1. EXTRACT FROM THE THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE .MINISTER OF EDUCATION.

Secondary Education. Number of Schools. The schools usually included in the list of secondary schools in this report which were open in 1910 were thirty-one in number, namely,— (a.) " Endowed secondary schools " within the meaning of section 89 of the Education Act, 1908, and included in the Eighth Schedule to the Act 26 (b.) Secondary schools within the meaning of the same section (89), but established by the Minister under section 94 ... ... ... 3 (c.) Other endowed secondary schools not coming within the definition of section 89 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 Total ... ... ... ... ... ... 31 Of the endowed secondary schools only twenty-two were in operation during the year. Of the other four —Akaroa, Greymouth, Hokitika, and Waimate —the last three have never been in operation, and the first existed as a small struggling high school for a few years only; but a permanent increase of population might lead to the establishment (or re-establishment) of one or more of them at any time. Meanwhile secondary education is carried on in the secondary departments of the district high schools established in each of these four centres, and to some extent these district high schools are assisted by funds derived from the endowments of the secondary schools. Roll and Attendance. The total number of pupils attending the thirty-one secondary schools in the last terms of 1909 and 1910 respectively was— , 1909. , 1910. Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. [Girl*. Total. Eoll (exclusive of lower departments) 2,797 1,870 4,667 2,844 2,062 4,906 Number in lower departments ... 114 75 189 178 92 270 Total 2,911 1,945 4,856 3,022 2,154 5,176 Number of boarders (included above) 566 140 706 614 141 755 The average number of pupils on the rolls of the secondary departments of district high schools in 1909 and 1910 respectively was — 1909. 1910. Boys ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,100 1,128 Girls ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,063 1,061 Total ... ... ... ... 2,163 2,189 If, instead of taking the average roll throughout the year, we take the roll at the end of the year, as was done in the case of the secondary schools above, we find the number in the secondary departments of district high schools to be as follows :— 1909. 1910. Boys ... ... ... ... ... ... 944 954 Girls ... ... ... ... .. ... 947 962 Total ... ... ... ... 1,891 1,916 The average attendance at the secondary schools for 1910 was 5,012. It will be evident from a comparison of these figures that in the case of district high schools there was a distinct falling-off in the roll numbers towards

E.» 8

the end of the year, both in the case of the figures for 1909 and in those for 1910. The same falling-off is apparent in the case of secondary schools, though not to so marked an extent. It was more noticeable in the case of boys than in that of girls, and is no doubt due to the large number of scholars, especially boys, who leave school before the close of the year to enter some employment. In addition to those in secondary schools and in the secondary departments of district high schools there should properly be included in the number of pupils under secondary instruction in the Dominion (a) the pupils attending certain day classes in connection with technical schools, which in this regard may be called technical high schools; and (b) the pupils in various institutions for the secondary education of Maori boys and girls. The number of pupils on the rolls of the day technical schools during the year was 1,253, made up as follows : — 1909. 1910. Boys ... ... ... ... ... 345 545 Girls .. ... ... ... ... 501 708 Total ... ... ... 846 1,253 The following was the average roll of pupils in the secondary school for Maoris (all of whom were boarders) for the years 1909 and 1910 : — 1909. 1910. Boys ... ... ... ... ... 169 IS2 Girls ... ... ... ... . 191 196 Total ... ... ... 360 378 If we summarize all these figures, substituting in the case of the secondary schools the average roll for the roll at the end of the year, and excluding pupils in the lower departments of the secondary schools, we find that, as nearly as can be estimated, there were 8,988 pupils receiving some form or other of secondary education during the year 1910. 190' J. 1910. Secondary schools ... ... ... ... i, 834 o, 168 District high schools ... ... ... ... 2,163 2,189 Day technical schools ... ... ... 846 1,253 Maori secondary schools ... ... ... 360 378 Total ... ... ... 8,203 8,988It will therefore be seen that there has been an increase in all the four groups of schools giving secondary instruction, particularly in the case of the day technical schools, the numbers being half as much again as those for the previous year. The population of New Zealand, including Maoris, but excluding the inhabitants of the Cook Islands, was, according to the 1911 census, 1,058,033, so that the proportion of persons receiving some form of day secondary instruction during the year 1910 was 85 per 10,000 of the population. In 1906 the corresponding proportion was 72-7 per '10,000, so there has been a steady development of secondary education in New Zealand during the past four years. It may be of interest to make a comparison in this respect between New Zealand and other countries. The following figures, so far as can be gathered from the reports, represent the position for the year 1909-10 : — United States ... ... ... • ■ 958 per 10,000 New Zealand ... ... ... ••• 850 „ 10,000 England and Wales ... ... ... ... 552 „ 10,000 Scotland ... ... ... ... ... 42-4 „ 10,000 Further information in regard to the roll and attendance at secondary schools will be found in Tables Xl and K2, and of district high schools in Tables LI and L 2.

Free Secondary Education. Under the free-place regulations free places are divided into two classes, junior and senior, both being tenable at secondary schools and district high schools. Boys and girls who qualify for Junior Education Board Scholarships, whether they obtain scholarships or not, are entitled to Junior Free Places, and those who pass the special examinations for free places are also participants in the privilege. Junior Free Places may, again, be obtained by those who qualify for a certificate of proficiency—that is, essentially, pupils who pass with credit the Sixth Standard of the public-school syllabus; but on this qualification the age of the candidate must not exceed fifteen years. Generally speaking, Junior Free Places are tenable for two years, with a possible extension to three years without examination, or, in the case of district high schools, to the age of seventeen. A Senior Free Place is tenable by any pupil who has passed the Civil Service Junior Examination or the Intermediate Examination, the latter of which is regarded as the special examination for Senior Free Places. Both these examinations are held simultaneously, and differ mainly in the fact that in the Intermediate Examination different papers are set in certain subjects to meet the requirements of non-competitive candidates. The passing of the Matriculation Examination is also regarded as a qualification for a Senior Free Place. But in a largely increasing number of cases Senior Free Places may now be obtained without the necessity of having recourse to an external examination. By a recent amendment in the regulations, the Minister has been empowered to award Senior Free Places to eligible scholars who have satisfactorily completed a two-years course in a secondary school or district high school in accordance with the specified conditions, and are recommended by the Principal of the secondary school attended, or, in the case of a district high school, by an Inspector of the district, such recommendation being subject to the concurrence of the Inspector-General of Schools. Senior Free Places are tenable up to the age of nineteen. For free places granted in secondary schools in accordance with regulations grants are payable on a sliding scale, in which the capitation payments vary according to the income of the school from public endowments, and are calculated in such a way as to secure to the school for each free pupil under instruction an annual income from public sources and from endowments taken together not less than £12 10s. per pupil, which is estimated to be sufficient to cover the necessary expenditure. At the end of 1910 the secondary schools giving free tuition to duly qualified pupils, and receiving grants therefor under the Act, were twenty-eight. The total number of pupils on the roll of these twenty-eight schools, exclusive of pupils in the lower departments of the schools, was 4.906, and out of this total, 3,685, or 75 per cent., were given free places under the regulations. The total annual payment at the rate paid for the last term of the year would be approximately £40,698; the approximate average cost to the Treasury was therefore £11 os. lid. per free pupil,- as against £10 10s. 2d. for the previous year. In addition, free tuition was given to 170 others who were holders of scholarships or of exhibitions granted by these schools, or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions for free places, making the total number of free places held at secondary schools 3,855, or 75 per cent, of the roll of all these schools. Further information in regard to the free places and scholarships held at secondary schools will be found in Table J4. Moreover, in reckoning the amount of free secondary education in the Dominion must be included the pupils in attendance at the secondary classes of district high schools, 1,918 in number, all but a comparatively small number of whom were free pupils, receiving free tuition at an average cost to the Government

