Sess. 11.—1897. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord, — Wellington, 10th August, 1897. 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, 1896. I have, &c, W. C. WALKER. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Ranfurly, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT. This Report (E.-l) and its Appendix, together with the Inspector-General'a Report (E.-1a), the Report of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), and a paper (E.-lc) on Manual and Technical Instruction, furnish full information with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1877," " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," and " The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1895," and contain also the principal statistics relating to matters more fully treated in separate papers, as follows: E.-2, Native Schools; E.-3, Industrial Schools; E.-3a, Costley Training Institution ; E.-4, School for Deaf-mutes; E.-5, New Zealand University; E.-6, University of Otago; E.-7, Canterbury College; E.-8, Auckland University College; E.-9, Secondary Schools. Pupils of Public Schools. For the year 1896 the average daily attendance of pupils at the primary public schools —the " working average," by which the amounts of the capitation grants are temporarily determined —was 110,517. This number exceeds by 17 the number set down in the estimates of the year 1896-97, and is higher by 2,123 than the '' working average "of the year 1895. The estimate of the " working average " for the year 1897 is 112,000, which allows for an expected increase of about 1,500, on account of a gradual extension of school accommodation to the districts more remote from the principal centres of population. The " strict average " was 108,976, differing from the "working average" by 1,541, and being higher by 2,354 than the " strict average " for 1895. Table A shows the increase in the attendance year by year from the date of " The Education Act, 1877."

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1896.

The average number of pupils on the rolls of the schools in 1896, taking one week with another, was 132,725. The strict average attendance for the year was 108,976, which number is to 132,725 as 82-1 is to 100 ; so that 82-1 per cent, represents the degree of regularity of the attendance of the enrolled pupils, and this means that on the average more than one-sixth of them are absent. It is satisfactory to notice that in this respect there is a tendency in the right direction, the percentage for 1877 being only 738, while the percentage for 1896 is 82 # 1, the highest yet attained. Table B shows that the attendance is much more regular in some districts than in others, the percentages ranging from 776 to 86-5.

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1896.

There are four districts in which the " strict average " for the whole year was rather lower in 1896 than in 1895, the differences for the several districts being as follows: Marlborough, 3; Grey, 23; North Canterbury, 8; Otago, 105.

The number of Maori children attending the public schools in 1896 (as shown in the following table) was 2,023. In 1895 the number was 1,894, and in 1894 it was 1,536 ; so that there has been an increase of 487 in two years. The number of Maori children attending Native schools at the end of 1896 was 2,459, and 70 others were at boarding-schools as Government scholars.

Table C contains a concise statement of the particulars set forth at greater length in Table No. 1 (Appendix, p. 1) of the age and sex of the pupils in the public schools. The boys as usual outnumber the girls, and the proportion (51-7 boys to 48-3 girls) does not differ appreciably from the proportion ascertained for many preceding years. The number of children below the age of ten years is still in excess of the number above that age, the proportion being 51*7 to 48 - 3. In 1895 the proportion was 51 - 9 to 48 - l; thirteen years ago it was 59 to 41. The mean age of the pupils is about 9 years 10 months, and the numbers for successive age-years begin to decline at the tenth year. The rate of decline, however, is slight below the thirteenth year, and is not large until the fourteenth year is reached. The number of pupils above the age of twelve is proportionally increasing ; for 1896 it amounts to 25*4 per cent, of the school-roll, whereas for 1895 it was 25-1 per cent., and for 1892 it was only 24-4 per cent. Among the pupils above the age of fifteen the girls predominate in the proportion of 53-2 to 468. This disproportion is probably due to the fact that as compared with the boys the girls are more likely to become pupil-teachers.

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1896.

Table D is a summary statement of distribution in standard classes, of which fuller particulars are given in Table No. 2 (Appendix, p. 2).

TABLE D. —Classification by Standards, December, 1896.

The girls outnumber the boys in the class above the Sixth Standard in the proportion of 51 - 6 to 48*4. In all the other classes the boys are in the majority. The number of pupils in the classes below the class preparing for the Third Standard is to the total as 507 to 100. In the previous year the proportion was 51 - 4* per cent.; thirteen years ago it was 62-9 per cent. Nearly one-fourth of the children are in the preparatory classes; more than two-fifths are in the three lowest standard classes; between 31 and 32 per cent, are in the three highest standard classes ; and less than 3J per cent, in the class above the Sixth Standard. Among the standard classes the Third-Standard class contains more than any other; the Fourth-Standard class is slightly smaller than the third ; and above the Fourth Standard there is a rapid decline. Table E gives for each standard the mean age of the pupils at the time of their passing the examination for the standard. In this respect there is very little change from year to year. On an average, the First Standard is passed at or near the age of nine, and the Sixth at about fourteen, with a mean interval of a year between two standards. The details of this table suggest that the conditions prevailing in different districts are somewhat dissimilar. The concurrence of three conditions—irregular attendance, inefficient teaching, and unusually strict examination —would almost certainly raise the ages for all the standards in any district.

TABLE E. —Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1896.

The aggregate number of children reported to the Inspectors as belonging to the several schools on the several days of examination in 1896 was 131,171, and this number is fairly consistent with the average of the weekly totals of pupils on the school-rolls —132,725. In the preparatory classes there were 40,460 pupils ; in the class above the Sixth Standard there were 2,222 ; and 2,694 were absent. There were therefore (out of a total of 131,171) 85,795 to be examined in

standards, and 71,422 of these passed. This number (71,422) is equal to 54-45 per cent, of the number on the rolls (131,171), and to 83-25 per cent. of the number examined. In the previous year the percentages corresponding to this 54-45 and to this 83-25 were the highest yet recorded, being 54-93 and 84-45.

TABLE F. —Inspection Statistics.

In 1895 the passes were 70,287, and the failures were 12,943, these numbers being in the proportion of 84 - 45 to 15"55 ; for 1896 the proportion is 83 - 25 to 16-75, which is not quite so favourable. The percentage of failures being from this point of view 16 - 75, the corresponding percentage for each standard can be ascertained from Table G, and the result is as follows : Standard 1., 4*B ; 11., 8-2; 111., 19-3; IV., 25-9; V., 26-4; VI., 21-3. These percentages are less favourable in the three highest standards than those of last year, when the percentages for the six standards from the First to the Sixth were —4 - 5, 8-2, 19-6, 23-5, 23-9, and 156.

Table H, though most of the information it contains could be ascertained by studying Table D in connection with the regulations for standard examinations, has its uses. For example, it shows that 54,088 girls are instructed in needlework, although the number of girls above the age of seven is only {vide Table C) 52,261.

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

It is shown in Tables A and B that the number of pupils on the rolls at the end of 1896 exceeds the corresponding number for 1895 by 1,181. Table B carelessly interpreted would lead to the conclusion that the number of new pupils in 1896 was 48,729, and that the number of pupils withdrawn from school in twelve months was 40,117, -plus the difference (7,431) between the number on the rolls at the end of 1895 and the number on the rolls at the beginning of 1896, the net gain (1,181) being the difference between 48,729 new pupils admitted and 47,548 old pupils withdrawn. But these high numbers are deceptive, and are due in great part to removals from school to school, and to such long absences (from illness and other causes) as lead to the striking-off of names and subsequent re-entries. It is not likely that the number of really new pupils in any year is much above the highest number given in any line of Table C, where the pupils are classified according to age with intervals of a year, and this year the highest number in that table is 15,212. A comparision of the age-table of 1896 with that of 1895 shows that, if the correct ages of the children have been recorded, there must have been 15,518 really new pupils enrolled in 1896, and that at least 14,337 must have finally left during the year.

So far as this result can be relied on —and it is almost certain that the statistics relating to standards are more accurate than those relating to age—it seems that about 22 per cent, leave without passing the Fourth Standard, and about 39 per cent, remain after they have passed the Sixth, while those who leave after passing the Fourth and Fifth respectively are about 23 per cent, and 16 per cent. From the other calculation it appears that less than 8 per cent, leave before they are thirteen, and that 45 per cent, remain till they have passed the age of fifteen. Public Schools and Teachbes. The number of schools open rose during the year from 1,464 to 1,533, Of the 69 additional schools, 68 will be found among the smallest, with average attendance below 20. Half-time schools to the number of 54 are counted as 27 in this enumeration, and three small schools, being under one teacher, are counted as one. The mean of the average attendances at all schools is 71*8 ; in 1895 it was 73"2.

TABLE J. —Number of Schools, December, 1896. (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 sewing-mistresses in December was 191, and of other teachers 3,515, including 1,043 pupil-teachers. The increase during the year (including one sewing-mistress) was 130, the largest increase (41) occurring among the women in sole charge of schools, and the next largest ("28) in the number of assistant-teachers. The mean number of pupils for one teacher declined during the year from 3T7 to 31"1.

Omitting pupil-teachers and sewing-mistresses, the number of teachers at the end of the year was 2,469. As is shown in Table M, 2,179 then held certificates, and 18 others had passed the certificate examination. The remaining 272 are accounted for as follows: 96 had obtained "partial pass," 42 had failed at examination, and 134 had not been examined by the department.

TABLE N.—Abstract of Receipts and Expenditure of Boards.

The unusually small amount of the balances (£12,002) is explained by the fact that the larger part of the building vote of 1896 was not distributed until January, 1897. In Table O this part of the building vote is included in the assets, and Tables O and P show clearly the financial position of each of the several Boards.

TABLE O.—Money Assets (and Deficits), December, 1896.

TABLE P.—Money Liabilities (and Balances), December, 1896.

It will be seen that four Boards have each a balance on the wrong side of the Building Account, that two others have eacli a debit balance in the General Purposes Account, and that one of these two has a debit balance when the two accounts are combined. On the whole, the credit balances exceed those on the other side by £22,600. The excess in 1895 was about £17,600, and in 1894 about ,£4,600, so that in two years there has been an improvement to the extent of about £18,000. The general balance for buildings—not quite £6,000 —is very small when combined with the ordinary yearly expenditure on buildings. In 1896 buildings cost more than .£53,000, and the expenditure under this head has never been as low as £40,000 since 1890. Table Q shows

that a great deal remains to be done before the school accommodation can be regarded as quite satisfactory. There are ten schools where the floor-space is less than 8 square feet for each unit of average attendance, and fifty others where the space is less than 10 square feet; and there are 391 schools without dwelling-houses, and 123 schools accommodated in temporary premises.

TABLE Q. —Deficiency of School Buildings.

Education Keserves. The reports and accounts of the several bodies of School Commissioners will be found in the Appendix (pp. 95-107). The following table contains a summary statement of the accounts :—

TABLE S.—Summary of School Commissioners' Accounts.

In 1896 the Commissioners paid ,£37,160 to the Education Boards, the whole of which amount has been deducted from the capitation grants made to the Boards, and has thus in effect become a contribution to the Colonial Treasury. Native Schools. The interest taken by the Maori people in the school education of their children is constantly growing. In 1896 the number of village schools rose from 69 to 74; the number of children on the roll in December, from 2,675 to 2,862; the mean of the weekly returns of pupils on the roll, from 2,656 to 2,874; and the strict average attendance for the year, from 2,084 to 2,220. On the average, the daily attendance was equal to 77J per cent, of the roll-number for the time being. About 9 per cent, of the children are half-castes, about 14 per cent, are European (or inclining to European), and nearly 77 per cent, are Maori (or inclining to Maori). In the four boarding-schools for Maoris there were, in December, 70 Government scholars and 144 others. At the same time 14 boys holding industrial scholarships were apprenticed to employers as follows : Farmers, 5 ; blacksmiths, 3; saddlers, 3; carpenters, 2; printer, 1. One girl was at a high school with a scholarship, and two young men held scholarships of ,£4O a year to enable them to study at the University College, Auckland, and Canterbury College, Christchurch. The number of Maori children at the ordinary public schools has been stated in connection with Table B.

The schools at Puketi and Makora, in Whangape Harbour, which have never been flourishing, were closed at the end of the year; the master had resigned, and the people made no sign of desiring the appointment of a successor. The school at Hicks Bay (Wharekahika), which was closed in 1895, was reopened during the year ; it has a steady attendance of about 21. Six new schools were opened, two of them (Hapua and Eakaumanga) in temporary buildings, one (Eanana) in a schoolhouse removed from Eotoiti, and three (Euatoki, Te Whaiti, and Pipiriki) in new buildings : the aggregate average attendance at these six schools is 240. The demand for new schools is on the increase. Pamapuria has been reopened in this present year after being closed for about three years. A new school at Kokako, near Waikaremoana, was opened in February, 1897. Schools have been opened in temporary buildings at Manaia (Coromandel) and at Utakura (Hokianga). Contracts have been let for schools at Opureora (Tauranga Harbour) and at Te Kuiti (in the King-country). Tenders have been invited for new schools at Karioi (near Euapehu) and at Corinth (Koriniti, Wanganui Eiver); and the Public Works Department has in hand the work of removing the long-disused buildings at Te Ngaere (near Whangaroa) to a site where a school is wanted. It is intended to build at Eao Eao (Aotea) and at Nuhaka (Hawke's Bay) as soon as titles can be secured. At Waiotapu (Thermal Springs District) arrangements are being made for the survey of a site for a school. Correspondence is in progress with the Natives of several other places, who are seeking educational advantages for their children. A school and residence are in course of erection at Taiharuru (near Whangarei Heads), and plans are being prepared for similar biiildings at Kawhia. Schools have been carried on at these places for some time in temporary buildings. The 74 schools were under the charge of 62 masters and 12 mistresses, whose salaries range between ,£B7 and ,£232 ; and there were 62 assistants and 16 sewing-mistresses, with salaries between £5 and ,£5O. The expenditure on Native schools for 1896 was as follows : Teachers' salaries and allowances, £11,744 7s. ; books and school requisites, ,£548 os. 3d.; repairs and small works, £394 18s. 7d.; inspection, £910 18s. Id.; boardingschools and scholarships, £1,892 4s. 3d.; buildings, fencing, furniture, &c, £3,039 4s. Bd. ; sundries, £73 os. 2d. : total, £18,602 13s. Fuller details, together with the Inspector's report, will be found in another paper (Native Schools, E.-2). Industeial Schools. The inmates discharged from industrial schools during the year numbered 189, and the new inmates 203, so that the increase in the number on the books is 14 —from 1,545 to 1,559. In Government schools the number declined during the year from 1,094 to 1,087 ; in private schools it rose from 451 to 472. Out of .1,559 "inmates" there were 528 who, though subject to the control of the schools, were independent of them so far as maintenance is concerned, 94 being with their friends on probation for discharge, and 434 at service. The number of inmates dependent on the schools was therefore 1,031. The number dependent at the end of 1895 was 1,023. The dependent inmates at the end of 1896 are accounted for as follows: Eesiding in the schools, 556 (191 in Government schools, 365 in private schools) ; boarded out, 428 (including 11 from private schools) ; with their friends, 94 (including 24 from private schools) ; in hospital, 5 (including 2 from private schools) ; in lunatic asylum, 3 (from private schools) ; in blind asylum, 1 (from Government school) ; in refuges or similar institutions, 30 (including 2 from private school) ; absent without leave, 8 (from Government schools). It is worthy of particular notice that, although the inmates of the Government schools number 1,087, only 191 (less than 18 per cent.) were actually detained in the schools. Many of the inmates have never once been on the school premises. Innocent children, nominally " sent to Burnham " by Magistrates' warrant, are really sent temporarily to a boarding-house until a suitable foster-home is found for them, and their outfit prepared; and girls com-

mitted because they have begun to lead a flagrantly immoral life, or are in great danger of doing so, are at once sent to a suitable institution. In the Government schools the policy is to board out all children of suitable age and character. The authorities of the private schools do not adopt the boarding-out system.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1895 and 1896.

The inmates discharged by warrant in 1896 were 164 in number. The rest of the 189 are accounted for as follows : 5 married with the consent of their guardians, 8 attained the age of 21, 8 were transferred to the Costley Institute, and 4 died. At Ponsonby an infant boy, 14 months old, died of diarrhoea and convulsions; and three inmates of Caversham died—one, a little boy of 2J, in hospital, of tubercular disease of the knee-joint ; one, a girl of 12, boarded out, of whooping-cough and tubercular meningitis; and one, a girl not quite 10, boarded out, of embolism of the heart. Of the 203 new inmates, 35 boys and 32 girls were admitted as destitute; 12 boys and 5 girls as vagrant; 14 boys and 36 girls as living in disreputable places ; one boy as uncontrollable ; 55 boys and 11 girls as guilty of punishable offences; and, by arrangement, one boy and one girl. The information summarised in Table U is not always very explicit, but so far as it goes it seems to indicate that in 35 cases both father and mother were of unsatisfactory character, in 34 cases the father only, in 44 cases the mother only, in 15 other cases the mother at least, and in 68 cases neither, while for the remaining cases data are wanting.

TABLE U.—Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1896.

The following is a list of the several Magistrates' Courts by which the 203 inmates were sent to the schools, with the numbers sent from each Court: Auckland, 33 ; Paeroa, 2 ; Napier, 5 ; New Plymouth, 3 ; Stratford, 2 ; Wanganui, 3; Patea, 5; Palmerston North, 1 ; Greytown, 1 ; Masterton, 1 ; Woodville, 3 ; Wellington, 52 ; Blenheim, 2 ; Nelson, 4 ; Westport, 1 ; Eeefton, 3 ; Greymouth, 10; Kumara, 6 ; Kangiora, 2 ; Christchurch, 13 ; Lyttelton, 1; Timaru, 1; oamaru,2; Dunedin,32; Port Chalmers, 1; Lawrence, 2; Waikaia, 2; Tapanui,l; Clyde, 1; Invercargill, 6; Campbelltown, 1 ; Chatham Islands, 1 : total, 203. With respect to religious denominations the new inmates are divided as follows : Church of England, 80; Roman Catholic, 72 ; Presbyterian, 38; Methodist, 6 ; Salvation Army, 3 ; Protestant, 2 ; Baptist, 1 ; Church of Christ, 1.

