1894. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Loed, — Wellington, 19th June, 1894. 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, 1893. I have, &c, W. P. REEVES. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Glasgow, Governor of New Zealand.

University; E.-6, University of Otago; E.-7, Canterbury College; E.-8, Auckland University College; E.-9, Secondary Schools. Public Schools. The number of pupils on the school-rolls at the end of 1893 was 124,686, the increase for the year being 2,066. The average annual increase in the sixteen years since the date at which the Education Act came into force has been 4,312, and there has been an increase every year. Until last year there was always an increase in the average attendance as well, and accordingly an increase of 2,430 was estimated for 1893. Owing, however, to a wide-spread epidemic of measles, the average attendance for the year fell short of that of the year 1892 by 455. In consideration of the derangement in the finances of the Boards that was a necessary consequence of this unforeseen diminution, the method of computing the attendance on what is known as the "working average" has been temporarily revived, and this method was applied to the last three quarters of the year, with the result of a mean addition of 2,274 attendances (2| per cent.) to the average attendances of the three quarters, the greatest addition being 3,345 for the quarter ending on the 30th of September. The " strict" average for the year was 98,615, and with the additions made for three quarters by reverting to the "working" average the number on which the capitation payment was made becomes 100,321, while the estimate for the year was a " strict " average of 101,500.

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1893.

The only districts in which the strict average attendance of 1893 was not less than that of 1892 are Wanganui and Hawke's Bay. The particulars of attendance in the several districts are given In Table B. The effects of the epidemic can be readily traced here by the diminution (from 80*6 to 78-5) in the percentage ratio between the school-rolls and the daily attendance. Two other features of this table call for notice. The first is the great differences with respect to regularity of school attendance: the highest percentage being 82-4, and the lowest 7T5. The second is the very unequal areas of operation of the several Boards: three Boards are responsible for the daily instruction (on an average) of more than 18,000 pupils each; six others for about 6,000 each—the range being from 9,416 to 4,115; and the remaining four for less than 1,700 each, with range from 2,415 to 1,364. This disparity appears to be the main cause for the contrasts between salaries in cases of approximately equal responsibilities, which contrasts again are the main incitement to the movement in favour of a " colonial scale " of payment of teachers.

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1893.

Included in the school-rolls summarised in Tables A and B are the names of 1,433 Maori and half-caste pupils, exactly equal in numbers for the two years 1892 and 1893. Their distribution with respect to districts is shown in the following table, which has no reference to the pupils—2,l34 in number—attending Native schools:—

The statistics of age and sex are given in Table C, and in. greater detail in Table No. 1 (Appendix, p. 1). The proportion of girls attending public schools remains practically unchanged. In 1893 the proportion was: Boys, 51-6 per cent.; girls, 484; and for a long series of years the; proportion has been remarkably stable. With respect to age, Table C shows that there is-a tendency towards keeping children longer at school, though the nuniber remaining at school after reaching the age of thirteen years is not large enough for any change in it to produce a very marked effect oil the percentage \of younger children. The percentage of children under ten was 5455 in 1889, and 52-8 in 1893. The average age of the pupils may be roughly estimated (from Table C) as nine years and ten months. The same result was given by the similar calculation made at the end of 1892.

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1893.

With respect to standard classification (Table D, and Appendix, p. 2), steady progress is being made. At the end of 1889 the proportion of pupils in the classes above Standard 111. was 27 - 4 per cent. ; at the end of 1893 the proportion was 31 - 7 per cent. The preparatory class has shrunk from 27 - 7 per cent, in 1889 to 25 - 4 per cent, in 1893. At the end of 1893 the proportion of pupils remaining at school after passing Standard IV. was 18*4 per cent.; at the end of 1889 the proportion was 15 per cent. The proportion of children in the preparatory classes, and in the classes to be next presented for Standards I. and 11., is 53 - 5 per cent., and is therefore almost identical with the proportion (52 - 8 per cent.) of children under the age of ten.

TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1893.

The inspection statistics for the year (Tables E, F, G) are incomplete, owing to the lamented death of Mr. E. T. Eobinson, for many years Secretary and Inspector for the Grey Education District. The number of pupils in that district being small, the totals and proportions are not greatly affected ; but comparison with the statistics of former years and general deductions are rendered comparatively valueless, and this difficulty will reappear next year.

TABLE F. —Inspection Statistics.

There is no change in the average of the ages at which the standards are passed. The " percentage of passes " for the year was not quite so high, and the "percentage of failures " was not quite so low, as in 1892. The percentages on class-subjects and additional subjects are practically equal to those of the year 1892. Table H is a summary of returns containing information which might, with a near approach to accuracy, be deduced from the statistics of standard, classification; but it has its own special uses. It shows, for example, that five-sixths of the girl-pupils receive instruction in needlework, notwithstanding that there is a large number of small schools where it is almost impossible to provide such instruction; and it shows that there are only two districts in which some knowledge of arithmetic is not imparted to. the very youngest children.

An important experiment with respect to standard examinations is about to be made. In Standards I. and 11. the examination for pass is to be intrusted to the teachers, in order that the Inspectors may have more time to devote to the work of inspection as distinguished from examination. This change, with some others, is being made on the recommendation of the Inspectors of Schools, who met in conference in February, 1894, at the invitation of the Department. The minutes and report of the Conference are submitted in a separate paper (8.-lc). Acting under instructions, the Inspector-General of Schools took the chair at the Conference with the understanding that in that position his function was to facilitate the full and mature expression of the views of the majority, and that he incurred no obligation to advise the Government to accept the decisions of the Conference. Accordingly, the report of the Conference was drawn up and signed, not by the chairman, but by three members of the Conference to whom this duty was specially assigned by resolution. The Order in Council containing revised regulations, embodying the accepted recommendations of the Inspectors, is in the press. In deference to the opinion of the Inspectors, the present method of reporting, involving a statement of percentage of passes and failures, is to be abandoned. A modification of the percentage method, recommended by them apparently with some hesitation, and not without serious protest, has not been accepted. The new regulations will resemble the regulations that were in force from 1878 to 1887, in containing no reference whatever to "percentages." During those years the term "percentage of passes " was used in varying and often misleading senses, and at length the term was adopted by the Department with the purpose of rendering it harmless by giving it a new meaning. It will probably be found that the most ingenious statement of percentage of passes will not carry much weight when the teacher determines the passes for the First and Second Standards. The number of schools in operation in December, 1893, was 1,355, against 1,302 in December, 1892. The attendance having declined in the interval, the average size of the schools has been diminished—from an average of 77*5 pupils to an average of 73 - 7. The increase in the number of small schools is remarkable. Of schools with an attendance of less than 25 pupils each the number rose, in the year, from 410 to 464. The effect that this development must haveon the average salary of a teacher is obvious, and must be seriously considered in its relation to proposals for the institution of a " colonial scale."

The increase in the number of teachers for the year is 86, and the average number of pupils for one teacher has fallen from 317 to 30 - 6. The pupilteachers constitute nearly one-third of the whole staff. The women largely outnumber the men, but the difference (576) is all accounted for in the proportion obtaining between the sexes in the ranks of the pupil-teachers. The additions to the staff above the rank of pupil-teacher show that women are being preferred, the increments for the year in the number of men and women respectively being 9 and 59.

TABLE K.—School Staff, December, 1893.

Table L shows that the increase in the number of teachers lies almost wholly in those that receive the smallest salaries. The whole increase is 86, and the increase in the number of teachers receiving less than ,£lOO a year each is 83. The average salary is declining. At the end of 1892 it was £94 Bs. 10d.; at the end of 1893 it had. fallen to £93 Bs. sd. The rates for eight years in succession are—£96 15s. 9d.; £96 9s. Id.; £92 13s. 4d. ; £96 10s. lid.; £94 10s. sd. ; £94 2s. 6d. ; £94 Bs. 10d.; £93 Bs. sd.

The qualifications of the teachers are steadily improving. Table M shows that in three years, among the teachers above the rank of pupil-teacher, the number of those who have passed the certificate examination has been increased by 240, while the number of those who have only obtained partial pass has been reduced by 54, and the number of the remainder by 23. The table relates to a date before the examinations of 1894; when these are taken into account the result is the transfer of 48 names from the list of the unqualified to that of the qualified. In other words, 1,988 out of 2,201 teachers have passed examinations for certificates. The annual publication of the full list of certificates in the Gazette will occur at the end of this month.

The annual reports of the thirteen Education Boards are printed in the Appendix (pp. 59-91), including the statements of their accounts, which are summarised in Tables No. 4 and No. 5 (Appendix, pp. 4, 5), and the following is an abstract of them : —

It appears, however, from Tables O and P, that, if thrown into one account, these balances, amounting to £50,709 13s. 7d., would only meet liabilities and leave the small balance of £6,880 in hand. Distinguishing between Building Account and Ordinary Account, only five Boards (those of the Districts of Taranaki, Wanganui, Marlborough, Otago, and Southland) had available balances in both accounts; while Wellington and North Canterbury were deficient in both. In the following cases the surplus in one account exceeded the deficit in the other: Hawke's Bay, Nelson, Westland, and South Canterbury. In the remaining cases—Auckland and Grey—the surplus in one account was outweighed by the deficit in the other.

The Boards generally continue to make representations with respect to the insufficiency of the special grants for school buildings. The over-crowded schools (see Table Q) are somewhat fewer than they were, but this is partly accounted for by the scanty attendance in 1893. The number of schools assembling in rented rooms has risen from 94 to 131, and the number of schools without residences from 400 to 456. At the end of the year seven Boards had Dalances available for buildings amounting to £6,202 8s. 5d., and the other six had liabilities unprovided for in this account amounting to .£8,949 14s. lid.

Native Schools. At the end of 1892 there were 63 ordinary Native village schools. 1 experimental subsidised school (at Waiomio), and 4 boarding-schools receiving Government scholars. The boarding-schools remain as they were. The experiment at Waiomio proved unsuccessful, and has been abandoned.- Five ordinary village schools had been closed, and four new ones opened, before the end of 1893, the number being thus reduced to 62, two of which —Waitapu and Matihetihe—are taught by one master, with assistance. The village schools closed were: Ahipara, on account of the apathy of the Native people, due, perhaps, to their pursuit of gum-digging; Otamatea, on account of the decay of the Native settlement; and Kirikiri, Tangiteroria, and Matakohe, because the preponderance of Europeans seemed to render it desirable that the work required should be taken up by the Education Board. The new schools are at Otamauru, near Whakatane; Matapihi, across the water from Tauranga; Opanaki, in the Kaihu Valley; and Te Houhi, not far from Galatea and just within the Urewera country. The average attendance at each of these schools in their normal state is between 30 and 40; but the latest returns show T a small attendance at Opanaki, where fever had been rife, and at Matapihi there is a decline apparently due to the objections offered by an influential part of the scattered population to the Department's choice of a site for a permanent school. The school at Te Kao (north of Mangonui) is about to be reopened ; Pukepoto was reopened in April, 1894. A new school was opened at Te Pupiike (near Whangaroa) in April, 1894, a smaller school at Parapara (in the Kaitaia district) in the same month, and a half-time school at Bawhia (subordinate to Eangiahua) in February. The number of headmasters at the end of the year was 51; of headmistresses, 10; of assistants, 44; and of sewing-mistresses, 11. The salaries of head-teachers ranged from £71 to £184, and those of assistants and sewingmistresses from £50 to such very small allowances as £6 or £7. The expenditure in 1893 was £12,488 11s. 9d., made up as follows : Teachers' salaries and allowances, £8,725 12s. 7d.; boarding-school allowances (including scholarships) and apprenticeship, £1,452 Is. lid. ; buildings, fencing, furniture, &c, £669 13s. 7d.; repairs and small works, £413 17s. 10d.; books and school requisites, £366 3s. 3d.; inspection (including travelling), £773 16s. 10d. ; cost of lantern-lectures, £13 15s. 4d. ; sundries, £73 10s. sd. The net expenditure is reduced to £12,405 6s. 3d. by the contribution of £83 ss. 6d. from Native reserve funds. The cost of lantern-lectures is a new item. The sum of £13 15s. 4d. that appears in the foregoing statement was expended on an experiment tried at three or four schools. An arrangement has been made for extending the experiment to all the Native schools. Two lectures at least will be given at each school, with very good lantern illustrations in natural history and physiology, with hygienic aims, varied with geographical pictures and other interesting matter. The epidemic of measles seriously affected the attendance at Native schools in 1893, and made heavy demands on the skill and kindness of many of the teachers, who were kept busy dispensing medicines and giving instruction and help in sick-nursing. The average weekly number of pupils belonging to the village schools was 2,220, and the average attendance was 1,585, which is 71*4 per cent, of the number belonging. With respect to race, 10 per cent, of the whole number on the school-rolls are described as half-caste, 16£ per cent, as European or inclining to European, and per cent, as Maori or inclining to Maori. (For Maori children attending ordinary public schools, see statement following Table B.) Forty-five per cent, of the pupils are above the age of ten years. The Inspector's report is printed as a separate paper (E.-2). At the Native boarding-schools for boys there were at the end of the year 24 Government scholars and 87 others, as follows : At St. Stephen's, Auckland, 13 scholars and 30 other pupils ; at Te Aute, Hawke's Bay, 11 scholars and 57 others, including 15 Europeans. At the girls' schools the numbers were—At Hukarere, Napier, 13 Government scholars and 26 others ; at St. Joseph's, Napier, 25 Government pupils and 22 others.

There is a prospect of heavy demands for buildings for Native schools. It is always difficult to make an estimate in this respect, because of the customary delays in obtaining titles to Native lands. Within the last few days the necessary title has been secured for a school long wanted at Arowhenua. The state of the several schools at the following places will justify the erection of buildings as soon as titles are ready: Otamauru (near Whakatane), Te Houhi (Urewera country), Te Teko (where for years the school has been carried on in dilapidated old police-buildings, quite unsuitable), and at Whangaruru (south of the Bay of Islands). With respect to new schools that cannot be instituted until conveyances are ready, Iruharama (near Waipiro Bay) is likely to be important, and there are promising openings at Tarukenga (near Eotorua), Kuatoki (northern Urewera), Taumarunui (upper Wanganui), Pipiriki (middle Wanganui), and Mawhitiwhiti (near Normanby). The old. school-buildings at Lake Botoiti should be removed to the neighbourhood of Te Ngae as soon as the difficulty relating to the site is overcome ; and it is almost certain that the Mangamuka school buildings will have to be removed to a more convenient site -and reopened. Industeial Schools. The number of cases admitted to the industrial schools in 1893 was 209— less than the number (225) for 1892, but larger than the number for any other year since 1887. Since the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act came into operation the highest number of admissions has been 238, and the lowest 158. The number of discharges during the year was 148, which is below r the average ; and the number of names on the books rose from 1,489 to 1,550. In 1886 the number of names was 1,609, a maximum ; the lowest point reached since that date is 1,454 (in 1890). In 1885 the number of cases admitted was 340. The followingstatement shows the number of admissions and discharges for the several years from 1886 to 1893 (inclusive), and also the numbers (for each year) of dependent children maintained in the schools, and—separately—of those who were simply under the control of the schools : —

The principal statistics for the year for the several schools are set out in the following table :—

The local school maintained by the local authorities of the Thames district was broken up in December, 1893. Sixteen inmates were transferred to other schools, and the remaining three were discharged. Of the persons —552 in number —described here as " at service, &c," 393 were at service in December 1893, 125 were residing with their friends under license, 18 were absent without leave, 1 was on probation for admission to the Costley Institute, 3 were in hospitals, 3in lunatic asylums, lin a blind asylum, and Bin refuges. The wages on deposit in the Post-Office Savings-bank amounted in December, 1893, to £7,383 11s. 6d. for Government schools, and £189 6s. 2d. for private schools. The 209 cases of admission may be classified as to cause as follows: Destitution, 75 ; immoral surroundings, 61; crime, 38 ; vagrancy, 23 ; want of control, 10; parents' convenience, 2. With respect to religious profession the division is—Church of England, 90; Eoman Catholic, 82 ; Presbyterian, 23; Methodist, 12 ; " Church of Christ," 1; not known, 1. Table U affords some information with respect to the character of parents, and from this information it may be inferred that 51 of the cases were not due to any misconduct on'the part of the parents ; in 25 cases the information justifies no inference ; in 40 cases blame attaches to the father alone, in 58 cases to the mother alone, and in 35 cases to both parents.

TABLE U.—Admissions classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1893.

The number of deaths during the year was eight: two occurred at the Nelson school, from measles; the remaining five cases belonged to Burnham. A boy of twelve, living at home on probation, accidentally shot himself; an infant, two months old, was in a dying state when committed, and died of bronchitis in four days; a girl aged sixteen, at service, died of pneumonia; and two girls, of nine and thirteen respectively, died in consumption.

TABLE W.—Cost of Government Schools, 1893.

The net expenditure on Government industrial schools for ]893 exceeded the corresponding amount for 1892 by about £40. The gross cost was £14,726 ss. 2d.; the net cost, £6,794 Bs. 4d. The average number of inmates of all grades belonging to these schools was 1,122: the gross cost of the maintenance of each therefore was £13 2s. 6d., and the net cost £6 Is. Id. But the average number of inmates resident in the schools and boarded out was 631; and if the salaries and rent are regarded as a fair equivalent for the work involved

in the superintendence of the inmates at service and otherwise out on probation, the remaining expenditure, amounting to about £12,000, is equal to about .£l9 each for the maintenance of the really dependent children. The Government expenditure on the private industrial schools is shown in Table X. The net expenditure is about £200 in excess of the corresponding amount for the preceding year.