5

E.—6

of £9 10s. 2d. per pupil. There should be added also those receiving free education in Maori schools, 134 in number, and the holders of certain free places in technical schools, numbering 1,144. There is thus an approximate total of 7,051 pupils receiving free secondary education, exclusive of those holders of free places in technical schools who were art students, or were evening students, or were taking courses which may be more approximately described as technical rather than as secondary. The following table gives a summary of the various secondary free places at the end of the year for which payment was made by Government:— Free Places in December, 1909 and 1910. , 1909. , , 1910. , (i.) Secondary schools— B°ye- Girls. Total. Boys. Girls. Total. (a.) Junior free pupils ... 1,326 1,004 2,330 1,468 1,193 2,661 (b.)

We obtain thus the following approximate figures : — Ntimber receiving Free Secondary Education in 1910.

These scholarships are of four kinds, — (i.) Junior National Scholarships; (ii.) Education Board Scholarships; (iii.) Foundation or Governor's Scholarships, given by the governing bodies of secondary schools; (iv.) Private scholarships, endowed by private owners. (i.) Junior National Scholarships. —These scholarships are allotted to the several education districts practically on the basis of population, as in each district there is offered annually one scholarship for each 4,000 or part of 4,000 children in average yearly attendance. The scholarships are awarded by the Education Boards on the results of an examination conducted by the Education Department, and the Boards exercise a certain control over the holders, and pay over to them from time to time the amounts falling due. With the Junior National Scholarships are now incorporated the Junior Queen's Scholarships,

8.—6

which were established by the Victoria College Act, 1897, to enable pupils of public schools in the Victoria College University District to attend a secondary school as a stepping-stone to a course at Victoria College. Eight Junior Queen's Scholarships, of a total annual value of £197, were held during 1910, and of these the Victoria College Council has granted an extension of two for the year 1911; after the end of the current year the Queen's Scholarships will cease to exist. The following summary to Table XLI shows the number and value of the Junior National Scholarships current in the Dominion in December, 1910 : — Number of scholarships,— 80y5... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 75 Girls... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 37 Total ... 112 Number receiving boarding-allowance (included in the above total) ... 49 Number receiving travelling-allowance (similarly included) .. ... 3 Number held at secondary schools ... ... ... ... ... 94 Number held at district high schools ... ... ... ... ... 18 Total annual rate of payment as in December, 1910 ... £2,649 (ii.) Education Board Scholarships. —The scholarship funds of the Boards are provided by grants which, although not statutory, are of old standing, and amount to Is. 6d. per head of the average attendance. The conditions of the scholarships are determined by regulations approved in the case of each Board by the Minister of Education. For the award of the Junior Scholarships all the Boards now use the Junior National Scholarship Examination, and for their Senior Scholarships nearly all use the Civil Service Junior Examination; but the awards themselves and the subsequent control of the holders are entirely in the hands of the Boards. The number and value of the Board scholarships in the various districts are shown in Table KL2 of E.-6, the totals of which are for the whole of New Zealand :— Scholarships. At £40 per annum ... ... ... ... ... ... 100 At £35 per annum ... ... .. ... ... ... 9 At £30 per annum ... ... ... •• ... ... 41 Under £30 and not under £25 per annum "... ... ... 6 Under £25 and not under £20 per annum ... ... ... 16 Under £20 and not under £15 per annum ... ... ... 2 Under £15 and not under £10 per annum ... ... ... 192 Under £10 and not under £5 per annum ... ... ... 134 Under £5 per annum ... ... ... ... ... 63 Total... ... ... ... ... ... 563 Number of scholarships, — Boys 349 Girls ••■ 214 Total 563 Total expenditure of Boards on scholarships— £ In 1909 8,694 In 1910 9,232 As will be seen from the above summary, the value of the scholarships varies considerably. In five out of the thirteen education districts scholarships of the value of £40 are offered for competition, while in another the highest scholarship offered is of the value of £15. Further, five Boards do not give scholarships of a lower value than £10 per annum, whereas others offer scholarships of a value of £2, and even £1 ss. per annum.

E.—6

The most common period of tenure is two years, but in one district the scholarships are tenable for three years, and in four districts scholarships may, in deserving cases, be extended to three years if the funds of the Boards admit. By the terms of the Act every Education Board scholarship is tenable at a secondary school or its equivalent approved by the Board. With very few exceptions holders of Education Board scholarships are also holders of secondary free places. (iii.) Foundation (or Governors') Scholarships. —These are of two kinds, those offered by the Governors of secondary schools not granting free places under the Act, and those offered as additional scholarships by the Governors of schools providing free places. (iv.) Private Scholarships. —These are derived from funds provided by private donors at certain schools, by bequest or otherwise. The number of foundation and private scholarships in the last term of 1910 was 193. Of the holders, fifty-nine were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total value of the scholarships in cash was £1,160 Gs. 6d. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and private scholarships to the value of £943 17s. 6d., the value of the Government free places already mentioned not being included in this amount. Staff. The staffing of the secondary schools was as follows :— , 1909. . , 1910. M. F. Total. M. P. Total. Eegular staff ... ... ... 131 93 224 140 107 247 Part-time teachers ... ... 44 33 77 48 31 79 The average number of pupils per teacher (excluding part-time teachers) was 21-7 in 1909 and 20-9 in 1910. The head teacher of a school at which district high school classes are held generally takes some part in the secondary instruction, and receives from the Government the sum of £30 in addition to his salary as head teacher of the primary school. In 1909 there were also 93 special assistants —namely, 43 men and 50 women. In 1910 there were 45 men and 50 women. Leaving out of consideration the head teachers of district high schools, the average number of pupils per teacher was 23-3 in 1909 and 230 in 1910. Salaries of Secondary Teachers. The total amount paid as salaries to the regular staffs of secondary schools as at the rates paid at the end of the year was £55,769, as against £51,681 at the end of 1909. Full particulars will be found in Table K3 of the Secondary Schools Report. As might be expected, the salaries paid vary considerably; the following summary shows the average salary paid to principals and assistants :— Salaries in Secondary Schools. , 1909. , 1910. . M. V. All. M. F. AH. £ £ £ £ £ £ Principals ... 474 361 437 490 368 450 Assistants ... 230 153 196 232 145 194 Whole staff ... 269 175 230 271 167 226 Note.—The salaries of part-time teachers are not taken into consideration in the above summary. In the secondary departments of district high schools salaries are uniform, in accordance with the schedule to the Act. The average salaries actually paid

to assistants, exclusive of the sums paid to head teachers by way of extra salary, were, in December, 1909 and 1910, as follows : 1909. lyiO. £ s. d. £ s. d.

