EDUCATION: TWENTY-THIBD ANNUAL EEPOET OF THE MINISTEE OF EDUCATION. [In continuation of E.-l, 1899.]

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord,— Wellington, 30th August, 1900. 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, 1899. I have, &c, W. C. WALKEE. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Eanfurly, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT. In this report and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Eeport (E.-la) on the certificate examinations, and in the Eeports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), is contained all the information that is of public interest with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1877," and " The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," and also all the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully treated of in separate papers, as follows: E.-2, Native Schools; E.-3, Industrial Schools; E.-3a, Costley Training Institution; E.-4, School for Deaf-mutes; E.-5, Manual and Technical Instruction; E.-6, New Zealand University; E.-7, University of Otago; E.-8, Canterbury College; E.-9, Auckland University College; E.-10, Victoria College; E.-11, Canterbury Agricultural College ; E.-12, Secondary Schools ; E.-13, Public Libraries. i—E. 1.

Pupils in Public Schools. The working average —which has been since 1893 the basis upon which the capitation grants are paid to Education Boards—shows for the year 1899 a further falling-off from the number previously reached. For the year 1897 the working average was 112,328; in 1898 it was 111,636 ; while last year it reached only 110,316, or 1,320 less than the year before. In the calculation of the working average for a given school are omitted all attendances on those half-days on which less than half the pupils on the roll are present; on the other hand, the strict average for any school is found by including all the half-days on which the school is open: the strict average for the twelve months ended the 31st December, 1899, was 108,405, or 1,851 less than for the previous year.

TABLE A. —School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1899.

The average of the weekly roll-numbers throughout the year was, however, only 242 less than for the year 1898, the figures being 133,540 for 1899 as against 133,782 for 1898.* Expressing the strict average attendance for the year as a percentage of the average weekly roll-numbers, we get 81 - 2 per cent, as representing the regularity of attendance during the year. This is lower than the corresponding figures for any year since 1894. In 1897 the average attendance reached 82 - 9 per cent, of the roll, and in 1898, when there was a considerable amount of sickness among children, 82-4 per cent. Table A shows the attendance for the twenty-two years that have elapsed since the passing of the Education Act. It is not easy to assign with any degree of certainty the true causes of the great falling-off in average attendance as compared with the slight decrease in the roll-numbers. There does not appear to have been any unusual amount of sickness among children, or any general prevalence of bad weather during the year. Whatever may have been the cause, the increase in the amount of irregular attendance seems to call for attention on the part of all concerned; there is little doubt that to a certain extent it is preventable.

* The returns furnished to the Registrar-General appear to show that the number on the rolls of private schools, including Roman Catholio schools, increased during 1899 by 513 pupils; the number in public secondary schools inoreased by seventeen. Taking public primary and secondary schools, and private schools of all kinds, we have therefore a net increase of 288 on the rolls. Now, allowing for deaths of children under five, the number of births in the colony during 1893 and 1894 would make us expect an increased roll-number in 1899 of about three hundred children. The agreement between these figures is so close as to lead us to the conclusion that there is little or no increase in the number of children whose names do not appear on any school roll. The leakage in the yearly average attendance is due, in short, not to the rolls, but to the irregular attendance,

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1899.

A comparison of Table B for the two years, 1898 and 1899, shows that the average number in attendance at the schools during 1899 was smaller than during 1898 in every Education District except Wellington, Marlborough, and Southland, the decrease being most marked in North Canterbury and Otago, which are accountable respectively for 792 and 788 out of the total decrease of 1851 mentioned above. There was a decline in the regularity of attendance in eight out of the thirteen districts ; it was most pronounced in Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, North Canterbury, and South Canterbury. In five districts the attendance was better than in 1898, the greatest improvement in this respect taking place in Grey and Westland; in fact, the high figures attained* in these two small districts are worthy of note. In Grey the average attendance reached 87*2 per cent, of the average roll-number, and in Westland 857 per cent. It is only fair to remark that the average attendance for the fourth quarter of 1899 shows a much smaller falling-off from that of the fourth quarter of ]898 than is shown in a comparison of the other quarters of these two years ; this fact may raise the suspicion that the exceptional causes operating to produce a low attendance during 1898 were still effective in the first three quarters of 1899. The number of Maoris, and of half-castes living as Maoris, who attend the ordinary public schools again shows an increase, but the number of Maoris living among Europeans in attendance at these schools has slightly decreased. These numbers are independent of the increased attendance in the Native schools.

Table Cis a condensed form of Table No. lin the Appendix; it gives the roll-numbers arranged for age and sex. A comparison of this table with the corresponding table in last year's report does not reveal any features that seem to call for remark; the proportion of boys to girls in the public schools of the colony remains about the same, 51 "9 per cent, to 48 - l per cent. The number below the age of ten is to the number above ten as 51"8 is to 48"2.

TABLE C. —Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1899.

Table No. 2 in the Appendix shows the numbers in the several classes for the various districts, and Table D is a summary of the same figures for the whole colony. The proportion of pupils in the preparatory classes shows an increase for the year; taking into account the pupils of all the classes below Standard 111., we find the proportion practically unchanged from that shown in 1898 ; the proportion of pupils in the Standard VI. classes has also increased; the other classes present a slight decrease. The percentages of pupils in the Standard Classes I. to VI. for the years 1898 and 1899 were respectively 71-36 and 70-84.

TABLE D. —Classification by Standards, December, 1899.

At the time of the standard examination the number of children on the rolls was 132,121; of these 40,002 were in the preparatory classes, and 2,678 had already passed Standard VI. ; there were therefore 89,441 on the rolls of Standards 1-6. Out of these 72,221 passed one or other of the Standards I. to VI. ; 13,324 failed ; and 3,896 were absent from the examination.

TABLE F.—Examination Statistics.

Of the total number on the rolls of the schools 54*66 per cent, passed the various standards ; of the number actually examined in the standard classes the failures formed 15-58 per cent. For the year 1898 the corresponding figures were 56-03 and 14-1. The falling-off in the percentage of passes may be traced partly to the smaller proportion of pupils in these classes and to the large number of absentees on the days of examination; the increase in the percentage of failures may probably be set down as a natural consequence of a larger degree of irregularity of attendance rather than as marking any greater severity in the examinations. From Table G the percentages of passes in the several standards for the different districts might be calculated; as pointed out, however, in last year's report, "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 class-subjects in some districts than in others." For the whole colony 96-4 of those present at examination in Standard I. passed; in Standard 11., 93-4 per cent. ; in Standard 111., 81-1; IV., 77-0; V., 75-5; VI., 80-3. Comparing these with the corresponding percentages for 1898, we remark that the falling-off is greatest in Standards IV., V., and VI., there being very little difference in the figures for the two years as regards standards 1., 11., and 111.

Of the total numbers on the rolls on the day of examination those passing Standard I. formed 11 per cent.; Standard 11., 11*4 per cent. ; 111., 10-6; IV., 9-5; V,, 7-3; VI., 4-8. In Table H is given the number of pupils receiving instruction in each subject of the syllabus.

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

Public Schools and Tbachees. The number of schools open at the end of 1899 was 1,645, or 21 more than were open in December, 1898. The total average attendance for the fourth quarter of 1899 was 107,066, against 107,904 in the corresponding quarter of 1898. The mean average attendance per school, therefore, fell from 66 - 4 to 65-1.

TABLE J. —Number of Schools, December, 1899. 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 20 increased by 22 —viz., from 429 to 451; the number of schools with average attendance 20 to 24 decreased by 17, from 203 to 186 ; hence the total number of schools with average attendance under 25 was 5 more than in December, 1898 —637 as against 632. The number of schools with an average attendance of 25 to 49 pupils increased by 32, the figures being in December, J899, 531 schools, and in December, 1898, 499 schools.

Taking all schools below 50 in average attendance, there was an increase in the number of schools of 37 during the year —viz., from 1,131 to 1,168; there was, on the other hand, a diminution of 16 in the number of schools of 50 and upwards in average attendance—viz., from 493 to 477; in other words, the larger schools, or town schools generally speaking, show a falling-off in attendance, while the number of small schools, or country schools, is greater than in the previous year. The number of half-time schools remained about the same as in 1898; while the number of subsidised schools, which in December, 1898, showed the large decrease of 39, again increased from 176 to 205. The half-time schools and subsidised schools are given separately in two columns of Table J, but are also included in the other figures of that table. The number of schools closed during 1898 was 24; as the net increase in the number of schools was 21, apparently the number of schools opened or reopened during the year was 45. In December, 1899, there were employed in the public schools of the colony 3,614 teachers, exclusive of sewing - mistresses; of these 2,592 were adult teachers, and 1,022 pupil-teachers. Of the former, 1,220 were men and 1,372 were women ; there were 230 male pupil-teachers and 792 female pupil-teachers. The number of adult male teachers was thirteen less, and the number of adult female teachers was two more, than in December, 1898. At the end of last year there were thirty-nine fewer female pupil-teachers and one more male pupil-teacher than at the end of 1898. Taking the working average for all the schools, the average number of children in attendance to one teacher in the last quarter of 1899 was 30 - 2.

TABLE K.—School Staff, December, 1899.

* Includes one vacancy. t Includes one general kindergarten instructor. The proportion of pupil-teachers to adult teachers at the end of 1899 was 1 pupil-teacher to 254 adults, or, roughly, two apprentices to five adult teachers. The proportion varies considerably in the various education districts. An undue number of pupil-teachers must obviously be regarded as a source of weakness ; and, as far as this element is concerned, all the North Island districts are weaker than the South Island districts, the weakest being Hawke's Bay, with 1 pupil-teacher to l - 35 adults ; Wellington, with Ito l - 4; and Wanganui, with Ito T56. Omitting the districts where small schools not having pupil-teachers are numerous, the strongest in adult teachers are—Otago, 1 pupil-teacher to 5 adults (nearly); Southland, Ito 3 - 6; and North Canterbury, Ito 335. A set-off against these figures may be found in the fact that, as shown in Table X, the number of pupils per teacher is smaller in the North than in the South, but the difference is not enough to' counterbalance the disadvantage of having too many pupil-teachers. One school, an infant-school, has only two adult teachers and. eleven apprentices. It is difficult to imagine on what grounds such an arrangement could be defended. But this is only one of many anomalies, for there are in New Zealand nearly as many methods of staffing schools as there are education districts.

The total of all salaries at the rates paid at the end of the year was £357,834: this amount includes the salaries of pupil-teachers and sewingmistresses, as well as all salaries and allowances paid to adult teachers: the average salary per teacher (including those named) was therefore ,£93 15s. sd. This amount is lower by 14s. sd. than the corresponding amount in December, 1898. If we excluded sewing-mistresses, and house-allowance paid to teachers where school houses are not provided, the average salary for all teachers would appear as £96 14s. 3d. This is probably a truer estimate than the first figure. The scales of salaries current in the various districts present an even greater variety than the modes of staffing; for instance, the salary payable to the sole teacher of a school with 20 in average attendance varies from .£7O to £115; the salaries payable to the head-teachers of schools of 600 range from £258 to £375 a year ; to the first assistant mistress in a small school, from £42 to £85 ; to the first male assistant in a large school, from £175 to £265, &c.

TABLE L.—Salaries of Teachers, December, 1899.

The total number of adult teachers (exclusive of sewing-mistresses) employed in the public schools of the colony was 2,592, of whom 2,345 were holders of certificates, 17 others had passed the certificate examination, 64 had gained a partial pass, 28 had failed, and 138 had never been examined by the Department.

In January, 1900, 148 teachers not previously certificated passed the D or the B examination ; so that the total number of teachers in service and qualified by examination is now 2,345 + 17 + 148 = 2,510. The New Regulations foe the Inspection and Examination op Schools. For some years the question of the revision of the regulations for the inspection of public schools has been much discussed by prominent educationists throughout the colony, particularly in regard to the desirability of giving headteachers a, greater amount of freedom in the classification of their pupils, of abolishing the individual standard pass, and of transferring the work of the detailed examination of the pupils of the schools from the Inspectors to the head-teachers. There appeared to be a very pronounced opinion on the part of Education Boards, School Committees, Inspectors of Schools, teachers, and others in favour of a modification of the regulations, generally, although not quite unanimously, in the direction of the changes indicated. This feeling undoubtedly received considerable stimulus from the success that had attended similar reforms in Great Britain. The question of the revision of the standard regulations was the principal subject of discussion at the Education Conference held in Wellington in July, 1899, when there were represented nine out of thirteen Education Boards, the Inspectors of Schools under the same Boards, and the various branches of the New Zealand Educational Institute. The resolutions carried at that Conference, although not altogether consistent with one another, afforded, with the discussions that took place upon them, a fairly good idea of the opinions of those with whom rests the actual work of cairying out the Education Act. Draft copies of the new regulations were sent to Education Boards, School Committees, Inspectors of Schools, and Educational Institutes, and suggestions were invited. After due consideration of these suggestions, and the introduction of slight modifications in accordance therewith, the regulations were gazetted on the 16th December, 1899, and came into force on the Ist January, 1900. It may be as well to sum up here the chief points in respect of which the new regulations differ from the old. (1.) The principal teacher of a school has " Full discretion to arrange his pupils in different classes for different subjects according to their ability and proficiency with respect to the several subjects," ..." Provided that any pupil must be placed in the same class for all the English pass-subjects—namely, reading, spelling and dictation, writing and composition." The condition that practically prevented this from being acted upon before—namely, that a pupil must be presented in a standard higher than that already passed —is now removed, and every pupil examined by the Inspector is to be examined in the class in which he has been taught. Teachers have, therefore, now, to a very large extent, freedom in regard to the classification of their pupils. It will hardly be questioned that the teacher who has taught a child throughout the year, who has watched his progress, and knows his strong points and his weak points, is the proper person to determine the classes in which he shall be placed. Fear has, indeed, been expressed that teachers may, in acquiring this liberty, be exposed to fresh anxieties by reason of pressure on the part of parents or other interested persons for the promotion of children who have not shown that they deserve it; but it may surely be hoped that a wise firmness on the part of teachers, aided by the support, if necessary, of Inspectors and School Committees, and especially by a healthy public opinion, will be sufficient to keep this danger within narrow limits. One important fact that appears to have been overlooked by some is that the teacher may be guided in his classification by all that he knows of the children's ability and proficiency, and not merely by the results of one examination in the year. Children who make more than average progress may be moved up more quickly, and those who are slower may spend a longer time in the several classes than the average child is expected to spend. The removal of the supposed necessity for hurrying all pupils through the same compulsory amount of work in the same time should give considerable relief to the

conscientious teacher, and leave him free to teach, in the highest sense of that word. (2.) In deference to the feeling of the majority of the delegates present at the Education Conference, the individual standard pass, in a modified form, has been retained; the examination on which passes in standards are based and standard certificates are granted is to be held once a year—in general, for classes Standard I. to Standard V. by the head-teacher, and for Standard VI. by the Inspector. It may emphasize what has been said above to point out definitely that this annual examination is not an examination for the purpose of classification, but for that of assigning certificates; the classification will not depend solely upon the examination, although the knowledge gained thereby will be, of course, one of the chief elements to guide the teacher in classifying his pupils. The head-teacher's examination has probably existed in most schools as a kind of preliminary practice for the Inspector's annual examination; the only difference will be that it will in some cases be now somewhat more precise in character than it was before. The Inspector's annual examination will not in general be a detailed examination of all the pupils (except those of Standard VI., or of candidates for exemption certificates), but will be such as will suffice to enable him to take a broad view of the general efficiency of the instruction given in the school. (3.) At the same time, to guard against the occasional danger of marked inefficiency in the teaching of a school or of a class, Eegulation 6 gives the Inspector power to examine all the pupils, and to direct that his results shall be those on which standard certificates are to be granted. There is nothing to prevent an Inspector who so desires it from making the exception the rule, and examining all schools in detail accordingly; but such is by no means the intention of the regulation, and it is sincerely to be hoped that those who are not already converted by the example of Great Britain, referred to above, may yet come to see that the atmosphere of liberty is the only one in which true teaching can thrive, and may give the new system a fair trial. One of the greatest of its advantages will certainly be that Inspectors will be more free to devote their attention as experts to the wider issues of school work and organization, that they will have time to visit more frequently schools that need their help, and to assist teachers in the improvement of the methods of instruction and of the management of their schools. The work of the Inspector, in short, will be qualitative rather than quantitative ; he will influence the character of the teaching instead of attempting to measure the amount of knowledge possessed by each individual child. The remaining features of the new regulations may be summed up briefly : The standard of exemption, by the unanimous consent of all concerned, has been raised to the Fifth Standard; handwork, which under the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act of 1895 might be introduced into any public school, may now be substituted for certain other subjects, and therefore may be introduced into a school without increasing the burden laid upon the children and their teachers. Except in respect of this change and of the transference of some of the subjects from the pass-group to the class-group, no change has been made in the requirements of the syllabus, as it was considered that time should be allowed to gauge the effect of the degree of freedom afforded by the new regulations. Undoubtedly, however, especially in smaller schools, the number of compulsory subjects is such as to affect prejudicially the quality of the instruction, and relief might be with advantage granted to both teachers and taught. The syllabus of some of the subjects, moreover, requires revision in the light of recent experience and of current ideas. It has been thought well to postpone consideration of the syllabus until after the conference of Inspectors which it is proposed to hold in Wellington about the end of January, 1901,

Cadet Coeps. Last session a vote of ,£4OO was passed for the purchase of 2,000 model (or dummy) rifles for use in public schools. These were obtained, and were offered (see Appendix, p. 110) on simple conditions to Education Boards for supply to those schools where cadet companies should be formed. The issue of the models so far has been as follows: Wellington, 613; Nelson, 182; Westland, 80 ; Grey, 60; Taranaki, 40; North Canterbury, 36. The Industrial Schools at Burnham and Caversham have each received 50. The use of these model rifles seems to give greater interest to the drill, paving the way for the general instruction of the youth of the colony in the elementary principles of national defence. To carry out the ideas more fully it will be necessary to provide trained instructors so that the teachers of the schools may be able to drill their pupils in an efficient manner. In order to place all matters connected with cadet corps on a proper and uniform footing it has been decided that all such matters, including the management of cadet corps in the secondary schools, shall be under the control of the Education Department.

TABLE P.—Money Liabilities (and Balances), December, 1899.

Tables 0 and P show the financial position of the Boards on the 31st December, 1899. Taking both the General Account and the Buildings Account, it appears that the Boards went back in their finances £11,430 19s. Id. during the year. In December, 1898, their total assets were ,£59,253 7s. 4d.; liabilities, £41,397 3s. 5d.; and the net balance (excess of balances over deficits), £17,856 os. lid. In December, 1899, the total assets were £50,467 35.; total liabilities, £44,041 18s. 2d.; and the net balance (excess of balances over deficits), £6,425 4s. 10d. On the Buildings Account for 1898 one Board (Auckland) showed a deficit; last year two Boards (Auckland and Otago) showed deficits, but the total deficit on this account was less than that of the single Board in the previous year. On the two accounts together (Buildings and General Accounts) four Boards improved their position during the year — namely, Auckland, by £925 14s. 9d.; Taranaki, £245 2s. 10d.; Marlborough, £280 13s. Id.; and South Canterbury, £50 12s. 10d. The remaining nine Boards were in a worse position at the end of 1899 than on the 31st December, 189d —Wanganui, by £2,625; Wellington, by £4,126; Hawke's Bay, £2,501; Nelson, £209; Grey, £198; Westland, £347; North Canterbury, £317; Otago, £731; Southland, £1,880. Only two of these Boards actually had deficits at the end of the year; these were Wellington, which changed a credit balance of £205 os. 7d. into an adverse balance of £3,921 9s. 3d., and Otago, which increased its deficit from £3,037 2s. Bd. to £3,767 17s. Bd. In Otago the average attendance showed a decrease cf 725, which accounts for a falling-off in the Board's revenue of £2,719; in the Wellington District, on the other hand, there was an increase in the average attendance of 351, and a consequent increase in the capitation allowance of £1,316. The last clause of section 39 of " The Education Act, 1877," which throws upon the Boards the responsibility of regulating their expenditure upon the basis of the estimate of their income for the year, seems to have a pertinent relation to the issues raised by the facts stated above. In Table Q will be found figures in reference to the deficiency of school buildings, schools with less than ten pupils in average attendance being omitted from the statement. Out of 1,544 schools, 77 were being carried on in buildings not belonging to Boards; there is a marked improvement here, as at the end of 1898 there were 191 schools out of 1,521 similarly unprovided for. The same remark cannot be made regarding teachers' houses, for the number of schools without residences increased from 457 to 517. Allowing 10 square feet per child, an estimate by no means high, 42 schools are more or less overcrowded.

TABLE Q.— Deficiency of School Buildings. (In this table schools with less than ten pupils have not been counted.)

