created was filled by the election of Mr. H. C. Seymour. The three retiring members were Messrs. Lambert, Paul, and H. C. Seymour. Mr. Lambert retired, and after the election the members of the Board were Mr. A. P. Seymour (Chairman), Hon. Colonel Baillie, M.L.C., Messrs. Carter, Hutchison, Mills, Parker, Paul, H. C. Seymour, and Ward. The Board held fourteen meetings during the year. Schools.—l had to report last year the loss of the large Blenheim School by fire, and that the teaching was carried on with much difficulty and inconvenience in temporary premises hired for the purpose. I have now to report that the new school, having been completed earlier than was anticipated, was opened for teaching on the 27th January, 1890. This school is a very substantial brick building, built to accommodate a little over five hundred children, commodious and well fitted up, and appears satisfactory in every respect. I regret to have also to report the loss by fire of the head teacher's residence in Blenheim, which occurred on the night of the 22nd April, 1889. This building has also been replaced by a more suitable dwelling-house. The cost of both of these buildings has been practically borne by the department,—in the case of the residence, which was erected by the Board, acting under instructions from the department, at a cost of £459, of which £450 was the amount applied for by the Board, and granted for the purpose. In regard to the school, the Board has no information of its cost, this building having been constructed by the department entirely. Thirty-six schools were at work at the end of the year, of which nineteen were aided schools. Attendance. —On the 31st December, 1888, the weekly number on the roll was 1,735, and the average attendance 1,347. At the end of the year these had increased respectively to 1,854 and 1,393. Teacheeb. —The staff consisted of fifty-seven teachers of all grades, twenty-eight being males and twenty-nine females. Scholarship.—The two scholarships at the Nelson College are now held by Lewis Griffiths, in his second year, and by Claude Houghton Mills, the winner at the last examination. Finance.—The balance-sheet shows a balance to debit at the beginning of the year; but this was more apparent than real —sufficient money was in the hands of the department at this time to make up a credit balance, but had not been paid over, in consequence of certain returns which should have been furnished not having then reached the department. I have, &c, A. P. Seymour, Chairman, Marlborough Education Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

NELSON. Sir,— Nelson, 31st March, 1890. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board during the year ending the 31st December, 1889. Board.—The Board has held thirteen meetings during the year, the average attendance at each meeting being eight. The late Chairman of the Board, the Hon. J. W. Barnicoat, having retired from the Board in March, the Bishop of Nelson was elected Chairman, the vacancy caused by Mr. Barnicoat's resignation being filled up by Mr. G. Talbot. The Board now consists of the following members : The Bishop of Nelson (Chairman), the Hon. Joseph Shephard, Messrs. S. Clayden, H. A. Tarrant, W. H. Phillips, jun., Joseph G. Harkness, M.H.E., C. Dencker, Eichmond Hursthouse, G. Talbot. Schools.—Ninety-one schools were at work at the close of 1889, twenty-three of these being aided schools, and three household schools. These twenty-six establishments receive a capitation allowance of £4, and an allowance for contingencies, in the case of the aided schools, varying from 10s. to 11s. 6d. for each scholar in daily attendance. Teaching Staff.—At the close of the year 168 teachers of all grades were on the staff. Of these, sixty-four were male and 104 female teachers. Forty-five are classed as probationers (equivalent to pupil-teachers)—an increase of six since 1888. Attendance ov Scholars. —The number of scholars on the roll at the end of 1889 was 5,749, being an increase of 267 on the previous year. The average attendance at the same period was 4,489, an increase during the year of 291. A circular (not the first of the kind) having been sent to the Board by the Education Department, giving a list of the numerous uncertificated teachers in the service of the Board, it was resolved that the Board's practice should in future be brought into stricter conformity with the provisions of the Education Act as to the employment of uncertificated teachers. A circular was therefore sent early in May to thirty-two uncertificated teachers, requiring them to present themselves at the examination of teachers in January, 1890, with the view of obtaining the certificate which the law requires. Twenty of those addressed presented themselves for examination, eight of whom obtained either a partial or a full pass. Of the twelve who absented themselves three produced medical certificates of ill-health. No satisfactory reason has so far been assigned for the absence of the remaining nine. The Board is of opinion that it is most desirable that the Education Department should without delay prepare and lay before the country, through the Government, a scheme for providing a pension and superannuation fund for teachers who have been long in the service of the department. I have, &c, Andrew Burn Suter, Bishop of Nelson, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir,— Hokitika, 4th March, 1890. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Westland for the year 1889. Boahd. —At the date of the last annual report the Board consisted of Messrs. Mueller, Bevan, Grimmond, and McWhirter, nominated by the Government, and Messrs. Jack, Seddon, and Will, elected by the School Committees. By clause 4of " The Westland and Grey Education Boards Act, 1888," it was provided that the members then in office should continue to hold office until the last day of March, 1890 ; consequently there has been no alteration in the constitution of the Board. Seventeen meetings of the Board were called during the year, one of which lapsed for want of a quorum, and four were special meetings. The average attendance during the year was 54 members at each meeting, and the attendance of the individual members was as follows : Mr. Bevan, 13; Mr. Grimmond, 8 ; Mr. Jack, 15; Mr. McWhirter, 12; Mr. Mueller, 13 ; Mr. Seddon, 11; Mr. Will, 16. School Distbicts.—There has been no alteration in the number of school districts, but in two cases it has been thought necessary to make alterations in their boundaries. The boundaries of the Kumara District were altered so as to exclude the Eangiriri School, which is so distant from Kumara that the Committee could not conveniently look after it to the satisfaction of the residents. Eangiriri is therefore now an aided school, the alteration taking effect from the Ist January, 1890. In the second case, the Kokatahi River, which is frequently impassable through floods, has been made the southern boundary of the Kokatahi School District. New Schools. —Seven small schools have, been opened this year —namely, Taipo, Upper and Lower Otira (half-time), Koiterangi, Mapourika, Haast (half-time with Okuru), and Callaghan's. One school, Lake Brunner, has been closed. The three first named were opened in consequence of the closing of the Lake Brunner School, and at these and Mapourika no expense has been incurred for buildings. At Koiterangi and Haast new buildings have been erected, comprising quarters for the teacher in addition to the schoolroom. At Callaghan's the Board reopened a school that had been closed for some years, and has added to the building a cottage for the teacher. Attendance.—The total number of children on the school rolls at the end of the year was 1,696, and the average attendance for the last quarter was 1,420, or 837 per cent., which is 4-4 per cent, higher than the New Zealand average for 1888, as given on Table A of the Minister's last report. The mean average attendance for the four quarters amounts to 789 per cent, of the mean average weekly roll for the year. This is exceeded by only three districts in the colony. Although the roll number has decreased by 3-5 per cent., the mean average attendance has increased by 1-2 per cent. Retrenchments.—The retrenchments effected during the year 1888 in the Board's expenditure, and which were fully explained in the last annual report, have hitherto had the desired effect of keeping it within the limits of the Board's revenue ; but it is only by the exercise of a rigid economy, and by a strict adherence to its regulations respecting staffs and salaries, &c, that the Board can hope to continue t£> administer its affairs in the same satisfactory manner, especially if the gradual decrease of population which has been observable of late years is not soon arrested. Any further attempts at retrenchment could no_fc but result in serious injury to, if not a total collapse of, the education system in Westland. The Minister has only to glance over the salaries paid to teachers in Westland, and compare them with those paid to teachers of similar schools in other

69

E.—l

70

parts of New Zealand, to see for himself that (excepting the aided schools) the rate of payment is much below what it is elsewhere. That this inferiority in remuneration is not attended by any corresponding loss of efficiency in the majority of Westland schools is highly creditable to the teachers]1 and is amply proved (irrespective of the local standard examinations) by the results of the scholarship, Civil Service, and teachers' examinations. Soholarships.—There are two scholarships held under the Board's regulations, each of the annual value of £50. The amount is large; but, owing to the absence of any high school in Westland, the holders of scholarships are compelled to leave the district, and continue their studies in distant places at a great expense, which is by no means covered even by the liberal amount of the scholarship payment. In the hope of bringing about a better condition of affairs, by encouraging the Governors of the Hokitika High School to take action, the Board passed a resolution affirming the principle that its scholarships should be tenable at the Hokitika High School only ; and, although up to the present time nothing has been done, the Board believes that more energetic action will shortly be taken by the Governors, and, if so, it may be practicable for the Board to offer double the number of scholarships hitherto awarded. The success that has attended the efforts to supply secondary education at Greymouth should encourage the governing body to enter upon the task for which it was created ; and this Board would earnestly press upon the attention of the Minister of Education the justice of affording to Westland a fair amount of assistance towards the establishment of a secondary school. It is well known that many families have left the district chiefly on account of the absence of the means of higher education, and to check any further depletion, as well as to supply the evidently increasing demand for secondary education in this district, it is absolutely necessary that this long-neglected and important matter should receive immediate attention. In the hope of assisting to bring about so desirable a result, the Board has exercised its privilege of nominating a member of the High School Board by placing on it a gentleman who has been from the first a consistent advocate of the High School, and who is fully alive to the importance of an immediate attempt on the part of the Governors to justify their existence as a public body by at least laying the foundation of the institution over which they are supposed to preside. Small Schools.—The number of small schools in this district is relatively greater than in any other part of the colony, owing to the very small population and the extensive area over which it is distributed. Instead of a majority of the schools being self-supporting, and many yielding a large surplus, there are in Westland only five schools that are not carried on more or less at a loss ; while only three—namely, Kuinara, Hokitika, and Eoss —yield a surplus, out of which all the ordinary expenses of the Board must be met. The maintenance of very small schools in outlying districts appears to be regarded with disfavour in certain quarters ; but the Board believes that it is one of its most important functions to diffuse the benefits of primary education as widely as possible, and especially to bring them within reach of those whose isolation from their fellowcolonists entails upon them abundant disadvantages and hardships without having the want of education for their children added to their number. The establishment of small schools is referred to in the Inspector's report, and with his remarks on that subject this Board cordially agrees. Eetubns. —The returns already sent to Wellington, and the Inspector's report forwarded with this, will furnish all the details required for the information of the department. I have, &c, Gerhard Mueller, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

