1899. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord,— Wellington, 28th July, 1899. 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, 1898. I have, &c, W. C. WALKEE. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Eanfurly, Governor of New Zealand.

EDUCATION: TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL EEPOET OF THE MINISTEE OF EDUCATION. [In continuation of E.-l, 1898.]

Pupils in Public Schools. The capitation grants depend (for the time being) on the " working average," which is found for each school by omitting from the calculation all the attendances on those half-days on which less than half the pupils on the roll are present. The working average for the year 1898 was estimated at 113,800; but the returns show that it actually was 111,636 —less by 692 than the corresponding number for 1897. The " strict average " is based upon the attendances on all the half-days at which any pupils are present. The ''strict average" for 1898 was 110,256, showing a decrease for the year as compared with the previous year of 737. The average of the weekly roll-numbers taken throughout the year 1898 was 133,782, or 179 less than for 1897. As the strict average attendance was 110,256, we have 82 - 4 per cent, as the figure representing the regularity of attendance for 1898; in the previous year the average attendance was 82-9 per cent, of the average weekly roll.

TABLE A. —School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1898.

Eeference to Table A shows that there has been only one other year—viz., 1893 —in which the total average attendance has fallen below that of the previous year. It is significant that in both years the colony was visited by an epidemic of measles. In 1893 the attendance fell from 80 - 6 to 78 - 5 of the average roll— that is, apparently about 2,640 children were absent each day throughout the year; but the epidemic lasted for only part of the year, and each child would be away from school, say, five or six weeks. We might say, roughly, therefore, that about 20,000 school-children were affected. In 1898 the percentage of attendance fell from 82-9 to 82-4, or there was an apparentfalling-off in the average attendance of about 670; the epidemic was much slighter, and the absences from school were, as a matter of fact, shorter in duration, although on medical grounds apparently no difference in the length of absence from school should be made whether the outbreak assumes, in any particular case, a mild or a malignant form. We are probably not far from the truth if we estimate that in 1898 about 7,000 school-children were affected. Quite apart from considerations of health, it appears not improbable, therefore, that, by the enforcement of stricter concerted measures of quarantine, Boards and Committees might considerably lessen the interruptions to school work, and thus increase the efficiency of the work; while they might, at the same time, guard themselves against the serious loss of revenue consequent upon the prolonged prevalence of an epidemic

affecting school-children. ..Reference to the last two columns of Table B will show that the falling-off in regularity of attendance during the year was greatest in Wellington, Marlborough, Westland, and Otago; hardly so marked in North Canterbury; and indicated in a still less degree in Auckland, Nelson, and Southland. On the other hand, in Taranaki and in the Grey district there was a decided advance in the regularity of the attendance; and Wanganui, Hawke's Bay, and South Canterbury were also better in this respect, It is worthy of remark that the average daily attendance for the fourth quarter was only 107,904, or 2,619 less than that for the fourth quarter of 1897. The totals of the average daily attendance for the first three quarters of 1898 and 1897 respectively were 111,040 and 111,150, which show a much smaller decrease for 1898 than appears from a comparison of the fourth quarter. .:: Even if we make allowance for the sickness that affected the attendance of school-children by adding 670 to the average attendance for the year, we still find that it is less than that of the year before.

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1898.

-.'-- An examination of the total roll-numbers in Table B shows there was an increase at the beginning of the year in the number on the roll, but considerably less than the normal increase ; in the number admitted during the year there was a decrease ; in the number left during the year, more than twice the normal increase ; and in the roll-number at the end of the year, a considerable decrease. These facts, with the fact of the diminished rate of increase last year, seem to point to some general causes affecting the number of children entering and leaving the schools. Among the causes that might be assigned are : (1) Excess of emigration over immigration; (2) greater laxity in sending children to school; (3) an earlier age of leaving school; and (4) diminishing birth-rate. The first of' these possible causes we know not to have operated, as immigration has exceeded emigration since 1892 ; we have no reason to suppose the existence of the second cause ; the third and fourth causes seem to have been Operative, (3) slightly, as a-natural result of the gradual lowering of the age at which the standards are passed;, while, with regard to (4), the returns of the Kegistrar-General show that the birth-rate has been falling rapidly for some years. There was a marked decrease in the birth-rate in 1892, and this might be expected to show a marked effect on the school-roll five or six years later. That is exactly what appears to have happened. In the absence of further information we must, however, be careful as to what relative weight we .attach to causes (3) and (4). Erom a comparison of the figures in Table, 13 with those in a similar table in last year's report, district.; by district, it. will be observed that only in four

districts has a steady increase of the roll-numbers been maintained: these districts are Taranaki, Wanganui, Wellington, and Hawke's Bay. Auckland began the year with a largely increased roll-number, but the number admitted during the year was 699 less than during 1897, and the year 1898 ended with a smaller number on the roll than in the December previous. The decrease in Otago was 433 at the beginning of the year, and at the end of the year it had reached 603, or nearly 3 per cent, of the roll-number. Marlborough lost 59, or nearly 3 per cent, of its roll-number, and W'estland lost 85, or nearly 6 per cent. In the other districts the decrease of the roll-number was not so large. Such facts seem to correspond to a certain amount of migration from other districts of the colony into the four districts named at the beginning of this paragraph. Independently of the increased number of Maoris in the Native schools, there is again a slight increase in the number of Maoris attending the ordinary public schools, except in the case of half-castes living among Europeans.

Table No. 1 (Appendix, p. 1) shows the roll-numbers arranged as to age and sex, and Table C presents the same figures in a succinct form. The percentage of boys in the public schools of the colony is about 51 "9 ; of girls, 48" 1: these figures are nearly the same as for last year. 51*7 per cent, of the pupils are below the age of ten; 48 - 3 per cent, are over ten.

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1898.

Table D, which is a condensed form of Table No. 2 in the Appendix, gives the numbers in the several classes. The proportion in the classes above Standard IV. continues to increase year by year, and the proportion in classes below Standard 111. to decrease, which is not at variance with the conjectures made above as to the causes of the diminished roll-numbers.

TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1898.

Table E shows that there has been for 1898, as compared with 1897, very little change on the whole in the ages at which children pass the various standards; what change there was took the form of a slight lowering of the age.

TABLE E.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1898.

The average of the weekly rolls for 1898 was 133,782. The total number of children on the roll at the time of examination was 132,542, of whom 40,599 were in the preparatory classes ; 74,260 passed in the different Standards I. to VI.; 12,203 failed; 2,641 had already passed the Sixth Standard; and 2,839 were absent from examination.

The passes were 56 - 03 of the number on the roll; the failures were 14*1 per cent, of the number examined in standard classes. The corresponding percentages for 1897 were 55*5 and 1531. Supposing that the conditions of examination have been equally rigid, these figures show a general advance. Table & affords a means of comparing the percentages of passes in the separate standards for the several districts; the comparison must be largely qualified by the fact that the requirements, though nominally the same in all districts, are not actually the same ; and, further, by what appears to be true also- -namely, that greater attention seems to be paid to the classsubjects in some districts than in others. In Standard I. 97 per cent, of those presented pass ; in Standard 11., 93-6 per cent.; 111., 81-9 ; IV., 79-1; V., 76-9 ; VI., 85-6.

apparently largely affected by the epidemic of measles, and for purposes of comparison it would be fairer to take the average daily attendance for the first three quarters of the year. This was, for 1898, 111,040; for 1897, 111,150. On this basis the average number in attendance per school was, in 1898, 684; in 1897, 7Q-1. ■■■- \ . j , ok - z>:

TABLE J. —Number of Schools, December, 1898. (In this enumeration every couple of half-time schools is reckoned as one school, except in the column for number of such schools.)

The number of schools with an average attendance during the fourth quarter of less than 25 increased by 18—viz., from 614 to 632. The number of halftime schools was nearly the same as before; while the number of subsidised schools shows the large decrease of 49. The number of schools open at the end of 1897, but closed at the end of 1898, was 20. The net increase in the number of schools being 39, it would appear that the number of schools opened during 1898 was 59. The number of adult teachers increased by 52, and the number of pupilteachers decreased by 16; the number of female pupil-teachers being 19 less, and the number of adult female teachers being 48 more, than for 1897. Taking the first three quarters of the year instead of the fourth quarter, for the reason given above, the number of children in attendance to one teacher was, in 1897, 30*6; in 1898, 30 - 3. The number of adult male teachers in December last was 1,234; female, 1,370; number of pupil-teachers—male, 229; female, 831.

The total of the salaries of all teachers (adult teachers, pupil-teachers, and sewing-mistresses) at the rates paid at the end of the year 1898 was ,£364,273; the average salary per teacher was £94 9s. lOd. The slight apparent increase (3s. 2d.) in average salary is evidently traceable, to a certain extent, to the substitution of adult teachers for pupil-teachers, a step that makes for greater efficiency.

TABLE L.—Salaries of Teachers, December, 1898.

Exclusive of pupil-teachers and sewing- mistresses, the total number of teachers actually employed was 2,599. Table M shows that, of these, 2,325 were holders of certificates, 31 others had passed the certificate examination, 55 had gained a partial pass, 42 had failed, and 145 had never been examined by the department. The proportion of certificated teachers is still rising, and the large increase in the number of pupil-teachers having certificates—l7s, as against 111 in 1897 —may be taken as another sign of progress.

TABLE M.—Teachers, Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1898. (Numbers in brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

In January, 1899, 22 teachers not previously holding certificates passed for D or E, thus raising the number of teachers qualified by examination to 2,378.

Tables 0 and P show the financial position of the Boards at the end of the year 1898. On the whole, the position was better than on the 31st December, 1897. In December, 1897, the total assets of the Boards amounted to £46,416 11s. lid.; the total liabilities to £35,330 2s. Id.; and the total net balance (excess of balances over deficits) to £ 11,086 9s. 10d. In December, 1898, the total assets were £59,253 7s. 4d.; total liabilities, £41,397 3s. 5d.; and total net balance (excess of balances over deficits), £17,856 3s. lid. These figures included both the Buildings Accounts and the General Accounts. Only one Board —Auckland—showed a deficit on the Buildings Account for 1898; in 1897 seven did so. On the other hand, in 1897 only two Boards had deficits on their General Accounts; while at the close of last year eight Boards were on the wrong side in their General Accounts, but most of them for comparatively small amounts. Taking both the Building Account and the General Account into consideration, the Boards showing adverse balances were Auckland, £479, and Otago, £3,037. In the latter district there is a close correspondence between the amount of the deficit and the capitation lost in consequence of the decrease of the average attendance, which seems to suggest that in the district in question the expenditure has not yet accommodated itself to the falling revenue. Table Q shows that, out of the 1,521 schools with ten or more pupils each, 191 are carried on in buildings not belonging to Boards; 457 are without teachers' houses; and 41 are more or less overcrowded.

TABLE Q. —Deficiency of School Buildings.

The ordinary vote for school buildings, 1898-99, was distributed as follows: Auckland, £9,125 ; Taranaki, £1,600 ; Wanganui, £3,875 ; Wellington, £4,950 ; Hawke's Bay, £2,475; Marlborough, £1,075; Nelson, £2,025; Grey, £1,025; Westland, £750; North Canterbury, £5,925 ; South Canterbury, £1,750; Otago, £5,925 ; Southland, £3,300 : total,'£43,Boo. The following distribution was made of the special vote for schools in newly settled districts: Auckland, £1,932; Taranaki, £520; Wanganui, £2,716; Wellington, £4,250; Hawke's Bay, £513; Nelson, £298; Grey, £420; Westland, £300; North Canterbury, £927; South Canterbury, £421; Otago, £1,555; Southland, £1,630 : total, £15,482. The Boards received from the department £7,932 3s. lOd. for scholarships, and their expenditure for scholarships amounted to £8,109 Bs. Bd. In some districts holders of Education Board scholarships are received into the high schools without payment of fees; in other districts, they have to pay high school fees out of their scholarship money. It appears doubtful whether, in some cases, the amounts paid to holders of scholarships corning from country schools are sufficiently liberal to allow the children of poor parents reasonable amounts for board and lodging and other necessary expenses.

The payments "made to Education Boards out of the proceeds from education reserves amounted in 1898 to £38,424 3s. lOd. Sums so paid over do not, however, go to increase the revenues of the respective Boards, as equal amounts are deducted from the capitation grants due to the Boards. The payments for secondary education from reserves under the control of the School Commissioners were £3,024 Is. 3d. Native Schools. The number of Native village schools in full working order at the end of 1898 was eighty, or six more than at the end of the previous year. The number of children on the roll, 2,972, in December, 1898, shows an increase of 108 during the year; and the average weekly number on the roll during 1898 was 3,056, or 101 more than for 1897. The strict average attendance showed an increase of 50, and reached 2,341 —that is, a little over 76J percent, of the average roll-number. One school, that at Opanaki, was transferred to the Auckland Board ; a small public school near at hand, without a proper abode, was combined with the Native school, this being made easy by the fact that the Maori children of the district had enough knowledge of English to benefit by the lessons in a public school. Seven new schools were opened—namely, Te Kuiti, on the main line of railway from Auckland ; Te Kotukutuku, near Tauranga ; Koriniti (now renamed Pamoana), Wanganui Biver; Whakarara, near Whangaroa; Karioi, between Taupo and. Wanganui; Nuhaka, near the Mahia Peninsula; and a subsidised school at Whangarae, Croiselles Harbour, on the east side" of Tasman Bay. Since the beginning of 1899 a new school has been opened at Waimana, near Ohiwa, Bay of Plenty; the schools have been reopened at Whangape, north of Hokianga; at Otamatea, Kaipara ; and at Peria, Mangonui; and the schools at Karikari and Galatea have been removed to Papamoa and Awangararanui. There are about twenty-six applications for the opening of new schools ; of these proposed schools, one will be opened soon, and probably about five more before the end of the year; the rest are cases which are still under consideration, or in which doubt exists as to the need for a school, or as to the support a school would receive if it were established; or cases in which the obstacles to the establishment of a school remain still unremoved. It is worthy of note that in some districts in which anti-European feeling was formerly very strong the desire for education is beginning to take hold of the people, and not only are the schools that are already established appreciated, but proposals are being made for new schools. As examples of this promising development might be mentioned the schools set up at Bakaumanga, on the Waikato Biver; at Te Kuiti, in the King-country; and at Kawhia, near the landing-place of the great Tainui canoe; and the school asked for at Parawera, near Kihikihi, formerly King Tawhiao's settlement. Similarly we might refer to the Tuhoe country, where progress on the whole has been satisfactory. On the other hand, as pointed out by the Inspector of Native Schools, the extensive district connected with Parihaka is still closed to us. At the two boarding-schools for Maori boys there were, at the end of 1898, 117 boys, of whom 25 were Government pupils; and there was a like number (117) at the girls' boarding-schools, 53 being Government pupils. The number of industrial scholarships in force at the close of the year was seven, the holders being apprenticed, three to saddlers, one to a blacksmith, one to a carpenter, one to a coachbuilder, and one to a farmer. Two girls were holders of hospitalnursing scholarships; one Maori youth is going through his university course at Canterbury College. Since the beginning of 1899, two former pupils of Te Aute have commenced their medical course at the University of Otago. Interesting details in reference to the Te Makarini scholarships are to be found in Mr. Pope's report (Native Schools, E.-2). Sixty-two out of the eighty schools in operation on 31st December, 1898, were under the charge of masters, and eighteen under mistresses; there were besides 63 assistants, and ten sewing-mistresses. The salaries paid to the headteachers range from £100 to £248, and those for assistants and sewing-mistresses from £7 to £50.

The expenditure on Native schools for 1898 was as follows: Teachers' salaries and allowances, £13,192 lis. 4d.; books and school requisites, £560 17s. Id.; repairs and small works, £406 19s. 7d.; inspection, £855 13s. lid. ; boarding-schools and scholarships, £1,822 lis. 5d.; buildings, fencing, furniture, &c, £5,584 15s. 5d.; sundries, £167 17s.

The examination results for 1898, given therein, show that 518 children in Native schools passed Standard I.; 334, Standard II.; 226, Standard III.; 148, Standard IV. ; 31, Standard V.; 10, Standard VI.: total, 1,267. Industrial Schools. The number of inmates on the books of all the industrial schools at the close of 1898 was 1,554, which was 34 less than at the (dose of the previous year. In the Government schools there was a decrease of 48; in private schools an increase of 14. Out of the total number (1,554) thus classed legally as " inmates of industrial schools," the number actually dependent on the several institutions for maintenance was 1,002, made up as follows : 573 resident inmates of the schools, 412 boarded out, and 17 girls for whom payment was made in various corrective institutions. The remaining 552 were not dependent on the schools for maintenance, although still under control and supervision ; of these, 97 were licensed to reside with friends, 414 were at service, 3 in hospital, 3 in lunatic asylums, 1 in the Auckland Blind Asylum, 3 at the Costley Training Institution on probation, 8 under the control of other institutions, and 23 absent without leave (14 from service, and 9 from the schools). Of those thus absent, 8 were missing on the 31st December, 1897, and were included in the returns for that year. Of the three Government industrial schools, Auckland had 79 nominal " inmates " ; Burnham, 496 ; and Caversham, 476 : total, 1,051. The numbers of resident inmates were— Auckland, 11; Burnham, 92; Caversham, 78: total, 181 —that is, out of the whole number under the control of these schools, only about 17 per cent, were actually in residence. In other words, the great majority of industrial-school "inmates" do not reside at industrial schools at all. Of the rest, 403 were boarded out with foster-parents, 64 with friends, 353 were at service, 30 at institutions other than industrial schools, and 20 absent without leave.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1897 and 1898.

