1. EXTRACT FROM THE THIRTY-SIXTH 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 1912 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. In addition to the above thirty-two schools, there are nine 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 1911 and 1912 respectively was— , 1911.-—- , 1912. , Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. Girls. Total. Eoll (exclusiveof lower departments) 3,058 2,151 5,209 3,202 2,340 5,542 Number in lower departments ... 164 92 256 167 122 289 Total ... ... 3,222 2,243 5,465 3,369 2,462 5,831 Number of boarders (included above) 680 152 832 701 152 853 The following are some of the figures in connexion with the roll and attendance of secondary schools and secondary departments of district high schools :— (a.)

A comparison of these figures shows that there is a considerable diminution in the roll numbers at district high schools at the end of the year. The falling-ofi is found to be more noticeable in the case of boys than of girls, and is regarded as being due to the fact that a large number of the former leave school early with a view to entering 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 day 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 :— 1911. 1912. Boys ... ... ... ... ... 598 684 Girls ... ... ... ... ... 743 842 Total ... ... ... 1,341 1,526 The number on the rolls of the secondary schools for Maoris were— 1911. 1912. Boys ... ... ... ... ... 177 163 Girls ... ... ... ... .. 210 206 Total ... ... ... 387 369 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. 1911. 1912. Secondary schools ... ... ... ... 5,209- 5,542* District high schools ... ... ... ... 2,090 2,048 Day technical schools ... ... ... 1,341+ 1,526+ Maori secondary schools ... ... ... 387* 369* Private secondary schools ... ... ... 831J 883J Total ... ... ... 9,858 10,368 * Roll at end of year. f Actual number on roll during year. J Represents only private secondary schools inspected by the Department. In spite of slight decreases in the numbers at district high schools and Maori secondary schools, there has been a satisfactory increase in the total number receiving secondary education. Based on the estimated population of New Zealand as at the 31st December last, the proportion of persons receiving some form of day secondary education in that year was 94 per 10,000 of population. Free Secondary Education. Under the 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.

E.—H

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 Intermediate Competitive or Non-competitive Examination, the last-named being regarded as the special examination for Senior Free Places. These two examinations are held simultaneously, and differ mainly in the fact that in the Intermediate Non-competitive Examination different papers are set in certain subjects to meet the require ments 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 capitation 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 and 1912 in regard to free places in secondary schools : — 1911. 1912. Number of secondary schools giving free tuition 29 29 Total roll number, excluding lower departments .. *5,209 5,542 Number of free-place holders .. .. .. .. 4,021 4.450 Free-place holders as a percentage of roll number .. *77 percent. 80 per cent. Total annual payment by Government for free places .. £43,630 £50,199 Cost to Government per free pupil .. .. .. £10 17s. £10 15s. sd. * 1911 figures amended. It will thus be seen that there are now very few pupils—only 19-7 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 nearly 180 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 157 other holders of scholarships or exhibitions granted by the secondary schools included above or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions for free places, 1,815 pupils in attendance at district high schools, almost all of whom were free pupils, 103 Maori pupils receiving free education in Maori secondary schools, and 1,375 holders of free places in technical schools. Consequently, there are approximately 7,900 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 who were taking courses which may be more appropriately 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, 1911 and 1912. 1911. , , 1912. , (i.) Secondary schools— Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. Girls. Total. (a.) Junior free pupils . 1,610 1,322 2,932 1,770 1,440 3,210 (b.)

We obtain thus the following approximate figures : — • Number receiving Free Secondary Education. 1911. 1912.

The estimated increase for the year in the number receiving free secondary education is therefore 486. 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 Governors') 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 pupulation, 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 L 4 shows the number and value of Junior National Scholarships current in December, 1911, and December, 1912, respectively:— Number of scholarships,— 1911. 1912.

(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 Intermediate Scholarship or Competitive 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 L 5, the totals of which are for the whole of New Zealand :— Scholarships. At £40 per annum ... ... ... ... ... ... 121 At £35 per annum ... ... .. ... ... ... 5 At £30 per annum ... ... ... .. ... ... 45 Under £30 and not under £25 per annum ... ... ... 5 Under £25 and not under £20 per annum ... ... ... 16 Under £20 and not under £15 per annum ... ... ... 1 Under £15 and not under £10 per annum ... ... ... 186 Under £10 and not under £5 per annum ... ... ... 141 Under £5 per annum ... ... ... ... ... 46 Total... ... ... ... ... ... 566 Number of scholarships,— Boys 352 Girls ... ... ... ... ... ... 214 Total ... ... ... ... ... 566 Total expenditure of Boards on scholarships— £ In 1909 ... ... ... ... ... 8,694 In 1910 ... ... ... ... ... 9,232 In 1911 ... ... ... ... ... 9,244 In 1912 ... ... ... ... ... 9,976 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' 1 ) 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 ascertain schools, by bequest or otherwise. The number of foundation and private scholarships injthe last term 0fJ1912 was 175. Of the holders, forty-nine were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total value of the scholarships in cash was £1,371 10s. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and private scholarships to the value of £1,029 lis., the value of the Government free places already mentioned not being included in this amount.

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 1911 there were 87 special assistants —40 men and 47 women. In 1912 there were 38 men and 49 women. Leaving out of consideration the head teachers of district high schools, the average number of pupils per teacher was 21*7 in 1911 and 21-4 in 1912. Salaries of Secondary Teachers. The total amount paid as salaries to the regular staffs of secondary schools as at the rates paid in December last was £65,845, as against £61,082 for the previous year. Full particulars will be found in Table K4. The following summary, shows the average salary paid to principals and assistants : — Average Salaries in Secondary Schools. , 1911. , 1912. , M. F. All.

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, 1911 and 1912, as follows : — 1911. 1912. £ s. d. £ s. d.

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 Land Boards, 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 - 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 of this revenue for the three preceding years, 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 1912 :— Table X.—Summary of the Accounts of Income and Expenditure for 1912 furnished by the Governing Bodies of Secondary Schools.

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 1912 ; the total number of pupils in those departments was 287 ; the total cost of their instruction was £1,829 ; the total amount of fees -received on their account was £2,266. (See Table K10.)

The boarding-school has been completed at a cost of £2,075. This establishment is now occupied by boys from the country who attend the Whangarei High School, and are under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Lupton, who are in residence in the boarding-school. Both the school and the boarding-school buildings have been connected with the town water and drainage services. During ihe year the ReV. J. L.

