1902. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord, — Wellington, Ist August, 1902. 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, 1901. I have, &c, W. C. WALKEE. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Eanfurly, Governor of New Zealand.

EEPOET.

In this Eeport and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Eeport (E.-1a) on the certificate examinations, the Eeports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), a Eeport by Mr. Inspector Goyen on State Education in Australia (E.-lc), and the Eeport on the Organization of the Public-school Cadets (E.-1d), is contained all the information that is of public interest with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1877," and " The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," and also all the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully treated of in separate papers, as follows: E.-2, Native Schools; E.-3, Industrial Schools; E.-3a, Costley Training Institution; E.-4, School for Deaf-mutes; E.-5, Manual and Technical Instruction; E.-6, New Zealand University; E.-7, University of Otago; E.-8, Canterbury College; E.-9, Auckland University College; E.-10, Victoria College; E.-11, Canterbury Agricultural College; E.-12, Secondary Schools; E.-12a, Ehodes' Scholarships ; E.-13, Public Libraries. 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. It having been finally decided to adopt the working average as the basis of payments to Boards and of all tables and returns, that average has become the only average recognised, and the strict average has disappeared. The total average attendance for the whole colony continues to improve. For the year 1899 the working average was 110,316; for 1900 it was 111,747; i—E. 1.

EDUCATION: TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL EEPOET OF THE MINISTEE OF EDUCATION. [In continuation of E.-l, 1901.]

while last year it reached 111,797, which is the highest number attained in any year except 1897, when it was the highest which has as yet been recorded. But for the unfortunate falling-off during the third quarter of the year, owing to the sickness then prevalent, there is little doubt but that the average for 1897 would have been exceeded, as the averages of the other three quarters of 1901 were all higher than those of 1897.

TABLE A.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1901.

The average of the weekly roll-numbers throughout the year 1901 was almost the same as for the year 1900, the figures being 132,869 for 1901 and 132,897 for 1900. The number on the rolls at the end of the year 1901 shows an increase of 627 over the number on the rolls in December, 1900, the actual totals being respectively 131,351 for the former year and 130,724 for the latter. An analysis of these figures shows that there was an increase of 687 in the children under nine years of age, a decrease of 88 in the number between the ages of nine and fourteen, and a slight increase (28) in the number of children over fourteen years of age. The increase in the number of young children enrolled raises the expectation of an increased roll-number for the present year, 1902 ; while the establishment of district high schools should have the effect of increasing the number of pupils over fourteen years of age, an effect which will probably be somewhat more marked as time goes on. The standard of regularity of attendance reached in 1900 was maintained in 1901, the total average attendance being again 84-1 per cent, of the average weekly roll-number, as against 826 in 1899. There seems to be good reason to hope that, partly through the operation of the School Attendance Act of 1901, partly from other causes, attendance at public schools may still further improve. It is, however, interesting to note in this rconnection that for the primary day-schools in England in 1900 the averagef attendance was 821 per cent, of the number on the registers, in Scotland 70 per cent., and in Ireland 64 - l per cent. As nearly as can be ascertained, the average attendance in the primary schools of the various Australian Colonies during the year 1900, expressed as a percentage of the net enrolment, was as follows: New South Wales, 72-3; Victoria, 67-54; Queensland, 72-7; South Australia, 69-0; Western Australia, 81*2; Tasmania, 74-9.

and the importance of maintaining a high standard of regularity of school attendance will be better appreciated if it is remembered that the leading authorities on juvenile depravity and crime are agreed that these social faults have for the most part their origin in truancy and in the acquirement of the nomadic habit; and accordingly the margin between a low rate and a high rate of school attendance, although affected in some degree by sparse settlement, represents to a large extent those individual children who will, if still neglected, go to swell our industrial schools and reformatories, and, at a later age, our prisons, refuges, and lunatic asylums.

TABLE B.—School Attendance for 1901.

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 1901 as compared with 1900 in all the districts of the North Island, and in Marlborough 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 average for the North Island is 803, and the decrease for the South Island is 753, the net increase for the whole colony being thus 50. The greatest increase (284) is shown in Auckland, the next being Wanganui, with an increase of 210.

Taking the colony as a whole, the regularity of attendance remains the same as in 1900, or 84 - l per cent, of the average roll-number. In the separate districts also the change from last year is in most cases less than 1 per cent. ; but in Grey and Westland, which last year reached the high figures of 89-1 and 87"5 respectively, there has been a falling-off to 85*2 and 86 - 2 ; thus Grey, which last year had the highest percentage in the colony, is now only fourth on the list. Otago, which last year, with an attendance of 86 - 9 per cent., stood at the head of the larger education districts, now takes the lead for the whole colony with an average attendance of 86 - 7 per cent. The number of Maoris and children of mixed race attending the public schools is shown in the following table : —

TABLE B2.—Children of Maori and Mixed Races attending Public Schools, December, 1901.

Table B2 calls for no special remark, except in so far as it emphasizes the fact indicated in the Native Schools Eeport, that the proportion of Maori children receiving education is increasing. There is no doubt that the increase might be still greater, and the attainment of this object—the education of all Maori children as far as possible—is probably one of the best aims towards which the efforts of the Maori Councils can be directed. The School Attendance Act of last session may also produce good results; but for the present unexpected difficulties have arisen in the framing of the special regulations for the compulsory school attendance of Maori children, some Native-school authorities considering that the same limits of distance should apply to Maoris as to Europeans, while others hold that they should be extended, one Native School Committee even going so far as to suggest that the radius within which children should be compelled to attend a Native school should be extended to fifteen miles.

The proportion of boys to girls is almost the same as for 1900—52 per cent, to 48 per cent. Taking the average for the last four years, we find that for every 100 boys on the rolls of the schools there are 93*3 girls. The number of young children enrolled having, as already stated, shown an increase, the ratio of those under ten years of age to those over that age is somewhat higher than it was last year. The actual percentages are respectively 52-4 and 47-6 of the roll-number. Insteuction and Examination. Table D is a summary for the whole colony of Table No. 2 in the Appendix, which shows the numbers in the several classes for the various districts. The proportion of pupils in the preparatory classes shows a. large increase for the year, from 26 per cent, to 26 - 78 per cent. The proportions in classes S 6 and S 7 have also increased. The other classes present a slight decrease. This does not appear to indicate any change in the degree of strictness with which children are promoted from one standard class to another, as, allowing for the advance of a year, the figures for the classes S 1 to S 7 agree tolerably closely with those of the previous year.

TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1901.

Table E gives the passes in standards. In forming a comparison with previous years it will probably not be unfair to treat the number present at the Inspector's annual visit as practically equivalent to the number present at examination. Accordingly, for the whole colony, of those so present in Standard I. there passed 94-1 per cent. In 1900 the corresponding figures were 93*8 per cent.

TABLE E.—Passes in Standards, 1901.

The proportion of the number that passed the various standards to the total number on the rolls on the day of the Inspector's annual visit was 55*1 per cent. In 1900 the corresponding figures were 55-6 per cent.

The coming into operation of the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act fenders necessary a considerable increase (over 400) in the adult staffs of the schools, and a decrease (from about 960 to about 680) in the number of pupilteachers employed in the schools. Inasmuch as the number of suitable teachers, especially of male teachers, waiting for employment was probably not at the time' the Act came into operation sufficient to fill all the new posts, the immediate result may be a shortage of qualified teachers until the new system has had time to take effect. The inconveniences likely to be experienced meanwhile will be reduced to a minimum if the Boards will endeavour, as far as circumstances admit, to abstain from appointing male teachers to posts that could be filled equally well by mistresses, and if for a time the number of pupilteachers employed is somewhat in excess of the limit indicated in the Act, a variation of Schedule I. which the Minister, under the second proviso of section 3 of the Act, has the power to allow until the 31st December, 1903. The proportion of pupil-teachers to adults employed at the end of 1901 was Ito 2*79, or, roughly, five apprentices to fourteen 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 Wellington, where the pupil-teachers are to the adults as 1 to I*4 and 1 to I*s respectively, Wanganui being slightly better with Ito 2. Omitting the districts where small schools not having pupil-teachers are numerous, the strongest in adult teachers are —Otago, 1 pupil-teacher to 53 adults; South Canterbury, 1 to 5 ; and Southland, 1 to 4-3. 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 was given when the average attendance reached 35 ; but, inasmuch as in a few instances pupil-teachers were found with an average slightly less than 35, we may take for this purpose all schools with more than 30 pupils. Table Xl affords sucli a comparison, two pupil-teachers beingcounted as one adult in the calculation of the last column. In future, the staffing will be approximately the same in all districts of the colony, being regulated by the Schedule of " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," with such modifications as are allowed by the notes to the Schedule, and, until December, 1903, with such other modifications as, under the second proviso of section 3 of the Act, may be sanctioned by the Minister.

£99 14s. 2d., which is £4 14s. 7d. more than the corresponding amount in December, i9OO. The marked increase in the average salary was principally, if not entirely, due to the amounts distributed out of the special vote for increases to teachers' salaries.

Table M shows the number of certificated and uncertificated teachers employed in the public schools during 1901. Out of the total number (2,668) of adult teachers employed, 2,384 were holders of certificates, 11 others had passed the certificate examination, 86 had gained a partial pass, and 35 had failed, while 152 had never been examined by the Department. Ten were holders of licenses to teach.

In January, 1902, 140 teachers not previously certificated passed the D or B examinations, so that the total number of teachers in service and qualified by examination is now 2,384 + 7 + 140 = 2,531.

It is unnecessary to recapitulate the reasons that led'to the passing of the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act of last session or to call attention to its provisions ; but in this connection it may be remarked that, considering the radical nature of the change introduced by the Act, the large amount of work entailed in reducing to order the details of staffs and salaries of nearly four thousand teachers in over seventeen hundred schools, working hitherto under thirteen separate sets of regulations and paid under thirteen different scales of salary, considering also the number of new questions arising and the number of cases of apparent hardship or difficulty to be considered and decided, the Education Boards and the Department are to be congratulated upon the fact that the new system has been brought in with almost perfect smoothness. Not only were the salaries of most teachers to be raised, but the salaries to those to whom the new scale allowed less than they were entitled to before were to be maintained for two years. Again, to enable an easy transition to be made from the old system to the new, some discretion was allowed by the Act to the Minister in regard to the staffing of the schools, and this power has been interpreted liberally, with a view to avoiding hardship to individual teachers. While endeavour has been made to prevent such liberality from degenerating into extravagance, yet the unavoidable items referred to have caused a considerable increase in the total expenditure. Further, as no provision was made in the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act for the cost of relieving-teachers or substitutes in cases of sickness, an item lias been placed on the estimates which, being at the rate of 6d. per head per annum on the average school attendance, will, it is considered, amply meet the case. Finances of Education Boards. Table N is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Boards of Education for the year 1901. These are given in full on pages 4-5 of the Appendix, where are also the annual reports of the several Boards. The principal item showdng an increase is that of Teachers' Salaries and Allowances, for 1901 as against £357,249 for 1900, the increase being due to the distribution of the special sum voted by Parliament for increases to teachers' salaries, which was allotted in accordance with the provisions of " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1900."

The amounts payable thereunder to the several Boards are, however, included in the assets of the Boards shown in Table O. Tables O and P show the financial position of the Boards, as regards the General and Building Accounts respectively, on the 31st December, 1901. fn

E.—l

order that the statement of assets and liabilities in the General Account may be fully understood, it may be as well to repeat here an explanation that was given under this heading in last year's report, as follows: — In Table O 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, 1877," 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 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. On the General Account five out of the thirteen Boards have improved their position during the year; these are Auckland, Wanganui, Hawke's Bay, South Canterbury, and Otago; the rest have gone back more or less. The most marked improvement is shown by Auckland, which has increased its credit balance from £1,358 to ,£2,203; by Wanganui, which has reduced its deficit of £974 to £51; by Hawke's Bay, which has increased its balance from £1,204 to £2,855 ; and by Otago, which has reduced its deficit from £2,309 to £653 ; while the greatest falling-off is exhibited by Nelson and Southland, which in 1900 had balances respectively of £101 and £908, and in 1901 show deficits of £985 and £261. For the year 1901 nine Boards have deficits on their General Account, amounting in all to £9,570 18s. Id., the most considerable deficits being—Wellington, £4,549; Nelson, £985; North Canterbury, £2,402; and Otago, £653. The largest balances are shown by Hawke's Bay and Auckland; and the total balances of the four Boards that are in credit amount to £5,922 9s. lid. The net deficit of all the Jioards on the General Account is thus seen to be £3,648 Bs. 2d., or less by £2,335 9s. sd. than at the end of the year 1900. On the two accounts together—Building and General—there has been an improvement for all Boards of £2,121 4s. 3d.

TABLE P. —Building Account.—Assets and Liabilities of Boards on 31st December, 1901.

School Buildings. For the last three years the ordinary votes for school buildings have been distributed not, as formerly, according to population, but on the basis of the average attendance in the several education districts, with adjustments according to the number of schools and to the increase of population in each district. Some of the items to which the grants are devoted are recurrent in nature, such as the maintenance and repairs of existing buildings and furniture, and the rebuilding of worn-out schools; other items —for instance, the building of new schools and of additions to existing schools —are of the kind that may fairly be regarded as a charge against capital. The recurrent items entail an expenditure that might be roughly estimated as a percentage of the original cost of the buildings; they fall under two heads, maintenance (including repainting, repairs, &c.) and rebuilding. To ascertain the amount that should be set aside to meet the cost of rebuilding it would be necessary to ascertain the average period for which a school building lasts, which may probably be taken as between thirty-three and forty years in the case of wooden buildings that are well constructed in the first instance and kept in good repair afterwards. For an average school, therefore, from 2J to 3 per cent, of its cost should be written off as a general rule each year, and an equal amount should theoretically be set aside to meet the prospective cost of rebuilding. But as it would be undesirable, if not impracticable, for Education Boards to form sinking funds for the purpose of rebuilding schools as they became too dilapidated for further occupation, the same end might be attained just as well, and far more conveniently, if onefortieth to one-thirty-third of the school buildings in a district were replaced each year. If, however, the average life of school buildings in any district is found to be greater or less than the estimate given above the proportion to be replaced must be altered accordingly. It ought to be possible to ascertain within fairly close limits the cost of carrying out ordinary repainting and repairs of buildings so nearly alike as are the school buildings in any given education district, and no one needs to be reminded that the neglect of ordinary maintenance considerably shortens the lifetime of any building. If less is spent on maintenance, more will have to be spent on rebuilding ; and it would seem, therefore, that a fair basis for the distribution of the portion of the building votes intended to meet the recurrent items named would be a fixed percentage on the original cost of the buildings erected. The special vote for schools in newly settled districts, &c, has been distributed this year in a similar mode to that followed in 1900. 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, bu-t 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 £493 15s. In future the special vote for new buildings will be described in such a manner as to make it available not only for schools in newly settled districts but for all cases in which the need for fresh accommodation is clearly due to a marked increase of population. The distribution of the ordinary votes for school buildings was made as follows : Auckland, £9,625 ; Taranaki, £1,700 ; Wanganui, £4,075 ; Wellington, £5,275; Hawke's Bay, £2,675; Marlborough, £925; Nelson, £2,000; Grey, £575; Westland, £750; North Canterbury, £6,000; South Canterbury, £1,800; Otago, £6,000; Southland, £3,400 ; £200 paid to Grey Board since the 31st March, 1902 : total, £45,000. The following distribution was made from the special vote for schools in newly settled districts : Auckland, £1,426 55.; Taranaki, £297 ; Wanganui, £1,011 10s. ; Hawke's Bay, £150; Marlborough, £142 10s. ; Nelson, £145 ; North Canterbury, £387 13s. 5d.; South Canterbury, £938 ; Otago, £160 ; Southland, £570 : total, £5,227 18s. sd. In addition to the foregoing, £3,853 was granted to the Wellington Board, £233 to North Canterbury, and £52 to Otago, for the purpose of replacing schools destroyed by fire. The Cheviot earthquake of the 16th November last did a considerable amount of damage to school buildings in the North Canterbury Education District, and a special grant of £972 4s. lid. was made to the North Canterbury Board to meet the cost of repairs thus rendered necessary. 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 1,585 schools 97 were being carried on in buildings not belonging to Boards, whilst in 1900 there were 88 out of 1,571. The number of schools .without residences decreased from 525 to 524. Allowing 10 square feet per unit of average attendance, 40 schools were overcrowded.

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

There is a considerable variety of opinion among school medical authorities as to the amount of space required to secure a proper supply of pure air for each child in an ordinary class-room. The amount of floor-space allotted per child in different English-speaking countries varies from 8 to 15 square feet, and the cubical space from 120 to 300 cubic feet, although some medical authorities ask

for as much as 400 or even 600 cubic feet per child. Assuming that ample means of ventilation by means of sufficient and suitable inlets and outlets are provided, and that all rooms are emptied and thoroughly flushed with fresh air at intervals not greater than one hour and a half or two hours, the following seems for New Zealand schools a reasonable allowance and one quite within practicable limits in the case of new schools : For each child in average attendance a minimum floor-space (exclusive of that occupied by suoh furniture as cupboards) of 12 square feet, and an allowance of cubical space not less than '200 cubic feet, the height of each class-room from floor to wall-plate being at least 14 feet. The dimensions could be adjusted in each particular case to provide the minimum allowances named, it being borne in mind that any height of a room over 15 ft. or 16 ft. should not properly be taken into account in calculating the cubic space available for securing sufficiency of air-supply. The lighting of schools is generally well provided for in the colony ; but even in our clear climate no ordinary class-room should be lighted from one side only, and no child should be set to read or write, much less draw, at a greater distance than 22 ft. from a fully lighted window. SCHOLAESHIPS. Table B shows the number of Education Board scholarships held in December, 1901, with their tenure and annual value. The total expenditure of the Boards under this head amounted to ,£8,331 10s. sd. ; the total paid to the Boards for scholarship purposes by the Department was ,£8,075 Bs.

TABLE R.—Scholarships.

In some districts holders of Education Board scholarships are received into the secondary schools without payment of fees; in other districts they have to pay school fees out of their scholarship-money. District High Schools. The number of district high schools in the colony has increased from 13 in existence in December, 1900, to 37, including those now established (29) and those sanctioned but not yet established (8). As the special grants made on account of pupils in the secondary classes in these schools are sufficiently liberal to enable the Boards to abolish fees and to pay the additional staff required, it may be said that the problem of providing some degree of free secondary education to boys and girls in a large number of country districts is practically solved. Such districts have now, indeed, an advantage over the towns in which secondary schools exist, as in the latter all except holders of Education Board scholarships and a few others admitted free by the secondary schools have still to pay fees. But it would, generally speaking, be a mistake to establish district high schools by the side of the fully constituted secondary

schools already in operation, as the latter would in almost all cases suffer, and decreased efficiency as well as unnecessary expense would result from the overlapping thus introduced. It seems to he necessary to utter a note of warning with regard to the syllabus of work that is being taken up in the district high schools. It may be safely laid down that the secondary instruction given in these schools should have a bearing on the future life of the pupils. It is now tolerably well recognised that it is no reason in favour of choosing a subject for the school curriculum to say that it has no practical or utilitarian value, but rather the contrary; " bread-and-butter studies," as they have been called, are not necessarily to be condemned because the knowledge gained is afterwards useful, but are rather to be preferred if they are pursued in such a way as to train the intelligence of the pupil, and to lead him to think about those things that he will have to handle in the future. There is too much tendency at present in the district high schools to give the secondary pupils a little Latin or French and a little elementary algebra or Euclid, and to avoid science and manual and commercial training. The aim in view in establishing district high schools will probably be gained if these schools give the pupils a good taste for standard English literature, a thorough training in ordinary English composition and in arithmetic and mensuration, and such knowledge of history and geography as will enable them to understand better their duties as citizens of the Empire; adding thereto a course in elementary science in which the observations and experiments are carried out by every pupil for himself, and a suitable course of manual work or of commercial work where local conditions demand it. These essentials being secured, other subjects may be taken up if room can be found for them, and if among these subjects a foreign language is included ; by all means let it be a modern one, and let it be studied so far thoroughly that some real knowledge of the language, not merely of its grammatical forms, is acquired. The grants for manual instruction (including practical science) under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act are payable to school classes in addition to the special district high school grant, so that there is no excuse on the ground of expense for the comparative neglect of these subjects. There is no reason why any of our district high schools, or indeed any of our secondary schools, should take as their model the lower forms of an old English grammar-school. It is true that the newer subjects require greater skill and a larger amount of preparation on the part of the teacher ; but it cannot be supposed that the teachers of the colony are not as skilful as those of other countries, or are less willing to devote themselves with energy to a task whose realisation may enable their pupils "to travel throughout life by day instead of by night." The 37 district high schools referred to above are as follows : In Auckland District —Coromandel, Waihi, Opotiki, Paeroa and Aratapu; in Taranaki— Stratford and Eltham; in Wanganui—Marton, Feilding, Wanganui Boys', Hawera, College Street (Palmerston North), and Patea; in Wellington— Masterton ; in Hawke's Bay—Gisborne and Dannevirke ; in Nelson —Westport, Motueka, and Keefton ; in Grey —Greymouth ; in Westland—Hokitika; in North Canterbury —Akaroa; in South Canterbury—Temuka, Waimate, and Geraldine ; in Otago—Balclutha, Lawrence, Palmerston South, Port Chalmers, Tokomairiro, Ta.panui, Mosgiel, Hampden, and Naseby; and in Southland— Kiverton, Winton, and Gore. There are 988 secondary pupils on the roll of the 29 schools already established. Tbaining of Teachers. The vote of Jb 1,000 for the training of teachers was divided equally between the normal schools at Christchurch and Dunedin; but, as was pointed out in last year's report, there is a great need for a more complete provision for the training of teachers in the colony. The salaries and allowances of the students in training at the Christchurch and Dunedin Normal Schools and at the Napier Training School are at present met out of the teachers' salaries vote, the

