1. .EXTRACT FROM THE THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. SECONDAEY EDUCATION. Number of Schools. The schools usually included in the list of secondary schools in this report which were open in 1911 were thirty-two 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 ... ... ... 4 (c.) Other endowed secondary schools not coming within the definition of section 89 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 Total ... ... ... ... ... ... 32 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 statutory provision exists whereby the income derived from the endowments of the secondary schools may be devoted, if the Minister thinks fit, wholly or in part to the maintenance of these district high schools. It must also be borne in mind that, in addition to the above thirty-two schools, there are seven endowed schools providing suitable secondary education for Maori boys and girls, and a considerable number of private secondary schools. Roll and Attendance. The total number of pupils attending the thirty-two secondary schools in the last terms of 1910 and 1911 respectively was — , 1910. , 1911. s Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. Girls.

It will be noticed from the above figures that there is a very considerable fallingoff in tht roll numbers of district high schools at the end of the year. The same tendency, but in a much less degree, is evidenced in the secondary-school figure. This falling-off is more noticeable in the case of boys than of girls, and is due to the large number who leave school early to enter upon some vocation. 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 numbers on the rolls of the day technical schools were :—- -1910. 1911. Boys ... ... ... ... ... 545 598 Girls ... ... ... ... ... 708 743 Total ... ... ... 1,253 1,341 The numbers on the rolls of the secondary schools for Maoris (all of whom were boarders) were — 1910. 1911. Boys ... ... ... ... ... 182 177 Girls ... ... ... ... .. 196 210 Total ... ... ... 378 387 To obtain as close an estimate as possible of the total number receiving secondary education in schools, it will be necessary-to include pupils attending all the above classes— i.e. secondary schools proper, secondary departments of district high schools, Maori secondary schools, and day technical schools. Also private secondary schools subject to inspection must be taken into consideration. Of private secondary schools not so subject the Department has no information. We then arrive at the following total of all secondary-school pupils in New Zealand known to the Department : — Average Weekly Roll. 1910. 1911. Secondary schools ... ... ... ... 5,168 5,209* District high schools ... ... ... ... 2,189 2,090 Day technical schools .... ... ... 1,253 1,341 Maori secondary schools ... ... ... 378 387 Private secondary schools ... ... ... + 8311 Total ... ... ... 8,988 9,858 There has been a steady increase since last year in all the groups of schools giving secondary instruction, with the exception of district high schools ; these latter must, of necessity, decline somewhat, for from time to time, as districts become more closely settled, the district high schools are disestablished and secondary schools established in their stead ; thus, during the year, Hamilton High School replaced the district high school. The population of New Zealand, according to the 1911 census, was 1,058,312, including Maoris and Chatham Island colonists, but excluding the inhabitants of the Cook and other annexed islands. Thus, the proportion of persons receiving some form of day secondary instruction in 1911 was 93*1 per 10,000 of population. In 1906 the corresponding proportion was 72-7 per 10,000, so, even after allowing for private secondary schools, which were not taken into consideration in the earlier return, there has been a very steady development of secondary education in New Zealand during the past five years. Although, from an examination of the figures set out in blue-books received from England and Scotland, it would appear that the proportion in this Dominion is well ahead of that in those two countries, it is still behind the United States, which claims 122 secondary pupils per 10,000 of population. Further information in regard to the roll and attendance at secondary schools will be found in Tables Xl, K3, and K4, and at district high schools in Tables Ll 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 in certain cases to three years without examination. In the case of district high schools they are tenable 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 noncompetitive 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 of not less than £12 10s. per pupil, which is estimated to be sufficient to cover the necessary expenditure. The following are some of the figures for 1911 in regard to free places in secondary schools :— Number of secondary schools giving free tuition .. .. 29 Total roll number in these schools, excluding lower departments 4,608 Number of free-place holders, 1911 .. .. .. .. 4,021 1910 .. .. .. .. 3,685 Free-place holders as a percentage of roll number, 1911 .. 87 per cent. 1910 .. 75 Total annual payment by Treasury for free places .. .. £43,630 Cost to Treasury per free pupil, 1911 .. .. .. £10 17 0 1910 .. .. .. £11 0 11 It will thus be seen that there are now very few pupils—only 13 in every 100— who pay fees for admission into secondary schools. That the free-place system has undoubtedly been fully taken advantage of by the people of New Zealand is evidenced by the enormous increase in free places in the last few years. In 1903 there were 1,600 free pupils at secondary schools ; now the number has increased by more than 150 per cent. In order to arrive at the total number of pupils in New Zealand receiving free secondary instruction it will be necessary to include also 156 other holders of scholarships or exhibitions granted by these schools or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions for free places, 1,777 pupils in attendance at district high schools, almost all of whom were free pupils, receiving free tuition at an average cost to the Government of £9 19s. 2d. per pupil, 128 Maori pupils receiving free education in Maori secondary schools, and 1,260 holders of free places in technical

schools. There is thus an approximate total of 7,342 pupils receiving free secondary education in the Dominion, exclusive of those holders of free places in technical schools who were art students or evening students, or were taking courses which "may be more approximately described as technical 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, 1910 and 1911. , 1910. , , 1911. . (i.) Secondary schools — Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. Girls. Total, (a.) Junior free pupils ... 1,468 1,193 2,661 1,610 1,322 2,932 (b.)

