Sess. 11.—1891. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lobd,— Wellington, 12th June, 1891. 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, 1890. I have, &c, W. P. REEVES. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Onslow^ Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT. Public Schools. For the year 1890 the increase in the number of children attending the primary schools was unusually small, —smaller than for any other year since 1881. The mean of the average attendances of the four quarters is 94,632, which exceeds the mean for 1889 by only 1,258. The average of the weekly rollnumber for the year is 118,392; in 1889 this average was 116,211. The attendance for the year fell below the estimate for the year so far as to make a difference of nearly £9,000 to the expenditure of the year. The following table

(A) exhibits the progress and fluctuations of public-school attendance from the date of the passing of the Education Act:—

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1890.

The principal statistics of attendance for the several education districts are contained in Table B. In Otago there is an actual decline of 230 in the average attendance, on which the capitation grant depends; and there is a decrease of 4 in Nelson, and 38 in Westland. The average attendance for the year has been at the rate of 79-9 out of every hundred on the roll, the mean of the weekly roll-numbers being taken as the basis of computation. The rate has never been higher than this—for the whole of New Zealand—except in the year 1889, when it was 80-3. Otago keeps its place of pre-eminence with respect to regularity of attendance, its percentage being 84T ; Taranaki (72-3) and Wanganui (73*8) standing at the other end of the scale.

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1890.

The number of Maori and half-caste children in attendance at.public schools at the end of the year was 1,165, as shown in the following statement. This statement has nothing to do with the children (2,259) in attendance at the Native schools.

The number of boys on the public school rolls is, as usual, greater than the number of girls, the proportion being exactly the same as it was in 1889. Out of every 1,000 pupils, 516 are boys and 484 are girls. With respect to the ages of the pupils, the distinctions made in the statistics of former years followed the lines indicated in the Education Act, which sets the limits of school age at five years and fifteen years, and of the age of compulsory attendance at seven and thirteen. The statistics for 1890, which are set forth in full in Table No. lin the Appendix (p. 1), are more precise, and show the number of pupils of each year, with respect to age, from five to fifteen. Beginning with children between five and six years old, they show that the proportion of such children to the whole number of the pupils on the roll in December was 7'3 per cent. The percentages for the succeeding years in their order are 10*7, ITB, ITB, 12, 12-2, 11-1, 9'9, 7-2, and 4-1; and the percentage of pupils above the age of fifteen is 1-9. Table Cis a summary of the information contained in Table No. 1.

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1890.

It will be observed that the years of age to which the four highest numbers belong—each of these numbers being about 12 per cent, of the total number—are the years from seven to eleven ; that the two years with the next highest numbers are the years 11-12 and 6-7, with about 11 per cent, each; and. that next to these is the year 12-13, with about 10 per cent. The numbers for the years 5-6 and 13-14 are nearly equal, about 7 per cent. each. Only 6 per cent, of the pupils are above the age of fourteen, and less than onethird of these have passed their fifteenth birthday. There appears to be a decided tendency to a diminution of the proportion of children under the age of ten, the corresponding increase in the proportion of older children showing itself principally in the number of pupils between ten and thirteen, and slightly in the number between thirteen and fifteen, while the number above the age of fifteen shows a tendency to decline. It is satisfactory to observe that the proportion of pupils that have passed the Third Standard, or standards above the Third, is steadily increasing. It may

be ascertained from the following table that this proportion at the end of the year was 28-8 per cent, of the total number of pupils. In 1886 the proportion was 23*8, and in the three following years 25-9, 26-8, and 27-4. About 2 per cent.-remain in the schools after passing the Sixth Standard, about 7 per cent, have passed the Fifth, and about 16 per cent, have passed the Fourth. The proportion of children that have not yet passed the First Standard, though gradually decreasing, is still very high—42J per cent. The statistics of classification, which are condensed in Table D, will be found in detail in Table No. 2 in the Appendix (p. 2).

TABLE D. —Classification by Standards, December, 1890.

There is no material change in the ages at which on an average the pupils pass the several standards ; the average is one month below that of the year 1889, and identical with that of 1888. The lowest average last year occurred in Wellington, and it is noticeable that all the inspection statistics for "Wellington for 1890 represent better results than those of any other district. The expectation entertained when the standard regulations were made was that children of ordinary ability would pass the Third Standard at the age of ten, and the Sixth at the age of thirteen. The tables show that on an average the Third Standard is passed at eleven years and four months, and the Sixth at fourteen years and one month. The details are exhibited in Table E.

TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1890.

The absence of inspection statistics for 1890 for the Marlborough District is unfortunate ; it affects Tables E, F, and G, and the computation usually made from a comparison of Tables D and G. It arises from a change of Inspectors in the district, and from the abandonment by the new Inspector of the practice of including in the returns of a calendar year the results of inspections made in the first quarter of a subsequent year. The chief effect of the omission is to render it impossible to compute the probable number of children actually withdrawn from the schools during the year. A casual inspection of Table B might lead one to suppose that more than 38,500 had left during the year; there

is every reason to believe that the actual number is about 13,000, and that the difference is to be accounted for by removals from one school to another, and by temporary absences long enough to lead to the removal of names from the schoolrolls, and the restoration of the names when the absentees resume their attendance. The reports in which the Inspectors state the number of passes and failures, and assign marks to indicate their judgment with respect to the efficiency of instruction given in the subjects in which individual "pass" is not required, afford evidence of decided progress. Of the pupils on the roll, 49-21 passed one standard each in 1890; in 1889 the percentage was 48-45, and in 1888 it was 47-15. The percentage of failures was 17-14 in 1890, against 17-45 in 1889, and 19-5 in 1888. The percentage of efficiency in class-subjects rose from 49-6 in 1888, and 52-1 in 1889, to 54-3 in 1890; and the mean of the additional marks from 49 in 1888, and 49-8 in 1889, to 51-9 in 1890. Table Fis a general summary of the results of inspection.

TABLE F.—Inspection Statistics.

In the next Table (Q) an analysis of the inspection returns is given in such a form as to show success and failure with respect to the several standards. The percentage of failures computed from this table in the manner prescribed in the regulations is highest in Standard V. and lowest in Standard I. : for the several standards, beginning with Standard 1., it is 7-45, 11*58, 21-49, 24-90, 29-08, 21-15.

TABLE G.—Passes and Failures.

Table H shows that there are still some pupils who are learning nothing but reading; to such children attendance at school must be very uninteresting and irksome, and probably it is doing them positive harm, In most districts the

youngest pupils are learning to write, and are receiving elementary instruction in the use of numbers. It is much to be regretted that of the girls there are more than 11,000 that do not learn needlework —although these are probably the very young ones.

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

There was a large increase in the number of schools during the year. Eleven schools were finally closed, but fifty-six new ones were opened, and the number in operation at the end of the year was 1,200. This extension of operations has been attended by a slight reduction in the number of pupils per school—from 81-7 to 80-6, reckoning by average attendance. In 1889 there was a slight diminution of the number of schools with an average attendance of less than 50 each; in 1890 the number of such schools increased from 693 to 741. The number of schools with more than 50 each declined from 462 to 459. There is a large increase—from 113 to 148—in the number of schools described as " subsidised." The classification of schools according to their size is shown in Table J.

TABLE J.—Number of Schools, December, 1890. (In this enumeration every couple of half-time schools is reckoned as one school, except in the column for number of such schools.)

Exclusive of sewing-mistresses (of whom there are two less than there were a year ago), there were 2,970 teachers and pupil-teachers engaged at the end of the year. The number given in Table K is 2,978, four casual vacancies being taken into account in order to show the normal provision made for the instruction

this account from the regular monthly payments of the capitation allowance : this is merely a matter of account, and was adjusted in due course. In addition to capitation the Boards received for purposes of maintenance about £1,530 from local sources, and, from Government, subsidies amounting to £4,000 for inspection. The year's income for maintenance, in the strict sense —that is, for salaries, training, administration, inspection, and grants to Committees —was more than £358,000. The expenditure on maintenance, in this sense, was only about £350,500, as may be ascertained by adding together the first four items of expenditure in Table N, while the aggregate of balances of cash, as may be seen by reference to the same table, was diminished by about £5,500. The expenditure on maintenance for the year fairly represents the actual cost of maintenance, for the liabilities outstanding on account of maintenance at the end of the year (£11,978) differs by a very small amount from the liabilities (£12,242) at the beginning of the year. There appears, then, to have been a real saving of between £7,000 and £8,000 on maintenance, and this saving, together with the diminution of the cash balances, has enabled the Boards to spend on school buildings between £11,000 and £12,000 more than was granted to them specially for that use. At the same time they increased their liabilities on contracts for school buildings by about £3,500. The Wanganui Board has transferred the sum of £3,500 from its Maintenance Account to its Building Account, and the Southland Board has made a similar transfer of £1,000. In several other cases the Building Account is overdrawn, while the balance on Maintenance Account is large enough to cover this deficiency and leave a margin. In Tables O and P the money assets and liabilities of the Boards at the end of the year are shown. In the preparation of this statement the sum of £34,093, distributed in the first quarter of 1891 in grants for buildings, has been included in the assets. The total of the amounts set down in Table O as due from Government is about £7,000 less than the sum just mentioned, because some of the Boards held money to that amount which they had received from School Commissioners. The outstanding liabilities of the Boards on account of buildings in progress amounted to more than £19,000, and the difference between this sum and the money lately distributed in building grants is about £15,000. Some of the Boards have a part of this money in hand (£9,850 in the aggregate) to meet the new necessities of the current year; but in some cases the grant was not sufficient to cover liabilities under contract, and to repay money that had been practically borrowed from the ordinary fund and applied to buildings. In the case of Otago the Building Eund will be nearly £3,000 in debt to the Maintenance Eund when the outstanding liabilities underbuilding contracts are discharged; in Auckland there is a deficiency of the same kind amounting to £1,850, and in Marlborough one of £156. Wellington requires £5,237 to balance its Building Account; but this is not an ordinary case, as the deficiency is due to a contract for about £6,000 for erecting a technical school.

TABLE P.—Money Liabilities (and Balances), December, 1890.

Efforts have been made to ascertain the real wants of the several districts with respect to school buildings, and to get such information as would render it possible to distinguish between the necessities that are really pressing and others that are less urgent. In reply to a circular issued in February, the Boards have sent in estimates amounting to about £S)0*,000, but in some cases' the required distinctions with respect to degrees of urgency are not clearly made, and further correspondence must take place before a general statement of a satisfactory kind can be prepared. The following table (Q), compiled from the annual returns made by the Boards, affords information with respect to deficiencies of accommodation in places where schools are already established: —

TABLE Q. —Deficiency of School Buildings.

It will be seen that, apart from the prospect of new settlement, much remains to be done to put existing schools upon a satisfactory footing. There are 73 overcrowded schools, 71 schools meeting in rooms that are not public property, and 329 schools to which masters' residences are not attached. Schools with average attendance below 10 are not reckoned in this statement. The sum voted for public-school buildings last year was ,£35,000, and distribution was made to the Boards as follows : Auckland, £6,100; Taranaki, £700 ; Wanganui, £2,300 ; Wellington, £3,000 ; Hawke's Bay, £2,850 ; Marlborough, £700; Nelson, £2,200; Grey, £890; Westland, £603; North Canterbury, £5,050; South Canterbury, £1,800; Otago, £5,500; Southland, £2,400. In this distribution some favour was shown to the smallest districts, and to districts in which settlement is making rapid progress. The number of scholarships granted by Educations Boards under the 51st section of " The Education Act, 1877," and the expenditure on this account, have slightly declined during the year. The scholarships vary in annual value from £52 10s. to £4. Particulars are given in Table B.

The provision made allows one teacher for an average attendance of 33, the precise number being 32-B—to be compared with 32-6 for the year 1889. The increase in the number of teachers is 84; and the tendency to favour the employment of women as teachers is very conspicuous, the number of women—including pupilteachers —having been augmented by 74, while the additional number of men is only 10.

TABLE K. —School Staff, December, 1890.

In the analysis of salaries (Table L), along with the 2,978 teachers and pupils engaged at the end of the year are included two teachers on leave, three relieving teachers, and the teachers of sewing—l62 in number. The salaries of which the teachers were in receipt at the end of the year amounted to £297,265 16s. 9d. per annum, showing an increase of only £2,028 16s. 3d. in the year, while the number of teachers increased by 82. It follows that the average salary of a teacher declined in twelve months from £96 10s. lid. to £94 10s. sd. The increase of attendance for the year —1,258 —carried with it an increase of income to the Boards of only £4,717 10s., and this was, of course, quite insufficient to maintain the average of salary when the number of teachers was increased by between 80 and 90. Another reason for the diminution of average salary is that the expenditure for buildings has far exceeded the grant for building purposes : the grant was £25,000, and the expenditure was more than £39,000.

In Table M the teachers above the rank of pupil-teachers are divided according to their status as holding certificates, or being in that respect only partially qualified for the appointments they hold. In December 1,700 teachers out of 2,038 had passed the examination for certificates : 1,674 held certificates, 5 needed only to have marks assigned to them by the Inspectors, and 21 had not completed the required term of service. There were 142 that had obtained partial pass, 57 who had failed at examination, and 139 who had not offered themselves for examination. Twenty-nine of the uncertificated teachers held the " license to teach," and these are indicated by numbers in square brackets in the table.

TABLE M.—Teachers Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1890. (Numbers In brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

At the examination held in January, 70 of the uncertificated teachers passed, reducing the number of teachers that had not passed to 268 —out of the total of 2,038. At the same time a considerable number obtained " partial pass." The annual reports of the Education Boards will be found in the Appendix (pp. 54-86), and with each report an abstract of the Board's receipts and expenditure is given. Tables No. 3 and No. 4in the Appendix contain a summary of these accounts, and the following table (N) is a shorter statement of the summary:— TABLE N.—Absi'eact of Receipts and Expenditure of Boards.

Part of the capitation allowance is included in the sum of €33,772 received from School Commissioners, and of this sum about €1,500 was received in the year in excess of the deductions made on

The amounts which the Commissioners are able to pay to the Education Boards are increasing from year to year; for 1890 the amount is £33,400, and to that extent the sum that would otherwise be paid out of the Treasury in the form of capitation allowance has been diminished, the income from the primary-education reserves being in effect colonial revenue.

Native Schools. Seven Native schools have been closed during the year, and only three new ones opened. The most promising of the new schools is at Otorohahga, near the southern terminus of the Auckland railway system. In December there were 58 pupils on the roll of this school, of whom 32 were Maori and 17 halfcaste ; the average attendance for the quarter being 39. At Matihetihe, in the Hokianga district, a small school, dependent on the older school at Waitapu, has been established; and at Kenana, in the Mangonui district, a school has been opened near tbe homes of some of the children that formerly attended at Peria. The Peria School has been abandoned on account of the decline of the Native population in its neighbourhood, and for a similar reason the school at Mangamaunu, near Kaikoura, has been given up. The schools at Te Oreore, in the Wairarapa, and at D'Urville Island were always small, and lately the people have not manifested sufficient interest in them to render it worth while to foster them any longer. The schools at Te Ngaere, near Whangaroa, and at Hawai, near Torere, in the Bay of Plenty, owe their failure to tribal misunderstandings and jealousies more than to any other cause. The school at Te Awahou, near Eotorua, has never been a vigorous one, and it has been deemed advisable to suspend operations there, for a time at least: if, after a while, the people of the place give evidence of an earnest desire for the education of their children, work may, perhaps, be resumed. It was announced in the report for 1889 that the pupils of Maungatapu, near Tauranga, had migrated to Ngapeke, and were being instructed there; the tide has since turned, and the old school at Maungatapu has 35 children on the roll, while Ngapeke, where the school work was carried on temporarily in a Maori building, is deserted. By the changes that have been described the number of Native schools was reduced during the year from 72 to 68: two years ago the number was 75. Reference was made in last year's report to a proposal for transferring to the Auckland Education Board the Kirikiri Native school, at the Thames. It was stated then that the Native people of the place objected to the change, and that, as the land was acquired under " The Native Schools Sites Act, 1880," it was advisable to respect their sentiments. After a time the people offered to sell the school property to the Board, though it was not theirs to sell. In the last session of Parliament an Act was passed to enable Education Boards to acquire properties held under the Native Schools Sites Act, by paying to the Natives, if they consent to the arrangement, the value of the site alone, as ascertained by a Commissioner appointed by His Excellency the Governor. A satisfactory arrangement has not, however, been yet arrived at in the case of Kirikiri, although a large abatement has been made from the price originally demanded. A vacancy having occurred in the mastership of the Native school near Waikouaiti, it was suggested to the Maori people there that, as, owing to their progress in European civilisation, there was no very good reason for making any distinction between them and the rest of the community, they should consent to the transfer of their school to the Otago Education Board; but they have hitherto declined to entertain this proposal, and a new master has lately been appointed. The old-established school at Little River, near Lake Ellesmere, has been closed ever since the death of its late teacher, early in 1890. It was thought that, as the children were living in the midst of Europeans, they would make use of the public school, which is close at hand; but they have not done so, and apparently will not do so. Urgent representations have been made to Government by Maori members to revive the school, and it will shortly be reopened. The Maori residents at Arowhenua, within a mile or so of the public school at Temuka, make persistent application for the establishment of a Native school, and assign reasons which, to them, seem adequate for not sending their children to a European school. Their request has been several times refused; but since the Temuka School Committee and the South Canterbury Education Board, to whom the question has been referred, recommend the Government to make separate provision for these Natives it seems necessary to consider the case very thoroughly before coming to a final decision.

