1898. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord,— Wellington, 4th July, 1898. 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, 1897. I have, &c, W. C. WALKEE. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Eanfurly, G-overnor of New Zealand.

REPORT. In this Report and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Report (E -1a) on the certificate examinations, and in the Reports of the Inspectors of Schools (E -1b), is contained all the information that is of public interest with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1877," and " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," and also all the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully treated of 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, Manual and Technical Instruction; E.-6, New Zealand University; E.-7, University of Otago; E-8 Canterbury College; E.-9, Canterbury Agricultural College; E.-10, Auckland University College; E.-11, Secondary Schools. Public School Pupils. For the year 1897 the estimated average daily attendance of pupils at the primary schools-the "working average," which determines the amount of the canitation grants—was 112,000; the actual returns for the year give 112,328, which number is larger by 1,811 than the corresponding number for the previous year The "strict average" for 1897 is 110,993, exceeding the corresponding number for 1896 by 2,017. In Table A the progress of attendance during the twenty years of the operation of the Education Act is exhibited, E.—l,

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1897.

The average number of pupils on the rolls of the schools in 1897, taking one week with another, was 133,961, and the strict average attendance for the year was 110,993, so that 82 - 9 per cent, represents the degree of the regularity of attendance. On reference to the sixth column of Table Ait will be seen that this is the highest degree of regularity which has yet been attained. Table B shows that in five districts—Hawke's Bay, Westland, North Canterbury, South Canterbury, and Otago—the degree of regularity is above the average.

TABLE B. —School Attendance for 1897.

There are only three districts in which there is a decline in the attendance both for the fourth quarter of 1897 and for the whole of the year —viz., Nelson, Westland, and Otago. The Maori children included in the foregoing enumerations of attendance continue to increase. At the end of 1896 the number of such children on the rolls was 2,023 ; during the year it rose to 2,260. This is altogether independent of the number of pupils on the books of the Native schools (2,864), and the number attending boarding-schools for Natives at Government expense (73).

Table C, derived from Table No. 1 (Appendix, p. 1), shows that the boys attending the public primary schools outnumber the girls in the usual proportion of about 51-8 to 48-2. The number below the age of ten is to the number above that age as 51 - 6 to 48 - 4, but this ratio seems to be slightly declining. The ages at which the attendance is proportionately most numerous are the years between nine and ten and between ten and eleven, in the order in which they are here stated ; and after the age of thirteen (or probably before that age) a rapid decline sets in, which, however, seems not to begin quite so early as it did some years ago.

TABLE C. —Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1897.

The statement of the classification of pupils in standard classes is given in detail in Table No. 2 (Appendix, p. 2), and condensed into a shorter statement in Table D.

TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1897.

classes preparing for Standards 111. and IV. the change in this respect is intermittent, and in all the lower classes the proportional number of pupils is diminishing. All this, of course, is quite satisfactory, assuming, as may be fairly assumed, that the standard of examination is maintained, if not advanced. The three classes proper to pupils who have passed at least the Fourth Standard constitute only 20*71 per cent, of the whole number of pupils, while the next three classes below contain 41-7, and those who have not yet passed any standard constitute 37"59 of the total. Table E, which gives for each standard in each district the average age at which the pupils pass, exhibits little variation from year to year. The mean of the several " standard ages " for the colony is the same —eleven years and seven months—as it was last year, and has been the same since 1893, when it was eleven years and eight months. As usual the most conspicuous differences are those which come to light in comparing district with district.

TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1897.

The rolls of the different schools on their days of inspection amounted to 132,318 in 1897, this number being smaller by 1,643 than the average of the weekly roll. This number is accounted for thus: 40,741 were in preparatory classes and not ready for standard examination ; 2,324 had already passed the Sixth Standard, and were therefore not subject to standard examination ; 73,392 was the total of all who passed one of the six standards; 13,268 failed; and 2,593 was the number absent from examination. The passes as related to the number on the roll amount to 55 - 5 per cent.; the failures as related to the number examined for standards amount to 15 - 32. In 1896 the percentages reckoned in the same way were 54 - 45 and 15-55, so that what difference there is is in the way of progress.

In the following Table (Gr) the passes and failures for each separate standard in each district are set out. The passes expressed as percentages of the number examined in each standard are as follows: —Standard. 1., 95 - 8; 11., 92.7; 111., 82; IV., 74-5 ; V., 77-6 ; VI., 88-7. These results are in every case better than those of the previous year, and in the case of the Sixth Standard remarkably better. Eegarded as percentages of the number of pupils on the roll, the passes in the several standards are as follows : —Standard 1., 11 - 3 ; 11., 11 "7 ; 111., 11*2 ; IV., 9-4; V., 7-1; VI., 4-8.

TABLE G.—Passes.

The information contained in Table H is given according to custom, and is not without its value.

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

It is necessary to guard against a misapprehension which might arise from a cursory inspection of Table B, where the number of pupils entering in 1897 is stated at 48,756, and the number that have left at 40,092, and where it appears also that 7,504 left between the closing of the schools in 1896 and the reopening in 1897. It is, however, impossible to suppose that nearly 50,000 old scholars left and nearly 50,000 new ones entered in the year. These high numbers result from frequent removals from one school to another, and from long absences which lead to the temporary striking-off of names. The number 1,160, which is the difference between arrivals and departures, is probably really to be accounted for by the admission of about 16,000 new pupils and the departure of about 15,000. The census tables show that the country could not keep up an annual supply of more than about 17,000 new pupils, and an investigation of

this year's Table C, compared with the similar table of last year, proves (so far as the accuracy of these tables can be relied on) that at least 15,842 really new pupils were admitted, and 14,682 retired. A similar investigation of Tables D and. G for the two years show at least 14,764 admitted, and 13,604 retired. The details are as follows :— Entered between the ages of 5 and 6 ... ... ... 10,061 6 „ 7 ... ... ... 3,536 7 „ 8* ... ... ... 1,853 8 „ 9 ... ... ... 143 9 „ 10 160 10 „ 11 ... .. ... 89 15,842 Left between the ages of 11 and 12 ... ... ... 460 12 „ 13 ... ... ... 748 13 „ 14 ... ... ... 2,974 14 ~ 15 ... ... ... 4,533 Left, being over 15 years old ... ... ... ... 5,967 14,682 Gain ... ... 1,160 The result obtained by comparing Table D for 1896 with Tables D and Gr for 1897 is not very different:— New pupils in preparatory and First Standard classes ... 14,436 „ class preparing for Standard 11. ... ... 328 14,764 Losses from „ „ 111. ... ... 793 IV 2,121 V 2,487 VI. ... ... 2,274 „ class above Standard VI. ... ... ... 5,929 13,604 Gain ... ... 1,160 It seems fair to conclude from these statements that about 43 - 6 per cent, remain in the schools for a while after they have passed out of the Sixth Standard class, that 16-7 and 183 per cent, leave after passing the Fifth and Fourth Standards respectively, and 21 - 4 without passing the Fourth; and that 40 - 6 per cent, of those that leave are above the age of fifteen on leaving, while only 8 - 2 per cent, are under the age of thirteen. Public Schools and Teachees. Table J shows that the number of schools increased during the year from 1,533 to 1,585, and that the number of schools is growing faster than the number of pupils, there being on an average less than 70 pupils to each school. The number of schools with less than 25 pupils each was increased during the year by 55. The number of half-time schools remains about the same as it was last year.

The number of teachers and pupil-teachers was increased by 113 during the year, and the number of pupils to one teacher has been reduced from 311 to 30 - 5. The number of women teachers increased both actually and relatively.

TABLE X.—School Staff, December, 1897.

The total amount distributed in salaries to teachers, pupil-teachers, and sewing-mistresses in the last quarter of the year was .£359,412, which sum divided by 3,810 gives an average salary of j£94 6s. Bd., or about £1 less than the similar average of last year.

TABLE L.—Salaries of Teachers, December, 1897.

The number of teachers holding rank which properly requires a certificate (that is, all excepting pupil-teachers and sewing-mistresses) was 2,549 at the end of the year, and of these 2,244 actually held certificates; and 22 others had completed the examination for certificates, but had not fulfilled a sufficient term of service, or had not had marks awarded to them by inspectors. The remainder is made up as follows: —92 in whose favour "partial pass" was recorded, 45 who had failed at examination, and 146 who had never been examined by the department. Of these uncertificated teachers 14 held a license to teach,

TABLE M.—Teachers Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1897. (Numbers in brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

If the results of examination of January, 1898, were taken into account, it would be necessary to revise Table M, to make it show 2,334 qualified by examination, and 215 unqualified, as follows: —" partial pass," 41; failed, 54; not examined, 120. At the examination of January, 1898, sixty-eight of the unqualified teachers satisfied the examiners. If these are added to the numbers in the first three columns they raise the number of teachers qualified by examination to 2,334. In a similar way the numbers in the other three columns after the examination would be as follows : —Partial pass, 41 ; failed, 54; not examined, 120. Education Boards.

In Table O this part of the building vote is included in the assets. Tables O and P show what was the financial position of each Board at the beginning of 1898.

TABLE O.— Money Assets (and Deficits), December, 1897.

TABLE P.—Money Liabilities (and Balances), December, 1897.

On their General Account, as distinguished from their Building Account, the balances of eleven of the Boards amounted to .£18,768 13s. Id., and only two Boards —Grey and North Canterbury —showed a deficit in this respect. Seven Boards showed deficits amounting to £11,043 12s. Bd. for building purposes, and there were only six Boards that could show balances available on that account, such balances amounting altogether to £4,019 ss. 3d. Taking both the Building Account and the General Account into consideration, the Boards whose assets are outweighed by their liabilities are Grey, North Canterbury, and Otago, the adverse balances being very small in each case (Grey, £74; North Canterbury, £375; and Otago, £80). The vote for school buildings in special settlements has not'yet been allotted, but the Boards have been invited to make known their wants in this respect, and distribution will shortly be made. Table Q shows that even in the case of schools already in operation the full number of schoolhouses and masters' dwellings is still far from being provided for, and that there are some overcrowded schools.

TABLE S.—Summary of Sohool Commissionrs' Accounts — continued.

The sums paid by the Commissioners to Education Boards in 1897 amounted to £38,522 15s. 9d. An equal sum has been deducted by the Treasury from the capitation grants due to Boards. Native Schools. The number of Native village schools was the same (74) at the end of the year as at the beginning. The number of children on the roll at the end of 1897 was 2,864, greater by only 2 than the corresponding number for the previous year. The mean of the weekly returns of pupils on the roll was 2,955, greater by 81 than at the end of the preceding year ; and the strict average attendance was 2,291, showing an increase of 71 in the year. The average daily attendance for the year was equal to 77£ per cent, of the roll-number for the time being. Four schools were finally closed in 1897, and one was transferred to the care of an Education Board; four new schools were opened, and one school was reopened after having been closed for some years. The closing of the school at Maketu is to be attributed to the apathy of the people, and of that at Rangiahua to decline of Native population. In the case of Waitapu both causes were operative, and at Mangakahia, though the population is a scattered one, the schaol might have been maintained if the people had shown a proper interest in it. The school at Colac Bay, transferred to the Southland Education Board, had for years contained a preponderating number of European pupils and the Maori people had long lived in European fashion. The old school that has been reopened is at Pamapuria, Mangonui. The four new schools are at Utakura, Hokianga; Manaia, in the Coromandel Peninsula; Baorao, on the shores of the Aotea Harbour ; and Kokako, near Waikaremoana and on the Wairoa Boad. The aggregate attendance at these five schools for the first quarter of 1898 is 137. Since the beginning of this year new schools have been opened at the following places: Whakarara, near Whangaroa; Opureora, near Tauranga; Te Kuiti, on the main line of railway from Auckland; Karioi, between Taupo and Wanganui; and Koriniti, on the Wanganui Biver. A subsidy, at the capitation rate of £3 155., has been granted to a movement instituted in Nelson for the establishment of a small school at Croiselles Harbour. A new school is at present in process of erection at Nuhaka, near the Mahia Peninsula ; an old school at Peria, Mangonui, is to be reopened, and probably the old school at Otamatea, Kaipara, will also be reopened. There are many applications for new schools, and it is most likely that on further inquiry eight or nine of these applications will be found to be well grounded. The four boarding-schools for Maoris had at the end of the year 236 pupils, of whom 73 were Government scholars. There were 10 boys holding industrial scholarships apprenticed as follows : —3 to farmers, 3 to saddlers, 2 to carpenters, Ito a blacksmith, and Ito a printer. Scholarships for £40 a year each were enjoyed by two young men studying, one at the University College, Auckland, and the other at Canterbury College, Christchurch.

The 74 schools were under the charge of 60 masters and 14 mistresses, whose salaries range between £74 and £233; and there were 60 assistants and 14 sewing-mistresses, with salaries between £7 and £50. The expenditure on Native schools for 1897 was as follows:—Teachers' salaries and allowances, £12,565 lis. Id.; books and school requisites, £517 45.; repairs and small works, £474 lis. 7d.; inspection, £885 10s. 4d.; boardingschools and scholarships, £1,857 6s. lid.; buildings, fencing, furniture, &c, £4,335 6s. 2d.; sundries, £107 os. 3d.: total, £20,742 10s. 4d. Fuller details, together with the Inspector's report, will be found in another paper (Native Schools, E.-2). Mr. Pope's report shows that the numbers of children who passed the several standards in Native schools in 1897 were as follows:—Standard 1., 470; 11., 339; 111, 249; IV, 128; V, 23; VI, 5: total, 1,214. Industrial Schools. The number of inmates on the books of the industrial schools increased from 1,559 to 1,588 during the year : 150 have been discharged, and 179 admitted. The-increase in Government schools was 12; in private schools, 17. Of the whole number of 1,588 inmates, 589 though under the control of the institutions were not dependent on them for maintenance, 119 being licensed to reside with their friends, 439 placed at service, 3 in hospital, 3 in lunatic asylums, 1 in blind asylum, 2 on probation at the Costley Training Institution, 2 in prison, and 20 absent without leave (8 from places of service and 12 from the schools). Those who were dependent on the schools for maintenance number 999, divided as follows:—581 resident inmates of the schools, 396 boarded out, and 22 girls whose maintenance was paid for in several appropriate institutions. Of the resident inmates 199 were in Government and 382 in private schools; and of the children boarded out 385 were from Government schools and 11 from private schools. Great care is taken to avoid an undue commingling of different classes of children in the Government schools, so that, although there are 1,099 nominal inmates of these schools, the number actually resident is only 199 —only 18 per cent.; the rest are accounted for as follows :—385 are boarded out, 85 are living with their friends, 371 are in service, 41 in institutions better suited to their condition, and 18 absent without leave.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1896 and 1897.

Of the 150 discharged during the year, 125 were discharged by warrant, 16 attained the age of 21 years, 6 died, 2 were transferred to the Costley Training Institution, and one was married with the consent of the Manager, who was her guardian. The causes of the 6 deaths are recorded as follows: —A young woman, aged 19, on the books of the Caversham School, died of tubercular meningitis ; a young man of 18, licensed to service from the Caversham School, was drowned while bathing; a girl of 17 died in the Auckland Industrial School of sarcoma and wasting; a girl from Burnham, aged 12J, died in the hospital from chronic inflammation of the ear; a little girl of 10, belonging to St. Joseph's School, Wellington, died of abscess of the liver; and a very delicate boy, aged I\, belonging to Caversham, died of enteritis and pneumonia,

The precedent condition of inmates admitted during 1897 may be stated as follows : —54 destitute, 20 vagrant, 33 living in disreputable places, 8 uncontrollable, 64 guilty of punishable offences. The number of new inmates belonging to the Church of England is 88 ; 53 are Koman Catholic ; 27 are Presbyterian ; 10 Methodist; and 1 Congregational. A list is here given of the several Stipendiary Magistrates' Courts from which the 179 new inmates were sent to the schools, and of the number sent in each case : —Auckland, 31; Thames, 2; Hamilton, 1; Ngaruawahia, 4; Hunterville, 5; New Plymouth, 2; Palmerston North, 3; Wanganui, 1; Pahiatua, 5; Marton, 1; Wellington, 44; Blenheim, 1 ; Nelson, 2 ; Eeefton, 1; Greyrnouth, 2 ; Christchurch, 24; Lyttelton, 4; Ashburton, 1; Timaru, 4; Waimate, 3; Oamaru, 5; Dunedin, 24; Port Chalmers, 2; Invercargill, 6; Eiverton, 1 : total, 179. The information from which Table U is compiled is somewhat meagre, but probably the following results derived from it are not very far from being true: —In 72 cases the character of both parents appears to be satisfactory; in 12 cases there is not sufficient knowledge of this matter ; in 31 cases the father is of bad character; in 34 cases the mother ; and in 30 cases both.

TABLE U.—Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1897.

The balance in the Post-Office Savings-Bank at the end of 1897 on account of wages of inmates belonging to the Government schools was £9,986 10s. lid., and on account of inmates in private schools, £633 4s. 2d. The amounts withdrawn during the year for inmates of Government schools was £1,617 19s. 7d., and for inmates of private schools, £74 12s. 4d.

