In terms of the provisions of the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908, section 4, and the regulations thereunder, all moneys belonging to the fund are paid to the Public Trustee for investment, and form part of the common fund of the Public Trust Office. In accordance with the regulations under the Public Trust Office Act interest is paid to the fund on daily balances in the hands of the Public Trustee—4j per cent, on the first £6,000 and 4J per cent. on the balance. No charge is made for investment. It has been suggested that better terms should be obtained ; or, failing this, that, as in the case of the Public Service Superannuation Fund, legislative authority be obtained to enable the Superannuation Board to make its own investments. The matter is receiving careful consideration. On arrears outstanding from contributors 5 per cent, interest is charged. Provision has been made for the payment by the Government of the contributions of contributors to the fund who have enlisted with the Expeditionary Forces engaged in the war, until the release of the contributors from military duties. The amount paid by the Government on this account in 1915 was £1,351. The number of contributors who had joined the Expeditionary Force up to the 31st December, 1915, was 183, of whom twenty have been killed in action or died of wounds, and two have returned to New Zealand and have resumed their duties in the Education service. The triennial investigation of the fund, as provided for under the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908, section 38, was made by the Actuary appointed by the Governor for the purpose; and in his report, which was laid before Parliament during last session, he recommends that the annual subsidy to the fund be increased from £17,000 to £33,000. In view, however, of the special circumstances at present existing it was decided, as in the case of other superannuation funds, that the former rate of subsidy be continued.

Part 2. TENTH REPORT OF THE BOARD CONSTITUTED BY THE PUBLIC SERVICE CLASSIFICATION AND SUPERANNUATION AMENDMENT ACT (PART I), 1908. For this Year ended 31st December, 1915. The Honourable the Minister of Education. Sir,— Wellington, 3rd April, 1916. The Board lias to submit the following report for the year ended the 31st December, 1915 :— Meetings. —The usual quarterly meetings of the Board were held in February, May, August, and November. Contributors. —The number of contributors increased from 4,269 at the end of 1914 to 4,444 at the end of 1915, an increase of 175. Table A shows the contributors arranged according to percentage of contribution, together with the number admitted and the number left during the year. Retiring and other Allowances.— Allowances amounting to £5,140 17s. per annum were granted during the year. Details are given in Table 3. The annual amount payable at the end of the year was £38,999 17s. Eleven allowances were discontinued by death, and thirteen from other causes —viz., eleven children attained the age of fourteen years; one annuitant (retired medically unfit) was considered by the Board to have recovered, and she rejoined the Education service, her allowance consequently ceasing ; and one widow's allowance ceased on her remarriage.

Income. —The total income for the year was £83,319, made up as follows :— £ Members'ordinary contributions .. .. .. 52,644 Government subsidy .. .. .. .. 17,000 Interest from Public Trustee .. .. .. 13,359 Interest on arrears of contributions . . . . 244 Contributions transferred from other funds .. .. 72 Total for year .. .. .. £83,319 It will be seen on reference to the balance-sheet that considerable amounts of contributions and interest were outstanding at the end of the year, the figures being £3,943 Os. 3d. and £684 os. sd. respectively. That these sums are so large is due to the fact that many of the contributors who failed to join, in 1906, and who were admitted in 1913 under section 5 of the amending Act of 1912, have not yet paid up the full amount of arrears due from the Ist January, 1906, payment of which was a condition of their admission. The regulations allow them to pay the arrears by annual or monthly instalments. Of outstandings on the 31st December, 1914, £1,377 19s. Bd. contributions and £340 7s. 2d. interest were paid off in 1915. Expenditure. —The allowances paid to contributors who have retired, and to dependants of deceased contributors, and annuitants, amounted to £37,375 15s. 2d., an increase of £3,891 3s. lOd. over that of 1914. Refunds of contributions on voluntary retirement from the Education service amounted to £4,493 16s. 10d., the refunds to personal representatives of deceased contributors amounted to £2,552 12s. 10d., while contributions amounting to £874 16s. Id. were transferred to other superannuation funds. Net Revenue.— The total for the year was £37,882. Accumulated Funds. —These amounted at the end of the year to £340,582 9s. 4d. Government Subsidy. —The Government subsidy of £17,000 was received during the first quarter of the year. The total subsidies paid by the Government since the inception of the fund amount to £84,000. Investment of the, Fund. —The fund receives interest on daily balances in the hands of the Public Trustee of 4j per cent, on the first £6,000 and 4j per cent, on the remainder. The rates are the maximum allowed by the Public Trust Office Act. The Board has given this matter earnest consideration during the year, and is of opinion that a higher rate of interest could be earned. Legislation is necessary, however, before this can be done, and the Board has drawn the attention of the Government to the matter. Actuarial Investigation. —The report of the Actuary, appointed by the Governor for the purpose, on his investigation of the fund for the years 1911, 1912, and 1913 was laid before Parliament during the session of 1915. He recommends that the annual subsidy be increased from £17,000 to £33,000. Contributors on Active Sendee. —The number of contributors who joined the Expeditionary Force up to the end of 1915 was 183. Of this number twenty have been killed in action or died of wounds, while two hay returned to New Zealand and have resumed the duties of their previous positions. As intimated in last year's report, the Government has undertaken to pay the contributions of members during the period they are members of the Expeditionary Force. The amount thus paid by the Government in 1915 amounted to £1,351 3s. 7d. Of the deceased contributors nineteen were unmarried, and their contributions to the fund (together with the amounts paid by the Government on. their behalf up to the date of their decease), amounting to £660 Is. 6d., were refunded to their respective estates. One contributor was survived by a widow and three children under the age of fourteen years, to each of whom the usual allowance was granted. Statistics. —The statements and accounts prescribed by regulations under the Act, together with other additional statements, are attached hereto. I have, &c, J. A. Han an, Chairman.