The total amount paid in salaries from receipts from Government for the secondary departments of district high schools, including the special payments to head teachers, was £18,240, as against £18,618 for 1909. The professional qualifications of the secondary-school teachers of the Dominion are as follows :— Status of Secondary Teachers (Regular Staff only), December, 1910. District Secondary High Schools Schools. (Secondary Departments). Principals, — Graduates ... ... ... ... ... 29 24 Holding certificates or other qualifications (excluding graduates) ... ... ... ... ... 2 37 Assistants, — Graduates ... ... ... ... ... 174 62 Certificated (excluding graduates) ... ... ... 10 32 Uncertificated ... ... ... ... ... 33 1 Total ... 248 156 Further information in regard to the salaries of secondary-school teachers will be found in Table K3 of the Appendix, and of district high schools in Tables Ll and L 2. Finances of Secondary Schools. The income of secondary schools is derived from the following sources : — (i.) Rents from the special reserves allocated to them by statute; (ii.) Statutory grants given in lieu of special reserves; (iii.) Interest upon moneys derived from the sale of reserves and invested in accordance with the Education Reserves Act; (iv.) Income from the secondary-school reserves controlled by the School Commissioners, divided among the secondary schools in the several land districts in proportion to the number of pupils in average attendance, lower departments excluded; (v.) Government payments: (a.) Statutory capitation upon free pupils under the Act; (b) subsidies on voluntary contributions for the general purposes of the school; (vi.) Government payments: (a) Capitation for manual-instruc-tion classes; (b) subsidies on voluntary contributions for manual-instruction purposes; (vii.) Special Government grants for buildings and apparatus; (viii.) Tuition fees of pupils* (ix.) Boarding fees of pupils; (x.) Miscellaneous sources, such as interest on moneys other than those obtained by the sale of reserves, donations, and special endowments (for scholarships, prizes, &c), rent of premises, loans raised, &c. The revenue derived from the sources (i) to (iv) is the income derived from endowments, and the " net annual income derived from endowments " is the average for the three preceding years of this revenue, less the expenditure upon the endowments and investments and upon buildings, and less mortgage and other charges.

The receipts under the heading "Tuition fees" show a general decline, due to the steady advance of the free-place system. The Education Amendment Act of 1908, by the introduction of a higher scale of capitation on free pupils, benefits not only those secondary schools which have few if any endowments, but also the more numerous class of schools whose income from endowments is small in proportion to the number of pupils; further, it will relieve from anxiety those schools where a necessity arises for a large building expenditure in any year, as the effect of the new sliding scale is that in any year the total of the net annual income from endowments and the capitation—that is, of the moneys available for the payment of staff salaries and working-expenses — cannot, with due safeguards, fall below £12 10s. per pupil—a sum which past experience shows to be just sufficient. Eighteen of the secondary schools «how a credit balance at the end of the year, and nine a debit balance. The net credit balance of all the secondary schools taken together has fallen considerably since the previous year —£14,546 as against £19,310 for 1909; the chief cause is the large amount of building operations undertaken by several of the schools during the past year. Generally speaking, the finances of tne secondary schools are in a sound condition, notwithstanding the large expenditure under the head of buildings. Tn last year's report it was said, " Indeed, it would be as well if the governing bodies of many of the secondary schools would consider carefully the need for increasing the staffs of their schools, and of giving greater encouragement in the form of increased salaries to assistant teachers. At present there is no doubt that in many cases the salaries paid to assistants are far too low. Effi-

cient work cannot reasonably be looked for in a secondary school unless the staff is sufficient and well paid." It would appear from the fact that the expenditure on salaries in 1910 was almost £8,000 in excess of 1908, that the assistant teachers were now receiving much better treatment financially, but this is only partly true. The average salary of a male assistant has certainly risen in these two years from £224 to £232, but that of a female assistant has fallen from £147 to £145. The increased expenditure must largely be put down to the larger number of teachers necessary to cope with the steadily increasing number of pupils in attendance. The item of income " Sundries unclassified, £25,703," includes two loans amounting to £20,550.

Further details of the income and expenditure of the secondary schools will be found in Tables K6 and K6a. Lower Departments. —The Education Act provides that pupils who have not obtained a certificate of competency in the subjects of Standard V or a higher standard of the public-school syllabus may be admitted to a lower department of a secondary school if they are taught in a separate building or class-room and if no part of the actual cost of their instruction is met out of the endowments of the secondary school. There were lower departments in thirteen secondary schools during 1910; the total number of pupils in those departments was 270 (178* boys, 92 girls); the total cost of their instruction was £2,024; the total amount of fees received on their account was £2,248. * Including Christ's College Grammar School, for which no return has hitherto been made.

Last year it was pointed out that the average time spent by a pupil at a New Zealand secondary schooi was slightly over two years and a half. Information in greater detail has been gathered since that date, and it is now possible to give a closer estimate of the average length of secondary-school life. The following table* shows, as nearly as can be estimated, the number of pupils who stayed one, two, three, four, and five or more years. Stayed one year ... ... ... 1,049 pupils or 27-3 per cent. Stayed two years ... ... ... 1,066 „ 277 Stayed three years ... ... ... 864 225 Stayed four years ... ... ... 248 „ 6-4 Stayed five or more years ... ... 619 „ 16-1 „ Hence the average time spent by a pupil in a secondary school is 2-56 years, or slightly under two years and seven months. This is greater than the average duration of a pupil's stay in New York or Chicago (about two years), but less than the corresponding period in England, Scotland, Switzerland, and other European countries. One of the provisions, for instance, of the Secondary Schools Regulations of England is as follows : — Article 2.—A school will not be recognized as a secondary school unless (i) an adequate proportion of the scholars remain at least four years in the school, and (ii) an adequate proportion of the scholars remain in the school up to and beyond the age of sixteen. In determining what is an adequate proportion of scholars for either of these purposes, the Board may (where circumstances justify it) take into account scholars who have left the school and are pursuing their studies in some other secondary school approved for this purpose. While the average length of a pupil's course in a New Zealand secondary school may, for a young country, be considered fair, there can be no doubt that, in the interests of the pupils themselves and of the community at large, a longer stay is in every way desirable. There are three causes which have contributed to shorten the average length of the secondary-school course :— (1.) As has already been mentioned in another part of this report, j children are kept so long in the preparatory classes of the public schools that they have reached an unduly high average age before they have attained to the standard required for admission to a secondary school. (2.) The Matriculation Examination of the University of New Zealand, although primarily intended as an entrance examination to one of the affiliated colleges, has come to be regarded as a leaving examination; in the past the standard of this examination has been such that pupils have been able without difficulty to cover the work required in three years, and in some cases even two. The standard of the examination for 1911 and subsequent examinations, however, has been raised to that standard which a secondary-school pupil should reasonably cover in a four-years course, and it is probable that this alteration will have some effect in prolonging the length of the secondary-school course. (3.) Economic reasons are to some extent at the root of the evil; closely related, indeed forming part of, this cause is the absence in the community of a thorough and hearty belief in the advantages of secondary education. Except in the comparatively few cases where it is the intention of the parent to send the pupil on to the University, the parent is naturally inclined to begrudge the years spent by his child in learning mathematics and foreign languages, and to consider that he is better qualifying .himself for the business of life if he is placed immediately after leaving school in some employment, and perhaps sent to evening classes at a technical school. In the past there has no doubt been some ground for this belief, but the present movement towards making the work of the secondary schools more vocational in character will tend to overcome an objection which has hitherto been well founded. It is not the province of a secondary school merely to qualify a pupil for the work he will be called upon to perform in after-life any more than it is its province to give him a purely theoretical education, such as has been the tendency in the past; but there seems to be no reason to fear that a thorough mental training could not be obtained as well through the medium of a vocational course as from a

