ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN OP THE BOARD OP GOVERNORS. At the meeting of the Board of Governors of Canterbury College, held on the 24th March, 1902, the Chairman's statement of the progress made and work done in the several departments during the year was read, as follows : — [Some details are omitted in this reprint.—Secretary Education.] The College. The report for the year 1900 was delivered on the 25th March, 1901. The present is the twenty-ninth annual report and statement of the Chairman of the Board of Governors since the establishment of the institution in 1873, and the sixth since the passing of " The Canterbury College and Canterbury Agricultural College Act, 1896." Since 1873, five members in all have held the important office of Chairman of the Board. It is now our sad duty to record the death, on the 11th February, of Mr. H. E. Webb, who was appointed a member of the Board under "The Canterbury College Ordinance, 1873," and who held the position of Chairman from the 30th April, 1894, till his death. It is fitting that the valuable services rendered by him should be recorded. The Board, on the 25th February, elected Mr. T. S. Weston to the position of Chairman for the unexpired term of office of the late Mr. Webb. At the annual meeting, held in July, Mr. Weston was again appointed to the position for the ensuing year.

It is with regret that the death of Mr. Chrystall, a member of the Board, has to be reported, and also that of the Hon. H. B. Gresson, a former Chairman. At the ordinary election of the Board in June last, Mr. R. Westenra, after a service of fifteen and a-half years, declined to seek re-election ; as also did Mr. C. S. Howard, who was elected in July, 1897. Professor T. G. B. Blunt, M.A., &c, entered upon the duties of the chair of modern languages on the 24th August last. The work had, since the commencement of the session, been performed by Mr. C. V. 0. The thanks of the Board were given to the Agent-General for the valuable assistance rendered by him in London in connection with the appointment of the new professor. Mr. Dendy, the professor of biology, obtained leave of absence for the year 1902 to proceed to England. In his absence the classes will be conducted by Dr. Chilton, who resigned his seat on the Board with a view to take up the work. The professorial staff has been deprived, by death, of the services of Mr. G. F. Tendall, Mus. Bac. Oxon., who, since the year 1891, held the position of lecturer in music. Music.—The usual lectures in music were delivered during the session, until the death, on the 25th October, of the late lecturer, Mr. G. P. Tendall; subsequently the annual examination was conducted by Mr. H. Wells. There was a large increase of candidates for the examination in music of the Associated Board of the Eoyal Academy of Music and the Eoyal College of Music. Ninety-five candidates sat for the various theoretical examinations in June, of whom eighty-four passed. The practical examinations were conducted in October by Mr. H. W. Eichards, Mus. Bac, 144 candidates presented themselves, and of these 117 succeeded in passing. The following are the totals as compared with last year : 1900—Examined, 92; passed, 65. 1901—Examined, 239 ; passed, 201. The gold medal given to the highest honours candidate in the local centre examinations in Canterbury was gained by Miss Lillian A. Pattrick; and the silver medal, to the next highest honours candidate, was won by Miss Iris C. Edgar. Mr. Eichards reported on the practical examinations as follows : " The candidates have acquitted themselves quite as well as at any centre in which I have examined in Australasia. The standard of the Associated Board is a high one, and is exactly the same as that adopted in England. Bearing this in mind the results have been most satisfactory. I hope it is not necessary to impress on the candidates at Christchureh (as it has been elsewhere) that gaining the senior certificates does not mean that their musical education has finished. It ought rather to be regarded as the starting-point from which to begin the study of the works of the great masters." Exempted Students.—ln addition to the usual examination of students exempted from attendance at lectures held at Christchureh, similar examinations were also held at Timaru and Wangamii. The number of those examined at a distance from Christchureh continues to exhibit a falling-off, as shown in the figures attached : 1897, 51; 1898, 56; 1899, 23 ; 1900, 6 ; 1901, 5. The following table shows the number of matriculated and non-matriculated students who have attended lectures since the year 1890, to date :— Matriou- Non-Matriou- Matriou- Non-Matriou-lated. lated. Total. lated. lated. Total. 1890 ... 151 116 267 1896 ... 150 66 216 1891 ... 172 177 349 1897 ... 144 73 217 1892 ... 186 159 345 1898 ... 131 56 187 1893 ... 182 158 340 1899 ... 117 65 182 1894 ... 185 141 326 1900 ... 125 93 218 1895 ... 177 130 307 1901 ... 148 72 220 Qniveesity Extension Lectubes.