[In Continuation of E.-l, Sess. 11., 1891.]

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lobd,— Wellington, 17th June, 1892. 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, 1891 I have, &c, W P EEEYES. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Glasgow, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT. Public Schools. The mean of the weekly statements of the number of pupils on the rolls of the public schools of the colony for the year 1891 is 120,882, exceeding by 2,490 the corresponding mean for the year 1890 On the average rather more than 80 per cent. (80"3) of the pupils on the rolls were m attendance, the average attendance for the year being 97,058, a number which exceeds the estimated attendance by

58, and the attendance of the year 1890 by 2,426. The principal statistics of attendance from the date of the passing of the Education Act (1877) are given in Table A.

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1891.

Table B exhibits the statistics of attendance for the several education districts. In Otago and Westland there is again a slight decline in numbers, and there is also a decline in the Grey District. In 1891, for the first time, the average attendance of the fourth quarter falls below the average for the whole year The attendance for the whole colony for the fourth quarter is less by 1,092 than the mean attendance for the other three quarters. There are seven districts m -which the attendance of the fourth quarter is below the mean. The Boards of Otago, Southland, and Wanganui refer to influenza as the principal cause of unexpectedly irregular attendance , and the same epidemic, and others, affected the schools of North and South Canterbury In Otago and Southland it was found necessary to close some of'the schools for a time. The low attendance in the Grey District is attributed to a decline in the yield of gold and in the output of coal.

Among the 119,523 pupils enrolled at the end of the year are 1,350 Maori children, scattered throughout the country at 218 public schools, most of the children and most of the schools being in the District of Auckland. Their numbers m the several districts are shown in the following statement, which bears no relation to the 2,231 children attending Native schools: —

The proportion subsisting betwen the number of boys and the number of girls exhibits no appreciable change from year to year, the number of boys being always rather more than 51J per cent, of the total. The proportion between the number of pupils under ten years of age and the number above that age varies with some fluctuation, but with a decided tendency to a higher average age. The number of children under ten was m 1883 nearly 60 per cent, of the total, in 1891 it was a little over 53 per cent. This percentage for ten successive years from 1882 to 1891 inclusive has varied as follows 58 - 2, 60, 58-5, 58-5, 57, 55, 545, 54-5, 53-6, 53T At the end of 1891 the number of pupils below the age of eight is 29 - 5 per cent, of the total, between eight and eleven, 35*3 per cent.; between eleven and fourteen, 29 per cent., above the age of fourteen, 6 - 2 per cent. The number of pupils under the age of nine is 41 - 4 per cent, of the total, which agrees very nearly with the number in the preparatory classes —41-04 per cent.

The proportion of the number of pupils in the classes above the class preparing for the Third Standard to the number in the lower classes continues to increase. In 1886 the number m the classes above the Third Standard was 23 - 8 per cent., m the five following years in succession the percentage is 25-9, 26-8, 27-4, 28 - 8, 30T The number of pupils in classes above the Sixth Standard (2,643) is not much greater than that of pupils above the age of fifteen (2,392)

TABLE D. —Classification by Standards, December, 1891. (See Table No. 2, Appendix, p.2.)

The average age of the pupils at the time of passing a given standard probably depends as much on the character of the examination, or upon relations established between the Inspectors and the teachers, as it does upon the efficiency of the schools. In comparing district with district considerable differences may be observed, but the general result varies but little from year to year The statistics under this head for 1891 are given m Table E

TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1891.

The statistical parts of the Inspectors' reports indicate a satisfactory measure of progress The aggregate of the roll-numbers of the several schools at the times of their examination was 118,440, and the standard passes were 59,511, or 5025 per cent of the total, the highest percentage that has yet been attained, and the percentage of failures (16"29) is lower than m any preceding year In nine years the percentage of passes has risen from 35 - l to 502, the percentage for ten years (1882-1891) being as follows 35-1, 37-4, 39-4, 41-9, 42-5, 44-9, 47-2, 48-5, 49-2, 50-2.

failures has been gradually reduced from 23" Itol7 1 In 1886 the pupils in preparatory classes were 37 1 per cent, of the total, 0 - 6 per cent, were above the Sixth Standard, 3 7 per cent, absent, 3 - 2 per cent, were " excepted," 12-9 failed, 425 per cent, passed. For 1891 the corresponding percentages are —34, 0 - 9, 2-5, 2-5, 9-8, 50-3.

TABLE F.—Inspection Statistics.

Table G- shows that the proportion of failures in 1891 is greatest in the Fourth and Fifth Standards (as it was also in 1890), and particularly m the Fifth. The percentage of failures in the Standards from the First to the Sixth respectively is—6 - 2, B*4, 206, 23, 28, 20-5. The Inspectors' reports are printed separately (E.-1b)

TABLE G.—Passes and Failures.

The usual table (H) showing the number of pupils under instruction in the several subjects of the primary course is given below Twenty-three pupils in the District High School at Greymouth are included m the total, but for some reason or other have been omitted m the analysis. The table seems to show that, as in former years, there are some children who receive no instruction m any subject except reading, and others that learn no arithmetic Wanganui, Nelson, Grey, and Southland are the only districts to which this remark applies.

children that do not receive instruction in drawing is only 8,639 Officers of the Permanent Artillery are now giving instruction in military drill to the pupils of the schools at, and within a reasonable distance of, each of the four principal centres of population, and arrangements are being made for instructing the country teachers at these centres on Saturdays.

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

During the year nine failing schools have been closed, and sixty-four new schools opened, bringing up the number to 1,255. In this enumeration two schools worked as half-time schools under one teacher are reckoned as one school, if m such cases the two schools were counted as two the number of schools would be 1,272. The schools described as " subsidised " are not as numerous as they were at the end of 1890. The increase in the number of schools has been greater in proportion than the increase in the number of pupils, so that the mean average attendance of a school has declined from 806 to 76 - 7 Table J shows that the chief increase in the number of schools is to be found among the very small schools.

TABLE J. —Number of Schools, December, 1891. (In this enumeration every couple of half-time schools is reckoned as one school, except in the column for number of such schools.)

The number of teachers rose during the year from 3,145 to 3,219 The number of men is only slightly increased, the largest addition being to the ranks of the female pupil-teachers. The increase in the number of teachers has been greater than the increase in the number of pupils, the mean number of pupils for one teacher being now 31 "4.

When all improvements of status consequent on the January examinations of 1892 are taken into account, it is found that only 228 of these teachers are without the qualification by examination (69 "partial pass," 43 "failed," 116 not examined) A report on the examination constitutes a separate paper (B Iα) The annual reports of the Education Boards (Appendix, pp. 57-89) are accompanied by abstracts of the receipts and expenditure of the several Boards. These abstracts are summarised m Tables 4 and 5 (Appendix, pp. 4 and 5), and the following is a condensed summary of them :— TABLE N.—Abstract of Receipts and Expenditure of Boards. Dr. £ s. d.

It will be observed that the money received for building purposes within the year exceeds by about £25,000 the expenditure on that account. It must not be inferred that money granted for buildings is being used for other purposes on the contrary, the Auckland Board in 1891 transferred £5,000, part of the savings of former years, from the Maintenance Account to the Building Account, and the Otago, North Canterbury, and Hawke's Bay Boards transferred respectively £5,827 125., £1,331 2s. Id., and £1,000. The whole expenditure on maintenance —£359,098 9s. 10d., the total of the first four items of expenditure m Table N—is less by £9,250 than the income due to capitation and inspection subsidy The abstract of the assets and liabilities of the Boards (Tables O, P), when compared with the abstract for the preceding year, shows that there are only five Boards that have not effected some saving during the year out of that part of their income which is not specially devoted to buildings, and m four of these five cases the loss on the year's transactions is slight South Canterbury, £374, North Canterbury, £205 , Marlborough, £185 , Westland, £63 , Grey, £2. Taking into consideration the amounts transferred from Maintenance to Building Account, the saving for the year in Auckland is £3,962, m Otago, £712, m Hawke's Bay, £859 In Taranaki the amount saved is £290, in Wanganui, £1,137 , in Wellington, £2,099, in Nelson, £19 , in Southland, £586.

The money voted in 1891 for school-buildings was distributed to the Boards as follows Auckland, £5,485, Taranaki, £1,090, Wanganui, £2,855, Wellington, £4,290, Hawke's Bay, £2,000, Marlborough, £705; Nelson, £1,710 , Grey, £1,000, Westland, £420 , North Canterbury, £4,975, South Canterbury, £1,260, Otago, £4,790, Southland, £1,920 Several of the Boards m their annual reports complain that the grants made of late years for building purposes are inadequate. The Auckland Board estimates that £8,000 at least is required for buildings m its district, and directs special attention to the large number of schools that have not yet been provided with dwelling-houses for the teachers The Grey Board puts in a plea for a special capitation rate for small districts. The amount expended by the Boards in the maintenance of scholarships during the year 1891 is £6,475 8s 6d., and the number of scholarships is 255. The amount of the grants made to the Boards for this purpose during the year is £6,505 9s. Bd.

Native Schools. The number of Native village schools at the end of the year is 67, including Matihetihe, carried on in conjunction with Waitapu. During the year four schools were given up, and two old schools were reopened, and one new one established. The immediate cause of closing in each of the four cases was the smallness of the number of pupils. This appears to have been due at Pukepoto to the comparative proximity of another school which attracted the children of intermediate places, at Whakarapa, to tribal jealousy and the position of the school, which has proved to be not sufficiently near the principal settlement of the neighbourhood, at Waikare, to the indifference of the people, and at Kopua, to the decline of population. Whakarapa is to be reopened shortly, and it will most likely be found necessary before long to remove the school-buildings to a more suitable site The one new school of the year is at Whangaruru ,it may be regarded as m a sense the successor of the Waikare School, and it is at present being conducted experimentally man inexpensive way The reopening of Te Teko School was consequent upon the return of the Natives to the settlement, which they were compelled to abandon on account of the condition to which it was reduced by the volcanic disturbance of 1886 At Little Eiver the school was closed early in 1890 in the yam hopa of inducing the Maori children to attend the Board school, and it has now been re-established at the urgent request of the Native people, supported by their representatives. At the four boarding-schools for Natives there are 74 pupils introduced by the Department, besides 120 who may be regarded as foundation scholars. Of the Government pupils, 44 are the holders of scholarships obtained m the village schools. The numbers in detail are —'St Stephen's, 46 (including 22 Grovernment pupils, 20 of whom hold scholarships), Te Ante, 73 (including 11 Government scholars); Hukarere, 54 (including 8 scholars and 12 other Grovernment pupils), St. Joseph's, 21 (all Grovernment pupils, of whom 5 hold scholarships) Hukarere and St. Joseph's are girls' schools. At the village schools the average attendance for the year is 1,837 For the last quarter of the year the attendance is 1,703 (938 boys, 765 girls), with 2,231 on the roll (1,231 boys, 1,000 girls) Of the number on the roll (2,231), the half-castes are 239, the Maori (including those in whom Maori blood predominates) are 1,589, and the Europeans (including children of mixed race inclining to European) are 403. Only 51 are under five years old, and 78 over fifteen; of the rest, 1,207 are under ten and 895 above ten years old. At the inspections of the year 2,270 children were on the rolls, and 810 passed the standard examination —330 in the First Standard, 230 m the Second, 183 in the Third, and 67 in the Fourth. The "percentage of passes " therefore —in the sense in which that term is used m the public-school system—is about 36. The staff of Native village-school teachers at the end of the year consisted of 57 head-masters (at salaries varying from £84 to ,£205), 9 head-mistresses (£72 to £190), 26 assistant mistresses (£lO to £55), 1 assistant master —a Maori —(£2O), and 38 teachers of sewing (£2O each)

The expenditure for 1891 was ,£15,251 Is. lid., towards which amount a contribution of £91 Is. 6d. was received from the income of Native reserves. The amount absorbed in the salaries of village-school teachers, and in allowances to them for removals and other purposes, was .£11,024 13s. 6d., and the other items are —School requisites, .£3BO 6s 6d., prizes, £296 17s. 5d., repairs and small works, £268 ss. Id , inspection, including travelling, £652 Is. 9d., grants to boarding-schools and travelling expenses of scholars, £1,631 75., buildings, fencing, and furniture, £980 7s 6d., sundries, £17 3s. 2d. Mr Bishop, Mr Booth, Mr Bush, and Mr Wilkinson continue to render most valuable service to the Department as District Superintendents of Native Schools. Mr Pope's annual report on the inspection of all the schools is printed as a separate paper (E.-2) In the latter part of the year the Minister of Education visited twenty-one schools, accompanied during the greater part of the journey by the Assistant Inspector, and surprise visits, in addition to such as were made by the Inspector, were paid to twelve other schools by the Chief Clerk of the Department. The following memorandum and circular were afterwards sent to all the teachers. The memorandum relates to the manner in which the registers are kept: — Memoeandum for Teachebs of Native Schools. Teachers of Native schools are aware that a part of their salary depends on the average attendance of pupils. It is well that they should know that it is often said by adverse critics of the Native-school system that the rolls are kept in such a manner as to invalidate all returns based upon them. The eighth paragraph of the " Instructions " printed on the back of the daily register contains a plain and peremptory rule for marking the register in such a way as to render it possible for an official visitor entering the school during the last half of the morning or afternoon to see for himself whether, on that occasion, the entries in the register are truly made. The rule is too plain to be misunderstood , the reason of it is evident, and nearly all the teachers have had their attention called to it, in many cases because of their neglect of it. It is a rule not made for the special case of the Maori schools, but applicable to all the public schools—for which, indeed, it was first framed. There is no excuse whatever for disregarding it, and teachers ought to see that when they disregard it they expose themselves to the suspicion of being willing to keep open an opportunity of falsifying their records. A series of official visits to some of the schools has been lately made out of the usual course, and in a considerable proportion of the schools visited it was found that the rule for the marking of the register was not duly observed. The entries were made in pencil instead of ink, or the attendances were marked, but the total was not entered at the foot of the column , or the entries had not been made for a day or two or the marking was put off to a later hour than that which is specified in the " Instructions." No evidence of fraudulent design was brought to light, but it is evident that teachers are not sufficiently impressed with the importance of observing a rule that was intended to establish a practice strict enough to disarm suspicion. In future any teacher found guilty of negligence in this respect will forfeit all right to the increment that depends directly on average attendance, and will be deprived of any status already acquired with respect to seniority The deprivation of status will be absolute, and the offender will have to begin again as probationer, but that part of the penalty which consists in the withholding of the attendance increment may cease at any time if the Minister, to mark the restoration of confidence, shall so order Education Department, Wellington, Ist November, 1891. Wμ. Jas. Habens. The circular was designed to stimulate and guide the teachers to improvements in the teaching of English : — Education Department, Wellington, 17th February, 1892. The Teacher, Native School, . I am directed to inform you that the Minister of Education, in the course of his recent visits to Native schools, was much impressed by the difference between the most efficient schools and those that are less efficient with respect to the attainments made by the pupils in the study, of English. The Minister is of opinion that the general standard of proficiency in the comprehension and in the use of our language ought to be very considerably raised, and that this might easily be done if all the teachers had an adequate conception of the difficulties to be overcome, and would maintain an unflagging determination to surmount them. The first thing is to recognise the contrasts between Maori and English, as the main source of difficulty The Maori alphabet contains comparatively few consonants. Among lip-sounds it has no b (though its p sometimes inclines to b) no/ and no v consequently it is necessary to take great pains to secure the right pronunciation of the initial letters of such words as bane, fane, pane, vane, wane. Among throat-sounds Maori has no g therefore, the teacher must strongly insist on the distinction between guard and card, gale and kale. In tooth-sounds Maori has no d, and no th (though the Maori t inclines sometimes to d, and sometimes to an aspirated t not identical with either of the sounds represented in English by th), and though the Maori r sometimes inclines to I

E.—l

XIII

(as in another direction it sometimes inclines to d) the language has no I. Hence much care is necessary with the initial letters of tie, die, lie, rye, thy thigh. In thy and thigh a special difficultyarises through the use of our th to represent an aspirated t in thigh (and in such words as thick, thin, thunder, through), and an aspirated d in thy (and in the, thou, they, thus, then, though, &c.) The other English sounds that have some dental quality are wanting in Maori, as s, z, sli, zh (the z in azure), j and eh (soft, as in chain). The tendency to substitute h for s muse be watched, and the distinction between the s and sh (sip and ship) must be insisted upon, as also the distinction between the s and the z sound, especially where 5 has the sound of z (twice in houses though in house the true sound of sis heard) In Maori, consonants never come together , and therefore such compounds as dr tr, str (in drain, train, strain) and cks and x (in locks and box) present difficulties that must be recognised and faced. And where such compounds are disguised as well as unusually difficult (as in chain, and Jane, and ginger) they call for more diligent exemplification and practice. Of the nasal sounds, m (labial) and n dental) call for no remark , but with respect to ng (guttural) it is to be noted that this sound is always at the end of its syllable in English, but at the beginning of its syllable in Maori probably the difficulty hence arising is more easily overcome by the Maori than by the English learner Some special care may be necessary where in an English word (as in finger angle) the ng is first sounded in full, and then supplemented by a hard g (fing-ger) Knowing the character of the difficulties that will be experienced and the mistakes that will be made by the Maori child, the teacher must consider that nothing at all has been done until the pupils can perfectly sound any English letter or compound consonant when their attention is specially directed to it, and can distinguish accurately between words that differ only in some one letter or sound—whether initial or final —as between lake and rake, or between box and bogs Apart from reading-lessons, there should be abundant drill in the pronunciation of similar, yet differing, words. To this drill should at an early stage be added the writing of pairs of such words from dictation. But what is perhaps quite as important as the regular practice of such exercises is the care the teacher must take not to allow himself to grow so accustomed to characteristic Maori mistakes of pronunciation as to accept false sounds for true, and become satisfied with them. Prom one year's end to another, as often as one of these characteristic mistakes occurs it should be corrected on the spot. An exercise that has been found most useful is one in which the teacher reads a part of the reading-lesson in hand, and occasionally pronounces a word as an untaught Maori might pronounce it, and the pupils supply the necessary correction. The grammar of Maori is so different from that of English that special measures need to be taken to render the pupils familiar with the English means of expressing tense, number, case, &c. To this end teachers are recommended to insist on having every answer that a pupil has to give expressed in a full sentence, not merely hinted at by a few words thrown together If a boy is asked where Hemi is, "Shoot pigeon" ought not to be accepted as an answer, nor should ' Water all round "be taken for a good definition of an island. If necessary, the child may be helped to frame the answer or the definition, but until, either with or without help, a complete meaning has been expressed that answer or that definition must be regarded as the business on hand. At a later stage, when the children are beginning to do a little written composition, they should be taught to criticize an incomplete assemblage of words, pretending in the absence of a predication to constitute a sentence, to detect, for example, the meaninglessness of snch an utterance as " Early yesterday morning John riding over a paddock," and supply what would give it meaning. The teacher should never, under any temptation to weariness, or on any plea of having too many things to attend to, allow any written exercise to pass without proper correction, and he should never be content to bring a reading-lesson to a close until he finds that all the pupils can read it accurately, and is sure that they understand it. The Minister regards the teaching of English as manifestly the most conspicuous object in view in the institution of Native schools. He is convinced that the work done in the best schools may fairly be taken as indicating the results the Inspector has a right to look for, and he desires to have it clearly understood that in future no child that is weak in reading or in English at a standard examination will be allowed to pass. Wμ. Jas. Habens. An ex-pupil of the Maori College at Te Aute, Apirana T N Ngata, who is now a University student at Canterbury College, and Eeweti Morgan, who is still a pupil at Te Aute, spent their last Christmas holidays in circulating Maori copies of Mr Pope's book, "Health for the Maori" The following letter was received from Eeweti early in March : — Dear Sic, — Te Aute College, Hawke's Bay I read your letter to Apirana, and am thankful to hear that you are taking interest in us and in our young or newly-born " Association." I may, perhaps, inform you that it was I who asked Apirana to do the work of applying, on my behalf, for copies of "Te Ora mo te Maori," which request you kindly and promptly granted. I thereby hold myself as one of those who are under obligation to you, and who are responsible to give you account of the distribution and work of the books. Eifty-four of the books were given to my disposal. I had not much time to dispose of them all. I took very great care in giving away v/hat I was able to distribute. Before I parted with a single copy I always took great trouble in making the receiver understand what he had to do with it. I also added a sort of introduction (like Mr Ballance's) to the book, and a few hints. I warned every one who accepted a copy that I would be round at any time to see him, and to see

E.—l

XIV

what he had done with the book, what good he had obtained from it, and how good he had kept it. Every one who took a copy seemed to think himself bound to do what I wished him to do, so you may learn from this that I have some hope that the book would do some good this time, especially when the eyes of those who have it have been opened to think a little upon their fate, by the epidemic which raged among them not long ago. Of course we shall not expect every one to take interest in it; there are some very obstinate men among them, such as seem to think they know just as much as the Pakeha. The copies which I was not able to distribute I have entrusted to some of my people who would likely do what I have instructed them. Apirana, his brother, and myself spent very enjoyable and useful holidays. I think we have indeed been very energetic in carrying out what we planned. It would take too much time if I were to tell everything. Allow me, therefore, to cut it short by saying that on the whole the work was very satisfactory Mr Pope paid us a visit last week, and told me how anxious you were to hear from us. He also asked me if we could send you a report of our work during our previous holidays. Since his visit we have held a meeting in connection with the Association, when our Central Committee was formed. The meeting has been adjourned for next Saturday night, when reports from various members shall be heard by the whole school. I have a very detailed report to bring before the meeting. Ido not mind sending mine to you if it is only written out more carefully Expect Apirana's. Of course all our movements shall be made known to you sooner or later We shall try to do as much as we can in bringing our Association into full swing—if it will ever be. Our highest intention is to put our plan through the press preparatory to its circulation. Have I said enough ? If so, let me conclude my letter with thanks for the help we have received and may receive from you. Believe me, yours truly, Mr W J Habens. Eeweti Mobgan Industbial Schools. The number of children committed to industrial schools m 1891 is 184, and the number discharged is 146, the consequence being that the number on the rolls is raised from 1,454 to 1,492. The increase appears in the number of inmates licensed to reside with their friends on probation, or licensed to employers. The number of children m the schools declined from 544 to 527, and the number of boarded-out children from 427 to 422 , so that the number maintained by the institutions fell from 971 to 949 There were 394 at service at the end of the year, and 119 were with their friends on probation , 1 was on probation at Costley Institute, 2 were m a school for the blind, 2 m hospital, 2 m lunatic asylums, and 3 in refuges , 20 (of whom 4 returned before the end of April, 1892) were absent without leave.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1890 and 1891.

