■HW T- he total attendance for the whole colony continues to improve. *or the year 1900 the average was 111,747; for 1901 it was 111,797 • while last year it reached 113,711, which is the highest that has been attained in any year since the coming into force of the Education Act of 1877 As in Lyui, owing to the prevalence of sickness, one quarter shows a considerable S, ?£-°f ?

TABLE A.-School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1902.

Partly through the operation of the School Attendance Act of 1901 and partly from other causes, such as the increase in the number of schools m sparsely populated districts attendance at public schools has improv d and he c seems to be good reason to hope that it may still further improve The standard of regularity of attendance reached in 1900 and 1901-namely 841 of the averse weekly roll-number rose to 84-9 in 1902. This figure is a high one compared with the corresponding hgures for the British Isles and for the several States of the Australian Commonwealth.

TABLE B.-School Attendance For 1902.

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 1902 as compared with 1901 in all districts except Wellington, Marlborough, and Westland, where there have been slight decreases. Ihe position is shown in tabular form below (Table Bl). The increase m the average or the North Island is 1,162, and that for the South Island is 752 the increase for the whole colony being thus 1,914. The greatest increase (498) is shown in Wanganui, the next being Taranaki, with an increase of 422. Ihe greatest increase for the South Island is in Southland (330).

TABLE B1.-Comparison of School Attendance, 1901-1902, North Island and South Island.

It will be seen that there has been an improvement in the regularity ot school attendance in all the districts of the colony except Auckland, Wellington and Grey. Wellington, with 82-5 per cent., is the lowest (It may or may not be a significant fact in this connection that the Wellington District ceased to employ the services of a truant officer.) Otago, South Canterbury, andWertland, which stood at the head of the list in 1901, have each improved Jhen percentage, Otago still remaining at the top with a percentage of 88 1, Westland being next with 87-9, and South Canterbury next with 86;9. The South Island shows a greater degree of regularity of attendance than the .North Island, the respective rates being 86"1 per cent, and 83"8 per cent, of the average weekly roll.

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, 1902.

The number of children of Maori and mixed race attending the public schools has increased during the year by 340 —namely, from 2,688 to 3,028 ; the number of such children in the Maori village schools was greater by 444 in 1902 than it was in 1901; in the Maori boarding-schools there was an increase of 7. In the aggregate there were 6,626 children of Maori and mixed race receiving instruction last year, as against 5,835 the previous year —that is, there was a total increase of 791. Table C shows the number of the population, exclusive of Maoris and Chinese, at each year of age, and the percentage of children at each age that at 31st March, 1901, were receiving instruction in the public schools.

TABLE C.—Number on Public-School Roll compared with Population, according to Age and Sex.

Note.—The figures in column 3 are from the last Census returns (31st Maroh, 1901). It is estimated that the proportions are practically unchanged. The proportion of boys to girls is almost the same as for 1900 and 1901— 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 924 girls. The ratio of the children under ten years of age to those over that age is slightly lower than it was last year. The actual percentages are respectively 519 and 481 of the roll-number. Table CI gives the numbers, according to the returns of the BegistrarGeneral, that at 31st March, 1901, were under instruction at colleges or grammar or high schools, at private schools, at denominational schools, and at home respec-

tively. Probably about'3,2oo of these were over the age of fifteen, and the remainder nearly all between five and fifteen years of age. As the numbers for each year of age are not available, it is impossible even by combining Tables C and CI to come to absolutely certain conclusions ; but careful comparison of these and other facts seems to give reasonable ground for the following inferences : — (a.) 71 per cent, begin to receive instruction between the ages five and six, or at an earlier age; 21 per cent, begin between six and seven; and 8 per cent, do not begin until after they have reached the age of seven, that is, not until they are compelled by law to attend school, (b.) It is not easy to ascertain exactly how many evade attendance at school altogether, the number is certainly very small; but the greatest leakage appears to be at the age ten to twelve. As this is the age at which habits of truancy and nomadism, which are the recognised cause of juvenile delinquency at a later age, begin, the fact should not escape the attention of truant officers and others concerned, (c.) The same figures appear to indicate that nearly 3 per cent, of boys and 3 per cent, of girls cease to receive instruction at or before the age of twelve, 13 per cent, of boys and 18 per cent, of girls at or about the age of thirteen, 36 per cent, of boys and 32 per cent, of girls at or about the age of fourteen, and 44 per cent, of boys and girls cease to receive instruction soon after reaching their fifteenth birthday ; in other words, about 96 per cent, of boys and girls receive no further instruction after the age of fifteen or sixteen. These numbers are only roughly approximate.

TABLE C1. —Attendance at Schools, 31st March, 1901.

Inspection 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 further increase for the year, from 26 - 78 per cent, to 26 - 87 per cent. The proportions in classes S6 and S7 have also increased. The other classes present a slight decrease.

TABLE D.—Classification by Standards, December, 1902.

As the total number of children under eight years of age in the public schools is only 38,438, the number in the preparatory classes (35,535) certainly seems high when the elementary character of the work, even in SI, is considered. It should be possible by improved methods, and perhaps also by employing a larger proportion of adult teachers in the infant classes, to lessen this apparent defect without in any way overtaxing the children.

The increase of the numbers in S6 and S7 is probably due in part to the increase in the number of district high schools. Table E gives the passes in standards. The proportion of the number who passed in standards to the number present at the Inspectors' annual visits was 94-2 per cent. In 1901 the corresponding figures were 94-1 per cent.

TABLE E.—Passes in Standards, 1902.

The proportion of the number that passed the various standards to the total number on the rolls on the days of the Inspectors' annual visits was 54-5 per cent. In 1901 the corresponding figures were 55-1 per cent. In Table F are given the percentages of passes of those examined (or present) in the standard classes and other examination statistics for the several education districts of the colony.

TABLE F.—Examination Statistics for 1902.

Table G- gives the average ages at which children passed the various standards. The lowest average age at which Standard I. was passed was eight years and six months, in the Wellington District. Standard V., the " standard of exemption," was passed at the average age of twelve years and two months in Otago, and of thirteen years and four months in Taranaki, these two being the lowest and highest average ages respectively.

TABLE G.—Average Age of Pupils at Standard Examinations in 1902.

The difference between the average ages at which Standard I. and Standard VI. are passed is five years; but it must be remembered that only a little more than half of those who pass Standard I. afterwards pass Standard VI., and those who do pass the latter standard include a large number of those who have passed the earlier standards at an age below the average passed. Probably, teachers do not very often use the discretion they have of promoting pupils through more than one class in a year. It should not, however, be forgotten that just as there are some children who will take more than six years to do the work of the six standards, so also there are others who without any strain or difficulty are able to do that work in a shorter time.

In the next table the average attendance in each education district is shown in detail by a statement of the aggregate attendance at each group of schools under the classification in Table J. The number of small schools, with an average attendance not exceeding 20, has increased by 13, from 486 to 499.

TABLE J1.— Average Attendance for the Year 1902 at the Schools as grouped in Table J.

During the year 1902, 40 schools were closed — viz., in Auckland, 5; Wanganui, 1; Wellington, 6; Hawke's Bay, 2; Marlborough, 8; Nelson, 3; Westland, 3; North Canterbury, 2; South Canterbury, 1 ; Otago, 7; and Southland, 2. These were all small schools, and were closed, generally speaking, for ordinary reasons connected with movements of the population. Owing to the constitution of the new County of Bgmont out of portions of the Counties of Taranaki and Hawera, it became necessary, under " The Education Districts Act, 1882," to redefine the Education Districts of Taranaki and Wanganui. An order was accordingly made by His Excellency the Governor in Council, and the new county was thereby declared to be comprised in the District of Taranaki, in consequence of which three schools were transferred to that district which had previously been in the District of Wanganui. Public-school Teachees. In December, 1902, there were employed in the public schools of the colony 3,704 teachers ; of these, 2,957 were adults and 747 pupil-teachers: the corresponding numbers for December, 1901, were 2,668 adults and 955 pupil-teachers. Of the adult teachers at the end of 1902,1,272 were men and l,6Bsiiwere women ; of the pupil-teachers, 143 were male and 604 female. The number of adult male teachers was 50, and of adult female teachers 239, more than in December, 1901; and the number of male pupil-teachers was 41 less, and of females 167 less, than at that period. Most, in fact nearly all, of the pupil-teachers displaced have during the year received appointments as assistant teachers. The average number of children in attendance to|one teacher during the year 1902 was 30*7. ii-E 1,

TABLE K.—School Staff, December, 1902.

In addition to the teachers shown in this table several Boards employed relieving teachers whose numbers and rates of salary are given in Table 6 in the Appendix. The last column 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 practically only one district was the assistance of a pupil-teacher given when the average attendance was less than 41. Taking all schools with more than 40 pupils, there were on an average 40• 2 pupils to one adult teacher (two pupil-teachers being counted as one adult), Westland having the lowest average with 33 - 2 children per adult teacher, and Wellington the highest with 42-7. In 1901 the average for the colony was 43 - 2. In 1902 in schools with an average attendance of from 31 to 40, there were 212 adult teachers and 17 pupil-teachers, and a total average attendance of 6,904. .If these schools also are taken into account the average number of pupils per adult teacher would be 394, as against 41 - 9 in 1901. In short, the effect of the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act has been to improve the staffing of the schools by reducing the average number of children under the charge of one teacher. It is to be feared, however, that in some cases the number of children actually under the charge of a single teacher considerably exceeds the number that the Act appears to indicate. It would probably tend to greater efficiency if, subject to the conditions of classification and the suitability of the several teachers for the various classes of each school, the average number under the instruction of any teacher or teachers did not in general greatly exceed the number indicated by the scale of staffs in the Schedule to the Act, which allows not more than sixty children for each adult teacher, and not more than thirty for each pupil-teacher, or on the average not more than forty-five for each member of the staff.

Out of the total number (2,957) of adult teachers, 1,272 were men and 1,685 were women; in other words, for every 100 men engaged in teaching in the public schools there were, at the end of 1902, 132 women so engaged. Comparison with the principal Australian States and with England shows that for every 100 adult male teachers the number of adult female teachers was in New South Wales, 66 ; in Victoria, 87 ; in Queensland, 108 ; in South Australia, 186 ; and in England, 293. In the United States of America the proportion in 1901 was 247 women for every 100 men. In New Zealand, in 1892, the proportion of female teachers to male teachers was 94 of the former to 100 of the latter; so that the proportion of female teachers to male teachers has increased from 94 per cent, to 132 per cent, of the male teachers. In the same time the proportion of female teachers to male teachers in England has increased from 223 per cent, to 293 per cent. The proportion of male pupil-teachers to female pupil-teachers is given by the ratio 1 to 4-22; in 1892, the ratio was 1 to 3 - 05. It is thus seen that the substitution of women for men as teachers in primary schools is a process that has been going on for some time in various countries, although it has not yet reached in New Zealand the stage that it has reached in England and America, or even in South Australia. The operation of the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act appears to have strengthened the staffing of the schools in one important respect—namely, by reducing the proportion of pupil-teachers to adult teachers from one pupil-teacher to 2 - 79 adults in 1901 to Ito 3 - 98 in 1902; the improvement will be still more marked when the full effect of the Act is felt. Even as it is, the proportion of apprentices to adults is lower than in any of the Australian States except Tasmania, and slightly lower even than in England, although in the latter case it must be remembered that monitors have been included under the heading of pupil-teachers. The actual number of pupil-teachers engaged in New Zealand at the end of the past year was 747, or about one-fifth of the total number on the staffs of the schools. The total of all salaries and allowances at the rates paid at the end of the year was £418,564 18s. 7d. This includes the salaries and lodging-allowances of pupil-teachers, as well as all salaries, house-rent, and other allowances paid to adult teachers: the average salary per teacher (including those named) was therefore £113 os.

Finances of Education Boaeds. Table N is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Boards of Education for the year 1902. These are tabulated in detail on pages 4 and 5 of the Appendix, and the annual reports of the several Boards with their statements of receipts and expenditure in full are also given there on page 64 and following pages. The principal item showing an increase is that of teachers' salaries and allowances, £419,701 for 1902, as against =£382,061 for 1901 (which itself was a large increase on 1900 owing to the distribution in 1901 of the special sum voted by Parliament for increases to salaries under the provisions of " The Publicschool Teachers' Salaries Act, 1900"); but out of this ,£419,701 the sum of £6,742 was paid as the last instalment of the increases to salaries for 1901. The net increase over 1901 was therefore £24,156 on this head. Another item showing a considerable increase is the expenditure on manual and technical instruction, which was £11,605 for 1902, as against £7,611 for 1901. This increase would appear considerably larger if the amounts due at the end of the year and shown in the Boards' statements of liabilities were added.

As in previous years a portion of the votes"for scholarships, for district'high schools, and for manual and technical instruction, as well as most of the building vote for the year, was not received by the Boards until after the 31st December, 1902. The amounts payable thereunder to the several Boards are, however, included in the assets of the Boards shown in Table O. Tables 0 and P show the financial position, as regards the General and Building Accounts respectively, on the 31st December, 1902; for the purpose of comparison the deficits and balances on 31st December, 1901, are also given. In order to make clear the statement of assets and liabilities in the General Account the following explanation, given in the last two annual reports, is reproduced here:— In Table 0 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 dii not appear in the cash balances no corresponding liabilities would arise. At the close of the year 1902 seven out of the thirteen Boards had deficits on their General Aocount, amounting altogether to £6,211; at the end of 1901 nine Boards had deficits, amounting in all to ,£9,571 ; the total deficits have therefore been decreased by £3,360. Six Boards had balances on 31st December, 1902, amounting in the aggregate to £6,840, as against four Boards whose accounts were in credit in December, 1901, with a total balance of £5,923, the increase in the credit balances being thus £917. The total amount of improvement during the year was therefore £4,277. The Boards that improved their position on the General Account during the year were nine in number: Wellington, which reduced its deficit from £4,549 to £2,762, shows the greatest improvement, while Auckland, which increased its balance from £2,203 to £3,092, comes next. The position of the North Canterbury Board was almost stationary during the year; that of Grey and South Canterbury changed slightly for the worse; and Hawke's Bay's balance was diminished from £2,855 to £1,678 —£1,000 of the difference, however, being caused by a transfer of that amount from the General Account to the Building Fund. On the Building Account ten out of the thirteen Boards were in credit on the 31st December, 1902 ; of these, five Boards showed balances that in a greater or less degree were smaller than those shown twelve months previously, while three (Hawke's Bay, North Canterbury, and South Canterbury) had increased their balances, and the other two —namely, Marlborough and Grey—had changed small deficits into substantial balances. Of the three Boards that exhibited, deficits on their building account Wellington calls for the most remark, as it increased its net liability from £604 to £7,651 ; in the case of Otago, a deficiency of £456 takes the place of a credit balance of £1,491; on the other hand, Auckland reduced its deficit from £3,587 to £1,012. To sum up, the total deficits of the three last-named Boards on the Building Account at the close of 1902 amount to £9,119, as against £4,526 in December, 1901. The total balances of the Boards that were in credit on the same account were, on the 31st December of last year, £18,671, as against £19,248 at the corresponding date in the previous year. The net balance of all the Boards on

E.—l.

the Building""Account fell, therefore, during the year from ,£14,722 to £9,552, a result which is more than accounted for by the greatly increased deficiency of the Wellington Board already referred to above.

School Buildings. As was pointed out in last year's report, the expenditure on school buildings may be classed under two heads, according as the items to which the grants are devoted are recurrent or non-recurrent in character. To the class of recurrent expenditure may fairly be assigned such items as the maintenance and repairs of existing buildings and furniture, the rebuilding of worn-out schools and teachers' residences, and the rent of premises used for school purposes. The new or non-recurrent expenditure includes the cost of building new schools and of additions to existing schools, where such new schools or additions are required to meet the needs of newly settled districts or of an increase of population in districts already settled ; and with such items may be reckoned also the cost of sites, where these have to be purchased, and the initial cost of fencing. The ordinary building grants to Boards are intended to cover all the items named above as recurrent, and others of a similar nature; these may again be conveniently subdivided into (a) the cost of rebuilding, and (b) all other recurrent items. If we assume that a school-building in wood, well constructed in the first instance, and kept in good repair afterwards, will last for thirtythree years, then, roughly speaking, a Board will have to rebuild, say, one-thirty-third of such buildings each year, and to enable the Board to do so it would be sufficient if it received each year a grant of 3 per cent, of the

value of all the buildings when new, or more strictly, 3 per cent, of what it would cost to re-erect them all now. Similarly, the cost of maintenance, painting, and repairs might be reckoned within close limits as a percentage of the cost of the buildings. Brick and stone buildings last longer, and generally cost less for maintenance than wooden buildings; hence the percentage to be allowed on these buildings would be lower both under (a) and (b) than in the case of wooden buildings. These principles were followed with a fair degree of approximation in the distribution of last year's ordinary building votes ; it was found, however, that the proportionate amounts so allotted did not actually differ greatly from the amounts that would have been granted to the several Boards had the former mode of distribution —namely, that based on the average attendance with certain adjustments —still been adhered to. It may be observed that if a Board exercises great care in the maintenance of its buildings, and therefore spends perhaps more than other Boards upon repainting and repairs, its buildings will, generally speaking, last longer, and it will have to spend less each year upon rebuilding. It is not to be supposed for a moment that any Education Board would intentionally or consciously neglect its buildings ; but it is obvious that if the cost of rebuilding schools were met out of special direct grants in each case, and if the cost of maintenance only were met out of the ordinary building grants, then the more careful and prudent a Board was in regard to the upkeep of its buildings the worse would be its position in the matter of its ordinary building fund. In other words, maintenance and rebuilding ought from prudential reasons both to be met out of the same fund. The distribution of the ordinary votes for school buildings was made as follows: Auckland, .£9,950 ; Taranaki, £1,750; Wanganui, £4,200; Wellington, £5,300; Hawke's Bay, £2,700; Marlborough, £950; Nelson, £2,250; Grey, £850; Westland, £800 ; North Canterbury, £6,300 ; South Canterbury, £1,900 ; Otago, £6,500 ; Southland, £3,550 : total, £47,000. The special vote for school buildings was expended in grants intended to meet the cost (i.) of schools in newly settled districts, and (ii.) of the additional accommodation rendered necessary by marked increase of population in other districts. The vote was distributed as follows: Auckland, £2,339 ss. ; Wanganui, £1,195 19s. 10d. ; Nelson, £254 10s.; Grey, £200 ; Westland, £287 ; North Canterbury, £453 2s. 4d. ; South Canterbury, £.250; Otago, £1,639; Southland, £360 Bs. 6d. : total, £6,979 6s. 7d. These payments do not represent all the authorities for expenditure, but only so much of them as the completion of the buildings enabled the Boards to claim. The same rule of not making grants for teachers' residences was followed as in former years. The provision for house-allowance under the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act would in general prevent this rule from operatingbar shly. For the purpose of replacing schools and school property destroyed by fire £5 10s. was paid to the Wanganui Board, £5,746 3s. 7d. to Wellington, £067 os. 9d. to Hawke's Bay, £5 to Nelson, £30 to Westland, £195 to Otago, and £10 to Southland : total, £6,358 14s. 4d. The principles involved in such payments are not, perhaps, quite so clear as those that form the basis of the ordinary building grants. Government buildings in New Zealand are not insured in the ordinary sense, and although publicschool buildings are not directly the property of the Government, but of the several Education Boards, yet the Government has agreed to make special grants to the Boards for the purpose either of enabling them or of assisting them to replace such buildings if destroyed by fire. Now, it is evident that if it were considered that the Government, in respect of such buildings, simply took the place of an insurance company, then in each case the amount paid would be the actual value of the buildings at the time they were destroyed, or the amount to which their original value had been reduced by writing-down in accordance with the deterioriation due to age, &c. Or, to take an example :If a school were burnt down when quite new, the whole cost of rebuilding would be met by a special grant; if the school were so decayed as to be no longer fit for use, then,

E.—l.

if it were burnt down, nothing shoxild be paid by Government, for the Board would in any case have been bound to rebuild it out of its ordinary building grant; or, again, if half the usual life of the building had expired when it was destroyed by fire, then, as no sinking fund is made for each school, but a certain percentage of the schools are rebuilt out of each year's ordinary grant, it may be said approximately that half the cost of rebuilding should be borne by the Government and half by the ordinary building grant of the Board; for otherwise in every case of a school so destroyed the ordinary building fund of the Board would be relieved to a corresponding extent. If in the last case the Government paid the whole cost of reinstatement, then the ordinary annual building grants should be reduced proportionately until the Board was in the same position as it would have been if no fire had occurred. The practical difficulty that would be experienced in attempting to carry out such a method of payments on account of schools destroyed by fire would be very great, inasmuch as no valuation of the public-school buildings of the colony on a fixed general basis has ever yet been made. At present, therefore, all that can be done is to treat each case as far as possible on its merits. In Table Q will be found figures in reference to the deficiency of school buildings, schools with less than nine pupils in average attendance being omitted. Out of 1,650 schools 109 were being carried on in buildings not belonging to Boards, whilst in 1901 there were 105 out of 1,613. The number of schools without residences increased from 542 to 568. Allowing 10 square feet per unit of average attendance, 34* schools werejovercrowded. Additions to the buildings made since the close of the year have slightly reduced this number.

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

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. For general information it may be as well to repeat here what was said in the last report in reference to this matter: — 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 such 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 ft. 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.