—The Committee received applications from thirteen persons who were desirous to assist in this work by lecturing. Of these no less than seven were or had been either engaged on the teaching staff of colleges in New Zealand, or had already done work as extension lecturers at Home. Four had taken honours or an equivalent certificate at the New Zealand University or at Home, and two were students of promise in their subjects. The subjects offered comprised literature and language of England, France, and Germany, ancient and modern history, applied chemistry, general botany, agricultural botany, biology, and a class in elementary physiology for women only. The fees were fixed at £21 for a course of six lectures, and £40 for a course of twelve. As the lectures were distinctly understood not to be popular lectures, but to involve real hard work on the part of both lecturer and class, and as each lecture was to consist of two hours, one devoted to lecturing and the other to discussion and answering of questions, &c, it was felt tha.t really capable lecturers could not be offered less than the above fees to leave their regular work and give up valuable time for this purpose. It is to be regretted that at present no applications have been made for the services of the lecturers. The committee are still making inquiries, and hope to establish lectures. It must be, however, distinctly understood that university extension lectures, wherever given, either at Home or in the colonies, have been subject to two conditions: (1) They should not be "popular" lectures; (2) They should be self-supporting. College Lectuees.-—The number of students attending each lecture during the term of 1901 was as follows :— Classics. —Pass Latin: Translation, 30; Composition, 25; teachers' class, 11. Honours Latin, 4. Greek: Translation, 1; composition, 1. English Literature and Language. —Pass Lectures : History and structure of the English language, 24; Anglo-Saxon and Middle English, 21; literature and set books, 37; essay class, 29.

Bachelor of Arts—Final section, 5; first section, 13. Bachelor of Science—Final section, 1. Bachelor of Science in Engineering—Second mechanical examination (part of), 5; first mechanical examination (completed), 1; first mechanical examination (part of), 12. Bachelor of Laws—Second examination, 2 ; first examination, 1. Teachers' examination—Class C, 2. Gibls' High School. The School. —The roll for 1901 shows a steady and satisfactory increase on that of 1900, the number for the last term being 127. Thirty-seven pupils held scholarships or received free education : eighteen holding scholarships, &c, from the Board of Governors, eighteen scholarships from the North Canterbury Board of Education, and one a scholarship from the Canterbury Caledonian Society. The health of the pupils during the year has been remarkably good. Examination Results. —At the December University examinations fourteen pupils passed the matriculation test, one the medical preliminary examination, and three gained places in the Junior University Scholarship credit list. Two of these were awarded the two Gammack Scholarships offered by the Board of Education. Three pupils won Senior Board of Education Scholarships, two taking first and second places on the list. Four pupils sat for the Senior Civil Service examination, and eight for the Junior. Amongst numerous distinctions gained by former pupils during the year the success of Miss Alice Moorhouse in gaining the degree of M.B. and CM. at Glasgow University is worthy of mention, as that of the first fully qualified lady-doctor coining from the school. Technical Classes. —During the year an attempt has been made to bring the technical classes at this school under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act of 1900, in order to benefit by the subsidies in aid of such classes offered by the Act. The two cooking classes and two dressmaking classes were accepted, without alteration, by the authorities in Wellington, as in all particulars fulfilling the requirements of the Act; but it does not seem practicable for more than the upper drawing class to attempt the programme of work required. The swimming class is also eligible for a grant as far as provision for instruction is concerned, but owing to the shortness of the bathing season in Christehurch, considerably shortened again by the summer holidays, and the very limited and somewhat inconvenient hours at which the bath—that at the Boys' High School —is available for use by the girls, the number who can make the required attendances is very limited. Boys' High School. The headmaster, Mr. C. E. Bevan-Brown, M.A., resumed his place at the school at the commencement of the year, restored in health. He expressed to the Board his satisfaction with the state in which he found the school, and his appreciation of Mr. Lawrence's conduct of affairs in his absence. The school felt great regret at the death of Mr. H. B. Webb, the late Chairman. Masters and senior boys attended the funeral, and the boys collected £7 to erect a flagpole, a matter in which Mr. Webb took much interest. The year 1901, like the year 1900, was marked by public and national events of exciting interest, which were duly taken notice of in the life of the school. On the occasion of the memorable visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, the cadets took part in the review, and also in keeping the streets on the day of arrival. The school itself had erected a special stand near the Worcester Street Bridge, on the line of route, duly decorated with motto

