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, 1907.

EEPOET.

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.-Ib), the Reports on the Training of Teachers (E.-lc), the Report on the Public-school Cadets (E.-1d), is contained all the information that is of public interest respect to the administration of " The Education Act, 1904," the Education Act Amendment Acts, 1905 and 1907, and " The Education Reserves Act, 1877," and the Amendment Acts thereto of 1882 and 1905, 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 the Deaf; 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; E.-15, Report of Inspector-General's Visit to Schools and other Educational Institutions in Europe and America.

Public Schools. The number of schools open at the end of 1907 was 1,963, or 42 more than at the end of 1906. In Table Al the schools are classified, as for 1906, 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." The number of small schools with an average attendance not exceeding twenty shows a further increase of 42 for 1907, the number, which was 596 for 1906, was 638 for 1907. The number of pupils attending these schools has increased by 521 —namely from 7,344 to 7,865. During the year 1907, 76 schools were closed —viz., in Auckland, 14; Taranaki, 7; Wanganui, 6; Wellington, 3; Hawke's Bay, 12; Marlborough, 14; Nelson, 5; North Canterbury, 5; Otago, 3; 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 full-time schools. Including such reopened schools, the total number opened during the year was 118,

distributed as follows : Auckland, 36; Taranaki, 8; Wanganui, 5; Wellington, 8; Hawke's Bay, 11; Maryborough, 14; Nelson, 10; Grey, 2; Westland, 2; North Canterbury, 3; South Canterbury, 1; Otago, 7; Southland, 11. The net increase in the number of schools opened at the end of the year is thus 42, as shown in Table Al.

School Attendance. The total average attendance for the year was 120,026, being a decrease of 1,932 as compared with the previous year's total. In 1904, 1905, and 1906 there was an increase of 3,459, 3,759, and 1,693 respectively. 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 1907.

In the average of the weekly roll-numbers there is an increase of 1,626 for the year. The figures for 1906 were 140,320, and 141,946 for 1907. At the end of the year the number on the roll was 141,071, as against 139,302 for the previous year, an increase of 1,769. The high standard of regularity of attendance of the last two years, 86-9, fell in 1907 to 84-6. In the first quarter the average daily attendance was 85-6 per cent, of the average weekly roll-number, in the second quarter 85-0 per cent., in the third quarter 83-0 per cent., and in the fourth 84-6 per cent. Otago, which from 1901 to 1905 stood at the head of the list, again heads the list with a percentage of 88-2, Westland coming second with a percentage of 87-8. Southland, with a percentage of 86-2, and South Canterbury with 85-9, 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 85-6 per cent, and 83-7 per cent, of the average weekly roll. In 1906 the figures were 87-1 per cent, and 86-7 per cent, respectively. The decrease in total average attendance for the year 1907 was attributable in the main to epidemics of sickness which prevailed during a part of the year in almost all parts of the Dominion. In the North Island the decrease was 1,035; and in the South Island 897. The figures are given in the following table :—

TABLE B2.—Comparison of School Attendance, 1906 and 1907, North Island and South Island.

In Table B3 the average attendance in each education district, as estimated for determining the grades of schools, is shown in detail by a statement of the aggregate attendance at each group of schools under the classification in Table A. Under certain contingencies, brought about by an exceptional fall in the attendance at an individual school, there is provision in the regulations for the substitution for each of one or more quarters 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 1,626 than the total given in Table 81. The latter—l2o,o26 —is the number to be taken for statistical purposes.

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 fhe latter the number might be larger but for an omission in the Act to make compulsion operative in such cases. The law was, however, amended in this respect by the Education Act Amendment Act of 1907.

The proportion of boys to girls remains about the same as for the previous five years, 52-32 per cent, as compared with 47-67 per cent. For every 100 boys on the roll there were 91 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 summary for the whole Dominion 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 29-36 to 31 11.

TABLE D1.—Classification of Pupils, December, 1907.

Table D2 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 9,897 pupils were present at the annual examination of Standard VI, of which number 5,840, or 59 per cent., gained a certificate of proficiency, and 2,373, or 23-98 per cent., gained a certificate of competency; a total of 8,213, or 82-98 per cent., gaining either the proficiency or competency certificate. For 1906 the respective percentages were 55-46, 26-99, and 82-45.

TABLE D2.—Examination Statistics for 1907.

Table D3 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 Dominion as a whole. The average age of those in Standard V, the " standard of exemption," was in Westland 12 years and 7 months, and in Taranaki 13 years and 3 months, these being the lowest and highest respectively. For the Dominion the average age of the children in this standard in 1907 was 13 years; in 1906 it was 12 years 11 months.

TABLE D3.—Average Age of Pupils in 1907 at the Time of Annual Visit.

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 10 months, which is 1 month above the average for the four preceding years. In range, the ages returned by the several districts differ by 4 months, the lowest age being 13 years 8 months, and the highest 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 8298 per cent. (82-45 in 1906) received one or other class of certificate — tends to show that of the pupils obtaining such a certificate the number over the age of fourteen years must be comparatively small. In Table D4 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 " naturestudy," which is here grouped with " elementary science," from which in general it is not to be distinguished.

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 ftirther increase is shown in the number receiving some definite course of training; and singing also includes a distinctly larger proportion of the whole. A large increase is again shown in the addition to the number reported as receiving instruction in handwork in various forms; the total number receiving instruction under this heading has now reached 74-79 per cent, of the total roll-number. The percentages of the numbers receiving instruction in nature-study and physical instruction were 86-95 and 97-40 respectively of the total roll-number. According to the returns, there is a fall in the numbers taking geography and history; but, as the figures now given correspond very closely with the numbers of pupils in the classes for which those subjects are prescribed, it is probable that previous returns were based upon estimates that were more or less inaccurate. Public-school Teachers. In December, 1907, there were employed on the primary staffs in the public schools of the Dominion 3,937 teachers; of these 3,287 were adults and 650 pupil-teachers : the corresponding numbers for December, 1906, were 3,201 adults and 671 pupil-teachers. Of the adult teachers at the end of 1907, 1,332 were men and 1,955 women; of the pupil-teachers, 172 were male pupil-teachers and 478 female pupil-teachers. The number of adult male teachers was 18 more, and of adult female teachers 68 more than in December, 1906. The number of male pupil-teachers increased by 19; but the number of female pupilteachers decreased by 40. Taking the schools above Grade 0 having only one teacher, we find that the average number of children per teacher—that is, per school—was 24-5. For all schools with two or more teachers the average number of pupils per adult teacher, if we reckon two pupil-teachers as one adult, was 40-7; and on the same basis the average for all schools of Grade 1 and upwards was 36-7.

TABLE E1.—School Staff, December, 1907.*

The ratio of male to female teachers (adults) for 1907 was 100 to 146, or, omitting teachers of schools of Grade 0, 100 to 124. In 1906 the number of female teachers increased by 52, and the number of male teachers by 12; the corresponding numbers for 1907 were 68 and 18 respectively. The figures given in the table show that for 1906 there was (including pupil-teachers) an increase of 42 women, and an increase of 14 men; for 1907 there was an increase of 28 women and 37 men.

The proportion of male pupil-teachers has steadily risen during the last five years. In 1902, the ratio of male pupil-teachers to female pupil-teachers was 1 to 4-22; in 1903, it was 1 to 3-76; in 1904, 1 to 3-51; in 1905, 1 to 3-50; in 1906, Ito 339; and in 1907, 1 to 2-77. In other words, while the number of male pupil-teachers has increased by 20 per cent, (172 in 1907, as against 143 in 1902), the number of female pupil-teachers has decreased by about 29 per cent. (478 in 1907, as compared with 604 in 1902). The total of all salaries and allowances at the rates paid at the end of the year was £499,418. This includes the salaries and lodging-allowances of pupilteachers, as well as all salaries and house-allowances paid to adult teachers; the average rate per teacher, including pupil-teachers, was, therefore, £126 175.1d. A fairer idea could probably be gained by excluding teachers in grade " 0 " schools, and 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, 1907, £192 9s. 3d., as compared with £189 18s. 2d. in 1906; average salary per woman teacher, £115 os. 3d., as against £116 7s. 3d.; average salary for all'adults, £148 17s. 7d., as against £149 3s. 7d. per teacher. In addition to the teachers shown in Table El, several Boards employed relieving-teachers, w'hose numbers and rates of salary are given in Table 1 in the Appendix.

Table E2 gives the number of certificated teachers in public schools, exclusive of those engaged in secondary schools or as special assistants in district high schools. From the table it will be seen that the teachers employed in primary-school work in the Dominion in December, 1907, numbered 3,301, or ninety-four more than in the year preceding. Of this total, 2,436 were fully certificated, while the comparatively large number of 865, or 26-2 per cent, of the whole, either possessed no recognised examination status or had not yet completed the necessary qualification. Table E3 gives, with distinctions of sex, the numbers of all the holders of certificates of each class engaged in the public schools under the several Education Boards as at the 31st December, 1907. For some years past it has been a matter of common remark that the proportion of uncertificated teachers has shown a decided tendency to increase, and upon the statistics disclosed in this connection have not uncommonly been based conclusions unfavourable to the conditions and prospects of the teaching profession. It has been said that the schools are now not so well served as in the past, that the conditions are not sufficiently good to retain the best teachers, that many in consequence have left the service for different occupations, and their places have been taken by others less fitted to fill their positions. The statistics cannot be disputed, but so pessimistic a view of their bearing omits Lo take account of some salient facts, in the light of which it may fairly be maintained that, far from justifying the conclusions drawn, what appears to point to a process of deterioration is really in large measure incidental to successive steps of educational progress, and is the direct outcome partly of more liberal conditions, partly of a better conception of the standard of education which should be expected in the Dominion from those entrusted with the work of the schools. Up to the year 1902 the number of fully certificated teachers employed in the primary public schools showed year by year a steady increase in line with the increased attendance. The number then returned was 2,516, or 84 per cent, of the total. Thereafter the increase of uncertificated teachers, both relatively and absolutely, comes prominently into notice. In the annual reports regret has on several occasions been expressed at the tendency observed, and the explanation has been offered that the Teachers' Salaries Act of 1901 created such a large number of new adult positions that the supply of certificated teachers in the Dominion was inadequate to fill them. As under the schedule to that Act, on the school attendance then existing, and without regard to any natural increase, some 548 additional adult teachers were required, partly to take the place of pupil-teachers then materially reduced in number, it is manifest that this explanation is a sound one. Under the circumstances it was unavoidable that for years thereafter a number of uncertificated teachers should be appointed to occupy the vacant positions. This is not, however, by any means the whole explanation that may properly be given. At least two other important causes of widereaching effect have to be noted, in both of which the steps taken, as in the case of the Teachers' Salaries Act of 1901, have been without question steps of educational advance; yet both have had an obvious and immediate effect in swelling the ranks of the uncertificated. There is, in the first place, to be considered the large increase in small schools characteristic of recent years, the direct outcome of the much more liberal provisions now made for capitation payments in such cases. Many remote localities that under earlier conditions would have gone without any educational advantages whatever are now served by household or other schools of the smallest size. There has thus been brought into the service a considerable number of persons who, while ranked as teachers, and doing indubitably useful work in their position, do not and cannot be expected to possess any recognised teaching status. In such positions certificated teachers are in most cases out of the question; as a matter of- necessity those to whom the benefits are extended must content themselves with something less, and within the limits of any possible scheme of payments it must ever be so.

E.—l.

A still more important and persistent cause, however, of the increased number and proportion of uncertilicated teachers lies in the character of the certificate itself. For some years past the old Class E certificate, which once formed the ordinary qualification of a large proportion of teachers, has been dropped. Examinations are no longer held for certificates of this class, and fresh certificates of the kind are not issued, except in certain very exceptional circumstances. The result is that a large body of persons who under the older regime would have been returned as certificated, having just managed to secure a Class E qualification, now fall short of the requirements, and either obtain no recognised status at all, or at least receive only a license to teach. Some indication of this fact may readily be found in the very large increase during the last two or three years of the licenses issued, though the notable increase in this respect is subject also to other explanations which need not here be given. The importance of the factor to which attention is directed will probably best be judged by taking the records of the actual certificate issues in one or two typical years. Ten years ago, in 1897, out of 187 new certificates issued (exclusive of licenses), 109, or 5828 per cent, of the number, were certificates of Class E; in 1903, out of 164 issued, 92, or 56-09 per cent, of the number, were of the same class; in 1907, out of 218 new issues, those of Class E numbered only 8, forming the practically negligible proportion of 3-67 per cent, of the total. Again, from a somewhat different point of view, of the 2,631 certificated teachers who were returned as in active service in various classes of schools in 1898, 972, or 36-9 per cent., were holders of certificates of Class E; from the latest returns in 1908, out of 2,815 certificated teachers so employed, 595, or only 21'1 per cent, of the number, held E certificates. In the same connection attention may also be drawn to one or two other matters which have a bearing on the point in question. It should not be forgotten that the superannuation scheme, brought into being by the Act of 1905, has now the effect of withdrawing from active service at an earlier age a number of holders of certificates. The scheme came into operation on the Ist January, 1906, and under it up to the close of 1907 certificate-holders to the number of eighty-four have received retiring-allowances, relieving them of the necessity of struggling on in their declining years, as in the absence of any such provision they would probably in most cases have been obliged to do. Further, it has also to be noted that the training colleges themselves, to which the country now looks for an adequate supply of fully qualified teachers, temporarily accentuated the shortage by retaining under their improved organization a very large proportion of their students for a two-years course of study. On the whole, seen in the light of the explanations given, the figures under review bear a very different meaning from that suggested without critical inquiry. Through recent changes more teachers have been required, and, to a great extent, teachers of better attainment; and, if the facts observable are not yet all they should be, the outlook is in reality very far from unpromising. Never before have so many teachers been found making earnest efforts to improve their status. During the past two years the holders of Class C certificates in active service have more than doubled in number, and a largely increased proportion of those who have already obtained their " C " are looking towards a still higher class. The following table, showing the class of certificate held by duly qualified teachers employed in all forms of public instruction from the year 1903, is given for further information, the estimate being made in each case as at the 30th June, the date of the annual Gazette notice : —

Training qf Teachers. The four training colleges for teachers have now for some time been in active operation, and in only one of the four, where the accommodation has so far been limited, does the number of students fall materially below the full complement for which the colleges were intended to provide. At the close of the year the students in attendance numbered 253, of whom 61 were men and 192 were women, a proportion of 24-1 and 75-9 respectively. The corresponding total for the close of 1906 was 216, of whom 48 were male students. Among those attending during the year have also to be reckoned a few students who left before the close of the period either to go into active service under the Boards or for some other reason. The total provision in contemplation is for 80 students in each of the centres. Towards this number out of the total reported, Wellington contributes 78; Dunedin, 73; Christchurch, 66; and Auckland, 36. The course of training extends over two years, but in the case of those who have already undergone a preliminary training as pupil-teachers, it has not always been deemed necessary to require the full period of attendance. In a very few instances, as has been determined in its discretion by the Board controlling the training college, an attendance of one year has been accepted; but the great bulk of the students remain for two years, and it is so intended. The students attending for the second year in 1907 numbered at Wellington, 46; at Dunedin, 41; at Christchurch, 34; at Auckland, 28 : total, 149. New training college buildings are now in course of erection at Auckland and Dunedin. An expenditure of £8,000 and £8,800 respectively has been authorised for the purpose, and requests for further sums to be expended in certain alterations or additions are under consideration. When these works are completed, with the necessary furnishings, the material equipment in the four centres should suffice for all present needs. The amount paid during 1907 for the training of teachers was £34,875, made up as follows : Salaries of staffs of four training colleges, £12,414; students' allowances and University fees, £13,148; grants for special instruction in handwork, £1,895; railway fares of teachers in training and for Instructors, £5,564; alterations to buildings, Wellington (balance), £632; on account of buildings, Auckland, £987; for library books, Auckland, £100; and apparatus, &c, Christchurch, £135. It must be remembered, however, that £12,414 of this total provides not only for the efficient training of over two hundred and fifty teachers, but the instruction of over fifteen hundred children in attendance at the practising schools. The reports of the several training colleges are printed in a separate paper (E.-lc). Teachers' Superannuation. The number of contributors to the fund on the 31st March, 1908, was 2,882, being an increase of 70 above the number on the register on the 31st March, 1907. Of this number, 2,505 were original members and 377 ordinary members —that is, persons who were first permanently employed after the date of the coming into operation of the Act. Details are given in the following table : —

It is found on comparison of the number of original contributors at the 31st March, 1907, with the number as at 31st March, 1908, that, as a net result of the admissions to and withdrawals from the fund during the year, there is a decrease of 27 contributors whose contributions were at the rate of 5 per cent., 21 at 6 per cent., 16 at 8 per cent., 11 at 9 per cent., and 17 at 10 per cent.; while there was an increase of 4 at 7 per cent. : the net totals showing a decrease of 88 in the

The number of contributors to the fund who, having attained the statutory age of retirement, are still employed in the Education service shows a decrease of two since the end of the previous year : —

Contributors of the Statutory Age of Retirement.

Particulars of retirements from the fund are given in Table I of the Appendix of E.-14. Of the number of contributors who retired during the year 24 (including 4 " medically unfit" cases) were granted annual allowances aggregating £1,389 10s. Six widows and 8 children, the representatives of 6 contributors who died, were granted annual allowances (£212), and also a refund of the contributions (£132 9s. 9d.). The total number of retired contributors on account of whom annual allowances were granted during the year was therefore 30. Four contributors whose length of service was not over fifteen years retired as being " medically unfit for further duty " : In each of these cases, a sum equal to one-twelfth part of the total salary received by them during all the years of their service prior to the Ist January, 1906, was granted, together with a refund of their contributions to the fund. The total amounts were £212 10s. Id. and £21 9s. 9d. respectively : total, £233 19s. 10d. Seven contributors died before entering upon pension, and their contributions to the fund, amounting to £87 4s. 3d., were paid to their legal representatives. To 100 contributors who voluntarily retired from the Education service before becoming entitled to participate in the benefits of the fund contributions amounting to £1,014 10s. Id. were returned. The total number of contributors who retired from the Education service during the year was 141. Particulars regarding the retiring-allowances current at the end of the year are given in Table 2 of the Appendix of E.-14. Five pensioners died during the year, of whom 4 left widows, and 2 children under the age of fourteen years, to whom annual allowances were granted. Three children attained the age of fourteen years, and their allowances consequently ceased. The balance to the credit of the fund is £62,222 11s., and of this sum £48,100 has been invested on mortgage—£37,loo at per cent., and £11,000 at 5 per cent. The balance, £14,122 11s., bearing interest at 4 per cent., is awaiting investment by the Public Trustee. 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 worn-out 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).

(p.) 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 worn-out 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 wornout 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 thirtysix and a half years, or rather less than the duration shown by returns made by the Boards four 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, £12,100; Taranaki, £2,058; Wanganui, £4,340; Wellington, £4,895; Hawke's Bay, £3,546 18s.; Marlborough, £859; Nelson, £2,986; Grey, £967; Westland, £1,030; North Canterbury, £8,226; South Canterbury, £2,562; Otago, £9,089; Southland, £4,611 : total, £57,269 18s. For rents : Auckland, £953 19s. Bd.; Taranaki, £133 7s. 6d.; Wanganui, £3 16s. Bd.; Wellington, £1,033 3s. 5d.; Hawke's Bay, £74 7s. 9d.; Otago, £80 7s. : total, £2,279 2s.' For the purpose of replacing schools or school property damaged or destroyed by fire, £304 13s. was paid to Auckland, £4 to Taranaki, £664 17s. 6d. to Wellington, £94 16s. to Hawke's Bay, £295 to Southland; total, £1,363 6s. 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 the ordinary grants for maintenance and replacement as explained aboveV Special grants amounting to £34,978 19s. 10d. for additions to schools, rendered necessary by increased attendance, and for new school buildings and teachers' residences were made as follows : — Additions. —Auckland, £3,356 17s. 9d.; Taranaki, £647 55.; Wanganui, £1,196 7s. 6d.; Wellington, £680; Hawke's Bay, £70; Marlborough, £100; Nelson, £2,060 19s. 6d.; North Canterbury, £1,353 16s. lid.; South Canterbury, £100: Otago, £1,110; Southland, £1,368 14s. : total, £12,044 os.

Finances of Education Boards. Table Fl is an abstract of the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of Education Boards for the year 1907. These are tabulated in detail on pages 6 and 7 of the Appendix, and the annual reports of the several Boards, with their statements of receipts and expenditure, are also printed in the Appendix with full detail. Comparing the figures in Table Fl with those for the previous year, we find that the expenditure on teachers' salaries was £484,673 6s. lOd., as against £472,152 17s. lid. for 1906, an increase of £12,540, due to increase in the number of schools. There has also been considerable increase in expenditure for training of teachers, due mainly to further extension of the work of the four training colleges; and for manual and technical instruction, due to the increase in the number of classes and in the attendance,

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 3-6 (3-4); Auckland, 44 (3-9); Otago, 4-5 (4-2); Hawke's Bay, 4-6 (4-2); Wanganui, 4-7 (4-1); Wellington, 4-9 (4-0); South Canterbury, 5-1 (4-8); Southland, 5-3 (4-4); Taranaki, 5-8 (5-4); Nelson, 6-7 (6-2); Grey, 7-4 (6-9); Marlborough, 7-8 (6-3); Westland, 9-4 (7-9).

