1. EXTRACT FROM THE THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION.
SECONDARY EDUCATION. Number of Schools. Secondary education was carried on at secondary schools, district high schools, day technical, schools, Maori secondary schools, and private secondary schools. The secondary schools may be classified as follows :— (a.) " Endowed secondary schools " within the meaning of section 89 of the Education Act, 1908, and included in the Eighth Schedule to the Act 27* (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 ... ... ... ... ... ... 33 * One separate departmont for girls regarded as a separate school. Of the endowed secondary schools only twenty-three 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. The number of district high schools was i?ixty, day technical schools eight, and Maori secondary schools ten. In addition there were a number of private secondary schools, thirteen of which were inspected by the Department's Inspectors. With the passing of the Education Act, 1914, day technical schools will be called technical high schools. ,> Roll and Attendance. The total number of pupils attending the; twenty-nine secondary schools in the last terms of 1913 and 1914 respectively was — , 1913.-- , — 1914. , Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. Girls. Total.

It will thus be seen that the number receiving secondary education during 1914 shows a slight increase over that for the previous year. 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 is 98 per 10,000 of population, as compared with 93 for the previous year. Schemes oe Control of Secondary Schools. Section 89 of the Education Act, 1914, which secures to Education Boards and parents of pupils representation on the Boards of Governors of certain secondary schools, for which such provision had not previously been made, and section 90, which determines fully the constitution of the governing bodies of certain, other secondary schools, necessitated the revision of the schemes of control in these cases or the drawing-up of new schemes where none had existed before. Under section 92 of the Act schemes for nineteen secondary schools in all were submitted to the Council of Education, and, on the recommendation of that body, received Ministerial approval and were gazetted. Provisions were included in the schemes, in accordance with the Act, dealing with courses of study, fees, the respective powers of the governing body and the principal, and other matters. 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, or, under somewhat different conditions, at technical schools. Generally speaking, junior free places are tenable for two years, with a possible extension in certain cases to three years. In the case of their being held at district high, schools they are tenable to the age of seventeen. The qualifications are a certificate of proficiency, or a junior scholarship, or special Junior Free Place Examination. Senior free places may be obtained on passing the Intermediate Examination, or without external examination after the satisfactory completion of a two-years secondary course, on the recommendation of the principal of the school attended, to which the Director of Education concurs. The latter form of qualification is becoming increasingly applicable, there being 791 cases of complete
E.—6

exemption from examination and 33 cases of partial exemption in 1914. Senior free places in secondary schools, district high schools, and technical high schools are tenable up to the age of nineteen. To technical schools other than technical high schools this age-limit does not apply. The following are some of the figures for 1913 and 1914 in regard to free places in secondary schools : — 1913. 1914. Number of secondary schools giving free tuition .. 30 30 *Total roll number, excluding lower departments .. 5,803 6,056 Number of free-place holders .. .. .. 4,592 5,061 Free-place holders as a percentage of roll number . . 79 per cent. 84 per cent.

Od. * The total roll of all secondary schools is taken, including Wanganui Boys' and Girls' Collcgos and Christ's College, but these throe schools aro not included in the number of secondary schools giving free tuition during 1914. Wanganui Girls' College will be open to free-place holders as from the beginning of the current year. It will thus be seen that there are now very few pupils—only 16 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 is more than three times as great. In order to arrive at the total number of pupils in New Zealand receiving free secondary instruction it will be necessary, however, to include also 171 holders of scholarships or exhibitions carrying free instruction not otherwise enumerated, which are granted by the secondary schools included abeve or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions for free places, 2,100 pupils in attendance at district high schools, almost all. of whom were free pupils, 107 Maori pupils receiving free education, in Maori secondary schools, and 1,674 holders of free places in day technical schools. Consequently, there are approximately 8,942 pupils receiving free secondary education in the Dominion, exclusive of those holders of free places in technical schools (mostly evening students) who, while not taking full day courses, were nevertheless receiving free education of secondary grade. 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, 1913 and 1914. , 1.91.3. , ( 1914. . „ (i.)

These scholarships are of four kinds, — (i.) 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.) National Scholarships. Junior National Scholarships have up to the present been allotted to the several education districts practically on the basis of population, as in each district there has been offered annually one scholarship for each 4,000 or part of 4,000 children

in average yearly attendance at public schools. 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. Under the Education Act, 1914, and regulations issued under its authority, the arrangements for scholarships have been|remodelled. Junior and Senior National Scholarships, to be awarded under a national scheme, replace the older Junior National and the Education Board Junior Scholarships and the Education Board Senior Scholarships respectively. The University Entrance Scholarships, which have hitherto been called Senior National Scholarships, will in future be known, in accordance with the University Amendment Act, 1914, as University National Scholarships. Under the scheme thus introduced junior and senior scholarships, in the proportion of nine to five, are to be awarded, the standard of qualification in any year for the respective grades being determined beforehand in such manner as approximately to provide one scholarship for every five hundred in yearly average attendance. For pupils of schools below Grade 111 a slightly lower standard is to be provided: The qualifications of candidates for Junior National Scholarships will be tested in an examination of somewhat greater difficulty than the certificate of proficiency examination. For the testing of the qualifications of applicants for the new Senior National Scholarships there will be, alternative to the examination based on. the Public Service Entrance Examination, an examination of equal difficulty provided to suit the needs of those candidates who are being instructed on the lines of the rural or domestic courses now adopted in many schools. The following summary to Table L 4, showing the number and value of Junior National Scholarships current in December, 1913, and December, 1914, respectively, deals only with the Junior National Scholarships of the older conditions. The first award of scholarships under the new conditions will be made as from the beginning of next year : — Number of scholarships,— 1913. 1914.

The scholarship funds of the Boards have for many years up to the present been provided by grants which amounted to Is. 6d. per head of the average attendance. The conditions of the scholarships have been 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 have now for some years used the Junior National Scholarship Examination, and for their senior scholarships the Intermediate Examination as arranged for scholarship candidates ; but the awards themselves and the subsequent control of the holders have been entirely in the hands of the Boards. The number and the 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, as follows : — Scholarships. At £40 per annum . . .. . . .. .. . . 118 At £35 per annum .. .. . . .. .. .. 5 At £33 per annum .. .. .. .. .. .. 3 At £30 per annum .. .. .. .. .. 50 Under £30 and. not under £20 per annum .. .. 14 Under £20 and not under £10 per annum .. . . .. 239 Under £10 and not under £5 per annum .. . . .. .. 159 Under £5 per annum .. .. . . .. .. 38 Total .. .. .. .. .. ..626

In five out of the thirteen education districts scholarships of the value of £40 have been offered for competition, while in another the highest scholarship offered was of the value of £24. Further, four Boards did not give scholarships of a lower value than £10 per annum, whereas others offered scholarships of a value of £2 10s. In general, holders of Education Board scholarships are also, in virtue of their scholarship qualifications, holders of secondary free places. Future awards of junior and senior scholarships will entitle the holders to receive, in addition to free places, the sums of £5 and £10 a year respectively, in addition to a lodging-allowance of £35 a year if they are required to live away from home to prosecute their studies at the secondary school, or its equivalent, which is approved by the Minister for the purpose. The Board scholars-hips current will gradually disappear until they are entirely replaced by national scholarships. (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. 'f. The number of foundation and private scholarships in the last term of 1914 was 198. Of the holders, forty-five were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total annual value of the scholarships in cash was £826. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and private scholarships to the value of £1,858 19s. Bd., 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:— , 1912. . , 1913. , , 1914. , M. F.

The head teacher of a district high, school generally takes some part in the secondary instruction, and receives from the Government the sum of £30 in addition to the salary he would receive as head teacher of a primary school of the same size. In 1913 there were 88 special secondary assistants —37 men and 51 women. In 1914 there were 39 men and 49 women. Leaving out of consideration the head teachers, the average number of pupils per teacher was, on the roll number at the end of the year, 21-5, on the average attendance for the year, 22-1.

Salaries and Status 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 £71,992, as against £69,856 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 Salabies in Secondary Schools. 1913. , 1914. , M. F. All. M. F.

The average salary of all women was £183 4s. 7d., and the average salary of 'all men was £283 ss. 4d. Conditions have been made under the Act of 4914 ensuring certain minimum salaries better than the present average salaries, so that higher average salaries may be expected at the end of the current year. 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 secondary assistants, exclusive of the sums paid to head teachers by way of extra salary, were, in December, 1913 and 1914, as follows:— 1913. 1914. £ s. d. £ s. d.

The total amount paid in salaries to teachers in secondary departments of district high schools, including the special payments to head teachers, was £18,929 as against £17,295 for 1913. The professional qualifications of the secondary-school teachers of the Dominion are as follows : — Status op Secondary Teachers (Regular Staff only), December, 1914.

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 ; (6) 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 subject to some qualification upon buildings, and less mortgage and other charges. In regard to new buildings the Education Act, 1914, provides that the expenditure shall not be deducted unless the Minister is satisfied that the buildings are necessary for the purposes of the secondary school. The Tenth Schedule to the Education Act, 1914, provides for more liberal payments than formerly to secondary schools admitting free pupils. In addition to a lump sum of £100 payable yearly to each school, the maximum rate of capitation for each free pupil has been increased from £12 10s. to £13 10s. per annum, and other rates proportionately. The schedule lays down certain conditions as to staffing and salaries of teachers as necessary before full rates of payment on account of the attendance of free pupils can be claimed. The following is a summary of the receipts and expenditure of all secondary schools for the year 1914 : — Table X.—Summary of the Accounts of Income and Expenditure for 1914 furnished by the Governing Bodies of Secondary Schools.

Thirteen of the secondary-schools Boards in operation show a credit balance at the end of the year and eleven a debit balance. The net credit balance of all schools taken together is £11,875, as compared with £17,008 in 1913. The decrease is mainly owing to building operations carried on during the year. 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 X 6 in E.-6 the following position as at the Ist March, 1914: — 1912. 1913. 1914.

The last figure given shows as nearly as may be the actual cost per annum for each pupil, exclusive of those in the lower departments. Further details of the income and expenditure of the secondary schools will be found in Tables X 7 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 thirteen secondary schools during 1914 ; the total number of pupils in those departments was 362 ; the total expenditure on salaries of teachers was £2,400; the total amount of fees received on their account was £3,152. (See Table X 10.)
2. REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to furnish you with a report on secondary education in the Dominion for year, 1914. Secondary education is carried on in three different classes of schools—endowed secondary schools, private secondary schools, and district high schools. The course of instruction in these three classes of schools is, in general, similar, but the work of schools of the first class is usually carried further, and readies in its highest form the standard of attainments of the University Junior Scholarship. In a few of the largest district high schools the highest form reaches a somewhat similar standard of work. In some cf the secondary schools three definite courses of instruction are provided for hoys and girls respectively. The courses are usually denned in boys' schools as— (a) Classical or general; (6) commercial ; (c) agricultural. In girls' schools course (c) is named home science. This differentiation
2—E. 6.