Of the inmates m residence, 275 were Catholics m private schools, 39 Catholics m Government schools, and 213 Protestants m Government schools. Of the boarded-ont children, 365 were Protestants from Government schools, 55 Catholics from Government schools, and 2 Catholics from private schools. Of the children admitted during the year, 94 are described as belonging to the Church of England, 54 as Catholic, 22 as Presbyterian, 8 as Methodist, 3 as Baptist, 2 as Protestant, 1 as Congregationahst.

Of the 184 children admitted, 92 were destitute, 40 were living in disreputable places, 34 had been guilty of punishable offences, 10 were vagrant, 5 uncontrollable, and 3 were admitted by arrangement with their friends. As to the characters of the parents, the following table (U) seems to show that, out of the 184 cases, 42 were certainly due to misfortune alone, and 29 others possibly so, while 46 were due to the bad character of both parents, 42 to the bad character of the mother, and 25 to the bad character of the father : —

TABLE U. —Admissions classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1891.

Seven inmates died during the year In an asylum, a boy in his twentieth year, belonging to Kohimarama, an epileptic subject, at service, two girls, of about fifteen years, belonging to Burnham, one of tuberculosis, the other of scarlet fever, in hospital, a girl, belonging to Caversham, of tuberculosis, in her eighteenth year, at the Nelson school, two children, a boy of six and a girl of ten, of tuberculosis, and a boy of ten years, belonging to the Nelson school, but residing with his parents, drowned m Wellington Harbour, in the endeavour to rescue his younger brother, who had fallen into the water, and who was saved by other means. There is a sad reason for the official entry of 8 instead of 7 as the number of deaths. A Nelson inmate, a boy of thirteen, ran away from a bathing party in October, 1890, and a long search for him proved fruitless. His remains were found in March, 1891 The accounts of the Government schools are summarised in Table W

TABLE W.—Cost of Government Schools, 1891.

i The recoveries, which consist of payments made by Charitable Aid Boards and by parents, and of sales of farm produce, &c, do not come in regularly For the four quarters of the calendar year, as shown, they amount to ,£6,563, but in the four quarters of the financial year (March, 1892, to March, 1892) the income is £8,528. In the column for cost of school are included some items that cannot fairly be regarded as part of the expense of maintaining the children. For example, one item is £326, the price of sheep bought m 1891 these have been sold in 1892 for £336, and their wool for £130 Again, the distinction between the expenses of the schools and the expenditure on the boarding-out of children cannot be accurately made, the first outfit of the foster-children being supplied from the school, and a great part of the managers' time being devoted to business connected with the boardmg-out system The managers have also a great deal of responsibility for the young people at service. The salaries and rent, and the housekeeping expenses, so far as they relate to the managers and the staff, are

almost independent of the fluctuations in the number of resident inmates. If the salaries and rent are deducted from the gross cost of the institutions (£15,512), the outlay for the year is £12,826, and if this sum be divided by the average number of children in residence and boarded out, which is 676, the average cost by this method of calculation appears to be rather less than £19 The local school at the Thames is maintained by the local authorities. The children at private schools have cost the Government about £200 less than in the year 1890, their number being somewhat reduced, and the amount of the recoveries being somewhat increased.

TABLE X.—Government Expenditure on Private Schools, 1891.

More detailed information respecting the industrial schools will be found in a separate paper (E.-3), and in another paper (8.-3 a) is a report from the Trustees of the Costley Institute, to which many of the Auckland industrial-school inmates have been transferred. Deaf-mute Institution There were 50 pupils in the school at Sumner at the end of the year—B more than at the beginning The expenditure was rather less than that of the year 1890, the total amount being ,£3,618 15s. 6d., and the details as follows Salaries, £1,175 3s. Bd., board of pupils, £1,542 17s. 6d., rent, £605, travelling, £100 14s. Id., sundries, £180 11s. 6cL The contributions of parents amounted to £324 Is. The Blind. During the year nine blind pupils have been maintained by the Government at a school in Melbourne, and two at a school in Sydney These have since been brought back to New Zealand. Two of them have gone to live with their friends, and the others have been sent to join the eight pupils that had already been committed to the care of the new institution m Auckland. The expenses on account of these pupils appear in the accounts of the Charitable Aid Department. University of New Zealand and Affiliated Colleges. The report (E.-5) presented to His Excellency by the Chancellor of the University shows that, as a result of the examinations held at the end of 1891, degrees were conferred as follows M.A., 16 graduates, 8.A., 47, B So., 6, LL.B ,1, M.D ,2 , M.B and Ch.B , 5 total, 77 The number of graduatesexclusive of graduates admitted ad eundem —is now 324 8.A., 172, B.A. and 8.5c.,2, B.A. and LL.B ,8, B.A. and M.8., 3, B.Sc, 3, M.B , 11, M.A., 103, M.A. and B.Sc, 8, M.A. and LL.B , 8, M.A. and LL.D , 1, LL.D and B.A , 1, M.D, 4.

REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

[Note. —Details are in some oases omitted. Tables are not all reprinted, the substance of most of them being embodied in the tables in or attached to the report of the Minister.]

AUCKLAND Auckland, March, 1892. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1891: — Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members Messrs. James William Carr Theophilus Cooper, David Goldie, James Marshall Lennox, Samuel Luke, William Pollock Moat, Richard Monk, John Henry Upton, and Richard Udy (Chairman) Mr Goldie resigned in February, and Messrs. Carr, Monk, and Upton retired in March, 1891. Their places were filled by Messrs. William Blythe Buckhurst, Alexander Grant, M.A., William Motion, and James Muir The members who retire in March, 1892, are Messrs. Buckhurst, Lennox, and Luke. Messrs. Buckhurst and Luke have been re-elected. Mr John Liddell Kelly has been elected to the seat vacated by Mr Lennox, who did not seek re-election. Mr Udy was re-elected Chairman in April, 1891. Thirty-three meetings of the Board have been held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. Since July the Board has met fortnightly instead of weekly, and the hour has been altered from 2 p.m. to 10.30 a.m. An executive committee, consisting of all the members of the Board, meets on every alternate Friday Public Schools. —There were 276 schools in operation at the end of the year The number of half-time schools has been reduced from forty to twenty New schools have been opened at Cabbage Bay, Dacre's Claim, Hukanui, Karaka No. 2, Kuaotuna, Mayfield, Onewhero, Tokatoka No. 2, Waiwera Springs, Weymouth, and Whahgae. The schools previously closed at Mangapiko and Marmkau Heads have been reopened. The schools at Bridgewater Harapepe, and Whatipu have been closed owing to the removal of population. The Board makes it a rule to supply school furniture and to appoint a teacher wherever an attendance of at least ten scholars can be maintained. For places where even this number is not attainable, the Board has under consideration the question of employing itinerant teachers for teaching from house to house. Teachers. —The number of teachers has increased from; 647 to 667, classified as follows :— Male. Female. Total. In charge of schools , 176 90 266 Assisted teachers 26 132 158 Pupil-teachers 43 152 195 Sewing-teachers .. 48 48 Totals 245 422 667 The surplus of assistant teachers has been reduced during the year from seventy to ten , and the staff may now be said to correspond with scale requirements. A considerable advance has been made in the classification of teachers and assistants. All except ten are now fully certificated. In the course of the year seventy-nine teachers of all grades have left, and 106 have entered or rejoined the service. Of the seventy-nine teachers who left the service during 1891, twenty-one were teachers in charge of schools, twenty-nine were assistant-teachers, and thirty-one were pupilteachers. Of the 106 who entered or rejoined the service, ninety-one entered as pupil-teachers, and fifteen above that rank. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers, and candidates for employment, was held in June, 1891, and resulted as follows :—

All the candidates who qualified received employment, and the Board was obliged to employ some candidates who, although otherwise suitable for employment, had not passed the entrance examination. Provision has been made for the admission of candidates who have passed the B—E 1

University matriculation, or the Senior Civil Service examination, to the rank of third-year pupilteachers after serving a probation of three months , and, under similar conditions, candidates who have passed the Junior Civil Service examination are eligible for admission as first-year pupilteachers. All efficient pupil-teachers are retained in the service after completing their term of three years' apprenticeship, and are allowed the opportunity of qualifying for teachers' certificates. Attendance. —The following table shows the increase in the attendance of scholars : —-

These numbers include 480 scholars above school age, and 228 who had passed the Sixth Standard. The average attendance was 82 per cent, of the roll-number Subjects of Insteuotion. —In April, 1891, the Board passed a resolution suggesting that the syllabus of instruction should be remodelled so as to enable more attention to be given to essential subjects. As a further means of lightening the syllabus the Board also suggested that drawing should be made a class-subject, with the exception of geometrical drawing, plan-drawing, and drawing to scale. A special examination in agricultural science was held for prizes and certificates of merit offered by Professor Thomas, of the Auckland University College. An examination in elementary freehand and model drawing was also held for prizes and certificates awarded by the Auckland Society of Arts. Arrangements have recently been made by the Government to provide instruction in military drill for the boys attending the schools in the city and suburbs of Auckland. Inspection.—The report of the Inspectors of Schools deals with the subject of inspection and examination. Two changes have been introduced by the Board the time of the standard examinations has been extended, as far as possible, to the latter period of the school year and the Inspectors have been authorised to continue their work for a second year over the same division of the education district. Scholarships.—Thirty-two junior and seventeen senior district scholarships were held during the year The holders attended the Auckland College and Grammar School and the Thames High School. Free tuition at the secondary schools is granted to a certain number of those pupils who pass the examination with credit. Provision has been made for the admission of district scholars to private schools (one for boys and another for girls) subject to their inspection by the InspectorGeneral of Schools. The choice of school is left to the option of the parents. Finance. —The receipts from all sources amounted to £91,448 os. 10d., including a balance of £7,656 18s. 6d. brought forward at the beginning of the year The expenditure during the year amounted to £78,088 12s. 5d., leaving an unexpended balance of £16,359 Bs. sd. at the end of the year A sum of £5,000, being part of the accrued surplus on Maintenance Account," was transferred to the Building Fund Account for expenditure on buildings, chiefly in providing residences for teachers. The statutory capitation grant of £3 15s. for each child in average attendance was applied (approximately) as follows On teachers'salaries, £3 os. Bd. per head on grants to Committees (including painting and repair of school-buildings and supply of school stationery), 6s. 5d., on inspection and examination, 2s. on departmental management, Is. lOd. balance unexpended, 4s. Id. total, £3 15s. Several changes in the financial operations have been introduced during the year The practice of requiring Committees to contribute one-half the cost of painting schoolbuildings has been abandoned. Grants for fencing and other minor improvements and repairs are voted in the proportion of £2 for every pound contributed by Committees from School Fund. In deference to the opinion expressed by the Minister of Education the Board has undertaken to defray the cost of school requisites, which had previously been supplied by teachers and charged to the scholars. At the end of the year the Maintenance Account showed a credit balance of £5,212 3s. after providing for all liabilities thereon. The Building Fund showed a debit balance of £590 16s. 9d., representing liabilities incurred in anticipation of next year's grant. Buildings.—As stated in the preceding paragraph the Board has been obliged to anticipate the next parliamentary grant for school-buildings, notwithstanding the addition of £5,000 to the Building Fund from ordinary Maintenance Account. A sum of at least £8,000 is required in order to meet existing demands for buildings. It is difficult to estimate prospective requirements. Every new settlement requires a school, and the success of a settlement may depend in no small degree upon the readiness with which the means of education are supplied. In the matter of teachers' residences Auckland is a long way behind most of the other districts of the colony No fewer than 113 schools are still unprovided with teachers' dwellings. The Board is doing its utmost to place teachers on an equal footing in this respect. But without the aid of a special grant for the purpose it will be impossible to provide dwellings for all. Mr Allright, who for the past fourteen years has ably filled the position of architect of school-buildings, has retired from office, and the Board regrets the loss of his services. Committees. —It has been the aim of the Board to uphold the decisions of Committees in all matters relating to the welfare of the schools in their respective districts, and to promote a feeling of mutual confidence in the exercise of the functions which devolve upon the Committees and the Board. B. Udy, Chairman.

TAEANAKI. Sic, — Education Board, New Plymouth, April, 1892. In the terms of "The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to transmit the report of the Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1891. Boaed.—At the annual election in March Messrs. H. Faull, T Kelly, and E. Olson were the retiring members for the year, the whole of whom were re-elected. The Board then consisted of Mr T Kelly (Chairman), Miss Heywood, Messrs. J Andrews, G. A. Adlam, E. 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—viz., Mr Kelly, 25 , Miss Heywood, 25 ' Mr. Andrews, 25, Mr Adlam, 24 Mr Bauchope, 24, Mr Faull, 25 Mr Olson, 22 , Mr Teed, 17, and Mr Wade, 24. Schools.—There were forty schools open at the beginning of the year, and two opened during the year—viz., the Hurford Eoad and the Pungarehu Schools (the latter being an aided school). Three schools—viz., Ngaire, Bird Eoad, and Cardiff Eoad Schools—were also taken over from the Wanganui Education Board on the Ist October, 1891, ma*king the total schools now in operation in the district forty-five. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of 1891 was eighty, with twenty-four sewing-teachers, making a total of 104, classified as follows—viz. :— Males. Females. Total. Head teachers 30 14 44 Assistant teachers 4 6 10 Pupil-teachers 3 23 26 Sewing-teachers 24 24 37 67 104 Owing to the low average of salaries in this district, it is almost impossible to secure the services of good teachers for many of our small schools, or, if obtained for a time, the position is simply used as an aid in obtaining advancement in other districts. The higher salaries offered by other Education Boards have the effect of depriving this Board, year by year, of the best teachers in our small schools, and the constant changes that consequently occur in the staffs of many of our schools make satisfactory progress a matter of impossibility The Board carefully revised its estimated revenue and expenditure for the year with the object of increasing the salaries of teachers, but so closely did the expenditure trench on the revenue that only a sum of £100 was available, which was allocated in granting an allowance of £10 a year to teachers of schools where no residence is provided. As the most rigid economy is exercised in the Board's expenditure, it is hopeless to expect better results under present conditions. It is difficult, under the present system of Board administration under a permanent Act, to provide a remedy for the inequality of teachers' salaries, except by a special parliamentary grant in aid. This difficulty might, to a certain extent, be improved by increasing the area of the district, and by the Government remitting to the Board the rents received from education reserves within the Board s jurisdiction. The policy of the Provincial Governments in the past was to endow education by setting apart 5 per cent, of the waste lands. This policy has been continued by the Waste Lands Board under central administration. It appears to the Board only reasonable, under the adverse circumstances stated, that the rents locally received ought to be locally applied to remedy the great disadvantages under which the Board labours in endeavouring to supply to children in this district the same educational facilities which are easily obtained in other districts of the colony The Board, therefore, ventures to hope that this matter will receive the favourable consideration of the Government.

Enlaegement op District.—Owing to the creation of a new county in the Taranaki Provincial District—viz., the Stratford County, which altered the boundaries of the Taranaki and Hawera Counties —it became necessary to reconstitute the boundary between the Taranaki and Wanganui Education Districts. This change of boundary added to this district three schools—viz , the Ngaire, Bird Boad, and Cardiff Eoad Schools, which are now under the administration of this Board. If the extension had included the whole of the Taranaki Provincial District it would have made a compact and easily-administered district, and the larger grants due to such a district would, under economical administration, have done much to remove the difficulties the Board has to encounter in securing good, permanent teachers for small schools. Attendance.—The roll-number on the 31st December, 1890, was 2,629 , on the 31st December of this year it had increased to 2,997 A portion of this increase, viz. 185, is due to the three new schools taken from the Wanganui District, leaving a net increase of children on the roll of 183, as against an increase of sixty-four for 1890. The average attendance for the year 1890 was 1,897 = 72 percent., and this year 2,094 = 72-3 per cent., showing a slight increase in the average attendance. In many of the schools the attendance is very irregular, and it is to be hoped that in the future the several Committees concerned will make strong endeavours to remedy such an unsatisfactory condition of affairs. Scholarships.—Four scholarships have been awarded by the Board to competitors who complied with the Board's regulations—viz., one B and three A Scholarships. These, together with the scholarships current at the end of the year, represent a money value of £142 yearly Buildings.—The small building grant made to the Board was only equal to making additions to the Okato and Stratford Schools, and a new residence at Urenui. Additions and repairs were also made to several schools and residences. Settlement is advancing rapidly in our forest lands, and large demands will soon be made on the Board for new schools, additions to existing schools, and also for residences in out-districts. To keep pace with actual settlement will be impossible in this district, so long as the Building Fund is mainly allocated on a population basis. Density of population is not the true measure of educational requirements. School Committees.—The various Committees, as a general rule, take an active interest in school work, and aid the Board in administration by undertaking all purely local work. Where the powers of the Board and of Committees overlap, and concurrence of action is required, difference of opinion must occasionally arise. The Board has endeavoured to work in harmony with Committees, and no serious difficulties have arisen during the year in administration arising out of dual authority The total payments made by the Board to the various School Committees during the year was £611 16s. lid. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Thomas Kelly, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sic, — Education Office, Wanganui, 15th February, 1892. In compliance with the provisions of the Education Act, I have the honour to forward you an account of this Board's proceedings for the year 1891 Boabd.-—Mr James W Baker, Mr Henry Sanson, and Mr George Hurley were the retiring members in December, 1890, and were all re-elected; and subsequently Mr Gilbert Carson was reelected Chairman. Since then no change has taken place in the Board's constitution. The present members consist of Gilbert Carson, Esq of Wanganui (Chairman), Henry Sanson, Esq., of Campbelltown, Sandon , George S. Bridge, Esq., of Waverley , Eev J Eoss, of Turakina, James W