In the first term of 1911 there were 546 boys, and for the first term of 1912 there were 615, an increase of sixty-nine, thus compelling the Board to erect four new class-rooms, of which two were furnished and used, and the other two it is expected will be used in 1913. Distinctions. —At the examination for entrance scholarships of the University held in December. 1911, W. G. Stevens gained the seventh Junior Scholarship, and Senior National Scholarships were awarded to C. H. A. Senior, V. R. Brown, E. A. Watkin, P. E. Dromgool, G. H. Grant.

[ Appendix

Cadet Corps. —All boys attending the school are members of the school contingent of Senior Cadets, with the exception of five who are medically unfit. The corps was first in the New Zealand secondary schools shooting competition, with a score of 524 points out of a possible 560 ; and the junior team was second in the Schools of the Empire junior match. Prizes. —The prizes, costing £57 2s. 10d., were presented by mc in the Choral Hall on the 19th December, 1912. Mr. J. P. Hooton, as usual, gave two prizes for English essays, won by W. C. Tidmarch and P. 0. Veale. Mr. P. M. Mackay, J.P., also as usual, gave for practical chemistry a prize which was won by Mr. W. H. Cocker. New School. —The Board wishes to thank the Government for the promise of a grant of £12,000 towards the £40,000 required to erect a new school at Mount Eden for six hundred boys on the 15 acres granted by Parliament. Up to the 31st December, 1912, the Board has spent £1,968 3s. 4d. on the formation of the ground, and another £2,000 will be required to complete the formation. Owing to the rocky and broken nature of the site, a considerable amount of excavating, blasting, and filling has been done, and more still requires to be done. Auckland Girls' Grammar School. Increase in Pupils. —At the beginning of the year 1912 this school opened with 430 girls, an advance of fifty on the same term of the previous year, thus creating a demand for more class-rooms. So three of the caretakers' rooms were taken away from them, and two of these were turned into a classroom and the other was used as a lunch-room. Additional cloak-room space for ninety girls was arranged for. Distinctions. —I am pleased to be able to report that Bessie Battersby was awarded the Sinclair Scholarship at the Auckland University College, and that D. Burrow gained a Senior National Scholarship. In addition to these, one girl passed the Junior University Scholarship Examination " with credit," and four girls gained matriculation on the same examination. Also, twenty-five girls passed the Matriculation Examination of the University of New Zealand. Of these, twenty passed Matriculation, Solicitors' General Knowledge, and Medical Preliminary, four passed the Matriculation and Solicitors' General Knowledge, and one passed Matriculation. In the Junior Civil Service list there were sixty-one successes, twenty-three of whom passed " with credit." and two girls gained Senior District Scholarships. School-grounds. —-The work of improving the school-grounds still continues, but so far we have been unable to use the courts, which are made in the gully. Boardinghouse. —-In the third term of last year the Board subsidized a school boardinghouse under Mrs. Price to the extent of £1 10s. a week as an experiment. The girls were charged 15s. a week, inclusive of laundry. I regret that the Board found itself unable to undertake the boardinghouse altogether, as 15s. a week was considered an insufficient charge, and our pupils are unable to pay higher fees.

Report of the Board of Governors. I have the honour to submit for your information the Chairman's report on the Hamilton High School for the year ended 31st December, 1912. I think we have every reason to congratulate the Waikato district generally, and the Town of Hamilton particularly, on the satisfactory results of the first year's working of the school. In the matter of the results of the late competitive examinations we cannot but feel proud of the positions secured by a number of the students attending our school, and also on the excellent report on the school furnished by Mr. T. H. Gill, the departmental Inspector. There can be no doubt that these successes are entirely due to the ability and careful teaching of our staff. The popularity of the High School as an educational centre is becoming more pronounced, as is evidenced by the large increase in this year's roll, the figures being—l9l2 average, 97 ; while at present the roll number stands at 145. In consequence of this large increase it has been found necessary to advertise for another assistant master, which appointment will bring the staff up to five. During the year the following improvements have been effected : Installation of heating-apparatus throughout the building ; laying down lawns for girls' croquet and tennis ; ploughing, grassing, and planting in ornamental trees the garden of the present site ; fencing and planting belt of trees round the area granted by the Domain Board ; erection of concrete steps from lawns to front of building. The question of the increased number on the roll emphasizes the desirability of establishing a hostel or boardinghouse for the convenience of students living outside Hamilton. In this connexion the Board some time ago applied to the Department for a grant of some £4,000 for the purpose, and, although the Department expressed themselves as entirely in sympathy with the scheme, they were unable, owing to the financial position of the Dominion, to then entertain the matter. The Board, however, will lose no opportunity of pressing the question with the Government, as they realize that the advantages and success of the school depend so largely on the establishment of such a home. Subject to confirmation by the Minister, arrangements have been concluded by which the Hamilton Domain Board have transferred to the High S3IIOOI Board some 10 acres of land, thus making the total area held by the Board 15 acres, and the site an ideal one for the purpose.

The Board has improved the equipment of the school at considerable expense, and at the commencement of the year tenders ware called for the addition in concrete to the Principal's residence of accommodation for twenty-four boarders. Early in July the buildings were ready for occupation, and twelve pupils took up residence, this number being increased to seventeen in the third term ; and it is now gratifying to know that the accommodation has proved altogether inadequate, and the Board is now arranging for further extensions. Liter in the year it was decided, owing to the increasing attendance, that it was desirable to separate the boys' and girls' schools, and steps were taken to secure a building for the temporary accommodation of the girls pending the erection by the Board of suitable premises, and with the latter object in view steps were taken to secure a primary reserve of 3J acres, suitably situated at Te Henui. It was also decided to open a preparatory department at the commencement of 1913, and Mr. H. C. Fenton was appointed in charge of this department. Mr. W. F U C. Balham was appointed French master, and Mr. D. Hutton drawing master. The course in agriculture has been considerably extended. A portion of the grounds comprising 3 acres has been cleared and ploughed. Experimental work has been carried out under the direction of the Agricultural Department. During the year the cricket-ground was levelled and put'down in'grass, and now compares very favourably with other school-grounds of the Dominion. About the middle of the year Mr. MacDiarmid resigned his position as Chairman and member, after many years' service on the Board, and Mr. Dockrill was appointed Chairman, Mr. G. Grey being appointed to fill the vacant membership. The results of the annual examinations were in every way satisfactory. One pupil gained a Taranaki Sjholarship, thirteen passed Matriculation, twenty-one passed the Junior Civil Service, three passed the Senior Civil Service, five gained Senior Board Scholarships, and one gained a Junior National Scholarship.

