1896. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord,— Wellington, 26th May, 1896. 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, 1895. I have, &c, W. C. WALKEE. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Glasgow, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT. In this Eeport and its Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Eeport (E.-1a) on the certificate examinations, and in the Eeport of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), will be found all the information that is of public interest with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1877," and " The Education Eeserves Act, 1877." The report contains also the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully treated in separate papers, as follows : E.-2, Native Schools ; E.-3, Industrial Schools, and 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.

first quarter of 1896 is 110,132. Table A shows the annual increments of attendance from the date of " The Education Act, 1877."

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1895.

The degree of regularity with which the pupils attended in 1895 is indicated by the number 81 "4, the highest yet attained. It represents the average attendance of the year expressed as a percentage of the average number of pupils on the roll. In the present case the strict average attendance is 106,622, and the average of the number on the books week by week is 130,942. Table B shows that the highest degree of regularity is to be found in Otago, where on the average only one pupil in seven is absent.

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1895.

A comparison of this table with Table B in last year's report will show that there has been an increase in the number of pupils in every district. The number of Maori children attending the public schools at the end of 1895 was 1,894, as stated in the following table : —

There were at the'same date 2,284 Maori children at Native village schools, and 77 at boarding-schools as Government scholars {vide p. xi. of this Eeport). Statistics of age and sex are given in detail in Table No. 1 (Appendix, p. 1), and in a condensed form in Table C. As usual the boys are more numerous than the girls in the proportion of SLB to 48 - 2. The mean age of the pupils tends always to increase : the children below ten years are now to those above that age as 519 to 48*1; twelve years ago the proportion was 59 to 41.

TABLE C. —Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1895.

The distribution in standard-classes is stated at length in Table No. 2 (Appendix, p. 2), and briefly in Table D. The children below the class preparing for Third Standard are 504 per cent, of the total; twelve years ago such children were 62-9 of the total.

TABLE D. —Classification by Standards, December, 1895.

It is worthy of notice that, although, as has been said, the boys are more numerous than the girls in the proportion of 518 to 48 - 2, the girls preponderate in the class above the Sixth Standard and among the pupils above the age of

fifteen. They are below 482 per cent, in the preparatory and First-Standard classes; in the Third-Standard class they are nearly equal in number to the boys (as 49"61 to 50*39); and in the class above the Sixth Standard they are to the boys as 5187 to 4813. They are between 48 and 49 per cent, at all ages except between 5 and 6, between 9 and 10, between 12 and 13, in all which cases they fall below 48 per cent.; but among the pupils above the age of 15 they are 50*29 per cent. The figures contained in Table E differ but little from the corresponding figures of the preceding year. They show that the average age of the pupils at the time of their passing the First Standard is about nine, and that at the time of their passing the Sixth Standard their age is about fourteen, the intermediate ages from ten to thirteen corresponding very nearly to the passing of the intermediate standards from the Second to the Fifth.

TABLE E. —Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1895.

As shown in Table F, the total of the numbers of the children on the rolls at the time of the examinations of their several schools was 127,962. There were 39,823 (31 "1 per cent.) in classes below the First Standard class, and 2,006 (I*6 per cent.) who had previously passed the Sixth Standard; 83,230 (65 per cent.) were present in the standard classes at examination time, and 2,903 (2*3 per cent.) were absent from those classes; of the pupils (83,230) present in the standard classes, 70,287 passed and 12,943 failed. The number of passes (70,287) is 54*93 of the number (127,962) on the rolls, and 8445 per cent, of the number (83,230) of the examined; these percentages are the highest yet recorded.

The cases of failure among 83,230 examined in standards being 12,943, it may be said that 15 - 55 is the percentage of failures. Using the term in this sense, the percentage of failures for each separate standard can be derived from the numbers stated in Table GK with the following result: Percentage of failures in Standard L, 4-54; 11., 8-23; 111., 19-58; IV., 23-46 ; V., 23-88; VI., 15-58.

TABLE G.—Passes.

The statistics of standard passes throw some light on the actual number of the individual pupils who at some time or other during the year attended at the public schools. Table B read by itself would convey an exaggerated idea of this number. Since it is there shown that the number on the roll at the beginning of 1895 was 119,000, and that 48,344 names were enrolled during the year, it might be supposed that 168,244 individual pupils had attended, and that the number of pupils that actually left school in twelve months was 45,778 (38,388 as stated in the table, plus 7,400, which is the difference between the roll-number at the end of 1894 and the roll-number at the beginning of 1895). The truth is, however, that the high number of the admissions and withdrawals is largely due to removals from school to school, and to long absences involving re-registration. It is not likely that the number of new entries in any one year greatly exceeds 15,000; the largest number of pupils enumerated in any line of Table C, where the classification is according to age with intervals of a year, is 15,043. By taking account of the passes into any standard class from below and of the passes out of that class into the next above, and by comparing thei numbers in that class in two successive years, it is possible to ascertain the minimum of assured leakage, or of clear increase, as the case may be. A calculation of this kind makes it certain that in 1895 at least 15,853 really neW pupils must have entered the preparatory and First Standard and Second Standard classes, and that at least 13,297 must have left the primary schools altogether. These 13,297, divided according to the standards last passed by them, stand as follows: Sixth Standard, 5,177 (or 3893 per cent, of 13,297); Fifth Standard, 2,205 (or 1658 per cent.); Fourth Standard, 2,927 (or 22*01 per cent.); Third Standard, 1,760 (or 13:24 per cent.); Second Standard, 1,228 (or 9 - 24 per cent.).- Any error arising from the manifest insufficiency of the data has the effect of making the pupils appear to leave earlier than they actually do leave. Three years ago the percentages ascertained by a similar calculation were (in the same order) 31J, 111, 22, 20, and 9. The next Table (H) presents in another point of view facts which an expert might deduce with sufficient accuracy from Table D.

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

• • • Public Schools and Teachers. The number of schools and the number of teachers are greater in proportion to the number of pupils than they were a year ago. The number of schools at the end of the year was 1,464. In this enumeration, 52 half-time schools, with 26 masters, are reckoned as 26 schools.

TABLE J. —Number of Schools, December, 1895. (In this enumeration every couple of half-time schools is reckoned as one school, except in the column for number of such schools.)

The number of teachers at the end of the year was 2,366 (showing an increase of 106); of pupil - teachers, 1,020 (decrease, 26); and of sewingmistresses, 190 (increase, 14). Their distribution according to their school status, and according to sex, is shown in Table K. It will be seen that there is a growing preponderance of women, and that there is a fall in the number of pupil-teachers.

As a result of the examination of January, 1895, the number qualified by examination has been raised to 2,144, or 90J per cent.; the amended statement showing 68 cases of "partial pass," 34 of "failure," and 120 of "unexamined." In 1890 the proportion of the duly qualified by examination was less than 83J per cent. The report of the last January examination (1896) is in a separate paper, E.-la. Education Boards. The reports and accounts of the several Boards are hereto appended (Appendix, pp. 61-94). A conspectus of the accounts appears in the Appendix (pp. 4, 5).

have a credit balance in the Building Account, but a debtor balance in the Maintenance Account; with five Boards the reverse case holds; and one Board has a deficiency on both accounts. On the whole, the credit balances (£23,273 18s. 2d.) exceed the debit balances (£5,653 13s. 5d.) by £17,620 4s. 7d. As the corresponding balance of the preceding year was only £4,587, it follows that the Boards have improved their financial position during the year to the extent of more than £13,000. Grants were made from the School Buildings votes of 1895 as follows: Auckland, £7,800; Taranaki, £1,700; Wanganui, £3,900; Wellington, £4,700; Hawke's Bay, £2,600; Marlborough, £1,000; Nelson, £2,200; Grey, £1,000; Westland, £750; North Canterbury, £6,850 ; South Canterbury, £1,700 ; Otago, £6,600; Southland, £2,850. The Boards continue to find the grants for school buildings inadequate to their needs. Ten Boards out of the thirteen refer to this question in their reports (Appendix, pp. 61-94). Table Q shows that there is an increase in the number of overcrowded schools (from 42 to 51), and that the numbers of schools without residences, and of schools that meet in buildings that do not belong to Boards, have been reduced. Schools with average attendance below ten have not been taken into account in compiling this table.

TABLE Q. —Deficiency of School Buildings.

The payments made to the Boards in 1895 on account of scholarships under the fifty-first section of " The Education Act, 1877," amounted to £7,247 13s. 4d. Their expenditure on the same account amounted to £7,449 6s. 6d., as shown in the following table :—

In their reports several Boards make reference to the operation of the School Attendance Act of 1894. The Boards of Wanganui, Wellington, and Southland consider that while the onus lies on the School Committees effective action is not to be expected; the Hawke's Bay Board, on the other hand, thinks that a noticeable improvement in the attendance is partly due to the determined attitude of Committees with respect to the enforcing of attendance. Taranaki and Marlborough ask for an addition to the statutory capitation rate in sparselypopulated districts. Hawke's Bay and North Canterbury speak of the difficulty of inducing male youths to become pupil-teachers. Wanganui reports that, to make up to some extent for the want of a normal school, classes have been established at two centres to assist teachers to prepare for examination for certificates of classes above Class E. The North Canterbury Board directs attention to an opinion expressed by its Inspectors to the effect that the study of grammar has been unduly neglected since the syllabus was altered so as to put that subject into an inferior position as compared with composition. The Otago and Southland reports contain interesting references to manual and technical instruction. The Southland Board is of opinion that the number of certificated applicants for appointments as teachers is now in excess of the present requirements of the schools, and that either the standard of examination should be raised or the candidature for certificates should be limited to the most approved and promising among the pupil-teachers and normal-school students. The Marlborough Board calls attention to the absence of any provision for secondary education in its district. Eeports of the Boards' Inspectors. The Public School Inspectors' reports are printed in a separate paper (E.-1b). Education Eeserves.

The sum of £40,482 lis. lOd. is shown as paid by the Commissioners towards the cost of primary education. The money paid by the Treasury to the Education Boards as statutory capitation (at £3 155.) was, of course, less by £40,482 lis. lOd. than it would have been if this contribution had not been made by the Commissioners. The income from the primary-education reserves thus becomes in effect colonial revenue. The relief afforded to tbe Treasury within the year by this means was £34,877 135., the remainder—£s,6o4 18s.— having been applied in the accounts of the preceding year. The Otago School Commissioners explain the unusually large amount of arrears of rent by reference to the exceptionally severe weather of last winter. Native Schools. The number of children attending the Native village schools increases rapidly. The average weekly roll-number in 1893 was 2,220; in 1894 it was 2,424 ; in 1895 it was 2,655. The strict average attendance for these three years has been as follows: 1,585 in 1893; 1,775 in 1894; and 2,084 in 1895. The average attendance in 1895 amounted to 78J per cent, of the average rollnumber. The preponderance of Maori children among the pupils is on the increase. In 1894 they constituted 73J per cent. ; but in 1895 they-were 76 per cent., the remaining 24 per cent, being made up of half-caste children (9 per cent.) and European or inclining to European (15 per cent.). 46 per cent, of the pupils are over the age of ten years. Besides the children here enumerated, there were in December, 1895, as many as 1,894 Maori and half-caste children (807 Maori, 103 half-castes living as Maori, and 984 half-castes living among Europeans) attending the ordinary public schools; and there were 75 Government scholars and 143 others at the four denominational boarding-schools for Natives. There were also 12 Maori boys apprenticed to trades (4 with blacksmiths, 3 with saddlers, 2 with printers, 2 with carpenters, and 1 with a farmer), instead of holding scholarships at boarding-schools. The Department paid half the tuition and boarding fees at a high school for one Maori girl; and one young man held from the Department a scholarship of £40 a year at Auckland University College. The increase in the attendance at the Maori village schools is partly due to an increase in the number of schools. There were 65 village schools at the end of 1894. In 1895 four of these were closed, and one transferred to the care of the Auckland Education Board ; but three old schools were reopened and six new ones established during the year, so that the number of schools at the end of the year was 69. The school at Pouto Point (at Kaipara Heads) was closed on account of the decline of the local population. Akuaku (at Open Bay) was practically absorbed by the new and larger inland school at Hiruharama. Maungatapu, near Tauranga', failed for want of attendance ; Karikari, a school opened in 1894, is within seven or eight miles of it. Eawhia, a side-school dependent on the Eangiahua School at Hokianga, was transferred to the Board of Education because the residents were all European. Wharekahika School (at Hicks Bay) was closed on account of the poor attendance. It has been reopened this year with a fair prospect of revival. The old schools reopened are at Ahipara (on the west coast of Mangonui County), Kopua (on the northern edge of the King-country), and Mangamuka (on the upper waters of the Hokianga). The average attendance (workingaverage) at Kopua is 38, and at each of the others 37. At Pukawa (on the south-west shore of Lake Taupo) a school was built several years ago, but owing to very peculiar circumstances it was not opened till last December: it has an average attendance of 43. Hiruharama has an attendance of 48, and bids fair to become an important school. The new schools at Kawhia and at Taiharuru (near Whangarei Heads) may be said to owe their origin to the energy of their teachers, whose pioneer work the Department has recognised by giving them regular appointments: the attendance at these schools is 40 and 33 respectively. Mawhitiwhiti is noteworthy as being the only. Native school yet established by the Department in the whole stretch of country lying between Wellington and Cape Egmont. The influence by which the extension of Native-school work to this district has been hindered is well known. The attendance at Mawhitiwhiti is only 18 at present. Arowhenua is

in the immediate neighbourhood of Temuka. The Education Board and the Temuka School Committee strongly supporting the often-reiterated petition of the Maori people, the Department has at last set up a Native school, where there is now an average attendance of 29. At the date of this report a large new school at Euatoki (in the Urewera country) is nearly ready for occupation; another large building is in progress at Pipiriki (Wanganui Eiver); the buildings of the extinct school at Eotoiti are being removed to a site at Te Ngae, where they have been long wanted; a tender has been accepted for a school-building at Te Whaiti (Urewera) ; and tenders will soon be invited for one at Kokako (Waikaremoana). Negotiations are in progress for Native schools at Koriniti (Corinth, on the Wanganui) and at Karioi (on the main line of communication between Wanganui and Taupo). It will probably be found necessary to build at Kawhia, and at Karikari; and the buildings at Te Houhi (near Galatea) and at Taiharuru are quite temporary structures. The expenditure on new buildings in 1895 was £3,077 10s. lOd. The expenditure on maintenance was £14,759 12s. 9d., accounted for as follows : Paid to teachers, £10,704 4s. Id.; books and school requisites, £504 ss. 4d.; lantern lectures, and lanterns and slides, £203 7s. 5d.; repairs and small works, £736 12s. 5d.; inspection (including travelling), £768 Bs. 3d.; sundries, £52 17s. 2d.; boarding-school subsidies, and scholarships, £1,790 os. Id. Now that five lanterns and a large supply of slides have been procured and distributed, there will be no expenditure for lectures, which will be delivered by the teachers. At the end of 1895 there were 57 masters, 10 mistresses, 60 assistant mistresses, and 13 sewing-mistresses. The salaries of masters and mistresses varied from £94 to £210, and the salaries of assistants and sewing-mistresses from £7 to £50. The report of Mr. Pope, the Organizing Inspector of Native Schools, appears as a separate paper (E.-2). Industrial Schools. The inmates discharged from industrial schools during the year numbered 185, and the new inmates 175. Correspondingly, the number of names on the rolls has declined from 1,555 to 1,545. At the end of the year the total of 1,545 was made up of 560 inmates residing in the schools (203 in Government schools and 357 in private schools), 416 boarded out (405 from Government schools and 11 from private schools), and 569 licensed to service or to reside with friends or on other accounts absent (486 from Government schools and 83 from private schools). Of the 569 absent inmates, 419 were at service, 103 on probation with friends, 8 in hospitals, 5 in lunatic asylums, 3 at the Costley Training Institution on probation, 1 at a blind asylum, 15 absent without leave, 14 in refuges or preventive institutions, and 1 in prison. The resident and boarded-out inmates reckoned together (as being alike dependent) were 995 at the beginning of the year and 976 at the end. The wages of inmates are deposited in the Post-Office Sayings-Bank. The total amount on deposit on the 31st December, 1895, was £9,436 (£9,090 on account of Government schools, and £346 on account of private schools). The amount withdrawn and paid to inmates, or former inmates, during the year was £1,317, of which £16 3s. 4d. was on account of private schools.