E.—l

Baker, Esq., of Fordell, J H. Fry, Esq , of Makino , John Notman, Esq of Wanganui E. E. Beckett, Esq., of Marfcon, and G A. Hurley Esq of Manaia. The members who retire by rotation this year are Messrs. Carson and Ery and the Eev J Eoss. Schools. —Ninety-one schools were in operation in this district at the close of the year and three —viz., Ngaire, Cardiff Eoad, and Bird Eoad —had been taken over by the Taranaki Education Board, consequent upon the alteration in the boundaries of the two districts, the whole of the Stratford County being now absorbed in the Taranaki Education District. The ninety-one schools show a roll-number of 8,165 children, and an average attendance of 5,894 for the last quarter of 1891 The Board regrets that the average attendance upon the roll-number still continues very low in this district. For the last quarter of the year it was 7218, and for the whole year 74 , 67 per cent. The Board has constantly had this matter under consideration, and would be glad to find a remedy for the stigma which attaches to the district in this particular In many school districts the attendance was materially affected by the prevalence of the influenza epidemic, and a large number of the schools were closed—not only on account of the non-attendance of children, but in consequence of the teachers having been attacked by this scourge. It may here be mentioned that in schools where the attendance was reduced by reason of this complaint, and teachers thereby lost their certificate bonus, the amount was subsequently restored by the Board. Of the ninety-one schools above referred to, fourteen had an average of under 20 pupils, and are classed as aided schools fourteen had an average of between 20 and 24, thirty-two had an average of between 25 and 49, nine had an average of between 50 and 74, two had an average of between 75 and 99, eight had an average of between 100 and 149, eleven had an average of between 150 and 299, and one had an average of Teaching Staff. —The schools are staffed by 191 teachers, as follows, viz. thirty-four head male teachers and three head female teachers, forty-three sole male teachers and eleven sole female teachers, nine assistant male teachers and twenty-one assistant female teachers, twenty-two male pupil-teachers and forty-eight female pupil-teachers and junior assistants. Besides these there are twenty-four cadets in the service in training for pupil-teachers. School-buildings,—During the year contracts for new schools have been accepted at Bird Eoad, Pukeroa, Pemberton, Apiti, Castlecliff, and Kiwitea, and for new residences at Paraekaretu, Hiwinui, Kaponga, and Pukeroa. Additions to the school sites have been purchased at Warrengate and Waverley, and repairs have been made or extensive additions erected to the schools, residences, and grounds at Whenuakura, Karere, Warrengate, Waitotara, South Makirikiri, Carnarvon, Pohangina, Linton, Otakeho, Eata, Mount View, Momohaki, Ashurst, Marton, Wanganui, Campbelltown, Normanby, Waverley, Greatford, Eeilding, Kimbolton Eoad, Patea, Ngaire, Kohi, Bunnythorpe, and Awahuri. It will be seen from the above that the Board has expended the funds at its disposal in all parts of the district. Besides the above, a number of the schools have been painted, and this work will be continued from year to year as funds permit. In order to reduce the heavy charge for " house allowance on the General Account, it is the intention of the Board to build several residences during the current year Such a step is also rendered necessary in consequence of the difficulty experienced by many teachers in procuring suitable accommodation in outlying districts. School Disteicts. —New school districts have been formed at Pemberton and Apiti, and Cheltenham and Kimbolton Eoad districts have been divided, the latter of which will now be called Kiwitea. Spur Eoad has been renamed Pukeroa, Mangaone is changed to Colyton, and Midland Eoad will be called Aratika. At a cost of considerable time and trouble, special meetings of committees of the Board were held from time to readjust the boundaries of school districts where necessary, and they are now being published, and will be forwarded to the several School Committees interested in due course. Inspection.—ln April last the Board appointed Mr W E Spencer, M.A., B.Sc, Assistant Inspector of Schools, the work having grown altogether beyond the powers of one officer, and it is hoped that the heavy work which has hitherto fallen upon the Chief Inspector will now be lessened. Technical School op Abt and Design.—Eor some time past the Board have had under consideration the feasibility of establishing a technical school of art and design for this district, and with this end in view they have petitioned the Supreme Court for power to use the bequest of the late Dr Eees, of which they are the custodians, for the purpose, and also, if necessary, to assist the Girls' High School. Primary education being already amply provided for in this district, the Board are of opinion that the bequest cannot be better used than in providing technical education and advanced drawing. It is of course contemplated to use the interest on the-investments only Government have already promised a sum towards the building, and, should the Court grant the prayer of the petition, the Board will at once proceed to erect the school. The services of Mr David Blair a gentleman eminently qualified to fill the position of art master and lecturer, are now available, and the Board hope therefore that the object they have in view will soon be accomplished. Scholabships.—The usual competitive scholarships examination was held in June last simultaneously at Hawera, Wanganui, and Palmerston North. Eleven boys and six girls sat for the senior scholarships, and five awards were made. For the junior scholarships, eight boys and one girl competed, and three awards were made. Of the juniors, five qualified and five failed to obtain the requisite percentages. Of the seniors, eight qualified and five failed to obtain the requisite percentages. The scholarships are all for two years, and it is now a rule that they must be held either at the Wanganui Collegiate School, the Wanganui Girls' High School, or some other high school approved by the Board. Pupil-teachees.—The annual examination for pupil-teachers and candidates was conducted by the Inspector simultaneously with the scholarships examination. For the First Class, 9 were examined, and all passed , for the Second Class, 8 were examined, 7 passed, and 1 failed , for the Third Class, 29 were examined, 17 passed, and 12 failed making a total of 46 examined, 33 passed, and 13 failed.

WELLINGTON Sir,— Wellington, 30th March, 1892. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board submits the following report of its proceedings for the past year : — Board. —At the beginning of the year the members of the Board were—Mr J E. Blair (Chairman), Mr George Beetham, Mr A. W Brown, Mr Henry Bunny, Mr W C. Buchanan, Mr F H. Fraser, Mr J Young, Dr Newman, and the Eev James Paterson. Early in the year an extraordinary vacancy was caused by the death of Mr Henry Bunny, one of the oldest members of the Board. The seat on the Board was filled by the election of Mr W W McCardle. The three retiring members, Mr A. W Brown, Mr J Young, and the Eev J Paterson, were re-elected. During the year the Board has held twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting, with the following attendance J E. Blair 13 G Beetham, 10, A. W Brown, 12 W C. Buchanan, 11, F H. Fraser 12 W W McCardlo, 8, Dr Newman, 13 Eev J Paterson, 9 J Young, 12. The Finance Committee have met regularly each month, and thoroughly examined all accounts submitted for payment. The Technical School Committee also hold frequent meetings for the purpose of dealing with all matters affecting that institution. Schools. —There were eighty-three schools open at the end of last year with a total average of 10,653. During the year the new school at Ohau was opened, and also an aided school at Stokes Valley The aided schools at Kaiwhata, Waikanae, and Waikawa have been closed. The end of the year showed eighty-four schools in operation, with a total attendance of 11,175, an increase of 522. The schools are classified as follows Under 15 pupils, six schools ,15 and under 20 pupils, ten 20 and under 25 pupils, seven 25 and under 50 pupils, twenty-four 50 and under 75 pupils, nine 75 and under 100 pupils, seven 100 and under 150 pupils, six , 150 and under 300 pupils, five 300 and under 500 pupils, eight 500 pupils and upwards, two. There are eleven aided schools included in the above. The teaching staff shows the following arrangement Head of school, 50, sole teachers, 35 ; assistants, 75 , pupil-teachers, 123 sewing-teachers, 10.

Buildings.—During the year new schools have been erected at Kaitawa, Ballance, Kaituna. Whakataki, and Ohau. At Whakataki it was necessary to purchase a site for the school, Considerable additions have been made to the schools at Hast well, Pahiatua, Taueru, Dalefield, Pitone, and Shannon. Teachers' residences have been built at Belvedere, Paraparautnu, Porirua, and Ohariu. At Masterton a suitable acre of land has been secured for an infants' school, but the Board has not yet been able to erect the building. Even without meeting many important claims for new buildings, the Board s balance-sheet shows the sum of £5,137 15s. 6d. expended under this head a considerable portion of this amount has been absorbed in permanent improvements and additional appliances. Technical School and New Offices.—ln 1887 the Board agreed to provide a suitable building for the work of the technical school, and more adequate office accommodation. As the annual building grant would not admit of the expenditure on this work being met by direct payment from the building grant, the Board agreed to the Chairman's resolution to carry out the work at the expense of the contractor on the following terms The contractor to find the necessary capital to carry on and complete the building, such capital to bear interest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum , the Board, out of its Building Fund or any other funds available for such purpose, to reduce the capital sum owing to the contractors by a sum of not less than £500 annually until the amount owing to the contractors be liquidated. As briefly referred to in last year's report, the Board accepted the tender of Messrs. Barry and McDowell for the erection of the Board's new office, the building also to provide accommodation for carrying on the technical training of the teachers and others. The contract price under the above conditions, in accordance with the plans prepared by Mr Thomas Turnbull, the Board's architect, was £5,999 10s. In July last the whole work was completed in a most substantial and satisfactory manner, and the Board were placed in possession of the building. The removal of the technical school from the old premises rented in Brandon Street has enabled Mr Eiley to provide adequately for the instruction of teachers and students in the different branches of this work. Day classes are held for drawing, painting, and modelling, painting landscape from nature, geometry and perspective and night classes for drawing and modelling, geometry and perspective, drawing and painting from life, architectural drawing and building construction, mechanical drawing and machine construction. Scholabships.—The annual examination for Board scholarships was held on the 14th and 15th of December, and was, as usual, conducted by the Board's Inspectors. There were twenty-two candidates from the Wairarapa district, the same number from the country districts, and fifty-eight from the schools within the city—in all, 102 candidates came up for examination The successful ones were [eight boys and seven girlsj Committees.—The valuable assistance and co-operation of the School Committees in all matters affecting the welfare of the education system has been of great assistance to the Board in the performance of its functions. I have, &c. The Hon. the Minister of Education. J E. Blaib, Chairman.

Bepokt op the Dibectob of the Technical School. Sir,— Wellington, 30fch March, 1892. 1 have the honour to submit my report upon primary drawing and the work of the Technical School for 1891, as follows :— Peimaby Dbawing.—Primary drawing has made satisfactory progress during the year The larger schools have, as in former years, been visited, and information afforded the staff generally

where such was deemed necessary The schools are well supplied with models and appliances for the instruction required. Clay-modelling has been more firmly established during the year, and considerable success is shown in the working. This, with the aid of the small models supplied, has led to a very decided improvement in the knowledge of form. In the first or primary grade drawing examination the following results were obtained The total number of papers issued was 4,223, and the number worked was 3,750. Papers in freehand, I,377—passed 557, failed 820, model, 350—passed 143, failed 207 geometrical, I,l64—passed 743, failed 421 scale, 859—passed 460, failed 399 total, 3,7 so—passed 1,903, failed 1,847 Number of papers excellent, 130, and good, 244. Number of individual candidates presented, 2,545, passed, 1,490. Number of schools presenting candidates, 65. The increase upon 1890 is as follows Papers worked, 676, individual candidates, 613 , individual passes, 85, schools presenting candidates, 9. In this examination no less than 473 papers were applied for and not required, thus entailing a considerable amount of unnecessary labour and expense. It is therefore evident that more careful judgment should be shown in the application for papers. The freehand papers were not equal to the usual standard of work, the proportions of the figure being in a very large number of cases exceedingly weak. This is most important, and closer attention should therefore be given to this point. There is also room for considerable improvement in the lining-in, but this is of minor importance to proportion and method of blocking in the sketch. There were about two hundred papers by candidates which ought never to have been presented. Apparently some teachers think it necessary to submit a whole class, whereas it is only desirable that those candidates should be presented who are likely to succeed, this not being the ordinary standard examination in drawing. The geometrical and scale papers were generally fair Many of the passes were very neat, but some of the papers were very roughly worked, and, as neatness and accuracy are necessary in these sections, those papers were thrown out. In the scale section good knowledge of the work was shown. In model-drawing a decided advance has been made, more especially in the Thorndon and Newtown Schools, where some excellent results were obtained. The general weakness, however, was in the drawing of the board upon which the objects were placed one of the best tests in modeldrawing), and the direction of the lines of the book as against those of the board. As showing the appreciation of the primary-drawing system, applications have been made for examination from several centres outside the Wellington District. At the first examination, in 1884, there were 81 papers passed, and at the last, in 1891, there were 1,903 papers passed and 3,750 worked. The number of full certificates issued up to date is 225. Scholars holding full first-grade certificates in the city schools to the number of twenty-nine have received regular instruction in the Technical School during the year Instruction to teachers has been continued, as usual, daily throughout the year, with special Wednesday and Saturday classes, and very satisfactory results have been obtained, the average number on the roll being 128. The decision of the Board that special attention should be given, in new appointments of head teachers and first and second assistants, to the drawing qualifications of candidates for appointment has had some effect, but there are still a considerable number who are making no attempt to obtain the necessary instruction in model-drawing, and hence the failure of many schools to comply with the requirements, or obtain drawing scholarships. The following teachers were successful in the South Kensington third-grade art examination :— Kate Lawson third-grade prize for geometrical drawing, first-class pass in outline drawing from the cast, and drawings in both the above stages were accepted towards the art-class teacher's certificate. Clara Treadwell first-class pass in shading from the cast, first-class pass in outline from the cast, and work accepted towards the certificate. The following teachers have also obtained the full second-grade South Kensington certificate George A. Jones, Kate Lawson, Mary Newton, Clara Treadwell. A very large number of the teachers are now competing annually in the English examinations, and with excellent results. On the reorganization of the school when we removed to the new building a fee of 2s. 6d. per quarter was authorised for teachers in the Board's service attending any evening class. A fee of Is. per head was authorised as registration fee for all candidates for second-grade local examinations. Technical School.—Number of students (average for year) Drawing and painting—day, 43 , drawing—evening artisan, 57 , machine-drawing, 18 architectural and building construction, 13 , teachers and pupil-teachers, 128 geometry and perspective, 13 , primary scholars, 29 , Masterton Branch closed), 6, Newtown Branch, 10 total, 317 Ebmoval to New Premises, and Organization.—During the months of June and July the work of the school was interfered with by the removal to our new premises. The accommodation now provided has, however, made the working of the classes in every sense more satisfactory and pleasant. Each class-room is fitted for some special section of the work —lockers, racks, and other conveniences for the students' appliances are provided, and in every way the change is a great relief after the difficulties of the old school. The new arrangements made by the Technical Committee have been the means of rendering the instruction of the various classes much more efficient and thorough. Machine-drawing and Building Consteuction.—Both these classes have increased in number and efficiency In the machine class, Mr Ferguson, who examined the work, states in his report, "I am glad to find that they intelligently understood what they were drawing, and that they were not merely copying without knowing the reasons underlying their work." In the architectural drawing and building construction considerable improvement is manifest. Mr Campbell, the instructor, commenced, during the latter half of the year, a course of practical

65

E.—l

lectures upon building construction, with satisfactory results. Four students obtained passes in elementary building construction, the examiner being Mr P de J Clere. Drawing and Painting, Day and Evening Classes.—These classes have all shown a steady increase in numbers, and the value of the work done is quietly advancing, although the year's work was considerably disturbed by the work of fitting up the class-rooms being in progress for about six weeks during class-days, altogether fully two months maybe taken from the year's work owing to removal and consequent new arrangements. In connection with these classes the following prizes were awarded by the Science and Art Department of South Kensington in the national competition Painting from still life, Jessie M. Hardy third-grade prize , painting from plant form, Mabel Hill, national book and third-grade prizes, painting from the cast, Margaret Campbell, third-grade prize painting from the cast, Edith Glover, third-grade prize geometrical drawing, Minnie Kelly third-grade prize, geometrical drawing, Kate Lawson, third-grade prize. About twenty-five teachers in the Board s service have availed themselves of the evening-class instruction. I regret that no adequate provision is made by the authorities of the Girls' High School for the teaching of this important branch of education. A number of the students are in attendance, but they arrive at from 3.30 to 3.45 (not by any means fit for the work, coming, as they do, direct from school labours) This leaves only about three-quarters of an hour for class work. Under these conditions no satisfactory work can be done. I would urge that one afternoon be set aside, as at the College and other secondary schools, there will then be a prospect of something being done. Examinations. —The usual examinations were held during the year As some misunderstanding exists with regard to the grades, an explanation of the same is here given. First grade is the lowest, and relates to drawing as taught in primary schools only second grade is the intermediate stage and third the highest grade, and includes technical and ordinary drawing and painting in all stages. Examinations are held locally as well as by the South Kensington authorities. No better instance of the value of examinations in our case can be given than the returns showing the number of papers presented at the first annual examination and at the last. In the first year, 1886, the number was 1,157, and in the last examination, 1891, the number was 4,228. This is conclusive proof of the impetus given, and, further, the work being in all cases practical, good results ensue even if success is not individually obtained, as time-sketching is of considerable importance at the present day Second- and Third-gbade Local Examinations. —Total number of papers taken, 478, as follows In second grade, 354 in third grade, 124. Subdivision of Second Grade. —Blackboard drawing, 39 candidates—l 9 passes, 20 failures, Freehand drawing, 126 candidates 84 passes, 42 failures model-drawing, 105 candidates — 60 passes, 45 failures geometrical drawing, 44 candidates—22 passes, 22 failures, perspective drawing, 40 candidates —30 passes, 10 failures total, 354 candidates —215 passes, 139 failures. Number of individual candidates examined, 208 and successful, 149. In the third-grade subjects 44 candidates were examined, and 31 were successful. Science and Art Department, South Kensington.— Third-grade works for the national competition were submitted as in previous years, seven prizes being awarded, as previously mentioned. The total number of works submitted by 241 48,636, and, of these, 2,015 works were selected for competition. The results concerning our own school may therefore be considered satisfactory In the certificate works 48 were submitted and 33 were accepted. In the personal examinations 35 papers were taken in the various stages, and 24 passes were obtained, as follows Painting from still life—Second Class, Mary E. Richardson, Mabel Hill. plant-drawing—First Class, Mabel Hill shading from the cast—First Class, Eobert Anderson, Madeline Browne, Edith Given, Mary Lingard, Clara Treadwell, Mary Young, Second Class, Maria Evans, Ida Watty shading from models —First Class, Eobert Anderson, Madeline Browne, Mary Young, Second Class, Maria Evans, Mary Lingard outline from the cast —First Class, Eobert Anderson, Madeline Browne, Mary Lawson, Clara Treadwell, Mary Young Second Class, Maria Evans, Edith Given, Mary Lingard. The following now hold the full art-class teacher's certificate, the names being placed in order of seniority Mary E. Eichardson, Marion Bronsdon (partially taken in England), Emma Holmes, Mary Allan, Eobert N Anderson, Mabel Hill, Madeline Browne (Wangamii Art School) The results of the second grade examinations, South Kensington, were as follows Freehand— 98 papers, 50 passes —7 First Class excellent, 8 First Class, 35 Second Class ; perspective —39 papers, 12 passes—4 First Class excellent, 4 First Class, 4 Second Class, model —57 papers, 37 passes —6 First Class excellent, 9 First Class, 22 Second Class, Geometrical—34 papers, 30 passes (pass only required) total, 228 papers, 129 passes —17 First Class excellent, 21 First Class, 61 Second Class. The above includes students from various places who are not students of the school. The following have this year completed their Kensington full second-grade certificate Eobert Anderson, Mary Allan, Madeline Browne, Julia Hart, George Jones, Kate Lawson, Mary Newton, Harry Seed, Clara Treadwell. The total number of local papers examined during the year was 4,228, being a considerable increase upon the previous year The number of certificates issued in all grades since the school was established is 9,062, subdivided as follows . Primary or first grade, 6,830 , second grade, 1,503 , third grade, 347 , South Kensington certificates, 382. Distribution of Prizes and Certificates.—The prizes and certificates were presented in the large hall, in September last, by Sir James Hector, K.C.M.G., &c, Chancellor of the New Zealand University, the Chairman of the Board, Mr J E. Blair, presiding. The rooms of the school were afterwards thrown open, and the work of the students inspected. 9—E 1.

Library and Periodicals.—The library now consists of 120 volumes upon technical matters. These are lent to the students as their studies require. The library has been increased during the year by about a dozen works, and many donations have been made. Genekal.—The Masterton Branch closed during the latter part of the year, owing to the difficulty of obtaining a suitable instructor upon the retirement of Miss Holmes, who resided in Masterton. There seems to be a general impression that students attending the Technical School have perforce to go through such a tedious grounding that it is at least two or three years before a student is allowed to paint in water- or oil-colour This is decidedly not the case, and has an injurious effect on the school. I certainly ask that a student should have at least an elementary knowledge of drawing and light and shade, otherwise it is utterly impossible to paint correctly No amount of paint elaborately put on will make a picture or a good design. Good sound drawing is the basis of true work, and nothing can be done without it. Our school is not for the purpose of teaching persons to paint pretty things as an amusement, but to give knowledge that may be useful and practical in daily life. I may say that a student working steadily upon the ordinary class days in each week should reach the water-colour work in at least six or nine months. I have, &c, The Chairman of the Wellington Education Board. A. D Eiley, Director

HAWKB'S BAY Sir, — Education Office, Napier, Ist January 1392. In accordance with the requirements of " The Education Act, 1877, I have the honour to report upon the condition of education in this district. The following gentlemen composed the Board for the year 1891 The Hon. J D Ormond, M.L.C. (Chairman) Captain W E. Bussell, M.H.E., G H. Swan, Esq , M.H.E., Eev D Sidey, H. Baker, Esq., J W Carlile, Esq. E. Harding, Esq , l< 1 Sutton, Esq , and T Tanner, Esq Schools and School Districts. —Several new districts have been gazetted, and some of the old ones altered and enlarged to meet the requirements of the district. Arrangements have been made to open new schools at the commencement of the year at Maharahara, near Woodville, at Tiniroto, centrally situated between Wairoa and Gisborne and a subsidised school at Waipiro Bay, on the East Coast also, arrangements are partly completed to start an assisted school at Port Awanui, near East Cape. School-buildings.—The Board regret they have been unable to meet the demand for buildings. The main part of the Building Fund apportioned to this district last year was expended in necessary additions, repairs, and enlargements to existing schools, leaving several much-needed requirements unprovided-for, although the Board assisted the Government grant by a sum of £1,000 from the School Fund. The teacher's residence at Waipawa that was burnt down has been rebuilt. I cannot too strongly impress upon the Government the urgent necessity for an increase of the building grant for next year, in order that provision may be made for the necessary additional school accommodation and also for teachers' residences. The want of the latter in country districts especially is a great drawback —in many instances teachers have to live in unsuitable homes. I regret to have to repeat in this report what has been stated in many previous yearly reports—that the funds placed at the Board s disposal for providing school accommodation are totally inadequate to enable the Board to properly give effect to the requirements of the Education Act, and I trust that this year more suitable provision may be made. School Attendance. —The following return shows a comparative statement of the number of children on the roll and the average attendance in the schools under the Board from 1878 to date [not all reprinted] :—

School Committees. —The School Committees still continue to do good work, and several of them have shown their appreciation of the Board's endeavours to assist them, by subscribing liberally towards repairing school-buildings, fencing, &c. The Board have in every instance, where funds at their disposal permitted, fostered this principle of self-reliance, and will continue to do so where practicable. The Board have thought it advisable in the interests of education to make a slight departure from the course hitherto pursued by the Board in the appointment of teachers, in selecting by a committee of the Board the most eligible applications, and forwarding such selected applications to the School Committees to recommend from, instead of sending the whole of the applications, as was formerly done. Scholabships.—Twenty-four scholarships have been granted this year making the number of existing scholarships up to thirty-seven, and it is pleasing to note that several of the smaller schools have successfully competed. The principle upon which some of the Commissioners' scholarships

are granted will, it is hoped, lead to good results, the object being to give the opportunity to clever scholarship-holders who have already obtained a scholarship in the district schools to compete for further scholarships, and so continue their studies for two years longer This, it is hoped, may prove a connecting-link between the High School and the University Sewing.—This subject, I regret to state, has not received that consideration which it requires. It has been found necessary to draw the attention of the Inspector of Schools to the matter The competition for sewing prizes presented by B. Harding, Esq., was this year meagre in the extreme. The report of the lady examiners upon the sewing specimens from the respective schools for last year, together with their suggestions, will be published appended to this report, and the Board trust they will receive that attention which their importance claims. Popil teachebs. —Eorty-eight of all years presented themselves for examination. My attention has been drawn to the preponderance of female pupil-teachers over males, only eight of the latter appearing for examination, against forty of the former This is to be regretted, as a difficulty must eventually arise, should such continue, in providing locally-trained masters to take charge of our schools. Income and Expenditure . —The income of the Board from all sources amounts to £25,607 14s. 2d., to which should be added balance from last year of £1,742 os. Id., making the total amount of income £27,349 14s. 3d. The expenditure shows the cost of maintenance of schools, School Committees, together with £1,000 paid to Building Fund, to be £19,933 14s.