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 enlargement of existing schools when necessary to accommodate increased attendance, and of teachers' residences. Table F3 is a summary of the assets and liabilities on the Buildings Account. It shows that the balances have decreased by £4,077.

TABLE F3. —Buildings Account: Assets and Liabilities of Boards on 31st December, 1907.

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 tne 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, 1908, 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, additions to buildings, alterations, 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 repair 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. " (c.) To provide for all new furniture and fittings required by increase of attendance at existing schools, or by the establishment of small or temporary schools not provided for by special grant. " 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 other purposes named in the vote; but the amount expended upon additions in any year is not to exceed 7 per cent, of the grant for the year, and the additional floor-space provided in any one school or residence during the year is not to exceed 400 square feet." For the replacement of schools destroyed by fire special provision is made in accordance with the report of the Education Committee. A further examination has been made 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 va-rious special accounts, and from this the following summary of the assets and liabilities of the Maintenance Fund has been compiled.

Table F4. —School Building Maintenance Account: Assets and Liabilities.

According to this statement, the Boards should have had on the Maintenance Account, at the end of 1907, a cash balance of £69,385. Of course, no such fund is in existence. The total cash in hand on all accounts was only £50,178 [Table F.-ll while on the joint Buildings Account it was £26,614 [Table F.-3], or, deducting £19,339, the unexpended balance of the special donation of £20,000 referred to in last year's report [E.-l, 1907] as having been paid to the Auckland Education Board for the purposes of erecting a technical college, £7,275. The account for new buildings shows a deficit of £42,771. It is evident that the restrictions with which it was intended to invest the funds granted for maintenance purposes have not been effective. In the case of two Boards, the proposal to transfer £12,925 [£8,47l and £4,454] from the Maintenance Account to the Account for New Buildings has not been given effect to in compiling these tables, the proposal being contrary to the terms of the circular memorandum referred to above, and also the Education Committee's Reports of 1903 and 1904.

E.—l.

To sum up, for many years the Boards have been receiving large grants of money for the maintenance of school buildings; for the last four years these grants have been specially earmarked for repairs and for the rebuilding of wornout schools. Presumably, about half the amount of the grants has been used for repairs, and a few schools have been rebuilt; but the unspent balance of the grants, according to the accounts of the Boards, should show nearly £70,000 now available to meet the cost of rebuilding a large number of schools which must, in the interests of health and efficiency, be soon replaced. Owing to neglect of the conditions on which the grants were given, or to other causes not easily traced, about £62,000 of this reserve fund has disappeared, leaving only £7,000 in hand to meet an imminent necessary expenditure of ten times that amount. The position is one that calls for serious consideration. Education Reserves. Table Gγ 1 is a summary of the accounts of the. School Commissioners, which are given in full in the Appendix.

The payments made to Education Boards for primary education out of the proceeds from education reserves in 1907 amounted to £47,385 4s. Bd., as compared with £47,406 2s. lid. for the previous year. The revenues of the Boards are not, however, increased thereby, as equal "amounts are deducted from the grants otherwise payable by the Government. The payments for primary education were distributed among the several Education Boards as follows : Auckland, £3,588 155.; Taranaki, £1,424 3s. 6d.; Wanganui, £2,725 3s. 2d.; Wellington, £3,750 13s. 4d.; Hawke's Bay, £3,889 55.; Marlborough, £240; Nelson, £635 45.; Grey, £88; North Canterbury, £14,586 35.; South Canterbury £3,440 55.; Otago, £9,196 10s. 7d.; Southland, £3,821 2s. Id. The payments for secondary education from reserves under the control, of the School Commissioners amounted to £4,353 13s. 7d., as compared with £3,700 15s. 9d. for 1906. This money is distributed by the Commissioners among the governing bodies of secondary schools in the provincial district in proportion to the number of pupils in average attendance at these secondary schools, exclusive of those in any preparatory department.

Table G2. —Income and Cost of Administration of School Commissioners.

Table G2 shows the total income from education reserves for the 1898-1907, and the cost of administration by the School Commissioners for the same period. In comparing these figures with those for 1897-1906, published in last year's report, it will be seen that the total income amounted in the last ten years to £572,119, as against £556,071 for 1897-1906, an increase of £16,048. The percentage of cost of administration shows a slight decrease 676, as compared with 687. It may be noted, however, that in Westland more than a quarter of the total income for the last ten years has been absorbed bv the expenses of administration. The School Journal. Although the powers of an Education Board in prescribing the school-books to be used m the district under its control are limited by the provisions of an Order in Council, considerable diversity nevertheless exists in the text-books used in the several districts, and parents have complained that removal from one education district to another, and even from one school to another frequentlv involves the purchase of an entirely new set of school-books In order to alleviate such a hardship, and with a view to relieving parents generally of part of the cost of providing books, it was decided in 1906 that the Department should publish a School Journal for free distribution to schools The School Journal is published in three parts-viz., Part I (sixteen pages), for Classes I and II; Part II (sixteen pages), for Classes 111 and IV; and Part 111 (thirty-two pages) . for Classes V and VI. Public schools, Native schools, and special schools (such as industrial schools) are supplied with free XfS a i M 7 °4P™ te 2 nd . secondary schools purchase copies at the rate of id. per copy for Part I, and Id. for Parts II and 111

The first number was issued in May, 1907. As the long recess falls in midsummer, there are no issues in December and January, but the November number is considerably enlarged to provide reading matter till the schools close. Schools are supplied with sufficient copies to provide for every child on the rolls of the various classes one copy of the appropriate part of the Journal, Part I, 11, or 111, as the case may be. Including purchases, the present distribution is : Parti, 37,806 copies; Part 11, 37,502; Part 111, 30,128. The earlier issues were not illustrated, but as time went on the necessity for illustrations became more and more felt. Accordingly, early this year, the Department began to insert frequent illustrations wherever the occasion warranted. In addition to those contained in the School Journal, pictures and prints illustrating history, geography, nature-study, &c, are being issued separately on cards. Up to the present a set of historical pictures, twenty prints of native plants, and eight prints illustrating New Zealand geography have been supplied to public, Native, and special schools, and, with the exception of the historical pictures, of which a sufficient supply was not available, to public secondary schools. Military and Physical Drill : 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 Dominion at the end of the year was 137,404. The term " drill" here must be taken to include physical and disciplinary exercises. There were on the 31st March, 1908, 185 cadet companies, 111 detachments, and 14 sections, with a total strength of 15,183 members, equipped with the " model rifles " (dummies) which have been imported by the Department for purposes of drill, and with a percentage of miniature Martini-Henry rifles for target practice. Details of the number of cadet companies in the several districts are given in E.-Id. The number of battalions formed was 31. At the end of the year the companies in the North and South Islands respectively, exclusive of those attached to District High Schools, 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 Dannevirke North No. 1 Company (Hawke's Bay), with a score of 752 out of a possible 840; the South Island shield was won by the Oamaru North Company (Otago) with a score of 705. Details of the scores of the first six companies in each Island are given in Table I, E.-Id. This table also contains the results of the competitions for the valuable prizes presented by the Weekly Press Company (Christchurch) and the Colonial Ammunition Company (Auckland). During the summer of 1907-8 five camps were held, eight battalions, with a total strength of all ranks of 1,947, being represented. A capitation allowance of 3s. 6d. per head is provided by the Department towards the expenses of these camps, together with the loan of necessary equipment. For the encouragement of rifle practice by the cadet companies in the Auckland Education District Mr. Henry Brett, proprietor of the Evening Star, Auckland, very generously presented the Department with a silver shield and medals. The Thames Battalion was presented by private benefactors with a belt, medals, and stars for competition by the cadets. As mentioned in previous reports' other districts have also received valuable prizes for local competition. The expenditure for the year 1907 was £9,779 13s. Id., made up as follows :—

Id., made up as follows, was paid for conveyance of school-children —viz., railway fares of pupils attending public schools, £1,878 10s.; of pupils attending private schools, £725 10s.; of holders of free places attending district high schools, £1,487 45.; of holders of free places attending secondary schools, £1,558 125.; and of pupils (including holders of free places) attending technical schools, £1,732 10s. 9c1.; grants for conveyance of children by road and water, £ s. d.—viz., to Auckland Education Board, £102 195.; Taranaki Board, £68 ss. 6d.; Wanganui Board, £81 45.; Wellington Board, £254 12s. 6d.; Hawke's Bay Board, £15 35.; Marlborough Board, £12 7s. 6d.; Nelson Board, £104 15s. Id.; North Canterbury Board, £68 14s. 9d.; South Canterbury Board, £179 Is.; Otago Board, £396 9s. 6d.; and Southland Board, £328 2s. 6d. Civil Service Examinations. The Civil Service Examinations were, as usual, conducted by the Education Department—the Junior Examination in December, 1907, and the Senior Examination, simultaneously with the examinations for teachers' certificates, in January, 1908. For the Junior Examination there were in all 2,173 candidates, representing a still further increase on the number reached in previous years. Of this total, 1,304 (or a little over 60 per cent.) entered for the examination ostensibly as candidates for admission to the public service under the Civil Service Regulations; 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, 943 passed the examination, 620 of them with credit, as shown in the order-of-merit list published in the Gazette of the Ist February, 1908. For the Senior Examination there were 231 candidates, and the names of IH4 of this number were published in the Gazette of the 13th February, 1908. 39 as having passed the examination, and 125 as having passed in two or more subjects. Further particulars are given in the report of the Annual Examinations (E.-1a). Scholarships and Free Places. The Education Board scholarship scheme by which the Education Boards, under local regulations approved by the Minister of Education, award annuallv 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 one of the chief doors of entry to secondary schools for the most promising of the

E.—l.

primary-school pupils. The regulations adopted in the different districts commonly provide for two classes of scholarships, junior and senior—the formerlimited 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 1907 Education Board scholarships—junior and seniorwere current to the number of 464, or one more than the total of 1906 (463). 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 operation of the provisions for free places, which give a preference to scholarship-holders, carries with it in all but certain exceptional circumstances the substantial benefit of free tuition, and a lodging or travelling allowance is added where necessary. The total expenditure on scholarships of this class during the year 1907 was £8,542. The following table shows the number and value of Education Board scholarships current at the end of 1907 :—

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

Under the National Scholarship scheme pupils of public schools have also the chance of obtaining 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 scholarships, 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 entrusted 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 1907 the number of Junior National scholarships current was 90, 72 of which were held at secondary schools and 18 at district high schools. Of this number, 30 were in the first year of their currency, 29 in the second year, 18 in the third year, and 13 in the fourth year. Forty-eight of the scholarships were of the annual value of £10, and 42 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 £2,314. The total cost of scholarships (Board and National) for 1907 thus amounted to £10,856.

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 school's, is held annually in December. For this examination in 1907 entries were received from 1,475 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 1906 the number of entries received was 1,458; in 1905, 870. On the results of the examination 682 of the candidates qualified for a scholarship award, and in addition 148 satisfied the conditions for free places. Supplementing the provisions for scholarships, the arrangements now in force, by which piipils 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 pass a special examination for free places, or who obtain certificates of proficiency at the completion of their primary course, become eligible generally for the privilege of two years' free tuition, with a possible extension to a third year without further examination. 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, either in its competitive form or, as slightly modified for the purpose in question, in the form of a qualifying examination only. The Matriculation Examination of the University may also be used for this purpose, and those qualifying for Senior Board scholarships, whether by means of the Department's examination or not, are also eligible. As, however, various reasons exist in the interests both of the pupil and of the school for dispensing with an external examination whenever this can be done with convenience and safety, arrangements are now being made for applying to senior free places in a modified shape the principle of the " accrediting " system, which has for some time been growing in favour with educational authorities elsewhere, and which forms commonly a characteristic feature of Continental and American schools. Hereafter, on the joint recommendation of the principal of the school attended (or, in the case of district high schools, of an Inspector of the district) and of the Inspector-General of Schools, it will be possible for a free pupil who has gone through a satisfactory course of work of sufficient scope to secure without the restrictions of an intermediate public examination free secondary education throughout the whole course of his attendance at a secondary school up to the age of nineteen years. 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 have in the past year been 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 1907 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

xxvi

E.—l.

are deterred from a University course by the question of the cost of classes. On account of Senior National scholarships and University bursaries there was paid during the year a sum of £1,320, of which £1,010 consisted of fixed scholarship allowances and £310 was in refund or remission of fees. Secondary Education. At the end of 1907 the secondary schools giving free tuition to duly qualified pupils, and receiving grants therefor under section 87 of the Education Act, numbered twenty-six, as against twenty-three for the previous year. The total number of pupils on the roll of these schools was 3,579, and of this total 2,468 (1,335 boys and 1,133 girls), or 70 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 13s. 6d. per pupil; the approximate annual rate as determined on the payments for the last term of the year being £21,596. Id 1906 the number of such free pupils was 2,435, and the approximate annual rate £21,240, with a mean capitation of £8 17s. 4d. per pupil. In addition, free tuition was given to 245 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 2,735, as against 2,770 for 1906. Further, however, in reckoning the amount of free secondary education in the Dominion must 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 2,452 pupils who had passed through the elementary school course and were in receipt of secondary instniction 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, receiving free tuition at a total cost to the Government in salaries of £19,961, and an average annual cost per pupil enrolled of £8 2s. 10d. There is thus an approximate total of 5,187 pupils receiving free secondary education, exclusive of those holding free places at technical schools. District High Schools. The number of district high schools in operation at the end of 1907 was 64, as against 61 for 1906, and 59 for 1905. 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 101, and the number of pupils in attendance was 2,452 — an increase of 2 teachers, and a decrease of 142 pupils. In 1905 a very substantial rise in the attendance had to be noted; the present movement 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 1907, over and above the amounts payable in respect of ordinary primary schools of similar average, was £20,073, of which a sum of £1,033, payable only to present occupants in virtue of earlier arrangements, is not of the nature of a permanent charge. The remainder, £19,040, represents the present annual cost of secondary education in these schools, and may be compared with the totals £18,484 for 1906 and £13,854 for 1905. With a further deduction from the amount for 1907 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 £167 2s. 7d. The average salary actually paid to secondary assistants at the close of the year was £171 10s. Tld.

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, one in Christchurch, and one in Wanganui—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, 20 have a Class C certificate, and 9 a certificate of Class D, out of a total number of 101.

The reports furnished by the governing bodies of secondary schools, and detailed information of the scholarships and free places held in these schools, together with a full statement of the staff, salaries, and attendances m connection with the upper departments of district high schools, are contained in a separate paper (E.-12). The following table (LI) gives the customary information of the attendance at the schools and the staff employed, and some proportionate calculations in this connection will also be found in E.-12. The total number of pupils on the rolls of secondary schools in the last term or quarter of the year was 2,528 boys and 1,668 girls, as against 2,528 boys and 1,742 girls at the end of 1906.

Considerable progress continues to be made in the several education districts in connection with the establishment and conduct of classes for manual and technical instruction. In districts in which the controlling authorities or the managers, as the case may be, have appointed directors or superintendents there is evidence of a decided advance, in face of many real difficulties and hindrances, towards the goal in view—namely, the establishment of organized technical schools, providing graded courses having a direct bearing on local requirements in the way of science, art, and technology. It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when attendance at a technical school shall mean not, as has been too often the case in the past, merely attendance at one or two classes, not necessarily connected, but attendance at a definite course of instruction. The advance referred to, while due in some measure to the provision made by the Government for free technical education has been brought about by the continued efforts of those in charge of the schools, supplemented by the enlightened attitude, in many cases, of employers who have done and are doing a good deal to encourage attendance at classes. Valuable assistance in the same direction has also been rendered by many local bodies and industrial and trade associations. Assistance of a practical nature in the shape of monetary contributions continues to be received by controlling authorities and managers. These contributions are to be regarded as evidence of local interest in the work, and, with the Government subsidy of £1 for £1, have made a welcome addition to the funds of the classes concerned. During the year applications by controlling authorities for new or additional buildings and equipment for classes have been favourably entertained so far as available funds and other circumstances permitted. In one or two instances the estimate by the controlling authority of the actual requirements of a centre in the way of buildings seems at present hardly to have been borne out by returns of classes and attendance thereat.' There is, however, reason to expect that in the instances referred to the accommodation provided will be fully taken up in the near future. The matter is in the hands of those in whose interest it is to use the opportunities now placed within their reach. Reference was made last year to the establishment in certain districts of sub-centres in the smaller towns. This desirable extension of work continues to progress with results that appear to justify the experiment. Given suitable

XXX

E.—l.

and convenient means of communication, there would appear to be no reason why technical schools in the larger centres of population should not, as parent schools, arrange for classes at convenient sub-centres. In any case it would seem to be desirable from many points of view for what may be termed the central technical school in a district to be closely in touch with such classes as may be established in adjacent townships. A good deal of well-meant, but, it is to be feared, wasted effort would probably be saved, and better results in other ways achieved thereby. Over eighteen hundred junior and senior free places were held at technical schools during the year, an increase of about two hundred. The proportion of junior free pupils qualifying for senior free places, entitling them to three years' additional free education, continues to be comparatively small, the total number of senior free pupils last year being only 146. The demand on the part of free pupils for instruction in commercial subjects continues to be as marked as in previous years, nearly 60 per cent, of the pupils selecting commercial courses in preference to courses relating to industries, trades, or professions such as engineering. Day technical classes attended chiefly by free pupils who have passed thereto direct from the public school were held at several of the larger centres. The range of instruction at these classes is, generally speaking, secondary in character, and many of the subjects of instruction are such as may properly, and in many cases do, find a place in the curriculum of secondary schools. It is a question, in view of the youth of most of the pupils and of other considerations, whether the end in view would not be better attained by a preliminary course of instruction, without specialisation, at a secondary school in the case of those pupils who purpose following commercial or domestic pursuits. The number of recognised classes in operation during the year was 5,851, as against 5,012 for the previous year. Of these classes, 4,459 were classes for instruction in various branches of handwork in connection with over a thousand primary and secondary schools, while 1,392 were technical and continuation classes for instruction in various branches of science, art, and technology. Of the latter, 791 were special classes under an Education Board or the Board of Governors of a secondary school as controlling authority; 487 were associated classes, conducted by managers representing the controlling authority, local bodies, and others contributing to the classes; while 114 were college classes under the governing body of a university college as controlling authority. Technical classes were held at over a hundred different places, an increase of nearly thirty. Instruction in various branches of handwork is now a feature of the curriculum of most public and secondary schools. Cookery and woodwork among other subjects are now being taught in every education district. During the year 327 cookery classes and 280 woodwork classes were in operation. These classes continue in most cases to be conducted on the central system. In certain districts increasing attention is being given by controlling authorities to instruction in science on practical lines. Grants have been made by the Government for the erection and equipment of laboratories for individual practical work, with the result that a not inconsiderable number of laboratories are now available for the instruction of pupils attending district high schools and secondary schools. Instruction in elementary agriculture was given in nearly four hundred schools during the year. In several districts this important branch of elementary education is in charge of itinerant instructors, who, in addition to super vising school gardens and experimental plots, also conduct training classes for teachers as well as classes for persons engaged in agricultural and pastoral pursuits. In three districts instruction was given in the principles and practice of dairying in addition to work in connection with school gardens. Altogether the progress made in the districts in which special attention is being given to agricultural instruction by controlling authorities cannot be regarded as other than satisfactory. Many of the classes have received valuable help in the way of voluntary contributions from local bodies, agricultural associations, and others interested in the work.