TABLE X. —Government Expenditure on Private Schools, 1897.

School fob Deaf-mutes. The well-known school at Sumner, where even congenital deaf-mutes are taught actually to speak and to understand the vocal speech of others, continues its beneficent operations with little variation and with few incidents fitted to give rise to any comment. Three boys and 5 girls left at the end of 1896 and 4 boys and 3 girls were admitted in 1897. The attendance at the end of the year was 27 boys and 20 girls. The director in his work of instruction has the assistance of 5 teachers; the household arrangements are supervised by a steward and matron. The expenditure for the year was £3,277 Bs. 3d., made up of the following items : —Salaries of director and teachers, £1,349 6s. 7d. ; steward, matron, and servants, £478 55.; rent, £470 ; housekeeping, £684 7s. lOd.; travelling-expenses, £124 17s. 6d.; school material, £15 7s. 2d.; repairs and works, £47 17s. 4d.; clothing, £22 7s. lid. ; medical attendance and medicine, £12 ss. lid. ; water-supply, £11 9s.

The Jubilee Institute for the Blind receives some pupils for whose tuition the Education Department is responsible. The number of such pupils declined in the year 1897 from 19 to 14. The payments made by the department on their behalf to the Institute amounted to £461 9s. 2d., towards which a sum of £40 9s. lid. was contributed by parents. The department also pays £30 ss. a year for a railway-ticket for the use of an agent of the Institute. No account is given here of grants made to the Institute by the department in charge of hospitals and charitable aid. Manual Teaining and Technical Instbuction. The annual reports of the several Education Boards afford no reason to believe that any great activity is being manifested in the development of that kind of elementary manual training which, under the operation of the Act of 1895, is now recognised as being part of the proper educative work of the primary schools, and which, while including kindergarten occupations and " sloyd," is capable of wide development in cardboard-work, and in the construction of models in wood and metal as illustrations of many subjects of scientific instruction. Development in this direction does not necessarily come under the notice of the department, as it lies within the province of the Education Boards. With respect to another form of manual instruction, a form in which it constitutes, through the handling of tools and materials, a more direct preparation for manual trades, the Act of 1895 contemplates a measure of co-operation between the department and the Boards, since any serious treatment of the subject from this point of view seems to require a workshop and some expenditure on tools, and to have its proper place outside of the time properly devoted to such mental development and equipment as is generally comprehended under the word " schooling." It has been deemed a great gain to have secured in our time this " schooling " for the children of all classes, and it ought not to be proposed now to encroach upon its hours in the interests of that kind of serious preparation for a trade or a business which naturally begins when school-days are over. For manual instruction out of school-hours the Boards receive subsidy at the same rate as for any classes they may institute

outside of the schools for technical training. During 1897 the Auckland Education Board received 15s. sd. for manual classes at Devonport, and £5 ss. for a similar class at Eemuera. The Wellington Board received similar aid for three classes, as follows : —Paraparaumu, £4 19s. 6d.; Cross Creek, £2 os. 6d. ; Mauriceville West, £14 14s. 4d. The Grey Education Board, for a class in the Greymouth District High School, received £11 14s. 7d., beside a grant of £25 for equipment; the Westland Education Board, for a class at the Kuntara School, £5 16s. 10d. as subsidy, and £70 for equipment. The Otago Education Board received a subsidy of £12 16s. 4d. for Balclutha District High School, and £9 16s. lid. for a similar school at Tokomairiro. With respect to classes for technical instruction as distinguished from manual instruction, the Education Board of Wanganui received £52 Is. 4d. as subsidy on classes at Wanganui, and £13 17s. lid. for classes at Palmerston North, and a special grant of £200 in aid of its Technical School at Wanganui. The Wellington Board received £396 17s. Id. as capitation on classes at its Technical School, and a special grant of £100 in aid of the same institution. The Otago Education Board received £58 10s. as capitation for classes attending its School of Art. The North Canterbury Board has classes in Christchurch and Leeston, partly to prepare teachers for imparting manual instruction and partly for the manual instruction of the older school-boys. This Board received a capitation grant of £41 7s. 6d. for its Christchurch work, and a grant of £172 10s. for workshop installation; for the Leeston class it received £1 6s. 3d. as capitation, and £25 as a grant-in-aid. The total payments to Education Boards for capitation amount to £641 19s 6d., and the special grants amount to £592 10s. In allowing capitation grants to technical classes it has been deemed better to err rather on the side of a too liberal interpretation of terms than on that of undue strictness, and —after the example of the Science and Art Department in London —to recognise such subjects as shorthand and bookkeeping, and even classes that might fairly be considered as answering the purposes of a continuation school; but classes for primary school work have not been so recognised, nor classes for the instruction of pupil-teachers. Special grants have been made to Technical Classes Associations as follows : —Auckland, £100 ; Gisborne, £30; Dunedin, £450; and Invercargill, £50 ; and a grant of £80 to the Christchurch School of Domestic Instruction. The capitation grants to these and other institutions are as follows:—Auckland Technical Classes Association, £40 3s. 4d.; Ashburton Technical Classes Association, £9 14s. 7d.; Balclutha Technical Classes Association, £40 17s. 10d.; Canterbury College School of Art, £162 4s. 10d.; Christchurch School of Domestic Instruction, £99 2s.

To the teachers of what may be called private adventure classes capitation payments have been made as follows: —Messrs. Bickerton Brothers, Christchurch, £15 3s. 7d.; Miss A. M. Carr, Christchurch, £109 10s.; Mr. C. H. Gilby, Christchurch, £34 16s. 6d. ; Misses Hardie and Manning, Napier, £12 7s. Id. ; Mr. W. I. Eobinson, Auckland, £42 9s. 9d.; Mr. J. M. Telford, Christchurch, £2 11s. 3d. The total of capitation grants to individual teachers is £805 12s. 7d., and of capitation and special grants to associations, £710. The other items of expenditure for 1897 on account of technical instruction are as follows: Expenses of Science and Art. Department examinations, £62 lls. 7d. ; expenses of City and Guilds of London Institute examinations, £33 10s. 9d.; part of cost of railway travelling of students and teachers, £68 9s. Id ; preparation of drawings of woodwork exercises, £15 9s. 3d.; publications purchased, Bs. 4d.; freight on loan collection from Science and Art Department, £1 ss. 7d.

Secondaey Schools. The reports of the secondary schools are given in a separate paper (E.-ll). Their current income for 1897 from school fees, not including fees for boarders, was £23,770; from rents and interest, £24,462; and from endowments administered by School Commissioners, £2,303. The pupils on the rolls in the last quarter of the year were 2,709, of whom only 166, or 6 per cent., were under twelve years of age. Table Z contains some of the principal statistics relating to these schools.

EEPOETS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

AUCKLAND. In compliance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1897 : — Board. —At the beginning of 1897 the Board consisted of the following~members : The Rev. Canon Bates, Messrs. T. Cooper, A. E. Harris, W. Lambe, S. Luke, J. Muir, E. Udy, W. Woodward, and J. H. Wright. Canon Bates and Mr. Lambe retired from office in March, and were succeeded by Mr. E. Hobbs and Mr. J. E. Eeed. Mr. Woodward died in June, and Mr. L. J. Bagnall was elected to fill the vacancy. At the annual election, held this month, Mr. Bagnall and Mr. Luke were re-elected. Mr. Harris (who did not seek re-election) will be succeeded by Mr. E. Farrell. Mr. Muir was Chairman of the Board until April, 1897; Mr. Luke has been Chairman since that month. Twenty-six meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. Thirty-eight committee meetings were also held during the year. Schools. —Three hundred and sixty-three schools were in operation during the year. The number of schools open at the end of the year was 359, of which number forty-two were halftime. New schools were opened at Waiheke (itinerant), Bream-tail, Omaru, Te Arai, Opanake, Opouriao South, Opouriao North, Awatuna, Katui, Hukatere, Kowhai, Pepepe, Tairua Block, Kimihia, Te Eau-a-moa, Tangaihi; and schools were reopened at Woodside (Kaeo) and at Hunua (No. 2). The following schools were closed during the year: Euth's Island, Pukekaroro, Eiverhead, Bothwell, Kaurihohore, Long Bay, Taotaoroa. The buildings at Kaurihohore, Long Bay, and Taotaoroa are the property of the Board. The last-named building is about to be removed to another site. The teacher's residence at Kaurihohore is to be removed to Hikurangi for use there. The number of small schools is steadily increasing. No fewer than eighty-six full-time schools have an average attendance of less than twenty scholars. The Board grants a capitation of £5 a year to certificated teachers in charge of schools where the average is under fifteen, and a further grant is made to cover the cost of school stationery and other incidental expenses. It is estimated that four-fifths of the total number of the schools in this district fail to earn sufficient capitationgrant to cover the cost of their maintenance. Teachees. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 856, classified as follows: Head teachers, 338; assistant teachers, 191; pupil-teachers, 263; sewing-teachers, 64; the total comprising 320 males and 536 females. All teachers above the rank of pupil-teacher are certificated except thirteen, of whom eight have obtained partial classification in Class E or D. The scale of salaries for assistant teachers was revised and increased during the year. The pupilteachers are classified as follows: First year, 86; second year, 41; third year, 45; ex-pupil-teachers, 91 : total, 263. Classes for the instruction of pupil-teachers are held at Auckland every Saturday by specially appointed teachers of Latin, French, mathematics, and science. The first examination of pupil-teachers and candidates under the new regulations will be held in June next. Nearly all the candidates who qualified at the examination in June, 1897, have received employment, after a term of probation spent by them at some school under the direction of a head teacher. Attendance. —The roll-number of scholars has increased from 26,607 to 27,683, with an increase of 627 in the (strict) average attendance. The work of the Truant Officer has had a distinctly beneficial effect in and around Auckland. Greater stringency in administering the provisions of the School Attendance Act seems to be required in many country districts, where there is evidence of a growing tendency to disregard the law in this matter. There still seems to be an impression that the enforcement of " compulsory attendance " at school rests at the option of the School Committee of the district. Scholarships.—The number of district scholarships held at the end of the year was seventyseven—viz., twenty-six senior and fifty-one junior. Good reports continue to be received of the diligence and progress of the scholars. The programme of examination has been revised, and the conditions of award of the scholarships are now under revision. Technical. —The Board is prepared to take control of technical and manual instruction if sufficient funds shall be provided by the State for the purpose. Until that condition shall be fulfilled it is not likely that the scheme of technical and manual education set forth in the Act of 1895 can be extended beyond present limits. Classes in manual instruction are held at the Devonport and Eemuera Schools; and an offer of instruction in agricultural chemistry at the Otahuhu School has lately been made and accepted. A recommendation for the establishment of eyening continuation schools has been forwarded to the Minister by the Board. A proposal to build a training college and technical school is under consideration, but some difficulty is experienced in procuring a suitable site. Finance.—The income from all sources during the year was £100,753 19s. 2d., and the expenditure was £100,275 3s. sd. The statutory capitation grant of £3 15s. per head was applied (approximately) as follows : Teachers' salaries, £3 2s. 4d. per head; grants to School Committees (including the painting and repair of school buildings), 7s. lid. per head; inspection and examination, Is. lOd. per head; cost of Board's management, Is. 9d. per head; unexpended, Is. 2d. per head: total, £3 15s. A net saving of £1,178 Is. 6d. accrued on Maintenance Account during the

E.—l

64

year; and at the end of the year this account showed a credit balance of £2,780 13s. 6d. after providing for all liabilities thereon. For school buildings the sum of £12,450 was received from Government, and the expenditure amounted to £13,641 13s. Id. A balance of £1,655 3s. was owing from Building Account to Maintenance Account at the end of the year. The liabilities on Building Account at the end of the year amounted to £4,971 10s. 6d. a further sum of about £4,000 being required to complete all the works then authorised but not begun. Against these liabilities there is the balance of the building grant yet to be received for the current financial year. Buildings.—Many important works, such as the building of new schools and the improvement of existing schools, have to be postponed for lack of funds. Teachers' residences are needed in many districts in which the accommodation is both insufficient and inconvenient. Large demands are constantly arising for the repair and renewal of old buildings. Sites require clearing and fencing. Shelter-sheds and other outbuildings have to be erected or enlarged. A change of population or settlement necessitates the removal of the school to some other site. The Board is therefore compelled to ask that the funds for these purposes may be increased, not curtailed. A permanent staff of two foremen carpenters and two foremen painters is employed (under direction of the architect) to make necessary improvements and repairs. The demand for their services is increasing so greatly as to cause unavoidable delay in attending to some of the many and varied requirements. It is clear that the wants of 359 schools (scattered over a wide area) cannot be adequately met unless School Committees will continue to exercise close and vigilant supervision over the school properties in their districts. Where such local supervision is exercised many minor repairs and wants are duly supplied without waiting for the visit of the foreman, and the school premises are kept in a creditable state of repair. Where this is neglected, habits of untidiness are engendered, together with a spirit of carelessness and indifference, which may ultimately result in acts of abuse or even wilful and wanton damage to the school premises and apparatus. It bejioves those for whose benefit these buildings exist to guard them jealously against acts of vandalism and destruction, and to do all in their power to promote a loyal regard for the care of public property. Jubilee. —The Queen's Diamond Jubilee was celebrated by the observance of a week's holiday in all the schools. A special lesson setting forth the leading events and the progress of the Empire during the past sixty years was printed and circulated for use in the schools. A congratulatory address to Her Majesty was signed by 25,445 scholars of the schools throughout the education district, and was forwarded to His Excellency the Governor for presentation to the Queen. Her Majesty has expressed her great admiration of the artistic manner in which the address was illuminated and bound, and her cordial thanks to the scholars for their kind and touching expressions of loyalty. A duplicate of the address, with the signatures, and Her Majesty's reply, is to be deposited in the Auckland Free Library. Samuel Luke, Chairman.

TAEANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, 4th March, 1898. In accordance 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 the 31st December, 1897: —