The expenditure for the year was as follows: Professional staff and occasional tuition, £1,055 ss. 10d.; steward, matron, and servants, ,£476 9s. 6d.; housekeeping, £715 Bs. lid.; rent, £470; school and workshop material, £14 155.; medical attendance and medicines, £26 2s. 2d. ; drainage, and removal of refuse, £39 14s. Bd. ; repairs and other work on buildings and. premises, £69 Bs. 10d.; travelling, £73 13s. 4d.; sundries, £52 18s. 6d. The total expenditure was £2,993 16s. 9d., and the recoveries—fees for maintenance, &c.—£2Bl 6s. 6d. Institute for the Blind. The Education Department was responsible for the maintenance of 19 pupils during 1896, and paid £462 ss. 6d. to the Trustees of the Institute on this account. The Department also paid £25 for the annual railway-ticket of the travelling agent of the Institute. Eecoveries from parents amounted to £68 7s. Manual Training and Technical Instruction. Last year a report by Mr. J. Struthers, one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools in Scotland, on " Sloyd and Kindergarten Occupations in the Elementary School," was reprinted by the Department and distributed to Education Boards, School Committees, and teachers, and subsequently laid on the tables of both Houses of the General Assembly.* The writer, using the term "sloyd" to mean " educational manual training," points out that it may be applied not only to that system of working in wood which is distinctively known as sloyd, but to any system of exercises in any material (wood, iron, cardboard, or clay), provided that such system can be clearly shown to be educational in its objects and methods. With regard to kindergarten occupations, he says that they are, if

properly made use of, identical in purpose and effect with the sloyd occupations referred to; that the educational reasons which justify the introduction of either into schools are precisely the same, as are also the educational advantages to be reaped from them. Passing from an enumeration of the various kindergarten occupations suitable for children under eight, he refers to clay-modelling as being capable of refined and delicate manipulations such as will make sufficient demand on the capacities of even the most advanced scholars, and as being used in the schools of Paris as an exercise for the highest classes. Cardboardwork " is capable of or rather demands the utmost exactness, and yet is within the capacity of the average child in Standards 111., IV., and V." Woodwork, " as admitting of the greatest variety of form and manipulation, is probably the sloyd occupation par excellence. It is best calculated to secure the immediate result—viz., development of general dexterity." Ironwork, with or without the forge, he regards as an alternative with woodwork for the oldest pupils, and he has no doubt that other suitable sloyd occupations exist, or may be invented. Mr. Struthers lays it down that " the measure of the introduction of manual work into schools must be the measure in which it conduces to increased efficiency in the general work of the school, and especially in the standard subjects." Having regard to this general condition he is able to report that during the last four or five years the serious treatment of kindergarten occupations in the preparatory classes has spread from a very few schools to practically every school of any size in the district, not only without loss of efficiency in the ordinary subjects, but with positive gain. In the junior standards (1., 11., and III.) manual training has made considerable progress. It is to be found in some form or other in about half the Edinburgh board schools, and " from the favourable opinions expressed by the head-masters in their reports to the Board, a further rapid extension may be expected." Expense of equipment is not regarded as likely to stand in the way of the extension of manual training. " The expense," Mr. Struthers says, "except in the case of woodwork, is trifling; and even in the case of woodwork it is not likely to prove a serious difficulty if once the desirableness of the instruction is recognised." But in the question of staff he finds " a difficulty of the gravest and most real character." The following are some of his remarks upon this point:— " It goes without saying that, if manual instruction is to be successfully given, the teachers of the subject must possess the requisite technical skill. ... I believe that a very adequate preparation might be secured in the case of the majority of future teachers if provision were made in the schools of the large towns, where manual training has been to some extent developed, for some systematic instruction of the pupil-teachers both in the theory and practice of the subject. . . . But, however the necessary skill may be acquired, it is of the last importance that teachers who undertake work of this kind should have a clear and abiding idea of what the object of it is. Hence it is desirable that some theoretical instruction—and discussion—should accompany the practical course. In the case of those who are teachers by profession there should be no great necessity for insisting on the educational aspect of the work. It is the requisite technical skill in which they are more likely to be lacking. Especially is this the case with woodwork (or ironwork) where the acquirement of the necessary skill in one previously destitute of it is a matter of months rather than of days or weeks. Yet it is simply indispensable that a teacher should himself be able to do reasonably well what he attempts to teach others. At first sight, the obvious thing to do would' seem to be to employ a skilled artisan. But this in ordinary circumstances is an expedient of at least doubtful policy. Certainly there are artisans who are by nature teachers, or who quickly apprehend and adapt themselves to the educational aims of woodwork instruction in schools. To take a parallel case, I know of teachers of cookery, not trained teachers, whose grasp of educational objects and methods is as firm as that of those who are teachers by training and profession. But to employ any one to conduct a course of manual training simply on the ground of his skill as an artisan is a most hazardous proceeding." "The Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, 1895," of this colony makes it lawful for airy Education Board to order that manual instruction be given in any public school under its control as if manual instruction had been included in the list of subjects prescribed in the Education Act. The Education Board and Inspectors of the North Canterbury district have had this subject under consideration, and their views are set forth in their respective reports. The Inspectors say : — ■' Beyond the ordinary subjects of the syllabus, among which drawing, one of the most important instruments of manual training, is of course included, nothing has so far been done in the district in

XV

the desired direction except in a few isolated cases where the master, having himself some skill in a manual occupation, has interested himself in cultivating the taste among his pupils, and in a few large infant departments where a short period weekly has been devoted to the simplest forms of manual work—stick-laying, paper-folding, plaiting, colouring—to a certain extent in connection with lessons in drawing or counting. " In the infant department, where freer conditions of method and subject, due to the absence of a prescribed syllabus, exist, the beginnings are most easily made ; and little more difficulty should be found in adapting suitably graduated exercises to the First and Second Standard classes where the prescribed programme is limited to a few subjects, and much time must now be wasted in profitless repetitions. All this may be expected to be done during the usual school-hours, and in intimate relation with existing subjects; but when we approach the Third Standard the question of the time-table assumes a more serious aspect; and, although the occupations contemplated must, if they serve the chief purpose for which they are instituted, facilitate the ordinary standard progress, and therefore secure as good a result in less time than before, we are too conscious of the possibility of futile effort, the result of limited experience, and too anxious not to burden teachers whose powers are already severely taxed, to urge the introduction of additional work. Perhaps the difficulty—which extends also to the Fourth Standard—may in time find its own solution, and in the meanwhile something may be done without undue pressure by an extension to these standards of card-modelling practice in connection with drawing-lessons. In the Fifth and Sixth Standards likewise we cannot see how appropriate manual practice can be wholly included in the usual five hours of instruction ; but the pupils have then arrived at an age when an hour or two extra time weekly spent in a workshop may prove an agreeable relaxation, and the physical and mental energy now expended in the cricket and football field may well find another scarcely less attractive field of exercise. " In the workshop, the schoolmaster who has received a proper training, and who in virtue of his profession understands the bearing of the manual exercises on general education, must in the end prove the most valuable kind of instructor, and probably a modification in the training of pupilteachers a.nd students will in a few years supply the requisite skill; but for the present dependence must be placed almost exclusively on the services of intelligent artisans. It is to the larger centres alone that we can look for such instructors, and in them alone will the number of pupils to be served justify the necessary initial expenditure. " While technical instruction is foreign to the purposes of the elementary school, and manual training in connection with elementary education is mainly to be valued as a means of mental discipline, there is one subject, eminently suited to the elementary school, which is in one view technical, in another manual, the purpose of which, however, is wholly one of direct practical utility. We refer to cooking and kindred occupations of housewifery. The subject has indeed quite as much claim to be recognised as a subject of elementary instruction as reading and writing, and is equally necessary for at least one-half of the community. At any rate, to be able to cook a dinner fairly is much more important for our girls, as a preparation for the business of life, than the skilful manipulation of vulgar and decimal fractions, or a knowledge of the operations of the bill-discounter and the stock-broker. Practice in cooking is indeed only the corollary of the bookish instruction in " domestic economy " which already forms a part of the usual school course, in larger schools at least, and facilities for the practice should, in our view, form an essential feature of a school's equipment. We do not even think it necessary that practice of the kind should be taken outside the usual school-hours. Where practical lessons in the subject are regularly given—that is, lessons in which the pupils contribute a share of the work —we are inclined to believe that the Inspector might fairly be permitted to make some allowance in other respects. A Sixth Standard girl, for instance, might well be permitted to qualify for the Sixth Standard in arithmetic by doing again a Fifth Standard test, and in the Fifth Standard a similar concession might be made by accepting the half of the Fifth Standard work in the subject. Below the Fifth Standard it would not be profitable to go. " Again, in this respect the school of substantial size could alone expect to be fully provided with the means of carrying out the work as completely as is desirable ; but even in outlying districts some attempt might be made with most imperfect appliances. We need not go very far out of our way to regard the gridiron and the saucepan as necessary parts of school furniture, and expect them to be made use of over the school-room fire as instruments of practical instruction." The Education Board reports as follows : — "In May, 1896, the Board held a conference with head-masters and delegates from School Committees, representing large and small schools alike, to consider the question of introducing manual instruction into the schools of this district, and of establishing classes for technical instruction. The evidence then taken, with that given by the Board's Inspectors at a special meeting held shortly afterwards, conclusively proved : (1.) That in connection with the lower standards and preparatory classes only, and that but in a modified degree, could manual instruction be introduced into the Board's schools during the ordinary school-hours without interfering with the present standard syllabus —a syllabus already sufficiently heavy to severely tax the powers of the teachers. (2.) That only in the larger centres would the Board be justified in establishing classes in manual instruction out of the ordinary school-hours. (3.) That, with but few exceptions, the teachers in the Board's service were not qualified to impart manual instruction. After further consideration, with the view of inaugurating the only scheme which appeared practicable, as well as ascertaining to what extent advantage of classes at hours not included in the ordinary school-time would be taken, the Board decided to apply to the Government for a grant of £200 for fitting up a work-room at the Normal School, and providing the tools and apparatus required for giving manual instruction. A favourable reply has been received from the Department, and operations will be commenced so

E.—l

soon as a qualified instructor has been secured and all other necessary arrangements completed. Provided the experiment prove a success, and the Government be willing to supply the funds, without which any extension of the scheme will be impossible, the Board will arrange for similar classes in other centres." Other references to this subject will be found in the reports of the Education Boards of Auckland and Southland, and in those of the Inspectors of Schools of Wellington, Hawke's Bay, Marlborough, and Grey. In the Wellington District illustrated guides for courses of modelling in clay and card-board have been issued to the teachers. Woodwork classes in connection with the public schools have been established, or are about to be established, at Devonport, Remuera, Mauriceville, Paraparaumu, Cross Creek, Wellington, Greymouth, Kumara, Milton, and Balclutha. The class for teachers in Christchurch, referred to in the Board's report, is in full operation; and a Saturday carpentry class, which is attended by both teachers and public-school pupils, has been established in Invercargill. At Cross Creek, where there is a railway workshop, the pupils learn ironwork as well as woodwork. There is a class for clay-modelling at the Wellington Technical School. Drawing is, of course, taught in all the public schools, throughout the standards, as part of the ordinary school course ; 96*1 per cent, of the children in attendance receive instruction in this subject. 'he Department has had lithographed for the guidance and instruction of students a set of thirty-eight exercises in woodwork in use at the Wellington Technical School. It may be observed that the City and Guilds of London Institute provides an examination in woodwork for public-school teachers, which the Department hopes will be made use of by the teachers that intend to qualify themselves for giving instruction in the subject. Besides the classes for purely manual work, of which mention has been made, associations for the promotion of various branches of technical education are in existence in different parts of the colony, and there are indications of a considerable increase in the demands for capitation under the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act. The classes on which capitation was paid during the year 1896 are the following : — Auckland Technical Classes Association: Drawing, carpentry and joinery, staircasing and handrailing, wood-carving, plumbing, graining and marbling, mathematics, shorthand, cookery, dressmaking. Mr. W. I. Robinson's Classes, Auckland: Mechanical engineering, machine construction and drawing. Wanganui Technical School: Drawing, shading from models and from the round, painting still life in oils. Wellington Technical School: Clay-modelling, drawing, design, painting, mathematics, applied mechanics, carpentry, wood-carving, plumbing. Class at Cross Creek, Wellington : Woodwork and ironwork. Greymouth District High School: Carpentry. Christchurch School of Domestic Instruction: Cookery, dressmaking, laundry work. Messrs. Bickerton Brothers' Classes, Christchurch: Drawing, geometry, physics. Dunedin Technical Classes Association: Book-keeping, shorthand, mechanical engineering and drawing, plumbing, carpentry, wood-carving, chemistry, physics, cookery, dressmaking. Milton District High School: Carpentry, agricultural analysis. Balclutha Technical Classes: English, mechanical drawing, shorthand, carpentry, upholstery, chemistry, millinery, dressmaking. Manual or technical work, or both, is also being carried on, or about to be carried on, in classes at Gisborne, Napier, Hastings, Masterton, Palmerston North, Westport, Christchurch (the School of Art, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Gordon Hall, and three schools of shorthand), Ashburton,. Kaitangata, Gore, Waiwera South, Warepa, and Invercargill. With the view of encouraging attendance at technical schools and classes, arrangements have been made with the Railway Department by which teachers

of classes registered with the Minister of Education may give certificates to their pupils which will enable them to obtain railway tickets at special rates. During the year examinations were held upon papers supplied by the Science and Art Department (South Kensington), and the City and Guilds of London Institute, and a number of works were sent home by candidates desirous of qualifying for the Art Class Teacher's and Art Master's Certificates. There were 923 papers and 615 passes. The details are exhibited in the following table.

TABLE Y.—London Technical and Art Examinations, 1896.

The Science and Art Department has been good enough to give the colony permission to retain free of chaxge the casts used at its examinations. Upon the suggestion of the Director of the Wellington Technical School, who pointed out the advantage to be derived by colonial students in industrial and decorative art from a study of good examples of work in these subjects, an application was made to the Science and Art Department for a loan collection of prize works in connection with the national competition of 1896. This request the department was unable to comply with, but it has undertaken to lend for six months a collection of art students' works illustrative of the various stages of art instruction under the department. This collection, which will be exhibited at each of the principal centres, consists of works in the following sub-

Id. A statement of the expenditure for the financial year ending 31st March is contained in the Appendix (p. 8). From an examination of the returns and statements made by the various classes that have obtained recognition under the Act up to the date of this report, it is estimated that the average attendance at these classes is about 2,690. No accurate statement of the number can be made, because in some cases formal returns have not yet been sent in ; nor can the number of individual students be stated, for the reason that many students attend two or more classes. In this estimate, no account has been taken of attendance at classes which, for one reason or another, have not yet been recognised. In the administration of the Act a practical difficulty has been experienced in the provision which limits the periods for which claims for capitation may be made to the four regular calendar quarters. Greater latitude in this respect is required. In reviewing the field of technical education, reference must be made to the important work that is being carried on outside the operations of the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act. The annual Report on the Goldfields of New Zealand (C,-3), issued by the Department of Mines, will contain information with respect to the Schools of Mines, two of which are maintained in districts in which mining is actively carried on, and another is a department of the Otago University (vide E.-6). The number of students in mining in 1896 was about 229. The Government gives two scholarships of £30 or £50 a year in this subject. The annual report of the Department of Agriculture will show what is being done in the way of technical instruction at agricultural experimental stations, fruit farms, and dairy schools. The number of students at dairy schools in 1896 was 128. The Canterbury Agricultural College had 43 students in 1896, and the School of Engineering and Technical Science, a department of the Canterbury College, had 87. Information respecting these two last-named institutions will be found in the report of the Canterbury College (E.-7). Secondaey Schools. Of the twenty-four incorporated or endowed secondary schools, the year's receipts, leaving out credit and debit balances, amounted to £57,642 15s. 5d., of which £26,934 14s. Id. was derived from interest on investments and rents of land (the latter including £2,760 13s. Id. paid over to them by School Commissioners), and £22,450 18s. sd. from fees for tuition. There were 2,614 pupils on the rolls of the schools at the end of 1896, 93 per cent, of whom were above 12 years of age. The following table contains statistics of staff, attendance, &c, in respect of the schools that were in operation during the year. The reports and accounts are printed in E.-9.

University and Colleges. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is printed as a separate paper (E.-5.). The roll of graduates of the University now numbers 546. The number of degrees conferred on students that passed the examinations of 1896 was 69. The number of candidates examined in 1896 was 688 for matriculation, 323 for degrees, and 138 for extra academical professional qualifications, making a total of 1,149. In affiliated colleges there were 677 students in 1896, being 461 men and 216 women. Of these students, 430, being 318 men and 112 women, were matriculated in the University of New Zealand. At the University of Otago were 174 men and 32 women matriculated, and 27 men and 1 woman not matriculated; at Canterbury College were 97 men and 53 women matriculated, and 27 men and 39 women not matriculated ; and at Auckland University College were 47 men and 27 women matriculated, and 89 men and 64 women not matriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.-6, E.-7, and E.-8 respectively.