The distribution of the ordinary votes for school buildings was made as follows: Auckland, £9,450; Taranaki, £1,650; Wanganui, £3,925; Wellington, £5,050; Hawke's Bay, £2,525 ; Marlborough, £900; Nelson, £2,025; Grey, £775; Westland, £750; North Canterbury, £6,000 ; South Canterbury, £1,800; Otago, £6,000; Southland, £3,400; balance to Native schools, £750: total, £45,000. The following distribution was made of the special vote for schools in newly settled districts: Auckland, £3,112; Taranaki. £1,605; Wanganui, £2,479; Wellington, £2,168; Hawke's Bay, £1,185;' Marlborough, £644; Nelson, £489; Grey, £319; Westland, £200; North Canterbury, £1,642; South Canterbury, £825 ; Otago, £1,389; Southland, £703; Native schools, £3,368; undistributed, £4,872 : total, £25,000. Considerable difficulty was experienced in making a fair allocation of the moneys available under this vote; the difficulty was due mainly (1) to the different idea's held by the various Boards of the schools properly to be included under the term " schools in newly settled districts," some Boards apparently holding the view that it applied to all new schools, or even to the extension and rebuilding of old schools, while other Boards based their applications on the more obvious interpretation that it applied only to schools in districts so recently settled as to allow time for a school population to grow up; (2) to the varying ideas of the extent and cost of the buildings required (to start a school) for a given number of children ; (3) to the large excess of the amounts claimed by the Boards over the amount available, the total claims amounting to £47,354; (4) to the absence in the Education Department of the means for directly checking the claims either in respect to the character of the districts in which it was proposed to set up new schools, as to the number of children of school age likely to attend the schools if erected, or as to the reasonableness of the amount claimed. The Inspectors of Schools, who are or might be the persons best fitted to supply this information, are the officers of the Boards, and their services are not available to the Department for this purpose ; in consequence, inquiries that were necessarily largely indirect, and somewhat prolonged, were instituted, and the utmost that can be said is that all that could be done under the circumstances was done to make the distribution an equitable one. The difficulties might be avoided in the future by subdividing in a somewhat different manner the various votes for school buildings under the heads of (a) the maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of old schools ; (b) the erection of new school buildings. It is also desirable that the Education Department should have direct means of obtaining information in regard at least to the claims made under the heading (b).

SCHOLAESHIPS. Table B. shows the number of Education Board scholarships held in December, 1899, with their tenure and annual value. The total expenditure of the Boards under this head amounted to .£8,424 4s. 2d.; the total paid to the Boards for scholarship purposes by the department was ,£7,986 Is. lid.

TABLE R.—Scholarships.

As stated in last year's report, 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. But that fact and the slightly varying conditions prevailing in the different districts are not sufficient to explain the extremely diverse methods of dealing with the scholarship allowance ; in consequence of this diversity, and of the very various degrees in which assistance is offered by the different secondary schools to promising pupils from the primary schools, it can hardly be said that clever boys or girls have an equal chance in every part of the colony. Training Schools. The vote of £600 for the training of teachers was divided equally between the Normal Schools at Christchurch and Dunedin. These are at present the only training institutions for teachers in the colony ; in some other districts a certain degree of provision for the training of teachers has been made, but, owing chiefly to want of funds, it is not such as can be considered adequate. Many teachers also are prepared for their certificate examination by private tuition; it must not be overlooked that the passing of a certificate examination is a very small part of what should be required, even when superimposed upon a pupil-teacher course, and it by no means necessarily produces a trained teacher. It will become a question for consideration in the near future whether definite training for all teachers should not be provided by the State. In the case of the four large centres it will be possible to co-ordinate this with the work of the University Colleges; at the smaller centres those who cannot, by scholarships or otherwise, find admittance to the four chief Normal Schools should likewise have the opportunity, by means of classes, of undergoing a regular course of training. Eailway Passes foe Pupils of Public and Private Schools. The total amount paid under this head to the Eailway Department in 1899 was £3,294 10s., of which £1,071 was for fares of children attending private schools. School Commissionees.

TABLE S.—Summary of School Commissioners' Accounts.

The payments made to Education Boards out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1899 were ,£40,354 13s. 10d. The revenues of the Boards are not, however, increased thereby, 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 amounted to £4,016 7s. 10d. Native Schools. The number of Maori village schools in operation at the end of 1899 was eighty-four, four more than were open in December, 1898. The number of children on the rolls of these schools on 31st December, 1899, was 3,065, or 93 more than at the end of the previous year. The average weekly roll-number during 1899 was 3,255, which shows an increase of 199; but there was a slight falling-off in the regularity of attendance, as the strict average attendance increased only by 93 - 75 —namely, from 2,341 to 2,434-75 ; in other words, the average attendance during 1899 was 748 per cent, of the average roll-number, as against 76 - 6 in 1898. Two new schools —Waimana, in the Tuhoe country, and Wai-o-tapu, in the Rotorua district—were opened during the year, and seem to promise success. Three schools were reopened; these are —Peria, in the Mangonui district; Whangape, in the Hokianga district; and Otamatea, in the Kaipara district. At the first two schools there has been a large attendance since the reopening; in the case of the third serious sickness has interfered with progress. The school at Karikari (Tauranga) was removed to a new site at Papamoa; the name of the Koriniti school (Wanganui district) was changed at the request of the Maoris to Pamoana. One school, Mawhitiwhiti, in the Taranaki district, was closed towards the end of the year, in consequence of the continued apathy of the people. More recently, since the beginning of the present year, it has been found necessary, by reason of greatly diminished attendance, to close two other schools —Whakarapa, near Hokianga, (temporarily), and Huria, near Tauranga.

On the other hand, since the end of 1899, a school has been opened at Touwai, near Whangaroa; at Euapnke, near, Foveaux Strait, the building is ready for a teacher; and tenders are soon to be invited for the erection of schools at Tapuaeharuru, close to Lake Eoto-iti, and at Te Haroto, on the Napier-Taupo Eoad. In regard to the proposals for new schools, there seems to be, in three or four cases at least, a fair prospect of success; and should difficulties as to sites, &c, be overcome, the schools in question should be opened at no distant date. One of the most pleasing features in connection with the work of the year is our continued successful advance into the northern portion of the Tuhoe or Urewera country. The examination reports of the schools examined during the year 1899 show that 403 children passed Standard I.; 340, Standard II.; 242, Standard III.; 143, Standard IV. ; 40, Standard V.; and 17, Standard VI. Except in Standard 1., where a stricter test was imposed, and in Standard IV., which shows five less than in 1898, these numbers are higher than in 1898. The four Maori boarding-schools—Te Aute and St. Stephen's for boys, Hukarere and St. Joseph's for girls—carried on their work as usual. Mr. Pope reports, as usual, his visits to these schools, as also visits paid to the denominational schools at Waerenga-a-Hika, Otaki, Putiki, and Matata, and the results of his examination for the Te Makarini scholarships. The sterling advantages offered by the latter are due to private beneficence. Government maintains 27 boys and 38 girls as scholarship-holders or pupils at the four secondary schools, two medical students at the Otago University, one student at Canterbury College, six apprentices or holders of industrial scholarships, and one girl holding a hospital-nursing scholarship at the Napier Hospital. In addition to the scholarships given to Maori boys and girls who have passed the Fourth Standard in the Native village schools, there have now been established scholarships for deserving Maori children attending the ordinary public schools. A Maori boy or girl entitled to such a scholarship may be sent to a higher school approved of by the Minister, or may be apprenticed to learn a trade. In order to gain a better insight into the actual working of the Maori-school system, the Inspector-General of Schools, in March and April of the present year, visited the Maori village schools of the East Coast and Bay of Plenty districts, the convent school at Matata, and the school at Rakaumanga, near the King Settlement; also Te Aute College, Hukarere Maori Girls' High School, and St. Stephen's Boarding-school for Boys, Auckland. The following are extracts from his report: — Nearly all the teachers seemed to be doing conscientious work, although there is naturally much difference in the quality of their performances. Although our Native-school Inspectors have always laid great stress upon the teaching of English, I am convinced that even greater attention and a larger amount of time ought to be devoted to this subject, especially to the speaking of English, and that we ought to be content with no standard that doe.s not include such proficiency in English speech as would enable Maori children to readily express themselves in our language, and to read ordinary English books and newspapers. The amount of arithmetic, geography, and history might be somewhat curtailed. Drawing of the South Kensington First Grade type is being discredited even for European children ; as an educational instrument for the education of the Maori I believe it is almost useless. The drawing in Native schools I would limit, perhaps entirely, to drawing to scale and to the making of such sketches, plans, and elevations as would be required for the hand-work they have to do. Next to the strengthening of English, I consider the introduction of a substantial amount of hand-work, or of manual and practical industrial instruction, with the aim not only of imparting practical skill, but in order also to stimulate in the Maori children a liking for work. Manual instruction should be introduced as soon as possible in all efficient schools. Many of our teachers suffer from want of training; it seems to me just as important that Maori-school teachers should be trained in methods as that other teachers should. It would be a good thing, I think, if we could have an organizing superintendent of Native schools to visit schools, and to stay long enough, especially in weak schools, to show masters good methods, and, where suitable, to introduce hand-work. The time seems to have come for a revision of the Native Schools Code in some respects— e.g., as regards methods of payment of teachers, in addition to the amendment of the syllabus as indicated

above. ,1 had several strongtestimonies given to me unasked, as to the good the Native schools haVe done and are doing; but there are many hindrances to the work. Among these I would put ... the vast expenditure by the Maoris of time and means on meetings of one kind and another (these unsettle the minds of the children, and do much to prevent the formation of good habits); the influence of the Maori tohungas and their superstitions, which lead to practices often dangerous to health . . .; the absence of facilities for young Maoris of both sexes,.taught in the village and secondary schools, to lead the more civilised life they have learnt; in consequence of this they often, it is to be feared, fail to make the best use of the greater knowledge they have acquired, or even altogether miss the benefits that their education should confer on them. . ■ .. ■..:.•„ I am not sure that I can suggest a better remedy for the last evil than is contained in a recent suggestion of Mr. Pope's, if it is possible to apply it—namely, the formation of special settlements in which young educated Maoris could live in the European fashion, and learn to work steadily and intelligently. It is true that we must not expect results too soon; a native race like the Maori is probably not likely to adopt our ways more rapidly, but less rapidly, by reason of its own inherent strength of character, which imposes an obstacle very real, if not very visible, to the inroad of foreign ideas,. lam glad to see that the Government has approved the recommendations I have ; made for the immediate extension of hand-work in Native schools, for the establishment of technical schools for those who have left the Maori village-schools, and for the substantial encouragement of manual and technical instruction at Te Aute and St. Stephen's. lam sure this course of action will result in great benefit to the Native-school system and the whole Maori race." In connection with the remarks of the Inspector-General, it may be mentioned that three technical schools for Maori boys who have left the villageschools are already being set up at Eakaumanga, Bangitukia, and Whirinaki respectively, and that, at the request of the Maoris themselves, carpentry is the subject with which a start is to be made; other subjects'will follow in due course, and if the experiment succeeds, there is no reason why technical schools should not be opened in other districts also. In like manner the Government is giving substantial encouragement to the manual and technical instruction at Te Aute and St. Stephen's. Hand-work is being taken up with enthusiasm in some of the village-schools. A vote will be placed on the estimates for providing a visiting teacher (or "organizing superintendent"), who will be able to spend a much longer time at schools where his presence is found to be helpful than the Native-school Inspectors can afford to give, and will devote, moreover, special attention to organizing the manual and technical work in the schools. Out of the eighty-five schools in operation during the whole or part of the year 1899, sixty-five were under the charge of masters, and twenty under the charge of mistresses ; the number of assistants was 63 ; of sewing-mis-tresses, 11. The head-masters received salaries ranging from £100 to .£275 ; head-mistresses, from £61 to £187 ; the salaries of assistants, who in nearly all cases belong to the family of the head-teacher, ranged from merely nominal amounts to £50. The expenditure on Native schools was as follows : Teachers' salaries and allowances, £13,586 18s. 5d.; books and school requisites, £499 7s. 7d. ; repairs and small works, £535 ss. 9cL ; inspection, £962 2s. 7d.; boarding-schools and scholarships, £1,809 6s. 4d.;' buildings, fencing, furniture, &c, £5,477 13s. 6d.; sundries, £160 6s. 4d. : total, £23,031 os. 6d. The report of the Inspector of Native Schools (E.-2) contains full information as to details in regard to the Maori village schools and the boarding-schools, and many interesting remarks upon the nature of the work being done in the Maori schools, together with a review of the progress made during the last twenty years. Industeial Schools. At the end of 1899 there were on the books of all the industrial schools 1,668 inmates, or 114 more than at the end of the previous year —namely, 57 more on the books of the Government schools, and 57 more on those of the private industrial schools. Although all these 1,668 are legally classed as " inmates of industrial schools," only 590 were actually resident in the schools. There were 417 boarded out, 21 in various corrective institutions, and 5 in orphan homes: that is, there were 1,033 who were dependent on the State for maintenance. The remaining 635 were still under control and supervision, although they were not dependent on the schools for maintenance ; these were accounted for as follows : Licensed to reside with friends, 138 ; at service, 453 ; in hospital, 7 ; in lunatic asylum, 2 ; in the Costley Training Institution, on probation, 1; in the Auckland Blind Asylum, 1; in the Sumner, Deaf-mute Institute, 1; in other institutions without payment, 7; in gaol, 4 ; absent without iii—E. 1,

leave, 21 (11 from "the schools, and 10 from service). Of those thus absent without leave, 11 were included in the number missing on the 31st December, 1898. Out of the total number of 1,668 " inmates," 560 belonged to private industrial schools, and 1,108 were on the books of the three Government industrial schools—viz., Auckland, 89 ; Burnham, 524 ; Caversham, 495. Of those belonging to private schools (560), 390 were in residence at the institutions, 9 were boarded out, 69 were with friends, and 81 at service. The number in residence at the Government industrial schools was 200 (Auckland, 9 ; Burnham, 104 ; Caversham, 87); the number boarded out was 408 (Auckland, 44 ; Burnham, 158; Caversham, 206); there were 69 with friends, and 372 were at service.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1898 and 1899.

It is now eighteen years since the Industrial Schools Act was passed, and there is no doubt that by means of the powers granted therein an immense amount of good has been done for the "children of the State," and therefore for the State itself. But the time seems to have arrived when the working of the Act and other questions connected with the care of orphan, destitute, neglected, and criminal children may be passed under review. The ideas set forth by Mr. Douglas Morrison ("Juvenile Delinquency"), and by other writers, have changed many of the opinions formerly current in regard to these matters; but in this colony these ideas require some modification in view of the almost entire absence of a hereditary criminal class, and in view of other circumstances in respect of which New Zealand happily differs from older countries. Children that come under the care of the State may be roughly classified as — (1.) Those who are orphans or those who are simply destitute, without any other abnormal characteristics. The duty of the State towards these appears to be that it shall take the place of a parent, and accordingly put them as far as possible in the same circumstances as those in which they would have been placed if they had had parents capable of bringing them up in a normal manner. Boarding-out to carefully chosen foster-parents, under due restrictions, seems at once the most natural and most satisfactory method of dealing with these cases. (2.) Those that exhibit various degrees of juvenile delinquency, including, of course, those who, being orphan or destitute or both, have not escaped a perceptible taint of evil. And. it may be remarked here that the destitute child is more frequently than not of'this class. Unfortunately juvenile delinquency has not shown a marked decrease of late years in any civilised country, but in most countries it has, on the contrary, increased. I. Its causes are to some extent the same as those that operate in the case of adult crime, and the problem cannot be attacked as a whole without dealing with the conditions that produce crime in modern society. The chief external causes of juvenile crime are, — (a.) The stress of the struggle of life; (b.) Bad hygienic surroundings, and consequent inferior physique; (c.) The temptations that result from overcrowding, and from the greater facilities for committing petty thefts with impunity that exist in towns as compared with the country.

General considerations and the statistics of our industrial schools alike tend to show that causes (a) and (b) are far less operative in New Zealand than in older countries; but (c) is an important factor, inasmuch as the tendency to flock into the towns from the country is not unknown as a feature of the life of these young countries. 11. The more immediate causes of juvenile depravity are, — (d.) Inherited low physical and moral nature; (c.) Weakness and want of control on part of parents, commonly producing as its fruit absence of self-control on the part of children; (/.) The neglect and bad example of parents. The causes we have principally to deal with are therefore (c), (d), (c), (/). Of these causes (c), and therefore also (b) and (d), would be partly met — (1.) By any remedy that so ameliorated the economic condition of the rural population that they would not be tempted to forsake the comparative wholesomeness of the country for the temptations and vicissitudes of the towns (this is the form in which the case is stated by Morrison : in New Zealand the great loneliness of country life in remote places, the absence of opportunities for reasonable recreation, the greater attractiveness of town life, and to some extent, perhaps, also the too exclusively bookish training given in our public schools are causes of the influx into the towns that actually takes place). (2.) By removing back into the country those who are in danger of succumbing to the temptations and vicissitudes of the towns. Want of parental control (c) might often be lessened by bringing home to -parents their responsibilities towards their children. It is not therefore desirable to diminish the burden of maintenance, or to take away from parents the duty of control, so long as there is any reason to hope that the evil will cure itself without depriving the child of its natural guardianship. For the most part the course of juvenile delinquency passes through the following stages:— (1.) The acquiring of nomadic habits, exhibited in truancy and vagrancy; (2.) Petty thefts and other isolated offences against property; (3.) More serious and habitual offences against property and offences against the person. These stages correspond to successive periods of physical and moral development, that may be described as—the period of childhood, eight or nine to thirteen or fourteen; the period of growth towards maturity, thirteen or fourteen to sixteen; and the period of maturity, fifteen or sixteen to twentyfive. In the great majority of cases young criminals begin by becoming accustomed to a nomadic life, and the greatest blow to juvenile delinquency would be dealt by stopping this at the outset. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the necessity for preventing children from acquiring the nomadic habit. Day industrial schools (or truant schools) would afford a good means of stopping incipient nomadism, without lessening the responsibility of parents. A greater stringency of the compulsory clauses of the School Attendance Act, and a substantial increase of the fines for irregular attendance and habitual truancy, would bring home to parents the duty that, through weakness or neglect, they too often overlook, and the danger their children are running. The truant schools should be staffed more fully, and with adult teachers only. Children whose school attendance was unsatisfactory could be committed to a truant school instead of being committed to an industrial school, or could be sent to a truant school even when committed to an industrial school, as a first attempt towards improvement. The parent would thus still have the onus of maintaining and controlling his child thrown upon him, and the lesson learnt would often be sufficient. Sometimes distaste for school or for any mental effort affords the first incentive to truancy; the instruction in these schools should therefore be shaped as far as possible so as to overcome that objection on the part of the child. If marked improvement were shown, a child could be sent back after a short time to the ordinary public school. It should be distinctly understood that the teacher of the truant school has duties and powers out of school hours, as well as in. It would be his duty to visit the homes, to ascertain the cause of absence, and to report at once any truancy or irregularity of attendance. Children for whom this remedy proved insufficient could be committed, as now, to an industrial school.

