1905. NEW ZEALAND.

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

Office of the Department of Education, My Lord,— Wellington, 18th August, 1905. I have the honour, in accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," to submit to Your Excellency the following report upon the progress and condition of public education in New Zealand during the year ending the 31st day of December, 1904. I have, &c, E. J. SEDDON. His Excellency the Right Hon. Baron Plunket, Governor of New Zealand.

BEPOKT. In this Report and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Report (E.-1a) on the certificate and other examinations, the Reports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), a Report on the Training of Teachers (E.-lc), and the Report on the Organization of the Public-school Cadets (E.-1d), is contained all the information that is of public interest with respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1904," and " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," and also all the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully treated of in separate papers, as follows : E.-2, Native Schools ; E.-3, Industrial Schools ; E.-3A, Costley Training Institution ; E.-4, School for Deaf-mutes ; E.-5, Manual and Technical Instruction ; E.-6, New Zealand University ; E.-7, University of Otago ; E.-8, Canterbury College ; E.-9, Auckland University College ; E.-10, Victoria College ; E.-11, Canterbury Agricultural College ; E.-12, Secondary Education ; E.-12A, Age-limit for Free Pupils ; E.-13, Public Libraries. Pupils in Public Schools. The average attendance during the year at all the schools throughout the colony, which in 1903 showed a falling-off of 664, rose to 116,506 in 1904, an increase for the year of 3,459. This is a greater increase than has been shown in any one year since 1894. The increase above the attendance during 1902 (113,711), the highest recorded previously, was 2,795. The increase in attendance has been fairly regular throughout the year, the falling-off in one quarter as compared with the other three, which was somewhat marked in the last few years, being much smaller. The attendance for the first quarter was 115,997; for the second, 116,214; for the third, 115,838; and for the last 117,965. It will therefore be seen that the falling-off in the third quarter was not more than might be expected for the winter months. I—E. 1.

TABLE A1.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1904. [Up to 1893 the average attendance is the "strict" average, after that year it is the "working" average.]

The average of the weekly roll-numbers shows a further increase for 1904, being 1,534 larger than in 1903. The figures for 1903 were 134,748, and for 1904, 136,282. The number on the roll at the end of the year likewise shows a considerable increase, being 135,475, or 1,907 more than the number enrolled at the end of 1903. There is also a very satisfactory improvement in the standard of regularity of attendance attained during the year, namely, 85"5 per cent., or I' 6 per cent, above that for 1903. This improvement, it may be noted, took place gradually throughout the whole year. In the first quarter the average daily attendance was 8507 per cent, of the average weekly roll-number, in the second quarter 8515 per cent., in the third quarter 85*38 per cent., and in the last quarter 86*36 per cent. A reference to the above table will show that, excepting the year 1893, when there was a falling-off of over 2 per cent., and the years 1899 and 1903, when there was a falling-off of 1 per cent., there has been an almost continuous improvement in regularity of attendance, until the colony has reached a percentage which compares favourably with that of the United Kingdom, or of any of the States of the Australian Commonwealth, so far as comparison can be made with those countries. Unfortunately, an exact comparison cannot be made with the United Kingdom, or Canada, or the Australian States (except Western Australia), as the average weekly enrolment is not there recorded. Taking, however, the net annual enrolment, according to the figures for 1904 as given in Whitaker's Almanac, the average daily attendance was, in England, 84*4 per cent. ; in Scotland, 85*2 per cent. ; in Ireland, 66*4. For Canada only the total enrolment is given in the reports of the several provinces, and the percentage of attendance thereon for 1903 was, in the Province of Quebec, 74*7, and in Ontario, 57*0. The latest figures available for the Australian States are those for 1903, according to which the percentage was, for New South Wales, 63*4 per cent. ; for Victoria, 67*0 per cent. ; for Queensland, 71 "7 per cent. ; for South Australia, 68*9 per cent. In Western Australia, it was 827 per cent, of the average weekly enrolment.. In Tasmania there is only available for comparison the average number on the rolls from month to month, of which the average daily attendance was 745 per cent. In Cape Colony the percentage of attendance to the average roll was 81 "9 for the year ending the 30th June, 1904. The increase in the average attendance was last year shown in the South Island districts as well as in those of the North Island. In 1899 the average attendance for

the South Island was 56,486 ; in 1900 this fell to 56,111 ; m 1901 to 55,358 ; a recovery in 1902 brought it up to 56,110, and a further fall in 1903 brought it down to 54,422. The increase of 1,061 for 1904 still leaves it 1,003 lower than it was m 1899. The position for last year is shown in the following table : —

TABLE A2.—Comparison of School Attendance, 1903 and 1904, North Island and South Island.

As will be seen from Table A 2, the greatest increase in the average daily attendance was in the Auckland District (803), the next being Wellington (660), and the third being Wanganui (524). These three districts also showed the greatest increases in 1903 The next largest increase was in North Canterbury (499), which was, in addition, the largest for the South Island. The calculation of the daily attendance according to the working average came into force in 1894. In that year, the attendance for the North Island was 46,830, and that for the South Island was 58,166. During the next five years there was an unbroken (but gradually diminishing) increase each year in the North Island, amounting altogether to 7,000. In the South Island, after an increase in the first two years of 1,515, there was a net fallmg-ofi of 1 670 ' During the subsequent five years the increase in the North Island was 7,193 and the falling-off in the South Island 1,003. For the whole decade the increase in the North Island was 30 per cent., and the decrease in the South Island 4 \ per cent., of the numbers in 1894. Table A3 shows the average attendance for the year in each of the education districts of the colony, and also the regularity of attendance of the pupils on the school rolls. „._ .„ n „„.„™ _ ia ™

As regards regularity of school attendance in the several parts of the colony, it will be seen that there has been an increase in all the districts except Grey, which, with 83 "1 per cent, of the average weekly roll, is the lowest. Otago, which has stood at the head of the list since 1901, maintains its position with the fine percentage of 88"6. South Canterbury, with 87"5 per cent., attained second place, and Westland third, with 87"4 per cent. Auckland, Wellington, and Hawke's Bay have the highest percentage of attendance in the North Island. The South Island shows a greater degree of regularity of attendance than the North, the respective rates being 865 per cent, and 84*6 per cent, of the average weekly roll. In 1903 the figures were 84"3 per cent, and 835 per cent, respectively.

Table A4—Children of Maori and Mixed Races attending Public Schools, December, 1904.

The number of children of Maori and mixed race (Table A 4) attending the public schools has increased during the year by 237 —namely, from 3,209 to 3,446 ; the number of such children in the Maori village schools was more by 28 in 1904 than it was in 1903 ; in the Maori boarding-schools there was an increase of 1. In the aggregate there were 7,020 children of Maori and mixed race receiving instruction last year, as against 6,754 the previous year —that is, there was a total increase of 266.

TABLE B.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1904.

Table B shows the age and sex of the pupils on the rolls of the public schools of the colony at the end of 1904 and the percentage of the roll at each age. In Table No. 2 in the Appendix will be found particulars of the age and sex of the pupils arranged for each of the education districts. The proportion of boys to girls is almost the same as for the previous four years —52 per cent, to 48 per cent. Taking the average for the last four years, it is found that for every 100 boys on the rolls of the schools there are 92 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 52 "4 and 47*6 of the roll-number. The increased proportion of older pupils is probably due to the larger number in the secondary classes of district high schools.

Inspection and Examination. Table Cl is a summary for the whole colony of Table No. 3 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 27-56 per cent, to 27"97 per cent. The proportions in classes S2, S4, and S6 have also increased. The other classes present a slight decrease.

TABLE C1.—Classification by Standards, December, 1904.

As remarked in previous reports, the number of children in the preparatory classes (37,897) certainly seems high when the total number of children under eight years of age (40,039) is taken into account. Unfortunately, the proportion of children in these classes, as will be seen from the above table Cl, shows a steady inclination to rise. In 1898 they formed only 24"52 per cent. of a the total roll-number. Last year the proportion had increased by 3"45 per cent., although the percentage of children under eight years old remained almost the same.

TABLE C2.—Examination Statistics for 1904.

Table C 2 gives the number of children on the rolls of the schools in each district and the number present at the time of the Inspector's annual visit, and also shows the numbers of certificates of proficiency and competency issued. In the Auckland and Wellington Districts no such certificates were issued ; they will bepissued in all districts this year (1905). Table C 3 shows the average ages of the children in the several standards at the time of the annual or examination visit in the different districts, and the mean of the average ages in each case, taking the colony as a whole. The average age of those in Standard V., the " standard of exemption," was in Auckland, 12 years and 8 months, and in Taranaki and Westland, 13 years and 3 months, these being the lowest and highest respectively. For the colony the average age of the children in this standard in 1904 was 12 years and 10 months as against 12 years 11 months in 1903. With regard to the average age of passing Standard VI. the following paragraph extracted from last year's report may be here repeated : " The average age for

VI

passing Standard VI. is of importance at the present time in consequence of the discussion that is taking place with respect to the limit of age imposed by the regulations for free admission to secondary schools in the case of those whose only qualification is the holding of Standard VI. certificates of proficiency. The condition is that the candidate for a free place shall not be over fourteen on the 31st December preceding the date of his admission to the secondary school. The average age for passing this standard ranges from 13 years and 6 months in Auckland to 14 years and 2 months in Marlborough, the average age for the colony being, as it was last year, 13 years and 9 months, and there is therefore ground for the belief that competent children, for whom the privilege is mainly intended, are not likely to find the restriction interfere with their promotion to the secondary schools." Further reference to thisjquestion is made in the separate paper on Secondary Education (E.-12). The range in 1904 was the same, being from 13 years and 6 months in Auckland to 14 years and 2 months in Hawke's Bay, the average age for the whole colony being also the same—namely, 13 years and 9 months.

TABLE C3. —Average Age of Pupils in 1904 at the Time of Annual Visit.

In Table D is given the number of pupils receiving instruction in each subject of the syllabus. The most noticeable features are the further large increases in the numbers learning handwork, singing, and drill, the large increase in those learning composition, and the falling-off in those learning grammar, these changes being due to some extent to the new syllabus.

the classification in Table El. The substituted average authorised by clause la* of the regulations under the Education Act has been taken in all cases where the Boards decided to avail themselves of it. The number of small an average attendance not exceeding twenty shows a further increase of that of 1903. The number which was 527 in 1903 was 555 last year. The number of pupils attending these schools has increased by 181—namely, from 6,632 to 6,813.

TABLE E2. —Average Attendance for the Year 1904 at the Schools as grouped in Table E1.

During the year 1904 40 schools were closed—viz., in Auckland, 11 ; Wanganui, 3 ; Wellington, 4 ; Hawke's Bay, 1 ; Marlborough, 7 ; Nelson, 4 ; Westland, 2 ; North Canterbury, 4 ; Otago, 3 ; and Southland, 1. As was the case in 1903, several of these schools, although reckoned as closed in their original form, were reopened in another; thus some were amalgamated together whilst others which had been joined as half-time schools became full-time. Including such reopened schools, the total number opened during the year was 84, distributed as follows : Auckland, 18 ; Taranaki, 3 ; Wanganui, 16 ; Wellington, 6 ; Hawke's Bay, 10 ; Marlborough, 8 ; Nelson, 5 ; Grey, 1 ; North Canterbury, 3 ; South Canterbury, 3 ; Otago, 5 ; and Southland, 6. The net increase in the number of schools open at the end of the year is thus 44, as shown in Table El. Public-school Teachers. In December, 1904, there were employed on the primary staffs in the public schools of the colony 3,718 teachers ; of these, 3,069 were adults and 649 pupilteachers : the corresponding numbers for December, 1903, were 2,996 adults and

* The clause in question is as follows : " la. If the average attendance at any school for any quarter is less than two-thirds of the average weekly roll-number for such quarter, or is such as to place the school in a grade lower than that in which it would be placed by the mean of the average attendances for the other three quarters of the year, or if there be in any quarter less than thirty half-days on which the average attendance is at least half the number of the children on the roll, then, in the calculation of the yearly average attendance, there may, at the option of the Board, be substituted for the average attendance for such first-named quarter either the average attendance for the corresponding quarter of the preceding year or the average attendance for the quarter ending 31ft December of the preceding year, and the average attendance thus found shall be in lieu of the yearly average attendance as defined in clause 1 hereof." It is believed that the effect of this has been very beneficial in avoiding hardship in regard to fall of teachers' salaries and allowances, and of other grants, in cases where the attendanoe has suffered on aocount of an epidemic, bad weather, or other temporary cause.

699 pupil-teachers. Of the adult teachers at the end of 1904, 1,272 were men and 1,797 were women; of the pupil-teachers, 144 were male and 505 female. The number of adult male teachers was} ; 2 more, and of adult female teachers 71 more, than in December, 1903; and the number of male pupil-teachers was 3 less, and of females 47 less, than at that period. Most, in fact nearly all, of the pupil-teachers displaced, except those leaving voluntarily, have during the year received appointments as assistant teachers. The average number of children to one teacher for the year 1904 was 31 3.

TABLE F1.—School Staff, December, 1904.

In addition to the teachers shown in this table, several Boards employed relieving-teachers, whose numbers and rates of salary are given in Table 1 in the Appendix. The last column of Table Fl shows the number of pupils per teacher for all schools, the difference in the numbers in the several districts being chiefly due to the larger or smaller number of schools in grades 0 to 3 in proportion to those in higher grades. In the district high schools there were 63 special assistants, most of whom were employed in the secondary departments of those schools. If we deduct the pupils in those departments from the total average attendance, we find that the average number of pupils receiving primary instruction (including those in S7 in public schools other than district high schools) was 30*7 per teacher.

In the United States, on the 30th June, 1903, there were 280 female teachers employed in the common schools to every 100 males. (Five years previously there were only 210 females to each 100 males ; while in 1879-80 the figures were 133 to 100). These figures, taken in conjunction with those in column 6of the above table, will probably be of special interest at the present time, as they show the number of women employed as teachers in elementary schools for every hundred men so employed in the principal English-speaking countries of the world. In England and America the proportion of women to men among the adult teachers is very much higher than it is in any of the other countries named ; in the Province of Quebec, indeed, it is as high as seven to one. The numerical predominance of women in the p-ofession is also more marked in South Australia, Cape Colony, and Tasmania than in New Zealand ; the four remaining States of Australia show, on the other hand, a smaller proportion of women, the male teachers being in the majority in New South Wales and Victoria. The increased ratio in New Zealand, from 136 women per 100 men in 1903 to 141 women per 100 men in 1904, is due entirely to the fact that the number of mistresses has increased from 1,726 to 1,797, while the number of male teachers has remained nearly stationary, 1,272 as against 1,270. The proportion of male pupil-teachers to female pupil-teachers, which rose from the ratio of 1 to 4*22 in 1902 to a ratio of 1 to 376 in 1903, shows a still further rise in 1904, the figures being Ito 351. (In 1892, the ratio was Ito 3*05). In other words, while the number of female pupil-teachers in 1904 was 47 less than in the previous year, the number of male pupil-teachers was about the same in the two years (144 as against 147). Whatever may be the opinion held as to the effect upon the schools of the relative numbers of adult men and women engaged in teaching, there is probably no room for doubt that the continued steady reduction of the proportion of pupil-teachers to adults is a mark of progress. The total number of adult teachers employed in December, 1904, was 3,069, and of apprentices 649, being 73 more and 50 less respectively than in the previous year. The average number of pupils to each adult teacher, reckoning two pupilteachers as one adult, was 34*3. The total of all salaries and allowances at the rates paid at the end of the year was £418,635 os. 6d. This includes the salaries and lodging-allowances of pupilteachers as well as all salaries, house-rent, and other allowances paid to adult teachers ; the average salary per teacher, including pupil-teachers, was therefore £112 lis. lid. A fairer idea could probably be gained by excluding pupil-teachers, and by deducting all allowances in the case of adult teachers ; it is then found that the average net salary adult male teacher was in December, 1904, £170 4s. 2d. ; average salary per woman teacher, £93 Bs. Bd. ; average salary for all adults, £125 ss. lOd. per teacher. The Act of 1904, which came into force on the Ist January, 1905, raised these average salaries respectively to £175 for men, £96 for women, and £129 per adult teacher. Table F3 gives the numbers of certificated teachers in the public schools, exclusive of those engaged in secondary schools or as special assistants in district high schools. The increase of the number of uncertificated teachers is, unfortunately, greater, both relatively and absolutely, than the increase of certificated teachers; but it should be pointed out that the increase in the former is due chiefly to the larger number of those who have partially qualified for certificates, but have not yet completed all the conditions, rather than to any increase in the number of teachers without any specific qualifications. The latter, it may also be said, are to a great extent employed in small schools with ten pupils or less in average attendance. It may be desirable to limit in some way the facilities for obtaining licenses to teach, as the conditions now obtaining seem to encourage candidates to abstain from completing the course required to gain certificates. The scale of staff prescribed by the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act of 1901 led to the diminution of the number of pupil-teachers and a corresponding increase in the number of adult teachers ; the supply of certificated teachers in the colony being, however, less than the demand for new adult teachers, it was inevitable that a certain number of uncertificated teachers should for a time be appointed to fill the vacancies. The shortage still exists ; but it is hoped that, when all four training-colleges are at work, the proportion of uncertificated teachers will be considerably reduced.

TABLE F3.—Teachers, Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1904.

In January, 1905, 151 teachers not previously certificated passed the examinations conducted by the Department. Full particulars are given in the report of the examinations (E.-1a). School Buildings. The ordinary vote for school buildings, which for the year 1904-5 was charged entirely to the Consolidated Fund, was distributed, as in the previous- year, in accordance with the report of the Select Committee on Education set up by the House of Representatives in the session of 1903, namely, as follows :— (a.) The basis for the distribution of the amounts available for the ordinary repair and maintenance of schools and residences (including replacement of wornout buildings) was the present current cost of the construction of such buildings, estimated to be £1,383,868 (£1,244,859 for wooden buildings and £139,009 for those of brick or stone). (b.) The grants to Boards included an allowance for maintenance of wooden buildings at the rate of 3 per cent, of the cost of construction; for maintenance of brick or stone buildings, 2 per cent. ; for replacing worn-out wooden buildings, 2, 5, or 10 per cent, according to age of buildings — twenty to twenty-five years, twenty-five to thirty years, or over thirty years, as the case may be ; except that no allowance wasjnade for the replacement of worn-out residences. It will be seen that the grants made'for replacing worn-out wooden buildings (exclusive of residences) assume an average age for such buildings of thirty-six and a half years, or rather less than the duration shown by returns made by the Boards two years ago, the difference thus being in favour of the Boards, for by the time a school was thirty-six and a half years old, a Board would have received an amount for rebuilding it equal to the whole cost of its replacement. (c.) None of the money allotted for the maintenance and replacement of school buildings was to be expended in building schools in new districts ; but a Board might, if it thought fit, use not more than 7 per cent, of its ordinary building grant for the purpose of making small alterations and additions, which were limited in the case of any one school to 400 square feet of floor-space. There is some doubt whether in all cases this condition (c) is being strictly complied with. The actual distribution of the ordinary vote for school buildings was as follows : —For maintenance and replacement—Auckland, £11,283; Taranaki, £1,766; Wanganui, £4,110 ; Wellington, £4,487 ; Hawke's Bay, £3,223 ; Marlborough, £902 ; Nelson, £2,823 ; Grey, £828 ; Westland, £1,034 ; North Canterbury, £8,106 ; South Canterbury, £2,480 ; Otago, £8,790 ; and Southland, £4,305 : total, £54,137. For rent —Taranaki, £35 10s. ; Hawke's Bay, £95 ; total, £130 10s. Total amount distributed, £54,267 10s. For the purpose of replacing schools and school property damaged or destroyed by fire, £475 was paid to Auckland, £1,062 6s. Id. to Taranaki, £367 19s. 9d. to Wanganui, £240 to Marlborough, £372 16s. to Nelson, £106 to South Canterbury, £30 10s.

to Otago, and £188 to Southland: total, £2,842 lis. lOd. The basis of the payments for the reinstatement of buildings destroyed by fire was for buildings not over twenty years old, the full cost at present current rates ; and for other buildings, the same, less the amount which the Government is presumed to have paid towards their rebuilding (included in the ordinary grants for maintenance and replacement, as explained above). Special grants for additions to schools, rendered necessary by increased attendance, and for new school buildings, were made as follows : —Additions—Auckland, £3,064 17s. Bd. ; Wanganui, £108 13s. ; Wellington, £765 ; Hawke's Bay, £200 ; Westland, £50 ; Otago, £1,450 ; Southland, £1,058 16s. 6d. : total, £6,697 7s. 2d.