xiii

E.—_

It has not been possible to afford much encouragement lately to proposals for the establishment of new schools. The limited supplies voted last year rendered it necessary to postpone all repairs that were not very urgently demanded. The works in progress are —new school-buildings at Poroporo, near Whakatane, where work has been carried on for years under great disadvantages ; and the reinstatement of the old buildings at Te Teko (inland from Whakatane), a place that is now rapidly recovering from the devastation wrought by the Tarawera eruption in 1886. The master at Poroporo has been living at Whakatane, four miles away from his work, and the school has assembled in a Maori house : there were 34 children on the roll in December, and the average attendance was 20. The Te Teko people, who have reoccupied their old settlement, expect to have an attendance of about 30 when their school is reopened. Negotiations are in progress for the transfer to the Auckland Education Board of some schools in districts where the people have become well accustomed to European ways. It is not to be expected that the transfer of such schools to the Board will result in a diminution of the cost per head in the schools that will remain under the direction of the Education Department; on the contrary, the more unfit the schools are to be merged in the public-school system of the colony the more expensive—as a rule—must they be, and the transfer of those that differ least from the ordinary public schools will leave the more expensive ones in the hands of the 'department. A Native school in a lonely place must not be intrusted to a junior teacher or to a bachelor, and it is not a fitting sphere for a single woman. It is usually necessary to have for masters married men, and the example set by the daily life of a well-ordered family is one of the greatest benefits conferred on the people of a Native settlement by the establishment and maintenance of a Native school. There is always the danger that, removed from the influence of the society of their equals, the teachers may fail to maintain their old standard of comfort, refinement, and energy, and, as a matter of fact, some do fail; but the few instances of failure serve to emphasize the importance of selecting men of strong character to form the vanguard of civilisation. It is possible that the Department may have been too reluctant to proceed to extremities at the first indication of any objectionable weakness ; that in such cases it has sometimes been too sanguine and too patient, and that occasion has thus been given for adverse judgments fairly applicable to individual instances, but quite unfair when they are made to apply to the service as a whole. Of the service generally, and of most of the teachers by name, the Inspectors constantly speak in terms of high commendation. The number of children on the books at the end of December was 2,259 ; Maoris and children between Maori and half-caste make up 71 per cent, of this mimber, half-caste children 11 per cent., and Europeans or half-castes inclining to European 18 per cent. The proportion of children under ten years of age was 57| per-cent. The average attendance for the year was 1,877, and for the fourth quarter 1,785. The falling-off of attendance, as disclosed by a comparison of the numbers here given with those of the preceding year, has been considerable, and a decline in this respect is necessarily accompanied at first by an increase in the expenditure reckoned at so much a head. The number of pupils that passed at standard examinations was 699 : Standard 1., 281 ; 11., 236; 111., 110; IV., 72. The examinations of the year were more strict than those of former years, especially with respect to the accurate use of English. The number of teachers employed in December was 135 : 59 were masters, with salaries from £90 to £235 ; 8 were mistresses, with from £72 to £165 ; 27 were assistant mistresses, with from £15 to £55 ; and 41 were teachers of sewing, at £20 each. For the present financial year the highest salary is £205. Mr. A. J. Hamilton, one of the most efficient of the Native-school teachers, has just been appointed Principal of the College at Tonga, an institute where 200 youths are under instruction. The Government of Tonga, believing that the New Zealand method of giving instruction in Native schools through the medium of

xiv

E.—l

English was producing better results than they had obtained by their old rule of using the native Polynesian tongue, applied to the Department for assistance in the selection of a suitable master, with the result that the post was offered to Mr. Hamilton, who has accepted it, and who left for Tonga a few days ago. ' The four boarding-schools for Natives—the Catholic school at Napier, and the Church of England schools at Auckland, Napier, and Te Aute—had 180 pupils in attendance at the end of the year. Of the pupils sent to boardingschools by the Government, 49 are children that have passed the highest Native-school standard, and have been admitted as Government scholars. There are 27 of these scholars at St. Stephen's, Parnell, 8 at Te Aute, Hawke's Bay, 8 at Hukerere, Napier, and 6 at St. Joseph's, Napier; and at these schools there are 131 other pupils (the numbers being 30, 57, 31, and 13 respectively), of whom 101 are not paid for by Government. The expenditure on Native schools for the year 1890 was as follows : On salaries and allowances for removal and other purposes, £11,528 15s. lOd.; books and school requisites, £372 lis. lOd. ; prizes, .£3lB 12s. Bd. ; repairs and minor works, £405 7s. 5d.; inspection, including travelling, £624 ss. sd. ; board of Maori girls in teachers' families, £42; subsidies towards purchase of musical instruments, £23 10s. ; grants to boarding-schools and travelling expenses of scholars, £1,525 16s. 10d.; buildings, fencing", and furniture, £2,595 15s. 5d.; sundries, £54 17s. 6d. The total is £17,491 12s. lid., but, as £115 7s. 4d. was contributed from income of Native reserves, the net cost was £17,376 ss. 7d. Most of the correspondence between the department and the teachers passes through the hands of the District Superintendents—Mr. Bishop, Mr. Booth, Mr. Bush, and Mr. Wilkinson —to whom the department is deeply indebted for much valuable advice, which they are especially qualified to give, and for their constant interest in the welfare of the Maori schools. Deaf-mute Institution. The number of pupils at the School for Deaf-mutes, at Sumner, at the end of 1890 was 42, the same as at the beginning of the year. The proposed removal of the school to a new site at Eiccarton stands indefinitely postponed. The expenditure for the year was £3,633 os. 3d.;. new site, £606 95.; salaries, £1,151 Bs. 9d.; board of pupils, £1,331 ss. 7d. ; rent, £345; travelling, £111 ss. 6d.; sundries, £87 lis. sd. Contributions amounting to £386 16s. Bd. were received from parents. The Blind. Nine blind pupils are maintained at the expense of the Government at a school for the blind in Melbourne, and two at a school in Sydney. A society lately formed is about to open a school for the blind in Auckland, and arrangements have been made for sending six Government pupils to this institution, of which the proposed operations are described by its Secretary in the following terms: — " The house we have taken is situated in Manukau Road, Parnell, the Parnell and Newmarket 'buses passing the door, and close to the Domain, within easy distance of the sea, about 200 yards beyond the Cathedral Church (St. Mary's), and within easy distance of other places of worship and schools. The building consists of reception room, dining- and school-room, kitchen, scullery, lavatory, bathroom, storeroom, linen room, music room, and 9 bedrooms; washhouse detached, coalhouse, &c.; to which it is intended to add a gymnasium. " The staff at first will consist of matron, servant, Mr. Tighe, and one seeing teacher. We have every facility and the necessary books, frames, &c, for teaching both Braille and Moon systems of reading and writing. Mr. Tighe is a first-class teacher of different handicrafts, and the female scholars will be taught sewing, knitting, cooking, and other useful matters by the matron. The visiting staff will report to the Committee monthly, and as we find out new wants we shall supply them, as we are determined to make the institution second to none in the colonies. We possess an excellent library in the Moon type, complete brush-making machinery, models for basketwork, &c, but at present are confining our attention principally to getting the school into proper working order ; as soon as that is all ready we shall extend our operations to teaching the men rades; indeed, a good deal has already been done in that direction, but not so thoroughly as will e the case when we get the school properly working."

Industrial Schools. There is again a decline in the number of committals to the Industrial Schools. The annual average of committals from 1880 to 1885 was 298-5, and the maximum number for one year —340 —was reached in 1885, the year in which the Hospital and Charitable Aid Act was passed. The several numbers for the several years since that date are 238, 224, 190, 169, and (for last year) 158. During the year the number of children belonging to the schools has declined from 1,525 to 1,454, and the number of children maintained by the schools (as distinguished from inmates at service, or licensed to reside with their friends, or otherwise absent from the schools) from 1,054 to 971. The children admitted—as has been said—were 158. Of this number, 76 were destitute, 6 vagrant, 26 found in disreputable places, 9 uncontrollable, 38 guilty of punishable offences, and 3 admitted by private arrangement. The number of inmates discharged was 229: 212 by warrant, 7on attaining the age of twentyone years, 2by marriage, 2by transfer to the Costley Institute, and 6by death. Of the inmates of Burnham, two boarded-out children died—one of whooping-cough and teething at the age of twelve months, and one of consumption at the age of six; and a boy of sixteen, who had absconded from service, was killed by a kick from a horse. A boy of eight, boarded out from Caversham, died of inflammation of the kidneys, preceded by "la grippe " ; and a boy of fifteen, belonging to the same school, who was in a place of service, was thrown from a horse and killed. At St. Mary's, Nelson, a boy of seven died of meningitis. With respect to the religious profession of their parents, the children admitted during the year are classified as follows : Church of England, 68; Roman Catholic, 41; Presbyterian, 31; Methodist, 9 ; Congregational, 2; Baptist, 1; " Protestant," 3 ; not ascertained, 3. The circumstances and character of the parents of the children admitted are shown in Table T, from which it appears that there are 47 cases in which no suspicion of blame rests upon the parents, and 22 other cases in which the information supplied affords no adequate means of forming an opinion in this respect; while in 17 cases the conduct of both parents may be held to account for the state in which the children are found, and there are 45 cases in which the character of the father alone, and 27 in which the character of the mother alone, is liable to censure.

TABLE T.—Admissions classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1890.

The inmates actually residing iii the schools at the end of the year numbered 544, and of these there were 260 in Government schools, 8 in the "local" school at the Thames, and 276 in "private" schools. From the Government schools 426 were boarded out, and from a "private" school one. The rest of the young people —of whom 423 belonged to Government schools, 10 to the "local" school, and 50 to "private" schools—are accounted for as follows : At service, 372 ; licensed (on probation) to friends, 82; absent without leave, 17; at Costley Institute (on probation), 2; at a blind asylum, 1; in hospital, 3; in lunatic asylums, 2; in Magdalene Asylum, 2; in prison, 2.

TABLE U.—Inmates, 1889 and 1890.

The decline in the number of children has been attended by a diminution in the cost of the Government schools to the extent of about .€2,000; and the amount recovered (from Charitable Aid Boards and parents) has exceeded by about €900 the corresponding amount for the preceding year. The services of the Visiting Officer have been dispensed with; and arrangements have just been made with the Police Department for a regular collection, week by week, of sums payable by parents for the maintenance of their children. Table W shows the cost of the Government schools for 1890.

The Trustees of the Costley Institute, which has the guardianship of a considerable number of young persons that were formerly inmates of the Auckland Industrial School, have sent in their annual report and accounts, and these have been printed, and will be laid before Parliament (E.-3a), University of New Zealand and Affiliated Colleges. The report presented to His Excellency by the Chancellor of the New Zealand University is printed as a parliamentary paper (E.-5). The degrees conferred consequent upon the examinations of 1890 are as follows: M.A., 15; 8.A., 36; B.Sc, 1; M.8., 3; LL.B., 7: total, 62.

Cieculae. Silt, — Education Department, Wellington, 24th June, 1890. I have the honour, by direction of the Minister of Education, to inform you that it has been represented to him that the parents of the children that attend the public schools are. commonly required to purchase a large number of school-books, and that the payment thus required of them in many cases amounts to the equivalent of a substantial fee, so that the promise of free education is practically unfulfilled. After making inquiry the Minister considers that there is ground for the complaint, and he believes that excessive requirements have arisen partly from the wide option afforded in the list of books set forth in the regulation made by Order in Council, and partly from the frequency of changes made or allowed by the Boards with respect to the selecting of books from that list. He is also of opinion that such books as are required to be used only in class, and need not be taken home, might reasonably be provided as part of the apparatus of the school. Books used in this way would last for years in a school under good discipline. The Minister would be glad to assist in bringing about a state of things in which a child removed from one school to another would not require a new set of books, and in which a book after an elder child had done with it could be passed on to a younger member of the same family. He therefore has it in contemplation to propose a revision of the regulation, in order that the number of authorised books may be considerably diminished. But before taking any decisive action in this direction he is desirous of ascertaining the views of the several Education Boards on the whole question to which this letter relates. I am therefore to ask you to be so good as to favour him at some early date with an expression of your opinion on the subject. The Chairman, I have, &c, Education Board, Wm. Jas. Habeks.

BEPORTS OF EDUCATION BOABDS.

[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, 20th March, 1891. In conformity to section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1890 : — Board. —The Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. Eichard TJdy (Chairman) James William Carr, Theophilus Cooper, David Goldie, James Marshall Lennox, Samuel Luke, William Pollock Moat, Eichard Monk, and John Henry Upton. Mr. Goldie resigned in February, 1891. Messrs. Carr, Monk, and Upton w7ill retire at the 31st March, 1891. The new members elected to succeed them are Messrs. William Motion, James Muir, and Alexander Grant. The election of a member to succeed Mr. Goldie is not yet completed. Forty-two meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. Public Schools. —There were 266 schools in operation at the end of the year. Of this number, twenty-five were " aided " schools. The number of half-time schools has been reduced from forty-eight to forty, and a further reduction is being made by placing such schools under the charge of separate teachers wherever the number of scholars is sufficient to warrant it. New schools have been opened during the year at the following places: North of Auckland—Ngunguru, Long Bay, Awanui, Wayby, Motukaraka, Taraunui, Horse-shoe Bush, Waiotemarama, Hukerenui North; South of Auckland—Karangahake, Waihi, Netherfcon, Te Kowhai, Waiau, Marsh Meadows, Mangere Bridge: total, sixteen. Five schools have been closed, namely: Ohineroa, closed upon removal of population from the district; Ararimu Valley, Brown's Bay, Chelsea, and Mackaytown, closed on account of accommodation being provided for the scholars in other adjacent schools. The buildings in w7hich these five schools were held did not belong to the Board. The Board grants aid to the extent of a capitation allowance of £4 a head wherever an average attendance can be maintained of ten scholars who are beyond the reach of any other school. It is sometimes necessary in a newly-formed settlement to grant further aid towards the erection of a school building; but, as a rule, no outlay on building is incurred by the Board unless an average attendance of at least twenty scholars can be relied on. It has sometimes been asserted that the administration of the Board tends to benefit the town and suburban schools at the expense of the country districts. The subjoined figures are quoted to show how far that assertion is supported by the transactions of the past year. The total average attendance in the town and suburban schools was 9,668. The expenditure in these schools on teachers' salaries was £23,027, or at the rate of £2 7s. Bd. per scholar in average attendance ; the grants to Committees amounted to £2,376, or 4s. 9d. per head : the total cost of maintenance being £25,403, or £2 12s. sd. per head. In the country schools, which had an aggregate average attendance of 8,567 scholars, the expenditure on teachers' salaries was £33,417, equivalent to £3 18s. per head ; and the grants to Committees amounted to £2,841, or 6s. Bd. per head : the total cost of maintenance of country schools being £36,258, or £4 4s. Bd. per head. The cost per head is not a fictitious basis of comparison. It is the basis adopted by the Legislature in providing funds for primary education throughout the colony. These figures show that about one-fourth of the amount expended in maintaining country schools is derived from the capitation grant earned by the town and suburban schools. As regards the outlay on school buildings and furniture, a similar result is shown. The expenditure on buildings in the town and suburban schools amounted during the year to £2,162, or 4s. 7d. per head of the average attendance ; while the expenditure on country schools amounted to £6,909, or 16s. Id. per head. Teachers.—The number of teachers employed at the end of 1890 was 647, classified as follows :— Male. . Female. Total. In charge of schools ... ... ... 176 ... 69 ... 245 Assistants ... ... ... ... 30 ... 167 ... 197 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... 33 ... 117 ... 150 Sewing-teachers ... ... ... 0 ... 54 ... 54 Visiting teacher ..'. ... ... 1 ... 0 ... 1 Total ... . . ... 240 . 407 647 Under the system of classification adopted by the department, the assistants include seventeen junior assistants, who receive pupil-teachers' pay, and are reckoned as equivalent to pupil-teachers on the staff of the schools. Each succeeding year shows an improvement in the classification of the teachers employed. Of those above the rank, of pupil-teacher, eight are classified in Class B, six in Class C, 136 in Class D, and 271 in Class E. There are two unclassified teachers in charge of small " aided " schools. There has been a large number of changes in the teaching staff during the

55

E.—l

past year. Sixty-nine teachers have left the service, viz. : twenty-eight head teachers, twentythree assistants, and eighteen pupil-teachers. Seventy-six new teachers have entered, and eleven have re-joined the service, of whom eight are teachers in charge, seven assistants, and seventy-two pupil-teachers. There is still a surplus of seventy assistant teachers in excess of scale requirements. But the surplus is being gradually reduced by their promotion to the charge of schools as vacancies occur. The appointment of female teachers to the charge of country schools continues to be attended with satisfactory results. The reports of these schools are (almost without exception) very favourable. The Board has adhered to its course of action regarding the appointment and removal of teachers— namely, to consult the Committees to the fullest practicable extent, and at the same time to give due consideration to the claims of teachers to promotion on the ground of their classification, service, and efficiency. The question of adopting a fixed scale for the remuneration of assistant teachers has been considered, but no action has yet been taken. Pupil-teachees.—The following table shows the results of tlie annual examination of pupilteachers and candidates for employment held in June, 1890 : —

All candidates w7ho qualified received immediate employment. But the supply was not sufficient to meet requirements, and the Board was therefore obliged to employ a number of candidates who, although otherwise suitable for employment, had not passed the entrauce examination prescribed by the regulations. In order to prevent any further increase in the surplus of assistants, it has become necessary to rescind the rule under which pupil-teachers, on gaining their certificate, were promoted to the rank of assistants. In future, such promotion will take effect only when a vacancy occurs. Attendance. —The attendance of scholars during the December quarters of 1889 and 1890 is thus compared:—

These numbers include 443 scholars above school age and 175 scholars who had passed the Sixth Standard. Very serious disadvantages are occasioned by Irregularity of attendance. The school suffers, the teacher is discouraged, the teaching staff is reduced, and the Board sustains a considerable loss of income. But the chief sufferers are the children themselves, whose parents keep them at home, or permit the most trivial causes to interrupt their regular and punctual attendance at school. Committees may exert a useful influence by impressing upon parents the duty of securing for their children the fullest advantage of the system of education provided by the State. The issue of good-attendance certificates affords a valuable incentive in this direction. Subjects of Instruction. —With the advice of the Inspectors and of Professors Brown and Thomas, of the Auckland University College, a programme has been drawn up and issued to teachers for their guidance in carrying out the requirements of the standard regulations regarding the teaching of science. The programme comprises a three years' course of instruction in agricultural science, and in elementary physics, chemistry, and physiology. Inspection.—The appointment of a fourth Inspector of schools has enabled the staff to overtake the work of inspection and examination. Nearly every school has been visited twice during the year. Scholarships.—Thirty junior and fourteen senior district scholarships were held during the year. The holders attended the Grammar Schools at Auckland and at the Thames. Scholarships established by private bequest under the Bawlings trust have been maintained for several years, and the holders have gained distinction in University examinations. Free education at the secondary schools is granted to a certain;, number of those pupils w 7ho pass the district scholarship examination with credit. The junior scholarships are divided into four classes, with a view to their equitable distribution in proportion to the advantages enjoyed by town and country schools respectively. The Board suggests that provision should be made to enable the holders of senior scholarships to attend the Lincoln School of Agriculture. At present they cannot do so, inasmuch as that school is not

placed under the inspection of a public school Inspector. It is hard to understand why the youths of this district should be excluded from sharing the advantages of a colonial institution of this kind. Buildings.—The Board has had to postpone several necessary buildings for want of funds. The building-grant voted by Parliament was not received until after the close of the year. It is now all expended, and a further sum of £9,000 is needed for immediate requirements. It is difficult to prepare an accurate estimate of building requirements for twelve months in advance. Settlement in country districts is advancing rapidly; and the establishment of a new industry, or the opening of a new mining-field, may cause a sudden growth of population in a locality which was previously almost uninhabited. The Board endeavours to meet the wants of country districts as liberally and as speedily as its resources will allow; but there is often some delay in fixing upon a suitable site for a school in a newly-formed settlement, and in estimating the amount of accommodation required. There are still many schools unprovided with teacher's dwellings ; and serious inconvenience is endured by some teachers through the want of a suitable residence. All school buildings are painted once in every five years, the cost being defrayed by equal instalments from the Board fund and from the school fund administered by Committees. The contribution from the school fund is allowed to extend over two or three years, if desired. Finance. —The receipts during the year amounted to £82,939 65., inclusive of a balance of £9,566 2s. Bd. brought forward at the beginning of the year. The expenditure during the year amounted to £75,282 7s. 6d. The following statement shows the assets and liabilities at the 31st December, 1890 : -Maintenance Account—assets, £11,833 7s. 7d.; liabilities, £5,583 2s. 9d.: credit balance, £6,250 is. lOd. Building Fund—assets £6,200; liabilities, £8,050 9s. : debit balance, £1,850 9s. The capitation grant of £3 15s. was applied (approximately) as follows :On teachers' salaries, £3 3s. per head; on grants to Committees (including painting and repairs of school buildings), ss. lOd.; on inspection and examination, 25.; on office management, Is. 7d. ; unexpended, 2s. 7d. : total, £3 15s. per head. The accounts of School Committees will be rendered for the period of fifteen months ending in March, 1891. An auditor has been appointed to audit them, and the usual summary will be forwarded in due course. Committees. —Valuable help continues to be afforded by the School Committees throughout the district in the conduct and supervision of school affairs, and in maintaining and improving the school property. The Board is glad to have this opportunity of acknowledging their cordial co-operation in these matters. The Hon. the Minister of Education. B. Udy, Chairman.