The special grants to Education Boards for the training of teachers have been increased this year. The grants have, on the whole, been well and wisely used, and most of the classes established for the benefit of teachers have been well attended. Special courses in the shape of summer and winter sessions have again been arranged for in some districts with very satisfactory results. These classes, together with the opportunities provided by the training colleges in the four large centres, should enable those taking up the profession of teaching in public schools to provide themselves with a not altogether inadequate equipment for their work. At the examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute, twenty-one teachers passed the examination in cookery and five that in woodwork. The total expenditure by the Government on manual and technical instruction for 1907 was £71,754 16s. lid. The details are as follows : Capitation on all classes, £26,764 7s. 10d.; grants for material for class use, £1,008 11s. 2d.; grants for buildings, rent, and equipment, £22,862 lls. Id.; subsidies on voluntary contributions, £13,482 lls. 6d.; free places, £4,131 lls. 2d.; railway fares of free-place holders, £784 18s. 3d.; railway fares of instructors and students, £869 12s. 2d.; inspection, £996 7s. 6d.; expenses in connection with the examinations of the Board of Education, South Kensington, and of the City and Guilds of London Institute, £840 3s. 6d.; sundries, £14 2s. 9d. The sum of £161 6s. 4d. was recovered by way of examination fees and from sale of material used at examinations, leaving a net expenditure of £71,593 10s. 7d. (Note : This total includes a subsidy of £10,000 on the contribution of the Auckland Savings-bank to the funds of the Auckland Technical College.) Full information on the subject of manual and technical instruction appears in a separate paper (E.-5). University and Colleges. The report of the Chancellor of the University of New Zealand is a separate paper (E.-6). The number of graduates admitted or qualified for admission now amounts to 1,183 admitted, and 145 qualified for admission—l,32B in all. Of the 1,183 admitted, 451 have the degree of B.A. alone, 30 B.Sc. alone, 76 LL.B. alone, 16 B.Sc. in Engineering alone, 21 M.B. alone, 84 M.B. and Ch.B alone, 3 Mus. Bac. alone, 327 M.A. alone, 4 LL.D. alone, 6 M.D. alone, 3 D.Sc. alone, 12 M.Sc. alone, 2 LL.M. alone, 1 Litt.D. alone. The graduates upon whom degrees in more than one faculty have been conferred are : B.A. and B.Sc. 9; B.A. and LL.B., 29; B.A. and LL.M., 1; B.A. and LL.D., 1; B.A. and M.8., 1; 8.A., M.8., and Ch.B., 5; 8.A., B.Sc, and M.8., Ch.B., 2; B.Sc. and M.8., Ch.B., 5; B.Sc. and M.D., 1; M.A. and B.Sc, 42; M.A. and LL.B., 27; M.A. and M.Sc, 13; M.A. and D.Sc, 5; M.A. and M.8., Ch.B., 2; M.A., B.Sc, and M.8., Ch.B., 1; M.A. and LL.D., 3. The number of degrees authorised to be conferred after the examination of 1907 was 145—8.A., 59; B.Sc, 13; B.Sc. in Engineering (alone), 8; LL.B., 20; M.B. and Ch.B., 8; 8.C0m., 1; M.A., 28; M.Sc, 5; M.D., 2; D.Sc, 1. As appears by the Chancellor's report (E.-6), the number of candidates who were examined at the usual examinations in November and December, 1907, and in January and April, 1908, in the faculties of arts, science, medicine, law, and music, and for admission to the legal profession, was 2,240. The number of students at affiliated colleges in 1907 was 1,325, an increase of 37 over that for the previous year. Of these students, 521 were women. The number of matriculated students was 990, that of unmatriculated 335. The numbers attached to the several colleges were as follows : University of Otago, 173 men and 107 women matriculated, 34 men and 9 women unmatriculated; Canterbury College, 153 men and 100 women matriculated, 44 men (exclusive of the School of Engineering) and 45 women unmatriculated; Auckland University College, 110 men and 56 women matriculated, 55 men and 63 women unmatriculated; Victoria College, 184 men and 107 women matriculated, 51 men and 34 women unmatriculated. The reports of these colleges are papers E.-7, E.-8, E.-9, and E.-10 respectively.

" The University Endowment Act, 1868." The income accrued under this Act, and applicable to purposes of higher education yet to be determined by Parliament, amounted, on the 31st March, 1908, to £292 2s. 6d., received from reserves in Westland. The accumulated rents of the Canterbury reserves, amounting to £3,142 13s. 10d., were paid to Canterbury College in March, 1908, in accordance with the provisions of " The Canterbury College Endowment Act, 1907." Chatham Islands. During the year 1907 there were two schools in operation in the Chatham Islands —viz., the schools at Te One, on the main island, and that at Pitt Island. Owing to the very unsatisfactory state of the attendance it was found necessary early in the year to close the part-time schools at Moreroa, Matarakau, and Kaingaroa. At Pitt Island the school year was a broken one, a change of teacher consequent on the resignation of Mr. Young being responsible for this. The total number of children on the rolls of the Te One and Pitt Island Schools at the end of 1907 was sixty-five— the same as for 1906—while the average attendance for the year was fifty-three. The total expenditure on the schools for the year 1907 was £634 Bs. 3d., made up as follows : Salaries and allowances of teachers, £466 2s. 10d.; repairs and works, requisites, &c, £46 14s. 7d.; scholarships, £87 12s. 4d.; inspection, £10 13s. 10d.; other expenses, £23 4s. Bd. The school at Te One was inspected and examined in the month of January of the present year (1908), according to the regulations for the inspection and examination of public schools in New Zealand. The results generally were satisfactory. It was not found possible to visit Pitt Island, and the classification of the pupils was therefore left in the hands of the teacher. Native Schools. The number of Maori village schools in operation at the end of 1907 was ninety-nine, as against one hundred at the end of 1906. Four new schools were opened during the year—viz., Rawhitiroa, near Raglan; Waikare, Bay of Islands; Reporua, on the East Coast; and Motuti, in the Hokianga district, During the year the schools at Turanganui (Wellington District), Waimana and Kokako (in Urewera country), Whangape (in Hokianga district), and Waikawa (in Marlborough) were closed, while Wairau School was transferred to the Marlborough Education Board. The new schools reported last year as being in hand — viz., Tuhara, Mataora Bay, and Wharekawa — have been completed. Suitable buildings are to be erected" shortly at Waikare and Reporua, while arrangements are in hand to provide for Matihetihe, Rakaunui, and Motiti Island. The number of children on the roll of the schools at the end of December, 1907, was 4,183, as against 4,174 of the previous year. Epidemics of sickness have interfered with the regularity of the attendance, while most of the children in the Tuhoe schools have been withdrawn. The average attendance shows, therefore, a decrease, being 3,561, as against 3,607 in 1906, there being also a difference of 2-8 per cent, in the percentage of regularity. Several schools attained very high percentages of attendance, one, indeed, reaching practically 100 per cent. The past ten years show a very noteworthy increase in the number of children in Maori schools. At the end of 1897 there were 2,864 children attending seventy-seven schools. Since then there has been an increase of 1,319, or 46 per cent., while there are over twenty more schools. This points to the increasing desire for education amongst the Maori race. In addition to the Native village schools, there are six Native mission schools at which primary instruction is given to Maori children, while secondary education is provided for by six boarding-schools under the control of .the various Church authorities. One hundred and forty-nine Maori boys and 125 girls were on the rolls of these schools at the end of the year. The Department's officers inspect and examine yearly both the mission schools and the boardingschools, the latter of which afford, through a free-place or scholarship system,

v—E. 1,

E.—l.

the present means of giving secondary education to children of Native schools. One hundred scholarships were being held at the end of 1907, of which forty were held by boys and the remainder by girls. Maori boys attending public schools may also, under regulations, be granted scholarships of this kind, and two were being held at the end of the year. Further, six Maori boys from Native schools and one from a public school were holding industrial scholarships and working as apprentices at various trades. Six Maori girls are receiving training at various hospitals, with a view to their working as nurses among their own people; three of these are probationers on the hospital staff, and the others are day-pupils attending the hospitals as pupils from one or other of the boarding-schools. Three University scholarships are being held at present, one in Law, one in Arts, and one in Medicine. The number of workshops in the village schools is now twelve, two having been closed; two more will be opened shortly. There has been an increase also in the number of schools at which instruction in domestic duties is given, and elementary practical agriculture now forms a subject of instruction in Native schools, at many of which school gardens have been established. The Native-school code has been revised, the syllabus of instruction being amended so as to approximate to that of the public schools. It is expected that the compilation of the code in its complete form will be published shortly. The total expenditure during the year, including £97 Is. Bd. paid from Native school reserves and £800 from the Tauranga Educational Reserves Fund, was £31,783 Bs. 7d. Deducting recoveries, £291 4s. 3d., the result is a net expenditure of £31,492 4s. 4d., as against £29,681 in 1906. Included in this amount is £3,340 for new buildings and additions and £2,627 for secondary education, including boarding - school fees for holders of scholarships from village schools, University scholarships, and apprenticeships. The new scale of staffs and salaries has caused an increase of £3,653 in the expenditure on this account. Part of this increase is, however, to be accounted for by the fact that in cases where through the operation of the new scale a reduction in salary would have been effected the salary was kept up, for one year, to the former rate. The staffs of the village schools included eighty-one masters, nineteen mistresses in charge, 107 assistants, and three sewing-teachers. Of the 4,183 children attending Native schools at the end of 1907, 78-8 were Maori or nearly Maori, 7-9 were half-castes speaking Maori in their homes, 3-4 were half-castes or nearly so speaking English in their homes, and 99 per cent, were Europeans. At the end of the year there were in the preparatory classes 1,711 children : in Standard I, 561; Standard 11, 581; Standard 111, 530; Standard IV, 422; Standard V, 254; and Standards VI-VII, 124. Of the Maori children in the highest standards, one gained a certificate of proficiency and six certificates of competency during the year. There were 418 European children in Native schools, of whom 292 were in various standard classes, fifty being in Standards VI and VII. Six certificates of proficiency and five of competency were gained by European children in these classes during the year. Of the 3,988 children of Maori or mixed race attending public schools 60-7 per cent, were of Maori race, 5-9 per cent, were of mixed race living as Maoris, and 33-4 per cent, were of mixed race living as Europeans. Seventeen certificates of competency and thirty of proficiency were obtained during the year. Early in the present year the Minister visited the Native schools in the East Coast, Bay of Plenty, and Taupo districts, and also some of the South Island schools, and was well satisfied with their efficiency and general management, and very favourably impressed with the appearance of the children. Industrial Schools. There were seven Government and four private industrial schools in existence in 1907, the latter being all in connection with the Roman Catholic Church.

The numbers on the books of all the schools at the close of the year compared with the numbers at the close of 1906 were as follows :—

TABLE M1.—Inmates, 1906 and 1907.

The total number belonging to all schools whose maintenance was a charge against the public funds was 1,441, or 71 more than the number at the end of 1906. Of this total, 392 were resident at Government schools, and 329 at private schools. The number boarded out with foster-parents for payment was 687, 8 being from private schools. There were maintained in various corrective institutions 7 girls; in orphanages, 1 girl; at the Costley Training Institution, Aiickland, 11 boys; in hospitals, 3 boys and 3 girls; and 2 girls and 6 boys in mental hospitals. There were also 710 who, although still on the books of the schools, were not dependent on them for maintenance. The total net cost in connection with both Government and private schools was £32,552 7s. 9d., being £2,946 ss. lid. less than for the previous year. Table M2 shows the cost of the Government schools, in which is included the expenditure for the maintenance of children boarded out with foster-parents; it also includes the cost of supervision of all the boys and girls who are permitted to reside away from the schools to which they belong. In this table account is taken of the amounts paid by Charitable Aid Boards for children sent to the schools as indigent, payments from persons against whom there are orders for maintenance, and the receipts from the sale of farm-produce, &c.

Table M3 shows the payments made by the Government on account of children belonging to private industrial schools. The recoveries include payments made by parents under orders for maintenance; but as contributions from Charitable Aid Boards are made directly to the managers of these schools, they are not taken into account in this statement.

TABLE M3.—Government Expenditure on Private (Roman Catholic) Schools, 1907.

Other payments made by the Government are shown in the following table :—

TABLE M4. —Summary of Expenditure on Special Cases at other Institutions, 1907.

The amount collected from parents towards the maintenance of their children was £4,329 10s. 9d., an increase of £852 2s. 3d. This total represents contributions at the rate of £3 os. Id. per head of the number of children (1,441) maintained at the public cost. The total amount in the Post-Omce Savings-Bank to the credit of the earnings accounts of young people now under the control of industrial schools, or who formerly belonged to them, was £22,084 9s. 10d. at the 31st December, 1907. Of this amount, £17,514 18s. 10d. was held on account of Government schools, and £4,569 11s. for private schools. The sum withdrawn during the .year amounted to £2,157 18s. Bd. for Government schools, and £399 Bs. 9d. for private schools. School for the Deaf. The school reopened with 71 pupils on the roll —36 boys and 35 girls. During the year 4 boys and 1 girl were admitted and 1 girl left the school, thus the number belonging at the close of the year 1907 was 75—40 boys and 35 girls. . The increase in the population of the Dominion, the enactment making the education of deaf children compulsory, and the fact that it is now the practice to admit pupils at an earlier age than formerly, must all have the effect of adding to the number of children to be provided for, and the question of making additions to the residential accommodation at Sumner is now under consideration,

The expenditure on the institution for the year 1907 was : Salaries of Director and teachers, £1,589 13s. 3d.; Matron and servants, £859 65.; housekeeping, £957 7s. 10d.; travelling-expenses (including transit of pupils), £161 6s. Id.; school material, £6 16s. Bd.; clothing, £26 16s. 3d.; medical attendance and medicines, £29 11s. Bd.; water-supply, £114 55.; boarding-out of pupils, £126 18s. lid.; general maintenance of buildings, and furniture, £289 os. lid.; laying-out of grounds, erection of dairy and fowlhouses, £788 2s. 10d.; sundries, £162 6s. 2d. : total expenditure, £5,111 11s. 7d. Deducting parents' contributions, £538 4s. 4d., the net expenditure was £4,573 7s. 3d. Jubilee Institute for the Blind. This is the only school in the Dominion for the education of the blind. It is not a Government institution, although the Trustees are required by law to receive, at the direction of the Minister of Education, children who are between seven and sixteen years of age—the period fixed for the compulsory education of blind children. Notwithstanding the difficulties under which the work is being carried on at present, owing to rebuilding operations, there is much evidence that the pupils are being efficiently taught according to modern methods. . At the close of 1906 the Government was paying for 27 pupils; during 1907, 5 left and 6 were admitted, making 28 the number maintained by the Government at the end of the year. The total net amount paid by the Government during 1907 on account or the blind in New Zealand was £540 14s. 10d. A sum of £648 ss. 9d. was paid for pupils at the Jubilee Institute for the Blind; a pupil in Christchurch received special instruction at a cost of £28; expenses of inspection by an officer of the Education Department were £8 9s. 4d.; and the contributions recovered from parents and others towards the maintenance of pupils amounted to £144 os. 3d. Special Schools for the Education of Mentally Deficient Children. During the year the house of the Otekaike Estate, in North Otago, with 342 acres of the surrounding land, was acquired for the purposes of a school for boys who, by reason of deficient intelligence, cannot receive proper advantage from the ordinary public-school instruction. The appointment of a principal has also been made. Mr. George Benstead, who has had long and varied experience in the intricate work of educating this class of children, having been selected in London for the position. Before leaving England for New Zealand he visited a number of the most advanced institutions for the care of the feeble-minded, and spent a large amount of time inquiring generally into the most modern methods for their instruction. Before the institution at Otekaike actually commences operations Mr. Benstead will visit the main centres of population in the Dominion, thus obtaining a knowledge of the conditions which is necessary to a proper organization of the work here; and at the same time he will examine applicants for admission. It is hoped that the necessary alterations to the buildings at Otekaike will be far enough advanced to permit of a beginning being made with a small number of pupils before the close of the current year. The need for a similar home for girls is very pressing, but it is thought prudent to defer definite action in this respect until the institution for the boys has been established. Public Libraries. By a vote of last session a sum of £3,000 was again granted for subsidies to public libraries. Notice thereof was inserted in the Gazette of the 7th November, 1907, and forms of application were sent to all libraries known to the Department. The method of distribution of the vote was the same as that adopted in previous years — viz., a nominal addition of £25 was made to the amount of the income of each library derived from subscriptions, donations, and

rates, provided that the receipts for the year were not less than £2, and the vote was divided according to the amount thus augmented; but no library received credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case did the augmented amount on which distribution was based exceed £100. In accordance with the Gazette notice, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the 4th February, 1908, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 417 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. 5 -19d. in the pound on the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from £4 13s. 4d. to £17 ss. 6d. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows a decrease of five as compared with the number aided in the previous year. In order that the purpose intended to be served by the vote may be attained, it is made a condition for participation that the whole of the subsidy granted to each library in the previous year shall have been expended in the purchase of books. The following table shows the distribution according to the education districts : —

REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS.

[Details are in some cases omitted.] AUCKLAND. Sm, Auckland, March, 1908. The Auckland Education Board presents the following report of its proceedings during the year 1907: — Board.—The members in office at the beginning of the year were: North Ward —Mr. A. R. Harris, Mr. J. D. McKenzie, and Mr. J. Stallworthy, M.P.; East Ward—Mr. L. J. Bagnall, Mr. H. J. Greenslade, M.P., and Mr. C. J. Parr; West Ward—Mr. C. T. Barriball, Mr. G. Edgecumbe, and Mr. F. W. Lang, M.P. Messrs. McKenzie and Greenslade retired in August, and were re-elected for the North and East Wards respectively. For the West Ward Mr. G. J. Garland was elected to succeed Mr. Lang, who did not offer himself for re-election. Mr. Bagnall has acted as Chairman during the year. Twenty-three meetings of the Board were held, with an average attendance of seven members. A committee of the whole Board meets every fortnight to deal with matters of finance and the selection of teachers. Schools.—The number of schools in operation at the end of 1907 was 484, including eightytwo schools taught half-time. Four schools were permanently closed —namely, Ararimu, Oio, Orahiri, and Whakahara. Four schools in the County of Waitomo were taken over from the Taranaki Education Board, and two schools on the Main Trunk Railway line were transferred to the Wanganui Education Board. In eight schools arrangements are made for ferrying children to and from school. It has not been found practicable to arrange for the conveyance of children by road, owing (1) to the insufficiency of the grant for the purpose, and (2) to the condition of the roads in many of the outlying settlements. Teachers.—The teachers employed in December, 1907, numbered 947—males, 429; females, 518. This number includes 160 pupil-teachers. There are thus 787 teachers above pupil-teacher rank, and of these 187 are not yet fully certificated. The Board has experienced no little difficulty in providing teachers for the smaller country schools. Attendances.—At the end of the year there were 33,174 scholars enrolled in the public schools, being 719 more than the number in December, 1906. The number of Maori and half-caste scholars was 2,144, in attendance at 238 schools. The yearly average attendance was 28,057, being less than that for the previous year. This decrease is due to the prevalence of various epidemics in all parts of the district during the greater portion of the year. Teachers are required to forward monthly returns of irregular attendance, which are dealt with by the Truant Officer. His work during the year included 351 visits to schools, the examination of 3,234 returns, and the issue of 2,229 notices to parents. There were 294 informations laid against parents for non-compliance with the provisions of the Act. These resulted as follows : The number of convictions was 206, 66 cases were adjourned owing to non-service of summonses or other cause, 22 were withdrawn, none were dismissed. Scholarships.—The scholarships under tenure at the end of 1807 were: Junior National, 14; Junior District, 68; Senior District, 23: total, 105. The Board has received satisfactory reports of the diligence and progress of the holders. District High Schools.—Ten district high schools have been in operation during the year, at which there were 379 pupils in attendance at the end of the year. Training College.—Thirty-six students attended the Training College during the year. Twenty-seven students have completed the two years of their training, and all except two are now teaching in the public schools. The report of the Principal shows that, in spite of the limited accommodation, good work has been done during the year. The building now being erected will afford accommodation for eighty students. Physical and Military Drill. —The Board has to report that due attention is given to the requirements of the Act in respect of physical and military drill. In most of the schools exercises are practised daily. Military drill is taught whenever possible, and there are fifty-seven schools in which cadet corps have been organized. The cadets of the Auckland, Thames, and Ohinemuri Battalions have received a week's instruction in camp, with most beneficial results. It is desired that provision may be made by regulation for the military instruction of cadets after leaving school. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The report of the Director shows that no less a number than 1,150 students were in attendance at the Auckland Technical College during the year. A day-school for boys and girls has been established, with an attendance of 170. The three manual training schools at Auckland, and those at Thames and Whangarei, have provided instruction in cookery and woodwork for the boys and girls of the upper standards of the primary schools. Instruction in brush drawing or other handwork has been given in 231 schools. Systematic instruction in agriculture and nature-study has been given in ninety schools, and classes for the instruction of teachers have been held in various centres. The new Technical College, when erected, will provide ample accommodation for the classes which are now suffering from disadvantage of inadequate accommodation. Technical continuation classes have been established at the larger centres of population, and classes for the technical training of teachers have been held at Auckland, Thames, and Whangarei. Finance.—At the beginning of the year there was a balance in hand of £13,429 Is. 9d., including the donation of £10,000 from the trustees of the Auckland Savings-bank, towards the cost of a new building for the Technical College. A subsidy of £1 for £1 on this donation was received from Government during the year. The receipts during 1907 amounted to £187,530 16s. lid.; while the expenditure was as follows : Administration and Teachers' Salaries Account,

E.—l

.£138,370 10s. Id.; secondary education, £4,996 17s. 10d.; Manual and Technical Account, £9,753 15s. 9d.; maintenance of buildings, £14,309 14s. 6d.; new school buildings, £11,594 16s. 9d.; manual and technical buildings, £1,865 Bs.; unclassified accounts, £128 18s. 5d.: total, £181,020 Is. 4d., leaving a credit balance at the end of the year of £19,939 17s. 4d". The school buildings Maintenance Account was charged with the sum of £8,471 9s. 10d., which had been expended on new school buildings. There is still a deficiency in the New Buildings Account, owing to the generally inadequate amount of special grants. The Board has repeatedly appealed against the refusal of Government to provide the whole cost of new buildings. Buddings.—Nine schools were built, and eleven schools were enlarged during the year. Four residences were erected, and one was enlarged. The repairing, painting, and improvement of school buildings have been carried out by competent foremen, under direction of the Architect. The Board sustained a very serious loss through the death of Mr. Ft. M. Watt, who for fifteen years laboured assiduously as Architect. His former partner, Mr. John Mitchell, has been obliged through ill health to resign his office as Architect of new school buildings. The untiring labours of these gentlemen have raised the school buildings of the district to a very high standard. It is believed that the same standard will be maintained by the present Architect, Mr. John Farrell. Conclusion.—The thanks of the Board are due to the Education Department for the careful consideration of its recommendations; to the Officers of the Public Health Department for much valuable help and advice in matters of school-sanitation ; and to the School Committees of the district for their cordial co-operation during the year. 1 have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education.