RE PORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1897. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings daring the year 1896 : — Boaed. —At the beginning of 1896 the Board consisted of the following members : The Eev. Canon Bates, Messrs. T. Cooper, A. E. Harris, W. Lambe, S. Luke, J. Muir, E. Udy, W. Woodward, and J. H. Wright. Messrs. Cooper, Udy, and Wright retired in March, 1896, and were re-elected. Mr. Muir was elected to succeed Mr. Udy as Chairman. Twenty-seven meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. Forty meetings of Committees of the Board were held during the year in relation to accounts, selection and appointment of teachers, and other matters. The members to retire in March, 1897, are Canon Bates, Mr. Lambe, and Mr. Muir. Canon Bates, who was absent during the greater part of the year owing to ill-health, is obliged to give up the work, in which he took a warm interest, and in which his counsel was of great value to the Board. Schools. —The number of schools has increased from 332 to 348, of which number forty-two are half-time schools. New schools were opened at the following places : Hunua (No. 2), Waiotahi (Opotiki), Te Puna,, Tβ Puke (No. 2), Makarau, Orua Bay, Walton, Eawhia and Umawera (halftime), Hohoura and Waihopo (half-time), Waikoukou, Gum Town, (Mercury Bay), Motuihi Island, Harotonga and Mangate (Great Barrier Island) and at Oruaiti (Mangonui). Schools were re-opened at Euapuke, Euth's Island, and Fern Flat (Mangonui). The schools at Hunua (No. 2), and at Motuihi Island were closed after a few months' trial; and the aided school at Woodside (Kaeo) was also closed, but has since been re-opened. The proportion of small schools is larger than ever. There are seventy-one full-time schools, having an average attendance of less then twenty, and sixty-three schools with an average attendance of from twenty to twenty-four. The Board is careful to ascertain the merits of each case in dealing with applications for the establishment of new schools; and no such application is granted if there is already a school within reasonable distance. The question of providing for the maintenance of these small schools has been referred to a Committee of the Board, with a view of lessening (if possible) the present demand upon the teaching staff. A minimum salary is always guaranteed to each certificated teacher in sole charge; and a further allowance is granted for incidental expenses. Teachbes. —The number of teachers at the end of the year was 809, classified as follows : Head teachers—22o males, 107 females; assistant teachers—34 males, 144 females; pupilteachers —50 males, 187 females; sewing teachers —67 females. All teachers above the rank of pupil-teachers are certificated except twenty-four, of whom all except ten have obtained partial classification towards a certificate. The annual examination of pupil-teachers and candidates was held in June. Fifty-four pupil-teachers were examined, of which number only two failed to qualify for promotion to a higher grade. Ninety-five candidates offered themselves for examination, and forty-five of them qualified for employment. New regulations for the employment and training of pupil-teachers have received the sanction of the Minister, and will come into operation after the examination to be held in June, 1897. The frequency of absences of teachers of all grades for prolonged periods has seriously interfered with the regular staffing of the schools, causing changes which cannot be other than detrimental to the progress of the scholars. A scale of payment for assistant teachers has been introduced, and a plan has been devised for the classification of schools, so as to facilitate the promotion of teachers according to merit. Attendance. —The roll number of scholars has increased from 25,594 to 26,607, with an increase of 943 in the (strict) average attendance. There were at the end of the year 585 scholars above school age, and 567 scholars in the class above Standard VI. The number of Maori and half-caste scholars was 1,012. There is evidence of a disinclination on the part of some School Committees to carry out the mandatory provisions of the School Attendance Act. Committees have been furnished with the regulations under which the assistance of the local police may be obtained for the purpose. Scholarships.—Sixty-six scholarships—twenty senior and forty-six junior—were held during the year. The Board continues to receive satisfactory reports of the progress of the pupils at the secondary schools to which they are attached. The examination held in December, 1896, resulted in the disqualification of all the junior candidates except nine. With the sanction of the Minister, however, scholarships were awarded to the fullest extent of the funds at the Board's disposal for the purpose. Technical Instruction. —Little has been done in the way of taking advantage of the provisions of "The Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, 1895." Classes have been carried on at the Devonport and Eemuera schools only. The Board has had under consideration the question of taking over the maintenance of the Auckland Technical School. But after full inquiry it appeared evident that, without a special grant of at least £500 a year, the Board could not meet the additional charge upon its funds. Finance. —The receipts from all sources amounted to £93,392 Is., and the expenditure to £90,451 9s. lid., leaving an unexpended balance of £2,940 12s. Id. To this balance must be

E.—l

added a sum of £803 7s. 10d., due from Building Fund, making a total of £3,743 19s. lid. at credit of General Account at the end of the year. The statutory capitation-grant of £3 15s. a head was applied as follows : Teachers' salaries, £3 3s. 2d.; grants to Committees and other incidental expenses of schools, 6s. 7d.; inspection and examination, 25.; expenses of Board and departmental management, Is. 9d.; unexpended, Is. 6d.; total, £3 15s. Against the balance at credit of General or Maintenance Account were liabilities reducing the net balance on that account to £1,753 13s. On Building Account the liabilities at the end of the year amounted to £5,435 10s. 5d., and the assets to £7,467; but there were further contingent liabilities for works promised, but not yet begun, amounting in all to £3,405. Buildings.—The grant for school buildings was £9,450; larger than usual, but still quite inadequate to meet the increasing demands, or to cope with the rapid development of settlement at the goldfields and elsewhere. The cost of building was nearly 20 per cent, greater than in 1895. At the present time many works of urgency are necessarily postponed for want of funds. The repair and improvement of existing buildings after twenty years' use continue to absorb a large share of the Building Fund. With a view to greater efficiency and less cost, the Board has employed two foremen carpenters at a fixed wage to undertake the erection of new buildings in remote districts, and to carry out other works of improvement to school properties. The painting of the school buildings has similarly been entrusted to two foremen painters, with most successful results. Miscellaneous. —The Board has lost the services of two of its most capable officers. Mr. Henry Worthington has retired from the headmastership of the Wellesley Street School after thirty-one years of honourable and efficient service, both as a teacher of the largest school and as having personally trained a large proportion of the teaching staff now employed. Mr. W. H. Airey, 8.A., was removed by death, after a few days' illness, in the midst of his work as Inspector of Schools. His connection with the Board as teacher and Inspector extended over fourteen years, during which period his duties were performed with the utmost diligence and ability. The Board has striven to meet the wishes and requests of School Committees as far as possible ; and it is satisfactory to report that the cordial relations existing in previous years have been maintained. While acknowledging the valuable help afforded by Committees in the past, the Board would take this opportunity of asking for the exercise of greater vigilance in the supervision of the school property under their care. James Muir, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sic, — Taranaki Education Board, New Plymouth, 6th March, 1897. 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, 1896 :— The Board.— The members who retired by effluxion of time were all re-elected, and Mr. B. G. Bauchope was re-elected Chairman. The Board for the year therefore consisted of the following:— Mr. E. G. Bauchope (Chairman), Miss Heywood, Messrs. G. A. Adlam, E. G. Allsworth, W. Ambury, H. Faull, S. Hill, J. Mackay, and J. Wade. The duties of the Board, owing to the development of the district and various other causes, have been unusually arduous during the past

year. Twenty-four ordinary and three special meetings were held, the attendance at which has been as follows : Miss Heywood, 26 ; Mr. Bauchope, 27 ; Mr. Adlam, 26; Mr. Allsworth, 25; Mr. Ambury, 23 ; Mr. Faull, 27; Mr. Hill, 25; Mr. Mackay, 25 ; and Mr. Wade, 27. In addition committee meetings have been frequent and onerous. The revision of the finance of the Board, and, of the scholarship and pupil-teachers' regulations, the necessity for establishing new schools, the establishment of a District High School at Stratford, school discipline, corporal punishment, and technical education have all been carefully considered and reported on by committees before being dealt with by the Board. Schools. —There were fifty-four schools open in January, 1896, and three have been opened during the year —viz., Denbigh Boad, Mangaere, and Purangi. Three others—Huiroa, Tongaporutu, and Kaiauai—are now nearing completion, and will be opened almost immediately, bringing the number of schools which will be in operation during the current year up to sixty. None of the new schools will be self-supporting, and to carry them on efficiently means a curtailment of the already scanty surplus from the schools in the more populous centres. The Board again respectfully urges on the Minister the necessity for making an additional capitation grant to districts like this, which are being rapidly settled, and where the towns are few in number and comparatively small. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the Board's service at the 31st December, 1896, was 126, classified as follows : Head teachers—l 9 males, 2 females; sole teachers—lß males, 18 females ; assistant teachers—4 males, 13 females; pupil-teachers—s males, 21 females; sewing teachers, 26 females : total, 126. The Board has from time to time, as the increase in its revenue warranted it doing so, revised the regulations so as to increase the salaries paid to its teachers. This was again done last year, and £450 was apportioned among the staff, care being taken that all the teachers in the Board's service participated in the distribution. While the Board is thus improving the pecuniary condition of its teachers, it takes this opportunity of impressing upon them the necessity of carrying on their duties diligently and efficiently. The Board regrets to notice a falling-off in these respects. Several teachers were cautioned, and notified that better work would be expected from them this year. As an illustration of the growth of the district, I may here mention that in 1877, when the present Education Act came into force, £1,606 12s. 7d. was paid to teachers for teaching 496 pupils; while in 1896 £9,181 Is. lid. was paid for teaching 3,091 pupils. The Board is of opinion that tne system of examining Standards I. and 11. by the teachers has not worked satisfactorily, and that it would be an improvement if Inspectors were allowed to revise the passes. Attendance.—The number on the roll at the end of the year was 3,827, showing an increase of fifty-eight for the year. The Board is gratified to find that the percentage of pupils who attend regularly showed a further increase during the year. In 1895 the percentage was 758, and it rose to 775 in 1896. Since the passing of the School Attendance Act the Board has granted a small sum annually to those Committees which put the compulsory clauses into force. Seeing that many of the Committees in the country districts do not avail themselves of these clauses the Board will soon have to consider the propriety of appointing a Truant Inspector for the district. Buildings.—The new school at Mangaere was completed and opened during the year, but owing to the bad state of the roads, which were unfit for wheeled traffic during the winter months, the Huiroa and Tongaporutu buildings are only now nearing completion. The Board anticipates meeting the same difficulty at Whangamomona. The works completed during the year in addition to the foregoing were lemoval and additions at Waipuku School, additions to Eahotu School, and residences at Cardiff and Kaimata. The Board made a thorough inspection of its buildings, and found it necessary to paint externally and internally and to repair a great number, at a cost of £500. Contracts are let for a new school at Kaiaai, for additions to Frankley Eoad School, for alterations to Midhirst School, for new residences at Inglewood and Oaonui, and for additions to the residence at Eahotu. Scholaeships.—Owing to the increase of population in the south-eastern part of the district, the Board held the examination for the first time at Stratford, as well as at New Plymouth. Thirty-four candidates entered, and twenty-four presented themselves for examination. The work showed a marked improvement on previous years. Committees. —There are now forty-two Committees, an increase of six. One new district, Whangamomona, was constituted during the year; the other five have been formed by subdividing some of the larger districts, thus creating a more extensive personal responsibility on the part of the parents in carrying out the provisions of the Act. The Committees show an increasing interest in performing the duties devolving upon them. As mentioned in a former part of this report, several of the Committees have made applications for grants to enable them to enforce the compulsory clauses, and, doubtless, the improved average attendance is greatly due to the efforts made by the Committees in this direction. The Board, having been to a considerable expense in repairing and painting the school buildings, would impress on Committees the advisability of clearing and keeping the school grounds in a tidy condition. A few of the grounds are well kept, but in most cases there is great room for improvement. The suggestion made by the Inspector, that " working bees " be established for this purpose, is worthy of consideration by Committees. Finance. —The income of the Board from all sources, including £2,738 18s. 6d. balance on 31st December, 1895, was £14,258 16s. 6d., and the expenditure £13,216 9s. 5d., leaving a credit balance of £1,042 7s. Id. Against this balance are liabilities nearly covering the amount. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eobt. G. Bauchope, Chairman.

WANGANDI. Sir, — Education Office, Wanganui, Ist March, 1897. I have the honour to submit the annual report of the proceedings of this Board for the year ending 31st December, 1896. Boaed. —The three members who retired by rotation in March were Messrs. Bridge, Beckett, and Pirani. Mr. Pirani was re-elected. Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge, of Feilding, was elected in place of Mr. Beckett, and Mr. Bobbins, of Hawera, in place of Mr. Bridge. The following gentlemen constituted the Board at the end of the year : Mr. Gilbert Carson, M.H.E., of Wanganui (Chairman), Mr. Henry Sanson, of Eongotea, Mr. James W. Baker, of Warrengate, Mr. H. J. Fry, of Makino, Mr. G. A Hurley, of Manaia, Eev. John Eoss, of Turakina, Mr. F. Pirani, M.H.8.,0f Palmerston North, Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.E., of Feilding, and Mr. B. C. Bobbins, of Hawera. Schools.—At the close of 1895 there were 116 schools in operation in this district. During the year new schools have been opened at Mangawhero, Eaetihi, Eewa, Ohakune, Euahine, and Taihape, and Onga Eoad School has been reopened. The school named Beef Creek in the last report has been altered to Mangarimu, and that called Campbelltown is now known as Eongotea. There are now, consequently, 123 schools in operation in this district, the numbers and attendances being as follows : Thirteen schools with an average attendance under 15, fifteen schools with an average attendance of 15 and under 20, ten schools with an average attendance of 20 and under 25, fortythree schools with an average attendance of 25 and under 50, sixteen schools with an average attendance of 50 and under 75, two schools with an average attendance of 75 and under 100, ten schools with an average attendance of 100 and under 150, eleven schools with an average attendance of 150 and under 300, three schools with an average attendance of 300 and under 500. Teachers. —The number of teachers under the Board is 262. Of these ninety-five are male teachers in charge of schools, eleven are male assistants, and twenty-four male pupil-teachers; twenty-eight are female teachers in charge of schools, twenty-seven are female assistants, and seventy-seven are female pupil-teachers. The Board has already thirty-three cadets in its service, but they do not receive any pay, and are not counted on the staff of the schools. Attendances. —The returns show the attendances for the year to have been as follows: — Roll. Working Average. Strict Average. First Quarter ... ... ... 10,138 . 8,165 8,080 Second Quarter ... ... ... 10,145 8,177 8,060 Third Quarter ... ... ... 10,126 8,189 8,120 Fourth Quarter ... ... ... 10,089 8,062 7,953 The average attendance to the roll for the first quarter was 797 per cent. ; for the second quarter, 79-44 per cent.; for the third quarter, 80-2 per cent.; and for the fourth quarter, 7882 per cent.; and for the whole year it was 7954 per cent. The average attendance for the third quarter of the year was the highest, although the roll number was less than for the first and second quarters. Building Operations.—The principal contract works undertaken during the year were the building of new schools at Mangawhero, Eaetihi, Bewa, Mangarimu, and Carnarvon, and of additions to the Eongotea, Hunterville, Crofton, Eangiwahia, and Wanganui Girls' Schools. Taikorea School was burnt down, but was re-erected. Tenders have also been accepted for additions to the Feilding School, and for new residences at Hawera, Cheltenham, and Marton. The Board's carpenters, of whom three are now engaged, have also been fully employed on additions and improvements to Stony Creek, Aramoho, Okaiawa, Kelvin Grove, Kairangi, College Street (Palmerston North), Wanganui Infants', Cheltenham, Momohaki, Foxton, Denlair, Karere, Ashurst, Meremere,

Hawera, Wanganui Boys', Greatford, and Marton Schools. Additions and repairs have also been made to the residences at Normanby, Matarawa, Upper Tutaenui, Momohaki, Brunswick, Ashurst, Warrengate, and Foxton, besides fencing and numerous smaller repairs. The Board has also enlarged and improved its offices by adding to the public office and erecting two new rooms for the Inspectors. These improvements were much needed, and proved to be a great boon to the staff. Training op Teachers.—The teachers' Saturday classes are still continued at Palmerston North and Wanganui. In addition to these, the Board has established a second grade drawingclass at Palmerston North, held on Saturday, for the benefit of teachers in the surrounding school districts who would find it inconvenient to travel to Wanganui. The teacher who gives this instruction is under the supervision of the Art Master of the Technical School, and his classes are well attended. Pupil-teachers.—At the pupil-teachers' examination in June, seventy-five candidates presented themselves, with the following result: First Class—l 4 passed, 3 failed; Second Class— 17 passed, 8 failed; Third Class—2l passed, 8 failed. Fourth Class—2 passed, 2 failed. Scholarships.—For the senior scholarships thirty-nine competed—viz., twenty-seven girls and twelve boys. Three scholarships were awarded—to two boys and one girl. Five boys and five girls qualified. For the junior scholarships sixteen competed—viz., nine boys and seven girls. Ten qualified—viz., four boys and six girls. Four scholarships were awarded—to three boys and one girl. The Board has amended the Scholarships Eegulations to the extent of raising the age of the candidates six months. Compulsory Attendance.—A number of the School Committees have applied to the Board to appoint Truant Inspectors, and in every case the Board complied with the request, but without incurring any responsibility as to payment for services rendered. New Distbicts. —A new district has been formed at Mangamahu, and Committees have been elected at Eewa, Mangawhero, and Anderson Eoad (Ngaire). Technical School. —The school is to be enlarged with the idea of extending its usefulness, and the Board hopes that when the improvements are complete it will be found that their expectations of an increased attendance were justified. A committee of the Board ha 3 been appointed to inquire into the general working of the insticution. Subjoined I beg to hand you the Art Master's report for the year.* Finance. —The general statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance of £2,293 6s. lid. in the General Account, with liabilities amounting to £386 17s. 9d., leaving a net credit balance of £1,906 9s. 2d. The Building Account is overdrawn to the extent of £750 18s. 7d., with liabilities amounting to £1,824 13s. The Board regrets that despite continued representations to the Minister of Education no adequate sum has been set apart for the necessities of outlying districts, where, in some places, tents have been used for schoolhouses. The report of the Inspectors of Schools upon the state of education in this district is forwarded herewith, to which I have the honour to refer you for further information. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. James W. Bakee, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sm, — Education Board, Wellington, 31st March, 1897. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit the following report of the Wellington Education Board for the year ending the 31st December last. Boabd.—Six candidates contested the annual election to fill the three vacancies caused by the retirement of Messrs. W. C. Buchanan, F. H. Fraser, and W. W. McCardle. The voting resulted in the return of Messrs. W. C. Buchanan and W. W. McCardle, and the election of Mr. James Eobertson in place of Mr. Fraser. The Board placed on record its appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Fraser since he became a member of the Board in 1887. In accordance with the recent practice of the Board, the Chairman was elected at the April meeting, that honour being again unanimously conferred on Mr. J. E. Blair, who has held the position from 31st March, 1882. Mr. Blair was also appointed treasurer, that office having always been held by the Chairman. The Board has held twelve ordinary and two adjourned meetings, the attendance of the members being— J. E. Blair, 13; F. Brady, 14 ;W. C. Buchanan, 11 ; W. A. Fitzherbert, 11; W. W. McCardle, 12; Dr. Newman, 12; the Eev. James Paterson, 11; J. Young, 14; F. H. Fraser, 4 (retired at the end of March). The Finance Committee met every month, and carefully examined all accounts before they were submitted to the Board. The Technical School Committee also held monthly meetings to deal with all matters connected with the Technical School. Schools.—At the end of the year there were 118 schools under the control of the Board, thirteen of these being carried on as aided schools subsidised by grants of £3 15s. per head from the Board funds. The classification of these schools on the basis of average attendance is as follows : Under 15 pupils, thirteen schools ; 15 and under 20 pupils, fourteen schools ; 20 and under 25 pupils, twelve schools ; 25 and under 50 pupils, thirty-one schools; 50 and under 75 pupils, fifteen schools ; 75 and under 100 pupils, eight schools; 100 and under 150 pupils, seven schools; 150 and under 300 pupils, seven schools; 300 and under 500 pupils, five schools; 500 pupils and upwards, six schools. New schools have been completed at Blairlogie, Eakanui, Newman, Dreyer's Eock, Ponatahi, Tiraumea, Waikanae, and Eintoul Street; and schools have been opened at Akatarawa, Gollan's Valley, Pahaua, Tiraumea, Te Aupapa, Mangahao, Eakanui, Coonoor, Ponatahi, Waikanae, Sherwood, Ngapopotu, Makomako, and Eintoul Street. Considerable improvements have been made to the school buildings at Pahiatua, Whakataki, Masterton, Gladstone, Carterton, Dalefield, Kaitara, Tauherenikau, Taita, Plutt, Petone, Porirua, Te Aro, Mount Cook Boys', and Mitchelltown. Contracts have been let for Makuri and Mikimiki Schools, and for the removal of the Opaki School nearer the centre of population. The Board appreciates the special grants for buildings made by the Minister of Education, but the continual demands for new schools in connection with special settlements, and the ever-recur-ring necessity for the overhaul of wooden buildings, severely taxes the Board's finances, and a species of false economy is forced on the Board to enable it to find accommodation in these localities. To erect suitable buildings, worthy of the name of schools, has been quite out of the question ; mere shells, without paint or lining, have been as much in several instances as the Board could manage with its hampered finances and bank overdraft. A portion of the current year's expenditure will have to be allocated to complete these schools, and the two expenses will naturally add to the cost oE completion. While fully aware of the rapid and steadily increasing growth at the Newtown end of the city, the Board could do no more than provide for existing wants, and even now application has been made for more accommodation at Eintoul Street, which must as yet be met by renting some temporary room, or providing more accommodation in the existing school. The needs of Boseneath, Oriental Bay, cannot be postponed much longer, as the near schools are all full and have had to refuse admission, and the question of putting another story on Clyde Quay and Te Aro Schools will have to be faced. The new infant school at Petone has relieved the pressure at the main school, but the question of a more adequate and suitable school for the Hutt is one calling for an early settlement. The present school was formerly a concert hall, and is now too old to justify any alteration, even if the character of the building would admit of it, which is very doubtful. The rapid settlement at Brooklyn necessitated some steps being taken to provide school accommodation there. The Board has purchased a suitable site, and hopes during the current year to arrange for the removal of the school buildings from Vogeltown, the situation of that school at the extreme end of Vogeltown furthest from Brooklyn, and the exceptionally exposed position of the situation, render it almost impossible for the younger children to reach school except in fine weather. Buildings.—The Board's credit on building account at the beginning of the year was £66 2s. Id., and the receipts amounted to £220 18s., made up from Government grant for rebuilding Kaituna school £70, and sales of the old school sites at Petone, and land not required at Otaki. The sum of £6,332 ss. 7d. has been expended on this account, thus leaving an overdraft of £6,037 ss. 6d. at the end of December. The £5,860 grant from Government for buildings was not paid over till January. The expenditure is made up as follows : new buildings, £3,520 lls. Bd.; improvements, £1,573 13s. 4d. ; furniture and appliances, £573 19s. 7d; sites, £510 6s. 6d. ; plans, specifications, and inspection, £153 14s. lid. Teachbes. —Of the 118 teachers in charge of schools sixty-five are male and fifty-three female. There are twenty-nine male and fifty-seven female assistants, twenty-two male and 114 female pupil-teachers, and ten sewing-teachers. The Board, being desirous of assisting small country schools, passed amended regulations under which teachers of schools with an average attendance of fifteen pupils are paid salaries of £70 per annum from the Board's funds, increasing to £80 when the average exceeds twenty, and to £100 when the average exceeds twenty-five.

