Office of the Department of Education, Wellington, 19th August, 1907. My Lobd,— 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, 1906. I have, &c, Geo. Fowlds. His Excellency the Right Hon. Baton Plunket, Governor of New Zealand.

REPORT.

In this Report and its proper Appendix, in the Inspector-General's Report (E.-1a) on the certificate and other examinations, the Reports of the Inspectors of Schools (E.-1b), the Reports on the Training of Teachers (E.-lc), the Report on the Publicschool Cadets (E.-1d), and the Report of the Conference of Inspectors of Schools and Principals of Training Colleges (E.-1e), 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; E.-14, Teachers' Superannuation.

Public Schools. The number of schools open at the end of 1906, counting 94 part-time schools as 47, was 1,847, or 41 more than at the end of 1905. In Table A the schools are classified, as for 1905, according to the yearly average attendance. The classification is in accordance with the grades in Part I of the schedule to " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905."

E.—l.

The number of small schools with an average attendance not exceeding twenty shows a further increase of 22 for 1906 ; the number, which was 562 for 1905, was 584 for 1906. The number of pupils attending these schools has increased by 282 —namely, from 7,062 to 7,344. During the year 1906, 70 schools were closed—viz., in Auckland, 13 ; Taranaki, 1 ; Wanganui, 8 ; Wellington, 5 ; Hawke's Bay, 4 ; Marlborough, 9 ; Nelson, 11 ; Grey, 3 ; Westland, 1 ; North Canterbury, 5 ; South Canterbury, 1 ; Otago, 2 ; Southland, 7. 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 fulltime schools. Including such reopened schools, the total number opened during the year was 111, distributed as follows : Auckland, 31 ; Taranaki, 5 ; Wanganui, 9 ; Wellington, 2 ; Hawke's Bay, 12 ; Marlborough, 16; Nelson, 7 ; Grey, 1 ; Westland, 1 ; North Canterbury, 3 ; South Canterbury, 3 ; Otago, 10 ; Southland, 11. The net increase in the number of schools opened at the end of the year is thus 41, as shown in Table Al.

TABLE A.—Number of Schools, December, 1906.

School Attendance. The total average attendance for the year was 121,958. In 1903 the attendance fell below the number for the preceding year, but it has since shown a yearly increase. In 1904 the increase was 3,459, in 1905 it was 3,759, and last year it was 1,693. Table Bl shows the average attendance for the year in each of the education districts, and also the regularity of attendance of the pupils.

TABLE B1.—School Attendance for 1906.

In the average of the weekly roll-numbers there is an increase of 1,849 for the year. The figures for 1905 were 138,471, and 140,320 for 1906. At the end of the year the number on the roll was 139,302, as against 137,623 for the previous year, an increase of 1,679. The high standard of regularity of attendance of last year, 86*9, was maintained in 1906. In the first quarter the average daily attendance was 86*9 per cent, of the average weekly roll-number, in the second quarter 871 per cent., in the third quarter 87 - 4 per cent., and in the fourth 864 per cent. Otago, which ever since 1901 has stood at the head of the list, took second place, having to give way to Westland, which district shows a percentage of 88*8. South Canterbury, with a percentage of 88-2, and Wellington with 87 "5, hold third and fourth places. As a whole the South Island shows a greater degree of regularity of attendance than the North, the respective rates being 87*1 per cent, and 86 - 7 per cent, of the average weekly roll. In 1905 the figures were 875 per cent, and 86"4 per cent, respectively. The increase in total average attendance for the year 1906 was 1,693. In the North Island the increase was 1,916; but there was a decrease in the South Island of 223. The figures are given in the following table : —

Under certain contingencies, brought about by an exceptional fall in the attendance at an individual school for any one quarter, there is provision in the regulations for the substitution of the average of a favourable quarter of the preceding year. This, together with some other matters of detail, makes the total attendance here shown greater by 1,220 than the total given in Table B. 1. The latter—l2l,9sB —is the number to be taken for statistical purposes.

TABLE B3.—Average Attendance for the Year 1906 at the Schools as grouped in Table A, as estimated for the Computation of Teachers' Salaries.

The two following tables show respectively the number of children of Maori and mixed race attending public schools, and the number of European children attending Native schools. Of the latter the number might be larger but for an omission in the Act to make compulsion operative in such cases.

TABLE B5.—European Children attending Native Schools, December, 1906.

Age and Sex of Pupils. Table C shows the age and sex of the pupils on the rolls? of the public schools of the colony at the end of 1906, and the percentage of the roll for each age. The percentage has remained fairly constant in the case of children from six years and over ; it is slowly increasing in the case of pupils from five to six years of age.

TABLE C.—Age and Sex of Pupils, December, 1906.

The proportion of boys to girls remains about the same as for the previous five years, 52-19 per cent, as compared with 4781 per cent. For every 100 boys on the roll there were 92 girls. 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. Inspection and Examination. Table Dl is a nummary for the whole colony of Table No. 3 in the Appendix, which shows the numbers in the several classes for the various districts. The proportion of pupils in the preparatory classes, which has for years past been showing a gradual increase, shows a still further increase for the year from 28*28 to 29 "36.

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 indicated that this tendency had received a check. The figures for 1906 confirm this view. In the proportion of children enrolled in preparatory classes, a further increase of I*oB per cent, is shown over the figures for 1905, but the returns record a much larger increase in the totals under seven years of age, in which an advance from 25,312 to 26,320 is to be noted, an increase of 387 per cent. Table D 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. From this it will be seen that 9,929 pupils were present at the annual examination in Standard VI, of which number 5,507, or 55-46 per cent., gained a certificate of proficiency, and 2,680, or 26-99 per cent., gained a certificate of competency; a total of 8,187, or 82-45 per cent., gaining either the proficiency or competency certificate. For 1905 the respective percentages were 66-54, 17-85, and 84-31. The fall of 11 per cent, in the certificates of proficiency awarded is chiefly due to the stricter test imposed for that certificate, and this view is borne out by the fact that there is a difference of only 1-86 in the number of certificates awarded at both examinations last year ag compared with 1905.

TABLE D2. —Examination Statistics for 1906.

Table D 3 shows the average ages of the children in the several standards at the time of the Inspector's annual visit, also the mean 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 Grey 12 years and 3 months, and in Westland 13 years and 2 months, these being the lowest and highest respectively. For the colony the average age of the children in this standard in 1906 was 12 years and 11 months, about the same as that for the previous year.

E.-l.

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 three preceding years. In range, the ages returned by the several districts differ by 7 months, the lowest age being found in Westland, 13 years 5 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 information deduced from Table D2—that 82*45 per cent. (84-31 in 1905) received one or other class of certificate—serves to show that the pupils failing to obtain such a certificate before attaining the age of fourteen years must be comparatively small. In Table D 4 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.

TABLE D4.—Number of Pupils instructed in Separate Subjects, December, 1906.

In English and arithmetic the numbers 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. A large increase is again shown in the addition to the number reported as receiving instruction in handwork of various forms ; the total number receiving instruction under this heading has now reached 70-68 per cent, of the total roll-number. The percentages of the numbers receiving instruction in nature-study and physical instruction were 86-74 and 97-17 respectively of the total roll-number. On the other hand, further reductions are found in geography, history, and in nature-study and elementary science. The fall in the number taking nature-study must not be taken as implying that this important department is receiving less attention than formerly. There is an increasing number of schools at which elementary agriculture, dairy-work, and cognate subjects are being taken. Pupils attending such classes would not be returned as taking a general course of nature-study, but as taking some branch of handwork providing a definite course of nature-study. Public-school Teachebs. In December, 1906, there were employed on the primary staffs in the public schools of the colony 3,872 teachers, of whom 3,201 were adults and 671 pupil-teachers : the corresponding numbers for December, 1905, were 3,137

adults and 679 pupil-teachers. Of the adult teachers at the end of 1906, 1,314 were men and 1,887 women ; of the pupil-teachers, 153 were male and 518 female. The number of adult male teachers was 12 more, and of adult female teachers 52 more than in December, 1905. The number of male pupil-teachers increased by 2 ; but the number of female pupil-teachers decreased by 10. Taking the schools at which there was only one teacher (Grades 0-3 for 1905, and 0-4 for 1906), the average number of children per teacher was 20 for 1906, as compared with 21 for 1905. For all the schools above those grades at which there were more than one teacher, the average was 37 for 1906, as compared with 36 for 1905. Including all the schools, the average number of children to one teacher (including pupil-teachers) was 31-5 for 1906, the same as for 1905. The average number, reckoning two pupil-teachers as one adult, was 34-5 in 1906, as compared with 34-6 in 1905.

TABLE E1.—-School Staff, December, 1906.

The ratio of male to female teachers (adults) for 1906 was 100 to 144. In 1905 the number of female teachers increased by 38 and the number of males by 30; the corresponding numbers for 1906 were 52 and 12 respectively. The discrepancy in the latter is largely accounted for in the small schools with one teacher only. The figures given in the table show that for 1905 there was an increase of 11 females, but a decrease of 2 males ; for 1906 there was an increase of 34 females and 2 males. The proportion of male pupil-teachers to female pupil-teachers, which rose from the ratio of 1 to 4-22 in 1902, fell to 1 to 3-76 in 1903, to 1 to 3-51 in 1904, to 1 to 3-50 in 1905, and to Ito 3-39 in 1906. In other words, the number of male pupilteachers has remained fairly constant (143 in 1902, as compared with 153 in 1906), while that of female pupil-teachers has decreased from 604 in 1902 to 518 in 1906. The total of all salaries and allowances at the rates paid at the end of the year was £487,344. This includes the salaries and lodging-allowances of pupil-teachers, as well as all salaries and house-allowances paid to adult teachers ; the average rate per teacher, including pupil-teachers, was, therefore, £125 17s. 3d. 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, 1906, £184 13s. Id., as compared with £174 14s. 9d. in 1905 ; average salary per woman teacher, £107 2s. Id., as against £96 6s. lid. ; average salary for all adults, £139 2s. 2d., as against £128 17s. sd. per teacher. In addition to the teachers shown in Table El, several Boards employed re-lieving-teachers, whose numbers and rates of salary are given 1 in the Appendix. Table E2 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, while the total number of teachers has risen from 3,153 to 3,207, an increase of 54, the uncertificated teachers have risen from 680 to 789, an increase of 109. 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 jteachers 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 three years decreased from 2,482 to 2,418, the number of uncertificated teachers has increased from 546 to 789. The latter are, of course, chiefly 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 a diminution in 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 to take the places previously filled by pupil-teachers, it was unavoidable that a certain number of uncertificated teachers should for a time be appointed to fill the vacancies. Unfortunately, this shortage still exists; but, as all four training colleges are now at work, it is hoped that there will soon be sufficient qualified teachers to gradually take the places of the uncertificated ones.

TABLE E2.—Teachers, Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1906.

Tbaining op Teachebs. ' ■' '■ V' In the beginning of 1906 the training colleges at Auckland and Wellington were opened, and, with the two training colleges which had been for many years in operation, but which had been recently reorganized under more liberal conditions, adequate provision has been made for the training of teachers in each of the four University centres. Practically no change was needed in the buildings at Christchurch. Wellington was altered and added to at a cost of £5,419. Auckland has been to some extent remodelled, and a further sum of £8,000 has been authorised to be spent to fit it still further for training-college purposes, and a similar sum has been authorised to be spent in erecting a training college for Dunedin to replace the old and unsuitable structure at present in use. When the buildings at Auckland and Dunedin are completed the provision for the training of teachers in the colony will be put on a highly satisfactory basis as far as buildings and equipment are concerned. The number of students during the current year attending the various training colleges is as follows : Auckland, 19 women, 17 men, total 36 ; Wellington, 61 women, 16 men, total 77 ; Christchurch, 54 women, 15 men, total 69 ; Dunedin, 61 women, 18 men, total 79. The total for the whole is 195 women and 66 men, as compared

with 174 women and 47 men for the corresponding period of last year. It is gratifying, in view of the dearth of male teachers in the colony, to notice that the proportion of male teachers to women teachers has risen from 27 to 34 per cent. The amount paid during 1906 for the training of teachers was £33,747, made up as follows : Salaries of staffs of four training colleges, £11,006 ; students' allowances and University fees, £11,032; grants for special instruction in handwork, £2,415; railway fares of teachers in training, £4,307; alterations to buildings, Wellington, £4,787 ; apparatus, furniture, &c, Auckland, £200. It must be remembered, however, that £22,038 of this total provides not only for the efficient training of over two hundred teachers, but the instruction of over sixteen hundred children in attendance at the practising schools. The reports of the several training colleges are printed in a separate paper, E.-lc School Buildings. The vote for maintenance of school buildings, which 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 £1,366,250 (£1,229,100 for wooden buildings and £137,150 for those of brick or stone). (b.) The grants to Boards included an allowance for maintenance of wooden buildings—schools and residences—at the rate of 3 per cent, of the cost of construction ; for maintenance of brick or stone buildings, 2 per cent. ; for replacing wornout wooden school 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 ; no allowance was made for the replacement of worn-out residences. It is thus shown 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 three 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 vote for maintenance of school buildings was as follows : For maintenance and replacement —Auckland, £11,990 ; Taranaki, £2,055 ; Wanganui, £4,338 ; Wellington, £4,893 ; Hawke's Bay, £3,280 ; Marlborough, £848 ; Nelson, £2,978 ; Grey, £962 ; Westland, £1,022 ; North Canterbury, £8,216 ; South Canterbury, £2,556; Otago, £9,087 ; Southland, £4,459 : total, £56,684. For rents : Auckland, £233 6s. lOd. ; Taranaki, £12; Wanganui, £26 ss. ; Wellington, £370 16s. 6d. ; Hawke's Bay, £88 3s. 4d. ; Nelson, £25 Is. ; Otago, £13 6s. ; Southland, £15 9s. sd. : total, £784 Bs. Id. For the purpose of replacing schools or school property damaged or destroyed by fire, £500 was paid to Auckland, £308 10s. to Taranaki, £610 18s. to Wanganui, £6,426 Is. 6d. to Wellington, £5,116 ss. to Hawke's Bay, £241 os. 6d. to Nelson, £867 2s. 6d. to North Canterbury, £517 ss. to Otago; total, £14,587 2s. 6d. 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 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, £7,746 os. 2d. ; Taranaki, £848 Bs. 6d. ; Wanganui, £2,456 3s. sd. ; Wellington, £2,864 ; Hawke's Bay, £598 ; Nelson, £393 ss. 7d. ;

Finances of Education Boards. Table Fl is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of Education Boards for the year 1906. These are tabulated in detail on pages 6 and 7of 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 Fl with those for the previous year, we find that the expenditure on teachers' salaries was £472,255 7s. lid., as against £426,343 19s. 6d. for 1905. Of this increase—nearly £46,000—part was due to the usual increase in the number of schools and in the average attendance ; but a very large proportion of the increase was caused by. the operation of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905 " (which came into force on the Ist January, 1906), which provided a general increase to the salaries of teachers, including pupil-teachers, and the same rate of salary for female teachers as for males. There has also been considerable increase in expenditure for secondary education at district high schools and for scholarships ; for training of teachers, due to the reorganization of the four training colleges under more liberal conditions ; for manual and technical instruction, due to the increase in the number of classes and in the attendance; and for school buildings, owing to increase of new settlements and additions required at existing schools. The percentage of the several Boards' income expended on administration (including in this term all the items which are included under that heading in Table Fl —viz., salaries of office staffs, Inspectors, Truant Officers, &c, and the ordinary office contingencies—but excluding the incidental expenses of schools) was as follows : North Canterbury, 3-4 (4-1) ; Auckland, 3-9 (4*3); Wellington, 4-0 (5*0); Wanganui, 4-1 (5-4) ; Hawke's Bay, 4-2 (4-2) ; Otago, 4-2 (4-9); Southland, 4-4 (5-7) ; South Canterbury, 4-8 (6-0) ; Taranaki, 5-4 (6-3) ; Nelson, 6-2 (6-2) ; Marlborough, 6-3 (7-7) ; Grey, 6-9 (8-3) ; Westland, 7-9 (10-3).

and that the deficits have decreased by £538 (from £687 to £149), making a total improvement of £7,590 on the year's transactions.

TABLE F2.—General Account: Assets and Liabilities of Boards on 31st December, 1906.

The Buildings Account contains the moneys granted for the general maintenance and upkeep (including replacement) of the school buildings as described in the preceding section of this report, and also the funds provided specially for the erection of new schools and the enlargment of existing schools when necessary to accommodate increased attendance. Table F3 is a summary of the assets and liabilities on the Buildings Account. It shows that the balances have increased by £28,421. The large increase in Auckland is mainly due to the receipt of a donation of £10,000 from the Trustees of the Auckland Savings-bank in aid of the fund for building a technical college. The Government subsidy on this donation is included in the Board's assets.

TABLE F3. —Buildings Account: Assets and Liabilities of Boards on 31st December, 1906.

The establishment of a special fund for the maintenance of school buildings was effected in 1904. On the 17th February, 1904, the following circular was issued to the Boards : — "The ordinary grants for school buildings have been distributed in accordance with column 10 of the table accompanying the report of the Education Committee of the House of Representatives, 1903. In future it is the intention of the Government to follow the recommendation of the Education Committee in regard to the distribution of the building votes, and I have further to ask that the moneys thus distributed shall be expended in strict accordance with the recommendations of the Committee, and with the appropriation of Parliament. Accordingly, the purposes for which this grant (the ' ordinary grant') is available are as follows : —

" Maintenance, renewal, and rebuilding of school buildings (including apparatus, fencing, furniture, &c.); " Maintenance of school residences ; " Rent of buildings used for school purposes." In January, 1905, another circular was issued in the same terms; but, following upon the report of the Education Committee dated the 2nd November, 1904, it contained the following additional statement of the objects on which the grant could be expended : — " Small Alterations and Additions : The total amount expended for all schools in the district under this head in any calendar year not to exceed 7 per cent, of the ordinary grant for school buildings, and the additional floor-space provided in any one school or residence out of the same vote in any calendar year not to exceed 400 square feet." In February, 1906, the circular took the following form :— " The ordinary grants for school buildings are distributed out of an item which is thus described in the vote for school buildings, Consolidated Fund : ' Grants to Education Boards for general maintenance of school buildings, rebuilding, furniture, fittings, sites, fencing, rents, &c.' " The amount allotted to your education district for the current year is £ " This grant is made to the Board primarily for the following purposes :— " (a.) To provide for maintenance and repairs of school buildings, furniture, fittings, &c. " (b.) To meet the cost of rebuilding worn-out schools, and of replacing worn-out furniture, fittings, fencing, &c. " The Board, after having made due provision for the requirements named above, may, at its discretion, devote the whole or part of the balance of the grant to additions to buildings, or, if need be, to new school buildings." This circular was objected to by the Audit Department on the ground that the terms of the vote did not allow of the expenditure of any part of the fund upon new buildings, and, the contention appearing to be well founded, the Boards were, in February, 1907, directed to cancel the last paragraph. It has appeared desirable to examine into the condition of the Maintenance Fund so far as it can be ascertained from the various returns rendered by the Boards to the Department. One of these returns purports to give the result of the year's transactions on the various special accounts, and from this the following summary of the assets and liabilities of the Maintenance Fund has been compiled.

