[In Continuation of E.-l, 1894.]

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lobd,— Wellington, 24th June, 1895, 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, 1894. 1 have, &c, W. P. REEVES. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Glasgow, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT All the supplementary information required for the illustration of this report, so far as the administration of the Education Act and the Education Reserves Act is concerned, will be found in the attached appendix and in the following papers E lα, Inspector-General's Eeport on Examination for Certificates, E Iβ, Reports of Inspectors of Schools. So far as the report relates to matters not coming under the Acts before mentioned, the supplementary information is contained in the papers —E.-2, Native Schools, E-3, Industrial Schools, E.-3a, Costley Training Institution, E.-4, School for Deaf-mutes, E.-5, New Zealand University, E.-6, University of Otago , E.-7, Canterbury College, E.-8, Auckland University College, E.-9, Secondary Schools. Public Schools. The " strict " average attendance at public schools for 1894 was 103,490 This number exceeds by 4,875 the average for the year 1893. But, owing to the prevalence of epidemics, the average for 1893 was actually less than the average lor 1892. If the two years are taken together the increase is at the rate of about 2,200 per annum, and 2,200 is very nearly the average annual increase for the last six years. Throughout the year the capitation grant was computed on the ".working" average. The working average for 1894 was 104,995 , the number provided for i—E 1

in the estimates was 104,500 The fluctuation of the average attendance quarter by quarter is shown by the following statement of working average March quarter, 104,480, June quarter, 105,214, September quarter, 103,256, December quarter, 107,032.

TABLE A. —School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1894.

The proportion between the roll-number and the daily attendance was affected by epidemics in 1893. In 1892 the attendance had reached a higher proportion than in any previous year, and stood at 806 per cent, of the roll. In 1893 the percentage declined to 78-5, in 1894 it rose to the former highest level of 806. A comparative view of the attendance in the several districts is exhibited m Table B The increase in the number of pupils is most marked in the North Island, an actual decline appears only m the small districts of Grey and Westland.

TABLE B. —School Attendance for 1894.

Among the pupils enumerated in Table A and Table B there were m December 1,536 Maori and half-caste children attending public schools. The attendance at Native schools, in which there were 2,418 pupils, is independent

of this enumeration. In every district except Grey there were Maoris at public schools. Their distribution with respect to districts is stated below: —

Table C is a summary of the statistics of age and sex contained in Table No. 1 (Appendix, p. 1) The proportion of boys on the roll is about 51-8 per cent., in this respect there is very little change from year to year More than half the children are below the age of ten years, but their number bears a declining proportion to the total, the percentages for six successive years ending with 1894 being as follows . 54-5, 53-6, 53-1, 53-1, 52-8, and 52-2.

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1894.

The distribution in classes according to standards is shown in Table No. 2 (Appendix, p. 2), and summarised in Table D The preparatory class has declined from 27 75 per cent, of the roll in 1889 to 24-96 per cent, in 1894. Pupils preparing for the Fifth and Sixth Standards, or remaining after passing the Sixth, constitute 19-04 per cent., in 1889 the percentage was 14-68. The three lowest classes, including all that have not passed the Second Standard, form 52-2 per cent, of the roll-number, and are therefore exactly equal to the number of children below the age of ten years.

There is very little change with respect to the average age of the pupils when they pass any given standard, but what changes there are are, for the most part, in the right direction. The principal exception is the case of Auckland, where the ages at passing seem to be getting higher

TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1894.

The Inspectors in conference in February, 1894, recommended the disuse of percentages m reports on the inspection and examination of schools. Their recommendation has been accepted. One result is that Table F this year is not as full as the corresponding tables in previous reports

TABLE F. —Inspection Statistics.

■ There seems to be no valid reason to refrain from the use of percentages in discussing totals that relate to the whole colony, and not to separate schools or districts. The standard passes in 1894 being 65,707, and the number of pupils belonging to the schools examined being 126,532, the passes are to the rollnumber as 51-9 is to 100 In 1893 the percentage was 49-8 , 51-9 has never been reached before. The proportion of passes to pupils examined for pass was as 83"2t0 100, so that the failures, though including cases due to short or irregular attendance, were but 16-8 per cent. In 1893 "failures" and "exceptions" together amounted to 20 - 5 per cent. Table G shows the numbers of passes by standards and by districts.

At the First and Second Standards about 8 per cent, of those who were examined failed, and this result of examination by the head teachers agrees well with the result of examination by Inspectors in these standards m 1893. The annual reports received by the several Education Boards from their Inspectors are printed in a separate paper (B Iβ) Table H shows the number of pupils under instruction in each separate subject. It thus indicates the limits of the primary school course. At the same time it shows (when compared with the other tables) that five-sixths of the girls are taught needlework, and it shows that nmeteen-twentieths of the pupils learn drawing

In the enumeration of schools, two half-time schools under one teacher are reckoned as one school. The number of schools open at the end of 1894 is 1,410. The corresponding numbers for the years 1879, 1886, and 1893 respectively are 794, 1,054, and 1,355 The mean number of average attendance for one school is 75 - 3. In 1893, a year remarkable for epidemics, the corresponding number was 73 - 7 It does not appear that the increase of population has as yet been attended by any marked tendency towards the aggregation of children in large schools. The number of teachers of all ranks rose during the year from 3,266 to 3,306 , the addition to the number of the men being 13, and the addition to the number of the women 27 Included m the total of 3,306 are 1,046 pupil-teachers, the number of the girls being the same as in 1893, and the number of the boys having declined from 238 to 221

TABLE K.— School Staff, December, 1894.

It was observed that in 1893 the increase of the number of teachers was almost wholly m the number of those who had salaries of less than £100. In 1894 the increase is in the number of those whose salaries are not less than £100. The average salary is £94 11s. 3d.

TABLE L. —Salaries of Teachers, December, 1894.

If pupil-teachers, and teachers of sewing, are left out of account the number of teachers at the end of 1894 was 2,260. Of this number, 1,984 were

certificated teachers, and there were five entitled to receive certificates as soon as their inspectors sent in reports on their practical efficiency , there were also 24 entitled to receive certificates upon completing the required term of service the total number of teachers, either certificated or qualified so far as examination is concerned, was therefore 2,013. There were, besides, 85 who had obtained " partial pass." The number of unqualified teachers (as may be seen upon reference to Table M) is still large, though slowly diminishing

TABLE M.—Teachers Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1894. (Numbers in brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

The totals in the fourth, fifth, and sixth columns were changed by successes at the January examination from 85, 42, and 120, to 69, 39, and 105 respectively, 34 persons being thus transferred from the number of the unqualified to the number of the " qualified by examination." The annual reports of the several Education Boards will be found in the Appendix (pp. 60-94), together with their statements of accounts. A summary of these accounts is given in Tables No 4 and No. 5 (Appendix, pp. 4-5), and an abstract in the Table N, which here follows :— TABLE N. —Abstbact of Receipts and Expenditure of Boabds.

The amount received by the Boards as revenue arising from primary education reserves was £34,761 17s. sd. It is not as widely known as it ought to be that this is really colonial revenue The Boards have to account to the Department for their receipts on this account, and the amount of these receipts is deducted from the capitation grants. Against the balances m hand must be set the liabilities at the end of the year From the figures given in Tables O and Pit may be ascertained that the balance of all assets over all liabilities was only £4,587, and that some Boards have a balance on the right side, while others are really in debt. Wellington and Auckland have deficits, both in the building account and in the maintenance account. Southland, Otago, Nelson, Marlborough, and Wanganui have balances on the right side of both accounts. Taranaki, Hawke's

The number of schools carried on in rented rooms is still very large, and so is the number of schools without houses for masters (see Table Q) The number of overcrowded schools shows a slight reduction. At the end of the year eight Boards had balances available for building purposes, amounting in all to ,£7,025 15s. 3d , the other Boards had liabilities on their building accounts unprovided for to the extent of £6,270 ss.

Native Schools. There was an increase during the year in the mimber of Native village schools from 62 to 65. At Whangape it was thought well to try the experiment of closing the school, and substituting two half-time schools—at Puketi and Makora. The school at Otorohanga has been transferred to the Auckland Education Board. At Pamapuria, Tapapa, and Te Awahou, the decline of attendance rendered it necessary to suspend operations. At Matapihi, an experimental school near Tauranga Harbour, the site was not suitable, and it will be of no use to re-open until the people are of one mind in selecting a new site. Old schools at Te Kao, Pukepoto, and Mangamaunu have been re-opened. The re-opening at Te Kao has been welcomed by the people with exceptional enthusiasm, and the school is a large and promising one. New schools at Parapara (near Mangonui) and at Te Pupuke (near Whangaroa) are in a hopeful condition. Eawhia is a new side-school dependent on Kangiahua , the people are not Maori, and the Auckland Education Board has been asked to consider a proposal for a transfer of the control. A school has been opened as an experiment at "Karikan, in Tauranga Harbour The average weekly roll-number rose in 1894 from 2,220 to 2,424, and the average attendance from 1,585 to 1,775, this average attendance being to the rollnumber as 73J to 100. The number of pupils above the age of ten is 46 per cent, of the total, and with respect to race the proportions are 10 per cent, half-caste ; 16£ per cent. European, or inclining to European , 73J per cent. Maori At the end of the year there were 54 masters, 9 mistresses, 52 assistantmistresses, and 11 sewing-mistresses. Salaries of masters and mistresses ranged from £80 to £233, assistants and sewing-mistresses received salaries varying from £4 to £50. The expenditure in 1894 was £15,389 11s. sd. Paid to teachers, £9,778 19s. 2d., books and school requisites, £353 14s. 2d., lantern lectures, £161 6s. 4d., repairs and small works, £623 lls. lid., inspection (including travelling), £841 13s. 10d., sundries, £83 lls. Bd., boarding-school subsidies (including scholarships) and apprenticeship, £1,647 7s. 7d., buildings, fencing, and furniture, £1,899 6s. 9d. A contribution of £88 ss. 9d. was received from Native Reserves income towards the total expenditure of £15,389 lls. sd. There was good reason to be' satisfied with the results of the experiment made in sending a lecturer round to the schools with a good lantern and slides. Since the end of the year the lecturer has been engaged m visiting the schools that were left out of his first circuit. Five lanterns are now being procured, one for each of five large groups of schools . slides will be exchanged among these groups, and the descriptive lectures will m future be given by the masters. At the end of the year there were 67 Government scholars at the four boarding-schools for Natives 29 boys and 38 girls. Six Maori boys were apprenticed to trades 2 saddlers, C A printers, 1 blacksmith, 1 carpenter. The boarding-schools had 143 pupils m addition to the 67 Government scholars. Progress is being made towards the building of three schools m important districts Mawhitiwhiti, near Normanby , Pipiriki, on the Wanganui Eiver, and Euatoki, in the Urrwera country At the first-named place the work is in the hands of a contractor, and at the others the buildings are to be erected on the co-operative principle under the direction of the Department of Public Works. It seems likely that schools will be wanted soon at Taumarunui (JJpper Wanganui), and at Te Whaiti (Uriwera country) At Otamauru and Te Teko new buildings were provided last year to take the place of temporary schoolhouses, and at Whangaruru the accommodation was improved. Since the close of the year a new building has been opened for a new school at Arowhenua (Temuka), and one at Hiruharama (inland from Waipiro Bay) The schools at Ahipara and Kopua, closed m 1893 and 1891 respectively, have been reopened , and a school has been opened at Kawhia with temporary accommodation. The Mangamuka buildings are now being removed to a new site, and work will be resumed there at once. The Inspector's report is printed separately (E.-2).

Industbial Schools. The number of inmates of industrial schools changed but little during the year, the increase—from ],550 to 1,555 —being only five, the difference between 203, the number of cases admitted, and 198, the number of discharges. The number of children dependent on the schools for maintenance declined from 998 to 995. The following table (T) shows the variations during the year of the numbers respectively (1) of children boarded out, (2) of inmates residing in the schools , (3) of inmates at service, or with their friends, or for some other reason absent from the schools. The absentees are 560 408 at service, 116 licensed to friends, 18 absent without leave, 4 in hospitals, 4 in lunatic asylums, 2 m a blind asylum, and 8 in refuges. The wages on deposit in the Post-Office Savings-bank amounted to £8,668 15s. Id for Government schools, and to £254 2s. 2d. for private schools.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1893 and 1894.

The 203 new inmates are distinguished, with respect to religious denomination, as follows Catholic, 83 , Church of England, 74, Methodist, 20 , Presbyterian, 19, Salvation Army, 3, Baptist, 2, Congregational, 1, Church of Christ, 1 More than half (110) of these children were sent in on account of destitution , 40 as having been guilty of punishable offences , 31 as living in disreputable places, 11 as vagrant, as uncontrollable, 5; by arrangement with parents, 6. Such information as is on record with respect to the previous home-life of the new inmates is exhibited m Table U, and, so far as inferences from this table are justifiable, it appears that m 80 cases there is no reason to impute any blame to the parents , that m 17 cases both parents, in 38 cases the father alone, and in 45 cases the mother alone, were of unsatisfactory character, and that in 23 cases the data do not afford any ground of judgment.

Ten deaths occurred during the year, as follows In hospital, a Caversham boy of 10, of laryngitis and congenital disease , at service, a Caversham boy of 14, of enteritis , at service, a Caversham boy of 16, accidentally drowned, at service, a Burnham boy of 18, of peritonitis, attributed to eating unripe fruit, at St. Joseph's, Wellington, a little girl of 6, in consequence of a fall, at Auckland, an infant boy a month old, who had been greatly neglected, and was suffering from whooping cough when he was admitted , an imbecile youth of 20, an inmate at Nelson, of phthisis , a Nelson boy of 8, of influenza and failure of the heart's action, an infant boy of 13 months, at Nelson, ill when admitted, of bronchitis and marasmus, and another Nelson inmate, an infant girl of 5 months, of cerebral congestion. The net cost of the maintenance of the Government schools in 1894 was £7,160 4s. 4d., the gross cost being £14,602 14s. 9d., and the recoveries £7,442 10s. sd. As the average number belonging was 1,159, the gross cost was £12 12s. a head, and the net cost £6 3s. 6d. But this calculation is of little value. There were on an average 641 inmates maintained, and if the salaries (£1,962 12s. lid.) are regarded as a fair equivalent for work involved m the supervision of 518 inmates (on an average) at service, with friends, &c, the gross cost per head for the 641 is £19 14s. 4d.

TABLE W.—Cost of Government Schools, 1894.

The Government expenditure on the private industrial schools is shown in Table X. The net expenditure exceeds that of the previous year by £465.

BEPOBTS OF EDUCATION BOABDS.

AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1895. _ In accordance with section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report for the year ending 31st December, 1894 : — Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members ■ Messrs. W P Buckhurst, T Cooper, A. Grant, M.A., W Lambe, S. Luke, W P Moat, J Muir, E. Udy, and H. Wilding. Mr. Buckhurst resigned his seat in February, and Mr. W Woodward was elected in April to fill the vacancy, Mr Grant retired in March, and his place was filled by the Rev J Bates. Of the members who retire in March, 1895, Messrs. Luke and Woodward have been re-elected, and Mr A. R. Harris has been elected to succeed Mr Wilding. Thirty-nine meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. Leave of absence was granted to Mr. Moat on account of continued illness, which has now ended in his death. The Board holds the highest opinion of his personal worth and of the services rendered by him to the cause of education during the past seventeen years. Public Schools. —Twenty new schools, were opened during the year—viz., Maramarua North, Maramarua South, Kennedy Bay,* Brooklyn, Kaikohe, Maketu* (East Coast), Waitakerei, Muriwai,* Owhiwa, Ngararatunua, Papakura Valley No. 2, Ruth's Island,* Taupo,* Wairoa South No. 2, Mokau,* Hellyer's Creek, Okahu, Kiripaka, Tangiteroria, and Turanga Creek No. 2. Those marked, with an asterisk are aided schools. The aided school at Sandspit (Wairoa) was closed in consequence of decreased attendance, and the Big Omaha School was closed in view of the removal of the building to a more suitable site. At the end of the year there were in operation 326 schools, or, counting every two half-time schools as one school, 309. Of this number, sixty-nine had an average attendance of less than twenty In more than two-thirds of the schools of this district the cost of maintenance exceeds the income derived from the capitation grant. The Board is anxious to encourage settlement by placing a school where an average of ten scholars can be maintained, but, as a rule, no outlay is incurred in building unless there are twenty or more children of school age. Teachees. —The number of teachers has increased from 747 to 766, viz. Head teachers—2o6 males, 103 females; assistant teachers—24 males, 123 females, pupil-teachers—s7 males, 195 females, sewing teachers —58 females making a total of 287 males and 479 females. All teachers above the rank of pupil-teacher are certificated except nine who are classified partial E (or D), and three who are not yet classified. There are now seventy certificated ex-pupil-teachers under the Board waiting promotion to higher rank, and there are about a hundred and forty qualified candidates unemployed. The number of new pupil-teachers taken into the service during last year was less than forty The Board therefore will not admit new candidates to the examination to be held in June next, but will re-examine those who have already passed, in order to select such number as may be required. A new scheme for the employment and training of pupil-teachers is under consideration. It is proposed that the term of service shall be extended to four years, and that the course of instruction shall lead up to the requirements for Class D. Attendance. —There has been an increase of over a thousand in the average attendance. The operation of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," will most likely produce a further increase during the ensuing year A truant officer is employed for the city and suburban districts, who is also authorised to act for the Committees of those districts. There were 642 scholars over school age in attendance at the end of the year, and the number of Maori and half-caste scholars was 717 Class X. —More than six hundred scholars had passed Standard VI. at the end of the year. The Board considers the position of Class Xas at present constituted to be unsatisfactory Some of the scholars have been over the work prescribed for Standard VI three, or even four, times, and their presence in the class is detrimental to those who are for the first time preparing for that standard, besides often being an embarrassment to the teachers. The Board hopes that something may be done to remedy these objections. Scholabships.—Eighteen senior and thirty-eight junior scholarships were held during the year The reports of the scholars were very satisfactory The regulations have been amended with a view of increasing the number of scholarships. Buildings.—The funds at the disposal of the Board for building purposes were inadequate to the growing requirements of the district. Notwithstanding the utmost care and economy in the expenditure, the Board has been obliged to postpone many necessary buildings and improvements. A considerable outlay was found to be necessary in improving the drainage of many of the buildings. The buildings, being with one exception constructed of wood, are beginning to show signs of decay, and some will have to be replaced with new structures at an early date. The Board therefore impresses on Government the absolute need of more liberal provision being made for this purpose. Finance.—The receipts from all sources amounted to £97,361 6s. 10d., and the expenditure to £92,277 12s. 4d., leaving a balance of £5,083 14s. 6d. unexpended at the end of the year The expenditure on maintenance for the twelve months exactly balances the capitation grant earned by the average attendance during the same period, thus Teachers' salaries, £3 3s. sd. a head , grants to Committees, 7s. lOfd. a head, inspection and examination of schools, Is. 9Jd., expenses of Board and departmental management, Is. lid. total, £3 15s. per head.f

f The cost per heaa accoraing to the capitation grant actually receivea within the twelve months was as follows : Teachers' salaries, £3 4s. 4d.; Committees, Bs., inspection, &c, Is. lOd.; expenses of Board, Is. lljd.: total, £3 16s. ljd. per heaa.