Committees' Allowances.—The Committees are also receiving a capitation allowance for incidental expenses which they would not have received under the old regulations. Grants of £3 15s. per head are made to assist all schools where the attendance is below fifteen. Pupil-teachers.—The last pupil-teachers' examination shows that no less than eighteen failed to pass into the next higher grade, but of these four had joined the service during the year, and a failure was not recorded against them. Four others were absent from instruction class so often that the Inspectors could not recommend their promotion, even where their examination work was fairly satisfactory. The subjects of examination were: English (composition, grammar, reading, recitation, writing, &c.); geography (political and physical) ; science (chemistry and electricity); school management; and drawing. In addition, pupil-teachers of the third and fourth years were examined in one of the following optional subjects : Latin, Euclid, and French. Of the 163 pupil-teachers in the Board's service sixty-eight have passed all their examinations; thirty-two of these hold full certificates and are qualified for promotion as assistants or teachers in charge of small schools, and twenty-one have obtained partial success at their certificate examinations. Twenty-one are in their fifth year, eighteen in their fourth year, thirty-three in their third year, nine in their second year, and fourteen in their first year. Attendance. —The attendance during the year has increased from 13,048 to 13,541, with an average of 11,202 against 10,736 for last year. Of the children at the schools at the end of the year, 101 were Maoris, sixteen half-castes living in Native fashion, and fifty half-castes living in European fashion —a total of 167. Tbuancy.—The Board felt that the time had come when they must take some action to meet the difficulties in the way of enforcing the provisions of the School Attendance Act, and they therefore appointed a Truant Officer to take up his duties when the schools resumed after the Christmas holidays. The efforts of this officer should show a material improvement in the average attendance, and be the means of placing in the schools a considerable number of children whose attendance is extremely irregular, or who do not appear to be receiving any education. If the Board's anticipations are realised, the question of more adequate school accommodation in the city will have to be considered at an early date. Scholarships.—The annual examination for the scholarships offered by the Board brought together 174 candidates to compete, but of these 114 failed to obtain half marks in both English and arithmetic; forty-one failed in English and 110 in arithmetic. Of the sixty candidates who obtained 50 per cent, in English and arithmetic, twelve belonged to the Wairarapa district, seven to the country districts, and forty-one to the schools of the city. With a view to more evenly distribute these scholarships, the Board proposes to classify schools somewhat on the basis of their attendances, so that small schools with one or more teachers shall not be called to compete somewhat unfairly against the larger schools. Past experience has shown that under the existing regulations the scholarships are generally taken by children from schools where the attendance admits of most attention being given to the higher standards by the head master, or more especially by the first assistant, schools under one teacher only being rarely represented among the winners. School Districts. —In consequence of the improvement of several of the country schools, and the opening of schools in the new settlements, the Board constituted separate school districts for Eakanui, Pongaroa, Nikau, Makomako, Mangahao, Makairo, Coonoor, Tiraumea, Waikanae, and a new district was constituted at Wellington South in accordance with the wishes of the householders. Inspection.—From the exhaustive report of the Inspectors of Schools, it will be seen that special stress is laid on the importance of regular attendance in all our schools. The Inspectors strongly urge the need of a central school to meet the case of very backward and neglected children, whose school life under existing circumstances is nil or very brief, and whose attendance is extremely irregular. There were 8,977 children actually examined in standards, exclusive of 349 who had previously passed the Sixth Standard, and of those 7,559 or 84 per cent, passed the examination. In many schools the Inspectors have to commend exceptionally good classes in which model systematic work was done. Special menti6n is made of several teachers in whose classes there is a style of ready fluency and correct emphasis of reading taught, which seems to approach the Inspector's ideal of perfect work. The report, which is unusually interesting and suggestive, contains a summary of results for the whole district and a summary of the results for each school. Technical. —The annual report of the Director of the Technical School* gives a full account of the work done in this department. In the first grade drawing examination, 6,109 papers were issued ; 5,526 were worked, of which 3,593 were passes; 437 papers were taken by schools not under this Board. A total of 6,991 papers in all subjects were examined, and 4,244 certificates were issued. The results of the examination by the Science and Art Department of South Kensington were again satisfactory. Free instruction is given to eighty-two teachers, sixty-two scholarship-holders in day classes, and nineteen teachers in evening classes. The Director regrets the lack of interest shown in the technical classes by many of the employers. Singing.—Mr. Robert Parker, the Board's instructor in singing, submits his report. He shows the continued interest and satisfactory progress in the subject which has been entrusted to him. From eighty to one hundred teachers attend the Saturday class held in the lecture-hall of the Board offices, and about thirty-five teachers attend the monthly class held at the school at Masterton. Mr. Parker speaks in the highest terms of the enthusiasm shown by the teachers who attend his classes, and points to the fitness with which many young teachers who attend now come to the examination in music held in connection with the certificate examination. His report is interesting and valuable. Evidence of the good work now generally done in singing was shown by the performance at the opening ceremony of the Industrial Exhibition of 350 children selected from the city schools. Mr. Parker suggests the issue of a special certificate to those teachers who show the necessary aptitude and attainments.

Finances.—The balance-sheet shows a total expenditure of £49,230 os. 10d., of which £34,996 13s. 3d. was on account of teachers' salaries, £3,463 os. 6d. to committees, and £6,322 ss. 7d. on account of school buildings. The Board's finances are now in a more satisfactory condition than last year, and will enable all increases of salaries to be made in full, as sanctioned some time ago by the Board. The Board had to pay £97 16s. 9d. to the bank on overdraft. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. R. Blair, Chairman.

Ebport of the Instbuctoe in Singing. Sir,— Wellington, 27th March, 1897. I am glad to be able to report continued interest and, on the whole, satisfactory progress in the subject which has been entrusted to me by the Board. My principal class, at which I have the satisfaction of seeing a weekly attendance of from eighty to a hundred teachers and pupil-teachers, is held on Saturday mornings ; and I also hold a supplementary class on Wednesday afternoons for those pupil-teachers who do not find it convenient to attend on Saturdays. Once in each month I visit Masterton, where I have an excellent class of about thirty-five teachers ; much of oar success there is due to the trouble taken and the excellent arrangements made by Mr. Jackson for our comfort and convenience. Several members of this class come long distances and sacrifice much time in order to be present, and our work has been rendered more efficient and interesting by the excellent instrument which, with the Board's assistance, has recently been provided for the Masterton School. 1 think that perhaps the best evidence of the good work now generally done in singing was the performance by some 350 children, representing all the city schools, at the opening ceremony of the recent Exhibition; a performance which gave great satisfaction and pleasure to all who heard it, and for which the credit was largely due to the various teachers who provided me with such excellent material. It would, I think, give great satisfaction if such a demonstration could be given annually. Further evidence of good work is also shown by the fitness with which many young teachers now come to the examination in music held by the Education Department in connection with the E certificate ; the preparation for which was, until recently, so far as my experience of this district is concerned, most inadequate and perfunctory. In connection with this latter point I would suggest that, for those teachers who show the necessary aptitude and attainments, a special certificate, similar to the School-music Teachers' Certificate issued in England, should be awarded. The idea has been warmly commended by some of the most experienced teachers in the Board's service, and I hope soon to lay the matter in detail before the Inspectors for their approval and recommendation. Happily, there is now little need to urge that singing, like other subjects, if taught at all should be taught well; for apart from the lifelong pleasure which the subject is capable of giving to those so taught in early childhood, it is in itself not only one of the most recreative and refining, but also one of the healthiest possible exercises for both mind and body. I have, &c, . EOBBET PaKKEB, The Chairman, Wellington Board of Education. Instructor in Singing.

HAWKE'S BAY. S IX) Education Office, Napier, 20th January, 1897. I have the honour to forward a report of the proceedings of the Hawke's Bay Education Board for the year 1896. The Board consists of the following members—viz., the Hon. J. D. Ormond, M.L.C. (Chairman), J. W. Carlile, Esq., J. G. Gilberd, Esq.. R. Harding, Esq., Captain W. R. Russell, M.H.R., Rev. D. Sidev, D.D., F. Sutton, Esq., T. Tanner, Esq., and F. W. Williams, Esq. Schools. —Five new schools have been opened during the past year—viz., Mangatu, Umutaoroa, Portland Island, Puketitiri, and Wanstead. The three last are aided schools. Two new schools will be opened at Pohui and Wakarara at the commencement of the coming school year.

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: —

Gisborne Disteict High School. —This school was opened at the commencement of the school year under the new agreement entered into between the Education Board and the Governors of Gisbome High School. A building has been erected adjoining the present district school building by the Board of Governors at a cost of £275. The Board of Governors has furnished the school with a set of scientific apparatus. There is no doubt that this school will be a great boon to the inhabitants of Gisborne and surrounding districts. School Committees. —It is a matter for congratulation that the most friendly relations exist between the School Committees and the Education Board. The Committees continue to subsidise the grants made by the Board for carrying out small but necessary works. Scholarships.—Twenty-six new scholarships have been granted for the year 1897, viz., two of £50, for a term of two years ; one of £50, for a term of one year; seven of £30, for a term of two years ; sixteen of £10, for a term of two years. Twelve of these were obtained by candidates from the country schools. The amended scholarship regulations embodying the addition of English history and elementary science works well. Pupil-teacheks.—lt has been found that the permission given to make the E examination the test for the examination of pupil-teachers of the fourth year has been unsuitable and has been discontinued. The disinclination of young men to embrace the profession of teaching still continues, only two appointments out of fifteen having been made of young men during the last twelve months. Sewing.—This branch of technical education continues to be fostered by the holding of an annual competitive examination for all schools in the district. The suggestions of the examiners have been well carried out, and show good results : 1,973 specimens were submitted for examination. Buildings.—One new school has been built during the past year; one that was burnt down by a late bush fire has been re-erected ; the Woodville School has been to a large extent renewed, owing to decay from the weevil insect; and very large additions have been made to Havelock, Dannevirke, Gisborne, Napier, and Ormondville Schools. A new teacher's residence has also been erected at Kaikora. A grant has been passed for the erection of a new school on the Western Spit. The Board has again to call attention to the utter inadequacy of the grant for building purposes. During last session of Parliament a grant was passed to assist in the erection of school buildings in special and bush settlements, but the amount allocated to this Board was so small that it could not take advantage of the same from lack of funds to supplement the grant. The Inspector of Schools' report, treating generally upon the progress of education in this district during the year 1896, is forwarded herewith. The audited sheet of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereto. The amount paid in teachers' salaries, bonus for results, and bonus for instructing pupil-teachers was £19,544 Bs. 7d.; the amount paid to School Committees was £2,247 9s. Id.; and the amount expended in school buildings, £4,031 17s. 6d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. D. Okmond, Chairman.

MAELBOEOUGH. Sib,— Blenheim, 18th March, 1897. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Marlborough for the year ending 31st December, 1896. At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following persons : The Hon. W. D. H. Baillie, M.L.C., Thomas Carter, John Clervaux Chaytor, John Duncan, John Alison Lambert, Charles Houghton Mills, M.H.E., William Benoni Parker, Joseph Henry Bed wood, and Arthur Penrose Seymour. Messrs. Lambert, Carter, and Eedwood retired by rotation at the end of March. Mr. Lambert did not offer himself for re-election. Messrs. Carter and Eedwood were re-elected, and Mr. Thomas Lindsay Buick was elected to fill the seat vacated by Mr. Lambert. At the first meeting of the Board, Mr. A. P. Seymour, who had filled the office of Chairman uninterruptedly since the first constitution of the Board, was again unanimously chosen for the same position. The Board held fourteen meetings during the year. The Hon. Captain Baillie attended 7 meetings ; Mr. Carter, 14 ; Mr. Chaytor, 13 ; Mr. Duncan, 8 ; Mr. Parker, 12 ; Mr. Eedwood, 11; Mr. Mills, 5; Mr. Seymour, 6; Mr. Lambert, 1; and Mr. Buick, 4. The average attendance of members during the year was 578. School Districts.—The number of school districts under the Act at the beginning of the year was twenty-five. In consequence of the purchase of the Hawkesbury Estate by the Government, and of its subdivision for closer settlement, it was found necessary to constitute a new district, which has been named the Omaka School District. Probably the occupation of the Blind Eiver Estate in the same manner will render necessary the formation of another district in the near future. Schools. —Sixty schools have been in operation during the year, three small aided schools having been temporarily closed since the end of 1895. Two of these will probably be re-opened shortly, and several fresh applications for assistance have been granted or are under consideration. The average roll-number for the year was 2,25475, and the (working) average attendance was 1,83175, or 81 per cent., a slight falling-off from last year's average. Buildings.—The balance in hand on the Building Account at the beginning of the year was £76 9s. 6d., which, with the proceeds of the sale of the old school building at Onamalutu, £13 10s., was all the Board had to work on during the year, as the amount allotted to this district out of the building vote was not received until after the end of the year. The following are the most important works undertaken during the year: The new school at Canvastown was finished, and a teacher's residence erected. The Board supplied all the timber and other materials for two schools in the Pelorus Sound—namely, at Tira Bay and Waitaria Bay, the inhabitants undertaking to erect them at their own cost. These buildings are both larger than actually necessary for the requirements of their respective neighbourhoods, as they are intended to be used as centres for holding the annual examinations of sundry small household-schools in the vicinity. Plans and specifications for these buildings were supplied by the Board's architect, and the inhabitants deserve great credit for their share of the work. The school at Tira Bay has been completed and in use since the beginning of 1897. That at Waitaria Bay is not yet finished. Extensive repairs or additions have been executed at Blenheim, Picton, Grovetown, Spring Creek, Waitohi, Eairhall, and other schools. The new school sites at Canvastown and Blind Eiver have been substantially fenced, and at Havelock and Havelock Suburban old and decayed fences have been removed and new ones erected. The purchase of the Canvastown site has been completed; and, taking advantage of a favourable opportunity, the Board has purchased two allotments of land adjoining the Blenheim School grounds, on one of which stands a cottage, the close proximity of which to the infant school and the teacher's residence might have caused serious annoyance and some little risk (in the event of fire) to those buildings. These operations left the Building Account £1,233 in debt to the General Account, but the debt has since been reduced (by the receipt of last year's building grant) to £303. Since the end of the year the Board has accepted tenders for building new schools

72

at Eenwick, Omaka, and Blind Eiver, which will together require about £1,000, so that the Board may be considered to have commenced the year with a debit balance of £1,300 on the Building Account. Scholarships.—The Board's scholarships, of which there are always three current, absorb £120 per annum, the holders receiving their tuition at Nelson College without fees. This concession on the part of the Governors of that institution (which costs them nothing) is the only benefit derived by the people of Marlborough from the liberal provision made originally for the inhabitants of both parts of the original Province of Nelson. As regards secondary and higher education, it is the opinion of this Board that full justice can never be granted to the smaller education districts until the whole of the land endowments for secondary education are nationalised, as those for primary education were twenty years ago, and the proceeds thereof distributed amongst the several districts on a population basis. During the last session of Parliament a petition was presented to both Chambers from the smaller education districts asking for more liberal treatment on account of the disadvantages under which they are working, and which were fully set forth in the said petition. The Board is greatly surprised and disappointed that (notwithstanding that the petitions were recommended by the Parliamentary Committees to the favourable consideration of the Government) no notice whatever appears to have been taken of the said recommendation. Blenheim Committee. —A dispute about the appointment of some pupil - teachers at the Blenheim School occurred during the year, and upon the Board declining to give way in the matter the Committee closed the Blenheim Girls' School, having about two hundred children on the roll. Although fully convinced that this act of the Committee was both unjustifiable and illegal, the Board, with the view of putting an end to such an undesirable state of things as speedily as possible, agreed with the Committee, on a condition of their at once reopening the school, that a friendly action should be brought in the Supreme Court to test the case, the Board undertaking to pay the costs on both sides. This was accordingly done, and some months afterwards the case came before Judge Edwards, and was argued at length by the counsel on either side. The decision of the Court was in favour of the Board on all the points submitted. Perhaps the most important part of Judge Edwards's decision, as far as the interests of education throughout the colony are concerned, is that where he says, " The 74th section (of the Act) which defines the powers of School Committees, so far as they are defined, provides that subject to the general supervision and control of the Board, and to inspection by an Inspector, as in the Act provided, the Committee shall have the management of educational matters within the school district. The defendants have interpreted this provision as giving them power, in the event of a dispute with the Education Board, to close the school, and to keep it closed until they have forced the Board to accept their interpretation of their own powers. Such a pretension is, in my opinion, clearly unjustifiable, and if it were allowed would enable School Committees upon every trivial dispute with the Education Board to bring education to a standstill within the district. The answer to the first question submitted in the special case is therefore that, whether the defendants were right or wrong in the view they took of the invalidity of the appointments in dispute, they were not justified in closing the school." Prom the foregoing judgment it is evident that no Committee can legally close a school in consequence of a disagreement with the Board upon any subject whatever ; and it seems a pity that such a common-sense view of the matter should have to be fortified by an appeal to law at a cost of £70. Though expensive to a Board not over-burdened with funds, this authoritative interpretation of the law is well worth its cost to the colony as a whole if it only has the effect of causing dissatisfied Committees to adopt some means of influencing the decisions of their Boards less disastrous to the cause of education than that resorted to by the Blenheim Committee in the case referred to. The Inspector's report for the past year, which I enclose with this, will supply all the information required respecting the condition of primary education in the Marlborough District. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. A. P. Seymour, Chairman.