XVI

students (who also teach) being considered as modifications of the staff, by virtue of the discretion given to the Minister under the second proviso to section 3 of the Act. This arrangement must, however, come to an end in December, 1903, so that itwill be necessary before that time ai*rives to make some definite provision for the training of teachers. Meanwhile, however, as far as manual subjects are concerned, the most urgent needs have been met for the present by special grants to the Boards referred to under the heading of " Manual and Technical Instruction," by grants of apparatus and material for teachers' classes, and by the concession of free railway passes to teachers attending any training classes approved by the Education Board of their district. MILITAET AND PHYSICAL DRILL. The Education Act provides that "in public schools provision shall be made for the instruction in military drill of all boys " ; and under " The Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act, 1901," which came into force on the Ist January, 1902, it is declared to be the duty of the Board in each district " to cause physical drill to be taught to all boys and girls over the age of eight years attending the public schools in the district." The number of children returned as receiving instruction in drill at the end of the year was 94,116. The term " drill " here must be taken to include physical and disciplinary exercises. There were 101 cadet companies, with a strength of 4,851 members. Some of them had carbines or similar arms obtained from the Defence Department, but generally they were equipped with the model rifles which have been imported by the Department for purposes of drill. The number of cadet companies in the several districts was as follows : Auckland, 27 ; Taranaki, 2; Wanganui, 11 ; Wellington, 18; Hawke'sßay, 15; Marlborough, 2; Nelson, 3; Grey, 1; Westland, 4; North Canterbury, 2; South Canterbury, 1; Otago, 14; Southland, 1. The number of model rifles on issue to the Boards at the end of the year was 3,850. The Department has in hand 500 Westley-Eichards '310 miniature MartiniHenry rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, which will be issued at the rate of ten rifles per company, or less, according to strength, with a proportionate allowance of ammunition for practice in shooting. It is to be remembered that the amount of firing that can be done by these cadets is limited by the amount of range accommodation available. The number of rifles indicated will probably afford as much practice as could be obtained with a larger number. In all the principal centres the Defence Department has during the year continued to give the services of drill-instructors, who have visited the schools and themselves taken charge of the company or squad in each during the drillhours. A system such as this, satisfactory though it may be as far as it can be applied, is not capable of extension without great expense, and the only satisfactory method of making permanent provision for the requirements in this subject is to train the teachers to carry on the work themselves. For the past two years facilities have been given to teachers to 'attend classes for instruction in drill, the Department paying rail fares. Classes have been held at Auckland and the Thames, with average attendances of 35 and 9 for 31 and 25 meetings respectively ; at Wellington, with an average attendance of 54 for 41 meetings; and at Christchurch, with an average attendance of about 47. The expenditure for the year on railway fares of teachers and instructors was 56781. Under the provision in " The Defence Act Amendment Act, 1900," that " the Governor may make regulations for the formation, equipment, and training of cadet corps in connection with public schools," and " 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," regulations were gazetted on the 15th May of the current year by which such cadet corps were placed under the control of the Education Department. An officer has been appointed to command the corps and generally to organize and attend to matters relating to the movement. His report forms an appendix (E.-1d) to this report. The number of companies recognised up to date is 95. iii—E. 1,

Instkuction in Swimming. The special vote granted in 1899, and again in 1900, for the encouragement of swimming has been rendered unnecessary by the provision in the regulations under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act for a capitation payment on account of school classes doing work in this subject. In most cases the children should be taught by the teacher of the school, and the allowance referred *to should be sufficient to enable Boards to provide instruction for the teachers. Referring to this subject, and to the vote of £100 for the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association in recognition of its efforts to foster swimming and life-saving, the association was recently informed that the Government believed that the association's enthusiasm would supply what further incentive was required for the systematic cultivation of the subject among the school-children of the colony, and desired that the grant by which the usefulness of the association was recognised might be accepted by the association as a reminder of this field for its operations. Supply of Ensigns to Schools. On the passing of " The New Zealand Ensign Act, 1901," a vote of £1,500 was taken for the supply of ensigns to the public schools. It was thought advisable to attach two conditions to the gift: that a school before getting a flag should have a flagstaff, and that the cost of the flagstaff should not be taken out of the school fund. It was pointed out to the Boards that a3O ft. staff was quite sufficient, and that there was no need for any Committee to go to the expense of a more elaborate equipment. The size of the presentation flag is 7 ft. 6 in. by 3 ft. 9 in. About 1,150 flags have been distributed, including eightysix to Native schools. With each flag is sent an illustrated description of the Union Jack and its story. Railway Passes foe School-children. In 1901 the Education Department paid the Railway Department £3,477 for this service; £1,109 of this was for the fares of children attending private schools. Conference of Secretaries of Education Boards. Owing to the great changes in the methods of administration rendered necessary by the passing of the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, by the rapid increase in the number of classes under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, and by the multiplication of district high schools and the distribution of the grants for such schools, it was thought desirable to hold a conference of Secretaries of Education Boards with a view to reducing the routine work in the Department and in the various Boards' offices to the simplest form consistent with efficiency. The conference was accordingly held in Wellington in December, 1901. Questions of policy were, of course, not brought before the conference ; but the methods of carrying into effect the provisions of the Acts referred to above were discussed in full detail, and the forms for securing the returns necessary to make the monthly payments to Boards on account of teachers' salaries, those for the recognition of manual and technical classes and for claims for capitation and subsidies in connection therewith, and those for the special capitation on account of secondary pupils in district high schools were agreed upon, and have since been adopted. The meetings were business-like in spirit, and much was gained by the mutual interchange of ideas on many subjects. One undoubted benefit derived from the conference was the almost perfect smoothness with which the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, as already stated above, was brought into operation. It is no drawback to say that subsequent experience has shown that many of the forms then agreed upon can be still further simplified. Chatham Islands. In the Chatham Islands during 1901 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 86 ; the average

attendance, 70. The total expenditure was £408 2s. 3d.—namely, salaries and allowances, £283 17s. 4d.; school furniture and requisites, and repairs, £63 145.; passage-money of teachers and families, £28 -4s. 3d.; inspection, £32 9s. 7d. 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; such scholarships would, if necessary, be in addition to the scholarships that are offered to Chatham Island Maoris in the same way as to Maoris in New Zealand. There is at present one holder of a Maori scholarship from the Chatham Islands, who is receiving his education at Te Aute. The schools were visited in January last by the Inspector-General. His report refers generally in commendatory terms to the work that is being done, and he states further that manual work is being introduced into these schools, and a great deal of interest is at present being taken in educational matters by both Europeans and Maoris.

Table S. —Summary of School Commissioners' Accounts— continued.

The payments made to Education Boards out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1901 amounted to ,£40,971 os. lid. The revenues of the Boards are not, however, increased thereby, as equal amounts are deducted from the capitation grants due to the Boards. The payments for secondary education from reserves under the control of the School Commissioners amounted to £4,499 11s. 4d. Native Schools. There were ninety-one village schools in full operation at the end of 1901, two more than the number open in December, 1900. If mission schools and board-ing-schools examined by the Department, as well as the four new village schools, and two aided schools, are added, the total number of schools was 103. The increased activity in building, necessitated by the increased interest of Maoris in the matter of education, and the installation of operations in connection with technical work, have caused an increase in the expenditure to the extent of £3,425. The average attendance for the year has increased by 92-5, and is 2,592-25, while the regularity of attendance is greater by nearly 3 per cent.; it has again reached the level attained in 1898. There is a satisfactory increase in the number of passes. For the reason stated in the Inspector's report, it is interesting to find that the ratio of the number of girls to that of the number of boys has sensibly increased. Of the six schools opened in the course of the year 1901 two are decidedly small. One of these is at Euapuke Island, in Fouveaux Strait, where there was, very many years ago, a mission-house under the Key. Mr. Wohlers, who also kept a small school going. The population of the place is now larger and more steady than it was. The other is an aided school at Turanganui, Palliser Bay —the settlement of Captain Brown, a very well known Maori chief. The beginning made was not very successful, but there is some reason to hope for better things. All the other four new schools have made a satisfactory beginning. One of these is at Te Haroto, on the Road, a few miles on the Napier side of Tarawera. The climate of the place is rather severe, but the Maoris appear to have thoroughly made up their minds to secure success and have made an excellent beginning. Oromahoe, Bay of Islands District, is another revived school; it, too, has had a rest of about twenty years. The Natives of the place are evidently doing their best to deserve the consideration shown them by Government in reopening in their village. Whareponga is on the East Coast, about five miles from Waipiro; a successful beginning under a careful master has been made, and the prospects of success are considerable. Pariroa, near Patea, is interesting as being a kind of Maori centre whose people long held aloof. Their anxiety to have a school has been great, and it is reported that the prospects of their school are good. It was not found necessary to close any school in the course of the last twelve months. A few applications for new schools have been sent in during the year, and several visits for inquiry have been paid; there are still many on the list, and

it is hoped that some of them at least may be worked off in the course of the coming year. It mentioned that schools "at Kerepehi, Piako ; Parawera, in the Kihikihi district; a school under a Maori teacher at Eangiawhia, in the Mangonui District; schools at Takahiwai, near Whangarei; Tongoio, Hawke's Bay; Taumarunui, Upper Wanganui; and Whangara, East Coast, have been either completed already or have been put in hand during the current year. There are some four or five other cases that will require consideration later on. The examination and inspection reports on the schools examined during the year 1901 show that, on the whole, the standard previously reached has been rather more than maintained. The Inspectors' reports, summarised as usual by Mr. Pope, give ah opportunity for judging the value of the work done both in individual schools and on the whole. It may be observed that the number of schools that on the work of the year deserve to be called good, has increased from thirty-five for 1900 to forty-five for 1901. On the other hand, the schools at the wrong end of the list in 1901 numbered only six, a decided improvement on the ten of the previous year. The number of pupils receiving higher education, or learning trades as apprentices, is much the same as it was in 1900. This year there are still two Maori medical students at Otago University, and there are also two Maori nurses receiving hospital training. Hand-work has received much attention during the year, especially in our village schools. In some cases work that really deserves to be called admirable has been done. The difficulties in the way of introducing handwork into the boarding-schools have been great. St. Stephen's appears to have nearly got over its difficulties, and to be ready to make a really good beginning. There is a neatly built workshop there, and great interest in the building and equipping of it is being shown by the authorities. Te Aute has not yet been able to make the necessary arrangements, but it is hoped that there will be something done by-and-by. The authorities do not seem to be hostile to handwork ; they say merely that they do not yet see their way to set about it without endangering their own peculiar work that is already in hand. It is understood that there is now in almost all Maori schools a good deal of manual and kindergarten work done ; that the children like it, while the teachers are becoming alive to its beneficial effects on the other work of the school; and that, generally, much of the good promised in connection with this kind of work is being fully realised. Such operations as paper-folding, paper-weaving, work in plasticine, cane-weaving, and "bricklaying" are now regularly taught in most of these schools. There has also been progress made in teaching woodwork; reports show that Whirinaki School is doing excellent work of various kinds, and that the Maoris generally are showing great appreciation of the prospect opening out before them. The other two principal technical stations—at Bangitukia and Rakaumanga —are less advanced, but it is hoped that it will be possible to report satisfactory progress next year. Other smaller establishments, such as those at Mangamuka and Omanaia, are giving good promise, the latter considerably more than promise, and much good work has been already done ; at Mangamuka the building is almost ready. It is announced in the report that a very successful advance in the teaching of English has been made. There is reason to believe that the method organized by the Inspectors is likely to render excellent service in the way of giving Maori children in a reasonably short time a power of speaking elementary English fluently and correctly. It will be seen from the above that, in order to accomplish successfully the task of educating the Maoris in such a way as to raise the tone of the ordinary village community, more and more emphasis is being placed upon the teaching of English and upon manual training. This remark raises the question of the desirability of reforming the courses prescribed in the secondary boardingschools for Maoris; for the two subjects just named must be considered as far more important than more bookish forms of instruction, which tend to unfit Maori boys and girls for the simple life of the pa, and give them no training that will enable them to perform willingly and intelligently the work that has to be done in connection with their homes. There are very few Maori

XXI

£.—1

boys, and, up to the present, no Maori girls, who have become students at the University Colleges, and it seems accordingly a waste of effort to teach Latin and other purely academic subjects to those who should be taught in a practical way the principles that underlie agriculture, domestic work, and the other occupations of their future lives. The few who show sufficient ability to warrant their being taken for a considerable time away from their own people could, at a far less total expense, receive at the ordinary secondary schools the training necessary to prepare them for a university career. Quite recently a way has been opened up for giving a trial, so far as one locality is concerned, to a scheme proposed some three or four years ago for enabling Maoris, after finishing their school education, to find a field of action in which what they have acquired at school may be applied to the purposes of ordinary life; in which they may, in fact, find the uses of the training they have received by practising in a Maori settlement conducted on European lines the art of living in European fashion. The Native school at Pamoana, on the Wanganui River, has afforded the kind of opportunity necessary for trying the experiment. A large number of young people are on the ground, and already fairly well educated; the Maoris have given the necessary land, and very soon everything will be ready for making a beginning. It would be futile to attempt at the present stage to describe accurately the steps to be taken, but the information here given will probably suffice to show the general lines on which the little colony is to be founded. It may be added, however, that it is intended to make the settlement industrial, and, as soon as possible, self-supporting. The usual account of the schools and their progress will be found in the Inspector's report, and also paragraphs on subjects connected with Maori life in general, in so far as this is influenced by or influences education. Industrial Schools. In December, 1901, the total number on the books of all the industrial schools was 1,765, or 62 more than at the close of the year 1900. On the books of the Government industrial schools there were 1,227, an increase of 64 over the corresponding number for 1900; on the books of the private industrial schools there were 538, or 2 less than at the end of the previous year. The number in residence at Government schools was 293, and at private industrial schools 348, so that 641 was the total number of " inmates " actually in residence. The number boarded out was 419, one being from a private school and the rest from Government schools. There were 17 girls maintained in various corrective institutions, 13 boys and girls in orphan homes, 1 boy at the Blind Institute, Auckland, and lat the School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner. The total number of inmates dependent on the schools for maintenance was therefore 1,092, or 56 more than the number at the end of 1900. The remaining 673, although still subject to control and supervision, were not dependent on the schools for maintenance. They may be classified as follows : Licensed to reside with friends, 155 ;at service, 448; in hospital, 4 ; in lunatic asylum, 5; in the Costley Training Institution, Auckland, on probation, 2; in other institutions without payment, 13 ; in gaol, 6 ; absent without leave, 40—namely, 29 from service and 11 from the schools. There were six Government industrial schools in existence in 1901, and the numbers of inmates on their books at the end of the year were as follows: Auckland, 97 ; Receiving Home, Wellington, 69 ; Receiving Home, Christchurch, 226; Burnham, 281; Te Oranga Home, 46; Caversham, 508: total, 1,227. Those belonging to private industrial schools were distributed as follows: St. Mary's, Auckland, 130; St. Joseph's, Wellington, 76; St. Mary's, Nelson, 305; St. Vincent de Paul, Dunedin, 27 : total, 538.

TABLE T.—Inmates, 1900 and 1901.

The Government industrial schools are of two kinds : reformatories and industrial schools proper. There is one reformatory for boys at Burnham, and another, Te Oranga Home, near Christchurch, for girls. An addition, in the form of a new wing, is now in course of erection at the latter institution, and this, when completed, will relieve the present overcrowding, and will facilitate the classification according to character which is so essential an element of success. At Burnham there are many who, if they had not been sent there, would probably be found in the prisons of the colony ; where they are, however, they are regularly taught farming, gardening, carpentry work, bootmaking, tailoring, and other trades, and have every chance of being reformed in character. They are divided into three classes, promotion from a lower to a higher class being according to good conduct and diligence in learning a trade. Those in the first and second classes receive small payments as pocket-money, and any boy in the first class who earns more than the cost of his maintenance has the surplus paid into the account of his earnings in the same way as if he were licensed out to service. So far as there is room, also, those belonging to the first class live in cottages on the farm, under the supervision of married attendants, and enjoy thus a taste of home life and considerably more liberty than boys belonging to the other two classes. The individuals placed in the third class need for the most part a considerable degree of control, and it is hoped that the detention-yard to be erected shortly will enable close supervision to be exercised over these boys while they are employed on useful work, so that absconding may be almost impossible and discipline maybe maintained without the occasion to have recourse to corporal punishment or detention in cells. Marked benefits have already resulted from the system of classification that has gradually been introduced into our industrial schools, more especially during the last three years. This opinion is confirmed by the Burnham Board of Advice in a letter which will be printed in E.-3, satisfaction being expressed at the general improvement shown, and particularly as regards the effect of the industrial training of the boys, which is now such a prominent feature of the school work. Caversham is the largest industrial school, properly so called, in the colony. Boys and girls of known criminal or vicious instincts are not sent there ; those who are in residence are such as at the time of committal were too old to be boarded out, or such as need a somewhat firmer measure of control than can be looked for in a foster-home. The site for the new boys' industrial school at Horowhenua has been cleared, and is now quite ready for the erection of the buildings required. These will consist of the main building, in which will be quartered the boys needing the direct supervision of the manager; four to six cottages containing each about fourteen boys in charge of a married attendant; a manager's house, an office, a school, workshops, dairy, cow - shed, stables, and other small buildings. All the boys will dine together in the dining-room of the main

building, but those living in the cottages will take their other meals there. The site is being planted, and is already stocked with cattle. The soil is very fertile, and fruit and garden crops should do well there. Probably not less than 120 boys will be trained at the institution. Caversham has now more boys than it can properly accommodate, and the boys' quarters there are old and inconvenient ; moreover, it does not possess sufficient land of good qualities to give the facilities for that training in out-door pursuits which is so important an element in the success of an industrial school system. It will therefore be a most important step in advance when the Horowhenua buildings are finished and the new institution is ready for receiving inmates. Caversham and Mount Albert will then be the two Government industria schools for girls. The Receiving Homes at Wellington and Christchurch accommodate girls and young boys who, on being ordered to an industrial school, are waiting to be sent to a foster-home, or to the school best fitted to train them. On the books of the Receiving Homes are found also the names of the industrial school inmates boarded out or placed at service in their respective districts. It is still necessary to transfer many inmates soon after committal, as the Magistrates in some cases still continue to send special classes of children to industrial schools which are not intended for them —for instance, now and then girls suited for an industrial school proper are sent to Burnham, which is a reformatory for boys. The interests of boarded-out children are looked after by the managers and by the official correspondents at the several centres; they are also visited monthly or oftener by the local lady visitors, who send monthly reports on all inmates to the managers. Inmates licensed to service, or with friends, are visited by the managers in the case of Government industrial schools, and it is desirable that the same plan should be followed in respect of private industrial schools; so far, however, the managers of those schools have not seen their way to carry it out completely. Two officers of the Department act as Assistant Inspectors of industrial schools; one of them is also the chief clerk in charge of this important branch, and the other also carries out, with two other officers specially appointed for the purpose, the work of making a regular visitation of all the boarded-out children, and of such of the inmates at service and with friends as the managers have not been able to visit lately, and of such others as the Department may think it necessary. It is intended that as soon as possible a lady shall be appointed to take part in this work, with especial reference to girls placed out at service. General regulations relating to all the divisions of industrial school work have now been gazetted ; and, as this is the first time that such general regulations have been issued, it may be as well to call attention here to the chief features embodied in them. Except in a few details the regulations are made to apply equally to Government and to private schools. Ample powers are given for the thorough inspection of all schools, for frequently visiting children residing away from the schools, and for auditing wages and other accounts. In the case of private schools, managers not residing at the schools are required to inspect the institution at least once a week, and. to make themselves fully conversant with the details of management and acquainted with each inmate. The medical officer of a school has wide powers. He has the right to visit at any time, but there must be a monthly inspection. He is responsible that the physical well-being of inmates is attended to, and that the rules of sanitation are observed. The punishment - book is to be regularly produced to him. Managers are enjoined to co-operate with medical officers. Inmates are, throughout the year, to have at least one warm bath weekly. Underclothing is to be changed weekly. Closets are to be readily accessible to dormitories. Bedding is to be comfortable in all respects. Provision is to be made for the safety of inmates in case of fire. An Official Visitors' book is to be kept. Directions are given to insure that the food is in all respects satisfactory, and that it is sufficiently varied. Full provision is made for the proper clothing of inmates. Industrial training is to be thorough and regular for all inmates of suitable age, and female inmates are to receive domestic training. The attention of inmates is to be directed to rural life, and they are to be taught dairy-work,

E.—l

XXV

poultry-keeping, gardening, &c. Military drill, swimming, and life-saving are to be taught. Proper provision is to be made for inmates' recreation, and libraries are to be provided. Thorough classification is to be maintained. Facilities for religious training are to be given. Careful supervision over inmates is enjoined. Each dormitory must be under the supervision of an officer. Lights are to be shown in dormitories. Managers are to visit dormitories at least once nightly. Inmates licensed out are to be regularly visited, and complaints of licensed inmates are to be promptly attended to. An inmate who absconds or damages property may be fined. Inmates who through misconduct frequently return to the schools may be required to contribute from their accumulated earnings towards the cost of their maintenance at the schools. Inmates who for special reasons cannot be licensed out may be remunerated for their services at the schools. Monetary rewards and badges for good conduct may be given. A certain relaxation of the regulations formerly in force relating to corporal punishment has been made, though, as the maximum amount of punishment has been more carefully denned, the effect is not to make any very great difference. In connection with this form of correction it must be borne in mind that the class of inmates to be dealt with is the class that is most difficult to manage at the public schools, while in the reformatories many of the inmates are so degenerate that kindness and moral suasion are to them indications of weakness on the part of the officers. In the report of the proceedings of the National Conference of Charities and Correction, held in 1900, at Topeka, Kansas, the Superintendent of one of the State industrial schools, in the course of an address, and while advocating the superiority of the system of "rewards for merit," says: "Yet, do not misunderstand me; there are cases that come to all—at least, they come to me —when sterner measures are necessary. To hesitate then is to strengthen in the mind of the offender the idea of your weakness," &c. And again, "In my judgment, when you punish it is best to use plain so-called corporal punishment." The punishments in industrial schools and in reformatories have been differentiated; in the latter they are the more severe. As a rule the punishments to be inflicted will be such as may be lawfully inflicted by schoolmasters. Managers may inflict the punishment or may depute officers to do so in their presence. In general the officer reporting the offence is not to be the one to inflict punishment. A cane or leather strap is to be the instrument for punishing boys, and a strap for girls; twelve strokes to be the maximum. Under careful restrictions, and for grave offences, male inmates may be birched on the bare breech, but the birch must be approved by the medical officer ; the maximum of strokes is twelve. Both males and females may be put in cells for a maximum of ten hours in industrial schools and a week in reformatories. Under proper restrictions, dietary discipline may be used. Badges of degradation may be used only with the approval of the Minister. A register of punishments is tc be kept, and a copy is to be sent to the Education Department monthly. The regulations relating to inmates who are licensed to reside away from the schools are founded on the practice of the past nineteen years. For the first time, however, it is recognised that a foster-parent may administer corporal chastisement to boarded-out children. Provision is made for limiting the amount of work which a foster-parent may cause a boarded-out child to do. Of the 139 inmates who during the year 1901 ceased to be under the control of the schools 80 were discharged by warrant, 35 attained twenty-one years of age, 7 were transferred to the Costley Training Institution, 7 were married, and 10 died. As in the preceding year, the number of deaths (10) was above the average. The certificates of the medical attendants show that of the 5 inmates who were in residence at the time of death 2 died, of gastro-enteritis, 1 of inanition, 1 of gastro-intestinal catarrh, and 1 of tubercular meningitis ; in hospital there was one death from intestinal perforation ; a boy at service was accidentally shot; and 3 boarded-out children died of bronchitis, disease of the brain, and tubercular meningitis respectively. The number of admissions during the year (197) shows an increase of 6 over the number for 1900. Of these 43 were sent from Dunedin, 40 from Wellington, 34 from Auckland, and 31 from Christchurch. Of the remaining 49 children, no one town or country district sent more than 7 to the schools. iv—E. 1,

From information taken from the Magistrates' orders for admission it is found that 101 children are to be brought up in the Church of England denomination, 56 as Roman Catholic, 24 as Presbyterian, 14 as Methodist, 1 as Baptist, and 1 as belonging to the Salvation Army.