EEPOETS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1894. In compliance with section 102 of " The Education, Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings for the year 1893 :— Boaed. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. W. B. Buckhurst, T. Cooper, A. Grant, M.A., S. Luke, W. P. Moat, W. Motion, J. Muir, E. Udy, and H. Wilding. In April Mr. Motion was obliged to resign his seat owing to continued illness, which ended fatally two months later. Mr. W. Lambe was elected to fill the vacancy. Messrs. Grant, Lambe, and Muir are the members to retire in March, 1894. Messrs. Lambe and Muir have been re-elected for a further term of three years, and the Eev. J. Bates has been elected to succeed Mr. Grant, who did not offer himself for re-election. Mr. Buckhurst resigned his seat in February, 1894. The election of his successor is not yet completed. Twenty-seven meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. An executive committee, consisting of the whole Board, held twenty-two meetings, four members on an average being present at each meeting. Public Schools.—Twenty-two new schools were opened during the year—viz., Araparara, Armadale, Bothwell (half-time), East Tamaki No. 2, Glen Murray (half-time), Grahamstown (halftime), Horahora, Huanui, Inumea (half-time), Kaiawa, Kaimamaku (half-time), Mahurangi Heads (half-time), Okaihau No. 2 (half-time), Otakeo, Pungaere (half-time), Parua, Euapekapeka (half-time), Tatarariki, Te Pahi No. 2, Te Pua, Utakura Valley (half-time), Waikare. The following schools .were closed owing to decreased attendance: Port Charles (aided), Taotaoroa No. 2 (half-time), Whareora. At the end of the year there were 308 schools in operation, or, counting two half-time schools as one, 294. In nearly one-fourth of this number the average attendance is less than twenty scholars, and in more than 70 per cent, of the whole number of schools there are less than fifty scholars in average attendance. These figures indicate the policy which has been adopted by the Board in following up settlement by establishing schools wherever a dozen or twenty children are living beyond the reach of existing schools. Teachers.—The number of teachers has increased from 728 to 747, classified as follows: Head teachers—lBB males, 106 females ; assistant teachers—2s males, 117 females; pupil-teachers —71 males, 193 females; sewing teachers—47 females : totals—2B4 males, 463 females. All teachers above the rank of pupil-teacher are certificated, except nine who are classified partial E, and five who are not yet classified. During the year 116 pupil-teachers were promoted to higher rank on passing the required examination, and eighteen pupil-teachers failed to pass the examination. Of 235 candidates who presented themselves for the entrance examination, 113 qualified for employment. Only thirty-four of these have as yet received employment under the Board. There are now thirty-eight certificated ex-pupil-teachers waiting promotion to higher rank. Attendance.—The attendance was affected to an extent unprecedented in this district by the epidemic of measles which prevailed in the town and suburbs during the second quarter, and spread over the country districts during the third and fourth quarters of the year. The consequent interruption of school work was most discouraging to all concerned. An attempt was made to prevent infection by temporarily closing the schools ; but it had to be abandoned, as tending to prolong, rather than to diminish, the extent and duration of the epidemic. The following table is a summary of the attendance returns for the four quarters of the year.

The Board is grateful for the assistance promptly rendered by the Minister in reverting to the payment of capitation grant on working average, and thus averting a serious embarrassment of the Board's financial position. Scholarships.—Fifty-six scholarships—nineteen senior and thirty-seven junior—were held during the year, at an aggregate cost of £1,420. Very satisfactory reports of the scholars' conduct, diligence, and progress have been received from the principals of the schools to which they are attached. Buildings.—During the six years ending December, 1893, the outlay on school buildings amounted to more than £51,000, of which £41,000 was met by parliamentary grants, and £10,000 was contributed from the Board's ordinary income for maintenance. The requirements for new school buildings are still very largely in excess of the funds available. The cost of maintenance

and repair of existing buildings is increasing every year; and it is not likely that any considerable surplus will accrue from the capitation grant for expenditure on new buildings. The rapid extension of settlement has imposed upon the Board the duty of multiplying schools and erecting buildings in remote and scattered districts, so as to place the means of education, as far as possible, within the reach of every settler. All the buildings in this district, with one exception, are constructed of wood. Some of these which were erected twenty years ago are beginning to show signs of decay, and will soon have to be replaced with new buildings, which ought to be permanent structures. It is therefore necessary that the parliamentary grant should be continued, and, if possible, increased. The Board has every confidence that the Government will continue to make liberal provision for the increasing wants of the district. Finance. —The receipts from all sources amounted to £97,914 10s. Bd., including a balance of £15,784 7s. 6d., which has been brought forward from 1892. The total expenditure was £87,892 os. 7d., leaving a balance of £10,022 10s. Id. unexpended at the 31st December, 1893. A sum of £2,000 was transferred during the year from Maintenance Account to Building Fund. At the end of the year the Maintenance Account showed a net credit balance of £471 Is. 3d. after providing for all liabilities thereon to date ; and the liabilities for buildings amounted to £1,826 16s. lid. in excess of the assets on Building Fund Account. Notwithstanding the payments on working average for two quarters of the year, the income from the statutory capitation grant of £3 15s. on the diminished average attendance did not suffice to meet the ordinary charges for maintenance during the year, which were as follows: Teachers' salaries, £3 ss. 9d. per head ; grants to Committees for incidental expenses and repair of buildings, Bs. 2d. per head; inspection and examination of schools, Is. 9-Jd. per head ; expenses of Board and departmental management, Is. 9|d. per head : making a total of £3 17s. Cd. per head. :|: The Board has carefully reviewed its financial position, and expects to bring the expenditure for 1894 within the limit of ordinary income, provided that the payment of capitation grant on working average is continued as a protection against exceptional loss through epidemics or other similar causes. Committees. —The Board has endeavoured to meet the wishes and requests of Committees in a reasonable manner ; and it is satisfactory to report that their co-operation has been given both readily and efficiently. By the exercise of a vigilant care and supervision over the school buildings and property, and by taking precautions against their being used in such a way as to suffer damage, Committees can render a most important service to the Board and to the public at large. Syllabus op Instruction.—The Board desires to urge upon the Minister of Education the desirableness of relieving the overloaded syllabus for standard examinations by curtailing the amount of drawing required. E. Udy, Chairman.

TAEANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, 10th March, 1894. In compliance with the provisions of "The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to forward the following report of the Board's proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1893 :— The Boaed.—The members who retired by rotation in March were Messrs. G. A. Adlam, D. Teed, and J. Wade ; Messrs. Adlam and Wade were re-elected, and Mr. Samuel Hill was elected in the place of Mr. Teed, who did not stand for re-election. The Board then consisted of Miss Heywood, Hon. Thomas Kelly, M.L.C., Messrs. G. A. Adlam, E. G. Allsworth, E. G. Bauchope, H. Faull, S. Hill, E. Olson, and James Wade. At the first meeting of the new Board Mr. E. G.

* Beckoning the capitation grant earned by the average attendance for the four quarters of the year 1893, the expenditure was as follows: Teachers' salaries, £3 4s. lOd. per head; grants to Committees, Bs.; inspection, Is. 9d.; expenses of Board, Is. 9d.: equals £3 10s. 4d. per head.

Bauchope was elected Chairman. During the year twenty-four ordinary and three special meetings were held, and the attendance of members has been as follows : Miss Heywood, 27 ; Mr. Bauchope, 27; Mr. Allsworth, 27; Mr. Wade, 27; Mr. Adlam, 26 ; Mr. Faull, 26; Mr. Hill, 22; Hon. T. Kelly, 17 ; and Mr. Olson, 7. In reference to this it is necessary to say the absence of the Hon. T. Kelly was unavoidable, lowing to his attendance to his parliamentary duties, and that leave of absence was granted to Mr. Olson during his absence from the colony. Shortly after his return, in November, he met with an accident, which resulted in his death, and, as his term of office expired by effiuxion of time in March, it was not considered advisable to take any steps to fill the seat thus vacated. The Board received with deep sorrow the news of the fatal accident, which deprived them of an esteemed colleague in the full vigour of manhood. In addition to the foregoing meetings, the members have been called upon to attend various Committee meetings. Schools.—Three new schools have been opened—viz., Toko, Pembroke Eoad, and Dudley Eoad—making a total of forty-nine schools now in operation in the district under the control of the Board. The attendance at the new schools fully justifies the action of the Board in providing school accommodation in these districts. The aided school at Pungarehu was taken over by the Board in October, and provision has been made out of the current year's Building Fund for building a school in that locality. Teachbes. —The number of teachers in the employ of the Board has increased from 108 to 112, classified as follows : Head teachers—3l males, 18 females; assistant teachers—3 males, 8 females ; pupil-teachers—3 males, 26 females ; sewing teachers—23 females : total, 37 males, 75 females. During the year a new scale of salaries was issued, care being taken to improve the position of assistant teachers and teachers in charge of small schools. The average salary paid to teachers, calculated on the payments made during the last quarter of the year, was £110 2s. 6d., the highest being £264 145., and the lowest £60. These payments do not include payments for training pupilteachers. One good result arising from the revision of the scale has been that fewer changes have taken place in the teaching staff this year than for many years previously. Attendance. —The number of pupils on the roll on 31st December, 1893, was 3,358, as against 3,148 on the 31st December, 1892, being an increase of 210. The average attendance during 1893 was 2,371, which, taking the increase into consideration, does not compare favourably with that (2,351) of 1892. This, however, is largely attributable to the prevalence of epidemics in the district. Sewing.—Marked improvement in this useful branch of education has been shown. This satisfactory result is to a great extent to be attributed to the ladies' committee, the members of which have devoted a great deal of time and exercised great care and ability in performing the duties which devolved upon them. Scholarships.—Two scholarships were awarded in Class A and two in Class B. Under the amended regulations greater advantages are given to children living in the country, the Board having increased the allowance to holders of scholarships living more than three miles from New Plymouth to £35 per annum. This will probably reduce the number of scholarships, but will have the effect of inducing more pupils who live in the country to become competitors, as the amount of a scholarship is now nearly sufficient to pay for their board while attending the High School. Buildings.—New schools have been erected at Toko, Pembroke Eoad, and Dudley Eoad, and additions made to the school buildings at Cardiff Eoad and Stratford. The school buildings at Omata being built on leased land, the Board has at length succeeded in acquiring the freehold, and thus removed an anomaly which has been the cause of great anxiety. Several of the School Committees have come liberally to the assistance of the Board by carting timber and other materials to the sites. Notwithstanding the additional grant of £500 to the Building Fund, the Board has found great difficulty in meeting the requirements of the district. Settlement in outlying bush districts has been steadily extending, the population of our education district having increased from 10,900 in 1886 to 14,684 in 1891, and it will be found when the next census is taken, in 1896, that the rate of increase has not lessened. The necessity for providing accommodation for teaching purposes has prevented the Board from providing residences in newly-settled parts of the district. The settlers on first going on the land are content with building houses only sufficiently large for themselves and families, and it is difficult for teachers, especially female teachers, to find lodgings in the neighbourhood of their schools. This is a crying evil, and will have to be faced before long. The Board is satisfied that, in addition to the population basis, the Minister of Education, in allocating the building grant, should take into consideration the special circumstances of each education district, or great injustice will continue to be done to districts where the bush is being pierced by pioneer settlers in every direction. The reverting to payment on the working average has enabled the Board to meet a number of minor improvements and repairs. School Committees.—There are now thirty-three School Committees in this district. Many of these, in a most praiseworthy spirit, have raised funds locally for improvements of various kinds, and it has been a source of much satisfaction to the Board that the harmonious relations between the Board and the Committees have continued unaltered during the year under review. Income and Expenditure.—The revenue of the Board from all sources, including the balance of £1,533 6s. id. from last year, was £12,370 19s. 9d., and the expenditure was £10,588 14s. Bd., leaving a credit balance at the end of the year of £1,782 ss. Id., against which there are liabilities and appropriations amounting to £1,607 2s. 9d. For information respecting the state of education in our district I beg to refer you to the Inspector's report. I have, &0., The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eobert G. Bauchope, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sib, — Education Office, Wanganui, April, 1894. In compliance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit the annual report of the proceedings of this Board for the year ending 31st December, 1893. Board.—The members who retired in March, 1893, were Mr. John Notman, Mr. G. S. Bridge, and Mr. E. E. Beckett, and they were all re-elected. Subsequently Mr. John Notman was elected Chairman, and Mr. G. Carson was temporarily absent. The Board therefore now consists of Mr. John Notman (Chairman), Mr. Henry Sanson, Mr. George S. Bridge, Eev. John Eoss, Mr. James W. Baker, Mr. J. H. Fry, Mr. George A. Hurley, Mr. G. Carson, and Mr. E. E. Beckett. The executive committee of the Board consisted of Mr. Notman, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Bridge, the latter gentleman having been appointed in place of Mr. Carson during his temporary absence. Upon Mr. Carson's return he resumed his seat upon the committee, but the Board, having found Mr. Bridge a most useful member, unanimously resolved to request him to retain his place upon the committee, which he consented to do. The Board has met twelve times, on the appointed days, and there have been sixteen meetings of the executive committee. Apart from these meetings, the various members of the Board have attended to the wants of the schools in the several districts to which they belong, and have consulted and co-operated with the School Committees whenever necessary. Schools.—There are now 103 schools open in this district, with an average weekly roll-number of 8,833, and a strict-average attendance of 6,449 scholars, the latter giving a fraction over 73 per cent, on the roll. The June return showed a larger attendance, but there was a considerable fallingoff in the September and December returns, owing to the prevalence of severe epidemics, by which not only was the school work much interrupted, but a very serious loss of revenue was sustained by the Board. The attempt to raise the average attendance by employing the police as truant inspectors, referred to in last year's report, did not result satisfactorily, and the Board therefore discontinued it. Teachees. —The teachers in the Board's service are now classed as follows : forty-two head male teachers, four head female teachers, thirty-four sole male teachers, twenty-one sole female teachers, eleven assistant male teachers, twenty-six assistant female teachers, twenty-one male pupil-teachers, and fifty female pupil-teachers, making, in all, 209. Besides the above there are cadets in training. Buildings.—During the year 1893 the following works have been undertaken : Eepairs and improvements of more or less magnitude have been made to the Bull's, Feilding, Manutahi, and other schools; while residences have been repaired and enlarged at Kakaramea and Feilding. Tenders have been accepted for new schools at Ohingaiti, Taikorea, and Nikau. The school at Brunswick was burnt down, but was re-erected, and is again in operation. During the erection of the new building the school was carried on in a tent. Ohingaiti School has also been conducted in a temporary building. A site has been purchased at Waitotara, and a tender for the erection of a residence thereon has been accepted. Fences have been erected at Awatuna, Pemberton, and Turakina. Many other works are urgently needed, but, as the requirements of the district have been so often placed before the department, it would seem useless to recapitulate the details in this report. The Board desires, however, to record that the pressing demands made upon it for new schools, residences, increase of accommodation, repairs, painting, &c, remain unsatisfied. To prove to the Committee that the Board had done all in its power to meet the requirements of the district, a summary of its financial position was published, and a copy forwarded to each Committee. This statement revealed the fact that the Board was left in the unpleasant position of having a little over £200 to meet demands amounting to about £9,800 —a state of things which, in its opinion, requires the most serious attention of the Government. School Committees.—New Committees have been elected at Awahou, Kelvin Grove, West Waitapu, and Moutoa, and the several boundaries have been adjusted. The Board has worked harmoniously with the Committees, and has found them willing to assist in furthering the cause of education.

Technical School.—This school, which was opened last year, has been in full operation, and is now completely furnished with casts, models, and scientific appliances. During the last term of last year a Saturday class for teachers was held by Mr. Blair at Palmerston North, and twentyfour teachers took advantage of it. Accompanying is the art master's report, which gives particulars of the work done, and the number of students who have availed themselves of the institution. The school is supported from the tuition fees and the interest of the investments of the Eees bequest. Scholarships.—The annual competition for the Board's scholarships was held in the month of June. Twenty candidates competed for the senior and twenty-two for the junior scholarships. Of the seniors, five competitors qualified for scholarships, seven failed to obtain the requisite total of 65 per cent., and eight failed to obtain the requisite 30 per cent, in one or more subjects. Of the juniors, four qualified for scholarships, six failed to obtain the requisite total of 60 per cent., and twelve failed to obtain the necessary 25 per cent, of the possible marks in each subject. The Board subsequently awarded five scholarships to the seniors and three to the juniors. The scholarships are tenable for two years, and are of the annual value of £20 for scholars residing at home, and £40 for those who are obliged to reside away from home in order to attend a secondary school. All the girls are obliged to hold their scholarships at the Wanganui High School for girls, and the boys either at the Wanganui Collegiate School or some other secondary school approved by the Board. Finance.—ln the detailed statement of expenditure it will be found that there is an increase under the heading of departmental expenses arising from two causes. First an action was brought against the Board by a discharged schoolmaster, and although it was successfully combated there was an unavoidable outlay for legal expenses. Secondly, the whole of the Board's rules and regulations have been revised and reprinted, involving an extra outlay for this item. In all other respects the usual economy has been observed. The .balance-sheet shows a credit balance of £860 16s. 3d. in the General Account at the end of the year, but this is nearly all absorbed by liabilities, leaving only a net credit of £159 3s. 7d. The Building Account shows a credit of £1,420 4s. 3d., but this is again absorbed by liabilities incurred, leaving a net credit of £250 7s. 9d. on this account with which to meet the demands of the whole district for the ensuing year. It has already been represented to the department that the prevailing epidemics in 1892 and 1893 caused the Board a loss of revenue of about £1,000, and upon these grounds it applied to have the September quarterly return (when the sickness prevailed) set aside, but without avail. The Board thinks that its application was just and reasonable, because, in the first place, if the sickness had not occurred, the capitation must have been paid upon the higher average, and, secondly, to reduce salaries, or to attempt to discharge teachers for a quarter or two when sickness prevails, would not only be inflicting a cruel wrong upon them, but it would be disorganizing the whole education district. The Board desires further to represent that for a number of years past the amount allocated for building purposes has been utterly inadequate, making it impossible to meet the wants of many newly-settled, districts. The Board is now practically without funds for building purposes, and I am directed to bring this matter forcibly to your notice, in order that speedy and substantial relief may be afforded. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Notman, Chairman.