As the industrial-school system has grown up it has become more and more possible to pay an increased amount of attention to the classification of children committed under the Industrial Schools Act. Speaking generally, no difficulty has been found in providing suitable foster-homes for all very young children, and for most of the other children under twelve years of age; of the latter,

some (for whom, though not actually vicious, a firmer control seems, for a time at least, desirable) are received into the schools. The schools also contain some children from twelve to fourteen for whom foster-homes are not so easily found. Burnham and Caversham have day-schools attached to them where the children receive instruction similar to that given in the ordinary public schools and are examined by the Inspectors of the Education Boards. On passing the Fourth Standard, or at the age of fourteen, " inmates " are placed at service as soon as suitable situations can be found for them. The resident inmates of service age who are waiting for employment are instructed in garden, or farm, or domestic work. Boarded-out children generally remain with their foster-parents until they can be placed at service. The State, through the managers of the schools and the official visitors, exercises a parent's care in guarding the interests of those placed out at service; and in many cases of boarded-out children it is gratifying to note that great assistance is rendered by the foster-parents —indeed, not infrequently the latter have shown themselves ready to pay for the services of the children they have in a certain sense adopted rather than break the home-tie that has been formed. Even when circumstances have not made this course possible, evidence is not wanting that the children boarded out for some years with foster-parents often come to regard them as real fathers and mothers, and that the moral influence of the foster-home has been that of a true home for the orphans of the State. Both foster-homes and service-homes are inspected from time to time by the managers, by the Visiting Officer, and by the Official Correspondents ; and are under the constant supervision of ladies who voluntarily undertake the work of visiting in different districts, to whom, therefore, the thanks of the community are due for their unselfish labours. The really difficult cases are comparatively few in number; when it is undesirable that individuals should be received into the industrial schools, special arrangements have to be made for them at corrective institutions or elsewhere. In the schools there is separation of the sexes, and the explanation already given shows that in the main there is classification as to character also. It is to be feared that there are some of both sexes who, being above the age of committal fixed by the Industrial Schools Act, escape control altogether. For them, and for the more difficult cases already mentioned, it may be necessary at an early date to establish reformatories. In regard to the classification of inmates in the industrial schools another side of the case has recently been set forth, supported, unfortunately, by many unfounded statements and much exaggerated suggestion of possible evil in the existing system. The question has been raised whether, even with the strict rules in force, and with the careful oversight exercised both at Caversham and Burnham, it is expedient to continue the practice of placing boys and girls in the same institution. Apart from any misunderstanding of the facts or exaggeration of the actual circumstances, the objection to the present practice is mainly a sentimental one," but it cannot be altogether overlooked on that account, and the matter appears to be one that should receive the early attention of the Government. It will probably be a matter for early consideration whether a much larger amount of really industrial or even technical training should not be given to the children before they leave our industrial schools. It is doubtful, however, whether in the case of boarded-out children it would be desirable to snap the home-ties; it would appear a better course to allow them to receive manual or industrial training either at their homes or at the ordinary schools they have been attending. During the year 1898, 244 inmates passed out of the control of the schools, namely: Discharged, 213; having reached the age of twenty-one years, 18; by transfer to the Costley Training Institution, 5 ; by marriage, 3 ; by death, 5. Of the 5 who died, 3 were infants under two years old—l at St, Mary's, Auckland, 1 at St. Mary's, Nelson, and 1 boarded out from Auckland Industrial School; and 2 died from phthisis, one boy on the books of St. Mary's, Nelson, and one girl on the books of Burnham, but both were licensed out to friends,

Table U is given in a new form this year ; although it cannot be regarded as accurate in every detail, it gives the fullest information available in respect to the character of the parents of children admitted during the year, and in regard also to the reasons for committal. As to the latter heading, it may be noted that apparently the practice in the various Magistrates' Courts is not quite uniform, cases that appear to be similar being regarded differently in different districts. Again, what is far more important, the clause under which a child is committed to an industrial school is by no means a reliable index of the child's moral character; for instance, in cases of petty theft it is often found that the wrongful act does not necessarily imply a vicious disposition, but is merely a symptom of want of control or of sheer neglect on the part of parents. In this connection there is a somewhat sad significance in the fact that two-thirds (43 out of 64) of the children committed to industrial schools as guilty of punishable offences were described as the children of good (or respectable) parents ; in 30 cases both parents were described as " good " ; in 13 other cases the surviving parent was so described. In regard to religion, the inmates admitted during 1898 were described as follows: Church of England, 85; Boman Catholic, 83; Presbyterian, 28; Methodist, 9; Baptist, 4; Jewish, 1. Of the 210 admissions, 123 were from the four centres —Dunedin, 41; Auckland, 35; Wellington, 31; Christchurch, 16. The rest were from the smaller towns and country districts.

TABLE U.—Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1898.

The balance in the Post-Office Savings-Bank on 31st December, 1898, on account of wages of inmates belonging to Government industrial schools was £10,676 2s. 4d. ; and on account of inmates in private schools, £1,048 7s. Bd. The amount withdrawn during the year for inmates of Government schools was £1,241 2s. 9d. ; and for inmates of private schools, £14. The expenditure on the Government schools (including the cost of inmates boarded out), and the amounts recovered from chaxitable aid boards, from parents, from the sale of farm produce, &c, are shown in Table W.

TABLE W. —Expenditure on Government Schools, 1898.

Table X shows the payments made on account of inmates in private industrial schools, the recoveries, and the net expenditure by Government in respect of these schools. In the recoveries shown, however, the contributions from Charitable Aid Boards are not included, because the payments are made by the Boards directly to the managers of these schools.

TABLE X. —Government Expenditure on Private Schools (R.C.), 1898.

The expenditure on account of inmates maintained in other institutions is as follows : Salvation Army Home, Auckland, £16 14s. Id.; Women's Befuge, Auckland, £5 7s. 6d.; Mission Home, Wanganui (Mother Aubert's), £95 Bs.; Magdalen Asylum, Christchurch,-£213 4s. lid.; St. Mary's Home, Christchurch, £65 10s. 6d.: total, £395 15s. Additional information is afforded by other tables appended to the paper E.-3. School foe Deaf-mutes. At this school, as most people are aware, deaf-mutes are taught to hold communication with their fellow-men, not by the use of finger or other signs, but by what is known as the oral method. They are trained in such a way that they can follow the speech of any person who will take the trouble to articulate properly, and can themselves speak so as to be easily understood by others. Their general intellectual and moral education is also well attended to. It is worthy of note that the roll of the school includes all the known deafmutes of school age and of sound intellect in the colony who have been brought under the notice of the Education Department. It is possible that there are a few, say, in the North Island, whose parents have not responded to the invitation to bring the cases of their children under the notice of the Director in his periodical visits to the various parts of the colony. As the Director pointed out in his report for 1897, " It would be a real kindness to the afflicted if parents or friends would, by letter, report all cases of deafness between the ages of four and seven to the Director, or to the Secretary for Education, so that an expert might visit and report upon them whenever suitable opportunities occur." Four boys and one girl left at or near the beginning of 1898, and seven boys and one girl were admitted during the year. At the end of 1898 the number in the institution was thirty boys and twenty girls. The Director, besides exercising a general control, takes the chief part in the instruction of the pupils, and in this work is assisted by a staff of five teachers; the boarding arrangements and the care of the inmates when out of school are in the hands of a steward and matron.

Net expenditure, £3,135 2s. The reports of the Director and the Medical Officer are printed in a separate paper (E.-4). Institute foe the Blind. The Jubilee Institute for the Blind receives some pupils for whose tuition the Education Department is responsible. The number of such pupils at the end of 1898 was 14, which was the same as at the end of 1897. The payments made by the department on their behalf to the Institute amounted to £337 15s. Bd., towards which a sum of £24 Bs. was contributed by parents. The department also paid £32 18s. for a yearly railway-ticket for the use of an agent of the Institute. No account is given here of grants made to the Institute by the in charge of hospitals and charitable aid. Manual Teaining and Technical Insteuction. The past year has been marked by a largely increased degree of interest in the question of manual and technical education, and, apart from the direct benefits derived from the aid rendered to classes for manual training and technical instruction, the Act of 1895 is bearing fruit by educating public opinion, and by preparing the way for larger and more comprehensive measures. What has been done in Great Britain, in America, and on the Continent of Europe has become more widely known through the medium of public journals and magazines, and the recent publication of Mr. A. D. Biley's report on " Manual and Technical Instruction " (E.-sb, 1898) has undoubtedly stimulated the minds of people throughout the colony, and tended to remove misconceptions as to the aims and methods of the new movement in education. In many primary schools in different parts of the colony an increasing amount of attention is being paid to kindergarten occupations in the infant classes, and to manual exercises intended as a continuation of them in some of the standard classes. Several of the secondary schools provide a certain amount of manual instruction; but it is doubtful how far either this work or the work done in the primary schools has been co-ordinated with the other subjects of instruction, or has become an organic part of the education given in the schools. We are, perhaps, in danger of forgetting that manual training—the specific training of the hand and eye in conjunction with the brain —involves not so much the introduction of a new subject as a change of method in the treatment of nearly all the subjects included in the school course ; that it not only develops powers that would often otherwise remain dormant, but provides, amidst the complexity of the demands of modern educational systems, the key to a true co-ordination so long sought for by Herbart and other earnest teachers. If our pupils are taught by direct observation of things, and if at the same time their constructive and creative activities are called into play, the different parts of their education are truly co-ordinated, because the various subjects of instruction are all, in a real sense, co-ordinated with nature. All other co-ordinations are more or less artificial. The principle of natural co-ordination is in reality an extension of the ideas of Froebel as exemplified in the best kindergartens. The same principle can be applied throughout all education—not only in the infant classes, but also in the higher stages of primary education, in secondary, and even in university education. Some of our best teachers already recognise this fact, and herein consists our best hope not merely for manual and technical education, but for a general advance in the intellectual training of the nation. We must come to realise the fact that, unless we assign to eye and hand and ear their proper place in each subject, the path of progress is closed to us. This is quite obvious in regard to skill in the industries, technical or agricultural,

iii—E. 1.

and, on careful thought, in regard also to commercial or professional knowledge ; hence the demand for technical education, which is a projecting, out of the realm of general education into that of special education, of the principles already enunciated. It has been said that " manual training includes all processes that train the muscles and the mind to work in harmony." At the same time that the hand is being practised in movements of dexterity, there are stimulated in the mind the observation of form and the appreciation of beauty, which are the elements of artistic taste. The first step towards actually realising this would be the improvement of drawing in the schools, so that it might become truly a mode of expression rather than a mere slavish imitation of drawing-book copies. This, on the side of the arts, would give rise to original design ; while the constructive instinct would concentrate the ideas of measurement, the perception of the relations of form, and of the properties of matter, into creative effort. One of the healthiest effects of manual training, and a sufficient justification for its inclusion in a scheme of general education, is that it trains the judgment to deal with practical life; it thus fosters the constructive instinct, and counteracts the tendency of a too exclusively bookish school system towards sedentary occupations and town-life ; while, by opening out new avenues for the natural activities, it enables the teacher or the parent to discover more easily the natural bent of a boy or girl. The same ideas that prompt manual training will lead to making concrete teaching the basis of all mathematical instruction; to the greater use of open-air teaching in geography and the natural sciences in preference to the use of books; to work in physical and chemical science that is experimental and based on individual effort ; to teaching in history that does not separate it from the political and social life of the present; possibly also to methods of language - teaching in which emphasis is laid not on the dry bones of grammar, but on the actual use of a language for speaking, reading, and writing. Fallacies die hard; were it not so, it would never be contended that these new methods give an intellectual training inferior to that given by the old bookish methods. On the contrary, we have lost the full value even of books, because they deal so much with what are to us abstractions ; if the things they treat of were actually known to us, how many books would live that now are nothing but words ! Slavery to formal examination tests has perhaps been one of the greatest obstacles to progress, and should accordingly be guarded against in the future. In short, in order that the introduction of manual training into our primary and secondary schools may have its full beneficial effect, this training should be an organic part of the education of the schools; and, that being so, it should be given within the school-hours, and as far as possible by the ordinary teacher, who should be trained for that purpose. Unless co-ordinated naturally with the other " subjects," and therefore inevitably influencing the methods, generally throughout the school, manual instruction must more or less fail. Technical education, which is specialisation in the direction of a trade after a certain stage in intellectual development has been reached, —probably even technical education will partially fail, if altogether dissociated from a continued advance in general education, although the want of that has very little influence on mere manual dexterity. The larger and more comprehensive measures referred to above should therefore include provision for manual instruction in primary and secondary schools ; for domestic instruction; for the better teaching of drawing and science ; for technical education in special classes, industrial, mechanical, or agricultural in character; for continuation classes; for workshops and art schools; for commercial education; for technology in university colleges; for the training of teachers; with further provision for scholarships, and for the proper direction and inspection of the whole system. Moreover, the plea for manual training and technical instruction, and, in general, for the greater use of concrete methods in teaching, has a peculiar force in reference to our Native schools, and they should therefore have a share in the benefits of any scheme that may be inaugurated. Due attention should be given also to local needs, and to the effective use of existing agencies. Altogether, the problem is not a simple one, and it would not be difficult to waste large sums of public money in attempting its solution. But, if we proceed with care, the experience

E.—l.

of Great Britain and other countries ought to show us how to avoid many of the mistakes into which they have fallen. It seems, at all events, impossible to go back now; and the time appears to have come for a decided advance. The figures given in Table V speak for themselves: they show the administration of the resources afforded by the Act of 1895; the capitation paid to Education Boards, technical classes associations, and private adventure classes for certain subjects or groups of subjects; and the amounts of special grants in certain cases.

TJnivebsity and Colleges. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is a separate paper (E.-6). The number of graduates admitted or qualified for admission now amounts to 694. Of this number, 354 have the degree of B.A. alone ; 20, that of B.So, alone; 15, LL.B. alone ; 26, M.B. alone; 192, M.A. alone; 5, M.D. alone ; 3, LL.D. alone ; and 1, D.Sc. alone. The graduates upon whom degrees in two faculties have been confered are : B.A. and B.Sc, 8; B.A. and LL.B., 21; B.A. and M.8., 6; M.A. and B.Sc, 21; M.A. and LL.B., 14; M.A. and M.8., 2; M.A. and D.Sc, 2; M.A. and LL.D., 3; LL.D. and 8.A., 1. The number of degrees conferred after the examination of 1898 was 80: 8.A., 32; B.Sc, 9; LL.B., 2 ; M.8., 3; B.Sur., 3; M.A., 29 ; LL.D., 2. The number of candidates at the entrance examination for 1898 was 814; 401 sat at examinations for degrees, and 103 for professional qualifications not academical, making a total of 1,318. The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1898 was 667, of whom 219 were women. Of these students, 462 were matriculated at the University of New Zealand. The numbers in attendance at the several colleges are as follows: University of Otago, 183 men and 51 women matriculated, and 35 men not matriculated ; at Canterbury College, 85 men and 46 women matriculated, and 18 men and 38 women not matriculated; and at Auckland University College, 75 men and 22 women matriculated, and 52 men and 62 women not matriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.-7, E.-8, and E.-9 respectively. The report of Victoria College is E.-10. " The Univebsity Endowment Act, 1868." The income accrued under this Act, and applicable to purposes of higher education yet to be determined by Parliament, amounted, at the end of 1898, to £4,465 16s. 5d., as follows : Canterbury Beserves, £1,714 ss. 4d. ; Westland, £227 2s. 6d.; Taranaki, £2,524 Bs. 7d. Chatham Islands. At Te One, on the main island of the Chatham Islands group, there is a fully equipped school; but this has of late not been in a very satisfactory state. Strenuous efforts are being made to improve matters, and it is hoped that these will be successful. The average weekly roll-number for 1898 was 25-91, and the strict average attendance was 14*92. The subsidised schools at Waitangi West and Te Baki, taught by one teacher, had a joint average weekly roll of 11-07, and a joint average attendance of 10-26. Since the beginning of the current year there have been three centres instead of two, and the joint average attendance for the first quarter of the year has been 20. The subsidised school on Pitt Island is doing very good work. It had for 1898 an average weekly roll-number of 11-75, and an average attendance of 11-59. This island is visited by a steamer about three times in a year, and the schools must be some of the most isolated in the world. Subsidies to Public Libeabies. Previous to the vote of last session granting £2,000 for aid to public libraries, there had been no vote for that purpose since 1886, when the amount for distribution was £4,000. In the division of the vote for 1886 a nominal addition of £25 was made to the amount of the income of each library derived from subscriptions, donations, and rates, provided that the receipts for the year were not less than £2, and the vote was divided according to the amounts thus augmented. In the present instance, in order to secure a fair share to the smaller libraries, the total subsidy being smaller, the further limitation was made that no library should receive credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case should the augmented amount on which distribution was based exceed £100. In accordance with a Gazette notice of the 25th November, 1898, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the Bth February, 1899, and on that date the amount of the vote was divided among the 285 libraries from which applications, each accompanied by a statutory declaration on the proper form, had been received. The result was that a dividend of 3s. 3-3 d. was given for each pound of the sum on which each library's share was calculated. The possible minimum was thus £4 Bs. 5d., and the maximum amount paid to any library was £16 7s. 7d.,

Some libraries supplied with the proper forms failed to send in formal claims by the 31st January, the date fixed by the Gazette notice, and did not therefore participate in the vote. The number of libraries aided in February, 1887, was 361; those aided this year were 285 in number; possibly the cessation of the grant between 1887 and 1898 led to a loss of interest in the case of some of the smaller libraries, resulting in their extinction. In another paper (E.-13) a list is given showing the distribution of the subsidy in detail. The following table shows the distribution according to education districts : —

Summary of Distribution of Public Libraries Subsidy.

Civil Sebvice Examinations. As usual the Civil Service examinations were conducted this year (in January) by the Education Department simultaneously with the examination for teachers' certificates. There were 468 candidates for the Junior Civil Service examination, and the names of 261 were published in order of merit in the Gazette of the 23rd February. For the Senior Civil Service examination there were 94 candidates, of whom 44 passed. Further particulars are given in the report of the examination (E.-1a). The late Secbetaby to the Depabtment. It would not be fitting that this report should close without some reference to the late Secretary for Education and Inspector-General of Schools. The Bey. W. J. Habens, who at the time of his death was sixty years of age, graduated at the London University in 1862, as 8.A., with honours in Animal Physiology, Logic, and Moral Philosophy. He came to New Zealand in 1864, and took from the first a prominent part in educational matters. He occupied a place on the first Board of Governors of Canterbury College ; in 1873, was Chairman of the East Christchurch School Committee ; and in 1876 he became Secretary of the North Canterbury Education Board. After the passing of the present Education Act, Mr. Habens was appointed Inspector-General of Schools, and in that capacity he framed the regulations necessary for administering the Act, drew up the standards of instruction, and devised the scheme for the classification of teachers now in operation. The amount of work involved in all this was enormous; but, in addition, in 1879 and 1880 Mr. Habens acted as Secretary to the Boyal Commission on Higher Education, and drew up the report issued by it in 1881. In 1880 he became a member of the Senate of the University of New Zealand, and assiduously took part in its deliberations. In 1886, on the retirement of Dr. Hislop from the post of Secretary for Education, the Bey. W. J. Habens was appointed to the position, holding it in conjunction with the Inspector-General-ship of Schools. His duties brought him into contact with every branch of the educational system of the colony; and his thoroughness in method and detail, his perspicacity, and his untiring energy and faithfulness of service have rendered lasting benefits to the State.

EEPORTS OF EDUCATION BOAEDS.