Training op Teachers. Out of the vote for the training of teachers £500 was paid, as in the three previous years, for each of the normal schools at Christchurch and Dunedin. An extra £500 was taken for the purpose of enabling work of the same kind to be begun at Auckland and Wellington; but this amount was not expended, as it was thought that the matter required further consideration. The salaries and allowances of the students in training at the Christchurch and Dunedin Normal Schools and at the Napier Training School were met out of the teachers' salaries vote under the second proviso to section 3 of " The Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," which allows the Minister until the 31st December, 1903, to sanction modifications in tbe staffing of schools. This arrangement must come to an end at the close of the present year ; so that, unless special provision is made, it will be impossible, not only to establish fresh training-colleges at Auckland and Wellington, but even to continue those that are already in operation. There is no doubt that the training of our teachers is one of the most important questions calling for action at the present time. The reform of the syllabus will have very little practical effect unless those who are to carry it out receive the best training that the colony can afford to give them, and the introduction of manual training, which is in its essence far more a change of the methods of teaching than of the subject-matter of instruction, will fail in its purpose unless the teachers themselves are trained in the principles that underlie these modern ideas. Such training they can receive only at properly equipped training-colleges, to which shall be admitted not merely a small fraction of the future staffs of the schools, but as nearly as possible all individuals who are destined to take part in the management of our schools, primary and secondary alike. As far as manual subjects are concerned, provision has been made to a certain extent for the training of teachers therein by special grants to the Boards for that purpose, by grants of apparatus and material to teachers' classes, and by the concession of free railway passes to teachers attending any trainingclasses approved by the Education Board of their district. The grants so given have no doubt been usefully employed by all or most of the Boards; but it is obvious that instruction of this kind would be more complete and effective if given at a training-college, where it would be given by masters thoroughly acquainted with their subject and with the best methods of dealing with it in the schools, and where the relation of manual instruction to the whole school course could be most fully kept in view. Military 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 100,280. The term " drill" here must be taken to include physical and disciplinary exercises. The report of the Officer Commanding the Public-school Cadets forms an Appendix (E.-1d) to this report. There were on the 30th June, 1903, 182 cadet corps, with a strength of 9,092 members. Some of them had carbines or similar arms obtained from the Defence Department, but generally they were equipped with the " model rifles" (dummies) which have been imported by the Department for purposes of drill, and with a percentage of miniature Martini-Henry rifles for target practice. The number of cadet companies in the several districts was as follows : Axickland, 37; Taranaki, 6; Wanganui, 13 ; Wellington, 29 ; Hawke's Bay, 25 ; Marlborough, 4 ; Nelson, 7 ; Grey, 3; Westland, 3; North Canterbury, 13; South Canterbury, 6; Otago, 30; Southland, 6. The number of models on issue to the Boards at the end of the year was 8,739, and of miniature rifles 674.

For the past three years facilities have been given to teachers to attend classes for instruction in drill, the Department paying rail fares. In September, 1902, announcement was made by advertisement of the Department's desire to obtain the services of qualified men for instruction of teachers in military drill at classes to be established in twenty-five of the larger centres of population, and by this means arrangements were subsequently made in almost all Education Districts, and in some districts at several centres, to establish these classes. The expenditure for the year was £3,754 6s. 2d., made up as follows:— Salary of Commanding Officer, Ist November, 1901, to £ a. d. £ s. d. 31st December, 1902 ... ... ... ... 350 0 0 Salaries of clerk and storeman ... ... ... 120 0 0 Travelling-expenses of Commanding Officer ... ... 49 8 7 519 8 7 Arms, accoutrements, ammunition, &c. ... ... 2,486 1 7 Less recoveries ... ... ... ... 5666 2,429 15 1 Travelling-expenses of cadets ... ... ... 0 18 0 Contingencies ... ... ... ... ... 13 10 3 2,444 3 4 Advertising for services of Instructors ... ... 30 9 0 Eailway fares of Instructors ... ... ... 22 0 1 Eailway fares of Teachers attending instruction-classes 738 5 2 790 14 3 Total ... £3,754 6 2 Eailway Passes, etc., foe School-childeen. In 1902 £3,250, made up as follows, was paid for conveyance of schoolchildren, viz.:—Eailway fares of pupils attending public schools, £1,860; of pupils attending private schools, £938 10s.; of pupils attending district high schools, £121 10s.; and of pupils attending secondary schools, £262 10s.: total, £3,182 10s. Grant to Otago Education Board for conveyance of children by road, £67 10s. Total, £3,250. Chatham Islands. In the Chatham Islands during 1902 there were altogether five teachers engaged in giving instruction. The principal school, Te One, was under a master and mistress. An assistant had the charge of two small half-time schools in the south part of the main island, and instruction was given at four centres in the north by an itinerant teacher. The other teacher had charge of a small school of ten on Pitt Island. The total number on the roll of the schools at the end of 1902 was 100. The average attendance was 85 - 25. This shows a satisfactory increase on the previous year's average —70. The total expenditure was £542 13s. lid., made up as follows:—Salaries and allowances of teachers, £395 9s. 3d.; school furniture, requisites, &c, £100 18s. Id.; passage-money of teachers and families, £11 10s.; inspection, £34 16s. 7d. Prior to 1902, these schools were all classed as Native schools, and were conducted under the regulations of the Native School Code. A change has now taken place and the schools are classed as public schools ; the subjects of instruction are those of the public schools, and the teachers, with the exception of the head-teacher of Te One, are paid at colonial-scale rates. It is proposed to place all these teachers upon the same basis at the end of this year. Considerable interest in educational matters is still maintained by the people of the Islands. The attendance at the principal school, Te One, increased in 1902 so as to warrant the appointment of a mistress. Upon her resignation, two of the girls who had passed Standard VI. at the school were appointed pupilteachers. This arrangement promises success, and may possibly diminish the difficulty experienced in obtaining competent teachers for these isolated places.

The schools were examined in January of this year (1903). The Inspector's reports show that under the new conditions considerable progress has been made, and that the children are receiving, as far as possible, similar training and tuition to that given to children in our New Zealand schools. The first examination for the Chatham Islands scholarship proposed last year was held in January this year. This scholarship, which is offered every two years, is of the value of £40 per annum, and is tenable for three years. The first scholarship was awarded to Douglas Seymour, of Te One School, who is now attending Nelson College. The next scholarship examination will be held at the end of 1904. Education Reserves.

The payments made to Education Boards out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1902 amounted to £43,325 19s. 4d. The revenues of the Boards are not, however, increased thereby, as equal amounts are deducted from the grants for teachers' salaries due to the Boards. The payments for secondary education from reserves under the control of the School Commissioners amounted to £4,048 12s. Id. The payments for primary education were distributed amongst the several Education Boards, as follows : Auckland, £2,625; Taranaki, £1,757 7s. 2d.; Wanganui, £2,140 19s. Id.; Wellington, £2,401 13s. 9d.; Hawke's Bay, £3,075; Marlborough, £150; Nelson, £635 45.; Grey, £88; North Canterbury, £13,382 18s. 5d.; South Canterbury, £3,143 17s. 7d.; Otago, £9,863 12s. 3d.; Southland, £4,062 7s. Id. Native Schools. At the beginning of the year 1902 there were 99 Maori schools of various kinds; at the end of that year the number was 107. The total number of schools has thus been increased by eight. In the course of the year nine schools had been opened or reopened, and one had been closed. Among the 107 schools above referred to were four boarding institutions and four other schools that the Department has been asked to inspect and examine. These eight schools being deducted from the total; there were available for work 99 Native village schools at the end of 1902, as against 91 at the end of 1901. Of course, neither this enumeration nor any other in this report takes account of the Maoris attending schools under the Boards, where the education is in the main identical with that given to European children. Of the eight new schools opened in the course of 1902 it may be said that they all, with one seeming exception, break new ground. That exception is the school at Whakarewarewa; but even this school has not really been esta blished on ground already taken up. Any one who visits Whakarewarewa to-day and carefully observes the children attending it, taking full account of the birth and inherited tendency of such pupils, and of the nature of their home training, will at once perceive that an ordinary Board school is not the place for them. About the other new schools there can be no doubt; they are all on what is really or virtually unoccupied territory, although it is possible that one or two of the schools will soon be surrounded by European dwellings. Of this kind is the Hauaroa School, near Taumarunui, far up the Wanganui River. When the question of establishing a school there was first raised there seemed little chance of there being any European settlement near at hand; now, population is fast increasing, and a railway is within easy reach. Te Kerepehi, in the Thames district, is remote; the moderate-sized school there is likely to do good work. Eangiawhia, in the far North, is the scene of an interesting experiment, which is successful and likely to continue so ; the school is Maori through and through, even to the teachers, who appear to be taking up the work without much difficulty, and to require only practice. Parawera has an interesting school also; it is not very far from the scene of the famous battle of Orakau, in which Rewi, the Maniapoto chieftain, expressed his determination to fight "for ever and ever." Takahiwai School takes up new ground near Point Marsden, Whangarei Harbour. Tangoio, some miles fromPetane, also has a new school. The remaining school is at Whangara, near a small coastal projection of that name between Gisborne and Tolago Bay. This is many miles from other schools. After a rather poor beginning, it is doing very fairly well, It seems that if all the Maoris connected with the district would remain at or near their own homes there could be a large school there, but Gisborne, less than twenty miles away, has an unsettling influence on them. The scheme for the establishment of a model Maori-school village has advanced several stages since the date of last year's report. The settlement of preliminaries in regard to the land took rather more time than was anticipated; but the site given by the Maoris has now been surveyed and formally handed over to the Department. A technical instructor has been appointed who, with the help of the Maoris, youths and adults, has put up a carpenter's workshop,

B.—l

and will proceed in like manner to erect the cottages, on the twenty sections into which the land has been divided, as occupants are ready for them. The Government has undertaken to find the timber and other material for the cottages, which will be occupied by Maori couples, one or both of whom have been pupils in a Native school. It is proposed that the tenants should conform to a few simple rules, the object being to lead them to acquire the art of living in European fashion. One of the most important features of the scheme is to give them such industrial training as may enable them to maintain themselves at a reasonable standard of comfort, and render the settlement self-supporting. Of the 107 schools specially established for Maori education, four are board-ing-schools : at Te Aute College, Hawke's Bay; St. Stephen's, Parnell, Auckland; St. Joseph's Convent, Napier; and Hukarere, Napier, a Protestant girls' school. These are made use of as boarding-schools for children who have distinguished themselves at the Native village schools. Four other schools belong to religious bodies; the managers of these schools have applied to the Department to examine and inspect them. The staff of the village schools included 76 masters, 20 headmistresses, 84 assistants, and 11 sewing-teachers. The masters received salaries ranging from £271 2s. 6d. to £93 13s. 4d. ; headmistresses, from £192 2s. sd. to £55 10s.; assistants, from £50 to £7 18s. 3d. ; sewing-teachers, from £18 15s. The reason why some of the assistants receive very low salaries is that they are in every case members of a teacher's family, who find it worth their while to give assistance in school for limited portions of the week. Particulars concerning average attendance, race of pupils, success of individual schools, &c, are, as usual, given in Mr. Pope's report. It is not necessary to write at length with reference to these statistics. It will be sufficient to call attention to a few features of greater or less importance and interest. Bound numbers being taken, the expenditure for the year was £26,946, including £5,594 expended on new buildings, with fencing, furniture, &c, £102 paid out of funds arising from Native reserves, and £46 from other funds for Native purposes. Deducting the amount of the last three items (£5,742), the ordinary expenditure for general purposes was £21,204. The corresponding expenditure for the previous year was £18,925. The increase, therefore, is £2,279. These two amounts —£21,204 and £18,925 —for the years 1902 and 1901, however, do not correctly represent the actual cost of Native village-school education, seeing that they involve numerous items of expenditure that are the results of successful village - school education, and external adjuncts to it, rather than part of the cost of it. Such are expenditure on boarding-school fees and apprenticeship charges, travelling expenses of scholars to boarding-schools, scholarships to universities, nursing scholarships at hospitals, technical instruction, and buildings connected with it ; also charges in connection with the Canterbury Exbibition : on the whole, very nearly £2,900. However, the numbers £21,204 and £18,925 best serve the purpose of a cost per head as based on the average attendance, if it is remembered that the cost per head so arrived at is about 14 per cent, too high. The average attendance for the year 1901 was 2,592-25. For 1902 it was 3,005. What may be called the gross cost per head, then, is about £7 - 3 for 1901 and about £7 for 1902. The true cost per head for 1902 would be about £6 os. sd. For 1901 it would be not very far from £6 ss. The cost per head in 1902 is therefore some 4s. 6d. less than it was in the previous year. Perfect exactness is not obtainable in this calculation, seeing that the items of expenditure in the two years are only analogous, not identical in character. One of the most interesting items in the Inspector's report is the statement of the fact that in the year 1880 the race of the children attending Native schools could be represented by the following percentages : Maoris, 76 - 46 ; half-castes, 9-61 ; Europeans, 13-93. For 1902 the corresponding figures are: Maoris, 8P32 ; half-castes, 898; Europeans, 9-7. These figures, of course, indicate that Native school work is becoming more specialised than it was; that, in fact, the work of educating the Maoris is being grappled with more strenuously as time goes on.

The summary account given in the Inspector's Table 10, of the higher work done by ex-pupils of Native village schools, is also interesting; it shows that the Department does not lose sight of its more promising pupils when they have completed their village-school course. It is not necessary to reproduce here the information given in the Inspector's report. Industrial Schools. In December, 1902, the total number on the books of all the industrial schools was 1,847, or 84 more than at the close of the year 1901. On the books of the Government industrial schools there were 1,286, an increase of 61 over the corresponding number for 1901; on the books of the private industrial schools there were 561, or 23 more than at the end of the previous year. The number in residence at Government schools was 283, and at private industrial schools 327, so that 610 was the total number of "inmates" actually in residence. The number boarded out was 441, one being from a private school and the rest from Government schools. There were 24 girls maintained in various corrective institutions, 11 boys and girls in orphan homes, 1 boy at the Blind Institute, Auckland, and 2 at the School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner. The total number of inmates dependent on the schools for maintenance was therefore I,oBc, or 2 less than the number at the end of 1901. The remaining 758, 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, 176; at service, 518; in hospital, 3; in lunatic asylum, 4; in the Costley Training Institution, Auckland, on probation, 1; in other institutions without payment, 12 ; in gaol, 5 ; absent without leave, 39—namely, 23 from service and 16 from the schools. There were six Government industrial schools in existence in 1902, and the numbers of inmates on their books at the end of the year were as follows: Auckland, 106; Eeceiving Home, Wellington, 100; Eeceiving Home, Christchurch, 228; Burnham, 271; Te Oranga Home, 50; Caversham, 531: total, 1,286. Those belonging to private industrial schools were distributed as follows : St. Mary's, Auckland, 134; St. Joseph's, Wellington, 79; St. Mary's, Nelson, 314; St. Vincent de Paul's, Dunedin, 34 : total, 561.

TABLE S.—Inmates, 1901 and 1902.

The term " industrial schools " includes institutions which, although all are "industrial schools" in the meaning of the Act of 1882, are in reality very different in character. First there are the two reformatories —one for boys at Burnham, and the other, Te Oranga Home, near Christchurch, for girls. At Burnham there are many who, if they had not been sent there, would probably have been waifs whose liberty would be periodically restricted ; but where they are they are regularly trained in

farming, gardening, poultry-keeping, dairy-work, carpentry, bootmaking, or tailoring, and have every chance of being reformed in character. No boys are sent to Burnham who are merely destitute, or who need only some degree of careful control to make them like ordinary boys living in good homes. The institution is reserved for those who, from hereditary taint, or more frequently through the neglect or vice of their parents, or from both causes combined, have fallen into vicious ways. The process of reclamation in such cases is necessarily a slow one, and requires intelligence, patience, and sleepless vigilance on the part of those who are to carry it out. Classification of the inmates is an important feature of the work, and an essential element in its success. The boys are accordingly divided into three main classes, although it has been found desirable to make a separate subdivision for certain individuals who show signs of serious moral degeneracy. Promotion from a lower to a higher class is made to depend principally upon two factors— good conduct and diligence in school and in learning a trade. Those in the first and second classes receive small payments as pocket-money, besides other privileges, and any boy in the first class who earns more than the cost of his maintenance may have 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 period of probation under conditions of partial liberty is a valuable means of fitting them for fuller freedom and responsibility when they leave the school. Those in the workshops and on the farm receive sufficient training to enable them to earn their own living afterwards, and in many cases they can step at once into as good situations as any other boys of the same age. It should be remembered that a training that shall do this is even more necessary in their case than in that of a boy whose parents are able and disposed to direct him in the first years of manhood, for the latter has both heredity and environment to assist his own voluntary efforts, whereas the reformatory boy can have a fair chance of an honest and respectable career only by being well equipped for the struggle of life. It has been stated from the Bench that in the absence of means of detaining boys committed to this reformatory, there is no option but to send them to gaol. This can no longer be said, as the large labour-yard that has just been erected at Burnham will enable close supervision to be exercised over boys of the worst class whilst they are engaged on useful work, and will almost certainly lessen the chances of absconding, without the necessity for having recourse to a larger amount of corporal punishment or of detention in cells. The cases of moral and mental degeneracy that form a certain proportion of the inmates of the school present some most difficult problems that have been the subject of careful and anxious thought to the manager, the medical officer, and the Department. Further allusion is made to them in the report of the Inspector-General of Schools. (E.—3.) Te Oranga Home is a reformatory for girls, and to some extent, as regards classification and training, the general principles guiding its management resemble those underlying the conduct of Burnham. Differences of an important nature are found, however, in the problems that present themselves for solution at the two institutions, inasmuch as the errors that form the grounds of admission, the occupations that are open to girls, and the dangers that await them when they leave the school are widely different from the same elements in the case of boys. The addition of a new wing at Te Oranga will aid greatly in the ease with which classification can be carried out. The principal occupations that are being taught are, first, those that will train the inmates in all kinds of domestic duties—cooking, sewing, laundry-work, the care of the house, &g. —and secondly, such occupations as could be taken up afterwards by women —light gardening, dairy-work, and poultry-keeping. It is hoped in time to add others to these. The second class of institutions named " industrial schools " are industrial schools properly so called. At present two of these are Government schools,

XXIV

E.—l

one being situated in the Mount Albert district, near Auckland, and the other at Caversham ; but a third is in process of erection at Horowhenua, near Levin. The last is intended to be the industrial school for boys for the colony ; and the boys, who are now in very crowded and unsuitable quarters at Caversham, will be brought to Horowhenua as soon as the new buildings are completed. These will consist in part of a main building with dining-room, assembly-room, and dormitories in which those boys will be accommodated who need a somewhat greater degree of control than the rest, and in part of cottage-homes under the charge of married attendants; each home having fourteen or sixteen boys in it. The inmates, who, it is estimated, will number about one hundred and twenty in all, will dine together in the main building, and will attend the day-school, which, with the workshop, dairy, and farm buildings, will be situated not far from the main building. The land, which, fortunately, unlike the land at Burnham, is of excellent quality, will give full opportunity for a complete training in all country pursuits, and it is anticipated that the produce will contribute no small share towards the cost of maintenance of the institution. The Caversham School will then become, as the Auckland School is now, an industrial school of moderate size for girls only; but these schools will in addition serve the same function as the receiving-homes, which form the third kind of institutions classed as "industrial schools." There are two " receiving-homes " proper—one at Wellington and one at Christchurch. They receive girls or young boys who, having been 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 immediately or 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 there are sent to Burnham, which is a reformatory for boys, orphan children (who should go to a receiving home till they can then be boarded out in suitable foster-homes) or boys of tender years needing merely careful control such as they would get in an industrial school proper, or even girls, who, according to circumstances, should be boarded out, sent to the Caversham School or to that at Mount Albert, or, if they appear to be of vicious habits or disposition, to Te Oranga. There are four private industrial schools—namely, (1) St. Mary's, Auckland, with two branches —one for boys at Takapuna, the other, for girls, at Ponsonby ; (2) St. Joseph's, Wellington, for girls only ; (3) St. Mary's, Nelson, with a branch for boys at Stoke, and a branch for girls and very young boys at Nelson; (4) St. Vincent de Paul's, Dunedin, for girls only. The interests of boarded-out children are looked after by the managers (aided in Dunedin by an "official correspondent") at the several centres. The children are also visited monthly, or oftener, by the local lady visitors who send monthly reports on all the inmates under their charge to the managers. Inmates from Government industrial schools licensed to service, or with friends, are visited by the managers. It is to be regretted that the managers of private industrial schools have not so far seen their way to carry out, except in a very casual manner, so excellent a plan. Three officers of the Department act as Inspectors of Industrial Schools ; one of them is also chief clerk in charge of this important branch, and the other two also carry out, with another officer specially appointed for the purpose, the work of making a regular visitation of all the boarded-out children and such of the inmates placed at service and with friends as the managers have been unable to visit within a recent period. They also investigate any case in which the Department desires a special report. The lastappointed Inspector is a lady, and her work is especially useful in connection with boarded-out children and girls placed out at service. It may be as well to repeat here, for general information, the summary that was given in last year's report of the regulations gazetted:— 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.

B.—l

XXV

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. Pull 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, 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 defined, the effect is not to make any very great difference. 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 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 to 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 160 inmates who during the year 1902 ceased to be under the control of the schools, 98 were discharged by warrant, 32 attained twenty-one years of age, 10 were transferred to the Costley Training Institution, 3 were married, and 17 died. The number of deaths (17) was very high. The medical certificates show that of the 5 inmates who were in residence at the time of death, 2 died of pneumonia, 1 of diabetes, 1 of paralysis, and 1 of diarrhoea complicated with hernia. Six boarded-out children died—of measles 4, spina bifida 1, and abscess psoas 1 respectively. One child died in a lunatic asylum from epilepsy, 1, who was at service, died of cerebral tumour, and there were 4 deaths in hospital— 1 from phthisis, 1 from tubercular meningitis, 1 from cardiac disease, and 1 from the effects of an accident in the bootmaker's shop at the Burnham School. The number of admissions during the year (244) shows an increase of 47 over the number for 1901. Of these 43 were sent from Dunedin, 46 from Wellington, 52 from Auckland, and 18 from Christchurch. Of the remaining 85 children, no one town or country district sent more than 12 to the schools. From information taken from t?ie Magistrates' orders it is found that the religious denominations in which the children who were admitted are to be brought up are: Church of England, 115; Roman Catholic, 85; Presbyterian, 29; Methodist, 11 ; Baptist, 1; Church of Christ, 1; Protestant, 1 ; Plymouth Brethren, 1.

TABLE T.—Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1902.

At the end of 1902 there was in the Post-Offi.ee Savings-Bank on account of the earnings of inmates of Government industrial schools a sum of .£11,581 9s. 4d., and on account of inmates of private industrial schools £2,821 16s. Id. For inmates of Government schools a sum of £1,218 os. 2d. was withdrawn during the year, and for inmates of private schools £129 19s. sd. In -Table U 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. Owing to the increased cost of living it has been found necessary to raise the rates of payment to foster-parents : for children under twelve years of age seven shillings a week is now paid, and for those between twelve and fourteen years 6s. is the rate.

TABLE U.—Expenditure on Government Schools, 1902.

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

TABLE W.—Government Expenditure on Private Schools (R.C.), 1902.