65

E.-l

The Board.—The retiring members for the year were Messrs. W. Ambury, H. Faull, and J. Mackay. Messrs. Faull and Mackay were re-elected, and Mr. W. Cutfield was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. Ambury, who did not seek re-election. Mr. E. G. Bauchope was re-elected Chairman. The Board for the year, therefore, consisted of the following: Mr. Bauchope (Chairman), Miss Hey wood, Messrs. Adlam, Allsworth, Cutfield, Faull, Hill, Mackay, and Wade. Mr. Hill resigned in November, and Mr. D. McAllum was elected to fill the vacancy in January of the current year. The Board held twenty-four ordinary and two special meetings during the year, at which has been as follows: Miss Hey wood, 26; Mr. Bauchope, 26; Mr. Adlam, 25 ; Mr. Allsworth, 26; Mr. Cutfield (who was elected in March, and who had the misfortune to meet with a serious accident shortly after his election), 11; Mr. Faull, 26 ; Mr. Hill, 22; Mr. Mackay, 25; and Mr. Wade, 26. In addition to these meetings the members have all been called upon to serve on various committees, established from time to time to cope with the work of the Board. Schools.—The Huiroa, Tongaporutu, and Kaiauai Schools, contracts for which were let at the end of 1896, were opened early in the year, bringing the number of schools in operation up to sixty. The Whangamomona School will be opened almost immediately, and the Board has in contemplation the erection of a school at Uruti, to supply the pressing needs of outlying settlers in that neighbourhood. Before considering applications for the establishment of new schools, the Board now sets up a committee to visit the locality, to interview the applicants with a view to ascertain if the settlement is likely to be of a permanent nature, to ascertain the distance from the nearest school, the formation of the country, and the state of the roads. With this information before it, the Board is in a position to deal with the application. Even with the greatest care it is impossible to avoid adding to the number of small schools, as the Board feels it would be neglecting its duty if it did not provide the means of education for the children of pioneer settlers. Teachers.—The number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year was 133, as against 126 at the end of 1896. Changes have been frequent during the year, and in order to reduce the number, and the consequent temporary disorganization of schools, the Board brought a regulation into force in April, to the effect that no application for transfer would be considered unless the applicant had been in the Board's service twelve months. The Board has also revised its pupil-teachers' regulations, and made provision for the employment of a small number of expupil teachers and cadets. The result of last year's examination of pupil-teachers was very unsatisfactory, seeing that out of twenty-two who were examined ten failed to pass into the next higher grade. The Board intimated to the teachers interested, and to the pupil-teachers who failed, that it expects a better result this year. Attendance. —The total number on the roll at the end of last year was 3,845, as against 3,827 at the end of 1896. The increase would have been greater but for the enlargement and reorganization of the Eoman Catholic School at Stratford. It was opened with a new staff of teachers in January, 1897, and has, for the present, affected the attendance at the schools in that neighbourhood. The average attendance still continues to improve, and has now reached 78 per cent., the highest percentage yet reached in this district. The Board has decided to appoint three Truant Inspectors, with the hope of improving the attendance in those parts of the district where there is still great room for improvement. Buildings.—New schools have been erected at Whangamomona and Kaiauai, and additions made to the Frankley Eoad School. New residences have been built at Inglewood and Oaonui, and additions made at Eahotu. The question of residences has become one of great urgency, no fewer than twenty-five of our schools being without them. The teachers are granted a rentallowance in lieu of a residence, but it is difficult for them to get accommodation near to the schools in bush districts, the majority of the settlers, when first going on the land, only building houses with sufficient accommodation for their own families. The Board finds that each year the buildings now in use, some of which have been built for many years, absorb a larger amount of the building fund more than one-third of the total grant was spent in painting and improving old buildings last year. Stratford District High School.—Seeing that the population of the district has largely increased, more especially in the south-eastern part, and that the advantages of the New Plymouth High School have not been utilised in a corresponding degree, as is apparent from the fact that the attendance has only increased by five since it was opened in January, 1882, the Board gladly acceded to the request of the Stratford Committee, and applied to the Hon. the Minister of Education for his sancciun to convert the Stratford School into a District High School. His consent having been obtained, the school was opened as a District High School after the Christmas holidays, with Mr. John Boyle, M.A., as first assistant-master. The result so far has justified the Board's action, as there are now twenty-one pupils taking advantage of the opportunity thus given them. Scholarships.—As a result of the December examination, scholarships have been awarded to four boys and five girls. The Board was able to increase the number of awards this year, owing to five of the candidates being able to attend the Stratford District High School, thus dispensing with the travelling-allowances hitherto granted to scholarship holders who live in that neighbourhood. Committees. —There are now forty-eight school districts and School Committees, an increase of six as compared with the previous year. The Committees continue to show an increasing interest in performing the duties devolving upon them, and the Board is. pleased to be again able to state that it continues to work harmoniously with them. Finance. —The income of the Board from all sources, including £1,042 7s. Id., balance on 31st December, 1896, was £15,770 16s. 7d., and the expenditure £14,537 25., leaving a credit balance of £1,233 14s. 7d. Against this balance are liabilities which fully cover the same. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eobert G. Bauchope, Chairman. 9—E. 1.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Wanganui, March, 1898. I have the honour to present the annual report of the proceedings oFthis Board for the year ending 31st December, 1897. Board. —The members who retired by rotation in March last were Messrs. Henry Sanson, James W. Baker, and George A. Hurley. Messrs. Baker and Hurley were re-elected, and Mr. F. M. Spurdle, of Wanganui, was elected in place of Mr. Sanson. During the year Mr. Gilbert Carson, Chairman of the Board, resigned, and Mr. G. S. Bridge'was elected to the vacant seat. Upon the resignation of Mr. Carson, Mr. J. W. Baker was elected Chairman for the current year. The Board is therefore now composed of the following gentlemen: Mr. James W. Baker, Warrengate, Chairman ; Mr. George S. Bridge, Wanganui; Mr. B. C. Bobbins, Hawera; Eev. John Boss, Turakina; Mr. F. M. Spurdle, Wanganui; Mr. J. H. Fry, Makino ; Mr. Frank Y. Lethbridge, M.H.E., Feilding ; Mr. Fred. Pirani, M.H.E., Palmerston North; and Mr. George A. Hurley, Manaia. Schools. —The number of schools in operation in this district at the close of 1896 was 124, and at the close of 1897 it was 127. The new schools opened are : Anderson Eoad, Utiku, and Moawhango. The average weekly roll-number for the quarter ending 31st December was 10,283. The working average, upon which the Board receives the capitation grant, was 8,459, and the strict average attendance was 8,352. The percentage of strict average attendance to the rollnumber for the four quarters was as follows: First quarter, 78-34; second quarter, 80-79 j'third quarter, 81-29 ; and fourth quarter, 81-22. The average for the year is 80-41. These figuresshow a steady rise until we come to the last quarter, when there is a slight fall. This, however, is usually the case at the end of the year. The schools are divided as follows : Twelve are aided schools, with an average attendance under 15 pupils ; seven are aided, with an average of 15 and under 20; nineteen have an average of over 20 and under 25 ; thirty-nine have an average of over 25 and under 50; twenty-one have an average of over 50 and under 75; three have an average of over 75 and under 100; thirteen have an average of over 100 and under 150 ; nine have an average of over*ls0 e and under .300; and four have an average of over 300 and under 500. Only the nineteen schools firstnamed, with an average of under 20, are aided schools. A change has been made in the names of four schools, namely : Karereis now called Longburn ; Paraekaretu, Silverhope ; Kaitoke, Millburn; and Goat Valley, Kai-Iwi. Buildings.—The principal contracts undertaken during, the year were for new schools at Mangaonoho, Euahine, Anderson Eoad, and Kai-Iwi; additions to schools at Maxwell, Feilding, Aramoho, and Mangaweka; new residences at Apiti and Birmingham, and additions to the Hunterville residence. The timber for the Kawatau School was cut and stacked in April, but was washed away by the floods, A second lot "has been cut, and a contract for the erection of the school has subsequently been let. The old Goat Valley School and site were sold, and a fresh site, free of cost, was acquired at Kai-Iwi in a more desirable situation, upon which a new school has been erected. Besides .the above, works, fences, drains, and outhouses have been attended to as far as funds would admit. The Board's carpenter has also been fully occupied upon the erection of new schools at Awahou and Whakamara. Extensive repairs, alterations, or additions have been made to the

67

E.—l

schools at Hiwinui, Taonui, Hurleyville, Pihama, Matapu, Kapuni, Sanson, Upper Taonui, Wanganui Girls', Wanganui Infants', Wanganui Boys', Ashurst, Otakeo, Waitotara, Beaconsfield, Bunnythorpe, Halcombe, Foxton, Terrace End, West Eangitikei, and Porewa; a new residence has been built at Eatanui; and repairs and additions made to the residences at Taonui, Kapcfnga, Upper Taonui, Bulls, Kapuni, Eltham, Kakaramea, South Makirikiri, Bunnythorpe, Colyton, Halcombe, and Pohangina. It may be noticed that the outlay for repairs is large in comparison with the amount spent in the erection of new buildings. This is to be accounted for by the fact that the whole of the Board's buildings are of wood, necessitating constant attention and overhaul. Considering the scattered nature of this district, the large number of perishable buildings to look after, and the limited amount of the building grant annually allocated to this Board, it is a matter of considerable difficulty to meet the demands made by the several School Committees, and applications for new schools in outlying districts. It will, however, be seen from the above statement that the Board has endeavoured to distribute the work over the whole district in a fair and equitable manner. Technical School. —With a view of extending the usefulness of this institution, the Board has considerably enlarged the building and made important additions to the furniture, casts, and scientific apparatus, all of which has been accomplished without encroaching in any way upon the Government grants for primary education. Several new classes have been established, including carpentry, wood-carving, bench-work, modelling in clay, needlework, &c, the details of which will be found in the report of the Art master. Teachers. — The Board has now 271 teachers in its employ, of which 138 are males and 133 females. There are also forty cadets, who do not receive any pay. The above teachers are classed as follows : Fifty-three head male teachers and seven head female teachers, forty-one sole male teachers in charge, twenty-five sole female teachers in charge, twelve assistant males, twentysix assistant females, thirty-two male pupil-teachers, and seventy-five female pupil-teachers. School Committees. —New Committees have been elected at Utiku and Taihape. The Marton Committee resigned, and Messrs. E. E. Beckett and E. H. Humphrey kindly undertook the duties of School Commissioners, and were elected to that position by the Board. The majority of the Eatanui Committee resigned, and fresh committeemen were elected in their stead. School Districts. —New school districts have been formed at Mangamahu, Eewa, Waipuru, Euahine, Utiku, Poukiore, Taihape, Bluff Eoad, and Koinako; and the school districts of Wanganui, Millbnrn, Mosston, and Castlecliff have been readjusted, and the whole of them gazetted. Truancy.—ln May last the Board appointed a committee of its members to consider the subject of truancy. The committee finally recommended that the several schools should be grouped within easy distance, and each group be placed in charge of a truant officer; that one of the Committees in each group should be asked, for the purpose of complying with section 12 of the School Attendance Act, to be the Committee at whose instance any necessary prosecutions should be instituted ; and that the fines recovered should be handed to the Board, to be ultimately paid over to the truant officer as a supplement to his salary. In June a circular embodying these suggestions was sent to all the School Committees, who virtually complied with the arrangement. Ultimately groups of schools were formed, with Wanganui, Palmerston North, Marton, Hawera, Patea, Foxton, and Feilding as centres. The Board will ascertain in due course whether the result has justified the means which they have adopted. Its efforts at present must be looked upon as a tentative attempt to increase the average attendance—although it is already manifest, from the number of persons who have been fined, that some action was necessary. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June. Eighty-one candidates in all classes presented themselves, viz. : Twenty-four for the first class, twenty-six for the second class, and thirty-one for the third class. In the first class,, seventeen candidates passed and seven failed; in the second class, fourteen passed and twelve failed ; in the third class, twenty passed and eleven failed. In the first or senior class a girl of the Wanganui Girls' School headed the list; in the second class, a boy from the Waverley School was at the head; and in the third class, a girl of the Marton School stood first. Of the candidates in the first class, fourteen were boys and ten were girls ; in the second class, six were boys and twenty were girls; in the third class, fifteen were boys and sixteen were girls. Scholarships.—ln the month of December the usual competitive examination for scholarships was held. Twenty-nine candidates presented themselves for the senior examination and thirtyeight for the junior. Of the senior, thirteen were girls and sixteen were boys. In this division a girl headed the list. Four scholarships were awarded, viz., three to girls and one to a boy. Five girls and five boys also qualified. Fifteen competitors failed to make the requisite percentage ; of these five were girls and ten were boys. Of the juniors, a boy headed the list; and scholarships were awarded to two boys and two girls. Five girls and eight boys also qualified. All who have qualified for scholarships but do not participate in the awards are entitled to free education either at the Collegiate School or the Girls' High School. In the junior class twenty-five candidates failed to qualify, some of whom were manifestly totally unprepared for such an examination, and were evidently wrongly advised in presenting themselves at all. In connection with the scholarships, the Board has raised the age limitation by six months. The age, therefore, for junior scholarship competitors is thirteen years and six months, and for seniors fifteen years and six months. The examinations are now held simultaneously at Wanganui, Hawera, and Palmerston North, provided that not less than seven candidates present themselves at the two latter places. This has necessitated eliminating reading from the regulations. Finance.—The General Account shows a credit balance of £2,570 9s. 5d., with liabilities amounting to £381 Os. 6d. The Building Account shows a debit of £1,258 13s. 6d. and liabilities of £744 Bs. lOd. In the Building Account, however, the Board has received £2,000 in advance of this year's grant, and this, added to the liabilities, places it in a most unsatisfactory financial position. The Board is entirely at a loss to devise any plan for complying with the building

requirements of this district, unless Government makes some special provision to meet the liabilities already incurred and to satisfy the many pressing demands which are daily received. The Inspectors' report, which is forwarded for your information, will give of the progress of education in this district. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Jas. W. Baker, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Wellington, 31st March, 1898. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit the following report of this Board for the year ended 31st December last. Board.—The members who retired on the 31st March last were Mr. Fitzherbert, Mr. Young, and the Eev. J. Paterson. The election to fill the vacancies thereby constituted resulted in the return of two retiring members, Mr. Young and the Eev. J. Paterson, and the election of Mr. A. W. Hogg, M.H.E. Mr. Fitzherbert did not offer himself for election. The Board, therefore, consisted of Messrs. J. E. Blair, W. C. Buchanan, M.H.E., F. Bradey, A. W. Hogg, M.H.E., W. W. McCardle, J. Eobertson, J. Young, Dr. Newman, and the Eev. J. Paterson. During the year the Board has held twelve regular meetings and one adjourned meeting; the attendance of the different members being: J. E. Blair, 11; W. C. Buchanan, 10; F. Bradey, 12; W. A. Fitzherbert, 1 (retired 31st March); A. W. Hogg, 9 (elected in April); W. W. McCardle, 10; Dr. Newman, 1 (absent from the colony during most of the year); Eev. J. Paterson, 9; J. Eobertson, 12 ; and J. Young, 12. The Finance Committee has met regularly each month previous to the meeting of the Board, when the accounts have been carefully examined previous to submission to the Board for authority for the expenditure required. The Committee appointed to deal with all matters affecting the Technical School have generally met previous to each Board meeting, and have done their utmost, on all occasions, to advance the welfare of that institution. Schools. —At the close of the year there were 131 schools under the control of the Board, of which number fifteen were carried on with the help of the special grant in aid given to enable advantage to be taken of the existing system of education in sparsely populated centres where the attendance would not justify the Board in providing school buildings. The classification of the schools on the basis of average attendance shows that eighteen had an average of less than 15 pupils ; fourteen, of between 15 and 20 pupils; fifteen, of between 20 and 25 pupils ; thirty-four, of between 25 and 50 pupils; fifteen, of between 50 and 75 pupils; seven, of between 75 and 100 pupils; nine, of between 100 and 150 pupils; eight, of between 150 and 300 pupils; four, of between 300 and 500 pupils; and seven over 500 pupils. New schools were opened at Hukanui, Wairere, Tane, Makairo Village Settlement, Konini, Pongaroa, Mikimiki, Bush Gully, Takapu, and Worser's Bay.

69

E. 1

Teachers.—The classification of teachers in the Board's service, according to the usual table, gives : Head of school—sl males, 11 females; sole teacher—lB males, 51 females ; assistant—3o males, 59 females; pupil-teachers—2o males, 151 females : total, 119 males, 272 females. Sewingteachers, 9. Attendance.—At the close of the year there were 14,031 children on the books of the different 5ch0015—7,256 males and 6,775 females; an increase of 159 males and 279 females as compared with last year. The working average for the different quarters was: 11,692 in March, 11,839 in June, 11,818 in September, and 11,785 in December. Buildings.—The Board has been seriously hampered in its efforts to meet the demands of the rapidly increasing population in the City, and in the new settlements springing up in the Pahiatua and Wairarapa North Counties. A very large portion of the annual building grant is needed to keep pace with the growing population. Many of the schools have had to be enlarged, and there can be no doubt that increased accommodation will have to be provided in many of the special-settlement centres; while the yearly needs for maintenance of existing buildings in no way decrease. The principal items of expenditure for the past year are for new schools at Makairo, Pongaroa, Coonoor, Mangahao, Scarborough, Makuri, Mangamahoe, Kaiparoro, Wairere, Dreyers Eock, Mikimiki, Greytown, Kahautara, Tauherenikau, Taita (to replace the old school which was burnt), Worser's Bay, Hukanui, and Tane, and in the purchase of a site for a school at Eoseneath. Considerable improvements have been made to the schools at Ngaturi, Tiraumea, Waikanae, Eikiorangi, Ohariu, Terrace, Mount Cook Boys', and Mitchelltown, and additions have been provided at Ballance, Taueru, Nireaha, Hastwell, and Levin. The Opaki School and residence had to be removed to a more central position near the railway-station. The total expenditure amounted to £6,505 ss. Bd., made up as follows : New buildings, £3,101 Bs. 2d.; improvements of buildings, £2,445 10s. sd. ; furniture and appliances, £520 45.; sites, £205 16s. Bd.; plans, supervision, and fees, £232 6s. sd. In addition to which contracts were let for several works, the payments for which will be made during the first months of the current year. The payment of the balance due to the contractors for the erection of the Board's office and Technical School will relieve the Board of the amount which has had to be provided annually to meet the charge for interest on account of this contract. In addition to the grant for school buildings, amounting to £5,300, the Board received special grants of £360 for schools in new districts, £200 for schools in farm settlements, and the sum of £131 14s. 6d. on account of the sale of the old school property at Petone, and sale of timber on education reserve. Maori Children.—The number of Maori and half-caste children attending the schools were : Maori—s6 males, 46 females; half-castes living as members of a Native tribe—l 2 males, 10 females; half-castes living among Europeans—2B males, 19 females. In twenty one schools there were Maori or half-caste children on the rolls. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December last. Of the thirty-four senior pupil-teachers who presented themselves three failed to obtain higher classification. Of the junior, eleven out of thirty-eight failed to obtain promotion. There are now 172 pupil-teachers in the Board's service, sixty-two of whom have passed all their examinations, and are classed as ex-pupil-teachers; fifteen are in the fifth year, thirty-one in the fourth year, seventeen in the third year, twenty-one in the second year, and twenty-six in the first year. Scholarships.—For the purpose of having a more equitable competition for the scholarships among the different schools, the Board decided to distribute the special grant into classes according to the average attendance of the schools. It was felt that pupils from the smaller schools were placed at a disadvantage when competing with those in the larger schools, whose teachers of the higher standards were not called upon to devote so much of their time to other work of the school, and more especially in those schools where the teachers have been able to devote a large amount of special attention to scholarship work. With a view to equalization of the claims of the different schools, the following was the basis agreed upon as best calculated to bring about the desired result: (1.) Twelve scholarships of the annual value of £15, open to all children attending schools within the City of Wellington; (2) three scholarships of the annual value of £35, open to all children attending schools beyond the boundaries of the City of Wellington, where the average, for the quarter preceding the date of the examination, shall exceed 200; (3) two scholarships of the annual value of £35, open to all children attending schools where the average attendance for the quarter preceding the date of examination shall exceed 100 and not exceed 200 ; (4) three scholarships of the annual value of £35, open to all children attending schools where the average attendance for the quarter preceding the date of the examination shall not exceed 100. Should any winner of a scholarship under clauses (2), (3), or (4), be able to reach the College or the Girls' High School by daily train or coach, or if such winner reside within a radius of four miles from the Post Office, or in Vogeltown or Kilbirnie, the scholarship shall be of the annual value of £15, with an allowance to cover train or coach fares. The result of the first examination held under these conditions fully bears out the justice of the arrangement. The total number of candidates in all classes was 166, representing forty-four schools, distributed as follows: For the twelve scholarships in Class A, ninety-five candidates from eight schools presented themselves for examination, and of these thirty-nine obtained half marks in English and arithmetic. For the three scholarships in Class B, there were thirty-two candidates, from six schools, and of these fourteen obtained half marks in English and arithmetic. For the two scholarships in Class C, there were only seven candidates, from three schools. For the three scholarships in Class D, there were thirty-two candidates, from nineteen schools. Of these, fifteen qualified for a place. Of the total number of candidates in all classes, seventy-five obtained the necessary number of marks in English and arithmetic to qualify for a place on the list. The work done is highly spoken of by the examiners in their report.