Sir,— Technical School, Wanganui, 30th March, 1893. I have the honour to submit my report on the work of this school for 1893, which may be described as the first year of its existence, my last report only covering the single term after our opening in September, 1892. Casts and Models.' —At the beginning of the year we received the plaster casts of ornament and figure details, and in August the models, vases, and other appliances for elementary work. These casts and models, which were obtained from London, are similar to those recommended by the Science and Art Department, South Kensington, and are used in all Home schools. Attendance.—The number of students who attended the different classes during the three terms respectively was as follows: Morning —Drawing and painting, 6, 8, 8. Evening—Artisan class, 17, 23, 26, of which 4, 7, 9 were engineering students, and 1 architectural student; arithmetic, 3, 11, 6; shorthand, 7, 3, 8. Girls' College painting class, 5, 4, 5. Saturday drawing class for primary-school teachers, 43, 41, 24.* Total 81, 90, 77. Affiliation with South Kensington.—During the year application was made through the Education Department, Wellington, for the affiliation of this school with South Kensington. It was, however, suggested, to the Home department by the Education Department, Wellington, that, instead of separate affiliation for each New Zealand school, the latter department should act as a centre for all schools in this colony, receiving and returning the examination papers, and through which all correspondence relating to such schools in the colony should pass. This has been agreed to by the Home department, and will in future be the course adopted. Examinations.—Although not affiliated to South Kensington, we received their examination papers through the Wellington Technical School. The examinations were held in August, the results of which have just come to hand from London, and are as follows : — Science. —Practical, plane, and solid geometry : 8 candidates—B passed, none failed. Art. —Second grade : Number of papers submitted for examination, 42, of which 33 passed. First Glass. Second Class. Freehand ... ... 26 candidates 11 9 6 failed. Model ... ... 9 8 1 0 „ Perspective ... ... 7 „ 3 1 3 „ Third grade (examinations for art-class teacher's certificate): Number of papers submitted, 13, of which 9 passed—l excellent, 5 first class, 3 second class. The passes were as follows : Shading from models: First class, excellent, Caroline Blair; first class, Alfred Goldsbury. Shading from the cast: First class, Annie Beaven, Caroline Blair, Alfred Goldsbury, Minnie Jones; second class, Fred Atkins. Outline from the cast: Second class, Caroline Blair, Alfred Goldsbury. In addition to these results, which are for time examinations, candidates for art-teachers' certificates are required to submit highly-finished drawings in the same sections of work done in the school during the year. Of these, the following were accepted : Fred Atkins, shading from models, outline from the cast, practical geometry; Caroline Blair, shading from the cast (excellent), shading from models, outline from the cast, practical geometry; Minnie Jones, shading from models. Satubday Abt Class fob Teachees undeb the Boaed.—This class was held in Wanganui during the first and second terms of the year, and that of, the third term in the Central School, Palmerston North. The Wanganui class was, by reason of the number attending, taken in two divisions, town teachers from 10 to 1, and country teachers from 12 to 3, the hour common to both classes —viz., from 12 to I—being devoted to lectures on second-grade geometry and perspective. From 1.30 to 2.30 lectures were delivered on primary-school-syllabus requirements in freehand, geometry, scale-drawing, model and solid geometry. The Palmerston class held during the third term was the result of an application to the Board from teachers in schools at that end of the district, the distance to Wanganui preventing many from attending here who were anxious to receive instruction. Although over thirty teachers signified their intention of attending, only twenty-four joined the class, for which a fee of two guineas was charged, the Board refunding £1 to those who attended ten of the thirteen Saturdays on which the class met, and who passed a satisfactory examination at the end of the term. All those who joined attended regularly, Worked well, and qualified for the Board's bonus.

* Tho small attendance during this term was due to the fact that the class was hold in Palmerston North, and that a foe was charged.

E.—l

It may be well to mention that the teachers who attended the Saturday class in Wanganui during the first and second terms were most anxious to take advantage of the instruction provided by the Board. Many town teachers attended afternoon lectures in addition to their morning work, and an extra hour on Friday afternoon for perspective. As a result of this, fifteen second-grade, four third-grade, and five geometrical certificates were obtained from South Kensington by those who attended this class. Primary-school Work.—ln connection with the Palmerston class, I may mention that teachers at the north end of the district are equally anxious that a local Saturday class should be held in Hawera for at least one term during the year. To do this it would be necessary for me to leave Wanganui on Friday, returning on Monday. Such an arrangement under the present state of things is impossible. Ido not see how the difficulty can be met until the Board deals with the question of primary-school drawing in the same way as the Wellington Board. There the art master supervises the drawing in primary schools. At regular intervals visits are made by him to schools throughout the district for the purpose of helping teachers with their work. This is as it should be. It involves a small expenditure of primary-school money, but all concerned receive ample value for that expenditure. I hope this Board will consider the question, and make arrangements for a similar system of primary-school assistance and examination here. Teachers' Drawing Certificates.—Teachers who attend the Saturday class invariably ask for information concerning the drawing required by the Education Department for classification certificates. As no definite instructions are issued by the department, and as certificates are granted to candidates who have not the knowledge required by Inspectors of Schools from Sixth Standard pupils, it seems that the department should consider the question. Drawing has now been a compulsory subject in all standards for several years, and it does not seem fair that a teacher should be required to instruct pupils in work without having obtained certificates showing that he is acquainted with that work. It is not only unfair to the teacher, it is unfair to the pupil and to the subject. The pass need not be high, but let it for a beginning be something, even that of the standard examination for pupils. I understand that this Board is taking steps in that direction with reference'to its pupil-teachers, and if drawing is to remain a pass-subject in the syllabus the Education Department should see that the teachers of the colony are qualified to teach those branches of drawing that the Inspectors are called on to demand. Exhibition op Students' Work.—At the end of the year an exhibition, open to the public, of drawings and paintings done by the students during the past four terms was held in the school. It is intended to hold a similar exhibition at the end of each annual session, so that the public may see what has been done during the year, and that the students themselves may compare their work with that of their fellow-students. A large number of visitors inspected the work during the four days it was on view. Science Apparatus.—Last year an order was sent to Townson and Mercer, London, for science apparatus for elementary work. This has just been unpacked, and a course of science lectures, as required by the Education Department for teachers' classification certificates, will be delivered during the second and third terms of this year. I have, &c, The Chairman, Wanganui Education Board. David Blair.

WELLINGTON. Sib,— Wellington, 31st March, 1894. In "accordance with section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1893:— Board. —The members of the Board'at the beginning of the year were Mr. J. E. Blair (Chairman), Mr. W. 0. Buchanan, Mr. G. Beetham, Mr. F. H. Fraser, Mr. W. W. McCardle, Mr. W. A. Fitzherbert, Mr. J. Young, Dr. A. K. Newman, and the Eev. J. Paterson. Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Fraser, and Mr. McCardle retired in March, and were re-elected. Mr. Beetham resigned his seat in November, and Mr. Frederick Brady was elected to fill the vacancy. During the year the Board met twelve times for the transaction of business, the meetings being held in the Board's office on the last Wednesday in each month. The individual attendance of members was as follows: J. E. Blair, 9; G. Beetham, 4; W. C. Buchanan, 8 ; W. A. Fitzherbert, 8 ; F. H. Fraser, 11; W. W. McCardle, 9 ; Dr. Newman, 11; J. Young, 11; Eev. J. Paterson, 10. Schools.—At the close of 1892 there were eighty-seven schools in operation. This number was augmented during the year 1893 by the establishment of new schools at Te Horo, Tokomaru, Kaiwhata, Ngaturi, Eangitumau, Khandallah, and Pencarrow, and new school buildings were in course of construction at Khandallah and Mangaone Valley. New sites had been purchased at Otaki, Mitcheltown, and Khandallah, and new schools completed at Eangitumau, Hawera, Mauriceville East, Masterton (infant school), Cross's Creek, Tokomaru, Tahoro, Te Aro (infant school). A residence has been erected at Taueru, and considerable improvements and extensions effected at Tinui and Newtown. During the year the Otaki School was burned down. The following statement shows the classification of the schools according to the average attendance: Under 15 pupils, six ; 15 and under 20 pupils, ten ; 20 and under 25 pupils, six; 25 and under 50 pupils, twenty-nine ; 50 and under 75 pupils, ten; 75 and under 100 pupils, six ; 100 and under 150 pupils, eight; 150 and under 300 pupils, seven; 300 and under 500 pupils, eight; 500 and upwards, two. The schools at Grassendale and Ditton were not open during the last quarter of the year, Teachers.—There were 307 teachers in the service of the Board at the close of the year, classed as follows : Male head teachers, 43; female head teachers, 10; male sole teachers, 17 ; female sole teachers, 22; male assistants, 29; female assistants, 51; male pupil-teachers, 10; female pupil-teachers, 120; sewing teachers, 5. 9—E. 1.

Ages and Standaeds.—The 12,254 children on the books are classified as follows: Ages— five and under six years, 910; six and under seven, 1,313; seven and under eight, 1,568; eight and under nine, 1,376 ; nine and under ten, 1,514 ; ten and under eleven, 1,423 ; eleven and under twelve, 1,307 ; twelve and under thirteen, 1,217; thirteen and under fourteen, 967; fourteen and under fifteen, 477; above fifteen years, 182. Standards—Preparatory Class, 3,098 ; Standard 1., 1,598; Standard 11., 1,537; Standard 111., 1,722; Standard IV., 1,612; Standard V., 1,254; Standard VI., 943; above Standard VI., 490. School Attendance. —At the close of 1893 there were 12,254 children on the books, with an average of 9,713, increased to 9,816 on the working average, being an increase of 414 on the books, and only 95 in average attendance. The epidemic of measles which occurred during the year completely disorganized many of the schools, reducing the average in September quarter to only 9,090, a practical loss of nearly 700 children. During the whole of the period of this epidemic all the schools were kept open, in order that those children who could attend might have full advantage of the education provided by the State. In doing this the Board felt assured that no loss of income would be allowed by the Government for so carrying out the letter and spirit of the Education Act. Had the Board acceded to the requests of the School Committees and closed the schools for the greater part of the September quarter ie is presumed the Government would have paid the usual statutory grant on such attendance as then would have been made. If this contention is correct the Board appears to have been a heavy loser for not depriving hundreds of children of a considerable portion of their education. The inability of the Government to accede to the Board's application that payment for the September quarter should be based on the average for the preceding quarter made a difference to the Board's income of £502 10s. The decision to calculate the capitation grant on the working average resulted in a gain to the Board of £67 10s. on June quarter's average and £631 17s. 6d. on the September returns. But for this action the Board's loss would have amounted to £1,201 7s. 6d. Building- Geant. —The small sum allocated to this Board renders it powerless to cope with the increasing demands of a rapidly-growing population and continuously progressive settlement in the country districts. Year after year the Board is compelled to limit provision, where any can be made, to the bare wants of the time, and provide gradual extensions at disproportionate cost as the available accommodation becomes overtaxed. Bach year's accounts show a considerable sum spent in rents of temporary buildings, many of which are necessarily ill fitted for the purpose. From the Board's inability to provide residences in new settlements their choice of teachers is very much restricted, and the future of the children consequently suffers very materially. It has also to be noted that the many school buildings (over 138) under the Board's care can receive but very inadequate attention in keeping them in anything like proper repair. This enforced false economy means greatly enhanced expenditure hereafter. While still adhering to the opinion that the sum available is inadequate, the Board does not thereby wish to cast any reflection on the Education Department, but merely to give expression to the fact that, through the circumstances of the case, this Board is unable to make an economical administration of the funds at its disposal. No doubt this position is largely due to the absence of any provision having been made by the provincial authorities to set aside school sites. The special grant towards technical education of £100, though of small amount, and made so many years after this subject has been successfully dealt with in this district, is fully acknowledged as an act of recognition of the efforts in this direction made by the Board. The distribution of the grant for technical education among other Boards as well is viewed with pleasure, and the Board looks forward to fair and full competition with other centres of the colony in the South Kensington examinations. Technical School.' —From the annual report of the Director of the Technical School will be seen the steady growth and expansion of this institution and the continued success of our competition with the wide field of exhibitors at the South Kensington examinations. The completion of the subdivision of the building and the installation of electric light removes the inconvenience of past years, and leaves nothing more to be desired than a reasonable amount of fresh material for studies as the different branches increase in efficiency. Had this school been in Great Britain the sum of £269 10s. would have been received as the result of its successes at South Kensington examinations. The Board hopes that, as the matter of these examinations has now been placed in the hands of the Education Department, the time is not far distant when every Education Board will be enabled to carry out technical work, and thus create a friendly rivalry within the colony. The Board has decided that an annual exhibition of the work of this school shall now be held within the school itself, and open free to the public, prior to the work being forwarded to South Kensington, in the hope that by these means a more general interest will be taken and a fuller appreciation gained of the various branches of study here carried out. The Board takes this opportunity of placing on record its thanks to those ladies and gentlemen who have so generously provided prizes for the various classes, thereby creating an additional incentive to hard work and careful study among the students. Scholaeships.—At the annual examination of candidates for the Board's scholarships held in October, 165 candidates presented themselves, forty-two more than the previous year. The examination was conducted by the Board's Inspectors, whose report speaks very favourably of the work as a whole. Of course a large number of those competing do so without selection by the teacher. The scholarships were awarded as follows: Wairarapa, three, at £30 each ; country districts, four, at £15 each ; city schools, nine, at £15 each. Pupil-teachebs.—The usual examination of pupil-teachers was conducted in December. In all, seventy were examined, twelve of whom, having matriculated, were not required to take all the papers; eleven failed to obtain higher classification, but only four were considered actual failures, the others having been but a short time in the Board's service. The result of this year's classifica* tion shows that we have a very large number of ex-pupil-teachers, with very few exceptions

67

E.—l

holding full certificates and in every way eligible for appointment as assistants when suitable openings occur. In terms of the Board's regulations, these have no claim to be retained in the service of the Board, but those who have passed their final examination with credit may be continued for a period not exceeding two years, at salaries ranging from £50 to £60 for females and £60 to £70 for males, which time they will teach in any school where their services may be required, but an allowance will be made should they be required to live away from their homes. All things being equal, teachers trained in the service of the Board will have the preference in filling vacancies. Ex-pupil-teachers, 60 —fifth year, 7; fourth year, 21; third year, 26; second year, 18; first year, 15. School Inspection.—The annual report of the Inspectors shows an increase of 656 children on the returns for last year. The seriousness of the epidemic of measles is clearly shown in the necessary falling-off in standard and class work. The general work and management of the schools continue on the whole very satisfactory. The teaching of singing by Mr. Eobert Parker is much appreciated by the teachers, who attend in large numbers for instruction in this subject. Classes are held in Wellington and Masterton, and the effect in the schools in certain departments is already apparent. The work of Mr. De Mey, the drill instructor, who freely visits the schools in the country, as well as those in the city, has very good effect; and. the officers of the Permanent Artillery continue to do good service in teaching army physical exercises and extension drill in the city schools. Finance. —The balance-sheet shows that the Board has expended an exceptional amount this year for works of maintenance and general reparation—more than will be available during 1894, seeing that the substantial balance at Ist January, 1893, has all been absorbed and a small amount of overdraft created against the income for 1894. The Board has made a considerable increase to salaries of the junior teachers and to the grant to School Committees. The School Committees will now be expected to meet the demands for many works which have heretofore been carried out by the Board. The Board is well aware of the care exercised by School Committees in the management of their finances, and again expresses its high appreciation of the efficient manner in which those 'bodies have performed their functions, and the cordial assistance they have rendered the Board in carrying out the provisions of the Education Act. J. E. Blaie, Chairman.