According to this statement, the Boards should have had on the Maintenance Account, at the end of 1906, a cash balance of £70,864. Of course no such fund is in existence. The total cash in hand on all accounts was only £59,075, while on the joint Buildings Account it was £32,096, or, deducting the special donation of £10,000 mentioned above, £22,096. Time has not permitted a fuller investigation of this matter, but it is evident that the restrictions with which it was intended to invest the funds granted for this special purpose have not been effective. MILITAEY AND PHYSICAL DBILL : PUBLIC SCHOOL CADETS. 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 135,363. The term " drill " here must be taken to include physical and disciplinary exercises. There were on the 31st March, 1907, 280 cadet corps, with a strength of 14,848 members, equipped with the " model rifles " (dummies) which have been imported by the Department for purposes of drill, and with a percentage of miniature MartiniHenry rifles for target practice. The number of cadet companies in the several districts was as follows : Auckland, 57 ; Taranaki, 10 ; Wanganui, 28 ; Wellington, 35 ; Hawke's Bay, 33 ; Marlborough, 5 ; Nelson, 15 ; Grey, 8 ; Westland, 3 ; North Canterbury, 17 ; South Canterbury, 9 ; Otago, 39 ; Southland, 8 ; Chatham Islands, 1 ; sections attached to corps, 12 : total, 280. The number of battalions formed was 30. The number of model rifles on issue to the cadet corps at the end of the year was 14,000, and of miniature rifles 1,000. 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 Terrace (Wellington) Cadet Company with a score of 730 out of a possible 840 ; the South Island shield was won by the Port Chalmers Company with a score of 747. For the valuable prizes presented by the Colonial Ammunition Company and the Weekly Press Company there has not been the competition that was expected. The two cups given by the Colonial Ammunition Company for competition in the South Island have been awarded to the Kaikorai and Waimate Cadet Corps respectively, upon scores of 79 out of a possible 84, made by Cadets Charles Sountagg and Sydney Hurst. The two cups for the North Island have not been awarded. The Weekly Press challenge shield for the South Island was awarded to the Waimate District Hight School Cadet Corps in competition with ten other corps. The North Island shield has not been awarded. By private benefaction for the encouragement of rifle practice, the Wairoa and Frasertown (Hawke's Bay) cadets, the Johnsonville (Wellington) cadets, the cadets of the Marlborough Education District, and those of the Otago No. 3 Battalion have obtained valuable prizes for local competition.

An illustrated manual of physical exercises for general use in schools is now in the printer's hands. The report of the officer commanding public-school cadets is printed in a separate paper (8.-1 d). Conveyance of School-childben. In 1906 £10,083 2s. 6d., made up as follows, was paid for conveyance of schoolchildren—viz., railway fares of pupils attending public schools, £2,691 ; of pupils attending private schools, £1,005 10s. ; of holders of free places attending district high schools, £1,858 14s. ; of holders of free places attending secondary schools, £2,125 ; and of holders of free places attending technical schools, £1,632 10s.; grants for conveyance of children by road and water—to Auckland Education Board, £26 ; Taranaki Board, £9 18s.; Wanganui Board, £69 125.; Wellington Board, £22 16s. 6d.; Hawke's Bay Board, £12 12s. 6d. ; Nelson Board, £43 4s. 6d. ; North Canterbury Board, £21 Bs. ; South Canterbury Board, £181 13s. 6d. ; Otago Board, £229 17s. 6d."; and Southland Board, £153 6s. Civil Sebvice Examinations. The Civil Service Examinations were, as usual, conducted by the Education Department—the Junior Examination in December, 1906, and the Senior Examination simultaneously with the examinations for teachers' certificates in January, 1907. For the Junior Examination there were in all 2,123 candidates, representing a very marked increase on the number reached in any previous year. Of this total, 1,114 (or a little over 50 per cent.) entered for the examination ostensibly as candidates for admission to th,e public service under the Civil Service Kegulations, the remainder made use of the examination for other purposes, as candidates for senior free places in secondary schools and district high schools, for the examination of pupil-teachers in the service of Education Boards, and for Education Board senior scholarships or under the conditions of tenure of Junior National scholarships. Of the Civil Service candidates, properly so considered, 759 passed the examination, 566 of them with credit, as shown in the order-of-merit list published in the Gazette of the 29th January, 1907. For the Senior Examination there were 183 candidates, and the names of 138 of this number were published in the Gazette of the 22nd February, 1907, one as having passed the examination with distinction, 54 as having passed the examination, and 84 as having passed in two or more subjects. Further particulars are given in the report of the Annual Examinations (E.-Ia). SCHOLABSHIPS AND FeEE PLACES. The Education Board scholarship scheme by which the Education Boards, under local regulations approved by the Minister of Education, award annually a large number of scholarships of varying value out of an allowance of old standing, amounting to Is. 6d. per head of the average attendance, still remains the chief door of entry to secondary schools for the most promising of the primary school pupils. The regulations adopted in the different districts commonly provide for two classes of scholarships, junior and senior—the former limited to children under fourteen or in some cases under thirteen years of age resident in the district, and tenable usually for two years; the latter, more restricted in number, continuing the secondary education of the holders for two or three years longer. During the year 1906 Education Board scholarships—junior and senior—were current to the number of 463, as against a total of 394 for 1905. The actual monetary value of these scholarships in most instances is small, the object in view being generally to spread the benefits as widely as possible rather than to provide attractive prizes for a few. Each scholarship, however, through the operatio of the provisions for free places, which give a preference to scholarship-holders, carries with it in a'l but certain exceptional circumstances the substantial benefit of free tuit ; on, and"a lodging or travelling allowance is added where necessary. The total expenditure of Education Boards on scholarships of this class during the year 1906 was £8,487.

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

Under the National Scholarship scheme, pup'ls of public schools have also the chance of obtain'ng a Junior National scholarship, tenable for three years, or in special cases for a longer period. These scholarships, of a more uniform value than the Education Board scholarships, and generally on a level with the best of those scho'arships, are awarded on the results of an examination conducted annually by the Education Department, and the examination is now in nearly all the districts adopted by the Education Boards for the award of their own scholarships. The actual award of Junior National scholarships is also intrusted to the Education Boards, who exercise a certain control over the holders and pay over to them from time to time the amounts falling due. At the end of 1906 the number of Junior National scholarships current was 79, 66 of which were held at secondary schools and 13 at district high schools. Of this number, 30 were in the first year of their currency, 27 in the second year, and 22 in the third year. A few of the scholarships have been extended to a fourth year, but, the first award dating only from January, 1904, there has not been time for the names of any fourth-year holders to appear in the annual record. Thirty-three of the scholarships were of the annual value of £10, and 46 of £40, with free tuition added in all cases. Apart from fees otherwise accounted for under the heading of free-place expenditure, the cost of Junior National scholarships for the year was £2,170. The amount actually paid through the Boards on account of these scholarships was £2,241. The total disbursements by Education Boards for scholarship purposes (Board and National) for 1906 thus amounted to £10,698. The examination for Junior National scholarships, with which is associated the special examination for junior free places in secondary schools, district high schools, and technical schools, is held annually in December. For this examination in 1906 entries were received from 1,458 candidates seeking to qualify for the Junior National scholarships, for Education Board Junior scholarships, for Junior Queen's scholarships in connection with the Middle University District, or simply for the free places. In 1905 the number of entries received was 870. On the results of the examination 593 of the candidates qualified for a scholarship award, and 129 satisfied the conditions for free places. In extension of the provisions for scholarships, the arrangements now in force, by which pupils of fair promise are admitted to free tuition in secondary and other schools, are very comprehensive and far-reaching in their effects. For all who deserve it there is now a free course from the initiatory stages of the primary school to the doors of the University, and by means of further scholarships and bursaries.

making classes at the colleges free to all duly qualified students, a further step of progress to the distinction of a University degree is also possible in terms of similar advantage. Under the regulations for free places in secondary schools and district high schools boys and girls who qualify for junior scholarships, whether they obtain scholarships or not, or who pass the special examinations for free places, become entitled to two years' free tuition, and the privilege is extended with various conditions to a very large group of other aspirants whose claims may in some cases be less convincing. At the end of the period a further free place is obtainable to the age of nineteen by all who succeed in passing the Civil Service Junior Examination within the age of sixteen years, who qualify under a similar condition for Education Board senior scholarships, whether within the age of sixteen years or not, gain a credit pass in the Civil Service Junior Examination, or qualify for matriculation in the University. Beyond the limits of the secondary school the opportunities given to promising students are now also great. Besides the scholarships offered by the University, there are available four Senior National scholarships in each of the four University districts, four Senior Queen's scholarships, on terms of a similar character in connection with Victoria College, and one or more Taranaki Scholarships under special enactment, making a total of some thirty-six scholarships of very substantial value offered at the close of 1906 on the results of the Junior Scholarship examination of the University. University bursaries, covering free tuition at University college classes for a period of three years, are also offered out of the public funds to all who obtain credit in the Junior University Scholarship examination, and otherwise possess the qualifications for a National scholarship without obtaining one. With these provisions there can be few indeed entitled to special consideration who are deterred from a University course by the question of the cost of classes. Secondaby Education. At the end of 1906 the secondary schools giving free tuition to duly qualified pupils, and receiving grants therefor under section 87 of the Education Act, numbered twenty-three, as against twenty-one for the previous year. The total number of pupils on the roll of these schools was 3,261, and of this total 2,435 (1,324 boys and 1,111 girls), or 76 per cent, of the roll-number, were given free places under the regulations for free places at a mean average cost to the Treasury of £8 17s. 4d. per pupil; the approximate annual rate as determined on the payments for the last term of the year being £21,240. In 1905 the number of such free pupils was 1,906, and the approximate annual rate £16,414, with a mean capitation of £8 14s. 4d. per pupil. There is thus a very substantial increase to be noted in the grant of free places under this heading, with an approximate increase in capitation payments of £4,826. In addition, free tuition was given to 335 holders of scholarships or exhibitions granted by these schools, by Boards of Education (in some circumstances), or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions, making the total number of free places held at secondary schools 2,770, as against 2,265 for 1905. Further, however, in reckoning the amount of free secondary education in the colony there has to be included an almost equal number of pupils in attendance at the secondary classes of district high schools. As shown below, there were on the roll of the secondary departments of these schools 2,594 pupils who had passed through the elementary school course and were in receipt of secondary instruction, not differing materially in character from the instruction given in the secondary schools. All but a comparatively small number of these were free pupils within the meaning of the regulations for free places, and a number still nearer in approach to the complete enrolment actually received free tuition at a total cost in salaries of £18,484, and an average annual cost per pupil enrolled of £7 2s. 7d. The number of district high schools in operation at the end of 1906 was 61, as against 59 for 1905 and 52 for 1904. In the secondary departments of these schools the teachers employed, apart from the principals, who may or may not have taken part in the secondary instruction, but whose added responsibility is in all cases recognised by some increment of salary, numbered 99, and the number of pupils in attendance was 2,594 —an increase of 21 teachers, and a decrease of 278 pupils. In 1905 a very substantial rise in the attendance had to be noted ; the present move-

xix

E.—l.

ment in the opposite direction may be attributed to various causes, among which increased facilities for higher education in other directions and somewhat stricter tests of admission have doubtless much to do. The total annual rate of salaries paid to the teachers of district high schools on the basis of the last quarter of 1906, over and above the amounts payable in respect of ordinary primary schools of similar average, was £19,747, of which a sum of £1,263, payable only to present occupants under section 82, (c), of the Act in virtue of earlier arrangements, is not of the nature of a permanent charge. The remainder, £18,484, represents the present annual cost of secondary education in these schools, and may be compared with the totals £13,854 for 1905 and £11,034 for 1904 respectively under previously existing conditions. With a further deduction from the amount for 1906 in respect to allowances to principal teachers, under Part VI of the Fourth Schedule to the Act, the average salary of secondary assistants at the close of the year was £170 17s. 4d. The programme followed in the upper departments of district high schools embraces generally a secondary course in English, mathematics (including arithmetic), and science. Where possible, handwork is also included, and in many cases Latin, French, geography, and history are taken up by a greater or less proportion of the pupils. With few exceptions—the secondary departments attached to the training colleges for teachers in the four chief centres, two other schools in Wellington, and one in Christchurch—the schools are really rural schools, situated in the smaller boroughs or in townships, without any of the features of urban environment, and it is to be hoped that as opportunities occur every effort will be made to adapt the course of study accordingly. In many cases steps in this direction have already been taken, and with the introduction of more teachers on the staff of these schools who have been trained on modern lines a further extension of the work in the direction of agricultural science for agricultural districts, chemistry, or geology and allied knowledge for mining centres, and some branch of handwork to cultivate manual dexterity in all, could be profitably undertaken. The difficulty at present experienced of finding suitable teachers who will be content to remain long enough in such a position is undoubtedly great; but that so many are secured well equipped in point of attainment for the work they have to do is already a ground for much gratification. Exclusive of the principals of the schools, some thirty of whom possess University degrees, 64 of those employed are graduates, several holding degrees in both arts and science, 17 have a Class C certificate, and 12 a certificate of Class D, out of a total number of 99.

Table K1.—Staff, Attendance, Fees, and Salaries at Secondary Schools.

The balance sheet (Table K2) shows that the finances of the Boards generally are on a sound basis. Except in the matter of buildings, on which there is a large increase of expenditure, the various items, including the final credit balance, bear a close relation to those of the previous year. The income of the schools for 1906 from school fees, not including fees for boarding, amounted to £21,190; from rents and interest, £30,263 ; from endowments administered by the School Commissioners,

A review of the year's work discloses a very considerable advance throughout the colony in respect of matters connected with manual and technical instruction. In the larger centres controlling authorities have been enabled by means of Government grants to continue the work of extending and mproving the provision already made for technical instruction, with the result that a general improvement is noticeable, not only in the range and character of the instruction, but also in the efficiency of the accommodation and equipment for classes. Provision is also being made, as far as circumstances (local and otherwise) warrant, for accommodation and equipment for classes in a number of smaller centres in which facilities for technical instruction have been previously lacking. Evidence is not wanting that on the whole the classes so established are being taken advantage of by those for whose benefit they have been initiated. In the case of some of the technical schools in the larger centres steps have been taken to establish subcentres, many of the classes being conducted by itinerant instructors or by instructors on the staff of the technical school. This system, which has much to commend it, makes for greater efficiency in the matter of instruction than would otherwise be the case, and further enables the authorities of what may be termed the parent schools to find full employment for some at least of their instructors. The establishment in certain centres of technical day classes, in addition to the usual evening classes, to which reference was made in last year's report, has also done much to improve the teaching-strength of the staffs of the technical schools concerned. Far better results are likely to accrue where instructors are able to give their whole time to the work, instead of, as has too often been the case hitherto, being employed in giving instruction for one or two evenings a week only. With regard to the technical day classes, which are attended mainly by holders of free places, there is one feature that appears to call for special mention, and that is the very large number of pupils taking courses in commercial instruction compared with the number of pupils taking courses in other subjects of technical instruction. Without going into the reasons, which are sufficiently obvious, for this not altogether satisfactory state of affairs, let it suffice to say that this undue preponderance of classes for commercial instruction is to be regretted. The continued efforts on the part of those responsible for the conduct of the larger technical schools in the direction of inducing students to take up definite courses of instruction in lieu of isolated subjects are meeting with a greater measure of success than heretofore. In spite of the many real difficulties to be contended against, it has been found possible to arrange in certain cases for fairly complete courses of instruction for those engaged in important and widespread industries and trades. The schools have been assisted in this very 'mportant matter by the improved attitude of employers, who appear to have begun to realise that it is to their benefit to encourage their employees to avail themselves of the opportunities now offered for obtaining a knowledge of the prin-

xxii

E.—l.

ciples underlying the practice of the industry or trade with which they are immediately concerned. There is abundant evidence that an increasing interest is being taken by local bodies and employers of labour in the institutions devoted to technical instruction, the effect of which cannot fail to be other than beneficial to the cause of technical education in the colony. As evidencing the interest referred to, it may be remarked that the amount paid by the Government during the year by way of subsidies on voluntary contributions in aid of technical instruction was nearly two and a half times as much as for the previous year. The number of approved technical, continuation, and school classes in operation during the year was 5,012, as against 3,945 for the previous year. Of these classes 3,839 were classes for instruction in various branches of handwork in connection with nearly a thousand primary and secondary schools, while 1,173 were special, associated, and college classes for instruction in various subjects of science, art, and technology. Technical classes were held at about seventy-eight different places. An increasing amount of attention continues to be given to instruction in handwork in connection with primary and secondary schools. Cookery and woodwork, among other subjects, are now being taught in nearly every education district. During the year 214 cookery classes and 188 woodwork classes were in operation. These classes are taught usually at properly equipped central schools. This system, though not without disadvantages, has much to commend it. It has the merit of economy, and thus enables controlling authorities to arrange for the instruction of a much larger number of children than would otherwise be the case. Considerable attention is also being given to instruction in primary schools in subjects relating or leading up to rural pursuits. A large number of schools, over three hundred, are now provided with gardens and experimental plots, affording excellent opportunities for gaining a little knowledge at first hand by bringing children into contact with things rather than with other people's description of things. The action of certain controlling authorities in appointing special instructors to train the teachers and to supervise the work in the schools, should do much to increase the value of what is a most important factor in the all-round education of the child. When it is remembered that until recently facilities for the training of teachers in rural science were almost if not entirely absent, it is pleasing to be able to record the fact that the work accomplished in connection with not a few of the school gardens has been distinctly beneficial to the general work of the school. In two education districts, in addition to school gardens, instruction is now being given in the principles connected with the processes common to dairying, and to a smaller extent in the processes themselves, with gratifying results. As a result of this preliminary training in the schools, controlling authorities should experience little difficulty in arranging later on for more specialised instruction in connection with classes for young people who have left school not unacquainted with some at least of the facts of their surroundings. The special grants to Education Boards for the training of teachers in subjects of manual and technical instruction have been continued this year. The grants have, on the whole, been wisely used, and full advantage has been taken by teachers of the opportunities provided for instruction. The curriculum of the training-colleges in the four large centres also includes instruction in various branches of handwork. At the examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute thirty-eight teachers passed the examination in cookery, and twenty-nine that in woodwork. Free places at technical schools were held by over 1,600 persons, as against about 1,000 for the previous year. A fair proportion of holders of junior free places have qualified by examination for senior free places, entitling them to three years further free education, at the end of which period they should have passed through a fairly complete course of technical instruction. The specimens of handwork from public and secondary schools, and of the work of some of the technical and art schools, exhibited at the International Exhibition at Christchurch afforded an opportunity of gauging to some extent the value of what is being done in the way of manual and technical instruction in the colony. The exhibits, though not as representative as they might have been, gave in many instances evidence of sound instruction and of progress along right lines.