Finances op Education Boards. Table G is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Boards of Education for the year 1904. These are tabulated in detail on pages 6 and 7 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 70 and following pages. Comparing the figures in Table G with those for the previous year we find that the expenditure on teachers' salaries was £406,303 Bs. 2d., as against £409,673 12s. sd. In the latter amount, however, was included the payment for relieving-teachers, as it was impossible to show it separately, as many of the Boards kept no separate account. AddingHhe expenditure on this head to the former figures, the decrease for 1904 is found to be about £803. It must be remembered, however, that until the end of 1903 the Boards were allowed, under the Public School Teachers' Salaries Act, to retain teachers and pay salaries provided for by the Boards' scales although in excess of the statutory scale. By the end of 1903, it is believed, that nearly all cases of hardship which might have resulted from the expiry of this proviso in the Act were avoided by the transfer of teachers affected to other positions. The Act of last session will, it is anticipated, cause an increase in this item of about £12,000, in addition to that created by the increase in the number of schools and in the average attendance. The expenditure on the incidental expenses of schools increased by £992, in addition to which the Committees received £4,254 from the capitation at ninepence provided by Government, so that the total increase on this head was £5,246. On scholarships and secondary education the increase in expenditure was £1,568. The Board's expenditure on scholarships, as will be seen from Table K2 was less by £290 than in the previous year ; £689 was provided by Government for National Scholarships, and the balance, £1,169 of the increase stated above, was expended on district high school staffs' salaries, &c. The expenditure on the training of teachers was more than three times as great as in 1903. On manual and technical instruction there was an increased expenditure of £3,254. The expenditure on buildings and house allowances, however, fell from £95,011 to £83,499, a decrease of £11,512. The net balances of all Boards at the end of the year showed an increase of £22,745 —only one Board having an overdraft. TABLE G.—Abstract of the Receipts and Expenditure of Education Boards, 1904.

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, 1904. The amount payable thereunder to the several Boards are, however, included in the assets of the Boards shown in Tables Hi and H2. [JTables Hi and H2 show the financial position as regards the General and Building' Accounts respectively on the 31st December, 1904; for the purpose of comparison the deficits and balances on 31st December, 1903, are also given. The General Accounts of the Boards continue to show rapid improvement, and it is evident that with careful and judicious management the statutory and other grants are not only sufficient to meet the present expenses, but would allow the expenditure of larger sums for the supply of apparatus to the schools. ""J At the close of the year 1903 five out of the thirteen Boards had deficits on] their General Account, amounting altogether to £4,696; at the end of 1904 three Boards—namely, Nelson, Grey, and North Canterbury—had deficits, amounting in all to £2,251 ; the total deficits have therefore been decreased by £2,445. Ten Boards had balances on 31st December, 1904, amounting in the aggregate to £16,721, as against eight Boards whose accounts were in credit in December, 1903,^with a total balance of £6,775, the increase in the credit balances being thus £9,946. The total amount of improvement during the year was therefore £12,391. All the Boards except Marlborough improved their position on the General Account during the year. Auckland, which increased its balance from £772 to £4,647, shows the greatest improvement, while Wellington, which changed a deficit of £1,518 into a credit balance of £824, comes next; Taranaki, Wanganui, Otago, and Southland show improvement amounting in each case to over £1,000. Marlborough, although it has a credit balance of only £177, as against a balance of £492 at the end of the previous year, is still on the right side. The respective amounts of improvement shown by the twelve Boards that have improved their position with regard to the General Fund are: Auckland, £3,875 ; Taranaki, £1,085 ; Wanganui, £1,006 ; Wellington, £2,342 ; Hawke's Bay, £615 ; Nelson, £7 ; Grey, £21 ; Westland, £194 ; North Canterbury, £593 ; South Canterbury, £291 ; Otago, £1,206 ; Southland, 1,471. On the Building Account all the Boards but two show an excess of assets over their liabilities. Of these two, Wellington, though still having a deficit of £994, has improved its position by £1,168 during the year, while Auckland has converted a balance of £3,573 into a deficit of £3,900. It would be misleading to make a comparison between the different districts under this fund, unless the number of buildings to be rebuilt in the near future were shown as well as the state of the Building Fund ; for instance, it is obvious that a Board which has to rebuild several schools during this year or next should show a sufficient balance to the credit of its Building Fund. The percentage of the several Boards' income expended on administration including in this term all the items which are included under that heading in Table G—viz., salaries of office staffs, Inspectors, Truant Officers, &c, and the ordinary office contingencies—but excluding the incidental expenses of schools, was as follows : North Canterbury, 4*o ; Hawke's Bay, 4 - 2; Wellington, 4*6 ; Auckland, 4'B ; Otago, s'l ; Wanganui, 5*3 ; Southland, 54; South Canterbury, 5*7 ; Nelson, 6-2 ; Taranaki, 63 ; Westland, B*7 ; Marlborough, 96 ; Grey, 100.

Training of Teachers. The increased grants to training-colleges voted by Parliament last year have enabled the two existing institutions at Christchurch and Dunedin to reorganize their staffs and to bring their work more into accord with modern ideas. The number of students has also largely increased, the number attending during the present year (1905) being nine men and ninety-six women, a total of 105. The establishment of the two other colleges proposed in the report of the parliamentary Committee, at Auckland and Wellington respectively, has been authorised, so that at the beginning of next year there will be four such colleges, one in connection with each of the four university colleges. The demand for teachers in the colony is still so great that for some time to come probably many ex-pupil-teachers will accept appointments without going to the training-colleges at all. Nevertheless, it may be confidently stated that the advantages of a thorough training, such as cannot be obtained in the course of apprenticeship, are so obvious and the allowances and privileges to students so liberal that before long the four institutions will in all likelihood have their full complement of teachers in training. The regulations gazetted during the present year extend still further the grants and other benefits set forth in the circular of February, 1904. Provision is made in connection with each training-college for a normal or practising school, which is to include, besides the ordinary classes of a public elementary school, a model " country " school of forty children, and a secondary department; the former will enable teachers to be trained in what is one of the most difficult tasks a teacher has to undertake—the proper management, single-handed, of forty children o various ages from five to fifteen, at various stages of mental development. The secondary department will give an opportunity for training those who intend to take up secondary work either in the high schools or in the upper departments of district high schools. Students will take English and other non-special subjects at the university college, but they will attend lectures in the methods of teaching and in the history and principles of education at the training-college. Every one will be required to take up practical work in at least one branch of science, special attention being directed to nature-study and elementary agriculture. Handwork suitable for schools will also receive due attention ; and concurrently with all this there will be frequent teaching practice in the normal school. The salaries offered for the staff of the training-colleges are, it is hoped, high enough to attract persons of good standing and experience. A pupil-teacher in any education district who has satisfactorily completed his term of service may enter at the training-college most convenient for him, the course being two years ; he will receive, in addition to the amount of university-college fees, the sum of £30 a year if he lives at home, and £60 a year if he is compelled to live away from home

in order to attend the college. Advantages not quite so great are also offered to other qualified candidates who have not been pupil-teachers. Others" again may be admitted for shorter or longer periods, although they may have been for some time engaged in the practice of their profession. The total cost of the four colleges when all are full and in working-order will be from £20,000 to £22,000 ; these figures, however, include the cost of teaching 1,600 to 1,800 children, whose instruction would otherwise have to be provided for. The grants for the instruction of teachers in the subjects of handwork recognised in "|school classes " under the manual and technical instruction regulations were renewed last year, and seem generally to have been wisely used by the Boards. It might, however, be seriously considered whether, now that so many of the teachers have been trained in wood-work and cookery, the time has not arrived for devoting the bulk of the grants to the encouragement of the teaching of elementary agriculture and of nature-study in its relation thereto. Such a step is needed both in the immediate interests of the children in the schools and as leading naturally to technical agricultural education after they have left the elementary schools to engage in farming pursuits. The amount provided during 1904 for the training of teachers was £12,966, made up as follows : Salaries of staffs of training-colleges (two), £3,509 ; allowances to students, £2,188; grants for special instruction in handwork, £1,853; grants for general purposes of training-colleges, £900 ; railway fares of teachers in training and instructors of training-classes established by Boards, £4,516. 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 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 in the public schools of the colony at the end of the year was 119,624. The term " drill " here must be taken to include physical and disciplinary exercises. The report of the Officer Commanding the Publicschool Cadets forms an Appendix (E.-Id) to this report. There were on the 30th June, 1905, 246 cadet corps, with a strength 0f|12,524 members, 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: Auckland, 52 ; Taranaki, 9 ; Wanganui, 26 ; Wellington, 30 ; Hawke's Bay, 32 ; Marlborough, 5 ; Nelson, 12 ; Grey, 7 ; Westland, 3 ; North Canterbury, 16 ; South Canterbury, 9 ; Otago, 37 ; Southland, 8 : total, 246. The number of battalions formed was 25. The number of models on issue to the Boards at the end of the year was 11,450, and of miniature rifles 900. At the end of the year the companies in the North and South Islands respectively competed for two challenge shields presented by the Government. The conditions were that the competing squad should consist of ten cadets, all belonging to the same company or detachment; each company to have seven shots at 100 yards (lying), 150 yards (sitting), and 200 yards (kneeling), the local used in each case. The North Island shield was won by the Terrace (Wellington) Cadet Company, with a score of 711, and the South Island shield by the Oamaru North Cadet Company, also with 711 out of a possible 840. Owing to the fact that most of the teachers now in the service of the Boards have received a course of training in military drill, the attendance at the special classes held for this purpose in the several districts has gradually declined, and the classes have accordingly been suspended for the present. If the students of the four training-colleges receive sufficient instruction in physical and military drill while attending the colleges it will probably be sufficient in future if, in addition to this provision, a small number of supplementary classes are held from time to time in various parts of the colony.

In 1904 £6,322 9s. 4d., made up as follows, was paid for conveyance of schoolchildren—viz., railway fares of pupils attending public schools, £2,335 10s. ; of pupils attending private schools, £1,094 10s. ; of pupils attending district high schools, £926 ; of pupils attending secondary schools, £1,356 ; and of holders of technical scholarships, £442 ; grants for conveyance of children by road and water —to Auckland Education Board, £26; Wellington Board, £3 15s. ; North Canterbury Board, £6 9s. 4d. ; and Otago Board, £132 ss. Chatham Islands. During the year 1903, there were six schools open at the Chatham Islands. Of these, a half-time school at the southern end of the island (Ohinemama) and the small school formerly conducted on Pitt Island were closed during the year 1904, and there remained, therefore, four schools in operation. The children formerly attending the half-time school above referred to now attend the main school at Te One ; but Pitt Island is still unprovided for, owing chiefly to the difficulty in getting a suitable teacher to face the isolation that attends the place, and the children living at Ouenga are still instructed by their parents. • -The Chatham Island schools now comprise (1) Te One, the main school in the centre of Chatham Island ; (2) Moreroa, a part-time school about five miles north of Te One ; (3) Matarakau and (4) Kaingaroa, two small part-time schools worked with Moreroa and situated on the northern shore of the island. At Te One school there is a certificated teacher in charge, and under him are two pupil-teachers now in their third year. The other schools are managed by an itinerant teacher, the time spent at each school being proportional to the number of children. The total number on the rolls of all the schools at the end of 1904 was 93, an increase of 4 over last year, and the average attendance was 72, as against 69 in the previous year. The total expenditure in these schools was £679 19s. 10d., made up as follows : Salaries and allowances of teachers, £492 3s. 7d. ; school furniture, requisites, &c, £52 16s. 3d.; passage-money of teachers and^,families, £21 10s.; inspection, £27 135.; scholarships, 85 17s. During the year a new school building was erected at Te One, and it is reported to be satisfactory in every respect. It is gratifying also to note that the attendance there shows an increase and is very regular. ] ;The schools were inspected and examined in January of this The Acting-Inspector reported very favourably indeed on their ; efficiency,f as 'i regards both the methods and the quality of the instruction given,|and on had been effected during'lthe year. It may be added that these schools are examined under the regulations for the examination of public schools now in force in New Zealand, and thatr,eight' certificates.of proficiency in Standard VI. were granted, the average age of those to whom the certificates were issued being 14 years 3 months.

The pup i-teachers were also examined, and, on the whole, did creditably. Their next examination will be held under the new regulations for pupil-teachers in New Zealand schools. The second examination for the Chatham Island Scholarship (which is of the value of £40 per annum, and tenable for three years in a New Zealand secondary school), was also held in January, 1905, with the result that the scholarship was awarded to Bessie Seymour, who is now attending Nelson Girls' College. The Nativeschool scholarship was awarded to a Maori boy, who is now attending Te Aute College. Education Beserves.

The payments made to Education Boards for primary education out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1904 amounted to £44,114 10s. 7d. The revenues of the Boards are not, however, increased thereby, as equal amounts are deducted from the grants payable by the Government to the Boards.

Otago, £8,097 6s. sd. ; Southland, £3,417 12s 2d. The payments for secondary education from reserves under the control of the School Commissioners amounted to £5,176 Is. 3d. Under sectionjl7 of "The Secondary Schools Act, 1903," the revenues derived from reserves set apart for secondary education are to be "harded over by the Commissioners to the governing bodies of secondary schools in the provincial district in proportion to the number of pupils in average attendance at the several secondary schools, exclusive of the pupils in any preparatory department." The following tahle shows the total income from education reserves for the ten years 1894-1903, and the cost of adminstration by the School Commissioners for the same period, which it will be seen averages 676 per cent.: —

Industrial Schools. In December, 1904, the number on the books of all the industrial schools was 1,918, or 9 more than at the close of the year 1903. On the books of the Government Industrial Schools there were 1,387, an increase of 21 over the corresponding number for 1903, on the books of the private industrial schools there were 531, or 12 less than at the end of the previous year. The number in residence at Government schools was 299, and at private industrial schools 304, so that 603 was the total number of " inmates " actually in residence. The number boarded out was 548, 8 being from private schools and the rest from Government schools. There were 7 girls maintained in various corrective institutions, 2 girls in cottage homes, 3 boys at the School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner, and 9 boys at the Costley Training Institution, Auckland. The total number of inmates dependent on the schools for maintenance was therefore 1,172, or 37 more than the number at the end of 1903. The remaining 746, although still subject to control and supervision of the schools, were not dependent on them for maintenance. They may be classified as follows : Licensed to reside with friends, 178; at service, 494 ; in hospital, 4 ; in lunatic asylum, 5 ; in the Costley Training Institution, Auckland, 3 ; in other institutions, 15 ; in gaol, 3 ; absent without leave, 44—namely, 29 from service, 13 from the schools, and 2 from friends. There were six Government industrial schools in existence in 1904, and the numbers of inmates on their books at the end of the year were as follows :—Auckland, 135; Receiving Home. Wellington, 195 ; Receiving Home, Christchurch, 236 ; Burnham, 231 ; Te Oranga Home, 63 ; Caversham, 527 : total, 1,387. Those belonging to private industrial schools were distributed as follows: —St. Mary's, Auckland, 135 ; St. Joseph's, Wellington, 69 ; St. Mary's, Nelson, 280 ; St. Vincent de Paul's, Dunedin, 47 : total, 531.

The number of inmates who during 1904 ceased to be under the control of industrial schools was 182. Of these 129 were discharged by warrant, 40 reached twenty-one years of age, 5 were married, and 8 died. Of this total 132 were of good character, 6 fair, and 10 bad; 4 were weak-minded, 11 were missing, 12 were discharged under fifteen years of age (3 of whom were adopted), 6 under that age died, and 1 was sent to a school under a misapprehension. The number of deaths (8) shows a decrease of 5 on the number for the previous year The medical certificates show that of the three inmates who were in residence at the time of death, 1 died of meningitis, 1 of heart disease and tubercular pneumonia, and 1 of rheumatic fever and pneumonia. One boarded-out child died, the cause of death being syphilis. Two inmates died in the hospital, one from erysipelas and the other from cardiac failure. One infant died in a nursing-home of atrophy, and one girl died with friends of tuberculosis of lungs and asthma. The number of admissions during the year (191) shows a decrease of 40 from the number for 1903. Of these 31 were sent from Dunedin, 44 from Wellington, 28 from Auckland, and 37 from Christchurch. Of the remaining 51 children, no one town sent more than 6 to the schools. From information taken from the 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, 80 ; Roman Catholic, 58 ; Presbyterian, 38 ; Methodist, 14 ; and Baptist, 1.

TABLE J2.—Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1904.

At the end of 1904 there was in the Post Office Savings-Bank on account of the earnings of inmates of Government industrial schools a sum of £14,055 14s. lid., and on account of inmates of private industrial schools £3,312 19s. 6d. For inmates of Government schools a sum of £1,755 6s. Bd. was withdrawn during the year, and for inmates of private schools £70 13s. In Table J3 is shown the cost of the Government schools, in which is included the expenditure for the maintenance of inmates bcjarded 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.

School for Deaf-mutes. The new building is not yet out of the hands of the Public Works Department, the electric-lighting plant having still to be installed and several small works to be finished. These operations, however, are being pushed forward energetically, and it is hoped that the building will be quite ready for occupation by the end of the year. The sum expended during the year upon the new building was £3,157 (is. : d. In 1903 the amount was £8,494 3s. 9d. Three boys and 3 girls left the school during the year, and 5 boys and 2 girls were admitted. At the end of the year the number in residence was 36 boys and 29 girls, 2 boys more and 1 girl less than at the end of 1903. The ordinary expenditure on the institution for the year 1904. was : Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,819 155.; steward, matron, and servants, £759 9s. 9d.; rent, £140; housekeeping, £934 16s. Bd.; travelling-expenses (including transit of pupils), £175 3s. lOd.; school material and material for technical instruction, £3 Bs. 3d.; general maintenance of buildings and furniture, £80 10s. 7d.; clothing, £41 4s. 3d.; medical attendance and medicine, £30 6s. ; water-supply, £38 15s. 6d.; sanitation, £26 15s. 6d.; boarding-out of pupils, £259 14s. lid.; sundries, £110 os. 2d. : total expenditure, £4,411 os. sd. Deducting recoveries, parents' contributions, £360 7s. 3d., the net expenditure was £4,050 13s. 2d. The amount expended in 1903 was £4,096 9s. lid. Two deaf-mute children who, 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; and one child was under the charge of a private teacher in Auckland, to whom a fee of £20 was paid by the Department. Institute for the Blind. The Jubilee Institute for the Blind, at Auckland, is a private institution, and not in any way under Government control. Being, however, a " separate institution " under the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Acts 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 received, at various times, other grants in aid of buildings. The total amount paid on account of Government pupils during the year 1904 was £428 12s. lOd. The Department also paid £28 for the separate tuition of a pupil in Christchurch ; £102 10s. was recovered from parents and others. The number of Government pupils at the end of 1903 was 22 ; 2 of these left during the year 1904, and 4 were admitted ; the number of such pupils at the close of the last year was accordingly 24. Native Schools. The number of Maori village schools in operation at the end of 1904 was 100. The number of children on the rolls of these the 31st December, 1904, was 3,754, as against 3,693 at the end of the preceding year. There is thus in the number of children a slight increase, which would have been considerably greater had all the schools been working. The average attendance was 3,084, as against 3,012 in 1904, the regularity of the attendance being 81 per cent., which may be considered as satisfactory. In addition to the village schools there are the four mission schools that are usually examined and inspected by the Department at the request of their controlling authorities. There are also five boarding-schools, established by the authorities of various churches in New Zealand, which furnish at present the only means available of affording higher education specially for Maori boys and girls. The total number of Native schools is thus 110. It may not be altogether out of, plac ; here to correct a common impression that the work of the Native schools does not extend further than the Third or Fourth

E.-l

XXII

Standard. Reference to the Native schools code will show that the children may be taught up to the Sixth Standard of public schools, the requirements being practically the same, and, from the tables attached to the Inspector's report (printed in E.-2), it will be seen that during the past year 36 passed Standard VI. and 83 passed Standard V. It is quite possible that the passing of a standard of education higher than the Fourth may not be of much material benefit to the average Maori boy, but he may avail himself of the opportunity if he wishes to do so, and European children attending Native schools are under no disability. The advance in degree of efficiency of Native schools generally has rendered it imperative that, wherever possible, only persons having experience as teachers, or certificated teachers, shall be selected to fill vacancies. The difficulty of getting teachers so qualified led to the temporary closing of some of the Native schools, Whakarara and Whareponga being unfortunately closed for the whole year. These have now (1905) been reopened. Te Pupuke School, closed owing to the exodus of the parents and children to the gumfields, has also since been reopened at the request of the people, who have now returned to the kainga, and at the time of writing there are no vacant schools in the service. The school formerly erected at Tapuaeharuru, near Rotoiti, was removed to a more convenient site, and reopened at Wai-iti, by which name it is now known. The Te Rawhiti School at Kaingahoa, Bay of Islands, was opened in September quarter, and Oruanui, Taupo, was to begin its operations with the New Year. Of the other schools decided upon Mangorongo, King Country, and Waitahanui, Taupo, should be ready early in 1905, and Waimarama, Hawke's Bay, somewhat later. The Inspector's report contains a list of the applications for new schools, with a note where possible upon the situation of each case. Satisfactory progress still continues to be made in handwork in Native schools. The workshops are, generally speaking, doing very satisfactory work, and are much appreciated in the districts where they are located. Two boys who had received training in the workshop attached to the village school have since been apprenticed, and are giving every satisfaction to their masters. The scheme for the establishment of a model kainga at Pamoana, Wanganui River, has been in abeyance during the year owing to the occurrence of unforeseen difficulties in connection with its working. At the five boarding-schools, St. Stephen's and Te Aute for boys, and Hukarere, St. Joseph's, and Victoria Schools for girls, the Government offers 113 scholarships, tenable for two years, for children of predominantly Maori race who pass the Fourth Standard at the Maori village schools. At the end of the year 91 of these places were occupied, 36 by boys, and 55 by girls. Maori children attending public schools who pass the Fifth Standard before reaching the age of fifteen may obtain allowances of £20 a year to enable them to attend a secondary school or to enter upon industrial pursuits. There are seven scholars receiving higher education and two boys serving apprenticeships under these conditions. The Department has during the year taken measures to secure an extension of the arrangements made for the training of Maori girls as nurses. The authorities of Napier and Wellington hospitals agreed to give their assistance in the matter, and there are now two probationers on the staff, one at each hospital, besides which the Napier Hospital Trustees admit two pupils as day-scholars. University scholarships are also offered to Maori youths of marked ability in order that, after matriculating from Te Aute College, they may enter one or other of the university colleges. At present scholarships are held by one Maori youth in medicine and by another in law. The Department still finds a certain amount of difficulty in obtaining suitable openings for boys that prefer apprenticeship to a trade to the ordinary scholarship. This difficulty may gradually diminish as the efficiency of the workshop training afforded at the village schools increases ; in fact, it is desirable that greater effort shall be made in the direction of manual training in the schools. Especially does this seem necessary in the case of Maori girls, many of whom do not care to leave the kainga for the secondary school, but would benefit immensely from a training in plain cookery and domestic economy. The qualifications for scholarships