NOETH CANTEEBUEY. Sic, — Christchurch, 31st March, 1890. 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, 1889. The Board. —The three members of the Board who retired by rotation at the end of March were Mr? Bowen, Mr. Cunningham, and Mr. Saunders. Mr. Bowen did not stand for re-election. Mr, Cunningham and Mr. Saunders were re-elected, and Mr. Parker Westeura now fills the place vacated by Mr. Bowen. At a meeting held on the 18th April, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Weston, and Mr. Anson were elected members of the Appointments Committee, and Mr. Peryman, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Westenra members of the Buildings Committee. On the 9th May Mr. Saunders was elected Chairman of the Board. The Board held seventeen ordinary meetings and one special meeting during the year. The Buildings Committee met twenty times, including three special meetings, and the Appointments Committee forty-eight times. School Buildings.—No new districts were formed during the year 1889. A new schoolroom was built at Glenroy, and a master's house at Marshland ; additions were made to the schoolrooms at Belfast and Little Eiver ; and considerable improvements and repairs to the schools at Akaroa, Ashburton, Christchurch East, Christchurch West, Clarkville, Fernside, Killinchy, Lincoln, Prebbleton, Eakaia, Eangiora, Eussell's Flat, Spreydon, St. Albans, Sydenham, Weedon, Woodend. The total expenditure on buildings was £5,243 os. 6d. Maintenance of Schools. —The expenditure on teachers' salaries (including all allowances) was £50,117 7s. 7d., and the grants to Committees for incidental purposes amounted to £6,432 os. 2d., making a total of £56,549 7s. 9d. The average attendance for the year was 16,653. The cost per head for teachers' salaries was therefore £3 os. 2Jd., and the entire cost per head of maintaining the schools, including all incidental expenses, was £3 7s. lid. The following table gives the expenditure on salaries and incidentals for the years 1878, 1888, and 1889 : —

Table No. 7;': gives the amount spent in each school district for salaries and ordinary expenses, and the names and status of all the teachers employed. The number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year (exclusive of forty sewing mistresses) was 519, of whom 186 were pupil-teachers. Attendance.—The number of school districts at the close of the year 1889 was 144 ; and the number of separate schools, including the practising department of the Normal School, was 161. Two of these, at Gough's Bay and Winchmore, were aided schools. The schools are classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, 8 : 15 and under 20, 9 ; 20 and under 25, 13 ; 25 and under 50, 49 ; 50 and under 75, 30; 75 and under 100, 14 ; 100 and under 150, 15 ; 150 and under 300, 11 ; 300 and under 500, 7 ; 500 and upwards, 5. The usual returns of the number and ages of the children, and of the number taught in each subject of instruction, are appended. The following table shows the total number on the rolls, the number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance for the years 1878, 1888, and 1889 :—

Scholabships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held in April. The number of candidates examined was 124, of whom sixty-two (thirty-nine boys and twenty-three girls) were in Class A, forty-seven (twenty-eight boys and nineteen girls) in Class B, nine (six boys and three girls) in Class C, and six (five boys and one girl) in Class D. Standing Committees. —As it is five years since this Board decided to make a division of the large and ever-increasing amount of executive work devolving upon it by the appointment of small select standing committees of its own members, each of which should undertake to thoroughly investigate and understand its own department of the Board's business, it has now had sufficient experience to be able to say that that system of apportioning the work has led to very good results. Largely composed, as it always has been, of gentlemen fully occupied with important private business of their own, it was never possible to get the Board as a whole to give such an amount of time to each detail of the work devolving on it as would constitute a real and effectual supervision of the work performed by its paid officers, so that it was only by some such division of labour as that afforded by the appointment of small standing committees that anything like effectual representative control could possibly be insured. Although annually elected, little change has taken place from year to year in the personnel of these committees, so that the members become experts in

their own department, and are thus prepared to go well beneath the surface of each subject upon which they are called on to advise the Board. Pour of these committees have annually been appointed, bearing the names of the Buildings, the Appointments, the Finance, and the Normal School ©ommittees. To refer to the work in which these committees have successfully led the way, reviewed, revised, and adopted as their recommendations have been by the Board as a whole, will be to refer to by far the most important work of the Board itself. Buildings Committee. —By the Buildings Committee the state of each school building is intimately known, and the work most necessary to preserve the property intrusted to the Board has generally been accomplished, although with restricted means, as the reduced and altogether insufficient sum lately allotted to the Board has made it impossible to provide in all cases the required accommodation, or even to keep the buildings painted and repaired. Appointments Committee. —By the Appointments Committee the performance of each teacher in the employ of the Board has become intimately known, and a well-arranged record has been kept of all the reports affecting their character, their value, and the kind of work for which they are most adapted. A considerable number of unsatisfactory teachers have been weeded out; each examination report received from the Inspectors has been carefully considered, and prompt action taken upon it when required ; so that the staff of teachers now employed is one upon which the Board can look with very considerable satisfaction and confidence. Except in very few instances, where some strong local or personal feelings prevail, the School Committees show increased confidence in the recommendations of the Board, and in many instances prefer to leave the appointment of teachers entirely to the Board. The Inspectors' annual reports show a steady advance in educational results, and the confidence and interest of parents are strikingly indicated by a regular increase in the percentage of the average attendance of children on the rolls from 73*83 in 1878 to 82*78 during the past year. It is perhaps to be regretted that the teachers in the employment of the Board, so far as indicated in the action of their Institutes, as well as by the direction of their apparent influence upon the Press, are too hastily inclined to deprecate the vigorous and well-informed action of the Appointments Committee in the matter of appointments and dismissals. But the Board believes it to be impossible that such a feeling can long continue; for, although one dismissed teacher will naturally make more noise than forty that are secured and promoted, a body of well-educated men and women cannot long fail to see that the respectability and the stability of their position as worthy members of an honourable staff can in no way be so well secured as by the existence of a local power sufficiently well informed, disinterested, and strong to dismiss those who would pull down the character and usefulness of their profession, and which is capable of jealously guarding the reputation and position of meritorious teachers, and of fearlessly investigating the actions even of those supervising officials of the Board upon whose conscientious impartiality the security and comfort of the profession so largely depend. The Board is quite conscious that, notwithstanding the correct information and the uniform care of the Appointments Committee, the best possible appointment of a teacher has not in all cases been made. It is not always possible for the Board to insist narrowly and absolutely upon a selection based upon its own more extended and reliable information, without some danger of destroying the confidence of the School Committees that every reasonable attention will be paid to their wishes in the appointment of a teacher for their own school, and that no interference which is not absolutely necessary will be allowed to lessen the sense of responsibility and interest which it is so desirable that every School Committee should feel in. its useful work of gratuitous local supervision. Finance Committee. —The economy of administration practised by the Board, under the guidance of its Financial Committee, is best shown by the fact that, whilst almost all other public departments in New Zealand have largely increased both in actual and relative expenditure since the passing of the Education Act in 1877, the purely administrative expenditure of the Board upon each child educated has been steadily reduced from more than 2s. sd. per head in 1878 to less than Is. 4d. in 1889. The supervision by the Board as such costs the taxpayers nothing except the travelling expenses of members, which amounted last year to £185 125., or about 2d. per head of the children educated. In the month of May one of the three Inspectors previously in the service of the Board resigned to accept the headmastership of Timaru High School, and the Board decided not to fill the vacancy, believing that the necessary inspection work may be satisfactorily accomplished by the two very able officers now employed. This has reduced the outlay on inspection by something like £600, which keeps the expenditure of the Board safely within the capitation grant, and enables it to make a small addition to the salaries of some thirty-eight teachers, whose powers are taxed very severely to meet the work required of them in the largest of those country schools in which a second teacher is not employed. Normal School Committee. — The energies of the Normal School Committee have not been severely taxed, but the result of their work has been most satisfactory. The able, conciliatory, and truly parental supervision of the present Principal has established a spirit of harmony, confidence, and co-operation amongst the teachers and students that causes the work of both to tell most effectively in the desired direction. More students apply for admission than can be conveniently received, and it has been necessary to convert part of the drill-shed into a room for the Model School, in order to provide sufficient accommodation for the increased number of children that are now sent to the practising department. As the necessarily migratory character of the student teachers makes it almost imperative that the few high-class permanent teachers employed in this school should not be frequently changed, some slight increase of salaries has been found necessary to remove the probability of that inconvenience. But, notwithstanding this increase of a few salaries and the large iifoease of attendance, the amount spent upon the Normal School is now £3,161 4s. 2d., as against £5,382 14s. sd. in 1887. This reduction in cost has not been attained at any sacrifice of efficiency. The results »f the Inspectors' last examination show that the Practising School continues to hold a very satisfactory position among the great schools in the district. In the training department twenty-nine out of thirty students admitted completed the full