The Government or the Charitable Aid Boards paid for the maintenance of the 38 children previously stated to be in corrective or other institutions or homes. The payments made by the Government were as follows: St Mary's Home, Karori, £35 145.; Levin Memorial Home, Wellington, £18 17s ; St. Mary's Home, Richmond, Christchurch, £62 18s. Id.; Mount Magdala, Christchurch, £245 145.; Female Refuge Home, Christchurch, £8. Four 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) — 3 for the whole year and 1 for nine months—the Government paying during the year £49 9s. 2d. for their maintenance. School foe Deaf-mutes. The Director's report (E.-4), amongst other remarks of an interesting character, calls attention to the fact, which is not generally understood, that persons of defective intellect cannot be treated in the institution. Training on the articulation method, by which the pupils are taught both to speak and to understand the speech of others, cannot be imparted to any individual who is not in possession of unimpaired mental capacity. Disappointment would be saved in many cases if this cardinal rule could be brought into general recognition. Another point that deserves public attention is that young persons of abnormally dull hearing, especially if they show signs of losing or ceasing to make use of whatever power of speech they may have acquired, may receive great and lasting benefit from a course of training at the school. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon parents that in the case of the deaf want of speech means want of thought, and consequently want of power to take part in the duties of life. The new building is approaching completion, and will be ready for the reception of the pupils after the midsummer vacation. Four boys and 1 girl left the school during the year, and 11 boys and 5 girls were admitted. At the end of the year the number in residence was 35 boys and 25 girls, 7 boys and 4 girls more than at the end of 1901. The expenditure on the institution for the year 1902 was : Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,506 Bs. Id.; steward, matron, and servants, £537 45.; rent, £140; housekeeping, £871 16s. 5d.; travelling-expenses (including transit of pupils), £211 os. Bd. ; school material and material for technical instruction, £12 3s. 10d. ; general maintenance of buildings and furniture, £30 Bs. lid.; clothing, £13 Bs. Bd. ; medical attendance and medicine, £40 6s. 3d. ; watersupply, £36 25.; sanitation, £16 17s. 6d. ; boarding-out of pupils, £137 2s. 6d.; extension of water-service, installation of fire-alarm system, &c, £226 15s. Id. ; new buildings, £609 12s. Bd.; sundries, £101 35.: total expenditure, £4,490 9s. 7d. Deducting recoveries, parents' contributions, £225 6s. 3d., the net expenditure was £4,265 3s. 4d. The amount expended in 1901 was £3,097 os. lid. 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 £100 10s. ; and one was under a private teacher in Auckland, to whom a fee of £20 was paid by the Department. Institute foe 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. The total amount paid on account of Government pupils during the year 1902 was

£397 10s. lid. 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 £4 7s. foi fares of the Principal and his attendant, £2 11s. for the passage of a pupil, and £21 for the separate tuition of a pupil in Christchurch; £54 9s. 6d. was recovered from parents and others. The number of Government pupils at the end of 1901 was 12 ; 1 of these left during the year 1902, and 5 boys and 2 girls were admitted; the number of such pupils at the close of last year was accordingly 18. Manual Teaining and Technical Instruction. A great advance was made during 1902 in respect to manual and technical education. The total number of recognised classes, which at the end of 1901 was 425, increased to 980 at the close of last year. Of these 566 were classes for handwork in schools, and 414 were " special," " associated," or " college classes," of which 64 were continuation-classes —that is, classes for adults or for boys and girls that have left the day-schools, in the ordinary branches of a general education, and the remaining 350 were technical classes properly so called. The total number of classes that so far are known to be in operation during the present year (1903) is about 1,800. The number of classes for handwork in the upper classes of the public schools is still small in comparison with the number of classes doing such work in the lower classes; with the introduction of the new standard syllabus shortly to be issued all excuse for this anomaly will disappear. One of the most pleasing features of the year is the increase of the number of classes in country schools and of classes for adults in small country towns. Much more might be done, especially if the agricultural associations and the local authorities generally would follow the example so well set by a few of them. The Act of 1902, it may be pointed out, by recognising Borough Councils, County Councils, and other local authorities as bodies that might join with Boards of Education, School Committees, or the governing bodies of University colleges to form technical classes, and by giving such authorities representation on the boards of managers, placed them in the same position as associations of various kinds were placed in before. There is now really nothing to prevent any district or any body of persons in a district from starting classes under the Act and securing grants sufficient to equip and carry on the classes, unless it be the comparatively small number of thoroughly competent instructors that are to be obtained. This, however, is an evil that is being gradually removed as those who have been attending training classes for teachers in these subjects become qualified. The grants to Education Boards for the instruction of teachers in manual and technical subjects, amounting in all to £1,875, were available last year as in 1901, and the amounts were paid over to all the Boards that had complied with the conditions; similar grants will be available during the present year. The revised regulations that were gazetted in December, 1902, considerably simplified the mode in which grants are obtained. Supplementary regulations, approved in June of the present year, offered grants not exceeding £5 per annum on account of each pupil admitted free to technical classes, provided such pupil had passed Standard. VI. or a higher examination. These free places are called "junior technical scholarships " ; they last for two years, and may be extended (as " senior technical scholarships") for two years more if the holders show signs of satisfactory progress. In order that the substratum on which technical education is based may be sound, it is made a condition of the tenure of the junior technical scholarships that the holders shall attend continuation classes in one or more subjects of general instruction, such as English or some other language, and arithmetic or some other branch of mathematics. It is, indeed, difficult to see what more could be done by statute or regulation to encourage manual and technical education; it is now a matter for those in the various parts of the colony to start such classes as are suited to the wants of the several districts. Some have urged that Government ought to go further and establish classes everywhere; but it is tolerably certain that to set up classes where people are not prepared to make some effort in their own behalf would result in a considerable waste of public money without any corresponding benefit. The grants for buildings and apparatus paid last year amounted to £4,997 Bs. 3d.; for material, £246 Is. Bd.; capitation, £5,604 17s. 4d. Details of these grants and of other matters, together with the special reports of the Inspector-General of Schools and the Inspectors of Technical Instruction will appear in a separate paper (E.-5).

Secondary Education. The reports of the secondary schools (subsidised or endowed) and further details in regard to scholarships and district high schools are given in a separate paper (E.-12), which also contains the special report of the Inspector-General of Schools dealing with certain matters in reference to secondary education in the colony. The income of these secondary schools for 1902 from school fees, not including fees for boarding, was about £29,242 ; from rents and interest, about .£26,746 ; from endowments administered by the School Commissioners, about £2,864. The total number of pupils on the rolls in the last term or quarter of the year was 1,903 boys and 1,169 girls.

In December, 1902, regulations were published offering to the governing bodies of secondary schools on certain conditions as to age and other qualifications grants at the rate of £(S a head for pupils admitted without payment of fees for tuition, provided that one free place was already given for each £50 of the net income from endowments. Fifteen out of the twenty-five secondary schools have so far accepted the conditions, and up to May of the present year (1903) 588 pupils were thus receiving free secondary education in these schools; •out of this number grants were being paid for 400, the remainder being those admitted at the rate of one for each £50 of such net income.

TABLE Y1.—Number of Pupils receiving Secondary Education at District High Schools at 31st December, 1902.

At the end of 1902 there were 1,426 pupils in the district high schools who, having passed Standard VI., were receiving free instruction in secondary subjects. The number of such schools, which during 1901 had increased from thirteen to twenty-one, rose to thirty-eight at the end of 1902. Scholarships. Table Z shows the number of Education Board scholarships held in December, 1902, with their tenure and annual value. The total expenditure of the Boards under this head amounted to £8,395 11s. 5d.; the total paid to the Boards for scholarship purposes by the Department was £8,197 9s. 7d.

With the increase of free places in secondary schools, the necessity of making direct provision by scholarships for enabling pupils to pay the fees for instruction will gradually disappear, and the money thus set free might very reasonably be used by the Boards to increase the number of boarding scholarships, in order that more scholars from country districts may have the advantages of secondary education. University and Colleges. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is a separate paper (E.-6). The number of graduates admitted or qualified for admission now amounts to 819 admitted and 85 qualified for admission—9o4 in all. Of the 819 admitted, 360 have the degree of B.A. alone; 21 B.Sc. alone; 23 LL.B. alone ; 3 B.Sc. in Engineering alone ; 1 M.B. alone ; 49 M.B. and Ch.B. alone ; 2 Mus. Bac. alone; 245 M.A. alone; 4 LL.I). alone; 5 M.D. alone; and 2 D.Sc. alone. The graduates upon whom degrees in more than one faculty have been conferred are : B.A. and B.Sc, 8; B.A. and LL.B., 19; 8.A., M.8., and Ch.B., 5; 8.A., B.Sc. and M.8., Ch.B., 2; B.Sc. and M.8., Ch.B., 2; M.A. and B.Sc, 30; M.A. and LL.B., 17; M.A. and D.Sc, 4; M.A. and MB., Ch.B., 4; M.A. and LL.D., 3. The number of degrees authorised to be conferred after the examinations of 1902 was 85; 8.A., 35 ; B.Sc, 9 ; LL.B., 6 ; M.B. and Ch.B., 10 ; Mus. Bac, 1; M.A. 22; LL.D., 1; M.D., 1. As appears by the Chancellor's report, the number of candidates who were examined at the usual examinations in November and December, 1902, and in January and April, 1903, in the faculties of arts, science, medicine, law, and music, and for admission to the legal profession, was 1,434. The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1902 was 864, of whom 320 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, 134 men and 52 women matriculated, and 38 men and 11 women not matriculated; at Canterbury College, 108 men and 43 women matriculated, and 14 men and 60 women not matriculated; at Auckland University College, 81 men and 33 women matriculated, and 42 men and 81 women not matriculated ; and at Victoria College, 101 men and 36 women matriculated, and 26 men and 4 women not matriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.-7, 8.-8, E.-9, and E.-10 respectively. " The Univeesity Endowment Act, 1868." The income accrued under this Act, and applicable to purposes of higher education yet to be determined by Parliament, amounted, on the 31st March, 1903, to £6,284 2s. Id., as follows : Canterbury reserves, £2,265 3s. 10d.;. Westland, £262 2s. 6d.; Taranaki, £3,756 15s. 9d. Civil Service Examinations. As usual the Civil Service Examinations were conducted this year (in January) by the Education Department simultaneously with the examination for teachers' certificates. There were 439 candidates for the Junior Civil Service Examination, and the names of 282 were published in order of merit in the Gazette of the 26th February. For the Senior Civil Service Examination there were 120 candidates, of whom 21 passed. Further particulars are given in the report of the examination (E.-la^>. Public Libraries. By a vote of last session a sum of £3,000 was again granted for subsidies to public libraries. Forms of application were sent to all libraries known to the Department, and notice was inserted in the Gazette of the 28th October, 1902. The method of distribution of the vote was the same as that adopted in the previous year, as follows: A nominal addition of £25 was made to the amount of the income of each library derived from subscriptions, donations,

E.—l.

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 the Gazette notice, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the 9th February, 1903, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 364 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 - 92 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £19 lis. to £5 ss. 7d. Some libraries supplied with the proper form failed to send in formal claims by the 31st January. 1903, the date fixed by the Gazette notice, and did not therefore participate in the vote. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows a decrease of five as compared with the number aided in the previous year. In order that the purpose intended to be served by the vote may be attained, it is made a condition for participation that the whole of the subsidy granted to each library in the previous year shall have been expended in the purchase of books. The following table shows the distribution according to education districts : —

EEPOETS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

AUCKLAND. Sm, — Auckland, March, 1903. In accordance with section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1902 : — Board.—The members in office at the beginning of the year were Messrs. L. J. Bagnall (Chairman), J. Blades, E. Hobbs, W. Lambe, S. Luke, J. D. McKenzie, N. A. McLeod, J. Muir, and J. G. Rutherford. Mr. McLeod resigned his seat in March, and Mr. P. M. Mackay was elected in May to fill the vacancy. Messrs. Blades, Luke, and Muir retired from office in August. Mr. Luke and Mr. Muir were re-elected for a further term of three years. Mr. A. R. Harris was elected in place of Mr. Blades, who did not offer himself for re-election. Mr. Muir was elected in August to succeed Mr. Bagnall as Chairman. Twenty-five meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of eight members. The finance and teachers' selection committee, consisting of four members, met twenty-six times. Schools. —There were 414 schools in operation at the end of the year, including 76 schools taught half-time. According to the departmental reckoning of every two half-time schools as one the number is 376. Most of the half-time schools receive three days' teaching in each week, an addition being made to the teacher's salary for the extra day's work. Five schools were closed owing to the withdrawal of population —viz., Mahoenui, Poro-o-tarao, Whangamata, Manukau North Head, and Fern Flat. Fifteen new schools were opened during the year —viz., Goodwood, Komokorau, Te Eau-a-moa (reopened), Kawhia, Ongarue, Te Oruru, Oparau, Whangaparaoa, Awanga and Haratonga, Whenuakite, Otoroa, Purua No. 2, Matakohe No. 2, Waiheke Hook's and Fleming's, and Tiritiri. All these schools are situated in remote districts, and all except two have less than twenty scholars in average attendance. The grading of the schools is summarised as follows: Under 21 average attendance, 104 ; from 21 to 40 average, 140 ; from 41 to 90, 75 ; from 91 to 150, 22 ; from 151 to 250, 17 ; above 250, 18 : total, 376. Tbacheks. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 815, classified as follows : Head or sole teachers, 261 male, 115 female—total, 376 ; assistant teachers, 51 male, 213 female —total, 264; pupil-teachers, 41 male, 134 female —total, 175: totals, 353 male, 462 female —total, 815. The effect of the colonial scale has been to reduce the number of pupil-teachers by seventyfive, and to increase the number of assistant teachers by sixty-eight. There are twelve schools in Grade 111. (31-40) which continue to receive the help of a pupil-teacher under authority of the proviso to the colonial scale. That help will be withdrawn at the end of this year, unless the scale shall be so altered as to provide for the employment of a pupil-teacher in schools from thirty-five to forty average attendance. These schools afforded an excellent training-ground for young teachers. Through the introduction of the scale the Board has already been compelled to give notice to eighteen teachers of the termination of their engagements; but nine of that number have been re-engaged in other positions. The operation of the scale deprives the Board of that discretionary power which has hitherto existed of retaining salaries in excess of scale under exceptional circumstances, and similarly of retaining a teacher on the staff of a school notwithstanding a temporary decrease of attendance. It may now happen that the absence of one scholar may necessitate the withdrawal of a teacher from the school. The smaller country schools in charge of male teachers, more than 120 in number, have been deprived of the small allowance hitherto available for the teaching of sewing to girls. The Board has recorded its protest against this retrenchment, which is strangely inconsistent with the evident desire to foster the extension of technical education throughout the colony. The Board took immediate action at the beginning of the year to bring the teaching staff into conformity with the colonial scale. It is gratifying to state that this was done with little or no hardship to individual teachers, and that the fullest indulgence was conceded to the Board by the Minister in regard to staff and salaries. It is also satisfactory to report that a liberal allowance has been provided by the Government for the employment of relieving-teachers. But it is feared that the regulations defining the conditions under which it becomes necessary to reduce, or permissible to increase, the staff of a school, will have a prejudical effect in some instances, as, for example, where the normal attendance is suddenly reduced by an epidemic, such as that which visited the schools of this district during the latter part of the past year, thereby bringing the " yearly average " below the minimum of the grade to which the school properly belongs. Unless this state of things shall be remedied, there will be a growing tendency to close schools directly an epidemic appears—an extreme step, which should be authorised only upon the recommendation of the District Health Officer.

E.—l,

Attendance.—The roll-number of scholars at the end of 1902 was 28,584, being an increase of less than two hundred above the number at the end of the previous year. The average attendance for the first three quarters of 1902 was 24,898, the average for the December quarter was 23,209. The School Attendance Act passed in 1901 has tended to diminish truancy; but a grave defect exists in regard to the granting of certificates of exemption. Scholaeships.—The number of district scholarships under tenure at the end of the year was 83—namely 55 junior and 28 senior. There were also twelve scholarships 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. Disteict High Schools.—The district high school scheme has been extended to seven schools—namely, Aratapu, Cambridge, Coromandel, Opotiki, Paeroa, Tauranga, Waihi. The total number of pupils receiving secondary instruction was 170 at the end of the year. The Board has experienced some difficulty in procuring qualified teachers for these schools, owing to the uncertainty of income available at the time of beginning high-school work.* Finance.—At the beginning of the year the Board entered upon a new scheme of financial operations, consequent upon the passing of the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act. The receipts from all sources amounted to the sum of £122,857 13s. 2d., and the total expenditure was £119,481 7s. 2d., leaving a cash balance of £3,376 6s. unexpended at the end of the year. The Board is intrusted with the payment of teachers' salaries according to the colonial scale from funds specially voted and paid over for that purpose. The cost of teachers' salaries and allowances in 1901 was (in this district) £3 9s. 4d. per head of average attendance. Under the colonial scale it has increased to the rate of £3 15s. 6d. per head. The yearly grant of £500 in aid of inspection has been withdrawn, and the Board has now to meet all expenses of administration out of a capitation allowance of 11s. 3d. upon the average attendance, supplemented by a fixed grant of £250 a year. This allowance has sufficed to meet the requirements of the past year. The cost per head is estimated approximately as follows: Incidental expenses of schools, ss. 3Jd. ; inspection and examination, 2s. Bd. ; management by Board, 2s. 4d. This estimate does not include the outlay incurred by the Board in the maintenance of the Auckland Technical School, which cannot yet be carried on without encroaching upon the Board's ordinary income. Buildings.—The total income on Building Fund Account was £11,838 15s. 6d., and the expenditure on buildings (including a sum of £1,504 10s. 9d. overdrawn on this account at the end of 1901) amounted to £13,062 175., leaving a balance of £1,156 18s. 6d. due to Maintenance Account at the end of the year. The claims, which have so frequently been urged, to a larger share of the grants voted by Parliament for building purposes, have been pai'tly met by the allocation of grants from the special vote for extending school accommodation in order to meet the requirements of increased population. Several urgent claims of this nature are still under the consideration of Government. Much has been done during the year to improve school properties and to renew old buildings. Seven new schools have been built, and five schools have been enlarged. One teacher's residence has been provided, and two residences have been enlarged. The Board has represented to the Minister the need of provision being made by Government to build residences in districts where no suitable accommodation exists for the teacher. It is impossible to supply this need out of the ordinary building grants, which are barely sufficient to meet the cost of repairs and renewals of the wooden structures in this district. Technical Instruction.—Some progress has been made during the year in the formation of school classes. The number of such classes recognised by the Department at the end of 1902 was twelve. Now that the somewhat intricate regulations are being better understood, there seems a growing desire on the part of teachers to obtain for the scholars under their charge the benefits of technical instruction. The Auckland Technical School has been carried on with a reduced number of students, no effort having been made to extend its operations until the appointment of a Director. Seventythree applications for the position of Director were received in answer to advertisements published in England, Australia, and New Zealand. The Board was assisted in the selection by Mr. George Hogben, Secretary for Education, and by Dr. William Garnett, Secretary to the Technical Education Board of the London County Council. The result was the appointment of Mr. George George, F.1.C., F.C.S., Associate of the Merchant Venturers' Technical College, Bristol, and headmaster of the Sutherland Technical Institute and of the Longton High School, Staffordshire, England. Mr. George arrived in Auckland in October last; and he has since been engaged chiefly in making necessary preparations for enlarging the scope of work in the Technical School, organizing school classes in woodwork and cookery, and otherwise promoting the extension of technical education in this district. The Government have responded promptly to the applications made, on his recommendation, for grants for buildings and apparatus ; and there is reason to hope that his efforts will be followed by a large increase in the number of students. The question of providing means of practical instruction in agriculture is under consideration. Miscellaneous.—The coronation of His Majesty the King was celebrated by a week's extra holiday, and by the issue of coronation cards to the school-children. The number of school cadet corps has increased from twenty-seven to thirty-six. Encouragement to the movement has been given by the issue of regulations providing for a supply of miniature rifles and ammunition, and for the payment of a yearly capitation grant. A summer school for teachers was held during the Christmas holidays, and was attended by 280 teachers from town and country schools. The experiment thus made gives promise of a more successful institution in future years.

* Details of the work, attendance, &c, at these schools are shown in a separate paper.

The Board did not accept the invitation to be represented at the Conference of Education Boards which took place at Wellington in August last, believing that too short a time had elapsed since January, 1902, to form a mature judgment upon the new financial and other arrangements created by the passing of the Teachers' Salaries Act, and that any needed change or modification would of itself in due course command the attention of Government. The Department has shown every consideration in its dealings with the Board, many of the complications attached to the scheme of manual and technical classes have been removed, and the Board is encouraged to hope that the existing defects in the colonial scale may soon be remedied. The Board gratefully acknowledges the cordial co-operation of School Committees throughout the district during the past year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Jambs Muib, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sib,— 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 1902 : — The Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members:—Duncan McAllum, Esq., (Chairman), Miss Heywood, Messrs. G. Adlam, E. G. Allsworth, W. L. Kennedy, H. Paull, B. A. Hignett, J. Mackay, and James Wade. Owing to illness Mr. B. A. Hignett resigned his seat, and Mr. Arthur Morton was elected to fill the vacancy. Messrs. G. Adlam, D. McAllum, and J. Wade retired in the terms of section 15 of the Education Act. Eight candidates were nominated for the vacancies, and the voting resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Adlam and Wade, and the election of Mr. John Taylor. Mr. McAllum declined to again offer himself for re-election. Owing to illness Miss Heywood. resigned, and Mr. D. H. McDonald was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Kennedy also resigned, and Mrs. Jane E. Dougherty was elected to fill the vacancy. At the first meeting of the Board, held in August, Mr. Allsworth was elected Chairman. The Board held twelve ordinary and four special meetings during the year.

E.—i.