We obtain thus the following approximate figures : — Number receiving Free Secondary Education in 1911. Secondary schools ... ... ... ... ... ... 4,221 District high schools ... ... ... ... ... .. 2,090 Technical day-schools ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,260 Maori secondary schools ... ... ... ... ... ... 128 Total ... ... ... ... ... 7,699 The corresponding number for 1910 may be estimated as 7,540, showing an increase for the year 1911 of 159 in the number in the Dominion who are receiving free secondary education. Scholarships held at Secondary Schools and District High Schools. 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. The following summary to Table XLI shows the number and value of Junior National Scholarships current in December, 1911 : — Number of scholarships, — Boys ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 75 Girls 51 Total ... ... ... ... ... 126 Number receiving boarding-allowance (included in the above total) ... 62 Number receiving travelling-allowance (similarly included) ... ... 1 Number held at secondary schools ... ... ... ... ... 103 Number held at district high schools ... ... ... ... 23 Total annual rate of payment as in December, 1911 ... ... ...£3,185

(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, the totals of which are for the whole of New Zealand :— Scholarships. At £40 per annum ... ... ... ... ... ... 113 At £35 per annum ... ... .. ... ... ... 7 At £30 per annum ... ... ... ... ... ... 40 Under £30 and not under £25 per annum ... ... ... 9 Under £25 and not under £20 per annum ... ... ... 17 Under £20 and not under £15 per annum ... ... ... 1 Under £15 and not under £10 per annum ... ... ... 185 Under £10 and not under £5 per annum ... ... ... 143 Under £5 per annum ... ... ... ... ... 67 Total... 582 Number of scholarships,— Boys ... ... ... ... ... ... 363 Girls 219 Total ... ... ... ... ... 582 Total expenditure of Boards on scholarships— £ In 1909 ... ... ... ... ... 8,694 In 1910 ... ... ... ... ... 9,232 In 1911 ... ... ... ... ... 9,244 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 £24. Further, four Boards do not give scholarships of a lower value than £10 per annum, whereas others offer scholarships of a value of £2. The most common period of tenure is two years. By the provisions of the Education 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 1911 was 171. Of the holders, forty-four were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total value of the scholarships in cash was £898 3s. 4d. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and private scholarships to the value of £945 65., 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:— r 1909. v r 1910. . t 1911. M. P. ' Tobal. M. F. Total. M. F. Total. Eegular staff ... 131 93 224 140 107 247 148 111 259 Part-time teachers ... 44 33 77 48 31 79 48 33 81 The average number of pupils per teacher (excluding part-time teachers) was 20-9 in 1910 and 21-1 in 1911.

E.—6

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 1910 there were 95 special assistants—4s men and 50 women. In 1911 there were 40 men and 47 women. Leaving out of consideration the head teachers of district high schools, the average number of pupils per teacher was 23 in 1910 and 21-7 in 1911. Salaries op 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 £61,082, as against £55,769 at the end of 1910. Full particulars will be found in Table K4. As might be expected, the salaries paid vary considerably ; the following summary shows the average salary paid to principals and assistants : — Average Salaries in Secondary Schools. , 1910. , 1911. .

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, 1910 and 1911, as follows :— 1910. 1911. £ 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 £17,880, as against £18,240 for 1910. The professional qualifications of the secondary-school teachers of the Dominion are as follows : — Status of Secondary Teachers (Regular Staff only), December, 1911.

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;

E.—6

(iv.) Income from the secondary-school reserves controlled by the Land Boards, divided among the secondary schools in the several land districts in proportion to the number of pupils in average attend- . - ance, 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 - instruction classes; (b) subsidies on voluntary contributions for manualinstruction 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 following is a summary of the receipts and expenditure of all secondary schools for the year 1911 :— Table X.-—Summary of the Accounts of Income and Expendituee for 1911 furnished by the Governing Bodies of Secondary Schools.

The receipts under " Tuition fees " are still gradually declining, owing to the steady advance of the free-place system. All other items show an increase in receipts or expenditure, as the case may be, with the exception of management and building grants.

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. Twenty of the secondary schools show a credit balance at the end of the year, and eight a debit balance. The net credit balance of all schools taken together has increased from £14,546 in 1910 to £16,838. This must be considered exceedingly satisfactory, as several High School Boards undertook heavy building programmes during the year ; and only one-fifth of. the funds therefor was supplied by the Government. Attention has been drawn in previous reports to the urgent necessity devolving upon the High School Boards for making better provision for the salaries of their staffs. It was stated that in many schools the staffs were inadequate and, in view of the high qualifications expected, indifferently paid. The Department is, therefore, pleased to be in a position to record that this year the average salary of secondary-school teachers has been considerably improved. The total payments for salaries have increased by over £4,400, while the average salary of male assistant teachers has increased during the year from £232 to £243, and that of female assistants has likewise increased from £145 to £155. It is hoped that the present rate of salaries, especially in the case of women, will not be curtailed in any future year. The item of income, " Sundries unclassified, £28,839," includes a loan of £23,100 to the Wanganui Collegiate School. For the whole Dominion, if there are taken into account only the secondary schools that admit free pupils under the Act, we find from Table K5 the following position :— 1909. 1910. 1911.

Further details of the income and expenditure of the secondary schools will be found in Tables K7 and KB. 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 eleven secondary schools during 1911 ; the total number of pupils in those departments was 256 ; the total cost of their instruction was £2,005 ; the total amount of fees received on their account was £2,030. (See Table K9.)

2. DETAILED TABLES.

TABLE K1.— Roll and Fees of Secondary Schools, as in December, 1911.

* Approximate. 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. G, Schools which, though endowed, do not admit, nor are they empowered to admit, free pupils.

REPORTS OF GOVERNING BODIES.