The total expenditure by the Government on manual and technical instruction for 1906 was £63,416 2s. 3d. The details are as follows : Capitation on all classes, £25,363 Is. 2d. ; grants for buildings and equipment, £24,905 3s. lid. ; grants for material for class use, £951 4s. 4d. ; subsidies on voluntary contributions, £3,225 15s. lid. ; training of teachers in subjects of manual and technical instruction, £2,415; training-colleges on account of instruction in handwork, £923 12s. 5d.; railway fares of instructors and students, £647 9s. sd. ; expenses in connection with the examinations of the Board of Education, South Kensington, and of the City and Guilds of London Institute, £701 os. 2d. ; inspection, £899 195.; free places, £3,336 os. 7d. ; sundries, £47 15s. 4d. The sum of £160 12s. 6d. was recovered by way of examination fees and from sale of material used at examinations, leaving a net expenditure of £63,255 9s. 9d. Full information on the subject of manual and technical instruction appears in a separate paper (E.-5). Chatham Islands. During the year 1906 there were five schools in operation in the Chatham Islands—viz., Te One, in the centre of Chatham Island ; Moreroa, Matarakau, and Kaingaroa, smaller schools worked as part-time schools by an itinerant teacher ; and a school on Pitt Island. The total number of children on the rolls of all the schools at the end of 1906 was 98, as against 91 in 1905, while the average attendance for the year was 78. The total expenditure on the schools for the year was £662 2s. 10d., made up as follows : Salaries and allowances of teachers, £516 os. sd. ; school furniture, requisites, &c, £86 17s. sd. ; inspection, £26 ss. ; scholarships, £33. With the exception of Pitt Island, the schools were inspected and examined in February of this year according to the regulations for the examination of public schools in New Zealand. In the main school the results were fair; in the parttime schools they were most unsatisfactory. Indeed, there seemed to be a lamentable want of appreciation, on the part of the parents of the children concerned, of the Department's efforts on their behalf. It appears to be necessary to use compulsion to secure the attendance of the children in several cases, and legislative provision is required before this can be done. Meanwhile, it has been decided that these schools should be closed. It was found impossible to visit Pitt Island School, and the children were, therefore, classified by the teacher. The attendance at this school has been very satisfactory during the year. The third examination for the Chatham Island Scholarship was held this year, and the scholarship was awarded to Percy Fougere, who is now attending the Boys' High School, Christchurch. There are now two scholarships current under this arrangement. Native Schools. At the end of 1906 there were one hundred village schools, as against ninetyfive at the end of 1905. Five new schools were opened during the year, at the end of which all the schools, with the exception of two, were in full operation. The new schools opened were Tautoro, in the Bay of Islands district; Oparure, in the King-country ; Kaiwhata, east coast of Wellington ; Waimarama and Tubara, in Hawke's Bay. Owing to decreased attendance one school— Waiotapu—was closed. In several schools increased attendance has necessitated building additions, and at the present time four new schools—Tuhara, Motiti Island, Wharekawa, and Mataora —are in hand. The total roll number on 31st December, 1906, was 4,174, as against 3,863 in 1905; the average attendance for the year being 3,607 —an increase of 179 on that of the previous year. In at least one-third of the schools the average attendance exceeded 90 per cent, of the roll number, while the average obtained by all the schools—Bs-2 per .cent. —is to be regarded as very satisfactory when bearing in mind the peculiar conditions attaching to Maori schools. In addition to the village schools there are six mission schools which are annually inspected and examined by the Department's officers. These are Otaki,

xxiv

E.—l.

Putiki, Te Hauke, Matata Convent, Tokaanu, and Waerenga-a-hika. The roll numbers at the time of the Inspector's visit were: Otaki, 34; Putiki, 30; Te Hauke, 29; Matata, 36 ; Tokaanu, 28 ; and Waerenga-a-hika, 43. For the higher education of Maori boys and. girls the Department avails itself of six boarding-schools under the control and management of various church authorities —viz., Te Aute College and St. Stephen's School, for boys; Hukarere, St. Joseph's, Queen Victoria, and Turakina Girls' School, for girls. The Government offers 123 scholarships, tenable at one or other of the boarding-schools, to such children of predominantly Maori race as qualify for them in the village schools. At the end of 1906 forty of these scholarships were held by boys and forty by girls. A number of scholarships is also offered to Maori children attending public schools who pass at least Standard V before reaching the age of fifteen. The holders of these may attend a secondary school or become apprenticed to a suitable trade. Three of these scholarships were current at the end of the year—one boy attending a secondary school and two boys being apprenticed. Three boys who formerly attended Native schools were also, at the end of the year, learning trades under this arrangement. Six Maori girls are at present being trained as nurses for work among their own people. Of these, three hold senior scholarships and are probationers on the staffs of various hospitals, while three hold junior scholarships, or day-pupil-ships, and attend the hospitals daily from their respective schools. Of the six University scholarships offered by the Government to the most promising youths from secondary schools, three are at present held—two in law and one in medicine. A former scholarship holder has just succeeded in qualifying for the degree in medicine and surgery of the New Zealand University, he being the second to so qualify under the Department's scheme. Instruction in woodwork is given in thirteen schools, and in several schools the girls are taught practical dressmaking and plain cookery with simple appliances. A scheme of cottage gardening as a branch of handwork is being prepared; in several schools a beginning has already been made. In the majority of schools some form or other of elementary handwork is taken with success. A new scale of staff's and salaries approximating to the " colonial scale " was issued, to come into operation at the beginning of 1907. While reducing a few of the higher salaries, this scale will increase those of a large percentage of the other teachers. The total expenditure on Native schools during the year was £29,755, which includes £111 paid from Native school reserves and .£2,000 from the Civil List for Native purposes. Deducting £74 recoveries from various sources, the result is a net cost of £29,681, as against £24,041 in 1905. Included in this amount is £5,641 for new buildings and additions; on secondary education (including boarding-school fees for holders of scholarships from village schools, apprenticeships, nursing scholarships, University scholarships, and travelling-expenses of scholarship holders), £2,477. The staff of the village schools included seventy-six masters, nineteen mistresses in charge, ninety-seven assistants, and eleven sewing-teachers. Of the 4,174 children attending Native schools at the end of 1906, 803 per cent, were Maori or nearly Maori; 633 per cent, were half-castes, speaking Maori in their homes; 4-22 per cent, were half-castes or nearly so, speaking English in their homes ; and 9-15 per cent, were Europeans. The standard classification of pupils at the end of the year 1906 was: Preparatory classes, 1,618; Standard I, 568; Standard 11, 646; Standard 111, 545 ; Standard IV, 452 ; Standard V, 241 ; Standard VI, 101; Standard VII, 3. Twenty-four certificates of competency and twenty-nine of proficiency in Standard VI were issued during-the year, the majority to European children. Of the children of Maori or mixed race attending public schools 6311 per cent, were of Maori race,, 5*34 per cent, were of mixed race living as Maoris, and

iv—E. 1.

XXV

E.—l.

3L55 per cent, were of mixed race living as Europeans. No statistics are available showing the standard classification of the Maori children in public schools, and thus no idea can be formed of the degree of attainment reached by Maori children in these schools. By 3,952 children coming under this category sixteen certificates of competency and thirteen certificates of proficiency were, however, obtained during the year. In many parts of the colony the Native school is the only means of education, and attending Native schools are some 380 European children. Included in this number are the children of the Native school teachers. Facilities for higher education offered by the provisions under the Education Act for free places in secondary schools are afforded these children, of whom several during the year have qualified as required by the regulations. The Inspector's report and full details respecting the Native schools appear in a separate paper (E.-2). Industbial Schools. In view of the developments that have taken place during the last few years in the industrial-school system, it appears desirable to give a statement of the several establishments connected therewith and the functions allotted to each. Under the authority given by the Act the transfers from one institution to another necessary to secure a broad general classification of the inmates are freely made. The establishments belonging to the Government are the following:— Auckland Industrial School. —This institution receives girls who do not need reformatory treatment, and it has also the care of boys who are not too old or too wild to be boarded out, or who can be placed at once at service or in the Costley Training Institution. Girls only are taken into residence. Boys' Training Farm, Weraroa, receives boys who, not needing reformatory treatment, are, by reason of age or temperament, not fitted for boarding out. Wellington Receiving Home receives infants and young boys and girls fit to be boarded out, and older girls who can be trusted at service. It is not at present adapted for residential purposes. Christchurch Receiving Home. —The purpose of this establishment is similar to that of the Wellington Receiving Home. Te Oranga Home, near Christchurch (Reformatory). —This is a reformatory for girls whose character requires that they shall be kept under strict discipline. Young women of seriously vicious or depraved habits committed to the Home are at present transferred to institutions more specially fitted for the care of such persons ; but they will form a separate section of the institution when the contemplated extension of the buildings has been effected. Burnham Industrial School (Reformatory). —This is a reformatory for boys whose vicious or criminal tendencies do not admit of their being dealt with at any of the other institutions. Caver sham Industrial School. —Similar to the Auckland Industrial School. The private schools established under the Act are all in connection with the Roman Catholic Church, and receive boys and girls who do not need reformatory treatment. They are the following :— St. Mary's Industrial School, Auckland, with separate branches for boys and girls. St. Joseph's Industrial School, Wellington ; for girls. St. Mary's Industrial School, Nelson, with separate branches for boys and girls. St. Vincent de Paul's Industrial School, Dunedin •; for girls. The numbers on the books of all the schools on the 31st December, 1906, compared with the numbers at the corresponding date of the previous year, are as follows:—

TABLE L1.—Inmates, 1905 and 1906.

The number in residence at Government schools was 343, and at private schools' 317, so that 660 was the total number actually in residence. The number boarded out on payment was 684, 7 being from private schools and the rest from Government schools. There were 11 girls maintained in various corrective institutions, 1 girl in hospital, 2 boys at the School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner, and 12 boys at the Costley Training Institution, Auckland. The total number of inmates dependent on public funds for maintenance was therefore 1,370, or 124 more than the number at the end of 1905. The remaining 705, although still subject to the control and supervision of the schools, were not dependent on them for maintenance. In Table L 2 is shown the cost of the Government schools, in which is included the expenditure for the maintenance of inmates boarded out and the salaries of the resident staffs and medical officers ; it also shows the cost of supervision of all inmates who are licensed to reside away from the schools ; and, further, the amounts of the recoveries from Charitable Aid Boards, from persons against whom orders for maintenance have been made, and from the sale of farm-produce, &c. The total amount contributed by parents towards the maintenance of their children was £3,477 Bs. 6d., being at the rate of £2 10s. 9d. per head of the total number of children (1,370) maintained at the public cost.

TABLE L4.—Summary of Expenditure on Special Cases at other Institutions and Private Homes, 1906.

At the end of 1906 there was in the Post-Office Savings-Bank, on account of the earnings of inmates of Government industrial schools, a sum of £16,344 7s. Bd., and on account of inmates of private industrial schools, £4,012 4s. For inmates of Government schools a sum of £2,673 Bs. 2d. was withdrawn from the bank during the year, and for inmates of private schools £280 4s. 6d. During the year death caused two vacancies on the staff of Medical Officers of the Government schools. Dr. A. G. Purchas, of the Auckland School, and Dr. R. Burns, of Caversham, after having held their positions for many years, passed away at an advanced age. Not only was their professional skill always given wholeheartedly for the benefit of the children under their care, but their genial fatherly solicitude for everything connected with the schools won the affectionate regard of the children, and the grateful thanks of the Department, the Managers, and their staffs. As time goes on it becomes more evident that the system of .boarding out children in foster-homes is the most beneficent method of providing for them. Boarding-out was inaugurated in New Zealand in 1883, and the many hundreds of cases where the success of the system has been quite beyond question provide an ample answer to those who, through want of full acquaintance with the effects of it, are prone to condemn it when one of its failures occurs. During these twentyfour years the average number of children boarded out has been 454, the numbers rising from 209 in 1883 to 690 in 1906. In that time the number of deaths has been 51, of whom 32 were under four years of age, the average annual death-rate being 0 - 46 per cent. Such a result is very satisfactory, especially when the circumstances

of the bulk of industrial-school children prior to their admission, and the fact that many of them are exceedingly delicate infants, are taken into consideration. The sustained prosperity of the colony is having the effect of making it somewhat difficult to find the right class of homes, especially for infants. During the past five years much greater attention has been paid to the subject of obtaining contributions from parents towards the support of children under industrial-school control. In that time the annual receipts from this source have risen from £1,300 to £3,500, and there is every reason to expect that there will be a proportionate increase in the current year. Last year an average sum of £2 10s. 9d. was recovered from parents for every one of the 1,370 children maintained out of public funds.. To bring about such a satisfactory result the closest watchfulness has been necessary. The matter of payments in support of illegitimate children, both by the putative fathers and by the mothers, has received special care. Compositions totaling £180 in two cases have been made during the year by putative fathers, one of these being secured by means of registering the maintenance order against the title of a section of rural land. As showing the importance of co-operation between the Courts, the Police, and the Education Department in this matter, it may be mentioned that in one instance where the Magistrate held the view that undue pressure was brought to bear on parents by the Department, the receipts for a year dwindled to £125 in that centre ; but, upon his being succeeded by a Magistrate who strongly holds the view that every person liable to pay for maintenance of a child should be compelled to do so if of sufficient ability, the receipts have steadily risen until they now stand at £520 for the year, and are still increasing. A separate paper (E.-3) gives details respecting industrial schools. School fob Deaf-mutes. It cannot be too often repeated that in this institution the deaf, who would otherwise be speechless, are taught both to speak and to understand (from the motion of the lips) the speech of others, and that they are thereby admitted not only to the benefits of communication with their fellow-men, but even very largely to the conceptions involved in human intercourse. These facts are not always understood or appreciated. Every year deaf children are found who, to a greater or less extent, have passed the age at which their special instruction should have begun, and who consequently fail to attain expertness in oral communication, or more than partial mental development. Through want of knowledge of the institution, through mistaken advice, through misguided affection, or through fear of expense, the parents of these children are responsible for a loss of time that can never be made good. The following classes of deaf children are admitted to the institution, mental soundness being in all cases a necessity : — 1. Children born deaf, or who have lost their hearing before learning to speak. 2. Children who can hear a little, but are too deaf to be taught in an ordinary school. 3. Children who have lost their hearing after having learned to speak. The number of pupils in the institution is steadily increasing. At the reopening of the school at the beginning of the year there were 57 pupils —29 boys and 28 girls; 9 boys and 6 girls were admitted during the year, and 1 boy and 1 girl left the school. At the end of the year there were 70 pupils —37 boys and 33 girls. It will soon become necessary to provide more residential accommodation, either by extending the buildings at Sumner or by establishing a branch of the institution in another part of the country. The ordinary expenditure institution jfor the year 1906 was : Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,593 Is. Id. ; steward, matron, and servants, £726 3s. 3d. ; rent, £11 13s. 4d. ; housekeeping, £827 17s. 9d. ; travelling-expenses (including transit of pupils), £182 4s. Id. ; school material and material for technical instruction, £8 ss. Bd. ; general maintenance of buildings and furniture, £207 4s. ; clothing, £20 14s. lOd. ; medical attendance and medicine, £74 4s. Id. ; water-supply, £51 7s. 6d. ; boarding-out of pupils, £164 6s. 4d. ; sundries, £141 12s. 4d. : total expenditure, £4,008 14s. 3d. Deducting parents' contributions, £415 2s. 5d., the net expenditure was £3,593 lis. lOd. The amount expended in 1904 was £4,176 Is. 4d. The

xxix

E.—l.

sum expended during the year upon the new build ng was £1,976 Bs. lid. In 1905 the amount was £1,325 16s. 3d. The Director's report and other information respecting the school appears in a separate paper (E.-4). Institute foe the Blind. The Jubilee Institute for the Blind at Auckland is not a Government institution, but by an Act the year four of the nine members of the Board of Trustees constituted under the Act are to be appointed annually by the Governor, the remainder being elected from time .to time by the voluntary contributors. By this Act the Trustees are required to admit to the Institute every blind child between seven and sixteen years of age that the Minister of Education directs to be sent there, the Government paying for maintenance not more than £26 a year in each case. The total amount paid by Government on account of pupils during 1906 was £618 17s. lid. A sum of £14 was also paid for the separate tuition of a pupil in Christchurch. Maintenance contributions by parents and others amounted to £111 2s. 6d. The number of Government pupils at the close of 1905 was 24 ; of these, 4 left and 7 were admitted during 1906; thus at the end of the year the number was 27. Homes foe Mentally-Deficient Childeen. The Government has had under consideration the question of giving suitable education to those young persons who, not being imbecile, are by reason of lack of intel! gence incapable of receiving proper benefit from the instruction in the public schools; but are not incapable by reason of such deficiency of receiving benefit from instruction in schools specially set apart and equipped to meet their needs. Provision has already been made for the education of the deaf and blind, and it is equally important that attention should be given to those that are mentally weak. At present numbers of these children, who under favourable conditions could be trained at least to maintain themselves, have no other prospect than to be a lifelong burden upon their people or upon charitable aid. The experience of other countries shows that much can be done by special education to develop children of this class to teach them to earn their livelihood, either out in the world or, in the case of those whose deficiencies are rather more pronounced, to maintain themselves under supervision without cost to the State or to their friends as the case may be. To obtain thoroughly good results from such training, healthy situations for the institutions are needed, where the inmates can lead a free outdoor life, and at the same time receive the manual instruction — agricultural training, &c, which must be the chief means of awaking and stimulating their mental faculties. The Government has now decided to establish an institution of this kind for boys, and with this end in view to acquire the house and grounds of the Otekaike Estate, near Duntroon, in north Otago, at a cost of about £7,000. It is considered that the conditions there are most suitable for this work, and the existing buildings can be made, with very little alteration, to accommodate some fifty boys and the staff. The matter of providing a similar institution for girls is also engaging the attention of the Government. Teachees' Supeeannuation. The Teachers' Superannuation Act, which was passed by Parliament on the 31st October, 1905, and came into force on the Ist January, 1906, was amended by a supplementary Act on the 29th October, 1906. Every person who at the date of the coming into operation of the principal Act was permanently employed for not less than twenty hours a week in the Education service had the option of becoming a contributor to the Fund ; such contributors are " original members," and, as such, are entitled to special benefits. The number of persons who have entered as original members is 2,720 ; of these, 127 have left

XXX

E.—l.

the service, and the remainder, 2,593, classified according to age at entry, is as follows :—

Return of Original Members at 31st March, 1907.

This number may be slightly increased by the admission of some who, after the expiration of the six months allowed for election, enter " on the payment of such sum, computed in the manner prescribed by regulations, and on such conditions as the Board, having due regard to the interest of the Fund, determines." The following is a statement of the number of persons who, having joined the Education service after the coming into operation of the Act, have become contributors to the Fund by compulsion or by option. None of these contributors have left the service:—

Employed after Commencement of Act.