TABANAKI. Sib, — Taranaki Education Board, New Plymouth, 11th March, 1891. In the terms of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to transmit the report of the Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1890. The Board. —At the annual election in March, Messrs. Adlam, Bauchope, and Syme were the retiring members. Mr. Bauchope was not a candidate for re-electionV Mr. Adlam was re-elected, with Mr. David Teed and Mr?, James Wade. Mrs. Bichmond resigned in June, and Mr. Bauchope was elected to fill the vacancy. The Board then consisted of the following members, viz.: Thomas Kelly (Chairman), Miss Heywood, Messrs. J. Andrews, G. A. Adlam, B. G. Bauchope, H. Faull, E. Olson, D. Teed, and J. Wade. The Board held twenty-four ordinary and one special meeting during the year. The attendance of members has been as follows : Mr. Kelly, 23 ; Mr. Andrews,

57

E.—l

25; Mr. Adlam, 23; Mr. Bauchope, 14; Mr. Faull, 24 ; Mr. Olson, 23; Mr. Teed, 15 ; Mr. Wade, 19; Miss Hey wood, 25. Schools.—There were thirty-nine schools open at the beginning of the year, and two have been opened since—viz., one at Carrington Boad, and one at Kaimata Boad; and two schools—viz., the Waitara East and Waitara West—have been amalgamated : making a total of forty schools open at the end of the year. Teachers.—The number of teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of 1890 was seventy-three, with twenty-seven sewing-teachers, making a total of a hundred, classified as follows, viz.:— Males. Females. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... 31 ... 9 ... 40 Assistant teachers ... ... ... 3 ... 7 ... 10 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... 4 ... 19 ... 23 Sewing-teachers ... ... ... ... ... ... 27 ... 27 38 ... 62 ... 100 Attendance.—The attendance at the schools continues to increase, but not to such a large extent as the extended settlement of the waste lands would warrant. It is possible that in the newly-settled districts, where school accommodation is not yet provided, the non-attendance of the children of new settlers may be the occasion of this. The roll-number for the 31st December, 1889, was 2,565, and for the 31st December, 1890, 2,629, showing an increase of sixty-four. There has been a falling-off in the percentage of average attendance, that for 1889 being 74 per cent, on the school-roll, while for 1890 it only reached 72 per cent. This may be accounted for by the unusual heavy rainfall for the months of April to December, and the extensive bush fires ending in March. Attempts have been made by some Committees to induce a more regular attendance, and endeavours have also been made to bring to school children who are not on the school-roll; but their efforts have not been attended with great success. An attempt has been made to ascertain the percentage of children who finally leave school during the year. For the last quarter of the year the number has been seventy-eight. On the same ratio, this would give an average of 312 for the year, or about one-eighth of the school-roll. They are classified as follows : — No. Left. Average Age. Standard 11. ... ... ... ... 15 ... 13| years. 111. ... 19 ... 14J „ IV. ... ... ... ... 14 ... 15J „ V 15 .... 15* „ VI. 15 ... 15 Teaching Besults.—The Board is glad to be able to report that the quality of the teaching in this district is steadily improving, and no doubt better general results would have been shown this year were it not for the frequent changes of teachers. These changes occur mostly in the small schools. In one school the Inspector reports seven changes during the past seven years. It is obvious that, with such interruptions to continuous work, good results cannot be obtained. The Board will probably be able to provide a remedy now that the more pressing call for school buildings has been satisfied, by devoting the whole of the Education fund to the ordinary administration of the Board. This will enable the Board to give an increased salary to teachers of small schools, and thus induce qualified persons to apply when vacancies occur. The effect on a school when a change has been made from an inefficient to an efficient teacher is so marked in the improved intelligence of the children that it clearly shows that good teaching produces good results under the most discouraging conditions. Present Condition of Education. —The present system of national education has been in operation long enough to enable the Board to estimate its value as an educational agent—to realise its good qualities, and detect some of its deficiencies. Taking an impartial view of the work now being done in our public schools, in imparting to the rising generation that elementary training in literary knowledge which is intended to prepare them for taking a useful part in the practical work of life, the Board is of opinion that the work is, on the whole, good, when the difficulties of the position are taken into consideration. It is probable that the syllabus and methods are capable of improvement, but, so far, no general consensus of opinion has been able to point out what additions should be made or what procedure omitted in order to improve the teaching. The true system of reform is to go carefully step by step, whether by way of omission or by addition, w 7ith respect to the mode of teaching or to the subjects taught. Scholarships.—Ten scholarships were awarded by the Board under the new regulations, viz.; five " A" scholarships, based on an examination equal to a Fourth Standard pass ; and five " B " scholarships, based on an examination equal to a Fifth Standard pass. The work done by the candidates was of a better quality than formerly, and it is now desirable that the examination test be advanced a standard in each—viz., to the Fifth and Sixth Standards. Sewing.—The w 7hole of the schools now in charge of male teachers are, with one exception, provided with sewing-teachers, twenty-seven being employed in the district. The ladies constituting the Sewing Committee continue to give their valuable aid in the examination of the work of candidates for the office of sewing-teacher, and awarding marks at the annual examination of the specimens of sewing sent in from the schools prepared in accordance with the standard requirements. Teaching of a very valuable character is now being given in all the Board's schools in this desirable branch of female education. Buildings.—With a limited building grant, the Board has not been able to do much in the way of providing for school-accommodation and residences for teachers. A new school has been built on the Kaimata Boad, in a bush district. The Waitara schools have been consolidated by the B—E. 1.

E.—l

58

enlargement of the Waitara West School. Additions have been made to the schools at Inglewood and Midhirst, and a residence has been built at Waiongona. This work involved a payment from the ordinary fund, in order to meet the obligation to contractors. Several new schools will be shortly required in newly-settled districts. Enlargement of several existing schools demands attention ; a large number of teachers' residences are required; and a considerable outlay will have to be made in repairs and painting of school buildings. Committees.—The number of School Committees is yearly increasing; the school districts now number twenty-five. This increase is occasioned by the desire of outlying districts, where a new school is built, to secure local school-management. This has the effect of increasing the work of the Board ; but, on the other hand, it gives the householders more interest in the work of the school, and in many cases local supervision could only be secured by the creation of a new district. The Committees take an active interest in the school w 7ork, and aid the Board in the many necessary local improvements connected with the school property. The total receipts of the various School Committees from the Board for the year was £582 12s. 7d. Income and Expenditure of the Board.-—The revenue of the Board from all sources for the year was £8,873 16s. 3d., and the expenditure £8,584 Is. lid., leaving a credit balance of £289 14s. 4d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Thomas Kelly, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Education Office, Wanganui, 30th March, 1891. I have the honour to present the -report of the Board's proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1890. Board.—The Board is at present composed of the following gentlemen: Mr. Gilbert Carson (Chairman), Mr. Henry Sanson, Mr. George S. Bridge, Bev. John Boss, Mr. James W. Baker, Mr. James H. Fry, Mr. John Notman, Mr. B. E. Beckett, and Mr. G. A. Hurley. During the year Mr. J. C. Yorke resigned, and was succeeded by Mr. G. A. Hurley. Mr. G. S. Bridge, Mr. John Notman, and Mr. B. E. Beckett retired by rotation, and w 7ere all re-elected. The Board has met regularly on the last Monday and following Tuesday in each month, and, as heretofore, has been materially assisted by the Executive Committee, composed of three of its members. At the annual election of Chairman, Mr. Gilbert Carson was re-elected. Schools. —At the close of 1889 there were eighty-three schools in operation. There are now eighty-seven open, classed as follows : One, w7ith an average attendance of over 300 pupils; eight, with an average attendance of 150 to 300 pupils; nine, with an average attendance of 100 to 150 pupils; seven, with an average attendance of 75 to 100 pupils; seven, with an average attendance of 50 to 75 pupils; thirty-three, with an average attendance of 25 to 50 pupils; twelve, with -an average attendance of 20 to 25 pupils ; two, .with an average attendance of 15 to 20 pupils; eight, wdth an average attendance of under 15 pupils. Of the above, ten are " aided" schools, having an ayerage attendance of under 20 pupils. These schools are officered by the following teachers, viz.: twenty head male teachers, three head female teachers, forty male teachers in sole charge of schools, seventeen female teachers in sole charge of

59

E.—l

schools, seven assistant male teachers, eighteen assistant female teachers, forty-three female pupilteachers, and sixteen male pupil-teachers. There are also nineteen cadets in the Board's employ, who are not counted in the staff, and do not receive any salary. These only teach half-time, and receive the same instruction as is given to pupil-teachers. The Board has found it necessary to appoint a relieving teacher, owing to the constant changes which take place in the staff. Probationers'are taken on for a term of threejmonths, and, if found competent, are drafted into schools as vacancies occur. During the year a committee was appointed to investigate the condition of "aided" schools, with the result that the scale of payments was increased, and now stands as follows : In schools where the average attendance does not exceed fifteen, a capitation allowance of £5 per head is made ; and in schools where the average attendance ranges from sixteen to nineteen, a fixed salary of £75 per annum is allowed. Female teachers receive three-fourths of this scale. An addition upon a graduated scale has also been made to the salaries of pupil-teachers who live away from home. The Board has great pleasure in bearing testimony to the general efficiency of the teachers in its employ—to the satisfactory manner in which they endeavour, as a rule, to perform their duties and to carry out the instructions of the Board. The average roll-number for the whole year was 7,778'25, and the average attendance for the same period w 7as 5,745, giving a percentage of attendance on the roll of 73 per cent. The Board has frequently called the attention of the School Committees to the unsatisfactory average attendance, and regrets that such a state of things should continue, especially in the larger schools. New schools have been opened at Bata, Midland Boad, and Waituna, the two latter being "aided " only. In order to guard against loss, when application is made to the Board to erect country schools in districts where the attendance would be doubtful, it now requires the settlers to sign a bond guaranteeing to make up the teacher's salary to £100 a year for three years should the attendance fall short of the average which would entitle the teacher to that sum by the Board's scale of payments. School Committees.—There are now eighty-six School Committees in this district. The new ones formed during the year were : Bata, Kaponga, Mangatoki, Batanui, Hiwinui, and Spur Boad. The Board has much satisfaction in stating that it has worked quite harmoniously with the School Committees, and can bear testimony to the useful work performed by them, as well as to the great interest which they display in the cause of education generally. In many instances they have liberally contributed towards improvements and the purchase of school sites. During the year the capitation to School Committees was increased by the Board 10 per cent. Buildings, Sites, and General Works. —In new buildings, a great want has been supplied at Palmerston North by the erection of a large and commodious school, upon a more convenient site of 2-J- acres, the cost of which has been mainly defrayed out of the proceeds of the sale of the old building and site. Another new school has also been completed at Hiwinui; whilst others are in course of erection at Kaponga, Mangatoki, and Spur Boad. Extensive additions were made to Stoney Creek and Kapuni Schools; and improvements in the shape of shelter-sheds, lining, fencing, painting, and general repairs were effected at Ngaire, Waitotara, Manaia, Bunnythorpe, Kairanga, Linton, Eltham, Kakaramea, Marton, Stanway, Sandon, &c. New residences have been erected at Hunterville and Pohangina, and extensive repairs effected to that at Halcombe. Besides the new school site at Palmerston North, one has been acquired at Bird Boad, and desirable additions have been made to the Feilding and Ashurst sites. The Board has now in view the erection of new schools at Opunake and Manaia Boads, Bird Boad, Apiti and Pemberton Small-farm Settlements, and in other districts from which full information is not yet to hand. Extensive repairs will also be undertaken at Normanby and other schools as circumstances dictate. The majority of the schools require painting, but, as the funds at the Board's disposal for such a purpose will not permit of the whole of the work being performed at one time, it has been decided to undertake a portion each year. Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held simultaneously at Wanganui, Hawera, and Palmerston North, supervisors being appointed at each of these centres, and the whole of the details being under the control of the Inspector. Three scholarships were awarded to the senior competitors, and five to the junior. Inspection.—The work of inspection having increased altogether beyond the powers of one Inspector, the Board has decided to appoint an assistant, and, with that end in view, is inviting applications for the position. School Commissioner.—The Hon. John Ballance having ceased to represent this Board on the Board of the Wellington School Commissioners, Mr. John Duthie, M.H.8., kindly consented to act, and now fills the position. Finance. —The several returns required by the department were forwarded in due course. The general statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance of £3,181 9s. Id. The liabilities were : £145 due to teachers, £266 14s. 9d. due to School Committees, £899 Bs. lOd. due to Bees bequest, and £10 due to the scholarships grant, leaving a net credit balance of £1,860 ss. 6d. The Building Account was overdrawn to the extent of £345 18s. 2d., with liabilities amounting to £1,089 10s. 4d. The assets in this latter account were £2,300, leaving a net credit balance of £864 lis. 6d. For further information respecting the progress and state of education in this district, I have the the honour to refer you to the Inspector's report. I have, &c,, The Hon. the Minister of Education. G. Carson, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1891. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Wellington has the honour to submit the following report on education matters in the district for the year 1890. Board.—At the commencement of the year the members constituting the Board were: Mr. J. E. Blair (Chairman), Mr. G. Beetham, M.H.8., Mr. A. W. Brown, Mr. W. C. Buchanan, M.H.8., Mr. H. Bunny, Mr. F. H. Fraser, Dr. Newman, M.H.8., the Bev. J. Paterson, and Mr. J. Young. The retiring members, under section 15 of the Act, were : Messrs. Buchanan, Bunny, and Fraser. Four candidates were nominated for the three vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of the three retiring members. An extraordinary vacancy occurred in May by the retirement of Mr. G. Beetham, who had obtained leave of absence to enable him to visit England, and had been unable to return before his seat on the Board had been declared vacant in consequence of his absence for three consecutive months beyond the period of his leave. Had the Board been aware of Mr. Beetham's determination to return, it would have been pleased to extend his leave. However, he was able to accept nomination, and was again elected. Two candidates were nominated for this vacancy. The Board held twelve ordinary, two adjourned, and one special meeting. The attendance of the individual members was as follows : Mr. Beetham, 4 ; Mr. Blair, 15 ; Mr. Brown, 13 ; Mr. Buchanan, 10; Mr. Bunny, 12 ; Mr. Fraser, 15; Dr. Newman, 12 ; Bev. J. Baterson, 13 ; and Mr. Young, 12. The Finance Committee met regularly each month, and the Technical School Committee met as occasion required, thereby considerably assisting the Board in the conduct of its business. New districts were constituted at Shannon, Kereru, Levin, Ballance, and Kaitawa, the attendance at these schools being in each case sufficient to warrant the establishment of a duly-consti-tuted authority. These make seventy-one school districts under this Board at the present time, with eighty-two schools, classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, six; 15 and under 20 pupils, six; 20 and under 25 pupils, ten; 25 and under 50 pupils, twenty-three ;50 and under 75 pupils, nine ; 74 and under 100 pupils, six ; TOO and under 150 pupils, seven; 150 and under 300 pupils, five; 300 and under 500 pupils, eight; 500 and upwards, two. At the close of the year the teaching staff consisted of: Head of school, 35 males 8 females; sole teachers, 22 males 17 females; assistants, 23 males 46 females ; pupil-teachers, 13 males 103 females : in all, 267 teachers and 11 sew7ing-teachers. The only appointment vacant was the headmastership of the Clareville School. The schools at Alfredton and Waikanae were reopened, and new schools opened at Kaitaw 7a, Ballance, Ditton, Grassendale, W'aikawa, and Levin. Pupil-teachers.—The examination of pupil-teachers, as in former years, w7as held immediately after the breaking-up of the schools for the Christmas vacation, and was conducted simultaneously at Masterton and the Terrace Schools, the arrangements for this year being carried out by the Board's Inspectors. The following is a summary of the results : End of first year— passed 9, failed 5, not promoted 5, total 19; end of second year—passed 11, failed 2, total 13 ; end of third year—passed 10, failed 7, total 17 ; end of fourth year —passed 9, failed 1, total 10; passed matriculation, 6 ; not present at examination, 2 ; just received appointments, 3 : total, 70.