Of the inmates whose names were removed from the roll during the year six had reached the age of 21, and were ipso facto discharged. One young woman, having married (with the consent of the manager, her guardian) ceased to be under the control of the school. Three were transferred to the Costley Training Institution at the request of the Trustees. There were three deaths during the year : a boy between 7 and 8 years old, died at Nelson, of tubercular meningitis ; a boy of 5 years, boarded out from Burnham, died in hospital of tumour on the brain; and a boy nearly 15 years old, a half-caste Maori, an inmate of Burnham, who had absconded from his place of service, was accidentally shot on the Port Hills, near Christchurch. By warrant of His Excellency the Governor, 172 other inmates were discharged. The new inmates are distinguished, with respect to religious denomination, as follows : Church of England, 76 ; Roman Catholic, 54; Presbyterian, 26; Methodist, 18; Salvation Army, 1. There were 60 girls among the 175 new inmates : 36 destitute, 6 vagrant, 11 living in disreputable places, 6 guilty of punishable offences, and 1 admitted by arrangement. Of the boys, 50 were destitute, 8 vagrant, 7 living in disreputable places, 2 uncontrollable, 45 guilty of punishable offences, and 3 admitted by arrangement. So far as the information summarised in Table U can be relied on, it appears that in 35 cases father and mother alike were of unsatisfactory character, in 47 cases the father alone, in 29 cases the mother alone, in 54 cases neither ; and in the 10 cases remaining the data are wanting.

With respect to the Government schools, the average number boarded out was 399, and the cost per head (not reckoning the time spent by the managers and the Visiting Officer in attending to their cases) was (£6,537 -r- 399) about £16 7s. Bd. The whole number maintained by the Government schools was on the average 634; and if these cases are charged with the whole expenditure, the cost is (£14,018-7-634) about £22 2s. 2d. per head. If, however, the whole number of cases under control (an average of 1,100) is taken into account, the gross expenditure is about ,£l2 15s. per head, and the net expenditure about £6 10s.

" The Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, 1895," provides for the granting of subsidies to classes established for instruction in such branches of science and art as are encouraged by the South Kensington Department and by the City and Guilds Institute, and also to workshops connected with public schools; and the same Act allows part of the ordinary school time to be given to elementary manual instruction. A .circular was issued in January, 1896, containing information with respect to the development of manual instruction in England ; and another is now in the press, being a reprint of that part of the report of the London School Board for 1895 which treats of the same subject. These circulars will appear in a separate paper (E.-lc).

EEPOETS OF EDUCATION BOAEDS.

AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1896. In compliance with section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings for the year 1895 : — Board.—At the beginning of 1895 the Board consisted of the following members: The Bey. Canon Bates, Messrs. T. Cooper, W. Lambe, S. Luke, W. P. Moat, J. Muir, H. Wilding, W, Woodward, and B. Udy (Chairman). In March, Messrs. Luke, Wilding, and Woodward retired. Mr. Luke and Mr. Woodward were re-elected, and Mr. A. B. Harris was elected to succeed Mr. Wilding. Mr. J. H. Wright was elected in June to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Moat. The members who retire this month, Messrs. Cooper, Udy, and Wright, have been re-elected. Thirtyone meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. Nine meetings of committees of the Board were held in reference to school accommodation, regulations, teaching staff, and examinations. Since July, a sub-committee of six members has met every fortnight to deal with accounts, and to select teachers for appointments. Public Schools.—The number of schools has increased from 326 to 332, of which number forty are half-time schools. New schools were opened at the following places: Otorohanga, Whangaripo, Woodside (Kaeo), Awitu (No. 2), Mangakura, Matahuru (2), Ofcaua, Ti Point, Tangihua, Aoroa, Pukekawa, Upper Waihou, Okoroire, Otumoetai. The following schools were closed in consequence of decreased attendance : Lower Matakana, Waitakerei, Maioro, Te Bangi, Okahu,- Buapuke, Fern Flat, Ruth's Island. By a reference to the printed list of schools it will be seen that twenty-four schools are ranked as "aided," and two as "itinerant." The question of providing for the maintenance of small schools has occupied the Board's attention during the year. The number of these schools was increasing to such an extent that it became necessary for the Board either to fix a limit to the cost of their maintenance, or to decline applications unless supported by a guarantee from the residents. In August, 1895, it was decided to limit the expenditure on schools under twenty average attendance to the statutory capitation of £3 15s. a year. Representations were, however, made to the Board that such a limit would lead to the closing of many small schools in isolated districts; and, after careful consideration, the following scheme was substituted: All schools having less than fifteen in average attendance are ranked as "aided" schools; the expenditure thereon is limited to a capitation allowance at the rate of £5 a year upon the average attendance (which is paid to the teacher), and the Board incurs no further charge for maintenance. For schools having an average of fifteen and less than twenty, a fixed salary is paid to the teacher. A circular was published explaining the position of the Board in regard to this matter. It w*as shown that unless Parliament should increase the grant for country schools the Board could do no more than at present for their maintenance. The capitation grant of £3 15s. voted for the education of each child in daily average attendance is insufficient to cover the cost of maintenance in about 250 schools in this district. Out of eighty-four new schools opened by the Board since 1890, only seven are large enough to be self-supporting. Were it not for the surplus income yielded by the larger schools in the centres of population the Board could not possibly continue the smaller schools upon their present basis. Teachers.—The number of teachers at the end of the year was 766, clasified as follows: Head teachers--214 males, 98 females; assistant teachers—27 males, 142 females; pupil-teachers —39 males, 180 females; sewing teachers—66 females. All teachers above the rank of pupilteachers are certificated except fourteen—viz., two licensed, two graduates awaiting classification, four having partial E, and six who have nob yet qualified for a certificate. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June. Eighty-three pupil-teachers were examined, of whom sixty-six qualified for a higher grade. The candidates (140 in number) who had passed prior to 1895, but had not received employment, were invited to qualify anew by re-examination. Eighty-eight came up for examination, and forty-two passed. Employment has been offered already to all but four. The new regulations framed by the Board for the examination and training of pupil-teachers did not receive the approval of the Minister of Education, and were therefore abandoned. The scale of staff of teachers has been revised and altered so as to increase the efficiency of all schools. Attendance. —The roll-number of scholars has increased from 25,019 to 25,594, with an increase of 230 in the working average. There were, at the end of the year, 593 scholars above school age, and 553 scholars in the class above Standard VI. The number of Maori and half-caste scholars was 949. Scholarships.—Fifty-four scholarships—sixteen senior and thirty-eight junior—were held during the year. The district scholars have made satisfactory progress, and several of them have gained distinction in competing for higher prizes. As a result of the change made in the regulations the Board was enabled to award scholarships to all the candidates who qualified at the annual examination in December, 1895. Finance. —The receipts from all sources amounted to £95,318 16s. 4d., and the expenditure to £88,309 6s. 4d, leaving an unexpended balance of £2,580 3s. 6d. on Maintenance Account and £4,429 6s. 6d. on Building Account. The last-named balance is pledged to meet the cost of works in progress or authorised. Against the balance on Maintenance Account there were certain contingent liabilities amounting to £1,508 os. 3d. The statutory capitation-grant of £3 15s. per head was 9—E. 1.

applied as follows : Teachers' salaries, £3 3s. 4d.; grants to Committees, 6s. 7d.; inspection and examination, Is. lid.; expenses of Board and departmental management, Is. Bd. ; unexpended, Is. 6d.: total, £3 15s. Buildings.—The grants allocated to this district for building purposes are quite inadequate to meet requirements. There are no fewer than forty-four schools carried on in buildings rented or lent free of charge. There are 160 schools unprovided with teachers' residences. Many of the wooden buildings erected twenty years ago are showing signs of decay, and must soon be replaced with new buildings. The demand for schools in newly-settled districts is continually increasing. Several buildings and improvements have had to be postponed for the want of funds. A large outlay has been incurred in providing school accommodation for the growing population at Coromandel and at the Upper Thames goldfield. The Board has also had to increase the accommodation in some of the town and suburban schools. There are at least forty schools for which dwellings ought to be provided. It is obvious that the Board cannot overtake all these works unless some more liberal provision is made by Parliament for the purpose. The buildings erected in this district are plain, substantial structures :no ornamentation is added. The object of the Board is to supply the maximum accommodation at the minimum cost consistent with efficiency. The average cost of school buildings in this district will compare favourably with that in other districts of the colony. The number of actual requirements largely exceeds that of any other education district. Miscellaneous.—The conference of Education Boards held in August at Wellington was attended by Mr. Udy as the representative of this Board. As one result of that conference, the Bill to provide for manual and technical instruction has passed into law, and the Board has promised to co-operate with School Committees in taking advantage of its provisions. So far as the city and suburbs of Auckland are concerned, provision for such instruction is already afforded by the Auckland Technical School; but the Board hopes that the opportunities of technical instruction may be extended to other portions of the education district. The Board has been greatly helped by the co-operation of the School Committees in administering the Act during the past year. It has been the consistent aim of the Board to give the fullest consideration to their wishes, and to act upon their advice, so far as is consistent with the interests of the whole education district. It is hoped that the friendly relations which have been thus maintained for many years will continue to exist, to the advantage of all who are interested in upholding the present system of primary education. R. Udy, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, 4th March, 1896. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to forward the following report of the Board's proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1895 :— . " , . '.'« The Board.—The retiring members, Miss Heywood and Messrs. E. G. Alisworth and R. G. Bauchope, were returned unopposed at the annual election in March, this being the first instance of an uncontested election since the formation of the Board. Mr. Bauchope was re-elected

B.—l

Chairman. The Board then consisted of Mr. R. G. Bauchope (Chairman), Miss Heywood, Messrs. E. G. Allsworth, G. A. Adlam, W. Ambury, H. Faull, S. Hill, J. Mackay, and J. Wade. The Board held twenty-three ordinary and two special meetings during the year, and the attendance of members has been as follows : Miss Heywood, 25; Mr. Bauchope, 23 ; Mr. Adlam, 24 ; Mr. Allsworth, 24; Mr. Ambury, 23; Mr. Faull, 25; Mr. Hill, 23; Mr. Mackay, 23; and Mr. Wade, 22. Several committees were appointed to consider and report on various matters of importance. The members of these committees were assiduous in their attendance, and cheerfully devoted the additional time to the service of the Board. Schools.—-There were fifty-two schools open at the beginning of the year, and two have been opened during the year—viz., Stanley Road and Ngariki. The latter is conducted in a building belonging to one of the settlers, and the teacher is paid a capitation allowance equal to the Government grant on the average attendance. Teachers.—The number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year was 124, being an increase of ten on the previous year. They are classified as follows: Head-teachers— 22 males, 2 females ; sole teachers —13 males, 18 females ; assistant teachers—3 males, 12 females ; pupil-teachers—s males, 23 females; sewing teachers —26 females: total, 43 males, 81 females. The payment of the teachers is a source of constant anxiety to the Board, and the scale of salaries has been revised from time to time so that all the money that can be spared from other necessary purposes may be devoted to this object. The average number of pupils on the roll in 1885 was 2,263, and 3,769 in 1895, an increase of 1,506. The greater part of this increase has been in the newly-settled parts of the district, necessitating new schools in places where they cannot be selfsupporting for a number of years. Two-thirds of the schools now open are carried on at a loss; and the Board would respectfully urge on the Minister the necessity for making an additional capitation grant to bush districts which are being rapidly settled in small holdings. An additional ss. per head would enable the Board to cope with the progress of settlement. Attendance.—The roll-number for the year shows and increase of 132. The number on the roll for the quarter ending 31st December was 3,769, as compared with 3,637 for the corresponding quarter of 1894. The following table shows the attendance from the year 1885 to 1895 [not all reprinted]: —

A gratifying feature in the above table is the steady increase in the average attendance, it having risen from 67 per cent, in 1885 to 76 per cent, last year. There is still room for improvement in this respect, and the Board trusts that Committees and teachers will do their utmost to improve on this percentage during the current year. Buildings.—At the end of 1894 contracts were let for school buildings at Stanley Road and Purangi; these buildings are now completed, and the schools opened. Several schools have been lined and painted, and contracts are now let for the following works : New schools at Mangere, Huiroa, and Tongaporutu ; removal and addition to Waipuku School; addition to Rahotu School; teachers' residences at Cardiff Road and Kaimata; and painting and repairing a number of school buildings. These works more than absorb the liberal building grant f0r.1894-95, and will necessitate drawing on the general fund, though to a smaller extent than in previous years. The addition to the building grant received by the Board at the end of the year enabled it to build two residences. The need of more residences is so urgent that the Board trusts it will receive a similar grant this year, as, judging from the applications for schools from newly-settled districts already received, the Board will not be able to build more residences without the additional grant. Scholarships.—The result of the examination for scholarships was disappointing, only three out of eighteen candidates receiving sufficient marks (60 per cent.) to entitle them to a scholarship. The Board considers its teachers are somewhat to blame in this matter. A teacher who takes a proper interest in his work should prepare a scholarship candidate as thoroughly as possible, so that, when competing with pupils from the whole district, he may take part in the examination without bringing discredit on himself, his school, and his teacher. Committees.—The Board would urge upon Committees the necessity of enforcing the compulsory clauses of the Act and amendments thereof. Several Committees are now doing so, and the increased average attendance is greatly owing to their efforts in this direction. The Board is pleased to be able to state that it still continues to work harmoniously with the Committees. Inspection.—Mr. W. E. Spencer, M.A., entered on his duties as Inspector on Ist March, 1895. For information respecting the state of education in the district I beg to refer you to his exhaustive report. Manual and Technical Education.—Shortly after the passing of "The Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, 1895," the Board appointed a committee to report on the best means of availing itself of the provisions of the Act. The committee has met, but has not yet finished its report. Finance.—The income of the Board from all sources, including the balance of £1,929 12s. from last year, was £15,326 12s. 5d., and the expenditure was £12,587 13s. lid., leaving a credit balance of £2,738 18s. 6d., against which there are appropriations and liabilities to very nearly a similar amount. Particulars of the income and expenditure will be found in the statement of accounts appended to this report. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Robt. G. Bauchope, Chairman,

WANGANUI. Sir, — Education Office, Wanganui, February, 1896. In pursuance of the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to forward you a report of the Board's proceedings for the year ending December, 1895. Board. —The Board is at present composed of the following gentlemen: Mr. Gilbert Carson (Chairman), Wanganui; Mr. Henry Sanson, Campbelltown North; Mr. G. S. Bridge, Waverley ; Rev. J. Ross, Turakina ; Mr. James W. Baker, Fordell; Mr. J. H. Fry, Makino ; Mr. Fred. Pirani, M.H.R., Palmerston North; Mr. R. E. Beckett, Marton ; and Mr. G. A. Hurley, Manaia. In March last Mr. John Notman, who had for many years been an active member of the Board, and latterly for two years Chairman, resigned, and Mr. Fred. Pirani was elected to fill the vacancy in the Board, whilst Mr. Gilbert Carson was again elected Chairman. The Board meets upon the second Monday and Tuesday in each month, and it has regularly met upon those days during the past year. The Board is assisted in the interim of its meetings by an executive committee, composed of three members—viz., the Chairman, and Messrs. Baker and Bridge. Schools. —At the close of the year 1894 there were 106 schools open in this district. At the end of 1895 there were 116 schools open. The difference is accounted for by the opening of thirteen new schools, the closing of two, and the combining into one of those at Pohangina and Pohangina Township. The thirteen new schools opened are at Beef Creek, Rangiwahia, Paiaka, Poukiore, Riverton, Tiritea, Waipuru, West Waitapu, Waitohi, Awahou, Kawatau, Mangahoe, and Parapara. Those closed were at Pemberton and Upper Pohangina. The opening of the Beef Creek and Rangiwahia Schools had the effect of closing the Pemberton School; but under the circumstances this was unavoidable, as the settlers both at Beef Creek and Rangiwahia withdrew their children from the Pemberton School. The new schools opened are all in outlying districts, and the attendance is necessarily small, the roll-number for the thirteen being 262, and the work-ing-average attendance 226. The attendance at the two schools closed was —roll-number, 48; working average, 38. New schools are now required at Beef Creek, Raetihi, Ruahine, Kawatau, Mangawhero, Waipuru, Marshall Village, and Manutahi. Additions and improvements are required to the schools at Okaiawa, Kairanga, Crofton, Pihama, Cheltenham, Rata, Kelvin Grove, Awatuna, Campbelltown North, Kapuni, Upper Tutaenui, and Normanby, whilst the Pemberton School will be removed to Rangiwahia. There are thirty-six schools without residences, costing the Board £750 a year for house-rent, a drain upon its General Account which might be saved were funds forthcoming for building. Building Operations.—During the year new schools have been built or commenced at West Waitapu, Kohi, Mangaweka, and Tiritea, whilst extensive additions have been made to schools at Feilding, Birmingham, Marton, Waitotara, Mangatoki, Pohangina, Kaponga, Te Roti, and Whenuakura. New residences have been built at Bunnythorpe, Ohingaiti, Linton, Te Roti, Mangaweka, Kairanga, and Mount View. This work was all done by contract. The Board's carpenter has also been fully employed in effecting repairs, additions, and improvements to schools, residences, and grounds at the following places —viz., Bull's, Hunterville, Aramoho, Upokongaro, Maxwell, Westmere, Okoia, Manaia, Otakeho, Patea, Waverley, Momohaki, Wanganui Girls', Wanganui Boys', Goat Valley, Waitotara, Mosston, Mars Hill, Marton, Feilding, Halcombe, Sanson, Karere, Campbell Street and College Street Palmerston North, Awahuri, Rata, Campbelltown North, and Terrace End. These repairs extended over the whole year, and the cost amounted to £695. It is manifest from the