MABLBOBOUGH. g IE Education Office, Blenheim, 6th April, 1892. I have the honour to submit the report of the Education Board of the District of Marlborough for the year ending 31st December, 1891. The Boabd.—-The members retiring by rotation in March, 1891, having been re-elected without opposition, the Board consists of the same persons as reported last year—viz., Mr A. P Seymour (Chairman), the Hon. Colonel Baillie, M.L.C., Messrs. Carter, Hutcheson, Mills, Parker, Paul, 11. Seymour, and Ward. The Board held twelve meetings during the year, and the average attendance of members was 6-75. Schools.—The number of schools in the district has increased from thirty-six to forty-three. Nine schools were opened and two closed. The cause of the closing of one of these (Endeavour Inlet) was the cessation of work at the antimony mine in that locality, which compelled nearly all the inhabitants to leave the district. The new schools are nearly all small aided family schools, situated for the most part in the Sounds County One aided school, Birchwood, has been temporarily established in the Okaramio district, to meet the requirements of persons living rather far from the Okaramio School, until the Board is in the position to make more satisfactory arrangements. Attendance. —The number of children on the rolls of the Marlborough schools has increased from 1,947 at the end of 1890 to 2,040 at the end of 1891, and the average attendance has risen from 1,500 to 1,660 during the same period.

f The sum o£ £500 advanced by the. Commissioners is included in this, leaving the actual balance £2,463 18s. 6d,

Finances. —The state of the Board's finances has received long and careful consideration during the past year The Board found itself with a steadily-decreasing credit balance, and was constantly receiving applications for increase of salary, or for grants for maintenance to small schools. It was therefore resolved, in order to avoid drifting into an unsatisfactory financial position, to put a stop to applications of this nature by adopting a scale of staffs and salaries, and of payments to Committees. In the course of the investigations it was discovered that the Board's contributions to the Committees' School Fund wore on a scale far too liberal to be safely continued, some Committees receiving twice as much as would be paid to them in the most liberal of the larger education districts , while with regard to salaries the absence of any fixed scale of payment caused continual applications for increase of pay, and many inconsistencies resulted from the manner in which these applications were dealt with. After carefully examining and comparing the regulations in force in other parts of the colony the Board drew up a scale of payments to teachers and Committees from which no departure will be permitted so long as they remain in force. The new scale being necessarily less liberal than the old, both as regards salaries and Committees' allowances, it was resolved to bring it into operation gradually as regards the teachers, so as to avoid any tmnecessary hardship to deserving servants of the Board. The Committees, however, received notice that at the end of the then current year the new scale of capitation would come into force. The majority of the Committees appear to have recognised the necessity for the change, and to bo willing to assist the Board in its efforts to maintain the education district in a creditable financial position. School-buildings.—The small amount received by the Board for school-buildings of late years has been to a great extent absorbed in the improvement and enlargement of existing buildings, and no funds have been available for other important works. The condition of some of the schoolbuildings, as described in the Inspector's report, is not satisfactory and is due to the causes therein referred to , but, as it is still possible for the children to be taught in them, the rebuilding of these schools must be deferred until some future day The destruction of the Wairau Valley School by fire has already been reported to the department, and the erection of the new building is now proceeding, the school being held meanwhile in a building rented for the purpose. The Inspector's report, which accompanies this, will supply all the information required as to the state of elementary education in this district. It is satisfactory to notice that those schools which have generally been reported upon favourably by the late Inspector have maintained their reputation under fresh criticism. Where adverse judgments have also been corroborated it will be necessary for the Board to take action to bring about a change. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. A. P Setmoub, Chairman.

NELSON Sib,— Nelson, 2nd March, 1892. I have the honour to lay before you the report of the Nelson Board of Education for the year ending the 31st December 1891 The members of the Board at the beginning of the year were—The Bishop of Nelson (Chairman the Hon. Joseph Shephard, Messrs. Clayden, Tarrant, Phillips, Harkness, Dencker, Hursthouse, Talbot. At the annual election of three members of the Board, held the 14th March, the retiring members were re-elected. On the resignation of the Bishop of Nelson, Major Franklyn was elected

69

E.—l

a member of the Board, Mr H. A. Tarrant being elected Chairman by the Board. One special and twelve ordinary meetings of the Board were held during the year, the average number of members present at each meeting being seven. Ninety-three schools were at work at the close of 1891, with a roll-number of 5,828. The average attendance at the same date was 4,572, being an increase of ninety on the previous year The teaching staff at that time consisted of 168 teachers of all grades. Fifty-six of these were male, 112 female teachers. Forty-one probationers (equivalent to pupil-teachers) are also included in this list. Six school districts have been constituted during the year Church Hill, Granity Creek, Murchison, Pokororo, Pariwhakaho, Cronadun. The new scale of salaries, which makes the rate of remuneration dependent on the number of scholars in daily attendance, has stood very well the test of six months' trial, and appears to have removed many heartburnings and complaints as to inequality of remuneration. It has at least the great merit of simplicity and certainty and is not open to the objection, to which more complicated and theoretically more perfect systems of adjusting salaries are liable, that where the income of a teacher is determined by several constantly-varying factors he never knows, from quarter to quarter what his actual earnings may be. Judging by the steady increase in the number of teachers in the Board's service who gain certificates at the annual examinations, the personnel of the staff would appear to be much better than it was a few years ago. At the present rate of progress in this respect the uncertificated teacher will have altogether disappeared from the Board's list at the end of two or three years, especially as no uncertificated teacher has now any chance of employment except as an assistant, or as a teacher of a small aided school, and then only if no holder of a certificate is an applicant. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. H. A. Tarbant, Chairman.

GEEY Sib, — Education Office, Greymouth, 2nd March, 1892. I have the honour to present the report of the proceedings of the Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1891, as provided by clause 102 of ' The Education Act, 1877 " The members of the Board during the past year were—Messrs. Nancarrow, Marshall, White, and Smith (nominated), and Messrs. Kerr, Petrie, and Byrne (elected) At the meeting held on the 14th April Mr Kerr was re-elected Chairman of the Board, and on the same date Mr Nancarrow was re-elected to represent the Board on the High School Board. Thirteen meetings were held during the year—twelve ordinary and one special meeting. The respective attendances of members are as follows Mr White, 13 , Messrs. Nancarrow, Kerr, Petrie, Smith, and Byrne, 11 each, Mr Marshall, 9. There were eighteen school districts during the year, the Eichardson District being the additional one. At the end of the year there were seven uncertificated teachers in the employ of the Board, as against eight at the end of 1890. At the examination for certificates held in January three pupil-teachers and one teacher sat for an E certificate, one teacher and one junior assistant to complete E Three pupil-teachers and one teacher sat for a D certificate. Eeturn No. 2 gives a list of scholars under the headings of " Ages," " Standards, and " Subjects of Instruction, the total number being 1,697 The average weekly roll-number for the year was 1,780, showing a reduction of thirty-five on the previous year's average. The average attendance was 1,365, as compared with 1,410 for 1890, a reduction of forty-five, involving a loss of revenue amounting to £168 15s.

On the General Account the Board received during the year £5,582 ss. Bd., and expended £5,715 19s. The debit balance on the Ist January, 1891, was £316 Bs. 7d., on the 31st December, £450 Is. lid., showing an increase of £133 13s. 4d. There was therefore a reduction of expenditure for the year amounting to £35 Is. Bd., the deficiency being caused by falling-off of revenues. On General Account the assets at the end of the year amounted to £279 3s. 2d. and the liabilities to £503 13s. 6d., leaving a debit of £224105. 4d. On Building Account the assets were £733 4s. 5d., and the liabilities £32 15s. 6d., leaving a credit of £700 Bs. lid. On Building Account the Board received during the year £1,890, and expended £665 12s. 10d. The debit balance at the beginning of the year was £491 2s. 9d. the credit balance at the end of the year was £733 4s. sd. No new buildings were erected during the year Eepairs were effected at all schools excepting Kynnersley Orwell Creek, Ngahere, Eed Jack's, and Marsden. The largest expenditure upon a country school was at Westbrook, the cost of repairing and painting the schoolhouse and teacher's residence, and fencing school reserve,'being £99 Bs. 3d. Cobden coming next with £45 17s. 9d. Excepting Westbrook School, there was not a school at the end of the year but required some expenditure upon the building. The Board desires to thank the Minister for his liberality in connection with the supplementary building grant. At the same time it is necessary to point out that the total amount allotted to the Board was still insufficient to meet all the requirements of the district. At the end of the year eighteen pupil-teachers were employed and two probationers. The new regulations for the employment and payment of pupil-teachers, adopted by the Board and approved by the Minister, are likely to secure the engagement of the scholars most suitable for the occupation The Board made representations to the Eailway Commissioners concerning the charges for railway travelling for teachers, and asked for further concessions, without effect. Though the results of the Inspector's examination show a slight falling-off from the year 1890, the Board considers there is cause for satisfaction with the general condition of the schools. As provided by the regulations, four scholarships were competed for in January 1891—two for town schools (Greymouth and Cobden) and two for country schools. The town scholarships were awarded. None of the country competitors gained the percentage (60) necessary for obtaining a scholarship, and consequently none were awarded. Thirteen pupil-teachers were examined in December under the Government regulations. Seven passed with credit, and the remainder passed, one or two rather weakly The Board would again press upon your consideration the very low salaries paid in the district, and respectfully request your assistance m improving them. Small educational districts such as this are difficult to manage satisfactorily with the capitation at present allowed, and the Board would urge upon your consideration the advisability of granting an additional ss. per head of average attendance. Though the manner of conducting the election of Committees was altered considerably by the Act of 1890, very little difficulty was experienced in giving effect to the provisions of the Act. The Board desires to express its recognition of the assistance rendered by the Committees in this matter and generally in managing the educational affairs of the district. I am, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. James Keee, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sib,— Hokitika, 20th February, 1892. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Board of Education for the year 1891, as required by the 102 nd clause of the Education Act. The Boabd.—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following gentlemen Messrs. Jack, Seddon, and Will, elected members and Messrs. Bevan, Grimmond, Mueller (Chairman and McWhirter, nominated by the Government. In the month of May and consequent on his removal to another part of the colony, Mr Mueller severed his long and useful connection with the Board by resignation, and John E. Hudson, Esq , was nominated by the Government to fill the vacancy thus caused, Mr Bevan succeeding Mr Mueller as chairman. Mr Will, having also left the district, did not attend the Board's meetings after October In January Mr Bevan was elected the Board's representative on the High School Board of Governors, and in June Mr Grimmond was appointed School Commissioner in succession to Mr Mueller. The Board held twenty-six sittings in all in the course of the year—viz., twelve ordinary, seven special, and seven meetings of special committees. The following shows the attendance of individual members at these sittings Mr Bevan, 22, Mr Grimmond, 14; Mr Hudson, 12, Mr Jack, 23 Mr Mueller, 9 Mr Seddon, 1 Mr McWhirter, 14 , and Mr Will, 24. Schools.—The number of schools under the jurisdiction of the Board this year has been thirtyone, being one less than the previous year This was in consequence of a small aided school at the Upper Otira, worked as a half-time school with that of the Lower Otira, having been discontinued at the close of last year Of the thirty-one, ten are aided schools , and four including two of the aided ones, are half-time schools , whilst, as one of the remainder is simply a side school, the number of schools appearing in the Board's return is only twenty-eight. It should be added that six of the aided schools are held in the private houses of settlers, an arrangement which, though not the best, is the best the case has hitherto admitted of. For one of these, however the Wanganui School, the Board has now been able to erect a proper schoolhouse, on a site midway between the two Wanganui Eivers, and it will thus begin the new year under better auspices as the Inter-Wanganui School. Hokitika District High School.—As far as the experience of the last twelvemonth goes, the Board has every reason to be satisfied with the result of the change made at the close of 1890 in the status of the Hokitika School, by which it was converted into a district high school. A class of nearly a score has been in full work at matriculation subjects throughout the year, and, as the Inspector's report shows, with satisfactory results. Nor have the primary classes of the school suffered at all by the change, as the Board, through the increased income derived from the High School Board and the fees of pupils, has been enabled to strengthen the general staff of the school to the extent of two more assistant teachers, so that the elementary classes have profited rather than lost by the new arrangement. Attendance.—ln regard to the number of children attending the schools, the number on the school-roll at the end of the year was 1,625, as against 1,665 of 1890. Similarly the average attendance for the year was 1,362, as against 1,386 in the previous year With respect to regularity of attendance, the ratio of daily attendance to weekly roll-number for the year shows a slight improvement, being 81*7 or a fraction better than last year Of course this is not regarded by the Board as a satisfactory ratio, but an efficient method of securing regularity of attendance on the part of scholars seems still one of the unsolved problems of educational science. TbacheeS; —At the present time the teaching staff of the Board consists in all of sixty-five teachers, forty-one of whom are above the rank of pupil-teachers. These forty-one may be divided into twenty-eight who are either head teachers or sole teachers of schools, four male assistants, and nine female assistants. Of the twenty-eight first mentioned twelve are females, making therefore in all twenty-one female teachers and twenty male teachers in the employ of the Board. It should be added that eighteen of the number are still unclassified. Lastly, the remainder of the staff consists of one sewing-teacher, three monitors, and twenty pupil-teachers, of whom fourteen are females. Buildings.—ln respect of new buildings not much has been done. One small schoolroom has been erected between the two Wanganui Eivers, as already stated, and a much-needed residence for the teacher has been built at Goldsborough, as also a very small one purchased for the use of the teacher of the Kawhaka School. Other expenditure has been the erection of outhouses at Stafford and Woodstock, and the addition of a class-room to the Humphrey's School, whilst sums, smaller or larger, have been devoted to repairs, painting, or fencing, in connection with all the Board's schools except three. Five schools are still without residences—viz., Humphrey's, Donoghue's, Wanganui, Bruce Bay, and Arawata. The most pressing need at the present time, however, is that of a building for a side-school in the rising townships of Dillman's and Larrikins' where, of younger children alone, there are no less than seventy-two of school-age, whilst forty-five of these are practically cut off by distance, in this climate, from all school opportunities. The building vote for the year being, however, already bespoken twice over, the Board has no funds at its disposal to meet this new claim. Inspectobship.—A new appointment has again had to be made to the office of Inspector, in consequence of the demise of the gentleman appointed last year, Mr E B. Dixon The Board placed on record its sincere regret at the loss of Mr Dixon's services, and its recognition of the work he had done in the cause of education. Mr John Gammell, 8.A., the recently-appointed Sector of the Hokitika District High School, was promoted to the vacant office of Inspector and Secretary, and was succeeded at the High School by Mr T H. Gill, M.A., of Dunedin. Scholarships.—The new arrangements for scholarships consequent on the establishment of the District High School appear to work well, and enable the Board to greatly extend the usefulness of the scholarship grant. At the scholarship examination held in January, three candidates—■ two from the country and one from Hokitika—were the recipients of scholarships, instead of one as

E.—l

formerly, and these have since been studying in the Bector's class at the Hokitika District High School, in accordance with the new regulations of the Board. Finance. —The Building Account shows a credit balance of £471 55., but this includes the departmental grant of £420 just made, and which is all the Board has obtained as its share of the building vote for the year The requirements which this grant is intended to meet amount to £831. Owing to the fact that all the Board's buildings, with one exception, are of wood, and most of them of some years' standing, the demands on the Board for repairs are both constant and large, and are likely to become more so in the near future. The Board's income for the year on General Account alone, including a credit balance of £31 Is. 6d. at the commencement, has been £5,621 Os. Bd., and its expenditure £5,698 Bs. 7d. thus leaving a debit balance on this account of £77 7s. lid. The Board views the existence of this debt, small as it is, with regret, although aware that it has come about in spite of the most vigilant and habitual regard to the claims of economy The difficulty lies in the fact that the population of the district is so scattered, less than 1,700 school-children being dispersed over nearly two hundred miles of sea-coast, and hence the number of schools to be maintained is out of all proportion to the number of scholars on whom capitation is received, so that nearly all the schools have to be worked at a loss to the Board. How great is the disadvantage under which the Board labours in this respect will become manifest by comparing the ratio of schools to scholars in this and some other education district—say the neighbouring one of North Canterbury In the case of this latter district the average roll-number for each school will be found to be 130, whilst in that of Westland it is only fifty-two, so that, proportionately, more than twice as many schools have to be maintained in this district as in the one cited.

NOETH CANTEBBUBY Sir,— Christchurch, 31st March, 1892. 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, 1891. The Board.—The three members who retired at the end of March, 1891, were Mr. Anson, Mr. Euddenklau, and Mr Wright, of whom Mr. Euddenklau did not offer himself for re-election. At an election held on the 12th March Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Anson, and Mr Wright were elected. Mr Montgomery was one of the members originally elected in 1878, but retired in October 1887 At the same meeting Mr Weston was elected Chairman of the Board , Mr. Peryman, Mr. Wright, Mr Westenra, and Mr Joyce were elected members of the Buildings Committee, and Mr Anson, MiMeredith, Mr Saunders, and Mr. Montgomery members of the Appointments Committee. The Chairman is ex officio member of both these Committees. Later in the year, in the absence of

73

E.—l

several of the members during the session of the General Assembly, Mr Anson was added to the Buildingsand Mr Perymau to the Appointments Committee. The Board held twenty-one meetings during the year, including one adjourned and three special meetings. The Buildings Committee met seventeen times, and the Appointments Committee thirty-nine times. New Disteiots and Buildings.—A new district was constituted at Waitohi (near the Hurunui), and the necessary steps were taken for the formation of new districts at Ealing and Rokeby, also for the separation of Addington from Christchurch West, and its formation into an independent district. These changes took effect at the beginning of 1892. A site was acquired at Eiffelton— where the school has hitherto been conducted in a room belonging to the Eoad Board—and additions to the sites at New Brighton and Richmond. New schools were built at Alford Forest Side, Lower Greendale, Waltham, Winchmore, View Hill Plains and contracts let for schools at Eiffelton, Ealing, and Riverside. Additions were made to the schools at Fendalton, Oxford East, Southbridge, and Sumner, and considerable repairs and improvements to the schools at Christchurch East, Cust, Ferry Road, Flaxton, Glentunnel, Killinchy Leeston, Longbeach, Pigeon Bay, Russell's Flat, Sydenham, Taitapu. The total expenditure on buildings was £7,612 3s. 6d. A statement of the amount spent in each district is given in Table 7 * The Board desires to urge on the Minister the necessity of a large increase in the amount voted for school-buildings. The demands upon it, which have for several years past been much in excess of the funds available, are this year of more than ordinary magnitude. For besides the inevitable outlay required for the maintenance of existing buildings, and the expenditure on new schools and enlargements rendered necessary by the growing requirements of the country districts, the Board has now to deal with the urgent wants of the suburbs, in which the present school accommodation is altogether insufficient. It is quite evident that, without a very considerable addition to the means at the Board's disposal, most of these important works must remain undone, and that the pressing needs of a great number of our population must be left unprovided-for Maintenance of Schools.—The expenditure on teachers' salaries (including all allowances) amounted during the year 1891 to £53,091 Bs. 4d., and the grants to Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £6,989 6s. sd. making a total of £60,080 14s. 9d. The average attendance for the year was 17,514. The cost per head for teachers' salaries was therefore £3 os. 7-Jd., and the total cost of maintaining the schools, including all incidental expenses, was £3 Bs. 7-Jd. per head. The following table shows the expenditure on salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878 [not all reprinted] :— Year. Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. & s. a. £ s. a. £ s. a. 1878 31 919 0 0 .. 6 276 6 9 38,195 6 9 1888 50,749 14 6 6 400 7 5 57,150 6 3 1891 53,091 8 4 6 989 6 5 60 080 14 9 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 42 sewing-mistresses) was 553—viz., heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge, 141 males, 59 females assistants, 35 males, 122 females , pupil-teachers, 59 males, 137 females. Pupil-teachers.—The regulations relating to pupil-teachers were thoroughly revised during the year, the most important amendments being the introduction of provisions for making the first year of any engagement a term of probation, at the end of which, if the probationer does not show sufficient likelihood of success as a teacher, the engagement may be terminated , also for insuring that the pupil-teacher receives satisfactory training during his apprenticeship, and that a record of his work and progress is kept, to be reported on by the Inspectors when they visit the school for purposes of inspection or examination. Attendance.—The number of school districts at the end of 1891 was 151, and the number of separate schools, including the practising department of the Normal School, was 170. Four of these were aided schools —viz., at Conway Flat, Godley Head, Gough's Bay, and Porter's Pass. The schools were classified as follows Under 15 pupils, eleven, 15 and under 20 pupils, eleven 20 and under 25 pupils, fifteen 25 and under 50 pupils, fifty-three, 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-six, 75 and under 100 pupils, eighteen , 100 and under 150 pupils, ten , 150 and under 300 pupils, fifteen 300 and under 500 pupils, six , 500 pupils and upwards, five. The following table gives the total number of children on the rolls, the number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance at the close of each year since the Education Act came into operation [not all reprinted]:— Quarter ending District Aided Total r> tj n Average -p . 31st December, Schools.