course based upon old-fashioned lines. The ideal vocational course should embrace a sound study of English literature, history, and civics, a practical knowledge of the fundamental scientific principles underlying the common facts of life, particularly, in the case of boys, applied science (including agriculture and commerce), and, in the case of girls, domestic science and art. No doubt, if the programmes of the secondary schools were adjusted somewhat on the lines just mentioned, parents would have a greater inducement to allow their children to go through a complete course in a secondary school. The present regulations for admission to Senior Free Places, which have now been current for more than three years, give the secondary schools ample scope to modify their programmes as suggested; the only compulsory subjects are English and arithmetic, and the optional subjects include (besides mathematics, foreign languages, and the ordinary branches of science) such subjects as the following : Elementary practical agriculture; elementary hygiene (including elementary physiology, with instruction in " health " and in " first aid "); domestic science (including cookery, dressmaking or advanced plain needlework, and housewifery); shorthand, book-keeping, and commercial correspondence; woodwork or ironwork. There appears to be a growing tendency on the part of many of the schools to lean more towards the vocational course, especially in the direction of subjects bearing on agricultural and pastoral pursuits. To qualify for a Senior Free Place or an Intermediate certificate it is not necessary, under the regulations, for the pupil to sit for examination; it is sufficient if he or she gives evidence of having diligently and intelligently completed a satisfactory two-years course. Upon the completion of a similar satisfactory four-years course is based the senior or " leaving " certificate for which provision is made. (b.) Average Duration of a Girl's Stay in a Secondary School. According to the census returns for J 906, there were 97 girls of secondaryschool age to every 100 boys. From the figures set out in Table K2 we find that there were in 1910 only 72 girls to every 100 boys. This great difference is only partly accounted for by the number of private secondary schools for girls in the Dominion. There can be no doubt that the chief cause is that parents do not consider a secondary education as necessary for a girl as for a boy. If we apply the same tests to the numbers of boys and girls separately on the rolls of secondary schools as was applied in the case of all pupils, we find that the average duration of a girl's stay is slightly greater than that of a boy : — Average girl's stay in a secondary school ... ... ... 2-58 years. Average boy's stay in a secondary school ... ... ... 2 - 55 years. :;: Average stay of a pupil (boy or girl) ... ... ... ... 2-56 years." From Table K2 we get the following information :— 110 girls stayed 1 year to every 100 boys. 88 „ ' 2 years „ 100 „ 97 „ 3 years „ 100 „ 85 „ 4 years „ 100 „ 120 „ 5 years or more „ 100 „ It would therefore appear that, in addition to the fact that a large number of girls are never sent to a secondary school, an undue number are withdrawn after their first year; those that are left after the year, however, stay longer than the average boy. Domestic reasons are, no doubt, at the root of the trouble. That the trouble is not insurmountable is evidenced by the fact that in the United States the very reverse is the case—there are 129 girls on the roll to every 100 boys.

2. DETAILED TABLES.

TABLE K1.—Roll and Fees of Secondary Schools, as in December, 1910.

Note. —The classification of secondary schools, as shown in the above tables, may be interpreted thus:— A. Schools established under special Acts of the Legislature, with endowments derived from grants of money from the public revenue, or from grants of land. It is optional with these schools to admit free pupils or offer scholarships equal in value to one-fifth of the net annual income derived from endowments. B. High schools established in places where there are no secondary or district high schools. These schools must admit free pupils, for which they receive grants according to scale. C. Schoole which, though endowed, do not admit, nor are they empowered to admit, free pupils.

WHANGAREI HIGH SCHOOL. Staff. Mr. B. [iUpton ; Mr. H. E. G. Smith; Miss A. L. M. Woolley; Miss B. Blumhardt; Mr. (i. Woolley; Miss B. Griffiths. 1. Report of the Board of Governors. I have the honour to forward herewith the annual returns in connection with the Whangarei High School for the year ended 31st December, 1910. Duringjthe year the school has made satisfactory progress. The Board of Governors are endeavouring tojestablish a boarding-school in connection with the High School, and for this purpose have secured some 3 acres of land adjoining the High School site in Manse Street. From local contributions promised, and a grant agreed to by the Minister of Education for this purpose, the Board hopes to see the building erected in due time. This will be of great value to those pupils attending the High School who have to reside away from home during their terms at school. Towards the end of May last the Rev. L. L. Cubitt resigned his position as a member of the Board of Governors, on account of his removal from Whangarei. The Board placed on record its appreciation of Mr. Cubitt's long and useful .service in connection with secondary education. The Rev. J. L. Pattullo was appointed by the Auckland Board of Education to succeed the Rev. L. L. Cubiri. J. McKinnon. Secretary. 2. Work ckf the Highest and Lowest Classes.