NELSON. Sir,— Education Office, Nelson, 13th March, 1897. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of Nelson for the year 1896. Membees op the Boaed. —At the election of three members of the Board in March last, the retiring members, Messrs. William Norris Franklyn, Andrew Thomas Maginnity, and George Bell Sinclair were re-elected, the Board, therefore, has consisted of the same persons as before—viz., the gentlemen above named, and Messrs. George Talbot, Bichmond Hursthonse, James Colvin, Philip Best, William Henry Phillips, jun., and William Lock. At the meeting in April Mr. Talbot was again unanimously elected Chairman of the Board. During the year the Board has held twelve monthly, nine adjourned, and two special meetings, the average attendance of members at each meeting being 6-8. Schools.—At the end of the year 112 schools were at work, seventy-nine being within school districts, and thirty-three aided schools outside school districts. New schools have been opened at Central Takaka, Bedstead, and Gledhill's, in the County of Collingwood, and at Progress, in the Inangahua County. The Hardy and Tasman Street Schools, in the City of Nelson, have been amalgamated, .so that the net increase in the number of schools is three. School Disteicts.—ln accordance with the by-law of the Board which sanctions the setting up of a school district so soon as an aided school has a full committee of five parents or guardians of children attending the school, and has returned an average attendance of not less than twenty for two successive quarters, two new school districts have been constituted during the year —viz., Upper Motupiko and Kaituna. There are now no less than fifty-nine school districts within the Education District of Nelson. Attendance op Scholaes.—The number of children on the roll of the schools under the jurisdiction of the Board was at the end of last year 6,004, the strict average attendance being 4,873, and the working average attendance 4,969. The corresponding numbers for the previous year were : on roll 5,995, strict average 4,854, and working average 4,958. Teaching Staff. —When the year closed there were 61 male and 127 female teachers on the staff, making a total of 188 teachers of all grades, being an increase of 6 (2 male and 4 female teachers) over the previous year. The above comprise 29 male and 11 female " heads of schools"— teachers having assistants or pupil-teachers under them ; 18 male and 56 female " sole teachers," 8 male and 27 female " assistant teachers," and 6 male and 33 female probationers, these latter being equivalent to pupil-teachers. Buildings.—The more important works carried out during the year were the new school at Central Takaka, the Denniston Junior School, and Griffiths' Mill School, additions to Tasman Street and Happy Valley schools, and a teacher's cottage at Upper Motupiko. Centkal School Site.—lt is matter for regret that the large sum—£l,3oo —owing on this account is still unpaid, and it is strongly urged upon the department that a Government grant should be made specially to enable the Board to clear off this liability. Capleston School Buildings.—During the year this property has been so seriously damaged by floods in Boatman's Creek—which have brought down debris from the gold-mines to such an extent as to make the school ground practically a river-bed—that it has been deemed absolutely necessary, for the safety of both teachers and scholars, to remove the buildings to a more secure position. A new site has been purchased : and it is quite clear that an unforeseen occurrence, for which the Board is in no way responsible, will entail upon it an expenditure of at least £500. The Board considers that it has an equitable claim on the Government in this matter. Boaed's Funds.—The amount to credit of the Board's General Account at the beginning of the year was £737 3s. lid., and at its close £965 3s. 7d. At the beginning of the year the balance to credit of Building Account stood at £2,332 12s. 6d., with liabilities of £831. At the end of the year the credit balance was £299 12s. 7d., while the liabilities were £368 18s. 6d. No building grant was received from Government during the year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Geokge Talbot, Chairman.

GEEY. Sir, — Education Office, Greymouth, 4th March, 1897. 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, 1896. The Board consists of the following members—viz., Messrs. Eichard Nanearrow, Hon. James Kerr, William Eobert Kettle, Joseph Petrie, Bernard McGuire, John Byrne, Frank White, S. K. Harris, and James Marshall. The members who retired in March were Messrs. Petrie, McGuire, and Byrne; these gentlemen were re-elected. At the ordinary meeting held in April Mr. Eichard Nancarrow was unanimously elected Chairman of the Board for the current year. During the year the Board held eleven ordinary meetings and one special meeting. The following figures represent the attendance made by each member: Mr. Petrie, 12 ; Mr. McGuire, 12 ; Mr. Harris, 12; Mr. Kettle, 11 ; Mr. 11 ; Mr. White, 11 ; Mr. Nancarrow, 10 ; Mr. Marshall, 9 ; Mr. Kerr, 7. Mr. Kerr was granted three months' leave of absence to enable him to attend to his parliamentary duties. Schools and Attendance.—There were twenty-eight schools in operation at the close of the year, being an increase of three on the previous year. The teachers in the employ of the Board comprise 18 males and 42 females, or a total of 60. These were classified as follows: Principal teacher, 1; head of department, 1 ; head of school, 8 males and 3 females ; sole teacher, 3 males and 13 females; assistant-teachers, 3 males and 13 females; pupil-teachers, 3 males and 12 females. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December. Five pupil-teachers were examined, of whom four qualified for a higher grade. The total number of scholars at the end of the year, including twenty-one attending the Greymouth High School, was 1,671. The classification of the twenty-eight schools is as follows : Under 25 pupils, thirteen ; between 25 and 50 pupils, seven ; between 50 and 100 pupils, six ; between 100 and 300 pupils, one ; between 300 and 500 pupils, one. Scholarships.—The annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held in December. For the four scholarships (two town and two country) there were eighteen competitors—four from the Greymouth School, and fourteen from the country. Albert West and Philip Anderson, of the Greymouth School, won the first and second term scholarships, and Daniel Byrne and Arthur Coumbe, of the Paroa School, secured the first and second country scholarships respectively. Eegulations.—The Board, after long and careful consideration, adopted, early in the year, a set of new regulations to better regulate the salaries and allowances paid to teachers ; these regulations came into force on the Ist July. Building Operations.—The Board received during the year £885 9s. 10d., including a credit balance of £835 9s. 10d., and expended during the same period £1,394 4s. Id., leaving a debit balance of £508 14s. 3d. The principal items of expenditure were as follows : Greymouth School, repairs and inside painting, Ac., £500; Ahaura, addition to school building, £168; Blackball, addition to building, £208 ; Taylorville School, repairs, £105 ; erection of new school at Twelve-mile, £71 9s. 6d. The large outlay on the Greymouth School was rendered necessary owing to the bad state of the building, while the additions to the Ahaura and Blackball Schools had to be made in consequence of the increased attendance. It will thus be seen that the funds at the disposal of the Board were soon exhausted, and, as urgent repairs to several of the country schools demand immediate attention, it is obvious that the grant of £870 allocated to this district for the ensuing year will be wholly inadequate to meet even the most pressing requirements. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eich. Nancarrow, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sik, — Education Office, Hokitika, 11th February, 1897. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1896. The Board. —The membership of the Board has suffered no change during the year, as the retiring members, Messrs. McWhirter, Michel, and Stennard, were re-elected in March. In April the following reappointments were made : Mr. McWhirter, Chairman ; Mr. Chesney, Treasurer; Mr. Grimmond, School Commissioner; Mr. Michel, representative on the High School Board. During the year the Board has held twelve meetings, and the attendance of members was as follows : Mr. McWhirter, 12 ; Mr. Stennard, 12 ; Mr. Chesney, 11; Mr. Gumming, 11 ; Mr. Smith, 11; Mr. Staines, 10; Mr. Grimmond, 8 ; Mr. Hudson, 8; and Mr. Michel, 8. Schools.—During the year thirty-four schools have been open. Of the twenty aided schools (having an average attendance below twenty) four are half time, and eight household schools. A satisfactory increase in the demand for secondary education has been experienced during the year. The extra class at the Hokitika District High School reached a roll number of twenty-five, and a similar class has been established in connection with the Kumara School, opening with ten pupils. In both a further increase is expected during the year 1897. Attendance. —The total roll number for the district on the 31st December was 1,541, a slight decrease on that of the previous year. The average attendance for the year was 865 of the average roll number. In one or two districts considerable benefit has accrued from the enforcement of the School Attendance Act, but in others, including some of our largest schools, the neglect of parents has been allowed to seriously affect the efficiency of the schools. Teachers. —The teachers under the Board number sixty-two. They include eleven head-teachers, twenty-one sole teachers, fourteen assistants, fourteen pupil-teachers, and two monitors. The certificated teachers include all the head-teachers, eleven assistants, and ten sole teachers ; and the uncertificated teachers are, almost without exception, confined to schools with an average attendance below fifteen. Scholarships.—As the result of the examination held in December, four scholarships were awarded, ranging in value from £23 to £8, tenable for two years. During 1896 seven scholarships were in force. This number will be increased to eight in 1897. Finance.—At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a debit balance of £100 lls. 9d., and £820 18s. Id. had been expended. Allowing for the grant received in January, 1897, there remains £649 Bs. 3d. for the expenditure of the current year. For the first time since the year 1890 the Board's General Account shows a credit balance (£l4 10s. lid.) In the year 1893 the debit balance had reached £287. Various economies, and also, unfortunately, reduction of teachers' salaries, have removed the debt, but the decrease in the number of pupils in some of the larger schools has discounted the result of the Board's efforts. It is hoped, however, that the expected improvements in the general prospects of the district will assist in making possible the provision of a more liberal scale of salaries. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. John McWhirter, Chairman.

REPORTS ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. HOKITIKA. Of the twenty-one pupils in the class, fourteen are in the first year, four in the second, and three in the third. Excepting one of the latter, who was in attendance at the matriculation examination, all were present. Seven pupils are holders of scholarships under the Board, and three attend at a reduced fee in recognition of the attainment of a good position in a scholarship examination. Four pupils of the first year, under a special arrangement made on entering, received instruction in a limited course. The remaining sixteen were examined in the full curriculum, including Euclid, Latin, English, algebra, arithmetic, and geography, besides chemistry, an optional subject.

E.—l

With very few exceptions the pupils have been very successful in mastering the extensive course prescribed. Of the total marks in the six compulsory subjects the percentages obtained by the pupils of the third year were :E. Fitzgibbon, 97 ;W. Mclntosh, 85. In the second year the four pupils, H. Linklater, T. Learmont, E. Clarke, and T. V. MacKay, produced very uniform and satisfactory results, the highest percentage being 82 and the lowest 79. Three pupils in the junior division secured more than 75 per cent, of the total marks —viz., M. Houston, 83; G. Shaw, 83; and E. Renton, 80. Of the remaining pupils, eight obtained over 50 per cent., and three failed to reach that amount. In view of the increase in the number of pupils, the amount and character of the year's work are satisfactory, and the marks obtained by the pupils mentioned, especially E. Fitzgibbon,.are highly creditable. A. J. Mokton, Inspector. Kumaba. The class was opened on the 17th August, 1896, and, in view of the shortness of the time for preparation, a very satisfactory course of instruction has been attempted. The progress made by the majority of the pupils is commendable, seven of the ten forming the class securing not less than 55 per cent, of the total marks. The highest marks were obtained in Euclid, algebra, Latin, and English. In arithmetic and geography the percentages obtained by the majority are low, but the test in these two subjects was general, and was intended rather to define the requirements for the ensuing year than to serve as a record of work done. One pupil secured high marks in French. A. J. Moeton, Inspector.

NORTH CANTERBURY. Sik,— Christchurch, 17th March, 1897. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of North Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1896. The Boabd. —The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March, 1896, were Mr. T. W. Adams, Mr. H. W. Peryman, and Mr. R. Meredith, all of whom presented themselves for re-election. The School Committees nominated nine candidates for the vacancies ; and the voting resulted hi the re-election of Mr. Adams and Mr. Peryman, and the election of Mr. Thomas Shailer Weston, who for eight years had previously held a seat on the Board. At a meeting held on the Ist April, Mr. Peryman was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. At the same meeting Mr. Saunders, Mr. Munnings, Hon. Mr. Montgomery, and Mr. Westenra were elected members of the Appointments Committee; Mr. Adams, Mr. Rennie, Mr. Sawle, and Mr. Weston members of the Buildings Committee ; and Mr. Adams, Mr. Saunders, Mr, Westrena, and Mr. Weston members of the Normal School Committee ; the Chairman to be ex officio member of each Committee. The Board held twenty-one meetings during the year, three of which were special meetings. The Appointments Committee met thirty-six times, the Buildings Committee twenty-one times, and the Normal Schools Committee six times. Notwithstanding the everincreasing work, caused by the formation of new school districts, erection of additional schools and establishment of aided schools, with the corresponding increase in the teaching staff, the whole of the business of the respective departments has been well considered and minutely reported on, to which the voluminous reports throughout the year bear testimony. The Boaed's Repeesentatives.—On the 19th January, Mr. A. Orr and Mr. D. Williamson were re-elected as members of the Ashburton High School Board. At a meeting held on the Ist April, Mr. G. H. Saxton and Mr. H. Boyd were re-elected as members of the Akaroa and Rangiora High School Boards respectively, and Mr. H. R. Webb as a School Commissioner for the Provincial District of Canterbury. School Distkicts.—Early in the year a new school district was formed at Port Robinson, Cheviot, where a school site had been previously set apart by the Government; and in December the formation of new districts for Overdale and Rabbit Island, by the division of existing districts, was resolved upon, which, however, did not take effect until the Ist January in this year. The number of school districts at the end of the year, exclusive of Overdale and Rabbit Island, was 171, in three of which—viz., Charteris Bay, Gebbie's Valley, and Pendarves, school operations had been suspended. With the exception of a slight alteration in those of Willowby and Winslow, the boundaries of the school districts remained unchanged during the year. Schools and School Buildings.—During the year 1896 new schools were erected at Port Robinson and Rabbit Island ; additions were made to the schools at Bushside and New Brighton, and to the master's house at Papanui; and teachers' houses were built at Riverside, Glenroy, Hornby, and Rolleston. The number of schools in operation in the district at the close of the year was 193, of which thirteen—viz., Bealey, Craigieburn, Mount White, Clarence Bridge, Conway Flat, Culverden, Dalbeg, Gough's Bay, Hanmer Plains, Kaituna, Leamington, Montserrat, and Porter's Pass, were aided schools. Owing to the scattered state of the population in the several localities, the aided schools at Bealey, Cragieburn, and Mount White were placed in charge of an itinerant teacher ; and it is gratifying to note from the remarks of the Inspector who visited the Bealey, " that the results of this experiment in part-time schools are distinctly encouraging." During a part of the year an aided school at Quail Island received the usual grant-in-aid from the Board, but in September, owing to majority of the children leaving the locality, the subsidy was discontinued. In the month of June, after mature consideration on the part of the Board, the unused school-building at Pendarves was removed to Chertsey, where requirements had outgrown the accommodation, the school till then in use at the latter township being shifted to Overdale for the purpose of a side school. Extensive repairs or improvements were carried out to the school-buildings in upwards of fifty districts, in many

76

E.—l

cases the principal outlay being on teachers' houses, a large number of which the Board found it necessary to put in order before requiring the occupants to conform to the new conditions of tenancy; and a further heavy expenditure was authorised in connection with the new sideschools near Ashburton, Hinds, and Springston, the re-roofing, &c, of four large city or suburban schools, additions to the teachers' houses at Hampstead and Spreydon, and in general repairs, many of these works having already been put in hand and completed. The total expenditure on buildings in 1896 was £5,676 13s. 4d. Maintenance.—The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances during the year amounted to £55,411 Bs. Bd., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £7,033 11s.; making a total of £62,444 19s. Bd. The working average for the year was 17,898, but the average for the four quarters beginning with the December quarter of 1895, on which payments were actually made, was 17,906. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore a little over £3 Is. 10d., and the total cost of maintenance, including all incidental expenditure, nearly £3 9s. 9d. per head. Although the all-round economies effected in 1894 and 1895, together with a stricter adherence to its scale of staff and salaries, have so far enabled the Board to keep expenditure within income, yet the outlook with regard to the future is not encouraging, the general average attendance not increasing in proportion to the necessary expenditure on new schools. The total number of children on the rolls at the end of the year was actually less than at the close of 1894, and it has practically remained stationary since 1890. The position can, perhaps, be best illustrated by taking the case of Cheviot. At the present time the cost of maintaining the four schools there amounts to about £750 per annum. But the children attending the Cheviot schools do not represent an increase in the general attendance, as for the most part they have been withdrawn from other schools in this district; consequently the greater portion of this annual expenditure is in addition to that which the Board was called upon to incur previous to the formation of the Cheviot settlement. As there seems every indication of other settlements being formed, it is safe to assume that the Board's difficulties in this direction will increase rather than diminish. The following table shows the expenditure in salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878, inclusive [not all reprinted] : — Year. Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. £ s. a. £ s. a. £ s. a. 1878 ... ... ... 31,919 0 0 6,276 6 9 38,195 6 9 1888 ... ... ... 50,749 14 6 6,400 7 5 57,150 6 3 1893 ... 56,291 15 9 6,871 14 10 63,164 10 7 1895 55,109 0 0 7,039 14 7 62,148 14 7 1896 ... ... ... 55,411 8 8 7,033 11 0 62,444 19 8 The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year (exclusive of thirtysix sewing mistresses) was 537 —viz., heads of schools or departments or in sole charge, 148 males, 76 females; assistants, 35 males, 133 females. There were 145 pupil-teachers, 42 males and 103 females. As compared with the numbers in 1895, there were nine more certificated teachers, and twelve fewer pupil-teachers. Where variation of the Board's scale of staff and salaries was found practicable, with the double object of reducing the number of pupil-teachers and finding positions for some of the many certificated teachers out of employment, the Board, in several instances, appointed an assistant mistress in place of two pupil-teachers. Attendance. —The following table shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance : Under 15 pupils, twenty-one ; 15 and under 20 pupils, thirteen ; 20 and under 25 pupils, nineteen ; 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty-one ; 50 and under 75 pupils, twenty-seven ; 75 and under 100 pupils, fifteen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, twelve ; 150 and under 300 pupils, thirteen; 300 and under 500 pupils, nine; 500 and upwards, five. As compared with the number in 1895, there were ten more schools with an attendance of less than fifteen. This was mainly the result of the increase in the number of aided schools, which stood at thirteen at the end of the year, as against seven in the previous year. 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 Act of 1877 came into operation [not all reprinted] : — Quarter ending District Aiaea Total n m Average p . December 31. Schools. Schools, of Schools. Un uon ' Attendance. percentage. 1878 ... 106 4 110 13,647 10,076 73-83 1888 ... 155 1 156 20,388 16,395 80-42 1895 ... 180 7 187 21,368 17,969 84-09 1896 ... 182 13 195 21,300 17,938 84-21 Regulations.—At the commencement of the year the Board altered its regulations with regard to school holidays, increasing the maximum length to ten weeks and the minimum to eight weeks. Towards the middle of the year, by amending the regulations respecting incidental expenditure, the purposes for which allowances are granted to School Committees were more exactly defined; and at the same time the duties which the Board had decided should attach to the occupation of schoolhouses were drawn up in schedule form and issued to all the Board's tenants, three months' notice of its intention to amend the conditions of tenancy being given to all teachers occupying schoolhouses. Inspection.—The Inspectors' annual report, giving full statistical information, is appended, The number of children presented was 21,318, being ninety-one more than in the previous year, and the highest total yet reached ; but with regard to attendance on examination day, the number, 19,957, was seventy-one less than in 1895, when 20,028 were present. Of those presented in the standard classes, I. to VI., 2,390 did not pass, but of this number 384 had made less than half the

11— E. 1.