is possible only in separate schools for boys and girls, or where the school is large enough to have in its lowest forms teachers for boys and girls respectively. English, arithmetic, mathematics, history, geography, and a branch of science are common to all. Latin and French are added in the case of (a) ; book-keeping and allied subjects as alternatives to Latin and French for (b) ; and agriculture and other topics closely related for (c) (boys), and subjects having a direct bearing on house-craft for (c) (girls). The work is arranged in all secondary schools to reach the Intermediate Certificate in two years. The pupils of course (a) reach the University Junior Scholarship Examination in four or five years. The three courses thus indicated are provided for in a few of the secondary schools only. They are not found in the secondary schools in the cities and largest towns. In some of the schools, even in the country towns, the curriculum is almost identical with course (a). This is surely a mistake, for New Zealand must depend largely on the products of the soil, and if the education of its boys ought to bo related to their future life-work the course of instruction should make suitable provision for intelligent teaching in agriculture. In most of the district high schools the rural course has been adopted, and where facilities are provided for individual laboratory practice and an area of land has been set aside for observational and experimental work very satisfactory results are being achieved. It is not desired that the curriculum should be mainly of a vocational nature, for a good sound general education is a matter of paramount importance. Piircly technical education is not advisable, but as good a training in the principles of science can be obtained from the ruial course drawn yip by the Department as from any of the other sciences. In some of the secondary schools and district .high schools the home-science course has been introduced. It has been felt that there is a considerable number of girls whose tastes and capacities lie altogether in a direction away either from professional or office work. Accordingly some of the secondary schools and district high schools have made a beginning with a course of instruction in which hygiene, first aid, cookery, dressmaking, and art have been substituted for the foreign languages and mathematics of course (a), and for the book-keeping and closely allied subjects of course (b). ' The value of a course such as this can scarcely be overrated. In fact, it might fairly be contended that every girl in our secondary schools, whether Government or private, ought to be taught the elements of household management. It is a matter for regret that in some ruralized secondary schools the course in agriculture has received such a small measure of support that it had to be abandoned or occupy a decidedly inferior position. Almost without exception course (a) is the most popular in both the cities and large towns as well as in the smaller centres. This is probably due to two causes : Firstly, for a long time this course was usually taken by boys and girls, and is still regarded as the most suitable one by parents, even when their children do not intend to enter on a professional career. This course, moreover, has an examination of on« kind or another as its goal, and examinations still exercise considerable fascination ; secondly, there is an idea in many quarters that the agriculture course is intended only for pupils who wish to take up rural pursuits in after-life. This arises from a misconception of the aim and scope of this course. When it is clearly recognized that the agriculture course can provide as good a training in secondary subjects as either the professional or the commercial courses, and that the work is not necessarily of a strictly technical character suitable for the future farmer, the agriculture course will no doubt receive the consideration it merits. General intellectual equipment can be obtained from a course in which agriculture is the branch of science taught as well as from any other. Its chief recommendation lies in the obvious fact that it draws most of its illustrations from phenomena with which the pupils are familiar from childhood, and is not based on theoretical instruction from text-books. Moreover, the programme of work in English, history, geography, arithmetic, and mathematics is .> practically the same as that of the professional and commercial courses. Organization. —The organization of the schools varies considerably. In some a form master or mistress is appointed who is responsible for the general progress, home lessons, behaviour, &c, of that form. This is the teacher to whom the pupil would go if he wished some slight adjustment in his course. In general, the teacher chosen would be responsible for a substantial amount of the work of that form. In some schools the teacher of English is appointed to that position. Tn other cases —usually few in number—there is no form master or mistress, as the teachers are teachers of subjects primarily. Specialization is of considerable importance in school-work as well as in other departments, but it must be a great drawback and a source of bewilderment to a boy or girl who enters a secondary school from a primary school to have a number of teachers every day. It must take him a considerable time to get his bearings. Moreover, the loss is greatest in that side of school life which is of the highest importance —-viz., the formation of character. It is surety indisputable that the continual influence of the teacher on the pupil throughout practically the school day is the determining factor in character-building. Where the personal element is in the background—and it must be so where there are as many diverse influences as there are separate teachers —the work of producing a regular beneficial influence on the pupil is seriously hampered. There is little opportunity for mutual expressions of confidence which lie at the back of the formation of ideals of conduct. In some schools meetings of the staff are held to discuss the progress of individual pupils, the amount of home lessons, schemes of work, the way in which the various subjects of the curriculum can be correlated, &c. These meetings cannot fail to be highly beneficial in improving the efficiency of the teaching staff. English. —The teaching of English is, in general, good. The English language is in most schools taught in a systematic manner by carefully graded lessons for the various forms. The main, grammatical distinctions are taught in the lowest forms, and the detailed study is left for subsequent treatment. In some schools, however, too much detail is taught in the earlier stages. In the teaching of spelling the spelling-book containing isolated words, the meaning of which is often not known, is still sometimes used. Such a practice should be discontinued. The vocabulary of pupils must be extended, but the words should be learned from their context in the passage in which they occur, and not from lists of isolated words. An extensive course of reading is the best method to follow, and if good lessons in wordbuilding are associated with the reading lessons accurate spelling will be the result. In many schools
11
E.—6
the lessons in English literature are used with considerable effect. The literature and language lessons are regarded as complementary, and one is used to re-enforce the teaching of the other. The aim in literature is, inter alia, to enable the pupils to understand the thought of the works studied. Notes should be employed only so far as they are necessary for this purpose. If the lessons consist largely of notes on geography, history, philology, &c, the thought of the passage under consideration, is apt to be buried under the wealth of detailed, information supplied. There is frequently a tendency to neglect simple, homely illustrations taken from the pupils' experience, and to furnish instead text-book explanations. Detailed knowledge —often given by inexperienced teachers —is apt to confuse rather than to shed light on obscure passages. In not a few schools the beauties of the choicest pieces are well taught, and the pupils' appreciation of the charm of the figures of speech is appealed to with considerable effect. The test of effective teaching is the ability of the pupils to express their own ideas in well-chosen language. Some of the sohools devote a considerable amount of care and thought to this aspect of their work, and. steps are taken by means of specimen lessons with suitable blackboard teaching to show how ideas should be logically set out. The most difficult phase of composition is the ability to divide the essay into paragraphs, and, as might be expected, it is here that the pupils' own efforts are least satisfactory. The unity of the paragraph is often destroyed by the introduction of irrelevant matter, and by frequent digressions from the main idea with which the paragraph deals. A careful study of a good standard author would go. a long way in removing some of the defects referred to. Of course, it is not to be expected that pupils-who have been in a secondary school for two years should have more than an elementary knowledge of the nature of a paragraph. The teaching of history in some instances consists largely of taking down notes at the teacher's dictation. This method is of little value, and is more likely to create a feeling of dislike in the minds of the pupils for the facts of history than to stimulate a desire on their part to know how our Empire has grown and how our great privileges have been obtained. Text-books—and their number is legion -arc available at small cost. The most important thing is the way in which they are used. As an auxiliary to teaching they are indispensable, but they should not be used, as a substitute. A good oral lesson with a reasonable use of the blackboard and other aids should precede the pupils' reading of the text-book at home. If the teachers' exposition is stimulating, the preparation of the reign or epoch at home will be carried out in an intelligent manner. In this way, especially if a few important dates are memorized, a reasonable understanding may be obtained of the leading facts of English history. As far as possible a knowledge of the remote should be gained, by a reference to everyday happenings. In geography the facts of political geography are associated with the physical-aspects of the subject, and the interdependence of the two is generally recognized ; but here it is sometimes found that pupils are able to describe with considerable detail the leading facts set out in the text-book without seeing the bearing of these on the locality in which they are living. It goes without saying that a knowledge of the geographical facts of distant countries and the phenomena of the tides, seasons, climate, &c, should be based upon a first-hand knowledge of the world which is tho pupil's everyday environment. There is a tendency to teach too many place-names. When it is borne in mind that most of the textbooks in use have been written from the English point of view it will be seen that the topography needs revision to bring it into line with our New Zealand standpoint. Most schools teach Latin by the traditional method, but in a few instances the " direct method " is used. Where the former method is in use an easy reading-book is often introduced during the second *■ or third term. Some teachers, however, keep their pupils unduly long with the uninteresting repetition of the sentences in the text-books. The sentences have been selected to illustrate the grammar, and as there is no connection between the thought of one sentence and another there is little to maintain the interest. The success of the lesson depends primarily on the ability of the teacher to create interest in the work and not on the interest which ought natuially to arise if there was a unity in the subjectmatter. To avoid the tedious nature of sentences designed to drill the pupils in case endings, &c, some teachers introduce an easy reading-book and question in Latin on the piece read ; others have introduced text-books in which, largely through oral exercises, the grammar is learned to some extent as it is learned in acquiring a knowledge of the mother-tongue. More than this in the series of direct methods is rarely attempted. 1 notice, however, that a text-book very recently published exemplified a still further step in this desired direction, and the method is commended to the notice of teachers. In the preface the author says, " This book attempts to embody, in the teaching of Latin, those scientific principles upon which a fairly general agreement has been reached. The lessons are dramatic in form, and the teacher has. the difficult task of judging how far the pupils understand words which are not to be translated." He adds that "by following the order of nature it should be possible to dispense with the use ol English in acquiring Latin and so realize the direct method." In French the direct method is adopted in almost every school, the grammatical method being used in those smaller district high schools where the teacher has two or three divisions to teach. Even here the pupils almost invariably begin with reading French and learn the grammar incidentally. The main difference between the teaching of French in these schools and in those in which there is a teacher for each form is the small amount of question and answer on the piece that has tteen read. In some schools excellent oral practice is given in French, and considerable facility of expression is.attained Good use is also made of pictures or objects which form the basis of conversation. Ordinary everyday, topics, such as the weather or recent occurrences, are used with great effect in some instances. The teaching of French in the best schools has reached a high standard, and there is almost complete unanimity among teachers of the superiority of the direct over the grammatical method. The interest created from the first in using a language as a means of communicating thought is a matter of such outstanding merit that any unprejudiced critic could not fail to pronounce in favour of the oral method. It certainly makes greater demands on the teacher, but this is amply compensated for by the interest of the pupils and the rapid progress made.