There is no doubt that the establishment of truant schools would result in a saving to the country, as we should thereby prevent many from taking the first step on the road to crime. If contributions from parents of children committed to industrial schools were more strictly required and enforced, so that negligent or weak parents could not hope to be relieved of the burden of maintenance on account of their neglect or inability to exercise due control, then the warning given by the milder measure of committal to a truant school would be more likely to be effective (cases of pure destitution are, of course, not here referred to). The key-note of the most recent and intelligent methods of dealing with juvenile delinquents is classification, and the classification should be as complete as circumstances allow, beginning before any criminal signs have appeared. We have, therefore, the distinction between the orphanage and the industrial school, between the industrial school and the reformatory, and between the reformatory and the prison or the rescue-home. For the orphanage we have substituted the boarding-out system. The industrial schools, which would probably be most successful if separate institutions were provided for the two sexes, should contain those who need firm control and systematic treatment but who cannot be described as criminal or criminally disposed. The reformatories should contain those who are viciously uncontrollable, or are criminally disposed, or who are actually criminals too young for prison treatment. These must be separate for the two sexes. It has been suggested that children (vagrant, uncontrollable, &c.) who have been convicted of any indictable offence might be committed to an industrial school up to the age of fourteen; but that no one should be detained as a resident inmate of an industrial school after the age of fifteen, except for brief periods, as when being transferred from one employer to another, unless he or she be physically unfit for work. Any one between the ages of ten and eighteen convicted of an indictable offence should be committed to a reformatory, with or without a previous sentence of imprisonment; notwithstanding this, children under twelve convicted of indictable offences, but not previously convicted, might be sent to an industrial school, unless it should appear that they had already become habitual criminal offenders. All children or young persons committed to industrial schools or reformatories should be under control until the age of twenty-one, unless discharged earlier. Inmates of reformatories might within the first six months be transferred to industrial schools, and inmates of industrial schools might at any time be transferred to reformatories. These precautions would be necessary in order to secure a classification based upon character, for the order of committal is by no means a reliable index of the character of the inmate. Inmates of prisons under eighteen years of age might be transferred to reformatories. In both industrial schools and reformatories there should be further classification ; in the former the classification may be on the basis of age, and need not amount to complete separation. The classification in a reformatory should be thorough ; there should be at least three classes, and promotion from class to class and early release should depend on good conduct and diligence in learning a trade. The lowest class would be governed by rules which resemble prison rules, but the educative purpose of the institution should even there be the most prominent. The planning of the building would be an important point, so as to fit in with the classification. The training in both industrial schools and reformatories should be really industrial; a boy or a girl should be so taught that a taste for manual employment should be acquired, and a trade properly learnt, or the learning of it properly begun. Several trades should be taught, and each reformatory should be to a large extent self-supporting. Farming and other country occupations may be looked upon as the most important of all " trades " for children of this class. And, reverting to the causes of all the evils we are attacking, effort should constantly be made to direct the attention of inmates towards a country life, except in cases where there was an obvious unfitness for such a life. To give concrete form to these ideas, one might suggest for New Zealand some such scheme as the following:— (1.) Day industrial or truant schools—to begin with, one in each of the four large towns;

E.-l

(2.) Two industrial schools-— ' , (a) For boys, with 50 to 100 acres of good land; (b) for girls; (3.) Two reformatories— (a) For boys; (b) for girls; and (4.) That trades (including agriculture) should be taught; (5.) That fuller supervision should be exercised over boarded-out children and inmates licensed out to friends or employers; and (6.) That receiving-homes should be established in places at a distance from the industrial schools. It is on these lines that the Government has been proceeding during the past year. When the changes are completed, there will be a reformatory for boys at Burnham; a reformatory for girls near Christchurch; an industrial school for girls at Caversham ; an industrial school for boys in the south of the North Island; an auxiliary industrial, school for girls and young bbys at Auckland; receiving-homes for girls and young boys at Wellington and Christchurch. Up to the present time,(July, 1900) the following progress has been made : A suitable property has been bought by the Government at Mount Albert, near Auckland ; the Auckland Industrial School has been transferred there, and is in full working order. A house, with nine acres of land, has been taken on a ten years' lease, with the right of purchase, at Burwood, near Christchurch (" Te Oranga Home"); the necessary alterations have been effected, the staff has been appointed, and the home will be opened very shortly. All the girls have been removed from Burnham, to which boys needing a larger degree of control have been sent from Caversham. The " industrial-school boys " proper at Burnham occupy the quarters formerly assigned to the girls, and are kept as distinct as possible from the "reformatory boys." The " industrial-school boys" from Burnham and Caversham will be transferred to the new industrial school as soon as it is ready. An official correspondent has been appointed for the purpose of looking after industrial-school inmates boarded out and industrialschool girls licensed to service in the Wellington District. There were already official correspondents at Christchurch and Dunedin, and the manager of the Auckland Industrial School performs these duties in addition to her other duties. The Visiting Officer of industrial-school inmates having found the work too heavy to allow him to see the inmates frequently enough, a second Visiting Officer has been appointed to visit inmates boarded out or licensed to friends or employers in various parts of the colony. Negotiations for the receiving-homes at Wellington and Christchurch are almost completed, and the homes will be opened shortly. These homes are intended for the temporary accoxnmodation of children committed to industrial schools (not of reformatory cases), and of industrial-school girls who have left the service of one employer and are waiting for another situation. One important purpose to be served by these receiving-homes is that children may be boarded out or licensed out to service in the districts to which they belong without haying to be transferred (except in reformatory cases) from one part of the colony to the other. Technical instructors have been appointed at Burnham, and the same course will be followed, as occasion arises, at the other main institutions. Except where it is shown that an inmate boarded out is receiving a due amount of industrial training, it is proposed to remove him, at the age of twelve or thirteen, for two years to the institution to which he belongs, in order that he may be properly taught a trade. These remarks apply to Government industrial schools, (including reformatories). It is, however, desirable that the organization of the private schools should be modified, if necessary, so that they may fall into line with the general scheme, and be controlled by the same general regulations. It is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in accomplishing this. The principle of punishing the parent for the consequences of his neglect to exercise due control over his children is recognised in the Young Persons Protection Bill. The same principle might, with advantage, be extended

E.—l

to cases in which want of parental control brings a child within the Industrial Schools Act or any other similar Act— e.g., Act—that may be passed. During the year 1899 113 inmates passed out of the control of the schools, namely: Discharged, 79; having reached the age of twenty-one years, 17; by transfer to the Costley Training Institution, 8; by marriage, 1; by death, 8. Of the eight deaths three were those of resident inmates —two girls, one from tubercular meningitis, and one from pneumonia, at St. Mary's, Auckland, and one girl at St. Mary's, Nelson, from pneumonia; three were deaths of inmates licensed to parents or friends—viz., one girl from pneumonia, one from pulmonary consumption, and one boy from cardiac disease; two were boys licensed to service—one from pneumonia, the other from blood-poisoning. Table U gives the fullest details available regarding the character of the parents of children admitted during the year and in respect to the causes of committal. It cannot be regarded as accurate in every, detail; more especially as to the causes of committal it should be noted, as remarked in last year's report, that the clause under which a child is sent to an industrial school is by no means a reliable index of the child's moral character. The religion of the 227 children admitted during the year was thus described: Church of England, 79; Eoman Catholic, 86 ; Presbyterian, 48 ; Methodist, 9 ; " Protestant," 4; Salvation Army, 1. Out of the total number, 53 were from Dunedin, 51 from Auckland, 32 from Wellington, and 12 from Christchurch, or 148 in all from the four chief centres of population. Of the smaller towns, Greymouth is rather prominent with 22 committals; the committals from other small towns and country districts are in every case under 10 in number.

TABLE U. —Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1899.

The balance in the Post-Office Savings-Bank on 31st December, 1899, on account of the earnings of inmates on the books of Government industrial schools was £11,115 os. 5d., and on account of inmates belonging to private schools £1,411 14s. Id. The amount withdrawn during the year for inmates of Government schools was £625 7s. lid., and for inmates of private schools £27 9s.

Table W shows the expenditure on the Government schools, including the cost of inmates boarded out, the salaries of the resident staffs, of the medical officers, of two official correspondents, and of the visiting officer of boarded-out and service inmates ; the table also gives the amounts of the recoveries from Charitable Aid Boards, from parents, from the sale of farm produce, &c.

TABLE W.— Expenditure on Governement Schools, 1899.

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

TABLE X.—Government Expenditure on Private Schools (R.C.), 1899.

During 1899, inmates were maintained in four other institutions, and the expenditure on this account was as follows : Mission Home, Jerusalem, Wanganui (Mother Aubert's), £124165.; St. Mary's, Eichmond, Christchurch, £45 11s. 5d.; Samaritan Home, Christchurch, £3 9s. ; Mount Magdala, Christchurch, £208 os. lid. Further information is given in other tables appended to the paper E.-3. Institute foe the Blind. The Jubilee Institute for the Blind is a private institution, and is not in any way under Government control, although it has received grants from time to time out of the Consolidated Eevenue, and receives payment from the Education Department on account of pupils for whose tuition the department is responsible. The payments made on behalf of such pupils to the Institute during the year amounted to £324 ss. 3d., towards which the parents contributed £19 18s. The number of these pupils at the end of 1899 was 9. The Department also paid £30 for a yearly railway-ticket for the use of an agent of the Institute. The grants referred to above were made through the Department in charge of hospitals and charitable aid, and accordingly no account is given of them here. School foe Deaf-mutes. The roll of this school includes, with one or two exceptions, all the known deaf-mutes of school age and of sound intellect in the colony who have been brought under the notice of the Education Department. The method of instruction used at Sumner is the oral method, in favour of which there is a vast predominance of expert opinion. According to it the pupils are taught, by watching the mouth of the speaker, to follow the speech of any person who will

take the trouble to articulate properly, and are trained themselves to speak so as to be easily understood by others. The power of understanding and of being understood thus acquired is made the stepping-stone to general education, as in the case of hearing children. If it were generally known that without special education deaf-mute children would grow up with minds almost entirely undeveloped, there would not be the repugnance there occasionally is now on the part of parents to allowing their children to go away from them for a time to the only institution in the colony at which they can receive that special education. The best service that parents or friends of such children can render them is to bring their cases under the notice of the Director at the time of his periodical visits to various parts of the colony, or under the notice of the Department by letter addressed to the Secretary for Education. Payment is not insisted on when parents are unable to contribute towards the cost of educating their deafmute children. During the year 1899, 10 boys and 6 girls left, and 3 boys and 6 girls were admitted; at the end of the year there were 43 children —22 boys and 21 girls—at the institution. One of these was, for special reasons, boarded out in the neighbourhood. During the first half of the year the school was attacked by an epidemic of diphtheria, most of the cases being of a mild type. Fortunately, no fatal case recurred; and the recurrence of the outbreak has been guarded against as far as possible by the removal of its apparent cause. During 1899 the main portion of the institution, which had previously been rented from a private owner, was, with part of the land attached to it, purchased by the Government, which also bought some rising ground to the south-west, adjoining the former property; the whole, which comprises about eighteen acres, forms an excellent site for the permanent institution, and it is proposed to ask Parliament for a vote to enable the work of building to be begun at an early date. The gross expenditure for the year ended 31st December, 1899, was £3,444 2s. 5d., made up as follows: Salary of Director and teachers, £1,339 2s. Id.; steward, matron, and servants, £483 ; rent, 470 ; housekeeping, £778 175.; travelling-expenses, £156 9s. 9d.; school material, £10 Bs. 5d.; repairs and. works, £55 3s. lid.; clothing, £15 19s. 9d. ; medical attendance and medicine, £44 2s. Bd.; water-supply, £21 19s. 6d.; sanitary precautions, £15 14s. 4d.; sundries, £53 ss. Less amount contributed by parents, £199 15s. Net expenditure, £3,244 7s. sd. Cost of land and buildings purchased, £4,700; portion paid to 31st December, 1899, £2,700. Manual Teaining and Technical Insteuction. The general remarks made in last year's report as to the importance and prospects of manual training in our schools, and of technical instruction for the youth of the colony, still hold good, and it is not necessary to repeat them here. It is not in the improvement of industrial processes alone that the general introduction of manual and technical training would produce good results, but in the gradual recasting of the whole educational system which it would involve— in the more complete adjustment of our intellectual and practical life to our actual environment which an enlightened scheme of this kind would certainly bring about. But the progress that can be recorded in New Zealand during 1899 is little, if -any ; in some places the movement has gone forward a little, in others it has gone back—in fact, no substantial progress can be looked for until substantial provision has been made by the legislature for its encouragement. The new regulations for the examination of public schools give somewhat greater facilities for the introduction of hand-work into the course of primary school instruction; but without special grants for this purpose it is not likely that many Education Boards will be likely to encourage its introduction into their schools. Table V shows the administration of the resources afforded by the Act of 1895, the capitation paid on account of classes, and the amounts of special grants in certain cases.

The stimulus and encouragement afforded to students by these examinations have been considerable, and our indebtedness to the authorities named is none the less because the examinations are conducted and prizes are given on the same terms as for students in the United Kingdom, at a comparatively small cost to the colony. No account is taken here of the important technical work done in connection with the Otago School of Mines, the Canterbury College Engineering School, and other institutions; nor of the manual instruction given in many iv—E. 1.

of the primary schools and secondary schools, as no specific information in regard to them is in the possession of the department. Secondaey Schools. The reports of the secondary schools are given in a separate paper (E.-12). In regard to the inspection of these schools, it is proposed in future in all cases to send copies of the reports of inspection to the governing bodies and headmasters; and, in addition, to publish a summary of such reports at the end of each year in the special paper E.-12. As the inspection of the secondary schools was, unavoidably, not completed in 1899, no summary of the reports appears this year. The income of all the secondary schools for 1899 from school-fees, not including fees for boarding, was £24,713; from rents and interest, ,£22,559; from endowments administered by the School Commissioners, £3,017. The total number of pupils on the rolls in the last term or quarter of the year was 1,744 boys and 979 girls. It should be remarked that the number for the last term or quarter is almost invariably somewhat smaller than that in the earlier part of the year.

Univebsity and Colleges. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is a separate paper (8.-6). The number of graduates admitted or qualified for admission now amounts to 767. Of this number 384 have the degree of B.A. alone; 21 that of B.So. alone; 22 LL.B. alone; 37 M.B. and Ch.B. alone ; 204 M.A. alone; 5 M.D. alone; 3 LL.D. alone; 1 D.Sc alone; 2 Mus. Bac. alone; 4 B.Sc. in engineering alone. The graduates upon whom degrees in more than one faculty have been conferred are: B.A. and B.Sc, 10; B.A. and LL.B., 21; B.A. and M.8., Ch.B., 7; M.A. and B.Sc, 21; M.A. and LL.B., 15; M.A. and M.8., Ch.B., 2; M.A. and D.Sc, 3; M.A. and LL.D., 3; LL.D. and 8.A., 1; M.A. and B.Sc. in engineering, 1. The number of degrees authorised to be conferred after the examinations of 1899 was 76: 8.A., 30; B.Sc, 8; LL.B., 8; M.B. and Ch.B., 11.; Mus. Bac, 2 ; M.A. 15 ; D.Sc, 1; B.Sc. in engineering, 1. The number of candidates at the entrance examination for 1899 was 799; 397 sat at examinations for degrees, and 119 for professional qualifications not academical, making a total of 1,315. The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1899 was 766, of whom 246 were women. Of these students, 515 were matriculated at the University of New Zealand. The numbers in attendance at the several colleges are as follows: University of Otago, 154 men and 48 women matriculated, and 39 men not matriculated; at Canterbury College, 80 men and 37 women matriculated, and 18 men and 47 women not matriculated; at Auckland University College, 82 men and 26 women matriculated, and 66 men and 46 women not matriculated; and at Victoria College, 57 men and 31 women matriculated, and 24 men and 11 women not matriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.--7, E.-8, E.-9, and E.-10 respectively. " The University 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 1899, to £4,677 Is. Id., as follows : Canterbury Eeserves, £1,779 os. 10d.; Westland, £232 2s. 6d. ; Taranaki, £2,665 17s. 9d. Civil Service 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 490 candidates for the Junior Civil Service examination, and the names of 309 were published in order of merit in the Gazette of the 23rd February. For the Senior Civil Service examination there were 112 candidates, of whom 48 passed. Further particulars are given in the report of the examination (E.-1a). Chatham Islands. In the Chatham Islands during 1899 instruction was given by three teachers and two assistants at five different centres, four on the main island and one on Pitt Island. The number on the roll at the end of the year was 54; the working average attendance, 45. The total expenditure was £389 15s. 6d. — namely, salaries and allowances, £265 16s. 3d. ; building material, school furniture and requisites, and repairs, £79 10s.; inspection, £44 9s. 3d. In order to afford opportunities for clever children in these islands to continue their education beyond a primary school course, the Government has offered to give any boy or girl qualifying under specified conditions a scholarship tenable at one of the recognised secondary schools in New Zealand. Subsidies to Public Libraries. By a vote of last session a sum of £3,000 was granted for subsidies to public libraries; in 1898 the amount voted for distribution was £2,000. The method of distribution of the vote for 1899 was the same as that adoped in the previous year, as follows: 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 amount thus augmented; but no library received credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case did the augmented amount on which distribution was based exceed £100. In accordance with a Gazette notice of the 30th October, 1899, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was Bth February, 1900, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 312 libraries from which applications, each accompanied by a statutory declaration on the proper form, had been received. The vote, as thus dealt with, afforded a subsidy of 4s. 7'25d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £23 os. 7d. to £6 4s. sd. Some libraries supplied with the proper form failed to send in formal claims by the 31st January, 1900, the date fixed by the Gazette notice, and did not therefore participate in the vote. The number of libraries participating in the vote was 312, which shows an increase of twenty-seven over the number aided in the previous year. In order that the purpose intended to be served by the vote may be attained to as full a degree as possible, it would appear to be desirable in future that the whole of the subsidy granted to each library should be expended in the purchase of books, and in any year to withhold a subsidy from any library that fails to comply with this condition as to the manner of expending the previous year's subsidy. The following table shows the distribution according to education districts:—

JREPOKTS OF EDUCATION BOABDS.

AUCKLAND. Auckland, March, 1900. In accordance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings for the year 1899 : — Board. —The members in office at the beginning of the year were Messrs. L. J. Bagnall, T. Cooper, E. Farrell, S. Luke, J. Muir, J. E. Eeed, E. Udy, J. H. Wright, and E. Hobbs (Chairman). Mr. Udy and Mr. Wright retired in March, 1899, and were succeeded by Dr. A. McArthur and Mr. W. Leys. Mr. Leys resigned his seat at the end of June, and was succeeded by Mr. J. Blades. Twenty-five meetings of the Board were held during the year with an average attendance of seven members. A committee of four members (Messrs. Bagnall, Farrell, Muir, and the Chairman) met every fortnight to deal with matters of finance and with the selection of teachers for appointments. Messrs. Hobbs, Muir, and Eeid will retire at the end of this month, and will be succeeded by Mr. W. Lambe, Mr. J. D. McKenzie, and Mr. N. A. MeLeod. Schools. —At the end of the year there were 378 schools in operation, an increase of nine upon the number at the end of 1898. New schools were opened at Marlborough (Kaihu), Ohiwa (East Coast), Otara (Opotiki), Waiomio (Thames), Bangiahua (Hokianga), Matapouri, Huhue (Warkworth), Opitonui, Oropi (Bay of Plenty), Otau (Wairoa), Whakapara (Whangarei), Poro-o-tarao, Mamaku, Amodeo Bay, and Biverheacl. Three schools formerly in operation were reopened, namely: Pepepe, Taotaoroa, and Upper Waihou. The following schools were closed: Maratoto, Waiheke (itinerant), Te Kirikiri, Woodside (Kaeo), Karaka, Okaihau No. 2, Utakura Valley, Pouto, and Komata, the cause being in each case the withdrawal of population from the district. Of the 378 schools, fifty are half-time. Taking the departmental plan of reckoning every two half-time schools as one, the number is 353, distributed (according to average attendance) as follows : Under 15, forty-nine; 15 and under 20, fifty-one; 20 and under 25, fifty-four; 25 and under 50, one hundred and four; 50 and under 100, forty-four ; 100 to 300, thirty-four ; over 300, seventeen. There are thus no fewer than 258 schools with an average attendance of less than fifty each, and three-fifths of these have less than twenty-five in average attendance. Teacheks. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 789 (325 males and 464 females), besides eighty teachers of sewing. There were 353 head teachers, 197 assistants, and 239 pupil-teachers. In the class last named are 93 ex-pupil-teachers under the old regulations, most of them holding certificates and being eligible for appointment to higher positions. The class of ex-pupil-teachers will now be gradually extinguished, as the new regulations (which were brought into force three years ago) made provision for the retirement of all pupilteachers after the completion of their term of indentures. In dealing with the claims of ex-pupil-teachers to further employment, a preference is given to those who have shown the greatest proficiency during their pupil-teacher course. Hitherto immediate employment has been found for nearly all. A few uncertificated teachers remain in the service. The number is gradually decreasing; and those who remain are for the most part located in districts which offer little inducement to a certificated teacher. Great care is exercised in the selection of teachers for promotion. It is not always possible in filling vacancies to give to School Committees a choice of teacher; but, as a rule, an opportunity is given them to select, and due consideration is always accorded to any recommendation which they may make. Attendance. —The roll-number of scholars has increased during the year from 27,557 to 28,013. The working average attendance for the last quarter of the year was 22,978. This means that more than five thousand children are daily absentees, an indication that much remains to be done towards carrying out the provisions of the School Attendance Act, passed five years' ago. During a large part of the year there has been a succession of sickness in nearly all parts of the district, and the attendance has been affected to a larger extent than ever previously (unless, perhaps, during the epidemic of measles which prevailed in 1893). But there is evidence that in many places the requirements of the Act are successfully evaded. The idea still seems to exist that the provisions of the Act are optional, not mandatory. The Truant Officer has been sent to visit some of the country townships, and his visits have resulted in an improved attendance. It needs the hearty co-operation of School Committees to insure that neither the wilfulness of children nor the indifference of parents shall be permitted to thwart the work of compulsory education intrusted to the Board. The issue of good attendance certificates at the end of the year is found to act as a stimulus to regularity of attendance. Scholarships.—Twenty-seven senior and fifty-five junior district scholarships were under tenure at the end of the year, besides three awarded to girls under special regulations and derived from the income of the Auckland Girls' High School endowment. The reports of the head masters upon the holders of these scholarships are highly encouraging, and the names of former scholar-ship-holders are to be found in every honour-list issued by the University. Technical Insteuction. —Classes in manual instruction are held at the Devonport and Eemuera Schools. The Board cannot too strongly record its surprise and disappointment at the repeated failure of Parliament to make ample provision for establishing and maintaining technical education throughout the colony. The efforts made by the Board to secure a grant for the building of a technical school in the City of Auckland have led to no practical result, and the Auckland Technical School is languishing for the want of that pecuniary aid which is extended to similar schools in other parts of the colony. Finance. —The income from all sources during the year was £98,617 lls. Id., and the expenditure was £102,185 9s. lid. These figures include both maintenance and building funds. The cost of maintenance separately exceeded the capitation grant for the year by a considerable sum, which the Board was able to meet out of the accrued savings of previous years. The total