Truancy.—The appointment of a truant officer, and the energetic and satisfactory manner in which Mr. Varnham has carried out his duties, has resulted in a marked improvement in the attendance of the children. Absentees and irregular attenders are now promptly looked up, and means taken to insure their attendance at school. It was found necessary-to take legal proceedings under the School Attendance Act in only fourteen instances. As a matter of fact, it has often been difficult to find room in the city schools for a large number of children who have been brought within the reach of education through the efforts of the truant officer. The cordial co-operation of School Committees has materially assisted the Board in its administration of the provisions of the School Attendance Act. School Districts.—By the constitution of new school districts at Mikimiki, Tane, Eoseneath, and Worser's Bay, the number has been increased to 105. Technical School.—The director of the Technical School, in his annual report, deals exhaustively with this branch of the education system. The year's work fully maintains its former excellent standard, and clearly shows that the school is well able to hold its own in competition with kindred institutions at the South Kensington examinations. Singing.—The Board has decided to have an annual examination of teachers in music, on the lines of the English certificate examination, on the tonic sol-fa and staff notations. Those who have regularly attended the Saturday classes desire to have some certificate of their fitness to give class instruction in this subject. These classes have been held by Mr. Parker on Saturday mornings, every fourth Saturday being set apart for instruction at Masterton, where the teachers from the country schools are able to attend. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. E. Blair, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, 31st January, 1898. I have the honour to forward the following report of the proceedings of the Hawke's Bay Education Board for the year 1897.

Schools.—Four new schools have been opened during 1897, viz.: Wakfetrara, Western Spit, Pohui, and Waimate Valley. The last two are aided schools, in which the parents have to provide the buildings and guarantee a salary of £80 a year, while the Board furnishes the apparatus, and gives a capitation allowance of £4 10s. per head per annum on average attendance. Two new schools, with residences, will be opened shortly at Whetekura and Elsthorpe, two special settlements recently established. Towards the cost of these two school buildings the Government granted, from funds set apart by Parliament for this purpose, the sum of £110, while the Board paid from its ordinary funds the sum of £933. In addition to these buildings, a teacher's residence has been erected at Takapau and Wairoa, and additions have been made to the following schools :_ Te Arai, Wairoa, Weber, Ormondville, and Porangahau ; also, alterations have been carried out in Hampden and Woodville. School Committees.—As in former years, the relations between the Board and the School Committees have been of the most cordial character. There have been no complaints of any importance during the year from the School Committees to the Board; while the Board has duly considered every request made by the Committees, and, as far as necessity called for and the Board funds allowed, have carried out their requests. It is with special gratification that the Board calls attention to the care taken of the school buildings by many of the Committees during the recent bush fires. It was entirely owing to their exertions that serious loss has not occurred. Scholarships.—ln the year 1897 there were forty-two scholarship holders from the public schools attending the Napier High Schools and the Gisborne District High School. Four of the scholarships were of the value of £50 per annum each, nine of £30 45., eight of £12 45., and twenty-one of £10 4s. The sum allowed, is dependent on the place of the pupil's residence. The larger sums are given to children from the country districts. The whole sum expended was £783 12s. A portion of this amount is provided by the School Commissioners. Very few of the scholarship holders have surrendered their scholarships during the year as compared with former years. This may be accounted for by the fact that fewer eligible openings have presented themselves than formerly for the pupils. Sewing.—The Board has much pleasure in reporting that sewing has been very carefully taught in all the schools during the year. The ladies of the district, who have for many years given their time and attention to this branch of school work, have reported most favourably on the results for the year. The examination by these ladies has the advantage of stirring up a healthy rivalry among both pupils and teachers. Technical Education.—Nothing has been done in this direction during the past year, chiefly because the Board has had no funds for the purpose. The Board has provided £1,430 17s. Id. out of the school fund for school buildings and repairs, and has considered such claims to have a prior claim, as without this contribution the schools started in the out-districts could not have been provided for. As settlement progresses, the claims for small isolated districts increase, and are a rowing charge on the school fund. Pupil-teachers.—The reversion to the old regulations has been found to work satisfactorily. It is worthy of note that a number of third- and fourth-year pupil-teachers, and even a few secondyear, have gone up for certificate examination, and in most cases have obtained their certificates or a partial pass. The account of the Board's income and expenditure for the year, duly audited by the Government Auditor, is appended hereto. The amount paid for teachers' salaries, bonuses on results, and instruction of pupil-teachers, was £20,061 ss. 3d. ; the amount paid to School Committees, £2,221 Bs. 5d.; and the amount expended on school buildings, repairs, &c, £3,549 15s. sd. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. D. Ormond, Chairman.

MAELBOEOUGH. Sir,— Blenheim, March, 1898. I have the honour to forward the following report of the proceedings of the Marlborough Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1897. At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following persons: The Hon. William Douglas Hall Baillie, M.L.C., Thomas Lindsay Buick, Thomas Carter, John Clervaux Chaytor, John Duncan, Charles Houghton Mills, M.H.E., William Benoni Parker, Joseph Henry Eedwood, and Arthur Penrose Seymour. The members retiring by rotation in March were Messrs. Duncan, Chaytor, and W. B. Parker. Messrs. Duncan and Chaytor were re-elected, and Mr. Eichard McCallum was elected in place of Mr. Parker, who did not offer himself for re-election. An extraordinary vacancy caused by the absence of Mr. T. L. Buick, for three months, was filled by the election of Mr. Harry Fleetwood Thompson. Twelve meetings were held during the year, and the average attendance of members was 5-7. The individual attendance was as follows: Hon. Captain Baillie, 4; Mr. Carter, 11; Mr. Chaytor, 5 ; Mr. Duncan, 11; Mr. McCallum, 8; Mr. Mills, 6 ; Mr. Eedwood, 9 ; Mr. Seymour, 8; Mr. Thompson, 6. Schools.—Sixty-four schools have been in operation during the year, an increase of four since last report. All but twenty-one of these are either small aided schools or household schools, principally the latter. The absolute necessity for the existence of these schools can be readily understood by those who have visited and explored the Sounds County. It may be sufficient here to say that scattered round a coast-line of about five hundred miles inside the heads of Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds there are twenty-eight schools, communication with which is only possible by water, and generally in open boats, and even this is liable to constant interruption through violent or contrary winds; and it frequently happens that the inspection and examination of these schools are thus interrupted or entirely prevented. This year several schools were not examined, through being unable to reach the appointed rendezvous. The average weekly roll-number for the year was 2,182, and the working average attendance was 1,819, or about 83 per cent. Thus, although the average roll is nearly 73 less than last year, the working average is only 13 less, so that the percentage of attendance is slightly higher. This percentage was exceeded last year in only four of the Education Districts. The Board has tried the effect of employing truant officers in several of the larger school districts, but the result does not seem to justify a continuation of this effort to secure a fuller attendance. It may be supposed that as Marlborough occupies the fifth place as regards regularity of attendance there is not much ground for complaint on this score ; but it may be noted that at twenty-three of the small aided schools the attendance as shown by the quarterly returns is absolutely perfect—the irregularity being chiefly noticeable in the larger schools. The attendance has been considerably affected by the prevalence of epidemics, which have necessitated the temporary closing of some of the schools. Buildings.—The new buildings at Eenwick, Omaka, and Blind Eiver, contracts for which were let at the beginning of the year, have been finished, supplied with furniture, and the sites have been securely fenced. A new school has been built at the Grove to replace a very old and dangerously dilapidated building—one of the earliest buildings in the district. The Board's expenditure on Building Account during the year has amounted to £1,603 Bs. 3d., of which amount £1,047 Is. 6d. was on account of the new buildings named above. Eepairs and improvements absorbed £283 lis. 4d.; fencing new sites at Omaka, Blind Eiver, and Eenwick, and renewal of fencing on others, £133 19s: Id.; addition to furniture and appliances, £82 16s. lOd.; plans and supervision of works, £55 19s. 6d. This expenditure left the Building Account in debt to the General Account to the extent of £1,406 14s. Bd., thus reducing the general balance to the small sum of £35 15s. 2d. The long-contemplated building of a teacher's residence at Springlands can be no longer postponed, as a new head-teacher has been appointed, to whom rent-allowance must be paid until a residence is provided. Several old schools in the district will require to be painted during the coming year to preserve them from decay ; and a small new school will also be required at Mahau Sound. The amount, therefore, of £875 allotted to this district out of the building vote for the (now) current financial year, will still leave the Building Account in debt to the General Account to the extent of £531, without making any provision'for the inevitable expenditure of the current year. Scholarships.—ln consequence of the repeated appeals to the Government for some adequate provision for secondary education in Marlborough having proved unavailing, the Board applied to the School Commissioners for assistance from the fund accruing from secondary reserves. The Commissioners responded to this application by undertaking to assist the Board to establish another scholarship annually for five years, by which time the funds at their disposal will be practically exhausted. The new scholarship has been named the " Eecord Eeign Scholarship," and at the suggestion of the Commissioners the upward limit of age for competitors has been fixed at fifteen years. The annual value is the same as that of the other Boards' scholarships, namely, £40 per annum. Of this amount £32 will be provided by the Commissioners, and £8 by the Board out of the statutory grant of Is. 6d. per head of average attendance. The annual value of these scholarships is fixed at £40, as owing to the absence of any secondary school in Marlborough the holders have to attend at Nelson College, the governors of which institution remit the tuition fees in such cases. Shorthand. —The Board has resolved to introduce the teaching of shorthand, under the provisions of " The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1895," and the preliminary steps are now being taken with this object in view. The name of the proposed teacher will shortly be submitted for your approval. School Districts. —The number of school districts within this Education District remains the same. In two cases—the largest and the smallest.in point of population—the householders refused or neglected to elect Committees, and the Board appointed Commissioners as required by the Act.

The Board is pleased to report that its relations with the several Committees throughout the year have been of the most amicable nature, and desires to express its appreciation of the valuable service rendered by the Committees in the cause of education within the district. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. A. P. Seymour, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib,— Education Office, Nelson, 28th March, 1898. 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 1897. Members op the Board. —At the beginning of the year 1897 the Board was composed of the following persons, viz.: Messrs. Geo. Talbot, Wm. Norris Franklyn, Wm. Henry Phillips, junr., Geo. Bell Sinclair, Wm. Lock, Philip Best, Andrew Thos. Maginnity, James Colvin, and Eichmond Hur'sthouse. At the annual election in March, the retiring members, Messrs. Best, Lock, and Phillips, were re-elected. In July, Mr. Hursthouse resigned his seat on the Board, finding that other duties prevented his regular attendance at its meetings, and the seat of Mr. G. B. Sinclair was declared'vacant by reason of his continued absence from the Board's meetings without leave. At the election held to fill these vacancies, Messrs. Thos. John Baigent and John Deidrich Beuke were elected. During the year the Board has held twelve monthly, fifteen adjourned, and two special meetings; the average attendance at each meeting being 6-10. Schools.—At the end of the year 116 schools were at work, seventy-nine of them being in school districts, and thirty-seven aided and household schools outside the boundaries of school districts. New schools have been opened at Hope Valley, Sandy Cove, Wratten's, Ligar Bay, Scott's, and Gibbs Town, while schools at Cable Bay and Waiwero have been discontinued, leaving a net increase of four for the year. , . • , . School Districts. —One new school district has been constituted, viz., Anatoki, making, with those previously in existence, a total of sixty school districts in the Education District of Nelson. Attendance op Scholars —The number of children on the rolls of the schools under the jurisdiction of the Board was, at the end of the year 1897, 5,943, the strict average attendance being 4,800, and the working average attendance 4,904. The corresponding numbers at the end of the previous year were :On roll, 6,004 ; strict average attendance, 4,873; and working average attendance, 4,969; showing a slight decrease for the last quarter of the year. . Teaching Staff. —At the close of the year there were 64 male and 133 female teachers on the staff, making a total of 197 of all grades, being an increase of nine (three male and six female) teachers over the previous year. Buildings.—During the year the Board has removed and practically rebuilt the school and teacher's house at Capleston, has erected new schools at Will's Eoad and Gibbs Town, enlarged the Lower Moutere School, and also the teachers' houses at Eeefton and Lower Wakefield. _ The works at Capleston have been a great drain on the building fund, and the Board is still of opinion that it is entitled to have the amount expended thereon refunded by the Government. Proposed District High School for Westport.—ln June last the Westport School Committee renewed their application for the establishment of a District High School there, which was favourably entertained by the Board. A committee was appointed to visit Westport, to confer with the School Committee and make inquiries on the spot as to the needs of the district m the matter of higher education. The committee's report being entirely favourable, a scheme was drawn up, 10— E. 1,

which, after being approved by the Westport School Committee, was forwarded to the department, with the request that the Board might be permitted to. constitute the Boys' School at Westport a District High School. Central School Site.—The sum of £1,300 is still owing on this property, and it is again urged that, as it is quite impossible for the Board, out of its small annual grants, to meet this liability, a special grant might reasonably be made by the Government for the purpose. Board's Funds. —The amount to credit of the Board's General Account at the beginning of the year was £965 3s. 7d., and at its close £1,136 15s. 7d. At the beginning of the year the balance to credit of Building Account was £299 12s. 7d., with liabilities £368 18s. 6d. At the end of the year the credit balance was £831 Bs. 2d., while the liabilities were £1,060 10s. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. • Geo. Talbot, Chairman.