Eepoet op the Dieectob of the Technical School. Sib,— Wellington, 10th March, 1894. I have the honour to submit my report upon primary drawing and the work of the Technical School for 1893, as follows :—■ Primary Drawing. Very satisfactory progress has been made during the year in primary drawing. A larger number of schools were visited than in previous years; information has been afforded the staff generally upon methods and matter in connection with drawing wherever it was requisite. The schools are well supplied with appliances necessary to enable them to comply with the requirements of the syllabus. A copy of the report made after my vsit to each school has this year been supplied to the Committees as well as to each head teacher. Class use of the small set of models supplied

E.—l

68

to the schools has, I think, done a great amount of good. Giving, as it does, a sound basis for future work, these early lessons in geometric form will be found invaluable in model drawing and geometry. I regret the changes made in the syllabus of primary drawing by the Education Department. Geometry is not now required from the girls, which means that the alphabet of drawing is not to be taught to girls. This is a very serious loss, and I trust few schools will take advantage of the new regulation, but work as formerly. I might point out that no primary-drawing scholarship can be obtained without geometry, as this subject is included in the full first-grade drawing certificate, in accordance with the South Kensington requirements. The recommendation to strike out solid geometry by the recent Inspectors' Conference shows how little is understood of the true use of drawing. Solid geometry to constructive trades is indispensable, and therefore the greatest importance should be attached to it. A new syllabus of drawing will shortly be issued to meet the revised regulations. Fiest-geade Dkawing- Examination.—ln this examination the following were the results : The total number of papers issued was 5,381; and the number worked, 4,897. Subdivision of papers : Freehand—B27 passed, 708 failed; geometry —1,151 passed, 594 failed ; scale—79l passed, 305 failed; model—336 passed, 185 failed : total—3,los passed, 1,792 failed. Of the above papers, 740 were taken by schools not under the Wellington Board, and 492 passes were recorded. Number of papers excellent, 373 ; number of papers good, 465; individual candidates, 3,185; individual passes, 2,330; schools presenting candidates, 91. Increase upon 1892 : Papers worked, 409; papers passed, 602 ; individual candidates, 225; individual passes, 479 ; schools presenting candidates, 8. In the freehand papers, proportion and the method of blocking in the figure were the most important causes of failure. The geometric papers proved that the small solids had not been sufficiently used in class instruction, the definitions required not being satisfactorily answered. The scale papers show a good knowledge ; it is desirable that as much work as possible should be done from actual measurement. The most marked advance is shown in the most difficult subject, model drawing; this year 521 papers were taken and 336 passes recorded, as against 376 papers and 169 passes for the previous year. The interest in this examination is still increasing, and the results obtained show its value. Its effects are more apparent in the students attending the evening technical classes, who, in a great measure, hold some or all of the first-grade certificates, and can therefore, upon entering the central school, pass more readily to the special work in connection with their daily employment. Applications have been made from nineteen schools outside the Wellington District, these schools being from the Wanganui, Westland, Greymouth and Marlborough Districts. It will be seen by the summary that 740 papers were taken by these outside schools, and that 492 passes were recorded. The following numbers show the increase of certificates obtained since the first-grade examination was instituted: 1884, 81 certificates; 1887, 402 certificates; 1890, 1,966 certificates; 1893, 3,105 certificates. 11,938 sectional certificates have been issued since the examination was established, and 509 lull certificates. Scholakships.-—The work done by the sixty-two scholars holding drawing scholarships has been of a very satisfactory character, and has proved of value to a large number of boys entering the various trades and professions. Over 230 competed for the vacancies occurring. The following were awarded a second-year's scholarship: Maud. Dodwell, Eobert Hamilton, Herbert Pelham, Edwin Frethey, Edith Edwards, Agnes Wolter, William Brewer, Nellie Wills, Charles Cathie, Elorrie Sidey, Arthur Souter, and Lilian Chappie. The fifty scholarships were gained as follows : Thorndon School, 7; Clyde Quay, 3; Mount Cook Boys', 5; Newtown, 15; Terrace, 8; Mount Cook Girls', 5 ; Te Aro, 5 ; Petone, 2. Thus all the city schools were represented. It is to be regretted that , we are still unable to give these scholarship-holders, as well as others holding the full first-grade certificate, a good course of carpentry. The city by-laws, however, prevent our building a workshop except in brick, the funds for which cannot at present be voted. Instruction to teachers and pupil-teachers has been continued as usual during the year, with the exception of the Wednesday afternoon class, which had to be discontinued on account of Mr. Parker's singing class. lam satisfied with the progress made, but require greater punctuality in attendance. lam glad to report that many of the teachers who do not attend the classes have obtained the necessary information to enable them to comply with the requirements of the syllabus. The correspondence class for country teachers has done good work. The following return shows the number of drawing certificates held by teachers in the Board's service : 85 hold full certificates, 180 hold sectional certificates, 63 are without certificates, subdivided as follows: head teachers—24 hold full certificates, 37 hold sectional certificates, 27 without certificates; assistant teachers—26 hold full certificates, 35 hold sectional certificates, 9 without certificates; ex-pupil-teachers—2s hold full certificates, 26 hold sectional certificates, 1 without certificate ; pupil-teachers—lo hold full certificates, 82 hold sectional certificates, 26 without certificates. South Kensington Examinations.—The following teachers were successful in the Kensington examinations of the third or higher grade : Elizabeth Benbow, Jessie Eichardson, Clara Treadwell, Kate Lawson, William Eowntree. In elementary light and shade from the cast, Mary White, Laura Baird, Marian Wilson, Mabel Young, and Elizabeth Benbow were successful. Particulars will be found under the heading of " Examination," Technical School. A large number of teachers are also competing annually in the South Kensington second-grade examinations, with excellent results. Local Examinations.' —The following teachers were successful in the third or higher grade : Mary Newton, Laura Baird, Kate Lawson, Elizabeth Benbow, William Eowntree. The following have completed their second-grade certificates in accordance with the requirements of the Board :

Improvements.—During the year the school has been completed internally; the walls and ceilings are now lined as originally intended. It was very necessary that this should be done as the appliances were rapidly deteriorating, the casts especially so. The electric light has been successfully introduced in the place of gas, proving beneficial not only from the fact that the light is capable of concentration (a feature of our requirements), but from a health point of view. The lighting and completion of the rooms have greatly facilitated the work of the school. Classes. Drawing and Painting.—These classes have shown satisfactory progress during the year; the number of students has been larger than usual. The life class has made the greatest progress, although there is possibly not much to show in the way of results in examinations. lam desirous of seeing all students working for this class, as undoubtedly it is the best possible training in drawing, no matter whether for art or technical purposes. The sketch-club work, which consists of work done under the following headings—subject sketch, still life, painting, designing, and memory drawing—has done only moderate work. The students have not sufficiently appreciated the objects of the club—viz., originality, composition, and strengthening the memory. I hope to see much greater interest in the work in this direction during the year. The few who did compete did remarkably good work. The evening classes are filled with very energetic and earnest workers. Machine Drawing.—Mr. Beattie in his report states that " Great credit is due to Mr. Welsby for the sound practical instruction given in this class. A number of the students are able to make really useful working drawings, and furthermore they understand what they draw. The answers to questions indicate very intelligent theoretical knowledge of the practical subjects there dealt with. Hand-sketching of mechanical details is somewhat weak. I should recommend more time being devoted to that branch of work." Mr. Beattie recommends that our stock of patterns and models should be materially added to. Eeferring to the question of hand-sketching, there are a number of students who come to the school under the impression that because they come to learn mechanical drawing it is necessary that they go at once into that section. I would urge all those joining the school for this or any work to first obtain a knowledge of geometrical and model drawing, with the simplest elements of perspective. Geometry is the basis of all constructive work, and must of necessity be learnt. Model drawing will enable freehand sketches of work in hand to be made with ease and precision. These subjects are of the very highest importance to every one concerned, and will do more than anything else towards advancing a workman and making labour what it should be—a skilled work, instead of what in a large number of cases it is at present, rule-of-thumb and drudgery. Architectural and Building Construction.—Mr. Clere, the examiner, expresses satisfaction at the good work done. Eeferring to the numbers in the class, Mr. Clere states, "I have to express my regret that more of our building-trade apprentices do not take advantage of the means of education which you have placed at their disposal. The good rooms, the books and diagrams, and, above all, the sound teaching of Mr. Campbell ought (especially in the absence of any rival institution) to attract many more young men than they now do." The fault, as Mr. Clere says, does not lie with the school, but must be sought outside it. Personally I have done all in my power to urge the advantages of the classes, not only by circulars, but by visits to their trade meetings. Id is very possible that these young men, owing to reduced fares, may find themselves eventually supplanted by those from the Home country who have taken the trouble (as they do in other countries) to get a knowledge of the necessary grounding in their work such as all must have if they desire to

be efficient workmen. In connection with this class, a large number of plumbers are now presenting themselves to qualify for the necessary certificate required by the City Corporation in 1895. Wellington College and Giels' High School.—Classes have been continued at both institutions during the year, and satisfactory progress made. Scholars in either school holding primary-drawing scholarships are entitled to join these classes for the period of their scholarships. Examinations. The usual examinations were held during the year. As showing the increase in the work of the school, I may state that the number of papers examined during the year was 5,709, and the number of certificates issued was 3,632. The number of certificates issued in all grades since the school was established in 1886 is 15,470, subdivided as follows: Primary or first grade, 11,938; intermediate or second grade, 2,151; higher or third grade, 571; South Kensington, 807 ; and City and Guilds of London, 3. Second Geade (Local). —Total number of papers taken, 357, subdivided as follows : Freehand, 119 candidates—7o passed, 49 failed; geometry, 67 candidates—34 passed, 33 failed; perspective, 45 candidates—37 passed, 8 failed; model, 106 candidates —63 passed, 43 failed; memory, blackboard, 20 candidates —8 passed, 12 failed. Total, 357 candidates—-212 passed, 145 failed; 16 excellent, 37 good. Number of individual candidates examined, 277 ; successful, 182. In this examination the geometrical papers were on a level with those of previous years. The freehand papers show conclusively that greater attention is required to the method of blocking in the figure. The perspective and model-drawing papers are a decided improvement upon last year's work. I again call the attention of memory-drawing candidates to the fact that anything moderately blocked in will not do. It should be understood that a well- and carefully-studied drawing is required. The following students have this year completed their second-grade certificate : Ina Lee, E. Whittem. Thi-kd Geadb (Local).' —Total number of papers taken, 98 —passes, 55; failures, 43. Individual candidates, 47; individual passes, 35.

By a recent regulation of the department no prizes are now awarded for works in connection with the art-class teachers' certificate, a section in which this school has been particularly successful in former years. The works now selected for national competition are also of a decidedly higher standard, and consequently fewer in number. The school may therefore, under these stringent conditions, be congratulated on obtaining two prizes in the national competition, viz.: Millicent Igglesden, national book prize ; Sara G. Jollie, third-grade prize. The results of the personal examinations are highly satisfactory in seven sections in which candidates presented themselves; there were no failures. The following were the results of the examinations: — Second Geade. —Number of papers taken, 220—Passed, 167 ; failed, 53. First Class.

Had the school been within Great Britain, a payment of £269 10s. would have been made as a result of the examinations. The examinations in connection with the Science and Art Department have now been handed over to the Education Department. This school has been the means of inaugurating the South Kensington system in the colony, and it has now grown to such an extent, applications being received from all parts of the colony, that it was deemed advisable to place the matter in the hands of the Education Department, that the fullest development might be stimulated. City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education. In connection with this important institution, six candidates presented themselves for the first examination held, three being successful, as follows: Edward G. Brown, pass in ordinary grade electric lighting; Eobert Scott, pass in ordinary grade theoretical and practical plumbing; John Alexander, pass in ordinary grade theoretical plumbing. Thanks are due to Messrs. J. E. Hayes and Co. for their kindness in giving the use of their shop and providing materials in connection with the plumbers' examination. Candidates from any part of the colony may now present themselves through the school for any of the under-mentioned sections. It may be mentioned that the examiners are men of the highest repute in their several departments. The examinations are in two grades—(l) Ordinary ; (2) honours. The ordinary examination is intended principally for apprentices and journeymen ; the honours examination for foremen, masters, managers, and teachers. Candidates may enter themselves in either grade, except in certain subjects in which they are reqixired to obtain the ordinary grade first. Candidates may obtain a first or second class in either grade. If a second class is obtained they may sit again for the higher classification. The examinations are held about June. Applications for permission to sit should therefore be made on or before the 18th February. A registration fee of 2s. 6d. per section is charged for this examination. The subjects of examination are as follows: 1, salt manufacture; 2, alkali manufacture; 3, soap manufacture; 4, bread-making; 5, brewing; 6, spirit manufacture; 7, coal-tar products; 8, sugar manufacture ; 9, painters' colours, oils, and varnishes ; 10, oils and fats, including candle manufacture; 11, gas manufacture; 12, iron and steel manufacture; 13, paper manufacture; 14, photography; 15, pottery and porcelain ; 16, glass-making; 17, dressing of skins ; 18, leathertanning; 19, boot and shoe manufacture; 20, silk-dyeing; 21, wool-dyeing; 22, cotton-dyeing; 23, cotton and linen bleaching; 24, calico and linen printing ; 25, wool and worsted spinning; 26, cloth-weaving ; 27, cotton-spinning ; 28, flax-spinning; 29, linen-weaving; 30, silk throwing and spinning; 31, silk-weaving; 32, jute-spinning; 33, jute-weaving; 34, lace manufacture; 35, framework knitting and hosiery ; 36, hat manufacture; 37, telegraphy and telephony; 38, electric lighting and power distribution ; 39, electro-metallurgy ; 40, metal-plate work ; 41, plumbers' work; 42, silversmiths' work and plated; 43, goldsmiths' work and plated wares; 44, watch and clock making; 45, mechanical engineering; 46, road-carriage building; 47, rail-carriage building ; 48, typography; 49, lithography; 50, raising and preparation of ores; 51, mine surveying ; 52, milling (flour manufacture); 53, carpentry and joinery; 54, ship-carpentry; 55, shipjoinery ; 56, brickwork and masonry; 57, plasterers' work; 58, dressmaking; 59, woodwork (for teachers of elementary schools); 60, cotton-weaving. I hope that advantage may be taken of these examinations by the various trades, and especially by the apprentices. Prizes.

A large number of text-books are circulated amongst the students in connection with their special requirements and trades. The additions to the library during the year have been as follows: Mechanical section—Watchmakers' Handbook, Modern Horology, North of England Institute of Mining Engineers (9 vols.), Scientific Eeview, Orthographic Projection, Pattern-makers' Handy Book; architectural section—Plumbing Practice (3 vols.), Eddystone Lighthouse, Plastering, Eoof Carpentry, forty plates on building construction, Architectural Drawing, Architecture of the Farm, Standard Practical Plumbing, Plumbing, House Drainage, he, The Plumber and Sanitary Houses (2 vols.). The following contributions have been made during the year: By Mr. Dempsey —Art of Painting, Science of Proportion; by Mr. Kirkcaldie—one small screen. Periodicals.—The following contributions have been received : The Engineer, from the publishers ;■ Work, from Messrs. Cassell and Company; The Decorator, from Messrs. Baillie Brothers ; The Electrician, from Lady Glasgow; The Art Journal, from Mr. Pearson; Engineering, from the Education Board; The Architect, from Mr. Hamilton; The Building Neios, from Sawmillers' Association; The Bevieiv of Bevieivs, from Mr. J. A. Tripe. The above are placed for the use of the students, tiud at the end of the year are bound and added to the library. Distribution of Prizes and Certificates. The prizes and certificates were presented in the large hall on the 24th of July by His Excellency the Governor, the Earl of Glasgow, in the presence of a large assembly of persons, the Chairman of the Board, Mr. J. E. Blair, presiding. The class-rooms and the works of the students were afterwards thrown open for inspection. General Remarks. Comments have been made regarding the expenditure upon the Technical School and its furniture. I now take the opportunity of calling your attention to the fact that by entertainments and subscriptions the sum of £288 was raised for casts, models, library, and prizes in the earlier years of this institution. The work cannot be carried on without appliances and a suitable building to work in, and it is owing to the very large increase of students (as you now see, over 400) that so much additional expenditure was necessary ; this expenditure having now been met, the annual up-keep will not be large in comparison with the work accomplished. The school for many years had a very hard up-hill task; it has, however, survived, is in a prosperous condition, and continues rapidly to progress. In considering the expenses of this school the great value of the primary work should be considered, the supervision of which all comes under this institution. If those who now receive free instruction in the school in connection with primary work were to pay fees in accordance with the regulations it would be found that our expenditure would be fully met, Thanks.—My thanks are due to all those whom I have named, and who have so generously contributed to the successful year's working, either by contributions of prizes, books, or periodicals; to Messrs. A. E. Beattie, H. S. Wardell, and F. de J. Clere, who acted as honorary examiners; and to the staff, of whom I may say that more energetic or earnest workers I could not posssibly have. I have, &c, The Chairman, Wellington Education Board. Arthue D. Eilby, Director.

Schools. —Two new schools have been opened during the year—viz., Maraekakaho and Makaretu South. These schools are subsidised by the Board. Two other schools—viz., Weber and Maharahara North—are in course of erection, and will shortly be completed. It has also been arranged to open a subsidised school at Tamumu at the commencement of this year. These additions give an increase of five schools. It has been found necessary to close the school at Port Awanui, the residents being unable to provide proper accommodation, and the Board's regulations only providing for building a new school when the average attendance has reached thirty. Every endeavour has been used to meet this case, and, as the attendance is largely made up of Native and half-caste children, it was thought the Native School Department would have assisted in building a schoolhouse; but the Government has declined to help. This is very much to be regretted, and is one of the many cases of hardship to be met with in outlying and sparselypopulated districts. 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 printed] :—

'The percentage of increase of average attendance for the year is the lowest but one on record since the establishment of the Board, being only 1-8. This result was owing to sickness, and the unprecedented wet weather during the year, joined with the neglect of parents to send their children to school, and the unwillingness of School Committees to enforce the compulsory clauses, even with the assistance placed at their disposal by the Government. Some further provision is evidently necessary in this matter. School Committees.—The relations between the Board and School Committees are most satisfactory. The principle of subsidising funds locally raised by School Committees has worked well, and has enabled the Board to extend its usefulness very considerably. Under this system many of the applications made for assistance in the way of repairs, painting, fencing, &c, have been granted. School Buildings.—lt is a matter of regret that the grant placed at the Board's disposal for this purpose by the Government is so inadequate. The funds available only provide for the most urgent requirements.' I would specially point out that the extension of small settlements increases the difficulty, and if the Government is desirous of carrying out the present Education Act funds ought to be found. It is useless, in the face of the want of funds to provide sufficiently even for schoolroom accommodation, to approach the subject of teachers' residences. This is to a certain extent as much a portion of the system as the erection of schoolhouses. The Board has only been able to appropriate £330 in this direction out of its last distribution of the Building Fund, and this could not have been done if the Board had not voted £1,000 from the School Fund for the purpose of assisting the building grant. Scholaeships.—Twenty-seven fresh scholarships have been awarded for 1893. Out of this number the country schools have obtained nine. This speaks highly of the determination of the smaller schools to share in the recognised benefit which a scholarship confers upon the holder, who receives, as imparted in the high schools, a higher standard of education. Pupil-teacheks.—New regulations for pupil-teachers have been adopted, and thereby a vexed question has been settled. The date of examination has been altered from December to June. This will be a great benefit and convenience both to the Board's staff and to the teachers. It enables the office to divide the various examinations into different periods of the year. In order to comply with the new regulations the usual examination was not held this year, but has been postponed till June. Sewing.—The lady examiners have again kindly given their assistance in marking the sewing specimens, and report most favourably on this valuable branch of education. Their suggestions of last year, which were forwarded to all the schools in the district, have been well attended to, and the most satisfactory results have followed. The Inspector refers to this matter in commendatory terms. There were 1,627 specimens of sewing examined. Income and Expenditure.—The income of the Board from all sources amounts to £25,992 os. Id., to which has to be added the balance from last year of £3,741 17s. 3d. The expenditure shows that the cost of maintenance of schools, allowance to School Committees, and money paid to Building Fund, was £21,827 19s. 10d. The expenditure on buildings was £2,760 Bs., making a total of £24,588 7s. 10d. This leaves a credit balance of £5,145 9s. 6d., but, as the sum of £1,255 2s. 3d. received from the School Commissioners is included in this, the actual credit balance is £3,899 7s. 3d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. D. Obmond, Chairman.