and colours. The masters in academicals, and a good muster of the school, with old boys, took their places on this, and gave the Duke and Duchess an enthusiastic reception. The general conduct and tone of the boys has been very satisfactory. Public Libraey. In accordance with the powers conferred by Act of Parliament on the Board of Governors, a tender for the erection of a public reading-room and other additions to the Public Library, at a total cost of £4,307, was accepted in May last. The building will be a handsome addition to the public buildings of Christchurch, and is now rapidly approaching completion. The floor space and galleries of the circulating and reference departments are about 4,900 superficial feet. The floor space and gallery of the new building will be about 5,200 ft. The circulating library will be very much improved; the office will be removed to the new building, and the extra space thus obtained will be used for extra bookcases. The lighting will be increased by large skylights. It is anticipated that the whole of the additions and improvements will be completed in a few weeks. The old building that had done duty as a reading-room for many years was sold by auction, for removal, and realised the sum of £80 3s. sd. Since the removal of the old building, a room opposite has been rented to serve the purposes of a reading-room. Reference Department. —During the year a man was detected in the act of damaging a volume, and convicted in the Magistrate's Court; while another was sentenced for damaging books. Additional book-shelves are urgently required. A very large number of books have had to be rebound on account of destruction by gas. It is to be regretted that sufficient funds are not available for extending the present buildings, as increased accommodation is much needed. The donations for the year amount to 182 volumes, amongst which are ninety-five volumes of the Illustrated London News, from 1843 to 1898, presented by Sir John Hall, K.C.M.G. This department is much appreciated by the public. Circulating Department. —lt was. found expedient to postpone the annual stock-taking until the proposed alterations were completed. Additional space will be provided for the volumes, and new book-cases will be required. 498 volumes have been taken off the shelves as unfit for issue, while seventeen volumes have been lost and paid for by subscribers. The number of new books and renewals amounts to 1,282 volumes, bringing the total number of books in this department up to 20,026. The average number of subscribers for the year was 1894. The new catalogue is nearly completed, and will soon be ready for the printer. The library has sustained a loss by the death, last July, of Mr. P. McClenahan, who was one of the staff for over thirteen years, and was a painstaking officer. The following figures show the income from subscriptions during the last few years : 1897, £825 Is.; 1898, £857 155.; 1899, £889 10s. 6d.; 1900, £926 4s. 6d.; 1901, £943 19s. 6d. Beading-room. —The number of magazines and newspapers placed on the table are : New Zealand papers, 82 ; English papers and magazines, 21 ; Australian papers, 9 ; American papers, 3. School of Engineering, Electeicity, and Technical Science. Eeport of the Professor in charge (Mr. Eobt. J. Scott, M.lnst.C.E., M.lnst.M.E.) :— This year has marked an important development, the teaching of electricity for the arts, science, and engineering courses having been undertaken. Attendance. —Though during the year the work of the school has been carried on with difficulty (the existing accommodation being altogether overtaxed), I am able to report a gratifying increase in the number of students. 192 students attended lectures, while the total hour attendances per week amounted to 997, being an increase of 50 per cent, in the number of students and nearly 70 per cent, in hour attendances as compared with last year. Of these students, thirty were matriculated, and are taking either the course prescribed for the degree of B.Sc. in engineering or that for the Associateship of the School of Engineering. In the previous year only fourteen students were so occupied. Annual Examinations. —At the annual college examinations seven students passed in subjects of the first examination for the Associateship ; three passed in subjects of the second examination ; five passed in subjects of the second and third examinations ; and one, having completed the course, obtained the certificate of Associate of the School of Engineering. Nineteen students sat for the University examinations in engineering and electricity. Engineering Laboratory.- —There was a marked increase in the number of tests made as compared with the previous year. Tests were made on axles for the New Zealand Government railways ; oil for the Union Steamship Company; building materials for the School of Engineering, School of Art, Public Library, and the Cathedral; dumping-bands for the Wellington Harbour Board ; and boiler-plates, stone, concrete, and cement for local firms. Apparahis. —During the year a large quantity of apparatus for the experimental teaching of applied mechanics was added to the plant. This apparatus was made in Christchurch from drawings prepared by students of the school. Other additions to the plant consist of a microscope, two balances, three sets of chemical weights, two sets of commercial weights, and various scales, in addition to which a large quantity of electrical apparatus for the equipment of electrical laboratories has been received. Buildings. —The erection of the new electrical laboratories and lecture-rooms has progressed slowly during the year. On their completion the school will compare favourably, both as to accommodation and plant, with any of a similar character in the Australian Colonies. Evening Glasses. —Of the students attending evening classes, four obtained first-class and ten second-class certificates in elementary steam ; six obtained first-class and five second-class certificates in elementary applied mechanics; two obtained first-class and eight second-class certificates in mechanical drawing, section I.; four obtained first-class and two second-class certificates in