Schools.—The Tongaporutu School was reopened, and a new school opened at Eaupuha ; and, owing to the formation of the Bgmont County, the Awatuna, Pihama, and Te Kiri schools came under this Board from the Wanganui Board. There were seventy-three schools open at the end of the year, including two side-schools and two half-time schools; and the number of teachers employed in these schools was 130, who were graded as follows : Sole teachers, 22 female and 22 male ; head teachers, 4 female and 22 male; assistants, 32 female and 6 male ; pupil-teachers, 20 female and 2 male. Pupil-teachers. —At the annual examination 26 pupil-teachers entered, 18 of whom passed, 7 failed, and 1 retired through illness. Of the 22 pupil-teachers employed at the end of the year 20 were females and only 2 were males. The falling-off in the number of pupil-teachers and the increase in the number of assistants as compared with the report of 1901, is due to the whole of the schools being staffed according to " The Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901." Before this Act came into force the first assistance a teacher in this district received on his school attaining an average of forty-one was a pupil-teacher, now it is by the appointment of a mistress. Scholarships.—For senior scholarships there were 28 candidates, and for junior 23 candidates. Of the senior candidates 14 qualified, and of the junior 11. Senior scholarships were awarded to one pupil at the New Plymouth High School, and two at the Stratford District High School, and junior scholarships to two pupils at the Central School, and one at the Omata School. In addition to the scholarship-holders there are now twelve ex-pupils of the district schools at the New Plymouth High School, and twenty at the Stratford District High School receiving free tuition in secondary subjects. Buildings.—A new school has been erected at Waitui, and the West Infants', Inglewood, Norfolk Eoad, and Stanley Road Schools have been enlarged, and owing to the increased attendance the Tariki, Oaonui, and the Huiakama Schools require enlarging. The Board finds the present building grant is only just sufficient to keep the present schools and residences in repair without having to use it in enlarging the schools. Finance.—The income from the Board from all sources, including £1,571 10s. sd. balance on the 31st December, 1901, was £22,240 Bs. 5d., and the expenditure £20,491 15s. 5d., leaving a credit balance of £1,713 13s. Against this balance are liabilities that more than cover the same. Teachees' Classes. —During the year teachers' classes —first established in 190] —have been considerably developed, classes being held in New Plymouth for mat-weaving, modelling, paperfolding, brushwork, and first aid ; and at Stratford for modelling, paper-folding, and brushwork. It is gratifying to find that teachers very generally avail themselves of these means of improvement. Some effort should, however, be made to assist teachers who cannot avail themselves of the railway to reach the centres in which classes are held. Technical School.—Efforts have been continued throughout the year to establish a technical school, with branches at New Plymouth and Stratford. The approval of the Minister of Education has been obtained of the plans of the building proposed to be erected at Stratford, and it is hoped the building will soon be erected and classes established there. At New Plymouth the question of site is still under consideration, and it is hoped that any difficulty existing will soon be .got over, and classes established at an early date. " The Public-school Teachees' Salakies Act, 1901."—The passing of " The Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," which came into force on the Ist January, 1902, with the new scale of staffing, has resulted in a considerable number of changes in the teaching staff of this district. As shown above, the number of pupil-teachers employed has been reduced from 32 to 22, and the number of assistants increased from 19 to 38. Altogether 112 transfers and appointments have been made, mostly to meet the new conditions. The work of the Appointment Committee and their responsibilities have consequently been very much increased. On the whole, the passing of the Act has been beneficial to the teachers and the schools, and so far the numerous changes made in the district have been effected without entailing any loss to the teachers concerned. Sopeeannuation Fund. —The passing of a measure providing for the establishment of a superannuation fund is eagerly looked for by teachers, and is but an act of justice to those who have devoted their lives to the work of teaching, which will give very general satisfaction. Opaku Eeseeve.—lt is to be regretted that the Hon. the Minister of Education has not seen his way to introduce legislation to give effect to the wishes of this and the Wanganui Education Board regarding the Opaku reserve, but it is hoped that he will be able to do so during the ensuing session. The accumulated funds from this reserve now amount to £3,693 4s. 10d., and the annual rentals to £441 7s. 6d. The distribution of these moneys in scholarships cannot but be helpful to education in Taranaki. Inspection.—The increase of work in the Inspector's Department has caused the Board to decide upon the appointment of an Assistant Inspector, and Mr. W. A. Ballantyne, 8.A., has been appointed since the close of the year, and has entered upon his duties. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. E. G. Allswoeth, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sib, — Education Office, Wanganui, 31st March, 1903. . In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Wanganui Education Board for the year 1902 : — Boabd.—At the beginning of the year this Board consisted of the following members : Messrs. George 8. Bridge (Chairman), W. Corry, B. C. Eobbins, F. M. Spurdle, R. A. Adams, J. W. Baker, P. Pirani, F. Y. Lethbridge, and the Rev. John Ross. The three retiring members were Messrs. B. C. Robbins, F. Pirani, and F. Y. Lethbridge, of whom the first-named did not offer himself for re-election. Seven candidates were nominated, and the three elected were Messrs. Lethbridge, of Feilding; Pirani, of Palmerston North ; and E. Dixon, of Hawera. In July Mr. Corry resigned his seat, and Mr. W. T. Wood, of Palmerston North, was elected to fill the vacancy. One special meeting was held during the year, and twelve ordinary meetings, at which there was an average attendance of seven members. Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge continues to represent the Board as one of the Education Reserves Commissioners. Schools. —At the end of the year 1901 there were 150 schools in operation. Eight new schools were opened during the year—viz., Awahou South, Pohonui, Torere, Te Awa, Pukeokahu, Watershed Road, Mangamahu Valley, and Utuwai. In consequence of the adjustment of the boundaries of the Wanganui and Taranaki Districts, the schools at Awatuna, Pihama, and Te Kiri were, at the end of the first quarter, transferred to the Taranaki Board. The school at Huripari was not reopened after the holidays. There were, therefore, at the end of 1902, 154 schools in operation, of which five would be classed as household schools. The school at Pukeokahu is situated in the Hawke's Bay District, but, by an arrangement with the Board of that district, is under the control of this Board. Teacheks. —On the 31st December there were 320 teachers—l 44 males and 176 females—in the Board's service. The annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in June. The results were as follows : First year, none examined ; second year, 17 examined, 15 passed ; third year, 18 examined, 14 passed ; fourth year, 11 examined, 10 passed. Thirty-seven candidates for pupil-teacherships were examined, of whom ten were not recommended for appointment. School-attendance. —The number of pupils in attendance at the beginning of the year was 10,197. The average attendance for the year 1901 was 9,097, and for 1902, 9,585 ; and the number in attendance at the end of the year was 11,385. There was thus an increase for the year in the number in attendance of 1,188, and an increase in the average attendance of 488. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly roll for the year was 84'4 —that is to say, that of the 11,356 children on the school rolls, 1,771 (or more than 15 per cent.) were absent every school-day during the year. The average attendance since 1895 has been as follows: 1896, 80-4; 1897,81-4; 1898,81-9; 1899, 808; 1900, 82-1 ; 1901, 82-1; 1902, 84-4. Tbuancy.—The following figures show the work done by the Truant Officer during the year : Cases heard, 849; fines unpaid, 589; convictions without fines, 101; dismissed, 44; and withdrawn, 115.

68

E.—l.

It is so far satisfactory to see that the average percentage of attendance for 1902 is larger than that for the colony for 1901, this result being no doubt attributable to the work of the Truant Officer ; but it is noticeable that the attendance at some of the country schools is very high, while at some of the larger schools in the townships and boroughs the average attendance is so low as to be far from satisfactory. Scholarships.—At the annual examination in December, the first under the new regulations, held simultaneously at Wanganui and Palmerston North, there were 34 candidates for the senior and 19 for the junior scholarships offered for competition. Six senior and 7 junior scholarships were awarded, of which 7 were of the annual value of £40, and the remaining 6 of the annual value of £15. The senior scholarships are tenable for three and the junior for two years. All candidates who qualified—that is, gained 65 per cent, of the total marks obtainable and not less than 25 per cent, of the possible marks in each subject, but did not receive scholarships—were entitled to, juniors two years and seniors three years free tuition, the girls at the Wanganui Girls' College and the boys at the Collegiate School. Nine candidates for senior and 7 for junior scholarships qualified. Scholarship-holders who board at the Girls' College receive free tuition. Technical Schools.—The technical schools at Wanganui, Palmerston North, and Hawera continue to do good work. Pupil-teachers receive free instruction in drawing on Saturdays. Early in the year a sum of £360 was received as a grant for the erection of a science room and an art room as an addition to the Hawera District High School. Some months later the sum of £760 was promised for the erection and furnishing of the technical school at Palmerston North, for which, with the District High School, a suitable building is in course of erection. At the beginning of the year the classes which had formerly been held in connection with the Wanganui Technical School were resumed under the supervision of Mr. T. B. Strong, M.A., B.Sc, and in addition some new classes were started. The most successful of these was the book-keeping class. In connection with this a class in commercial law was formed for the benefit of those students who wished to present themselves for the examination held by the Institute of Accountants. Manual and Technical Instruction. —As \et but little has been done to take advantage of the facilities afforded by the Manual and Technical Instruction Acts for school classes. The only classes held were classes in swimming and first-aid and home nursing (Wanganui Girls'), cookery (College Street District High School, Palmerston North), and brushwork and shading (Hawera District High School). The regulations under these Acts are of such a nature as to preclude the possibility of much being done except in the largest schools of the district. District High School.—At the beginning of this year the College Street School, Palmerston North, was opened as a district high school, under Mr. W. Gray, M.A., B.Sc, formerly of the Training College, Dunedin. The school has been more successful than was anticipated, the number of qualified pupils at the end of the year being 99. The accommodation at the College Street School was not sufficient to allow the District High School classes to be taught there, and temporary provisions had to be made by hiring a hall. A grant of £800 was made during the year for the erection of a building for the District High School pupils, and it was decided to erect a .building for use as a District High School and Technical School. In August, Patea School, and in November, Bltham School, were created district high schools. With the four schools opened in 1901 there were thus, at the end of the year, seven district high schools in operation.* Buildings.—The maintenance in a state of repair of the various schools and residences throughout the district absorbed the sum of £1,257 18s. 4d., and the erection of new buildings accounted for £3,019 13s. 9d. New schools were erected at Awahou South, Livingstone, Waitohi, Moutoa, Brownlee, and Okoia. The Hawera School was practically rebuilt, at a cost of nearly £2,000, and additions were made to the schools and residences at Turakina, Auroa, Taikorea, Taihape, and Warrengate. Contracts were let for new schools at Lismore, Mataroa, and Mangamahu, and for additions to schools at Oroua Bridge, Makino Eoad, and Upper Taonui. The large amount expended at Hawera has been a heavy drain on the grant for buildings. It is a matter for regret that the demands on the Board's funds for additions and new buildings do not admit of the amount of painting being done each year which is absolutely necessary, and also that the Board is not granted a sufficient sum to enable it to build residences in the outlying parts of the district. It is of little use to erect schools in newly settled districts if teachers' residences cannot be provided. This statement is borne out by the fact that two teachers, one with a family of eight children, have had to live in whares and tents. In the opinion of the Board this unsatisfactory state of things should be remedied without further delay. The fact has to be remembered that buildings in this district are of wood, that they therefore cost more for maintenance, and that in a comparatively short time they have to be replaced. Taking all these matters into consideration, the Board is convinced that the amount granted for buildings is altogether inadequate and insufficient to enable it to maintain in proper order the buildings now in existence, and to undertake necessary additions and the erection of buildings, schools, and residences in place of those that are in some places literally decaying. Teachers' Salaries.—Now that a year has passed since the coming into force of the Publicschool Teachers' Salaries Act, the Board is in a position to judge of the advantages and disadvantages of the Act. That there are anomalies no one will deny. Only one instance, and that the most notable, need be given. The male assistant in a school, the average attendance of which does not exceed 200, receives £80 per annum, while the male assistant of a school with an average attendance of over 200 and not over 250 receives £155. For a teacher who has served an apprenticeship of three or four years and probably obtained a certificate, £80 per annum is a miserable pittance. It is little wonder that very few boys offer themselves as pupil-teachers when the salary offered is less than that paid to cadets in almost every other branch of the public service. The teachers who have benefited most by the introduction of the colonial scale are those in charge of schools with an average attendance of not less than 30. These teachers were, under the former regime, certainly underpaid. Those teachers in charge of schools with an average attendance between 30 and 70 have benefited, but not to the same extent. On the whole the salaries of the

70

teachers in this district have been raised, but the Board cannot refrain from expressing the opinion that the Act would enable the Board to discharge their functions better were more inducement in the shape of higher salaries and adequate lodging-allowance offered to boys to enter the teaching profession. The grant for relieving teachers is not, in the opinion of the Board, large enough to allow of the employment of experienced teachers, and in not a few cases teachers have had to carry on their schools unassisted, and in other cases schools have had to be closed by reason of the absence through sickness of some teachers. In many cases also teachers when absent owing to sickness lose the whole or a portion of their salary for the time they are absent. The want of elasticity in the Act undoubtedly causes an unnecessary amount of hardship. The Board was enabled late in the year to distribute among School Committees, including the Committees of aided schools, a sum of more than £420. It is proposed to make this increase permanent. The Board has by the passing of the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act been relieved of the necessity of always holding a large credit balance to provide against a decrease in its revenue which would be brought about by an epidemic of any kind. It must not be forgotten that the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act is based upon a capitation allowance of £4 instead of £3 155., and that the Board could have achieved equally good results had it received the former amount. Inspection.—During the month of August the Board received and accepted with regret the resignation of the Chief Inspector, Dr. J. Smyth, M.A., who had been chosen for the position of principal of the Training College for Teachers, Melbourne. The vacancy was offered to and accepted by Mr. William Gray, M.A., B.Sc, rector of the Palmerston North District High School. Summer School. —This report would be incomplete were mention not made of the summer school for teachers which was held during the latter part of the midsummer holidays—2oth January to 6th February. The success of the gathering, which was attended by some two hundred and fifty teachers, including several from other districts, was undoubtedly due to Dr. Smyth's organization. Physical Dbill.—The teaching of physical drill, in one or other of its forms, has now a place on the time-table of every school. The time given varies from a minimum of half an hour in the smaller schools to one hour or one hour and a half in the larger ones. Fourteen schools have cadet corps and in them the drill is according to the requirements of the Department. In each of the remaining schools, wand, club, or dumb-bell drill finds a place according to the teacher's fitness to teach one or another. The teaching, as reported on by the Inspector, is generally satisfactory. Finance. —The year opened with a credit balance of £3,314 16s. lid., and closed with a credit of £2,646 4s. 10d. Both accounts were in credit, the general to the extent of £1,325 6s. 6d. and the building £1,320 18s. 4d. There was, however, a debit balance on account of the technical schools of £512 15s. 9d. There were liabilities on the building account amounting to £5,512 19s. 2d., and assets amounting to £5,085 Is. 4d. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Geo. S. Bridge, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Wellington, 31st March, 1903. 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, 1902. Boabd.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of Messrs. J. B. Blair (Chairman), F. Bradey, A. W. Hogg, J. Kebbell, J. Eobertson, W. C. Buchanan, W. W. McCardle, E. Feist, J. Young. Mr. McCardle tendered his resignation, necessitating a special election. Five candidates were nominated for the vacancy, and Mr. Lee was elected. The three members who retired at the end of March were Messrs. W. C. Buchanan, E. Lee, and James Eoberfcson, who were re-elected. During the year twelve meetings were held. Mr. Blair was re-elected Chairman and appointed Treasurer. In July Mr. Blair, having arranged to leave the colony for six mouths, was granted leave of absence, and Mr. Bradey was appointed Acting-Chairman and Treasurer. Schools.—At the end of the year there were 151 schools under the control of the Board. Attendance. —The attendance at the end of the different quarters was —March—on roll, 15,365; average attendance, 13,134 : June—on roll, 15,225 ; average attendance, 12,690: September —on roll, 15,155 ; average attendance, 12,514 : December—on roll, 14,898 ; average attendance, 11,984. The falling-off in the average for the December quarter is accounted for by the prevalence of measles, whooping-cough, and scarlet fever. Teachees. —In making the changes necessary to bring the teaching staff in line with the provisions of the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act of 1901, the Board's Inspectors, Mr. Fleming and Mr. Bakewell, dealt most exhaustively with applicants for new positions; endeavouring, as far as practicable, to remedy inequalities by making equitable adjustments, and effecting as many promotions as the new appointments would admit of. Considerable difficulty was occasioned by the Board's regulations providing for a much larger proportion of pupil-teachers than the new scale would allow. No less than seventy pupil-teachers had to be provided with new positions as mistresses or assistants. After careful consideration, well-earned promotions were made and suitable positions found for the whole of the pupil-teachers and ex-pupil-teachers who had obtained certificates ; places were also found for all but thirteen of those who had not fully qualified. The consideration shown by the Government in allowing these pupil-teachers to be retained as excess teachers until they could be permanently appointed enabled the Board to gradually bring the whole of the teaching staff into strict compliance with the new order. But for this concession a number of experienced ex-pupil-teachers would have had to retire, at least temporarily. The attitude of School Committees in readily concurring in the selections rendered the Board's task a pleasant one, and tended to prove that their hearty co-operation can be relied upon when the interests of the service and the welfare of the children are involved. Buildings.—New schools have been completed at Mangatiti andEongokokako. Considerable additions have been made to the schools at Kaituna, Kilbirnie, Karori, andNewtown. Considerable improvements have been made to the school buildings at Dreyerton, Khandallah, Scarborough, Taita, Eketahuna, and Eintoul Street. Sites have been purchased for a school at Muritai and a new school at Wadestown. The present school at Wadestown is inadequate, and the site does not admit of building-extension. The recent subdivision of a large area of land in the locality rendered it expedient to accede to the repeated solicitations of the School Committee, and secure a site which would admit of ample accommodation, and meet the needs of increased settlement. The new site is ample in area, and will eventually occupy a good central position. At the beginning of the year the Building Account showed an overdraft of £2,191 9s. 2d. In addition to the Government grant of £5,225 to meet general expenditure, special payments amounting to £6,333 3s. 7d. were received on accsunt of buildings destroyed by fire. £38 14s. Id. was received for rents, &c. The expenditure on account of buildings amounted to £13,542 9s. 3d., made up as follows: New buildings, £329 7s. ; additions and improvements, £5,742 17s. sd. ; furniture and appliances, £533 9s. 4d.; sites, £902 8s; plans and supervision, £218 14s. 6d. ; £4,924 10s. for rebuilding the Terrace School, which was destroyed by fire ; and £891 3s. expended for rents of temporary schoolrooms. The General Account, which at the beginning of the year showed an overdraft of £5,532 75., now stands at £893 18s. 3d. according to the audited accounts ; but these figures are affected to the extent of £1,752 11s. Bd. received in December from rents of education reserves, which will be deducted from the January capitation. The account was therefore practically overdrawn to the extent of £2,646 9s. lid. at the close of the year. The total expenditure for the year was £76,319 2s. 3d. Of this amount, £42,264 14s. Bd. represented teachers' salaries and allowances, and £2,757 6s. sd. incidental expenses of schools. Contracts have been let for additions and improvements to the Petone School—practically a reconstruction of the whole building ; for an additional class-room at Worser Bay ; and for three more rooms at Brooklyn. Also for new buildings at Levin and the Hutt. To meet pressing demands the Board relies on the Government to provide special grants, leaving the ordinary building grant for expenditure on existing buildings. From the funds available the Board hopes to overtake the more pressing requirements of existing buildings and place them in creditable repair. So far the list of urgent works, submitted at the close of the year, amounting to £1,649 155., could barely be touched. Painting was undertaken at Mount Cook Infants', Newtown Infants', Kaiwarra, Porirua, Eongomai, Mauriceville West, Kaitawa, Kaitoke, and Paikakariki. The principal works to be considered during 1903 are new schools at Muritai and Epuni (since contracted for), and at the special settlement of Korokoro-Maungaraki, Mangarama, and Heatherlea. In the two last cases sites will have to be taken under the Public Works Act. Other works are new buildings at Carterton, and extensions at Pongaroa, Kereru, Makuri, Coonoor, and Shannon.

Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examinations were held at Otaki, Masterton, Pahiatua, and Wellington : 212 candidates presented themselves—l 33 in Class A, 23 in Class B, 25 in class C, and 31 in Class D. Inspection.—The annual report of the Inspectors draws attention to the small increase (17) in the number presented for. examination as against the number examined in the previous year. Reference is also made to the falling-off in the preparatory classes, and the decrease in Standards 111. and IV.—in all 316. Increases in the other standards total 333. For the last three years the numbers presented for examination are practically unchanged. Of the 140 schools examined, 96 are considered satisfactory, 31 only fair, and 13 inferior. Changes of teachers and other unfavourable conditions have affected the latter schools, and it does not necessarily follow that they are now under incompetent teachers. The pass-work in spelling and arithmetic is considered good. Attention is drawn to the urgent need for reform in the syllabus, and dealing exceptionally with teachers in charge of small schools. Apparently a large number of parents fail to appreciate their children's educational opportunities, for no less than 2,600 children are daily absent from school. It is to be feared that the indifference of parents, rather than the fault of the children, accounts for this irregularity. The Board has issued circulars pointing out the duties of Committees and teachers in this matter. Notices under the School Attendance Act have also, in some instances, been issued ; but the question has been allowed to rest there, which is much to be regretted. District High School.—Early in the year a district high school was established at Masterton. Twenty-eight pupils attended in March quarter, 35 in June, 44 in September, and 49 in December. The subjects taken are English, history, geography, science, arithmetic, algebra, and Euclid. At first the classes were carried on by Mr. A. N. Burns, B.A. In September Mr. E. T. Norris, M.A., was appointed, and later on Miss M. K. Wilson, B.A.* Dbill.—Classes for the instruction of teachers have been carried on under Mr. Poison and Mr. Dovey. Teachers have attended during the year, many coming considerable distances by train and travelling under special tickets, the cost of which is borne by the Education Department. This subject is fully dealt with in the Inspectors' report. They say : " When Sergeant-Major McDonald was in charge of the drill of the district, the Board issued a small manual of preparatory and physical drill (without apparatus), and this is still used by many teachers. Others take exercises with clubs, poles, or dumb-bells, as well as free physical exercises ; but to enable teachers to have a clearer idea of what the Act requires the Department should issue, as a guide, a model course in physical training, setting forth a minimum such as can be satisfied even in small schools. This can be supplemented by further and more varied physical training, including, where possible, systematic instruction in swimming, cricket, or other games. Leaving out the small aided schools in Grade 0, we find that physical drill is taught in 115 schools, in about fifty of which the programme is satisfactory. To give the teachers an opportunity of becoming more efficient, the Board decided to hold a class for female teachers on Saturday mornings. The credit of the organization of the military drill of the district is due to Sergeant-Major McDonald, whose valuable services were required by the Government elsewhere. The Education Department has now taken on the work for the whole colony. During the year 11 cadet corps, each with a total of not less than 48 of all ranks, representing 9 schools, and .12 detachments, each with a total of not less than 24 of all ranks, from 12 schools, were recognised by the Department. The total number of cadets of all ranks for the whole district was 1,013." Technical. —In his report of the work done by the Technical School during the year, the Director deals exhaustively with this subject, giving in detail the work of the separate classes. The new Board, substituted under the Manual and. Technical Instruction Act, has terminated the direct control of technical education by the Education Board. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. F. Bbadey, Chairman.

* Details of the work, attenaance, &c, at the school are given in a separate paper.