cost was £3 16s. 3d. per head, made up as follows: Teachers' salaries, £3 ss. Bd. per head; grants to School Committees (including repairs of buildings), 6s. 6d. per head; inspection and examination, 2s. 2d. per head; cost of Board's management, Is. lid. per head. (In 1898 the excess of expenditure on maintenance over income earned by capitation grant was Is. |7d. per head.) There was still a net credit balance of £495 ss. 4d. on Maintenance Account at the end of 1899, after providing for all liabilities thereon to date. The Board has joined with the Education Board of Otago in a request to Government that the capitation grant for maintenance may be restored to its former rate of £4 per head. The expenditure on school buildings during the year amounted to £12,161 14s. 3d., of which more than one-half was applied to the improvement of existing buildings. At the end of the year there was a debit balance on Building Account. The Board's share of the parliamentary grant in aid of school buildings in newly-settled districts has not yet been allotted. Claims to the amount of £9,772 have been submitted for a participation in the vote. Want of funds has delayed the prosecution of many necessary works. The Board can only reiterate what has been said in former reports: " The annual grants for school buildings are inadequate. Unless a more liberal provi-sion-be made by Parliament, the task of providing suitable school accommodation throughout this extensive district cannot be satisfactorily overtaken." Buildings.—The Board has pursued its policy (so far as funds would permit) of providing schools where required, and of improving existing school properties. A few residences have been built, but many more are required. Considerable loss has occurred through the destruction of school buildings by fire. In every case a searching inquiry has been made into the cause of the fire. The demand for increased accommodation in several schools is urgent, and cannot be delayed. Greater care is needed in the supervision of school properties, and in the use of premises and appliances. Miscellaneous. — The Board was not represented at the Conference, held at Wellington in July of last year. The suggestion for the Conference emanated from the Wanganui Board, which forwarded a programme indicating that it was to be held (solely) with reference to a revision of the syllabus. As this Board had already represented its views at some length to the Minister, and had received from him an assurance that the question was under consideration of the Department, it was not deemed necessary to take part in the Conference. If it had been known that other matters of interest would be included in the deliberations the Board would not have failed to send a representative. In conformity to the general practice adopted by the Boards the inspection of the Roman Catholic private schools has been authorised in terms of section 98 of the Education Act. An application has been made to Government for a special grant towards defraying the extra cost of such inspection. The war in South Africa has called forth from the teachers and scholars of the public schools a display of patriotism which is worthy of commendation, and which cannot fail to have a lasting effect in cultivating and developing an ardent love of the Empire. From more than three hundred schools subscriptions were cheerfully given to the fund, for the relief sufferers among the British forces engaged in the war. The cordial relations between the School Committees and the Board have been maintained during the year, and the Board is glad of this opportunity to express its grateful appreciation of their co-operation in the administration of educational matters throughout the district. The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eiohabd Hobbs, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sib,— New Plymouth, 28th March, 1900. 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, 1899 :— The Boaed.—At the annual election in March the retiring members—Messrs. Adlam, D. McAllum, and J. Wade—were re-elected. Mr. E. G. Bauchope was re-elected Chairman, but by his sad death a few weeks later the Board lost a member of many years' standing, and one who had always taken a keen and intelligent interest in the progress of education in this district. His death was felt very keenly, not only by the members of the Board, but also by all who had the good fortune to know him. He was a member of the Board of Governors of the New Plymouth High School, and also a member of the Victoria College Council, and his personal feelings and considerations were always made subservient to the performance of the duties entailed upon him by these and other appointments. Mr. B. A. Hignett was elected a member of the Board on the 12th July to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. R, G. Bauchope. Mr. Duncan McAllum was elected Chairman on the 26th July for the ensuing year. The Board for the year therefore consisted of Mr. D. McAllum (Chairman), Miss Heywood, Messrs. G. Adlam, E. G. Allsworth, W. Cutfield, H. Faull, B. A. Hignett, J. Mackay, and J. Wade. The Board held twenty-four ordinary meetings and five special meetings 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. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the service of the Board at the end of the year was 136, as against 138 in 1898. The result of the examination of pupil-teachers was most successful, none of the candidates having failed twice in the work of any class, and the work as a whole comparing very favourably with that of former years. The tests in practical teaching show steady improvement. The Board has much pleasure in noting the success attending the pupil-teachers and ex-pupil-teachers in their certificate examinations. Attendance. —The number on the roll at the end of the year was 4,039, as against 3,981 in 1898, an increase of fifty-eight. Owing to the prevalence of measles and whooping-cough in this district for many months, the average attendance was not so good as it otherwise would have been. Buildings.—-New schools have been erected at Waiongona and Denbigh Road, and large additions made to the Egmont Road and Toko School buildings. Residences have been erected at Kaiauai and Huiroa, and there are several more very urgently needed, as in the newly settled districts the settlers build their houses only sufficiently large to accommodate their own families, and teachers have a difficulty in finding board and lodging, and in many cases have to put up with great inconvenience. Scholarships.—Thirty-eight candidates presented themselves for examination, and thirteen qualified for scholarships. Fourteen more candidates presented themselves for examination this year than on any previous one. Finance. —The income of the Board from all sources, including £1,010 15s. lid. balance on the 31st December, 1898, was £15,839 2s. 6d., and the expenditure £14,640 Bs., leaving a credit balance of £1,198 14s. 6d. Against this balance are liabilities very nearly covering the same. I have, &c, Duncan McAllum, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WANGANUI. Siß, — Education Office, Wanganui, Ist March, 1900. In compliance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to submit the annual report of the proceedings of this Board for the year ending 31st December, 1899. Boakd.—At the close of last year the members who retired by rotation were Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge, Mr. F. Pirani, and Mr. B. C. Bobbins, all of whom were re-elected in March, and since then there has not been any alteration in the constitution of the Board. The Board is therefore now composed of the following gentlemen : Mr. G. S. Bridge (Chairman), Mr. J. W. Baker, Mr. B. C. Bobbins, Mr. H. Sanson,* Mr. E. A. Adams, Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge, Mr. F. M. Spurdle, Mr. F. Pirani, and the Eev. J. Eoss. Schools.—The number of schools in operation in this district at the close of 1898 was 132. Three schools have been closed —viz., Komako, Papanui, and Paiaka. The new schools opened are Fraser Eoad, Kakariki, Eangitoto, Bluff Eoad, Coal Creek, Pukerua. There are now 133 schools open. Of those now in operation, one is a half-time school (counting two as one), eighteen are aided or subsidised, ten of which have an attendance of under 15 pupils, and eight have between 15 and 20 pupils. Of the rest, seventeen have between 20 and 25 pupils, fifty-five have between 25 and 50 pupils, fifteen have between 50 and 75 pupils, six have between 75 and 100 pupils, eight have between 100 and 150 pupils, ten have between 150 and 300 pupils, and four have between 300 and 500 pupils. It should be noticed that the large majority of these schools have an attendance of under seventy, and consequently the capitation received under the Act of 1877 is not sufficient for their maintenance. This in other districts is compensated for by the excess of capitation over expenditure in large schools; but as in this district there are very few such schools the Board had to consider the position, and was obliged, most reluctantly, to reduce teachers' salaries, so as to bring its expenditure within its income. The Board recognised that teachers were not overpaid before, and trusts that the reduction will be only temporary, and that the Government will restore the capitation allowance to the amount that was paid formerly. The increase in settlement and the consequent addition to the number of small non-paying schools has had the effect of seriously disturbing the finances. Buildings.—The principal buildings erected during the year are new schools at Millburn, Fraser Eoad, Punehu, Table Flat, Pohonui-Atane, Karewarewa, and Tiriraukawa. The Feilding school, which was burnt down, has been re-erected. Additions have been made to the following schools : Wanganui Boys', College Street and Campbell Street (Palmerston North), Matapu, Baetihi, Auroa, and Castlecliff. Eesidences were erected at Whakamara, Punehu, Fraser Eoad, Eangitoto, Oroua Bridge, and Taikorea. Small residences have also been erected by the Board's carpenter at Awahou, Mangarimu, Alton, and Hurleyville, and repairs and alterations at many other schools. Grants have been made to assist the settlers at Ngamatapouri, Bluff Eoad, and Pukerua. The Board much regrets that, owing to want of funds, it has not been able to paint any of its buildings. It trusts, however, that funds for the purpose will be forthcoming. In connection with the re-erection of the Feilding school, much time was lost before the amount for reinstating was finally decided upon, and in the meantime the Board was at considerable expense for the hire of buildings, &c, and the teachers and children were correspondingly inconvenienced. The Board

* Mr. Sanson has since resigned in oonsequenoe of leaving the district.

67

E.—i

regrets that, notwithstanding the difficulties it has had to meet in establishing and enlarging schools in newly settled districts, the department has not been able to see its way to defray the whole cost of rebuilding, and hire of buildings. Attendance.—At the close of the year there were 10,171 children on the roll, with an average attendance of 8,080. This year closes with a roll of 10,321, and a strict average attendance of 8,144. The severe drop in the attendance for the last quarter —from 8,471 to 8,144 —is attributable to several epidemics which have prevailed throughout the district. A sudden fall in the attendance, as above referred to, causes not only a loss of income to the Board, but a corresponding decrease in the teachers' salaries, a loss which they can ill afford. This matter has been brought under the notice of the Education Department, but, I regret to say, without effect. Teachees.—There are now 282 teachers in the Board's employ, 145 being males and 137 females. One hundred and thirty-two of these are head or sole teachers, forty are assistants, and 110 are pupil-teachers. Besides these, the Board employs twenty-nine cadets, who are not counted on the staff, but are qualifying for appointment as pupil-teachers. Scholaeships.—The annual competition for scholarships took place in December, when thirty-four candidates entered for the senior and twenty-nine for the junior scholarships, with the result that twelve qualified for the senior and twelve for the junior. Four scholarships were awarded to the seniors, three being boys and one girl, and four to the juniors, all being girls. The eight remaining candidates who qualified in each class are respectively entitled to free tuition at the Wanganui Girls' High School or the Collegiate School. Several candidates who presented themselves at this examination were totally unprepared for the ordeal. This causes a waste of time and energy in a fruitless attempt to reach the required standard, besides giving unnecessary and useless work to the examiners. Pupil-teachebs.—The annual pupil-teachers' examination was held in the month of June. In the first class thirty candidates presented themselves —twenty-eight passed and two failed. In the second class thirty candidates presented themselves, and sixteen passed and fourteen failed; but one of the latter was granted a pass in the third class. In the third class twenty-three candidates entered—seventeen passed, four failed, and two were absent. Technical Education.—For information respecting technical education I beg to refer you to the Art Master's report. Owing to changes in the staff of the school the work has been somewhat interrupted and disorganized, but it is hoped that the current year may show better results. Cookery classes have been held at several centres with much success. Technical classes are held at Palmerston North and Hawera, and the Board hoped that ere this funds would have been available to supplement the £200 subscribed by the inhabitants of Palmerston North towards the erection of a technical school. Conference of Education Boaeds.—During the year this Board proposed that a conference of the several Education Boards of the colony should be held in Wellington, for the purpose of discussing the syllabus and other matters connected with education. Each Board was invited to send a delegate, and an invitation was also extended to the several branches of the New Zealand Educational Institute. At the meeting which was subsequently held the Hon. the Minister of Education opened the proceedings. The discussion lasted for several days, and a report of the proceedings was subsequently published and forwarded to the several bodies interested, Pupil-teachees' Eegulations.—The pupil-teachers' regulations have been revised, and the salaries of the male and female pupil-teachers have been equalised, in accordance with instructions from the department. The Board regrets that the department should have insisted upon this, as there has always been a greater desire for girls to enter the profession than boys, and there may be some difficulty in getting teachers for the small schools in newly settled districts where it would be difficult to send female teachers. Finance. —I regret to say that the finances of the Board are in a very unsatisfactory condition. This arises principally from the number of small schools which the Board has to maintain, caused by the rapidly increasing settlement in the outlying districts. Practically the Board is not only without funds, but is in debt on the General Account; and, in consequence, has unfortunately been obliged to reduce teachers' salaries all round in order to keep the expenditure at all within bounds. The General Account shows a credit balance of £61 19s. 2d., with liabilities amounting to £455 os. 10d., thus leaving a net debit balance of £393 Is. Bd. The Building Account shows a nominal credit of £2,371145. 9d., but this is cancelled by liabilities on account of contracts actually accepted amounting to £2,198 Bs. lid., leaving a final balance of £173 ss. 10d. to meet the expenditure and demands from all sources. It might be advanced that the Board should not establish small schools the capitation for which will not pay their expenses. To this the settlers in the sparsely settled districts reply that they are as much entitled to the benefits conferred by the Education Act as the people of the more settled centres. This Board has administered its funds with every care and consideration, and is of opinion that Government should at once take steps to release it from the anomalous position of attempting to administer an Act for which insufficient funds are provided. I have, &c, Geo. S. Beidge, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WELLINGTON. g IB , Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1900. I have the honour to submit the following report of the Education Board of the District of Wellington for the year ended 31st December last: — Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : J. E. Blair (Chairman), W. C. Buchanan, P. Bradey, E. Feist, A. W. Hogg, W. W. McCardle, Rev. J. Paterson, J. Eobertson, and J. Young. There were five nominations for the vacancies caused by the retirement of three members in terms of section 15 of the Education Act, and the voting resulted in the re-election of Messrs. W. C. Buchanan, W. W. McCardle, and J. Eobertson. At the April meeting of the Board Mr. J. E. Blair was unanimously re-elected Chairman, and continues to represent the Board as Education Eeserves Commissioner. During the year the Board has held twelve ordinary and one special meeting. The Technical School Committee, consisting of the full Board, have met regularly to deal with all matters affecting the management of that institution. The monthly pay-sheet has been carefully examined by the Finance Committee prior to presentation to the Board. Teachers. —At the close of the year there were 419 teachers in the service of the Board, classified as follows : Heads of schools, 66 ; sole teachers, 80 ; assistants, 98 ; pupil-teachers, 175 ; and twelve teachers of sewing. Pupil-teachers.—At the annual examination of pupil-teachers, on examination papers set by the Education Department, sixty-eight candidates presented themselves. The subjects of examination were : Eeading, composition, history, arithmetic, school management, science, (chemistry and electricity), and drawing. The examiners report considerable improvement in the year's work. It will be remembered that in last year's report the Inspectors indicated the great difficulties encountered by pupil-teachers whose literary equipment was insufficient to relieve them from the necessity of continuous study to enable them to meet the yearly examinations successfully. With a view to remedy this serious disadvantage the Board has decided that " the selection of pupil-teachers shall be made from candidates who have passed an entrance examination, or its equivalent, and who are over fifteen and under twenty-five years of age. The selection shall be made by a committee of the Board, in consultation with the Inspectors, after an interview with the candidates and head teachers." The classification shows seventy ex-pupil-teachers, fourteen fifth-year, thirty-three fourth-year, twenty-five third-year, seventeen second-year, and eleven firstyear pupil-teachers in the Board's service at the date of the report: a total of 170. Schools. —The 146 schools under the Board's control are arranged, on the basis of the average attendance, as follows : Under 15, twenty-six; 15 and under 20, eighteen; 20 and under 25, twelve; 25 and under 50, forty; 50 and under 75, fourteen; 75 and under 100, nine; 100 and

69

E.—l

under 150, ten; 150 and under 300, six ; 300 and under 500, seven; 500 and upwards, four, Included in these are seventeen aided schools. Attendance.—The average increase has materially decreased during the last two years. The finances of the Board have consequently become seriously inelastic, and in several instances careful attention will need to be given to the adjustment of the teaching staff. Native children are represented in the returns from twenty-seven schools, the numbers being: Maoris —80 boys, 66 girls; half-castes living in Native fashion —6 boys, 6 girls ; half-castes living in European fashion—2l boys, 16 girls. At the close of the year 14,768 children were on the registers at the different schools. Scholaeships.—The subjects of examination for candidates for the Board's scholarships were— Arithmetic, 150 marks ; English, 150; science, 150; history, 100 ; geography, 100; writing, 5Q : the maximum of marks being 700. Under the previous system of classification it was only occasionally that a small country school was represented ; but the encouragement given by the new classification, which awards scholarships to schools where the average attendance is below 100, has apparently stimulated many of the teachers to adopt the scholarship work, twenty-four of these schools being represented. Two hundred and seven candidates entered for examination, of whom 197 presented themselves. In science the papers were framed to test practical knowledge and intelligent comprehension of experiments performed, and of the inferences to be drawn from them. Any pupil who had merely surface acquaintance with the text-book could obtain but few marks in the papers. The examiners recommend the Board to divide the scholarships into two classes, senior and junior, to enable promising students to obtain a fuller course of university training, and have the same advantages as are given by several other Boards in the colony. School Buildings.—New schools have been erected at Coonoor, Waione, Mangapakeha, Kakariki, Alfredton, Horowhenua, and Island Bay ; and residences at Makuri, Kaitawa, and Otaki. Additions have been made to the schools at Pongaroa, Te Ore Ore, and Brooklyn. Additional land has been purchased at Thorndon, and extensive improvements made to the school properties in sixteen other districts. The addition to the Technical School has been completed. The overdraft on Building Account at the Ist January amounted to £704 7s. sd. The receipts for the year realised £5,847 Is. 5d.; Government grant, £5,583 ; sale of old school site, £239 25.; rents, &c, £4 18s. 6d.; refunds, £20 os. lid. The total expenditure on buildings was £9,700 9s. 10d., of which £5,974 19s. 7d. was for new buildings, £2,200 18s. 10d. for additions and improvements, £717 Is. lid. for furniture and appliances, £582 16s. sd. for sites, and £212 Bs. Id. for plans and supervision. Dbill. —The drill - instructor commenced his duties in February. A company, with an average of fifty members, has been formed in each city school, the available model rifles not admitting of a higher number. The other scholars are instructed in squad drill, girls being specially taught physical drill. Companies have also been formed in the larger country schools; detachments are formed where the attendance admits; squad drill is taken in all schools where practicable. The classes for the instruction of teachers and non-commissioned officers formed in Wellington are being well attended, and in the course of a year or so much improvement should be noticeable. The classes are held twice a week in the Boys' Institute drill-hall. It is intended to form similar classes in the country as soon as those in the city are well in hand. At the request of the Board the Government issued on loan 460 model rifles, which have been served out as follows: Fifty to each of the seven city schools, forty to Petone, thirty to Fernridge, and twenty each to Kilbirnie and Johnsonville. A capital year's work has been done with them as far as drill is concerned, but, for want of real rifles, shooting could not be practised, The drum and bugle band is progressing satisfactorily, some of its members having already attained a very efficient state. The bi-weekly practices are well attended. The drill-instructor compiled two very useful drill manuals for teachers, also a set of regulations for the organization and control of public-school cadets, and instruction in drill generally, which have been freely circulated among the teachers. Tkuancy.—The Truant Officer has used every possible means to improve the attendance without reverting to the law, except in cases where all other efforts have failed. Six hundred and seventy-five parents have been called upon, representing 874 children, and forty-five children who were not attending any school have been placed on the registers. Summonses have been taken out against fifty-eight parents, fifty-one of whom have been fined, to the amount of £6 Bs., with £3 3s. costs. Three cases were withdrawn, on the assurance that further proceedings would not be necessary. Four cases were dismissed. Inspection.—-The senior Inspector of Schools, Mr. Lee, in his annual report, gives 14,973 children on the rolls at examination dates. Nine thousand six hundred and twenty-nine were examined in standards, of whom 8,296 passed, the average age being eleven years four months. Five hundred and sixteen children were in the class above Standard VI. Special reference is made to the unusual irregular attendance in several schools. Of the whole 136 schools, eighty-one are considered satisfactory, forty less satisfactory, and fifteen positively weak. Seven Roman Catholic schools were examined, 576 pupils passing their respective standards out of 639 examined. The teachers made their own presentment. Technical.—ln his annual report Mr. Eiley deals exhaustively with this department of the educational system. The completion of the new building has enabled him to establish several additional classes, and make more complete arrangements for the general work of the institution. Two class-rooms have been fitted up for instruction in chemistry and physics, under the management of the Victoria College. Cookery classes have been established in the Wairarapa districts, and arrangements are in train for an extension of these classes to the suburban schools, and those on the Manawatu Eailway-line. Manual instruction has not extended as anticipated. In first-grade drawing examinations 6,536 papers were worked, 916 of which were from schools outside this Board's district.. Four teachers were successful in the South Kensington examinations, and six completed their full second-grade certificates. The different technical instruction classes show a roll-number of 954, which, with the addition of the primary scholars, make over fifteen hundred students receiving technical instruction. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J- E- Blair, Chairman.

Eeport on Deill. Sib,— Wellington, 20th February, 1900. I have the honour to present my annual report on the state of the cadet companies and drill generally in the various schools under the Wellington Education Board for the year 1899. During the year seven companies, with an average strength of fifty each, were formed in the city schools. Squads were formed from the scholars not in the companies. Companies were also formed in the larger country schools, and detachments or squads, according to the size of the school, in the smaller schools. At the end of the year the seven city companies were efficient in company drill and manual exercises; but the squads did not reach that state of efficiency which they should have reached, owing principally to the want of knowledge of the drill on the part of teachers in charge of them. This defect, however, is being gradually remedied by teachers undergoing a course of training at an instruction class which I have recently started in Wellington. At the beginning of each year my time is fully occupied in organizing the city companies, and working them up sufficiently to enable me to turn my attention for short periods to the more needful of the country schools; but owing to the very large number of the latter it is impossible for me to visit them often enough to ever hope of getting anything like efficient drill until teachers are themselves trained in the work, so as to be qualified to carry it on during my absence. The time between my visits is so long that the children almost forget the drill, which necessitates my going over the same ground again; consequently, very little progress can be made. I have the approval of Mr. Lee for establishing instruction classes in the country similar to those in the city, but am unable to go on with them all at the same time, so will have to carry on the city work for the first part of the year, and then take up the country work for the latter part. There was no collective inspection of the city battalion, owing to a number of difficulties, such as uniforms, company officers, &c, having come in the way ; but it is now being arranged to hold an inspection parade at an early date, so that the work done may be more readily understood than by merely placing a detailed account of it on paper. It is also hoped that a training-camp will be held some time during the year. The Education Department issued on loan to the Board, for drill purposes, a supply of 460 model rifles, which were served out as follows : Fifty to each of the seven city schools, forty to Petone, thirty to Fernridge, and twenty each to Johnsonville and Kilbirnie. There still remains a large number of companies and detachments in the country without rifles of any description, and, rather than apply for the additional number of models required, I would suggest that the Board transfer the models from the city to the country schools where there is no range-accommodation, and ask the Government for the miniature real rifles which were applied for a year ago (the Government replied that the question would be considered when the estimates came before the House) for the purpose of arming the city companies, where range-accommodation and proper supervision at target-practice are available. The present war in South Africa has taught us that the first duty of a citizen is to be able to shoot, and I feel sure that I could do good service in this direction, if only the means were at my disposal, by teaching the boys to shoot, and handle firearms and ammunition, which would prevent so many gun-accidents from occurring through want of this training. A drum- and bugle-band was formed towards the end of the year and is making satisfactory progress. Practices are held twice a week, and are well attended. The band made its first appearance in public a few weeks ago, when it headed the Naval Cadets for a march through the city. ( The playing was very creditable to the young performers, considering the very short time they have been practising.