[Details are in some cases omitted.] AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1899. In compliance with section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings for the year 1898: — Boaed.—The members in office during the year were Messrs. L. J. Bagnall, T. Cooper, A. B. Harris, B. Hobbs, S. Luke, J. Muir, J. B. Beed, B. Udy, J. H. Wright, and B. Parrel), who succeeded Mr. Harris in April. Twenty-seven meetings of the Board were held during the year, the average attendance being (nearly) eight out of nine members. A committee of four members (Messrs. Farrell, Muir, Udy, and the Chairman) met every fortnight to deal with matters of finance, and with the selection of teachers for appointment. The members to retire at the 31st March, 1899, were Mr. Cooper, Mr. Udy, and Mr. "Wright. Mr. Cooper has been re-elected. The other two seats will be occupied by Dr. A. McArthur and Mr. William Leys. Mr. Udy (who did not seek reelection) retires after a continuous service of nearly thirteen years, including five years' duties as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Wright has served on the Board since June, 1895. Schools. —Three hundred and seventy-two schools were in operation during the year. The number of schools open at the end of 1898 was 369, of which forty-six were half-time schools. Fifteen new schools were opened—viz., Ohaeawai, Komata, Tokatea, Paiaka and Pah (half-time), Whakahara (aided), Paemako, Broadwood (aided), Katikati No. 1 and Bowentown (half-time), Pouto Point (aided), Golden Cross and Maratoto (half-time), Tapuwai, Great Barrier Island (itinerant), and Buakaka (half-time with Mata). The schools closed during the year were Tauranga No. 2 (upon the removal of the building to a central site), HarafJonga and Mangate (Great Barrier Island), Kowhai (half-time with Hukatere), Upper Waihou, and Pepepe (aided). The two last named have since been reopened. The number of schools (369), including forty-six half-time schools, is reckoned in the departmental returns as 346. Of this number no fewer than 152 have an average attendance less than twenty-five. Between twenty-five and fifty (average) there are 101 schools ; between fifty and one hundred (average) there are forty-four schools ; and only forty-nine schools —or about 14 per cent, of the whole number—have an average attendance of one hundred or more scholars. In fully fourfifths of the schools of this district the income derived from the statutory capitation grant upon average attendance is insufficient to defray the cost of maintenance. The Board continues to grant aid in all possible cases where there are children beyond reach of a school, and where the residents undertake to provide board and lodging for a teacher. The gradual increase in the number of schools— over sixty since 1893 —has necessitated the appointment of a sixth Inspector. Teachebs.—What has been stated above regarding the number of small schools is sufficient to account for the large proportion of teachers to the number of scholars in this district. The number of teachers at the end of 1898 was 867, classified as follows : Head teachers, 346; assistant teachers, 194 ; pupil-teachers, 250 ; sewing teachers, 77 : the total comprising 321 males and 546 females. The number of teachers (above the rank of pupil-teacher) who are not certificated is twenty, of whom two hold the Minister's "License to teach," and eleven have obtained partial classification in Classes Dor E. They are mostly employed in positions of small emolument or so remote as to afford little inducement to a certificated teacher. The pupil-teachers are classified as follows : First year, 39; second year, 71; third year, 65; ex-pupil-teachers, 75 : total, 250. There is still a large number of unemployed candidates attending schools for practice in teaching ; and the number of candidates for employment is in excess of the demand at the present time. The large number of ex-pupil-teachers indentured under regulations prior to the scheme now in operation is being gradually reduced. These ex-pupil-teachers are retained for a full term of six years— i.e., three years above and beyond the period for which they were originally indentured—after which they become eligible for appointment to positions as teachers or assistants. Hitherto suitable employment has been found for all. Appointments to positions above the rank of pupil-teacher are generally made in the following manner : Upon a vacancy occurring, the Board submits to the School Committee of the district the name or names of one, two, or three teachers, with particulars as to their classification, teaching skill, and experience. If more than one name is submitted, the selection of a teacher is left to the School Committee. If the Committee should recommend the appointment of some other teacher for the position, the Board generally accedes to their recommendation, if it can be done without injury to the service, and without injustice to the claims of the teacher or teachers nominated by the Board for the appointment. Where the appointment is of an approximate value of £200 a year, applications for the position are generally invited by advertisement from teachers of a certain stated classification. From the list of candidates the Board selects five or six names (according to merit), and submits those names to the School Committee for their selection of a candidate therefrom. It is a rule of the Board that, in consulting Committees in connection with the appointment of teachers, only the names of applicants who are best qualified for the position, and who stand as nearly as possible on a level as regards qualifications, shall be sent on at the same time,

Attendance.—The roll-number of scholars shows a slight decrease, from 27,683 at the end of 1897 to 27,557 at the end of 1898. The working-average attendance for the year was 23,153, as compared with 22,983 for the year 1897. But for an epidemic of measles in the last quarter of 1898 the increase would have been larger. The Board regrets to observe that in some districts the provisions of "The School Attendance Act, 1894," are allowed to become almost a dead-letter. The State has determined that every child between the age of seven and thirteen shall attend some public school a certain number of times in each week, and a penalty is imposed under the Act for any breach of its provisions, except under certain stated conditions. There is evidence of an impression still existing that the enforcement of " compulsory attendance" rests at the option of the School Committee of the district. Apart from the pecuniary loss entailed upon the Board through irregular attendance, the efficiency of the teaching is marred, and the efforts of the teacher are discouraged, through habitual irregularity in some districts. Scholaeships.—Fifty-six junior and twenty-four senior scholarships were held at the end of 1898. The schools attended by the scholars are the Auckland College and Grammar School, the Thames High School, and the Whangarei High School. The reports of the headmasters upon their conduct and progress are satisfactory, and the results of higher competitive examinations afford abundant evidence of the good use which many of the district scholars make of the means of higher education afforded them. Special scholarships for girls attending the public primary schools have been established, the cost of which will be defrayed out of the interest accruing from the investment of the proceeds of the Auckland Girls' High School endowment. Technical Instruction.—Classes in manual instruction are held at Devonport and Remuera Schools. Until adequate funds shall be voted for the purpose it is not likely that there will be any extension of the means of technical instruction. Application was made by the Board for a special grant towards the erection of a technical and training college upon a suitable site in the City of Auckland, but.no provision was made by the Legislature at last session for such a purpose. Finance. —The income from all sources during the year was £103,950 155., and the expenditure was £103,459 Is. 6d. In 1897 a saving of Is. 2d. per head was made upon the statutory capitation grant of £3 15s. for maintenance. In 1898 the expenditure on maintenance amounted (approximately) to £3 16s. 7d. per head, as follows: Teachers' salaries, £3 3s. 10d. per head; grants to School Committees (including painting and repairs), 8s lid. per head; inspection and examination, Is. lid. per head; cost of Board's management, Is. lid. per head. The excess of expenditure during 1898 consisted chiefly in the painting of school buildings and formation of school grounds, which amounted altogether to more than £3,000. Notwithstanding this large outlay, there was at the end of 1898, a net credit balance of £1,541 ss. 7d. on Maintenance Account, after providing, for all liabilities thereon to that date. The expenditure on buildings during the year amounted to £11,875 6s. Bd. At the end of 1898 the liabilities on this account amounted to £2,020, and the Board had authorised further works to the extent of £6,735, for which, however, no contracts had been let. The Board is thus placed at a great disadvantage through want of necessary funds to build and enlarge schools. Many urgent works have to be delayed for lack of funds. The annual grants for school buildings are inadequate. Eepresentations on this subject have been frequently made, but with little or no avail. Unless a more liberal provision be made by Parliament, the task of providing suitable school accommodation throughout this extensive district cannot be satisfactorily overtaken. Buildings.—The increasing demand for buildings, and for repairs and restoration of existing buildings, still engages the attention of the Board. Teachers' residences are needed in many country places, where the accommodation is both insufficient and unsuitable. Appeals are made for grants to improve school grounds, to erect out-buildings, and other necessary adjuncts. It is satisfactory to report that much has been done to improve the accommodation in several schools, and to give the schools a more cheerful and healthy appearance. Greater attention is required to local supervision of the school properties, which must suffer from misuse or neglect. Committees and teachers may exercise a wholesome influence in this matter, and any indifference on their part to the care of the school premises and fittings will lead to carelessness (if not to wanton damage) on the part of the pupils and others having access thereto. Two foremen are constantly employed by the Board in visiting schools and making repairs of a varied kind, some of them indicating a want of efficient supervision in the use of the schools and appliances. The painting of the school buildings has been satisfactorily carried out under the direction of two foremen who are employed for the purpose as occasion may require. Miscellaneous.—-Among the matters engaging attention during the past year are the revision of reading- and copy-books, the consideration of a motion to abolish the standard pass system, and of a report from the Chief Inspector (Mr. Petrie) on the subject of curtailing the present syllabus. A notice of appeal from one of the teaching staff was lodged against the Board under the provisions of the Teachers' Court of Appeal Act, but was subsequently abandoned, not, however, before considerable expense had been incurred in an application which the Board was compelled to make to the Supreme Court to prohibit a teacher and officer of the incorporated Institute from adjudicating upon the appeal. The Board has declined to accede to a request for the inspection of private schools in this district. The cordial relations hitherto subsisting between the School Committees and the Board have been maintained almost without exception, and the Board is glad to record its appreciation of their valued co-operation during the past year. The Hon. the Minister of Education. Richard Hobbs, Chairman.

TABANAKI. Sic,— New Plymouth, 4th March, 1899. 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, 1898. The Boaed.—The Board for the year consisted of Mr. Bauchope (Chairman), Miss Hey wood, Messrs. Allsworth, Adlam, Cutfield, Faull, McAilum, Mackay, and Wade. The Board held twenty-three ordinary meetings and one special meeting during the year. The members who were appointed to serve on the various committees have been diligent in their attendance, and have devoted much time to the service of the Board, more especially those who were on the selection and finance committees. Schools.—Schools have been opened at Uriti, Whangamomona, and Durham Boad during the year, thus bringing the number of schools in operation up to sixty-three. The two former are in new buildings provided by the Board, and the latter in a building provided by the settlers. Teachees.—The number of teachers in the service of the Board at the end of the year was 138 —47 males, 91 females—as against 133 at the end of 1897.' The result of the examination of pupil-teachers was more satisfactory than that of the previous year; twenty-three presented themselves for examination, and seventeen passed. Four of the failures were pupil-teachers in their first year.Attendance.—The number on the roll at the end of the year was 3,981, as against 3,845 at the end of 1897, an increase of 136. The appointment of Truant Inspectors appeals to have had a beneficial effect, as the average attendance shows a marked increase, it now having reached 80-8 per cent., which, considering that a great part of our district is sparsely settled, is satisfactory. Buildings.—New schools have been erected at Uriti, Whangamomona, and Dudley Boad, the latter to replace a temporary building provided by the settlers. A large addition was made to the Okato School building, a teacher's residence was erected at Toko, and a large sum was expended in repairing and repainting buildings. A new school is now being erected at Denbigh Boad, which will be paid for out of the special grant of last year for schools in newly settled districts. The question of providing residences continues to be a matter of great urgency with the Board, and it seems impossible to provide them out of the ordinary building grant; nothing but a special grant for this purpose will enable the Board to provide this necessary addition to our schools. Steatfoed District High School.—The results have proved that the Board was justified in converting the Stratford School into a district high school. The average number attending the classes for secondary subjects last year was twenty-one, and this year has opened with an attendance of twenty-four. Scholaeships.—The first examination under the new regulations was held during the year. Eleven candidates presented themselves in the junior division, and,seven obtained scholarships. Thirteen were examined in the senior division, and six obtained scholarships. Two features of this examination are worthy of notice: First, that the first and second places in the junior division were taken by pupils from small schools; and, second, that seven of the thirteen

c.—i

66

successful candidates were pupils attending the Stratford School. It may not be out of place to state here that Clara Taylor, Stratford, took second place in the examination for Queen's Scholarships in connection with the Victoria College, Wellington, and that Ada Powell, also of Stratford, took a high place in the same examination. Committees. —New school districts have been formed at Ngariki, Egmont Village, Durham Boad, and Dudley Boad, and Committees for these districts will be elected in due course. Finance.—The income of the Board from all sources, including £1,233 14s. 7d. balance on the 31st December, 1897, was £16,085 9s. 9d., and the expenditure £15,074 12s. 10d., leaving a credit balance of £1,010 16s. lid. Against this balance are liabilities which fully cover the same. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Bobebt G. Bauchope, Chairman.

REPORT ON THE DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL. Sir,— New Plymouth, 29th March, 1899. I have the honour to forward to you a report on the District High School, Stratford for the year 1898.

As this is the first year the District High School has been established, and as only eight of the pupils had been at secondary work for a full year, the progress on the whole has been very fair. Better educational results would, however, have been obtained had somewhat less work been attempted in some of the subjects, but prepared more thoroughly, to insure a good grounding in the elementary work, and a more rapid progress in the advanced work. I regret that three ex-pupils of the school who had been taking secondary subjects with the morning class did not present themselves for examination. I have, &c, The Chairman, Education Board. W. E. Spencee, Inspector.

WANGANUI. Sic, — Education Office, Wanganui, Ist March, 1899. In pursuance of the provisions of the Education Act, I have the honour to present the usual annual report of this Board for the year ending 31st December, 1898. Boaed.—The Board consists of Mr. George S. Bridge, of Wanganui, Chairman; Mr. James W.Baker, of Warrengate; Bey. John Boss, of Turakina; Mr. F. M. Spurdle, of Wanganui; Mr. B. C. Bobbins, of Hawera; Mr. Frederick Pirani, M.H.8., of Palmerston North; Mr. Frank Y. Lethbridge, M.H.8., of Feilding; Mr. Henry Sanson, of Bongotea; and Mr. Bobert A. Adams, of Patea. The Board has met once a month, and has been much assisted in the interim by the Building Committee and the Technical School Committee. There was also a special meeting of the Board in April for the purpose of receiving the Hon. the Minister of Education, who very courteously visited the Board at its invitation with some of the members for the coast, for the purpose of personally ascertaining the requirements of the district. Schools —The number of schools in operation in this district at the end of December, 1898, was 132. Those opened during the year were Komako, Orangipongo, Papanui, Wangaehu, and two half-time schools (counting as one), Marohema and Kaimoho, the five having an aggregate average attendance of sixty-nine and a roll-number of eighty-two pupils. Of the 132 schools in operation at the close of the year, eighty-five have an average attendance of under fifty pupils, and these are a continual drain upon the Board's funds, as they do not pay their way. The roll-number for the last quarter of the year was 10,205. Of this number, 238 are Maoris and half-castes attending thirty-two of the schools. The strict average attendance for the same period was 8,110, which gives a percentage of 79-47 of the roll. This is a fall of 175 as compared with the same period of last year, and is accounted for by sickness prevailing in the district. For the whole year, however, there was an increase of 0-81 as compared with last year. Teuant Inspection.—Beferring to the appointment of Truant Officers, which was mentioned in last year's report, the Board has been at some trouble in ascertaining how far their services have been effectual. It is, however, often difficult to estimate the real value of a Truant Officer's work. An epidemic of sickness will often seriously affect the attendance. The Truant Officers were appointed during the latter part of the year 1897, and the following table gives the percentage of attendance of the roll for each quarter from the beginning of 1896 to the end of 1898, and for the whole year;— Year First Second Third Fourth Whole Year lear Quarter. Quarter. Quarter. Quarter. vvnoie * ear ' 1896... ... 80-54 79-45 8001 78-82 79-70 1897... ... 78-34 8079 81-29 81-22 80-41 1898... ... 79-84 83-02 82-61 79-47 81-22 From this it will be seen that there is an average increase of 1-52 per cent, between 1896 and 1898 for the year. The Truant Officers complain that not only is "The School Attendance Act, 1894," defective in several particulars, but that the Magistrates, as a rule, lean towards the defendants. That truancy is a widespread evil is undoubted, and the Board would recommend that any defects in the School Attendance Act should receive the careful attention of Government in the event of any amendments being contemplated. Buildings and School Sites. —Many pressing calls have been made upon the Board during the year for schools in newly settled districts, but until advised of the allocation of the special vote in September last they were unable to take any action, and they were then hampered by the restriction that residences were not to be erected out of the vote. The Board desires to point out that in some newly settled districts a school without a teacher's residence would be useless, inasmuch as there is often no place for a teacher to live. Apart from this, also, the drain upon the General Account for house-allowance is becoming a very serious item. The principal contracts undertaken during the year were for new schools at Biverlea, Bangitoto, and Taihape; extensive additions to the schools at Hawera, Anderson Boad, Kawhatau, Matapu, Mangatoki, and Mangaweka. New residences were erected at Biverlea, Anderson Boad, Taihape, and Baetihi; and two small residences at Hurleyville and Alton ; and the Pihama residence, which was burnt down, has been re-erected. Bepairs, additions, and improvements have also been effected by the carpenter more or less all over the district, principally at Kelvin Grove, Awahuri, Mars Hill, Manaia, Kakaramea, Manutahi, Patea, Porewa, Wanganui Boys', Makino Boad, Terrace End, Ashurst, and Jackeytown. The Feilding School was, unfortunately, burnt down in December, and the pupils are now being taught in three different hired buildings, at a great inconvenience. The old building, which had been added to considerably from time to time during the past twenty-one years, and was very unsuitable for so large a school, was valued at £900 for insurance. According to she form of return made to the department the valuation was an estimate of the old building as it stood, and not the cost of a new one. A wooden building depreciates from year to year, and to enter the value of a new building upon a return requiring the value of an old one would be to make a false return. It is therefore manifestly impossible to erect a new building upon the insurance valuation of an old one. It is deemed necessary to point out these matters because the Board is asked from time to time to make a return of the estimated value, and not the cost, of its old buildings, as well as the new ones. Additional school sites have been procured at Longburn, Millburn (Kaitoke), and at Lytton Street, Feilding. The former was kindly transferred by the Wellington School Commissioners. The Millburn site was acquired by a grant of £1 for £1 on the cost to the settlers, and that at Feilding—3 acres —was purchased by the Board, and it is now treating for an addition to the Te Boti site. Technical Education. —There has been a very fair attendance at some of the classes in the Technical School, especially those conducted by the science master, and the Board hopes that the public may ere long appreciate the value of the art classes which are now open to them. For the work done at the school the Board begs to refer you to the Director's report. The inhabitants