NELSON. Sir,— Education Office, Nelson, 30th March, 1903. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of Nelson for another year. The Board.—Again there has been no change in the constitution of the Board, the retiring members, Messrs. Baigent, Franklyn, and Maginnity, having 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, Thomas Maginnity, and Thomas John Baigent. The Board has held twenty-three meetings during the year, the average attendance at each meeting being 79. District High Schools. —The Westport District High School, though it has lost its energetic and successful secondary master by Mr. Strachan's promotion to the inspectorate, continues to do very satisfactory work, and the attendance has so largely increased as to necessitate the appointment of an assistant in the secondary division and the provision of an additional room. District high schools have been established at Motueka and Eeefton during the year ; and, judging by the number in attendance at Motueka, the school there is highly appreciated. The Eeefton District High School having been opened during the last quarter of the year, it is yet too early to say whether its usefulness will justify its establishment.* Drill. —Drill, military and physical, was taught more or less efficiently in fifty-four of our schools. Steps have been taken to introduce a definite graduated course in all the schools, and to this end special classes have been formed for the instruction of teachers. Elementary Schools. —There were 121 schools open at the end of 1901. Four new schools were opened and two closed during the year, leaving 123 in operation at the end of 1902. Attendance op Scholars. —The average weekly number on the roll during the year has been 5,697-25, during the previous year it was 5,715-75, showing a decrease of 18-50. The average attendance during the past year was 4,808-75, and during the previous year 4,733-50 —an increase of 75-25. School Buildings.—During the past year a substantial addition has been made to Hampden Street School; a room for the secondary division has been erected at Motueka ; the building of a

E.—l.

new school at Bast Takaka has been commenced, to take the place of one which, by reason of old age and decay, has become unfit for use ; and a great number of the usual grants out of the Building Fund have been made to School Committees for repairs and painting. The great reduction in the grants or allowances to School Committees, forced upon the Board by the very small capitation now received, will necessitate still more of these grants being made, as it is quite impossible for School Committees to do anything in the way of repairs and upkeep of buildings out of school funds; indeed, in a number of districts it was found almost impossible to prevail upon the householders to undertake the duties of School Committees under present financial conditions, and in three districts Commissioners had to be appointed because no School Committees could be formed. Technical Instruction —Cooking classes have been held during portions of the year in Nelson, Westport, and Eeefton, under the able management of Miss M. Tendall (diplomee of the National Training School of Cookery, London), and a considerable number of teachers have attended her Saturday classes; but, as it will be some considerable time before the teachers will be qualified to take up this subject in their regular school work, it is hoped that the present capitation will be continued after the end of the present year, so that the Board will be able to retain Miss Tendall's services, and also secure the services of other qualified teachers in the other centres of the education district. Miss Tendail found the work undertaken by her last year too great a strain on her strength, and it will be necessary to employ other teachers for the outside districts. Handwork in various forms is gradually being introduced into many of the Board's schools, modelling in plasticine being the work apparently held in most favour by the teachers. Board's Funds.—At the beginning of 1902 the Board's General Account showed a debit balance of £1,361 4s. Id., with liabilities £401 13s. At the end of the year there was a debit of £147 Is. 2d., with grants due from Government of £215 25., while the liabilities were £578 Is. 9d. There was a credit balance on Building Account of £823 2s. 4d., with £2,000 due from Government, and liabilities £810 16s. at the beginning of the year; while on the 31st December the credit balance was £1,406 10s. 9d., with a year's building grant due from Government, and the liabilities £2,319 Bs. Id. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Geo. Talbot, Chairman.

GREY. Sic,— Education Office, Greymouth, 20th March, 1903. I have the honour to submit the report of the Grey Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1902. Boabd.—ln July the three retiring members, Messrs. J. Byrne, J. Petrie, and J. McCarthy, were re-elected unopposed. The Board has thus throughout the year consisted of Messrs. J. Byrne, J. Flynn, S. E. Harris, J. Kerr, W. R. Kettle, J. McCarthy, J. Petrie, F. White, and Hon. James Marshall. During the year twelve ordinary and three special meetings have been held. Schools. —There were thirty-one schools in operation at the end of the year, this being an increase of two on the previous year. The Teremakau Settlement School was reopened in April, and the Swedes' Mill School was opened in July. Attendance.—The average attendance for the year was 1,394, this number being an increase of twenty-five on that for the preceding year. Considering that the average attendance for 1901 was ninety-two less than that for 1900, the increase, though small, is very hopeful. Teachers.—The total number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 58 (11 males and 47 females). Of these 10 were head teachers, 21 were sole teachers, 15 were assistants, and 12 were pupil-teachers. Excluding the pupil-teachers, there were 17 uncertificated teachers in the employ of the Board. At the pupil-teachers' examination held in December, 4 passed to a higher grade, 1 failed to do so, and 1 was absent. The rest have passed the necessary examinations. Scholarships.—At the annual examination there were seven candidates, and two scholarships were awarded to pupils of the country schools. Physical Dbill.— Owing to ignorance of the provisions of " The Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act, 1901," many of the teachers did not attempt to teach the subject at all. In several of the schools, notably the Greymouth District High, School, very satisfactory work was done. Now that the teachers have an opportunity of attending drill classes, which during the current year have been conducted every Saturday for upwards of three months, the subject is attempted in all the schools. Finance.—At the end of the year the General Account showed a debit balance of £5 13s. 3d., and the Building Account a credit balance of £195 7s. Id. Without explanation these figures are misleading, as to the former must be added £41 13s. 6d., the unexpended balance of a special grant for the training of teachers, which was included in the total. In December the Board received an advance of £500 on the building grant, otherwise at the end of the year there would have been a debit balance of over £300. After paying all the liabilities, the Board has but a limited amount to provide for the maintenance of buildings for the current year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. F. White, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Hokitika, 13th January, 1903. I have the honour to present the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1902. The Board. —In August Messrs Bruce, Baucke, and Michel retired, and Messrs H. L. Michel, T. W. Duff, and J. J. Clarke were elected by the School Committees. At the succeeding meeting Mr. Grimmond was reselected as Chairman, and Mr. Michel was appointed treasurer to the Board and representative on the Hokitika High School Board of Governors. Mr Grimmond was reappointed School Commissioner for the ensuing three years. During the year one special and twelve ordinary meetings were held. Peimaky Schools.—At the begining of the year thirty-five schools were in operation, Later, three household schools —Five-mile Beach, Taipo, and Waiho—were closed, while a new school was established at Kumara Junction, and the Bruce Bay school was reopened. There were, therefore thirty-four schools open at the end of the year. Attendance.—The total roll-number for the district at the end of the year was 1,121, a decrease of sixty-three as compared with that of the previous year. The average attendance was 87-9 of the average roll-number. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of the year was 52, including 8 head teachers, 25 sole teachers, 13 assistants, and 6 pupil-teachers. Of the adult teachers all, with one exception, in schools with an average attendance of twenty or more possess certificates, distributed as follows:—Bl, one; 82, one; 01, one; C 2, one; Dl, seven; D 2, three; D 4, one; D 5, one ; El, two; E2, one ; E3, two; E4, three. Secondary Education. —The secondary class connected with the Hokitika District High School has had an average roll-number of thirty-six, and thirty-four belonged to the class at the end of the year. Of this number seven were scholarship-holders, and since the Ist April the remainder attended without payment of fees under the regulations of the Education Department. A separate report is presented on the results of the examination at the end of the year.* The class receives instruction by the headmaster during about half of the ordinary school time, and an extra assistant master devotes the whole of his time to such instruction. Both masters are graduates. The grant to certain students of free secondary education reported last year has been still further extended by the provision for the free attendance at the secondary class of pupils that have passed the Sixth Standard under suitable conditions as to attendance. This arrangement and the necessary strengthening of the staff have been rendered possible, partly by the receipt of the Government capitation and partly by a substantial increase in the grant made by the Hokitika High School Board. Scholarships.—Seven scholarships were in force during the year, and all the holders attended the secondary class of the Hokitika District High School. At the examination at the end of the year there were seven candidates of whom five qualified by securing 60 per cent, of marks. The two heading the list have been awarded scholarships. Manual Instruction.—Handwork consisting of modelling in plasticine and folding and cutting exercises in paper have been introduced in all the larger schools and a number of smaller ones. This instruction has been confined in nearly every case to the preparatory classes and Standards I. and 11. The Board provided text-books for the teachers and the necessary material. To obtain a repayment of the cost, application is being made in accordance with the regulations of the Education Department. The special class for instruction in woodwork connected with the Kumara School and under the direction of Mr. G. A. Bell has continued in operation during the year, the number of pupils being eighteen. At the close of the year the Hokitika Committee made application for the establishment of a similar class in connection with the Hokitika High School, and the Board has decided to assist the Committee to obtain recognition of the class by the Education Department and to complete the other preliminary arrangements. Physical Drill.—As required by section i of " The Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act, 1901," I have to submit the following statement relating to the manner in which the requirements of the Act have been carried out: —In all schools where the teacher is qualified to give such instruction it is required by the Board that the time-tables shall arrange for the devotion of a minimum of one hour per week to this branch of the course; and the necessary material in the form of wands, dumb-bells, clubs, &c, is provided free, so that the cost of such apparatus shall form no impediment to the introduction of physical drill into any school. In the two largest schools the boys of the upper standards are formed'into cadet corps, and in addition to company drill the usual manual and extension exercises form part of the course. The girls of these classes receive regular instruction in physical exercises, and the lower classes are trained in free or other exercises. In all other schools with an average attendance exceeding twenty, also in a few of the smaller schools, physical drill with some form of apparatus forms part of the course of study. Two of these schools have also combined to form a cadet corps. In respect of household schools and certain other of the smallest schools, the teachers have not been trained in teaching or in the particular branch referred to, and it has in these cases not been found feasible to provide for physical drill. The number of schools giving such instruction, has, however, increased during the year. Finance.—The requirements in connection with the Building Fund have been unusually great, and the receipt of an advance on the vote for 1903 was necessary to make provision for urgent works and services. The receipts during the year amounted to £1,367, including the ordinary grant of £750, an advance on the following year's vote of £300, and special grants for new buildings

* This will be founa in a separate paper.

E.-l.

at Koiterangi, Kumara Junction, and Eangiriri totalling £317. The credit balance at the end of the year was £45 7s. sd. As the requirements for 1903 cannot be provided for if only the balance of the ordinary vote is available, application has been made for an additional grant. In the General Account there is a balance at the end of the year of £24 7s. 4d. ; but as there is included an unexpended balance of £105 10s. Id. from grants for the instruction of teachers, the actual position of the ordinary General Account is a debit balance of £81 2s. 9d. This is a decrease of indebtedness of £39 11s. 5cL, and if a Government grant to liquidate the debit balance existing at the time when the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act came into force can be obtained, the difficulties in connection with the administration of the General Account will be removed.

NORTH CANTERBURY. Sir, — Chrisfcehurch, 22nd April, 1903. 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, 1902 :— The Board. —The three members who retired on the 12th August, 1902, were Mr. Adams, Mr. Peryman, and Mr. Weston, of whom the latter did not offer himself for re-election. At an election held on the 28th July, Mr. Peryman, Mr. C. H. A. T. Opie and Mr. Adams were elected. At a meeting held on the 13th August Mr. Hardy was elected Chairman of the Board, and the Board placed on record its high appreciation of the long and valuable services rendered by Mr. Weston in the cause of education, and expressed its regret that he should have found it necessary to withdraw from the active work of the Board. The Board held seventeen meetings during the year. Buildings.—The total expenditure on buildings during the year was £6,046 14s. 2d., distributed among the several school districts as shown in Table No. 8. New schools were built at

77

E.—l.

Anama and Horsley Downs, and the Newland School was removed to Fairton. Additions to school buildings, rendered necessary owing to increase in attendance, were made at Mayfield, Rabbit Island, and Kaikoura Suburban: and in the case of Richmond a caretaker's house was provided. Substantial repairs and improvements were effected at Irwell, Hurunui, Willowby, Dromore, Greenpark, Lakeside, Woodend, Kaikoura Town, Southbridge, Kaiapoi Normal School, and Tinwald ; while considerable expenditure was incurred in a number of districts on the maintenance and repair of schools and teachers' houses. In previous years the Board has emphasized the need of a larger grant in order to enable it to maintain in good condition the school buildings in North Canterbury, which, being built of wood, require in the aggregate a heavy annual expenditure. The increased cost of material and the higher price of labour within the last two or three years, in many cases equal to an advance of 25 per cent., have accentuated the Board's difficulties in this direction, clearly showing that, unless the Minister is prepared to augment the Board's share of the parliamentary vote, the requirements of the district generally, and more particularly as regards the rebuilding of teachers' houses, cannot be adequately met. Maintenance. — The expenditure on teachers' salaries and allowances amounted to £57,117 16s. 2d., and the grants to School Committees, with other incidenial expenses, to £6,141 7s. Bd., making a total of £63,259 3s. lOd. On the basis of an average attendance of 16,580, the mean of the average on which payment was made, the cost per head of teachers' salaries was £3 9s. as compared with £3 6s. lOd. for the previous year ; and the cost of maintaining the schools, inclusive of incidental expenses, £3 16s. 4d. per head. Adding the lis. 3d. capitation received from the Government, and the annual grant of £250, the total cost of primary instruction during the year was approximately £4 Os. 7d. for each child in average attendance, exclusive of expenditure on buildings. The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1902 was 505. Of these 207 (128 males and 79 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge; 194 (37 males and 157 females) were assistants ; and 104 (22 males and 82 females) were pupil-teachers. Owing to the introduction of the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act a number of new positions in other education districts have been created, some of which have been filled by teachers trained in North Canterbury. This has added to the difficulty of finding teachers for the smaller country schools, a matter giving rise to some anxiety, in which connection the above-mentioned Act, so far at least as the reduction in the number of pupil-teachers is concerned, must be regarded as an experiment, the success of which is by no means assured. As compared with the previous year the roll-number on the 31st December, 1902, shows a decrease of 187. Though it would have been more satisfactory had an increase taken place, yet so small a variation surely justifies the hope that the decline which has been so marked a feature since the year 1896 has at length been arrested, and that in the near future an increasing roll-number may be recorded. Normal School.—ln the appended report of the Principal, information upon the w r ork of the training department is given. The number in training during the year was 32 ; of these, 28 were first-year students (6 males and 22 females), and 4 were of the second year (1 male and 3 females). 'On the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act coming into operation, the Board was left without the means of continuing the work of training teachers, the cost of which had previously been met out of the capitation grant provided for the maintenance of schools generally. It therefore became necessary to make an application for a special grant to meet the expenditure. It is understood that the arrangement made by the Minister—namely, a refund of the salaries and allowances actually paid —is to be continued until the end of 1903. In any scheme the Department may be preparing for the future it may confidently be expected that the good work hitherto done in the training of teachers in North Canterbury will be recognised. Though more a matter for recording in next year's report, it may be stated that, in view of the small number of students entering as ex-pupil-teachers, the Board has recently decided to admit a limited number of matriculated University students into the Normal School for a two-years course of training. Nine of such non-pupil-teacher students have been admitted since the commencement of the year. During the year there have been several important changes in the school staff, which are severally referred to in the Principal's report. The retirement of Mr. J. C. Adams, for the last ten years headmaster of the boys' department, is a distinct loss to the school; in which connection it is a matter for congratulation that, as the teachers' representative on the Board of Governors of Canterbury College, his services in the cause of education have not been lost. Scholarships.—Some slight alterations in the scholarship regulations have been agreed upon, though these did not come into operation until the present year. The advantage of a year as regards age, until now shared by all children attending schools having not more than two certificated teachers, will in its entirety be retained by pupils of sole-charge schools only; those from the other schools hitherto classed as country schools receiving six months' concession ;, while children attending schools in charge of their parents will be required to compete on the same footing as do those from town schools. It appeared to the Board that some such modification was necessary, so as to insure a more even distribution of scholarships. At the annual examination for scholarships, held on the 15th December and four following days, there were 113 candidates for the junior scholarships (57 boys and 56 girls) and 25 for those of the senior class (16 boys and 9 girls). Of the 113 candidates, 54 came from town schools and 59 from country schools. The town candidates secured four of the junior scholarships awarded, eight being gained by the country competitors, of whom seven would not have been eligible to compete but for the concession of one year as regards age. There were 11 candidates for the two Gammack Scholarships, open to candidates that obtain credit in the examination for New Zealand University Scholarships but who are not successful in obtaining one. of such scholarships.

Ibbegulab Attendance. —During the year summonses were issued with respect to 324 children, a large increase as compared with the number in the previous year. Convictions were recorded in 275 cases, and of the remaining 49, 33 were dismissed., 14 were withdrawn on production of medical certificate, while in 2 cases the children proved to be over age. Pines to the amount of £36 ss. 6d. were recovered during the year. While in most cases it is pleasing to note the Bench is now dealing with irregular attendance in a manner calculated to remind parents of their duty to their children, yet it is a regretable fact that on some occasions cases have been dismissed in a wholesale fashion, apparently quite regardless of the circumstances. Public-School Teachebs' Salaeies Act. —Since the Ist January, 1902, teachers' salaries have been paid in accordance with the new Act. To meet all ordinary expenditure incidental to the maintenance of its schools, the Board has now to rely entirely on the capitation allowance of 11s. 3d. and the annual grant of £250. As indicated in last year's report, this revenue leaves so narrow a margin for contingencies that in many ways the Board has felt itself crippled for want of funds; while the wiping-off of the £2,379 19s. Id. debit balance on the Maintenance Account is quite out of the question. Hitherto the Board has made its allowances to Committees on a more generous scale than is the case in some of the other larger education districts. The question now arises as to whether the Board is justified in a continuance of this policy, seeing that its capitation grant is neither more nor less than that of other Boards. The only logical course, and the one that would relieve the Board of serious embarrassment, is for the Government to say what proportion of the 11s. 3d. capitation grant shall be paid to Committees for incidental expenses. The preparation of salary schedules, the adjusting of salaries consequent upon changes in the school staffs, and the correspondence arising therefrom, have of necessity added to the work of the office staff. Manual and Technical Instkuction. —The subject of manual and technical instruction has occupied a prominent position during the past year. Teachers in considerable numbers have attended the Saturday classes held at Ashburton and Christchurch. Public technical classes have also been started at Ashburton and Eangiora under the management of the local Technical Committees. At the Normal School, at the School of Domestic Instruction, and at Lyttelton and Leeston technical classes have continued in operation. At the date of this report the steps taken by the Christchurch Technical Classes Association promise developments on a larger scale than has hitherto been attempted. With the substantial contributions made by the several local bodies, augmented by the Government pound-for-pound subsidy, the association is now in a position to commence technical classes with every prospect of success. In regard to school classes, some headway has been made during the year, thirty-two schools having qualified for capitation with respect to classes already held; while for the present year about eighty schools will be represented. It is satisfactory to note that the returns required are gradually assuming a less complex form. It would be a matter for additional congratulation if the Minister could see his way to still further modify the requirements of his Department. So far it has not been soundly demonstrated why instruction in manual occupations should not follow more .closely upon the lines on which ordinary primary subjects are conducted. The observance of minute detail in the matter of filling up returns, whether of particulars of classes or of work done, is no guarantee of efficiency, which is much more likely to be safeguarded by the influence of direct reports from the Board's Inspectors, or, if need be, from the Department's own officers, on the quality of the instruction given. The introduction of manual and technical instruction under the existing regulations has further added to the duties of the Board's office staff, which is now severely taxed in its efforts to keep pace with the ever-increasing work. Distbict High Schools. —Except in the case of Akaroa, the maintenance of which presented no difficulty owing to the annual grant from the local High School Board, hitherto there has been no district high school in operation in North Canterbury. But towards the close of the year, on the application of the respective Committees, steps were taken to convert the Amberley and Darfield public schools into district high schools; and at the date of this report both schools and also Kaiapoi are provided with secondary departments under specially qualified assistants. It cannot be too plainly pointed out that, having regard to its restricted funds in providing teachers for district high schools and in fixing their salaries, the Board is not in a position to exceed the grants made by the Department.* School Cadet Coeps. —The formation of cadet corps in connection with public schools has proceeded apace in North Canterbury during the past year. On the 31st December, 1902, there were twelve such corps or detachments, and two others have been established this year. The following schools have joined in the movement : Addington, Ashburton, Christchurch Bast, Christchurch West, Hampstead, Kaiapoi, Normal School, Eangiora, Eichmond, St. Albans, Southbrook, Sydenham, Waltham, and Woolston. In this connection it may not be out of place to express the Board's appreciation of the good work done by Major Loveday, the Officer Commanding School Cadets, whose efforts to arouse the enthusiasm of pupils and teachers have met with so ready a response. Physical Deill. —The manner in which the requirements of the Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act have been carried out is fully dealt with in the report of the Board's Inspectors. I have, &c, C. A. C. Haedy, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

REPORT ON NORMAL SCHOOL. The students' department opened the year with twenty-eight new students. Of these six were males and twenty-two females, one of whom was readmitted after having withdrawn in the previous year. Three second-year students were retained—viz., two females and one male, the latter of whom withdrew early in the year. One honorary student of the previous year also continued for this year. Of those who entered, three already had the full D certificate, and eight others had either partial Dor some exemptions towards D. Eleven had passed the Matriculation Examination. At the end of the year nineteen sat for Matriculation, of whom seventeen passed, including one who repeated the examina ion to secure the D certificate; and three of those who had matriculated before entering passed Canterbury College first year. At the certificate examination twenty-six were presented, either for the whole examination or for some uncompleted parts ; the nineteen who had sat for Matriculation relying partly on that examination. Of these, twenty-four found a place in the published lists of candidates who were either wholly or partially successful. One student was ill and unable to attend the examination for certificates. The examination results are, in some respects, such as to make it a matter for consideration whether the line of work that has been taken with success for a good many years had not now better be altered. Edwin Watkins, 8.A., Principal.

SOUTH CANTBEBUEY. Sib,— Timaru, 7th March, 1903. 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, 1902. The Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members : The Eev. George Barclay, J.P., Messrs. John Talbot, J.P. John Jackson, J.P., W. S. Maslin, J.P., T. C. Farnie, M.A., Sandham Gillingham, John Campbell, Daniel McCaskill, and William B.

E.—l.

