EEPOET.

Office of the Department of Education, Wellington, 12th September, 1906. My Lord,— 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 December, 1905. I have, &c, GrEO. FoWLDS. His Excellency the Eight Hon. Baron Plunket, Governor of New Zealand.

In this Report and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-G-eneraPs 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," " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," and " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," and also all the principal statistics relating to matters which are more fully dealt with 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.-13, Public Libraries. Pupils in Public Schools. In the schools throughout the colony the total average attendance, which in 1904 showed an increase of 3,459 over the previous year's return, rosejin 1905 to 120,265, a number which exceeds the total for 1904 by 3,759. The increase for the year thus shown is greater than any occurring since the year 1894. There has been a small increase in attendance throughout the year ; a noticeable feature is that the falling-ofl during the second and third quarters of the year, due chiefly to the severity of the winter weather, has almost disappeared. The variation between the lowest and highest total attendance for the quarters of 1905 was only 796, as against 2,127 for the previous year. The attendance for the first quarter was 120,281 ; for the second, 120,126 ; for the third, 119,929; and for the fourth, 120,725.

TABLE A1.—School Attendance and Yearly Increase from 1877 to 1905.

In the average of the weekly roll-numbers there is an increase of 2,189 for the year. The figures for 1904 were 136,282 and 138,471 for 1905. At the end of the year the number on the roll was 137,623, as against 135,475 for the previous year, an increase of 2,148. Although the standard of regularity of attendance last year compared very favourably with that of any other country in the world, it was even higher for 1905 —86 - 9 per cent., as compared with 85 - 5 per cent, for 1904, an increase of 1"4 per cent. In the first quarter the average daily attendance was 868 per cent, of the average weekly roll-number, in the second quarter 86*6 per cent., in the third quarter, 86*9 per cent., and in the fourth 871 per cent. The increase in total average attendance was as usual much greater last year in the North Island than in the South. In 1899 the average attendance for the South Island was 56,486 ; in 1900 this fell to 56,111, in 1901 to 55,358 ; a recovery in 1902 brought it up to 56,110, and a further fall in 1903 reduced it to 54,422. In spite of the increase of 1,061 for 1904, and an additional 549 for 1905, the South Island has still 454 less than it had in 1899.

TABLE A2. —Comparison of School Attendance, &c.—continued.

It will be seen from this table that there has been a very marked increase in average attendance in the Auckland District, placing it well ahead of other districts in this respect. The next largest increases shown are in the Wellington, Wanganui, Hawke's Bay and North Canterbury Districts, in none of which, however, is the rate of increase noted in the previous year fully maintained. 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 falling-off 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 period (1895-1905) the increase in the North Island has amounted to 30 per cent., and the decrease in the South Island to 4J 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.

TABLE A3. —School Attendance for 1905.

As regards regularity of school attendance in the several parts of the colony, it is a very gratifying fact that there has been a marked improvement in every district in the colony. Otago, which ever since 1901 has stood at the head of the list, still maintains that position with the fine percentage of 89*7, I*l per cent, higher even than last year. Westland, with a percentage of 89 "3, and South Canterbury with 88 "2 hold second and third places. Auckland, Wellington, and Wanganui have the highest percentages in the North Island.

Island shows a greater degree of regularity of attendance than the North, the respective rates being 87"5 per cent, and 864 per cent, of the average weekly roll. In 1904 the figures were 865 per cent, and 84*6 per cent, respectively.

Table A4.—Children of Maori and Mixed Races attending Public Schools, December, 1905.

As will be seen from the above table the number of children of Maori and mixed race attending public schools has increased in 1905 by 340—namely, from 3,446 to 3,786 ; the number of such children in the Maori village schools is also greater by, 109, rising from 3,754 in 1904 to 3,863 in 1905 ; while the number of scholars attending the Native boarding-schools has increased by 22, from 263 to 285. The total increase of pupils of Maori and mixed race in the colony thus amounts to 471, an advance of 63 per cent, on the number previously recorded.

TABLE B.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1905.

Table B shows the age and sex of the pupils on the rolls of the public schools of the colony at the end of 1905 and the percentage of the roll at each age. It will be seen that whereas the percentage has remained fairly constant in the case of children from six to fourteen years, it is slowly increasing in the case of pupils from five to six years of age, and diminishing in that of pupils of fourteen years and over. This latter is probably due to the facilities for obtaining free education at secondary schools. In Table No. 2 of 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 five years, 52*28 per cent, as compared with 4772 per cent. Taking the average for the last five years, it is found that for every 100 boys on the roll there were 92 girls. Inspection and Examination.

portion of pupils in the preparatory classes, which has for years past been showing a gradual increase, shows a still further increase for the year from 27*97 to 28"28. The proportions in Standards I, V, and VI have also increased; those in 11, 111, IV, and VII show a slight decrease.

TABLE C1. —Classification by Pupils, December, 1905.

The tendency for the last few years has been for the number of children in preparatory classes to increase in undue proportion to the total number of children under eight years of age. The figures for 1905 indicate that this tendency has received a check, which there is reason to hope will not prove merely temporary. In the proportion of children enrolled in preparatory classes, a further increase of o#3l0 # 31 per cent, is shown, but the returns record a much larger increase in the totals under eight years of age, in which an advance from 40,039 to 40,933 is to be noted, an increase of 2*19 per cent.

TABLE C2.—Examination Statistics for 1905.

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 number of certificates of proficiency and competency issued. It will be seen that the largest number of certificates has been issued by the Auckland, Otago, and Wellington Boards. Table C 3 shows the average ages of the children in the several standards at the time of the Inspector's annual visit, also thejmean of the average ages in each case for the colony as a whole. The average age of those in Standard V, the " standard of exemption," was in Auckland and Westland 12 years and 7 months, and in Taranaki 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 1905 was 12 years and 10 months, the same as that for the previous year. The average age for the colony of the pupils in Standard VI at the time of the annual visit of the Inspector was 13 years 9 months, which is precisely the same as the average for the two preceding years.

by the several districts differ by 5 months only, the lowest age being found in Auckland, 13 years 7 months, and the highest in Hawke's Bay, 14 years 0 months. As to the age at which pupils in this standard obtained certificates of competency and certificates of proficiency respectively no precise information is available, but the average already given in conjunction with the proportion receiving one or other class of certificate in this standard—B4 per cent, of those present —serves to show that the pupils failing to obtain such a certificate before attaining the age of fourteen years must be comparatively small.

TABLE D. —Number of Pupils instructed in Separate Subjects, December, 1905.

In Table D are given the numbers of children receiving instruction in the several subjects. For the purpose of this return reading, spelling, writing, and composition are grouped together under the heading " English," and some other alterations are made which are rendered necessary by alterations in the programme prescribed. " Object-lessons," for instance, disappears, as it has disappeared from the syllabus of instruction, and its place is taken by " nature-study," which is here grouped with " elementary science," from which in general it is not to be distinguished. In English and arithmetic the nambers returned remain practically identical with the roll-numbers, following them in the upward grade ; under the heading " physical instruction " a further marked increase is shown in the number receiving some definite course of training, and drawing and singing also include a somewhat larger proportion of the whole ; but the most notable increase is again shown in the

addition s |to*the number reported as receiving instruction in handwork of various forms,' a which|brings ne mcrease under this heading during two successive yearsljto a total of nearly 43,000, an increase of over 30 per cent, of the roll-number. On the other hand, reductions are found in geography, history, needlework, and in nature-study and elementary science. Of these the decrease under the last heading, as the representative of the object-lessons and elementary science of the earlier returns, is much the greatest. This does not of necessity mean that less attention is given in the schools to such an all-important feature ; it probaby means in part that the instruction under this heading in the smaller class of school has taken a different form, definite lessons, which under the circumstances were often of doubtful value being now dropped, and their place taken more or less by such incidental cultivation of an interest in nature as may be secured in various ways — e.g., by the teacher's informal chats, by the adaptation of other subjects to the purpose, and by the use of nature notebooks recording the children's own observations. In part also the difference is explainable on the ground that in an increasing number of the larger schools science classes have, with an improvement in the methods adopted, been recognised under the Regulations for Manual and Technical Instruction as handwork classes, the relative positions of science and handwork being thus afiected rather in name than in fact. At the same time, from a comparison of the returns in the light of the practical alternation permitted in the schools between science and handwork as additional subjects of the course, some real sacrifice of the one to the benefit of the other must be taken to be denoted by the figures submitted. Public Schools. The number of schools open at the end of 1905, counting 90 half-time schools as 45, was 1806, or 21 more than at the end of 1904. In Table El the schools are classified, as for 1904, according to the yearly average attendance. The classification is in accordance with the grades in Part I of Schedule I to " The Public-school Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901," as re-enacted by " The Education Act, 1904."

In the next table the average attendance in each education shown in detail by a statement of the aggregate attendance at each group of the classification in Table El. The substituted average authorised by clause 2 (b) of the regulations relating to staffs and salaries has been taken in all cases where the Boards decided to avail themselves of it. The number of small schools with an average attendance not exceeding twenty shows a further increase of 7 for 1905 ; the number, which was 555 for 1904, was 562 for 1905. The number of pupils attending these schools has increased by 249— namely, from 6,813 to 7,062.

TABLE E2.—Average Attendance for the Year 1905 at the Schools as grouped in Table E1.

During the year 1905, 70 schools were closed—viz., in Auckland, 16 ; Taranaki, 3 ; Wanganui, 9 ; Wellington, 3 ; Hawke's Bay, 6 ; Marlborough, 6 ; Nelson, 11 ; Grey, 1 ; Westland, 2 ; North Canterbury, 3 ; Otago, 7 ; Southland, 3. As was the case in previous years, several of these schools, although reckoned as closed in their original form, were reopened in another ; thus some were amalgamated whilst others which had been joined as half-time schools became full-time schools. Including such reopened schools, the total number opened during the year was 91, distributed as follows: Auckland, 31 ; Taranaki, 3 ; Wanganui, 15 ; Wellington, 5 ; Hawke's Bay, 8 ; Marlborough, 7 ; Nelson, 5 ; Westland, 2 ; North Canterbury, 4 ; Otago, 5 ; Southland, 6. The net increase in the number of schools opened at the end of the year is thus 21, as shown in Table El. Public-school Teachers. In December, 1905, there were employed on the primary staffs in the public schools of the colony 3,816 teachers, of whom 3,137 were adults and 679 pupilteachers : the corresponding numbers for December, 1904, were 3,069 adults and 649 pupil-teachers. Of the adult teachers at the end of 1905, 1,302 were men and 1,835 women; of the pupil-teachers 151 were male and 528 female. The number of adult male teachers was 30 more, and of adult female teachers 38 more than in December, 1904 ; and the number of male and female pupil-teachers increased by 7 and 23 respectively. The average number of children to one teacher for 1905 was 315.

TABLE F1. —School Staff, December, 1905.

In addition to the teachers shown in this table, several Boards employed re-lieving-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.

TABLE F2.—Comparison of Attendance and Number of Teachers in New Zealand, other British Colonies, and England.

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 spacial 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 profession 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 ratio of male to female teachers in New Zealand remained the same for 1905 as for 1904 —100 to 141. It is, however, noticeable that whereas in 1904 the number of female teachers increased by 71 and the number of male teachers by only 2 there was in 1905 an increase of 38 females and 30 males. This

cannot but be regarded as a healthy sign, undoubtedly brought about by the more liberal provision made of late for teachers' salaries. The proportion of male pupil-teachers to female pupil-teachers, which rose from the ratio of 1 to 4*22 in 1902 to 1 to 376 in 1903 and 1 to 3"51 in 1904, has become almost stationary, the figures for last year being 1 to 350. In other words, during the last three years the number of male pupil-teachers has remained fairly constant (143 in 1902 as compared with 151 in 1905), while that of female pupil-teachers has decreased from 604 in 1902 to 528 in 1905. The average number of pupils to each adult teacher, reckoning two pupil-teachers as one adult, was 346. The total of all salaries and allowances at the rates paid at the end of the year was £431,089 13s. 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 £113 17s. 6d. 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 of an adult male teacher was in December, 1905, £174 14s. 9d., as compared with £170 4s. 2d. in 1904 ; average salary per woman teacher, £96 6s. lid., as against £93 Bs. Bd. ; average salary for all adults £128 17s. 5d., as against £125 ss. 10d. per teacher. Table F3 gives the numbers of certificated teachers in public schools, exclusive of those engaged in secondary schools or as special assistants in district high schools. It is noticeable that there is a very large increase in the numbers of holders of licenses to teach, and a corresponding decrease in the numbers of other teachers who have partly qualified for certificates. The reasons for this difference are that by a provision of the Education Act a license to teach, during its currency, entitles the holder to all the privileges of a full certificate, and that, partly on this account, partly in order to enjoy the benefits of the provisions of the Superannuation Act, many uncertificated teachers have recently applied for, and been granted, licenses to teach. It is a matter for regret that whereas the number of fully qualified teachers has for the last few years remained practically constant that of unqualified or partly qualified teachers has greatly increased. The latter, it may be said, are to a great extent employed in small schools with ten pupils or less in average attendance. 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 now that all four training colleges are at work there will shortly be a very considerable increase in the number of fully qualified teachers.

Teachers' Superannuation. The Teachers' Superannuation Act, passed by Parliament in the session of 1905, came into force on the Ist January, 1906. There are at present 2,857 contributors, as follows:— Under 30 years of age and paying 5 per cent of salary ... 1,057 contributors. „ 35 " „ 6 „ ... 460 „ 40 „ 7 „ ... 430 „ 45 „ 8 „ ... 318 „ 50 „ 9 „ , ... 241 50 years and upwards 10 „ ... 351 „. 2,857 Since the Ist January last fifty retiring allowances have been granted, particulars of which are as follows:— £ s. d. 40 at £52 per annum ... ... 2,080 0 0 1 at £56 2s. 4d. per annum ... ... 56 2 4 1 at £53 19s. 9d. per annum ... 58 19 9 1 at £60 per annum ... ... 60 0 0 1 at £77 15s. 4d. per annum ... 77 15 4 1 at £84 15s. Id. per annum ... 84 15 1 1 at £89 os. lid. per annum ... 89 0 11 £2,506 13 5 In addition to these, three contributors are receiving £4 6s. Bd. a month pending the interpretation of section 13 of the Act, while one has received a sum of £71 ss. 6d. in full settlement of claim. The balance to the credit of the fund on the 30th June, 1906, was £13,073 9s. lid. School Buildings. The ordinary vote for school buildings, which for the year 1905-6 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 £1,486,606 (£1,347,958 for wooden buildings and £138,648 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 might be ; except that no allowance was made 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 is in favour of the Boards, for in the computation adopted by the time a school is thirty-six and a half years old, a Board will have received an amount for rebuilding it equal to the whole cost of its replacement. The actual distribution of the ordinary vote for school buildings was as follows:: For maintenance and replacement—Auckland, £11,446; Taranaki, £1,908; Wanganui, £4,152 ; Wellington, £4,482 ; Hawke's Bay, £3,140 ; Marlborough, £858 ; Nelson, £2,910 ; Grey, £853 ; Westland, £997 ; North Canterbury, £7,876 ; South Canterbury, £2,448; Otago, £8,729 ; Southland, £4,252: total, £54,051. The amounts paid to Education Boards for rents were as follows : Auckland, £220 15s. ; Taranaki, £53 125.; Wanganui, £28; Wellington, £363 10s.; Hawke's Bay, 42; Marlborough, £26; Nelson, £13 10s.; Grey, £34 3s. 6d. ; North Canterbury, £16,45. ;Ot go, £12 6s. : total, £810 os. 6d,

For the purpose of replacing schools or school property damaged or destroyed by fire, £313 9s. 6d. was paid to Auckland, £973 2s. lid. to Taranaki, £300 to Wanganui, £2,365 6s. 3d. to Wellington, £240 to Marlborough, £387 3s. 3d. to Nelson, £30 10s. to Otago, £194 Bs. to Southland : total, £4,803 19s. lid. 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, £3,524 15s. 6d. ; Taranaki, £1,253 ; Wanganui, £788 17s. 3d; Wellington, £1,390 ; Hawke's Bay, £375 ; Nelson, £1,412 ; Grey, £100 ; Westland, £60 ; North Canterbury, £788 ; South Canterbury, £844 19s.

Table G is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of Education Boards for the year 1905. 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 are also printed in the Appendix with full detail. Comparing the figures in Table G with those for the previous year we find that the expenditure on teachers' salaries was £426,343 19s. 6d., as against £406,303 Bs. 2d. for 1904. This increase of over £20,000 was caused by the operation of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1904," which provided considerable increases for teachers of small schools. The Act of the 1905 session will, it is anticipated, cause an increase inHhis item of over £30,000, in addition to that created by the usual increase in the number of schools and in the average attendance. It is confidently anticipated that these very considerable increases in the salaries of school-teachers, especially those of the smaller schools, will remove the difficulty lately experienced in securing the services of competent teachers. There has also been a considerable increase in expenditure for manual and technical instruction and for school buildings, house allowance, &c.

Training of Teachers. Last year Parliament appropriated two sums of £5,000 each for alterations and. additions to the Wellesley Street School, Auckland, and the Thorndon School, Wellington, to adapt them for the purposes of training colleges for teachers in these centres. The training colleges at Auckland and Wellington thus provided were opened at the beginning of 1906, and now with the two training colleges already for many years in operation at Christchurch and Dunedin, but recently reorganized under more liberal conditions, complete the provision of a training college for each of the four University districts. The demand for teachers in New Zealand is still so great that many ex-pupil-teachers without adequate additional training are being employed as teachers, and the needs of many of the smaller schools are still served by persons who, whatever their attainments may be, would manifestly benefit materially by even a short period of training under proper direction. The allowances to students are, however, so liberal, and the advantages of careful practical training so obvious, that the attendance at the training colleges is fast increasing, and it is expected that before long the numbers seeking admission will tax the present accommodation to its fullest extent.