E.—l

68

of Palmerston North collected and remitted to the Board the sum of £200 towards the cost of a technical school for that town. The Board promised £1 for £1 on this sum, and they understood that the Minister of Education would have subsidised this £400 by a grant of £1 for £1. That such has not been done is a great disappointment to the Palmerston people. The art classes are still conducted at Palmerston North by one of the assistant masters from the Wanganui Technical School, and it is now contemplated to establish classes upon the same basis at Hawera.* In connection with the Technical School, cooking classes have been held at the Wanganui Girls' School during the year. Teachees.—At the close of the year there were 288 teachers in the Board's employ, 148 being male and 140 female teachers. There are also thirty-four cadets, who are not counted on the staff of the schools, and do not receive any pay. ScHolaeships.—The annual competition for scholarships was held in December. In the senior division thirty-four candidates competed, twelve of whom qualified and twenty-two failed. Four scholarships were awarded to one girl and three boys. In the junior division thirty-eight candidates competed, and of these six qualified and thirty-two failed/ Four scholarships were awarded to one girl and three boys. The Trustees of the Wanganui Collegiate School and the Board of Governors of the Wanganui High School continue to give free tuition to all who qualify, but for whom scholarships are not available within the limits of the grant, as mentioned in last year's report. Pupil-teachebs.—The annual examination was held in the month of June. In the first class twenty-four candidates presented themselves, and of these seventeen passed (a girl heading the list) and seven failed. In the second class twenty-eight candidates were present, of whom twenty-two passed and six failed. In the third class forty candidates were present, of whom thirty-one passed and nine failed. The result of the examination, upon the whole, was deemed satisfactory. Finance.—The state of the Board's finances is far from being satisfactory as far as the Building Account is concerned. The General Account shows a credit balance of £1,783 195., with an asset of £158 due from the Bees bequest on account of the Technical School. The liabilities amount to £408 Bs. 6d., leaving a net credit balance of £1,533 10s. 6d. as at 31st December, 1898. In the balance-sheet the Building Account shows a credit balance of £3,718 3s. 6d., but of this sum £1,658 4s. is money especially granted by the department for schools in newly settled districts which have yet to be built, leaving a net available balance of £2,059 19s. 6d. But the return of assets and liabilities shows the following liabilities: Balance of amount due under contracts let, £2,564 Bs. Bd.; due on account of tenders ready and about to be advertised!-, £2,500 ; deposits on contracts, £142 2s. 6d.; balance required for Feilding School over and above the £900 insurance, £1,080 : making a total of £6,276 lis. 2d., thus leaving a balance of liabilities over assets of £4,216 lis. Bd. As the greatest economy has been observed by the Board in its expenditure, it would beg to direct the special attention of the Hon. the Minister of Education to the above statement. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. G. S. Beidge, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sib,— Wellington, 31st March, 1899. I have the honour to submit the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of Wellington for the year ended 31st December, 1898: — Boaed.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of Messrs. J. B. Blair (Chairman), F. Bradey, W. C. Buchanan, A. W. Hogg, W. W. McCardle, Dr. Newman, Bey. J. Paterson, J. Bobertson, J. Young. The three members who retired at the end of March were J. B. Blair, F. Bradey, and Dr. Newman, and Messrs. J. B. Blair, F. Bradey, and E. Feist were elected to fill the vacancies. Dr. Newman did not seek re-election. During the year thirteen meetings have been held. Schools. —At the end of the year there were 139 schools under the control of the Board, eighteen of these being subsidised to the extent of the statutory capitation grant. In addition to subsidy on average attendance, the Board furnishes aided schools and contributes towards cost of erection. Where buildings are provided the Board, in some instances, pays rent for the accommodation. Attendance. —The attendance for the year shows an increase of 401 on the books. The figures at the end of the different quarters were : — On Books. Average Attendance. March... ... ... ... ... ... 14,566 12,173 June ... ... ... ... ... ... 14,423 11,898 September ... ... ... ... ... 14,269 11,818 December ... ... ... ... .. 14,432 11,744 Teachebs. —The classification of the teaching staff in the Board's service shows: Heads of schools—male, 58; female, 11: sole teachers—male, 18; female, 56: assistants—male, 32; female, 65 : pupil-teachers—male, 19; female, 157. Buildings.—New schools have been provided at the following places: Makairo, Te Ore Ore, Wharau, Kahautara, Tauherenikau, South Featherston, Alfredton, Taita (to replace the buildings destroyed by fire), and Boseneath, and the Board has purchased the school building on the State Farm at Levin. Timber has been provided and contracts let for new schools at Kakariki and Mount Wolff, and for additions to the Pongaroa school. Additions have been made to the schools at Makakahi and Bintoul Street, and to the residences at Levin and Kereru. A contract has been let for a new school at Mangapakeha. The Vogeltown School has been removed to a more central position at Brooklyn. A site for a new school has been purchased at Island Bay, and contracts let for preparing it for a building equal to the requirements of the district. This, when erected, should relieve the pressure for additional accommodation at Bintoul Street. Additional land has been secured at Thorndon. Alterations and improvements have been made to the school buildings at Pahiatua, Makuri, Tinui, Mangamahoe, Wallaceville, Whiteman's Valley, Thorndon (caretaker's residence), Terrace, Clyde Quay, and Te Aro. A sum of money contributed for the purpose by the Wellington Industrial Association, together with the Government subsidy thereon, has enabled the Board to proceed with the erection of a new building at the back of its offices and Technical School. This will provide a large exhibition hall for industrial works, ample room for cookery classes, and several additional rooms for technical instruction. Contracts were let for painting at Petone, Tawa Flat, Kilbirnie, Mount Cook Girls', Mount Cook Infants', Clyde Quay, and Kaiwarra, and for additional latrines at Bintoul Street. At the beginning of the year the Building Account showed an overdraft of £6,243 6s. sd. Beside the Government grant of £5,000 for general expenditure on school buildings, special grants were made of £550 to replace buildings destroyed by fire, and £4,250 to meet the demand for schools in new special settlements; £250 was received for the old school property at Otaki, and £30 18s. 6d. for rents, &c, £1 12s. 2d. refund, and £7 Jps. forfeited deposit. The expenditure on account of buildings amounts to £7,128 12s. lid., made up as follows : New buildings, £3,286 os. lid.; additions and improvements, £2,525 19s. lOd. ; furniture and appliances, £304 Is. 3d.; sites, £534 ss. ; plans and supervision, £117 13s. In addition to these amounts a first progress payment of £500 has been made from the special technical extension fund (£3,000). Scholabships.—The annual scholarship examination was held in October at Otaki, Masterton, Pahiatua, and Wellington ; 169 candidates presented themselves, of whom fifty-eight in Class A, sixteen in Class B, ten in Class C, and eleven in Class D obtained half marks in English and arithmetic, thus qualifying for a place in the list of competitors. Tbuanct. —During the year the Truant Officer has interviewed 660 parents with regard to 806 truant children, and succeeded in enforcing compliance with the law without the need of Court proceedings except in twenty-five cases, in every one of which fines and costs were imposed. In no instance was a summons taken out until other persuasive means had failed. Technical Instbuction.—The director in this branch deals fully with the year's work in his annual report. Instruction in cookery is now given in the town and country schools. The classes throughout have been well attended, and the central school has maintained its reputation by obtaining the principal awards in connection with the science and art examinations of South Kensington. Pupil-teachees.—The report of the pupil-teacher examination held in December last indicates the great difficulties encountered by pupil-teachers who have to qualify themselves for promotion year by year at the time they are engaged in class work, and suggests that, where practicable, in the selection of candidates more attention should be given to the matter of literary equipment. The work done by the pupil-teachers as a whole is considered satisfactory; but the knowledge shown by junior candidates was in many instances far short of what might be expected. Two pupil-teachers, having failed for the second time to secure promotion, were called upon to retire in terms of the regulations. Of the 174 pupil-teachers in the Board's service, fifty-six are classified as ex-pupil-

E.—l

70

teachers, twenty-eight in the fifth year, seventeen in the fourth year, thirty-seven in the third year, fourteen in the second year, and twenty-two in the first year. Inspection.—The Inspector's annual report shows that at the time of the examinations there were 14,684 children on the books, an increase of 490 on the previous year. The total number of passes was 8,500, 89 per cent, on the number examined in standards, the high proportion of passes being again mainly due to the exceedingly good work of the large schools. The report refers to the useful work done by the Truant Officer, but points out that there is a widespread indifference on the part of parents to the need of regular attendance. It has been found impossible of late years to inspect annually a proportion of the more distant schools. The appointment of a third Inspector, Mr. F. H. Bakewell, M.A., will now remove that difficulty, and enable the staff to do full justice to the whole of the schools. Deill.—With a view to having efficient military drill taught in the various schools, the Board appointed Mr. T. W. McDonald drill-instructor, his duties being, where the attendance is sufficient, to organize and form companies, to give instruction in company and battalion drill, and form classes for the instruction of teachers. He will be required to give instruction in all the schools within easy access, but will not be called upon to visit the smaller schools in the outlying districts. Arrangements are to be made whereby the teachers of these schools will receive class instruction to enable them to teach drill thoroughly. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. B. Blaie, Chairman.

Schools.—Four new schools have been opened during 1898 —namely, Elsthorpe, Whetekura, Tokomaru, and Wakarau. The first two have teachers' residences, to meet the requirements of special settlement organized by the Government. Through misrepresentations of the residents in these two settlements, and from some of them selling their sections, the Board was led to provide somewhat larger schools than were necessary, which will have the effect of making the Board more cautious in erecting buildings elsewhere. The Tokomaru School is an aided school. In such cases the Board agree to pay £4 10s. per head on average attendance and provide school apparatus, while the settlers find a building and guarantee to pay what is necessary to make the teacher's salary £80 per annum. Wakarau School is an itinerant school, the first of the kind established in Hawke's Bay Education District. It is hoped this school will meet the wants of a large and thinly populated district. Additions have been made to Ormondville, Papakura, Petane, Taradale, Te Arai, Te Karaka, and Weber School buildings, and extensive repairs and alterations have been made in several of the schools in the district. School Committees.—lt is a source of pleasure to be able again to report that the most cordial relations exist between the Board and the School Committees. The Board hopes that the School Committees will continue to exercise careful supervision over the school properties. A little attention from the Committees in this direction saves great expense to the Board. The Board has also to thank the Committees generally for the attention given by them to aid the Board in carrying out its duties. The work constantly grows in extent. There are now seventy school districts under the Board. Scholabships.—There are forty-one scholarship-holders from the public schools attending the Napier High School and Gisborne District High School. Four of the scholarships were of the value of £50 per annum each, eight of £30 4s. each, three of £12 45., one of £17, and twenty-five of £10 4s. The larger scholarships are granted to children from the country districts. 'The whole expenditure amounted to £750 45., a portion of which is provided by the School Commissioners. Only two scholarship-holders resigned during the year. Sewing.—This branch of school work has been well taught, and the report of the lady examiners was very favourable. As the new sewing regulations lately passed by the Education Department do not provide for the making of garments, the yearly examinations held, by which all the schools were brought into competition, will have to be discontinued. This the Board regrets, as the yearly sewing examination led to competition amongst the different schools, with a good result. Pupil-teachebs.—New pupil-teachers' regulations have been carefully prepared during the year. These have been sanctioned by the Minister of Education, and will be put into force in the month of July. It is hoped they will prove satisfactory. Technical Education. —In the matter of technical education the Board has not been able to take any action. However, anxious the members may be to assist in such work, the providing of school accommodation for the many outlying districts which are constantly pressed upon their attention puts consideration of it out of their reach, the claims of new districts also being a constantly increasing charge upon the school fund. The Board are of opinion that some special and more adequate provision must be'made by the Government to enable Education Boards to properly organize the conduct of technical classes. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. David Sidey, Chairman.

REPORT ON GISBORNK DISTRIOT HIGH SCHOOL (JUNIOR DIVISION). Master in Charge : Mr. E. W. Mann, B.A. Syllabus of Instruction. —Arithmetic : General. Algebra : Hamblin Smith's, to simple quadratics. Euclid: Book 1., with easy exercises. English: (a) Shakespeare's "Macbeth"—general knowledge of play, identification of extracts, description of scenes, character, paraphrasing ; (6) Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner"; (c) Milton's " Paradise Lost." Science: Elementary mechanics, Stage I. French : Macmillan's First French ; French Class-book, pages 1-64 and 94-97. Latin : Principia, Part 1., exercises 1-53 ; grammar and vocabulary ; gradatim exercises, 1-100. All the pupils in the upper division enter for matriculation. The fourteen candidates in the lower division are of unequal merit, and several of them are comparatively weak. The first five candidates have sent in good average papers, and much of their work —notably in arithmetic and algebra—is of a high order of merit. The average marks obtained by the whole division in arithmetic and Euclid are somewhat lower than in previous years. In Euclid the definitions were imperfectly known and understood, and not a single attempt was made to answer the simple exercise No. 9. Ten out of fifteen questions set were taken to represent full marks in arithmetic, but some of the candidates did very poorly in this subject. The English papers were fairly done, but the pupils did not express themselves with the freedom shown by last year's pupils in questions where the pupil's own individuality was required. Science shows very fair preparation. There were no papers really poor, and the majority varied between very fair and good. In Latin and French the same remarks are applicable. The easier portions of the grammar are known, but there is a weakness in the verbs, and the translation in some instances may be described as " free" rather than "literal." In spite of these defects, however, the progress for a first-year course may be set down as good, and above the average usually reached by first-year pupils. The papers generally are neatly done, but some of the writing is very difficult to read, and needs more careful attention. Altogether the results give evidence of a year's good progress, and the first five candidates deserve special credit for the satisfactory character of all their papers. H. Hill, 8.A., F.G.S., Inspector of Schools.

MAELBOBOUGH. Sib,— Blenheim, 30th March, 1899. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year ended the 31st December, 1898. The Board at the beginning of the year consisted of the following persons : The Hon. W. D. H. Baillie, M.L.C., Thomas Carter, John Clervaux Chaytor, John Duncan, Bichard McCallum, C. H. Mills, M.H.8., Joseph Henry Bedwood, Arthur Penrose Seymour, and Harry Fleetwood Thompson. Owing to a misunderstanding, no nominations were received from the Committees for the election of three members in place of those retiring by rotation at the end of March. The Board therefore, in accordance with section 13, subsection (8), of "The Education Act, 1877," elected the retiring members Twelve meetings of the Board were held during the year, the average attendance of members being 6-16. Schools. —Sixty-five schools have been in operation during the year. . Three of these were temporarily closed before the end of the year, the number returned as open during the last quarter being sixty-two. Of these, only eighteen had an average attendance of twenty-five and upwards, and as many as thirty-eight were schools with less than fifteen scholars in average attendance. The large proportion of small aided schools in the district has been repeatedly referred to in former reports, and it has been again and again pointed out how heavily the district is handicapped by the circumstance, and as frequently appeals have been made to the Minister for some consideration on this account. In the twenty-first annual report, page vi., Table J, may be found the most convincing evidence of the unique and exceptional difficulties under which the district labours in consequence of the necessity for supporting so many small schools From the table quoted it will be seen that the mean average attendance per school in Marlborough is 299, by far the lowest in New Zealand, the next lowest (Westland) having 38-3, while, with the exception of Auckland, Marlborough shows the largest number pi schools having under fifteen pupils ; but in that district there were forty-four such schools out of 338, while here there were thirty-six out of sixty-one. In other words, 13 per cent, of the Auckland schools and 59 per cent, of the Marlborough schools are of this kind. But still plainer proofs of the disabilities under which this district suffers will be found in every page of the Minister's report, Table No. 8. It will be found that, as a rule, schools having a lower average attendance than fifty cause a loss to the Boards; that is, the cost of salaries and maintenance (exclusive of building and extensive repairs) exceeds the amount of the capitation earned. Now, in Marlborough there are only nine schools having an average attendance of fifty or upwards, and four of these actually cost more than they receive from capitation. Taking the figures given in the Minister's report for 1897 (page vi.), the schools in each district having more than fifty pupils can be expressed as a percentage of the total number of schools as follows, the districts being set down in the order of their magnitude, as shown by the number of schools : Auckland, 27 per cent. ; Otago, 40 per cent.; Nerth Canterbury, 38 per cent.; Southland, 29 per cent.; Wellington, 366 per cent.; Wanganui, 39 per cent.; Nelson, 25 per cent.; Hawke's Bay, 44 per cent.; South Canterbury, 32 per cent. ; Marlborough, 16 per cent. ; Taranaki, 25 per cent. ; Westland, 18 per cent.; Grey, 27 per cent. In the Marlborough District, of the twenty largest schools there are only seven that earn more than they receive. The total profit on these schools is £765 10s., and the loss on the remaining thirteen amounts to £270 95., so that the net amount of receipts over expenditure in these twenty schools is £495. This is the entire fund out of which the unavoidable loss on the remaining forty-five small