73

E.—l

year's course, nine of whom had matriculated previous to entrance, and pursued their studies at Canterbury College. Of the twenty students for whose instruction the tutors at the Normal School are.^ entirely responsible, fourteen, out of seventeen presented, passed the matriculation, and sixteen1 passed wholly or partly the examination for the Class D certificate. The year 1890 opens with thirty-eight students, room being available for the additional number in consequence of the termination of the engagements of three pupil-teachers, and an increase in the number of children attending the school. Conclusion. —Whilst convinced that cumulative voting, as authorised in our Education Act, has led to some evident abuses in the very small electorates by which School Committees are appointed, and that some few amendments in detail might be advantageously adopted by the Legislature, this Board has much reason to be satisfied with many clear indications manifested that the present system of education continues to grow in public favour and confidence. The careful exclusion of sectarian teaching has shown no tendency to foster anything approaching to a spirit of national profanity or irreverence. Children whom the State has taught to read are far better prepared to profit by the now purely religious instruction voluntarily given by each denomination in their Sunday schools; and, as a matter of fact, blameless character, correct personal habits, and a really high moral tone are now more decidedly, and more successfully, insisted upon as a necessary qualification in a teacher than they have ever been before at any period of our history. A singularly large proportion of our teachers are earnest and consistent professors of religion, and amongst them are members of every large religious denomination without exception. The statistics of crime; the high positions of trust attained, and honourably occupied by the men and women who have passed through our State schools ; the value which is everywhere attached to the various certificates obtained by our scholars ; the comparatively small percentage of uneducated adults now shown in our census ; and the highly satisfactory and beneficial blending of all classes and denominations in our State schools, are so many cheering proofs that New Zealand has not entirely failed in her bold attempt to grapple with, a great subject, the formidable difficulties of which no Government has ever yet been able to surmount with complete satisfaction and success. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Alfred Saundees, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTERBURY. giE, Education Office, Tirnaru, 31st March, 1890. In accordance with the 102 nd clause of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year ended the 31st December, 1889. Board. —At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members: The Eev. George Barclay, J.P.; the Rev. Thomas Jasper Smyth; Mr. Melville Gray, J.P.; Mr. Richard Alfred Barker; Mr. John Talbot, J.P.; Mr. John Jackson, J.P.; Mr. William Barker Howell, J.P. ; Mr. Robert Henry Pearpoint, J.P.; and Mr. Samuel William Goldsmith, Chairman. On the 31st March the Rev. George Barclay, Messrs. Goldsmith and Jackson, retired in terms of section 15 of the Act. The following gentlemen were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies—viz., the Rev. George Barclay, Messrs. Goldsmith, Jackson, and Oliver—and the voting resulted in" the re-election of the retiring members of the Board. No extraordinary vacancies occurred during the year. At the usual meeting of the Board in April Mr. Goldsmith was re-elected Chairman. Twelve regular meetings were held during the year, the day of meeting being the first 10— E. 1.

Thursday in the month except in the month of January, when the Board met on the third Thursday. The average attendance of members was very good, being 76. The officers of the Board were the same as at the end of last year. Numbeb of Schools. —On the 31st December, 1889, there were fifty-two schools in operation. Gave and Glenavy schools were opened during the year; the latter has progressed so rapidly that it now wants enlarging. Of the fifty-two schools under the Board the classification is as follows : Under 25 pupils, 11; between 25 and 50, 25; between 50 and 100, 9; between 100 and 300, 5; between 300 and 500, 1 ; 500 and upwards, 1. There are no half-time schools included in the above; nor were there any schools closed during the year. The number of aided schools was eleven. Attendance.—Prom the accompanying return it will be seen that there is a steady increase in the number of scholars attending the Board's schools in spite of the number of families who have left for larger centres in consequence of depressed times—in fact, the decrease in the first quarter of the year caused very considerable loss to the Board. The average roll number for the year ending 31st December, 1889, was 4,858-2, against 4,703 of the previous year. The ratio of average attendance to roll number is steadily improving, being 79 this year as against 77 last year. Finance. —The balance-sheet, duly certified by the Auditor-General, is appended. The Building Account shows a debit balance of £414 35., without, however, taking into consideration the building grant of the year, £864 35., which has since been paid, really leaving the Building Fund in credit^ £450. Of this, £250 will be expended on the Hakateramea contract, leaving the Board with a residue of less than £200 to build Seadown and meet the contingencies of the next twelve months. The Maintenance Account shows a balance of £211, which, with other assets, brings up the credit to £438 ss. 6d. Buildings.—During the year just past the Board has built, furnished, and opened for educational purposes schools at Cave and Glenavy, commencing the former with a roll number of thirty-four and the latter with forty-three. The Glenavy School site has also been fenced. Additions have been made to Orari Bridge, Orari South, and Washdyke Schools, with extra furniture supplied. A partition also was erected in the Orari South School, to which the Committee contributed half. A new survey was made of the Washdyke School site on the occasion of a grant being made of another half-acre by the Christchurch College authorities. The schools at Burkes Pass, Opihi, and Fairlie Creek have been repaired and painted, the Committees handsomely contributing towards the same; and at the latter school a new well was sunk. A well was also sunk at Hunter. The sum of £300 was set aside and banked on account of the new school at Geraldine, and a further sum of £288 has been allocated to the same purpose out of the new building grant. Sites have been purchased at Hakateramea, Seadown, and Waihao. Extensive repairs, occasioned by the gale of the 9th September, had to be carried out at Upper Otaio, where very extensive damage was done to the residence and the teacher's house ; at Kingsdown, where the school porch was destroyed ; at St. Andrews, where the wall had to be taken down and rebuilt, besides other repairs; at Pareora, where the master's house was wrecked ; at Temuka, where a chimney-stack was blown down, destroying the roof and floor of classroom ; at Totara Valley, where the roof was very nearly blown away, as well as at Silverstreani, where all the spouting was damaged. The roof of the school at Woodbury has been thoroughly repaired, the wash-house at Albury rebuilt (the former one having been blown away). A stove has been furnished to Hilton, with extra furniture. The roof of the Pleasant Point School has been renewed, and some repairs made to the fencing of the Timaru Side School. The ceilings in the Waimate School have been patched, but much remains still to be done to make the interior trim and sightly. Extra furniture, maps, and other material have been supplied to Waimate, Waitohi Flat, Upper Waitohi, Wai-iti, Timaru, Orari South, Orari Bridge, Hilton, and Washdyke ; whilst a great many small grants have been made in aid of the incidental funds of various schools. The Board would put on record here its high appreciation of the efforts generally made by the School Committees to aid in carrying out any necessary repairs to their respective schools by contributing towards the cost; and in all small grants made by the Board the School Committees have been invariably required to contribute an equal sum of pound for pound towards effecting the desired purpose. One thing is pressing very urgently upon the Board, and seems as far off realisation as ever, and that is a general painting and restoring of the schools and residences throughout the district. Many of the buildings are really old, and the comparatively new ones are suffering from this neglect; but with a small Building Fund to satisfy the always increasing demands of population, and to maintain the interiors supplied with educational material, the Board has very little margin left for outside work. Eesidences are required at Adair, Cave, Gapes Valley, Glenavy, Hakateramea, Eangitata Station, Eangatira Valley, Eedcliffe, Temuka, Timaru Side, Waimate, and Waimataitai. The Board will have to build this year a new school at Seadown, and also seriously to entertain the project of another school in the Waitaki North District. Wai-iti is urging the Board for extension, and Arundel is still pressing its claims. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examination took place in January, the examiners being a committee of gentlemen and teachers acting in conjunction with the Board's Inspector. There were eighteen candidates —including seven from the Waimate High School, who were examined for scholarships given by the Waimate Board of Governors —sixteen juniors and two seniors. On the report of the examiners the following new scholarships were granted : [five names follow]. There was no award made to any senior candidate. District High Schools.—lt appears from the Inspector's report on the district high schools that fifteen scholars were examined in secondary subjects at Waimate, and nine at Temuka. The subjects taken at Waimate were English, Latin, Euclid, and algebra ; at Temuka, French, Latin, Euclid, and algebra. As in past years, the Waimate High School Board of Governors gave a contribution of £75 towards the cost of maintaining an extra teacher at Waimate.

* Since tins was printed a, further sum of £300 has been granted by Government as the Board's share of the balance previously unappropriated.

Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in July. The following table shows the number of pupil-teachers who sat for examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed :— Presented. Passed. Failed. Fourth year ... ... ... ... 12 ... 10 ... 2 Third year ... ... ... ... 9 ... 7 ... 2 Second year ... ... ... ... 3 ... 2 First year ... ... ... ... 12 ... 10 ... 2 Eight candidates, not yet holding appointments, took part in the examination, four of whom passed and four failed. Nine of the pupil-teachers who took part in the fourth-year examination sat for the E certificate at the teachers' examination. Four passed in all the subjects, four obtained "partial passes/ and one failed. Of the three prizes for drawing, open to candidates from the whole of New Zealand, the second was awarded to Theophilus B. Strong, a pupil-teaoher from the Waimate District High School. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Samuel W. Goldsmith, Chairman.

EEPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, 25th February, 1890. I have the honour to submit the following report on the District High Schools of Waimate and Temuka. Fifteen scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and nine at Temuka. Miss Gertrude A. Brown, one of the Temuka scholars, has been successful in passing the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University.

Temuka District High School.