WHANGAREI HTGH SCHOOL. Staff. Mr. R. Lupton ; Mr. H. E. Q. Smith ; Miss I. T). Bruce ; Miss E. O. B. Lynch : Miss E. Blurahardt; Mr. Layzell • Miss Griffiths. 1. Report of the Board of Governors. I have the honour to report that the Whangarei High School is progressing satisfactorily under the headmaster, Mr. Lupton. During the year Miss Bruce, M.A., was appointed to succeed Miss A. M. L. Woolley, who resigned after many years good work in the school. The Board of Governors, finding that the teaching staff was insufficient to carry on the work of the school efficiently, through increase of number of scholars, have appointed Miss Lynch, M.A., and Mr. W. J. Bishop as assistants to the teaching staff, bringing its number up to six. The number of pupils in attendance at the school is 130. During the year the, residents of the district have assisted the Board in the proposal to raise funds to establish a boardinghouse and teachers' residence, where students from the country districts can be provided with boarding-accommodation under the supervision of the principal and his wife. Upwards of £500 was raised by subscriptions, which carried a Government subsidy of £1 for £1. In addition to this sum of money, your Department provided £1,000 on the public estimates towards such an object. The erection of such a building will be completed during the coming year. The Board has also made arrangements for acquiring additional land on which the boardinghouse and teachers' residence will be erected. To provide room for teaching purposes through the increase of pupils, the Board has provided two additional class-rooms to the present High School building. A local mining syndicate is making; arrangements with the Board for prospecting for coal and oil on the Kioreroa Endowment. If coal or oil is found in payable quantities, this will be the means of providing some further revenue for the Board to enable it to still improve the school, and further extend its sphere of usefulness.

I have the honour to submit, for your information, in accordance with the request contained in your letter of the 18th November last, my report on the Hamilton High School for the year ended 31st December, 1911. Hamilton is now in the proud position of having a secondary school. The first provision made for free secondary education in Hamilton was the establishment in 1908 of the Hamilton West District High School. Small at first, some fifteen scholars in all, the secondary classes increased in numbers year by year till, in 1909, there were between seventy and eighty on the roll of the secondary department. Realizing the many advantages that would accrue from the establishment in this centre of a high school proper, the Chamber of Commerce, with the co-operation of the local School Committees, moved for the disestablishment of the District High School, and its replacement by a secondary school similar in constitution to the other secondary schools of the Dominion. The result of this action was the granting by the Department of £4,000 for the erection of a school to provide the wished-for facilities for secondary and technical education. The foundation-stone of the new school was laid in July, 1910. The completion of the building was followed by the disestablishment of the District High School and the placing of the new institution, hereafter known as the Hamilton High School, under a Board of nine Governors. At the first meeting of the Board Mr. Eben Wilson, M.A., who had been in control of the secondary department of the District High School since its inception in 1903, was appointed headmaster, and on the 13th July school was finally opened by the Minister of Education. The high school is pleasantly situated, on elevated grounds overlooking Seddon Park—a central position especially appreciated by those scholars coming to school by rail. The main building is an imposing structure, in brick, containing six class-rooms, fitted upon modern lines. One of the largest rooms has been specially constructed as a laboratory for practical work in chemistry, physics, botany, and agriculture, and when fully equipped, which it will be before the first term of 1912, will be one of the finest school laboratories in the Dominion. To the rear of the main building are commodious shelter-rooms and the school workshop. The school-grounds cover about 5 acres. They have recently been laid out and planted in shrubs and ornamental trees, one portion of the area being reserved for practical work in gardening and agricultural training. A pleasing feature of the school's activity during its brief existence has been the great amount of work done by the scholars themselves in beautifying the school-grounds. In framing the curriculum the Board has endeavoured to combine in judicious proportions cultural and vocational studies. The school is in no way a technical school in the sense that its scholars are trained for various trades and crafts. What we are aiming at is the all-round development of the faculties through the medium of languages, mathematics, and science. This, we take it, is the main function of a secondary school. At the same time, we have , endeavoured, by the introduction of studies bearing more or less directly on life pursuits, to give students in the different courses some knowledge of the fundamental principles underlying the work to which many of them will direct their energies on leaving our school. At the close of the current year there were three teachers on the staff of the school—Mr. Eben Wilson, M.A., headmaster ; Mr. J. G. Paterson, M.A., M.Sc, who took up his duties as science master in October ; and Miss E. -C. Collins, 8.A., formerly assistant in the secondary department of the District High School. Arrangements have been made with the Technical Department, Education Board,

Auckland, for the services of special instructors in cookery, dressmaking, and woodwork. The High School scholars have received instruction in these subjects since the opening of the school. In conclusion, I may say that though much, has been done during the past five months of our government, much remains to be done. We are conscious that a bright futute lies before the Hamilton High School, and we mean to spare no effort to make our school an integral and vital factor in the life of- the town. _ . Geo.

Report-•oi , the Board of Governors. The Board met eighteen times during the year, holding twelve ordinary and six special meetings. At the request of the Board, a special inspection of the school was held by the Department, and the report obtained was generally of a favourable nature. Subsequently, as recommended in the report, a lady junior teacher was appointed to teach domestic science. An agricultural course was instituted at the beginning of the year, which was placed in charge of Mr. Ryder. It has proved a popular and desirable addition to the school curriculum. Considerable attention has been given to the question of separating the boys and girls, but, owing to want of funds, it has been impossible to give effect to this reform at present. Steps have, however, been taken, at an expense of some £2,500, to provide boarding-accommodation in connection with the Principal's residence. A conference was arranged of those educational bodies and others interested in the Opaku Reserves for Taranaki Scholarships, to endeavour to make better use of the funds accruing and accrued, and the recommendations of the conference have been placed before the Minister of Education. Towards the end of the year the much-respected Principal, Mr. E. Pridham, M.A., who had been in charge of the school for thirty years, retired, and Mr. W. H. Moyes, M.A., B.Sc, was appointed in his place. Walter Bewxey, Secretary.