Watkin, AJH.S.K. 1. Report op the Board of Governors. The period under review covers the first complete year of the school's occupancy of the new College buildings. In order to exhibit more accurately the financial result of the year's working, the school has been charged with interest on the actual cost to the 31st December, 1911, of buildings and furnishing. The College Account shows that in addition to enjoying the free use of about 70 acres of land, the school during last year benefited from the endowment to the extent of £1,573 Bs. Id. in cash. The Boarding Account is considerably heavier this year. The increase is partly due to improvements it was thought desirable to effect in the bill of fare, and partly to increased wages of the domestic staff rendered necessary mainly by difficulty in procuring a sufficient number of competent workers. Salaries of masters are about £500 more than previous year, which is to some extent owing to the present being the complete year on the increased salaries scale. The income from fees, considering that an additional term was at the new scale of fees, shows less increase than was anticipated, owing to a falling-off in the number of boarders. The number enrolled for the opening term of 1913, which is a record for the school, proves that the falling-off mentioned was merely temporary.

[Appendix.

Owing to local circumstances the Trustees had not considered it advisable during last year to lease the Avenue frontages and other lands forming the old College site, and the Trust has consequently not yet benefited from the enhanced revenue anticipated from this source. The Trustees are confident that in this matter they have acted in the best interests of the estate. In this connexion the Trustees have decided to open for lease such portions of the estate as are now available by the completion of new streets, also to let the valuable Avenue frontages. When these are disposed of the rent revenue will be sufficient to make up the small deficiency shown on last year's operations and also provide sufficient income to pay interest on capital necessary to form new streets required to give access to further areas of the estate that may shortly be leased to advantage. In 1912 the school was thoroughly inspected by Professors yon Zedlitz and Picken, of Victoria University College. These gentlemen have placed a valuable report in the hands of the Trustees dealing not only with the school as it stands, with present staff and equipment, but also containing suggestions as to the future lines of development of the school. Frcm this report the Trustees are satisfied that great progress has been made since the previous inspection held by Professors Maclaurin and yon Zedlitz in 1907. The report includes much detailed criticism, and recommends a policy of progress on modern lines, and it is receiving serious consideration. Meantime the following extracts appear to afford cause for satisfaction :— " In going through the classes and examining the written work we were able to observe that the staff as a body carry out their teaching duties capably and conscientiously, and in some cases the teaching reaches a very high level of ability. Particularly we found the masters interested in their work and keen to improve its quality. The personal example of the headmaster as a teacher is stimulating. The organization of the work as a whole has improved very materially since 1907. " The general impression made upon us by the school, in all its activities, was very good. We saw every part of the new buildings, and were greatly impressed with their suitability and efficiency and with the general artistic effect. Boys are here placed in surroundings that should help greatly towards sound training, and should give them much to look back upon with pride in after-years. The Trustees are reaping the reward of care and forethought, and are to be, heartily congratulated on the admirable success of their plans." Annual Report. (1.) The numbers of the school for the last three years have been — 1912. 1911. 1910. Boarders .. .. 166 166 149 Day boys .. 49 60 51 Total .. .. .. 215 226 200 (2.) The school was inspected in November, 1912, by Professors yon Zedlitz and Picken, of Victoria College, and their report is in the hands of the governing body. It may here be stated that this report is in favour of the former policy of the school —to aim at gaining a sound education rather than obtaining distinctions in public examinations. This year, however, the candidates in the Senior Board Scholarship Examinations did remarkably well, and the University examination results were — Matriculation— 1912. 1911. 1910.

Buildings : The school chapel, the gift of the old boys, has been in use since its dedication by the Bishop of Wellington, on Easter Day, 1912 ; and the benefit to the highest life of the school is great. In the schools block the physics laboratory is being fitted up for use ; otherwise there have been no additions to the buildings, and our immediate needs stand the same as last year—a music school, a fourth boardinghouse, a cricket pavilion, and completion of laboratory furniture. (4.) The health of the school has been good, but additions to the school sanatorium are needed to ensure better isolation of infectious cases. The methods of caring for the teeth are being improved according to the advice of the dentist profession. J. L. Dove, Headmaster. At Easter the new College chapel, the gift of the old boys to the school, was handed over to the Trustees. The chapel cost approximately £6,000, and stands a lasting memorial to the generosity and loyal devotion of the old boys. To all old boys who contributed the Trustees desire to express their gratitude, and in an especial degree to Mr. C. J. Wray, long president of the Old Boys' Association, and to Mr. R. L. Levin, whose zeal and enthusiasm are largely the cause of the result achieved. The beautiful fabric reflects credit on the architect, Mr. W. Gray Young, of Wellington, and on the contractor, Mr. N. Meuli, of Wanganui. The Right Reverend the Bishop of Wellington officiated at the dedication, which took place on Easter Sunday. No alteration has taken place in the personnel of the Board. During part of the year the place of Mr. W. F. Jaccb, absent on a visit to England, was taken by Mr. Aleaxnder Conway, of Cheltenham. At the usual election, held annually, Mr. A. C. Bignell was again chosen to fill the position of Chairman. The secretarial Work of the Trustees continues to be efficiently performed by Mr. J. P. Williamson. A. G. Bignell, Chairman.

Report of the Board of Governors. I have the honour to present the usual annual report on the working of the High School and the Technical School. High School. —The school has been worked with its usual regularity and precision during the year, and there has been no change of teachers with the exception of two additional ones being appointed. The average roll for the year was 221, as against 194 the previous year. The school was examined by the Inspectors appointed by the Government, who verbally expressed their approval to the Rector, but did not forward a written report. I think representations should be made to the Minister of Education to ensure a written report of the year's work being forwarded to the Board, so that it may be in possssion of information as to progress made and improvements required. The Board should also be supplied with a report on the work of each class. The good quality of the year's work is, however, apparent when the final examination returns are considered. They are as follows : One gained Junior University Scholarship (tenth on list) ; one passed same with credit; eleven passed Matriculation ; eighteen passed Junior Civil Service ; thirty-six passed Senior Free Place ; three gained Senior Wanganui Board Scholarship ; three gained Junior Wanganui Board Scholarship :

[Appendix.