E.—•l

XXIII

entitling Maori youths to secondary education, or to enter upon industrial pursuits, are the passing of Standard IV. of a Native school, or Standard V. of a' public school, the age-limit being fifteen years. Seven apprenticeship scholarships were held under these conditions during 1904. The total expenditure on Native schools during the year was £24,957, which includes £85 paid from Native school reserves funds and £2,000 from Civil List for Native purposes. Deducting £76 recoveries from various sources the result is a net cost of £24,881 for the year 1904, as against £28,679 for the previous year. Included in this sum is expenditure on new buildings and additions, £3,273 ; on secondary education (including boarding-school fees for holders of scholarships from village schools, apprentices, hospital-nursing scholarships, university scholarships, and travelling-expenses of scholarship-holders), £2,348 ; and on the model kainga at Pamoana, £125. The staff of the village schools included 71 masters, 20 mistresses in charge, 86 assistants, and 11 sewing-teachers. The masters received salaries ranging from £264 lis. lOd. to £91 ss. ; the headmistresses from £214 9s. 2d. to £80 Bs. lOd. ; the assistants from £50 to £8 17s. 3d. ; and the sewing-teachers from £11 15s. to £8. In one school the master and mistress work conjointly, the total salary being £301 6s. at the end of the year. It must be understood that the assistants and sewing-teachers are generally members of the teacher's family who give assistance for some part of the day's work. Of the 3,754 children attending Native schools 80*93 per cent, were Maori or nearly Maori, 837 per cent, were half-castes, and 1070 per cent, were Europeans or nearly so. Of the 3,446 children of Maori or mixed race attending the public schools 59*2 per cent, were Maori, 74 per cent, were of mixed race living as Maoris, and 33 "3 per cent, were of mixed race living as Europeans. The standard classification of pupils of Native schools at the end of the year was: Preparatory classes, 1,205, an increase of 159 over last year ; Standard L, 631 ; Standard 11., 719 ; Standard 111., 568 ; Standard IV., 373 ; Standard V., 159 ; Standard VI., 68 ; and passed Standard VI., 31. Manual and Technical Instruction. A review of the year's work shows that considerable progress has been made by controlling authorities throughout the colony in the direction of improving existing arrangements and providing additional facilities for instruction in subjects of technology and of manual training. is now no education district in which' some provision, more or less adequate, has not been made for such instruction, and there are indications that in those districts in which the movement is most recent the local authorities interested in the matter will have no reason to regard their efforts as other than encouraging. Where it has been found that there was a well-grounded demand for instruction, the Government has provided the necessary funds for the equipment and maintenance of classes, as well as for buildings where the circumstances rendered special accommodation necessary. In many cases, local bodies and others have shown their interest in the work in a practical manner by contributing to the funds of the classes. Coincident with this evidence of local effort is an increase in the number of associated classes, that is to say, classes for technical instruction conducted in conjunction with the controlling authority by managers representing the various contributing bodies. There is little reason to fear that classes established on these lines are likely to prove other than successful. The number of technical, continuation, and school classes recognised during 1904 was 2,599, as against 2,287 for the previous year. Of the classes for 1904, 2,001 were classes for handwork in connection with over 700 primary and secondary schools, while 598 were special, associated, or college classes for instruction in the several branches of pure and applied art and science, and in plumbing, carpentry and joinery, cookery, dressmaking, and commercial subjects. While the actual number of technical classes was not greatly in advance of that for 1903, the returns show a great increase in the average attendance at them. For 1903 the average attendance was about 6,300, and for 1904 about 13,700. Technical classes are held at about fifty different places.

X.—l

XXIV

In many of the public schools all the standards received instruction in some one or other of the branches of handwork. In several districts arrangements have been made whereby the older pupils in the city and suburban schools receive instruction in woodwork and cookery. During the year, 156 cookery classes and 129 woodwork classes were in operation, while, at the technological examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute, 102 public-school teachers passed the examinations in cookery and eighty-seven in woodwork. In only one education district were school classes for instruction in dairying established. Increased attention is being given to practical instruction in elementary agriculture in primary schools. During the year forty-seven classes in six education districts were working under the Act, as against thirty-six for 1903. It is to be regretted that there is not more evidence of a definite movement on the part of controlling authorities to arrange for the regular instruction in country districts of school-children, as well as of those who have left school, in subjects having a direct bearing on rural pursuits. With the co-operation and help of local bodies interested in agricultural and pastoral matters controlling authorities should be able to see their way to arrange for suitable courses at convenient centres. If the classes were brought under the Act, subsidy would be payable on the contributions of local bodies and others, and the classes would be eligible for capitation and for grants in aid of the necessary apparatus and material. The funds available from these and other sources, such as the fees of students, should suffice for the efficient carrying-on of the classes. As far as the training of the teachers of country schools is concerned, there would seem to be no reason why Education Boards should not devote a proportion of the grants they receive each year for the training of teachers in subjects of manual and technical instruction to the maintenance of training-classes in rural science. In the case of the smaller education districts co-operation on the part of the Boards should enable such classes to be placed on a satisfactory footing. There has been a considerable increase in the number of persons receiving free instruction under the regulations for technical scholarships. During the year 852 scholars received free instruction at ten technical schools. • In not a few cases definite courses of work have been entered upon, and there are indications that there will be a substantial increase next year, not only in the number of free scholars, but also in the number of technical schools giving free instruction along definite lines. The total expenditure on manual and technical instruction for 1904 was £27,425 Is. The details are as follows: Capitation on all classes, £11,801 12s. 6d. ; grants for buildings and equipment, £9,255 17s. 2d.; grants for material for class use, £798 6s. 9d.; subsidies on voluntary contributions, £1,175 10s. lOd.; technical training of teachers, £1,853 ; railway fares of instructors and students, £364 2s. 9d. ; expenses in connection with the examination of the Board of Education, South Kensington, and of the City and Guilds of London Institute, £518 12s. 4d.; inspection, £978 15s. 3d. £634 14s. 2d. ; sundries, £44 9s. 3d. The sum of £107 2s. 6d. was recovered by-way of examination fees and from sale of material used at examinations, leaving .a net expenditure of £27,317 18s. 6d. Secondary Education. The number of endowed secondary schools giving free tuition to all qualified pupils at the end of 1904 was twenty, and the number of pupils holding free places wis 1,595. There were besides about 387 holders of scholarships and exhibitions given by these schools, or by Boards of Education, or by the four endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions. Further, there were 2,291 qualified pupils receiving secondary education in the secondary classes of the district high schools, which numbered fifty-two. On the whole, therefore, the effect of recent legislation and the regulations thereunder has been to afford free secondary education for some 4,273 children from the primary schools, whereas at the end of the year 1901 the number was about 963. The total amount paid to Education Boards by Government for capitation on attendance at district high schools and for grants in aid thereof amounted to £10,130 19s. 2d., and, in addition, the claims for the last quarter had to be met. The amount expended by Boards was £12,257 lis. 2d,

Table K1.—Staff, Salaries, Attendance, and Payments at District High Schools.

The following table shows the number of Education Board scholarships held in December, 1904, with their tenure and annual value. The total expenditure of the Boards under this head amounted to £8,260 Is. 9d. The total paid to the Boards for scholarship purposes by the Department was £8,034 lis.

Table K2.—Number and Value of Education Board Scholarships.

The reports of the secondary schools (subsidised or endowed , and further details in regard to district high schools and Education Board scholarships, are given in a separate paper, E.-12. The income of these secondary schools for 1904 from school fees, not including fees for boarding, was about £28,595 ; from rents and interest, about £27,337 ; from endowment administered by the School Commissioners, about £4,711 ; and from fees and capitation paid by Government, about £9,323. The principal item of expenditure was for salaries—about £43,317. As the Mosely Commission reported, in regard to the secondary schools of the United States, that, though a marvellous amount of money is being spent on buildings and equipment, yet adequate salaries are not being paid to those who are giving the instruction, it may be of interest to make a comparison between the salaries paid in the two countries.

PUBLIC LIBEAEIES. By a vote of last session a sum of £3,000 was again granted for subsidies to public libraries. Notice thereof was inserted in the Gazette of the Ist December, 1904, and forms of application were sent to all libraries known to the Department. The method of distribution of the vote was the same as that adopted in previous years, as follows: A nominal addition of £25 was made to the amount of the income of each library derived from subscriptions, donations, and rates, provided that the receipts for the year were not less than £2, and the vote was divided according to the amount thus augmented; but no library received credit for a larger income than £75—that is, in no case did the augmented amount on which distribution was based exceed £100. In accordance with the Gazette notice, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the 6th February, 1905, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 411 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 Bs. 5-38 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £17 4s. 9d. to £4 13s. Some libraries supplied with the proper form failed to send in formal claims by the 30th January, 1905, the date fixed by the Gazette notice, and did not therefore participate in the vote. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows an increase of fifteen 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 : —

EXPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

[Details are in some cases omitted.] 4UCKLAND. Siß,— Auckland, March, 1905. In accordance with section 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," the Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1904 :— Board.—The members in office at the beginning of the year were : Messrs. L. J. Bagnall, F. Dye, G. Edgecumbe, H. J. Greenslade, A. R. Harris, R. Hobbs, S. Luke, C. J. Parr, and J. Stallworthy! The annual election in August resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Bagnall and Hobbs, Mr. J. D. McKenzie being elected to succeed Mr. Dye. Mr. Luke was elected in August to succeed Mr. Hobbs as Chairman. Twenty-four meetings of the Board were held with an average attendance of eight members. A committee consisting of all members meets on the day preceding each Board meeting to deal with finance and the selection of teachers. Schools.—There were 427 schools in operation at the end of the year, including 72 schools taught half-time. Every half-time school is taught three days a week. According to the Department's reckoning of two half-time schools as one school, the number is 391. There is still a tendency to increase the number of small schools in outlying districts. Several applications of the kind are now under consideration. Owing to the unformed condition of country roads, it is seldom practicable to take advantage of the provision made by Government for the conveyance of children to and from existing schools. Teachers.—The total number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 834 —368 males and 466 females. This number includes five relieving teachers and eleven teachers specially employed in district high schools. The proportion of male teachers is steadily growing, in spite of the meagre salary allowed them on entering the service as pupil-teachers. Several positions are still occupied by uncertificated teachers. The Board cordially approves of the action taken by Parliament at "its last session in providing a more liberal salary to the teachers of the smaller schools and in giving a larger salary to second assistant masters. The Board is glad to report that arrangements will soon be made for the establishment of a teachers' training-college. It is a matter for regret that no appropriation for buildings was made by Parliament at its last session, but it is proposed as a temporary arrangement to utilise the Wellesley Street School for the purpose. Attendances.—the roll number of scholars at the end of the year was 30,207, showing an increase of 949 above the number at the end of 1903. The average attendance increased from 25,114 to 26,107. The roll-number includes 1,783 Maori and half-caste scholars. The report of the Truant Officer snows that 159 prosecutions for breach of the School Attendance Act were conducted by him during the year, and that convictions were obtained in every case but one. Many parents have complied with the Act upon being notified by him ; and resort is had to prosecution only when other means have failed. Scholarships.—The number of district scholarships under tenure at the end of the year was 85— 27 seniors and 58 juniors. There were also five holders of Junior National Scholarships, and nine other scholarships were held by girls under special regulations dealing with a portion of the income derived from the Auckland Girls' High School endowment. The regulations regarding scholarships are under revision, with a view to bringing them into accord with the new syllabus and with the provisions of the Education Act relating to secondary schools. District High Schools.—Nine district high schools were in operation during the year. In these nine schools there were altogether 384 pupils receiving secondary instruction at the end of the year. The Board has received the promise of the Minister to authorise the establishment of two district high schools in the City of Auckland. Finance.—The receipts from all sources, including a balance of £1,593 Bs. 6d. brought forward from 1903, amounted to £138,376 15s. 9d., and the total expenditure was £138,727 6s. 4d., leaving a debit balance of £350 10s. 7d. at the end of the year. The Administration Account for the year shows a credit balance of £4,134 Bs. Id., as compared with £3,843 Is. 7d. at the end of 1903 The Building Account began the year with a debit balance of £2,249 13s. Id., and ended with a debit balance of £4,076 17s. The other balances at the end of the year were :on Manual and Technical Account £405 13s. lOd. in debit, and on secondary education, £2 7s. lOd. in debit. Buildings.—The ordinary grant was somewhat less than that for the preceding year. It is utterly inadequate to meet the numerous requirements of this extensive district. The wooden buildingsmany of them built of inferior timber nearly thirty years ago—need a large outlay for repairs and several must be rebuilt for the safety of the scholars and teachers. The Board does its best with the limited means at its disposal to cope with this difficulty; but the number of works which have to be postponed for want of funds is ever increasing, and a much more liberal grant will have to be made before they can be overtaken. Competent foremen are employed, under direction of the architect to carry out repairs and improvements and the inside and outside painting of school buildings.

E.—l

The Board has recorded its objection to the conditions impoded by the Department upon the expenditure of this grant, on the ground that they are inconsistent with the provisions of the Education Act, and that they fail to provide for necessary requirements. Thirty-two applications for special grants for buildings or enlarging schools or residences were made during the year. Of these, nine have been declined, thirteen have been granted in whole or in part, and the remaining ten are still in abeyance. Manual and Technical Education. —The report of the Director shows what has been accomplished during the year. Besides the work done in the Auckland Technical School, in the three manualtraining schools, and in the special classes held at the Kauaeranga School, Thames, fifty-nine schools have carried on instruction in handwork and sixteen in needlework. Swimming classes have been established in Auckland, and are largely attended by boys and girls of the town and suburban schools. Miscellaneous. —The Board and the public generally are deeply indebted to the personal interest which His Excellency Lord Ranf urly evinced at all times during his term of office as Governor in the public schools of this district. In May last His Excellency gave a sample lecture to illustrate a scheme propounded by him for the better teaching of British Imperial history to the scholars of the public schools of this colony. The Board trusts that before long some practical means may be devised of carrying the scheme into effect. Contributions towards the Battleship " New Zealand " Presentation Fund were invited from the schools of this district; and it is gratifying to note that a large number of children showed a laudable patriotism in responding to the appeal. The Board gratefully acknowledges the very valuable assistance which has been received from School Committees in the local management and supervision of school matters during the past year.

TARANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, 21st June, 1905 In accordance with the provisions of section 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," the Education Board of the District of Taranaki has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1904 :— The Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was comprised of the following members : E. G. Allsworth, Esq. (Chairman), Mrs. Jane R. Dougherty, Messrs. G. A. Adlam, Henry Faull, Arthur Morton, Joseph Mackay, M.A., D. H. McDonald, William Monkhouse, and James Wade. Messrs. Allsworth, McDonald, and Morton retired in the terms of section 31 of " The Education Act, 1904," and were returned unopposed. The Board held twelve ordinary meetings and one special meeting. In addition to a number of special committees, the following standing committees met regularly during the year, and besides relieving the Board of a vast amount of detail work devoted a close attention to the business that came before them —viz., Finance, Teachers' Selection, Reserves, and Sewing. Schools. —Three new schools were opened, and the West End School converted from an " infant " to a full " standard " school. Pupil-teachers.—At the annual examination 16 pupil-teachers entered, 14 of whom passed, and 2 failed. The papers were set and examined by the Department. Scholarships.—For senior scholarships there were 17 candidates, and for junior 15 candidates. Of the senior candidates 13 qualified, and of the junior 10. One National Scholarship was awarded to this district. Finance. —The receipts of the Board from all sources, including a balance of £524 Is. 9d. brought forward from 1903, amounted to £24,042 18s. lid., while the expenditure was as follows : Administration £1,505 7s. lid., schools £1,298 15s. 9d., secondary education £681 13s. Id., manual and technical £1,132 14s. 10d., buildings £3,442 6s. 4d., leaving a balance of £314 4s. lOd. against which are liabilities fully covering it. Buildings.—A new school has been erected at Punewhakau, and the Carrington Road and Huiakama Schools enlarged. New residences have been erected at Midhirst, Salisbury Road, and Ratapiko, and the Upland Road and Urenui residences have been enlarged. The Uruti School, destroyed by fire last year, and the Central School, which was seriously damaged by fire this year, have each been reinstated. Appointments, Transfers, etc. —There have been 39 appointments made during the year, besides temporary appointments and appointments of pupil-teachers ; 25 teachers from other districts received appointments, and 14 teachers in the service of the Board received transfers to their benefit. The Board has great difficulty in finding teachers for the small schools and assistants for schools that come under grades 4 and 5, there being so few pupil-teachers trained in the district. Alteration of Boundaries. —There is a growing feeling that the time is ripe for the consideration of the question of making the boundaries of the education district coterminous with those of the provincial district. Besides many advantages, it would mean greater economy in administration. Promised Legislation.—The Board is pleased to learn that during the next session of Parliament the Premier intends to introduce a superannuation scheme for aged and infirm teachers, and also a Bill dealing with the funds of the Opaku Reserve. These are very urgent matters, and it is to be hoped will be dealt with at an early stage of the session. Teachers' Classes. —Classes in cookery, woodwork, and botany and kindergarten work were taken at the winter school held between the 27th June and 9th July, and were well attended and much appreciated by the teachers. Plumbing classes have been held at New Plymouth and Stratford, and the pupils attending these classes have been very successful in gaining certificates at the City and Guilds of London and Wellington Technical Examinations, thus qualifying themselves to carry out work in the boroughs without having to get permits from the local Sanitary Inspector. School classes under that part of the Education Act relating to manual and technical instruction have been established at about one-third of the schools in the district on very successful lines. Maintenance Grant.—There can be but little doubt that if the recommendation of the Education Committee of the House of Representatives, 1903, is strictly adhered to its effects will soon be noticeable on the schools in this district, but the Board considers that there should be a greater discretionary power allowed Boards than as stated in the circular memorandum from the Department under date of the 20th January, 1905, which states that only 7 per cent, of the grant may be used for alterations and additions. Physical Instruction.—Physical instruction, in accordance with section 137, subsection (3), of " The Education Act, 1904," receives careful attention even in the smallest schools, and in the large schools is well organized and executed. James Wade, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WANGANUI. g IR Education Office, Wanganui, 31st March, 1905. In accordance with the provisions of section 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of Wanganui for the year 1904. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members : Messrs J. W. Baker, G. S. Bridge, E. Dixon, F. H. Haselden, R. A. Adams, F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.R., F. Pirani, F. M. Spurdle, and Rev. J. Ross. In January a vacancy occurred by the resignation of Mr. Haselden. This was filled by the election of Mr. Edward Newman. The three members who retired in July were Messrs. J. W. Baker, F. M. Spurdle, and the Rev. J. Ross. Messrs. Spurdle, G. Carson, and A. H. Atkinson were elected to fill the vacancies. 11l health caused the retirement of Mr. Adams and Mr. Newman, whose places were filled by Messrs. H. E. P. Adams and A. Fraser. Inspection.—Owing to the pressure of work on the inspectorial staff it was decided to appoint a third Inspector. Applications were invited and Mr. T. B. Strong, M.A., B.Sc, was selected for the position. Mr. Strong entered on his duties in July last. Number of Schools.—At the end of 1903 there were 165 schools in operation. Of these two household schools were not reopened, and two schools were closed temporarily. Ten new schools were opened, one side school, and seven household schools, making a total of 178 open at the end of last Teachers. —The number of teachers increased by 24, there being 348 teachers —adults 298 (males 132, females 166), and 50 pupil-teachers (males 16, females 34). There were also 6 special assistants employed in the five district high schools. Notwithstanding the fact that higher salaries are now paid to teachers of small country schools than prior to the passing of " The Public School Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," the Board has experienced great difficulty in obtaining teachers for these schools, and has in many cases been compelled, rather than close the schools, to appoint uncertificated and inexperienced teachers. There seems to be an increasing unwillingness on the part of young teachers to accept appointments as mistresses of schools some distance from the railway-line. The number of female teachers continues to increase, the salaries offered to pupil-teachers being so much lower than the salaries offered to cadets employed in other branches of the public service that very few boys wish to enter the teaching profession. This must have a disastrous effect in the not very distant future, for though there are many positions in the service which can be adequately filled by females, there are many that it is desirable should be filled by males. Not only is the salary offered to pupil-teachers insufficient, but the salaries of assistants also are inadequate, except in the case of the first assistants who are by no means overpaid. Little wonder is it that parents are so reluctant to allow their boys to enter the teaching profession when there is so small a prospect of their being able, after some years of service, to take upon themselves the responsibility of maintaining a wife and family. It is surely reasonable that after eight or ten year of service a teacher should receive not less than the wage of a mechanic.