73

E.-i

aided and household schools has to be met, besides the general expenses of the district as a whole. As a further illustration of the immense advantage enjoyed by the larger districts, it may be seen from the report above mentioned (on pages 12, 13, 14, and 15) there are fourteen schools in and about Auckland at which the capitation earned exceeds the total expenditure (exclusive of buildings) by the handsome sum of £10,591, or nearly £1,700 more than the entire revenue of this Board for the same year. Auckland is taken merely because it stands first on the list. A similar comparison would doubtless hold good with North Canterbury, Otago, and Wellington. It is not intended to intimate that the grants to these important districts are in the smallest degree excessive, or that they could be materially reduced without serious injury; but what must be evident to any impartial person is that the small districts are at immense disadvantage, and should receive a more liberal capitation than the larger. It cannot be said that the salaries paid in Marlborough are excessive ; on the contrary, I am sorry to say they are amongst the lowest in the colony. Neither are the expenses of management greater in proportion to revenue than is inevitable in a small district. As a proof of the Board's desire to transact its business in as economical a manner as possible, I may remind the Government of the fact that for the last twenty-two years this Board has rendered its services gratuitously, not a single shilling having been paid as travelling-expenses to members, notwithstanding that some of them have had to travel a considerable distance every month to attend to their duties. Now, as the average amount charged for travelling-expenses of members in the five districts in which such expenses are charged (in the report quoted) is £117 3s. Bd., the Board may fairly claim to have saved the department the respectable sum of £2,578 during the twenty-two years that have elapsed since the passing of the Act. Attendance.—The average weekly roll for the year 1898 was 2,162-5 and the (working) average attendance for the same period was 1,76475 —about 81-6 per cent., or 1 per cent, less than in 1897, and to the same extent below the average of the colony for that year. This would appear to indicate a slight though doubtless temporary decrease both in the roll-number and the average attendance. Taking into consideration the frequent occurrence of various epidemics (which nowadays seem to cause so much more apprehension than formerly), together with the influence of the weather in some parts of the colony, the percentage of attendance on the whole is quite satisfactory, and is not likely to be greatly increased by the School Attendance Act. The children who are not on the roll of any school are those that require looking up, and this cannot be satisfactorily done excepting by the police, who are not now allowed to act as Truant Officers under the Boards. Buildings.—Commencing the year with a debit balance of £1,406 14s. Bd. on Building Account, it is not surprising that the Board's expenditure on this account has been very limited. The Board took advantage of a favourable opportunity to purchase four acres of land close to the Springlands School, with a good house upon it; and, by selling two acres of it, the actual cost to the Board was somewhat less than the cost of erecting a similar building would have been, so that the land practically cost the Board nothing. Advantage was also taken to enlarge the school grounds at Blenheim—which are very confined in area for so large a school—by the purchase of another contiguous allotment; and when this additional area shall have been cleared and rendered fit for the purpose a very respectable playground will be available for the 570 children belonging to this school. The purchase of a small but suitable building, with the surrender of one acre of the seller's leasehold round the same, for the moderate sum of £35, has provided accommodation for several families at Mahau Sounds. These expenses, together with repairs, and addition to furniture and appliances, amounting, in the aggregate, to £805 4s. 3d., leave the Building Account in debt to the General Account to the amount of £1,623 6s. lid. ; and, for the first time in the history of the Board's transactions, there is, on the whole, a small debit balance. The Board desires to thank the Minister for granting an advance of the building vote at a time when the funds were at a very low ebb, and an overdraft loomed ominously in the near future. As the Board's accounts show, the building vote was practically exhausted before it was received. Shobthand.— -Classes for instruction in this useful art were established, under the provisions of the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, at Blenheim and Benwick, and have been highly appreciated. The number of scholars on the rolls for the year, at the two centres, was seventy-one, and the average attendance was 598; and it was with the greatest regret that the Board received a circular from the department notifying the discontinuance of the grant for this subject at the end of the year. Much as the Board would like to avail itself of the provisions of the Act in other directions, the expense attending the. establishment of almost any other class is quite beyond its means, which are already insufficient for the ordinary requirements of the district. At the time of writing the Board is in receipt of a report from two independent " experts," who were asked to examine these classes with the object of ascertaining the amount of progress made by the scholars, and the report was of so encouraging a nature that the regret of the Board at the cessation of the grant (without which the subject must be dropped) has been greatly increased. Several of the Board's teachers have been students in these classes, with the intention of qualifying themselves to teach the subject, if required, in the schools. Pupil-teachees.—The number of pupil-teachers at present in the service of the Board is thirteen, all females. There is no difficulty in obtaining any number of girls for these positions, but it is very difficult to induce boys to offer themselves. There is not at the present moment a solitary male pupil-teacher in the service of the Board. The reason is to be found not so much in the small remuneration which the Board can offer them as in the fact" that, when their term of service expires, they have but little chance of promotion outside their own small district. The number of pupil-teachers employed by the Board is regulated not by the prospective demands for teachers in the district, but by the exigencies of a cramped financial position, which compels the Board to avail itself of the "cheap labour" of these young persons, although, when their term of service expires, there is very little prospect of their promotion to more remunerative positions.

E.—l

74

Much of this might easily be amended if the department would only do what is (logically) a part of its duty —viz., take upon itself the examination and classification of the pupil-teachers, as it does in the case of all other teachers. This would place pupil-teachers in all parts of the colony on absolutely the same footing as regards eligibility for appointment at the end of their apprenticeship, to say nothing of other advantages, which will readily suggest themselves to those acquainted with the varying systems of instruction and training now obtaining in different parts of the colony. This is one of the reforms that have been recommended time after time for the last twenty years by Boards, teachers, Institute, and others, but it has never (apparently) met with the approbation of the department. Scholabships.—There are now five scholarships current, two of these being mainly supported by the School Commissioners, who have undertaken to contribute four-fifths of the (present) cost of one scholarship annually. The number of scholarships will probably be increased and their value (in money) reduced when the arrangements now pending for the establishment of a high school in Blenheim are completed. High School.—The Legislature having granted £400 to the Marlborough School Commissioners as an endowment for a high school in Marlborough, and that body having agreed with the Board as to the best means of utilising the grant, it has been resolved to convert the Blenheim School into a district high school, under section 55 of the Act. This, however, is only a temporary expedient, and it is hoped that the Legislature will take the peculiar circumstances of Marlborough into consideration, and grant a permanent provision, by endowment, for the maintenance of a high school proper, to compensate—though late in the day—for the injustice suffered by the Marlborough District with regard to educational endowments at the separation from Nelson in 1859. Committees.—The relations between the Board and the School Committees have been throughout the year of a most cordial description, and, as it is the constant endeavour of the Board to meet their wishes in everything that comes within the scope of their duties, there is no reason to expect that any serious conflict of authority is likely to arise. The Board is pleased to notice in the Inspector's report that the Committees have endeavoured to increase the attractiveness of the school grounds by the planting of trees, and, with the assistance of the teachers, have encouraged the cultivation of little garden-plots by the children. In these and in other ways much good has been done by the Committees, to whom the Board offers its hearty thanks for their invaluable co-operation in the interest of education. The Late Inspectoe-Genebal. — The Board cannot conclude this report without some reference to the great loss the cause of education has suffered in the lamented decease of the late William James Habens. The deceased gentleman may really be described as the foster-father of the education system of New Zealand, as the Hon. C. C. Bowen may be styled its father. Although the experience of more than twenty years and the onward march of educational improvement have rendered necessary some amendments of the system, the colony is none the less indebted to him who has gone for the many excellencies which distinguished and still do distinguish it. His unremitting devotion to his duty, his invariable impartiality, and his constant courtesy to all, even to the very humblest, who had occasion to approach him officially, are universally acknowledged and affectionately remembered, and the Board is of opinion that some permanent record of the appreciation of his labours in the great cause of education should be set up amongst us. The 3,600 teachers of New Zealand would doubtless be glad to contribute, say, on the average, 2s. 6d. each, to supplement other subscriptions from the general public for the same object, and a small vote from Parliament might increase the amount to a sum sufficient to endow a scholarship, which should perpetuate the memory of the first administrator of the system which, with all its faults, has obtained so firm a hold on the affections of the people. The Board commends this suggestion to the consideration of the Minister. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. A. P. Seymoub, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib,— Education Office, Nelson, 16th March, 1899. 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 1898. Membebs op the Boaed. —At the annual election of three members of the Board in March the retiring members were Messrs. Talbot, Beuke, and Colvin. The last-named gentleman, who, being a resident of Westport, especially represented the West Coast portion of the education district, did not offer himself for re-election, and Messrs. Talbot, Beuke, and Thomas Bailie, of Westport, were elected unopposed. The following gentlemen now form the Board, viz. : Messrs. George Talbot (Chairman), William Henry Phillips, jun., William Norris Franklyn, William Lock, Philip Best, Andrew Thomas Maginnity, John Deidrich Beuke, Thomas John Baigent, and Thomas Bailie. Meetings op Boaed. — During the year the Board has held twelve monthly and thirteen adjourned meetings, the average attendance at each meeting being eight. Schools. —At the end of the past year 120 schools were at work, inclusive of thirty-six aided and household schools. Four new schools were opened, one was closed, and the boys' and girls' schools at Lower Wakefield were amalgamated, making a net increase of two in the number of schools at work at the end of the year as compared with those open at the end of the previous year. School Disteicts. —New school districts have been constituted at Bainham, Burnett's Face, Inangahua Junction, Motueka Valley, and Summerlea. There are now sixty-five school districts within the Education District of Nelson. Attendance of Scholaes. —The average weekly number on the roll during the past year was 6,016-5, while during the year 1897 it was 6,082, showing a decrease of 655 for the year. The strict average attendance during the past year was 4,8255, the working average being 4,92675. The corresponding figures for the previous year were : Strict average, 4,895-25 ; working average, 4,999, a decrease of 6975 and 7275 respectively, and this notwithstanding the opening of the new schools referred to above. Westpoet Disteict High School. —The establishment of a district high school for Westport having been approved by the department, subject to certain conditions which were accepted by the Board, a new building has been erected, in which the work of secondary education is to be carried on, and arrangements were made for the opening of the school on the Ist February, 1899. The whole of the Westport Schools have been amalgamated and placed under the charge of Mr. Frederick Neve, M.A., with an efficient staff, Mr. D. A. Strachan, M.A., being appointed first assistant master in charge of the classes on secondary subjects. It is hoped that the success of the school in the future will justify the radical change effected and the large expenditure involved. New Buildings.—New schools have been erected at Millerton and Motueka Valley, and a teacher's house has been built at Central Takaka. A new school has also been erected at Pokororo in place of the one destroyed by fire, and such portions of the Beefton School as were destroyed by the fire there have been rebuilt. The upkeep of the numerous wooden buildings is a great charge on the Board's funds, no less a sum than £549 9s. having been expended under this head during the past year. Bcaed's Funds.—The Board began the year with a credit balance on General Account of £965 3s. 7d., with liabilities £128 Bs. 3d., while at the end of the year.the balance to credit of that account was but £702 ss. lid., and the liabilities were £165 14s. On Building Account the credit balance at the beginning of the year was £831 Bs. 2d., the liabilities being £1,060 10s. At the close of the year the balance to credit of Building Account was £1,497 lis. 3d., the liabilities being £1,594 18s. sd. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Geobge Talbot, Chairman.

GBEY. Sic,— Education Office, Greymouth, 25tb March, 1899. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Grey Education Board for the year 1898. The Boaed. —The Board consisted of Messrs. John Byrne, John Flynn, S. B. Harris, Hon. James Kerr, W. B. Kettle, J. Marshall, B. McGuire, Joseph Petrie, and F. White. During the year the Board has held twelve regular meetings. Schools.—There were thirty 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 seventeen males and forty-four females, or a total of sixty-one. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December. Ten pupil-teachers were examined ; eight of these qualified for a higher grade, and two failed. Scholabships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held in December. For the four scholarships, two town and two country, there were twenty-one competitors, six from the Greymouth District High School and fifteen from the country. Finance. —At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a credit balance of £318 18s. 4d. The amount expended during the year was £876 Is. Bd. The Board's General Account at the close of the year showed a debit balance of £262 Os. 4d. This was owing to bad attendance during a part of the year, and to the great cost of maintaining many of the small schools in sparsely populated districts. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Joseph Peteie, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sib, — Education Office, 10th January, 1899. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1898. The Boaed. —As in the previous two years, the membership of the Board has suffered no change, the retiring members, Messrs. Chesney, Hudson, and Smith, being re-elected in March. At the first meeting in April the following reappointments were made : Mr. McWhirter, Chairman ; Mr. Chesney, Treasurer; Mr. Grimmond, School Commissioner ; and Mr. Michel, representative on the Hokitika High School Board. During the year the Board has held one special and twelve ordinary meetings. Schools. —During the year thirty-six schools have been in operation, including a new school at Kanieri Forks. At the end of the year thirty-four were open, household schools at Waiatoto and Taipo having been closed. The classes devoted to secondary education in connection with the Hokitika and Kumara District High School, consisted, at the time of the Board's examination, of twenty-one and ten pupils respectively, each class being very successful. The latter has been discontinued from the beginning of 1899, owing to the insufficiency of the numbers attending. The class for manual instruction ' connected with the Kumara School has been conducted efficiently during the year, as a separate report by the Inspector will show. In the last annual

E.—J

report the following sentence occurs: "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." The Board regrets that in no other school district have steps been taken to secure the benefits of manual training. Attendance.—The total roll-number for the district on the 31st December was 1,397. The average attendance for the year was 84 per cent, of the average roll-number. There is a slight fall in this proportion, but it is more disquieting to find that the roll-number of the district has experienced so great a reduction during the year. The effect on the financial position of the Board is grave, and serious consideration of the matter will be necessary in the near future. Teachees. —The number of teachers under the Board at the end of the year was sixty-two, including eleven head teachers, twenty-three sole teachers, fifteen assistants, eleven pupil-teachers, one monitor, and one sewing-mistress. Scholabships.—During the year there have been ten scholarships in force. In December thirty-four candidates presented themselves for examination, and scholarships of £23, £15 10s., and £8 18s. respectively, tenable for two years' have been granted. Finance.—During the year £559 lis. 6d. has been expended in the Building Fund, and at the end of the year £499 9s. 3d. was in credit. This includes a special grant of £300 for certain districts and not yet expended. Engagements have, however, been entered into that will absorb a very large portion of the balance, the most important being the erection of a school at Jackson. The serious fall in the numbers attending the schools, already referred to, has greatly reduced the Board's income in connection with the General Account without diminishing the expenditure to an equal extent. The result is a deficiency in the year's operations of £97 Bs. 3d., and the account closes with a debit balance of £15 9s. Bd. Economy in every direction, including a rigid adherence to the regulations in the allotment of staffs, will be very necessary during the year 1899. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister for Education. J. McWhieteb, Chairman.

REPORTS ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Hokitika (Secondaby Class). This class is comprised of twenty-one pupils, who are distributed as follows : Fourth year, one ; third year, two ; second year, six; first year, twelve. With the exception of four pupils that for special reasons omitted Latin, all were presented in the six compulsory subjects—English, Latin, Euclid, arithmetic, algebra, and geography. In addition, a majority secured satisfactory marks in chemistry, and one pupil good marks in French. The pupils of the second, third, and fourth years all obtained very satisfactory average marks, only one failing to reach 80 per cent. It is not to be expected that large percentages will be secured in the first year, but it is very satisfactory to find that all the junior pupils have recorded an average of 50 per cent., three reaching 80 per cent. It is hardly necessary to add that the various subjects have been well prepared, and that the class has again recorded a most successful year's work. It is a matter of regret that no pupils have presented themselves for the matriculation examination of the present year. Several are quite ready for such a test, but the absence of any apparent practical benefit, the excessive fee charged (£2 25.), and the fact that the examination is not held in Hokitika, deter parents from securing a valuable record of the work done. The following pupils have been successful in the examinations stated up to the 31st December, 1898 :— Matriculation, New Zealand University. —B. W. Watson, F. W. Furkert, G. C. Bodda, Honora Crowley (twice), P. J. Kelly, Minnie Potts (twice), Ada J. Dwyer (twice), J. C. Malfroy, Johanna Crowley, W. Mcintosh, E. Fitzgibbon (Junior University Scholarship examination, with credit), E. C. J. Clarke, T. V. Mackay.

Senior Civil Service. —E. J. Fitzgibbon. Kumaba (Secondaby Class). This class consists of ten pupils, of whom eight have been connected with it for about two years, and two for one year. Two were absent during the examination owing to illness. All those present had prepared the syllabus in all compulsory subjects, the instruction in algebra, Euclid, arithmetic, and geography being under the direction of the headmaster, and English and Latin under that of the first-assistant master, who also had charge of the optional subjects—chemistry (nine pupils) and French (one pupil) —with success. All the pupils examined, with one exception, exceeded 70 per cent, in the average percentage of total marks. The highest results obtained were those of two pupils with 95 and 91 per cent, respectively ; it is therefore evident that in all subjects the instruction has been very efficient. Although the course adopted in Latin, Euclid, and algebra was beyond the requirements of the syllabus appointed, the preparation has been thorough, and a very successful year's work must therefore be recorded. Of the ten pupils attending the class seven have presented themselves at the matriculation examination, and this is further evidence of the interest of all concerned in the work of the class. The following pupils have been successful in the examinations stated: — Matriculation (to December, 1897). —E. M. Stark, A. P. Owens. Junior Civil Service. —A. P. Owens (2nd place), E. Stark, W. Lamason. A. J. Moeton, Inspector.

NOBTH CANTEBBUBY. Sic,— Christchurch, Ist March, 1899. 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, 1898. The Boabd. —The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March were Mr. Hardy, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. Westenra. At a meeting held on the 30th March the Board placed on record its sense of the loss sustained by the retirement of Mr. Westenra, who did not offer himself for re-election. Mr. Hardy, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. M. Dalziel, jun., were returned to fill the vacancies. At a meeting held on the 7th April Mr. Saunders was elected Chairman for the ensuing year. During the year the Board held eighteen meetings, while the Buildings Committee met eighteen times, the Appointments Committee forty-one times, and the Normal School Committee thirteen times; in all, ninety meetings for the year. The Boaed's Bepbesentatives.—Mr. A. Orr and Mr. D. Williamson were re-elected as members of the Ashburton High School Board, and Mr. G. H. Saxton and Mr. H. Boyd were reappointed members of the Akaroa and Bangiora High School Boards respectively. School Distbicts. —The number of school districts at the end of the year in which school work has been carried on was 172. School Buildings.—Early in the year the erection of a side school at Hinds, of additions to Mackenzie and Hornby Schools, and of teachers' houses at Burwood and Waltham—all authorised about the close of 1897 —was completed. During the latter portion of the year a new school was also built at Ellesmere; and at the date of this report a large infant school, required for the new settlement round the freezing factory at Belfast, and teachers' houses at Highbank, Bushside, Doyleston, and Babbit Island, have either been finished or are nearing completion. Substantial repairs or improvements have been effected to many buildings. The number of schools in operation at the close of the year was 202, of which sixteen were aided schools. During the quarter ending the 30th June an aided school was opened at Big Bay, Kaituna; and in December the Lismore District School, which for some time previously had been regarded as an aided school, was placed on its old footing. The total expenditure on buildings during the year was £5,529 12s. sd. Maintenance.—The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances during the year amounted to £55,390 3s. lid., and the grants to School Committees, with the usual incidental allowances, to £6,933 lis. Id., reaching a total of £62,323 15s. The working average for the year was 17,545, but the average for the four quarters commencing with December quarter of 1897 — on which, in accordance with the usual custom, payments were actually made—was 17,684. The cost per head of teachers' salaries, Sec, was consequently nearly £3 2s. Bd., and the entire cost of maintenance, including all incidental expenditure, approximately £3 10s. 6d. per head. The following table shows the expenditure in salaries and incidentals for each year from 1878 inclusive [not all reprinted] : — „ Salaries. Incidentals. Totals. lear ' £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d. 1878 ... ... 31,919 0 0 6,276 6 9 38,195 6 9 1888 ... ... 50,749 14 6 6,400 7 5 57,150 6 3 1898 ... ... 55,390 3 11 6,933 11 1 62,323 15 0 The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1898 (besides thirty-two sewing-mistresses) was 536. Of these, 232 (149 males and 83 females) were heads of schools or

E.—l. ■

departments or in sole charge, 175 (36 males a»d 139 females) were assistants, and 129 (37 males and 92 females) were pupil-teachers. The following table gives the number of schools, the 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 n -p ~ Average p . 31st December.