MAELBOROUGH. Bib,— Blenheim, sth April, 1894. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1893. On the Ist January, 1893, the Board consisted of the following persons : The Hon. Colonel Baillie, Messrs. Thomas Carter, John M. Hutcheson, Charles H. Mills, William B. Parker, Edwin Paul, Herbert Seymour, and Arthur P. Seymour, one seat being vacant through the death of Mr. Joseph Ward, as mentioned in my last report. At the first meeting of the Board, held in January, Mr. John Duncan was declared duly elected to fill the extraordinary vacancy caused by the decease of Mr. Joseph Ward. At the March meeting, Messrs. Thomas Carter, John L. Lambert, and Joseph H. Redwood were declared elected to fill the vacancies arising through the retirement by rotation of Messrs. Carter, Paul, and H. Seymour. Mr. Paul died in the month of January, and Mr. H. Seymour declined to offer himself for re-election. Three new members have therefore joined the Board this year—viz., Messrs. Duncan, Eedwood, and Lambert—the last named, however, has served on the Board in past years. Twelve meetings have been held during the year, the average attendance of members being six, and the individual attendances as follows: The Hon. Colonel Baillie, five meetings; Mr. Carter, ten; Mr. Duncan, ten; Mr. Hutcheson, eleven; Mr. Lambert, five; Mr. Mills, six; Mr. Parker, nine; Mr. Eedwood, six; and Mr. Seymour, nine. Schools. —The number of schools established or subsidised at the end of the year has increased from thirty-six to forty-six. There were fifty schools in operation during the year, but four of them were temporarily closed, owing principally to the difficulty of obtaining suitable teachers. A large proportion of these schools are small aided or household schools, and most of them are doing valuable work in places where, but for the aid afforded by the Board, no education could be provided by the parents, who, for the most part, are struggling settlers in the Sounds and other isolated parts. The greatest drawback to the progress of these little schools arises from the difficulty of obtaining the services of moderately competent teachers for the small sums offered as payment for their services. This also frequently compels the closing of a school for a quarter or more before a fresh teacher can be obtained. The Board, taking these and other circumstances into consideration, has adopted a more liberal scale of payments to aided schools, which is calculated to give greater proportionate assistance to the smaller ones. Even with the increased capitation, the salaries received by some of the teachers are still very low, but in nearly all cases the teacher also receives board and lodging free of cost. The Inspector's report speaks very favourably of the work done at some of these small aided schools. Attendance. —The attendance this year has been much affected by the unusual inclemency of the weather, and by the almost universal prevalence of measles during the greater part of the year, and the action of the Government in allowing capitation on the working average for the latter half of the. year is gratefully acknowledged by the Board. The average weekly number of children on the rolls for the last quarter of 1892 was 2,089, and for the same period of last year 2,013. The average daily attendance for the last quarter of the former year was 1,691, and for the corresponding quarter of 1893 it was 1,542. In the former year the average attendance was 81 per cent, of the roll-number, while in 1893 it was only 766 per cent. The (relatively) large falling-off in the average attendance is probably the result of the adverse circumstances already referred to. Buildings.—The greater part of the balance to the credit of the Building Account at the end of 1892 was absorbed in various necessary and unavoidable repairs before the receipt of the fresh grant in July. Several schools built many years ago, and roofed with shingles, have now been covered with iron, and a new building has been erected as an addition to the Springlands School,

75

E.—l

which was much overcrowded, although many children were necessarily refused admission. The difficulty of obtaining a suitable site has so far prevented the Board from carrying out its intention of building a more central school in the Okaramio district. One of the new works to be shortly undertaken is the much-needed infant school at Blenheim, for which plans and specifications have already been prepared and tenders invited. An addition to the Grovetown School is also about to be made. These works will entirely absorb the balance of the Building Fund, and other pressing claims are constantly being received for repairs and improvement of buildings throughout the district. Scholaeships.—For some time past the Board has awarded one scholarship every year of the value of £40 and tenable for two years, but, finding that this did not absorb the amount to which the district is entitled under the regulations, the Board, at the beginning of the year, established another scholarship, to be competed for every second year. Thus for the future there will always be three scholarships current at the same time, which the statutory grant available for the district will just allow. The Board, however, feels most strongly that, looking at the total absence of any provision for secondary education in the district, and the want of any endowments for that purpose, some more liberal provision for scholarships should be devised, to place Marlborough more nearly on an equality with other districts in this respect. Payment of Membees.—ln response to a circular issued by the department to the several Boards in July last, calling for a return of the sums paid as travelling expenses to members during the three preceding years, this Board had the satisfaction of being able to return nil, and had the required return embraced the whole period since the passing of the Act of 1877 the same answer could have been given. I think this is a fact upon which the Board may fairly pride itself, more especially as most of the members have lived at very considerable distances from the place of meeting. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. A. P. Seymoue, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib,— Nelson, 7th March, 1894. I have the honour to lay before you the report of the Nelson Board of Education for the year ending the 31st December, 1893. The members of the Board at the beginning of the year were Messrs. H. A. Tarrant (Chairman), G. Talbot, C. Dencker, W. H. Phillips, jun., W. Lock, E. Hursthouse, A. T. Maginnity, Major Franklyn, and the Hon. Joseph Shephard. At the annual election of three members of the Board, held on the 15th March, Major Franklyn and Mr. A. T. Maginnity, two of the retiring members, were re-elected, Mr. G. B. Sinclair being elected to fill the seat rendered vacant by the resignation of the Hon. Mr. Shephard. Twelve ordinary and two special meetings were held during the year, the average number of members present at each meeting being eight. A hundred and one schools were at work at the close of 1893, the number of scholars on the roll at the end of December being 5,878, with an average daily attendance of 4,456. The teaching staff numbered 166, 55 of whom wore male, and 112 female teachers. Thirty-three probationers (equivalent to pupil-teachers) are included in this enumeration. The pressure put upon probationers who had long completed their stipulated term of service to induce them to apply for teacherships in country schools when vacancies occurred has only partially succeeded in its object. It is true that several of our older probationers have taken teacherships in aided or small country schools, but there still remain too many probationers of five or six years' standing whom, apparently, nothing short of the Board's determining their service at once will induce to go forth into the country. Every year the services of several promising boys and girls who are anxious to avail themselves of the valuable training offered to probationers by the Board are lost from this cause,

E.—l

The number of aided and household schools, the rapid increase and relative high cost of which at one time gave cause for serious apprehension on financial grounds only, has not gone on increasing to any appreciable extent, the number of both kinds of schools being twenty-six at the close of 1893, as against twenty-four in 1892. Owing to the additions to the roll-number of several of these schools it may be reasonably expected that before the expiration of another year they will be converted into district schools, when the nominal scale of expenditure will prevail. The question of promoting or otherwise rewarding teachers of long service and proved ability is one that becomes more and more pressing as the years go by. The proposals to establish a system of pensions for aged or infirm teachers, so long talked about, have not yet gone beyond the region of talk. No system can be conceived of than one in which all hope is dead, and where the dread of dismissal is the chief motive for continued exertion. In all other services the principle of promotion is fully recognised, and id already obtains in several school districts in the North Island, where its effect on the teaching staff has been most beneficial. But the attempt of the Nelson Board to introduce a system of promotion based on long and meritorious service was received with such disfavour by a large proportion of the School Committees and of the general public that to persist in carrying it out would inevitably set up an amount of friction that would have told seriously against the working of the schools. The Board has therefore been reduced to fall back on the only other alternative —that of giving from time to time bonuses to its most deserving teachers, who might find themselves in situations obviously below their merits and capabilities, but from which it seemed hopeless to attempt to emerge. These bonuses are intended to be permanent so far as the present recipients are concerned, but are not necessarily continued to their successors. To the objection that this plan lays the Board open to the charge of favouritism, it is a sufficient answer that the difficulty is not one of the Board's making, and that a body which has the courage of its opinions, and is conscious of none but upright intentions, can afford to disregard all cavils in its endeavour to reward merit that would otherwise receive no recognition. I am, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. H. A. Tabkant, Chairman.

GEET. Sib, — Education Office, Greymouth, 30th April, 1894. In compliance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Grey has the honour to present the following report on its proceedings for the year 1893 : — The Boaed. —Early in the year the constitution of the Board underwent a considerable change, owing to the passing of " The Westland and Grey Education Boards Act, 1892." Under the Act of 1888 the Board consisted of seven members, four of whom were appointed by the Governor and three elected. By the new Act the number of members was increased to nine, all of whom are elected. The election took place on the 14th March, and resulted in the return of Messrs. Kerr, Marshall, Petrie, Smith, Nancarrow, Byrne, and White (the old members), and W. E. Kettle and B. McGuire. At the ordinary meeting, held on the 11th April, Mr. James Marshall was elected Chairman of the Board for the then current year, and Mr. William Eobert Kettle Treasurer. During the year the Board held eleven regular and one special meetings. The following figures represent the attendances made by each member: Mr. Marshall (Chairman), 12; Mr. White, 12; Mr. Smith, 12; Mr. Petrie, 12; Mr. Nancarrow, 12; Mr. Byrne, 12; Mr. McGuire, 9; Mr. Kettle, 8; Mr. Kerr, 7. It is but fair to state that the attendances made by Messrs. McGuire and Kettle

77

B.—l.

represent only nine months in each case, while Mr. Kerr was absent on leave attending the session of Parliament in his capacity as a member of the Legislative Council. Mr. Nancarrow was re-elected as the Board's representative on the Grey High School Board. Inspectob's Bepobt.—The Board regrets that, owing to the protracted illness and subsequent death of their late Inspector, Mr. E. T. Eobinson, it has been found impossible to prepare the usual Inspector's report. The deceased was suffering from bad health whilst he was engaged in conducting the standard examinations in November and December, and before he was able to conclude his task he became so ill that he was obliged to take to his bed, and he intrusted the examination of several of the country schools to three'of the teachers. It was hoped a few weeks' rest would enable him to regain his health, but he grew rapidly weaker, and passed away on the 12th April last. In going through the late Inspector's papers in order to prepare the statistics for 1893 it was found that the schedules with the results of the examinations of the Maori Creek, Marsden, Greenstone, Teremakau, Maori Gully, and Kokiri Schools were missing, and it appears they have been lost; consequently the return under this head is not as complete as it should be. Schools and Attendance.—The last report of the Board showed that at the close of the year 1892 there were in existence twenty-three schools. This number was increased during the year 1893 by the opening, in February, of a new school at Granville, in the Totara Flat School District. There were consequently twenty-four schools in operation at the close of the year to which this report refers. Departmental Beturn No. 3 gives the classification of the schools according to the attendance on 31st December last, with list of teachers in the employ of the Board, the number being seventeen males and forty females, or a total of fifty-seven, as compared with fifty-five at the end of the previous year. Of this number, twenty-one were pupil-teachers— viz., three males and eighteen females. In the matter of attendance, the Board has to report that the roll-number decreased somewhat during the year. This was attributable in a great measure to the exodus of miners, with their families, from Brunnerton consequent upon the partial closing of the mines. The total number of scholars at the end of the year was 1,680, showing a decrease of eighty-six on the return of 1892. The average weekly attendance for the whole year was 1,728, or eighty-one less than for 1892 ; while the average ordinary attendance was 1,413, being forty-five less than before, and representing decreased revenue amounting to £168 15s. per annum. The Board anticipates, however, that there will be satisfactory increase in the attendance during the year 1894. At the request of the Greymouth School Committee the Board reappointed the truant officer, in the interests of the Main School, where the attendance was irregular. Pupil-teachebs.—At the examination held in January eleven pupil-teachers sat for examination —two males and nine females—one for admission to Class 2, four for admission to Class 3, and six for admission to Class 4. Of these, six failed and five passed, the passes being one into Class 2, two into Class 3, and two into Class 4. 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 to a large extent recruited from those who have completed their apprenticeship in the subordinate position, and have acquired by experience and examination the necessary certificate of competency. Scholabships.—The annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held simultaneously with that for pupil-teachers. For the four scholarships—two town and two country—annually open to scholars attending public schools in the Grey Education District there were sixteen competitors—seven from town schools and nine from the country. John McMillan, of the Greymouth School, and John Jamieson, of the Cobden School, won the first and second town scholarships respectively; and Alfred Coumbe, of the Paroa School, and Otto Bishop, of the Dobson School, secured the first and second, country scholarships. The Board's cadetship examination was held in September. There were six candidates —two from town and four from country schools. John Williams, of the Dobson School, was the successful competitor. The Greymouth High School papers were examined by Dr. Anderson, of Christchurch. Fourteen pupils sat—ten males and four females. The results were considered satisfactory. School Committees.—The relations existing between the Board and the School Committees under its control have been generally of a satisfactory character, the latter having shown a disposition to co-operate with the Board in every possible way. No serious difference of opinion as to the relative duties and responsibilities of the Board and its Committees occurred during the year. The Board, while not able to satisfy many of the pressing claims made for assistance, has striven to act in as impartial a manner as possible. Building Opeeations.—The Board has been restricted somewhat in its expenditure on school buildings. With but a comparatively small sum standing to the credit of the Building Account, the Board was not in a position to be over-liberal in its disbursements for building purposes without incurring liabilities which it may not be able to liquidate. At the same time, many of the buildings are sadly in need of repairs, and a considerable sum will have to be expended upon them in the near future; and to provide for this will involve much anxious deliberation unless the Board's annual grant is materially increased. The Board received during the year £1,543 4s. Id., including a credit balance at the beginning of the year of £193 4s. Id., and expended during the same period £1,245 6s. 6d., leaving a credit balance of £297 17s. 7d., which, however, liabilities reduced to £99 7s. 7d. Included in the expenditure was £86 7s. for repairs and additions to the Ahaura School; £117 55., new residence for teacher at Greenstone; £144 165., additions and fencing, Bichardson School; and £110, repairs to Board's offices, &c; Greymouth School, repairs and improvements, £103 15s. 2d.; Kynnersly, painting and repairs, £90145. 3d.; Kokiri School, repairs, £41 155.; Cobden, painting schoolhouse and sundry repairs, £25; teacher's residence, Greymouth, fencing, £16 ; Maori Creek School, repairs, £11 ss. 6d.; Westbrook School, fencing and repairs, £9 4s. 9d.; Notown School, repairs, £11 155.; Paroa School, repairs, £5; Dobson School, repairs, £5 Bs.; teacher's house, Marsden, painting and papering, £4 155.; Totara Flat School, repairs, £22 125.; and Granville, repairs, £11 Is. On the General Account, the Board received during the year £6,089 6s. 4d., including a credit balance of £25 Bs. lOd. at the beginning of the year, and

expended during the same period £6,111 os. 3d., leaving a debit balance of £21 13s. lid. on the 31st December.. The total amount expended on salaries, exclusive of allowances, was £4,538 135., and, including allowances, £4,555 Bs. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. James Marshall, Chairman,

WESTLAND. Sib,— Hokitika, 4th March, 1894. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1893. The Boaed.—ln the early part of the year the members were Messrs. Bevan, Benyon, Chesney, Jack, Eodda, and Shillito. In accordance with the provisions of " The Westland and Grey Education Act, 1892," an election of nine members to form the new Board was held on the 14th March, the result of the Committees' voting being that Messrs. Bevan, Boys, Chesney, Grimmond, Hudson, Jack, Michel, McWhirter, and Staines were elected. Mr. McWhirter was appointed Chairman, Mr. Jack Treasurer, Mr. Bevan representative of the Board on the High School Board of Governors, and Mr. Grimmond School Commissioner. On the 10th October the Board received the resignation of Mr. J. Bevan, and expressed by resolution the regret of the members at his retirement, and their appreciation of his past services to education. The vacancy thus caused was not filled before the close of the year. Mr. Michel was appointed as representative on the High School Board. The Board has held twelve ordinary and eight special meetings. The members have attended the following number of meetings: Mr. Bevan, 9; Mr. Benyon, 3; Mr. Boys, 12 ; Mr. Chesney, 16; Mr. Grimmond, 13; Mr. Hudson, 14; Mr. Jack, 14; Mr. Michel, 13; Mr. McWhirter, 15; Mr. Eodda, 3; Mr. Shillito, 5; Mr. Staines, 12. Schools. —At the end of the year thirty-four schools were open. Of these, three are sideschools, four half-time, and eleven aided. Of the last, seven are household schools. A side-school at Dillman's and aided schools at Jackson's and the Five-mile Beach have been opened during the year, and the aided schools at Arawata and Mapourika have been closed. Attendance.—The total roll-number for the district at the end of the year is 1,633, an increase of nineteen on the previous year. The average attendance for the year is 82-5 per cent, of the average roll-number. Tbacheus. —The number of ordinary teachers under the Board, exclusive of four monitors and one sewing-mistress, is sixty-two. Of these, eighteen are pupil-teachers. Twenty-six of the remaining forty-four are certificated. The uncertificated teachers are mostly under engagement in the household or other aided schools, and a number have partial passes for certificates. In schools of scale A— i.e., having an average of twenty-five or more—there are only two teachers without certificates. At the examination of pupil-teachers held in December there were twelve candidates, all of whom passed except one in the lowest division. Buildings.—The school building at Dillman's was completed early in the year, and before the end of that period it was found necessary to call for tenders to provide an addition to the building. A large number of much-needed improvements to school buildings, residences, and sites were effected during the year. Much in the same direction, however, remains to be done.