During the year Mr. G. Wheeler resigned on account of ill health, and his subsequent death is much regretted by the Trustees, who warmly appreciated his conscientious and valued services. Bishop Wallis also resigned on account of ill health, and the Trustees desire to place on record their high estimation of the valuable assistance rendered by him in carrying out the work of the trust. The Bishop of Wellington and Mr. Thomas Allison were appointed to fill the vacancies. Mr. Gifford Marshall, whose term of office expired, was reappointed. The Trustees wish to note that the year under review was rendered memorable by the completion of the building scheme and the transfer of the school to its new quarters. The first term of the year ended the occupancy of the old College. The new buildings were officially opened on Easter Tuesday last by His Excellency the Governor, Lord Islington, and were duly occupied at commencement of second term, 1911.

A new syscern of administration at the school was then inaugurated, the Trustees taking over entire control. A steward was appointed to manage the boarding and staffing, thus relieving the hea_d and assistant masters of responsibility in these departments. After two terms' experience the change may be pronounced a complete success as regards both efficiency and economy. The coat of the new College, and furnishing it, totals £51,000. This sum covers not only the cost of the splendid.block of new buildings, consisting of school, hall, three houses, and headmaster's residence, but also the subsidiary buildings, as gymnasium, sanatorium, swimming-bath, laundry, workshop, &c, also preparation, planting, roading, and general laying-out of site. The Trustees consider this large sum has been well expended in providing a scholastic establishment unsurpassed in Australasia. The balance-sheet discloses a satisfactory position—a profit of £2,012 has been made on the year's working ; but, on the other hand, interest on loan appears at £1,086. fn future years this sum will be. increased to £2,250. ft is gratifying to know there should be no difficulty in meeting the heavy interestcharge ; on the contrary, there is every prospect in the near future that the finances will enable the Trustees to undertake the erection of a fourth house, or other urgent work. Owing to enforced delay in street-formation and other considerations, the old school-site has not been dealt with. The coming year should see considerable progress in this direction, and a corresponding enhancement of the revenue. The headmaster's report for the school year is as follows : — Annual Report. (1.) The average numbers of the school for the last three years have been— 1911. 1910. 1909. Boarders .. .. .. .. 166 149 137 Day boys . . . . .. . . .. 60 51 47 Total .. .. .. .. .. 266 200 184 (2.) The school entered the new buildings at the beginning of the second term of 1911. So much disorganization was caused by the move that it was decided not to hold any formal inspection of the work. The results, however, of the public examinations were not unsatisfactory, as may be seen from, the table of University examination results : — Matriculation— 1911. 1910. 1909. Entered .. .. .. .. ..25 25 28 Passed .. .. .. .. .. ..19 12 20 Junior Scholarships — Scholars .. .. .. .. .. ..1 0 1 Distinguished .. .. .. .. ..3 3 1 (3.) Buildings : The new buildings are answering to the expectations of those who planned them. In particular the dormitory ventilation is excellent, and the cubic space of air is ample. The immediate needs of the school in buildings and material are —A music school; a fourth boardiughouse ; laboratory furniture ; a cricket pavilion. The new chapel, which is the magnificient gift of the old boys, is to be dedicated upon Easter Day by the Lord Bishop of the diocese. (4.) Health : Since entering the new buildings the health of the boys has been excellent. There has been an almost absolute cessation of feverish colds and minor complaints of the throat and ears and stomach. During this time, however, there has been prevalent in the countryside an epidemic of measles, mumps, and a mild form of scarlet-fever. These the boarders have not escaped. But careful observation and prompt isolation have kept them within bounds, and careful attention has secured safety from after-effects. In each case the disease was introduced by a boarder, who returned with his health certificate duly signed. J. L. Dove. The new chapel, now nearing completion, will be consecrated by the Bishop of Wellington on Easter Sunday. This event will commejnorate a fitting completion to the institution. We wish to place on record our appreciation of the admirable and skilful work of the architects, Messrs. Atkins and Bacon, for the new school buildings, also the careful and faithful manner in which the work was carried out by the contractor, Mr. N. Meuli. The Trustees' Secretary, Mr. Williamson, has had his work and responsibility largely increased by the change to new system of administration, and the thanks of the Trustees are due to him for his capable and painstaking attention to the interests of the Trust.