Report of the Board op Governors. Auckland Grammar School (Boys). Progress c/ School. —The year 1910 has been a very marked year in the history of the school, in consequence ot the large increase in the attendance of schoolboys. The school commenced in 1869 with an attendance of under 100 ; the number now nearly reaches 500. This large increase is mainly attributable to the free places of the educational system, under which parents are relieved from payment of school fees at secondary schools, such fees being paid by the Government. The change effected m.iy be shown by stating that the paying pupils numbered, in 1910, 35, and the non-paying pupils 456. Distinctions. —W. M. Jones and R. F. Ellis won Junior Scholarships of the University ; and C. C. Marsack and K. MacCormick were awarded and J. M. McKenzie and C. E. Clayton declined Senior National Scholarships. Forty others passed the entrance examinations of the University. Among old boys, K. Sisam won the Rhodes Scholarship ; S. W. Ziman, a former Rhodes Scholar, graduated B.A. at Oxford with first-class honours in mathematics, and passed the Indian Civil Service Examination ; J. F. Brown graduated M.B. and Ch.B with first-class honours, and C. B. Tudehope with secondclass honours, at Edinburgh ; J. F. S. Northcroft graduated B.Sc. at the University of California ; P. S. Vickerman graduated as F.R.C.S. of London. Cadet Corps. —The establishment at the end of 1910 was 465. The old girls of the school have given a King's and regimental colours to the battalion. These were made in London under the direction of Colonel Sir Arthur Hammond, V.C., X.C.8., D.5.0., from designs approved by the Hon. Mr. George Fowlds when Acting Minister of Defence. The colours were presented to the battalion by Field-Marshal Viscount Kitchener at the review in the Auckland Domain on the 2nd March. The School. —There were 491 boys on the roll during the first term of 1910, of whom 456 boys held free places and for whom the Government paid at the rate of £4 Is. 9d. a term for each pupil. Prizes. —The Hm. J. G. Findlay, LL.D., Attorney-General, kindly presented the prizes to the boys at their annual distribution in the Choral Hall on the 15th December, 1910. Sixty-five prizes were given to the boys ; their total cost was £44 13s. sd. Two prizes were again given by Mr. J. P. Hooton for English essays, and one for practical chemistry by Mr. P. M. Mackay, J.P. New School. —Before concluding this report, I deem it right to state that an urgent necessity has arisen both for a larger school building and a convenient playground, and I have no doubt that with the kindly co-operation of the Government these two matters will be speedily and satisfactorily arranged in the interest of the schoolboys and their parents. Auckland Girls , Grammar School. Headmistress. —On the 24th June the headmistress, Miss A. W. Whitelaw, M.A., T.C.D., retired from the service of the Board to take up the position of headmistress of Wycombe Abbey School, England ; and Miss E. G. Wallace, senior mistress, was appointed to temporary charge. Miss Blanche Butler, B.Sc, London, vice-principal of the Liverpool College for Girls, was selected out of 107 applicants. Mistresses. —The staff was increased in February, 1910, by the appointments of Miss E. R. Dickinson, 8.A., Miss E. M. Johnston, M.A., and Miss E. M. Pickering, B.A. In September the vacancy caused by the retirement of Miss Vernon Harcourt was filled by Miss J. Moore, 8.A., M.Sc. A year's leave of absence was granted at the end of 1910 to Miss Jacobsen to enable her to obtain further experience in English schools. Distinctions. —At the examinations in December two girls passed with credit the Junior Scholarship Examination of the University, and fifteen matriculated. Seventeen passed the Civil Service Junior Examination, four with credit; six passed the Senior District Scholarship Examination under the Auckland Education Board, and fifty-nine gained Senior Free Places. Library. —ln September a school library was opened with about 350 volumes, which were chiefly presented by old girls of the school. Grounds. —During the year the formation of the grounds has been proceeded with, and a level playground of nearly three-quarters of an acre has been drained, levelled, and grassed. The embankment along the northern boundary has been completed to the same level as the road, and the gully filled in to the same level, providing space for tennis-courts to be laid out when the ground consolidates. The fences on the Hjme Street and Smith Street boundaries have been erected, thus completing the fencing of the site at a cost of £620. Prizes. —The girls' prizes were distributed by the Hon. Dr. Findlay on the 15th December, 1910. There were sixty-six prizes, costing £30 12s. 2d. Increase of Pupils. —There has been a considerable increase in the number of schoolgirls, the number having risen from 287 in 1909 to 350 in 1910. G. Maurice O'Rorke, M.A., LL.D., Chairman.

In accordance with custom, I have much pleasure in giving a report on the working of the school during the year in which I have had the honour to hold the position of Chairman. The work of the school has been carried on under difficulties, owing to the total loss of the building by fire during the first quarter. These difficulties would have been considerably intensified had it not been that the new Technical School was available. But for this, the school-work would have had to be carried on in detached buildings. In spite, however, that one building contained all the pupils, the work has somewhat suffered as compared with the previous year. We may, however, feel proud that, notwithstanding the inconvenience, the work of the year is not below the average of New Zealand. And the teachers, under the able guidance of the Rector, may well be congratulated on the result. When the school was destroyed the Minister of Education was approached and pressed for a sufficient grant to enable the new erection to be of incombustible material, and he recommended the Cabinet to grant the sum of £2,600. which, together with the £1,400 insurance-money, brought the total amount available up to £4,000. However, when tenders were called on a handsome plan supplied by Mr. J. De Clere, and approved by the Department, it was found that the lowest was in the vicinity of £5,000, and to this had to be added the architect's fees and the salary of the clerk of works. Another attempt was therefore made to induce the Minister to give an additional grant to supply the deficiency, but the strongest argument failed to elicit a favourable response to the urgent application for the full amount required. The Minister held that the large assembly-hall in the centre of the building was not a necessity in a high school, and it could only be considered a luxury, though a useful one. He held

E.—6

that the demands for educational buildings throughout the Dominion were of so pressing a nature that only actual necessities could be provided by the Government. The members composing the deputation were equally positive that the building classed as a luxury was a necessity, and its deletion would, while detracting from the usefulness of the building, also greatly mar the architecture of the design. Eventually, a compromise was arrived at, the Minister undertaking to find <mi additional £850, which would suffice to erect the part of the building required by the Department, and the deputation, on behalf of the Bop.rd, agreeing to find the money for that part stated to be a luxury. lam satisfied that the assembly-room is a really useful part of the building. The necessity of finding a sum equal to about £600 to complete the building having been pointed out to the Mayoress, that lady kindly consented to organize a movement to supply the Board with the deficiency, and she hopes to complete this good work during the course of the present year. The thanks of the Board are due to Mrs. Nash for her kindly efforts, and I trust the citizens, for whose children the building luis been so thoroughly equipped, will assist by every means in their power. The new building will be ready for occupation during the third week in February, and it is proposed to open it on the 16th instant, if the Minister of Education can be present to perform the ceremony. The contractors are Messrs. Sollitt Bros., who also secured the contract for furnishing. The excellence of their workmanship is apparent to the most casual observer. The new year may therefore be expected to add new laurels to the school; and I believe it will be a year to reflect the greatest credit on teachers and scholars alike. The attendance during the past year has constituted a record, but there is every indication that it will be eclipsed by the attendance during the coming year. The average attendance showed an increase of seventeen over the previous year, and the income from these enabled an additional teacher to be engaged. The increased attendance during the coming year is expected to require the appointment of still another teacher, and this is a matter which will require the Board's immediate attention. In the meantime Mr. Opie is filling the position temporarily. At the end of the last term Miss Lynch, headmistress, resigned, and Miss Ironside has been appointed in her stead, her testimonials being of the most satisfactory nature, and her educational attainments such as to satisfy all requirements. I believe that the choice of the Rector will be amply justified. At the end of the year the Rev. Archdeacon Harper found it necessary to resign, owing to his removal to Wellington, and the annual election failed to secure a member to replace him. The thanks of the Board are due to the reverend gentleman for his excellent work as a governor. While the results of the past year are not quite up to the high standard of the previous year, owing to the circumstances already mentioned, I feel sure that the principles inculcated and the moral lessons taught are fully equal to the highest standard, and of this the Board and the teachers may be justly proud, as the foundations laid during this critical period of the [pupil's life are those on which the superstructure will eventually be erected. Another matter for congratulation is the fact that the educational advantages of a high-school training are beginning to be appreciated by the 'parents, and they are showing a decided tendency towards the extension of the school period. The change effected during the previous year to have separate class-rooms for boys and girls in the lower forms has been continued as far as possible, and the result has exceeded anticipations. The new school is so arranged and furnished as to allow the Rector a chance of extending this principle. The boarding-school has amply justified its existence, and the Rector deserves the greatest praise for his foresight in establishing it. As soon as possible the Board will consider the equipment of the gymnasium, which has already been approved. The playing-grounds are in excellent order, and the footballground in particular has been drier than ever before. The gardens are also being restored to their original beauty, and in a few weeks no trace of the devastation wrought by the fire and the cartage of material will be visible. The financial aspect, apart from the requirements for extra buildings, is healthy, the increased capitation of last year provided by the Department to assist unendowed secondary schools being responsible for this most gratifying position. The balance in hand at the end of the financial year for purely educational purposes is small, being mostly made up of insurance-moneys payable on account of contract for erecting the new school. I have purposely refrained from dealing with the Technical School, as during the past year, for the first time in its history, the Chairman of the Board has not been the Chairman of the Committee in charge of this important branch of education. The experiment of appointing a separate Chairman has proved so eminently satisfactory that it is well worth further consideration. The report of the Technical School Committee will, therefore, appear separately. In conclusion, I desire to thank the members of the Board for their loyal assistance and hearty co-operation during my occupancy of the chair. I retire after a year of office feeling sure that every member of the Board has given me that hearty and unselfish co-operation which goes to make the position of Chairman such a pleasant one. W. H. Collingwood, Chairman. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes.