In the opinion of the Board the present system of payment of teachers upon average attendance is unjust and unsatisfactory. A teacher's salary should not depend upon rise or fall of attendance in his school, a matter over which he has, to a considerable extent, no control. All teachers should be graded, with a minimum and maximum salary to each grade, and teachers of a certain grade should be eligible for appointment to a certain grade of school. If a teacher is appointed to a school he should receive the salary of his grade whether the attendance rises or falls, but should such an alteration occur in the attendance as moves the school into a different grade, the teacher should be removed into a school of his proper grade as early as possible. Grading of teachers should be upon length of service, ability to teach, and literary attainments. Pupil-teachers.—At the annual examination 49 candidates for pupil-teacherships presented themselves, of whom 32 obtained the percentage of marks required for a pass. Scholarships.—The number of competitors for the scholarships offered by the Board was 47, of whom 32 were juniors and 15 seniors. Of the former only 4 qualified, and to each of these a scholarship was awarded. One of the four could not accept the scholarship, as he was leaving the colony to prosecute his musical studies. Only six senior candidates qualified, and to each of these a scholarship was awarded. Five of these had previously held junior scholarships. National Scholarships.—On the results of this examination two scholarships were awarded in this district. School Attendance.—At the beginning of the school year the number of pupils in attendance was 11,174, and at the end of the year 12,201, an increase of 1,027. The average weekly roll-number and the average attendance for each quarter were : First quarter —roll 12,380, average attendance 10,368 ; second quarter —roll 12,361, average attendance 10,361 ; third quarter —roll 12,332, average attendance 10,405; fourth quarter —roll 12,315, average attendance 10,430. The average attendance for the year was therefore 10,391, that is larger by 524 than the average for 1903, and the average expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly roll-number is 841, that is larger than the percentage for 1903, but not quite as large as the percentage for 1902. District High Schools. —At the end of the first quarter the College Street District High School, Palmerston North, was, under " The Secondary Schools Act, 1903," disestablished with a view to the formation of a high school, and at the end of the third quarter the Patea District High School was disestablished owing to the low attendance. The attendance at the other schools was fairly satisfactory, though in some cases not as regular as might reasonably be expected. At the end of the year the number of qualified pupils receiving instruction in secondary subjects at district high schools was 128 boys and 88 girls. The amount paid during the year to head teachers and special assistants of district high schools was £1,424 lis. 9d. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Early in the year Mr. Ritchings Grant, of the Wanganui Boys' District High School, was appointed instructor of the woodwork classes at Palmerston North, Wanganui, and Hawera. At the first-named place the classes were held in the High School. The class for teachers in Palmerston North was poorly attended. The teachers' class in Wanganui was fairly attended. Cookery classes in Palmerston North and Hawera were begun in August. At the latter place, owing to the refusal of the Government to grant a sum sufficient for the erection of a suitable room, work was carried on at a great disadvantage in the science-room. During this year classes will be held at Wanganui, in addition to Palmerston North and Hawera. Other handwork classes were held during the year, as follows : Kindergarten, &c, at 43 schools, cottage-gardening at 13, chemistry at 2, ambulance-work at 2, chip-carving, swimming and life-saving, perspective, and dressmaking, each at 1 school. The capitation earned during the year 1903 was paid over to the head teachers. The purchase of material was made a first charge and the balance was distributed among the teachers who gave the instruction. At the end of the year the Board decided to retain the capitation and supply all material required. Instruction in needlework was given during the year at twenty-nine schools in charge of male teachers, the average attendance at which did not exceed forty. In some cases difficulty was found in obtaining suitable teachers, owing, no doubt, to the low rate of capitation allowed by the regulations. The Board is giving every encouragement in the formation of classes in manual and technical instruction. Good work continues to be done in the technical schools at Wanganui and Palmerston North ; at Hawera the classes are poorly attended. During the second quarter advantage was taken in Wanganui of the regulations regarding Junior Technical Scholarships and the classes in English, typewriting, shorthand, and other subjects were made free, the result being a large influx of new pupils. Training of TEACHERS.—The midwinter holidays were extended by a week to enable teachers to attend a winter school for the training of teachers. The subjects taken were kindergarten-work, nature-study, agricultural science, needlework, the work of schools below Grade 4, physical exercise, free-arm drawing, cardboard-modelling, and experimental science. The majority of teachers who attended, over two hundred in number, took several subjects. Buildings.—The expenditure during the year on new buildings, additions, &c, amounted to £2,940 7s. 2d., and, on the maintenance of buildings, supply of furniture, improvements to sites, and small additions and alterations, £2,231 19s. 2d. was expended. Of this amount not less than £500 was spent in painting and repairs prior to painting. The new schools at Coal Creek, Lower Moawhango, and Torere were completed early in the year, and new buildings were erected at Pohonui and Mokoia. A tender was accepted early in the year for the erection of a school at Pine Creek (Mangamahu), but, owing to the state of the roads, work was suspended for several months and the building was not completed at the end of the year. Additions were made to Raetihi School, and alterations and improvements to the schools at Foxton and Stoney Creek, and the residences at Linton, Longburn, Pohangina, and Taonui, besides minor improvements and repairs to other school buildings. Towards the end of the year advice was received of grants for

75

E.—l

additions to Eltham, Kaitoke, Lytton Street (Feilding), and Taihape schools, and for the erection of new schools at Glen Nevis and Kaukatea. Contracts were entered into before the end of the year for the work at Taihape, Lytton Street, and Kaitoke schools. Truant Inspection.—The Truant Officer visits regularly all the schools except those in the most outlying parts. The following is an extract from the annual report of the Truant Officer : " During the year I have travelled rather more than five thousand miles, paying 467 visits to schools, and attended seventy sittings of the Magistrates' Courts. The schools noted in my monthly reports have been visited every two months, with the exception of those in and close to Palmerston, which have been visited monthly. I have issued 679 summonses for irregular attendance during the year, resulting in a fine being inflicted in 540 cases, 59 were convicted only, 19 dismissed, and 61 withdrawn. This shows, when compared with the year 1903, a decrease of 129 in the number of summonses issued, a decrease of 110 cases in which a fine was inflicted, a decrease of 6 in convictions only, a decrease of 22 in those dismissed, and an increase of 9 in those withdrawn." Physical Drill. —Physical drill is taught in all schools —the instruction in several schools being based on the Sandow system. There are in existence a number of cadet corps and several battalions have been formed. Finance. —From the statement of the Board's receipts and expenditure it will be seen that the amount paid in teachers' salaries and allowances, including house allowance (£1,051 4s. 10d.), was £39,911 3s. 3d. The sum paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £2,777 16s. 6d. I have, &c, Geo. S. Bridge, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1905. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," I beg to submit the following report of proceedings of the Wellington Board of Education for the year 1904. Board. —Until the annual election the Board was composed of Messrs. F. Bradey (Chairman), W. Allan, E. Feist, W. C. Buchanan, M.H.R., W. H. Field, M.H.R., A. W. Hogg, M.H.R., J. Kebbell, R. Lee, and J. Robertson. Of these the first three retired, and Mr. Bradey having declined re-election, a resolution received with very general regret both by the Board and by Mr. T. W. McDonald was elected in his place, and Messrs. Allan and Feist were re-elected. At the first meeting of the new Board Mr. R. Lee was unanimously appointed Chairman.

E.—l

Number of Schools.—There were, at the beginning of 1904, 150 schools under the control of the Board. In the course of the year 7 new schools Raided) were established, while 5 aided schools were closed, so that at the end of the year 152 schools remained in operation. Attendance.—The average attendances for the respective quarters were : March, 13,371 ; June, 13,321 ; September, 13,463 ; December, 13,691. The average attendance for the year was thus 13,462. The average roll was 15,886. Included in the numbers are 187 Maoris and 115 half-castes in attendance at Board schools. As the average roll and attendance for 1903 were 15,496 and 12,801, it appears that while the average roll has increased by 390 the average attendance has increased by 661. The percentage of attendance was 847, the corresponding figures for 1903 being 82 - 6, an improvement of 2 - l per cent. This is a satisfactory increase, but the average is still considerably below that of several other districts. Satisfactory though this increased regularity is, it still means an average absence of about 2,500 pupils, a number which the Board hopes to see materially reduced in the course of the present year. It should be remembered, however, that the road and weather conditions in some of the bush districts are in the winter very unfavourable. The improvement noted is the result partly of absence of serious epidemic and partly of increased vigilance by our Truant Inspectors, supported as their efforts were by the influence of teacher, Committee, and Bench. The same Truant Officers continued in the Wairarapa, but on a change of officer in the city it was resolved to engage the whole time of the appointee—a course which has been fully justified by the results. There has been a marked improvement of attendance in most of the city schools and, concurrently with this, the officer's attentions have been gradually extended to country districts. In addition to a number of non-attenders quietly enrolled by parents, sixty-two children from eight to thirteen years of age, not previously in attendance at any school, were placed on the school rolls by the city Truant Officer. There are still however, about the city a number of children, some unfortunately morally tainted, for whom a truant school would be a more fitting institution than the ordinary Board school. During six months the Truant Officer has paid 304 visits to schools, and has dealt, by personal visit and notice, with over 800 cases. In 89, proceedings were instituted :in72 of these convictions were recorded ; 14 cases were withdrawn by the Truant Officer, and 3 were dismissed. Good work has also been reported by the local officers in the Wairarapa district, where a number of non-attenders have been placed on the rolls. In 12 cases it was found necessary to prosecute, and in 9 convictions were recorded. As the total fines amount to £12 12s. Bd., it will be understood that the Board's policy has been to secure attendance rather than fines. In all cases the prosecution covered less than the whole period of breach of the law, and, at the instance of the Board, a conviction" ; without fine was recorded in some cases of poverty. During the year the visits of the Truant Officers were extended to Roman Catholic schools. Teaching Staff.—At the close of the year there were in the service of the Board 118 male and 185 female teachers, 12 male and 79 female pupil-teachers ; total, 130 males, 264 females, or 394 in all. The corresponding numbers for 1903 were 134 males, 263 females, or 397 in all. The smallness of the number of male entrants is worthy of the most earnest consideration of all interested in education. While the proportion of male to female adults in the service was, roughly, as 2 to 3, that of male to female pupil-teachers was as 2to 13. Of 37 pupil-teachers appointed in 1904, only 4 were males. Each of the other large educational districts show a similar disproportion and the numbers of students in training at the Otago and Canterbury Training Colleges at the end of the 1903 were respectively : males, 5 ; females, 21 ; males, 6 ; females, 29. It must be evident that unless the causes resulting in this diminution of the supply of male teachers are removed, our schools will be, within a generation, largely in the hands of women; and faithful and capable as are the services of these latter, it is in the highest degree undesirable that there should be in the profession such a shortage of either sex as is promised of males within a few years. In a number of instances lately, the Board has, after advertisement, had either no applications or applications only from the unfit. The question naturally arises whether the conditions of employment are such as to attract the stamp of teacher we require, and whether the inducements are equal to those offered by other callings which require no greater skill, intelligence, and earnestness. If they are not, then most parents in the choice of callings will unhesitatingly decide against the teaching profession. The Board fully approves of the increases in salaries made at the beginning of the present year, but many teachers are still underpaid. An inspection of the following comparison of the rates paid to pupil-teachers and teachers with (a) those paid to cadets and clerks in the Railway and Postal Departments, (b) those awarded by the Arbitration Court to tradesmen and artisans is worthy of earnest study : —

(a.) Wages of Cadets and Clerks in Railway and Postal Departments.

On completion of apprenticeship : Railway clerk —assured income, lowest grade, £110, rising to £180 ; telegraph clerk —assured income, lowest grade, £115, rising to £180; teacher —salary dependent on attendance, £60 to £110, for schools of 10 to 20 average,

Not only is the minimum salary in the first two branches higher than that in the third, the maximum is also. It is not quite easy to see why, unless it be because the former are revenue-producing and the latter is not. That, however, can hardly be regarded a valid reason for the difference. Further, the teacher is at present quite without retiring-allowance.

(b.) Wages (per week) of Tradesmen and Artisans secured by Arbitration Court Award.

It can hardly be contended, in face of these figures, that, in proportion to the value of his service to the State, the teacher receives adequate reward. It is (mite certain that at present a youth of parts can earn far more in the mercantile than in the educational sphere of work. My Board is of opinion that the rate of pay should be such as to attract youths of the better class, combining in the highest possible degree personal worth with educational attainment. So widely recognised is the great value of a sound education that my Board is quite certain the people of this country wish not one of the teachers of their children to be underpaid, and that a measure of wise reform for the purpose of securing a fair rate of pay to all qualified teachers should be widely approved. Even with the recent increase of scale, forty-one teachers, owing to reduced attendance, suffered reductions of from 10s. to £24 10s. Training of Teachers.—The Board is of opinion that a thoroughly equipped training-college for the Middle University District should be established without further delay. The want of this institution forms a serious bar to the efficiency of the service. The Government grant of £200 for instruction of teachers in subjects manual and technical has enabled a large number of teachers to render themselves more efficient in this part of the school-work. The attendance at the military-drill class at Wellington was so unsatisfactory that the Department has for the present withdrawn the grant. The Board provided the funds necessary for holding at Wellington, for the whole year, and at Masterton, for about three months, physical training classes for ladies. Scholarships.—For the Board scholarships there entered at the December examinations 162 pupils drawn from forty schools, and the Board awarded twenty-eight scholarships instead of the twenty prescribed by regulations. The Board was enabled to grant the larger number owing to the increased grant to which it becomes entitled on account of increased attendance. Through the courtesy of the Education Department, the Board candidates were examined along with those for National Scholarships. It is extremely gratifying to note that many pupils from this district fully maintained its reputation for sound teaching ; the first and third on the list, embracing candidates from all New Zealand, were two lads from Te Aro School. It is perhaps worthy of note that the dux of the Girls' High School was formerly a Board scholar. Under the National Scholarship Act three, and under the Queen's Scholarship Act four, scholarships were awarded. The reports on holders for 1903 were uniformly good. District High Schools. —Very creditable work has been done during the year at both Masterton and Pahiatua. At both, the growth of attendance as well as their special work has rendered necessary additional accommodation. This, the Board trusts, will be provided for by special grant during the current year. Recognising the need of secondary education in other districts, the Board made representations to the Government, as a result of which four other district high schools were established, and since the end of the year the needs of Wellington and suburbs have been met by the establishment of district high schools temporarily at Newtown and Terrace Schools. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Cookery classes were conducted in Wellington throughout the year, and in the country districts. The equipment at the latter leaves much to be desired if the best results are to be attained. The number of schools in which the ordinary subjects of manual and technical instruction were carried on increased last year from sixty-three to ninety-six, the programme in addition to ordinary subjects of manual and technical instruction, included cottage-gardening and elementary agriculture, eight classes ; dressmaking, one ; chemistry, two ; first aid and ambulance, one ; swimming, three. The capitation of 10s. per head for sewing in schools conducted by a sole male teacher is not sufficient to pay capable instructors. My Board is of opinion that the study of subjects such as gardening and agriculture should be encouraged as far as possible, especially in the country. Schools were treated as liberally as possible in the supply of material and apparatus, the expenditure on which amounted to £510 10s. 7d., derived from capitation and special grants. Technical classes under the control of local managers were successfully established at Petone during the year, and local donors, with praiseworthy liberality, contributed £167 13s. 7d. ; and at Carterton similar classes on a smaller scale were also conducted, for which £8 17s. 6d. was locally contributed. The administration of the Wellington Technical School is now entirely under the Technical Education Board, the Board's representatives on which were the Chairman and Messrs. Allan and Hogg. Building.—During the year special grants for new schools, amounting to £771 7s. 3d., were expended in the erection of a new school at Korokoro, and additions at Makuri, Kaiparoro, and Tokomaru. For additional works at Shannon and Kereru, and for new schools at Kaituna Road and Longbush, grants 11— E. 1.

have been promised. All of these works were in progress at the end of the year. A new school was erected at Mangarama, and one was in course of erection at Akatarawa from moneys previously received. The Board is indebted to the Government for coming to its rescue with a grant of £2,500 for the purchase of the Te Aro site, the period of option over which ended during the year. The expenditure on urgently required additions to a number of schools in 1903, for which the Department has not provided grants, rendered necessary a very large reduction in ordinary expenditure during 1904. Added to this, the Board was involved in loss exceeding £300, as a result of the earthquake of the 9th August, which damaged over thirty schools. As Parliament provided a vote for the purpose of refunding to Boards the cost of these repairs, my Board has made application for the amount expended. In addition to a large number of urgent repairs, the Board has at a number of schools greatly improved the latrine accommodation, and this work will he continued as the means of the Board permit. The largest maintenance work of the year was the thorough renovation and painting of a number of city and suburban schools. The Board intends by a well-considered plan to effect during the current year similar repairs on a number of country schools and residences. Finance. —The straitened circumstances of the Board at the beginning of the year rendered economy necessary. The Administration Account is in credit £1,168 35., the Sales and Purchase of Land Account debit was reduced by £1,095 4s. 4d., and although the debit on Building Account was still £1,324 19s. 7d., it had been reduced in the course of the year by £2,030 15s. 7d. The expenditure on schools, though reduced, was still very considerable, amounting to £3,124 19s. 10d., in all of which sum about three-fifths was for maintenance of buildings, besides rent amounting to £604 10s. 6d. The Board's debit of £4,740 2s. 3d. was extinguished, and the year ended with a credit of £278 2s. It is to be observed that this makes the Board's position appear a good deal better than it in reality is, for the 1905 receipts are subject to reduction of £404 18s. 2d., difference between Commissioners' rents received and salary adjustments due to the Board, and, further, the Board's building liabilities amounted at the 31st December to £1,338 19s. 6d. The special grant of £483 2s. 3d., distributed on the basis of average attendance, formed a welcome addition to the funds of Committees. School Committees. —The boundaries of every school district were defined before the end of the year. The Board makes grateful acknowledgment of the public-spirited services of many Committees, made year after year efficiently and cheerfully, and contributing not a little to the encouragement and comfort of both the scholars and teachers. The friendly attitude of Committees is an important factor in securing capable teachers. Staff.—During the year the Secretary, Mr. Dorset, resigned, carrying with him, into a retirement earned by long years of service, the goodwill of every member of the Board. He was succeeded by Mr. G. L. Stewart, of Dunedin. Mr. Dorset has kindly placed freely at the disposal of his successor his long experience and intimate knowledge of the Board's affairs. It is pleasant to record that the Board's relations with its staff officers and with the teachers of the district continue to be of a cordial nature ; of the good work done by these latter the Inspectors have spoken in terms of praise. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Robert Lee, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sic,— Education Office, Napier, 2nd May, 1905. This Board has the honour to present a summary record showing the progress of education in this district for the year 1904. The members of the Board are : T. Tanner (Chairman), Rev. W. J. Comrie, C. A. Fitzroy, Rev. A. Grant, S. Johnson, C. Hall, M.H.R., S. McLernon, J. J. Patterson, and Sir William Russell, M.H.R. The school attendance continues to increase, although the increase is not so large as the growth of special settlement would seem to indicate. Along the East Coast new settlers are to be found, and frequent applications come for the establishment of a school, although the attendance is so small as to hardly warrant anything being done. Still the Board is of the opinion that, in cases where settlers are found remote from a public school, a building capitation should be given on condition that settlers erect a building suitable in design and sufficiently large to meet the special requirements of the district until the attendance warrants a properly constructed building. The attendances compared with the previous year are as follows :—Average attendance—l9o3, 7,152; 1904, 7,408; roll-numbers—l9o3, 8,375; 1904, 8,707. Seven schools were opened during the year— Braemar. Kaiteratahi, Mangatuna, Mangahe, Rissington, Waimata Valley, Waeranga-o-kuri. School Buildings.—The buildings in most cases are in fair repair. In thirteen districts rooms are occupied that are not the Board's property. This would not be necessary were a capitation allowance provided as suggested above. The increase in the grants for upkeep will enable the Board to maintain the buildings in fair working-order, but the conditions specified in the Minister's circular with regard to rebuilding in case of fire can hardly be carried out in the case of large and improtant schools like Napier, Gisborne, and Hastings. Thus the late fire at Gisborne requires an expenditure altogether beyond the means of the Board, and there is no alternative but to ask the Government to replace the buildings that were destroyed, as no insurance was held on them. The teachers' residences in some cases are barely habitable, and it will be necessary to apply shortly for rent allowances under the regulations on behalf of several teachers. At Matawhero the teacher's residence is so bad that the Board is of the opinion that means should be provided by the Department to renew in cases where it is reported by the architect that the buildings are unfitted for habitation. Apparatus and Appliances.—The new regulations that have lately come into operation, under which many important changes have been made in the syllabus of instruction, demand a large expenditure in providing new apparatus and appliances to meet the requirements. The Board is of the opinion that some suggestions would be of value from the Department as to the kind of apparatus and appliances used in schools in England, America, Germany, and France, and if some types of modern school buildings were issued for the guidance and suggestion of Education Boards an important step in education would be made. Technical Education.—The work of the Board in the matter of technical education has been greatly hindered by circumstances over which members have no control. This district extends for 350 miles along the East Coast, and population is not only scattered, but there are separate centres requiring special help so as to benefit the smaller schools. The Board is anxious to see woodwork and cookery classes established at such centres, but up to the present it has not been possible. In Napier there is the semblance of a technical school carried on in rooms quite unsuitable, and the Minister requires the local body to provide a suitable site before making a grant to erect a building. The Board hopes to be able to announce shortly that a suitable site has been acquired. The Gisborne technical school is in full working-order, and classes have been formed in plumbing, woodwork, and cookery, and they give promise of excellent results. Teachers. —The teachers' Saturday classes are proving of much value to the district, and are greatly appreciated by the majority of teachers. In Napier seventy-one teachers availed themselves of the classes in handwork and eighteen others in woodwork, and the class at Dannevirke in handwork was also well attended. The Board closed temporarily the Gisborne classes, the expense being too heavy under the conditions of working, but now that the technical school is in working-order a woodwork class and a cookery class have been opened and teachers have been asked to attend. Classes for teachers in nature-study and elementary agriculture are contemplated, but at present the Board thinks that there are sufficient demands on what is supposed to be the resting-time of teachers, and they will be deferred until the completion of the present course. District High Schools.—Four district high schools are established in the district, and the attendance for the December quarter was 186. In three of the districts no provision is yet made for the accommodation of pupils. In the opinion of the Board school buildings are badly needed at Dannevirke and Hastings similar to what is provided at Gisborne. With respect to Napier, it will be necessary to provide a district high school for those pupils who have passed Standard VI., and who are over the age of fourteen years, which, under the regulations, debars them from admission as free pupils at the High School, whilst the same pupils may travel as free pupils by train 'to Hastings and enter the District High School there. The children in the schools in the immediate vicinity of Napier are treated in the same way as those at Napier. It would appear by this regulation that parents are punished for making an effort to keep their children at school because they happen to be a little slow in passing the standards. If education is to be fostered the high school should be a school at which any pupils might attend after qualifying in Standard VI. School Committees. —The Board wishes to place on record the interest taken by many Committees in the work of education. Many little improvements are carried out under their supervision, and in some of the school districts the well-kept grounds and gardens show that efforts are taken to sustain the interest of the teachers and children in the establishment and maintenance of school gardens