The total number of contributors to the Fund at the 31st March, 1907, was 2,812. The particulars of retirements (127) from the Fund are as follows: Six contributors died before entering upon pension, and their contributions to the Fund, amounting to £57 4s. 5d., were paid to their legal personal representatives, and, in addition, pensions amounting to £155 per annum were allowed to their widows or children. To thirty-five contributors who left the service contributions amounting to £276 3s. Bd. were returned. Of those retiring as medically unfit, two original members whose service did not exceed fifteen years received an allowance equal in each case to one-twelfth part of the total salary paid during all the years of their service prior to the Ist January, 1906, the total amount being £137 3s. ; and six original members, of service exceeding fifteen years, were granted pensions (each at £52 per annum) amounting to £312 ; seventy-eight retired at pension age with pensions (seventy-one at £52 per annum, and seven at over £52 per annum) amounting to £4,207 3s. 3d. The balance to the credit of the Fund on the 31st March, 1907, was £34,733 16s. 2d., and of this sum £28,000 has been invested on mortgage —£14,500 at 4| per cent., and £13,500 at 5 per cent. The report of the Superannuation Board is printed as a separate paper (E.-14).

Public Libbaeies. 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 15th November, 1906, 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 year were not less than £2, and the vote was divided according to the amount thus augmented ; but no library received credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case did the augmented amount on which distribution was based exceed £100. In accordance with the Gazette notice, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the 6th February, 1907, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 422 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. 4-94 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £4 12s. Id. to £17 Is. 2d. The r umber of libraries participating in the vote shows a decrease of eight 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 whol 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 : —

The payments made to Education Boards for primary education out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1906 amounted to £47,406 2s. lid., as compared with £49,348 9s. 6d. for the previous year.

Table N2 shows the total income from education reserves for the ten years, 1897-1906, and the cost of administration by the School Commissioners for the same period. In comparing these figures with those for 1896-1905, published in last year's report, it will be seen that the total income amounted in the last ten years to £556,071, as against £543,518 for 1896-1905, an increase of £12,553. The percentage of cost of administration shows a slight decrease, 687, as compared with 6-98. UnIVEBSITY AND COLLEGES.

EEPOETS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

[Details are in some cases omitted.] ' AUCKLAND. Sir,— Auokland, March, 1907. The Auckland Education Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1906 :— Board.—The members in office at the beginning of the year were Messrs. L. J. Bagnall, G. Eclgecumbe, H. J. Greenslade, M.H.R., A. E. Harris, S. Luke (Chairman), J. D. McKenzie, C. J. Parr, G. L. Peacocke, and J. Stallworchy, M.H.R. Through the death of Mr. Luke, which took place on the 28th May, the Board lost the services of a most valuable member, who had held office for twenty-eight years, and had taken the keenest interest in the progress of primary education during that period. Mr. Bagnall was elected to succeed him as Chairman. All the members retired from office in August. The election of members for the three wards resulted as follows: North Ward —Messrs. J. Stallworthy, M.H.R., J. D. McKenzie, and A. E. Harris; East Ward —Messrs. C. J. Parr, L. J. Bagnall, and H. J. Greenslade, M.H.R. ; West Ward—Messrs. F. W. Lang, M.H.E., C. T. Barriball, and G. Edgecumbe. Mr. Bagnall was re-elected Chairman. Twenty-six meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of seven members. A Committee of the whole Board meets every fortnight to deal with finance and the selection of teachers. Schools. —There were 463 schools in operation in December, including seventy-eight schools taught half-time. By reckoning each combination of half-time schools as one school, the number is reduced to 424. Two schools were permanently closed during the year. The demand for new schools is increasing with the growth of settlement. It is difficult to avoid delay in dealing with such applications. A personal visit by an Inspector is needed. Full and detailed information has to be compiled in order to satisfy both the Board and the Department as to actual requirements. The acquisition of a site may be delayed through a defective title. Again, the circumstances of a district undergo a change while the application is under consideration. Some buildings have been erected of a size large enough to suit the needs at the time of making the application, but too small to accommodate the number of pupils ready to attend on completion of the building. Arrangements have been made for the conveyance of scholars by ferry to and from six schools. Conveyance of scholars by road is impracticable in this district. Since January, 1907, four schools within the Waitomo County have been taken over from the Taranaki Education Board; and two schools on the Main Trunk Railway line, situated within the Wanganui Education District, have been taken over by the Board of that district. Teachers. —The teachers in the service at the end of the year numbered 912—males, 400; females, 512. This number includes 166 pupil-teachers. There are thus- 746 teachers above pupil-teacher rank, and of these 175 —about one-fourth—are not fully certificated. Owing to the dearth of teachers it has been necessary to employ a large number of inexperienced and untrained persons. It is hoped that this state of things may in time be remedied through the agency of the Training College. The superannuation scheme has received almost universal support, and there are now 580 contributors among the teachers of this district. Eighteen teachers have taken advantage of its provisions to retire from active service. This fund should prove an inducement to young people to enter the teaching profession. The Board has represented to the Government the need for adopting a more equitable basis for the payment of teachers than that of average attendance of scholars. It is unreasonable that teachers should be liable to suffer serious and continued pecuniary loss through circumstances which are beyond their power and control. In no other branch of the public service is such an anomaly known to exist. Attendances. —At the end of the year there were 32,455 scholars enrolled in the schools, an increase of 816 upon the number in December, 1905. This number includes 2,156 Maori and half-caste scholars in attendance at 229 schools. The average attendance for the year was 28,519, compared with 27,507 for 1905. The efforts of the Truant Officer have secured a better result as regards attendance. His work during the year included 344 visits to schools, the examination of 2,917 returns of irregular attendance, and the issue of 3,090 notices to parents. The number of informations laid was 222. The number of convictions was 175, 19 cases were withdrawn, and 3 were dismissed. Scholarships.—The scholarships under tenure at the end of the year were—Junior National, 14; Junior District, 67; Senior District, 30 : total, 111. The Board has received satisfactory reports of the diligence and progress of the holders. District High Schools.—Nine district high schools have been in operation during the year. There were 377 pupils on the roll in December. The average attendance for the year was 311. An increase has been made in the scale of salaries for teachers of the secondary department, but a higher rate of remuneration is desired in order to retain the services of fully qualified teachers. Training College.—The Training College was opened in March, 1906. Twenty-eight students attended during the year. The number now in attendance is thirty-six. Several applications have had to be refused for want of room. A new building is about to be erected, which will afford accommodation for eighty students. Physical and Military Drill.—This subject continues to receive careful attention. In several schools exercises are practised once or twice a day. Military drill is taught wherever practicable, and there are fifty-two schools which have organized cadet corps. Manual and Technical Instruction.—There has been a large extension of school classes during the year. Work has been continued at the three manual training schools in Auckland, and also at the Thames and at Whangarei. Proposals for the establishment of similar schools at Hamilton and Cambridge are under consideration. Special attention has been given to the subject

of agriculture and nature-study. Classes for the instruction of teachers have been held at various centres. A munificent donation of £10,000 has been received from the Trustees of the Auckland Savings-bank towards the fund for building a Technical College for Auckland. This amount, with other donations, and the Government subsidy thereon, will enable the Board to proceed with the erection of a suitable building upon the site secured from the Auckland City Council for the purpose. The building is to be designated the " Seddon Memorial Technical College." Finance.—The statement of receipts and expenditure is appended to this report. The year began with a debit balance of £2,683 6s. 10d., and ended with a credit balance of £3,129 Is. 9d., exclusive of a sum of £10,300 held in trust as part of the fund for building the Seddon Memorial Technical College. Buildings.—During the year seventeen new schools were built, and seventeen were enlarged. Three residences were built. There are still 270 schools for which no residence is provided. The want of suitable accommodation for teachers in country districts is a serious defect, which can only be remedied by special grants from Government for the erection of teachers' dwellings. The Board finds that the special grants for school buildings and enlargements do not suffice to cover the cost of these works. The maintenance and renewal of buildings can only proceed gradually, as funds permit. Competent foremen are employed under direction of the Architect to carry out repairs to buildings and fences, painting inside and outside, drainage and sanitary works, formation and asphalting of school grounds. School Committees. —The Board has received valuable assistance from School Committees in the administration of educational matters during the year. I have Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education. L. J. Bagnall, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sir,— New Plymouth, 26th February, 1907. 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 1906 : — At the beginning of the year the Board was comprised of the following members : Mr. James Wade (Chairman), Mrs. Jane R. Dougherty, Messrs. G. A. Adlam, Henry Faull, Arthur Morton, D. H. McDonald, William Monkhouse, George H. Maunder, and Harold Trimble. In the terms of " The Education Act, 1905," the whole of the members retired, and offered themselves for reelection. At the election held on the fourth Monday in July the result was that Messrs. Adlam, Faull, Morton, Monkhouse, Trimble, and Wade were re-elected, and Messrs. W. L. Kennedy, J. D . Morrison, and G. Tisch were elected in the other places. At the meeting held on the 21st August, Mr. James Wade was re-elected Chairman. The Board held twenty-four meetings. The members of the Reserves Committee inspected most of the school-sites during the year, and reported at each meeting of the Board on leases granted and the state of the sections. New schools have been opened at Douglas, Mangaroa, and Matiere. There were eighty schools open at the end of the year, including the six half-time schools ; and the number of teachers employed was 143, who were graded as follows : Sole teachers, 31 female and 19 male ; head teachers, 5 female and 22 male ; assistants, 35 female and 7 male ; pupil-teachers, 21 female and 3 male. The Stratford District School, although suffering from several unavoidable changes in the teaching staff, is still able to hold the high position it has gained in the past, and its usefulness is proved by the still-increasing attendance. At the annual Pupil-teachers' Examination, 8 pupil-teachers entered for the first examination, 5 passing and 3 failing ; 9 pupil-teachers went up for their certificate examination, the results of which are not yet to hand. Of the senior candidates for the Board's scholarships, 3 qualified, and of the junior 16. Senior Scholarships were awarded as follows : New Plymouth High School 1, Stratford District High School 1 ; and Junior Scholarships to —Central 2, Egmont Village 1, Lepperton 1, Midhirst 2, Norfolk Road 1, Oakura 1, Waitara 1, and the Stratford District High School 3. Two Queen's Scholarships were gained, one by a boy attending the Stratford District High School, who came third on the list with 679 marks, and the other by a boy attending the New Plymouth High School with 628 marks. The one National Scholarship allotted to this district was gained by a pupil attending the Stratford District High School. The Board has still every reason to be satisfied with the basis upon which the maintenance grant is allocated, and the way the Department has responded to applications for grants for the erection of new buildings and additions. Since the present system of the allocation of the grant came into force the Board has been able to considerably improve and more fully equip its schools. The receipts of the Board from all sources, including a balance of £1,029 lis. Id. brought forward from 1905, amounted to £30,827 18s. 10d., while the expenditure was as follows: Administration, £1,641 10s. 6d.; teachers' salaries and allowances, £18,322 os. 7d.; incidental expenses of schools, £1,317 2s. lid.; secondary education, £893 2s. lOd.; manual and technical, £3,168 19s. 2d. ; buildings, £3,412 ss. 6d. : leaving a balance of £2,072 17s. 4d. There have been thirty-two appointments made during the year, besides those of a temporary nature and appointments of pupil-teachers. Eight teachers from other districts received appointments, and twenty-four teachers in the service of the Board received promotion. In all schools physical exercises are taken daily, with a more extended period for instruction once a week. Military drill is taken at eleven schools, at which cadet corps have been formed. Elementary handwork was taken at thirty-nine schools, and sewing under the Manual Regulations in thirteen. In addition to the above, manual work, as defined by clauses 22-27 of the Regulations of Manual and Technical Instruction, was recognised in thirty-seven cases, the subjects embracing woodwork, botany, dairying, advanced needlework, elementary agriculture, swimming and life-saving, elementary measurements, chemistry, and elementary physiology. Considerable progress has been made in technical education, especially in elementary agriculture. Owing to numerous applications for a cookery class at Stratford, it was found necessary to make an application to the Department for an additional room in the Technical School, and the Department promptly responded. Tenders are now being called for the work. The New Plymouth Technical School is nearing completion, and will fill a great want in the district. The Board has endeavoured to get children conveyed to existing schools in preference to opening small ones, but has found the restrictions under the regulations prohibitive in most of the cases. Owing to the diligence of the Truant Officer, the average attendance of the schools shows a much higher percentage on the roll-number than in previous years. The Board is much concerned over the withdrawal of the franking privilege, and hopes that it will again be granted. 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.

WANGANUI. Sir,— Wanganui, 4th March, 1907. 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 the proceedings for the year 1906 : — At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following : Messrs. G. S. Bridge (Chairman), G. Carson, F. M. Spurdle, Fred. Pirani, E. Dixon, F. Y. Lethbridge, M.H.R., A. H. Atkinson, H. E. P. Adams, and A. Fraser. In March, Mr. Bridge, owing to failing health (he died in April), resigned his position on the Board, but the vacancy was not filled owing to there being no provision in the amending Act of 1905 for filling an extraordinary vacancy. Mr. F. Pirani was elected Chairman for the remainder of the term. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," the district was divided into three wards—Northern, Middle, and Southern. There was some doubt about the annual election, as no provision was made for this in the amending Act; but, on the advice of the Board's solicitors, it was decided that the whole Board should go out of office and an election be held for nine vacancies. The only contested ward was the Middle W art . f° r "which Messrs. D. H. Guthrie, F. Purnell, and F. M. Spurdle were elected. The other vacancies were filled by the following: Northern Ward—Messrs. G. Carson, E. Dixon, and J. Smith ; Southern Ward—Messrs. G. H. Bennett, Fred. Pirani, and A. Fraser. At the annual meeting in August Mr. Pirani was re-elected Chairman. Schools. —At the close of the year there were open in all 185 schools, Ten schools were opened during the year, and seven schools were closed,

E.~l

Teachers.—At the end of the year there were 374 teachers in the employ of the Board— 12 more than at the end of the previous year—l 44 were male and 175 female adult teachers. The remaining 55 Were pupil-teachers—l 2 male and 42 female. Owing to the departure of a number of ex-pupil-teachers for the Teachers' Training College, considerable difficulty was experienced during the year in obtaining teachers for the schools in the lower grades and for junior assistantships, and in some cases pupil-teachers with only one or two years' service were appointed to assistantships in country schools. Advantage was taken of the Superannuation Act by four of our oldest teachers, although the small amount payable to them under its provisions was no great inducement for them to give up lucrative positions. The new provisions for the selection of teachers have worked satisfactorily, probably because they are in accordance with the practice hitherto followed by the Board. It is a pity, though, that more power is not given to the Board in regard to the transfer of teachers, so that where promotion is well deserved, local prejudice should not be allowed to militate against a good teacher. With very few exceptions, the work of the great body of the teachers has been enthusiastic, self-denying, capable, and efficient, and the activity with which new ideas are inculcated and improved methods adopted is a pleasant feature in the educational work of the district. School Attendance.—The average attendance for the year was 86-3 per cent., 0-7 higher than in 1905, and 0-6 lower than the average for the colony for 1905. The attendance would be much larger but for the provision of the Act allowing every child a day off without any reason every week. Considering the exceptions made in regard to compulsory attendance, it seems only right that a child's attendance at school should be compulsory where there is no good reason for absence. At the end of 1905 there were 12,486 pupils in attendance at the schools in this education district, and at the end of 1906, 12,983, an increase of 497. The average attendance for the year was 11,104, an increase of 330 on the attendance for the preceding year. It has been found that the services of a Truant Inspector are necessary to enable the attendance to be maintained, particularly in regard to those families to whom education is a necessity, where the lack of means has the effect of persuading the parents to keep the children at home for light duties, to the detriment of their regular attendance. An application was made to the Department for a railway pass for the Inspector, it being considered only fair that he should be put on the same footing as visiting teachers, but the concession wits refused, a decision to be regretted, as restricted finance may result in the services of this useful officer having to be dispensed with. Buildings.-—lt is almost unnecessary to say that the present system of distributing the grant for new buildings and additions is unsatisfactory and little conducive to expedition and efficiency. Under the old conditions, where the whole of the responsibility of erecting new buildings was placed on the Board, when proof of the necessity for the work was evident, operations were started as soon as funds were available ; but now proof of necessity is only the first step, and considerable delay is incurred in collecting the necessary data to satisfy the Department that the work should be gone on with, then it takes some time to obtain the formal consent of the Minister, and, as a rule, the grant made is so inadequate for the work that, after tenders have been received, further delay is caused until the result of another appeal to the Department is made known. While, admittedly, the building grants are larger of late years than had hitherto been the case, an improvement in the method of distributing the vote is urgently needed. During the year new schools were erected at Glen Oroua, Pukeroa, Tararua, Utuwai, and Umutoi, and new residences at Ararata, Halcombe, Rangiwahia, and Ruahine. The school at Waipuru, and the residences at Table Flat, Rata, and Mokoia, contracts for which were let during 1905, were completed. A grant was made for the removal of the building formerly used as a Native school at Pariroa to Ohangai, and the work has been completed, while auihority has since been given for the removal of the residence. A building was erected at Sedgebrook for use as a side school in connection with the Aramoho School, and authority has since been given for the enlargement of this building to the size originally applied for by the Board, but cut down by the Department. Additions were made to Mataroa and Mosston Schools. In addition to this, a considerable sum was spent in small repairs, fencing, metalling, Ac. A number of the residences were erected in the days when bathrooms, wash-houses, drainage, and such conveniences were not looked upon as necessities, and while a great deal has been done to provide teachers with the adjuncts of modern civilization in this respect, very much more work is necessary before the district can claim to be up to date so far as housing the teachers is concerned. Finance. —The strain on our finances is chiefly caused by the utter inadequacy of the maintenance grant, moneys having to be spent out of the general fund to enable something approaching decency to be observed in connection with our school buildings. Sufficient allowance is not made for the fact that wooden buildings, erected many years ago, now cost very much more than modern buildings for painting, renewals, rebuilding, furnishing, putting in a sanitary condition by raising from the ground, &c.; while the purchase of sites for new schools is an expenditure we feel sure the Legislature never contemplated being placed on the maintenance or general fund. By careful administration of the general fund a sum of £536 has been transferred to the Building Account, but the recent decision to saddle on the Board payment of postages and telegrams will prevent that being done in future. It has been found utterly impossible to make the usual arrangements for painting the old schools this year owing to want of funds, and the false economy thus forced on the Board cannot be to the advantage of the State or the preservation of the buildings under the control of the Board. Scholarships.—Junior National: The three scholarships were awarded to A. K. Anthony (Whakamara), C. A. P. Palmer'(Wanganui District High School), and John A. Grant (College Street, Palmerston North). For the first time the examinations for the Board's scholarships were —for the Junior, the examination for the Junior National Scholarships; and for the Senior, the Civil Service Junior Examination. For the Junior there were 41 candidates, of whom