TARANAKI. Sib,— New Plymouth, 22nd April, 1908. In accordance with the provisions of section IC6 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 1907: — At the beginning of the year the Board was comprised of the following members: Mr. James Wade (Chairman), Messrs. G. A. Adlam, Henry Faull, W. L. Kennedy, J. D. Morrison, Arthur Morton, William Monkhouse, Harold Trimble, and Gustave Tisch. In the terms of " The Education Act, 1905," the following members retired, and offered themselves for re-election at the election held on the fourth Monday in July, and were re-elected unopposed: North Ward, Harold Trimble; East Ward, W. L. Kennedy; West Ward, G. A. Adlam. At the meeting held on the 27th August, Mr. James Wade was re-elected Chairman. The Board held twenty-four meetings, the Finance Committee twelve, and the Teachers' Selection Committee eleven. The Reserves Committee visited a number of the school-sites, and furnished reports for most meetings. New schools have been opened at Mahakau, Newall, and Opua, and the Pohokura School was closed. The Auckland Board took over the Kaeaea, Matiere, Mangaroa, and Mangapapa Schools : of these, the Kaeaea and Mangapapa Schools were opened during the year. At the end of the year, there were eighty-one schools open, including six half-time schools, and the number of teachers employed was 147, who were graded as follows: Sole teachers, 38 female and 12 male; head teachers, 5 female and 23 male; assistants, 37 female and 8 male; pupil-teachers, 20 female and 3 male. At the annual pupil-teachers' examination three pupil-teachers entered for the first examination : two passed, and one failed. Four pupil-teachers entered and passed the D Certificate Examination, and two entered for the C Examination, gaining a partial pass. Of the senior candidates for the Board's scholarships sixteen qualified, and of the junior fifteen; Senior scholarships were awarded to five candidates from the New Plymouth High School; and Junior Scholarships to—Central, 1; Norfolk, 1; and Upper Kent, 1. The Queen's Scholarship was gained by a girl attending the Stratford District High School. The National Scholarship allotted for the district was gained by a boy attending the Stratford District High School. There have been twenty-nine appointments made during the year, besides those of a temporary nature, and appointments of pupil-teachers. Six teachers from other districts received appointments, and thirteen teachers in the service of the Board received promotion. New schools have been erected at Kaeaea and Mangapapa, and the West End, Midhirst, and Oaonui Schools have been enlarged. The old residences at Egmont Village and Opunake have been replaced by new ones, and the Toko, Salisbury, and Waiongona residences have been enlarged. The receipts of the Board from all sources, including a balance of .£2,072 17s. 4d. brought forward from 1906, amounted to £31,279 2s. 3d.; while the expenditure was as follows : Administration, £1,735 19s. 4d.; teachers' salaries and allowances, £18,642 13s. 5d.; incidental expenses of schools, £1,343 14s. 2d. ; secondary education, £1,369 155.; manual and technical, £5,777 9s. 4d. ; buildings, £2,535 Bs. Bd. : leaving a deficit of £125 17s. Bd. In the majority of our schools physical exercises are taken daily, with a more extended period for instruction once a week. In the larger schools cadet corps have been established, and this year these have been formed into two battalions, No. 1 comprising the schools in the northern part of the district, and No. 2 those in the southern. A technical building was erected on St. Michael's Square at a cost of £3,500. The building is one of the finest of its kind in the Dominion, being well equipped for present needs, and in most respects up to date. A plumbing-room has now been added to the building, and affords every convenience for the teaching of this subject. The woodwork-room at Stratford was fitted up for a cookery-room, and it was found necessary to approach the Department for a new woodworkroom. On the application being granted, a large room for the teaching of this subject was erected at the back of the main building. Elementary handwork was taken at thirty-eight schools, and sewing under the Manual Regulations at ten. In addition to the above, manual work, as defined by clauses 22—27 of the Regulations of Manual and Technical Instruction, was recognised in sixtytwo cases, the subjects embracing woodwork, cookery, 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 agriculture. It is very gratifying to be able to state that, so far as this district is concerned, the maintenance grant has proved ample to meet all requirements, as, in the opinion of the Board, the Auditor-General will approve. Teachers' residences and rent-allowances: These regulations are considered very unsatisfactory. It certainly does not seem fair or reasonable that a teacher should be deprived of rentallowance because there happens to be a mere hovel or even a whare provided in the past, while a teacher in charge of, perhaps, a same-grade school, but in a more favoured locality, enjoys a comfortable residence, or in lieu thereof full rent-allowance. The number of schools, teachers, and pupils attending the schools in the district for 1907 was as follows : Schools, 81 ; head teachers, 78; assistants, 45; pupil-teachers, 23: total number of teachers, 147. Number of pupils on the roll, 5,096. Average attendance, 4,246. 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, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Jambs Wade, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Education Office, Wanganui, 31st March, 1908. 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 1907. Board. —At the beginning of the year the members of the Board were: Messrs. F. Pirani (Chairman), A. Fraser, and G. H. Bennett, Southern Ward; D. H. Guthrie, F. M. Spurdle, and F. Purnell, Middle Ward; and G. Carson, E. Dickson, and James Smith, Northern Ward. The retiring members for the year were Messrs. A. Fraser, D. H. Guthrie, and G. Carson; and at the election in August the following were returned : Messrs. Fraser, D. H. Guthrie, and W. C. Cargill. Mr. F. Pirani, Feilding, was reappointed Chairman. The Board held twelve ordinary and two special meetings. The average number of members in attendance was eight. The following were appointed to represent the Board on various public bodies: Training College Board of Advice, Wellington, Gilbert Carson, Esq.; School Commissioners, F. Y. Lethbridge, Esq., M.P.; Palmerston North High School Board of Governors, G. H. Bennett, Esq. At the close of the year 184 main schools and four side schools were open. The following were opened during the year : Tokaora, Mangawhio, Waionui (the two last named taking the place of household schools) ; Makatote and Raurimu were transferred from the control of the Auckland Board at the beginning of the second quarter. During the same period the following were closed : Maungaporau, Rata Flat, Raketapauma, and Pukeroa (temporarily). At the beginning of the year the Patea School was raised to the rank of a district high school. As might be surmised, the principal area of the extension of new schools follows the route of the Main Trunk Railway. There were under the Board's supervision eight Roman Catholic schools, concerning which information is given by the Inspectors in their reports.

Teachers. —At the close of the year there were, including three relieving-teachers, 377 teachers in the Board's service, of whom 167 were men and 210 women. In respect of qualification, 236 of the head and assistant teachers were certificated or held licenses, and 141 were uncertificated. As a number of teachers from the Training College entered the Board's service at the beginning of 1908, and as more will do so from time to time, it is certain that the ratio of uncertificated to certificated teachers will diminish year by year. The Board notes with satisfaction that a large number of teachers successfully sat for higher certificates at the January, 1908, examinations. In the teaching, as in the other branches of the public service, the need of reform is ever present. Improvement in the staffing of the schools and in the salaries of the teachers are the reforms that the well-being of our primary schools demand. The qualifications of the teachers of this district may be set out thus : Al, 3; A2, 1. 81, 4; 82, 2; 83, 2. CI, 9; C2, 5; C3, 5; C4,3; C5, 1. Dl, 23; D2, 30; D3, 41; D4, 14. El, 14; E2, 27; E3, 31 ;-E4, 6. Licensed, 15. Attendance.—At the close of the year the roll-number stood at 13,046, and the attendance averaged 10,973. Compared with last year, there has been a decrease of the average attendance for the year of 131, although the roll increased by 175. The average attendance for the year expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly roll for the year, was 82'9, which is considerably lower than for some years. This result is undoubtedly due to the extraordinary amount of sickness prevailing during the winter months; in some districts measles and other epidemics recurred again and again, and the educational harvest has been considerably impaired by such a state of affairs. Finance.—The Board began the year with a credit balance on the General Account of £201 19s. 3d., and a debit balance on the Building Account of £2,046 9s. Id. At the end of the year the balance on the General Account was, debit," £4,127 Bs., and on the Building Account, debit, £1,004 ss. Taking into consideration the money assets and liabilities, including the balance of maintenance grant, the actual state of the accounts on the 31st December, 1907, was as follows: General Account, credit, £617 10s. 10d.; Building Account, credit, £769 ss. lid. Reference to the statement of receipts and expenditure for the year shows the amounts received and expended under the different headings. Buildings.—During the year new schools were built at Orautoha and Himatangi, and new residences at Kaitoke, Mangamahu, Foxton, and Alton. Additions have been made to Denlair, Mosstown, Kaponga, Eltham, Linton, Sedgebrook, and Taihape Schools, and to Ashhurst and Kimbolton residences; while repairs have been made at Brunswick and Marion Schools and Maxwell and Okoia residences. The demands on the building grant increases year by year, and there are certain desirable, necessary, and even urgent works which, through the inadequacy of this grant, the Board has been unable to face. There are a number of buildings, erected more than twenty vears ago, which, because of their insanitary situation or economical construction, have either to be rebuilt or almost entirely reconstructed ; and these present a problem, not solved by the amount of the maintenance grant, or any theoretical idea about the life of buildings, or the setting-aside of a reconstruction fund. As settlement advances and the standard of living increases, better buildings are required, and a school or residence considered good enough for a backblocks settlement becomes a reproach to a closely populated town. In regard to residences especially, the difficulties are very great. In districts where houses are unobtainable it is generally the case that the cost of building is heavy, while the fact of one room being attached to a school is made a reason why a teacher with a family is not allowed house allowance, and, as no grants have been made by the Department for residences for six months or more, it is impossibe to face the question of building. It may be difficult for the Department to come to a conclusion as to which course to pursue in this matter, but the whole matter is one of urgency, and the health, comfort, and well-being of the teachers necessitate strong representations being made in this matter. Office Accommodation.—The present building is utterly inadequate to the needs of a growing district; so inadequate is it that it is a bar to efficient administration. It is to be hoped that during the next session of Parliament it will be possible to promote successfully a Bill to secure to the Board the site on which the office stands, which is merely an unclassified Government reserve. (In this connection the Board consider that additional office accommodation is as much a charge on the Building Fund as additions to schools.) Tt would then be possible to erect a building suited to present requirements. Scholarships.—The following are the awards for the present year (1908) : Board's Senior : Feilding District High Scnool; Wanganui Collegiate; Wanganui Girls' College: and Nelson College. Board's Junior: Queen's Park, Wanganui; Aramoho: Upokongaro; Wanganui District High School; and Palmerston North High School. Queen's Scholarships : Queen's Park, Wanganui : and Wanganui District High School. Junior National : Queen's Park, Wanganui ; Terrace End, Palmerston North : and Wanganui District High School. Thirteen boys and four girls took scholarships this year. Sixteen of the successful candidates belong to town and one to country schools. One effect of raising the Junior Scholarship age to fourteen will be to place country candidates in a more favourable position than they previously were. An Agricultural Scholarship of the value of £20, the gift of Mr. S. fiibbous, of Marton, in memory of his late father, was awarded to Upper Tutaenui School. A Hawera County Science Scholarship will be awarded at the close of the present year. Training of Teachers. —Saturday classes for the training of teachers were held continuously throughout the year. Science was taken at Palmerston North, Marton, and Wanganui; cookery at Wanganui and Palmerston North ; handwork at Wanganui and Hawera; and dairying at Hawera. Certificates of merit were awarded to the students at the end of the courses of lessons, and there can be no doubt but a ereat deal of excellent work was done. Tn this connection there should be mentioned a highly successful summer school, conducted by Dr. Marshall, of Otago University, who lectured continuously for a week on the physical geography of the district. A winter school, for the benefit of uncertificated teachers and teachers from remote schools, was held in June, and five teachers, selected by the Inspectors, enjoyed the privilege of a three-weeks attendance at the Training College, Wellington.

E.—l

School Handwork.—lt appears from Mr. Varney's report that interest in this form of schoolwork continues to grow. Last year (1906) handwork was taken in 121 schools, and in the year to which this report refers it was taken in 153 schools. School Technical Classes. —During the year there was a great expansion in the volume of work done in the classes that come under this heading. The Board was fortunate in securing the services of Mr. It. Browne, whose classes in dairy-work, twenty-one in number, evoked intense interest among the pupils. Mr. Grant continued his work in connection with school agriculture, and at the end of the year there were gardens attached to eighty-one schools, as against forty-six in 1906. It has been arranged—the only satisfactor} , arrangement possible in this district—that the schools may take a combination course in agriculture and dairying, and it is to be hoped that the Department will make such a grant for this course as will promote its extension among the schools. Messrs. Clark and Bannister taught woodwork in ten schools, and'Misses Mollison and Fergus taught cookery in the same number. As Miss Mollison now takes cookery classes in connection with the Wanganui Girls' College, it has been found necessar}- to appoint Miss F. Grant to assist her. The woodwork classes have also increased, and it will be necessary for Mr. Fossey, the Director of the Feilding Technical School, to take the woodwork there. Technical Instruction. —For the purposes of technical instruction, the district has been divided into three subdistricts, each under the direction of a Supervisor. The results of the labours of the Supervisors, so far as providing the means of instruction are concerned, "should satisfy the most exactingly prog-ressive minds. In the Northern District, under the supervision of Mr. Hintz, one new school—Eltham Technical School—comprising a soience-room, a woodwork-room, and a cookery-room, was completed. Another school, that at Patea, comprising a cookery and a woodwork room, was in course of construction, while, for yet a third, at Manaia, comprising a room for agricultural and dairying science, sufficient money was raised to induce the Department to make a substantial grant towards the building. Through want of a suitable site, and, perhaps, also through want of interest on the part of the public, no satisfactory technical rooms are yet available at Hawera. From Mr. Hintz's report it will bo seen that classes were conducted at different centres in the district. In all, the people of the Northern District subscribed £323 14s. id. towards the erection of technical buildings. In the Central District, under Mr. Varnoy's supervisorship, the Marton Technical School, comprising a science-room, a woodwork-room, a cookery-room, and a class-room, was completed, and opened by the Hon. the Minister of Education on the 24th August. At Taihape sufficient money was subscribed locally to justify the Department in making a grant this year of £470 towards the erection of a school, and at Bull's the amount raised should produce a liberal response from the Department. An engineering department has been added to the Wanganui School, and Mr. Denis Seaward, A.R.C.A., is being brought from England to take charge of the art department. The total amount subscribed in the Central District towards the erection of technical buildings is £266 10s. 2d. Day technical classes have been started at Wanganui, with what success the Board will be in a position to determine by the end of the year. In the Southern District, which till the close of the year had been under the supervisorship of Mr. Amos, there was great extension in the technical work. The Feilding Technical School, comprising science, art, woodwork, cookery, plumbing and class rooms, a handsome structure in brick, will bo ready for occupation when the classes start this year. Mr. H. Fossey, whose experience at Home and in the Dominion has been varied and ample, has been appointed to the directorship. Under his direction the school may be expected to prove of immense benefit to the large and prosperous district in which it is situated. During the year the sum of £424' 4s. was raised in the Southern District towards the construction of technical buildings. Physical and Military Drill.—Deep-breathing exercises are taken at nearly all the schools. There are now quite a number of cadet corps in the district, and in most cases these corps are finely officered. Arbor Day.—At most of the schools Arbor Day was enthusiastically celebrated. The day was made the occasion not only of tree-planting, which was done on an extensive scale, but also of ornamenting the school walls with pictures, as well of social intercourse and patriotic speeches. It is believed that the time was spent to distinctly educative advantage. Pupil-teachers.—At the close of the year there were in the Board's service fifty-four pupilteachers—sixteen boys and tliirty-eight girls. The Board is glad to observe that among the applicants for the position of pupil-teachers there are now considerable numbers holding the Matriculation or Civil Service Certificate. Having but a short period of service, pupil-teachers with these certificates may return from the Training College as fully trained teachers in four or five years. The scholarship system, and the extension of the district high schools, make it possible for promising pupils in every part of the district to enter the teaching profession. The system of central instruction of pupil-teachers has not been an unqualified success, and it is proposed to revert to the former method of training, except in the case of drawing and singing, which will continue to be taken at centres. Inspection of Schools. —A committee of the Board closely scrutinised the reports of the Inspectors during the year; and the opinion of the committee, as expressed to the Board, is that the work of the schools is maintained at a very satisfactory level of efficiency. One pleasing feature which a perusal of the Inspectors' reports reveals is the extension of the study of elementary science and of various practical subjects. Nearly all the candidates for the proficiency certificate were examined towards the end of the year, either by the Inspectors directly, or at special centres, supervised by the teachers. This arrangement has much to commend it, and no serious difficulty was experienced in carrying it out. School Furniture and Apparatus.—ln continuance of its previous policy, single desks alone were sent out by the Board to the schools. The desk supplied has metal standards and adjustments, with a rimu top, and there can be no question of its durability and serviceableness. Apparatus and material was also supplied on a liberal scale, the Board being of the opinion that, if modern methods be insisted on, modern appliances must be supplied. New Drains at Old Schools.—The Board had to face a serious problem in connection with sanitation at several of the largest schools. The extension or introduction of sewage systems neces-