or nature-study as well as for ornamentation. There has been no misunderstanding between the Committees and the Board, and the arrangements made for the appointment of teachers appear to have met their general approval. School Regulations.—The Board regrets that so much delay and inconvenience have taken place in the approval of the scholarship and pupil teachers' regulations. These have been submitted to the Minister for many months and as yet no sanction has been received. The work of the Board is much hindered by the long delays that take place in the correspondence between the Department and the Board, and itis hoped that some remedy will be found to avoid the inconvenience for the future. Scholarships.—The scholarships held under the Board are : Thirty Junior, two Senior, and four National Scholarships. Two National Scholarships were awarded last year. It is gratifying to find that the schools of Hawke's Bay stood so well in the National and Victoria Scholarship examinations last year. Mohaka.—Nothing has yet been done with respect to Mohaka, but the Board has decided, should another site be available and provided by the Committee, to proceed with the erection of a school as the number of children in the district who want to attend school is such as to make an increase in accommodation a public necessity. Finance.—The accounts of the Board's income and expenditure for the year 1904, are forwarded herewith. The amount paid for teachers' salaries is £24,807 15s. Bd., to School Committees £2,508 ss. 7d., and the amount expended (exclusive of technical) on the purchase of sites, erection of school buildings, and repairs is £4,901 7s. 6d. I have, &c, Tbe Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. T. Tanner, Chairman.

MARLBOROUGH. Siß,— Blenheim, 18th April, 1905. I have the honour to present the annual report of the Education Board of the District of Marlborough for the year 1904. At the beginning of the year the following gentlemen constituted the Board : Messrs. J. Duncan, J. C. Chaytor, A. G. Fell, C. Ferguson, A. J. Litchfield, R. McCallum, W. H. Macey, W. B. Parker, and A. P. Seymour. The members retiring at the end of July were Messrs! Chaytor, Macey, and Seymour. To the very great regret of the Board, Mr. Seymour did not offer him-

80

81

X.—l

self for re-election. The other two retiring members were re-elected, and Mr. J. J. W. White was elected in the place of Mr. Seymour. The retirement of Mr. Seymour was deeply regretted, not only by the Board but by the Committees throughout the district and by the public generally. He had been Chairman of the Board without any interval from the first establishment of the present system of education, or for a period of twenty-seven years, and has " established a record " of uninterrupted occupation of a position which carries with it unmistakeable evidence of the high estimation in which he was held by all his colleagues in the important duties devolving (until recently) upon them as administrators of the Education Act. His successor in the chair, Mr. John Duncan, was elected to that position during his absence in England. Schools. —The number of schools in this district open at the end of 1904 was 61, graded as follows : Grade 0, 27 ; grade 1, 14 ; grade 2, 6 ; grade 3, 3 ; grade 4, 3 ; grade 5, 2 ; grade 7, 2 ; grade 8, 3 ; and grade 10, 1. A glance at the map of the northern extremity of the South Island, and even the names of many of the smallest schools, will show the necessity for so many schools in grades 0 and 1, and though the multiplication of small schools is much to be deplored, as a rule it is, nevertheless, quite unavoidable in the Sounds County, unless the education of some two hundred children is to be entirely neglected. Moreover, it should he remembered that the Government is, in most cases, relieved from the necessity of providing and maintaining school buildings for such children; and the cost of their education per head is not very much in excess of that of children attending schools of from twenty-five to fifty, when the cost of buildings and the grants to Committees are taken into account. The mean average roll-number for the year 1904 was 1,942, showing again a decline from the previous year of forty-seven. The mean average attendance for the four quarters of the year was 1,629, as against 1,644 for the previous year. The mean average attendance is therefore about 83-8 per cent, of the average roll-number. The number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year was eighty-four, including pupil-teachers, and only seventeen of these were men. Superannuation of Teachers. —In no other Department of the public service is it of such momentous importance to the country that a system of superannuation for its old servants should be established at the earliest possible moment. In other branches the ill effects of retaining old servants, after their energy and vigour have seriously declined, are of comparatively trifling importance and limited to the Department they serve, but it is of the utmost importance to the whole community that those intrusted with the education of the " rising generation " should be relieved from their duties before advancing age has commenced to bring about the inevitable deterioration of their work, and its necessarily detrimental effect upon the children under their control. Doubtless there are throughout New Zealand many teachers who are painfully conscious that they are no longer able to do their work as they could formerly and would still delight to do it, but who are compelled to struggle on until " the great teacher, Death," puts an end at once to their labours and their anxieties. Under existing circumstances, and with the (happily) general prevalence of humane and charitable feelings, it is a very rare occurrence for a Committee to attempt to remove such a teacher, although fully awake to the fact that his continuance in office is not favourable to the proper advancement of the children's education. If, however, a reasonable provision for old age were available, those responsible for the proper administration of the Education Act would not hesitate to act in the best interests of the children by removing any teacher whose usefulness had been seriously impaired by the advance of old age. With such provision in view, however, there would seldom be any need for the authorities to take action. The teacher himself, as an honourable man, would give up his charge voluntarily as soon as he felt that the failure of his powers of mind or body had incapacitated him for the successful prosecution of his important duties. Under present circumstances, however, while the salaries paid in the large majority of cases are barely sufficient to meet the daily wants of the teacher and his family, and quite inadequate to enable him to make any provision for the future, the unfortunate man is compelled to cling to his office long after he is painfully conscious of his failing powers, and of the fact that the education of his scholars is to some extent being sacrificed to his necessities. It is to be hoped, therefore, that this long-promised relief will be speedily provided for this deserving body of public servants, • and that the Government will not wait for the propounding of a scheme " actuarially safe," since, if there is any sincerity in the frequent professions of admiration for, and gratitude to, the teachers of the colony, the country will heartily support the proposal that has been more than once made, that the Government should in some way contribute to the foundation of the Teachers' Superannuation Fund. Changes in the Office Staff. —Early in the year, Mr. John Smith, who had filled the positions of Secretary and Inspector to the Board for a period of thirteen years, after sixteen years' service in a similar capacity in Westland, addressed a letter to the members of the Board, asking to be allowed to resign the office of Inspector at the end of June, on account of his age rendering him unfit for the exertion necessitated by the amount of travelling required in visiting twice a year schools in this scattered district. He asked to be allowed to retain the office of Secretary, and undertook to do without a clerk. The Board willingly agreed to this arrangement, and invited applications for the position of Inspector by advertisement in the four large centres. Forty-three applications were received, and after long and careful consideration of the evidence before it, the Board unanimously chose Mr. David Anderson Strachan, M.A., who entered upon his duties in July, and the Board, after nine months' experience of his work, is able to congratulate itself on securing the services of so thoroughly able and enthusiastic an officer, one fully impressed with the importance of the new education and losing no opportunity of promoting its advancement. Handwork and Technical Instruction.—During the past year school classes were held in needlework, ambulance, brushwork, and plasticine-modelling. A " continuation " class and teachers' classes were established, the subject of the latter being first aid and ambulance and brushwork.

The total receipts on account of the classes held in 1904 were, for material, £7 13s. 7d. ; capitation, £26 ss. 2d. During the current year it is hoped to have rooms for cookery and woodwork built, so that the children of Marlborough may be able to express their ideas not only in words but in the concrete, a part of culture that requires attention in an age that looks not only for thinking but for doing. Excepting in a few very small household schools, the requirements of " The Physical Drill in Public Schools Act, 1901," have been met, and a number of teachers have shown much enthusiasm in teaching the innovations of military drill. Complaints have been made from time to time by several Education Boards of the gradual encroachment of the Department upon their proper functions, and although no definite expression of this grievance has emanated from this Board, it has had ample experience of this centralising tendency. In fact, what with the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, the Teachers' Court of Appeal, and the stringency of the regulations respecting the disposal of the Building Fund, adopted on the recommendation of a parliamentary Committee, the acquisition of a seat on an Education Board is becoming less and less an object worthy of the ambition of independent, trustworthy, and self-respecting members of the community. If the Government has lost all confidence in the integrity of the Boards, it would be more appropriate to abolish them altogether, rather than to gradually and insidiously deprive them of all but the nearest shadow of authority. Inspection.—The Inspector's annual returns, and his annual report to the Board, which have already been forwarded to the Department, will supply all the information required under this head.

John Smith, Secretary. NELSON. Sir, — Education Office, Nelson, 17th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit the report of the Board's proceedings for the year 1904. The Board. —At the annual election of the members of the Board the retiring members, Messrs. Bailie, Beuke, and Talbot were re-elected, and a vacancy, caused by the death of Mr. J. H. Boundy, was filled by the election of Mr. W. H. Phillips (a former member). The following gentlemen now constitute the Board —viz., Messrs. George Talbot (Chairman), J. D. Beuke, Thomas Bailie, Harry Atmore, W. H. Phillips, William Lock, William Norris Franklyn, Thomas John Baigent, and Andrew Thomas Maginnity. District High Schools. —It is a matter of regret that each of the three district high schools have entailed a loss on the Board, the fixed salaries, which cannot in any instance be deemed excessive, being more than the capitation earned. The receipts from capitation earned during the year were £500 12s. 6d., and the total of the salaries paid, exclusive of the bonuses of the previous year, was £635. These schools can only be kept open by the assistance received from the Board of School Commissioners.*

* Any payment made by the School Commissioners was contrary to the provisions of "The Seoondary Schools Act, 1903," section 17, and the amount must be refunded.—Secketaby foe Education.

E.—l

Primary Schools. —At the end of 1903 there were 117 schools open : several small household schools have been closed, the Richmond Boys' and Girls' Schools have been amalgamated, and other household schools have been opened, so that at the beginning of the current year 114 schools were in operation. Attendance of Scholars. —Both the average roll-number and the average attendance, for the first time for some years, show an increase, the former to a small extent, but the latter substantially. The average roll-number in 1903 was 5,588 - 5, the past year it was 5,596 ; the average attendance in 1903 was 4,59275, while in 1904 it rose to 4,71L75, the increase being probably in a great measure due to the appointment as Truant Officers of the headmasters of some of the larger schools. Drill. —The Inspectors report that to a certain extent physical drill was taught in all but eight schools in the district. Cadet corps are established in connection with eight schools, and a cadet battalion has also been formed at Westport. An effort is being made to establish a cadet band in connection with the Westport Battalion. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Modelling in plasticine has been taught in 22 schools, brushwork in 3, paper-folding, bricklaying, &c, in 6, ambulance and first aid to the injured in 16, swimming and life-saving in 9, cookery in 3, woodwork in 1, and dressmaking in 1. Needlework, under Regulation 26, (c), has been taught in 19 schools in sole charge of male teachers. Technical classes in dressmaking have been held at 3 schools, and continuation classes in shorthand at 1. Special classes for the instruction of teachers have been held in Nelson for drawing of various kinds and for woodwork, and at Westport for brushwork. It was a matter of regret that the Board was not authorised to accept a tender for the erection of the Nelson Technical School before the end of the year; in fact, it is nearly two years now since application was first made for a grant of £1,000 to have the school started. A site for the erection of the Technical School at Westport has been secured, but the Board's application for a grant for a building has again been postponed. The Technical School building at Reefton has been in use during the year for cookery and woodwork during the day and for dressmaking in the evening. It is expected that fuller use will be made of the building during the present year. Buildings.—During the year the school at Motupiko was destroyed by fire, and has been replaced at a total cost of £373 lis. for the building alone, towards which the grant from the Department was only £372 16s. The Board fails to see why the total cost should not have been refunded by the Government, as, under the present system of subdividing the building grant, this difference between the grant and the cost will always appear as a debit balance, unless instructions are received to debit the difference to the account for rebuilding or some other subdivision of the account. A new school has been erected at Ranzau to replace the old one, which had been in use over forty years, and additional rooms have been added to the two divisions of the Eastern Infant School (Nelson), for which latter works, though urgently needed owing to increased attendance and supported by the Inspector's recommendation, and costing £637 ss. 10d., no grant has yet been allowed by the Department. The Burnett's Face School, situated at an altitude of nearly 2,000 ft. and comparatively close to the seaboard, was seriously damaged by a gale in March last, and has been repaired at a cost of £178 14s. 9d.. towards which the Department declined to make any grant. The Reefton School property has been considerably improved during the year by a complete system of drainage-works and the substitution of water-closets for the earth-closets formerly in use. The Board is glad to report that during the year an Act has been passed by Parliament vesting the old Nelson Gaol site in the Board, in exchange for the site of the Toitoi Valley Girls' School, which building it is proposed to remove as soon as the necessary financial arrangements can be made. Finance. —At the end of 1903 the Board's credit balance stood at £365 lis. lid., belonging principally to the Building Fund. At the end of 1904 the General Account showed a credit balance of £65 2s. Id., and the Building Account a credit balance of £2,519 6s. 7d. The balances of the various accounts are as follows —viz., Administration Account, debit balance, £94 19s. Bd. : Teachers' Salaries Account, credit balance, £365 ss. lid. (including School Commissioners' revenue, not deducted) ; Relieving-teachers Account, credit balance, £31 12s. 2d. ; Education Board Scholarships Account, debit balance, £101 os. 4d. ; National Scholarship Account, debit balance, £2 10s. 6d. ; District High Schools Account, debit balance, £261 7s. 4d. ; Building Maintenance Account, credit balance, £3,129 10s. 4d. ; New Buildings Account, debit balance, £525 18s. 6d. ; Technical Buildings Account, debit balance, £126 lis. 4d. ; Manual and Technical Administration Account, credit balance, £146 os. 4d. ; Contractors' Deposit Account, credit balance, £24 7s. 6d. The above statement is subject to adjustment by the Audit Office. Teachers' Superannuation Scheme. —Before concluding, I must express the earnest desire of the Board'that a superannuation scheme for teachers may be introduced and carried through Parliament this year. It is a matter that has been a long time before the public, and there is a, consensus of opinion throughout the district that such a measure should be at once passed into law. I have, &c, Geo. Talbot, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

GREY. Sir, — Education Office, Greymouth, 7th March, 1905. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Grey for the year ending the 31st December, 1904. Board. —For the three vacancies occurring in the month of August five candidates were nominated by the School Committees. The result was the re-election of Messrs. J. Flynn, S. R. Harris, and the Hon. James Marshall. The Board has thus throughout the year consisted of Messrs. John Byrne, John Flynn, S. R. Harris, James Kerr, W. R. Kettle, Jeremiah McCarthy, Joseph Petrie, Frank White, and the Hon. James Marshall. At the annual meeting, Mr. John Byrne was elected Chairman and Mr. W. R. Kettle Treasurer. In February, Mr. W. R. Kettle was re-elected as the Board's representative on the Greymouth High School Board. Mr. John Byrne continues to represent the Board as one of the School Commissioners of Westland. During the year twelve meetings have been held. Schools. —At the beginnnig of the year thirty-two schools were in operation. On the Ist September a new school was opened at Inchbonnie. The schools were graded as follows : Grade 0, 8 ; grade 1, 14 ; grade 2, 1 ; grade 3, 2 ; grade 4, 1 ; grade 5, 3 ; grade 6, 1 ; grade 7, 1 ; grade 9, 1 ; grade 15, 1. The average attendance for the year was 1,384, which is an increase of thirty-two for the year. The regularity of attendance is not so good as it should be, the percentage for the year being only 83-1. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of the year was 57 (14 males and 43 females), including 8 head teachers, 25 sole teachers, 17 assistant teachers, and 7 pupilteachers. Excluding the pupil-teachers, of the remaining 50, 21, or nearly half, are uncertificated, and many appear to be making no effort to obtain a certificate. Until some definite scheme of instruction for teachers is devised, it is feared that a great number of our schools will be taught by incompetent persons. In twelve schools there was a change in the staff during the year. At the pupil-teachers examination, held in December, four passed the tests and one was unsuccessful. Two who had been recently appointed were not examined. None obtained credit passes, so the work done cannot be considered of high order. Scholarships.—Eight candidates presented themselves at the annual examination, four of whom qualified. Only three schools sent candidates. Drill. —Physical drill is taught in almost all the schools, and with very satisfactory results. There are now three cadet corps and four detachments in the district, all doing good work. Technical Instruction. —By the receipt of a grant of £75 for the instruction of teachers, the Board was enabled to establish Saturday classes for teachers and to assemble the teachers during the midwinter holidays for some days training. The Board has reason to believe that the money thus spent is wisely spent —in fact, if the scheme were extended, good results would follow. Finance. —At the close of the year the Board had a debit balance on the General Account of £391 9s. 9d., and a credit balance on the Building Account of £570 3s. Bd. The Board has spent a great deal of its building grant in repairing the school buildings, which are now in such a satisfactory condition that during the coming year a small amount should keep them in good order. During the year the sum of £50 14s. was received from the Government for distribution among School Committees, all of whom were thankful for the addition to the ordinary grant. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington, John Byrne, Chairman,

WESTLAND. Sir,— Education Office, Hokitika, 10th January, 1905. I have the honour to present the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1904. The Board.—Messrs. T. W. Beare, J. S. Benyon, and G. A. Perry, who retired in August, were re-elected by the members of the School Committees. In the same month the Board appointed Mr. Beare Chairman for the ensuing year, and Mr. Michel was reappointed as treasurer and representative on the Hokitika High School Board. Mr. Grimmond has continued to act as School Commissioner in accordance with his appointment by the Board. During the year twelve ordinary meetings were held. Primary Schools.—Of the thirty-five schools open at the beginning of the year two small schools were closed, leaving thirty-three open at the close of 1904. In addition, five Catholic schools of the district were examined by the Board's Inspector. Attendance.—The total roll of the district at the end of the year was 1,036, a decrease of fiftyone. The average attendance was 873 per cent, of the average roll-number. The Board's Truant Officer has received weekly reports from a number of the schools, has issued the necessary notices, and has in a few cases secured convictions for breaches of the School Attendance Act Teachers.—Of the 48 teachers in the employ of the Board at the close of the year, 6 are headmasters, 26 sole teachers, 12 assistants, and 4 pupil-teachers. Of those in charge of schools with an average attendance exceeding 20—i.e., above grade I—l 9 have certificates and lis uncertificated. In schools of the lower grades 6 possess certificates or partial certificates and 18 are uncertificated. Secondary Education.—The Hokitika District High School has had a secondary class with an average roll-number of thirty-seven. The number at the end of the year was thirty-two. Five of the pupils were holders of Board's scholarships, one of a Junior National Scholarship, and one of a Queen's Scholarship,. All the pupils received free tuition. A report presented separately shows that the class has fully maintained its efficiency. Scholarships.—The scholarships held by pupils of the district consist of those mentioned in the previous paragraph. Of the Board's scholarships two were of £24 each, one of £12, and two of £4 per annum, the amount varying according to the proximity' of the holders' homes to the District High School. The Board at the end of the year allotted two country scholarships of £24 each. Manual and Technical Instruction.—Ten school classes in handwork, recognised by the Education Department, were in operation during the year. The lower classes of a number of other schools have received instruction in handwork. The capitation received serves as a contribution to the cost of material and text-books supplied by the Board. The special class in woodwork carried on in a special building attached to the Kumara School has continued in operation and closed the year with twenty-five students. Of these, twenty-one are pupils of the Kumara Public School. , The school class in woodwork attached to the Hokitika District High School was closed at the beginning of the year owing to the death of the instructor. It was reopened in May under the direction of the headmaster, and has included twenty-two pupils of the school. The Saturday classes for the instruction of teachers in physics and chemistry were continued until the 28th May, and were then closed. A further vote for the instruction of teachers has been received, but has not yet been applied to the purpose for which it was granted, as the Board is awaiting a reply to an application for a grant for a building to be devoted to practical science and cookery. When this is received the Board will be able to decide as to the manner in which the vote will be expended. Physical Instruction.—With reference to physical instruction and drill, there have been in operation three cadet corps, and in seventeen schools a special course of physical exercises has been followed In nearly every case the instruction has included practice with wands, dumb-bells, or clubs. Two of 12—E 1.