Howell, J. P. (Chairman). Messrs. Campbell, McCaskill, and Howell retired in August in accordance with section 15 of "The Education Act, 1877," and section 21 of " The Education Boards' Election Act, 1900," and were all re-elected unopposed. In June there was an extraordinary vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Farnie, and out of the six candidates nominated to fill his place Mr. J. S. Butherford of Albury was elected by the members of the School Committees. In August Mr. W. B. Howell for the seventh time was elected Chairman of the Board. The Board held one special and twelve ordinary meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being seven. The Schools.—At the beginning of the year there were seventy schools in operation in the district. During the year new schools were opened at Waihaorunga and Waikakihi, and the school at Greenhills was closed, so that the number of schools at the end of the year was seventy-one. Sbcondaby Schools.—The District High Schools at Waimate and Temuka continue to attract an increasing number of secondary pupils, and are found a great benefit to the children in their neighbourhood. Geraldine, which was raised to the status of a district high school at the end of 1901, has a much greater roll-number of secondary pupils than was anticipated, there being twentyseven at the end of the year.* After much delay, the Government at the end of the year issued its regulations for free places in secondary schools, and the conditions contained therein have been accepted, and the free places granted by the Timaru High School Board ; but these regulations are considered too exclusive, and so many deserving scholars are by them debarred from gaining free secondary education, that more concesssions will be needed before the new regulations will meet with general approval. Scholaeships.—As usual the Scholarship Examination was held in December. The number of candidates showed an increase over that of last year, there being forty-six for junior and fourteen for senior scholarships Six junior and four senior scholarships were awarded, besides which two candidates gained Waimate High School Board scholarships and a number gained Timaru High School exhibitions. Teachees.—The past year has been remarkable for the unusual number of changes that have taken place in the staffs of our schools. Besides the employment of temporary teachers on numerous occasions, the Board has made no less than fifty appointments to fill vacancies during the year. It will be seen from the report of the Inspectors, that these changes have to a considerable extent interfered with the progress of the children in many of the schools affected. Although the number of vacancies has been great, the Board has generally been able to recommend competent teachers to fill them. There has, however, been a difficulty in finding teachers, for small out-of-the-way country schools and for positions of junior male assistants in the larger schools ; and when the time comes for revising the scale of salaries, an effort should be made to increase the pay of teachers in these positions. Perhaps the house allowance now given to teachers of schools over twenty in average attendance could be given also to teachers of schools under twenty. Pdpil-teacheks.—At the end of the year the Board employed twenty-four pupil-teachers classified as follows : First year—l male, 3 females; second year —no males, 7 females; third year—3 males, 1 female; fourth year—4 males, 3 females ; fifth year—no males, 2 females : total, 8 males, 16 females. The usual examination of pupil-teachers took place in July, wben eighteen pupil-teachers and nineteen candidates for pupil-teacherships presented themselves for examination. Seventeen pupil-teachers and fourteen candidates passed, while one pupil-teacher and five candidates failed. Attendance. —The average attendance for the year shows a small increase of seventeen when compared with last year, while the roll-number at the end of the year is greater by fifty-four than it was in 1901. Buildings.—The total expenditure on school buildings during the year was £2,884 15s.—for 1901 the corresponding amount was £2,490 18s. This expenditure may be classified as follows: New buildings, £1,795 12s. 3d.; repairs and improvements, £515 19s. 4d. ; furniture and appliances, £197 13s. lid.; sites, surveys, &c, £91 17s. 6d.; plans, supervision, exchanges, and bank charges, £283 12s. The amounts received from the Government during the year were £1,800 ordinary building grant and £250 special grant for a school at Waihao Downs, so that the expenditure for the year exceeded the receipts by £834 15s. Among the more important works undertaken during the year there were a new school at Waihao Downs, additions to schools at Waimataitai, Waituna Creek, and Geraldine, a new residence at Winchester, and additions to residences at Timaru South, Hazelburn, Glenavy, and Waimate. Besides these there has been the usual expenditure on painting, fencing, reflooring, renewal of plaster, and other numerous repairs. Finance.—At the end of the year there was a credit balance on the General or Maintenance Account of £1,458 3s. sd. After providing for all liabilities, however, this credit balance was reduced to £312 12s. lid., which cannot be considered more than a fair working amount. The balance-sheet will show the receipts and expenditure under the various heads. General.—The year 1902 saw the coming into force of the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, which provides for the payment of teachers' salaries by the Government. This innovation, while it has been welcomed by the great majority of our teachers, has given a great deal of extra clerical work to the office staff; but now that the initial stages are over, the necessary regulations issued, and the general working of the scheme understood, it is hoped that there will be less trouble in future. Another Act, the carrying-out of the provisions of which has given a good deal of office work, is the Manual and Technical Instruction Act. But the experience of the past two years has led the Department to make changes in both the regulations and returns that are calculated to simplify and lighten the work of both the Board's officers and teachers, and it is hoped that further simplifi-. cation will be made whenever opportunity offers.

School Drill and Physical Exercises.—Drill is taught in nearly every school in the district, and, while in a few schools more might be done to comply with the regulations of the Board, generally an honest endeavour is made by both male and female teachers to give their pupils a good physical training. This district is fortunate in having among its teachers many who have had considerable experience in the New Zealand Volunteer Forces, and in all the larger schools the boys receive a good training in both military and physical drill. In six of the schools cadet companies have been formed, and under the system now being organized by Major Loveday it is expected that the boys in these schools will receive a thorough military training. While the boys are generally receiving efficient instruction in drill the girls are not being neglected, and it is pleasing to notice in many of our schools with what zeal both girls and boys go through their various exercises with and without wands, dumb-bells, and clubs. During the year a Conference of Education Boards was held at Wellington, the South Canterbury Board being represented by the Rev. George Barclay. The Conference afforded to the delegates from the various Boards of the colony an opportunity to interchange ideas, to discuss various questions affecting education, and to bring these questions and the financial needs of the Boards under the notice of the Government. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Wμ. B. Howell, Chairman.

OTAGO. Sir, — Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1903. In accordance with the provisions of section 102 of " The Education Act, 1877," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1902 : — Board. —At the commencement of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Rev. P. B. Fraser, M.A., Messrs. James Sim, Donald Boriie, William Snow, William Nicolson, Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.E., James Mitchell, Robert Peattie, M.A., and Alexander Marshall, B.A. Messrs. Borrie, Nicholson, and Snow, the retiring members, were re-elected in August. At the first meeting of the Board in September Mr, William Snow was elected chairman.

E.—l.

The Eev. William Hewitson, 8.A., and Rev. P. B. Fraser, M.A., were appointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Donald Borrie was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr. Donald Borrie continues to represent the Board as one of the Education Reserves Commissioners. The Board held twenty-four meetings during the year. Number op Schools.—At the close of 1901 there were 218 schools in operation in the district. New schools (household) were opened at Horse Flat and Tapui, and the schools at Bendigo, Kaihiku, and Glenledi were reopened. The Pomahaka Downs, Port Molyneux, Maungawera, Eomareka, Tahora, Wanaka, Whare Flat, and Owaka Valley Schools were closed at the end of the year. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 215. Teachers.—There were 522 teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year, of whom 191 (including 14 pupil-teachers) were males and 331 (including 77 pupil-teachers) were females. The examination of candidates for employment as pupil-teachers was held in December, when 105 candidates (24 boys and 81 girls) presented themselves. Of this number 53 (14 boys and 39 girls) passed the examination, and 5 boys and 30 girls received appointments. School Attendance.—ln the number of pupils who attended at all during the year (25,250) there was, as compared with the previous year, a decrease of 100 in the Dunedin Schools, and an increase of 27 in all the other schools, making a decrease of 73 for the whole district. The figures relative to the average attendance show the following changes for the year: Dunedin schools a decrease of 10; all other schools an increase of 251; for the whole district an increase of 241. The average for the Dunedin schools is the lowest since 1879. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of average weekly roll for the four quarters was—Dunedin schools, 90; all other schools, 87-6 ; the whole district, 88-1. In 1901 the average percentage was 86-7, so that 1-3 represents the increase in regularity of attendance for the past year. Primary Education.—The Board continues to look with confidence upon the ability and conscientiousness of its teachers and Inspectors. The " general results " given in the Inspectors' report strengthen this confidence. In spite of many drawbacks, there is a high percentage of efficiency. As a protest, however, against local overgiving of school holidays, which prevents thoroughness in any education, the Board has issued the following regulation : A school shall not be deemed to have done its duty unless it has been open 420 times during an examination year, and when the number falls below 420, the cause or causes shall be stated on the examination register. Scholarships.—Twenty-three scholarships (12 senior and 11 junior) were awarded at the examinations in December. There were in all 121 competitors, 24 for the senior and 97 for the junior scholarships. In addition to the scholarships awarded, 6of the senior competitors gained sufficient marks to entitle them to free education for three years at the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools. Free education at these schools for two years is conferred on all junior competitors who, though not gaining scholarships, yet obtain at least 60 per cent, of the attainable marks ; and for this free education 12 of the junior competitors qualified. Twenty-eight junior competitors and 2 senior competitors were disqualified on account of failing to obtain at least 20 per cent, of the marks allotted to each subject. The amount expended on scholarships for the year was —Paid to scholarship-holders, £1,335 ; examination expenses, £48 7s. 2d: total, £1,383 7s. 2d. In December there were 37 pupils (18 boys and 19 girls) receiving free education at the high schools in Dunedin in connection with the scholarship scheme. District High Schools.—Under the new regulations for district high schools, the Board was called upon to prepare a scheme for the distribution of the sums earned for secondary education, and it is pleasing to be able to state that the scheme adopted by the Board has given full satisfaction to those entitled to share. Last year the Board adverted to the insufficiency of the sums earnable by these schools, and this year the Board has to point out the inadequacy of the staffs provided by the regulations. In proof of this the Board would draw the attention of the Minister to the expert evidence of the Inspectors on this subject as given by them in their report. The Board would again and specially point out to the Minister the want of completeness in the provisions for secondary education in those regulations that give it, at the Otago and Waitaki High Schools, to a limited number only of ex-Standard VI. pupils of Dunedin and Oamaru and their neighbourhoods. There are many of these pupils who cannot comply with the regulations referred to, and yet all have equal rights to have secondary education thrown open to them on the same unfettered conditions as prevail in district-high-school centres. The number of scholars receiving instruction in secondary subjects in December, 1902, was 315. All of these pupils had passed Standard VI. (172 males and 143 females). The amount paid during the year to the district high schools on account of secondary instruction was £1,417.* Truancy.—During the year the Board's Truant Officer resigned, not being able to attend to this work and the duties of another public office which he held. The Board at an increased cost engaged an officer whose whole time should be devoted to the work, which has since been carried on with much vigour and success. During the year 452 notices were posted to parents and guardians for infringements of " The School Attendance Act, 1901," 28 notices were reived on parents whose children were not attending any school, and 356 penalty summonses were issued under section 7. Under the above 356 penalty summonses, 269 convictions were obtained, 48 eases were withdrawn owing to the production of exemption certificates, 10 cases were dismissed, and 29 eases were withdrawn owing to the presiding Magistrate convicting in only one case where there were a number of informations laid against the same defendant, and asking that the other informations be withdrawn. The total amount of fines for the year was £37 16s. 6d.

* Details of the work of the various aistrict high schools are given in a separate paper.

B.—l,

Technical Insteuction.—With the Government vote for the purpose the Board was enabled to establish and continue cookery classes for teachers, and at certain centres cookery schools have been instituted for the senior girls of the public schools, pupil-teachers, and such teachers as desire further instruction. Other similar classes are being set up. In the same localities carpentry classes are also formed for boys. Thus, a solid basis of a certain amount of technical work is founded for our schools. There still remains the establishment of permanent tutoring in handwork in connection with the Training College. This the Board hopes to see accomplished during the present year. To prepare for handwork being generally taught in the schools the Board has passed a resolution to provide as soon as possible specially designed desks for infant-rooms. Eeference must here be made to the fact that the Board agreed, so far as responsibility is concerned, to take over the assets of the Dunedin Technical Classes' Association and to assist in carrying on the classes as continuation and technical classes for the youth of the city. "Under special regulations, since issued by the Minister of Education, a combined directorate now has them in charge. Training College.—The report of the Principal of the Training College is given below. The Board must again put forward the claims of the Dunedin Training College for further and better consideration at the hands of the Government. Its present efficiency could easily be brought more into accordance with the times by the appointment of the tutors or instructors desiderated in the report of the Principal hereto appended. This Training College has been most helpful in providing well-trained teachers, not only for Otago but for every Board in the colony. It is the hope of the Otago Education Board that it may continue to supply good teachers ; but that can only be done by supplying additional and up-to-date tutors, and that the Board cannot do unless the allowance given for the Training College is materially increased. The time has assuredly come when the Minister of Education should take counsel with the educational authorities concerned, in order to purvey a more thoroughly efficient training for teachers of whom so much more is now demanded. It is the opinion of this Board that properly equipped tutors in the training colleges should take the place of the makeshift peripatetic teaching that at present obtains with regard to new subjects. The cost of the institution for the year was : Salaries, £495 6s. Bd. ; allowance to students, £349 11s. Bd.; incidentals, £41 55.: total, £886 3s. 4d : less Government grant for training of teachers, £849 11s. Bd. : net cost, £36 lls. Bd. School of Act and Design.—The total number of students enrolled was 387. This number includes 49 teachers and pupil-teachers, 20 students from the Training College, 79 students who attended the day classes, 177 students who attended the evening classes, and 62 teachers and pupil-teachers who attended the Saturday classes. The cost of the school was: Salaries, £655 13s. 4d; incidental expenses, £74 14 Id.: total, £730 7s. 5d.: less fees (five quarters), £332 Bs.; and Government grant under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, £281 16s. : net cost, £116 3s. sd. Gymnastics and Deill.—The Board's teacher of gymnastics, Mr. Hanna, visited the Homecountry during the year, and while there looked into the work of the best gymnasia in England, . Ireland, and Scotland. His experience enabled him to pronounce in favour of the methods used at Aberdeen, and to advise their adoption. He attends all the larger schools where facilities exist and gives instruction in physical training. He especially imparts such to the pupil-teachers and the students of the Training College, who in the future will be able to do the same to the scholars of our public schools. Many of our teachers, both male and female, have already acquired proficiency in athletics and calisthenics, and are regularly training their pupils therein. While school and class drill is universal, military drill prevails in all the larger schools. Under the new arrangements for the training of all teachers in drill, no school should be unable to show some result of this training. The consolidation of school cadet companies into battalions with local officers, and all under command and inspection of Major Loveday, is expected by the Board to give an impetus to drill and physical training. Inspection.—The average age at which pupils are passing from the schools seems to be decreasing. The average age of those presented in the Sixth Standard in 1902 was 13 years and i months, in 1901 the average of those who passed the Sixth Standard was 13 years and 10 months, and 13 years and 6f months is the mean of the average ages for the three previous years, during which the Otago averages were the lowest in the colony. The Board deprecates the shortening of the school life of the pupils which these averages seem to indicate. The Inspectors report the " general efficiency " of the Standard VII. classes to be weak in 7 schools, fair in 15, satisfactory in 22, good in 14, and very good in 4. It is evident that many parents are desirous of advanced education for their children, not only in towns and closely settled portions of the district, but also in thinly settled portions, and it is to the credit of the teachers of the small schools that they are as ready to give the children all the advantages within their power. It would be well if the Department could still further extend the scope of its grant of free secondary and advanced primary education. The attendance at the old-established district high schools is maintained, and at the recently established schools the attendance fully justifies their establishment. Finance.—The sum expended during the year in teachers' salaries, including house and lodging allowances, was £63,073 9s. 3d. ; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,017 15s. ; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £10,086 2s. From its income for general purposes the Board has during the year been enabled to make graduated increases, amounting to nearly £1,000 in all, on the allowances previously given to School Committees. The scheme of these increases was prepared with great care, and has hitherto given great satisfaction, for many Committees, of small schools especially, were thereby enabled to make ends meet. -A-large number of

Committees have in the course of the year taken advantage of the offer of the Board to pay pound for pound to defray expenses of repairs, improvements, additions, &c, to schools, residences, and grounds. The Board has in this way expended over £700, representing an equal amount contri-. buted by the Committees and the people of their districts. The Board has pleasure in placing on record the most satisfactory manner in which the whole of its officers have discharged their duties. I have, &c,, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. I have much pleasure in presenting my report on the work of the Training College for the year 1902. I shall content myself with a very brief statement of the position and progress of the training classes. The session was opened with an attendance of twenty-five students, classified in the following way : Second-year students, females 6; first-year students, males 7, females 12, total 19. Number left during the year, females 8; number in attendance at the close of the session, males 7, females 10, total 17. The number in attendance at the close of the session was smaller than usual, as several who would otherwise have continued their training at the College were appointed to smaller country schools. There has been a great demand for teachers of this class, and several schools have been closed, I understand, for want of teachers. The exigencies of the public service may, perhaps, be some excuse for withdrawing students from the College who have not completed their period of training, just as imperfectly trained teachers are better than no teachers at all ; but it seems to me an unwise policy all the same, and one that will prove ultimately detrimental both to the schools and to education. The Technical and Practical Course of Training.—All the classes of the Normal School are utilised for the purpose of giving the students training in the art of teaching. To enable as many students as possible to practice at the same time, the classes are subdivided into smaller sections and the lessons are given the usual conditions of a public-school time-table. Whilst the students have the principles upon which the lesson must be conducted laid down with some attention to detail, they are at liberty at all times to apply these principles in any way their own individual powers of resource may suggest. The students are encouraged to give their lessons as if the lesson were a living and spontaneous expression of their mind rather than a stereotyped or formal method of imparting instruction. I have in the course of the year's work always borne

85

E._l.

in mind that one of the chief aims of the Training College is to give scope to the student's imagination, and at the same time to point out to him what the experience of the past has shown to be practicable and serviceable in the art of teaching. The following is a brief statement of the lessons and a note on any point in connection therewith that seems to require explanation. Thirty-one lessons were given in reading The treatment of the reading lesson forms a very important part of the course of training, especially if we strive to attain to a good standard of public-school reading. The greatest difficulty in securing this, arises from the fact that many of our students have not made a study of the art of reading. The few lessons I have time to give to the subject are quite inadequate for the purpose. I suggest to the Board the advisability of appointing an expert at the work to give the students a course of lessons on reading and elocution. In arithmetic forty-five lessons were given in the lower school, twenty-eight in the upper standards, and, in addition to these, a series of letters on the principles of mental arithmetic. Fewer objectlessons were given this year, and no formal lessons on kindergarten work. I think it very necessary that every student passing through the college should have direct instruction from a trained kindergartner. In geography, fifty lessons were given, chiefly in mathematical and physical geography —on the seasons, on longitude and latitude, and on the difference of local time. The physical exercises were given by the students under Mr. Hanna's supervision. The practical lessons in singing should be given under the eye of the teacher of singing, and the lessons in drawing under the direction of the art master; until this is done I feel sure that in neither of these subjects shall we get the best methods of applying the principles underlying these two important subjects of instruction. The work of the Model School continues to interest the students, and is always providing us with some further opportunities for the better management of this difficult type of school. I have constructed a new time-table for the Model School. The chief features in the new time-table are —(1) a better grouping of the reading classes ; (2) more time for expository work ; and (3) a wider application of the principle, the same subject at the same time for the whole school. So far as we have been able to see, the new time-table is an improvement on the one we have been using for the past five or six years. After another year's trial I shall send it out to all teachers in charge of small schools, so that they may have an opportunity of studying it, and of adopting any of its main points if they see fit. The other subjects treated of during the year do not call for any special mention. The following University classes were attended this session : Mental science and senior English, two students ; junior Latin and junior mathematics, four students ; junior Latin and mental science, one student; senior English and senior French, two students; advanced English and French, two students; junior English, mathematics, and French, one student; mechanics, mental science, and senior mathematics, one student. Twelve students out of a total of seventeen were in attendance at the University, the largest proportionate number I think in the history of the Training College. The students did exceedingly well in their University work. In the Education Department's examination the results are as follows : The C certificate, four full C and one partial; the D certificate, three full I) and six partial. Two passed the Matriculation Examination, and no candidates were presented for the E certificate. Futuee Wobk and Peogeamme of Insteuotion.—The Otago Training College has been carrying on its work for twenty-seven years. Many hundreds of students have passed through its course of training. In speaking of the character of the work done in the institution it is usual to point to the fact that Otago students and teachers have been sought after in other districts to fill every educational post—assistant, headmaster, rector, and inspector. That is so. But it seems to me that every year there is a greater need for the better training of teachers, and if our Training College is to keep abreast of the times in every branch of work, and if it is to be as complete and as fully equipped as training colleges in other countries, we must be prepared to make our Training College a source of inspiration for young teachers and a new and interesting field for experimental methods of teaching. To accomplish this end it is necessary to extend and improve the work of the College. In the first place the Training College should be brought into closer connection with the University. A large number of its students should attend University classes, especially with the view of securing the C certificate or the first section of the B.A. degree. There will be a greater. demand in the future for teachers with the higher certificates, seeing that district high schools now form a distinctive feature of our national system. To give our students a longer period of training at the University, I suggest that those students who keep terms during a second year's course should have bursaries given them to cover the University fees, or, what would come to the same thing, as the University is a State institution it should be looked upon as one of its chief functions to assist in the training of State-school teachers, by admitting normal-school students to University classes without payment of fees. Then again, I should like to see the Training College improved by giving facilities for increased efficiency in dealing with the technical and scientific side of a teacher's professional training. The trend of work in the home-training colleges is to give more prominence to the psychology of teaching and to the logical basis of methods of education. I give some part of our time to this aspect of a teacher's training; but I have so many things to attend to that I find it impossible to deal with it in a comprehensive way. Then, as I have already pointed out, the appointment of a trained kindergartner and the establishment of a kindergarten department in the Normal School should be brought about without delay. I have referred to these subjects in former reports, but nothing comes of the reforms that I propose. Might I suggest that the Board draw up a report on training-college work, and submit it to the' consideration of the Minister of Education during the forthcoming session of Parliament. • D. E. White, M.A., Principal.