The number of students during the current year attending the various training colleges is as follows : Auckland, 19 women and 9 men—2B ; Wellington, 42 women and 11 men —53 ; Christchurch, 48 women and 17 men—6s ; Dunedin, 65 women and 10 men —75. The total for the whole colony is 221, 174 women and 47 men, as compared with 105 for 1905. Connected with each training college is a " normal " or practising school, which includes, besides the ordinary classes of a public elementary school, a model " country" school of forty children and a secondary department. The former justifies its existence by familiarising prospective teachers M*ith the conditions of one of the most difficult tasks a teacher has to undertake—namely, the proper management and education, single-handed, of a self-contained school group of children of various ages from five to fifteen and at various stages of 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. Under the regulations gazetted, students of a training college take English and other non-special subjects at the University colleges, and attend lectures in the methods of teaching and in the principles and history of education under the Principal, who is also in each case by special appointment the University college lecturer on education. Every student is 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 also receives due attention ; and concurrently with all this there is 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. Pupil-teachers in any education district who have satisfactorily completed their term of service and have passed the Matriculation Examination may enter at the training college most convenient for them, the course being two years. Such students receive in addition to the amount of University-college fees the sum of £30 a year each if the recipient lives at home, and £60 a year if 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 served as 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, but in such cases no allowances are payable. The total cost of maintenance of the four colleges in full working-order will be for 1906 about £23,000—£11,100 for allowances and fees of students, and £11,900 for salaries and house allowances of staff. It must be remembered that this provides not only for the efficient training of over two hundred teachers, but for the instruction of over sixteen hundred children in attendance at the practising schools. The amount provided during 1905 for the training of teachers was £16,342, made up as follows : Salaries of staffs of training colleges (two), £3,395 ; students' allowances and University fees, £4,323 ; grants for special instruction in handwork, £1,900 ; grants for general purposes of training colleges, £2,100 ; railway fares of teachers in training and instructors of training classes established by Boards, £4,624. MILITAKY 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 127,386. The term " drill " here must be taken to include physical and disciplinary exercises. The report of the Officer Commanding the Public-school Cadets forms an Appendix (E.-1d) to this report. There were on the 31st March, 1906, 264 cadet corps, with a strength of 14,115 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, 53 ; Taranaki, 10 ; Wanganui, 26 ; Wellington, 31 ; Hawke'sc Bay, 32;! Marlborough, 5; Nelson, 13; Grey, 7; Westland, 3; North Canterbury, 17 ; South Canterbury, 9 ; Otago, 38 ; Southland, 8 ; sections attached to corps, 12 : total, 264. The number of battalions formed was 28. The number of models on issue to'the Boards at the end of the year was 12,450, and of miniature rifles, 950. 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 each competing squad should consist of ten cadets, all belonging to the same company or detachment; each company to have seven shots at 100 yards (standing), 150 yards (kneeling), and 200 yards (lying), the local range being used in each case. The North Island shield was won by the Onehunga Cadet Company with the very high score of 735 out of a possible 840 ; the South Island shield was won by the Waimate Company with a score of 642. Valuable presentations for competition in rifle shooting by the cadets have been made by the Colonial Ammunition Company and the directors of the Weekly Press. The expenditure for the year 1905 was £5,704 9s. 7d., made up as follows :— £ b. d. £ s. d.

In 1905 £5,801 12s. Bd., made up as follows, was paid for conveyance of schoolchildren—viz., railway fares of pupils attending public schools, £1,764 ; of pupils attending private schools, £821 r 10s. ; of pupils attending district high schools, £1,066 45.; of pupils attending' secondary schools, £1,301 10s.; and of holders of technical scholarships, £489 ; grants for conveyance of children by road and water—• to Auckland Education Board, £26 ; Wellington Board, £5 ; North Canterbury Board, £8 13s. 4d.; South Canterbury Board, £113 Bs. 4d. ; Otago Board, £180 75.; and Southland Board, £26. Chatham Islands. During the year 1905 four schools were in operation in the Chatham Islands. These schools comprise (1) Te One, the main school in the centre of Chatham Island ; (2) Moreroa, a part-time school five miles north of Te One ; (3) Matarakau and (4) Kaingaroa, two small part-time schools situated on the northern shore of the island. Matarakau and Kaingaroa are worked in conjunction with Moreroa. An itinerant teacher manages these three part-time schools. The main school at Te One is staffed by a certificated teacher and two pupil-teachers. The total number on the rolls of all the schools at the end of 1905 was 91, a decrease of 2 compared with 1904, while the average attendance was 72, the same as the previous year.

The total expenditure on these schools was £511 75., made up as follows : Salaries and allowances of teachers, £359 15s. 10d. ; school furniture, requisites, &c, £29 os. 4d. ; inspection, £17 13s. 6d. ; scholarships, £104 17s. 4d. The schools were inspected and examined in January of this year (1906), according to the regulations for the examination of public schools in New Zealand. The work done in the part-time schools was very satisfactory considering the conditions under which they are worked ; while the report on the general efficiency of the main school was good. The pupil-teachers were examined under the new regulations for pupil-teachers in New Zealand schools, with the result that there was one failure. A new pupilteacher has been appointed to the vacancy thus caused. Pitt Island school, which remained closed for some time owing to the difficulty of obtaining a teacher, has been reopened, a suitable teacher having been found for the place. Two scholarships awarded to children attending Chatham Island schools are now current; the next examination will be held next year. A Native-school scholarship is also being held by a Maori boy from Chatham Island who is attending Te Aute College. Education Keserves.

The payments made to Education Boards for primary education out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1905 amounted to £49,348 9s. 6d., as compared with £44,114 10s. 7d. for the previous year. The revenues of the Boards are not, however, increased thereby, as equal amounts are deducted from the grants payable by Government to the several Boards. The payments for primary education were distributed among the several Education Boards as follows : Auckland, £3,375 ; Taranaki, £1,898 18s. ; Wanganui, £2,866 2s. 6d. ; Wellington, £3,634 19s. 6d. ; Hawke's Bay, £4,975 ; Marlborough, £300 ; Nelson, £635 4s. ; Grey, £88 ; North Canterbury, £14,383 18s. 7d. ; South Canterbury, £3,392 9s. sd. ; Otago, £9,703 12s. Id. ; Southland, £3,983 2s. 7d. The payments for secondary education from reserves under the control -of the School Commissioners amounted to £3,897 16s. 2d. This money is distributed by the Commissioners among the governing bodies of secondary schools in the provincial district in proportion to the number of pupils in average attendance at these secondary schools, exclusive of those in any preparatory department.

Table I2.—Income and Cost of Administration of School Commissioners.

Table 12 shows the total income from education reserves for the ten years, 1896-1905, and the cost of administration by the School Commissioners for the same period. In comparing these figures with those for 1894-1903, published in last year's report, it will be seen that the total incomes amounted in the last ten years to £543,518, as against £523,581 for 1894-1903, an increase of almost £20,000. The percentage of cost of administration has also shown an increase from 6 - 76 to 6*98, noticeable chiefly in Wellington, Marlborough, and Otago. In Canterbury the cost of administration has sunk from 3*70 to the extremely small figure 3 - 56 per cent, of the annual income. Industrial Schools. In December, 1905, the number on the books of all the industrial schools was 1,953, or 35 more than at the close of the year 1904. On the books of the Government industrial schools there were 1,420, an increase of 33 over the corresponding number for 1904, on the books of the private (Roman Catholic) industrial schools there were 533, or 2 more than at the end of the previous year. The number in residence at Government schools was 317, and at private industrial schools 331, so that 648 was the

total number of " inmates " actually in residence. The number boarded out on payment was 573, 5 being from private schools and the rest from Government schools. There were 9 girls maintained in various corrective institutions, 1 boy and 1 girl in convalescent homes, 3 boys School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner, and 11 boys at the Costley Training Institution, Auckland. The total number of inmates dependent on public funds for maintenance was therefore 1,246, or 74 more than the number at the end of 1904. The remaining 707, 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, 189 ; at service, 437 ; boarded out without payment, 6 ; in hospital, 5 ; in mental hospitals, 4 ; under the control of the Costley Training Institution, Auckland, 5 ; in other institutions, 10 ; in gaol, 3 ; absent without leave, 48—namely, 23 from, service, 23 from the schools, and 2 from friends. There were seven Government industrial schools in existence in 1905, and the numbers of inmates on their books at the end of the year were as follows : Auckland (Mount Albert), 134 ; Boys' Training Farm, Weraroa (new school), 111 ; Eeceiving Home, Wellington, 235 ; Eeceiving Home, Christchurch, 245 ; Burnham, 232 ; Te Oranga Home, 59; Caversham, 404: total, 1,420. Those belonging to private industrial schools were distributed as follows: St. Mary's, Auckland, 141 ; St. Joseph's, Wellington, 58 ; St. Mary's, Nelson, 282 ; St. Vincent de Paul's, Dunedin, 52: total, 533.

TABLE J1.—Inmates, 1904 and 1905.

The number of inmates who during 1905 ceased to be under the control of industrial schools was 244. Of these 174 were discharged by warrant, 58 reached twenty-one years of age, 2 were married, and 10 died. Of this total 173 were of good character, 11 fair, and 7 bad ; 5 were weak-minded, 20 were missing, 18 were discharged under fifteen years of age (4 of whom were adopted), and 9 under and 1 over that age died. The number of deaths (10) shows an increase of 2 on the, number for the previous year. The medical certificates show that of the six inmates who were boarded out at the time of death, 1 died of syphilis, 1 of bronchitis, 1 of congenital debility, 1 of hereditary syphilis, 1 of stomatitis and enteritis, and 1 of convulsions. One resident inmate died, the cause of death being marasmus. Two inmates died in the hospital, one of pneumonia and the other of asthenia, pneumonia, and intestinal influenza. One young man who was absent without leave was accidentally killed. The number of admissions during the year (279) shows an increase of 88 on the number for 1904. Of these 41 were sent from Auckland, 58 from Wellington, 54 from Christchurch, and 42 from Dunedin. Of the remaining 84 children, no one town sent more than 7to the schools. Of the children admitted (279) 30*12 per cent, were of illegitimate parentage.

From information taken from the Magistrate's .orders it is found that the religious denominations in which the children who were admitted are to be brought up are Church of England, 129 ; Eoman Catholic, 86 ; Presbyterian, 28 ; Methodist, 26 ; Church of Christ, 4 ; Baptist, 3 ; Congregational, 1 ; Jewish, 1 ; and 1 to be brought up as a Protestant.

TABLE J2. —Admissions, classified according to Parents' Circumstances and Character, 1905.

During the year the urgent need for removing the resident boys of the Caversham Industrial School from the very old and even insanitary buildings that they were occupying near Dunedin caused the Government to decide to enter into occupation of the Boys' Training Farm, Weraroa, in the Wellington District, although it was recognised that for a time the accommodation would be very limited. The boys arrived from Caversham at their new home on the 2nd November, and already there is evidence that they will quickly settle down to the new conditions, which undoubtedly will be in almost every way a distinct advance upon those prevailing at Caversham. The scheme for the buildings provides for a large central administrative block, with dormitories for about sixty boys attached, four or five cottages, each capable of accommodating twelve or fourteen boys, the manager's residence, office, laundry, workshops, engine-house, dairy, stables, and other farm buildings. In planning the buildings and works the predominant idea has been that the principal functions of such an industrial school are to give the boys a good moral training, together with a sound public-school education ; to teach various branches of farm-work and agriculture, dairying, fruit-growing, and gardening; to give them a good general knowledge of such trades as carpentry and blacksmithing;" and to provide other suitable occupations for those incapable of heavy work; in short, to prepare the boys for the stations in life and the occupations that they are individually best fitted for. The return for the expenditure is seen when many colonists, who would otherwise have been

found in the ranks of the unfit, show themselves to be sturdy farmers and artisans who have learned their business under good conditions. This institution is open for the reception of boys who do not need reformatory treatment, but are not suitable for boarding out, by reason either of their age or temperament. The removal of the Caversham boys to Weraroa effects another important achievement in the development of the industrial-school system of the colony : there is now no industrial school at which girls reside where boys over ten years of age are resident inmates. The purpose of the Caversham Industrial School is now similar to that of the Auckland Industrial School—it is for girls of any age, so long as they do not need reformatory treatment; and for boys not too old or too wild to be boarded out, or who can be placed at once at service. Among the problems to be dealt with in the work of making our industrialschool system an increasingly powerful means of advancing the general wellbeing of the community, the most important, and certainly the most difficult, is that of dealing with that section of the reformatory inmates — hoth young men and young women —whose dangerously sensual and criminal tendencies hamper the general work of reforming the other inmates. Happily, neither in Burnham nor in Te Oranga Home are the numbers of such cases large, although it is idle to deny that there are a few in each institution who should be entirely separated from the others —that is to say, that another grade in the classification scheme should be instituted. To do this other buildings must be erected, either as separate institutions or as annexes to the existing schools, but they must be thoroughly isolated. There are in the gaols of the colony, no doubt, a proportion of the younger prisoners who have similar characteristics. Probably the cases of this class from the reformatories and those from the gaols should be brought together in institutions specially equipped to deal with them. There are some of these young people who, either from mental deficiency or moral obliquity, seem impervious to all efforts made in their behalf; and as the industrial-schools law is at present there is no power to detain inmates after they reach twenty-one years of age. The matter is of grave concern, and the question of providing for these unfortunates is one that intimately affects the public weal. At the end of 1905 there was in the Post-Office Savings-Bank on account of the earnings of inmates of Government industrial schools a sum of £15,457 11s. 4d., and on account of inmates of private industrial schools £3,673 ss. Id. For inmates of Government schools a sum of £1,819 11s. 9d. was withdrawn during the year, and for inmates of private schools £143 12s. In Table J3 is shown the cost of the Government schools, in which is included the expenditure for the maintenance of inmates boarded out and the salaries of the resident staffs and medical officers ; this table 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. The total amount contributed by parents towards the maintenance of their children was £2,935 16s. 2d., being at the rate of £2 7s. Ijd. per head of the total number of children (1,246) maintained at the public cost.

School for Deaf-mutes. The new building has been completed by the Public Works Department, and was occupied by the staff and pupils of the school on their return after the midsummer vacation. The sum expended during the year upon the building was £1,325 16s. 3d. In 1904 the amount was £3,157 6s. 2d. Five boys and 3 girls left the school since the 1904 Christmas holidays, 1 girl died in December, 1905, whilst undergoing an operation, and 3 boys and 4 girls were admitted. At the end of the year the number in residence was 34 boys and 29 girls, 2 boys less than last year. The ordinary expenditure on the institution for the year 1905 was : Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,912 9s. 9d. ; steward, matron, and servants, £739 9s. 6d. ; rent, £140 ; housekeeping, £879 15s. 9d. ; travelling-expenses (including transit of pupils), £168 3s. 7d. ; school material and material for technical instruction, £13 13s. 6d. ; general maintenance of buildings and furniture, £105 10s. 3d. ; clothing £37 2s.

tained 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. None of these three pupils returned for instruction after the Christmas holidays. Mr. Gerit van Asch, who has occupied the position of Director of the institution since its establishment in 1880, retired on the 31st March last, and received the thanks of the Government for his faithful and valuable service. 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 1905 was £566 ss. 4d. The Department" also paid £21 for the separate tuition of a pupil in Christchurch, and £6 Is. 4d. for travel-ling-expenses of an indigent pupil to the Institute ; £101 2s. Id. was recovered from parents and others. The number r of Government pupils at the end of 1904 was 24 ; sof these left during the year 1905, and 5 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. In 1905 three schools were opened, two were transferred to Education Boards, four were closed, and two were given up by the Department. There were thus ninetyfive schools .in working-order at the end of 1905. The number of children on the rolls of these schools at the 31st December, 1905, was 3,863, as against 3,754 at the end of the preceding year. The number of children is thus increased by 109, while there are five schools fewer in operation. The average attendance for the whole year 1905 was 3,428, an increase of 344 on that of the preceding year. The regularity of the attendance has increased from 81 to 84 per cent., which is very little behind the average attendance at the public schools of the colony. This is all the more satisfactory when it is considered that none of the Maori schools are town schools. In addition to the village schools, there are now six mission schools that are usually inspected and examined by the Department, two schools of this kind having been established during the year. There are also six boarding-schools established by the authorities of various Churches in New Zealand ; these form the only means available of affording higher education specially for Maori boys and girls. The total number of Native schools open at the end of 1905 was thus 107. European children attending Maori schools are provided for in the matter of higher education by the provisions of the regulations concerning free places in secondary schools, and admission has already been granted to candidates who have gained in Native schools the necessary qualifications. Three new schools—Oruanui and Waitahanui, in Taupo district, and Mangaorongo, in the King-country—were opened during the year, the first two with considerable success. There is still some difficulty in procuring candidates who possess the qualifications desirable in the case of Native-school teachers, and, for this reason, the school built at Waimarama, Hawke's Bay, could not be opened until some time had elapsed after its completion. The schools at Papawai and Te Kuiti were, at the request of the people interested, handed over, the former to the Wellington and the latter to the Auckland Board of Education. The school at Te Houhi had to be abandoned owing to the departure of the Maoris consequent upon the resumption of their lands by the legal owner, while Awangararanui, Raorao, and Pariroa Schools were closed owing to the attendance falling below the number required.

The Department has found it necessary to increase the accommodation at several schools, and has before it applications of a promising nature for the establishment of several new schools. Information upon these, as far as it has been ascertained, is given in the Inspector's report. During the year a gratifying advance has been made in the matter of handwork in Native schools. Five new workshops have been established, all of them with the assistance of the Maoris, and at small expense to the Department. A beginning has also been made in the matter of giving instruction in cooking, the utensils being such as are in general use in Maori kaingas. Instruction in practical needlework has also, during the year, been considerably developed, especially in the largest schools. For the higher education of Maori youths there are six Native boarding-schools available—viz., St. Stephen's and Te Aute for boys, and Hukarere, St. Joseph's, Victoria, and Turakina Schools for girls. The Government offers 123 scholarships, tenable at one or other of these schools, for two years, to children of predominantly Maori race who pass the Fourth or a higher standard at the Maori village schools ; most of the holders have passed the Fifth, Sixth, or Seventh Standard. At the end of the year thirty-eight of the scholarships were held by boys and forty-four by girls. To Maori children attending public schools who pass the Fifth Standard before reaching the age of fifteen scholarships of the value of £20 a year are granted, to enable them to attend a secondary school or to become apprenticed to a suitable trade. Under these conditions there are seven scholars attending secondary schools and seven boys serving apprenticeships. Further advance has also been made in regard to what are known as "nursing scholarships." There are now (1906) three probationers—one each at the Napier, Wellington, and Auckland Hospitals —while arrangements have been made for admission of three scholars as day-pupils. Six scholarships are offered by the Government to Maori youths to whom it is considered advisable to give university training. Three of these are reserved for those who wish to study medicine, and the remaining ones are open. At present there are three scholarships being held, one student taking the medical course, one arts, and one law. With reference to the conditions under which all the scholarships are granted, it seems evident that higher qualifications may now be safely demanded from those who wish to obtain secondary or higher education. There is already manifest a keen desire on the part of the Maori parents for instruction in manual and technical work of such a character as is likely to be most useful to the young Maori. The ready assistance they have given in various localities during the year in the establishing of workshops is evidence of this desire. The Department is also beginning to find that where boys and girls can obtain practical training of some kind at home, their parents do not wish them to attend a secondary school. It may be seen from these facts that the system of handwork and manual instruction in Native schools is now beginning to bear fruit, and an extension of the scheme is to be looked for as a natural result. For boys, instruction in elementary agriculture is probably the direction in which extension of technical work is desirable, while for girls, needlework, cookery, and domestic economy may be further developed. The total expenditure on Native schools during the year was £24,077, which includes £95 paid from Native school reserves funds and £2,000 from Civil List for Native purposes. Deducting £36, recoveries from various sources, the result is a net cost of £24,041 for the year 1905, as against £24,881 for the previous year. Included in this sum is expenditure on new buildings and additions, £2,560 ; on secondary education (including boarding-school fees for holders of scholarships from village schools, apprenticeships, hospital-nursing scholarships, University scholarships, and travelling-expenses of scholarship-holders), £2,116. The staff of the village schools included seventy-three masters, twenty-one mistresses in charge, eighty-seven assistants, and fifteen sewing-teachers. The masters received salaries ranging from £90 16s. Bd. to £269 ss. 10d. ; the head mistresses from £60 to £176 13s. 9d. ; the assistants from £9 Bs. 4d. to £50 ; and the sewingteachers from £6 16s. 3d. to £18 15s. In one school the master and mistress work