With the limited sum allotted for schoolbuildings the Board has been compelled to exercise the most watchful economy to enable it to deal with the demands made, and even then the most urgent repairs and reconstruction have had to be postponed time after time. The temporary structures which had to be provided in rapidly-growing centres of new settlement are barely sufficient to meet the most urgent needs of the time, and ultimately necessitate considerable improvements towards completion. Special grants of £50 in each case were made to the residents at Manakau, Shannon, Hastwell, and Kereru to enable them to gather the children together until such time as the Board could see its way to place education matters on a fair footing in those rapidly-thriving settlements. With these amounts fairly convenient rooms have been erected, but, of course, without lining or proper means of ventilation. However, the amount placed at the Board's disposal will not admit of further consideration being shown in these cases at present. When the attendance reaches beyond the numbers for whom accommodation has thus been found it becomes necessary for the Board to render the rooms more comfortable and to erect additions. In centres like these there is not the remotest chance of any spare residence being rentable, and the Board has therefore to build at once if it means to place a properly-qualified teacher in charge. The impetus given to new settlements by the erection of school buildings is simply enormous, and shows most plainly that the advantages of the present system of education are now being fully realised. The marvellous growth of Mangatainoko and the rapid increase at the Kaitawa and Hastwell Schools, each within a very few miles of Pahiatua, while the attendance at the schools which have been established for some years has gone on increasing steadily, cannot but be conclusive evidence of this fact. In addition to these, newer settlements through the Forty-mile Bush have already made application for recognition, and presented cases which cannot be ignored. In December last a special committee of the Board proceeded to report on the applications for school buildings which had been received from different places within what might be termed the Forty-mile Bush district. At Hastwell, the temporary building was found to be taxed to its utmost. Three children in a dual desk seemed the usual thing, while in several instances four were jammed in. The teacher's table was pushed into the fireplace, and the board and easel rested against it to make room for the desks. So much were the Committee impressed with the urgency of this case that they immediately instructed the architect to call for tenders for an additional class-room, and have the work done without delay. The schools at Mauriceville East and Kaitawa were being conducted by able and efficient teachers in such utterly unsatisfactory premises that justice could not be done to the children. In addition to these cases, the- Board's committee were well satisfied that the claims from Tawataia, Makakahi, Newman, and Ballance, for much-required buildings, must be met as early as possible. The residents of Newman have since erected a public hall, and placed it at the Board's disposal to meet their case in the meantime. The Board had hoped that it would have been able, during the past year, to build a new school in Ghuznee Street; but, unfortunately, the funds at its disposal have not been sufficiently elastic to enable this long-felt want to be met, and the old building has had to be endured. Inspection.—ln July last the Board decided to appoint an Assistant-Inspector, and selected Mr. Thomas B. Fleming, M.A., LL.B., who has every qualification for the office, and will no doubt prove an able and efficient officer. As the larger portion of the inspection and examination of the schools for this year has fallen on Mr. Lee, he alone has submitted the report. Mr. Lee considers that the standard work as a w 7hole is satisfactory and improving, not more than nine out of the seventy-three schools which have been examined being in a more or less unsatisfactory condition. In five of the weakest schools a change has been made in the head teacher since the examination. The total attendance at the time of the examination was 10,694, an increase of 234 over the numbers for last year, the result of the work giving 6,438 standard passes as against 5,985, with an average percentage of passes of 93-3. By an arrangement with the head teachers, a programme has been adopted for 1891 whereby the dulness of ordinary school-life will be considerably lessened, and the work made more attractive and interesting. Technical School.—By an arrangement with the City Corporation, the Board obtained the authority of Parliament to make an exchange of the sections in Ballance Street for a more suitable site in Victoria Street, and have since accepted a tender for the erection of a building containing new offices for the Board's business, and more suitable accommodation for the Technical School.

When the building is opened the Board hopes to see a steady increase in the attendance at the different classes. Finance. —The balance-sheet herewith will show that the administration of the year's revenue has been carried out on a sound basis. With the strictest economy in every department, the Board closes the year's operations with a satisfactory balance on Maintenance Account, and a debit on buildings which the Government grant will more than cover. Committees. —The valuable assistance rendered by the School Committees has done much to assist the Board in its administration of the Education Act, and well deserves placing on record. I have only further to add, from the point of view of the Board, that education in this district is making steady and sensible progress in our best schools, and we have not a few which may be classed as such. The standard reached will compare with the best in any other district. Our schoolhouses, of the latest style and construction, are almost in every respect excellent. The Board has in its service a considerable and growing body of trained, competent teachers, many of them highly so, animated by enthusiasm and a high sense of duty in the discharge of their very arduous and responsible functions, to whom the best thanks of the Board are due, and are now tendered. The country is making great sacrifices in the cause of education, and it is a duty laid on all connected therewith to see, so far as they are concerned, that the best results are obtained. There are a number of questions connected with the system agitating the minds of educationists, on which considerable diversity of opinion exists, such as the centralisation of the inspectorial staff, the passing by inspectors or the classing by the teachers of pupils, the subjects to be taught and their relative value and place in the curriculum, uniformity of class-books, &c. These questions should be grappled with and settled ; but before settlement they should be fully discussed in the light of day. Discussions and resolutions formulated on the side of the teachers only may lead to a one-sided settlement, for, with the very best intentions, the feeling is apt to grow that the schools exist for the teachers more than for the pupils. In the interest of the system, and for the better settlement of these questions, I have to suggest that the Minister of Education take the necessary steps to call together at the end of the year a congress of the Inspectors and representatives of teachers from all the education districts to meet himself and the Inspector-General for the purpose of openly discussing these matters. I have only further to suggest that the questions to be discussed should be prepared and circulated in time to enable those interested to come prepared to discuss them with the fullest knowledge. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. B. Blair, Chairman.

Annual Beport of the Art Director. Sir,— Wellington, 17th March, 1891. I have the honour to submit my report for 1890. 1. Primary Drawing has made considerable progress during the past year. The teachers have in the majority of cases shown commendable aptitude in their working, and good results are shown generally. Model drawing has made considerable advance, notably in the Newtown and Thorndon Schools, and, as a number of the assistant teachers have now studied the subject, I hope to report its introduction into the majority of city and large schools during the year 1891. During the earlier part of the year difficulty was^ experienced in obtaining the'materials required for drawing. This has been met by a recommendation to the chief city stationers as to the" nature of the requirements. Models are necessary to the successful working of drawing in primary schools, and sets have been obtained to meet this requirement, and are offered to schools at half-price. There appears, however, to be considerable difficulty in having the models supplied, owing to want of funds by the various Committees. The scholars holding full first-grade certificates have received

E.—l

63

instruction as previously, and made fair progress. The numbers are now in excess of any previous year, and good work in designs may reasonably be expected. 2. Instruction to Teachers has been continued daily throughout the year, and upon two evenings each week. Large numbers have availed themselves of the evening classes, with very beneficial results. Special classes have been held as usual upon Wednesdays and Saturdays, with large attendances. I regret to state that there are still a number of junior assistants who show no desire to gain the information necessary to fit them for class teaching, although additional classes have been held for their benefit, and others opened to them without fee. It is an utter impossibility to have efficient teaching throughout the schools under these conditions. Several assistant teachers have worked very earnestly during the year, notably Miss Law 7son and Messrs. Mclntyre, Barry, and Erskine. A number of pupil-teachers, including several newly-appointed ones, having obtained the full second-grade certificate, are making commendable progress in the more advanced work of light and shade from objects and the cast, and several have entered the list for the higher-grade examinations of Kensington. These teachers will prove invaluable to the service, as their powers of draughtsmanship and knowledge of light and shade will enable them to illustrate their lessons to great advantage. When it is considered that very few certificates were held previous to the opening of the school, the great progress made may be estimated from the table following, showing the position in drawing of the teachers in the Board's service, and also from the fact that no less than over five thousand certificates have been issued in primary drawing—4,226 in first grade and 1,288 in second grade.

Of the fourteen pupil-teachers entered as holding no certificates, thirteen are new to the service. 3. Number of Students entered upon the rolls is as follows: Average per term—Central School 262, subdivided into general students, 137 ; teachers, 38 ; pupil-teachers, 80 ; and scholars, 7. The Wairarapa branch 23 ; and the Newtown branch, 8. Or a full total of 293 students. 4. Examinations in first-, second-, and third-grade art were held at the usual times, and also second- as well as third-grade papers were this year taken in connection with the Science and Art Department. First Grade. —Number of papers examined, 3,074, as follows : Freehand, 1,179 —passed 689, failed 490; model, 187 —passed 75, failed 112; scale, 536—passed 381, failed 155 ; geometrical, I,l72—passed 821, failed 351: total, 3,o74—passed 1,966, failed 1,108. Number of papers " excellent," 262 ; "good," 353. Number of individual candidates, 1,932 ; passes, 1,405. The increase upon 1889 is as follows: Papers worked, 1,189; passes obtained, 848; individual passes, 509; individual candidates, 417. Second Grade. —Number of papers examined, 404, as follows : Blackboard, memory and copy, 60 —passed 26, failed 34; freehand, 136—passed 79, failed 57 ; model, 74 —passed 29, failed 45; geometrical, 77 —passed 42, failed 35 ; perspective, 68 —passed 35, failed 23 : total, 405—passed 211, failed 194. Individual candidates examined, 235; successful, 140. In the local third-grade examination 95 papers were taken ; 55 passes were obtained, the number of individual candidates being 36. Science and Art Department. —In accordance with instructions received from the department, the personal examinations took place in July, when a large number of candidates presented themselves for second- and third-grade subjects. The teachers in the Board's service availed themselves largely of the opportunity to obtain the English certificate, and very great interest was taken throughout. I regret that the returns, owing to some unaccountable delay, are not yet to hand. The works sent for examination in April for certificate of competition were very successful, the whole of the certificate works being passed, and three prizes awarded in the competition. When consideration is given to the fact that the school competes with the schools of the United Kingdom the result may be considered very satisfactory. The total number of local papers examined during the year was 3,574, being an increase of 1,188 papers upon 1889. The total number of certificates issued since the school was established is 6,366. 5. Prizes to the value of £10 have been awarded by myself, as follows: Subject sketch, M. Allan; still-life, H. S.Bennett; design, M. Igglesden; memory, N. Anderson; the second places being awarded respectively to Messrs. Hill, Dasent, and Newton. Mr. A. deß. Brandon has again presented a prize of two volumes to the engineering section, the recipient being W. Waters. 6. General.—The Masterton branch, under Miss Holmes, has done some remarkably good w 7ork, and I regret that the supp'ort hitherto afforded by your Board is now withdrawn. The following periodicals have been contributed to the school for the use of the students : The Engineer, by the publishers, London; Work, by Messrs. Cassells, London; The Decorator, by Baillie Brothers, Wellington. The usual difficulty has been experienced during the year in working the school, and lam heartily glad our new premises will soon bo habitable.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, Ist January, 1891. The Board of the Education District of Hawke's Bay, as constituted by the passing of " The Education Act, 1877," has the honour to present a report of its proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1890. Board.—Twelve meetings of the Board have been held, and the attendance at each meeting averaged six. Three of the members obtained special leave of absence to attend to their parliamentary duties. Under section 15 of the Act, the retiring members in March were Messrs. Harding, Sidey, and Swan, who were each nominated for a further term of three years. No other nominations being received, they were declared re-elected. The Board continues to be represented on the governing body of the Napier High Schools by Messrs. Ormond and Carlile. School Districts.—No new school districts have been constituted during the year, nor have any schools been closed or new ones opened, so that the number of schools and districts remains the same as last year. The forty-seven schools under the Board's management contain forty-nine departments, with 95 separate rooms for instruction. Classed according to attendance, there were on the 31st December eleven schools containing an average of not more than 25 pupils, eleven schools with an average varying from 26 to 50 pupils, ten schools with an average varying from 51 to 100 pupils, six schools with an average varying from 101 to 150 pupils, seven schools with an average varying from 151 to 300 pupils, whilst there were two with an average attendance exceeding 500 pupils. Teachers.—The schools were staffed as follows: (a) Head teachers, thirty-seven males, ten females; (b) assistant teachers, ten males and twenty-eight females; (c) ex-pupil- and pupilteachers, nine males and fifty-eight females. Sixty-eight of the principal and assistant teachers hold certificates of competency from the Education Department, and several of the ex-pupil-teachers have either passed for their certificates or have matriculated to the University, by which they become entitled to their certificates on certain conditions being satisfied. Seven of those in charge of schools do not yet hold full certificates of competency, whilst there are several assistant lady teachers holding very responsible positions in the schools who are uncertificated. The question as to whether the services of such teachers shall be retained will no doubt receive the attention of the Board during the coming year. Pupil-teachers.—The regulations dealing with the appointment, training, and instruction of the pupil-teachers show several slight amendments, but these have already been submitted to the central department for approval. It has been deemed necessary to direct the attention of those teachers having charge of the instruction of pupil-teachers to the regulations dealing with the efficient preparation of the pupil-teachers in what may be termed the elementary subjects of instruction —like reading, writing, and arithmetic. It would appear that these subjects, though by far the most important in their application to the instruction of young children, do not receive that attention from the principal teachers which their importance demands. Four hours' instruction each week is required to be given to the pupil-teachers, but little, if any, of the time appears to be given to their training in elocution or writing. The rule permitting ex-pupil-teachers to continue at the schools after the termination of their ordinary agreement is being availed of by most of the teachers. One encouraging sign among the pupil-teachers is their apparent desire to pass the examination of the Education Department for the Class E certificate at the end of their engagement. The Board is of opinion that the establishment of a few scholarships for open competition among the ex-pupil-teachers of the colony would be an additional incentive to them in their studies, and it would tend to bring about a common basis of instruction for the pupil-teachers in the several education districts. School Attendance.—During the past year the school attendance shows the barest increase compared with the corresponding attendance for 1889. In the first quarter of the school year the numbers attending school reached their highest point; but since then each succeeding quarter has shown a falling-off in the average weekly roll-number, which for December was 214 below that of March, whilst the average attendance was 186 below the March average. These diminishing results are entirely owing to the unusual amount of sickness that has prevailed in most of the school districts for more than six months of the year. The average number of pupils enrolled was 6,070-75, and the average attendance for the same period was 4,851*1, or an increase of little more than 1 per cent, for the year. This is much below what may be set down as the annual normal increase of the school population for the district. Comparing the regularity of the pupils at school, which is done by balancing the average attendance against the average roll-number, the result gives nearly 80 per cent, of the roll-number as having been in average attendance at school throughout the year. This is slightly less than it was for 1889, but during the June quarter the average attendance fell as low as 76 percent, of the roll-number; so that what may be termed the normal regularity w7as better than in previous years. In most of the school districts more activity is shown by the Committees in the matter of school attendance, and in several cases proceedings have been taken against parents under section 92 of " The Education Act, 1877." Inspection.—The examination and inspection of the schools have been duly carried out in conformity with the departmental regulations. The pupils entered on the schedules as belonging to the schools at the date of the examination numbered 5,732, and of these 3,731, or 65*1 per cent., were presented in standards. For the year 1889 the numbers were— (a) Belonging to the schools,

65

E.—]

5,691; (b) presented in standards, 3,739. The total number of standard passes for the year was fewer by seventy-nine than for the previous year ; but the average efficiency is somewhat higher, as these results are exclusive of forty-seven ex-Standard VI. pupils, most of whom attend the secondary department of the District High School, and do work of a higher character than that required for Sixth. Standard pupils. With regard to the work done in the different schools, the Inspector points out that sickness has hindered somewhat the style of the work in the upper standards, but that on the whole the progress is satisfactory. He suggests there should be held, what the Board has already recommended to the Minister, viz. : a meeting of the Inspectors to confer and report to the Minister of Education how a uniform interpretation of the standard requirements can be best procured. The absence of uniformity in the interpretation as to what constitutes a standard pass makes it necessary that some definite understanding should be arrived at by the Inspectors, and this can only be done by a conference such as the Board recommended in February, 1890. Scholarships.—The examination for scholarships took place in December. In former years the scholarships were given on the result of the Sixth Standard examination, a synchronous examination being held for the purpose in November each year; but on the recommendation of the Inspector it was decided to revert to the old plan of examining the pupils in Standards V. and VI., and so the special examination for scholarships became a necessity. Amended scholarship regulations have already been approved by the Education Department. In December forty-six candidates presented themselves for examination, and eleven scholarships were granted by the Board and seven by the School Commissioners. Gisborne District High School.—The Gisborne District High School, which was constituted three years ago, is being carried on with commendable success. The Governors of the Gisborne High School, w7ho have no school of their own, subsidise the District High School to the extent of £150 per annum for a term of seven years. This sum, with the fees of the pupils, exceeds the amount actually required for the maintenance of a special master to teach the higher subjects, and arrangements have been made for the establishment of several secondary scholarships, the funds to be provided out of the accumulated funds standing to the credit of the secondary department of the school. At the matriculation examination in December last five of the Board's scholarship pupils at the end of their second year successfully passed the requirements. Needlework. —The synchronous examination of the sewing done by the pupils attending the Board schools still continues, and, as the table of results shows, the subject is taught with much care and success by a majority of the lady teachers engaged by the Board. The Inspector points out that much extra time is given by the lady teachers to placing work ready for the girls on sewing afternoons, and complaints are frequent as to the additional work imposed on the girls beyond the ordinary standard requirements. The Board has already recommended to the Minister, in a special communication, that sewing should be taken as an alternative for history in the case of girls. In their reports for the year, the sewing-examiners make recommendations with respect to special sewing-tests being given to girls at the time of the Inspector's visits to the different schools, but the course suggested is hardly possible at the present time. The subject, however, will be further considered at a future date. School Libraries.—There are a number of school libraries in this district, and the circular which was issued by the Department of Education some months ago appears to have acted as an incentive to teachers, and at least five new libraries have been established on the lines suggested in the circular. Fourteen schools have each a library for the benefit of the pupils only. They are Ormond, Matawhero, Te Arai, Gisborne, Frasertown, Wairoa, Petane, Meanee, Taradale, Puketapu, Patangata, Porangahau, Norsewood, and Woodville. Building Fund. —No work of any kind has been attempted in the way of school buildings during the year. The grant received from the Government barely sufficed to meet the Board's overdraft on account of school buildings incurred in previous years, and it was found impossible to proceed with needful repairs to schoolhouses and residences without incurring a further overdraft, and this the Board steadfastly declined to do. As pointed out a year ago, a large amount of expenditure is wanted in this district to provide new buildings and to repair old ones. In the month of June a return was sent to the department showing that the sum of £7,527 was then needed to complete the building requirements, and this has been further increased by the demands received from Committees since that date. At Napier and Gisborne rooms have been hired for more than twelve months for the accommodation of pupils ; and the instruction of children in a number of other schools has been, and is being, carried on under great disadvantages. Many residences are wanted for teachers, and numerous applications have been made for the erection of buildings in new settlements, but nothing could be done by the Board in consequence of the inability of the Government to supply the necessary funds. Income and Expenditure.—The whole income of the Board for the year, including building grant, with fees and subsidy on account of the Gisborne District High School, was £20,936 ss. 9d. Of this amount, £18,801 12s. 3d. was General Fund provided for the ordinary work of carrying on the schools and for inspection, and £2,134 13s. 6d. was building grant. The General Fund w7as augmented by a balance in hand of £1,834 15s. Id., making a total of £22,771 os. lOd. 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-alkrwance, scholarships, instruction of pupil-teachers, and inspection, amounted to £18,840 19s. Id., out of which the sum of £53 Bs. 2d. was paid to the Building Fund, and leaving a balance in hand to the credit of the General Fund of £1,742 os. Id. -The Building Fund w Tas as follows : Income —General Government grant, &c, £2,188 Is. Bd. Expenditure, £434 lis. 6d., which, added to the balance debit from last year of £2,142 4s. 9d., amounts to £2,576 16s. 3d., leaving a balance debit at the close of the year of £388 14s. 7d. The sum of £2,850 has been received this month, consequently the Building Fund is really £2,461 ss. sd. in credit, but this amount will be more than absorbed in providing for the most urgent requirements. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. D. Ormond, Chairman. 9—E. 1.