SOUTHLAND. Sir,— Education Office, Invercargill, 21st March, 1903. Id accordance with the provisions of section 102 of "The Education Act, 1877," the Southland Board of Education has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1902 :— The Boaed and its Meetings.—At the commencement of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Messrs. I. W. Eaymond (Chairman), James Copland, M.A., M.D., Ph.D., William Macalister, 8.A., LL.B., George McLeod, M.A., Alfred Baldey, John Cowie, Thomas Mac Gibbon, William B. Scandrett, and John C. Thomson, M.H.E. During the year the personnel of the Board underwent no change, the retiring members, Messrs. A. Baldey, I. W. Eaymond, and George McLeod being re-elected for another term. At its September meeting Mr. John 0. Thomson was unanimously elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. Towards the close of the year the Board, and, it might also be said, the cause of Education in Southland suffered a serious loss by the death of Dr. James Copland, of Gore. The following resolution was adopted : " That this Board desires to place on record its deep regret at the death of Dr. James Copland, one of its colleagues, and its very high appreciation of his scholarly attaintments and ripe judgment as a member of this Board, whose place it will be most difficult to fill." The election of a member to fill the vacancy so caused was held on the 29th December, 1902. From the four candidates nominated by members of School Committees Mr. Duncan Gilchrist, of Waikaka Valley, was duly elected as Dr. Copland's successor. The interest in these elections, under the new Acts of 1900 and 1901 respectively, appears to be more manifest than under the previous system whereby School Committees as a body, and not individual members thereof, exercised the privilege of voters. In the working of these Acts there is one point worthy of special note. As was the case in the first election in this district, so in the elections held during the past year, there was a very considerable number of informal votes, the informality chiefly consisting in the omission to sign the votingpapers, or in neglecting to post them so as to reach the Board's office within the time prescribed by the Act. These informalities occurred in spite of the fact that a special circular emphasizing the various points of importance to be attended to in recording votes was sent to each School Committee, and an indorsement to the same effect made on each voting-paper issued. Messrs. W. Macalister and J. C. Thomson were elected as representatives of the Board on the Southland High Schools Board of Governors for the current year; and Mr. T. Mac Gibbon was re-elected to act in a similar capacity on the Board of the School Commissioners for the Otago District. Throughout the year twelve ordinary and two special meetings of the Board were held. Schools.— At the close of the preceding year (1901) the number of schools in existence was 149. During the year to which this report refers two schools —one at Skipper's Eeefs, the other at Kaiwera (half-time)—were closed, each for lack of an attendance sufficient to warrant its continuance ; and three new schools were opened at Holmsdale, near Lumsden, at Bushy Park Station, near Mataura, and at Lynwood Station, near Lake Te Anau. The two last mentioned are " household " schools, established for the sole benefit of children residing on these stations who otherwise would be deprived of all educational privileges. The manager of the station in each case contributes £20 per annum (with free board) towards the teacher's support, the Board paying over the capitation earned by the average attendance. There were thus at the close of the year 150 schools in operation. Attendance and Teoancy.—Although the number of schools in the district has practically remained stationary, the attendance, more especially the average attendance, has shown a gratifying increase. The average weekly roll-number and average attendance for the present and preceding years are as follows : 1901—average roll, 9,521; average attendance, 7,910 ; 1902—average roll, 9,594 ; average attendance, 8,241. These figures indicate that while the roll-number has increased by seventy-three the average has during the same period increased by 331. The latter is the most satisfactory feature concerning the attendance at our schools during the year. The percentage of average attendance to average weekly roll now stands at nearly 859, a record for this educational district. Last year (then a record for the district) the percentage was 83. It would, perhaps, be scarcely accurate to ascribe these gratifying results to the increasing interest of parents in the educational welfare of their children. It would probably be nearer the mark to say that the greater stringency of the School Attendance Act, and the provisions whereby its requirements may be more vigorously enforced, contribute in large measure to the higher percentage of average attendance now recorded. It is at any rate undeniable that the Board may claim credit for the vigorous and systematic manner in which it has—especially during the past year—set itself to check the evil of irregular attendance in the district. Early in the year the Board required each teacher in charge of a school to furnish a monthly statement (on a form provided for the purpose) of the general attendance, with specific and detailed information concerning every defaulter under the School Attendance Act. These forms, duly filled up, were sent to the Board's offiae at the end of each month, a copy aiso being supplied to the School Corrmittee of the district, whose co-operation was in some measure thus secured. On the information thus supplied, the Board's Truant Officer was able to take action to secure due compliance with the law. In order that no one might plead ignorance of the statute, a circular was prepared explaining the provisions of the School Attendance Act and pointing out the existing responsibilities of both teachers and parents, and a copy thereof sent to every parent or guardian in the education district. When it is considered that the percentage of average attendance to roll-number in this district stood as low as 74 or 75 some years ago, it will be seen how great an advance has been made, representing as it does some eight or nine hundred additional pupils in attendance at our public schools every day.

87

E;—l.

Tbachbbs and Pupil-teachers.— In the Board's service at the end of the year there were 265 teachers, showing an increase of twenty-five over the previous year's returns.- This increase is accounted for by the appointment of extra assistants (principally mistresses) under the PublicSchool Teachers' Salaries Act. In the year 1895 the percentage of male to female pupil-teachers in the district was as 133 to 866. The Board for the past few years has strenuously endeavoured to counteract this tendency for the education of the district to pass almost entirely into the hands of females; and, whenever practicable, has encouraged the employment of suitable boys. The numbers now in the service show that the percentage of the sexes is as 31 to 69, in other words, the proportion of boys in the ranks of pupil-teachers has more than doubled during the past seven years. When the low rate of salary offered to male pupil-teachers is taken into account, it is doubtful whether the supply will continue to be equal to the demand. The usual annual examination of pupil-teachers was held in the month of June last, when 23 candidates were present. Of these, 5 were examined in the first class, 9in the second, 4in the third, and sin the fourth. Six candidates failed—l in the first class, 2in the second, lin the third, and 2 in the fourth. All the other pupil-teachers in the service were for sufficient reasons—chiefly on the ground of having passed a superior examination—exempted from attendance, no less than thirteen being matriculated students of the New Zealand University. The Inspectors report that the work was varied in character, ranging from poor to good, and that the papers handed in by the candidates were good in form, being neatly written and methodically arranged. Salaries of Teachers.—Under the colonial scale of staffs and salaries, the teachers of this district have on the whole greatly benefited. A substantial advantage has been gained by (1) those in charge of the larger schools, (2) by the teachers of schools with an average attendance below twenty ; and (3) generally by all female teachers in charge of schools ; while the male teachers of schools with an average from twenty to thirty and the male assistants in the largest schools have (or will have, after the close of the year 1903) suffered considerable reduction of income. Should any revision or modification of the scale of payments be resolved on, the Board trusts that the claims of the last-mentioned classes of teachers will not be overlooked Speaking generally it may be said that, exclusive of the payment in respect of new appointments under the Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, the salaries of teachers in this district have benefited to the extent of probably £1,500 per annum by the adoption of the new scale. It is, perhaps, yet too soon to hazard a definite opinion as to the probable effects of the colonialisation of payments of salaries to such a large and important section of the State workers, but it is quite safe to say that the payment approximately of equal salary for equal work and responsibility all over the colony is in itself not only just and equitable, but conducive to the general advancement of the best interests of education. One effect of the employment of so many extra teachers under the new system has been to absorb all the surplus talent available ; and, indeed, to create a demand which can only at present be satisfied by the temporary appointment of partially certificated or altogether uncertificated persons to fill the smaller vacancies. It is probable that, for the less remunerative positions, the services of fully qualified teachers will not be available for some years to come. It is satisfactory to learn that some of the defects of the new Act have already been removed. Provision has been made by the Department for the payment of relieving-teachers in the place of those absent from duty on sick-leave; and this Board is particularly gratified to note by the issue of recent regulations under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act that provision has also been made for the instruction of all girls in sewing. Training of Teachers.—The Board in its last report acknowledged receipt from the Government of a special grant of £150 for the training of its teaching staff in the various departments of kindergarten, manual, and technical work. This year a similar vote for this purpose was placed at the Board's disposal. Special Saturday classes for the instruction of teachers in these subjects were held in Invercargill and Gore throughout the year. To enable students from all parts of the district accessible to the railway system to attend, free passes were issued. A large majority of the Board's staff of teachers took advantage of the concession offered of gaining some practical knowledge of the various subjects above enumerated —a knowledge that, judging by the spirit of the times, seems now to be an indispensable adjunct to the teacher's stock in trade. The fact that so many of the Board's staff of teachers are willing, and indeed in many cases anxious, to sacrifice their statutory weekly holiday to equip themselves more fully for their life's work speaks volumes for their earnestness and enthusiasm. The balance at the close of 1901 to the credit of the Teachers' Training Account was £9118s. Bd. Allowing for receipts and expenditure during 1902, and the deduction of the sum voted for administration expenses as allowed by the Department, the credit balance on the 31st December was £95 Is. 10d., for the judicious expenditure of which due provision will be made during the now current year. Scholarships. —The second annual examination for scholarships under the new regulations was held in December. In all 56 candidates presented themselves, 7 for extension of scholarships held till the end of the year, and 49 for ordinary scholarships. Of the latter 18 were girls and 31 boys; while of the candidates for extension 1 was a girl, the others were boys. All .of the seniors and twenty-four of the juniors made over 60 per cent, of the possible number of marks, and the Inspectors report that much of the work done by the majority of the candidates was excellent, and that the general results of the examination were very good indeed,

88

E.—l.

As provided for in the regulations, the Board in allocating these scholarships was actuated by a desire to make an equitable distribution in value as between town and country competitors, especially so in consequence of the new regulations affecting high schools, by which absolutely free secondary education is offered to ordinary pupils in the public schools who pass the Sixth Standard under fourteen years of age. This liberal provision makes it possible for every pupil of average capacity resident in or near Invercargill to obtain a high-school education at but a small cost to the parent for books, &c. Consequent on this innovation, it becomes desirable that the Board should consider the propriety of again revising the scholarship regulations with the view of widening the scope and increasing the benefits of the scholarship system. The sum spent on scholarships during the year amounted to £666 7s. 10d. of which £655 13s. 4d. was paid to holders, the balance being absorbed in the payment of examination expenses. Manual and Technical Education.—Under this heading the Board has a very satisfactory report to submit. The work of technical education has been carried on in all its varied aspects to a successful issue during the past year. The progress of the work has been most marked, and its financial results most encouraging. The revenue for the year from all sources amounted to £885 175., and the disbursements to £751 175., as against an income and expenditure of £399 11s. 4d. and £418 7s. respectively for the preceding year. Of the gross receipts no less than £205 11s. 6d. was received as fees from students in attendance. These figures do not of course present an absolutely correct estimate of the year's financial results, as very considerable amounts were due by the Department in respect of the various claims submitted ; and, similarly, many payments to teachers and others were due but could not be made until the data on which such payments were based could be collected. It may, however, be safely assumed that the year's operations will result in a substantial balance to the credit of the Technical Account as a whole. The report of the Board's Director of Technical Instruction gives detailed information respecting the various classes in operation in this department of educational activity in this district. Building Operations.—To the credit of the Building Account at the commencement of the year there stood a sum of £377 11s. lid., to which has to be added the receipts, the items of which are as follows : Ordinary grant for buildings £3,400 ; special grants for the erection of a new school at Lower Hedgehope and an addition to the school at Mataura, £625 Bs. 6d.; grant for reinstatement of school furniture destroyed by fire, £10 ; amount derived from the sale of old school sites and buildings, £570 13s. ; and £60 2s. Bd. received as donations and subscriptions : making a grand total of £5,043 16s. Id. In this account the principal items of expenditure were as follows : New buildings, £1,805 Is. 6d. ; repairs and improvements, £2,061 16s. 3d.; furniture, £80 19s. 3d. ; sites, £34 4s. 9d. ; plans, supervision, &c, £369 15s. 10d. ; advertising tenders, £32 Is. 6d. These show the aggregate expenditure for building purposes to have been £4,383 19s. Id., leaving a balance to credit at the close of the year's operations of £659 17s. Early in the year the Board finally decided on the erection of a new school at the Bluff, and in July last a tender for the work at £1,630 was accepted. The old building and site had previously been disposed of for £402, the receipt of which sum materially diminished the strain on the Board's finance in having to undertake this expensive work. The building, which is constructed on the most modern principles, was almost completed at the end of the year, and occupation was given at the expiration of the Christmas holidays. The works next in importance carried out during the year were the erection of substantial additions to the schools at Mataura and Gore respectively and a smaller addition to the school at Thornbury. Tenders were also accepted for additions to the schools at Orepuki, Fortrose, Wendon, Maitland Village, Colac Bay, and Waimatuku, the works to be completed early in 1903. Small residences for the use of the teachers at Waipounamu and Eedan Valley were also built, and additional rooms added to the residences at Oteramika Gorge, Otatara Bush, Haldane, and Pyramid Siding. It may be mentioned here that the possession of a small residence in districts where the average attendance at the school exceeds twenty is not always an unmixed good, as the provision of such a necessary convenience, though its rental value may not amount to more than a few pounds per annum, deprives the teacher of the right to claim a twenty-pound house allowance as part of his emoluments. Some equitable regulation should be framed whereby the occupier of such a humble cottage should be entitled to a pro raid payment in respect of house allowance—the difference between the actual rent-value of the residence provided and the amount to which he is entitled under the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act would be fair and reasonable. The Board is aware of the difficulty of making suitable provision for every contingency that may arise in the administration of the new Act, and any apparently adverse criticism of the existing condition of things is submitted with a sincere desire to assist the Department in making more perfect a system of payments that has so much to commend it. Physical Teaining.—The Board, acting in conjunction with the High Schools Board, has devoted considerable attention during the year to the subject of physical training as applied to the teachers and pupils of the schools of the district. A competent instructor, Mr. J. V. Hanna, has been appointed to carry on this work, this Board contributing at the rate of £100 per anumn, with travelling-expenses, towards the salary. The High Schools Board undertook the responsibility of erecting a suitable building in Invercargill, properly and fully equipped, to be used by both Boards as a gymnasium, and towards its support this Board makes an annual payment of £50. Thus has a long-felt want been supplied, and it is confidently anticipated that a general improvement in the physique of both teachers and pupils will be the result. During the coming year, Mr. Hanna will devote at least three-fourths of his time to the instruction of teachers and pupils of the public schools.

E.—l.

Though the provisions of section 3 of the Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act have not been complied with literally, physical drill has been taught with varying success in all the schools in the district. During the latter part of the year 1902, systematic instruction was given by Instructor Hanna to the pupils attending the larger schools : and at present there are special classes for the instruction of teachers of physical drill going on both at Invercargill and Gore, the former being taught by Instructor Hanna, the latter by Lieutenant Fraser. The teachers appear to be intensely interested in the matter, and it is confidently expected that through the medium of these classes physical drill will be taught successfully in at least three-fourths of the Board schools. It is also intended that the subject shall be taken as one of the courses of instruction at the proposed summer school to be held in Invercargil! at the end of this or the beginning of next year. Financial.—The Board's annual statement of receipts and expenditure, duly certified by the Auditor-General, has already been forwarded to your Department. This document shows that the balances to credit of Building and General Accounts, which at the close of the preceding year stood at £377 and £561, have increased to £620 and £897 respectively. It is very satisfactory to note that, amid the change and dislocation of accounts inseparable from the introduction of a completely new system of payments, the general tendency of the Board's financial position should show signs of improvement. It must not, however, be forgotten that several changes in the incidence of the Board's expenditure during the year have not yet had full time to operate, so that for the coming year the payments from the General Fund will be somewhat heavier than those for the year just ended. The payment of the increased rate for incidental expenses of Boards, as allowed by the last clause of subsection (b) of section 5 of " The Public-School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," which was understood to be authorised by last session of Parliament, has been expected for some months past. This extra allowance, amounting to 9d. per unit of average attendance, will, the Board regrets to note, benefit this district to a very limited extent indeed, as the good effect of the increase will be neutralised by the deduction of £250 per annum from the amount at present payable. The net increase to this district under the new method of payment when introduced will amount to something like £59 per annum. The Board would direct special attention to the unjust provision, whereby two only out or the thirteen Education Boards in the colony will be deprived of the full benefit of the proposed increase of payment. If the deduction of the fixed allowance of £250 as a condition of raising the capitation from 11s. 3d. to 12s. is a necessity, then it is submitted that such deduction should not be regulated by a rigid hard-and-fast rule to apply only to Boards having just over 8,000 pupils in average attendance, but should rather be fixed on a sliding scale, the deduction being graded according to the average attendance in each district. It is generally admitted that the cost of administration in thickly populated districts, where the number of schools rather than the average attendance should form a basis of calculation, is not or should not be so great proportionately as in localities less favoured in this respect. The net income and expenditure (exclusive of balances) for the year 1901 were, omitting shillings and pence, £36,276 and £37,586; the corresponding figures for this year were £41,800 2s. lid. and £41,220 10s. 2d. respectively. The principal items in the finance of the past year in which material alteration appears are as follows : In respect of teachers' salaries the receipts were £30,116 2s. 2d. (inclusive of reserves revenue) ; £323 10s. 9d., final payment of special increases to salaries made under the Publicschool Teachers' Salaries Act of 1900 ; grant for relieving-work, £176 os. Bd.; and capitation in respect of District High Schools, £156 : a total of £30,771 13s. 7d. The items of expenditure in this same connection were as follows : Teachers' salaries, including payment of (1) special increase for the last quarter of 1901, (2) salaries to special assistants in District High Schools, (3) allowances paid to relieving-teachers, £30,404 18s. 7d.; teachers' house allowances, £222 12s. Bd.; pupil-teachers' lodging allowances, £105 9s 4d. : a total of £30,753 os. 7d. These figures show an apparent surplus on the Teachers' Salaries Account of £18 13s. As an asset the payment of district high schools capitation for the December quarter, not received till after the close of the year, has to be reckoned in balancing this (Teachers' Salaries) Account. Similarly, the surplus revenue from District High Schools has to be allocated ; and considerable adjustments in the salaries of the ordinary teaching staff, incidental to changes made during the last quarter of the year, have to be made. When these assets and liabilities are taken into consideration, the net amount to credit will be only slightly altered. The liabilities against the General and Building Accounts are, as shown in Departmental Eeturn No. 6, £904 2s. Bd. and £2,188 Bs. sd. respectively, the latter sum being counterbalanced by special grants due by your Department in respect of additions to buildings amounting to £1,103 17s. By order of the Board, John Nbill, Secretary. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sib,— Education Office, Napier, 20th March, 1903. I have the honour to forward the following report of proceedings of the Hawke's Bay Education Board for the year 1902 : — The Boaed.—The Board consists of the following members : T. Tanner (Chairman), C. A. Fitzroy, Rev. A. Grant, S. Johnson, 0. Hall, M.H.E., S. McLernon, J. J. Patterson, J. C. Westall, and Sir William Eussell, M.H.E. School Attendance. —The average attendance for 1902 was 7,042, while the roll-number was 8,332. Schools. —Motu and Whakarau were closed for three months of the year, but they are again in working order. Eakauroa School, lying between the above districts, was opened on the Ist April; Patoka was opened as an aided school on the Ist November ; Wakarara was reopened on the Ist February. Additions have been made to a number of schools and teachers' residences. Contracts have been accepted for the erection of new schools at Hatuma, Mangatoro, Mangateretere, and Mangapapa, and teachers' residences at Weber and Umutaoroa. In regard to grants for schools at Mohaka and Waipiro, the Board represented to the Department the inutility of erecting schools when proper accommodation for a teacher could not be obtained in either place, but advocating a grant be given for a teacher's residence; but without avail. And these two schools are almost entirely for the benefit of Native children, a few Europeans attending. The Department only give a grant of from £400 to £435 to the Board— considering the same object is sought for—the education of the children of New Zealand. The system of making special grants by the Department the Board considers is not satisfactory. The Board would call attention to Mahora application made by resident settlers and supported by the Board. The Government refused to grant the application. Some months afterwards the Department stated they would reconsider their decision, and one of the officers of the Department would shortly visit the district and report. On the report of the Department's officer a sum was granted—but the system, the Board is of opinion is objectionable. The Public Health Depabtment has been brought into prominence during last year. Whilst the Board agrees that sanitary reforms may be and are necessary in some of the schools, the Department should furnish the Board with the means to meet such an expenditure, and not compel the Board to expend money granted for erection of teachers' residences, repairs, desks, maps, and all apparatus and appliances necessary to carry on the work of the schools, on sanitary works.

X—l.

Training School.'—lt has been decided by the Department to continue the Training School upon the same basis as last year. School Committees. —The Board have great pleasure in reporting that its relations with the School Committees continue to be most satisfactory. There is, however, an underlying feeling of dissatisfaction with the grants made to provide necessary works; but if the Board has not the money it can only meet applications to the extent of its means. A few of the Committees continue to subsidise the grants of the Board. Technical. —The question of technical education is one that is causing much additional work to be done by the Board, without any compensating results in the matter of special classes. The Board is desirous of fostering technical education, and for this purpose school-classes are being encouraged as much as possible. Teachers' classes have been carried on in three centres of the district, in which the teachers have shown much interest, and the attendance has been satisfactory ; but in the matter of special classes the case is different, and until some different arrangements are made, such as an overseeing authority, the Board has no means of ascertaining the efficiency or otherwise of the work done. The Board's Inspector not being an inspector under the Act, it is thought the Department might sanction the appointment by the Board of a controlling body to consist of representatives from Borough Council, Napier High School Board of Governors, and the Education Board, who could arrange for the proper supervision of the work done by special classes. Scholarship Eegulations.—The issue of new regulations bearing on the work of secondary education has caused a temporary disarrangement of the scholarship regulations, and some amendments will be needful to adapt them to the new conditions. There are fifty-five 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, ten of £30 45., two of £16 45., and thirty-one of £10 45.; there are also ten free scholarships under the new regulations granted, the Commissioners paying £2 10s. for school requisites to each pupil, and £13 4s. for coach-fare, the Education Department providing £6 for each free pupil. District High Schools. —The question of establishing district high schools has been prominently brought forward during the year, but with no practical results, unless in the case of Gisborne having established a Free District High School; but this is partly owing to the endowments granted years ago to the Gisborne High School Board of Governors, who now use their endowments to foster a Free District High School at Gisborne. There is an effort being made to start a District High School at Dannevirke. Physical Drill.—Drill is taught in all schools save where female teachers are in chavge. Finance. —The account of the Board's income and expenditure for the year duly audited by the Government Auditor is forwarded herewith. The amount paid for teachers' salaries was £23,669 12s. 5d., to School Committees, £2,336 3s. 2d.; and the amount expended on the purchase of school sites, erection of school buildings, repairs, &c, was £2,879 os. 3d. I have, &c, Thos. Tanner, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

The Secretary for Education to the Secretary to the Education Boaed. Education Department, Wellington, 25th July, 1903. The Secretary, Education Board, Napier. I am directed by the Minister of Education to request that on the following grounds the Board will revise its annual report as sent in to the Department: — 1. The paragraph respecting schools at Mohaka and Waipiro does not accurately represent the facts. A grant of £435 for a school ac Mohaka was made in 1900, and has not yet been applied to the purpose. The Department has received no application for a grant for a school at Waipiro. Special grants are not made on account of the attendance of Maori children any more than for the attendance of any other section of the children. Under the Act the Board has to treat both races alike. 2. The reference to what has taken place in regard to Mahora does not fairly represent the facts. The Board asked for a grant of £790. My report to the Government, alter visiting the place and consulting with the Chairman of the Board, was that a grant of £375 would suffice, and with this I understood both the Chairman and the Committee were satisfied. 3. With regard to the paragraph on technical education, I am to point out that if the Board decides to have managers for the Technical School, it can, under the Act, have them by forming associated classes with the Borough Council or any other bodies concerned. The Department, however, has not been asked to sanction the classes as asssociated classes, but as special classes under the immediate management of the Board itself. There is evidently a misapprehension of the Act and regulations. 4. The paragraph with regard to scholarships would be clearer if it were shown which of the scholarships were given by the School Commissioners and which by the Board. 5. The construction of the report is defective in some places. I refer, for example, to the paragraph relating to the Mohaka and Waipiro Schools. I should be obliged by your bringing the matter before the Board with the least possible delay. The rest of the reports of Education Boards are in the Printer's hands, and will go to press in the course of a few days. G. Hooben, Secretary for Education.