mechanical drawing, section 11. ; one obtained first-class certificate in mechanical drawing, section III.; eleven obtained first-class and nine second-class certificates in freehand mechanical drawing; fourteen obtained first-class and eleven second-class certificates in descriptive geometry and setting out work; one obtained second-class certificate in elementary applied mechanics and mechanics of machinery; one obtained first-class certificate in strength of materials; one obtained first-class certificate in the steam-engine (advanced); one obtained first-class certificate in applied mechanics; one obtained first-class certificate in mechanics of machinery; one obtained secondclass certificate in theory of workshop practice ; one obtained first-class and one second-class certificate in elementary electrical engineering; and one obtained first-class certificate in pass electricity and magnetism. Museum. Eeport of the Curator (Capt. F. W. Hutton, F.E.S.) :— The additions to the Museum during the past year have been very considerable, and I would specially call attention to the collection of Phenoecian glass and Maori carvings. In January, at the invitation of His Excellency the Earl of Banfurly, I accompanied him round the southern islands in the Government steamer " Hinemoa," on a collecting trip, partly for the British Museum and partly for ourselves. During the trip I obtained twenty-two species of animals new to science, and the types of twenty of these are retained in the Canterbury Museum. I also obtained eleven species of birds for the Museum, of which five were not previously represented, including a specimen of the rare Mergtis australis, presented by the Earl of Ranfurly. Also four skeletons of birds, all new to the collection. During the year exchanges have been received from the National Museum at Washington ; the Perth Museum, West Australia; and Mr. S. W. Neate. Exchanges have been sent to the University of California; the Noumea Museum, New Caledonia ; and Mr. S. W. Neate. The following are the principal additions to the collections :— Geological Collections. —A skull of Titanotherium, and Cambrian fossils, received in exchange ; obsidianites, from Central Australia, presented by Lady Brown. Natural History Collections. —Australian cormorants, received in exchange. Archceological Collections. —Phenoecian glass: 135 pieces, as well as some terra-cottas and bronzes collected by the late Mr. E. Damon in Tyre and Sidon, purchased. Paleolithic stone implements from Egypt, presented by Mr. Seton-Karr; old iron shield, made in Venice, received in exchange. EtJinological Collections. —A collection of various objects from New Guinea; an inlaid canoe and paddle from the Solomon Islands; fish-hooks from six different localities in Polynesia; two old carved clubs from Samoa; bishop's mitre and two coffee-pots from Abyssinia; a saddle and bridle from the Soudan; a collection of African fetishes and other objects; a small collection of old Indian arms : all purchased. Kaffir objects, presented by Mr. F. Sheriff, of Bulawayo ; and two old clubs from Fiji, presented by Mrs. A. C. White. New Zealand Collections. —Birds and insects from the southern islands, collected by myself. Three bird-skins presented by Mr. A. T. Pycroft. Maori Collections. —A number of old Maori carvings ; three carved karaka-trees from the Chatham Islands; model of Tawiti's pa, Euapekapeka: all purchased. Kiwi mat, flax cap, and toilet bag, presented by the City Council. Stone implements, presented by Mr. W. W. Smith. Library. —ln addition to the usual presentations from museums, scientific societies, and governments, Verrall's "British Syrphidse " has been presented by the curator, and " Ayes Polynesise " by L. W. Wrigglesworth. Belies. —Four framed pictures of old Canterbury were presented by Mr. J. M. Heywood. School op Act. Report of the Art Master (Mr. G. H. Elliott) : — As compared with 1900 the number of students in attendance has been as follows :— 1900. Morning. Afternoon. Evening. Saturday. First term ... ... ... 31 2 132 82 Second term ... ... 32 1 139 71 Third term ... ... ... 29 2 136 73 1901. First term ... ... ... 28 2 135 62 Second term... ... ... 26 3 123 81 Third term ... ... ... 26 1 186 170 Drawing and Painting. —The work in the different branches has maintained a high standard. The drawing from life in black and white was particularly successful. As the students have been devoting more attention to design for applied art work, the painting from still life, &c, has not received so much attention. Modelling, Casting, and Moulding. —The average attendance in all the classes combined has een : 1900, 31; 1901, 79. This increase is due mainly to the public-school teachers, who have very largely taken up this subject for school work, under the new Manual and Technical Instruction Act. Their work has been of a special character, suited to kindergarten and the standards. The general work of the other students has been from the cast and nature studies. In a few cases it has reached a high state of excellence. Various methods of moulding and casting have been practised.