Head-teachers inform me that much improvement in discipline is noticeable since the introduction of military drill, and the few teachers who at the outset seemed to oppose the system are now, lam pleased to state, entirely in favour of it. My work has been much facilitated by the valuable help given me by head-teachers and first assistants in the discharge of my duties. I have, &c, The Chairman, Wellington Education Board. T. W. McDonald.

HAWKB'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, 2nd March, 1900. I have the honour to forward the following report of the proceedings of the Hawke's Bay Education Board for the year 1899 : — Board.—The Board consists of the following members: Eev. Dr. Sidey (Chairman), Messrs. C. A. Fitzroy, J. G. Gilberd, W. L. Knight, S. McLernon, F. Sutton, T. Tanner, S. Johnson, and Dr. Moore. School Attendance.—The average attendance for the four quarters of the year was 6,525. For the previous year the attendance was 6,550. Schools. —Four new schools have been opened during 1899—viz., Port Awanui, Morere, Titree and Ornahu, and arrangements have been made to open another at Waipatiki. The first three are aided schools, and Omahu is situated in the midst of a large Native population, consequently nearly all the children are Natives. Very large additions have been made to several schools. Owing to the destructive power of the beetle in the timber used for lining in many of the schools, which not only destroys the timber, but makes the schools unhealthy, the Board has been under the necessity of re-lining a number of the schools at considerable cost. Other schools will require to be treated in the same way in the near future. Three new residences have been erected, and additions made to others. Contracts have been accepted for the erection of four more residences. The half-time school at Whakarau has been of exceptional benefit to the surrounding district. School Committees.—l can reiterate the fact that the most cordial relations exist between the Board and the School Committees, although some do grumble at not having all their applications granted. The Board pays the Committees a much larger allowance than do most of the other Boards, and it has impressed upon all Committees the necessity of exercising careful supervision over all school property, as a prompt attention to small matters might be the means of saving a great expenditure. Scholarships.—There are forty-five scholarship-holders from the district schools attending the Napier High School and Gisborne District High School. Six of the scholarships were of the value of £50 per annum each, seven of £30 4s. each, two of £16 4s. each, and twenty-two of £10 4s. each. The larger scholarships are granted to children from the country districts. The whole expenditure amounted to £888 ss. 10d., a portion of which is provided by the School Commissioners. Only two scholarship-holders resigned during the year. Pupil-teachers.—The regulations for the training of pupil-teachers were extensively altered in 1898, involving increased cost and labour. Experience has shown that modification will require to be made in them very soon. The Board also instituted a training school in Napier at the beginning of 1899 for the better equipment of young teachers. So far it is simply in its initiatory stage, but,is full of promise. Some alterations are also necessary in the regulations framed for its conduct. When these are effected and the school is fairly at work the Board considers that this school will serve a very important purpose in the training of young teachers. Technical Education.—A technical school was instituted in Napier in the early part of 1899 by Mr. E. N. Anderson, who had previously belonged to the Technical School at Wellington. With the idea of securing the advantages of this school in the training of pupil-teachers, the Board voted the sum of £25 for the year 1900. The Education Department paid the sum of £16 Is. 4d. in 1899 to the district school in Napier as payment for technical instruction given to the children attending the main school. Finance.— The account of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereto. The amount paid for teachers' salaries, bonuses on results, and instruction of pupil-teachers was £21,207 7s. 3d; the amount paid to School Committees £2,377 12s. Bd.; and the amount expended on school buildings, repairs, &c, £4,830 13s. 3d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. David Sidey, Chairman.

REPORT ON GISBORNE DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL.

The majority of the papers were examined by me with much pleasure, as they showed good intelligence and teaching. The contrasts in the work are less marked than in previous years. The widest contrasts were in arithmetic and Euclid, but in both cases some capital marks were obtained. Two pupils gained full marks in the latter subject. The science was of fair quality, but the pupils should be encouraged to illustrate their answers by means of diagrams, such as are to be found in the text-books. The English paper No. 1 was of good quality, but it would be well to encourage the pupils to draw for themselves estimates of character, such as was asked for in question 2 — i.e., from the evidence supplied in the text. The English paper No. 2 was too wide in its scope, and the quantity of work might be limited somewhat another year. Both the French and Latin were of good average merit, the latter subject especially showing several capital papers. As a whole, good marks have been gained, and the progress made shows that the division continues to maintain a high standard of efficiency. H. Hill, 8.A., F.G.S., sth January, 1900.

MABLBOEOUGH. Sib,— Blenheim, 12th March, 1900. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year 1899. Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted' of the Hon. W. D. H. Baillie, M.L.C., Thomas Carter, John Clervaux Chaytor, John Duncan, Eichard McOallum, Charles Houghton Mills, M.H.R., Joseph Henry Eedwood, Arthur Penrose Seymour, and Harry Fleetwood Thompson. The members retiring in March were Messrs. Carter, Eedwood, and Thompson. The election resulted in the return of Messrs. Carter and Eedwood, and of William Benoni Parker in the place of Mr. Thompson, who did not seek re-election. In the month of May the Board received the written resignation of his seat from Mr. John Clervaux Chaytor, which was accepted with great regret. Mr. Chaytor has always taken a very active interest in educational matters, and, in the Jubilee year, presented every child in the Marlborough schools with a commemorative medal. The vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. Chaytor was rilled by the election of his son, Mr. D'Arcy Chaytor; the Committees thus indicating their appreciation of the good work done by his father. The Board held thirteen meetings during the year, the average attendance at which was 5-7. The individual attendance was—Baillie, 8; Chaytor, 3 ; Duncan, 10 ; McCallum, 13; Mills, 5 ; Parker, 7 ; Eedwood, 13 ; Seymour, 10 ; and Carter, 8. Messrs. Baillie and Mills were necessarily absent during the session of Parliament. Schools. —The number of schools that have been open during the year is sixty-three, or two less than last year. Several applications have been received for assistance to fresh schools, and one temporarily closed has been reopened. The number of small aided schools, rendered necessary partly by the geographical conformation of the northern portion of the district (the Sounds County) and partly by the sparse population in other parts of the district, has been so repeatedly referred to in this Board's reports, and has hitherto been so completely ignored by the Department, that the Board feels it is almost useless to endeavour to obtain a reasonable amount of consideration on this account. The facts were very fully stated in the last annual report, and the Board would respectfully direct the attention of the Minister thereto. It was shown in the report referred to that, although some other districts have the same difficulty in a greater or less extent, the Marlborough District, in proportion to its size and population, is by far the greatest sufferer in this respect. Attendance.—Although the number of schools has remained about the same for some years, the number of children on the rolls, as well as the average attendance, appears to be slowly but steadily decreasing ; but this decrease cannot be met by any corresponding reduction of expenditure, though, unfortunately, it materially affects the Board's income. While this report is being written, there are rumours that the Government have at last resolved to bring in a Bill to amend "The Education Act, 1877," and the Board trusts that the pressing needs of the smaller districts will not be lost sight of, or overshadowed by the demands from the larger and (politically) more influential ones. Building.—The building operations of the Board have been greatly restricted through the necessity of reducing the indebtedness of the Building Account to the Ordinary Account. With one exception, all the school buildings are constructed of timber, and not one of them has been painted, externally or internally, for more than ten years. If these buildings are much longer neglected, their ultimate decay will be much accelerated ; whilst, on sanitary grounds, internal painting is universally recognised as a necessity in schools and other buildings wherein numbers of human beings are continually assembled. This therefore is a matter which claims the immediate attention of the Board, and, with other necessary works, will absorb more than the amount available for such purposes. Technical Instbuction. —The Board has not yet been able to take advantage of the Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act. Although the Department discontinued the grant in aid of shorthand classes, the Board was so satisfied with the results obtained that it was resolved to continue the classes without the assistance of the Department, but doubling the small fee originally charged to the students. Although this has had the anticipated effect of diminishing the number of students, the Board is satisfied that great good has resulted from this action; and regrets that a subject which is daily becoming an indispensable equipment for the very large number of young persons of both sexes who seek a livelihood through clerical work cannot be included in the ordinary syllabus of our public schools; and would suggest that in any amendment thereof that may be introduced in the future, room may be made for this very practically useful subject, by allowing it to be substituted for some one (or more) of the class of additional subjects at present demanded. PuPiL-TEACHEBS. —To avoid the sacrifice of the best part of their holidays, which has hitherto been caused by the annual examination for promotion being held during the Christmas vacation, it was resolved to postpone the examination of the pupil-teachers until the month of February. The recommendation, constantly reiterated during the last twenty years by this and other Boards, that the examination and classification of pupil-teachers should, be undertaken by the Department, has hitherto been without effect; but this Board trusts that, since the Government has determined to effect some of the reforms in the Act which the experience of the last twentytwo years has shown to be necessary, this matter also will receive the serious and favourable consideration of the Minister. High School. — The Board takes this opportunity of tendering its hearty thanks to the Government for having at last put an end to the unsatisfactory position of the Marlborough district with regard to secondary education by the establishment of a high school in the district. There is every probability of this institution being well supported by the public, and the Board (who are also the Governors of the High School) confidently expect that in their next report they

E.—l

will be able to announce a satisfactory year's work. In view of the immense advantages directly or indirectly arising from the erection of a building which shall combine the maxima of utility and architectural beauty, the Board regrets that the sum available for this purpose will be insufficient to secure both these desiderata, and would respectfully suggest an additional grant in order that a building thoroughly up-to-date, both in internal convenience and external appearance, may contribute to the prospects of its ultimate success. ScHOLABSHiPS. —The establishment of the High School will render necessary a revision of the Board's scholarship regulations, and this question is now under consideration. A copy of the proposed regulations will be submitted to the Minister for his approval, as required by the Act. Nelson College.—lt is, no doubt, well known to the Department that a large portion of the endowment of this College was obtained from the sale of waste lands in Marlborough while still a portion of the Province of Nelson. The only advantage that Marlborough has received from that institution has been the remission of the tuition fees of scholarship-holders, amounting to £12 per scholar per annum. The Board has been required to pay the boarding-fees of such scholars, amounting to £40 per annum for each scholar, a considerable portion of which sum must represent clear profit to the College. Now that, thanks to the Government, there is a high school in Marlborough, the question arises whether the College Governors should not be liable for some contribution towards the expense of the Marlborough High School, which in all equity should have been, if not entirely, at least partially, supported out of Marlborough's original contribution to the endowment. At present, the Education Board is receiving (indirectly) the sum of £60 per annum in the shape of tuition fees, and if this sum could be legally (as undoubtedly it can equitably) claimed, it would greatly assist the younger institution in the earlier years of its existence. The Board throws out this suggestion in the hope that the Department may be able to discover some modus operandi to bring about an arrangement by which this district might still continue to receive some slight return for its contribution to the College funds in its earlier years. Committees. —The Board is glad to be able to report a continuance of the most cordial relations between the central and the local authorities, but feels that under the present Act there is too much room for doubt and uncertainty respecting the proper functions of the respective bodies, and trusts that this very important question will be dealt with in the fullest possible manner in any amendments of the Education Act, so that in future there shall be no conflict of authority in a matter which calls for the united and harmonious efforts of the whole community. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. A. P. Seymoue, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib,— Education Office, Nelson, 14th March, 1900. 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 1899. Members op the Board. —At the annual election of three members of tbe Board in March last the retiring members were re-elected. The Board therefore, as before, consists of the following persons, the names being given in the order of their election: Messrs. William Norris Franklyn, Andrew Thomas Maginnity, Thomas John Baigent, George Talbot (Chairman), John Deidrich Beuke, Thomas Bailie, Philip Best, William Lock, and William Henry Phillips. The three first named were the re-elected members. Meetings op the Boaed.—During the year the Board has held twelve monthly and twelve adjourned meetings, the average attendance at each meeting being 8-08. The first meeting of the

75

E.—l

Board during the year was held at Westport, the Mayor having kindly placed the Town Hall at the service of the Board for the purpose, a courtesy which was much appreciated, and is hereby publicly acknowledged. Seven members of the Board were able to attend this meeting, and their presence in Westport, and the holding of the meeting of the Board in the town, were the source of considerable gratification to the School Committee and residents generally. At the earnest solicitation of a number of School Committees advantage was taken of the occasion of this visit to the West Coast portion of the education district for members to see and examine a considerable number of the outlying schools, and thus become better acquainted with the districts and their requirements. Westpoet Disteict High School.—The secondary class of this school has been successfully carried on during the past year, being the first year of its existence. The attendance at its opening in February was twelve, which number had risen to twenty-seven at the close of the school year. The Inspector's report on the school as a whole was highly satisfactory. Schools.—There were 123 schools at work at the end of the year, inclusive of forty-one aided and household schools. During the year three aided schools have been closed, at least one of them, Sandy Cove, permanently; and one district school and ten aided or household schools have been opened; while the three schools at Westport have been amalgamated, making a net gain of six in the number of schools at work. School Disteicts. —One new school district has been constituted during the year, making the number of school districts sixty-six. Attendance op Scholaes. —Both the average attendance and the roll-number continue to decline, notwithstanding the opening of new schools. During the past year the average weekly number on the roll was 5,913, while during the previous year it was 6,016-5, showing a decrease of 103-5. The strict average attendance during the past year has been 4,792-5, while during the year 1898 it was 4,825-5, showing a falling-off of thirty-three, the corresponding figures with respect to the "working average" being 4,902-75 for the past year and 4,926-75 for the previous year, a decrease of twenty-four. School Buildings.—During the year few new works have been begun. A schoolroom, with attached rooms for the use of the teacher as a cottage, has been built at Progress. A schoolroom has also been built at Fairdown, and substantial additions have been made to the schools! at Wai-iti and Burnett's Face. Altogether for " new buildings " the sum of £1,097 Bs. Bd. has been paid during the year, while no less than £1,225 ss. has been expended in the improvement and repair of the numerous wooden buildings belonging to the Board. Board's Funds. —The Board began the year with a credit balance on General Account of £702 ss. lid., and liabilities, £165 14s. At the end of the year the credit balance was £139 and the liabilities £192 4s. On Building Account the credit balance at the beginning of the year was £1,497 11s. 3d., and the liabilities £1,060 10s. exclusive of the debt of £1,300 then owing on the Central School site. At the close of the year the credit balance on the Building Account was £1,480 145., and the liabilities £511 13s. 3d., exclusive of the debt of £800 still owing on the Central School site. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Geobge Talbot, Chairman.

SECONDARY CLASS (WESTPORT DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL). Examined 21st and 22nd September, 1899. Mr. D. Strahan, M.A. On roll, 21; present, 19. At the time of the examination the High School had been at work less than eight months, so that the scholars deserve great credit for the excellence of their work. The subjects were English, geography, arithmetic, algebra, Euclid, French, Latin, and elementary chemistry. A very satisfactory course of work had been undertaken in all branches except English. Here we would recommend the use of a simple prose classic, together with the preparation of a play of Shakespeare, and that more attention should be paid to grammar, composition, and spelling, the last mentioned being the only unsatisfactory branch of the work examined by us. Algebra and French were the best subjects, the average marks in each being 78 and 72 per cent, respectively. The Euclid also was good, and geography and Latin were very satisfactory, the average marks being 64 and 63 per cent, respectively. In Latin a somewhat lengthy course had been undertaken, one pupil having finished the " Principia Latina," Part 1., and being able to translate very well a small part of Part 11. The same scholar had in French mastered a portion of " Chardenal's Second French Course." In arithmetic the same tests as are set for Standard VI. were given, and were, on the whole, satisfactorily answered, the average mark of the class being 63 per cent. Five of the papers were very poor, but seven of them were excellent. We submit a table showing the number of pupils in each, division, with details of the course of instruction.

GEEY. Sic,— Education Office, Greymouth, 27th March, 1900. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Grey Education Board for the year 1899. The Boaed. — The members who retired on the 31st March last were : Mr. Byrne, Mr. McGuire, and Mr. Petrie. At the election to fill the Vacancies thereby constituted Mr. McGuire retired owing to his intended departure from the district, the three remaining candidates, Mr. Byrne, Mr. Petrie, and Mr. Nancarrow, were therefore declared elected. The Board thus consisted of Messrs. John Byrne, John Flynn, S. B. Harris, Hon. James Kerr, W. E. Kettle, James Marshall, E. Nancarrow, Joseph Petrie, and Frank White. During the year the Board has held twelve regular meetings. Schools.—There were twenty-eight schools in operation at the close of the year, being a decrease of two on the previous year. The Orwell Creek, Maori Gully, and Teremakau Schools have beeen closed temporarily owing to the paucity of attendance. A new school was opened at Kotuku, and another at the Poirua Settlement is approaching completion. Teachees. —The teachers in the employ of the Board comprised fourteen males and fortythree females; of these eighteen are sole teachers. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December. Nine pupil-teachers were examined ; seven of these qualified for a higher grade, and two failed. Scholaeships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held in December. For the four scholarships, two town and two country, there were thirteen competitors, five from the Grey District High School and eight from the country. The Grey District High School won the first and second town scholarships, and the Dunganville and Hatter's Schools respectively won the first and second country scholarships. Finance.—At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a debit balance of £117. The amount expended during the year was £1,327 Is. 7d. The Board's General Account at the close of the year showed a debit balance of £19 Bs. 6d. I have, &c, Joseph Peteie, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WESTLAND. Sm,— Education Office, Hokitika, 22nd January, 1900. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1899. The Boabd. —In March Messrs. McWhirter, Michel, and Stennard retired, and the two former and Mr. T. W. Bruce were elected as members. 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. Schools. —During the year thirty-four schools have been in operation, but one of these, the Karangarua Household School, was closed in February, leaving thirty-three open at the end of the year. At the beginning of the year 1900 the number will be increased by the reopening of the Karangarua and Taipo Household Schools, and by the establishment of a new school of twenty-five pupils at Awatuna. The secondary class of the Hokitika District High School consisted at the end of the year of twenty-six pupils. The results of the annual examination are very satisfactory. The class for manual instruction in connection with the Kumara School has, with success, been continued during the year. The work of pupils is referred to in the Inspector's annual report. Attendance. —The total roll-number for the district at the end of the year was 1,292. The average attendance was 85-7 per cent, of the average roll-number. A further decrease of thirtynine in the roll-number has to be recorded. Teachees. —The number of teachers under the Board at the end of the year was fifty-seven, including ten head teachers, twenty-three sole teachers, fourteen assistants, nine pupil-teachers, and one monitor. The engagement of the monitor has been terminated, and in future this class of teacher will not be employed. Scholaeships.-—During the year eight scholarships have been in force, six of the holders attending the secondary class of the Hokitika District High School, and two receiving instruction in a similar institution in Greymouth. At the examination held in December there were twentysix candidates, of whom seventeen obtained the requisite marks to qualify for a scholarship, and are, if not scholarship-holders, entitled to attend a secondary class of Westland on payment of half the usual fees. The four heading the list received scholarships tenable for two years —one of £23, and three of £8 each. Finance.—During the year 1899 the Board has expended £1,414 14s. 2d. in connection with the Building Fund. The receipts included an ordinary vote of £750, and a special vote in connection with new schools of £303, the greater part of which was received just before the close of the preceding year. New school buildings have been provided at Jackson's, Kanieri Forks, and Awatuna. At the end of the year there remained a debit balance of £35 19s. lid. Owing to the continued fall in the roll-number of the district the General Account has suffered a loss resulting in a debit balance of £209 2s. 2d. During the third quarter the Board adopted new regulations in regard to staffs and salaries that it is hoped will provide to some extent a remedy for this unfortunate state of affairs. Special assistance is, however, urgently needed to enable the Board to provide adequate staffs and salaries, and at the same time to remove the overdraft incurred during the past year. Strong representations have, for a considerable time, been made by this Board and others to the Government of the colony to secure increased capitation according to the number of pupils attending aided schools. The large proportion of these schools has crippled the Board's finances, and if aid is not forthcoming only one of two courses is open.: either some of these schools must be closed, or the staffs and salaries of the larger schools must be further reduced. The former would entail great hardship on a number of enterprising settlers, while the latter is distressing to contemplate, seeing that the remuneration of the teachers already compares very unfavourably with that of other districts. The need is urgent, and the Board will heartily welcome an assurance that during the coming year the necessary assistance is to be provided. I have, &c, John McWhietee, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

REPORT ON THE HOKITIKA DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL.

Note. —The instruction is carried on, where possible, with a view of compassing the requirements of the matriculation and Junior Civil Servioe examinations.