MABLBOBOtJGH. Sir, — Education Board Office, Blenheim, 7th April, 1891. I have the honour to forward to you the report of the Board of Education for the District of Marlborough for the year ending 31st December, 1890. The Board.—There was no change in the members of the Board, the three retiring in rotation being re-elected. The names of the members were Mr. A. P. Seymour (Chairman), the Hon. Colonel Baillie, M.L.C., Messrs. Carter, Hutcheson, Mills, Parker, Paul, H. C. Seymour, and Ward. The Board held thirteen meetings during the year. Schools. —The number of schools at work during the year was thirty-six, of which nineteen were "aided" schools. J. C. Chaytor, Esq., of Marshlands, having temporarily let a piece of ground as a school site in a locality where a school was wanted, and having granted a liberal donation of £100 towards the building, the Board has erected a combined school and dwelling-house, and has opened the school, which is now doing good work. The Board wishes that power may be given to exchange with Mr. Chaytor the site on which the school is built for an education reserve situated in the Waitohi Valley, and hopes the Minister will take such a course as he may deem fit to carry into effect the exchange. Attendance.—On the 31st December, 1889, the weekly number on the rolls was 1,854, and the average attendance 1,393. At the end of the year 1890 these had increased respectively to 1,947 on the rolls, and 1,500 in average attendance. Teachers.—The staff at the end of the year consisted of fifty-nine teachers of all grades, twenty-eight being males and thirty-one females. We have also one sewing-mistress in addition. Scholarships.—The two scholarships at the Nelson College are now held by Claud Houghton Mills, in his second year, and by William Litchfield, the winner at the last examination. Finance.—The accounts show a debit balance at the end of the year of £239 4s. sd. This has arisen from the fact that the building grant allotted to us for the last two years has been insufficient for the wants of the district. During the year 1888 we just managed to keep the cost of our buildings within the grant, but since the close of that year we had, up to December last, received only £1,211 15s. 3d., of which £450 was granted for the teacher's house destroyed by fire. The Board was also compelled to expend a large sum (in excess of the grant made for that purpose) for the rent of schools during the building of the new school at Blenheim ; and altogether our expenses, though the various w 7orks were carried out in the most careful and thrifty manner possible, had exceeded £2,300; in fact, the whole of the grant intended for use in the year 1891 is entirely spent. Office Staff.—An important change has been made during this year in the official staff of the Board. About the middle of the year Mr. W. C. Hodgson, who for twelve years had acted as joint Inspector of Schools for the Nelson and Marlborough Districts, finding that the increase in the number of schools to be visited was likely to prove too much for the time at his disposal, to the great regret of the Board, found himself obliged to send in his resignation of his office of Inspector to our district. The Board then resolved to combine the offices of Inspector and Secretary in one person, and is glad to be able to report that, although very loth to lose the services of their old Inspector, which w7ere very highly valued, it has been fortunate enough, out of forty-two applicants, to secure the services of Mr. John Smith, who for sixteen years has occupied a similar position in the Educational District of Westland. Inspector's Beport.—Mr. Hodgson's engagements with the Nelson Board compelled him to examine a portion of the Marlborough schools at the beginning of each year; but it has been decided for the future to hold the annual examinations as near to the end of the school year as possible; consequently there will be no Inspector's report from this district for'the year 1890, the schools examined by Mr. Eodgson in that year being included in the report for 1889. I have, &c, A. P. Seymour, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

NELSON. Sir,— Nelson, 4th March, 1891. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board during the year ending 31st December, 1890. Meetings of the Board.—The Board has held twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting during the year, the average attendance at each meeting being eight. The Board now consists of the following members : The Bishop of Nelson (Chairman), the Hon. Joseph Shephard, Messrs. Joseph E. Harkness, M.H.8., S. Clayden, H. A. Tarrant, W. H. Phillips, jun.,C. Dencker, Bichmond Hursthouse, G. Talbot. Schools.—Ninety-four schools were at work during the December quarter of 1890, being an increase of three on the previous year's list. Thirty of these schools are " aided " or household schools, having in all an average daily attendance of only 428, or, one with another, of fourteen each. Teaching Staff.—One hundred and seventy-three teachers of all grades were on the staff at the close of the year. Of these, sixty are male and 113 female teachers. Forty-five are classified as probationers (equivalent to pupil-teachers). Attendance of Scholars. —The number of scholars on the roll at the end of 1890 was 5,835, being an increase of eighty-six on the previous year. The average attendance at the same period was 4,482, a decrease of seven. School-books. —The Board having discovered that some of their teachers were in the habit of introducing into their schools books which were neither included in the Board's published list nor always judiciously selected, and that this was made a subject of complaint by parents, teachers have been prohibited from introducing any book not on. the authorised list. The list itself is also being gradually so reduced as to offer little more than an alternative reading-book for each class, in order that the annual cost of books to each scholar may be brought down to the lowest • sum consistent with efficiency. . I have, &c, Andrew Burn Nelson, Bishop of Nelson. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

GBEY. g IE Education Office, Greymouth, Bth April, 1891. The Board has the honour to present a report of its proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1890, as required by clause 102 of the Education Act. Bqard.—At the date of the last annual report, the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. Nancarrow, Barkley, White, and Marshall (nominated), aiifl Messrs. Kerr, Petrie, and Smith (elected). The election held in March resulted in the return of Messrs. Kerr, Petrie, and Byrne. Messrs. Nancarrow, Marshall, White, and Barkley were re-nominated. The death of Mr. Barkley, in April, caused a vacancy on the Board, which was filled by the nomination of Mr. Smith. At the "meeting held on Bth April, 1890, Mr. Kerr was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. Mr. Nancarrow was re-elected to represent the Board on the Greymouth High School Board.° The Board held thirteen meetings during the year—twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting. The respective attendances were as follows : Nancarrow, 13; Petrie, 13; Kerr, 12; White, 11; Smith, 11; Marshall, 10 ; Byrne, 8 ; Barkley, 5. School Districts. —At the end of the year there were still seventeen school districts. Teaching Staff. —The number of teachers was the same as at the end of 1889. At the end of the year there were eight uncertificated teachers in the employ of the Board, as against thirteen at the end of 1889. Attendance. —The following table gives the average weekly roll-number and the average attendance for each quarter from 1885 to 1890 :—

The weekly roll-number therefore shows an increase of 0-28 per cent., and the average attendance an increase of 2*22 per cent. Finance. —For general purposes, the Board received during the year £5,749 10s. 2d., and expended £6,065 18s. 9d. The debit balance on the Ist January, 1890, was £124 19s. 10d., and on the 31st December, £316 Bs. 7d. On Building Account, the Board received during the year £592 Is., and expended £1,083 3s. 9d. The debit balance on the Ist January, 1890, was £508 18s. 3d., and on the 31st December £491 2s. 9d. No new buildings were erected during the year, but grants for repairs, &c, were given to all schools excepting Kynnersley, Bed Jack's, Maori Gully, and Marsden. General. —The unsatisfactory condition of the school buildings was referred to in the report for 1889, and the lapse of another year has not improved matters. The funds placed at the Board's disposal are quite inadequate to meet the necessities of the district. Table 6 gives in detail a statement of requirements, the total amount being £2,884, and nothing less than that amount is sufficient to place the school buildings in a state of thorough renovation, and to supply the additional space urgently needed at several schools. The Board would respectfully impress upon you the desirability of a liberal grant being allowed, so that the Board may prevent the further progress of decay and dilapidation. Several buildings have not been painted for fully ten years ; whereas our climate renders a coat of paint necessary at least at intervals of three years. The Board found at the end of the June quarter that there was a considerable diminution in average attendance, especially at the Greymouth School. The Board therefore decided to reduce the staff of that school, and, after very careful deliberation, resolved to dispense with the services of the head teacher, and to transfer two pupil-teachers to other schools. The proposal met with very energetic opposition from the Greymouth School Committee, but was ultimately carried into effect without injury to the efficiency of the school. At the end of the year seventeen pupil-teachers were in the employment of the Board. The Government programme of instruction was adopted by the Board in 1888, and the result is decidedly satisfactory. The Board has found it necessary on several occasions to transfer pupil-teachers and junior assistants from the Greymouth School to the schools at Taylorville, Dobson, and Bichardson. Their salaries being small, the charge for railway-travelling presses heavily, and the Board would ask you to consider the advisability of granting free passes to these teachers. The regulations relating to inspection and examination have been fully complied with by the Board's Inspector, the results being fully set forth in the Inspector's annual report. Four scholarships were competed for in January, 1890 —two for country schools and two for town schools. The two town scholars and one country competitor did very good work, the work of the other country competitor being rather weak. The scholarships were awarded, and the scholars are attending the Greymouth District High School. The Board desires to express its appreciation of the good work performed by the teachers, as shown in the Inspector's report, and w7hile doing so would respectfully draw your attention to the low salaries paid in this district as compared with those in most other parts of the colony; and w 7ould ask you to devise some means by which more equality of payment may be secured. The Board also wishes to give

recognition to the assistance rendered by the various Committees in carrying out the provisions of the Act. The period—three years —for which the cadet employed in the Board's office was engaged terminating on March 31st, 1891, the Board decided to offer the appointment to be competed for by scholars attending the Sixth or Seventh Standard, the engagement to be for three years, salary £30, £40, and £50 respectively per annum. Six scholars only competed—one from Orwell Creek School, three from Dobson School, and two from Greymouth School. Ben Warnes, of the Greymouth School, was the successful competitor, gaining 741 marks out of a possible total of 885. James Binney, of the Dobson School, was a very close second with 739 marks. Ben Warnes also won a towm scholarship this year, and won the Watkins gold medal competed for annually by scholars attending the Greymouth School. There is therefore no doubt that the cadetship is the reward of merit. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. James Kerr, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir,— Hokitika, 31st March, 1891. I have the honour to submit the report of the Education Board of the District of Westland for the year ending 31st December, 1890. The Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following persons: Messrs. Jack, Seddon, and Will, elected members, and Messrs. Bevan, Griinmond, Mueller, and McWhirter, nominated by Government. At the first election, in March, under " The Westland and Grey Education Boards Act, 1888," the retiring members—Messrs. Jack, Seddon, and Will—were re-elected, and Government again nominated Messrs. Bevan, Griinmond, Mueller, and McWhirter. Gerhard Mueller, Esq., was unanimously re-elected Chairman, and was appointed a member of the Westland School Commissioners. McLean Watt Jack, Esq., was re-elected Treasurer; John Bevan, Esq., was appointed a member of the Board of Governors of the Hokitika High School. During the year eleven ordinary monthly meetings and seven special meetings were held. The ordinary monthly meeting which should have been held on Bth April, lapsed for want of a quorum. The avei'age attendance of members at the meetings actually held was five ; and the attendance of the individual members was as follows : Mr. Bevan, 14; Mr. Griinmond, 7 ; Mr. Jack, 18 ; Mr. Mueller, 14; Mr. McWhirter, 13 ; Mr. Seddon, 10; and Mr. Will, 14. Teachers. —There are now sixty-six teachers in the Board's employ, classed as follows: Ten head male teachers, one head female teacher, seven male teachers in sole charge of schools, eleven female teachers in sole charge of schools, two assistant male teachers, nine assistant female teachers, six male pupil-teachers, fifteen female pupil-teachers, and five monitors. Besides these, there are two sewing-mistresses—one at the Blue Spur School, and the other at the Gillespie's School. Eighteen of the Board's teachers above the rank of pupil-teachers are uncertificated. During the year a change has taken place in the management of the two principal schools —Mr. J. J. Patterson, 8.A., head teacher of the Kumara School, resigned, and w 7as succeeded by Mr. T. A. Walker, of W Taimataitai; and Mr. E. B. Dixon, head teacher of the Hokitika School, was promoted to the office of Inspector and Secretary to the Board, and was succeeded by Mr. J. Gammell, 8.A., London University. Schools and Attendances. —There are now thirty-two schools open in this district, including seven "aided" schools, and six half-time schools. Two new schools have been opened during the year—one at Kawhaka, in the Humphrey's School District, and the other at the Waiho Biver, South W Testland. The latter is an " aided " school, and is worked as a half-time school with the Waikukupa aided school. The attendance returns for this year show a decrease in the strict average attendance amounting to nearly two hundred as compared with the returns for 1889. The Board has repeatedly

E.—l

70

directed School Committees' attention to the irregular attendance of a large number of scholars, with a request that they should make an effort to remedy the evil. It is difficult to induce a Committee to take firm action under sections 91 to 93 of the Act, but if this w 7ere done in one or two well-chosen cases the effect on other offenders of the same class would no doubt be most salutary. School Buildings.—During the year a new school was built at Kawhaka; the schools at Bangiriri, Stafford, Arahura Boad, and Blue Spur, and the teacher's residence at Woodstock, were painted ; additions were made to the schools at Blue Spur and Haast; considerable improvements and repairs to the schools at Kumara, Hokitika, Boss, and Goldsborough; and a few minor repairs to the schools at Stafford, Arahura Boad, Kanieri, Woodstock, Blue Spur, Humphrey's, Donoghue's, Waitangi, and Haast. The total expenditure on buildings was £481 4s. 7d. Scholarships.—Up to the present time two scholarships, each of the annual value of £50, have been offered by the Board; but now that the Hokitika State School has, under the 55th clause of " The Education Act, 1877," been converted into a district high school, new scholarship regulations have been drawn up, and have received the approval of the Minister of Education. Under these regulations scholarships are offered, of a total annual value not exceeding the amount available from Government for scholarship purposes, to be competed for annually by scholars attending public schools in Westland, and tenable for two years at the Hokitika District High School. The scholarships henceforth awarded are at the rate of £8 for a town scholar and £23 for a country scholar. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers wras held in December. The following statement shows the number of pupil-teachers who came up for examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed : Fourth year—four presented, four passed; third year— four presented, four passed; second year —seven presented, seven passed; first year—one presented, one failed. Two candidates—one of fourth and one of second year's service—passed with credit. Inspection.—Mr. John Smith, who has held the position of Secretary and Inspector to the Board since the introduction of the national system of education in New Zealand, has accepted the post of Secretary and Inspector to the Marlborough Board of Education. While having to regret the loss of such a valuable officer, the Board had the pleasing opportunity of promoting one of its teachers, Mr. E. B. Dixon, who entered its service in the same year in which Mr. Smith received his appointment as Inspector to the Westland Board. For further information respecting the state of education in this district the Board has the honour to refer you to the Inspector's report. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Gerhard Mueller, Chairman.

NOBTH CANTEBBUBY. Sir,— Christchurch, 31st March, 1891. 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 ending the 31st December, 1890. The Board. —The three members who retired at the end of March, 1890, were Mr. Chrystall, Mr. Peryman, and Mr. Weston, of whom Mr. Chrystall did not offer himself for re-election. At an election held on the 6th March, Mr. Peryman, Mr. Meredith, and Mr. Weston we're returned to fill the three ordinary vacancies. An extraordinary vacancy occurred through the resignation, followed shortly afterwards by the death, of Mr. A. H. Cunningham, who had held a seat on the Board since March, 1880, and in whom its members lost an experienced and esteemed colleague, w7ho had been distinguished for his long and earnest exertions in the cause of education. On the 17th April Mr,

71

E.-l

John Joyce was elected to fill the vacancy. At the same meeting Mr. Peryman was elected Chairman of the Board, Mr. Weston, Mr. Anson, and Mr. Saunders members of the Appointments Committee, and Mr. Westenra, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Joyce members of the Buildings Committee. The former committee resigned on the 19th June, and for some time its functions were discharged by the Board as a whole; but, subsequently, on the 11th September, it was resolved to reconstitute the Appointments Committee, to which Mr. Anson, Mr. Meredith, and Mr. Weston were elected. On the 10th July, the hour for holding the ordinary meetings of the Board was changed from 2 p.m. to 11 a.m. The Board met twenty times during the year, including two special meetings; the Buildings Committee met eighteen times; and the Appointments Committee thirty times. School Buildings.—No new districts were formed during the year ; but tow 7ards its close preliminary steps were taken for the formation of districts at Winchmore, Waltham, New Brighton (Beach), and Doyleston. New schools w 7ere built at Little Biver and New Brighton; a site was acquired for a school at Waltham ; additions were made to the schools at Clarkville, Hampstead, Ladbrooke's, and Waikari; and considerable improvements and repairs to the schools atAshburton, Brookside, Christchurch East, Christchurch W Test, Kowai Bush, Loburn, Lyttelton, Pigeon Bay, Southbridge, Templeton, View Hill, Wainui, Winslow, and the Normal School. The total expenditure on buildings was £5,131 2s. lOd. Maintenance of Schools.—The expenditure on teachers' salaries (including all allowances) amounted during the year 1890 to £51,606 7s. Id., and the grants to Committees for incidental expenses to £6,615 13s. Id., making a total of £58,221 os. 2d. The average attendance for the year was 17,044. The cost per head for teachers' salaries was therefore £3 os. 6-J-d.; and the total cost of 'maintaining the schools, including all incidental expenses, was £3 Bs. 3fd. per head. For the year 1889 the cost of salaries was £3 os. 2Jd. per head ; and of the total cost of maintenance, £3 7s. lid. The slight increase in expenditure on salaries results from a revision of the scale adopted by the Board on the 6th March, which made some addition to the salaries of the teachers in charge of schools with an average of less than forty. The following table shows the expenditure on salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878 [only partially reprinted] : — Year. Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d. 1878 31,919 0 0 ... 6,276 C 9 ... 38,195 6 9 1888 50,749 14 6 ... 6,400 7 5 ... 57,150 6 3 1890 51,606 7 1 ... 6,615 13 1 ... 58,221 0 2 Table No. 7* gives the amount spent in each school district for both salaries and incidentals, and the names and salaries of the teachers employed in each school. The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year (besides forty-two sewing-mistresses) was 535, viz. : heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge—l36 males, 55 females ; assistants—32 males, 123 females; pupil-teachers —57 males, 132 females. Attendance. —The number of school districts at the end of 1890 w 7as 146, and the number of separate schools, including the practising department of the Normal School, was 163. Of these, one, at Gough's Bay, was an '' aided " school; another, at Winchmore, had been for some time carried on upon the footing of an " aided " school, but, in consequence of the number of children in regular attendance, was, towards the end of the year, raised to the position of an ordinary district school. The schools were classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, nine; 15 and under 20 pupils, six; 20 and under 25 pupils, fourteen; 25 and under 50 pupils, fifty-two; 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-six ; 75 and under 100 pupils, seventeen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, eleven ; 150 and under 300 pupils, sixteen; 300 and under 500 pupils, six; 500 pupils and upwards, six. Returns of the number and ages of the children, and of the number receiving instruction in each subject, are appended. The following table shows the total number of children on the rolls, the number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance for each year since the Education Act came into operation [only partially reprinted] : — Quarter ended District Aided Total ~ ~ ~ Average TJ , 31st December.

