Table B2.—School Attendance at Public Schools for 1916.

Table B3.—Average Attendance for the Year 1916 at the Public Schools as grouped in Table A1, as estimated for determining the Grades of Schools. (Part I of the Fifth Schedule to the Education Act, 1914.)

The following notes are appended in explanation of this table : — A.—The average attendance as given in Table B3 differs from that in Table 132 for the following reasons : — (1.) Under certain contingencies the regulations provide for the elimination of one or two quarters' averages in the case of any school or department if the grade of the school or department would be raised or maintained by calculating the yearly average attendance on the mean, of the remaining quarters' average. The amended average attendance thus ascertained is reckoned for the sole purpose of determining the grade of the school, and consequently this amended average attendance is used in the compilation of Table 83, which gives the schools according to their grades. For statistical purposes the average attendance as given in Table B2 should be taken. (2.) The totals of this table are for the mean of the four quarters of each school taken separately, not the mean of the gross quarterly totals of all schools. (3.) New schools, many of which were open for only part of the year, are included as having an average attendance for the whole year ; whereas in Table B2 the average attendance is included only for those quarters during which the schools were open. B.—This table shows the average attendance for determining the grades of schools. For determining the " primary" staffs of schools, however, the figures require to be reduced by the attendance in secondary departments of district high schools, viz. : Grade lIIa, 13 ; lIIb, 28 : IVa, 105 ; IVb, 187; IVc, 14; Va, 207; Vb, 79; Vc, 241; Yd, 87; Vla, 100; Vlb, 256; VIIa, 105; VIIb, 52 ; Vila, 82; VIId, 197 ; VIIb, 59; VIIf, 71; Vila, 72 ; VIIh, 246 : total, 2,201.

Burns; for the West Ward—Messrs. W. Auld and J. Boddie. Messrs. A. R. Harris and C. T. Barriball retired. The Board regrets to report that Mr. C. T. Barriball recently died. Mr. J. D. McKenzie was elected Chairman of the Board. Finance. —The total receipts for the year 1916 were £358,069 2s. Id., and the expenditure was £343,338 Is. id., that amount being made up its follows: Teachers' salaries and house allowances, £261,863 Is. -'id.; grants to School Committees, Ac, £15,191 Is. Bd.; cost of administration, £6,132 18s. 5d.; secondary education, £2,741- Is. lid.; manual and technical instruction, £22,961 9s. Bd.; maintenance of school buildings, £13,091 18s. 9d.; new school buildings, £11,401 4s. 10d.; manual and technical buildings, £3,614 1.55. 9d.; unclassified expenditure, £6,034 9s. Id. The amount of £10,000 was recently added to the amount on fixed deposit on account of the fund for the rebuilding of worn-out schools. The amount on fixed deposit on that account is now £40,961 2s. Bd. Buildings. —During the year lit'teen new schools were built; eight were enlarged, and two schools (at Ohaupo and Puni) were built to replace those destroyed by fire. At the end of the year school was held in 492 buildings belonging to the Board and in 138 privately owned buildings. The number of teachers' residences was 205. The improvement, renovation, and larger repairs to schools continue to be undertaken by a competent staff of workmen under the direction of the architect. The smallest-sized schools, known as "shed schools," are usually erected by the Board's own workmen. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 630, being a decrease of twelve. 130 half-time schools were in operation. The Inspector's reports on the work of the half-time schools are in general very satisfactory. Owing to the alterations in the boundaries of the education district, eighteen schools in the Awakino and Ohura Counties were handed over to the Taranaki Education Board, and eight schools in the Kaitieke County were handed over to the Wanganui Board, in August last. Attendance. —The number of scholars on. the roll at the end of last year was—Boys, 26,199: girls, 24,132 : total, 50,331. This represents a decrease for the year of 569. The average attendance for the year was 4-3,850, being a decrease of 1,027. Teachers. —Over 230 teachers have now joined the Forces. The Board regrets to report that ten teachers have been reported killed in action. The Board continues to experience serious difficulty in staffing schools, and it has been necessary to employ, under the provisions of the War Legislation Act, many inexperienced teachers. Believing Teachers. —The grant for relieving teachers has again proved to be insufficient. The receipts for last year amounted to £1,156 I2s. 7d., whereas the payments were £1,413 7s. 7d. The debit balance on account of relieving teachers at the end of the year was £2,483 4s. The Board grants leave of absence on account of illness to teachers, with salary, as follows : Up to live years' service—maximum, two weeks; over five and up to ten years' service—maximum, one month; over ten. and up to fifteen years' service—maximum, two months; over fifteen and up to twenty-five years' service—maximum, three months; over twenty-five years' service— maximum, four months. Provision is made that, under exceptional circumstances, an extension of that scale may be granted by the unanimous vote of the members present. It is also provided that should, leave of absence for one month or more have been granted to any teacher at any time that fact shall be taken into consideration in any application for future leave. Training College. —The number of students in attendance at the beginning of last year was 121. During the absence ol' Mr. 11. A. E. Milnes with the Forces the headmaster of the Normal School, Mr. H. G. Cousins, is acting as Principal anil lecturer in education at the University College. Manual Training. —During the year 1916 Tauranga was the only new centre opened for woodwork and cookery classes. The course of instruction at that centre was limited to three months, during which period the pupils by attending five hours weekly received the sixty hours' instruction in woodwork and cookery. This scheme proved, very satisfactory, and it is the intention, of the Board to establish similar courses in other country towns. There are at present sixteen manual-training schools open in the Auckland Education District, and new ones are being built at Matamata and at Te Kuiti. There are over seven thousand children in attendance at the woodwork and cookery classes. Agriculture Instruction. —The rural course was taken by the secondary pupils at Aratapu, Pukekohe, Cambridge, Paeroa, Waihi, and Tauranga District High Schools. There are sciencerooms already at Pukekohe and Waihi, and science-rooms are being erected at Paeroa and Aratapu. An application has been made to the Department for a grant in aid of erection of a science-room

at Tauranga. 230 primary schools had recognized classes in agriculture; eighty-five primaryschools bad recognized classes in agriculture and dairy science (combined course); three schools had recognized classes in dairy science. Swimming Classes. —Thirty schools held recognized, classes in swimming. Teachers' Classes. —During the year special classes in hygiene (D), botany (D), agriculture (D and C) were held for teachers preparing for certificate examinations, and dairy-science classes were held for instruction of teachers taking dairy-science work in their schools. Technical Instruct ion. —[See E.-5, Report on Technical Instruction. | I have, &c, J. 0. McKenzie, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

TARANAKI. Sib,— New Plymouth, 23rd April, 1917. In accordance with the provisions of section 39 (1) of the Education Act, 1914, the Education Board of Taranaki has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1916. At the beginning of the year the Board comprised the following members : Mr. Harold Trimble (Chairman). Rev. A. B. Chappell, Messrs. G. A. Adlam, A. H. Halcombc, E, Marfcll, R. Masters, A. Morton, F. J. Mackay, and J. Young. In accordance with the provisions of clause 16, subsections (1) and (2), of the Education Act, 1914, all the members retired in August, and the following members, elected in July, took office : Rev. Albert Bygrave Chappell and Mr. Sidney George Smith, for the North Ward; Messrs. Robert Masters and Harold Trimble, for the Central Ward; and Messrs. Edwin Dixon and Charles A. Wilkinson, M.P., for the South Ward. At the meeting of the Board held on the 9th August Mr. Robert Masters was elected Chairman. Schools. —At the end of the year there were 149 schools open, including the forty-two schools taken over from the Auckland and Wanganui Education Districts. Included in this number are sixteen schools which are held in buildings that are not the property of the Board. Scholarships. —The Taranaki Scholarship was gained by a pupil of the Stratford District High School. Senior National Scholarships were awarded to scholars from the following schools : Stratford District High School, 1; New Plymouth Girls' High School, 1; New Plymouth Boys' High School, 1. Junior National Scholarships were awarded as follows: Ongarue, 1; Mangaotaki, 1; West End, 1; Stratford District High School, 2; Hawera District High School, 2; New Plymouth High School, 2. The Bayly Memorial Scholarship was gained by a pupil of the Stratford District High School. Teachers. —At the annual examination of pupil-teachers and probationers one gained a pass for the C examination and four for the D. Two gained partial passes for C, and twenty-seven for D. The number of teachers in the service of the Board at the end of the year was 328, graded as follows: Head and. sole teachers, 84 female and. 63 male; assistants, 119 female and 14 male; pupil-teachers and probationers, 43 female and 5 male. Finance. —The receipts of the Board from all sources, including £4,296 Is. Id. credit balance from 1915, amounted to £63,130 Is. 2d., while the expenditure was as follows: Administration, £1,591 6s. 7d. ; teachers' salaries, £40,884 lis. 2d.; secondary education, £1,180 3s. lOd. ; manual instruction, £1,852 12s. lid.; technical instruction, £4,778 19s. 7d.; buildings, £4,750 18s. 6d.; training of teachers, £204 9s. 5d.; special funds, £5,094 17s. lid. : leaving a credit balance of £2,792 Is. 3d. Regulations. —As the rules and by-laws under which the Board and Committees were worked had not been revised since 1909, it was decided to issue a new and complete set. They have been carefully compiled, and are now in the printer's hands, and will be issued shortly. Buildings. —New schools have been creeled at Hurimoana and Radnor. Additions were made to the Kaimata School; the Huirangi School, destroyed by fire early in the year, lias been reinstated; and eighteen schools and eleven residences have been painted. "During the year the Board erected suitable workshops, and installed machinery for the manufacture of joinery for the school buildings and desks, &c, for the schools. This has proved to be more economical than under the contract system. Owing to the abnormal conditions obtaining on account of the war great difficulty has been experienced in securing sufficient labour to erect and keep in repair the buildings. The Board, therefore, has been compelled to let a portion of the new work by tender. This is proving an expensive system, as in no single instance has the tender been within the grant' made by the Department for the building. The Board will revert to the old system as soon as sufficient labour is available. School Committees. —The Board desires to place on record its appreciation of the good work done by the Primary and Technical. School Committees throughout the district. The Board recognizes the keen interest that continues to be taken by Committees with which they are associated, and is grateful for their cordial co-operation in the administration of educational matters. Enlargement of District. —Under the provisions of the Education Act, 1914, the district has been enlarged to include the Hawera, Wairnate West, Eltham, Ohura, and Awakino Counties, making an addition of forty-two schools, 102 teachers, and an average attendance of 2,542 children. There is a feeling of unanimity existing between flic old and the new districts that augurs well for the future development of educational matters throughout the province. Whatever feeling existed previously against the inclusion in the Taranaki District has entirely disappeared, and all concerned are working in harmony for the best interests of the children,

Agriculture Instruction. —Mr. R. A. S. Browne was appointed Director of Agriculture in September, 1916. The late start did not permit of much immediate work in the way of organization, but schemes of work for the future were outlined and adopted. Arrangements have been made to hold a short course of instruction at Easter, 1917, for a fortnight. In this the whole of the suggested scheme of instruction —viz., nature-study, agriculture, and dairy-work—will be covered. It was agreed that all teachers in the Board's service should attend. Visiting Schools. —During the year the Board adopted a policy of visiting schools, and practically the whole of the schools coming under the Board's jurisdiction through the enlargement, of the district have been visited. The personal knowledge gained of the needs of each locality will be a distinct advantage when administering the business of the Board. Further, it has the effect of bringing the School Committees into closer touch with members of the Board to the advantage of all concerned. I have, &c, Robert MasteßS, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wellington.

WANGANUI. Sir,— Education Office, Wanganui, 31st March, 1917. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, I submit herewith a report on the progress of education in this district during the year 1916. Board. —As required by section 16 of the Act, all members of the Board retired in July last. An election for ten members took place on the 19th July, the following being returned : Wanganui Urban Area —Messrs. F. Pirani and R. J. Sewell; Palmerston North Urban Area — Messrs. L. R. Bryant and E. L. Broad; West Ward —Messrs. W. A. Collins and E. F. H. Hemingway; North Ward—Messrs. R. L. Christie and A. .1. Joblin; South Ward —Messrs. A. Fraser and H. Mclntyre. For the Palmerston North Urban Area and for the North and South "Wards only two nominations were received in each case. The only members of the old Board who offered themselves for re-election were Messrs. F. Pirani, A. Fraser, and W. Bruce. At the first meeting of the new Board Mr. F. Pirani was appointed Chairman. During the past ten years the Board was responsible for the introduction, on the advice and with the assistance of the Chief Inspectors, of a number of education reforms and innovations, amongst the most prominent being rural and agricultural education; the development of manual and technical instruction; the Montessori system; the organization of compulsory continuation classes; the appointment of an itinerant instructor in drawing; the appointment of an organizer of school-work; the establishment of a teachers' circulating library; the publication of an official journal for teachers (The Leaflet); summer and winter schools for the training of teachers; a scheme for the grading, classification, and promotion of teachers; the importing of school material; and the scheme propounded by members which rendered possible the erection of the Wanganui Technical College, the Wanganui Central Infants' School, and the Board's offices without financial assistance from the Government. In 1906 there was only one technical school in the Wanganui Education District; last year, before the alteration in the boundaries of the district took place, there were twelve well-equipped technical schools. The number of centres at which technical classes were held increased from ten to thirty-five. The annual receipts under the heading of " Manual and Technical Instruction " increased by £6,394, and the expenditure by £5,734. The voluntary contributions received during ten years amounted to £7,501. The number of schools at which instruction in elementary agriculture was given rose from forty-six to 157. Schoolx and Attendance.- —New schools were opened at Te Rimu, Riariaki, and Rakautangi (Grade 0), Makirikiri Valley, Woodlands, and Potaka Road (Grade 1), part-time schools at Taumatatnhi, Marohenia, and Ridge Road, and a side school on St. John's Hill, attached to the Queen's Park School. The Makohau School was reopened. The schools at Makowliai, Manui, Mount Curl, Pine Creek, and part-time schools at Taumatatabi and Marohenia were closed. The Marohenni School was reopened as a full-time school. At the close of the year there were open 195 main schools, three side schools, and four half-time schools, graded as follows: Grade 0, 11; Grade I, 60; Grade 11, 37; Grade lIIa, 49; Grade TIIb, 10; Grade IVa, 12; Grade IVb, I; Grade IVo, I; Grade Va, 5; Grade Vb, 2; Grade Yd, 3; Grade Vl a, I; Grade Vlb, 4; Grade VIId, .1. The number of children on the rolls at the close of the year was 14,829. Of these, 130 were in the secondary departments of district high schools. The average attendance for the year was 13,774, The attendance expressed as a percentage of the average weekly roll number was 88"5, which is o'9 lower than the previous year. By the alteration in the boundaries of the district twenty-five schools, with an average attendance of 2,170, were transferred to the Taranaki District, while eight schools with an average attendance of 588, formerly under the Auckland Board, were added to the Wanganui District. The net loss in the average attendance to this district was therefore 1.582. The Truant Officer paid 306 visits to schools during the year. 232 summonses were issued to parents. In the 177 cases proceeded with ten wire dismissed and 167 convictions were recorded. The fines inflicted and the costs awarded amounted to £90 Is. Teachers. -The number of teachers in the Board's service on the 31st December, excluding pupil-teachers and probationers, was 436—173 males and 263 females. The number of uncertificated teachers was 156, but of these ten were teachers in charge of Grade 0 schools, and thirteen were teaohers holding temporary positions during the war. Of the remainder, fifty-four were in charge of Grade J schools, twenty-one were in charge of Grade II schools, and fifty-eight were assistants. Omitting the teachers in Grade 0 schools, those temporarily employed, and ten teachers who were granted certificates early in the current year, the percentage of uncertificated teachers was 29"7.

[Appendix A.

Pupil-teachers and Probationers. —There were at the close of the year twelve male and forty-seven female pupil-teachers and five male and nineteen female probationers. The term of service of twenty-seven expired, and thirteen of these entered the training college. Attention is again drawn to the meagre pay provided for those taking ujj appointments as pupil-teachers and probationers. There are anomalies in the scale of salaries and allowances which might well be removed. For instance, it is difficult to understand why the lodgingallowance should be less for second-, third-, and fourth-year pupil-teachers than that provided for pupil-teachers in their first year. A candidate who has passed the Proficiency Examination receives on appointment a salary of £35 plus £20 lodging-allowance, a total of £55 per annum. At the end of the first year the salary rises to £45 but the allowance falls to £15. The following year the salary rises to £55 and the allowance falls to £10. There is no alteration during the fourth year. A candidate who has passed the Matriculation Examination, probably after several years' attendance at a secondary school, ranks on appointment as a third-year pupil-teacher, and receives a salary of £55 plus £10 lodging-allowance. No increase is granted the following year. It costs a pupil-teacher in the fourth year as much, if not more, to live away from home as it costs a first-year pupil-teacher. Why, then, should the lodging-allowance in the case of the former be only half that of the latter? A more equitable arrangement would be to pay the same lodging-allowance to all and to grant fourth-year pupil-teachers an increment of £10 in salary. The conditions governing the appointment of probationers also require revision. It appears inequitable that a, probationer, who in order to receive an appointment must be older and more highly qualified than a candidate eligible for appointment as a first-year pupil-teacher, should receive iess salary than the latter. The reluctance of candidates, and particularly those who are highly qualified, to accept appointments as probationers is easily understood. Tf it is desired to induce the best class of student to enter the teaching profession radical alterations must be made in the scale of salaries and allowances for pupil-teachers and probationers. The Board wishes also to draw attention to the disability under which trainees from country districts suffer while attending a. training college. The lodging-allowance provided is only £25 per annum, and it must be apparent that this sum is altogether inadequate. These trainees should be paid an allowance sufficient to meet the cost of lodging. They would then be on the same footing as the trainees from the city. Seholarshi /is. —There were in force during the year twelve Board's Junior, twelve Board's Senior, seventeen Junior National, and eight Senior National Scholarships. The total annual value was £1,082 10s, On the result of the examinations held towards the close of the year, at which 128 candidates entered for the Junior and fifty-three for the Senior Examination, twentytwo candidates were awarded Junior Scholarships and six candidates Senior Scholarships. Lieutenant Gray Scholarship : A sum of money was subscribed, by friends of the late Lieutenant J. H. Gray, formerly-on the staff of the Campbell Street School, Palmerston North, with the object of establishing a scholarship to perpetuate his memory. The scholarship is open for competition among the boys attending the four public schools in Palmerston North and such other schools as the trustees may from time to time decide, and is of the annual value of £6 6s. Eighteen candidates competed for the scholarship last year, the winner being a pupil of the Campbell Street School. The trustees expect to Ire able to offer two scholarships at the end of the current year. Montessori System. —This system of infant-teaching is now established in quite a number of our schools, and it is pleasing to know that the Department is now prepared to do something by way of providing apparatus. The grant of £5 per school will not go far, and it is hoped that a sufficient sum will this year be placed on the estimates to enable the schools which are taking up this work, to be properly equipped. The Board is unable to do more than it is doing in this direction, and were it not for the whole-hearted manner in which the teachers of some schools have taken up the manufacture of apparatus the teaching of Montessori would not have made such rapid strides. So far as the usefulness of the system is concerned, and its adaptation to the requirements of that bugbear of schools, the syllabus, after several years' experience it has been clearly proved in our district that it is the best foundation for a good education iv its best sense yet introduced into the State schools. The Board looks forward to the time when the system will be in use in every school in the district. Conveyance and Hoarding Allowances. —The total amount paid under this head was £342 lis. The allowance for conveyance was paid on account of seventy children in attendance at eleven schools. Forty children in attendance at sixteen schools received boarding-allowance. The regulations governing the conveyance of pupils leave much to be desired. For example, no allowance is paid for a pupil under seven years of age, irrespective of the distance the child has to travel. Tho present capitation is ample in a case where several children are driven to school by a senior pupil in a conveyance provided by one of the parents, but for the conveyance of a, large number of children in a special vehicle it is altogether inadequate. An alteration is necessary in the regulations if the system is to be utilized to the extent which it might be. Subsidies on Voluntary Contributions. —The decision of Parliament to extend the system of payment of subsidies on voluntary contributions so as to include primary schools was a wise and proper one. School Committees in this district are availing themselves of the opportunity of securing funds for the extension and improvement of grounds, erection of shelter-sheds and fences, and the establishment of school libraries. In one case half the cost of an urgently needed addition to the school was raised, and in another a portion of the cost of constructing swimmingbaths. The total amount of contributions for primary schools received during the year was £820 9s. sd. The War. —[A list of officers who have joined the Forces will be found in Appendix B to E.-I.J