GEEY. Sib, — Education Office, Greymouth, 3.lst March, 1898. 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 the 31st December, 1897 : — The Board. —The membership of the Board has again suffered no change, the retiring members, Messrs. Kerr, Kettle, and White, being re-elected in March. At the first meeting held in April Mr. Eichard Nancarrow and Mr. Eobert Kettle were re-elected Chairman and Treasurer respectively. During the year the Board held eleven ordinary meetings and one special meeting, and the attendance of members was as follows : Mr. Petrie, 12 ; Mr. Kettle, 11; Mr. Byrne, 11; Mr. Harris, 11; Mr. Marshall, 11; Mr. Nancarrow, 10 ; Mr. White, 10 ; Mr. McGuire, 9 ; Mr. Kerr, 7. The Hon. Mr. Kerr was absent on leave for three months attending to his parliamentary duties. Schools. —There were twenty-nine schools in operation at the close of the year, being an increase of one on the previous year. The teachers in the employ of the Board comprised eighteen males and forty-four females, or a total of sixty-two. These were classified as follows: Principal teacher, 1 ; head of department, 1; head of school, 9 males and 3 females ; sole teacher, 2 males and 14 females ; assistants, 3 males and 13 females ; pupil-teachers, 3 males and 13 females. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December. Eight pupil-teachers were examined, all of whom qualified for a higher grade. Scholarships.—The annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held in December. For the four scholarships, two town and two country, there were sixteen competitors—five from the Greymouth and Cobden Schools, and eleven from the country. Florence McMillan and George Anderson, of the Greymouth District High School, won the first and second town scholarships, and Tasman Turner and Isabella Coulthard, of the Moonlight and Taylorville Schools respectively, won the first and second country scholarships. Finance. —At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a debit balance of £334 14s. 4d. The amount expended during the year was £946 os. Id. The Board's General Account at the close of the year was also in an unsatisfactory position, the debit balance being £179 2s. 3d. This was owing in a great measure to the bad attendance during the year, and to the increased cost of maintaining many of the small schools in sparsely populated districts. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eichard Nancarrow, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir, — I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1897. The membership of the Board has again suffered no change, the retiring members, Messrs. Grimmond, Staines, and Cumming, being re-elected in March. At the first meeting in April the following re-appointments were made: Mr. McWhirter, Chairman; Mr. Chesney, Treasurer; Mr. Michel, representative on the Hokitika High School Board ; Mr. Grimmond, School Commissioner. During the year the Board has held twelve meetings, and the attendance of members was as follows : Mr. A. Cumming, 12 ; Mr. J. McWhirter, 11 ; Mr. J. Chesney, 11; Mr. E. Stennard, 11 ; Mr. J. L. Smith, 9; Mr. J. Staines, 9 ; Mr. H. L. Michel, 8; Mr. J. E. Hudson, 7 ; Mr. J. Grimmond, 3. Schools. —During the year thirt3 7 -five schools have been open. Of the twenty-two aided schools (having an average attendance below twenty) two are half-time. The Upper and Lower Otira Schools, owing to the increasd attendance in the latter, have been promoted to full time schools, a new building being erected for the larger school. A new household school has been established at Waiatoto. The classes devoted to secondary education in connection with the Hokitika and Kumara District High Schools presented at the Board's examination twenty-six and eleven scholars respectively, and the Inspector reports very favourably of the work done in each class. The temporary establishment of the Kumara District High School has been continued until the end of the year 1898. In July a class for manual instruction was established in connection with the Kumara School under the direction of the local School Committee. The number of pupils attending is thirty-five, and the course followed is that fixed by the Education Department. A special grant from the Minister of Education provided for a separate building, and the necessary timber and tools have been supplied by local effort. As the feasibility of initiating such instruction has thus been amply demonstrated, it is the hope of the Board that, in connection with other schools, advantage will be taken of the opportunity provided by the Act recently passed to bring this important branch of education within the reach of the scholars attending. Attendance. —The total roll number for the district on the 31st December was 1,462, a decrease of seventy-nine from that of the previous year. The average attendance for the year was 85-3 per cent, of the average roll-number. While this general result is satisfactory, there is need in several cases for the active interference of the local authorities for the purpose of securing more regular attendance. Teachers. —The number of teachers under the Board at the end of the year was sixty-three, including eleven head-teachers, twenty-three sole teachers, fourteen assistants, thirteen pupilteachers, one monitor, and one sewing-mistress. With the exception of the pupil-teachers and one assistant, all teachers in schools with an average attendance above fifteen possess certificates. Scholarships.—At the examination of candidates for scholarships a larger number (29) than usual presented themselves. Five scholarships of £8 each and one of £10, tenable for two years, have been granted. The number of Board's scholars will be increased from eight in 1897 to ten in 1898. Finance. —At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a credit balance of £9 os. 9d., but liabilities exist of £60. The amount expended during the year was £710 ss. 6d. In the Board's General Account the credit balance has increased to £81 18s. 7d. Owing to the ecrease in the attendance of scholars in the district the amount saved is not as satisfactory as the Board desires, in view of the reductions in teacher's salaries still in force. It is very evident that,

E.—l

76

owing to the large proportion of aided schools, this Board, and other Boards in charge of similar districts, are under a great disadvantage when endeavouring to make provision in the schools for adequate staffs and salaries. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. John McWhirter, Chairman.

REPORTS ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Hokitika. During the examination there were present twenty-six pupils. Three were absent part of the time attending the matriculation examination. Consequently the pupils of the third and fourth years were tested briefly on the first day in the more important subjects, with very satisfactory results. The seven pupils of the second year had received instruction in all the compulsory subjects, and six obtained satisfactory marks, the following securing over 75 per cent, of the total: M. Houston, 88-3 per cent.; E. Benton, 85-3 per cent.; G. Shaw, 85-1 per cent. D. Sullivan, 778 per cent. Of the junior division three pupils have joined only recently, and their marks have not been recorded. Of the twelve remaining, four omitted Latin at the request of the parents. Each pupil obtained satisfactory marks, and of those taking the full course the following secured 75 per cent, of the total: D. Schramm, 84-6 per cent. ;L. Michel, 82-4 per cent. ; Edith Clarke, 75-6 per cent. The various subjects have throughout the class received even and thorough treatment; in none did more than two scholars show weakness; and in English and algebra none were deficient. In addition, the course set was prepared efficiently by one pupil in French, and by the large majority of the class in chemistry. The duties of the Eector have been further increased by the preparation of a fourth-year pupil for the University scholarship examination. It will be seen that while the work of the teacher has been very exacting, owing to the number attending and the extent of the course of studies, the year's work of the class has again been brought to a very satisfactory conclusion. A. J. Morton, Inspector. Kumara. This class was formed in August, 1896, and, with the exception of one, the pupils commenced work in secondary subjects since that date. Two pupils, A. Owens and E. Stark, who required to attend the matriculation examination were tested more briefly on the first day. Both secured high marks (over 90 per cent.) in Latin and were very successful in other subjects, in which marks were not recorded in their case. Of the remaining nine pupils two were weak, obtaining an average percentage below 50. The remainder obtained satisfactory results, and the following have secured a good position. The marks of the first on the list are exceptionally good, and there is every reason to suppose that the two already mentioned would have secured equally good results : E. Mcintosh, 93-6 per cent. ; W. Lamason, 86 per cent.; G. Andrews, 85-3 per cent.; M. Jamieson, 83-6 per cent. The instruction in the subjects of the course has been given by the head master and the first assistant master: to the former being allotted Euclid, algebra, arithmetic, and geography; and to the latter, English, Latin, and chemistry, with French in the case of one pupil. With the exception

X— l

77

of one scholar, who omitted Euclid, all the pupils have taken a full course of seven subjects, in each of which the majority secured good marks, although the amount attempted by two pupils in Latin, and all but four in Euclid and algebra, was that of a two years' course. Both in amount and preparation the work done is especially commendable in Euclid, algebra, Latin, and English. A. J. Morton, Inspector.

NOETH CANTEEBUEY. Sir,— Christchurch, 9th March, 1898. 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, 1897 : — The Board.'—The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March were the Hon. Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Munnings, and Mr. Eennie. At a meeting on the 17th March the Board presented the Hon. Mr. Montgomery, who did not offer himself for re-election, with an address expressing its sincere regret at the loss sustained by his retirement from a position so long and so ably filled, as well as its high appreciation of the very valuable services rendered by him in the cause of education. Mr. Eennie, Mr. D. Buddo, and Mr. Munnings were returned to fill the three ordinary vacancies. On the 30th June, Mr. C. A. C. Hardy was elected to fill the extraordinary vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Sawle, which took place towards the end of April. During 1897 the Board held seventeen ordinary meetings and one special meeting, whilst the Buildings Committee met nineteen times, including one special meeting, the Appointments Committee fortytwo times, and the Normal School Committee nine times ; making in all eighty-eight meetings for the year. The Board's Eepresentatives.—At a meeting on the 24th February Mr. A. Orr and Mr. D. Williamson were re-elected as members of the Ashburton High School Board, and Mr. A. I. McGregor and Mr. W. Harrison were subsequently appointed members of the Akaroa and Eangiora High School Boards respectively. Mr. H. E. Webb continued to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Eeserves. School Districts.—At the commencement of the year the localities lying around Overdale and Eabbit Island were formed into separate school districts ; and in August a new school district was established at Highbank, where the Government had previously set apart a school site. In December the formation of a new district for the Springston South locality was resolved upon. The number of school districts at the end of the year was 174 ; but in three of these—viz., Charteris Bay, Gebbie's Valley, and Pendarves —school work continued to remain in suspension. Schools and School Buildings.—During the year new schools were built at Allenton, Highbank, and Springston South, and additions made to the schools at Mayfield, Porter's Pass, and Hampstead, and to teachers' houses at Spreydon, Hampstead, and Tai Tapu. The number of schools in operation at the close of the year, including the practising department at the Normal School, was 200, of which sixteen were aided schools. Schools.of the latter type were opened at Awaroa, Ellesmere, Happy Valley, and Okuku, but in September the one at Happy Valley was closed owing to insufficient support. In March the school at Lismore, which had been closed for several weeks, was re-opened as an aided school, and in November a similar course was decided upon with regard to to the school at Port Levy, where the number of children attending was also not sufficient to warrant the Board in employing a teacher at the minimum salary fixed by the regulations. During 1897 a very heavy outlay was caused in connection with the re-roofing, painting, or repairing of school buildings at Glentunnel, Eyreton, St. Albans, Amberley, Kyle, Little Akaloa (main), Christchurch West, Sydenham, Papanui, Eakaia, Little Dunsandel, Southbridge, Mandeville Plains, Kowai Pass, Eichmond, Eiccarton, Yaldhurst, Belfast (main), Elgin, Southbrook, Wakanui (main), and Cust; whilst on many others where the need of repairs demanded the Board's prompt attention, amounts varying from a few pounds and upwards were expended. Towards the close of the year a new school at Hinds, teachers' houses at Burwood and Waltham, and addition to house at Dromore, were in course of erection, and a large number of works authorised, including additions to schools at New Brighton and Mackenzie, and extensive improvements at Eangiora. The need of houses in a number of country districts is badly felt, and in this direction alone, if due regard for the comfort and well-being of its teachers is to be shown, the Board is bound to incur a large expenditure in the immediate future. The total expenditure on buildings in 1897 was £7,857 17s. lid. Maintenance. —The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances during the year reached £55,736 4s. 3d., and the grants to School Committees with other incidental expenses, £7,032 13s. lid., making a total of £62,768 18s. 2d. The working average for the year was 17,893, but the average for the four quarters, commencing with the December quarter of 1896, on which payments were actually made, was 17,950. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore £3 2s. ljd., and the total cost of maintenance, including all incidental expenditure, exactly £3 9s. 11-J-d. per head. The following table shows the expenditure in salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878, inclusive [not all reprinted] : — Year. Salaries. Incidentals.

The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year (exclusive of thirtysix sewing mistresses) was 535—viz., heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge, 149 males, 82 females; assistants, 35 males, 133 females. There were 136 pupil-teachers, 38 males and 98 females. A comparison of these figures with those of the previous year shows an increase of seven in the number of certificated teachers, and a reduction of nine as regards pupil-teachers. Pupil-teachers' Examination. —The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held on the 20th December, and following days. Of the 126 who presented themselves for examination, 114 passed and 12 failed. The following table gives the total number of children on the rolls, the number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance at the close of each year since the Education Act came into force [not all reprinted]:— Quarter ended District Aided Total of On Roll Average p. rr , ra , R „.

Inspection.—The Inspectors' report for the year has been forwarded. In addition to the usual statistical information, reference is made to several subjects of instruction. In reading, both as regards its treatment as a pass subject and in point of comprehension, an improvement is noted. With regard to arithmetic, it is satisfactory to know that the want of uniformity in the tests supplied by the department—a matter which last year formed the subject of some unfavourable comment — has almost disappeared. It is, however, not so reassuring to learn that, so far as the two highest standards are concerned, this subject has not been well done in quite a number of schools, and that sums of a similar type to those worked throughout the year have proved to be stumblingblocks. In view of the generally unsatisfactory progress made in grammar, as indicated in the examination reports, the Board requested its Inspectors to consider and report upon the matter. In their memorandum, already forwarded to the department, the Inspectors state that " The remedy is to be found, we think, in the re-union of grammar and composition as a subject in which individual proficiency is to be regarded as a condition of promotion, but the contemplated re-union should recognise, as the older syllabus did not, the strictly subordinate position of the first member of the partnership, and the programme of work proscribed in it should be so adjusted as to retain only those features which have the most intimate bearing on the teaching of composition. ... At the same time we are much opposed to any increase in the subjects of individual attainment of which the Inspector will expect evidence at the several stages of progress. Our views, on the contrary, are in favour of a reduction, and we cannot see how a reduction could be better made than by allowing geography as a whole to take the place of grammar among subjects of the class group." During the year the Inspectors drew attention to the omission of "Drill and exercises" from the subjects of instruction at several schools, and a circular has since been issued notifying the teachers concerned that the Board requires that this subject shall be included. In very small schools, with one teacher in charge, and where, perhaps, the infant department is strongly represented, beyond attention to the movements in connection with opening and dismissing school, full treatment of this subject can hardly be looked for ; but from schools having not less than two teachers the Board will expect it to be thoroughly and efficiently dealt with. Normal School.—The number of students admitted during the year was thirty-seven, twelve males and twenty-five females. In his report, which is appended, the Principal gives full information with regard to the work of the training department. The only change to record in the staff is the retirement of Mr. W. A. Eobinson, 8.A., from the position of part-time lecturer. During his engagement Mr. Eobinson discharged his duties with ability and zeal, and general regret was expressed when it became known that the Board would be unable to secure his services for a further period. At the close of the year, with the view of completing the necessary arrangements for 1898, the vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. F. J. Wilkes, 8.A., to whom the responsibility of lecturing on several subjects has now been entrusted. Scholarships.—At its meeting on the 21st July, after referring the matter to the Appointments Committee, who carefully considered the proposed alterations, the Board adopted- new regulations for scholarships. The chief changes were (1) the throwing open of the senior class to all children who have made the required attendance at a primary school, but restricting the competition to those who have not attended a secondary school for a longer period than two years; (2) altering the condition of attendance from one to two years. The annual examinations took place on the 20th December and following days. The number of competitors in the junior class was 133 (seventy-four boys and fifty-nine girls), being forty-three less than in 1896. This reduction was no doubt due to the fact that the Board had previously drawn the attention of Committees and headteachers to the Inspectors' remarks upon the advisableness of more discretion being used in sending up only those children who might be considered fairly prepared in the subjects of examination. For the senior class there were twenty-five entries, sixteen from boys and nine from girls, an increase of six compared with the previous year. Of the 133 competitors for junior scholarships, sixty-six entered from schools defined by the regulations as town schools, and sixty-seven from country schools. Four were won by candidates from schools of the former class, and eight by

79

E.—l

children attending country schools, but of the latter three did not require to take advantage of th additional year conceded by the Board's regulations. . The two " Gammack " scholarships offered by the Board at the close of 1896, on the results of the University Junior Scholarship Examination, were awarded to Mr. M. C. Keane and Mr. R. E. Hall. Mr. Keane, who distinguished himself by securing first place on the list for the whole of New Zealand, went through his primary course at Kowai Pass, from which school he gained one of the Board's junior scholarships in 1890, and was thus enabled to continue a scholastic career of great promise. Mr. Hall, also closely identified with one of the Board's schools (Sydenham), and an old scholarship winner, came out second among the candidates who gained credit. School - books. —The subject of school - books occupied the Board's attention on several occasions during the year, the necessity of making a change being generally recognised, since many of those prescribed for use in 1890 were long out of date. After a personal inspection of the new works submitted, and after careful consideration of the whole question, the Board decided on a fresh list, which was forwarded to Wellington for approval. So far, unfortunately, the official sanction has been withheld, which has caused much confusion and inconvenience, as many School Committees, on the strength of adoption by the Board, have authorised the purchase of the new books. The unusual delay in giving effect to the Board's application is attributable to the fact that the Minister is having the list of books for use in the whole colony revised; but as the books decided upon are in every way suitable for school use, and are also recommended by the Inspectors, the Board has represented to the Minister that authority to use them should not be withheld pending a general revision, which may take many months to complete. Jubilee Addbess.—At a meeting on the 30th June, recognising the enormous advance made in education during the last sixty years, owing in so great a measure to the many advantages that have been enjoyed under the beneficent rule of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, the Board adopted a resolution placing on record its entire sympathy with those spontaneous exhibitions of pleasure and gratitude which, on the occasion of " The Diamond Jubilee," the unequalled length of Her Majesty's reign evoked in every part of her far-reaching empire. The resolution, in the form of an illuminated address, was forwarded to the Queen through the then Acting-Governor, Sir James Prendergast, and Her Majesty has been pleased to cause her thanks to be conveyed to the Board for its expression of loyalty. Teuanct.—Early in the year, acting upon the recommendation of the Appointments Committee, to whom the matter was referred, the Board consented to engage a truant officer for the city and suburban districts, in which, from the number of children to be observed about the streets during school-hours, it felt that definite action could no longer be delayed. In adopting this course the Board has in no way accepted the entire responsibility of enforcing the provisions of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," as it considers that the duty of seeing that children within their own districts make the required attendance is one of which the School Committees will be unable to readily divest themselves. Although the appointment of Mr. Blank, who, the Board is convinced, has discharged his difficult duties in a praiseworthy manner, was made in February, it was not until the end of the following month that his work could be said to be well in hand. By the end of the year, therefore, the system had been on trial nine months. In endeavouring to ascertain what the results have been, unfortunately there are no means of knowing to what extent allowance has to be made for sickness. That the attendance during the spring and early summer months suffered very much from this cause is admitted, and probably if this important factor could have been accurately gauged and allowed for the figures recorded would have given more encouragement. For the nine months ending the 31st December, 1897, the average attendance at the eleven schools fully affected by the Truant Officer's work was 85-9 per cent, of the average weekly roll-number, whilst for the corresponding period of 1896, when the influence of the Committees and teachers was the sole persuading power, the percentage was 858 per cent. Judging from the reports submitted from time to time, there are many difficulties in the way of effectually carrying out the law ; and in this connection the Board desires to draw the Minister's attention to several defects disclosed by the practical working of the Act of 1894, in the hope that, should amendments be introduced, provision may be made for enforcing the attendance not only of those children to whom the present Act is intended to apply, but also of those who, under the existing exemptions, are allowed to absent themselves from school. As the law now stands, the onus of proving that a child is exempt is supposed to lie with the parent, but in actual practice instances have occurred where the presiding Justices of the Peace have contented themselves with accepting the parent's sworn statement that the absence from school has been due to sickness, whereas, after patient investigation, the Truant Officer had previously satisfied himself to the contrary. Again, before coming within the scope of the Act a child must have made less than six attendances in any week in the course of which the school has been open nine times, which means that unless the school has been open for four days and a half during the week the Act becomes inoperative. When it is remembered that a full week consists of five days only, and that the closing of school for one single day during the week reduces the possible weekly attendances to eight, it will be realised how often the measures taken to compel attendance must be interfered with. With regard to children over thirteen years of age, who do not at present come under the provisions of the Act, if, after leaving school, they were provided with suitable occupations there would be no serious objection to their release from school and its attendant discipline ; but when their liberty is devoted to idle wanderings in the streets, as is only too often the case, the gravest objection must be taken to the exempting clause. Unfortunately, too, " The Factories Act, 1894," in forbidding their entrance into factories till the age of fourteen has been reached, compels this class of children to pass a year in idleness before allowing them to enter upon what to so many proves to be. their life work. The following statement gives the number of cases, at their different stages, dealt with by the Truant Officer during the period mentioned : Notices delivered to parents or guardians, 1,621; sum-