Many teachers complain that the work of teaching a foreign language is greatly hampered by the lack, of knowledge of the English language which their pupils have at the time of entering a secondary school. This defect is much more serious in Latin than in French, where the inflexions present difficulty from the beginning, but it is evident that a knowledge of the main functions of words and the elements of analysis of sentences would be of considerable benefit to pupils who are endeavouring to learn a foreign language. In some schools too many pupils begin the study of two foreign languages, French and Latin, at the time of their entry on secondary work. The attempt to learn the elements of two languages in addition to the systematic study of the mother-tongue imposes a heavier burden than many pupils are able to bear. It would be much better if only one foreign language were taught in the first year, except in the case of scholarship-holders, who presumably are the cleverest pupils. This would enable the head teacher to decide who were of undoubted linguistic ability, and consequently might begin the study of a second foreign language after the end of the year with a reasonable prospect of success. Mathematics, including arithmetic, reaches a high state of efficiency in some schools, especially where the value of the concrete is recognized in the initial stages. In some instances, however, the study is purely of an abstract character and out of relation to the world of facts. Too much of the pupils' time is taken up in purely mechanical operations in long multiplication, division, &c. If this work w T ere confined to modest dimensions, and problems of a practical character were given, more interest would be aroused and greater progress secured. In geometry the pupils are sometimes taught the strict geometrical proofs without a suitable preparatory course of practical work being gone through. Numerous simple aids should be used to shed light on the abstract side of this subject. In some scho-ols field-work is done with great benefit. The practical work should bo regarded as a suitable introduction to the abstract point of view—Euclid's proofs. " The average boy or girl does not derive benefit from the so-called proofs of these early propositions ; he gets a better hold of the propositions themselves if they are treated more freely as matters of observation and intuition, and he makes a better start with deduction if he begins this process with the application of these propositions to obtain fresh results than if he begins by applying it to prove results which he already accepts. Some seem to think that there is something loose or unsound or dangerous to a boy's intellectual health in letting him thus assume statements which it has been customary to ' prove.' This idea rests on a misunderstanding of the proposals put forward or of the nature of a geometrical system " —memorandum by the English. Board of Education, on the teaching of geometry in secondary schools. This is equally true of arithmetic where a considerable amount of time is spent in working out purely mechanical examples which are of no practical value whatever. The only justification for their retention is the training in accuracy which they afford; but this could be secured without such tedious processes. More might be made of approximations, although in some schools this aspect of arithmetic receives considerable attention. Many of the examples in arithmetic text-books are not sufficiently related to the pupils' experience. If the examples chosen appealed directly to the children's groups of ideas the answers would be viewed as reasonable or otherwise by th: m, and if considered unreasonable the method of solution would be immediately scrutinized with a view to using a fresh method. In a number of cases where pupils were finding discount or present worth they had the haziest ideas of the meaning of a bill of exchange or promissory note. The leading features ought to be explained and a bill of exchange shown them. Formula? are still employed in the solution of problems. One of the chief reasons for teaching mathematics is the value of such studies as a training in consecutive thinking ; if formulae are used this object is defeated. .* In no subject has such thorough change been introduced into the methods of teaching as in the teaching of science, and few schools attempt to deal with any branch of science unless facilities are afforded for individual laboratory practice. But important as the science laboratory is as an adjunct to the teaching, it is in the attitude to the phenomena considered that the greatest change has come. In the best schools tho pupils are investigators, endeavouring to find out by interrogating nature what her secrets really are. Material is dealt with in some definite fashion under the skilled direction of tho teacher, the results are carefully noticed and set down, and inferences are drawn. The results obtained may be unsatisfactory, and the inferences may be crude, but they represent the pupils' own investigations, and so the method is sound. It is the method of inquiry—facts are brought under strict scrutiny, and conclusions are drawn from observation and experiment. The main aim is to cultivate a spirit of inquiry—" the endeavour is made to inculcate the habits of observing accurately, of experimenting exactly, of observing and experimenting with a clearly defined and logical purpose, and of logical reasoning from observation and the results of experimental inquiry." In this connection the following statement by Huxley has a direct bearing on tho subject : " Not only are men trained in mere book-work, ignorant of what observation means, but the habit of learning from books alone begets a disgust of observation. The book-learned student will rather trust to what he sees in a book than to the witness of his own eyes." It is the method of science that is of paramount importance, not the mere acquisition of facts. In most schools this is clearly recognized, as an. inspection of the procedure adopted by the teacher and of the pupils' notebooks would abundantly testify. Two different methods are followed in making notes—for in the best laboratories the notes are made by the pupils, not dictated by the science master —cither they are made in the laboratory in a permanent form, or a rough copy is made at the time and entered up by the pupil at home. In a few cases the notes had not been revised by the teacher. Systematic revision makes fairly large demands on the teacher's spare time, but when the pupils know that their books are regularly scrutinized it acts as a wholesome influence in eliminating careless work. There were isolated instances or too much reliance on the text-books. The pupils verified the statements set out therein and did not attempt to make an inquiry on their own account. It is obvious that this is contrary to the method of science, which is in essence the faculty of observing and of reasoning from observation and experiment. "Be
13
E.—6
it remembered that all branches of natural science are based on facts slowly and patiently accumulated by experiment and observation, truth having been sifted from error, but gradually and sometimes with great difficulty ; and it is unreasonable to suppose that the results of the prolonged labours of innumerable inquirers can he properly brought homo to and usefully assimilated by untrained workers in a few short hours. Experience shows that they are not." In some schools there was a tendency to divide the work unnecessarily, and subjects like arithmetic, algebra, and geometry were in the hands of different teachers. English language, literature, and composition were separated, and the translation, prose, and grammar of a foreign, language were assigned to different teachers. Specialization is no doubt necessary in teaching some of the highestbranches of study, but it is surely carrying this principle too far when closely associated subjects as the branches of mathematics commonly taught in our secondary schools or the language and literature are in the hands of different teachers. To separate subjects in which the interdependence and close connection is so great as in the instances referred to must result in a loss of efficiency in the teachingpower of the staff. There is such a large number of cross-references in most of these subjects that the work in one could not fail to be of mutual assistance to the other. In the best schools the blackboard is recognized as an indispensable adjunct to effective teaching, but cases are too common of neglect of this excellent ally. A small sketch or drawing, especially if coloured crayons are used, will prove much more effective than the finest word picture. A short summary of a good oral lesson will add considerably to the success of the lesson. Most teachers arc alive to the assistance afforded by blackboard illustrations and make the fullest use of the facilities afforded. The success of a lesson depends in large measure on the teacher's skill in questioning; and it is a matter of regret when a good oral exposition is weakened by a lack of ability to put suitable questions, either during the progress of the lesson or at its conclusion. Good questioning usually awakens the interest of the class, and is calculated to secure the active co-operation of each pupil. It is therefore obvious that simultaneous answering should be eliminated. Questions ought to bo directed to individual pupils or else out forward for the consideration of the class as a whole, with the clear understanding that some one will be called'upon for an answer. To allow the first pupil who gets the answer to reply is a direct incentive to the shirker, or a positive discouragement to the pupil whose mind moves rather slowly to the answer. Whether there should be home lessons is a matter on which there is considerable divergence of opinion among educationists, and much has been written from both points of view. It is generally admitted that if home lessons are given care should be taken to confine them in the lower forms to the preparation of work bearing on topics which have been dealt with in school. As a rule new ground should not be broken by the pupils. If this were done and the amount set were quite reasonable, probably much of the complaint against home lessons would disappear. It is when pupils are asked to deal with matter which is entirely new to them, and work involving hours of preparation is given, that strong protests are raised. From inquiries made at the time of inspection there does not appear to be much justification for the charge of overstrain due to excessive home-work. Most teachers limit the work from an hour to an hour and a half in Form 111, from an hour and a half to two hours in Form IV, and from two hours to two and, a half hours in. the upper forms. This appears to be the average time set apart for home preparation. Of course, in the case of clever pupils the time would be shorter, and with dull pupils correspondingly longer. As far as can be gathered, the common practice is to lessen the work when parents complain that home-work is prejudicial to the health of •" their children. Nearly all the principals of the secondary schools utilize the privilege of recommending junior-free-place holders for senior free places when they are satisfied that their pupils' progress justifies the State in continuing their secondary education for a further period. The power which has been placed in the hands of the principals has been used with commendable discrimination, and the change adopted by the Department eight years ago has been eminently successful. It is based on the fact that promotion from grade to grade in the school should be determined by those who are best qualified to judge, and not on the results of a single outside examination, however wisely it may be conducted. " A certificate, to be of value, should certify not only to the attainments of a scholar at one critical moment, but it should testify that he has lived the school life, and should by its comprehensive character take account of the entire school record." There can be no doubt that this method places great responsibility in the hands of our secondary-school teachers —a responsibility to which they have nobly risen, for they have recognized that it gives them an opportunity of introducing improved methods of teaching and of providing to the fullest extent for initiative. The physical education of the boys and girls receives considerable attention. In addition to the organized school games, swimming and life-saving are taught, the boys have military drill, the girls receive instruction in first aid, and practically all have recognized periods of physical drill under qualified instructors. The provision made for the physical well-being of the pupils is highly satisfactory. It affords me very much pleasure to testify to the disinterested manner in which the teachers cany out their multifarious duties. No sacrifice seems to be too great where the well-being of their pupils is concerned. Any suggestions made to secure a higher standard of teaching efficiency or any improvement in the organization of the schools receive the utmost consideration. My visits to the schools year by year have strengthened the opinion I formed eight years ago, that the Dominion has every reason to be pleased with the conscientious and capable men and women to whom the secondary education of its boys and girls has been entrusted.

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.

APPENDIX. DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS.—EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS, INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, AND AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTORS. AUCKLAND. Report of Senior Inspector op Schools. The following gives the names of the district high schools in operation at the close of 1914, with the enrolment in the secondary departments: Aratapu roll, 23; Cambridge roll, 17; Coromandel roll, 17; Paeroa roll, 27 ; Pukekohe roll, 13 ; Rotorua roll, 22 ; Tauranga roll, 24 ; Te Aroha, 9 ; Te Kuiti roll, 14 ; Waihi roll, 35 ; Normal roll, 19 : total, 220. In general the pupils are either qualifying for one or other of the public examinations, or are qualifying for senior free places along other channels. The teaching is characterized by earnestness, and in most cases commendable results are being achieved. In five schools the rural course is in operation, and in others, which are beyond reach of woodwork and cookery centres, as much of this course as can be overtaken is included in the curriculum. During one day each week the Board's instructors in agriculture visit the schools, taking the rural course, and assist in the teaching of those subjects included in the term " elementary agriculture," and in other kindred subjects. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in securing suitable male assistants, partly owing to the relatively small salaries offered, and partly because teachers are disposed to regard the secondary departments of district high schools as unprofitable channels for promotion. It is to be hoped that the scale of salaries payable under the new Act will attract a better type of male assistant, and that teachers will come to realize that promotion awaits successful effort in the district-high-school class just as surely as in the standard classes of the primary school. The majority of the schools are still without suitable laboratory equipment, and, until this is provided, work in the science subjects cannot be followed by the best results. It is to be regretted that parents and others do not fully realize the benefits to be derived from the presence of district high schools, as shown by the small enrolment in some of the secondary classes. Pupils going to work at the close of primary-school life must necessarily be insufficiently prepared for the discharge of those duties and responsibilities awaiting them, and cannot hope for the same measure of success as others whose school days are more prolonged, and who, in consequence, enter on the real work of life with a better foundation of knowledge and more highly developed intelligence. The rural course, moreover, which will gradually find its way into all district high schools, is specially designed to become a very real and valuable preparation for the work which the majority of our young people in country districts will ultimately find themselves engaged in ; so that the attitude of indifference which has led to the closing of certain district high schools, and may lead, to the closing of others, can be explained only on the assumption that parents and pupils do not realize the importance of the training provided, or the necessity for taking advantage of its benefits. TARANAKI. Extract prom the Report of the Inspector of Schools. There is ample evidence that the rural classes at the Stratford District High School are becoming more popular each year. Nevertheless, it is probable that many people do not even yet realize tho excellence of this comprehensive theoretical and practical course. It is intended especially for those who, while not aiming at a University training, or willing to devote themselves for four or five years to those studies which, however interesting and profitable, are yet of no direct and practical use, wish nevertheless to continue their studies for two or more years after leaving the primary school, with a view to enabling them to go back to the land equipped with a thorough knowledge of their business, and able to avail themselves fully of all the aids to success afforded by the intelligent application of scientific principles to their particular needs. While, however, this aim is kept steadily in view, it is recognized that without a sound basis of general knowledge all such special knowledge fails of its full effect. The students therefore receive a thorough training in English and mathematics. In addition to these staple subjects, the course includes dairy science, agriculture, woodwork, metalwork, surveying, dressmaking, cookery, and laundry-work ; and, realizing that the farmer also needs to have some knowledge of accounts, the directors of the course last year included a class in book-keeping, conducted by an expert. The dairy class last year performed individually a large number of experiments on the properties of milk, butter, cheese, and rennet, and on the causes and prevention of defects in the quality of these ; and received lessons on such important subjects as the care, feeding, and physiology of the cow, and the manufacture of butter and cheese. They visited the Stratford Butter Factory and the Ngaere Cheese Factory, spending several hours at each, and taking careful notes on the various processes they observed. In the case of wood and metal work, the course pursued is chosen especially with a view to its practical utility on the farm. Instruction is given in mending common articles, and in making things in common use, in hammering out links for chains, in making, mending, and setting up wooden and iron gates, and so forth. The agriculture class during the past year conducted experiments on the effects of manures in common use on various pasture grasses, and on the spraying and pruning of fruit-trees. A good deal of time was devoted to work in the glasshouse, where grape-vines are in their second year, and much benefit was here derived from the instruction and advice of Mr. McMillan, a local amateur expert in viticulture, who kindly paid several visits to the school. On the principle that no man can

