1901. NEW- ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Loed, — Wellington, 22nd August, 1901. 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, 1900. I have, &c, W. C. WALKER. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Ranfurly, Governor of New Zealand.

In this report and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Report (E.-1a) on the certificate examinations, the Reports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), and in the Report of Proceedings of the Conference of Inspectors of Schools (E.-lc), is contained all the information that is of public interest with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1877," and " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," and also all the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully treated of in separate papers, as follows: E.-2, Native Schools; E.-3, Industrial Schools; E.-3a, Costley Training Institution; E.-4, School for Deaf-mutes; E.-5, Manual and. Technical Instruction; E.-6, New Zealand University; E.-7, University of Otago ; E.-8, Canterbury College; E.-9, Auckland University College; E.-10, Victoria College; E.-11, Canterbury Agricultural College; E.-12, Secondary Schools; E.-13, Public Libraries. Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the subject of a Colonial Scale of Staff and Salaries of Public School Teachers is numbered E.-14. Pupils in Public Schools. There have been since 1893 two methods of calculating the average attendance at any given school. To find the one, called the " strict average," account has been taken of all the half-days on which the school has been open ; the other, the "working average," has been found by omitting from the calculation all those half-days on which less than half the number on the roll are present. For the last eight years the capitation grants have been paid to Education Boards on the working average, the Order in Council authorising such payment having been renewed from time to time. It has now been finally decided to i—E. 1.

adopt the working average as the basis of payments to Boards and of all tables and returns; the working average, in fact, becomes henceforth the only average recognised, and the strict average disappears. In many of the tables of the present report both are given, in order to preserve continuity, and to enable a comparison to be made with the returns of previous years, in which the strict average was for the most part the one that was used. The working average for 1900 was 111,748, an increase of 1,432 on that of 1899, which was 110,316. In 1898" the average was 111,636, and in 1897, 112,828.

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1900.

The average of the weekly roll-numbers throughout the year shows a further falling off from that of 1899, which was less than the year before, the figures being 132,897 for 1900, as against 133,540 for 1899, a decrease of 643. If we attempt to discover the reason for this falling off in the roll-number by an examination of the roll-numbers at the end of the year (see Table C), we find that it is not due to any diminution in the number of young children entering the schools, inasmuch as the number of children under nine years of age was 235 more at the end of 1900 than in December, 1899. On the other hand, the ■number of children over fourteen years of age was 407 less than in the previous year, a fact that seems to show that a slightly greater number obtained employment as soon as the labour age was reached. It is not so easy to explain the falling off of 419 in the number of children on the roll between the ages of nine and fourteen. It might, for instance, be due to an increase in the number of those who unfortunately escape going to school altogether, or to an increase in the number on the rolls of private schools. In any case, the decrease is not such as in a single year need cause alarm. It is, however, refreshing to note that the average attendance for the whole year is greater than in any previous year except 1897. Expressed as a percentage of the average weekly rollnumber, it gives 84* 1 per cent, as representing the regularity of attendance during the year. This is higher than the corresponding percentage for any previous year. In 1897 the average attendance reached 88-9 per cent, of the roll, but in 1899 it fell to 82 - 6 per cent. Table A shows the attendance for the twenty-three years that have elapsed since the passing of the Education Act.

TABLE B. —School Attendance for 1900.

Taking the several education districts of the colony, an examination of Table B will show that there has been an increase in the average attendance at the schools in 1900 as compared with 1899 in all the districts of the North Island, and in Grey and South Canterbury in the South Island. In all the other districts of the South Island there has been a decrease. The position is shown in tabular form below (Table Bl). The increase in the working average for the North Island is 1,806, and the decrease for the South Island is 375, the net increase for the whole colony being thus 1,431. The greatest increase (956) is shown in Auckland, which is more than one-half the gross increase for the colony, the next being Wanganui, with an increase of 342.

TABLE B1.—Comparison of School Attendance, 1899-1900, North Island and South Island.

In regularity of attendance there has been an improvement in every district of the colony except Nelson, which remains the same as in 1899, and Marlborough and Southland, which show a slight falling-off. In Grey and Westland the high figures which were attained in 1899 —39 per cent, and 86 - 8 per cent, of the average roll-number respectively—have increased to 89 - l and 87 - 5. Otago, with an attendance of 86-9 per cent, of the number on the roll, stands at the head of the larger education districts.

The number of Maoris and half-castes attending the public schools is shown in the following table : —

TABLE B2.—Maoris and Half-castes attending Public Schools, December, 1900.

It will be seen that the total number of Maori and half-caste children attending public schools remains practically the same; but, whilst in 1899 there was a considerable increase in the number of Maoris and a falling-off in the number of half-castes living as Europeans, as compared with the year before, in the year 1900 there was an increase of 126 in the number of half-castes living as Europeans, and a falling-off of 125 in the number of Maoris. The apparent difference in the numbers may be due merely to a different method of classification. The proportion of boys to girls remains the same as in 1899 —51-9 per cent, to 481 per cent. The number of children below the age of ten is to the number above that age as 52-1 to 47 - 9. This statement expresses in another form the facts already commented upon in the remarks that follow Table A.

TABLE C. —Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1900.

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; the proportion in Standard classes V. and VI. has also increased; the other classes present a slight decrease. The percentages of pupils in the Standard classes I. to VI. for the years 1899 and 1900 were respectively 70-84 and 69-97. Table D might be expected to afford some evidence as to the effects of the new syllabus that came into force on the Ist January, 1900, upon the passing of children in the various Standards. The task of examining for passes in Standards 111. to V. was in general transferred from the Inspectors to the head teachers, who had already since 1894 had the duty of passing children in Standards I. and 11. placed in their hands.

it is evident that in different districts different views were taken as to the expediency of making the .proposed change in one year, and in some districts the work of examining children for passes in Standards 111. to V. seems to have been still largely performed by the Inspectors. In the majority of cases,, however, the directions of the syllabus appear to have been followed in the spirit, if not in the letter. The promotion of the children from class to class was left without any limitation in the hands of the teachers, and did not necessarily follow the results of the standard pass examinations, whether these were conducted by the Inspectors or by the head teachers. Further, the number of pass-subjects was reduced, and there was some modification of the conditions for securing a pass.

TABLE D. —Classification by Standards, December, 1900.

It will be interesting to consider Table D, which gives the actual classification at the end of the year, with Table E, which shows the passes in standards. For the whole colony, of those present at examination, there passed in Standard 1., 93 - 3 per cent.; in Standard 11., 90-4 per cent.; in Standard 111., β-i , 7 per cent.; in Standard IV., 84■ r3 per cent. ; in Standard V., 81 - 7 per cent.; and in Standard VI., 76 per cent. The corresponding figures for 1899 were 96-4, 93-4, 811, 77.'0, 75-5, and 80-3. It will thus be seen that the percentage of passes in Standards I. and 11., which in both years were examined by the head teachers, is less for 1900 than for 1899 ; and that the percentage of passes in eacli of the Standards 111., IV., V., which were examined by the head teachers for the first time last year, was greater than in the preceding year, the difference being most marked in Standards IV. and V. It is difficult to say how far the higher percentage of passes in these Standards may be set down to the willingness of teachers to pass children more easily than the Inspectors have been accustomed to pass them, and how far it is due to the easier conditions on which a pass may be secured. Probably the. latter is the predominant cause, for the reports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b) do not appear to reveal any general desire on the part of head teachers to exercise greater leniency in this respect. For Standard VI., a pass for which secures a "certificate of proficiency," the Inspectors were in both years the examiners, and the lower percentage gained seems to indicate a somewhat greater stringency in the conditions for securing a pass.

From Table E the percentage of passes in the several Standards for the different districts may be calculated. Of the total number on the rolls of the schools on the day of examination 5561 per cent, passed the various standards; of the number actually examined in the Standard classes the failures formed 14 - 1 per cent. For the year 1899 the corresponding figures were 54*66 and 15 - 58. Those passing Standard I. formed 104 per cent, of the roll-number; 11., 109 per cent.; 111., IT3 per cent.; IV., 10-4 per cent.; V., 7 - 8 per cent.; and VI., 4 - 8 per cent. Table F shows the percentage of passes of those examined in the Standard classes, and gives other examination statistics, for the several education districts of the colony.

TABLE F.—Examination Statistics for 1900.

Table G gives the average ages at which children passed the various standards. The lowest average age at which Standard I. was passed was eight years and six months, in the Marlborough and North and South Canterbury Districts. Standard V., the " standard of exemption," was passed at the average age of twelve years and nine months in South Canterbury, and of thirteen years and seven months in Taranaki, these two being the lowest and highest average ages respectively.

Public Schools and Teachers. The number of schools open at the end of 1900 was 1,674, or 29 more than were open in December, 1899. The total average attendance for the fourth quarter of 1900 was 111,498, against 109,050 in the corresponding quarter of 1899. The mean average attendance per school, therefore, rose from 66"3 to 66-6.

In the next table the average attendance in each education district is shown in detail by a statement of the aggregate attendance at each group of schools under the classification in Table J.

TABLE J1.—Average Attendance for December Quarter, 1900, at the Schools as grouped in Table J.

In December, 1900, there were employed in the public schools of the colony 3,586 teachers, exclusive of sewing mistresses; of these, 2,631 were adults and 955 pupil-teachers : the corresponding numbers for December, 1899, were 2,592 adults and 1,022 pupil-teachers, so that there is an improvement in the staffing to a slight extent. Of the adult teachers at the end of 1900, 1,216 were men and 1,415 were women; of the pupil-teachers, 206 were male and 749 female. The number of adult male teachers was 4 less, and of adult female teachers was 43 more than in December, 1899; and the number of male pupil-teachers was 24 less, and of females 43 less than at that period. There were, however, vacancies in the case of 8 adults and 11 pupil-teachers; adding these to the number actually employed we get 30-9 as the average number of children in attendance to one teacher in the last quarter of 1900.

The proportion of pupil-teachers to adults employed at the end of 1900 was Ito 2 - 76, or, roughly, four apprentices to eleven adult teachers. The proportion, as in other years, varies considerably in the various education districts. The weakest in adults in proportion to pupil-teachers are Hawke's Bay and Wanganui, where the pupil-teachers are to the adults as 1 to 1-5, Wellington being slightly better with 1 to I - 9. Omitting the districts where small schools not having pupil-teachers are numerous, the strongest in adult teachers are —■ South Canterbury, 1 pupil-teacher to 5 adults ; Otago, Ito 4 - 95 ; and Southland, 1 to 4-4. The last column but one of Table X shows the number of pupils per teacher for all schools, but a fairer comparison of the numerical strength of the staffing in the various education districts may be made by excluding from the calculation the schools that are staffed without pupil-teachers. In some districts the assistance of a pupil-teacher is given when the average attendance reaches 35; but, inasmuch as in a few instances pupil-teachers are found with an average slightly less than 35, we may take for this purpose all schools with more than 30 pupils. Table Xl affords such a comparison, two pupil-teachers being counted as one adult in the calculation of the last column.

TABLE K1.—Showing Number of Pupils per Adult Teacher, reckoning Two Pupil-teachers as One Adult, in Schools with average Attendance of over 30.

The total of all salaries at the rates paid at the end of the year was £356,875 ss. 7d. This includes the salaries of pupil-teachers and sewingmistresses, as well as all salaries, house-rent, and other allowances paid to adult teachers : the average salary per teacher (including those named) was therefore £94 19s. 7d., which is £1 4s. 2d. more than the corresponding amount in December, 1899.

If we excluded the salaries of sewing-mistresses and pupil-teachers, and house-allowances paid to teachers where residences are not provided, the average salary paid to adult teachers would appear as £120 4s. 3d. Of the total number of 2,631 adult teachers (exclusive of sewing-mistresses) employed in the public schools, 2,369 were holders of certificates, 15 others had passed the certificate examination, 68 had gained a partial pass, 35 had failed, and 144 had never been examined by'the Department.

TABLE M.—Teachers, Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1900. (Numbers in brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

Colonial Scale op Staffs and Salaeibs. Questions connected with the staffing of schools and the salaries of teachers have for some time engaged the attention of the officers of the Department. By section 35 of " The Education Act, 1877," Boards of Education have the power, inter alia, of removing and appointing teachers in the manner provided by the Act, and of administering the funds granted to them in accordance with statute. In the absence of any colonial scheme of staffs and salaries, this power has imposed upon each Board the duty of drawing up a scale of staff and of teachers' salaries for its own district. The main portion of the income of the several Boards consists of the capitation grant of £3 J ss. on the average attendance, to which may be added the special grant in aid of the cost of the inspection of schools—viz., .£4,000 —which is distributed annually. Out of this amount are payable all teachers' salaries and allowances, and the general expenses of Education Boards and of School Committees. The effect of the distribution of the money upon a capitation basis has been to place those Boards in whose districts small schools are numerous in a very different financial position from that of the Boards having the control of a fair proportion of large schools; and this has had the further consequence of producing in many districts a weakness of the teaching staff, or a low standard of salaries, or both —evils that, had circumstances allowed, the Boards in question would have been only too glad to avoid. Further, the different methods adopted for the solution of the problem have led to many anomalies in staffing and to inequalities in the salaries assigned to various positions in different parts of the colony. Some of these anomalies and inequalities were the subject of remark in last year's report. These matters concern the efficiency of the schools themselves, it may be indirectly, but none the less vitally; and the whole question in this aspect assumed an importance that made it necessary to give it the most serious consideration. The issues, however, were so numerous and so involved that it seemed best to appoint a Commission to consider the best method of establishing a uniform scale of staff and salaries to be in force throughout the colony.

A Commission was accordingly appointed in April of the present year (1901), and evidence was taken in every education district of the colony. The report of that Commission forms one of the separate papers attached to this report (E.-14). Pending a final solution of the problem, Parliament voted a sum of money to be distributed in " increases to teachers' salaries by direction of the Minister of Education," in accordance with the provisions of " The Teachers' Salaries Act, 1900 "-—that is, after consultation with the Boards of Education. The amount of this temporary grant was nearly equivalent to a capitation of ss. per annum on the average attendance in all the public schools of the colony; and, as a basis for the proposals for its distribution, a suggested colonial scale of staff and salaries, drawn up in December last by the Inspector-General of Schools, was taken. These proposals, modified to a certain extent, in accordance with the suggestions of the Education Boards, to meet the different conditions at present existing in the various districts, have been accepted by all the Boards except one; and the amounts of the increases thus agreed upon have accordingly been paid over quarter by quarter in twelve out of the thirteen districts. The Department is still in correspondence with the Board of the remaining district, and a satisfactory agreement as to the basis of distribution is shortly expected. Finances op Education Boards. Table N is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Boards of Education for the year 1900. These are given in full on pages 4-5 of the Appendix, which also contains (pages 63-98) the annual reports of the several Boards. TABLE N.—Abstbact of Receipts and Expenditure of Boards. Dr. £ s. d.

The amounts payable thereunder to the several Boards are, however, included in the assets of the Boards shown in Table O. In Tables O and P is shown the financial position of the Boards on the 31st December, 1900. In Table P there are included among both the assets and the liabilities the payments made to Education Boards in the December quarter by the School Commissioners out of the proceeds from educational reserves, which, if counted among the cash assets, should also be set down on the other side as amounts due to the Government. The origin of the present position in regard to these- amounts cannot be clearly understood without going back to the date from which the accounts of the Education Boards may be said to start. After the passing of "The Education Act, 1b77," all the accounts of the Boards were adjusted as up to the 30th June, 1878. For the September quarter of that year the full amount of the capitation grant was paid to the Boards, the amounts received by the Boards from the School Commissioners during that quarter not being deducted. In every subsequent quarter there has been deducted from the capitation grant to each Board the amount received from the Commissioners in the preceding quarter. Generally speaking, then, a Board will, at the end of any quarter, have received a sum from the School Commissioners which has not yet, in accordance with the statute, been deducted from the capitation grant, and is therefore a liability to the Government. Strictly, if the Boards include such sums in their money assets, they should show corresponding liabilities. The practice in the past seems, however, to have varied with different Boards. Some

E.—l

XII

Boards have uniformly shown such amounts among their liabilities; some other Boards appear to have overlooked them, or, at all events, to have regularly excluded them from the list of their liabilities. The amounts shown among the liabilities in the column headed "Due to Government" are all of this character. In cases where the amounts derived from primary reserves on account of the December quarter did not appear in the cash balances no corresponding liabilities would arise. From the assets of the General Account have been excluded certain sums stated to be due from the Building Account to the General Account, as, although it is not illegal to use the general funds of the Boards for buildings, yet moneys appropriated for buildings cannot be devoted to any other purpose. It is believed that the statement of the accounts thus modified and exhibited in Tables O and P represents accurately the financial position of the several Boards. On the General Account the net deficit of all the Boards is £6,983 17s. 7d., which is less by about £1 ,400 than the deficit at the end of the year 1899. The largest deficits are shown by Wellington, £4,391 9s. Bd. ; Otago, £2,308 17s. 2d.; North Canterbury, £2,222 os. lid. ; Wanganui, £973 12s. 9d. Two other Boards also show deficits. Auckland has changed a deficit of £1,033 Is. lid. into a credit balance of £1,358 2s. Id. ; six other Boards show credit balances. On the whole, eight out of the thirteen Boards have improved their position on the General Account during the year. The Wellington Board has, however, gone back £1,230 Bs. 9d. during the year. The improvement that has taken place in the majority of districts appears to be due principally to improvement of average attendance and to reductions in salaries. On the two accounts together—Building and General—there appears to have been an improvement for all Boards of £3,439 3s. lid.

School Buildings. The ordinary votes for school buildings were formerly divided among the several Boards according to population, but for the last two years the money has been distributed on the basis of the average attendance in the several education districts, with adjustments according to (1) the number of schools, and (2) the increase of population in each district. The money received by the Boards out of the ordinary votes —£45,000 in. all —is devoted (a) to the maintenance and repair of existing buildings and furniture, and (b) to the cost of new buildings and furniture, and of additions to existing buildings. The items named under (a) are recurrent, and with them may be classed the expenditure required for the rebuilding of worn-out schools; those under (b) may be looked upon as charges against capital, or what may be called " capital expenditure." The former would most fairly be met by the payment of amounts calculated upon a certain percentage of the value of the buildings to be maintained and replaced; the latter would vary according to the increase of population in any given district and to the number of districts in which the increase was such as to render new schools or extensions of existing schools necessary. In most of the education districts the total of the recurrent items (a) would be roughly proportional to the average school attendance or to the population. The charges (b), classed above as "capital expenditure," stand on an entirely different footing; they are, moreover, partly met now by grants out of the special vote for schools in newly settled districts. It is a question whether a distribution of the whole of the building-votes based upon the distinction drawn above would not be ajuster and more satisfactory method of distributing the moneys voted for these purposes than the system hitherto adopted, which probably, however, was as close an approximation to justice as could be devised so long as settlement was proceeding in all parts of the colony under similar or nearly similar conditions. The special vote for schools in newly settled districts, &c, has been distributed this year in a somewhat different mode from that followed in former years. Instead of waiting for all the claims from the different districts to be sent in before making a distribution of the total amount available, claims have been dealt with on their merits as they have been received. Boards have been asked also to supply fuller details in regard to the schools they propose to establish. One effect has been, apparently, that Boards do not now make applications for grants prospectively, but wait until the need for new schools is well defined, and the work of building can be immediately begun. Some of the applications under this head were not finally dealt with until after the close of the financial year, and since the 31st March further grants have been made amounting in all to £2,423. The distribution of the ordinary votes for school buildings was made as follows : Auckland, £9,500 ; Taranaki, £1,650; Wanganui, £3,925 ; Wellington, £5,200; Hawke's Bay, £2,600; Maryborough, £900; Nelson, £2,000; Grey, £775; Westland, £750 ; North Canterbury, £(3,000; South Canterbury, £1,800 ; Otago, £6,000; Southland, £3,400; balance to Native schools, £500 : total, £45,000. The following distribution was made of the special vote for schools in newly settled districts: Auckland, £1,426; Wanganui, £807; Hawke's Bay, £435 ; Marlborough, £174; North Canterbury, £301; Southland, £207 ; Native schools, £2,463 ; undistributed, £19,187 : total, £25,000. 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. Out of 1,571 schools 88 were being carried on in buildings not belonging to Boards, whilst in 1899 there were 77 out of 1,544. The number of schools without residences increased from 517 to 525. Allowing 10 square feet per child, 55 schools were overcrowded, even taking the average attendance, and not the number on the roll.