79

E.—l

Scholaeships.—The annual examination was held in December, and scholarships of the value of £23, £15 10s., and £13 4s. were awarded, tenable for two years. Of the seven Board's scholars of the year, six have attended the Hokitika District High School. Three pupils of this school, all of whom entered as scholarship-holders, have obtained high positions in the Junior Civil Service list at the recent examination, one being first for the colony. Two of these also passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University. It will thus be seen that the Board's efforts in this direction, though necessarily limited, are producing good results. Finance.—ln the Building Account the receipts (including a balance from the previous year of £655 Is. 6d.) amount to £1,561 Is. 6d., and the expenditure is £608 7s. 6d., leaving a balance at the end of the year of £952 14s. Most of this sum has, however, been allocated to works to be carried out in the early part of the present year. A reference to the Board's balance-sheet shows that in the General Account the debit balance of £105 19s. Bd. at the beginning of the year has increased to £287 95., showing a loss during the year of £181 9s. 4d. A sum of £40 os. 7d., made up of grants properly belonging to the last quarter of the year, and received since, being deducted, a net loss of £141 Bs. 9d. is shown on the year's transactions. A reduction in the scale of payment to teachers and in other directions came into force at the beginning of the last quarter. The saving made during the quarter mentioned is at the rate of £113 10s. per annum. It is therefore evident that it will be necessary for the Board to take further account of its position in order to bring its expenditure within its income. Inspectobship.—During the year the Board received with regret the resignation of Mr. J. Gammell, 8.A., Secretary and Inspector. Mr. A. J. Morton, 8.A., was appointed to the vacant positions, and took office from the Ist July. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. John McWhibteb, Chairman.

NOETH CANTEEBUEY. Sib,— Christchurch, 31st March, 1894. I have the honour to present a report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of North Canterbury for the year ended the 31st December, 1893. The Boaed.—The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March, 1893, were Mr. Peryman, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Meredith, all of whom were re-elected. At a meeting held on the 28th April, Mr. E. G. Wright was elected Chairman for the ensuing year. At the same meeting, Mr. Anson, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Peryman, and Mr. Adams were elected members of the Buildings Committee, and Mr. Saunders, Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Westenra, and Mr. Joyce members of the Appointments Committee. The Board continued to meet every three weeks, except that during the session of the General Assembly—from 6th July to 28th September inclusive—in consequence of the absence of five members who held seats in the Assembly, it was resolved to meet every fortnight, and to perform the work of the Appointments Committee as well as that ordinarily undertaken by the Board. During the year the Board held twenty meetings. The Buildings Committee met twenty times, and the Appointments Committee twenty-five times.

Buildings.—During the year 1893 new schools were built at Greta Valley and Eolleston, and masters' houses at Ealing, Ladbrooke's, New Brighton, and Euapuna. An extensive addition was made to Addington School, and considerable repairs and improvements at Ashley, Carleton, Kyle, Mount Grey Downs, Oxford West, St. Albans, Selwyn, Summerhill, Waikari, and Woodend. The total expenditure on buildings was £4,780 7s. sd. A statement showing the amount spent in each school district is appended. * The Board has still to report itself in need of larger supplies for building purposes. Through want of sufficient funds, it was quite unable to undertake the work before it, and was obliged to defer until another year several of the additions required by schools near Christchurch, mentioned in the last report, as well as new schools, enlargements and repairs needed in country districts. Maintenance. — The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances amounted to £56,291 15s. 9d., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £6,871 14s. 10d., making a total of £63,163 10s. 7d. The strict average attendance was a fraction under 17,305, but, as for the September and December quarters the capitation allowance was calculated upon the working average, the average on which payment was actually made for the year was 17,403. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore £3 4s. BJd., and the total cost of maintaining the schools, including all incidental expenses, was £3 12s. 7d. per head. The following table gives the amount spent in salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878 [not all reprinted]:— v Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. * ear - £ s. a. a b. 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 1892 ... ... ... 54,906 12 4 6,869 410 61,775 17 2 1893 ... ... ... 56,291 15 9 6,871 14 10 63,164 10 7 Table No. 7* gives a return of the amount spent in each school for salaries and incidentals, and a nominal return of the teachers employed, with the salary received by each. The total number of teachers , in the Board's service at the end of 1893 (besides fifty sewing mistresses) was 567. Of these, 212 (146 males and 66 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge; 164 (38 males and 126 females) were assistants; and 191 (57 males and 134 females) were pupilteachers. As compared with the number at the end of 1892, there were eight more certificated teachers and three more pupil-teachers. Attendance. —The number of school districts at the close of 1893 was 160, and the number of separate schools (including the practising department of the Normal School) was 180. Of the latter, those at Godley Head, Gough's Bay, Lowclifi'e, and Porter's Pass were aided schools. The schools were classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, fourteen ; 15 and under 20 pupils, twelve ; 20 and under 25 pupils, twenty-one; 25 and under 50 pupils, fifty-three; 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-six; 75 and under 100 pupils, fifteen; 100 and under 150 pupils, twelve; 150 and under 300 pupils, twelve; 300 and under 500 pupils, nine ; 500 pupils and upwards, five. Returns of the numbers and ages of the children, and of the number receiving instruction in each subject, are appended. The following table gives the number of schools, 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 force [not all reprinted]:— Quarter ended District Aided Total On Average p . 31st December.

The strict average for the first six months was exactly 17,800; but for the following six months it fell to 16,809, which in ordinary circumstances would have involved a loss of income to the Board of £1,858. It was agreed, however, to pay the capitation allowance for these months upon the working instead of upon the strict average, which made a difference for the September quarter of 379, and raised the average for the half-year to 17,005. The actual loss was thus reduced to a little under £1,500. Inspection.—As the number of schools in this district increased year by year, it was found that the work of inspection and examination could no longer be efficiently performed by two Inspectors. The Board therefore decided on employing a third Inspector; and at a meeting held on 20th June, Mr. T. Eitchie, headmaster of the Opawa School, was selected for appointment. Mr. Bitcbie began his duties on the Ist August. With this assistance the Inspectors were able to get through the examinations without arrears, and it is hoped that in future they will have no difficulty in visiting every school for inspection as well as examination in accordance with the regulations. The Inspectors' annual report, with the usual statistical tables showing the result of the examination in every school and the general results throughout the district, is forwarded herewith. It is satisfactory to find that the returns give evidence of progressive improvements, both in a diminishing average of failures, and in a steady increase of the proportion of children presented in the higher standards, with a corresponding decrease of the number in the preparatory classes. For any observations on the general condition of the schools, the two senior Inspectors refer to their recentlyappoinijd colleague, whose opinion, they rightly suggest, will be specially valuable. Mr. Eitchie'a report is very gratifying. After five months spent in the examination of schools of all descriptions in various parts of the district, he is able to state with confidence that his previous good impression of the North Canterbury schools is fully confirmed, and that the results they are achieving are such as should be quite satisfactory to all who are interested in primary-school education,

Noemal School.—The number of students admitted to the Normal School in January, 1893, was forty-one—namely, sixteen males and twenty-five females. Five of the latter were second-year students. These, with some others who had matriculated previous to entrance, pursued their studies at Canterbury College. Of the rest, twenty entered for the matriculation examination, which all but one succeeded in passing with credit, while all but two have since passed completely, or in all but one subject, the examination for the D certificate. The practising school has been doing good work. The effects of the measles epidemic were unfortunately beginning to be felt at the time of the Inspectors' examination, especially in the infant departments; nevertheless, the school on the whole came out well, and took a high position among the largest schools of the district. ScHOLABSHiPS.—The new regulations adopted towards the end of 1892 have now been in operation for a full twelvemonth, and appear to have succeeded in bringing about the more even distribution of scholarships among the pupils of town and country schools which the Board desired to effect. The number of candidates examined for junior scholarships in December, 1893, was 133, of whom ninety-two came from schools defined in the regulations as town schools, and forty-one from schools defined as country schools. The ninety-two town candidates gained seven scholarships, and the forty-one country candidates gained five; while of the five successful competitors from country schools, two had entered under the regulation which gives country children the advantage of a year in age, and would not have been admissible under the former regulations. The annual examination for scholarships was held on the 19th December, 1893, and following days. The number of candidates examined for the junior scholarships was 133 (80 boys and 53 girls); for the senior scholarships the number was 13 (12 boys and 1 girl). Scholarships were awarded to eight boys and four girls in the Junior Class, and five boys in the Senior. The scholarships current at the end of 1893 were held as shown in the following table [not reprinted]. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Edwaed G. Weight, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTEEBUEY. Sib, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1894. In accordance with the provisions of "The Education Act, 1877," I beg to submit the report of the Education Board for the District of South Canterbury for the year ending with the 31st December, 1893. Boabd.—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. S. W. Goldsmith (Chairman), Melville Grey, George Hampton Ehodes, William B. Howell, John Jackson, William Storey, John Talbot, Eobert Henry Pearpoint, and the Eev. Joseph White. The three members retiring by rotation in March were the Eev. Joseph White, Messrs. W. B. Howell, and William Storey. Seven candidates were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies—the Eev. J. White, Messrs. W. B. Howell, W. Storey, Daniel L. Inwood, William Balfour, Walter M. Moore, and G. H. Graham —and the voting resulted in the election of the Eev. Joseph White, Mr. William Barker Howell, and Mr. George Henry Graham. One extraordinary vacancy occurred, through the resignation of Mr. George Hampton Ehodes. Three candidates were nominated for this seat on the Board, viz.: The Eev. George Barclay, Mr. Francis Henry Barker,

and Mr. Charlton Simon Fraser. The Eev. George Barclay was elected at the first meeting of the Board, in January of this year, to fill this vacancy. Twelve meetings of the Board were held during the year, the day of meeting being the first Thursday in each month, the average attendance for the year being 8-7. At the meeting in April, Mr. S. W. Goldsmith was re-elected to the office of Chairman. The officers of the Board were the same as at the end of last year. Schools. —At the end of the year there were sixty full-time schools in operation. One new school was opened during the year—Hamilton; and two schools closed—Otaio and Waterfalls. There is a request at present before the Board to reopen the Otaio School. A new school is about to be opened at Hakateramea Station, where a building has been erected by Mr. D. Macfarlane at his own expense, and a teacher has been advertised for by the Board. The classification of these sixty schools is as follows: Under 25 pupils, fourteen; 25 and under 50 pupils, twenty-seven; 50 and under 100 pupils, twelve ; 100 and under 300 pupils, five ; 300 and under 500 pupils, one; above 500 pupils, one. Number of aided schools, fourteen. There are twenty-nine Maori or half-caste scholars attending at four schools, viz.: Glenavy, Waimate, Waihao, and Temuka. Attendance. —From the accompanying return it will be seen that there is a steady increase in the number of scholars attending the Board's schools, although the severe epidemic of measles last year had a most depressing influence on the averages for two quarters. The average roll-number for the year was 5,150, against 5,014 in the previous year. [Table only partially reprinted.]

Finance. —The balance-sheet has been certified by the Auditor-General, and has been forwarded. The Building Account shows a balance at the end of the year of £185 17s. sd. in credit; and the building estimate of what would have to be undertaken before the next building grant could be received amounts to £1,182 2s. 7d. The Maintenance Account for the same period shows a balance credit of £1,273 Is. 7d. During the past year the Board revised its scale of incidentals, augmenting the allowance paid to aided schools and to schools with an attendance averaging above 300 in attendance. Buildings.—During the year the Ashwick Hat School has been completed, and the site fenced; additions have been made to the master's house at Geraldine ; the master's house at St. Andrew's has been repaired; the Seadown School has been enlarged, at a cost of £168; the Bedcliffe School has been removed and re-erected on a new site; the damage done at Pareora and Burkes Pass by the great gale of last year has been restored, at a cost of £171; the Scotsburn teacher's residence has been rebuilt after the fire, the Government giving what was required beyond the insurance—viz., £105 —for this purpose; the roof of the Scotsburn School has been covered with iron, with other repairs there; the Silverstream School has been enlarged and painted; the residence there has been painted; a partition has been erected in one of the class rooms in the Timaru Main School; the Janitor's house has been repaired; the corridors at the Main School have been repaired; sundry repairs have been executed at the Side School; the master's house at Fairlie Creek has been repaired and painted, the school and fences repaired; considerable repairs have been carried out to the buildings at Pleasant Valley; the fencing at Woodbury, damaged by the great gale, has been restored ; the verandah at Waitohi Flat has been repaired, a new porch built, and a tank with stand supplied. The Hannaton School site has been purchased, the school built, furnished, and opened. The Waimataitai School has been drained, distempered, and improved; besides a number of small grants in aid to Washdyke, Milford, Kingsdown, Upper Waitohi Flat, Eangitata Station, Hazelburn, Eangitata South, Pleasant Point, Makikihi, Hunter's, Wai-iti, Temuka, &c, besides new maps, wall-pictures, furniture, and material supplied to a large number of schools. The Board has again this year approached Government with a protest against the inadequacy of the building grant. Owing to the lack of funds to substantially make good, or build adequately, when applications for repairs or new buildings are made, the Board is conscious that a good deal of

money is virtually thrown away, as it is only able to expend sixpence where a shilling should have been laid out —in putting putty where new material should be used. The Board has to thank the many School Committees throughout the district for the aid they have granted in the way of subsidies to help the Board in trying to keep things generally in effective repair, and for the attention they have all paid to the interests of education and the welfare of their districts; and the Board can congratulate itself on the harmony which has existed between School Committees, the teachers, and the Board. PuPiL-TEACHEES. —The annual examinations of pupil-teachers was held in June, when forty pupil-teachers and ten candidates for employment presented themselves. Two pupil-teachers were absent, as they were suffering from measles. Of the forty pupil-teachers presenting themselves, four failed—one in the third year, one in the second year, and two in the first year. Of the ten candidates, five failed. Distbict High Schools.—A special report on the secondary work of the District High Schools was submitted to the Board by the Inspector, and ordered to be printed. Prom this report it appears that twenty-two scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and ten at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algebra. The Waimate High School Board of Governors continues its grant of £75 per annum towards teaching the secondary subjects in the Waimate District High Schoo 1 .

OTAGO. Sib, — Education Office, Dunedin, 15th March, 1894. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1887," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1893 : — Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members: Dr. Hislop, Dr. Stenhouse, Messrs. James Green, Donald Borrie, Michael Fraer, John Macgregor, Henry Clark, Andrew McKerrow, and John J. Eamsay. The members who retired by rotation on the 31st March were Dr. Hislop, Dr. Stenhouse, and Mr. James Green. Six candidates were nominated for the vacancies, and the voting by Committees resulted in the re-election of Mr. Green and Dr. Stenhouse, and the election of Mr. Thomas Mackenzie. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Mr. Borrie was elected Chairman. The Board held twenty-four meetings during the year. Messrs. Henry Clark and Michael Fraer were appointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Borrie was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr. James Green was reappointed to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Beserves. Numbeb of Schools..—The last report of the Board showed that on the 31st December, 1892, there were 197 schools in operation in the district. Schools were opened during the year at Houipapa, Catlin's, Galloway, Upper Junction, and Owaka Valley. In the month of February the Government Native school at Eeomoana was taken over by the Board, and is now conducted as an ordinary public school. The school in connection with the Benevolent Institution has been closed. There were therefore 202 schools in operation in the district on the 31st December last, being an increase for the year of five schools. The establishment of a school at Wyllie Crossing has been sanctioned, and buildings are now in course of erection,

From the foregoing it will be seen that E 4 is the lowest grade of certificate held by any teacher in the service, and, further, that, with the exception of four teachers who have not yet received Inspectors' marks, there is now only one teacher who does not hold a full certificate of competency. School Attendance.—The following is an abstract of the attendance at the public schools of this district from the institution of the Otago education scheme, in the year 1856, to the present time. At the beginning of 1878 the new Education District of Southland was created, and thirty-seven schools were handed over to the newly-formed Board [table not all reprinted]:—

The above table shows a decrease of 598 on the average attendance of the previous year, and of 1,523 in the number that attended at all during the year. A severe outbreak of measles, amounting to an epidemic, reduced the average attendance for the June quarter to 1,045 less than that for the previous quarter. The attendance for the September quarter was, by the same cause, still further reduced by 645. Although the attendance was so much under that of the previous year, the number of teachers employed was practically the same. The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools in the district is shown as follows : Maoris —9 males, 7 females; half-castes living as members of a Native tribe—l 3 males, 9 females; half-castes living among Europeans—l 9 males, 22 females : totals, 41 males, 38 females. Number of schools in which there were Maori or half-caste scholars, 9. Soholaeships.—Twenty-four scholarships —twelve junior and twelve senior—were awarded at the December examination. One hundred and three candidates entered for the junior and fortynine for the senior examination. Thirty-five junior and twenty-four senior competitors—a number exceeding that of any previous year—gained free education at the Dunedin High Schools, a privilege which the Board of Governors still most generously extends to all who obtain half-marks or more at these examinations. All the senior competitors who had previously held junior scholarships occupied creditable positions in the senior list, and eight of them were successful in gaining senior scholarships. At the examination for junior scholarships in connection with the University of New Zealand, held in December, three of the Board's scholarship holders were successful in winning scholarships, while seven others passed the examination with credit. The operation of the scholarship scheme has for some years received from the Board the most careful consideration, and the amended scholarship regulations, which came into force during the year, appear to give to the pupils of the smaller schools a fair opportunity of holding their own in competition with those of the larger schools, who doubtless enjoy many advantages that are wanting to the former. The scheme seems to be fully accomplishing its purpose by affording to the brighter pupils of the public schools a more extended opportunity of gaining such an advanced education as the High Schools and University Colleges of the colony furnish. The holders of scholarships continue to acquit themselves with credit, and during the year the quarterly reports on their conduct and progress were satisfactory, except in the case of one boy, who, after due warning, was deprived of his scholarship. The amount expended on scholarships was—Paid to holders, £1,281 6s. Bd.; examination expenses, £45 19s. 9d. : total, £1,327 6s. sd. PupiL-TEACHEBS.—At the end of the year there were 103 pupil-teachers in the service of the Board. The annual examinations were held as usual in the month of December. The following