work well unless he is fed well, the girls in the cookery classes received competent theoretical and practical instruction in all branches of ordinary useful everyday cookery, and in the economical purchase of supplies. Laundry-work was taken, and the work in this subject will be further amplified and extended next year. WANGANUI. Pjxtract from the Report of the Senior Inspector of Schools. Taken all over, the district high schools are doing good work. There is still a tendency on the part of the teachers to lead every pupil to take Latin as part of the course of instruction. In one department, for instance, all the pupils except one take this subject. If the pupils were prepared to give a considerable proportion of their time to the subject for five or six years, it would be excellent, but, if not, there are other subjects of vastly more moment. The teaching of elementary science has been placed on a satisfactory basis at all schools except one, where the small number of pupils and the repeated changes of teachers have made progressive work difficult in any direction. Incidentally I have pointed out to teachers that the following matters should be taken into consideration when they are making up their programme of work for next year : — (I.) Elementary surveying should form part of the rural class work. (2.) In all work in elementary science a beginning should be made with the execution of practical graphs. (3.) The science work entered in the exercise-books should be neat and orderly. * (1.) The number of subjects forming a rural course should be reduced. Latin, for instance, should form no part of it. WELLINGTON. Extract from Report of Inspectors of Schools. The course of work taken in the district high schools is similar to that of last year—that is to say, it consists of programmes which, while designed to meet the requirements of the rural course, are sufficiently wide to prepare pupils for the Public Service Entrance and Intermediate Examinations. Our reports show that on the whole highly satisfactory work has been done during the year. English is marked in no school lower than " satisfactory," and the quality of the instruction in some of the classes varies from good to very good. Composition is on the whole very satisfactory, while the pupils show great interest in, and appreciation of, the English, authors read during the year. In this connection we recommend the teachers of the secondary classes to make more use of books of literary extracts in addition to the study of one or more complete works—a plan which has been used with conspicuous success at the Hutt District High School. In this way they will widen the pupils' acquaintance with English literature, develop their love of reading, and introduce them to many authors of whose works they otherwise might remain long in ignorance. Incidentally, also, by the adoption of some such widened course of reading, the pupils will be better able to meet examination requirements. Arithmetic and mathematics are estimated in our reports as from satisfactory to very good. Geography, history, and drawing are all satisfactorily treated. French is an optional subject at two schools, while Latin is taken as a part of the regular course in three schools, and is optional in four others. In both subjects very satisfactory results have been achieved. Highly satisfactory reports have been received from the instructors in domestic science and woodwork, and these reports were corroborated by the quality of the work done at the practical examination for Senior B scholarship. The science-work comprises agriculture, botany, chemistry, physics, physiology, and hygiene. Our inspection and examination show that in science very satisfactory work is being done. In only one school was the work valued at less than satisfactory. We find, however, that on the whole too much has been attempted, and better work could have been done if the programme had covered less ground. The adoption of the " intermediate " courses in agriculture and in dairy-work as the main science subjects, with subsidiary courses in chemistry, physics, and botany, and with a modified programme of physiology and hygiene, shorter than that of the " intermediate " syllabus, would have a tendency towards greater efficiency. The science of the secondary classes suffers in the first year from the discontinuity of the programmes in nature-study and science in the primary classes. As noted above, however, the majority of the country schools now base their science on the agricultural programme issued by the Board, and this should afford the secondary teachers a good basis for the programmes of their department. Our remarks of last year with respect to the need of an agricultural college for the North Island or of some similar institution where our secondary pupils could continue their work in rural science still hold good, and there is no doubt that the need of such an institution is being more urgently felt every year. HAWKE'S BAY. Extract from Report of Education Board. The rural science course in the district high schools is now taken by all first- and second-year pupils. Last year was the most satisfactory since the inception of the course. Provision is now made for the continuation of the work in agricultural science with third- and fourth-year students where needed; at Waipawa and Hastings Matriculation classes in agriculture and dairy science have been formed. The following tables give details of the attendance in the secondary department of the district high schools during the past year :— AveriL-,- Number on Roll, 1914.

Hastings, Waipawa, and Woodville still remain the only centres where district high schools are in operation. These have continued to operate successfully on the lines indicated in last year's report. We consider that the scope of a secondary department might widened by the adoption of a specialized rural course of elementary agriculture, to which, should be added botany and a practical knowledge of the grasses that are best adapted to districts like Hastings, Waipawa, and Woodville. where the surrounding rooks are so widely different. The results of the annual examinations in each district high school Vere eminently satisfactory, as shown by the following : —
There is a growing demand for a district high school at Waipukurau, which is the centre of a rapidly increasing district, although situated so near to Waipawa, where there is an excellent school established. Unfortunately, the train arrangements between the two towns are bad, so that the Waipukurau Sohool Committee are prepared to guarantee a minimum attendance at the secondary classes should their application for a district high school be approved. Waipawa and Waipukurau form the centre of an important agricultural and pastoral district, and unless a suitable railway time-table can be provided an understanding between the opposing interests in the two towns might result in the establishment of a special school adapted to meet the wants of all parties. We again direct attention to the need for a district high school at Wairoa. The town is a centre of considerable and growing importance, but nothing is provided beyond the primary school. Manual and technical instruction, by reason of the isolation of the district, has made little progress. A district high school with a rural course of elementary agriculture would be of special value to the Native and European children of the entire county. Over one hundred Native children attend the Wairoa Public School, and the circumstances present special features for consideration. The County Council are fully alive to the need of something being done for the children in the county, and the annual scholarship established by them is a worthy effort to help the country children to attend a secondary sohool. Pending the establishment of a district high school for the county the suggestion is made that the Borough of Wairoa might grant a similar scholarship for the benefit of children living within the limits of the town. Extract from Report of Director of Manual Instruction. Rural Course in District High Schools. —The rural science course approved by the Department is now taken by all first- and second-year pupils in the district high schools. Agriculture, dairy science, and science of common life are taught by Mr. W. Morris, domestic science and dressmaking by Miss V. Hyde, and farm woodwork by Mr. Dandy. The other subjects of the course are taken by the staffs of the different schools. Last year has been the most satisfactory since the inception of the rural course. The standard of work in elementary agriculture and dairy science is that required for the Public Service Entrance Examination. During the year demonstrations were given in budding, grafting, pruning, and. the mixing of sprays, by Mr. W. Morris, assistant instructor in agriculture, and the practical work thus demonstrated was performed by the pupils. In the dairy-science work the local factory-managers have been of great assistance to tho instructor, inasmuch as they have arranged buttermaking demonstrations, &c, for the benefit of the pupils. The orchard at Woodville is looking very promising, and a number of the trees are bearing. During the year the Hastings School Committee has acquired an additional half an acre for agricultural purposes. This Committee has been greatly interested in the rural course since its introduction three years ago, and the raising of sufficient funds to purchase the extra ground as well as finding sufficient funds to keep going a large school like Hastings shows that in addition to being interested they are alive to the future needs in agricultural education. Although the rural course only extends over two years, provision has been made for continuing the agricultural science with third- and fourth-year pupils where needed. At Waipawa and Hastings special Matriculation classes in this subject were held, during the year. It seems necessary at this stage to emphasize the fact that our agricultural education in the district high schools makes no claim at turning out farmers. These schools cannot be expected to give boys a complete agricultural training—that is the function of a purely vocational school; but the district high schools are capable of giving, and do give, an excellent introductory training. I trust the time is not far distant when a purely agricultural high school will be established in central Hawke's Bay which would continue the work of the primary and district high sohools and carry it on. to the final or University stage.

NELSON. Extract from Report of Inspectors of Schools. Four district high schools continue to be in operation—at Westport, Reefton, Motueka, and Takaka. At the time of our annual examination of the secondary divisions of these schools the total roll number was eighty-one, as against seventy-one for 1913. The number in attendance at Takaka shows a further slight decrease. It is a matter for regret that the people of this district apparently fail to appreciate the advantages of such a school in their midst. At two of the schools a modified rural course has been adopted, the special branches of instruction being under the personal supervision of the Board's instructor, who visits these schools in alternate weeks. Adverse local conditions render this course unsuitable at the other two schools. In general, the scope of work in the various classes is limited to the requirements laid down in the different subjects for the Public Service Entrance and Matriculation Examinations, and at our examination of the work undertaken the results at each school were quite starisfactory. GREY. Extract from Report of Inspector of Schools. My report on the secondary department of the Greymouth District High School having been furnished before the close of the year, I was not able to supply any further indication of its efficiency as a whole than was discovered through my own observation. The chief aim of this department has been to prepare candidates for the public examinations, and the results of these are now to hand. One student passed the Junior University Scholarship Examination with credit; two matriculated ; one passed the Public Service Competitive and eleven the Public Service Non-competitive Examinations. WESTLAND. Extract from Report of Inspector of Schools. Hokitika District High School.- At the time of the inspection visit there were sixty-two pupils in the secondary department, distributed as follows : First year, twenty-seven ; second year, twentyone ; third year, fourteen. All the pupils of the second and third year and fourteen of the first year have taken a course selected with a view to the preparation for the Matriculation Examination and for the Public Service Entrance or Intermediate Examinations. The requirements of these examinations are compassed in three years. The subjects include Latin, English, mathematics (arithmetic, algebra, and geometry), history, geography, and science. The English includes a wide course of reading in addition to technical studies. In science the courses consist of physical science for boys and home science for girls. Free use is made of the apparatus and material of the science-room of the Technical School. A section of the first-year pupils, numbering thirteen, are engaged in a commercial course, consisting mainly of English, arithmetic, book-keeping, typewriting, and science. This division also takes woodwork and cookery. As the course of the Matrioulation Examination is distributed over three years, instead, of four as is usually done, it is to be expected that a few scholars will find it necessary at some stage to repeat a single year's work. It is very satisfactory to find that the number of these is very small. Nearly "ITII the pupils of the first and second years and all of the third have prepared a wide course with creditable results. Eleven in the third year and several in the second year entered for the Public Service Entrance or Intermediate Examination, and six of the former presented themselves at the Matriculation Examination. The first-year pupils taking the full course were very successful in the test in English, geometry, and Latin, and the general result in the remaining subjects is commendable. The commercial class has been well prepared in the whole of the course. The pupils of the second and third years answered very creditably the papers in all subjects in the recent test. The results generally are of exceptional merit and the character- of the instruction is worthy of high commendation. In connection with the examinations held during November and December, two pupils passed the Matriculation Examination, one obtained a partial pass, eleven passed the Public Service Entrance Examination, and thirteen the Intermediate Examination. Report of Education Board. The secondary- department of the Hokitika District High School opened the year with seventyfive pupils. These were reduced to sixty-one at the end of the year. Thirteen pupils of the first year confined their attention mostly to a commercial course. The remainder studied, in the various stages, the requirements of the Public Service Entrance and Matriculation Examinations. The Board is able to strengthen the staff as a result of assistance from the Hokitika High School Board. NORTH CANTERBURY. Extract from Report of Inspector of Schools. The returns show 359 pupils on the secondary department rolls, an increase of twenty-four on those of last year. All our district high schools are doing good work, furnishing abundant evidence that they are justifying their existence and giving excellent opportunities for educational advancement to pupils who otherwise would be prevented from taking advantage of higher-grade work. The rural courses are generally working smoothly, and are becoming more popular with parents, who are rea izing more fully the direct bearing of such instruction upon the future of an agricultural community. Inspection visits were paid to the district high schools during the last term of the year, and the results were distinctly gratifying, showing that educational work of a good solid character is being carried out