E.—l

Committees.—The Board has the highest appreciation of the good services rendered by Committees in promoting the interests of the schools in their respective districts, and in fostering a due care for the protection of the school buildings and other property It is satisfactory to report that cordial relations have been maintained between the Committees and the Board in the- exercise of the functions respectively devolving on them. E. Udy, Chairman.

TABANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, Bth March, 1895. In compliance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit the following report of the Board's proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1894 :— The Boabd.—At the annual election in March, Mr H. Faull was re-elected, and Messrs. W Ambury and J Mackay were elected in the place of the Hon., Thomas Kelly, M.L.C., who did not offer himself for re-election, and the late Mr E. Olson, who died shortly before the time fixed for the election. The Board then consisted of Mr E. G. Bauchppe (Chairman), MissHeywood, Messrs. E. G. Alls worth, G A. Adlam, W Ambury, H. Faull, S. Hill, J Mackay, and J Wade. The Board held twenty-three ordinary and one special meeting during the year, and the attendance of members has been as follows . Miss Heywood, 21, Mr Bauchope, 22 , Mr Allsworth, 23; Mr Adlam, 24, Mr Ambury, 16, Mr Faull, 24; Mr Hill, 23, Mr. Mackay, 15, and Mr J Wade, 24. Schools. —There were forty-nine schools open at the beginning of the year, and three have been opened during the year—viz., Waihi, Salisbury Eoad, and Palmer Eoad—and contracts have been let for buildings at Stanley Eoad and Purangi (Matau) , when these two buildings are completed there will be fifty-four schools in operation in the district. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of last year was 114, classified as follows Head teachers—l 7 males, 2 females, sole teachers—l 7 males, 17 females, assistant teachers —4 males, 8 females pupil-teachers —3 males, 23 females, sewing teachers —23 females total, 41 males, 73 females. The following comparative table will be found interesting, as it shows from one point of view the increase in the Board's operations during the last decade : — 31st December, Slst December, 1884. 1894. Teachers holding certificates 18 57 Teachers holding partial success 3 3 Teachers holding licenses to teach 2 2 Teachers uncertificated 23 3 First year's pupil-teachers 12 7 Second year's pupil-teachers .. 4 8 Fourth year's pupil-teachers 0 11 Sewing teachers .. .. 0 23 62 114 A satisfactory feature in the above table is the decrease in the number of uncertificated teachers, thus showing that the revision of the scale of salaries from time to time has had the desired effect of attracting a better class of teachers,

E.—l

Attendance.—The attendance for the year shows an increase of 279, the number on the roll for the quarter ending 31st December being 3,637, as compared with 3,358 for the corresponding period of 1893. The average attendance shows an improvement on the previous year, it having risen from 2,371 in 1893 to 2,653 in 1894. There is still room for improvement in this respect, but the Board cannot overlook the difficulties that have to be overcome by children attending the outlying schools. The district is a bush one, and the roads are nearly impassable in the newly-settled parts during the winter months, thus preventing the delicate and the younger children putting in an appearance at school during these months. Buildings.—New school buildings were erected during the year at Carrington Road, Hurford Eoad, Pungarehu, and Salisbury Boad, and an old building was removed from Waitara to Waihi, these works, with a number of repairs and additions, absorbed the building grant, and compelled the Board to encroach on the Education Fund to the extent of £224 13s. 2d. for building purposes. It will thus be seen that the Board has been unable to do anything towards providing residences for teachers, the necessity for which was pointed out in last year's report. The building grant for the year is barely sufficient to meet the urgent requirements for teaching purposes, and unless a special grant is made for residences the Board will be reluctantly compelled to shelve this important question for another year Scholarships.—Two scholarships were awarded in Class A and one in Class B, and, on the recommendation of the Board, the governors of the New Plymouth High School granted two freetuition scholarships to two of the unsuccessful candidates, whose papers showed considerable merit. School Committees.—There are now thirty-five School Committees and three provisional Committees in this district, and the sum of £859 15s. 4d. has been paid to them during the year for school purposes. The Committees of the districts in which new schools have been built have acted in a liberal spirit, and the Committee generally take great interest in their duties, and perform them punctually and with diligence. Inspection.—Mr. William Murray, who has served the Board as Inspector during the past eleven years, tendered his resignation, and Mr W E. Spencer, Assistant Inspector to the Wanganui Education Board, was appointed to succeed him. The latter entered on his duties on the first of this month (March, 1895). The Board takes this opportunity of recording its appreciation of Mr Murray's services. He entered on his duties just as the district began sensibly to progress , at the time he sent in his first report (December, 1884), there were thirty-six schools open, with a roll attendance of 2,113 pupils, whereas there are now fifty-two schools, with a roll attendance of 3,637. Notwithstanding this increase in his duties, and that he was in indifferent health during part of the term, he performed the arduous duties of his position with diligence, zeal, and ability Income and Expenditube.—The income of the Board from all sources, including the balance of £1,782 ss. Id. from last year was £13,595 17s. 5d., and the expenditure was £11,666 ss. 5d., leaving a credit balance of £1,929 125., against which there were liabilities and appropriations amounting to £1,899 16s. Id., which left but a small margin to begin the new year with. For information respecting the state of education in the district, I beg to refer you to the Inspector's report. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eobebt G Bauchope, Chairman,

WANGANUI. Sib, — Education Office, Wanganui, March, 1895. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board for the District of Wanganui has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1894 : — Boabd. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members Messrs. John Notrnan (Chairman), H. Sanson, George S. Bridge, J W Baker, J H. Ery, G. Carson, George A. Hurley, E. E. Beckett, and the Eev John Eoss. The members who retired by rotation in March—Messrs. J W Baker, H. Sanson, and G. A. Hurley—were re-elected. At the meeting in April Mr John Notman was re-elected Chairman. During the year the Board held twelve meetings, the attendance at which was very satisfactory, as will be seen by the following figures Messrs. Notman, Sanson, Bridge, Ery, Carson, and Hurley, 12 , Eev. J Eoss and Mr Baker, 11, and Mr Beckett, 8. The day of meeting was in April altered from the last to the second Monday in each month. The executive committee, consisting of Messrs. Notman, Carson, Baker, and Bridge, met thirteen times during the year Schools. —At the end of 1893 there were 103 schools in operation. The aided school opened late in 1893 at Mangahoe was not reopened after the holidays, and the aided schools at Mangawhero and Upper Wangaehu were discontinued, owing to the small attendance. Schools were opened during the year at Awahou, Mangamahu, Mangaonoho, Meremere, Nikau, Pohangina Township (half-time), Taikorea, Three-log Whare, and Westmere. The buildings at Awahou, Mangaonoho, and Three-log Whare were erected by the settlers , and the building at Westmere was provided by two of the settlers on the Board's undertaking to purchase it at the actual cost should an average attendance of twenty-five be maintained for twelve- months. There were 108 schools in operation at the end of the year —an increase for the year of five schools. The settlers at Poukiou and in the Sandon Block are, with the assistance of the Board, erecting buildings for school purposes. The following shows the classification of the schools according to the average attendance Under 15 pupils, nine, 15 and under 20, six , 20 and under 25, four , 25 and under 50, forty-nine ; 50 and under 75, ten, 75 and under 100, three , 100 and under 150, ten, 150 and under 300, twelve, 300 and under 500, two. During the last quarter of the year three schools were temporarily closed, owing to the want of teachers. Teachees.—There were at the end of the year 222 teachers—ll4 males and 108 females—in the Board's employ They were classified as follows Heads of schools—males 44, females 6 sole teachers—males 38, females 17 , assistant teachers—males 10, females 27 , pupil-teachers—males 22, females 58. School Attendance. —The mean average weekly roll-number for the year was 9,264, and the mean average attendance for the same period 7,136. The increase for the year on the rollnumber was 455, and on the average attendance 685. There was very little sickness during the year. The following table shows the increase in the number of schools and in the attendance for some years past:— Number of Average Weekly Average Schools. Roll-number. Attendance. 1888 . 83 6,968 5,275 1890 .. 87 7,778 5,761 1892 .. 95 8,367 6,365 1894 . .. 105 9,264 7,366 The percentage of the attendance on the roll-number is still low It is hoped that the School Attendance Act will have a beneficial effect on the attendance. Buildings.—During the year schools were erected at Nikau, Taikoua, Meremere, and Ohingaiti, and a master's residence at Waitotara. The contracts for these works were let towards the end of 1893. Tenders have been accepted for the following works Schools—Kohi, West Waitapu, and Mangaweka, residences—Bunnythorpe, Linton, Te Eoti, Ohingaiti, and Mangaweka, and additions to schools —Birmingham, Kaponga, Te Eoti, Waitotara, and Pohangina. The school and residence at the last-named, place have been moved to a site in the Pohangina Township. Eepairs of more or less magnitude have been effected at several schools and residences. A sum of £500 has been set aside for painting, as many buildings, schools, and residences are going to decay for want of painting. The Board has not for some years been able to devote any portion of its buildings' grant to this necessary work. Owing to insufficiency of funds, applications for much-needed additions to several schools have been held over, or declined. It is clear that with the spread of settlement there will come applications for schools in the outlying portions of the district, and it is to be hoped that the Board will have placed at its disposal a larger sum than hitherto to enable it to keep pace with the rapid extension of settlement in its district. In September the school at Oroua Bridge was destroyed by fire, and in the following month the Okoia School shared the same fate. The Government voted the amount necessary for replacing the former, and the new school was ready for occupation after the holidays. It is not intended to erect a new school at Okoia, but the residence has been made available for use as a school. In October the Board engaged a carpenter to execute necessary repairs, and it is expected that a considerable saving will thus be effected. As before stated, the settlers in several localities provided buildings for use as schools, and in many other cases the Committees have contributed towards the cost of improvements to the school buildings and grounds. It is a matter for regret that the Board is not in a position to undertake the erection of a number of teachers' residences. In some parts of the district it is almost impossible for a teacher to obtain accommodation , indeed, in one or two cases the teacher has had to live in a whare or a shelter-shed. The amount paid during the year to teachers as house allowance was just over £700.

Scholaeships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held in Wanganui in June. The number of candidates examined for the junior scholarships was ten—six boys and four girls , and for the senior scholarships, nineteen —nine boys and ten girls. Scholarships, each tenable for two years, were awarded to two boys in the junior class, and two girls and two boys in the senior class. In future the senior scholarships will be tenable for three years, and the examination will take place in December instead of in June. The amount expended on scholarships during the year was Paid to holders, £345, examination expenses, £21 14s. 9d total, £366 14s. 9d. Pupil-teachebs.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers and cadets was held in June, when sixty candidates presented themselves for examination. Their classification and the results of the examination are shown in the subjoined table:— Examined. Failed. Passed. Class I. 15 2 13 Class 11. 16 4 12 Class 111. .. 29 12 17 Totals 60 18 42 It is but fair to add that several of the candidates in the Third, or lowest, Class had been, at the time of the examination, less than twelve months in the service of the Board. The Board dispensed with the services of two pupil-teachers who failed for the second time to pass the annual examination. Of the sixty candidates examined, forty-three; were females and seventeen males. Notwithstanding the fact that female pupil-teachers are paid at a lower rate than males, the number of females offering themselves for employment is considerably in excess of the number of males. For the extra work of training the pupil-teachers and supervising their studies, the sum of £405 15s. sd. was paid to the head teachers of the various schools for the year ending the 30th June last. Inspection.—At the December meeting of the Board the resignation of Mr. W E. Spencer, M.A., B.Sc, was accepted with regret. Mr James Milne, M.A., who has for the last four years held the position of headmaster of the Waverley School, has been appointed to succeed Mr Spencer. Finance.—The statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance in the Building Account of £2,963 17s. 6d., and in the General Account of £2,111 12s. lid., against which in the Building Account there are liabilities amounting to £2,645 12s. Id., and in the General Account liabilities of £790 19s. 7d. The Building Account will thus show a bare credit of £493 ss. sd. to meet the whole of the requirements of the district and when it is considered that the Board must paint a large number of buildings during the current year, the actual amount available for the erection of buildings and improvements will be nil, although the demands for increased accommodation and necessary repairs are numerous and urgent. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Gilbeet Caeson, Chairman.

Art Master's Bepoet. Sik,— Technical School, Wanganui, 1895. I have the honour to submit the following report of my work during 1894: — Attendance. —The number of students who were instructed by me during the three terms respectively was as follows Morning class for drawing and painting, 8, 8, 9. Evening class, 21, 20, 29, of which 6, 7, 3 were engineering students. Girls' College—Drawing, 51, 57, 63. Girls' College, painting class, 7, 8, 9. Saturday drawing class for primary-school teachers, 28, 38, 47 Total, 115, 131, 157 Last term science lectures to teachers under the Board were delivered on Saturday afternoon, when 37 attended, making a total attendance last term of 194 at the classes I instruct under the Board. I carried the work on under the greatest possible difficulties—namely, without assistance of any kind, and in rooms altogether too small for the numbers attending. These difficulties will be referred to in detail at the end of this report. Morning Class. —Although the number of students attending this class is yet small very good work is being done. Three students are working for the South Kensington art master's certificate, having completed the art class teacher's certificate. Two other very promising students ride in to the class about ten miles every morning—one from the north and the other from the south. The students are very much in need of several full-figure casts from the antique, as one of the required works for the art master's certificate is an outline from one of these. Our students, therefore, cannot complete their certificates till we obtain such casts. I know that more students would attend this class if they were allowed to paint such things as panels, plaques, and pictures from copies. I cannot, however, allow work of this kind to go on in the school, as it is contrary to the proper course of training in art. Evening Class. —I have founa it advisable to discontinue not only lectures on geometry and perspective, but also those on engineering and architecture, for the reasons mentioned under ' Assistance and Enlargement," at the end of this report. Art students, as a class, are never very anxious to attend lectures on geometry and perspective, as such work is generally considered by them, to be dry and mechanical, however necessary the teacher may consider it consequently, the attendance at this class for art study has increased now it is known these lectures are discontinued. On the other hand, as regards engineering and architecture, lectures, including plane and solid geometry are much more instructive and interesting than simply copying drawings from flat examples, of which the student soon tires. As I have been unable to continue lectures on these subjects, the result is that both the machine-construction and building-construction classes have fallen off to 3 and 2 respectively Good work, especially in light and shade from the cast, is being done by art students, some of whom are sufficiently advanced to begin work from full-figure casts , but, as already mentioned in connection with the morning class, we have none of these casts in the school, and we will therefore probably lose these students if the required casts are not provided. Saturday Art Classes for Teachers under the Board. —This year the attendance has been almost exclusively confined to pupil-teachers and cadets. The resolution passed by the Board calling on head teachers and their assistants to pay fees has been most marked in its result, as is shown by the fact that last term only two out of forty-seven teachers who joined the class paid a fee, and they were preparing advanced work for South Kensington examinations. Formerly this class was mainly composed of head and assistant teachers, who attended for the purpose of obtaining practical hints that would help them with their primary-school work in drawing but now a fee is charged they do not feel disposed, so they tell me, to pay for what they try to get on without. In no other district in the colony where Saturday drawing classes under the Education Board are held are teachers called on to pay a fee , on the contrary in addition to free admission to the class, the Wellington Board pays for the railway pass, to enable country teachers to take the same advantage as the town teachers of the instruction provided in drawing. I would most strongly urge your Board to grant all its teachers free admission to this class, as formerly As I commenced science lectures last term to teachers on Saturday afternoon, the work of this class, part of which was taken in the afternoon, had to be rearranged. Formerly lectures were delivered to head teachers and assistants between 1.30 and 2.30 on primary-school-syllabus requirements —freehand, plane and solid geometry scale drawing, and model. These were discontinued partly on account of the science lecture from 2 to 3, and because, with two exceptions, the teachers for whom these lectures were intended ceased to attend on being required by the Board to pay a fee. The work of the Saturday art class is now taken as follows, and is directed towards preparing pupilteachers for their annual June examination (see pupil-teachers drawing syllabus below). From 10 to 11.30 town students' work is individually supervised; between 11.30 and 12.30 lectures on plane and solid geometry and scale drawing are delivered, each lecture concluding with a few hints and blackboard, sketches on Freehand and model drawing, between 12.30 and 1 the work of those who 9—E. 1