65

E.—l

above statement that all parts of the district have received a fair share of the grant, and that no part has been favoured more than another. The Board was also obliged to paint a number of buildings at a considerable cost. In addition to the foregoing a tender was accepted for a muchneeded addition to the Board's offices. For a long time past this want has been severely felt, and it was with difficulty that the work, which had much increased of late years, could be carried on in the small building. The additions are now complete, and in every way prove to be a great acquisition. Teachers. —There are now 241 teachers in the service of the Board. Of these, fortyseven are head male teachers, six are head female teachers, forty-three are sole male teachers in charge of schools, nineteen are sole female teachers, nine are male assistant teachers, twenty-seven are female assistant teachers, twenty-five are male pupil-teachers, sixty-five are female pupil-teachers. Amongst these, however, are three relieving teachers and two probationers occupying temporary positions. There are also thirty-six cadets who do not receive any pay, and are not reckoned upon the staff of the schools. The Board uses every care in the selection of its teachers. Not only does it require certificates of competency and character, but every teacher is obliged to produce a medical certificate of good health before he is allowed to enter the service. The Board believes that it has reason to be satisfied generally with the class of teachers in its employ. In filling vacancies or making new appointments the Board's plan is to select those applications which, from inquiries made, or information at its disposal, it deems most suitable. These are sent to the School Committee interested with a request that it will make a final selection. Whenever it is possible the Board gives the preference to its own teachers. This is essential not only as a matter of justice and encouragement, but in order to move on the passed rjupil-teachers and junior assistants, and thus regulate the expenditure on the teaching staff. Training op Teachers. —The Board, finding that a large number of its teachers held only E certificates, has (in the absence of a Normal School) made a tentative attempt at training its teachers for a higher classification by the establishment of instruction classes at Palmerston North and Wanganui. These classes are now to be held during eight months of the year —two terms of four months each ; and a small fee—lss. per term —is charged to the teachers. The instructors are paid £1 10s. per term for each student, the Board paying the difference between the fee and that amount. It is believed that this step will benefit the young teachers especially. Attendances. —For 1894 the average weekly roll-number for this district was 9,264; and for 1895, 9,747. The strict average attendance for 1894 was 7,136 ; and for 1895, 7,488. The difference between the strict and working average attendance for 1894 was 133, and for 1895 it was 167. The percentage of strict average attendance on the roll-number for 1894 was 77*03; and for 1895 it was 76*82. For the first three quarters of 1895 the average attendance for the whole district varied only four, thus indicating a very steady attendance; but the fourth quarter showed an increase of 193, no doubt partly due to the opening of several small schools. Truant Inspectors.—Several of the School Committees nominated truant inspectors for appointment by the Board. The Committees make their own arrangements for remunerating these officials. Fines recovered under the Act are retained by the Committees. There is a natural repugnance on the part of the Committees to take action under the School Attendance Act of 1894. Perhaps the best and most successful truant inspectors are the teachers whose schools are specially attractive, and who at once benefit themselves and their pupils by making them so. Inspection.—A circular petition from the Roman Catholic Bishops of the colony was forwarded to the Board requesting it to allow the Inspectors to examine their schools. The Board complied with the request, and these schools throughout the district have since been examined and reported upon in the usual way, the results being forwarded in due course to the proper authorities, and also placed before the Board. By request, the Putiki Native School was also examined by one of the Board's Inspectors. In every instance the principals and managers of these schools expressed their satisfaction at the manner in which the examination was performed, and also stated that they had derived much information and benefit therefrom. Owing to the ill-health of its Chief Inspector, Mr. Vereker Bindon, caused by excessive work, the Board granted him a few months' leave of absence. His place has been temporarily filled, with credit, by Mr. James Milne, M.A., the Sub-Inspector, who has been assisted, by Mr. H. J. Carter. Needlework.—A return made during the year, at the instance of a member of the Board, revealed the fact that only about one-half of the female children in the district are taught sewing. In some instances, where there is but a sole male teacher in the school, this omission appears to be unavoidable. The Board does not appoint sewing teachers, but in the larger schools the duty is performed by the assistant mistress, aided by the female pupil-teachers. The Board attaches much importance to this branch cf female education, and hopes that the School Committees will do all in their power to promote it. At the close of the year, out of 4,645 females on the roll, 2,698 were taught needlework. Technical School.—During the year the Art Master applied to the Board for an extension of the school building, and also for the appointment of an assistant master. The desirability of establishing art classes at Palmerston North and Hawera was also mooted. The Board thereupon appointed a committee of its members to report upon the school generally, and the funds at its disposal for technical education. This school is supported by the interest from the invested funds of the Rees bequest, by outside students' fees, by fees granted by the Board for the instruction of teachers, and by a portion of the annual Government grant for technical education ; but the Board does not trench directly upon the Government grant for primary education. After a careful investigation by the Board's Committee, it concluded that there were not sufficient funds available to warrant the Board in making an extensive outlay such as a large addition to the building would involve ; nor could they recommend the appointment of an assistant master. A cadet was, however, appointed to assist Mr. Blair in Wanganui. An assistant master was also appointed to visit Hawera and teach drawing every Saturday during the term. Subjoined I beg to hand you the Art Master's report upon the work of the school.* Scholarships.—At the annual competitive examination held in the month of December, sixteen boys and seven girls competed for the senior and twenty-three boys and ten girls for the

junior scholarships. Four boys and three girls qualified for the senior and seven boys and eight girls qualified for the junior scholarships. The Board's scholarships are of the annual value of £l 5 for pupils who can reside at home whilst attending a secondary school, and £40 for pupils who are obliged to board away from home, and they are tenable for two years. To qualify for a scholarship pupils must obtain at least 60 per cent, of the total marks obtainable, and 25 per cent, of the possible marks in each subject. Six scholarships were awarded by the Board—three in the senior and three in the junior division. The senior award was made to two boys and one girl, and the junior award to three boys. The total number of marks obtainable for the senior was 800, and the marks obtained by the successful candidates were 583, 579*5, and 558. The total number of marks obtainable for the junior was 750, and the successful candidates obtained respectively 578, 574, and 550. By a resolution of the Board of Governors of the Wanganui Girls' College, the two girls in the senior competition who qualified, but did not obtain scholarships, were awarded free education for two years at the Girls' College. The whole of the pupils who qualified for junior scholarships were from the Board's schools, and of the seven who qualified for the senior four were from the Board's schools, one from the Wanganui Girls' College, one from the Wanganui Convent School, and one from the Wanganui Collegiate School. Pupil-teachers.—At the annual examination of pupil-teachers, held in June, the following are the number of candidates who presented themselves in each class : Third Class—l 3 males and 17 females; total, 30. Second Class—s males and 16 females ; total, 21. First Class—6 males and 9 females; total, 15. Of the Third Class, 20 passed and 10 failed; of the Second Class, 11 passed and 10 failed; of the First Class, 12 passed and 3 failed. The whole of the candidates who took up secondary subjects and passed the First Class examination belong to the Board's schools. Finance.--—The Board's statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance of £2,677 13s. 10d. in the General Account, and a credit of £2,064 16s. 4d. in the Building Account. The statement of assets and liabilities, however, shows that there are liabilities amounting to £349 6s. in the General Account, leaving a net credit balance of £2,328 7s. lOd. In the Building Account there is an asset of £110 due on account of insurance on the Mount View residence, lately burnt, and liabilities amounting to £1,678 7s. 5d., leaving a net balance of £512 Bs. lid. to meet the pressing demands of the whole educational district for the current year. The Board has already shown, in a detailed statement forwarded to the department, that it required the sum of £8,500 to meet the claims for urgent works, and that, if the residences already referred to were erected, and the remainder of the buildings painted and repaired, the amount would total up to over £17,000. In the face of this statement, the Board is practically without funds. As a matter of fact, the Board has, since the end of the year, been obliged to trench upon the General Account to the extent of £1,000 for building purposes; but even that will not meet onefifth part of the urgent requirements of the district. The Board has already shown that the rapid settlement on this coast, and the number of small schools which it is obliged to maintain, practically costing more than the capitation grant, entitles it to special consideration in the allocation of the Government grant for buildings; and unless its representations on this point receive speedy and careful consideration its functions as an administrative body will become to a great extent neutralised. For further information respecting the state and progress of education in this district 1 have the honour to refer you to the report of the Inspector of Schools. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Gilbert Carson, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Board, Wellington, 31st March, 1896. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to transmit herewith the report of this Board for the year ending 31st December last. Board.—The election to fill the vacancies caused by the annual retirement of three members of the Board resulted in the return of the old members, Mr. J. R. Blair, Dr. Newman, and Mr. F. Bradey. The Board, therefore, consists of Mr. J. R. Blair, Mr. F. Bradey, Mr. W. C. Buchanan, M.H.R., Mr. W. A. Fitzherbert, Mr. F. H. Eraser, Mr. W. W. McCardle, Dr. Newman, M.H.R., the Rev. J. Paterson, and Mr. J. Toung. Mr. Blair was re-elected Chairman and Treasurer. During the year the Board met on thirteen occasions, twelve ordinary and one special meeting having been held. The attendances made were: Mr. J. R. Blair, 12; Mr. Bradey, 11; Mr. Buchanan, 10; Mr. Fitzherbert, 10; Mr. Fraser, 13; Mr. McCardle, 12; Dr. Newman, 10; Mr. Paterson, 9 ; and Mr. Toung, 13. The Finance Committee has met regularly, previous to the ordinary meeting of the Board, to examine and pass accounts, and the Technical School Committee has held meetings as required, to deal with matters affecting that institution. Mr. Blair, the Chairman of the Board, was selected as its representative on the Board of School Commissioners. Schools. —The first quarter's returns, from the ninety-nine schools under the Board's control, show 13,305 children on the rolls, with an average attendance (working) of 11,088. 2,753 children appear as admitted during the quarter, but the increase in the number on the books at the close of the previous year was only 733. June quarter shows 13,163 on the rolls, with an average of 10,768 ; September, 13,266 on the rolls, with 10,613 in average attendance; December, 13,048 on rolls, and 10,736 in average attendance. The difference in working and strict average attendance is shown to be:— Working. Strict. March ... ... ... ... ... ... 11,085 11,047 June ... ... ... ... ... ... 10,768 10,547 September ... ... ... ... ... 10,613 10,520 December ... ... ... ... ... 10,736 10,654 At the close of the year 13,048 children were on the rolls of the schools, 6,777 males and 6,271 females. The Maori and half-caste children numbered 162 —79 boys and 83 girls. Schools were opened at Wainuiorau, Mangapakeha, for part of the year only, and then closed. New schools at Brancepeth, Taratahi West, Makuri, and Reikiorangi were opened during the year under the regulations for aided schools, and the aided school at Ditton was reopened. Several applications were received for schools in the special settlements in the Forty-mile Bush ; and from inquiries made there appears to be some urgent necessity for schools at Otohuia, Tiraumea, Dreyer's Rock, Rakaunui, Pongoroa, and Coonoor. A site has been secured at Waikanae, and a new school will be erected there shortly. The 104 schools in this district are classified on the basis of attendance as follows : Under 15 pupils, six schools; 15 and under 20 pupils, twelve schools; 20 and under 25 pupils, five schools; 25 and under 50 pupils, thirty-six schools ; 50 and under 75 pupils, ten schools ; 75 and under 100 pupils, ten schools; 100 and under 150 pupils, seven schools ; 150 and under 300 pupils, eight schools; 300 and under 500 pupils, eight schools ; 500 and upwards, two schools. Of these 104 schools, those at Aohanga, Bideford, Ditton, Brancepeth, Makairo, Makuri, Nikau, Alfredton, Kaipororo, Kaituna, Waingawa, Te Whiti, Taratahi, Horokiwi, Pencarrow, and Reikiorangi were aided schools. Towards the maintenance of these schools the Board contributes the £3 15s. per head received from the Government as statutory capitation, and also provides all furniture and appliances. When buildings have to be provided the Board bears the cost. The Board has 342 teachers in its service : Heads of schools, 49 males, 9 females; sole teachers, 13 males, 32 females ; assistants, 30 males, 52 females ; pupil-teachers, 18 males, 139 females. Eight schools have specially-appointed sewing-teachers. Of the pupil-teachers employed by the Board 72 have passed their final examinations, and remain at the schools as ex-pupil-teachers awaiting opportunities for promotion. During the year new residences, to replace those destroyed by fire, were erected at Waihenga and Park Vale. New schools were built at Matarau, Taratahi, and Reikiorangi, and a new building was put up at Petone to provide for the younger children. Important additions have been made at Mangatainoka, Pahiatua, and Ohau, and considerable improvements effected at Ngaturi, Eketahuna, Hastwell, Mauriceville, Rangitumau, Gladstone, Carterton, Featherston, Taita, Hutt, Ohariu, Khandallah, Karori, Terrace, Kilbirnie, Mitchelltown, and the three Mount Cook schools. Contracts have been let for new schools at Ponatahi and Rintoul Street, Newtown. New Districts. —New school districts were constituted at Tokomaru, .Ohau, Reikiorangi, Rangitumau, and Hastwell. Scholarships.—The examination for the Board scholarships was conducted as usual at Wellington and Masterton centres. One hundred and fifty candidates were presented from twenty-four schools. In accordance with the recommendation of the examiners, scholarships were awarded to—[five, £30 each ; eleven, £15 each]. Compulsory Attendance.—Wherever requested to do so the Board has appointed constables to be truant officers under the School Attendance Act, and in several districts the enforcement, of attendance has been carried out with, advantage; but the fact that this Act is administered locally tells very much against its success. In many districts members of School Committees do not appear inclined to take upon their shoulders the strict enforcement of the provisions of this Act, -even though the services of the Board's solicitors have been available. There can be no doubt that -Committees and teachers have, with beneficial results, made widely known the fact that power exists for compelling a certain regularity of attendance, and have done much to improve the attend-

ance where required. The Board appreciates the ready assistance ever rendered by School Committees, and their hearty co-operation in all matters affecting the welfare of education. Finance. —The Board regretted its inability to increase the salaries of teachers and pupilteachers during the year, but is pleased to say that with careful management of its finances, and the most rigid economy where possible, the overdraft has been reduced to £611 95., which will admit of a moderate adjustment of salaries. From a revenue of £47,066 14s. 2d., of which £1,163 15s. was received as fees, &c., in connection with the Technical School, the payment of teachers' salaries has absorbed £32,947 14s. 7d., and the Technical School £1,761 165.; incidental expenses of schools, £3,386 14s. 9d., including £486 15s. Bd. for rents of schools. On account of school buildings, £1,068 10s. 10d., has been spent on new buildings; £2,265 7s. Bd. on additions, improvements, and repairs; £70 for sites; and £108 9s. Id. for plans, supervision, and travelling-expenses of architect. Technical School. —The Technical School continues its prosperous career. The new classes added during the year were Applied Mechanics and Manual Instruction, the latter being established mainly in connection with the primary-school system. The same high standard of results has been maintained in connection with the examinations of English institutions, Florence Broome obtaining a prize for design in the national competition. Out of 47,978 works sent up for examination only 4,044 were selected for competition, twelve being from the Wellington schools. The results of the year's works would have entitled the school to a £484 grant upon its primary and other examination results had the school been in Great Britain. The Technical School has classes in which pupil-teachers and teachers are efficiently trained for their work in drawing. A large continuation class numbering sixty-two primary-scholarship holders has been efficiently carried on during the year. The aim of the Board has been always to maintain the Technical School as an integral part of the primary-school system. In this connection the school is entitled to be credited with cost of this teaching, full details of which will be found in the annual report of the Director.* Inspectors' Report.—From the Inspectors' report it will be seen that 13,336 pupils were on the books at the dates of examination. Exclusive of infant classes, and 344 who have already passed Standard VI., 8,592 children were examined and 7,185 passed, an increase on last year's figures of 466 presented and 72 passed. The report speaks highly of the work done at the infant schools, and of the effect of Mr. Parker's work in the training of teachers in singing, which is apparent in all the larger schools, and many of the smaller ones. Drawing is shown to be in advance of departmental requirements in many of the largest schools. The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. R. Blair, Chairman.