TABLE U. —Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1901.

At the end of 1901 there was in the Post-Office Savings-Bank on account of the earnings of inmates of Government industrial schools a sum of £11,508 19s. 3d., and on account of inmates of private industrial schools £1,901 9s. 4d. For inmates of Government schools a sum of £1,133 os. 9d. was withdrawn during the year, and for inmates of private schools £49 10s. 6d. In Table W is shown the cost of the Government schools, in which is included the expenditure for the maintenance of inmates boarded out and the salaries of the resident staffs and medical officers ; it also shows the cost of supervision of all inmates who are licensed to reside away from the schools; and, further, the amounts of the recoveries from Charitable Aid Boards, from persons against whom orders for maintenance have been made, and from the sale of farm produce, &c.

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

TABLE X.—Government Expenditure on Private Schools (R.C.), 1901.

The Government or Charitable Aid Boards paid for the maintenance of the 32 children previously stated to be in corrective or other institutions or homes. The payments made by the Government were as follows : Eescue Home, Auckland, £2 '25.; St. Mary's Home, Karori, £23 Bs. ; Levin Memorial Home, Wellington, £28 125.; private home (special treatment), £29 Bs. 7d. ; St. Mary's Home, Richmond, Christchurch, £56 17s. sd; Samaritan Home, Christchurch, £18 25.; Mount Magdala, Christchurch, £146 16s. 4d. Six children belonging to St. Joseph's, Wellington, and St. Mary's, Nelson, private industrial schools were boarded at the Mission Home, Jerusalem, Wanganui (Mother Aubert's) — 4 for the whole year and 2 for ten months—the Government paying during the year £96 4s. for their maintenance. School for Deaf-mutes. The inclusion in the School Attendance Act of last session of provisions dealing with blind and deaf children marks an important step in the education of these unfortunate members of the community. Hitherto many parents, either through carelessness or wilfully, have neglected to send such children to the institutions maintained for their special instruction ; but now the Minister of Education has the power to enforce attendance, due provision being made for a contribution by parents towards the cost of maintenance or for free admission where parents are not in a position to contribute. The immediate consequence is an unusual increase in the number of candidates for admission to the Sumner School for Deaf-mutes, a fact which renders all the more urgent the need for new buildings. It is accordingly a matter for satisfaction that the plans have been completed, and a contract has been let for the erection of a portion of the buildings. In the design it has been arranged that the dormitories shall be on the ground floor, although raised somewhat above the level of the ground; this, together with special contrivances, will, it is hoped, take away even the remotest danger to life in case of fire. The class-rooms will be on the first floor, and, although such an arrangement may possess a few slight disadvantages, the arrangement has the great advantage that it will enable the rooms in which instruction is given to be extremely well lighted, always an important point in teaching children on the purely oral system. As regards the adoption of that system, it is a matter for congratulation that this colony from the first adopted the oral method of teaching, in which children are taught to converse by watching the lips of others. In America, where manual and mixed methods were at first largely in vogue, they are being rapidly discarded in favour of oral instruction, and New Zealand has accordingly been saved the expense and inconvenience of changing from inferior systems of deaf-mute education to that which is now almost universally admitted to be the best. Those called (improperly) semi-mutes, who possess in some degree the sense of hearing and have to a slight extent the power of articulation, need special treatment; such cases appear to be most successfully dealt with when they are boarded out with hearing people in the neighbourhood of the institution, and are taught in special classes. There are also some pupils that have hitherto

escaped notice, and are now too old to live among children or to receive instruction with them. Where it is still possible to do something to relieve their affliction, and to educate them, these cases may be admitted; but such individuals also should be boarded out, and should be taught in special classes. It does not, however, appear fair that the cost of maintenance, apart from that of instruction, should be borne by the Education Department. If their friends cannot afford to maintain them, their maintenance at the institution is really a relief to the rates, and in cases where, say, the inmate is over twenty-one the cost should presumably be borne by the Charitable Aid Boards. Three boys and 3 girls left the school during the year (4 after the close of the school year), and 6 boys and 4 girls were admitted. At the end of the year the number in residence was 28 boys and 21 girls, 3 boys and 1 girl more than at the end of 1900. The expenditure on the institution for the year 1901 was, — Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,384 14s. 3d. ; steward, matron, and servants, ,£529 os. 10d. ; rent, £178 6s. 3d.; housekeeping, £681 2s lid.; travellingexpenses, £116 10s. 3d.; school material, £51 4s. Id.; repairs and works, £42 4s. 9d.; clothing, £13 Bs. 3d. ; medical attendance and medicine, £31 2s. 9d. ; water-supply, £30 Bs.; sanitation, £20 Is.; boarding-out of pupils, £104 3s. Bd. ; for the preparation of plans of the new buildings, £61 2s. Bd. ; extension of water-service, £79 Bs. 7d.; sundries, £50 17s. Id. : total expenditure, £3,267 2s. Bd. Deducting recoveries, £170 Is. 9d. (parents' contributions), the net expenditure was £3,097 os. lid. The amount expended in 1900, was £5,243 16s. 9d., of which £2,233 16s. 9d. was paid to complete the purchase of the new site. Two deaf-mute children who, from having received partial training on the manual or sign system, were ineligible for admission to our own institution were maintained in the Victorian School for the Deaf, at a cost of £30 18s. 6d.; and one was under a private teacher in Auckland, to whom a fee of £26 was paid by the Department. Institute for the Blind. The Jubilee Institute for the Blind, at Auckland, is a private institution, and not in any way under Government control. Being, however, a " separate institution" under the Hospitals and Charitable Aid Act, it receives a subsidy at the rate of 245. in the pound upon the voluntary contributions raised by the Trustees, and, in addition, payment is made to it by the Education Department on account of pupils for whose tuition the Department is responsible. The Trustees have also received at various times grants in aid of buildings. Representations having been made to the Government as to the existence of alleged abuses in the management of the institution and the treatment of inmates, a Commission of Inquiry was set up, Mr. S. Brabant, S.M., being the Commissioner. The charges of ill-treatment of inmates seem generally not to have been sustained; but the Commissioner in his report called attention to defects in the management that in his judgment needed amendment. The chief points in the report may be summarised as follows: The principal, who is a blind man of some ability, possesses tastes that, however harmless they may be in themselves, do not seem to accord well with his position, and to some extent may interfere with his proper performance of his duties and with the comfort of the inmates. The practice of making the principal an allowance for the maintenance of inmates was condemned, as it might lead to the suspicion, even without any foundation in fact, that he stinted the inmates in food and comforts for the sake of increasing his own private profit. The dining-room required renovation and better furniture ; the workshop should lie enlarged, and a separate room should be provided for machinery, which should be fenced off; the men should have a sitting-room provided for them ; men suffering from temporary indisposition required special care ; it was desirable that trees should be planted in the grounds to afford shade for the inmates; the sanitary arrangements should be improved; and, in order that these and other matters should be thoroughly attended to, and a proper degree of efficiency maintained, the Commissioner strongly

E.—l

recommended the appointment of a sighted manager. It is a question, also, whether blind adults should not be boarded out, and receive only their instruction in the institution. These conclusions agree generally with the views of the Department, and it may further be observed that the teaching-staff of the day-school, consisting of one teacher for twenty to thirty pupils at various stages of instruction, is quite inadequate. Blind children need a large amount of individual attention, and one teacher to each eight or ten pupils would be a fair proportion. As the Government provides the greater part of the funds for carrying on the work of the institution, and the proper education of the blind is a matter immediately affecting the State, it would seem not unreasonable that the Government should have a large amount of control in the management. The subscribers and Trustees, who deserve much credit for carrying on this work voluntarily for the last thirteen years, appear to be not unwilling that there should be a large measure of Government control, and a Bill has been prepared to effect this end. The total amount paid on account of Government pupils during the year 1901 was .£332 7s. 10d. 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, and £1 for the separate tuition of a pupil in Christchurch; £41 Bs. was recovered from parents and others. The number of Government pupils at the end of 1900 was fifteen; one of these left during the year 1901, and none were admitted; the number of such pupils at the close of last year was accordingly fourteen. The remarks above referring to the compulsory education of deaf children apply also to blind children, and it is very probable that in a short time the number of blind children receiving instruction will be almost doubled, and that it will include all those of school age and of sound mind in the colony. Manual Training and Technical Instruction. During the year steady progress has been made in the formation of adult classes for technical instruction, and there has been a large increase—more than fivefold—in the classes for manual instruction in public schools, principally in the direction of introducing into the work of the preparatory classes and into the lower standard classes exercises based upon kindergarten methods. This feature is sound as far as it goes, as it seems to show that the spirit of the new movement is being rightly understood, for the change indicated by the introduction of hand-work into the school is not one affecting the mere details or machinery of school work, but is more fundamental in its character. Changes that affect only the externals of the school system, or only increase the number of disconnected subjects in the school syllabus, are sure to turn out in the end to be mere temporary devices. It has been the fashion to speak of that portion of a man's education that he receives at school as a preparation for life ; in truth, a man's education goes on throughout his whole life, and the time spent at school is not merely a preparation for life, it is part of life itself. If the manual dexterity and the regular and easy co-ordination of hand and eye and brain that lead to the development of skill in the workman or the engineer, the artist or the surgeon, be not developed in youth, then there is a gap between the schoollife and the after-life that is unnatural and prejudicial to the success of the adult; for there are few occupations in which some degree of manual skill is not at one time or another useful, and none in which men or women can afford to be without that all-round training of the mind that can be obtained only by combining the exercise of the muscular activities with that of the observation, reason, and memory. The instincts of the child herein guide him aright ; he is constantly examining objects and seeking for some fresh outlet for his muscular activities. (As every instinct corresponds to some reality, no instinct should be overlooked ; but every instinct should either be trained or be guided aright in the years of childhood.) These instincts are not such as mark the brute, but belong to the higher human intelligence, and they must therefore be taken seriously as indications of undeveloped powers, which need to be directed and disciplined, not suppressed, until they appear as scientific habit and manual skill in the youth and the adult. The new

XXIX

XXX

method of treatment accordingly extends not to one or two subjects of the curriculum, but, more or less, to nearly all. Besides the advantage derived from the fact that manual training brings into the school course a natural co-ordination by co-ordinating all the subjects of that course with life, its introduction into the schools gives opportunity to discover aptitudes that would otherwise perhaps be unsuspected, and. to develop the pupils in such a way that they make intelligent use of this opportunity. It is evident that only a beginning can be made in the elementary school; hence the necessity for carrying on the work more completely in continuation and technical classes, and in the secondary schools and university colleges. Professor John Dewey, one of the foremost men in matters of education in the United States at the present time, lays great stress on the points just referred to, and pertinently asks, " Now that the great value of manual training has come to be recognised in secondary " (and, we may add, primary) " schools, why should not all the pupils have the benefit of it?" Again, he says " Domestic science should be classed with science studies, and as such be provided with a laboratory." And, if domestic science, why not, it may be added, agricultural science and the practical and scientific work that forms the basis of the other industries of life? In the elementary school all that can be clone is to keep this ajm in view, and to shape the course so that a firm foundation may be laid. A sound though rudimentary course of naturestudy, the continuous training of hand and eye, and the development, by easy measurements, experiments, and observations performed by each child for himself or herself, of a habit of knowing things themselves are the main characteristics that should mark this side of a pupil's work in the public school. There are now (July, 1902) 360 classes established in various parts of the colony under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, exclusive of school classes. The number last year was 293. Of the total of 360, 35 are continuation classes; the remainder are classes for manual or technical instruction. The number of school classes in operation last year was 132 ; the number in operation now (July, 1902) is 700. Of these, 18 are established in connection with secondary schools ; the rest are in public elementary schools. Of the latter, 231 are connected with town schools, and 451 with schools in country districts. It is hoped that with the issue of the new standard syllabus shortly to be gazetted there will be a marked increase in the number of " hand-work " classes established in connection with the upper standards. Last year (1901) special grants, amounting to i 51,875 in all, were 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 " Hand-work " in school classes. The grant, which is intended to cover the cost of the training in manual and technical work of pupil-teachers and normal-school students as well as of teachers already on the staffs of the schools, is to be renewed this year. From the reports that have been received, the several amounts seem to have been used in a careful and judicious way, and no doubt results will show that the money has been wisely expended. New regulations were issued at the beginning of the present year, removing many of the restrictions that seemed necessary at first, and simplifying the mode in which grants are obtained. Further experience shows that still more simplification is possible, and the regulations will be further amended in this direction. Many local bodies having shown a disposition to assist in promoting technical education, but being doubtful as to their right to representation on the bodies of managers of associated classes, a short Bill will be introduced to make it clear that such local bodies have the same powers as the associations already specifically named in the Manual and Technical Instruction Act of 1900. The result will probably be the formation of strong " associated classes" in all the chief centres, under the Boards of Education as controlling authorities, but having their own managers representing all the bodies combining in the work. Such a course will probably tend both to efficiency and economy of money and of effort.

The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1901 was 783, of whom 274 were women. Of these students, 581 were matriculated at the University of New Zealand. The numbers in attendance at the several colleges were as follows : University of Otago, 160 men and 50 women matriculated, and 26 men and 1 woman not matriculated; at Canterbury College, 95 men and 53 women matriculated, and 18 men and 54 women not matriculated; at Auckland University College, 81 men and 30 women matriculated, and 30 men and 41 women not matriculated; and at Victoria College, 75 men and 37 women matriculated, and 24 men and 8 women not matriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.-7, E.-8, E.-9, arid E.-10 respectively. " The Univeusity 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, 1902, to .£5,757 17s. Id., as follows: Canterbury reserves, £2,102 18s. 4d.; Westland, £239 12s. 6d. ; Taranaki, £3,415 6s. 3d. Civil Service Examinations. As usual the Civil Service Examinations were conducted this year (in January) by the Education Department simultaneously with the examination for teachers' certificates. There were 467 candidates for the Junior Civil Service Examination, and the names of 294 were published in order of merit in the Gazette of the 27th February. For the Senior Civil Service Examination there were 143 candidates, of whom 23 passed. Further particulars are given in the report of the examination (E.-1a). Teachebs fob South Afbica. In March of the present year a letter was received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on behalf of the Administration of the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies, asking that twenty women teachers might be sent to assist in the work of instructing the children in the refugee camps in South Africa. In response to an advertisement 220 teachers sent in applications through the Boards of the various education districts in which they were resident; about seventy of these were well-qualified candidates, and there was no difficulty in selecting twenty who satisfied all the conditions as to physique, experience, and other qualifications laid down by the Imperial authorities. The selected teachers were despatched from the colony on the 7th May, and on arrival in South Africa were at once appointed to posts in the camps in Natal and the Transvaal. Accounts received from them show that the shipping authorities and the colonial authorities in South Africa have done everything possible to provide for their comfort and safe transit. Subsidies fob Public Libbabies. By a vote of last session a sum of j£3,000 was granted for subsidies to public libraries; the same amount was voted for distribution in 1900-1. The method of distribution of the vote for 1901-2 was the same as that adopted in the previous year, as follows : A nominal addition of £25 was made to the amount of the

E.—l

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 20th November, 1901, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy wa-s the Bth February, 1902, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 369 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 10 - 25 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £19 ss. sd. to £5 4s. b'd. Some libraries supplied with the proper form failed to send in formal claims by the 31st January, 1902, 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 twenty 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 tbe previous year shall have been expended in the purchase of books. The following table shows the distribution according to education districts :—

REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

AUCKLAND. Sir,— Auckland, March, 1902. In compliance with section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings for the year 1901: — Boabd.—The members in office at the beginning of the year were Messrs. L. J. Bagnall (Chairman), J. Blades, T. Cooper, E. Farrell, W. Lambe, S. Luke, J. D. McKenzie, N. A. McLeod, and Dr. McArthur, Twenty-five meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. The meetings of the Board are held fortnightly, a committee of four members meeting to deal with matters of finance and the selection of teachers for appointments prior to each meeting. Mr. Cooper resigned in February, and was succeeded by Mr. J. Muir. The annual election of three members resulted in the election of Mr. Bagnall, Mr. B. Hobbs, and Mr. J. G. Eutherford. Dr. McArthur resigned in July, and Mr. Luke was elected without a contest to fill the vacant seat. Schools.—At the end of the year there were 395 schools in operation. Seventeen new schools were opened during the year, and the following three schools were closed: Tokatea (halftime), Otakeo, Te Eau-a-moa. The last-named school has since been reopened. Of the 395 schools, 58 are half-time, and the number of separate schools is reckoned by the the Department as 366. Of that number, 100 schools have an average attendance not exceeding twenty scholars. In 266 schools the average attendance does not exceed fifty. There is an unceasing demand for the establishment of small schools in outlying districts, and requests are not infrequently received for the grant of a capitation allowance towards the maintenance of a teacher in a household where there is not a sufficient number of children to justify the establishment of a separate school. Hitherto the Board has hesitated to grant aid in such cases, but the institution of a colonial scale, which provides a capitation grant for each unit of attendance, would seem to warrant the Board in granting aid where the household is beyond reach of a public school. Teachbes. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 812, besides 73 teachers of sewing. In compliance with the ruling of the Minister, the Board has been reluctantly obliged to terminate the engagements of all sewing-teachers, inasmuch as the colonial scale makes no provision for their employment. It should be noted that, while the smaller schools are more efficiently taught by lady teachers, there are some remote and isolated districts where none other than a male teacher can be located, and it seems unfair that the children in those districts should be deprived of the only available means of instruction in needlework, which has hitherto been provided for them at a yearly cost of £5 for each school. The effect of the colonial scale in this district has been to diminish the number of pupilteachers by eighty and to increase the number of assistants by fifty. But the Board has exercised to the fullest extent its privilege of retaining (for two years) the services of pupilteachers in schools between thirty-five and forty average attendance. These schools afford an excellent training ground for young pupil-teachers. The undue preponderance of pupil-teachers in the staffing of schools is now removed, and a greater efficiency may be looked for in the future ; but in order to complete the system it is necessary that a training college should be established for the training of pupil-teachers after their term of apprenticeship, and the Board trusts that the Government will make an early fulfilment of its promise in this matter. The Saturday classes for the instruction of pupil-teachers are being continued for the present, as a supplement to the instruction which head teachers are required to give them in the school. The new colonial scale of staff makes no provision for the employment of relieving or substitute teachers. In a large district such as Auckland, with a staff of more than eight hundred teachers of all grades, there is frequent occasion for sending teachers to take places temporarily vacated through illness or other urgent cause. Hitherto the Board has exercised a discretionary power in case of need by supplementing the staff of a school under special circumstances, such as a sudden increase in the attendance. It is feared that the new regulations fall short of requirements in this respect, and that the withdrawal of such power from the Board will result in no little inconvenience and hardship. Changes of teachers from one position to another, often involving considerable expense, are frequent in this district, and cannot be avoided. Hitherto the Board has from its funds reimbursed the teachers (either in whole or in part) for the extra outlay. This expense must now be borne by the teachers themselves, as the colonial scale makes no provision in the matter.