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

During the last few years a considerable amount of attention has been given in all parts of the civilised world to the physical conditions under which school-children work, and the general tendency of medical and school authorities is to demand greater care in providing for the healthiness of school buildings. Considerable difference of opinion among experts still exists, however, even in regard to such points as the amount of space necessary to secure a proper supply of pure air for each child in an ordinary class-room. The floor-space allotted per child varies in different English-speaking countries from 8 or 9 to 15 square feet, and the cubical space from 120 to 300 cubic feet. Some medical authorities who have written on such matters demand, indeed, as much as 400 or even 600 cubic feet per child. Considering that in most parts of New Zealand the windows of class-rooms may be kept open during most of the year, care being taken to guard against draughts, probably a reasonable standard to set up for new schools would be such as would allow not less than 12 square feet of floor-space per child, and from 200 to 300 feet of cubic space. There are, in the whole colony, 525 schools without residences, about twothirds of them being schools with twenty or more in average attendance. As in some districts no house-allowance is paid to teachers of such schools, it is obvious that their salaries, although nominally equal to, are in effect really less than those of teachers of similar schools with residences attached. SCHOLABSHIPS. Table X shows the number of Education Board scholarships held in December, 1900, with their tenure and annual value. The total expenditure of the Boards under this head amounted to £8,142 10s. 9d.; the total paid to the Boards for scholarship purposes by the Department was ,£8,076 15s. Bd.

In some districts holders of Education Board scholarships are received into the high schools without payment of fees; in other districts they have to pay high-school fees out of their scholarship money. Disteict High Schools. Kepresentations having been made to the Department that some of the Education Boards found a difficulty in carrying on the secondary work of the district high schools without intrenching upon the funds for primary education, a vote was taken in the last session of Parliament to provide the money for the additional staff required for the secondary work in such schools. In accordance with a circular issued to Education Boards on the Bth January, 1901, £30 per annum is granted to each district high school having not less than twelve pupils taking a full secondary course, together with a capitation of £2 per annum on each pupil. If the Board elects to charge no fees, an additional payment of £4 per pupil is made —that is, an amount of £6 per pupil in all is paid, in addition to the statutory capitation allowance of £3 15s. The two chief conditions attached to these grants are : (1) That all pupils on account of whom such grants are made shall have passed Standard VI., and (2) that they shall be taught in separate classes by properly qualified teachers. By this means free secondary education may be afforded, at a comparatively small cost to the colony, in all places where it is found possible to establish a district high school. It is proposed, in drawing up new regulations, to provide some degree of secondary education for the pupils of Standard VII. in places that are too small for the establishment of such schools. It does not seem desirable, generally speaking, to set up district high schools in towns that already have recognised secondary schools, as the overlapping that would be introduced would be unnecessary and expensive. The question is more fully discussed in the report of the Inspector-General on secondary schools and secondary education (E.-12). Training of Teachees. The vote for the training of teachers, increased last year from £600 to £1,000, was divided equally between the Normal Schools at Christchurch and Dunedin. In other districts, notably at Napier, attempts have been made to provide in some degree for the training of teachers ; but, taking the colony as a whole, the provision made for this important need seems to fall short of what is adequate. The Inspectors' conference, and the teachers of the colony, through the New Zealand Educational Institute, have alike asked for the establishment of training colleges or technical schools for teachers. To such colleges it would obviously be fair that candidates from all parts of the colony should be admitted on equal terms; and, further, if it be found too expensive to provide thus for the training of all teachers, supplementary means should be adopted, as suggested in last year's report, for giving a regular course of training to teachers not attending these colleges. Pending a final solution of the question, the need for training teachers in the handwork prescribed for "school classes" under "The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1900," has been met temporarily by grants to the Boards for this purpose, amounting in all to £1,875, out of the vote for manual and technical instruction, by grants of apparatus and material for teachers'classes, and by the concession of free railway passes to enable teachers to attend the instruction given thereat. Cadet Cobps. When last year's report was printed 1,011 model rifles had been distributed amongst the Education Boards and 100 to the industrial schools at Burnham and Caversham. There have been distributed since: Auckland, 1,350; Taranaki, 20 ; Wanganui, 385 ; Wellington, 304 ; Hawke's Bay, 307 ; Westland, 50. The industrial school at Nelson has received. 50, and the the Native school at Waimana 36. The total number distributed up to the present time is therefore 3,613 " The Defence Act Amendment Act, 1900," makes the following provision for cadet corps : —

E.—l

17. (1.) The Governor may from time to time make regulations for the formation, equipment, and training of cadet corps in connection with the public schools. (2.) The Governor may give the control of the aforesaid cadet corps to the Education Boards or the Education Department, in such manner and to such extent as he thinks fit. (3.) The Governor may also from time to time make regulations for the formation, equipment, and training of cadet corps for youths who are not connected with the public schools, such corps to be under the control of the Defence Department. Eegulations for the organization .and inspection of cadet corps in connection with public schools, and dealing with drill in schools generally, are being considered and will be issued shortly. Insteuction in Swimming. Out of a vote of ,£2OO taken in 1899 as a " grant to swimming associations for encouragement of swimming," the sum of £100 was intrusted to the Auckland branch of the association for the promotion of the subject in the public schools of the colony; and £300, voted in 1900 " for encouragement of swimming in schools," has been distributed to the Education Boards in proportion to the school-attendance of the several districts, to be used by the Boards in providing pupils of public schools with instruction in swimming, or giving them facilities or inducements for learning or practising the art. The Department has also obtained from Home, and distributed to Education Boards for the use of teachers, a supply of the Handbook of Instruction of the Life-saving Society of England ; and has applied for and intends to publish information respecting the methods of the London Schools Swimming Association, and other similar organizations. The regulations under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act now provide for this subject by allowing subsidy on school classes in swimming and life-saving methods. Railway Passes for Pupils of Public and Peivate Schools. The total amount paid under this head to the Eailway Department in 1900 was £8,333, of which £1,117 was for fares of children attending private schools. Inspection of Schools and Standards op Examination. The new regulations for the inspection and examination of schools, which were gazetted on the 16th December, 1899, and came into operation on the Ist January, 1900, seem to have fulfilled their purpose : that of forming a transition stage in the revision of the methods under which the public schools have been organized, inspected, and examined in the past. On the whole, it may be said that Inspectors and teachers have evidently combined to work them loyally in such a manner as to produce the best results in the several districts; and the friendly criticism to which they have been subjected appears to have evolved much clearer ideas as to the lines along which further reforms should move, and to have called forth a greater degree of unanimity in reference thereto than could have been expected on so debatable a subject. Inspectors of schools, head teachers, and other experts are now practically agreed that the next step in advance should be the abolition of the individual Standard pass, except in Standard VI., and that at the same time there should be a modification and a rearrangement of the syllabus of instruction in such a way as (1) to reduce the range of requirements in small schools, and (2) to facilitate the introduction or extension of hand and eye training and the more practical treatment of all the subjects in the school course. The freedom of classification granted to head teachers by the existing regulations seems in general to have been used with discretion—perhaps even in some cases with an amount of caution that probably owes its origin to the influence of the continuance of the Standard pass. At all events, the time appears to have come for further progress, and it is hoped that before long it may be possible to issue new regulations embodying the ideas expressed above,

CONFERENCE OP INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS. A conference of Inspectors of Schools was held in 1894, and the advantages accruing from such consultation in regard to matters of common interest were so obvious that it was intended thenceforth that conferences should be held at regular intervals. Various circumstances, however, intervened to prevent the idea from being carried out, and it was not found possible to convene another conference until January of the present year, when there were present all the Inspectors of Schools of the various Education Boards except one, whose absence was due to ill-health. The Inspectors of the Education Department were also invited to the conference, at which the Inspector-General of Schools presided. The principal subjects discussed were the regulations for the inspection and examination of public schools, the syllabus of instruction, training colleges for teachers, teachers' certificates and certificate examinations, the School Attendance Act, and higher instruction in primary schools and district high schools. Very full consideration was given to the first two subjects named, and the conclusions, arrived at with a great degree of unanimity, will be a very valuable assistance to the Department in framing new regulations. The establishment of training colleges for teachers in connection with the present university colleges was strongly recommended; and there was substantial agreement as to the necessity for making provision for the higher education of those who have passed Standard VI., although there was some difference of opinion as to the form that such instruction should take. The conference was unanimous in urging that the age of exemption from school attendance should be raised to fourteen, and various amendments in details of the School Attendance Act were suggested. Eesolutions were also passed in favour of the uniform staffing of the schools of the colony, the examination of private schools by public school Inspectors, the placing of the Inspectors under the authority of the central department, and in regard to several matters of minor importance. Finally, it was affirmed that, "to secure continuity of progress and solidarity of interest in matters educational, the Inspectors should meet in conference triennially." There is little doubt that much good resulted, not only from the discussions that took place in the meetings themselves, but also from the interchange of ideas in a less formal manner among those who, as experts, have to take a large share in directing the educational policy of the various education districts; and the recommendation that such conferences should be held at regular intervals of three years seems to be one that is worth adopting. The minutes of the proceedings of the conference appear in a special paper. School Commissioners.

The payments made to Education Boards out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1900 amounted to £41,258 os. 3d. 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 £3,930 16s. lid. Native Schools. The number of Maori village schools in operation at the end of 1900 was eighty-nine, one more than the number open in December, 1899. The number of children on the rolls of these schools as on the 31st December, 1900, was 3,109, or forty-four more than at the end of the previous year. The average weekly roll-number for 1900 was almost identical with that for 1899, the excess for the former year being less than two. Regularity of attendance declined from 77 - 95 per cent, in 1899 to 768 per cent, in 1900. In 1898 it was 79-5 per cent. The number of predominantly Maori children attending Maori village schools, as at the end of 1900, was 2,482, compared with 2,4.51 for 1899. The corresponding numbers for half-castes and children predominantly European were, for 1900, 280 and 347 respectively; for 1899 the numbers were 302 and 312 respectively. The principal change, then, in the matter of race is that the ratio of half-castes to Maoris has sensibly diminished, as has that of half-castes to Europeans. Of the new schools opened, two seem likely to be very successful. One of these is at Touwai, a few miles from Whangaroa, and the other is at Tapuaeharuru, at the head of Lake Rotoiti. Touwai provides school accommodation for an interesting settlement in the middle of a considerable gum district; Tapuaeharuru depends on the population scattered round those portions of Lake Rotoiti that are somewhat remote from Lake Rotorua. The other schools opened in 1900 are at Okoha, Pelorus Sound, an assisted school; at Paparore, near the Awanui, Mangonui, an experimental school; and at Tapuwae, near Motukaraka, Hokianga, a half-time school. At the beginning of the current year two schools

were opened, from which good results are expected—namely, at Te Haroto, on the Napier-Taupo Road, and at Oromahoe, near Pakaraka, Bay of Islands. Four schools have been closed: the Kokako school, near Waikaremoana, mainly through the rigorous climate, which makes it hard for Natives to secure sustenance for children living in that neighbourhood ; the Taiharuru school, through want of appreciation of their school by the Maoris; the Huria school, because the promises of the Maoris to maintain an attendance had not been kept. The Whakarapa school was closed temporarily, because the difficulties of the district had caused the Maoris to ask for a temporary cessation of their task of maintaining an attendance. There are still thirty-six applications for new schools on the list. Some of these appear to be good, and it is probable that when the rather numerous and often perplexing difficulties with regard to site and title have been overcome schools will be founded at the places referred to. It is not improbable that there will have to be some relaxation of the usual requirements in the case of districts in which estrangement between the two races has to a considerable extent been allowed to become chronic. Such cases are now happily very few; perhaps the most striking ones are to be found in the West Coast districts, to the north and the south of New Plymouth. The examination reports of the schools examined during the year 1900 show that 411 children passed Standard 1., 374 Standard 11., 218 Standard 111., 152 Standard IV., 52 Standard V., and 15 Standard VI. These numbers are higher than those of 1899, except in Standard 111., where the falling-off is twenty-four, and Standard VI., where it is two. The clear increase for the year 1900 is thirty-seven. The reports of the Inspectors are summarised in Mr. Pope's annual report, the intention being to give sufficient information with regard to each particular school to enable the reader to form an adequate idea of its general value and efficiency. It appears from these reports that, while there are many schools that deserve to be called good, very few are indifferent, or worse. There are also the usual reports on the visits paid to the Maori boarding-schools—Te Ante and St. Stephen's for boys, and St. Joseph's and Hukarere for girls; these reports contain much information of an interesting nature. There are reports, too, on the denominational schools at Putiki, Matata, and Waerenga-a-Hika, and on the results of the examination for the Te Makarini scholarships. The total number of pupils receiving higher education, or some kind of technical education, at the end of 1900 was seventy-nine. This number includes two medical students at Otago University, one hospital-nursing scholar at Napier Hospital, and four apprentices to trades. Although detailed treatment of the question of hand-and-eye and general technical training in Maori schools can only be glanced at here, seeing that most of the work done belongs properly to the current year, it will not be out of place to say that most of the proposals that were mere projects last year have been advanced more than one stage, while practical progress has been made with the works definitely sanctioned. At Kawhia the technical work that has been carried on for some years has been further developed, and a workshop has been erected. Building is going on at Rakaumanga, Rangitukia, and Whirinaki, and definite arrangements have been made for commencing carpentry work at other places. The workshops are intended principally for the purpose of giving instruction in woodwork to Maori youths who have left school, but will be available also for the older boys still attending the day-schools. Specific offers have been made to St. Stephen's and Te Aute; the former institution has decided to accept, but the authorities at Te Aute see obstacles. The task of organizing handwork has been definitely commenced at about one-half of the Maori village schools, and will be completed at the rest of these schools before the end of the year. Sixty-four of the eighty-four full-time schools in operation at the end of 1900 were under the charge of masters, and seventeen under the charge of mistresses; one was vacant, and two were subsidised schools only. The number of assistants was seventy, and of sewing-mistresses eight. The head teachers received salaries ranging from £61 to £280; the salaries of

XIX

E.—l

assistants, who in nearly every case 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, £13,206 9s. 9d. ; books and school requisites, £492 3s. 2d. ; repairs and small works, and tree-planting on sites, £475 ss. lid.; inspection, £960 19s. 10d. ; boarding-schools and scholarships, £1,846 18s. sd. ; buildings, fencing, furniture, &c, £2,748 3s. ;- technical instruction classes (including material for workshop), £111 14s. 6d.; sundries, £143 17s. 6d.: total, £19,985 12s. Id. Industrial Schools. The number on the books of the Government industrial schools at the close of the year 1900 was 1,163, or 55 more than in December, 1899; on the books of the private industrial schools there were 540, or 20 less than at the end of the previous year. The total number of " inmates "on the books of all the schools was therefore 1,703, an increase of 35 over the corresponding number for 1899. The number actually in residence was 598—namely, 231 at Government schools (including 7 at receiving-homes) and 367 at the private industrial schools (including lat a receiving-home). There were boarded out 402 from Government schools, and 7 from private schools, or 409 in all. There were 18 girls in various corrective institutions, 8 boys and girls in orphan homes, 2 boys at the Institution for the Blind, Auckland, and 1 at the School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner. The total number of inmates dependent on the schools for maintenance was therefore 1,036, being 3 more than the number at the end of 1899. The remaining 667 were not dependent on the schools for maintenance,, but were still subject to control and supervision. They may be classified as follows : Licensed to reside with friends, 138 ; at service, 472; in hospital, 2; in lunatic asylum, 3 ; in the Costley Training Institution, Auckland, on probation, 2 ; in other institutions without payment, 15 ; in gaol, 3; absent without leave, 32 (namely, 16 from service and 16 from the schools). The inmates on the books of the four Government industrial schools in existence at the end of 1900 were distributed as follows : Auckland, 94; Burnham, 562 ; Caversham, 494 ; Te Oranga, 13 : total, 1,163. Of those belonging to private industrial schools, there were on the books of St. Mary's, Auckland, 127; St. Joseph's, Wellington, 82; St. Mary's, Nelson, 307; St. Vincent de Paul's, Dunedin, 24 : total, 540.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1899 and 1900.

The changes referred to in last year's report have been advanced a further stage, so that gradually a greater degree of classification of industrial-school inmates is being introduced. It was then stated that all the girls had been removed from residence at Burnham. During the year that school has been established as a reformatory for boys, and accordingly all boarded-out inmates, both boys and girls, and all other girls belonging to it, have now (August,

1901) been taken off its books, most of them being transferred to the books of the Christchurch Receiving-home. Te Oranga Home, near Christchurch, has been opened as a reformatory for girls; a new dormitory has been added to it, and a new wing, to accommodate about 24 more girls, is to be erected immediately. The receiving-homes at Christchurch and Wellington have been proclaimed as industrial schools, and the official correspondents at those places have been appointed managers, qualified matrons under their direction having actual charge of the homes. A site with about 400 acres of good land has been secured at Horowhenua, near Levin, for a boys' industrial school, and it is hoped that part of the new premises will be ready for occupation in the beginning of 1902. Most of the industrial school boys proper (i.e., exclusive of those requiring a reformatory treatment) who are in residence are at present at Caversham; when the Horowhenua School is open these inmates will be taken thither. It is intended that the latter school shall consist of a set of cottage-homes, not of one large institution. By the courtesy of the Justice Department a circular has been issued to Stipendiary Magistrates explaining the purposes of the various institutions. Although the leading idea in both classes of institutions (reformatories, and industrial schools proper) is predominantly educative, yet it must be borne in mind that the distinction between them is an important one. Boys and girls who have shown criminal or vicious tendencies are proper inmates of reformatories. Those who are destitute, or whose only faults are due to the want of proper discipline and control, belong naturally to the industrial schools. If they need a measure of firm control, they will be in residence at the schools; otherwise, they are, as far as possible, boarded out. The disciplinary methods in an industrial school may be very much milder than are necessary in a reformatory. The fact that Magistrates can now, under the Act of last session, commit boys or girls to an industrial school up to the age of sixteen, instead of fifteen as formerly, and that under the Act of 1882 any one under eighteen years of age who has been sentenced to imprisonment may be transferred to an " industrial school " (which would be in such cases a reformatory), will not make the work less arduous. It is almost, if not quite, impossible in a reformatory to do without corporal punishment or the use of cells; but it is hoped by a system of promotions from class to class, and of well-considered money rewards for good conduct, to reduce these objectionable forms of punishment to a minimum. It would be a mistake to abolish prematurely the power to use such punishments; for instance, in America, where corporal punishment was abolished, it has been found desirable to reintroduce it. Education, healthy work, and systematic industrial teaching will be the chief means of reclaiming those who have unfortunately started on a wrong path in life. That such means have been successful in the past is shown by the results of a careful inquiry that has been made into the subsequent history of inmates of our industrial schools from the passing of the Act of 1882 ; out of over 1,100 that have passed out of the control of the schools, and about whom the Department has authentic information, 90 per cent, at least have turned out well. The success that has attended industrial school work in New Zealand, despite imperfections and drawbacks that the Department is now endeavouring to remove, has not escaped the notice of authorities outside the colony. For instance, one of the most exhaustive reviews of such work throughout the world is contained in a paper read before the Royal Statistical Societjr of Great Britain in March, 1900, " The Treatment of Juvenile Offenders," by Miss Rosa M. Barrett. The writer warmly praises many features of the New Zealand system, and in the concluding summary of her essay expresses the opinion that " the best examples of preventive work" (i.e., work intended to prevent crime) " are afforded in the countries of New Zealand, Ontario (Canada), and in the States of Massachusetts, Michigan, and Minnesota." The necessity for further progress must not, however, be lost sight of; accordingly, it is proposed to give to Boards of Education the power to establish separate truant schools, and thereby to check at its outset the nomadic habit that so often leads to juvenile delinquency. It is hoped also that the introduction

XXI

E.—l

XXII

of more definite industrial training into the schools—such as that given, for instance, in the workshops lately erected at Burnham—will still further increase the chances of success in the treatment of those committed to the schools. A second officer was appointed in August, 1900, to visit inmates boarded out with foster-parents, residing with friends on probation, and at service ; and for the same work one of the two Assistant Inspectors of Industrial Schools appointed in January of the present year will be partly available. These officers have to make themselves acquainted with the individual circumstances of some 1,050 children. The work is constant and responsible, but the additional supervision thus provided over non-resident inmates, supplementing the watchful care exercised by the managers and official correspondents of the schools and the local visitors, will, it is hoped, render the boarding-out and licensing systems even more successful than they have been before. From time to time regulations have been issued dealing with various matters that concern industrial-school inmates, but no complete set of regulations has hitherto been drawn up. Indeed, until the passing of the Act of last year, there was no power given to make regulations, except in regard to one or two matters, for the management of private industrial schools. Shortly, however, a set of regulations dealing with industrial-school matters generally, and applying to Government and private schools alike, will be issued; and it is hoped that the issue of definite instructions on all the most important points will tend to the more efficient management of all the schools. During the year 1900 157 inmates ceased to be under the control of the schools —namely, discharged, 112; having reached the age of twenty-one years, 23; by transfer to the Costley Training Institution, 6; by marriage, 5; by death, 11. The number of deaths (11) was unusually high. Of these, six were deaths of inmates in hospital—namely, two from phthisis, one from sarcoma of lung, one from tubercular peritonitis, one from cardiac disease and pneumonia, and one from typhoid fever; two were children boarded out, both of whom died of tubercular meningitis; and three in residence died of meningitis, double pneumonia, and acute gastritis respectively. The number admitted during the year was 192 —namely, 51 from Wellington, 39 from Auckland, 36 from Dunedin, 25 from Christchurch, and 41 from the smaller towns and. country districts, the committals from the latter being in every case under 8 in number. .Describing the children admitted according to their religion, we find that 98 are set down as belonging to the Church of England; Soman Catholic, 56; Presbyterian, 25 ; Methodist, 8; Baptist, 2; Congregational, 1; Church of Christ, 1; "Protestant," 1.