It is gratifying to find that the proportion of children presented in standards is on the increase, and that, with the exception of the two highest standards, in which the results are somewhat inferior to those of last year, the Inspectors can report a fair advance in efficiency and general attainment. During the year the Board had before it a question relating to the conduct of Inspectors' examinations, and came to the conclusion that it would be better if the test-cards, now prepared by the Inspectors of each district for their own use, were drawn up by the department. Such an arrangement, it was considered, would secure more uniformity in the examinations, would be more satisfactory to the teaching profession, and would be less liable to produce friction between the teachers and the Inspectors. Normal School.—The Normal School has continued to make satisfactory progress. At the Inspectors' examination, the practising school took a creditable place among the large city schools. In the training department, thirty-eight students (four senior and thirty-four junior) were admitted at the beginning of the year, of •whom ten had matriculated and pursued their studies at Canterbury College. Of the twenty-eight for whose instruction the tutors of the training department are entirely responsible nineteen entered for the matriculation examination in December last, and all succeeded in passing; while all the students, with the exception of one, who was obliged to retire

on account of illness, passed wholly or in part the examination for certificates. The number of students admitted for the current year was forty, making the full complement, as the last of the pupil-teachers employed in the Normal School has now completed her engagement. School-books.—The Board has given much attention during the year to the subject of schoolbooks. This question had been partly dealt with two years before, when the Board prescribed certain reading-books as those authorised for use in schools ; but it was now resolved not to confine the selection to reading-books, but to determine what books should be sanctioned by the Board in all the various subjects of instruction. A committee w 7as appointed, who inquired very carefully into the matter, and brought up a report, which is printed in full in the Appendix. [Not reprinted.] Without insisting on absolute uniformity, the committee decided on approving, in nearly all cases, not more than tw 7o books on each subject, selecting those already in most general use, and eliminating a large number of books of inferior merit or less commonly used. They also made strong recommendations in favour of agricultural chemistry and a simple form of book-keeping being taught in our public schools. The Board adopted this report on the 11th September, 1890. Its provisions will come into operation throughout the district in the course of the present year, taking effect in each school immediately after the annual examination. Compulsory Clauses.—The question of compulsory education has also engaged the attention of the Board. The employment of truant officers having been suggested, the Board consulted the School Committees, from whose replies it appeared a general opinion that in country districts such officials were not required, and the Board finally decided on not making any appointment. But a resolution was passed and forwarded to the Education Department expressing the opinion of the Board that the bringing into force and the carrying out of the compulsory clauses of the Education Act should not be left to the option of the School Committees, and that the Act should be amended so as to bring the compulsory clauses into full operation in every school district, and to require children to attend school for at least twothirds of each quarterly school-term. > Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships for Classes A and B was on this occasion, in pursuance of a resolution passed by the Board, held on the 19th and 20th December, 1889, and the examination of Classes C and D was held on the 29th and 30th April and Ist and 2nd May, 1890. The number of candidates examined for Classes A and B was 130—sixty-eight (forty-five boys and twenty-three girls) in Class A, and sixty-two (forty-four boys and eighteen girls) in Class B. In Classes C and D eleven w 7ere examined—six (three boys and. three girls) in Class C, and five (all girls) in Class D. Scholarships were awarded to [four boys and three girls] in Class A ; [four boys and one girl] in Class B ; [three boys] in Class C ; [two girls] in Class I). The scholarships current at the end of 1890 were held as shown in the following table [not reprinted]. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. H. W. Peryman, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTERBUBY. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1891. In accordance with the 102nd 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 ending 31st December, 1890. Board.—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members : The Bev. Geo. Barclay, J.P., the Bev. Thos. Jasper Smyth, Mr. Melville Gray, J.P., Mr. Eichard Alfred Barker, Mr. John Talbot, J.P., Mr. John Jackson, J.P., Mr. William Barker Howell, J.P., Mr. Bobort Henry Pearpoint, J.P., and Mr. Samuel W'illiam Goldsmith (Chairman). On the 31st

73

E.—l

March the Bev. T. Jasper Smyth, Messrs. William Barker Howell, and Eichard Alfred Barker retired in terms of section 15 of the Act. The following gentlemen were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies, viz.: The Bev. T. Jasper Smyth, retiring member; Mr. William Barker Howell, retiring member; Mr. Bichard Alfred Barker, retiring member; Mr. William Chisholm. The voting resulted in the re-election of the retiring members. No extraordinary vacancies occurred during the year. At the monthly meeting of the Board on the 3rd day of April, Mr. Samuel William Goldsmith was re-elected Chairman for the sixth time in succession. Twelve regular meetings of the Board were held during the year, the day of meeting being the first Thursday in each month, except in January, when the Board met on the third Thursday. The average attendance for the year was 7. The officers of the Board were the same as at the end of last year. Schools.—On the 31st December, 1890, there were fifty-six schools in operation, being an increase of four new districts (Waitaki, Seadown, Arundel, and Waterfalls) opened during the year. Of these fifty-six schools, the classification was as follows : Under 25 pupils, fourteen; between 25 and 50 pupils, twenty-seven ; between 50 and 100 pupils, eight; between 100 and 300 pupils, five; between 300 and 500 pupils, one; over 500 pupils, one. The number of schools open at the end of the year was fifty-six, and of this number none were half-time schools, nor were any schools closed during the year. The number of " aided " schools was fourteen. Attendance. —From the accompanying return it will be seen that there is still a steady increase in the number of scholars attending the Board's schools. The average attendance for the year was 4,881, as against 4,858 in the previous year. The ratio of average attendance to roll-number is still about 79. The following table shows the attendance in the district since the Board was established [only partially reprinted]:—

Finance. —The balance-sheet, duly certified by the Auditor-General, is appended. The Building Account shows a debit balance of £1,158 7s. 4d., which will be repaid out of the building grant of £1,800 for the year, which has since been placed to the credit of the Board, really leaving the Building Fund in credit £641 12s. Bd. to meet the exigencies and contingencies of the next twelve months. The Maintenance Account show's a balance of £1,444 7s. 2d., but the sum of £1,118 4s. has to be deducted therefrom on account of advances received from reserves revenue, leaving a balance of £326 3s. 2d. to actual credit. This balance, however, may be supplemented by the sum of £1,158 7s. 4d. due from the Building Account, as well as of £112 payable on account of contributions from School Committees. Buildings.—During the past year the Board has rebuilt and partly refurnished the school at Geraldine, on a new site, having, by authority of the Governor, sold its reserves within the township for this purpose. New schools also have been built at Arundel, Seadown, Waitaki, and Hakateramea, as well as assistance furnished towards establishing a side-school for Hazelburn at Waterfalls, and rebuilding master's residence at Hazelburn. Grants have been made in aid of planting at Bangitata Island and at Glenavy. A new ceiling, &c, has been put in at the South Orari School. The Timaru Main School has been re-stained, re-painted, and repaired; the drains have been taken up and relaid; the ridging of the infant school has been replaced; the master's house has been re-painted; a curtain put up in the main school; the janitor's house has been repaired, and the water brought in. The side-school also has had certain necessary repairs executed. New7 furniture has been made for Hakateramea, Arundel, Seadown, Waitaki, Waiinate, and Wai-iti (with a curtain). The school at Mount Gay has been removed to Plazelburn, and a master's residence has been built there. New wells have been sunk and pumps furnished to Orari Bridge, Pleasant Point, and Belfield; and grants for various exigencies have been made to Claremont, Fairview, Gapes Valley, Makikihi, Waihao, Fairlie Creek, Hook, Waituna Creek, and Hilton. New sites have been purchased at Seadown and Hazelburn. Surveys have been made of Seadowm, Washdyke, Waihao, and Hazelburn. The Kingsdown, Waitohi Flat, Pleasant Point, Waihao, Hook, and Bangitata Island Schools have been painted, and new ranges furnished to Hunter and Bangitata South ;

besides new charts, maps, and material, &c, to a large number of schools. The Board has sent in, at the request of the Government, a supplementary estimate showing what works were required, with the degree of urgency, which the present building grant would not enable it to overtake. The return was furnished showing three tables in degree of urgency. The amount of the first was £3,800; the less urgent, £2,355; and what could stand over for a while, without inconvenience, £5,035 : making a grand total of £11,190 to put the school buildings of this district in thoroughly good order and maintenance. Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships took place in January, the examiners being a committee of gentlemen and teachers acting in conjunction with the Board's Inspector. On the report of the examiners the following new scholarships were granted : [Five at £34, one at £24, and six at £4.] District High Schools. —It appears from the Inspector's report on the district high schools that twenty-one scholars were examined in secondary subjects at Waimate, and nine at Temuka. The subjects taken at Waimate were English, Latin, French, 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. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in July. The follow7ing statement shows the number of pupil-teachers who sat for examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed : Fourth year —6 presented, 5 passed, 1 failed ; third year—4 presented, 4 passed; second year—l4 presented, 14 passed ; first year—B presented, 7 passed, 1 failed.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, 9th February, 1891. I have the honour to submit the following report on the District High Schools of Waimate and Temuka. Twenty-one scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and nine at Temuka. Miss M. Miller, one of the Waimate scholars, has been successful in passing the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University. The following table shows the subjects taught, the number of pupils examined, the marks gained by each class, and the amount of work done in each subject :—

75

E.—l

Waimate. English. —The reading of passages selected from " Hamlet" was marked by intelligence and expression, and the explanations were given with clearness, fulness, and accuracy. In the written examination, while most of the scholars acquitted themselves well, three or four of the older ones did papers of exceptional merit. Latin. —The pupils who took the advanced work translated passages from the prescribed works into English w 7ith almost faultless accuracy, and in retranslation and in sentences set to test their knowledge of Latin idioms they evinced considerable skill. W Tith one or two exceptions, the papers of the junior classes were very well done. French. —Of the papers in French, two were very good and one.good. Euclid. —ln the advanced class one paper was excellent, the other fair. The only paper in the Second Course was good, and a very good paper was handed in by the only representative of the senior section of the First Course. In the junior section of the First Course two papers were excellent, three very good, and two fair. Algebra. —The work done by the advanced and third-year classes was excellent. The pupils taking the Second Course fared badly, as did also three of those taking the junior section of the First Course. The papers of the others ranged from good to excellent. Temuka. Latin. —An average mark of 83 per cent, for all the papers in Latin attests the high quality of the work done. There was not a single weak paper in the lot. French. —In French, two papers w7ere very good, two good, and two of very little value. Euclid. —In Euclid, two excellent papers were given in, one by a pupil taking the Second Course, and the other by one taking the senior section of the First Course. Two papers were marked 55 and 54 per cent, respectively, and the remaining papers averaged 24 per cent. Algebra. —ln this subject the only pupil in the Second Course gained full marks with an excellent paper. None of the pupils in the other classes showed to advantage, the highest marks obtained being 60 per cent., and the average marks 38 per cent. I have, &c, Jas.

OTAGO. Sir, — Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1891. In accordance w 7ith section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit, for the year 1890, the following report on educational matters in the district under its control:— Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Dr. Hislop, Messrs. James Green, James Fulton, M. Fraer, John W. Jago, James Macgregor, Henry Clark, John McKeuzie, and the Hon. Thomas Dick. Dr. Hislop, Messrs. Green, and Fulton were the members who retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Seven candidates were nominated for the vacancies, and the voting, in February, resulted in the re-election of Mr. Green and Dr. Hislop, and the election of Dr. W. M. Stenhouse in the room of Mr. James Fulton. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Mr. Macgregor was appointed Chairman. The Board held twenty-seven meetings during the year. The Hon. Thomas Dick and the Hon. John McKenzie represented the Board on the High School Board of Governors, and Mr. Neil Fleming was the Board's representative on the Waitaki High School Board for the year. Number op Schools.—At the close of 1889 there were 190 schools in operation. In the course of the year new schools were opened at Nenthorn, Windsor, and Bort Moeraki; the number of schools, therefore, in operation at the end of the year was 193. A new school was sanctioned, and buildings were in course of erection, at Henley when the year closed. A large number of applications for the establishment of schools, chiefly in newly- and sparsely-settled districts, are still under consideration. The claims of the settlers in several of these districts are entitled to every consideration, but, however willing the Board may be to assist, the small sum at its disposal for the erection of buildings will, it is feared, prevent the Board from providing the means of education in any but one or two of the most pressing cases. The following statement shows the classification of schools according to average attendance : Under 15 pupils, ten ; 15 and under 20 pupils, thirteen ; 20 and under 25 pupils, seventeen; 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty-nine*; 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-eight; 75 and. under 100 pupils, thirteen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, fourteen ; 150 and under 300 pupils, ten ; 300 and under 500 pupils, eight; 500 and upwards, eleven. Teachers.—At the end of the year there were 531 teachers in the Board's service, classed as under : Male head teachers, 143; male assistant teachers, 54; male pupil-teachers, 63 ; female head teachers and mistresses, 128 ; female assistant teachers, 43 ; female pupil-teachers, 88 ; female teachers of sewing, 12. This shows an increase of seven teachers for the year, nearly all of whom are female head teachers or assistants. Pupil-teachers.—There were 151 pupil-teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year. The annual examination took place as usual in December. The following statement shows the number that sat at the examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed : First class—thirtynine presented, thirty-five passed, four failed, one absent; second class—thirty-one presented, twenty-six passed, five failed ; third class —thirty-five presented, thirty-four passed, one failed, two absent; fourth class—forty-two presented, thirty-eight passed, four failed, one absent. It will be seen that fourteen failed to pass the annual examination, a number considerably larger than that for some years previous. The services of two pupil-teachers were dispensed with for failing twice to pass the requisite examination. 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 thirty-seven schools wore handed over to the newly-formed Board :—

From the foregoing table it would appear that 314 more pupils were enrolled in the Dunedin schools last year than during the previous year, while the average attendance at the same schools was forty-seven less than for the year 1889. The total enrolments in the whole district show an increase of 661, while the average attendance is 242 less than for the previous year. The decline in the average attendance was altogether in the first two quarters of the year, when the attendance fell in the March quarter 491, and in the June quarter 532, under that of the last quarter of the previous year. This falling-off was due to the prevalence of la grippe in the district during the first half of the year. It is impossible to tell with any degree of accuracy the number of children who are growing up in this education district without receiving the benefits of an elementary education. Nowhere is there any regular system of enforcing the compulsory clauses of the Act, though fitful efforts are here and there made to deal with cases of gross neglect on the part of parents and guardians to

send the children under their charge regularly to school. These measures are attended with but small success ; and there is little doubt that a large number of children are growing up without that training for the duties of life wdiich the public system of education provides; and this is specially true of the large centres of population, where schools are good, and most easy of access. The existing schools could w 7ith perfect ease overtake the education of the whole of this class of children, and some effective means of gathering them into the schools ought certainly to be adopted. The Truant Inspector has already made his appearance in some towns, and with good results; and the Committees and the police will doubtless resort to his services to a larger extent in the future. The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools in this district is as follow7s : Maoris —Eleven males, nine females; half-caste, or other children of mixed race living among Europeans—thirty-two males, twenty-eight females. The number of schools in which there are Maori or half-caste scholars, or those of mixed race, is twelve. Ages of Pupils.—The following table shows the number and ages of the pupils that attended the public schools in the district during the last quarter of the years 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, and 1890. [Not reprinted.] Scholarships.—Twenty scholarships—ten senior and ten junior—were offered for competition at the end of the year. Thirty-four candidates competed for the senior and seventy-eight for the junior scholarships. It is satisfactory to record that several of the Board's scholarship holders have again been successful in winning junior scholarships in connection with the New Zealand University. The privilege of free education at the Boys' and Girls' High Schools, hitherto enjoyed by scholarship holders, has been withdrawn by the Board of Governors, owing to the Board's financial position. Free education at the above schools —a scholarship of itself—is still granted to all candidates for senior scholarships who, although failing to win a scholarship, make 50 per cent, and over of the attainable marks. The amount expended on scholarships w ras : Paid to holders, £1,255 ; expenses of examination, £44 3s. 9d. During the year new regulations were adopted. These regulations were drawn up w 7ith the view of giving greater advantages to the children in the small country schools. Inspection.—All the schools that were opened throughout the year were examined; and all except four were visited for inspection, but five of those visited were found closed. The following is an abstract of the work done by the Inspectors during the year:—

Standards.—For examination in the standards 14,271 pupils were submitted. Of these, 13,915 were present, and 11,399 passed. The number of absentees was 356, or 2*5 per cent, of those presented. Of the 13,915 who were examined, 495, or nearly 3*6 per cent., were excepted — that is, they were not reckoned as passing or failing, and were left out of account in computing the percentage of failures. The percentage of passes in standards was 82, which is 2 per cent, below that obtained last year; the percentage of failures was 14, as against 13*8 for 1889, 15*3 for 1888, and 18 per cent, for 1887. The average percentage of marks for class-subjects was 54, and the average additional marks 69. The latter number is somewhat above and the former somewhat below that for several preceding years. Efficiency.—Of the 191 schools examined— 22 ( = 12 per cent.) had a percentage of failures ranging from ... oto 5 31 (= 16 per cent.) „ „ * ... 6 to 10 57 (= 30 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 11 to 20 40 (= 21 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 21 to 30 20 (= 10 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 31 to 40 13 ( = 7 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 41 to 50 8(= 4 per cent.) „ „ „ ... 51 to 62 The following are the twenty-two schools at w7hich the percentage of failures was 5 or less, with the number of pupils presented in each : — r, , i Percentage of -- T . -, „ , , Percentage of , T , .