78

25 passed; and for the Senior there were 19 candidates, of whom 13 passed. Five Senior and seven Junior Scholarships were awarded. For the first time since the Queen's Scholarships were offered for competition two of these scholarships were won by pupils from this district. The pupils in question were Eric Ryburn and James Milne, both of the Wanganui District High School. Some inconvenience was caused by the delay in receiving the results of the examination for scholarships. The successful pupils should have been given a few weeks' notice of the fact so that they could take advantage of their success, whereas it was not until just before the reopening of the secondary schools that the results were to hand. It is recognised that this is due to the large number of candidates' papers to be examined, but the delay could be obviated by holding the examinations earlier. Technical Education.—The Board has taken special pains to develop the facilities offered for the extension of technical education, and the results are highly gratifying to all concerned. The success of the work carried out by Mr. Grant, agricultural instructor, is assured, and the numerous school gardens are striking testimony to the practical results of such instruction. The experimental garden at Halcombe School, from which it is proposed to draw seeds and plants for other school gardens, is in an excellent condition, reflecting high credit on Mr. Strachan, the headmaster. The Agricultural and Pastoral and Horicultural Societies have liberally aided this movement, and the competitions inaugurated by them will continue to stimulate it. The Board appointed Mr. R. Browne, Dairy Instructor, and their thanks are due to the Agricultural Department for their courteous assistance in enabling him to pursue his bacteriological studies. After the holidays are over, instruction in scientific dairying will be given systematically to school classes and to adults, and there is every prospect of this important innovation proving a complete success. At Wanganui an engineering class has been established in connection with the Technical School, a machinery-room having been built, and fitted up with the latest machinery. The school classes for cookery and woodwork are being extended, and now two instructors are engaged in each branch to enable the more remote districts to be reached. The children are taking considerable interest in the work, and the results are very gratifying. Owing to the great development of technical education, the Board found it necessary to inaugurate a new system of management, and to that end have divided the district into three—Northern, Middle, and Southern. Mr. Braik, Chief Inspector, is Superintendent of Technical Education ; Mr. Varney, Director of the Wanganui Technical School, Supervisor of the Middle District; Mr. Amos, Director of the Feilding Technical School, Supervisor of the Southern District; and Mr. Hintz, Supervisor of the Northern District: all of whom are able and enthusiastic exponents of technical education, and are doing excellent work. The central administration is in the hands of a committee of the Board, and the local administration is carried out by committees comprising representatives of local bodies and contributors to the funds. This system has been found to work smoothly and efficiently, and seems to be better than control by a body apart from the Education Board. Training of Teachers. —During the year the Board continued the Saturday Training Classes at Hawera, Wanganui, Marton, and Palmerston North. The classes, which were intended to stimulate the interest of the teachers in elementary agriculture and the various branches of drawing, were, on the whole, well attended. It says much for the devotion of teachers to their profession that so many are willing to give up their weekly holiday in order to increase their knowledge and practical skill. Judging from the results of the examinations, the Board has reason to think that the central classes established for the training of pupil-teachers are likely to prove a success. Payment of Salaries. —To simplify the work of payment of salaries and also to effect a saving in the payment of exchange, the Minister of Education has been asked by the Board if it is not possible to arrange for the payment of salaries through the Post Office, and from the answer received it is understood that if the idea is found to be feasible, it will be carried into effect. Drill.—ln almost all the schools military drill is imparted to the pupils, and in all the large schools creditable cadet companies are in existence, the teachers showing considerable enthusiasm in the work. In addition, a number of teachers give instruction in breathing-exercises, Mr. Jarrett kindly acting as honorary instructor for the district. It has been found that these exercises have a very beneficial effect on the health of the pupils and their physical development, and application has been made to the Minister for a grant to enable the instruction to be given systematically in all schools. School-desks.—After a number of experiments the Board has adopted the pattern of single desks in use by the Otago Education Board, and the result of the inviting of tenders for the work of construction proved that they can be manufactured in the colony cheaper than they could be imported. For some time past the Board has ceased the introduction of any but single desks into the schools. Offices. —A difficulty has arisen in regard to the erection of up-to-date Board Offices, there being no fund out of which such work could be paid for. The Education Department do not consider that the Board is entitled to a grant for such a work, and it is to be hoped that the Minister will take steps to obtain authority from the Legislature for expenditure in such an absolutely necessary direction. The Board is deeply indebted to its Inspectors—Mr. Braik, Chief Inspector, and Messrs. Milne and Strong—for the devotion they have shown to the cause of education, and the trouble they have taken to raise the standard of efficiency. Mr. Braik, in particular, has brought a whole-souled enthusiasm, a thorough grasp of educational problems, and a methodical persistence in the introduction of the best methods of utilising the syllabus into his work, which have earned for him the respect and gratitude of teachers, Committees, and the Board. I have, Ac, Fred. Pirani, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1907. In accordance with the provisions of "The Education Act, 1904," I beg to submit the following report of proceedings of the Wellington Board of Education for the year 1906. Until the annual election the Board was composed of Messrs. R. Lee (Chairman), W. Allan, E. Feist, W. C. Buchanan, W. H. Field, M.H.R., A. W. Hogg, M.H.R., J. KebbelL.T. W. McDonald, and A. H. Vile. The first election under the provisions of "The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," which provided for the division of the education district into three wards, resulted as follows : Wellington City Ward—Messrs. W. Allan, R. Lee, and Rev. W. A. Evans; Manawatu-Hutt Ward—Messrs. W. H. Field, M.H.R., J. Kebbell, and T. W. McDonald; Wairarapa Ward—Messrs. W. C. Buchanan, A. W. Hogg, M.H.R , and A. H. Vile. At the first meeting of the new Board Mr. R. Lee was unanimously re-elected Chairman.

The Board's representatives on the Wellington Technical Education Board were Messrs. Allan, McDonald, and Robertson. Messrs. Field and McDonald represented the Board as Managers of the Petone Technical School. Schools.—There were at the beginning of 1906 154 schools under the control of the Board. In the course of the year there were established new schools at Northland, Waterfalls, and Waimanu, while schools were closed at Pencarrow and Momona, so that at the end of tbe year 155 schools remained in operation. The average attendances for the respective quarters were —March, 14,486; June, 14,283; September, 14,442; December, 14,212. The average for the year was 14,356, an increase of 285 over the previous year. The average roll was 16,416. Included in the numbers were 197 Maoris and 108 half-castes in attendance at Board schools. The percentage of attendance was 87-4, which, compared with 86 - 7 in 1905, 847 in 1904, and 82-6 in 1903, shows an improvement of nearly 5 per cent, in three years. Further, while the average number of pupils on the roll was 920 greater than three years ago, the average attendance was 1,555 greater. The resolution to place the whole district under one Truant Officer has been well justified by satisfactory results. Practically all of the best conducted schools now show a satisfactory average of attendance. Some 17 children of school age, and previously enrolled, were sent to school. A number of neglected children were reported to the police, at whose instance they were committed to receiving homes or industrial schools. The total number thus committed, between five and fifteen years of age was—boys, 35, girls, 21. The practice of employing young children on tradesmen's deliverycarts during school-hours has been reduced. The Board desires again to express its obligation to Bench, police, head teachers and Press for valuable assistance. Careful study of school rolls shows that a very considerable number of parents, regardless of the welfare of their children, send them to school the bare minimum number of times required by law. In view of this practice it is worthy of consideration whether the time has not arrived for an amendment of the law. As the State pays for the education of all children who attend public schools, and requires the daily attendance of its teaching staff, there appears to be no valid reason why, in the absence of illness, the pupils should not be required to show equal regularity of attendance. Teaching Staff.—At the close of the year there were in the service of the Board 144 mala and 205 female teachers, 13 male and 75 female pupil-teachers—total, 157 males, 280 females, or 437 in all, an increase of 20 during the year. The corresponding numbers for 1905 were 144 males, 273 females, or 417 in all. The Board's Inspectors have repeatedly drawn attention to the insufficiency of the staff provided in several of the higher-grade schools, and to this criticism the Board desires to draw the Minister's attention with a view of providing, by an amendment of the Act, for a reduction in the number of pupils intrusted to one teacher in these grades where experience has shown that the strain is too great. The Board recognises that in the staffing of our schools the Department has made an honest endeavour to meet requirements ; and that in fact in a number of grades the staff is sufficient. While, however, the Inspector-General is able to show an average of only 33 pupils per teacher throughout the schools, it is also a fact that in this district in grades 15 to 24 (reckoning, in accordance with departmental regulation, one assistant to be equal to two pupil-teachers), the number under one teacher ranges from 51 to 71 pupils where the head teacher is excluded from the computation, as being engaged in general supervision; from 45 to 64 pupils where he is included. These being averages, it is unavoidable that in a number of instances the number per teacher is considerably larger than those quoted above; and the view of educational experts is that in present conditions, where so much individual attention is required, the best results cannot be looked for where the teacher is required to take charge of so large a number of pupils. Training of Teachers. —In the latter part of the year Saturday classes for teachers in singing, drawing, handwork, and physiology were held in addition to a course of lectures in nature-study. For Wairarapa teachers Saturday lectures on elementary agriculture were given at Masterton. Training College.—The Training College, which, at the time of writing the report of last year, was just about to begin operations, is now in full working. The number of students enrolled was 56, and it is expected that during the incoming year the College will have its full complement of 80 students. The students entered the institution in June, after being accommodated for-three months in the hall at the Board's office. Notwithstanding the difficulties incidental to separation from the practising school, a perusal of the Principal's report shows a good record of work, and is suggestive of a still larger field of future usefulness. It is especially pleasing to note the earnest efforts being made to keep the institution in touch with the needs of rural schools, and the Board trusts that the Principal's proposal for what may well be termed extension work will soon be carried into effect, and that regular contingents of teachers from the various parts of the Middle University District will annually enter the College for the purpose of keeping themselves abreast with modern educational movements. Scholarships.—There were held at the end of the year Junior Scholarships—Board 34, National-3, Queen's 2. On the results of the examination of December, 1906, there were awarded Junior Scholarships—Board 33, National 3, Queen's 1. For the Board Junior Scholarships there were 190 candidates; for Board's Senior Scholarships there were 17 candidates, 9of whom were awarded Senior Scholarships. District High Schools. — Ten district high schools have been in operation. The total averages increased from 314 in 1905 to 540 in 1906. Of the ten district high schools, two in the

81

E.—l

City of Wellington—one at Terrace and one at Newtown—are serving the temporary purpose of a high school. The Board is very desirous of seeing a new high school for Wellington erected as soon as possible in order that these schools may be relieved of what is not their legitimatejwork. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Capitation was earned by 120 schools in 1906 as compared with 110 in 1905. The subjects most widely taught were brushwork and plasticine modelling ; but classes were also recognised in elementary agriculture, 42 ; dressmaking 2 ; chemistry, 3; first aid and ambulance, 2; swimming, 2; botany, 1 ; physics, 3; cookery, Wellington (2), Pahiatua, and Wairarapa centres. Instruction in cookery has been carried on as in previous years at Terrace and Newtown centres, Wellington, but from the present year the work will be carried on at the new centres at the Training College and South Wellington. Masterton and Carterton in the Wairarapa have been provided with well-fitted rooms ; one is in course of erection at Levin ; application has been made for similar accommodation at Pahiatua and Greytown ; while suitable provision for the Hutt and Petone is still under consideration. A woodwork-room has been completed at the Training College, and one will shortly be erected at South Wellington, for which centres the services of a capable Instructor have been engaged. From the beginning of the year the management of instruction in agriculture was placed in the hands of Mr. W. C. Davies. The Board is well satisfied with the increased attention thus given to the study of elementary agriculture will be productive of much good. Forty-two schools earned capitation, and in the larger centres, especially of the Wairarapa, much has been done by local effort to aid the Board in producing the very best results. It is hoped that the work will be extended during the present year to other centres on the Manawatu line. The thanks of the Board are due to those public bodies and to individuals who have subscribed largely for providing properly prepared areas and suitable appliances for the work. The work of the Instructor has so increased that the Board decided to discontinue the joint arrangement with the Technical Education Board and to engage his whole time. Physical Training.—The Inspectors report that in all schools suitable physical exercises are regularly practised, and that there is a widening recognition of the importance of deep-breathing exercises. Military drill has received due attention. During the year a fourth battalion, embracing cadets of the Hutt and Manawatu Schools, was formed, under command of Major Burlinson. Medical Examination.—The Board has expressed general approval of the suggestions of the Health Department for the medical examination of school-children, but is of opinion that this work should not form an additional charge on the funds of the Board. Its proposal for the joint engagement by several Boards of the services of a medical man has not met with favourable response. The thanks of the Board are tendered to the Chief Health Officer for his suggestions in the matter, and to the members of the Dental Association, who undertook at Wellington and Hutt Schools an honorary examination of some 1,150 children. Their report discloses a condition of children's teeth so generally unsatisfactory as to claim the most earnest attention. Buildings.—During the past year the new South Wellington School, Training College additions, Masterton and Carterton District High School departments, and the new school at Northland— all in brick—have been the chief buildings erected. About two-thirds of the cost of additions to the new building at Carterton was met from the Board's ordinary building grant. In addition there have been erected additions at Te Horo and Martinborough. New residences have been erected at Konini, Scarborough, and Makara, and additions at Bideford and Parkvale residences. Outbuildings have been improved at 13, and fencing at 11 schools. Thorough repairs have been executed at 26 schools and 18 residences. The need of this district for additional accommodation and for proper house accommodation of teachers in remote districts has been fairly recognised by the Department, and in cases were need has been shown grants have generally been approved. Increases of attendance and establishment of new settlements must in the near future render necessary a number of additions, and the establishment of new schools. The chief works at present in hand are the erection of science and cookery rooms, Levin and South Wellington, additions at Manakau, and new residences at Korora, Te Horo, Rangitumau, and Mangatiti. The Board's decision that the Training College should serve not only for training in educational practice, but for observation and experiments with a view to the improvement of school furniture, should result as means permit in furnishing the schools with the most useful types of furniture and apparatus. Much attention has been given during the past year to the improvement of the school desk, and recently erected schools have been provided with desks of an improved type. The visit of the Chairman to England afforded the Board an opportunity of procuring a large quantity of pictures and apparatus, which on his return were distributed amongst the various schools of the district. The Board desires to express its appreciation of the interest in the commercial side of education displayed by the Chamber of Commerce, which presented prizes for proficiency in arithmetic, composition, and writing, to children attending city schools; of the work of the large number of committee members who have done much by personal effort and influence to promote the welfare of their respective schools ; and of the services of its administrative and teaching staffs. I have, Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Robert Lee, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir,— Education Office, Napier, 29th March, 1907. 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 Hawke's Bay for the year ending the 31st December, 1906. Board.—The Board consists of Messrs. T. Tanner (Chairman), W. C. Maddison, C. M. Whittington, representing the Middle Ward ; Rev. A. Grant, Pastor H. Ries, and Mr. O. Ericksen, representing the South Ward; and Messrs G. Darton, S. McLernon, and W. Morgan, representing the North Ward. Schools.—There were in operation at the beginning of the year 94 schools, including 10 " household " ones. Fourteen new schools were established and 7 closed, so that the number now in operation is 101, including "household" schools. A considerable increase in this number may be looked for during the coming year. Teachers.—The total number of teachers is 250—88 males, 162 females. There is a great dearth of teachers, and a large proportion of those in the service are uncertificated. The superannuation scheme is now in operation, and on the 31st December 114 of our teachers were contributors. Attendances.—The roll-number of scholars at the end of 1906 was 9,149, an increase of 279 or the year. This number includes 644 Maoris and half-castes. The average attendance for the year was 7,899, equal to about 863 per cent, of the roll-number. The daily absence of 1,250 children from school is a very serious matter, and the Board has now resolved to enforce attendance in accordance with the Act. Scholarships.—The scholarships under tenure at the end of the year were—Junior National, 5; Board's Junior, 22; Board's Senior, 6: total, 33. District High Schools.—Three district high schools have been maintained during the year, having a total roll-number in December of 105. Buildings.—Nine new buildings have been erected during the year. These include the fine buildings at Gisborne and Kaiti. The requests for new schools and additions to present buildings are largely increasing.

X.-l

Finance.—The Board began the year with a credit balance of £2,017 ss. lOd. The balance at the end of the year was £4,741 ss. sd. The Board had agaiii spent more on new buildings than the amounts granted therefor by the Department. £317 15s. 2d. has been expended in this way during the year, so that new buildings have now encroached on the ordinary grant to the extent of £4,659 lis. lOd. Training of Teachers. —A large number of teachers availed themselves of the instruction given at the Saturday classes. Instruction was given in agriculture, cookery, woodwork, dressmaking, and drawing. The Board has now resolved that examinations shall be held periodically in the subjects in which instruction is being given at these classes, and that in making future appointments the work done by teachers in connection with training-classes shall be taken into consideration. Manual and Technical. —There has been considerable extension of classes during the year. Instruction in cookery and dressmaking was given at Gisborne, Napier, Hastings, and Dannevirke; and in woodwork at Gisborne, Napier, and Hastings. New technical buildings are in course" of erection at Dannevirke, Hastings, and Waipawa, and a grant of £4,500 has been obtained towards a technical school for Napier, so that during the coming year a great development in technical education may be looked for. Drill.—Military drill continues to receive special attention in the large majority of schools. Many of the teachers are well qualified to instruct the children in this important aspect of school training. The cadet companies already established bear as large a proportion to the pupils attending the Board schools as do the companies to the children in any other educational district. In some cases the girls are trained to march with the boys, and they acquit themselves with equal credit. Of course, calisthenics form a special occupation for the girls, and in most of the larger schools the subject is excellently taught. Office Staff. —During the year Mr. G. T. Fannin, who has served the Board for nearly thirty years as Secretary and Treasurer, resigned. The Board desires to place on record its appreciation of his long and faithful service.