E.—l

come to Wanganui by train is individually supervised. I find that the individual supervision of students in this class, which numbered forty-seven last term, together with the amount of ground to be covered by lectures, is very much more than I can overtake without assistance. This is much to be regretted, as over thirty of the students came from Palmerston, Hawera, and intermediate stations. I refer to the question of assistance at the end of this report. Saturday Science Lectuees. —Last term I commenced science lectures. These were delivered every Saturday afternoon between 2 and 3, and were attended by thirty-seven teachers. The terms of admission are the same as to the drawing classes in the morning—namely, pupil-teachers free, all others are required to pay a fee of £1 per term. The result is the same as that mentioned in connection with the teachers' art classes. Thirty-four out of thirty-seven who attended are pupilteachers and cadets. Head teachers, who might get many useful hints that would help them with their school work, do not feel disposed to pay for what they consider they can get on sufficiently well without , at the same time I know that many would come if the fee were abolished, and I would strongly recommend the Board to do this. The course, which extends over the three terms of the year, is intended to meet the requirements of the Education Department for teachers' Class D examination. In addition to the experiments required by the departmental syllabus, others covering the elementary stages of the South Kensington examinations in inorganic chemistry — accoustics, light and heat—magnetism and electricity are taken. It is to be hoped that when the increased accommodation and assistance so much needed at present in the school is provided arrangements will be made whereby each student will be able to take up practical work. Girls' College Drawing Class. —Although I have not referred to the work of this class in my former reports, I think that, as it is part of my work under the Board, it should be noticed. I visit the school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1.30 to 3.30. Hitherto the work, which is, I understand, a school subject, has been confined to freehand from flat examples. Next term the more advanced girls, some of whom have passed the South Kensington examination in freehand, are to be taught model drawing. There are two divisions, each of which receives instruction for one hour on each of the afternoons that I attend. It would be a much better arrangement if girls could work at drawing continuously for two hours, with an interval of, say, five minutes at the end of the first hour, instead of only one hour two afternoons, as at present. The school desks are much too low, especially for the taller girls , and model drawing will necessarily be restricted to a few, as the room is too crowded to admit of proper arrangements for this work, apart from the fact that there are more girls present for freehand in each of the divisions than can be satisfactorily taught during the hour the class meets. GiiiLs' College Painting Class. —I take the work of this class on Friday mornings at the College from 10 to 12. It is carried on under difficulties, as the girls' sitting-room, in which it is held, is quite unsuited for the purpose as regards space and light. The character of the work, too, is not what it should be, as it is confined to studies in colour from flat examples, instead of from nature, preceded by light and shade work from the cast. This, however, cannot be undertaken till a room is provided in which the light and arrangements are suited to the purpose. Arithmetic and Shorthand Classes.—These classes, which were held here on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, have been discontinued. This has been brought about mainly by the small fee fixed by the Board —namely, ss. per term of thirteen weeks, being the only remuneration received by Mr Grant, the teacher. In 1893 Mr Grant received £9 10s. for his year's work of 156 class hours. South Kensington Examinations. —This year the papers for these examinations arrived from London in June, almost two months earlier than usual. The result was that our candidates in geography and perspective had not completed the required course of instruction, and were therefore indisposed to attempt the examinations in those subjects. In the other subjects the students have done fairly well, the results are given below In connection with these examinations, reference may be made to the excellent results of Leonard Watkins. a primary-school teacher under this Board. This student obtained three " first class certificates in the second grade, two " first class and one " excellent" certificates in the third or highest grade examinations. The excellent" was obtained for shading from the cast, and was one of 56 out of 5,415 candidates who presented themselves from over 3,000 schools under the Science and Art Department. This is the second " excellent " obtained by this school for third-grade time examinations, as C. Blair, in 1893, was one of 35 when 5,231 candidates presented themselves for shading from models. It may be mentioned that this year the time examinations in shading and drawing from the cast were of a more searching character than formerly. Specially-prepared casts are now sent from the Art Department, London, instead of a selection from those in the school, with which candidates are necessarily more or less familiar. Local Examinations.—At the end of the year examinations in drawing were held in connection with the teachers' Saturday class, the results are given below The certificates which are issued to successful candidates for the different subjects are accepted by the Education Department, Wellington, as fulfilling the requirements as regards these subjects in drawing for teachers' classification certificates.

Candidates continue to ask me for information in connection with this, but I am still unable to advise my students in the matter I would again suggest that the department should place drawing on the same footing as the other compulsory subjects for examination. It seems only reasonable that, as all teachers of primary schools are required to give instruction in drawing, they should be called on to show evidence that they possess some ability to do so. Pupil-teachers' Drawing Syllabus.—Since my last report a new syllabus for the annual pass examination of pupil-teachers under this Board has been prepared by Inspector Bindon, who requested me to draw out a syllabus of drawing in connection therewith, and which has been adopted. Formerly, drawing was one of the optional subjects now all pupil-teachers will be examined in drawing at their annual examination in June, irrespective of any drawing certificate they may hold, and any candidate failing to obtain 25 per cent, of the possible marks in it fails for his examination, no matter how good his work may be in his other subjects. As I suggested in my last report with reference to the requirements of drawing for teachers' classification certificates, "the pass need not be high, but let it, for a beginning, be something, even that of the standard examination of pupils." Although the Education Department has not yet, as far as I know, considered the question, it is a step in the right direction that the pupil-teachers under this Board must now show some proficiency in the different branches of drawing they are required to teach. Syllabus op Drawing foe Pupil-teaohees undee this Board. Third, Class (First Year). —Freehand Candidates must be conversant with the systematic method of drawing from flat examples, as given in the notes to pupils and teachers in the freehand series of the Colonial Drawing-book, and, although the time drawing will be confined to the examples in those books, candidates must be prepared to make sketches showing the consecutive stages of construction for any drawing. A knowledge of the work for Standards 1., 11., and 111. (see regulation 20) will also be required. Scale Drawing. —Similar work to that given in Standard V., Colonial Drawing-book. Second Glass (Second Year). —Practical plane geometry In addition to the work contained in Standards IV and V geometry, Colonial Drawing-book, questions will be set based on that work, with the object of testing the candidate's knowledge of the principles of the subject. Freehand Drawing, —That of the first year repeated. The drawing to be made on the blackboard, as for class instruction. First Glass (Third Year). —Model drawing The models will be those required by the syllabus for Standard VI., with the addition of an Imperial drawing-board, on which the objects are placed. The axes of the models will be confined to vertical or horizontal positions. Practical Solid Geometry. —ln addition to the work contained in Standard VI. geometry, Colonial Drawing-book, questions will be set based on that work, with the object of testing the candidate's knowledge of the principles of the subject. Exhibition of Students' Work. —At the end of the year an exhibition of work done by the morning and evening students during the annual session was held in the school. A large number of visitors inspected the drawings and paintings , and, what is equally if not more important, the students themselves found it most instructive, under my direction, to compare different studies of the same work. Assistance and Enlargement. Ever since the opening of the school in 1892 it has been exceedingly difficult for me, without assistance, to attend in the evening and on Saturday to the different classes of work supposed to be going on together in fact, it has not been done to my satisfaction. I have found it necessary to stop evening lectures, as stated above under " Evening Classes," for these reasons During the lectures, which were delivered between 8 and 9 on Monday Wednesday, and Friday, on plane and solid geometry perspective, and engineering, alternating with architecture, from twelve to twenty students present in the school, and who were at other work, were left to themselves, as it was impossible to lecture or work on the blackboard and also go round the art room, together with the supervision of those in the lecture room, who were at other work. The result was that during this hour the industrious student who, with a certain amount of confidence, or perhaps over-confidence, proceeded with his work, next evening, when I criticized what he had done when left to himself between 8 and 9 the previous evening, was much discouraged to find it frequently incorrect, and, although in some cases the drawing or painting could be altered, in others it could not. As a result, many ceased to take an interest in their work. Other students, with little or no confidence in themselves, sat doing nothing during this hour, or went away more or less discontented. As a certain proportion of students at other work were before me in the room during my lecture, it was distracting to me, as I found it necessary to go round in the middle of my work and attend to them. Another reason why machine-construction and building-construction lectures have been discon-

E.—l

tinued is that I find it difficult to give the required time to their preparation and attend to all the other work connected with the school. Even perspective and geometry require a certain amount of preparation, while subjects like engineering and architecture cannot under the most favourable conditions be prepared under three or four hours. Experimental science, taken last term, which in some cases requires no preparation as regards reading, involves at least five or six hours preparing notes, getting out and in many cases fitting up complicated apparatus, and going through the experiments, it may be, two or three times before the lecture—all this without assistance of any kind. This want of teaching power in the school is still more marked at the teachers' class on Saturday morning, when I am supposed to take five different subjects on the blackboard (see pupilteachers' syllabus above), and also attend to students individually, in the limited time at my disposal. When it is remembered that many of those who attend this class travel long distances by train (last term thirty out of forty-seven came by train), it is absolutely necessary if the subjects are to be properly taught, that competent assistance be provided, otherwise it cannot be expected that students will continue to attend this class. The work of the school is carried on in tw T o rooms —namely, the art room, in which the casts are hung, where not more than twelve students can work at easels without crowding, and the lecture room, capable of seating thirty-six students at desks. As the advanced students get on to work from larger casts it is difficult to get far enough away from the cast and yet not interfere with the line of vision of other students. When the required full-figure casts from the antique —so much required by the morning and evening classes, and referred to above —are obtained a larger room must be provided for their reception. I may mention that, as a matter of fact, several advanced art students have discontinued attending the evening class owing to the overcrowded state of the room. Last term forty-seven teachers attended the Saturday-morning class for drawing and lectures on geometery The lecture room, however, has only sitting accommodation for thirty-six students. Owing to the overcrowded state of this room first-class pupil-teachers found it next to impossible to draw from models, and several others, who came from Palmerston to the class, have been unable to get seats, and consequently could do no work. From the fact that the models must be placed on the lecture table for the evening and Saturday-morning classes, it is very difficult to deal with science work, as the apparatus cannot be arranged on the lecture table till the drawing class is over —that is, between 1 and 2, when lam supposed to be having dinner The science lecture is delivered from 2 to 3. Although the lecture room will seat thirty-six, this is only for elementary drawing. In the evening, when engineering and architecture students use large boards, and work from large examples, only two students can work at a desk , so that if lectures on machine construction are resumed, which will, I feel sure, lead to a full attendance, other accommodation for freehand and model students must be provided. I would suggest that the room be enlarged, and exclusively devoted to lectures, as it is, apart from overcrowding, very distracting to me if several kinds of work are going on together at the same time. The walls of the art room are so occupied with casts that there is no available space for frames in which finished drawing and painting can be shown. This is a most important element in the progress of a school, as students see these standard works, which they study and try to work up to. We have twenty imperial frames and many excellent works, but require wall space on which to hang them. From what I have said I hope the Board will see that there are good reasons both for increased accommodation and the appointment of a competent assistant. If this be done I would propose that, according to the syllabus of the school, modelling in clay and wood-carving, together with benchwork in joinery for boys, be commenced in the present art room. These subjects are not only intimately connected with the art w r ork already going on, but, as they are of a directly practical nature, they will be the means of largely increasing the popularity of the school. The school now possesses a complete set of chemical and physical apparatus for instruction in the elementary stages of inorganic chemistry —accoustics, light and heat, and magnetism and electricity —as recommended by the Science and Art Department, South Kensington. It seems therefore desirable that adequate teaching power should be provided in order that evening instruction in these subjects may be given with a view to preparing students for the South Kensington science examinations in those subjects, and to the delivery of popular science lectures and lectures on agricultural chemistry At present the apparatus is only used one hour weekly in connection with the Saturday class for teachers. I have, &c, The Chairman, Wanganui Education Board. David Blair.

WELLINGTON Sib,— Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1895. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, I have the honour to submit the following report of this Board's proceedings for the year ended the 31st December, 1894 : — Board.—No change has taken place in the membership of the Board, the retiring members, Mr Fitzherbert, Mr Young, and the Eev J Paterson, being re-elected, the Board, therefore, now consists of Mr J E. Blair (Chairman), Mr T Brady Mr. W C. Buchanan, Mr F H. Eraser, Mr W 11. Eitzherbert, Mr W W McCardle, the Eev James Paterson, Dr Newman, and Mr Young. The Board has held fourteen meetings, twelve ordinary and two special, with the following individual attendances Mr Blair, 13, Mr Brady 11, Mr Buchanan, 10; Mr Eitzherbert, 10; Mr. Eraser 13 ,Mr McCardle, 12 Eev J Paterson, 10, Dr Newman, 11 Mr Young, 14. The Finance Committee, consisting of the Chairman and Treasurer (Mr Blair and Dr Newman), the Eev J. Paterson, and Mr Fraser, met monthly on the Mondays previous to the Board meetings, when all accounts were carefully examined, and the schedule of payments required to be made was prepared for the Board.

Schools.—During the year ninety-eight schools were in operation, but the aided schools at Ditton and Kaiwhata had to be closed before the end of the year The Grassendale School was not open at any part of the year New schools were opened at the State Farm, Levin, Scarborough, Mangaone Valley Maikairo, and Kaipororo. The classification of the schools open at the end of the year, according to the attendance, was Under 15 pupils, four 15 and under 20 pupils, eight 20 and under 25 pupils, six 25 and under 50 pupils, thirty-seven 50 and under 75 pupils, ten , 75 and under 100 pupils, six , 100 and under 150 pupils, seven 150 and under 300 pupils, eight, 300 and under 500 pupils, eight, 500 pupils and upwards, two. The most important items of school expenditure are Newtown, additional classrooms in separate building and alterations to the main building, £1,037 3s. Id. Mitchelltown, new school, £884 19s. 6d. Otaki, new school, to replace the building which was burned down, £869 12s. sd. Khandallali, new school, £477 ss. 10d. Masterton, additions, £422 Is. 2d., Wadestown, additions, £316 4s. lid., Fernridge, additions, £245 9s. 4d. Paikakariki, residence, £230 9s. sd. Greytown, additions, £137 14s. Mount Cook Girls' alterations and repairs, £109 17s. The Board has arranged that during the Christmas vacation it will, year by year gradually deal with the most necessitous cases of repairs which cannot be met by the carpenter during the time schools are open. Attendance. —The schools opened after the Christmas vacation with 11,065 children on the books. During the year 6,098 were admitted—2,4Bß in March quarter, 1,262 in June quarter, 1,278 in September quarter, and 1,070 in December quarter The withdrawals during the same period numbered 4,591, divided as follows March quarter, 833 June quarter, 1,326 , September quarter 1,191; December quarter, 1,241, leaving 12,572 at the end of the year with a strict average of 10,225, and a working average —on which the capitation grant is paid, and on which salaries are calculated—of 10,299, a difference of only 74, due, probably, more to the summer weather than to the provisions of the School Attendance Act, which has hardly had time to prove its undoubted usefulness. The figures in favour of the working average for the previous quarters were March, 75 June, 154 , September, 214. At the close of the year we had 12,572 children on the books, classified as follows Five and under six years, 970 , six and under seven years, 1,318 , seven and under eight years, 1,566 eight and under nine years, 1,483 , nine and under ten years, 1,442 , ten and under eleven years, 1,544 , eleven and under twelve years, 1,392 twelve and under thirteen years, 1,206, thirteen and under fourteen years, 950, fourteen and under fifteen years, 532 , above fifteen years of age, 169. The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the Board schools were 80 Maoris— 41 males, 39 females 6 half-castes living as members of a Native tribe—4 males, 2 females, 70 half-castes living among Europeans —41 males, 29 females. These were distributed among twentyfour schools. Teachers. —The 318 teachers in the Board's service are classified as follows Head teachers — 47 males, 8 females , sole teachers, 14 males, 27 females , assistants, 26 males, 50 females, pupilteachers, 19 males, 127 females , with 9 teachers of sewing. The certificates held by head teachers, sole teachers, and assistants are A, one, B, five , C, sixteen, D, sixty-one, E, seventy-four We have now only one uncertificated teacher in the Board's service in charge of a Board school, and eight in charge of aided schools. Among those ranking as pupil-teachers there are seven who have passed the D certificate and matriculation examinations , five who have passed for the D certificate, one who has passed for the E certificate and the matriculation, and obtained a partial pass for the D certificate three who have passed the matriculation, and obtained a partial pass for the D certificate three who have passed for the E certificate, and obtained a partial pass for the D certificate two who have passed the matriculation and E certificate examinations twenty-six who have passed for the E certificate, one who has matriculated, and obtained a partial pass for the E certificate , twenty-five who have matriculated , and nine who have obtained partial success towards the E certificate so that out of the 166 pupil-teachers on the list for 1895 there are only eighty-four who do not hold some qualification Beyond the standard pass. The classification of the pupil-teachers for 1895, including candidates unattached, is Ex-pupil-teachers, 59 fifth-year pupil-teachers, 22, fourth-year pupil-teachers, 21, third-year pupil-teachers, 31, second-year pupil-teachers, 13 ' first-year pupil-teachers, 20. In the absence of a university or training college at which pupil-teachers could continue their studies after the completion of their term of service, the Board retains them on the staff of the respective schools to which they have been attached, classifying them as ex-pupil-teachers, and allowing a special salary between that of senior pupil-teachers and junior assistants. This arrangement has many advantages, but absorbs considerable outlay annually beyond what would be caused were they to remove from the Board's service and their places be filled by first-year pupil-teachers. The examination was conducted in December, as in previous years, at Masterton and Wellington. Sixty-five candidates were examined in the full subjects for the pupil-teacher course, and ten who had matriculated were examined in science, school management, and drawing. Scholarships.—One hundred and fifty-five candidates presented themselves at the examination held in October, and, although some of these did not obtain half-marks in English and arithmetic, all the winners of the city scholarships, and one winner of a country scholarship, were commended for their excellent papers. Scholarships were awarded to [ten boys and ten girls] From the annual report of the Inspectors it will be seen that the first year's examination on the papers set by the Education Department has resulted in less standard passes being recorded than in the previous year still, under the circumstances, such results are considered satisfactory Out of a roll-number of 12,643 —306 increase on the total number of children on the books at the time of the previous examination —6,458 passed their respective standards, as against 6,818 for the previous year From the lost ground which many schools had to make up, and the changes of programme and varying tests, the number of failures was greater than

E.—l

usual in some standards, particularly in the Third and Sixth. In only one school was the order and discipline unsatisfactory but the teacher who was then in charge has since retired. In this subject fifteen schools are classed very good, fourty-four good, twenty-five very fair , and ten fair In manners, only four schools are marked as fairly satisfactory, the rest being considered satisfactory Technical School. —The work done at this institution is again eminently satisfactory Two new branches —wood-carving and plumbing—have been added to the subjects, and give promise of gratifying results. Miss Richardson has the honour of being the first colonial student to obtain the art master's certificate. Miss Broome obtained a national bronze medal, and Miss Hill obtained a national book prize. In the examination in plumbing, Thomas Ballinger obtained a silver medal, and Frederick Smith obtained a bronze medal. The results of the Science and Art Department's examinations would have entitled the school to a grant of £260 in the higher work, and £176 upon the results of the primary-schools drawing examination had the school been in Great Britain. Finance.—The income has not met the expenditure on either Maintenance or Building Account, and a more rapid growth in the average attendance at the Board's schools will be looked for to enable the Board to maintain the increased scale of payments to pupil-teachers and assistants. The expenditure for teachers' salaries amounted to £2,937 more than was paid under this heading during the previous year, while the increase in statutory capitation received amounted to only £1,881.