Waimate. English. —The answering of this class showed that their " Macbeth " had been intelligently read and closely studied. In the written examination, embracing questions in grammar and composition, and on the history of the English language, there were three papers of moderate quality, two were good, three very good, and one excellent. Latin. —Miss Miller professed a book of Virgil in addition to the work prescribed in the Third Course. Her translations of passages from Caesar and Virgil were marked by precision and taste in expression ; and the skill she showed in rendering difficult sentences and continuous passages into Latin gave evidence of the soundness of her training. The work of the pupils in the junior classes reached a high standard of merit. Euclid. —Miss Miller's work was almost faultless, and Miss Freeman's and Master Baxter's was very good. Algebra. —ln this subject five of the seven pupils who were taking the course prescribed in the syllabus gained full marks, and of the two remaining one gained 70 per cent, and the other 60. Miss Miller's percentage of 95 on a paper going considerably beyond the work of the Third Course was in keeping with the remarkable efficiency she has shown in all her subjects. Temuka. Latin. —ln the advanced class the translation from Livy was good, and from Virgil only moderate; the Latin composition was poor. The third-year pupil's translation from Caesar was very good, but the rest of his paper was inaccurate. The second-year pupil gained only 33 per cent. Of the papers of the first year two were good and one very good. French. —The only paper in French was a very creditable one. Euclid. —The third-year pupil completely broke down in this paper. One second-year pupil did very well, and the other failed badly. The first-year scholars gained 90 and 65 per cent, respectively. Algebra. —The results of the examination in algebra are very uneven, the first-year pupils gaining 100 and 85 per cent, respectively, the second-year pupils 60 and 0 per cent., and the thirdyear pupil 25 per cent. I have, &c, Jas. Gibson Gow, M.A., Inspector. The Chairman, South Canterbury Education Board.

OTAGO. Siß,— Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1890. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report on educational matters in the district for the year 1889 : — Boabd. —At the date of last annual report the members constituting the Board were—Hon. Thomas Dick, Messrs. John McKenzie, Henry Clark, James Green, James Pulton, Michael Fraer, John W. Jago, John Macgregor, and Dr. Hislop. The retiring members under section 15 of the Act ware the Hon. Mr. Dick, and Messrs. McKenzie and Clark. Candidates were nominated for the three vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of the three retiring members. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Mr. Henry Clark was re-elected Chairman. Dr. Brown and Mr. James Fulton were reappointed members of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools Board. Mr. J. C. Gilchrist was the representative of the Board on the Waitaki High School Board for the year. The Board held twenty-three meetings during the year. Number of Schools. —At the end of 1888 there were 187 schools in operation. In the course of the year new schools were opened at Ratanui, Island Cliff, Eongahere, and Wanaka Eoad.

in connection with the harbour works. The number of schools in operation at the close of the year was therefore 190. Towards the close oithe year the Board sanctioned the establishment of schools at Windsor and Nenthorn, where buildings are now in course of erection. As in the previous year, a large number of applications for the establishment of schools had to be declined ow:ing to the want of funds to provide the necessary buildings. Attendance.—There are in the district twenty-four schools the average attendance at each of which is under twenty pupils. It has always been the aim of the Board to avoid as far as possible the multiplying of small non-paying schools, and the recent increase in the number of this class of school is due not so much to the establishment of new schools as to the fact that in several of the long-settled districts the children have grown beyond school age, while there are few younger ones growing up to supply their places. Teachebs. —At the end of the year there were 524 teachers employed —an increase of eleven for the year. The number of male head teachers has decreased by five, while the number of female head teachers has increased by ten. This result is due to a recent regulation of the Board to the effect that female teachers shall be appointed to all schools having an average attendance of less than thirty pupils. The following extract from the annual report of the Inspectors shows that the change is one which is already leading to beneficial results: '-The practice of appointing females as head teachers in many of the smaller rural schools is working very well. Female teachers do not move from school to school so frequently as males, and on the whole they conduct schools of this class decidedly better than most of the male teachers who fill such positions." Pupil-teachers.—There were 149 pupil-teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year. The annual examination took place about the middle of December. The following table shows the number that sat at the examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed : — Presented. Passed. Failed. First class ... ... ... 34 ... 34 ... 0 Second class ... ... ... 41 ... 41 ... 0 Third class ... ... ... 35 ... 38 ... 2 Fourth class ... ... • ... 37 ... 3(3 ... I The services of one pupil-teacher were dispensed with for failing twice to pass the examination for promotion to a higher class. From the above table it will be seen that only three pupil-teachers failed to pass the annual examination in December. This satisfactory result i* to be attributed mainly to the fact that a better class of candidates is now offering for the office of pupil-teacher. Many of those recently appointed had passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University before being appointed, and several have been holders of the Board's junior and senior scholarships. New regulations bearing upon the appointment, education, and training of pupilteachers were adopted during the year. 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. At the beginning of 1878 the new education district of Southland was created, and thirtyseven schools were handed over to the newly-formed Board : —■

The preceding table shows that in the Dunedin schools 150 fewer pupils were enrolled last year than during the previous year, while the total enrolments in the whole district practically remain the same. The average attendance shows ari increase of 610 pupils. The number in attendance at the close of the year shows an increase of 318. Scholarships.—Eighteen scholarships—ten senior and eight junior—were offered for competition at the end of the year. Thirty-nine candidates competed for the senior and sixty-two for the junior scholarships. It is worthy of mention that three out of the ten junior scholarships awarded by the New Zealand University were gained by former holders of the Board's scholarships. For a number of years the Board of Governors of the Dunedin High Schools has granted free education to all who won scholarships, and also to all competitors for senior scholarships who gained 50 per cent, of the marks at the scholarship examination. The High Schools Board has, however, recently intimated that, owing to its financial position, free education to scholarship holders will be discontinued. At present sixty-seven pupils receive free education at the Dunedin High Schools under the scholarship scheme. In Appendix O will be found a return showing the names of these who have held scholarships at any time since the institution of the scheme in 1878 till the end of last year, the date when the scholarship began, the occupation of the parent, the occupation now followed by the scholarship holder, and other information.

Inspection.—During the year all the schools in the district were examined, and all but eight were visited for inspection. Of the latter, four were closed when the Inspectors were visiting the schools of the district in which they were situated. The following is an abstract of the work done by the Inspectors during the year : —

Standards. —In all, 14,173 pupils were presented for examination in the standards. Of these there were present 13,848, and 11,596 passed. The number of pupils exeepted was 393, being a slightly larger proportion of the whole than in recent years. The number of absentees was 325, or slightly less than 2-3 per cent, of the number presented. The percentage of absentees has never before been so low as this. Out of every hundred children examined in the standards 84 passed— a result which the Board regards as highly satisfactory. The average percentage of marks for class subjects was 55, and the average of marks for additional subjects 68. Of the 188 schools examined— 17 (= 9 per cent.) had a percentage of failures ranging from ... oto 5 30 ( = 16 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 6 to 10 74 (= 39 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 11 to 20 34 (= 18 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 21 to 30 19 (= 10 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 31 to 40 11 (= 6 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 41 to 50 3(= 2 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 51 to 67 This statement shows that in 25 per cent, of the schools the percentage of failures was under 11, and in 64 per cent, of them it was under 21. The proportion of schools in which good examination results were gained is much the same as it was last year. Efficiency.—The report of the Inspectors bears testimony to the general efficiency of the schools, as well as to the earnest attention of the teachers and the continued good conduct of the pupils. Class Subjects.—ln class subjects the average percentage was 55-5, as against 56 for 1888. 10 schools had a percentage ranging from ... ... ... 70 to 78 55 „ „ „ ... ... ... 60 to 69 80 „ ;, ... ... ... 50 to 59 43 „ „ „ ... ... ... 32 to 49 Additional Subjects.—ln additional subjects the average was 682, as against 66 for last year. 10 schools ranging from ... ... ... ... 90 to 102 31 „ „ ... ... ... ... 80 to 89 65 „ „ ... ... ... ... 70 to 79 33 „ ... ... ... ... 60 to 69 26 „ „ ... ... ... ... 50 to 59 23 „ „ ... ... ... ... 25 to 49 Training College.—The attendance of students for the year was— Males.

A table showing the names of the teachers employed, their classification, and the income which each received, is given in Appendix A. The same table shows the amount paid by the Board to each Committee in aid of the school fund, and the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings. The following table shows the cost per pupil on the average attendance for the past three years :—

The decrease of expenditure for the past two years is necessarily due to the reductions made by Parliament in the education grant. School Committees' Accounts. —An abstract of the income and expenditure of the School Committees will be found in Appendix E. [Not reprinted.] The Board contributed the sum of £4,444 11s. 7d., while £1,285 17s. lOd. was raised locally. The balance standing to the Committees' credit at the close of the year was £1,519 Bs. 10d., being a decrease of £66 7s. 2d. on that of the preceding year.

Palmerston District High School.

English. —The pupils showed a very good knowledge of the language and incidents of this play, which is but slightly abridged in this edition. Difficult words and phrases were well explaiued. * Latin. —The boy in Class I. answered fairly. Classes 11. and 111. translated the passages set in good style, and answered the questions in syntax and grammar with very satisfactory accuracy. The composition was very fairly done by Class 11. French. —All the work of Class I. was well done except the parsing. Of Class 11. seven did well, two fairly, and two poorly. Geometry. —Three of the papers handed in were of inferior quality ; the rest ranged from fair to excellent, most of them being good. Algebra. —Class I. gave in excellent papers. In Class 11. all the papers were good, and four gained full marks. In Class 111. there was one poor paper ; all the rest were good, and seven gained full marks. This subject has been taught with greaffc skill and thoroughness.

Port Chalmers District High School.

English. —The pupils answered very well in this subject. They paraphrase with more than ordinary taste, and explain difficult words and passages shortly and clearly. The text in this greatly-abridged edition hardly supplies sufficient work for a year. Latin-. —The pupil in Class I. answered fairly. The translation of the passage from the " Germania " was not so good as that of the extract from Virgil. Parsing and accidence were well known, and syntax but fairly. In Classes 11. and 111. the translation was well done, and parsing and accidence were in most cases good. The questions in syntax were fairly answered, and the composition ranged from moderate to fair.

* The pupil in Class I. (Latin) attends during a small part of the day only. Many of the pupils travel by rail, and of these some arrive at 10.30 a.m., and a still larger number at 11 a.m.