On account of the earnings of inmates belonging to Government industrial schools there was, on 31st December, 1900, a balance in the Post Office SavingsBank of £11,137 Is. Id., and on account of inmates on the books of private industrial schools, £1,527 18s. 7d. During the year £1,377 16s. 6d. was withdrawn for inmates of Government schools, and £88 ss. 6d. for inmates of private schools. In Table W is shown the expenditure on the Government schools, including the cost of inmates boarded out, the salaries of the resident staffs, of the medical officers, of three official correspondents, and of two visiting officers of licensed-out inmates; the table also gives the amounts of the recoveries from Charitable Aid Boards, from parents, from the sale of farm produce, &c.

TABLE X.—Government Expenditure on Private Schools (R.C.), 1900.

The Government or Charitable Aid Boards paid for the maintenance of the 29 children previously stated to be in corrective or other institutions or homes. The payments made by the Government were as follows : Levin Memorial Home, Wellington, £27 19s. Id.; private home (special treatment), £6 45.; St. Mary's, Eichmond, Christchurch, £84 Is. 6d.; Samaritan Home, Christchurch, £3 10s,; Mount Magdala, Christchurch, £214 7s. 9d. Six children belonging to the Wellington and Nelson private industrial schools were boarded at the Mission Home, Jerusalem, Wanganui (Mother Aubert's), the Government paying during the year £124 16s. for their maintenance. The separate paper, E.-3, gives additional statistics in regard to industrial schools, a summary of the reports of the visits of inspection paid to the schools and to foster- and service-homes, and other matters of interest.

School foe Deaf-mutes. This school has continued its valuable work in the education of deaf-mute children on the same lines as heretofore, instruction being given in the pure oral method, by which the deaf are taught to understand ordinary speech and to speak themselves so as to be readily tinderstood by others. The power of language thus acquired is made the means of mental development to an extent which does not appear possible under any system of signs, manual or otherwise. It would be thought that the advantages to be gained by placing those thus afflicted more or less on an equality with their hearing fellow-creatures would be sufficiently obvious to make all parents of such children willing to send them to an institution where they are carefully looked after and educated. Such, however, is not the case; for although the roll of the school includes, with one or two exceptions, all the deaf-mutes of school age and of sound intellect in the colony that have been brought under the notice of the Education Department, yet there are the exceptions already referred to, and many instances are met with from time to time of deaf but naturally intelligent young men or women who have escaped the notice of the Department and have been allowed to grow up without education. If the fact were not so clear it would be difficult to imagine that there should be parents so shortsighted or so selfish as to stand in the way of their children's best interests. Nothing short of compulsion will move these people to send their deaf-mute children to Sumner, and it would probably be to the interest of the State to see that the necessary compulsion was used. The law in England in regard to the compulsory education of blind and deaf children is worthy of note : — "It is the duty of every school authority to enforce the law of compulsory attendance in the case of blind children between the ages of five and sixteen, and of deaf children between seven and sixteen (56 and 57 Vict., c. 42, sec. 11). The fact that children may be blind or deaf is not an excuse for parents not providing education for them, and the fact that there may be no suitable public elementary school within a certain distance is not a reasonable excuse for not causing a blind or deaf child to attend school (ibid., sec. 1). School authorities are responsible for the provision of suitable education for such children, but it is not intended that the whole expense shall be borne by the school authority. The Act provides that the parent of a child shall contribute towards the child's expenses such sum as may be agreed upon between the school authority and the parent. Notwithstanding anything in the Elementary Education Acts, or in the by-laws for the district in which the child is resident, a deaf or blind child must attend school full time until the age of sixteen is reached. Failure to enable blind and deaf children resident in the district of the School Board, for whose elementary education efficient and suitable provision is not otherwise made, to obtain such education constitutes default on the part of the School Board." At the end of 1899 there were 43 children—22 boys and 21 girls —at the institution. Three boys were admitted in 1900 ; 1 pupil, a girl, died during the year; there were therefore 25 boys and 20 girls —45 in all —in residence in December, 1900. The gross expenditure for maintenance during the year ended 31st December, 1900, was £3,158 95., as against £3,444 2s. sd. for the previous year. The total was made up as follows : Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,257 9s. 10d.; steward, matron, and servants, £506 Bs. 3d. ; rent, £155 14s. 7d. ; housekeeping, £689 10s. 3d. ; travelling-expenses, £203 12s. 4d.; school material, £3 2s. sd. ; repairs and works, £91 12s. sd. ; clothing, £11 Bs. 9d. ; medical attendance and medicine, £25 Bs. sd. ; water-supply, £38 Bs. ; sanitary precautions, £37 125.; boarding-out of pupils, £24 7s. Id. ; sundries, £113 14s. Bd. Less amount contributed by parents, £147 18s. 6d. Net expenditure, £3,010 10s. 6d. (The net expenditure in 1899 was £3,244 7s. 5d.) There was also paid to complete the purchase of the new site, £2,233 6s. 3d., making the total cost of land and buildings purchased, £4,933 6s. 3d. The plans for new buildings are in hand, and it is hoped that it may be possible shortly to begin the work of erection.

Although the Jubilee Institute for the Blind is a private institution, and not in any way under Government control, it receives payment from the Education Department on account of pupils for whose tuition the department is responsible. The total amount so paid during the year 1900 was £338 15s. sd. In addition to the payment of £30 for the annual railway ticket for the use of an agent of the Institute, the Department also paid £2 10s. for the passage of a pupil; £31 Bs. was recovered from parents and others, The number of Government pupils at the end of 1899 was nine; three of these left during the year 1900, and nine others were admitted; the number of such pupils at the close of last year was accordingly fifteen. The remarks above referring to the compulsory education of deaf children apply also to blind children. Manual Training and Technical Instruction. Last year was marked by the most important step that has yet been taken in this colony for the advancement of manual and technical instruction— namely, the passing of the Manual and Technical Instruction Act. Already a considerable impetus to progress in this direction is manifest, but the history of it belongs almost entirely to the present year (1901), and not to the year of which this report treats. Organizing Inspectors have been appointed, and the regulations required to give effect to the Act have been issued. The Act and regulations will, it is believed, offer a degree of encouragement to manual and technical education as liberal as is offered by the State in any part of the world. The Inspectors have already (August, 1901) visited nearly every part of the colony, have met teachers and others interested, giving model lessons and such information and advice as will enable local controlling authorities to begin work on the best lines or extend the work that has already been begun. The Inspectors have also in hand a series of small manuals suggesting suitable programmes of work in manual and technical classes. One of these, on " Modelling," has already appeared, and two others, on "Woodwork" and " Cardboard modelling" respectively, will be ready shortly. One of the most satisfactory features of the movement is the degree of interest that is being manifested in regard to the introduction of hand and eye training into the schools of the colony, which is, it is satisfactory to note, most marked in the matter of the increasing adoption of kindergarten methods into the teaching of the infant classes. It is recognised that trained teachers are essential for effective work, and accordingly special grants, amounting to £1,875 in all, have been given to the Boards of Education to enable them to provide training for their teachers in those subjects prescribed by the regulations under the head of " Handwork "in school classes. Free railway passes are also being granted to teachers from country districts who attend such training classes. The extension of technical education proper will be sufficiently indicated when it is stated that since the passing of the Act there have been, exclusive of school classes, some forty or fifty applications for grants in aid of buildings, apparatus, and material. The controlling authorities recognised are Boards of Education, governing bodies of secondary schools, university colleges, and, in the case of certain classes in existence before the passing of the Act, the managers of those classes. School classes, or classes held in connection with primary or secondary schools, are under the control of the Boards of Education or of the governing bodies respectively. "Special classes" —that is, continuation classes or classes for manual or technical instruction —established by the same bodies are also under their control. " College classes " are classes for higher technical instruction established and controlled by a university college. Classes may also be established by any suitable public association or corporation acting jointly with a Board of Education or university college; these are called "associated classes," and all the contributing bodies may have a voice, according to the share of the cost of maintenance borne by them, in the election of the managers of the classes. The grants for capitation on the average attendance are twice, or nearly twice, as iv-E. 1.

liberal as under the former Act, and many classes that could not be recognised before may be recognised now. Subsidies are payable upon bequests and on voluntary contributions. Grants are also made, on certain conditions, towards the cost of buildings, apparatus, and material; and a system of scholarships will be initiated shortly, to lead from the day-schools to the technical schools, and to afford to the best students in the latter opportunities for obtaining higher technical instruction. It is worthy of note, but not yet perhaps generally understood, that the Act and regulations offer just as great inducements for dairy classes and for agricultural instruction as for other forms of technical education; even more, perhaps, for in certain cases capitation may be paid to country classes at one and a half times the rate paid to town classes. It is hoped that, especially in the schools, the fact will not be lost sight of that manual training should not be treated as a subject apart from the rest of education, but that it should be co-ordinated with the other subjects of instruction, and that its introduction should have a marked influence in making all methods of teaching more concrete, more direct, and more natural. The training of the perceptive powers by observation and attention, the development, of the reasoning powers, the training in the ready and clear expression of thought, the growth of literary and artistic taste, and of a sturdy manly morality, all taken together— not any one of them separately —will make good citizens and good workmen. It is for the local controlling authorities in all parts of the colony to take up the work that it is now made possible for them to do ; it is for the various public associations and corporate bodies to do their utmost to encourage those departments of the work in which they are most interested ; and it may not, perhaps, be too much too hope that there may be found private donors to whom as elsewhere, more especially in Great Britain and the United States, the endowment of technical education may seem an object worthy of their generosity. The total expenditure under the head of technical instruction, exclusive of grants for building, for the year 1900 was £2,690, as follows: Capitation, £1,555 5s. 3d. ; special grants under Act of 1895, £400 ; subsidies on voluntary contributions under section 17 of the Act of 1900, £335 4s. lid.; incidentals, £433 7s. 6d.

The incidental expenditure is as follows : Examinations of Board of Education, formerly Science and Art Department, South Kensington, .£99 14s. 9d; examinations of City and Guilds of London Institute, £36 lls. 3d.; railway fares of students, £137 3s. 4d.; railway fares of instructors, £66 4s. 9d.; art collection (students' works), £53 17s. 7d.; publications, £28 os. 2d.; advertising and sundries, £6 15s. Bd. : total, £433 7s. 6d. Out of the vote of £10,000 for technical-school buildings and apparatus, £2,178 6s. 10d. was granted, to the Dunedin Technical Classes Association, leaving an unexpended balance of £7,821 13s. 2d. on the 31st March, 1901. Several other grants have, however, been made since that date. As subsidy on voluntary contributions in aid of classes, £335 4s. lid. was distributed, as follows: Wellington Education Board (Technical School, Wellington), £122; Dunedin Technical Classes Association, £179 18s. 3d.; and Masterton Technical . School, £33 6s. Bd. Considerable stimulus has been given in the past to New Zealand students by the examinations held here on behalf of the Science and Art Department (now the Board of Education), London, and of the City and Guilds of London Institute. The results of such examinations for the year 1900 are shown in another paper (E.-5). It is worthy of consideration, however, whether the time is not approaching when some of these examinations should be conducted by the Department itself. The delay that is almost inevitably associated with examinations conducted by or on behalf of examining bodies on the other side of the world would be avoided if at least the more elementary subjects or branches were dealt with entirely in the colony. Besides the work that is taken account of here, much important technical work has been done in connection with the Otago and other Schools of Mines, the Canterbury College Engineering School, and other institutions. The manual and technical work done in connection with Native schools is referred to elsewhere in this report.

University and Colleger. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is a separate paper (E.-6). The number of graduates admitted or qualified for admission now amounts to 756. Of this number, 351 have the degree of B.A. alone; 25 B.Sc. alone; 25 LL.B. alone; 2 B.Sc. in Engineering alone; 1 M.B. alone; 41 M.B and Ch.B. alone; 2 Mus. Bac. alone; 215 M.A. alone; 4 LL.D. alone; 5 M.D. alone; and 1 D.Sc. alone. The graduates upon whom degrees in more than one faculty have been conferred are : B.A. and B.Sc, 7 ; B.A. and LL.B., 18; 8.A., M.B. and Ch.B., 5 ; 8.A., B.Sc. and M.8., Ch.B., 2; B.Sc. and M.8., Ch.B., 1; M.A. and B.Sc, 25 ; M.A. and B.Sc. in Engineering, 1; M.A. and LL.B., 16; M.A. and D.Sc, 4; M.A. and M.8., Ch.B., 2; M.A. and LL.D., 3. The number of degrees authorised to be conferred after the examinations of 1900 was 86: 8.A., 46; B.Sc, 10; LL.B., 3; M.8., 1; M.B. and Ch.B., 7; M.A., 18; D.Sc, 1. As appears by the Chancellor's report, the number of candidates who were examined at the usual examinations in November and December, 1900, and in January and April, 1901, in the faculties of arts, science, medicine, law, and music, and for admission to the legal profession, was 1,282. The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1900 was 805, of whom 300 were women. Of these students, 536 were matriculated at the University of New Zealand. The numbers in attendance at the several colleges are as follows: University of Otago, 164 men and 53 women matriculated, and 39 men and 1 woman not matriculated; at Canterbury College, 75 men and 50 women matriculated, and 18 men and 75 women not matriculated; at Auckland University College, 64 men and 36 women matriculated, and 49 men and 42 women not matriculated; and at Victoria College, 61 men and 33 women matriculated, and 35 men and 10 -women not matriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.-7, E.-8, E.-9, and E.-10 respectively. "The Univeesity Endowment Act, 1868." The income accrued under this Act, and applicable to purposes of higher education yet to be determined by Parliament, amounted, on the 31st March, 1901, to £5,321 16s. 3d., as follows: Canterbury Eeserves, £1,973 7s. 4d.; Westland, £239 12s. 6d.; Taranaki, £3,108 16s. sd. Civil Sebvice Examinations. As usual the Civil Service Examinations were conducted this year (in January) by the Education Department simultaneously with the examination for teachers' certificates. There were 473 candidates for the Junior Civil Service Examination, and the names of 251 were published in order of merit in the Gazette of the 28th February. For the Senior Civil Service Examination there were 99 candidates, of whom 32 passed. Further particulars are given in the report of the examination (E.-1a). Chatham Islands. In the Chatham Islands during 1900 instruction was given by three teachers and two assistants at six different centres, five on the main island and one on Pitt Island. The number on the roll at the end of the year was 55 ; the working average attendance, 50. The total expenditure was £374 12s. lid. — namely, salaries and allowances, £286 9s. Bd.; building material, school furniture and requisites, and repairs, £56 11s. 9d; inspection, £31 11s. 6d. 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, v—E. 1.

Subsidies to Public Libbabies. By a vote of last session a sum of £3,000 was granted for subsidies to public libraries; the same amount was voted for distribution in 1899. The method of distribution of the vote for 1900 was the same as that adopted 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 31st October, 1900, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the Bth February, 1901, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 349 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 3s. 11 - 96 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £19 19s. Id. to £5 6s. 2d. Some libraries supplied with the proper form failed to send in formal claims by the 31st January, 1901, the date fixed by the Gazette notice, and did not therefore participate in the vote. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows an increase of thirty-seven over the number aided in the previous year. In order that the purpose intended to be served by the vote may be attained, it is made a condition for participation that the whole of the subsidy granted to each library in the previous year shall have been expended in the purchase of books. The following table shows the distribution according to education districts: —

EEPOETS OF EDUCATION BOAEDS.

AUCKLAND. Sib, — Auckland, March, 1901. In compliance with section 102 of the "Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings for the year 1900 : — Boaed.—The members in office at the beginning of the year were : Messrs. L. J. Bagnall, J. Blades, T. Cooper, E. Farrell, E. Hobbs (Chairman), S. Luke, J. Muir, J. E. Eeed, and Dr. McArthur. Messrs. Hobbs, Muir, and Eeed retired in March, 1900, and were succeeded by Messrs. W. Lambe, J. D. McKenzie, and N. A. McLeod. Mr. Bagnall was chosen to succeed Mr. Hobbs as Chairman. Twenty-one meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of (nearly) eight members. The meetings of the Board are now held every four weeks, a committee of four members meeting every fortnight to deal with matters of finance and the selection of teachers for appointments. Mr. Theo. Cooper has resigned his membership upon his acceptance of the office of a Judge of the Supreme Court. He had been continuously a member for more than seventeen years, and had rendered valuable service during that period. The members to retire in August next are Messrs. Bagnall, Farrell, and Luke. Schools. —At the end of the year there were 381 schools in operation, an increase of three upon the number at the end of 1899. New schools were opened at Manukau North Head, Matamata, Mahoenui, Manawaru, Te Puna Point, Tangihua No. 2, and Tahekeroa. Schools were reopened at Kaurihohore and Long Bay, both half-time. The following schools were closed owing to the withdrawal of population : Waiomio, Bowentown, Waikoukou, Pepepe, Maramarua South, and Oropi. The last-named school has been since reopened. Of the 381 schools, fifty-four are half-time, and the number of separate schools is reckoned by the Department as 354. In nearly one-fourth of these the average attendance is less than 20. In 250 schools the average attendance is less than 50. These figures indicate the exceptional position in which the Board is placed as regards the maintenance of primary education throughout this large and scattered district. It is manifest that the cost per head of educating a thousand children in fifty schools of twenty each will be far greater than the cost of educating the same number in twenty schools of fifty each. A fair comparison of the cost per head between these two extremes cannot be made. In the Auckland District settlement is so scattered and remote that the Board is obliged to establish and maintain a large number of small schools at a cost which is quite disproportionate to the income earned by capitation grant. It is the aim of the Board to extend the means of education into the remotest corners of the district, which comprises an area of more than 20,000 square miles ; but to endeavour to gauge the cost of this policy by a comparison with the cost of administering an evenly-populated district of half the area is to apply a test at once fallacious and unfair. Tbachbbs. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 797 (333 males and 464 females), besides seventy teachers of sewing. This number is distributed as follows : Head teachers, 354 ; assistant teachers, 206; pupil-teachers, 237. The disproportion of pupil to adult teachers is more apparent than real, for under the description of " pupil-teacher " are included many certificated teachers of mature age, ranking as ex-pupil-teachers or junior assistants. It cannot, however, be denied that the pupil-teacher element preponderates too largely in the scale of staffing the schools of this district. It is much to be desired that ex-pupil-teachers should have the privilege of undergoing a course of training at the end of their apprenticeship in order to become fitted for higher positions. With a staff of about eight hundred teachers it is impossible to avoid frequent changes, if any regard is to be paid to the claims of teachers to promotion. The frequent illness of teachers necessitates the employment of a large staff of relieving teachers and involves other changes. More than one-tenth of the personnel of the teaching staff is changed every year through resignations and withdrawals from the service. During the past year eighty-five teachers left the service, and ninety new teachers were taken into employment. A larger supply of male teachers is urgently needed, particularly for out-districts where there is no suitable accommodation for a lady teacher. A few uncertifieated teachers are still employed in outlying districts. The remuneration of teachers, according to a colonial scale, is a matter which has occupied public attention during the past year. The Board has expressed its willingness to assist the Department with its advice and suggestions in the preparation of a colonial scale of salaries; but up 10— E. 1,