Repobt of the Dieectoe of the Technical School. Sic,— Wellington, Ist March, 1895. I have the honour to submit my report upon primary drawing and the work of the Technical School for 1894, as follows :— Primary Drawing. The work in the primary schools has made considerable progress during the year Much greater interest seems to be taken in the work throughout the district by every one concerned. The reports of my visits to the schools have been handed over to the Chief Inspector, instead of being forwarded to the School Committees as in previous years. A new drawing syllabus has been issued, containing full information as to the standard requirements, models, text-books, appliances, drawing scholarships, technical classes, examinations, and certificates. I am glad to report that the girls throughout the primary schools of this district continue to take geometrical drawing. This is undoubtedly the most important section of primary drawing. It is therefore satisfactory to note the appreciation of the subject. A move has been made in the direction of establishing manual-instruction classes under Mr Barrett, the instructor in carpentry and wood-carving. I earnestly hope this movement will spread widely and rapidly I would like to see this subject adopted as a portion of school work for boys, and cookery for girls, in the Fifth and Sixth Standards, these subjects to be placed as optional with one or other of the ordinary school subjects in these standards. This, in my opinion, is a very desirable course. Manual instruction, apart from its own great value as an educative influence in

E.—l

bringing the hand more in unison with, the mind and the eye, tends to redress the undue literary tendency of our educational system. Further, it would give boys a higher opinion of the value of manual work, and a less inclination to seek clerical occupation. These classes cannot, however, be conducted without assistance from either the Department of Education or the Board. A contribution of 10s. in the pound upon the cost of material, or fees received, would enable large numbers to be dealt with. It is to be regretted that, owing to the want of funds, the services of a well-qualified instructor in cookery, from the Leeds School of Cookery, having experience in the management of school classes, could not be secured upon her arrival in the colony Fikst-gbade Dbawing Bxamination. —In this examination the following were the results The total number of papers issued was 6,115, and the number worked, 5,477 Subdivision of papers Freehand, 1,830 —861 passed, 969 failed, geometry 1,799 —1,328 passed, 471 failed, scale, 1,220—641 passed, 579 failed, model, 628—366 passed, 262 failed t0ta1—5,467 papers, 3,196 passed, 2,281 failed. Of these papers, 622 were taken by schools not under the Wellington Board, and 303 passes were recorded. Number of papers excellent, 432 , number of papers good, 529, individual candidates, 3,587 , individual passes, 2,439 , schools presenting candidates, 102. Increase upon 1893 Papers worked, 580 , papers passed, 91, individual candidates, 402 , individual passes, 109 , schools presenting candidates, 11. In the freehand papers proportion was again one of the main causes of failure, and a large number showed want of appreciation of the character of the copy About three hundred candidates ought never to have been presented. The geometrical papers show high efficiency, and fully sustain the decision of the Board to have all geometry taught in the Fourth Standard. The scale papers give evidence of weakness in a most important point—viz., the construction of the scale. The model papers show decided improvement. In future examinations, more strict compliance with the regulations for conducting the examinations will in all cases be required. Applications were made from twenty-six schools outside the Wellington District. The schools were from the Dunedin, Greymouth, Westland, Marlborough, Nelson, and Wanganui Districts. Several Wellington schools not under the control of the Education Board presented candidates for examination. Undoubtedly this examination has done more towards developing a sound basis for technical education than any other primary work. The results speak for themselves in the following return showing the number of passes recorded since the examination was started In 1884, 80 passes , in 1890, 1,966 passes , in 1894, 3,196 passes total, 1884 to 1894, 15,532 passes. The number of full first-grade certificates (embracing passes in four subjects) issued up to date is 701. Scholaeships.—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 a hundred and sixty competed for the vacancies occurring. Instruction to teachers and pupil-teachers has been continued as usual during the year The classes have made better progress this year especially so in the case of those holding the full second-grade certificate, who have continued their more advanced studies in light and shade and colour In the junior classes, greater punctuality is still to be desired, especially in connection with the geometry and perspective class. The correspondence class is considerably extending its usefulness. South Kensington Examinations. —Six teachers were successful in the Kensington examinations of the third or higher grade, and two in the examination in elementary light and shade from the cast. lam glad to report that a number of teachers are now presenting themselves for examination under the Science and Art Department in many of the science subjects contained in the syllabus. Local Examinations.—Four teachers were successful in the third or higher grade, and twelve have completed their second-grade certificates in accordance with the requirements of the Board.

Glasses. Drawing and Painting.—The Committee this year appointed Mr Madden, of Christchurch, as examiner The works examined were in all cases time studies worked under special supervisors. In his report he states : " Taking all the works submitted for examination together, the school must be highly congratulated upon the work of the year The high standard reached by many of the students in their advanced work I think is mainly owing to the great care and thorough grounding that the school gives, as shown in the excellence of the elementary work. The temptation to pass over this early work and push students on to the production of pretty-coloured pictures is too often yielded to in art schools, with the result that the students never learn to draw—the first and most necessary study in all art work. A glance at the advanced work done in the school, the firmness and precision of touch, and total absence of that niggling minuteness too often mistaken for finish, or misty indecision, which is so sure a sign of inability to draw, should be ample reward for the year spent on the drudgery of early work." Mr Maddens remarks are fully borne out by the exceptional results of the South Kensington examination, full information of which is given under "Examinations." The sketch-club competitions, the objects of which are originality, composition, and the strengthening of the memory, have been continued throughout the year, and also drawing from memory of work in hand. Both these sections have done much to help the development of sound work. All classes in this section have worked earnestly during the year Machine Construction and Drawing.—Mr Anderson, C.E., the examiner, in his report, states that " The answers given by the first year's students were very creditable, and their knowledge of the principles involved in the questions submitted to them were equally so. The improvement shown by the second-year's students over those of the first is very marked, showing that good progress has been made. I have examined the drawings upon which the students have been engaged during the year, which I consider creditable alike to both students and their instructor Mr Welsby, a number of the drawings being equal to those turned out by professional draughtsmen. I am thoroughly convinced that the tuition is such that it cannot fail to be of incalculable benefit to apprentices learning mechanical trades, if they wish to attain to the highest positions in their profession. Those who do not avail themselves of the opportunity offered by your school, or secure tuition of a like nature elsewhere, must eventually be left behind." I am glad to report that the students generally in this and other trades classes are now acting more in accordance with my desire that they should go through a course of practical geometry and model drawing. As I have said previously, these subjects are of the highest importance to every one concerned, and will go largely towards advancing a workman, and making labour what it should be—" skilled work." I regret that owing to the want of funds our stock of models has not been increased. Architectural Drawing and Building Construction.—Mr. Clere, F.E.1.8-.A. who examines the work of this class, notes a further advance in the quality of the drawings submitted. Mr Clere finds that Mr McKay who has instructed the building construction section since the early part of the year has fully maintained the high standard instituted by Mr Campbell. lam glad to report improvement in the numbers of this class upon last year Wellington College and Girls' High School. —Classes have been continued at both institutions during the year and satisfactory progress made. Scholars at either school holding primary-drawing scholarships are entitled to join these classes for the period of their scholarships. Plumbing Classes, Theory and Practice.—These classes were commenced during the year to enable the plumbers of Wellington to comply with the new sanitary by-laws, which requires all plumbers to hold a certificate in the theory and practice of their trade before the 31st March, 1895. The City Council have aided the Board by providing a workship 50ft. by 20ft., and furnishing the same with benches, gasfitting, and sundry permanent requirements, thus enabling the classes to be held. The Council further undertakes to refund any deficiency that may occur in connection with the working of these two classes, the Board having no funds other than fees received. Mr J Campbell, the instructor in charge of the building-construction work, undertook the theory work, and Mr Mack was appointed to the charge of the practical work. Large numbers have availed themselves of the opportunities offered, and very successful results have been obtained, the majority of the candidates passing very successfully in the City and Guilds of London and the local examinations. There is not the slightest doubt that great good will result from these classes. Mr Mack, the instructor in practical work, gave a demonstration in joint-wiping at the opening of the workshop, which was very largely attended. Wood-carving, Carpentry and Modelling.—Classes in these subjects were established in August under Mr W H. Barrett, and are likely to prove very successful. As all the class-rooms are fully occupied, a portion of the lecture hall was set aside, but it will be a great advantage when a workshop can be built. Excellent work has already been produced by the members of the class. The subjects of instruction are Sculpture from the clay to the finish in marble, waste moulding, piece moulding in plaster of Paris, marble and stone carving for ornamental work on buildings, &c. , wood carving in gothic and classical style for church work, cabinet work, and general purposes ; practical masonry in hard or soft stone , plasterers' modelling for plaster of Paris or cement work carving in cement before it is hard set for building purposes , bricklayers' setting and carving

E.—l

in bricks for building work, foundry work, carving and designing for ornamental brass and iron castings , carving in fired wood for decorative purposes , and carpentry I regret that the assistant teachers of the city schools have not taken advantage of these classes for carpentry In connection with their department, I am endeavouring to arrange carpentry classes for the primary scholars, and I sincerely hope before the present year is past we shall have large classes in this very necessary branch of education in working order Examinations. I take this opportunity of stating that examinations in our case are not like ordinary examinations, inasmuch as it is impossible to cram for the event. Further, in all cases it is a question of showing actual knowledge and power of doing work with instruments, pencil or brush, within a reasonable time, and in a business-like manner Our certificates are now being recognised by various trades, and consequently are of commercial value. Further, our students have the privilege of obtaining certificates from the Science and Art Department and the City and Guilds of London Institute, both of which are valuable as being recognised and accepted by any body or society throughout the world. 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 6,690, and the number of certificates issued was 3,859. The number of certificates issued in all grades since the school was established in 1886 is 19,329, subdivided as follows Primary or first grade, 15,134 , intermediate or second grade, 2,396, higher or third grade, 740, South Kensington, 1,036, and City and Guilds of London, 23. Second Gbade (Local). —Total number of papers taken, 473, subdivided as follows Freehand, 152 candidates —93 passed, 59 failed, geometry, 83 candidates—37 passed, 46 failed, perspective, 85 candidates—37 passed, 48 failed, model, 118 candidates —58 passed, 60 failed, memory, blackboard, 35 candidates—2o passed, 15 failed total, 473 candidates —245 passed, 228 failed, 24 excellent, 29 good. Number of individual candidates examined, 296, successful, 169. In this examination the papers show marked improvement in freehand, model, and memory drawing, but the work in geometry and perspective has not shown improvement, more especially in connection with the Saturday teachers' class. The attendance has been irregular, and the homework indifferent. Under these circumstances no success could possibly be hoped for Thibd Grade (Local). —Considerable increase in the number of papers is this year recorded, 242 papers being taken, as against 98 of last year The results were very satisfactory, especially in outline from the cast, and models, light and shade, colouring, and design. Number of papers taken, 242—passes, 169, failures, 73. Individual candidates, 94, individual passes, 81. Papers excellent, 29 , papers good, 46.

Science and Art Department, South Kensington. lam pleased to report exceptionally high results in connection with this department. The first art masters' certificate completed in the colony by any art student has been obtained by Mary E. Eichardson. This certificate entitles the holder to take charge of an art school, and, if in the United Kingdom, to earn the grants of the department in respect of work done. The only other school in the Australasian Colonies which has obtained this certificate is Adelaide, South Australia. 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 hitherto been particularly successful. The works now selected for national competition are also of a decidedly higher standard. The school may therefore, under these stringent conditions, be congratulated in obtaining two prizes in the national competition—namely, national bronze medal, Florence Broome , national book prize, Mabel Hill. The bronze medal is the only medal awarded to any colonial school. The subject in which the award is made is design and historical ornament. The examiners—Messrs. Lewis F Day, Frederick Shields, A.E.W.S., and Stephen Webb—in their report, honour Florence Broome by saying they think the series of studies well selected and carefully drawn. The examiners in drawing from the living model, in which Mabel Hill obtains her prize, were W F Yeames, E.A., A. Gow, E.A., and the Hon. John Collier It may surprise many to learn that 266 art schools sent up 44,499 works for examination. Of this number, only 3,605 were selected for national competition. There is, therefore, all the more credit due to us for the prizes won in competition with these schools. 10— E. 1.

The results of the year's examination in connection with the Science and Art Department would have entitled the Board, had the school been within Great Britain, to a grant of £260 in aid of the higher work, and £176 upon the results of the primary-schools drawing examinations. It is satisfactory to report that advantage is now being taken of the examinations in science subjects, especially by the teachers in the Board's service. The science subjects in which candidates may be examined are as follows Practical plane and solid geometry, machine construction and drawing, building construction, naval architecture, mathematics , theoretical mathematics—(a) solids, (b) fluids; applied mechanics , sound, light, and heat (elementary stages) —(a) sound (advanced stage and honours), (b) light (advanced, stage and honours), (c) heat (advanced stage and honours) , magnetism and electricity, inorganic chemistry (theoretical), inorganic chemistry (practical), organic chemistry (theoretical), organic chemistry (practical), geology, mineralogy, human physiology, general biology, zoology, botany, principles of mining, metallurgy (theoretical), metallurgy (practical), navigation, nautical astronomy, steam, physiography, principles of agriculture, hygiene. City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education. The examinations under this department have resulted in the highest possible successes being obtained, viz. silver medal, Thomas Ballinger , bronze medal, Frederick Smith, both in connection with the examination in plumbing. The silver medal is the highest award offered by the City and Guilds of London. The number of candidates examined in plumbing was 1,253, 652 of whom passed. Only two silver and five bronza medals were awarded to candidates in the United Kingdom. The school having obtained both silver and bronze medals is therefore entitled to a high position. The total number of papers and works submitted locally in theory and practice was 26—passed 20 , failed 6. The results are as follows :—Theory of plumbing Honours grade—Second Class, 1. Ordinary grade—First Class, 7 , Second Class, 3. Practice of plumbing Pass, 7 Mechanical engineering Ordinary grade—Second Class, 1. Brickwork and masonry Ordinary grade—Second Class, 1. Candidates may now present themselves for any of the under-mentioned sections. 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 required 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 in May Application for permission to sit is required to be made on or before the 20th December. A registration fee of 2s. 6d. per section is charged for this examination. The subjects of examination are as follows: Salt manufacture, alkali manufacture, soap manufacture, bread-making, brewing, spirit manufacture, coal-tar products, sugar manufacture, painters' colours, oils, and varnishes, oils and fats (including candle manufacture), gas manufacture, iron and steel manufacture, paper manufacture, photography, pottery and porcelain, glass-making, dressing of skins, leather-tanning, boot and shoe manufacture, silk-dyeing, wool-dyeing, cotton-dyeing, cotton and linen bleaching, calico and linen printing, wool and worsted spinning, cloth-weaving, cottonspinning, flax-spinning, linen-weaving, silk throwing and spinning, silk-weaving, jute-spinning, juteweaving, lace manufacture, framework knitting and hosiery, hat manufacture, telegraphy and telephony, electric lighting and power distribution, electro-metallurgy, metal-plate work, plumbers' Work, silversmiths' work and plated wares, goldsmiths' work and plated wares, watch and clock

making, mechanical engineering, road-carriage building, rail-carriage building, typography, lithography, raising and preparation of ores, mine-surveying, milling (flour manufacture), carpentry and joinery, ship's carpentry, ship's joinery, brickwork and masonry, plasterers' work, dressmaking, woodwork (for teachers of elementary schools), cotton-weaving. I hope that advantage may be taken of these examinations by the various trades, and especially by the apprentices. The control of examinations in connection with the City and Guilds Institute has now been handed over to the Department of Education. This school has been the means of inaugurating this, as well as the South Kensington system, in the colony but it was deemed advisable to hand over the control, in order that every similar institution in the colony might have the same advantages. Scholarships. The four scholarships available for two years offered by the Board in connection with the classes have again been competed for During the past year three of the scholarships became vacant—the mechanical, on account of the departure of Albert Brown for the Central College of the City and Guilds of London to continue his studies as an electrical engineer , the day class, owing to Miss Jollies resignation ; and the building construction, owing to the unfortunate death of William Strange-Mure. Library The library now consists of 344 volumes upon technical, science, and art subjects. Over 200 volumes have been circulated amongst the students in connection with their special requirements and trades. Mr Eowe, the chief librarian of the Public Library, has very kindly furnished the school with a list of technical works suitable for students. The additions to the library during the year have been as follows Mechanical section —The Mechanical World Pocket Diary, Engineering (2 vols., 1883), The Engineer (2 vols., 1893), The Electrician. Architectural section—Elementary Building Construction (Burrell), Building Construction Materials, The Builder (2 vols.), forty plates on building construction, The Architect, Building Construction (Part II.), Handrailing. General and art section Decorative Art (1893), Work (1893), Catalogue of the Free Public Library, Review of Bevietos (2 vols.) Art Journal (1893), Manual Instruction. The following contributions have been received By Mr Evans—Working Drawings for Carriage-building, by Mr Clere—Anatomy for Artists, with plates. Objects of art and science apparatus have been kindly lent by the Colonial Museum and Mr David Anderson. 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 Engineering, from the Education Board, The Art Journal, from Mr Stephens , The Building Neius, from the Sawmillers' Association , The Bevieio of Beviews, from Mr J A. Tripe , The Art Journal, from Wx. Pearson. The above are placed for the use of the students, and at the end of the year are bound and added to the library General Remarks Lectures.—ln the early part of the year I arranged a course of four lectures on behalf of the students and their friends, with a view to combining pleasure and instruction. Two only however, were given, one by myself upon the South Kensington Museum, the second by Mr Nairn upon landscape and caricature. The lectures were not appreciated by those for whom they were intended, and, as a small loss was entailed, I discontinued them. Visits of Committees from other Centres.—During the year the school has been visited by a committee of the Dunedin Education Board, Sir Maurice O'Eorke, and the late Captain Hearn, on behalf of Auckland, and information has been supplied to various centres, including Western Australia, with regard to the system adopted by this Board. There can be no doubt that the success of the work is mainly owing to the thorough grounding given in the primary and elementary work, the value of which is now being felt throughout the entire district. The whole work, from primary to secondary and thence to the higher and individual trade branches, being controlled by one centre, gives undoubted advantages which other centres lack. Expenditure.—The total expenditure on account of the Technical School is £1,615 12s. 7d. The receipts amount to £736 17s. 6d., being £636 17s. 6d. fees from students and £100 Government grant. The cost of the work in connection with primary education, which includes instruction to teachers and pupil-teachers, primary-scholarship holders, inspection of drawing in schools, examination of schools and examination of teachers in drawing, is therefore £878 15s. Id., which will be further reduced by the sum of £27 11s. 5d., being fees and the sale of old lead from the plumbing classes. Thanks.—My thanks are due to all those I have named, and who have so generously contributed to the successful year's working, either by loans or contributions of prizes, books, periodicals, or appliances , to Messrs. J Anderson, P de J Clere, H. Madden, T Scott, and T Ballinger, who acted as honorary examiners , to the supervisors , and to my staff, of whom, for their energy and very sincere interest in the welfare of the school, I cannot speak too highly , and to the Board's committee for the careful consideration given to matters affecting the school's welfare. I have, &c, The Chairman, Wellington Education Board. Arthur D. Biley, Director