School Attendance.—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: —

The percentage of increase of average attendance, as shown by the above table, is higher than any year since 1888, being 6*5 per cent. This result is partly owing to the appointment of truant officers, and to the determination of the School Committees to enforce the attendance clause of the Education Act. Gisborne District High School.—The Gisborne District High School, which had ceased to exist owing to no arrangement having been arrived at with the Gisborne High School Board of Governors to carry on the school, has again been reconstructed under a new agreement for ten years. The Board of Governors are about to erect a suitable building for this purpose in connection with the main school buildings. This is a matter of congratulation to the residents in the northern portion of the education district. School Committees.—ln reference to School Committees there is very little to record, save that the most amicable and friendly relations exist between them and the Board. On the one hand the Committees help in supervising the respective works, and the Board assist the Committees so far as funds will permit in carrying out the wants and wishes of the Committees. Scholarships.—Twenty-five new scholarships have been granted for the year 1896. This shows an increase of six scholarships over last year. The scholarship regulations have been amended : reading, writing, and geometrical drawing have been omitted, and English history and elementary science have been added. Pupil-teachers.—lt is a matter to be regretted, and one that requires serious consideration, that very few male pupils offer their services as pupil-teachers. The Board offers a salary up to £60 per annum, with permission to remain another year at the same salary, in order to provide funds to support them whilst preparing themselves for the certificate examination. This does not, however, seem to be sufficient to induce young men to enter the service. The Board regrets it does not see its way to increase the amount, which bears a favourable comparison with the salaries granted by other Boards. Sewing.—The report of the lady examiners on the yearly competitive sewing examination is most satisfactory. One thousand nine hundred and fifteen specimens were submitted by the respective schools. The Board desires to express its thanks to the lady examiners for the painstaking manner in which year after year they undertake this very onerous duty. Buildings.—Two new school buildings have been erected and taken over during the past year, and very large additions have been made to twelve others. I would draw the particular attention of the Minister of Education to the fact that, if the building fund allotted to this Board had not been supplemented by £1,000 from the school fund, the absolutely necessary additions above referred to could not have been made, and the work of those schools could not have been properly conducted. Even now, in numerous instances, the space provided is stretched to its utmost limit, and the grant requires to be considerably increased if the requisite accommodation is to be provided. The School Committees in this district are endeavouring to enforce the attendance of all children who should be at school, and this will still further tax the school space available. Another call upon the building fund which is not met for want of funds is providing teachers' residences for schools in out-districts, where teachers are unable to obtain suitable house accommodation. This is an urgent matter, and I trust sufficient funds to meet this want will be allotted to the Board in the next grant. The report to the Board from the Inspector of Schools is forwarded herewith, and treats generally upon the progress of education in this district. The audited sheet of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereto. The amount paid in teachers' salaries, allowances, bonuses on results, and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers was £18,115 18s. lOd.; the amount paid to School Committees was £2,058 19s. Bd. ; and. the amount expended on school buildings was £3,213 9s. lid. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. D. Ormond, Chairman.

MARLBOROUGH. Sir,— Blenheim, 14th April, 1896. I have the honour to present the annual report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1895. The Board at the beginning of the year consisted of the following gentlemen: The Hon. W. D. H. Baillie, Thomas Carter, John Clervaux Chaytor, John Duncan, John A. Lambert, Charles H. Mills, M.H.R., William B. Parker, Joseph H. Redwood, and Arthur P. Seymour. The members retiring by rotation at the end of March—Messrs. Baillie, Mills, and Seymour—having been re-elected, the personnel of the Board is the same as at the beginning of the year. The Board held 12 meetings during the year, of which the Hon. W. D. Baillie attended 7 ; Mr. Carter, 12; Mr. Chaytor, 10; Mr. Duncan, 11; Mr. Lambert, 8; Mr. Mills, 7; Mr. Parker, 10; Mr. Redwood, 10; and Mr. Seymour, 8. The average attendance of members was nearly 7. Schools. —The number of schools open during the past year was sixty-three, or eight more than existed in 1894. The increase is entirely due to the establishment of aided schools, which will probably continue to increase in number for some years to come. The number of schools having an average attendance of twenty-five and upwards remains at nineteen, so that about 70 per cent, of the Marlborough schools are aided or household schools, and are maintained by the Board at a cost much in excess of the revenue received from Government for their support. Last year the proportion of small schools was 55 per cent, of the total number. As there is little or no reason to expect a sufficient expansion of settlement here to cause any of these small schools to be raised to the position of Board schools, the necessity for making some adequate provision for their maintenance is becoming more and more marked year by year, and is now so pressing that the Board has resolved, in conjunction with the Boards of other small districts, to petition the General Assembly on the subject, and ventures to express a hope that when the matter is brought before Parliament the Minister of Education will give the question his most favourable consideration and his support. Attendance.—The average weekly roll-number for the whole year was 2,202*25, as against 2,113-5 for the previous year. The working-average attendance was 1,824*25 last year, as against 1,707*75 for 1894. The percentage of attendance has therefore risen from 81 per cent, in 1894 to 82 per cent, in the year under review. Supposing that the whole of this increase is due to the efforts of the truant officers employed by the Board during the year, the result has more than realised its expectations. Teachers. —The number of teachers now employed by the Board has necessarily increased with the number of schools, and stands at twenty-seven male and fifty-nine female teachers, or a total of eighty-six, including two male and eleven female pupil-teachers. The average salaries of teachers in the " Board " schools—those having an average attendance of twenty-five or upwards —is about £120, exclusive of pupil-teachers and sewing-mistresses. The highest salary paid to any one teacher is £248 10s., and the lowest is £75. Buildings.—The balance in hand on the Building Account at the end of 1894 was £343, and the amount received from the Department on this account was £1,000, or a total of £1,343. Of this amount £1,266 10s. 6d. had been expended at the end of 1895; but there was still due on contracts let the sum of £259 4s. 6d., so that, at the time of writing, the Building Account is indebted to the General Account to the extent of £182 15s. The capitation allowed by the Board to the School Committees, although it compares favourably with that paid in other districts, is very little more than is expended in cleaning schools and outbuildings and providing fuel; and the cost of nearly all the petty repairs is thus thrown upon the Board. At every meeting of the Board applications are received from Committees for grants for repairs and improvements which have too often to be refused. That portion of the Act which contemplates the supplementing of

71

E.—l

the Committee's revenue by voluntary contribution seems either to be overlooked or regarded with disfavour ; but, unless greater consideration for the smaller districts is shown by the Department, the Board will have to consider the adoption of some system of limiting its donations for building purposes to a pound-for-pound subsidy on the amounts contributed by the Committees. This plan, I believe, is already followed in some of the larger districts. New schools have been erected at Okaramio and Onamalutu, and sites have been acquired, and improved, at both places. A new school is now in course of erection at Canvastown, on an admirable site, about to be taken, with the consent of the Native owners, under the Public Works Act. The school grounds in Blenheim have been put in good order, and the furniture and appliances in various parts of the district have been renewed or added to. Scholarships.—The amount of the grant for scholarships to which this district is entitled (at Is. 6d. per head) for the past year was £136, of which amount the three scholarships current absorb only £120. Under the present arrangement the Board receives only what is actually expended, but, until something like adequate provision for secondary education is made for the Marlborough District, the Board would respectfully suggest that the unexpended surplus should be placed to the credit of the Board, for the purpose of giving an additional year's education to one scholarshipholder every three years. The exceptional destitution of the Marlborough Education District as regards the means of secondary education has been more than once brought prominently before the Minister of Education, especially during the last year. The tenure of the pastoral leases, which were to expire this year, has been extended, and the relief hoped for from that source is, consequently, postponed, perhaps indefinitely. At present the annual revenue of the Marlborough School Commissioners on account of secondary reserves applicable to the Marlborough Education District is only £9 per annum. It may, perhaps, be supposed that the advantages of the endowment of the Nelson College are available also for the people of Marlborough; but there is an impression that the interests of Marlborough have been overlooked, or sacrificed for the benefit of Nelson, especially in the establishment of a girls' college there instead of a secondary school for Marlborough ; and the actual advantage accruing to the district consists in the remission of the tuition fees in.the case of scholarship-holders, or a total of £36 per annum. The whole question of secondary education, and that also of public scholarships, require reconsideration. The secondary schools are largely supported by public funds (or reserves) for the benefit chiefly of those who are, or ought to be, able and willing to provide their own children with such education as they desire them to receive, whilst the distribution of scholarships throughout the colony is anything but equitable, and there is no doubt that very many are held by a class of persons for whom they are not really intended. The Inspector's report, which is enclosed, will give all the usual information on the condition of primary education in this district. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. A. P. Seymour, Chairman.

NELSON. Sir,— Nelson, 18th March, 1896. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board for the year 1895. Members op the Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of Messrs. George Talbot (Chairman), Richmond Hursthouse, Christian Dencker, Philip Best, William Lock, William Henry Phillips, jun., Andrew Thomas Maginnity, George Bell Sinclair, and William Norris Franklyn. At the annual election in March, Messrs. Talbot, Dencker, and Hursthouse were the retiring members, and again stood for election, Messrs. Colvin, Beube, Hughes, and Jamieson also contesting the vacant seats. Messrs. Talbot and Hursthouse were re-elected, and Mr. James

B.—l

72

Colvin, of Westport, gained the seat held for so many years by Mr. Dencker. During the year the Board held twelve regular and two special or adjourned meetings, the average attendance of members at each meeting being 7*9. Schools.—At the end of 1895, 109 schools were at work, thirty-eight of these being aided schools, costing the Board the sum of £4 lis. 6d. per scholar in regular attendance, and five household schools, each receiving a subsidy of £4 per scholar. Attendance op Scholars.—The total number of scholars on the roll at the end of 1895 was 5,995, the strict average attendance being 4,854, and the working average 4,958. The corresponding numbers at the end of 1894 were: on roll, 5,975; strict average, 4,715; and working average, 4,799. 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, being precisely the same number as at the end of 1894. Of these, 39 are classed as probationers—practically pupil-teachers—as against 41 at the end of the previous year. It is gratifying to be able to state that the number of uncertificated teachers is steadily diminishing, such as remain in the service being mostly engaged in out-of-the-way schools, which are usually very small and poorly paid. It may be mentioned, too, that though there is a fair proportion of female probationers in the larger schools in the towns who hold certificates, they show a marked disinclination to apply for the teacherships of country schools, even at double their present salaries. School Buildings.—During the year new schools have been erected at Granity Creek, Win's Valley, and Waitahu ; a new room has been built in connection with the boys' school, Richmond ; a. site for a school at Central Takaka has been purchased; cottages have been erected at Sherry and Church Hill; and considerable additions have been made to the teachers' houses at Reefton and Foxhill. Besides the above, which may be described as the larger works of the year, a very considerable expenditure has been incurred in small additions, repairs, painting and fencing, more or less, all over the district; indeed, the cost of these smaller matters is becoming a very heavy charge on the Board's funds. . It must be noted that the balance of the purchase-money of the central school site, £1,300, is still unpaid, and, although a deputation, proceeded to Wellington to lay this matter fully before your predecessor, and received a promise from him that it should be favourably considered when the building vote came to be allocated, the Board regrets that the assistance hoped for as a result of the interview has not been granted. Board's Funds.—The amount to credit of the Board's general account, as distinguished from that for buildings, was, at the beginning of the year, £742 9s. 6d.; at the end of the year it was £737 3s. lid., so that the income has not quite covered the expenditure. The building grant was received very late in the year —17th December —and, although at that time the liabilities of the Board considerably exceeded the available funds, the receipt of the grant has enabled a substantial balance to be carried forward. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. George Talbot, Chairman.

GRET. Sir,— Education Office, Greymouth, 12th March, 1896. 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, 1895: — Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. W. R. Kettle, W. Cameron Smith, Richard Nancarrow, James Kerr, Joseph Petrie, B. McGuire, John Byrne, Frank White, and James Marshall. Of the members who retired in March, 1895,

73

E.—l

Messrs. Nancarrow and W. Cameron Smith were re-elected, and Mr. Stuart R. Harris was elected to succeed Mr. Marshall. Mr. W. Cameron Smith died in August, after a long illness, and Mr. Marshall was elected to fill the vacancy. At the ordinary meeting held in April Mr. W. R. Kettle was unanimously re-elected Chairman of the Board for the current year. During the year the Board held twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting. The following figures represent the attendance made by each member: Mr. Kettle (Chairman), 13; Mr. White, 13; Mr. Petrie, 11; Mr. Nancarrow, 10; Mr. McGuire, 10; Mr. Kerr, 8; Mr. Harris, 8; Mr. Marshall, 4; and Mr. Smith, 1. Mr. Kerr was granted three months' leave of absence, to enable him to attend to his parliamentary duties. School and Attendance.—There were twenty-five schools in operation at the close of the year—an increase of one on the previous year. The teachers in the employ of the Board comprise seventeen males and thirty-seven females, or a total of fifty-four; of this number sixteen were pupil-teachers—three males and thirteen females. In the matter of attendance the Board has to report a slight increase. The total number of scholars at the end of the year was 1,710, as compared with 1,673 at the close of 1895, being an increase of thirty-seven. The classification of the twenty-five schools is as follows : Under 25 pupils, twelve; between 25 and 50 pupils, five; between 50 and 100 pupils, five; between 100 and 300 pupils, two ; between 300 and 500 pupils, one. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in January, when twelve presented themselves for examination—one male and eleven females —two for admission to Class 11., three for admission to Class 111., three into Class IV., and four for admission to Class V. All the candidates passed, four with credit. Scholarships.—The annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held simultaneously with that for pupil-teachers. For the four scholarships—two town and two country —annually open to scholars attending public schools in the Grey Education District, there were twenty-one competitors—six from town schools and fifteen from the country. Building Operations.—The Board received during the year £2,092 13s. Bd., including a credit balance of £1,092 13s. Bd., and expended during the same period £1,255 3s. 10d., leaving a credit balance of £837 9s. lOd. Included in the expenditure was £300 for a new school building at the Blackball; Greymouth School repairs, £163; Dobson School repairs, £77 95.; Paroa School, additions and repairs, £76 155.; Kynnersley School, re-ereefcion of school (blown down), £78 18s. 9d.; Hatters School, repairs, £54 ss. 9d. As all the school buildings in this district are composed of timber, and as the majority of them were built many years ago, it was found necessary to expend a considerable sum in repairs, and a still larger amount will have to be devoted to a similar purpose during the ensuing year; in fact, the grant for building requirements, liberal as it was, will come very far short of our needs in this respect. The Board would therefore express the hope that when the next allocation of the building vote is made this circumstance will be taken into consideration. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. W. R. Kettle, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Hokitika, 11th February, 1896. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1895. The Board. —At the beginning of the year 1895 the members of the Board were Messrs. J. McWhirter (Chairman), J. L. Smith, J. A Boys, J. Staines, J. Grimmond, H. L. Michel, J. R. Hudson, E. Stennard, and McL. W. Jack. In March Messrs. Hudson, Boys, and Smith retired, and Messrs. Hudson, Boys, and J. Chesney were elected. Mr. McWhirter was reappointed Chairman, Mr. Jack Treasurer, Mr. Grimmond School Commissioner, and Mr. Michel representative on the High School Board. Owing to the greatly-regretted deaths of Messrs. Boys and Jack in July and August respectively, extraordinary elections were held: Messrs. J. L. Smith and A. Gumming were elected to fill the vacancies. The Board has held twelve ordinary and three special meetings. The attendance of the members has been as follows : Mr. McWhirter, 15 ; Mr. Hudson, 15 ; Mr. Grimmond, 13; Mr. Michel, 13 ; Mr. Staines, 12 ; Mr. Stennard, 12 ; Mr. Chesney, 11; Mr. Smith, 8 ; Mr. Jack, 7; Mr. Boys, 5; Mr. Cumming, 3. Schools. —During the year thirty-five schools have been open. Of these, three are side schools, four half-time, and eleven aided. Of the latter, eight are household schools. Owing to the peculiar conditions of settlement it is found necessary to maintain a large proportion of aided schools. These, while necessary, are a severe tax on the Board's income, and the educational work of the district is impaired in important directions for want of sufficient funds. It is for this reason that the Board has been unable, by the appointment of even occasional itinerant teachers, to secure due efficiency in physical and technical education. Attendance. —The total roll-number for the district on the 31st December, 1895, was 1,551, a decrease of twenty-three on that of the previous year. The average attendance for the year was 85*3 per cent, of the average roll-number. Teachers. —The number of teachers under the Board is sixty-one, including fourteen pupilteachers and one monitor. An examination of pupil-teachers in the first, second, and third years was held in December, when of twelve candidates eleven passed. Scholarships.—As the result of the annual examination, held in December, four scholarships, of the annual value of £23, £15 10s., £8, and £5 10s. respectively, tenable for two years, were awarded. Finance.—During the year £849 12s. 3d. has been expended in connection with the Building Account. A balance of £743 remains for the expenditure of the present year. An improvement in the attendance owing to the comparative absence of epidemics, combined with rigorous economy, has resulted in a still further reduction in the debit balance in the General Account. This balance has been reduced during the year from £184 12s. lOd. to £79 12s. Bd. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. John McWhirter, Chairman.

REPORT ON THE DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL. Hector's Class (examined 6th, 7th, and 9th December, 1895). This class consists of seventeen pupils, of whom eight are in the first year, four in the second, and five in the third or fourth. Of the first-named division, two pupils, who have studied during only part of the year in a limited number of subjects, were absent. The absence of a pupil in the advanced division was owing to illness. Of the remaining fourteen pupils the work done during the year is very satisfactory. No pupil obtained less than 52 per cent, of the total marks in the compulsory subjects, and a very large majority secured more than 70 per cent. The three pupils most successful in their respective divisions are—E. Fitzgibbon, 2nd year, 96 per cent. ; J. C. Malfroy, 3rd year, 91 per cent. ; Minnie Potts, 3rd year, 89 per cent. The result achieved by the first-named is exceptional.