Buildings and Sites. —The principal works carried out during the year were the erection of additions to the schools at Taihape, Terrace End, Otakeho; the removal of the Pine Creek School to Ngaturi; alterations and additions to the teacher's residence at Foxton, and the installation of drainage systems at Durie Hill and Mangaweka. Extensive repairs (including painting), erection of shelter-sheds and outoffices, fencing, and clearing sites, &c, were carried out at the following: Matapu, Aramoho, Awahuri, Newbury, Bull's, Kiwitea, Ohakea, Silverhope, Sanson, Taihape, Mosston, St. John's Infants, College Street, West End, Kakaramea, Hawera, Alton, Raurimu, Otakeho, Ashhurst, Kapuni, Mangatoki, Whenuakura, Castlecliff, Mangaweka, Croiton, Momohaki, Fitzherbert East, Waverley, Warrengate, Patea, Manutahi, Ohingaiti, liurleyville, Rangiotu, Feilding, Central Infants, Opaku, St. John's Hill, Carnarvon. Schools were erected the settlers at Potaka Road and Woodlands. Works now in hand include the erection of new schools at Oreore and Te Pou, and additions at Alton and Te Arakura. Additions to the schools at Manunui ami Tiritea, and the erection of new schools at Omatane, Pan rinm, Upper Tutaenui. Turakina, and Campbell Street are contemplated. A new site was secured for the Campbell Street School, Palmerston North, and the acquisition of the new site at Aramoho under the Public Works Act was completed. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The Board desires to again place on record its appreciation of the practical support given by local bodies and individuals throughout the district to technical education. Without this support it would be impossible for the Board to continue the work commenced just over a decade since, and opportunity is here taken of conveying the Board's sincere thanks to all those who have assisted during the year. The total amount received by way of voluntary contributions was £608 19s. lid.; and when it is remembered that over £8,000 has been, received from this source in this district during the past eleven years the existence of local interest is so apparent that to centre the whole control of even this branch of our education system in the hands of I he Education Department would be a serious set-back to the cause of education. General. —The Board regrets thai the Department has not yet seen its way to face the question of the payment of teachers' removal expenses. The Board during the past year paid £52 9s. lid. under this head, but this amount represents only a portion of the expenses incurred by teachers in removing to new positions. There are cases on record of teachers having refused promotion because the expenses of removal would have more than absorbed the difference in salary during the first year or so in the new position. If a school falls in grade the teacher suffers no reduction in salary. The Board, however, is expected to transfer him at the earliest opportunity to another position, and the teacher is practically compelled to accept the transfer. He is put to considerable expense in removing, and it is surely reasonable to ask the State to bear this expense. In. the matter of sick-leave for teachers, it is time that the Department realized its responsibilities and increased the capitation for the payment of salaries of relieving teachers. The Board is compelled to exercise the strictest economy in. the matter of granting sick-leave on pay, but even so there was at the close of the year a deficit of £895 13s. Bd. in the account for the salaries of relieving teachers. A teacher who has given years of faithful service, and who requires leave of absence on account of illness is, in the opinion of the Board, entitled to better treatment than can at present, owing to a parsimonious Department, be extended to him during his illness. In the majority of cases the Board is able to allow only one month's leave on pay, and the consequence is that a teacher who cannot afford to accept leave without pay must return to duty before he is tit to do so. The Board believes that such matters as the payment of teachers' removal expenses and adequate provision for payment of salary during absence from duty on account of illness have only to be brought prominently before Parliament by the Government in order to secure the necessary reform. I have, etc., The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Fred. Pirani, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — ■ Education Office, Napier, 31st March, 1917. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, the Education Board for the District of Hawke's Bay has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings during the year 1916. Board. —The personnel of (he Board lias undergone very considerable change during Ihe year. Pursuant to the provisions of the amending Act of 1915, Napier and Gisborne became urban areas. Messrs. -I. 11. Sheath and J. Clark Thomson were elected to represent the former. and Messrs. J. 11. Bull anil G. Wildisli the latter. For the rural areas Messrs. ,!. R. Kirk and VV. Gates were elected for the North Ward. Messrs. (i. E. Roach and G. McKay for Ihe Middle Ward, and Messrs. P. G. Grant and P. Soundy for the South Ward. Mr. J. 11. Sheath was re-elected Chairman of the Board. Rev. A. Grant, Messrs. W. G. Hunter, and S. Ashcroft represented the Board on the Dannevirke High School Board of Governors, Messrs. J. H. Sheath and G. F. Roach on the Napier Technical College Board of Managers, Mr. .1. H, Sheath on the Napier High School Board of Governors. Messrs. H. Bull and G. Wildisli on the Gisborne High School Board, and Messrs. G. McKay and W. J. Pellow on the Waipawa Technical Associated Classes. Number of Schools.—'The number of schools in operation at the end of 1915 was 148. During 1916 new schools were opened at Pouawa, Mokairau, Otope, Waiomoko, Motea, Motuhora. Tahora, Te Hua, Putorino, Sherenden. Waikohu, ami Waiwhenua. while the schools at Bushy Knoll. Wahanui, Arlington, and Matapiro were closed, leaving 157 schools in operation at the end of the year.

(Appendix A.

Attendance. —The number of children attending public schools in the district continues to increase. The number on the roll at the end of the year was 13,001, an increase of 244 during the year. The number and virulence of epidemic sicknesses that prevailed last year constitute an unfortunate record. During the first and second quarters of the year infantile paralysis and measles were rampant, and during the second, third, and fourth diphtheria, influenza, and scarlet fever were prevalent. Teachers and Committees, having been advised that during such epidemics the children are safer at school working under proper control and under healthy conditions, made every effort to induce parents to send their children. Schools were not closed unless under special circumstances, and. then only on the advice of the Health authorities. As a result the average attendance is less than that of the previous year, the decrease being 151, while the percentage of attendance fell to 882 per cent., the lowest for eight years. The average roll and attendance for the years 1915 and 1916 were as follows: 1916—Average roll. 12,743; average attendance, 11,240; percentage of attendance, 88"18 : 1915—average roll, 12,616; average attendance, 11,393; percentage of attendance, 90"3. Teachers. —On the 31st December, 1916, there were in the Board's service 428 teachers, classed as follows :—

In addition to the above, the following instructors in special subjects were employed :— M. I. Agriculture and dairying ... ... ... ... ... 2 Domestic science ... ... ... ... ... 2 Woodwork ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 Totals ... ... ... ... ... ... 4 2. , The Board is proud to record (he excellent response of its staff to the call for men to fight the battles of the Empire. During 1914 seven teachers and two of its office and shop staff enlisted in the Expeditionary Forces, in 1915 one teacher and one clerk, and in 1916 a further fifteen teachers and two clerks enlisted. Instruction of Teachers. —Owing to the departmental request to economize where possible, the Board reduced its original proposals in the matter of teachers' classes. Saturday training classes in art and elementary hygiene were held at Gisborne, Napier, and Dannevirke, at all of which centres satisfactory work was done. The Board's course of instruction by correspondence was continued, the number of pupils enrolling in these classes being thirty-two. Of these, twenty-one took Group 1, eighteen Group 2, five Group 3, and six Group 4. About 50 per cent, of these students did earnest and conscientious work, anil sixteen obtained a pass in one or more groups in the recent examination for Class D. In connection with the correspondence course, a summer school was held at Hastings from the 4th to the 23rd December. Eighteen students attended, and the subjects treated were elementary hygiene, elementary agriculture, dairy-science, and methods of teaching. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual and.

The Napier woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking classes are held in the Napier Technical College. The limited time during which the College class-rooms are available to primary classes has prevented many of the Napier pupils from obtaining advantages which accrue from attendance at these classes. Moreover, on several occasions the Board's Director has complained that the work accomplished at this centre does not reach his requirements, and compares unfavourably with the work done at other Hawke's Bay centres. He has long recommended the establishment of a manual-training centre for primary-school pupils, and in this he is strongly supported by your local Inspectors. The Board sincerely hopes that when next reporting to you it will be in a position to place on record its appreciation of the establishment of such a building as is suggested, and to report the increased efficiency and additional achievements due to the additional facilities. Physical Instruction. —During the early part of the year the Department's instructors in physical exercises paid a visit to many of the schools in the district, and where possible held special classes of instruction for teachers. The Inspectors report, that the requirements in the matter of physical instruction have been systematically carried out, except in some of the more remote schools, the teachers of which have had no opportunity of receiving instruction. It is hoped i<> hold this year special classes in physical instruction in connection with the teachers' summer and winter schools for uncertificated teachers. Those teachers who in the past have not received instruction under the supervision of the Department's experts will be required to attend. Scholarships. —Scholarships in tenure at the end of 1916 were—Board Junior, 26; Board Senior, 9; Wairoa County Council, 2; Junior National Scholarship, .16; Senior National Scholarship, 3. Buildings. —During the year a new school was erected al Waingake, and some extensive alterations to a cottage at Te Uri have been carried out to enable the building to serve as a, school and residence. The main building of the Napier School was destroyed by fire in November last. This is a, serious loss at a time like the present, and will cost a great deal to replace. The building was erected on a site which wits much too small for the convenience of the large number of children that attended the school. The Board hopes that you will see your way to assist in acquiring a larger site. The question bristles with difficulties; but the Board trusts these may be overcome and an improved site secured for this important school. The following buildings (which include some of the largest schools in Hawke's Bay) were painted and thoroughly renovated inside and out by the Board's workmen : Schools —Gisborne, Gisborne North, Gisborne West, Gisborne Technical, Hastings Main, Hastings Infant, Hastings Technical, Pukahu, Pakowhai, Meeanee; residences—Hastings, Havelock, Pukahu, Pakowhai. Meeanee. Old furniture continues to be replaced by single and dual desks. Owing to the increased cost of iron standards used, the output was this year much lower than heretofore; 400 duals and 144 singles have been installed. In a number of the old larger schoolrooms partitions have been erected and changes made in regard to lighting and ventilation. The sloping or gallery floors have been levelled in many town and country schools, and a large quantity of blackboard material for teachers' and pupils' use has been erected. Finance. —The receipts for the year totalled £87,028 7s. 9d., and the expenditure was £81,207 3s. 3d. The cash balance at the 31st December, 1916, was £7,963 2s. sd. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. H. Sheath, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sin, — Education Board, Wellington, 31st March, 1917. In accordance with the requirements of the Education Act, 1914, I beg to submit the following report of the Education Board of the District of Wellington for the year 1916. The outstanding event of the year was the amalgamation of the former Wellington and Marlborough Districts into one new education district, with headquarters in Wellington. Board. —The Board membership of the old. districts was : Wellington—The Hon. .1. G. W. Aitken, M.L.C., Sir Walter Buchanan, M.L.C.. Messrs. W. Allan, C. M. Luke, H. Freeman. W. H. Field, M.P., J. Kebbel], A. W. Hogg, and T. Moss. Marlborough—Messrs. J. J. White. R. McCallum. M.P., J. S. Storey. C. Ferguson, P. Nees, A. Mackay, J. Fulton, and E. H. Penny. The vacancy caused by the death of Mr. John Connolly was not Riled. The Minister made the first division of the new district into wards, all members retired on the Bth August, and, an election having previously been held, the Board was composed of —Urban areas : (1) Wellington. City and Boroughs of Karori, Onslow, and Miramar—Hon. J. G. W. Aitken, M.L.C., Messrs. William Allan, Thomas Forsyth, and R. A. Wright, M.P.; (2) Hutt and Petone—Messrs. G. T. London and E. P. Rich-worth. Rural area: (1) Hutt-Horowhenua Ward—Messrs. W. H. Field, M.P., and John Kebbell ; (2) Wairarapa Ward—Messrs. A. W. Hogg and T. Moss; (3) Marlborough Ward —Messrs. E. H. Penny and A. Mackay. The Hon. Mr. Aitken, the retiring Chairman of the Wellington. Board, was elected Chairman of the new Board. The Board placed on record its warm appreciation of the educational services of Sir Walter Buchanan. The Board's representative Managers of Technical Schools were: Wellington—The Hon. J. G. W. Aitken, M.L.C., Messrs. Allan, Field, M.P., C. M. Luke, and «G. L. Stewart; Petone—Messrs. J. W. McEwan and D. McKenzie; Masterton —Mr. A. W, Hogg. The membership of the Committee of Advice of the Training College wps : Wellington—The Hon. Mr. Aitken, M.L.C. (Chairman), Senior Inspector Fleming; other education districts served by the College—The Hon. G, Carson. M.L.C; Pro fessorial Board, Victoria College—Professor Kirk.

Number of Schools. —The following table showing the grading of schools in operation in each district at the time of amalgamation (31st July) will be of interest:—

The most noticeable features of the above table are (1) the large proportion of small schools in Marlborough in Grade 0 (mostly household schools); and (2) the comparatively large number of large schools in the Wellington area. At the end of the year (here were in operation 255 schools. Attendance —The following table summarizes the separate and the combined numbers of the year : —

Number on roll at end of year, 23,726, compared with 23,004 at the end of 1915 —an increase of 722. The average attendance was 89 - 2 per cent, of the average roll. The regularity of attendance was over 2 per cent, lower than in 1915. This was due to the prevalence of epidemics in the June and September quarters, and to difficulties originating in war conditions. The epidemic of infantile paralysis was more disturbing than any other disorder which has in recent years prevailed in the district. The Truant Officer acknowledges the friendly assistance of several philanthropic societies in providing clothing for children in need, and also the steady support accorded by the Press to a reasonable enforcement of the law. Teaching Staff. —The following are the numbers of teachers, pupil-teachers, and probationers in the service of the Board at the end of the year : — Men. Women. Totals.

2. Marlborough : Saturday classes would not benefit those teachers who most require assistance. Arrangements: (1.) Correspondence classes by weekly notes throughout the year. (2.) At the end of the year a course at Blenheim extending over a fortnight was attended by twenty-five teachers. Work for the teacher's certificate was undertaken in English, arithmetic, singing, drawing, dairy science, needlework, and physical instruction. Favourable report has been made of the attention and diligence of those who attended this course. 3. Course extending over a month at the Training College, Kelburn: A course in preparation for the certificate was held in February, 1917, in completion of the year's programme, and was attended by thirteen teachers. Subjects : Agriculture, English, arithmetic, school method, hygiene and first aid, drawing, singing, physical drill. Work was set to be done during the remainder of the year. The teachers studied with commendable earnestness. 4. Spring course of a fortnight, in agriculture at Masterton : After preparations were well advanced it was found necessary to abandon the course, owing to the disorganization caused by epidemics. Training College. —A full statement of the work of the year will be found in the report of the Principal in Appendix D. The following is a brief statement of the statistics of the institution : The total number of students was 114—21 men and 93 women—comprising first-year students, 58; second-year students, 56; and classified thus : Division A, 105; B, 4; C, 4; D, 1. They came from the following districts: Wellington, 45; Wanganui, 20; Hawke's Bay, 15; Taranaki, 8; Marlborough, 8; Nelson, 9; Westland, 7; North Canterbury, 2. Manual Instruction. —The following table shows in detail the subjects of manual instruction undertaken in school classes, and the number of pupils under instruction : — Subject. .Number of Pupils. Agriculture ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,656 Botany ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 58 Chemistry ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 153 Cookery and domestic economy ... ... ... ... ... 1,143 Dressmaking ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 85 Handwork ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 18,058 Laundry-work ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 360 Needlework (sole-teacher schools where special instructress is engaged)... 315 Physical measurements ... ... ... ... ... ... 796 Physical science ... ... ... ... ... .. 34 Physiology and first aid ... ... ... ... ... 293 Swimming and life-saving ... ... ... ... .. 1,194 Woodwork ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,374 By the erection of small laundry-rooms instruction in laundry-work was extended to five new laundry centres. The full rural course was undertaken at six of the nine district high schools, the average attendances totalling 214 pupils. It is satisfactory to note that in the simple nature-study and practical gardening programme of the smaller and in the more advanced programme in agriculture of the larger country schools steady progress is recorded by both Inspectors and instructors. It is not less pleasant to note also the increasing number of schools at which the shelter-belt, the trim hedge, the garden, and the lawn not only proclaim the taste and skill of teacher, children, and Committee, but also assist in developing the artistic sense in others. The Board has for two years endeavoured to assist by the offer of hedge and shelter shrubs to those Committees who would undertake to prepare the ground and plant and protect the trees. Quite a large number of schools have benefited by this offer. The Board wishes to commend highly the efforts of instructors, teachers, and Committees to develop in the child a real love of the plant and its country home and an interest in its life habits, and to develop a love of the country life. District High Schools. —The work of the district high schools is fully discussed in the report of the Inspectors. The average attendances for the year 1916 were—Carterton, 36; Eketahuna, 21; Greytown, 14; Hutt, 18; Levin, 35; Masterton, 72; Normal, 18; Pahiatua, 34; Petone, 59 : total, 307. Medical Inspection and Physical Instruction.—The Board notes with appreciation the friendly co-operation of parent and teacher with the Medical Inspector and the physical instructors in the effort to remedy physical defect; the establishment of special corrective classes (twenty-six in the city and a number in the Wairarapa) has its entire approval. A word of thanks is accorded to the teachers who have undertaken this special work. The Board notes with satisfaction the report of marked progress in physical instruction. The great importance of perfect bodilydevelopment justifies steady, persistent effort to attain high efficiency in this branch of teaching. Buildings. —The following were the principal building operations of the year: New schools— Hataitai, Woodbank, Pirinoa (replaced after fire); additions—Clyde Quay, Te Horo, Shannon; new residence —Carrington (replaced after fire); septic tanks (9); conveniences, new and improved (8); water services (5); laundry-rooms (5); minor works (23); schools overhauled (36); residences overhauled (23); fencing renewals (4). Immediately on the amalgamation of the Marlborough and Wellington Districts a rapid though fairly comprehensive survey was made of the Marlborough schools and residences with

ji—E. 2 (App. A.)