The Secretary to the Education Boaed to the Secretary fob Education. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, sth August, 1903. Yours of the 25th July, requesting the Board to revise its annual report for certain reasons, is to hand. At a meeting of the Board yesterday, I was instructed to forward the annexed memo, in reference to Nos. 1 and 2 of your memo, for the information of the Hon. the Minister of Education. Yours, &c, Secretary, Education Department, Wellington. G. T. Fannin, Secretary. 1. Mohaka School was not built —first, because grant was insufficient; second, Board had no title to the land for two years after grant was made; third, Board pointed out to Department the inutility of erecting a school without a teacher's residence. You state the Department had received no application for a grant at Waipiro. An application was made, and the Department granted £430. This school is nearly finished, but a similar drawback as at Mohaka occurred here, only in November we were able to localise section upon which Board could erect school; and Board also pointed out the want of a teacher's residence. 2. In March. 1901, application was made supported by petition from settlers at Mahora for a school and repeated request for a reply, which when received stated Minister could not give a grant for a school at Mahora. Some short time afterwards a letter came to Board stating Department would reconsider application and that one of the Department's officers would be shortly up in the district and would report thereon—with result a grant of £375 was made on an officer's recommendation or report. Now, as to grant of £375— £ Tender accepted ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 289 Shelter-shed ... ... ... ... ... .. ... 27 Artesian well .. ... ... ... ... ... ... 13 Fencing, &c. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 21 Ground ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 70 Desks, maps, &c. ... ... ... ... .., ... ... 50 470 Department's grant ... ... ... ... ... 375 95 Leaving the Board to find £95, besides settlers had subscribed £30 for ground which cost £100.

The Secretaey for Education to the Secretary to the Education Board. Education Department, Wellington, 10th September, 1903. The Secretary, Education Board, Napier. I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the sth ultimo, and to express my regret that, when writing on the 25th July, I overlooked the fact that three years ago a grant was made for the Waipiro School. With regard to Mahora, I can only add that I believe that the grant of £375 should have been sufficient for the purpose. My estimate for furniture, &c, was £30; and, in my opinion, the land should have cost the Board nothing. G. Hogben, Secretary for Education.

MARLBOROUGH. Sib,— Blenheim, 9th March, 1903. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board, for the year ending the 31st December, 1902. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following persons : Messrs. J. C. Chaytor, John Duncan, Alfred G. Fell, Alfred J. Litchfield, Richard McCallum, W. H. Macey, W. B. Parker, J. H. Redwood, and A. P. Seymour. The members retiring by rotation were Messrs. Fell, Parker, and Redwood ; the first two were re-elected, and Mr. Charles Ferguson was chosen in the place of Mr. Joseph Redwood, who, to the regret of the Board, did not offer himself for re-election. Twelve meetings of the Board were held, and the average attendance at these meetings was 75. Schools. —The number of schools open at the end of the year 1901 was 62. Eight of these (all small aided schools) were closed, 4 temporarily, and 4 permanently ; and 6 were opened (or reopened) ; so that the total number of schools open at the end of the year was 60. The difficulty experienced in obtaining suitable teachers for these small and remote schools is the cause of the frequent changes in their number. Seventy per cent of the schools in this district are in the two lowest grades, nearly 42 per cent, being in grade 0, having an average attendance not exceeding eight. Attendances.—The mean average roll-number for the year under review was 2,054, and the mean average daily attendance, 1,745, or 85 per cent. This is the highest percentage for some years, and is 1 per cent, above the average for the colony for 1901. In 1900 it was 81-5, and in 1901 82-6, thus showing a steady increase during the past three years. No doubt this is, to a large extent, due to the exertions of the Truant Officers. The new scale of staffs and salaries has, after a year's trial, shown that like all human arrangements it is capable of considerable improvement. The following are some eases needing attention : (1.) The teacher.of a school having an average attendance of eight receives a salary of £40, while one more in average attendance would add £16 to the salary, or more than three times as much for one child as is paid per head for the other eight. (2.) The case of schools in 'grade 3 : the sole teacher of such a school may have as many as forty children distributed amongst seven or more classes and has certainly the hardest position of any teacher in the service, and considering the arduous nature of his or her duties, the most poorly paid. When such a school reaches forty-one it is entitled to an assistant at £80. School Districts. —On the petition of the inhabitants of the Rai Valley, the Board constituted that part of the Canvastown School District into a separate school district, thus bringing up the number of such districts to twenty-eight. Three of these however —namely, Endeavour Inlet, Deep Creek, and Port Underwood—have ceased to have more than a nominal existence. At the beginning of the year the Board amended its scale of payments to School Committees by fixing a sliding scale according to the grade in which the schools are respectively placed under the PublicSchool Teachers' Salaries Act; and the effect of the amendment is to slightly increase the grant to Committees in all the schools, except the largest, the allowances to which remain the same as before. The Board hopes to be able before long to still further increase the Committees' allowance, as they with one consent complain of its insufficiency. The most cordial relations continue to exist between the Board and the Committees, whose management of the business intrusted to them has been all that can be desired. Manual and Technical Instruction.—Up to the present time, no public interest has been evinced in the direction of manual and technical education in this district, such as has been shown in many other parts of the colony by the establishment of associated technical classes, either by independent associations or in conjunction with the Education Boards. Perhaps the almost entire absence of manufacturing industries in a community exclusively occupied in agricultural or pastoral pursuits may partly account for this apparent apathy. The Board has not as yet made any attempt to promote the movement in its primary schools, being of the opinion that until the adoption of the long-promised revision of the standard syllabus, which was announced in the Minister's last report as being " shortly to be gazetted," it would be injudicious to press upon its teachers the addition of anything whatever to the work demanded by the existing syllabus. Although no application has been made to the Department for assistance in promoting the objects of the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, yet means have been provided by the Board out of its ordinary revenue to enable such teachers as voluntarily elected to make a beginning in this direction by supplying them with the means of introducing plasticine modelling into their schools; and the supplies of kindergarten materials have been increased and distributed to such teachers as have included those methods of hand and eye training in their course of instruction. Judging from the Inspector's report for the past year, the results of the year's work in the ordinary subjects of the syllabus do not appear to have suffered by the introduction of this class of work, but rather the contrary ; and should the promised revision of the syllabus and the further simplification of the regulations under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act be accomplished, the Board may find it possible to avail itself of the provisions of the same without detriment to the ordinary work of the primary school. Buildings.—ln common with every education district in the colony, the Board finds it impossible to meet the urgent requirements of the district out of the building grant so parsimoniously provided by Parliament. The Minister says in his last annual report, "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 " ; but it would appear that the attention of Parliament needs very much to be directed to this self-evident truth, and the Board hopes that the Minister will bring the matter very earnestly and strenously before the next session, and place on the estimates a sum amply sufficient to prevent the otherwise inevitable premature decay of all the school buildings in the country. Seeing how general is the complaint of insufficient building grants throughout the colony, and that the members representing

94

E.—l.

the several education districts are practically the whole Parliament, it is scarcely likely that a majority would not be in favour of a very much more liberal vote for school buildings. The perishable nature of even the best-constructed wooden buildings being taken into consideration, together with their liability to be injured or destroyed by fire, should lead the Minister to consider whether it would not be more economical to insist on all future schools in well-established and populated districts being constructed in brick, concrete, or some other durable material. The life of a wooden building is estimated by the Minister at from thirty-three to forty years, while a properly constructed building would probably last at least five times as long, and the perpetually recurring necessity for painting and repairs would be to a great extent avoided. The difference between the cost of a brick school and a wooden one of the same size would now be from 25 to 35 per cent, more, while the rapid decrease of native timber in all parts of New Zealand will gradually diminish this difference. "While timber has even now in some districts to be procured from a considerable and ever-increasing distance, bricks can be made almost anywhere, which is another factor to be taken into account when considering this proposal. Referring to this district, it has already been shown by correspondence to the Department that, with one exception, all the school buildings are wooden ones ; that a majority of these have not been repainted for twelve years, and others not since first erected ; that some have already reached the average age referred to by the Minister, and are in a very delapidated condition ; and that it is no longer possible to supplement an inadequate building vote by advances from the general fund. Scholarships.—There are eight scholarships now current under the Board's regulations, exclusive of those that expired at the end.of the year. These are all held at ths Marlborough High School, and it is pleasing to find that three of those scholars whose time has just expired have lately passed the Matriculation Examination, and that several others have passed the Civil Service Examination. The Board congratulates the Government on the movement made in the direction of secondary education, and hopes that a system of scholarships will be added that will extend the benefit to children who live at a distance from the secondary schools. Physical Drill.—The Board has not yet made any regulations under section 4 of " The Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act, 1901." In all the Board Schools a fair amount of instruction in drill and physical exercises has always been given, and in the larger schools the boys have dumb-bell exercises in addition to the military drill, and the girls wand or club drill.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS.

AUCKLAND. Sir, — School Commissioner's Office, Auckland, 15th May, 1903. I have the honour to forward the statement of the School Commissioner's accounts for the year 1902. The income from the reserves shows a considerable increase on that of 1901, enabling payments of £2,800 and £699 10s. Bd. for primary and secondary education purposes respectively. The amount set down as " Expenditure on reserves " was mainly attributable to the purchase of a lessee's interest in a building lease for the unexpired term of the lease. The major portion of the endowment fund was expended in the purchase of valuable freehold property in the City of Auckland at satisfactory prices. The reserves let, or relet on expiry of leases, comprise twenty-six sections of town and suburban lands, 66 acres 2 roods 14 perches, yielding per annum £143 165.; and forty'five sections of country lands, yielding per annum £353 10s. Id. To meet the demand for land in country districts, the Commissioners have advertised the whole of the unlet sections, so that those now applied for can be immediatefy secured, and the remainder, as provided by the Public Bodies' Powers Act, can remain open for a year without readvertising. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. E. Udy, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sib, — School Commissioner's Office, New Plymouth, 30th May, 1903. I have the honour to hand you herewith copy of the Board's annual statement of receipts and disbursements, with the balance-sheet for the year ending the 31st December last, duly certified by the Auditor and Controller-General. It will be observed that the rents in arrear amounted to £650 (out of a rent-roll of about £3,000, and inclusive of a number which are payable in advance), against £477 at the end of 1901. This increase is due to the unusual lateness of the milking season, which necessarily affected the income of the dairy farmers, from whom the Board derives its revenue. The year has been an uneventful one, and the personnel of the Board has undergone no change since Mr. MacKenzie, Commissioner of Crown Lands, joined it in succession to Mr. Strauchon. I have to express my thanks to my colleagues for their unvarying courtesy and able cooperation. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. R. Cock, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Wellington School Commissioners' Office, Wellington, Sir,— 6th March, 1903. I have the honour to forward the report and statement of receipts and expenditure of the School Commissioners for the Wellington Provincial District for the year ended the 31st December, 1902. The following gentlemen are members of the Board of Commissioners : Mr. J. E. Blair (Chairman, at present on leave of absence), Mr. A. W. Hogg, M.H.E., Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.E., Mr. F.,Pirani, and Mr. J. Strauchon, Commissioner of Crown Lands (Acting-Chairman). Sales of leases were held in the country districts during the year, at which fifteen sections, comprising 1,173 acres 2 roods 7 perches, were let at an annual rental of £129 12s. 9d. to thirteen tenants. The total number of tenants now on the rent-roll is 449. The total area of reserves set aside and vested in the Commissioners during the year was 147 acres 1 rood 14 perches, comprising thirty-one sections. The Commissioners desire to draw attention to the fact that they are at present unable to subdivide valuable lands, comprised in leases falling in from time to time, which are suitable for cutting up, and from which a greatly enhanced revenue would be derived if so dealt with, being barred by section 21 of " The Education Eeserves Act, 1877," from spending any of the funds at their disposal on the making of the roads required in all cases of subdivision in terms of section 20 of " The Public Works Acts Amendment Act, 1900." The Commissioners consider it very desirable, in the interests of their trust, that they should have power to make such expenditure when considered necessary. During the year the Commissioners sustained a severe loss in the death of their late Secretary, Mr. N. J. Tone, and wish to place on record their high appreciation of the valuable services rendered by him during the six years and a half he held office as Secretary. He has been succeeded in that office by Mr. J. H. W. Wardrop, late of the Lands and Survey Department, who took up the duties on the Ist September last. I have, &c, John Strauchon, Acting-Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 20th March, 1903. 1 have the honour to forward herewith statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year ended the 31st December, 1902, duly audited, and to report as follows : — A small section of rural land has been set aside and vested in the Commissioners for secondary education, and it has been let at an annual rental of £11. During the early part of the year a reserve, which was passed in at an auction sale in 1901, was leased at the upset rental of £3 45., increasing after five years to £9 125.; and the sum of £260 was received for the timber on the land. An auction sale of leases was held at the end of the year, when two rural, two suburban, and nine town lots were offered. The two rural sections were sold at the aggregate annual rental of £77 ; one of the suburban lots, containing 5 acres and 13 perches, was sold at an annual rental of £2 2s. 6d. per acre ; and one of the town lots was sold at an annual rental of £27. The other lots were passed in. A further sum of £88 Bs. Bd. has been expended in destroying rabbits on the block of 5,600 acres mentioned in last year's report. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Eric C. Gold Smith, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sib, — Education Office, Hokitika, 10th February, 1903. I have the honour to forward a copy of the certified balance-sheet for the year ending the 31st December, 1902, and to report as follows on the transactions of the same period:— The reserves of the Westland Provincial District form an area of nearly 19,000 acres, and of this 6,600 acres are let at a total rental of only £34 12s. 6d., while the remaining portion has not been rented for either pastoral or agricultural purposes. The chief reason for the smallness of the income is the unsuitability of most of the land included, and it is with regret that the Commissioners learned that their proposal to exchange some of the reserves for more suitable Crown lands could not be entertained. The greater part of the income consists of royalties on timber, and a personal inspection of several reserves by a committee obtained information that warrants the expectation

OTAGO. Sib, — Education Beserves Office, Dunedin, 30th May, 1903. In conformity with Order in Council of the 15th December, 1878, and in obedience to circular from your Department dated the 13ch November last, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners for the Otago Provincial District for the year ended the 31st December, 1902. During the year twelve meetings were held, which, with one exception, were attended by the whole of the Commissioners. In the course of the year the Commissioners leased eighty-four sections for agricultural purposes, nine sections for pastoral purposes, and forty township sections in various parts of the provincial district. The area of the agricultural land was 4,937 acres, leased to sixty-five tenants at £801 10s. 9d. per annum, or an average of about 3s. 3d. per acre; the area of the pastoral land was 3,628 acres, leased to five tenants at £98 9s. per annum, or about per acre; and the area of the township sections was 9 acres 3 roods 25 perches, leased to thirty-seven tenants at £50 7s. 6d. per annum. The Commissioners' rent-roll now contains 871 tenants. During the year the sum of £5,430 18s. was received in repayment of loans, and £10,500 was advanced on mortgage at 4f per cent, interest. Of the amount shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as arrears of rent, &c, on the 31st December, 1902, the sum of £1,788 Is. 4d. has since been collected. As already stated in previous reports, the rents are debited half-yearly in advance; a great number of them, however, are not paid until after harvest in the following year, and can hardly be considered as being in arrear. In reference to amounts of £1,401 13s. 2d. and £26 os. 6d., shown in statement as expenses of management, I would explain that £51 16s. 9d. appears on the other side of the account under the following heads—viz., cash received for preparing leases by the Commissioners' office staff, £38 55.; insurance premiums collected from tenants, £1 15s. 9d.; office-rent, £10; and refund of legal expenses, £1 16s. —and should be deducted from the expenses of management. A considerable proportion of the amount included in expenses of management—viz., £213 18s. 4d.—was expended in the permanent improvement of the endowments by tile-draining, and in grants to County Councils for roads and protective works. The sum of £124 4s. 7d. was paid to the Government for train fares, stamps, telegrams, Crown-grant fees, &c, £51 11s. 6d. of this amount representing the Commissioners' train fares attending monthly meetings in Dunedin. Deducting the foregoing amounts from £1,427 13s. Bd., the actual expense of management was £1,037 145., or £4 14s. 4d. per cent, on the money collected during the year. I desire to take this opportunity of stating that the School Commissioners, in deference to the wishes of the Government, have decided to in future submit the conditions under which they propose to lease education reserves for the approval of His Excellency the Governor prior to offering them for sale. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. D. Barron, Chairman.

(Circular.) Education Department, Wellington, 15th May, 1902. The Secretary to the Education Board, — With reference to the question of making provision for relieving teachers, I am directed to inform you that the Government has decided— 1. To refund to Boards, on approved claims, the amounts paid or payable to relieving-teachers for services rendered during the period from the Ist January to the 31st March, 1902. 2. To make to Boards from the Ist April, 1902, until the question is settled by the Legislature, a capitation allowance of sixpence (6d.) on average attendance, for the purpose of enabling them to make provision for such teachers. At your convenience please submit your claim on account of the first quarter of the year as above. It should contain full details, showing more particularly—(l) the period during which the relieving-teaeher was employed, (2) the amount of the salary paid, and (3) the salary, if any, paid to the teacher relieved. E. 0. Gibbbs, Assistant Secretary.

(Circular Memorandum.) Education Department, Wellington 28th May, 1902. The Secretary to the Education Board, — The Coronation of His Majesty King Edward VII. takes place on the 26th proximo, and the Government have under consideration the matter of making arrangements for the due observance of the event in the colony. It has been announced that His Majesty has expressed a wish that the school-children at Home should have a week's holiday, and the Minister proposes for the consideration of Education Boards that in honour of the memorable occasion they should give an extra week's vacation to the schools under their control, beginning on the day of coronation. The Minister would be exceedingly glad if your Board would adopt this proposal; and he hopes, from the fact that the usual mid-winter vacation falls about the end of June that little or no interruption of school-work will take place. G. Hogben, Secretary.

(Circular.) Education Department, Wellington, 7th June, 1902. The Secretary to the Education Board, —■ I am directed by the Minister of Education to inform you that Major L. W. Loveday has been appointed to command the public-school cadets of the colony, and to ask your Board to give this officer every assistance to carry out his duties. I send you some copies of the regulations relating to cadet corps, and will let you have what further copies you require for distribution among officers of corps. To enable the Minister to recognise the various public-school cadet corps in your district in terms of paragraph 6 of the regulations, I shall be glad if you will supply me with a list of the corps, giving the names of the officers for appointment by the Minister in terms of paragraph 10 of the regulations, and the proposed strength of each corps. As soon as the corps is recognised the requisite number of model and miniature rifles will be supplied for its use. The Minister will be prepared, generally speaking, to recognise officers holding appointments in school cadet corps previously in existence. Forms of return relating to this subject will be sent to you shortly. G. Hogben, Secretary for Education.

(Circular.) Education Department, Wellington, 22nd July, 1902. The Secretary of the Education Board, — Sib, —Referring to paragraph 24 of the Public-school Cadet Regulations, I am directed by the Minister of Education to suggest to your Board whether it would not be desirable to adopt similar uniforms for all the corps in your district subject to conditions: —(1) That where corps are already provided with different uniforms otherwise suitable any change should be postponed for the present; (2) that no corps should be compelled to provide its members with uniforms. The Minister suggests the uniform described in the attached slip as one that might be regarded as suitable for public-school cadet corps. In the event of your Board approving of the suggestion contained herein, I enclose a number of slips for issue to officers commanding corps and detachments. G. Hogben, Secretary.

(Enclosure.) Uniforms (if worn). For Officers. Feock. —Blue cloth with stand-up collar; plain cuffs; shoulder-straps of same material as frock ; rank-badges in metal; a patch-pocket on each breast; brass button on each pocket and shoulders; five down front of frock; buttons to bear the same design as capbadge. Trousers. —Of the same material as frock ; Jin. scarlet welt down outside seam. For Bank and File. Blue-woollen jersey, blue-cloth knickerbockers, and blue stockings. Head-dress (for all ranks). —Glengarry cap, with diced border. 15— E. 1.

The Secretary, Education Board, — Education Department, 23rd July, 1902. With reference to the renewal of the special grants made last year to Education Boards in respect of the maintenance of classes for teachers, I have to inform you that a further grant of £ has, subject to the observance of the conditions named below, been made to your Board. (1.) The grant is to be used solely for the purpose of establishing and of carrying on classes for pupil-teachers, teachers, normal students, and other public-school teachers in such subjects of manual and technical instruction as are prescribed for school classes by regulations under the Manual and Technical Instruction Act. (2.) Teachers are to be admitted to the several courses of instruction free of charge. (3.) Not more than 10 per cent, of the sum granted is to be used to meet expenses incurred in administering the grant. (4.) A statement showing how the grant has been disbursed is to be forwarded to the Department after the completion of the several courses of instruction. Classes established by Education Boards for the training of teachers in subjects of manual and technical instruction are special subjects, and as such are eligible for grants under the Act, provided that the conditions set forth in clauses 28 to 39 of the regulations under the Act are complied with. G. Hogbbn, Secretary for Education.

Education Department, Wellington, 6th September, 1902. (Circular Memorandum to Education Boards.) The North Canterbury Education Board has brought under the notice of the Department an inconsistency between section 10 of " The Education Boards Election Act, 1900," and the form of voting-papers prescribed by the schedule—viz., the difference between the words "posted to him not later than on that day," and the words "posted to him on that day." The Minister is advised that the directing words in the form cannot override the express words of the statute, and you are accordingly recommended to make the directions conform to the Act in all voting-papers printed by your Board. The matter is of importance, seeing that papers posted late on the last day might receive the postmark of the day following, and would in consequence have to be rejected. G. Hogben, Secretary.

Empire Day

The Government of New Zealand desires that in future the birthday of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria shall be known as " Empire Day," and hopes that steps will be taken by all school authorities throughout the colony to secure a suitable observance of the day. I have accordingly to suggest that at every school the children shall be assembled on the morning of Empire Day (which this year shall be deemed to be Monday, 25th May, as the 24th falls on Sunday), and that they shall salute the flag. This ceremony may be followed by a short address to the children reminding them of the privileges and duties of citizens of the Empire. The remainder of the day should be observed as a holiday. It is possible that in some cases the school authorities may see their way, by means of lectures, magic-lantern representations, music, and song, to draw the attention of the scholars attending their schools to matters of an Imperial and patriotic character. Education Department, Wellington, 4th May, 1903. G. Hogben, Secretary.