E.—l

While cordially approving the increase in the scale of remuneration of teachers, and the granting of house allowance to head teachers for whom no residence is provided, the Board felt bound to enter its protest against the inadequate provision made for the maintenance of small schools with an average of twenty and under. The Board again reiterates its opinion that such schools cannot be fairly dealt with on a capitation basis. The disparity in the salaries of first and second assistant masters is also a defect which should be rectified. Attendance. —The roll-number of scholars at the end of 1900 was 28,045, and at the end of 1901 the number was 28,387. The average attendance for the last quarter of 1901 was 24,401, as compared with 23,968 for the corresponding quarter of 1900. It is satisfactory to note an improvement in regularity of school attendance. The new Act contains several improvements, and will tend to check habits of truancy. Scholarships. — Twenty-five senior and fifty-four junior district scholarships were under tenure at the end of the year, besides seven held by girls under special regulations and derived from the income of the Auckland Girls' High School Endowment. Satisfactory reports were received of the conduct, diligence, and progress of the holders. Distkict High Schools. —With the sanction of the Minister, the Coromandel and Waihi Schools have been brought under the district high school scheme, and the Board hopes soon to be in a position to extend the benefits of secondary instruction to other schools also. Technical Instruction. —Very little has been done during the year in the formation of school classes. The Board has undertaken the management of the Auckland Technical School, and applications have been invited by advertisement within the colonies and in England for a director. At present the work of the school is carried on under great disadvantage in a rented building quite inadequate for the purpose. Finance.—The total income for the year, including a balance of £3,501 18s. 3d. brought forward from 1900, amounted to £113,812 Bs. 3d. The total expenditure for the year on maintenance and buildings amounted to £113,952 7s. 2d., leaving a debit cash balance of £139 18s. lid. at the end of the year. Against this debit balance must be set the sum of £394 3s. 4d., being the December quarterly grant for scholarships, which was in transit through the bank from Wellington at the end of the year, and a further sum of £1,718 Is. Bd. due from the Treasury as a refund of additions to teachers' salaries paid by the Board for the December quarter. Under the new financial arrangements consequent upon the passing of "The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," the painting and repair of school buildings will become a charge upon the Building Fund. A special item of expenditure during the year was a sum of £99 2s. 7d., incurred in connection with the Eoyal visit. The statement includes the maintenance of the Auckland Technical School during the period of eight months from May to December, in respect of which the Board received £313, and expended £344, leaving a debit balance of £31, of which about £29 is covered by capitation fees yet to be received from Government for the last term of the year. The statutory capitation grant of £3 15s. for maintenance was applied (approximately) as follows : On teachers' salaries and allowances, £3 3s. 9d. per head* ; grants to School Committees, including small repairs, ss. lid. per head ; inspection and examination, 2s. 2-J-d. per head ; cost of Board's management, 2s. 1-Jd. per head. A comparison of the income and expenditure for general maintenance shows a surplus balance of £283 7s. 9d. for the year. At the 31st December there was a net credit balance of £2,121 6s. 3d. on Maintenance Account after providing for all liabilities thereon to date. The total income on Building Fund Account, including a balance of £792 unexpended at the beginning of the year, was £11,964 Bs. 10d., and the expenditure during the year was £13,468 19s. 7d., leaving a balance of £1,504 10s. 9d. due to Maintenance Account. The liabilities for works in progress amounted to £4,832 11s. Bd., making a total liability of £6,337 2s. sd. on this account at the end of the year. Against this liability there were the following assets : £2,375, balance of ordinary building grant to 31st March, and £250, to be realised by the sale of the teacher's residence at Paeroa. Further works to the extent of £3,340 had been authorised but not yet begun ; and, besides these, there were other works projected when funds should be available, and estimated to cost £5,960. Buildings.—Seven new schools have been built, the principal work being the erection of a new and commodious school at Onehunga. Two residences have been erected. Five schools and three teachers' houses have been enlarged. There has been a considerable outlay in repairs and improvements to existing buildings. Two experienced foremen carpenters are employed continuously in this work. The funds provided for building purposes are quite inadequate to meet requirements. Miscellaneous. —Special attention has been given to instruction in military drill. The formation of school cadet corps has been continued, and at the end of the year there were twentyseven corps in active operation. The visit of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York in June of last year was celebrated by the granting of an extra week's holiday, an effective muster of the school cadets, and the issue of commemoration medals to all school-children. The New Zealand ensign has been supplied by Government to all schools at which a flagstaff has been erected, and the Board has appointed certain dates for the hoisting of school flags in commemoration of events of historical importance.

i • This computation does not disolose the total actual cost of teachers' salaries during the year, which was £3 9e. 4d. per head.

E.—l

Much valuable assistance has been received from School Committees in the local management and supervision of school matters. The friendly relations previously existing between Committees and the Board have been maintained and strengthened during the past year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. L. J. Bagnall, Chairman.

TAEANAKI. Sir, — 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 1901 : — The Board. —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. L. Kennedy, H. Faull, B. A. Hignett, J. Mackay, and J. Wade. Miss Jessie Heywood and Messrs. E. G. Allsworth and B. A. Hignett retired in the terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Seven candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies, and the voting in July resulted in the re-election of the retiring members. The Board held twentythree ordinary and one special meeting during the year. Schools. —There was only one fresh school opened during the year, and that was at Purangi, which was run as a half-time school in conjunction with Matau. The number of schools open at the end of the year was sixty-five. Teachers.—The number of teachers in the Board's service, including sewing-teachers, was 139. Thirty-four pupil-teachers were employed, and at the annual examination twenty-eight were examined, and only two failed. Of the thirty-four pupil-teachers employed at the end of the year only five 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. School Attendance.—The roll-number and the average attendance for the last quarter of the year were 4,334 and 3,556 respectively. Scholarships.—There were forty-seven candidates for the scholarship examinations, and of these thirty-eight qualified. Scholarships were awarded to four boys and three girls. As the Board of Governors of the New Plymouth High School generously offered free tuition to fifteen candidates to be recommended by the Inspector, the number of those who have benefited as a result of the scholarship examination is unusually large. In addition to the scholarshipholders, there are now at the New Plymouth High School eleven ex-pupils of the district schools, and at the Stratford District High School twenty, receiving free tuition in secondary subjects. Buildings.—The infants' school at Stratford, for which a contract was let last year, has been completed. New schools have been erected at Pohokura and Durham Eoad, and the old building at Durham Eoad has been converted into a residence. Owing to the prosperous state of the dairying industry during the last few years, a large extent of land formerly used as runs for cattle and sheep has been turned into dairy farms, causing the district to be more thickly settled, and the Board now finds that several of the schools that were quite large enough for the requirements when built now require extensive additions, and also additional schools are needed. The Board finds itself very much hampered for the want of funds to carry out the necessary works, as to keep the buildings and furniture in proper repair would absorb the whole of the present grant. Finance. —The income of the Board from all sources, including £3,380 3s. sd. balance on the 31st December, 1900, was £19,448 6s. Id., and the expenditure £17,851 15s. Bd., leaving a credit balance of £1,596 10s. sd. Against this balance are liabilities that fully cover the same. The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act of 1901, which came into force on Ist January, 1902, provides for the payment of the sum of £250, together with the sum of 11s. 3d. per annum for each child in average daily attendance at a public school. This is to meet the Board's general expenses, including the Inspector's salary and travelling-expenses. And as the Board has had the greatest difficulty in the past in making the receipts cover the expenses, and as on the present average attendance the Board will receive less by about £250 than it would have done under the old arrangement, it does not see how it can possibly meet its expenses without the Department increasing the grant. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Duncan McAllum, Chairman,

Inspector's Report. Thirty-one pupils were present at the examination. Latin was very good in Class IV., and the average in the other classes was fair. English in Classes 1., 11., and IV. was good, and in Class 111. indifferent. French was very good in Classes 1., 11., and IV., and fair in Class 111. Euclid in Class I. showed very satisfactory progress, but was weak in the other classes. Algebra was excellent in Classes 1., 111., and IV., and weak in Class 11. Arithmetic was excellent in Classes 111. and IV., very fair in Class 11., and fair in Class I. In Class IV. the average time spent by the pupils in secondary work had been three years six months; in Class 111., one year eleven months; in Class 11., one year ; in Class 1., four months and a half. The last class consisted in the main of pupils who during the year had passed Standard VI. with credit at other schools, and consequently had been granted free tuition. No pupil had been longer than six months in the class. On the whole, sound work had been done, and there was much that was commendable both on account of the diligence of the pupils and on account of the skill of the teachers. On the other hand, there might have been more thoroughness in some of the work. This was very noticeable in Class 111., and in the Euclid and algebra of Class 11. The provision made for the teaching of science is most inadequate at present. There are no proper appliances and conveniences, and the instruction is therefore of a most empirical character. Such a school as the Stratford District High School cannot be considered complete until equipped for the efficient teaching of this branch of knowledge, which is so important and is so rapidly increasing in importance. W. E. Spencer, Inspector.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Education Office, Wanganui, 31st March, 1902. I have the honour to present the annual report of this Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1901. Board.—At the annual election of members in August, under the new Act, the only change which took place was in the election of Mr. James W. Baker, who replaced Mr. W. T. Wood, of Palmerston North. The Board is now composed of Messrs. G. S. Bridge (Chairman), Frederick Pirani, M.H.E., the Rev. John Ross, F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.R., B. C. Bobbins, W. Corry, F. M. Spurdle, R. A. Adams, and James W. Baker. Schools. —The December return of 1901 showed that the Board had 150 schools in operation. During the year new schools were opened at Lytton Street (Feilding), Masterton - Tenui, Pakihikura, Tauporae, Brownlee, Huripari, Komako, Makotuku, and Mount Curl. The schools at Koeka and Motoroa, open at the end of 1900, were closed during the year. Attendance.—The average roll-number for the year was 11,074, and the average attendance was 9,097. Teaching Staff. —At the close of the year there were 304 teachers in the Board's employ, 136 being males and 168 females. Since the close of the year all the schools have been restaffed in accordance with "The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901." Buildings.—The past year has been a very busy one with the Board in connection with the building and repairs to schools and residences. During the year the following buildings were erected : Schools at Pakihikura and Lytton Street (Feilding); schools and residences (combined) at Masterton-Tenui, Makotuku, and Ohakune. Residences were built at Matapu and Kiwitea, and additions to schools and residences at many other places. Contracts were let for the erection of schools at Awahou South, Livingstone, and Waitohi. The Building Committee has very carefully supervised the expenditure on these works, and makes a regular monthly report to the Board. A large number of the buildings now require painting, and it is the Board's intention to invite tenders for the work at an early date. Committees' School Fond.—The Board is very anxious to increase the Committees' School Fund as soon as the funds at their disposal will permit. At present they do not feel justified in doing so, as the} 7 must wait and ascertain how the grant under the new Act will work out. District High Schools.—During the year the Board, at the request of the Committees, and with the sanction of the Education Department, has converted the Wanganui Boys', Feilding, Hawera, and Marton Schools into district high schools, and the attendance of pupils has fully justified its action in the matter. It has since been decided to convert the College Street (Palmerston North) School into a district high school, and to combine the Technical School with it. With this end in view Government has been asked to make a grant for the purpose of erecting suitable accommodation, and the Board trusts that its request will soon be acceded to. In the meantime a building has been rented, and the school has commenced under most favourable circumstances.

B.—l

Cadet Corps and Deill. —Cadet corps have been established at eleven schools. Although some of these corps are considerably over the regulation strength, they labour under the great disadvantage of not having a regular drill-instructor. More than a year ago the Board applied to the Department for the services of qualified drill-sergeants, and arranged for the teachers to assemble at Wanganui, Palmerston North, and Hawera to receive instruction on Saturdays. Nothing, however, has yet been done in the matter, with the result that the teachers and cadets are left to their own devices, to drift along as best they may —a state of things which is most unsatisfactory. Technical Schools. —The technical schools at Wanganui, Palmerston North, and Hawera are in full operation. The Wanganui School is now made use of for teaching science and other subjects to the pupils of the Wanganui District High School. Classes are also held in connection with the City and Guilds of London for plumbing, &c. The art classes are also continued as usual; so that the school is not only doing useful work, but under the remodelled staff, referred to in my last report, is in a much more satisfactory condition. The schools at Palmerston North and Hawera are both suffering from want of proper accommodation. The Board has been advised of a grant for the purpose of erecting suitable rooms at Hawera, and the work will be proceeded with at once. At Palmerston North, however, where there are good classes, a building has still to be rented, which is not only unsatisfactory from a financial point of view but the accommodation itself is quite unsuitable for the work which is required. The Board therefore trusts that the Department will at once see that steps are taken to provide a suitable building for this important institution. Kindergarten Classes. —By the courtesy of the Wellington Education Board three of this Board's female teachers were sent to Wellington to study the kindergarten system at one of the Wellington schools. The instruction thus received, combined with that given at the late Wanganui Summer School, under the direction of the Board's Chief Inspector, has enabled some of the teachers to obtain a fair grasp of the system, and as soon as materials are supplied by the Department the work will be commenced without delay. Truancy.—During the year the Truant Inspector paid 482 visits to various schools, an average, not counting those visits made in June and December, of forty-eight schools visited each month. He inquired closely into sanitary matters at each school on the occasion of his visit, and furnished each School Committee with a copy of his report to the Board when any sanitary matters were defective. Each of the schools named in his monthly report has been visited every two months, with the exception of those in and around Palmerston, which have been visited monthly. During the year the Inspector travelled about 4,500 miles. The average attendance for the year has been 84 - 4 per cent, of the roll-numbers. By direct effort of the Inspector twenty pupils have been placed on the rolls, and, in addition, 104 children were traced after leaving a school district, and found to be on the rolls of other schools. Four hundred and seventy-eight summonses for irregular attendance were issued, with the following results : Fines, 262 ; convictions (no fine), 81; dismissed, 52 ; withdrawn, 32 ; not heard (the Stipendiary Magistrate ruling that the Truant Inspector had no status in Court under the Act of 1901), 51. In 1900 the figures were : Summonses issued, 736; fines, 421; no fine, 59; dismissed, 157; withdrawn, &c, 99. " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901." —On the 6th December, a special meeting of the Board was convened for the purpose of adjusting the teaching staff under the new Act. This was a work requiring considerable care, and involving much labour. The task was however, accomplished, not only in good time, but with satisfaction generally to the teachers and Committees. Pupil-teachers.—At the usual examination in June 59 candidates presented themselves. Of these, 17 were first class, 19 were second class, and 23 were third class. In the first class 14 passed and 3 failed ; in the second class 11 passed and 8 failed; in the third class 18 passed and 5 failed. Scholarships.—At the annual competition for scholarships, which was held in December, 36 candidates competed for the senior, and 32 for the junior. Of the seniors, 12 qualified for scholarships and 24 failed ; of the juniors, 6 qualified and 26 failed. In the senior class, 3 boys and 1 girl were granted scholarships of £40 a year each for three years. In the junior class, 1 boy and 1 girl were awarded scholarships of £40 a year each for two years, 1 boy £5 a year for two years and free tuition at an approved school, 1 girl £15 a year for two years, and 1 boy £17 10s. a year for two years, the latter being the balance of the grant. Swimming and Ambulance. —A swimming class was formed at the Wanganui Girls' School and has been attended by as many girls as could be accommodated at the public baths, under the direction of the instructor. It was not possible to obtain the use of the baths for the boys during school-hours, in addition to the above. An ambulance class, under the direction of the head teacher, has also been in full operation during the last quarter of the year, and has been well attended. Finance. —The statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance in the General Account of £367 11s. 5d., and there are liabilities amounting to £660 9s. 7d., leaving a debit balance of £292 18s. 2d. There is in hand the sum of £216 35., the amount subscribed by the Palmerston North residents towards the cost of the erection of a technical school, and interest to the end of the year. The Building Account shows a credit balance of £3,032 3s. The liabilities on this account amount to £2,661 13s. Id. I have, &c, Geo. S. Beidge, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WELLINGTON. Sik,— Wellington, 31st March, 1902. I have the honour to submit the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of Wellington for the year ended the 31st December, 1901: — Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of Messrs. J. R. Blair (Chairman), F. Bradey, A. W. Hogg, J. Kebbell, J. Eobertson, W. C. Buchanan, W. W. McCardle, E. Feist, and J. Young. Three members —Messrs. J. E. Blair, F. Bradey, and E. Feist—retired at the end of March, and were re-elected. Mr. Blair was re-elected Chairman and appointed Treasurer. During the year thirteen meetings have been held. Schools.—At the end of the year there were 143 schools under the control of the Board, ten of these being subsidised to the extent of the statutory capitation grant. In addition to the subsidy on the average attendance, the Board furnishes all aided schools and materially contributes towards the cost of erection. Where buildings are provided, the Board in most instances continues to pay a liberal rent for the accommodation placed at its disposal. Attendance.—The numbers at the end of the year were : On rolls, 14,893 ; average attendance, 12,655. A comparison of the quarterly returns for the year show somewhat exceptional results : Compared with 1900 returns, March quarter had an increase of 39 in average attendance on a decrease of 67 in roll-numbers. June showed that the roll-number had decreased by 139, while the average had a phenomenal increase of 527. September roll-number gave an increase of 17, but the prevailing epidemic caused a serious fall of 285 in the average attendance as compared with the figures for the corresponding period in the preceding year, and a difference of 812 on the figures for the previous quarter. December gave promise of an approaching return to the steady progress recorded in earlier years, the children on the registers having increased by 226, with a still more marked improvement in the average attendance, those figures having increased by 310. The hopes of a more satisfactory financial year were, however, dispelled when the September returns were recorded. Teachebs.—The number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year was 129 males and 276 females. The classification of the 162 pupil-teachers was, —First year, 9 ; second year, 11; third year, 25 ; fourth year, 14 ; fifth year, 19; ex-pupil-teachers, 84. Buildings.—New schools have been completed at Manuhera, Huia Eoad, Makomako, and Ihuraua, and a new building at Thorndon (Wellington City) to replace the building destroyed by fire; and residences have been provided at Waione and Dreyerton. Additions have been made to the schools at Hukanui and Gladstone. Considerable additions and improvements have been made to the school buildings in many other localities. At the beginning of the year the Building Account showed an overdraft of £2,846 11s. 4d. In addition to the Government grant of £5,200 to meet general expenditure on account of school buildings, a special payment of £3,853 3s. was received on account of buildings destroyed by fire. £71 13s. 9d. was received for rents, &c. The expenditure on account of buildings amounted to £9,382 os. lid., made up as follows : New buildings, £698 Bs. 10d.; additions and improvements, £1,685 6s. 2d.; furniture and appliances, £856 3s. 7d.; sites, £401 Is. 10d.; plans and supervision, £150 16s. ; and £4,677 18s. 2d. for rebuilding schools destroyed by fire. The sum of £912 6s. 4d. was expended for rents of schoolrooms. The total expenditure for the year was £63,357 17s. Bd. ; of this amount, £42,270 3s. 9d. was for teachers' salaries and allowances, £3,690 10s. 4d. for incidental expenses of schools, and £9,382 os. lid. on account of school buildings. On the 24th June the Terrace School (Wellington City) was destroyed by fire while placed at the disposal of the Government for the accommodation of Volunteers during the celebrations in connection with the visit of their lioyal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. Temporary buildings were rented from the trustees of St. John's Church, and considerable expenditure for new furniture and fittings became necessary. A sum of nearly £700 had to be expended to provide concrete walls to protect the face of the land at the back of the school-ground, and the street-frontage, the fire having completely destroyed the wooden face of the protection-wall and rendered the concrete walls a necessity. Every effort was made to induce the Government to restore the property in terms of the conditions under which it was placed at their disposal, but without success, and the Board's finances have consequently been unfairly hampered to a very considerable extent. The annual vote for buildings is quite inadequate to enable the Board to keep pace with the requirements of this district, and, further, it is quite impossible for the Board to do the necessary repairs, painting, &c, required to be done annually on a considerable number of the 143 schools now existing. As the new Teachers' Salaries Act deprives the Board of any margin, it was only reasonable to expect that the Department would have made arrangements by which the overdrafts of the Board would have been wiped out, and thus enable the Board to start fair with a clean sheet; but, as this has not been done, the Board will have to realise the position, and out of any surplus which can be saved out of the 11s. 3d. grant proceed to liquidate the overdraft, a result requiring time. The position of the Board may be summarised thus : (1.) An overdraft at the bank of £5,532 7s. (2.) The possible margin of the income of the Board having been cut off by the new Teachers' Salaries Act, the Board has no means of liquidating the same other than by the exercise of most rigid economy, and that out of the 11s. 3d. capitation grant. (3.) That the annual building grant for new buildings is quite inadequate, and great dissatisfaction with the Board will result. (4.) That no provision appears to be made for the upkeep of existing buildings. (5.) Under existing circumstances Boards of Education will be overwhelmed by public dissatisfaction through their inability to adequately carry out their duties. That the failure arises from no fault of the Board, but of the Government in failing to provide the necessary means, will not mitigate the feeling. The Education Board is the visible body, and will be held responsible. Scholaeships.—The annual scholarship examination was held in October, centres being established, as at last examination, at Otaki, Masterton, Pahiatua and Wellington. One hundred and eighty candidates presented themselves, and of these eighty-three qualified for a place on the list according to the regulations. Scholarships were awarded to twelve boys and twelve girls.