sitated the replacement of the old pan system with one more in accordance with modern requirements; but, unfortunately, there was no provision for such extensive expenditure as this involved — in four schools alone this work involving a cost of fully £800. The first school, Campbell Street, Palmerston North, was equipped at a cost of .£230, but, although the Board has been served with legal notice to equip the schools at Eltham, Feildiag, and College Street, Palmerston North, similarly, the finances do not justify such an expenditure, except out of an overdraft obtained on the personal guarantee of the members. An appeal was made to the Minister for assistance, and it is still hoped that the magnitude and importance of the work will be sufficient reason for compliance with the desire of the Board. Method of Payment ov Teachers' Salaries. —Since the introduction of the colonial scale, teachers have been compelled to pay the exchange on cheques for salaries. The Board decided, from the beginning of this year, to pay teachers' salaries and School Committees' allowances free of exchange. It is intended for the future to pay teachers' salaries, as far as possible, through the bank, instead of, as hitherto, by cheque. PosTAUE. —The Board has minimised to some extent the cost of having to pay for postage and telegrams, by only providing for outgoing expense of this sort; but it has been considered unfair to mulct teachers and Committees in the cost of official correspondence, and from the beginning of 1908 the Board -will provide for this, the expenditure being estimated at £300 a year —a burden on the finances which hardly accords with the idea of improving them, especially when it is remembered that free postage did not add a penny to the Dominion's expenditure, while it-savours of a farce to pay capitation to the Hoard and then,to take £300 a year out of it for postage. Note to Teachers.—The Board has again to refer in the highest terms to the capability, industry, and enthusiasm of the general body of teachers, for, with hardly an exception, they have proved their fitness for the very important work intrusted to them Inspectorial Staff.— The district is fortunate in its staff of Inspectors, all three carrying on its work most ably, whilst the Chief Inspector, Mr. G. D. Braik, has proved the mainspring of many new and useful movements for the improvement of the education of the district, and a perfect genius for organizing systematic methods, and inculcating the best principles to be utilised. I have, &0., The Hon. the Minister of Education. Fred. Pihani, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sie, — Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1908. In accordance with the requirements of " The Education Act, 1904," 1 beg to submit the following report of the Education Board of the Dis&ict of Wellington for the year 1907 : — The ballot held in compliance with the requirements of '' The Education Act Amendment Act, '1905," resulted in the retirement of Messrs. Lee (City), Field, M.P. (Manawatu-Hutt), and Hogg, M.l'. (Wairurapa), who were re-elected, the last two unopposed. A vacancy caused by the resignation of the Rev. W. A. Evans was filled by the election of Mr. J. G. W. Aitken, M.P. The membership of the Board at the end of the year was thus: Wellington City Ward —Messrs. J. G. W. Aitken, M.P., W. Allan, 11. Lee; Manawatu-Hutt Ward—Messrs. W. H. Field, M.P., J. Kebbell, Captain McDonald; Wairarapa Ward —Messrs. W. C. Buchanan, A. W. Hogg, M.P., A. H. Vile. At the August meeting Mr. R. Lee was unanimously re-elected Chairman. The Board's representative Managers of Technical Schools were: Wellington—Messrs. Aitken, Allan, and Captain McDonald; Petone —Captain McDonald and Mr. Vile; Puhiatua—Messrs. Buchanan and Vile. Mr. J. It. Blair continued to represent the Board on the Wellington School Commissioners. Number of Schools. —A-t the beginning of 1907 155 schools were in operation. During the year there were opened Homeburn, Kauhiku, Kaikuri, Pakowai, and Pakaraka—all household schools; and there were closed Tikaramonga and Homeburn : leaving 158 in operation at the end of the year. Attendance. — The average roll and attendance for the respective quarters and the year were: March 10,526, 14,403; June 16,528, 13,887; September 16,532, 13,636; December 16,669, 14,103: year 16,564, 14,007. The percentage of attendance was 84'6, the lowest since 1903. The corresponding figures for the year 1906 were—roll, 16,416; attendance, 14,356; percentage, 87'5. While the roll increased by 148 as compared with 1906, the average attendance decreased by 349, or nearly 3 per cent, of the average number enrolled. This serious decrease is almost wholly due to epidemics, chielly whoopiug'-eough and innuenza, which prevailed over nearly the whole district, and in many instances affected the attendance of three quarters. The following are the statistics of the Truant Officer for the year: Number of schools visited, 462: cases reported by head teachers, and dealt with, 3,835; proceedings instituted, 141; convictions recorded, 120; cases withdrawn owing to improved attendance, 9; cases withdrawn in order that police might take other action, 6; fines inflicted, £16 175., costs £37 2s.—total, £53 195.; cases dismissed—l for sickness, 1 owing to father not being responsible; and summonses unserved, 4. There were enrolled twenty-three children of school age whose education was being neglected. A large number of neglected children came under notice, and were reported to the police. The Board desires again to urge the desirability of amendment of section 141 of " The Education Act, 1904," which permits the absence of a child one day in each week of the school year. The Board has reason to believe that a considerable number of parents, week by week, purposely send their children to school only the bare minimum number of times required by law, and it desires to record again its opinion that, as the State provides free education, every child should, in the absence of valid excuse, be required to attend daily. Teaching Staff. —At the close of the year there were in the service of the Board 139 male and 218 female teachers, 14 male and 70 female pupil-teachers—total, 153 males, 288 females, oi , 441 in all, an increase of 4 during the year. The corresponding numbers for 1906 were 157 males, 280 females, or 437 in all. Included in the above numbers are 68 uncertificated teachers, to 23 of whom had been granted a license to teach. The Board has by circular intimated to these teachers its desire that they should endeavour to obtain a full certificate. Of the pupil-teachers who were required to sit for examination only two failed to pass. The Board's experience during the past year confirms the opinion expressed in its report for 1906, that in some grades the staffing is inadequate, and it trusts that, as the result of the consideration which it understands the matter is now receiving, relief may be afforded by some increase in the staffing of those grades wherein the strain on the teacher is too great. Instruction of Teachers. —The courses of instruction arranged for teachers on Saturdays embraced the following : Subjects—Drawing and handwork, agriculture, cookery, woodwork, singing and deep breathing; centres —Wellington, Masterton, Greytown, and Levin; instructors — Technical School staff, Mr. Davies, Miss Ivey, Miss Talbot, Mr. Howe, Mr. Parker. Mrs. Neely conducted a students' class of twenty-three in cookery, and Mr. Howe one of sixteen in woodwork. It is very gratifying to the Board that so large a number of teachers arc prepared, for the sake of improvement in their profession, to forfeit a part at least of their Saturday leisure. Training College.—The report of the Principal of the Training College shows that during the past year —the second year of its existence —the College had its full complement of eighty students, and that nearly all the education districts in the Middle University Area were represented. Fortysix students completed their two-years course, and left at the end of the year. Nearly all of these have since received positions. The efforts of the Principal and the Committee of Advice to keep the work of the College in touch with the needs of schools, and especially of small country schools, meet with the approval of the Board. The special winter course instituted for the benefit of teachers in small country schools, including, as it did, teachers from all parts of the Middle University District, was a movement .in the right direction, and one which, as the Principal suggests, should be followed up by others on the same or similar lines. The section of the Principal's report dealing with the lack of fully qualified teachers in our own and other education districts demands earnest attention.

E.-l

Scholarships.—There were held at the end of tlie year the following Junior Scholarships: Board, 64; National, 9; Queen's, 7. On the results of the examination of December, 1907, there were awarded Junior Scholarships—Board, 35; National, 3; Queen's, 1. For the Board Junior Scholarship! there were 219 candidates; for Board Senior Scholarships there were G7 candidates, to 10 of whom were awarded Senior Scholarships. DISTRICT High Schools.—Ten district high schools -were in operation. The total averages decreased from 540 in 1906 to 463 in 1907. Their work is discussed in detail in the Inspectors' Report. Manual and Technical Instruction.—During the year capitation, under Manual and Technical Regulations, was earned by 116 schools, as compared with 120 in 1906 and 110 in 1905. The subjects in which instruction was given were handwork, elementary agriculture, needlework (with instructor when head teacher is a male), elementary chemistry, physiology and first aid, swimming and life-saving, elementary physical measurements, dairy-work, dressmaking, cookery, and woodwork. The instructor in woodwork began his duties in June in the woodwork-room at the Training College, and in rooms rented at Newtown until the completion of the South Wellington woodwork and cookery buildings. The erection of this fine technical building, of the cookery and science rooms at Levin, and the fitting-up of science and cookery rooms at Greytown and Carterton should render the work of instruction at these centres both more pleasant and more efficient. The work of instruction in agriculture is dealt with at length in the report of the Inspectors. The number of school classes increased from forty-two to fifty. Physical and Military Drill.—ln their report the Inspectors note that" physical drill receives due attention; that breathing exercises find a prominent place in the programmes of all schools; and that, so far as it affects the school work, military drill is very good. Buildings.—During the year the following buildings, the cost of which was met by Government grant, were erected : Ohau and Alfredton, new schools, to replace buildings destroyed by fire ; Muhunoa, new school; Ihuraua and Manakau, additions; Levin, cookery and science rooms; South Wellington, cookery and woodwork centre; Te Horo, ltangitumau, Korora, and Rongokakako, residences. From its own funds the Board has erected a new school at Wainuiomata, effected small enlargements at four schools, sheds and fences at nine, and overhauled thirty schools and ten residences, besides effecting minor repairs to a number of others. The need for increased school accommodation, especially in suburban areas, engaged the serious attention of the Board, and grants for new schools and for enlargement of schools at Johnsonville, Levin, Upper Hutt, Muranui, Worser Bay, and Lansdowne will presently provide for the increasing population of these districts, while it has become evident that at Hutt, Martinborough, Petone, and Waikanae additional accommodation should be provided without delay. The Board found it necessary to purchase a number of sites in localities where population is rapidly increasing, and of these the Department contributed half-cost. Against the proposal that, where the sum is considerable, only half-cost of sites should be provided by grants, the Board enters its protest, as this limitation involves the diversion from building-maintenance of moneys urgently required for works already too long delayed. The Board holds that for sites in new districts it should not be required to provide the purchase-money. ■Extreme difficulty is still experienced in satisfactorily staffing our backblocks schools, and it warmly approves the recommendation of Inspectors that small residences should be erected in all districts where proper accommodation for the teacher is not procurable. Grants have been made for such residences in four districts, and there are several others where house accommodation must soon be provided. Finance. —The total receipts were as follows, including balance, 31st December, 1906, £563 12s. Bd.: Administration, £16,428 11s. Bd.; building, £11,543 3s. 2d. ; secondary, including scholarships, £5,747 195.; Manual and Technical School classes, £2,671 Bs. 3d.; teachers' salaries, £50,954 18s. 5d.; Technical Schools, £6,571 6s. Bd. : total, £94,480 19s. 10d. The total expenditure was £95,039 16s. 5d.; leaving a debit balance on the 31st December, 1907, of £558 16s. 7d. The Board is pleased to record that substantial benefit has been conferred on over twenty schools by donations to their manual and technical funds, made chiefly for the establishment and improvement of school gardens. Donations, with the Government subsidy, resulted in the erection of a room for science in one district; in the purchase of a 2-acre technical-school site in another, and elsewhere in the purchase of a good microscope or other useful piece of apparatus. Large donations have in like manner, through local interest and generosity, resulted in improved equipment in at least three of our district high schools. General. —The Board acknowledges with appreciation the services of School Committees, who contribute an important factor in the success of education in this district, and it has observed with pleasure the interest in education displayed by public bodies. It commends to the attention of other Chambers the worthy example of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, which annually awards prizes for highest proficiency in arithmetic, composition, and writing to pupils attending each of the city schools. Finally, acknowledgment is made of the uniformly courteous attention of officers of the Education Department to the business of the Board, and of the faithful services of the administrative and teaching staffs of the Board. I have, ifec, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Robert Lee, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, 2nd May, 1908. In accordance with the provisions of section 166 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 31st December, 1907. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Messrs. T. Tanner, S. McLernon, C. M. Whittington, W. Maddison, O. Ericksen, G. E. Darton, W. Morgan, Pastor Ries, and Rev. A. Grant. In May Sir William Russell was elected, vice Mr. W. C. Maddison, resigned. In July the Rev. A. Grant (South Ward), Messrs. T. Tanner (Middle Ward), and G. E. Dalton (North Ward) retired in accordance with the provisions of the Act. All were reelected. At the first meeting of the new Board Sir William Russell was elected Chairman. During the year twelve meetings were held, the average attendance of members being 7'5. Schools. —On the 31st December, 1906, there were in operation 101 schools'. During the year eleven new schools were established, and eleven temporarily closed, so that the number open in December, 1907, was 101. Teachers. —At the end of the year there were 252 teachers in the Board's service—viz., 82 males, 118 females, and 53 pupil-teachers. Unfortunately a large number (forty-five) of the adult teachers are without certificates, and many, owing to want of training, are quite unqualified. The

E.—l

Inspectors urge that something should bo done to give such teachers a course of training, so that thev might the better be fitted to carry out their duties in accordance with the requirements of the regulations. The Board has under consideration a scheme to enable something to be done in this direction. Training of Teachers.—During the year Saturday classes for teachers have been held at Dannevirke —in physical instruction, drawing, cookery, and woodwork ; at Napier —in cookery, Woodwork, and dressmaking; and at Giaborne —in cookery, woodwork, and dressmaking. The attendances at the classes and the work done have, on the whole, been satisfactory, the work done at the cookery classes at Napier and Gisborne being good. Attendance. —There were enrolled in the district at the end of the year 9,363 pupils, an increase of 214 on last year. The average attendance was 7,878. The regularity represented—viz., 83 - 7 of the roll-number —does not compare favourably with that of several other education districts where the climatic conditions are less favourable. Some allowance must, however, be made for sickness, which has been rife throughout the district; but still the attendance is deplorably poor. More strenuous efforts will be made during the coming year to enforce attendance. _ Scholarships.—ln December last the number of scholarship-holders in the district was 44— viz., 7 Junior National, 8 Board's Senior, and 29 Board's Junior. Buildings and Appliances.—New buildings have been erected during the year as follow : New schools at Pakipaki, Mangahe, and Wigan; and new residences at Mangaho, Meeanee, and Puketapu. Residences are also in course of construction at Puketitiri and Waipiro Bay. At the end of the year the Boardjiad before the Department applications for seven new schools, and for additions to two existing schools ; also for two residences. Some of the buildings asked for are very urgently required, and it is hoped the Department will deal promptly and liberally with these applications. The existing school buildings and residences are maintained in fair order and repair. Painters are permanently engaged by Hie Board to work under the direction of the Architect, and schools are painted inside and outside in regular order. The Board has spent much time in considering suitable apparatus and appliances for schools. In a number of the old schools the furniture is becoming past repair, and the Board hopes to be able to replace this with either single or dual desks, the latter for preference; but the cost is the bar to their general adoption at present. All the schools will shortly be equipped with up-to-date apparatus, so that the working-conditions will be much improved. Inspection and Examination of Schools.—Owing to the rapid increase in the school attendance it was found necessary to appoint an additional Inspector. Mr. J. A. Smith, 8.A., has been appointed, and it will now be possible for each school to be visited by an Inspector at least twice a year. The synchronous examination for proficiency certificates took place in December. Thirty centres were selected, and 705 candidates, including forty-seven from the Catholic schools, presented themeslves. The results will be found in the Inspectors' report for the year. Manual and Technical. —There has been still further extension of school classes during the year, and instruction in cookery, dressmaking, and woodwork was given_ at Gisborno, Napier, Hastings, Waipawa, and Dannevirke, the children of twenty-two schools receiving the benefit. The question of the appointment of itinerary instructors in agriculture and dairying is being carefully considered by the Board, and it is very probable that next year those important subjects will receive the attention they deserve. The technical schools at Napier, Hastings, and Waipawa are now completed, so the conditions under which classes work are materially improved. Drill. —This subject continues to receive special attention from the teachers'. In all the larger schools cadets corps are established, and the inspecting officer has expressed himself as more than satisfied with the work being done. Breathing and physical exercises are carried out in most schools. District High Schools.—The district high schools at Woodville, Hastings, and Gisborne were examined in December by the Board's Inspectors, who report that good work is being done. A number of candidates entered for the matriculation and other examinations, and many successes have been gained. Waipawa has now to be added to the list of district high schools. Finance. —The balance-sheet shows the financial position of the Board to be satisfactory. The claims on the funds for the rebuilding of schools and the renewal of furniture and apparatus are becoming heavier as the schools become older, and it is only by judiciously allotting the money that the amount granted by the Government can be made to cover the cost of the necessary works. The grants for new buildings have, in all cases during the year, been made to cover the cost of the works; but, to enable this to be done, the specifications have had to be amended in many cases at the cost of the quality of the work. In a scattered district like Hawke's Bay the cost of the same class of work in different parts of the district frequently differs very greatly, and the Board would be glad if the Department could make it legally possible for the amounts which might be saved on certain contracts to be expended on those others the cost of which exceeds the amounts granted. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. AV. R. Russell, Chairman.

MARLBOROUGH. Sir, — Education Board, Blenheim, 9th March, 1908. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," the Marlborough Education Board has the honour to present the following report of the proceedings for the year 1907 :— Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : R. McCallum, E. H. Penny, J. J. W. White, representing Central Ward; John Conolly, W. H. Macey, W. B. Parker, representing Eastern Ward; H. M. Reader, Rev. W. B. Scott, J. S. Storey, representing Western Ward. During the year the Rev. W. B. Scott resigned his seat, and at the election to fill the vacancy Mr. John Smith (the Board's late Secretary) was returned. The members who retired by effluxion of time were Messrs. McCallum, Parker, and Storey; but at the election to fill the vacancies all three were returned. At the first meeting of the new Board Mr. McCallum. was unanimously re-elected Chairman. Schools. —The number of schools in operation during the year was seventy-seven. Of these, sixty-nine were inspected by the Board's Inspector, who, in addition, inspected five private schools. Full particulars as to the efficiency of the schools and of the results of examinations are set forth in the Inspector's annual report. The position in regard to the small isolated schools in the Sounds is still unaltered. It is quite evident that unless some centralising scheme can be adopted—which can only be effected by the use of launches —the instruction received by the children in such places

12—E. 1,

E.—l

will continue to be of a comparatively low standard. Centralisation by launch would at present be costly and not free from danger, and the amount of time spent by the children on the water would be out of all proportion to the benefit derived. There is great difficulty in obtaining qualified teachers for the small remuneration afforded by the limited number of children available in each locality. Training of Teachers.—Saturday classes for teachers were held throughout the year, the subjects being cookery, agricultural chemistry, and (during the latter part of the year) singing. Manual and Technical. —Instruction in manual and technical subjects is now given in most of the schools. The subjects most widely taught were brushwork and modelling in plasticine. Other classes carried on were -woodwork, cookery, elementary agriculture, needlework, &c. The Board regrets to note the reduction of capitation on cookery classes from 15s. to 12s. 6d., when an increase of 2s. 6d. was rather to be expected. In administering these classes even the largest Boards, such as Auckland and North Canterbury, find it necessary to make this part of our education system no longer free. Theiefore it can be easily understood that the smaller Boards are likely to be seriously hampered by this reduction. This Board is of opinion that the time lias arrived when the whole control of manual and technical school classes in each district should be placed in the hands of the respective Education Boards —the Government merely providing a grant based on the yearly average attendance. At present there appears to be a great deal of unnecessary registration of classes, &c, involving much loss of time; and it is inconceivable that the classes could not be properly established and conducted without the numberless forms used in the present administration of this branch of the system. Scholarships.—The number of scholarships in force at the close of the year was sixteen, including three Junior National Scholarships. On the results of the examination held in December seven Board Scholarships and one National Scholarship were awarded. The Board is pleased to note that the maximum age of candidates for Junior National Scholarships has been.raised to fourteen years. Phtsical Instruction.-—Physical instruction is carried on in all but two very small schools in the district. The Inspector reports that the cadet companies preserve a highly satisfactory degree of efficiency. The Board is pleased to record that during the year two valuable donations for the encouragement of rifle shooting among the cadets were received—one from Mr. J. C. Chaytor, of £105, to enable the Board to provide annually at least five prizes of £1 each; the other, a Champion Belt from Mr. J. F. Nosworthy, to be held each year by the boy making the highest score at the annual competition. Buildings.—During the year a new school, with, living-rooms attached, has been built at To Awaite, and a teacher's residence erected at Ward. The re-erection of the Spring Creek School and the erection of a school at Rimu Gully are now in hand. The school building at the Grove was shifted to Linkwater, in order to have one central school for the Cullensville and Grove districts. A large amount was spent on maintenance, and most of the buildings owned by the Board are now in a very fair state of repair. Finance.—The balance-sheet shows a credit balance of £527 16s. 3d. ; but the liabilities at the end of the year amount to a considerable sum, and it will therefore still be necessary to observe the strictest economy. Staff.—Mr. John Smith, who had so capably filled the position of Secretary and Treasurer for seventeen years, continued in office till the 31st May, when he retired on superannuation. Mr. E. S. Hylton was appointed to fill the vacancy. I am, &c, William H. Macet, Acting-Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

NELSON. Sir, — Education Office, Nelson, 28th April, 1908. I have the honour to lay before you the report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1907. The Board.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following gentlemen : Messrs. Andrew Thomas Maginnity (Chairman), William Lock, Frederick William Oscar Smith, East Ward; William Norris Franklyn, John Diedrich Beuke, Thomas John Baigent, Middle Ward ; Thomas Bailie, John William Fair, and George Bell Shepherd, West Ward. In accordance with the provisions of the law the Board drew lots as to which members should retire from office during the year. Messrs. A. T. Maginnity, J. D. Beuke, and J. W. Fair were balloted out, and at the election in July last to supply the vacancies thus caused Messrs. Maginnity and Beuke were re-elected, and Mr. Job Lushanus Munson replaced Mr. Fair. At the annual meeting Mr. Maginnity was re-elected Chairman. Meetings of the Boaed.—The Board held twenty-four meetings during the year, the average attendance at each meeting being eight. Primary Schools.—At the close of the year 1906 there were 108 schools in operation. During the year under review seven household schools were opened and six others closed. The small school at Rocky River was reopened and a school started on the Wangapeka Settlement, a district recently thrown open by the Government. A side school to Charleston was also established at Rahui (Nine-mile Beach). At the end of the year the schools in operation numbered 111, forty-three of these, however, being schools in Grade 0. District High Schools.—There are now four district high schools in operation—namely, at Westport, Reefton, Motueka, and Takaka; the latter school being opened on the Ist July last with an attendance of over twenty pupils. Attendance op Scholars.—There has been a considerable decrease in the roll-number and average attendance during the year, an unusual amount of sickness and the prevalence of several epidemics being responsible in a large measure for this decrease. The numbers for 1906 and 1907 are as follows: 1906—R011-number, 5,612; average attendance, 4,837'75. 1907-—Roll-number, 5,542; average attendance, 4,681'75.