NOETH CANTEEBUEY. Sib,— Christchurch, 28th March, 1900. 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, 1899 : — The Board. —The three members who retired by rotation at the end of March, 1899, were Mr. T. W. Adams, Mr. H. W. Peryman, and Mr. T. S. Weston, all of whom were re-elected. At a meeting held on the 12th April Mr. Eennie was elected Chairman for the ensuing year; Mr. Adams, Mr. Buddo, Mr. Dalziel, and Mr. Peryman were elected members of the buildings committee ; Mr. Hardy, Mr. Munnings, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. Weston members of the appointments committee; and Mr. Adams, Mr. Buddo, Mr. Dalziel, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. Weston members of the Normal School committee. On the 21st June Mr. Saunders resigned his seat on the Board, consequent upon his intended early departure for England. The Board presented Mr. Saunders with an address expressing its deep regret at the retirement of a colleague who had rendered such signal service in the cause of education, and who, as Chairman of the Board and of its several committees, had contributed so materially to the successful working of the primary school system in the North Canterbury District. On the 13th September the vacancy on the Board was filled by the election of Mr. John Lee Scott, who was subsequently elected member of the Normal School committee, Mr. Weston having resigned in order to create a vacancy. Mr. Peryman was elected to fill the vacancy on the appointments committee caused by the retirement of Mr. Saunders. The Board held seventeen meetings during the year, of which one was a special meeting. The buildings committee met nineteen times, the appointments committee twenty-seven times, and the Normal School committee ten times. The Board's Eepresbntativbs.—At a meeting on the 12th April Mr. Buddo was appointed a Commissioner of Education Eeserves, in place of Mr. H. E. Webb, to whom the Board caused a letter to be forwarded expressing its thanks for his past services in that capacity. Mr. E. Latter was appointed member of the Akaroa High School Board, and Mr. W. Harrison was re-elected to a similar position on the Eangiora High School Board. School Buildings.—The total expenditure on buildings during the year 1899 was £6,575 7s. 3d., the amount spent in each district being shown in appended Table No. 7. Of this sum, £3,390 was for new schools and teachers' houses, the balance being absorbed by the numerous demands inseparable from a proper maintenance of the large number of wooden buildings now under the Board's care. Early in the year a large infant school at Belfast, a new school at Ellesmere, and teachers' houses at Bushside, Doyleston, Highbank, and Eabbit Island, were completed. At Culverden and Okuti Valley new schools were also erected, the residents assisting towards the cost; while teachers' houses were also built at Mackenzie and Halkett, and additions made to the house at Clarkville. Of the works authorised towards the close of 1899, a small school at Hundalee (Kaikoura) and additions to the Tai Tapu house are nearing completion, and a school at Omihi (Waipara), and teachers' houses at Domett, Port Eobinson, and Spotswood, have been put in progress. The Board has also agreed to make a grant in aid of a small school at Birch Hill, but owing to a little difficulty about the site its erection has been delayed. With the exception of South Springston, which was decided upon at the end of the previous year, no new districts were formed during 1899, while alterations in boundaries were practically confined to a readjustment of the Mayfield School District. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year 1899 was 200, of which twelve were aided schools. The Okuti Valley aided school was opened during the first quarter of the year, while those at Montserrat and Clarence Bridge were closed; at the latter work has recently been resumed. The separate schools at the end of the year were classified as follows : Under 15 pupils, twenty ; 15 and under 20, eighteen; 20 and under 25, twenty-three; 25 and under 50, seventy ; 50 and under 75, sixteen; 75 and under 100, fourteen; 100 and under 150, fourteen ; 150 and under 300, eleven ; 300 and under 500, ten ; 500 and upwards, 4. Maintenance. —The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances amounted to £54,212 7s. 3d., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £6,842 14s. 4d.; making a total of £61,055 Is. 7d. The working average for the year was 16,882 ; but the average of the four quarters commencing with the December quarter of 1898, on which payments were actually made, was 16,943. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore £3 45., and the cost of maintaining the schools, including incidental expenses, £3 12s. Ofd. per head. The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1899 (besides thirty-five sewing-mistresses and one temporary monitor) was 508, a decrease of twenty-eight compared with the number for previous year. Of these teachers, 228 (145 males and 83 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge; 164 (35 males and 129 females) were assistants; and 116 (31 males and 85 females) were pupil-teachers. As compared with previous years, there has been a marked decrease in the number of pupil-teachers, there being eighty fewer in the Board's service at the end of last year than was the case in December, 1891. Noemal School.—The number of students admitted to the Normal School during the year was thirty-eight, of whom ten were males and twenty-eight females. The Principal's report, which is appended, gives information as to the changes in the staffs of the several departments, together with interesting reference to the degree of success attained by the students who sat for

81

E.—l

the matriculation and certificate examinations. At a meeting held on the 4th October the Board resolved to respectfully request the Government to increase the grant in aid of the training of students. The reply received, while not so satisfactory as the Board could have wished, promised an early consideration of the whole question of training-schools. As nearly all the teachers in North Canterbury, besides a large number now employed in other education districts, have gone through a period of training in the Christchurch Normal School, and have, in the main, obtained their teachers' certificates at the conclusion of their training in that institution, the. Board is justified in the belief that its training-school supplies an important part in the educational system of the colony, and as such is entitled to the Minister's most favourable consideration. Education Conference.—Early in the year the Wanganui Education Board proposed that a conference should be held in Wellington during the session of Parliament to consider the proposed revision of the syllabus and allied subjects. The Board notified its willingness to send delegates, and at a meeting on the 21st June Mr. Weston and Dr. Anderson were appointed to represent the Board. In addition to the subjects brought forward by the Wanganui Board and the New Zealand Educational Institute, the Board suggested that the urgent need for an increase in the capitation grant should be dealt with. As the Hon. the Minister of Education has been so good as to cause to be distributed the minutes of the proceedings of the conference, it is unnecessary to dwell in detail upon the many important resolutions passed and submitted for the consideration of the Government. In common with conditions obtaining in other education districts, the Board's revenue is not sufficient for the proper maintenance of its schools and payment of its teachers. The Board therefore earnestly trusts that the Minister will, at the first opportunity, restore the ss. deducted from the capitation grant in 1887. Inspection.—The Inspectors' report for the year 1899, with the usual statistical information, and tables giving the results of the year's examinations, accompany this report. The Inspectors express their appreciation of the improved system of appointment of teachers initiated by the Board, which, in their opinion, cannot fail to be of great service both to the local Committees, to whom the final selection is left, and to the teachers most deserving of promotion. The Inspectors rightly refer to the issue of amended regulations for the inspection and examination of schools as forming the most important feature of the year. The regulations, as at first proposed, differed from the arrangements contemplated in the resolutions of the Education Conference, inasmuch as there was then no recognition of a standard organization. The Board notes with pleasure that, as finally amended, the standard principle in the classification is to some extent recognised. In view of the generally expressed opinion that, under previous conditions, the average pupil passed through the standards sufficiently quickly, the wisdom of reducing the pass-subjects to five, and of accepting work of the next lower standard in two out of that number, is open to serious question. Such an innovation will undoubtedly leave many of our primary-school children ill-prepared for the work required of them after leaving school. The Board therefore trusts that favourable consideration will be given to the Inspectors' report on this subject, copy of which has already been forwarded for the Minister's information. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examinations were held on the 18th December and following days. The number of competitors for the junior scholarships was 122 (sixty-seven boys and fifty-five girls), and for those of the senior class the numbers were twelve and five respectively. The Board awarded thirteen junior scholarships and six senior scholarships. Of the six successful junior candidates from schools defined as country schools, five required the year's advantage as to age. There were six entries for the Gammack scholarships. Manual and Technical Insteuction. —The manual-training classes at the Normal School and at Leeston were continued throughout the year. The number receiving instruction remained approximately the same as during the last quarter of preceding year, while so far as drawing is concerned the work showed an improvement on that of 1898. The following table shows the number that attended during each quarter, with the number of classes : — _ . . Number Number Number „ , , Average Quarter oommenomg o£ Olaeses . of Teachers, of Boys. TotaL Attendance.

This will to some extent keep at school those children who are admittedly too young to leave. But without more stringent legislation than at present exists it will be impossible to cope successfully with the worst class of offenders. The directions in which further improvement is desirable may be briefly stated as follows: (1) The raising of the age of exemption to fourteen years, so as to bring the Act into touch with " The Factories Act, 1894," under which children below that age are not allowed to enter factories; (2) six attendances in any week in the course of which the school is open eight times to be compulsory ; (3) an increase in penalty after the first offence. That satisfactory results would follow these amendments may be taken for granted, and more especially so if all Justices of the Peace adjudicating upon these cases would insist upon a strict enforcement of the Act. During

E.—l

82

1899 202 parents or guardians were summoned for the irregular attendance of their children. In 143 cases fines, amounting in the aggregate to £15 45., were inflicted. Most of the remaining cases were dismissed, the large majority, the Truant Officer regrets to have to report, for no apparent reason. Regulations.—ln October last the Board appointed a committee to revise the scale of staff and salaries, and to ascertain what reductions in other directions were practicable. It was found that, with a falling average, the salaries in force since 1894 could not be continued, and that in several instances the staff allowance was scarcely sufficient. Under the new scale recommended by the committee, and adopted by the Board early in the present year, the old minimum—4l — at which a school is entitled to a master and mistress has been restored, with provision for a temporary monitor under certain conditions ; assistant teachers will be appointed at one stage earlier, but at reduced salaries ; and the amount paid to teachers in the city schools will be calculated on the average attendance. The difficulties met with did not permit of an altogether proportionate reduction in salaries, and in some instances, notably as regards mistresses in schools with, an average of from 41 to 130, no deductions were made. . With regard to the deduction of 5 per cent, from incidental allowances, the Board, in the words of the Committee's report, can only repeat that economy cannot be sought entirely at the cost of salaries, a view which it feels the large majority of School Committees will cheerfully indorse. " The Eating Act, 1876," and Amending Acts. —Early in the year 1899 the Board was called upon to defend two cases in connection with attempts to levy rates on the teachers' houses at Ashburton and Lyttelton. For many years the Board had enjoyed a continuous and complete immunity from payment of rates. Though the attempts in question failed, yet the Board was put to considerable and quite unnecessary expense in the matter. In a recent case, Invercargill Borough Council versus the Southland Education Board, in which the Council appealed from the decision of the Stipendiary Magistrate that the property occupied by the local headmaster was not rateable, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, with costs. In view of this decision the Board ventures to hope that local bodies will in future take steps to keep the Board's name off their valuation lists. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Eennie, Chairman.

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. g IBj Normal School, Christchurch, 6th March, 1900. I have the honour to report as follows on the work of the Normal School for the year 1899:— At the beginning of the year we admitted twenty-nine new students, of whom six were males and twenty-three females, including one from South Canterbury, who received no maintenance allowance. Five students of the previous year were retained as second-year students, in consequence of the number of new students being smaller than usual. One of these students undertook successfully the relieving work in connection with the Model School, work thai has hitherto been done by a relieving mistress. Four female students had to

83

E.—l

give up work owing to ill-health; and four students of previous years were brought back for some months as a necessary increase of the staff for the latter part of the year. Fourteen students sat for the matriculation examination, of whom one fell ill during the examination, three failed, and ten passed. At the examination held by the Education Department for certificates, twenty-eight sat for D or B or completion, of whom twenty-four have been wholly or partially successful. Three students who attended courses of lectures at Canterbury College passed the examination for the first year at that institution. As in 1898, the students have received under Mrs. Bullock some special practice and preparation for the work of the varied occupations related to kindergarten work, and I hope to be able to extend this work somewhat in the coming year. The Girls' School has done well in the examinations for scholarships, and it is satisfactory to note that the higher girla show undiminished interest in the cookery class which they attend at the School of Domestic Instruction. I have, &c, The Chairman, Normal School Committee. Edwin Watkins, 8.A., Principal.

SOUTH CANTEEBUEY. Sic, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1900. I 'have the honour to submit herewith the report of the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury for the year ending with the 31st December, 1899. Boaed.—At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. William Barker Howell, J. P. (Chairman), John Talbot, J. P., John Jackson, J. P., James Stephen Keith, J. P., Peter Keddie, J. P., Daniel Newman Inwood, J. P., the Eev. William J. Comrie, the Eev. George Barclay, J. P., and Lieut.-Colonel Walter Montague Moore, J. P. The three members retiring by effluxion of time on the 31st March, 1899, were Messrs. Howell, Inwood, and Keddie, all of whom were re-elected. One extraordinary vacancy took place in the month of July by the resignation of the Eev. W. J. Comrie, and the election resulted in the return of Mr. George Innes Hamilton to fill the vacancy. Sixteen meetings of the Board were held during the year, twelve ordinary and four special meetings. The average attendance for the sixteen meetings was 73. Schools. —At the end of 1899 there were sixty-seven full-time and thirty aided schools in operation, the classification of which was as follows : Under 15 pupils, five; under 25, fourteen; under 50, twenty-eight ; under 100, twelve; under 150, one; under 300, three; under 500, three ; over 500, one. Geraldine Flat School was closed before the end of the year, the buildings being removed to Clandeboye, where a new school was established, although it was not opened till after the end of the year. Attendance. —The working average for the four quarters of 1899 gives 4,399, against the strict average of 4,340. The working average in 1899 was less than it was in 1898 by ninety-three. During the winter, which was exceptionally severe, and, in fact, during the whole year, there has been a great deal of sickness throughout the district, measles, whooping-cough, diphtheria, and colds affecting the children and the average attendance. It is to be remarked, moreover, and as a subject for regret, that there is a marked diminution in the number of admissions of young children to the. schools. Finance. —The Board this year, owing to a decrease in its revenue in consequence of the continued falling-off of the school attendance, was obliged to make a reduction in the salaries of the staff and of all teachers with salaries over £100, increasing, however, some of the lowest salaries. The Maintenance Account at the end of the year showed a debit balance of £176, whilst the Building Account for the same period showed a credit balance of £717 7s. 5d., which, however, had been all allocated, and was then due under contracts. Buildings.—The principal operations for 1899 were: Building school at Salisbury, with surveys of same, and fencing site, and furnishing; building school at Te Ngawai, fencing site, and erecting certain rooms attached to the school building for the accommodation of the teacher as a residence; building school at Hakateramea, with purchase of site and survey, with grants for road and cutting rock; building residence at Springbrook ; completing residence and fencing same at Geraldine, with repairs to the school; removing the Geraldine Flat School and residence to Clandeboye and re-erecting there, clearing and fencing and surveying site. Pupil-teachers.—-The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in the last week in June, when twenty-six pupil-teachers with nine candidates for employment presented themselves for examination. Twenty-four pupil-teachers passed and two failed. Eight candidates passed and one failed. District High Schools. —A special report on the secondary work of the District High Schools was submitted by the Board's Inspectors. From this report it appears that thirty-five scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and twenty-one at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, Latin, French, Euclid, algebra, and trigonometry. The Waimate High School Board of Governors continues its 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 pupils. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Wμ. B. Howell, Chairman.

Waimate District High School —continued.

Temuka District High School.

Waimate. English. —The thirty-one scholars that took English were presented in two divisions, a senior class and a junior class; and, in view of the large number of scholars examined, the amount of work professed, and the searching nature of the questions set, the results muse be considered very satisfactory indeed. Thirteen scholars gained from 70 to 86 per cent., and only three gained less than 50 per cent. French. —ln French the pupils were presented in five classes, ranging from beginners to those preparing for matriculation ; and all through the results were most gratifying, three papers being excellent, twelve very good, and five good. Latin. —Seventeen papers were very good, seven were good, two were fair, one was moderate, and one inferior. Nothing but sound teaching, with earnest application on the part of the scholars, could produce such a satisfactory result. The six scholars of the highest class gained an average of 72 per cent, in a paper which included translations of passages from "Horace," with notes on peculiarities of syntax; translation of " unseen " passages from Csesar; and Latin prose composition. Algebra. —The results are excellent, especially in the two sections of the first course and in the advanced class. The work was done with a degree of thoroughness and accuracy seldom met with in a secondary school.

Euclid.—Oi the papers submitted thirteen were excellent, eleven were very good, five were good, and three were fair—a result which is creditable alike to teacher and pupils. Trigonometry. —A very good beginning was made in this subject. Temuka. English. —One paper was excellent, nine were very good, five were good, one was fair, and one moderate. The scholars had carefully studied the characters and incidents of the play, and were quick to note the point of all allusions, and to explain the meaning of difficult passages. French. —Three papers were excellent, seven were very good, one was good, and one moderate. The papers as a whole were remarkable for accuracy. Latin. —One paper was excellent, eight were very good, five were good, and one was fair. This result speaks well for the diligence of the scholars and for the soundness of the instruction. Algebra. —All the work in this subject was most creditable, six of the papers being excellent, eleven very good, and four good. Euclid. —With very few exceptions, the propositions were thoroughly well known, and neatly and methodically put down. Seven papers were excellent, six were very good, five were good, and two were fair. We have, &c, a" E c g SK; m - a -'}^p^. The Chairman, South Canterbury Board of Education.

OTAGO. Sir,— Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1900. 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 1899:— Boaed. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Dr. William Brown, Eev. P. B. Eraser, Messrs. John McEae Gallaway, John J. Eamsay, John Macgregor, James Mitchell, William Snow, Henry Harraway, and James Sim. Messrs. Gallaway, Eamsay, and the Eev. P. B. Eraser retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Five candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in February resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Gallaway and Eamsay, and the election of Mr. Donald Borrie. At the first meeting of the Board, in April, Dr. Brown was re-elected Chairman. In October Dr. Brown resigned his seat, and Mr. Alexander Kyle was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Eamsay was elected Chairman for the remainder of the year. The Eev. P. B. Fraser and Mr. Gallaway were appointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Donald Borrie was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr. Donald Borrie was appointed by the Board to be one of the Education Eeserves Commissioners. The Board held twenty-two meetings during the year. Numbee op Schools. —At the close of 1898 there were 219 schools in operation in the district. During the year one school was permanently closed and four new schools were opened. The school at Awakino was closed owing to the removal of the children of school age from the district. New schools were opened at Momona, Akatore Coast, Deep Stream, and Tokarahi. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 222. Owing to want of funds the Board was unable to build or sanction any new schools during the year. The following shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance: Under 15 pupils, twenty-nine; 15 and under 20, twenty-five; 20 and under 25, twenty-one; 25 and under 50, seventy-three ; 50 and under 75, twenty-five ; 75 and under 100, fifteen ; 100 and under 150, eight; 150 and under 300, ten; 300 and under 500, ten ; 500 and upwards, six. Tbachbes.' —There were in the Board's service on the 31st December 518 teachers (213 males, 305 females), classed as under : Heads of school, 81; sole teachers, 141; assistants, 183; pupil-teachers, 82; teachers of sewing, 31. This shows an increase of twelve sole teachers, and a decrease of nine heads of schools, twenty assistants, seven pupil-teachers, and one teacher of sewing, a total decrease of twenty-five teachers. There were eighty-two pupil-teachers (twentyeight male and fifty-four female) in the Board's service at the end of the year. At the examination of applicants for employment as pupil-teachers ninety-six candidates (twelve boys and eightyfour girls) presented themselves. Out of this number fifty-seven passed the prescribed tests, and six boys and thirteen girls received appointments. Attendance.—The returns show a considerable falling-off in the attendance for the year. There is a decrease of 702 in the number that attended at all during the year, while the average attendance shows a decrease of 788. The average attendance of the schools in the district has fallen 1,612 during the last two years, while the number that attended at all shows a falling-off of 1,118, and 1,179 fewer pupils were on the school-rolls at the end of 1899 than at the end of 1897. It is difficult to account for this state of matters. The district never was more prosperous than it has been during the past two years, and it is doubtful if during any previous period of similar duration the same number of new dwellinghouses have been erected in the City of Dunedin. There are few empty houses, and dwellings of all kinds are most difficult to get, and still the attendance of the city and suburban schools shows a steady decline year by year. This state of affairs affects the Board's finances very materially, and suggests a social problem which appears very difficult to

87

E.—l

solve. Irregular attendance is largely on the increase, and an amendment of the truancy clauses of the Act is urgently needed to deal with the careless and apathetic parent who allows his children to roam the street at all hours, or who, to gain a few shillings, deprives his children of their only opportunity of qualifying for intelligent citizenship. The Inspectors have in their reports again and again directed attention to the- educational importance of regular attendance. In their report for this year they say, " Irregular attendance is' the most distracting factor in our school economy. It retards the progress even of pupils who attend well; it depresses the spirit of the schools ; it causes friction between teachers and pupils, and between teachers and parents; and it adds immensely to the difficulty of discipline and control. It is, indeed, an unmitigated evil. Country Committees are, not unnaturally, unwilling to face the enforcement of the compulsory clauses, which, after all, is the only effective way with inveterate defaulters." Some School Committees are alive to the evils of irregular attendance, and make it an important part of their duty to look after the irregulars. They make the working condition of their schools in this respect as favourable as possible, and in doing so materially improve their own financial position; but there are others who do not seem to realise the importance of a high average attendance until their allowance from the Board is reduced, and possibly their children lose the services of one of the teaching staff. Committees should remember that the income of the Board is determined by the average attendance reported by the head teachers of their schools quarter by quarter, and that an income reduced by reduced average attendance necessitates a reduced expenditure. That there is necessity for energetic action on the part of the majority of Committees is evident from the following figures: The average roll-number for the year was 20,844, and the average attendance was 17,748 —that is, throughout the year over three thousand children were daily absent from school. The attendance of these children would have increased the expending powers of the Board by £11,000. Of course, such an attendance is not possible, but the attendance for last year falls very far below the possible. The highest attendance per cent, is 96, the lowest 59. In the several districts the conditions affecting attendance so far as health and weather are concerned should be somewhat similar, but we find the attendances at schools in the same locality differing widely—92 against 68, 90 against 73, 89 against 72, 95 against 65, 82 against 61, 76 against 59, 90 against 74, &c. Fifteen schools return average attendances of over 90 per cent., yielding a mean average of 92 per cent. Three of these are town schools, and nine of them city or suburban. Cambrian's, with 59 per cent., Kyeburn, with 61, and Hamilton's, with 64, have during the year been practically half-time schools. It would be well for Committees whose attendance report is less than 80 per cent, for the quarter to examine the registers and satisfy themselves that none of the absences have been preventible, that the regular attenders are not defrauded of their rights by the preventible irregular attendance of their schoolmates, and that the income of the Board and of Committees is not unnecessarily curtailed. ScHOtAESHiPS. —Twenty-two scholarships (ten junior and twelve senior) were awarded at the December examination. In all 139 candidates competed, thirty-four for the senior and 105 for the junior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, ten of the junior competitors and seventeen 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-six pupils receiving free education at the High Schools in Dunedin in connection with the scholarship scheme. Truancy.—From the following statement an estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : Cases investigated, 548; notices served on parents or guardians under section 5 of "School Attendance Act, 1894," 309; summonses served under section 5 of "School Attendance Act, 1894," 2; order of the Court obtained under section 5, 2; 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), 54. Under the fifty-four penalty summonses there were thirty-two convictions. Eighteen cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendants of exemption certificates, and four cases were dismissed. The total amount of fines for the year was £3 4s. In accordance with section 7 of the Act the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. Finance. — A certified statement of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereto. The sum expended in teachers' salaries (including bonuses on classification) and bonuses for instructing pupil-teachers was £59,795 3s. 3d.; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,494 2s. 2d; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £5,010 18s. 2d. The falling-off in the attendance for the past two years, already referred to, has resulted in a loss of income to the Board of over £6,000. The staffs of all the schools were brought strictly into accord with the scale, with the result that many deserving and hard-working teachers were thrown out of employment, and a few of the small schools had to be closed. The allowances to Committees for incidental expenses were also reduced. Economy was practised in every way possible, and, notwithstanding, the Board finds that its income from the capitation grant is not sufficient to meet expenditure. Unless the Government grant the additional ss. per pupil deducted in 1887 the Board will be forced to close some of the small schools, which have been established and are maintained at great cost to enable the children of settlers in remote and outlying districts to receive education. As an inducement to teachers to raise themselves in the ranks of their profession by systematic study and efficient work, the Board in 1878 adopted a scheme of bonus additions to salaries, regulated by the teachers' classification. These payments increased to such an extent as to prove a severe strain on the finances of the Board, and in 1892 it was decided to grant no additional bonuses, while the payment of existing bonuses was restricted to those teachers who were at that date placed in Division 11. of their class. In 1896 a new scale of salaries was adopted by the

13— E. 1.