Algebra. —This subject was very well answered. French. —ln Class 111. there was one very inferior paper, and one about fair. The rest were of good quality. The work of Classes I. and 11. was all of a highly creditable character. Geometry. —Both classes passed a very good examination, rive of the pupils gaining full marks, and two 95 per cent, of the marks.

Tokomairiro District High School.

English. —The passage set was fairly paraphrased, though the sense was in a good many cases very loosely expressed. Difficult words and passages were well explained, and the matter and incidents well known. We do not think it advisable to spend much time on derivation and the history of words, but these matters should not be wholly neglected. Latin. —ln Class I. the translation and parsing were good ; the inflections of substantives and verbs were given with fair accuracy ; syntax was badly known; and Latin composition was moderately done. In Class 11. the papers were of very unequal merit. A few answered well throughout, but most did but fairly, and several did badly. French. —Of Class I. one pupil showed a satisfactory knowledge of the work read, and the other knew very little about it. The work done by Class 11. is trifling in quantity. Of the pupils two did fairly and the other very poorly. More time should be given to this subject, or else it should be given up altogether. Geometry. —The work of all the classes is very unequal. A few of the pupils have done well, but most of the rest only fairly, or even poorly. Seven of them did badly. Algebra. —ln Class I. one pupil gained full marks, four others gave in good papers, and the two remaining pupils inferior ones. The best pupil in Class 11. gained just half marks ;of the others, three did moderately, and two very badly. Class 111. answered very poorly, only three of the papers being fair. The teaching of this subject has been much less successful than, in previous years.

English. —Both classes showed a good knowledge of the work read. The answers, however, showed that the pupils have little acquaintance with the principles of composition. The text of the play in this edition is too much abridged to form a full year's work. Latin. —In Class I. the translation was faithful, but too little care was taken to express it in English idiom. The questions in parsing and inflections were most accurately answered, and those iv syntax and composition very fairly. Class 11., while not exempt from the faults of translation seen in Class 1., answered in every part of the subject with highly creditable accuracy. French. —Both classes passed a very creditable examination. The work read is very well known. Geometry. —The work was very well done by all the classes. Of Class 111. five pupils, and of Class 11. three pupils, obtained full marks. Trigonometry. —Two pupils obtained 81, and one pupil 65 per cent, of the marks. Algebra. —Class I. answered well, four gaining full marks, and all more than 60 per cent. Class 11. answered rather unequally, half the papers being good and half inferior. The conditions of the problems were not very fully or very intelligently stated in mathematical terms by most. Class 111. did very fairly indeed, and. three of the papers were very good. In connection with the treatment of English in all the district high schools, we may point out that formal instruction in composition does not appear to be given. This is a mistake, and we would suggest by way of remedy the use of such a work as Dr. Smith's " English Composition," or Dr. Abbott's pithy little treatise, " How to write clearly." In the translation of Latin and French texts a good deal of practice in composition is secured, but considerations of purity and arrangement need more careful and systematic study.

Dunedin School of Akt. Sib,— I have the honour to submit my annual report on the School of Art for the year 1889. The total number of students who received instruction in the school during the year was 398, being fifteen less than that of last year. This total includes 107 teachers and pupil-teachers, sixty-four students in training, seventy-three students who attended the day classes, and 154 students who attended the evening classes. The school was open every day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 5.45 to 9in the evening. The morning class from 8 to 9.30 was attended by students from the School of Mines and by ladies who were otherwise employed during the day. The course of lectures and class instruction for the former included practical plane and solid geometry, and machine drawing to scale, and for the latter drawing and painting in monochrome from the antique. With students in training the course has been pursued as formerly : for the junior division, freehand and model drawing, practical geometry and perspective ; for the senior division, drawing in light and shade from the cast, and model drawing on the blackboard. As regards the senior students, T may point out that their instruction was so directed as to enable them not only to draw on a large scale, but to give them confidence when called upon to instruct a class in drawing. The pupil-teacher's work was as follows: Fourth class, freehand drawing; third class, model drawing ; second class, practical geometry ; first class, perspective. At the annual examination the number of pupil-teachers examined in the second grade amounted to 142, of whom 130 were successful—thirty-four freehand, thirty-four model, thirty-five practical geometry, twenty-seven perspective. Specimens of the ordinary class work were exhibited in the Education Court of the Exhibition. A few country pupil-teachers who could not attend the ordinary classes owing to the arrangement of the trains, consulted me on Saturdays in regard to their work. Regarding the afternoon classes for elementary and advanced drawing and painting, I have to speak of the students in terms of commendation for their productions during the year, their studies in light and shade in chalk, and in monochrome from the cast. Their fruit and flowers, painted from nature, reflect great credit upon them. The following students are worthy of mention for the excellence of their work : Misses M. Wain, M. A. Cook, B. Hodges, J. Durie, J. McLean, L. Moss, Messrs. O'Keeffe, J. Kilgour, S. Hales, and I. Webb. The evening classes were open every evening from 7 to 9 —on Mondays and Wednesdays for the study of freehand and model drawing, drawing and shading from the cast, painting in monochrome from the antique, and modelling in clay ; on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the study of practical plane and solid geometry, mechanical and architectural drawing; and on Fridays for drawing and painting from the living model. These classes still maintain their numbers ; those attending seem to fully appreciate the advantage of studying drawing either in connection with their occupation or as a source of amusement, are anxious to make the most of their time in school, and often request the loan of studies for work at home. A good deal of excellent work in connection with their occupation was turned out during the year. The Boys' and Girls' High Schools were attended as usual. The arrangement of the classes and the course of instruction have been the same as previously reported. The work done in the various classes was very good, and the progress satisfactory. I would specially mention the model drawing of the third form (Girls' School) as being the best 1 have ever seen from pupils at this stage. Specimens of the ordinary class work of eacli form were shown in the Education Court of the Exhibition. The studies produced by the students duringjthe year were not exhibited as usual, owing to the best and most interesting of them having been sent to the Education Court of the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition.

E.—l,

The School of Art has recently been thoroughly cleaned, the casts painted, and everything is now in good order and condition except a few casts which require repairing, and which will be attended to at the earliest opportunity. My assistants have performed their duties most satisfactorily, and the work of the classes has been carried on more systematically and with better results than formerly. To enable .the students attending this school to participate in some of the privileges enjoyed by those attending schools of art under the Science and Art Department, London, and to raise the standard of the work produced, I would strongly urge upon the Board the desirability of affiliating this school with the Science and Art Department. If this were done the students' works could be forwarded to London every year for examination and competition, and local examinations could be held annually under the same department. This, I feel confident, would have a beneficial effect upon the students, stimulate them to increased exertion, and raise the standard of the works produced. I hope, from the importance I attach to this recommendation, that it may meet with the warm approval and concurrence of the Board, and that no difficulty may arise to prevent members from forming themselves into a Local Art Committee to carrj7 out the regulations laid down by the department. I herewith forward Science and Art Directory, which contains all the necessary information on the subject. I may mention that the school is in every way fitted up according to the requirements necessary, and contains all the models and casts requisite, for conducting classes under the Science and Art Department.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 21st March, 1890. As required by section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit this the twelfth annual report of this Board, being for the year ended the 31st December, 1889. The Boaed.—The retiring members of the Board for the year were Messrs. George Froggatt, Thomas M. Macdonald, and John Turnbull. Of these three gentlemen, only Mr. Froggatt offered himself for re-election. In terms of the Act the usual steps were taken to fill the vacancies thus caused. Four nominations were received, and the voting resulted in the return of Dr. Hodgkinson, M.H.8., and Messrs. George Froggatt (re-elected) and James Mackintosh. It is but an act of simple justice to record here the genuine regret which was felt not only by the Board, but by School Committees throughout the education district, at the retirement of Mr. T. M. Macdonald, who had since the constitution of the Board in 1878 been one of its most active members, and for the whole of that period (eleven years) its respected Chairman. At the last meeting of the Board prior to his retirement the following resolution, the terms of which were cordially indorsed by his colleagues in office, was unanimously adopted: "The members of this Board feel it their duty to place on record an expression of their feelings of great regret that their Chairman, Mr. Thomas M. Macdonald, who has been associated with the Board's work since its institution, should have found it inconvenient to continue to render his valuable services in connection with the administration of the educational interests of this district. The Board considers that the unflagging zeal of Mr. Macdonald in the cause of national education, and his unfailing attention to the business of the Board while acting in the capacity of Chairman, has pre-eminently contributed to the judicious establishment and management of the public schools of Southland, and the members of this Board hope that his severance from work so congenial will only be temporary." A resolution expressive of the Board's high appreciation of Mr. Turnbull's services as one of its members for many years was also adopted by the Board. At the first meeting of the Board in April Mr. Alfred Baldey, who had also been a member since its constitution, was elected Chairman for the ensuing year. During the year twelve ordinary and three special meetings of the Board were held, while its Executive Committee (consisting of all the members of the Board for the time being) met twenty-nine times. The attendance of members throughout the year has been uniformly good, the average being, for meetings of the Board slightly over 8, and for the Executive 66. The individual attendances were as follows : Meetings of Board—Mr. Baldey, 15 ; Mr. Bain, 15 ; Mr. Froggatt, 15 ; Mr. Lurnsden, 14 ; Mr. McLeod, 14 ; Mr. Matheson, 13; Mr. Morison, 11; Mr. Mackintosh (nine months), 9; Dr. Hodgkinson (nine months), 8. Meetings of Executive Committee—Mr. Froggatt, 29; Mr. Baldey, 26; Mr. Lumsden, 26; Mr. Bain, 21; Mr. Matheson, 20; Mr. McLeod, 19; Mr. Mackintosh, 18; Dr. Hodgkinson, 12; Mr. Morison, 11. It should be mentioned that Dr. Hodgkinson was absent on leave for a period of three months during the session of Parliament. The annual returns, eleven in number, prepared by the Board for the Education Department, and which it is usual to priiS; annually as appendices to this report, supply full information respecting the educational interests of the district, such as attendance of pupils ; ages, and classification of scholars according to standards ; number of_ schools, and classification according to average attendance ; the number and names of teachers in the district, with their rank, position, and emoluments, &c. There therefore remains but little for the Board to report, except, perhaps, to institute