B—l

to the present time there seems to be no disposition on the part of the Department to take the Board into confidence in this matter. In the meantime the Board has done its best to improve the remuneration of teachers of small country schools, although it was necessary to reduce the higher salaries in order to do so. The vote of an addition to the capitation grant for teachers' salaries will, it is hoped, enable the Board to complete the work begun last year of providing a more liberal scale of payment to its teachers. Attendance. —There has been no material change in the roll-number of scholars during the year, but the working-average for the last quarter of 1900 shows an advance of nearly a thousand upon that of the last quarter of 1899. There has been.no serious epidemic during the year. In spite of the efforts made to secure a compliance with the requirements of the School Attendance Act, there are still over four thousand children—more than one-seventh of the whole number—daily absent from school. From correspondence which has reached the Board, there seems to be an idea among some School Committees that the provisions of the Act are optional rather than mandatory. The Truant Officer and his assistant have succeeded in bringing about an improvement in the attendance. An amendment of the Act is desirable in order to check the growth of truancy ; but the Board does not approve the proposal to utilise the services of police constables as truant officers. The Board is glad to learn that the Government have decided to adopt the working average as the permanent basis of attendance for all purposes. Scholaeships.—Twenty-four senior and fifty-three junior scholarships were under tenure at the end of the year, besides five held by girls under special regulations and derived from the income of the Auckland Girls' High School Endowment. Satisfactory reports are received from time to time upon the conduct and diligence of the holders. Technical Instbuction. —Classes in manual instruction have been held at the Devonport and Eemuera Schools. The Board has urged upon the Government the need of better provision being made for the maintenance of the Auckland Technical School, for which a suitable building is needed. It is hoped that under the new Act and regulations something may be accomplished towards placing Auckland on a better footing in the matter of technical instruction. Finance.—The statement of accounts shows that the year began with a balance of £353 2s. 6d. in hand. The total income from all sources was £105,904 7s. Bd., and the expenditure was £102,755 11s. lid. At the end of the year there was an unexpended balance of £3,501 18s. 3d. in hand. These figures include both Maintenance Account and Building Fund. In Maintenance Account, the statutory capitation grant of £3 15s. was applied (approximately) as follows: Teachers' salaries and allowances, £3 4s. Id. per head; grants to School Committees, including small repairs, 6s. 2d. per head; inspection and examination, 2s. Id. per head ; cost of Board's management, Is. 10d. per head; unexpended, lOd. per head. (In 1899 the expenditure on maintenance amounted to £3 16s. 3d. per head.) The income on this account is dependent to a large extent upon circumstances beyond the control of the Board; and it is prudent to keep a small reserve in hand towards meeting any emergency which may arise through weather, sickness, or other cause. The expenditure on school buildings during the year amounted to £12,066 16s. 10d., of which a large portion was applied to the improvement of existing buildings. At the end of the year the Board was committed to liabilities amounting to nearly £1,000 in excess of assets on this account, besides having to provide for other necessary works estimated to cost more than £10,000. Many works have to be delayed for want of funds. The provision made in the yearly grants voted by Parliament for school buildings is, as it has ever been, totally inadequate to meet requirements. The Board has not neglected to urge this want upon the attention of Government, and a special application was made (without any effect) for assistance towards providing teachers' residences. Buildings.—Ten new schools have been built, and four schools have been rebuilt after destruction by fire. Nine residences have been erected. Additional accommodation has been provided in eleven schools and in two residences. A large outlay has been incurred in necessary repairs and improvements to existing buildings. Two competent and experienced foremen carpenters are employed continuously in this work. In spite of the utmost economy, there are still many urgent requirements which the Board is obliged to postpone indefinitely for lack of funds. In several instances such postponement is likely to be attended with serious injury to the health of children and teachers. The Board would again impress upon Government the absolute necessity for dealing promptly and liberally with the requirements of the Auckland District in regard to buildings, and especially in regard to teachers' residences. Special assistance has been received from Government towards the cost of providing buildings in newly settled districts. Miscellaneous. —In accordance with section 98 of the Education Act, the inspection and examination of twenty-one Eoman Catholic private schools were undertaken by the Inspectors and carried out at the cost of the Board during the year. The Board is of opinion that the inspection of private schools should be undertaken by and at the cost of the State. A systematic effort has been made to improve and extend the instruction in military drill. An experienced instructor has been appointed to direct the teachers. Cadet corps are being formed in several of the larger schools, and a supply of model rifles has been received from Government for their use, subject to the approved regulations. The cordial relations between the School Committees and the Board have been maintained during the year. Much valuable assistance is afforded by the Committees in carrying out the administration of the Act, and the fullest consideration has been given to their advice and recommendations in regard to school matters, so far as is consistent with the interests of the education district as a whole. I have, &c, L. J. Bagnall, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

TARANAKI. Sib,— New Plymouth, March, 1901. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Taranaki has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1900. The Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Duncan McAllum, Esq. (Chairman), Miss Jessie Heywood, Messrs. G. Adlam, E. G. Allsworth, W. Cutfield, H. Faull, B. A. Hignett, J. Mackay, and J. Wade. Messrs. Cutfield, Paull, and Mackay 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 March resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Faull and Mackay, and the election of Mr. W. Kennedy in the place of Mr. Cutfield, who declined to again contest the seat. At the first meeting of the Board in April Mr. McAllum was re-elected Chairman. The Board held twenty-four ordinary and three special meetings during the year. Schools.—There were two aided schools opened during the year, one at Tahora and one at Pohokura, bringing up the number of schools in the district to sixty-five. Pupil-teachebs.—At the close of the year twenty-eight pupil-teachers were employed, and at the annual examination twenty-four pupil-teachers and one cadet were examined; the cadet and one pupil-teacher failed. For the first time an outside examiner was appointed for the pupilteachers, and his report shows that the examiner, Dr. A. McArthur, M.A., LL.D., was very pleased with the results of the examination, and congratulates the Board upon the training of its pupil-teachers and the syllabus prescribed for them. Of the twenty-eight pupil-teachers employed at the end of the year only seven were males, and the disparity in numbers is a clear indication that the remuneration offered to boys is insufficient to induce them to take up teaching as a profession. This is often a great drawback, for there are many cases in which it is advisable and even necessary to appoint male pupil-teachers. Scholarships.—For senior scholarships there were twenty candidates, and for junior scholarships there were twenty-two candidates. Two of the senior candidates did not present themselves for examination. Of the senior candidates six qualified, and of the junior eleven qualified. Committees. —New school districts have been formed at Tahora, Tututawa and Pohokura, and Committees elected. Buildings.—A new school has been built at Tututawa, and the old school at Urenui replaced by a new building. Eesidences have been built at Eltham Eoad and Tututawa, and a contract let for a new infants' school at Stratford, which has to be completed by the end of January, 1901. Through the number of schools increasing each year the Board finds itself very much hampered for the funds to carry out necessary works, the repairs and additions to the present buildings taking nearly the whole of the grant, and whilst recognising the urgent need of several additional residences has not the funds to erect them. Opaku Eesebve.—A conference of delegates from this and the Wanganui Education Boards met in Wanganui. At this conference resolutions were drawn up, copies of which have been forwarded to all the School Committees in the Taranaki Province; these copies have nearly all been returned to the office bearing the indorsement of the Committees to which they were sent. Finance.—The income of the Board from all sources, including £1,198 14s. 6d. balance on the 31st December, 1899, was £18,176 13s. 3d., and the expenditure £14,796 9s. 10d., leaving a credit balance of £3,380 3s. 5d.; against this balance are liabilities that fully cover the same. I have, &c, Duncan McAllum, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

REPORT ON THE STRATFORD DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL, 1900.

The results of the examination were satisfactory. In the highest division work to the Junior University Scholarship standard had been undertaken with satisfactory results. The matriculation class did very satisfactory work. The work of the junior division might have been stronger in accurate knowledge of the ground covered. This division, however, contains some pupils who have been for only a short time in the class and could not have been expected to make much progress. The work attempted has been very heavy, two pupils who have been three years at secondary work covering the ground for the Junior University Scholarship. This is a high ideal of progress for the teachers to place before themselves, and they must be congratulated on the success attained. W. E. Spencee, M.A., B.Sc, Examiner.

WANGANUI. Sib, — Wanganui, Ist March, 1901. I have the honour to present the usual annual report of this Board's proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1900. Boabd. —At the annual election of members in February, 1900, Mr. G. S. Bridge and Mr. B. A. Adams were re-elected, and Mr. Wm. Corry, of Wanganui, was elected in place of Mr. James W. Baker. In January, 1900, Mr. Henry Sanson resigned his seat on the Board in consequence of leaving the district, and Mr. W. T. Wood, of Palmerston North, was elected in his place. In April Mr. G. S. Bridge was re-elected Chairman of the Board. The Board is therefore now composed of the following members: Mr. G. S. Bridge (Chairman), Rev. John Boss, Mr. P. Pirani, M.H.8., Mr. F; Y. Lethbridge, M.H.8., Mr. F. M. Spurdle, Mr. B. G. Bobbins, Mr. B. A. Adams, Mr. William Corry, and Mr. W. T. Wood. Attendance.—For the last quarter of the year the strict average attendance was 8,776, with a roll-number of 10,800, being 81-25 per cent, of the average to the roll. The average roll-number for the whole year was 10,817, and the strict average attendance 8,773, being 81-1 per cent, average attendance to the roll. Pour Truant Officers were appointed in 1897, each taking a portion of the district; but they were subsequently replaced by one for the whole district, who is now in office. During the year the Truant Officer prosecuted in 73 cases for non-attendance. In these, 421 persons were fined, and fifty-nine convicted without fine; 157 cases were dismissed, and ninety-nine withdrawn. The Truant Officer alleges that the number of cases dismissed and withdrawn is owing to a conflict between sections 3 and 7of the School Attendance Act. Section 3 requires that an exemption certificate, signed by the Chairman of the School Committee, should be produced by the parent or guardian of the absentee ; whilst section 7 permits the Magistrate to dismiss the case upon the defendant's own statement. The Truant Officer makes a regular monthly report of the schools visited, also acts as sanitary inspector, and reports upon the drainage and sanitary arrangements of the several schools. Whenever it is found necessary, the Board directs the attention of the School Committees to any defects which may exist in connection with these matters. Teaching Staff.—There are now 293 teachers in the Board's service, 139 being males and 154 females. Of these, fifty-eight are head male teachers, eight head female teachers ; thirty-nine sole male and thirty-six sole female teachers; eleven are assistant male teachers, and forty assistant female teachers ; thirty-seven are male pupil-teachers, and seventy female pupil-teachers. There are, besides, nineteen cadets training for pupil-teachers. Speaking generally, the Board has every reason to be satisfied with its teachers. Schools.—At the close of the year the Board had 143 schools in operation. Of these twentyfive were aided or subsidised schools and one a half-time school; fourteen had under 14 pupils; eleven had 15 and under 20; fourteen had 20 and under 25 ; fifty-four had 25 and under 50; twenty-one had 50 and under 75; nine had 75 and under 100; eight had 100 and under 150; seven had 150 and under 300; and five had 300 and under 500. It will be noticed by these figures that the Board has to maintain a very large proportion of small schools. Buildings.—Tenders have been accepted during the year for new schools at Pakihikura, Poukiore, and Opaku, and for extensive additions to the schools at Aramoho, Taihape, and Castlecliff. Teachers' residences have been erected at Mangatoki, Kiwitea, and Opaku. Repairs and improvements of various kinds have been made to the buildings and grounds at Peilding, Marton, Patea, Wangaehu, Baetihi, Table Flat, Pukerua, Hawera, Maungahoe, Crofton, Ohakea, Biverlea, Buahine, Stoney Creek, Bangiwahia, Bewa, Foxton, Awahuri, Stanway, Kaponga, Upper Taonui, Kimbolton, Turakina, Ohingaiti, Manaia, Waverley, and Maxwell. The sum of £500 was also voted and expended in painting some of the schools, a work which was much needed. At Aramoho it was found necessary to acquire an addition to the school site at a cost of £150. The carpenter, who had been for some years in the Board's service, and who had proved himself very useful, resigned, and the Board has not filled the vacancy. A large amount of administrative work, under the heading of " Building," is now referred to a Building Committee, and the time of the Board is thus considerably economised. Committees' School Fund.—A number of Committees applied to the Board to increase the amount of the School Fund allowance. The Board replied that they were unable to do so, without making a further reduction in teachers' salaries, unless the Government grant to the Board was augmented, in which case the Board would increase the Committees' allowance. All the Committees accepted the Board's decision, excepting one, which refused to dispense the fund. It is to be regretted that the Minister has not been able to give the Board the extra capitation grant of ss. per annum suggested by the Conference, as this would have enabled them to increase the salaries of teachers, and augment the capitation grant to Committees, which is so small at present that in most districts money has to be raised locally for ordinary current expenses. Change of Name. —The Bangitoto School will in future be found under the head of " Ohakea." Wanganui Technical School.—The staff of the Wanganui Technical School has been remodelled, with a view of bringing the expenditure as near as possible within the receipts. One of the former assistant masters has been transferred to Palmerston North, where it is proposed to erect a technical school, and the other assistant master has been transferred to Hawera, where he has continued the art classes ever since. The Board regrets that the Wanganui School has not met with the support it anticipated, but hopes that with the change above referred to a considerable saving will be made. For the purpose of building a technical school at Palmerston North the inhabitants subscribed £200, which will be supplemented by £200 from the Board, and a like sum has been applied for from Government, making a total of £600, which sum, it is thought, will be sufficient to commence with. Plans for the building will be prepared at once and tenders invited for its erection. Drill.—Cadet corps have been established at several of the Board's larger schools, and the Board will arrange for teachers to assemble at Wanganui, Palmerston North and Hawera centres

E.—l

for drill instruction on Saturdays. With this end in view Government has been asked for the services of a drill instructor, and, as soon as the Board has ascertained the number of teachers who will attend at each centre, the information will be forwarded to the Defence Department for the purpose of completing arrangements. Disteict High Schools.—The Board has received application from, the School Committees of Wanganui and Hawera for the establishment of District High Schools at those places, and as a fair number of pupils are promised the Board purposes to comply with the request, provided that no claim for extra staffing is made upon the funds for primary education. Application has been made to the Minister for his sanction as required by the Education Act, 1877. Pupil-teachebs.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June. Eighteen candidates presented themselves in the first class, twenty in the second class, and twenty-one in the third class, making a total of fifty-nine. In the first class seventeen passed and one failed. Of the seventeen who passed, eight were boys and nine girls, and a boy headed the list. In the second class fifteen passed and five failed. Of those who passed seven were boys and eight girls, and a girl headed the list. In the third class sixteen passed and fivefailed. Of those who passed, four were boys and twelve girls, and a girl headed the list. Scholarships,—The usual scholarships competitive examination was held in December, when seventy-four candidates presented themselves—viz., thirty-six for the senior and thirty-eight for the junior class. Of the seniors, thirteen qualified and twenty-three failed to score the necessary percentage. Three girls secured the highest places in this class, and were awarded scholarships of £40 a year each for three years. Two of these competitors were pupils of the Wanganui Girls' College, and one a pupil of the Terrace End School, Palmerston North. Of the junior competitors, ten qualified for scholarships and twenty-eight failed, to obtain the necessary percentage. The boy who headed the list did not take up the scholarship offered him. Four scholarships were awarded to the next highest competitors, one of £15 a year to a Wanganui girl, and three of £40 each to pupils of country schools. To qualify for a scholarship candidates must obtain not less than 65 per cent, of the possible number of marks. The Board has found it necessary to comment on the folly of parents or teachers presenting candidates who are quite unprepared for such a contest, a course which entails useless trouble and expense. Finance.—The statement of receipts and expenditure shows a debit balance in the General Account of £262 3s. 3d. and there are liabilities (principally for School Fund) amounting to £475 12s. 7d., making a total of £737 15s. 10d. Of this sum £610 4s. lid. is a debit on account of the Wanganui, Palmerston North, and Hawera Technical Schools, which, if deducted from the above gross amount, would leave a net debit balance on the General Account of £127 10s. lid. The Building Account shows a credit balance of £3,117 13s. 4d., with liabilities, on account of contracts accepted, amounting to £2,968 6s. 2d., leaving a credit balance of £149 7s. 2d. There are, however, contingent liabilities for buildings promised, but for which contracts have not yet been entered into, which will more than absorb this nominal balance. With reference to the balance against the technical schools, the Board trusts that Government will make a special grant to clear off the deficit. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. . Geo. J. S. Bridge, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sib,— Education Board Office, Wellington, 24th April, 1901. I have the honour to transmit the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board for the year ended the 31st December last. The Boabd. —At the annual election in March twelve candidates were nominated. Two of the retiring members, Messrs. A. W. Hogg, M.H.E., and Mr. J. Young, were re-elected, Mr. John Kebbell being elected in place of the Rev. J. Paterson, who retired from the Board. Mr. Paterson was first elected a member of the Wellington Education Board in 1878. In consideration of his earnest assistance to the cause of education for twenty-two years the Board placed on record its high appreciation of his close attention to all matters affecting the Board's administration since its constitution, and its regret at his retirement. The Board has held twelve ordinary and one special meeting. Mr. Blair was unanimously re-elected Chairman, and continues the Board's representative as a School Commissioner under the Education Eeserves Act. Teachers.—The teaching staff at the close of the year consisted of 65 heads of schools, 82 sole teachers, 98 assistants, 159 pupil-teachers, and 14 sewing teachers : total 432 —129 males and 303 females. Pupil-teachees.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December, the subjects of examination being reading, writing, English (parsing, analysis, and composition), geography, school management, science (physiology and health), drawing, and one optional subject for the senior pupil-teachers (Euclid, algebra, Latin, or French). Of the fifty-eight examined, two were not classified on account of very unsatisfactory reports —these have since retired ; forty-five were recommended for promotion. The examination was conducted on papers set by the Education Department. The classification shows seventy ex-pupil-teachers, twentynine fifth year, twenty fourth year, sixteen third year, thirteen second year, and one first year pupil-teacher. Schools. —During the year new schools have been opened at Ngakonui and Mangarama, and the schools at Te Mai, Woodhurst, Wharau, Wamuioru, and Kaitoke closed. The 147 schools open at the end of the year are arranged on the basis of average attendance as follows : Under 15 pupils, twenty-three ; 15 and under 20 pupils, seventeen ; 20 and under 25, twelve ; 25 and under 50, forty-two; 50 and under 75, sixteen; 75 and under 100, eight; 100 and under 150, ten; 150 and under 300, eight ; 300 and under 500, six ; 500 and upwards, five. Attendance.—ls,los children were on the books at the end of the March quarter, with an average attendance of 12,652. In June the numbers had fallen to 14,858 on the books, with an average attendance of 12,286. September quarter showed an improvement to 15,042 on the books and 12,618 in average attendance. December returns showed a serious falling-off, the roll-number decreasing to 14,667, and the average attendance to 12,345. There were therefore 101 fewer children on the books at the end of the year than in December, 1899; but the average attendance had increased by 326. Maori and half-caste children were attending at twenty-nine schools, the totals being : Maoris, 119; half-castes living in Native fashion, 21; half-castes living in European fashion, 61. Scholarships.—The annual examination of candidates for scholarships was held in October by the Board's Inspectors. One hundred and seventy-nine candidates presented themselves for examination, and scholarships were awarded to ten boys and eleven girls. Buildings.—The principal items of expenditure on account of school buildings were : Kaitawa, new residence ; Nikau, new school; Horoeka, new school ; Manuhara, new school; Rakaunui, new school; Huia Road, new school; Bideford, new school and residence ; Mangamaire, new school and site for same ; Saunders Road, new school; Hutt, new site; Thorndon, new school; Island Bay, new school; Northlands, new site. The old portion of the Newtown School will shortly have to be rebuilt, and considerable alterations made to other parts of the main building. The cost of rebuilding the Thorndon School, which was destroyed by fire, is being borne by the Government. The annual vote for buildings, amounting last year to £5,050, is quite inadequate to enable the Board to deal satisfactorily with the requirements of the district. Reconstruction, rebuilding and additions are urgently required at Newtown, Karori, Wadestown, Levin, Carterton, Kilbirnie, Hutt; and the majority of the 145 schools, being constructed of wood, require painting and repairs, and it is very bad economy to allow them to continue in such a neglected state. The question will have to be faced sooner or later, and the longer the delay the greater will be the amount of money required to place them on a reasonably satisfactory footing. The lowest estimate to do this at the present time amounts to between £13,000 and" £14,000. Truancy.—During the year the Truant Officer has called on 912 parents, representing 1,074 children, and warned them of the irregular attendance of their children. Satisfactory attendances have been made in most instances, but it was found necessary to take proceedings against fifty parents, who could not otherwise be brought to see the necessity of sending their children to school. Judgment was given in forty-seven cases, and fines amounting to £8 75., with £12 6s. costs, were inflicted by the Court. In forty-seven cases children have been found who were not receiving any education : forty-one of these were sent to public schools and six to private schools. Strict instructions have been given to the Truant Officer to avoid proceedings against parents except as a last resort, his duty being to prevent truancy where possible, and always to point out to parents and pupils the great benefits they were failing to appreciate, and the permanent loss such disregard would cause to the pupils in their after life. The result of this action, taken promptly, has invariably been the means of preventing the necessity for any further steps. Drill. —Early in the year the drill-instructor resigned his position to accept an office under the Defence Department. The position has not been filled up. Classes for drill instruction to teachers have been instituted and are largely taken advantage of by both sexes, the model rifles being used by the lady teachers. No doubt a great inducement for teachers to attend drill classes in Wellington is the advantage of free railway-tickets provided by the Education Department, who have also arranged for the instruction being given by one of the drill-instructors of the Defence Department. Drill in the city schools is taken by an instructor from the Permanent Artillery.