total, seventy-three. That seventy-three out of a roll number of 221 should succeed in passing the various examinations so creditably is a proof that the teachers are doing good work, and that the intelligence of the scholars is above the average. The High School proper and the various outbuildings are in excellent order, and the grounds are a credit alike to the institution and the gardener. I would, however, suggest to the Board the advisability of transforming the unsightly gravel-pit into a place of beauty, so as to bring the Rangitikei line frontage into line with the rest of the grounds. An expenditure of £50 would do wonders with this frontage. Baths. —During the year under review very adequate swimming-baths have been erected. The completion of the baths has added still another necessity to an up-to-date school, and the work has been rendered possible by the splendid generosity of the parents and others interested in the progress of the school. Girls' School. —l regret that the negotiations for the acquirement of 5 acres of land in Grey Street for a site to establish a girls' school have come to an abrupt conclusion, owing to the fact that the land is set aside for primary education. I trust that during the coming year some arrangement will be made with the Department to transfer the land for the purposes of secondary education. The question of how this matter is to be placed before Parliament is worthy of consideration at an early date. College House. —The boarding establishment is becoming more and more popular, the average for last year being thirty-five, as against twenty-one for the previous year. The question of finally arranging for the acquirement of these buildings, and their further extension to meet present requirements, will soon have to be considered and dealt with. Funds. —The funds of the High School are in a healthy condition, and when all the year's capitation is received there will be sufficient to pay all liabilities, including the balance owing on the swimming-bath. Permission has been given the Rector to take an extended holiday in the United Kingdom, leaving in the month of March, and Mr. Murray has been appointed Acting-Rector during his absence. Mr. Foote, first assistant since the establishment of the school, secured an appointment as Rector of the Gisborne High School, and his retirement necessitated the advancement of Mr. Murray to first assistant, and the appointment of a second assistant as science master. 2.

GISBORNE HIGH SCHOOL. Staff. Mr. A. R. Gatland, B.A. ; Mr. F. J. Wilkes, M.A. ; Mr. H. W. Mayo, 8.A.. B.Sc. ; Mr. G. F. Maunder, M.Sc. j Miss L. Wilson j Miss M. Harding : Miss M. Higgcns : Mr. D. Menzies. 1. Report op the Board of Governors. In the early part of the year the roll number was sixty-four boys, forty-five girls, and junior class nine boys. This attendance was not well maintained, as, owing to the great demand for young people in business houses, a number left before the close of the year, the final roll being —fifty-two boys, thirtyseven girls ; junior class, eight boys and four girls. Our experience goes to show that at least fifty per cent, of the pupils leave at the end of the first year, and only about twenty per cent, remain until the end of the third or fourth year. It is to be regretted that parents cannot be induced to keep their children at school for a longer period in order that they may get a greater benefit from secondary education. Scholarships as follows were held by pupils in attendance at the school: two Junior National, three Senior Board, and seven Junior Board. The reports on all were satisfactory. There were several alterations of the staff during the year. Messrs. Murdoch and Penlington having resigned, Messrs. J. D. Davey and H. Comes were appointed to fill their places, and these again resigned before the close of the year. Mr.* Mayo, a recent arrival from England, was in September appointed temporary assistant for the balance of the year. In November Mr. Gatland asked to be relieved of his position. His request was granted, and he was offered the post of mathematical master, which he accepted. Applications were invited for his successor, and Mr. Frank Foote, 8.A., B.Sc. first assistant of Palmerston North High Sohool. was selected to filljjthe vacancy from the Ist February. 1913. The attendance at the boardinghouse was disappointing, especially in view of the fact that. anticipating a continuance of the number of boarders who' were in residence the previous year, increased accommodation was provided. The Board hopes, however, that when the settlers come to realize that as good an education can be obtained in Gisborne as elsewhere they will send their children to our school. During the coming year the Board expect to be able to make considerable improvements to the fences and grounds. The railway time-table does not help us in any way ; the first train does not arrive in town until 11 a.m. If a trainjwere tojarrive at 9 a.m. we believe a considerable number of country children would attend. At the examinations held at the close of the year, pupils from the school were very successful. One boy gained seventh place in the Junior University Scholarship, and fifth in the Junior Civil Service ; one gained Matriculation on scholarship papers, ten passed Matriculation Examination, four Junior Civil S'rvice, six passed Board Smior Scholarship, fifteen gained Smior Free Places on recommendation, and one by examination, eight passed Board Junior Scholarships, one Junior Free Place Examination, while four pupils in the preparatory class gained proficiency certificates. The sohool was inspected towards the close of the year by the Inspector-General, who expressed himself favourably on the work being done and the efficiency of the school and staff. E. H.

DANNEVIRKE HIGH SCHOOL. Staff. Mr. J. M. Summers, M.A. : Miss D. R. Robertson. M.A. ; Miss 1). Hueston ; Mr. A. J. Papps, B.A. ; Mr. J. Johnson. 1. Report of the Board of Governors. The Governors of the Dannevirke High School have the honour to present their seventh annual report, and they are pleased to state that the school continues to be carried on efficiently. The total number on the roll for the year was 116, being 62 boys and 54 girls, and the average attendance was 94-4, being 50-4 boys and 44 girls. The ordinary secondary school subjects have been taught, and special attention given to science and agriculture. In the public examinations the pupils have again done great credit to the school, one securing a Senior National Scholarship, and another heading the Hawke's Bay Senior Scholarship list. Six pupils passed the Matriculation and Solicitors' General Knowledge Examinations, three of these passing the Medical Preliminary as well ; while one passed Matriculation on scholarship papers. Four pupils gained Senior Education Board Scholarships ; two pupils gained Education Board Junior Scholarships ; eighteen pupils passed Civil Service Junior Examinations, three with credit ; and one the Senior Free Place Examination. The interest in school games has been well maintained. Owing to the increased attendance it has been found necessary to arrange for increasing the staff by an additional male teacher, and also to erect an additional class-room, which will be finished by the time the school is opened next year.