E.~ 1

Technical.—The Technical School now requires additional accommodation to provide for the increasing demands for new classes and more adequate space for the students now attending the : various classes already established, [n his annual report the director deals exclusively with this subject, and emphasizes the steady development of technical instruction and the pronounced success of the institution, which this year has been practically self-supporting. Inspection.—The Inspectors examined all the schools in operation, and inspected all but a few very small distant aided schools. Eight Soman Catholic schools were examined and inspected. The number of children on the rolls of the Board schools for the past year was 15,241, an increase of only thirty on the books over the number for the previous year. Including S7, 8,543 children were passed in standards, an increase of 312 in the number promoted in 1900. Eighty-five schools are classed satisfactory, forty-eight fair, and ten inferior. In the eight Eoman Catholic schools 1,079 children were presented, as against 1,112 in 1900. Of the 644 children presented in standards, 566 passed, showing that the efficiency of the schools is maintained. In the Board schools neither the standard nor the class work show any falling-oif in quality, and there is a distinct improvement generally in the class-work of all the larger schools and in that of many others, especially in grammar, word-knowledge, science, and geography. Teuancy.—Proceedings were taken against eighty-one parents to compel them to send their children to school. Convictions were recorded in every case, and fines imposed on seventy-two parents. During the year the Truant Officer called on 742 parents, representing 971 children whose attendances had been unsatisfactory. After a full explanation of the duty of parents to take steps to insure to their children the fullest benefit of education, the results were generally satisfactory, and but few instances occurred where the visit was necessary a second time. Parents now begin to realise that repeated visits from the Truant Officer are certain to be followed by proceedings in the Court. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. E. Blaie, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sic, — Education Office, Napier, 26th March, 1902. I have the honour to forward the following report of the proceedings of the Hawke's Bay Education Board for the year 1901 : — The Boabd. —The Board consists of the following members ; Eev. D. Sidey (Chairman), Messrs. C. A. Fitzroy, C. Hall, M.H.E., S. Johnson, S. McLennon, — Patterson, T. Tanner, J. G. Wostall, and Captain W. E. Russell, M.H.E. School Attendance.—The average attendance for 1901 was 6,869, while the average roll was 8,160. Schools and Eesidences.—The school at Wakarara was closed during the early portion of the year, from the fewness of the pupils attending and the difficulty of obtaining a teacher. On the urgent petition of the residents the Board agreed that the school should be reopened with the commencement of the present year.

El—l

"Additions have been made to a number of schools and teachers' residences. A "new school was arranged for at Maraetaha, to take the place of one destroyed by fire. Dannevirke side-school was made a full school, with power to teach to Standard V. The overcrowding of this school was so great that the Board arranged for a large addition to it, with the view of meeting the demand. Various other schools were enlarged, and certain residences in very necessitous districts were provided for. From the reports of the proceedings in Parliament, the Board cherished the hope that a considerable addition would be made to the building grant for 1901. In this it has been sadly disappointed, for only £75 was given in addition to the grant of last year ; hence a considerable number of applications for new schools, extensive repairs, and enlargements have had to be refused. In certain districts with increasing population, like Gisborne, and in newly settled districts, ol which there are a goodly number, real dissatisfaction has arisen among the people from the want of education for their children. From want of funds it has become practically impossible for the Board to carry out its legitimate functions. It has tried various expedients to meet urgent cases, such as requiring the residents to provide a building where the school shall be conducted on what is called "aided school" arrangement. There is doubtless a great hardship to residents in such districts, but it is unavoidable with the resources at the disposal of the Board. It gives the Board special satisfaction to single out one district where the inhabitants have nobly risen to the occasion. Rakauroa, in the Motu district, obtained a grant of £150 under the vote for schools in newly settled districts, and, with the addition of their own labour and contributions, have made good progress in rearing a structure which will meet the demands of the district for years to come. Eegarding the other schools for which similar grants were given, the Board can only repeat what it reported last year. 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 2 acres agreed to be given by the Natives for this school. It is now proposed to acquire the land under 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, 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.—Apart from frequent expressions of real dissatisfaction with the grants made to meet repairs and provide for necessary w 7 orks, the Board has again to report that its relations with the School Committees continue perfectly satisfactory. The common reply which the Board has to give of " No funds" becomes irritating, however, to those who long to see their children suitably provided with educational advantages. A few of the Committees continue to subsidise the grants of the Board with private contributions, but these continue steadily to decrease. Pupil-teachers.—Through the introduction of the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act the number of pupil-teachers has been somewhat lessened. The regulations for their instruction will also require to be altered. It will no longer be compulsory on a headmaster to do this work himself; he can divide it with his certificated teachers. No payment will be given, hence certain changes must be made in the Boards' regulations to meet the new circumstances. Technical Woek. —A hall immediately adjacent to the Training School was purchased at the beginning of the year to meet the growing needs of that school till other and more suitable premises could be obtained for the conduct of technical work. The half of this hall was set apart for technical classes under a qualified instructor, while the whole school was given up on the Saturdays for the conduct of technical classes for teachers. This arrangement has met a very great need, but cannot in the nature of the case be anything more than a temporary arrangement. Suitable buildings for the conduct of the various aspects of technical work are a real desideratum. As the year closed it became apparent that the Department of Education would require to make some modification of the syllabus to carry the sympathy of the teachers with this aspect of school training. They complain that the syllabus is'already overburdened, and that to introduce fresh subjects into it meant the lessening of efficiency in other branches. Hence, whilst the country teachers eagerly embrace the opportunity of attending the Saturday technical classes, they show no desire to introduce their work into their own schools. Time, it is hoped, will bring the requisite change. Scholarships.—There are tifty-four scholarship-holders from the public schools attending the Napier High School and the Gisborne District High School. Six of the scholarships were of the annual value of £50 4s. each, nine of £30 45., four of £16 45., ten of £12 45., and twentyfive of £10 4s. each. The larger scholarships are awarded to children who live beyond fifteen miles from the high schools, with the view of providing board as well as fees for them ; the medium ones, with the view of providing rail or coach fare to take them from and to their homes, as well as school fees; while the smaller sums simply meet the charge for school fees to those resident in the towns where the high schools exist. In consequence of the new provision for the : free admission of pupils to district high schools the arrangements for the granting of scholarships will require to be readjusted. District High Schools.—The introduction of the new District High School Regulations has brought the question of the establishment of fresh district high schools prominently before theBoard. The Gisborne District High School, in unison with the governors of the Gisborne High School, have proposed certain new arrangements to the Board with the view of establishing a free district high school. These have been referred to the Department for its sanction. Dannevirke has also moved with the view of obtaining a district high school, but had not gained any satisfactory solution of the matter up to the close of 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 was £22,057 155.: the amount paid to School Committees, £2,378 11s. Id.; and the amount expended on purchase of school-sites, erection of school buildings, repairs, &c, £2,371 4s. Bd. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. D. Sidey, Chairman.

Inspector's Report. The following remarks have reference to the character of the papers sent in. Latin. —The questions in declension were fairly well answered. Most of the pupils acquitted themselves creditably in the questions dealing with irregular verbs. The numerals were not very well known. Some of the examinees misunderstood the question on the comparison of adjectives. With a few exceptions the translation was carefully done. French. —-The results are not strong. The grammar questions were evidently beyond some of the pupils, and too many of the answers were of poor quality. The translations were better. English, I. —" Macbeth" : In this subject the candidates were more at home, and much of the work was of very fair quality. Several papers were of high merit in drawing the character of Macbeth. The paraphrasing was not so well done, although it supplies scope for the mind to dwell upon. Those who attempted the analysis did it well. English, ll. —■" Westward Ho ! " and the selections from Tennyson and Macaulay supplied plenty of scope to the general reader, and several of the candidates acquitted themselves excellently in " Westward Ho ! " The general papers brought out wide contrasts among the candidates, and some of them obtained the mark " Good," or " Very good " in this subject. Euclid. —-Some of the papers in this subject were very good, and some very bad. As a whole, the results may be set down as very fair. Algebra. —Seven pupils obtained satisfactory marks, and deserve special mention. Several of those who attempted the paper are very weak. Arithmetic. —This subject seems to have been overlooked during the year, as the methods were defective, and poverty of thought is manifested. Mechanical questions were attempted, but little else. Science. —The information was good, but illustrations were wanting, and those who did illustrate showed weakness. The drawing of illustrations as given in the text should be fostered in all scientific work. The text-book in use is an excellent one, and the pupils should be thoroughly prepared in this subject for the paper in biology in the Matriculation Examination. H. Hill, 8.A., F.G.S., Inspector of Schools for Hawke's Bay.

MAELBOBOUGH. Sib,— Blenheim, 20th February, 1902. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year ended 31st December, 1901. Board.—At the commencement of the year the Board was composed of the Hon. W. D. H. Baillie, M.L.C., John Duncan, Alfred G. Fell, Alfred J. Litchfield, Richard McCallum, the Hon. C. H. Mills, William Benoni Parker, Joseph Henry Redwood, and Arthur Penrose Seymour. Mr. Mills, greatly to the regret of the Board, resigned his seat upon taking up his residence in Wellington, and John Clervaux Chaytor was elected to fill the vacancy, this being the first election under " The Education Boards Election Act, 1900." The members retiring by rotation in August were Messrs. Baillie, Chaytor, and Seymour. The two last named were re-elected, and Mr. W. H. Macey was elected in the place of the Hon. Captain Baillie. The rejection of this gentleman, who has been a member of this Board from its first election in 1877, came as a disagreeable surprise upon the Board and to the great majority of the public of Marlborough; and, although the gentleman who was elected to fill his seat is in every way well qualified for the position, the Board cannot but regret that the first act of the newly constituted School Committees' Association should have been the deliberate rejection, without any justifiable reason, of an old and well-tried public servant who has always, both on the Board and in his place in Parliament, done his utmost to promote the cause of education in Marlborough. The Board met thirteen times during the year, and the average attendance of members was the same as it was last year— viz., six. Average Attendance. —The average attendance for the whole district for the year was 1,757, or 82-6 per cent, of the average roll-number. There can be little hope of any great or permanent improvement under the last (or any other) Attendance Act until the police are required to deal with breaches of that as they are with breaches of any other law, and the Board is glad to learn that some steps in that direction are contemplated by the Government Schools. —The number of schools open at the end of the year 1900 was sixty-six. Three of these—Elmslie Bay, Opua Bay, and Ugbrooke —were closed, and three others opened—viz., Onahau, Richmond Brook, and Te Puru. Three schools were temporarily closed during the last quarter, so that there were sixty-three schools open at the end of December. Of this number twenty-five have an average attendance below eight, and belong to Grade 0. The absolute necessity for the existence of these schools has been repeatedly demonstrated, and the Board is aware that the allowance made to small schools under the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act is, on the whole, a liberal one, but it cannot be said to provide a " living wage " to teachers of those below Grade 1. If the Government is convinced, as the Board is, that these small schools are necessary, some better provision should be made for them, or the Government should take the responsibility of closing them if it is of the contrary opinion. While admitting that the Act has done much to ameliorate the condition of teachers all over the colony, and in all grades of schools except those in Grade 0, it is still, in the opinion of the Board, capable of amendment in several directions. The difficulties experienced by teachers of schools with less than forty in average attendance might be met somewhat in the manner prevailing formerly in Marlborough, where, at thirty, a "sewing-mistress" was allowed at £12 per annum ; and, although the term " sewing-mistress " was not always appropriate, it enabled the Board to supply to such schools some assistance, of which they were, and are, greatly in need. There are nearly always to be found young persons who have passed through all the standards,

E.—l

and are willing, and indeed eager, to offer themselves as what might be called " stipendiary monitors," for even the small remuneration of £12 a year. The help thus afforded to sole teachers of schools with from twenty-five to thirty-nine in average attendance would be an immense relief, especially when, as is frequently the case, all the standard classes and the preparatory classes are represented. The Board therefore regrets that Government did not see fit to adopt the recommendation of the Education Conference of 1899, to the effect that " The annual payment to Boards be not less than £4 per pupil, and that the smaller districts receive special consideration over and above the £4 capitation." The capitation of 11s. 3d., plus £250, now given to all Boards, should be considerably increased in all districts having less than 2,000 in average attendance, especially since the subsidy for inspection has now been abolished. Building Fund.—At the end of the year under review the Board's Building Account was indebted to the General Account to the amount of £800, and the Board has been compelled to refuse, or to postpone indefinitely, all expenditure on buildings until this indebtedness shall have been removed. The facts that many of the school buildings in Marlborough were erected before the Education Act came into force, and that the amount that was then available for buildings was extremely small, rendering it absolutely necessary that the most parsimonious economy should be exercised, thus involving the use of the cheapest and least durable of timber — white-pine —in their construction, all contribute to the cause of the comparatively heavy demands now continually made upon the Board's Building Fund for the repairs and renewals of buildings that are rapidly becoming untenable. Several teachers' houses are in the last stages of decay, and the so-called dry rot is unpleasantly conspicuous in both schools and residences that have been standing for thirty years or upwards. The expenditure, too, on buildings in newly settled districts has been in excess of the extra votes granted for the purpose. Now that the grants for teachers' salaries have been specially " ear-marked" for that purpose, it is impossible (as it is decidedly undesirable) that the Board should do as it has been compelled to do in times past— i.e., meet these demands as far as possible by applying a portion of the funds intended for salaries to building purposes. A considerable expenditure has been forced upon the Board during this and the preceding year by the necessity of taking advantage of favourable opportunities for purchasing several allotments of land contiguous to the Blenheim School site. This was originally an exceedingly cramped and unsuitable playground for a school with a roll number close upon five hundred. Moreover, it was surrounded by several tenements in close proximity to the building, which were a constant source of danger by fire, to say nothing of sanitary objections. These dangers have now been completely removed by the purchase of the said allotments, and the removal of the buildings erected thereon ; and now the Board is in possession of the whole block in a ring fence and bounded on all sides by public streets. This has been a heavy drag on the Board's resources, and there is still a liability of £350 to complete the purchase ; but the Board feels sure that this expenditure, was not only judicious, but absolutely necessary both for the safety of the school buildings and for the health and convenience of the scholars. The value of land in this vicinity is steadily rising, and if these opportunities bad been neglected a very much higher price would have been demanded for the properties hereafter. Many demands upon the fund for new buildings, for replacing decayed buildings, for furniture and appliances, to say nothing of petty repairs, must be held over indefinitely unless a very substantial addition is made to the customary building grant to this district. No help can be looked for from the Committees, since they all complain of the insufficiency of the allowance they now receive, and it will be evident from what has been said above that it is entirely beyond the power of the Board to increase these allowances to any appreciable extent. Scholarships.—There are now fourteen scholarships held at the Marlborough High School, including those awarded in December last. These are partly supported by the statutory grant of Is. 6d. a head, and partly by contributions from the School Commissioners' Secondary Eeserve Fund. In addition to these scholarships, eight scholars who would otherwise have been unable to attend the High School have been granted free places therein by the Governors, under the terms of the Marlborough High School Act. There are also two others —the Carter Scholarship, founded by the late Thomas Carter, and one provided for this year by a private person. The parent who, as mentioned in my last report, last year gave up his son's right to a " country " scholarship of £35 a year for a "town" scholarship, in order to extend the benefits of secondary education to as many as possible, has again this year repeated his liberal action. Another son having gained a " country " scholarship, he has given it up in favour of a winner of a "town " scholarship who was unable to take advantage of it on account of her distance from the school. Such unselfish consideration for the good of others is not so common as to be unworthy of mention in a report of this nature, and the Board hopes that other well-to-do members of the community may be inspired to emulate the example of the person alluded to who, with characteristic modesty, " does not wish a fuss made about it," Manual and Technical Instruction Act.—No attempt has been made in this district to establish classes under this Act. ;\tthe request of the Board, Mr. Isaac, an " Organizing Inspector," was sent over to deliver a course of lectures on such subjects as can be taught in the ordinary schools. The Board requested the Committees to allow their teachers to close their schools for a week in order to attend these lectures. Nearly all those within reach of Blenheim by public conveyance did so, and their travelling-expenses were paid out of the special vote for that purpose. Time will show whether any permanent interest has been aroused amongst the teachers who attended, but it is hoped that many of them will make an effort to introduce one or two of these subjects into their schools. As far as the outside public are concerned, there does not appear to be any general desire to take advantage of the facilities offered under the Act by the establishment of special classes, no applications, even for information, having yet been made to the Board ; and it must be evident to the Minister from what has already been said in this report that the Board is powerless to do anything in this direction unless it can be made entirely self-supporting. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. A, P. Seymour, Chairman,

NELSON. Sir,— Education Office, Nelson, 19th March, 1902. 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 1901. The Board.—For another year there has been no change in the personnel of the Board, the retiring members having again been re-elected. The following are the members of the Board : viz., Messrs. George Talbot (Chairman), John D. Beuke, Thomas Bailie, Philip Best, William Lock, William Henry Phillips, William Norris Franklyn, Andrew Thomas Maginnity, and Thomas J. Baigent. During the year the Board has held twelve monthly, thirteen adjourned, and two special meetings, the average attendance at each meeting being 7'B. District High Schools. —According to the report of the Inspector, good work continues to be done at the District High School at Westport, and the increased attendance tends to prove that the establishment of the school supplies a need that must have been keenly felt. The rollnumber at the beginning of the year was twenty-seven ; at its close thirty-three. A district high school having been sanctioned for Motueka, a new room in which to carry on the work of secondary education is being erected and is expected to be ready for occupation by the end of January. A proposal is being made for the establishment of a district high school at Reefton ; but this is a matter that will require very careful consideration before any definite action is taken. Elementary Schools. —There were 124 of these schools open at the end of the year 1900, six of which have been closed. Three new schools have been opened, so that the number of schools at work at the end of the past year was 121. School Districts. —One new school district has been constituted during the year (Birchfield), bringing the total number up to sixty-eight. Attendance of Scholars. —The average weekly number on the roll of the schools of the district during the previous year was 5,844-75 ; during the past year it was 5,715-75 —a decrease of 129. The average attendance during the previous year was 4,844-75, and during the past year 4,73350 —a decrease of 111-25. This continuing decrease in the number of children in the public schools of this education district is very extraordinary, and appears to be unaccountable. School Buildings.—During the year new schools have been erected at Denniston and Upper Tadmor, a new room has been added to the Central School in Nelson and to the junior division of the Westport District High School, and a teacher's house has been built at Millerton. These comprise the more important of the buildings erected during the year; while the sum of £825 has been expended in minor works—repairs, painting, and general upkeep of school buildings. Board's Funds. —The Board's General Account showed a debit balance at the beginning of the year of £471 15s. 9d., with liabilities £144 os. 10d.; at the end of the year the debit balance was £1,361 4s. Id., and the liabilities £401 13s. The Building Account at the beginning of the year had a credit balance of £1,790 Bs. lid., with liabilities amounting to £2,181 13s. ; at the end of the year the credit balance was £823 2s. 4d., with £2,000 due from the Government, and liabilities £810 16s. I cannot conclude this report without pointing out the fact that this large debit balance on the General Account is not the result of any extravagance on the pare of the Board, but is the outcome of the refusal of the Audit Department to permit the Board to adjust its two accounts by the repayment to the General Account of certain sums of money which had aforetime been lent to the Building Fund. I have, <fee, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Geo. Talbot, Chairman. 11— E. 1.

GEEY. Sir, — Education Board Office, Greymouth, 27th March, 1902. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Grey Education Board for the year 1901. The members who retired on the 31st March last were Messrs. Flynn, Harris, and Marshall. At the election to fill the vacancies thereby constituted the three retiring members were re-elected. On the 25th August last, after a brief illness, the Hon. James Kerr, one of the oldest members of the Board, passed away—a loss that was keenly felt not only by his colleagues, but by all with whom he was brought in contact, for his sterling worth and many good qualities. As a member of the Legislative Council Mr. Kerr was of great service to the Board. He took a very deep interest in educational matters, and spared neither time nor trouble in doing all that was possible not only for the Board which he represented, but for the furtherance of education generally. Mr. Kerr was for several years Chairman and also Treasurer to the Board. At the election held in October to fill the vacancy caused by the Hon. Mr. Kerr's death Mr. James Kerr, jun., was elected. The Board at the close of the year therefore consisted of Messrs. John Byrne, John Flynn, S. R. Harris, James Kerr, W. K. Kettle, James Marshall, Jeremiah McCarthy, Joseph Petrie, and Frank White. There were twenty-nine schools in operation at the close of the year, being a decrease of one on the previous year, The teachers in the employ of the Board comprised fourteen males and fortyfour females, or a total of fifty-eight. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in December. Four pupils were examined, all of whom qualified themselves for a higher grade. The annual examination for scholarships was also held in December. For the four scholarships —two town and two country —there were eighteen competitors. At the close of the year the Building Fund showed a debit balance of £96 15s. Bd. The expenditure during the year was £1,149 18s. 3d. This large outlay is to be attributed to the rebuilding of the Cobden School, at a cost of £600—an undertaking that would not have been sanctioned if the Board had known at the time that no special grant in aid of the work would be made. The Board's General Account at the close of the year showed a debit balance of £220 65., but against this £184 was due from Government. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. S. R. Haekis, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sic, — Education Office, Hokitika, 21st January, 1902. I have the honour to submit the report of the Wesfcland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1901. The Board.—ln August Messrs. Chesney, Hudson, and Smith retired, and Messrs. J. S. Benyon, T. W. Beare, and G. Perry were elected to fill the vacancies. In the same month, owing to the death of Mr. J. McWhirter, who for eight years had with distinction occupied the position of Chairman, the election of another member became necessary, and Mr. H. A. Baucke was appointed by the School Committees to fill the vacancy. During the year twelve ordinary and two special meetings were held. Schools.—During the year thirty-five schools have been in operation, the decrease being due to the closing of the Bruce Bay aided school. In addition to the ordinary primary work of the schools, the secondary class of the Hokitika School, with an average quarterly roll-number of twenty-six pupils, and the class for manual instruction connected with the Kumara School, have been maintained. Attendance.—The total roll-number for the district at the end of the year was 1,184, a decrease of ninety-four compared with that of the previous year. The average attendance was 85-9 of the average roll-number. Teachers. —The total number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 55, including 8 head teachers, 27 sole teachers, 11 assistants, 9 pupil-teachers. With the exception of one assistant, all teachers in schools with an average attendance exceeding seventeen possess certificates. The number of teachers granted by the new colonial scale of staffs is greater by one assistant and less by one pupil-teacher than that required by the Board's regulations. Scholarships.—During the year seven scholarships have been in force, six of the holders attending the Hokitika District High School. In addition, five scholars who qualified by obtaining 60 per cent, of marks at the preceding examination have received free tuition at the former school. At the examination at the end of the year there were twenty-eight candidates, of whom sixteen qualified. The four heading the list have been awarded scholarships tenable for two years—one of £23, and three of £8 per annum. Manual Instruction.—Although instruction in hand-work has not during the year formed a prominent feature of the syllabus, preliminary arrangements have been made for its general introduction. All the teachers and pupil-teachers, with the exception of those of South Westland, attended, at the invitation of the Board, a series of lectures by one of the Inspectors appointed by the Education Department under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act. The necessary material and books will be provided as soon as they are obtainable. Finance. —In connection with the Building Fund the total expenditure has been £1,010 6s. 10d., including a credit balance at the beginning of the year of £246 15s. 4d., a grant of £750, and a debit balance at the end of the year of £13 11s. 6d. The General Account shows a debit balance of £78 Is. 9d., but as in the total the balance of a special grant for the training of teachers has been included, the ordinary revenue has been exceeded by the expenditure by £120 14s. 2d. The cause of the Board's financial difficulties has been removed by the adoption of a colonial scheme of staffs and salaries. The former method of distribution by capitation was an injustice to the teachers and a source of continual anxiety to the Board, and the gratitude of both is due to those who provided relief. The amount allotted to the Board for the expenses of administration will provide a small balance for contingencies, but if the debtor balance referred to (£l2O 14s. 2d.) must be met out of ordinary revenue there will still be for several years a considerable difficulty, though not perhaps of so serious a character. Seeing that under the former system teachers suffered reduction in salary, and the most rigid economy was necessary owing to unfavourable conditions and to an inequitable method of the distribution of the grant for educational purposes, the Board desires to express the hope that it will not be penalised for what was unavoidable, but that the Government will provide specially for the payment of the deficiency at the end of the year 1901. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Joseph Geimmond, Chairman.