HAWKE'S BAY Sic, — Education Office, Napier, sth January, 1895. In accordance with the usual practice, I have the honour to forward a report of the proceedings of the Education Board of Hawke's Bay for the year 1894. The Board consists of the following members, viz The Hon. J D. Ormond, M.L.C. (Chairman), J W Carlile, Esq., J S. Gilbert, Esq., E. Harding, Esq , Captain W E. Eussell, M.H.E., Eev D. Sidey F Sutton, Esq., T Tanner, Esq and F W Williams, Esq Schools.—Three new schools have been opened during the past year viz. Maharahara East, Tamumu, and Weber. Tenders are being invited for the erection of another new school at Papakura. School Attendakce.—The following return shows a comparative statement of the children on the roll and the average attendance in the schools under the Board from 1878 to date :—

A very considerable improvement in the percentage of increase of average attendance is apparent this year The passing of the School Attendance Act last session, which enforces a penalty for non-attendance .of children, may have a beneficial effect in increasing the number, and, should this prove to be the case, provision will require to be made for larger accommodation. The space at the disposal of the Board in many of the schoolrooms is barely sufficient for the present attendance. School Committees.—The grant-in-aid system continues to work satisfactorily A considerable amount has been subscribed during the. past year by Committees towards fencing, clearing grounds, and in several cases towards furnishing additional accommodation. It is a pleasant duty to be in a position to record that the Board and the Committees continue to work amicably together Scholarships. Nineteen new scholarships have been granted for 1895. Owing to the existence of a feeling in the country districts that the larger schools have an advantage over the smaller schools in the matter of scholarships, the Board has appointed a Committee to consider whether any improved classification can be made. Pupil-teachers.—The new regulations for pupil-teachers work satisfactorily Several schools have taken advantage of the provision permitting pupil-teachers to remain a year longer in their respective schools, with the view of taking advantage of the instruction provided by the Board to enable them to obtain a teacher's certificate. Sewing.—At the yearly competitive examination 1,745 specimens were examined, and were most favourably reported upon. The suggestions forwarded by the lady examiners to the different mistresses in the year 1893 had evidently been attended to, and with satisfactory results. Buildings.—The Board has had a return prepared showing the school space provided in each school district, with the average attendance and the roll-number This return shows that accommodation in many of the schools is barely sufficient for the present attendance. Attention was called in last year's report to the increasing requirements of the country districts for school accommodation. The building grant placed at the disposal of the Board is barely sufficient to meet the most urgent requirements, and were it not that the Board has contrived to supplement the Building Fund with £1,000 saved from the School Fund the necessary requirements of the district could not have been provided for. Funds are urgently needed for providing residences for teachers in outdistricts where new schools are erected, and where it is very difficult for teachers to secure suitable accommodation. Income and Expendituee. — The income of the Board from all sources amounts to £25,255 13s. 4d., to which has to be added the balance from last year of £5,145 9s. 6d. The expenditure shows the cost of maintenance of schools, allowance to School Committees, and money paid to Building Fund was £21,455 13s. Bd. The expenditure on buildings was £3,96(3 7s. 9d., making a total of £25,422 Is. 5d., this leaves a credit balance of £4,979 Is. 5d., but, as the sum of £1,321 10s. received from the School Commissioners is included in this, the actual credit balance is £3,657 11s. sd. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J D Ormond, Chairman.

MABLBOEOUGH. Sir,— Education Office, Blenheim, 12th March, 1895. I have the honour to present the report of the Marl-borough Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1894. The Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following gentlemen The Hon. W D H. Baillie, Messrs. Thomas Carter, John Duncan, J M. Hutcheson, J A. Lambert, Charles H. Mills, WB. Parker, JH. Eedwood, and A. P Seymour The members retiring by rotation at the end of March were Messrs. Duncan, Hutcheson, and Parker Mr Hutcheson declined to stand for re-election, and Messrs. Duncan, Parker, and J C. Chaytor were elected to fill the vacancies. The Board held fifteen meetings during the year, two being adjourned meetings and one a special meeting. The Hon. Colonel Baillie attended 8 meetings, Mr Carter, 14; Mr Chaytor, 10 (nine months), Mr Duncan, 13 Mr Lambert, 8 Mr Mills, 6, Mr Parker, 11, Mr. Eedwood, 14 , and Mr Seymour 7 The average attendance per meeting was rather over 6. Schools. —The number of schools that have been in operation during the year 1894 is fifty-five, and, of these, thirty-six have an average attendance below 25, as many as thirty having less than 15 pupils, and twelve of them less than 6. The absolute necessity for the existence of these small household schools has been frequently referred to in this Board's former reports, and arises from the unusual—one might perhaps say unique—geographical features of the northern portion of this education district. Although the maintenance of these little schools is likely to become burdensome to its finances, the Board cannot for a moment contemplate the refusal to grant aid to the isolated settlers in the Sounds for the education of their children , but, on the contrary, considers that it would be wanting in its duty to the cause of education if it neglected to do anything in its power to extend the benefits of the Education Act to the remotest corners of the district. Whether it will be always within the power of the Board to continue its present scale of payments, or whether it will be compelled to place a minimum limit on the number of children for whom aid will in future be granted, probably depends in a great measure upon the special consideration that may be shown by the department for a district so heavily weighted with schools financially unproductive. By reference to the last report of the Minister it will be seen that in Marlborough there are absolutely more schools having less than fifteen pupils than in any district excepting Auckland. The only district which approaches Marlborough in the number of small schools is Westland. The small schools in the Auckland District are about 11 per cent, of the whole number, in Taranaki, 6 per cent., Wanganui, 12 per cent., Hawke's Bay, 7 per cent., Wellington, 6 per cent., Nelson, 20 per cent., Grey, 21 per cent., Westland, 46 per cent. North Canterbury, 9 per cent., South Canterbury, 16 per cent. Otago, 10 per cent. Southland, 24 per cent., Marlborough, 48 per cent.; but for the year now under review the number of small schools in Marlborough has increased to about 55 per cent. There are only four schools in this district whose earnings—that is, the capitation received from the Government on their account—are more than sufficient to pay the teachers' salaries, and three of these average only £62 above that amount. In face of such difficulties as these, the Board cannot deceive itself with the hope that it will long be able to continue to treat these aided schools as liberally as is needful, if they are to exist at all, unless some special extra provision is made for a population so scattered, and by nature cut off from intercourse with other parts of the district and colony Attendance.—The average weekly roll-number for the year was 2,1135, and the working average daily attendance was 1,707 "75, or nearly 81 per cent, These figures show that the attend-

E.—l.

ance has returned to about its normal condition, and that the unfavourable circumstances which brought last year's percentage of attendance down to 76-6 have not been operative to any great extent during the year under review This year will show how far the provisions of " The School Attendance Act, 1894, will avail to increase the average attendance. With the object of giving this Act a fair trial the Board has appointed truant officers to enforce the statutory attendance, and hopes that the expense thus incurred will be more than repaid by the extra attendance which is expected to result from the employment of those officers. Teachers.—The number of teachers employed in schools under the control of the Board at the end of the year was seventy-eight (twenty-five males and fifty-three females) , of these, one male and ten females were pupil-teachers. There were also two sewing-mistresses. With one exception all the adult teachers employed at Board schools are certificated, on the other hand, the teachers of most of the aided schools are uncertificated ; nor is it possible to obtain the services of certificated teachers for the very small remuneration that, as a rule, is afforded by such schools. Buildings.—Several new buildings have been erected this year, the most important being the new infant school at Blenheim, the enlargement of the Grovetown School, an addition to the Fairhall school, and a caretaker's cottage, Board-room, and office at Blenheim. A couple of rooms for the teacher's use were added to the school at Fabian's Valley, and the teacher's residence at Marshlands was enlarged. The Board also purchased a strip of land at Blenheim from the Public Works Department, being the abandoned railway-line. Upon a portion of this the Board's offices and the caretaker's cottage have been erected, and it is intended at some future time to construct a swimming-bath on the remaining portion. A large expenditure was undertaken to improve the schoolgrounds at Blenheim, which have been levelled and graded to allow the water from the frequent floods to pass freely and quickly away This work is still incomplete, and it is proposed to finish it during the current year For some years past it has been the intention of the Board to erect a school at Okaramio in a central position, and to do away with the Birchwood aided school. The difficulty of obtaining a suitable site has hitherto stood in the way, but at the time of writing this difficulty has been removed through the generosity of a settler in that neighbourhood, Mr Charles Inman, who has given an acre of land for the purpose, and the erection of the school will be proceeded with at once. The large increase in the attendance at the Canvastown School calls loudly for increased accommodation the present site, however, is so exceedingly—indeed, dangerously—steep that to enlarge the present building—which is one of the oldest in the district— would be almost impossible. The Board is met here also by the difficulty of obtaining a suitable site, and efforts are being made to obtain one from the Maori reserve across the Wakamarina Biver At Onamalutu the shifting of the population to the upper end of the valley has necessitated the erection of a school on a more central site, which will be secured for the purpose. The small balance on Building Account shown in the Board's balance-sheet will have been exhausted by the time this report is in the hands of the Minister, and the Board hopes that, in view of the many pressing demands for minor works, as well as the three new schools referred to above, the Minister will deal as liberally as possible with the Board when allocating the building vote, and trusts that the amount apportioned to Marlborough will be transmitted with the least possible delay In the earlier days of the Board's existence many schools, and most of the teachers' houses, were built (with a view to economy) of white-pine. Some of these are badly infested with the so-called dry rot, and must at no distant day be rebuilt. Scholarships.—Three scholarships were held during the year 1894, two of these expired at the end of the year, and two were awarded at the beginning of 1895. The reports from the principals at the Boys' and Girls' Colleges at Nelson as to the progress and conduct of the holders of the Board's scholarships have been most satisfactory. The Board is of opinion that the existing methods of awarding scholarships is far from being equitable, inasmuch as the districts having the advantages of secondary schools within their reach are far more liberally provided with scholarships than the smaller districts, where no means of secondary education are available. If all scholarships could be competed for on equal terms, and the competitive examinations could be conducted somewhat on the lines of the Civil Service examinations, the best talents, wherever found, could be thus provided with the means of further development. Under a system of colonial scholarships it would also be possible to reduce the age at which (in some cases) the scholars from the primary are translated to the secondary schools, and to increase the tenure of the scholarships to three, or even four years. If the last-suggested alteration necessitated the granting of fewer scholarships, their real benefit would, on the whole, be much increased. The poorer members of the community, for whose benefit it is presumed the scholarships are mainly provided, can seldom afford to allow their children to continue their scholastic career at the expiration of the two years' tenure, and that time is wholly insufficient to afford the full benefits of secondary education, particularly in the cases of scholars whose previous teaching has been received at primary schools only The almost entire absence of any endowment for secondary education in Marlborough was brought under the notice of the department in a memorandum dated 27th June, 1894, and a similar memorandum was forwarded to the Minister of Lands. It was therein pointed out that, practically, there is no provision for the support of secondary education in Marlborough , that extensive areas of pastoral leases in the district would shortly revert to the Crown and urged that, when disposing of these lands, the just but long-neglected claims of this district should be considered, and a liberal provision made for secondary education. At present the total revenue derived .from secondary reserves applicable to Marlborough amounts to £9 per annum. Under these circumstances, the Board hopes that the claims of this district will be fully recognised and satisfied when the opportunity above referred to arises. The annual returns and the Board's balance-sheet have already been forwarded to the Education Department, as also have the Inspector's reports.

E.—l

The Board entirely agrees with the opinion expressed by its Inspector, that the examination of pupil-teachers should be undertaken by the department. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. A. P Seymour, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib,—- Nelson, 26th March, 1895. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board during the year ending 31st December, 1894. Meetings of the Board.—During the year the Board held nineteen meetings, the average attendance of members at each meeting being 76. At the beginning of the year the members of the Board were as follows, viz. Messrs. H. A. Tarrant (Chairman) G Talbot, E. Hursthouse, C. Dencker, W Lock, A. T Maginnity W H. Phillips, jun., G B. Sinclair and Major W N Franklyn. At the annual election, held on the 14th March, Messrs. W Lock and W H. Phillips, jun., were re-elected, and Mr Philip Best also obtained a ssat on the Board. Schools.—At the end of 1894 107 schools were at work, thirty-two of these being aided or subsidised schools, each receiving a subsidy of £4 per scholar in regular attendance, and most of them in addition a grant of 11s. 6d. per head by way of Committee allowance. Attendance of Scholars.—The total number of scholars on the roll at the end of 1894 was 5,975, the strict average attendance being 4,715, and the working average 4,799. The corresponding numbers for 1893 were On roll, 5,878 , strict average, 4,256 and working average, 4,456. Teaching Staff.—At the end of the year 59 male and 123 female teachers were on the staff, making a total of 182 teachers of all grades. Of these, 41 were classed as probationers, being practically pupil-teachers, but for whose instruction no grant is received from the Education Department. School Buildings.—During the year new schools have been erected at Ngatimoti, Promised Land, and Murchison, and substantial assistance has been given towards the erection by settlers of new schools at Kongahu and Glenroy The most important work in this connection completed during the year was the erection of a central school for boys in the City of Nelson. The funds, however, which the department placed at the disposal of the Board for this building proved so utterly inadequate that the Board was unable to secure a title to the land on which the school stands, and it became necessary to obtain possession of it on a purchase agreement, the sum of £1,300 being still required before the purchase can be completed. The Late Inspector.—During the past year the late Mr W C. Hodgson, who, first as headmaster of our largest city school and subsequently as Inspector, has been connected with the Nelson Education Board for more than thirty-six years, was constrained, owing to failing health, to relinquish his appointment. The news of his resignation was received with most sincere regret, not only by the members of the Board, but by every person interested in the course of education throughout the Provincial District of Nelson. Short, however, was the time granted him to enjoy the leisure he had so well earned, as his death occurred before the termination of the first of the three months' leave which had been heartily accorded him on his retirement. The Board desires to place on record its high appreciation of Mr Hodgson's services, and its heartfelt sympathy with his family in their sudden bereavement. I have, &c, George Talbot, Chairman,

GEEY Sib, — Education Office, Greymouth, 4th March, 1895. In compliance with the provisions of 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 Grey for the year, ending 31st December, 1894 : — The Boaed. —During the year the constitution of the Board has undergone no change. For the vacancies on the Board caused by the retirement of Messrs. Kettle, Kerr, and White, seven nominations were received. The result of the voting was the re-election of the three gentlemen mentioned. At the ordinary meeting, held on the 10th April, Mr William Eobert Kettle was unanimously elected Chairman of the Board for the then current year, and Mr W Cameron Smith, Treasurer During the year the Board held eleven ordinary meetings and two special meetings. The following figures represent the attendances made by each member Mr Kettle (Chairman), 13, Mr White, 13, Mr Marshall, 13, Mr Petrie, 13, Mr McGuire, 13, Mr Smith, 11; Mr Nancarrow, 10, Mr Byrne, 10 , and Mr Kerr, who was necessarily absent during the parliamentary session, 8. Mr Eichard Nancarrow was reappointed as the Board s representative on the Grey High School Board. Inspectorship.—The Board's Inspector Mr. E. T Bobinson, died on the 12th of April, after a lingering illness, and, as the Board found it necessary to exercise the strictest economy as a means of reducing expenditure, it was decided not to fill the vacancy for a few months. At the September meeting of the Board Mr William L. F Fetch, M.A., Cambridge University, was appointed to conduct the annual examination of the schools. Mr Fetch entered upon his duties in October, and finished the examination of the twenty-four schools early in December The Board was so well satisfied with the manner in which Mr Fetch performed the work that at the last January meeting he was appointed permanent Inspector to the Board. Schools and Attendance.—There were twenty-four schools in operation at the close of the year to which this report refers. The teachers in the employ of the Board comprised seventeen males and thirty-seven females, or a total of fifty-four, as compared with fifty-seven at the end of 1893. Of this number, fourteen were pupil-teachers—two males and twelve females. In the matter of attendance the Board has to report a slight falling-off, owing to the great amount of sickness which prevailed during a part of the year The total number of scholars at the end of the year was 1,673, as compared with 1,680 at the close of 1893, thus showing a decrease of seven. The average weekly attendance for the whole year was 1,696, or thirty-two less than for 1893 , while the average ordinary attendance was 1,333, being eighty less than before. It is anticipated, however, that the enforcement of the provisions of the School Attendance Act will have a beneficial effect in the matter of attendance, and to that end a truant officer has been appointed for the Taylorville, Dobson, and Eichardson School Districts, in addition to the one appointed who does duty in the Greymouth School District, Pupil-teachees.—At the examination held in January eleven pupil-teachers sat for examination—two males and nine females —one for admission to Class 1., two for admission to Class 11., four for admission to Class 111., and four for admission to Class IV Of these, ten passed and one failed, the passes being one into Class 1., two into Class 11., four into Class 111., and three into Class IV 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