75

E.—l

The ordinary subjects of study are Latin, English, Euclid, algebra, geography, and arithmetic. Euclid, though compulsory only for boys, was taken with equally good results by the girls, with the exception that French was substituted in one case. In addition, the majority of the class successfully prepared the prescribed course in chemistry. The questions in all these subjects were fully answered, the information required being neatly set down and clearly expressed. While the fact that ten of the pupils examined are, or have been, scholarship-holders has afforded an opportunity to prepare with efficiency an extended syllabus, it is certain that the excellent results I have the pleasure to record could not have been achieved without great diligence on the part of the pupils and skilful direction and instruction on the part of the rector. It is a further matter for congratulation that seven pupils of the class have entered for the forthcoming matriculation and five for competition in the Junior Civil Service examination. A. J. Mobton, Inspector.

NORTH CANTERBURY Sir,— Christehurch, 30th March, 1896. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of North Canterbury for the year ended the 31st December, 1895. The Board.—The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March, 1895, were Mr. J. Joyce, Mr. A. Saunders, and Mr. R. Westenra, all of whom presented themselves for re-election. Ten candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of Mr. Saunders and Mr. Westenra, and the election of Mr. James Wright Sawle. At a meeting held on the 18th April Mr. Westenra was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. At the same meeting, Mr. Saunders, Hon. Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Meredith, and Mr. Munnings were elected members of the Appointments Committee; Mr. Peryman, Mr. Rennie, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Munnings, members of the Buildings Committee; and Mr. Saunders, Mr. Peryman, Mr. Sawle, and Mr. Adams members of the Normal School Committee. The Board held twenty-five meetings during the year, three of which were special meetings. The Appointments Committee met twenty-two times, the Buildings Committee twenty-three times, and the Normal School Committee ten times. The Board's Representatives.—Mr. A. J. McGregor was elected to represent the Board as member of the Akaroa High School Board, Mr. W. Harrison as member of the Rangiora High School Board, whilst Mr. A. Orr and Mr. Donald Williamson were re-elected as members of the Ashburton High School Board. Mr. H. R. Webb continues to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Reserves. The Late Mr. Colborne-Veel. —Towards the end of July, through the death of Mr. J. V. Colborne-Veel, who held the combined positions of secretary and treasurer to the Board and Principal of the Normal School, the Board was deprived of the faithful services of a valuable officer, and New Zealand of one who had for many years identified himself with the progress of education in this colony. Mr. Colborne-Veel had been the Board's secretary and treasurer since April, 1878, during which time the disinterested devotion to the duties required of him by virtue of his office, his assiduous and conscientious discharge of those duties, and his zeal for the cause of education generally, were such as to call for the highest admiration of all who came in contact with him. At an adjourned meeting held on the 7th August, the Board unanimously passed a motion of condolence, sympathizing with Mr. Veel's family in their sudden bereavement, and expressing its deep sorrow for the loss they had sustained. In November the Board appointed Mr. E. Watkins, 8.A., for eighteen years tutor to tbe Normal School students, to the position of Principal of the Normal School, and Mr. H. C. Lane, previously assistant-secretary, and Mr. C. Allard, for many years the Board's accountant, to the respective positions of secretary and treasurer, an arrangement which, on a temporary trial, had been found to work satisfactorily. Conference of Education Boards.—ln June, 1895, the Wellington Education Board proposed that a conference of Education Boards should be held in Wellington during the session of Parliament, to consider the questions of technical education, revision of the syllabus, and other subjects. The Board approved of the proposal, and at a meeting held on the 19th June the Hon. Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. Meredith were appointed to represent the Board at the conference, which was duly held, and resulted in several resolutions being passed, and submitted for the consideration of the Government. School Districts. —During the year 1895 new school districts were formed at Domett, Mackenzie, and Spotswood, for all of which the Government had reserved school sites when laying out the several settlements on the Cheviot Estate ; and prior to the expiration of the year, by dividing the district of Glentunnel, two new districts —viz., Glentunnel and Coalgate—were also formed, the Road Board office buildings at Coalgate continuing to be used for school purposes. With the exception of the changes necessitated by the formation of the above-mentioned districts, and some slight alterations in the boundaries of Loburn North, Woodstock, and View Hill districts, the boundaries of the school districts remained unchanged during the year. On the recommendation of the respective School Committees, the name of the Graham's Road district was changed to Huntingdon, and that of Kirikiri substituted for View Hill Plains. The number of school districts at the end of the year was 170. Schools and School Buildings.—During the first half of the year new schools at Huntingdon, Hornby, and Woodstock, and the three schools at Cheviot —viz., Domett, Mackenzie, and Spotswood —all authorised the preceding year, were completed, bringing the number of separate schools in operation in this education district to 187. Of the latter, seven —viz., Clarence Bridge, Conway Flat, Gough's Bay, Kaituna, Montserrat, Porter's Pass, and Port Robinson—were aided schools ; the one at Port Robinson having been opened in anticipation of the district school about to be established. The Charteris Bay and Pendarves schools, closed in the early part of the year on account of insufficient

E.—l

76

attendance, have not, at present, been reopened. In addition to the schools previously referred to, the new infant school at Woolston, authorised in November, 1894, was put in hand during the year and completed. Additions were also made to the school at Fendalton, and extensive improvements or repairs to the school buildings at Ashburton, Balcairn, Broadfield, Christehurch West, Flaxton, Lyttelton, Newland, Prebbleton, Sumner, and Waikuku. At the date of this report several schools and teachers' houses, as well as many substantial repairs, are in progress. By the end of April, 1895, the money granted for buildings was all spent, and, in order that some authorised repairs which were absolutely necessary should be completed before the winter set in, it became imperative to apply to the Government for an advance on account of the Board's share of the vote for school buildings. The amount received in response to this application enabled the Board to have some of the most urgent of these repairs attended to; but later on in the year, owing to the lack of the necessary funds, it was found impossible to administer to the wants of the various districts, and building operations were therefore practically suspended for the time being. On the remainder of the Board's share of the buildings vote being received, it was decided to proceed with some of those schools, additions, and repairs which were of the most urgent nature, and to defer the remaining applications till it could be seen how far funds might be available. Only by exercising the greatest care and forethought in the expending of the buildings grant can the Board hope to carry on till within a measurable distance of the Government grant for 1896; and it is beyond doubt that many of the schoolhouses, additions to schools, and repairs applied for by the different School Committees must be further deferred for want of funds. Applications for small schools in the country continue to be made, and though in many cases there can be no question that the wants of the settlers are based on genuine grounds, yet the Board, for want of sufficient building funds, is powerless in the matter. The demands made upon the Board in consequence of the annually increasing repairs required to its schools and teachers' houses, which absorb a large proportion of the building fund, prevent the Board from erecting schools in newly-settled districts, however clearly such schools may be called for under the provisions of the Education Act. The total expenditure on buildings during 1895 was £5,260 lis. 4d. Maintenance.—The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances during the year 1895 amounted to £55,109, and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £7,039 14s. 7d.; making a total of £62,148 14s. 7d. The working average for the year was 17,928; but the average of the four quarters beginning with the December quarter of 1894, on which payments were actually made, was 17,923. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore £3 Is. 6d., and the total cost of maintenance, including all incidental expenditure, was £3 9s. 4d. per head. The following table shows the expenditure in salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878 inclusive [not all reprinted]:— v Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. r ' £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. 6. 1878 ... ... ... 31,919 0 6 6,276 6 9 38,195 6 9 1888 ... ... ... 50,749 14 6 6,400 7 5 57,150 6 3 1894 ... ... ... 56,346 11 6 6,958 1 2 63,304 12 8 1895 ... ... ... 55,109 0 0 7,039 14 7 62,148 14 7 Table No. 7 gives a return of the amount spent in each school for salaries and incidentals, with the names and salaries of the teachers employed in each school. The new arrangements resulting from the revision of the Board's regulations as to the scale of staff and salaries have now been in operation since October, 1894. Although the Maintenance Account has not recovered the loss occasioned by the payments under the previous scale, and the reduced attendance during the measles epidemic, yet the ordinary expenditure is gradually being brought more nearly into touch with the Board's income; and the reductions made in the early part of the year on the fees of the normal-school students attending Canterbury College and on the salaries paid to the inspection and office staffs, together with the economy effected by the rearrangement of the latter, will sensibly assist in strengthening the Board's financial position. Teachers. —The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year (besides thirty-seven sewing-mistresses) was 539 —viz., heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge, 149 males, 66 females ; assistants, 35 males, 132 females ; pupil-teachers, 41 males, 116 females. As compared with the number in 1894, there were fifteen more certificated teachers and twenty-four fewer pupil-teachers. The disparity in the number of male and female pupil-teachers continues to be a noticeable feature of this department of the Board's service; and although for some years the supply of masters to fill the ordinary vacancies is assured, still the question of encouraging the entrance into the teaching profession of a larger number of male pupil-teachers is one that may require the Board's consideration at no distant date. Attendance. —The following table shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance: Under 15 pupils, eleven; 15 and under 20 pupils, thirteen; 20 and under 25 pupils, twenty-six ; 25 and under 50 pupils, fifty-seven; 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-four ; 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 and upwards, five. Returns of the numbers and ages of the children, and of the number receiving instruction in each subject, are appended. The following table gives the total number of children on the rolls, the number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance at the close of each year since the Education Act came into operation [not all reprinted] :■ — Quarter ended District Aided Total of n „ „ Average p ov „.„ f „„ 0 31st December.

Regulations.—Towards the end of the year the question of school holidays engaged the Board's attention. From a return called for in September it was apparent that the then-existing regulation, made many years since, had practically become obsolete, and the holidays given by the different School Committees varied in a very considerable degree. To insure a greater uniformity in this matter, as well as to check the practice of allowing holidays of an unreasonable length, the Board decided (the alteration was not finally agreed upon till Bth January of this year) to increase by two weeks the minimum and maximum number of weeks allowed under the old regulations. The School Committees have been requested, when fixing upon the length of regular holidays, to take into consideration the number of irregular holidays necessitated by any cause whatsoever. Two other questions of importance brought under the Board's notice were those bearing upon the conditions under which the teachers at present occupy the schoolhouses, and the necessity for defining more exactly the purposes for which the incidental allowances granted to School Committees are intended to be used. There had been so many occasions on which these matters had forced themselves into prominent notice that it was considered advisable to refer them to the Buildings Committee for their consideration and report. The recommendations of that Committee have been formulated, but, owing to the pressure of other business, have been held over : the two questions will have the Board's consideration at an early date. Inspection.—The Inspectors' annual report for the year 1895, which is appended, with the accompanying statistical returns, gives complete information as to the numbers of children examined, their classification and general proficiency. The number of children present for examination was 20,028, the number of those who failed, with or without the explanation of insufficient attendance, being less by 188 than in the preceding year; the return also shows an increase.of the proportion of children presented in the higher standards. The Inspectors' remarks on the zeal and efficiency with which the Board's teachers carry out their duties cannot but be regarded as gratifying evidence of the care taken both by the Board and School Committees in the selection of applicants for appointments, and, seeing that the large majority of the schools in North Canterbury are staffed by teachers who entered the Board's service as pupil-teachers, must be a matter of congratulation to all those who have assisted in the preparation of our young teachers for their professional career. Early in the year the Board had under consideration a request from the Roman Catholic archbishop and bishops, asking the Board to authorise the inspection of any school in this district under their control; to which the Board replied that in its opinion it was not desirable that any portion of the funds voted by Parliament for the support of our national schools should be diverted to the inspection of any denominational schools. It is with much regret that the Board learns from its Inspectors' report that under the operation of the existing syllabus the education of the higher classes in English grammar "has gone sadly backward," and that " blunders in concords are much too frequent," even "when the evidences of literary ability and of other technical details are most satisfactory." A defect so important and so conspicuous cannot fail to greatly lessen our satisfaction with the general result of our national educational efforts, and must everywhere seriously discount the high estimation in which the result of our New Zealand system has been so generally held. Presuming the opinion of the Board's Inspectors to be well founded, the Board has no doubt that the serious attention of the Minister of Education will be directed to the correction of such an undesirable result, and especially that no attempt to extend the syllabus in other directions will be permitted at the risk of producing such a glaring defect in the power to speak and to write their own language with creditable accuracy, even in those pupils who stay long enough in our schools to pass through the higher standards. Truancy.—During the past year applications for the Board to appoint truant officers were received from several School Committees; but, as the funds at the Board's disposal for building purposes were not sufficient to meet the ordinary demands made upon them, and the General Account was considerably overdrawn, the Board was unable to incur further expenditure, with the view of increasing the attendance, by the appointment of a truant officer. At the date of this report several plans for dealing with -the question of irregular attendance are under consideration; and the Committees which applied to the Board in this matter have meanwhile been recommended to hold a conference of Chairmen of School Committees before the opening of the next parliamentary session, for the purpose of considering the best means to be adopted for dealing with the difficulty. But the Board is of opinion that, in districts where the schools will conveniently accommodate a larger number of children than at present attend, the provisions of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," might well be put in force by the School Committees interested. Normal School. —Owing to the death of the late Principal of the Normal School (referred to under a separate paragraph, and also by the Principal in his report on the Normal School), it became necessary to make new arrangements for the efficient supervision of the training and practising departments. In August, as a temporary measure, and to allow of the whole question being considered by a full Board (several members were then absent in Wellington), Mr. E. Watkins, 8.A., who for many years had acted as tutor, was appointed Principal of the Normal School for three months; and later on in the year, when the continued satisfactory working of both departments had proved the wisdom of such an arrangement, Mr. Watkins was permanently appointed to the position. To enable the new Principal to give the necessary supervision to the whole school, it was decided to allow him some assistance in the training department. Mr. W. A. Robinson, 8.A., of whose ability and suitableness for the special work required the Board had excellent testimonials, was appointed as part-time lecturer, as from the Ist February, 1896. The Principal's report, which is appended, gives the number of students admitted to the Normal School in 1895, and other details connected with its working. Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held on 17th December and following days. The number of competitors for the junior scholarships was 159 (107 boys and 52 girls), and for the senior scholarships the number was 11 (8 boys and 3 girls). The 11— E. 1.

twelve candidates who stood highest in the list of marks in the junior scholarship examination, and to whom scholarships have since been awarded, were Archibald Currie, Henry Shanks, William Gillanders, Catherine Finlayson, Alexander Wansborough, George Mayne, Ada Clothier, Olive Meddins, Maria Wilkinson, Rachel Gillanders, Winifred Gillespie, and Thomas Lawrie; and in the senior examination the scholarships were won by Oliver Gillespie, Madeline Peebles, Mary Counsell, Samuel Steele, and Frederick Kissel. Of the 159 competitors for junior scholarships, 105 came from schools defined in the Board's regulations as town schools, and 54 from country schools. Seven junior scholarships were won by candidates from town schools, the country schools sending up the winners of five; while of the latter, three had entered under the regulations which give country children the advantage of a year in age, and would not have been admissible under the former regulations. It will therefore be seen that the regulations adopted in 1892 have continued to result in a more even distribution of scholarships among the pupils of town and country schools. The scholarships current at the end of 1895 were held as shown in the following table [not reprinted]. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Richard Westenra, Chairman.

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. Sir,— Normal School, Christehurch, 26th February, 1896. I have the honour to submit the following report on the Christehurch Normal School for the year 1895 : — The students' department opened with forty-four new students, of whom twenty-eight were females and sixteen males. One of these was a readmitted student who had withdrawn during the previous year through ill-health. Of the male students one withdrew after holding his scholarship a fortnight, and in the month of July it became necessary to appoint a second-year student in his place. Of the female students two withdrew during the year on account of ill-health, and it was necessary to engage one student of a previous year for a few weeks in the infants' school, and another for about three months in the girls' school. No other second-year students were appointed, as there was a sufficient number of new students to provide the requisite staff. Of the students who had matriculated before entering, all but three had to complete some subjects of study for their D certificate. The work of the year was considerably broken by the lamented death of Mr. J. Colborne-Veel, who had held the position of Principal for the last seven years, and who was this year taking a much larger share in the work of the students' department than formerly. His death, I need hardly say, was most deeply regretted by the whole of the school staff. The subjects of English and history, taken in the early part of the year by Mr. Veel, were after his death taken charge of by Mr. Adams (headmaster of the boys' department) and myself. Mr. Adams took the history and I took the English. In December the Board appointed Mr. W. A. Robinson, 8.A., as part-time tutor, his duties to commence on the Ist February, 1896. Satisfactory results have been obtained in the certificate examinations, in which we have had no failures. Thirty-eight students were sent up for examination in Classes D and E, and all have

79

E.—l

passed either wholly or in part, one of them securing the first prize in science, and another the second prize in drawing. Two students whose studies had been carried on mainly at Canterbury College passed for Class C ; and of the twenty-five students presented for matriculation all passed. I regret, however, to see indications that we shall now have a falling-off in the matriculation work, in consequence of the extent to which Latin is being discontinued as a subject of the pupil-teacher course. In the practising department one change was made in the permanent staff: Miss J. Andersen, relieving teacher in connection with the model-school work, left for another appointment, and Miss Mabel Smith was appointed to succeed her. Reference to the Board's last scholarship list, and to the Inspectors' report at their examination in July last, shows that the school takes a high position, and is effectually fulfilling some, at least, of the purposes for which normal schools exist. The work of the small model school, as commented on in the Inspector's report, though not surpassing in quality that of some of the other departments, deserves special notice as showing the value of that school as an aid in training those teachers who will go to the smaller schools under the Board's control. I have, &c, Edwin Watkins, 8.A., Principal of Normal School. The Chairman of Normal School Committee.