The same causes account for the falling-off in the percentage of attendances. The decrease, however, is observable in the last quarter only For the whole year, the average attendance exceeded that of 1890 by 470, being 17,514 against 17,044. Inspection.—The Inspectors' annual report gives full information as to the numbers, classification, and general proficiency of the children examined. It is satisfactory to find that they report a substantial rate of progress. The numbers of passes and failures show a distinct improvement. It is especially noteworthy that, while the total number in average attendance throughout the

* See pp. 35-43, ante.

E.—l

74

district continually increases, there is a steady rise in the proportionate number of children in the upper standards. The percentage of infants on the school-rolls in 1891, as compared with that in 1890, has fallen from 32-81 to 31-29, but the proportion of children who passed in Standards IV.-VI. has risen from 14-11 to 16-97 The same advance is shown in class subjects, in which the average proportion of children on the class rolls in Standards IV VI. who succeeded in passing has risen from 64-13 to 71-73. On the 19th October Mr Wood received leave of absence for the rest of the year on account of ill-health. Mr Poster and Mr Scott, headmasters of Christchurch West and Christchurch East respectively, were appointed Acting-Inspectors. The Board is much indebted to these gentlemen for the zeal and efficiency with which they discharged the duties thus devolved upon them. Normal School.—The Normal School opened this year with forty students (fourteen males and twenty-six females) and the arrangements for their instruction in the practical work of teaching, and in the subjects required for the certificate examination, were conducted in the same manner as heretofore. At the Inspectors' annual examination the practising school acquitted itself on the whole with high credit. The only exception occurred in a part of the boys' department, which was reported upon in less favourable terms. After communication with the headmaster, the Board instituted an inquiry into the matter For the purposes of this report it is unnecessary to say more of the inquiry than that the Board considered the department to be under-staffed. Another assistant was therefore appointed, and it is hoped that the examination report for 1892 will be of a satisfactory character An additional teacher has also been appointed in the girls' and in the infants' department. Scholarships.—During last year an alteration was made in the scholarship regulations, by which the scholarships in Classes C and D were made tenable at any school approved by the Board, subject to inspection, not necessarily in the North Canterbury District. A committee was appointed to consider by what means a more equal distribution of the scholarships could be effected between the town and country schools. The committee had not completed its inquiries at the end of the year, and its recommendations, which have just been submitted to the Board, will properly form a subject for the report of 1892. The annual examination for scholarships for Classes A andß was held on the 17th and 18th December, and that for Classes C and D was held on the 21st, 22ud, 23rd, and 24th December, 1891 The number of candidates examined for Classes A and B was 105 —fifty-five (twenty-eight boys and twenty-seven girls) in Class A, and fifty (thirty-seven boys and thirteen girls) in Class B. In Classes C and D thirteen were examined—seven (four boys and three girls) in Class C, and six (five boys and one girl) in Class D Scholarships were awarded to [six boys and one girl] in Class A, [five boys] in Class B , [two boys] in Class C , [one boy and one girl] in Class D The scholarships current at the end of 1891 were held as shown in the following table [not reprinted] I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Thomas S. Weston, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTEBBUBY Sic,- Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1892. In accordance with the regulation laid down by "The Education Act, 1877," clause 102, the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1891: —

75

E.—l

Boaed.-—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members The Eev George Barclay J. P., the Eev Jasper Smyth, Mr Melville Gray J.P., Mr Eichard Alfred Barker, Mr John Talbot, J.P ,Mr John Jackson, J. P., Mr Eoberb Henry Pearpoint, J.P , and Mr Samuel William Goldsmith (chairman) On the 31st March Messrs. Gray, Talbot, and Pearpoint retired in terms of section 15 of the Act, and the following gentlemen were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies, viz. Messrs. John Talbot, Melville Gray, E. H. Pearpoint, G H. Rhodes, and William Balfour The voting resulted in the re-election of the three retiring members. In the month of February an extraordinary vacancy took place through the lamented death of Mr Eichard Alfred Barker, of Ohapi, in whose untimely decease the Board lost a very useful and conscientious member The Eev George Barclay also sent in his resignation in the same month, and the Board, in accepting it, put on record its high appreciation of that gentleman's services, and regret that a change of residence sundered his connection with the district of South Canterbury To replace these extraordinary vacancies the following gentlemen were nominated In place of Mr E. A. Barker, deceased, Messrs. Walter M. Moore, William Balfour, and William Storey, and in place of the Eev George Barclay resigned, Messrs. George H. Ehodes, Walter M. Moore, Henry Watts, and the Eev W J Williams. The voting resulted in the election of Mr William Storey, of Temuka, to serve in the stead of Mr. E. A. Barker and of Mr George Hampton Ehodes, in the stead of the Eev George Barclay Twelve regular meetings were held during the year, on the first Thursday in each month, except in January, when the Board assembled on the third Thursday, the hour of meeting throughout the year being at 11.15 a.m. The average attendance of members for the year was 717 The officers of the Board were the same as at the end of last year Numbee of Schools. —On the 31st December, 1891, there were fifty-nine schools in operation, being an increase during the year of three new districts, viz. Cannington, Te Moana, and Sandhurst (now called Hakateramea). Of these fifty-nine schools, the classification was as follows Under 25 pupils, seventeen , between 25 and under 50 pupils, twenty-six between 50 and under 100 pupils, nine between 100 and under 300 pupils, five between 300 and under 500 pupils, one , 500 pupils and upwards, one total, fifty-nine. Of these fifty-nine schools, none were half-time schools, nor were any schools closed during the year The number of aided schools was sixteen. Attendance. —From the accompanying return, it will be seen that there is still a steady increase in the roll-number of scholars attending the Board's schools, although, owing to prevailing sickness and wet weather the average for the December quarter was exceptionally low—lower even than for the corresponding quarter of the previous year The average roll-number for the year was 5,014, against 4,885 in the previous year [Table only partially reprinted.]

The balance-sheet, duly certified by the Auditor-General, is appended. The Building Account for the year shows a credit balance of £474 18s. 7d. to undertake all the necessary operations of buildings and repairs for the ensuing year, the estimated cost of which is upwards of £1,200, and which expenditure will have to be defrayed from the Maintenance Account, which at the end of the year was in credit £956 10s. sd. The Board gave a bonus this year, which involved the expenditure of £500. Buildings.—During the year the Board has built a new school at Te Moana on a new site conveyed to the Board, and furnished and contributed to the repairs of buildings furnished by the School Committees at Sandhurst and Cannington, both of which schools are bracketed in Eeturn No. 1. The following schools have been enlarged- Kingsdown, Bangatira Valley, Upper Waitohi, and Adair The Timaru Main School has been altered by the enlargement of one class-room, taking from the size of the adjoining apartment, and making two convenient instead of one very large and one very small room. The ceiling of the infants' room at the Timaru Main School has also been replastered, and the doorways concreted, and the spouting, drains, and lavatories repaired. The fencing at Waimataitai has been repaired, and the chimneys altered. New closets have been granted to Hilton and Kakahu Bush (with shelter-shed) The Hunters, Gapes Valley, South Eangitata, Kakahu Bush, Timaru (school and residence), Waimataitai, Albury, and Fairview Schools have been repaired and repainted. The Waimate School has been repainted, and the janitor's house repaired and repainted. Minor grants have been made for a wash-house at

Hilton, repairs at Woodbury, spouting at St. Andrews, repairs and enlargement to dwellinghouse at Belfield and Upper Waitohi, the grading of the infants-room floor at Temuka, repair of fences at Milford, roof and well at Pleasant Point, stove at Eangatira Valley, curtain Waimataitai, papering and painting master's house at Hazelburn, repairs to Totara Valley, Claremont, Geraldine (fences), water-supply to Washdyke, reflooring verandah at Pleasant Valley, new closet accommodation at Wai-iti, repairs to chimney at Seadown, and a number of other small grants. New furniture has been supplied to Sandhurst (now Hakateramea), Cannington, Te Moana, and extra furniture to all the enlarged schools. Surveys have been made of Te Moana, Cannington, and of an alternative site at Eodcliff, and new maps, charts, and school material supplied to a large number of schools. The Board ventured to approach the Government with a protest against the smallness of the last building grant, representing how urgent it was that some special consideration should be made to put a number of schools in a thorough state of repair, which are gradually approaching a state of collapse from sheer inability on the Bonrd's part to do more than patch up the very worst cases. Last year a return was forwarded at the request of Government showing what works were required, and the several states of urgency thereof respectively, divided under three heads and the Board then had hopes that Government did see its way to meet the district requirements. The building grant of this year dispelled that idea. Scholarships.—The annual examination of scholarships took place in January, and on the report of the examiners the following new scholarships were granted [Three at £34, one at £14, two at £4], all tenable for two years. District High Schools.—Fifteen scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and twelve at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, French, Latin, Euclid, and algebra (with the exception of French at Waimate) The Waimate High School Board has this year also contributed the sum of £75 towards the cost of maintaining an extra teacher for secondary work at that school. Pupil-teachees.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in July, when thirtyseven pupil-teachers and nine candidates for employment presented themselves. Of the thirtyseven pupil-teachers, four failed—two in the fourth, and two in the third year Six of the nine candidates passed, three failed. The following table shows the classification and results of pupilteachers Fourth year —5 presented, 3 passed, 2 failed, third year—l 4 presented, 12 passed, 2 failed, second year—9 presented, 9 passed, first year—9 presented, 9 passed totals—37 presented, 33 passed, 4 failed.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sic,— Education Office, Timaru, Bth February, 1892. I have the honour to submit the following report on the special work of the Waimate'and Temuka District High Schools Fifteen scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and twelve at Temuka. The following tables show the subjects taught, the number of pupils examined, the marks gained by each class, and the amount of work done in each subject:—

77

E.—l

Waimatb. English. —Most of the pupils showed considerable skill in rendering faulty passages of prose into correct English, and all wrote intelligent answers to questions on the matter contained in Chambers's " Outline of the English Language and Literature." " The Merchant of Venice " had been very carefully studied the characters introduced, and their parts in the action of the play, were well known, and many of the finest passages had been committed to memory Latin. —One paper in the highest class and four nl the lowest were very good. With one exception, the other papers were good. Euclid. —All the papers showed that the pupils had obtained a thorough grasp of their subject, and that they had been taught to set down their work in a clear and methodical way Algebra. —With one exception, the papers in algebra were of outstanding merit. Full marks were gained by five pupils, and six of the others gained from 75 to 95 per cent., the average of the three classes being 88 per cent. Temuka. English. —Four of the papers were good, four very fair, and one moderate. Latin. —The marks for Latin ranged from 64 to 89 per cent. Questions in grammar were in almost all eases accurately answered, and it was evident that great pains had been taken in training the pupils to render English sentences into Latin. The translation of passages from Virgil and CiEsar was very well done. French. —Three of the papers were very good, one fair and one poor Euclid. —Three papers out of eleven in this subject were very good, one by the only pupil who took the Third Course, and two by pupils of the class which took the Second Course. The rest of the papers were disappointing, their values ranging from 41 down to 5 per cent. Algebra. —The only paper in the Third Course was an excellent one, in the Second Course one paper was excellent and two very good and one very good paper came from a boy in the lowest class. The remaining six papers were not very creditable. I have, &c, Jas. Gibson Gow, M.A., Inspector The Chairman, South Canterbury Education Board.

cies caused by their retirement, and the voting, in February, resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Fraer and Macgregor, and the election of Mr Donald Borrie in the room of Mr Jago. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Mr Macgregor was re-elected chairman. The Board held twentyfive meetings during the year The Hon. Thomas Dick and Mr Henry Clark represented the Board on the Otago High Schools Board of Governors, and Mr Neil Fleming was re-elected as the Board s representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr James Gresn continues to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Eeserves. NuMßKit op Schools.—The last report of the Board showed that on the 31st December, 1890, there wsre 193 schools in operation. During the year now schools were opened at Henley Moa Creek, and Waipiata the number of schools, therefore, in operation at the end of the year was 196. A new school was sanctioned at Hukinga, and the necessary buildings were in course of erection when the year closed. During the year ten applications were received for the establishment of new schools. Three of these were granted, three are still under consideration, and the remaining four were declined, chiefly owing to the want of funds to erect the necessary buildings. Great care is exercised in dealing with these applications, but it is difficult to avoid, on the one hand, cases of hardship to settlers, and, on the other the multiplication of extremely small schools. The circumstances of different localities vary so much that it is not possible to apply in all cases a fixed rule as to the minimum number of children which must be in attendance. Each application is dealt with on its merits, and wherever it has been possible to do so the Board has assisted in placing the means ef education within the reach of the children of the settlers in the remote and sparsely-settled districts. The small sum allocated to this district for building purposes prevents the Board from doing all it is desirous of doing in the direction of extending our public-school system. The following shows the classification of the schools according to the average attendance Under 15 pupils, ten 15 and under 20 pupils, nineteen 20 and under 25 pupils, nineteen 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty-eight 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-eight 75 and under 100 pupils, thirteen 100 and under 150 pupils, ten 150 and under 300 pupils, eleven 300 and under 500 pupils, nine 500 pupils and upwards, nine. Teachers. —There were 514 teachers in the Board's service on the 31st December classed as under Male head teachers, 81 male teachers in sole charge, 64 male assistant teachers, 53 , male pupil-teachers, 44 , female teachers in sole charge, 51 , female mistresses, 81 female assistants, 53 female pupil-teachers, 75 female sewing-teachers, 12. This shows a decrease of seventeen teachers. This decrease in the number of teachers is not due so much to reductions in the staffs consequent on the falling-off in the attendance as to the fact that several of the head teachers of the larger schools have during the year availed themselves of the regulation of the Board which provides that a female assistant may be appointed in place of two pupil-teachers. In eleven of the larger schools female assistants have been appointed to the staffs under this regulation. Early in the year the Board decided to dispense with the services of all the teachers in its employment who did not hold certificates of competency This step was rendered advisable from the fact that the number of trained and certificated teachers passing through the Normal School is now in excess of the number required. The Board has the satisfaction of reporting that at the present time there is only one teacher in its service who has not fully passed the prescribed examination for a certificate of competency. Pupil-teachebs.—At the close of the year there' were 119 pupil-teachers in the service of the Board. The annual examinations were held, as formerly at the end of December The following statement shows the number that went up for examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed First class—23 presented, 21 passed, 2 failed, 3 absent second class—34 presented, 32 passed, 2 failed third class —35 presented, 33 passed, 2 failed fourth class—23 presented, 21 passed, 2 failed, 1 absent. Three pupil-teachers failed twice to pass the examination for promotion to a higher class, and their services were consequently dispensed with. The supply of candidates, both male and female, is now considerably in excess of the number required. Deawing Department.—The report of the headmaster of the drawing department is appended. The classes were attended during the year by 428 students—viz. 94 teachers and pupilteachers, 65 students in training, 95 pupils in the afternoon classes, and 174 artisans and other pupils in the evening. The expenditure on this department for the year was Salaries, £545 , incidental expenses, £80 6s. 2d. amount received from fees, &c, £412 Is. net cost, £213 ss. 2d. 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 m the year 1856 to the present time. At the beginning of 1878 the new Education District of Southland was created and thirty-seven schools were handed over to the newly-formed Board. [Table not all reprinted.]

the number that attended at all was almost the same. The number in attendance at these schools at the end of the year was less by 104. The falling-off in the attendance was almost wholly due to the prevalence of influenza, in fact, so serious was the outbreak of the disease that many of the schools had to be closed for a time. As showing how seriously the disease had affected the schools towards the close of the year, it may be stated that the average attendance for the December quarter was 1,054 less than the average for the corresponding quarter of 1890. Notwithstanding such a serious falling-off in the attendance, and the consequent loss of income to the Board, it was found inadvisable to reduce the staff in any of the schools, as the attendance was expected to recover much more quickly than, has since proved to be the case. The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools in the district is shown in the following statement Maoris, 15 males, 12 females half-castes living as members of a Native tribe, 10 males, 6 females, half-castes living among Europeans, 29 males, 25 females. Number of schools in which there were Maori or half-caste scholars, 12. Training College.—The report of the rector of the Training College is appended.

Scholarships.—Twenty scholarships—ten junior and ten senior—were offered for competition at the end of the year There were seventy competitors for the junior scholarships, and. forty-two for the senior scholarships. As most of the scholarships gained were found to be on the lower scale of payment (£2O per annum), the Board awarded two extra junior and two extra senior scholarships, in all twenty-four scholarships—twelve junior and twelve senior Several of the holders of the Board's scholarships have as usual succeeded in gaming junior scholarships in connection with the New Zealand University The continued success of scholarship-holders at these examinations affords evidence of the suitableness of the Boards examination tests, and of the benefits derived by the more talented youths of the district from the scholarship scheme. The Board of Governors of the Dunediu Boys' and Girls' High Schools continue to grant the privilege of free education to competitors for senior scholarships who, though failing to gain scholarships, yet make at least 50 percent, of attainable marks. The amount expended on scholarships was—Paid to holders, £1,120 9s. 6d. , expenses of examination, £26 7s. 9d. total, £1,146 17s. 3d. Inspection.—The examination results are very slightly lower than for the last two years. This does not necessarily imply any decrease of efficiency, and the Inspectors do not interpret it in this sense. The number of schools having a percentage of failures of five or less was just half what it was last year The effects of the frequent changes of teachers are referred to in an important paragraph of the Inspector's report. All the schools that were open throughout the year were examined, and nearly all were inspected. The following is an abstract of the work done by the Inspectors during the year : —

Standards. —The number of pupils presented for examination in the standards was 14,242. Of these, 13,892 were present, and 11,241 passed. The number of absentees was 350, or 25 per cent, of those presented. Of the 13,892 who were examined, 481, or 3-5 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 81, as against 82 last year and 84 in 1889. The percentage of failures was 154. The average percentage of marks for class subjects was 54, and the average of additional marks 69. Efficiency.—Of the 125 schools examined— 11 (= 6 per cent.) had a percentage of failures ranging from oto 5 29 ( = 15 per cent.) „ „ „ 6 to 10 66 ( = 34 per cent.) „ „ „ 11 to 20 47 ( = 24 per cent.) „ „ „ 21 to 30 25 (= 13 per cent.) „ „ „ .. 31 to 40 10 ( = 5 per cent.) „ „ „ 41 to 50 7 ( = 3 per cent.) „ „ „ 51 to 78