E.—l

Technical. —The report of the Director of the Technical School contains the fullest information. The growth of the different classes calls for more adequate accommodation in several branches, and hopes are entertained that arrangements under the Act of last session will enable this to be done. The results of the South Kensington examinations fully maintain the high standard attained by the students. The shrinkage in the Board's main source of revenue now renders it imperative that some means should be devised to relieve its finances from the severe strain of maintaining this institution out of its ordinary revenue. The Director is very hopeful that the legislation of last session of Parliament will enable this to be achieved. School Inspection.—From the annual report of the Inspector of Schools it will be seen that the whole of the schools under the Board's control have been examined, and that eight Boman Catholic schools were examined and inspected. The roll-number taken at examination dates was 15,211, an increase of 238, the number presented in standards being 9,875, an increase of 129. The freedom of classification in Standards I, to V. by head teachers has made but little difference in the grading of pupils, the number promoted in these standards being about the same as the number passed the previous year at the Inspectors' examinations. Eighty-one schools are classed as satisfactory, fifty-one as fair, and thirteen as inferior. The attendance at thirty-five schools is very unsatisfactory, which is considered to be largely the result of the dairy industry, in connection with which children work long hours outside their ordinary school hours, by which their energies for mental work are seriously impaired. The infant work continues to make satisfactory progress. Brushwork, paper flower making and playground exercises, with suitable songs, are special features of the best schools. In the eight Eoman Catholic schools 1,112 children were presented for examination, of whom 659 were classed in standards, and of this number 558 were promoted. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. E. Blair, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, Ist March, 1901. I have the honour to forward the following report of the proceedings of the Hawke's Bay Education Board for the year 1900 : — The Board. —The Board consists of the following members: Eev. Dr. Sidey (Chairman), Messrs. C. A. Fitzroy, J. G. Gilberd, W. L. Knight, S. McLennon, T. Tanner, J. C. Westall, S. Johnson, and Captain W. E. Eussell, M.H.E. School Attendance.—The average attendance was 6,654, the average weekly roll-number being 8,012. Schools and Eesidences. —Three new schools have been opened during the year—viz., Ngapaeruru, Waipatiki, and Dannevirke side school. The first two are aided schools. By the regulations of this Board the inhabitants of a district where an aided school is sanctioned are required to erect their own buildings, while the Board furnishes desks, blackboards, maps, &c. The side school at Dannevirke has been erected at the southern end of the town, to meet the wants of a large and expanding population in that part, as well as on the blocks of land in its immediate neighbourhood. This school is already overcrowded, and will require to be enlarged in the immediate future. A new school was erected early in the year at Omahu and is well attended ; more than two-thirds of the pupils are Natives. The school at Kaikora, which was destroyed by fire, has been rebuilt on a new site. A teacher's residence at Te Karaka, Poverty Bay, has been erected to replace one that had fallen to pieces through decay. New residences have been erected at Mangatua, Matamau, Onga Onga, and Patutahi, and various additions made to others.

E.—l

The grants made by the Department for schools at Mohaka, Nuhaka, and Waipiro have not yet been expended. The delay in the case of Mohaka arises from the extreme difficulty in securing a title to the two acres agreed to be given by the Natives for this school. It is now proposed to acquire the land through the Public Works Act. The Nuhaka vote has not been expended for the reason that the settlers could not be brought to agree on a site. Pending this result a school has been opened in a hired building in the district. The Waipiro building simply awaits the defining of a site by the Government surveyors, who are working on the block. School Committees.—The Board has pleasure in reporting that the most cordial relations continue to exist between itself and the School Committees. Apart from some grumbling on the part of a few of the Committees—that the Board does not provide for certain necessary requirements, which, it must be admitted, is not wholly without cause—there has been no complaint from any Committee, Even in the matters referred to it is generally admitted that the Board has done its utmost to meet all cases from the means placed at its disposal. The schools have been repainted during the last two years, and consequently have a much brighter appearance'than they have had for years before. Several Committees have subsidised the Board's grants, and thereby enabled much needed work to be proceeded with which otherwise could not have been done. Besidents in districts in which aided schools have been established have contributed during the year the sum of £106 11s. Bd. towards teachers' salaries. Pupil-teachees.—The regulations for the training of pupil-teachers and for the conduct of the Training School have undergone some modification during the year. They are now regarded as fairly satisfactory. Eesults clearly foreshadow that the hopes entertained by the Inspector of Schools when he recommended the establishment of the Training School, will be amply realised in the increased fitness of the young teachers for their future calling. Technical Education.—The Board has not been able as yet to make any real advance in this branch of school work. Drawing classes have been set up in various schools in the district, and arrangements made for the instruction of the ex-pupil-teachers attending the Training School and the pupil-teachers generally, under the care of Mr. E. N. Anderson. For these services the Board has voted a sum of £50 for the year. Toward the close of the year the Board received copies of the new Act passed by the last Parliament for the conduct of manual and technical classes, and at once set itself to ascertain how far it could take advantage of the same. It was felt that there might be some difficulties in carrying out the provisions of the Act, and the question was left open for more serious consideration in the year to follow. Scholarships.—There are forty-three scholarship holders from the public schools attending the Napier High School and Gisborne District High School. Six of the scholarships were of the value of £50 per annum each; nine of £30 each; one of £30 45.; one of £20 45.; two of £16 4s. each; one of £16 ; eleven of £12 4s. each ; and thirteen of £10 4s. each. The larger scholarships are granted to children from the country districts. The total of the scholarships granted amount to £907 45., a portion of which is provided by the School Commissioners. Only three scholarship holders have left during the year. The account of the Board's income and expenditure for the year, duly audited by the Government Auditor, is appended hereto. The amount paid for teachers' salaries, &c, was £20,872 14s. ; the amount paid to School Committees, £2,335 75.; and the amount expended on purchase of school sites, erection of school buildings, repairs, &c, £5,234 7s. 6d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. David Sidey, Chairman.

REPORT ON GISBORNE DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL.

The class is of uneven quality. The first four pupils are strong workers, the algebra especially being particularly well done. Half the pupils fell below "fair" in arithmetic, and composition needs much extra care and attention ; it would be well to provide for more time in the preparation of this subject. In the English subjects the test showed very fair preparation, but the pupils appear to be afraid to express their own views and feelings upon subjects they have prepared. Greater individuality should be encouraged, and the instruction given should foster the critical faculties of the children. As a whole, a wide course of instruction has been taken, but only four of the pupils are of good quality. The errors in spelling are unusually numerous, and two pupils wrote as follows: " When she seen this," "We seen his funeral" ! More attention should be paid to marks of punctuation.- Quotation marks were omitted generally and possessives seldom noted. These latter weaknesses exist outside the actual preparation of subjects. H. Hill, Inspector of Schools.

MAELBOEOUGH. g IB) _ Blenheim, 20th March, 1900. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year 1900. Boaed. —The Board at the beginning of the year consisted of the following persons—viz., The Hon. W. D. H. Baillie, M.L.C., and Messrs. Thomas Carter, D'Arcy Chaytor, John Duncan, Eichard McCallum, Charles Houghton Mills, M.H.E., William Benoni Parker, Joseph Henry Eedwood, and Arthur Penrose Seymour. The members who retired in March were Messrs. Chaytor, Duncan, and McCallum. The two last-named were re-elected, and Mr. Alfred Lichfield was chosen in the place of Mr. Chaytor, who was absent in South Africa. Early in the year the Board had the misfortune to lose one of its oldest and most valued members by the death of Mr. Thomas Carter, who had been almost continuously a member from the first formation of the Board. He has left a permanent memorial of his interest in education by furnishing the means of founding a scholarship in connection with the High School, in donating 3 acres of land adjoining the site, and £50 in money. The extraordinary vacancy caused by Mr. Carter's decease was filled by the election of Mr. A. G. Fell, a gentleman who has served the public in the same capacity on former occasions. The Board held thirteen meetings during the year, the average attendance at which was six. Schools. —Altogether there have been sixty-seven schools in operation during some portion of the year. Owing to the very low rate of pay attached to the numerous small household schools in the district, it is a constant occurrence to have schools vacant during a quarter of the year while trying to obtain fresh teachers. Nine of these schools have been closed for one-quarter of the year or more from this cause; but bad though this may be, as interfering with the progress of the children, it is at least better than leaving them entirely unprovided for.

and salaries that does not recognise the necessities of the remote settlers will fail to meet the most pressing needs of the very class that is doing so much towards the opening-up and the closer settlement of the waste places of the colony. I feel confident that the sympathies of the Government are entirely with the view taken by this Board with regard to the placing of some means of education within reach of every single child in the district, however far removed from the chief centres of population. The fact that of the sixty-seven schools that have been in operation during the past year as many as forty had an attendance of less than ten scholars, and that fourteen had less than five, is a sufficient proof that the requirements of the more closely settled districts have not been allowed to override those of the remote and thinly populated parts of the country. Whatever may be the case elsewhere, the settlers in the Sounds County can be brought under the beneficent provisions of the Act only by means of household or aided schools ; and although the cost to the Board per head of these schools is largely in excess of that of the schools in more closely settled districts, it must be remembered that in all cases the cost of boarding the teacher is borne by the parents, and in a few some addition is made by the parents to the capitation allowed by-the Board. There are within this district forty-four schools having fewer than fifteen scholars on the roll, and, although nine of these were not open all the year, their cost in salaries only was £1,185, or about £4 ss. per head, in addition to blackboards, maps, and (in three cases) the cost of the materials for the school buildings, the erection being provided for by the parents interested. The outcry occasionally heard with regard to the insufficient representation of country schools on the Boards must, in view of the facts just mentioned, be regarded as quite inapplicable to this district. The members, having been elected by the Committees generally, have shown by their liberal treatment of the outlying and unrepresented districts that they have regarded themselves as trustees for the whole, and not for any particular portion, of the Education District. The new method of electing members of Boards, whilst more expensive and cumbersome than the old, can hardly prove more satisfactory, at least in this district. Attendance.— The average daily attendance for the years 1898,1899, and 1900 was 81 percent., 812 per cent., and 814 per cent, respectively of the roll-numbers, showing a gradual though slow improvement. The highest average given in the Minister's last report was 872 per cent., in the Grey District; and, with the assistance of the police in enforcing the provisions of the School Attendance Act, there is no reason why the average should not be as good in other districts. Salabies. —The working average attendance being the basis upon which the grant from Government is received, it is interesting to note the cost per head in salaries, especially in view of a proposed colonial scale. In 1899 the average cost per head in salaries for the whole of New Zealand was £3 6s. Bd. The average cost per head in Marlborough for the same year was £3 ss. Bd., and this notwithstanding the existence of so many small aided and household schools. Again, in the same year, there were altogether in the colony seventy-seven schools having an average attendance of 300 and upwards. The cost per head for salaries at these schools was £2 9s. 6fd. There is no school in Marlborough coming under this head, but the combined average attendance at the Blenheim boys' and girls' school amounted to 421, and the salaries paid to £1,067 —about £2 10s. Bd. per head, or Is. 1-J-d above the average of such schools. The average salaries of all teachers in the colony, according to the Minister's report for 1899, was £93 15s. od., and for the same year the average salary in Marlborough was £64 12s. 2d. The true significance of these figures will, no doubt, be fully considered when the Government is compiling the permanent scale of staffs and salaries for the colony. The Board trusts that the Government will adopt the recommendation of the Education Conference of 1899, to the effect that the annual payments to Boards be not less than £4 per pupil, and that the smaller districts receive " special consideration over and above the £4 capitation." Soholaeships.—The new scholarship regulations, rendered necessary by the establishment of a high school in Marlborough, were drawn up and submitted for the approval of the Department, and, after some alteration, were duly sanctioned. The first competition for the scholarships took place in December, the results of which will be found in the Inspector's report. There are still two scholarships current for the year 1901 at Nelson College, but henceforth all scholarships will be held at the Marlborough High School. The parent of the winner of one of the " country" scholarships, with rare generosity, offered to accept a " town " scholarship instead of that to which his son was entitled, so that others who, owing to the lowering of the age-limit, would not have another chance of competing might receive the benefits of secondary education. This enabled the Board to grant three extra scholarships this year, so that the number now current is ten, including two still held at Nelson College. Childben's Patbiotic Fund. —Acting upon a suggestion from the Otago Education Board, early in the year this Board afforded the school-children of Marlborough an opportunity of contributing their mites to this laudable object; and, although many of them had already contributed to the same fund under other forms, the sum of £24 7s. Id. was forwarded to the Colonial Treasury, being at the rate of 2fd. for every child on the roll. Considering the smallness of the district, and the fact that the majority of the parents of the children are far from wealthy, the Board considers that they have shown their patriotism in a very creditable manner. Side School. —In response to a petition from parents in the outskirts of Blenheim, the Board resolved to try the experiment of a side school to the Blenheim Borough School, at Eedwood Street, near the southern boundary of the school district. Until the success or otherwise of this school is established the Board has rented a cottage for one year, and fitted it up for the purpose; and, should the result be satisfactory, the question of procuring a site and erecting a small building to accommodate children too young to attend with regularity at the main school will be taken into consideration. Buildings.—At the end of the year 1899 the Building Fund was in debt to the General Fund to the extent of £1,623 6s. lid. This balance was reduced by the receipt, in the month of January,

E.—l

1900, of the sum of £900. A further grant in aid of school buildings in the newly settled districts of Starborough and Eichmond Brook, amounting to £550, was received in April. ' Contracts were let for the following works : Teacher's residence, Blind Eiver, £196 155.; new school, Eichmond Brook, £317 165.; new school, Starborough, £413; teacher's residence, Eenwick, £377 18s. An application was received and forwarded to the Department for the erection of a school and teacher's house at Eai Valley out of the provisions made for schools in newly settled districts. No reply has been received to this application, but the matter being urgent the Board made arrangements for the erection of a temporary school (to be afterwards utilised in the erection of a residence) for the sum of £40, to which some addition for furniture will be required. These, together with smaller repairs, furniture, &c, left the Building Account at the close of the year still in debt to the General Account to the extent of £228 18s. lid. Shorthand Classes.—Notwithstanding the refusal of the Government to continue the subsidy on these classes under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, the Board, believing that to discontinue them at that time would be virtually wasting the money already expended, decided to continue them until the end of the year 1900, to enable the students to derive fuller advantage from them than would have been possible if they had terminated with the Government grant. Several of the students have since obtained certificates of proficiency, and all have greatly benefited by the instruction received, and are now sufficiently advanced to make further progress unassisted. Perhaps under the new regulations the Board may again take up the subject. Colonial Scale of Staffs and Salaries.—Although not coming strictly within the limit of the transactions of the year to which this report refers, the Board desires to express its opinion that in framing a colonial scale the average attendance, as being the measure both of the work to be done and of the responsibility incurred, is the only basis upon which a satisfactory scheme can be built, and that the recognition of the teacher's certificate should be separately provided for. At the same time, the Board fully concurs with the Department in the proposed assigning of minimum certificates to schools of different magnitudes and importance. The Inspector's report, which is forwarded with this, will supply the information usually required by the Department. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. A. P. Seymour, Chairman.

NELSON. Sir, — Education Office, Nelson, 14th March, 1901. 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 1900. Members of the Board.—There has been no change in the personnel of the Board during the year, the retiring members having been re-elected. The following persons constitute the Board—viz., Messrs. Philip Best, William Loch, William Henry Phillips, Thomas John Baigent, William Norris Franklyn, Andrew Thomas Maginnity, Thomas Bailie, John Deidrich Beuke, and George Talbot (Chairman).

E.—l

Meetings of the Boaed.—During the year the Board has held twelve monthly, twelve adjourned, and one special meeting, the average attendance at each being 768. The October meeting of the Board was held in Westport, seven members again being able to attend. Members of the Board visited the schools at Granity Creek, Burnett's Pace, Waimangaroa, Cape Foulwind, and Denniston, the immediate outcome of the inspection of the latter school being a resolution to erect a new and more commodious one in a more favourable and central position at the earliest possible date. Westport Disteict High School. —The secondary classes of this school continue to do very satisfactory work. The number of pupils on the roll at the beginning of the year was twentyfive, and at its close twenty-six, the average for the year being being 255. Schools.—There were 127 schools at work during the year, and at the end of the year 124. Of the latter number, twenty-one were aided schools, with an average attendance at each of 152, and twenty-three were household schools, the average attendance at each being 55. Aided schools in this district are.managed by committees elected by the parents, and are carried on and treated exactly like district schools, the committees receiving the same quarterly allowances as committees in school districts, the only difference between the two being that aided school committees have no voice in the election of members of the Board. However, when an aided school has shown an average attendance of twenty or more for two successive quarters, a school district is usually constituted. School Disteicts.—One new school district has been constituted during the year—viz., Orinoco—which brings the total number up to sixty-seven. Attendance of Scholaes. —The average weekly number on the roll during the year 1899 was 5,913 ; during the past year it was 5,84475 : a decrease of 6825. The working average attendance during 1899 was 4,90075, and during the past year 4,84475, a decrease of 56. The continual fall in the average attendance, and the consequent shrinkage of the Board's income, is causing serious inconvenience, and is a matter for grave anxiety. School Buildings.—During the year no new school has been erected, but additions have been made to those at Dovedale and Progress. New houses have been built at Waimea West and Clifton Terrace, to replace old ones which, having been standing some fifty years, had become, by reason of the rotten state of the timber of which they were constructed, quite insanitary and unfit for habitation. Additions have been made to the teacher's house at Capleston, and £500 has been paid off' the debt on the site of the Central School in Nelson, while no less than £753 has been expended in smaller additions and general repair and upkeep of the Board's numerous wooden buildings. Boaed's Funds.—The balance to credit of the Board's General Account at the beginning of the year was £139 4s. 3d., with liabilities £192 45.; at its close there was a debit balance of £471 15s. 9d., with liabilities £144 Os. 10d. The Building Account at the beginning of the year had a credit balance of £1,480 145., with liabilities, inclusive of the debt on the Central School site, of £1,311 13s. 3d. ; at the end of the year the credit balance was £1,790 Bs. lid., and the total liabilities £2,181 13s. However, the building grant for the year, amounting to £2,000, had not then been received. I have &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Geo. Talbot, Chairman.

SECONDARY CLASS (WESTPORT DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL). Examined 6th and 7th September, 1900. Mr. D. Strachan, M.A. On roll, 24; present, 21.

The scholars here again acquitted themselves very creditably, the few poor papers which were sent in being almost always the work of irregular attendants or of new-comers. Of the twenty-one pupils who were present, only eleven had belonged to the school at the previous examination. The following were the subjects, with the average marks of the class in each : algebra, 63 ; arithmetic, 79; Euclid, 76; Latin, 69; English, 72; dictation, 67 ; geography, 67 ; science (elementary chemistry), 50. The general work was decidedly good in every subject, except science, which brought forth some very meagre papers, though five of them were very good, one of them obtaining 96 per cent, and one 91. In arithmetic the usual Sixth Standard tests were applied, except in the case of one pupil, who was doing more elementary work. The results were very good, five pupils obtaining full marks and none doing badly. The Euclid was also good, the upper division taking Books I. and 11., and one pupil Books 111. and IV. as well. In English a wider course of study, including the greater part of Shakespeare's King Lear and Scott's Ivanhoe, had been successfully covered, and the spelling of which we complained last year showed very marked improvement. The Latin was also very satisfactory, the upper division having read the whole of the Principia, Part 1., and a part of Part 11. Several of the pupils are preparing for the Matriculation Examination at the end of this year. G. A. Haekness, Inspector.

GEEY. Sib, — Education Board Office, Greymouth, 31st March, 1901. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Grey Education Board for the year 1900. The Board. —The members who retired on the 31st March last were Mr. Kerr, Mr. Kettle, and Mr. White. At the election to fill the vacancies thereby constituted, the three retiring members were re-elected. On the 15th November, after a long and painful illness, Mr. Eichard Nancarrow, one of the oldest members of the Board, passed away—a loss that was deeply felt, not only by his colleagues, but by all with whom he was brought in contact, for his sterling worth and many good qualities. Mr. Nancarrow always took a keen interest in educational matters and was for several years Chairman, and also Treasurer, to the Board. At the election held on the 19th December to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Nancarrow's death, Mr. J. McCarthy was elected. The Board, at the close of the year, therefore, consisted of Messrs. John Byrne, John Flynn, S. E. Harris, Hon. James Kerr, M.L.C., W. E. Kettle, James Marshall, Jeremiah McCarthy, Joseph Petrie, and Frank White. During the year the Board has held twelve regular and one special meetings. Schools. —There were thirty schools in operation at the close of the year, being an increase of two on the previous year. The teachers in the employ of the Board comprised fourteen males and forty-six females, or a total of sixty. These were classified as follows : Principal teacher, 1; head of department, 1; head of school, 7 males and 2 females; sole teachers, 2 males and 18 females ; assistants, 2 males and 13 females ; pupil-teachers, 2 males and 12 females. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December. Eight pupils were examined, all of whom qualified themselves for a higher grade. Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held in December. For the four scholarships —two town and two country—there were nineteen competitors. Finance. —At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a debit balance of £68 16s. sd. The amount expended during the year, including special grants of £200 for Dunganyille School,

WESTLAND. g IB) Hokitika, Bth January, 1901. I have the honour to submit the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1900. The Boaed. — At the end of March Messrs. Grimmond, Staines, and Cumming retired and were re-elected. At the succeeding meeting the following appointments were made : Mr. McWhirter, Chairman ; Mr. Chesney, Treasurer; Mr. Grimmond, School Commissioner ; Mr. Michel, representative on the Hokitika High School Board. During the year one special and twelve ordinary meetings were held. Schools. —During the year thirty-six schools have been in operation, the increase being due to the establishment of a school at Awatuna and the reopening of household schools at Taipo and Karangarua. In addition to the ordinary primary work, the secondary class of the Hokitika District High School (with twenty-seven pupils) and the class for manual instruction connected with the Kumara School (with twenty-four pupils) have been maintained, each with success. Separate reports on these classes are presented. Attendance. —The total roll for the district at the end of the year was 1,279, a decrease of thirteen. The average attendance was 86-4 per cent, of the average roll numbers. Although this proportion for the whole district is very satisfactory, it was found necessary in the Kumara, Jackson's, Arahura Eoad, and Kokatahi School Districts to take special action, with the aid of the police, to induce the parents to reduce the irregularity of the attendance, In Kumara informations were laid against several parents, and fines were inflicted by the Magistrates. The action of the Board has produced a considerable improvement in each of the districts mentioned.