Wood and Stone Carving. —l am able to report more favourably of this class than previously. Under the new instructor the work has decidedly improved, though only elementary work is yet done. The attendance, though better than the former year, is still very small. The average has been : 1900,11; 1901, 16. Bepousse or Beaten Metal Work. —This class was started last year. Though few have so far taken it up the work done is creditable, and as the art becomes better known it will become popular. Painters' and Decorators' Work. —The average attendance in this class has been : 1900, 18 ; 1901, 20. This is the highest attendance since its establishment in 1899, and shows that the work is growing in favour with those for whom it was founded. Hitherto the work has had to be carried on under extremely unfavourable conditions as to room and convenience. These have now been remedied by the provision of a special room, which is to be fitted up with every convenience. The students will thus be able to study all the different branches of their work under proper conditions. Advance should now be speedily seen, both in quality of work and in numbers attending. Decorative Design. —The attendance in this class has for a long time been unsatisfactory, considering its importance. There is at last, however, a decided advance, which I hope will be permanent. The average for the year has been : 1900, 14 ; 1901, 33. The work has been of the same character as last year. Architecture and Building Construction. —The average attendance for the last two years has been : 1900, 20 ; 1901, 39. The elementary division is answerable for this satisfactory increase, and it is likely to be more than maintained. I attribute the very marked advance to the appointment of an additional instructor for the elementary work, thus freeing Mr. Hurst Seager for the advanced. Geometry and Perspective. —Considering the vital importance of geometry to so many industries, it is gratifying to note the very marked advance in attendance, the average for the last two years being : 1900, 27 ; 1901, 76. This indicates that the value of this subject is being appreciated as it should be. The chief inci'ease has been in the elementary (evening) class, which has been placed under a new instructor, Mr. Thompson. Scholarships, Canterbury Industrial Association. —Three scholarships were competed for in December, entitling the winners to two years' free tuition. Scholarships, Builders' Association. —Two are offered annually, one to those under twenty and over eighteen, and one to those under eighteen. The competition was held last March. Public School Scholarships. —An annual free studentship is given to the head boy in drawing in each school in the North Canterbury Education District having over 170 pupils. The Board have recently decided to offer ten scholarships for competition amongst the girls of the public schools in the district: six to schools having not less than 400 pupils on the roll, and four to those having less than 400. They will entitle the winners to free tuition for one year in the morning class. The first competition is to be held shortly. Free Studentships. —Seven free studentships offered by the Board for annual competition on the past year's work were awarded. Prizes. —The following prizes were gained by students : The Painters' Union prizes—Section 2, sign-writing; sections 1 and 3, no competition. Nicholson prizes (open to painters' apprentices attending the school) —Section 1., best work for the year in freehand and model; section 2, best work in the geometry class. Sections"3 and 4 no competition. Prizes (outside competitions) Canterbury Society of Arts) —Modelling from life (bronze medal), still life (silver medal), design for cover of catalogue. Every prize awarded was won by our students. Wellington Society of Arts—Design for cover of catalogue, figure from antique, painting from life, head from life in monochrome. Wanganui Society of Arts —Head from life in monochrome, design for cover of catalogue. Also prizes from various donors. Local Examinations. —The local examinations were held in December. The results are :— Second grade.—Freehand—Excellent, 32; pass, 40: model—excellent, 32; pass, 59: geometry —excellent, 6; pass, 3 : perspective —excellent, 2 ; pass, 6 : blackboard drawing—excellent, 1; pass, 4. Full second-grade certificates.—First-grade geometry—Excellent, 19 ; pass, 4. Modelling.—Elementary ornament —First class, 2 ; second class, 0 : advanced ornament—first class, 2 ; Second class, 1 : elementary antique —first-class, 4 ; second class, 1. Education Department of Great Britain (late Science and Art Department, South Kensington.) —The results of the examination, held last June, are not yet to hand. The extreme delay in obtaining results increasingly deters students from entering. New Buildings. —My reports for some years past have referred to the necessity for increased accommodation and convenience for applied work, none previously existing. lam pleased at last to be able to report that a beginning has been made to remedy these deficiencies. With the generous help of the Government the Board has been able to erect two fine rooms, 46 ft. by 28 ft. The lower one will be used mostly for painters' and decorators' work, the upper one for wood and stone carving, and modelling and casting. A small room has been cut out of the upper one for the purpose of a library, which will also supply a long experienced want. With such improved conditions an impetus will be given to the work in these branches, and I trust that in time similar suitable provision will be made for other equally important subjects. In reference to the library, in addition to the books it is intended to file the leading periodicals in all the different industries and manufactures connected with the students' work.