E.—l

88

Board, and made applicable to all teachers appointed after that date, and thus teachers with equal qualifications and equal responsibilities were being paid according to three different scales. The Board realised that this inequitable mode of payment of teachers' salaries required altering, and early in the year a committee was appointed to deal with the whole subject. After long and careful consideration of the matter, a scale of payment of salaries and staffing of schools was adopted, which came into operation on the Ist June. The salaries are now paid according to a uniform scale, the amount depending upon the average attendance of the school and the position of the teacher on the school staff, thus securing to teachers equal payment for equal work and responsibility. • Inspection.—The Inspectors' general report shows that, though the schools suffered severely from epidemic sickness, the examination results are slightly higher than those of 1898. Of the discipline and morale of the schools the Inspectors speak in terms of high commendation. It is remarkable that for the last three years there has been hardly any variation in the percentage of standard passes. In the year 1897 it was 89, and in the years 1898 and 1899 it was 88. In 1898 there was a decline of nearly 2£ per cent, in the number of children presented for examination; in 1899 the decline was nearly 3-J- per cent. The decline since 1896 is over 7-J per cent. The figures given in the Inspectors' report do not support the theory that the class above Standard VI. is doing little or no work of appreciable value. The Inspectors point out the difficulties under which it is, in many cases, conducted. They also discuss its function, and make suggestions for increasing its usefulness. School of Art and Design.—The total number of students who attended the school during the past session was 386. This total includes ninety-three teachers and pupil-teachers, thirty-five Training College students, 102 students who attended the day classes, and 156 who attended the evening classes. Three changes have occurred in the staff—Mr. David E. Hutton, who for the past seventeen years had been connected with the school, received the appointment of Director of the Wanganui Technical School; and Messrs. Payne (teacher of machine construction) and Crow (pupilteacher) resigned. Mr. Makelin and Miss Hutton have carried on Mr. D. B. Hutton's classes, Mr. Stevenson has been appointed to teach machine construction, and Mr. Trochon has joined the staff as pupil-teacher. These new teachers have proved themselves thoroughly capable, and on the whole it may be said that the changes have interfered but little with the steady progress of the classes. The cost of the school for the year was—Salaries, £669 155.; incidental expenses, £66 6s. 3d.: total, £736 Is. 3d. Less fees, £333 10s.; Government grant under Manual and Technical Elementary Instruction Act, £181 85.—£514 18s. Net cost, £221 3s. 3d. Training College.—The report of the Principal of the Training College is appended. The cost of the institution for the year was—Salaries, £490; allowances to students, £541 13s. 4d.; incidentals, £36 ss. 4d. : total, £1,067 18s. Bd. Less Government grant for training of teachers, £300. Net cost, £767 18s. Bd. By order of the Board, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. P. G. Pryde, Secretary.

TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Sir, — Normal School, Dunedin, 14th March, 1900. I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report of the Training College for 1899. We enrolled forty-four students this year, and the following statement shows the number of male and female students in attendance during the year:— Males. Females. Total. Second-year students ... ... ... ... 1 13 14 First-year students ... ... ... ... 8 22 13 Number left during the year ... ... ... 0 1 1 Number in attendance at the close of the session ... 9 34 43 In presenting this report I shall give a brief outline of the course of study pursued in the Training College classes during the past year, and first with regard to the criticism and experimental lessons given in the Normal School class-rooms. Our first subjects of study this year were reading-, spelling-, and language-lessons. The principles of good public-school reading were discussed, and the methods for securing an intelligent appreciation of the language of the readinglesson were pointed out. The students then gave forty-three lessons on the subject to classes in Standards I. to 11. To give an effective reading-lesson to a class of sixty or seventy pupils requires a great deal of skill and energy. To conduct a reading-lesson so as to give all the pupils practice in reading, to illustrate the different characteristics of style in reading, and at the same time to keep a large class interested in the lessons for some three-quarters of an hour, is a very difficult task. Many of the lessons fulfilled these conditions, others fell far short; but in the case of the latter a pointed criticism by myself or by the students did not fail to show wherein the lesson came short of the requirements of a model reading-lesson. I kept the students at infantschool reading, particularly word-building, for a considerable time. The chief defects noticeable in these lessons were an imperfect acquaintance with the precise sounds of the letters, and a want of attention to proper methods of producing them. Until our students know how to classify the letters employed in the word-building lesson according to the organic method of producing proper sounds we cannot expect to get the best lessons on word-building. One other feature common to the lessons, and worth mentioning, consists in the inability of some of the students to recognise where regular word-building should begin and where, in the school course of reading, it should end. The distinction between word-building by means of letters and word-building by means of syllables is often lost sight of. I have pointed out that, in the upper class of infant-room, wordbuilding by syllables should take the place of word-building by letters. The students gave twentysix lessons in word-building. Our next lessons were the ordinary class-lessons in writing, of which thirteen were taken, chiefly in the standard classes. During the same month we were engaged in constructing and studying time-tables suitable for infant-class work, for separate standard classes, for combined classes, as well as the time-tables required for the different kinds of country schools. In the annual examination paper for the D or E teacher's certificate there is always one section of the school-management paper dealing with time-tables. It requires a great deal of practice in writing out time-tables, a very good memory, and a sound knowledge of the plan of the time-table to be able to reproduce in half an hour any one of at least a dozen different types of time-tables. I discuss all the time-tables with the students, and give them a copy of each, but beyond this very little time is given to preparing them for writing them out under a time-limit. In July we began a course of lessons on arithmetic. Eight lessons were given in notation and numeration, twenty-eight in the lower and six in the higher school work. In addition to these

E.—l

93

I arranged for a series of lessons on mental arithmetic. I gave more attention to oral arithmetic than to written work. For my part, I would like to see more oral and less written work in arithmetic. In a great deal of the written arithmetic the pupils lose themselves in a maze of figures, and signs, and brackets, representing operations that never by any possibility find, their counterpart in actual calculations either in the counting-house or anywhere else. The students gave twenty-eight lessons this session in simple mental operations. We next took up the subject of registration, or how to keep school registers, and make up the weekly and quarterly returns asked for by the Education Department. This subject, simple enough to those familiar with it, presents some difficulties to new students. It is quite a usual thing for pupil-teachers who have kept a register for four years to fail at the examination in registration. This was the case last year when the examiner chose to avail himself of all the difficulties of the subject. Some of our time, but not a great deal, is devoted to practice in keeping registers and in making up quarterly returns. In grammar and geography not quite so many lessons were given this year as last. In the latter sixteen lessons were undertaken, chiefly in the lower standards, where they exemplified the use of the modelling-tray and other illustrative apparatus. Twenty-two object-lessons were given, dealing mainly with industrial operations, local industries, natural objects, as well as with such subjects as punctuality, manners, cleanliness, and speaking the truth. The students' work in giving physical exercises and drill has been more complete than formerly. Each of them gave several lessons to the standard classes, and one or more of these was given under Mr. Hanna's supervision, so that he had an opportunity of observing to what extent his training in the gymnasium was being carried out in the every-day lessons in physical exercises. With the view of emphasizing the importance of getting our students thoroughly proficient in this subject, I have arranged that no student will receive the Training College certificate unless Mr. Hanna certifies that he is thoroughly competent to teach both gymnastics and physical drill. Notes of lessons were given in history and drawing. With Mr. Hutton's concurrence, I propose this year that the students take school drawing lessons in the Normal School under time-table conditions. It would be of great advantage to the students to get the benefit of Mr. Hutton's experience in this if he could see his way to supervise and direct the students' criticism lessons in this subject. Especially in Standards 1., 11., and 111. would this prove beneficial, for every junior pupil-teacher has a different method of treating the subject, and though many of them know how to draw well, they do not know how to teach the subject. Mr. Braik continues to take musical study, method, and singing. The method of fgiving lessons as carried out last year has been somewhat modified by having each of the students in turn taking his practical lesson before his fellow-students, and treating them as a standard class. This system has its advantages, and, if used as supplementary to that adopted last year, should give the student a good training in this important subject. Miss Eitzgerald continues to discharge her duties in the teaching of sewing with great faithfulness and in a most satisfactory way. The foregoing statement epitomizes the practical class-work carried on in the Normal School. In addition to this I have regular lectures on English ; English literature ; on the principles, aim, and history of education ; on the principles of psychology as applied to the art and science of teaching; and Mr. Gray gives daily lessons on science, mathematics, and Latin. I need not refer to Mr. Gray's duties further than to say that his work and personal influence go a long way towards making the work of the Training College successful and beneficial to the students. After completing a series of lessons on one of the practical subjects in the Normal School, the students are then sent out to the associated schools. The students have been sent to the associated schools at regular intervals. The following number of students have been sent to each of these schools: Albany Street, 5; Anderson's Bay, 3; Arthur Street, 6; Caversham, 5; Forbury, 6; George Street, 8 ; High Street, 6; Kensington, 7; Kaikorai, 7 ; Leith Valley, 2; Macandrew Eoad, 6 ; Mornington, 6; Normal, 16 ; North-east Valley, 7 ; and Union Street, 6. The object in sending them out to the associated schools is to get practice in teaching in the presence of others, to gain confidence in teaching under different circumstances and with different pupils. They are obliged, too, to prepare themselves for giving the lesson by setting out beforehand in notes of lessons the leading points in the plan of their lesson. The headmasters of the schools also give the students an opportunity of seeing the organization of the school, and taking part in one or more classes during the week in which the students attend. I have to thank the headmasters for the regularity with which they send in their reports on the students' lessons, and for the service they render them in supervising and criticizing their lessons. I may say that the students are always glad to visit the associated schools, and all of them are anxious to secure a good report on their lesson. In addition to these regular lessons of the first-year students, I avail myself of the associated schools to find practice in teaching for the second-year students, who in their first year complete their theoretical course. The Education Department insists that students of this class must pass two years in a training college before they receive a teacher's certificate. Some of our students belonging to this class have their homes in the country, and to save them expense I have frequently sent them to a school near their residence for a part of the second year, but only for a part of the time, as I recognise that the best field for a student of this kind is a course of work in an infant department of a fairly large school. The associated schools therefore supplement the work of our practical classes, and give a variety of work and experience that would not otherwise be obtained. The other branch of our practical course of training is given in connection with the Model School. The Model School is a small school in which all the classes are represented. The classes and numbers in each class this year were as follows: Standard VI., 2; Standard V.,2;

E.—l

94

Standardly., 4; Standard 111., 4; Standard 11., 4; Standard 1., 4; Primer, Part 11., 3; and Primer, Part 1., 1; or a total of twenty-six pupils. The first difficulty a young teacher encounters in taking charge of a school of this kind consists in making out a good workable time-table. To make myself familiar with time-tables of this kind I obtained from thirty of our small schools the time-tables in daily use. I studied them very carefully from all the essential points of view—in the light of the reputation of the school, with regard to the time devoted to each subject, the grouping of the subjects, and the amount of monitorial assistance required to carry out the work. From this material I drafted a time-table for our Model School. I discuss the principles of the table with the students, and explain the plan on which it is constructed. After the time-table has been learnt the students are placed in charge of the school, one at a time, with a second student to act as monitor. In every such school the assistance of a monitor is required to take the less important and mechanical work. After the routine of the lessons has been mastered a greater difficulty still exists —that of adapting the methods of teaching to suit the brief time allotted to each subject. The more elaborate and varied methods adopted in large classes are quite inapplicable in a school of this size. The same principles underlie both, but different methods are required. In discussing the work of the Model School I point out this fact, especially as it concerns the work and management of the infant classes. It must be evident that a student whose training is confined to the experience of a large school requires instruction and practice of this kind before being placed in charge of a country school where he has to do the work single-handed. The only other thing to which I wish to refer belongs to the literary side of our work. Under the Training College regulations a number of our students are enabled to attend the University and carry on their technical subjects at the same time. By far the larger number of the students, however, are not sufficiently advanced in their studies to take advantage of a university course, and these have a year's further tuition in English, Latin, and mathematics at the hands of the Training College staff. The following are the University results for the year : Junior mathematics—Second class, 1; third class, 3. Junior Latin —Second class, 1; third class, 4. Senior Latin —First class, 2 ; second class, 1; third class, 3. Senior English —First class, 1 ; second class, 1; third class, 1. Senior French—First class, 3. Political economy—First class, 1 ; third class, 2. Mental science— First class, 1; second class, 1. Biology—First class, 1; third class, 1. Junior chemistry—First class, 1. In the purely technical subjects, school method, science, drawing, singing, gymnastics, and sewing, the following are the results of the recent examination : Class C (partial pass), 1; Class D, 13; partial D, 17. Special mention (Class D) : History, 1; science, 3; Latin, 1; D and E school management, 1; music, 5. In connection with the department's examination in science, I have to report that two of the three science prizes were awarded to our students. As showing the good work done in our science laboratory, I may state that of the fifteen prizes awarded by the Education Department during the last five years no fewer than eight have been taken by students of the Otago Training College, and this in a competition where all the provinces are represented. In gymnastics and drill we are trying to reach a higher standard of work. Eleven of the students have gained the Board's certificate of proficiency in this subject. 1 have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. D. E. White, M.A., Principal.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 9th March, 1900. I have the honour to submit the following report of the proceedings of the Southland Board of Education for the year ended 31st December, 1899, as required by section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877." The Boaed. —The Board held thirteen meetings during the year, and the Executive Committee met twenty-three times. As in past years, the attendance of members, as a whole, was very satisfactory. The members of the Board retiring by rotation in March, 1899, were Messrs. James W. Bain, George McLeod, and Alfred Baldey. To fill the vacancies so caused five gentlemen were duly nominated, and the voting of the School Committees resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Baldey and McLeod, and the election of Mr. J. W. Eaymond as third member. The Board, at a special meeting held on the 22nd March, adopted unanimously the following resolution relative to Mr. Bain's retirement from his position as one of the Board's most useful and energetic members : " That it be recorded on the minutes of the Board the high appreciation in which Mr. J. W. Bain, our late colleague, was held, our appreciation of his active and painstaking services, and regret that circumstances have necessitated his retirement from an office which he has filled with fidelity and wisdom for so many years." Mr. Bain's illness and subsequent death in September came as a great shock not only to the members of this Board, but to the community in which his lot had been cast for more than thirty years, and in which he had occupied many influential and important public positions. The Board, in the following resolution, expressed its sense of the loss sustained to the cause of education by the death of Mr. Bain : " That this Board deeply regrets the death of Mr. James Walker Bain, who, as one of its members, did yeoman service in the cause of education " —a copy of which was sent to the relatives of the deceased gentleman. At the April meeting of the Board Mr. William Macalister was unanimously elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. On the Board of Governors of the Southland High Schools the

95

E.—l

Venerable Archdeacon Stoeker continued to act as one of the Board's representatives, Mr. F. Woodward acting as the other in place of the Eev. J. A. Asher, whose retirement was necessitated in consequence of his removal to the North Island, and whose services were duly acknowledged by the adoption of a complimentary resolution. In the month of July, Mr. Woodward was compelled, in consequence of prolonged and serious illness, to resign his position, and the vacancy was filled by the election of Mr. George McLeod. The following resolution expressive of the Board's feelings at Mr. Woodward's retirement was entered in its minutes: "That this Board records its high appreciation of the able and conscientious manner in which Mr. F. Woodward has carried out his duties as this Board's representative on the Southland High Schools Board of Governors." Mr. Thomas Mac Gibbon was selected to represent the Board's interests on the Trust of the School Commissioners of Otago. Schools and Attendance.—At the close of the preceding year (1898) there were 149 schools in operation. During the year 1899 one new school was established, at Dacre, while three schools were closed—viz., those at Centre Island (a household school), Cromarty (half-time school), and Wrey's Bush. There are therefore now only 147 schools in this district. The firstmentioned was discontinued owing to the removal of the lighthouse-keeper, for whose sole benefit it was established; the school at Cromarty ceased to exist on account of the removal of families from the district; and the Wrey's Bush School was closed on account of the opening of a convent school in the district, to attend which nine-tenths of the public-school pupils were withdrawn. The attendance for the year has shown a decided decrease in roll-number; a slight decrease in working average; and, strange to say, an actual increase in strict average, which is in itself eminently satisfactory. The actual figures are as follows : — Average Weekly Eoll. Strict Average. Working Average. 1898,.. ... ... ... 9,785 7,873 8,036 1899 9,655 7,902 8,024 Decrease ... ... 130 Increase 29 Decrease 12 There is nothing alarming in the fact that the roll-number has decreased by 130 pupils, and the working average by twelve, especially in view of the circumstance that three schools, one of them with a roll-number of from forty to forty-five pupils, have been closed, and only one school, with a roll-number of less than twenty pupils, has been opened. The decrease in numbers is also partly attributable to the circumstance that a Catholic school has been opened at Winton, which is attended by fifty-four pupils, most if not all of whom have been withdrawn from the public schools in or surrounding that centre. The fact that this retrogression, slight though it be, is but a continuation of a movement which made itself apparent in the previous year's returns must not be overlooked; nor must it be forgotten that it has not been our lot since the constitution of this education district to experience a decrease in the numbers of either schools or pupils, but, on the contrary, to anticipate a decided increase in both year by year. To give point to those remarks, it is only necessary to state that since December, 1885—a period of fourteen years—sixty-two new schools have been opened, and that the roll-number and work-ing-average attendance have increased by 2,778 and 2,680 pupils respectively, the mean average increase thus being 44 new schools, and 191 pupils in average attendance each year. To experience a decrease instead of an increase in the numbers which form the basis of all financial calculations is, to say the least, disconcerting, and, as elsewhere, has prejudicially affected this Board's financial position, as shown in its balance-sheet for the year. Teacheks. —At the close of the previous year there were in the Board's service 244 teachers of all grades. This number has been reduced to 241 in consequence of the closing of schools previously noted. Of this number 124 are males and 117 females. It is noteworthy that, by a vigorous system of encouraging boys to enter the service, the proportion of boys to girls employed as pupil-teachers in this district is now as Ito 3. For years past the ratio has been as 1 to 5, and in the year 1895 as 1 to 6 - 5. Of the work done by the teaching staff but little need be said. The Board believes that, generally speaking, their arduous work is faithfully and, on the whole, efficiently performed, and would be glad indeed if by a more liberal scale of capitation grants it could see its way to recompense more adequately the services thus rendered to the State. The Board trusts that the recommendation of the Wellington Education Conference, and the promise of the Minister of Education then and since given, will result in the establishment of a colonial scale of salaries for teachers, and that when it is introduced it will be found that a general levelling-up has been the guiding principle of the innovation. To this Board it has always appeared an anomaly and an injustice that a teacher in one part of the colony should be paid 5, 10, or even 15 per cent, less salary for his services than his not better qualified but more favourably situated comrade in another district for doing similar work. The new regulations, adopted in June, 1898, affecting the appointment of teachers have continued in operation, and with, the Board believes, very beneficial results to the cause of education generally. Under these regulations it is not only possible, but tolerably certain, that in all cases the best qualified and most deserving teachers will receive the promotion to which they and they alone are justly entitled, and which under the former mode of appointment they might not have obtained by reason of circumstances (local or otherwise) entirely outside their control. No more important function falls to the lot of Boards and Committees than that of selecting the best possible teacher for each position in the service ; and, while the Committees' rights and privileges are safeguarded, as they undoubtedly are, under the regulations now under comment, nothing but good can result from the institution of a system of making appointments on a definite and fixed

14— E. 1.