Extract from Report of Instructor in Agriculture. The district high schools at Lincoln, Darfield, Oxford, and Kaikoura continue to do useful work in the subjects of the rural course. The attendance all round is smaller this year than last, especially at Oxford, but there are signs of improvement. The special subjects of instruction in this course have all been taken by Mr. Amess, who shows a real enthusiasm in his work, and who has bestowed that enthusiasm on most of his pupils. Considering what a small percentage of country pupils in North Canterbury get any secondary education, there seems room for several more district high schools, and it is to be regretted that in the very centre of the agricultural industry so very few are getting any special instruction in the subjects of the rural course. I have placed a leaflet in the hands of all pupils passing the Standard VI examination, drawing attention to the necessity for, and character of, our rural instruction in district high schools. SOUTH CANTERBURY. Report of Inspectors of Schools. The district high schools at Waimate, Temuka, and Pleasant Point are managed by headmasters of long experience and well-proved skill. From the time that such schools were first established in South Canterbury the Board has been careful to select as headmasters men skilled in. primary-school work, and as a guarantee of their fitness to take a share in the secondary work and to supe/vise the assistants in the secondary department the Board has also made it a condition that the headmasters should be University graduates. That this policy has been a wise one has been amply proved by the success of our district high school pupils in the Public Service, Scholarships, Teachers' Certificate and University Examinations. The numbers in attendance at the end of the year were fifty-one at Waimate, thirty at Temuka, and twenty-one at Pleasant Point. The rural-science course as laid down for district high schools has been followed in the three schools. In December the Board received from the Minister notice of the re-establishment of the district high school at Geraldine. OTAGO. Extract from Report of Inspectors of Schools. In six of our district high schools the rural-science course is in full operation. At Port Chalmers and at Alexandra the course followed is in the main directed towards the requirements for the various public examinations. The scheme of rural science education in the district high schools has now completed its third year of operation. The work followed in these centres has been of a fairly comprehensive character, embracing, inter alia, theoretical and practical instruction in agriculture, chemistry, botany, physics, and physiology. In the well-equipped laboratories the pupils are discovering, through demonstration or experiment, new facts and principles (i.e., new so far as the pupils are concerned) or crystallizing into something more definite the knowledge they already possess. By this investigation of principles and by the application of them is cultivated that spirit of inquiry and the scientific method of work that are essential to advancement, particularly with regard to rural pursuits. Part of the outdoor experiment work in agriculture has been conducted in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture, This co-operative work has up to the present been mainly in the nature of variety trials of the various farm crops and fodder grasses. Manurial and spraying tests have also been conducted. Although not in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture, the outdoor work has included the propagation of plants by (a) cuttings, (b) budding, (c) grafting, the principles and practice of pruning, and the treatment of insect and fungoid pests. The success in science subjects of the great majority of the candidates from the district high schools at the Public Service, Scholarship, and Matriculation Examinations, though not the ultimate objective of the rural course, bespeaks the fact that, incidentally to cultivating the scientific attitude, it is possible to meet the requirements of pupils taking these subjects for examination purposes. Good work is being done in woodwork, cookery, dressmaking, and the pupils are showing a tendency to be self-assertive, practical, and independently constructive. At Tokomairiro the boys of the woodwork classes have completed the erection of a greenhouse for use in connection with the agricultural course, and a similar building is nearing completion at Balclutha. In all tho district high, schools English is receiving satisfactory treatment; Latin and French are intelligently taught; mathematics, both practical and theoretical, civics, and geography are suitably dealt with. During the strenuous national crisis that arose in August last advantage was taken of the opportunity that offered to arouse in the pupils a live interest in national and international affairs, and the following statement of the work done by the girls of Tokomairiro District High School shows very clearly what may be accomplished under the guidance of enthusiastic and patriotic teachers without in any way interfering with the ordinary work of the school. The work referred to was mainly done before and after school hours and in spare moments. [List of articles made not printed.] That girls of S5, S6, and S7 should be able to turn out these articles is a fine testimony to the excellent training in needlework and in the use of the sewing-machine imparted to the girls of our district high schools. The head teacher in a letter containing the above statement of work says, " The girls of S5, S6, and S7 have now such a command of the sewing-machine that they can sit down to any class of work represented in the abovementioned garments and work away without guidance from the teachers." In addition to the practical work already referred to, the school provided a fully equipped, horse for an officer of the First Expeditionary Force, handed over £1 ss. to the Ladies' Patriotic Committee, and, by weekly penny contributions up to the date of closing for Christmas holidays, raised £3 6s. for the Belgian Fund. This is surely a record in national service of which the sohool may well be proud. We are not in a position to give full details of similar work done by other district high schools, but we know that they too have done fine work in the same connection.

Layzell; Mrs. Hale. 1. Report of the Board of Governors. In presenting the annual report and statement of accounts of the Board of Governors for the year ended the 31st December, 1914, it will be seen that the school has made satisfactory progress, considering the effects resulting from the drought and war. In July last the school was inspected by Mr. T. H. Gill, M.A., who reported favourably on the excellent work being carried on by Mr. Lupton and his zealous staff. Miss I. D. Bruce, M.A., who is retiring from the teaching profession, resigned her position as first lady assistant teacher at the end of the first term. Her position was taken by Miss E. G. B. Lynch, M.A. Mr. W. J. Bishop also resigned the position of second assistant master in order to complete his University studies. He was succeeded by Mr. G. S. Thomson. The school attendance during the year has been satisfactory, and the examination results of pupils who entered for the public examinations proved good. Quite a number of the old High School boys have gone with the Expeditionary Forces to the war, several of them holding commissions. Mr. A. H. Mason, one of the two Governors who represent the Auckland College and Grammar School on the Board, resigned, owing to his removal to another district. Mr. E. 0. Weaver was appointed to succeed him on the Board. Messrs. W. A. Carruth and J. D. McKenzie, who represent the Auckland Education Board on the High School Board, were reappointed to their positions in April last. From the statement of accounts it will be seen that the financial position of the Board may be considered satisfactory, the only debt being £800 on the school-site, which the Board hopes in time to wipe out. ,1.

1. Report of the Board of Managers. I have the honour to submit for your information my report on the Hamilton High School for the year ended the 31st December, 1914. The past year in all respects has been a most successful one, the average attendance being about 160. It was found necessary during the year to add to the staff, and Miss T. Tompkins was appointed. The two additional class-rooms mentioned in my last report have now been completed, and will be available for the coming term. These will add greatly to the efficiency of the school, and will be appreciated by both teachers and scholars. The Board has not lost sight of the necessity for providing hostels and playing-fields, but deemed it best to defer consideration of these matters for the present. Financially, the Board has made slight progress, but the constant demand for extra furniture and additions and improvements constitutes a heavy drain on its resources. The Board desires to place on record its high appreciation of the splendid work done during the year- by the teachers and scholars, evidenced by the reports of the Education Department Inspector and by the results attained in the public examinations. In conclusion, the Board wishes to thank the officers of the Department, especially the Inspector General, for the kindly and courteous treatment which it has invariably received from them. Geo.

During the past year the Boys' School has made great progress in both the upper and lower schools, but, owing to the very unsatisfactory accommodation available, the Girls' School has experienced a slight falling-off. To remedy the want of accommodation at the Boys' School, owing to
E.—-6
35
the rapidly increasing numbers of both day boys and boarders, and to provide both boarding and class-room accommodation for the Girls' School on the site recently asquired at the Henui, the Board made arrangements to borrow £9,000 from the Public Trustee on the security of its endowments. It is hoped that the erection of the class-rooms will soon be commenced, as the plans are now awaiting the approval of the Department. The enlargement of the Boys' School is awaiting the result of negotiations to obtain some land from the Borough Council adjoining the school premises. During the year a large and well-equipped assembly hall and gymnasium has been erected. It was also found necessary, in order to provide for the rapidly increasing number of boarders at the Boys' School, to lease a large private residence adjoining the school-grounds. Another residence uear the Girls' Sohool was also leased to put the Girls' boarding-accommodation on a more satisfactory footing, and steps have also been taken to establish a girls' preparatory department at the beginning of next year, 1915. The following additions to and changes in the staff have been"made at the Boys' School during the year : Mr. Buxton was appointed commercial master, and Mr. Espiner junior assistant master. Mr. Fenton resigned the charge of the preparatory department, and Mr. Bottrill was appointed his successor, and, as the number of pupils had increased to forty-two, Mr. Diprose was appointed to assist him. Mr. Hall having resigned in August to go to the front with the First Expeditionary Force the position was not immediately filled, but Mr. H. V. Searle, B.Se, was appointed subsequently to take up his duties at the beginning of the year. The Lady Principal of the Girls' Sohool, Miss C. Df Grant, M.A., resigned after eighteen years' service, and Miss Hodges was appointed in her place. The school rifle team gained the great distinction of taking second place in the Empire Challenge Cup competition, being only one point behind the winners. Walter Bewley, Secretary. 2.

Report of Board ot' Governors. » 1 have the honour to report as follows for the year ending 31st December, 1914 : Attendance. —The numbers for the three terms were 180, 184, and 170, of whom 86 were boarders. Staff. —Miss 0. J. Gruar, 8.A., appointed to take charge of the lower department, entered on her duties at the beginning of the year. The place of Miss Cherrett, assistant music-teacher, absent on leave for the year, was filled by Miss E. Paton. Miss J. R. Currie returned from a visit to England, and resumed her duties in February. Miss F. J. Grant, who was a valued member of the staff for several years, resigned her position, and relinquished her duties at tho end of the year in order to take up an appointment elsewhere. Distinctions. —At the annual examinations one pupil passed the second, and one the first year terms examination in connection with Victoria University College, one passed the University Examination for the first section of the B.A. degree, and one passed with credit the Junior University Scholarship Examination. Four passed, three obtained a partial pass, and one completed the Matriculation Examination. Seven pupils gained Education Board Scholarships, and thirteen others qualified. The music department continues its success, as is evidenced by the fact that forty-four girls passed the Trinity College or Associated Board Examinations. Several prizes for cookery and needlework at the Agricultural and Pastoral Show were won by pupils of the College, and many excellent specimens of work in these subjects, and also in drawing and painting, were shown at the annual display in December. Building. —The music-rooms added to the assembly hall were completed early in the year. For several years the need for a science-room has been evident, and towards the end of the year the Board decided to undertake the erection of a suitable building. In conclusion, the Board desires to place on record its appreciation of the excellent work done during the year. W. J. Carson, Secretary. 2.

The Trustees feel gratified to report that the financial result for the year ended the 31st December, 1914, is satisfactory, and that the balance-sheet exhibits a fairly substantial surplus of income over expenditure. The income from fees has largely increased, and there is every prospect of this increase being maintained. On the other hand, the cost of catering has been much heavier, owing in part to the larger school, but mainly to the substantial advance in price of almost all the necessaries of life. ' On account of the change of headmaster the extraordinary expenditure has also been unusually high. A further increase in boarding-costs must for a time at least be anticipated, but next year the extraordinary charges will be less. Throughout the year a large sum has been spent in improving buildings and on the drainage of parts of the estate. This expenditure for the greater part will not recur, arid will immediately benefit the rental income. On the whole, it may be said that the immediate financial outlook of the Trust is a subject for congratulation.
36
E.—6
During the year an additional loan of £10,000 was obtained from the Australian Mutual Provident Society on terms identical with those of the original loan. The object of this new loan was to reduce the indebtedness of the Trust to the bank, which had advanced by way of overdraft the expenditure in connection with the new college not provided for by the original loan, and thereby to effect a .saving of interest, and also to enable the Trustees to go on with the development of the estate by the formation of new streets. Contracts were let for making Nixon Street and St. Hill Street, also Dublin Street, to connect the two former streets with Victoria Avenue. The work has made steady progress, and when completed will enable the Trustees to lease a large number of attractive and valuable residential sites with considerable advantage to the revenue of the Trust. The new streets will also give proper access to properties already leased on the expectation of the early formation of them. It is the intention of the Trustees to proceed with street-formation, as they are convinced that in certain localities, particularly in the vicinity of College Street, a good demand exists for buildingland. The advisability of this policy with a view to maintaining the continuous increase in estate income is greater because the business sites on our valuable avenue frontages arc still undisposed-of, though in the near future a large revenue from them may be confidently expected. It is hoped the Trustees will move at an early date towards completing the new college building scheme by the erection of the fourth house. The boarding-accommodation of the school, supplemented by the use of the Avenue Boardinghouse, is now taxed to its uttermost. Further,„it has become increasingly evident that a fourth house, admittedly very desirable for various reasons,-Would prove a financial success. Provided the necessary money can be borrowed on good terms, the present might prove an opportune time for building, not merely because a favourable contract would probably be obtained, but also because this course would provide employment for many workers at a time when a general stagnation in the building trade appears threatening. The headmaster's report for the year is as follows : — 1. Numbers. —The numbers of the school at the close of the year were: Boarders, 172; day boys, 47 : total, 219. The numbers for the same term of 1913 were: Boarders, 162 ; day boys, 34: total, 196. 2. School-work— The industry of the school has been very satisfactory, and the general interest in intellectual studies has been growing steadily. The teaching of agricultural science has been introduced during the year, and has aroused considerable interest among the boys. It is intended gradually to extend the instruction in this subject, but care will be taken that there is always a basis of sound general education. The results of the Matriculation Examination (December, 1914) were: Passed, 14 ; completed the examination, 1 ; partially passed, 3; failed, 10. In the Junior University Scholarship Examination one pupil gained a Senior National Scholarship ; two passed with credit; four qualified for Matriculation. The absence of Mr. Watson from ill health, of Mr. Neame on leave, of Mr. Long on military service, has thrown on the staff extra work, which has been cheerfully and efficiently carried out. 3. Improved Accommodation. —The carpentering class has built a small cricket pavilion, and the printing class has done good and useful work. Both these industries have been moved into more spacious and convenient quarters in what was formerly the school laundry. The new equipment of the chemistry laboratory has been completed. A beginning has been made in reorganizing the school museum. 4. Cadet Corps. —Owing to the impossibility of securing instructors, the week's military camp which had been arranged for October had to be abandoned. Increased time and attention has, however, been given to the Cadet Corps, with the result that the efficiency and enthusiasm, of the Cadets is steadily increasing. 5. Health. —The health of the school has been remarkably good. 6. Improvements still required.—The need of a fourth large boardinghouse is increasingly evident. The day boys' accommodation, organization, and supervision have been much improved in the past year, but additional accommodation for them out of school hours is still desirable. The building of a fourth house would set free two rooms for the use of day boys. A block of music-rooms is also urgently required ; our present arrangements for our forty to fifty music-pupils are not satisfactory for the music-teachers, and are disturbing to the rest of the schoolwork. The institution of some form of pension or deferred-pay scheme for masters ought also to be considered at once, and the scheme should be put into operation as soon as our finances will permit. Hugh Latter, Headmaster. The principal event of the school year was the transference of the reins of government from Mr. Dove, whose resignation took effect at the end of the first term, to Mr. Latter. The Trustees' appreciation of Mr. Dove's work was expressed in their last annual report, but it ought to be added that the school roll of the last term of his headmastership showed a record number of boarders. Under Mr. Latter the prosperity of the school has been fully maintained, and the Trustees are confident that no effort is being spared to continue the development of the school on the best modern educational lines. During the year the Trustees have seen their way to expend a considerable sum in laboratory equipment, in providing better accommodation for the day boys, and in other mi nor but useful improvements. They have also approved the idea of setting apart a portion of the estate to be used for practical work in connection with the agricultural-science teaching begun last year. It merits record that the school is worthily upholding its traditions in the present national crisis. At the outbreak of the war three boys left the school to serve in the Army, and three of the assistant masters have temporarily left the school to serve in the Army. The places of the three absent masters
37
B.—o
38
are being kept open for them, and the Trustees are paying them so-much of their salary as will make their pay equal to the salary they were receiving at their departure. At the end of the year there were approximately one hundred and fifty old boys with the troops in Egypt, while others were serving the Empire on the western front in Europe. Many old boys, it is known, enlisted in England, some of whom had journeyed for that purpose from Canada, the United States, the Argentine, and India. The Education Act, 1914, was considered by the Board, and unavailing efforts were made while it was before Parliament to have it amended in points where it seemed unfairly to affect the school. The result of this measure will, however, be better gauged after some experience has been had of its working. The personnel of the Board remained unchanged. Mr. R. L. Levin, whose term expired during the year was reappointed. During Mr. Gifford Marshall's absence in England, Mr. J. W. Marshall acted on the Board as his attorney. At the annual meeting Mr. A. G. Bignall was re-elected Chairman for the ensuing year. All the buildings and improvements on tho estate are in good order. The various new residences being erected by tenants continue to improve in value and type. The work and interests of the Trust continue to be faithfully performed and efficiently conserved by the Secretary, Mr. J. P. Williamson. A. C. Bignall, Chairman. 2.