REPORT ON HOKITIKA DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL. (Number of scholars on roll:—Passed Standard VI.: M., 13; F. 9: total, 22.)

Eepoet on the Examination of the Secondary Class. At the date of examination the class consisted of 22 pupils, including 14 in the first year, 5 in the second year, and 3 in the third year. Of those in the first year, four joined during the last three quarters, and have not attempted the full year's course. Six pupils of the class were holders of scholarships under the Board. The progress of the pupils of the second and third years has been very commendable. With • hardly any exceptions the papers presented in the various subjects by each pupil were at least satisfactory. The results in the various subjects were—in English, algebra, and French, very good ; in Latin, Euclid, and chemistry, good ; in arithmetic and geography, satisfactory. The result in each subject prepared by the pupils in the first year is satisfactory, and in English and algebra the average standard is good. A. J. Mokton, 8.A., Inspector.

NOETH CANTEEBURY. Sm,— Christchurch, 19th March, 1902. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of North Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1901: — The Boaed. —The three members —viz., Mr. Dalziel, Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Scott—who under the provisions of "The Education Act, 1877," would have retired on the 31st March, 1901, continued in office until the 12th August, in accordance with the provisions of "The Education Boards Election Act, 1900." At an election held on the 22nd July under the last-mentioned Act Mr. Hardy, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Dalziel were re-elected members of the Board. The Board held nineteen meetings during the year, of which two were special meetings. The Buildings Committee met eighteen times, the Appointments Committee thirty-three times, and the Normal School Committee twelve times. Buildings.—During the past year, owing to the very large number of schools requiring repairs and renovations, the Board's expenditure has largely exceeded the grant made by the Government for school buildings. Of the works in progress at the beginning of the year, a substantial addition to the Addington School, a new school at Hanmer Plains, and teachers' houses at Lowcliffe, Euapuna, Eyreton, and Okain's Bay have been completed. A new school has also been erected at Homebush, and additions made to the teachers' houses at Flaxton (Main) and Overdale. Extensive renovations and improvements, involving heavy expenditure, have been carried out at the following schools —Ashburton, Christchurch West, Christchurch East, Kaiapoi, Sydenham, and the Normal School; while in each of a number of other districts the outlay on buildings has not been far short of £100. In November, 1901, owing to the position in which the Board was placed with regard to its Building Account, application was successfully made to the Department for an advance of £2,000. Although this advance enabled the Board to meet its most pressing requirements, the relief can only be regarded as temporary, inasmuch as with a large part of the Board's share of the vote for school buildings — with which it is expected to carry on till next year— already absorbed, there still remain numerous unsatisfied applications for improvements and

repairs. In these circumstances, therefore, the Board respectfully desires to urge upon the Minister the necessity of paying every regard to the requirements of the North Canterbury District, where the demands for repairs and replacements, owing to the natural and inevitable process of decay, are increasing at a rate almost beyond the Board's means to cope with. The total expenditure on buildings during the year was £8,545 ss. 2d. On the morning of the 16th November, 1901, the northern districts were visited by an earthquake of unusual severity, causing much damage to the Board's schools, those in the Cheviot district having all the chimneys hopelessly wrecked and considerable injury done to the roofs. In order to in some degree restore confidence, and with the view of minimising as far as possible the interruption to school-work, the Board arranged for the immediate repair of the damage done. The Kaiapoi School, which is cf brick, suffered considerable damage from the earthquake, the whole of the building being shaken from top to bottom, in addition to the havoc caused by the falling chimneys. The total cost of making good the damage done by the earthquake amounts to £952 4s. lid., which sum it is confidently expected the Government will grant in addition to the Board's ordinary share of the vote for school buildings. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including twenty aided scools, was 205. Maintenance.—The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances amounted to £55,320 19s. 5d., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidental expenses, to £6,579 55., making a total of £61,900 4s. sd. The working-average for the year was 16,559, but the average of the four quarters commencing with the December quarcer of 1900, on which payments were based, was slightly less— viz., 16,553. The cost per head of teachers' salaries was therefore £3 6s. 10d., and the cost of maintaining the schools, including incidental expenses, £3 14s. 9d. per head. Teachers.—The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1901 (besides 44 sewing-mistresses and 6 temporary part-time teachers) was 493. Of these, 205 (139 males and 66 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge ; 182 (37 males and 145 females) were assistants; and 106 (18 males and 88 females) were pupil-teachers. Attendance.—The net roll-number for the last quarter of the year was 19,638, and the average attendance 16,773, a percentage of 8541. Normal School.—The number of students admitted to the Normal School during 1901 was 39 (including 17 of the second year) —viz., 11 males and 28 females. The Principal's report, which is appended, gives information as to the year's working of the training department. Following upon its previous representations that there should be no diminution in the grant for the training of teachers, the Board in October of last year submitted to the Minister that the proposed capitation to Education Boards, under the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, would not be sufficient to enable the Board to meet the expenditure on its Training School, which should therefore be borne by the Department. The whole matter was subsequently brought into prominent notice by means of a strong deputation of Canterbury and Otago members of the House of Eepresentatives, who, with Mr. Buddo and Mr. Hardy, waited on the Minister and urged that the existing training-schools should not suffer by the changes proposed under the Teachers' Salaries Act. The Board notes with pleasure Mr. Walker's assurance that there will be no difficulty in carrying on the training department, on the same lines as hitherto, without entrenching on the Board's general funds. Inspection.—ln their report the Inspectors make reference to the system of freedom of classification introduced some two years since—a system which as a whole appears to have worked well, and which is highly appreciated by the teachers, who have accepted the privileges and responsibilities bestowed upon them with a due regard to the standard of attainment required in the several subjects prescribed by the syllabus. The question of manual training as a means of education is exhaustively dealt with in their report, which dwells at length on the wide field open to teachers in the application of certain forms of manual training in connection with the ordinary subjects of primary education. Scholarships.—The annual examination for scholarships was held on the 16th December, 1901, and following days. One hundred and three candidates (55 boys and 48 girls) presented themselves for the junior scholarships, the number competing for those in the senior class being 25 (16 boys and 9 girls). Of the 103 candidates, 57 entered from schools defined as " country " schools and 46 from schools of the larger type. The 46 town candidates gained four of the twelve scholarships awarded, and the 57 country competitors the remaining eight. Of the latter, seven would not have been eligible to compete if the age qualification had not been in their favour; in which connection the Board now has under consideration a proposal to modify the regulations so as to lessen the handicap those interested in town schools allege their candidates are subjected to in regard to the additional year's age allowed with respect to children who enter from country schools. The Board's wish, it is almost needless to say, is to have both classes of competitors on an equitable footing, in order that a fair distribution of scholarships may be effected between the town and country schools, to which end the present regulations were framed some ten years ago. Gammack Scholarships.— In accordance with intention expressed in its annual report of 1900, the Board has altered its Gammack Scholarship regulations, mainly in order that the awards shall not clash with those made to the winners of the New Zealand University junior scholarships. Under the old regulations it frequently happened that the successful candidates for Gammaak scholarships also qualified for the University scholarships. This not only led to a good deal of uncertainty as to the awards, some candidates electing to hold Gammack scholarships and others those offered by the University, but was also responsible for a practice which has been referred to as " trafficking" in scholarships, But although it appeared desirable to make some alteration under which this practice would not be possible, the Board is of opinion that in cases where candidates have elected to forego Gammack scholarships the choice of a University scholarship has been made from

E.—l

a friendly desire not to stand in the way of a fellow-student lower down on the Board's list, and not with the object of pecuniary gain. As now amended, the Gammack scholarships are of the value of £25 and £45 (£5 lower than the value of the University scholarships) acccording to whether the holders live with their parents or are obliged to board away from home, open to those candidates only who obtain credit in the examination, and who do not qualify for a junior University scholarship. The Board will now be able to offer two scholarships every year, thus distributing the benefits of the Gammack bequest among a larger number of the Canterbury candidates on the credit list, but who are not successful in obtaining a junior University scholarship. Truancy and Irregular Attendance. —During the year, in the districts served by the Board's Truant Officer, 1,243 children were reported for irregular attendance, and with respect to 155 children it became necessary to institute Court proceedings. Of the latter, in 120 cases fines were inflicted, 22 were dismissed, and 2 withdrawn, while in the remaining 11 cases the parents or persons having the custody of the children could not be found. The total amount of fines during the year amounted to £18 4s. Under " The School Attendance Act, 1901," several desirable improvements have been introduced, among the more important being the raising of the age of exemption from attendance at school to fourteen years, an increase in the number of compulsory attendances per week, and the power of the Court to inflict substantial fines, all of which amendments the Board has for several years consistently advocated. Military Drill. —The teachers' Saturday drill classes were continued at Christchureh for two terms during the year, instruction in both physical and squad drill being given. At examinations held towards the end of the second term thirty-one teachers succeeded in passing the tests prescribed by the instructor, the majority securing a good pass. As recommended by Staff Sergeant-Major Coleman, to whom the Board is greatly indebted for his valuable services, certificates of competency will be granted to those teachers who have passed the examination, while the town teachers who desire a similar mark of proficiency will be examined at their respective schools at such times as can be conveniently arranged. Colonial Scale op Staffs and Salaries.—The Board's report for the year would be incomplete without reference to the important changes now taking place under " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," the direct outcome of the recommendations contained in the report of the Boyal Commission on the staffs of schools and salaries of public-school teachers. With the main object of the Act —the establishing of a uniform and equitable scale of staff and salaries —the Board is in complete sympathy, as it has always been ready to welcome any scheme which would place the salaries of its teachers on a satisfactory footing. That in some respects the scale should be open to criticism is not surprising when it is remembered how widely divergent were the conditions as to staff and salaries existing among the thirteen Education Boards to whom the primary education of the children of the colony is intrusted. For the present, until the Act shall have been tested in the light of experience, it will be sufficient to point out the directions in which modifications appear desirable, as follows : — (1.) Provision for the teaching of sewing in those sole-charge schools to which, either owing to the number of children in attendance or to other circumstances, it is desirable to appoint a male teacher. (2.) Adequate provision for the staffing of those schools which are termed " side " schools, but which to all intents and purposes are worked as separate schools. (8.) Adequate recognition of the services of infants' mistresses in charge of large departments at the city schools. (4.) A readjustment of the salaries payable to the first assistant masters, and to the first assistant mistresses. The Board views with grave apprehension the probable effect the new Act will have on its finances and on the Board's ability to efficiently maintain the schools in this district. After making the necessary provision for all ordinary expenditure, based on the actual figures for the year covered by this report, the Board is left with an exceedingly narrow margin available for contingencies, and this margin will at once disappear unless the Department should defray all cost in connection with the employment of relieving-teachers. Already the Board has reduced the allowances payable to School Committees for incidental expenses, and in other directions economy has been practised; notwithstanding which the Board's liabilities largely exceed its assets. In this connection it may also be pointed out that, owing to the returns required by the Department under the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, there is reason to believe that the office staff will require strengthening in the near future, and more especially will this be the case if the Department continues so exacting as regards the formalities to be observed in the working of the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, which in itself has largely added to the Board's administrative responsibilities. In all these circumstances the Board submits that some addition to the capitation allowance of 11s. 3d. is absolutely necessary if the efficiency which has hitherto characterized the maintenance of its schools is to be continued. Manual and Technical Instruction.—The progress made in manual and technical instruction during the year has not been, the Board regrets to report, altogether satisfactory ; nor are the causes leading up to the present position difficult to determine. So far as concerns the establishing of a central technical school, the Board has been without the means of securing a suitable site, the need of which has been repeatedly represented to the Minister. With regard to school classes, after carefully considering the whole question the Board arrived at the conclusion that while it was not desirable to introduce any of the subjects into the higher standards until the syllabus had been revised, yet that no modification of the syllabus was necessary up to and including Standard 11. The Board has accordingly confined its attention to the

E.—l

introduction of manual subjects into the lower classes. Owing in some measure to a want of the necessary knowledge on the part of the teachers, but more particularly, the Board ventures to think, to the formalities to be observed in order to obtain the Minister's approval, little headway has been made. In a number of cases where the programmes submitted have been accepted the Board has made, out of its very limited means, an advance in order to provide funds for the purchase of material. No assistance has as yet been forthcoming from the Department for apparatus. The Board is convinced that solid progress cannot be expected without some modification of the existing regulations, which in some respects have proved extremely harassing during the past year. With a large number of schools to deal with, it is absolutely essential that the means of securing official recognition of the classes should be as simple as possible, and that the applications of the Board for payment of capitation earned should meet with a ready response. The classes in woodwork have been continued at the Normal School and at Leeston, at which latter centre steps have been taken to establish a class in ironwork. The cookery classes at Doyleston have also continued in operation. During the last term of the year woodwork classes under Mr. Sandford, and technical classes under Mr. Just, were held at Lyttelton. The report of the instructor shows the number of pupils who have attended the woodwork classes during the year, together with the attendances for each quarter. During the year, in order that teachers might prepare themselves for giving instruction to their pupils, the Board has paid the fees of a large number of teachers in attendance at approved classes in manual and technical instruction. At the date of this report about three hundred teachers are attending the several classes at the Normal School, School of Art, and School of Domestic Instruction, in which connection it is pointed out that the Board's ability to continue free instruction must necessarily be limited by the amount granted by the Department for the purpose. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. D. Buddo, Chairman.

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. Normal School, Christchurch, 19th March, 1902. The students' department began the year with twenty-one new students, of whom seventeen were females and four males. Fourteen students were retained for a second year, of whom eight were females and six males. After a few weeks one female student withdrew, intending to complete her year in 1902, and one male student withdrew and left the profession. Two other second-year students were then admitted in place of these. Later on in the year a student from South Canterbury was admitted, and another of the previous year's students was taken on also. Another of the male students was allowed to withdraw to take up a temporary appointment as assistant master under very special circumstances, and another female student gave up the profession. There were thus thirty-nine students in attendance at some time or other during the year. One of the new students had already obtained the full D certificate, and four others had obtained partial D by matriculation. At the end of the year fifteen sat for Matriculation, of whom eleven passed; and twenty-six sat for the departmental examination in classes D and E, of whom twenty-five passed wholly or in part. The female second-year students took up work in music, cookery, and subjects at the School of Art, with a view to making themselves more proficient in manual training. During the early part of the year the male second-year students took up work in preparation for entering on a course at Canterbury College, and all attended lectures in some subjects at that institution, and one of them passed the Canterbury College examination for first year and also the examination for the C certificate. The male students of both years attended the Saturday classes in military drill, and the amount of time given by the female students to receiving instruction from Mrs. Bullock in manual training was largely increased.

REPORT ON AKAROA DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL.

SOUTH CANTEEBUEY. Sib,— Timaru, 24th March, 1902. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1901. The Boakd. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members : TheEev. George Barclay, J. P., Lieut.-Colbnel W. M. Moore, J. P., Messrs. John Talbot, J. P., John Jackson, J. P., P. Keddie, J. P., D. N. Inwood, J. P., T. C. Farnie, M.A., G. J. Hamilton, and W. B. Howell, J. P. (Chairman). Messrs. Barclay, Jackson, and Hamilton retired in August in accordance with section 15 of " The Education Act, 1877 " ; and the members of the School Committees re-elected Messrs. Barclay and Jackson, and returned Mr. S. Gillingham in place of Mr. Hamilton, who was absent on a visit to England. During the year there were three extraordinary vacancies, caused by the resignations of Lieut.-Colonel Moore and Messrs. Inwood and Keddie, and Messrs. W. S. Maslin, J. P., D. McCaskill, and John Campbell were elected in their stead. The Board held twelve ordinary and five special meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being six. The Schools.—At the beginning of the year there were sixty-eight schools in operation in the district. During the year new schools were opened at Lyalldale and Waihao Downs, and arrangements were made for opening new schools at Waihaorunga and Waikakahi early in January, 1902, so that now there are seventy-two schools in operation in the district. District High Schools. —Thanks to the grants from the Government under their new regulations, the Board was enabled to throw open the secondary departments of the district high

schools free to all children that have passed Standard VI.; and Geraldine was raised to the status of a district high school, in which secondary work was begun in January, 1902. The abolition of fees at these institutions has led to a great influx of new scholars eager to extend their education beyond the limits of the ordinary standards; but those parents of Timaru and neighbourhood that have to pay for the higher education of their children, and those that are debarred by the cost from obtaining such a privilege, are complaining, and with good reason, that they are placed at a great disadvantage when compared with parents at Geraldine, Temuka, and Waimate, where secondary education is now free. The Board therefore hopes that the day is not far distant when secondary education will become free, at least to all children that show aptitude and ability to benefit by it. Scholarships.—The usual scholarship examination was held in December, the Board's Inspectors being the examiners. Though the number of candidates was slightly less than last year, the number of schools competing was nearly doubled. Four senior and eight junior scholarships were awarded, and three candidates gained exhibitions entitling them to free education for two years at the Timaru High School. Pupil-teachers.—At the end of the year the Board employed twenty-four pupil-teachers, classified as follows: First year—No males, 7 females; second year—2 males, no females; third year —6 males, 4 females ; fourth year—l male, 4 females : total, 9 males, 15 females. At the annual examination held in July eighteen pupil-teachers and fifteen candidates for pupil-teacher-ships were examined. All the pupil-teachers and ten candidates passed. Attendance. —The roll-number for the last quarter of the year was 5,074, and the average attendance 4,462. The average attendance shows a decline of twenty-six, as compared with the preceding year. It should be pointed out, however, that the average would have been much greater had the attendance *at many of our schools not suffered during the September quarter through prevailing sickness and bad weather. Buildings.—The total expenditure on school buildings during the year was £2,490 18s. £1,800 was received from the Government as building grant, and £615 for buildings in newly settled districts. The sum of £40 was received as contributions from residents towards new schools at Waihaorunga and Lyalldale ; and, besides this, several School Committees have come to the Board's assistance by providing and carting material, erecting fences, &c. Among the more important works undertaken during the year were new schools at Lyalldale, Waihaorunga and Waikakahi, residences at Glenavy and Waihaorunga, additions to the schools at Morven and Eedcliff, and the shifting and enlarging of the Waitaki School. Besides these works, there have been the usual numerous repairs, paintings, and alterations always involved where there are so many buildings, nearly all wooden, to be kept in order. Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act.—During the year the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act was passed, bringing into force the long-discussed colonial scale of salaries. While this Act has, with few exceptions, benefited the teachers of this district, the Board finds that the capitation allowance of 11s. 3d. is insufficient to provide adequately for the School Committees' incidentals and the other necessary expenditure of the Board, and it is therefore hoped that the amount of capitation will soon be much increased. While this Act is being mentioned, it should be pointed out that it needs amendment in one or two particulars. In the first place, the Board is strongly of opinion that provision should be made for the teaching of sewing in every school. There are anomalies in the scale which should be removed as soon as possible. It so happens that two of the South Canterbury schools have averages just below 200. Should the averages rise above 200, each school will be provided with another assistant, and the salary of the present assistant will be nearly doubled. By order. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. H. Bamfibld, Secretary.

REPORT ON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS. Sib, — „ Education Office, Timaru, 12th February, 1902. We have the honour to submit the following report on the higher work of the district high schools: — Thirty scholars took part in the examination at Waimate, the subjects being English, Latin, French, Euclid, algebra, arithmetic, botany, and heat. Twenty-four scholars were in the botany class, and were examined orally. Papers were set in the other subjects. In written work eight scholars were examined in seven subjects, thirteen in six subjects, seven in five subjects, and two in four subjects. Twenty-three scholars were examined at Temuka, the subjects in which papers were set being English, Latin, French, Euclid, algebra, and arithmetic. Eight scholars were examined in six subjects, seven in five subjects, seven in four subjects, and one in three subjects. Throughout the year instruction was given in chemistry to all, and in book-keeping to a few of the scholars.