83

X—l

a comparison with former years of the progress which the district is making educationally, and to note any changes of importance which have taken place in its administration of the interests committed to its charge. School Attendance.—ln this connection there is little worthy of comment. The average attendance in several districts has been seriously affected by the prevalence of an epidemic of diphtheria in the latter part of the year. Numbers of pupils have been attacked, in some instances with fatal results. The scare induced thereby has caused a serious loss to the Board and also to the school districts and teachers more immediately concerned. It appears to the Board an unfortunate circumstance that the prevalence of an epidemic such as diphtheria should so prejudicially affect the income of any of its teachers. Since the constitution of the Board, nearly twelve years ago, the progress of the district, both with respect to the number of its schools and the average attendance thereat, has been most satisfactory. In 1878 (first quarter) there were forty-four schools in operation, with an average attendance that reached only 2,310. At the close of 1889 there were 106 schools open, with an average of 6,502 ; being an increase during this period of 181 per cent, in the numbers in actual attendance. A comparison of the past five years is instructive as showing that the regular increase of the earlier years of the Board's existence is still being maintained : — X ' i Increase over lear Averaße- Previous Year. 1885 ... ... ... . . ... ... 5,191-5 ... 589-3 1886 ...■ ... ... ... ... ... 5,578-5 ... 387-0 1887 ... ... ... ... ... ... 5,894-2 ... 315-7 1888 ... ... ... ... ... ... 6,083-0 ... 188-8 1889 ... ... ... ... ... ... 6,502-0 ... 419-0 These figures indicate an average annual rate of increase for this period of 380 pupils in average attendance. The percentage of average to roll number in 1888 was 7.6"8, while for 1889 it has risen to 78-6, a most satisfactory increase, indicating as it does a more regular attendance of pupils. Numbbe of Schools. — During the year new schools have been established in the, districts of Oteramika Gorge, Waikana (opened as a half-time school in conjunction with that already established at Wairekiki), and Greenhills. The number of schools, therefore, in active operation at the end of the year was 106, eight of which are worked on the half-time principle. The additional responsibility incurred in opening new schools is not undertaken by this Board without due and careful consideration; yet in a district such as Southland, where settlement in remote places is still progressing, it is scarcely possible to resist the claims of settlers anxious for the educational welfare of their families. In many instances the establishment of schools has been sanctioned on the distinct understanding that the petitioners should provide at their own cost a temporary building in which for a time the work of teaching might be carried on. The adoption of this plan in cases where there is any reasonable doubt about the matter enables the Board to prove the permanency or otherwise of the settlement ere undertaking the expense of erecting a suitable school building. In the past such temporary expedients have always resulted in the establishment of permanent schools. The prospective difficulty of providing the funds necessary to satisfy claims of this nature, in addition to the ordinary current expenditure for extensions, renewals, and repairs to existing buildings, is a very serious one. It is to be hoped, however, that a much-required increase in the annual vote for school buildings will in the future enable the Board to meet all due demands. Departmental Return No. 3, which it is not thought necessary to reprint here, gives the classification of the various schools throughout the district according to the attendance at each. Teaching Staff. —There were in the service of the Board at the end of the year 187 teachers of all grades—viz., 103 males and 84 females. These are classified, according to the positions held, as follows :— Hale. Female. Total. Principal ... ... ... . . 13 ... 0 ... 13 Head of department ... ... ... 0 ... 13 ... 13 Head of school ... ... ... 25 ... 0 ... 25 Sole teacher ... ... ... 48 .-,. 18 ... G4 Assistant ... ... ... ... 8 ... 13 ... 21 Pupil-teacher ... ... ... 9 ... 40 ... 49 Sewing teacher ... ... ... 0 ... 2 ... 2 Totals ... ... ... 103 ... 84 ... 187 It will be seen from these figures that boys do not exhibit the same anxiety to enter the profession in the capacity of pupil-teachers as is displayed by girls, the relative numbers of those at present in the. service of this Board being as 1 to 4-J-. The proportion of certificated to uncertincated teachers, as was noted in last year's report, is still increasing, and ere long the Board hopes that it will not be necessary to employ any but those who have passed the requisite examination, and are, so far as this test alone is concerned, fully qualified to undertake the responsible duties of teacher. This satisfactory feature is attributable, in part at least, to the Board's action early in the year in intimating to all uncertificated teachers in its service that they must make an effort to secure classification, otherwise they would be liable to lose their appointments. Under the exercise of this mild form of compulsion, members presented themselves at last teachers' examination who had not hitherto deemed it their duty or found it convenient to do so. Scholarships.—At the examination for scholarships held in June last thirty-two candidates presented themselves. The percentage of marks obtained by a majority of these gives evidence of careful and systematic training on the part of the teachers concerned, as well as of unusual ability on the part of the candidates themselves. So far as this district is concerned, the expenditure in-

84

85

X.—l

curved by -the Government in respect of scholarships is, in the opinion of the Board, amply justified. As a result of this examination, two scholarships, each of the annual value of £35, and a similar number of the value of £20 per annum, and tenable for a period of three years, were awarded. As provided for in the regulations, five additional scholarships, of the value of £20 each, but tenable for one year only, were also awarded to the candidates who stood next on the list. The sum paid to the scholarship holders whose names were on the books of the Board during the year amounted to £446 7s. 4d. During the year, but subsequent to the date of the examination before referred to, the Board amended its scholarship regulations in several important particulars : 1. The maximum age at which candidates are permitted to present themselves was raised from fourteen to fifteen years. 2. The programme of study, which was previously identical with that prescribed for Standard V. in our publicschool course, was raised so as to be equivalent to Standard VI. By the introduction of these changes a greater number of intending candidates will now be enabled to complete the ordinary standard curriculum, and thereafter, if successful in obtaining a scholarship, pursue their studies at the secondary school prescribed in the regulations. Pupil-teachebs.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers took place, as in former years, in the month of June. The following is a tabulated list, snowing the numbers of examinees who presented themselves in each of the various classes :— Presented. Passed. Failed. Class I. ... ... ... ... 13 ... 12 ... 1. „ 11. ... ... ... ... 14 ... 12 ... 2 „ HI. ... ... ... ... G ... 6 ... 0 „ IV. ... ... ... ... 2 ... 2 ... 0 Totals ... ... ... 35 ... 32 ... 3 In addition to the foregoing, all of whom are in the.service of the Board, there were present at the examination twenty-five candidates for future vacancies in this branch of the service. Of these latter, seventeen passed, while the remainder failed to satisfy the requirements of the examiners. These results go to show that, on the whole, pupil-teachers in this district are receiving careful tuition in the various subjects set forth in the syllabus of instruction. Of those who have passed the firstclass examination in previous years, a number have been promoted to positions as assistants in large, or head teachers in small, schools throughout the district, where they give evidence of future success in the profession. The regulations which have done duty for the past six years were subjected to a thorough revision during the year, and several important alterations made. These, as amended, were printed and distributed in December, and came into operation on the Ist January, 1890. The following is perhaps worthy of special notice : For the purposes of instruction the regulations provide that in the Town of Invercargill the pupil-teachers shall attend at one central school for one hour each day in the week (Saturdays included), and there be instructed by the head teachers in turn, the order and sequence of the work being arranged by mutual agreement. Accounts of School Committees.—These, as heretofore, continue to be methodically and carefully kept, except in a few isolated instances. The scale of allowances to School Committees for incidental expenses was revised during the year, and the sum hitherto paid increased by 10 per cent. This alteration in the scale places Committees on the same footing as they were prior to the retrenchment reduction of the previous year. The grants paid by the Board to School Committees for the year amounted to —(1) for incidental expenses, £1,441 19s. 6d.; (2) for special purposes, £346 lls. 3d.; making a total of £1,788 10s. 9d.; the first-mentioned amount being equivalent to about 4s. sd. per head on the average attendance for the year. The Board reports with pleasure that Committees throughout the district raised locally a sum of £754 during the year to supplement the moneys received as above. The total income of Committees from all sources was £3,106 19s. 4-Jd. The summary of School Committees' accounts (Eetum No. 10), compiled from the duly-audited abstracts sent in by each Committee in the district, shows accurately how this sum was expended. The Board is of opinion that School Committees as a whole exercise due care in preserving and improving the appearance of the property under their control; and expend the funds intrusted to them with care and discretion.. Buildings. —Throughout the year just ended the Board has, as usual, been somewhat restricted in its expenditure on school buildings, the obvious reason being want of funds sufficient to meet the requirements of the district. It has, however, expended a stun of £1,300 9s. lOd. on new buildings and additions, £772 7s. 9d. on repairs and improvements to those already in existence, and £164 in furniture and appliances. The principal works carried out in the course of the year have been the erection of new schools at Balfour, Waimatuku, Oteramika Gorge, Wairekiki, and Waikana; while very necessary additions have been made to the schools at Invercargill South, Invercargill Park, One-Tree Point, and Orepuki. New residences have also been built at Otara and North Wairio. On the sth July last the school building at North Invercargill, consisting of three well-built rooms, was totally destroyed by fire, together with most of the furniture and apparatus. An inquiry as to its origin failed to elicit any reliable information to show how the disaster occurred. With the concurrence of the Government., a contract was entered into for its re-erection. The sum set down as the value of the building destroyed was, however, found insufficient to meet the cost of a new structure of similar dimensions, and the Board was therefore compelled to undertake the erection of a smaller building, containing only two instead of three rooms. This, however, it is thought, will meet the requirements of the district for some little time to come. A claim for the sum promised by Government Tvill be made very shortly. In no less than twenty-four school districts the teachers are as yet unprovided with residences, while in six districts the buildings used for school purposes are not the property of the Board. Seeing that the Board has to make provision for the renewal, maintenance, and improvement of nearly two hundred buildings (schools and residences) under its control, it is easy to understand