E.—l

86

the cadet corps are connected with the Hokitika and Kumara Schools, and one is composed of pupils from the Woodstock and Kanieri Schools, which are within easy distance of each other. Finance. —The balance-sheet shows in the General Account a credit balance of £104 7s. 7d. Of this sum, however, £89 14s. 7d. consists of the unexpended portion of the grant for the instruction of teachers. The net credit balance is therefore £14 13s. This is the first occasion for seven years that the. Board's General Account has been in credit. At the end of the year 1900, immediately before the Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act came into force, there existed a debit balance of £166 lis.- 7d., and it is gratifying to find that both an extension of the grants to School Committees and the liquidation of the overdraft have been feasible during the intervening four years. The amount of grants for ordinary building purposes was £1,312. Of this, £795 was for the requirements for the year 1903, and £517 was received just before the close of the year and forms part of the grant for the year 1904. The large balance in hand is accounted for partly by this anticipatioiijof the current financial year's vote, and partly by the postponement until the summer holidays of several contracts. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Welllington. Thos. W. Beare, Chairman.

NORTH CANTERBURY. Sir,— Christchurch, 26th April, 1905. 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, 1904. The Board. —On the 2nd March Mr. D. McMillan resigned his seat on the Board, the vacancy being filled by the election of Mr. James Hight, M.A. The three members whose term of office expired in August were Dr. Charles Chilton, M.A., Mr. M. Dalziel, and Mr. C. A. C. Hardy, all of whom were re-elected unopposed. At a meeting held on the 17th August Mr. T. W. Adams was elected Chairman of the Board. The Board held eighteen meetings during the year, one of which was a special meeting. Mr. W. H. Montgomery was elected member of the Akaroa High School Board, Mr. A. Orr and the Rev. G. B. Inglis members of the Ashburton High School Board, and Mr. H. Boyd member of the Rangiora High School Board. Mr. Buddo continued to represent the Board as a Commissioner of Education Reserves. Buildings.—The total expenditure on buildings during 1904, including repairs, painting, and other renovations was £5,198 10s. lid. As the buildings formerly placed at the Board's disposal at Lower Kaituna (Big Bay) and Upper Kaituna were required by their respective owners, the Board was compelled to replace them so that school-work might continue. Of the expenditure on the firstnamed (which included a contribution towards cost of master's house), £150 had been granted by the Department some years previously, but owing to the difficulty of procuring a site the erection of a school had been unavoidably delayed. In the case of Kaituna (Upper) the residents contributed the sum of £50 towards the cost of the school, besides finding the site and undertaking the necessary fencing. The Birch Hill School and the Hinds (side) School, both closed during the previous year, were removed to Ashley Gorge and Carew (Rangitata) respectively, the Board being able in this way to supply the needs of the two localities in question without calling upon the Government to make the special grants which otherwise would have been required. A master's house was erected at Oxford East, the contract for this work, which for some years had been recognised as urgent, having been let during the previous year. An addition of one room was also made to the master's house at Darfield. During the year a large number of school buildings underwent substantial repairs and renovations. For many years the Board has been free to use its own discretion as regards the use of the buildings grant. The restrictions now placed upon it appear to the Board unnecessary and likely to cause serious embarrassment. There are usually many cases to be dealt with each year, some of which require that prompt attention which

E.—l

87

the observance of formalities and accompanying delay prohibit. The Board therefore respectfully, but none the less strongly, protests against the action of the Government in depriving Education Boards of freedom of action when dealing with applications for new school buildings and additions. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including twenty-two aided schools, was 206. Maintenance.—The expenditure on salaries and allowances in regard to teachers engaged in primary departments amounted to £55,579 lis. 2d., and School Committee grants and ordinary incidental expenses to £6,027 ss. Bd., a total of £61,606 16s. lOd. The average attendances on which payment of salaries and incidentals was made (with the usual adjustments for broken periods) were 16,247 and 16,585 respectively ; the cost per head of these teachers' salaries was therefore £3 7s. Bd., and that of'incidental expenses (exclusive of the special grant of 9d. per head) 7s. 3|d., making a total of £3 14s. lh£d. per head. Adding £9,578 15s. 9d. (general capitation) to the sum expended on salaries, the total cost instruction during the year, exclusive of grants to Committees and expenditure on buildings, was £65,158 6s. lid., equal to £4 os. 2Jd. for each child in average attendance. The expenditure in salaries of teachers engaged in secondary departments was £1,640 4s. Bd. The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1904 was 509. Of these, 205 (121 males and 84 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge ; 203 (40 males and 163 females) were assistants ;■ and 101 (22 males and 79 females) were pupil-teachers. The Board has again had a good deal of trouble in securing teachers for its smaller schools, and m a number of cases has been obliged to place these schools in charge of persons possessing but little experience. As compared with the previous year, the roll-number on the 31st December, 1904, shows a decrease of 201, which is disappointing, the increase recorded for 1903 having raised the hope that each succeeding year would show an increase. At the end of the year 1895, the roll-number was 21,368, so that there are now 1,990 fewer children attending the public schools in North Canterbury than was the case nine years ago. On the other hand, the percentage of attendance during the year was remarkably high —86-73, a record for North Canterbury. Normal School.—The principal's report deals with some of the features of the work of the Normal School, to which 32 students (3 males and 29 females) were admitted during the year. Of these, 18 (3 males and 15 females) were of the first year, and 14 (all females) of the second year. As regards the Normal School and its several departments, the year has been productive of much doubt and uncertainty. Early in 1904, after carefully considering the representations made by the Inspector-General of Schools in regard to the proposed management and maintenance of training-colleges, the Board expressed the opinion that the Normal School should continue under its control. There were also matters of detail affecting the students to which, by resolution of the Board, the Minister's attention was drawn. In accordance with the recommendations of the parliamentary Committee, and acting on the representations made by the Department, a Committee of Advice was set up. At a special meeting of the Board'the recommendations of the Committee of Advice in regard to the proposed reorganization of the Normal School were adopted. The scheme, which was submitted to the Department, aimed at providing accommodation for 800 of the pupils then in attendance, to be distributed among three separate departments (exclusive of provision for students), viz., a model school, a practising or general training-school, and a normal public school (auxiliary training-school). In recommending this scheme the Board was to a great extent influenced by the fact that its adoption would provide for most of the pupils in attendance at the school, at the same time fully utilising the large Normal School buildings. Towards the close of the year the Inspector-General, in conference with the Board's committee, pointed out that the accommodation was insufficient for the successful working of the scheme proposed, about double the space being required, also that the playground was suitable for two schools under practically separate control. The Board, on further consideration of the matter, admitted the soundness of these objections and agreed to take steps to reduce the roll-number to 460, including forty secondary-school pupils and a model school of the same number, in accordance with the scheme recommended by the parliamentary Committee. As regards the staff, the Board felt it necessary, in the interests of the students, to propose that the director should have some tutorial assistance, a modification which the Department agreed to allow. At the date of this report, after a trial extending over some three months, the conclusion forced on the Board is that the staff is not numerically strong enough to cope with the ordinary work of the primary school plus the additional duties connected with the Training College. The Board has therefore proposed, as a temporary expedient (the permanent appointment of a third assistant master and an assistant mistress being regarded as really necessary), to appoint two additional assistant mistresses in lieu of a third assistant master, an arrangement which will provide a certificated teacher for each standard as well as the necessary assistance in the infants' department. Inspection.—ln the Inspectors' report a good deal of space is rightly devoted to a consideration of the new conditions under which the department expects primary education to be carried on in future. The Board would impress upon its teachers the desirability of their making a careful study of the advice tendered in regard to the several subjects of instruction, with special reference to the manner in which they will be expected to treat grammar in its bearing on composition. The Board regrets to learn that, owing to the easier conditions regulating promotion, the efforts of its teachers during the last few year's have been less effective than in the past; and it desires to impress upon the Department the need of further consideration being given to a matter of such vital importance to the children passing through the public schools of the colony. In their report the Inspectors refer to the absence of the apparatus necessary to carry on school work under the new syllabus, the need of which as regards the teaching of science and geography is severely felt. The Board would respectfully point out that it has no funds with which to equip over two hundred schools with the teaching-aids considered to be necessary, and it therefore desires to urge on the Department that a special grant should be made to meet the expenditure. ... About the middle of the year Mr. L. B. Wood, M.A., after a service of nearly twenty years, resigned his position as Inspector. The vacancy on the inspectorial staff was filled by the selection, from a number of well-qualified applicants, of Mr. T. S. Foster, M.A., for many years headmaster of the Christchurch West School.

Appointment ot . Teachers. —In its report for the previous year the Board referred to the weakness revealed in the system of appointing teachers, viz., that in many cases, owing to the plan of forwarding to School Committees the names of six candidates, the teacher possessing distinctly superior qualifications was passed over for one whose name stood much lower on the approved list. Towards the end of the year this matter was again brought under review, when the Board agreed to reduce the number of approved candidates to three. In the opinion of the Board this modification, while still leaving the final selection to Committees, will insure for the best teacher a more reasonable chance of securing promotion. The question of the classification of teachers and of the grading of schools has also engaged the Board's attention during the year. Notwithstanding assertion to the contrary by those having no opportunity of comparing the work done by the several candidates, in its efforts to secure promotion for teachers the Board has always taken into consideration the degree of skill in teaching, coupled with length of service, at the same time paying regard to scholarship attainments. It is the intention of the Board, when dealing with applications, to continue to be guided by the same principles. In the opinion of the Board no effective scheme of promotion is practicable so long as teachers' salaries are computed on average attendance. On several occasions the Board has considered whether it would not be practicable to arrange a scheme under which a teacher could exchange his position for that held by some other teacher in the Board's service. The Board recognises that with the present system of appointing teachers there would be much difficulty in arranging transfers, which in no case could be made unless each teacher was well qualified for the position he desired to occupy. It has been resolved that, subject to the approval of the Board and of the Committees concerned, any teacher may exchange his position, by mutual agreement, with any other teacher in the Board's service. Scholarships.—At the Board's annual examination for scholarships there were 64 candidates (38 boys and 26 girls) for the junior, and 21 (11 boys and 10 girls) for the senior. Of the 64 junior candidates, 45 came from town Schools, 16 from schools having two certificated teachers, and 3 from sole-charge schools. The town candidates secured 10 of the 15 scholarships awarded, while those from schools of the second class gained 5, one of the latter falling to a candidate who would not have been eligible to compete but for the six months' advantage as regards age. The small number (3) of candidates from single-handed schools, and their failure to participate in the scholarship capitation which is earned in common by all schools, in proportion to the average attendance, should not be lost sight of when the Board's regulations are next under consideration. In accordance with the terms under which the scholarships were advertised, amounts equivalent to the fees that would otherwise be payable will be deducted from who have been given free places. The money free, with the small unabsorbed margin from the general fund, has enabled the Board to grant twentyone scholarships instead of eighteen. There were thirteen candidates for the two Gammack Scholarships, of whom eight qualified. Irregular Attendance. —The past year has witnessed a marked improvement in the attendance at the Board's schools, largely the result of more favourable conditions arising from the absence of epidemics, but also no doubt in some measure due to a fuller recognition of parents' responsibilities, quickened in many cases by the efforts of the Board's.Truant Officer, who has continued to satisfactorily discharge his difficult duties. The number of cases dealt with during the year reached 1,636, but of these 108 only were taken to court. Seventy-seven convictions were recorded, twenty-eight cases being dismissed and three withdrawn. The fines imposed amounted to £17 10s. 6d., approximately the same as in the previous year. Manual and Technical Instruction. —To the several centres previously actively engaged with technical or school classes, that of Kaiapoi was added during The subjects taken have not differed materially from those of previous years, and the prominence mentioned in the last report as being attached to dressmaking has been sustained. There has been some increase in the number of school classes compared with 1903, and good work has been done at many of the schools. The requirements of the new syllabus have no doubt deterred some teachers from commencing handwork. The space at the Board's disposal in this report hardly permits of any lengthy reference to the circumstances which have led up to the unsatisfactory position of the Christchurch technical classes. Briefly, the facts are as follows : In September, 1904, the Board of Managers gave up its management of the classes on the ground of insufficient and unsuitable accommodation. In order to prevent the classes from falling through, the Education Board agreed to carry them on temporarily, at the same time expressing the opinion that without the necessary financial assistance the work could not be placed on a satisfactory and permanent footing. The Board's appeal to the local bodies failed to elicit that support which the subject deserved, and as a consequence there is still much uncertainty as to the continuance of the classes. As the capitation paid by the Department is not sufficient to meet the expenditure entailed by the appointment of a director, whose services are indispensable if technical work is to be carried to a successful issue, the Board is of opinion that without the co-operation of the Christchurch citizens, through their representatives, the classes cannot be continued. Towards the end of the year, and again during February, a summer school for instruction of teachers in cardboard-model-ling was held under the direction of Mr. E. C. Isaac, one of the Department's Technical Inspectors, good work being done on both occasions. The requirements of the several schools and the absence of pupilteachers at the annual examinations interfered with the attendance at the earlier course, but that during the week in February was extremely good, the average per lesson being about sixty-five. The Board is much indebted to the Department for having placed at its disposal Mr. Isaac's services, which were much appreciated by those in attendance at the classes. District High Schools. —With one notable exception, there has been no further development in the district-high-school movement. On the contrary, the comparatively short trial given has shown that in two cases (Kaikoura Town and Oxford East) the provision for secondary instruction either came too soon or failed to awaken on the part of the parents the interest and enthusiasm essential to the possibility of its continuance. The exception above noted concerns the Christchurch West School, which, after repeated application from the Board, was opened as a district high school at the commencement of the last quarter of the year. The very large number of pupils engaged in secondary

E.~ 1.

work, and the high estimation in which the school is deservedly held, amply vindicate the Board's persistency in urging upon the Department the need of secondary instruction being provided for the large number of Christchurch boys and girls hitherto shut out from the advantages enjoyed by others. School Cadet Corps and Physical Drill. —There was no addition during 1904 to the number of school cadet corps previously in existence, but since the close of the year two new corps have been formed, and one detachment has recently been converted into a company. Apart from the work done by members of cadet corps, much attention has profitably been directed to physical drill, quite a large number of schools having taken up this subject with unmistakable success. On the 26th November last, under the direction of the teachers connected with the Public Schools Amateur Athletic Association, a very large number of children gave practical demonstration of the valuable instruction they had received in this subject. Physical Training.—ln accordance with the provisions of the Physical Drill in Public and Native Schools Act, the Board desires to submit, as the report therein required, the following extract from its Inspectors' report in respect of year ending the 31st December, 1904 : " To the question of physical training considerable attention continues to be given. Club, wand, and dumb-bell exercises, with more or less appreciation of their hygienic influences, are commonly found, but to be of much use require short daily, instead of longer weekly practice ; and in a number of cases breathing exercises form a regular part of the routine. In the larger schools the cadet movement maintains its interest, with a most beneficial effect on discipline. On the whole we are of opinion that, without giving more prominence to physical education than seems necessary in a young and sport-loving country, nearly as much is being done in the required direction as may reasonably be expected under conditions that preclude the special adaptation of exercises to the personal needs of the individual pupil." Audit of Accounts. —It is with much regret that the Board has to record the refusal of the Auditor-General to sign the Board's balance-sheet for the year ending the 31st December, 1903. No objection has been previously raised to the manner in which the Board's accounts have been presented, although practically the same form —supplied by the Education Department—has been used for many years. In consequence of the attitude adopted by the Audit Office in this matter, the Board was compelled—in common with other Education Boards—to publish its balance-sheet without the AuditorGeneral's certificate. Failing his willingness to give the usual certificate, the Board has requested Mr. Warburton to report to the Minister of Education in what respect he has found the balance-sheet incorrect.

SOUTH CANTERBURY. Sir, — Education Office, Timaru, Ist April, 1905. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," I have the honour to submit the report of the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1904. The Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Messrs. John Campbell, Sandham Gillingham, William M. Hamilton, William B. Howell, John Jackson, Daniel McCaskill, John S. Rutherford, John Talbot, and the Rev. George Barclay. The Rev. George Barclay and Messrs. Gillingham and Jackson retired during the year, and the election to fill the vacancies resulted in the re-election of the Rev. George Barclay and Mr. Jackson, and in the election of Mr. G. W. Armitage, of Temuka, in place of Mr. Gillingham, who did not seek re-election. Mr. Howell was elected Chairman of the Board for the ninth time in succession. The Board held twelve meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being seven. The Schools. —At the beginning of the year there were seventy-one schools in operation in the district. During the year three new schools were opened, so that the number of schools at the end of the year was seventy-four. Teachers. —In December, 1904, there were in the service of the Board 147 teachers ; of these 124 were adults and 23 pupil-teachers. Of the adults, 53 were men and 68 were women ;of the pupilteachers, 8 were males and 15 were females. The average salary of the adult teachers was £128 15s. Bd., so that it cannot be said that the remuneration of our teachers is better than that of many tradesmen ; and the members of some branches of the Civil Service are better paid than teachers. " The Education Amendment Act, 1904," provided for small additions to the salaries of teachers of small schools, and also to the salaries of a few male assistants, but the increases provided by this Act have been received with feelings of disappointment by many of our teachers. In view of the importance of their positions, of the hard study necessary to prepare them for their profession, and of the increase in the cost of living during recent years, the salaries paid to teachers as a body are insufficient. The delay of the Government in establishing a teachers' superannuation scheme has caused even greater disappointment, and Boards, Committees, and teachers, and all who have the interests of education truly at heart should not be satisfied until the necessary Act has been placed on the statute-hook to make adequate provisions for aged and infirm teachers and their dependants. The Board views with great satisfaction the opening of the Christchurch Training College to pupilteachers and others from this district, and it is hoped that in a few years the supply of trained teachers will be adequate to enable the Board to staff all its schools with thoroughly efficient teachers. At the present time the Board is compelled to employ in its smaller schools some teachers who are not only uncertificated, but also untrained in any way for their work. The Education Department has recently revised pupil-teacher regulations, which by requiring higher attainments from candidates entering the profession will tend to shorten the apprenticeship and lessen the drudgery hitherto attached to our pupil-teacher system. Scholarships.—At the present time the Board's scholarship regulations are undergoing revision, consequent on the issue of the new syllabus for public schools, and on the offer of the Education Department to undertake the examination for scholarships at the same time as the National Scholarship and Junior Civil Service Examinations. The allocation of scholarships has also been affected by the throw-ing-open of the secondary schools to those who can comply with the Government's regulation for free places. At the annual Scholarship Examination in December, there were twenty-five candidates for junior and fourteen for senior scholarships. Nine junior and seven senior scholarships were awarded by the Board. Attendance. —The following shows the attendance for the year : March quarter —71 schools, 141 teachers, 5,003 roll-number ; average attendance, 2,287 males, 2,091 females, total 4,378. June quarter 74 schools, 143 teachers, 5,079 roll-number ; average attendance, 2,311 males, 2,094 females, total 4,405. September quarter —74 schools, 143 teachers, 5,136 roll-number ; average attendance, 2,348 males, 2,109 females, total 4,457. December quarter—74 schools, 144 teachers, 5,114 rollnumber ; average attendance, 2,376 males, 2,158 females, total 4,534. The number on the roll at the end of the year shows an increase of 119 over that of the previous year, and the yearly average attendance (4,444) an increase of 164. Both these increases are very gratifying after several years of declining attendance. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly rolls for the four quarters was 87-5, the highest since the Board has been in existence. No doubt the impartial administration of the School Attendance Act by the Board's Truant Officer has helped to bring about this result. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The number of schools that earned capitation for this work during the year was twenty-one. A few schools failed to earn capitation through misunderstanding the regulations, and many others did creditable work in such subjects as paper-folding, modelling in plasticine, and brush drawing, though the smallness of the staffs prevented the teachers from devoting the time to the subjects required by the regulations. In the two largest schools classes in woodwork for the upper boys and in cookery for upper girls were conducted during the year with marked success, and arrangements are being made for classes in the same subjects during 1905 in at least three other schools. In no other part of their school-work do the children take a greater interest. In nineteen schools under male teachers, needlework was taught by special teachers, the average amount of capitation earned being £6 18s. lOd. Classes for the training of teachers in manual and science subjects were held during the year in woodwork, needlework, anatomy, &c, botany, and blackboard drawing. Nearly all the classes were carried on with considerable success, and generally the attendance of the teachers was satisfactory. The " associated classes "at Timaru, Waimate, and Temuka were continued during the year, and it may now be said that they are firmly established and that their success is assured. The Technical School buildings at Timaru and Waimate have been completed, and the fitting-up oLthe various rooms with furniture and apparatus is now also almost complete. It is hoped that before the