E.—l

open to scholars attending public schools in the Grey Education District there were fourteen competitors—eight from town schools and six from the country Gertrude Anne Warms and Florence Castle, of the Greymouth District High School, won the first and second town scholarships respectively , and Colin Algie, of the Ngahere School, and Leonard de Berry, of the Dobson School, secured the first and second country scholarships. Committees.—ln two instances—Taylorville and Arnold—the householders failed to elect Committees, whereupon the Board, in the exercise of its powers, appointed Commissioners, with the very best results. The Board has endeavoured to meet the wishes of the Committees in a reasonable manner, and it is satisfactory to state that their co-operation has been readily given. Building Operations.—The Board received during the year £1,497 17s. 7d., including a credit balance of £297 17s. 7d., and expended during the same period £405 3s. lid., leaving a credit balance of £1,092 13s. Bd. Included in the expenditure was £76 3s. 6d. for a new school building at Moana, Lake Brunner, Greymouth School, repairs and improvements, £43 15s. 3d., Eichardson School, clearing ground and repairs, £44 Is. 9d., Cobden School, erecting new fence and general repairs, £42 19s. 6d., Totara Flat, addition to teacher's residence, £19 9s. 6d., Orwell Creek, painting schoolhouse and fence, £15 , Ahaura, repairs to building, £10, Ngahere, erecting new chimney and repairs, £17 os. Bd. Taylorville, repairs, &c, £9 10s., Dobson, repairs, £6 10s. , Maori Gully, addition to teacher's residence, £15 10s. , Kokiri, school site and repairs to building, £16 12s. A suitable site for a school at the Blackball having been acquired by the Board, a contract for the erection of a school building to accommodate sixty children was let in December, which, it is estimated, will cost £300. The Board desires to record, its appreciation of the action of the Government in providing an increased grant during the past year for building purposes. The extra amount received has made it possible to undertake some very urgent and necessary w T orks, some of which —the erection of a school at the Blackball, for instance—have been delayed for the want of funds. On the General Account the Board received during the year £5,238 18s. There was a debit balance of £21 13s. lid. at the beginning of the year The Board expended during the same period £5,292 6s. 10d., leaving a debit balance of £53 Bs. 10d on 31st December The total amount expended on salaries, exclusive of allowances, was £4,566 10s. 4d., and including allowances, £4,596 17s. 10d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. W E. Kettle, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir,— Hokitika, 19th February, 1895. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the yea? ending 31sfc December, 1894. The Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of Messrs. J. McWhirter (Chairman), J Chesney, J Grimmoud, J B. Hudson, McL. W Jack, H. L. Michel, J Staines, J. L. Smith, and J. A. Boys. In March Messrs. Grimmond, Staines, and Jack retired, and were all 11—E 1.

E.-l

re-elected. Mr. McWhirter was reappointed as Chairman, Mr Jack was appointed Treasurer, Mr Grimmond School Commissioner, and Mr Michel representative on the High School Board. In May Mr. Chesney retired, and Mr E. Stennard was elected to fill the vacancy The Board has held twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting. The attendance of members has been as follows Mr McWhirter, 13, Mr Grimmond, 12 , Mr Smith, 12 , Mr Boys, 11, Mr Hudson, 11, Mr Jack, 11; Mr. Michel, 10, Mr Staines, 10 Mr Stennard, 5 , Mr Chesney, 3. Schools.—Throughout the year thirty-four schools have been open. Of these, three are side schools, four half-time, and eleven aided. Of the last, seven are household schools. Attendance.—The total roll-number for the district on 31st December, 1894, was 1,574, a decrease of 59 on that of the previous year The average attendance for the year was 81-7 per cent, of the average roll-number Teachers. —The number of teachers under the Board is sixty-one, including sixteen pupilteachers and one monitor. In accordance with regulations adopted by the Board, the number of pupil-teachers is being gradually reduced, as it has been found possible to thus secure a saving without impairing the efficiency of the schools. At the examination of pupil-teachers held at the end of the year all the fourteen candidates were successful. Scholaeship.—As the result of the annual examination, held in December, scholarships of the value, one of £23, two of £8, and one of £10 10s., were awarded. During the year seven Board's scholars have attended the Hokitika District High School. Finance.—During the year £961 17s. 3d. has been expended in connection with the Building Account. A balance of £840 remains for the expenditure of the present year. A reduction in the staffs of a few schools has been effected during the year On the other hand, the presence of epidemics in the district, and the decrease in the roll-number during the latter half of the year, have considerably reduced the receipts of the Board. It is, therefore, pleasing to state that the overdraft on the General Account has been reduced from £287 9s. to £184 12s. 10d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. John McWhirteb, Chairman.

NOETH CANTEEBUEY Sib,— Christchurch, 30th March, 1895. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of North Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1894: — The Boabd.—The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March, 1894, were Mr T H. Anson, Hon. W. Montgomery, and Mr E. G. Wright, of whom Mr Wright did not present himself for re-election. At an election held on the Bth March, Mr Anson, Hon. Mr Montgomery, and Mr. J Munnings were returned to fill the three ordinary vacancies. At a meeting held on the 19th April, Mr. Meredith was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year At the same meeting, Mr Saunders, Mr Joyce, Hon. Mr. Montgomery, and Mr Peryman were elected members of the Appointments Committee, and Mr Peryman, Mr Adams, Mr Munnings, Mr Anson, and Mr Westenra members of the Buildings Committee. About the middle of the year the Board suffered a severe loss through the death of Mr Anson, which took place on the 14th June. Mr Anson had been a member of the Board since March, 1885, and had three times been re-elected. He had served on both the Appointments and Buildings Committees, and in 1892 was Chairman. The Board unanimously passed a resolution recording its high appreciation of the assiduous attention Mr. Anson always gave to the discharge of his duties, and its sense of the loss the district had sustained through the death of so zealous and trusty a representative. On the 9th August the vacancy on the Board was filled by the election of Mr John Eennie, who on the 6th September was elected

E.—l

to the vacant place on the Buildings Committee. The Board held twenty-seven meetings during the year, six of which were special meetings. The Buildings Committee met twenty-three times, and the Appointments Committee twenty two times. Buildings.—During the year 1894 new school districts were formed at West Lyttelton, Bushside, Hornby, Lowcliffe, Graham's Eoad, and Woodstock, and sites were acquired for schools in the four last-named districts, and also for three schools at Cheviot, which were authorised just before the close of the year A new school was built at Lowcliffe but some difficulties about the sites delayed proceedings at Hornby and Woodstock, tenders for which were not accepted till the sth December. At the date of this report these schools and the school at Graham's Boad have been completed; and the schools at Cheviot, with a new infant school at Woolston, authorised on the 15th November, are in progress. A schoolroom was also built at Porter's Pass, and additions made at Waltham and Methven. Teachers' houses were built at Eiffelton and Botherham, and additions made to the houses at Christchurch West, Greendale, Harewood Boad, Heathcote Valley, Hinds, and Kirwee, and considerable repairs or improvements to the schools at Ashburton, Brookside, Christchurch West, Fernside, Greenpark, Lakeside, Bangiora, Tai Tapu, Teddington, and Woolston. The money granted for buildings has been spent with great care, and with due regard to the most pressing wants of the various school districts. But there were many school buildings and teachers' residences required which the Board could not undertake, owing to the want of the necessary funds , and therefore the Board wishes to bring under the notice of the Government the absolute necessity of an increased grant for the current year. The total expenditure on buildings was £5,196 19s. 9d., and the liabilities at the end of the year amounted to £3,322. Maintenance. —The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances during the year 1894 amounted to £56,346 11s. 6d., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £6,958 Is. 2d., making a total of £63,304 12s. Bd. The working average for the year was 17,680, but the average of the four quarters, beginning with the December quarter of 1893, on which payments were actually made, was 17,578. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore £3 4s. ljd., and the cost of maintaining the schools, including incidental expenses, was £3 125., per head. The following table gives the amounts spent in salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878 [not all reprinted]:— Year. Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. £ s. a. £ b. a. s a. 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 1893 56,291 15 9 6,871 14 10 63,164 10 7 1894 56,346 11 6 6,958 1 2 63,304 12 8 The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1894 (besides 43 sewingmistresses) was 548. Of these, 208 (150 males and 58 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge , 159 (36 males and 123 females) were assistants , and 181 (49 males and 132 females) were pupil-ceachers. Attendance. —The number of school districts at the end of the year 1894 was 166, and the number of separate schools was 182. Of the latter, six—viz., Clarence Bridge, Gough's Bay, McKenzie, Montserrat, Porter's Pass, and Spotswood—were aided schools, those at McKenzie and Spotswood having been opened in anticipation of the schools about to be established. The aided school at Godley Head was closed during the year, and the former aided school at Lowcliffe was changed into a district school. The schools were classified as follows Under 15 pupils, eleven , 15 and under 20 pupils, nineteen , 20 and under 25 pupils, sixteen 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty, 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty ,75 and under 100 pupils, fifteen 100 and under 150 pupils, fifteen, 150 and under 300 pupils, twelve, 300 and under 500 pupils, nine, 500 pupils and upwards, five. Beturns 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 r> R n Average -□ , 31st December, Schools.

In consequence of changes that have since taken place, the scale then adopted had become rather too expensive, so that nearly all the capitation allowance was absorbed in the cost of maintaining the schools, leaving an insufficient amount for inspection, general administration, and other items of the Board's ordinary expenditure. It was also found that too many pupil-teachers were employed, with the result that the supply of teachers was exceeding the demand, and an annually-increasing number were unable to find engagements. The Board set up a committee to consider how these defects might be remedied. The committee went exhaustively into the whole question, and on the 31st May presented a report recommending a new scale of staff and salaries, which, with one or two amendments, was adopted. On the 24th July the work was completed by the adoption of a scale for the four large city schools, which had not been included in the committee's report. Its principal features are a large reduction in the number of pupil-teachers, the employment of assistant mistresses instead of pupil-teachers in schools with an average of from 36

E.—l

to 41, and the introduction of a staff allowance modelled on that of Otago in schools with an average above 150. It is hoped that the new arrangement will bring the Board's ordinary expenditure fairly within the income, with the necessary margin for contingencies, and will turn out no greater number of teachers than are likely to obtain appointments in a reasonable time. In the latter part of the year a change was made in the pupil-teacher regulations, more exactly defining the Board's intentions with regard to payment for the instruction of pupil-teachers in the largest schools. The question of corporal punishment engaged the Board's attention during the year, especially as to the substitution of a strap for the cane as an instrument of punishment, and the corporal punishment of girls. Inspection.—The Inspectors' report for the year 1894, with the usual statistical information and tables, giving the results of the year's examinations, accompany this report. The returns show that the schools are generally well conducted, and are doing satisfactory work. A particularly gratifying feature is the steady increase in the number of children in the higher standards, with a proportionate reduction in the number of those who still remain in the lower division Eight years ago only 17 per cent, of the total roll-number had passed the Third Standard, four years ago the proportion had risen to 22 per cent., and in 1894 it was 30 per cent. This increase is creditable to the efficiency of the mistresses who have charge of the lower standards, and is a proof that every year more and more of the children in the district are gaining the full benefits of our educational system. Normal School. —The number of students who went through the course of training in the Normal School and obtained training certificates was forty-four—sixteen males and twenty-eight females. Of these, one passed for Class C, fifteen out of sixteen presented passed the matriculation examination , and all, with three exceptions, passed entirely or in all but one subject the examination for teachers' certificates. The practising school had a very successful year The Inspector's report was highly satisfactory, showing that in every department the school was in a most efficient condition. On the Ist September a change occurred in the staff of the boys' department through the resignation of Mr Pitcaithly who had accepted an appointment in another district. The Board decided on promoting Mr Aschman and Mr Evans to be first and second assistants respectively, and on the Bth October appointed Mr. J E. Sinclair, then assistant master at Southbridge, to be third assistant master Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held on the 18th December and following days. The number of competitors for the junior scholarships was 145 (79 boys and 66 girls), and for the senior scholarships the number was 14 (9 boys and 5 girls). Of the 145 competitors for junior scholarships, 91 came from schools defined in the Board's regulations as town schools, and 54 from country schools. The results showed an exactly equal division of the scholarships, each class of schools sending up the winners of six. The scholarships current at the end of 1894 were held as shown in the following table [not reprinted] I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. E. Meredith, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTEBBUBY Sic, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1895. I have the honour to submit herewith the report of the Education Board for the District, of South Canterbury for the year ending with the 31st day of December, 1894. Boaed. —At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members Messrs. S. W Goldsmith (Chairman), Melville Gray, William Barker Howell, John Talbot, John Jackson, Bobert Henry Pearpoint, George Henry Graham, Bey Joseph White, and Bey. George Barclay (who was elected in January to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. George Hampton Bhodes) The three members retiring by rotation in March were Messrs. John Talbot, Melville Gray, and B. H. Pearpoint. Four candidates were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies—Messrs. Talbot, Gray, Pearpoint, and Mr Charlton Simon Eraser; and the voting resulted in the re-election of the three retiring members—Messrs. Talbot, Gray, and Pearpoint. Twelve meetings of the Board were held during the year, the day of meeting being the first Thursday in each month, at 11.15 a.m., number present at each meeting being on the average for the year 6 - 33, one member of the Board, Mr GH. Graham, having been granted six months' leave to England on private affairs. 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 last year, with the exception of the architect, Mr E. M. Blake, A.8.V.1.A., who was appointed to succeed Mr. Daniel West. Schools.—At the end of the year there were sixty-two full-time schools in operation, whilst there were three new ones in course of erection —Kapua, Orari Gorge, and Pareora Village Settlement, and the Otaio School has been reopened. The Orari Gorge school building has been presented to the Board by Mr. C. G. Tripp, and a site therefor of 2 acres has been granted by the Mount Peel Boad Board, to which the building is being removed. Eor the Pareora Village Settlement School the Board, under exceptional terms, has purchased a site of 4 acres from the NewZealand and Australian Land Company At Kapua the school is being erected on the site reserved by Government for that purpose. The classification of the sixty-two schools is as follows Under 25 pupils, thirteeen between 25 and 50 pupils, twenty-eight, between 50 and 100 pupils, fourteen, between 100 and 300 pupils, five , between 300 and 500 pupils, one ; above 500 pupils, one. Number of aided schools, thirteen. There were twenty-five Maori or half-caste scholars attending at six schools—viz*, Glenavy, Geraldine Flat, Waihao, Waimate, Timaru Side, and Pleasant Valley Finance.—The Building Account shows a balance credit to the end of the year of £263 14s. lid., with liabilities amounting to £1,045 16s. 6d., besides other urgent works intended to he carried out amounting to upwards of £600, but not yet tendered for Besides these sums the Board has to provide for the usual contingencies in the way of grants to School Committees, to meet exceptional and unforeseen demands. The Maintenance Account for the period ending with the 31st December shows a credit of £1,472 Bs. 6d., or, deducting what is due by School Committess in contribution towards the maintenance of aided schools, shows a balance to credit of £1,316 6s. 6d. Buildings.—The principal works executed by the Board were the completion and furnishing of the Hannaton School, the furnishing of the Station Creek School, building a residence at Ashwick Flat, completing Burkes Pass repairs, building a residence at Cave, painting and repairing Claremont, repairs and furniture to Fairview, extra furniture for Geraldine, closets for Hazelburn, repairs and painting at Makikihi, closets and range at Milford, repairs and maps at Upper Otaio, new pump at Pareora, repairs at Pleasant Point, furniture at Pleasant Valley, repairs at Bangitata Island, pump at Pakihi, repairs and gate at St. Andrews, completion of house at Scotsburn, enlargement of school at Silverstream, enlargement of school at Te Moana, partition, fencing, and repairs at Timaru Main, fencing at Timaru Side, furniture and repairs at Temuka, repairs at Totara Valley, fencing at Waitaki, repairs at Wai-iti, furniture and repairs at Waimate, new verandah at Waitohi Flat, fencing, painting, and repairs at Washdyke , repairs after storm at Woodbury, repairs and furniture at Waimataitai, besides a number of small grants in aid to School Committees, maps, and wall plates. The Board has to thank the School Committees again 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 paid to the interests of education and the welfare of their districts , and the Board can again congratulate itself on the harmony which has existed between School Committees, the teachers, and the Board. PuPiL-TEACHBES.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in the first week in July, when forty-one pupil-teachers and thirteen candidates for employment presented themselves. Of the forty-one pupil-teachers, four failed—two in the fourth year, one in the third, and one in the first. Of the candidates for employment, two passed in the second year's examination, and two failed, five in the first year passed, and four failed. Distbict High Schools.—A special report of the secondary work of the District High Schools was submitted to the Board by the Inspector and ordered to be printed. From this report it appears that twenty-six scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and five at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algebra. The Waimate High School Board continues its grant of £75 per annum towards the teaching of the secondary subjects in the Waimate District High School. This report, under ordinary circumstances, should have been signed by the late Mr. Samuel William Goldsmith, who for nearly ten years has been the respected Chairman of this Board. But, to the great regret of his fellow-members, the School Committees, the teachers, and the district generally, Mr Goldsmith died, after a short illness, on the 17th of February last, having been only twice absent from his post through all the years he has served the Board. Ample testimony has been afforded of his ability as Chairman, and of the general respect in which he was held by all classes of the community I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. William Babkeb Howell, Chairman,

OTAGO Sir, — Education Office, Otago, 21st March, 1895. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1894 : — Board. —At the beginning of the year the following members constituted the Board : The Hon. John Macgregor, Messrs. Donald Borrie, Michael Fraer, Henry Clark, Andrew McKerrow, John J Bamsay, Thomas Mackenzie, James Green, and Dr Stenhouse. Messrs. Borrie, Fraer, and Macgregor retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Seven candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of the Hon. John Macgregor, and the election of Messrs. Mark Cohen and John F M. Fraser. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Mr James Green was elected Chairman. The Board held twenty-seven meetings during the year Messrs. Henry Clark and Michael Fraer were reappointed members of the Board of Governors cf the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr Donald Borrie was reappointed a member of the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr James Green continues to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Eeserves. Number of Schools.—On the 31st December, 1893, there were 202 schools in operation in the district. In the course of the year schools were opened at Ashley Downs, Katea, Manuka Island, and Wyllie Crossing. There were consequently 206 in operation at the end of the year, being an increase of four schools for the year In addition to the schools opened during 1894, the Board has sanctioned the establishment of schools at Chasland's Mistake, Makarora (head of Lake Wanaka), Merino Downs, Pomahaka Downs, and Bough Eidge, and buildings are now in course of erection in each of these districts. Several applications for the establishment of schools are still under consideration. The following shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance Under 15 pupils, nineteen, 15 and under 20 pupils, twenty-one, 20 and under 25 pupils, twenty-one , 25 and under 50 pupils, fifty-six, 50 and under 75 pupils, thirty-four , 75 and under 100 pupils, thirteen , 100 and under 150 pupils, thirteen, 150 and under 300 pupils, ten, 300 and under 500 pupils, eight, 500 and upwards, eleven total, 206. There are three subsidised schools included in the above. Teachers.' —There were in the Board's service on the 31st December 521 teachers—2lB males, 305 females—classed as under : Male head teachers, 81; male teachers in sole charge, 55, male assistant teachers, 53, male pupil-teachers, 29, female teachers in sole charge, 70, female mistresses, 81, female assistants, 59 , female pupil-teachers, 70, female sewing-teachers, 25. There is not now in the Board's service an uncertificated teacher The supply of fully trained and certificated teachers is at present considerably in excess of the demand, several young teachers, both male and female, being unable to obtain employment. Pupil-teachers.—At the end of the year there were ninety-nine pupil-teachers in the service of the Board. The annual examinations were held as usual in the month of December The following table shows the number that went up for examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed :— Presented. Passed. Failed. Exempted. Absent. First class 13 13 4 1 Second class .. .. ..14 13 1 Third class .. .. 31 26 5 2 Fourth class ... ... .. 32 30 2 2 90 82 8 8 1

E.-l.