The year completes the second year of the High School as an established endowed secondary school. A regular staff of four male teachers and three female teachers has been engaged during the year. The work done during the year has been excellent. The school roll closed with an attendance of sixtyeight boys and fifty-five girls.

A school costing £4,833 17s. Id. was completed during the year, and occupied in April. A schoolhouse and Principal's residence has also been built in brick, to accommodate twenty-five boys. It stands upon its own grounds of three acres in extent, apart from but contiguous to the school. The estimated attendance for the first term in 1911 is 140. The resources of the Board have been strained to the utmost to complete the buildings and to provide equipment and furniture. Grants of £300 in aid of the school buildings, and £200 for the equipment-of the science-room, will just enable the Board to cover its obligations, but will leave no margin for much necessary work which imperatively requires attention. It is difficult to foresee the number of pupils who will present themselves for secondary education in any year. The district is so large and is being so rapidly developed that it is certain that very considerable additional accommodation will be required within the next few years. If such proves to be the case, it will be a matter for serious consideration whether that accommodation should not be provided by the establishment of a separate school for girls. Having this contingency in view, arrangements for a suitable site should be considered. At the public examinations held by the New Zealand University and by the Education Department at the end of the year, four pupils passed Matriculation and allied examinations, and one gained Matriculation on the Junior University Scholarship papers ; four pupils passed the Junior Civil Service Examination, three gained Senior Board Scholarships, one gained a Junior Board Scholarship, sixteen gained Senior Free Places, and two gained Junior Free Places.

J. Antill; Sergeant-major McNair. 1. Report of the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors have to report that the attendance at the schools has been well sustained, and that satisfactory progress continues to be made. The new laboratories in the boys' school have proved very useful, virtually all the pupils in the upper school doing individual practical work in science. Swimming has received much encouragement. Nearly every boy can swim, and a large proportion have received certificates for distances ranging from 220 yards to one mile. A very successful bazaar was organized in the girls' school to provide a playground-improvement fund. The amount raised, together with the Government subsidy, has enabled the governors to make much better provision for games, two new tennis-courts and a croquet-lawn having been laid down. The junior departments have well justified their existence, the roll number being 46 in the boye' school and 40 in the girls' school. To keep pace with the steady expansion of the junior department two new class-rooms have been erected in connection with the girls' school, an adjacent residence previously acquired having proved inadequate for the purpose. The following examination results were gained during the year : — Boys : University Junior Scholarship Examination—2 qualified for Matriculation and Solicitora' General Knowledge ; Matriculation, Solicitors' General Knowledge, and Medical Preliminary, 2 passed ; Matriculation, 1 passed; Senior Civil Service, 3 passed the whole examination and 1 passed in three subjects ; Junior Civil Sendee, 8 passed, 3 with credit; Education Board Senior Scholarship, 1 secured first place, and 5 others qualified ; Senior Free Place (in addition to foregoing), 15 under Regulation 7 (c), and 3by examination ; Education Board Junior Scholarship, 2 won scholarships; Junior Free Place Examination, 1 passed, and 4 extended under Regulation 5 (1) ; Proficiency Examination, 2 passed.

Report op the Board of Governors. The Governors of the Dannevirke High School have the honour to report that the school continues to be conducted in a very efficient manner. The total number enrolled during the past year was 96, and the highest roll number was 93. Of these, 45 new pupils were admitted and 12 left. Considering the large number that left at the close of the , previous year, these numbers must be regarded as highly satisfactory. The attendance of most of the pupils has been very good. The average attendance for the wholojyear has been 81-7. This is 93 per cent, of the average weekly roll. The usual classical and mathematical subjects have been taught. Chemistry now forms the principal science both for boys and girls. A class in elementary agriculture for the boys was commenced. More advanced work, and work of a more practical character, will be undertaken next year, and an effort will be made to combine with it instruction in the essentials of dairying. The physical education of the pupils has c< osisted of gymnastic exercises for the girls, and military drill and exercises for the boys. The formation of a cadet corps, has, unfortunately, been delayed owing to the fact that suitable carbines were not obtainable. Our candidates for the various public examinations again distinguished themselves. The following are the numbers : 1 gained a Senior National Scholarship ; 1 gained a credit pass in the Junior University Scholarship Examination ; 2 passed Matriculation and Solicitors' General Knowledge ; 3 passed partial C Teachers' Examination; 3 passed Civil Service Senior Examination; 11 passed Civil Service Junior Examination (3 with credit) ; 2 passed Senior Free Place Examination ; 2 gained Education Board Senior Scholarships (first and fifth places) : 11 passed Education Board Senior Scholarship Examination, and thus qualified ; 3 gained Junior Board Scholarships. The pupils have taken a keen interest in the school games, and have showed a high degree of proficiency in football, cricket, hockey, and tennis. Miss G. F. Gibson, M.A., who for two years rendered excellent services on the teaching staff of the school, resigned, and Miss Janet McLeod, M.A.. was appointed to the vacant position. The Board desires to express its high appreciation of the devoted and efficient manner in which the. Principal and staff have discharged their duties. In anticipation of the school's future requirements, the Board embraced the opportunity of securing an acre of land adjoining the school grounds. A. Grant, Chairman. T. Macallan, Hon. Secretary. 2.