Waimate.

English. —Of thirty scholars examined in English, twenty-four obtained marks ranging from 60 to 90 per cent., a result that speaks well for the thoroughness of the preparation. The members of the class were subjected to an oral examination to test their knowledge of the language and incidents of " The Tempest," and in this, as in the written work, they answered with intelligence and accuracy. Latin. —Only four scholars out of twenty-six examined in Latin earned less than 50 per cent, of the available marks, and seventeen earned over 70 per cent. These results are eminently satisfactory. French. —Nine pupils out of twenty examined in French gained marks ranging from 80 to 91 per cent., and only two pupils gained less than 60 per cent. This is an admirable result. Euclid. —The general result in this subject was highly creditable to teacher and pupils. While several papers were excellent, there was not one that could not be considered quite satisfactory.

vacancies, which, by the operation of " The Education Boards Election Act, 1900," did not occur till the month of August. The result was the re-election of Mr. Sim and the election of Messrs. Alexander Marshall and Eobert Peattie. Messrs. Harraway and Kyle did not offer themselves for re-election. At the first meeting of the Board in September the Rev. P. B. Fraser was elected Chairman. The Eev. William Hewitson, 8.A., and Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.E., 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 School Board. Mr. Donald Borrie continues to represent the Board as one of the Education Eeserves Commissioners. The Board held twenty-seven meetings during the year. Numbee of Schools.—At the close of 1900 there were 222 schools in operation in the district. New schools were opened at Ahuriri Flat and Maungawera. The Bendigo, Wanaka Eoad, Glenledi, Nenthorn, Catlins, and Kaihiku Schools were closed at the end of the year 1901. The number of schools in operation when the year closed was 218. Teachbbs.—On the 31st December there were 484 teachers in the Board's service (190 males and 294 females). There were 76 pupil-teachers (15 males and 61 females). The examination of candidates for employment as pupil-teachers was held in December, when 83 candidates (14 boys and 69 girls) presented themselves. Out of this number, 54 (8 boys and 46 girls) passed the examination, and 5 boys and 30 girls received appointments. School Attendance.—The number of pupils who attended at all in the course of the year was 25,323; the average daily attendance for the year, 17,544; and the attendance at the close of the year, 19,933. In the number of pupils who attended at all during the year there was, as compared with the previous year, a decrease in the Dunedin schools of 61, and in all the other schools of 467, or 528 over the whole district. The figures relative to average attendance show the following decreases for the year: Dunedin schools, 65; all other schools, 181: total for the district, 246. The average for the Dunedin schools is the lowest since 1879, while that for the whole district is the lowest since 1883. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of average weekly roll for the four quarters was 86'7 —that is to say, that of the 20,235 children on the school rolls 2,691 (or over 13 per cent.) were absent every school-day throughout the year. In 1900 the average percentage was 869, so that 0-2 per cent, represents the decrease in regularity of attendance for the year just closed. Truancy.—The following gives the work of the Truant Officer for the year : Cases investigated, 295 ; notices served on parents or guardians under section 5 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894," 251; penalty summons issued under section 7 of " The School Attendance Act, 1894 " (dealing with parents or guardians whose children have not attended school the number of times required by the Act), 20. Under the above twenty penalty summonses there were twelve convictions, five cases were withdrawn on account of the production by the defendants of exemption certificates, and three cases were dismissed. The total amount of fines for the year was £1 6s. In accordance with section 7 of the Act, the fine inflicted in each case of conviction was 2s. Scholakships.—Twenty-three scholarships (10 junior and 13 senior) were awarded at the examinations in December. There were in all 138 competitors, 109 for the junior and 29 for the senior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, thirteen of the senior competitors gained sufficient marks to entitle them to free education at the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools for three years. Free education is conferred at these schools 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. Fifteen of the junior competitors gained at least 60 per cent, of the marks, and to the ten highest of these was awarded free education by the High Schools Board. Twenty-three junior competitors were disqualified on account of failing to obtain at least 20 per cent, of the marks allotted to each subject. There are at present 34 pupils (18 boys and 16 girls) receiving free education at the high schools in Dunedin in connection with the scholarship scheme. Technical Insteuction.—With the view to the introduction of hand-work into the schools, the Board, as soon as it was furnished with the means, organized classes for the training of the teachers in kindergarten work, and in plasticine and cardboard modelling. Afternoon classes, evening classes, Saturday classes, and summer classes were held in Dunedin, and Saturday classes in Oamaru, all of them being in every way most successful. Teachers are now awaiting the necessary modification of the syllabus to enable them to introduce these subjects as an integral part of the school-work. The question of cookery for the girls of Standards VI. and VII. also occupied the Board's attention, and arrangements are now completed for a regular course of instructions in this subject. Disteict High Schools.—During the year the Port Chalmers School was re-established as a district high school, and the Hampden, Mosgiel, and Tapanui Schools were created district high schools, and steps were taken to establish one at Naseby. The number of such schools in this district is eight. The Board would point out that the Department's grant is insufficient to provide an adequate staff for this class of school. A district high school with a secondary department of twelve pupils in average attendance receives a grant of only £102 per annum, a sum that is very inadequate payment for a teacher of high scholastic attainments. The following is a statement of the aim and work of these schools : —l. To deepen and extend the work begun in the primary schools, and to teach such other branches of knowledge as have a direct bearing on the probable life-work of the pupils whose school-life is limited to the age of fifteen or sixteen. 2. To prepare pupils for the following : (a) The Board's senior scholarship examination ; (b) the Civil Service Examination ; (c) the Matriculation Examination. In the first case the aim should be to provide for children a good general education bearing directly upon the

E.—l

practical work of life, and of a kind that can be completed within three years after their passing out of the primary classes. This general education should include English, arithmetic (including mensuration of surfaces and solids), book-keeping, drawing, Euclid, algebra, geography (physical, commercial, and historical), some form of hand-work for boys and cookery and laundry-work for girls, and a branch (or branches) of science having special bearing on the characteristic industries of the district in which the pupils live. In the second case the aim should be to prepare boys and girls for positions in the public service, or for entrance to the University with a view to preparation for professional careers. The following syllabus was drawn up with a view to the realisation of this dual aim :— Subjects to be taken by all pupils : English, arithmetic, Euclid, algebra, drawing, some form of handwork (including cookery and laundry-work), science bearing on the industries of the school district, and at least one of the following : Latin, French, book-keeping, shorthand, mechanical drawing, agricultural chemistry, geography, history of the growth of the British Empire, or any other subject approved by the Department. It is proposed that the pupils who do not take Latin or French shall take book-keeping. English : First year—not less than 400 lines of poetry and 100 pages prose ; second year —one of Shakespeare's plays, and 100 pages of prose; third year—one of Shakespeare's plays or its equivalent, and 100 pages of prose. Arithmetic: As defined in the Department's regulations, the work of each year to show an advance on that of the previous year. Algebra : First year —to the end of simple equations ; second year —to the end of simultaneous equations ; third year—to the end of quadratics. Euclid : First year—Book I. to proposition 26, with easy exercises; second year—Book 1., with easy exercises; third year—Books I. and 11., with easy exercises. Latin : First year —Via Latina, to page 62; second year —Via Latina, to page 156, and Principia Latina, Part 11., Fables and Anecdotes; third year —the whole of Via Latina, and Principia Latina, Part 11., Mythology, and two books of the History. Drawing: Advanced work of the kind prescribed, for Standards V. and VI. Book-keeping : Thornton's Primer (two years' course). French: First year—a half of Chardenal's Part I.; second year— Chardenal's Parti.; third year —Chardenal's Part 11. Science :Tobe in advance of the standard work, and to be of a thoroughly practical nature. The pupils are themselves to do the experimentation, carefully describe what they do, note what follows from what they do, and draw their own inferences. The science work is to have special bearing on the needs of the district in which the school is situated. Geography: For those who wish to prepare for special examinations there are the programmes of work prescribed for such examinations; but, if the subject is taken up as a general one, special attention shall be devoted to the physical, commercial, and historical sides of the subject. Certificates shall be awarded to those pupils who pass a satisfactory examination at the end of the year, and those who pass an unsatisfactory examination at the end of the year, and have failed to satisfy their teachers during the year, shall be made to pass another year in the same class. Tbaining College.—The report of the Principal of the Training College is appended. For 1901 there is an increase of 7"3 per cent, in the attendance and a decline of 50 per cent, in the number of second-year students. The Board would like to see a larger proportion of the students remain for the second gear's course, for the extended training in the professional side of their work would be of great value to the students as well as to the schools which they will ultimately have to teach. A small number of pupil-teachers proceed to the teachers' examination for a certificate without entering the Training College, and finally enter on the work of teaching with no further training than that given them during their apprenticeship —a training that is greatly inadequate to the demands of the profession upon which they enter. For 1901, 75 per cent, of the first year's students had. passed through the pupil-teachers' course, and of these a large proportion had attended classes at the University. These continued their University work during their year of training, two of them taking their degree, and four of them completing their work for half their degree ; and twenty-eight students presented themselves at the annual examination, of whom two obtained the C certificate, seven a D certificate, fifteen a partial D certificate, and three a partial E certificate. The cost of the institution for the year was : Salaries, £445; allowances to students, £452 3s. 6d. ; incidentals, £18 ss. Bd. : total, £915 9s. 2d. : less Government grant for training of teachers, £500 : net cost, £415 9s. 2d. School of Act and Design.—The total number of students enrolled was 443. This number includes 112 students who attended the day classes, 47 pupil-teachers, 26 students from the Training College, 214 students who attended the evening classes, and 44 teachers and pupil-teachers who attended the Saturday classes. The attendance at these classes shows an increase of 38 on that of the previous year. The cost of the school was : Salaries, £656 18s. 4d. ; incidental expenses, £75 2s. 3d. : total, £732 os. 7d. : less fees (three quarters), £278 35.; and Government grant under Manual and Technical Instruction Act, £354 16s. 6d. : net cost, £99 Is. Id. Finance.—Under " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1900," the sum of £2,074 Bs. was apportioned by the Education Department to this district for supplementing teachers' salaries for the year 1901, but, owing to the prolonged negotiations between the Department and the Board regarding the basis upon which the grant should be distributed to the teachers, the money was not paid over to the Board until its accounts for the year had been closed, and was consequently in hand at 31st December. The Board cannot refrain from expressing its opinion that, so far as this district is concerned, the apportionment of the vote was inequitable, as some districts with a smaller number of pupils than there is in Otago have received a much larger share of the vote. Inspection.—Owing to the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York, the Dunedin and suburban and such other schools as took part in the demonstration of welcome to their Eoyal Highnesses were exempted from examination except in the pass work of Standard VI. The other classes were examined for standard passes by the headmasters ; but the results were not checked in the usual way by the Inspectors.

E.—l

As will be seen from their report, the Inspectors consider that the prescribed table of standard passes is a very inadequate expression of the condition of the schools, that the new regulations make the standard pass too easy, and that the too easy passing of the pupils in the standards below Standard VI. must necessarily reduce the efficiency of the work done in Standard VI. It is their opinion that a pupil who fails in two important subjects of any class should not be promoted to a higher class. A considerable number of the passes included in the table annexed to the Inspectors' report are passes with failure in two important subjects. In the pass and additional subjects the general marks are the same as those of last year ; but in the class subjects the mark has dropped from satisfactory to fair. The Inspectors think that the lower mark is due to two circumstances—(l) that the Dunedin and suburban and some other large schools are unrepresented in the table; (2) that the working-year of the schools represented in it was too short for the achievement of good educational results. The schools represented in the table worked on the average only 193 days, and those unrepresented in it only 196 days. In other words, the average number of working-days on which the schools were closed was 66-J-, or a little over thirteen weeks. The results show that more than half of the small schools in which a Standard VII. class is taught are doing work of quality that ranges from satisfactory to very good. In their report the Inspectors discuss the question of making better provision than is now made for instruction in work beyond the standard requirements. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. P. G. Pryde, Secretary.

TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Normal School, Dunedin, 17th March, 1902. The Staff of the Teainin& College.—Mr. William Gray, M.A., B.Sc. (vice-principal), resigned his position at the end of the year on receiving an appointment as rector of the High School, Palmerston North. Mr. Gray held the position of vice-principal for five years, and during that time carried out his duties with great efficiency. He was popular with the staff and the students. We all regret his departure from the Training College and from Otago. The Board at its meeting in January appointed Mr. Marshall, 8.A., vice-principal. He has been a member of the Normal School staff for some twelve or thirteen years. The Board recognised his long and valuable services to the school by placing him in the higher and more responsible position. The Attendance at the Teaining College Classes.—Second-year students—male, 1, female, 4: total, 5. First-year students—male, 7; female, 17 : total, 24. Number in attendance at the close of the session—male, 8 ; female, 21 : total, 29 Of the twenty-four first-year students, eighteen had passed through the pupil-teacher course, and six non-pupil-teachers were admitted by examination.

The Literary and Technical Course of Insteuction. — Besides the usual course of instruction given by the members of the staff, we had this session special lessons on kindergarten work and modelling in plasticine. Miss Landels gave a course of lessons on paper-folding and paper-cutting, in which the students were much interested. Mr. Walls, the instructor in modelling, spoke highly of the work done by the students in this subject. I gave the students the first of a series of practical lessons in paper-folding, which were afterwards given in the Normal School and in some of the associated schools. On the whole, they were satisfactory, and of real educational value and interest. Before we introduce kindergarten work or manual work into the public schools, large or small, we should, I t'nink, have a definite course of experimental lessons on the subject. The object of these lessons should be (1) to determine the most suitable subjects for public-school classes, and (2) to arrange a definite course of lessons, together with instructions with regard to the methods and principles to be adopted in teaching kindergarten and manual lessons. I hope to be able to keep this end in view in carrying on the work of the Training College. Illustrative and Model Lessons at the Training College.—The first practical lessons of the year dealt with the various educative methods of teaching the alphabet, word-building, and reading; and these were followed by constructive exercises in working and illustrating the principles of teaching this subject. Some forty leesons were given in this branch of our work. In arithmetic, written and oral, forty-four lessons were given in the Training College classes. Twenty-nine lessons were given in grammar, chiefly in the lower school. During the last few years the lessons in geography have been mainly those of Standards 11. and 111., with occasional lessons in Standard IV.; but this year we have given more attention to mathematical and physical geography. Some twenty-four lessons on the form of the earth, its motions, and the causes of the seasons proved of interest and benefit to the trainees. A few systematic lessons on map-drawing completed our geographical studies. I have always to take up the subject of time-tables early in the session, and I feel that far too much time is given to this subject, considering the unimportant place it holds in a good course of training. Students have to be taught to draw up time-tables of every kind, variety, and type. Students, as a rule, have had no experience in working under these time-tables, and in learning them they are simply reproducing other people's time-tables. To prepare, revise, and reproduce them in a given time is, to a large extent, an uninteresting and valueless exercise. It may be a good exercise in memorising to be able to reproduce a complicated time-table in half an hour, but the time required to bring students up to this point could be much more profitably spent in other ways. I should like to see this branch of our work omitted from the examination in school method, or at least omitted from the paper in the form in which it usually appears. The object-lesson course of instruction has been more complete this year than we have ever had it. Some time ago I wrote to thirty of the teachers in small schools asking them for the lists of object-lessons given during the year, showing their method of grouping the classes Preparatory to Standard 111., and the time given to the subject. With this information I was enabled to make a better arrangement for the object-lessons given by the students in the Model School. It is clear that we must have a four-years course unless we repeat the lessons from year to year with the same pupils. To group Preparatory and Standards 1., 11., and 111., giving them the same object-lessons, seems to me very unwise : some are too simple for the standard classes; others too difficult for the infants. So far as I see at present, it would be better to place the Preparatory classes and Standard I. in one division, and Standards 11. and 111. in another, giving the lessons on alternate weeks if the time-table will not allow of weekly lessons. The first thing to do, however, is to get a really good practical selection of subjects—that is, good in so far as they give a good field for mental training, and practical in so far as the illustrative material is well within the reach of the average teacher. I have gone to some pains to prepare a list that will, I think, satisfy these conditions. Most of them have been given at the Normal School or in the Training College classes. To keep the various school registers and to make up the various departmental forms and returns require constant practice for a month ; but this is work with which the students must be made perfectly familiar, and the time given to the subject is well spent. Twenty-three lessons were given to the pupils in paper-folding, and a few lessons in plasticine modelling. The training which our pupils receive in drawing and singing on its practical side with the standard classes is not so complete as it should be. I give a great deal of time to the principles of teaching and to methods of teaching, but the history of ancient and the evolution of modern educational systems is treated somewhat briefly owing to the stress of other subjects. The Model School.—The only subjects in which we have made any material alteration this year are object-lessons and science lessons. The science lessons in small schools must be a source of anxiety and dissatisfaction to every teacher who wishes to do good work. It is usual in country schools to take a course of lessons on agriculture or on agricultural chemistry. We have not tried this course in the Model School, but we have made an effort to devise a course of science lessons more general in its character, and something after the " nature study" lessons so common a feature of the science work in many English and American schools. Mr. Gray was interested in this work, and a few lessons under ibis supervision were given every Wednesday by the students in the Model School. I hope in the course of time to have a complete and suitable course of lessons in science for our Model School. The Associated Schools.— The students have not been sent to the associated schools so frequently as I should have liked, owing to the many incidental breaks in school-work last year. The students enjoy their visits to the associated schools, and recognise in this change of work an opportunity for widening their experience of schools and school-work. I have to thank the headmasters for the interest which they take in the students' lessons. Examination for Certificates. —Twenty-eight students presented themselves at the annual examination. Of these, two passed the C certificate, seven secured a full D and fifteen a partial

E.—l

102

D, three got partial E, and one failed to get any promotion. The two science prizes offeredjby the Education Department were awarded to students of this college—a result that testifies to the efficiency of the training given in our science laboratory and science lessons. Out of several hundred candidates from all parts of the colony only five were placed in the honour list in the subject of the art and method of teaching. Two of our students were placed in the honour list, and both of them, I may say, took a very high place in this subject at our College examinations. One was placed in the credit list, gaining special marks for history. Eight of our students attended classes at the Otago University. D. E. White, M.A., Principal.