MARLBOROUGH. Sir,— Blenheim, 13th May, 1907. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Marlborough, for the year ending the 31st December, 1906. Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following gentlemen : Messrs. J. C. Chaytor, John Duncan, A. J. Litchfield, R. McCallum, W. H. Macey, W. B. Parker, Alfred George Fell, Charles Ferguson, and J. J. W. White. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," the whole of the Board retired in July, having previously divided the district into three wards, named respectively, the Eastern, Central, and Western Wards. Mr. Fell resigned in the month of June, and three other old members— Messrs. Chaytor, Duncan, and Ferguson, did not offer themselves for re-election. Four of the members of the old Board were re-elected, the results of the elections were as follows: For the Eastern Ward—John Conolly, William Henry Macey, and William Benoni Parker ; for the Central Ward—Richard McCallum, Edward Henry Penny, and John James Winsbury White; for the Western Ward—Harry Marsh Reader, William Bramwell Scott, and John Sumner Storey. At the first meeting of the newly elected Board, in the month of August, Mr. R. McCallum was unanimously elected Chairman. The Board held fourteen meetings during the year. The average attendance at these meetings was about 73. Schools. —The number of schools at the end of 1905 was 67 ; but of this number 38 were schools in Grade 0. The number of schools that have been in operation during the year is 75. One of these was permanently closed, and 5 were temporarily closed, awaiting the appointment of teachers. The number open at the end of the year was 69. The large proportion of schools in Grade 0 in this district (52 out of 75, or about 2 to 1) is one of the disadvantages under which this district labours. Every school, however small, is a source of expense to the Board, and, as has been repeatedly pointed out in former reports from this Board, a glance at the map of the County of Sounds, and the northern portion of the County of Marlborough will show that there is no middle course between supporting these small schools, or absolutely debarring a large number of children from all the advantages of the education system. Even as it is, the children who live in these remote and isolated situations are far less fortunate than those in other parts of the district. In the first place, it is by no means easy to obtain teachers of any kind for the poor salaries afforded by the capitation alone, and the parents are required to supply free board and lodging in addition. Schools also are frequently and unavoidably closed for one or two quarters until a fresh teacher can be obtained. This of itself, is a serious handicap upon the children, but to that must be added the disadvantage of being taught, in many cases, by persons very little more advanced than a Sixth Standard scholar at any of the large schools. Excellent work, however, is done at some of these schools, as will be noticed in the Inspector's report, and on these there is not much more to be desired. Manual and Technical.—Full details of the work done in this district will be found in the Inspector's report, and it is hoped soon to make suitable arrangements for buildings at Havelock and Picton for cookery, and possibly woodwork classes. The Technical School at Blenheim will also require two additional rooms, one for science, and one with fittings necessary for teaching such subjects as drawing and building-construction. Wards.—lt is hoped that the experiment of dividing the several education districts into wards will soon be abandoned or left to the discretion of the Boards. In this district the climax of absurdity is surely reached when, in the Western Ward, one Committee having only 81 children in 16 schools could outvote the other ten Committees in the same ward having control over 391 children, by 112 to 77. Franking.—The withdrawal of the franking privilege that was conferred on the Boards at the first inception of the education system, is, in the opinion of- this Board, an unnecessary and unjustifiable encroachment on the few privileges yet remaining to Education Boards. The only reason given for this action of the Government is the assertion that the privilege has been greatly abused. If the Post Office authorities have at any time been in a position to prove the existence of such abuse, it was surely their duty to denounce the guilty parties and make them suffer the consequences, and not to cast an imputation of dishonesty on every person having the privilege of franking. The expenses and n nvenience of this parsimonious act of the Government will not only press heavily upon the already insufficient revenue of this Board, but will be a real burden upon the poorly paid teachers of the numerous small schools in the outlying districts. Inasmuch as all the moneys expended by Education Boards are found by the Government (including this additional expense) there does not appear to be any reason for the new departure, except a desire to swell the receipts of the Postal Department by practically diminishing those of another branch of the public service. Drill. —The inspector reports that physical instruction was well taught in all the leading schools. Only four household schools neglected the subject. Breathing-exercises were practised in eighteen schools. The North Marlborough company had not yet at the Inspector's visit received a sufficiency of miniature rifles. In March last our highly esteemed and worthy Secretary, Mr. John Smith, resigned his position. It is now over sixteen years since he was first appointed to the dual position of Inspector and Secretary to the Board. Advancing years (although still mentally and physically vigorous and capable), as well as increased duties and responsibilities, caused him to give up the inspectorship some three years ago. The Board have,nothing but the highest praise to bestow on

85

E.—l

Mr. Smith for his long, faithful, and most efficient services in the capacities mentioned. To apply to him the description of " one of Nature's gentlemen " would be to say no more than his character amply warrants, and his claim to the title would be readily conceded by all who have been brought into intimate contact with him. Possessed of a broad and tolerant mind, he has left a lasting imprint on the annals of our education system of Marlborough. I have, Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education. R. McCallum, Chairman.

NELSON. Sir,— Education Office, Nelson, 18th March, 1907. I have the honour to lay before you the report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board for the year 1906. The Board.—As the result of the election of members of the Board in July last, under the new system of wards, the following gentlemen constitute the Board—viz. : Messrs. A. T. Maginnity (Chairman), W. Lock, F. W. O. Smith, East Ward; W. N. Franklyn, J. D. Bsuke, T. J. Baigent Middle Ward; T. Bailie, J. W. Fair, and G. B. Shepherd, West Ward. Meetings of the Board.—The Board has held twenty-five meetings during the year, the average attendance at each meeting being eight. Primary Schools.—At the close of the year 1905 there were 112 schools in operation, and in analogy with the year previous a number of minor schools have been closed and others opened in different parts of the district. The Whakarewa Orphanage School has been taken over by the Board, to which the Pangatotara School has been made a side school. A new school has been opened at Takaka West to accommodate the settlers on the western side of the river at the upper end of the settled valley, some of whose children formerly attended Hilldan household school, the latter being now closed. The Mission School at Whangarae, in the Croixelles, has been taken over by the Board, and made a public school under the Education Act. The little school at Shaggery River, which was in operation up to the end of 1905, was not opened in 1906. Efforts were made to perfect safe arrangements for ferrying the children across the Motueka River in order to enable them to attend Pangatotara School, but, these failing, they were forced to attend the Brooklyn School. During the year the Gibbstown School was closed owing to the exodus of the population, the few children remaining in that locality being sent to Lyell School. In both the

12-E. 1.

E.-l.

latter cases the schools were about three miles apart. In the City of Nelson the Eastern and Western Infant Schools were made side schools to the Main Boys' and Toi Toi Valley Girls' Schools respectively. At the end of the year the schools in operation numbered 108. Attendance of Scholars.—The slight- gain in the roll-number and average attendance noticed last year has been maintained, the numbers for the last and the previous years being as follows : 1905—R011-number, 5,607; average attendance, 4,830-75 : 1906—R011-number, 5,612 ; average attendance, 4,837 - 75. Physical Instruction.—Physical instruction in one or other of its many forms continues to be imparted in every school under the control of the Board. Cadet corps are maintained in connection with fifteen schools. The No. 1 Cadet Battalion comprises all corps in and around Westport, and the corps in Nelson and neighbourhood constitute the No. 2 Battalion. Buildings.—During the year a new school has been erected at Tadmor in place of the one burnt down the previous year. New schools have also been erected at Puponga and Takaka West. Additions have been made to the schools at Collingwood, Granity Creek, Murchisou, and Motueka Valley, the latter building being first removed to Tapawera, at the junction of the Tadmor and Motueka Valleys. An addition has also been made to the headmaster's house at Murchison. All these works have been carried out by means of special grants from the Department, and the Board desires to place on record its appreciation of the manner in which most of its applications for assistance have been received. Competitive designs were invited for a new school for girls on the Shelbourne Street site in Nelson, and the Board hopes to have the new building in hand at an early date, a suitable design having been fixed upon. Superannuation.—The Board congratulates the Department on its endeavour to perfect the Superannuation Act of 1905 as evidenced by the amending Act passed last year, and again expresses the hope that it will be so administered that the beneficent measures will prove of the utmost advantage to old and deserving teachers. Technical Instruction.—The Nelson Technical School has been fairly well attended during the year, no marked falling-off in attendance at the various classes having taken place except in those for architectural and mechanical drawing. During the year technical classes have been held in the following subjects —viz. : Architectural and mechanical drawing, woodwork, dressmaking, plumbing, drawing, painting, modelling, cookery, wood-carving, and mathematics ; continuation classes in English, Arithmetic, French, shorthand, and book-keeping. A commercial class, comprising shorthand, typewriting, and book-keeping, was commenced during the year, and is very much appreciated. Technical classes have also been held at the following schools : Reefton, dressmaking ; Wakefield, cookery, dressmaking, and a commercial class comprising shorthand, typewriting, and book-keeping. School classes for dressmaking and cookery have been held at Richmond and Wakefield, and for cookery and woodwork at the Nelson Technical School, dressmaking being taught at the Toi Toi Valley School. School classes in woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking have also been held at the Reefton Technical School. Teachers' classes in the following subjects have been held in Nelson —viz. : Drawing, woodwork, wood-carving, physics, and chemistry. In thirty-nine of the public schools of the district, including nearly all the larger schools, handwork has been taught in one or other of its many forms. A building for technicalschool purposes has been erected at Wakefield, and the technical classes which during the past year have been held at great inconvenience in the kitchen of the teacher's house and in the old school building will be transferred to the new school ou the reassembling of the pupils after the hop-picking holidays. Technical School and School of Mines for Westport.—The Board has again to express its regret that no progress has been made during the year in this matter, but it is hoped that after the recent interview between the Minister of Mines, the Committee of the School of Mines, and a representative of the Education Department some definite decision will be arrived at. Westport is an important centre, and one in which such a combined institution should prove of incalculable value. It is only fair to record the fact that every endeavour has been made by the Board to accelerate the progress of this work. In conjunction with the neighbouring Education Boards of Marlborough, Grey, and Westland, an Instructor in Agriculture has been appointed in the person of Mr. James Bruce, lately of the Dunedin Technical School; and it is expected that this important subject will be now taken up with interest in most of the schools in these education districts. The Instructor informs the Board that the institution of a chemical laboratory is an essential to the carrying-on of his work, and application for a grant for the building has already been made. Secondary Education.—The roll-number and average attendance respectively at the three district high schools under the control of the Board for the year was—Westport, 41-50, 37; Reefton, 18-25, 17 ; Motueka, 17, 14-25. The Board received an application during the year from the Lower Takaka School Committee to establish a district high school at Lower Takaka, so that all children in the Takaka Valley might be within easy reach of the advantages of higher education. The application has been granted by the Government, and, as it is intended that the instruction of the pupils shall be specialised in the direction of studies suited to their environment and ultimate avocations in life, it is hoped and believed that this school, with the other three high schools mentioned, will prove of very great value to the rising generation. Finance.—At the beginning of the year the Board had a debit balance of £152 Bs. 3d. on the General Account and a credit balance of £1,142 12s. lid. on the Building Account. At the end of the year tne debit balance'on the General Account was reduced to £111 13s 5d., while the credit balance on the Building Account was £3,073 6s. 6d. I have, Ac, A. T. Maginnity, Chairman, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

GREY. Sir, — Education Office, Greymouth, 13th May, 1907. I have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Grey for the year ending the 31st December, 1906. Board.—-The old Board, consisting of Messrs. John Byrne (Chairman). James Kerr (Treasurer), John Flynn, S. R. Harris, W. R. Kettle, Jeremiah McCarthy, Joseph Petrie, Frank White, and Hon. James Marshall, retired voluntarily as at the 23rd July. At the July election, under the ward system, the following members were returned : For the Northern Ward—Messrs. Kerr, Joseph Noble, and John Ryall; for the Eastern Ward—Hon. Mr. Marshall, and Messrs. White and McCarthy ; and for the Western Ward—Messrs. Harry Bignell, Kettle, and Byrne. Messrs. Ryall and Byrne tied with other candidates for their respective seats and their election was completed by lot. A petition to upset Mr. Ryall's election was dismissed with costs. At the annual meeting Mr. James Kerr was elected Chairman, and Mr. W. R. Kettle Treasurer. The new Board as thus constituted held office for the remainder of the year. Although in the Grey District all members have worked unitedly for the common good, I am of opinion that the ward system of election is not as good as the district constituency. It is more possible under the ward system for narrow parochial matters, rather than broad general principles, to influence casting of votes, and by joining forces the members of any two wards are in a position, to benefit at the expense of the third. lam also in favour of the old system of each committeeman exercising one vote only, not one for each school as at present. In this district at last election we had a Committee of seven members exercising twenty-eight votes in respect of four schools, of a total average attendance of thirty-one, and another Committee exercising nine votes for a school with an average attendance of 442. Schools.—At the beginning of the year thirty-one schools were in operation, but at the end of June Noble's and Poerua Schools, owing to removal of children, had to be closed. The average attendance was 1,338, as compared with 1,381 for the previous year. Teachers.—At the end of the year there were in the employ of the Board 56 teachers— 12 males and 44 females. Of the.se 10 were head teachers, 21 sole teachers, 19 assistant teachers, and 6 pupil-teachers. Secondary Education.—The attendance of the secondary department of the Greymouth District High School so increased that a second assistant was appointed for the last quarter of the year. The work of this department shows considerable improvement.

87

E.—l.

Scholarships.—At the December examinations ten candidates presented for Board Scholarships and four qualified. The Junior National Scholarship was won by a pupil'of the Greymouth District High School, who also won a Board Scholarship. Electing to accept the latter, the Junior Scholarship was awarded to the next in order of merit, who was alsofa pupil of the o Greymouth District High School. Drill.—Another cadet detachment was formed during the year, and the work done by the cadets generally was of a most satisfactory nature. Though not in the period under review, it will be in place to refer to the excellent results attending the cadet encampment held in Christchurch at the time of the New Zealand International Exhibition. Educationally, physically, and in discipline and drill, the results achieved surpassed the most sanguine anticipations of the promoters of the movement. Technical Instruction. —In August the authorised portion of the new Technical School building was completed, and for the remainder of the year two woodwork held with most gratifying results. This year advantage is being taken of the opportunities offered for the advancement of technical education and teachers and school-children are deriving great benefit therefrom. In three of the principal schools hand and eye work received considerable attention. Finance. —The year opened with a debit balance of £318 lis. 3d. on General Account and £100 2s. 6d. on Building Account; it closes with a debit of £132 18s. 2d. on General Account and a credit of £589 13s. 3d. on Building Account. Practically, however, the whole of the Building balance is pledged for the prosecution of necessary works. The Board hasjstinitiated a drastic system of economy, with the intention of placing all accounts in credit, and this policy is being staunchly supported by every member. Obituary.—ln this review my Board join in making special reference to the irreparable loss sustained by the colony, and more particularly the Grey Education District, by the decease of the late Right Hon. Richard John Seddon and Inspector Harry Smith. Staff Changes.—Mr. C. Phillips resigned the position of Secretary as from the Ist May, and Mr. P. F. Daniel was appointed his successor.

WESTLAND. Sib, — Education Office, Hokitika, 12th February, 1907. I have the honour to present the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending the 31st December, 1906. The Board. —In accordance with " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," all the members retired in August, and the result of the election for the respective wards was as follows : North—Messrs. J. S. Benyon, T. V. Byrne, and T. W. Duff. Middle—Messrs. T. W. Beare, J. J. Clarke, and G. A. Perry. South—Messrs. T. W. Bruce, A. Cumming, and H. L. Michel. Mr. Michel was elected Chairman and Mr. Clarke Treasurer. In October Mr. Benyon retired and Mr. Robert Rouse was elected to fill the vacancy by the members of the School Committees of the North Ward. The Board has since the election made representations relating to the change in the method of election of members with especial reference to the unsuitable nature of the ward system in small districts. In the Board's opinion the change was unnecessary and inappropriate. Earlier in the year, Mr. Michel was reappointed as representative of the Board on the Hokitika High School Board of Governors, and Mr. Grimmond has continued to act as the School Commissioner appointed by the Board. Thirteen meetings of the Board have been held during the year, and the average attendance of members was six. Schools.—The number of schools open at the beginning of the year was thirty-three. During the year the Wataroa Household School was closed and the Upper Otira opened, thus leaving the number of schools unaltered. In addition, five Catholic schools 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 40. This number included 5 holders of the Board's scholarships, 2of the Junior National Scholarships, and lof a Queen's Scholarship. The official report on the class and the result of the colonial examinations held at the end of the year prove that the class has very fully maintained its efficiency. Of the seven pupils presented for the Matriculation Examination, all were successful, and 14 have passed the Junior Civil Service Examination, 13 with credit. Attendance.—The roll-number has for the first time for several years been maintained, showing an increase of eleven, The average attendance in nearly all the schools has been high, and the percentage for the whole district is 88-8. Teachers.—The 48 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 the teachers, other than pupil-teachers, in schools above twenty in average attendance, 21 possess certificates, 1 a license to teach, and lis uncertificated. In schools below twenty in average attendance, lis certificated, 4 have licenses to teach, and 15 are uncertificated. Scholarships.—All the holders of scholarships mentioned as attending the secondary class belong to the district. The annual value of the Board's scholarships in force was two of £24, one of £20, one of £10, and one of £4. These are all tenable for two years, and the variation in the amount is according to distance of residence from the District High School. As the result of the examination held at the end of the year, the Board allotted two scholarships of the annual value of £10, and three of £4. Manual and Technical Classes.—The following information relating to the various classes recognised by the Education Department is presented : (1.) A teacher's instruction class in naturestudy was held during the year. Two terms, each with a special course, were occupied under the tuition of Miss Olliver, M.A., B.Sc, and proved very profitable to the teachers, the average rollnumber being 24. (2.) Two special evening classes—one in woodwork and one in commercial subjects, were held under the instruction of Mr. H. G. Wake, 8.A., headmaster of the District High School. The roll-numbers were respectively 27 and 28, and the attendance and interest were fully maintained. (3.) Two woodwork classes were continued during the year. (4.) Six school classes in handwork were in force in the larger schools, and in three schools under a male sole teacher capitation was received by extra instructors in needlework. In addition, handwork was included in the course of instruction in the junior classes of a number of other schools. The supply of the necessary apparatus for the science room of the Technical School has been completed, and, although the attempt to form an evening class in chemistry failed, the room is expected to prove of service during the present year in connection with special classes, including one for teachers. Owing to the failure in conjunction with the Grey Board to obtain a qualified teacher for cookery classes, none have been held during the year. At present arrangements are in train by which this useful branch of education will receive full attention in the immediate future. Tbe Board has made arrangements in conjunction with the Nelson, Marlborough, and Grey Education Boards by which an instructor in agriculture will during the present year visit the district and establish instruction in this subject on a satisfactory basis. Physical Instruction.—The three cadet corps of the district have continued in operation, and a special course of physical instruction has been included in the syllabus of fourteen schools. Finance.—The balance-sheet shows in the General Account a credit balance of £2 Is. 3d. Receipts in the Building Fund amount to £1,747, including £235 for new school buildings and £141 14s. 9d. for technical purposes. The expenditure, including a debit balance at the beginning of the year of £89 9s. 2d., is £1,350 9s. 4d., leaving a credit balance of £773 ss. sd. I have, Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education. H. L. Michel, Chairman.