In accordance with custom, I have much pleasure in giving a summarized report on the working of the High and Technical Schools during the past year : High School— The new building was opened on the 16th February, 1911, by the Hon. G. Fowlds, Minister of Education, and the school has been worked much more smoothly than was the case the previous year, when the Technical School had to be used while the new school was being built. The new building has proved highly satisfactory, and entirely suited to the purpose for which it was erected. What at the time appeared to be a dire calamity has proved a real benefit. In the first place, the loss of the old school, and the subsequent use of a building not erected for the purpose, put the teachers on their metal, and made each individual an organizer. More than that, when the new school was occupied, the advantages were found to be so many that the work became a pleasure. The Board can now claim to be in charge of two of the finest buildings in the Dominion in proportion to their size. The efforts made by the Board to erect an assembly hall have been crowned with success, and, thanks to the kindness and energy displayed by the Mayoress, both buildings are now clear of debt. 1 feel proud that during my second year of office, and within a year of the High School being erected, the heavy debt of the Board has been completely liquidated, and the individual members relieved from the necessity of being guarantee for an overdraft at the bank. Mrs. Nash's effort, which covered several months of hard and continuous work, resulted in a first payment of £250, which, with the Government subsidy, amounts to £500, and a promise, to make up another £250 when affairs are balanced up. The Board owes a debt of gratitude to the Mayoress, and also to the Mayor, who so ably backed up her efforts. The final result will be an additional £1.000 to the funds, which will pay off all liabilities, and leave a handsome surplus for future necessities. Baths.—-I would suggest for the Board's consideration during the current year a scheme for the establishment of swimming-baths on the Rangitikei Street frontage. Girls' School.— -During the year the Rector expresses the opinion that in the near future a girls' school would be necessary and advisable instead of enlarging the present building. With a view of securing the requisite land, an application has been made to the Government for 5 acres in Grey Street, and when an answer is received the Board might favourably consider the proposal. Staff.— Timing the year the staff has worked most harmoniously together, and put forth every effort to place the school in the front rank. Miss Lynch, senior mistress, resigned during the early part of the year, and Miss Ironside, M.A., was appointed. Mr. Dobbie was appointed an extra junior master. Roll.— Each year finds an advance in numbers, the average for last year being nine above the previous College House.— The boarding establishment, so ably conducted by the Rector and Mrs. Vernon, has grown so much in popularity that it has had to be further increased in size, and its increased accommodation is still taxed to the utmost. Examination Result.— -The result of the examination by Dr. Anderson and Mr. Gill was eminently satisfactory and the proportion of passes at outside examinations was well above the average. While the utmost attention is given to the development of the intellectual qualities, the moral and physical qualities are not neglected. Football and cricket, tennis and hockey for the boys, and tennis and hockey for the girls constitute the principal games, and the teachers take great interest in the resultant physical development. . . , , Grounds —Thanks to the excellent work of the gardener, Mr. Leet, and to the supervision of the chairman of the ground committee, Mr. Barnicoat, the grounds are in excellent condition, and the gardens have been restored to their original beauty.

The school opened with a roll-number of eighty-six boys and fifty-five girls. The attendance was well maintained, the roll-number at the close of the year being seventy-eight boys and forty-five girls. In February, Mr. C. A. de Latour, who had been a member of the Board since its inception in 1885, resigned, owing to ill health. The Board desires to take this opportunity to place on record its very high appreciation of the excellent services rendered by him in the cause of education generally, and of the good work he carried out in the establishing of the High School and the erection of the buildings, &c. Mr. J. R. Kirk was nominated by His Excellency the Governor to fill the vacancy. The fitting-up of the science-room and the dairy-room has proved of great benefit. The boys in the agricultural class were given a course of instruction in plain cookery, under Miss Biggens, technical instructor, who speaks well of the attention paid and the progress made. They also had a course in wool-classing, under Mr. Cahill, technical instructor. The school-accommodation is ample for the present requirements, but during the year it was found necessary to enlarge the schoolhouse, which was done at a cost of £771 17s. 6d., £700 of which the Governors had to obtain by way of loan. The number of boarders the last term of 1911 was sixteen. At the examinations held by the New Zealand University and the Education Department at the end of the year the following distinctions were gained by pupils of the school : Junior University Scholarship—One passed with credit, gaining a bursary ; three passed Matriculation. Matriculation —Five passed. Junior Civil Service—Eight passed. Board Senior Scholarship —Seven passed. Senior Free Place —Thirty gained place on recommendation, three passed examination. Board Junior Scholarship—Five passed. Junior Free Place —Two passed. The estimated attendance next year is 130. This, we, believe, would be largely augmented if the train service were suitable, so as to enable holders of proficiency certificates who reside in the country to reach school in time in the morning and return home in the evening, as parents feel the expense of boarding them in town. We hope that when the next section of the Gisborne-Motu Railway is opened the new time-table will be found more suitable to our requirements. J. W. Nolan, Chairman. W. Morgan, Secretary. 2.

The Governors of the Dannevirke High School have the honour to present their sixth annual report' and they are pleased to state that the school continues to be carried on efficiently. At the close of last year the numbers on the roll were —boys, 43 ; girls, 38 : total, 81. Of these, 25 boys and 32 girls returned at the beginning of the year, 38 new pupils were enrolled during the year, and 14 left. The numbers on the roll for the last term of this year were 41 boys and 4] girls : total, 82.' The highest roll-number during the year was 94. The work of the school has gone on very much as formerly, the usual classical, mathematical, science, and manual-training subjects being taught. A new departure is the class in practical agriculture, under the supervision of Mr. Loten. The boys take a keen interest in the subject, particularly in the outdoor work, and it is unfortunate that their first year has encountered such an unfavourable season. All the boys have been enrolled and have passed the medical examination for Senior Cadets, but their uniforms and equipment have not yet come to hand. In the various public examinations our pupils acquitted themselves with credit, the candidates for the scholarship examinations being particularly successful. The school games have been entered into with zest by most of the boys and girls, and from this training the pupils have derived great benefit. During the past year the following additions were made to the school buildings.: A luncheon-room for the girls, a dressing-room and sho.wer-bath for the boys, and a commodious stable foi- the pupils' horses have been erecfoid. Also, a large roller has been procured for the grounds. The Board desires to express its high appreciation of the devoted and efficient manner in which the Principal and staff hay : discharged their duties. A. Grant, Chairman. T. Macallan, Secretary. 2.