Teachebs. —The number of teachers under the Board at the end of the year was fifty-seven, including nine head teachers, twenty-seven sole teachers, eleven assistants, and ten pupil-teachers. One of the assistants is employed in place of a pupil-teacher at a salary of a fourth-year pupilteacher. Scholaeships.—During the year seven scholarships have been in force, all the holders attending the secondary class of the Hokitika District High School. In addition seven have attended the same class on payment of half the usual fee, in consideration of having qualified at a previous examination by securing 60 per cent, of the total marks. At the examination held at the end of the year there were twenty-four candidates, of whom seventeen obtained the requisite number of marks to qualify for a scholarship. The three heading the list have been awarded scholarships tenable for two years, two of £17 10s. and one of £8. Finance. —During the year the Board has expended £604 4s. 9d. in connection with the Building Fund. The receipts consist of the ordinary vote of £750 and a vote for schools in newly settled districts of £137. A credit balance of £246 15s. 4d. is shown by the balance-sheet, but considerable expenditure has been authorised but not presented for payment at the end of the year. The General Account shows a debit balance of £166 11s. 7d. As the debit balance at the end of the previous year was £209 2s. 2d., and the Board has received a special grant for district high schools of £200, the net result of the year's operations is a loss of £157 9s. sd. It has been sufficiently demonstrated in previous reports of the Board that the salaries of teachers and other expenditure have been reduced as much as possible, and that the cause of the difficulties experienced lies in the large proportion of aided schools. While the Board is grateful for the special assistance received during the year, the members hope that a general scheme will be adopted whereby an equitable distribution of the capitation will be provided. I have, &c, John McWhirter, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

REPORT ON THE HOKITIKA DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL. This class is composed of twenty-seven pupils, including eleven in the first year, nine in the second year, and seven in the third year. Of those in the first and second years seven are holders of scholarships under the Board, and one of these holds a scholarship under the Victoria College, Wellington. The number of pupils receiving instruction in the various subjects is as follows :—

Three pupils in the third year and one in the second were absent during part of the time occupied by the examination, owing to attendance at the Matriculation Examination. Opportunity was found, however, to test these in Latin, algebra, and Euclid. The general result of the year's work is very satisfactory. The syllabus of instruction in the various subjects has been sufficient, and, with very few exceptions, the pupils exhibited, in each branch, a commendable amount of knowledge of the course studied. The number of weak papers — i.e., with less than 50 per cent, of marks—are : Latin, one ; algebra, one ; English, two ; Euclid, one ; arithmetic, five; geography, one. On the other hand, over 90 per cent, of marks was obtained in the following number of papers: Latin, 9 ;-algebra, 17; English, 6 ; Euclid, 8 ; arithmetic, 4; geography, 4. The average results in arithmetic are fairly satisfactory, while the remaining compulsory subjects have been very thoroughly prepared. In English the course is an extensive one, including grammar, composition, and the study of the text set for the year—namely, The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Browning), and Macbeth (Shakespeare), besides figures of speech by the second- and third-year pupils. This wide course has been intelligently studied and very evident interest has been taken in its preparation. Of the optional subjects, the results are—in French, good, and in chemistry, satisfactory. No pupils have taken the course of book-keeping. A. J. Morton, Inspector.

NOETH CANTBEBDEY. Sib,— Christchurch, 27th February, 1901. 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 31st December, 1900 : — The Boaed.—The three members who retired at the end of March, 1900, were Mr. Buddo, Mr. Munnings, and Mr. Eennie, of whom Mr. Munnings did not offer himself for re-election. At an election held on the 7th March Mr. Eennie, Mr. Buddo, and Mr. D. McMillan, jun., were elected. The Board held nineteen meetings during the year, of which one was a special meeting. The Boaed's Eepeesentativbs. — Mr. G. H. Saxton was re-elected a member of the Akaroa High School Board, Mr. Andrew Orr and Mr. Donald Williamson members of the Ashburton High School Board, and Mr. Hugh Boyd member of the Eangiora High School Board. During the year Mr. Saxton resigned his position on the Akaroa High School Board, and Mr. W. H. Montgomery was appointed to the vacancy. Mr. Buddo continues to represent the Board as a Commissioner of Education Eeserves. Buildings.—During the year 1900 new schools were built at Birch Hill, Hundalee, and Omihi, and teachers' houses at Domett, Port Eobinson, and Spottswood. An addition was made to the master's house at Tai Tapu, and at Christohurch West a new caretaker's house was erected, the old building having become unfit for habitation. Of the works authorised towards the close of the year, a new school at Hanmer Plains, teachers' houses at Lowcliffe, Euapuna, Eyreton, and ■ Okain's Bay, and a large addition to the Addington School, have been put in hand. The total expenditure on buildings during the year was £7,294 7s. 9d., an amount £579 in excess of the grant received from the Government. Necessary repairs and renovations absorbed a large portion of the building grant. In this latter respect the demands on the Board's funds are naturally increasing year by year, in proportion to the number of wooden buildings to be maintained, some of which, owing to the decayed state of the timber, are quite past repair. Towards the end of 1900 the master's house at Euapuna and the roof of the French Farm School were destroyed by fire. In connection with the application already made for a refund of the cost of rebuilding, it may be pointed out that it is now fourteen years since the Board received a grant for making good damage caused by fire. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including eighteen aided schools, was 202, classified as follows : Under 15 pupils (of which eleven were aided scbools), twenty-three ; 15 and under 20 pupils (four aided), twenty-two ; 20 and under 25 pupils (two aided), tweny-two ; 25 and under 50 pupils (one aided), sixty-six ;50 and under 75 pupils, eighteen; 75 and under 100 pupils, seventeen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, nine ; 150 and under 300 pupils, twelve ; 30Q and under 500 pupils, nine ; 500 and upwards, four. Maintenance. — The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances amounted to £52,320 2s. lid., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £6,669 12s. Id., making a total of £58,989 15s. The working average for the year was 16,741, but the average of the four quarters, commencing with the December quarter of 1899, on which payments were actually made, was 16,780. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was, therefore, £3 2s. 4Jd., and the cost of maintaining the schools, including incidental expenses, £3 10s. 3fd. per head. Tbachbbs.—The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1900 (besides forty-four sewing mistresses and one temporary part-time teacher) was 494. Of these, 228 (142 males and 86 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge ; 158 (37 males and 121 females) were assistants ; and 108 (21 males and 87 females) were pupil-teachers. During the year there has been a further decrease in the number of pupil-teachers, a circumstance which can hardly fail to give satisfaction to the comparatively large number of certificated teachers now seeking employment. Noemal School.—The number of students in training at the Normal School during the year was forty-two (including nine of the second year) ; of, these fifteen were males and twenty-seven females Of the twenty-two students who entered for the Matriculation Examination twenty passed. Full information upon the work of the training department is given in the Principal's report, appended hereto. In its annual report of 1899 the Board emphasized the need of an

E.—l

increased grant for the training of teachers, and urged upon the Minister the claims of the Christchurch Normal School. It is understood that the matter is still under consideration by the Government, and that the Board will obtain a proportionate amount of the increased vote passed by Parliament during last session. Inspection.—The Inspectors' annual report gives information as to the number of children examined and their general proficiency in the several subjects; it also comments favourably on the use the teachers have made of the amended regulations respecting the classification of pupils. The Inspectors are of opinion that the standard of proficiency adopted in individual subjects has been essentially honest, as well as sound, in ■ the main. In one important respect, however, the alteration has not worked out satisfactorily. In its annual report for 1899 the Board questioned the wisdom of reducing the " pass " subjects to five, and of accepting work of the next lower standard in two out of that number. In determining the status of pupils the absence of definiteness in the standard specified by the regulations has been a source of embarrassment to the Inspectors, whose illustration of what may be termed the uncertain value of a Fifth Standard certificate serves to add weight to the representations already made to the Minister on the subject. Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held on the 10th December, 1900, and three following days. The number of candidates examined for the junior scholarships was 125 (seventy boys and fifty-five girls); for the senior scholarships the number was twenty-one (thirteen boys and eight girls). Of the 125 candidates, sixty came from schools defined in the regulations as town schools, and sixty-five from schools defined as country schools. The sixty town candidates gained three of the thirteen junior scholarships awarded; while, of the ten successful country competitors, five did not require the year's advantage in age. There were ten entries for the two Gammack scholarships offered by the Board. Tbuancy and Irregular Attendance.—During the year, 241 parents or guardians were proceeded against for persistent contravention of the School Attendance Act. In 180 cases fines were inflicted, and in four cases the Court made orders to compel attendance. Of the remainder, fortyseven cases were dismissed and ten withdrawn. The Board, in its report of 1899, brought under the notice of the Minister several points in which improvement is desirable to insure the successful working of the Act. A reluctance on the part of a few Justices of the Peace to enter up convictions where a breach of the law has been committed has increased the difficulties under which the Truant Officer's duties are performed. Such interpretation of the law, however well-intentioned, can scarcely fail to encourage parents to neglect their children's welfare and to insure in the future a plentiful harvest of ignorance and crime. Military Drill. —In order to have section 85 of the Education Act more generally complied with, during the year the Board arranged with the Defence Department to hold teachers' military drill classes at Ashburton and Christchurch. The term commenced on Saturday, the 15th September, and, with some slight intermission, terminated on the 15th December. Twenty-two teachers attended the Ashburton class under Sergeant-Major Jones, which met twelve times, the number in average attendance being 1475. The Christchurch class, with Sergeant-Major Coleman as instructor, met thirteen times, the average being 8254 of the 106 teachers whose names appeared on the roll. Both instructors have reported favourably on the attention given and the aptitude shown by the teachers. The Board is convinced that nothing but good can result to teachers and children alike from its endeavour to carry out the Act, both in the letter and spirit, an endeavour which has been so well and so cheerfully supported by a large majority of the teachers who were thus, called upon to qualify themselves in the subject. The Board has applied to the Defence Department for the services of the sergeants-major for another term, to commence on the 2nd March. Teachers' Salaries. —The Board's new scale regulating teachers' salaries came into force on the Ist May, 1900. The continued decline in the attendance at the Board's schools makes it abundantly clear that the decision to reduce expenditure was not arrived at a moment too soon. At the end of the year 1900 the debit balance on the Maintenance Account stood at £2,158 14s. 5d., which, in view of the still falling attendance, will be difficult for the Board to wipe off, even with the most careful and economical management. The Board has always desired for its teachers a fair remuneration for their services ; in recent years its efforts in this direction have, however, been quite fustrated, owing to the limited means placed at the Board's disposal. The prominent part taken by the North Canterbury Board in the genereal endeavour to have the capitation grant raised to £4 has worked for good, inasmuch as during last session Parliament voted an additional ss. for teachers' salaries in respect of recent service. The Board, after anxious consideration, could not, however, support the method suggested by the Department for the distribution amongst the teachers of that special grant, and so the matter remains in abeyance. As regards the future, the Board will welcome any scheme which in its opinion will place the salaries of public school teachers on a satisfactory footing, and insure to Education Boards a sufficient sum to meet all other necessary expenditure. Fair salaries and sufficient incidental allowances are essentially necessary for the maintenance of the existing system of primary education, a system which undoubtedly has the support of a large majority of the people of New Zealand. Manual and Technical Instruction.—The manual-training classes at the Normal School and at Leeston have continued in operation during the year. The instructor reports that the quality of the work during 1900 was not below that of previous years. The classes were very successful in their competitions at the Canterbury and Ellesmere Agricultural and Pastoral Shows, also in the " workers' section " at the Jubilee Industrial Exhibition. The Board now has under its consideration the question of making further provision for manual and technical education in its district, rendered possible by the advantages offered under the Act passed during 1900. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. T. S. Weston, Chairman.

BEPOBT ON NOBMAL SCHOOL. Normal School, Christchurch, 27th February, 1901. The Christchurch Normal School began the year 1900 with thirty-two new students, of whom seventeen were females and fifteen males. Later on, another female student, who had passed through her pupil-teacher course under the Westland Board of Education, was admitted, but without being granted maintenance allowance. Two students of the previous year, who had withdrawn temporarily through ill-health, had their scholarships renewed for 1900. Four female students were retained for a second year, and on the making up of the new Seventh Standards in the boys' and girls' schools, after the annual examination of the practising department in July, three other of the previous year's students were brought back. This gave a total of forty-two students, of whom, however, one had to withdraw later on through ill-health. Of the four who were retained as second-year students, one studied for the D certificate, one took up a course at Canterbury College and passed the first-year examination there, and the other two took up other lines of educational work — e.g., cookery and School of Art work. Seven of the students entering at the beginning of the year had already passed the Matriculation Examination of the New Zealand University. Three of these had also secured their D certificate, and they accordingly carried on their studies entirely at Canterbury College, passed the first-year examination there, and also sat for the C certificate. Two others of them, who had received some exemptions towards the D Certificate, took our course of work at the Normal School in the subjects in which they had still to complete their D, and also attended Canterbury College and passed the first-year examination. One other student, though not matriculated, had already obtained his D certificate, and he too attended lectures at Canterbury College, and at the end of the year passed matriculation, and also sat for the C certificate. Of the three who thus sat for the C certificate, two passed Twenty-two students sat for the Matriculation Examination of the University, of whom twenty passed, including the one one specially referred to above. Thirty-five students sat for the departmental examination in classes D or E, taking either all the papers, or those necessary to supplement other examinations. Of these, twenty-eight passed wholly or in part, and seven failed. The three prizes in science given by the Education Department for competition among the D candidates of the colony, were this year all taken by our students. The male students attended the teachers' classes for military drill on Saturdays. In the practising department we have had one change : Miss McHafne gave up teaching, and Miss Glanville was appointed to succeed her. As in the previous year, the students went through a short course in the so-called "varied occupations" of kindergarten work, under Mrs. Bullock, the infant mistress, who showed much enthusiasm in this subject. And in consequence of our preparation for an exhibit in the kindergarten section of the Canterbury Jubilee Exhibition, more time than in former years was devoted to kindergarten in the infants' department, so that our students saw a good deal of what may be done in this line in an infant school. Still, to me it it is a matter for regret that time does not allow of more being done in this direction; but, as

E.—l

I pointed out in a previous report, we cannot arrange to give the students more time for kindergarten without cutting down the subjects that are compulsory in their examinations for certificates. The same holds good with regard to some other subjects that I should like to see included in the students' curriculum of studies; as, for instance, manual training and elementary agricultural knowledge. Of the former of these two subjects there is no need for me to speak; of the latter, I believe that in a few years' time, judging by the present indications of advance in education, it will be looked for as a subject in country schools. If, however, our students are taken through a reasonably good general course .in science, and if that course is not one of mere bookwork, but one that associates theory with experiment, and, in the case of the male students, with actual practical experimental work, we may hope that those of them who go to the country districts will be capable, later on, of acquiring, by reading and observation, such knowledge of the elementary principles of agriculture as will enable them to teach this subject to the upper standards in their schools. I should like to add that for years I have been fully aware of the deficiencies in the work of this Normal School, and of steps that might be taken towards practical improvement. I know, too, how desirous the Board is of forwarding the efficient preparation of the young teachers for their professional duties. But improvement is mainly a question of funds, and I have accordingly refrained from urging changes when it was clear that these would necessarily entail such increased expenditure as the Board could not be expected to face with the inadequate funds at its disposal.

SOUTH CANTEBBUBY. Sic, — Education Office, Timaru, 31st March, 1901. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year ending with the 31st of December, 1900 :— Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members: Mr. William Barker Howell, J. P. (Chairman), the Bey. George Barclay, J. P., Mr. John Talbot, J. P., Mr. George el. Hamilton, Mr. Peter Keddie, J. P., Mr, John Jackson, J. P., Mr. Daniel Newman Inwood, J. P., and Lieutenant-Colonel Walter M. Moore, J. P. ; Mr. James Stevens Keith having resigned in December, 1899. The three members retiring in terms of section 15 of the Education Act were Messrs. Talbot, Moore, and Keith. Six candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in February resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Talbot and Moore, and the election of Mr. Thomas Cheyne Farnie, M.A. At the meeting of the Board in April, Mr. William Barker Howell was re-elected Chairman. Mr. William B. Howell also represents the Board as one of the Education Beserve Commissioners. The Board held twelve ordinary meetings during the year, the average of attendance being 691. Schools.—At the close of 1900 there were sixty-eight full-time schools in the district, the classification of which was as follows : Under 15 pupils, four schools; 15 and under 20, six schools; 20 and under 25, eleven schools ; 25 and under 50, twenty-six schools ; 50 and under 75, nine schools ; 75 and under 100, four schools ; 100 and under 150, one school; 150 and under 300, three schools; 300 and under 500, three schools; 500 and upwards, 1 school. The number of aided schools included in the above is three. The number of schools open at the end of last year or during part of this year, but permanently closed before the end of this year, was one. There are ten Maoris or half-castes attending at three schools—viz., Morven, Albury, and Glenavy. PuPiL-TEACHBBS. —There were twenty-four pupil-teachers—eleven male and thirteen female— in the Board's service at the end of 1900. At the examination in June twenty-two pupil-teachers sat for examination. They were classed as follows: Fourth year—2 males, 2 females; third year —3 males, 7 females ; second year —2 males, 1 female; first year —4 males, 1 female. Twenty pupil-teachers passed and two failed. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examination took place on the 19th December, and extended to the 22nd December, 1900. The candidates were as follows: Seniors—Boys, 9 ; girls, 6. Juniors—Boys, 13 ; girls, 16. Distbict 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-two scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, and twenty-three at Temuka. The subjects taken were English, French, Latin, Euclid, algebra, heat, botany, and book-keeping. 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. Finance.—The Maintenance Account at the end of 1900 showed a credit balance of £19 2s. 6d., the Board having commenced the year with a debit balance of £176. The Building Account for the same period showed a credit balance of £458 9s. 3d., but although this was unexpended at the end of the year it was fully pledged. In fact, the Building Account was really overdrawn by upwards of £100. The Board has to thank the School Committees generally for the interest and attention they have given to the work and welfare of education in their respective districts. Two or three schools have had to be temporarily closed for short periods only, through a slight outbreak of diphtheria, but, as a whole, the children have been very healthy. The Board can congratulate itself on the cordial relations existing between the School Committees, the teachers, and the Board. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wμ. B. Howell, Chairman.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Education Office, Timaru, 22nd January, 1901. We have the honour to submit the following report on the higher work of the District High Schools: — Thirty-two scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, the subjects being English, Latin, French, Euclid, algebra, botany, and heat. Seven scholars were examined in seven subjects, sixteen in six subjects, eight in five subjects, and one in four subjects. Twenty-three scholars were examined at Temuka, the subjects being English, Latin, French, Euclid, and algebra. Instruction was also given in book-keeping, but this was not professed as a subject for examination. Nine scholars were examined in five subjects, five in four subjects, three in three subjects, three in two subjects, and one in one subject. The following tables show the subjects taught, the number of pupils examined, the marks gained by each class, and the amount of work done in each subject:—