SOUTH CANTERBURT. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1896. 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 December, 1895. Board.—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, Robert Henry Pearpoint, George Henry Graham, the Rev. Joseph White, and the Rev. George Barclay. In February, the Board was called upon to deplore the unexpected death of its Chairman,- Mr.- S. W. Goldsmith, who for the last ten years has filled that office at every meeting of the Board, save on two occasions. The three members retiring by rotation in March were Messrs. Goldsmith, Jackson, and Barclay. Four candidates were nominated by the School Committeee to fill these vacancies—Messrs. Goldsmith, Jackson, Barclay, and Seddon—and, owing to the death of Mr. Goldsmith, Messrs. Jackson, Barclay, and Seddon were declared elected to fill the vacancies. 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., the number present at each meeting being on the average for the year 6*50. At the meeting in April Mr. John Jackson was elected to the office of Chairman. The officers of the Board were the same as last year. Schools.—At the end of the year there were sixty-five full-time schools in operation, the classification of which is as follows: Under 25 pupils, eight schools; under 50 pupils, thirtysix schools; under 75, eight schools; under 100, six schools; under 150, two schools; under 300, one school; under 500, three schools; above 500, one school: number of aided schools included, twelve. There were Native or half-caste scholars attending at four schools—Waihao, Waimate, Timaru (side), and Glenavy. Attendance.—The accompanying table shows the number of scholars attending the Board's schools during the year 1895 :—

Although the capitation has been paid on working average, the above gives the strict average. The working average for the year gives 4,493 against 4,455.

The Board has again to thank the School Committees generally throughout the district for the aid they have granted in the way of subsidies, and for the energetic manner in which all matters relating to the interests and the discipline of their schools have been universally met. The Board this year has been able to meet the views of the aided schools committees by reducing the amount annually required to maintain their schools by 50 per cent. ; whilst the salaries of the teachers of these schools have been reduced but by a few shillings each, the Board meeting the balance required out of its Maintenance Fund. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in the last week in June, when thirty-nine pupil-teachers, together with seven candidates for employment, presented themselves for examination. With the exception of one, all the pupil-teachers passed. Of the candidates, four passed and three failed, the failures including one in the first year and two in the second year. District High Schools. —A special report of the secondary work of the District High Schools was submitted to the Board by the Inspector, which was found very satisfactory, was adopted by the Board, and ordered to be printed. From this report it appears that seventeen scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and eight at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, French, Latin, Euclid, and algebra. The Waimate High School Board has increased its grant to £100 per annum towards the teaching of the secondary subjects in the Waimate District High School. The Board this year has made trial of the services of a truant officer for Timaru and the adjoining districts, and with sufficiently satisfactory results to warrant an extension of the police supervision in the cases of truancy. The Board also has made an experiment in the way of carrying children to school, where the population is scattered and the school distant; and it is to be hoped that those settlers for whose benefit this vehicle system has been organized will eventually see that it should be supported, in order that a fair trial may be made of its possibilities, for the information and guidance of the Board. I have, &c, -The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Jackson, Chairman.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, 11th February, 1896. I have the honour to submit the following report of the examination in secondary subjects at the District High Schools of Waimate and Temuka. Seventeen scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and eight at Temuka. In Waimate the subjects were English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algebra; in Temuka the same subjects were taken with the omission of French. I have much pleasure in stating that the papers afford ample evidence of diligence on the part of the pupils, and of conscientious labour and skilful teaching on the part of the masters ; and that the high standard of proficiency which has been characteristic of the work in both schools for several years is still maintained.

OTAGO. Sir, — Education Office, Dunedin, 19th March, 1896. 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 1895 : — Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Messrs. Henry Clark, Andrew McKerrow, John J. Ramsay, Thomas Mackenzie, James Green, Dr. Stenhouse, Hon. John MacGregor, and Messrs. Mark Cohen and J. F. M. Fraser. Messrs. Clark, McKerrow, and Ramsay retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Four candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in February resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Clark and McKerrow, and the election of Mr. Donald Borrie. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Mr. Henry Clark was appointed. Chairman. The Board held thirtyone meetings during the year. Messrs. Henry Clark and John F. M. Fraser were appointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Donald Borrie was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High School Board. Mr. James Green continues to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Reserves.

Number of Schools.—At the close of 1894 there were 206 schools in operation in the district. In the course of the year schools were opened at Awakino, Capburn, Chaslands, Makarora (head of Lake Wanaka), Merino Downs, Pomahaka Downs, Rough Ridge, and Springvale. There were, consequently, 214 schools in operation during the year, an increase of eight schools for the year. In addition to the schools opened during the year, the Board has sanctioned the establishment of schools at Earnscleugh, Kokoamu (Maerewhenua Estate), and St. Clair. 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, twenty-five; 15 and under 20 pupils, eighteen ; 20 and under 25 pupils, nineteen; 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty-six ; 50 and under 75 pupils, thirty; 75 and under 100 pupils, fifteen; 100 and under 150 pupils, eleven; 150 and under 300 pupils, eleven; 300 and under 500 pupils, ten; 500 and upwards, nine : total, 214. There are five subsidised schools included in the above. Teachers.—There were in the Board's service on the 31st December 550 teachers—2l9 males, 331 females—classed as follows : Male head teachers, 87 ; male teachers in sole charge, 51; male assistant teachers, 54 ; male pupil-teachers, 27 ; female teachers in sole charge, 76 ; female mistresses, 86; female assistants, 63 ; female pupil-teachers, 77 ; female sewing-teachers, 29. The Board has again to report that the supply of fully-trained and certificated teachers continues 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 104 pupil-teachers (27 male and 77 female) 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 11 2 Second class ... ... ... 27 25 2 ... 1 •Third class ... ... ... 35 33 2 1 Fourth class ... ... ... 26 18 8 101 87 14 1 1 The number of young persons of both sexes who are applicants for the position of pupil-teacher continues to be out of all proportion to the number of vacancies to be filled. It has hitherto been the custom for the Board to exempt from the annual examination all pupil-teachers who, before their appointment, had passed the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University. This concession has now been withdrawn. Five pupil-teachers twice failed to pass the annual examination, and their services were therefore dispensed with. School Attendance.—The following is an abstract of the attendance at the public schools of this district from the institution of the Otago education scheme in the year 1856 to the present time. At the beginning of 1878 the new education district of Southland was created, and thirtyseven schools were handed over to the newly-formed Board : —

The numbers for the year show an increase in the average attendance of 342 on that of last year. The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools in the district is shown as follows: Maoris—s males, 6 females; half-castes living as members of Native tribe—s males, 3 females; half-castes living among Europeans —36 males, 34 females: totals, 46 males, 43 females. Number of schools in which there were Maori or half-caste scholars, 9. Scholarships.—Twenty-four scholarships (twelve junior and twelve senior) were awarded at the December examinations. In all 174 candidates competed, 64 for the senior and 110 for the junior scholarships. Eleven junior and sixteen senior competitors gained free education at the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools. The amount expended on scholarships was—paid to holders, £1,398 18s. lOd.; examination expenses, £80 17s. 9d.; total, £1,479 16s. 7d. The following table shows the number of candidates who have presented themselves at the annual examinations from the institution of the scholarship scheme in 1878 to the end of the year 1895, and the number of scholarships awarded each year : —

In Appendix L will be found a return showing the names of those who have held scholarships at any time from the institution of the scheme in 1878 to the present time, the date when each scholarship began, the occupations of the parents, the occupations now followed by the scholarship-holders, and other information [not reprinted]. Inspection.—For a long time the Inspectors have found it difficult to overtake the work of inspecting and examining all the schools of the district, and latterly have succeeded in doing so only by omitting the examination of the District High Schools in the higher work and the pupilteachers in the art of teaching. This year their difficulties were further aggravated by the death of one of their number, Mr. Taylor, who died literally in harness after labouring for twenty-five years with unflagging zeal and industry, first as teacher, then as Inspector, in the cause of education in this district. He was a faithful and assiduous officer, and-has left behind him a fine record of conscientious and honourable service. The Board, at its first meeting after Mr. Taylor's death, appointed Mr. C. R. D. Richardson, headmaster of the Balclutha District High School, as Acting Inspector, and he continued in this position to the end of the year. Owing partly to their examination of the Catholic schools, partly to Mr. Taylor's death, and partly to the circumstance that the District High Schools were examined in the higher work and the pupil-teachers in the art of teaching, the Inspectors, even with the assistance of Mr. Richardson, were obliged to leave forty schools unexamined, situated chiefly in the Tapanui and Catlin's districts. One hundred and seventy-four schools were examined, representing 21,158 children, of whom 13,728 were examined in one or other of the standard classes, 6,581 in the preparatory class, and 555 in the class above Standard VI. Of those examined in the standard classes, 91 per cent, passed the standard for which they were presented. From the point of view of standard passes, this result must be regarded as very good. The mean of the average ages at which the standards were passed is practically the same as that of last year. Finding that the work of inspection was too heavy for three men, the Board, shortly after the death of Mr. Taylor, appointed two Assistant Inspectors, instead of a third Inspector. School of Art and Design.—The report of the Principal is appended.* The classes were attended during the year by 360 students, thirty-seven more than in 1894. This total includes 111 University students and pupil-teachers, eighteen Training College students, ninety-seven students who attended the day classes, and 134 students who attended the evening classes. The Board regrets that the young men of Dunedin, and especially the apprentices in the mechanical trades, have not availed themselves of the classes in machine construction and building construction to the extent warranted by the excellence and utility of the instruction imparted. It is hoped that, as the work of these classes becomes better known, the attendance thereat will largely increase. The second annual examination for the London Science and Art Department's certificates was held in the month of July, and the results are considered by the Board to be very satisfactory, and to afford undeniable evidence that good work is being accomplished by the school. Four students have passed all the personal examinations for the art teacher's certificate. The cost of the school for the year was : Salaries, £828 16s. Bd. ; incidental expenses, £80 9s. 3d.; total, £909 ss. lid. Less fees, £399 3s. 9d. Net cost, £510 2s. 2d. Training College.—During the year the Training College was reorganized on a less expensive basis. Mr. White, head teacher of what is known as the Normal School (which is simply

Manual and Technical Instruction Act. —The Board appointed a special committee to consider the provisions of "The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1895." This committee gave considerable attention to the question of introducing manual instruction into the Board's schools, and of assisting technical education within the district. With respect to " manual instruction," the committee were unanimously of opinion that advantage could not be taken of the Act until the department sees its way to sanction such instruction being given within school hours, and to allow it to count as part of the ordinary school course. It is to be hoped that Parliament will, without delay, repair the deficiencies in last year's legislation to which attention is directed in the report of the Board's special committee, which is as follows : — " We, the committee appointed to report as to whether the Board should avail themselves of the provisions of ' The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1895,' and, if they think they should do so, to suggest a scheme, have the honour to report as follows : After careful consideration, and having conferred with the committee of management of the technical classes, we have arrived at certain conclusions, and have the honour to report as follows : — "In the Act the distinction between manual instruction and technical instruction is clearly drawn. As used in the Act, the term ' manual instruction' means instruction 'in the practical handling of fools and the actual construction of models and other articles in wood, metal, clay, or other material' ; while ' technical instruction 'is defined to mean ' instruction in the principles of science and art applicable to industries, and in the application of special branches of science and art to specific industries and employments. It does not exclude such instruction in the use of tools and appliances as is necessary to the full illustration of the application of any branch of science or art to any specific industry or employment.' The distinction is maintained throughout the Act,' manual instruction' and ' technical instruction' being dealt with in entirely different ways. ' Manual instruction ' is to be given in the primary schools either (1) as an integral part of the ordinary school course, as if that subject had been included in the list of subjects prescribed in the 84th section of the Act, or (2) outside of the ordinary school hours, either by teachers belonging to the school or by an instructor specially appointed by the Board and approved by the Minister. In the former, case no extra allowance is to be made for the subject of manual instruction; in the latter case an allowance is to be made ' for every unit of the average attendance at such instruction,' the allowance being 2s. 6d. for the quarter, and in country districts 3s. 9d. ' Country districts 'is defined to mean ' any locality not less than five miles distant from a town or borough of more than 5,000 inhabitants.' Now, with regard to the provision for manual instruction in the ordinary school hours, the first question that arises is whether the Minister proposes to make any modifications in the present standard requirements. On communicating with the Inspector-General on the point, .we were informed that ' it is not proposed to omit any part of the standard syllabus in consideration of any manual instruction given in public schools.' In these circumstances we should never think of recommending that manual instruction should be added, apart from all considerations of expense, &c. As to the general question of the desirability of introducing manual instruction, we are of opinion that if a scheme could be devised and carried out in which such instruction could be so conducted as to form an integral part of the general education of the pupil, and not for the purposes of imparting the principles of any trade, it would be of the utmost importance to introduce it as a part of the primary-school course. But we are of opinion that the great expense that would necessarily be entailed upon the Board by any scheme that would be at all adequate renders it quite impracticable to undertake the subject under the present Act. It will be admitted that unless the matter is taken in hand properly it were best left alone altogether, because a great deal of money might be frittered away to very little purpose. A scheme of manual instruction issued by the Committee of Council on Education (England) has been brought under our notice by the Education Department, and there can be no doubt that if such a course of instruction as is there laid down could be carried out it would be of the greatest advantage. But the expense of providing the necessary workrooms, tools, and apparatus, together with skilled instructors, would be such as to be entirely beyond the means proposed to be supplied to Boards for carrying out such work. Such instruction, to be of any use in the process of education, must be conducted on scientific principles; and to this end skilled instructors are absolutely necessary. We are aware that it is a common notion that ' manual' and ' technical' instruction consists in children being taught by an ordinary carpenter, or even by an amateur, to make small articles, such as knife-boxes, book-shelves, &c. ; but this shows a complete misconception of the whole subject. The conclusion we have come to, then, with regard to ' manual instruction ' is that it is not practicable to undertake it under the Act. "As to 'technical education,' the Act authorises Education Boards to establish classes for technical instruction entirely apart from the course of public instruction, and to charge fees. It also makes provision for allowing any society or committee (such as the Technical Classes Association of Dunedin), or any instructor approved by the Minister, to establish such classes. An allowance is to be made at the rate of Is. 3d. for the quarter for every unit of average attendance if the class is held for an hour a week for ten weeks during the quarter, the allowance increasing by Is. 3d. for

85

E,—l

every additional hour. In country districts the allowance is Is. instead of Is. 3d. It is to be noted that under this provision the Technical Classes Association would not be entitled to receive this allowance in the event of the Board establishing classes in Dunedin. By the Act the total amount to be appropriated in any one year for the purposes of the Act for the whole colony is not to exceed £2,000. We are of opinion that, in view of the fact that the establishment of classes in Dunedin by the Board would render it impossible for the Technical Classes Association to carry on, the Board should not do anything to interfere with the operations of the Association until the Board are in a position to establish something more complete. As to the country districts, we cannot make any general recommendation, as it seems to us that each case must be dealt with on its merits." Finance.—Appended hereto is a statement of the income and expenditure of the Board for the year 1895. The sum paid for teachers' salaries (including bonuses on classification and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers) amounted tc £62,403 13s. 2d.; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £4,722 lis. 9d.; the sum spent on the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings, and the purcnase of sites, &c, was £8,450 Bs. The Board decided during the year to considerably increase the allowances made to Committees for incidental expenses, and to define more clearly the purposes to which these grants can be applied. The total increase amounts to £1,000 per annum. Truancy.—From the following statement a rough estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : Cases investigated, 411; notices served on parents or guardians under section 5 of "The School Attendance Act, 1894," 269; summons served on parent or guardian under section 5 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," 1; order of Court obtained, 1; penalty summonses issued under section 7 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894 " (dealing with parents or guardians of children who had not attended school the number of times required by the Act), 105. Under the above 105 penalty summonses there were seventy-one convictions, thirty-two cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendants of exemption certificates, and two cases were dismissed. In accordance with section 7of the Act, the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. The total of fines for the year was £7 2s. Regulations, etc. —The Board, after long and careful consideration, adopted towards the end of the year a series of new regulations, having for their aim the classification of all the schools and positions in the same. These regulations come into force on the Ist January, 1896. Their aim and scope are to better regulate salaries and to better secure the promotion of deserving teachers. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. P. G. Pryde, Secretary.

TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Sir, — Normal School, Dunedin, 9th March, 1895. I have much pleasure in laying before you my report on the Training College classes for the year 1895. Forty-three students were enrolled, of whom seventeen were males and twenty-six females. It is with regret that I have to report that Miss Janet Todd, who was in weak health when she entered the college, died of consumption in the early part of the session. She was of a kindly and cheerful disposition, but seemed physically quite unfit for the wear-and-tear of public-school work. The health of the students, speaking generally, has been good, and the attendance at lectures and lessons regular and satisfactory. In submitting this report, I have thought it advisable to lay before you, in detail, the arrangements that have been made in giving practical effect to the Board's proposals with regard to the reconstruction of the Training College. I soon found it necessary, when the Training College and school were placed under one head, to arrange and adjust the work of both departments in a way that would bring them more closely together, and make it possible for me to carry on the work of the whole institution successfully. The time hitherto allotted to the various subjects of instruction has been differently apportioned, giving more prominence to the English lessons, a branch of school work in which the students require as much training as can possibly be given them. The time-tables of the various classrooms have been drawn up in such a way as to enable me to use the ordinary classes for illustrative and practical lessons without materially interfering with the every-day work of the school. I have also made arrangements for giving the students increased practice in teaching. Instead of having

two rooms only available, as formerly, I have now some ten or twelve in which the students are placed for systematic practice in teaching and managing large classes. The college and school have been brought into closer relationship in another direction: I have insisted upon the teaching staff adopting approximately uniform methods of teaching, so that the principles and methods brought under the notice of the students in my lectures may be seen exemplified in the daily work of the school. These changes have had, I believe, a beneficial effect on the practical work of the Training College. The practical course of training has been carried out on the following lines : I have myself given some fifty illustrative and explanatory lessons before the students, pointing out what seemed to me the best way of teaching the subjects. The students were next sent to the various class-rooms to observe the methods adopted by the teachers in giving the kind of lesson under consideration. The trainees were then divided into small groups for practice in teaching the standard classes. These lessons were all given under proper direction and supervision. Two hundred and sixty-five lessons were given by the students in the following branches of instruction: Reading, Standards I. to VI. ; explanation of the language of the lesson, Standards V. and VI. ; grammar and the construction of sentences, Standards 111. to VI. ; arithmetic, infant department and Standards I. and 11. ; mental arithmetic, Standards I. to VI.; and class movements and physical exercises throughout the whole of the school. The students were divided into different groups of three or four, and every one had in this way an opportunity of seeing all, or nearly all, of his fellow-students at work. This provides a mutual system of training of very great value if there is, as there should be, a good spirit of emulation among the students, and a desire to put into the lessons their best skill and energy. In addition to this course of teaching, dealing chiefly with large classes, I organized a small school of some forty pupils with classes from preparatory to Standard VI., where the students had practice in managing several smaller classes at one and the same time. The Education Board readily agreed to fit up two convenient and suitable rooms, in which we have conducted a school modelled, in most respects, on one of the outlying-district schools. The students—one at a time, with another as monitor —were placed in charge for a week or longer, and thus they became fairly familiar with the routine of lessons, the time-table, and the general work of a kind of school admittedly very difficult to manage. Besides the training carried on at the Normal School, the students are enabled to see the method and organization of other schools. They are sent to the associated schools every fifth week during the session. I am glad to say that all the city and suburban schools are now open to the students : the headmasters of High Street, Arthur Street, and North-east Valley cordially agreed to admit the student on the same conditions as the other schools. The work of the associated schools is of two kinds: In the first place the headmaster gives the student what opportunities are practicable and convenient for teaching and for seeing the general work of the school; and, in the second place, the student gives a lesson before the headmaster on a special subject prescribed by himself. The headmaster sends me a report on the lesson, setting forth any point of commendation or of adverse criticism that he may consider necessary on the student's manner, on the order and attention of the class during the lesson, or on the methods adopted in presenting the subject to the pupils. The students are not sent to the schools where they were trained as pupil-teachers, nor to the same school twice, so that they have an excellent opportunity of observing the procedure and organization of several city and suburban schools. I suggest that in future the University students, as well as the others, be sent regularly to the associated schools every fifth week to give a special lesson before the headmasters. I have to thank the headmasters for the assistance they give me in my work. The result of the foregoing practical course of work has been, I hope, to deepen and broaden the student's experience of school methods and school life. I have been all the year emphasizing the importance of acquiring skill in teaching, and with the view of recognising proficiency in this branch of work in future I would suggest that a Training College certificate be issued, at the end of the course, to all students who distinguish themselves in the art of teaching. The literary work has been carried on in much the same way as in former years. At the Education Department's examination eight passed the D, and eight secured a " partial " D, two passed for E, and two a "partial" E. The second prize for experimental science was awarded to Mr. James H. Baird, and the third to Mr. James Niven. Mr. James H. Baird received special mention in science, algebra, and Euclid for class D ; Miss Baird and Mr. Melville special mention in science, and Mr. John Reid special mention in science and school method. Seven of the students passed the matriculation examination. More than one-half of the bursary-holders were this year quite unprepared to attend University classes with any prospect of success, and for such as these the Training College classes in English, Latin, and mathematics give a more useful course of training for their work as teachers than that obtained by struggling through a junior class at the University. All students, whether attending the University or not, were required to attend the strictly technical subjects—school method, science, drawing, and singing. Of the students attending the University, fourteen kept terms. The following passed the New Zealand University examinations as under: First section of the B.A. examination: Miss Charlotte E. McGregor, Mr. William Mawson, Mr. John Reid, and Mr. James H. Baird. B.A. degree : Mr. J. A. Cowie. M.A. degree: Mr. D. A. Strahan, with honours in mental science. Mr. Strahan was the holder of the Normal School exhibition. The Vice-Principal, Mr. R. J. Don, M.A., D.Sc, in addition to his tutorial duties, has given me valuable assistance in the supervision of the students' practical lessons, and in directing the work of the Model School. I have, &c. The Secretary, Otago Education Board. D. White, M.A., Principal.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 6th March, 1896. 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 submit the following report of its proceedings, and of the progress of education within its bounds, for the year ending 31st December, 1895:— The Board. —During the year just closed the constitution of the Board has undergone no change. The retiring members were Messrs. George Froggatt, James Mackintosh, and Thomas Mac Gibbon. Four candidates were nominated by the School Committees to fill the vacancies so caused, and the voting resulted in the re-election of the three gentlemen named. At the Board's meeting in April, Mr. J. Walker Bain was elected Chairman for the ensuing year. The Board met twelve times during the year. The executive committee met twenty-two times, and dealt with a large proportion of the Board's ordinary business, thus obviating the necessity for protracted sittings at the usual monthly meetings. As in past years, the attendance of members at meetings of the Board and executive committee respectively has been extremely satisfactory, as is evidenced by the following record: Board meetings — Messrs. Bain (Chairman), Baldey, Froggatt, MacGibbon, and Matheson, 12 meetings each; Mr. McLeod, 11; Mr. Lumsden, 10; Mr. Mackintosh, 7 ; and Mr. McNab, 6. Executive committee—Messrs. Bain, Baldey, and Matheson, 22 meetings each; Mr. Froggatt, 21; Messrs. Lumsden, Mac Gibbon, and McLeod, 19; Mr. McNab, 10; and Mr. Mackintosh, 9. The average attendance was thus—for meetings of the Board, 8 (nearly); and for the executive committee, 7*4. The two last-mentioned members were necessarily absent from all meetings for a period of about five months during the late session of Parliament. Messrs. J. Walker Bain and Robert McNab, M.A., LL.B., still continue to act as representatives of the Board on the Southland High Schools Board of Governors, the former also acting in the Board's interests as one of the School Commissioners of the Otago and Southland Education Reserves. Schools and School Districts.—At the commencement of the year there were in operation 132 schools. Only one new school—that at Clifden—-has been opened during the year, so that there were on the 31st December last 133 schools under the Board's control. Numerous applications for the establishment of new schools were received towards the close of the year, final consideration of which will occupy the Board's attention early in the year 1896. The new school opened as an experiment during the previous year at Fairfax has justified its existence, and now it has been resolved to establish a permanent school in the district. This action, it is feared, will have the effect of closing the school at Groper's Bush, as the attendance there has fallen below the minimum necessary to afford fair support to a teacher. Of the 133 schools in operation in this district, twenty-two registered an average attendance of less than 20 pupils, and are consequently classed as aided schools ; sixty-seven had an average between 20 and 50 ; while twenty-nine had an average varying from 50 to 150; and, of the remainder, nine averaged between 150 and 300, and two had an attendance of over 500 pupils. In the foregoing calculation, two half-time schools, where they exist, are reckoned as one. In order to provide against probable loss when establishing schools in thinly-populated localities, the Board, in some cases where the attendance is not likely to reach the minimum—twenty—for a regularly-established school, requires that the petitioners provide at their own cost a temporary school-building. In other cases the settlers are required to enter into a bond to make good any deficiency in a teacher's salary should the promised attendance not realise expectations. Such precautionary measures are adopted merely to safeguard the interests of the Board and the prospective teachers of such class of schools. Teachers. —As compared with the previous year the number of teachers in the district has increased by six : there are now 232 teachers of all ranks in the Board's service. These were classified as follows: Principal teacher, 14; head of department, 14 ; head of school, 31 males and 2 females; sole teacher, 52 males and 30 females ; assistant, 12 males and 17 females; pupilteacher, 8 males and 52 females; total, males 117, females 115. From these figures it will be seen that the numbers of males and females employed in this education district are at the present time, as nearly as may be, equal. The following table, compiled from statistics for the past ten years, is instructive as showing not only the rapid increase in the number of teachers employed by the Board, but more especially the abnormal increase in the female teaching-staff daring that period: — Year. Males. Females. Totals. 1886 ... ... ... ... ... ... 97 64 161 1889 ... ... ... ... ... ... 103 82 185 1892 ... ... ... ... ... ... 107 104 211 1895 ... ... ... ... ... ... 117 115 232 These figures (from 1886 to 1895 inclusive) indicate an increase of 20*6 per cent, in the number of male teachers employed, but an increase of nearly 80 per cent, when applied to females. This result has been anticipated; and, so far as this district is concerned, the Board has no reason to feel dissatisfied, but, on the contrary, to congratulate itself on a really satisfactory performance of duty by a very large majority of the female members of its teaching-staff. The spirit of unrest so manifest amongst teachers a few years ago appears to have almost subsided. This is doubtless due to the fact that there is now no lack of thoroughly-qualified candidates to fill all ordinary vacancies; indeed, as reported last year, the supply is now in excess of the demand. In view of this excess in the supply of teachers it becomes a question whether the production of the manufactured article should not be regulated in some way : probably the easiest solution of what promises to develop a real difficulty would be to restrict the examination of persons other than those who are undergoing special training either as pupil-teachers or as normal-

E.—l.

school students. As an alternative suggestion, it seems worthy of consideration whether raising the standard of certificate examinations and at the same time limiting the number of pupil-teachers to be employed in a district would not act beneficially ; more especially if, in the latter case, a period of probation could be insisted on with the view of finally selecting only those candidates who display a natural aptitude for the work. In any case it is quite manifest that many now present themselves for, and succeed in passing, the teachers' examination who have but the faintest hope of obtaining fairly remunerative employment as a reward of their industry, and some who, for the lack of ability to acquire in a practical manner the art of teaching, secure but doubtful success, or prove, it may be, absolute failures. In the cases last mentioned there is nothing but loss and vexation of spirit to all concerned —Board, Committee, and teacher alike. Attendance of Pupils.—ln this connection but little out of the ordinary routine calls for special attention. So much has been written, and in many cases written to so little purpose, on this important subject that to reiterate seems almost futile. To the initiated the reasons and arguments set forth to induce a more regular attendance of pupils at the public schools seem conclusive enough; but to those who, from lack of interest in the educational welfare of their children, are satisfied to accept the public school as a place where they may be sent when there is absolutely nothing particular to do at home, there is no cogency in any argument whatever. It is indeed very hard to persuade some parents that " regular attendance " and " progress in study " are, for the majority of pupils, almost convertible terms. Though during the past year only one new school has been established, still the Board has to report that the attendance has steadily increased. The following comparison with the two preceding years shows the increase in roll-number and average attendance respectively : — Average Strict Year. Weekly Roll. Average. 1893 ... ... ... ... ... ... 9,280 7,117 1894 ... ... ... ... ... ... 9,460 7,465 1895 ... ... ... ... ... ... 9,681 7,644 The working average for 1895 was 7,799. The percentage of average attendance to roll-number is 79 per cent, (nearly), approximately the same as for 1894. These figures represent the highest attendance ever attained in this education district. Apart from an unusually protracted period of inclement weather, no circumstance materially affecting the attendance has arisen. In the great majority of our school districts the Act to promote regular attendance at the public schools is practically inoperative, and will certainly remain so while the onus of instituting proceedings against transgressors is left to the discretion of School Committees. The continuance of payments of capitation grants on the basis of working-average attendance is a source of sincere gratification to the Board, and, now that the equity of such a method of payment has been established beyond a doubt, it is hoped that any proposal to revert to the old order of things will be strenuously opposed. Pupil-teachers.—ln the service of the Board at the close of the year there were sixty pupilteachers—eight boys and fifty-two girls—the proportion of sexes being thus as 1 to 6*5, approximately the same as for the preceding year. Of forty candidates who presented themselves at the annual examination, held in June last, thirty-eight passed, while two only (one each in Classes I. and III.) failed to secure promotion. It affords satisfaction to note that the average quality of the work presented at the examination is characterized as satisfactory, and that some of the defects pointed out by the Inspectors in previous years have, to a large extent, been remedied. The style of the papers with respect to neatness and arrangement is also approvingly referred to. Scholarships.—The examination for scholarships under the Board was held on the 17th December last and following days. In all, forty-one candidates presented themselves at the various centres of examination. The coveted honours fell to the following competitors: Scholarships of the value of £35 each, tenable for three years, to John A. Mcßae (Knapdale), Cyril Wild (Oraki), and George Taylor (Waikaia); scholarships of equal value, but tenable for one year only, to Edith White and James Beattie. To candidates resident in the Town of Invercargill and suburbs, scholarships of the value of £20 each, tenable for three years, were awarded to Cyril P. Brown (Gladstone), and Albert Wheeler (Invercargill Park); while prizes of similar value, but tenable for one year only, ware secured by William Brownlie, Bessie Fairbairn, J. C. Woodward, and Albert Service. The percentages of attainable marks in the case of successful candidates ranged from 60 to 87*3, the latter being the record of Cyril P. Brown, of Gladstone. The Inspectors report that " the quality of the work and the general style of the written papers are uniformly good, there being this year, we are pleased to say, but comparatively little work of an inferior kind." While it is true that a large majority of the unsuccessful candidates obtained a very creditable percentage of marks, it has to be noted that a number at the bottom of the list were credited with very poor results, a fact which seems to indicate a lack of discrimination in presenting for examination candidates whose abilities are only of the most ordinary description, or who are totally unprepared for such a test of scholarship. Teachers are not necessarily to be held responsible for this circumstance, as parents do sometimes fail in a proper discernment of the capabilities of their children, and urge teachers to present pupils who, in their better judgment, would be withheld. From the usual term reports supplied by the Rector of the Southland High Schools, at which institution scholarship-holders are required to attend, it appears that almost without exception the conduct, diligence, and progress of scholars have been entirely satisfactory; further, the records of the high schools show that for years past scholarship students have acquitted themselves creditably at the annual examinations, and the premier positions in the schools have almost uniformly rewarded their diligence. The disbursements on account of scholarships during the past year were as follows : Amount paid to scholars, £490; examination expenses, £22 Is. 6d.: total, £512 Is. 6d.