Board. —Of the three members who retired by rotation at the end of 1913, two were reappointed, •''and the third, Mr. R. McNab, having left the district, declined nomination. Mr. W. F. Durward was elected in his place. Staff. —At the beginning of the year three assistants left—Miss Haseldean, Mr. L. Jones, and Mr. G. A. Lundie. Their places were taken by Miss H. Park, B.A. ; Mr. H. D. Skinner, B.A. ; and Mr. J. Mawsou, M.A. The last of these, however, resigned his position in November. Buildings. —These arein good repair. The roof and all the outside woodwork of the school were repainted during the year. College House. —That there was an average roll of thirty-four boarders is conclusive proof that there is the need of a boardinghouse in connection with the school. The Board, through lack of funds, have been unable to take over the buildings from Mr. Vernon, but trust with some help from the Department to do so at no distant date. Lower School. —At the request of a number of parents the Board opened a lower school (for boys) at the beginning of the year, and appointed Mr. A. H. Morgan as the teacher in charge. The average roll number for the year was twenty. Work. —The work of the school still continues to be highly satisfactory, and good passes were obtained at the various examinations. The agricultural course continues to be developed, and it is expected that next year experimental work will be enabled to be carried on to a much greater extent. Finance. —The balance-sheet shows that we, ended the year under a debit balance of over £200. However, if all the grants had been paid up this would have been changed into a small credit balance.

Harding ;M. Higgins ; Mr. P. S. Hawkins. I. Report of the Board of Governors. The Governors of the Gisborne High School have the honour to report that during the year the school has been carried on in an efficient manner. Changes on Staff.—The, only change on the staff was in respect of Mr. A. R. Gatland, 8.A., who resigned to take up a position on the staff of the Auckland Grammar School, and Mr. P. Edmondson, 8.A., was appointed in his stead. Inspection- The school was inspected by T. H. Gill, Esq., M.A., LL.B., the Department's Inspector, on the 12th, 13th, and 14th August. In his report Mr. Gill expressed himself as] well pleased with the work, tone, and discipline of the school. Attendance. —The roll numbers for the year were as follows : First term, 148 ; second term, 154 ; third term, 146. The great majority of the pupils attend with commendable regularity, a special word of praise being due to those who ride long distances to and from school. Still, however, some parents allow their children to stay away from school for wholly insufficient reasons. Physical Training- This phase of school activity is somewhat handicapped by the want of a gymnasium, but the governing body hopes, at an early date, to take steps to erect a suitable building. In addition to their cadet work the boys play cricket and football, while the girls take physical exercises and play hockey, tennis, and basket-ball. A tennis-court is in course of construction in the boys' playground. The Rectory—The High School Rectory, under the control of the Rector and Mrs. Foote, continues to provide an excellent home for an increasing number of boys. In the near future it is expected that additional buildings will be required to accommodate the growing numbers. Girls' Hostel. —As intimated in our report last year, the Board, in order to test the question of the advisability of establishing a girl's hostel, rented a house for the purpose, which was placed under the supervision of Miss Barr, M.A., senior mistress, assisted by Miss Harding, junior mistress. Owing to its not having been started before the school reopened after the midsummer vacation the attendance was not large, as parents had made other arrangements. However, six girls entered as boarders, and four others take lunch, the result, whilst showing a debit balance, being such as to encourage the Governors to make permanent provision on a larger scale. Not having a suitable site the Board purchased the goodwill of the lease of a primary-school reserve, and entered into negotiations with the Land Board for an exchange of same for one of the secondary reserves vested in the High School Board. The Lands and Education Departments met the Board fairly, and the exchange was duly approved. It was found, however, that legislation was required to give effect to the exchange, and we hope this will be given effect to during the next session of Parliament. In the meantime the Board had plans prepared, and a contract has been let for a building to aooommodate twenty girls, together with the necessary teachers and servants. It is hoped that the building will be ready for occupation in May next. We trust parents and others resident in the country ■districts will realize that as good advantages are to be had in Gisborne, both as regards education and boarding-accommodation, as elsewhere. Examination Results. —The school continues to secure a large number of successes at the public examinations. E. H. Mann, Chairman. W. Morgan, Secretan'.

Report of the Board of Governors. I have the honour to report as follows on the work of the Marlborough High School for the year ending 31st December, 1914 : — The school roll for the past year has maintained its normal numbers. The number of new pupils enrolled was the same for girls and boys, but on the total roll there was a preponderance of boys. Miss Jenkins, M.A., a former pupil of the school, joined the staff at the beginning of the year, and Mr. Rands, M.A., B.Se, at the close of the first term, the latter taking the place of Mr. Penlington. Eleven pupils qualified for Matriculation, and two kept first-year terms under the regulations for exemption from, attendance at University lectures. In August the school was inspected by Mr. Gill and Mr. Cresswoll. The curriculum remains as in former years, but agriculture is now made an alternative subject to French, instead of to Latin as previously. In connection with the practical work in agriculture, we are indebted to the Department of Agriculture and to local merchants for donations of manures and seeds. The abnormally dry season, however, interfered seriously with the experiments. As in previous years, the school gave an exhibition of milk-testing at the annual Agricultural and Pastoral Association's show, and some of the boys acted as junior stewards in connection with the stock and produce exhibits. '*'" During the first term, the Cadets held a three-days camp, and were inspected by Colonel Smythe. In May they took part in the inspection parade before. General Hamilton. At the end of November Captain Goulding, who had been in command of the corps for eight years, having offered his services to the Defence Department, was granted leave of absence and proceeded to Trentham.

The Staff. —Boys' College : During the year Mr. Archey left to take the position of assistant curator at the Canterbury Museum ; and Messrs. Malthus and Nelson joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. The vacancies were filled by the appointment of Messrs. J. M. Morrison, C. P. Worley, and A. Thomson, the latter as master in charge of the lower school. Girls' College : Mrs. Hamilton resigned the matronship, and Miss Beaumont was appointed to fill the vacancy. ■ Examinations. —Boys' College : The following are the results obtained in the public examinations held in December and January last: One student gained a Junior University Scholarship, taking .She fourth place, and three others obtained " credit" in the same examination. Four passed the Public Service Senior in all subjects, two in four subjects, one in three, and nine in two. The Public Service Entrance Examination was passed by twenty-five, of whom thirteen obtained credit, the Intermediate by twenty-four, in seven cases with credit. Twelve passed the Matriculation Examination, two completed, and one boy was granted a partial pass. One undergraduate pupil passed the first year's " terms."

Five passed the Senior Public Service Examination, gaining among them the highest places in English, French, and hygiene. Thirty-six obtained the senior free place, for extension, and ten the junior free place. The war in Europe has caused many old boys to volunteer for the front, amongst them there have been many casualties, ajid four deaths. The girls produced at the School of Music a very effective and well-staged entertainment, " The Masque of Empire," which realized for the Belgian and other sufferers by the war the sum of £93 Is. 2.

RANGIORA HIGH SCHOOL. Staff. Messrs. R, Oresswell, M.A. ; S. A. Clark, B.A. : A. K. Rule ; Misses M. ('. Reynolds, M.A. ; Iv A. Viokery, B.A. I. Report of the Board of Governors. It affords me pleasure to have again to submit a very satisfactory report in connection with the past year's work at this High School ; this in spite of the fact that the Principal was absent for. part of the year as Acting Secondary Schools Inspector for the Education Department. The work, however, was admirably carried on by the first assistant master, as Acting-Principal. At the various annual examinations the school worthily upheld its reputation, a high percentage of the pupils having passed, and a number with credit. The gratifying success of Mr. H. L. Richards, M.A., in winning the first Rhodes Scholarship for Canterbury has been an excellent advertisement for this school, at which he was for upwards of five years a scholar. The inspection report on the school was again a good one, the agricultural work being specially commended. The High School Defence Cadets have again won the "Victory" Shield. The school boardinghouse has proved a great boon. No similar establishment could be run at a lower tariff or on more satisfactory lines. Robert Ball, Chairman. 2.

The roll number of the school has slightly increased, but considering the opportunities for free secondary education now offered, it appears to me that more should be ready to take advantage of them, but too many parents think that a year or possibly two is quite long enough for a boy to stay at a secondary school to get a " finishing oil." When the advantages of a secondary school education are more fully recognized, then this period of school life will be much longer.