Waimate. English. —ln view of the large amount of work professed by the two English classes, the appearance made in the written work by most of the pupils was decidedly creditable, the purely grammatical questions being, however, less satisfactorily answered than the rest of the work. The play for the year had not been so closely studied as on former occasions, several of the scholars, especially those of the junior class, having only .a very hazy conception of the meaning of the language, and showing little knowledge of the characters and incidents. Latin. —Only two pupils out of twenty-seven examined in Latin failed to obtain the proficiency certificates which are granted to those earning over 50 per cent, of the available marks ; and more than half the scholars earned over 70 per cent. In every stage the tests were of considerable difficulty, and this, combined with keen marking, gave double assurance that those who qualified for certificates had done a good year's work. Four or five scholars in the highest class gained the highly creditable average of 70 per cent, in a paper that included translations from Cicero and Virgil, sight translation from Caesar, questions in grammar, and Latin prose composition. French. —The prescribed work in French was very carefully prepared in every class, the high average marks obtained in papers that were of a severely searching character speaking well for the soundness of the teaching and for the diligence of the scholars. Euclid. —The general results in the advanced, second, and first (Section II.) courses were good, the propositions being thoroughly prepared, and the deductions being attacked with satisfactory success. In the first course (Section I.), while the majority submitted satisfactory papers, a good proportion of the pupils did not appear to understand clearly the reasoning of the propositions with which they were dealing. Algebra. —The papers set as tests in this subject, especially in the first course, were somewhat more difficult than those of former years; still, the results are highly creditable, only one pupil failing to obtain 50 per cent, of the possible marks. Heat. —Four papers were good, six were satisfactory, two were fair, and two were weak. Botany. —All the High School pupils were subjected to an oral examination in botany, and most of them showed keen interest in the lessons, and acquitted themselves most satisfactorily. The subject is dealt with in a thoroughly practical way. Temuka. English. —Eight papers were good, two were satisfactory, one was fair, and three were weak. Specially noteworthy were the essays, the correction of sentences, and the explanations of allusions and difficult passages in the selected play. Latin. —Work of exceptional accuracy was done by the highest class. In Sections I. and 11. of the first course the pupils made a satisfactory appearance, all but one obtaining certificates of proficiency. A junior class, composed, of pupils who had been less than half the year at work, showed themselves fully prepared in what they professed. French. —The scholars of the two upper classes in French did work of a very satisfactory kind, only one pupil failing to obtain 50 per cent, of the possible marks. In the lowest class, three pupils of which had been under instruction for less than half the session, two papers were very good, two were good, and two were moderate,

OTAGO. Sir,— Education Office, Dunedin, 30th March, 1901. 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 the proceedings for the year 1900 : — Boabd. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Messrs. John Macgregor, James Mitchell, William Snow, John McEae Gallaway, John J. Bamsay, Donald Borrie, Henry Harraway, James Sim, and Alexander Kyle. Messrs. Macgregor, Mitchell, and Snow retired in terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Seven candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in February resulted in the re-election of Mr. Mitchell, and the election of Mr. Thomas Mackenzie and the Bey. P. B. Eraser. In March Mr. Bamsay resigned his seat, and Mr. William Snow was elected to fill the vacancy. In May Mr. Gallaway resigned his seat, and Mr. William Nicolson was elected his successor. At the first meeting of the Board in April Mr. Harraway was elected Chairman. The Bey. William Hewitson, 8.A., and Mr. Bamsay 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 represents the Board as one of the Education Beserves Commissioners. The Board held twenty-four meetings during the year. Number of Schools.—At the close of 1899 there were 222 schools in operation in the district. No new schools were sanctioned or opened during the year. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 222, The following shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance : Under 15 pupils, thirty-two ; 15 and under 20 pupils, twenty-four ; 20 and under 25 pupils, sixteen; 25 and under 50 pupils, seventy; 50 and under 75 pupils, twentynine ; 75 and under 100 pupils, fourteen ; 100 and under 150 pupils, ten; 150 and under 300 pupils, eleven ; 300 and under 500 pupils, seven ; 500 and upwards, nine. Total number of schools open at close of the year, 222. Number of aided or subsidised schools included in above, two. Teachers.—There were in the Board's service on the 31st December 494 teachers, classed as follows: Heads of school, seventy-nine males; sole teachers, fifty-three males, ninety females; mistresses, seventy-nine ; assistants, forty-seven males, fifty-three females; pupil-teachers, twenty-five males, fifty-six females; teachers of sewing, twelve females. This shows an increase of two sole teachers, and a decrease of two heads of schools, four assistants, one pupil-teacher, and nineteen teachers of sewing—a total decrease of twenty-four teachers. Eegarding the decrease in the sewing teachers, it may be explained that at the beginning of the year the Board, through financial pressure, was obliged to revert to its former regulations, which provided that no such teacher would be allowed for a school having an average attendance below forty-one pupils. The readoption of this regulation entailed the dispensing with the services of more than half the number of sewing teachers then employed. Popil-teachers.—There were eighty-one pupil-teachers (twenty-five male and fifty-six female) in the Board's service at the end of the year. The examination of applicants for employment as pupil-teachers was held in December, when sixty-nine candidates (four boys and sixty-five girls) presented themselves. Out of this number fifty-one (three boys and forty-eighc girls) passed the prescribed tests, and three boys and eighteen girls received appointments. The Board has again to draw attention to the great disparity between the number of males and the number of females seeking admission through pupil-teacherships to the teaching profession in this district. Despite the fact that the annual salary of the male pupil-teacher is £10 more than that of the female, the candidates of the latter sex outnumbered the males this year by sixteen to one. In consequence of the dearth of male candidates a considerable number of appointments that should have been filled by males had to be conferred on females. Attendance.—The average for the last two quarters of the year has shown a slight improvement, and there are indications that the attendance throughout the district, which for the past five years has declined to an alarming extent, has reached its lowest point, and will now show a distinct, though perhaps very gradual, recovery. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of average weekly roll for the four quarters was 86-9—that is to say, that of the 20,463 children on the school rolls 2,680 (or ove"r 13 per cent.) were absent every school-day throughout the year. In 1899 the average percentage was 85-4, so that 1-5 per cent, represents the gain in regularity of attendance for the year just closed. Truancy. —From the following statement an estimate may be gained of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : Cases investigated, 534; notices served on parents or guardians under section 5 of "The School Attendance Act, 1894," 305; summonses served under section 5 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," 2 ; orders of the Court obtained under section 5, 2; penalty summonses issued under section 7 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894 " (dealing with, parents or guardians of children who had not attended school the number of times

E.—l

required by the Act), 61. Under the sixty-one penalty summonses there were forty-two convictions. Ten cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendants of exemption certificates, and nine cases were dismissed. The total amount of fines for the year was £4 4s. In accordance with section 7of the Act the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. It is, perhaps, useless to repeat the representations which have been made in previous years for amendment of the School Attendance Act. In the hope, however, that the Legislature may by reason of importunity be prevailed on to remove the apparent defects in the Act, and by so doing tend to make the efforts of Boards and Committees- for the suppression of truancy more fruitful of result than they are, these defects are again adverted to : (1.) The requirement of a higher ratio of actual attendance to possible attendance. (2.) The deletion from section 7 of the words " and being in good health," which would materially lessen the difficulty of securing convictions in many cases where the absence of the child from school is wholly unjustifiable. (3.) The amendment of sections 5 and 6 for dealing with truant-players who are not on the roll of any school, so as to prescribe similar procedure for both classes of truants. (4.) The penalties which the law allows to be imposed are too small to be salutary. The maximum fine that can be inflicted in any case of conviction is 25., no matter how manyprevious convictions have been recorded against the offender. Besides this, the present Act allows no costs against the negligent parent. A scale of penalties something like the following would have a salutary effect: For a first offence, 2s. ; for a second offence, ss. ; for subsequent offences, 10s., with costs at the option of the presiding Magistrate. The time limited under section 7 for the recovery of a penalty is too short: at least three months should be allowed. Scholaeships.—Twenty-one scholarships (eleven junior and ten senior) were awarded at the examinations in December. There were in all 133 competitors—ninety-eight for the junior and thirty-five for the senior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, two of the junior competitors and thirteen of the senior competitors gained sufficient marks to entitle them to free education at the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools for two years and three years respectively. This free education is conferred on the ten junior competitors who stand next on the list to those who gain scholarships, provided that they obtain at least 60 per cent, of the attainable marks. Free education for three years is conferred on all senior competitors, not being scholarship winners, who obtain at least 50 per cent, of the attainable marks. As there were only two junior competitors who qualified for free education last December, the High School Board decided to relax for this year the condition regarding the obtaining of at least 60 per cent, of the marks, and conferred free education on nine competitors who had failed to qualify for it. Forty-five junior competitors and two senior competitors were disqualified on account of failing to obtain at least 20 per cent, of the marks allotted to each subject. The amount expended on scholarships for the year was : Paid to scholarship holders, £1,194; examination expenses, £48 3s. 4d : total, £1,242 3s. 4d. There are at present twenty-five pupils receiving free education at the High Schools in Dunedin in connection with the scholarship scheme. Inspection.—The Inspectors report that they have carefully watched the operation of the new regulations ; they consider that they have well answered their purpose as tentative regulations; and they strongly urge that, by the permanent regulations, the standard pass should be abolished, and the standard syllabus lightened and made elastic. It would be well were the arithmetic and grammar lightened and made more practical. Teaining College.—The department has made liberal provision for introducing manual and technical instruction into the public schools. It is proposed to make grants in aid of buildings and apparatus, and to provide to a certain extent the cost of materials and the salaries of the teacheis. The greater part of the work must be done by the ordinary class teachers. To earn the grant for their schools the teachers must be properly qualified, and comparatively few of them have as yet the necessary qualifications. The Board again and again protested against being burdened with the cost of training teachers, not only for its own schools, but practically for the schools of the colony. It cannot assume the additional burden of training manual and technical instructors. The Board would urge upon the Government the necessity of increased grants being made to enable it to provide technical instruction at the Training College for young teachers, so as to qualify them for giving technical education in the schools of the colony. The cost of the institution for the year was—Salaries, £473 3s. Bd.; allowances to students, £382 10s.; incidentals, £14 9s. Bd.: total, £870 3s. 4d. Less Government grant for training of teachers, £300. Net cost, £570 3s. 4d. School of Act and Design.—The total number of students enrolled was 395. This total includes 104 students who attended the day classes, forty-one pupil-teachers, twenty-two students from the Training College, 184 students who attended the evening classes, and forty-four teachers and pupil-teachers who attended the Saturday classes. It is satisfactory to note that the attendance at the day and evening classes shows an increase of thirty on the total for the previous year. The cost of the school was—Salaries, £651 18s. 4d.; incidental expenses, £71 19s. : total, £723 17s. 4d. Less fees (five quarters), £406 15s. 6d., and Government grant under Manual and Technical Instruction Act, £174 16s. sd. : total, £581 11s. lid. Net cost, £142 ss. sd. Finance.—A certified statement of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is appended hereto. The sum expended in teachers' salaries was £56,945 ss. 4d.; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £4,600 19s. 9d.; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £4,649 19s. 6d. During the year the Board has maintained its effort to keep the staffs of the various schools in accordance with the scale. Of course, as must necessarily happen, there were a number of cases where the attendance for one quarter would be one or two below the number entitling the school to the services of a particular teacher, and for the succeeding quarter would be one or two over the 13— E. 1,

E.—l

number, never for two consecutive quarters falling sufficiently below the required number to warrant the Board in reducing the staff to the scale allowed. Other cases there were where the attendance over a considerable period was only one or two under the requisite number. These cases demand and have received from the Board special consideration. While adhering as closely as possible to the scale, the Board effected the necessary reductions with due deliberation, and exercised care that the withdrawal of the teacher or teachers should not, by disorganizing the staff of the school concerned, imperil the efficiency of the instruction imparted. In some cases a temporary teacher was granted to relieve the pressure on the staff, although the requisite attendance had not been maintained for the prescribed period. For the first time for some years the Board is able to report that its expenditure on maintenance has been kept within its receipts. Although the deficit is still heavy (about £2,750) the bank overdraft has been reduced by some £573 during the year. The Building Account was £2,639 9s. in credit at the end of the year, but there were liabilities for buildings considerably in excess of that sum. With the probability of a decided increase in the average attendance, and the certainty of the cost of secondary instruction at the District High Schools being wholly provided for by extra grants from the Government, the financial outlook of the Board is brighter than it has been for some years. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education. P. G. Pkyde, Secretary.

TBAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Normal School, Dunedin, 6th March, 1901. I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report of the Otago Training College for the year 1900. The following is the staff of the Training College: Mr. D. R. White, M.A., Principal; Mr. W. Gray, M.A., B.Sc, vice-principal; Mr. D. 0. Hutton, drawing master; Mr. A. M. Braik, teacher of singing; Miss S. Albert, teacher of sewing; and Mr. Hanna, teacher of gymnastics and drill. Miss L. A. Fitzgerald, who worthily discharged the duties of matron and sewing mistress in the institution for a quarter of a century, voluntarily resigned her position towards the close of the year. On leaving she was presented with several mementos of the esteem in which she was held by the staff, by present and past students, and by the pupils of the Practising School. The Board appointed Miss S. Albert to the vacant position. Although placed at a disadvantage in taking up the work so near the end of the year, she carried on the closing work of the session with interest and success. I have much pleasure in stating that the various members of the staff show a great interest in the work of the students and carry out their duties very efficiently. We enrolled twenty-one first year students, of whom fifteen had passed the usual pupil-teacher course of instruction ; the remaining six were admitted by examination. We had also ten second year students, making a total at the beginning of thirty-one, afterwards standing at twenty-seven, as follows: Second year students—two males, eight females; first year students—six males, fifteen females ; number left during the year—two males, two females ; number in attendance at the close of the session—six males, twenty-one females. The following constitutes the literary and technical course of instruction pursued at the Training College: (1) English language and literature; (2) history and methods of education; (3) science, theoretical and practical; (4) Latin, algebra, Euclid; (5) history and geography; (6) drawing; (7) musical study, method, and singing; (8) gymnastics; and (9) sewmg. The above course provides a fairly complete course of training. There are one or two other subjects which I should like to see added to the curriculum. One of these is kindergarten work. It is most important, I think, that, before leaving the Training College, our young teachers should have a thorough knowledge of kindergarten methods and principles, and to do this thoroughly we require the services of a skilful kindergartner —one who has been trained in modern methods and in modern institutions. Further, in view of the introduction of manual training into the public schools, it is most essential that our male teachers should have some training in this kind of work. I think I reported some time ago that in the Training College, Sydney, a skilled draughtsman and mechanic attends twice a week at the workshop attached to the College, and gives the male students the necessary practical instruction in this technical branch of work. Something of the kind should be done in connection with our work. I wish to call the Board's attention specially to these two subjects—kindergarten and manual work—to their importance in a fully equipped training college, and to the necessity for doing something to secure their introduction into our plan of study at an early date. The following is an epitome of the illustrative lessons given at the Training College: One-half of the available time is given to the literary and technical training of the students, and the other half to illustrative and model lessons. On an average each student gives at least twenty lessons on various subjects, and has besides an opportunity of observing and criticizing some thirty lessons given by his fellow students or members of the staff. To an intelligent student this course of training should prove invaluable. The following shows, in brief, the time-table work for _ the year: March word-building, reading; April—language exercises and routine of spelling-lessons; May—the principles and various systems of teaching writing, with illustrative and practical lessons; June—infant school arithmetic ; July—forty lessons in standard arithmetic classes ; August—grammar and composition, in which thirty-six lessons were given; September—conversational and object-lessons (every student gave at least one lesson on these subjects); Octoberdrawing lessons in Standard 11. ; November—geography, eighteen lessons; December—physical exercises under Mr. Hanna's supervision, and thirteen singing lessons in Standard 1., on the plan recommended by Mr. Braik, Concurrently with the preceding practical course of lessons lectures were given on the principles of teaching, methods of teaching, school organization, registration, and on the plan and arrangement of typical time-tables. In addition to the work the students gave a series of lessons -at the associated schools. Fifteen of the city and suburban schools are associated with the Training College. These afford a good field for the purposes of training

E.—l

and teaching. No trainee is ever sent to the particular school in which he or she was originally trained. The lessons given in the presence of the headmasters were word-building, reading, arithmetic, grammar, singing, physical exercises, and drill. The reports sent to me on the students' lessons by the headmasters take account of the students' manner, the order, and the attention of the class, and the methods employed in giving the lesson. The reports under each head may range from excellent to inferior. Summarising the total of the marks obtained this year, I find that some fifty bear the mark excellent, 126 very good, seventy-three good, twenty-one satisfactory, and seven moderate or inferior. The students are, I believe, always willing and ready to give their lessons, and equally anxious to secure a good report. Judging by the general tone of the reports, I believe they succeeded in carrying out their lessons with praiseworthy interest and enthusiasm. My thanks are due to the headmasters for their assistance in giving our pupilteachers a valuable training in work that can only be obtained by means of a system of associated schools. The second years students' course of practical work is not so continuous and effective as I should like to see it. I believe a better plan than the present would be to let them take the place of the Normal School pupil-teachers. In this way they would have a better opportunity of becoming stronger in discipline by having the control of classes for some considerable time. This would be a means of reducing the number of pupil-teachers, and would at the same time give a better training to those admitted to the College by the entrance examination. The work of the Model School proves both interesting and instructive to the students. I have been studying the work of the small schools very closely for the last five years, and every year I see more clearly the difficulty there is in modifying the methods of teaching adopted in large classes to the exigencies of a small school with its numerous small classes. I have been making a strenuous effort to overcome some of these difficulties, but much still remains to be done for our small schools, both in the range and number of the subjects of instruction, as well as in the training of our students in the best methods of teaching, before they can be said to reach a very high standard of efficiency. From time to time I have communicated with teachers in the country with respect to the organization of small schools, and with regard to the teaching of particular subjects, and by this means I have obtained information which, together with our own experiments, has enabled us year by year to do better work in our Model School. Twenty-one students presented themselves at the annual examination held by the Education Department. The examination was held in Dunedin in January of last year. Of the twenty-one students, thirteen secured a full D certificate, six a partial D, and two a partial E certificate. Only five students attended University classes this year—two first-year students and three secondyear. Miss Cunningham obtained first-class in senior English, Miss Hancock and Mr. W. H. Johnston kept terms in Latin and mathematics, Miss Ehoda Barr passed the first section of the B.A. degree, and Mr. John A. Hay passed the B.A. degree and obtained the Tinline scholarship of the New Zealand University for proficiency in English. The Board's Training College certificate implies a higher degree of technical skill than that issued by the central Education Department, especially in drawing, musical study, method, and singing, gymnastics, and physical drill. Only four students of 1899 succeeded in obtaining the Board's certificate. I hope for a much larger number each succeeding year. On the face of it, those who are holders of this certificate may be taken to be all round the best trained and most capable of our pupil-teachers, and I should like to see this fact recognised by the Board in making selections for appointments. D. E. White, M.A., Principal.