NORTH CANTERBURY. Sir,— Christchurch, 22nd May, 1907. 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, 1906 : — The Board.—Early in the year Mr. G. W. Russell resigned his position as member of the Board. Acting under the advice of its solicitors, who were of opinion that at that time there was no provision for filling a casual vacancy, the Board took no steps in the matter. On the fourth Monday of July, 1906, under the provisions of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," which provides for the division of each education district into three wards, an election of nine members was held, the result being as follows : North Ward—Mr. Thomas William Adams, Mr. Matthew Dalziel, jun., Mr. David Buddo; Central Ward—Mr. Thomas Wiiliam Rowe, M.A., LL.B., Mr. James Hight, M.A., Litt. D., Mr. John Jamieson; South Ward—Mr. Charles Albert Creery Haidy, Mr. Henry William Peryman, Mr. John Rennie. At a meeting held on the Bth August, Mr. Buddo was elected Chairman of the Board. The Board held seventeen meetings during the year. The Board's Representatives.—Mr. Buddo continued to represent the Board as Commissioner of Education Reserves. At its meeting on the 4th April the Board elected representatives on the several High School Boards as follows: Akaroa, Mr. W. H. Montgomery; Ashburton, Mr. A. Orr, the Rev. G. B. Inglis ; Rangiora, Mr. H. Boyd. Buildings.—There has been no falling-off in the number of applications for repairs and improvements to the school buildings in the North Canterbury Education District. On the contrary, the cases requiring attention have been so numerous that some dffficulty has been experienced in dealing with them. Four new schools have been erected during the year, and substantial additions were made to eight schools. Many school buildings have been either repaired or improved during the year, the expenditure amounting in the aggregate to a large sum. Apart from small additions to schools, it is often necessary, as circumstances alter, to give head teachers more accommodation in their homes. The Board is pleased to learn, from an assurance recently given by the Minister, that the terms of the next appropriation for school buildings will be so extended as to enable the Board to continue to deal with these cases without reference to the Department. The total expenditure on new schools, additions, and school-sites during 1906, including the cost of maintenance, was £15,020 18s. 6d., more than double the expenditure shown as having been incurred during the previous year. The Board's decision to adopt the dual desk for new schools and additions and for the replacing of old worn-out furniture has received some criticism. The chief considerations which weighed with the Board were the cost of the desks and the inadequate accommodation at many

90

E.—l.

schools, and the need of increased staffs if single desks should be introduced. The Board is of opinion that these difficulties have not been fully realised by the advocates of the single desk, and that until they have been satisfactorily settled it would be a serious mistake to initiate a policy which is at present impracticable, and if attempted would inevitably lead to much embarrassment. The Board has quite recently received an intimation from the Department to the effect that the Government cannot see its way to provide more than 10 square feet of floor-space for each child in average attendance. In these circumstances, and as not less than 14 square feet of space is required for the proper instalment of the single desk, the Board finds that its adoption of a comfortable up-to-date dual desk, with back-rest, will receive the approval of School Committees and parents generally, and be regarded by them as an earnest endeavour to meet the necessity of improving the seating accommodation provided for their children in primary schools. It may be pointed out that the Board has to meet the expenditure on new furniture out of its ordinary revenue, no increased grant having been made for the purpose. Towards the end of the year the Board lost the valued services of its architect, Mr. P. E. Schmidt, to whose care the responsible task of meeting the many and varied requirements of the Board's schools has been intrusted for many years. School Districts. — Three new school districts were formed at the end of 1906.—viz., Hanmer Plains, Port Hills (now Cashmere), and Wharenui. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including 20 aided schools, was 209. Maintenance.—The expenditure during the year on salaries and allowances to teachers engaged in primary departments was £62,939 2s. 10d., and grants to School Committees and other incidental expenses (inclusive of special grant of 9d.) £6,759 16s. 3d., making a total of £69,698 19s. Id. The average attendances on which payment of salaries and incidentals was generally made were 16,925 and 16,884 respectively, the cost per head of salaries being £3 145.4£ d., and that of incidental expenses Bs., making a total of £4 2s. 4-|d. per head. With two teachers less in its service, the total amount paid in salaries during 1906 showed an increase of £4,974, as compared with the payments of 1905, this increase representing the monetary benefits conferred on the Board's teachers by " The Education Act Amendment, 1905." The salaries of the teachers engaged in secondary departments amounted in the aggregate to £3,591 2s. 2d., being also a considerable advance on the expenditure under this head during 1905. Return No. 8 shows the amount spent in each school for salaries and incidentals during the year. At the end of 1906 there were 518 teachers in the Board's service. Of these, 204 (114 males and 90 females) were heads of schools or departments, or in sole charge ; 204 (45 males and 159 females) were assistants; and 110 (30 males and 80 females) were pupil-teachers. The number of sewing-mistresses employed was 25. Irregular Attendance.-—When first appointed, the Truant Officer, by direction of the Board, confined his attention to the city and suburban districts. Of late years, however, the sphere of his work has been considerably enlarged, the Board having decided that assistance should be given to Committees in flagrant cases of irregular attendance in country districts. During the year, 1,736 cases were investigated, of which 84 were taken to Court. Seventeen of the latter were dismissed, the fines in connection with the remainder amounting to £10 13s. The Truant Officer reports a growing tendency on the part of some parents to send their children to work, whereas under the provisions of the Act they should really be in attendance at school. Such misguided action is deplorable, and indicates an almost entire absence of regard for the real welfare of the children. The Board would urge School Committees and head teachers to give all the assistance they can in these cases, some of which present more than the usual difficulties. Training College.—The work of the Training College has now been carried on for three years under the new conditions. The scheme, originating with the parliamentary Committee and elaborated by the Department, has already been modified in several directions, and cannot yet be said to be working quite smoothly. Many years ago, when the Board's Training College was more self-con-tained, there were not so many conflicting interests to deal with as is now the case. In his reDort the Principal refers to the difficulties that exist as regards co-ordinating the work of the Training College with that of the University. The Board believes that for the most part these difficulties will disappear as the aims of those responsible for the new scheme for the training of teachers become more generally understood, and it hopes that in his endeavour to carry the new scheme to a successful issue the Principal of the Training College will have the hearty support and co-opera-tion of the institutions at which part of the students' courses of work is necessarily carried on. The results of the examination, as shown on statement accompanying the Principal's annual report, have proved very satisfactory. That such gratifyiug results should have been secured notwithstanding the many drawbacks encountered is evidence of the capable direction under which the students have been trained, as it also is of the earnest and thorough manner in which their studies have been pursued. As most of the students who enter under Division Bof the regulations have had little or no experience in school methods and management, their technical professional training is a matter of the first importance and one to which the Principal has rightly drawn attention. The Board hopes with Mr. Watkins that some way may be found to improve the conditions under which this part of the students' work is carried on. Inspection.—ln addition to the usual statistical information, the Inspectors' comprehensive report deals with a number of matters of more than ordinary interest, to which special attention may well be directed. The Board is pleased to learn that in the great majority of schools more attention has been bestowed upon schemes of work and to the keeping of prescribed records, and it desires to heartily commend the teachers whose duties in this direction have been performed so

91

E.-l.

satisfactorily. In common with its Inspectors, however, the Board wishes to warn those teachers who have neglected this part of their school-work that a repetition of the omission will not be allowed to pass unnoticed. The Board notes that with a number of its smaller schools the Inspectors consider the formal examination still necessary in order to judge as to the efficiency of the individual pupils. Though well aware of the desire often expressed that examinations should be entirely done away with, the Board is by no means sure that such a course would be in the best interests of the pupils. Many children, especially in the country districts, now pass out of the schools before reaching Standard VI, and without having gained a standard certificate of any kind. If it could be clearly shown that these pupils had received that mental equipment which the successful passing of a formal test was previously accepted as proof of, the Board would be more satisfied. The difficulty of staffing the schools in the lowest grade, commented upon by the Inspectors, does not so much arise from the dearth of teachers as from disinclination on the part of ex-students and others to accept the charge of schools at a distance from the more important centres. Of late years the issue of free passes to attend approved classes has very largely increased, and it is only natural that in cases where this privilege cannot be exercised teachers should accept appointment with some reluctance. The remedy would appear to be in the payment of higher salaries to teachers in charge of schools in isolated or remote districts, although parents and others directly interested in these schools can undoubtedly lessen the Board's difficulties by doing their utmost to make the teachers comfortable and contented in their new surroundings. The Board's experience has shown that the centralisation of schools in hilly districts is impracticable and in all districts difficult of accomplishment, as any proposal in that direction invariably meets with opposition by the settlers interested. There are, however, some districts having good level roads which are admirably adapted for the conveyance of children to one central school. Several such cases have recently been dealt with, and the Board is hopeful that the residents will accept and carry out the conditions under which the Government make a grant for the conveyance of children to school, as, in view of the small salary offering, the only alternative in sparsely populated districts would be half-time schools. The vacancy on the inspectorate, caused by the resignation of Dr. W. J. Anderson, has been filled by the appointment of Mr. E. K. Mulgan, M.A., whose previous experience as Inspector of Schools well qualifies him for the position, and who has entered upon his duties with energy and enthusiasm. Scholarships.—The annual examinations for scholarships were held on the 18th December and following days. The number of competitors for the junior scholarships was 67 (35 boys and 32 girls), and for those of the senior class 15 (9 boys and 6 girls). There were 6 senior scholarships and 16 scholarships of the junior class. In view of the large number of examinations teachers have now to prepare their pupils for, the Board has agreed that in future its senior and junior scholarships shall be awarded on the results of the Junior Civil Service and the National Scholarships Examinations respectively, of which head teachers have been informed. There were 38 candidates for the four National Scholarships allotted to the North Canterbury Education District. There were 8 candidates for the two Gammack Scholarships. Manual and Technical Instruction.—During the year 1906 several important developments took place in connection with manual and technical instruction. The appointment of Mr. J. H. Howell, 8.A., B.Sc, as Director of the Christchurch Technical Classes, and the energetic action taken by the Board of Managers in the matteis of the erection of suitable buildings and the formation of classes in a variety of subjects, have been followed by good results, the work now being on a sound footing and of much promise. The question of manual training (cookery and woodwork), discussed at some length in a valuable report submitted by the Inspectors, has received further attention. After carefully considering the Inspectors' report and the recommendations of Mr. Howell, who has been appointed to direct and supervise the work, the Board has felt justified in extending the scope of its school classes by arranging for the engagement of two thoroughly trained instructors in woodwork, and one in cookery, for the pupils of Standards VI and V. Under the supervision of its Director, and with the co-operation of the headmasters, the Board hopes to have the scheme in full working-order by the end of the present year. As indicated in last year's report, the Board has appointed an instructor in agriculture in order to further the maintenance of classes in nature-study and practical agriculture, and to assist in the establishment of school gardens. Mr. G. Rennie was selected for the position from among several applicants, and the Board is well pleased with the zeal and energy he has brought to bear upon his duties. The Board is hopeful that the Department will renew the special grant made last year towards the cost of this new work, which can hardly fail to be of much benefit to the children attending the country schools. District High Schools.—The number of district high schools has remained stationary. The suggested disestablishment of the Christchurch West District High School does not commend itself to this Board, which concurs in the views expressed at a recent conference—viz., that there is ample scope in Christchurch for the day classes about to be established by the Managers of the Seddon Technical College and those held at the Christchurch West District High School. Evening Classes. —Towards the commencement of the winter of 1906, in response to an application received from the Managers of the Christchurch Technical Classes, the Board established evening classes at the Gloucester Street, St. Albans (main), and Sydenham Schools, in order that pupils who had left school without gaining a certificate of proficiency in the Sixth Standard might have another opportunity of obtaining such a certificate, and thereby qualify for a Junior Technical Scholarship. The attendance at'the St. Albans and Sydenham centres did not justify a continuance of the classes beyond the end of the year. Physical Instruction.—lnstruction in physical exercises has of late years received considerable attention from the Board's teachers, many of whom have a practical knowledge of the subject,

92

E.—l..

The fact, however, that in several cases physical exercises were directed by those who possessed insufficient knowledge of the subject caused the Board, on the recommendation of its Inspectors, to establish classes in physical culture for the benefit of those teachers who from varying causes had been unable to keep themselves abreast of modern developments. Mr. T. S. Tankard and Miss X Menzies were appointed the Board's instructors in physical culture, and the classes held by them have been well attended, and at the date of this report still attract a large number of teachers. I have, Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education. D. Buddo, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTERBURY. Sib, — Education Office, Timaru, Ist March, 1907. In accordance with the provisions of section 166 of "The Education Act, 1904," I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury for the year ending the 31st December, 1906. The Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Messrs. G. W. Armitage, J.P., William M. Hamilton, C. S. Howard, William B. Howell, J.P., John Jackson, J.P., J. S. Rutherford, J.P., Thomas Sherratt, John Talbot, J.P., and the Rev. G. Barclay, J.P. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," all the members retired during the year, and the district was divided into three wards for the purposes of the election of the Board. The election resulted in the return of Messrs. Rutherford, Sherratt, and Armitage for the North Ward ; Messrs. Howell, Jackson, and Howard for the Middle Ward ; and the Rev. G. Barclay and Messrs. Hamilton and G. Lyall for the South Ward. Mr. Talbot did not seek re-election, and retired from the Board after a membership of over twentythree years. Mr. W. B. Howell was elected Chairman of the Board for the eleventh time in succession. The Board held twelve ordinary and three special meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being eight. Mr. Ritchings Grant was appointed Director of Technical Education. The Schools.—There were 76 schools in operation at the end of the year, this being an increase of 2 for the year. One school was closed, and 3 new schools were opened. Teachers.—At the end of the year there were 152 teachers in the Board's service, 132 adults and 20 pupil-teachers, 56 males and 96 females. There was a decrease of 3 in the males and an increase of Bin the female teachers during the year. Eleven pupil-teachers completed their apprenticeship at the beginning of the year, of whom 9 entered the Training College 8t Christchurch and 1 at Dunedin. As in the previous year, the Board found it impossible to get certificated teachers for many of the small schools, and for some junior positions in the larger schools of the district. At the end of the year 19 adult uncertificated teachers were employed. A few of these teachers are doing good work, but in the majority of cases the state of efficiency of the schools in the charge of uncertificated inexperienced teachers leaves much to be desired. Superannuation.—One hundred and thirty-six teachers and others in the Board's service became contributors to the fund. Four of these contributors retired on the funds during the year, 3 having reached the age-limit, and 1 being compelled to resign through continued ill health. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examinations were held in December, the number of candidates being—for the Board's Junior Scholarship, 26 ; for the Board's Senior Scholarship, 20 ; for the Junior National Scholarship, 10. All the examinations were conducted by the Education Department, the junior candidates for the first time sitting for the same examination as candidates for Junior National Scholarships. Five senior and 10 junior scholarships, of the annual value of £165, were awarded on the results of three examinations. The Junior National Scholarship was awarded to a pupil of the Temuka District High School, this being the fourth year in succession in which the scholarship was won by a pupil of that school. Physical Drill. —This subject has received due attention in almost all our schools during the year. Cadet companies have been formed for the instruction of the boys in military drill in the eight largest schools. Attendance.—The roll-number at the end of the year shows an increase of 49 over that of the previous year, and the yearly average attendance (4,565) an increase of 64. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly roll-number for the four quarters was 88-2, the same as for the year 1905; and, as that year was a record for the district in regularity of attendance, it is satisfactory to know that the record has been maintained. Buildings.—Among the more important new works undertaken during 1906 were the erection of three residences, an addition to a residence and to a school. The usual expenditure was incurred in painting and repairs ; and, as the Board's buildings, which are nearly all of wood, become older, the cost of these repairs becomes a greater tax on the Board's finances. The Board has also under consideration the provision of better office accommodation. At present the offices are far too small for the staff, and steps will soon have to be taken to provide more room. Financial. —The statement of the receipts and expenditure is appended. The policy of the Board has always been one of careful finance, and the result is that the various accounts are in a good condition. I have, Ac , W. B. Howell, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister[cf Education.

OTAGO. Sir,— Education Office, Dunedin, 17th April, 1907. 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 1906 : —■ 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. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," the district was divided into the Northern, Central, and Southern Wards, each ward electing three members to the Board. This alteration in the method of election took effect in August, and all the members of the Board in office at that time had to retire. The members elected for the respective wards were : Northern Ward—Messrs. Donald Borrie, James Mitchell, and Andrew McKerrow ; Central Ward—Hon. Thomas Fergus, and Messrs. George C. Israel and William Scott; Southern Ward—Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.R., Rev. P. B. Fraser, M.A., and Mr. James Sim. At the first meeting of the new Board in September Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.H.R., was elected Chairman. Twenty-five meetings of the Board were held during the year. In November a vacancy in the Southern Ward was caused through the death of Mr. James Sim, who had been a member of the Board continuously from March, 1898. The vacancy was filled by the election of Mr. William Snow. 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. McKerrow was appointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools' Board. Mr. Donald Borrie continues to represent the Board as one of the Education Reserves Commissioners. Number of Schools.—At the close of 1905 there were 220 schools in operation in the district. Four new schools were opened, and 6 schools were reopened ; 1 school was closed. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 229. Teachers. —On the 31st December there were 571 teachers in the Board's service, classed as follows : Head teacher, males 92, females 1; sole teacher, males 37, females 98; assistant, males 47, females 171; assistant (secondary departments, district high schools), males 6, females 6; relieving-

teacher, males 1; pupil-teacher, males 27, females 41; teachers of needlework, females 27 ; training College and Normal School (special), males 3, females 2 ; teacher of gymnastics, male 1; manual and technical (special teachers), males 7, females 4: totals, males 221, females, 350: grand total, 571. In December, 1906, there were in the service of the Board 64 teachers who were uncertificated or who did not hold a license to teach. This is an increase of 25 since the previous year. A small proportion of the unclassified teachers have passed through the Training College, but, having failed to pass in one or two of their examination subjects, they have not secured their certificates. Some of the classified teachers have obtained their certificates without attendance at the Training College. Unfortunately, the Board has again and again had forced upon it the option of closing a school or of placing it in charge of an untrained teacher whose educational status is not vouched for by the Education Department. Some of these untrained, unclassified teachers are showing aptitude for their work, and are preparing for the certificate examination. Should they succeed in passing the examination, it would be well to provide for their admission to the Training College for a period of three or six months, and make some allowance to them during the time they are in training. Such training would be of great practical value to them, and its cost very small. The number of pupil-teachers employed was 68, a decrease of 16 from the previous year. The decrease is wholly in the females, the number of males being the same as in 1905. School Gardens.—ln recent years a large increase has taken place in the number of schoolgardens. In fifty-three schools elementary agriculture is a recognised class, the school garden being an indispensable adjunct, and in a number of other schools it exists as a means of providing material for nature-study. In this connection the Board has been fortunate in securing the services of the Director of the Dunedin Botanical Gardens to deliver a course of lectures to those country teachers that have the class recognised in their schools. The facilities offered for attending these classes have been largely availed of, and in the future still further advance in this subject may be reasonably expected. It is to be noted with regret that in but few instances is Arbor Day devoted to the purposes for which the holiday was instituted, and that the enthusiasm that marked its inauguration has not been sustained in our schools. Schemes of Work.—The Inspectors are frequently dissatisfied with the schemes of work presented to them. A scheme of work intelligently drawn up and thoughtfully worked goes far to define and systematize the school course. In every school there should be not only the scheme of work prescribed by the regulations, but such a record of the work accomplished as would enable a newly appointed teacher or a relieving-teacher to take up the work exactly where his predecessor laid it down. Attendance.—The average attendance for the year was 17,088, being a decrease of 351 as compared with the previous year. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the weekly roll was 88-6, being a decrease of I*l per cent, for the year. The decrease is no doubt largely accounted for by the prevalence of measles during the latter half of the year. Still, measles notwithstanding, the attendance should have been better, and would have been but for the irregularity that prevailed after the epidemic had spent itself and right up to the end of the year. Irregular attendance strikes at the very foundation of the well-being of the schools. Not only is the progress of the irregulars affected, but the extra attention which their condition demands from the teacher hinders the progress of the regulars ; teachers' salaries are diminished, their appointments imperilled, and the revenues of the Committees and the Board reduced. Teachers have hitherto been instructed to use discrimination in reporting absentees, and some of them have interpreted their instructions so liberally as to report none. They are now instructed to report all cases in which there is failure to comply with the Act, the Truant Officer to determine whether the excuse assigned for non-compliance is or is not sufficient. This will relieve them from a duty that has hitherto tended to bring them into conflict with a minority of those amongst whom they dwell. Inspection of Schools.—The Inspectors report that, as a general rule, the junior classes did well in most of their work ; but that, owing to too easy promotion from Standard IV to Standard V and from Standard V to Standard VI, there was in these classes often a long tail of weaklings that reduced the efficiency mark by a grade. While they have, they say, no desire to return to the old vogue, they report that the transference of the classification from the Inspector to the teacher has not made for thoroughness of work in the senior classes, that a considerable proportion of the pupils promoted from Standard V to Standard VI would have profited greatly jby another year's work in Standard V, and that many who obtained the proficiency certificate and passed on to the high schools would have profited by another year's work in Standard VI. The chief cause of the premature promotion here again referred to by the Inspectors is no doubt correctly stated in the following extract from their report for 1905 : " Premature promotion must be laid partly at the doors of the parents and partly at the doors of the teachers, many of whom are not strong enough to resist the importunate demands of unreasonable parents, who, no matter what the character of the attendance, expect to see their children advanced a class every year." There is probably another potent cause, which is also a very natural one—namely, the parent's desire that his child shall win his proficiency certificate before attaining the age of disqualification for a free place at the high schools. The Board desires again to express its opinion that the agelimit for free places is, as it stands, mischievous in its effects. Truancy.—From the following statement an estimate may be formed of the work undertaken during the year for the suppression of truancy and irregular attendance : Nine hundred and thirty notices were served on parents and guardians for infringements of "The Education Act, 1904," section 141; 28 notices were served on parents whose children were not attending any school; 292 cases of irregular attendance were investigated; 107 penalty summonses were issued under section 145. Of these latter, 102 convictions were obtained ; 3 cases were dismissed ; 2 cases were withdrawn by doctor's certificate. The total fines inflicted for the year amounted to £20 ss. 6d. (The compulsory clauses of the Education Act were practically suspended during the last halfyear, owing to the epidemic of measles, whooping-cough, Ac.)