MARLBOROUGH 111011 SCHOOL. Staff. Mr. J. limes, M.A., LL.D. : MY. J. H. Colliding, B.A. : Miss M. ('. Roes, M.A. ; Miae E. M. Allen. M.A. ; Mies \V. Ham ; Mr. P. Blirk. 1. Report of the Board of Governors. I have the honour to submit the following report of the Marlborough High School for the year ending 31st December, 1910 : — The number of new pupils enrolled at the beginning of the year was 50, 31 being girls and 19 boys. The total roll number was 126. On the external examinations, 17 passed the Senior Free Place Examination, 3 the Civil Service Junior with credit, 1 obtained a partial pass and 1 a full pass for the Civil Service Senior, and two passed the first year's terms examination of Victoria College. The curriculum comprises English, Latin, French, pure mathematics, heat, botany, physical measurements, history, and geography. In the lower forms book-keeping, cookery, and woodwork are also taken. It is proposed to add agricultural science next year. This is rendered possible by the appointment of an additional teacher. In addition to the Principal, the staff comprises four qualified teachers, all holding the M.A. degree. The gymnasium erected and equipped last year has been systematically and regularly used. The success achieved by several of the old pupils is very gratifying, more especially that of one who gained the Ettles Scholarship at Edinburgh. The growth of the school has made the buildings unsuitable for effective working, and extensive Iterations and additions are in progress which will bring about a great and much-needed improvement. These include the erection and equipment of a science-room, the use of which the Board of Governors propose to allow to the Education Board for the purpose of Saturday classes for teachers. R.

The average number of boys in attendance was 204, being a slight increase ; 148 of the pupils held free places, 90 junior and 58 senior. The boarding department continues to make good progress, the total number of boarders for the year being 103. The average number at the Girls' College was 171 —a record. The Governors desire to thank the donors of a horse roller and mowing-machine, by the use of which the playground at the Boys' College has been brought into a much better condition. They also desire to thank the Old Girls' Association for their donation towards the formation of a reference library. The shooting team, without being able to repeat their success of the previous year, did very well, taking the second place in the New Zealand secondary schools competition, one point behind the winners. In the shooting for the Prince of Wales' Cup, open to all schools of the Empire, they stood sixth, being beaten by only one school in Australasia. The equipment of the Girls' College was improved by the addition of a roomy and airy building, containing suitable accommodation for practical and demonstration lessons in cookery. A camera club was formed at the Girls' College, and a dark room provided. The girls' hockey club was able to enter two teams for the matches, and the junior team was successful in winning the challenge cup. Early in the year Mr. James Blair, who has been Secretary for the past eight years, resigned, and his place was filled by the appointment of Mr. R. Catley. The Staff. —Boys' College : Mr. A. E. Brockett has taken charge of the preparatory department, in succession to Mr. M. Skelton. Mr. J. C. Pope, 8.A., fills the vacancy caused by the departure of Mr. W. Moyes for King's College. Mr. H. P. Kidson, M.A., and Mr. H. Skinner also joined the staff during the year. Girls' College : Miss O'Callaghan, M.A., and Miss Nicholson, 8.A., resigned at the end of the year. Miss Farrow, M.A., of Canterbury College, and Miss Hind, M.A., of Victoria College, were appointed to fill the vacancies. The results of the public examinations were very satisfactory. Boys' College : L. Bell and J. O'Connell gained Senior National Scholarships on entrance to the University. One boy qualified for Matriculation on the scholarship papers, and ten others passed the Matriculation (Solicitors' General Knowledge) Examination, two of them the Medical Preliminary also. Forty-five passed the Junior Civil Service Examination. Nine boys passed the terms examinations of Victoria College, five the first year, three the second, and one the third. Girls' College :A. Fell, S. Derrick, and R. Walker passed first year's terms. Rona Karsten passed the Senior Civil Service Examination, heading the list for the Dominion. Fifteen girls passed Matriculation or Matriculation and Solicitors' General Knowledge, a highly gratifying result.

Report of the Board of Governors. The past year's successes have again exemplified the soundness of the methods pursued in this school. There has also been a very satisfactory increase in the attendance, so much so that it became necessary to engage an assistant master. The school staff is now enabled to give more attention to

E.—6

44

the teaching of science ; and the new brick science-room and class-room are being equipped with the latest and best scientific apparatus. Agricultural science, theoretical and practical, is being taught to those scholars who intend to follow the farmers' occupation. For the practical work in this connection the Board has leased a piece of land near the school. On the scholastic side the school has done well. This is shown by the large percentage of successful pupils in the various examinations. The school was inspected by the secondary schools Inspector during the year, and his report says, " The methods of teaching were, in general, very satisfactory. . . . There appeared to be a good spirit of work, and a really fine tone." The school cadets have again proved that their reputation for drill, marksmanship, and enthusiasm was well deserved. The large playing-grounds attached to the school give unusual opportunities for school sports and pastimes, in which the Principal and staff take much interest. The inauguration of the school boardinghouse has proved a very successful step ; and, as the tariff is low, it has brought boarding pupils to the school from the further ends of the North Canterbury railways. During the year provision was made for teaching certain technical subjects, and the school is now in a position to provide wider facilities for scholars. Robert Ball. Chairman. 2.

Report of Headmaster. The school roll at the end of the year was 212, inoluding 20 in the preparatory class. In December, 1910, the school had in candidates for Junior University Scholarships. 25 for Matriculation, 39 for Education Board, junior Civil Service, or Senior Free Place Examinations : thus 74 boys of the upper school have reoently been sitting for external examinations. The results of the outside examinations in December last were that of 9 candidates. 4 won Senior National Scholarships and were also awarded Gammack Scholarships by the Board of Education. The last-named body, however, intend in future to prohibit the holders of any other scholarship from holding a Gammack Scholarship. Two boys also obtained places on the credit list. Two boys won Senior {Education Board Scholarships, and 34 out of 42 candidates passed the Junior Civil or Senior Free Place Examinations. Of 27 candidates for Matriculation, 15 boys passed, including 4 for Medical Preliminary, and 1 for Engineering Preliminary. The institution of form prefects has been good, and we hope to see the system developed. The cadet corps numbers 180, and. has had a successful camp. The school workshop has been added to, and will now accommodate the full number of 24. In science many boys have taken pride in their note-books and practical work.

The school roll again marked a record number, rising from 226 at the close of 1909 to 255 for the first term of 1910, second term 250, third term 238. I]he drop in numbers in the third term is unusualljlarge, and both last year and this there have been indications of an undesirable tendency on the part of some parents to allow their children to take up Junior I ,, ice Places, but to throw them up- —for no very adequate reason—before the completion of the two-years course, [n 1909, of 17 pupils who left during the year. 18 resigned their Junior Free Places during their first year. In 1910, out of a total of 21 who left during tin , year, 15 were Junior Free Place scholars. 7 still in their first year. This is in marked contrast to the Senior Free Place scholars, only 2 of whom resigned during the year, one to take up a pupil-teachership, and one after an attendance of nearly six years. The number of Senior Free scholars staying for a fourth year or even longer, also shows a satisfactory increase. In all 64 Senior Free scholars attended. 165 Junior Free scholars, 3 pupils held school free places, and 26 paid fees. 12 of these being in the preparatory class. The general health of the pupils was very good, and the average attendance for the year is 228 out of an average roll of 248. In January Miss M, Barkas, M.A., resigned her )i<isiti<>n mi the teaching staff to take up a more remunerative post at the Christchurch Technical College. Her place was filled by Miss A. 1. Wilson, M.A., a past pupil of the school. Miss Bell-Hay was absent on leave for the year, and Miss Margaret