This list, it will be noticed, contains schools of all sizes, from the largest to the smallest; the proportion of very small schools that find place in it is less than in previous years. In the following schools the percentage of failures was 50 and over: — _School. Pe paentL e.° f No. presented. School. P™S° f No.presented.

Of the 191 schools examined — 2( = 1 per cent.) gained from 72 to 70 per cent, of marks for class-subjects. 52 ( = 27 per cent.) „ 69 to 60 86 ( = 45 per cent.) „ 59 to 50 39 ( = 20 per cent.) „ 49 to 40 12 ( = 6 per cent.) „ 39 to 18 The two highest in this division of the school work were—Tarras, 72 per cent.; Moa Flat, 70 per cent. Both these schools were taught by young female teachers. Additional Subjects.—The marks assigned for additional subjects ranged from 101 to 25. The average was 69. Of the 191 schools examined— 10 ( = 5 per cent.) gained from ... ... 101 to 90 additional marks. 43 (=- 22 per cent.) „ ... ... ... 89 to 80 54 (= 28 per cent.) „ ... ... * ... 79 to 70 35 (= 19 per cent.) „ ... ... ... 69 to 60 33 (= 17 per cent.) „ ... ... ... 59 to 50 16 ( = 8 per cent.) „ ... ... ... 49 to 25 The ten highest were —Bannockburn, 101; Port Chalmers, 99 ; Cromwell, 97 ; Purakanui, 96 ; Lawrence, 94 ; Oamaru Middle, 93 ; Green Island, 92 ; Tokomairiro, 91; Albany Street, 90; Arthur Street, 90. The total of additional marks attainable was 120. The schools at which the marks gained were below 50 are without exception small schools, taught by a single teacher, in which the weight of the syllabus is most severely felt. Training College.—The report of the rector of the Training College is appended. Experience has proved beyond a doubt the very great value of the Training College as a means of securing a sufficient supply of well-educated and properly-trained teachers for the public schools. The Board feels so strongly in regard to this matter that it has strained a point, since the discontinuance of the Training Schools vote, to maintain the institution in Moray Place in a state of efficiency, in the hope that the Government and the Legislature will ere long see their way again to vote a grant in aid of training institutions in the larger centres of population. The Board would regard as a very great calamity the closing of the institution under its charge from want of sufficient funds, and would therefore strongly urge upon the Minister of Education his favourable consideration of this most important matter.

The classes w 7ere attended during the year by 393 students, viz.: 106 teachers and pupil-teachers, sixty-five students in training, seventy-nine pupils in the afternoon classes, and 143 artisans and other pupils in the evening. The expenditure on this department for the year was—Salaries, £580; incidental expenses, £23 95.: total, £603 9s. The amount received from fees, &c, w7as £146 12s. Bd., and the net cost £456 16s. 4d.

Beport of the Bector of the Training College. Sir — I have the honour to submit my report on the Training College for the year 1890. The following was the attendance at the classes : First-year students—twelve males, thirty-three females; second-year students—six males, twenty-three females; third- and fourth-year students—six males, one female. No change was made on the teaching staff during the year. The following are the results of the certificate examinations: One student, passing the New Zealand University honours examination, secured his M.A. degree and A certificate ; tw 7o passed the B.A. examination, qualifying for B certificate ; five passed the first section of the B.A. examination, qualifying for C certificate ; twenty-four passed the New Zealand University matriculation examination ; thirty-seven qualified for D certificate ; three had a partial success for D ; twelve qualified for E certificate ; and nine had a partial success for E. Neil Pollock w 7as awarded the first prize for experimental science, and Alice M. M. Baron the second prize. Twenty students received " special mention "by examiners in the D and E examinations. The Training College students attending the Otago University have taken good places in their classes, and the holders of the Training College exhibitions have fulfilled their conditions. The headmasters of the associated schools have worked cordially with us in connection with the students' practice in teaching. The addition of Kaikorai School to the number associated has, to a certain extent, lightened their labours, and is proving of advantage to the students. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. W. S. Fitzgerald, Bector.

Beport of the Art Master. Sir,— I have the honour to submit my annual report on the School of Art for the year 1890. The total number of students who received instruction in the school during the year was 393, being a decrease of five since last year. This total includes 106 teachers and pupil-teachers, sixtyfive students in training, seventy-nine students who attended the day class, and 143 students who attended the evening classes. The morning class for students from the School of Mines was attended by thirteen students, besides five others who were studying painting. The course of lectures aDd the class instruction

for first-year students included practical plane and solid geometry, and freehand drawing, and that for second-year students.machine drawing to scale and tinting and model drawing. Five of the students received certificates, having passed, in all the subjects. The course of instruction for students in training has been the same as formerly reported. The course for the junior division comprised freehand and model drawing, practical geometry and perspective; for the senior division, drawing in light and shade from the cast, and drawing on the blackboard from models. The progress made by the students during the year has been very marked, and the proficiency attained by the members of the senior division in drawing on the blackboard from copies or from models well qualifies them to give instruction in drawing. The pupil-teachers' course of instruction was as follows : Fourth class, freehand drawing; third class, model drawing ; second class, practical geometry and elementary projection ; first class, perspective. The classes were well and regularly attended by all the pupil-teachers of the city and suburban schools. A few of those belonging to country schools, who could not attend the ordinary classes, consulted me on Saturdays in regard to their work. At the annual examination the number of pupil-teachers examined in the second grade was 124, of whom 116 were successful —thirty-three passed in freehand drawing, thirty-two in model drawing, twenty-six in practical geometry, and twenty-five in perspective. There has been a slight increase in the number of students attending the afternoon classes, chiefly for model drawing and painting. During the year the students worked with great earnestness, and produced studies far in advance of the previous year's work. The studies in monochrome by Miss D. Fitchett, the chalk studies from the antique by Messrs. J. Kilgour and O'Keeffe, the studies in oil colours from nature by Miss M. Cook, Messrs. J. Kilgour and S. Hales, and the modelling by Miss E. Wales, all evidence great care and artistic ability. The evening classes were open every evening from 7 to 9, except Saturday. The course of instruction on Mondays and Wednesdays was freehand drawing, model drawing, drawing and shading from the cast, drawing and shading from the antique, painting in monochrome, and modelling in clay. The course of instruction on Tuesdays and Thursdays for mechanics and engineers was practical plane and solid geometry, machine drawing, and tinting; and for those employed in the building trades, practical plane and solid geometry, architectural drawing to scale, and tinting. Friday evenings were devoted exclusively to drawing and painting from the living model. A good deal of excellent work was done during the past session. The students have given ample proof of their artistic ability and industry, and have showm no disposition to idleness or inattention. There has been a decrease in the number of students attending these classes, owing to many artisans leaving for Sydney and Melbourne. The Boys' and the Girls' High Schools were attended as usual. The arrangement of the classes and the course of instruction were the same as previously reported. The work done in the various classes was very good, and the progress satisfactory. In my last year's report mention was made of a selection from the studies executed by the students of the Dunedin School of Art having been sent to the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition for comparison with similar studies sent from other Schools of Art. lam pleased to report that the Tress commented very favourably on the excellence of the exhibits from this school, and I now submit a list of the awards of the jurors appointed to examine the works : Outline freehand drawing, first award ; geometrical drawing, first award ; perspective, first award ; crayon drawing of heads, &c, first award; mechanical drawing, first award; architectural drawing, first award; landscapes in water-colours, second award; seascapes in water-colours, second award; fruit and flowers in water-colours, second award ; oil painting from the cast, second award ; portraits in oils, second award; oil painting (animals and birds), first award ; landscape in oil, first award ; seascape in oil, first award ; painted screen, first award. At the close of the session an exhibition of the studies produced by the students during the year was open to the public for four days. The exhibition was largely attended both during the day and evening, and was highly spoken of by the Press. My assistants have performed their duties most satisfactorily. I have, &c, The Secretary Otago Education Board. David C. Hutton, Art Master.

Inspectors' Beport on District High Schools. Sir,— We have the honour to submit the following report on the special work of the district high schools for the year 1890. The following.tabular statements show the extra subjects taught, the number of pupils examined, and the amount of work done in each subject:—

81

E.—l

Palmerston District High School.

English. —In this subject the pupils did not answer as well as usual. There was considerable misunderstanding of the passages given for paraphrasing and explanation. Difficulties of language were better dealt with than were difficulties in following and interpreting the author's line of thought. Though few papers were good all round, nearly all the questions were satisfactorily answered by some of the pupils. This play, though not a long one, is by no means easy for young students. Latin. —The translation of Class I. was inferior to that of Classes 11. and 111. Class 11. rendered the passage set very well, and Class 111. fairly. In grammar and composition a fair number in each of the classes answered with satisfactory accuracy. The principles of syntax were neither fully nor clearly explained. French. —Four pupils passed an excellent examination in the work professed, and most of the rest a fair one. Only about an hour a week has been given to this subject. Unless more time can be devoted to it, the teaching of the subject might well be discontinued. Geometry. —The papers of nine pupils were of high, those of, three of good, and those of the rest, except two, of moderate merit. Algebra. —The pupil in Class I. did fairly, gaining half-marks. In the lower classes a majority of the pupils answered w7ell, and the others, with one exception, did fairly. Only one gained less than half-marks. Higher Arithmetic and Mensuration. —Ten pupils did well, four fairly, and the rest poorly.

English. —Paraphrasing and explanation of difficult words and passages were on the whole well done, and the incidents and situations of the play were well known. Some of the papers were excellent, and a very few inferior. The extracts from "King John" in this selection are of very limited extent. It is desirable that a longer and more complete work should be attempted. Latin. —The pupil in Class I. gave in an excellent paper. In Class 11. there were two excellent papers, and the others were satisfactory. In some instances Latin words were translated by their English derivatives, which are not at all equivalent in meaning. English into Latin was fairly done, and the inflections of nouns, adjectives, and verbs were in most cases accurately given. French. —Grammar and translation were both well done by most of the pupils. Three of the papers were of fair quality, and the rest were excellent. Geometry. —The papers of five pupils were of excellent, those of six were of fair, and the rest, except one, were of moderate merit. Algebra. —This subject was not as w 7ell answered as the others. The pupil in Class I. did a very good paper. In Class 11. four answered well, three fairly, and three poorly. One good paper and three fair ones were received from Class 111.

Tokomairiro District High School.

English. —Paraphrasing w7as fairly done by most and well by a few, but difficult sentences and words were on the whole only moderately explained. Beferences and the incidents and situations of the story were fairly known. Latin. —ln this subject the translation was not so well done by the higher pupils as one would expect from their ago and general advancement. Better results are generally found where Dr. Smith's Principia Latina, Part 11., is used as the earliest reading-book. The easier parts of this work are at once simpler and more interesting and homely than the texts read by the pupils of this district high school. The work also gives familiarity with a much wider vocabulary. Accidence was on the whole very fairly known. Syntax was well explained in the higher classes, and composition was creditably done by a large majority of the pupils. French. —The pupil in Class I. did most of the work well. The pupil in Class 11. was absent. Class 111. had done only a few of the earliest exercises, and was not examined in writing. Geometry. —Two of the pupils of Class I. did very well, and one fairly. In Class 11. one pupil gained 85, one 70, three 50, and the two others below 50 per cent, of the marks. Tw 7o of the pupils of Class 111. gained over 60, and the rest below 50 per cent, of the marks. Algebra. —A third of the pupils in each class answered well, and all the others, except one, fairly. Trigonometry. —One pupil did well, one fairly, and the rest more or less poorly. Agricultural Chemistry. —The course in this subject is not very wide, but the pupils answered readily and very correctly on all the points tested, The examination was oral, and chiefly conducted by the rector.

Lawrence District High School.

English. —The whole paper was well answered, and there was very little misunderstanding of the most difficult parts of the text. It is evident that the subject has been taught with great thoroughness and skill. Latin. —The two pupils in Class I. read the work given in the table during the first nine months of the year. Owing to the removal of the families to Dunedin, they have become pupils of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and were not examined. The lower classes showed a very good knowledge of the work done. The translation was excellent in the higher class, and good in the lower. French. —Grammar was excellent throughout, and translation ranged from very fair to very good. Only two pupils obtained less than 70 per cent, of the marks. Algebra. —This subject was very well known. Two-thirds of the pupils in each class gained full marks, whilst the rest gave in good papers. Geometry. —The merit of the papers ranged from good to excellent, most of them coming under the latter description. Trigonometry .—Owe pupil gained 75 and the other 81 per cent, of the marks. In connection with the work of Palmerston District High School, we must point out that a number of the pupils, who come by rail, are very late of arriving, w 7hile the increase in the number of subjects taught has made it more difficult to do good work in some of the most important branches of secondary education.

SOUTHLAND. Sir,— Education Office, Invercargill, 20th March, 1891. In pursuance of the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit herewith the usual report of this Board's proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1890. The Board.—The annual election of three members to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Messrs. Bain, Baldey, and McLeod w 7as held in the month of March, and resulted in the re-election of the three gentlemen named, there being no others nominated. It is desirable that your attention should here be directed to what appears a defect in the Act, so far as it relates to the annual elections of members of Boards. There is no provision made for dispensing with the form of an election when the number of names received in nomination does not exceed the number of vacancies to be filled. There is thus entailed an amount of trouble in going through the form of an election w7hen no good purpose can be served by doing so. To prevent any doubt arising as to the legality of the election, this Board followed the ordinary practice of sending out notice to the School Committees of three names nominated, and asked that they should (as a matter of form) record their votes in the usual manner. It will be seen that all this trouble and expense to Boards and Committees might be obviated by the insertion of a short clause in the Act making provision for declaring the nominees duly elected in such cases,

From the foregoing it will be noted that no change in the personnel of this Board has been made during the year. At a meeting of the Board held on the 2nd of April Mr. George Lumsden was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing twelve months. The Board held one special and twelve ordinary meetings during the year, while the Executive Committee met twenty-three times. The average attendance of members has been very good, though, for special reasons, not so favourable as in some previous years, the numbers being—for meetings of the Board 7*3, and for the Executive 6. The individual attendances were as follows : Board—Mr. Lumsden, 13 ; Mr. Froggatt, 13 ; Mr. Baldey, 13 ; Mr. McLeod, 12 ; Mr. Matheson, 11; Mr. Bain, 11; Mr. Mackintosh, 9 ; Dr. Hodgkinson, 8 ; Mr. Morison, 5. Executive Committee— Mr. Lumsden, 23 ; Mr. Froggatt, 21; Mr. Baldey, 20; Mr. McLeod, 17 ; Mr. Matheson, 15 ; Mr. Bain, 12; Mr. Mackintosh, 16; Dr. Hodgkinson, 11; Mr. Morison, 1. It should be noted that Dr. Hodgkinson was absent on leave during the parliamentary session ; while Mr. Morison was able to register comparatively few attendances owing to a severe and protracted illness. The absence of the latter from the Board's deliberations, in view7 of the cause from which it arose, was a matter of sincere regret to his fellowr-members. Schools.—During the year the Board has established new schools in the following districts : viz., Wendon, Wendon (Block III.), Wendon Valley, Mataura Island, Caroline, and Flint's Bush ; while the small school at South Wyndham has been closed in consequence of a decrease in the average attendance, which rendered its existence for this year no longer necessary. At the close of 1889 the number of schools in operation was 106. By the changes noted in the preceding paragraph this number was increased at the end of 1890 to 111. The opening of new schools in the Wendon district was found to be an absolute necessity, owing to the progress of settlement in that locality. Applications have been received from a number of other places for the constitution of new school districts and the erection of new school buildings. These have for the present been held over for consideration, and will occupy the Board's attention early in the current year. In a district such as Southland, where there are still extensive areas awaiting settlement, the demand for new schools will, the Board anticipates, continue, and very probably increase. The proportion of small (non-paying) country schools in this district is, owing to the sparseness of population, very great. Of 111 schools there are no less a number than seventy-four with an average attendance of fifty or less, very few of which are self-supporting. In view of this fact it requires the utmost care in administering the Board's funds so that the strong may contribute to the necessities of the weak, and render the existence of so many separate schools (each a necessity in its particular locality) possible. The half-time principle is adopted so far as is practicable, the results being attended with moderate success. When revising the Board's regulations a year ago it was found to be absolutely necessary to limit the Board's contributions in aid of schools whose average attendance fell below twenty. To schools of this class (aided schools) a capitation-allowance of £3 10s. per pupil in average attendance is paid towards the teacher's salary, the Committee receiving no "School Fund" allowance. In several such districts the teacher's salary is supplemented by a contribution from the Committee. The services of even a fairly efficient teacher could not otherwise be secured. It is not possible to supply every want, but the Board cannot willingly withhold all the benefits of our educational system from the pioneers who have made their homes in parts far removed from populous centres. Attendance of Pupils.—The average attendance for the year shows a slight increase over that of the preceding one, the numbers being respectively 6,502 and 6,587. When the opening of five additional schools is reckoned, this increase is not so great as might have been expected. This may, however, be accounted for, in part at least, by the exodus of population which has prevailed here in common with other parts of the colony. The Board has still to regret that nothing practical has been done in the matter of restoring the " working " in lieu of the " strict " average as the basis of payments to Boards by the Government, and, as a necessary consequence, of payments to teachers and Committees by the Boards. No circumstances other than those of the ordinary description have occurred during the year to affect seriously the attendance of pupils at our schools. The issue of "good-attendance certificates" of an ornamental character has been continued by and at the expense of the Board. This encouragement to regular attendance is being more appreciated each year, as is evidenced by the greater number of certificates applied for. The percentage of average attendance to roll-number was 77*7, a slight decrease on that of the previous year. Teachers.—The staff of teachers in the service of the Board at the end of the year numbered 190—viz., 102 males and 88 females. These w 7ere classified as follow7s :— Male. Female. Total. Principal ... ... ... ... ... 13 ... 0 ... 13 Head of department ... ... ... 0 ... 13 ... 13 Head of school ... ... ... ... 24 ... 0 ... 24 Sole teacher ... ... ... ... 48 ... 22 ... 70 Assistant ... ... ... ... ... 8 ... 16 ... 24 Pupil-teacher ... ... ... ... 9 ... 37 ... 46 Total ... ... ... ... 102 ... 88 ... 190 These numbers show an increase of three over those of the previous year. The proportion of female to male teachers in the schools of this district is year by year increasing. A glance at the numbers respectively of male and female pupil-teachers employed by the Board, and from wdiich the ranks of the teaching staff are and will continue to be recruited, shows that this state of affairs must still continue to operate in the future so far as this education district is concerned.