Full information upon the work of the training department is given in the Principal's report, which is appended. Scholabships.—The annual examinations for scholarships were held on the 19th December and following days. The number of competitors for the junior scholarships was 109 (sixty-eight boys and forty-one girls), fewer by sixty-seven and twenty-four compared with 1896 and 1897 respectively. Eighteen candidates entered in the senior class, being seven less than in the previous year. Of the 109 competitors for the junior scholarships, fifty-nine came from schools defined in the Board's regulations as town schools, and fifty from country schools; four scholarships were secured by the first class of schools, and nine by country schools, but seven candidates of the latter class required the year's advantage in age. The Gammack scholarship offered at the close of 1897 was awarded to Miss Mabel Connon, an old scholarship winner under the Board, and at one time a pupil in the Kaikoura Town Public School. Of the candidates that competed at the close of 1898, Mr. Frederick Kissel has secured the highest number of marks, and he will therefore be awarded the scholarship then offered as soon as the official return is available. Mr. Kissel is another candidate whose primary course was gone through at one of the Board's schools (Templeton), from which he entered the Boys' High School on one of the Board's ordinary scholarships. Manual and Technical Insteuction. —The manual-training classes at the Normal School have been continued throughout the year. The work of both teachers and boys has been good; but, compared with the previous year, there has been a large decrease in the numbers attending, pointing to the conclusion that, whatever interest the novelty of the instruction aroused on the initiation of the classes, the advantages to be derived from the instruction are not so generally appreciated as was anticipated. It must be remembered, however, that the classes have not yet been brought into close touch with the bulk of the Board's teachers, or in reach of the majority of the schools in this district. At Leeston, in addition to instruction in woodwork, cookery classes have been established, which promise good results, as also do those started with the same object at Amberley by local effort. So far the Board's applications to the Government for the means to establish technical schools at the several centres have failed to obtain that favourable consideration which was expected to result from the action of the House of Eepresentatives when, at the close of the 1897 session, it passed such a substantial vote for the purposes of technical instruction. The following table shows the number of teachers and boys that attended at the Normal. School for manual instruction during each quarter, with the number of classes : — „ m . Number of Number of Number of m. . Quarter or Term commencing Clasges> Teaoherg . Boys . Total.

The first Truant Officer employed by the Board has. under the instructions of the Board, proceeded with great forbearance and good judgment, yet the resistance of some of the offending parents has been so violent that the officer has not escaped even from personal assaults ; but his chief difficulty has arisen from the extreme reluctance of the Magistrates to put the law in force, and their positive refusal, even in the worst of cases, to inflict anything like a deterrent punishment. The following table gives the number of cases, at their different stages, dealt with by the Truant Officer during the year :— Notices delivered to parents or guardians ... ... ... ... 736 Summonses served ... ... ... ... ... ... 284 Fines imposed ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 197 Orders of the Court obtained ... ... ... ... ... 8 Dismissals ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 20 Withdrawals ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 An examination of the table showing average attendance discloses a feature of some importance which unfavourably affects the financial position of the Board. The total number of children on the rolls on the 31st December, 1890, was 21,240, and the number at the end of 1898 only 20,618, a

12— E. 1,

decrease of no less than 622; while the number of schools to be maintained by the Board has increased from 163 in 1890 to 202 in 1898, being an increase of thirty-nine. As there has been no corresponding decrease in the population, the causes that have produced this increased expenditure and diminished income must be sought elsewhere. And here it is satisfactory in a political sense to know that the principal cause has been the more widely distributed population in the pursuit of agriculture, which has compelled the Board to follow the settlers with schools into districts previously occupied by merino sheep. Another cause has been the opening of denominational schools in the larger country centres of population, which have somewhat diminished the attendance at the Board's schools without lessening the required number of schools, and very rarely, if ever, reducing the number of teachers. Yet a third cause unfavourably affecting the average attendance during the last two years has been the prevalence of measles, which has been so general as not only to lower the average attendance, and consequently to lessen the whole capitation grant, but in many cases to increase the expenditure of the Board by the necessary employment of relieving teachers to take the place of those affected by the epidemic. Apart from these disturbing causes, it will be seen from the same table that there has been during the whole period that the present Education Act has been in operation a very satisfactory and steady increase in the daily attendance as compared with the roll-number, ranging from a percentage of 7383 in 1878 to 8505 in 1897. Such a record may safely be accepted as a pleasing evidence both of the increasing efficiency and the growing popularity of the Board's teachers and schools. Teachebs' Appointments. — Early in May last a well-considered and valuable letter was received from the North Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute, suggesting some important alterations in the system adopted by the Board in the appointment of teachers. The most important practical recommendations were that the Board should make a better use of its official acquaintance with its teachers' work, and discourage canvassing as far as possible, by selecting in no case more than six of the best applicants for a vacancy, and by sending the selected names to the School Committees arranged in order of merit. After careful consideration both of these suggestions were recommended by the Appointments Committee and adopted by the Board, as being more fair to its best teachers and more helpful to the Committees in making their selection by the advice of the Board rather than by the solicitation of the candidates. This alteration has worked well, and has led to some very satisfactory appointments, but should be now followed by a discontinuance of the practice of sending to the School Committees the names of those candidates who have not been selected by the Board, but who may nevertheless be teachers of high merit, who should suffer no suspicion of reproach from the mere fact that the competition in any particular case was too formidable for them to succeed. Examination and Inspection op Denominational Schools.—ln February, 1898, the Board very carefully took into consideration, and very fully debated, an application from the Very Bey. Father Cummings, Vicar-General of the Boman Catholic Church in New Zealand, requesting the Board to appoint and employ Inspectors to examine and inspect the denominational schools under his direction, with the result that the Board decided that the request was one that could not be granted. To the majority of the Board it appeared to be altogether anomalous that Inspectors appointed and paid by the Board should be employed to either examine or inspect denominational schools, and to report either to the denominational authorities, who are not their employers, or to their employers, who have no voice or interest whatever in the management or control of such institutions. But, apart from this self-evident anomaly, the payment of Inspectors to examine or inspect denominational schools would be a violation of the present Education Act, and the very heavy responsibility of their selection for such a purpose a task for which the Board is in no way qualified and in no way authorised by its constituents to perform. But, as the Government require an official educational certificate as a qualification for certain positions in its service, the Board considered it desirable that every facility should be given for that purpose to the pupils of any private or denominational schools, without any interference with such schools, or without any special or separate examination. With this object in view, the Board, at its meeting on the 11th May, unanimously resolved to instruct its Inspectors to give not less than seven days' notice of the date upon which they proposed to examine any State school which might be the nearest to any private 'or denominational school or schools, the Secretary of the Board, on receiving such notice, to forthwith inform the person or persons in charge of such private or denominational school or schools that they can on that date send any candidates for a pass either in the Fourth or Sixth Standard, to be examined by the Board's Inspectors under precisely the same terms and conditions as those applied to the scholars of the State schools ; and the Inspectors of the Board were authorised and instructed to receive all such scholars as might present to them a written request from the manager or principal teacher of such schools, and, after due examination, to forward to such manager or teacher a duly signed formal certificate for each scholar who successfully passes such examination such as may be required by the provisions of the Factory Act or for admission into the Civil Service. In the course of the debate on this subject the large general question was raised as to whether Inspectors should be appointed with power to enter'and inspect all schools not under the control of the State, with authority to insist upon a certain degree of secular efficiency; and at its meeting on the 22nd June the Board passed the following resolution : " That this Board expresses the opinion that it is desirable that all private schools should be subject to annual inspection and examination by the . State, as a guarantee that every child in the education district is receiving a sound education, as required by the Act; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Minister of Education." Begulations.—The questions of corporal punishment and of home-lessons have both come rather prominently before the Board during the past year, and although no very exact of formal decisions were arrived at, yet the written opinion of the Principal of the Normal School on the one

81

E.—l

subject and of the Inspectors on the other have been tacitly approved and very generally acted upon. Mr. Watkins is of opinion that corporal punishment may be used for moral delinquency or obstinate resistance, but not for doubtful progress or possible incapacity ; while the Inspectors agree, that written home-work should be moderate in quantity and confined to the four upper standards, and that it should be carefully examined and corrected by the teacher, as otherwise there is grave risk of the pupil's writing deteriorating in the absence of guidance and control. In this connection it may be mentioned that for a long time the Board has received no complaints of the home-work given by the teachers in this district.

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. Sic, — Normal School, Christchurch, 18th February, 1899. I have the honour to submit the following report on the work of the Normal School for the year 1898 :— At the beginning of the year we admitted thirty-four new students, of whom twenty-seven were females and seven males. Two students who had been compelled to withdraw through ill-health in 1897 were allowed to complete their year in 1898. One student also who had failed in his examination at the end of 1896 was allowed to continue, without maintenance allowance. This gave us a total of thirty-seven students, but of these one had to withdraw through ill-health. At the matriculation examination twenty-five of our students sat, of whom twenty-four passed, and two of these (who had carried on their studies at Canterbury College) also sat for their C certificate. One other student (who had also carried on her studies at Canterbury College) passed the final section of the B.A. The results of the examination for the D and E certificates are not yet known. During the year one important change took place in the staff of the practising department. Miss Kate Baldwin, who had been upon the staff of the school for many years, and had met with great success in her work here, left to take the'position of head mistress of the Gloucester Street School. Miss Meadows was promoted to the place vacated by Miss Baldwin, Miss McHaffie to the post of second assistant, and Miss Smith, relieving teacher, was made third assistant; and, as the attendance of the school had fallen somewhat, advantage was taken of the opportunity to reduce expenditure, and no new appointment was made to the post of relieving teacher. The relieving work in connection with the Model School has since been done by students. We have attempted this year to carry on further our endeavours to give the students some practical training in the so-called " varied occupations" which are considered as belonging to kindergarten work, but there is still much to be desired in this direction. As I pointed out last

E—l

82

year, the difficulty is to find time for these new subjects. But I feel there is a strong probability that some kindergarten work will be demanded for our schools in the near future, and I cannot but think that we ought at least to give our students opportunities to make a beginning in the practical part of the work. Mrs. Bullock, head mistress of the Infants' Department, who has had charge of this part of the work with the students, has taken very great interest in the subject, and it was especially gratifying to me to find that at the end of the year she was to some extent rewarded for her trouble by the success that attended her exhibition of kindergarten work done in her department. In the Girls' School a noteworthy feature has been the attendance for the last six months of about forty girls at a weekly class in cookery at the School of Domestic Instruction. The usual fate of classes in subjects outside of the school course is for them to dwindle down and cease. This particular class has, however, so far escaped this fate, owing largely to the interest the girls feel in the subject. But another contributory cause has been the fact that the time for this class has been taken from the ordinary school day. The time that has been thus given up could ill be spared from the preparation for the work of the standard syllabus, but the subject is one of such immense practical value that the opportunity of sending the girls to these classes could not be lost. In cases like this, where facilities exist for attendance at valuable classes of any kind, I cannot but think it would encourage teachers and children alike to take advantage of them if in the assessment of the work done in the standard subjects some allowance could be made for this diminution in the time available for those subjects. The Boys' and Girls' Schools, I am glad to say, met with considerable success in the examinations held in December for scholarships and exhibitions. I have, &c, Edwin Watkins, 8.A., Principal. The Chairman, Normal School Committee.

SOUTH CANTEEBUBY. Sib,— Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1899. I have the honour to submit herewith the report of the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1898. Boaed. —The Board consists of the following members: Messrs. W. B. Howell, J.P. (Chairman), John Talbot, J.P., John Jackson, J.P., John Stephen Keith, J.P., Peter Keddie, J.P., Daniel Newman Inwood, J.P., Lieut.-Colonel Moore, J.P., the Bey. W. J. Comrie, and the Bey. George Barclay, J.P. Eighteen meetings of the Board were held during the year, twelve ordinary and six special meetings, the average number present being 7"38. The officers of the Board were the same as last year. Schools. —At the end of the year there were sixty-seven full-time schools in operation, the classification of which was as follows : Under 15 pupils, five schools ; 15 and under 20, four schools; 20 and under 25, ten schools; 25 and under 50, twenty-eight schools ;50 and under- 75, eight schools ; 75 and under 100, four schools ; 100 and under 150, one school; 150 and under 300, three schools; 300 and under 500, three schools; 500 and upwards, one school. Number of aided schools included, nineteen. Attendance. —The accompanying table shows the number of scholars attending the Board's schools during the last ten years [not all reprinted] : —

The working average for the four quarters of 1898 gives an average of 4,492 against the strict average of 4,465. The working average for 1898 is ninety-one less than it was in 1897, and 121 less than it was in 1896. During the winter months there was a great deal of sickness amongst the children —typhoid fever, measles, and colds, with inclement weather, keeping the scholars at home, and thereby greatly reducing the average attendance. The average roll-number for 1898 was 5,183, against 5,275 in the previous year. Finance. —The Building Account shows a credit balance of £93. The Board during the year cancelled the indebtedness of the Building Fund to the Maintenance Account by striking out the sum of £1,158 19s. 10d., the Building Fund at the same time repaying to maintenance a sum of £200. The Maintenance Account shows a credit balance of £950 Is. Id., but, as the sum of £1,214 7s. received from the School Commissioners for primary education is in reality part capitation for 1899, the Maintenance Account actually shows a debit balance at the 31st December 1898, of £264 ss. lid.

Buildings.—The principal operations during the year 1898 were building a school at Cricklewood, altering and furnishing the temporary school at Te Ngawai, making additions to the residences at Washdyke and at Bedcliff, and enlarging the school at St. Andrew's. The following schools and residences were painted and repaired : Waitohi Flat, Opihi, Gapes Valley, Temuka, Timaru South, Bedcliff, and Hakateramea Valley. The Temuka and Timaru Main Schools were distempered, as well as Fairlie and Orari South. Pumps or wells were supplied to Belfield, Pleasant Point, Orton, Hook, Makikihi, Springbrook, and Sutherland's. Fencing and repairs to fences were carried out at Southburn, Belfield, Seadown, and Winchester. New furniture was supplied to Cricklewood, Hannaton, Upper Otaio, and Fairlie. New closets were erected at Bedcliff, Orari Bridge, and Hook; maps and material were supplied to a number of schools; and grants made in aid to School Committees to make small repairs, &c. Pupil-teachebs.—The annual pupil-teachers' examination was held in the last week in June, when twenty-four pupil-teachers, together with ten candidates for employment, presented themselves for examination. Twenty-three pupil-teachers passed and one failed. Of the candidates, five passed and five failed. Seven pupil-teachers of the third and fourth year sat for certificates at the Education Department's examination; three passed for D and three for E, and one obtained a partial E. Distbict High Schools.—A special report of the secondary work of the District High Schools was submitted to the Board by the Inspector. From this report it appears that thirty-two scholars took part in the examination at Waimate and fifteen at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, French, Latin, algebra, and Euclid. The Waimate High School Board of Governors continues its annual grant of £100 per annum towards the teaching of the higher subjects in the Waimate District High School, and encourages attendance by awarding scholarships and exhibitions to successful candidates. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wm. B. Howell, Chairman.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sic, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st January, 1899. I have the honour to submit the following report on the higher work of the District High Schools :— Thirty-two scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, seventeen of whom were examined in five subjects, fourteen in four subjects, and one in three subjects. Fifteen scholars were examined at Temuka, ten in five subjects, four in three subjects, and one in two subjects. In each school the subjects were English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algebra. 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:—

OTAGO. Sib,— Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1899. 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 1898 : — Boaed. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Mr. John F. M. Fraser, the Hon. John MacGregor, Messrs. Henry Clark, Donald Borrie, Andrew McKerrow, John Mcßae Gallaway, John J. Bamsay, William Snow, and the Bey. P. B. Fraser. Messrs. Borrie, Clark, and McKerrow retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Mr. McKerrow did not offer himself for re-election. Nine candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in February resulted in the election of Dr. William Brown, Messrs. Henry Harraway and James Sim. At the first meeting of the Board in April Dr. Brown was appointed Chairman. In May Mr. J. F. M. Fraser resigned his seat, and Mr. James Mitchell was elected to fill the vacancy. The Board held twenty-five meetings during the year. Mr. J. F. M. Fraser and Mr. John M. Gallaway were reappointed 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. James Green continues to represent the Board as Education Beserves Commissioner. Numbee of Schools. —At the close of 1897 there were 220 schools in operation in the district. Five schools were permanently closed, and four new schools opened. The schools at Bound Hill, Waiwera, Adam's Flat, Kawarau, and Inch Valley were closed owing to the removal of the children of school age from the district. New schools were opened at Tarara, Purakauiti, Sutton, and Clydevale. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 219. In addition to the schools opened during the year, the Board has sanctioned the establishment of schools at Momona, Tokarahi, Akatore Coast, and Deep Stream. At the end of the year buildings were in course of erection at Momona and Deep Stream. Tbachees.—There were in the Board's service on the 31st December 543 teachers (223 male and 288 female) and 88 pupil-teachers (28 male and 60 female). The examination of applicants for employment as pupil-teachers was held in December, when no fewer than 122 candidates presented themselves. Out of this number fifty-seven passed the prescribed tests, and six boys and thirteen girls received appointments. School Attendance. —The following is an abstract of the attendance at the public schools of this district from the institution "of the Otago education scheme, in the year 1856, to the present time. At the beginning of 1878 the new Education District of Southland was created, and thirtyseven schools were handed over to the newly formed Board : —