Sir,— Eepoet of the Act Mastee. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the School of Art for the year 1891. The progress made during the year was satisfactory The number of students who attended during the year was 428, or thirty-five more than the number enrolled in the preceding year This total includes ninety-four teachers and pupil-teachers, sixty-five students in training, ninety-five students who attended the day classes, and 174 students who attended the evening classes. At the commencement of the session classes were formed from amongst the advanced students for the purpose of studying the living model draped, and for landscape-painting from nature. The model was posed every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9.30 to 11, and on Fridays excursions were made to various localities for landscape painting direct from nature. These classes were well appreciated, and tended to increase enthusiasm amongst the students. During the session nine mining engineers from the Otago University were in attendance, four of whom completed their term, and received certificates. The pupil-teachers of the city and suburban schools were regular in their attendance. A few who could not attend the regular classes received instruction on Saturdays. The following are the results of the pupil-teachers' second-grade examination in drawing The total number examined was 117, of whom 108 were successful. Twenty-four passed in freehand drawing, thirty-one in model drawing, thirty-three in practical plane and solid geometry, and twenty in perspective. As most of the teachers in training had passed in freehand and model drawing, practical geometry, and perspective, the instruction during the year was mainly directed to mastering drawing on a large scale on the blackboard from copies and from objects, to solid geometry, and to drawing in light and shade from the round. Forty-one students, having passed satisfactory examinations in all the subjects, received certificates of competency to give instruction in drawing. The evening classes were open as usual, and were better attended than those of the previous year. Seventy students attended the classes for practical plane and solid geometery, mechanical and architectural drawing, ninety-eight those for freehand and model drawing, drawing from the antique, and painting, and five those for modelling in clay The work done by the students was far above the average in excellence. Among the students in attendance were some of very good promise, and some whose studies during their attendance showed considerable advance. The studies for a screen by Miss M. A. Cook; the studies from life by Misses Wain and Siedeberg, Mrs. Eichardson, and Master Kilgour, the still-life studies by Misses Wain, Chisholm, Hardy, and Siedeberg, and Master Kilgour , and the drawings from the antique by Mr S. O'Keefe, all evidenced artistic ability of no mean order The Boys' High School was attended during the year The progress made was satisfactory The model drawing by the boys in the Upper Third Form and the drawings and light and shade by the boys in the Fourth Form, were excellent. My assistants have performed their duties most satisfactorily during the year At the close of the session an exhibition of upwards of four hundred drawings and paintings done by the students during the year was open to the public for five days. The exhibition was well attended, and was highly spoken of by the Press. A few of the older students have lately formed a schpol of art club, for the purpose of bringing together the students and ex-students of the School of Art,' to criticize work done at home, to work from the model, to hear papers read or lectures delivered on art and kindred subjects, and to arrange for an annual exhibition of the work done by members of the club. The club meets once a fortnight, with an average attendance of twenty members. These meetings cannot fail to have a beneficial effect on those who attend them. The advanced students help, by contact and counsel, their less advanced companions. The first exhibition, consisting of upwards of two hundred drawings and paintings, was a great success, and was opened by G. Bell, Esq., who takes a deep and lively interest in all that pertains to the advancement and prosperity of our young people. I have, &c. The Secretary, Otago Education Board. David C. Hutton, Art Master

g IE- Bepoet of the Bectoe of the Teaining College. I have the honour to submit my report on the Training College for the year 1891. The following was the attendance First-year students—2o males, 21 females, second-year students —10 males, 26 females third-year students—2 males, 1 female fourth-year students—--2 males, 1 female total, 34 males, 49 females. No change was made in the teaching staff during the year The following are the results of the examinations affecting teachers' certificates One student, passing the New Zealand University honours examination, secured his M.A. degree, and qualified for the A certificate, and another secured her M.A., four studerats, passing the B.A. examination, qualified for the B certificate , twenty-nine students passed the matriculation examination.

examination were students of the Training College in technical subjects. Thirty-four students.passed the examination for D certificate , and sixteen secured a partial pass for D, fourteen of them passing in all the subjects except one. Fifteen students passed the examination for E certificate, and two secured a partial pass. Prizes are given by the Education Department to the candidates who obtain the highest marks in experimental science, class D and drawing, classes D and E. The first and second prizes in experimental science were awarded to students of the College. For the third prize, one of the College students and a candidate belonging to Hawke's Bay were declared equal. Twenty-one students received " special mention by examiners for excellence in the D and E examinations. The holders of Training College exhibitions at Otago University have, with one exception, fulfilled the conditions on which they hold the exhibitions. In the conduct of the classes we endeavour as far as possible, to develop a student habit of mind in our young teachers and though many of them lay aside their professional studies-on obtaining appointment to schools, this questionable custom is far from being so prevalent as it was. Every list of successful D candidates contains the names of past students the University calendar shows that a large number of our teachers, both in town and country, are keeping terms , and it is worthy of note that thirteen of the nineteen students who received their diplomas in Arts last year are either past or present students of the Training College, and are actively engaged in the work of education, or are still preparing for that work. It is unquestionable that the teachers should have a mind well informed, well disciplined, and habitually active and one function of the Training College for teachers is to secure in them this condition as far as possible. But the College is above all a technical school, dealing with the history and theories of education and the heart of teaching, and the examination pass, important though it be, must be subordinated to the practical part of the teacher's preparation for duty This has been amply provided for by model and criticism lessons, and by practice in teaching in the associated schools. In the ten schools associated with the Training College for practice in teaching, there is a staff of sixty-two certificated teachers, and an average attendance of about five thousand scholars. The students spend every fifth week in these schools at work under the direction and supervision of the teachers, and especially of the headmasters, and during these weeks the schools are visited by the members of the College staff. The College is much indebted to the headmasters of these schools, and to their assistants, for the cordial reception they give the students, for the opportunities they afford for practice, and for the kindly and wise counsel they bestow The written reports furnished by the headmasters after each visit are particularly valuable to the students, and are highly appreciated by them. Experience of the work has suggested to the headmasters and myself some slight amendments in the regulations for practice in teaching, and I shall lay them before the Board at an early date. The want of practice in a small country school is much felt by our young teachers. The w 7 ork of a small school with teacher unassisted, and possibly with most of the standard classes, as well as two preparatory classes, must be specially difficult and trying, and it is to these schools that most of our students who have not the pupilteacher experience are appointed. To supply this felt need, I have on several occasions availed myself of the kindness of Mr Huie, of Broad Bay School, and sent students to study his management. The distance from town, and the expense of lodging at Broad Bay have prevented me sending more than I have sent but lam persuaded that, were such a school associated with the College, a few pounds spent on travelling and board would be money well invested, and the experience gained would be of great comfort to our young teachers, and benefit to their first schools. The need for the thorough practical training of teachers of all grades is pressing more and more on the educational world: One of the latest authoritative utterances on this question may not be out of place here. It is an extract from the special report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the Teachers' Registration and Organizations Bills before the House last year The report was made after the evidence of the most eminent English and Scotch educationists, theoretical and practical, had been taken and discussed " With respect to the qualifications which should be shown on any register of teachers, strong evidence was adduced that they should be twofold—namely intellectual attainments, and knowledge of the theory and practice of teaching. As regards teaching experience, some of the witnesses most highly qualified to give evidence in respect to its requirement, laid great stress on the value of training. And the evidence given certainly testified that a large part of the efficiency of our elementary teachers is due to the training which they receive—first as pupilteachers, and afterwards as students in training colleges. But the advocates of training for registered teachers in secondary schools are met by the difficulty that, with the exception of one or two institutions for female students, very few facilities exist at present in the United Kingdom for that training. It appears probable, however, that this deficiency will not long exist, and that the demand created by a thorough ventilation of this question will be gradually supplied by local effort. There is good reason to believe that one of the earliest effects of the operation of The Welsh Intermediate Education Act, 1889, and the establishment of day training colleges in connection with the University Colleges now found in many large centres of population, will be to produce local training institutions, to which well-equipped practising schools may be attached, and in which the teachers who are to be employed in secondary schools may be efficiently trained." I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. W S. Fitzgerald, Eector

Before referring to the work done at the Palmerston District High School we would draw attention to the fact that the majority of the pupils come by train, and do not reach the school till a comparatively late hour in the morning. English. —The class read the whole of "Julius Cassar " The matter and language of the play were well known, and the substance of a short scene was very fairly rendered in the form of an essay Difficult words and passages were explained in a very satisfactory manner Latin. —ln Class I. the translation of Latin into English was, on the whole, well done syntax and parsing were moderately answered the inflections of nouns and verbs were fairly known , and Latin composition was of moderate quality In Class 11. the translation gave the meaning of the Latin clearly and correctly , parsing, syntax, and accidence were done with very fair accuracy, and the composition was satisfactory In Class 111. there were one or two good papers, but the answering was, on the whole, decidedly inferior to that of the higher classes. French. —ln Class I. the translation and grammar were both good. In Class 11. the papers of two pupils were of good and those of the other pupil of fair quality Geometry. —Class I. One pupil gained 70 and the other 60 per cent, of the marks. Class 11. One pupil gained 75, one 60, and the other 40 per cent, of the marks. Class 111. All the papers except two were of high merit. In Class IV the work was fairly done by two pupils, and very well done by the others. Algebra. —Class I. answered very poorly , Classes 11. and IV fairly , and Class 111. very well. Arithmetic and Mensuration. —Two pupils gained full marks, one over 90 per cent, of the marks, and most of the other pupils presented fair papers.

English. —The higher class showed a very satisfactory knowledge of the brief extracts from " Julius Cassar " The principles and examples in Abbott's little book had been very thoroughly worked up. An essay on a short scene from the "Julius Ctesar" was fairly done by all, and well by a few The pupils of Class 11. have been studying this subject for only a short time, and the work is still rather beyond their powers. Latin. — In Class I. the translation was, on the whole, well done, and the pupils showed a good knowledge of accidence and elementary syntax. English into Latin was well done by one, and moderately by the others. Such a class as this should gain a thorough knowledge of a more advanced Latin Grammar Class 11. translated the Latin set very well, and answered accurately in accidence and fairly in easy case syntax. English into Latin was moderately done. French. —Classes I. and 11. The work set was fairly done by two pupils, and very well by the others. In Class 111. the girls did well, and the boys fairly. Geometry. —Three pupils gained full marks, two 75 per cent., two 50 per cent., and one less than 50 per cent, of the marks. The proofs were very clearly set out, and the figures well drawn. Algebra. —ln Class I. about half the class gained half marks the rest did not do so well. In Class 11. there were seven very good papers, and most of the others were fair

Tokomairiro District High School.

English. —The class showed a good knowledge of the little text-book of English composition read. The extracts from " Julias Caesar " were short. The text was tastefully read by a few, not so well by the rest. The language and matter of the extracts were well known, and an essay giving the substance of a scene of some length was well done by most, and fairly by all. A small amount of prose has also been read by the class. Latin. —In Class I. the Latin was fairly translated into English, the English into Latin was of moderate quality. Accidence was fairly answered, but the verbs were not so readily and accurately known as the rest of the subject. Syntax was also fairly known. In such a class as this a more advanced grammar than that contained in the Principia Latina, Part 1., should bemused and thoroughly mastered. Where such authors as Caesar and Livy are read it would be well to use a suitable book of exercises in composition. In Class 11. the translation expressed the general sense of the Latin, but the moods, tenses, and voices of the text were not sufficiently noticed. Such a class as this might well be trained to revise their translation of a passage of Latin to insure that it is expressed in clear and grammatical English. Accidence and syntax were very satisfactorily known , and the Latin composition was moderate. In Class 111. small errors in the rendering of voices, moods, and tenses were as common as in Class 11. The general sense of the text was, however, very fairly given. The accidence was fairly known, especially by the girls. The use of cases in the text was fairly explained, but there was much blundering in the most elementary matters in translating a few easy sentences into Latin. Class IV answered satisfactorily in this subject. Geometry. —ln Class I. two of the papers were very good two were good and the rest of moderate merit. Class 11. Six pupils did very fairly and the rest more or less poorly Algebra. —Class I. There were three good papers and one fair one. Class 11. answered fairly, and Class 111. gave in three good papers, five fair ones, and one decidedly poor Agricultural Chemistry. —The course of practical work in this subject was well known by all. Mr Eeid teaches this subject with great heartiness and success.

English. —The incidents of the play and the matter and language of the speeches were on the whole well known. A difficult passage was fairly paraphrased by half the class, and moderately by the rest. Latin. —Class I. answered well in every part of the work. The English into Latin was particularly good. In Class 11. the translation was accurate and well expressed. Grammar was satisfactorily known ,in this the boys were more proficient than the girls. The Latin composition was good. Class 111. had a good knowledge of what had been read. French. —The translation was accurate, but for the most part too literal, and the grammar was excellent. Geometry. —ln all the classes most of the papers were of excellent quality Algebra. —ln Class I. seven pupils gained full marks, the two others gave in good papers. In Class 11. three gained full marks, three gave in good papers, and the rest answered very fairly Class 111. also answered well. Trigonometry. —All the papers were of fair merit. In some of the district high schools the predominance of mathematics, to which we drew attention a year or two ago, is still maintained. It seems unreasonable that so much attention should be given to this branch of study while in Latin there is not time to study and work up a fairly complete elementary Latin grammar Pupils who read Caesar, Livy, and Virgil should certainly be thoroughly familiar with the accidence and syntax of such a text-book as Dr Smith's " Smaller Latin Grammar The English, Latin, and algebra papers were examined by Mr Petrie. A good deal of the English and Latin was done orally Mr Goyen examined the French, geometry, and trigonometry papers. We have, &c, D. Petkie, P. Goyen, The Secretary, Otago Education Board.

SOUTHLAND Sib, — Education Office, Invercargill, 25th March, 1892. In compliance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year 1891:— The Boaed.—During the year the constitution of the Board underwent but little change. To fill the ordinary vacancies four gentlemen were duly nominated, and the result of the election held in March, as required by the Act, was the return of Messrs. Lumsden and Matheson (re-elected), and Mr Bobert McNab, the last-named taking the place of the late Mr John Morison, who for many years displayed an earnest and intelligent interest in the deliberations of this Board, and by whose death its members lost an esteemed friend and co-worker At the ordinary meeting held on the 3rd April Mr George MoLeod was elected Chairman of the Board for the then current year. During the year the Board held twelve regular and two special meetings, and its Executive Committee (which consists of all the members of the Board for the time being) met twenty-six times. The attendance of members was very satisfactory indeed, the average for Board meetings being eight, and for meetings of the Executive Committee seven. The following figures represent the attendances made by each member The Board —Mr McLeod (Chairman), 14, Mr Baldey, 14,

The Executive Committee—Mr Froggatt, 26 ,Mr Lumsden, 25 ; Mr McLeod, 25, Mr Matheson, 22, Mr Baldey 21, Dr Hodgkinson, 19, Mr McNab, 19, Mr Bain, 14 and Mr. Mackintosh, 12. It is but fair to note that the attendances made by Messrs. Mackintosh and McNab represent only nine months in each case, the former being absent on leave during the last session of Parliament, and the latter only taking his seat for the first time in the beginning of April. Several meetings of special committees were also held during the year, and were well attended. Messrs. D L. Matheson (re-elected) and James W Bain were appointed as the Board s representatives on the Board of Governors of the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools for the year Schools and Attendance. —The last report of the Board showed that at the close of the year 1890 there were in existence 111 schools. This number was increased during the year 1891 by the opening of new schools in the districts of Tisbury Seaward Downs, Skipper's Beefs, and the reopening of the school at South Wyndham, which had been closed during the preceding year There were consequently 115 schools in operation at the close of the year to which this report refers. Included in the above are eight half-time schools and ten subsidised schools, whose average attendance in each case does not reach twenty These half-time and aided schools are scattered over the remotest and most inaccessible parts of our educational district, and were it not for such provision the settlers there would be deprived of all the benefits of our education system. In many instances residents in these sparsely-populated districts exhibit a praiseworthy willingness to assist the Board in its efforts to confer on them at least a modicum of the advantages of our educational expenditure, by providing temporary accommodation suitable for school purposes, or by contributing in cash or labour towards the erection of the necessary school-buildings. Hence, in seven school districts the buildings utilised for school-buildings do not belong to the Board. Departmental Beturn No. 3 gives the classification of schools according to attendance as on 31st December last. Beferring now to the matter of attendance, the Board has to report that the roll-number and average attendance has increased considerably during the year At the end of 1890 the number of pupils on the various school-rolls was 8,332, and the average attendance 6,749 , while at the close of 1891 these numbers had increased to 8,587 and 7,041 respectively The average for the whole of the year 1890 was 6,587, and for 1891 6,810, being an increase of 223. The ratio of average attendance to the weekly roll-number for the year was 78-7 The average attendance would probably have been still better but for the very general prevalence of the influenza epidemic, which visited with greater or less severity many of our school districts. As a consequence of this, not a few schools were closed altogether for longer or shorter periods. Had the past system of double computation by " strict " and working " average still been in operation the closing of these schools would not have been necessary It is neither just nor reasonable to expect that teachers and Committees will so act as to reduce to a minimum their respective incomes, computed as they are on average attendance, when by the simple expedient of closing the school for a few days or weeks, as the necessities of the case may require, the normal average at the school can be maintained. To close a school when, say one-half of the pupils could easily be in attendance is a manifest injustice which, under existing conditions, it is the interest neither of the Board nor the Committee to prevent. It is of interest to notice here that the number of children attending the public schools in this district since the constitution of the Board in 1878 has risen from 2,897 to 8,587, and the strict average attendance from 2,267 to 7,041, an increase in average of 210 per cent. The increase of pupils noted in the preceding paragraph is due solely to the progress of settlement throughout the district, and has been steadily maintained during the period of the Board's existence. Present appearances decidedly indicate that the future will disclose an even more rapid rate of progress. Almost equally satisfactory has been the rate of increase in the number of schools, there being in operation at the beginning of the year 1878 forty-four, and at the close of 1891 one hundred and fifteen schools. The following tabular statement is instructive as showing the regular increase in the numbers of schools and pupils during the past seven years:—

From these figures it will be seen that an average of five (nearly) new schools have been opened, and 353 pupils added to the average attendance, in each year during that period. Towards the end of the year Mr Donald Boyd was appointed drill instructor and truant officer to the Board. This step was resolved on in the joint interests of schools where the attendance was irregular and of children whose parents or guardians were negligent of their educational welfare. This officer entered on his duties in October and as yet sufficient time has not elapsed to enable a reliable estimate to be formed as to the practical results of this new departure. Board's Teaching Staff.—ln the service of the Board there were at the close of the year 196 teachers of all grades, an increase of six on the previous year These were classified according to the positions occupied, as follows : —

Year. Schools open, December Quarter. Increase over Previous Strict Average Attendance. Schools. Average. .885 .886 .887 .888 .889 .890 891 85 92 97 103 106 111 115 5,002 5,340 5,697 6,083 6 502 6,587 6,810 4 7 5 6 3 5 4 666 338 357 386 419 85 223 34 2,474

This staff would give one teacher to every thirty-five pupils in average attendance during the year. As, however there have been twenty-two schools in operation in which the average was less than twenty-five—in ten, at least, very much less —and as there were forty-eight pupil-teachers in the service, the above statement with respect to the number of pupils under the care of each member of the staff must be considerably modified to indicate accurately the average work of the fullyqualified teacher The position of sewing-mistress as a separate office has been abolished in this district, and in all schools not entitled to the services of a fully competent mistress the duties appertaining thereto have been relegated to female pupil-teachers, who receive a small annual allowance in return for a satisfactory performance of this work. As noted in last year's report the proportion of uncertificated applicants for employment under the Board is decreasing. It is now the exception to appoint teachers to any but the very smallest schools who do not possess a departmental certificate of efficiency; indeed, it is open to question, in view of the large number of persons who annually qualify themselves for the work by passing the prescribed literary examination, whether the supply is not even now in excess of the actual demand. Another noteworthy fact in this district, at least, is the annually-increasing proportion of females to males engaged in the, work of teaching. In the year 1886 there were in this district 97 male and 64 female teachers of all classes. In 1888 these figures had increased to 102 and 73 respectively For the past three years, however, the number of male teachers in the service has not increased, while the females now number 94. These figures would seem to indicate that during recent years the increasing requirements of this district for additional teachers are met by filling the vacancies with females. This doubtless arises from the fact that, as a rule, the female candidates, for the less important vacancies at least, are invariably better qualified by nature, experience, and literary attainments for the positions they seek. The Board has no reason to fear that an undue preponderance of female teaching-power will prove detrimental to the cause of education generally. It is a fact, on which this district may congratulate itself, that many of our smaller schools under the charge of female ex-pupil-teachers are excellently managed. PuriL-TBACHBBS.—The pupil-teacher system adopted by this Board works smoothly and well. For vacancies which occur from time to time there is no lack of candidates indeed, the supply of female applicants for such employment is somewhat in excess of the Board's requirements. All appointments are made on the recommendation of the School Committee, approved by the head teacher of the school where the vacancy occurs. The latter being responsible not only for the work performed by the pupil-teachers, but also for their progress in study, it seems to the Board but reasonable that they should have some voice in the appointment, so far, at least, as the fitness of the appointee is concerned. It will thus be seen that the Board, endowed with sole power by the Act in this matter, deems it expedient to share with Committees and teachers the responsibility of making such appointments, and it is obvious that the chances of friction are thereby minimised. As a matter of fact, no case of serious diversity of opinion has occurred for many years, and in only one or two instances has it been necessary to determine the engagements of pupil-teachers before the expiration of their apprenticeship because of failure to pass the necessary examinations or of natural ineptitude for the work. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June, as provided for in the Board's regulations, at which forty-one candidates presented themselves, two being granted exemption from attendance on account of ill-health. The following figures indicate the result of the work done Class I.—lo presented, 9 passed, 1 failed Class ll.—B presented, 7 passed , 1 failed Class III.—II presented, 11 passed Class 1V.—12 presented, 10 passed, 2 failed total—4l presented, 37 passed, 4 failed. The Board has reason to feel satisfied with the work performed by its pupil-teacher staff as a whole. The ranks of the adult staff are now to a large extent recruited, as, indeed, they ought to be, from those who have completed their apprenticeship in the subordinate position, and have acquired by experience and examination the necessary certificate of competency Scholarships.—The annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held simultaneously with that for pupil-teachers. For the five scholarships annually open for competition to all scholars (whether attending public schools or otherwise) in the Southland Education District there were this year thirty-one competitors. Acting on the report of its Inspectors, the Board awarded two scholarships of the value of £20 each, and tenable for throe years —one to George Black (Middle School) and the other to Eobert Brownlie (South School) Invercargill and three scholarships of the value of £35 each, also tenable for three years, to John Taylor (Waikaia), Agnes Baird (Winton) and George Hamilton (Longbush) The first-mentioned declined to take advantage of benefits accruing from the distinction won by him, the Board therefore awarded the scholarship to John Fraser, the candidate next highest on the list. In addition to the foregoing, and in terms of No. 3 of its regulations, the Board was able to devote its surplus funds in awarding scholarships of the value of £20 each, but tenable for one year only to the four competitors next in order of merit. The names of scholarship-holders on the books of the Board now number seventeen, and to these a sum of £465 was paid during the year School Committees. —The relations existing between the Board and the School Committees under its control have been generally of the most harmonious description. The latter have ever shown a disposition to co-operate with the Board in whatever tends to the educational well-being of the community. No serious differences of opinion as to the relative duties and responsibilities of