the exception of those situated in the Sounds. On the whole the buildings, with a few exceptions, were found to be in a satisfactory state of repair, and with the usual overhaul and painting will have an extended life. Several schools are, however, very old, and will require to be rebuilt in the near future. The schools erected during the last few years are of modern design with every attention to ventilation, light, &c, It is hoped that a complete survey of the remaining buildings will be made during the current, year. It has been necessary to postpone a good deal of work owing to scarcity of labour and high prices. When building conditions improve the Board purposes making some improvement in the residences occupied by married country teachers. There being no public drainage system anywhere in Marlborough, the Board before amalgamation had constructed a septic-tank system to a number of its larger schools. Urgent Works. —In several large centres of population there has been a steadily increasing attendance, and expenditure must be incurred in the near future — e.g., at Masterton, Miramar, Kelburn, and Upper Hutt. In addition, the Board considers the following—already mentioned in previous reports —as of extreme urgency: (1.) Wellington Technical School. The teaching conditions have now become positively discreditable, and in the interests of healthy boyhood and girlhood should be improved at once. The Board urges, as a preliminary step, an immediate settlement of the question of site on the basis of its recommendation. The design can then be developed for execution at the end of the war. (2.) The Main Normal School, Kelburn. The infant department is overcrowded, but apart from this the school should be completed on account of the large number of students who cannot at present obtain tit hand the teaching practice which is an essential part of their training. The War. —The teaching service continues to do honour to itself not only by the generosity of its voluntary enlistments, but by the fine achievement of its representatives in the field. Since last report the following (names not printed here; see Appendix to E.-l) have gone into camp or have proceeded to the front, or are under training in camp, making in all, since the outbreak of war, ninety-six accepted for foreign service, in addition to four discharged'as physically unfit after undergoing a large part of their camp training, and one at the front with the V.M.C.A. As opportunity presented the Board continued its policy of promoting teachers who are on military service abroad. Finance. —The following table shows in brief the state of the accounts of the two Boards at the time of amalgamation and that, of the combined account at the end of the year: —

Much more than the whole of the sums mentioned above will be required in the near future for the rebuilding of old schools. School Libraries. —Subsidy was willingly paid on a number of donations to school Libraries; The Board's desire is that a larger number of Committees should claim it. In this connection the Board wishes to thank the City Council, its Library Committee, the librarian and his staff for the great benefit conferred on the city schools by the lending scheme now in operation. The example is well worthy of imitation by other Corporations. A few figures will indicate the extent of the benefit. To thirteen schools and, two side schools were lent 4,375 volumes, an increase of 1,179; there were lent 36,671. individual books, of which half were stories, 5,072 fairy-tales, folk-lore, etc., 1,589 science, 702 useful arts, 1,147 literature, 5,919 travel and history, 2,869 biography. This is a gratifying evidence of an improving taste in books. Conveyance. —At Levin and Shannon the Board has established lines of conveyance to central schools—two at the former, one at the latter—and a third request has been received. The allowances payable under existing regulations would not by over .£lOO cover the cost of the best arrangement that can at present be made. The Board submits that, as the State is saved the cost of one or more schools, while the children receive more efficient instruction, the financial arrangements should cover the cost. Aided Schools. —The problem of the education of the children growing up in the remote parts of the district, especially the Sounds, is one surrounded with much difficulty. There are over forty of such schools in the district. The allowance of £6 per child does not under existing conditions secure the services of a trained teacher; yet the interests of the child must be safeguarded. The Board urges a reconsideration of the matter with a view to effective remedy either (1) by increase of the capitation to something approaching the capitation payable on account of secondary pupils, or (2), alternatively, to establish schools with living-quarters to meet the special needs of these remote districts. As against the disadvantage of separation from their homes there is the positive advantage of the intellectual stimulus of numbers, and also that of the more efficient training to be obtained at the hands of a trained staff. The provision for part-time schools does not here meet the requirements. T have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wellington. J. G. W. Aitkek, Chairman.

NELSON.,„ Sir,— Nelson, May, 1917. In accordance with the provisions of the. Education Act, the Nelson Education Board has the honour to submit the following report for the year 1916 : — The Board.—The members of the Board are Messrs. G. H. Gothard and D. J. Williams, representing the West Ward; Messrs. F. W. 0. Smith and E. J. Scantlebury, representing the Eastern Ward; Messrs. W. C. Baigent and T. Symes, representing the North Ward; and Messrs. W. Lock and E. E. Boyes, representing the Nelson City Urban Area. The redistribution of the rural wards was attended with some difficulty in view of the necessity of equalizing the roll number of children in the schools. Mr. Gothard was elected Chairman of the Board, and twelve meetings were held during the year. Primary Schools. —The number of schools at the end of the year was 114, a decrease of seven —all small household schools. A side school to Karamea was opened at Oparara, and a school at Woodstock was reopened after being closed for some years. Included in the number .of schools are nine household schools. The number of these schools is being greatly reduced; some of the schools have reached Grade I, and in several cases settlers in the backblocks avail themselves of the grant provided towards the cost of boarding children who have to live away from home in order to attend school. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Scholarships.- —The raising of the standard of the National Scholarship Examination and the abolition of Education Board Scholarships were responsible for a reduction in the number of successful candidates. Only three candidates were successful in securing Junior National Scholarships, and five candidates Senior National Scholarships. Attendance. —The total number of children on the roll Of the public schools at the end of the year was 6,734, and the average attendance for the year 5,909. The decrease in the average attendance for the year, 107, is wholly attributable to the large number of epfdemics of an infectious character. Early in the year a great many schools were closed for quite long periods on this account. Never before have epidemics been so largely responsible for the poor attendance. Buildings. —-The number of school buildings belonging to the Board is 117, while fifteen schools are conducted in buildings not belonging to the Board. There are fifty-one schools with teachers' residences. New schools were erected at Motueka (side) and at Owen Junction. Two residences were written off during the year. The repair and maintenance of buildings is now costing considerably more pwing to high prices of material and labour. In a number of instances School Committees have exercised a proper oversight over properties under their control, and generally speaking the condition of the buildings may be regarded as satisfactory. The Board has refrained from authorizing new works of any consequence, and particular attention has been paid during the year to the matter of repairs. Unfortunately, in many instances there appears to be little attention directed to minor repairs, which School Committees are asked to undertake on their own responsibility. The Inspectors have had occasion to refer a number of such cases to the Board. Outbuildings are frequently found to be in a neglected condition and not properly looked after. To secure more effective oversight over all. buildings the inspection reports are now taken as the basis of all matters requiring attention, and a more general improvement in the condition of the buildings will, I hope, be the result. Manual Instruction. --Good progress is being maintained with respect to instruction in manual work and handwork. The principal manual classes are conducted at three centres —Nelson, Westport, and Wakefield. Woodwork and cookery are the chief subjects, but an interesting course of metal-work is taken in the place of woodwork at the Westport centre. Owing to inability to secure the services of a competent instructor to take cookery classes at Reef ton the Board was unable to arrange for classes to be held at that centre during the year, a fact much regretted. This year the appointment of an additional instructress at Westport enables a very complete course to be conducted at all centres'. Instruction in agriculture or dairy-work is carried on in the majority of the country schools above Grade I under the supervision of the Board's itinerant instructor. Satisfactory progress was reported from a number of schools. This year the whole of this work has been reorganized and a more systematic inspection of the classes arranged for. A. gift of some thousands of yearly Finns insignis trees was made to the Board by Mr. Kingsland, of Appleby, and the trees were distributed to a large number of schools to be planted and cared for by the children, the intention being later on to transplant the trees on the waste lands. Swimming was not so extensively taught, and it is a matter of regret that more opportunity is not afforded for instruction in swimming and life-saving. Various branches of handwork were undertaken in the majority of schools, but the failure of teachers to conduct their classes according to the regulations deprived the Board of a certain amount of capitation, but I am glad to say that such a state of affairs will not occur in future. Technical Instruction. —[See E.-5, Report on Technical Instruction.] Finance. —The credit balance on all accounts at the end of the year was £608 12s. 9d. Generally speaking, the Board's financial position has improved considerably. Inclusive of all money assets and liabilities on the 31st December the General Account was in debit £1,337 7s. Id., the Technical Account in debit £512 9s. 9d., and the Building Account in credit £4,955 18s. 6d. The payment of manual and technical capitation more promptly is a matter for congratulation. The General Account is not entirely satisfactory, and the Board has taken steps to reduce the deficit as much as possible this year. The expenses of administration have been heavy during the year, but they include some non-recurring items. The Technical Account is greatly improved, and I hope that in the course of a year or two this deficit will be entirely wiped off. I have, &c, Geo. H. Gothard, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

CANTERBURY. Sir, — Christchurch, Ist June, 1917. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of Canterbury for the five months ending 31st December, 1916. Amalgamation of Education Districts .—The outstanding feature of the year's proceedings has been the amalgamation of the education districts of South Canterbury, Grey, and Westland with the North Canterbury District under the provisions of the Education Act, 1914, and the Education Amendment Act, 1915. The new Canterbury Education District came into existence on the 9th August, 1916, on which date the members elected took office. It is improbable thatall the advantages anticipated will result from the change. That the expenditure in administration will be less is extremely doubtful. As regards the old North Canterbury District, the amalgamation will not, generally speaking, be beneficial. South Canterbury was in many ways a model education district, so efficiently and economically administered that it is scarcely to be expected any great improvement will result to the educational interests of what was formerly the South Canterbury Education District. The West Coast, districts, comprising mostly small schools situated far apart, were not generally attractive to the teachers there. They now appreciate the advantage of being attached to a larger Education Board, their chances of promotion being more frequent. It is hoped that before long all the teachers in the Board's schools will be certificated, an advance that will be of distinct advantage to education. The undertaking of elementary agricultural education by the new Board is much appreciated on the West Coast, where very shortly it is proposed to station an agricultural instructor. Judging from the enthusiasm that has been shown by educationists, it is hoped that the venture will meet with much success. From their isolation the late Westland and Grey districts have no doubt in the past suffered considerably in respect to manual and technical instruction. With regard to manual instruction in public schools, very little has been done, especially in connection with the smaller schools. Although woodwork and cookery rooms have been in existence at Hokitika and Greymoutli for some time, no classes had been held at Hokitika for a year or at Greymoutli for the past six months. The chief difficulty lay in the fact that suitable instructors could not be found. With the larger Board it has been possible to get over these difficulties, and this work is now being carried on vigorously. With regard to technical instruction, although much has been done in the past, it is the intention of the new Board to push on this important phase of education and give as far as practicable to the small centres the same educational advantages as come- within the scope of those living in the larger towns. The Hoard. —The following were elected members of the Canterbury Education Board : Christchurch Urban Area —Mr. C. H. Opie, Mr. E. H. Andrews, Mr. J. Jamieson, Mr. A. Peverill; Timaru Urban Area—Mr. C. S. Howard, Mr. J. Maze; North-west Ward—Mr. H. J. Bignell, Mr. J. Grimmond; Middle Ward—Mr. W. A. Banks, Mr. T. W. Adams; South Ward—Mr. G. W. Armitage, Mr. W. M. Hamilton. At the first meeting of the Board, held on the 9th August, Mr. C. H. Opie was elected Chairman of the Board. The following Standing Committees have also been set up, the Chairman of the Board being ex officio member of each Committee : Agriculture—Messrs. T. W. Adams, W. A. Banks, H. J. Bignell, J. Grimmond, W. M. Hamilton, C. S. Howard, J. Maze; Appointments —Messrs. T. W. Adams, E. H. Andrews, H. J. Bignell, W. M. Hamilton, C. S. Howard; Buildings —Messrs. G. W. Armitage, W. A. Banks, J. Grimmond, J. Jamieson, J. Maze, A. Peverill; Finance —Messrs. E. H. Andrews, G. W. Armitage, W. A. Banks, J. Jamieson, A. Peverill. Board's Representatives. —At the end of the year 191.6 the Board's representatives on the several High School Boards and Boards of Managers of Technical Classes were as follows : —High School Boards: Akaroa—Mr. W. K. Virtue, Mr. R. Latter; Ashburton—Mr. J. Tucker, Mt. W. B. Denshire; Greymoutli—Mr. W. R. Kettle; Hokitika—Mr. H. Michel; Rangiora—Mr. H. Boyd, Mr. W. A. Banks; Timaru—Mr. C. S. Howard; Waimate—Mr. W. Lindsay, Mr. W. M. Hamilton. Boards of Managers of Technical Classes: Christchurch—Mr. C. H. Opie, Mr. M. Dalziel, Mr. S. C. Owen; Banks Peninsula (Akaroa) —Mr. J. D. Bruce; Ashburton—Mr. J. Tucker; Kaiapoi—Mr. J. H. Blackwell, Mr. T. Douds; Timaru Main—Mr. G. J. Sealey, Mr. J. G. Gow, M.A.; Temuka—Mr. D. Mclnnes, Mr. G. Thompson; Waimate—Mr. W. M. Hamilton, Mi-. E. Hassall; Eairlie—Mr. F. Foden; Pleasant Point—Mr. J. Maze. Building*. —The new District High School at Greymouth. the erection of which was authorized by the old Grey Education Board, was completed during the year : also new schools at Bruce Bay, Shirley, Waitaha. Waipara. and Warren Estate. Additions were made to the Birdling's Flat, Elmwood, Hornby. Marshland, and Ruatapu Schools, and temporary buildings to provide increased accommodation were erected at Beckenham, Bligh's Road, Linwood, and St. Albans. The llorsley Down School was moved to a new site, and partitions were erected at the Kaikoura Town. Linwood. and Ricearton Schools. The Cashmere and Heathoote Valley Schools were connected with the city sewerage system, and new lavatories were constructed at St. Albans. In the case of each of the following school buildings a sum of over £50 was expended either on repairs, renovations, or furniture, or on improvements to school-grounds : Addington, Aranui, Ashburton, Buckenham, Belfast, Brookside, Bromley, Broomfield, Christchurch East, Christchurch West, Cobden, Culverden, Cust, Dobson, Fairview, Glenavy, Hatter's, Hokitika, Hunter's, Kakahu Bush, Kanieri, Kumara, Methven, New Brighton, Normal School, Omihi, Orari South, Oxford East, Papanui, Paroa, Port Levy, Pleasant Valley, Rangitata Island, Rangitata Station, Roa, Ross, Sydenham, Southbeach, Southbridge, Timaru Main, Taylorville, Waddington, Waiau, Woolston. On the 3rd August, 1916, the Methven School was destroyed by fire, and a new up-to-date building is now in course of erection. The necessary negotiations in connection with the acquisition of a new site of 5 acres, and the disposal of old site and teacher's residence, have caused unavoidable delay. In the meantime the children are being taught in two halls.

The Board has taken over the building and painting staffs of the old South Canterbury Board, and has an assistant architect stationed in Timaru. The workshops there are being used for the manufacture of school furniture, joinery, &c. The Board has decided to establish a workshop in Christchurch on similar lines. A foreman of works is stationed in Greymouth for the supervision of school buildings on the West Coast. The Board has repeatedly drawn the Department's attention to the need of an adequate grant being made to put the schools on the West Coast, more particularly those in the Grey District, in good order. Although the actual expenditure on rebuilding during the year was small, a substantial amount has been set apart for the renewal of portions of several schools which are very old and out-of-date. Grants have been made by the Department for new schools at Laghmor, Sherwood Downs, and Paroa, which will be commenced as soon as practicable. School-sites have been secured at Parnassus, Tormore, and Diamond Harbour, and additional land has been purchased at Elmwood, Fendalton, Hook, and Sumner. New technical schools were erected at Goraldine and Oxford East, and an addition was also made to the Kaiapoi Technical School. Finance. —As this is the first report of the proceedings of the Canterbur)' Education Board, it is only right that reference should be made to the financial position as obtaining on the Ist August, the date on which the Board came into existence. After taking into consideration assets and liabilities, the General Accounts of the several old Boards showed the following credit balances: North Canterbury, £1,465 Is.; South Canterbury, £3,134 6s. lOd.; Westland, £140 lis. 7d. : total, £4,739 19s. sd. This apparent credit balance, however, was more than absorbed by deficits which could only be made good out the Ordinary Account, as follows. North Canterbury—Sites, £1,808 15s.' 6d. ; relieving teachers, £669 2s.' 2d. : total, £2,477 17s. Bd. South Canterbury—Sites, £646 14s. id. Grey —General Account, £848 6s. lid.; relieving teachers, £71 ss. 5d.; teachers' salaries, £365 16s. 5d.; Committees' incidentals, £175 2s. lOd. : total, £1,460 lis. 7d. Westland —Relieving teachers, £50 IBs. lid.; teachers' salaries, £196 6s. lid. : total, £247 2s. lOd. : grand total, £4,832 6s. sd. : leaving a deficit of £92 7s. It will thus be seen that on coming into existence the Canterbury Education Board not only had no funds with which to carry on its general administration, but was actually faced by a deficit. The matter has been placed before the Department, and an application made for an advance at least sufficient to cover the old Boards' deficits on Sites Account. The Board regrets that so far the Minister has not seen his way to accede to the request, except to make an additional grant of £400 towards the cost of enlarging the Elmwood school-site. The Board wishes to place on record the very unsatisfactory position disclosed, and to ask that as a matter of urgency its reasonable request may be granted without delay, The total expenditure on buildings for the year 1916 was £19,609 4s. 2d., as follows :—

Conveyance and Board of Children. —The expenditure on account of the conveyance of children to school and for the board of children living a long distance from a school was £2,969 lis. 4d. The number of children conveyed to school was 651, in addition to fifty children conveyed to manual-training centres. Boarding-allowance during the year was paid in respect of seventy-six children. Maintenance.— -The total expenditure on primary salaries for the year 1916. including £3,369 2s. lid. for house allowance, £703 lis. 4d. for relieving teachers, and £9,148 18s. 7d. war bonuses, was £166,651 3s. The salaries paid to teachers in secondary departments amounted to £6,532 10s. Id. The following table shows the expenditure on salaries and incidentals for the year mentioned :—