The results of the public and other examinations at the close of the year were not quite on a par with those of the previous year; one boy obtained a Senior National Scholarship and four were in the credit list. Five obtained Senior Board of Education Scholarships, and three obtained Junior ones. Of those who but lately have gone to the University one obtained a double first, two obtained second-class honours, one obtained a Senior University Scholarship, and another a Research Scholarship. These, with the successes of old boys that have been given in the past prove that a very sound basis is laid during school life to enable the student thoroughly to profit by higher education. An important step in connection with the school was taken at the beginning of this year namely, the establishment of a hostel or boardinghouse. For a long time it has been felt that some official boardinghouse ought to be established, so that boys living away from home might be under supervision after school hours. Now and again a boy of considerable promise had failed to keep up to the mark in consequence of a want of this supervision and help. To try and remedy this the hostel has been established tentatively for two years, when it is hoped that it will have become so well known that the Board will be encouraged to make it a permanent department of the school. As is natural, the present war has appealed to the past pupils of the school, and as in England thousands of public-school men have flocked to support the nation, so in New Zealand each school is sending its quota. Of the Christchurch Boys' High Sohool old pupils an incomplete list gives 1,70 at the front, of whom four have given their lives. In the firing for the Imperial Challenge Shield the Cadet Corps was first in Now Zealand, and twenty-second of the six hundred teams who compared from among the secondary schools Of the Empire. Girls' School. Last year it was thought that the attendance at the Girls' High School was quite high enough, but the influx of new scholars this year has rendered necessary the appointment of additional teachers. Personally,- I hope that the attendance will not go beyond the present numbers, for a time comes when it is impossible for the headmistress of a large school to have the individual personal knowledge of each pupil, and thus one of the advantages of the school is lost. This cannot happen with our present numbers, which quite fill the school, but if the question of increased accommodation conies forward in a few years time it will be then the time for the Board to decide whether the advantage of numbers outweighs the advantage of personal knowledge. In the public examination three pupils were placed in the credit list, and though the Gammack Scholarship was offered in order of merit to each only one was found, to accept, the reason being that the candidates were young enough to sit again next year for Junior University Scholarships. During the last few years comparatively few have been qualified to sit for the Junior University Scholarships, owing to the fact that as soon as girls at this school have passed for Matriculation they are taken as pupil-teachers at the primary schools. Thus comparatively few pupils are to be found in the highest form, Upper VI, from which form the best candidates would be chosen for the scholarship examinations. In the other examinations sixteen matriculated, seven won Education Board Senior Scholarships, two won Junior Nationals, and three Education Board Junior Scholarships. The necessities of the times have impressed on the girls the need of working for the nation. They have been working hard for the various funds that need help for the sick and wounded, and have voluntarily abandoned their usual terminal entertainment in order that more time and funds may .* be available for the schemes in hand. I have referred elsewhere to the passing of the Bill that enabled the salaries of the staff to be raised to something near the amount proportionate to the duties entailed. It was necessary, however, so to arrange the increases that it will take some time before the maximum is reached. I am sorry to have to record that Miss Crosby, who had been on the staff for ten years, was obliged, owing to ill health, to resign her position, a position that she had filled with ability and earnestness. 2. Report of the Headmaster of the Boys' School. The roll number for the third term was 198, including twelve, in the Preparatory class. The number of senior free-place holders was 59, of junior free-place holders 93, and of paying pupils 56. There were in the third term 15 boys holding Senior Board Scholarships, 6 holding Junior Board Scholarships, and 2 holding Junior National Scholarships. 142 boys took the full course including Latin ; 44 boys omitted Latiu. The classes have been renamed, those in their second year being in the Fourths—viz., IVa, IVb, IVc ; all the first-year boys are in TIIa, lIIb, and lIIc. The highest classes are Upper VI (junior University Scholarship standard), Lower VI (slightly above Matriculation Standard), and V. There is an option of woodwork and book-keeping in place of Latin, and of either history or drawing in place of French. No Greek has been taught this year ;it is usually alternative with science. Mr. J. R. Montgomery, late headmaster of Geraldine School, and formerly assistant master at Otago Boys' High School, has been appointed to the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. B. K. S. Lawrence. The new buildings have been a great aid to the more effective teaching of practical science and the better working of the school. Mr. D. B. Macleod has been appointed science demonstrator, and Mr. L. J. Darwin (both of Canterbury College) has taken this year the Middle VI, mathematics, and a class in heat. In December last two boys won Senior National Scholarships, four were placed on the Credit List, and four qualified in the Junior Scholarship Examination for Matriculation. Ten boys passed
Br- 6:
Matriculation or allied examinations, and three obtained a partial pass. Three boys won Senior Education Board Scholarships. Among old boys Mr. C. M. Stubbs obtained his D.Sc. at Liverpool, and Mr. D. H. Floranee the same degree at Manchester. Mr. J. V. Wilson attained the rare distinction of winning three Senior University Scholarships— viz., for Latin, Greek, and history ; Mr. G. S. Lambie obtained first-class honours at the New Zealand University in mental science ; Mr, L. Knight a second in Greek and French ; Mr. C. S. Marshall a double second viz., in modern languages and political, science; Mr. R. H. 1). Broadhead obtained a first-class, Division 1, in the Modern Language Tripos at Cambridge ; and Mr, R. E. Bevan-Brown a second class, Division T, Classical. Tripos, Cambridge ; Messrs. A. 0. Ponder and R. K. Goodser won exhibitions at Canterbury College. Mr. R. Speight has been appointed Curator of the Museum, and Mr. H. D. Broadhead locum tenens Professor of Classics at Canterbury College, The Cadet Corps, football, and cricket have flourished this year. A tennis-court adjacent to the school has been provided, and a rowing crew has been trained and taken part in an inter-school contest. The school has had visits from His Excellency the Governor, Earl Grey, Sir Hartmann Just, Dr, Sheldon, Professor Dixon, and Sir Ernest Rutherford. Nearly all these have addressed the boys. In the winter short lectures once a week, often illustrated, were given— e.g., on the " Natural History of the Port Hills," on " Landmarks of Ancient World History," &c. At least 112 old boys are taking part in the war, including L 3 from England or other colonies; doubtless, there are others whose names are not yet known. One (Lieutenant 0. Garsia) has already died of wounds. Talks and lessons on the history and origin of the war, and on the geography and history of the European nations involved, have been given from time to time, and, in particular, it has been shown how honour and a stern sense of duty compelled England to take her part. 3. Report ok the Lady Principal of the Girls' School. When the school year began there was an unusually large influx of new pupils, no less than 135 presenting themselves for admittance. The total roll for the year is 328, an advance of 68 over that of 1913. The rolls for the respective terms were first term, 311; second term; 306; third term, 297. Average roll, 306 ; and average attendance, 286. To meet the larger numbers Miss A. J. McKee and Miss B. D. Graham, M.A., were appointed as temporary assistant teachers for the year, and Mrs. Longton, previously for many years on the staff, returned to fill Miss Sheard's place during the remainder of her term of leave of absence. On account of ill health Miss E. Crosby was granted twelve months' leave of absence from the Ist June, her work meanwhile being taken by Miss D. Bone. The school was officially inspected by Mr. T. H. Gill and Mr. T. R. Oresswell, and the technical classes by Mr. Isaac. The preparatory class, Standard VI, was examined by Mr. J. B. Mayne. All passed the standard, six receiving proficiency certificates, one a certificate of competency. Fourteen pupils have resided at the authorized school boardinghouse, the full number that can be taken in the present quarters. Temporary homes were found for others who are waiting for admission. The health of all the girls in residence has been extremely good, and (heir conduct perfectly satisfactory. The playground has been levelled, and an asphalt tennis-court laid down. The general health of the whole school has been good. The girls have taken a wholesome interest in games and school institutions. They hold the Senior Hockey Shield offered for competition by the Christchurch Secondary Schools Hockey Association, and eight pupils gained the Diploma of the Royal Life-saving Society for Proficiency in Life-saving and Resuscitation. During the year the school was visited by His Excellency Lord Liverpool, the Hon. J. Allen (Minister of Education), and the Inspector-General (Mr. G. Hogben), who paid a brief farewell visit in his official capacity. The girls were also addressed by Professor Boys-Smith of Otago University, and by Dr. Blackmore, Medical Director of the Christchurch Hospital. The examination results of the year are not yet available. 4. Work of the Highest and Lowest Classes. Boys' School.

KxTRACT FROM THE ACTING HEADMASTER'S REPORT. The school has been through a period of trial and experiment, which, to my mind, is of very great value. It has shown us that it is not-possible to imprint on us the direct organization of a great English public school without paving due regard to local conditions and customs. It has shown us that, whatever shortcomings we may have had in the past, a very large amount of our work has been carried out on right lines; and there is no doubt in the minds of those ol us familiar with past methods and traditions that many of them will have to find a place again permanently in our work. It is not necessary lor me to show here that in the past the school has been entirely moulded by men. from the best of English public schools with English University training and experience. After over sixty years of this should we not, therefore, have substantially all the essential parts of a good English school with our own traditions and modifications to suit our very different circumstances ? During the last two terms work has been carried on with as little change as possible, but, with an unsettled staff, many of whom are working on lines unfamiliar to them, certain parts of the work have undoubtedly suffered.' in spite of the urgent necessity for rearrangement in some directions the best interests of the school have, 1 think, been served by a period of quiet work, and necessary alterations will doubtless be made before next term begins. In such a case, however, as that of the recently introduced subject of civics, we had to merge it into its proper place in the teaching of history and English, and remove it as a special subject from the school syllabus. Numberless opportunities occur for masters to impress on boys the elementary notions of duty and government that one might class under the head of civics ; and, taken as a whole, a large number of the problems that confront a boy later "'* on in the outside world are found on a small scale in a school, and a boy who takes a full part in all the activities provided, for in a school of this description is well equipped by the time he leaves, especially if he. rises to the status of a senior boy or a prefect. I would here like to mention that the practice of taking away boys at an early age from school when they are just developing is becoming much too common for them to derive full benefit from their school life. The military and engineering side has so far not justified its existence, as provision can be made, and has been made in the past, for boys going in for such professions without attempting to make a separate branch of the school, especially with such numbers as we have. Since last commemoration Mr. Napier has left to take up work at Otago University ; his place wa« then taken temporally by Mr. H. V. Rowe, and he was succeeded by Mr. J. F. D. White. Mr. Fell arrived to take over the modern languages at the beginning of the second term, and since then we have managed to keep the staff unchanged. Mr. Matthews has gone into the schoolhouse as house tutor to assist Mr. Carter, who has taken charge of the schoolhouse at the request of the governing body during the last two terms. Mr. Marshall, of Canterbury College, remained to assist us for the rest of the year, filling the vacancy caused by the departure of Mr. Hudson, who left on a visit to England in May. The absence of three members of the permanent staff at the same time has put a severe strain on the teaching resources of the school, and it is impossible to secure the highest efficiency under such conditions. The lower school has resumed for the time being its status quo, and is still an integral part of the school. Mr. Jenkins has had a very successful year then!, and has imprinted vigorously on the younger ones many of the habits and ideas that make them so soon fit'into their places in the upper school. With regard to the lower school, I am sure boys are admitted to it while too young, and I hope to see the standard as well as the age of admission raised. The peicentage of passes last year was approximately the same as that of the previous year, but the conditions have been so different in the past that a fair comparison cannot be instituted. In addition to the University Scholarship and Matriculation successes, one pupil was awarded an Agricultural Scholarship at Lincoln College, and two passed into Sandhurst. There have been numerous academic successes among ex-pupils of the College.