conjointly, the total salary being £320 10s. at the end of the year. The assistants and sewing-teachers in the greater number of the schools are generally members of the teacher's family who give assistance in some part of the day's work. The assistance thus given is, however, becoming more valuable every year; indeed, the Department regards the work done by the assistants in the preparatory classes as of prime importance. A new scale of salaries has been approved, approximating to that set forth in the Schedule to " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905." The effect will be to produce a more even distribution of the amount paid as salaries to teachers, and to raise the salaries of assistants generally. As regards the race of the 3,863 children attending Native schools during 1905, 80*8 per cent, were Maori or nearly Maori, B'6 per cent, were half-castes living as Maoris, 2*2 per cent, were half-castes, or nearly so, living as Europeans, and B*4 per cent, were Europeans. Of the 3,786 children of Maori or mixed race attending public schools, 59"6 per cent, were Maori, 5 - 9 per cent, were of mixed race living as Maoris, and 34*4 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, 1,223, an increase of 18 on the previous year ; Standard I, 728, an increase of 97 ; Standard 11, 629 ; Standard 111, 594 ; Standard IV, 439 ; Standard V, 159 ; Standard VI, 80 ; and Standard VII, 28. • Manual and Technical Instruction. Satisfactory progress continues to be made by controlling authorities in the various education districts in respect of matters connected with manual and technical instruction. In several centres in which more or less adequate provision for instruction was already made, the work of elaborating and extending facilities for efficient instruction adapted to the varying needs of the community has proceeded vigorously throughout the year with the assistance of Government grants. The efforts thus made have resulted in a marked improvement, not only in the range and character of the instruction, but also in the efficiency of the accommodation and equipment for classes. It is true that much remains to be done, yet it may be said that the larger technical and art schools are, as far as available funds and other circumstances will allow, slowly but surely becoming institutions worthy of the important work for which they are designed. During the year provision has also been made by the Government for the erection and equipment of buildings in several centres which hitherto have been without any adequate facilities for manual and technical instruction, and in which a well-grounded demand for such instruction has been manifested. On the whole it may be said that good use has been made of the facilities provided; especially has this been so in the case of the central schools for the instruction of school-children in cookery and woodwork,which are now in operation in several education districts. A feature of the year's work has been the successful establishment in certain centres of day technical classes. The formation of these classes is the direct outcome of the provision made by the Government for free technical education. There is little doubt that these classes will have a distinctly beneficial effect on the work of the evening classes, if only for the reason that graded courses of work rather than isolated classes are an important feature of them. The sooner those in charge of technical classes are able to see their way to break away altogether from the idea of the class for this or that subject, and to substitute therefor the idea of graded courses adapted to this or that industry or pursuit, the sooner will the technical schools be in a position to fulfil their proper functions to a greater extent than is now possible. It is gratifying to note that in spite of the many real difficulties in the way the efforts now being made in this direction have not been altogether without avail. In the larger centres, especially, not a little has been accomplished in the way of providing more or less complete courses in mechanical and electrical engineering, and in plumbing and other subjects connected with the building trade.

There are signs, too, that employers are beginning to realise here, as they are realising in the Old Country, that it is to their advantage to encourage their employees to avail themselves of the opportunities now being provided for systematic instruction in the principles that underlie the various trades and industries, and that those who have received such instruction compare not unfavourably with those who have not. To the realisation of these important facts is probably due the increased interest that many local bodies and associations are now taking in the institutions devoted to technical instruction. Further evidence of this interest is to be found in the steadily increasing amounts paid by the Government by way of subsidies on voluntary contributions to technical classes. The number of technical, continuation, and school classes recognised during the year under the regulations for manual and technical instruction was 3,945, as against 2,599 for the previous year. Of the classes for 1905, 3041 were classes for instruction in various forms of handwork in connection with over 850 primary and secondary schools, while 904 were special, associated, or college classes for instruction in various subjects of science, art, and technology. Technical classes were held at about 55 different places. As regards school classes, the subjects of cookery for girls and woodwork for boys are receiving considerable attention. During the year 192 cookery classes and 177 woodwork classes were in operation, while at the technological examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute 31 public-school teachers passed the examination in cookery and 50 that in woodwork. There is still only one education district in which school classes for dairying have been carried on. It is to be hoped that the movement now in progress in various parts of the colony in the direction of providing facilities for instruction in subjects pertaining to agricultural and pastoral pursuits will accelerate the establishment in other districts of classes for instruction in a subject that has such an important bearing on the welfare of the community at large. In this connection it is pleasing to be able to record a considerable increase in the number of classes in connection with public schools for practical instruction in elementary agriculture. During the year 102 classes in 10 education districts were recognised as against 47 in 6 districts in the previous year. Several Education Boards have also taken steps to appoint special instructors in agriculture, whose, chief work at first, at all events, will be the training of teachers and the supervision of the practical instruction in the r chools. Education Boards have been enabled by means of Government grants to continue to arrange for special training classes for teachers in the various forms of handwork suitable for public schools. On the whole the arrangements made have been satisfactory, and the classes well and regularly attended. The curriculum of the training colleges in the four large centres also provides for training in handwork. Over 1,000 persons qualified for free instruction at technical schools under the regulations. This number, which is greater by 200 than that for 1904, will, it is anticipated, be nearly doubled in 1906. Under these regulations it is possible for pupils at the conclusion of their public-school course to receive free technical instruction for five years. They are enabled to proceed without a break from the primary school through a] fairly complete technical course with advantageVboth to themselves and to their instructors. The total expenditure by the Government on manual and technical instruction for 1905 was £34,775 10s. lid. The details are as follows : Capitation on all classes, £18,216 9s. 3d. ; grants for buildings and equipment, £9,115 ss. 10d. ; grants for material for class use, £514 19s. Id. ; subsidies on voluntary contributions, £1,443 Bs. 6d. ;]|technical training of teachers, £1,900 ; railway fares of instructors and studentsjJ£466 13s. lid; expenses in connection with the examinations of the Board of Education, South Kensington, and of the City and Guilds of London Institute, £461 6s. 7d. ; inspection, £984 6s. 9d.; scholarships and free places, £1,633 12s. Bd. ; sundries, £39 Bs. 4d. The sum of £125 14s. was recovered by way of examination fees and from sale of material used at examinations, leaving a net expenditure of £34,649 16s. lid.

Secondary Education. At the end of 1905, there were twenty-one endowed secondary schools giving free tuition ; and the number of free pupils attending these schools was 1,949, as against 1,595 for the previous year. There were in addition about 428 holders of scholarships and exhibitions given by these schools, by Boards of Education, or by the endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions. There were also 2,872 qualified pupils receiving instruction in the secondary classes of the district high schools. It will thus be seen that there has been a considerable increase in the total number of pupils receiving free secondary education —namely, 5,249 in 1905, as against 4,273 in the previous year. At the end of 1901, before the Secondary Schools Act and the regulations made thereunder came into force, the number of free pupils was only 963. Under the Regulations for Free Places at Secondary Schools and District High Schools, gazetted in October last, free places in such schools were divided into two series, Junior and Senior, the former being tenable for two years or till the age of seventeen, the latter till the age of nineteen. Boys and girls who qualify for scholarships, whether they obtain scholarships or not, are entitled to Junior Free Places, and all who pass the special examination for Free Places, whether they are under fourteen years of age or not, are also participants in the privilege. With respect to such candidates the age-limit is thus practically abolished. Junior Free Places may again be obtained, not only by all those who gain certificates of proficiency and satisfy the conditions of age, but also by those who gain certificates of proficiency and are over fourteen, provided that the number of the last-named admitted to any secondary school does not exceed 10 per cent, of the whole number of pupils. In like manner all who pass the Matriculation Examination of the University, or who gain credit at the Civil Service Junior Examination are admitted to Senior Free Places whether they are over sixteen or not, while the same privilege is granted to those who qualify for Senior Scholarships of the Education Boards, and to those who secure a bare pass in the Civil Service Junior Examination, if their age does not exceed sixteen. There is no age-limit for admission to a Junior Free Place in a District High School or a Technical School. There has been a very considerable increase in the attendance of pupils at district high schools. In 1905 there was an increase of 561 qualified pupils, or, to put it in other words, the attendance at the secondary departments of these schools increased by 25 per cent. The amount paid by the Government on this account during the year exceeded that for 1904 by £3,284 ss. 2d. Fifty-nine district high schools were in operation, as compared with 52 for the previous year.

The following table shows the number of Education Board scholarships held in December, 1905, with their tenure and annual value. The total expenditure of the Boards under this head amounted to £8,013 6s. 6d. The total paid to the Board for scholarship purposes by the Department was £7,897 13s. Bd.

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 1905 from school fees, not including fees for boarding, was about £23,291 ; from rents and interest, about £28,168 ; from endowments administered by the School Commissioners, about £3,952 ; and from payments made by Government, about £14,138. The principal item of expenditure was for salaries—£4s,Bls. As the Moseley 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. In Indiana and New York States the average salary of a high-school teacher is £145 ; in New Zealand, principals —men, £468; women, £354; assistants—men, £236; women, £138. In twentyeight large cities of the Union, where the schools are also very large, the salaries of principals range from £350 to £800.

The Junior Examination was also used as the qualifying examination for senior free places in secondary schools and district high schools, and by Education Boards as an examination for pupil-teachers and for Senior Scholarships. For the Senior Examination there were 171 candidates, and the names of 126 were published in the Gazette of the Ist March, 1906, one as having passed the examination with distinction, 39 as having passed the examination, and 87 as having passed in two or more subjects. Further particulars are given in the Report of the Annual Examinations (E.-1a). Junior National Scholarship Examination. The examination for Junior National Scholarships and for junior free places in secondary schools, district high schools, and technical schools was held on the 12th and 13th December, 1905. Of the 870 candidates 395 passed the examination, and their names were published in order of merit in the Gazette of the Ist February, 1906. In addition to these, as a result of the examination, 114 candidates were|regarded as having satisfied the examination requirements for junior free places, though they did not reach scholarship standard. Most of the Education Boards availed themselves of this examination for the purpose of awarding their Junior Scholarships, as did also Victoria College for awarding Queen's Scholarships. University and Colleges. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is a separate paper (E.-6). The number of graduates admitted or qualified for admission now amounts to 1,018 admitted and 135 qualified for admission—l,ls3 in all. Of the 1,018 admitted, 401 have the degree of B.A. alone, 33 B.Sc. alone, 52 LL.B. alone, 8 B.Sc. in Engineering alone, 21 M.B. alone, 66 M.B. and Ch.B. alone, 3 Mus.

The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1905 was 1,158, an increase of 187 over that for the previous year. Of these students, 445 were women. The number of matriculated students was 903, that of unmatriculated 255. The numbers attached to the several colleges were as follows : University of Otago, 167 men and 111 women matriculated, 25 men and 6 women unmatriculated; Canterbury College, 135 men and 65 women matriculated, 26 men and 51 women unmatriculated ; Auckland University College, 89 men and 52 women matriculated, 31 men and 57 women unmatriculated; Victoria College, 184 men and 95 women matriculated, 51 men and 8 women unmatriculated.

The income accrued under this Act, and applicable to purposes of higher education yet to be determined by Parliament, amounted, on the 31st March, 1906, to £3,134 16s. 4d., as follows : Canterbury reserves, £2,850 3s. 10d. ; Westland, £284 12s. 6d. The amount accrued from the Taranaki reserves, amounting to £5,169 11s. Id., was paid to the Public Trustee in December, 1905, in accordance with " The Taranaki Scholarships Act, 1905."

Public Libraries. 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 23rd November, 1905, 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—viz., 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 thef (jfazette notice, appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the 6th February, 1906, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 430 libraries from which applications, each accompanied by a statutory declaration on the proper form, had been received at that date. The vote, as thus dealt with, afforded a subsidy of 3s. 4-46 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £16 17s. 3d. to £4 lls. On account of irregularities in the returns sent in, the subsidy in two cases was withheld, and the net payment out of the vote was therefore £2,989 Is. 6d. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows an increase of seventeen 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 :—

REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

[Details are in some oases omitted.J AUCKLAND. Sir,— Auckland, March, 1906. The Auckland Education Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1905 :— Board. —The members in office at the beginning of the year were : Messrs. L. J. Bagnall, G. Edgecumbe, H. J. Greenslade, A. R. Harris, R. Hobbs, S. Luke (Chairman), J. D. McKenzie, C. J. Parr, and J. Stallworthy. The annual election of three members resulted in the re-election of Messrs. Harris, Luke, and Stallworthy. Mr. Luke was re-elected Chairman in August. Mr. Hobbs resigned his membership in September, and Mr. G. L. Peacocke was elected in November to fill the vacancy. Twentyfive meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. A committee consisting of all members meets on the day preceding each Board meeting to deal with finance and the selection of teachers. All nine members will retire from office in August, 1906, after the election of their successors, three for each ward. Schools. —There were 442 schools in operation at the end of the year, including 72 schools taught half-time. By reckoning every combination of two half-time schools as one school the number is reduced to 406. The number of schools has increased by fifty-two during the past five years, and a still greater increase may be looked for in the future, as the growth of settlement continues to extend. The task of providing the means of education in outlying districts beyond reach of any existing school has been rendered easier by the increase of the statutory capitation grant to £6 a year ; and it is now possible to meet requirements by the temporary establishment of " household " schools. In some cases the employment of an itinerant teacher might be tried as an experiment. Excepting two schools, tor which a grant is made by Government to convey scholars by boat, no advantage has yet been taken of the provision for conveyance of children to and from existing schools, the obstacle being the almost impassable state of the roads for vehicular traffic. Teachers. —The total number of teachers is 872 —males, 380; females, 492. There is still a large proportion of uncertificated teachers in the service. There is a dearth of teachers, especially for schools in country districts, notwithstanding the increased remuneration offered under the revised scale of salaries. For positions in or near town there is a fairly adequate supply. At the yearly examination of candidates held in June last 42 candidates passed the entrance examination. AH, or nearly all, of these found early employment. In the selection of pupil-teachers a preference is given to candidates who have passed the University Matriculation Examination. The Board is glad to learu that a scheme for the superannuation of teachers is now in operation. Attendances.—The roll-number of scholars at the end of 1905 was 32,497, an increase of 2,290 above the number in December, 1904. The number of Maori and half-caste, scholars was 2,084. The average attendance for the year was 27,507, equal to about 80 per cent, of the roll number. The daily absence of more than 1,600 children from school, in spite of the law relating to compulsory attendance, is to be regretted. It cannot be accounted for by illness or bad weather. It is feared that many parents fail to recognise their duty in the matter of promoting regular and punctual attendance at school, and that, in many instances, trivial and inadequate reasons are accepted as grounds for the granting of exemption certificates under the Act. Scholarships.—The scholarships under tenure at the end of the year were : Junior National, 11 ; Junior District, 61 ; Senior District, 24 ; special for girls, 6 : total, 102. The Board has resolved to retain the age-limit of fourteen years for the Junior District Scholarships. District High Schools.—Nine district high schools have been maintained during the year, having a total of 368 pupils receiving secondary education. Training College.—After an interval of eighteen years a training college has again been established in Auckland. There being no other building available, the Wellesley Street School has been taken and is being used for the purpose. The Board has every hope that the institution will prove a real and lasting benefit to the teachers of the district. Finance. —The Board began the year with a debit balance of £350 10s. 7d. The income and expenditure during the year are classified as follows : — Income. Expenditure. Balance. £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d. Administration Account .. .. 113,332 16 0 112,735 13 1 Or. 597 211 Secondary education .. .. 4,134 12 7 4,155 7 6 Dr. 20 14 11 Manual and technical .. .. 5,039 16 6 6,043 15 6 Dr. 1,003 19 0 Buildings Account .. .. 26,177 411 29,243 12 8 Dr. 3,066 7 9 Unclassified .. .. .. 877 19 6 67 7 7 Or. 810 11 11 Totai .. .. •• £149,562 9 6 £152,245 16 4 Dr. £2,683 610 The debit balance on Manual and Technica 1 Account is covered by claims for capitation earned during last year but not receivable until this year. The expenditure on buildings has nearly always exceeded the receipts. During last year the outlay on new buildings was nearly £4,500 in excess of the special grants received from Government, and the ordinary grant for the maintenance of buildings

E.-=Ot

has been, encroached upon, to that extent. In 1904 the cost of new buildings was nearly £4,500 in excess of the grants received during that year. It is evident that either the special grants must be increased or the cost of new buildings must be so reduced as to prevent any further encroachment upon the ordinary grant. The Board appealed to the Minister for an increase of the ordinary grant for the year from £12,000 to £20,000, so as to wipe out the deficiency, but the application was declined. Buildings.—The Board has to report that the requests for the establishment and erection of new schools and for the enlargement of existing schools have very largely increased during the year, and that, for the most part, they have been promptly and liberally dealt with by the Government. The best has been done, with the limited funds available, to keep the buildings in repair ; but many desirable works of improvement have had to be delayed until funds shall be provided by a larger grant for the purpose. The special needs -of this district are such as to call for special consideration. Manual and Technical Instruction.—There has been an enormous development and extension of classes during the year. Manual-training schools have been established at the Thames and at Whangarei, the residents having responded most liberally to the appeal for local voluntary contributions thereto. A grant of £4,000 has been obtained towards building a technical college for Auckland, and it is hoped that suitable accommodation may be provided at no distant date. The Board has engaged a special teacher of agriculture, whose duty it will be to instruct the teachers and to organize a plan of providing instruction throughout the district. Conference op Boards.—At the suggestion of the North Canterbury Board a conference of representatives of Education Boards was held at Wellington in September, and many points of interest were discussed. It is hoped that these conferences may be held periodically, as suggested by the Minister. School Committees.—The Board desires to acknowledge the cordial and efficient co-operation received from the School Committees of the district in the administration of educational matters during the past year. I have, &c, Samuel Luke, Chairman. The Eight Hon. the Minister of Education.

TARANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, 31st March, 1906. 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 1905. 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. At the meeting of the Board held on the 19th January, 1905, Mr. E. G. Allsworth forwarded his resignation, which was accepted, and Mr. James Wade appointed Chairman. Mr. G. H. Maunder was elected to fill the vacancy on the Board. Messrs. Adlam, Monkhouse, and Wade retired in the terms of section 31 of the Act, and were re-elected. On the 25th October Mr. Joseph Mackay forwarded his resignation, which was accepted, and Mr. H. Trimble was elected to fill the vacancy on the Board. The Board held fifteen ordinary meetings and one special meeting. Schools and Teachers. —New schools have been opened at Kohuratahi and Makahu. There were seventy-six schools open at the end of the year, including the six half-time schools, and the number of teachers employed was 138, who were graded as follows : Sole teachers, 27 female and 20 male ; head-teachers, 5 female and 21 male ; assistants, 37 female and 8 male ; pupil-teachers, 17 female and 3 male. Maintenance Grant. —The Board is well satisfied with the basis upon which the maintenance grant is at present allocated, and recognises that the Department has dealt reasonably and fairly with applications for new schools and additions to existing schools. Capitation Grant.—The Board finds that the 11s. 3d. is inadequate to meet its departmental expenses, and hopes that the Minister will favourably consider that the cost of administration is dependent upon the distribution of the pupils in the district, rather than upon the number; and the preponderance of small schools, combined with the absence of large centres of population, renders the cost of administration per pupil particularly heavy in this and similar districts. Finance.—The receipts of the Board from all sources, including a balance of £314 4s. 10d. brought forward from 1904, amounted to £25,897 10s. 7d., while the expenditure was as follows : Administration, £1,614 16s. 6d. ; teachers' salaries and allowances, £16,380 13s. 9d. ; incidental expenses of schools, £1,349 14s. ; secondary education, £786 9s. 7d. ; manual and technical, £926 10s. 7d. ; buildings, £4,010 2s. 7d. ; leaving a balance of £1,084 lls. Id., against which are liabilities fully covering it. Buildings.—New schools have been erected at Makahu and Matiere, and the West End, Fitzroy, Mahoe, Salisbury Road, and Waitara Schools have been enlarged, and the Stratford District High School, which was seriously damaged by fire, has been reinstated. New latrines have been built at the Central, Courtenay Street, and West End Schools, and septic tanks at Stratford and West End. Drill. —In all schools physical exercises are taken daily, with a more extended period for instruction once a week. Military drill is taken at a number of schools, and companies are formed at the Central School, New Plymouth, Stratford, Inglewood, West End, Waitara, and detachments at Ngaire, Urenui, Okato, and Opunake. Manual Instruction. —Elementary handwork was undertaken at thirty-one schools, and sewing under the manual regulations in thirteen schools. ■ In addition to the above, manual work as defined by clauses 22 to 27 of the Regulations for Manual and Technical Instruction was recognised in twentyseven cases, the subjects embracing woodwork, botany, dairying, physiography, advanced needlework, ambulance, elementary agriculture, swimming, and life-saving. Technical Instruction. —Classes continue to be held at Stratford and New Plymouth, and are doing good work. During the year the Board applied for a Manual Training centre and Technical School for New Plymouth. The plans were approved, and a grant of £3,500 for a brick building has been notified. Training classes for teachers were held at Stratford and New Plymouth, the principal subject of instruction being agriculture, theoretical and practical. Conclusion. —The relations of the Board with the Education Department, its official and teaching staff, and with the School Committees have been most cordial and pleasant throughout the year. '~ I have, &c, James Wade, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WANGANUI. Sir,— Wanganui, 31st March, 1906. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," the Education Board of the District of Wanganui has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year 1905. Board. —At the beginning of the year the ±>oard consisted of the following members : Messrs. G. S. Bridge, G. Carson, F. M. Spurdle, F. Pirani, E. Dixon, F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.E., A. H. Atkinson, H. E. P. Adams, and A. Fraser. The retiring members, Messrs. Pirani, Lethbridge, and Dixon, were re-elected at the annual election in July. Mr. G. S. Bridge was re-elected Chairman. Number of Schools. —At the end of 1904 there were 178 schools in operation in the district, 14 schools were opened and 9 closed, leaving 184 in operation on the 31st December, of which 21 were placed in Grade 0. Teachers. —The number of teachers increased by 12, there being at the end of the year 360 teachers, 138 male and 168 female adults, and 54 pupil-teachers —11 males and 43 females. During the year the Board experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining assistants for schools in the lower grades, and had, in some cases, to promote to assistantships pupil-teachers with less than two years' teaching experience. A similar difficulty arose in obtaining teachers for small schools in the outlying parts of the district, and in not a few cases the Board found it necessary, in order to obviate the closing of the schools, to appoint temporarily applicants without any experience. Salaries. —The Board is pleased to know that additions have been made to the salaries of the teachers of small schools, and that pupil-teachers are at last to receive nearly enough to enable them to keep themselves from the beginning of their service. It is, however, a matter for regret that a number of deserving teachers, such as the first assistants in the large schools, were not included in the increase, and that adequate provision was not made for the special assistants in district high schools at least on the scale hitherto paid by the Board. Pupil-teachers.—At the last examination conducted by the Board's Inspectors 54 candidates presented themselves for examination, and 45 obtained the percentage of marks necessary for a pass. Scholarships.—At the annual examination for the Board's scholarships 23 senior and 50 junior pupils were examined. Eleven senior and 12 junior scholarships were awarded, 4of the former going to former winners of Junior Scholarships. National Scholarships.—The three scholarships were awarded to gins—two from country schools and one from a town school. Owing to the legislation of last year two scholarship holders of Board and National Scholarships have had to forfeit one of the two scholarships. Eetrospective legislation of this kind hardly accords with the general idea of justice

E.—l

School Attendance.—At the end of 1904 the number of pupils in attendance was 12,201, and at the end of last year 12,486, showing an increase of onty 285, a much smaller increase than during the previous year. The average attendance showed an increase of 383 over the attendance for 1904. The average weekly roll number and the average attendance for the four quarters were : First quarter —Roll, 12,674, average attendance, 10,827 ; second quarter —Roll, 12,579, average attendance, 10,654 ; third quarter—Roll, 12,463, average attendance, 10,743 ; fourth quarter—Roll, 12,615, average attendance, 10,873. The average for the year was 10,774, and a percentage of 856 of the mean of the average weekly roll number for the four quarters—that is I' 2 higher than in 1904, and O'l in excess of the average of the colony for the same year. Owing to the large number of schools in the backblocks the administration of the school attendance clauses is a rather expensive item. Application was made to the Department for a railway pass for the Truant Inspector without success. District High Schools. —The attendance at these schools was much the same as during 1904, the numbers of pupils in the secondary departments being 137 boys, 107 girls. The amount paid during the year to head teachers and special assistants was £1,179 12s. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Mr. Ritchings Grant gave instruction in woodwork to the pupils in the upper classes at the three schools in Palmerston North, the Wanganui and Hawera District High Schools, and, by arrangement with the Board of Governors, at the Palmerston North High School. Cookery classes were conducted at the same centres by Miss Mollison, the classes in Wanganui being held in a room at the Technical School, for the erection of which a grant was received from the Government. The classes at Hawera were carried on as during the previous year at considerable disadvantage in the science room. Other classes were held during the year as follows : Kindergarten, &c, at 89 schools ; elementary agriculture at 14, chemistry at 2, ambulance work at 1, chip carving at 1, perspective at 2, swimming and life-saving at 3, advanced plain needlework at 1, and dressmaking at 2. Instruction in needlework was given during the year at 38 schools in charge of male teachers, the average attendance at which did not exceed 40. Owing, doubtless, to the low rate of capitation difficulty was found in some cases in obtaining suitable teachers. The Technical School at Wanganui was largely attended during the year owing to the provision in the regulations for free instruction to holders of Junior Technical Scholarships. So great was the attendance at the classes in some subjects that the Board was compelled to erect three class-rooms. Suitable provision was made for the plumbing classes by the erection of a workshop, for which a grant was received. Cookery classes were held in the room built for the school classes. As showing the benefit derived from the provision in the regulations for the technical scholarships, it may be stated that the additional capitation earned under these regulations by junior technical scholars exceeded £300. The classes at Palmerston North Technical School were fairly atterded, the largest being the Saturday classes for teachers. These classes had a larger attendance at Hawera than the ordinary art classes, which were but poorly attended. Training of Teachers.—The woodwork classes held in Wanganui were attended by very few teachers. From the beginning of July classes for the instruction of pupil-teachers in drawing, singing, mathematics, Latin, and science have been held on Saturdays at Palmerston North, Marton, Wanganui, and Hawera. Buildings.—The additions to Taihape, Kaitoke, and Lytton Street (Feilding) Schools, contracts for which were entered into in December, 1903, were completed during last year. The new schools at Makohau, near the site of the old Glen Nevis School, and Kaukatea were completed during the year, the latter being opened in April. A grant of £800 was made by the Government for the erection of a new school at Foxton, and the contract for this work was let in October. In February, 1905, two rooms of the Queen's Park School, Wanganui, were destroyed by fire, and in their place were erected three rooms fitted with up-to-date furniture. The cost of this work exceeded the amount granted for the reinstatement. The Pine Creek School, begun in 1904, was completed during the year. A contract was let for the rebuilding of two rooms of the Waverley School. The residence at Turakina was condemned, and a contract entered into for the erection of a new building. The Hurleyville residence was enlarged, and contracts entered into for the erection of residences at Utiku, Table Flat, Rata, and Mokoia, all of which, excepting Table Flat, were completed by the end of the year. Contracts were let or additions made to the residences at Bull's, Denlair, Mangatoki, and Hunterville, and minor additions to other residences. New schools were built at Wangaehu, Mangaeturoa, and Rangiawaea, a contract let for a school at Waipuru, and considerable additions made to the schools at College Street, and Terrace End (Palmerston North), Westmere, and minor additions to other schools. Painting schools and-residences and making repairs before painting necessitated an expenditure of more than £500. Inspection.—Towards the end of the year Mr. W. Gray, M.A., B.Sc, Chief Inspector, resigned his position, having been selected for the Principalship of the Wellington Training College. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. G. D. Braik, M.A., who had for many years held a similar position under the Southland Board, and who is carrying on the duties of Chief Inspector with energy ar>d ability. Agriculture and Nature Study.—Realising the necessity of placing the work in elementary agriculture and the instruction of teachers in this subject and nature study under an expert, the Board appointed Mr. James Grant, 8.A., supervisor of the school classes in elementary agriculture and instructor of teachers' classes, and he has already made great progress in the work of organization and instruction. An experimental station is being established at the Halcombe School for the purpose of giving instruction in the propagation of seeds. Physical Drill. —Physical drill is taught in all schools, and instruction in many cases is given in deep-breathing exercises, which have proved very beneficial. A special report on these exercises has been forwarded to the Department. Finance. —From the statement of receipts and expenditure it will be seen that the amount paid in teachers' salaries and allowances (including house allowance, £1,480 17s. 6d.) was £43,004 13s. This amount includes £252 12s. 10d. paid to relieving-teachers. The sum of £2,886 7s. 4d. was paid to School Committees. On small additions, repairs, and painting the sum of £2,743 19s. was expended, on rebuilding £373 19s. 5d., and from special grants £4,159 10s,

Shortly alter the end of March the Chairman of the Board, Mr. G. S. Bridge, died after a long illness, and the Board desires to place on record here its high appreciation of the great services he has rendered to the cause of education, no trouble being too great and no time too long for him to devote to the work he bad so much at heart. His death created an extraordinary vacancy, but as there was no provision in the Act for an election, no steps were taken in the matter. I have, &c, W. J. Carson, Secretary. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1906. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," I beg to submit the following report of the proceedings of the Wellington Board of Education for the year 1905. Board. — Until the annual election the Board was composed of Messrs. R. Lee (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, J. Robertson, and T. W. McDonald. Of these Messrs. Lee, Buchanan, and J. Robertson retired by effluxion of time. To the regret of the Board and Committees generally, the last-mentioned, after nine years' faithful service, found it necessary for business reasons not to seek re-election. Messrs. Lee and Buchanan were re-elected, and Mr. A. H. Vile, who, it is worthy of note, was trained in our own schools, was elected to the seat vacated by Mr. Robertson. At the first meeting of the new Board Mr. R. Lee, who was absent on a visit to Great Britain, was unanimously re-elected Chairman. During the absence of Mr. Lee in England Mr. James Robertson acted in the capacity of Chairman until his retirement in July, and from that time until Mr. Lee's return Mr. W. Allan acted in that capacity. Both of these gentlemen gave much attention to the onerous duties they were called on to perform, and the Board has placed on record its appreciation of their services. On expiration of his term of office as Board's representative School Commissioner, Mr. J. R. Blair, who had announced his intention of retiring, consented, at the Board's special request, to accept appointment for a further term. The Board's representatives on the Wellington Technical Education Board were Messrs. Lee, Allan, and McDonald, Mr. J. Robertson being subsequently appointed in place of the first mentioned, on his resigning to visit England.

E.—l

Number of Schools. —There were at the beginning of 1905 152 schools under the control of the Board. In the course of the year there were established new schools at Momona, Akitio, Whatarangi, Waiohine, and Korora, while schools were closed at Wai-o-waka, Ngakonui, and Waingawa, so that at the end of the year 154 schools remained in operation. Attendance.—The average attendances for the respective quarters were : March, 14,106 ; June, 14,038 ; September, 13,942 ; December, 14,198. The average for the year was 14,071. The average roll was 16,235. Included in the numbers were 196 Maoris and 109 half-castes in attendance at Board schools. The percentage of attendance was 867, which, compared with 84 - 7 in 1904 and 826 in 1903, shows an improvement of 4 per cent, in two years. Further, while the average number of pupils on the roll was 739 greater than two years ago, the average attendance was 1,270 greater. The periodic reports on irregular pupils required of teachers have, by directing attention to such pupils, enabled the Truant Officers to work more effectively. A very large number of our schools now show an excellent attendance, and it is a well-observed fact that, with very few exceptions and these all capable of easy explanation, the best conducted schools are marked by a high average of attendance. In the course of the year another of the local Truant Officers resigned, fand the Board decided that the attendance conditions of the town schools had so greatly to justify the Board in placing the whole district under one officer. The following is a summary of the work of the Truant Officers : Visits to schools, 476 —373 city and suburban, 42 West Coast, '61 Wairarapa, and 39 to Catholic schools. Total cases of irregular attendance dealt with by Chief Truant Officer, 3,636 ; by country officers, 933: total, 4,569. Proceedings were taken in 189 cases, in 142 of which convictions were recorded — 133 with fines and costs, 9 without fines. Twelve cases were dismissed, 24 withdrawn owing to improved attendance, and 20 discontinued owing to removal of parents from locality or district. The fines collected amounted to £22 12s. 6d. Some of the worst truants were neglected children, and of this class 16 boys and 6 girls from seven to fourteen years of age were, at the instance of the police, committed to industrial schools. The Truant Officer in the course of the year sent to various schools 19 children of school-age who were previously not in attendance at any school. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the courteous assistance rendered to the Truant Officer by the Bench, by the police, by the officers of the Labour Department, and by teachers and Committees. The practice of employing children of school age during school hours in the capacity of messengers and on tradesmen's delivery carts has, as a result of the attention given to it, been much reduced. To the Catholic schools the same attention has been given as to our own schools, as it is noticed that any difference in treatment results in a drift from the Board to the Catholic schools, or vice versa. Teaching Staff. —At the close of the year there were in the service of the Board 135 male and 188 female teachers, 9 male and 85 female pupil-teachers : total, 144 males, 273 females, or 417 in all. The corresponding numbers for 1904 were 130 males, 264 females, or 397 in all, so that the proportion of males has slightly increased; and it is hoped that the better salaries offered under the scale of 1905 may induce a larger number of promising boys to enter the profession. The enactments of 1905, providing for a retiring-allowance and for an improved rate ofjjpayment of teachers, have met with very general approval. Training of Teacheks.—A large number of teachers again availed themselves of the instruction in manual and technical subjects offered at the Wellington and Masterton classes conducted by teachers of the Technical School, and at the Pahiatua District High School class conducted by Mr. G-. A. Jones and Misses Petrie and McCaul. At Wellington between eighty and a hundred teachers attended, and the subjects were arranged to suit both those preparing for examinations and those giving instruction in drawing subjects in schools. The course included model and memory drawing, drawing plant forms and small designs, and brushwork, including drawing from nature. The progress is reported as satisfactory on the whole, the students in many instances evincing considerable'enthusiasm. Mr. Foster again conducted with success a pupil-teachers' science class. The attempt to start a class for instruction in woodwork resulted in failure, owing to the small number who attended. A Saturday class for instruction of lady teachers in cookery, conducted at the Terrace School by the Wellington instructor, was attended by over twenty teachers, and a number of others expressed a desire to attend. Physical training classes for lady teachers were held at Wellington and Masterton, the Board paying for the instruction ; but the Department's grant for instruction of men in military drill was withdrawn, owing to the unsatisfactory attendance. The Board is well pleased to note the considerable number of teachers who have!been steadily endeavouring to improve their educational status on University lines. A few cases have, however, come under notice wherein a quite immoderate amount of such work has been undertaken, to the detriment of health and efficiency. will do'well to remember that the proper discharge of their duties as teachers and the welfare of jtheir pupils should first and last care. Training College.—The Board records with much satisfaction that the establishment of a Training College for the Middle University District has been sanctioned ; that a grant has been made for the necessary additions to the Thorndon School, that plans have been drawn and approved, and that at the time of writing the work is well under way. Applications were invited throughout Australia and New Zealand for the position of Principal, the Board having decided that the appointee should have an intimate knowledge of colonial conditions. For the position of Kindergarten Mistress applications were invited in Great Britain as well, as the Board considered that the appointee should have wide knowledge of recent developments in kindergarten. The position of Principal was conferred on Mr. William Gray, M.A., B.Sc, Chief Inspector of Schools in the Wanganui Education District; and, on the advice of Professor Sadler, that of Kindergarten Mistress on Miss Dorothy Fitch, of the Home and Colonial Institute, London. The remaining members of the staff have been appointed since the end of the year. The institution thus established will, the Board trusts, become, by wise management, a potent factor in promoting educational efficiency and raising educational ideals throughout the colony. I may add that while students are received from all parts of the Middle University District, the cost of administra-

11— E. 1.

E.—l

tion is apparently to be a charge on the funds of this Board alone. The Board desires me to acknowledge its special indebtedness to the Inspector-General for the valuable assistance he has rendered in all difficulties which presented themselves in the establishment of the College, and thanks are due to the Thorndon School Committee, which very courteously and very readily fell in with the views of the Board. Scholarships and Secondary Education. — For Board scholarships 115 candidates entered. Eighteen scholarships were awarded to candidates from schools of over 200 pupils in average attendance ; twelve to candidates from schools of between 41 and 200 in average attendance ; and two to candidates from schools of less than 41 in average attendance. Only five candidates presented themselves from schools of the last class, which, considering the inducements offered, was a much smaller number than might reasonably be expected to compete. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act three National Scholarships were awarded to candidates from this education district; three candidates were awarded Queen's Scholarships. Awards of all three scholarships were determined by the results of the National Scholarship examination. A prominent feature of the educational work of the year was the establishment of seven district high schools in addition to the two previously in operation at Masterton and Pahiatua, a secondary department having, with Government sanction, been added to the schools at Terrace and Newtown (Wellington), at Levin, Petone, Hutt, Carterton, and Greytown. The total district high school averages increased from 93 in 1904 to 314 in 1905. The programmes of work have, as far as possible, been designed to meet the requirements of the respective districts. In view of the great success of the Technical School day classes, of the increasing attendance at the district high schools, and of the failure or delay on the part of the Governors of the Boys' and Girls' Colleges to provide free places in these institutions for even scholarship winners, it now appears to the Board imperative that a high school should be established in Wellington under section 88 of " The Education Act, 1904." Application has already been made in the direction indicated, but the need of such a school has since then received further emphasis for the reasons mentioned above. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Capitation was earned by 110 schools in 1905 as compared with 96 in 1904. The subjects most widely taught were brushwork and plasticine modelling ; but classes were also recognised in elementary agriculture, 12 ; dressmaking, 1 ; chemistry, 2 ; first aid and ambulance, 1 ; swimming, 1 ; botany, 1 ; physics, 1 ; cookery, Wellington and Wairarapa centres. The last-mentioned subject has been satisfactorily taught by the Instructors in Wellington, and in various Wairarapa centres, from Pahiatua in the north to Featherston in the south. The work at Masterton should be conducted in much more pleasant conditions in the fine new cookery room just approaching completion; and it is hoped in time to provide, in all the growing centres of the Wairarapa, appliances more in keeping with requirements. Application has been made for a grant for a cookery room at Levin, and in the proposed new technical buildings at Petone provision will be made for instruction in cookery. Woodwork has not hitherto formed a subject of instruction in our schools, but a room now being fitted up at the Normal School will serve for pupils attending schools in the north end of the town, and the Board hopes shortly to be provided with the means to establish a woodwork and cookery centre at South Wellington. Before the close of the year the Board, in conjunction with the Technical Education Board, appointed as Instructor in Elementary Agriculture Mr. W. C. Davies, of Mauriceville West, the excellence of whose work in this department of school instruction has been widely recognised. Printed suggestions for a two-years course in nature study and agriculture, drawn up by the Inspectors and the Instructor, have been supplied to teachers, many of whom evince a keen interest in the subject. As soon as possible arrangements will be completed for the systematic instruction of teachers in Saturday classes at different centres, taking them in turn. In this, the latest of the Board's enterprises, very wide interest has been aroused outside purely educational circles. Buildings.—The spread of settlement and the largely increased attendance at existing schools rendered necessary the erection or enlargement of many of them. After production of convincing evidence of need grants were, in accordance with recent practice, authorised for the following works : For new schools at Longbush, Korora, Northland (brick), Nireaha ; for additions at Te Horo ; for additions for district high school purposes at Masterton (brick), Carterton (brick), Petone, Pahiatua (partly brick) ; for erection of old Horowhenua School and at Kereru ; for re-erection of schools destroyed by fire at Hukanui and South Wellington. In rebuilding the South Wellington School improved construction and arrangement of rooms are introduced. Government grants were supplemented by considerable sums from the Board funds for purposes of reconstruction at Shannon and Carterton. A new school was erected at Akatarawa from a grant previously received. In the expenditure of the maintenance of buildings grant the efforts of the Board were steadily directed to placing in thorough repair as many of the schools and residences as means at disposal would permit, these works being undertaken in order of time; and to improving the latrine accommodation at fourteen schools.