monses served, 68 ; fines imposed, 50 ; orders of the Court obtained, 8 ; dismissed, 10. The fines, amounting in all to £8 Bs., have been paid over to the Committees in respect of whose schools the cases were dealt with. Manual Instruction. —In April the Board completed arrangements for manual-training classes in woodwork at the Normal School, under the instruction of Mr. F. W. Sandford, whose qualifications had been proved to the satisfaction of the Minister. For the convenience of teachers resident in the country two of the classes, all of which were out of school-hours, have been held on Saturdays, the Board having recognised the importance of affording its teachers every opportunity of qualifying themselves to give the instruction in their own schools. The entrance-fee for teachers was fixed at ss. per quarter; that for boys, 2s. 6d. If free admission were granted to the boys' classes, no doubt the novelty of the instruction would for a time attract an even larger number than has hitherto attended, but the payment of a fee, even though a small one, is some guarantee of regular attendance; and, apart from this, besides providing some of the necessary funds, it helps to weed out those who have no real liking or aptitude for the work. The Instructor reports that, taking the work as a whole, it has been very satisfactory; that all classes have shown great aptitude in the use of tools, that the work done by the teachers is very good, in many cases excellent, and that the drawing of the boys was much better than he expected to find it. In response to the hope expressed by the department, a number of teachers attending the classes are preparing themselves for the City and Guilds of London Institute examination, to be held in June next, and. for which thirty-three entries have been received. A manual-training class, under the auspices of a local committee, with Mr. Sandford as instructor, has also been formed at Leeston. This class, which opened in July, has been attended by nine teachers and two boys, who have received three hours' instruction every Saturday evening for a period extending over ten weeks during each of the two quarters. An application has been made to the department for the funds required to fit up workshop and provide the necessary tools at Ashburton, where a local committee has been formed for the purpose of establishing similar classes. The following table shows the number of teachers and boys that attended at the Normal School, with the number of classes held during each quarter :—

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. Sir, — Normal School, Christchurch, 28th February, 1898. I have the honour to report as follows on the work of the Normal School for 1897 :— We commenced the year with thirty-seven students, of whom twelve were males and twentyfive females. Of these, two withdrew during the year—one to take up missionary work abroad, and one from ill-health. At the examinations twenty-five sat for matriculation, of whom twenty-two passed ; and thirtyone sat for the departmental certificate examination (or part of it), of whom twenty-nine have passed wholly or in part. Mr. W. A. Eobinson, 8.A., B.Sc, the part-time lecturer, left us at the end of the year, and Mr. F. J. Wilkes, 8.A., was appointed to take his place. I should here like to place on record my very high appreciation of the efficiency and zeal with which Mr. Eobinson discharged his duty. With one or two exceptions, the male students attended for two quarters a class in manual training, and, as attendance at this class took up nearly the whole of one evening per week, it must of necessity have affected somewhat the preparation of other subjects. We endeavoured this year to give the female students some practical knowledge of kindergarten work ; but here again the difficulty arose of how to find time for this valuable work without detriment to the subjects required for the certificate examination. As a matter of fact, we have not time enough at our disposal to cover a thorough course of work in the many subjects necessary or advisable in the Normal School course. The Inspectors' reports on the Boys', Girls', Infants', and Model Departments show that good work has again been done, though the staff in the past year has been smaller than in recent years. I have, &c, Edwin Watkins, 8.A., The Chairman of Normal School Committee. Principal of Normal School.

SOUTH CANTEEBUEY. Sir,— Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1898. I have the honour to submit herewith the report of the Education Board for the District of South Canterbury for the year ending with the 31st day of December, 1897. Board. —At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. W. B. Howell, J.P., Chairman; John Talbot, J.P. ; John Jackson, J.P. ; Melville Gray, J.P.; Peter Keddie, J.P.; Major W. M. Moore, J.P.; W. J. Sahnond, LL.B.; the Eev. W. J. Comrie ; and the Eev. George Barclay, J.P. The three members retiring by rotation in March were Messrs. Talbot, Gray, and Moore. Six candidates were nominated by the School Committees to fill these vacancies : Messrs. Talbot, Gray, Moore, Keith, Bussell, and Manchester. Messrs. Talbot, Moore, a.nd Keith were elected. In April Mr. Salmond resigned his seat, and the following gentlemen were nominated to fill the vacancy : Messrs. In wood, Bussell, and Pielden. The election resulted in the return of Mr. Daniel Newman Inwood, J.P. Eighteen meetings of the Board were held during the year, the day of meeting for the ordinary monthly sitting 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, 7-6. 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, sixteen schools ; under 50 pupils, twenty-seven schools ; under 75 pupils, eleven schools, under 100 pupils, three schools; under 150 pupils, one school; under 300 pupils, three schools ; under 500 pupils, three schools; over 500 pupils, one school. Number of aided schools included —sixteen. There were twelve Native or half-caste scholars attending at three schools : Geraldine Flat, Eangatira Valley, and Waihao. Attendance. —The accompanying table shows the number of scholars attending the Board's schools since the year 1888 : —

The working average for the four quarters gives 4,589 against the strict average of 4,570, whilst the average roll-number for the year is 5,275, against 5,366 in 1896. 11— E. 1.

Finance.—The building grant of 1897 not having been received in time to be credited in the accounts for the year ending 31st December, 1897, the account shows a debit balance of £1,131 10s. Id., the amount due to maintenance being £1,358 19s. 10d., and credit in bank £244 18s. Bd. The Maintenance Account shows a credit of £1,131 18s. Id., being cash in bank, £893 6s. 4d.; due from aided schools, £131 17s. lOd. ; due by Building Account, £1,358 19s. lOd.; making a total of £2,384 45., from which has to be deducted £1,252 ss. lid., the amount due to reserves revenue. Buildings.—The principal operations of the Board were : Erecting additions to Fairlie, Hannaton, and Waitohi Flat, and building residences at Seadown and Waimate. Owing to the excessively dry season, the Board was put to very considerable expense in building tanks and supplying water generally to a large number of schools. The building at Adair was painted, and provided with a new tank. At Albury the residence was distempered. A grant was made to Ashwick Flat towards improving the site. A shelter-shed was erected at Burkes Pass; Claremont was provided with a filter ; Fairview was granted an underground tank, and repaired generally ; Geraldine was fitted with a water-supply ; the Hakataramea site was fenced; Hazelburn was granted a curtain to separate the school; Hook was granted the cost of repairing the fences ; Hilton was granted a new tank ; repairs were done at Kingsdown ; a wash-house built at Milford; Otaio was painted and repaired, and granted a filter ; Upper Otaio was repaired ; Pareora residence repaired and a new tank built; Pleasant Point was painted and supplied with new closets ; Pleasant Valley was fenced ; Eangitata Island had a new grate provided; Eangitata Station was repaired : a new window was put in the Eangatira Valley school; St. Andrews had its tank repaired and new closets built; the Scotsburn site was fenced. The Timaru Main School storeroom was burnt, towards which Government gave a separate grant to restore ; besides this, there were alterations made to the main building. The Timaru South site was drained ; a grant was made to Waihao in aid of the erection of a shelter-shed, and the buildings were repaired and painted; the residence at Wai-iti was repaired, and the buildings painted and fences restored ; a concrete tank was built at Waitohi Flat; the buildings at Upper Waitohi Flat were painted; new fences were erected at Waituna Creek, and the school was partitioned by a heavy curtain; the buildings at Washdyke were painted; new ceilings put in the Woodbury school ; and repairs executed at Waimataitai. Furniture and other material were supplied to a number of schools, and small grants made in aid of School Committees. The Board has to thank the School Committees generally for the interest and attention they have given to the work and welfare of education in their respective districts. Influenza, scarlet fever, and other causes of a like nature, necessitating the closing of schools temporarily, have had a marked effect upon the average attendance, and the scarcity of water may have had a very predisposing influence towards the general unhealthiness. The Board, however, can congratulate itself still on the cordial relations existing between the School Committees, the teachers, and the Board. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in the last week of June, when thirty pupil-teachers, together with eight candidates for employment, presented themselves for examination. Twenty-seven pupil-teachers passed, and three failed. All the candidates for employment passed. Nine pupil-teachers of the third and fourth year sat for certificates at the Education Department's examination ; three passed the D examination, two obtained a " partial " D, two passed the E, and two obtained a " partial" E. Eight others, whose term of apprenticeship expired during 1897, presented themselves : and of these, two passed the D examination, four the E, and two secured a full E certificate with " partial " D. District 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-one scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and eleven at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algebra. The Waimate High School Board continues its annual grant towards the teaching of the higher subjects in the Waimate District High School, and encourages attendance by awarding scholarships and exhibitions to successful pupils. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. W. B. Howell, Chairman.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, , 1898. I have the honour to submit the following report on the higher work of the District High Schools. Thirty-one scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, eleven of whom were examined in five subjects, fifteen in four subjects, and five in three subjects. Eleven scholars were examined at Teinuka : five in five subjects, four in four subjects, one in three subjects, and one in two subjects. In each school the subjects were English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algeba. The following tables show the subjects taught, the number of pupils examined, the marks gained by each class, and the amount of work done in each subject:—

Waimate District High School.

Temuka District High School.

Waimate. English. —-Ten of the papers were very good, eleven were good, six were tai and three were moderate. In viva voce work there was considerable improvement in the answering of questions on the language of the play, and, as usual, the scholars had a good knowledge of the characters and incidents.

OTAGO. Sir, — Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1898. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1897. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Messrs. Mark Cohen, John F. M. Fraser, John Macgregor, Henry Clark, Donald Borrie, Andrew McKerrow, John McEae Gallaway, John J. Eamsay, and the Eev. P. B. Fraser. Messrs. Cohen, J. F. M. Fraser, and Macgregor retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Nine candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in February resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Macgregor and Fraser, and the election of Mr. William Snow. At the first meeting of the Board in April Mr. Donald Borrie was appointed Chairman. Mr. J. F. M. Fraser and Mr. J. M. Gallaway were appointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Donald Borrie was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr. J. Green continues to represent the Board as Education Eeserves Commissioner. The Board held twenty-seven meetings during the year. Number of Schools. —At the close of 1896 there were 218 schools in operation in the district. In the course of the year schools were opened at Kokonga, Tahakopa, Kahuika, and Eomareka. The schools at Capburn and Galloway were closed, owing to the removal of the children of school age from the district. In addition to the schools opened during the year, the Board has sanctioned the establishment of schools at Sutton, Akatore Coast, Woodlands Block VII., Purakauiti, and Clydevale. At the end of the year buildings were m course of erection at Sutton, Woodlands Block VII., Purakauiti, and Clydevale. The following shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance : Under 15 pupils, twenty-six ; 15 and under 20 pupils, twenty-one ; 20 and under 25 pupils, twenty-three ; 25 and under 50 pupils, sixty-one ; 50 and under 75 pupils, thirtythree ; 75 and under 100 pupils, nineteen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, nine ; 150 and under 300 pupils, nine ; 300 and under 500 pupils, twelve; 500 and upwards, seven : total, 220. From the above it appears that nearly 32 per cent, of the whole are schools with an average attendance under twentyfive pupils. Teachers. —There were in the Board's service on the 31st December, 559 teachers, classed as under : Male head teachers, 95 ; male sole teachers, 48; female sole teachers, 78; male assistant teachers, 55; female assistant teachers, 156 ; male pupil-teachers, 28 ; female pupil teachers, 69 ; sewing teachers, 30 : total—male teachers, 226 ; female teachers, 333. The supply of both male and female teachers has been adequate for all requirements. Pupil-teachers.—There were ninety-seven pupil-teachers (twenty-eight male and sixty-nine female) in the Board's service at the end of the year. Owing to the date of the annual examination of pupil - teachers being altered from December to July, only pupil-teachers of the first class were examined during the year. Twenty-nine were examined, and twenty-eight passed the prescribed examination. In future .all pupil-teachers will be examined at midwinter. The examination of candidates for employment as pupil-teachers was held in December, when no fewer than 130 candidates (thirty-two boys and ninety-eight girls) presented themselves, Out of this number twenty-two boys and sixty-five girls passed the prescribed, tests, and ten boys and fourteen girls received appointments. The number of candidates (especially female) who are applying for admission to the ranks of the teaching profession is out of all proportion to the number of vacancies occurring. The disparity in the number of male and female candidates for employment as pupil-teachers is very noticeable. School Attendance.—The following is an abstract of the attendance at the public schools of this district, from the institution of the Otago education scheme in the year 1856 to the present time. At the beginning of 1878 the new Education District of Southland was created, and 37 schools were handed over to the newly formed Board [not all reprinted] : —

The above table shows that, compared with the attendance returns for the previous year, there was a decrease for the year of 142 pupils on the average attendance, that 508 fewer pupils attended at all during the year, and that there were 304 fewer pupils in attendance at the close of the year. Scholarships.—Twenty-three scholarships (eleven junior and twelve senior) were awarded at the December examination. In all, 159 candidates competed : thirty-nine for the senior, and 120 for the junior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, thirty-six of the junior competitors and twelve 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, £1,327 10s. ; examination expenses, £48 os.'9d. : total, £1,375 10s. 9d. There are at present fortyseven pupils receiving free education at the High Schools in Dunedin, in connection with the scholarship scheme. The scholarship holders continue to acquit themselves with credit, and during the year the quarterly reports on their conduct and progress at the schools they attended were quite satisfactory. Training College.—The report of the Principal of the Training College is appended. The attendance of students during the year was : —Eemainiug from 1896, seven females; admitted during 1897, eight males, thirty-one females; left during 1897 (left the service), one female ; on the books, December, 1897, eight males, thirty-seven females : total, forty-five. The cost of the institution for the year was: Salaries, £450 7s. 4d.; allowances to students, £571 13s. 4d.; incidentals, £16 19s. lOd.: total, £1,039 os. 6d. School op Art and Design.—The* total number of students who attended the school during the past session was 409, an increase of fifteen compared with the number for the preceding year. This total includes 103 teachers and pupil-teachers, 35 Training College students, 114 students who attended the day classes, and 157 who attended the evening classes. The fourth annual examination for the London Science and Art Department certificates was held in the month of July. The following is a summary of the results : —

Included in the science subjects above are five external students (four geometrical and one machine drawing).