Incidental Expenses of Schfiols. —i-The matter of incidental expenses of schools is one to which the Board, has given anxious consideration. The adoption of . a scale absorbing ..approximately £900 over and above the allowances calculated under the Eighth Schedule of the Education Act, 1914, is ample proof of the Board's desire to do its utmost in assisting Committees to meet their incidental expenses. Whilst admitting that the allowances agreed upon are still inadequate, the Board is also compelled to recognize the fact that any further provision from- its general funds is impracticable. In view of the undoubted increase that has taken place th& last few years in the cost of labour, fuel, and material, and feeling that the grant made, by the Department is insufficient to meet this increasing expenditure, the Board recently called a conference of School Committees and members of Parliament to discuss the matter in all its bearings. The Board trusts that the resolutions carried at the Conference will convince the Department .thai, it is absolutely necessary that the grant should be increased if the public schools of the Dominion are to be maintained in good order and sanitary condition. Resolutions passed at Conference held on the 9th February, .1917 :— " That the Government has recognized the increased cost of living in all departments of administration except in the provision for local administration of its primary schools such provision remaining the same as in the pre-war period, for which period it was really insufficient, and is now utterly inadequate. This Conference, having full knowledge of the matter, declares it impossible on the sum now granted to defray the necessary administrative expenses of the Boards, and with the balance to maintain the public schools in a state of ordinary cleanliness, comfort, and decency, and therefore demands, in the vital interests of the children attending them, that the Government grant for the above purposes be increased forthwith to at least 13s. per capita on the average attendance." " That this Conference entirely repudiates the principle of any funds being raised locally for the ordinary necessary maintenance expenses or equipment of public schools, whether sums so raised be subsidized by the Government or not." " That other Boards throughout the Dominion having expressed themselves in sympathy with the Canterbury Education Board's effort to secure an increased capitation allowance, the Canterbury Education Board and the Canterbury School Committees Association be requested to convene a Dominion Conference on the matter during the next session of Parliament, at which Conference all New Zealand Education Boards and School Committee Associations shall be represented." Irregular Attendance. —During the year the names of 2,107 children were either sent in by head teachers or taken direct from the various school registers by the Truant Officer (North and South Canterbury). Arising from these 1,736 ordinary notices to parents and 191 of a final nature were issued. Court proceedings were taken in eighty-nine cases, in fifty-six of which fines amounting to £17 12s. were inflicted, in addition to costs £12 12s. The Truant Officer reported that during the year, as regards the lower classes, the attendance at a great many schools had been seriously affected owing to illness among the children. On the other hand, the attendance of children in the upper standards throughout the whole district had been very good. In the town and suburban districts many inducements are held out for children to leave school before obtaining the necessary qualifications. This difficulty, the Truant Officer reports, is becoming more acute, and will require very careful attention in the future. A Truant Officer has also been appointed for the West Coast districts, and all head teachers have been requested to forward to him the names of children who attend irregularly. The Board relies upon members of School Committees and parents generally to co-operate with the teachers in securing a good attendance, as otherwise good progress cannot be made. Scholarships. —There were 426 candidates for Junior National Scholarships—l 94 girls and 232 boys. Of these, fifty-seven qualified —twenty-four girls and thirty-three boys. Three successful candidates had been attending sole-charge schools, seven schools of Grade 111, and forty-seven schools of Grade IV and upwards. For the Senior Scholarships there were 105 candidates-sixty-two gills and forty-three boys. Of the twenty-three successful candidates, nine were girls and fourteen boys. For the two Gammack Scholarships there were ten candidates. The first four in order of merit having qualified for National Scholarships, the Board has awarded Gammack Scholarships to the two next candidates on the list, both of whom passed the Junior University Examination with credit. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including thirty-four aided schools, but excluding seven side schools, was 378. classified as follows :—- Schools open f'lJradc.

given and at the end of the year 1916, also the number of children on the rolls, the approximate number in average attendance, and the percentages of attendance: —

School Staffs. —There were 969 teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1916. Of these, 373 (165 males and 208 females) were head teachers or in sole charge; 478 (73 males and 405 females) were assistants; and 11.8 (26 males and 92 females) were pupil-teachers. There were in addition 82 (7 males and 75 females) probationers and 25 sewing-mistresses in small schools in charge of male teachers. Manual and Technical Instruction. —During the year the increase in attendance at the Christchurch classes has further accentuated the need of an additional centre. In domestic science the work of Standard V classes has improved as a result of the extra quarter-hour given at each lesson, besides providing more facilities for housewifery. The introduction of breadmaking as part of home science and of metal-work in combination with woodwork, both vocational subjects, has increased the interest of the pupils in their work. The classes at outlying centres have been continued on much the same lines as in previous years, those at Ashburton, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Temuka, Timaru, and Waimate having well maintained the high character of work done in a multiplicity of subjects. As regards the teachers' classes held in Christchurch, owing to the small support accorded cookery and woodwork the Board has discontinued these subjects, in both of which, it may be remarked, students in training have opportunity of receiving instruction. Owing to the amalgamation of districts it became necessary to appoint a Supervisor whose whole time would be available for the direction and supervision of the work, a change to the necessity of which Mr. Howell, the Board's Director, himself drew attention, although involving his own retirement. For the past ten years Mr. Howell has discharged his duties with much success, his ability as organizer and Director of the Christchurch classes having been especially noteworthy. The appointment of Supervisor has been.given to Mr. Ritchings Grant, whose long experience, (in South Canterbury and elsewhere) and enthusiasm for the special duties to be undertaken are a guarantee that every endeavour will be made, to co-ordinate the work with the ordinary school subjects and place the classes throughout the whole district on a satisfactory basis. Training College. —During the past year the enrolment of students (forty-six second-year and sixty-nine first-year) constituted a record in the history of the Training College. One hundred and three were ex-pupil-teachers or ex-probationers (Division A) eight of Division B (matriculated) and four of Division C (University graduates), the students of the two latter groups not having had any previous experience as teachers. The limitation of space, to which the Department's attention has been repeatedly called, has been much in evidence. As the Hon. the Minister of Education has made himself acquainted by personal inspection with the urgent need for improved working-conditions, there is ground for belief that the Board may shortly be authorized to commence the erection of a new College more suitable in every way than the building at present in use for training purposes. In his report the Principal also emphasizes the need of a hostel, more particularly for the women students, who, living away from home as many of them do, at present lack those facilities for study as well as other benefits which a suitable hostel in close proximity to the Training College would provide. The Principal's report deals with many matters of interest, and furnishes general information relating to the staff and courses of study. Inspection. —To most of the 385 schools open at the close of the year two visits of inspection were paid, while forty-one private schools were also visited. The number of pupils examined in subjects of the Sixth Standard and the results achieved are given in the following table :— Number Proficiency Competency Examined. Certificate. Certificate! Public schools ... ... ... 2,236 1,377 419 Private schools ... ... ... 225 131 42 Special examinations ... ... ... 203 99 65 2,664 1,607 526 The important duties in connection with medical inspection have been solely discharged with energy and enthusiasm by Dr. E. Baker, who, it is pleasing to note, will in future be able to avail herself of the School Nurse recently appointed by the Department. In many of the schools a very high level of efficiency in physical training has been reached, due to the untiring efforts of the instructors, ably seconded by the whole-hearted co-operation of the teachers. Agriculture. —The number of schools having recognized classes was 186, compared with 173 for the previous year. The total number of children receiving instruction in school-gardening during the year was 3,066. Mr. Martin reports that the adoption of a uniform syllabus of instruction and the holding of the spring school of instruction have resulted in important work being done at many schools. The rural course has been carried on at the District High Schools

at Darneld, Kaiapoi, Kaikoura, Lincoln, Oxford, Pleasant Point, Temuka, and Waimate, while it is expected to be introduced during the present year at Akaroa, Geraldine, Greymoutli, and Hokitika. In the southern portion of the district definite educative results have been obtained by the testing of several varieties of lucerne, green-manuring with mustard, ryecorn, and vetches, and by variety tests with mangels and potatoes. Mr. Moodie also reports that in fruit-tree culture and nursery-work the majority of the teachers in his district have now a good grasp of the subject, the results on the whole being most gratifying. Mr. Moodie further reports that there is ample evidence of a real live interest in the work not only by teachers and pupils, but also by parents as well. In proportion to the enlarged sphere of operations it has been necessary for the Board to increase its special staff of instructors. The Board regrets that owing to -ill health, consequent upon the strain and physical injury suffered during his period of service with the Expeditionary Forces, Mr. B. Moodie, who was appointed assistant instructor towards the close of the year, has been compelled to send in his resignation. The War. —During the year 1916 sixteen teachers, five Training College students, and two members of the Board's office staff joined the Kxpeditionary Forces, making altogether sixty-six (forty-six teachers, eighteen students, and two members of the office staff) who have taken part in the defence of the Empire. At the date of this report sixteen additional teachers have joined the Forces since the Ist January. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. C. H. Opie, Chairman

OTAGO. Sib, — . Education Office, Dunedin, 31st March, 1917. In accordance with the requirements of the Education Act, 1914, the Education Board of the District of Otago has the honour to present the following report of its proceedings for the year 1916: — Board. —At the beginning of the year the Board was constituted as follows : North Ward— Messrs. Donald Borrie, James Mitchell, and George Livingstone (elected in the room of Mr. Andrew McKerrow, deceased); Central Ward—Messrs. William Scott, James Wallace, and William R. Brugh (elected in the room of Mr. G. C. Israel, deceased); South Ward- —Messrs. D. T. Fleming, Parker McKinlay, M.A., and James Smith. The alteration of the wards, rendered necessary under the provisions of the Education Act, 1914, and the Education Amendment Act, 1915 (No. 2), took effect on the Bth August, 1916, and the elections held in accordance with these Acts resulted in the return of the following members : Urban Area—Messrs. William R. Brugh, James Wallace, James H. Wilkinson, and Robert H. S. Todd; North Ward—Messrs. George Livingstone and Donald Borrie; Central Ward—Messrs. James Smith and James Horn; South WardMessrs. David T. Fleming and Parker McKinlay, M.A. The Board is thus composed of ten members instead of nine as previously. At the first meeting of the new Board in August Mr. D. T. Fleming was elected Chairman. The following were the Board's representatives on various educational bodies: Council of the University of Otago—Mr. P. McKinlay, M.A., Otago High Schools Board —Messrs. I). T. Fleming and William R. Brugh; Waitaki High Schools Board— Mr. James Mitchell; Boards of Management of Associated (Technical) Classes—Dunedin, Messrs. P. McKinlay, M.A., James Wallace, and W. R. Brugh; Oamaru, Messrs. James Mitchell and F. S. Aldred; Milton, Messrs. P. McKinlay, M.A., and W. B. Graham. Number of Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the 31st December, 1916, was 261, being an increase of four on the figures for the previous year. Two were half-time schools, seven were household schools, and one was the small school at the Pleasant Valley Sanatorium. Nineteen had an average attendance below 9, seventy-three from 9 to 20, fifty-nine from 21 to 35, fifty-seven from 36 to 80, fifteen from 81 to 120, six from 121 to 160, five from 161 to 200, two from 201 to 240, three from 241 to 280, seven from 321 to 360, one from 401 to 450, two from 151 to 500, four from 501 to 550, three from 551 to 600, and five from 601 to 650. Household schools were started at Wilden, Barewood, and Killermont, and the household school at Shannon was discontinued.

(special teacher), 1 : total, 34. There were fifteen male teachers and sixteen female teachers acting as substitutes for those tibsent on military duty. For the past two years the ratio of male to female teachers has been: Adult teachers—l9ls. 100 males to 175 females; 1916, 100 males to 215 females. Pupilteachers and probationers—l9ls, 100 males to 321 females; 1916, 100 males to 251 females.

There were 115 appointments of adult teachers made (including four made under the War Legislation Amendment Act). There were eleven male and nineteen female pupil-teachers appointed, and seven male and twenty-two female probationers. Of these, twenty-three had passed the Matriculation Examination, thirty-one had passed the Intermediate or the Public Service Junior Examination, and four had passed the Proficiency Examination. Attendance of Pupils. —The mean of the average roll, average of attendance, and percentage of average attendance for the four quarters of the year were: Average roll, 21,880; average attendance, 20,237; percentage attendance, 924. Both the roll number and the average attendance for each quarter were higher than for the previous year. The mean roll number shows an increase of 110 (or o's per cent.) and the mean average attendance an increase of 221 (or 1 per cent.) over the figures for 1915. The mean average attendance for the year is the highest ever attained in this district. The following table shows for each twenty years since the institution of the Otago Education scheme in 1856 the number of schools, the number of teachers, the number on the rolls, and the average attendance :— Year.

Twenty-seven candidates reached the ordinary standard of qualification (62| per cent.). There were thus thirty-three Junior Scholarships awarded to pupils in the Otago District. Of the ninety-seven candidates for Senior Scholarships sixteen gained the qualifying percentage of marks. Of the eighty-seven scholarships current at the close of the year, thirty-six were Junior National, eighteen were Senior National, sixteen were Junior Board, and seventeen were Senior Board. Twenty-seven were held by girls and sixty by lads. The Principals of the secondary schools they attended reported that almost without exception the conduct and diligence of these pupils were most exemplary, and their progress was very satisfactory. Finance. —The following statement shows the main items of expenditure compared with the figures for the previous year :— 1915. 1916. £ a. d. .£ s. d. Teachers' salaries and lodging-allowances... 99,567 4 0 104,039 8 0 Payments to School Committees for incidental expenses ... ... ... 6,422 2 7 6,312 6 3 School buildings, purchases of sites, house allowances, manual and technical buildings and apparatus ... ... 15,215 4 6 15,976 14 9 The war bonus paid to teachers in Otago amounted to £6,568 Is. 2d. The expenditure on school buildings included—General maintenance (repairs, alterations, and small additions), £8,123 14s. 4d.; rebuilding, £1,041; new buildings, £5,238 12s. 5d.; purchase of sites, £152 12s. ; house allowances, £1,276 13s. id.; manual and technical purposes, £144 2s. Bd. Ages of the Pupils. —The average ages of the pupils were: Preparatory, 6 years 8 months; Standard I, 8 years 11 months; Standard 11, 9 years 11 months; Standard 111, 11 years; Standard IV, 12 years; Standard V, 12 years 8 months; Standard VI, 13 years 7 months; Standard VII, 15 years. Compared with the previous year the pupils in 1916 were, on the average, younger by one mo-nth in S4, by two months in Class P, S3, S5, and S6, by three months in S2, and by fourteen months in S7; while they were older by three months in SI. Rural Instruction in District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual and Technical Instruction. —Wool-classing classes for adults were held at Herbert, Maheno, Totara, Duntroon, Cromwell, Clyde, Omakau, Lauder, and Poolburn. Instruction in elementary handwork (paper-work, cardboard, plasticene-modelliug, brushwork, &c.) was imparted in practically all the schools in the district. Cookery and woodwork training was carried on at various centres, thirty-eight schools participating in the instruction in the former subject and thirty-six in the latter. The average attendance was —Cookery, 1,1.08 girls; woodwork, 1,150 boys. Special classes for adults in typewriting, book-keeping, beaten-copper work, and painting were held at Milton. The present trend of agricultural development demands special instruction in agricultural principles and methods. Through the medium of the school-garden an important step is made towards forming a basis for such future instruction by creating a sympathy with rural environment, and establishing correct notions of the elementary principles of agriculture. Instruction with this objective has been carried on in 190 schools under the supervision of the Board's instructors in agriculture. The interest in the school-garden competitions continues to be well sustained. In many cases the products of the school-garden have been disposed of to the material advantage of the local patriotic funds, while the cocksfoot-seed-saving campaign organized among the schools realized £35. This amount was devoted to the purchase of wool for the needlework, of the schools that assisted in collecting the seed. During the year three thousand additional trees and native shrubs were distributed from the Training College students' garden to fifty-two schools. The total number of students receiving instruction at the Dunedin School of Art was 560 including 108 day students, 142 evening students, 123 Training College students. 114 pupilteachers and probationers, and 73 adult teachers,

iii—B, 2 (Ap ( >. a.)

[Appendix A.