77

B.—l

attendances during the three quarters immediately preceding, and under the former regulations would therefore have been excepted. Tbuancy.—On several occasions during the year the question of irregular and non-attendance was under the Board's consideration. In April, when it was found that the assistance of the police could be secured to such an extent as to greatly lessen the labour till then inseparable from the serving of notices and summonses, the Board urged upon all Committees the necessity of enforcing " The School Attendance Act, 1894," in their respective districts. Seeing that the Act so completely enables Committees to take all the necessary steps to compel children to attend school, thereby showing very clearly what the intention of the Legislature was, it is a matter for regret that advantage of its provisions has not been more generally taken. But having regard to the extent to which in some districts the law is being contravened, as well as to the repeated applications of those Committees whose schools serve very thickly-populated localities, the Board has recently appointed a truant officer for six months. His duties, which will require to be carried out with great tact and care, as well as with the strictest impartiality, will at first be confined to the Christchurch city and suburban schools, the extension of operations depending upon the success or failure of the experiment. Noemal School.—The arrangements made in 1895 for the working and supervision of the training and practising departments at the Normal School have continued to prove satisfactory. The number of students admitted in January, 1896, including six of the second year, was 42— viz., 10 males and 32 females. With the view of effecting the utmost econony, the number of students admitted to the Normal School this year has been reduced to the lowest minimum consistent with the efficient working of the several departments. In December, Mr. W. A. Robinson, 8.A., whose year's engagement as part-time lecturer was about to terminate by effluxion of time, was reappointed to the same position till the end of August, 1897. The Principal's report, which is appended, gives information with regard to the results of the teachers' certificate examination. Scholaeships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held on the 15th December and following days. The number of competitors for the junior scholarships was 176 (106 boys and 70 girls), being an increase of 17 as compared with the number in 1895; and for the senior scholarships the number was 19 (13 boys and 6 girls), eight more than in the previous year. The effect of an alteration made in the regulations during 1896, whereby, under certain conditions, the privileges till then practically attached to junior scholarship holders only were extended to other children entering the secondary schools, is seen in the large proportionate increase in the number of those who competed in the senior division. In connection with the increased number of entries in the junior class, the Board has decided to draw the attention of Committees and head teachers to the following remarks made by the Inspectors in their Scholarship Eeport : " Whilst in one view the fullest candidature is desired, we have reason to wish that more discretion were observed in sending only those who might be deemed fairly prepared in the several subjects. In many cases not even the most favourable judgments of the abilities and attainments of the children could anticipate the slightest chance of success in the competition, or even of securing the qualification mark of 25 per cent, in each subject. To send up for examination children so qualified is only a source of expense to the Board and of useless trouble to the examiners." In June, 1896, the Board received notice that the residuary estate of the late Mr. James Gammack, of Springston, had been vested in his trustees upon trust thereout "to pay to the Board of Education of North Canterbury the sum of £200 per annum for the purposes of establishing four scholarships in connection with the Canterbury College, to be called the ' Gammack Scholarships,' of such amounts, in such subjects, at such times, and generally in such manner as the said Board shall think fit." The Board caused a letter expressing its thanks for the bequest to be sent to the trustees, Mrs. Annie Gammack and Messrs. John and George Eennie, and, with the view of considering how effect could best be given to the testator's wishes, referred the matter to the Appointments Committee, who subsequently consulted the Board's solicitors as to the correct interpretation of the wording in the bequest. The legal opinion obtained, whilst admitting that the question was not free from doubt, was to the effect that the trust was for the purpose of establishing four scholarships in connection with the educational institution affiliated to the New Zealand University and known as Canterbury College, and that the Board would not be keeping within the terms of the bequest if the money, or any part of it, should be devoted to establishing scholarships to be held at the High Schools controlled by Canterbury College. The Board accepted this view, and adopted regulations, under which, when the scheme is in full operation, four scholarships, awarded on the result of .the University Junior Scholarship Examination, and each tenable for three years, will be annually current. As the funds supplied by the Department for the purpose of establishing scholarships are not available for giving a helping hand to those who, having successfully passed through the several stages at the primary and secondary schools, must find an otherwise promising career brought to an abrupt close, it is a matter for special congratulation that the Board should now be in a position to award to the pick of its old scholars so valuable a prize as a three years' course at Canterbury College. Such a privilege would not now be vested in the Board but for the valuable bequest of the late Mr. James Gammack, of whose generosity the Board, through the medium of this report, desires to place on record its high appreciation. Manual and Technical Instruction. —In May, 1896, the Board held a conference with head-masters and delegates from School Committees, representing large and small schools alike, to consider the question of introducing manual instruction into the schools of this district, and of establishing classes for technical instruction. The evidence then taken, with that given by the Board's Inspectors at a special meeting held shortly afterwards, conclusively proved : (1.) That in connection with the lower standards and preparatory classes only, and that but in a modified degree, could manual instruction be introduced into the Board's schools during the ordinary school-

78

E.—l

hours without interfering with the present standard syllabus—a syllabus already sufficiently heavy to severely tax the powers of the teachers. (2.) That only in the larger centres would the Board be justified in establishing classes in manual instruction out of the ordinary school-hours. (3.) That, with but few exceptions, the teachers in the Board's service were not qualified to impart manual instruction. After further consideration, with the view of inaugurating the only scheme which appeared practicable, as well as ascertaining to what extent advantage of classes at hours not included in the ordinary school-time would be taken, the Board decided to apply to the Government for a'grant of £200 for fitting up a work-room at the Normal School, and providing the tools and apparatus required for giving manual instruction. A favourable reply has been received from the Department, and operations will be commenced so soon as a qualified instructor has been secured and all other necessary arrangements completed. Provided the experiment prove a success, and the Government be willing to supply the funds, without which any extension of the scheme will be impossible, the Board will arrange for similar classes in other centres. So far the Board has not been able to establish any classes in connection with technical instruction. Seeing that hitherto the functions of Education Boards in this colony have concerned primary education only, and that technical instruction, as defined by the Act of 1895, cannot be regarded as a substitute for any part of such education, it is open to very serious doubt whether the Board should undertake any responsibility in this direction. However, with every prospect of increasing difficulty in the matter of maintaining the efficiency of its schools, the Board is not in a position to try any hazardous experiments. The question may therefore well be deferred till the Government has seen its way to making ample provision for the expenditure that will necessarily be entailed in establishing classes for technical instruction. In the meantime attention may be drawn to the fact that, at a moderate charge, lectures on the principles applicable to many of our local industries are given at the School of Engineering and Technical Science, and that instruction in drawing and geometry, both elementary and advanced, is provided for at the School of Art. In their report, the Inspectors make interesting reference to the provisions of the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, which from their practical knowledge of the instruction most suitable for primary school children, as well as of the methods best adapted for carrying such instruction to a successful issue, should form a valuable addition to the information already available on these subjects. . I have, &c, H. W. Peeyman, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education.

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. Sib,— Normal School, Christchurch, 23rd February, 1897. I have the honour to report that thirty-six new students were admitted at the beginning of 1896, of whom eight were males and the rest females. Six second-year students were retained, and one other student was allowed to enter later on to complete a previous year's training, giving a total of forty-three students.

79

E.-l

80

Owing to the small number of male students admitted, we were obliged to place the Second Standard boys under female students. The satisfactory results obtained in that standard show that, under careful supervision, healthy, energetic female teachers may well be intrusted with the care of the lower classes of boys. In October three students (whose studies had been carried on mainly at Canterbury College) sat for the Canterbury College first year examination and passed ; and in January thirty-six were sent up for the D and E examinations, of whom thirty-five have passed wholly or partially, one of them taking second prize in science. One gratifying feature of the year's work is to be found in the freedom from the additional expense often incurred through long absences on sick-leave on the part of students. This may have been a mere chance, but, in view of the large bill annually paid by the New Zealand Boards to substitutes for teachers on sick-leave, it may be worth noting. Probably, however, even if there should be a real improvement in this respect in the case of students whose homes are in Christchurch—so as to place them more on a level as regards health with teachers in other countries — we must expect some ill-health in the case of those who have to come away from home and meet the year's expenses out of £30. Mr. W. A. Eobinson, 8.A., the part-time lecturer, entered upon his duties at the beginning of February, and at the end of the year it was a source of gratification to me that the Board was able to engage him for a further term of service. In pursuance of the scheme by which students now depend solely on the Normal School course for preparation in all the subjects (except drawing) for the D certificate, we have this past year undertaken the teaching of the D science. In previous years, students have not had an opportunity of doing practical work in this subject; but this year an endeavour has been made to give the male students some small amount of practical work as well as tuition. Our limitations of time and expense are such that we cannot claim to have done much in this respect, and this is a circumstance that I regret, for to my mind it seems that if the science course of the standards is to be intelligently taught—if it is to be something more than mere book-work, and to be made one of the means of preparation for technical training—it is advisable that those who are to be masters in our schools should pass through a course of practical work in this subject. In the Practising School and the Model School the work has gone steadily along, and the Boys' School has again been very successful in the scholarship examination. I have, &c, Edwin Watkins, 8.A., The Chairman of the Normal School Committee. Principal of Normal School.

SOUTH CANTEEBUEY. Sib,— Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1897. I have the honour to submit herewith the report of the Education Board for the District of South Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1896. Boaed. —At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members: Messrs. Melville Gray, J.P., William Barker Howell, J.P., John Talbot, J. P., John Jackson, J.P., Eobert Henry Pearpoint, J. P., T. E. Seddon, George Henry Graham, J. P., the Eev. Joseph White, and the Eev..George Barclay, J. P. The three members retiring by rotation in March were Messrs. Howell, Graham, and White. Six candidates were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies : Messrs. Howell, Salmond, Keddie, Graham, White, Sinclair. Messrs. Howell, Salmond, and Keddie were elected. In June Mr. E. H. Pearpoint resigned his seat on the Board, and three candidates were nominated to fill this extraordinary vacancy, namely : Messrs. Moore and Graham, and the Eev. Stanley Hinson. The election resulted in the return of Major Walter Montague Moore, J. P. In September the Board was called upon to deplore the untimely death of Mr. T. E. Seddon ; and Messrs. E. H. Ehodes and William Kelland, and the Eev. W. J. Comrie were nominated to fill the vacancy. The election resulted in the return of the Eev. W. J. Comrie. Eighteen meetings of the Board were held during the year, the day of meeting being the second Wednesday in each month at 11.15 a.m., the number present at each meeting being on the average for the year 59. Two members—Mr. John Jackson and the Eev. George Barclay-—went home on leave, each for six months. At the meeting in April Mr. William Barker Howell, J. P., was elected Chairman of the Board. 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 was as follows : Under 25 pupils, twelve schools; under 50 pupils, thirtythree schools; under 75 pupils, eight schools ; under 100 pupils, four schools; under 150 pupils, two schools : under 300 pupils, two schools ; under 500 pupils, three schools; above 500 pupils, one school. Number of aided schools included, twelve. There were Native or half-caste scholars attending at two schools —Waihao and Glenavy. Attendance. —The accompanying table shows the number of scholars attending the Board's schools since the formation of the Board :—

E.—l

The working average for the four quarters gives 4,613 against the strict average of 4,557, whilst the average roll number for the year is 5,366 against 5,280 in 1895. Finance.—The balance-sheet, duly certified by the Auditor-General, is herewith forwarded. The Building Account shows a debit balance of £1,533 os. Id., the building grant allocated to this Board last year not having been received in time to be credited in the accounts for the year ending the 31st December, 1896. The Maintenance Account shows a credit of £2,253 19s. 10d., or a balance credit in the bank of £720 19s. 9d. Business.—The principal works executed by the Board during the year 1896 were the erection of a master's residence at Timaru South; additions to the Waitaki, the Kingsdown, Hazelburn, South Orari, and Waimataitai schools; repairs to the master's residence at Bedcliff, &c.; painting schools and residences at Hunter's, Hilton, Kakahu Bush, and Belfield; whilst the schools at Winchester and Glenavy were also painted. Considerable repairs were executed to the Timaru Main residence, and the drainage; a concrete tank was built at Waimate ; a well was sunk at Glenavy; the Washdyke residence was considerably repaired and improved ; the fencing at Timaru South was repaired, and a large amount of new furniture was supplied to meet the growing requirements of the district, with other materials required by enlargements. In addition to these, grants were made to various School Committees, subsidizing their local efforts to keep things generally in efficiency and repair. The Board has again to thank the School Committees throughout the district for the aid they have granted in the way of subsidies, as well as for the willing and intelligent assistance they have at all times rendered to the Board in all matters relating to the interests and discipline of their several schools, and for the general good feeling with which the administration of the Board has been received. During the past year the Board, at the request of a large number of householders, raised the status of the Timaru Side School to an independent position under the name of the Timaru South School, appointing a headmaster and increasing the staff, to meet the requirements of the new and growing district. Pupil-Teachees.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in the last week in June, when forty pupil-teachers, together with sixteen candidates for employment, presented themselves for examination. Thirty-two pupil-teachers passed, and eight failed. Of the candidates for employment, twelve passed and four failed. Eleven pupil-teachers ot the fourth year sat for certificates at the Education Department's examination ; one passed the D, two obtained a " partial " D, one passed the E, and seven obtained a "partial "E. The first prize for drawing was won by James Bitchie, a second-year pupil-teacher. Distbict High Schools. —A special report of the secondary work of the District High Schools was submitted to the Board by the Inspector. From this report it appears that thirty-three scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and fourteen at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, French, Latin, Euclid, algebra, and trigonometry. The Waimate High School Board has continued its grant of £100 per annum towards the teaching of the higher subjects in the Waimate District High School; and, with their new scheme of scholarships and exhibitions, the Governors are bringing the advantages of a high-school education within reach of scholars from the surrounding country schools, and are encouraging their own town scholars to remain at school a longer time than they would otherwise be likely to do. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. W. B. Howell, Chairman.

In the next class one paper was very good, two were good, and one was moderate. In the two lowest classes most of the papers were very good, and only one was poor. Euclid and Algebra. —ln both subjects a high standard of proficiency was reached in every class, a great many papers being faultless, and not one paper showing serious weakness. Temuka. English. —ln the advanced class one paper was excellent, and the other very good. In the junior class three papers were very good, two were good, and three were poor. In oral work the members of this class made a creditable appearance. French. —The papers of both pupils were very good. Latin. —The papers of the advanced class were exceptionally good; the translations from Cicero and Virgil were accurate and done into good English; and the translation of English sentences into Latin was almost correct, and quite free from serious blunders. In the junior class six papers were very good, one was good, and two were moderate. Euclid. —In Euclid six papers were excellent, two were very good, three were fair, and one was poor. Trigonometry. —The papers of both pupils were very good. Algebra. —ln Algebra six papers were excellent, four were very good, one was good, and two were poor.

Johnston Eamsay. In November Mr. Mackenzie, owing to his removal from the colony, resigned his position as a member. Four candidates were nominated for the vacancy, and the voting resulted in the return of the Eev. Philadelphus Bain Fraser. At the first meeting of the Board in April Mr. Mark Cohen was appointed Chairman. The Board held twenty-six meetings during the year. Mr. James Green was re-elected to represent the Board as Education Eeserves Commissioner, Mr. J. F. M. Fraser and Dr. Stenhouse were appointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Donald Borrie was appointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Numbee op Schools. —At the close of 1895 there were 214 schools in operation in the district. In the course of the year schools were opened at Earnscleugh, Kokoamu, Kuriwao, and St. Clair. In addition to the schools opened during the year, the Board has sanctioned the establishment of schools at Tahakopa, Kahuika, Waiheke, Eomareka (all in the Catlin's Bush district), and Kokonga. Buildings were in course of erection in each of these districts at the end of the year. Eleven memorials for the establishment of schools were received during the year. Six of these were granted, three were declined, and the remaining two are still under consideration. The following shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance : Under 15 pupils, twenty-four ; 15 and under 20 pupils, twenty-four; 20 and under 25 pupils, nineteen ; 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty-four ; 50 and under 75 pupils, thirty-one ; 75 and under 100 pupils, fifteen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, twelve; 150 and under 300 pupils, ten ; 300 and under 500 pupils, ten ; 500 and upwards, nine : total, 218. Tbachees. —There were in the Board's service on the 31st December 554 teachers, classed as under : Male head teachers, 90; male teachers in sole charge, 49; male assistant teachers, 54; male pupil-teachers, 24 : total male teachers, 217. Female teachers in sole charge, 78 ; mistresses, 90; female assistants, 62 ; female pupil-teachers, 75; sewing-teachers, 32 : total female teachers, 337. The supply of both male and female teachers has been more than adequate for all requirements.