I beg to submit the following brief report on the work of the Marl borough High School for the year ending the 31st December, 1911 : — The roll-number for the year showed an increase on that of previous years, fifty new pupils being admitted. On the other hand, owing largely to the demand for boys for oflice-work, a greater number than usual left during the year. Seven pupils passed the Matriculation Examination ; one kept second year's University terms and sat for the first section of the B.A. degree ; and one sat for the Barrister's General Knowledge Examination. The additions to the school building have made it much more commodious, and enable the frequent moving of classes from room to room to be avoided. The new science-room is one of the best designed in the Dominion. The advantages of the school would be more extended if provision were made for the boarding of country pupils. At present, however, the financial position of the Board will not permit this. This year a class has been formed for agriculture. The number of pupils joining it is very satisfactory, and the class evidently takes a great interest in the work. For the purpose of practical work a section adjoining the school-ground has been leased, [t is hoped to extend the benefits of the study of agriculture by undertaking work somewhat outside the school course, but of general benefit to the community. The School cadets are now under the new scheme of military training. The number of parades required seems unduly large, and it is also necessary to keep the boys for some time after the ordinary school hours in order to make up the full hour. The library has been increased considerably, and a large and interesting collection of geological specimens has been presented to the school by the late Mr. A. J. Litchfield. R.

The average number of boys in attendance was 203, and the average number of boarders 95. The proportion of free pupils continues to rise, being 80 per cent, this year (1911). The general health of the pupils was excellent.

The average number at the Girls' College was 155, and the average number of boarders 42, and the general health of the pupils was excellent. At the beginning of the year a course in agriculture was added to the existing professional and commercial courses, and it became necessary to provide further facilities for the teaching of science •by the erection of three new laboratories. Plans and specifications for the new laboratories are com plete. and the new buildings will be thoroughly equipped and ready for use at the beginning of 1913. The equipment of the gymnasium at the Girls' College was improved by the addition of a large wall mirror and a punching-ball, and. an additional bedroom and bathroom made out of the former hospital. In outdoor sports the Boys' College was very successful, winning the senior championship lor the Nelson district in football, and the Andrew Trophy for clean play. The Girls' College clubs were unusually active, the camera clubhand the hockey club doing specially good work. The former are indebted to Mr. Brusewitz for his lectures on. photography, and his helpful criticism : the latter to Mr. Spear, under whose able coaching they had a very successful season. They were runners-up for the senior championship and for both the senior and junior six-a-side tournaments. Three girls were picked to represent Nelson at the New Zealand" championship meeting. The results of the public examinations were very satisfactory. Boys' College : Thirty-six boys passed the Junior Civil Service or the Intermediate Examinations; two the Senior Civil Service full, and. four partial ; twelve the Matriculation : two the Junior Scholarships with credit : two the firstyears' terms. Girls' College : Two girls, \V. Betts and I. Gill, obtained Senior National Scholarships, and one passed the examination with credit. One girl obtained the first section of the B.A. degree, two passed second-year's terms, and four first-year's terms. Seven passed Matriculation and the allied examinations, and two the Senior Civil Service Examination. Fourteen were successful in the Junior Civil Service Examination, all but two gaining credit, and five passed the Senior Free Place Examination. Twenty-four gained Senior Free Places under clause 7 (a), and four obtained extension under clause (5) 1.

Report ok the Boarjj of Governors. During the past year the school has continued to make a very satisfactory advance, both as regards increased attendance and successful work. The increase of the teaching staff, made last year, has proved to be. thoroughly warranted, and a more comprehensive programme, of work is now arranged. The school has done well in the various examinations, the percentage of passes comparing favourably with larger schools. A pupil of the school took a prominent place as a winner of a Junior University Scholarship, while another pupil won an Australasian Military Scholarship, and is now training for an officer's career at Duntroon, New South Wales. The agricultural science classes have been taken up enthusiastically by pupils who intend following agricultural or pastoral pursuits, and the section where the students work is now making an excellent display of well-grown products. The work done has been favourably commended by officers of the Agricultural Department. The school boardinghouse has proved a great success ; so much so that the Board has been obliged to build a new dining-room and kitchen. The inspection report on the w T ork of the school is again very satisfactory. Towards the end of 1911 the Board arranged to take over the control of technical education in this portion of North Canterbury, and it is hoped that the new arrangement will considerably benefit the cause of Education. The High School cadets have maintained their reputation for efficiency : and the cricket and football teams have kept up the credit of the school in the field. Prom present indications the attendance at the school, in 1912, promises to be the largest on record. Robert Ball, Chairman. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes.

Among the distinctions won by old boys are : F. C. Hay gained the highest marks in the examination for associate member of the Institute of Civil Engineers ; D. B. McLeod and P. S. Nelson "obtained their B.Sc. ; H. Broadhead won a classical scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge ; and two won exhibitions at Canterbury College; C. H. Gould won a science scholarship at Guy's Hospital; H. G. Denham has been appointed lecturer in chemistry at Brisbane. Owing to' the absence of the headmaster, and the resignation of Mr. Watt, there were three new masters on the staff this year. Mr. T. Cane also has resigned. At the end of the second term masters from the School of Art were placed in charge of the drawing and woodwork classes, with very favourable results. The cadet corps was inspected by Major-General Godley and also by Colonel Heard, who both expressed themselves as pleased with their efficiency. The life-saving classes have been continued, with great success. B. K. S. Lawrence, Acting Headmaster. 2. WORK OF THE HIGHEST AND LOWEST CLASSES.

The term numbers were —first term, 254 ; second term, 244 ; third term, 238. Senior Free Places were held by 70 pupils, Junior Free Places by 167, 9 paid fees, 1 held a School Free Place, and 13 were in the lower department. Only 4 girls resigned their Junior Free Places before the completion of the two years' tenure, a great improvement on the withdrawals in 1910 : the other junior pupils who left during the year were transferred to schools in other centres. Though prevalent epidemics reduced the average attendance somewhat, it was 228 for the year, and the general health of the pupils was good. In January Miss Bell-Hay resumed her duties, after a year's absence on leave, and, at the close of December Miss Nora Gardner, who has conducted the Singing Classes for the past sixteen years, severed her connection with the school, as she has decided to relinquish class teaching. The steadily increasing need of increased and up-to-date accommodation for the cookery and domestic science and dressmaking classes, of a larger room for the preparatory class, and of up-to-date cloak-rooms makes further building extensions at as early a date as , possible not only desirable but actually imperative. In October the school was visited by the Assistant Inspector-General (Dr. Anderson) and Mr. T. H. Gill, 8.A., who inspected the general work, and held a test examination for Senior Free Places, by which 58 out of the 66 pupils who presented themselves were admitted to Senior Free Places.