E.—l

96

basis equitable alike to both employers and employed. That the new regulations have gained the confidence of the very large majority of both Committees and teachers is, the Board believes, but a simple statement of fact. But few Committees have dissented from the Board's selection of a candidate, and in several instances, where sufficient cause was shown, the Board has acquiesced in the counter-recommendation made by them. On the contrary, the objections raised by several Committees to the Board's choice have been overruled, and it is safe to say that in most cases, if not in every case, where this prerogative has been exercised the best interests of both schools and teachers have been conserved. Sewing, Teaching of. —In this matter the Board has made by its regulations provision for the teaching of sewing to all girls attending schools with an average attendance of forty-five and upwards. It has during the past year had under consideration proposals for the extension of this arrangement to schools of a lower grade. The question of finance alone has prevented as yet anything definite being done. The Board feels that it is of the utmost moment that our girls should be thoroughly qualified to undertake this important domestic function, and will unquestionably take steps to give effect to some suitable scheme as soon as the state of its finance will permit. Swimming, Teaching op.—Having regard to the great importance of combining the physical with the mental training of the young, it is hoped that some financial assistance, either by way of vote or subsidy, will be given by the Government to Education Boards so that instruction in the natatorial art may be provided for pupils attending the public schools in towns or such other places where instruction is available. Swimming as a branch of physical education has hitherto been neglected in the colony, and, considering the fact that swimming is a highly useful accomplishment, and a gymnastic exercise of the first order, such neglect is a matter of much regret. The great importance of developing sound health and strong physique in the rising generation cannot be overestimated, and the exercise of swimming is admittedly a powerful factor for promoting such worthy objects. The Bomans regarded swimming as the best exercise to develop strength, courage, and beauty of body, and considered it indispensable to a complete education. They believed in the development of perfect symmetry in the human form; and no more effective means to this end than swimming exists. It might be pointed out, in passing, that in Sydney, according to the figures recently given by the New South Wales Minister of Public Instruction, there are in that colony a hundred boys' clubs and ninety girls' clubs, averaging over thirty members each, so that, roughly speaking, about fifteen thousand school-children are being taught swimming every week. Again, in Glasgow the pupils (boys and girls) of the Fifth and Sixth Standards in the public schools are required twice a week to attend swimming-lessons given in the public baths of that city. In Invercargill splendid baths have been established by the Corporation, and if some Government financial assistance were granted the Board would be able to make arrangements with the lessee for swimming-lessons being given to pupils attending the public schools. Pupil-teachees.—At the close of the year there were in the Board's employ fifty-two pupilteachers—thirteen boys and thirty-nine girls. The increase in the proportion of boys to girls now in the service has already been commented on. The annual examination was held, as usual, in the month of June. In all, twenty-eight candidates were present. As there were in the service at that date fifty-four pupil-teachers, just over one-half of the whole number sat for the examination. Of that number twenty-four passed and four failed. Of the members of this branch of the service not present at the examination, eight had been appointed during the preceding six months, and were consequently ineligible for examination ; five had passed either the D or B examination, and were thus exempt from attendance; twelve had already passed all their pupil-teacher examinations ; and one was, on account of sickness, excused. From the foregoing it will be seen that it has not been the practice of this Board to peremptorily terminate the engagement of its pupilteachers on the expiration of their apprenticeship, and this accounts in great measure for the fact that no great surplus of local unemployed teachers exists in this district. The finished pupilteacher is retained in his or her position, at the maximum salary, for a reasonable length of time, till more responsible and remunerative employment is found. This practice, of course, increases the cost of the pupil-teacher system, but as an offset the service rendered is necessarily more efficient. But for the adoption of this method of dealing with the question, it is quite safe to say that a much larger number of teachers would have been trained, with a consequent lack of employment to many deserving and altogether worthy young people. With reference to an experiment made in 1894, by which pupil-teachers who, before the date of their appointment, passed the matriculation or the D examination should at once rank as of the second class, while those who had passed the Junior Civil Service or E examination should be ranked as in the third class, the Inspectors say : " The experiment of 1894 has not been unsuccessful, but we feel sure that only pupil-teachers who have passed the D examination before the date of their appointment should receive any concession by way of curtailment of the period of apprenticeship —namely, three years' service instead of four. In all other cases the period should, we think, be four years, three years being too brief a time for any but the most promising in which to acquire that amount of practical skill necessary to one who undertakes the management of a school. Two additional though minor objections to the scheme of 1894 may be mentioned: it tends to render the pupil-teacher regulations somewhat complicated, and also to swell more speedily than is desirable the ranks of the first-class pupil-teachers who await promotion." To female pupil-teachers in schools with an average attendance of forty-five to seventy-five, a bonus at the rate of £5 per annum is allowed for imparting efficient instruction in sewing. A sum of £64 18s. Bd. was paid for this service at the close of the year. Bonus payments to teachers for the instruction of their pupil-teachers amounted to £157 155., a smaller sum than has previously been paid, owing to the large proportion of pupil-teachers who had either completed their apprenticeship or been exempted from the examination. *

Scholarships.—On the 16th December last and following days the annual examination for scholarships was held simultaneously at Invercargill, Gore, Eiverton, and Queenstown. Sixtynine candidates presented themselves, forty-one from the country, and twenty-eight from the town. The Inspectors report that in most respects the work done was of a highly satisfactory quality, the papers neatly and methodically written, and that the candidates performed their task in a hearty and absolutely independent manner. School Committees.—ln the administration of the educational affairs of the district the School Committees continue to manifest an active and intelligent interest. To this fact may be attributed the almost entire absence of friction which has in the past characterized the relations subsisting between the Board and the School Committees and teachers of the district. The interests of the School Committees and the districts which they severally represent; receive at all times the most careful attention of the Board, and no serious differences of opinion as to their relative duties and responsibilities have arisen during the year. The Board has not, it is true, been able to satisfy every demand, but has ever striven to act justly and impartially, and, so far as the funds at its disposal would permit, to recognise just claims for expenditure in the several school districts under its jurisdiction. The increased allowances to School Committees, which were paid as from January last, have resulted in an extra expenditure in this item alone of £336 for the year. Inspection.—lt is almost unnecessary in this report to refer in detail to the matter of the inspection and examination of the schools of the district. The report of the Inspectors deals with the subject in a comprehensive manner, and indicates by statistics and otherwise how the cause of education is progressing. Following the practice of past years, the Inspectors' reports are read at each monthly meeting; and, judging by the general tone of these documents, the Board has reason to feel satisfied with the progress made during the year. Truancy.—ln this connection there is but little of fresh interest to report. It is extremely difficult to estimate with any degree of exactness the actual results achieved by the employment of a Truant Officer. That his services in securing a more regular attendance of many pupils has been beneficial the Board is fully convinced; and, were the provisions of the School Attendance Act somewhat more stringent in the matter of fine-impositions, as well as in other directions, still better results would without doubt be achieved. Technical Classes.—The Board has to report the continuance of the technical classes for teachers and pupils of the public schools, and has to state that a considerable falling-off has taken place in the numbers attending both classes, the mean average attendance being as follows: Teachers, 3; scholars, 11: these numbers being approximately only one-half the totals for the preceding year. The Board adopted a resolution expressing its regret that the classes were not more fully taken advantage of by both teachers and pupils, especially the former. The instructor reports that the students attended most regularly, and made considerable advance in their work. At the beginning of the session—in the month of May last —the examination under the City and Guilds of London Institute was held, at which two second-year students—viz., Thomas E. Gazzard, of Eimu, and Henry P. Young, of Orepuki—secured passes, the former with first-class and the latter with second-class honours. By virtue of their success these teachers can now establish classes in connection with their respective schools, and claim the department's capitation grant in respect of pupils instructed. Building Opeeations.—During the year just ended the expenditure on buildings has been unusually heavy. This has been caused in part by the payment for works undertaken in newly settled districts, a special grant for which had been received but not fully spent during the preceding year. But for the receipt of the special grant referred to it would have been quite impossible for the Board to provide for the educational needs of the isolated settlers in the back country. The demand for new buildings—schools and residences—repairs, alterations, and improvements to buildings, has been as great as ever, and to make provision for such works without in any sensible degree curtailing the Board's usefulness in other directions is a problem which persistently obtrudes itself. The Board has during the year carried out the following important works : (1) The erection of a new school at Otatara Bush; (2) the erection of new residences at Merrivale, Aparima, Hokonui, and (nearly new) at Winton; (3) an addition to the school at Aparima; (4) additions to the teachers' residences at Eiverton, Eyal Bush, Longridge Village, and Niagara; and (5) the removal of the school buildings at Waianiwa, Mokoreta, and Waipounamu to more convenient sites. In addition to the foregoing work tenders have been accepted for the erection of new schools in the newly settled districts of Otapiri and Papatotara ; the removal of the school building and teacher's residence at Oteramika Gorge; the erection of a new residence atKoromiko; an addition to the Park School, Invercargill; an addition to the teacher's residence at North Invercargill; and the erection of a new school and residence at Euapuke Island, the last mentioned work being carried out on behalf of the Education Department. These works, and others of minor importance, were carried out at an expenditure of £4,821 17s. 3d. Finance and Accounts.—The Board's annual statement of income and expenditure, duly certified by the Auditor-General, is appended. This statement shows the Board's income and expenditure (exclusive of credit balances at the commencement and end of the year) to have been £34,990 155."7 d. and £36,826 19s. lid. respectively. It will be seen, therefore, that the Board's actual disbursements have exceeded its receipts for the year by a sum of £1,836 4s. 4d., and a perusal of the balance-sheet will show that this deficiency is almost equally divided between the Maintenance and Building Accounts. The extra expenditure on account of maintenance is chiefly incurred in the items "Teachers' salaries" and" School Committees' allowances," the former absorbing a sum of £247 and the latter a sum of £386 in excess of last year's payments, while the receipts from capitation grants have decreased by £130. With reference to the extra charges against the Building Account, it is noted that in the purchase of school sites £519 18s. 2d. was expended ;

this sum is about £425 in excess of the average expenditure in this connection for the past four or five years. The balance of extra charges is made up of payments for works in newly settled districts, out of special vote received during the preceding year. The statement of assets and liabilities indicates that against the balance of £2,587 standing to credit of the Maintenance Account there exist actual liabilities to the amount of £709, while against the Building Account there are liabilities to the amount of £1,318. The sum of these two amounts {i.e., the debit balance against the Building Account and the liabilities in respect of buildings) will absorb three-fourths of the prospective grant for building operations during the now current year. With a decreasing capitation grant, brought about by a decrease in the average attendance, already referred to, it will be quite impossible to continue the present rate of expenditure for any length of time without serious consequences to the Board's financial position, unless, as is confidently hoped, the Government will restore the capitation grant previously paid to Boards. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Neill, Secretary.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONEES' EEPOETS.

AUCKLAND. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 28th May, 1900. I have the honour to forward herewith the statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year 1899. There is nothing calling for special report in the administration of reserves during the year. The reserves let (including renewals of expired leases) comprise eighteen sections of town and suburban lands, and twenty-nine blocks of country lands, yielding a net increase of revenue of £230 and £102 14s. 4d. respectively. The Commissioners desire to mention that a considerable sum of money was paid in the month of October last as compensation for buildings on a secondary school endowment at Gisborne, on the termination of a twenty-one-years' lease; a sum sufficient to absorb all the rents usually applicable yearly to the purposes of the Gisborne High School. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister for Education, Wellington. E. Udy, Chairman.

TAEANAKI. Sic, — School Commissioners' Office, New Plymouth, 16th March, 1900. 1 have the honour to hand you herewith statement of accounts and balance-sheet of the School Commissioners for the District of Taranaki in respect of the year ended the 31st December last. The past year has been a somewhat eventful one in the history of the Board, a number of changes having taken place in its membership. In March our venerable Chairman, Major Parris, finding the weight of years necessitated less devotion to public matters, resigned the seat which he had so long and honourably held upon the Board. He was succeeded in the chair by Mr. Eobert George Bauchope, another old and respected member, who had only held the position some two months when his sudden death again created a vacancy. In April Mr. P. P. Corkill, who had for many years been one of the Government nominee members, sent in his resignation, and was appointed Secretary and Treasurer to the Board. The present Commissioners are Messrs. E. Cock (Chairman), C. K. Stock, Strauchon (Commissioner of Crown Lands), James Wade, and Henry Faull, the last two gentlemen being the representatives of the Taranaki Education Board, and the others appointed by the Government. During the twelve months an average amount of business has been transacted by the Board, although, owing to the remoteness of recently vested reserves, there has not been a very active demand for the unimproved bush-land which has been put on the market for lease. The total revenue of £3,768 6s. sd. includes about £700 outstanding at the 31st December, 1898, the ordinary income of the Commissioners amounting to some £3,000. Early in the year the arrangement by which the secretarial duties of the Commissioners, the Education Board, and the High School Board were all performed by the same officer was found to have become unworkable, and separate appointments were made by each of these bodies. The business of this Board is now conducted at the offices of the Secretary, where better accommodation and the use of a good strong-room are provided. It will be noticed that the rents outstanding have been brought within reasonable compass, a great portion of the £519 owing at the 31st December last having fallen due within that month, and of these rents a good many are payable in advance. I have to acknowledge the very regular attendance of my colleagues on the Board, and the interest displayed in all matters coming up for consideration. I have, &c, The Minister for Education, Wellington. E. Cock, Chairman.

During the year sales of leases were held at Wanganui, Marton, Palmerston North, Pahiatua, and Carterton, and 9,916 acres 3 roods 4 perches were let to forty-six tenants at an annual rental of £281 os. 3d. A large portion of this is rabbit-infested country, and the Commissioners are therefore relieved of an annual expenditure in poisoning. Several of the sections now let have been lying open for selection for a considerable time at a merely nominal rental, the land being of little value except to adjoining holders, and this chiefly to save fencing. The Commissioners have much pleasure in drawing your attention to the smallness of the amount of rents in arrear, and trust that it may be an indication of the prosperity of the district and the welfare of their tenants. I have, &c, J. E. Blair, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister for Education, Wellington.

CANTEBBUBY. Sir, — Government Buildings, Christchurch, 4th January, 1900. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1899, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1899, was 68,047} acres, producing an annual rental of £16,487 3s. 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, 1899 (and is only available for the purchase of land), has been renewed for one year. Six reserves were leased during the year. Of these two of moderate area were renewed by arbitration, and the remainder were let by tender after the subdivision of the only large one of 494-§ acres into two lots. The School Commissioners granted to the South Canterbury Education Board a school-site of 3 acres 1 rood 27 perches out of Part B of Lot 1 of Beserve 939, the appropriation of which was notified in the New Zealand Gazette No. 98, of the 23rd November, 1899. I have, &c, Sidney Weetman, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sir,— Dunedin, 14th June, 1900. In compliance with Order in Council of 17th December, 1878, and in obedience to circular from the Education Department, dated 7th December last, I have now the honour to forward herewith report of the School Commissioners for the Provincial District of Otago for the year ended 31st December, 1899. During the year the Commissioners held sixteen meetings, which, with two exceptions, were attended by the whole of the members, and, as the number of tenants on the Commissioners' rentroll is now 885, a very large amount of routine business devolves upon the Commissioners, who spend a considerable portion of their time in the management of the endowments, and are thereby enabled to bring their practical knowledge to bear thereon. In addition to the management of the endowments, the Commissioners have the sum of £26,914 ss. Id. invested on mortgage over freehold securities, the number of mortgages being 32. The Commissioners have made it a rule only to lend money on rural land that could be added to the endowment and worked profitably in the event of the security falling into their hands under power of mortgage. They also make it a practice to satisfy themselves personally as to the value and desirableness of a security before accepting it. In addition to this, they obtain a report and recommendation from an outside valuer, as required by the Trustees Act. In the course of the year the Commissioners leased four holdings for pastoral purposes and fifteen sections for agricultural purposes. The area of the pastoral land was 104,140 acres, leased to four tenants at an annual rental of £565 Is. 9d. The area of the agricultural land was 2,262 acres, leased to fifteen tenants at £420 ss. 10d., or 3s. Bfd. per acre. During the year the sum of £6,924 6s. 4d. was received in repayment of loans, and £5,220 was advanced on mortgage at 4f per cent, interest. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears of rent on 31st December, 1899, the sum of £4,148 Bs. has since been collected, and the rest is coming in fairly well. As explained in former reports, the rents are all payable half-yearly in advance, and of those which do not become due in advance until the end of the year a great number are not paid until after harvest. In explanation of the amount of £1,797 os. 3d., shown under the head of expenditure in the statement of accounts, I beg to say that £344 6s. 4d. appears on the other side of the account as received from incoming tenants; £16 ss. 6d. was received for the preparation of leases by the Commissioner's office staff; £10 16s. was recovered from tenants for county rates; £9 19s. 6d. was deposited by tenants on account of valuation expenses, &c. ; £37 10s. was received for office-accom-modation ; £191 13s. Bd. was expended on river protection, drainage, and road-making ; while £127 14s. 2d. was returned to the Government in the shape of train-fares, stamps, telegrams, &c. (£53 19s. 9d. being train-fares of country Commissioners in connection with their attendance at meetings in Dunedin). By deducting the foregoing figures it will be seen that the actual cost of management was £1,058 15s. Id., or about 4-J per cent on the money collected during the year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. J. P. Maitland, Chairman.

CIECULABS TO EDUCATION BOAEDS. Model Eiflbs. Education Department, Wellington, 15th January, 1900. The following are the rules under which model rifles will be issued on loan to Education Boards for use in public schools : — 1. To qualify for a loan of model rifles an Education Board must make regulations approved by the Minister, providing, inter alia, — (a.) That each cadet company shall have a minimum strength of thirty-five of all ranks, classified approximately as follows : 1 captain, 2 lieutenants, 1 colour-sergeant, 3 sergeants, 1 bugler, 27 cadets ; officers to be appointed on the recommendation of the headmaster. (b.) That as -a rule no boy shall be enrolled in a cadet company who is under the age of twelve; but that in exceptional cases younger boys may be enrolled provided that they are not under 4 ft. 7-Jin. in height, and are otherwise physically fit. (c.) That, subject to the supply being adequate, a model rifle will be issued to each cadet in a regularly formed company on the headmaster's undertaking to provide for its proper care and custody, and for the payment of 4s. for its replacement if it should be broken or damaged otherwise than by fair usage. (d.) That every worn-out rifle shall be returned to the Board's office. (<?.) That cadets shall not take their rifles from the precincts of their schools except for an authorised parade or manoeuvre. (/.) That the rifles shall always be kept clean, dry, and in good order; and that after use they are to be cleaned and placed safely in racks provided for them. (g.) That companies shall be drilled not less than half an hour twice a week, or forty-five minutes once a week ; and that physical and company drill shall form part of their work. (h.) That the drill-book used shall be "The Drill-book; By Authority," or other recognised manual on the subject. 2. At the beginning of each year the Board shall send to the department a copy of its regulations for the organization and control of public-school cadet companies, a statement of the number and strength of the cadet companies in the district, and a statement of the number of model rifles in stock in good order and condition. 3. Eifles that become worn out are to be returned to the department, and if they appear to have received fair usage may be replaced by new ones. 4. The department will not undertake at present to supply model rifles except to cadet companies actually formed under regulations made hereunder. 5. The department reserves the right to ask at any time for the return of model rifles supplied on loan to any Board, if it should see reason for doing so. Geokge Hogben, Secretary for Education, The Secretary to the Education Board,

School-books. Education Department, Wellington, 4th July, 1899. The question of uniformity of school-books has been brought under the attention of the Minister of Education. The Minister deems it unlikely that the want of uniformity in school books would often create serious inconvenience through removal of children from one education district to another ; on the other hand, he thinks that hardship might frequently be caused thereby through the removal of pupils from one school to another within the same education district; and he wishes to point out that this matter would be set right if every Education Board would see that the chief books, especially the Readers, were the same in all schools under its jurisdiction. Under the regulations just issued the number of series of Readers authorised has been reduced from ten to six, but the Minister considers that there is still ample choice to enable Boards to suit the wants of their respective districts; and he desires me to call the attention of the Boards to the obligation imposed by the regulations of confining their choice of books to those contained in the list of authorised school-books. I might suggest that the hardship that sometimes ensues when pupils are moved from one education district to another would largely disappear if Boards would adopt some such plan as that of buying from pupils second-hand books in good condition, the books so bought being either sold again or kept to be used as supplementary Eeaders when the Eeaders in use were changed. Geokge Hogben, Secretary for Education. The Secretary to the Education Board.