91

E.—l

end of this year a similar building will be erected at Temuka. The success of these classes is due almost entirely to the energy displayed by the local managers, and especially to the unremitting labours of the superintendents and directors. Physical Drill. —This subject has received attention in almost every school in the district, and while generally the work done is reported on by the Board's Inspectors as satisfactory, that of all the larger schools is worthy of special praise. In these latter the upper boys have been organized into cadet companies which are as efficient in their drill as many adult volunteer companies, and the physical training of the girls and lower standards has also received its full share of attention. Buildings.—The total receipts for buildings during the year was £4,877 6s. Besides the ordinary building grants for 1903-4 and £1,240 for 1904-5, £106 was received for rebuilding Orari Bridge School (which was destroyed by fire), £490 for new schools at Skipton and Chamberlain, £731 ss. from the sale of the old school-site (Waimate), £251 Is. from School Committees, and £25 from interest. The total expenditure on buildings was £2,690 Bs. 2d. This shows an apparent surplus of £2,186 17s. lOd. on the year's transactions ; but from this must be deducted £731 ss. proceeds of sale of the Waimate site, which in accordance with " The Waimate School-site Act, 1881," must be spent on buildings on the present Waimate School ground. Thus the surplus is reduced to £215 12s. lOd. At the end of the year the amount due by the Board, or to fall due under contracts and promised grants to School Committees, was £1,061 7s. 4d., or, including buildings at Waimate, £1,528 7s. 4d. During the year the Board has, in conjunction with other Boards, protested against the restriction of its functions and powers in the administration of its building funds. Under the conditions nowattached to building grants, the Board has no power to provide out of its ordinary funds any new school or any addition to a school, unless the addition is a small one, the cost of all such additions made in any year to be not more than 7 per cent, of the Board's grant, or about £150. The Board considers that this restriction of its administrative power is vexatious, and, further, is strongly of opinion that being on the spot its members are in a far better position to judge of the necessity or otherwise of such new buildings and additions than the officers of the Department in Wellington. Moreover, the long delays on the part of the Minister in dealing with applications for special grants for such buildings and additions cause great anxiety and annoyance to householders and committees, and seem to point to the fact that the Boards are the proper bodies to deal with such matters. This Board, in cases where it is called upon to recommend the erection of new schools and the choice of sites for the same, strongly protests against the action of the Department in sending other persons —outsiders having no official connection whatever with the education system of the colony— to review and, as it may be, to oppose and override the judgment of the Board itself, thus indicating distrust in the Board's recommendations and betraying a design, here as elsewhere, to supersede the Boards in the exercise of their own proper functions. Financial. —The Board's annual statement of receipts and expenditure has been certified as correct by the Audit Department. From the attached balance-sheet it will appear that the Board had a credit balance of £4,554 7s. 3d. at the end of the year, but from this must be deducted the £731 ss. already mentioned under the heading of " Buildings," and also £1,243 due to reserves revenue. Besides this, there were outstanding liabilities which would reduce this credit balance very materially. Still the Board can claim that it has maintained its policy of carefully husbanding its finances during the past year, and that at the end of the year it was at least in a position to meet all liabilities. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. W. B. Howell, Chairman.

OTAGO. Sir,— Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1905. In accordance with the provisions of section 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1904. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Hon. Thomas Fergus, Messrs. James Sim, Alexander Marshall, 8.A., Robert Peattie, M.A., Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.R., James Mitchell, Donald Borrie, William Nicolson, and William Snow. Messrs. Marshall, Peattie, and Sim were the members who retired. Messrs. Sim and Marshall were re-elected, and Mr. Andrew McKerrow replaced Mr. Peattie. Mr. Donald Borrie was elected Chairman. The Hon. Thomas Fergus and Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.R., 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-six meetings during the year. Number of Schools. —At the close of 1903 there were 220 schools in operation in the district. Four schools were opened and four closed. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 221 ; the Normal School, and the Model School in connection with it, being now reckoned as two schools. Teachers.—The Board has again to report that it has been quite unable to obtain certificated teachers for many of the smaller schools. It has consequently been found necessary to employ persons who, though fairly well educated, are quite inexperienced in teaching. The Inspectors attribute some of the unsatisfactory results of last year's work to the large number of inexperienced and unclassified teachers in charge of schools. Some years ago the Board had not one unclassified teacher in its employ, and now it has forty, and the number threatens to increase. There is, among parents and Committees in the country districts, a widespread and stongly expressed dissatisfaction with the supply of teachers in their schools, and with the frequent removal of teachers after a short period of service, and this dissatisfaction has now spread to the city and suburban School Committees. The Board is frequently appealed to, but it can do no more than it has done to remedy the defect in the supply of teachers. The remedy lies with the Legislature and the Education Department, and the country must look to them to remove the injustice under which so many children now lie. Under a compulsory system of education there should not be a single public-school teacher without a certificate, the " hall-mark " that the article which the State compels parents to accept for their children is the standard required. It is evident that more than training facilities are necessary to induce the requisite number of young men to enter the service. During the last year the Dunedin Training College had only two male students. Among the much-needed inducements to enter the service are higher remuneration, provision for possibly failing powers, and a superannuation scheme that will bring appreciably nearer to the young aspiring teacher the few prizes of the service, as well as provide for retirement in his old age. The fact cannot be disguised that the question of remuneration is a strong deterrent to clever young people entering a profession that is admittedly the worst-paid of the public service. The demand for a superannuation scheme comes not only from the teachers but from almost every School Committee in the district, and the urgency of the demand has been indorsed by the Board on more than one occasion. School Attendance. —There was an increase in the school attendance for the past year, except as regards the numbers at the close of the year. There was an increase of 239 in the number of pupils who attended at all during the year. There was an increase of eighteen in the attendance at the Dunedin schools, while the attendance at all the other schools showed an increase of 221. The figures relating to the average attendance show a total increase of 163 on the attendance of the previous year. The average attendance at the Dunedin schools has increased by forty-eight, and the increase at all the other schools in the district amounted to 115. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of weekly roll-number shows a decided improvement. The Dunedin and suburban and the Oamaru schools have risen to 90 per cent., the remaining schools have risen to 88 per cent., and the percentage for the whole district has risen from 86 - 8 per cent of last year to 88 - 6. In the sixty-three schools, constituting more than one-fourth of the whole, the percentage of average attendance was ninety or over. Head teachers and class-teachers are not without influence in securing regular attendance, and part of their reward lies in the improved working-conditions obtained. Scholarships.—Thirty-four scholarships (16 senior and 18 junior) were awarded at the examinations in December, 1904. There were in all 103 competitors, 20 for the senior and 79 for the junior scholarships. Free education at the various high schools within the education district 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 26 of the junior competitors qualified. Four senior and 13 junior competitors were disqualified on account of failing to obtain in one or other of the subjects at least 20 per cent, of the marks allotted to it. The amount expended on scholarships for the year was : Paid to scholarship-holders, £1,068 19s. 2d.; examination expenses, £45 9s. 2d. Truancy.—From the following statement an estimate may be formed of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy : eight hundred and thirteen notices were posted to parents and guardians for infringements of " The Education Act, 1904," section 141, and twenty-three notices served. Sixty-four notices under section 144 were served on parents whose children were not attending any school. Two hundred and eighty-eight penalty summonses were issued under section 145. Under the 288 penalty "summonses 263 convictions were obtained, fifteen cases were withdrawn owing to the production of exemption certificates, and ten cases were withdrawn. The total amount of fines inflicted for the year was £46 9s.

The'above return shows that the irregular attenders have been diligently looked after by the Truant Officer, and his efforts have without doubt materially assisted in improving the'sehool attendance. But with so wide an"area to supervise it is manifest that a few cannot but escape. With the assistance of the teachers the Truant Officer can keep in touch with those whose names are on the school rolls, but there are many children whose names are not on these rolls, possibly a few whose names are to be found on no school roll, and these it is very difficult to lay hold of. The following instructions have been issued by the Police Department: " The police will cautiously ascertain if on their heats, patrols, or sections there are any children over seven and under fourteen years of age not attending school, in contravention of the law ; and, if so, they will make a note of the facts, taking the names of the parents or guardians, at the same time (where necessary) explaining to them the law relative to school attendance. Leaflets containing extracts from the Act can be obtained from the Secretary to the Education Board. In cases where the law is being so contravened, reports thereof are to be made, so that notices as provided by the Act may be issued." Were the police occasionally during school hours to visit the haunts of idle boys and act in accordance with these instructions, and then communicate with the Truant Officer, they together with him might secure education for a number of neglected children. Inspection of Schools.—Although the table attached to the report of the Inspectors shows a decline in the number of pupils on the roll similar to that shown in the table of last year, the number of pupils present at the Inspectors' annual visit is only fifty-two less than the number present at the previous visit. The Inspectors consider that the latter number is more reliable for purposes of comparison than the former, and, making allowance for the number of pupils who left the Seventh Standard to occupy free places in the high schools, and for the number of pupils belonging to a school which, at the time of the annual visit was closed on account of sickness, they look upon the condition of attendance as more hopeful than it has been for years back. They do this the more that there is a marked increase in the number of pupils in the lower classes. In presenting their report on the efficiency of the schools during 1903, the Inspectors noted that the condition was not so satisfactory as that of 1902, and they attributed the falling-off to the severity of the weather and the prevalence of sickness, but also to the number of inexperienced and unclassified teachers whom the Board, in the absence of qualified teachers, had been compelled to appoint. So far as weather and general health are concerned the work of 1904 was done under normal conditions, as is clearly shown by the greater regularity of attendance, 88-6 per cent, of roll-number against 86-8 per cent, in 1903. The improved attendance should have helped towards greater efficiency, but the above table is almost identical with that of 1903. The Inspectors report that the majority of schools have improved as they should have done under the more favourable working-conditions, but too large a minority having" remained stationary, or having retrograded, the average efficiency has not been effected. In estimating the efficiency of a school the Inspectors take into account every subject as presented to them, and they state that in the future more and more importance will be attached to success or failure in the higher classes. The schools are grouped according to efficiency as follows: Good to very good, 42 per cent.; satisfactory, 42 per cent.; fair, 13 per cent.; weak to very weak, 3 per cent. The Inspectors remark also that many of the " good " approach " very good," and many of the " satisfactory " approach " good." In eighty-seven schools Seventh Standard classes had been taught, but from thirteen of these on the day of the annual visit all the pupils were absent. Seventh Standard.—This standard might well receive greater consideration from the Department. The Board many years ago realised the possibilities that lay in it, and drew up a syllabus of work for its teachers' guidance. Now the Department has done so, but the extra work entailed thereby on teachers, especially the teachers of outlying schools, has received no fitting acknowledgment. Whenever a school beyond a certain distance from a high school or a district high school is efficiently taught, and has an efficiently taught Seventh Standard, extra remuneration should be provided for the teacher. These classes have in the past successfully prepared pupils for matriculation, and the Board has in its schools teachers who owe to Seventh Standard teachers' instruction and guidance their own teachers' certificates, and who, without the opportunity the class afforded, would have been lost to the service. The Department not only withholds encouragement from this class, but provides an absolute discouragement in the training-college regulations recently issued. Manual and Technical Instruction.—The number of schools in which handwork classes earning Government capitation were held is fifty-four, which is about 25 per cent, of the schools. Handwork was, however, taken up in most of the schools with a staff of two or more teachers, and in some with only one teacher, but, feeling unable to comply with the time condition of the regulations, a large number of teachers took up this class of work, but did not give to it the time necessary to qualify for capitation. When the scheme of instruction in the manual and technical subjects was initiated some four years ago, the teachrs of this district evinced no great readiness to introduce the new subjects into their schools, the reason assigned being that, in their judgment, a considerable'curtailment of the prescription of work in some of the other subjects was necessary before the study of the various branches of handworkcould he entered upon by the pupils with advantage to the pupils and the general work of the schools ; and many teachers contend that they are in no better case under the new syllabus. The Department makes no grant for apparatus or material for classes that do not conform to its regulations as regards duration of instruction, programme of work. &c, and the Board has no fund for the purpose, so that, in schools where unrecognised handwork classes are conducted, the cost of the equipment and main13—E. 1.

tenance must be provided from local sources, that is by the School Committee or the teachers concerned. Apart from the elementary handwork of the infant departments, the subjects that seem to be most suitable and beneficial for the pupils of the schools of this district, and which, where instituted, have so far been very successfully carried on, are cottage-gardening and woodwork for boys and cookery for girls. Owing however, to the necessity for special rooms, fittings, and apparatus for woodwork and cookery, these two classes are about the most costly to equip, and the Department seems disinclined to sanction the starting of instruction in these subjects in any but the larger centres. Cottage-gardening—in the Board's opinion a subject eminently suitable for the pupils of country schools—has been authorised by the Department in connection with twenty-one schools. Applications have been forwarded to the Department for recognition of these classes in fourteen additional schools, but the Department's sanction to these has so far been withheld. Recently the Board had its attention drawn to the fact that, according to newspaper reports, the Minister of Education had expressed his intention to withdraw the grants for this subject, but the Board hopes that in this he has been misrepresented. In twenty-six of the schools that have an average attendance below forty-one instruction in needlework has been given. Special classes for instruction of teachers in woodwork and cookery were held during the year. Thirtytwo of the Board's female teachers sat for the London City and Guilds Examination in Plain Cookery, twenty-two obtaining first-class and ten second-class certificates. Eighteen of the Board's male teachers presented themselves for the London City and Guilds Examination in Woodwork (first year) and sixteen of them were successful in passing. A large number of country teachers have availed themselves of the Saturday forenoon classes in the various branches of drawing held at the Dunedin School of Act. Dunedin Training College.—During the year, the Training College was reorganized in accordance with the Department's memorandum regarding training-colleges and with the recommendations of the parliamentary Education Committee. The Board, aided by a Committee of Advice, is to have the control and management of the Training College in its district. Regulations for the government of the College were drafted, and on the 24th October these were sent to the Department, which acknowledged receipt of them, but did not, within the year now under review, express either approval or disapproval of them. In its last report the Board described the present Normal School building as unsuitable for the purposes of a training-college, and expressed the hope that immediate provision might be made for the erection of a suitable building in Stuart Street. The appointments and equipment of a trainingcollege should in every respect be of the best; those of the Normal School are in many respects of the worst, and the building has ever been viewed as merely affording tentative provision for training purposes. The Board would again urge the necessity for providing an up-to-date building as soon as possible. Physical Drill. —Instruction in this subject has been given in a satisfactory manner in all the schools in the district. Saturday classes for the instruction of the pupil-teachers in physical exercises and drill have been carried on as in previous years, and have been attended by nearly all the pupilteachers in the district. The pupil-teachers have also received lessons in swimming. A teachers' drill class has been held at Oamaru; thirteen lessons were given and twenty-three teachers attended, the average attendance being seventeen. Finance. —The sum expended in teachers' salaries, including house and lodging allowances, was £61,521 16s. Bd. ; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,763 2s. 2d. ; the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £8,575 9s. 9d. The receipts for school buildings include ordinary building grant, £11,918; special grant, £315; house allowances to teachers, £247 10s. ; local contributions, £129 17s. Bd. ; deposits on contracts, £66 10s. ; special grants for Technical School buildings, and furniture, fittings, &c, for same, £722 2s. 7d. ; total, £13,399 os. 3d (including £7,523, Government grant for year 1903-4). The main items of expenditure on buildings were —general maintenance (repairs, alterations, and small additions), £5,916 18s. ; rebuilding, £848 Is. lOd. ; new buildings, £1,090 9s. lid. ; house allowances, £245 ; for manual and technical purposes, £885 16s. At the end of the year the Buildings Account was overdrawn £3,604 9s. Bd. ; but against this there was the unpaid portion of the Government grant for general maintenance for the financial year ending the 31st March, 1905, amounting to £4,395, and special grants amounting to £1,450. The Board anticipates that by the end of the financial year the amount available for buildings will be more than expended. The total amount to credit of all accounts at the close of the year was £1,642 4s. Bd. By order of the Board, P. G. Pryde, Secretary. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

SOUTHLAND. g IR Education Office, Invercargill, 18th March, 1905. In compliance with the provisions of clause 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," the Board of the Education District of Southland has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year ended the 31st December, 1904. The Board. —For the third year in succession the personnel of the Board has undergone no alteration. Out of four candidates nominated for the three vacant positions, Messrs. D. Gilchrist, T. MacGibbon, and W. B. Scandrett were re-elected. Messrs. W. Macalister and J. C. Thomson were for the third time duly elected to represent the Board's interests on the Board of Governors for the Southland High Schools. Mr. Mac Gibbon continued to act as a member of the Board of the School Commissioners. During the year twelve ordinary and two special meetings of the Board were held. At the September meeting, Mr. John Cowie was elected Chairman. Schools. —For several years past the number of schools (if we except the establishment of " household " schools) has increased but slightly. This is probably accounted for by the fact that while new settlement in the district has by no means ceased, the more remote parts in which schools had previously been established are being more thickly populated, resulting in an increase of the aggregate attendance at the schools in existence, rather than in a demand for more schools. The number of schools in operation at the close of 1903 was 155. Six were opened during the year, and one was closed. There were thus 160 schools on our register on the 31st December last. School Attendance. —To discuss the question of attendance at any length would, in a large measure, be but to reiterate the statements and opinions expressed in the reports of past years. Generally speaking, however, the Board has to express gratification at the fact that the very creditable record of the past few years has been well maintained, and believes that the persistent and impartial administration of the School Attendance Act has had a beneficial effect on the average attendance of recent years. It cannot, however, be too strongly impressed on the general public that the State requires of all its citizens that at least they shall possess a sound education up to the requirements of the Fifth Standard ; and the Education Boards generally are alive to the fact that a beneficient law exists not to harass those who are anxious for the educational welfare of their offspring, but to compel the careless and indifferent to do their duty in this matter.

E.—l.