The number of girls who apply is out of all proportion to the number of openings for their services. Several of the recently-appointed pupil-teachers have passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University, while a few have passed the examination for a teacher's certificate. Two pupil-teachers were removed on account of twice failing to pass the prescribed examinations. Finance.—A general statement of the receipts and expenditure for the year, certified by the Auditor-General, is hereunto appended. Sum expended in teachers' salaries (including bonuses on classification and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers), £60,979 os. 6d.; sum paid to School Committees for incidental expenses, £4,499 Is. 6d.; sum expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of schools, and purchase of sites, £4,854 7s. Id. A detailed statement of these payments appears in Appendix A,* which also gives the names of the teachers employed, and the annual salary of each at the rate paid during the December quarter. Inspection.—The annual report of the Board's Inspectors is forwarded herewith. All the schools that were open throughout the year were examined, with the exception of two that were closed during the last month of the last quarter owing to the prevalence of measles, and nearly all were inspected. The following is an abstract of the work done by the Inspectors during the year:—

Of the pupils examined, 84 per cent, passed the standards for which they were presented. The percentage of failures for the whole of che district was 14. The epidemic of measles, which broke out about the middle of the year, and visited nearly all the schools of the district, has had only a very slight influence on the examination results, which fall little below those attained last year. The average percentage of marks for class-subjects is 54, and the mean of the additional marks 70. The examination reports show a very great increase in the number of pupils absent from examination, the total of absentees being nearly double what it was last year. This increase is evidently due to the prevalence of sickness about the time when the examinations were held, and it is not at all likely that it will be maintained in coming years. The average ages at which Standards 111. and IV. were passed remain the same as those for last year, but Standard I. has, on the average, been passed one month earlier, and Standards 11., V., and VI. respectively three, two, and three months later. The number of pupils over eight years of age not presented for Standard I. was 1,514, about a hundred more than the preceding year's total. In the majority of cases, what appeared to be satisfactory reasons were assigned for their being withheld from examination in Standard I. Lateness in entering school is one of the reasons most frequently given, but there is no means of ascertaining whether attendance at other schools has been overlooked. Dulness and excuses of like import are also reasons commonly assigned. Tkaining College.—The report of the Eector of the Training College is appended. The attendance of students during the year was, — Students in the course of 1893— m. P. Total. Left during 1893— M. IP. Total. Eemaining from 1892 ... 35 37 72 Teaching in public schools 13 15 28 Admitted during 1893 ... 9 25 34 Awaiting appointment (some Left during 1893 ... 22 24 46 engaged private teaching) 27 9 On books, December, 1893... 22 38 60 On leave at University ... 7 2 9 The cost of the institution for the year was—Salaries, £1,057 10s.; allowances to students, £1,069 3s. 4d.; incidentals, £15 10s. 5d.: total, £2,142 3s. 9d. Truancy.—The Board observes with satisfaction that the Government last session introduced a Bill to transfer to Boards the entire responsibility of enforcing the compulsory clauses of the Education Act, but it regrets exceedingly that the state of business did not allow the measure to be considered by the House. It is to be hoped that an effort to reintroduce the Bill will be made at an early period of the ensuing session, as the proposed change is proved by the Board's experience to be a much-needed one. The Board ventures to suggest to the Minister that while dealing with the question of truancy he should ask Parliament to invest the Boards with power to effectively enforce the compulsory clauses, which in the present state of the law cannot be done. Experience in Dunedin, as in all large centres, shows that the non-attendance at school of large numbers of children of statutory school-age, and their employment in factories, &c, are almost entirely due to

* See ante, pp. 47-54. t Thirty-four of the schools in this column are reckoned twice over, as two Inspectors worked together in examining them.

the defective state of the law. Boards should be armed with authority to ascertain conclusively the total number of children of statutory ago in the education district; the onus of proof of age and of the fulfilment of the minimum attendance should be placed on the parents and guardians of children and not on School Committees ; and power should be given to Boards to compel the managers or teachers of private schools to furnish quarterly accurate returns of enrolment and attendance. As the result of careful consideration of this question, and close study of the work of its truant officer, the Board feels satisfied that the adoption of remedial measures on the lines here indicated will be attended with most beneficial results. The following statement shows the nature and extent of the truant officer's duties during the year : Cases investigated, 229 ; notices served on parents or guardians under section 91 of Education Act, 189; summonses served on parents or guardians under section 92 of Education Act, 109 : in these 109 summoned cases, seventy-seven orders of the Court were obtained, thirty cases were withdrawn (because the children were either found to be over the age or had obtained certificates of exemption), and two cases were dismissed. Penalty summonses issued under section 93 of Education Act (dealing with parents or guardians who had disobeyed the order of the Court), 13 : under the above thirteen penalty summonses, a fine of ss. and costs (17s. 6d.) was inflicted in three cases, five cases were withdrawn, three were dismissed, and two have been adjourned. Drawing Depaetment.—The report of the headmaster of the Drawing Department is appended. The classes were attended during the year by 342 students—viz., 81 teachers and pupilteachers, 47 students in training, 103 pupils in the afternoon classes, and 111 artisans and other pupils in the evening. The cost of the department for the year was—'Salaries, £545; incidental expenses, £25 Is. lid.—£s7o Is. lid.; amount received for fees, £197 15s. 6d. : net cost, £372 6s. sd. The school has now been affiliated to the South Kensington Science and Art Department, whose examinations for diplomas will be held annually in Dunedin and other centres throughout the colony, under the supervision of the Education Department, Wellington. The Board's Secretary has been appointed to act as local correspondent. The course of study pursued will in the future, as it has done almost from the institution of the school, form a suitable preparation for success in the Science and Art Department's certificate examinations, and it is hoped that many of the students will avail themselves of the facilities now afforded for obtaining these valuable diplomas. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. P. G. Peydb, Secretary.

REPORT OF THE ART MASTER. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the School of Art for the year 1893. The school was open every day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 5.45 p.m. to 9 p.m. The classes were open to the general public, whether in the pursuit of art as a profession or as amateurs. Classes for teachers, pupil-teachers, students in training, and mining engineers were carried on, as were also evening classes for artisans. The total number of students who received instruction during the year was 342, showing a decrease of 62 since last year. This total includes 81 teachers and pupil - teachers, 47 students in training, 103 students who attended the day classes, and 111 students who attended the evening classes.

At the December examination the total number of pupil-teachers examined in second grade was ninety-six, of whom eighty-five were successful: twenty-nine passed in freehand drawing, sixteen in model drawing, eighteen in practical, plane, and solid geometry, and twenty-two in perspective. Forty-three students attended the Training College, having passed satisfactory examinations ; nine received first-class, twenty second-class, and fourteen third-class certificates of competency to give elementary instruction in drawing. The examination passed by the second-year and first-year students from the School of Mines was satisfactory, five students having obtained first class, and four second class, a detailed list of which was forwarded to Professor Ulrich, Director of the School of Mines. The usual course of instruction in landscape-painting direct from nature was attended by all the advanced students, who took great interest in their studies, and who did not fail to appreciate the utility of sketching direct from nature. Thirteen excursions were made to different localities, with very good results. The progress of the students attending the "life class" during the year has been such as to prove that they do not lack ability or application. Amongst the student of this class are some of very good promise, and whose studies show a decided advance over any previous year. The evening classes were carried on as usual. Two evenings each week were devoted to artistic and two to mechanical studies. The progress of the different classes was most satisfactory. The same desire which I have previously spoken of as characterizing the students to profit to the utmost by the opportunities here afforded them still manifests itself. The annual exhibition of the students' works attracted a large number of visitors during the three days on which it was open, and was highly spoken of by the Press. There is a large decrease in the number of students attending the evening classes, while the number attending the other classes remains practically the same. This I cannot understand, considering how important a knowledge of linear drawing, solid geometry, machine and building construction is to the artisan. It seems to me remarkable that in a city the size of Dunedin, where a large number of artisans are employed in machine and other factories, a greater number do not avail, themselves of these classes. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. David C. Hutton, Art Master.

The following list shows the occupations of the students who attended the evening classes: Architect, 1; baker, 1; blacksmiths, 2; builder, 1; brassfinishers, 4 ; carpenters, 9; cabinetmakers, 5 ; clerks, 5 ; clothier, 1; coachbuilders, 4; coachpainters, 2 ; coal-merchant, 1; coffeegrinder, 1; decorators, 2 ; draper, 1; dressmakers, 4 ; engineers, 8 ; engravers, 3; framemaker, 1; grocer, 1; ironmongers, 4; lithographers, 3 ; moulders, 2; patternmaker, 1; photographic artist, 1; painters, 8 ; printer, 1; retouchers, 6 ; shop-assistants, 2 ; signwriters, 2; students, 9 ; solicitor, 1; tailoress, 1; teachers, 3 ; wireworkers, 2 ; no occupation or home duties, 8: total, 111.

KEPORT OF BEGTOK OP TRAINING COLLEGE. Sir,— I have the honour to submit my report on the Training College for the year 1893. The following was the attendance : First-year students—9 males, 25 females; second-year students —9 males, 14 females; third-year students—2 males, 1 female; fourth-year students— • 2 males : total, 22 males, 40 females. No change was made in the teaching staff' diiring the year. The following are the results of examinations affecting the students' classification as teachers : Thirteen students kept terms at the Otago University ; three passed the B.A. degree examination and qualified for B certificate; three passed the first section of the B.A. degree, and qualified for C certificate ; four passed the matriculation examination. At the certificate examination held in January, two students passed for C certificate, University status being taken into account; twenty passed the D examination, and five made a partial pass —the latter have to pass in one subject to complete their examination for D certificate; eight passed the E examination, and three failed. One student was prevented by serious illness from attending the examination. The first prize in experimental elementary science in connection with the D examination was awarded to John Bowie, and in ten instances special mention for good work was made by the examiners for D and E certificates. The usual course of practice in teaching in the associated schools has been followed, and I have to thank the headmasters and assistant teachers for the valuable help given us in this important department of our work. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. W. S. Fitzgerald, Eector.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 16th March, 1894. As required by section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit the following report of the proceedings of the Board of the Education District of Southland for the year ended 31st December, 1893 : — The Board. —During the year the constitution of the Board has undergone no change. For the vacancies on the Board caused by the retirement of Messrs. James W. Bain, Alfred Baldey, and George McLeod four nominations were received. The result of the voting was the re-election of the three gentlemen mentioned. At the April meeting of the Board Mr. George Froggatt was unanimously elected Chairman for the ensuing year. The Board during the year held one special and twelve ordinary meetings; while the executive committee, by which the greater portion of the ordinary business of the Board is first dealt with, met twenty-three times. The attendance of members has been extremely satisfactory, as will be seen by the following figures, which indicate

£.—l.

the number of times on which each member was present at meetings of the Board and the executive committee respectively: The Board—Messrs. Bain, Baldey, Froggatt, McLeod, and Mac Gibbon registered the maximum; while Messrs. Matheson, McNab. and Lumsden attended twelve meetings respectively; and Mr. Mackintosh, M.H.E., who was necessarily absent during the parliamentary session, attended eight meetings. The executive committee—Mr. Lumsden, 22; Mr. Froggatt, 21; Mr. Matheson, 18; Messrs. Bain, McLeod, and Mac Gibbon, 17 each; Messrs. Baldey and McNab, 15 each ; and Mr. Mackintosh, 8. Mr. Eobert McNab, M.A., LL.B. (re-elected) and Mr. James W. Bain were appointed as the Board's representatives on the Board of Governors of the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools, the latter taking the place of Mr. D. L. Matheson, who did not seek re-election, and who for the preceding twelve years had represented the Board on this Trust. In connection with Mr. Matheson's retirement, the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Board : " That the Board place on record its appreciation of Mr. Matheson's services as its representative on the Board of Governors of the Southland High School for the past twelve years, and its regret that he now finds it necessary to retire from a position which he has so honourably filled since his first appointment." At the March meeting of the Board Mr. J. W. Bain was unanimously elected to represent the Board for the ensuing period of three years as a Commissioner of the Otago and Southland Education Eeserves, in place of Mr. Thomas Denniston, who for the previous four years and a half had discharged the duties appertaining to this office with zeal and fidelity, and to whom the sincere thanks of the Board were conveyed by special resolution. Schools. —The Board's last report showed that there were 120 schools in existence at the close of the year 1892. During the year to which this report more particularly refers new schools were opened in the districts of Seaward, Moss, Niagara Falls (Waikawa), Feldwick, Greenvale, and Chatton Eoad; the school at Eedan, closed for some years owing to sparseness of population, was reopened, while the school at Miller's Flat was closed in consequence of the very meagre attendance. The changes hero noted increase the total number of schools under the Board's jurisdiction at the close of the year 1893 to 125. This increase approximates the average for the previous eight years, and tends to prove that, as foreshadowed in previous reports, there is no abatement in the steady progress of settlement in this education district. Of the number of schools now in operation, eight are worked on the half-time principle, and fifteen are aided or subsidised schools, the average attendance at which does not usually reach twenty. The districts benefited by the establishment of these weak schools have, in many instances, assisted the Board with great heartiness in securing for themselves the educational privileges they now enjoy. In some cases, where doubt as to the permanency of the settlement existed, or for other valid reasons, buildings for temporary use as a school have been provided, either altogether or partly at the expense of the petitioners; in other instances, the materials necessary for the erection of a building have been carted from the nearest railway-station or sawmill free of cost to the Board. The Board therefore bears willing testimony to the zeal and earnestness displayed by residents in the less accessible parts of the district, when " school or no school" is the question at issue. But for the help thus afforded, some localities, now blessed with educational privileges, would probably have had, for a time at least, their reasonable claims set aside. School Attendance.—Eeferring now to the matter of attendance, the Board has to report that the roll-number, as on the 31st December last, stood at 9,280, with a mean average for the four quarters of the year of 7,117. These figures, as compared with the previous year, show an increase in the roll-number of 281 pupils, but a decrease in the average attendance of 108. This unsatisfactory feature is sufficiently accounted for by the abnormal amount of sickness prevalent throughout the district during the greater part of the year. The measles and influenza epidemics held undisputed sway for many months, and affected the attendance to a very serious extent. For the second quarter the average fell nearly 500 below the mean for the whole year. As a natural sequence from the figures given above, the percentage of average attendance to roll-number has fallen from 80 - 5 to 767, which is slightly lower than the mean for the past seven years. If the difference as here indicated be taken as a basis of a calculation of the loss to this Board and its teaching staff from the epidemic visitation, it represents a monetary value of at least £1,000. For the purposes of this report the strict average has been used throughout. In connection with the matter of attendance, the Board desires to recognise with gratitude the efforts of the Education Department to minimise the evils of a low average by basing its capitation payments for the past three quarters on the working average, though, in its application, the adoption of this course has only minimised, but not by any means removed, the grievance under which Board and teachers have suffered financially from causes over which they have no control. The Board expresses a sincere hope that this welcome return to a former practice of payments will be permanently adhered to, and that all future capitation grants will be made on the workingaverage basis. The following tabular statement will be found instructive as indicating the regular increase of schools and pupils in this district during the past nine years [table not all reprinted]:—

B.—l

The falling-off in the average attendance for the past year has already been referred to and explained. Teachees.—The Board's teaching staff at the end of the year consisted of an equal number of males and females — viz., 110 of each, such being an increase of nine over that employed by the Board at a corresponding period of the preceding year. According to the positions occupied, these are classified as follows : Principals—l 4 males; heads of departments—l 4 females; heads of schools —33 males, 2 females ; sole teachers—43 males, 29 females; assistants—lo males, 14 females; pupil-teachers—lo males, 51 females : totals, 110 males, 110 females. As noted in previous reports, the proportion of uncertificated teachers in the service of the Board is year by year decreasing, the only members of the staff now to be placed in this category being those who in past years entered the service when, for small appointments, fully classified teachers were not obtainable. For such, promotion in the service is a meaningless term, a sufficiency of certificated candidates being now always available. From a comparison of the foregoing table with those of a similar nature given in previous reports it will bo seen that the number of female teachers as compared with males is still on the increase. This circumstance is brought about chiefly by the appointment of females to the charge of small schools in country districts, these being drawn principally from the ranks of the pupil-teacher staff who have completed their apprenticeship, and who are employed under this Board in the ratio of five to one. Pupil-teachek Staff.—The usual annual examination of pupil-teachers in the service of the Board was held on the 27th June last and following days, when forty-six candidates presented themselves, two being absent on account of sickness. These latter were subsequently subjected to a special examination, in which both secured a pass. Of the total who thus presented themselves, the classification and results of the examination are shown in the following table: — Presented. Passed. Failed. Total. Class 1 10 8 2 10 -'•■„•• 11. ... ... ... ... 10 10 0 10 „ 111. ... ... ... ... 9 9 0 9 „ IV. ... ... ... ... 19 16 3 19 Totals ... ... 48 43 5 48 With respect to the work presented by the candidates, the Inspectors report that, taken altogether, it may be regarded as satisfactory, and as evidencing much industry on the part of the pupil-teachers themselves, and, on the whole, careful and methodical training on the part of those teachers on whom this important duty devolves. The work of the girls, in contradistinction to that presented by the boys, is characterized as " neat and tidy." For the extra work involved in the training of the pupil-teacher staff, and in supervision of their studies, a sum of £361 14s. 7d. was paid to the head teachers of the various districts for the year ended the 30th June last. Of the female pupil-teachers in the Board's service, twenty-two are employed in country schools in which the average attendance is between 45 and 75, and where no other assistance is given to the head teacher; and to these an allowance equal to £5 per annum, in addition to their ordinary salaries, is paid for imparting instruction in sewing. A sum of £97 18s. 4d. was so paid by the Board during the year just closed. Notwithstanding the fact that boys are paid at a considerably higher rate tha,n girls, the latter enter the service as pupil-teachers in the proportion of five to one. At present there are in this district ten boys and fifty-one girls so employed. ScHOBABSHiPS. —At the close of the scholarship year (30th June last) there were on the books of the Board the names of ten holders of scholarships gained in previous years. The annual examination was held simultaneously with that for pupil-teachers, when forty-six competitors presented themselves; six others were prevented from competing chiefly owing to sickness. The record of last year's numbers—the largest for this district—is thus more than maintained. As a result of the annual test, five scholarships, each tenable for three years, were allotted, as follows : Two, of the value of £20 each, to Eobert M. Erskine (South) and Alexander Lindsay (Park); three, of the value of £35 each, to Agnes Dickie (Mataura), Ernest Nichol (Bluff), and Herbert Lewis (Gore), respectively, the higher value of the last-mentioned prizes being due to the fact that the recipients are under the obligation of residing away from their parents' homes whilst fulfilling the condition of attendance at the Southland High Schools. Three additional scholarships, tenable for one year only, one of the value of £20 and two of £35 each, were also awarded to those next in order of merit. The percentage of possible marks gained by the successful competitors ranged from 63 to 82-7, the position of eminence being secured by Agnes Dickie, of Mataura. There were thus eighteen young people in receipt of regular payments from the Board's scholarship funds at the end of the year to which this report refers, the total sum paid on account thereof during the year being £524 14s. 2d. Sites and Glebes. —Were it not for the prudence and wisdom manifested by the local bodies which have the management and control of the educational endowments and waste lands of the Crown in this district, the matter of securing suitable school sites and glebes would prove a source of considerable trouble and expense to the Board. To secure by purchase a site of, say, sto 10 acres, with the unavoidable charges for survey, transfer, &c, is by no means an easy matter. The vesting of a similar site in the Board by virtue of a resolution of the local administration is altogether free of any charges whatever, and the title is as secure as that provided by ordinary transfer. In effecting the first survey of Crown lands provision is usually made for the reservation of suitable areas, at convenient distances apart, for school purposes. This Board's heartiest