the Board and its Committees has arisen during the year The Board, while not able to satisfy every claim, has striven to act justly and impartially with its numerous constituents, and in return may fairly claim that its administration has been attended with a very fair measure of success. The Committees' annual statements of receipts and expenditure, duly audited as required by Order in Council, were rendered with commendable promptitude, and when we consider that the duties of Clerk and Treasurer to these bodies are in nearly every instance entirely honorary, it speaks well for the care and attention bestowed by these officers in the performance of a too often thankless task that but few instances of neglect calling for the Board's intervention have arisen for many years. Sites and Glebes.—The Board has to acknowledge with gratitude its obligation to the School Commissioners of Otago and Southland, and the Southland Waste Lands Board, for their courteous and considerate attention to the Board's interests in the matter of the reservation of school-sites and glebes of suitable area where such have been required. In a few instances the acquisition of sites or additions to sites by purchase has been absolutely necessary and only then is the benefit of such concessions as are referred to in the preceding paragraph fully realised and appreciated. To provide for the purchase of all or even a moiety of the sites required by this Board from time to time would be a simple impossibility with the funds at command for such a purpose, and the settingapart of 5 or 10 acres as a school reserve in each block of land thrown open for settlement has been and is a noteworthy feature of the lands administration in this part of the colony Apart altogether from the benefit to Boards, this action of the department has doubtless a beneficial effect on the settlement of the land in the vicinity of these reserves, and thus an apparent loss may result in absolute gain to all concerned. Inspection.—lt is only necessary in this report to refer cursorily to the subject of the examination and inspection of schools under the Board. The report of the Board s Inspectors (a copy of which will be forwarded) deals comprehensively with this subject, and shows by statistics and written comment how the educational interests of the district are being attended to by those to whom is committed the charge of training and instructing the youth of this part of the colony Judging from the general tone of the examination and inspection reports which are read at each monthly meeting, the Board has reason to feel tolerably well satisfied with the work of its teachers and the educational progress of the district as a whole. The duties of the inspectorate in this district are of a more than usually arduous kind, owing chiefly to the scattered nature of the population and the consequent distances between centres of settlement. Under these circumstances much time has necessarily to be spent in travelling from school to school, and the cost of inspection is thus materially increased. It is obvious that under such conditions an increase in the amount of inspection subsidy should be made to districts where the employment of more than one Inspector is a necessity Office Staff.—The Board regrets to report that early in the year Mr John G Smith, its Treasurer for the past five years, and previously to 1885 its Secretary and Treasurer was removed by the hand of death. It is fitting that the Board should here record its sense of the loss sustained by the district in Mr Smith's death. Since its constitution in 1878 Mr Smith laboured faithfully and earnestly in the interests of the Board and in the cause of education generally, and left behind him an excellent and pleasing record for the skill, efficiency and regularity which he displayed, even when somewhat enfeebled , by old age and approaching infirmity, in discharging the duties of his office. To fill the vacancy in the treasurership caused by Mr. Smith's death the Board, at its meeting held on the 20th March, appointed its Secretary, Mr John Neill, to the dual position of Secretary and Treasurer Mr P G Stevenson was at a subsequent meeting appointed junior clerk to the Board. BuiLDiNa Operations.—Throughout the period to which this report refers the Board has, as usual in recent years, been somewhat restricted in its expenditure on school-buildings. With but an insignificant sum standing to the credit of the Building Account, the Board simply cannot afford to be over-liberal in its disbursements for building purposes without either encroaching to an undue extent on the Maintenance Fund or incurring liabilities which it may not be able to liquidate. In a district such as Southland, where the area under the Board's jurisdiction is so extensive, and in many parts so thinly populated, the difficulty of allocating such an inadequate sum as is annually allowed for the erection and maintenance of buildings is extreme. The buildings provided for school purposes are neither expensive nor ornamental, indeed, the style of architecture adopted is of the plainest description, the sole consideration of the Board being the comfort and convenience of teachers and pupils. The question of erecting new schools, and replacing buildings already past repair by using more durable material, has been discussed but the greater expense involved has ever proved an unanswerable objection to the adoption of any change. Thus it is that, with but few exceptions, the buildings in this district are of timber, and the annually-increasing charge for maintenance is a most serious consideration. As has been pointed out in previous reports, the Board has established many schools in temporary buildings, chiefly with the view of testing in a practical manner whether the alleged claims of petitioners for educational privileges were really as urgent as represented. Experience has shown that in nearly every instance such temporary arrangements have had to give place to the establishment of permanent schools, involving the necessary expenditure for adequate school accommodation. To meet such demands a heavy outlay will necessarily be requisite in the immediate future, and to provide for this will involve much anxious deliberation, unless the Board's annual grant is materially increased. It has to be noted that for the current year (1892) the sum allocated to this Board is less than that of the preceding year (1891) by £480. In view of the fact that the normal increase of school population in this district during the past seven years has been at the average rate of 353 pupils per annum, it is difficult indeed to find a reason for reducing the past insufficient grants. The grant for buildings in 1886 amounted to £3,661, that for 1891 being £2,400, and for 1892, paid in November, £1,920. These figures will show that the amount now allotted for building purposes, when there are in this district at least thirty or forty additional buildings to maintain in a proper state of repair, and the claims for the erection of new buildings are quite as numerous and urgent as they were six years ago, is altogether out of proportion to the Board's necessities. During the past year a sum of £1,508 12s. Bd.

89

E.-l

has been expended in the erection of new buildings, and extensions to buildings already existing, £761 Os. 2d. on repairs and improvements, £76 13s. sd. on furniture and appliances , £139 13s. 6d. on purchase, survey, and transfer of school-sites and £165 Os. lid. for plans, inspection, and advertising for tenders. These figures represent a total of £2,651 Os. Bd. expended on buildings during the year, and indicate that the Board has honestly endeavoured .to limit its expenditure to an amount reasonably in excess of its income for this purpose. Nor does the sum of £761, as mentioned above, indicate truly the expenditure on repairs and improvements, as many of the grants for repairs are made contingent on the various districts interested contributing sums by way of supplement. During the year 1890 a sum of £858 13s. 9d. was raised locally by School Committees throughout the district. Of this amount, £533 was expended in the execution of repairs to buildings, fences, &c. and in the purchase of school appliances and apparatus. (The figures for 1891 are not due till after the 31st March, 1892.) Unless the urgent and just claims arising from the extension of settlement in the South, already evident,' be ignored, it will simply be impossible to exercise the same judicious control over the expenditure on buildings. Owing to the payment by Government of two building grants during the year—one in January, of £2,400 for expenditure during 1891 the other in November, of £1,920 for 1892—the balance, apparently, to credit of this fund stands at £2,120, against which must be placed a sum of £409 12s. 4d., amount of liabilities due under existing contracts on the 31st December It will thus be seen that, had the grant for 1892 been paid in the year to which it really belonged, as has hitherto been the practice, a debit of £209 12s. 4d. would have been the resultant balance. Numerous applications for the creation of new school districts and the erection of school-buildings have been received within the past six months, and the opening of each additional block of land for settlement but increases the future responsibilities of the Board in this connection. Finance and Accounts.—The total income of the Board from all sources, including credit balance of £2,871 17s. lid. carried forward from last year was £33,477 10s. 4d., as shown in the Board's annual balance-sheet. This sum was made up as follows Statutory capitation grants, £22,247 10s. 9d. grants and donations for buildings, £4,404 18s. Bd. quarterly payments by School Commissioners of Otago of rents accruing from the lease of primary reserves, £3,017 3s. , scholarship grant, £478 7s. 6d., inspection subsidy, £300. These, together with several smaller receipts, constituted the Board's revenue for the year, as above stated. The Board s balance-sheet, duly certified to by the Auditor-General, shows in the aggregate how this sum has been applied. An amount of £22,010 9s. lid. has been absorbed in payment of teachers' salaries and allowances, £1,540 3s. 6d. as allowances to School Committees for incidental expenses, £2,651 os. Bd. for building purposes , £478 7s. 6d. for scholarships £809 6s. lid. as cost of inspection , and £366 os. Bd. for office staff salaries. These form the principal items in the Board s expenditure for the year, and leave an aggregate balance to credit of £5,210 18s. As already mentioned in this report, under the heading of "Buildings," this balance is more apparent than real. A sum of £1,920, building grant for year 1892, paid in advance, should be deducted. When this is done the amount to credit of the General Account will be only £419 in excess of that of the preceding year It has also to be noted that liabilities against the Board's Maintenance and Building Accounts of £624 and £409 respectively have to be provided for Making due allowance for all possible emergencies, it will be seen that the Board's financial position is thoroughly sound. This satisfactory result is due solely to a careful administration of the funds placed at its disposaJ .from year to year, and indicates that the regulations controlling its finance have been very nicely adjusted indeed. While, however, the Board's income is calculated on the strict average attendance, a similar satisfactory relation of income to expenditure cannot absolutely be relied on, and, to provide for possible contingencies which may arise to disturb the basis on which capitation grants are payable, the Board deems it but prudent that a balance to credit should, if possible, be maintained.

WELLINGTON Sic, — 16, Queen's Chambers, Wellington, 19th May, 1892. I have the honour, on behalf of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District, to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor and the Government, their thirteenth annual report, being that for the year ended the 31st December, 1891. The personnel of the Commissioners has again been altered by the resignation of Mr J W A. Marchant in June last, by which the Commissioners were deprived of the services of a most useful member of the Board. The vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Marchant has been filled by the appointment of Mr J H. Baker, the Commissioner of Crown Lands. With this exception the personnel of the Commissioners is the same as last year During the past year the Commissioners paid over to the Education Boards entitled to receive the funds under the 21st section of ' The Education Eeserves Act, 1877, the sum of £1,100. During the year also the Commissioners disposed of thirty-eight reserves, at a rental of £300 Cs. Bd.,

viz. two town sections, containing la. Or 23Jp., for £6, one village section, la., for £1, one suburban section, 7a. 2r 15p., for £3 10s. , and thirty-four rural sections, 6,677 a. 2r 38p., for £289 10s. Bd.—the rentals varying from 2d. to 2s. 4d. per acre, and in one instance, a section of special value, 7s. 6d. per acre. These lettings include also two rural sections let on a short term (two years) for timber-cutting purposes. The Commissioners have just concluded a series of sales of leases at satisfactory prices, varying from 6d. to 3s. 6d. per acre for rural sections, according to the quality and position of the reserves. These sales included every reserve vested in the Commissioners which at the time was unlet, the number of sections thus disposed of being—Seven town sections, containing 21a. Or lip., for £17 2s. 6d., six village sections, sa. lr 32p., for £8 and fourteen rural sections, 2,358 a, 2r 10p., for £248 11s. or in all, twenty-seven sections, containing 2,385 a. Or 13p. for £273 13s. 6d. Details of these lettings (1891 and 1892) will be found in the Schedules A and B, respectively, attached hereto. There is a great demand for several reserves which have been laid off but not yet vested in the Commissioners, which if available could be let immediately at good rentals , and the Commissioners again represent the urgency of vesting the lands laid off, so as to enable the Commissioners to include them in their next annual sales. Until these lands are so vested they must of necessity lie idle, become an obstruction to settlement, and of no value to the trust which they are intended to benefit. The Commissioners once more represent the great injustice which is done to the cause of secondary education by the omission to provide endowments, and again urge the necessity for setting aside reserves for this purpose. In their last annual report the Commissioners represented that the lessees under "The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," were largely seeking to avail themselves of the provisions of "The Educational Eeserves Leasing Act, 1890," in the matter of nine years' extension of lease, and in four special cases this extension has been granted over secondary reserves in the Paraekaretu Block, with the result that the rent has been increased from £76 per annum, payable during the last seven years of the old term, to £711 per annum, payable on the expiration of the leases in 1898, and during the last nine years of the new term created by the extended leases. A large number of lessees of primary reserves have applied for similar extension, but the Commissioners find that the administration of " The Education Eeserves Leasing Act, 1890," if made general, may entail upon them very considerable additional expense. They are therefore not desirous of complying with the request of lessees of primary reserves until they have sufficient data upon which to fix a fair rental for the extended term. The amount available for distribution this year (1892) is £1,550, which sum will be paid over to the Educatien Boards in terms of the 21st section of "The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," in due course. The Commissioners are glad to be able to report that the whole of the advance from Primary to Secondary Account made in 1888 (£197 os. 4d.) has been refunded, and from this time there will accrue a small revenue (£ll3 19s. 7d.), which will become divisible between the three secondary institutions entitled to share, less the proportion of expenditure chargeable to the Secondary Fund. Appended is statement of receipts and expenditure for the year ended 31st December, 1891. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J E. Blaie, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY Sib, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier 13th April, 1892. In compliance with your circular of the 14th December last, I have the honour to report as follows for the past year : — During the year Mr G. W Williams resigned his office as a Commissioner Mr Williams held the office for four years, and during the whole of that period w T as Chairman of the Commissioners. His place as a Commissioner and Chairman has been filled by the appointment of Mr Thomas Humphries. Mr J W Carlile was appointed as a Commissioner during the year vice Mr Frederick Sutton. There were two auction sales of leases during the year At the first, eleven town, nine suburban, and two rural lots were offered. All of these lots with the exception of three had previously been held under lease for twenty-one years. The rentals under the old leases aggregated £12 11s. per annum, and it is satisfactory to be able to report that under the new leases the same lands are let at a total rental of £96 6s. 6d. per annum. Of the three previously-unlet lots, two were leased for £69 ss. per annum. At the second auction sale only one section was offered, and this was passed in. The general statement of receipts and expenditure for the past year has been prepared. It has been audited and certified to as correct by the Controller and Auditor-General, and a copy of same is forwarded herewith. It will be observed, from the statement of assets and liabilities which accompanies the statement of receipts and expenditure, that the rents outstanding at the end of the year amounted to £367 18s. 4d. , but since then some of the arrears have been recovered, and it is expected that they will be materially diminished at an early date. I have, &c, The Secretary for Education, Wellington. Thos. Humphries, Chairman.

CANTEEBUEY Sir,"- Christchurch, 6th January, 1892. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners for the .Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending 31st December, 1891, together with a copy of their accounts, duly audited. The total area of the primary-education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1891, was 45,160J acres, producing an annual rental of £15,208 14s. Bd. Included in the foregoing are Eeserves Nos. 1126, 1128, and 1178, containing 1,308 acres, in the Waimate District, which at the request of the Government were let, for grazing purposes only, for one year from Ist May, 1891; and it is probable that these reserves will shortly be exchanged with the Government for hill country of equivalent value, under the powers conferred by " The Educational Endowments and Eeserves Exchange Act, 1891." There are only 39-J- acres of the estate unlet, and this consists chiefly of stony plain, and is comparatively valueless. The fixed deposit of £181 11s. 5d., which matured on the 21st December, 1891, has been renewed for one year from that date, together with a sum of £8 received from the Selwyn County Council on the 20th November, 1891, for 1 acre and 4 perches of land, taken under the Public Works Act, out of Eeserve No. 1329. During the year three reserves, one of 49J, another of 133f, and the other of 249 acres, were relet by tender for fourteen years, at satisfactory rentals, and these were the only ones dealt with excepting Eeserves Nos. 1126, 1128, and 1178, let temporarily by tender I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister for Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Dunedin, March, 1892. In obedience to Order in Council dated the 17th December, 1878, and in conformity with circular from the Education Department dated the 14th December 1891, I have the honour to submit the following report of the School Commissioners of Otago for the year ending the 31st December, 1891 :— During the year the Commissioners held fourteen meetings, at which a large amount of business was transacted. As already stated in my report for the year 1890, the School Commissioners have the control of from seven to eight hundred separate holdings, distributed over the whole of the provincial district, and the efficient oversight and management of these engross a large share of the Commissioners' time and attention. In the course of the year nine pastoral, eighty-seven agricultural, and thirteen town sections were leased by auction or tender The total area of the pastoral sections was 2,691 acres, leased to four separate tenants, and the annual rent was £56 17s. 4d., or an a.verage of about per acre. The area of the town sections was 9 acres 1 rood 24 perches, leased to thirteen tenants, and the rent was £22 15s. The area of the agricultural land was 2,586 acres, leased to forty-three tenants, the acreage of holdings ranging from Bto 288 acres. The annual rent was £365, or an average of about 2s. 9fd. per acre. In the majority of cases the land had previously been leased for fourteen or twenty-one years, and the leases expired during 1891. With few exceptions the sections were re-taken by the outgoing tenants at satisfactory rents. These statements afford sufficient proof that the education reserves in the Otago Provincial District are being occupied by bond fide settlers. In the month of July last the Commissioners had survey made of a block of about 600 acres on Bun 194, Wendonside, into sections of from 3 to 64 acres each, as a village settlement, and in December the subdivisions were offered at auction on twenty-one years' lease, and taken up by thirteen settlers at rents ranging from Is. 6d. to £1 per acre, according to size and position of the sections. In response to a petition from residents in the district, and in order to meet the demands of settlement, the Commissioners in October last gave six months' notice to the lessee of Bun 194, Wendonside, of their intention to terminate his lease. One of their number having interviewed the residents and intending settlers, and having thereafter submitted to his colleagues a report on the land, the Commissioners resolved to subdivide the 15,000 acres comprised in the run into sections of from 100 to 300 acres each, with a view to offering them for lease at the earliest opportunity The survey of these is now almost completed, and the Commissioners propose to place 10,000 acres of the land in the market about the Ist of May next. The block of land referred to consists to a large extent of almost waterless terraces, and, with the view of obtaining a supply of water for the purpose of irrigating these, and so enhancing their value, the Commissioners procured a report from Mr E Dobson, M.1.C.E., Christchurch, an eminent authority on irrigation, as to the probable cost of such a scheme. Mr Dobson, in a report of which copy is annexed, submitted two alternative proposals, one for a thorough system of irrigation, and the other for a supply of water to meet the wants of live-stock, for domestic needs, and for partial irrigation. For reasons stated in the report Mr Dobson recommended adoption of the modified scheme last mentioned, and the Commissioners, agreeing in his views, duly took steps to have it carried out. They determined, as the best method of procedure, to request the Southland County Council to exercise within the area to be leased the powers conferred upon it by "The Water-supply Act, 1891." The Council, however, acting upon a report by its own Engineer, and influenced by other reasons, declined the request, although the Commissioners offered to defray one-fourth part of the cost of the works. In these circumstances, and on account of other difficulties, the Commissioners have deemed it prudent to hold the scheme in abeyance, contenting themselves with making provision in the leases for taking water-races through the land should occasion arise for doing so in the future. The Commissioners have directed me again to request your attention to their report for 1890, wherein they urged the desirableness of having section 5 of " The Education Beserves Leasing Act, 1890, amended so as to make it apply only to areas of over 500 acres. The Commissioners also deem it advisable that power should be placed in their hands to limit the areas of educational reserves that can be leased by any one individual. At present they have no such power, and consequently are unable to prevent one person from taking up an unlimited number of sections to the detriment of bond fide settlement. The absence of this restriction is one of the chief arguments used against the School Commissioners' management, and in favour of bringing the reserves under the administration of the Land Boards—an administration that has hitherto proved extremely unfortunate for the trust. Annexed to this report will be found statement of reductions made in rents of reserves since the Commissioners came under " The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887" These, it will be seen, are of very considerable amount, reaching in the aggregate to £681 2s. 7d. per annum. This document is of importance, as constituting an answer to the charge frequently made against the Commissioners of harshness and inconsideration towards their tenants. So great an amount of relief is quite inconsistent with the truth of such a charge, and it is a fact that a great portion of the Commissioners' time has been occupied in the patient investigation, after reports by their agents, and often personal inspection by themselves, of claims for reduction of rents —claims which have always been met in a spirit of fairness and liberality The Commissioners feel it to be their duty to call your particular attention to the efforts made by them some time ago to provide for the settlement of a piece of country wiiich has come into prominence on account of its picturesque character, and the attractions which it is sure to present when better known to tourists from all parts of the world. Lake Te Anau is not only by itself a spot of singular interest and beauty, but it lies in the route now being opened up to the magnificent