I beg to submit the following report on the working of the Marlborough High School for the year 1912 :— The roll number remains fairly constant, the total being 120, of whom sixty-eight were boys. Of forty-nine pupils admitted during the year, thirty-two were boys. On the other hand, a greater number of boys than of girls leave during the year. This is no doubt owing to the great demand for boy labour on the farm and in the office. Early in the year the school suffered a severe loss through the resignation of Miss Ross, M.A., an energetic and capable teacher who had been with us for nine years. After Miss Boss left, Miss J. M. Butler, M.A., wos appointed to the staff. Hyg'ene has been added to the subjects studied by the girls ; and a senior class has been formed in agriculture. The number of pupils taking agriculture, though not large, is satisfactory in proportion to the total roll, and the majority of the students show keen interest in their work. It is one of the functions of an educational institution not merely to supply a demand, but to create a demand wh -re none exists, and there appears little doubt that these classes will increase in popularity. The finances of the Board are still suffering from the strain caused by the expenditure on. necessary additions to the building, and it is able to carry on successfully only by the strictest economy in administration, an economy amounting almost to parsimony.

Report of the Board of Governors. During the year the term of office of three members of the Council expired—namely, Mr. Cock, Mr. Fell, and Mr. Hamilton. His Excellency the Governor, as Visitor, has reappointed them for a further term. Buildings. —The new science laboratories in connexion with the Boys' College, mentioned in our last report, are now completed, and will shortly be fully equipped and ready for use lor the coming year, 1913. At the Girls' College a large laboratory is being erected, mainly for the teaching of domestic science, and will be ready early in the first term of 1913. Minor improvements have been effected by the provision of a covered way connecting the main building with the gymnasium, cookery-ioom, and new laboratory. Pupils. —-The roll at both colleges last year constitutes a record, the average number of boys in attendance being 225, and the average number of boarders 105. The average attendance at the Girls' College was 169, and the average number of boarders 41. The Inspectors' reports, and the results of the public examinations, were very satisfactory. The general health of the pupils at both colleges continues excellent. The Governors desire to express their appreciation of a donation from the Nelson College Old Boys' Association, which will be devoted to providing two fives-courts at the Boys' College. The delay that has occurred in making a commencement with these courts has resulted from a difficulty in obtaining exact measurements and specifications, but it is hoped that the work of construction will soon be in hand. The Governors have also to acknowledge, with thanks, the recejition of two memorial tablets from the relatives of the late F. Pogson and the Old Boys' Association respectively. These tablets have been erected in the assembly hall to the memory of the late Frederick L. Pogson and George Leece. The Staff. —Boys' College : Mr. A. Robinson, M.A., joined the staff in October, taking the place of Mr. C. H. McKay. Girls' College : Mrs. Hamilton succeeded Mrs. Satchell as Matron. Miss Garland, M.A., filled the position vacated by Miss Hind, who in February joined the staff of the Wellington Girls' College. Miss Saxon, M.A., acted as relieving teacher from the Ist April, Miss Kirton having been granted nine months' leave of absence in order to visit England. Towards the end of the year came the lamentable news of her death there. In December Miss Baxter accepted a position in the Christchurch Girls' High School. The vacancies thus caused were filled by the promotion of the senior members of the staff, and the appointment of Miss Isaac, M.A., and of Miss Saxon to junior positions. Mr. Cockburn took the drawing classes during Miss Igglesden's absence on sick-leave. Examinations. —-Boys' College : Highly satisfactory results were obtained in the public examinations held during the year. Of eight candidates who sat for University Entrance Scholarships, two gained scholarships, three obtained " credit," and three qualified for matriculation. Eleven passed the Matriculation Examination, ten of them the Solicitors' General also, and nine the Medical Preliminary. The Intermediate for Senior Free Places was passed by forty candidates, and six were granted a Junior Free Place for a third year. Twenty passed the Junior Civil Service, six of them with credit. One boy passed in all subjects for the Senior Civil Service, and two passed in four subjects. The preparatory department, though small in numbers, continues to do well.

Report of the Board of Governors. During the past year this school has enhanced its reputation for successful work —-indeed, it is questionable if any secondary school in the Dominion can show better results, if a calculation is made on an attendance basis. The attendance last year reached 107 —a satisfactory increase. For the Matriculation Examination nine sat and seven passed. For the Junior Civil Service Examination sixteen sat and all passed —eight in the merit list, and one pupil second for the whole Dominion. For the Senior Free Place Examination seventeen pupils were successful. The High School Territorial Cadets have been commended for efficiency, and their marksmanship has been proved by the excellent score made when they won the " Victory " shield for the second time.

The agricultural work at the school has been very successful, and has been commended by the officers of the Agricultural Department. At the last winter show of the Northern Agricultural and Pastoral Association, exhibits from the school gained several first prizes. As it is intended to make this branch of secondary education a prominent feature, the Board has recently purchased a piece of land adjacent to the school for this purpose. The Technical School, now under the control of the High School Board, is doing satisfactory work. Classes are held in Rangiora and at centres served by the railway. The subjects taken are wool - classing, cookery, woodwork, typewriting, shorthand, painting, millinery, dressmaking, architectural drawing, &c. Robert Ball, Chairman. 2.

Report of the Headmaster. The roll at the beginning of the first term was 192 (main school) and 7 (preparatory class) ; second term, 183 (main school) and 9 (preparatory); third term, 184 (main school) and 11 (preparatory). The number of Junior Free Place holders is ninety, and of Senior Free Place holders fifty-two. The number of paying pupils is fifty. The number of boys taking Latin in the Main School is 143 ; the number taking both Latin and French is 124 ; those not taking Latin number thirty-nine. These latter take commercial work and workshop in place of Latin. Drawing or history is alternative to French ; history is also taken by eight boys in place of either mechanics or chemistry. The following were the results of the examinations for December, 1911 : One boy obtained a Junior University Scholarship, being second on the list; another obtained a Smior National Scholarship ; two were placed on the credit list, one of whom won a Military Scholarship and was afterwards offered a National Scholarship ; two qualified for Matriculation on the Junior Scholarship papers, and ten others on the Matriculation papers. Fiftyfour boys sat for Junior Civil Service or Education Board Senior Scholarship or Senior Free Place Examinations, and thirty-eight passed ; three of these won Senior Education Board Scholarships. In December, 1912, there were four candidates for Medical Preliminary and one for Engineering Preliminary, and eighteen candidates for ordinary Matriculation. For Junior University Scholarships there -were nine candidates. Among old boys' distinctions were the following : C. S. Marshall won the Bowen Essay and Haydon Essay prize ; G. H. Robertson a Senior University Scholarship in zoology ; H. Rands, W. S. Wauchop, J. D. Davey, D. J. B. Seymour obtained their M.A. degree with honours ; W. D. Campbell, A. Donnelly, and H.