School Committees.—The harmonious relationship hitherto subsisting between the Board and School Committees throughout the district has been fully maintained during the year. The abstracts of accounts for the year 1894-95 have been duly received and the results summarised. Generally speaking, so far as has come under the cognizance of the Board, the accounts appear to have been carefully and methodically kept; and, with but few exceptions, no fault could be found with the accuracy of the returns as submitted to the auditors. In a few instances, however, Committees did not appear to realise the importance of obtaining and preserving for the auditors' use proper receipts for amounts —many of them trifling, it is true—disbursed during the year. In the isolated cases referred to the Committees' officers should bear in mind that an auditor's duty is to accept nothing on trust, but to pass only those items for which proper receipts are produced : this remark, of course, applies to all expenditure, whether the individual items be great or small. Committees should also bear in mind that by the Board's regulations no portion of the Board's contributions to the school fund may be spent on school prizes, fetes, or entertainments. Expenditure for such purposes can be justified only when the amount so expended has been locally raised. It is very gratifying to report that no less a sum than £834 7s. 9d. was last financial year contributed locally by the various districts for school purposes. This large sum assisted very materially in providing many schools with conveniences and improvements which, in all probability, could not otherwise have been obtained. For such works as shelter- and fuel-sheds, ornamental fencing, and extra aids for teaching certain subjects, especially science, object-lessons, and kindergarten exercises, the Board usually contributes pound for pound, and this provision is largely taken advantage of throughout the district. The Board is again glad to have an opportunity of testifying to the cordial co-operation of School Committees in all that tends to the promotion of the true educational welfare of the district. Inspection of Schools.—Under this heading but little has to be recorded. The Inspectors' report is sent herewith, and therein reference is made in detail to the progress of education throughout the district during the year just closed. •Catholic Schools. —For the first time under authority of the Board, and by request of the managers, the Catholic schools at Invercargill, Gore, Queenstown, and Arrow have been subjected to the usual examination test by the Board's Inspectors. This new departure adds somewhat to the work entailed on the Inspectors, whose time is now very fully occupied. Teachers' Quarterly Returns.—These returns are, on the whole, made up with great care and exactness, and forwarded well within the prescribed limit of time allowed for their receipt. If this enconium were of universal application the necessity for this paragraph would scarcely arise, but as the exceptions only prove the rule, so is it in this connection. Some teachers (a very limited number, it is true) do not appear to realise the great importance of thorough accuracy in the preparation of returns that involve considerations so serious. On the average attendance as furnished by these returns are calculated the amounts paid to Boards by the Government in the way of capitation-grants ; and on the same basis are calculated the salaries paid to teachers, and the school-fund allowances to Committees. Teachers are, or ought to be, aware of these facts, and in consequence might be expected to compile and furnish the returns of attendance at their respective schools promptly and without the possibility of error. It is rarely the case that in any one quarter some returns have not to be referred back for completion or correction. This procedure, when it is rendered necessary, involves vexatious delay in forwarding to your department the usual summary of attendance returns for the whole district. Technical School. —The Board has to report the successful inauguration of a technical school during the year. A building to accommodate about forty students was erected on the site of the Board's new offices, and a commencement made in technical training by the institution of carpentry classes under the supervision of the Board's architect, the following copy of whose first report shows that a satisfactory beginning has been made : "I have the honour to report re the work and progress of the technical school during the first quarter of its existence. Both the boys' and teachers' classes have been attended beyond expectation. The boys' class had a rollnumber of 36, and the teachers' class 15 ; the average attendance for the quarter being 28 and 11*3 respectively. Great interest was taken in the work in both classes, and I can only speak in terms of highest praise of the attendance, conduct, and diligence of all the students. The only drawback was the lack of time to properly superintend the boys' class so as to obtain the best results. They were nearly all beginners, and consequently needed a greater amount of attention than would otherwise have been the case. The time at disposal (two hours) had to be divided amongst them as best possible, but even then the average time I could be beside each to go over them all while at work could not exceed about three minutes, and most beginners need almost constant attention. In spite of this, however, all managed to get a good idea of the handling, &c, of the various tools, and the method of dressing up and jointing timbers. Some of the work done was indeed very creditable. The students provided their own tools and material used, and this fact acted as an incentive to them to gain the value in knowledge. The work undertaken was entirely preliminary, and comprised a description of the tools, the method of sharpening them, the sawing, dressing up, and jointing pieces of timber in various forms. The students assembled first in the small room, where the work of the day was explained and demonstrated to them. Then they went to the benches and followed the instructions given, while I assisted them as far as I was able. They all were engaged on the same work, otherwise it would have been impossible to have made any headway at all. In this way they gained much in theory : perfection can only be attained by constant practice. The teachers' class was a very interesting one. There the already trained mind grasped the rules much more quickly, and the progress made was very gratifying. Especially would I commend the diligence of the female members of the class, pluck and determination making up for the want of physical strength. To sum up, the work of the first quarter may be regarded as a

92

E.—l.

thorough success, and I believe I am safe in saying that every one in attendance now admits that the craft of working in wood is a much more scientific art than they have hitherto had any idea of." Buildings.—Notwithstanding the most rigid economy in its administration of the parliamentary vote for school buildings, the Board finds itself unable from this source alone to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the various school districts under its supervision. School buildings more or less suitable for teaching purposes have been provided in all but seven school districts :, in these latter the temporary structures used are not the property of the Board, and will have to be superseded by properly-equipped school buildings at no distant. In twenty-five school districts no residences have as yet been erected for the use of the teachers. In a great majority of these cases a residence would prove a real convenience to the teacher, who is seldom able to secure suitable lodgings within reasonable distance of his work. During the past few years much has been done to remedy this state of affairs by the erection of small and inexpensive residences of two or three rooms, which, when the teacher is unmarried, answer the purpose very well. To provide for the repairs and painting necessary to the maintenance of over 240 separate school buildings and residences is no easy matter when the limited sum appropriated for school buildings is taken into account. The buildings in this district almost without exception are of timber, and the annually-recurring expenditure necessary to prevent deterioration in value is very heavy. During the period to which this report refers new school buildings have been erected at Clifden and Niagara (Waikawa), the latter superseding the temporary building erected at the joint cost of the Board and settlers interested, which did duty till the permanency of the settlement was assured. The former (Clifden) may be regarded as the pioneer school west of the Waiau. Additions to the schools in the Bluff, Otautau, Tisbury, and Makarewa Districts, in each case rendered urgently necessary by the increased attendance, have been undertaken. In the districts of Eastern Bush, Waimumu, Seaward Moss, Ardlussa, and Springbank, small residences for the use of the teachers have been erected; while additions to the residences at Queenstown and Oteramika have also been provided. Besides the foregoing, the most important work undertaken during the year was the reinstatement of a section of the Invercargill South School, unfortunately destroyed by fire in August last. This work, for which a special vote of £455 was received from Government, was successfully accomplished at a total cost of £460 16s. The total expenditure on account of the foregoing new works (including the South School reinstatement) was £1,826 9s. Id. Painting, repairs, and improvement of buildings absorbed a sum of £917 10s. 7d., chiefly disbursed through the medium of School Committees, while the supply of furniture and appliances and incidental expenditure, such as architect's salary and expenses, advertising tenders, involved an outlay of £335 12s. 5d., the total expenditure on buildings thus amounting to £3,079 12s. Id., which sum was less than the actual receipts for buildings by £241. As against this surplus of receipts over expenditure there stood at the close of the year an unusually heavy list of liabilities, chief amongst which was a contract entered into for renovation and improvements to the Middle School, Invercargill. This work was an absolute necessity, the. building, though accommodating (with one exception) the largest number of pupils in any school in the district, was neither externally nor internally so attractive as it should have been. Now, however, that the ceilings have been raised some 3fft., the walls lined throughout, the outside and inside painted in bright attractive colours, the building is all that a school should be, and will tender good service for perhaps a generation to come. Other heavy liabilities have been incurred in connection with the supply of additional accommodation to teachers and pupils alike, for repairs to existing buildings, and other necessary works. No less a sum than £1,160 will be required to meet these engagements, and will seriously diminish the amount at present standing to credit of the Board's Building Account. Finance and Accounts.—The Board's balance-sheet has been certified by the Auditor-General and duly forwarded to your department. This statement shows the aggregate amounts received and expended in respect of the different accounts. The total sum received, including a credit balance at the beginning of the year of £6,013 lis. lid., was £39,591 2s. 2d. The expenditure absorbed a sum of £34,530 Is. 4d., leaving to credit a sum of £5,061 os. 10d., which balance was almost equally divided between the General and Building Accounts. The principal sources of income were as follows: Capitation-grants, £25,479 Bs. lOd.; primary-reserves rents, £3,744 6s. 2d.; building vote, £2,850; reinstatement of South School, £455; scholarship grants, £512 Is. 6d.; inspection subsidy, £300. Several smaller receipts make up the balance of income. The following were the chief items of expenditure: Teachers' salaries, £25,493 4s. lid.; School Committees' allowances for incidental expenses, £1,757 7s. 2d.; erection of offices, £1,585 7s. Bd.; for school furniture, repairs, improvements, additions to and erection of school buildings and residences, £3,079 12s. Id. The exact amounts standing to credit of the General and Building Accounts respectively were as follows: To General Account, £2,520 14s. 2d.; to Building Account, £2,540 6s. Bd. From the latter will require to be drawn from time to time during the now current year the sums necessary to clear off the liabilities already referred to, and also to carry out all works which may be authorised by the Board during the same period. The statement of liabilities as at the close of the year shows an amount of £565 3s. Id. as standing against the General Account, and £1,160 7s-. 4d. against that for buildings. When provision is made for discharging these liabilities,, the.' actual amount standing to credit, which of course exhibits the Board's true financial position, is reduced to £3,335 10s. sd. I have, &c.,. The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Neill, Secretary. 13— E. 1.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Wellington, 10th March, 1895. I have the honour to forward herewith the seventeenth annual report of the School Commissioners for the Wellington District for the year ended 31st December, 1895. A number of sections were offered by auction in January, 1895, at a fair rental, for periods of twenty-one years, with a right of renewal for a further similar term. Although these sections were well advertised, no offers were received. This, however, may be partly attributed to the large quantity of Crown land in the district either available for selection or just previously taken up, and perhaps upon a more favourable tenure than the terms of lease offered by the Commissioners, and also, we think, largely to the hard winter of the previous year. Inquiries are, however, now being made about these sections, and applications are frequently being received for them. Only three sections, containing an area of 1,021 acres and 17 perches, at a rental of £10 3s. lid., have been let during the year. They are as follows : Section 223, Pahaua, 911 acres; Section 55, Kaitawa, 5 acres 2 roods 35 perches; Section 453, Foxton, 104 acres 1 rood 12 perches. Two leases have expired during the year—Sections 157, 248, 250, Featherston, 50 acres; and Section 102, Masterton, 110 acres. It is intended to offer the former at the next sale, no application for renewal having been made; but the Commissioners have consented to the latter lease being extended for a further period. The total area of reserves now amounts to, in round numbers, 84,301 acres, of which 45,510 acres are let at a rental of £2,364 6s. 3d. The greater portion of the balance consists of sections quite recently gazetted, the certificates of title to which have not yet been issued. The Commissioners regret to report that arrears of rent have increased considerably during the past year. This is partly owing to losses from destructive bush fires and the exceptionally high floods in March, but perhaps chiefly to the depression caused by the low prices of produce. As dairy farming is making such rapid strides in the bush districts, and prices of other farm produce have made a considerable advance, the Commissioners are of opinion that these arrears will soon be considerably reduced. They feel also that they have only done right in not pressing their tenants during a time of depression, and are glad to say that the arrears are now rapidly being paid off. The sum of £8 10s. mentioned in last year's report " for completion of return of lands recently set aside " has been charged under office salaries, in compliance with a request from the Education Department, dated 19th December, 1895, in which also it is requested that the allowances to Commissioners may be specified. These latter expenses are nil, no charge or claim being made by any of the Commissioners for expenses incurred in the discharge of their duties.

The Commissioners would again urge the advisability of making some further provision for secondary education. They have repeatedly called the attention of the Hon. the Minister of Lands to this important appropriation of national reserves, and we again appeal to him to take such action as will place this province in this respect on a footing approximately as near as can be to that of the other provinces. I have, &c, J. R. Blair, The Hon. the Minister of Lands. Chairman, School Commissioners, Wellington.

WESTLAND. Sir,— Hokitika, 9th March, 1896. By direction of the School Commissioners of the Westland District, I have the honour to forward the annual report for the year ending 31st December, 1895. During the year the Commissioners have made an effort to secure tenants for the large number of unlet reserves of the district, but with little success, and the revenue is obtained chiefly from royalties on timber and mining fees. Apart from the poorness of the land included in a number of the reserves, the excessively high rate at which they have been assessed for taxation purposes proves a serious obstacle, as occupiers have frequently to pay an amount of rates greater than the rent paid to'the Commissioners. It is consequently impossible in many instances to obtain tenants at even a nominal rental. This difficulty would be reduced if the reserves held by School Commissioners were brought under clause 3 of the description of " rateable value " in section 2 of " The Rating Act, 1894," whereby the rateable value of pastoral lands of the Crown is, assessed in proportion to the rent paid. This would not affect rates, on land used for agricultural; purposes, and would, by placing these reserves on the same footing as Crown lands, provide means, by which they may be utilised. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. ... Jas. A. Bonar, Chairman.

CANTERBURY. Sir, — Government Buildings, Christehurch, 4th January, 1896. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th of 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 of December, 1895, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st, of December, 1895, was 68,034f acres, producing an annual rental of £16,128 ss. 6d.; of this area, 24,200 acres is contained in Pastoral Run No. 5, which was obtained from the Crown early in 1892 in exchange for agricultural land in the Waimate district. During the year three reserves, containing in all 1,695J acres, were relet by tender for periods of fourteen years or thereabouts; of these, two were offered in subdivisions, but there was little inquiry for same, and one of them (Reserve 1145), containing 240J acres, at Waikari, was subdivided into six lots, as it was represented a demand existed there for small holdings, but this did not prove to be the case, and, after much delay, five lots were let to one man and one lot to another. The Board has, during the year, with respect to sixteen reserves or subdivisions of same, granted an annual reduction of rent for three years amounting to £211 10s. Bd. ; this, together with the reduction of £381 9s. granted last year in respect of twenty reserves or subdivisions of same, makes a total annual reduction of £592 18s. 14— E. 1.

There are no arrears of rent of 1894, and only £91 19s. 6d. is unpaid of the half-year's rentdue in advance on the Ist of May, 1895, which may be considered very satisfactory, and of the unpaid advance November rent, the greater part will be paid during the first quarter of this year. Of the half-yearly rents due in advance on the Ist of November, 1895, a rather larger amount than usual is shown as uncollected, which is to some extent caused by the lessee of Pastoral Run No. shaving put in a claim for relief owing to the loss of stock sustained by him last winter ; and, as his application has not been finally dealt with, his rent was allowed to stand over.

OTAGO. Sir,— Dunedin, 1896. In accordance with Order in Council of the 17th December, 1878, I have the honour to submit the following report of the School Commissioners of Otago for the year ended 31st December, 1895 : — During the year twelve regular meetings were held, at which a large amount of routine business was transacted. In the course of the year the Commissioners leased two pastoral, thirty-eight agricultural, and sixteen town reserves in various parts of Otago and Southland. The area of the pastoral land was 29,590 acres, leased to two tenants at an annual rent of £308 4s. 6d, or 2-|d. per acre. The area of the agricultural land was 1,915 acres, leased to nineteen tenants at £341 9s. Bd. per annum, or 3s. 6fd. per acre. The town sections contain about 1 rood each, and were leased to sixteen tenants at £6 Bs. per annum, or an average rent of Bs. each. The total number of tenants on the Commissioners' rent-roll at the end of 1895 was 835. During the year the sum of £4,285 was received as repayment of loans, and £400 was advanced on mortgage. The Commissioners have for some time made it a rule only to advance money on the security of rural land which could be profitably dealt with as an endowment in the event of its coming into their hands under power of mortgage, and, the securities offered during the year being thus circumscribed, they were unable to obtain suitable investments, and therefore deposited £2,000 in the Bank of New Zealand and £2,000 in the National Bank of New Zealand for twelve months at 4 per cent, interest. In the month of November the Commissioners, having satisfied themselves that the lessee of Runs 193, 254b, 202, and 175b was unable to continue paying the current rent until the expiry of the current leases in 1897, agreed to accept surrender of lease on the 18th March, 1896. Having obtained a knowledge of the land from a personal inspection and report from some of their number, and a recommendation from an expert, the Commissioners resolved to withdraw two blocks of about 6,000 acres each from Runs 193, 254b, and 175b for settlement, and to offer the balance of these runs with Run 202 in two lots of 26,130 acres and 31,332 acres respectively, including four preemptive rights, containing 1,383 acres, which they purchased from the lessee of the runs in question at £1 per acre, including improvements. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears on the 31st December, 1895, £1,913 18s. 6d. has been collected during the first quarter of the current year, and the Commissioners hold promissory notes for £489 16s. of the balance due. Owing to the exceptional severity of last winter, more than ordinary difficulty has been experienced in collecting rents, and, consequently, the amount outstanding on the 31st December was greater than usual As, however, the price of produce shows a marked improvement, the Commissioners hope to collect a large portion of the arrears during the present year. I have already stated in former reports that all rents are payable half-yearly in advance, and, as a considerable number of them are not debited until late in the year, they are rarely paid in time for inclusion in the year's accounts. I should like to explain that, of the items £1,227 18s. Bd. and £37 ss. 9d., shown in the statement of accounts under the head of "Expenditure on Account of Primary and Secondary Education Reserves," £125 was paid to the Southland County Council as subsidy to roads, £61 16s. 6d. was expended on protective works and drainage, £5 12s. was paid for rates, £7 19s. 2d. for rabbiting, while £94 14s. 4d. went to the Government for train-fares, stamps, telegrams, &c. (£43 14s. 3d. of this amount representing train-fares of the School Commissioners from Southland in connection with their attendance at meetings in Dunedin). The sum of £18 18s. 3d. was