acknowledgments are duo to the Southland Waste Lands Board and the School Commissioners of Otago for their ready compliance with the somewhat numerous requests made during the past eight or ten years for such concessions. School Committees. —During the year the duties devolving on various School Committees throughout this district have been cheerfully and willingly attended to. As a rule the local Committee is found to be a most useful institution. With an intimate knowledge of the circumstances of their respective schools, they are in a position to render valuable aid to the Board in its efforts to manage and control the educational interests of its extensive district. The subsidy system of payment towards the cost of extra works, such as the erection of shelter-sheds, fencing, and improvement to glebes, has been continued with beneficial results. The fact that a portion of the expenditure on such objects has to be raised locally is, in the opinion of the Board, a sufficient guarantee that the works applied for are not only desirable in the interests of the school, but also that the total sum raised will be judiciously expended. Building Opebations : Income and Expenditure.—At the commencement of the year the Building Fund was in credit to the extent of £1,249 9s. 6d. This sum was augmented by the following payments : From Government, a sum of £2,875, as this Board's proportion of parliamentary grant for buildings ; from Government, grants towards cost of buildings destroyed by fire, £223 ; subscriptions and donations, £301 11s. 2d. : thus making a total of funds in hand for building purposes of £4,649 os. Bd. The expenditure for the year was made up as follows: New buildings, £2,613 14s. Bd. ; improvements, £704 18s. Bd.; furniture and appliances, £53 6s. 10d. ; sites, £25 15s. 3d.; plans and inspection, £226 Is. od. ; tenders, £30 6s. 6d. : making a total of £3,654 2s. lid. The above statement shows an expenditure of £254 11s. 9d. in excess of income, and this could not be borne but for the assistance afforded by the Board's credit balance to Maintenance Account. The most rigid economy in the matter of building expenditure is practised by the Board. The buildings erected are specially designed with a view to promote the material comfort and convenience of teachers and pupils, and the outlay in this connection is restricted to the actual requirements, so far as they can be ascertained, of the various school districts. In addition to works of a general character effected throughout the district, the following of greater importance have been successfully carried out. Schools have been erected in the newly-constituted districts of Eastern Bush, Feldwick, and Greenvale; also a new school in the Pine Bush district, where, by courtesy of the trustees, the work of education has, for the past fourteen years, been carried on in the building erected and used for public worship. Residences for the use of the teachers have been provided in the districts of Maudeville, Wendon Valley, Oreti Plains, Oteramika Gorge, Flint's Bush, Pine Bush, and Seaward Downs; these works, in each instance, were indispensable to the efficient carrying-on of the schools, the matter of securing suitable lodgings being a serious inconvenience to the teachers. By reason of the increased attendance, additions to the schools at Invercargill South, Wyndham, Wairio, Waikaka, Otatara Bush, Nightcaps, Arrow, Lumsden, Winton, and Invercargill Middle were found to be absolutely necessary, and these works were undertaken during the year, while additions were made to the teachers' residences in the Limelnlls and Longridge Village districts respectively. To replace the buildings unfortunately destroyed by fire, new residences were built at Eoslyn Bush and Mimihau. These works involved the Board in considerable extra cost, in consequence of the difference in the value of the buildings destroyed as compared with the new structures. The Board desires to record its hearty appreciation of the action of the Government in providing for an increased grant during the past year for building purposes. The extra amount received, as compared with preceding years, has made it possible to overtake some very urgent and absolutely necessary works, some of which have been delayed in execution for want of funds. The Board trusts that the Government will grant increasingly liberal supplies in future years, until such a sum be allocated as will render it entirely unnecessary for Boards to levy on the Maintenance Account for any part of the building expenditure. Financial. —The Board is pleased to be able to report that for the year just closed the results of its operations, from a financial point of view, have been satisfactory. The audited statement of the Board's income and expenditure has already been forwarded. From this document the aggregate amounts received and paid in connection with the various accounts will be seen. The principal sources of income have been as follows: Capitation grants, £23,626 2s. 3d.; School Commissioners of Otago, as this Board's share of primary reserves rents, £3,430 2s. 9d.; building grant, £2,875 ; inspection subsidy, £300 ; scholarships, £393 9s. 2d. These, with several other sums of less importance, make up the total receipts for the year. The payment of teachers' salaries and allowances absorbed a sum of £23,660 Is. 10d. ; incidental expenses of School Committees, £1,654 6s. 10d.; and for building purposes, £3,654 2s. lid. These form the principal items in the Board's expenditure during the year. The amount to credit, as shown in the balance-sheet, is £5,541 11s. 5d., of which £3,546 13s. Bd. stands to credit of the Maintenance Account, and £1,994 17s. 9d. to that for buildings. From the latter will require to be drawn the expenditure required for building operations during the now current year. The ascertained liabilities are as follows : Against Maintenance Account, £585 12s. Id.; against Building Account, £168 15s. Id.; and these, of course, require to be deducted from the credit balances, to show approximately the Board's true financial position. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Neill, Secretary.

The Commissioners have found it necessary to write off as uncollectable the sum of £179 6s. 6d. due by persons who have become insolvent. The accounts show the appropriations made for primary and secondary education purposes. The balance of £296 13s. 2d. in Revenue Account was made up as follows: — £ s. d.

WELLINGTON. Sic, — 16, Queen's Chambers, Wellington, 28th February, 1894. By direction of the School Commissioners I have the honour to present for the information of His Excellency the Governor and the Government the fifteenth annual report of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District, being that for the year ended the 31st December, 1893. The Commissioners have let during the year, and following upon the last sales by auction, three sections—viz., one town section in Levin, Section 5, Block XIV., containing 1 rood, at £1 the section; one village section in Bunnythorpe Village, Section 1288, containing 3 roods 7 perches, at £1 the section; and one country section in the Mangaone, Section 112, Block XIV., containing 293 acres 1 rood, at Is. 3d. per acre, weighted with £76 13s. 6d. for bushfelling and fencing. All the foregoing reserves are let for a term of twenty-one years, with covenant for renewal for a further term of twenty-one years, rent for the renewal term to be fixed on a value to be obtained by arbitration. At the sales held in January, 1894, the Commissioners disposed of three sections —viz., one small section at Karere, of 3 acres, for an annual rent of £4 the section, and two country sections—viz., Waitotara, Section 48, 164 acres, at Is. per acre, and Mangaone, Section 33, Block IV., 269 acres, at 2s. 6d. per acre. Thus, upon these transactions the Commissioners have added to their annual income the sum of £66 35.; but as two sections—Karere and Waitotara —were let for £22 per annum to tenants, who have made default, the net increase of annual income is £44 3s. During the year the Commissioners fixed the first Monday in every alternate month, commencing February, for their meetings, thus having a fixed day, instead of meeting only as business presented itself, and at irregular periods. So far, the change has proved convenient. It is

noticeable that during the year 1893 only one section was gazetted to the Commissioners as an education reserve—viz., Mangaone, Section 33, Block IV., 269 acres. The Commissioners have reason to know that there are several others laid off, but not vested in them, and which they hope to obtain during the coming year. The Commissioners notice with regret the absence of reserves for secondary educational purposes, and would again urge on the Government the necessity for some provision being made for endowments for secondary education. The Commissioners have paid over to the bodies entitled to receive the profits under the 21st section of " The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," during the year 1893, the following sums, viz.:— Accruing from primary-education reserves— £ s. a. £ s. d.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sm, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 12th April, 1894. In compliance with circular from the Education Department, dated 9th December last, I have the honour to report as follows for the year ending 31st December, 1893 :— During the year an auction sale of leases was held, which resulted in the disposal of one rural section for £16 10s. Since the sale three town sections have been leased at an aggregate rental of £27 12s. Two of the town sections had not been occupied before. A copy of the general statement of receipts and expenditure for the past year, certified by the Controller and Auditor-General, is enclosed herewith. Arrears of rent amounting to £96 7s. 6d. have been written off as irrecoverable. As compared with the previous year, the revenue from reserves shows an increase of £245 12s. 5d., and the arrears, after allowing for the amount written off, are less. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Thomas Humphries, Chairman.

NELSON. Sir, —■ School Commissioners' Office, Nelson, 28th March, 1894. In accordance with Order in Council dated the 17th December, 1878, and in conformity with circular from the Education Department dated the 9th December last, I have the honour to submit the following report of the School Commissioners of the Nelson Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1893, together with a copy of the accounts duly audited. During the year the Commissioners have held nine meetings, at which a great amount of detail work was transacted. Owing to ill-health, the Hon. Joseph Shephard was unable to attend any of the meetings of the Commissioners. During the year tenders were invited for leasing reserves in the various districts, the principal portions of which were situated in the West Coast townships; but owing to the depression at present existing in the mining centres, but few sections were applied for. Twelve new leases have been granted, at a rental of £54 13s. sd. I have, &c, Christian Dencker, Chairman of the School Commissioners. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

CANTEEBUEY. Sib, — Government Buildings, Christchurch, sth January, 1894. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th December, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending 31st December, 1893, together with a copy of its accounts, duly audited. The total area of the primary-education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1893, was acres, producing an annual rental of £15,787 13s. 4d. Of this area, 24,200 acres is contained in Pastoral Bun No. 5, which was obtained from the Crown early in 1892 in exchange for agricultural land in the Waimate District. Of the fixed deposit of £189 11s. 5d., which matured on the 21st December, 1893 (and is only applicable to the purchase of land), £56 Bs. has been used in acquiring a strip of land adjoining the Waikari Township, part of Eural Section 7540, which was purchased in order to give road access to Eeserve 1144, which had been subdivided into sixteen lots; and the balance of the deposit, £133 3s. 5d., together with £26 received 'during the year from Eoad Boards for land taken under the Public Works Act, has been deposited for one year from the 22nd December, 1893. During the year thirteen reserves, containing in all 3,260j- acres, were relet for fourteen years or thereabouts. Of these, three of moderate area were let by arbitration to former tenants, and ten by tender, of which five were subdivided into twenty-seven lots. I have, &c, H. E. Webb, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Chairman of School Commissioners.

OTAGO. Sic, — Dunedin, 15th May, 1894. In accordance with Order in Council of 17th December, 1878, and in obedience to circular from your department dated the 9th December last, I have the honour to submit the following report of the School Commissioners of Otago for the year ended the 31st December, 1893 : — Meetings.'—During the year twelve regular and two special meetings were held, at which a large amount of routine and other business was transacted. These meetings, as a rule, absorbed a full day each, and, with the exception of three occasions, the whole of the Commissioners were present. Leases. —During the year the Commissioners leased twelve pastoral, fifty-five agricultural, and twenty-eight town sections in various parts of the provincial district. The total area of the pastoral sections was 6,581 acres, leased to nine tenants; and the annual rent was £304 11s. 6d., or an

average of ll^d. per acre. The area of the agricultural sections was 2,923 acres, leased to forty tenants, the annual rent being £596 2s. 6d., or an average of 4s. O-g-d. per acre. The town sections contained 1 rood each, and they were leased to twenty-two tenants at £63 16s. per annum. The total number of tenants on the Commissioners' rent-roll at present is 832. Settlement at Te Anau.—As stated in my report for the year 1892, the Commissioners resumed possession of about 500 acres of Eun 301b, Te Anau, for settlement, with a view to encourage tourist traffic at Lake Te Anau, and one-half of this area was offered for lease at Invercargill in the month of July last. I am sorry to state, however, that only eight sections have as yet been taken up. The areas of the sections offered ranged from 1 rood and 25 poles to 28 acres each. The upset rents placed upon the small sections fronting the lake were fixed at from 30s. to £5 each, the upsets placed on the larger sections being from 2s. to 3s. per acre. The object of the Commissioners in fixing the upsets on the small sections at a somewhat high figure was to prevent a monopoly for speculative purposes. Advances upon Mortgage.—During the year the sum of £8,300 was advanced by the Commissioners on mortgage over freehold securities, the rate of interest being 6 and 6J per cent. In every case the Commissioners, besides obtaining a report and recommendation from expert valuers, satisfied themselves personally as to the sufficiency of the margin of security. They have established a rule to lend money on such securities only as can be turned into endowments, and profitably worked as such, in the event of their having to take them over under powers of mortgage. The total sum now advanced on mortgage is £32,430 11s. 7d. Buns 208 and 326. —In order to decide as bo the best mode of dealing with the lands comprised in Eun 208, Wairaki, and Eun 326, Waikaia, the Commissioners decided to make themselves personally acquainted with the nature and capabilities of the same, and accordingly four of their number—viz., Messrs. Bain, Baldey, Green, and Dallas—visited the runs in question, along with other endowments in the neighbourhood, for that purpose. An exhaustive report was also obtained from Mr. James Blaikie, an experienced surveyor and farmer, as to the best way of subdividing the land on Eun 208, having due regard to existing fences and natural boundaries. Altar full consideration,- the Commissioners decided to subdivide Eun 208 into six holdings, with areas ranging from 3,150 to 6,300 acres, and to offer them for lease about November next; the leases to commence on the Ist March next. In deference to the wishes of settlers in the neighbourhood of Waikaia and surrounding districts, the Commissioners decided not to subdivide Eun 326 until they have obtained a statutory power to limit the area tenable by any one individual, and they accordingly agreed with the present tenant for a continuance of his lease until the 28th February next, by which time they hope to be able to enforce such a limitation. At present they have not this power, and, although willing and anxious to promote settlement, they have hitherto been unable to prevent monopoly when opening up blocks of land for settlement. Limitation op Areas op Leases. —In proof of the Commissioners' solicitude to have the power of limitation conferred upon them, I beg to refer you to their reports for the years 1891 and 1892, wherein they urged the desirability of being enabled to place a wise limitation on the areas of leaseholds, and to express the hope that you will take the necessary steps during the coming session of Parliament to place them in possession of the powers which they seek to obtain. Aebeabs op Eent. —Of the sums shown in the Statement of Eeceipts and Expenditure as arrears of rent, &c, on the 31st December, 1893, £2,094 7s. has been collected since the commencement of the current year. As explained in previous reports, all rents are debited half-yearly in advance—a number of them as late as the 30th December —and these are seldom paid before the commencement of the following year. In past years the tenants, in a number of instances, ran up the rents at auction to more than their value, although the upsets were fixed by the Commissioners at fair and reasonable amounts, and this, combined with bad seasons, has caused some of them to fall considerably into arrear. As the tenants have in most cases substantial improvements in the shape of fencing and buildings, for which they are entitled to receive full valuation, the Commissioners in some instances have arranged to allow the amount of their arrears to stand over until the termination of the leases, when they will deduct the amount owing from the valuation payable by the incoming tenants. In such cases the current rents are being paid regularly. A considerable portion of the arrears are in respect of lands recently taken up in Blocks IV. and V., Wendonside (late Eun 194). The rents of some of these sections are alleged by the tenants to be too high, and, as the low-lying portion of Block V. fronts the Mataura Eiver, some of the lessees have suffered severe loss of crops during last harvest, This fact, combined with the bad weather experienced last spring, has rendered the collection of rent from new tenants, who for the most part commenced with very little capital, a matter of great difficulty. Expenses of Management.—ln explanation of the sums shown in the Statement of Accounts under the head of expenditure—viz., £1,869 6s. sd. and £40 8s. —I would draw attention to the fact that £424 4s. lOd. was paid to the Southland County Council towards road construction, in connection with opening up land for close settlement; £243 2s. 9d. was expended on the survey of blocks for settlement; £57 15s. was spent on protective works; and £26 6s. lOd. on improving some of the endowments by tile-draining, the Commissioners supplying the pipes and the tenants putting them in at their own expense, under proper supervision, no valuation being allowed at the end of the leases. £62 2s. 9d. was paid to County Councils, Boroughs, and Eiver Boards for rates; while £100 Is. 6d. went to the Government in the shape of railway-fares, stamps, telegrams, telephone, and fees, £47 ss. Bd. representing railway-fares of the. Southland Commissioners while attending meetings in Dunedin. The sum of £46 4s. was received for the preparation of leases by the Commissioners' staff, and should therefore be deducted from the costs of management. The actual sum paid during the year for management—viz., for salaries, office-rent, Commissioners' travelling expenses, and inspection (exclusive of railway-fares),, auctioneer's commission, legal expenses, printing, stationery, advertising, &c. —amounted, to £949 16s. 9d., or 53 per cent, on the amount of money received during the year, which cannot be said to be an excessive cost for the efficient management of a large and valuable trust.