SOUTHLAND Sib, — Education Office, Invercargill, 17th March, 1902. In compliance with the provisions of "The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Southland Board of Education for the year ended 31st December, 1901: — The Boakd.—At the beginning of the year the following gentlemen constituted the membership of the Board : Mr. John Cowie (Chairman), and Messrs. Alfred Baldey, George B. George, J. A. Hanan, William Macalister, Thomas Mac Gibbon, George McLeod, J. W. Eaymond, and John C. Thomson. Messrs. George E. George, J. A. Hanan, and Thomas Mac Gibbon were the retiring members, of whom the two first mentioned did not offer themselves for re-election. To fill the vacancies on the Board seven candidates were nominated, and Mr. Thomas Mac Gibbon, of Mataura, Dr. James Copland, of Gore, and Mr. W. B. Scandrett, of Invercargill, were elected. On the retirement of members who did not offer themselves for re-election the Board made special reference to the valuable services rendered to the cause of education in this district by Mr. G. E. George, and a resolution expressive of the Board's appreciation of his active and useful membership, as also of regret at his retirement, was unanimously adopted. There is diversity of opinion as to whether the conduct of Boards' elections under the new Act is or is not an improvement on the method previously in operation ; one thing is certain, that here is a very considerable increase both in labour and expense. It is, however, premature to udge of the merits of a new system after a first trial, and a definite expression of opinion may very properly be deferred in the meantime. In this district 128 out of a possible 147 Committees took part in the election. The number of individual members of Committees who recorded their votes was 686, and of these 676 exercised the full privilege of voting for three members. The total number of valid votes recorded was 2,044. An unusually high percentage of informal votes was received, no less than 53 voting-papers being rejected as invalid on account of their not being posted on or before the date of the election, while 23 voting-papers were either not signed at all or improperly signed. Every detail in connection with this, the first election under the new order of things, was carried out without a hitch. At the ordinary meeting of the Board held on the 6th September Mr. J. W. Eaymond was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. Messrs. J. A. Hanan, of Invercargill, and J. C. Thomson, of Eiverton, were appointed to represent the Board on the Board of Governors of the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Thomas Mac Gibbon continued his services during the year as representative of the Board's interests on the Trust of the Education Eeserves Commissioners of Otago and Southland. The Board held twelve ordinary and three special meetings, and its executive committee met twenty-five times during the course of the year. The attendance of members was very creditable, the average for meetings of the Board being 75, and for the executive committee 66. It is almost needless to say that a very large amount of business was dealt with, many of the sittings of the executive being continued till a late hour in the evening. The consideration of the changes brought about by the Teachers' Salaries Act, and the introduction of the work of technical education throughout the district, necessitated a very considerable amount of extra work during the year, both to members and officials of the Board. Schools and Attendance. —"Under this heading there is comparatively little to report. For many years this Board was barely able to cope with the demand for new schools in various parts of its widely extended district, but for this and the year immediately preceding this demand has in great measure ceased. At the close of the year 1900 there were 147 schools in operation ; now there are 149. Two full-time schools—the one at Waimahaka, and the other at Lake Manapouri—and one half-time school at Lower Hedgehope (worked in conjunction with that at Springhills) were opened during the year; while one at Te Oneroa, owing to a collapse of the mining industry and the consequent exodus of the population, was closed. Of the total number of schools in the district, 118 had an average attendance of less than 70 ; 24 had an average between 90 and 330 ; while only 2 had an average of over 550 pupils. There are only three schools in the district which might be classed as "household " schools, in which the average attendance does not exceed eight. The attendance during the period to which this report has reference shows a slight decrease as compared with the numbers for the previous year, as follows : Average weekly roll—l9oo, 9,562 ; 1901, 9,521: decrease, 41. Working - average—l9oo, 7,924; 1901, 7,910: decrease, 14. This decrease may be ascribed to a variety of causes, but it is not easy to point out definitely any one reason to which it is due. The fact that so few new schools have been opened plainly indicates that the progress of settlement in Southland has been temporarily arrested. There is one hopeful feature discovered in making the foregoing calculations—that is that the average attendance for the last quarter of 1901 is larger than for any of the six quarters immediately preceding, and, indeed, except for one quarter in 1899, constitutes the record for the district. The percentage of working-

103

B.—l

average attendance to average weekly roll-number now stands at 83, also a record for this district, though even this record falls short of that for the colony by about one per cent. It is creditable to Southland that, where in many of the more remote settlements the roads—where roads exist—are, especially during the winter months, but barely passable, such a high percentage of possible attendances should be attained. Boaeds' Teaching Staff.—There were at the close of the year 240 teachers in the Board's service, both sexes being about equally represented. These numbers show an increase of three as compared with the year preceding. The number of boys and girls employed as pupil-teachers— twelve and thirty-three respectively—shows an undue preponderance in favour of the latter, though the disparity is less by about fifty per cent, than it was several years ago. Now that a uniform system of payment has been introduced, the inducement of monetary advantage to be gained by removal to other districts where better salaries have hitherto been paid has been removed, and it may therefore be reasonably hoped that the various education districts of the colony will now be able to compete on something like equal terms for the best teaching talent available. Teaohbes' Salaries.—The temporary provision for increasing teachers' salaries made by " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1900," under which a parliamentary special vote for this purpose was distributed, afforded much-needed relief to the teachers of certain classes of schools, though, in the opinion of this Board, the distribution was not made on an entirely equitable basis. By virtue of this Act a sum of £991 10s. was added to the salaries of teachers in this district in respect of the first three quarters of the year, a fourth payment falling due and being paid along with the January (1902) salary. The schools in this district which received the most substantial advantage under the Act referred to were those at which the average attendance was less than twenty. It is yet too soon to express any decided opinion as to the merits of " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," under which a scale of salaries applicable to the whole colony is provided for. Very serious exception, however, may be taken to the totally inadequate salaries set down for the first (and only) assistant teachers of schools having an average of 150 to 200, and also to the salaries provided for male assistants generally of the second and lower grades in all other schools. There seems not the slightest justification for the payment of £80 per annum to the assistant in a school of 150 to 200 average attendance, and in the grade of school immediately above (200 to 250) that the salary should be £155—almost double. Such a striking anomaly does not appear to exist in any other part of the scale, and this anomaly—along with others of a less noticeable character —should be at once removed. That a young man, after serving a four-years apprenticeship as a pupil-teacher, and qualifying for a teacher's certificate, should receive a mere pittance of £80 per annum is manifestly unjust. The "equal pay for equal work" principle which has guided the framers of the Act in fixing the salaries of male and female pupil-teachers at the same rates is also, in the opinion of this Board, fallacious. The difficulty hitherto experienced by Boards in obtaining the services of suitable young men as pupil-teachers will be seriously enhanced by the low—altogether inadequate —rates of salary now offered. There is no provision in the Act for the teaching of needlework to the girls in schools having an average attendance of less than forty. This is a most serious omission, and should be remedied at onee —at least, so far as concerns schools having an attendance of, say, from twenty-five to forty, in which cases a small bonus of £5 to £10 might very properly be paid for instruction in such a useful accomplishment. Neither is there any provision for the payment of relieving-teachers, whose services will be required when leave of absence on account of sickness is granted to members of the regular teaching staff. Till provision is made by amendment of the Act, or by regulation made thereunder, some temporary expedient will require to be adopted to meet such expenditure. Other defects in the Act of a less serious nature undoubtedly exist, but reference to these may be reserved till some experience of its working is obtained. Training of Teachers. —The Board desires to acknowledge, with pleasure, the receipt from the Department of a special grant of £150 for the training of teachers. A sum of £86 17s. 4d. of this amount has been spent in the organization of classes for instruction in the various branches of kindergarten, hand-work, cookery, &c. To enable teachers the more easily to attend these classes, arrangements were made for the issue of free passes on the railways, for which service a further special grant of £28 16s. was made by the Department. A balance of £91 18s. Bd. is still in hand as an asset for expenditure during the coming year. Pupil-teachers.—The annual examination of pupil-teachers employed under the Board was held on Tuesday, the 9th July, and following days, when seventeen candidates presented themselves. Of this number, eleven were examined in all the subjects contained in the syllabus, and six in the subjects of drawing and school-management only, these latter having qualified for exemption in the other subjects by having passed the Matriculation or Civil Service Examination. As there were at that time forty-six pupil-teachers in the Board's service, twenty-nine who were not examined remain to be accounted for, and may, along with those who were examined, be grouped as follows : 11 pupil-teachers taking the full examination, 6 pupil-teachers taking drawing and school-management, 15 pupil-teachers are holders of teachers' certificates, 3 pupil-teachers not eligible for examination this year owing to recent appointment, 1 pupil-teacher failed to present herself, 10 pupil-teachers passed the first-class (final) examination : total, 46. The comparatively small number of pupil-teachers now requiring to undergo the annual test of scholarship indicates a very satisfactory improvement in the literary status, at least, of this department of the service. Scholarships.—The usual examination for scholarships was held simultaneously at three centres, thirty-six candidates presenting themselves at Invercargill, eleven at Gore, and seven at Queenstown. Of the fifty-four candidates who entered the lists sixteen gained over 60 per cent, of the total marks obtainable. To the first ten were awarded five scholarships of the value of £35 each, tenable for two years, and five of the value of £15 each, also tenable for two years, the first two on the latter list being also granted train or coach fare in addition to the amount of the scholarships. The Inspectors report that the best of the candidates have done work that

E.—l

compares very favourably with the best work done in previous years, though not so many as hitherto have distinguished themselves by obtaining high percentages. By way of explanation of this apparent falling-off in the efficiency of the candidates' work, it is pointed out that there has been a reduction of one year in the age of the candidates, and also that there were, for some unexplained reason, fewer candidates than the average of past years. Technical Education. —In last year's report reference was made to the probability of the Board taking over the work for several years carried on by the Technical Classes Association of Invercargill. The Board has now to report that the overtures then made by that association were agreed to, and the sole control of technical education throughout the Southland District was assumed by the Board. With the view to a proper organization of technical and continuation classes under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, the Board at its August meeting appointed Mr. W. A. McCaw to the position of Director of Technical Instruction, and from that officer's annual report full particulars respecting the inauguration and continuance of technical instruction under the supervision of the Board will be obtained. In the month of June last, and at the invitation of the Board, the then recently appointed Technical Inspectors for the colony, Messrs. Isaac and Brown, paid a visit to the district, and while here delivered a series of demonstration lectures illustrative of the method of conducting school classes. An audience of over one hundred teachers met the Inspectors, and it is quite safe to state that the opportune visit of those gentlemen did much to foster and encourage the enthusiasm of our teachers in the matter of technical education. Financially, the Board has reason to congratulate itself on the satisfactory result of its first year's control of technical education in Southland. The total sum received up till the 31st December was £399 11s. 4d., and the expenditure for the same period was £418 17s. The chief items of receipts were as follows: Government grants for (1) capitation £54 ss. 3d., (2) apparatus £114 18s. 7d., (3) subsidy on voluntary contributions £7 12s. 6d. ; from students'fees, £213 Is. 6d.; amount handed over to the Board by the Technical Classes Association, £9 13s. 6d. The aggregate of expenditure was made up as follows: Instructors' salaries, £253 155.; material, £11 16s. Id. ; apparatus, £127 19s. Bd. ; rent, £1 ; and incidentals, £24 6s. 3d. The foregoing figures do not represent the aggregate financial results of the year's operations, as several sums due by the Government in respect of capitation earned by the classes were not received before the close of the year, while considerable liabilities also existed at that date. It is perfectly safe to assume, however, that the general financial result of the year's work will be a substantial sum to the credit of the Technical Instruction Account wherewith to commence and carry on next year's operations. Buildings.—The maintenance in an efficient state of repair of the numerous buildings throughout the district has absorbed a considerable proportion of the funds available for the year, no less than a sum of £1,224 having been spent on such works. A sum of £1,459 was spent in new buildings, the principal works in this category being the erection of new schools at Waimahaka and Lower Hedgehope; small residences for the use of the teachers at Kapuka, Otapiri, Mokoreta, and a larger-sized residence at Otatara Bush on the site of the new school, the old building and ground being sold. Additions were also made to the schools at Nightcaps and Kennington, and to the teachers' residences at East Gore and Waimatuku. The total expenditure chargeable against the Building Account for the past year was £3,196 4s. 3d.; while the revenue for building purposes was £3,967 Os. 7d., which included receipts from sale of old residence and glebe at Otatara Bush, the sale of the old residence at Gore, and a deposit on the sale of the old school building and site at the Bluff. The surplus of receipts over expenditure was thus £771, which, after providing for the debtor balance at the beginning of the year, leaves a net credit to the Building Account of £377 lls. lid. It is specially fortunate that this credit exists, in view of the circumstance that the Board stands committed to the expenditure of a very large sum to erect a new school at the Bluff, and, further, if funds permit to commence in sections the erection of a building suitable to the requirements of the Invercargill South District. These works will absorb in themselves more than one-half the Board's ordinary building revenue for the coming year. Finance and Accounts. —The year opened with a sum of £1,249 4s. 10d. to credit, and closed with a credit balance of £938 14s. 3d., a falling-off to the extent of £310 10s. 7d. Both accounts—General and Building—stand in credit, the former to the extent of £561 2s. 4d., the latter £377 lls. lid. The actual liabilities are —against General Account, £822 6s. 9d.; against Building Account, £920 Is. It is certain, however, that the passing of the Teachers' Salaries Act will favourably affect the General Account. The sum to be obtained for the general expenses of the management of Boards (teachers' salaries being now excluded) will be considerably in excess of the averge expenditure for this purpose for several years past. With the introduction of an entirely new system of payments to Boards, by which at least three-fourths of their revenue is set apart absolutely for the payment of teachers' salaries, it will be incumbent—nay, imperative—that the Government provide year by year a sum amply sufficient to meet all reasonable requirement for buildings. By order of the Board. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Jno. Neill, Secretary.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONEES , EEPOETS.

AUCKLAND. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 11th April, 1902. I have the honour to forward herewith the statement of the accounts of the Auckland School Commissioners for the year 1901, from which it will be seen that, while the expenditure for the year was slightly reduced, the income was considerably increased, thus enabling the Commissioners to hand over £2,600 and £506 7s. 6d. for primary and secondary education purposes respectively, being the largest amount yet paid in any one year. The administration of the reserves calls for no special remark. Meetings were held monthly for the transaction of business, at which the average attendance was four. Every effort has been made to let the lands applied for. The rents have been fairly well paid up, and it should be borne in mind that those shown in arrear have been strictly charged as due in advance, no matter how late in the year the half-yearly payments became due. The reserves let during the year comprise fourteen sections of town and suburban lands, 37 acres 3 roods 13 perches, yielding an annual rental of £15 11s., and thirty-five sections of country lands, 2,542 acres, yielding an annual rental of £154 11s. 3d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. E. Udy, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sic, — School Commissioners' Office, New Plymouth, Bth February, 1902. I have the honour to hand you herewith the statement of account and balance-sheet of the School Commissioners for the Taranaki District in respect of the year 1901. The Board's operations call for no special comment, its revenue having been well maintained, and its relations with its tenants cordial and mutually satisfactory. During the year the Board sustained the loss, by death, of one of its members—Mr. C. K. Stock—who had been a Commissioner for a number of years, and always displayed great zeal in the performance of his duties. His place has been filled by Mr. E. G. Allsworth, appointed by the Government. Just at the close of the year we have also lost the valuable co-operation of Mr. John Strauchon, Commissioner of Crown Lands, whose promotion to Wellington deprives us of a colleague of sound judgment, with whom his fellow-members have always worked most pleasantly. The remaining members of the Board are Messrs. E. Cock (Chairman), James Wade, Henry Faull, and E. G. Allsworth ; Messrs. Wade and Faull being the two nominees of the Education Board. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. E. Cock, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAYI Sm, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 27th March, 1902^ I have the honour to forward herewith statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year ended the 31st December, 1901, duly audited, and to report as follows : — One auction sale of leases was held during the year, when one rural, two suburban, and fifteen town lots were offered. One of the suburban lots, containing 1 acre and 12 perches, was sold at the upset rental of 10s. per annum, and four of the town lots were sold at an aggregate annual rental of £6 ss. The other lots were passed in. Since the sale five of the town lots have been leased at the upset rentals. A block of 5,600 acres of poor land, which had been unoccupied for some time, and upon which money had to be spent to clear it of rabbits, has been let from year to year at a rental of £25 per annum. I have, &c, Ebic C. Gold Smith, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

CANTERBURY. Sir, — Government Buildings, Christchurch, 7th January, 1902. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1901, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1901, was 68,054f acres, producing an annual rental of £17,122 15s. Bd. Of this area 24,200 acres is contained in Pastoral Run No. 5, which was obtained from the Crown early in 1892 in exchange for agricultural land in the Waimate County. The fixed deposit of £163 3s. 5d., which matured on the 21st December, 1901 (and is only available for the purchase of land), has been renewed for one year. On the 15th January last the six remaining quarter-acre sections in the Township of Opawa, Albury (part of Reserve 1213), were sold by public auction at Timaru by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, five at the upset price of £5 each and one at £6. The net proceeds of this sale amounted to £30 2s. 6d. This, added to the net amount—£l4l 10s. Bd.—received from the sale of Opawa Township sections by the Commissioner of Crown Lands on the 6th September, 1898, makes a total sum of £171 13s. 2d., which is only available for purchase of land or investment on gageDuring the year twenty farms were relet. Of these, nine of moderate area were renewed by arbitration, under clause 244 of " The Land Act, 1892," to the old tenants, who were very satisfactory ones, and the remainder were let by public tender. 1 have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Sidney Webtman, Chairman.

In the early part of the year two of the Commissioners and the Secretary made a detailed inspection of all the holdings in the Wendon District for the purpose of recommending an adjustment of rents, which was subsequently made. During the year the Commissioners leased nine holdings for pastoral purposes, sixty-one for agricultural purposes, and thirty-three township sections in various parts of the provincial district. The area of the pastoral land was 20,221 acres, leased to eight tenants at £378 4s. Bd. per annum, or 4 T 7 ff d. per acre ; the area of the agricultural land was 3,530 acres, leased to fifty-two tenants at £647 16s. 4d. per annum, or fd. per acre; and the area of township sections was 11 acres, leased to twenty-five tenants at £56 2s. 6d. per annum. During the year the sum of £457 was received in repayment of loans, and £5,450 was advanced on mortgage at per cent, interest. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears of rent, &c, on the 31st December, 1901, the sum of £2,128 15s. has since been collected. The rents are debited half-yearly ill advance, and those that are not paid by the 31st December are shown as arrears, although the period which they represent does not end until 30th April following, and a great number of them are not paid until after harvest. In reference to amounts of £1,641 Is. 4d. and £45 16s. 10d., shown as expenses of management, I would explain that £54 7s. 2d. appears on the other side of the account under the following heads—viz., Cash received for preparing leases by Commissioners' office staff, £30 15s. 6d.; insurance premiums collected from tenants, £4 16s. 6d. ; office-rent, £10 ; county rates received from tenants, £6 17s. 2d. ; refund of stamps and law-costs, £1 18s., and should be deducted from the expenses of management. A large proportion of the amount included in the expenses of management—viz., £414 3s. Bd.—was expended in the improvement of the endowments by drainage, and in the protection of a large portion of river-flat which was threatened with damage by the encroachment of the Mataura Eiver. The sum of £137 4s. Id. was paid to the Government for train fares, stamps, Crowngrant fees, &c, of which £52 6s. represents the Commissioners' train fares in connection with their attendance at monthly meetings in Dunedin. Deducting the foregoing figures from the amount of £1,686 18s. 2d., the actual cost of management appears as £1,081 3s. 3d., which is a moderate sum considering the large amount of clerical work and inspection entailed in the management of an estate with a rent-roll of 863 tenants scattered all over Otago and Southland. I take this opportunity of removing an impression that has gone abroad to the effect that the School Commissioners of Otago are desirous of selling part of their endowments. It is true that in certain cases they have recommended the Government to give effect to resolutions of Land Boards to enable holders of perpetual leases of education reserves which are under the administration of Land Boards to acquire their freehold. But this was done simply to carry out the evident intentions of " The Eeserves and Crown Lands Disposal and Enabling Act, 1896," and as an act of good faith to the lessees, and not from any wish to carry out a policy to which the Commissioners are one and all most strongly opposed. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. D. Babbon, Chairman.

CIECUI.AKS. Education Department, Wellington, 2nd March, 1901. The Secretary to the Education Board, You will see that by Order in Council published in yesterday's Gazette there is now to be only one computation of a.verage attendance. A sufficient number of copies of the Order will be sent to you to enable you to send one to each school. The Quarterly Return of Attendance is being revised, and will be issued with the least possible delay. The Eegister of Daily Attendance will also be revised. G. Hogben, Secretary for Education.

Education Department, 26th April, 1901. The Secretary, Education Board, In considering the administration of the Manual and Technical Instruction Act the Government have become impressed with the necessity for making proper provision for the training of teachers in the work which under the Act will now become part of the public-school course, and have in view certain measures of a general character under which facilities for obtaining adequate instruction will be brought within the reach of members of the public-school staff. Pending the elaboration of such measures the Minister has decided to offer your Board a grant of £ to enable it to make temporary arrangements for the furtherance of the objects in view, the only conditions attached being that the grant must be used for the instruction of public-school teachers in manual and technical work as prescribed for school classes, and that the teachers shall be admitted to the course of instruction free of charge. E. O. Gibbes, Assistant Secretary for Education.

(Circular). Education Department, Wellington, sth June, 1901. The Secretary to the Education Board, A medal to commemorate the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall is being prepared for presentation to school-children throughout the colony, and the issue will, it is hoped, be completed before their Royal Highnesses leave New Zealand. A supply adequate to the requirements of your district will be sent to you with the least possible delay, and the Minister will be obliged if you will undertake the distribution of them. The presentation is not to be confined to children attending public schools, but those attending any school may participate. Native schools will be provided for by the Department. E. O.

(Circular memorandum.) Education Department, Wellington, 14th August, 1901. The Secretary, Education Board, I forwaed herewith a supply of forms of certificate for issue to teachers entitled to attend trainingclasses approved by the Board. Please cancel the forms sent previously. Tickets will be issued on Friday or Saturday, available for return either on Saturday or on Monday, as may be necessary in each case. As indicated on the form of certificate, Stationmasters will forward their schedules (see form marked * enclosed herewith), supported by certificates, to you for approval. Although you may not perhaps be in a position to certify to the absolute correctness of the schedules, yet it is necessary, of course, that you should certify on the schedules that the teachers to whom the tickets were issued, as shown thereon, were teachers whose names were on the roll of classes approved by your Board. For audit purposes, however, it will be necessary that the Railway Department's accounts for the amounts shown in the schedules should be finally certified to as correct, as far as it is possible to do so. In order to comply with this requirement the certificates issued to teachers will be recorded in this office for comparison with the registers ; and, so far as this is concerned, the checking of the attendances at technical classes will be done at the end of each year when the registers have been received in this office. It would probably save time and trouble to your Board if this Department also undertook to check the certificates (if any) issued for attendance at drill or other classes approved by your Board. If this proposal is agreed to, please forward the registers to this office at the end of the last term in each year. Please reply. G. Hogbbn, Secretary for Education.

Education Department, Wellington, 23rd October, 1901. The Secretary to the Education Board, It not infrequently happens that in the event of the destruction of a school by fire the information which the Board obtains with regard to the occurrence is confined to a report by the teacher or the Committee, supplemented perhaps by one from the police. The Minister directs me to bring under the notice of Boards the desirability, as a general rule, of their having an independent inquiry made in every case of the loss or damage of school property by fire. The evidence taken at any such inquiry, and the report thereon, after having been duly considered by the Board, should be forwarded for the information of the Department. E. 0. Gibbes, Assistant Secretary.

Education Department, Wellington, 12th November, 1901. (Circular memorandum to Secretaries to Education Boards.) As you are aware, the passing of the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act will alter the basis of the principal payments made to Education Boards, and it is desirable that the work entailed by the Act upon the officers of the various Boards and of this Department shall, with a due regard to efficiency, be kept within as narrow limits as possible. There are other matters in which it is advisable that the routine work should be made as simple as it can be made. Such matters are the recognition of instructors and the sending-in of claims under " The Manual and Technical Instruction Act, 1900," district high school grants, the checking of railway tickets for drill and technical classes, &c. It has been suggested that there should be a conference between the Department and Secretaries of Education Boards, presided over by the Secretary for Education, to discuss details with the above objects in view, and I have to ask you whether your Board will be willing that its Secretary should attend such a conference, to be held in Wellington, say, about the second week in December. It is not proposed that questions of policy should be discussed, but the great saving of work to the Boards and the Department that would, it is hoped, be the result of the conference, affords sufficient reason for holding it. I should be glad to receive a reply with the least possible delay, as arrangements will have to be made in good time. . G. Hogben.

Authority : John Mackay, Government Printer, Wellington.—l9o2.