Mr. T. Cane finally left the school in December, 1911, and Mr. R. H. Biggar, a senior scholar ol New Zealand University, filled the vacancy. The gymnasium and the cadets were both placed under Lieutenant. Hoar, and this arrangement will prove satisfactory. A school suit has been adopted ; and most boys will soon be wearing it. The cadets have adopted the new Government uniform, which, with the school colours on hat and stockings, looks smart and workmanlike. Teams from the cadets won the Snow Shield and the Ferguson Cup. Shooting has been taken up keenly. An Old Boys' Association has. been founded and has been warmly taken up ; there are now some 450 members. A home-work time-table to be initialled each evening by parents has been adopted this year. It is hoped that by this parents will be able to better co-operate with masters, and masters avoid mistakes in judging of boys' work. As by the new Matriculation and Junior Civil Service Regulations, practical physics became compulsory on all boys taking science, it was imperative to build two new laboratories. An addition was accordingly planned for the school, which will give us these, and will also greatly improve the present school by giving us better access to the present western wing, more cloak-room accommodation, more locker room, better heating, better lighting for the basement, a monitor's room, &c. The contract, for £4,600, has just been let. C. E. Bevan-Brown. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes. Highest. —Latin —Livy, Book XXI ; Horace, Odes.

The roll for the year was 278 ; the term numbers were 270, 266, and 253 ; but of the average roll of 263 the average attendance was 245— i.e., 93 per cent, of the roll. This fact testifies in itself to the excellent health enjoyed by the pupils. In the main school there were only six pupils paying fees ; seventy-nine held Senior Free Places ; 177 Junior Free Places ; one a school free place. There were fifteen pupils in the preparatory department, all paying fees. There were more changes of staff teachers than usual. At the beginning of the year Miss Jane Black, Mus. Bae. N.Z., L.A.8., R.A.M., R.C.M., and formerly a pupil of the school, was appointed as teacher of class singing in place of Miss Nora Gardiner (resigned). Miss C. K. Henderson, 8.A., who has been a member of the teaching staff for twenty-seven years, and first assistant for the past twentyfour years, resigned her position at the close of the year. Her retiring from the teaching profession is a distinct loss to educational interests in general as well as to this school in. particular. Miss Annie

Rennie. who has had charge of the cookery classes for nine years, also left, to take up the appointment of instructress in cookery and domestic science at the Wellington Technical School, and the rearrangement of work necessitated dispensing with the services of Miss Alice Partridge, for three years teacheT of plain sewing at the school. In place of these two part-time visiting teachers, a full-time assistant, Miss Ethel Burns, a former pupil of the school, has been appointed as teacher of cookery, domestic science, and needlework. A general inspection of the school was made in October by Dr. Anderson and Mr. T. H. Gill. They also held a preliminary test examination of junior free pupils whose terms expired at the close of the year and who wished to qualify for Senior Free Places. Fifty candidates presented themselves : thirtyfour were awarded Senior Free Places without further examination, sixteen were required to take the regular public examination or some part of it, and eight of these subsequently passed. The technical classes were inspected during the same month by Mr. Isaac, and Mr. William Brock, the Chief Inspector of the North Canterbury Education District, examined the Sixth Standard pupils of the preparatory class. All seven of these received proficiency certificates and passed into the main school. At the December public examinations Wilberfield Gunn matriculated in the credit-list of the University Entrance Scholarship Examination, and gained a place entitling her to one of the two Gammack Scholarships of the year. Eleven pupils passed the Matriculation Examination. There were twentysix candidates for the Junior Civil Service Examination, of whom twenty-three passed, eleven being placed in the credit list. Six pupils gained Senior Education Board Scholarships, but as two of these had also gained a Junior National Scholarship and a Junior National Scholarship extension respectively, these were taken in preference by them. A pupil of the school cooking class gained a first-class pass at the local examination conducted by the London City and Guilds Technical Examination Board. Seven pupils in all were in residence at the authorized school boardinghouse : their health was very good all the year. In November a beginning was made- upon a much-needed enlargement of the school building, which is being extended along the Montreal Street frontage. This extension will contain five new class-rooms on the first and second floors, and on a third floor two large rooms specially fitted up for cookery and sewing and dressmaking classes. These have been very badly needed for many years. The following distinctions were gained during the year by past pupils : Jessie Scott (M.B. Ch.B.. 1909). degree of Doctor of Medicine. Edinburgh University, her thesis being " A Study of Pigmentation in relation to Disease in Children " ; Lydia Suckling, degree of M.A., University of New Zealand, with second-class honours in natural science (botany) ; Julia Pegg and Catherine Reynolds, degree of 8.A.. University of New Zealand ;■ and Elizabeth Harvey, exhibition in biology, Canterbury College. The keen annual demand for successful candidates in the Matriculation Examination to fill positions as pupil-teachers in the primary schools of the city and suburbs still continues to rob the school of much suitable material for Sixth Form work, and keeps the two upper forms disproportionately and undesirably small. There were this year only three genuine S'xth Form pupils, and only one candidate for the University Entrance Scholarship Examination. Such a small Sixth Form is not economical to work, nor is it good for so large a school to be so badly supplied with the elder girls, whose good example and influence upon the younger and newer pupils is of great importance and assistance in maintaining a good tone in all departments. It also seems a pity that from a secondary school of over 270 pupils there should not be a single pupil this year proceeding directly from the school to a University college. A break of two years between a high school and a University course is economically bad, and must lower the standard of proficiency of the University college students. The system of appointing probationers tends to still further increase this evil by inducing promising pupils who wish ultimately to become teachers to leave the secondary school at a still earlier stage.