The average attendance for the year was 8,319, and the mean average weekly roll was 9,605. The corresponding numbers for the preceding year were 8,200 and 9,642 respectively. From these figures it will be seen that though the schools (ordinary and household) increased by five year, the roll-number decreased by thirty-seven pupils. The average attendance, however, under the same'conditions, increased by 119—a most satisfactory feature. The percentage of average attendance to weekly roll-number is now 866. This, as well as the actual average for the year (8,319), constitutes a record for this educational district. Teachers.—At the close of the year 1904 there were in the service of the Board 275 primary teachers and four special assistants employed in the district high schools. The proportion of sexes was 157 females and 122 males. The Board offers every inducement in its power to eligible young men to enter the service, and yet the proportion of males to females continues to decrease. This decrease has been continuous for some years past. On the whole satisfactory service is being rendered by the Board's teaching staff. For a large proportion of the less important positions the services of certficated teachers are not available, and these have to be filled by the appointment of young people many of whom have had but limited experience, and some no experience at all. In the establishment of fully equipped training-colleges in each of the four chief centres of the colony, and subsidiary institutions m the less important educational districts, the Board hopes to see a solution of this problem Of course, managers of the smaller schools cannot hope to secure the benefit of highly trained or experienced teachers, yet some knowledge of the art of teaching and a fairly liberal education might reasonably be expected from those who aspire to success in the profession. There are now in the Board's employ no less than sixty-four adult teachers (including sole teachers mistresses, and assistants) who were uncertificated at the end of the year. Several of these have since that date, passed the " E " or " D " teachers' examination, and are now entitled to classification ■ others have obtained " partial passes." In all seventeen teachers in this district secured promotion ' io.ni " ard noteS Wlth livel y satisf action the passing of "The Education Act Amendment Act 1904, under which a partially new scale of teachers' salaries has been introduced. This new scale is a manifest improvement in certain directions to that in operation since the passing of " The Publicschool Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," but this Board is of opinion that the disparity still existing in the salaries of the first assistant teachers in grades 9 and 10 should be further modified. Pupil-teachers.—This branch of the service, though not now such an important factor in our education system as formerly, still continues to supply in some degree the demand for trained teachers It is true that the pupil-teacher system is faulty as a means of providing an adequate supply of trained teachers ; yet now, as in the past, it is difficult to see how the exigencies of the less important districts could be met in the absence of a sufficient number of training institutions, the output of which would supply the demand. In the revision of teachers' salaries made by the passing of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1904," no provision was made for increasing the salaries of male pupil-teachers lhe salaries at present paid are altogether inadequate as an inducement for promising lads to engage m this work, the result being that as a rule the best material is denied to this branch of the nubile service. r The customary examination of pupil-teachers in this district was held in June last, when thirty-one candidates presented themselves, of whom twenty-six passed to a higher class and five failed to gain promotion. The work presented by the candidates was reported by the Inspectors as "on the whole better than that to which we have been accustomed in recent years." Several who presented themselves obtained special mention for the excellence of their papers. In the opinion of the Board's Inspectors the sooner the pupil-teacher is eliminated from the educational machinery of the colony the better it will be for the cause of education." Scholarships —The scholarship regulations are still in process of revision. At the examination held in December last scholarships were—so far as the monetary value and the number to be awarded were concerned—allocated on the basis of the proposed new regulations, the Education Department agreeing to the Board's suggestions that this course should be adopted. The result of this change succinctly put, amounts to a reduction of the value of resident scholarships from £15 to £5 and of nonresident scholarships from £35 to £30, free places at the high schools being claimed for all successful competitors ; the net result is that the winners of the former (resident) will be in exactly the same position as under the old regulations, and the latter (non-resident) will profit to the extent of £5 per annum Under this system of allotment the Board has been able this year to award eleven junior and three extension (senior) scholarships—a greater number than has hitherto been apportioned amongst the schools of this education district. National Scholarships.—The examination for National Scholarships was conducted under the supervision of the Board's Inspectors and Secretary, two scholarships being awarded to the district 1 it is worthy of note that the successful candidates for National Scholarships also occupied very creditable places—the third and ninth—on the Board's list of scholarship-winners. Of course in accepting the National Scholarships they relinquished the Board's scholarships, which were of lesser It might be here mentioned that, for all practical purposes, the one examination might have answered in making the awards for both classes of scholarships—National and Board's —and there seems no adequate reason why the amount allocated for National Scholarships should not, under proper restrictions, be handed over to Boards for distribution, and so save the expensive anomaly of holdine two examinations when one would suffice. *i. The notes with disfavour the fact that, under the restrictions contained in the regulations these scholarships can only be regarded as " class " scholarships-not as a reward to the ablest and most efficient of the the schools of the district as a whole. Why, for example, should the child of parents whose income is over £250 per annum be disqualified from competing when the

X.—l

child of a parent with an income of £249 is ehgioie i Why also should the successful competitors be restricted to certain classes of schools gauged by the average attendance ; or why should not more than one scholarship be awarded to the pupils of any one school ? There seems no adequate reason why " National" scholarships should not be truly national, and be open for competition amongst all classes of the community and awarded simply according to merit, an age-limit being the only restriction. District High Schools. —The district high schools at Gore, Riverton, and Winton have continued in operation during the year. Financially, the secondary departments of these schools at Gore and Riverton have been quite successful, while the revenue at Winton has not yet met the expenditure, the deficiency for the year amounting to £26 15s. 2d. Bonuses to the teachers at Riverton for the year 1903, amounting to £25, were paid, and the surplus arising from the working of the secondary department at Gore was carried forward. Sewing, Teaching of. —For schools in charge of a male teacher whose average attendance is under forty-one, the services of sewing-mistresses have, as far as possible, been secured. Instruction in this important subject is now available for practically every girl in the district. Apart from the regular staff, there were employed during the year forty-five sewing-teachers, the capitation earned in respect of this subject being £239 12s. 3d., which sum, since the close of the year, has been paid over to the respective teachers. Manual and Technical Instruction.—lt will be seen from the report of the Director of Technical Instruction that substantial progress has been made during the year in his department. For various reasons, but chiefly owing to the delay experienced in securing a suitable site on which the principal section of the new Technical School could be placed, the erection of the building for which a grant has been set apart has not yet been begun. Tenders for the work will be invited without further delay. The financial results of the year's operations, when the statement of assets and liabilities is taken into account, will be found quite satisfactory. In the director's balance-sheet the actual state of the accounts cannot be definitely set forth owing to the fact that most of the expenditure has been incurred, while payment of the greater portion of the Board's claims for capitation, &c, could not be made till after the close of the year, when the returns on which the claims are based were forwarded and approved. Physical Training.—ln terms of section 137, subsection (3), of " The Education Act, 1904," the Board has to report that the services of the physical instructor have been continued during the year just ended. As in the previous year he has been regularly employed in this work on the same lines as formerly, devoting a portion of his time to the more important schools in and around Invercargill, and the remainder to the periodical visitation of schools in the country districts. From a perusal of the examination reports of the Inspectors presented to the Board from time to time, it will be inferred that the subject of physical instruction has received adequate attention in almost every school in the district throughout the year. Instruction of Teachers. —The Board has to report that the annual vote for the instruction of teachers in the various forms of hand-and-eye work has been profitably spent. Classes were carried on with a considerable measure of success during the months of winter and spring, the practical outcome of which should be manifested in increased efficiency in the teaching of these subjects in the schools of the district. A course of lessons in physiography was delivered by Messrs. F. W. Hilgendorf, M.A., B.Sc, Science Master in the Southland High Schools, and H. 0. Stuckey, M.A., B.Sc, the latter succeeding the former on his leaving the district. The course was held on Saturdays and was attended by about a hundred and twenty teachers with commendable regularity, and much interest was evoked in the study of the subjects treated. Financially, it may be noted that the special vote of £150 promised by the Department for this work was more than absorbed, and the current year's vote slightly anticipated. Buildings.—The total receipts for the year for building purposes were £7,801, made up as follows : Balance of ordinary building vote for 1903, £3,569 ; special grants for the erection of schools and additions to schools, £1,885 12s. lOd. ; first instalment of building vote for 1904, £2,153; proceeds sale of sites, £109 ss. ; donations to Building Account, £84 18s. Bd. The expenditure totalled £5,117 2s. 7d., showing a surplus of £2,684 13s. lid. In addition to the ordinary expenditure on general maintenance of school buildings, erection of outhouses, fencing, &c. (amounting this year to £2,830 Bs. 7d.), there has been expended in the erection of new school buildings, additions, furniture, and sites a sum of £2,286 14s. For most of the new schools and additions to schools the special vote received from the Department nearly or altogether covered the actual cost, but for some the vote promised came far short of meeting the expenditure. The Department has, however, promised further consideration of the Board's claim in respect of the addition to the Gore District High School. The small building at Holmesdale was erected at the sole cost of the Board, the application for a special grant being held over till a permanent structure is erected. The vexatious restrictions recently imposed by the Department in the purposes to which the ordinary building grant may be applied will, if carried into effect, seriously impair the Board's efficiency of administration in this particular direction. If, as has been publicly alleged, some Boards have misapplied the grants received for building purposes, surely that is no adequate reason for hampering the usefulness of others that have not been guilty of such maladministration. It is well that the Board's constituents should note that while such restrictions as have been referred to are enforced, the Board has no power to authorise out of the ordinary building funds the erection of any but the smallest additions to school

buildings, and then only if the aggregate expenditure does not exceed 7 per cent, (roughly, about £300) of the annual grant for school buildings, and this no matter how urgent the Board or School Committee may consider the work to be. In other words, all additions, with the exception stated, must be made out of special grants specially approved by the Department. While the Board heartily recognises the liberality of the Government in the provision it has made in many cases for the erection of school buildings in outlying districts, and for additions to schools in districts where, by reason of an increase in the population, the necessity for extended accommodation has arisen, yet it cannot avoid reference to at least two glaring instances where the making of a grant has been delayed far beyond reasonabls limits. Repeated representations extending over a period of two years as to the urgent necessity for the erection of a school building at Waicola have been made, as also in the case of Lumsden where the school is uncomfortably overcrowded, and in respect of which district an addition to the building was applied for eight months ago. In these two instances the Board respectfully submits that the delay which has occurred in dealing finally and definitely with its applications acts prejudicially to the interests of education in these districts. Financial. —The Board's annual statement of receipts and expenditure has been submitted to and certified by the Auditor-General, and a copy thereof transmitted to your Department. In connection with this statement it seems that the form of balance-sheet (Return No. 3) supplied by your Department is not acceptable to the Auditor-General; neither is the supplementary form (Return No. 4), which contains a " Statement of Balances of Special Accounts " for the year, sufficient for the purposes of audit. The Board's Treasurer has therefore this year, as last, had to prepare special forms of balance-sheet for the Auditor. If, for the convenience of each of the Departments in question, it is necessary to have special forms of balance-sheet, the Board suggests that the proper forms should be mutually agreed on by the respective Departments, printed and supplied to Boards, along with the other departmental forms of annual returns. Last year, when some little friction occurred in connection with this matter, the Board made such a suggestion. Returning to a consideration of this year's balance-sheet, the Board has to report favourably with respect to its financial operations. The aggregate income for the year, exclusive of the balance to credit carried forward, amounted to £46,834 13s. 4d., and the actual expenditure to £44,700 3s. 5d., the net surplus being thus £2,134 9s. 1 Id. The actual balance to credit of the Board's accounts at the close of the year is £4,002 6s. Bd., apportioned as follows : To general Account, £655 12s. 3d. ; to Building Account, £3,346 14s. sd. The Board's finance has been carefully safeguarded, and, as has been the case ever since its constitution, it stands at the close of another year with a credit balance sufficient at least to meet all possible liabilities. By order of the Board. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Cowie, Chairman.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS.

AUCKLAND. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Auckland, 7th July, 1905. I have the honour to forward the accounts of the School Commissioners for the year 1904. With regard to the exception taken by the Auditor-General to a payment for rates, a refund of part of the amount has been obtained, and steps will be taken to recover the balance. The income from reserves continues to be satisfactory, and tenants have paid up their rents fairly well. The amounts paid over for primary and secondary education were £3,800 and £915 lis. 3d. respectively. During the year £1,209 10s. of the Endowments Fund was invested in freehold city property. The reserves let comprised thirty-seven small village lots, and twenty-one country sections, including seven relet after expiry of first leases. The net additional annual rental secured was £386 17s. 9d. Country lands set apart of late years are readily taken up when made available, but many applicants are disappointed at the delay which takes place in vesting lands in the Commissioners. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. R. Udy, Chairman.

I have the honour to hand you herewith a copy of the Board's annual statement of accounts and balance-sheet for the year ended the 31st December, 1904, the same having been duly certified by the Controller and Auditor-General. No leasing has taken place during the period, the only land available being recently vested areas of bush country, remote from roads and settlement, and which it has not been expedient to place on the market. Probably all the reserves now unlet will be offered in the coming spring. The only change which has taken place in the membership of the Board is the replacement of our esteemed late colleague, Mr. James Mackenzie (Commissioner of Crown Lands), by his successor in office, Mr. F. Simpson, the other Commissioners being Messrs. Faull and Wade representing the Taranaki Education Board, and Mr. E. G. Allsworth and myself appointed by the Crown. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. R, Cock, Chairman.

WELLINGTON.

Sir, — Office of School Commissioners, Wellington, 14th February, 1905. I have the honour to forward the report and statement of receipts and expenditure of the School Commissioners for the Provincial District of Wellington for the year ended the 31st December last. The following are the members of the Board of Commissioners : Mr. J. R. Blair (Chairman), Mr. A. W. Hogg, M.H.R., Mr. F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.R., Mr. F. Pirani, and Mr. John Strauchon, Commissioner of Crown Lands. /"'During the year seventeen reserves, comprising an area of 8,977 acres 1 rood 21 perches, were vested in the Commissioners, making a total area of reserves now registered in the name of the Commissioners of 100,222 acres 1 rood 14 perches, of which 5,502 acres 1 rood (consisting mainly of rough and inferior country) are at present unlet. The sales of leases for the year resulted in twenty tenants taking up an area of 6,855 acres 2 roods 14 perches at an annual rent of £449 13s. 9d., which brings the total number of lessees now on the books up to 465, holding an area of 94,720 acres and 14 perches, and paying therefor an annual rental of £6,058 4s. Bd. The Commissioners still labour under the disability of being unable to subdivide valuable endowments, the leases of which are falling in from time to time, and some of which are eminently suitable for cutting up into smaller lots, and would yield a greatly increased revenue if so dealt with. This is owing to the provisions of section 21 of " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," barring the Commissioners from expending any portion of the funds administered by them on the construction of the subdivisional roads required by " The Public Works Acts Amendment Act, 1900 " ; and the Commissioners wish again to state that in their opinion it is very desirable, in the interests of the educational bodies for whom they act as trustees, that they should be given power to undertake such expenditure in cases where they consider it necessary. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. R. Blair, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 18th March, 1905. I have the honour to forward herewith statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year ended the 31st December, 1904, duly audited, and to report as follows : — An auction sale of leases was held during the year, when thirteen town sections and seven rural sections were offered. The whole of the sections were sold, the town and rural sections realising an aggregate annual rental of £72 10s. and £167 16s. respectively. For one of the rural sections (which had previously been held under lease) a rental of £102 was obtained, as against the old rental of £31 7s. 3d. All the town sections had previously been leased at slightly higher rentals. A further sum of £109 18s. has been expended in rabbiting during the year. The sum of £1,271 was obtained for timber on six of the rural sections sold. I have, &c, Eric C. Gold Smith, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

John Staines, Chairman. A. J. Morton, Secretary. Examined and found correct except (1) that the statement of assets and liabilities is wrong in (a) not showing as an asset the sum of £23 18s. 9d., the amount at credit of the Commissioners at the Bank of New Zealand; (b) showing an amount of £36 18s. 2d. as an asset, and a sum of £12 19s. sd. as a liability, neither of these sums being an asset nor a liability of the Commissioners; (2) that an amount of £12 19s. sd. derived from secondary education reserves has unlawfully been used for the use of primary education.—J. K. Warburton, Controller and Auditor-General.

CANTERBURY. Government Buildings, Christchurch, 7th January, 1905. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, Ihave the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1904, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the primary-education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1904, was 67,172 acres, producing an annual rental of £18,521 4s. 4d. ; of this area 23,315 acres is contained in what is known as Pastoral Run No. 5. The fixed deposit of £163 3s. sd. which matured on the 22nd December last (and is only[available for the purchase of land) has been renewed for one year. ; During the year eight reserves were relet; three of these by arbitration under clause 244 of " The Land Act, 1892," and five suitable for grazing purposes only by public tender. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Rennie, Chairman.

OTAGO. Sir, — Education Reserves Office, Dunedin, 23rd May, 1905. In accordance with Order in Council of the 15th December, 1878,1 have the honour to forward herewith the report of the School Commissioners for the Otago Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1904. During the year the Commissioners leased fourteen reserves for agricultural purposes, nine for pastoral purposes, and forty-one town sections in various parts of the provincial district. The area of the agricultural lands was 2,234 acres, leased to twenty-six tenants at £369 Is. 9d. per annum, or an average of 3s. 3fd. per acre ; the area of the pastoral land was 1,677 acres leasedto seven tenants at £77 lis. 3d. per annum, or ll T \;d. per acre ; and the area of the town sections, 10 acres 1 rood, leased to thirty-nine tenants at £27 2s. 6d. per annum. The Commissioners' rent-roll now contains 890 tenants. The total area of the endowments vested in the School Commissioners of Otago is 390,253 acres, and the present annual rent is £13,724 6s. 3d. The particulars of the holdings are as follows : Under pastoral lease 258,671 acres, and the present annual rent is £1,832 6s. lid. ; under agricultural lease 128,860 acres, at £10,975 2s. per annum ; under town and suburban lease 2,722 acres, at £916 17s. 4d. per annum. The sum of £39,649 12s. Id. is invested on mortgage over freehold securities bringing in £1,822 6s. Bd. per annum, or £4 lis. lOd. per cent. In addition, the sum of £2,800 is in the Bank of New Zealand on fixed deposit. In the selection of securities the Commissioners have been careful to choose such securities as could be profitably added to the endowment in the event of the land falling into their hands under power of mortgage, and in each case a valuation has been made by a competent valuer, showing a margin of one-third over the advance. During the year the sum of £768 was received on account of repayment of loans. Of the sum of £4,575 18s. Id. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as rent in arrear on the 31st December last, the sum of £2,843 15s. lOd. has since been collected. As explained in former reports the rents are debited half-yearly in advance, and the greater proportion of these, which become due in the last half of the year, are rarely paid until after harvest in the following year. Of the sum of £1,431 9s. lOd. shown in the statement of accounts as expenses of management, £29 9s. appears on the other side under the heads of costs received for preparation of leases by the Commissioners' staff, and office rent (£10), and should therefore be deducted from the expenses of management. The sum of £76 12s. lid. was paid to the Government for train fares, stamps, and telegrams. The sum of £770 1 Is. Id. was expended in the permanent improvement of the endowments by tile draining and river-protection. During the past year the absolute necessity for a closer inspection of the agricultural holdings having made itself manifest to the Commissioners, they decided to appoint a ranger with a practical knowledge of farming, for the purpose of making a periodical and systematic inspection of each holding, and ascertaining whether the cropping conditions of the leases are being strictly adhered to. To do this he has been furnished with pocket-maps and field-books, in which he shows a plan of each field on the farm, and gives detailed information regarding the crops so that the rotation provided for in the leases can be insisted on. As the holdings are scattered over nearly the whole of Otago and Southland, their proper inspection is necessarily a work of some magnitude, and adds very considerably to the cost of management, but the Commissioners are already satisfied that the extra expense is fully justified. The Commissioners take this opportunity of referring to charges that have been brought against them from time to time by a certain section of their tenants in the Waikaia, Wendon, and Wendonside districts, which contain a considerable area of the education endowments, that the Commissioners have hindered settlement by their mode of administering the reserves, the principal complaints being— first, that the term of the Commissioners' leases is too short; second, that valuation for improvements

is restricted to fencing and buildings ; third, that while part of the revenue from Crown lands in the districts mentioned is paid to the local authority for road construction and maintenance, the School Commissioners (who own a large proportion of the land) decline to contribute anything. With reference to the term of leases and valuation for improvements, I would explain that the Commissioners during November last visited the districts named in a body for the purpose of hearing their tenants in connection with their grievances, and, having satisfied themselves with the views generally expressed regarding the two subjects mentioned, they resolved to make provision in leases for a renewal at the end of the term, which is at present limited by statute to twenty-one years. They also resolved to grant valuation for plantations, orchards, drains, and grass in addition to fencing and fixtures. In regard to the lastmentioned complaint, I may say that the Commissioners have no statutory power to grant subsidies for roads. In the older districts of Otago and Southland, where the most of the Commissioners' tenants are located, the relations of landlord and tenant are mutually satisfactory, and, as far as the Commissioners are aware, few (if any) grievances exist. The statement of income and expenditure, with balance-sheet, for the year ending the 31st December, 1904, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General, was forwarded to your Department on the 2nd instant.

CIRCULARS.

Education Department, Wellington, 16th June, 1904. (Circular to Education Boards.) I am directed to send, for the consideration of your Board, the following suggestions for the amendment of its Scholarship Regulations : — 1. As a consequence of the policy of granting free secondary education to qualified pupils and of the increase in the number of district high schools, it is suggested that the scholarships given by Education Boards should be more and more devoted to the maintenance of scholars from country schools who have to board away from home in order to obtain secondary education. 2. Education Board scholars may be admitted if they come under clause 3 (a) or clause 3 (c) of the Secondary School Regulations at all secondary schools except four in the colony, and at those four they may be admitted under clause 17. 3. The age-limit for junior scholars should be not higher than fourteen years, in order that the holders may not be too old to gain the full benefit of a secondary-school course. 4. The best date for scholarship examinations would be in November or December, as the school year in all the secondary schools begins with the calendar year. 5. The National Scholarships examination affords one means of obtaining free places at secondary schools, and Boards of Education may award their junior scholarships according to the marks gained by their candidates at such examination. This examination will in future probably be held in December. Some Boards have already adopted this plan. 6. The free places granted in the first instance under clause 3 or clause 17 are continued if the holder satisfies the conditions of clause 12 ; accordingly, in like manner, the Civil Service Junior Examination will be available for such Boards as desire it as an examination for the purpose of awarding their senior or continuation scholarships. It is proposed to reduce the fee to those candidates who are not also candidates for entrance into the Civil Service of the colony from £1 to 2s. 6d. These arrangements come into force at the examinations in December next. 7. Board regulations should provide that their scholarships are not tenable with National Scholarships, or with any other scholarships or exhibitions, except as indicated in clause 3 (a) of the Secondary School Regulations. 8. In case of removal of the parents from one education district to another provision should be made, if need be, for the continuance of the scholarship ; and, as far as possible, provision should be made for the variation, where necessary, of the scholarships of those removing from one part to another of the same education district. 9. In order not to clash with the Secondary School Regulations (clauses 10 and 11) the syllabus for the senior scholarships of the Board should not give preference to any subject except English and arithmetic ; nor should Latin be compulsory; nor should any pupil be compelled to take more than one foreign language, if any. G. Hogben, Secretary for Education. Education Department, Wellington, 28th June, 1904. The Secretary, Education Board, The Government having taken into consideration the general question of making allowances for the conveyance of children to school, I am directed to inform you that such allowances will be granted as follows :

(Circular.) Education Department, Wellington, 20th January, 1905. The Secretary, Education Board, The ordinary grants for school buildings have been uistributed in accordance vjith the reports of the Education Committee of the House of Representatives, 1903 and 1904. he amount allotted to your education district is thu.. In future it is the intention of the Government to follow the recommendation of the Education Committee in regard to the distribution of the building votes, and I have further to ask you that the moneys thus distributed shall be expended in strict accordance with the recommendations of the Committee and with the appropriation of Parliament. Accordingly the purposes for which this grant (" the ordinary grant") is available are as follows : Maintenance, renewal and rebuilding of school buildings (including apparatus, fencing, furniture, &c.) ; maintenance of school residences ; rent of buildings used for school purposes in cases in which special grants are not given ; small alterations and additions, the total amount expended for all schools in the district under this head in any calendar year not to exceed 7 per cent, of the ordinary grant for school buildings, and the additional floor-space provided in any one school or residence out of the same vote in any calendar year not to exceed 400 square feet.