The following table shows the classification of the teachers: —

A comparison of the above table with a similar one published some years ago shows that a marked improvement has taken place in the literary qualifications of a large number of the teachers in the Board's service. The scheme for the classification of teachers and positions has been in operation exactly fifteen months, having gone into effect on the Ist January, 1896, and this is a fitting opportunity for showing what the effects of its working have been up to date. During the period named sixtyseven appointments have been made. Of these, seven were to positions on the staffs of the district high schools, the remaining sixty having been to the staffs of primary schools. It should be borne in mind that the scheme had a twofold object—(l) To secure the promotion of deserving teachers under this Board, and in so promoting (2) to give due weight to the claims of those teachers who have faithfully and successfully served this Board in remote or out-of-the-way places. The subjoined table shows the nature of the appointments that have been made from the Ist January, 1896, to the end of March, 1897 [not reprinted]. PuPiL-TEACHBBs.—There were ninety-nine pupil-teachers—twenty-four male and seventy-five female—in the Board's service at the end of the year. The annual examination was held in December. The following table shows the number of pupil-teachers who went up for examination, the number that passed, and the number that failed : — Presented. Passed. Failed. Exempted. Absent.

sent time. At the beginning of 1878 the new education district of Southland was created, and thirty-seven schools were handed over to the newly-formed Board: —

The above table shows that there was a decrease for the year of 105 pupils on the average attendance of the previous year, that twenty-seven fewer pupils attended at all during the year, and that there were 638 fewer in attendance at the close of the year. Inspection.—At the end of 1895 there remained unexamined forty schools. These were examined early in 1896, and again at the end of the same year. The second examination was held to bring the schools into their old places in the order of examination. With the addition made to their staff the Inspectors have been able to wipe out most of the arrears of 1895, and to get the work of inspection fairly into line again. 22,380 children were presented for examination—ls,oo3 in the standard classes, 6,792 in the preparatory classes, and 585 in the class above Standard VI. 89 per cent, of those examined in the standard classes gained the standard pass, a very satisfactory result from this point of view of efficiency. In the opinion of the Inspectors, our school work is, on the whole, good. The following table shows the proportions of children presented for examination in the several classes during the last three years. The proportions are expressed in percentages:— 1894. 1895. 1896. Preparatory ... ... ... ... ... 3171 31-10 30-35 Standard I. ... ... ... ... ... 12-30 1167 11-61 Standard 11. ... ... .. ... ... 13-34 12-80 12-37 Standard 111. ... ... ... ... ... 13-59 13-71 13-23 Standardly. ... ... .. ... ... 12-05 12-68 13-16 Standard V. ... ... ... ... ... 9-03 9-33 9-91 Standard VI. ... ... ... ... ... 5-79 6-06 6-75 Above Standard VI. ... ... ... ... 2-18 2-62 2-60 This table shows clearly the point at which the children begin to leave school, and also what proportion of those who pass into Standard I. reach the level of the three senior classes. ScHOLABSHirs. —Twenty-four scholarships (twelve junior and twelve senior) were awarded at the December examination. In all, 143 candidates competed, forty-eight for the senior and ninetyfive for the junior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, seventeen of the junior competitors and eighteen of the senior competitors gained sufficient marks to qualify them for free education at the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools for two years and three years respectively. The amount expended on scholarships for the year was —Paid to scholarship holders, £1,425 10s.; examination expenses, £66 lls.: total, £1,492 Is. There are at present forty-six pupils receiving free education at the high schools in Dunedin in connection with the scholarship scheme. School of Art and Design.—The report of the Principal is given in Appendix I,* The total number of students who attended the school during the past session was 394, an increase of thirty-four compared with the preceding year. This total includes 116 teachers and pupil-teachers, twenty-two training-college students, ninety-six students who attended the day classes, and 160 who attended the evening classes. During the year Signor Nerli, the teacher of painting, severed his connection with the school, and it has been decided to discontinue the teaching of painting. The cost of the school for the year was—Salaries, £845 ; incidental expenses, £115 3s. 4d. : total, £960 3s. 4d, less fees £373—£587 3s. 4d. Training College.—The report of the Principal of the training college is appended. The attendance of students during the year was :— Students in course of 1896 — M. P. Total. I Left during 1896— M.

that in Dunedin and the large towns numbers of children of school age are to be found idling about the streets during school hours, and thus evading the law. That the Legislature declined to place in the hands of the Boards the full responsibility of enforcing the law in this respect was a great mistake. The evil of irregular attendance, which in the large towns and cities is a daily growing one, will never be satisfactorily coped with until the Legislature casts upon the parent or guardian of the irregular attender the onus of proving that the child is unable to attend school, and arms the Board with power—(l) To ascertain conclusively the total number of children of school age within the Education District, and (2) to compel teachers of all private schools to furnish quarterly to the Board accurate returns of enrolment and attendance at such schools. It is only by amending the law in these much-needed respects that there is a reasonable prospect of truancy being checked. From the following statement a rough estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : Cases investigated, 527. Notices served on parents or guardians under section sof "The School Attendance Act, 1894," 218. 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), 96. Under the above ninety-six penalty summonses there were forty-four convictions, forty-six cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendants of exemption certificates, and six cases were dismissed. The total of fines for the year was £4 Bs. In accordance with section 7of the Act, the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. Finance. — A certified statement of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereunto. The sum expended in teachers' salaries (including bonuses on classification and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers) was £63,300 3s. 7d.; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,685 19s. Id.; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £11,795 os. lid. A detailed statement of these payments appears in Appendix A.* The same table also gives the names of the teachers employed, their classification, and the annual salary of each at the rate paid during the last quarter of the year. The same table gives in detail the expenditure on school buildings, &c, and the amount paid to School Committees as incidental expenses. By order of the Board, P. G. Peyde, Secretary.

had just enabled us to work together in a way that seemed likely to prove successful in securing for our students a beneficial course of training, both practical and literary. Thirty-four students were enrolled last year—twelve males and twenty-two females—and the attendance was as follows :— Students attending the course of 1896— Males. Females. Total. Eemaining from 1895 ... ... ... 8 7 15 Admitted during 1896 ... ... ... 4 15 19 Left during the session ... ... ...4 1 5 Eemaining at the close of 1896 ... ... 8 21 29 The health of the students has throughout been most satisfactory, and I am glad to be able to say that during the year they applied themselves earnestly and assiduously to their prescribed courses of study. The following is a synopsis of the practical work overtaken this year:—

The literary course has been on much the same lines as formerly, though I had frequently to curtail it to give time for practical work. The results of the annual examination held by the Education Department, and by the New Zealand University, are as follows : Nine passed the matriculation examination ; two secured a "partial" and three a full E certificate; six obtained a "partial" and eleven a full D teacher's certificate. The first prize for experimental science was awarded to Miss Violet M. Greig, a first year's student, and in the same subject special mention was made of Miss Trainor's and Miss Peter's examination papers. Miss Jessie Campbell received special mention for English. Several students, besides taking all the classes at the Training College, passed the annual examination of the Otago University as under : Miss Greig—Junior Latin second class; junior mathematics, first class. Miss McKellar—Junior Latin, second class; junior mathematics, second class. Mr. J. W. Mellor —Organic chemistry, first class; practical chemistry, first class; junior mathematics, second class. Mr. Abel—Junior mathematics, second class; junior Latin, third class. I regret to say that only one of the pupil-teacher students attended the University this year. As a rule, a student does not care to attend one session only unless he sees the probability of following this up with a second year's attendance, knowing that two years' terms must be kept to enable him to present himself for the first section of the B.A. degree, which secures for him a C teacher's certificate. To induce a larger number of the students to enter on a University course I think a second year's bursary should be given to the most successful first-year students. During the Christmas recess I visited Australia, and made inquiry into the organization and management of the training colleges in Adelaide and Sydney. At the Adelaide College I saw the students under instruction, and also heard them giving their practical lessons in the primary school attached to the Training College. I received copies of the course of instruction, time-tables, and notes of lessons, showing in detail the methods, treatment, and exposition of everyday schoolwork. There are two training colleges in Sydney, one for men and the other for women. I spent the greater part of two days in making myself acquainted with the working of their institutions, and I have now a very fair idea of the system of training pupil-teachers and students carried out in the sister colonies. I have to bring under your notice one or two ways in which I think we might with advantage follow in their footsteps: (1.) We should have in our Training College a supply of exhibits and specimens of all modern school appliances, requisites, and apparatus for illustrative and concrete teaching. (2.) We require a model infant-room, designed and fitted up according to the most recent approved plans and methods. (3.) The Training College should be brought into closer connection with the University. As stated above, only one of your first-year students —bursary-holders—attended the Otago University last year. The Education Department of New South Wales award second-year bursaries to the most successful first-year students to enable them to proceed to the Sydney University. If we wish to make our system of training complete we should do something to lead students from the Training College to the University, and as a first step towards this end I respectfully suggest that the Education Board offer a small bursary—say, the amount of the University class fees for the year —to all pupil-teacher students who in their second year keep terms at the Otago University. I respectfully submit these practical suggestions to the careful consideration of the Board. I have, &c. The Secretary, Otago Education Board. D. E. White, M.A., Principal,

SOUTHLAND. Sib, — Education Office, Invercargill, 27th February, 1897. As required by the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board of the Education District of Southland has the honour to present the following summary of its proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1896 : — The Board.—Since the last report was submitted the constitution of the Board has undergone no change. At the annual election held in March there were four gentlemen nominated to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Messrs. J. Walker Bain, Alfred Baldey, and George McLeod. The voting resulted in the re-election of the three gentlemen named. It is worthy of note that, of the elected members, Mr. Baldey has been honoured by re-election for six consecutive periods of three years each, Mr. McLeod for five, and Mr. Bain for four such periods; their continuous services as members of the Board, computed to the end of the current year, will therefore total nineteen, sixteen, and ten years respectively. At the April meeting of the Board Mr. Thomas Mac Gibbon, of Mataura, was unanimously elected Chairman for the ensuing year. The Venerable Archdeacon Stocker and Mr. F. Woodward were duly elected as the Board's representatives on the Board of Governors of the Southland High Schools, while Mr. James Walker Bain continued to represent the Board's interests on the Trust of the School Commissioners of Otago. The Board continued to hold its meetings during the year on the first Friday of each month ; while a committee consisting of all the members met on an average of about once a fortnight for the transaction of routine business, and for the consideration of such matters of special importance as were referred to it. To avoid unnecessary delay in filling vacancies, and in the carrying-out of works authorised by the Board, this committee is vested with power to make all ordinary appointments to the teaching staff, and also to accept tenders for works. During the course of the year twelve ordinary meetings of the Board and twenty-one meetings of the executive committee were held. The attendance at these meetings was very satisfactory indeed when the absence of two members during the entire parliamentary session is taken into account. The average attendance of members at meetings of the 7 - 7; at those of the executive committee, 75. Public Schools.—The Board has to report an unprecedentedly heavy loss of school buildings by fire. The principal disaster occurred in connection with the Gore school building, which was completely destroyed in July last. This building has been reinstated at an expenditure of over £1,000. A grant of £640 in aid of this work has been promised by the Government. It will thus be seen that, by this unfortunate occurrence, the Board will lose at least £350. Of course, the new building is in every way better fitted than the old structure to meet the requirements, present and prospective, of this important and rising district. The school at Scott's Gap and the teacher's residence at Pyramid Siding were also destroyed by fire, the former in the month of August last and the latter in December. Grants of £153 and £95 respectively in aid of their re-erection have also been promised, and a tender for the reinstatement of each building has been accepted by the Board. The erection of a new school in the Waikiwi (suburban) district, at a cost of £475, is another important work completed during the year. Negotiations for the purchase of a residence and glebe for the use of the teacher are at present pending. These works, in addition to the ordinary current expenditure, have proved a very heavy drain on the Board's resources. At the close of the previous year there were 133 schools in operation, and, as was anticipated in last year's report, the demands for additional school-accommodation have been unusually pressing. During the year the Board sanctioned the establishment of new schools at Waikiwi, Maitland Village, Croydon Siding, Crown Terrace, Waianiwa Township, Papatotara, and Centre Island, the two latter being, in effect, household schools, the one granted in the interests of a settler beyond the Waiau far removed from the advantages of our education system, the other for the sole benefit of the family of the lighthouse-keeper. The Miller's Flat School, previously closed on account of sparseness of population, was reopened during the year; and, as predicted in last year's report, the school at Groper's Bush was, on account of the decreased attendance, permanently closed. There were thus 140 schools in actual operation at the close of the year to which this report has reference. Twenty-eight of this number are classed as aided schools, the average attendance in each case being less than twenty pupils. School Attendance. —The attendance of pupils at the schools in this district still continues to increase. The average weekly number on the rolls of the various schools for the year was 9,728, while the mean average (strict) attendance for the same period was 7,851, an increase over the previous year's record of forty-seven in roll-number and 207 in average attendance. The working average for the year, on which basis payments of grants to Boards by the Government are now made, was 7,964, an increase over the previous year of 165. The percentage proportion of strict average attendance to roll-number also shows a gratifying increase, being 807, as against 79 for last year. Whether this satisfactory feature is attributable to an absence of any serious epidemic of illness during the year, a more intelligent appreciation of the benefits of education by parents throughout the district, the beneficial influence of the efforts of the Board through the medium of its Truant Officer, or all of these factors combined, it would be extremely difficult to say; probably one would not be far wrong in adopting the last-mentioned as the real explanation. In quite a number of our school districts increased interest is being manifested by School Committees in the matter of school attendance. The Committees in the districts referred to have made special requests that the Board's Truant Officer should institute proceedings against parents or guardians who fail to observe the provisions of the School Attendance Act. This power of setting the law in motion rests primarily with the local Committee, and it is satisfactory to note that some of these bodies now face the responsibility, and thus endeavour to remove a real hindrance to the general advancement of education throughout the district. Nothing so much militates against the success of a school as the want of interest displayed by those responsible for an irregular attendance of pupils. It is but the reiteration of a truism to assert that

91

E.—l

regularity in attendance and progress in learning go hand-in-hand, and, even where menta ability may not be of a high order, steady advance may be looked for when the teacher is not burdened by this serious handicap. Four years of regular attendance will do more educationally for the average pupil than six years of the desultory attendance so frequently countenanced by parents in some of our school districts. Teaching Staff.—At the close of the year there were in the service of the Board 241 teachers of all grades. Of these, 124 were males and 117 females. These figures show an increase of nine as compared with those of the previous year. As in past years, the supply of fully-qualified teachers is now quite equal to, if not in excess of, the demand, so that, for even the most unremunerative appointment, there is no lack of suitable applicants. During the year the whole question of the employment of uncertificated teachers has received careful consideration at the hands of the Board, with the result that all uncertificated teachers (of whom, happily, there are now very few) and licensed teachers in the Board's service have been notified that unless they succeed in qualifying themselves by securing at least a full certificate of Class E at the teachers' examination in January, 1898, their engagements under the Board will then be terminated at one month's notice. This resolution has been adopted in fairness to those applicants for employment who have secured, by examination, the necessary literary qualification for their work. In dealing thus with a matter which has been pressing itself on the Board's attention for several years past, the Board cannot be said to have treated the teachers referred to with undue harshness. In the opinion of this Board, the time has now arrived for the discontinuance of the issue of licenses to teach. The time was when the issue of such passports to the profession was a great convenience to teachers and Boards alike; now, when the supply of fully-accredited teachers is adequate to meet all probable demands, the necessity for such interim certificates appears to be no longer existent. It is manifestly unfair that the holder of a license, to gain which it is only necessary to partially pass the prescribed examination for a certificate of the lowest class, and to have the necessary two years' experience, should by its possession be enabled to compete on equal terms (as sometimes happens) with those who, it may be, are the possessors of a high-grade certificate of efficiency. The district licenses to enable pupil-teachers to bridge over the gap between the termination of their apprenticeship and the period when by examination and age qualification they may rise to the rank and status of fully-certificated teachers should be amply sufficient to meet the exigencies of the service. In this case it should not be necessary to provide for an extension or renewal of the period (two years) for which such a permit is issued. The necessity for a renewal certainly indicates either mental ability of a low order, want of application, or a combination of adverse circumstances which in ordinary experience do not usually occur. Board's Scholarships.—Under this heading there is but little to report. The administration of the Board's scholarship scheme has been, on the whole, attended with very satisfactory results. It is but simple truth to say that but for this valuable aid many promising pupils of our public schools would have been unable to avail themselves of the advantages of a secondary education, and that our local High School would have been deprived of many of its brightest and most distinguished students. On the books of the Board at the close of the year there were the names of eighteen scholarship-holders, who during that period received amongst them a sum of £480, in addition to which £20 Is. 6d. was spent in expenses connected with the conduct of the annual examination which was held in the month of December at Invercargill, Gore, and Biverton simultaneously. The principal honours for the year fell to James McMenamin and Fred Ball (South School), to each of whom was awarded a scholarship of the value of £20, tenable for three years; to James Eobertson (Waikaia), Albert J. Acheson and George Walker (Biverton), who each secured non-resident scholarships of the value of £35, also tenable for three years. Five additional scholarships of the value of £20 each, and one of the value of £35, but tenable for one year only, were also awarded. After making provision for scholarships current, this apportionment of the funds available absorbed, as closely as could be, the total sum to which the Board was entitled under the regulations controlling such expenditure. The question of reducing the age at which boys and girls throughout the education district, whether attending public schools or not, shall be entitled to compete has been under the consideration of the Board. Under present regulations the age of candidates must not exceed fifteen years, as on the last day of the month in which the examination shall commence. So far, the Board has not seen its way to make any alteration in the present limit. It is worthy of note that one of the successful candidates for the Board's scholarships in 1892 has this year succeeded in carrying off one of the Junior University Scholarships. The Board congratulates Miss Edith Brown on her success, and wishes her every prosperity in her future career as a student of the University, at which she will now prosecute her studies. School Committees' Accounts.—For many years past it has been the practice of this Board to appoint the teacher of the school district to audit the accounts of his School Committee. This year, however, it was thought desirable to make a change, which was done by the appointment of Mr. F. Stevenson, clerk in the Board's office, to undertake this extra duty. The reasons for this alteration in the method of auditing these accounts are obvious. It was found that some teachers were averse to a too critical examination of the financial transactions of their Committees, and the Board recognised that there was perhaps good and sufficient reasons why teachers should not be placed in this invidious position. For the first time under the new system some little difficulty arose with several of the School Committees, owing to irregularities, which were not very serious in any case, but which were rather of the nature of omission to perform certain duties or produce receipts for items of expenditure shown in the accounts. The following extract from the report on this subject furnished by the treasurer to the Board will indicate the nature of the shortcomings referred to, as well as the advantages to be gained by the