E.—l

The percentage of uncertificated teachers in the Board's service shows a gradual decrease in each successive year, and the supply of duly-qualified candidates for appointments of the medium or higher class is now fully in excess of the demand. Only in places where the attendance is small and uncertain, and the salary payable in consequence but a very meagre one, is it now necessary to appoint teachers who do not possess either a full certificate of competency or a " license to teach," which latter during the period for which it is issued has, by the department's regulations, the force of an ordinary certificate. The appointment of uncertificated teachers, when made, is only of a temporary nature, and in such cases the person so employed is expected to exercise all due diligence in securing classification as a fully-qualified teacher. Notwithstanding this rule of the Board, there are a few in its service who have made no apparent effort to prepare for or pass the prescribed examination. This is an irregularity that the Board cannot allow to continue, especially in the case of schools where the attendance warrants the payment of a moderate salary. There is an anomaly at present in existence with reference to the status of persons who have passed the teachers' examination, but who, owing to their youth or lack of the necessary two years' experience in teaching, are not entitled to the possession of a certificate, the issue of which in part depends on age and experience. The former may be attained by exercising the virtue of patience, but the regulations make no provision for securing the latter, unless, indeed, the candidate has had the privilege of serving some Board in the capacity of pupil-teacher. This Board is of opinion that an interim certificate should be issued to all who pass the prescribed literary examination, such certificate to entitle the holder to all the privileges of the holder of a "license to teach" for such a period as would give an opportunity to gain Inspector's marks and attain to the minimum age at which candidates may secure full classification. Pupil-teachers' Examination.—The usual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June last. Owing to an important alteration in the new regulations respecting pupil-teachers, adopted by the Board in 1889, whereby they are required to present themselves for examination at the end instead of the commencement of the pupil-teacher year, a general exemption from attendance at this year's examination was granted to all those who were successful at the previous examination, held in June, 1889. In consequence of this resolve, only three candidates (those who had failed to satisfy the Inspector's requirements for a pass in the previous year) presented themselves. Of these, two were successful; the other again failed, and has since left the Board's service, as required by the regulations. Scholarships.—At this year's examination, held in June, twenty-two candidates (ten resident and twelve non-resident) presented themselves. Five scholarships tenable for three years were awarded—two, of the annual value of £20, to resident candidates, and three, of £35 each, to nonresident candidates. In addition to the foregoing, four extra scholarships of £20 each, but tenable for one year only, were awarded to the most meritorious of the unsuccessful candidates. At the Board's request, reports are furnished at the end of each school-term by the Rector of the Southland High Schools, at which institution holders are required to attend during the currency of their scholarships. These reports have given ample and satisfactory evidence concerning the attendance, diligence, and progress of scholarship pupils, and past experience has shown that they are well able to secure and maintain honourable positions in the secondary school, their work generally being of more than average merit. It is worthy of mention that scholarships under this Board are of one class as regards attainments and age, and are open to all children in the Southland Education District, whether attending the public schools or not. The scholarships now current number seventeen. The sum paid during 1890 to the holders of scholarships amounted to £462 10s., and this amount, together with a sum of £16 Is., expenses incurred in advertising and conducting the examination, represents the total grant received from the Government for scholarships during the year—viz., £478 10s. School-buildings.—Departmental Return No. 7 shows in detail the amounts expended in the erection of new buildings and the maintenance of existing ones during the year just ended. To apportion equitably the annual Government grant for building purposes becomes year by year an increasingly difficult problem to solve, and this because of the inadequacy of the sum granted. In this district it would be simply impossible to satisfy the urgent and just claims of School Committees for repairs, additions, and the erection of new buildings, without some extraneous assistance. The Board is therefore compelled to economize in its administration of the Maintenance Fund, and from the credit balance thus created appropriate considerable sums to augment the Building Fund, and so make it serve the purpose for which it is intended. The Board is very strongly of opinion that such an amount should year by year be set apart for building operations as would in a reasonable way meet the necessities of the several Boards throughout the colony, and leave the Maintenance Fund to be devoted entirely to carrying out its legitimate purposes. The amount expended during the year in the erection of new buildings, repairs and improvements to those already erected, and the purchase of furniture and appliances, was £1,997 17s. 6d. Of this sum, £1,035 9s. lOd. was expended in the erection of new buildings in various districts. In districts such as Southland, where, for obvious reasons, all the buildings, with perhaps three or four exceptions, are of w rood, it will be evident that a large annual expenditure for painting alone is an absolute necessity if the Board's properties are to be preserved from premature decay. There are at present 189 separate buildings (schools and residences) in the district, each requiring to be repainted once in every four or five years at least. At the moderate computation of, say, £8 for each building, it will be seen that to do justice to the property under its charge an annually-recurring expenditure of from £300 to £400 is required for this work alone. Owing to an alteration of the date when the accounts of School Committees are this year to be made up, it is not possible to indicate precisely to what extent the Board's expenditure, as above detailed, has been supplemented by contributions from the several school districts. It may safely be predicted, however, that a perusal of the abstracts of accounts, when rendered, will supply information of a satisfactory nature,

In making grants for minor repairs to buildings, improvements to school-glebes, and the erection of fencing, sheds, &c, the Board has in general adhered to the equal-subsidy system, the operation of which in the past has proved eminently satisfactory and successful. School Committees have, as a whole, manifested very commendable diligence in raising funds wherewith to assist the Board in placing many conveniences within reach of its teachers and pupils and in maintaining the property of the Board in an efficient state of repair. The Board would again direct attention to the lack of teachers' residences in no less than thirty of its school districts; which defect cannot be remedied owing to the insufficiency of the Government grant for buildings. In no instance during recent years has the Board been able to undertake the erection of a school in a newly-constituted district, and at the same time provide a residence for the teacher. For small schools in rural districts where there is a residence the difficulty of securing the services of a fairly competent teacher is not nearly so great as it invariably is when no suitable provision has been made for his or her accommodation ; hence the necessity of employing temporarily persons not fully qualified to take charge of schools in outlying districts. Finance—Board's Income and Expenditure.—Departmental Return No. 4 shows in the aggregate the amounts received and expended by the Board during the year. The Board's balancesheet and accounts have been examined by the Government Audit Inspector, and by him forwarded to the Auditor-General, Wellington, for his inspection and certificate. The total income of the Board for the year was made up as follows : Capitation grant, £21,604 7s. 4d.; reserves rents received from School Commissioners of Otago, £3,052 16s. 5d.; parliamentary grant for buildings (including a sum of £385 due and payable for the re-erection of a school destroyed by fire in 1889), £2,353 2s. 6d.; inspection subsidy, £300 ; other minor receipts, £158 Is. The amounts, together with a credit balance at the close of 1889 of £1,661 10s. Bd., constituted the Board's total income for the year. Against the balance to credit of this year's Maintenance Account, however, has to be placed a sum of £623 ss. 7d. as liabilities due to teachers, Committees, and others on the 31st December; while the balance to credit of Building Fund is more than absorbed by liabilities due or to fall due under existing contracts, a sum of £491 lis. sd. being required for the last-mentioned purpose. The principal items of expenditure were as follows: Teachers' salaries and allowances, £21,155 135.; incidental expenses of School Committees, £1,469 6s. 9d.; and for building purposes, £1,997 17s. 6d. A perusal of Return No. 7, already forwarded, will afford full information respecting the expenditure of the before-mentioned sums, and show in detail to whom and for what purpose the various payments were made. By a prudent and economical administration of the moneys intrusted to it, the Board has hitherto managed to keep its expenditure well within its income. While, however, the basis on which its revenue is calculated remains so liable to variation, and that from circumstances over which it has no control, the same satisfactory condition of its financial affairs as is disclosed in the present year's balance-sheet cannot, of course, be fully depended on. All returns referred to in this report have already been (or are herewith) forwarded. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Neill, Secretary.

During the past year the Commissioners let thirty-six reserves, being thirty-one rural and suburban, containing 3,976 acres, and five small town sections containing 2 acres. The income derived from the country lands is £326 3s. lid., and from the town lands £8 10s., or a total of £334 13s. lid. per annum. The Commissioners have just concluded a series of sales of leases of reserves, .most of which were vested in them last year, and in doing so have taken advantage of " The Educational Beserves Leasing Act, 1890," which permits rural lands to be let for thirty years. This provision has no doubt operated favourably with regard to the reserves submitted for public competition, while the tenants under " The Education Beserves Act, 1877," are largely seeking to avail themselves of the provisions of the former. Act, under which they may obtain extension of their leases. The Commissioners w 7ould have preferred that this Act should have covered suburban as well as " rural lands for the most part covered with bush," as they think a certain amount of hardship has been created in the case of those settlers who hold suburban lands which were formerly covered with bush, and in respect of which such settlers have had all the labour and expense of clearing, but who are excluded from the benefits to be derived from "The Educational Beserves Leasing Act, 1890." The annual sales of leases for 1891 have just concluded, with result as follows, viz. : Twentyfive sections, representing 5,544 acres, were sold to twenty-four purchasers for the sum total of £233 os. 9d. per annum. These sections comprise one town (£3), one village (£3 10s.), eighteen first- and second-class rural lands (£194 165.), and five third-class rural lands (£3l 14s. 9d.). There were many inquiries for more; but the sections sold were, by reason of their position or good quality, the most marketable. There are, however, some which are laid off, and appear on the plans as primary-education reserves, in respect of which inquiry is continually being made by the neighbouring owners; but until these are vested in the Commissioners they cannot be dealt with, and as the lands are lying idle the Commissioners would like to see them permanently reserved, as they (the Commissioners) are of opinion the lands would find ready buyers at fair rentals. The Commissioners are glad to report that the reoent sales included two unprofitable reserves in the Bahau Block. These reserves were held at a cost of £40 per annum for the destruction of rabbits only, and were liable also for rates and fencing. The rent to be received is, however, exceedingly small (2d. per acre per annum) ; but, as this actually represents a large saving of annual expenditure, the Commissioners consider the sale of these sections satisfactory under all circumstances. The Commissioners have to express their regret that no portion of the funds derivable from the recent sales can be applied to the maintenance of secondary education, and again appeal to the Government for a fair share of the lands of the district as endowments for this purpose. The whole revenue available for secondary education, as derived from reserves vested in the Commissioners, amounts to £61 Is. 3d. per annum, which is subject to reduction by proportion of annual expenditure. For some years past this revenue has been absorbed by compulsory expenditure upon the reserves which, in 1888, entailed an advance from the Primary Fund Account, the reimbursement to which will be completed from the revenue arising from secondary reserves at the expiration of the year 1891. After this time there will accrue a small revenue available for secondary schools; but, as this is but small and divisible between three institutions, the Commissioners would repeat their appeal for further assistance in the manner indicated above, for which they believe there is sufficient authority given in "The Education Beserves Act, 1877." In conclusion, the Commissioners desire to draw attention to the increased business of the Trust. In 1878, when they took over the administration, there were on the rent-roll forty-six tenants, contributing £390 10s. 9d. At the present time there are 185 tenants, and the income is £1,832 18s. 3d., which may be augmented by further lettings during the present year. Statement of receipts and expenditure is forwarded herewith. I have, &c, J. B. Blair, Chairman of Commissioners. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 30th April, 1891. In compliance with your circular of the Bth December last, I have the honour to report as follow 7s for the past year : — During the year 18 acres 1 rood 32 perches were let. This area comprises six sections, the total annual rental from which is £10 9s. The Commissioners in November last altered one of the conditions of leasing reserves, in order that incoming tenants, where valuations are provided for, shall not pay more than 75 per cent, of the value of improvements made upon the land by outgoing tenants. It was with satisfaction that the Commissioners observed the passing of " The Education Beserves Act Amendment Act, 1890," which has facilitated the dealing with certain reserves previously not properly vested in the Commissioners. Enclosed is a copy of the general statement of receipts and expenditure for the past year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. G. W. Williams, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Hokitika, 10th April, 1891. I have the honour to forward the Commissioners' report for the past year. For several years past the revenue of the Commissioners has been derived principally from the fees and charges for mining rights on the Kumara Beserve, and the reduction of the charge for miners' rights from £1 to ss. has caused considerable diminution. The Commissioners would strongly recommend that their position with reference to liability for payment of loc_al rates be more clearly defined. Last year the Westland County Council assessed the property of the Commissioners, and demanded payment of rates to an amount far

exceeding the annual revenue derived from the reserves. The County Council sued, but did not succeed in enforcing payment. The Commissioners were, of course, compelled to engage legal assistance, and for several years a large proportion of their revenue has been expended in resisting these claims. The Commissioners would respectfully urge the necessity for some provision being made to-relieve them from these charges. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. James A. Bonar.

CANTEBBUBY. Sir, — Christchurch, sth January, 1891. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th December, 1878, and in terms of circular from the Education Department, dated the Bth of December last, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1890, together with a copy of their accounts, duly audited. The total area of the primary-education estate under lease on the 31st of December, 1890, was 45,161^- acres, producing an annual rental of £15,679 10s. 4d. Included in the foregoing area is Beserve No. 1126, of 640 acres,'which is let temporarily for grazing, pending the Governor's assent to a proposal for the subdivision of this reserve into seventeen farms. There are now only 39J acres of the estate unlet, and this consists chiefly of stony plain, and is comparatively valueless. The fixed deposits of £181 lis. 5d., which matured on the 20th December, 1890, have been redeposited for one year, it being deemed inexpedient at present to buy land, for which purpose only is this sum available. The interest when received will be credited to primary estate as revenue.

During the past year seven reserves have been let for fourteen years. Of these, one was re-let by arbitration under clause 245 of " The Land Act, 1885," to a tenant who was living on the land with a large family ; and the others, which were only suited for pastoral purposes, were let by tender, and brought high rentals. During the year 1891 the leases of four reserves fall in, three of these on Ist May next, and one on Ist November; but owing to clause sof " The Educational Reserves Leasing Act, 1890," it is impossible to say at present how these reserves will be dealt with. Of those falling in on the Ist May, the Board propose to let one of 49f acres by tender for fourteen years ; and the other two, of 508 and 160 acres, after subdivision, into respectively eleven and three farms, by tender, for fourteen years. This proposal was sent to Wellington at the end of November for the Governor's approval, but so far the necessary assent has not been given. Reserve No. 1329, containing 250 acres, which falls in on Ist November next, ought undoubtedly to be re-let by arbitration to present occupier, who built and is living on the land with his family, for under his old lease he gets no compensation for his buildings, besides which he has been paying an excessive rental, and, if forced to submit to public tender, a great hardship will undoubtedly be inflicted upon him. Clause 5 of " The Educational Reserves Leasing Act, 1890," takes away the power granted to School Commissioners under clause 245 of " The Land Act, 1885," to renew leases by arbitration, which is much to be regretted, as renewals were only being granted to lessees of reserves of small area, who were actually making a home of the land.

OTAGO. Sir, — In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th December, 1878, and in terms of circular from the Education Department, dated Bth December last, I have the honour to forward the following report of the School Commissioners of Otago for the year ending 31st December, 1890 :— Owing to the large increase in the rent-roll, and to the necessity for considering numerous applications for reductions of rent, &c, and also to the fact that a great number of leases are nowexpiring and have to be re-offered for sale, the work of the School Commissioners has increased very considerably during the past year, and they have been obliged to devote a great amount of thentime to the management of the Trust. During the year thirteen meetings were held, each one of which took up a full day, and at which a great amount of detail business was transacted. The Commissioners receive no remuneration for their services, and those of them who represent the Southland District lose at least three days each month in connection with their attendance at meetings. When it is borne in mind that the Commissioners have the management of 736 separate holdings, scattered over the whole of the provincial district from the Waitaki to the Waiau Eiver, as well as the investment of a large sum of money, it will be seen that the administration of the estate entails a vast amount of detail work which could not be carried on efficiently at less expense than under the present system of management. As it is possible that complaint may be made against the School Commissioners of acting unfairly towards some of the holders of land under their control, and that the matter will come under the notice of Barliament, I am directed by the Commissioners to refer you to the report of their proceedings for the year ended the 31st December, 1889, which was sent to the Education Department on the 29th May last, and which, in their opinion, fully justifies their action in dealing with the tenants referred to —viz., the cash purchasers on terms. I may say that it is only in the case of the cash purchasers on terms, or rather mortgagors, that dissatisfaction exists, and that, as far as the Commissioners are aware, the ordinary lessees of education reserves are quite contented with the terms upon which they hold their land from the Trust. The School Commissioners desire to bring under your notice the fact that the provisions of section 5 of " The Educational Beserves Leasing Act, 1890," are likely to cause a great deal of inconvenience in the management of the reserves, inasmuch as it necessitates the consent of the Governor in Council being obtained in every case before a lease can be entered into, and they would therefore respectfully ask you to have the Act amended so as to make the clause referred to apply only to areas of over 500 acres in extent. A large number of the reserves consist of small areas of 1 rood and upwards, and, as the leases run out on different dates, and have to be advertised for a given time before being again offered for competition, it would cause unnecessary delay and inconvenience if the approval of the Governor in Council had to be obtained in every case before the land could be dealt with. When a copy of the Bill was forwarded for the consideration of the Commissioners it contained no such provision, and its insertion afterwards gave them no opportunity of urging their objection to the clause. Of the sum of £6,305 18s. lOd. shown in the statement of accounts as rent, &c, in arrear on 31st December, 1890, £1,277 9s. 4d. has been paid during the present quarter, and a large portion of the balance will probably be paid in May next, as the Commissioners are endeavouring to make as many rents as possible fall* due on the Ist May and Ist November in each year. As I have already explained in previous reports, all rents are debited half-yearly in advance, and a great number of them only become due in advance in the month of December. Of the sum of £1,518 Is. Bd. shown in the balance-sheet as expenses of management, £321 18s. Id. was paid for surveying new block of land, and is therefore an extraordinary charge. The sum of £39 19s. 6d. collected during the year for preparing leases in the Commissioners' office

may fairly be deducted from the ordinary expenditure, which reduces it to £1,196 3s. 7d., and of this latter sum £106 4s. lOd. has been paid to the Government in the shape of railway-fares, cost of rabbit destruction, stamps, telegrams, and Crown-grant fees, while £103 os. 3d. was paid to CountyCouncils, Boad Boards, and boroughs for rates. It will thus be seen that the actual cost of managing the department for the year, exclusive of the before-mentioned amounts, did not exceed the sum of £986 18s. 6d., or £5 ss. 4d. per cent. The balance-sheet and statement of receipts and expenditure during the year, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General, is annexed hereto.