The above returns show a decrease in the school attendance all round. There was a decrease of 416 in the number of pupils who attended at all during the year. The decrease in the average attendance was 824, and the decrease in the number of pupils on the rolls when the year closed was 603. In Dunedin there was a decrease of ninety-five in the average attendance, while the number in attendance at the close of the year was eighty-one less than at the corresponding period of 1897. The average attendance at the Dunedin schools has been steadily decreasing since the year 1887, when it reached the highest point, until at present the attendance is lower by 526 pupils than it was in that year. The attendance at the city schools was lower last year than it has been at any time since 1880. It should be stated, however, that but few parts of the district escaped the epidemic of measles, while the ordinary infantile disorders seem to have been more severe than usual. Scholaeships.—Twenty-two scholarships (eleven junior and eleven senior) were awarded at the December examination. In all, 171 candidates competed, forty for the senior and 131 for the junior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, twenty-six of the junior competitors and seven 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. There are at present forty-three pupils receiving free education at the High Schools in Dunedin in connection with the scholarship scheme. In October last the Board of Governors of the Boys' and Girls' High Schools intimated that it had been decided to restrict the free education privileges at its schools, so far as junior scholarship competitors are concerned, to the ten competitors next following those who gain scholarships, provided that they obtain at least 60 per cent, of the attainable marks. This change will come into operation at the examination in December, 1899. The conditions governing the senior scholarship free education privilege at the High Schools in Dunedin remain unaltered. Teuancy.—From the following statement an estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : Cases investigated, 499; notices served on parents or guardians under section 5 of " School Attendance Act, 1894," 312 ; penalty summonses issued under section 7 of " School Attendance Act, 1894 " (dealing with parents or guardians of children who had not attended school the number of times required by the Act), 95. Under the above ninety-five penalty summonses there were fifty-six convictions, thirty-four cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendants of exemption certificates, and five cases were dismissed. The total of fines for the year was £5 12s. In accordance with section 7of the Act, the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. School of Act and Design.—The total number of students who attended the school during the past session was 402. This total includes ninety-four teachers and pupil-teachers, forty-one Training College students, 105 students who attended the day classes, and 162 who attended the evening classes. The Board desires to direct your special attention to the good work done at the School of Art and Design. The number of students is now larger than it has ever been, and the proportion of certificates gained at the examinations in connection with the South Kensington Science and Art Department is noteworthy. The cost of the school for the year was—Salaries, £708 6s. Bd. ; incidental expenses, £59 18s. 7d. : total, £768 ss. 3d. Less fees (three quarters only), £258 15s. 9d.; Government grant under Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, £198 13s. 7d.—£457 9s. 4d. Net cost, £310 15s. lid. The following is a summary of the passes of Dunedin candidates at the examination of the City and Guilds of London Institute, held in 1898 : Plumber's work (ordinary)— First class, 3 ; plumber's work (honours) —First class, 1 ; carpentry and joinery (ordinary) —First class ; 1; carpentry and joinery (honours) —First class 1; photography (ordinary) —Second class, 1 ; Metalplate work (ordinary)— First class, 1 ; bookbinding (ordinary) —First class, 2 ; mechanical engineering (ordinary) —First class, 1, marked as deserving of a prize; second class, 1. In this connection the Board thinks it desirable to lay stress on the good work done by the Dunedin Technical School, the rent of which is partly paid by the Board. Last year 731 students attended the classes of the Technical School, and 402 attended the School of Art. Deducting those who attended both institutions —viz., twenty-nine—we have the large number of 1,104 attending technical classes in the City of Dunedin, a state of affairs which speaks well for the primary system of education, for those who are teaching in the continuation schools, and specially well for the young men and women who are devoting their leisure hours to self improvement. Training College. —The report of the Principal of the Training College is appended. The Board would again direct your attention to the inadequacy of the grant for the training of teachers. To maintain the Training College in an efficient condition at least £2,000 per annum is required, and a grant of only £300 is made. The Otago Training College is not, and never has been, of mere provincial importance. Beference to the report of the Principal will show that during that officer's four years' tenure of office he has successfully pursued the policy initiated and followed by Mr. Fitzgerald, a policy which, by the aid of the Otago University, has given to the colony Inspectors of Schools, successful heads of high schools, and a great number of highly qualified teachers of public schools. The majority of teachers in the Otago schools were students at the Training College, and in almost every other education district its students occupy important positions, and are doing good work for the colony. A more liberal grant should be made to the Boards that provide efficiently for the training of teachers for the colony. The cost of the institution for the year was —Salaries, £490; allowances to students, £629 9s. Bd.; incidentals, £21 6s. lOd. : total, £1,140 16s. 6d. Less Government grant for training of teachers, £300. Net cost, £840 16s. 6d. Inspection.—The Inspectors report that all the schools were examined, many under very unfavourable circumstances. Their report for 1898 shows that the schools are in a satisfactory

87

E.—l

condition. Although the examination results are slightly lower than those of 1897, they consider that the standard of efficiency has been fully maintained, possibly in some subjects even raised. They attribute the apparent falling-off to prevailing sickness both before and during the examination of a considerable number of schools, including the large schools of Dunedin and suburbs. They mention also that the mean of the average ages of the pupils who passed Standards 111. to VI. is nearly three months lower than that of the pupils who passed these standards in 1897. The percentage of passes in Standards I. and 11., for which the headmasters are responsible as examiners, is 97-6, the same as that of last year. The percentage of passes from 111. to VI., for which Inspectors are responsible as examiners, is 82-7, nearly two less than that of last year. Hitherto the Education Department has required an examination report on each school so far only as the pass-subjects are concerned, but this year the Inspectors were instructed to report also on the class and additional subjects. This they regard as a step in the right direction. Though the Inspectors judge the efficiency of the schools by the percentage of marks gained in the subjects of examination rather than by the percentage of standard passes, they do not regard the latter as valueless, and they repeat the assertion made in last year's report—an assertion well worthy of consideration : "Every well-taught school gains a high standard pass, but not every school that gains a high standard pass is a well-taught school." After long and careful observation of the standard pass examination the Inspectors have come to the conclusion that its abolition would now be conducive to real education. Finance.—A certified statement of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereunto. The sum expended in teachers' salaries (including bonuses on classification) and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers was £62,449 Is. 3d.; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,594 12s. Id. ; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £7,108 19s. 9d. The serious falling-off in the attendance, already referred to, has reduced the Board's income on the General Account by over £3,000, without diminishing the expenditure in any appreciable extent, and the Board now finds itself for the first time in the position of being overdrawn on both the General and Building Accounts. By order of the Board, The Hon. the Minister of Education. P. G. Petde, Secretary.

TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Sic,— Normal School, Dunedin, 9th March, 1899. I have much pleasure in presenting my annual report on the work of the Training College for the year 1898. We enrolled fifty-eight students this year, of whom twenty-seven were pupil-teachers. lam glad to say that the health of the students was good; they attended regularly, and the attention they gave to their daily duties was very satisfactory. The following shows the enrolment for the year in detail: — Males. Females. Total. Second-year students ... ... ... ... 2 10 12 First-year students ... ... ... ... 8 34 42 Number left during the year ~. ... ... 1 3 4 Number in attendance at the close of the session .. 9 41 50 In looking over the work of the training-classes for the past fifteen years, the term during which I have been connected with the College, one cannot help noting with satisfaction the advance that has been made during that time in the literary status of the students. Fifteen years ago the senior division of the students was preparing for the matriculation examination and the junior for the E certificate ; this year, on the other hand, at the close of the session the roll included three who had passed the M.A. degree, one the 8.A., four the first section of the degree, and ten others who kept terms at the University. To those interested in securing a highly qualified staff of teachers in our public schools it ought to be a source of gratification to know that candidates for the teaching profession show themselves, so far as their literary attainments are concerned, well qualified for the discharge of their responsible duties. The majority of the students in the College are being trained for primaryschool work, but quite a number this year are professedly looking forward to positions in high schools. Evidently this class of students recognises the desirability of becoming acquainted with the principles of teaching as applied to the primary schools, and looks upon our course of training as an appropriate preparation for their future work. They attend all the classes in the College dealing with the technical subjects of instruction required in the public-school curriculum, and remain with us for a period of two years, with the view at the end of their term of obtaining a teacher's certificate. I have very little to say with regard to the general aim and purpose of the training-classes beyond this: that I endeavour to bring under the notice of the students the many opportunities they have, in their lessons, of employing sound educative principles, and of applying them to every lesson they take in hand. I have put before them the best outlines of lessons that lam acquainted with, and I have illustrated them as fully as time would permit. I have asked them to carry them out according to my methods, but at the same time I have laid great stress on the necessity for throwing some individuality into the treatment of their lessons, and of showing some evidences of originality and research in methods of teaching, if they wish their work to be successful. I have not insisted on a strict adherence to the details of any particular method further than to emphasize, by carefully prepared notes of lessons, that the main factor in every good lesson consists in attention to detail in the preparation of the material and the plan of the lesson. The greater part of the course is taken up with practice in teaching. Every student has to teach frequently before his fellow-students, and to undergo the ordeal of oral and written criticism; then, in his turn, he has an opportunity of seeing others teaching and of criticizing them, and obviously this twofold training in observation and experiment, given under a healthy spirit of emulation, ought to bring out their best efforts and increase their professional skill. The schoolmethod class includes a large number of subjects, all of which have to be treated, first, by way of an exposition of the principles of the subject, and, secondly, in the form of a practical lesson. It is clear from this that to treat them all exhaustively would require more time than I can spare. I have sometimes to sacrifice the one form of lesson to make room for the other kind. I may say again that very little time is given to any direct preparation of the students to enable them to pass their annual examination, and I hope the annual results will not necessitate in the future any deviation from this course. I give considerable attention to the teaching of reading. The students themselves require instruction in the art of reading. To this branch of work I devote some time, but necessarily lam eh efly concerned with methods of reading as they apply to the pupils and the class-room. Thirty criticisms and model lessons were given in the subject—one-half to the infant-room classes, and the others to lessons in Standards 1., 11., 111., and IV. The lessons were designed to illustrate the most important elements of intelligent public-school reading. The lessons in grammar always require a great deal of time, and I think a good share of time should be given to them, as they afford a splendid field for the exercise of skill in oral exposition and in setting forth the difficulties that surround the most abstract and difficult of all the school subjects. Including composition, forty-eight lessons were given in all In geography our work concerned chiefly the requirements of the junior classes of the school, and dealt with the physical and political rather than with the mathematical branch of the subject. We have a very poor supply of apparatus for teaching astronomical geography, but if we can get a better set next year we shall give more attention to the mathematical geography of the Fifth and Sixth Standards. Several conversational lessons were given this year, dealing with common plants, flowers, and other objects. They were very interesting and instructive. For one whole month we were engaged with lessons on the science of numbers and its application to school arithmetic. The elementary or first lessons of the infant-room received most

E.—l

attention, but twenty-four lessons covering the commoner rules were also given in Standards I. to IV. In addition to these lessons, twenty-seven in mental arithmetic were carried out, and in these a number of typical exercises were worked, showing the most ready and intelligent way of explaining simple every-day commercial operations. In writing twelve lessons were taught —Standards 11. to VI. In these lessons the students sought to exemplify the main points to be looked to in the matter of routine, supervision, and management of a copy-book lesson on the subject. The Engliyh lessons were treated as in previous years. The English class work included the reading and study of one of the works of the following authors : Shakespeare, Macaulay, and George Eliot. No one is exempted from attendance at this class, as the lessons have a special and direct bearing on the methods of teaching English that should prevail in the upper classes of the school, and they have also a specific reference to the teaching .of composition as a branch of primary-school education. All the lessons in the school-method class are designed mainly to illustrate methods applicable to separate standard classes in large schools, but in the Model School, in my lessons dealing with it, I have entirely new aspects of our work to deal with—that of adopting our methods to meet the conditions and requirements of a small school with mixed classes. For this purpose the student is provided with a suitable time-table of work and a draft of the lessons and subjects to be taught during the week. Even with this assistance the task is a very difficult one, but I believe the student who spends some time in the management of the school will find his experience of some value when he takes charge of a similar school in the country. With regard to the science, theoretical and practical, Mr. Gray reports as follows : " The course in science includes—(l) Lectures on mechanics, physics, chemistry, and physiology, as prescribed by the department, and (2) practical laboratory work in these subjects. In the laboratory students perform experiments, and make their own notes of the method in which they are conducted and of the results. Seventy-six experiments were carried out in this way last year. In some instances, besides actually working the experiment, the students have to make, fit up, and get ready the necessary apparatus. In this way practice is obtained not only in working experiments, but also in preparing such apparatus as is required in the class-teaching of the subjects in the course of science required by the Board." The female students receive regular instruction in sewing, and are trained how to carry out the requirements of the syllabus for the various standard classes. It is scarcely necessary to say that this department of our work is in very able hands, and all along since the establishment of the Training College the duties of this necessary branch of work have been carried out faithfully and efficiently. Miss Fitzgerald has also, during the last two or three years, given a course of kindergarten lessons which proved of interest to the students. Miss Fitzgerald always manifests the greatest interest in everything that concerns the social and professional life and work of the students and the institution. In connection with the gymnastics and physical drill, I have to repeat what I said last year— that if the apparatus were improved the whole of the physical training of the students could be given in the Normal School buildings. At present the students go to the Girls' High School, which is in every way a most inconvenient arrangement, and one that entails considerable loss of time. Besides, it is of little use instructing the students if Mr. Hanna has no opportunity of seeing them drilling their classes in the playground or in the class-room. I had to supervise the physical drill exercises myself last year, work which, of course, ought rightly to devolve on the instructor. To insure this being done by the person who best understands it, I have to ask the Board that Mr. Hanna's services be available when the students are drilling the pupils. I think that Mr. Hanna should be at liberty to spend more time at the Training College than is possible for him under the present arrangements. Mr. Braik continues the same course of musical study, and four singing lessons were given by the students every week for the greater part of the session. I have to thank the headmasters of the associated schools for the cordial way in which they receive the students, and for the interest they take in them. The headmaster's criticism and report are placed before the students on their return to the Training College, and whether of an encouraging nature or of an adverse kind should prove a stimulus to better work. The classes have been very large this year, nearly as large as in years past when there was a larger staff to overtake the work. What with the ordinary work of the Normal School, of the Model School, and of the Training College classes, we are kept very busy. Not many, I think, quite realise the multifarious duties implied in the management and supervision of the institution. The results of the annual examinations are satisfactory. Twenty-two qualified for the D certificate, and fourteen for a "partial" D ; two passed a full E, and two a "partial " ; ten were presented for matriculation, and nine passed. We have not quite so many on the honours list as we had last year, but I believe fewer have been selected this year for special mention. For instance, out of several hundred candidates from all parts of the colony only four were selected for distinction in the school management list. Of these, two —Miss Linda Fenwick and Miss Lily Sullivan —were members of our classes. The following received special mention for their science papers : Miss Mabel Gollis, Miss E. Firth, and Miss Ada Hoffman. The following list gives the results obtained at the term examinations of the Otago University by the sixteen students who attended University classes : Senior mathematics—Second class, 2. Junior mathematics—First class, 2 ; second class, 1 ; third class, 3. Senior Latin —First class, 1; second class, 2 ; third class, 1. Junior Latin —Second class, 2 ; third class, 1.

SOUTHLAND. Sib,— Education Office, Invercargill, 16th March, 1899. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Southland for the year ended the 31st December, 1898. The Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Messrs. George McLeod (Chairman), J. W. Bain, A. Baldey, John Cowie, George Froggatt, George B. George, Thomas Mac Gibbon, W. Macalister, and D. L. Matheson. The three retiring members of the Board were Messrs. GeOrge Froggatt, George B. George, and Thomas Mac Gibbon. Mr. George Froggatt had previously announced his intention not to seek re-election, and the voting of the School Committees resulted in the re-election of Messrs. George and Mac Gibbon, and the election of Mr. J. A. Hanan. The Board, at a special meeting held on the 18th March, unanimously adopted the following resolution relative to Mr. Froggatt's retirement from his position as one of its most energetic and attentive members : " That this Board records its high appreciation of the faithful services rendered to the cause of education in this district by Mr. George Froggatt during the past twelve years, and regrets that he has found it his duty to retire from active service as one of its members." At the usual monthly meeting held in April Mr. Alfred Baldey was elected unopposed to the position of Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. During the year the Board held twelve ordinary and two special meetings, and the Executive Committee met twentyfive times. The Venerable Archdeacon Stocker (re-elected), of Invercargill, and Bey. J. A. Asher, of Gore, were chosen to represent the Board's interests on the Board of Governors of the Southland High Schools, and Mr. J. Walker Bain continued to act as its representative on the Trust of the School Commissioners of Otago, and these gentlemen discharged their respective duties with zeal and fidelity. Schools and Attendance. —At the close of the year 1897 there were 145 schools under the control of the Board. During the year to which this report has reference new schools were opened in the districts of Merivale, Benio, Otakau, Te Tua, and Hamilton Burn. The small school in existence at Kingston (owing to a further decrease in the attendance) and the temporary school at Waianiwa Village were closed in the early part of the year; and the aided school in the new settlement of Papatotara was reopened, the prospects of that district having justified such a course. There were, consequent on these changes, 149 schools in operation as on the 31st December last. None of the newly opened schools will for a time be self-supporting, so that their existence, while a great boon to the districts in which they have been established, will be a source of weakness rather than of strength to the Board. This remark could, however, be appropriately made respecting at least three-fourths of all the schools under the Board's jurisdiction. Of the schools open at the end of the year, fifteen registered an average attendance of less than fifteen pupils, fourteen of over fifteen and under twenty pupils, eighteen of over twenty and under twenty-five pupils, and fiftyseven schools had over twenty-five but under fifty pupils in attendance. It will thus be seen that more than 70 per cent, of the schools in this district may be classified as either below or just over the self-supporting limit. The attendance for the year has shown, both in average attendance and in roll-number, a slight decrease. The exact figures are as follows : — Average Weekly Roll. Strict Average. Working Average. 1897 ... ... ... ... 9,846 7,943 8,260 1898 ... ... ... ... 9,785 7,873 8,036 Decrease ... ... 61 70 224 With an increase of four in the number of schools, it is difficult to account for the falling-off in the attendance, seeing that the decrease in strict average almost corresponds with the decrease in roll-number. The larger falling-off in the working average is probably attributable to the prevalence of epidemics, which, unfortunately, prevailed to a greater or less degree in many places during a part of the year. The percentage of strict average attendance to roll-number was also slightly less, being 80-4, as against 80-6 for the preceding year. Teaching Staff. —Under this heading but little has to be recorded. The staff (including pupil-teachers) now numbers 124 males and 120 females, a decrease of one as compared with last year. Owing to the vigorous action of the Board during the past few years, there is now but one teacher in the service in charge of a school with an average of over twenty pupils who is uncertificated, and that one is under notice to vacate his position should his efforts to gain a certificate at the January examination be recorded as unsuccessful. Appointment of Teachees : New Begulations.—ln June last the Board, by a majority, after much deliberation, adopted a set of regulations under which all appointments of teachers (not including pupil-teachers) should be made. The regulations in question involve a very material alteration in the past practice of the Board, and so far have worked satisfactorily. In only two or three instances have Committees failed to acquiesce in the appointment of a candidate nominated by the Board. It is safe to say that the operation of these regulations will in great measure, if not altogether, prevent anomalies in the appointment of teachers such as must necessarily occur when