The cost of the school for the year was—Salaries, £702 10s.; incidental expenses, £70 7s. 3d. : £772 17s. 3d. Less fees (£338 os. 6d.) and Government grant under Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act (£5B 10s.), £446 10s. 6d. Net cost, £326 6s. 9d. Truancy.—From the following statement an estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : Cases investigated, 629 ; notices served on parents or guardians under section 5 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," 334; summons served under section 5, 1; order of the Court obtained under section 5, 1; penalty summonses issued under section 7 (dealing with parents or guardians of children who had not attended school the number of times required by the Act), 84. Under the above eighty-four penalty summonses there were fifty-one convictions, twenty-nine cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendant of exemption certificates, and four cases were dismissed. The total of fines for the year was £6 3s. In accordance with section 7of the Act the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. To remove an impression that seems to prevail in some quarters that it is necessary for a Committee to formally appoint the Board's Truant Officer to act on its behalf, and that the Committee's sanction must be given before that officer can issue a notice or summons to a negligent parent, it may be stated that, to a Truant Officer appointed by the Board, section 9 of the Act gives power to lay informations, make complaints, conduct prosecutions, and take all other proceedings under the Act, without any express authority from the School Committee of the district. Instruction under the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act. —In addition to the classes for technical instruction in connection with the School of Art, classes have been recognised at the Tokomairiro and Balclutha Schools. These classes have been carried on during a part of the year with considerable enthusiasm and succees. The following are the reports on the classes :— Tokomairiro. —Woodwork : During the second and third quarters of the year twenty-five boys were trained to the use of tools in the workshop. Of these, six made boxes for themselves to hold clothes; six, writing-desks; two, bookcases; three, dressing-tables; one, a music canterbury; one, a chiffonier; one, an octagon table ; three, whatnots ; one, a desk with stand ; and one, fretwork shelves. To make these articles the boys paid £10 ss. lOd. for material, in addition to a fee of 2s. 6d. per quarter to the instructor for instruction, the articles made being their own property. Agricultural Chemistry: Thirteen boys of the advanced class, during the same two quarters, made quantitative analyses of two kinds of superphosphates of Maiden Island and Peruvian guano; and of two specimens of bone-meal. Examination was made specially for the determination of moisture, organic matter, phosphate of lime, carbonate of lime, sand, and insoluble matter. Balclutha. —Woodwork : Carpentry classes were held during the quarters ending June and September. For the former quarter the average attendance was 20 ; for the latter, 28-2. Owing to the number of pupils, the classes were divided into sections taken at different hours. The boys showed great earnestness in their work, and pride in the result of their efforts, and credit is due to the instructor for his zeal and energy. The boys provided their own material, and, as the Balclutha Technical Classes Association kindly gave the use of their workshop and tools, there was no outlay save the instructor's fees, which were met by the Government subsidy. 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 for classification and bonuses for instructing papil-teachers) was £63,792 7s. 2d. ; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,725 19s. Id. ; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £8,231 14s. 4d. Inspection.—The general report of the Inspectors shows that the percentage of passes in standards is the same as that for 1896—namely, 89; that of the classes (Standards 111. to VI.) for the passes of which the Inspectors are responsible being 84-5. From the point of view of standard passes these are very satisfactory results. It will, however, be seen from their report that this is not the point of view from which the Inspectors judge the efficiency of the teaching. In their report they give a pretty full explanation of the difference between their test and the standard test of efficiency, and show that the latter, though useful as showing the proportion of children that won promotion to a higher class, is very unreliable as a test of real efficiency in the work prescribed for the year. The following tables are quoted from their report. Table A shows the efficiency of the schools according to the standard test; Table B their efficiency according to the test whereby the Inspectors judge it.

Table B.

Table A shows the number of pupils presented, the number examined, and the number passed in all the standards. The percentage of passes in standards is 89. Table B shows the percentages of marks gained by the district in the pass-subjects. The mean of these percentages is 68. Both tables cover the same subjects, and contain the results of the same examinations. In A the results are expressed in terms of standard passes ; in B they are expressed in terms of percentages of marks actually attained in each subject. The latter is obviously the more accurate statement of the efficiency of the schools. The following table shows the proportions of children presented for examination in the several classes for the last four years. The proportions are expressed in percentages : —

The table shows a gradual increase in the proportion of children that pass through the three senior classes. In 1896, 2,361 passed Standard IV.; and in 1897, 2,269 were presented for examination in Standard V.; in 1896, 1,824 passed Standard V.; and in 1897, 1,562 were presented for examination in Standard VI. Hence, about 96 per cent, of the children that passed Standard IV. spent a year in Standard V., and about 85 per cent, of those that passed Standard V. a year in Standard VI., very gratifying evidence that the bulk of Otago parents are making pretty full use of the facilities provided for the education of their children. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. ' P. G. Pryde, Secretary.

TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Sir,— Normal School, Dunedin, 10th March, 1898. » I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report of the Training College for the year 1897. At the beginning of the year the Board appointed Mr. William Gray, M.A., Vice-Principal, in place of Dr. Don, and I am glad to be in a position to say that the class work and the results of the annual examination show that he has carried out his onerous duties with credit to himself and to the institution. The attendance at the classes has been very large this year, and this has entailed on me increased work and increased responsibility in connection with the general course of instruction, and in maintaining proper supervision and direction of their practical work. The attendance has been as follows: Second year's students, 7 females; first year's students, 8 males and 31 females; number left during the year, 1 female; number in attendance at the close of the session 1897, 8 males and 37 females. The class studies includes Latin, English, mathematics, science, the art and science of teaching, singing, drawing, gymnastics, history, and geography, and, in the case of females, sewing. The subjects enumerated cover a fairly wide field of work, and when it is borne in mind that in addition to these classes we have a practical course of lessons on all the technical subjects the Board will readily admit that both teachers and students have their time very fully occupied. The course of study in each of the classes has been on much the same lines as in former years. The class for English includes the study of historical and modern grammar, and a course of English composition supplemented by a course of reading prescribed at the beginning of the year. The reading course chosen last year was as follows : The Life of Nelson, Shakespeare's Eichard 11., Cook's Voyages, Morte d'Arthur, Lorna Doone, and Macaulay's Essay on Milton. I insist on every student reading the works selected, and writing an essay in class giving an outline of the substance and matter of the books prescribed for the year's reading. I hope that this kind of work will encourage a taste for good reading on the part of our young teachers, and at the same time make them familiar with the literary style and literary characteristics of some of our best English authors. lam convinced that if a teacher is not well read he will never be able to lead his pupils to become fond of reading, and if he has not studied the history, the significance, and the proper use of words he will never be able to teach the language-lessons of the School Eeaders in an intelligent and systematic way. I have been trying to arouse more interest in this branch of school work, and with this end in view have been giving practical lessons to the students exemplifying my methods of teaching language. In the school-method class I make two courses—a practical course and a theoretical one. In the latter I lecture on the principle and aims of education, the history of educational theories and great educators, on psychology as applied to the art of teaching, on school organization and discipline, on the qualifications of the teacher, and on the methods and definitions embodied in the practical lessons taken by students as shown in the following table :—

With regard to the singing classes, I have to report that Mr. Braik continues to carry them on with ability and enthusiasm. Singing is not always a popular lesson with young teachers—is, indeed, often looked upon as an irksome as well as unimportant kind of subject that may be crowded into an out-of-the-way half-hour in the time-table. One reason for this is that many students easily pass the departmental examination in singing, but still they have little or no practical skill in teaching the subject. To improve their opportunities for teaching singing, Mr. Braik has drawn up a course of graded practical lessons for Standards I. and 11. These lessons are given according to the methods recommended by Mr. Braik, and provide the kind of work the students require to fit them to teach singing with pleasure to themselves and with advantage to their pupils. As the table given above shows, twenty-eight students took part in these lessons in Standards I. and 11., and I hope that next year the course will be extended to the Third and Fourth Standards. With regard to the other subjects of instruction, I have to report that the result of the annual examination shows that twenty-eight students secured a D and seven a "partial " D certificate, whilst two got an E and five a "partial " E certificate. Twelve passed the matriculation examination. These figures indicate that in the technical branches of study the work of the year has been carried out in a satisfactory way. The Education Department offers three prizes annually for excellence in the D science examination. All three prizes fell to the Otago Training College this year, which shows that, in the opinion of the examiners, our students are receiving a good training in theoretical and practical science. The following students secured the prizes: Ist prize, Mr. W. A. Given; 2nd prize, Mr. E. J. Thompson; and 3rd prize, Mr. W. Benton. A number of

students were placed in the honours list, receiving special mention in the following subjects : Spience, English, history, arithmetic, and school management. The following classes were attended at the Otago University : Junior mathematics, junior Latin, senior Latin, senior English, senior French, and junior mental science. Mr. E. J. Thompson and Mr. E. C. Little sat for the Bachelor of Arts degree, and Miss I. M. McKellar and Miss V. M. Greig for the first section, but the results have not been announced. A larger number attended the University this year than last, but this work, though serviceable as a means of improving their education, does not in any way improve their classification as teachers. A second year's attendance must be made before they are eligible to sit for the first section of the B.A. degree, which entitles them to a C certificate. I wish again to urge the Board to grant a small bursary to students to enable them to keep a second year's terms. This would be a great boon to young teachers, especially to those who have to accept appointments in country schools. If, on leaving the Training College, a teacher has a C certificate —the first section of his degree —there would be no disinclination to accept positions in the smaller schools. The students have been sent out to the associated schools as formerly, and I have to thank the headmasters for the assistance they give the students in hearing and criticizing the prescribed lessons. We continue to employ the students in turn in managing the small school, which is kept open during the latter half of the year. The experience they get in this way should prove of service to all of them, but especially to those who have passed their pupil-teacher course in large schools. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. D. E. White, Principal.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, February, 1898. The Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year ended 31st December, 1897 : — Board. —During the year just ended the personnel of the Board has undergone considerable change. In terms of section sof the Act, the retiring members of the Board were Messrs. George Lumsden, D. L. Matheson, and Eobert McNab. The first mentioned intimated to School Committees throughout the district his intention to retire from his position as a member of the Board. Mr. Lumsden had occupied a seat at the Board's table ever since its constitution in 1878, an unbroken period of nineteen years' faithful and honourable service rendered to the cause of education in the Southland District. The Board at its annual meeting held on the 24th March heartily and unanimously adopted a resolution expressive of its appreciation of Mr. Lumsden's long and valuable service as one of its members. To fill the vacancies thus occasioned seven candidates were nominated, and the voting, which took place in February, resulted in the re-election of Mr. D. L. Matheson, and the election of Messrs. John Cowie and William Macalister, 8.A., LL.B. At its regular meeting held in April last Mr. George McLeod was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. In the month of May an extraordinary vacancy was caused by the death of Mr. James Mackintosh, M.H.8., who had served on the Board for a considerable period, and had always shown a deep interest in all matters pertaining to the educational welfare of the community. The Board at its meeting held on the 4th June unanimously adopted the following resolution expressing the regret of its members at Mr. Mackintosh's death : " That this Board desires to place on record its deep regret at the removal by death since last meeting of Mr. James Mackintosh, M.H.8., who had been a member of the Board for many years, and who always took a warm and active interest in the cause of education." To fill this vacancy three nominations were received, and Mr. G. E. George was, by vote of the School Committees, elected as a member of the Board for the unexpired period of Mr. Mackintosh's term of office, ending 31st March, 1898. 'The Venerable Archdeacon Stockeif and Mr. F. Woodward were re-elected as the Board's representatives on the Southland High Schools Board, while Mr. J. W. Bain continued to act on behalf of the Board as a member of the Board of School Commissioners for the Otago and Southland Education Eeserves. Twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting of the Board were held during the year, while the Executive Committee, which consists of all the members of the Board for the time being, met twenty-one times. The attendance of members at both Board and Executive Committee meetings was quite exemplary, the record being as follows: Mr. McLeod—Board 13, Executive Committee 20 ; Mr. Bain —Board 13, Executive Committee 20 ; Mr. Baldey—Board 13, Executive Committee 19; Mr. Froggatt —Board 12, Executive Committee 20; Mr. Matheson—Board 11, Executive Committee 18; Mr. McGibbon—Board 11, Executive Committee 16; Mr. Macalister— Board 9, Executive Committee 15; Mr. Cowie —Board 9, Executive Committee 9; Mr. George— Board 5, Executive Committee 7. The figures in the last three instances represent in the case of Messrs. Cowie and Macalister only nine months' and in the case of Mr. George only five months' attendance. Schools. —At the close of the previous year there were in existence 140 schools. During the year to which this report refers the Board established new schools in the districts of Haldane (Improved-farm Special Settlement), Aparima, Bound Hill, Kapuka, Te Oneroa, and Cromarty (on Preservation Inlet), the two last mentioned being half-time schools. The Native school at Colac Bay was, at the request of the Education Department, taken over by this Board and constituted a public school under the Education Act, In connection with the transfer of control of this institution it was feared that some little friction might arise. The Board is, however, greatly pleased to be able to report that not the slightest trouble has been experienced, those of the

Native race still interested in the school falling in loyally with the new order of things, and all the former pupils are still in attendance. A new class-room has been added, and considerable improvements effected to the old and somewhat antiquated building. The attendance has materially increased, and, under the present staff of teachers, the school will doubtless continue its career of usefulness. During the year the small aided schools at Papatotara and Wendon, Block 111., were closed. There were therefore at the close of the year 145 schools in active operation. Of this number no less than twenty-eight schools registered an average attendance of less than twenty pupils, and these were in consequence classified by the Board's regulations as aided schools. Twenty-two others showed an average of twenty to twenty-five. In the interests of education in outlying and thinly populated districts, the existence of so many small schools is absolutely essential, and in their maintenance the Board has shown a desire to foster settlement in localities where, but for the means of educating their children, many worthy and deserving settlers would not dream of isolating themselves. The wide area over which this education district extends, and the fact that in many places large tracts of unoccupied country lie between the settled portions of the district, render it imperative that many weak schools should be established, and it is highly probable that a considerable percentage of the schools in this district will not be self-supporting for many years to come. In addition to this, there are but few of the schools under this Board chat afford a surplus of revenue over expenditure. This being so, it is only by the exercise of rigid economy and careful administration of its finance that the Board has been able to establish, and continue to support, so many small schools as are at present in operation. Attendance of Pupils.—The Board has continued the services of its Truant Inspector during the year. It is difficult to accurately gauge the benefits derived from the employment of this officer, but the Board believes that his influence for good has been felt in the school districts where he has received full authority to enforce the provisions of the School Attendance Act. In a considerable number of districts Committees are still firm in their refusal to permit the full exercise of the powers conferred on Truant Inspectors by the Act under which such officers are appointed. The reasons for such refusal are obvious. Not until the absolute control of measures to compel the attendance of irregular pupils is vested in Education Boards, and in Boards alone, will the benefits to be secured by regular attendance at , our public schools be universally felt and appreciated. The attendance of pupils has again shown a satisfactory increase. The average weekly roll-number and strict average attendance respectively for the previous year were 9,728 and 7,851. For the year 1897 the corresponding numbers were 9,846 and 7,943, showing an increase of 118 in roll-number and 92 in average attendance. The working average for the year was 8,260, an increase of 296; while the percentage of strict average attendance to roll-number remained approximately the same (806) as for the preceding year. Tbachees. —Some years ago the Board had occasion to fill many of the vacancies occurring from time to time by temporarily appointing thereto teachers of ascertained good character, but who did not at the time of appointment possess the necessary departmental certificate of efficiency. Such a course of action is not now necessary, as for even the most unremunerative position a duly qualified teacher may be obtained. This fact indicates that the supply of teachers is now adequate to present requirements. There were at the close of the year to which this report refers 245 teachers in the service of the Board, an increase of four over the number reported as employed at the end of the previous year. Of that number, 127 were males and 118 females. These teachers were, according to the positions occupied, classified as follows : Principal, 17 males; head of department, 17 females; head of school—32 males, 1 female ; sole teacher—s6 males, 33 females ; assistant—l 2 males, 17 females; pupil-teacher—lo males, 50 females: total—l 27 males, 118 females. Of the teaching staff as a whole it may safely be affirmed that they are actuated by a conscientious desire to discharge their important duties with zeal and fidelity. School Committees. —The interest manifested by most School Committees in the educational well-being of the district to which reference has frequently been made in previous reports does not appear to have relaxed during the year. These bodies still continue to render the Board substantial assistance in the conduct and supervision oi the educational affairs of the district, and in maintaining and improving the school properties. The system of auditing their accounts referred to in last year's report has been continued, with mutual benefit to the Board and Committees. No serious delinquincies were reported in connection with the audit carried out during the month of April last; indeed, a decided improvement in the methods adopted by many of the Committees in keeping their accounts was noticeable. This satisfactory feature was no doubt due in great part to the use of a uniform cash-book, which had been supplied by the Board, and brought into general use during the year. The following statement (omitting shillings and pence) is a classified summary of the income and expenditure of School Committees during the year ending 31st March, 1897 : —lncome : Balances on hand, £696 ; from Education Board grants (general), £1,712; from Education Board grants (special), £291; donations, subscriptions, &c, £289 ; receipts from other local sources, £465 : total, £3,453. The expenditure was as follows : Cleaning and fuel, £1,362 ; repairs of buildings, fences, &c, £320; books, maps, and furniture, £96 ; special grants from Board, £291; contributions towards teachers' salaries, £28 ; expenses of Committees, £364 ; on sundries (not specified), £328 ; balances in hand, £664 : total, £3,453. These figures, omitting all reference to balances, which were substantially the same at the beginning and end of the year respectively, show that a sum of about £2,750 was received and disbursed by School Committees throughout the district during the year. Of this amount the Board contributed £2,003, while from local sources a sum of £754 was received. For many extra works, such as the erection of shelter- and fuel-sheds, fencing, petty repairs to buildings, and such-like, the Board's practice is to contribute half actual cost; while for the execution of general repairs to buildings the whole responsibility is, as a rule, accepted by the Board.