In November the upper standards of the preparatory class were examined by Mr. William Brock. one of the Inspectors of the North Canterbury Education Board. Four pupils received proficiency "certificates for the Sixth Standard, and three were awarded competency certificates in Standard V. At the December University Examinations, Senior National Scholarships were won by Thursa Warring, "Ruby Ray, and Nancy Wagstaff ; Mabel .Jones was placed in the credit list, and gained a Gammack Scholarship : another pupil matriculated on the Scholarship papers. Sixteen pupils were presented for matriculation, of whom ten passed. Twelve pupils passed the Junior Civil Service Examination, three being placed on the credit list. Four pupils won Senior Education Board Scholarships offered by the North Canterbury Education Board —Beatrice Smith, Elsie Hall, Gertrude Greig, and Mabel Large. The arrangements made by the Governors for enabling all the pupils to view the Coronation Day procession as it passed the school were marred by the heavy rain. The school year was in other respects uneventful. During the year the degree of M.A., University of New Zealand, was conferred on three past pupils. Alice Candy also gaining second-class honours in political science, Edith Jackson >second-class honours in physical science (electricity), and Helen Leversedge second-class honours in Latin and French. The degree of B.A. was conferred on Jessie Hay and Lydia Suckling, and exhibitions in French and biology were won at Canterbury College by Catherine Reynolds and Julia Pegg respectively. M. V.

In compliance with your Department's circular of the 18th November, 1911, I have the honour to forward the following general report of the schools for the year ending the 31st December, 1911. The average attendance at the schools during the year was 314 at the Boys' and 194 at the Girls'. The staff at the Boys' School has undergone a considerable change, owing to the deaths of Mr. John Macpherson, commercial master, and Mr. R. A. McCullough, in charge of the mathematical department. Both these gentlemen did good services at the school, the former for twenty-five years, and the latter for over six yeard. Messrs. John Reid and W. J. Martyn have been appointed to the vacancies caused by their decease ; and, further, in consonance with the advice of the Inspectors, Dr. Anderson and Mr. Gill, together with the recommendation of the Rector, an additional master has been added to the staff of the school. Miss M. E. A. Marchant, Principal of the Girls' School, sent in her resignation at the end of the year, and her place has been filled by the appointment of Miss F. M. Allan to the Acting Principalship. Miss Marchant held her onerous position for sixteen years, and was thorough in her work. Miss Allan has given every satisfaction during the many years she has been in the service of the Board, and it is assured that the interests of the establishment will not suffer at her hands. The record of the work of the schools has been most satisfactory for the past year, as will be seen from the reports of the Rector of the Boys' School and the Principal of the Girls' School. A new laboratory is urgently required at the Boys' School, and as the funds at the Board's disposal are very limited, application will be made for a grant to enable this work to be carried out. The erection of the second wing of the Girls' School is also engaging the attention of the Board. Thomas Fergus, Chairman. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes.

In presenting the third annual report of the work of the school, our first words are those of congratulation. We have looked long and fervently to the completion of our new school buildings, and are glad to report that same were completed during the year. The original plans were somewhat diverted from, in so far that the proposed cookery-room, which was intended to be in part of the main building, was added to the woodwork-room, and a room was thus released as a class-room. The buildings completed cost £5,337 14s. In this was included the technical rooms (£430), play-sheds, lavatories, fencing, &c. (£309), laboratory contract (£155), and sundries (£93). The seating (£176), electric light (£136), and laboratory equipment (£120) were over and above the £5,337 14s. Together with groundimprovements a total expenditure of over £6,000 has been incurred. We are anxious to improve the grounds and surroundings of the school, such as a cricket-pitch for the boys, tennis-courts for the girls, and a fives court, and the plot set apart for the development of agricultural experiments and additional holly-tree fencing will cost fully £300, and for this amount we are appealing to our friends for assistance. Already close on £100 is in hand. We sincerely hope the friends who desire to see higher education develop in our midst will come to our assistance. The Government of the day has borne all the expense so far, and they expect those interested in the school to carry out such works as those mentioned. Our new school, which we can safely say is a credit to the district and an ornament to the town, was officially opened by the Hon. Sir James Carroll (Acting-Premier) on the 28th June last. Sir James was accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Ngata, and both gentlemen gave interesting addresses, as also did Messrs. G. J. Anderson, M.P., D. L. Poppelwell (Mayor of Gore), and W. N. Stirling (Chairman of the Southland Education Board). In concluding our report on the erection of the school buildings, we desire to express our high appreciation of the excellent manner in which Mr. Owen Kelly and his staff carried out their work. During the year we have, owing to increased attendance, been obliged to add to our teaching staff, and Miss Gladys Cameron, M.Sc., and Mr. J. E. Strachan, M.A., have been appointed. At the end of the second term we lost the services of Mr. A. B. Fitt, M.A., owing to his desire to visit the Old Land and the Continent to further prosecute his studies. In conclusion, the Board desire to place on record their high appreciation of the work of the Rector and staff. We believe excellent work has been done under considerable difficulties in the past, and therefore believe that greater achievement will be accomplished in the future. The results of the examinations have been most satisfactory, and we are looking forward to an increased number of pupils on our roll for the coming year. A. Martin, Chairman. 2. Report op the Rector. I have the honour to present the following report for the 1911 session. Much of the information that it is desirable the parents of the children should have is contained in the annual inspection report, which has just come to hand. Owing to the phenomenal increase in the roll-number, the Board of Governors found it necessary to advertise for additional teachers. At the beginning of the first term Miss G. C. M. Cameron, M.Sc, and Miss M. Wilson, M.A., were appointed temporary relieving-teachers, and both gave faithful service. Subsequently Miss Cameron received appointment as permanent junior lady assistant. Thereafter until the end of the term Miss A. M. Bentham, M.A., did splendid work as relieving-teacher. At the beginning of the second term Mr. J. E. Strachan, M.A., who had been appointed science master, took up his duties. Owing, however, to the fact that our science apparatus has not come to hand, Mr. Strachan has not been able to take up the special work for which he was appointed, but has ably carried on his share of the general and, for the last term, the commercial work of the school. At the end of the second term we lost the valuable services of Mr. A. B. Fitt, M.A., commercial master. His departure was a severe loss to the school, for both as a teacher and as a man he wielded a powerful influence for good among the boys and girls. We trust that his successor, recently appointed, will continue his good work successfully. We commenced our second term in our new school, and, needless to say, both staff and pupils were sincerely thankful to be at last housed in comfortable, commodious, and well-equipped premises. Although, owing to the frequent changes in the staff, the session has been an arduous one, still the work of the school has been most pleasant and satisfactory. Again, I desire to express my sincerest thanks to the staff for the excellent way in which they have carried out their duties, and for their continued loyalty to me as head of the school. I desire also to express my keen appreciation of the friendly and sympathetic attitude of the Chairman and members of the Board of Governors towards the staff and myself. Joseph Hunter, Rector.