School Committees.—The Board again places on record its appreciation of the excellent work which continues to be done by Committees. Some have improved the school reserves by levelling, grading, and tree-planting; others have purchased library books and extra apparatus. The kindly interest manifested in the well-being of teachers and pupils has contributed not a little to the successful working of the schools. Staff. —Since the transfer of a large part of individual examination to the headmasters and the retirement of the Chief Inspector, two Inspectors were relied on to do the work; but, owing to increase in attendance, to the growth of district high schools, and to extra work arising from the introduction of the new syllabus, the Board decided on the appointment of a third Inspector. Mr. J. S. Tennant, M.A., B.Sc, headmaster of the High School, Ashburton, was appointed to the position. The relations of the Board with its staff officers, and with the teaching staff of the district, continue to be of a cordial nature. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education. Robert Lee, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir,— Napier, sth April, 1906. I have the honour to present a summary record showing the progress of education in this district for the year 1905. Board. —The members of the Board are : T. Tanner (Chairman), Rev. W. J. Comrie, Rev. A. Grant, C. Hall, M.H.R., S. McLernon, J. J. Patterson, J. C. Westall, C. Whittington, and Sir William Russell. School Attendance. —The average attendance for 1904 was 7,408 ; for 1905, 7,667. The roll number for 1904, 8,707 ; and for 1905, 9,002. Schools.—Two aided schools have been opened at Mangatarata, and schools have been erected at the Argyll, Whatatutu, Port Awanui, and Wigan Settlements. Several additions have been made to schools and teachers' residences, and an entirely new residence has been erected at Waerenga-a-hika out of the maintenance grant. In some districts rooms are occupied for teaching that are not the Board's property ; most of these have been erected by settlers who are a long distance from any public established school, but who receive assistance to the extent of £6 per average attendance. This the Board considers a wise measure, as it enables settlers to avail themselves of the great benefit of the education of their children. The conditions under which the Board can expend the maintenance grant are now more liberal than those of the last three years. There is one subject—the erection of teachers' residences—which the Department does not seem willing to touch upon. The Board is of the opinion that this is a matter

E—l

that requires careful consideration by the Department. It is well known there are dozens of places where a teacher cannot obtain even the semblance of a dwelling for love or money. If we are to keep our teachers, proper dwellings must be found for them. House-allowance grants do not meet the requirements. Appaeatus and Appliances.—The syllabus of instruction as provided for in the new regulations makes it compulsory to supply new apparatus and appliances to meet the requirements. Scholarships.—There are 38 scholarship holders under the Board in this district —32 junior, 4 national, and 2 senior—not to mention 2 Victoria Scholarships gained by children in this district. District High Schools.—Four district high schools are established in the district; the average attendance for the December quarter was 184.- The Board is of the opinion that provision should be made to accommodate pupils in the Hastings district. The average attendance for the December quarter was 184. Technical Education.—The work shows an advance on the work of 1904. Classes in woodwork, dressmaking, and cookery are being carried on throughout the district by special instructors, who devote their whole time to the work, with every promise of 'good results. The Department is to be thanked for the liberal grants for fitting up cookery rooms at Napier and Hastings. The Board has purchased a site on which to erect a technical school at Napier. The plans for the proposed building will be submitted for the Department's approval, and it is hoped that the coming year will, see the classes in Napier enjoying the advantage of suitable accommodation. Teachers' Saturday Classes.—These classes are carried on in Dannevirke, Gisborne, and Napier in subjects of drawing, dressmaking, woodwork, and cookery, and are well attended. A teachers' winter class was taken during the holidays to allow of teachers in outlying districts who, on account of distance, were unable to attend the weekly Saturday classes. Some sixty-five students attended over a two weeks' course of instruction. The work taken was similar to the programme set down for the Saturday classes, and the teachers returned home well pleased with the training they had received. School Committees.—lt is a matter of congratulation that the Board continues to be on such friendly terms with the School Committees of the district. Some expressions of discontent have been made that the Board does not fulfil all demands ; but the Board's resources do not permit them to meet all requests. The Board has always endeavoured to meet the wishes of School Committees, and several of them have subsidised the Board's grants. Several beautiful gardens around some of the schools show what interest the School Committees and teachers take in the establishment of school gardens, for nature study as well as ornamentation. ! , if.-i ;! ■ ; ■.' Finance. —The amount paid for teachers' salaries is £25,833 [ss. 6d.; to School Committees, £2,594 19s. 5d.; and an extra grant by the Government of £278 4s. 3d.: total, £2,873 3s. Bd. The amount expended (exclusive of technical) on the purchase of sites, erection of school buildings, and repairs was £4,749 ss. 10d. I have, &c, The Eight Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Thos. Tanner, Chairman.

MARLBOROUGH. Sir,— Blenheim, 31st May, 1906. I have the honour to present the report of the Marlborough Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1905. Board. —At the commencement of the year the Board consisted of the following gentlemen : John Clervaux Chaytor, John Duncan, Alfred John Litchfield, Richard McCallum, William Henry Macey, William Benoni Parker, Alfred George Fell, Charles Ferguson, and John James Winsbury White. The members retiring in August by rotation (Messrs. Fell, Ferguson and Parker) were reelected without opposition. The Board held twelve meetings during the year. Schools. —The number of schools at the beginning of the year was 61 ; of these, 27 were in grade 0, \i in grade 1, 6 in grade 2, 3 in grade 3, 3 in grade 4, 2 in grade 5, 2 in grade 7, 3 in grade 8, and lin grade 10. At the end of the year the number had increased to 67, including 5 that were temporarily closed or were working with teachers not recognised by the Board. The increase was entirely in the schools in grade 0, the number of which had increased to 38. Several fresh applications for the establishment of such schools are already spoken of, and for the reasons given in my last report it is impossible to ignore them, and thereby condemn the majority of the unfortunate children to a lifelong condition of comparative ignorance. The spread of settlement, more particularly at Flaxbourne, has rendered it necessary to make provision for several new schools. Special grants for buildings at Grassmere, Ward, and Seaview have been made, and by the time this report reaches you that at Seaview will be finished, and contracts let for those at Ward and Grassmere. The new school at North Bank has been built, and was opened at the beginning of 1906. As a considerable number of the Flaxbourne settlers had taken up their residence soon after the allotment of the sections, the Board decided to rent a building that was available, and to open a temporary school in the Township of Ward, so that the children should not waste their time while waiting for the completion of the new building. The fitting-up of this building was completed in time to allow of the opening of the school early in January. After some unsuccsssful attempts to obtain a suitable site for the Technical School, it was ultimately resolved to erect the same on the north-western corner of the Borough School grounds, and a contract for the erection of the building was let at the end of the year. Under the energetic management of Mr. Strachan, the Board's Inspector, a winter school for teachers was organized and set to work during the winter holidays. This was attended by nearly all the teachers of public schools in the district, and by several teachers of private schools. The Department's assistance in granting railway passes, as well as substantial aid of a pecuniary character, is gratefully acknowledged, and more especially for giving us the personal assistance of the Inspector-General and of Mr. Isaac, the Organizing Inspector. Saturday classes for teachers have been held during the year at Havelock and Blenheim ; the latter were well attended by all the teachers along the line of railway, and by not a few from less favoured localities. The good effect of these classes is beginning to show itself in the ordinary work of the schools, and the Board has to thank the Inspector for the energy and perseverance with which he organized and followed them up. The passing of the Teachers' Superannuation Act was perhaps the most noteworthy event of the year in educational matters, and will be an immense benefit to the teachers, more especially to the younger members of the profession. The Board, however, is of opinion that sufficient consideration has not been given to the cases of teachers and officers of Boards who spent their lives in the service, and would respectfully suggest that an amendment of the Act should be introduced to enable the Superannuation Board to take into account the whole length of such service, instead of limiting it to the years that have passed since the Act of 1877 came into force. The case of our present Secretary (and former Inspector) seems to us to be specially deserving of consideration. After upwards of forty-two years of service, the Board thinks that although service has been given in three different provinces of the colony, he should be treated at least as well as he would have been had that time been completed under almost any branch of the Civil Service of the General Government. Genebal Maintenance of Buildings.—The Board, with the view of the more economical, and at the same time more efficient administration of this fund, determined to adopt the plan of purchasing the materials direct from the importers, and employing a competent man to undertake the painting and petty repairs required throughout the district, and there is ample reason to be satisfied with the result, as it is found that, while the work is better done, the expense is considerably less than under the contract system. The following schools have been well painted and repaired during the year : Canvastown, Fairhall, Kaituna, Okaramio, Onamalutu, Rai Valley, and Renwick, at a cost in labour and material of about £180, while the Board has the satisfaction of knowing that the best materials have been used, and that the work has been thoroughly well done.

E.—l

The Ward System.—This latest innovation in educational management appears to the Board to be an utterly useless, as well as a most mischievous " tinkering " with the Education Act. If any necessity for such experimental legislation existed in any of the large districts, there was not the slightest need for such a change in Marlborough, or, probably, in any of the smaller education districts. It cannot truthfully be said that any —even the most remote —portion of this district has had cause to complain of the neglect of its requirements. Every member of the Board has acted as though he were representing every part, as well as the whole of the district. No complaint of undue preference of one part, to the detriment of any other, has ever been heard in Marlborough. The change will introduce a most undesirable element of parochialism into the proceedings of the Board, and, judging by analogy with other representative institutions, a member will in future be valued according to the amount of money he can cause to be devoted to his particular ward, with little consideration for the welfare of the district as a whole. The change is particularly mischievous in this district, as it will give some Committees a most undesirable preponderance of influence in the election. For instance, one Committee, if its members are, as they probably will be, unanimous, will be able to outvote all the Committees in the same ward, although having control of over less than one-fifth of the children in that ward. This difficulty might have been avoided if the framers of the Act had shown the usual courtesy of consulting the Boards. On the whole, the Board is of opinion that this latest example of ill-advised legislation is calculated to diminish, if not entirely to destroy, the influence of the Boards. The report of the Board's Inspector, already forwarded, gives all the information required as to educational progress within the district. I have, &c, ; John Duncan, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

NELSON. Sir,— Education Office, Nelson, sth April, 1906. I have the honour to lay before you a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board for the year 1905. The Board. —At the annual election of three members of the Board the retiring members were re-elected, so that the ■personnel of the Board is the same as at the end of the previous year—viz., Messrs. W. N. Franklyn, T. J. Baigent, A. T. Maginnity, George Talbot (Chairman), J. D. Beuke, T. Bailie, H. Atmore, W. H. Phillips, and W. Lock. In the opinion of the Board the method of electing members of Education Boards as it has obtained during the last twenty-seven years was perfectly satisfactory,

E.—l

and there seemed to be no sufficient reason, at least in this education district, where the retiring members have almost invariably been re-elected, to warrant the drastic change effected by the Act of last session. Meetings of the Board. —The Board has held twenty-four meetings during the year, the average attendance reaching the satisfactory figure of B'3. Primary Schools. —At the close of the year 1904 there were 114 schools open; of these a few household schools have been closed and others of the same kind opened. River Terrace School was made a side school to Brightwater ; Oparara School was closed in the middle of November, arrangements having been made for conveying the children to Karamea School, leaving 112 schools in operation at the end of the year. With respect to the. conveyance of children to school at the cost of the State, the Board has adopted the suggestion of the Department and consulted its solicitors as to its liability for damages in case of accident. The Board is advised that it is not responsible unless the accidents are due to " gross carelessness " on the part of its employee; but as it is impossible for the Board to insure that no person in charge of a boat, trap, or other conveyance taking children to or from school will ever be guilty of " gross carelessness," it is thought that it might be well for the Department to take such measures as would free the Board from this responsibility. Attendance of Scholars. —The slight increase in roll-number and attendance shown in the operations of 1904 has been maintained in the past year. The average roll-number in 1904 was 5 - 596, during last year it was 5607, the average attendance for the two years being respectively 4,71T75 and 4,830 p 75. The Board has found that the appointment of head and sole teachers as Truant Officers is working satisfactorily, and no cases of friction have been brought to the notice of the Board. Physical Instruction.—The returns show that physical instruction in some form is now given in every school in this education district. Cadet corps are established in connection with the schools at Nelson, Richmond, Wakefield, Motupiko, Motueka, Westport, Waimangaroa, Denniston, and Reefton. The corps at Westport and neighbourhood constitute a battalion. Buildings.—During the year the first wing of the Westport brick school has been erected, and the School Committee are now urging upon the Board the necessity of continuing the work, so that before long the whole design of ten rooms may be completed. The Coal Creek School has been removed to a more central position at Sedddonville, and enlarged by the addition of one room. An addition has been made also to Granity Creek School. The Motupipi School has been thoroughly renovated and enlarged, the older portion of the building having been taken away and the newer one added to at a cost of nearly £200. Most of these works have been assisted by special grants from the Department, and the Board desires to express its appreciation of the courtesy with which its applications have been received, and of the substantial help afforded the Board in carrying out these works. Superannuation.—The Board desires to congratulate the Department on the passing of the Teachers' Superannuation Act, which it believes will prove of great value to the cause of Education in New Zealand. The scheme may not be as perfect as could be wished, and in some cases appears to work an injustice ; but the Board is satisfied that the same wise statesmanship which initiated the scheme will ultimately succeed in removing all imperfections therefrom, and in placing an equitable and workable Act upon the statute-book. Meanwhile, it is hoped that the present Act will be administered with discrimination, and not be allowed to inflict hardship upon old and deserving servants of the public. Technical School. —During the year a technical school has been erected in Nelson, consisting of woodwork and plumbers' workrooms, a cookery room (used also for dressmaking), an art room, a room for architectural drawing and mechanical drawing, and two rooms for continuation classes. One session has been held, and the attendance tended to prove that the school supplied an actual need. The following is a list of the classes held, and the number of pupils on the roll of each : Mechanical drawing, 15 pupils ; architectural drawing, 19 ; woodwork, 26 ; dressmaking, 29 ; plumbing, 13 ; freehand drawing from casts and in light and shade, 36 ; modelling, 1 ; cookery, 18 ; woodcarving, 11 ; mathematics, 4. The above were all technical classes. The following continuation classes were also held : English, 33 pupils ; arithmetic, 33 ; shorthand, 33 ; book-keeping, 25. The following teachers' classes have been held in the Nelson Technical School or in connection therewith —viz., woodwork, cookery, vocal music, drawing, physiography, dressmaking. Teachers' classes in drawing of various kinds have been held at Westport and Reefton in modelling in plasticine, in drawing, and in brushwork. Handwork was taught in thirty-eight of the public schools of the district, including most of the larger ones. It is a matter for regret that no understanding has yet been arrived at to enable the Board to erect a building at Westport that would be suitable for both a school of mines and a technical school. Secondary Instruction. —The three district high schools in the Board's district continue their good work, but the past year has witnessed so serious a falling-off both in average roll number and average attendance that one is driven to the conclusion that the advantages of higher education are not yet realised by parents. Secondary Schools.—Westport: 1904 —Average roll, 60; average attendance, 44. 1905— Average roll, 44 ; average attendance, 32. Reefton : 1904—Average roll, 29 ; average attendance, 17. 1905—Average roll, 23 ; average attendance, 20.

GEEY. Sir,— Education Office, Greymouth, 20th April, 1906. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Grey for the year ending the 31st December, 1905. Board.—Messrs. John Byrne, Jeremiah McCarthy, and Joseph Petrie, who retired in August, were re-elected by the members of the School Committees. 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 re-elected Chairman and Mr. James Kerr was elected Treasurer. In February Mr. W. R. Kettle was re-elected as the Board's representative on the Greymouth High School Board, and in April Mr. John Byrne was re-elected to represent the Board as one of the School Commissioners of Westland. Schools. —At the beginning of the year thirty-three schools were in operation. Early in the year, owing to the removal of the children from the district, Red Jacks School, had to be closed. The schools were graded as follows : Grade 0, 12 ; grade 1, 6 ; grade 2, 1 ; grade 3, 5 ; grade 5, 4 ; grade 7, 1 ; grade 8, 1 ; grade 9, 1 ; grade 15, 1. The average attendance for the year was 1,381, as compared with 1,384 for the previous year. There has been an increase in regularity during the year, the figures being 845 against 83-1 for the previous year. When it is remembered that the average for the colony for the year 1904 was 855, it will be seen that there is need for the services of an energetic Truant Officer. Teachers. —At the end of the year there were in the employ of the Board 55 teachers—l 4 males and 41 females —including 8 head teachers, 24 sole teachers, 16 assistant teachers, and 7 pupil-teachers. The number of uncertificated teachers continues to grow, and for schools of grade 0 and grade 1 the Board is unable to obtain qualified teachers. Secondary Education.—Owing to change of teachers and other causes the roll-number of the Greymouth District High School fell considerably during the year. The attendance has now improved, and there are indications that the work of this department will reach its former standard. Scholarships.—At the annual examination thirteen candidates presented themselves, five of whom qualified. The Junior National Scholarship was won by a boy. from the Greymouth District High School. Drill. —Another cadet detachment was formed during the year. The work done by the cadets is of a most satisfactory nature. Physical drill is taught in almost all the schools, and generally the work is well done. Several schools where the instruction includes practice with wands, dumb-bells, or clubs do excellent work.

E.—l

12— E. 1.