It is again to be stated that for only a very small proportion of those who offer themselves as applicants for pupil-teacherships can positions be found. For the last two years there have been fully five times as many candidates as there were positions to fill. 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 : —

The numbers for the year show an increase in the average attendance of 536 on that of last year, and an increase of 1,464 in the number that attended at all during the year It will be seen from the foregoing table that the number of pupils attending the city schools is year by year falling off. This is accounted for by the circumstances that families are settling in the suburbs, where increased tramway facilities, lower rents and taxes, offer advantages which are not to be got within the city The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools in the district was as follows Maoris —8 males, 8 females, half-castes living as members of Native tribes—l 3 males, 7 females, half-castes living among Europeans—2o males, 18 females . totals—4l males, 33 females. Number of schools in' which there were Maori and half-caste scholars, 8. Inspection.—All the schools were examined except one which was closed when the Inspector was examining in its neighbourhood, and nearly all were inspected. The few that were not inspected were closed when the Inspectors were working through the parts of the district in which they are situated , 22,444 children were presented for examination, of whom 14,495 were examined in one or other of the standard classes, 7,117 in the preparatory class, and 489 in what is now called Class X. Of those examined in the standard classes, about 88 per cent, passed the standards for which they were presented. The average ages at which the standards were passed are in Standards 111., IV., V., and VI. lower by two months, and in Standard 11. by three months, than those of the same classes in 1893. There is no change in the average age of Standard I. The number of children over eight years of age not presented for examination in Standard I. is 1,270. In most cases what appeared to be satisfactory reasons were assigned for their retention in the preparatory class. Owing to his having accepted the position of Chief Inspector for the Auckland District, the Board, about the middle of the year, lost the valuable services of Mr Petrie, who had spent the best part of his life in the interests of education in Otago. For nearly twenty-five years he laboured with unflagging industry and zeal to advance the cause of education in this district, and he has left behind him a record of able and honourable service. As soon as possible after Mr Petrie's retirement the Board appointed Mr. W S. Fitzgerald an Inspector To lighten the labour of examination the Board, at their meeting in May, instructed the Inspectors to discontinue the individual standard pass examination in Standards 1., 11., and 111., and upon this basis the city and suburban schools were examined. In the meantime the department, by an Order in Council, directed that the standard passes in Standards I. and 11. shall be assigned by head teachers and those of Standards 111. to VI. by Inspectors. The Board thereupon withdrew its instruction to the Inspectors, and directed them to conduct the examination according to the new departmental regulations. This they at once did, and it will be observed from their report not only that the plan is working well, but that the Inspectors desire to see it extended to Standard 111. Scholaeships.—Twenty-nine scholarships—fifteen junior and fourteen senior—were awarded at the December examination. In all, 161 candidates competed—fifty for the senior, and 111 for the junior, scholarships. Fifteen junior and eighteen senior competitors gained free education at the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools. There are at present sixty-eight pupils receiving free education at the High Schools under the scholarship scheme. The amount expended on scholarships was' Paid to holders, £1,234 11s. 2d.; examination expenses, £35 os. Id.: total, £1,269 11s. 3d. School of Act and Design.—The classes were attended during the year by 823 students—• 94 teachers and pupil-teachers, 51 students in training, 95 students attending the day class, and 83 students attending the evening classes. The Board has during the year given a good deal of attention to this institution, and several alterations have been made in its working, and additions made to its staff, with the view of increasing its usefulness, The staff has been increased by the

appointment of a teacher of painting, a teacher of building construction, and a teacher of machine construction. The school was last year affiliated to the South Kensington Science and Art Department, and the first examination for diplomas in connection with the department was held in July last. The results have just come to hand, and are as follows: —

The cost of the school for the year was Salaries, £545, incidental expenses, £41 11s. 6d. total, £586 11s. 6d. Amount received for fees, £123 9s. 6d. Net cost, £463 2s. Tkaining College.—On the 13th of August the Board decided to abolish the Training College, and the members of the staff received notice that their services would be dispensed with at the end of February, 1895. The Eector, Mr Fitzgerald, was appointed to the vacant position of Inspector of Schools. Mr Simmers, the tutor, received the appointment of headmaster of the Ashburton High School. As Mr Fitzgerald entered upon his duties as Inspector in August there is no report from him on the working of the school. The most important particulars relating to the institution are given in the following table: — Students in course of 1894— M. F Total. Left during 1894 — M. F Total. Eemaining from 1893 22 38 60 Teaching in public schools 5 22 27 Admitted during 1894 12 28 40 Teaching in other schools 15 6 Left during 1894 18 34 52 Awaiting appointment 5 5 10 On the books, December, 1894 16 32 48 On leave at the University 7 2 9 The cost of the institution for the year was Salaries, £890 16s. Bd., allowances to students, £737 15s. 10d., incidentals, £2 17s. total, £1,631 9s. 6d. Finance. —The sum expended in teachers' salaries (including bonuses on classification and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers) was £60,388 os. sd. The sum paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £4,556 11s. sd. The sum expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of schools, and the purchase of sites, was £7,029 15s. 4d. Teuancy.—From the following statement a rough estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy Cases investigated, 215, notices served on parents or guardians under section 91 of " The Education Act, 1887," and section 5 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," 186 , summonses served on parents or guardians under section 9.2 of " The Education Act, 1877," and section 5 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," 107 , orders of Court obtained, 20, penalty summonses issued (dealing with parents or guardians who had disobeyed the order of the Court), 20. Under the above twenty penalty summonses there were eighteen convictions, viz. One defendant was fined ss. (and costs 17s. 6d.), one was fined ss. (without costs), twelve were fined 2s. 6d., three were fined Is., and one was ordered to come up for sentence when called upon. During the last three months of the year operations have been carried out under " The School Attendance Act, 1894," a measure passed at last session of Parliament superseding most of the compulsory attendance enactments previously in force, and substituting for them clauses in some" respects of a more exacting character With the alterations introduced by the new measure the Board is, on the whole, in thorough accord. The greater stringency which it imposes in respect of the minimum number of attendances should have a very salutary effect on careless and culpably indulgent parents, while the fixing of a weekly instead of a monthly minimum number of attendances is a change that will simplify very greatly the practical working of the Act. In this district delinquents are now dealt with every month, under the previous Acts prosecutions could be carried out only every three months, thus causing serious loss of time, and in many cases rendering the proceedings utterly futile. The Board's experience of the new Act is such as to justify the opinion that, though it yet possesses a slight but important defect, it is on the whole a sound and practical measure, and one that, if administered with wisdom and moderation, will prove efficacious in securing the fairly regular attendance even of those children whose progress in the paths of learning is sorely retarded by unfortunate home circumstances. The defect alluded to lies in the omission to cast upon the parent or guardian of the irregular attender the onus of proving that the child is sick. A provision to this effect has been in operation since 1885, and it is clear that the Legislature in framing the present Act intended to maintain this provision intact. A certain looseness that has crept into the wording of clause 7 has, however, had the effect of defeating this intention. In cases of irregular attenders brought under this clause before the Court at Dunedin, the Stipendiary Magistrate has ruled that the Act is on this point decidedly weak, and has, before giving judgment against the parents, demanded positive evidence of the children's physical fitness to attend school. Whilst calling the Minister's attention to this flaw, the Board expresses the hope that he will take early steps to have it remedied.

Though the Act holds liable to summary conviction and fine the parents of all children who attend less than six times in any week in which the school is open at least nine times, it must not be supposed that advantage is taken of this provision to unduly harass or annoy all and sundry who fall at any time within its scope. Moderation and tact must ever be the truant officer's watchword and in Dunedin and suburbs his procedure in separating innocent from culpable parents is ordinarily as follows At the end of every month he is furnished by each headmaster with a list of those pupils who have failed to make the requisite number of attendances. After conference with the headmasters, all cases in which sickness is known to be the cause of the absence are struck out, as are all cases where the lapse is an isolated one, and not thought likely to recur, doubtful cases are specially inquired into, and only those are dealt with in Court in which the offence is of a more flagrant character, and for which no sufficient cause is either known to the headmaster or can be readily ascertained. This procedure, of course, applies mainly to that class of children described in the Act as irregular attenders. For information with respect to those children who are habitual truant-players, and who, through not being on any school roll, are unknown to the teachers, the officer has to rely almost entirely upon his own alertness and observation. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. P G. Pryde, Secretary

Bepoet op the Akt Master. Sir,— I have the honour to submit my annual report on the School of Art and Design for the year 1894. During the past session the same course of instruction has been pursued as heretofore. The total number of students who received instruction during the past year was 323, showing a decrease of 19 since last year This total includes 94 teachers and pupil-teachers, 51 students in training, 95 students who attended the day classes, and 83 students who attended the evening classes. At the December examination the total number of students and pupil-teachers examined in the second grade was as follows : —

The Science and Art Department, South Kensington, examination took place on the 13th and 14th July, with the following result: —

The students from the School of Mines passed the local examination with credit, seven having passed first class and two second class, details of which were forwarded to Professor Ulrich, Director of the School of Mines. The interest taken by the students in the science and art examinations is evident in their studies and in their anxiety to profit to the utmost during the limited time at their disposal. The pupil-teachers and students in training did excellent class-work, and passed their examinations with credit. The work of the day classes was fully up to the average of past years, the studies from life and sketches from nature show considerable progress in method and execution. In the various evening classes the progress was satisfactory, this being perhaps most noticeable in the outline drawing from ornament and in the drawing in light and shade from the antique. On Saturdays a number of country school teachers attended for the purpose of improving their drawing, but owing to some irrregularities the railway authorities withdrew the privilege of reduced fares extended to country school teachers, and so prevented them from continuing their studies.

SOUTHLAND. Sib, — Education Office, Invercargill, Ist March, 1895. In compliance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1894 :— Mbmbbbs op the Boaed.—At the commencement of the year the members constituting the Board were Mr George Froggatt (Chairman), Messrs. James W Bain, Alfred Baldey, George Lumsden, James Mackintosh, Eobert McNab, Thomas Mac Gibbon, George McLeod, and D L. Matheson. In accordance with section 15 of the Education Act, the three retiring members were Messrs. Lumsden, Matheson, and McNab, each of whom was duly nominated for another term of office, and, at the election, held in March, re-elected for a further period of three years. At the April meeting of the Board Mr James Mackintosh, M.H.R., was elected Chairman for the ensuing year Messrs. James W Bain and Robert McNab, M.A., LL.B., were re-elected the Board s representatives on the Board of Governors of the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools, the former also representing the Board as a Commissioner of the Otago and Southland Education Reserves. Meetings op the Boabd. —During the year there were held one special and twelve ordinary meetings of the Board, at each of which the very satisfactory attendance of members registered evidences a keen interest in the general business of the Board. There were also held twenty-five meetings of the Executive Committee, the special function of which is to sift out and deal primarily with the greater part of the ordinary business of the Board. In this Committee is vested the special power of making appointments of teachers and of accepting tenders for works, subject to formal confirmation by the Board at subsequent meetings. The attendances of members at meetings of the Board and Executive Committee respectively were as follows Board meetings—Messrs. Bain, Baldey, Froggatt, Mac Gibbon, and Matheson, 13 , Messrs. Lumsden and McLeod, 12, Mr Mackintosh, 10 , and Mr McNab, 8. The two latter being members of the House of Representatives, were necessarily absent from several meetings while Parliament was in session. Executive Committee meetings—Messrs. Froggatt and Lumsden, 23; Messrs. Baldey and McLeod, 22 , Mr Mcßain, 21; Messrs. Mac Gibbon and Matheson, 20, Mr McNab, 14, Mr Mackintosh, 12. The average attendance of members at meetings of the Board and Executive Committee was 8-2 and 7 respectively.

Schools. —At the close of the year 1893 there were in active operation in this district 125 schools. During the year 1894 six new schools were established, at Ardlussa, Koromiko, Pyramid Siding, Waipounamu, Waikawa Valley (a half-time school, worked in conjunction with Quarry Hills), and Fairfax, the last mentioned as an experiment for a period of twelve months. The school formerly in operation at South Forest Hill, but closed in the year 1892 on account of meagre attendance, has been reopened. The operation of these changes increases the number of schools in this education district to 132 at the close of the year to which this report has reference. According to the average attendance at each, the schools under the Board were classified as follows, two half-time schools being reckoned as one Under 15 pupils, nine, 15 and under 20 pupils, nine 20 and under 25 pupils, twenty 25 and under 50 pupils, forty-eight, 50 and under 75 pupils, fifteen 75 and under 100 pupils, nine, 100 and under 150 pupils, seven, 150 and under 300 pupils, eight, 300 and under 500 pupils, nil, 500 and upwards, two total, 127 In consequence of the sparse and scattered nature of the population in many places, eighteen schools have an average attendance below twenty, the teachers of which are supported by a capitation grant of £4 per pupil, while, of the total number of schools in operation, ten are worked on the half-time principle, the teacher in such cases working six days a week— i.e., three days at each school. The demand for the extension of educational privileges continues as urgent as in past years. Since the year 1885 forty-seven new schools have been opened in this district, and it may be said that in every instance the result has fully justified their establishment. The present steady progress of settlement gives indication that not yet has the end come, the Board must therefore prepare for still further demands on its resources. Attendance.—lt is, perhaps, difficult to overestimate the importance of the subject of regular attendance at our public schools. So much, both from a financial and educational standpoint, depends on the degree to which the parents of pupils manifest a practical interest in this subject. Ib is indeed but a truism to state that at least moderately regular attendance is an indispensable condition to progress in school work. The Act of last session of Parliament to promote regular attendance at public schools is certainly a step in advance of previous legislation on this subject, but, in the opinion of this Board, it does not yet go far enough. The responsibility of prosecuting parents and guardians for the non-attendance of their children at school is still virtually left in the hands of School Committees. The initial steps to compel attendance require to be instituted by the Committee of the district, or its duly-accredited agent, which fact simply means that no action will be taken in the vast majority of cases, no matter how flagrant the breaches of the law which may occur Committees will not, as a rule, undertake the disagreeable duty of instituting legal proceedings against, it may be, some of their nearest neighbours, and least of all against their personal friends, and would, the Board is well assured, gladly be rid of such a responsibility Not until this duty is cast on some authority outside the pale of merely local influences will the intention of the Legislature be realised in this matter The benefits to be derived from the appointment of truant officers, unless such officers are endowed, under direction of their employers, with the power of prosecution, will be to a large extent nullified. The mean number on the school rolls in this district for the four quarters of the year 1893 was 9,280, with a strict average attendance for that period of 7,117 For the year to which this report refers the mean number had increased to 9,460, and the strict average to 7,465, the record for this educational district. This statement shows an increase in the roll-number of 180, and in the average attendance of 348 pupils, the latter a most satisfactory feature. The percentage of average attendance to roll-number is thus almost 79, as against 767 for the preceding year These results may be considered as fairly satisfactory when we take into account the extensive area comprised within the boundaries of this education district, and, in the majority of rural districts, the difficulties with which the pupils have to contend, especially during the winter season. To register an absolutely regular attendance under existing circumstances is for many country pupils probably impracticable but, while this may be true of some pupils, much more might be done towards the attainment of a higher ideal by many parents who are at present careless or indifferent. It should ever be borne in mind that, though the education system is entirely free, it is none the less efficient and valuable on that account. If parents would but realise how heavily the illiterate are handicapped in the present-day struggle for existence, they would require but little stimulus in the direction of securing for their offspring, by a regular attendance at school, the maximum of benefits derivable from our public-school system. The reinstitution of the working average as the basis of payment of capitation grants to Education Boards will, it is hoped, be permanently adhered to by the department. This Board has consistently paid its teachers on such a basis during the past year, and trusts that the necessity will not again arise for a return to the less equitable method of payment according to strict average. Teaching Staff.—At the close of the year there were 226 teachers in the service of the Board, of whom 112 were males and 114 females. These figures indicate an increase of six over the number reported for the preceding year These, according to the appointments held, were classified as follows Principals —13 males; heads of departments —13 females, heads of schools—3s males, 2 females , sole teachers —45 males, 32 females , assistants —11 males, 16 females , pupil-teachers—■ 8 males, 51 females. Generally speaking, the supply of certificated teachers is now fully equal to the demand, and, with the clearly expressed intention of the law as a guide, it is a question whether the Board can consistently retain in its service any but fully qualified teachers in the future. There are still a few in this district to whom this note of warning is specially applicable, and who, if they be wise, and desirous of retaining their positions in the service, will lose no time in securing by examination a legal status to be permitted to pursue their present avocation.