Scholarships.—The usual annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held on the 14th December last and following days, when eighty-four competitors (forty girls and forty-four boys) presented themselves. The examination was held simultaneously at four centres, seventy candidates presenting themselves at Invercargill, eight at Gore, three at Eiverton, and three at Queenstown. On this occasion, as in the year 1894, the scholarships examination was made the basis on which free education for a period of two years (with an additional year should the candidate prove worthy of such further concession) would be awarded by the High Schools Board of Governors to the first fifteen next in order of merit to the scholarship-winners. The sustained interest in the Board's scholarship scheme, and the extra inducement held out by the High Schools Board's concession, had the effect of evoking very keen competition. No less than thirty-two of the candidates made over 60 per cent, of the attainable marks. The highest percentages were gained by Eobert Mackay (83) and Ernest C. Lindsay (80), to each of whom was awarded a resident scholarship of the value of £20, tenable for three years ; -by Madeline Lind (81), Jane Kennedy (79), and Willie Scobie (78-J-), to each of whom a non-resident scholarship of the value of £35, also tenable for a period of three years, was awarded. In addition to the foregoing, six scholarships—three of the value of £35 each and three of the value of £20 each, but tenable for one year only—were awarded to the candidates next on the list. The average age (fifteen years being the maximum of the scholarship-takers) was—for resident candidates, fourteen years and seven months ; for non-resident candidates, thirteen years and six months; while the average for all who made over 60 per cent, of the maximum marks was fourteen years one month, and thirteen years eleven months for resident and non-resident candidates respectively. These facts would appear to indicate that our city young folks, with all their supposed advantages, do not more than hold their own in a test of scholarship with their country cousins. The matter of the revision of the scholarships regulations has occupied the Board's attention during the year. A special committee has been appointed to review the regulations and report to the Board. This committee has met several times, conferred with prominent members of the teaching profession —the Inspectors and others—and will furnish a report early in the now current year. The present regulations have been in operation for a period of eight years, and during that time the circumstances of this district have materially altered. The average attendance, on which depends the number and value of scholarships to be allocated each year, has greatly increased during the period referred to, and there is in consequence a much larger sum available for the maintenance of our scholarships scheme. The revised regulations will, if adopted by the Board, probably not come into operation till the year 1899. Teachers will thus have ample time to adapt their teaching and selection of candidates to the new conditions which may be imposed. Pupil-teachers.—The pupil-teacher staff at the close of the year consisted of ten boys and fifty girls. The usual annual examination was held simultaneously at Invercargill and Queenstown on the 17th June last and the two following days, when thirty-four candidates presented themselves. The following statement shows the result of the examination : — Present. Passed. Failed. Exempted. First Class ... ... ... ... 8 8 0 0 Second Class ... ... ... ... 8 6 0 2 Third Class ... ... ... ... 13 11 2 0 Fourth Class ... ... ... ... 5 5 0 0 34 30 2 2 The Inspectors reported that the results of the examination were on the whole satisfactory, the papers set having for the most part received intelligent and comprehensive treatment at the hands of the candidates, In very few cases was the style of the candidates' work with respect to neatness of execution and clearness of arrangement open to exception. Of the pupil-teachers actually employed, five entered the service too recently to be eligible for examination, and twenty-one had, prior to the month of June last, already passed all the prescribed examinations. Bespecting these latter it may be mentioned that, by tacit agreement, the Board does not seek to abruptly terminate their engagements immediately on the completion of their apprenticeship, as is the custom in many other districts. It is not thought desirable to insist on a too rigid compliance with the regulations in respect to the duration of a pupil-teacher's term of office. It is expected, however, that those who have served the prescribed period, and thus qualified themselves for a more responsible position, shall use all due diligence in seeking to obtain promotion in the service. There are several to whom the last paragraph has special reference—some who are for various reasons quite content to continue to occupy the subordinate position rather than accept a country appointment at a considerable increase' of salary. The large proportion of females employed by this Board in the capacity of pupil-teachers is doubtless in part due to the preference shown by Committees in country districts for one competent to impart instruction in needlework. -In making appointments of female pupil-teachers it is made a condition that sewing shall be taught, and a bonus at the rate of £5 per annum is allowed for such extra services on condition that satisfactory progress is shown by the pupils instructed. A sum of £98 15s. was paid during the year 1897 as sewing-bonuses. It is provided in the regulations that one hour each day, before or after school-hours, shall be set apart for the purposes of instruction of pupil-teachers by the head-teachers of the various schools in which such are employed. For this extra duty a bonus, dependent partly on the success or failure at the annual examination of the pupil-teachers interested, is paid. The aggregate amount of instruction-bonus paid for the year was £292 7s, Id. Where pupil-teachers are exempted from examination; as in the case of those who have passed the " E," " D," Matriculation, or Civil" Service examinations, no instruction-bonus is allowed.

Board's Technical School.—The Saturday carpentry classes established in April, 1895, have been continued. The attendance of students shows a considerable falling-off as compared with last year, and this enabled the Board's Instructor to overtake the work of supervision unaided. The Instructor reports that the interest of the students has been well maintained throughout, and speaks in complimentary terms of their diligence and evident anxiety to do good work. The scheme of work set by the Education Department has been followed throughout the session. In connection with this subject, it may be of interest to note that a fully equipped Technical Classes Association has been established in Invercargill, and that classes for instruction in various subjects, including English, shorthand, needlework, mechanical drawing, &c, have been successfully carried on for the past two winters. These classes are held at convenient hours in the evening, and this Board has assisted the movement by placing its rooms and workshop at the disposal of the management, free of charge. Act Exhibition. —In November last the Board accepted, for exhibition in Invercargill, an offer made by the Education Department of a loan collection of art students' works illustrative of the various stages of art instruction under the Science and Art Department, South Kensington, London. The pictures and drawings were displayed to great advantage in the Board's rooms. The Exhibition was thrown open to the public free of charge, and the opportunity thus given was availed of by a very large number of citizens of the town and suburbs, and also by many country visitors. More than usual public interest was shown in the exhibition, and every facility was offered to those interested to visit and inspect the pictures every day and evening of the period— about three weeks—during which the collection remained. Inspection of Schools.—The work of the inspection and examination of the schools in the district was carried out during the year, as provided for by the department's regulations on the subject. For the third year the five Roman Catholic schools at work in this education district have also been subjected to the ordinary examination test. Buildings.—The demands for the erection of new school buildings, and for grants for the repairs and improvement of existing buildings, have been, as usual, numerous and pressing during the year just closed. The Board has not been able in all cases to satisfy these demands in full, but has striven to allocate the funds placed at its disposal to the best possible advantage of the district as a whole. The extra grant of £420 made to assist in meeting the claims arising from time to time for the establishment of schools in newly settled districts enabled the Board to proceed with the erection of schools in several districts where, but for this supplementary vote, the establishment of schools urgently required might have had to be postponed at least for some time. New schools have been erected during the year in the districts of Haldane and Aparima, while the erection of schools in five other districts was authorised. Additions to the school buildings at Waikaia and Colac Bay, and to the teacher's residence at Macetown, have also been made. Nearly the whole cost of the Colac Bay addition was contributed by the Native Schools Department as a condition of the Board taking over the charge of the Native school in that district. The negotiations entered into during the previous year for the purchase of a residence for the teacher at Waikiwi were completed at a cost of £250. The removal of the Limestone Plains School to a more central site in the township of Calcium has also been accomplished. The establishment of a new school at Flint's Bush, and the removal of the Groper's Bush School to Fairfax, rendered this work absolutely necessary in order to equally adjust the positions of the schools to the educational requirements of this portion of the district. The school at Scott's Gap, and the teacher's residence at Pyramid Siding, both of which were destroyed by fire during the preceding year, were re-erected. The Board's balance-sheet shows that the expenditure (omitting shillings and pence) on new buildings was £1,842 ; on repairs and improvements to existing buildings, £1,839; on furniture and appliances, £119; architect's salary and expenses, £282 ; advertising tenders, £22 : the grand total being £4,143 19s. 4d. The income from Government grants for buildings during the year amounted to £4,471. This amount was made up of special as well as ordinary grants for buildings, as follows : Ordinary building grant, £3,000; special grants in aid of the erection of school buildings in newly settled districts, £420 ; reinstatement of buildings destroyed by fire, £888 ; grant in aid of addition and repairs to Native-school building at Colac Bay, £163. This statement unexplained would indicate a surplus of receipts over expenditure of £328. It must, however, be pointed out that of the income set down in the Board's financial statement a sum of £640, being grant towards cost of reinstatement of the Gore school building, destroyed by fire during the previous year, was included, while a sum of £577, representing part of the expenditure on this work, was paid during the preceding year. The general result of the year's operations on the Building Account is that the debit balance of the previous year of £1,223 has been reduced to £863. Against this must, of course, be placed the fact that the liabilities due, or to fall due, under contracts, amount this year to £2,965. As the ordinary building grant promised for the year 1897-98 (£3,300) will do little more than provide for the fulfilment of pledges given, this Board would appeal strongly for a liberal proportion of the special vote of £25,000 made last session of Parliament in aid of the erection of schools in outlying and recently settled districts. While still regretting the inadequacy of the grants received from year to year for building purposes, this Board desires to record its grateful appreciation of the efforts made by the department during the past two years to meet the exigencies arising from the rapid extension of settlement in this part of the colony. Finance and Accounts.—From a perusal of the balance-sheet it will be seen that the Board's income, exclusive of credit balance at the beginning of the year, amounted to £35,785 13s. Id., the chief sources of revenue being as follows : Statutory capitation grants, £26,406 ; primary reserves rents, £3,836 ; scholarships, £554 ; inspection subsidy, £300; building grants, ordinary and special, £4,471. These, with several minor receipts, constituted the total income of the Board for the year. The disbursements aggregated £34,996 19s. 2d., the principal items of which were the following: Teachers' salaries and allowances, £26,571; School Committees' allowances, £1,831; Inspectors'

salaries and expenses, £896; office-staff salaries, £454; scholarships, £554 ; building purposes, £4,143. After payment of these and other smaller amounts, as shown in the financial statement, there remained a net credit balance to the General Account on the 31st December of £2,710 2s. lOd. From this balance to credit must be deducted a sum of £645 lis. Bd. as due and payable to teachers, School Committees, and others, in respect of liabilities on the 31st December. By order of the Board, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Jno. Neill, Secretary.

AUCKLAND. Sir,-— Auckland, 6th May, 1898. I have the honour to forward the accompanying statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year 1897, and to report as follows upon the administration of reserves in this district during that period: — The reserves let comprise: Twenty-seven sections of town and suburban lands, yielding £108 ss. 6d. per annum; twenty-six sections of rural lands, yielding £106 9s. per annum. The sum of £371 12s. has also been realised from the sale of timber for milling purposes, which amount is held on deposit for endowments in accordance with law. The Commissioners desire to point out that, in the event of the Government taking over Native lands to hold in trust for the Natives, and to lease to Europeans, as proposed by the Hon. Mr. Carroll, the necessity for setting apart adequate endowments for both primary and secondary education should not be lost sight of. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. E. Udy, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Wellington, 7th February, 1898. I have the honour to forward herewith the nineteenth annual report and balance-sheet of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District, for the year ending the 31st December, 1897. The Commissioners still consist of Mr. J. E. Blair (Chairman), and Messrs. John Duthie, A. W. Hogg, M.H.E., F. Pirani, M.H.8., and J. W. A. Marchant, Commissioner of Lands. Sales of leases for periods of twenty-one years were held during the year at Wanganui, Marton, Palmerston North, Eketahuna, and Carterton, at which an area of 9,635 acres 1 rood and 7 perches was taken up, at an annual rental of £499 14s. 2d. A further area of 2,606 acres 3 roods 22 perches, at an annual rental of £95 175., has since been disposed of, making a total of 12,242 acres and 29 perches leased to seventy-two tenants, at an annual rental of £595 125., or an average of over lid. an acre. This must be considered a satisfactory return, when it is remembered that no compensation is paid at the end of the term for either bushfelling or grassing, and the lands for the most part comprise bush country in new and unroaded districts. Of the reserves unlet, the titles to a large number have not yet been received, and a considerable proportion of the remainder are of little value, several large sections having been offered unsuccessfully at rentals of from Id. to 3d. per acre. These reserves imply an actual loss to the Commissioners, owing to the expenditure necessitated in the construction and maintenance of boundary fences, and the destruction of rabbits. A number of the titles to sections gazetted in 1895, and mentioned in last year's report, have not yet been received. This has occasioned some inconvenience; but as the Eegistrar has now consented to accept leases for registration, in anticipation of the actual issue of the title, no further difficulty from this cause need be anticipated. Owing to the rooms in the Government Insurance Buildings occupied by the Commissioners being required for another department the Commissioners had to remove to other premises. One extension of lease has been granted during the year, and one surrender accepted, being respectively part of Section 1,580, Block IX., Kairanga, and Section 31, Block X., Pohangina; the latter section having been washed away by the river. Under the heading of printing, stationery, and office contingencies are included such items as insurance premium, office-cleaning, lighting, fuel, office rent, exchange, stamps, expenses in connection with printing and circulating notices of sales, and also the removal of the Commissioners' office. You will observe from the balance-sheet that the arrears of rents only amount to £83 3s. lOd. The smallness of the amount proves that the Commissioners have not acted unwisely in allowing their tenants a little latitude during the recent period of depression. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. B. Blair, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir,— Napier, 27th April, 1898. In compliance with your circular of the 3rd December last, I have the honour to report as follows for the past year : — An auction-sale of leases was held in September last, when four suburban and two rural lots were offered. The suburban lots had been previously held under lease, but the rural lots had not been offered before, being reserves recently gazetted. Only one of the rural lots was sold, the rental obtained being £27 15s. All the other lots were passed in. Since, the sale, however, the suburban land has been let for a short term, and it will be offered again when a suitable opportunity occurs.

CANTEEBUEY. Sir, — Christchurch, sth January, 1898. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th day of September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1897, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1897, was 68,044J acres, producing an annual rental of £16,003 15s. 10d.; of this area, 24,200 acres is contained in Pastoral Eun 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, 1897 (and is onlyavailable for the purchase of land), has been renewed for one year. Only one reserve, a small one of 26 acres, has been dealt with during the year, and this was let by tender.for thirteen years and ten months from the Ist July, 1897. The Board during the year granted a slight reduction of rent from the Ist May to two tenants— to one for three years, and to the other until the expiry of his lease, the Ist November, 1901 ; and with respect to tenants who previously obtained a reduction of rent for three years, nine were granted an extension of the reduction for another three years from the Ist November, 1897, and seven an extension of the reduction until the expiry of their leases. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. H. E. Webb, Chairman.

The Commissioners held sixteen meetings during the year, at which a large amount of routine business was transacted. During the year the Commissioners leased thirty-one reserves for pastoral purposes, forty-four for agricultural purposes, and twenty-five township sections in various parts of Otago and Southland. The area of the pastoral land was 99,264 acres, leased to twenty-nine tenants, at an annual rent of £681 45., or 1-fd. per acre. The area of the agricultural land was 5,488 acres, leased to thirty-eight tenants at £761, or 2s. 7d. per acre. The township sections contain about 1 rood each, and were taken up by twenty-five tenants, at £28 18s. 6d. per annum. The total number of tenants on the Commissioners' rent-roll at the end of 1897 was 841. During the year the sum of £2,082 19s. lid. was received in repayment of loans, and £100 was advanced on mortgage. As the Commissioners have been unable as yet to find suitable security for the balance of the uninvested cash, it was placed in the Bank of New Zealand and National Bank of New Zealand on fixed deposit. During the year the Commissioners were compelled to incur a large expenditure in destroying rabbits on the Wendon, Otama, and Greenvale Euns, for which they were unable to obtain tenants until recently, notwithstanding the fact that the runs were repeatedly offered by auction and tender at low upsets. After the deduction of a block of 4,401 acres, the country referred to was ultimately subdivided into eight runs containing from 1,200 to 22,000 acres each, which were taken up by seven separate tenants, at an average rent of 15-16ths of a penny per acre. The block of 4,401 acres was subdivided into six sections, containing from 400 to 979 acres each, which were taken up by six tenants, at from sd. to lid. per acre. Of the amounts shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears of rent on 31st December, 1897, the sum of £3,321 16s. 7d. has since been collected, and as the tenants are now realising on their crops a large portion of the balance will shortly be paid. The rents are all payable half-yearly in advance, a number of them not falling due until near the end of the year, and as a rule these are not paid until after harvest. The Commissioners find that in the case of new blocks, the lessees often take up the land at high rents at auction, and that, unless they have capital (which is seldom the case), they find a difficulty in paying the rent. In the case of the tenants in settled districts, who in most cases have freeholds as well, the rents are fairly well paid. The amount of £1,587 Bs. 2d., shown under the head of expenditure in the statement of accounts, appears to be somewhat large, and in explanation I would like to say that £250 was paid for rabbiting; £116 19s. ss. was paid for improving the reserves by draining, road-making, and river-protection, &c. ; while £98 14s. was paid to tbe Government in. the shape of train-fares, stamps, and telegrams, &c. (£44 16s. lOd. being train-fares of country Commissioners in connection with their attendance at meetings). The sum of £27 10s. 6d. was collected for the preparation of leases by the office staff, and should bo deducted from the cost of management. If the foregoing figures are deducted, the actual cost of management would be £1,094 4s. 3d., or £5 lis. Bd. per cent, on the money collected during the year. I have, &c, J. P. Maitland, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.