The annual report was read by the acting-headmaster. Mr. A. E. Flower. This stated that the newly-arrived cricket coach and groundsman was doing excellent work. The football-ground had been utilized for cricket, and much good resulted. The Defence Department had loaned the cadet ■ two big gnus, which would be of use in the future. On the scholastic side the record said that at Cambridge N. M. Bell was placed high in the first class of the classical tripos. L. B. T. Wood was placed in the third class of the engineering tripos. At Edinburgh -I. if. Murray passed the M.B. Ch.B. examination, while P. MacCallum gained firstclass honours in several subjects in his second dilutions. In the University of New Zealand A. C. Tytheridge gained tin' M.A. degree, with first-class honours in modern languages; N. Al. P. Gibson his M.A., with third class in mental science ; J. G. Denniston and J. A. Gordon gained the B.A. degree, while A. C. Purchas, -I. E\ 1). White, and H. V. Rowe passed the first section. J. D. Godfrey, A. L. Rowe, and D. S. Murchison passed the first section of the LL.B. examination. C. Staveley passed the examination for the membership of the Institute of Civil Engineers, and F. L. Davie the examination for the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors. T. S. Foster had been appointed the Principal of the Normal Training College, and Lecturer on Education at Canterbury College. T. W. Rowe had been appointed Lecturer in Law at Canterbury College, while A. B. Charters had been appointed Inspector under the Wellington Education Board. In the December University examinations L. 1). Cotterill, G. Al. Barnett and C. W. Free were placed on the credit list in the Junior Scholarship Examinations, the two former being subsecpiently offered scholarships ; R. J. Richards, J. H. Wanklyn, B. P. Hopkins, R. E. Barnett and F. L. Kimbell passed the Matriculation and associated examinations, while A. H. Carrington secured admission to the Military College in Australia. Their representatives at this College had completed their second year's course there with credit. The examination work this year had been distributed amongst the staff, so that no man examined his own form except in divinity and science, where it was unavoidable. The results were satisfactory considering the circumstances, but have further served to emphasize the fact that more forms and more teachers are required, especially in the lower part of the school. The work of the lower school was very satisfactory in the upper part of each form, but owing to the number of divisions necessary it was difficult to secure 1 uniform results. He desired to acknowledge the great debt owed to the Very Reverend the Sub-Warden, and to Canon Carrington, for their assistance in carrying on the chapel services on Sundays, and to express to the whole id' the staff his gratitude for the ready and loyal assistance given during the year. 2.

The personnel of the Board is as follows : Mr. Joshua Tucker (Chairman), His Worship the Mayor (Henry Davis, Esq.), and Messrs. C. Reid, W. B. Denshire, W. H. Collins, Hugo Friedlander. and W. T. Lill. The Board held seventeen meetings, the average attendance being five. The school roll, while not so large as in the previous year, was well maintained, the total enrolment being 115 —sixty-two boys and fifty-three girls. The number of new pupils entered was forty-seven —twenty-nine boys and eighteen girls. The number of fee-paying pupils was four. There were in attendance seven scholarship-holders (one Senior Board, five Junior Board, and one Junior National). Mr. A. H. R.

Miss Kershaw was absent on holiday in Europe from the beginning of March, her duties being efficiently carried out by Miss Bentham, M.A. The work of the school has gone on smoothly and efficiently throughout the year, and we believe that the staff and pupils are animated by a desire to raise their school to the level of the best schools in the Dominion. The various courses have been maintained as usual, and the agricultural course is now extended by the carrying-out of co-operative experiments in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture. For this purpose a half-acre of land opposite the school has been leased from the Borough Council. It is hoped that if the Government accept the offer of the Board of its reserve in Hampstead for the purposes of an experimental farm, such a training in practical agriculture will be secured for the pupils of the school as to make this subject the most important of the school course, and to prove of great advantage to the farming interests of this community. The various school athletic clubs and institutions have had a prosperous career ; the cadet corps was highly praised by the Officer Commanding District on his recent visit, and the shooting of the corps has reached a higher standard than ever before. The new swimming-bath is a complete success, and it is hoped that no pupil will now pass out of the school without being able to swim or to help in lifesaving. A new stable has been erected for pupils who ride to school. By the payment of £150 to the Technical Classes Board of Managers, the Board resumed possession of the old school building, one of the rooms of which it intends to convert into a gymnasium, which will be available for use early next year. Another room will be converted into a girls' lunch eon-room. The Board has still further improved the school-grounds, which are gradually assuming a very ornamental appearance. The examination of the pupils by Mr. Gill in September was highly satisfactory, all but three of the candidates qualifying for the Senior Free Place test. In the various public examinations one candidate gained a Senior National Scholarship : one passed the University Entrance Scholarship Examination with credit, and was awarded a Gammack Scholarship tenable for three years at Canterbury College ; four passed Matriculation on the University Scholarship Examination; three passed Matriculation : two gained Senior Education Board Scholarships, being third and fifth on the list respectively ; fifteen passed the Junior Civil Service Examination, two with credit; thirteen were, awarded Senior Free Places, and one had the Junior Free Place extended for one year.

Apart from the Senior Free Places gained, five passed Junior Civil S3rvice, one gained a Senior Education Board Scholarship, and seven out of eight candidates passed Matriculation. At the Boys' School the results of the last annual examinations were very satisfactory. Fourteen boys matriculated, two gaining University Scholarships, while four others gained credit passes. All seventeen candidates presented for Junior Civil Service competition passed, eight of them with credit. D. Sutherland, Chairman.

In compliance with your Department's circular of. the 3rd December last, I have the honour to forward the following general report of the schools for the year ending the 31st December, 1912. The average attendance at the schools for the year was 299 at the boys' and 168 at the girls'. The record of the work of the schools for the year, has been of a very satisfactory character. The Department's Inspectors, Dr. Anderson and Mr. Gill, visited the schools towards the end of the year and also reported most favourably thereon. In reference to the Inspectors' comments in this report as to the lack of facilities for teaching domestic science, I may say that the Principal reports that only two pupils in attendance at present have signified their desire to take up the course if it were available. Miss F. M. Allan, Acting-Principal of the Girls' School during the first term of 1912, was appointed Principal at the beginning of the second term, and in this position has given every satisfaction. Her record for the year has proved to the Board the wisdom of the promotion. Miss H. Alexander, who as Vice-Principal gave Miss Allan valuable assistance in the management of the school, retired on superannuation at the end of the school year. Miss Alexander has been a conscientious and indefatigable teacher in the Board's service for over eighteen years. It is with deep regret I have to record the untimely death of Miss N. M. Campbell after a short illness. Miss Campbell was an excellent teacher, and her death caused great grief to all connected with the school. With the exception of an additional master appointed at the beginning of the year, the staff of the Boys' School remains the same as in the previous year.

A janitor's house has been erected at the Girls" School, and the improvement of the grounds has not been overlooked. Considerable repairs of an urgent nature have been carried out at the Boys' School. A pound-for-pound subsidy having been granted by your Department for the erection of a science laboratory at the Boys' Sjhool, I am pleased to say that the building is now under construction, and its completion in about six months' time is anticipated. A grant for fittings and furniture will be required, and an application for the same will be made in due course. Thomas Fergus, Chairman. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes. Boys' School.