E.—l

Pupil-teachers.—On the 31st December last there were fifty-nine young persons employed under the Board as pupil-teachers—viz., eight males and fifty-one females. Though in this education district the scale of payment made to boys is on a much more liberal basis than that paid to girls in the same class, this branch of the service, for some reason not clearly understood, does not possess such attractions to the former as might reasonably be expected. The proportion of males to females is year by year becoming more unequal—now it is as 63 to I—which seems to indicate that the teaching staff of the future will consist chiefly of women, to whom the profession appears to offer inducements equal, if not superior, to most others open to them. The usual annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June last, the result being as follows : — Presented. Passed. Failed. Total. Class I. .. . 11 10 1 11 „ 11. 8 8 0 8 „ 111. 15 13 2 15 „ IV .. 15 12 3 15 Totals 49 43 6 49 Of the forty-nine candidates who presented themselves, it will be seen that forty-three passed, and six failed. Of the latter, one failed for the second consecutive year, and has since retired from her position in the service. The Inspectors report that the great bulk of the candidates did uniformly satisfactory work , of the rest, some excelled, while others hardly reached the dead level of mediocrity The style of the papers with respect to neatness, arrangement, and handwriting was for the most part commendable. During the year an important alteration in the Board's regulations affecting pupil-teachers was made. Hitherto all applicants for admission to the ranks of pupil-teachers, independent of their scholastic attainments, were required to enter at the lowest grade, and proceed to examination year by year ere they could secure promotion to the next highest class. This rule, it was found, acted with undue harshness towards some who, by qualifying themselves for a higher-class examination, yet derived no advantage therefrom. The regulations as they now stand, however, make provision for the due acknowledgment of greater literary attainments on the part of pupil-teacher applicants. If candidates for employment now possess evidence of having passed the matriculation or teachers' D examination they are allowed to enter the service at the rank and pay of second-class pupil-teachers, and, in like manner those who have succeeded in passing the Junior Civil Service or teachers' E examination are accepted as third-class pupil-teachers, and paid accordingly It is further provided that all such candidates are exempted from attendance at the pupil-teachers' annual examinations, unless in the case of matriculated students or successful Civil Service candidates, who are required to present themselves only in the subjects of school management and drawing included in the pupil-teachers' syllabus, but which form no part of the matriculation or Civil Service examinations. Pupil-teachers already in the service may secure similar advantages and concessions by passing the higher-class examinations before referred to at any time during the currency of their apprenticeship. The effect of these amendments to the regulations will, it is felt, have a tendency to raise the literary status of this branch of the service and the extra expenditure involved, if any will be amply justified by the increased efficiency of the services rendered. Scholaeships.—ln the Board's scholarship regulations it is stipulated that successful candidates shall attend the Southland High Schools during the currency of their scholarships. The first term of the Southland High School commences in February, and, with the view of facilitating a proper classification of pupils in that institution, it was deemed expedient to alter the date of the scholarship examination from June to December in each year Successful scholarship candidates are thus enabled to enter on their advanced studies under more favourable auspices than formerly, and the organization at the High School is not interfered with by an influx of scholarship pupils in the middle of its year's work. Under these altered conditions, the Board, with the consent and approval of the Education Department, was able to extend for a period of six months the term of all scholarships current on the 31st December last. The annual examination was held on the 19th December and following days, when no fewer than eighty-three candidates presented themselves. This is almost double the number that has been present at any previous examination, and is in part accounted for by the Board having this year increased the number of examination centres. Now candidates may present themselves at Invercargill, Biverton, Gore, or Queenstown. An additional reason for the unprecedented increase in the number of candidates this year is to be found in the fact that the Board of Governors of the Southland High Schools had announced their intention to offer free education for a period of three years to a number, not exceeding twenty, of the most successful candidates under a specified age other than those who may be successful in obtaining scholarships. The Inspectors' report shows that twenty-seven candidates gained over 60 per cent, of the maximum number of marks, while the soundness of the work generally is attested by the fact that the great bulk of the candidates were credited with 50 per cent, and over In this district the application of the scholarship scheme has been attended with results of a most satisfactory nature. Great interest in its success is manifested both by teachers and parents. The Board's balance-sheet for the year shows a total expenditure on scholarships of £481 ss. The item " examination expenses " will appear in next year's accounts. School Committees. —It is with great satisfaction that the Board has to report the continuance of the amicable relationship and hearty feeling of co-operation which has since the inception of the present system of education characterized its dealings with the local representatives of the parents and householders. The Board is ever ready to acknowledge that Committees, possessing as they do a full and intimate knowledge of local requirements, as well as a desire to promote the best interests of the schools in their respective districts, are, in consequence, well able to counsel the

E.—l

Board in many matters affecting the educational welfare of the community. Keeping'this fact in view, the Board does not hesitate, in matters of importance, to avail itself to the fullest extent of local information, which Committees are so well able to supply No serious case of friction with any of its School Committees has arisen in this education district for many years. Inspection op Schools.—The progress of education generally throughout the district is exhaustively dealt with in the report of the Board's Inspectors, hence it follows that but little requires to be said on that subject in this report. The practice of reading the examination and inspection reports at each monthly meeting of the Board is still continued. The knowledge of this fact, and the certainty that specially unsatisfactory results in individual schools will receive merited censure, doubtless operate powerfully in securing a stricter attention to duty—on the part of some teachers at any rate. In cases where the Inspectors' criticism of wOrk done during the year is adverse an opportunity is always afforded the teacher of supplying such explanation as he or she may desire to offer, and thus of accounting for unfavourable results which may be produced by circumstances beyond his or her control. The Board, however, recognises that, taken as a whole, the teaching staff in this district is doing faithful and conscientious work. Building Operations.—As years roll on, the Board finds itself restricted in its operations to a greater or less degree by the inadequacy of the annual vote specially passed for school-building purposes. While recognising that for the past two years this district's share of the parliamentary grant for buildings has been allocated on a somewhat more liberal basis than was the case for the immediately preceding period, the Board has to report that the sum annually granted is still insufficient to meet the requirements of a district in many parts of which the progress of settlement still proceeds with unabated vigour Towards the west (Waiau district) and south-east (Waikawa) the unoccupied Crown lands are being rapidly taken up, and the demand for educational privileges (with its consequent expenditure) has been, and will continue to be, such as to tax the Board's financial resources to the utmost. During the year new schools have been erected in the districts of Koroiniko, Ardlussa, Waipounamu, Seaward Moss, Chatton Boad, and Pyramid Siding while the buildings which have hitherto done service at Macetown and Slopedown, and which were past profitable repair, have been superseded by new ones. Additions to the teachers' residences at Wallacetown, Waikaka, Dipton, and to the school building at Winton have also been undertaken. The total sum expended on these works by the Board was £1,292 14s. In addition to the works specified in the foregoing paragraph, the erection of five additional residences, two new school buildings, and several additions to schools and residences in various parts of the district have been authorised, and will form a heavy liability for the now current year The total sum disbursed on account of buildings during the year, inclusive of the sum of £1,292 145., already referred to, is £2,673 12s. Bd. This amount is £277 less than the grant received from the Government for building purposes at the close of the year, but it must be borne in mind that a sum of £250 in excess of income was expended during the preceding year, 1893 , so that, taken together, the income and expenditure for the two years may be said to have almost balanced each other These figures appear to indicate that the Board has been provided with ample funds to meet its building necessities, but this is not so, as the execution of many works, all of a more or less urgent nature, have had to be delayed from a prudent desire on the part of the Board to keep its expenditure in this department, as in the others, strictly within its income. This Board's annual estimates of income and expenditure, already submitted to your department, give an approximate idea of all the works which, to render the education system in this district fully effective, require to be provided for during the current year or as soon thereafter as may be. It may be here mentioned that the Board has deemed it expedient to enter into a contract for the erection of a suite of offices suitable for the transaction of its business. These, when finished, will prove a great convenience to the Board, its officials, and the general public. Income and Expenditure.—The prospects of the Board from a financial point of view continue to be encouraging. At no period of its history has the Board allowed its financial operations to become embarrassed, ever holding that, as an administrative body pure and simple, its only prudent course is to carry out its functions to the very best of its ability, but on no consideration to permit its expenditure to exceed its actual and prospective income. The Board's balance-sheet, duly submitted to and approved by the Controller and AuditorGeneral, is sent herewith, and shows a satisfactory balance to the credit of both Maintenance and Building Accounts. The administration of the year's revenue has been conducted on a sound basis, and, while the total balance to credit is somewhat in excess of that shown in last year's statement, the actual liabilities are much greater than in previous years. The total income of the Board for the year, including a sum of £5,541 lis. sd. brought forward from the previous year's accounts, was £37,832 6s. 9d. The following are the principal items (omitting shillings and pence) from which this aggregate is derived Capitation grants, £24,554 ; Board's share of primary reserves rents, £3,578 , parliamentary grant for buildings for the year 1894-95, £2,950. The balance-sheet shows in the aggregate the various services to which the year's expenditure was applied, while Departmental Beturn No. 7 gives full information respecting the application of the most important items to individual schools and districts. As previously mentioned, the statement of money assets and liabilities shows that greater financial responsibilities (to be met early in the now current year) have been incurred. When provision has been made for actual liabilities the balances to credit of Maintenance and Building Accounts will stand at £1,714 ss. 9d. and £1,306 10s. 7d. respectively, and these show approximately the Board's actual financial position as at the close of the year By order of the Board.

EEPOETS AND ACCOUNTS OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONEES AUCKLAND Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 31st March, 1895. I have the honour to report as follows upon the proceedings of the School Commissioners for the year 1894 : — The reserves let comprise—l 3 sections of town and suburban land, 35 acres 3 roods 24 perches, yielding per annum £30 16s. 3d., 13 sections of country land, 1,605 acres 3 roods 24 perches, yielding per annum £48 16s. In addition to these, two leases were granted of land previously let, at an increase on the old rental per annum of £32 Bs. 4d. thus the gross increase of income during the year was £112 os. 7d. Bents continue to be fairly paid up, notwithstanding the continued depression in farming interests.

WELLINGTON Sib,— Wellington, 15th March, 1895. By direction of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District, I have the honour to forward the Commissioners' sixteenth annual report, being that for the year ending the 31st December, 1894. As stated in last year's report, the School Commissioners held their annual sales in January, 1894, at which they disposed of three sections—viz., one small section of 3 acres, at Karere, for the annual rent of £4 the section (the lease of this section having been determined, in consequence of arrears of rent, by the former lessee) and two country sections—viz., Waitotara, Section 48, 168 acres (this section was abandoned by the former lessee, who left for England in arrear of rent), at Is. per acre, and Mangaone, Section 33, Block IV., 269 acres, at 2s. 6d. per acre. During the year, and subsequent to the sales, the Commissioners have succeeded in letting by tender two sections at Manaia, near Masterton —Sections 9 and 14, 109 acres 2 roods—at an annual rental of £61; these sections were formerly held under lease for twenty-one years, at £41 10s. per annum, and the lease expired on the 30th September, 1894, and were let again to the same tenant for twenty-one years from the Ist October, 1894, with covenant for renewal for a further term of twenty-one years, under the provisions of " The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887 " Thus, by the foregoing transactions, the Commissioners, after making allowance for losses by previous tenants, have increased their annual income to the extent of £43 10s. 6d. In January, 1895, as is their usual custom, the School Commissioners, after having previously announced their intention, in accordance with statutory requirements, offered their unlet reserves for leasing, for twenty-one years, by auction, when, contrary to expectation, not a single offer was received for any one of the sections offered, although the reserves were fully and thoroughly well advertised, and in some instances the upset rentals were reduced to so low an amount as to bring the reserves, one would think, within the reach of all. The School Commissioners are glad to be able to announce that they have at last succeeded in obtaining a schedule of the lands that have been laid off but not yet gazetted to them for this return they have to thank Mr. J H. Baker, Commissioner of Crown Lands, who took the matter up, and put a special officer on for the compilation of the return, for which the Commissioners were very glad to vote him the necessary funds. It is hoped that before next session of Parliament is over all the lands contained in the return may be duly gazetted to the Commissioners, and that they may come forward next year with an array of lands for leasing by auction such as will satisfy the numerous settlers in the neighbourhood of the lands, who have, during the past two or three years, been making inquiry for them. The Commissioners desire to place on record their appreciation of the action of Mr John H. Baker in taking up this matter and bringing it to a successful issue. The Commissioners regret that they cannot utilise any of the reserves specified in the return for purposes of secondary education, and they again direct me to make an urgent appeal to the Government to set aside a sufficient area of land for this purpose while they have statutory power to do so. It will be seen by the accounts that a sum of £57 10s. has been charged this year as the cost of compiling the return referred to herein, but to complete the return a further sum of £8 10s. was required, which has been paid and charged to the account for 1895. I have, &c, J E. Blaie, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Chairman, School Commissioners.

NELSON Sir, — School Commissioners' Office, Nelson, 1895. In accordance with Order in Council dated the 17th December, 1878, and in conformity with circular from the Education Department, 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, 1894, together with a copy of the accounts duly audited. During the year the Commissioners held seven meetings. Owing to the continued depression on the West Coast, and to tenants leaving the district, the Commissioners have been compelled to cancel four leases, and write off £31 6s. primary and £7 10s. secondary arrears. The Commissioners are in hopes that, with renewed prosperity in the Eeefton mines, there may be a demand for land, and they may be able to let the balance of the reserves in that district. In the Westport district there are only seven sections unlet, and these are mostly badly situated. The other reserves unlet are mostly in districts where the land is of a very poor description, or where there is at present little settlement and no demand for land. I have, &c, Cheistian Denckee, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Chairman.

0 ~ ' CANTEEBUEY Sic, — Government Buildings, Christchurch, sth January, 1895. Iβ accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1894, together with a copy of its accounts, duly audited. The total area of the primary-education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1894, was 68,066 acres, producing an annual rental of £16,454 15s. 6d. 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. The fixed deposit of £159 3s. 5d., which matured on the 22nd December, 1894, has, together with £4 received in September last from the Templeton Eoad Board, been placed on deposit for one year, from the 22nd December, 1894. During the year ten reserves, containing in all 1.063J acres, were relet for periods of fourteen years or thereabouts. Of these, nine were let by tender, and the other, of 54 acres, was relet to the old tenant by arbitration. The Board, in August last, asked to be brought under " The Public Bodies' Powers Act, 1887," and in the New Zealand Gazette of the 20th September, 1894, an Order in Council appeared declaring it subject to that Act, and in the following month the Board considered a large number of applications for reduction of rent, and, with respect to nineteen reserves or subdivisions of same, granted a reduction for three years from the Ist November, 1894, and with regard to one reserve to the end of existing lease—viz., four years the total amount of annual reduction granted coming to £381 9s. The greater number of reductions that were made were to lessees of reserves which were subdivided and relet in 1889. Notwithstanding these reductions the rental this year is considerably above last year's, owing to the fact that on some swamp reserves that were subdivided and let for twenty-one years in 1887 a largely increased rent became due at the expiration of the first seven years, and the rent of some tenants doubled on the Ist May last, and to four of these a reduction in the increased rental became necessary, to enable them to carry on. I have, &c, H. E. Webb, Chairman of the School Commissioners. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sic, — Dunedin, 7th May, 1895. In accordance with Order in Council of the 17th December, 1878, and in compliance with circular from the Education Department dated the 10th December last, I have the honour to submit the following report of the School Commissioners of Otago for the year ending the 31st December, 1894 :— During the year twelve regular and two special meetings were held, which, with the exceptions of three occasions during Mr Green's absence on parliamentary duty, were attended by the whole of the Commissioners. During the year the Commissioners leased twenty-four pastoral, forty-eight agricultural, and twenty-one town sections in different parts of Otago and Southland. The total area of the pastoral sections was 26,126 acres, leased to nine tenants, and the annual rent was £736 18s., or 6Jd. per acre. The area of the agricultural sections was 6,803 acres, leased to forty-eight tenants, at £969 3s. Bd., or 2s. 10-Jd. per acre. The town sections contained about 1 rood each, and they were leased to twenty-one tenants, at £41 Bs. 6d. per annum, or an average of £1 19s. 5Jd. each. The total number of tenants on the rent-roll of the Commissioners at the close of 1894 was 840. During the year the sum of £4,000 was advanced on mortgage over freehold rural securities in sums of £500, £1,000, and £2,500, the rate of interest on the first-named amount was 7 per cent., and on the other two 6 per cent. The securities show an ample margin, and, in the event of their falling into the Commissioners' hands, can be treated advantageously as part of the endowment for primary education. The total sum now advanced on mortgage by the Commissioners is £35,825 11s. 7d. Of the amounts shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears on the 31st December, 1894, £1,356 12s. Bd. has been collected during the first quarter of the current year The rents are in every case debited half-yearly in advance, and, as a great number of them do not become due until late in the year, they are not received in time for inclusion in the year's accounts. The continued low price of produce has rendered the prompt collection of rents a matter of extreme difficulty, and this difficulty is intensified in many instances by the fact that the tenants have taken up their holdings at rents considerably in excess of the upsets put upon them. This was the case mainly in connection with the tenants of Blocks 111., IV., and V., Wendonside, which were leased in 1892. Eeferring to the items of £1,275 10s. 6d. and £31 15s. 6d., shown 'in the statement of accounts under the head of expenditure, I desire to explain that £95 was paid to the Southland County Council as a subsidy to road-making, £84 7s. 6d. was expended on draining and improving some of the reserves, and £8 ss. 4d. was paid for rates , while £98 10s. 3d. went to the Government in the shape of train-fares, stamps, telegrams, and telephone—£46 13s. Bd. of this amount representing train-fares of School Commissioners from Southland in connection with their attendance at meetings at Dunedin. The sum of £41 19s. 6d. was received for the preparation of leases by the Commissioners' office staff, and should therefore be deducted from the cost of management. After deducting the foregoing amounts from the figures shown under the head of expenditure, the actual cost o management was £979 3s. 5d., or 5 per cent, on the amount of money collected during the year I have, &c, J P Maitland, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. t