Technical Instruction. —Saturday classes for teachers were established during the year, and a course of work in physical measurements was taken. In August the Board received authority to erect a woodwork and a cookery room as portion of a technical-school building. Tenders were called, and the rooms will be ready shortly. Four schools took a branch of handwork as part of the year's syllabus. Finance. —The balance-sheet shows in the General Account a debit balance of £318 11s. 3d., and in the Building Account a debit balance of £100 2s. 6d. The Board found it absolutely necessary to rebuild its office, the old insanitary wooden structure which had done duty for many years being replaced by a small but substantial brick building. This expenditure is responsible for the debit balance. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Byrne, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir,— Hokitika, 13th February, 1906. I have the honour to present the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1905. The Board. —The members that retired in August were Messrs. Clarke, Duff, and Michel, who were re-elected. The retiring Chairman, Mr. T. W. Beare, and the treasurer, Mr. H. L. Michel, were reappointed. Mr. Grimmond continued to represent the Board as School Commissioner, and Mr. Michel as one of the High School Board of Governors. The Board held during the year thirteen meetings. Schools. —The number of schools open at the beginning of the year was 33. During the year one household school (Waikukupa) was closed and another (Cook's River) opened, leaving the total number unchanged. In addition to these 5 Catholic Schools of the district were examined by the Board's Inspector. The secondary class of the Hokitika District High. School had an average roll-number of 42, and the number at the end of the year was 39. Of these pupils five were holders of the Board's Scholarships, two of the Junior National Scholarships and one of a Queen's Scholarship. A separate report shows that the class has fully maintained its efficiency, and it may be added that in connection with examinations held near the end of the year 3 have passed the Matriculation Examination and 8 the Junior Civil Service (seven with credit). Attendance.—While the roll-number still shows a slight decrease, the average attendance of the pupils has again maintained a high standard, being 893 of the average roll-number. Teachers. —The 47 teachers in the employ of the Board at the end of the year include 5 headmasters, 27 sole teachers, 10 assistants, and 5 pupil-teachers. Of those other than pupil-teachers engaged in schools with an attendance above 20, seventeen are certificated and one uncertificated. In schools of the lower grade 7 possess certificates, licenses, or partial certificates, while 17 are uncertificated. Scholarships.—The scholarships held by pupils of the district are those mentioned as attending the secondary class. The annual value of the Board's scholarships in force is two of £24, one of £12, and two of £4. At the end of the year the Board allotted three scholarships, tenable for two years and of the annual value respectively of £20, £10, and £4. Manual and Technical Instruction. —During the year the following classes, recognised specially by the Education Department, have been in force : (1.) A teachers' instruction class in carton work correlated with geometrical drawing ; the average attendance during the six months of the existence

E.—l

of the class was 17. (2.) One special class and one school class in woodwork ; the roll was respectively 29 and 26. (3.) Three special classes and one school class in cookery ; the total number in attendance was 95. (4.) Seven school classes in handwork were in force in the larger schools, and two sewing classes with an extra instructor in the schools under a male sole teacher. In addition, the junior pupils of a considerable number of schools received practical instruction in handwork. Y/ith the aid of a special grant from the Education Department a technical-school building has been erected in Hokitika, and has already been utilised for cookery classes. The room to be devoted to practical work in science will be available during the present year. Physical Instruction.—The cadet corps carried on in the previous year have been continued, and special physical instruction has formed part of the course in 18 schools, including all those above the first grade that are under a master. Finance. —The balance-sheet shows in the General Account a credit balance of £21 Os. 7d. As, however, subsidiary accounts relating to secondary and technical education have credit balances, the purely administrative part of the General Account has a small debit balance. Including a credit balance of £679 Os. 6d. at the beginning of the year, the Building Fund shows the receipts of £851 18s. 6d., including £60 for new school buildings, and £250 for building for technical purposes. The expenditure exceeds this by £89 9s. 2d. Part of this, however, consists of a sum spent in anticipation of a special grant. I have, &c, The Eight Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. T. W. Beare, Chairman.

NORTH CANTERBURY. Sir,— Christchurch, 25th April, 1906. 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, 1905. The Board. —The retiring members —viz., Mr. T. W. Adams, Mr. C. H. Opie, and Mr. H. W. Peryman, were re-elected without opposition, there being no other candidates nominated. In July, Dr. Charles Chilton, M.A., resigned as a member of the Board, and in the followingynonth Mr. George Warren Russell was elected (also unopposed) to fill the vacancy thereby created. The Board held seventeen meetings during the year. The Buildings Committee also met seventeen times, the Appointments Committee thirty-five times, and the Normal School and Technical Committee eighteen times. Several other meetings were held during the year by committees specially set up to consider and report on matters hereinafter referred to. The Board desires, by means of this report and in pursuance of resolution carried, to record its deep sense of the loss sustained not only by the North Canterbury Education District, but by the whole colony, in the death of Mr. Alfred Saunders, which took place in October last. For over twenty years Mr. Saunders was a valued member of the Board, and during that long period he gave his earnest attention and faithful services to every detail connected with the important work with which he was intrusted, and by so doing contributed very materially to the successful working of the system established by " The Education Act, 1877." The Board's'jßepresentatives. —At a meeting held on the 3rd May, 1905, Mr. D. Buddo was re-elected as a Commissioner of Education Reserves, the election of members to represent the Board

E.—i

oil the several High School Boards being as follows: Akaroa, Mr. R. Latter; Ashburton, Mr. A. Orr and Rev. G. B. Inglis; Rangiora, Mr. A. S. Bruce. Buildings.—One of the main features in connection with building operations during the year has been the expenditure on the Christchurch suburban schools, substantial additions having been necessary in the cases of Addington, St. Albans, and Waltham, while a new school has also been provided for the locality known as the Port Hills. The Hanmer Plains School has been practically rebuilt, and at Waiau and Templeton new rooms have been added. The Bllesmere School and the small school at Ashley Gorge have been enlarged. Early in the year the Kaikoura Town School was destroyed by fire. The new building to take its place is at the date of this report about to be opened. The school at Omihi, which had become too small for the increased attendance, has been enlarged and removed to a more central site. A large expenditure in the aggregate has been incurred on alterations and improvements to the schools at Christchurch West, South Belt, Normal School, Femside, Kaiapoi, Leithfield, Papanui, Rangiora, St. Albans, Sydenham, and Waltham; while many other schools have either been painted or repaired. The cost of the new schools erected and of all the substantial additions has been met by special grants from the Government, to whom the thanks of the Board are due for the manner in which these requirements have been provided for. The Department has also recently authorised a grant for erection of school in the Lower Riccarton locality, for which a valuable site has already been procured. Owing to the continued extension of North Linwood, the claims of that locality for an additional school will shortly demand the Board's further consideration. The restrictions placed on the Board as regards the expenditure of its building fund continued during the year now under review, but the Board has recently learned, with a good deal of satisfaction, that in future it will be allowed more freedom of action when dealing with applications for additions or for new schools, provided due provision has been made for maintenance, repairs, and rebuilding worn-out schools. The total expenditure on buildings during 1905, including repairs, painting, and improvements, was £7,199 9s. Bd. For a considerable time the Board has been aware of the objections to the old style of desks and forms in use in its schools —that they are out of date, sometimes insanitary, and should be replaced by modern furniture better suited to the hygienic and educational requirements of school life. The Board has therefore had this matter under its earnest consideration, has inspected some of the most modern school furniture imported from America and elsewhere, and has also had the benefit of the best expert advice, before adopting the dual desk for primary schools and single desks for the secondary department of district high schools. Though the Board is aware of the desirability of equipping its schools with the most modern furniture—and it is not surprised that School Committees are constantly making requests in this direction—yet it is quite unable, from financial reasons, to do much more than furnish additions and new schools in the manner stated. But the Board hopes that the funds available may also be sufficient to replace old worn-out furniture with modern. The larger question of replacing the whole of the furniture in the Board's schools is one for the consideration of Parliament. It would cost for North Canterbury alone quite £20,000 ; but this expense would probably be less than the cost of the additions that would be necessary to the school consequent on the introduction of the modern desks, which require more space than those at present in use. In dealing with all the schools, but more especially the larger ones, the question of staff would also have to be considered, seeing that with the modern desks, whether single or dual, the number of children in each class-room would necessarily be considerably reduced and additional room have to be found elsewhere, in this way at once creating the need of a larger staff. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including 23 aided schools, was 210, classified as follows : Not over 10, 18 ; 11 to 20, 43 ; 21 to 25, 19 ; 26 to 40, 41 ; 41 to 50, 22 ; 51 to 70, 15 ;71 to 90, 11 ;91 to 120, 12 ; 121 to 150, 5 ; 151 to 200, 4; 201 to 250, 4 ; 251 to 280, 2 ; 281 to 330, 2 ; 331 to 390, 3 ; 421 to 480, 3 ; above 510, 6. Maintenance.—The expenditure on salaries and allowances to teachers engaged in primary departments amounted to £57,965 18s. 7d., and grants to School Committees and other incidental expenses (inclusive of special grant of 9d.) to £6,717 16s. 4d., making a total of £64,683 14s. lid. The average attendances on which payment of salaries and incidentals was made were 16,703 and 16,822 respectively, so that the cost per head of salaries was nearly £3 9s. 5d., and that of incidental expenses Bs., a total of £3 17s. sd. per head. The expenditure on the salaries of teachers engaged in secondary departments was £2,506 12s. 7d. Teachers.—The total number of teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1905 was 520. Of these, 206 (120 males and 86 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge ; 207 (43 males and 164 females) were assistants; and 107 (31 males and 76 females) were pupil-teachers, There were 27 sewing mistresses in the Board's employment at the end of the year. Irregular Attendance.—The improvement in the attendance at the Board's schools, referred to in report of last year, has been sustained, the Truant Officer reporting that generally speaking parents are now more ready to comply with the law. Fines were inflicted in eighty of the 125 cases taken into Court during the year, the total amount of fines being £15 45., a slight decrease as compared with the previous year. Training College.—ln his report the Director of the Training College gives full particulars as to the number of students that entered for training during the year. Mr. Watkins also refers to the difficulties met with in the children's department owing to the many changes that have taken place. The newer conditions under which the training and practising departments are now carried on have necessitated extensive alterations to several of the class-rooms. The increased grant lately made by the Department for training colleges has enabled the Board to increase the staff, which can now be arranged on a more satisfactory basis. There has been some difficulty in finding a suitable location for the science laboratory. The conversion of part of the old drill-shed for the purpose has been definitely decided upon. Inspection.—ln the Inspectors' report will be found the statistical information annually furnished in regard to the number of children examined, also interesting reference to the principal subjects of instruction- Out of an enrolment of 19,590 pupils attending the Board's schools 18,556 presented

E.—l

themselves for examination, to which number must be added the 1,074 children who, out of a roll of 1,233, were present as pupils in attendance at the private schools examined.'jlf is a matter for regret that the time spent in examining the private schools should have prevented the Inspectors from completing their inspection of the public schools—a feature which the Board will not be able to disregard should additional applications for the services of the Board's Inspectors be received. During the year the Board's attention has been drawn by School Committees to the absence in the examination reports of information in regard to the progress of pupils in classes below Standard VI. In the opinion of the Board the complaints in this connection are well founded, as it believes a mistake has been made in omitting from the examination schedules the information previously given in respect of the progress made by all the pupils. The Board also feels that this failure to record " passes "at the several stages below Standard VI will result in much inconvenience in later years, when no provision will exist for supplying the information on which employment in the public service often depends. In December, 1905, after a service of nineteen years, Dr. W. J. Anderson resigned his position as Inspector. The Board much regrets the loss of Dr. Anderson's services to this district, but congratulates him on having received the appointment of Assistant Inspector-General, to the discharge of whose duties the Board feels he brings ripe experience and proved enthusiasm in scholastic work. Scholarships.—The results of the Board's scholarship examinations, held at the Training College in the month of December, 1905, were as follows : In the Senior Scholarship competition 15 candidates presented themselves. There were 74 candidates for Junior Scholarships. Owing to the reduction made in the value of its scholarships, consequent upon holders of scholarships being entitled to free places, the Board has been able to largely increase the number of scholarships, 28 having been awarded instead of 18. The four National Scholarships allotted to the North Canterbury district were duly awarded. Under the regulations it was incumbent on the Board to reserve one scholarship for candidates entering from schools having a yearly average attendance of not more than 40, and one for candidates from schools above 40 but not more than 200. There were eight candidates for the two Gammack Scholarships. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Speaking generally, the interest in manual and technical instruction has been sustained during the year at the several centres where either associated or special classes are carried on. Towards the end of the year an associated board of managers was formed at Akaroa for the purpose of establishing technical classes. Early in the year a special committee was set up to consider whether it was practicable and desirable for the Board to carry on the Christchurch technical classes. The committee's report emphasized the necessity of appointing a Director, and recommended that another effort should be made to obtain the co-operation of the several local bodies, with the view of appointing a board of managers and raising annually by way of contribution and subsidy a sum sufficient to allow of the classes being continued on a more satisfactory basis. The action taken by the Board on the committee's recommendations and the personal representations made by Mr. Hight and Mr. Russell, the members of the Board who interviewed the local bodies interested, were entirely successful, and the classes were formally taken over by the new board of managers in November, 1905. The generous contribution made by the Christchurch City Council, the support of other local bodies, and the appointment of a Director to personally supervise and control the classes 'encourage the belief that technical instruction in Christchurch will shortly be developed on sound lines, providing valuable opportunities for apprentices to acquire a sound knowledge of the principles underlying their respective trades and occupations. In response to numerous requests, and after ascertaining that a large number of teachers were desirous of receiving instruction in the subject, the Board has recently agreed to the appointment of an instructor in agriculture, one of whose principal duties will be to conduct theoretical and practical classes. The matter will form the subject of further reference in the Board's report for this present year. District High Schools. —No additional district high schools have been constituted during the year 1905. Since the close of the year an application has been received for the school situated on the South Belt to be converted into a district high school, for which step, however, the Board has decided that the time is not ripe. The introduction of a fixed scale of staffs and salaries for teachers in secondary departments marks a great improvement on the old unsatisfactory method under which at the end of the year surplus salary moneys had to be divided among the members of the staff. The new regulations make no provision for grants for the apparatus required in the secondary departments. Cqrporal Punishment.—During the year a very important question was raised in connection with the administration of the Education Act—viz., whether in effect a teacher has the right to administer corporal punishment if the parent of the child concerned objects to such form of correction. In the opinion of the Board's solicitors, to whom the matter was referred, there is no room to doubt the power of a school-teacher to include corporal punishment as a part of the discipline of his school, and that the law will not interfere with him in the exercise of such power unless it be proved that he has exercised it unreasonably. It is the rule of the Board that all children attending its schools shall be subject to the discipline of the school which they attend. The Board has sufficient confidence in its teachers to leave, it to their discretion to determine when the administration of corporal punishment is necessary, and to believe that when they do find it necessary they will see that it is administered in a reasonable and proper manner. The Board has already notified its teachers that they will be expected to inflict corporal punishment with great care and moderation, and that undue severity or infringement of the rules laid down will render them liable to dismissal. Pupil-teachers.—The issue by the Education Department of new regulations for the empjoyment and examination of pupil-teachers made it necessary for the Board to materially alter its own regulations respecting pupil-teachers. For the future in the appointment of pupil-teachers preference must be given to those who have passed two years in a secondary school, or in the secondary classes of a district high school, or in the Seventh Standard of any other public school. There will be two general examinations for all pupil-teachers of the second and fourth years, called respectively the first and second examinations, and, in addition, all pupil-teachers of the first and third years will be required

JB.—l

to present themselves for examination in special subjects bearing on their work as teachers. No new appointment will be sanctioned if the transfer of a pupil-teacher from another school, rendered necessary by the operation of the colonial scale of staffs and salaries, can be made. A candidate that has passed the Civil Service Junior Examination shall be entitled to rank on appointment as a second-year pupil-teacher, and one that has passed the Matriculation Examination, or has obtained at least a partial pass for Class D in the Teachers' Certificate Examination, shall be entitled to rank on appointment as a third-year pupil-teacher. For such persons the term of service shall be three years and two years respectively, unless at the time of appointment it is otherwise agreed. In the case of candidates that have passed the Matriculation Examination, and who have not reached seventeen years of age, the Board is willing to agree to a three-years service. A longer service in these cases is in the opinion of the Board undesirable, seeing that the regulations of the Department render matriculated candidates eligible to enter the Training College without having served as pupil-teachers. Conference of Education Boaeds. —At its meeting on the 16th August, 1905, the Board carried the following resolution : " That it is desirable that a conference of members of Education Boards be held in Wellington during the session, in order to discuss and give united expression to desirable alterations and amendments in the administration of the primary-education system." The other Education Boards were invited to send delegates to the conference. Copies of the minutes of the proceedings of the conference, which was held on the 12th September, 1905, and following days, have been distributed to Education Boards, School Committees, and head teachers throughout the colony. Teachers' Superannuation Fund. —Early in the year the Board communicated with the North Canterbury members of Parliament, requesting them to support a Bill providing a fund for the superannuation of public-school teachers. " The Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1905," which came into operation on the Ist January, 1906, makes such provision, and will doubtless prove of benefit to teachers who, owing to old age or infirmity, are compelled to retire from active service. In the case of teachers who have grown old in the service of this or other Education Boards the payments provided by the Act do not appear to adequately express the value of the services rendered; but, nevertheless, the Government is to be congratulated on extending to school-teachers the application of the principle under which other branches of the public service enjoy the benefit of a pension fund. The Board trusts that the financial basis underlying the scheme embodied in the Act will prove sufficiently sound to admit of increased payments being made. I have, &c, The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. John Rennie, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTERBURY. Sir, — Education Office, Timam, Ist March, 1906. 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 31st December, 1905. The Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Messrs. G. W. Armitage, John Campbell, William M. Hamilton, William B. Howell, J.P., John Jackson, J.P., Daniel McCaskill, J.P., John S. Rutherford, J.P., John Talbot, J.P., and the Rev. George Barclay, J. P. Messrs. Campbell, Howell, and McCaskill retired during the year, and the election to fill the vacancies resulted in the re-election of the Messrs. Howell and McCaskill, and in the election of Mr. C. S. Howard. It is with feelings of deep regret that the Board has to record the deaths of two of its members during the year, Mr. Campbell dying before the election was complete, and Mr. McCaskill soon after the declaration of the results. Mr. Thomas Sherratt, of Geraldine, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. McCaskill. In August Mr. Howell was elected Chairman of the Board for the tenth time in succession. The Board held twelve meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being seven. The Schools. —There were 74 schools in operation during the year. New school districts were declared at Gray's Corner, Rosewill, and Tycho, and contracts let for the erection of buildings. Teachers. —In December, 1905, there were in the service of the Board 147 teachers ; of these 124 were adults, and 23 pupil-teachers. Of the adults. 51 were men and 73 were women ; of the pupilteachers, 8 were males and 15 were females. " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905."—The new provisions for the appointment of teachers will not materially alter the method adopted in this district some years ago ; indeed, with the exception of some unimportant details, the steps provided by the Act are the same as those practised by this Board. The increases in salaries will be welcomed by teachers, especially by those in charge of small country schools. The Act now provides for a salary at the rate of £6 per unit of the average attendance of the smallest schools. One result of the increased pay has been that it is not now so difficult as it was formerly to get teachers for our small schools. Certainly the teachers are often not so competent and well-trained as could be wished for, still it is hoped that the time is not far distant when the Board will be able to provide all except the very smallest schools with fully certificated teachers. The new provisions for the staffing of district high schools have compelled the Board to give notice of dismissal to six teachers in order to adjust the staffs in accordance with the requirements of the amended Act. This has been a hardship to some of the teachers concerned. Pupil-teachers.—During 1905 four ex-pupil-teachers and one other student from this district attended the Training College, Christchurch, and it is expected that about twelve more will be in attendance during 1906. The experience thus gained by these teachers should materially help them in their subsequent careers, and it is hoped that in future few of our pupil-teachers will be satisfied unless they spend at least one year at a training college. It is worthy of note that with one exception all the pupilteachers appointed during 1905 and the first two months of 1906 (fourteen in all) had passed the Matriculation Examination. Superannuation.—The Board views with satisfaction the passing of the Superannuation Act, making provision for the paying of retiring-allowances to teachers and others in the Education service. Not only will this provide for the retirement of many who have given a lifetime to the cause of education, but it will hold out a strong inducement to those contemplating entering the service. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examinations were held in December, the number of candidates being, for the junior examination 18, for the senior examination 14. The latter examination was conducted for the first time by the Education Department on the same papers as the Civil Service Junior Examination. One reason for this change was that many candidates for senior free places in secondary schools were saved from sitting for two or three examinations in close succession. Nine Senior and 10 Junior Scholarships were awarded. School Furniture. —The desks in use in many of our schools are very old, out of date, inconvenient, and uncomfortable. Recently all infant schools have been supplied with desks, and the old galleries have in most cases been displaced. The Board has now under consideration the question of adopting for general purposes a more comfortable and hygienic school desk. From many points of view the best desk is undoubtedly the single desk, but the floor space in many of our schools is too limited for its adoption unless the accommodation provided is to be increased. Whether the single or the dual desk is chosen, the Board hopes soon to be able to find a satisfactory type of desk which can be made at a reasonable cost in the colony. Single desks for the secondary classes of the district high schools have been ordered from America. 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. Attendance. —The number on the roll at the end of the year shows an increase of 32 over that of the previous year, and the yearly average attendance (4,501) an increase of 57. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly rolls for the four quarters was 88"2, the highest since the Board has been in existence. It is gratifying to be able to say that the attendance for the past year has been more regular than that for any previous year. Manual and Technical Instruction.—The number of schools taking up this work continues to increase ; and, indeed, there are few schools in the district in which some of the subjects provided for in the Act are not successfully taught. The amount of capitation earned during the year by the various