Scholarships.—The annual examinations for the Junior National Scholarships and the Board's Junior and Senior Scholarships were held, as formerly, in the month of December. Of the 47 competitors for the four Junior National Scholarships 22 passed the examination and 18 failed ; of the 75 competitors for the Board's Junior Scholarships 50 passed the examination and 25 failed ; while of the 26 competitors for the Board's Senior Scholarships 25 passed the examination and 1 failed. Ten Junior and 12 Senior Scholarships were awarded. Of those who gained the Board's Junior Scholarships 6 were boys and 4 were girls, while of the successful senior candidates 10 were boys and 2 were girls. Ten of the Senior Scholarship winners had previously held Junior Scholarships. Physical Exercises.—As in previous years, instruction in physical exercises and drill has been carried on in all the schools in the district. The Inspectors report that the military drill of the boys is generally very good in the large schools, and commend the assistants, who conduct the instruction often at much sacrifice of their own time. Their report upon the physical exercises is not so satisfactory, and complaint is made that the middle and junior classes and the girls of the senior classes are not receiving adequate attention in this important department of work. Handwork. —The number of schools taking handwork in accordance with the regulations for manual and technical instruction was 93, an increase of 27 for the year. In about 20 other schools instruction in one or more branches of handwork was given, but the time devoted to the instruction was not sufficient to qualify for capitation under the departmental regulations. The Inspectors report steady progress and the achievement of much good work in elementary agriculture, a department of work that is proving of great value and great interest to country schools, bringing teacher and pupil into close personal touch and establishing bonds of sympathy between the school and the home. Special teachers of needlework were employed in 28 schools having an average attendance below forty-one and taught by male teachers. As in former years, Saturday classes in drawing, elementary design, brushwork, cardboard, and clay-modelling were well attended by country teachers and pupil-teachers. Finance.—A statement of the Board's income and expenditure for the year follows, By order of the Board, The Hon. the Minister of Education. P. G. Pryde, Secretary.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Inveroargill, 31st March, 1907. In pursuance of the provisions of section 166 of " The Education Act, 1905," I have the honour to submit the following record of the proceedings of the Southland Board of Education for the year ended the 31st December, 1906. The Board.—As provided for by "The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," the first election of a Board under what might be called the " ward" system was held in the months of July and August last. All the members of the Board retired from office, and all, with the exception of two, stood for re-election. In the month of April preceding the date of the election the district was, in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Act, divided into wards, named respectively the Central, East, and West Wards. Fifteen candidates were nominated for the vacancies in the three wards, and the voting of the individual members of School Committees resulted in the election of Messrs. William Maealister, 8.A., LL.B., Jpseph Crosby Smith, and William Neilson Stirling to represent the Central Ward ; Messrs. D. Gilchrist, Thomas Mac Gibbon, and Irven W. Raymond to represent the East Ward; and Messrs. John Cowie, John Fisher, and John C. Thomson, M.H.R., as representatives of the West Ward. At a special meeting, held on the 17th August, Mr. D. Gilchrist was unanimously elected as Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year. It is yet premature to venture on a decided expression of opinion as to the merits of the new system of election and representation. It may be that the innovation will prove to be in the best interests of education, though it is doubtful whether the benefits (if any) will outweigh the disadvantages which result from the more complicated method of election. It is doubtful also whether the system under which the educational interests of each ward are, to some extent, separated from those of the others will be more beneficial to the district as a whole than that which formerly obtained. Schools and Attendance.—The number of schools in operation at the close of the year was 168. Six schools were closed during the year for lack of attendance, 7 new schools were opened, and 2 schools were reopened. The matter of attendance at our public schools calls for but little comment. As in recent years, the attendance of the pupils has been well maintained. The average weekly roll-number and average attendance have been 9,722 and 8,465 respectively, giving a percentage of average attendance to average weekly roll-number of 87-I—a result slightly lower than for the year preceding. Teachers.—As was reported last year, the supply of fully qualified teachers has during the period to which this report refers proved quite inadequate to the demand, the result being that there has been a constant succession of vacancies in the schools, more especially of the lower grades, throughout the district. In many instances these vacancies have had to be filled by the temporary appointment of persons of little or no experience. There were in the Board's service at the close of 1906 no less than sixty-three teachers (exclusive of pupil-teachers) who had neither certificate nor license to teach. Several of these have, however, improved their status as a result of the examination of teachers held in January of the current year. While this condition of affairs exists it is to be feared that the progress of education, especially in the more remote parts of the district, will to some extent be retarded ; nor can relief be hoped for till the supply, due to the operation of our training colleges, somewhat more adequately meets the demand. Pupil-teachers.—The examination of pupil-teachers was held in December, and was conducted, as in the previous year, by the Department. The result of this new relationship between the Board and the central authority has been mutually advantageous. Under the new regulations pupil-teachers have now to pass only two, instead of, as previously, four, examinations. The numbers presenting themselves under such conditions are necessarily fewer than in former years. Out of 13 candidates who appeared at the examination 9 sat for the full examination, the others for the subject of drawing only. Of the former, 3 failed to satisfy the requirements of the examiner, but will be allowed a further opportunity of passing the examination next year. Pupil-teachers now in the service receive an increase in salary at the beginning of each year, length of service alone being the determining factor for such increase. For this branch of the service there is more than an ample supply of candidates, especially of females. Many of these young people have equipped themselves from a literary point of view for entry into the service by passing the Civil Service or Matriculation Examination ; and, other things being equal, these are given the preference when new appointments are made. The number of pupil-teachers in our schools is every year a diminishing quantity. The option, permissible under the regulations, of appointing an adult assistant in lieu of two pupil-teachers has been taken advantage of in several schools. Scholarships.—(l.) Board. —The number of scholarship-holders on the books of the Board on the 31st December was 21 junior and 7 senior. Of these 19 held non-resident scholarships, and were paid at the rate of £30 per annum ; the other 9 were resident holders, and were paid at the rate of £5 per annum. In both cases, of course, the holders obtained " free place " entry into the Southland High Schools. (2.) National. —Five girls and 1 boy held National Scholarships during the year. To each of these, being non-resident, was paid the sum of £40 per annum, the scholarship carrying with it also the right to a free place at the Southland High Schools. Judged partly by past results, scholar-ship-holders have, on the whole, proved themselves fit recipients of the benefits they enjoy. District High Schools. —The more liberal and equitable scale of salaries and allowances to teachers of district high schools has doubtless contributed to the efficiency of these institutions; yet, even now, very considerable difficulty has been experienced in finding competent special assistants for district high school staffs. The absence of the necessary literary qualification on the one hand, and lack of teaching-experience on the other, have proved detrimental to the progress of higher education in this district; and the Board is of opinion that, until the salary for the special assistant (where only one is employed) is made £200 per annum, this same condition will continue to exist. Many fairly qualified teachers in primary schools now receive this and higher rates of salaries, with free house provided, and, while this is so, we cannot expect increased efficiency in the secondary departments of our district high schools till a more liberal scale of payment is provided.

B.—l.

Physical Instruction.—The time of the physical instructor, in the proportion approximately of two to one, is divided between this Board and the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools. The salary is contributed in that proportion by the respective Boards, and the arrangement has proved to be mutually satisfactory. A considerable part of the instructor's time, especially on Saturdays, is devoted to the instruction of public-school teachers, and in this fact is hope for the future progress of this branch of education in the district. From the foregoing statements it will be seen that the importance of physical culture is fully recognised by the Board, and, as far as funds will allow, is being provided for. Inspection and Examination of Schools.—On this subject but little need be said. The report of the Board's Inspectors afford correct information respecting the progress of education generally throughout the district. Mr. A. L. Wyllie, M.A., was appointed to succeed Mr. George D. Braik, who received the appointment of Chief Inspector of the Wanganui Education District. Instruction of Teachers. —The annual appropriation by the Department for the training of teachers has been spent to advantage. Classes for the instruction of teachers in the subjects of blackboard, model, freehand, and brush drawing, also in elementary physical measurements and elementary agriculture, were organized and successfully carried on during the year. This subject is dealt with more fully in the reports of the Inspectors and Director of Technical Instruction. Building Operations.—The apparently substantial credit balance will be largely drawn on during the current year for works of considerable magnitude authorised by the Board, the expenditure on which had been anticipated. The principal works undertaken during the year have been the erection of three new schools. Additional accommodation was also provided at one school and at six residences. The Board has pleasure in acknowledging the liberality of the Department in making grants to cover, partially or wholly, the cost of so many new and urgent works. Financial.—The Board's annual statement of receipts and expenditure discloses a perfectly satisfactory state of finance. The amount standing to credit of the Board's account at the close of the preceding year was £3,254 10s. 4d.; on the 31st December last the amount to credit was £8,743 19s. lid. This apparently satisfactory increase in the Board's funds must be largely discounted by the circumstance that two very heavy payments, usually made in the first month of the new year, were received by the Board in December, and thus unduly inflated the balance to credit of the Board's general account. It is satisfactory to note that, after making ample provision for all reasonable demands, the Board's financial position is, as the position of a purely administrative public body ought to be, above suspicion. The Board, in conclusion, congratulates the colony and the district on the completion of another year of sound educational progress and prosperity, and it has to acknowledge the ready and willing assistance of School Committees and teachers in promoting the educational welfare of Southland. I have, Ac, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Duncan Gilchrist, Chairman.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS.

AUCKLAND. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 10th May, 1907. I have the honour to forward the following brief report of the proceedings of the School Commissioners for the past year :— With much regret the Commissioners record the death of Mr. Samuel Luke and the resignation of Mr. J. M. Lennox. Both gentlemen had served on the Commission for eleven years, and were at all times loyal colleagues and zealous practical members. The vacancies were filled by the nomination by His Excellency the Governor of Mr. William Johns in place of Mr. Lennox, and the appointment by the Education Board of Mr. Alfred Richard Harris in place of Mr. Luke. Mr. Oliver Nicholson was elected Chairman. With regard to endowments for lease, it has been found that the blocks set aside, if of fair average quality, are gradually taken up as districts become settled, but there is no doubt that the short tenure of twenty-one years, even with right of renewal, militates against letting when these reserves are placed in competition with leases of Crown lands having a longer tenure. The amounts paid over in 1906 for primary and secondary education purposes were £3,950 and £925 6s. sd. respectively. The reserves let comprised thirty-four sections of town and suburban lands and seventeen sections of country lands, yielding a joint annual increase of rental of £364 9s. 9d. I have, &c, Oliver Nicholson, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

TARANAKI. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, New Plymouth, Ist June, 1907. I have the honour to forward herewith the Commissioners' statement of receipts and expenditure for the year 1906, showing a total income (including balance, £819, from previous year) of £5,573, with disbursements amounting to £3,922. During the year a letting by auction took place, but was only moderately successful, owing to the fact that most of the reserves offered are situated in remote localities, and are in many instances very broken country. The personnel of the Board remains unchanged, and consists of Mr. Henry Faull and myself, as representing the Education Board, and Messrs. W. T. Jennings, M.H.R., C. E. Major, M.H.R., and F. Simpson as the nominees of the Government. At the end of the year the Commissioners had to accept the resignation of their solicitor, the Hon. O. Samuel, M.L.C., who had been the Board's trusted adviser for over twenty years, and recently retired from the active practice of his profession. The Commissioners have for some years past given much thought and close personal attention to the growth of noxious weeds, which is becoming a very serious matter for bodies charged with the administration of public reserves in rural districts. In most cases they have found their lessees keenly alive to the need for timely action to check, and if possible eradicate, ragwort, blackberry, and similar pests; but this is not always so, and in a few instances reserves have been depreciated in value and loss caused to the trust through the spread of these plants from adjacent native reserves. The vigilance of the officers of the Agricultural Department and of the Board's own. Ranger has accomplished much, but the Commissioners cannot too strongly urge the necessity for more stringent supervision of Maori'lands and the creation of some effective method of insuring the same attention by the owners as the European settler is compelled to give to these matters. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. James Wade, Chairman,

NELSON. Sir, — School Commissioners' Office, Nelson, 13th May, 1907. I have the honour to forward the accounts of the School Commissioners for the year ending the 31st December, 1906. The amounts paid over for primary and secondary education were £749 125., and £290 respectively. In addition to their ordinary meetings, the Commissioners visited and inspected several of the reserves during the year, and as a result of their inspection one reserve was re-let by tender at a material increase on the previous rental. Many inquiries have been received for country lands set apart for educational purposes, but, owing to their not having been vested, the Commissioners have been unable to deal with same. I have, &c, A. T. Maginnity, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Chairman.

CANTERBURY. Sir, — Government Buildings, Christchureh, 3rd January, 1907. In accordance with Order in Council of date 17th September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners for the Canterbury Provincial District for the year ending the 31st December, 1906, together with a copy of its accounts, duly audited. The total area of the primary education estate under lease on the 31st December, 1906, was acres, producing an annual rental of £18,724 12s. 2d. : of this area 23,315 acres is contained in what is known as " Pastoral Run, No. 5." The fixed deposit of £163 33. sd. with the Bank of New Zealand, which matured on the 22nd December last, has had added to it £115 7s. 2d., which makes a total amount of £278 10s. 7d. available for purchase of land, and this sum has been deposited for one year from the 22nd December last. On the 30th August last the sum of £14 4s. Bd. was received from the Mackenzie County Council in payment for 1 acre 3 roods 4-7 perches of land acquired under the Public Works Act out of Reserve 1213 for the purposes of a gravel-pit and public road. During the year eight holdings were leased; of these five were let by public tender (one of them, of 650 acres, being subdivided into two lots), and three renewed by arbitration under clause 244 of " The Land Act, 1892." I have, &c, John Rennie, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sib,— Education Reserves Office, Dunedin, 28th May, 1907. In accordance with Order in Council of the 15th December, 1878, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners of Otago for year ended 31st December, 1906. During the year three auction sales were held, when twenty-nine reserves were leased for agricultural purposes, and seventeen town sections. The area of the agricultural land was 1,994 acres, leased to twenty-nine tenants at £331 19s. 7d. per annum, or an average of 3s. 3fd. per acre. The area of the town sections was 4J acres, leased to sixteen tenants at £15 10s. 6d. per annum. The School Commissioners' rent-roll now contains 960 tenants. The total land vested in the School Commissioners of Otago is 390,518 acres, and the present annual rent is £13,854 9s. lOd. The sum of £36,017 18s. sd. is invested on mortgage over freehold securities, and the annual interest is £1,683 lis. 4d., or about £4 13s. s|d. per cent. There is also a sum of £5,500 in the Bank of New Zealand on fixed deposit. During the year the sum of £4,743 6s. Bd. was received on account of repayment of loans. The sum of £31 18s. 3d. was expended on the purchase of land, which has been added to the area of the endowment. Of the amount of £3,257 16s. Id. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as rent in arrear on the 31st December (the most of which was for rent due in advance on the Ist November last) the sum of £1,214 19s. lid. has since been collected. In explanation of the amounts shown as expenditure in the statement of accounts, I beg to say that £52 12s. 4d. was paid for train fares, £36 for stamps and Government charges, £717 15s. lid. on permanent improvement of endowments, in the shape of river protection works, roads, roads, drains, and ditches. £31 18s. 3d. was expended on the purchase of land, and £219 19s. was paid to outgoing tenants for valuation on improvements. The last-named sum was collected from incoming tenants, and is included in the item £223 19s. appearing in the receipts. The Commissioners take this opportunity of bringing under your notice the unsatisfactory conditions existing in connection with mining revenue from endowments, a large area of which has been brought under the provisions of the Mining Act. These lands are subject to all mining privileges, and a number of them are being permanently deteriorated by dredging, sluicing, &c. The Mining Act provides for payment of rents and royalties derived from education endowments to the Receiver of Gold Revenue, who subsequently pays it to the Treasury. It also provides for a refund of said rents and royalties to the body in whom the endowment is vested. Notwithstanding repeated applications for a refund of moneys due, the Commissioners of Otago have received nothing since the 10th October, 1904, although a very considerable amount has since that date been received by the Treasury from the Otago education endowments. The Commissioners are clearly entitled to payment of the revenue from the endowments, which were set apart by the Legislature for the support of primary education, and they respectfully urge that they be put in possession of what is due to them. Annexed hereto is a copy of the balance-sheet and statement of income and expenditure for the year ended the 31st December, 1906, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General. I have, &c, Wiu. Dallas, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.