The expenditure on manual and technical instruction was : Salaries, material, &c, for school classes, £4,126 2s. Bd. ; and for special classes, £1.314 135.; buildings, furniture, and fittings, £144 2s. Bd. : total, £5,584 17s. 4d., being an increase of £124 19s. Bd. over the previous year. School classes were held throughout the year at the Municipal Baths in Dunedin, and during suitable weather at the Municipal Baths in Oamaru. Pupils from twenty-two schools participated in the instruction, the average attendance being 640 boys and 536 girls. The cost of the classes was £178 95.. while the amount of Government capitation earned was £147. Truancy. —The Truant Officer served 353 notices on parents and guardians for infringements of the Act, while 262 cases of irregular attendance were investigated by him. Penalty summonses to the number of sixty-six were issued under section 66 of the Act, sixty-four convictions being obtained and two being withdrawn owing to the children concerned being committed to the industrial school. The fines inflicted and the costs awarded amounted to £24 2s. 3d. Of 108 pupils in classes below Standard VI in Dunedin. and suburbs who terminated their school course in December, 1916, two were in Standard I, four were in S2, fourteen were in S3, forty-two were in S4, and forty-six were in S5. All the pupils in question had, however, reached the exemption age of fourteen years. Although the attendance suffered somewhat from epidemics of measles, whooping-cough, and mumps, which occurred in various parts, and from the severe snowfall in the month of August, the percentage of attendance (914) for the year is most satisfactory. The shortage of labour in the country districts compelled farmers and others to utilize the services of their older children to a greater extent than usual, but the Board has no reason to believe that children were kept away from school to an unwarranted degree. Very few concessions in attendance were asked, and nearly all the appeals when investigated appeared to be justified, Of the twenty-five city and suburban schools, two attained 96 per cent, of attendance for the year, four attained 95 per cent., twelve attained 94 per cent., four attained 93 per cent., one attained 92 per cent., one attained 91 per cent., and one attained 90 per cent. Training College. —The total number of students enrolled was 127, comprising 22 men and 105 women. The education districts represented were: Otago, 77; Southland, 29; Canterbury, 20; Nelson, I. The allowances paid to them or on their behalf were: Bursaries, lodging-allowances, and travelling-expenses, £6,1.76 1.55. ; College fees, £1,043 14s. : total, £7,220 95., or £896 15s. sd. more than in the previous year. The accommodation provided at the College for the women students is not adequate for more than half the number now attending, and some amelioration of the conditions is most desirable. The question of the boarding arrangements for the women is also a serious one. In connection with this matter the Principal in his report points out that last year sixty-nine women students had to board in Dunedin, and expresses the opinion that the most urgent- need of the College at the present time is the provision of a College hostel. With this view the Board concurs, and trusts that the Government may be able at an early date to give this matter the attention it unquestionably deserves. Certificates. —The number of pupils of the public schools examined for proficiency certificates was 1,658. Of these, 1,258 (or 75 per cent.) obtained the certificate, while 155 (or 9 per cent.) were granted certificates of competency in Standard VI. The number who gained proficiency certificates is about 4 per cent, lower than in 1915. Incidental Expenses of Schools. —The Board continued during 1916 to pay School Committees according to its own scale instead of limiting the payments to the amounts provided by the statute for this special purpose. This entailed upon the Board the payment out of its General Fund of £365 10s. 9d.. making the total payments the Board has made out of this fund to Committees for incidental expenses £950 17s. 4d. Inspection of Schools. —The Inspectors' estimate of the efficiency of the schools is as follows : Excellent or very good, 20 per cent.; good, 46 per cent. ; satisfactory, 24 per cent.; fair to inferior, 10 per cent. These figures indicate a fall of 4 per cent, as shown in the best group, an increase of 6 per cent, in the " good " group, and a fall of 2 per cent, in the two lowest groups. The Inspectors state that when it is remembered that nearly 20 per cent, of the teachers are untrained and uncertificated, the efficiency of the schools may be regarded as very satisfactory. The order, discipline, and tone of the schools are, the Board is pleased to know, being maintained at a very high level. Buildings. —This year's operations, like those of the previous year, have been confined to works of an urgent nature, and therefore no progress in the way of improvements to either schools or residences can be reported. Care was taken to keep the buildings from suffering through lack of repairs or painting, but no unnecessary expenditure was incurred. New schools were erected at Waenga, Conical Hills, Wyllie's Crossing, and St. Clair; additions were made to the schools at Alexandra and Otekaike; and alterations to the school at Glenomaru. The Pukema School was shifted to a new site, and a new residence was erected at Waipiata. Up-to-date furniture is being made for all new school buildings, and also where alterations are being carried out. Pupil-teachers, Probationers, and Training-college Students .—The Board is of opinion that, compared with the salaries obtainable in civil life, the payments made to pupil-teachers, probationers, and training-college students are inadequate to entice in sufficient numbers to the important profession of teaching the youth (especially the lads) of intelligence, character, and energy. It is to be hoped that as soon as normal times return, if not sooner, the Minister may be able'to make a decided increase in these, salaries. There is also, the Board believes, too much 'disparity between the salaries of pupil-teachers and probationers. There does not seem any great reason why a pupil-teacher should receive £55 for each of the two years of his course, while a probationer who has passed the same examinations, who goes through almost the same course of training, and who assists almost equally in the teaching work of the school, should receive only £35. The scale of boarding-allowance for pupil-teachers requires amendment : either an equal amount for each year should be allowed as is done in the case of probationers, or the payment should be increased each year, not curtailed. It seems strange that a pupil-teacher should get a boarding fee of

XVIII

Appendix A.]

E.—2.

£20 in his first year and only £10 in his fourth year, when he requires much more to keep him. The Board also puts forward a plea for the recognition of the service of pupil-teachers and probationers towards their classification. It sees no reason why the services of these teachers should not count as ordinary service of equal length, as is clone in the case of students in the Training College. If this cannot be granted, then probationer service should be counted as half-service, as pupil-teacher service is. Grade 0 Schools. —The Board desires to emphasize the necessity for increasing the capitation allowed for schools with an average attendance below nine. The interests of the Dominion demand that people shall settle in the back country, and one of the greatest hindrances to the opening-up of the outlying districts is the want of educational facilities. The Board feels warranted in saying that the State should do considerably more than it is doing to bring the children of the remote and isolated localities under the influence of trained and capable teachers. The War — Roll of Honour. —Since the issue of last report the following thirty-two teachers and officers of the service of the Board proceeded on active service [not printed here; see Appendix B to E.-1..] Senior Inspector Richardson. —The Board records with profound regret the death, in the month of February last, of Mr. C. R. D. Richardson, Senior Inspector for the district. He had a long and unblemished record, and was held in the highest esteem for his ability and integrity, his devotion to duty, and his sympathy with the teachers of all grades. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. D. T. Fleming, Chairman.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 15th March, 1917. In accordance with the requirements of the Education Act, 1914, the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year ending the 31st December, 1916 : — Board.- —At the beginning of the year the Board consisted of Messrs. IL A. Archdall (Chairman), G. ; E, Amos, J. Findlay, D. Gilchrist, A.. Lowrie, J. Mac-Gibbon,. H. E. Niven, J. C. Thomson, M.P., and G. T. Stevens. In conformity with the provisions of the Education Act, 1914, this district was divided into urban and rural areas. The rural area was subdivided into wards named Central, East, and West respectively. The urban area was named Invercargill Urban Area. Under the same Act the Board, which previously consisted of nine members, was reduced to eight. The old Board retired from office on the Bth August, 1916. An election of members for the new wards and the new urban area of Invercargill was held in July. Three nominations were received for the Invercargill Urban Area, five for the Central Ward, three for the West Ward, and two for the East Ward. The voting resulted in the election of Messrs. Gilchrist and Stevens as members for the Invercargill Urban Area, Messrs. Amos and Perrelle for the Central Ward, Messrs. Finlay and Thomson for the West Ward, and Messrs. Mac Gibbon and Niven for the East Ward. At the ordinary meeting held in June the Board accepted with regret the resignation of Mr. H. A.. Archdall (Chairman), who had removed to Canterbury, and placed on record its high appreciation of the valuable services he rendered for a number of years as Chairman and member. At the meeting of the new Board held on the 9th August Mr. Gilchrist was elected Chairman of the Board for the ensuing two years, and at the same meeting the Board passed a resolution appreciative of the services of the retiring member, Mr. A. Lowrie. At the November meeting Mr. Amos resigned, and the special election to fill the vacancy on the Board for the Central Ward was fixed for the 9th January, 1917. The Board's representatives on the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools Board are Messrs. G. T. Stevens and J. C. Thomson; those on the Board of Management of the Southland Technical College are Messrs. H. E. Niven, P. A. de la Perrelle, G. T. Stevens, J. C. Thomson, and A. L. Wyllie; those on the Gore High School Board are Messrs. I). Gilchrist, H. E. Niven, and J. Mac Gibbon; while Mr. Stevens and the Hon. T. Mac Gibbon, M.L.C, represent the Board on the Training College Committee of Advice and the Otago University Council respectively. During the year to which this report refers twelve ordinary and two special meetings of the Board were held, while the Executive Committee met twenty-two times. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year was 182, being a decrease of three on the figures of the previous year. A household school was opened at The Keys, while the schools at Beaumont. Macetown, Five Rivers, and Half-way Bay—the two last named being household schools —w T ere closed during the year owing to reduced attendance. The 182 schools were graded as follows : Grade 0, 11; Grade I, 50; Grade 11, 40; Grade lIIa, 55 ; Grade IKb. 7 ; Grade IVa, 3; Grade IVb, 5; Grade IVo, 3; Grade Vb. 3., Grade Vc, 1; Grade Vlb, 1; Grade VIIa, 1; Grade VIIo, 1; Grade VIIo, 1. Demonstration. Schools. —ln view of the large number of inexperienced teachers in its service, the Board again respectfully urges upon the Department the need for establishing one or two demonstration schools in this district, so that the inexperienced teacher may be sent for a week or two at intervals for the observation of and practice in methods of teaching and school-manage-ment. In the absence of a training college in this district the Board trusts that the Department, will establish at least one model school to meet the demand which undoubtedly exists. Attendance. —The attendance at the schools continues to increase steadily. The following are the figures for the past five years : — Average AvcrTigc Vmaaatnm Roll.

Included in the numbers recorded above there are 105 Maori or half-caste children—sixty-one boys and forty-four girls. There were at the end of the year nineteen schools in this district where Maori or half-caste children attended. The percentage of average to weekly roll number, as well as the actual average for the year, constitutes a record for this education district. The Board has to express gratification at this result, especially in view of the fact that an abnormal amount of sickness was prevalent in many parts of this district during the latter part of the year. The regulation of the Board requiring teachers to furnish, on a form provided for the purpose, a monthly statement of the attendance at each school, together with the fact that most parents are alive to the value of a sound education for their offspring, has contributed in no small degree to the creditable record of attendance during the year. Although the above regulation was framed partly for the benefit of teachers, the Truant Officer has again and again to report the neglect of a number of teachers to comply with it. Parents and guardians should note that there is now no provision whereby a child may absent himself from school on any one half-day of the week. The Truant Officer in his report to the Board on his year's work states that he has sent out 378 notices to defaulters, issued sixty-nine summonses, and secured fifty-one convictions. The amount of fines inflicted was £13 os. 6d. As a reward for regular attendance the Board in terms of regulations under the old Act, provided two classes of attendance certificates —viz., first and second class. The former were issued to all pupils who were present on every day on which the school was opened, and the latter to those who were absent not more than five half-days on. which the school was opened. In accordance with regulations under section 70 of the Education Act, 1914, the issue of two classes of certificates has been abolished, and in lieu thereof the Department has issued only one form of attendance certificate, which is issued to all pupils who have not been absent more than five half-days on which the school has been opened. The certificate issued by the Department cannot be compared, either in the quality of the paper or in design, with the certificates formerly issued by the Board. Teachers. —At the end of the year there were in the Board's service 433 teachers. The following table will show the distribution of the teaching staff in the schools under the control of the Board :— Men. Women. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... ... 53 22 75 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... ... 39 66 105 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 18 1.36. 154 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... ... 11 23 34 Probationers ... ... ... ... ... 7 22 29 Teachers of needlework ... ... ... 28 28 Manual and technical teachers ... ... ... 4 4 8 132 301 433 Of the adult teachers in the service of the Board at the close of the year 203 were certificated, eight held licenses to teach, and 123 were uncertificated. These figures, as compared with those of the previous year, show a slight decrease in the number of certificated teachers. This reduction of the number of certificated teachers is due almost entirely to' the absence at the front of a number of qualified teachers. In 1901 the numbers of male and female teachers were about equal. This year the figures show a proportion of two females to every male. For many years the Board has experienced great difficulty in obtaining the services of male pupilteachers and probationers. During the year the Board gave notice of dismissal to six teachers who, in spite of frequent warnings, had failed to obtain even partial success in the teachers' examination. In spite of the fact that there is the service of the Board a large number of uncertificated teachers, many of whom have but limited experience and some no experience at all, the work of educating the boys and girls of this district is carried on in a satisfactory manner. For the year 1916 the expenditure on teachers' salaries amounted to £58,119, an increase of £1,850 as compared with the previous year. The amount of the grant from the. Department for relieving teachers amounted to £258 175., while the expenditure amounted to £296 lis. Instruction of Teachers.— Classes for the benefit of teachers were conducted from the Ist April to the 11th November, two sessions each of thirteen weeks being held. The subjects of instruction were drawing, music, advanced needlework, agriculture, zoology, hygiene, cardboardwork, mathematics, English, and school method. The number of teachers who attended each class was as follows: Drawing (five classes), 91; music, 32; needlework, 57; agriculture (two classes), 42; zoology, 1.7; mathematics, 19; cardboard-work, 18; English, 21; school method, 28; hygiene (three classes), 88. During the second term, in accordance with the requirements of the Department, the attendance of pupil-teachers and probationers was restricted to classes in drawing, handwork, science, and singing, and the numbers for other classes therefore suffered a reduction. During the term holidays in September special classes in agriculture and hygiene were held for the week to enable teachers who intended to sit for these subjects at the next examination to satisfy the requirements for the certificates in practical work It is pleasing to report that the attendance of teachers was quite satisfactory, evidencing the fact that the large majority were doing their best to take advantage of the facilities provided by the Department to enable them to improve their status. Towards the close of each term examinations were held by the instructors, and the results, though in a few cases disappointing,' were in advance of those of the previous year. Of those teachers who by reason of the remoteness of their schools could net attend Saturday classes six took advantage of the provision made by the Department to enable them to receive instruction through the medium of correspondence classes. Scholarships. —For the Junior National Scholarship Examination there were ninety-eight candidates; —twenty-six less than in 1915; and for the Senior forty-nine candidates—one more than in 1915. Fifteen Junior Scholarships and three Senior Scholarships were awarded.

Medical Inspection. —During the year the Department's Medical Inspector visited some of the larger schools in this district. In last year's report the Board recognized that a good beginning has been made with the medical examination of school-children, and hopes for the extension of the work as circumstances permit. At present only the larger schools are visited, and the examination is confined to those children in Standard II who appear to be suffering from some physical defect. As a nation's efficiency depends to a large extent on the physical soundness of its men and women, and in view of the fact that we are losing during the present titanic struggle the cream of our manhood, it behoves us to build up a vigorous manhood by laying the foundation in the children of to-day. To assist in attaining the desired object this Board and its officers are only too willing to assist in every possible way the Medical Inspector in improving the condition, both mental and physical, of our boys and girls. Physical instruction. —ln last report the Board expressed the opinion that the time was ripe for another course of physical instruction to its teachers, and as a result of representations made to the Department steps were taken to hold early in January a " refresher course " under the direction of the Department's instructors. In spite of the fact that these training classes meant the curtailment of the Christmas holidays, the response made by the teachers to the invitation to attend these classes was so gratifying that the Board placed on record its appreciation of the readiness with which teachers had offered to attend the various classes for training. In view of the importance of physical training to the boys and girls attending our schools, the Board has arranged for a competition in physical exercises among the primary schools in Southland. The winning team obtains possession for one year of a handsome shield designed to perpetuate the memory of the late Mr. Galloway, at one time physical instructor to this Board, and presented to the Board by a committee consisting of some of the leading citizens of Invercargill. With the Medical Inspectors and physical instructors co-operating the results must be highly beneficial to the health and general welfare of our young people. Conveyance and Board of Children. —The amount disbursed by the Board on the conveyance and board of children who live a long distance from the nearest public school was £1,527, as compared with £1,383 in 1915. There are seventy-two schools where parents have availed themselves of the provision thus made by the Department for educating their children—an increase of twenty-one as compared with the previous year. The Board still fails to see the reasonableness of the regulation which authorizes only half the cost of the conveyance of children between the ages of five and seven years, and respectfully recommends the Department to amend the regulation in the direction of allowing the full grant to the younger children. The Board again expresses the opinion contained in last year's report that riding-horses and bicycles should not be excluded from the means of conveyance on account of which the allowance will be made. School Committees. —The Board desires to express its appreciation of the manner in which School Committees generally have co-operated in the management of the educational affairs of the district. During the year the incidental allowances paid to Committees have totalled £3,944, this sum being £553 in excess of the amount provided by the Government. The Board has been enabled to pay the larger sum owing to economy in various departments under its control. The Board, however, wishes to intimate to School Committees that the scale of payments for incidental expenses is to be reviewed in March, 1917, and, if necessary, modified. Even with the increased allowance the Board recognizes that many Committees, especially those of the lower-grade schools, have great difficulty in keeping on the right side of the ledger. The Board has insured School Committees against liability under the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Acts so far as these apply to caretakers and casual workmen, provided that at the end of each year (31st December) School Committees show clearly on their balance-sheets the payments made for wages during the previous year. Board's Regulations. —During the year the Board, in consequence of the coming into operation of the Education Act, 1914, was compelled to revise its regulations. These will be printed and circulated in due course. Buildings. —The Board's building staff has been, kept busy during the year. Additions were erected at Invercargill North, Otautau, and Tuatapere, and new sanitary conveniences in brick were erected at East Gore. Works now in hand are additions to the school at Mimihau, replacement of the old school at Myross Bush, and the erection of a new school at East Limehills. The residents of East Limehills showed their public-spiritedness by contributing a handsome sum towards the cost of the school buildings. The usual renovations of a number of schools and residences were undertaken. This work is now carried out entirely by the Board's workmen, and has been systematized in the direction of covering, in rotation every six years or thereabouts, all the school buildings in the district. When the workmen have finished at one school they move to the next nearest, and in this manner the renovations are effected without loss of time or needless expense in moving hither and thither. The Board finds, too, that with a competent staff it can erect new buildings or additions at a minimum cost, and generally of a more substantial nature. Dual desks of an improved pattern are about to be installed in a number of the larger schools. As funds permit the present long desks with which most of the schools are equipped will be replaced by the new furniture. Drainage, fencing, and other works have been attended to, and the buildings are, on the whole, in good order. The environment of a number of our schools, however, could be considerably improved by quickened interest on the part of Committees. A school building and its grounds ought to be cared for as a national institution of the first importance, and should form an object-lesson to the scholars and to the district in order, neatness, and beauty of surroundings. Finance and Accounts. —For the year just closed the result of the Board's operations financially has been quite satisfactory. From a. perusal of the balance-sheet it will be seen that the balance to credit of both General and Buildings Accounts has increased, the former by £1,035 14s. 4d., and the latter by £1,015 18s. 3d. In view of the conditions at present prevailing, however, it behoves the Board to exercise the strictest economy in administering its finances. I have, Arc., Duncan Gii.ohrist, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

A PPEND I X B. REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, 1916.