8.-l

94

School Committees select from a large number of applicants whose attainments and claims to promotion may be widely dissimilar. With the necessarily limited knowledge of applicants' qualifications and character sometimes afforded by testimonials, it was not to be expected that Committees could easily assume the responsibility of selecting the best teacher for any particular vacancy, and the Board believes that a majority of the School Committees of the district are pleased to be relieved from that obligation. With the right admitted to School Committees by Eegulation 3 to forward to the Board any suggestions or recommendations as to the particular vacancy in any school about to be filled, and with the further right of criticizing the Board's selection, which is vested in School Committees by Eegulation 8, it is safe to assume that, unless under a combination of circumstances not at all likely to occur, the very best candidate —all things considered —will invariably be selected. The attainment of this purpose it is scarcely necessary to say should be the aim and end of such a set of regulations as has been adopted ; and when School Committees fully realise that it is only under regulations calculated to produce such a desirable result that the best interests of the various classes of schools can be most surely conserved, then the Board believes that any slight opposition which may at present exist will entirely disappear. Under these regulations the Board is of opinion that the following desirable results may be, as nearly as possible, obtained: (1.) Full publicity is given to each vacancy. (2.) Provision is made for School Committees to make known to the Board, before a candidate is selected, any special circumstances relative to the vacant position in their schools about to be filled. (3.) The application of every qualified (certificated) candidate is sent, along with testimonials, to the School Committee for its perusal. (4.) Committees are afforded the opportunity of giving reasons against the Board's proposal to appoint a certain candidate and in favour of any other applicant. (5.) Provision is made whereby, teachers and Committees being agreeable, exchange or transfer of teachers from one district to another may be made. SoHOLAESHiPS. —The revision of the regulations affecting scholarships has occupied the attention of a special committee of the Board appointed for that purpose. Numerous meetings have been held, and a draft set of new regulations prepared for submission to the Board. These involve many changes which materially affect the scholarship system in this district. It is the intention of the Board to consider the proposals of its committee at an early date. The revised regulations, if adopted, cannot now come into operation till the year 1900. On the 31st December last there were on the books of the Board the names of twenty scholarship-holders. Of that number ten names were removed, the period of their respective scholarships having expired. To these young people a sum of £582 10s. was paid during the year, while the expenses of the annual examination amounted to £18 6s. lid. The annual examination of candidates under existing regulations was held on the 20th December last and following days. In all, seventy-three candidates presented themselves at the various centres —Invercargill, Gore, Eiverton —forty-one competing for the scholarships offered to country pupils and thirty-two for those offered to town pupils. The limit of age for candidates for scholarships is fifteen years. Of the seventy-three competitors on this occasion, forty-four were over fourteen years of age, twenty-six over thirteen years and under fourteen, and three were over twelve and under thirteen. Thirty-six candidates obtained at least 60 per cent, of the maximum number of marks, and this result is characterized by the Inspectors as highly satisfactory, and most creditable alike to teachers and pupils concerned, the answers handed in being almost without exception carefully and methodically set out., Pupil-teachers.—The number of pupil-teachers on the staff at the 31st December was nine boys and forty-four girls, the proportion of the former to the latter being thus as nearly as possible Ito s—approximately5—approximately the same as for several years past. The usual examination was held simultaneously at Invercargill and Queenstown on the 14th June last and following days, when twentyfive candidates presented themselves at the former centre and five at the latter. Of this number, five were presented for Class I. (highest), of whom three passed and two failed; thirteen for Class 11., of whom twelve passed and one failed; and five and seven for Classes 111. and IV. respectively, who were all successful. At this date—June—there were in all fifty-seven pupilteachers in the Board's service. The twenty-seven who did not come forward for examination have either completed their apprenticeship or have passed the teachers' E or D examination, which carries with it exemption from further attendance. The Inspectors report that, with the exception of drawing in Class 1., the various subjects were handled in a very satisfactory way; and that, in the manner of their execution, the papers were methodical, neat, and tidy. Technical Classes. —The Saturday carpentry classes for teachers and pupils established in the year 1895 have been successfully carried on for three consecutive sessions, commencing on the 7th May and ending on the 26th November. The attendance was a most decided improvement on that of the previous year, and much intelligent interest in the work was manifested by the students, old and young alike. The roll-number r.anged from five to seven for teachers, and from twenty to twenty-two for boys; while the mean average attendance for the three sessions was 52 and 19 # 2 for the senior and junior classes respectively. In the month of May last the following publicschool teachers—viz., Messrs. C. W. G. Selby, A. H. Hiddleston, H. P. Young, and T. Gazzard— succeeded in passing the first year's practical woodwork examination under the City and Guilds of London Institute. These classes have prosecuted their studies under the superintendence of the Board's architect, assisted this year by Mr. W. L. McLean. • Kindergarten Teaching.—Acting on the recommendation of a committee appointed to consider the question of kindergarten teaching in the schools of the district, the-Board made arrangements with Miss Jane Webber, a trained kindergarten teacher, who had recently arrived in the colony, to give a course of lessons to head-mistresses in its service. Eepresentatives from the most important schools of the district were invited to attend the classes thus established, and a hearty response to the Board's invitation was the result. The Inspectors have expressed to the Board their high appreciation of Miss Webber's ability as a teacher of kindergarten, and their opinion that

95

E.—l

infant-school teaching in this district will be much benefited by the knowledge of its principles and methods imparted by the series of lessons just given. Inspection of Schools.—The Inspectors' report furnishes full information respecting the progress of education generally, and, in addition, contains a detailed summary of results obtained by individual schools as well as for the whole district. Teuancy.—The duties of the Board's Truant Officer have been carried out during the year with, the Board believes, beneficial results. Some doubt has arisen as to the powers conferred on Truant Officers by "The School Attendance Act, 1894," more especially as to his right to prosecute defaulting parents for the non-attendance of their children without the authority of the School Committee of the district being first obtained. This point was submitted to the Board's solicitor, who gave it as his opinion that in the case of non-attendance of pupils whose names have been enrolled in the records of any school a Truant Officer can institute proceedings under the Act without the express consent or authority of the School Committee of the district. The Board thereupon instructed its officer to carry out the provisions of the Act in all cases where he found it necessary to do so. This interpretation of the law will doubtless be received by School Committees with satisfaction. In many instances since the passing of the School Attendance Act the only difficulty attending its administration has been the diffidence felt by School Committees in being the direct cause of the institution of legal proceedings against their friends and neighbours. There is another point about which the various Stipendiary Magistrates, in the hearing of such cases, do not agree. By some Magistrates it is held that the onus of proof that a child is not well enough to attend school lies with the parent or guardian ; by others that proof to the contrary lies with the prosecution. If the latter interpretation of the law be correct, then an amendment of the Act is an imperative necessity, to enable Boards and their officers to give effect to the intention of the Legislature. It is obviously impossible for Truant Officers to possess information respecting the physical condition of children in all parts of an education district on any given date, and it is correspondingly easy for parents or guardians to obtain from School Committees an exemption certificate in every case where the health of their children may be such as to justify absence from school. In section 3of the Act there is provision for every possible contingency which may justify the absence of a child from school, and no parent who has the educational welfare of his children at heart need fear in the slightest any undue interference with his liberty in the matter of compulsory attendance. The only persons who have cause to dread the presence of a Truant Inspector are those who are habitually careless or indifferent to the future well-being of their offspring, for the benefit of whom the Act was framed. School Committees. —The relations between the Board and the School Committees in its district have continued to be harmonious throughout the past year. In the month of September the Board amended its regulations affecting allowances to School Committees, the general effect of which was to increase the School Fund allowance from 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d. for each pupil in excess of twenty-five of an average attendance at any school, and to double the allowance payable in respect of schools whose average is below twenty. The fixed allowance of £10 payable under the old regulation to all schools having an average attendance of twenty to twenty-five (inclusive) or upwards remains unaltered. The amended scale of payments, which comes, into operation for the quarter ending on the 31st December, does not affect the finance of the year 1898. The extra amount payable to School Committees by virtue of this alteration will be approximately £350 per annum. In consideration of the additional sum thus granted it is expected that Committees will assist in executing certain small repairs and other works previously undertaken at the sole expense of the Board. Building Opebations.—The Board has to acknowledge the increased liberality displayed by Government in the matter of grants for school buildings. In a district such as Southland, where, on account of the rapid progress of settlement, the demand for increased school accommodation shows no abatement, it has been well-nigh impossible to make adequate provision for the requirements of the people, and especially has this been the case in districts where, on account of new settlement, some altogether unexpected claims have arisen. The special vote made by Parliament for the purpose of assisting in the erection of school buildings in newly settled districts has rendered this Board substantial assistance in making proper provision for the educational requirements of settlers in remote parts. A special grant of £1,630 for this purpose appears amongst this Board's receipts for the year. The ordinary grant for buildings was £3,300, an increase on the previous year's vote of £300. Notwithstanding the substantial aggregate increase in the Board's revenue for building purposes, it has been found very difficult to meet all legitimate demands. This is due —in part, at least —to the fact that the drain on the Board's resources for painting, repairs, &c, still continues to increase. During the year new schools were erected in the districts of Merrivale, Benio, Te Tua, Otakau, Hamilton Burn, and Oterarnika, the first five being in districts recently opened up for settlement; new residences were provided for the use of the teachers at Invercargill Park, Wendon, Greenhills, Haldane, Maitland Village, and Te Tua; while additions to the residences at Wyndham, Otautau, Hillend South, Ardlussa, Wairio, and Seaward Moss were also completed. The erection of these new buildings and additions, with other minor payments, involved an expenditure of £2,712. In addition to this amount, improvements and repairs to buildings were effected at a cost of £1,249,-while a sum of about £560 was disbursed in connection with providing furniture and apparatus; in survey, transfer, and purchase of school sites; and in payment for plans and inspection of buildings in course of erection. The general effect of this year's operations on the Building Account has been to decrease the debit balance (£863) of the preceding year to £422 7s. 3d. This result could not have been achieved but for the receipt of the special vote previously referred to, or, as an alternative, the postponement of many of the works above specified.

Financial.—The certified statement of this Board's income and expenditure, a copy of which has been forwarded to your department, shows the gross receipts, inclusive of last year's credit balance of £2,710 2s. 10d., to have been £38,958 7s. 3d. The principal items constituting this aggregate are as follows: Capitation grants, £27,037; building grants, £4,930; Southland's share of primary reserves rents, £3,201; scholarships, £600; inspection subsidy, £300. These, with other incidental receipts shown in the balance-sheet, make up the total income of the Board as above stated. The net expenditure for the year is shown as £35,945 2s. 2d., the most important charges against this amount being as follows: Teachers' salaries, £26,840; building, £4,521; School Committees' allowances, £1,853; office staff and Inspectors' salaries, £1,191; scholarships, £600. These payments, along with others of less significance, constitute the aggregate disbursements during the year, and leave balances to debit of Building Account of £422 7s. 3d. and to credit of General Account of £3,435 12s. 4d., the net amount to credit being thus £3,013 ss. Id. Against these balances have to be placed ascertained liabilities as follows : Against Building Account, a sum of £1,153 2s. Id., balance of amounts due or to fall due under existing contracts; against General Account, a sum of £730 18s., due to School Committees, teachers, and others as on the 31st December, 1898; and these, of course, have to be deducted from the actual sum standing to credit to exhibit the Board's true financial position. By order of the Board, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Neill, Secretary.

KEPOKTS OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONEES.

AUCKLAND. Sic,— Auckland, 10th April, 1899. I have the honour to report upon the administration of education reserves in this district for the year 1898, as follows : — The reserves let comprise fourteen sections of town and suburban lands, yielding a rental of £43 12s. 6d., and fourteen sections of country lands, yielding a rental of £150 18s. 6d. On the termination in August of a twenty-one years' lease at ■ Gisborne, granted by the Education Board in 1877, the Commissioners, after arbitration, were awarded to pay £390 as compensation for buildings. Since the close of the year this property has been extensively improved, and now commands a net rental of £260 instead of £73 under the old lease. This is the only case in which compensation is to be paid by the lessors, as in all leases now existing this liability falls upon the incoming tenant. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. B. Udy, Chairman,

WELLINGTON. Sib,— Wellington, 6th February, 1899. I have the honour to forward herewith the twentieth annual report and balance-sheet of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District, for the year ended the 31st December, 1898. There has been no change in the personnel of the Commissioners during the year, and they therefore still consist of Messrs. J. B. Blair (Chairman), A. W. Hogg, M.H.8., F. Pirani, M.H.8., John Duthie, M.H.8., and J. W. A. Marchant, Commissioner of Lands. During the year sales of leases have been held at Palmerston North, Marton, Wanganui, and Pahiatua, with the result that reserves containing 4,871 acres and 8 perches were leased to twentythree tenants at a rental of £213 ss. 2d., and, in addition, 2,305 acres and 30 perches have been since taken up by twelve tenants at a rental of £91 2s. 3d.; or a total of 7,176 acres and 38 perches to thirty-five tenants, at £304 7s. 5d., or an average of 205 acres to each tenant at lOd. an acre. The total number of tenants on the rent-roll is 349. These sections are for the most part hilly bush country, and the leases are for twenty-one years. As pointed out in last year's report, no compensation is given for bushfelling or grassing at the end of the term. Under the heading of printing, stationery, and office contingencies are included such items as expenses in connection with printing and circulating notices of sales, office rent, stamps, insurance premium, &c. You will note that the arrears of rents due at the end of the year only amounted to £103 12s. 7d. As £30 16s. of this amount was paid into Court before the end of the year, although not received by the Commissioners until after the 31st, it practically reduces the arrears to £72 16s. 7d. As rentals are payable in advance, and some of these only fell due in December, the smallness of the amount must be considered satisfactory. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. B. Blaib, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sic,— Napier, 23rd March, 1899. In compliance with your circular of the 7th December last, I have the honour to report as follows for the past year : — In order to give access to one of the reserves, it was found necessary to acquire a small piece of land from the Native owners, and this was obtained at a cost of £15. During the year two auction sales of leases were held. At the first, one rural and five suburban lots were offered, and the whole of the lots were sold at an aggregate rental of £73 19s. 2d. All of these lots had been previously held under lease. At the second auction sale three rural and four town lots were offered. All the lots had previously been held under lease, but the town sections had been unoccupied for a long time. The whole of the lots were sold at an aggregate rental of £127 lis., and it is satisfactory to report that the rural land has been leased at a rental of £126 45., as against £46 14s. under the old lease. Two additional scholarships, of the annual value of £50 4s. each, have been set apart for competition in the country schools within the Hawke's Bay Provincial District. I have, &c, The Secretary for Education, Wellington. Eeic C. Gold Smith, Chairman.

CANTEBBUBY. Sic, — Christchurch, sth January, 1899. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1898, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1898, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1898, was 68,044J acres, producing an annual rental of £16,477 6s. Bd. Of this area, 24,200 acres is contained in Pastoral Bun No 5, which was obtained from the Crown early in 1892 in exchange for agricultural land in the Waimate district. The fixed deposit of £163 3s. 5d., which matured on the 21st December, 1898 (and is only available for the purchase of land), has been renewed for one year. On the 6th September, at Timaru, the unlet sections in the Township of Opawa, Albury (part of Beserve 1213), were offered for sale by auction for cash by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, after being reclassified as town and village sections, with the result that all the village sections sold at the upset price, also ten of the town sections at the upset, and one at an advance of £1, but the remaining six sections were not bid for. The net proceeds of this sale (after deducting ss. per acre for survey, and ss. per acre on the land sold paid over to the Mackenzie County Council) amounted to £141 10s. Bd., which sum awaits appropriation for the purchase of land. During the year eight reserves (or portions of same) of chiefly small area were relet by arbitration for periods of fourteen years or thereabouts to good tenants, who had in almost all cases built and made a home of their holdings. Four reserves were subdivided into eight farms, and let by tender on a fourteen years' lease or thereabouts to eight tenants, six of whom were new ones; and portions of two swamp reserves, let in 1884 in nine lots, were farther subdivided into sixteen farms and let by tender, part on a fourteen years' and part on a twenty years' lease or thereabouts, to fifteen new tenants. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. H. B. Webb, Chairman.

OTAGO. Sib,— Dunedin, 13th May, 1899. In accordance with Order in Council of 17th December, 1898,1 have the honour to forward the Eeport of the School Commissioners of the Otago Provincial District for the year ended 31st December, 1898. During the year the Commissioners held fifteen meetings, which, with one exception, were attended by the whole of the members. The number of tenants on the rent-roll is now 856, and it will readily be seen that the routine business incidental to the efficient management and supervision of such a large trust entails the sacrifice of a great deal of the Commissioners' time at their meetings, which absorb a full day, and sometimes two, in each month. In addition to the management of the endowments, the Commissioners have at present the sum of £28,618 lis. sd. (proceeds of sale of endowments) lent on mortgage over freehold security, and the supervision of this investment, which embraces thirty-two mortgages, requires considerable time and attention. In accepting a security for the investment of capital, the Commissioners now make it a rule only to advance money on rural land which, in the event of its falling into their hands under power of mortgage, could be advantageously added to the endowment; and, in addition to obtaining a report and recommendation from a competent valuer, they satisfy themselves personally as far as possible that the security is a desirable one. During the year the Commissioners leased twenty sections for pastoral purposes, forty-three sections for agricultural purposes, and six township sections. The area of the pastoral land was 3,528 acres, leased to ten tenants at an annual rent of £82 lis. 2d., or 5-fd. per acre. The area of the agricultural land was 1,813 acres, leased to twenty-nine tenants at £370 3s. 6d. per annum, or 4s. Id. per acre. The township sections contain 1 rood each, and were leased to six tenants at £6 10s. per annum, or from 10s. to £3 each. During the year the sum of £tBO 13s. Id. was received in repayment of loans, and £4,010 was advanced on mortgage at 5 per cent, interest. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears of rent on the 31st December, 1898, the sum of £2,791 lis. has since been collected, and, as the most of the tenants are now realising on their crops, a large portion of the balance due will shortly be paid. As I have already explained in former reports, the rents are all payable half-yearly in advance, and of those falling due towards the end of the year a great number are not paid until after harvest. The amount of £2,351 4s. 7d. shown under the head of expenditure in the statement of receipts and expenditure seems to be unduly large, and in explanation I would like to say that £813 Is. 4d. was paid to the Stock Department for clearing rabbits from the Wendon Buns prior to tenants being found for them; £133 6s. was paid for the survey of a new block for settlement; £201 16s. 9d. was paid for improving the reserves by draining, road-making, &c.; and £90 Bs. 7d. was returned to the Government for train-fares, stamps, and telegrams, &c. (£47 3s. Bd. being trainfares of country Commissioners in connection with their attendance at meetings in Dunedin). The sum of £39 2s. 6d. was collected for the preparation of leases by the Commissioners' office staff, and should be deducted from the cost'of management. By deducting the foregoing figures it will be seen that the actual cost of management was £1,073 9s. 5d., or about 5J per cent, on the money collected during the year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. P. Maitland, Chairman.