Ln compliance with the provisions of section 98 of the Education Act, 1908. the Board of Governors of the Southland High Schools presents the following report of its proceedings for the year ended the 31st December, 1911. The Board is pleased to be able to report that the institutions under its control continue to carry on efficiently the work of secondary education in this district. Staffs. —Boys' School: The staff of the Boys' School has undergone but little change during the year. Mr. .lames B. Struthers, M.A., was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the re ignation of Mr. James Pow, who, after seven years of excellent service, removed to Dunedin. Girls' School : At the beginning of the year Miss C. M. Cruickshank, Lady Principal, resigned her position, after five years' splendid work, to accept an ajipointment as Lady Principal of the Girls' College, Wanganui. Miss Cruickshatik's resignation was accepted by the Board with a keen sense of regret at her removal from a position which she had filled with great credit. The vacancy was duly advertised, and from a long list of applicants Miss Jobson, M.A. (Melb.) was appointed. The Board, after a year's experience, is gratified to be able to report that the interests of the Girls' School are not likely to suffer under Miss Jobson's careful management. During the year Misses G. F. Gibson and E. S. Morrison resigned their positions after a period of highly useful service, and their places were filled by the appointment of Misses G. L. Opie, M.A., M.Sc, and M. F. Dale, M.A. Inspection. —Both schools were inspected during the latter part of the year by Dr. Anderson, Assistant Inspector-General of Schools, and Mr. T. H. Gill, Inspector of Secondary Schools, and their joint report on each school was of a uniformly favourable character. Attendance and Successes of Pupils. —ln the Boys' School, 163 pupils were enrolled during the year, the average roll being 146. ln the December examinations three Senior National Scholarships and two University bursaries were gained, while fifteen matriculated. Two out of the three Senior Education Board Scholarships were gained by the school. Nineteen passed the Junior Civil Service and seven the Senior Free Place Examinations respectively. The classes in the Boys' School have remained in accordance with the suggestions of the Secondary Schools' Conference, lITb now being the lowest. A new subject was added to the curriculum by the inclusion of (theoretical) agriculture. Among old boys, A. R. Acheson, Bach. Eng., was promoted to be Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Syracuse University, New York; T. R. Mac Gibbon won his F.K.C.S. England; and A. Gordon Macdonald has been appointed Inspector of Mines in Malay. In the Girls' School the maximum number on the roll during the year was 161, and the average roll-number 142. In the December examinations, 1910, one candidate gained a Senior National Scholarship, seventeen matriculated, fifteen satisfied the requirements for Junior Civil Service—six with credit —and four for that of Senior Free Place. The number of free-place pupils has, since the introduction of that system, gradually increased till now there were at the close of the year but fifteen fee-paying students in both schools. Buildings and Grounds. —The school buildings and grounds have been maintained in good order during the year, but no new works were undertaken. The Board, however, has had under consideration the necessity which exists in the district for the establishment of a domestic-training school for girls, combined with a hostel where suitable board and lodging may be provided for those pupils from country districts in attendance at the school who are unable to avail themselves daily of the railway facilities provided by the Department. This is a somewhat serious undertaking, and cannot well be

carried into effect without financial assistance by the Government in providing a suitable site and in the erection of a building adequate for the purpose. 'Co finance the project, even with the assistance promised, will tax to the utmost the Board's energies for some years to come. Finance. —The Board's financial position, as shown by the balance-sheet and allied returns, is quite satisfactory. Its indebtedness to the Bluff Harbour Board in respect of a loan of £2,500 secured .some years ago to assist in the erection of the girls' new school and the renovation and extension of the boys' school has been extinguished. Copies of the annual reports of the Principals of both schools, and the prospectus for the now current year, are sent herewith. All departmental returns due in respect of the,year 1911 have already been forwarded. W. Macalistee, Chairman. John Neill, Secretary. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes.