92

93

E.—l

change in procedure it has been thought advisable to adopt: "In my capacity as treasurer I have had, in conjunction with your auditor, an opportunity of examining the books and accounts of the various School Committees throughout the district as submitted to the auditor, in terms of the resolution of the Board, and have to report that in a great majority of cases the accounts have been kept in an entirely methodical and satisfactory manner, and the balance-sheets made up with great care and exactness. As, however, the exceptions only prove the rule, I regret to report that in some instances very considerable trouble has been experienced in obtaining such documentary evidence of the financial transactions of Committees as would warrant the auditor in certifying to the accuracy of the statements of accounts submitted. Absence of proper receipts in many instances caused the trouble, while in a few cases Committees entirely ignored the Order in Council (copy of which was furnished them) regulating the audit of such accounts. In only a few instances did we find it necessary to call in question the legality of any of the items of expenditure, and in only one instance to ask for a refund of money wrongfully received from the Board. In this case the Committee may have misunderstood, to its own advantage, the plain meaning of the Board's regulations controlling the payment of pound-for-pound subsidies ; at all events, the sum overpaid was promptly refunded. Looking at the results of the audit as a whole, lam convinced that, in the main, Committees act with the utmost care, and conscientiously endeavour to carry out their duties. I am also of opinion that sufficient evidence has been obtained to justify the change of method resolved on by the Board in auditing the accounts of School Committees. The advantages gained may be briefly stated as follows : (1.) The permanent officers of the Board have a certain knowledge of sums paid by the Board to Committees either as subsidies on works or as School Fund allowance. This information was not in possession of teachers who previously performed the duty of auditors. (2.) The objects for which moneys may be lawfully expended are probably better known to the Board's officials than to those formerly appointed to this office. (3.) The danger of friction between Committees and teachers (not an unknown quantity in the past) is entirely avoided. With the supply to School Committees of a uniform cash-book, as authorised by the Board, there is very good reason to hope that in future years the audit will become increasingly satisfactory." Some years ago this Board directed attention to a defect in the abstract of account forms supplied to Committees by the omission of a space in which could be set forth in simple form a statement of assets and liabilities. Owing to the absence of information such as would be contained in a statement of this kind, the result has been that in many instances the incoming Committee is grievously disappointed to find that the balance to credit is altogether absorbed in the payment of outstanding liabilities of which they had no previous knowledge. It may thus happen—and frequently does —that the best efforts of a Committee to promote the welfare of the school under its charge are rendered nugatory by the financial shortcomings of its predecessors in office. The Board recognises the great assistance rendered by School Committees in the administration of the educational interests of its extensive district. Pupil-teachebs.—At the close of the year to which this report refers there were sixty-two young people employed by the Board on its pupil-teacher staff. Of these, nine were boys and fifty-three girls. Of this number, thirty-eight candidates presented themselves at the annual examination which was held on the 16th June last and following days, the remainder being exempted from attendance on the grounds of—(1) Having technically completed their apprenticeship, or (2) having succeeded in passing a higher-grade examination. Only three candidates failed fco attain the required standard of proficiency—two in the Third and one in the Fourth Class. The Inspectors report that the average quality of the work is satisfactory, and the same may be said of the style of the papers in respect of neatness and arrangement. While it is pleasing to note the uniform success attending the passing of the annual examinations by our pupil-teachers, it is to be feared that in many instances they do not take full advantage of their opportunities to prepare for the higher tests of scholarship required in passing the teachers' certificate examination. On completion of their pupil-teacher apprenticeship it should not be difficult for each pupil-teacher to secure at least Class E certificate of competency at the next ensuing departmental examination of teachers. This and even a greater measure of success is attained by some, and there appears to be no valid reason why all pupil-teachers should not similarly qualify themselves for the profession they have adopted as their life-work. School sites and glebes.—The Board desires to acknowledge with gratitude the courtesy and promptitude displayed by the local Waste Lands Board and the School Commissioners of Otago in dealing with applications made for the reservation of school sites and glebes wherever such have been required by the Board. In no ease where the necessity to establish a school has been shown have either of these public bodies refused to set apart a suitable area as a school site. This generosity has relieved the Board from what would otherwise have proved a very heavy drain on its Buildings Account, against which the charges incidental to the acquisition of school sites require to be placed. The Board still continues to subsidise the efforts of School Committees and teachers in the matter of the improvements of school glebes and grounds by granting half-cost of fencing, gravelling, draining, and other works of a similar nature. The regulation under which these subsidies are granted is largely taken advantage of throughout the district, and it is safe to say that, but for the existence of some such regulation, many useful and highly desirable improvements could not possibly be undertaken, neither the Board nor Committee directly interested being alone able to contribute the full cost. Inspection of Schools. —The systematic examination and inspection of schools throughout the district has been carried out during the year, the report of the Inspectors being read at each monthly meeting of the Board. An exhaustive report, with full statistical information respecting the condition and progress of education generally throughout the district, has been submitted by the Inspectors, and adopted by the Board, a copy of which will be duly transmitted to your department.

Technical School.—The work successfully inaugurated during the preceding year has been continued with marked success. The Saturday carpentry classes have been attended by fifty-four students, sixteen of that number being teachers employed by the Board, the others being pupils of the public schools of the district. Should this attendance continue or increase, the question of appointing an assistant-instructor will have to be considered, as it is quite impossible for one instructor, even with a suitable subdivison of classes, to efficiently supervise the efforts of such a large number of students meeting on one day. The Instructor reports that, on the whole, he was very well pleased with the work done during the session by the various classes ; in some cases the results obtained were excellent. It is further reported that for the coming year the programme of work sketched out by the Government for manual instruction in technical schools will be taken up, and the Board asked to appoint competent examiners, with the view of granting certificates to successful competitors at the close of the term. Building Opeeations.—During the year the Board has undertaken the erection of new school buildings at Waikiwi, Maitland Village, Croydon Siding, Caroline, and Wallacetown, the lastmentioned work being necessary to replace the old school building which had done duty for a period of thirty years or more. Residences for the teachers were also provided for the districts of Wendonside, Greenvale, Pyramid Siding, and Waituna, while additions to the school at Otautau and to the residences at Drummond and Oreti Plains respectively were carried out, the former work being absolutely necessary in consequence of the increased attendance at the school. Notwithstanding all that the Board can undertake year by year by a judicious expenditure of its surplus funds, many districts yet remain without suitable accommodation for their teachers. It is not possible out of the limited means at its disposal to provide for every want, but the Board endeavours to make the most of the funds at its command. In a district where it is impracticable, by reason of its cost, to erect buildings in brick or stone the annually-recurring expenditure in respect of maintenance is a very serious matter. Many of the school buildings and residences have been erected for considerable periods, and, owing to the process of natural decay, the cost of painting and repairs forms a heavy drain on the Board's annual receipts for building purposes. The Government grant for buildings (though not actually received till after the close of the year, and therefore not shown in the Board's balance-sheet) should be noted in this report of the Board's proceedings. The amount was £3,000, with a supplementary vote of £420 in respect of schools the erection of which had been rendered necessary in consequence of the extension of settlement in new districts. This amount is somewhat in excess of that granted for some years past, and for the increased liberality displayed towards this district the Board desires to express its grateful appreciation. The expenditure on account of new buildings, repairs, furniture, &0., during the year has been £3,776 165., so that the outgoings in this connection exceeds the income by £356. The amount standing to debit of the Building Account in the annual balance-sheet is £1,223 Is. 9d. Had the building grant been paid in December, as has usually been the case, this fund would have shown a credit balance of about £2,197. Obligations have been entered into, however, up to the 31st December, 1896, which will absorb at least three-fourths of this amount, leaving only about £600 available for expenditure on works still to be authorised during the year 1897. Finance: Board's Income and Expenditure.—A statement, certified by the AuditorGeneral, of the income and expenditure of this Board for the year just closed has been already forwarded to your department. The aggregate receipts, inclusive of a credit balance at the commencement of the year of £5,061 os. 10d., were £35,781 10s. 6d. The total expenditure for the year was £33,860 Is. 7d., leaving a credit balance of £1,921 Bs. lid. To institute a fair comparison with the financial statement of previous years the amount due in respect of parliamentary grant for school buildings should be taken into account. Were this done, the financial position of the Board would present a more favourable aspect. Seeing, however, that the annual allocation by Parliament for building purposes is intended to provide for the expenditure of the coming year, it is perhaps just as well that its amount does not appear in the accounts of a year to which it has no special reference. Undoubtedly, the statement of the Board's financial position is more accurately set forth by the omission of this item, and there appears to be no good reason why payment of such a grant should be made at the close instead of the beginning of the financial year, unless it be to represent the accounts of the Board in a more favourable light than is consistent with strict accuracy. The chief items of expenditure (omitting shillings and pence) for the year are as follow : Teachers' salaries and allowances, £25,900 ; Committee's allowances, £1,796 ; new buildings, additions to buildings, repairs, appliances, and sites, £3,776; scholarships, £500. The foregoing, with various other smaller sums, particulars of which are fully set forth in departmental returns, constitute the aggregate disbursements during the year. The statement of the Board's assets and liabilities shows that against a balance of £3,144 10s. Bd. to credit of ordinary account there stand liabilities amounting to £602 12s. Id.; while in the Building Account the assets are set down at £4,246 3s. 6d., and the liabilities show obligations amounting to £3,658 6s. Bd., leaving only an available balance of £587 16s. 10d. to meet frosh demands during the coming year. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. John Neill, Secretary.

A renewal of lease of Section 73, Alfredton (area 50 acres 1 rood), for a period of fourteen years, was granted, and lease of Section 51, Block IV., Mangawhero district, was extended from twenty-one years to thirty years. The surrenders of four leases have been accepted during the year, and arrears of rent amounting to £85 3s. 7d. due thereon have been written off. Two of these sections were thrown up by the lessees in 1894, but, owing to an informality on their part, they were not taken off the books, although the leases were several times offered at auction by the Commissioners. As rents to the amount of £21 11s. 3d. have nominally accrued upon them during that period, it practically reduces the above £85 3s. 7d. to £63 12s. 4d. Eeductions of £6 14s. 10d. and £11 (total, £17 14s. 10d.) in the rentals of two sections have been made, the reasons being loss of area and damage from floods. Under the heading of "Printing, stationery, and office contingencies" is included the cost of printing and circulating posters announcing sales, office rent and furniture, stamps, &c. Postage alone amounted to £13 17s. The Commissioners have much pleasure in reporting that their anticipations expressed in their last annual report, as to the amount of rents in arrears being considerably reduced, have been fully realised, as a comparison of the balance-sheets will show. Efforts are being made to still further reduce this amount, and there is every reason to believe that they will be successful. With the exception of some lands which were given in exchange for Sections 128 and 135, Carterton, under " The Reserves Disposal and Exchange Act, 1895," the Commissioners are not aware of any lands having been set aside during the year. The total area of reserves therefore practically remains unaltered, being approximately a little over 84,000 acres, of which, in round numbers, 46,000 acres is let at a rental of £2,400 per annum. Owing to the growing importance and value of the educational reserves, and the increasing amount of work involved in connection therewith, the Commissioners found it necessary to appoint a permanent secretary, and also to remove to larger and more convenient offices. Their business is now carried on in a room rented from the Government Insurance Department. The rental, £50 per annum, seems a high one, but it is thought that contiguity to the Land and Survey Department and other Government offices will compensate for this. The Commissioners would like to place on record their appreciation of the great services of the late Commissioner of Lands, Mr. John H. Baker, in the conduct of their business, and his efforts to get the proportion of lands set aside for reserves brought up to date. There are still considerable arrears, but owing to his action the property under the control of the Commissioners was during his term of office augmented by over 28,000 acres. Applications are frequently being received for sections gazetted in 1895, but as the titles to a large number of these sections have not yet been issued, and the balance have only lately been received, they have not yet been offered for lease. The Commissioners are still of opinion that some further provision should be made for secondary education, and they would again urge upon you the necessity of something being done if only to place the Wellington Province upon an equal footing with that of other districts. This would assist the Commissioners to institute country scholarships, and thus obviate some of the difficulties experienced by country children, who at present have to compete with children educated at large schools within the city, where the surroundings are such that closer attention can be devoted to the scholarship candidates. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. E. Blaib, Chairman.

HAWKB'S BAY. Sib, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 12th April, 1897. In compliance with your circular of 12th January last, I have the honour to report as follows for the past year : — There were two auction sales of leases during the year. At the first, two town, four suburban, and four rural lots were offered. All of these lots had previously been held under lease, the rural land having been held in one block. One town lot which had previously been unoccupied for a considerable time was passed in. The rentals under the old leases aggregated £195 Bs. per annum, and it is satisfactory to be able to report that under the new leases the same lands are let at a total rental of £279 15s. 6d. per annum. At the second auction sale nine town and fourteen rural lots were offered. All of these lots had previously been held under lease. The whole of the lots were sold at an aggregate rental of £78. The general statement of receipts and expenditure for the past year has been prepared. It has been audited and certified to as correct by the Controller and Auditor-General, and a copy of same is forwarded herewith. It will be observed from the statement of assets and liabilities which accompanies the statement of receipts and expenditure that the rents outstanding at the end of the year amounted to £732 35., but since then a large amount has been recovered, and it is expected that the arrears will be materially diminished at an early date. I have, &c, The Secretary for Education, Wellington. Eeic P. Gold-Smith, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sro,— Hokitika, February, 1897. 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, 1896. During the year there has been an increase in the amount received from royalties on timber. The increase in rents is due to payments for temporary holdings in connection with the right to cut timber. In consequence, payments have been made to the High School Boards of the district. Eents for ordinary purposes have not increased, and the need of the reduction of rates on reserves let for pastoral purposes, as explained in the last annual report, is still very urgent. 1 have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Jas. A. Bonae, Chairman.

CANTERBURY. Sir, — Government Buildings, Christchurch, 6th January, 1897. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1896, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary educational estate under lease on the 31st December, 1896, was 68,018-J- acres, producing an annual rental of £16,026 Is. Bd.; 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. The fixed deposit of £163 3s. 5d., which matured on the 21st December, 1896 (and is only available for the purchase of land), has been renewed for one year. During the year three reserves, containing in all 869 acres, were relet by tender for periods of fourteen years or thereabouts as separate farms ; and of these, two, containing 740 acres, were only suitable for pastoral purposes. The Board granted the lessee of Pastoral Run No. 5, in consequence of the loss of sheep sustained by him during the winter of 1895, a reduction of rent of £70 per annum from the Ist March, 1896, to the expiry of his lease, which reduction was sanctioned by His Excellency the Governor in Council ; and a reduction of rent of £23 Bs. 6d. per annum was granted for two years to the lessee of a subdivision of an agricultural reserve. These two reductions, added to those for £592 18s. previously granted by the Board in respect of thirty-six reserves or subdivisions of same, makes a total annual reduction of £686 6s. 6d. In the balance-sheet the sum of £29 16s. 4d. is shown in the receipts as an amount recovered through the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court from the lessee of Lot lof Reserve 1209. This tenant had been warned more than once as to over-cropping the land, and neglect of his conditions of lease generally, and it was considered advisable to make an example of him, and an action was brought in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court, Timaru, and £40 damages obtained against him, but of that sum £10 3s. Bd. went in costs. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. H. R. Webb, Chairman.

rent of £100 65., or 6Jd. per acre. The area of the agricultural land was 5,715 acres, leased to fifty-one tenants at £897 9s. per annum, or 3s. per acre. The township sections contain about 1 rood each, and were leased to nine tenants at £11 17s. per annum, or an average rent of 18s. 2Jd. each. The total number of tenants on the School Commissioners' rent-roll at the end of 1896 was 824. During the year the sum of £2,314 13s. lid. was received as repayment of loans, and £350 was advanced on mortgage at per cent. As the Commissioners only lend money on the security of first-class arable land, which could be added to the endowments in the event of its falling into their hands, the choice of suitable securities is somewhat circumscribed, and they have a difficulty in finding profitable investment for their funds. In view of this fact they are considering the advisableness of adding to the endowment by the purchase of suitable land if such can be obtained on advantageous terms. In the early part of the year the Commissioners offered at auction a block of 5,977 acres, which they took from Eun 193 a, Wendon, in sections ranging from 161 to 837 acres, for twenty-one years' agricultural lease. Of this block 3,908 acres were taken up by ten tenants, at an average rent of 3s. 4-fd. per acre. I regret to say that, notwithstanding the fact that the Commissioners have offered the Wendon and Greenvale Euns for lease on five occasions at very low upsets, they have been unable as yet to find tenants, the evident reason being the large expenditure necessary to keep down the rabbits, and also the low prices of pastoral products. The cost of rabbit destruction is now being borne by the Commissioners, and unless the runs are taken up before the end of the winter, it will add very considerably to the expenses of management. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears on 31st December, 1896, the sum of £3,431 12s. 6d. has been collected since the end of the year, and the Commissioners are adopting vigorous measures to obtain payment of the balance. As stated in previous reports all rents are due half-yearly in advance, and a number of them are not debited until late in the year, some as late as December. In such cases they are seldom paid in time for inclusion in the year's accounts. I desire to explain that, of the items £1,830 Is. 10d. and £47 10s. 9d. shown in the statement of accounts under the head of expenditure on account of Primary and Secondary Education Eeserves, £296 3s. Id. was paid to the Southland County Council as a subsidy for road-making, £76 2s. 6d. was expended on drainage and protective works on the reserves, £160 11s. 6d. was paid for rabbiting, £212 6s. 6d. was paid for surveying agricultural block on runs, £8 11s. for rates, and £94 10s. 6d. to the Government in the shape of train-fares, stamps, telegrams, &c. (£SO Bs. 10d. of this amount represented train-fares of the country Commissioners in connection with their attendance at meetings in Dunedin). The sum of £36 3s. 6d. was collected for the preparation of leases by the Commissioners' office staff, and should therefore be deducted from the cost of management. If all the foregoing figures are deducted, the actual cost of management would not be more than £945 14s. 3d., or 5 per cent, on the money collected during the year. A copy of the balance-sheet, and statement of receipts and expenditure, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General, was forwarded to your department on the Bth April last. I have, &c, J. P. Maitland, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.