E.—l

primary schools amounted in the aggregate to about £550. The newly appointed teacher of cookery took up her duties in February, and her classes have been well attended and successfully conducted. At the end of the year a teacher of woodwork was appointed to commence duties early in 1906. Arrangements have been made for the teaching of the subjects of cookery and woodwork to the upper classes of eight of the larger schools, and the number will be gradually increased. Classes for the training of teachers in manual and technical subjects were conducted at Timaru and Waimate, those at the former place being well attended. Twelve teachers passed the City and Guilds first-year examination in woodwork, and intend sitting for the final examination during 1906. Seventeen others passed the St. John's Ambulance Association examination for first aid. During the week before Christmas a summer school for the instruction of teachers in cardboard modelling and geology was held, nearly all the teachers in the district attending. The former class was taught by Mr. Isaac, Inspector of Technical Schools, assisted by Mr. Clarke, of Stratford; the latter class by Dr. Marshall, of the Otago University. The attendance at these classes was good, the teachers took a keen interest in their work, and the instruction must result in increased efficiency in the schools. The " associated classes " at Timaru, Waimate, and Temuka continue to do good work in their districts. Classes are formed in shorthand, bookkeeping, typewriting, English, arithmetic, and other commercial subjects ; but when the teaching is good, the classes in which the greatest interest is taken are those in the more technical subjects, such as plumbing, carpentry, cookery, dress-cutting, &c. Efforts are being made to increase the number and efficiency of such classes. A pleasing feature in connection with the Timaru classes is the increasing interest taken in the plumbing and carpentry classes by the master builders. If employers generally would follow this example and encourage their apprentices to attend evening classes, and were to take a hand in helping to increase the efficiency of the classes by giving financial help and practical suggestions, the success of the technical schools would be assured. During the year the Government made a grant of £1,000 for the Temuka Technical School building, and it is expected to be ready for use in a few weeks. A grant of £200 was also made for enlarging the buildingJMor plumbing and woodwork in Timaru. : •-,■,. Buildings.—The receipts for buildings during the year were : Ordinary grant, £1,073 ss. 2d. ; special grants, £1,254 19s. 9d.; subsidies from School Committees, £54 ss. ; interest, £20; balance from previous year, £2,703 Bs. 7d. : total, £5,105 18s. sd. The total expenditure was £3,748 Is. 3d., leaving a balance in hand at the end of the year of £1,357 17s. 2d. Besides the ordinary works of painting and repairing buildings, the more important new works undertaken during the year were new schools at Gray's Corner, Rosewill, and Tycho, a new residence at Chamberlain, additional rooms at Waimate, Timaru South, and Glenavy, a technical and high school combined at Temuka., and a gymnasium at Waimate. Financial. —The financial position has slightly improved during the year, and, taking advantage of thjs, the Board decided to increase the amount of incidental grants to the Committees of small schools to the extent of over £100 annually. I have, &c, W. B. Howell, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sir,— Education Office, Dunedin, 30th April, 1906. 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 1905. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Hon. Thomas Fergus, Messrs. James Sim, Alexander Marshall, Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.R., James Mitchell, Andrew McKerrow, Donald Borrie, William Nicolson, and William Snow. Messrs. Borrie, Nicolson, and Snow were the members who retired. Five candidates were nominated by the School Committees for the vacancies occurring in the month of August. The result was the re-election of the three retiring members. At the first meeting of the Board in September, Mr. Donald Borrie was re-elected Chairman. The Board held thirty-one meetings during the year. The Hon. Thomas Fergus and Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.R., were reappointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Donald Borrie was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High School Board. Mr. Donald Borrie continues to represent the Board as one of the Education Reserves Commissioners. Number of Schools. —At the close of 1904 there were 221 schools in operation in the district. New schools were opened at Musselburgh, Inch Valley, and Tawanui. The schools at Purakauiti and Bendigo were reopened. The Beaumont Station, Deep Stream, Hukinga, Lee Stream, Moutere, and Tarras Schools were closed. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 220. The Normal School and the Model School in connection with it are now reckoned as two schools. The following table shows the classification of the schools according to their average attendance for the year 1905 :— Number "Aggwgate Number Aggregate Grade of School,. of °^ c Grade of Schools. of Schools.

The above shows an increase of 17 teachers for the year. In December, 1905, there weTe 39 uncertificated teachers in the Board's service, a decrease of 11 for the year. Of this number 9 were males and 30 were females. Fourteen were employed as sole teachers in schools with an average attendance below 11, eleven in schools from 11 to 20, seven in schools from 21 to 25, and seven were mistresses in schools from 41 to 50. It will be noted that of the 39 uncertificated teachers in the service at the end of last year, 14 were employed in schools the greater number of which would not now be carried on under the conditions existing prior to the passing of " The PublicSchool Teachers' Salaries Act, 1901." There are indications that in a year or two the supply of trained and certificated teachers will again equal the demand; but even when this takes place it will probably be found that the majority of schools in grade 0 (average attendance under 11) will, owing to the smallness of the salaries earned by the attendance at these schools, be taught by uncertificated or partially certificated teachers. Trained and fully certificated teachers will not be found willing to teach in schools in isolated districts for salaries the maximum of which is £60 per annum. On the whole, the number of trained and certificated teachers now available very nearly meets the demand, but there is a very serious lack of competent male teachers. Whatever may have been the cause, the number of suitable young men desiring of late years to enter the profession has been very small, only four male students having passed through the Dunedin Training College during the past two years. Lately there have been for male teachers quite a number of good appointments that have had to be filled by female teachers. It is satisfactory to note that there were in the Board's service last year 27 male pupil-teachers, an increase of 11 for the year. The number of female pupil-teachers has decreased by 8. Attendance. —The following is an abstract of the attendance at the public schools of this district from the institution of the Otago Education scheme in the year 1856 to the present time. At the beginning of 1878 the new Education District of Southland was created, and 37 schools were handed over to the newly formed Board : —[Not reprinted.] The table shows an increase of 109 in the number of pupils who attended the schools during the year. The number of pupils who attended the Dunedin schools shows a falling-off of 32. The number of pupils in attendance at all the schools at the end of the year was 166 less than at the end of the previous year, the Dunedin schools accounting for 75 of this decrease. The figures relating to average attendance show an increase of only 42 pupils for the year.

E.—l

The average attendance at the Dunedin schools shows a decrease of 38 pupils as compared with the previous year's attendance. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the weekly roll shows a further increase for the year. In 1904 this percentage was 90 for the Oamaru schools and the twenty schools in Dunedin and suburbs, and 866 for the whole district. Last year the percentages were — Oamaru schools, 91; Dunudin and suburbs, 90"9 ; whole district, 89 - 7. If the mean weekly roll for the district be taken at 19,433, the average percentage attained shows that 17,439 pupils attended school every school day and that 2,000 were absent. This is easily the highest percentage of attendance recorded, and indicates a degree of regularity of attendance of pupils that is highly satisfactory. Inspection of Schools.—The Inspectors group the schools according to efficiency as follows : Good to very good, 45 per cent. ; satisfactory, 42 per cent. ; fail, 10 per cent. ; weak or very weak, 3 per cent. The percentages in the second and fourth groups are the same as those of last year; that of the third group has decreased by 3, and the group " Good to very good " has increased by 3 per cent., a result the Inspectors regard as very satisfactory in the circumstances in which the schools had to work. In their report the Inspectors dwell at considerable length on the circumstances that in their judgment are inimical to efficiency. Making due allowance for these, they think that the majority of the schools rank as high in efficiency as could be reasonably expected. The following shows the Inspectors' estimate of the quality of the work done in Standard VII in schools other than district high schools : Very good, 7 ; good, 23 ; satisfactory, 21 ; fair, 5 ; weak, 1. In 13 other schools there was a Standard VII class, the pupils of which were absent on examination day. As the Inspectors remark, the labourer is worthy of his hire ; and the teacher of a small school who gives satisfactory instruction to this class is worthy of extra remuneration for the extra work the instruction entails. The Board would again urge upon the Minister the reasonableness of this plea. Manual and Technical Instruction. —During 1905 there were 92 schools in which instruction in handwork of some kind or other was given. As this is just about the number of schools in the district that are taught by more than one teacher, it is evident that nearly all the schools that might fairly be expected to undertake this work are devoting at least some portion of time to it. In many of the schools that are taught by only one teacher great difficulty must naturally be experienced in devoting to manual and technical subjects the time necessary to qualify for capitation, or indeed to devote any time at all to them. There are in the district about 128 of such schools, and this is about the number in which, so far, no work of this nature has been undertaken. In 1904 the number of pupils receiving instruction in handwork was 6,027, or 31 per cent.; during last year the number rose to 10,010, or 52 per cent. Of the 92 schools in which the instruction was carried on, 67 devoted to the subjects the time necessary to qualify for the Government capitation grant. In the previous year the number of such schools was 54, so that during the year just closed the list of capitation-earning schools has increased by 13 ; and not only so, but in most of these schools the range of the instruction has been much extended. In many cases all the classes now participate in the instruction, where formerly only the infants and Standards I and II did so. The Board's aim is that in all schools above grade 4 some subject of handwork or science shall be taken by each standard class. The subjects most favoured by the teachers of this district appear to be : Paper-work for classes below Standard III; brush drawing, modelling in carton, cardboard, and plasticine, for classes in Standard 111 and higher standards. In the large schools the handwork subjects taken by Standards V and VI are woodwork, cookery, physical measurements, elementary physiology, first aid; and elementary agriculturs. It is apparent that for many years to come agriculture must be the chief pursuit of a very large number of the inhabitants of this colony, and it is gratifying that a marked extension in the instruction in the subject of elementary agriculture is noticeable throughout the district, there being at the end of last year 34 schools in various parts of the district in which such instruction was being carried on, each school having connected with it a suitably equipped cottage garden where the practical work is done. The Inspectors report that the instruction given is of a very practical and educative character. The Board is of opinion that in consideration of the very great importance of this subject, and the large number of schools now giving instruction in it, the time has arrived when a specialist in agricultural subjects should be appointed. Instruction in paper-work, brush-drawing, carton, cardboard, plasticine, or clay modelling (sufficient to qualify for the Government capitation grant) was given in 33 schools, agricultural chemistry in 1, elementary physiology and first aid in 2, swimming in 4, woodwork in 21, cookery in 22, and elementary agriculture in 34. During the year cookery and woodwork classes were established at Kaitangata School, and a cookery class was commenced at Mosgiel District High School. Special teacheTS of needlework were employed in 24 schools having an average attendance below 41 and taught by male teachers. Special classes for instruction of teachers in woodwork and cookery were held during the year. Six of the Board's female teachers sat for the London City and Guilds examination in plain cookery, five of them obtaining first-class certificates, and one a second-class certificate. Nine of the Board's male teachers presented themselves for the London City and Guilds Final Examination in Woodwork, five of them obtaining first-class and three second-class certificates. The Saturday classes at the Dunedin School of Art in drawing, elementary designing, brushwork, and cardboard and clay modelling have been largely taken advantage of by country teachers and pupil-teachers. The following is a summary of the receipts and expenditure in connection with the manual and technical classes (exclusive of Dunedin, Oamaru, and Kaitangata technical classes) for the year :— Receipts.

Under the above 169 penalty summonses 164 convictions were obtained, 3 cases were withdrawn, and 2 cases were dismissed owing to the production of exemption certificates. The total amount of fines inflicted for the year was £35 3s. 6d. The Board lays upon head teachers the duty of furnishing at the beginning of each month information concerning all pupils who during the preceding month have failed to attend school each week the number of times obligatory under the Act. Head teachers are also enjoined to be very careful in the exercise of their powers regarding the granting of exemption certificates, and not to omit from their monthly return for the Truant Officer the name of any defaulter, unless they are satisfied of the genuineness of the plea of exemption. Scholarships.—During last year the Board decided to adopt the proposal of the Education Department that the Junior National Scholarships Examination be the examination for the Board's Junior Scholarships, and that the Civil Service Junior Examination be the examination for the Board's Senior Scholarships. In support of the proposal it was pointed out that, if the Board continued to hold its scholarship examinations according to its own syllabus of work, there would have to be carried on in many of its schools prsparation for four different sets of examinations —viz. : For the Board's Junior and Senior Scholarships, for National Scholarships, and for the Junior Civil Service. Consideration for the interests of the teachers and pupils induced the Board to waive its own syllabus of work and examinations, and to award its scholarships upon the results of the Junior National and the Civil Service Junior Examinations. The annual examinations in December last were held in accordance with the amended regulations. The Department conducted the examinations and examined the papers of the candidates, thereafter transmitting the results to the Board, and the latter awarded the scholarships according to the marks gained. Of the 65 competitors for Junior Scholarships who sat for the Department's Junior National Scholarship Examination, 36 were successful in passing the examination, and 25 of them received scholarships. Of the 30 competitors for the Board's Senior Scholarship who sat for the Civil Service Junior Examination, 27 were successful in passing the examination, and 25 of them received scholarships. Of those who gained Junior Scholarships, 14 of them were boys and 11 girls ; and of the successful senior candidates, 20 of them were boys and 5 girls. Twelve of the Senior Scholarship winners had previously held Junior Scholarships. The amount expended on scholarships for the year was £1,130 ss. 6d. Physical Exercises. —As in previous years, instruction in physical exercises and drill has been carried on in a satisfactory manner in all the schools in the district. There seems reason, however, to doubt whether the greater number of commodious and well-furnished gymnasiums attached to many of the schools in and around Dunedin were utilised as much as they might have been. If fairly regular practice of the exercises with backboards, horse, bridge-ladder, and parallel-bars as recommended by the Board were carried out, the injurious effects alleged to be produced by the use of non-hygienic desks and seats would, no doubt, be more than counteracted. Conveyance ot? Children to School.—The Department's attitude on this question is beyond the Board's comprehension. It will make no payment for children under seven years of age unless they are accompanied by at least an equal number of children over twelve years of age ; none for any child under ten years of age unless the distance from his home is over four* miles by the nearest road, and none for any child of ten years of age and upwards unless the distance from his home is over four miles by the nearest road. The Board cannot conceive why children between six and seven should be excluded from the benefits of conveyance unless they are accompanied by an equal number over twelve, nor why no payment should be made for children under ten whose home is not more than three miles, and for those of ten and upwards whose home is not more than four miles from the school, nor why the Department should have prescribed distances without regard to the character of the roads over which they are measured. For children of from ten to twelve years of age, two miles an hour is not bad walking over many of our country roads. If they live from three to four miles from school, they are on the tramp from three to four hours a day. This, with the time they work at school, makes for them a working-day of from nine to ten hours —truly a cruel burden of work for children of tender years. In the Board's opinion, the Department has entirely failed to realise the conditions on which the conveyance system can be successfully worked in this part of the colony. As the Board has more than once pointed out, no system of per capita payment for the carriage of children can work satisfactorily, for it ignores the varying conditions as to the configuration of the country, the character of the roads, and the number of children to be conveyed. The sum suffices in cases where the conditions are favourable, but it is altogether inadequate where the roads are bad, and only a small number of children are to be provided for. The inevitable result has been that children in very sparsely populated districts have been deprived of the means of education, foe it has been found impossible to get people to undertake the work of conveyance for the amount made available. The Board again urges that the only satisfactory solution of the problem is to give to Boards sufficient grants to enable them, with their

special knowledge of the circumstances, supplemented by the local knowledge of School Committees, to make the best possible arrangement in each case. Training College.—Under the regulations for the conduct of training colleges, the College controlled by the Board for thirty years has become almost, if not entirely, a Government institution. It is true the regulations set out with the declaration : " The Education Board of any district in which any training college is situated, hereinafter called the ' Board,' shall have the entire control and management of such college, subject to the provisions hereinafter contained " ; but " the provisions hereinafter contained " provide for eve cything that is essential to the control and management, and divest the Board of every shred of real authority. The relation of the Board to the training college is precisely that of a Committee to the school of its district, and the Department is to training colleges what the Education Board of a district is to the schools of that district. That, it seems to the Board, exactly defines the position in which the Boards are placed by the regulations. Realising as it did and does that a single examination is not always an adequate test of a student's acquirements, and, above all, that a teacher's personality is of greater importance than are his literary qualifications, and that personality cannot be tested at all by a written examination, the Board proposed that the teacher's certificate should depend not solely upon a single written examination applied by the Department at the end of the year, but in large part upon the results gained in class and college examinations conducted by the principal and his staff during the currency of the year, and that the judgment of the principal as to the fitness or unfitness of a student for a teacher's certificate should be the chief determining factor in the classification of the students under his charge. Regulations to give effect to this proposal were submitted to the Department ; but neither the one nor the other found favour there. It would, the Board considered, be a great boon to settlers living remote from surgical aid to have among them a person capable of administering first aid in cases of accident, and accordingly recommended that skill in this branch of work should be allowed to count a pass for a teacher's certificate ; but the recommendation was rejected by the Department. Recognising the importance of what is implied in " nature study " and the impossibility of its adequate treatment by teachers who have done little or no field-work, the Board recommended that the following course should be substituted for some of the work at present prescribed for the teacher's certificate : (a.) A course of experimental work in elementary physics and chemistry extending over the winter session, (b.) A summer course of outdoor studies having for its subject-matter the meteorology, physical geography, geology, and plant and animal life of the district. The plant and animal life may be made the chief subject of investigation, but the relation of the others to it must be kept in view ; and, as opportunity offers, the attention of the students should be directed to significant facts irrespective of the branch of nature-knowledge to which they are related. Every outdoor excursion should have a definite purpose, and should be carefully planned beforehand ; and accurate notes should be made by the students of what they observe in the field. The notes made and the objects collected during the outdoor excursions will furnish material for study in the lecture-room. To this, as to the other proposals made by the Board, the Department answered : " It does not seem practicable or indeed desirable at present to alter the requirements for teachers' certificates in the way suggested by the Board." Of the recommendations made by the Board, one was adopted, the recommendation, namely, that the bursary for trainees who have during their training to live away from their homes should be greatly increased. Sixty-two students entered the College at the beginning of the session ; one retired during the year, leaving 61 on the roll at 31st December, 1905. Twenty-nine were in their second year, and 32 were in their first year, as follows : First year, 2 males and 30 females ; second year, 2 males and 27 females. Fifty-three of the students attended classes at the University. Eight students who had not passed matriculation were not required to undertake University work. Finance. —A statement of the Board's income and expenditure for the year is given below. The sum expended in teachers' salaries, including house and lodging allowances, was £61,649 6s. sd. ; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,848 Is. 7d. , the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £7,965 16s. 6d. The receipts for school buildings include grant for maintenance, £8,407 6s. , special grants for new buildings, £2,970 10s. , house allowances to teachers, £431 18s. Id. ; local contributions, £116 15s. 4d. ; deposits on contracts, £148 6s. 6d. ; special grants for technical-school buildings, and furniture, fittings, &c, for same, £895 19s. : total, £12,970 14s. lid. The main items of expenditure on buildings were : General maintenance (repairs, alterations, and small additions), £4,375 18s. ; rebuilding, £119 2s. 7d. ; new buildings, £3,470 15s. lid. ; house allowances, £432 2s. sd. ; for manual and technical purposes, £599 ss. Id. At the end of the year the credit balances were :On Buildings Account, £312 15s. sd. ; on General Account, £6,474 4s. : total, £6,786 19s. sd. Against this credit balance of £6,474 4s. on General Account there were various liabilities on account of primary-reserve rents, technical classes association, training college bursaries, and general purposes amounting in total to £5,123 11s. 4d., leaving the available credit balance £1,350 12s.