E.—l

86

that an annual grant of something under £1,500 is entirely inadequate to meet current outlay and provide, as must be done, for an ever-increasing demand for the establishment of schools in newlysettled districts. During 1889 more than double the amount received was expended on the works referred to in the preceding paragraph. Inspection of Schools. —At the commencement of the year the Board resolved to appoint an Assistant Inspector of Schools, the experience of past years having proved conclusively that the work of examining and inspecting such a large number of schools and pupils was too onerous for one Inspector to overtake. Applications for the office were invited by advertisement. After a careful scrutiny of the qualifications of the respective candidates (twenty-one in number) the Board unanimously resolved to appoint Mr. George D. Braik, M.A., to the vacancy. Mr. Braik accepted office, and commenced his duties in April. Nearly all the schools in the district have been examined, and two-thirds of them inspected, in terms of the department's regulations issued by Order in Council. The annual report of the Board's Inspectors, copy of which is transmitted herewith, supplies all requisite information regarding the condition of education generally throughout the district. Detailed statistical information concerning (1) the numbers of pupils presented in the various standards, (2) the numbers who passed and failed, and (3) the percentages gained in "pass," " class," and " additional " subjects in the several schools examined, is given in the appendix to the Inspector's report. Eegulations of the Board. —The process of revising the Board's regulations was commenced in April last, and during the following six months occupied the unremitting attention of a special committee appointed for the purpose, as well as the earnest consideration of the Board itself. The entire code of regulations came under review, and to each separate set numerous amendments or alterations were made ; indeed, in some instances the regulations previously In force were entirely remodelled. This last remark is more particularly applicable to the regulations affecting pupilteachers. The scale of teachers' salaries was also recast, it being found that the former scale, with a percentage reduction applied, did not operate at all fairly in its application to certain grades of schools. Valuable memoranda for teachers respecting the introduction of suitable lessons in " physical exercises and singing " have been added to the regulations. This addition, it is expected, will be the means of inducing many teachers to give greater prominence than has hitherto been bestowed to these very essential adjuncts to the common-school course. Financial.—The income of the Board from all sources for the year ended the 31st December last, including credit balance at the commencement of the year, was £28,241 18s. Id., made up principally as follows: Statutory capitation grant, £21,043 6s. 2d.; payments by School Commissioners of Otago, £2,753 ss. Id.; scholarship grant, £571 6s. 9d.; inspection subsidy, £300; building grant, £489 7s. 6d. (£978 155., as first instalment of this grant, being paid at the close of 1888, and included in that year's accounts). These, with several smaller payments from other sources, constituted the Board's revenue, as above stated. The Board's balance-sheet, duly certified to by the Auditor-General, shows in the aggregate how this amount has been expended. A sum of £20,099 os. 7d. has been paid as salaries and allowances to teachers ; £1,439 7s. 6d. to Committees for incidental expenses ; and £2,949 6s. sd. for new buildings, repairs, appliances, &c. A reference to Departmental Eeturn No. 7 will show in detail the school district and purpose to and for which such sums have been granted by the Board. The financial condition of the Board, so far as its Maintenance Fund is concerned, is satisfactory, but with reference to the Building Fund the reverse is the case. On the latter there is a debit balance of £1,272 9s. 9d., which, with an amount of £260 16s. due or to fall due under contracts as on the 31st December, makes a deficit of £1,533 ss. 9d. Against this has to be placed the annual grant due by Government for buildings, and a sum of £385 due for reinstatement of North Invercargill school building —a total of £1,853 2s. 6d. ; thus leaving a credit balance of only £319 6s. 9d. wherewith to carry on the current year's operations—a sum scarcely sufficient to provide for six weeks' ordinary expenditure. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Neill, Secretary.

REPORTS "OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

AUCKLAND. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Aucklaud, 31st March, 1890. I have the honour to forward the following brief statement of the proceedings of the Commissioners for the year 1889 : — The reserves let were — £ s. d. 4 sections timber land, 36 acres, realising ... ... 68 0 1 a year. 1 „ pastoral land, 5,140 acres, realising ... 64 5 0 „ 6 „ town land, 7-J acres, realising ... ... 16 10 0 „ 18 „ rural and suburban land, 1,160 acres, realising 158 13 0 „ Six of the last-named are sections re-let —one after expiry of previous lease, and five after re-entry for non-payment of rent. The audited statement of accounts enclosed herewith shows a considerable increase in amount of rent collected over that of 1888. No doubt this was due to the improvement in farming interests in this district last year. The Commissioners have, nevertheless, had to write off £166 11s. as rent unrecoverable. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wm. P. Moat, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sik, — 16, Queen's Chambers, Wellington, 7th March, 1890. On behalf of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District, I have the honour to present, for the information of His Excellency the Governor and the Government, the eleventh annual report of their administration of education reserves, being that for the year ended the 31st December, 1889. In the early part of the year the Commissioners held their first sale under the provisions of "The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887,'' when 2,378 acres were disposed of at an average annual rental of Is. 2-Jd. per acre. Subsequently 611 acres were taken up, which increased the area disposed of to 2,989 acres, producing an average annual rental of Is. 5Jd. per acre. The second series of sales under the provisions of the same Act has just concluded, and the result shows 28.rural and suburban sections disposed of on lease, representing an area of 3,636 acres 1 rood 8 perches, at an average annual rental of Is. BJd. per acre. In addition to this, two small sections were sold (also under lease) for £3 per annum each, being town sections (of 23-J- perches each) in the Town of Palmerston North—thus augmenting the annual revenue by £312 Bs. 7d., which, subject to small allowances in a few instances, will come into the accounts for the current year (1890). The Commissioners regret that no portion of these moneys can be applied to the purposes of secondary education. Time after time, for many years past, the Commissioners have endeavoured to show the necessity for setting aside endowments for secondary education in the Wellington Provincial District, but without any result. In their .last report (1888) they strongly represented this necessity ; and they once more respectfully request? the Government to take advantage of the law as it stands, and set aside the much-needed endowments in support of secondary institutions within this district. 12— E. i.

The Commissioners desire to draw attention to the state of their finances for 1889, as compared with that of previous years. For some two or three years past the balance at the close of the year has been small, and the arrears of rent out of proportion to the receipts. The Commissioners have now the satisfaction of reporting an improvement in these respects, for, whereas on the 31st December, 1888, the cash balance was £371 9s. 2d., and arrears £487 Is. 8(1., the balance on the 31st December, 1889, was £841 Bs. Bd., and arrears only £209 19s. lOd. While the Commissioners recognise that this satisfactory position is partly owing to the reduced cost of administration, they recognise also the greater regularity of payment of rents by the lessees, and, as a result of these combined influences, they are enabled to pay the sum of £1,200 to the Education Boards, apportioned under the 21st section of "The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," being by far the largest sum available for this purpose at any time during the administration of the School Commissioners. A copy of the general statement of receipts and expenditure for the year ended the 31st December, 1889, is appended hereto. I have, &c, J. E. Blair, Chairman of Commissioners. The Hon. the Minister of Education.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 17th April, 1890. In compliance with your circular of the 18th December last, I have the honour to report as follows for the past year:— During the year 8,656 acres of rural bush lands were leased. This area is divided into seventeen sections, ranging from 42 acres to 1,436 acres; is let for twenty-one years, with right of renewal, at present annual rentals amounting to £408 os. 6d.; and, with one exception, such rentals do not increase for the twenty-one years. Of the above area, 8,331 acres had not been leased previously. The balance of 325 acres had been leased, in two lots, prior to the period under review : the lease of one lot, 283 acres, had been declared forfeited for non-payment of rent; and in the other case a surrender of the lease, 42 acres, was accepted after very careful inquiry into the circumstances in connection therewith. In addition to the rural lands, four town allotments were leased during the year at a present annual rental of £243 ss. Two of the allotments had previously been in occupation under lease for twenty-one years, at rentals aggregating £37 6s. 6d. per annum. Under the new leases the two lots are let at £240 ss. per annum for the present, or an immediate increase of £202 18s. 6d. Enclosed is a copy of the general statement of receipts and expenditure for the past year, which has been examined and certified as correct by the Controller and Auditor-General. On comparison of the general statement of receipts and expenditure above referred to with that for the previous year it will be seen that the revenue for the year under review exceeded that for the year 1888 by £909 19s. 9d. This increase is more satisfactory from the fact that it was not caused by extraordinary revenue, as the statement shows that the rents actually received for the year — i.e., those which were payable and received for the year—exceed the rents received for the previous year by £815 4s. lid. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. G. W. Williams, Chairman.