AUCKLAND. Sir, — Auckland, 31st January, 1917. We have the honour to submit for the year 1916 pur annual report on the public primary schools of the Auckland Education District, and on those private schools whose inspection was undertaken by the Department. At the close of the year the number of public schools in operation was 630, a decrease of thirteen on the previous year, owing mainly to the transference of twnty-one schools to the Taranaki District and eight schools to the Wanganui District, as a result of the changes brought about by the recent readjustment of education districts. Thirty Native schools, thirty-one Roman Catholic diocesan schools, and nine other private schools were also inspected. The following table gives the number on the roll and the number present at the annual examination in the case of each class of the public primary schools :— Number on Present at Roll. Annual Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 372 310 VI ... ... ... ... 3,135 3,024 V ... ... ... ... 4,353 4,234 IV ... ... ... ... 5,231 5,114 111 ... ... 5,767 5,603 II ... ... ... ... 6,272 6,021 I ... ... ... ... 6,817 6,480 Preparatory ... ... ... ... 19,063 17,500 51,010 48,286 This table shows a decrease for the year of 303 on the roll number, and 618 on the number at the annual examination. The total enrolment in the Roman Catholic Schools was 3,849, of whom 3,609 were present at the annual examination. During the year, but chiefly towards its close, a total number from all schools of 3,574 candidates were examined for Standard VI certificates; of these, 2,477 obtained certificates of proficiency and 569 certificates of competency, five of the latter securing merit endorsement This result shows that of those examined 69 per cent, obtained proficiency and 16 per cent, obtained competency certificates. Nearly all schools were visited twice during the year. The demands of duties elsewhere and the closing of schools, or the absence of teachers when Inspectors happened to be in the neighbourhood of their schools, prevented our paying two visits in every case. About the middle of the year Mr. Warren, who had already enlisted for military service, was transferred to Hawke's Bay for a few weeks prior to going into camp. Since Mr. Warren's appointment to the inspectorate he has rendered highly efficient service, and all who know him, though greatly appreciating his sense of duty and patriotic spirit, will regret his absence from a field of activities in which he has been such a conspicuous success. Towards the end of the year Mr. Alexander McGregor, headmaster of the Whangarei School, came to our assistance for a short time, and carried out the duties of inspection with much care and thoroughness. General. Buildings. —A good deal of attention of late years has been directed to school buildings with special reference to ventilation. So important has this phase of education become that we hear much nowadays of the " open-air school," opinion in some quarters expressing itself in terms highly condemnatory with regard to even the more modern building. A good deal of misconception still exists as to the term " open-air school." There are, of course, such schools, but these are almost entirely confined to the needs of physically defective children, who require special treatment under special conditions. It is impossible to get rid of the necessity for class-rooms of some kind, and what is really meant by an open-air school is a building admitting the maximum amount of fresh air. The planning of such a building presents considerable difficulty, and if it consists of a number of connected class-rooms, obviously, the majority of these cannot be open on more than two sides. The importance of fresh air in the case of children, however, is so great that no effort should be spared to secure a plentiful supply in all cases, and we would do well to ask ourselves if the type of building hitherto considered as satisfactory should not give place to something more jn keeping with modern requirements. We note with satisfaction that i—E, 2. (A P p. b)

[Appendix B.

already some Boards have made a beginning in this matter with the erection of class-rooms offering the maximum amount of ventilating-area, so that in time, with the gain of experience, we may hope for the gradual evolution of the ideal hygienic structure. Nowhere in New Zealand are conditions more favourable for the introduction of open class-rooms than in this district, and we look forward to seeing the extension of some such buildings as the Board proposes to erect in connection with the Tauranga District High School. Entrance, to Training Colleges. —Each year a number of pupil-teachers and probationers fail to qualify by examination, for entrance to the training college. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining an adequate supply of teachers these young people almost invariably secure employment, and are sent out to country centres as assistants or sole teachers. We fully recognize the grave objections to lowering the attainments qualification for entrance to the training college, the level of which should tend to rise rather than fall as the years pass; but just now, when trained teachers are so urgently needed, we are of opinion that some relaxation of regulation whereby the candidates we refer to could be admitted to the training college would be a distinct gain to the community. These young people have already been through two or more years' training, and have reached a stage when the experience of the training college is most likely to be followed by the best results; they begin to teach without this experience, and many of them remain in the service. Having done so much towards equipping them for their future work, should not the State, in the interests of its children and in view of the existence of the necessary facilities, make it possible for them to complete the training already begun ? Supply of Teachers. —The difficulty of obtaining an adequate supply of efficient teachers has become increasingly great owing partly to the number of teachers who have enlisted for military service, and partly to the rapid expansion of settlement. The result has been that we have been obliged to sanction the appointment of a large proportion of uncertificated teachers, including a considerable number of those who under normal conditions would be regarded as inefficient, and would fail to secure employment. Training of Inexperienced Teachers. —In this large and growing district, with so much outlying settlement, no problem is more urgent than that of the training of inexperienced teachers. The output of the training college is rapidly absorbed, and we are obliged to accept the services of those absolutely without experience. The usual method of procedure is to allow a candidate for employment to attend a suitable school for a few weeks for observation and practice, and to require the head teacher to report on the candidate's general fitness for the work of teaching. If the report is favourable and the candidate is recommended by an Inspector he is informed accordingly, is allowed to apply for suitable vacancies, and frequently secures appointment. His teaching experience extends over only a few weeks, his knowledge equipment may be measured by a standard slightly in advance of that reached by a Sixth Class pupil, and his ability to manage a school is an unknown ouantitv, and vet we are obliged to accent his services or leave a number of our schools unstaffed. What opportunities have many of these teachers for improvement, and what chances have the unfortunate children of obtaining adequate training and instruction? It is true the teachers might attend the training college for short courses, but many of them have not sufficient knowledge or experience to profit by the training, and others are too> poor to bear the necessary expense. The Inspector does what is possible to advise and help, but the limited time available for each school prevents him from giving the necessary assistance. Several remedies suggest themselves. An increase in the number of Inspectors would enable more time to be devoted to visits of inspection, and hence greater assistance to be given where this was needed. A supply of organizing teachers specially selected for their ability to cope with the conditions described, whose work would consist in showing the inexperienced what is meant by successful method, and who would spend sufficient time at each school to be of real service to the teacher, would go far in the direction of promoting increased efficiency. The setting-up of observation schools with suitable staffs where promising beginners would have opportunity of noting the operation of approved management would probably be the most economic and effective way of dealing with this very important matter. In several of our former reports we have referred at some length to the need for the " observation school/ and we would again urge the pressing claims of existing conditions for this or some similar remedy. Standard, VI Certificates. —The examination for the award of these certificates takes place towards the end of the year, and is confined for the most part to the subjects English and arithmetic. Regular and efficient instruction in other subjects is also demanded, but these, hitherto, have not been tested at the time of examination. In our last year's report we stated regretfully that there were good grounds for believing that in many schools, between the dates of the Inspector's visit-with-notice and the Sixth Standard examination, subjects other than English and arithmetic are very largely if not entirely neglected, a method of procedure quite contrary to the spirit and intention of the syllabus. We have hitherto refrained from setting papers in subjects carrying merit marks, believing as we do that these thrive best under treatment leading to oral tests; but our warning of last year appears in many cases to have borne but little fruiF, and we are reluctantly obliged to announce that in future the written, examination will from time to time include tests in the subjects referred to. The strictures embodied in this paragraph do not apply to all schools, many of which continue to work on full programmes throughout the entire j'ear, but only to those schools whose teachers fail to realize their responsibility to syllabus-regulation and education demands. Promotion and Classification of Pupils. —There are still an appreciable number of schools, both large and small, where pupils remain too long in the preparatory department, with the result that their progress through the classes is permanently retarded. The normal child—and the great majority of children are normal —should be able to dispose of tjie work of the preparatory department within two years, and teachers should realize how essential it is that no unnecessary delay should occur at any stage of the child's progress. It is not an uncommon experience to

Appendix B.J

III

meet with pupils in a primer class who have mastered a good deal of the work usually included in the programmes of Standard I. In such cases not only is progress appreciably retarded, but incentive to work is actually discouraged. We notice further a tendency to exact an unduly high standard of attainments before promoting to Standard VI, the result in some cases being to deprive pupils of the opportunity of gaining Sixth Standard certificates of competency. We would again point out that the test of efficiency in the case of either teacher or school is not the percentage of pupils promoted from class to class, nor the number of successful candidates presented for Standard VI certificates, but, amongst other considerations, the general level of attainments obtaining throughout all classes and the degree of discretion shown, in determining promotions generally. In connection with the question of promotions, two other matters demand attention. Some teachers are in the habit of promoting pupils immediately after the Inspector's visit-with-notice, which may take place at any time during the latter half of the year. To do this is to act contrary to both letter and spirit of syllabus, and perhaps to do an injustice to the pupils concerned, for one of the reasons for requiring promotions in all schools to be made at the same time is to secure, so far as possible, uniformity of progress, so that when pupils move from one school to another they are liable to continue work under approximately similar conditions, and so minimize the disturbing influence so frequently accompanying change of teacher. The making of promotions at any other time but at the beginning of the year might, obviously, interfere very seriously with the progress of pupils obliged to move from school to school. Further, it tends to give the Inspector a false impression of the efficiency of the school, for he may be examining pupils who have been nearly twelve months in their respective classes, whereas, had promotions been made at the proper time, the experience gained in these classes would be measured by a much shorter period. Another form of promotion to which we wish to draw attention is that known as the " provisional " promotion. We recognize that this at times is quite justified, frequently acting as an incentive to greater effort, and hence, under certain circumstances, should be freely made. The cases of provisional promotions to which we take strong exception are those in which the promoted pupils are put back into lower classes a few weeks before the Inspector's annual visit, for here again the Inspector, knowing nothing of the matter, is apt to form an erroneous opinion of the progress and general efficiency of the school. Should it become necessary to move pupils into lower classes at the time indicated, the matter should be fully reported to the Inspector, otherwise the teacher's action may bear an unpleasant construction. Schemes of Work. —The importance of these can hardly be overestimated, for next in importance of teaching-ability are the arrangement of studies and the details of programmes. A carefully compiled, well selected, and suitably co-ordinated scheme of work applied with skill and energy can hardly fail in securing successful achievement, whereas no amount of skill and energy can wholly compensate for ill-chosen, badly assorted, and feebly correlated schemes. We are glad to note that teachers in general are beginning to realize the truth of these contentions, and are showing both skill and earnestness in the preparation of schemes of work. There are, however, still a number of schools where the programmes in use leave a good deal to be desired, and where co-ordination between the various subjects of instruction is wholly or in part lacking. This is noticeable mainly in composition and English, and to a lesser degree in geography and naturestudy. Teaching Notes. —Closely allied with schemes of work are the plan and method of presenting lessons, and, if these are to do justice to selected programmes, they must appear in logical sequence and give evidence of careful preparation. We regret to say that many teachers, especially those in small schools, do not fully realize the necessity for adequate preparation and very frequently come before the class with an altogether imperfect conception of plan and method. It is almost unnecessaiy to add that, unless the lesson-plans have been carefully thought out beforehand so that each lesson follows logically upon the preceding one, the teaching must necessarily lack definiteness and aim, and hence fail to secure the results desired. We are of opinion that neglect of preparation is the cause of a good deal of disappointing work, and we would strongly urge the necessity, especially in the case of the younger and less experienced teachers, of making the regular and systematic preparation of lesson-plans an essential feature of their work. Keeping of Records. —Though in the main these are methodically labelled and carefully kept, there are still a number of schools where very little system is shown; where such important documents as the Inspection and Syllabus Regulations, the inspection report, not to mention the papers worked by pupils at the periodical examinations, are not immediately available, but are finally discovered in the depths of an untidy cupboard amidst a jumbled mass of books, utensils, and miscellaneous material. Many teachers, in short, fail to realize the need for developing a sense of orderliness and its importance in school environment. Physical Instruction and Medical Inspection. —During the year short courses of physical instruction have been brought within the reach of a large number of teachers, who have gladly availed themselves of the opportunities offered. The plan adopted in the case of country districts has been to assemble teachers within a suitable area at some convenient centre for a three-days course of instruction, their schools being closed for that period. On the conclusion of the course the instructors move on to another centre, where a similar three-days course is held. The Medical Inspector accompanies the instructors, and is occupied partly in an examination of one or more classes in the central school and partly in giving short addresses and practical demonstrations to the assembled teachers. These " refresher " courses are mainly intended to stimulate interest and augment the instruction previously received, and the success which Las followed their introduction and working is highly gratifying. In addition to country classes others have been held in the Auckland area, where the instructors have also visited, a. considerable number of schools and have been of great assistance to teachers.

[Appendix B.

Intervals. —There is a tendency in some schools to deprive pupils, even those in the preparatory classes, of an afternoon interval, and to shorten the midday recess. A short interval in the afternoon is an absolute necessity in the case of younger children, and where these are concerned in no case can its abandonment be sanctioned. The midday recess in all cases should extend over at least one hour; any shorter time than this, even in the case of country schools, is insufficient to enable pupils to obtain the needed relaxation from class-room effort. To act as some teachers are doing in the matter of shortening or abandoning the intervals set apart for relaxation is to ignore methods that scientific investigation has proved to be of great hygienic value. School-grounds. —lt is gratifying to find that increased attention is being paid to the matter of improving the appearance of the school-grounds by planting and fencing, and, what is of greater importance, by arousing in pupils a feeling of pride in their surroundings and a desire to prevent injury to school property. In many cases the appearance of the playground has been very appreciably improved and brightened by the formation of a garden in which both pupils and parents are interested. The amount of work done by the pupils themselves, however, in connection with the playground varies considerably from school to school, and this is just the kind of work likely to bear fruit in after-years. What we mean is, that it is still a common experience to find hired labour doing work which could readily be undertaken by some of the pupils— e.g., trimming hedges, erecting light fences, digging rough ground, removing ti-tree or small roots. Such work under the direction of the teacher would be enjoyed and respected by pupils, and would assist in no small degree in encouraging and developing that spirit of self-help and self-reliance, one of the main objectives of education. Conference of Teachers. —About the middle of the year we had a conference with the members of the Headmasters' Association, to which teachers generally were invited. A representative gathering assembled in the hall of the Training College, where a pleasant and profitable day of two sessions was spent. The subjects for discussion were selected by a committee of teachers and the Senior Inspector, and .included some of the larger questions and problems of education in which the people of the Dominion are interested. In addition to this conference, at which all the Inspectors were present, others were held between individual Inspectors and teachers from time to time, at which methods of instruction and school-management, aims and details of workschemes, construction of time-tables, staffing arrangements, training of pupil-teachers and probationers, and other similar subjects were freely and frankly discussed. We are more than ever convinced of the great importance of these meetings between Inspectors and teachers, which offer such splendid opportunities for the removal of misunderstandings, the solution of difficulties, the clearing-up of misconceptions and the explanation of policy, and which tend towards promoting a feeling of mutual confidence and respect. In many parts of the world a strong feature is made of the meeting of Inspector and teachers in conference, and we look forward in this district to a gradual increase in what has already been done in this direction. Instruction. Progress. —ln view of the difficulties, already mentioned, of procuring and maintaining a supply of efficient teachers, we regard the general progress of education in this district as satisfactory, for although, as we indicated in a former paragraph, much remains to be done in the direction of further improvement, we can point to a relatively large proportion of efficient schools whose influence is gradually extending, and to a large number of zealous teachers fully alive to the importance of modern developments and genuinely anxious to discharge their onerous and responsible duties in the interests of the community and of the State. Reading, Comprehension, and Recitation. —In a considerable number of schools reading is well taught, pupils being able to read with ease and fluency and to reproduce in their own words the meaning of the passage read with some fullness and accuracy. There are still, however, many schools where these conditions do not obtain. In spite of the regulations issued four years ago making the use of a continuous reader mandatory and that of a miscellaneous reader optional, a number of teachers persist in postponing the use of the continuous reader till late in the year. They place it last instead of first. In such cases there is a lack of silent reading, one of the most fruitful methods of encouraging and developing the reading habit. In some schools simultaneous reading still persists, and in others, where simultaneous reading has been abandoned, simultaneous recitation is still retained. Simultaneous work of this kind destroys individual responsibility, conceals individual defects, and obscures individual merits. If it does not actually substitute noise for quality, it undoubtedly tends to do so. These remarks do not apply to simultaneous recitation in the preparatory department. Comprehension of the matter read shows improvement; but there are still too many schools where an unduly large proportion of the time which ought to be devoted to reading is occupied in explaining the meaning of words in such a way as to isolate them from the context. Comprehension should aim at leading pupils to appreciate the meaning of the text, and, although understanding the significance of each word in a paragraph will undoubtedly assist in the process, the weary monotony of. the method as frequently applied can hardly fail to discourage interest and check any desire to read for information or pleasure. We have frequently during the course of our visits tested pupils by asking them to read a few lines of simple matter and then explain them, and the results in many cases were altogether disappointing. No method of teaching reading, which must include what is known as "comprehension," can be deemed satisfactory which does not aim at training pupils follow with intelligence the author's meaning from paragraph to paragraph and have some appreciation of the.general sense of chapter or book. There is a growing practice, much to be commended, of selecting classic extracts for recitation. It is doubtful, however, if any good purpose is served by the memorizing of a number

Appendix B.J

E.—2.

of disconnected scraps of from two to five lines in length, as we have observed in many schools. Further, examination of the pieces selected, in quite a number of cases, makes one suspect that the teacher's acquaintance with literature does not extend much beyond the class reading-book. Again, we not infrequently find that the same selections are used year after year, so that a shrewd pupil in a lower class may quite conceivably in his passage through the school learn the pieces he may be required to recite when he reaches Standard VI. Though these remarks do not apply to the majority of schools, we regret to say that they do apply to a very considerable number. Spelling. —lt is only in recent years that educationists have come to realize that a child has three vocabularies —(1) its reading vocabulary, (2) its spoken vocabulary, and (3) its written vocabulary. The first is the most extensive, and the third is the smallest; and yet we require a child to spell correctly all the words in his reading-book— i.e., practically all the words he can read. A glance at any of the reading-books in use in our schools will reveal the fact that they— one and all—contain large numbers of words which are outside the written vocabulary of the reader; and in the Fifth and Sixth Standard books are many words that the average person would never use in writing. Then, again, spelling is seldom taught; a number of words, varying from a dozen to twenty or thirty, are set for homework, and the pupil is expected to be perfect in the spelling of these next day. The words set are generally the longest, the most uncommon, and the most irregular in the lesson, while the pupils' composition exercises show that it is usually the small, everyday words that are misspelt. Further, it would appear that, as a rule, spelling is regarded as a visual exercise, whereas those who have interested themselves in the psychology of the subject are of opinion that there are children who learn more readily through the ear than through the eye, and some who learn only by writing the word a number of times. With a little trouble on the part of the teacher spelling could be made much less burdensome, and probably more accurate than it is. If, in each class, three new words were taught per day—not merely as words, but as words in sentences: written on the blackboard, spelled aloud, and embodied in sentences by the class—the child would have a written vocabulary of about six hundred words a year, or over four thousand during his school life; and four thousand words, properly chosen, would more than suffice for the written expression of the thoughts of Standard VI pupils. Writing. —Experiments -in the direction of securing greater speed combined with legibility have been made in a number of schools. In some cases the results are hopeful, in others they are disappointing. There is little doubt that the speed attained in the majority of our schools is not sufficiently high, and that pupils are prone to regard a writing test as the one exercise which on no account must be hurried, as something detached from ordinary written work, and hence as an end instead of a means to an end. We wrote at some length on this subject in our report for 1914, and do not propose to repeat what has already been said, further than again to draw attention to what is being successfully accomplished in other countries. When a pupil reaches Standard V or Standard VI he should have developed such control over the muscles used in writing as will enable him to write legibly at least from ten to fifteen words per minute. The writing test set at the recent examination for Standard VI certificates consisted of two words to be written in text-hand and a prose extract of 212 words to be written in the pupil's ordinary hand, for which the time allowed was half an hour. If five minutes were spent on the two texthand words—and this appears to be a very liberal allowance—there would still remain twenty-five minutes in which to write 212 words: i.e., the exercise could be completed in the allotted time at an average speed of eight and a half words per minute. Only a very small percentage of pupils were able to complete the exercise, and a large number wrote less than half the words set. The quality of the writing in the schools remains much the same as in former years. Composition. —We cannot discover much improvement in this subject. In the larger and more efficient schools it is well taught and well advanced, pupils in the upper classes being able to write easily and at some length on any suitable subject. In other schools, however, we notice the same weakness and faults as in former years, and in some but little effort towards improvement. It should never be forgotten that the ability to evolve ideas, marshal them in logical sequence, and find for them suitable expression is not given to every child—indeed, is the heritage of but few —and hence in the great majority of cases regular and systematic instruction is necessary. Children must be taught how to deal with and expand a subject, how to follow out lines of reasoning, how to exhaust one phase before passing to another, and how to arrange details so as to bring out effective expression. We are more than ever convinced that where the subject shows weakness the reason lies in want of teaching, failure to realize the importance of oral composition, and lack of appreciation of the value of good models suitably dealt with. English. —Closely allied with composition is the subject commonly known as " English," a comprehensive term, but here applied to instruction in such portions of grammar, analysis, synthesis as are needed to enable pupils, amongst other things, to express themselves easily ami readily either orally or in writing. No subject requires greater care in the preparation of a suitable scheme, no subject lends itself in larger degree to co-ordination with other phases of work, and no subject, if well handled, gives more encouraging results. A good scheme must have its roots in the lowest classes, gradually grow through the standards, expanding as it rises, and present an unbroken surface throughout its entire length. We fear these obvious truisms are too often lost sight of, and that many teachers do not fully appreciate the possibilities in a good scheme of English, nor the necessity for exercising extreme care in its preparation. Much useful assistance in drawing up schemes in this subject may be obtained from the following publications : "Model Class Books of English," Chambers and Ker (Blackie); " Teaching. Composition," Feasy (Pitman); "On the Writing of English," Warner (Blackie); " The Writing of English," Brewster (Home University Library); "A First Book in Writing English," Lewis (Macmillan).