Into the various outdoor pursuits plenty of life lias been infused, both cricket and football having had a large measure of success. The Cadets have had a strenuous year. The camp in the first term with its ambitious programme of work, gave the recruits a good start, and the subsequent steady work of Captain Farthing, Mr. Lambie, and Mr. Lang has produced a very efficient set of young soldiers. The only big improvement this year is the addition of a new fives-court, the cost of which is being defrayed by the Rhodes Fund. This will be specially reserved for the use of smaller boys. The question of roofing the fives-courts has been postponed, as funds are not available. The proposed inspection of the school by the Education Department was not carried out for obvious reasons, but we were visited by the Inspector-General, who examined the work of the Sixth Form more particularly. As a, result of this two pupils were awarded higher leaving certificates, which carry with I hem University bursaries, and are accepted in lieu of entrance and other examinations by various Universities and associations. Two others well qualified, otherwise could not obtain them as they do Greek instead of science. Amongst other visitors during the year were Sir Hartmann Just, Professor Dixon, Sir Ernest Rutherford, and Professor Herring, one of our old. boys. During the year His Excellency the Governor honoured the school by asking no less than three of its members to assist him as A.D.C. During the year the Regulations for Junior Somes and Entrance Scholarships have been extended to meet altered conditions, and the result, especially of the latter, has proved the wisdom of the change. With regard to the particular branches of the sehoolwork, 1 would call attention to the following :— Mathematics. —At the beginning of the year alterations were made in the organization of the mathematical, teaching of the school with a view to increased efficiency in this subject, but tho results which should have followed have been only partially achieved, owing to the changes of masters which had to be made during the year, and to the lack of experience in mathematical teaching of some of those to whom the new sets were entrusted ; still, much good work has been done, and the recent examinations have shown that the school possesses many boys of promise on the mathematical side who may be • expected to do very creditably later on. English. --The school was examined throughout at the midyear examination, and showed fairly satisfactory work in English. Certain weaknesses in geography and history text-books were made evident, and steps were taken to remedy these faults and to improve the composition. During the final examinations of this month all forms below the Matriculation Class have been examined in composition, grammar, history, and geography. Composition and grammar have made satisfactory improvement, but the several, changes of the staff and in the time-table have materially affected some of the lower forms. Tho science work was perhaps cut up more than any other subject but it is beginning to make headway again. French. —There has been really satisfactory progress in the two bottom forms of the upper school. In the rest of the school, owing to unexpected changes that were made in th - organization of the forms in the first term of the year, the improvement which had begun to be apparent was swept out of existence, and since then we have been struggling on under conditions which render progress almost impossible. Our greatest difficulty at the present time is that there are no less than five forms in the school to which beginners in French may have to be posted. The changes mentioned did not affect the third forms, and hence the satisfactory improvement ; at any rate, it is an improvement in the right place, and will in time be felt all the way up the School. Latin.- —ln this work the normal rate of progress has been maintained, but the absence, of special •* facilities for assisting new-comers in Latin has handicapped much of the work in the lower forms. Greek. —Steady work has been done, but rendered difficult by the fact that boys begin at all ages. The erection of the much-delayed Hare Memorial Building will lie proceeded with before long. The Old Boys' Association have taken definitive steps in the matter, and I hope to see a brisk building programme initiated early next year to provide the much-needed class-rooms and laboratories. No report at this time would be complete without a reference to the war. Any doubts as to whether this school is doing its duty in turning out true citizens should be set at rest when we look at the last pages of the Register, and find that, as far as we know at present, at least one hundred and fifty of our old boys have taken up arms for their country. There must be many more, and there are several already in the Army and Navy who are doubtless near the front, but we have no direct news of them as yet. Wo have amongst them a captain of the "Dreadnought," J. E. T. Harper; the colonel in command of the troops at Samoa, C. Harcoui-t Turner ; many captains and lieutenants in the Regular Forces; and majors, captains, and lieutenants in the Expeditionary Forces; and last, but not least, there are non-coms, and privates in dozens. [, who know them all, can safely say that this school has given of her very best. We are all now looking forward to a long period of prosperity under our new headmaster. With his ripe experience to guide us, and the very suitable raw material that I see at the back to work on we, shall mould it into a finished product as good, and. perhaps better, than we have in the past.

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, W. T. Lill, and Alexander Drummond. The Board held seventeen meetings, the average attendance being six. The Board regrets the loss of the valuable services of Mr. Hugo Friedlander, whose place was filled by the appointment of Mr. A. Drummiond. Mr. J. A. Gordon, M.A., second assistant, resigned in May in order to visit England. He was succeeded by Mr. F. F. Adamson, M.A., who resigned in the end of November. Both these gentlemen are now serving with the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces in Egypt. Mr. G. C. Beattie, B.Se, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Adamson. During the year the Board decided to extend the curriculum by the introduction of a full course in home science for girls, and in December appointed Miss R. Rosevear (diploma in home science, Otago University) as teacher of this subject. He school roll was 129 —seventy-seven boys and fifty-two girls. The enrolment of new pupils was forty-nine —thirty boys and nineteen girls. There were six fee-paying pupils. There were in attendance ten scholarship-holders—two Junior National, three Senior Education Board, and five Junior Education Board ; and a very good average attendance was maintained throughout the year. The diligence, progress, and tone of the pupils continue to be very satisfactory. The various sohool courses were maintained as usual. It is hoped that the recommendation of the Board of Agriculture to accept the Board of Governors' offer of a school reserve of 120 acres for the purposes of an experimental farm will result in a considerable extension of the benefits of agricultural education to the boys, and that an increasingly large number of country boys will thereby be attracted to the sohool. These advantages to country boys will be greatly enhanced by the erection of the school rectory, just completed. The foundation-stone was laid by the Hon. the Minister of Education on Monday, the 14th September, and the completed building is now ready for the accommodation of boarders. There is accommodation for from twenty-five to thirty boys, and the building is capable of considerable extension. It is a handsome and. well-equipped building, well suited in every way for its purpose, and the Board feels that the district is to be congratulated on the possession of school buildings complete in all respects for the educational needs of this large district. The school was visited in September by Messrs. Gill and Cresswell, Secondary-school Inspectors, who forwarded a very satisfactory report on the working of the school. The Board desires to express its gratification at the passing of the Education Act of 1914, which by its increased financial benefits to secondary schools enables much-needed additions to be made to the salaries of the teachers, and also provides for an increase of staff. The examination results of the year are as follows : One candidate gained a Senior National Scholarship, and one passed the examination with credit, three candidates passed Matriculation, and one gained a partial pass ; five candidates passed the Public Service Entrance Examination, two with credit; eleven candidates passed the Senior Education Board Scholarship Examinations, two with credit; one passed the Senior Free Place intermediate, one the Junior Scholarship Examination, and one the Junior Free Place ; eighteen candidates were awarded senior free places without examination, while twelve gained an extension of junior free places for a third year.

I have the honour to forward the following general report of the Board of Governors, Otago Boys' and Girls' High Schools for year ending 31st December, 1914 : — The average attendance for the year was 367 at the Boys' School and 200 at the Girls'. The record of the schools for the year has been of a very satisfactory character. The Department's Inspectors, Messrs. T. H. Gill and T. R. Cresswell, inspected both schools towards the end of the year, and reported favourably thereon. The boarding establishment at the Rectory under the charge of Mr. F. H. Campbell has been well filled, and the work done there and attention to boarders continues to give entire satisfaction to the Board and to the parents of pupils in attendance. The Board at its last meeting passed a resolution complimenting Mr. Campbell on. his able management. The number of boys accommodated aj; the house was 39. Mr. 0. M. Littlejohn, M.A., joined the staff of the Boys' School at the beginning of the year, and Miss E. J. Pegg, M.A., that of the Girls' School. Mr. W. L. Phillips at the same time entered on his duties as Physical Instructor at both schools. The new science building, completed at the beginning of 1914, has proved of great value to the Boys' School. This building was named the " Shand Building" in honour of Dr. Shand, C.M.G., a former valued member of the Board for many years, and whose death during the year I have with regret to record. A new shelter-shed, in place of old dilapidated buildings, and the Rector's residence were completed during the year. At the Girls' School the assembly hall has reached completion, and is a valuable addition to the school. The enrolment (396) at the Boys' School for 1914 was a record in the history of the school, while. that at the Girls' School (222) was well over the average. It is with deep regret that I have to record the death of the Hon. Thomas Fergus. Mr. Fergus had been a member of the Board for nearly eleven years, and was Chairman at the time of his death. T. K. Sidey, Chairman. 2. Work of the Hiohest and Lowest Classics. Boys' School.

I have the honour, on behalf of the above Board, to submit the following report for the year ending 31st December, 1914 :— The Board. —At the end. of the year the Board members were --Messrs. William Macalister, 8.A., LL.B., and W. N. Stirling, representing the Education Board; Messrs. R. A. Anderson and A. F. Hawke, appointed by the Governor, and His Worship the Mayor, Mr. D. Macfarlanc. In January Mr. Macalister was re-elected Chairman. The Board held twelve meetings during the year, the average attendance of members being 34. Teaching Staffs and, Salaries .—The staff of the Boys' School at the end of the year was the same as for the previous year, except that Mr. A. S. Reid replaced Mr. P. Edmondson, 8.A., who left for Gisborne in June. Of the Girls' School staff, Misses E. Law, M.A.., and V. C. Farmie, M.A., resigned early in the year, their places being filled by the appointment of Miss Henrietta Smith, M.A., and Miss Alice Watt, B.A. At the end of the year Mr. W. Cody, B.Se, was appointed as an additional assistant in the Boys' School, to begin duties in February, 1915. This extra assistant was necessary owing to the increased roll number. The new Education Act provides for increased payments to the Board as capitation for free pupils, but requires in return the payment of increased salaries to the teachers, and the Board welcomes the changes thus made, more especially as it has felt that the teachers, with their high academic qualifications, really deserve better remuneration for their services. The salaries of all the assistants were increased during the year. Attendance. —The average attendances for the year were—Boys, 173; Girls, .145; total, 318. The numbers for 1913 were —Boys, 148 ; girls, 140 : total, 288. The numbers of new pupils enrolled during the year were—Boys, 86 ; girls, 04 : total, 150 ; which compare favourably with the numbers for the previous year-—-52, 53, and 105 respectively. These increases are gratifying to the Board and show that parents appreciate the work done in the schools, and the value of a good secondary education.

Successes of Pupils. —At the public examinations held towards the end of the year the following successes were gained by pupils of the Boys' School : Fourteen matriculated, of whom four gained oredit in the University Entrance Scholarship Examination ; in the Public Service Entrance and Senior Scholarship Examinations forty-two passes were obtained, thirteen with credit; one Junior Board and four Senior Board Scholarships were won, including the first place in the latter. Twentynine boys were granted senior free places as the result of the visit of the Inspectors in October. Among old boys the following successes may be mentioned : F. Adamson, L. Wild, and 0. Wild gained their M.A. degrees with honours; B. H. Gilmour, T. R. Ritchie, T. Wyllic, and W. Brownlie gained their medical degrees—the first two at Otago, the tnird at Glasgow, and the fourth at Edinburgh University ; R. Plawke was gold-medallist at Lincoln Agricultural College, the third Southlander in succession to win the sole annual honour ; J. P. Hewatjgained the senior scholarship foriNew Zealand in English (The Tinline Scholarship), and W. T. Cody the senior in electricity; while F. W. Reid was appointed Registrar of the Adelaide School of Mines. It is worthy of mention that in the terms results of last session of Otago University there were thejnames of some forty old boys, of whom twelve succeeded in winning first places in fifteen subjects. A farge number of old boys are serving either with British, troops on the Continent or with the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. A goodly number hold commissions in the Royal Army Medical Corps, or in regiments of horse, foot, or artillery, while others are happy in serving their country in a humbler capacity as privates. The following are the examination results for the Girls' School for the end of the year : Senior free places awarded on visit of Inspector, thirty ; Senior Board Scholarship Examination pas*ses, seventeen places out of thirty-three and six scholarships out of eleven gained by the girls ; Matriculation, seven full passes and two partial passes ; Junior University Scholarship Examination, the only candidate from the school on her first attempt passed with credit, and gained the highest place in Southland ; Class D Examination, 1914, two full passes (one with distinction), and three partial passes ; also a Women's Scholarship, Otago University, and a bursary were gained by girls from the school. Buildings. —With the increased attendance and. the increased staffing required by the new Act both sohools are somewhat overcrowded, more especially the Boys' School, where one or two more class-rooms are urgently needed. The Board, however, has in view tin; proposal to sell the present buildings and site, which in many ways are unsuited for a secondary school, and to erect a new school on the fine site of over 16 acres recently acquired at Gladstone. Under the circumstances the Board has made only temporary provision for an extra class-room for the boys till the present crisis through which the nation is passing is over. The Board has also decided to erect a new laboratory for the girls, because of tin; present arrangements, which necessitate the sending of the girls to the Technical College for practical scientific work, are unsatisfactory, and should be improved upon as soon as possible. The Government renewed the grant previously made for a girls' hostel, and made it available for boardinghouses for both girls and boys, and plans for these buildings wore, in course of preparation in July, when the nation was plunged into the present titanic struggle, which, has necessitated the reduction of all expenditure as much as possible. Consequently, at the request of the Minister of Education, the Board has decided to postpone further the erection of the much-needed boardinghouses. Inspection. -Both schools were inspected by Messrs. Gili and Cresswell in October, and. in their reports these gentlemen speak in complimentary language of the methods of teaching, organization, and general management. Altogether the Board has reason to believe that the discipline is highly satisfactory, and that the work is in the hands of capable and efficient teachers. . Financial. —The statements of receipts and expenditure, and of assets and liabilities, show that the Board's financial position has improved during the year under review by approximately £700 ; but all the money in hand and in sight will be needed when the Board's building programme is given effect to.