E.—l

Physical Instruction. —In nearly every school in the district physical instruction is taught, and the Board has reason to believe that this branch of work is efficiently oarried on. Cadet corps or detachments are established at seventeen schools. Buildings.—The Board carried out a large building programme during the year. An additional room was erected at the Hampden Street Side School, Nelson, to provide for the increased attendance at the school. A building was erected at Little Wanganui, taking the place of a very dilapidated structure in which the school-work had been carried on. An addition was made to the school building at Kiwi, the teacher's residence at Collingwood was rebuilt, and two rooms added and improvements effected at the teacher's residence, Wai-iti. The rebuilding of the Westport School in brick was advanced a further stage during the year, four class-rooms with corridors being added to the two rooms built in 1905. The Board received a grant of £1,400 from the Government towards the cost of this work, the balance, amounting to .£l,lOO, being supplied by the Board from its ordinary grants. After some lengthened delay the Board has succeeded in rebuilding the school for girls in Nelson on an eminently suitable site in Shelbourne Street. This addition to our scholastic institutions is highly appreciated by the parents and the public generally. The Government being unable to see their way to give a grant for the erection of this building, the Board has provided the necessary funds, and by careful administration has done so without in any way prejudicing the needs or claims of other schools in the district. Superannuation.—ln December last 106 teachers and officials were recorded as being contributors to the Teachers' Superannuation Fund. During the year one contributor retired medically unfit. Manual and Technical Instruction.—Great advances have been made in the district in regard to this important branch of education. The Nelson Technical School has been well supported during the year; technical and school classes in agricultural chemistry and elementary.agriculture, woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking have been held in some of the country centres, while in a large number of the public schools manual instruction has been carried on with every success. An exhibition of technical-school and public-school pupils' work held in Nelson in December last gave a splendid idea of the value of this important branch of education. During the year the Inspectors were appointed Superintendents of Manual and Technical Instruction, and the Board now takes this opportunity of expressing its appreciation of the very efficient manner in which they have carried out their duties. This remark also applies to the local Superintendents at Reefton and Westport. Owing to the great increase of work in this department the Board has now appointed a Director of Technical Schools. The new building at Wakefield for technical classes was completed at the beginning of the year, and has proved suitable in every respect for its purpose. The Board regrets that up to the present the Department has not seen its way to authorise the erection of a similar building at Motueka, where equal demands seem to exist. A new building for technical classes at Westport has now been authorised, and plans are being prepared by the Board's Architect. Finance.—The appended general statement of receipts and expenditure shows that the Board's .position financially is satisfactory. The request made to the Department during the year—viz., that the Education Department and the Audit Department should come to an understanding regarding the forms on which the statements of receipts and expenditure and balances are entered— is again reiterated. The present arrangement is unsatisfactory, resulting as it does in the Board being practically denied a clear certificate from the Auditor-General, presumably owing to a difference of opinion between the two Departments. It is with regret that we have to record the removal by death of our Secretary, Mr. Stead Ellis, since the close of the year. The Board desires to place on record the long and faithful services rendered by the late Mr. Ellis to the Board and to the cause of education generally. Thanks. —The thanks of the Board are tendered to the various School Committees for the faithful and willing assistance rendered in the administration of the educational affairs of the district for the past year. I have, &c, A. T. Maginnity, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education.

GREY. Sir, — Education Office, Greymouth, Ist July, 1908. 1 have the honour to present the report of the Education Board of the District of Grey for the year ending 31st December, 1907. Board.—Throughout the year the Board was constituted as follows: Messrs. James Kerr (Chairman), W. R. Kettle (Treasurer), Hon. James Marshall, John Byrne, Frank White, Jeremiah McCarthy, H. J. Bignell, Joseph Noble, and John Ryall. In July, Messrs. Kerr, Kettle, and McCarthy retired, but at the election held in the same month all three were again returned, Mr. McCarthy without opposition. At the first meeting following the election Messrs. Kerr and Kettle were unanimously reappointed Chairman and Treasurer respectively. Administration. —Since the period covered by last report, the education district has been visited by the Right Hon. the Prime Minister and the Hon. the Ministers of Lands and Education. All three take special interest in educational work, and their presence on the Coast proved of direct advantage to the schools visited and the cause of education generally. In this connection my Board strongly urges that members of the Ministry make more frequent visits to this isolated portion of the Dominion. The conditions are exceptional, and so materially differ from those of any other part of New Zealand that special local knowledge is necessary for the proper conduct of administrative affairs. I'd none of the Government Departments is this special knowledge more necessary than in administration of matters educational. It is scarcely necessary to remind honourable Ministers that the annual rainfall is nearly fourfold that of the eastern slopes of the dividing range; that practically the whole of our back country is roadless, our rivers unbridged, our settlements isolated and difficult of access; and that intervening broken, precipitous, and heavily bushed country makes it impossible for children to travel to school over what in other parts would be deemed a moderate distance. For the proper conduct of the Government's administration, general rules and regulations are, of course, necessary; but Parliament should endow the Hon. the Minister of Education with wide discretionary powers to vary or abrogate them where conditions render

8.-l

such courses advisable. In the Grey district, for instance, in proportion to population, there is necessarily a large number of small schools at shorter-distance intervals than the present regulations allow. The Board further urges that chief officers of the secretarial and administrative branches of the Department make periodical visits to Board centres and acquaint themselves personally with the local and general conditions obtaining. Were such course followed, the Board is certain that the cause of education throughout the Dominion would greatly benefit, an appreciable amount of expenditure would annually be saved, and considerable correspondence and occasional misunderstandings obviated. The advantages of personal contact with specially informed departmental officers is obvicnis : knowledge and assistance is as essential in the administrative branches as is the work of departmental Inspectors in secondary and technical education, and similar benefit would mutually result from closer knowledge and acquaintance between Board members, staffs, and the Department. Schools.—During the year there were in operation thirty-two schools. Two new schools (Grade 0) —viz., Doolan's and Johnston's—were opened during the year. The average attendance of the district was 1,468, as compared with 1,338 for the previous year. Teachers , . —At the end of the year there were in the Board's employ 56 teachers—ll male and 45 female. Of the 50 adult teachers 25 are certificated and two licensed. Secondary. Education.—.The increased attendance recorded for the previous year has been fully maintained, and the work accomplished is of a most satisfactory nature. Scholarships.—At the December, 1906, examinations four candidates presented for National and twelve for Board Scholarships. The National Scholarship and a Board Scholarship were won by a girl pupil of the Greymouth District High School. Electing to accept the latter, the National Scholarship reverted to the next qualified candidate in order of merit, a girl pupil of the same school. Of Board Scholarships, four were awarded— three town scholarships of an annual value of £8, and a country scholarship of the value of £26. On the recommendation of the Inspector, the Board, by resolution, has decided to adopt the Department's examination for future scholarship awards. Drill, Cadet and Physical.—These important branches of school training are receiving every attention, and the school-children are deriving corresponding benefit therefrom. Teachers and Technical Instruction.—During the year considerable attention was devoted to teachers' instruction, classes being conducted in cookery by Miss Irene Dillon, in agriculture by Mr. James Bruce, in drawing by Mrs. F. R. Creasey, and in wood-carving by Mrs. F. C. Widdop. All were largely and regularly attended, and good work was accomplished. A special cookery class for adults was held, also two school special classes for children attending Conyent schools. Of school classes, several forty-hour courses in cookery were most successfully conducted, and attended with profit and advantage by over 80 per cent, of qualified schoolgirls in the Board's district. In school agriculture, Mr. James Bruce did good work. Tn addition to instructing teachers in class, he visited the various schools, and as a result ten school agricultural classes have been established. Undei tuition by Mr. Austin, two woodwork classes were carried on at the Technical School with gratifying results. Hand and eye work received considerable attention in the principal schools. Finance. —The drastic scheme of economy initiated in the preceding year was continued throughout 1907. The year commenced with a debit balance of £132 18s. 2d. on General Account, and a credit balance of £589 13s. 3d. on Building Account. It ended with a debit balance of £334 7s. Bd. on General Account and credit balance of £207 18s. 2d. on Building .Account. In this reference, however, the assets in connection with teachers' training, Manual and Technical, and Building Fund Accounts exceeded £(>OO. Generally, the finances of the Board are in a healthy condition, and at date of writing all accounts may be said to be in credit. School-books.—My Board is still of opinion that uniformity of school-books throughout the Dominion is desirable. This is, in ;i manner, borne out by the success attending the publication of the School Journal, which is doing excellent and thoroughly appreciated work. The Board is further of opinion that in the interest of education the Department should supply all school libraries with copies of the Hon. Mr. McNab's books on the early history of New Zealand; and, further, that school editions of the books would be of great benefit to the rising generation of Dominionites. Staff Changes.—Mr. E. A. Scott, Acting-Inspector in the latter part of 1906, was permanently appointed Inspector, Director of Technical Education, and Inspector of Secondary Schools as from the Ist May,' 1907. His reports upon the schools and educational work of the district show that matters are on a sound basis and everything is in a most satisfactory condition. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. James Kerr, Chairman.

WESTLAND. Sir, — Education Board Office, Hokitika, 11th February, 1908. 1 have the honour to present the report of the Westland Education Board for the year ending 31st December, 1907. The Boahd.—At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of the following members representing the respective wards: North—Messrs. T. V. Byrne, T. W. Duff, and H. Rouse; Middle— Messrs. T. W. Beare, J. J. Clarke, and G. A. Perry; South—Messrs. T. W. Bruce, A. Gumming, and H. L. Michel. In August Messrs. Duff, Clarke, and Bruce retired. The two former were re-elected, and for the South Ward Mr. J. Grimmond was elected. Mr. Michel as Chairman and Mr. Clarke as Treasurer were reappointed. During the year Mr. Michel has continued to act as representative of the Board on the Hokitika High School Board of Governors and Mr. Grimmond as the School Commissioner appointed by the Board. Twelve meetings of the Board have been held during the year, with an average attendance of 7'7 members. Schools.—The number of schools in operation in 1907 was thirty-five. Of these, two, Ruatapu and Upper Kokatahi, were opened during the year. In addition, five Catholic schools were examined by the Board's Inspector. The number of pupils that attended the secondary class of the Hokitika District High School at the end of the year was thirty-five, of whom seven were holders of Board's Scholarships and three of Junior National Scholarships. The Inspector's annual reports furnish information relating to the progress made by the pupils of the schools in both primary and secondary education. The general estimate indicates creditable efficiency in both departments. Attendance. —The roll-number at the end of the year was 1,019, and the average attendance was 87"8 per cent, of the roll-number. In the previous year the percentage for this district was the highest in the Dominion, and the maintenance of such regularity of attendance is an indication of the efficiency of the schools and of the interest displayed by both parents and teachers. Teachehs. —The 49 teachers in the employ of the Board at tne end of the year include 5 headmasters, 29 sole teachers, 10 assistants, and 5 pupil-teachers. In addition there were three extra teachers of needlework. Tn schools with an average attendance above twenty the adult teachers, with three exceptions, possess certificates, and two of the others are licensed to teach. In addition, two pupil-teachers are certificated. Tn schools not beyond twenty in average attendance the qualifications of the teachers are—Certificates, 2 : licenses to teach, 2 ; a pass in the Matriculation or Junior Service Examination, 6. The remaining fifteen have no recorded qualification beyond a pass in the Sixth Standard. In the remote parts of the district it is not possible to obtain teachers with any attainments beyond the ordinary primary course, and in all schools of Grades 0 or 1 it is increasingly difficult to find candidates with any higher qualifications. Of the 6 pupil-teachers under engagement, 2 possess teachers' certificates, 2 have passed the Matriculation Examination, and 2 the Junior Civil Service Examination. For reasons indicated later relating to the inadequacy of the funds available for administration purposes, the Board has found great difficulty in

E.—l

finding suitable relieving-teachers during the absence of teachers of the regular staff. The sum of £22 11s. 6d. provided by the regulations is easily exceeded in connection with smaller schools, and there is no sum available to supply substitutes where certificated teachers are required, even if such teachers are available. The Hoard is of the opinion that the Education Department should recognise that the conditions in small districts are of a special nature, and that extra provision should be made in the direction of the formation of a staff of relieving-teachers. Scholarships.—The Board Scholarships in force during , the year were three " town " and four " country " pupils. In addition, three Junior National Scholarships were in force. All the holders attended the secondary classes of the Hokitika District High School. In December, fourteen candidates attended the Board's examination, and twelve obtained the necessary 60 per cent, of marks to qualify. Scholarships were awarded to the three highest on the list. Of these, one was a town pupil, and two were country pupils. The Board desires to express satisfaction with the change of the basis of examination of candidates for the Junior National Scholarships. The acceptance of candidates under fourteen years of age and the adoption of the Sixth Standard as the course of examination remove the Board's objection to the allotment of its scholarships on the results of the Junior National Scholarship Examination and enable it to follow the example in this respect of the majority of the education districts. Manual and Technical Instruction.—The Board endeavoured during the year to form special evening classes in practical chemistry, woodwork, commercial subjects, and instrumental drawing. The number of students offering was, however, insufficient in each case, and the only evening class in operation was one in cookery. It is, of course, not to be expected that in a comparatively small community an adequate number of students will bo forthcoming. The previous success of the evening classes satisfied the immediate demand, and it is necessary to wait until a sufficient number of students accumulates. The following is a statement relating to the various manual and technical classes held during the year : —Elementary agriculture and school gardens : Instruction was given to twenty-five teachers. Under Mr. Bruce , s direction five country schools have instituted school gardens and the necessary work of preparation has been accomplished. Cooker}-: Two school classes and two special classes have been held for two quarters each, and in addition a class for teachers has been carried on for fourteen weeks. The following school classes have also been in operation during the year : Woodwork, practical chemistry and physics, elementary agriculture, handwork, and needlework. Physical Instruction. —Three schools have cadet corps or detachments. The corps connected with the Hokitika District High School has taken part in the class firing and other competitions, and a rifle range has been prepared for the necessary practice. Tn this and seventeen other schools physical exercises, either free or with wands, dumb-bells, or clubs, form part of the course of instruction. Finance. —The balance-sheet presented herewith indicates the position of the various funds administered by the Board. The Administration Fund continues to require rigid economy and continual care on the part of members of the Board. A sum of ,£757 10s. 3d. is allotted for the purpose of administration, and from this the Board is supposed to pay the salaries of its officers, travellingexpenses of its members and the Inspector, office contingencies, payment to School Committees for fuel and the cleaning of schools, and the incidental expenses of schools, including stationery. Tho basis of payment by capitation is in larger districts satisfactory, but in districts, such as Westland, where the total number of pupils is divided into many small schools, the allowance is quite inadequate, and the result is extreme difficulty in the management of the schools by the Board and the School Committees. The accounts relating to secondary education show that a sum of £73 at credit at the beginning of the year has been reduced to a small amount during the year owing to the reduction of the subsidy from the Hokitika High School Board. The latter body has granted an increase in its vote for 1908, so that, without reducing the staff of the Hokitika District High School, the expenditure will be kept within the amount of the income. The Manual and Technical Fund shows a reduction from a credit of .£lB 10s. Bd. at the end of the previous year to a debit balance of £15 15s. 4d. When, however, sums due from the Education Department are paid the fund will be in credit. The debit balance in the Building Fund will become a large credit balance when payments due at the end of the year are received. A grant of £165 for a new school recently erected and the balance of the ordinary grant for buildings for the year will produce a credit of more than £700. During the year new school buildings have been erected at Ruatapu and Upper Kokatahi with the aid of grants from the Education Department. From the ordinary fund, in addition to the usual expenditure, the Woodstock School has been re-erected on a more suitable site, and a sum of £120 lias been expended on the substitution of dual desks for those previously in use. This change in the forms of desks will be continued as opportunity offers. Office Staff. —The reference in the previous section to inadequacy of the income of the Administration Fund suggests the mention of the services of the Board's officers, upon whoso assistance the Board has so largely to rely. The Secretary and the Clerk have both for a period of nearly fifteen years carried on the manifold requirements of the office-work with efficiency and devotedness, and their duties are not to be measured by the number of pupils attending the schools of the district. The work connected with the Board's meetings, tho accounts and returns, entail practically as much attention as if the numbers were much larger , . It is, in fact, the number of schools that has to be considered rather than the total number of pupils. This applies to a still greater extent to the inspectorship held in connection with the secretaryship by Mr. A. J. Morton, B.A. The smaller schools-under inexperienced teachers require more time and attention than do schools several times larger , in roll-number. While, therefore, the percentage of the cost of administration in this district appears high, the conditions under which the work of education is carried on are such as to require, as has already been pointed out, both economy and energy in meeting them. I have, &c, H. L. Michel, Chairman, The Hon. the Minister of Education.

NORTH CANTERBURY. Sir, — Christchurch, Bth April, 1908. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Hoard of the District of North Canterbury for the year ending 31st December, 1907. The Board.—The three members to whose lot it fell to retire were Mr. D. Buddo, Mr. C. A. C. Hardy, and Mr. J. Jamieson, representing the North, South, and Central Wards respectively. In the case of the North Ward, Mr. Buddo was re-elected unopposed, and at an election held on the 22nd July, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Jamieson were elected for their respective wards. At a meeting held on the 14th August Mr. M. Dalziel was elected Chairman of the Board. During the year the Board meetings (held on the second Wednesday in each month) numbered twelve. Mr. Buddo, who was leappointed in 1905, continued to represent the Board during the year as Commissioner of Education Reserves. At its meeting on the Bth May the Board elected representatives on the several High School Boards as follows : Akaroa—Mr. R. Latter; Ashburton —The Rev. G. B. Inglis and Mr. J. Tucker; Rangiora—Mr. A. S. Bruce. During the year Dr. J. Hight, Mr. T. W. Rowe, and Mr. E. K. Mulgan were elected members of the Board of Managers of the Christchurch Technical Classes. Buildings.—Although the large expenditure noted in the last report has not been continued, yet the past year has been a busy one as regards the maintenance of school buildings in this district. New schools have been erected in the vicinity of the Mead Settlement and at Redcliffs, and substantial additions have been made or are in progress at Darfield, Harewood, New Brighton, St. Albans (main and side), and Southbrook. A tender for the erection of a school at North lAnwood has been accepted. The teacher's house at Akaroa has been replaced by a new one, and those at Lyttelton, Oxford West, Prebbleton, and Sydenham have been either added to or substantially improved. The school originally provided for the children of parents working on the railway has been moved from Ethelton back to Scargill, where it has been re-erected on a permanent site. The greater part of the Board's expenditure has been on repairs to its school buildings, many of which have been painted, repaired, and otherwise improved. During the year a good deal of old wornout furniture has been replaced by modern up-to-date desks of the dual pattern. During the year the Board found it necessary to move its general office to more commodious quarters, the room till then used being too small, and insufficiently lighted. The new office, which adjoins the Secretary's room, has been suitably equipped, and the improved conditions tinder which the members of the staff will now carry on their duties will be a great convenience and effect a considerable saving of time. The total expenditure under buildings during the year, including new schools, additions, and repairs, was £11,916 16r. 7d. 13—E. 1.