101

E.-.-1

scenery of the West Coast sounds. It will always be one of the halting-places of the tourist, and probably the residence of a considerable population, drawn to it by the needs of travellers, and by its suitableness as a retreat for those who desire to enjoy quiet in the midst of natural beauty Perceiving all this, the Commissioners, who hold in their hands what may be called the key to the lake, came to an agreement last year with the lessee of the pastoral land on its borders for the resumption on certain terms, subject to the approval of Parliament, of 2,000 to 5,000 acres suitable for settlement. A Bill was prepared to give effect to this arrangement, but, owing to an unfortunate misunderstanding of its real purport, it was not introduced in the House of Representatives. The Commissioners would strongly urge on you the extreme desirableness of this matter being dealt with in the ensuing session of Parliament, as, from its being postponed, the interests of settlement, and the convenience and enjoyment of the public, have been largely hindered. It appears desirable, in order to remove misconception, that the circumstances should be explained in which the Commissioners appealed to Parliament to pass the Bill drafted to promote settlement on the Te Anau Bun. The Commissioners had not a free hand in this matter The Messrs. Ellis Brothers have a lease of the country which will not terminate for eight years. Without their concurrence, therefore, no land on the run could be taken for the purpose of immediate settlement, and the Commissioners were compelled to offer concassions which they would not have been disposed to make had not the tenants been, so far, masters of the situation. The Commissioners made the best bargain in their power, and yielded something under the desire to hasten, for reasons explained, the opening-up of the land. The matter is now open for readjustment, and the Commissioners entertain the earnest hope that a settlement will not be much longer delayed. I have the honour to ask your consideration of a letter (of which copy is hereto attached) addressed by me to the Hon. the Minister of Lands, and dealing with and rebutting certain charges, made in Parliament and by petition, against the administration of the School Commissioners. I make this request fearing the possibility of such charges being repeated in the coming session, and because I think it right that you should be reminded how fully they have been already met. Of the sum of £4,582 Bs. Bd. shown in the statement of accounts as rents, &c, in arrear on the 31st December, 1891, £1,393 2s. 9d. has been collected since that date. As explained in previous reports, all rents are debited half-yearly in advance, the greater part being charged between the Ist November and the 30th December, and it is easy to understand that in these circumstances a large amount will fail to be paid until after the close of the year The Commissioners are taking active measures in regard to outstanding liabilities, and hope to have the amount of arrears materially reduced during the current year And while on this subject I desire to point out that, while the Commissioners are fully alive to the necessity of securing due collection of the revenues of the trust, they are unwilling to bring such pressure to bear as might harass or oppress struggling tenants, and so inflict injury on settlement—an interest which they consider it to be one of their functions to promote. The Commissioners feel that a justification of this leniency may be found also in the consideration that yearly improvements are increasing the security for the ultimate payment of overdue rents. In explanation of the large sum appearing in the balance-sheet as expenses of management, it is right to state that £205 9s. 4d. was paid to the Southland County Council on account of roads; further, that £207 Is. 3d. was expended on the construction of a tide-wall for the protection of the reserves at Clifton, near Invercargill—an outlay which will largely enhance the future value of the land, again, that £55 was expended in surveys, £73 12s. 9d. for the report previously referred to on irrigation, and £76 14s. 3d. on draining, fencing, and other permanent improvement of reserves. These items amount in the aggregate to £617 17s. 7d., and, being extraordinary, cannot be placed among expenses proper of the year's management. Besides, the sum of £39 6s. was collected for the preparation of leases, and falls to be deducted from the expenditure as above set forth. These amounts in reduction, taken together, bring the net expenditure proper for the year to £1,042 15s. Bd., or 5f per cent, on the total receipts. It is to be noted also that £103 2s. lid. was paid to the Government for railway-fares, stamps, and telegrams, and £46 os. 2d. to County Councils, Eoad Boards, and boroughs as rates. The balance-sheet and statement of receipts and expenditure during the year, certified by the Controller and Auditor-General, is annexed hereto. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J P Maitland, Chairman.

APPENDIX A. The Chaibman of the Schooi* Commissioners to the Hon. the Ministee of Lands. Sib,— Dunedin, 26th May, 1891. The attention of the School Commissioners of Otago has been directed to the report of a meeting of some of their mortgagors which was recently held at Eiversdale for the purpose of petitioning the Hon. the Minister of Lands to make inquiry into the action of the Commissioners in declining to grant concessions to the said mortgagors. As a statement was made at the meeting to the effect that the Commissioners had ignored all applications for redress, and as clause 8 of the petition which was drafted at the meeting alleges that the petitioners have approached them in every possible way without success, I have been requested by the Commissioners to send you the following copy of extract from their report which

E.—l

102

was sent to the Minister of Education on the 29th May, 1890, and which I have the honour to ask you to peruse when considering the petition from settlers in the Wendon, Wendonside, and Hokonui Districts :—■ Extract from Beport of School Commissioners of Otago for Year ending 31st December, 1889 Understanding that representations have been made to the Government that, while the Land Boards have dealt fairly and liberally with deferred-payment selectors and perpetual lessees in reducing the price of their lands, the School Commissioners have given no consideration to the occupants of lands under their control who have purchased their sections for cash, but, on the contrary, have acted harshly and unfairly to them in refusing to reduce the capital value of their holdings, I now take the opportunity of bringing the whole of the facts under your notice, with a view to justify the School Commissioners' management. As stated in the Commissioners' report of their proceedings for the year 1888, petitions were received from the mortgagors of education reserves, originally purchased for cash, from the Land Department, for reductions in the unpaid balances and. in response to those petitions the School Commissioners offered certain concessions to the petitioners in the shape of reductions in the rate, of interest, but the concessions offered were not considered sufficiently liberal by the majority of the petitioners, and hence their complaints against the Commissioners' management. In order to explain fully the position of the petitioners, it is necessary to inform you as to the exact terms upon which they hold their lands from the School Commissioners. These lands were originally part of the education endowment, and were sold to the petitioners for cash by the Crown Lands Department on behalf of the School Commissioners, in terms of the Land Acts of 1882 and 1885. A deposit of 25 per cent, was required to be paid at the sale, the balance being payable within one month therefrom to the Eeceiver of Land Eevenue, the amount of purchase-money after deduction of ss. per acre for cost of survey sale, &c, being then handed over to the School Commissioners by that officer, and the title issuing to the purchaser from the Commissioner of Crown Lands. In order to enable intending purchasers to pay for the land, as well as to secure an investment for the proceeds of sales, the School Commissioners, prior to the sale of the land, advertised that they were prepared to advance two-thirds of the purchase-money on mortgage at 6 per cent, interest for a term of five years. The petitioners elected to take advantage of this offer and they paid to the Eeceiver of Land Eevenue the difference between their deposit (one-fourth of purchase-money) which they paid at the sale, and the margin of one-third required by the Commissioners. The School Commissioners thereupon paid the other two-thirds to the Eeceiver, and took mortgages from the purchasers to secure its repayment. It will thus be seen that the petitioners are in quite a different position from deferred-payment selectors or perpetual lessees —in fact, that they are the same as ordinary borrowers. The cash sections were interspersed with perpetual-lease and deferred-payment sections also part of education endowment), which were sold by the Land Department at the same time on behalf of the School Commissioners. The Land Department has, in terms of " The Selectors' Lands Eevaluation Act, 1889," made large reductions in the price of those deferred-payment and perpetual-lease sections, and the petitioners naturally feel aggrieved that their neighbours should obtain their land on better terms than themselves. The School Commissioners, as already stated, having received a petition from cash purchasers for a reduction in the price of their sections, and being of opinion that in the majority of cases there was a certain amount of hardship in one class of occupiers having to pay more than others, decided to offer to reduce the rate of interest on the mortgages to all cash purchasers from 6to 4 per cent, from the commencement of their loans and also to renew the loans at the end of five years for an additional term of seven years at the same low rate, this being equal to a cash reduction of about one-fourth of the purchase-money It was considered unwise, in view of the fact that a number of cash purchasers had paid the whole of the purchase-money on the day of the sale, to make any reduction in price to those who had not completed their purchases, and the reduction of interest to such a low rate as 4 per cent, was considered a very fair concession and relief. Those of the petitioners whose interest had been paid regularly were entitled to and received credit for a considerable time in advance, on account of the 2-per-cent. reduction but others were so far in arrear that the reduction did not nearly clear off their arrears of interest. The Commissioners have reason to believe that the most of the petitioners would have been satisfied with the concessions offered had not one or two agitators induced them to take concerted action with a view of obtaining a reduction in the price of the land. The result of this agitation was that a petition was sent to the School Commissioners asking for a revaluation of the land. In order to satisfy themselves as to its actual value, and to have the matter definitely settled, the School Commissioners appointed two of their number—viz., Messrs. J Walker Bain and James Green —a committee to personally inspect each holding. Both of these gentlemen have a practical knowledge of the value and capabilities of land, and they were accompanied by Mr J L. McDonald, the Commissioners' Agent for Southland, who is also an experienced valuer The committee spent nearly a week during December last in visiting the petitioners' sections and investigating the circumstances of each case. The following figures give the result of the committee's valuation of the sections over which the School Commissioners hold mort-

gages :—

103

E.—l

After careful consideration of the committee's report, which was most exhaustive and comprehensive, the Commissioners decided to offer the mortgagors a reduction on the basis of the foregoing valuation, the existing mortgages of those who should elect to take advantage of the reduction to be cancelled, and new mortgage deeds to be signed for the reduced amounts, the term of the new loans being for a period of seven years, and the rate of interest 6 per cent., interest to be charged at 6 per cent, on the original mortgage amount until the exchanges shall be completed. The amount of the new loans would thus be the price of the land at the reduced rate, less payments already made. The cost of the new mortgages was fixed at the low figure of £1 11s. 6d. each, exclusive of charges such as registration, &c. A circular was sent to each cash purchaser or mortgagor whose section was valued under cost-price, giving him the option of determining whether he would accept the reduction in the amount of mortgage or remain under the existing arrangement of paying 4 per cent, interest on the original amount but so far only two have accepted the offer A number of the mortgagors, no doubt, find on calculation that the reduction of interest is a greater concession than the reduction of principal, while the , interest of others is so far in arrear that, were it raised to the rate of 6 per cent., it would be impossible for them to take advantage of the reduced amount of principal by paying up interest to date. The School Commissioners have devoted a great deal of time and trouble to the consideration of the circumstances of the cash purchasers on terms, or* more correctly speaking, mortgagors, and have been actuated throughout by a desire to assist them as much as possible. At the same time, they consider that they would not be justified in reducing the price of the land to a lower figure than what they now value it at. In dealing with this question they have always felt a difficulty in regard to those who have paid up their purchase-money in full, and who may possibly make a claim for the refund of part of what they have paid, even though the Commissioners have no power to make such a refund. In adopting the before-mentioned resolution the School Commissioners resolved that their decision on the subject of reducing the amounts owing by the cash purchasers on terms should be final, and they have accordingly declined to consider any further applications for reductions. The foregoing explanation is perhaps somewhat long and minute , but, as a charge of dealing harshly with the settlers has been brought against the School Commissioners, it is desirable that the whole matter should be fully explained to the Government. I may say that three of the mortgagors mentioned in the foregoing table—-namely, Messrs. Wilson, Blaikie, and Aitken—have accepted the reductions offered, and that the whole of the others, with the exception of Messrs. White, Maher, Watt, Walker, McGregor, Henderson, and Jones, are paying their interest regularly It will thus be seen that there is not the amount of hardship in the case that the petitioners would lead you to believe. Some of the seven mortgagors last mentioned are in arrear to the extent of from three to four years' interest, and in one instance the Commissioners have been compelled to pay £11 19s. 7d. to the Eegistrar of the Supreme Court to satisfy a judgment obtained against the mortgagor by the County Council for rates. The School Commissioners think it only right that you should hear both sides of the case, and they feel confident that a perusal of the foregoing facts will refute the incorrect statement made at the meeting that the Commissioners had ignored all applications for redress, and will disabuse your mind as to the alleged harsh treatment of the mortgagors referred to in the petition. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Lands. J P Maitland, Chairman.

APPENDIX G. Eepoet by Me. E. Dobson, M.1.C.E., on a Pboposal to ieeigate Land on Edn 194. Sib,— The problem placed before me by you at the request of the School Commissioners for the Otago Provincial District appears to be briefly as follows, viz. To ascertain the possibility cost, and advisability of bringing water on to the Waikaia Plains, especially to that portion of Mr Gillanders's run which is now about to be subdivided and offered on lease in blocks of from 200 acres to 500 acres—whether for a general system of irrigation, or for the supply of water for stock and domestic use, with perhaps a limited amount of irrigation applied to gardens and orchards. It may be well at the outset to consider what is implied by each of these systems for the clearer understanding of what follows, merely remarking in addition that I use the term " successful irrigation " in a financial sense only as regards the returns to be derived from the investment of capital, quite apart from any other results, however desirable, which may follow the inauguration of schemes of water-supply in new or sparsely-settled districts. Successful irrigation (suitability of climate being of course implied) requires the fulfilment to a greater or less degree of the following conditions : (1) An ample supply of water at a cheap rate, (2) such a configuration of the surface of the soil as will allow of its being terraced to form ponds for the reception of the irrigation water, with facilities for draining off the surplus water as it passes from the land, (3) such a depth of good soil as will repay the cost of irrigation cultivation 4) facilities for obtaining the manure necessary for replacing what is taken from the soil by the extra stimulus given to vegetation. The conditions of a successful water-race system are far more simple. The great point to be aimed at is to lead the water from the source of supply to the highest part of the district to be watered, whence it can be taken in small races either through, or along the boundaries of, the several properties, each proprietor having the free use of the water as it flows, and being bound to send it on to the land below his own, and allowed, subject to certain conditions, to fill his tanks or to irrigate small patches of land for special crops, paying a special charge for the water so used. The essential condition of the supply is that it should be constant, and not fail in the dryest seasons, when the water is most wanted, especially in dairying districts. Where the supply is not sufficient to allow the whole of the races to be kept always flowing, the establishment of private tanks will, however, go far to remedy this inconvenience, as it will be remembered that the greater portion of water-race water ultimately reaches the natural outfalls, a very small portion being used by stock, absorbed by filtration into the soil, or taken up by evaporation, as is the case with irrigation water, the races, even in porous gravels, generally silting up so as to become watertight in a very few weeks after they have been opened. With regard to the artificial storage of water at the source of supply it may as well be here mentioned that for irrigation or water-race purposes this will seldom be successful,

on account of the cost of the storage-works as compared with the revenue to be derived from the water The case is very different in questions of town-supply, where the water so stored is usually sold at a minimum rate of Is. per thousand gallons. Now let us see how far the above specified conditions are applicable to the supply of the Waikaia Plains. And, first, as to sources of water-supply, there are only three sources of supply that could be made available for the general irrigation of the plains. These are the Waikaia River, the Dome Burn, and the Mataura Biver The Waikaia lies too far below and too far to the eastward of the terraces to be rendered available except by expensive engineering works, the cost of which makes it unnecessary to give this source of supply serious consideration. The Dome Burn is a fine clear stream, with a rapid fall, rising high up in the ranges, and, if it were a question of irrigating a large tract of country might be advantageously utilised for that purpose but the cost of bringing a race on to the plains for miles through a rocky gorge makes this source of supply equally unavailable with the Waikaia. We then come to the Mataura, which at first sight, from its position, appears to promise well. But the fall of the river for some miles above the plain is so slight that it would require eleven miles of race, with a fall of 4ft. to the mile, to reach the nearest point of the river suitable for the offtake. Moreover although offering no real engineering difficulties in construction, this race would be very costly involving a great length of fiuming across the lateral valleys, a considerable amount of rock-cutting, and a few short tunnels. I spent five days in the examination of this line of race, and then reluctantly abandoned its further survey, as it was evident that its construction would cost a sum approaching nearly to the whole value of the land to "he irrigated. The question remains whether it would pay to pump water from the river But as the terrace is 86ft. above the water-line, and the site offers no facilities for driving pumps by the fall of the river itself, I think this suggestion may be negatived without further consideration. I consider therefore, the first condition not to be fulfilled, and that a suitable supply for general irrigation cannot be obtained within any cost that would justify the undertaking of such a work. The second condition is, however, amply fulfilled by the general configuration of the gravel terraces. There are gentle waves of elevation and depression connected with the gullies leading to the riverflats below the terraces, but the general character of the land is that of a plane surface, falling in a south-east direction at the rate of about Bft. per mile, whilst level in a north-east direction, as shown by the lines marked on the annexed plan , and this conformation of the ground could be admirably adapted for irrigation of the divisions of the properties, say in lines south-east and northeast, the low banks required for ponding up the water being readily made with plough and scoop in directions parallel with the boundaries of the blocks. This arrangement is not, however, suited to the water-race system, as will be presently explained. The third and fourth conditions are not, however fulfilled by the Waikaia Plain. There are patches of fair land, but a broad strip of quartz-gravel of large size, intermixed with a very little soil, runs down the plain for nearly its whole length and this strip is only fit for growing grass, and would not pay for irrigation cultivation, or the cost of the heavy manuring that would be necessary to produce anything after a first and second crop had been taken from the land, even if the scanty soil now there were not washed away under the process of irrigation The conclusion to which I arrive, therefore, is that a scheme of general irrigation for the Waikaia Plains is neither practicable within any cost that would be recouped by the result, nor advisable to attempt in view of the poverty of the land to be irrigated. The question of a system of water-races, however stands on different merits. Although the river-flats are fairly watered, and there are a few streams in Blocks I. and 11., fed by springs on the foot hills, which, however, dry up in summer the terraces are practically destitute of water, and when cut up into farms would depend for a water-supply on either wells or water-races. The former source of supply is so precarious, and the labour of drawing well-water for stock so exhaustive, that I do not hesitate to say that I consider the establishment of a system of races an essential part of the scheme for leasing the proposed blocks. The supply for this system I would propose to take from the upper course of the Garvie Burn, where it issues from a rocky gorge. Following at first the course of an old race, now ploughed up, the length of the head-race would be about ten miles from the mouth of the gorge to a point marked d on the map, which is sufficiently high to command the whole of the terrace land, and if the blocks are laid out as I would recommend, with boundary-lines running north-and-south and east-and-west, there will be sufficient fall in all the boundary-ditches to keep the water flowing, subject, of course, to slight curvings in places to head the depressions leading to the gullies. The work on this race is of a very easy description, the excavations varying from 15 to 50 cubic yards per chain, and I think the sum of £1,000 would be ample for its construction, including all sluices, weirs, culverts, and road-crossings. Ido not include in this sum any amount for compensation to landowners, but it is probable that something would have to be paid on this account, and stringent provisions would have to be made to prevent the occupiers on the line of the head-race from turning the water on to their own lands without proper authority, or without attending to the regulations necessary to be enforced for preventing waste. The dimensions I would propose for the head-race are 3ft. wide on top, 2ft. 6in. wide at bottom, and 2ft. deep. When running full this race would deliver a million cubic feet of water in twenty-four hours, a quantity far in excess of the requirements for stock and household use, and which would be sufficient to allow of a limited amount of special irrigation, for which special payment should be made. I do not suppose that more than two-thirds of this quantity of water will flow down the race during the dry season, although in wet weather it would not take more than a small fraction of the water coming down the creek , but I anticipate that at the driest time there will be sufficient water for the use of stock. The dis-tributing-races may be very small (cut with plough and scoop), and, in order to utilise the water as much as possible and to prevent its running to waste, I think it may on their lower portions be desirable to place stop-planks at short intervals, so as to pond up the water in the races, that it may always be available for stock—the small flow requisite for keeping the race filled being carried through a notch in the centre of the plank.

The question of maintenance is one of some difficulty on account of the smallness of the scheme, as the revenue from the water-rate would leave but little margin for the employment of a caretaker Assuming that a rate of 3d. per acre could be levied on 10,000 acres, the whole amount of the rate would only be £125, which, perhaps, might be increased to £150 by payment for extra water to orchards and gardens. As it would be impossible out of this to pay interest on the cost of the head race and the wages of a caretaker who would devote his whole time to the work, it would be necessary to arrange with some one resident on the estate for periodical inspections only, throwing the onus of keeping the distributing-races in repair upon the occupiers of the land, reserving only the maintenance of the head-race as the duty of the Commissioners. It will also be necessary in the leases to reserve ample power to the Commissioners to enter upon the lands leased by them for the purpose of making, maintaining, or altering any races, and of cutting drainage-outlets for the discharge of race-water I think I have now referred to all the points on which information is necessary to enable the Commissioners to decide on the advisability of inaugurating a scheme of water-races for the land now about to be leased on the Waikaia Plains, simply adding my opinion that Ido not consider the land can otherwise be profitably occupied. The cost of the head-race might be reduced by making it of smaller dimensions, but this would prevent its use for the partial irrigation which I would recommend, and which would be probably advantageous to the occupiers and remunerative to the Commissioners. I have placed in an appendix various details which are better collected together than scattered through the pages of this report, and have only to add in conclusion that I shall have pleasure in forwarding at any time any further information which tha Commissioners may desire in connection with the irrigation of the Waikaia Plains. I am, &c, E. Dobson, M.I.C.E. The Secretary, School Commissioners, Otago Provincial District.