The Board has to report that the High School commenced the year with roll of 89, as compared with 71 at beginning of 1911. The average for the year was 140. There has been change in the staff during the year by the appointment of Miss J. Kennedy to fill the place of Miss G. Cameron, M.Sc, whose resignation was received with regret by the Board. The staff has also been increased by the appointment of Mr. C. McCarthy as commercial master. The Board is well satisfied with the work of both staff and pupils. We were unable to start an agricultural course, but we believe sufficient enrolment will justify us in doing so next year.

The Board has arranged at the breaking-up of the school to have the sports-ground drained, levelled, and grassed ; also for asphalting the assembling-ground and the formation of an asphalt tennis-court for the girls, at a total cost of about £150. The most important matter for the near future is the providing of boarding-accommodation. During the summer months some twenty pupils are boarding in various parts of the town : during winter this number is increased. The advantages would be great if the whole of those whose homes are distant from the school could be provided with accommodation in one building under the supervision of those who are concerned in the welfare of the pupils and the school. It would also desirably limit the number of those who now travel daily by train, and unquestionably more parents would take advantage of the High School privileges if only they were sure of such supervision when their sons and daughters were away from home. Tin- problem with the Board is one of money. The duties of the Board have been made pleasant by reason of the willing co-operation of both the sfaff and the Department. G. Hervey, Chairman. 2.

In accordance with the provisions of section 98 of the Education Act, 1908, the Southland High Schools Board of Governors has pleasure in placing before the Minister of Education the following brief summary of its proceedings for the year ended 31st December, 1912 : — The Board. —The personnel of the Board as at present constituted as as follows : Mr. W. Macalister, 8.A., LL.B. (Chairman), His Worship the Mayor of Invercargill (Mr. W. B. Scandrett), and Messrs. R. A. Anderson, A. F. Hawke, and J. Crosby Smith, F.L.S. Of the membership, Messrs. Macalister and Smith represent the Southland Education Board, Messrs. Anderson and Hawke being appointed as representatives of the Government. The Board held nine meetings during the year for the transaction of ordinary and special business, the attendance of members at which was quite satisfactory. The Board is gratified to be able to report another year's successful operations. Teaching Staffs. —In the Boys' School the staff has undergone no change during the year, while in the Girls' School the only change was the appointment of Miss I. Laycock (Otago University) to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss A. M. Griffin, who retired from her position after some years of useful and acceptable service. Attendance. —The attendance at the Boys' School showed an increase—the total enrolment being 179, of whom eighty-five were new boys—and this notwithstanding the fact that another institution (the day Technical College, under the jurisdiction of the Southland Education Board) was established early in the year. The Board is pleased to be able to report that the experience of the pas year has shown that two such institutions as the Boys' High School and the day Technical College have each a sphere of educational influence and activity in which they may operate for the good of the whole community. Inspection. —-The schools were visited by Secondary Inspectors Dr. Anderson and Mr. T. H. Gill, M. A., in the month of September last, and their reports of the work done during the year and the general management of the schools were distinctly favourable.

[Appendix.

Successes of Pupils. —Boys' School : At the recently held examinations the following distinctions were credited to pupils : L. Bennet gained a Junior University Scholarship ; sixteen passed Mat riculation, nineteen the Junior Civil Service, and two the Senior Civil Service Examinations. Three out of five Education Board Senior Scholarships were gained by pupils. Among old boys, Fred Miles won the Rhodes Scholarship; M. Alexander the Research Scholarship at Victoria College; Dr. E. Lindsay gained his F.R.C.S. diploma; D. Anderson the open scholarship at Lincoln Agricultural College ; H. Fraser and W. Cody, Beverly Scholarships at Otago University ; and the Hon. J. A. Hanan held the portfolios of Education and Justice during the first session of 1912. Girls' School. —-During the year the maximum number on the roll was 156, the average attendance being 143, which was somewhat lower in proportion than usual owing to the prevalence of measles and influenza. At the annual examinations of 1912, one candidate passed the Junior University Scholarship Examination, five qualified for Matriculation, three others passing in five subjects but not in mathematics. Nineteen passed the Junior Civil Service Examination, three with credit, two gaining Senior Board Scholarships. Five more were accredited with passes on the supplementary list issued later on in the year. At the January examinations for Class D teachers' certificate, of the five candidates from the Girls' High School two passed in full, while three gained a partial pass, having failed in one subject only. At the annual visit of the Secondary Inspectors, Dr. Anderson and Mr. T. H. Gill, thirty-two pupils were admitted to Senior Free Places. Girls' School Hostel. —The question of the erection of a Girls' School hostel, an institution designed to serve the double purpose of providing a home where country pupils attending the school might be safely and comfortably lodged, and where at the same time they (and other pupils able to live at home) might receive a practical training in domestic science and hygiene, has engaged the serious attention of the Board for many months past. All the members are thoroughly convinced of the utility—yea, absolute necessity—-for the establishment of such an institution. A Government grant of £3,000 has been promised towards cost of the erection of a suitable building, and an excellent site of 6J aces at Eastend on which to erect the building has been secured at a cost of about £1,700. The difficulty is one of finance. The Board, after mature consideration of sketch-plans (with estimate of cost) prepared by its Architect, has not seen its way to undertake the whole scheme of providing the accommodation necessary for the establishment of the combined institution. It is probable that a section of the proposed building—to provide boarding-accommodation for thirty or forty scholars—may be proceeded with at a cost within the means of the Board. Boys' School. —-In connexion with the Boys' School, the Board, having in view future developments has secured an excellent piece of land —15J acres—on the Collegiate Reserve at Gladstone as a site on which a modern and well-equipped school for boys may be erected, and a proper sports and recreation ground laid out. With an asset such as the present Boys' School and grounds, situate in the centre of the city, available for realization, the establishment at Gladstone of a modern school for boys is quite within the bounds of possibility in the near future. School Buildings. —-The buildings and grounds are in excellent order, and each of the schools well equipped with all necessary furniture and apparatus for carrying on their important work successfully. Financial. —A perusal of the Board's balance-sheet for the past year, and the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, gives satisfactory evidence of the soundness of its financial position. Copies of the Principals' reports for the past year, with which is incorporated the prospectus for 1913, are sent herewith. All departmental returns for the past year have already been transmitted to your Department. W. Macalister, Chairman. John Neill, Secretary. 2. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes. Boys' School.