Appendix B.

Arithmetic. —In many schools this subject is well and logically taught, and the results achieved are most encouraging. To those schools where progress is not satisfactory the following remarks apply: The pupils in the preparatory department have not a clear and accurate knowledge of number up to the limit, professed, and have not learnt to dissociate the abstract from the concrete : i.e., they can add or subtract with the aid of counters, but are unable to perform simple operations when these aids are removed. Here, as elsewhere, teaching, where possible, should bo practical and make large use of the concrete; but when once the relationship between numbers has been established and the principles underlying operations understood pupils should be trained to memorize and apply the discoveries made. We referred to this matter last year, and are more than ever convinced that the disappointing results too often met with in all the lower classes spring mainly from lack of ready and accurate knowledge of tables. In Standard I, and to a lesser extent in Standard II, mental arithmetic is not always satisfactory, pointing to lack of systematic and continuous effort. Most of the work in these two standards should be mental in character. The appearance made in the upper standards showed a slight improvement, though pupils in Standard V are still unable to deal effectively with much of the prescribed syllabus. We are inclined to think that some of the programmes selected for this class are too ambitious in scope and aim, with the result that thoroughness in the understanding and application of principles to some extent suffers. The work of the two upper standards is very similar in character, becoming progressingly difficult towards the close of the higher course, and teachers sometimes fail to grasp that the more advanced work in the programmes common to both classes should be excluded from the schemes of Standard V. In few schools do we find any attempt to apply short methods, and yet from both utility and educative standpoints these are the methods which promise to secure the most hopeful results during school life and after. History and Geography. —We have nothing further to add to what has already been said in former reports on these subjects. In some schools they are dealt with in a highly gratifying and successful way, and pupils show a sound appreciation, of the liberal programmes presented. In others the level reached, though by no means high, in view of conditions of teaching and circumstances generally may be regarded as satisfactory. In addition to the schools included in these groups there are still a considerable number left where results are disappointing, and where the use of suitable text-books would be of considerable service. We have always been of opinion that the teaching in these subjects gains considerably by the judicious use of appropriate books. The text-book alone will not be sufficient; no amount of "learning" on the part of the pupil will compensate for lack of oral instruction, which must always be a strong feature in the selected programme; but the assistance which the text-book can be made to render, under judicious guidance, is too valuable to be ignored. We should like to see the civics programme extended and made a stronger feature in many cases, in view of the importance of the considerations with which the subject deals and the far-reaching effects attending its successful development. Drawing. —In many schools some very fine work is being done, and the requirements of the syllabus are being fully met. In many, however, drawing falls far short of requirements both in scope and in quality. It should be noted that syllabus-demands cover the following: (1) Free drawing, including drawing from nature and drawing from fashioned objects; (2) instrumental drawing; (3) design; (4) colour work. Practically all schools take nature drawing, and, as a rule, the work is very creditable. Most schools also take object-drawing, but, owing partly to failure to teach the principles in a methodical way and partly to the choice of unsuitable objects, the treatment in far too many cases is by no means satisfactory. Good results cannot be expected unless there is some definite teaching of the foreshortening, first of circles in different positions, and then of straight-line objects, such as boxes, cubes, open doors, &o. In the schools where brushwork is taken as a handwork subject, colour work is as a rule well done, and some highly artistic work is produced. Many, however, do not take it up seriously, and in these the results are poor. Instrumental drawing, too, does not receive the attention, it deserves. In every class from SI upwards there should be regular practice in the use of instruments, starting in the lower classes with the ruler and set-square and in the senior division including compass and protractor. In schools where woodwork is taken the drawing done in connection with it is usually good. In schools where woodwork cannot be taken the instrumental drawing of S5 and S6 ought to be connected with cardboard-modelling. Design is probably the least satisfactory branch of drawing. Though occasionally we find a school where really excellent work obtains, in the great majority either practically no attempt is made to teach it or the results are poor. The poor work is usually due to failure to teach the elementary principles, repetition, alternation, symmetry, radiation, &c, and failure to connect the work with some useful purpose in the pupils' lives. Blackboard drawing is taken by nearly all schools in classes P, SI, and S2. In the best infant departments some very fine work is shown, chiefly in nature and object drawing and in imaginative drawing. The value of blackboard drawing in classes above S2 is not appreciated. If a few minutes during each lesson —or, better, about five minutes every day-—were devoted to freeline practice on the blackboard, if would be found to have an excellent effect in training the muscles to obey the wili and in thus giving freedom with the pencil and brush. Straight lines, circles, spirals, trefoils, and leaf-forms will be found useful for this purpose. The work should be done almost at arm's length and at a fair speed, and the lines should be gone over several times, the aim being to develop facility of movement. The drawing syllabus seems to involve a considerable amount of work, but by directly correlating it with other subjects, or one branch of drawing with another, much can be done to lessen the amount of time actually devoted to it. For instance, most of the nature drawing can be done in connection with nature-study; the apparatus set; up for different experiments in the science course, the thermometer, barometer, and rain-gauge, will provide useful examples for object-drawing; whilst instrumental drawing can be linked with paper, carton, or cardboard work. Colour work can be done in various ways:

Appendix B.

E.—2

some will prefer to tint free pencil drawings, or even instrumental drawings; others, again, will prefer to do free nature drawings in colour without the aid of the pencil; while still others may prefer to combine colour work and design. Nature-study and Agriculture. —One of the main objects of nature-study is to put the children iii sympathy with nature, to give them an intelligent interest in their environment, and to develop a desire for beautiful surroundings; but it is not enough that nature-study should aim merely at creating "an atmosphere." Such teaching is in danger of becoming hazy, indefinite. It is quite possible to lead children to an appreciation of the beauty of nature and at the same time to give it a distinct utilitarian bias. It adds greatly to the effectiveness of teaching to have in view some definite purpose, and in a country like ours that definite purpose should be to prepare the way for subsequent lessons in elementary agriculture. Hence a large part of the nature-study work in every rural school should consist of lessons on plant-life, with a few on insects and other topics directly or indirectly connected witli agriculture or horticulture. The lessons on plant-life should be so chosen that by the time a pupil is ready for promotion to S5 he will be able to recognize the weeds and grassses in the school-ground, and have a fair knowledge of such topics as the following : Conditions necessary for germination and growth, the more obvious functions of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit, and how these functions are discharged; the life-history (including the seed and mode of germination) of a few typical plants, say two per year— e.g., bean, wheat, potato, &C, Such a course would form a very good foundation for a course in agriculture, or in agriculture and dairy science combined. Further, this kind of work in the lower classes, followed by a course largely agricultural or horticultural in S5 and S6, is well suited for many town schools, for why should not the town boy be fitted and encouraged to take up country life if he so wishes? We find it necessary again to draw attention to the lack of co-ordination between indoor and outdoor work in many schools where elementary horticulture forms part of the curriculum. It is most necessary that pupils should be familiar with actual gardening operations, but it is equally necessary that the training involved should not be limited to purely manual effort. And yet we constantly find schools where training in horticulture is practically confined to operations in the garden itself, and where little or no class-room work is provided for in the programme. We would refer teachers to the remarks on this matter made in our annual report for 1913. Handworh. —Though the teaching of handwork is in many schools really very good, there are a great many in which the treatment is not nearly so satisfactory. It is essential that handwork should be developed in an orderly and systematic way, and that in each school there should be a definite progressive scheme of work. Such a scheme is often wanting. The handwork in the infant classes is usually good, that in SI and S2 frequently so, and that in S5 and S6 usually very good where provision is made for cookery and woodwork. In S3 and S4, however, results are too often disappointing. In most infant-rooms modelling in plasticene is most creditable, and some very fine imaginative work is done in the illustration of stories. In the junior classes the value of modelling as an aid to nature-study and free drawing is not fully understood. The problem in drawing and modelling is twofold—first to train pupils to observe and appreciate form, and second to represent form; and there is no more effective means of securing this appreciation of form than actually fashioning the object—leaf, twig, or fruit—constantly comparing the representation with the reality. Not only is the drawing improved, but the powers of observation are trained, and the knowledge gained in the nature-study lessons is made more real and definite. In paper-work, too, the chief fault lies in a failure to make the best use of it as an aid to other subjects, or rather as a means of teaching other subjects. Paper-tearing can be used to illustrate stories; paper-cutting can be used in connection with early lessons in design; paper folding and cutting should be used in order to make elementary geometrical notions real to the child, and to give him a training in certain parts of arithmetic; and in all these occupations there will be found opportunities for training in language. Obviously deftness of fingers and neatness and accuracy of work should be amongst the objectives, but the primary aim should be to use the paper-work as a means of teaching other subjects. It is to be regretted that more schools do not undertake a course of carton and cardboard work in S2, S3, and S4. It would provide an interesting and extremely effective way of teaching instrumental drawing, geometry, and mensuration. * # # * * x We have. &c, E. K. Mui,qan. Maurice Priestly. CnAs. W. Garrard. N.

TARANAKI. Sib,— New Plymouth, 13th March, 1917. We have the honour to submit for the year 1916 our annual report on the public primary schools of the Taranaki Education District and of the private schools inspected.. At the end of the year the number of public schools in operation was 149, including six half-time schools. Of this number seventy-five were in charge of sole teachers. The private schools inspected number fifteen, with a total roll of 996. The following table shows for each of the standard classes the number on the roll and the number' present at the annua] examination :— Number Present at Annual on Roll. Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 52 49 „ .

In August the enlargement of the district came into operation, resulting in the addition of forty-five public and six private schools, and it was found that to pay annual visits to all the schools and to give the usual time to the larger ones was not feasible. As the whole district was new ground to one Inspector and part of it was so to the other, an attempt was made to gain acquaintance with as many schools and teachers as possible, and this proved a very strenuous task. The northern part of the new district, owing to the wide distribution of the schools and the bad roads, offered special difficulties. Conditions. —With reference to conditions under which the schools are in operation, it is satisfactory to report that in spite of the fact that dairy and other farming forms the main occupation of the people the regularity of the attendance is commendable. Owing to the free use of horses few pupils have to walk long distances, and there is hardly any sign of mental weariness sometimes attributed to the children in a dairying district. It is satisfactory to note that a full school year is maintained. It is usual, except where epidemics have reduced the number, to find that the schools have remained open on at .least 420 half-days during the year. The district suffers from the general scarcity of trained and qualified teachers, especially in connection with the smaller schools. Of the head and sole teachers and assistants 126, or 45 per cent., are uncertificated. Many of these have, however, obtained partial passes or have passed the Intermediate Examination. The training of the teachers offers a real difficulty. Owing to facility in obtaining assistantships in favoured localities the pupil-teachers and probationers have a tendency to avoid attendance at the training college. There are also a large number of teachers that have not had any training, and as many of these are in remote districts it is not easy to meet their requirements. The teachers near the larger centres are provided for by Saturday and other classes, and an effort will be made to assist those in sole charge of the smaller schools by correspondence. Efficiency. —The general efficiency of 1he schools is creditable to the teaching staff of the district. Occasionally some slackness is evident, but the great majority of the teachers exhibit earnest endeavour and keen interest. Of the 149 schools, thirty-one are recorded as very good, forty-five as good, forty-four as satisfactory or very satisfactory, eighteen as fair or very fair, and only one as very weak. Commendable results were presented in the private schools, the teachers of which are keen to adopt methods enabling them to maintain efficiency. Standard VI. —The number of pupils examined for certificates, mostly at the end of the year, was 600. Of these, 388 were awarded proficiency and 135 competency certificates, a percentage of 64 and 23 respectively. A number of the candidates found difficulty in connection with the arithmetic, and the teachers concerned will find it advisable to discover the cause of any defective results. Preparatory Classes. —While there is a general recognition of the importance of this section of the schools, increased application of kindergarten and other sound methods is demanded. In the larger schools this criticism applies to a very small extent. In one school the ordinary routine of the infant-room is supplemented in the lower class by the occasional employment with good effect of Montessori methods. In some parts of the district phonic methods are used in the early steps in reading. The use of wall blackboards and the application of concrete illustration and occupations require fuller attention. Course of Instruction. —The presentation and selection of the course has received wide and careful attention. The general schemes of work and programme followed by pupil-teachers and probationers were usually drawn up methodically and intelligently. The results of term tests were also duly recorded. In spite of the time occupied by special courses in woodwork, or cookery, and in agriculture, a considerable number of schools presented sound work in the full requirements of the syllabus of instruction. English Subjects. —Composition and grammar have both received intelligent treatment in the majority of the schools. Reading and recitation have usually been well prepared, and the inflexion and general expression were fairly good. While spelling is by no means a weak subject, the teachers will increase the utility of its study if in the respective classes attention is concen-

trated on the preparation of words fairly within the vocabulary employed in composition, and by refraining from the attempt to prepare the extended list of words that the pupils are able to master in reading. The writing in general gives evidence of careful instruction, and the written exercises are in most schools worked with neatness and intelligence. Arithmetic. —The results in this subject varied considerably. Where oral exercises and a careful study of the elements form the basis of the instruction, with practice under strict conditions, the final appearance will not be disappointing. The exercises in mental arithmetic set during the annual visits were not attended by a sufficiently high degree of success. Owing to the number of new elements and processes introduced in the syllabus for the Fifth Standard the necessity for thorough methods exists to the greatest extent in that class. Geography. —ln this subject the local institute of teachers drew up and issued to the members a detailed course, and where this was presented it was accepted as suitable. The subject usually received satisfactory treatment, except that the mathematical, physical, and commercial branches were not sufficiently correlated. Drawing. —Good line work in freehand, largely from copies, and the preparation of geometrical exercises, formed in the majority of schools the main course in the subject. Drawing in outline from objects and elementary design, with some use of colour, were included in a few schools, and should form an. important part of the course in all schools. History. —This subject receives a fair amount of attention. The sectional treatment, sometimes adopted, compares unfavourably with the concentric plan, in which biography is prominent in the studies of the younger pupils, and the growth of the Empire and the development of free institutions in those of the older ones. Elementary Science and Nature-study. —A. very prominent part of the course is agriculture. Dairy testing is included, and a large number of schools have suitable school-gardens. The laying-out of the grounds owes a great deal to local effort, and special encouragement is provided by the Tisch and Cuthbert Shields, which are open to competition by the various schools. In arranging the course it is essential to include lessons in health, embodying very elementary physiology, and, if possible, at least occasional lessons to boys in physical measurements. The cookery, health lessons, and needlework will also form the nucleus of instruction in home science to the girls. There is scope therefore for careful consideration of the requirements, while avoiding the temptation to ocupy too large a portion of the available school time Handwork. —lt is seldom found that, at least in the preparatory classes, a course in handwork is not in operation. Sticklaying, paper-folding, and carton-work, with woodwork and cookery in the higher classes, where the opportunity of vicinity to larger centres renders instruction in the latter feasible, are the branches chiefly embodied. Modelling in plasticine and brushwork are selected by some teachers. It is usual to find a number of good specimens of work. There is, however, some need for stricter methods and of correlation with oral expression. Physical Instruction. —All schools the teachers of which have received special instruction include a course of exercises. Exception cannot be taken so much to the degree of precision and interest exhibited in the exercises (although in some cases these are not sufficiently in evidence) as to the general absence of progression in the preparation of the course. In some schools, although the teachers have received special training, barely eight tables have been attempted. Swimming has formed a prominent feature of the physical training in a number of schools. Swimmingbaths are available in. several centres, and a pool in an adjacent creek furnishes a substitute in other places. Singing. —lt was usual to find good tone and tune in the rendering of school songs. In very few cases, however, had notation and reading from sight received attention. A careful study of the requirements of the syllabus of instruction will indicate a suitable method and course. Needlework. —In this subject the schools reached a high standard. As in previous years efforts were directed to the support of Reel Cross and patriotic movements. Discipline. —lt is pleasing to note that there is a wide appreciation of the importance of method in the instruction. It is frequently overlooked, however, by the younger teachers that true discipline arises from the training and occupation of the pupils, and is a matter almost apart from mere class drill. If the work is planned with due attention to gradation and correlation, and if oral exercises are largely employed, natural interest is aroused in the pupils and easy control is an inevitable result. Although there is need to emphasize the importance of this aspect of school-management, it is satisfactory to note that it is receiving increasingly wide recognition. We are, &c, A. J.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Wanganui, 31st March, 1917. We have the honour to present our report for the year ended 31st December, 1916. Inspection. —At the end of the year there were in operation 220 public schools and private registered schools. Two visits of inspection were paid to all but a few tiny household schools situated in remote parts of the district. We found that a number of schools needed more attention than could be given at the regular visits, but with the present staff of three Inspectors we found it impossible to give them more assistance. The appointment of " organizing teachers " to take charge of groups of country schools, or, under the direction of the Inspectors, to work among the less efficient country schools, would do much to enable us to secure greater efficiency, and release the Senior Inspector for more general organizing work affecting the district as a whole. We do not think it at all economical for an Inspector to spend as much as three days in visiting ii—E. 2 (A PP . b.)