B 1

Maintenance.—The expenditure on salaries and allowances to teachers engaged in primary departments amounted to £64,240 10s. 2d., and grants to School Committees and other incidental expenses (including special grant of 9d.) to £6,694 12s. lid., making a total of £70,935 3s. Id. The average attendances on which payment of salaries and incidentals was made were 16,880 and 16,285 respectively, the cost per head of salaries being £3 16s. ljd., and that of incidental expenses Bs. 3d., making a total of £4 4s. 4|d. per head. The salaries of teachers engaged in secondary departments, inclusive of the special payments to headmasters of district high schools, amounted in the aggregate to £2,976 19s. 6d. There were 520 teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1907. Of these, 206 (120 males and 86 females) were heads of schools or departments or in sole charge; 204 (43 males and 161 females) were assistants; and 110 (35 males and 75 females) were pupil-teachers. The number of sewing-mistresses was 27. School Districts.—Towards the close of the year the Board resolved to divide the St. Albans School District and form a new district, to be known as " Elmwood." The new district has been formed, and at a meeting of householders held on the 27th January, 1908, a Committee was duly elected. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including fourteen aided schools, was 206. Irregular Attendance. —The large amount of sickness prevalent among the children during part of the year naturally interfered a good deal with their attendance at school. Of the cases of irregular attendance reported, 1,157 were in reference to children attending the city schools and 985 from the country. In addition to these the names of 180 children were taken after inspection of the school rolls by the Truant Officer. Proceedings have been instituted by the Truant Officer in 139 cases, resulting in 122 convictions and seventeen dismissals. There appears to be several grounds for this large amount of irregular attendance, the primary contributing cause being the anxiety of parents to send their children to work, while in many other cases parents are indifferent as to whether their children receive instruction or not. Actual truancy has not prevailed to any great extent. As a rule cases of irregular attendance are now brought before the Stipendiary Magistrate, an arrangement which has worked very satisfactorily. It has been suggested to the Department that the children should be compelled to appear at the Juvenile Court with their parents, and that all cases should be dealt with, say, on one day in each month. Training College.—Last year the Board made reference to the students who enter under Division B, expressing a hope that some way might be found to improve the conditions under which their technical professional training is carried on. So far it has been found practicable to arrange for these students to devote about an hour a day to actual teaching, the remaining hours being devoted to study. While in cases where special aptitude for teaching is shown an hour a day may be regarded as sufficient, there can be little doubt that most of the students who have not previously completed a pupil-teacher course in some public school require to give more than the time mentioned to teaching-practice during their period of training. The only remedy that suggests itself is that the range of subjects taken by students should be so restricted as to allow of the necessary time being given to actual teaching. If this should not be done one of the primary objects of a training college for teachers will not have been attained. Inspection.—ln addition to the inspection and examination of the elementary public schools, nine district high schools and fourteen private schools have been examined during the year, the latter having recorded an attendance of approximately 1,300 children. The performance of these duties has kept the Inspectors fully occupied, and it may be necessary for the Board at no distant date to consider whether it is not desirable that some relief should be granted. The number of children present at examination showed a decrease of 1,300 as compared with the number in the previous year, a decrease which the Inspectors are of opinion is largely the result of the unusual epidemic of sickness. Although under the present regulations it is not incumbent upon an Inspector to ascertain the individual progress of the pupils, yet in the procedure adopted in this district the Inspectors have considered it unwise to abandon to any great extent the examination test. The course followed in this respect meets with the Board's entire approval. In its report for 1905 the Board drew attention to the inconvenience that would result owing to the abolition of " passes " at the several stages below Standard VI. During the year many candidates for employment in some branch of the public service have applied for standard certificates. The provision made under clause 19 of the regulations for inspection and examination of schools, under which the parent of a child desirous of obtaining a certificate of competency must give three days' notice in writing to that effect, is practically a dead letter, the result being that most of the children who do not pass into Standard VI leave school without being furnished with a certificate, the possession of which is of such vital importance to them when seeking public employment in later years. In their report the Inspectors refer to the neglect shown by some teachers in failing to leave for their successors the necessary records indicating the work undertaken for the year and the portions accomplished prior to their departure. The Board trusts that this comment in general terms will be sufficient deterrent in the future, and that all teachers who obtain other appointments will take every care to see that full and accurate records of the schemes of work undertaken and carried out are left at the school. The general progress made in the principal subjects of instruction is referred to in the Inspectors' report. Except as regards comprehension of the reading lesson, which appears to be disappointing in a considerable number of schools, the attainment secured in the several subjects is in a large measure very satisfactory. In most schools reading itself is efficiently treated, and in many the subject has strong claims to unqualified commendation. Gratifying progress has been made in composition, and spelling has been very well taught. Writing has received due attention, nnd good progress has been secured in the present-day treatment of geography. The attainment in arithmetic in Standard VI ranges from satisfactory to good, but in Standard V the results are disappointing, while in the middle standards the subject is regarded as holding its own. The distribution of the work in this subject among the several standards appears to be a matter requir-

K—l

ing consideration. In the treatment of nature-study and elementary science very satisfactory results have been secured in a large number of schools. In order to facilitate the transfer of pupils from one class to another and to the several district high schools, the Board has recently approved of its Inspectors' proposal to hold towards the end of the year central examinations for all pupils of Standard VI, in accordance with clause 26 of the regulations. The examination centres will be as numerous as circumstances will permit, distributed in such a manner as to be reasonably accessible to the children belonging to the respective groups. Staffing of Schools.—Owing to the prevalence of epidemics such as whooping-cough, measles, and influenza, the attendance at many schools during the year has been seriously affected. In older to minimise the disturbance to school staffs and the fall in teachers' salaries, the Department issued Regulation 2, (c), allowing the substitution of the average attendance of two quarters of the previous year for the average attendance of two quarters of the year 1907. Under this regulation a number of teachers to whom notice had been given have been retained in the Board's service, but in many cases of decreased attendance owing to sickness the regulation could not be applied and the teachers have subsequently suffered a reduction in salary. It appears to the Board that when epidemics have prevailed more or less during the year, as was the case in 1907, nothing less than the substitution of the average attendance of the previous year will adequately meet the position, and at the request of the North Canterbury Educational Institute the Board recommended that such a course should be followed. The Board is further of opinion that in the case of schools reopening with a largely increased attendance at the commencement of the year, it is urgently necessary that there should be some general provision giving more immediate relief than is contemplated by the existing regulations. At present, however large the increase in attendance, no addition to the staff of a school is permissible until the end of the first quarter of the year. Scholarships.—The examination for the Board's Junior Scholarships, held on the 10th and 11th December, was that prescribed for Junior National Scholarships, while for the examination for Senior Scholarships, held on 13th December and following days, the papers were those set for the Civil Service Junior Examination. Fifty-nine candidates (3o boys and 26 girls) sat for examination in the Junior class, and twenty-four (13 boys and 11 girls) in the Senior. Nineteen Junior Scholarships were awarded. Four Junior National Scholarships were awarded. In the Senior class 11 scholarships have been awarded. There were six candidates for the Board's Gammack Scholarships. Of these, one obtained a Junior University Scholarship. Scholarships were awarded to the candidates second and third on the list. Sufficient funds having accumulated, the Board has this year awarded a third Gammack Scholarship. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The report of the Director contains a comprehensive survey of the progress made during the year in manual training (cookery and woodwork). Among other matters the report deals with the questions of accommodation, staff, travelling arrangements, classes, and exhibition of work. With the provision of a centre at the Normal School, which the Department has recently authorised, the accommodation for classes in cookery will be complete; as regards woodwork, the Director points out that it will probably be necessary before long to provide another centre. The arrival of Mr. E. Wentzel and Miss M. Evans, both highly qualified instructors, has materially strengthened the staffs, which are now adequate for the large number of pupils receiving instruction. The concessions in fares made by the Christchurch Tramway Board having removed one of the chief difficulties which suburban schools had to contend with, it is hoped that in the coming year a considerable increase in the numbers from these schools will be shown. The classes carried on by the School of Domestic Instruction have been taken over by the Christchurch Technical Classes Association, which body has become responsible for the payment of rent not provided by the Department, towards which this Board has agreed to pay each year the sum of £50. The noticeable progress made in technical instruction is shown in the report on the work of the Christchurch Technical Classes. The erection and equipment of suitable rooms and workshops has been followed by a very large increase in the attendance; the provision now made for the instruction of pupils in technical subjects is of the best; and the members of the Association and its Director are to be congratulated on the bright prospects attending their labours. In addition to the work carried on under the supervision of the Board's Director, a good deal of attention has been given to cookery and woodwork by the several associations and committees formed to further manual and technical instruction at the several outlying centres, where classes in dressmaking, woolsorting, shorthand, and typewriting have been held. In elementary agriculture and schoolgarden work, both theoretical and practical, steady progress has been made. The Board's Instructor, Mr. G. Rennie, has conducted Saturday classes throughout the greater part of the year, and has visited most of the schools in this district in order to encourage teachers to take up the work. In spite of the unfavourable seasons of the last two years, experimental work has been carried on at quite a number of schools. School Cadet Corps and Physical Culture. —During the year a number of cadet corps or detachments have been formed. On the application of their respective commanding officers the Board approved of the several battalions holding a camp of instruction during the last week of the school year. At the camp, which was held at Rangiora under favourable conditions, excellent work was done, the discipline maintained being very satisfactory and the conduct of the boys good. Classes in physical culture were held at Christchurch during two terms of the year, and at Ashburton for one term. The enthusiasm of the Board's teachers in regard to physical drill for child ren and the allied sports and games continues unabated, and was amply demonstrated by the very successful gathering held at Lancaster Park in November last under the auspices of the North Canterbury Public Schools' Amateur Athletic Association. Personal. —It is with much regret that the Board has to record the loss by death during the year of two of its headmasters and of a headmistress. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. M. Dalziel, Chairman.

SOUTH CANTERBURY. Sik, — Education Office, Timaru,. 20th February, 1908. In accordance with the provisions of section 166 of " The Education Act, 1904," 1 have the honour to submit the annual report of the Education Board of the District of South Canterbury of the year ending 31st December, 1907. The Boakd.—At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members : Messrs. G. W. Armitage, W. M. Hamilton, C. S. Howard, W. B. Howell, John Jackson, George Lyall, J. S. Rutherford, Thomas Sherratt, and the Rev. G. Barclay. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905," it was decided by lot that Messrs. Hamilton, Jackson, and Rutherford should retire during the year, and all three were re-elected. Owing to failing health Mr. Howell felt compelled to resign his position as a member of the Board in August after serving almost continually from the establishment of the Board in 1878. Mr. Howell was Chairman for eleven years, and on his retirement was presented with a handsome piece of silver. In August Mr. Jackson was elected Chairman. The Board held twelve meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being 7"5. The Schools. —There were seventy-six schools in operation at the end of the year, the same number as for 1906. During the year a side school was opened in the public hall at the township of Pareora East to save the younger children the walk to Springbrook or Kingdown. Applications for new schools at Cannington, Allandale, and Rakitairi were forwarded to the Department for the consideration of the Minister. Teacheks.—At the end of the year there were 153 teachers in the service of the Board —121 adults and 22 pupil-teachers, 61 males and 92 females. Of the adult teachers eighteen were uncertificated, occupying chiefly positions in small country schools. There is still a good deal of dissatisfaction among teachers regarding their salaries, which are made to vary with the average attendance of the schools. The year 1907 was remarkable for the succession of epidemics which visited the district, and by lowering the attendance caused decreases in the salaries of many teachers. The teachers affected are mostly old servants of the Board whose salaries were, before, anything but liberal, and whose interest in their work must be affected by these decreases in pay. It is hoped that the Minister will no longer delay the promised redress to the teachers by making salaries almost, if not entirely, independent of attendance. At the end of the year eighteen of the Board's teachers suffered reductions totalling ,£247 ,55., and amounting in some cases to about 20 per cent, of the previous salaries. Superannuation . —During the year 136 teachers and others contributed to the funds. Only nine adult teachers in the Board's service, who have the option to contribute, have declined to do so. Scholarships.—The annual scholarship examinations took place in December, the number of candidates being, for Junior Scholarships 30, for Senior Scholarships 20. Ten Junior and six Senior, and the Junior National Scholarship were awarded. Physical Drill. —The Inspectors report that physical instruction receives full attention at the hands of the teachers of all the larger schools, some of whom devote much of their spare time ungrudgingly to the training of their pupils in a great variety of exercises calculated to develop their bodies and improve their health. In most of the smaller schools the teachers make a faithful effort to give due prominence to this part of their work. Attendance.—At the end of the year there were 76 schools, 153 teachers, 5,285 pupils on the roll, 4,538 in average attendance (December quarter). The roll-number shows an increase of ninety over that of the previous year, but the yearly average attendance (4,506) shows a decrease of fiftynine. This fall in attendance is no doubt due to the prevalence of epidemics of influenza, measles, and whooping-cough throughout the district. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the mean of the average weekly roll-number for the four quarters was 85'9, showing a decrease of 2 - 3 for the year. Buildings.—During the year new residences have been built for the Pareora, Southburn, and Waitaki Schools. In March the Geraldine School was totally destroyed by fire—the work, it is supposed, of an incendiary. The rebuilding of the Pleasant Point School was under consideration, and it was decided to build a new school in brick on a new site of 5 acres. In May application was made for a grant for extensive additions to the Timaru Technical School, but, although the Department has been written to repeatedly on the matter, no definite reply has yet been received from the Minister. In its new buildings the Board has tried to embody more modern ideas as to lighting, ventilation, &c. Many of the older rooms are very badly constructed in these respects, and in some cases the Board has been put to great expense to improve the rooms from a hygienic point of view. The question of school furniture is also one that is engaging considerable attention in different parts of the Dominion. If it were not for the extra expense required and the extra space occupied by them, there is no doubt that single desks have much to recommend them ; but it is impossible with our present standard of 12 square feet per pupil in average attendance to provide these desks for all schools. The Board is at present obtaining single and dual desks of Canadian make, because these are found cheaper and far better than those made locally. Finance.—The appended balance-sheet will show the receipts and expenditure for the year under various heads. I have, &c, John Jackson, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education.

OTA GO. Sir, — Education Office, Dunedin, 17th April, 19U8. 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 1907. Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was composed of the following members: Messrs. Donald Borrie, Andrew McKerrow, and James Mitchell, representing the Northern Ward; the Hon. Thomas Fergus, Messrs. George C. Israel, and William Scott, representing the Central Ward; the Rev. P. B. Fraser, M.A., Messrs. Thomas Mackenzie, M.P., and William Snow, representing the Southern Ward. At the elections in the month of August, Messrs. Mitchell, Scott, and Snow were re-elected for the Northern, Central, and Southern Wards respectively. In the case of the Central Ward Mr. Scott was the only candidate nominated. At the first meeting of the Board in September Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.P., was re-elected Chairman. Twenty-six meetings of the Board were held during the year. The Hon. Thomas Fergus and Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, M.P., were reappointed members of the Board of Governors of the Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. A. McKerrow was reappointed the Board's representative on the Waitaki High Schools Board. Mr. Donald Borrie continues to represent the Board as one of the Education Reserves Commissioners. The Hon. Thomas Fergus, the Rev. P. B. Fraser, M.A., Messrs. G. C. Israel, and William Scott were the Board's representatives on the Board of Management of the Dunedin Technical School. Number of Schools.—At the close of 1906 there were 229 schools in operation in the district. During 1907 new schools were opened' at Awamangu, Barewood, Kia Ora, Moa Flat, and Timaru Station, and the schools at Port Molyneux and Ida Valley were reopened. The schools at Allendale, Lee Stream, and Mount Stoker were closed. The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 233, an increase of four for the year.

E. —1

Tbachehs.—On the 31st December there were 571 teachers in the Board's service, classed as follows: Head teachers, 92 males, no females; sole teachers, 34 males, 104 females —total, 138; assistants, 43 males, 171 females—total, 214; assistants (secondary departments, district high schools), 10 males, 6 females —total, 16; relieving-teacher, 1 male, no female; pupil-teachers, 26 males, 33 females —total, 59 ; teachers of needlework, no males, 24 females; Training College and Normal School, 6 males, 10 females —total, 16; teacher of gymnastics, 1 male; manual and technical (special teachers), 7 males, 3 females—total, 10: totals, 220 males, 351 females —grand total, 571. In December, 1907, there were in the service of the Board 74 adult teachers who were uncertificated or who did not hold a license to teach. This is an increase of 10 since the previous year and of 35 since December, 1905. Of the number employed, 16 were males and 58 were females. Four males and 36 females were employed in schools with an average attendance below 16, 2 males and 7 females in schools from 16 to 20, 2 males and 1 female in schools from 21 to 25, 3 males in schools from 26 to 32, 2 males from 33 to 40, 1 male in a school from 61 to 75, while 1 male and 14 females held positions as assistant teachers in various schools from 41 to 570. In addition to these there were 18 teachers who had a license to teach. Of the uncertificated teachers, 53 were untrained, 9 had attended the Training College, 6 had been pupil-teachers, and 6 had been pupil-teachers and had attended the Training College. An analysis of the salaries received by these teachers shows that 18 received not over £55, 3 received over £55 but not over .£65, 8 received over £65 but not over £75, 21 received over £75 but not over £85, 24 received over £85. The majority of the uncertificated teachers are with more or less diligence preparing for. examination, but a few are making little or no effort to improve their qualification and acquire W definite status in the profession. Uncertificated teachers should remember that the Board cannot give them permanent appointments. The Board, in consideration of good service rendered in emergency, will not willingly terminate their engagements; but it must, in all fairness, consider the claims for employment of all fully qualified teachers, and in any case an uncertificated teacher cannot look for promotion in competition with those who are certificated. With the approval of the Board the Inspectors organized classes for the benefit of uncertificated teachers and teachers who desired higher classification. A very fair number availed themselves of these classes, and the results of the recent certificate examination have fully justified their existence. Should sufficient inducement be offered, similar classes will be organized to prepare for the examinations in January, 1909. The number of pupil-teachers employed was 26 males and 33 females—total, 59. This is a decrease from the previous year of 1 male and 8 females —total, 9; and a decrease from 1905 of 1 male and 24 females—total, 35. There is a strong inclination on the part of School Committees and head teachers to obtain the services of a junior assistant instead of two pupil-teachers, and in most instances the Inspectors have recommended the appointment of an assistant. Scholabships.—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 51 competitors for the four Junior National Scholarships, 30 passed the examination and 21 failed. The scholarships were awarded as follows: For schools with an average attendance not exceeding 40, 1 ; for schools with an average attendance of between 40 and 200, 1 ; other schools, 2. Of the 112 competitors for the Board's Junior Scholarships, 64 passed the examination and 48 failed, while the whole of the 27 competitors for the Board's Senior Scholarships passed the examination. Thirteen Junior and eleven Senior Scholarships were awarded. Of those who gained the Board's Junior Scholarships 6 were girls and 7 were boys, while of the successful competitors for the Board's Senior Scholarships 4 were girls and 7 were boys. Nine of the Senior Scholarship winners had previously held Junior Board's Scholarships, and two had held Junior National Scholarships. The Scholarships current at the end of the year were: Board's Junior—males 20, females 13, total 33; Board's Senior —males 24, females 10, total 34; Junior National—males 11, no females: total, 78. Attendance.—At the end of the year there were 233 schools, 571 teachers, and 19,183 pupils on the rolls of the schools. The figures relating to average attendance show an increase over the district of fifty-four pupils for the year. The average attendance expressed as a percentage of the weekly roll was 89, being an increase of 0"4 per cent, for the year. If the mean weekly roll for the district be taken as 19,221, the average percentage gained implies that 17,152 pupils attended every school day and that 2,069 were absent. Although, relatively to the other districts, Otago has for years maintained a very high standard of regularity of attendance —and indeed from 1901 to 1905 stood at the head of the list of all the districts—it cannot be supposed that the percentage of average attendance to roll-number which we have attained is as satisfactory as it might be. To a certain extent fhe irregularity of attendance is due to the prevalence of measles, scarlet fever, and other ills incidental to childhood, and also in the country districts to bad roads and distance from school, but much of it is certainly preventable, and if parents were impressed as they ought to be with a due sense of the hindrance to their children's educational progress occasioned by irregular attendance, they would see to it that, as far as possible, all cause of complaint in this matter were removed. In Dunedin the percentage of average attendance was 91, and it cannot be contended that, with all the educational facilities which the city affords, there should not be fewer than 9 out of every 100 children absent every school day. In many cases head teachers have not availed themselves of the services of the Truant Officer as they might have done, and in consequence the educational interests of the district have suffered. Inspection op Schools.—The Inspectors' general report and their reports on the district high schools will be found in E.-Ib. There is a decrease in the roll-number of nearly o'9 per cent., more than a third of it being in Standard VII. Of the 1,439 pupils who were present in Standard VI, 945, or 66 per cent., obtained the certificate of proficiency. The schools are grouped according to efficiency as follows: Good to very good, 43 per cent. ; satisfactory, 47 per cent. ; fair, 9 per

E—l

100

cent.; weak or very weak, 1 per cent. Compared with that of 1906, this grouping shows a decline of 7 per cent, in the first grade and a rise of 5 per cent, in the second, and of 2 per cent, in the third. The percentage in the last grade is the same as that for 1906. The majority of the large schools of the district are in the first group, and therefore the majority of the pupils are in schools of good efficiency. This is satisfactory. The Inspectors' report implies that, but for the prevailing epidemics, the efficiency of the schools would have been higher. The majority of the school-children were unaffected directly or indirectly by the epidemics; but to safeguard the staffing and revenues of the schools they were closed by resolution of the Committee. The Inspectors say, "Itis a thousand pities that it should be possible for the invasion of an epidemic to deprive of any of their education those who are able to attend school." The Committee of one of the larger schools, when scarlet fever broke out in their district, declined, under the advice of the local Health Officer, to close their school, and the result was anything but adverse to the educational interests of the children. From the sanitary standpoint it is questionable policy to turn the children into the streets to play all day long with contacts, and even with convalescents whose skins and clothing are still loaded with disease-germs. The unavoidable employment of untrained uncertificated teachers is still adverse to the efficiency of the schools. The Inspectors still report that promotion in the upper standards is too easy, and that in large schools such promotion presses unfairly on the teachers of Standards V and VI. The Inspectors' remarks on the subjects of instruction are well worthy of the earnest attention of every teacher, especially the remarks on the value of a well-defined and worthy aim in the work of both teacher and pupil. They condemn emphatically the waste of time in mechanical spelling drill, and deplore the effect on English composition of the growing neglect of formal grammar, and the fact that it is possible for pupils to pass through the schools and leave them ignorant Jpf the grammar of their own tongue. During the last year too many of the schools have been reported weak in grammar. Such report should not be necessary a second time. There is but little formal grammar prescribed in the syllabus of composition, and teachers should accept that as the irreducible minimum, and endeavour to the utmost of their power to have it mastered. The Inspectors report favourably on the work done in most of the school gardens, in elementary science, in nature-study, and in the various branches of handwork. - 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: 1,147 notices were served on parents and guardians for infringements of "The Education Act, 1904," section 141; seventeen notices were served on parents whose children were not attending any school; 147 cases of irregular attendance were investigated; 118 penalty summonses were issued under section 145. Under the 118 summonses, 114 convictions were obtained, two cases were dismissed on production of a doctor's certificate, two cases were withdrawn. The total fines, inflicted for the year amounted to £21 4s. The compulsory clauses of the Education Act were practically suspended during half of the year, owing to the epidemics of measles, influenza, &c. Transfer certificates should be more freely used than they have been in the past. Whenever a head teacher is informed that a pupil is leaving his school he should furnish him with a transfer certificate, and instruct him to present it to the head teacher of the school which he enters. In some cases too long a period elapses between leaving one school and entering another. It would be well were the date of last attendance inserted in the certificate, and the production of the certificate made compulsory. Drill and Physical Exercises.—Exercises have been regularly practised in all the schools in the district. A series of breathing exercises drawn up by Mr. Hanna, the Board's gymnastic instructor, and approved by Dr. Ogston, the District Health Officer, has been circulated among the schools, and the teachers have been notified that these exercises are to form part of the course of physical instruction imparted in their schools. The number of cadet corps in connection with the public schools of the district is forty-three. Technical Instruction. —The number of schools in which instruction in one or other of the manual and technical subjects was given was 122, and in 104 of these schools the time devoted to the instruction was sufficient to entitle them to claim capitation under the Department's regulations. This is an increase of eleven schools for the year. During the December quarter of 1907 the number of pupils receiving instruction in handwork subjects was 13,823, or 72 per cent., being an increase over the previous year of 2,374 pupils, or 12 per cent. Instruction in elementary agriculture was given in 61 schools, botany in 2, bricklaying in 9, brushwork in 44, carton-work in 15, cardboard-work in 17, cookery in 22, cane-weaving in 1, elementary design and colour-work in 2, free-arm drawing in 4, advanced needlework in 2, painting from the flat in 1, paper-work in 69, perspective in 1, physics in 1, physiology and first aid in 3, physical measurements in 18, plasticine in 16, stick-laying in 13, swimming in 4, wood-carving in 1, woodwork in 21. During the past three or four years pupil-teachers and students in training have undergone a course of instruction in swimming and life-saving, under the Board's instructor. The beneficial results of this are now appearing in our schools. During the year classes for instruction in swimming have been established at several rural schools, and in one the mistress has taken up the subject with the girls of the senior classes. It is reasonable to expect that during the current year this subject will be taken up more generally than it now is. Saturday classes in drawing, elementary design, brushwork, and carboard and clay modelling were held at the Dunedin School of Art, and were attended by 121 country teachers and pupil-teachers. Special teachers of needlework were employed in twenty-four schools having an average attendance below forty-one and taught by male teachers. Finance. —The sum expended in teachers' salaries, including house and lodging allowances, was £64,598 4s. 4d.; the amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £5,755 os. 9d. : the amount expended in the erection, enlargement, and improvement of school buildings and the purchase of sites was £14,241 14s. lid. The receipts for school buildings include grant for maintenance, £7,318 145.; special grants for new buildings, £4,395 ; house allowances to teachers, £404 15s. : local contributions, £189 12s. Bd.; deposits on contracts, £566 13s. 6d.; special grants for Technical School buildings, and furni-

SOUTHLAND. Sib, Education Office, Invercargill, 27th March, 1908. In accordance with the provisions of " The Education Act, 1904," the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year ended 31st December, 1907: — The Boabd.—The personnel of the Board has undergone no change during the year. The three retiring members, selected by lot, were Messrs, Thomas MacGibbon, Joseph C. Smith, and John. C.