SOUTHLAND. Sib, — Education Office, Invercargill, 15th March, 1901. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Southland Board of Education for the year ended 31st December, 1900 : — The Boaed. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Mr. William Macalister, 8.A., LL.B. (Chairman), and Messrs. Alfred Baldy, John Cowie, George E. George, J. A. Hanan, M.H.E., D. L. Matheson, Thomas Mac Gibbon, George McLeod, M.A., and J. W. Eaymond. The retiring members were Messrs. Cowie, Macalister, and Matheson. The two first-mentioned gentlemen offered themselves for re-election, but Mr. Matheson intimated his intention to retire permanently from his position as a member of the Board. The election, as required by the Act, was held in the month of March. School Committees nominated six gentlemen to fill the vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of Messrs. John Cowie and William Macalister, and the election of Mr. J. C. Thomson, of Eiverton. In connection with Mr. Matheson's retirement, the Board unanimously adopted the following resolution : " Mr. D. L. Matheson having decided, after sixteen years' service, to retire from his position as a member of the Southland Education Board, the members desire to express and record their appreciation of the faithful and valued services which he has so long rendered to the Education District of Southland, their regret that his sound advice and kindly manner will be lost to them, and their hope that he may be long spared to continue to take an interest from an outside standpoint in the cause of education generally." At its meeting held on the 6th April the Board elected Mr. John Cowie to the position of its Chairman for the ensuing year. The Venerable Archdeacon Stocker (re-elected) and the Rev. J. Gibson Smith were appointed to represent the Board on the Southland High Schools Board of Governors; while Mr. Thomas Mac Gibbon (elected in 1899) continued his services as a member of the School Commissioners for the Provincial District of Otago. The Board continues to hold its ordinary meeting on the first Friday of each

E.—l

month, while the executive committee generally meets twice at regular intervals between Board meetings. By the executive committee the major portion of the routine work of the Board receives first consideration, thus lessening considerably the time that would otherwise be absorbed by the regular monthly meetings, and facilitating in a marked degree the conduct of its general business. During the year the Board held one special meeting and twelve ordinary meetings; and the executive committee met twenty-three times, the general attendance thereat being satisfactory in view of the absence of three of its members—two being absent on a visit to Great Britain, the other attending to his parliamentary duties at Wellington. In addition to the foregoing, several meetings of special committees were held, and these, along with the attendance at the regular meetings, constituted for the members of the Board a very busy year. Schools.—Under this heading there is little to report. The number of schools in active operation is 147, the same as for the preceding year—one school (Chatton Eoad) being closed for lack of attendance, another (in the newly settled district of Otapiri) being opened. It is a somewhat significant fact that, during the past two years, the progress in the matter of establishing new schools, which was for the preceding fourteen years so marked a feature in this Board's annual report, has been arrested. From this condition of affairs it may safely be inferred that the Southland Education District is now fairly well supplied with educational facilities for the instruction of its rising generation. Attendance of Pupils.—-In common with other parts of the colony, this district has to report a distinct decrease in the attendance at its public schools. It was reported last year that a slight decrease had taken place, but this year the falling-off is somewhat more marked, affecting as a necessary consequence the Board's financial position in a more serious degree than was noted last year. The average attendance for 1899 was 8,024, and for 1900, 7,924, a decrease of 100. The ratio of strict average attendance to average weekly roll number now stands at 81 - 6, a fairly satisfactory record when one takes into account the difficulties with which many pupils have to contend in rural and isolated districts where good roads—or, indeed, roads of any kind—are an unknown quantity. The average attendance at many —if not all—of the larger schools, where the environment is more distinctly favourable, might be much improved were parents to realise the immense advantage to be gained from a regular and systematic attendance of their children, and the serious handicap children without education will in future experience in the battle of life. It is but a truism to repeat that the experience of those engaged in the actual work of teaching is that more solid progress can be attained in two years of regular and uninterrupted study than in three years of desultory and spasmodic effort; more than this, the status and efficiency of the school as a whole are more seriously impaired by the prevalence of this evil than by all other adverse conditions combined. The services of the Board's Truant Officer have been retained, and the increased percentage of average attendance to roll number may, in part at least, be fairly attributed to the efforts of that official. This officer, in the execution of his duty, endeavours by moral suasion to induce parents to take full advantage of the benefits of our education system; failing success by that method of procedure, he exercises his privilege to compel attendance by legal process, in which latter alternative he is supported by the gentlemen who now occupy the Magisterial bench in this district. Were the provisions of the School Attendance Act somewhat more stringent in the matter of the fines which may be imposed for aggravated cases of neglect or defiance of the law, the possible good to be accomplished would be much increased. As the Act stands, there are many who do prefer to run all risk, and, if need be, pay the maximum penalty for its infringement, and, for the sake of a paltry gain, mar the prospects of those whose welfare ought to be their chief concern. The distance limit provided for in the Act might also with advantage be modified. The limit of compulsory attendance might very well be increased to, say, three miles for children between the ages of nine and thirteen years, the present limit, two miles, being retained for pupils who have not yet attained the lower age, and this Board is of opinion that the School Attendance Act should be amended accordingly. As the Act now stands, it forms a strong argument for the undue multiplication of small schools in sparsely populated districts. Teaching Staff.—There were in the service of the Board at the end of the year 237 teachers (including pupil-teachers), the sexes being about equally represented. The supply of fully qualified teachers still continues quite equal to the demand, as also is the supply of candidates (especially females) for entry into the lowest branch of the service, viz., the ranks of the pupil-teachers. For boys, the prospects of remunerative employment, as compared with other professions, do not seem sufficient to induce many to enter the service, and for this reason, if for no other, it is to be hoped that with the introduction of a colonial scale of salaries the position of teachers financially may be considerably improved. It is unquestionably true that, while the staffs of the more important schools may receive fair remuneration, the profession is, as a whole, decidedly underpaid. At present, for every boy desirous of entering the service there are at least six girls, though the percentage of boys to girls actually on the Board's staff is higher than has been the case for years past. At one time the numbers were as six girls to one boy ; now the proportion is as eight to three, a very encouraging feature. PuPiL-TEACHBES. —In the service of the Board at the close of the year there were forty-four pupil-teachers, twelve boys and thirty-two girls. Of this number, twenty-five presented themselves at the annual examination held in the month of June last, when twenty-two passed and three failed. The remaining nineteen had either completed their respective apprenticeships or passed some departmental examination equivalent to that of the first (highest) grade. The Inspectors report that, except in Class IV., the quality of the work done is not up to the average standard of past years, and this unsatisfactory circumstance is accounted for by the fact that the majority of the ablest pupil-teachers pass some other examination, thus securing exemption, and, as a consequence, lowering the average standard of excellence.

E.—l

Boabd's Scholaeships.—During the past year, after protracted negotiations with the Minister of Education, the Board adopted a new set of regulations, which in several respects differ materially from the regulations which have been superseded. It was found that the new regulations could not be brought into full operation for the examination, which was, as usual, held in the month of December last, owing chiefly to the fact that the time was too short to give due notice to all parties interested. The examination was, however, conducted in terms of the new regulations except that (1) the age was retained at fifteen years, (2) the restriction as to candidates being in attendance at a public school was not enforced, (3) the syllabus of the old regulations was retained. In all sixty-five candidates presented themselves, of whom twenty-nine gained over 60 per cent, of the marks attainable, and thus qualified for scholarships. Scholarships of the value of £35 each were awarded to the eight highest of those who-—for lack of a better term —may be designated country candidates, while five scholarships of the value of £15 each were allotted to the first five of those who, in the opinion of the Board, were able to reside at home while prosecuting their studies at the High School. The remaining sixteen of those who gained 60 per cent, and over were offered free education (equivalent to £10 per annum) by the Southland High School Board of Governors. It is yet too soon to predict with any degree of accuracy the probable results of the adoption of the new regulations, but it may safely be affirmed that in many respects they are a decided improvement on those which they have superseded. The total expenditure on scholarships for the year 1900 amounted to £612 16s. 3d., of which sum £595 12s. was paid to the winners thereof, the balance of £17 4s. 3d. being absorbed in payment of examination expenses. It is creditable to the holders of scholarships in this district that their record for attendance, diligence, and progress at the High School has been and continues to be exceptionally meritorious. Teachees' Quabteely Ebtdens.—The teachers as a whole attend to the preparation of the quarterly returns of attendance with commendable promptitude and accuracy, and with only a very small minority is there ever found cause of complaint. It is rarely, however, that in any one quarter all the returns are correctly made out and forwarded to the office within the time allotted for their receipt. Were teachers to recognise, as most of them do, the importance of thorough accuracy in the compilation of these returns, on which depend considerations so grave, they would in all cases furnish the information required without the possibility of error. Technical Classes.—The Saturday carpentry classes, carried on during the past five years, have been continued with fairly favourable results. The Instructor reports that these classes have been attended by fifteen boys from the public schools and one teacher, and that the work done was fairly good. These classes are being recognised by the tradesmen of the district as of value when selecting apprentices—several of the past year's students are now engaged in the work in which they received their rudimentary training in the Board's workshop. The Technical Classes Association has made overtures to the Board with the view of handing over control of the technical classes hitherto carried on under its supervision. In view of the passing of " The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1900," it is more than probable that tho Board will acquiesce in the proposal made, and carry on the work as hitherto. The matter of bringing the public schools under the provisions of this Act will doubtless occupy the earnest attention of the Board during the coming year. Inspection of Schools.—The progress of education throughout the district is dealt with in the annual report of the Board's Inspectors. Details of the success or otherwise achieved by individual schools, as well as a summary of results for the whole district, are given. The Board, judging by the general character of the reports which are read at each monthly meeting, has reason to feel satisfied that the teachers in its service perform their duties in a conscientious and creditable manner. While this eulogium is perfectly true of the staff as a whole, it must not be thought that there are not individual exceptions. These exceptions, however, the Board is pleased to report, are comparatively rare, and every year becoming more so. The Inspectors deal with the new regulations affecting the examination of schools, and record their impressions as to the probable success of the innovation as compared with the system which it has superseded. Teansvaal Wae—Patbiotic Fund.—At its ordinary meeting in the month of March the Board adopted a resolution expressive of its feelings respecting the prosecution of the South African War, and on the same date received the report of a special Committee previously appointed to consider the question of instituting a children's patriotic fund. The Board had in view a double purpose in inaugurating such a fund, —first, the instilling of patriotic principles into the minds of the children; and, secondly, the giving of an opportunity to supplement the contributions of their parents and friends towards the relief of sufferers by the war. With these ends in view a patriotic function, to be held on a given date, was arranged for in each school district, when addresses on patriotic subjects were delivered by local residents. The total contributions to the children's relief fund reached the satisfactory amount of £280, representing an average contribution of 9-Jd. for each child attending the schools of the district. The Board, quoting from the report of its committee, cannot refrain from expressing the opinion that the results achieved are a magnificent tribute to the loyalty and patriotic devotion of the children of Southland, and believes that this practical lesson in patriotism will live in their memories for many years to come. The Board has placed on record its grateful appreciation of the energy and loyalty of the teachers and School Committees of the district, whose zealous co-operation contributed so materially to the success of the project. Building Opebations.—From the paragraph under the heading of " Schools" in a previous part of this report, it may be inferred that there has been a decided lull in the matter of the erection of new buildings ; and, while this surmise is in the main quite correct, and the expenditure necessary in this connection not so extensive as in previous years, yet the annually recurring expense of maintenance of existing buildings is, and must of necessity be, very heavy, when the perishable nature of the materials used in their erection is taken into account. The principal items of expenditure (omitting shillings and pence) in connection with building operations are: New

E.—l

buildings, £1,704; repairs and improvements, £995; furniture and appliances, £52 ; sites, £19 ; plans, &c, £283; advertising tenders, £22 —a total of £3,078 18s. The total receipts for buildings, inclusive of special grants for the erection of schools in newly settled districts, amounted to £4,095 13s. 4d., so that on the year's transactions the Board's building fund has gone to the good to the extent of £1,016 15s. 4d., the debit balance at the end of the year being only £393 4s. sd. as against £1,409 19s. 9d. for the preceding year. As against this undoubtedly satisfactory feature in the balance-sheet, it must be borne in mind that there are (according to Eeturn No. 6) actual liabilities amounting to £1,116, which must be provided for. There are also several very heavy prospective liabilities, as several of our largest schools will shortly require to be either in whole or in part rebuilt, and for these works a very considerable sum will be necessary. The principal works undertaken during the year, the cost of which is included in the foregoing statement of expenditure, are the erection of teachers' residences at Gore and Otakau respectively, an addition to the teacher's residence at Balfour, and the purchase of a school building at Crown Terrace, in addition to which all the works mentioned in last year's report as those for which tenders had been invited have been successfully completed and paid. for. The erection of a new residence at Gore had become an imperative necessity owing to the decayed and insanitary condition of the old building. Finance. —On "no occasion of the preparation of the accounts during the past ten years has the Board's financial outlook been less encouraging. This is in part due to the declining average attendance at its schools, which has the direct effect of reducing its regular income without reducing in a corresponding degree its expenditure. The substantial increase in the allowances made two years ago to School Committees for the incidental expenses of schools, which involved an extra expenditure of about £320 to £330 per annum, has also had its effect on the Board's finance. In previous reports the urgent necessity for payment of an increased capitation grant to Boards was pointed out. So far the only result of these representations has been the passing by Parliament of a special vote for increasing teachers' salaries. Failing the fulfilment of the promise to provide for a colonial scale of teachers' salaries, this action of the Government as a tentative measure is entirely praiseworthy. It is hoped, also, that in the readjustment of finance necessary on account of the introduction of a colonial scale of salaries, the necessity for providing on a liberal scale for the incidental expenditure of Boards will not be overlooked. The certified statement of the Board's income and expenditure is appended hereto. Taken in comparison with the previous year's balance-sheet, the following features are worthy of comment: The accounts for the year 1899 closed with a credit balance of £1,177. This year the amount to credit has increased to £1,249. This is satisfactory so far as it goes, but an analysis of the figures also shows that at the end of the preceding year the Building Account was in debit to the extent of £1,409, while the General Account was in credit £2,587. At the close of the year 1900, however, the debit to Building Account showed a decrease of £1,016, while the credit balance to Maintenance Account also showed a shrinkage to the extent of £945. These facts indicate that, while the Board has for the first time for many years been fairly well able to cope with its building expenditure, the increase of charges against the Maintenance Account will soon leave the amount to its credit a minus quantity. As against the balance to credit of General Account (£1,642) there are liabilities amounting to £734; while to increase the debit balance of the Building Account (£393) obligations have been entered into amounting to £1,116. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Jno. Neill, Secretary.

The fixed deposit of £163 3s. 5d., which matured on the 21st December, 1900, and is only available for the purchase of land, has been renewed for one year. Twelve reserves were let during the year. The lease of part of one of these, containing 40 acres, was renewed by arbitration, and the remainder were let by tender, after the subdivision of two into six farms; and, on four of these subdivisions, building and residence was made compulsory. Of the £304 14s. Id., which was shown in last year's accounts as awaiting appropriation in the purchase of land, £52 18s. 2d. has been expended in the acquisition of Eural Section 34441 of 15 acres of land, situated in the centre of Pastoral Bun No. 5 ; and had it not been for this, the Survey Department would have required to lay off a road about two miles in length, over difficult country, to give access to this section, and the road would have taken some 16 acres of land out of the run, and been a detriment to it for all time. I have, &o'., John Eennie, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sib,— Dunedin, 17th May, 1901. In conformity with Order in Council of 15th December, 1878, and in obedience to circular from the Education Department, I have now the honour to forward herewith report of the School Commissioners for the Provincial District of Otago for the year ended on the 31st December, 1900. During the year the Commissioners held twelve meetings, at which a large amount of routine business was transacted. The Commissioners are all practical men, with a thorough knowledge of farming, which enables them to manage the large and important estate intrusted to their keeping to the best advantage, and in order to satisfy themselves as to the necessity or otherwise of granting reductions in rents, as well as to make themselves acquainted with the endowments, the Commissioners, in addition to attending the monthly meetings, have spent a considerable portion of their time in visiting a number of the holdings, and. making a detailed inspection of the same, which enables them to deal with the reserves in a comprehensive and systematic manner. In this connection the Commissioners desire to refer to the proposal which from time to time has been brought forward in Parliament to remove the control of the endowments from their hands and give it to the Land Boards, and to ask you, as their political head, to seriously consider whether such a course would be in the best interests of the Trust and education generally. The services of the Commissioners are given gratuitously, and their duties involve anxious and diligent attention, not only to general principles, but to matters of detail. The supervision of the estates in Otago and Southland is close and thorough, and the extra expense of their management is money well spent. The fact that the rent-roll contains 883 names goes to prove that the interests of close settlement has been fully maintained, and the custodianship of such a large and important estate requires far more time and attention than could be given to it by the Land Boards and their officers. In addition to the management of the endowments, the Commissioners have the sum of £29,544 11s. sd. invested on mortgage over freehold securities, the number of mortgages being thirty-three. Besides obtaining a report and recommendation from outside valuers, as provided for in the Trustees Act, the School Commissioners satisfy themselves personally as to the value of the security before accepting it, and they only lend money on properties that could be added to the endowment and worked to advantage in the event of them falling into their hands under power of sale. In the course of the year the Commissioners leased twenty-five holdings for pastoral purposes, fifty-three for agricultural purposes, and" twenty-six township sections in various parts of the provincial district. The area of the pastoral land was 39,706 acres leased to twenty tenants at £757 3s. 4d., or 4|d. per acre; the area of the agricultural land was 5,524 acres, leased to forty-three tenants at £851 os. 7d., or 3s. Id. per acre; the area of the township sections was 9 acres 1 rood 5 perches, leased to twenty tenants at £23 15s. per annum. During the year the sum of £1,306 os. sd. was received in repayment of loans, and £4,300 was advanced on mortgage at 4f per cent. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears of rent, &c, on the 31st December, 1900, the sum of £3,197 3s. 2d. has since been collected. As explained in former reports the rents are payable half-yearly in advance, and a great number of them are never paid until after harvest. In reference to the amounts of £1,324 3s. 4d. and £29 7s. 4d., shown in the statement of accounts as expenses of management, I beg to explain that £59 11s. 7d. appears on the other side of the account under the following heads—viz., " Cash received for preparing leases by the

Commissioners' office staff, £41 ss. 6d.; deposited on account of valuation expenses, £6 Is. 7d.; insurance premiums collected from tenants, £2 4s. 6d.; and office rent, £10"; and should be deducted from the amount of expenses of management. The following amounts also go to swell the total expenses of management—viz., £96 13s. 9d., river protection, drainage, and road-making; and £86 10s. 9d. for train-fares, stamps, and telegrams returned to the Government, of which £41 18s. 7d. represents the Commissioners' trainfares in connection with their attendance at meetings at Dunedin. By deducting the foregoing figures, it will be seen that the actual cost of management was £1,110 14s. 7d., or about £5 9s. 4d. per cent, on the money collected during the year. I have, &c, Alfred Baldey, Acting-Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

CIRCULABS. SCHOLARSHIPS FOE MaOKIS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Education Department, Wellington, 15th January, 1900. 1. The Government offers deserving Maori children attending public schools a limited number of scholarships of £20 a year, tenable for two years, to enable them to prosecute their studies after leaving such 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. 2. Candidates must be of predominantly Maori descent, and evidence to this effect satisfactory to the Inspector-General of Schools must be produced in each case ; also each candidate must show, in a manner satisfactory to the Inspector-General, ability to translate a fairly easy piece of Maori into good English. 3. Candidates must not be more than fifteen years and a half old at the beginning of the scholarship period. 4. All candidates must have passed Standard V. in some public school. 5. If in any year there are more candidates than scholarships to be awarded, preference shall be given in the first instance to those who have qualified for Education Board district scholarships, and in the second instance to those who have passed Standard VI. If further limitation be necessary, the Minister shall take steps at his own discretion to determine which of the candidates shall receive the scholarships. 6. The principals of the schools at which scholars shall attend, or the employers of apprentices, shall, at the end of each term or quarter, send to the Inspector-General a brief report with regard to the conduct, diligence, and progress of each scholar ; and the Minister may at his discretion terminate any scholarship on the receipt of an unsatisfactory report. 7. Any scholar may be examined as the Inspector-General may direct, due notice being given to the principal of the school or to the employer, as the case may be. 8. In general, scholarships will be awarded at the end of the year, but applications for scholarships addressed to the Inspector-General of Schools may be made at any time. Gboegb Hogben, Inspector-General of Schools.

Defective School Chimneys. (Circular Memorandum to Secretaries of Education Boards.) Education Department, Wellington, 30th July, 1900. Two schools have recently been burnt down in precisely similar circumstances, explained as follows : " The lower part of the chimney (about 5 ft.) was composed of brick, and the rest of iron. The reason for constructing the chimneys at the country schools in this manner was because it was almost impossible to convey bricks to the site. In the case under notice it is surmised that a quantity of soot lodged on a kind of shelf at the back of the mantelpiece ; this became ignited and caused the outbreak of fire. The chimney is now built wholly of brick. The necessary steps are now being taken to replace, as far as possible, all the iron chimneys with brick, and to remedy any defects that may exist." I am directed to call the attention of your Board to this matter with a view to its also taking precautions against fire in such cases. E. O. Gibbes, Assistant Secretary.

Fabes of Teachees attending Classes foe Insteuction in Deill. . (Circular Memorandum to Secretaries of Education Boards.) Education Department, Wellington, 14th September, 1900.

If it has been decided to hold such classes in your district, and if you will let me know, I can send you a supply of certificate-forms for use of teachers applying for railway-tickets. I enclose a specimen of certificate-form. Geoege Hogben, Secretary for Education.

Conference of Inspectors. (Circular Memorandum to Secretaries of Education Boards.) Education Department, Wellington, 13th November, 1900. I send for the information of your Board copy of a circular letter to Inspectors of Schools conveying an invitation to them to hold a conference next January, for the consideration of subjects connected with the public-school system of education.

Tbachebs' Salaeies. (Circular Memorandum to Secretaries of Education Boards.) Education Department, Wellington, 9th January, 1901. I have the honour, by the direction of the Minister of Education, to communicate with you for the purpose of consultation with your Board, in terms of section 2 of " The Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, 1900," in regard to the distribution of the item voted last session—" Addition to statutory capitation, teachers' salaries only, as directed by the Minister of Education, £8,250." The list of teachers and salaries forwarded by you shows that those whose names appear on the accompanying list are in receipt of salaries that, in the opinion of the Government, are below what should be paid upon a uniform scale to teachers holding the positions most nearly corresponding

E.—l

110

to the actual positions of the teachers named. The amounts necessary to bring those salaries up to such a scale are indicated opposite the names of the teachers affected. The total of all such increases for your district is £ : The Minister is, however, aware that the systems of staffing vary in the several education districts, and that therefore in some cases a scale of salaries drawn up on the basis of a uniform system of staffing may act unequally in the different districts. Accordingly, if your Board should have any suggestions to make in regard to the readjustment of the increases among the several teachers concerned, the Minister will give such suggestions his full consideration. A copy of the Act is enclosed herewith. . I have, &c, Geoege Hogben, Secretary.

Your Board's share of the vote is £ , for which sum a payment voucher is being sent on. The money is to be devoted towards the cost of providing instruction in swimming, or increased facilities for swimming, to pupils of public schools. This direction may at the option of your Board be held to authorise the giving of prizes. I shall be able to send you shortly a supply of copies of the " Handbook of Instruction of the Life-saving Society of England." G. Hogben, Secretary.