APPENDIX. 1. Historical Outline : — The Teachers' Superannuation Act, which was passed by Parliament on the 81st October, 1905, and came into force on the Ist January, 1906, was amended by a supplementary Act on the 29th October, 1906. Every person who at the date of the coming into operation of the principal Act was permanently employed for not less than twenty hours a week in the Education .service had the option of electing within six months to become a contributor to the fund. Those who so elected became "original members," and, as such, are entitled to special benefits. A person who did not so elect to join the fund at its commencement might, however, be allowed to join it on certain conditions to be imposed by the Superannuation Board. All teachers in public schools, and in Native and other schools under the control of the Education Department who were subsequently permanently employed, were compelled to become contributors as from date of appointment ; other persons in the Education, service had the option of becoming contributors. On the 10th October, 1908, the former Acts were repealed by the Public Service Classification, and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908, Part I ; but existing contributors Were allowed six months in which to elect to remain subject to the provisions of the former Acts if they so desired. On the 24th December, 1909, this Act was amended, providing, among other things, for the extension of time allowed in which to make the election referred to above to the 30th June, 1910 ; the amending Act also fixed a maximum retiring-allowance of £300 per annum in the case of persons who become contributors to the fund after the passing of the Act (24th December, 1909). The chief difference between the Act of 1908 and the former Acts affected the basis of calculation of the retiring-allowance of a contributor. The retiring-allow-ance was to b ; one-sixtieth of the average rate of salary received during the three years next preceding retirement, for each year of service, provided that in no case may the allowance exceed two-thirds of that salary. Under the former Acts the basis had been one-sixtieth of the total salary received by the contributor during the period of contributing to the fund (or, in other Words, one-sixtieth of his average salary for each year of service during the whole period of contribution), and, in addition, in the case of original members, one one-hundred-and-twentieth of the salary during the years of service between the Ist January 1878, and the Ist January, 1906, with a further proviso that in no case should tin original member receive a retiring-allowance of less than £52 per annum. By the same Act of 1908 the right to be admitted at a future date was taken away from I hose persons employed on the Ist January, 1906, as teachers in public schools or under the Education Department, and also from those persons who, being first permanently employed in other branches of the Education service after the Ist January, 1906, had the option of joining within six months after the date of appointment but did not do so. By the Amendment Act of 1912, however, the first-named persons were given a further opportunity of joining the fund. They had to make an election before the 30th June, 1913, if they wished to join, the regulations under the Act providing that contributions had to be paid from the Ist January, 1906, together with 5 per cent, compound interest thereon. By the amending Act of 1912 the definition of '' Education service " was extended so as to admit of the staffs of universities joining the fund. Any person in the employ of the University of New Zealand, the Auckland University College, Victoria University College, Canterbury College, the University of Otago, or the Canterbury Agricultural College at the date of passing of the Act (7th November, 1912) had the option (to be exercised before the 30th June, 1913) of joining. Any pc son first permanently employed on the staff of any one of those institutions after the passing of the Act is compelled, to become a contributor. The basis of calculation of the retiring-allowance in the case of persons appointed under the

19

E.—9

provision in respect of universities differs from that in respect of contributors under the Act of 1908. The retiring-allowance is one-sixtieth of the average rate of salary for the three years next preceding retirement, for each year or part of a year of contribution to the fund, together with a one-hundred-and-twentieth part of such salary for each complete year of service between the Ist January, 1878, and the date of passing of the Act (7th November, 1912). These allowances are subject to the limitation of a maximum of £300 prescribed by the amending Act of 1909. 2,|Provision for the Government contribution to the fund has been made as follows :— (a.) Under the (section 23) Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1905 (the original Act), £5,000 was paid during the first quarter of 1906. No payment was made in 1907 or 1908. (b.) Under the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908 (section 39), £7,000 was paid during the first quarter of the years 1909, 1910, 1911, and 1912. (c.) Under the Public [Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1912 (section 9), £17,000 has been paid during the first quarter of each year subsequent to the date of the Act.