14—E. 1.

E.—l

Thomson, and these gentlemen were, by the voting of the members of School Committees, re-elected to fill the vacancies in the East, Central, and West Wards respectively. At a meeting of the Board held on the 6th September Mr. John Fisher was elceted to fill the position of Chairman for the ensuing year. Whatever defects may exist in the new method of the election of members under the " ward " system as compared with that previously in operation, the new departure has so far given rise to no particular difficulties in this district. Throughout the year there were held thirteen (twelve regular and one special) meetings of the Board, and twenty-three meetings of the Executive Committee. The attendance of members was very satisfactory. Board's Representatives.—Messrs. W. Macalister and I. W. Raymond were unanimously reelected to represent the Board as members of the Board of Governors of the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools, and Mr. Thomas MacGibbon continued to act on the Board's behalf as Commissioner of Education Reserves for the District of Otago and Southland. Number of Schools.—The schools in operation at the commencement of the year numbered 168. During the year new schools were opened at Sandstone, Te Anau (household), New River Ferry, Titipua, Little Waikaka (household), Beaumont, and Centre Island (household); while the household schools at Burke's Hill (half-time with Wairekiki), Glen Dhu, and Te Anau were closed owing to the removal of the parents interested from these districts. There were thus 172 schools in existence at the close of the year. Attendance.—But for the prevalence of epidemics in many parts of the district, the general attendance of pupils has been fairly well maintained. By the substitution of averages provided for in clause 2, (&), of the regulations affecting staffs and salaries, it has been possible in a great measure to safeguard the interests of teachers from undue and arbitrary reduction of salaries. Were the addition to Regulation 2, (b), of date 26th November, 1906 (designated 2, (e), made applicable apart from the health certificate under which it may be brought into operation—in other words, were clause 2, (b), without restriction made operative for more than one quarter in any year—the hardship to the teacher arising from an average attendance below normal would be minimised. The average attendance for the year was 8,481, being an increase of sixteen as compared with the previous year, and a record for this education district. Expressed as a percentage of the weekly rollnumber, the average attendance was 86'2, a falling-off equal to nearly 1 per cent, as compared with the preceding year. To cope with the evil of irregular attendance the services of a Truant Officer have been retained. To assist this officer in the performance of his duties, and to obviate the necessity for so large a measure of personal visitation to the various school districts, teachers are required to furnish to the Board monthly reports concerning the attendance of pupils; and, on the information thus obtained, the enforcement of the compulsory clauses of the Act largely depends. Teachers. —On the 31st December there were in the service of the Board 303 teachers of all grades, including pupil-teachers. Of these, above the rank of pupil-teachers, 152 were certificated, nineteen held licenses to teach, and eighty-eight were uncertificated. These figures reveal a serious increase in the number of uncertificated teachers. As a mitigating feature, however, it may be pointed out that many of those at present unclassified are strenuously endeavouring to pass the teachers' examination, and so fulfil the conditions of their temporary appointments. There are at present very hopeful indications that this unsatisfactory state of affairs will gradually disappear as the products of our training colleges become available for actual service. In this connection it may be noted that the experience of this Board is not singular in this matter. Most, if not all, of the other education districts in the Dominion make similar complaint of the dearth of fully qualified teachers. The suggestion made by this Board to the Minister of Education that provision should be made whereby candidates for teachers' certificates might be allowed to take their examination in sections, as is done in the degree examinations of the University, is strongly urged as at least a partial solution of the difficulty experienced by many teachers in the matter of securing classification. The Board is assured that the multiplicity of examination subjects required to be prepared in any one year is a very strong deterrent to many aspiring candidates. In all schools staffed by male teachers of Grade 0 to Grade 4 (inclusive) an effort has been made, in most cases successfully, to secure the services of a capable sewing-mistress. In twenty-one schools sewing-teachers were thus employed during the year, and capitation under the Manual and Technical Act has been paid for this service. The number of pupil-teachers on the staffs of the schools in this district was fortyfour, the proportion of sexes being sixteen males and twenty-eight females. The usual annual examination was held in December, when nine candidates presented themselves. Of this number six passed the first examination, one passed in all subjects except drawing, and two failed to reach the standard prescribed for a pass. In terms of the regulations, the services of one candidate who had failed for the second time were dispensed with. The limited number of candidates who attended for examination is accounted for by the altered conditions of appointment, under which only two examinations have to be passed during the pupil-teacher's course, one for second- and thirdyear, the other for fourth- or fifth-year students. It may be also noted that the majority of the candidates have passed the Matriculation or Junior Civil Service Examinations prior to their appointment, and are thus exempt from presenting themselves, unless for those subjects of the pupilteacher course of study not included in the public examinations referred to. Scholarships.—l. National Scholarships —There were at the close of the year three boys and five girls who enjoyed the benefits of the National Scholarships Act. Included in the foregoing number were two whose scholarships were, on the recommendation of the Board, extended for a fourth year. As a result of the examination held in December last, two additional scholarships were Under the provisions of section 74, (a), of "The Education Act Amendment Act, 1907," this district will, next year; be in position to claim three instead of two Junior National Scholarships. The Board notes with satisfaction also that the standard of the examination has by the Amendment Act of last session of Parliament been raised from the Fifth to the Sixth Standard of the Public-school Syllabus. 2. Board's Scholarships. —On the Board's records there were the names

103

H.—l

of nine boys and eleven girls who held Junior Scholarships, and of five boys and three girls who held Senior Scholarships, as on the 31st December last. Acting on the report of the examination held in December, the Board awarded six Junior Scholarships (non-resident), and a similar number of resident scholarships tenable for two years. Three non-resident Senior Scholarships, tenable for three years, were also awarded. Having in view the equitable distribution of scholarship funds as between town and country schools, it is intended that for the future the basis of allocation shall, as nearly as possible, be the average attendance at town and country schools respectively; thus will the funds which accrue be allotted to pupils attending the schools in respect of which the capitation is earned. Inspection ov Schools. —The work of the inspection and examination of schools throughout the district has received due attention during the year. The reports (both examination and inspection) of individual schools visited during each month are carefully examined and commented on by the .Reports Committee, and thereafter laid on the Board's table at its regular meeting. By this means the Board is kept fully informed concerning the work of its teachers. Detailed information, statistical and otherwise, of the progress of education generally in the district will be afforded by a perusal of the annual report of the Board's Inspectors. Physical Instruction. —As in past years, the matter of physical instruction in our schools has received attention commensurate with its importance. To this end the services (part time) of Mr. I. G. Galloway, as physical instructor, have been retained. The schools in and around Invercargill are regularly visited, and periodical visits are made to remote centres, on which occasions not the pupils only but the teachers are also instructed. A complete set of physical exercises for use in schools has been prepared, and a printed copy thereof supplied to each school in the district. More detailed reference to this subject will be found in the Inspectors' annual report (E.-Ib.). Training op Teachers. —The annual grant made by the Department for the training of teachers in the subjects of manual and technical instruction has again been judiciously expended. Saturday classes in the subjects of elementary agriculture, elementary geology, elementary physiology, and model, freehand, and brush drawing were organized.at Invercargill and Gore, and were attended by a large proportion of the teachers whose location enabled them to visit these centres and return to their homes on the same day. Considerable interest was manifested in the subjects dealt with by the respective instructors, and there is warrant for believing that the results achieved will amply justify the expenditure incurred. Conveyance op Pupils.—Advantage is now largely taken of the regulations under which children resident at a distance of three miles or more from a public school may be conveyed thereto. In ten school districts arrangements have been made for this service, and for the last quarter of the year eighty-two children were conveyed to school over distances varying from three to eight miles. The cost of this service amounted to £330 14s. for the year, and, though the allowance made (6d. per child per return trip) cannot by any process of reasoning be considered too liberal, still the grants so made materially assisted in bringing the benefits of our education system within the reach of many children living in remote parts, whose parents could not well afford the total cost of conveyance. Teachers' Superannuation Fund. —The teachers and others in this district who were, in terms of the Superannuation Act, eligible to join the fund have, almost without exception, become contributors thereto. There were at the close of the year 142 names on the contributors' list. During the past year four teachers retired from the service on superannuation allowance. Franking Phivileges.—The withdrawal of the franking privileges hitherto enjoyed by Education Boards has involved an expenditure amounting to £104 Bs. for postages and telegrams during the year. This amount would have been largely exceeded but for the material reduction in postal dues brought into operation in January last. This Board considered it an injustice that teachers should be called upon to bear the postage-tax imposed by the new conditions, and made arrangements early in the year whereby a refund, approximate to the actual outlay, of postages on returns and correspondence of a purely official nature might be made. Payment in stamps to the head teacher of each school in the district, aggregating £24, was made in November last, thus anticipating the suggestion made by the Minister in a circular memorandum recently issued by the Department. Buildings.—The substantial balance to credit of the Building Account at the commencement of the year (£6,050) was reduced to £3,834 as a net result of the year's operations. Several works of considerable magnitude, the principal of which was the erection of a new infant-school in brick at Invercargill South, were carried out during the year. For this important work a substantial grant-in-aid was made by the Department. The principal works of minor importance taken in hand were the rebuilding of the schools at Tokonui and Haldane, which had been unfortunately destroyed by fire, the erection of a new school at Dacre, of a new infant-room at Edendale, of small additions to the schools at Riversdale and Balfour, and of residences for the use of the teachers at Moturimu and Brydone. For each of the works mentioned in the preceding paragraph grants in full, or in aid, were made by the Department. The total sum contributed by the Department by way of special grants for new buildings, additions to buildings, furniture, and fittings amounted to £2,899 145., while the grant for ordinary general maintenance of school buildings, appliances, and apparatus amounted to £3,359. The disbursements on the same accounts were £3,775 Is. 4d. and £4,308 18s. Bd. respectively. It should here be noted that the teacher's residence at Myross Bush was destroyed by fire in August last. It was not deemed expedient to re-erect the building in the meantime, a house allowance being granted to the teacher in lieu of a residence. Finance. —The statement of accounts exhibits in a general way this Board's financial position. There stood at the commencement of the year a sum of £2,693 12s. 6d. to the credit of the General Account, and on Building Account a sum of £6,050 7s. sd.—a total of £8,743 19s. lid. On the 31st December last these accounts were still in credit to the amount of £2,953 Is. Bd. and £3,834

E.—l

104

2s. Bd. respectively. These credits, satisfactory though they appear to be, must not be accepted without qualification as exhibiting the true financial position of the Board. A portion of the credit balance is accounted for by a prepayment of £1,572 (the amount being deducted from the ordinary grants for the month of January) by the School Commissioners of Otago on account of primaryreserves rents due for the last quarter of the year. In assessing the financial position of the Board, account must also be taken of the statement of assets and liabilities which accompanies the balancesheet, and from which it will be seen that a sum of £1,372 is due in respect of the maintenance and repairs of school buildings. When, however, every contingency is taken into consideration, the Board may well congratulate itself on the soundness of its financial position. By order of the Board. John Fisher, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS.

AUCKLAND. Sib, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 17th June, 1908. I have the honour to forward a statement of the School Commissioners' Accounts for the year 1907, showing payments on account of primary and secondary education of £3,828 and £852 10s. 6d. respectively. The reserves let during the year comprised forty small sections of town and suburban land and thirty-three sections of country lands, yielding a joint annual rental of £548. The Commissioners have nothing of public interest to report, except that the demand for land set apart as Education Reserves cannot be satisfied, on account of the delay in the vesting of these lands in them. I have, &c, Oliver Nicholson, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

TAKANAKI. Sie, — School Commissioners' Office, New Plymouth, 13th June, 1908. I have the honour to hand you the statement of accounts and balance-sheet of the* Commissioners for the year ended 31st December last, duly certified by the Controller and AuditorGeneral " with exceptions." The exceptions taken are (a) payments without the previous approval of the Commissioners, (b) an increase in the amount of outstanding rents. I have to state that all the payments referred to were made on the definite authority of the Commissioners previously obtained, the amounts being chiefly for wages and contracts, which the Secretary was instructed to pay on presentation of vouchers. The matter of the rents has been fully considered by the Commissioners, who resolved on 13th March last " That . . . the Board is quite satisfied with the present system of collecting the revenues from reserves." I have only to add to this that the Taranaki Commissioners have rents payable every month in the year, some of them in advance, and that all our leases provide a certain period of grace. During the year we have had one leasing of lands, both bush and town sections, which resulted satisfactorily. There have been no changes in the membership of the Board, which consists of Messrs. F. Simpson, W. T. Jennings, M.P., and C. E. Major, M.P., as Government representatives, and Mr. H. Faull and myself elected by the Taranaki Education Board. I have, &c, James Wade, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

HAWKB'S BAY. . Bib, — Office of the School Commissioners, Napier, 27th May, 1908. I have the honour to forward herewith statement of accounts for the year ended 31st December, 1907, duly audited, and to report as follows : — Two auction sales of leases were held during the year, when nine town sections, one suburban, and six rural sections were offered. Four of the town sections were sold, and realised an aggregrate annual rental of £285; and the rural sections sold as follows : Five at an aggregate annual rental of £271 95., and one at an annual rental of £29 for the first five years and £36 ss. for the remainder of the term. The suburban section and five town sections were passed in. The previous rentals obtained for the reserves sold amounted to £345 10s. Bd. Of the sections passed in, one remained occupied by existing tenants at the same rental obtained from them before the sale, while the remainder had not previously been occupied. Some old buildings on two of the town sections were sold, the net proceeds amounting to £143 18s. 6d. For land taken by the Government for railway purposes compensation for the amount claimed —viz., £35—was obtained. I have, &c, Hbnky Trent, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

WESTLAND. Sib, — Office of the School Commissioners, Hokitika, 2nd June, 1908. I have the honour to report that during the year 1907 the Commissioners held four quarterly meetings. As in previous years, the chief source of income has been the royalties on timber. The exchange of certain unprofitable reserves will, however, have the effect of increasing the amount received in the form of rent. The areas for which exchange was desired were : Eeserve 120, Jackson's Bay, 500 acres; Eeserve 121, Haast Eiver, 5,000 acres; Eeserve 122, Maori Eiver, 1,000 acres. For these have been granted : Eeserve 120, Karangarua Eiver, 700 acres ; Eeserve 121a, Copper Creek, 2,300 acres; Beserve 121b, Poerua Eiver, 2,700 acres; Eeserve 122, Poerua Eiver, 1,0(30 acres. Of these, 300 acres of Eeserve 120 and 1,000 acres of Eeserve 121b are set apart for secondary education. The Commissioners desire to acknowledge the consideration given Ho their request, and hope to report in the future a consequent increase in the revenue. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. H. L. Michel, Chairman.

CANTERBURY. Sib, — Government Buildings, Ghristchurch, 4th January, 1908. 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, 1907, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. The total area of the Primary Education Estate under lease on the 31st December, 1907, was 67,162J acres, producing an annual rental of £19,000 Is. 4d. : of this area 23,315 acres is contained in what is known as Pastoral Run No. 5. The fixed deposit of £278 10s. 7d. with the Bank of New Zealand, which matured on the 23rd December last, has been redeposited for another year. During the year twelve holdings fell in ; of these one on which the occupier was living was renewed by arbitration and the remainder was let by tender, several of which were under 20 acres, being small hillside accommodation-paddocks adjoining the Waikari Township. A large number of leases fall in on the 30th April next, and in June last the School Commissioners agreed to renew the leases of twenty-six tenants by arbitration (who were chiefly living on the land and had made many improvements, such as building, fencing, draining, &c., for most of the land was unimproved swamp when leased in 1887), and the remainder, chiefly of very small area on which there are no buildings, it was decided to let by tender. I have, &c, John Rennie, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

OTAGO. Sie, — Education Reserves Office, Dunedin, 30th May, 1908. In accordance with Order in Council dated 15th December, 1878, I have the honour to forward report of the School Commissioners of Otago for year ended 31st December, 1907. The members of the School Commissioners are as follows: Messrs. William Dallas, Chairman, Donald Borrie, Thomas McGibbon, E. H. Wilmot, and the Hon. H. Feldwick. The Commissioners take this opportunity of expressing their extreme regret at the loss of one of their colleagues during the year through the death of Mr. John Hay. During the time that Mr. Hay had a seat on the School Commissioners' Board his official knowledge was of great value in the management of the endowments. The Commissioners were pleased to welcome Mr. E. EL Wilmot, Commissioner of Crown Lands at Invercargill, as Mr. Hay's successor. During the year six auction sales were held, when forty-five reserves were leased for agricultural purposes, seven for pastoral, and sixteen town sections. The area of the agricultural land was 2,656 acres, leased to thirty-five tenants at £714 Bs. lid. per annum, or an average of ss. 4-J-d. per acre. The pastoral sections contained 3,287 acres, leased to seven tenants at £114 10s. 3d., or Bd. per acre. The sixteen town sections contained four acres, and were leased to fourteen tenants at £32 per annum. The Commissioners' rent roll at the end of 1907 contained 965 tenants, at an annual rent of £13,806 3s. 10d. During the year the sum of £7,410 was invested on mortgage, and £3,740 16s. was received in repayment of loans. The amount now lent on mortgage over freehold security is £39,663 2s. 5d., and the annual interest is £1,894 165., or £4 15s. 6'6d. per cent, per annum. There is also an amount of £3,700 lodged in the Bank of New Zealand on fixed deposit. Of the sum of £2,933 3s. shown in the statement of receipts and expenditure as rents in arrear on 31st December, 1907 (the bulk of which was for rent due in advance on Ist November last), £1,989 4s. 6d. has since been collected. I beg to say in explanation of the amounts shown as expenditure in the statement of accounts that £71 3s. 6d. was paid for train fares; £40 3s. for stamps and telephones; £403 9s. 2d. on improvement of endowments in the way of river protective works, drains, and ditches ; and £776 ss. to outgoing tenants for valuation of improvements---the latter sum being collected from incoming tenants. lam pleased to report the unsatisfactory mode of dealing with mining revenue from the education endowments referred to in my report for the year 1906 has been amended, and the Commissioners now receive monthly payments from the Treasury of amounts accruing to them from this source. Annexed hereto is a copy of the balancesheet and statement of income and expenditure for year ended 31st December, 1907, duly certified to by the Controller and Auditor-General. I have, &c, Wμ. Dallas, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education.