E.—6

Farrow. M.A.. another past pupil, acted as relieving assistant teacher. Miss Farrow has now received a permanent position on the staff of the Nelson Girls" College. The dressmaking classes were taken by Miss I. Webster*, late headmistress of the Training School Eor Teachers. Wakefield, Yorkshire. The inclusion of two classes in regular school hours led to a very satisfactory increase in the number "I pupils taking this subjeot. There have also been two cookery classes held on Mondays in addition to the Saturday class. A special teacher. Miss Alice Partridge*, was appointed at the beginning of the year to teach plain needlework, and Mrs. S. Mayne has filled the vacancy left by Miss Mabel Wauchop's resignation as teacher of swimming. At the Secondary Schools Conference, which was held in Wellington in May, the school was represented by the Lady Principal and two assistants, Miss L. Bing, 8.A.. and Miss G. Greenstreet, B.A. The death of His late Majesty King Edward VII occurred during the May school holidays: but as many of the pupils as could be collected—about a hundred —attended the memorial service in Cranmer Square on 20th May, and representatives of the teaching staff also attended the memorial service in tin; Christchuroh Cathedral on the evening of that day. No candidate from the school sat for the .Junior University Scholarship Examination of December, 1909. This failure bo present a candidate is almost unprecedented in the history of the school, and had certainly not happened for the past twenty-eight years. It was due mainly to the unusually small number in the Sixth Form in 1909 through the large demand that year for additional pupil-teachers in the primary schools, and partly to the temporary indisposition of the one candidate whose name had been entered lor the examination. Twenty-five pupils passed the Matriculation Examination, and I I the Junior Civil Service Examination, <>l whom 7 obtained credit. Thirty-six pupils were awarded Senior Free Places, and one a Junior Free Place. Three gained Education Board Senior Scholarships. In October, 1910. the school was visited by Dr. Anderson and Mr. Gill. M.A.. who inspected the general working of all the classes, and held an examination for Senior Free Places. Fifty-three were presented, of whom. 43 passed the preliminary test, and 5 of the othei subsequently succeeded in the regular Senior Free Place Examination held in December. At the December, 1910, University examination, Ada Fairbairn took first place on the credit list of the Junior University Scholarship Examination, thereby winning a Gammack Scholarship. Elizabeth Harvey and Eileen Fairbairn were placed in the credit list. Twenty-two pupils passed the Matriculation Examination. Eight pupils passed the Junior Civil Service Examination, 5 being placed in the credit list. One pupil was presented for tin' Junior Free Place examination, and was successful. The preparatory class was examined by Mr. T. S. Foster. M.A.. senior Inspector of the North Canterbury Education Board : the 2 pupils in the highest division received proficiency certificates. The following past pupils of the school have won distinctions during the year : Laura Christen sen. degree of M.Sc, with first-class honours in electricity and magnetism ; Margaret Farrow, degree of M.A., with second-class honours in botany ; Mary Barkas, degree of M.Sc. second-class honours in chemistry and research scholarship, Victoria College ; Irene Wilson, degree of M.A.. third-class honours in Latin and English ; Gwen Opie. degrees of B.Sc. and M.Sc. ; Alice Candy, degree of 8.A., and senior scholarship in economics; Edith Jackson, degree of B.A. and senior scholarship in heat, light, and sound ; Helen Leversedge. degree of B.A. and senior scholarship in French ; Ida Mann.

The total enrolment of new pupils during the year was L3O (67 boys and 63 girls), the number of new pupils entering being 55 (30 boys and 25 girls). The number of fee-paying pupils was 8. There were i:i attendance 3 scholarship-holders (1 Education Board. 2 Junior National). Tin , average attendance for the year was 112.

The removal of trees, levelling, and fencing undertaken last year were this year completed, and the grounds are now in perfect order. Mr. T. H. Gill, Inspector of Secondary Schools, visited the school in June.

Report of the Board of Governors. In compliance with your circular of the 7th December, 1910, I have the honour to forward the following genera.! report on the schools for the year ending 31st December, 1910. The schools were inspected in October last by the Assistant Inspector-Genera] of Schools, Dr. Anderson, and Inspector Gill, who reported generally on the satisfactory work done, and the efficiency of the staff. The main portion of the new Girls' High School building was completed in September, 1910. The building is thoroughly modern in all respects and temporarily meets the requirements of the school, but with the increased attendance it will be necessary at an early date to complete the additional wing which was provided for in the plan of the new building. It was very gratifying to the Board to have the building contract carried out and completed in a most satisfactory manner. J. R. Sinclair, Chairman.

The buildings occupied by the school during the year 1909 were found totally inadequate to accommodate the pupils who were enrolled at the commencement of 1910. The Board were fortunate in securing from Messrs. Wallis and Waddell, at a rent of £1 per week, the lease for twelve months from the Ist of February of the upper story of Ambrosse's Buildings. This provided for five class-rooms, and, although not all that could be desired, was probably the best that could be obtained for the purpose. The alterations, &c, to the surroundings cost the Board about £40. Owing to the large increase in the roll the Board invited applications for a second male assistant to take up commercial subjects, and on the 10th March Mr. A. B. Fitt, M.A., of Napier Boy's High School, was appointed. On the 29th March the Board accepted the tender of Mr. Owen Kelly for the erection of the new school buildings on the plans approved by the Department, the contract price being £4,350. The contract included the erection of a woodwork and a cookery room. On the 10th May the Southland Education Board made a distribution of the accumulated savings of the last ten years to the various technical schools. The amount allotted to Gore and received by the Hoard was £375 towards the cost of the erection of a cookery-room in brick, of which the primary-school teachers and pupils should have the use for classes as well as of the woodwork-room. On the 6th April the foundation-stone of the new school building was laid by His Excellency the Governor, Lord Plunket, B—E. (').

who was accompanied by the Right Hon. bhe Premier, Sir .1. (I. Ward, Mr. G. J. Anderson. M.P.. the Mayor and Mayor-elect of Gore, and members of the Board of Governors. During the year the grounds have been cultivated and improved with a view to having them laid down in grass at the earliest possible date. Some five hundred holly-trees have also been planted as a fence. The seating of the new school was the subject of much thought and consideration by the Board. Reports from various educational institutions in the large centres were considered, and eventually, on the L2t!i September, it was decided to install the automatic Triumph model of combined seat and desk, fifty-five double and thirty single desks being ordered. Arrangements were made with the Borough Council for drainage of the school buildings connecting with Richmond Street drain, the Board giving a subsidy of £15. In conclusion, the Board desire to place on record their high appreciation of the work of the Rector and his staff, and the Board have every reason to believe that splendid work is being carried out under considerable difficulties in regard to accommodation for classes and outdoor work. The results of the examinations have been most satisfactory, and the health and conduct of the, pupils also testify to the great care exercised by the staff. On the 9th December the annual break-up ceremony «as held. Mr. James Allen, M.P.. was invited by the Board of Governors to give an address and to present the prizes. The function was a most enjoyable and successful one. Andrew Martin, Chairman. George Brett. Secretary. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes.