SOUTHLAND. Sir,— Education Office, Invercargill, 20th March, 1906. In conformity with the provisions of section 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year ended 31st December, 1905. The Board. —The election of members to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Messrs. Alfred Baldey, George McLeod, and I. W. Raymond was held, as required by the Act, in July. Five nominations were received, and the voting resulted in the election of Messrs. McLeod, Raymond, and Hammond. Mr. Baldey did not seek re-election. At the ordinary meeting of the Board held in September, Mr. W. Macalister was unanimously appointed Chairman for the ensuing year. During the year Messrs. W. Macalister and J. C. Thomson continued their membership of the Southland High Schools Board, and Mr. Thomas Mac Gibbon was re-elected as the Board's representative on the Trust of the School Commissioners of Otago. After a continuous membership from the constitution of the Board in 1878 —a period of over twenty-seven years —the Hon. Alfred Baldey, owing to his change of residence from Southland to Wellington, retired from his position. Mr. Baldey during his tenure of office proved himself a most useful and attentive member. Towards the close of the year the Board and the Education District of Southland sustained a severe loss by the death of Mr. George McLeod, one of the recently re-elected members. As required by the provisions of sections 15 (2) and 37 of " The Education Act, 1904," steps were taken to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. McLeod's death, and resulted in the election of Mr. Andrew Bain, who will hold office till the ordinary election in July. During the year the Board held fourteen meetings—twelve ordinary and two special —and the Executive Committee met twenty-two times. The attendance of members was quite satisfactory. The change in the method of the election of members of Boards as proposed in " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," does not favourably impress the Board. In the opinion of this Board the proposed innovation of the division of the district into wards, with the election of members to specially represent different sections of the district, does not seem to be called for, neither does the Board consider that the interests of education as a whole demand any alteration in the system previously in operation. The experience of the Board shows that members under the old conditions knew no distinctions as to town or country, east or west, but looked on themselves as representing the district as a whole, and acted accordingly.

Schools and Attendance. —At the close of the previous year there were 160 schools in operation. This'number was added to by the establishment of new schools in the districts of Burkes Hill, Waikawa Valley 11, Lynwood, and Maori Pomt —the three last mentioned being household schools. The small schools at Waituna and Glenham II (household) were closed. There were thus, on the 31st December last, 163 schools under the jurisdiction of the Board. In the matter of attendance there is but little out of the usual to report. The average weekly rollnumber for the year was 9,705, and the average attendance 8,447, an increase of 100 and 158 respectively over the numbers reported as in attendance for the preceding year. The percentage of average attendance to the weekly roll-number is now 87"3. The figures in each case constitute a record for this education district. Teachers and Teachers' Salaries.—ln this district there were, at the close of the period to which this report has reference, 281 teachers in the service of the Board. Of these 120 were males and 161 females. As in past years the Board has experienced an increasing difficulty in securing the services of certificated teachers for the smaller schools. This fact seems to be only in part accounted for by the effect of recent legislation. One would have supposed that since the passing of the Act of 1901, the extra demand then created by the more liberal staffing of the public schools of the colony would ere this have been met; but, notwithstanding the more liberal scale of payment introduced, the supply, so far as Southland is concerned, of duly qualified applicants for vacancies does not meet the demand. The consequence is that many appointments of uncertificated teachers to schools where the salary is considerably above the limit of a living wage have been made. If these new entrants into the profession were invariably possessed, in some degree, of practical experience in the work of teaching, the result of such appointments need cause no alarm ; but in many cases the Board is compelled to accept the services of young people, fairly well fitted it may be so far as character and scholastic attainments are concerned, but lacking the great essential of practical skill in the work to which they have put their hand. Of course, many such appointments have given great satisfaction to both Board and Committees; but it is hoped that no effort will be spared, by the establishment of fully equipped training-schools, to meet more adequately the demand which undoubtedly exists. The inducements provided by (1) the nsw schedule of salaries in " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," and by (2) the passing into law of " The Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1905," should be sufficient to attract the attention of capable men and women to a service which has, in many ways, much to commend it. Though the Superannuation Act is not in all respects as liberal a measure as might be wished for, still it makes some provision for the retirement of aged teachers and others who come within the scope of its operations. Pupil-teachers.—New regulations, on lines suggested by the Education Department, were brought into operation during the year. Under these regulations the examination of pupil-teachers was taken over by the Department, and was held in the month of December last. As a result of this examination most of the candidates were promoted to a higher grade, some attained partial success, and one only failed to satisfy the requirements of the examiners. It may be noted that in place of four there are now only two examinations —the first for all pupil-teachers of the second and third years of their apprenticeship, the test for which is the Civil Service Junior Examination; the second examination is for all pupil-teachers of the fourth and fifth years, the test for which is the Matriculation Examination of the University of New Zealand, or the teachers' examination for Class D. Of course, there is provision for recognition of the attainments of those who, previous to entering the service, have passed either or both of the examinations referred to. Failure to pass the examination does not now necessarily involve non-promotion in respect of salary, but the regulations do provide that the engagement of those who twice fail to pass either of the prescribed examinations shall be summarily determined. This provision is considered a sufficient incentive to effort on the part of those desirous of making the profession of teaching their life work. The increase in the salaries of pupil-teachers, for which provision is made in the Act of 1905, and more especially the substantial advance made in the lodging-allowances to those resident away from home, should render this department of the service more attractive to our young people of both sexes, and so ultimately increase the supply of adult teachers. Scholarships.—ln the month of August last the Board adopted a new set of regulations, under which the scholarships, junior and senior, are awarded on the results of the National Scholarships and the Civil Service Junior Examinations respectively. The acceptance by the Board of these examinations, as the basis on which scholarships are allocated results in a very considerable saving, both in the Inspectors' time and in the actual expenditure. The first examination under the altered conditions was held in December, and with perfectly satisfactory results. The value of the scholarships (junior and senior) under the new regulations is £30 per annum for non-resident, and £5 per annum for resident candidates respectively. There is now no deduction from the gross value of the scholarship, as under the free place regulations no fees are now payable in respect of scholarship holders. This relief from payment of fees enables the Board, out of the funds available, to award a greater number of scholarships than has hitherto been possible. The amount disbursed during the year in respect of Board's scholarships was £602 9s. 4d., while for National Scholarships a sum of £161 17s. 7d. was received and paid. District High Schools. —" The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," makes provision for a fixed payment of salaries to special assistants, with bonus addition to the salary of the headmaster of district high schools. This is a much more equitable arrangement than was formerly possible, when payments to the teachers depended almost wholly on the average attendance of secondary pupils. The result of the working of the past system in this district was not quite satisfactory. In two of the three district high schools the revenue from the capitation on average attendance was inadequate to provide for payment of reasonable salaries to specially qualified assistants, while in the other (Gore) the capitation earned was ample to provide for the efficient staffing of the secondary department, with something to spare for payment of bonuses at the end of the year to all who participated in the work of actual instruction. It may be noted, also, that the old regulations governing district high schools contained

c.—i.

no provision whereby the surplus from the working of one school might be applied to make up the deficiency arising in any other school, the net result to this Board being that in one of its district high schools, owing largely to a difficulty of properly adjusting the staff to meet the requirements of the school in its primary and secondary departments, a loss averaging £43 per annum has been entailed. Physical Training.—ln compliance with the provisions of section 137 of " The Education Act, 1904," the Board has to report that the subject of physical training has received due attention in nearly all the schools in the district during the year. The services of Instructor J. V. Hanna have been retained on the same terms and conditions as during the preceding year. Instruction of Teachers. —The special grant of £150 made by the Department for the instruction of teachers was profitably spent. Two courses of -lectures in botany and nature study were delivered on consecutive Saturdays, at Invercargill and Gore respectively, by Mr. George M. Thomson, F.L.S., F.1.C., of Dunedin. At these classes there was a very large attendance of teachers and pupil-teachers from all parts of the district accessible by railway. The lectures were most interesting and profitable, were much appreciated by the students, and will doubtless result in more effective treatment of these subjects in the various schools of the district. Classes in the subject of drawing—model and blackboard —under the charge of the late Mr. J. J. McLean, were also established, and carried on during the winter months, and much effective work was done. Manual and Technical. —The report of the Board's Director of Technical Instruction affords ample testimony to the success achieved by classes carried on during the year, and gives detailed information respecting the number of students in attendance, and other aspects of this department of the Board's operations. The completion of the new Technical School buildings, for which a special grant has been made by the Department, has now been undertaken, and this work, when completed, will greatly facilitate the prosecution of this branch of education. A contract, at £2,850, for the erection of the building was entered into in August last, and the work is now (March) approaching completion. " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905."—1t would be premature to express any decided opinion as to the probable results of the altered conditions in the system of making appointments of teachers. Experience alone will justify or otherwise the new departure. The Board is in entire sympathy with section 11 of the Act, in which provision is made whereby the salaries of teachers shall not, under normal conditions, be reduced. The new and more liberal scale of teachers' salaries meets with the Board's unqualified approval. Section 15 of the Act, making definite and fairly liberal provision for the payment of special assistants (and headmasters) of district high schools, meets with the Board's hearty approval. The provision, however, for staffing the primary department of the district high schools on the attendance of pupils in this department alone is, in the opinion of the Board, a retrograde step. When it is considered that a portion of the headmaster's time may be devoted to secondary instruction, and a further and no inconsiderable portion to the work of supervision and examination of these classes, it is reasonable to assume that this can only be done at the expense of the pupils in the primary department, unless the staff in such department is (as the salaries are) based upon the combined average of primary and secondary pupils. By the operation of this new principle two of our district high schools lose an extra assistant—a loss which, in the case of the weaker of the two, is well nigh irreparable. Buildings.—The Board notes with satisfaction the relaxation of the conditions under which the annual grant for buildings may be expended. The parliamentary grant for the general maintenance of school buildings amounted to £2,152, one-half the vote being paid at the close of 1904. In addition, special grants of £200 and £229 7s. 6d. were received for the erection of an addition to the school at. Drummond and the reinstatement of the school at Tokonui, unfortunately destroyed by fire during the year. The expenditure on general maintenance amounted to £2,572 7s. Bd., in addition to which a sum of £1,340 14s. was spent in the erection of new schools, additions, furniture, &c. A considerable proportion of the latter sum was due by the Department as special grants promised for various works recently erected or in process of completion. Finance. —The year opened with a credit balance of £4,002 6s. Bd., and at its close the accounts stood in credit £3,254 10s. 4d. Of the latter sum £1,177 ss. lid. belonged to the General Account, and £2,077 4s. sd. to the Building Account. From these balances there has, of course, to be deducted the amounts shown in the statement of assets and liabilities as due on the several accounts. The decrease in the amount to credit at the end as compared with the commencement of the year is more apparent than real, owing to the fact that one-half of the annual building grant (usually received at the beginning of the year) was paid into the Board's account in December of the preceding year, and this practice was not continued at the close of 1905. The general statement of receipts and expenditure shows a gross income (exclusive of balances) amounting to £43,882 18s. Bd., and an expenditure of £44,630 155., leaving an apparent deficit on the year's operations of £747 16s. 4d. The Board has again occasion to regret that a form of balance-sheet acceptable alike to the Education and Audit Departments has not yet been approved and issued. It is hoped that the anomaly at present existing, whereby the statements of accounts supplied to the Education and Audit Departments respectively are separate and distinct, the one certified as correct, the other, though containing the same figures, uncertified, may be removed ere another balance period comes round. In conclusion, the Board is pleased to report that generally the progress of education in its district during the past year has been in most respects eminently satisfactory, that the Board's relations with the School Committees and teachers, as a whole, have been harmonious, and that the year has closed with a credit balance substantial enough to meet all reasonable demands. I have, &c, W. Macalisteb, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

The sales of leases for the year resulted in twelve lessees taking up an area of 2,918 acres and 16 perches, at an annual rental of £408 7s. 2d., which brings the total number of lessees now on the books up to 476, holding an area of 97,634 acres and 30 perches, and paying an annual rental of £6,461 11s. 10d. The Commissioners have had occasion in past reports to draw attention to the disability under which they laboured in being prevented from subdividing certain valuable endowments under their control, owing to their being barred by law from expending any portion of the funds administered by them upon the construction of the subdivisional roads required by the Public Works Acts. They note with satisfaction that by " The Education Reserves Act, 1905," the necessary power has now been conferred on them, and that they will therefore in future be able to deal to better advantage, in the interests of their trust, with many of the reserves aa the present leases fall in. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. R. Blair, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 4th May, 1906. I have the honour to forward herewith statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year ended 31st December, 1905, duly audited, and to report as follows : — Two auction sales of leases were held during the year, when forty town sections, three suburban sections, and three rural sections were offered. Sixteen town sections, two suburban sections, and all the rural sections were sold, and realised an aggregate annual rental of £9 7s. 6d., £7, and £664 7s. 6d. respectively. Nine of the town sections and two of the suburban sections had been previously let at small rentals. One of the rural sections (let at £15 per annum) was previously subject to heavy expenditure for keeping down rabbits. Of ths other two rural sections, one was let at £9 7s. 6d., and the other at £640. The latter had been previously leased at £202. The sum of £200 was obtained for timber on one of the rural sections. The payments made to the Education Board during the year were larger than usual, owing to a balance in hand from previous year derived from, sales of timber. I have, &c, Eric C. Gold Smith, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sir, — Education Reserves Office, Dunedin, 26tli May, 1906. In accoi'dance with Order in Council of the 15th December, 187S, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners of Otago for the year ended the 31st December, 1905. During the year the Commissioners leased fifty-four reserves for agricultural purposes, two for pastoral purposes, and thirty-four township sections. The area of the agricultural land was 9,992 acres, leased to fifty-four tenants at £999 16s. 5d.. or an average of a fraction over 2s. per acre ; the area of the pastoral land was 860 acres, leased to two tenants at £19 19s. Bd., or about s|d. per acre ; and the area of the town sections 14 acres 1 rood 10 perches, leased to thirty-one tenants at £102 18s. per annum. The Commissioners' rent roll now contains 928 tenants. The total area of the land vested in the School Commissioners of Otago is 390,503 acres, and the present annual rent is £13,890 2s. 9d. The sum of £40,761 ss. Id. is invested on mortgage over freehold securities, bringing in £1,910 13s. interest per annum, or £4 13s. 8 T 9 ¥ d. per cent. In addition there is a sum of £1,800 in the Bank of New Zealand on fixed deposit. During the year the sum of £2,000 was advanced on mortgage, and £788 7s. was received on account of repayment of loan. £373 6s. 9d. was expended on the purchase of land in the Greenfield Estate, which area has been added to the endowments. Of the sum of £3,099 15s. 4d. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as rent in arrear on the 31st December last (the most of which bscame due on the Ist November previous), the sum of £1,203 12s. 6d. has since been collected. Of the sum of £1,925 os. 9d. shown in the statement of accounts as expenses of management, the sum of £265 14s. 4d. was expended on the permanent improvement of endowments in the shape of drain-tiles, ditching, and river-protective works. £95 3s. 6d. was paid to the Government for train fares, stamps, &c, and £135 14s. 6d. was expended on the preparation of plans, field-books, &c, which will not be a recurring item.

The appointment of a Ranger, with a practical knowledge oi farming, who makes regular inspections of all the holdings under the Commissioners' management, and reports periodically on the same, has been attended with good results, and has been found to he absolutely necessary to- the efficient supervision of the large estate under the Commissioners' control. The School Commissioners take this opportunity of drawing attention to the necessity for legislation empowering them to sell or exchange township sections and isolated reserves which are unlettable and unproductive of revenue. There are two classes of land coming under the above category from which the Commissioners are unable to obtain any revenue, and upon which they are forced to expend money without any return. The one class comprises township sections (notably in the Township of Lumsden), for which it is impossible to find tenants owing to the sections being scattered and requiring to be cleared of noxious weeds and rabbits, and also drained. The other class comprises small, rough, isolated reserves of about 40 or 50 acres, surrounded by pastoral land, and too small for occupation by themselves. These sections are all of small value. The School Commissioners of Otago are unanimous in their opposition to the sale of a single acre of their endowments except in cases whore a tenant cannot be obtained, and they are agreeable that any safeguards which you think fit should be made. They suggest that the proceeds of any land sold should he expended in the purchase of other freehold lands as soon as convenient, and also that the consent of the Hon. the Minister of Education must be obtained to each case of sale or exchange. Annexed hereto is a copy of the balance-sheet and statement of income and expenditure for the year ended 31st December, 1905, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General. I have, &c, Wμ. Dallas, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.