CANTBEBUEY. Sir, — Christchurch, 6th January, 1890. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th December, 1878, and in terms of circular from the Education Department, dated the 18th of December last, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ended the 31st December, 1889, together with a copy of their accounts, duly audited. The total area of the primary-education estate under lease on the 31st of December, 1889, is 44,514^- acres, producing an annual rental of £15,635 3s. 4d. There are now 686f acres of the estate unlet: of this, 640 acres is contained in a reserve the lease of which fell in, and it is being withheld until the Government re-let the " Blackford Bun," with which it is an important adjunct; and the remaining 46f acres consists of sandhill and shingly plain, and is comparatively valueless. The fixed deposit of £100, which matured on the 21st of December, 1889, has been redeposited for one year ; and a further sum of £81 11s. sd. was deposited at the same time and for the same period, it being deemed inexpedient at present to purchase land, for which purpose only are these sums available. The interest when received will be added to the primary estate as revenue. During the past year twenty reserves have been re-let for fourteen years. Of these, two were let by arbitration under clause 245 of " The Land Act, 1885 ; " twelve (small ones) by tender ; and six (large ones, containing in all 4,408 acres), after subdivision into twenty-six farms, by tender—with the result that twenty-two tenants were obtained where formerly only five occupied, and an addition to the rental of £581 2s. 4d. per annum. During the year 1890 the leases of six reserves fall in which are only fitted for pastoral purposes. One small one will be re-let, by arbitration, to a tenant who is living on same with a large family ; and the others will be let by tender, and it is certain some loss of revenue will ensue upon the re-letting of same, as two of these are at present bringing rents far above their value. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. * H. E. Webb, Chairman.

Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Dunedin, 27th May, 1890. In accordance with Order in Council of date the 17th December, 1878, and in terms of your circular from the Education Department dated the 18th December last, I have the honour to forward the following report of the School Commissioners of the Otago Provincial District for the year ended the 31st December, 1889 : — I have to report that during the year the Commissioners leased forty-four agricultural sections, containing 3,319 acres, at £578 16s. 2d. per annum; twenty-five suburban sections, containing 58 acres, at £38 175.; fifty-six town sections, containing 1 rood each, at £69 10s.; and sixteen pastoral sections, containing 2,113 acres, at £92 15s. lOd. Nearly the whole of the agricultural and suburban sections had been leased previously, and the new rents in most cases show an increase. During the year the Land Department, on behalf of the School Commissioners, issued perpetual leases of eight sections, containing 2,380 acres, at a total annual rental of £123 15s. 6d. I am pleased to report that, since the appointment of an Inspector, who commenced his duties at'the beginning of the year, the Commissioners have been enabled to take a more comprehensive management of the reserves in the Southland District, and they have succeeded in effecting a settlement of several long-outstanding arrears of rent. They have also been enabled to deal with all descriptions of applications with a better knowledge of the merits of each case. Understanding that representations have been made to the Government that, while the Land Boards have dealt fairly and' liberally with deferred-payment selectors and perpetual lessees in reducing the price of their lands, the School Commissioners have given no consideration to the occupants of lands under their control, who have purchased their sections for cash, but, on the contrary, have acted harshly and unfairly to them in refusing to reduce the capital value of their holdings, I now take this opportunity of bringing the whole of the facts under your notice, with a view to justify the School Commissioners' management. As stated in the Commissioners' report of their proceedings during the year 1888, petitions were received from the mortgagors of education reserves originally purchased for cash from the Land Department, for reductions in the unpaid balances, and, in response to those petitions, the School Commissioners offered certain concessions to the petitioners, in the shape of reduction in the rate of interest; but the concessions referred to were not considered sufficiently liberal by the majority of the petitioners, and hence their complaints against the Commissioners' management. In order to explain fully the position of the petitioners, it is necessary to inform you as to the exact terms upon which they hold their lands from the School Commissioners. These lands were originally part of the education endowment, and were sold to the petitioners for cash by the Crown Lands Department, on behalf of the School Commissioners, in terms of the Land Acts of 1882 and 1885. A deposit of 25 per cent, was required to be paid at the sale, the balance being payable within one month therefrom to the Receiver of Land Revenue, the amount of purchasemoney, after deduction of ss. per acre for cost of survey, sale, &c, being then handed over to the School Commissioners by that officer, and the title issuing to the purchaser from the Commissioner of Crown Lands. In order to enable intending purchasers to pay for the land, as well as to secure an investment for the proceeds of sales, the School Commissioners, prior to the sale of the land, advertised that they were prepared to advance two-thirds of the purchase-money on mortgage at 6 per cent, interest, for a term of five years. The petitioners elected to take advantage of this offer, and they paid to the Receiver of Land Revenue the difference between their deposit (one-fourth of purchase-money) which they paid at the sale and the margin of one-third required by the Commissioners. The School Commissioners thereupon paid the other two-thirds to the Receiver, and took mortgages from the purchasers to secure its repayment. It will thus be seen that the petitioners are in quite a different position from deferred-payment selectors or perpetual lessees—in fact, that they are the same as ordinary borrowers. The cash sections were interspersed with perpetuallease and deferred-payment sections (also part of the education endowment), which were sold by the Land Department at the same time, on behalf of the School Commissioners. The Land Department has, in terms of " The Selectors' Lands Revaluation Act, 1889," made large reductions in the price of these deferred-payment and perpetual-lease sections, and the petitioners naturally feel aggrieved that their neighbours should obtain their land on better terms than themselves. The School Commissioners, as already stated, having received a petition from cash purchasers for a reduction in the price of their sections, and being of opinion that in the majority of cases there was a certain amount of hardship in one class of occupiers having to pay more than others, decided to offer to reduce the rate of interest on the mortgages to all cash purchasers from 6 to 4

per cent, from the commencement of their loans, and also to renew the loans at the end of the five years for an additional term of seven years at the same low rate, this being equal to a cash reduction of about one-fourth of the purchase-money. It was considered unwise, in view of the fact that a number of cash purchasers had paid the whole of the purchase-money on the date of sale, to make any reduction in price to those who had not completed their purchases, and the reduction of interest_to such a low rate as 4 per cent, was considered a very fair concession and relief. Those of the petitioners whose interest had been paid regularly were entitled to and received credit for a considerable time in advance on account of the 2-per-cent. reduction; but others were so far in arrear that the reduction did not nearly clear off their arrears of interest. The Commissioners have reason to believe that the most of the petitioners would have been satisfied with the concession offered had not one or two agitators induced them to take concerted action with a view of obtaining a reduction in the price of the land. The result of this agitation was that a petition was sent to the School Commissioners asking for a revaluation of the land. In order to satisfy themselves as to its actual value, and to have the matter definitely settled, the School Commissioners appointed two of their number—viz., Messrs. J. Walker Bain and James Green —a committee to personally inspect each holding. Both of those gentlemen have a practical knowledge of the value and capabilities of land, and they were accompanied by Mr. J. L. McDonald, the Commissioners' agent for Southland, who is also an experienced valuer. The committee spent nearly a week during December last in visiting the petitioners' sections and investigating the circumstances of each case. The following figures give the result of the committee's valuations of the sections over which the School Commissioners hold mortgages :—

After a careful consideration of the committee's report, which was most exhaustive and comprehensive, the Commissioners decided to offer the mortgagors a reduction on the basis of the foregoing valuation, the existing mortgages of those who should elect to take advantage of the reduction to be cancelled, and new mortgage-deeds to be signed for the reduced amounts, the term of the new loans being for a period of seven years, and the rate of interest 6 per cent.; interest to be charged at 6 per cent, on the original mortgage amount until the exchange shall be completed. The amount of the new loans would thus be the price of the land at the reduced rate, less payments already made. The cost of the new mortgages was fixed at the low figure of £1 11s. 6d. each, exclusive of charges such as registration, &c. A circular was sent to each cash purchaser or mortgagor whose section was valued under cost-price, giving him the option of determining whether he would accept the reduction in the amount of mortgage or remain under the existing arrangement of paying 4 per cent, interest on original amount; but so far only two have accepted the offer. A number of the mortgagors no doubt find, on calculation, that the reduction in interest is a greater concession than the reduction of principal, while the interest of others is so much in arrear that were it raised to the rate of 6 per cent, it would be impossible for them to take advantage of the reduced amount of principal by paying up interest to date. The School Commissioners have devoted a great deal of time and trouble to the consideration of the circumstances of the cash purchasers on terms, or, more correctly speaking, mortgagors, and have been actuated throughout by a desire to assist them as much as possible. At the same time they consider that they would not be justified in reducing the price of the land to a lower figure than what they now value it at. In dealing with this question they have always felt a difficulty in regard to those who have paid up their purchase-money in full, and who may possibly make a claim for the refund of part of what they have paid, even though the School Commissioners have no power to make such a refund. In adopting the before-mentioned resolution, the School Commissioners

resolved that their decision on the subject of reducing the amount owing by the cash purchasers on terms should be final, and they have accordingly declined to consider any further applications for reductions. The foregoing explanation is perhaps somewhat long and minute ; but, as a charge of dealing harshly with the settlers has been brought against the School Commissioners, it is desirable that the whole matter should be fully explained to the Government. In June, 1889, the Commissioners, having satisfied themselves that there was a demand for land in the district, decided to terminate the lease of Bun 193 a, Wendon, containing 10,000 acres, and to subdivide it into farms of about five hundred acres each, suitable for mixed farming. They accordingly gave the lessee twelve months' notice, as provided for in his lease, and have since had the land subdivided into sections with a view to offering them for fourteen years' lease in June next. Of the sum of £6,075 os. 4d. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as rent, &c, in arrear on the 31st December, 1889, £1,793 os. 6d. has been paid during the first quarter of the present year. As I have explained in former reports, all the rents are debited in advance, and a. number of them only fall due in December. In connection with the sum of £1,479 16s. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as expenses of management, &c, I may explain that £233 7s. 6d. was paid to the Government for railway-fares, rabbit-destruction, Crown-grant fees, stamps, &c, and that £191 3s. Bd. was paid for rates to County Councils, boroughs, and Bivor Boards. I may also say that £78 7s. 3d. was received during the year for preparing leases, which sum might fairly be deducted from the cost of management. The balance-sheet and statement of receipts and expenditure, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General, was forwarded to the Education Department on the 9th ultimo.