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

schools the total attendance at which in some cases does not in the aggregate exceed thirty pupils. The work of guiding the teachers of such tiny schools could be done just as well by a skilled teacher, acting under the general direction and oversight of the Inspector. The call to arms has, without doubt, seriously affected the efficiency of our schools. The appointments to the vacancies caused by enlistments are temporary, and involve in not a few cases the employment of teachers who either have had no experience at all, or who in the ordinary course would have been expected still further to prove their efficiency in the lower grades.' In the main, however, the schools of Grade 111 and upwards have well maintained their efficiency, and in the larger schools we are of the opinion a definite advance has been made. In their case we have sought to secure a closer control by the head teachers of the details of organization, and a more intimate share in general class teaching; in both matters we have met with loyal support. Instruction. —With regard to the subjects of instruction and the methods of teaching, we have urged the importance of bringing the lessons into closer relation one to another — e.g., history to geography, drawing to handwork, &c.—and bringing the instruction into closer relation to the needs of the people. We hope, therefore, to find considerable improvement in the teaching of mental arithmetic, including devices for shortening calculations, and to find history and civics taught more from the view of what the nation requires of its citizens. Formal composition or grammar, as far as is specified in the syllabus, receives careful attention in very many schools, but we regret to note that while the composition— i.e., thought-expression—in the junior division is of excellent promise, that of the senior division in general shows lack of definite advance from class to class. Reading is fluent, but the cultural value of this subject, and of recitation, is not widely enough recognized. The consequence of this is that expressive reading and recitation are rarely heard. One reason given for the weakness is the difficult and uninteresting character of the lessons in the miscellaneous reader; but another reason is lack of temperament in the teacher. If the poetry produces no glow in the teacher's soul it is not likely the pupil will feel any thrill of interest. As regards history, we are glad to say we are much better pleased than we have been for some years past. Geography still suffers from lack of intelligent treatment; but there are notable exceptions among the schools. Drawing and handwork are both improving, thanks to the indefatigable efforts of the Board's special instructor. Physical Instruction and Games. —A very satisfactory advance is being made in all the schools in the direction of giving more attention to the pupils' physical development. During the year refresher courses of training for teachers were held in Hawera, Wanganui (on three occasions), Marton, and Palmerston North. The teachers were greatly interested in these courses, and the schools benefited to a corresponding extent. Organized games now form an important feature of the playground activities of the pupils, and there are few teachers who fail to give adequate attention to playground duty. During the coming year we hope the physical instructor and the medical officer will formulate some simple system of testing the effects of the drill and games, so that we may have more reliable data than we have at present on which to base our conclusions. The time has arrived, too, when more attention should be given to corrective exercises designed to remedy physical defects in children. So far very little has been done in this direction. Buildings and Grounds. —In the main the buildings and grounds are in good order, and there are very few instances of neglect under the present administration. The Board's staff of painters has, however, not yet been able to overtake past deficiencies, and consequently some of the buildings are suffering. During the coming year we propose to make full notes, as far as our ability goes, on the state of the buildings throughout the district. During the year local efforts have resulted in the improvement of several of the school-grounds, and both teachers and Committees are to be complimented on their zeal in this direction. While some of the grounds, particularly in the case of a few of the larger schools, are still somewhat unsightly, we are glad to report that, on the whole, a very satisfactory degree of interest is shown in the school environment. Training of Teachers. —The academic training of teachers, both as regards the special Saturday classes and the correspondence classes, has been exceedingly well carried on during the year. The reports of the instructors show that, except in the case of singing, the arrangements made have been effective in securing both the attendance and progress of our uncertificated teachers and trainees. The usual winter school for teachers working in the remote parts of the district was held, and was well worth the money expended on it. We have every confidence in assuring the Department that the grant made for the training of teachers is well and economically expended. We still feel the need of the model country school for training purposes referred to in our last annual report, and trust that the importance of this matter will not be overlooked.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir,-— Napier, Bth March, 1917. In accordance with your instructions, we have the honour to present the following report on the schools in the Hawke's Bay Education District during the year 1916 : — At the close of the year there were 157 public schools in operation, as compared with 148 at the end of the previous year. During the year ten Roman Catholic schools, nine private registered schools, aiid the primary divisions of five high schools came more or less under review. In addition the Inspectors in Hawke's Bay have now to inspect the Native schools—twenty-nine in number—situated in the district. The following table shows the number on the roll and the number present at the teachers' annual examination :—- Public Schools. .Number Present at on Roll. Examination. Standard VII ...

New Schools. —New schools have been opened during the year at the following places : Pouawa, Mokairau, Otope, Waiomoko, Motea, Motuhora, Tahora, Tarewa, Te Hua, Putorino, Sherenden, Waikohu, and Waiwhenua. The following schools were closed : Bushy Knoll, Wahanui, Arlington, and Matapiro. - School Buildings. —The condition of the school buildings in the district is generally satisfactory, and they are kept in good order. Complaints have been made in a few cases that the premises have been left in an untidy state after being used for local entertainments. We think that in such circumstances the authorities should invariably make provision for having the rooms properly cleaned and set in order for the following day's work. The increase in population in the northern part of the district has led to the necessity for the enlargement of some of the schools there. Additional accommodation is still required to meet the needs of various localities. So far no experiments with open-air schools have been made in Hawke's Bay, though the climatic conditions are perhaps more favourable for such purpose than in many other parts of the Dominion. The epidemics which have occurred during the year have led us to think that it is advisable to provide for the early erection of at least one such building, in order that its efficiency may be tested in relation to the health of the children. The Medical Inspector of Schools, in her valuable report on the epidemic of diphtheria, says, " For the Hawke's Bay climate it would be excellent if greater facilities were afforded for open-air teaching. Open-air class-rooms might be used to relieve the congestion of crowded infant departments." The old-fashioned long desks are still in use in many schools, and there are even cases where two of these are placed end to end without a space between. Proper supervision of the pupils cannot be achieved under such conditions. Further, the sloping and gallery floors which are found in a considerable number of schools should be levelled as soon as possible. Modern desks should not be supplied until this has been done. School-grounds. —The school-grounds continue to receive reasonable attention at the hands of teachers and Committees. The ornamentation of the school-grounds might receive considerable assistance by the raising of suitable shrubs and trees by the pupils taking agriculture in schools situated in localities adapted for such work. Physical Instruction. —The requirements under this heading have been systematically carried out, except in the more remote schools, where the teachers themselves have had no opportunity of receiving instruction. We hope to take advantage of the presence of the physical instructor during 1917 to arrange central classes for the benefit of these particular teachers. Early in the year we were advised that only schools with an attendance of upwards from 120 were to be included in the itinerary of the physical instructor. We are of opinion that all schools of

E.— __.

[Appendix B.

Grade 111 and upwards, if within convenient radius from the larger schools, should be visited, and we have arranged accordingly. Classes in physical instruction for teachers were held on Saturdays at various centres, and proved of much benefit. We are glad to note that in one school at least systematic instruction is afforded in swimming and life-saving, and we hope that this important subject will receive more attention, especially where facilities for bathing are provided. Medical Inspection. —No Medical Inspector has paid a visit to the Hawke's Bay schools in the ordinary way since July, 1915, while the Poverty Bay schools appear not to have been visited since August, 1914. Some years ago expensive weighing-machines were sent to different schools. Cases are known where these have never been used, and they have fallen into a state of disrepair. When the epidemic of diphtheria was at its height, urgent representations were made for the services of the Medical Inspector of Schools. Dr. Paterson accordingly visited the district, and made systematic investigations in every school where the disease was prevalent, with the result that in quite a short time the trouble was overcome. Immediately upon the appearance of an epidemic there arises a demand from the parents that the school should be closed. While we have every regard for the feelings of parents at such times, we would point out that the mere closing of the school does not prevent the spread of the disease, nor does it render the children less liable to attack. In this connection we may again quote from Dr. Paterson's report: " I may add that an unsatisfactory feature of all schools closing on account of an epidemic is the impossibility of controlling the movements of the children during that period. Thus, on being set free from school, hundreds go to the cinematograph, or play about in the streets, and are probably exposed to infection to a greater degree than they would be at school." General Efficiency .--The following remarks are submitted in respect to the quality of the work shown during the year in the various subjects of the curriculum : — Reading. —The reading is, on the whole, satisfactory, and the recitation fair, We think that in every class more attention should be given, to securing an intelligent comprehension of the subject-matter, so that the pupils can express in their own language the sense conveyed by the passage read. It is desirable also that a more natural method of teaching reading should be introduced into many of the infant classes. This should certainly include a larger amount of teaching phonics than is at present made use of, and the earliest lessons should be taught, as suggested in the syllabus, chiefly from the blackboard or from reading-sheets, the primer being withheld until a somewhat later stage. Further, we would draw attention to the fact that, especially in the junior classes, an abundant supply of reading-books is essential. The custom of confining the reading-matter to one or two small books per year is still followed in many schools. The result is that these pupils, whose verbal memory is at its keenest pitch, do not read but simply recite the lesson by heart, and this practice is enhanced in cases by an undue recourse to simultaneous reading. The child should be encouraged to regard reading not as a school task, but as a pleasurable occupation, and as the most natural means of adding to his stock of knowledge. Inquiries made in several cases showed us that there was little or no home reading, especially among country children, whose time is fully occupied by home requirements. The opportunity must therefore be given them for reading as widely as possible at school. This implies a more extensive use of silent reading, suitable books being read rapidly for the sake of their contents. The knowledge of New Zealand history in our schools has undoubtedly been largely increased by the children's own reading in the School Journal, and in the books written by the late Dr. McNab, to whose endeavours to create an interest in the story of their own land the children in this district owe very much. Writing. —Very good writing is common in the district, and the subject may be regarded as being satisfactorily taught. We find, however, that the text adopted in each standard varies when different subjects are being dealt with, children in Standard 11, for instance, using full text in their written compositions and exercises, and half-text in their copybooks. The overuse of full text does not tend to the production of a fluent hand; the text of the copybook adopted for each standard class should be employed throughout all the written work of that class. English Composition. —ln many of the larger schools the English composition is taught with commendable efficiency, but in many of the remaining schools the work falls below the standard that should be expected. The schemes prepared for the early stages of the work lack system, and there are grounds for thinking that the selection of topics for composition lessons is too often haphazard. The value of oral composition is not sufficiently recognized, and it is more or less discontinued beyond Standard 11. After consideration of the work submitted we are led to conclude that the subject does not receive the active teaching that its importance demands, and that there is not sufficient practice given in it. Further, the many mistakes in spelling, and the frequent misuse of simple words, point to the need of more adequate supervision and careful correction. The grammar also shows need.of more consistent treatment, the results being disappointing. We have formed the opinion that for the less experienced teachers the requirements in this branch of English are too vaguely expressed, and that a more definite programme for each standard should be provided. The only other course open is to issue specimen schemes for the guidance of the weaker teachers. Arithmetic. —The arithmetic may be regarded as fairly satisfactory; the need for more extensive practice in mental and oral work has, however, been impressed upon us. The wise teacher is he who takes mental work day after day, without fail. We have noted among the teachers of the infant and lower standard classes a tendency to exceed the provisions of the syllabus in respect to number at the expense of a thorough grounding in the composition of the numbers prescribed and of proper drill in the tables summarizing the results of their practical work. If the composition of the first twenty numbers be taught as thoroughly as it should be, the teachers will find that there is ample work contained in the process to fully occupy the time usually devoted to preparatory work.

Geography, &c. —Geography, history, and science have received reasonable attention during the year, though the need of a more definite scheme in the two former subjects is very much felt by the teachers in the smaller schools. Certainly the history of New Zealand, its laws and institutions, should receive more adequate recognition. Drawing and Handwork. —A good many teachers do not fully comprehend the requirements of the syllabus in drawing, and in this subject, while good work has been done, it has seemed desirable that we should prepare a more detailed programme embodying the minimum requirements of the syllabus. Suggestions have been included therein as to the branches of handwork which may be correlated with the drawing. This has been issued to all teachers, and an opportunity has been afforded them of discussing it with us. Singing. —The purposes of the singing-lessons as defined in the regulations are not widely observed in this district, and while we find that songs are well enough rendered in many schools, there is very little attention paid to voice-training and musical notation, most of the songs being taught by ear. We should like, therefore, to see the teachers have an opportunity afforded them of undergoing a course of lessons in illustration of the syllabus in singing, and are considering how best this can be achieved. Sewing. —The lady teachers have taken up sewing for patriotic purposes with much enthusiasm, and have in this way done very serviceable work. A programme was specially drawn up with the object of adapting the requirements of the syllabus to war needs, and we have been content to accept this in lieu of the more definite demands of the regulations. In schools where this programme is not carried out the ordinary course in sewing is followed. Agriculture, and Dairy-work. —These subjects are organized by Mr. E. G. Loten, Director of Manual and Technical Education under the Board, under whose guidance a large proportion of the schools do valuable work. The programmes of instruction are supervised by the Director, and in this way a duly correlated course of study is followed. Especially in the dairying centres the pupils show much keenness, which is derived from the fact that the school-work has a direct bearing on the home interests. Mr. Loten also arranges the classes of instruction in practical science when teachers are brought to centres, and the courses provided are calculated to give the teachers a proper attitude towards the subject, besides affording them such training as will subsequently be of direct benefit to them in their own schools. Training of Teachers. —That the pupil-teachers receive, as a rule, reasonable and satisfactory instruction at the hands of the headmasters is borne out by their success at the examinations for certificates. A course of lessons and a time-table are arranged by the head teacher, and a diary, countersigned by him, is kept by the pupil-teacher. Drawing and hygiene are taught at Saturday classes, while for practical-science subjects a summer school was this year arranged, extending over a period of two weeks. Advantage was taken of this occasion to include instruction in school method. We consider that a great deal of improvement would be effected were a regular series of criticism lessons taken by headmasters with their pupil-teachers, in order to afford the latter more guidance and tuition in the actual work of teaching. Uncertificated Teachers. —To assist the uncertificated teachers in obtaining their certificates a course of instruction by correspondence was arranged, the practical work in science subjects being taken at the summer school referred to above. The results have just come to hand, and the success achieved has amply justified the expense connected with the classes. It is proposed for the year 1917 to hold a winter school at Gisborne during the first term holidays, the course of instruction extending over a fortnight. The programme of work suggested comprises dairy science, elementary agriculture, school method, and physical instruction. . If this proposal is given effect to it will be of undoubted assistance to the teachers in the more remote part of the district, who have, in fact, no other opportunity of receiving practical instruction. For the uncertificated teachers in the southern part of the district it is proposed to hold a summer school on similar lines in December. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual Instruction. —There are five centres at which special facilities are provided for teaching woodwork and cookery —viz.. Woodville. Dannevirke, Waipawa, Hastings, and Gisborne. In Napier the pupils have in the past attended classes at the Napier Technical School, but we understand that accommodation will not be available for the boys during the coming year. The result is that unless they take cardboard-work, a subject of less practical utility to them, the boys cannot satisfy the requirements of the regulations in respect to handwork for Standards V and VI. It is a serious matter, at a time when industrial training is recognized as being an essential feature of education, that the only provision existing for it in the principal town in the district should be thus cut off, and we consider that the need for a special building, for which application has already been made to the Department, is emphasized by the present position. Grading of Teachers. —The local grading scheme ceased to be operative during the year, and the Board adopted the Dominion grading scheme as its new basis of classification and promotion. It is not intended, however, to apply the principle of Dominion transfer until a full measure of reciprocity is shown by other Boards. We have, &c, W. W. Bird, ) D. A. Strachan, \ Inspectors.

WELLINGTON. Sir, — Wellington, February, 1917. We have the honour to submit our report on the work and condition of the primary schools in the Wellington District. The total number of schools in active operation at the end of the year was 259, together with ten side schools, making 269 in all. During the year a new (aided) school was opened at Lowlands, a new school was erected at Woodbank, and the schools at p'Utitio, Pori, and Pencarrow were reopened. The Native school at Okautete was inspected by us for the first time. Three schools were closed —namely, Akatarawa, Mangapari, Whakaponi—and Kekerangu was closed for the greater part of the year, no suitable accommodation .being available for the teacher. A side school was opened at Worser Bay, and the Roseneath Side School was transferred to new school buildings at Hataitai. In addition to these schools there were twenty-eight registered private schools with a roll number of 2,656, and two special schools with a roll number of 238. Particulars as to standard numbers and average ages, &c., of the 259 State schools are set out in the following table:— Number Present at on Roll. Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 320 309 VI ... ... ... ... 1,943 1,920 V ... ... ... ... 2,331 2,284 IV ... ... ... ... 2,651 2,611 III ... ... ... ... 2,878 2,820 II ... ... ... ... 2,983 2,904 I ... ... ... ... 2,890 2,806 Preparatory ... ... ... ... 7,932 7,398 23,928 23,052 The total number of schools inspected was thus 299, with 26,822 pupils in attendance. In addition to these St. Patrick's College and Scots College were inspected. The following figures show the roll number for the last five years :— ■.,,, . „ „ -t Koil. incrcasi 1 . 1911 ... ... ... ... ... 18,089 1912 ... ... ... ... ... 18,379 290 1913 ... ... ... ... ... 18,865 486 1914 ... ... ... ... ... 19,691 826 1915 ... ... ... ... ... 20,534 843 1916 (old Marlborough district included) ... 23,928 3,394 General Efficiency. —On summarizing our inspection and examination reports we gauge the efficiency of the schools as follows : Satisfactory to very good, 209; fair to satisfactory, 35; inferior, 7. With two exceptions the schools which are classed as less than satisfactory are in Grades 0, 1, or II. The two exceptions are in Grade III. In the majority of the weaker schools their condition is largely due to frequent changes of teachers. The number of Standard VI certificates issued was—Proficiency, 1,234, or 64'3 per cent, of S6 pupils present at examination ; competency, 398, or 20'7 per cent, of S6 pupils present at examination. The following table shows the number of certificates issued in public schools in each of the last five years :—

The percentage for 1916 in both grades of certificates is less than in 1915, but the change in the Proficiency Regulations can hardly be held responsible for this, as a reference to the figures for 1913 and 1914 shows. As a matter of fact, in applying the new regulations to the examination schedules of 1915 it was found that the difference was so small as to be almost negligible, being less than \ per cent.

Owing to pressure of work some thirty primary schools, chiefly in the northern part of the district, received only one visit. Our estimate of the efficiency of the primary schools (Marlborough Ward not included) in the several groups of subjects is shown in the following table : —

Of the class subjects there is a decided improvement in history and in political geography, such improvement being due probably to the great interest created by the war. The true position of handwork in a scheme of education is gradually receiving greater recognition at the hands of the teachers. The woodwork of S5 and S6 is now more popular than formerly, and work ranging from satisfactory to -good has been done at the different centres. The senior instructor in woodwork who visits these centres from time to time reports that " Good efficient work has been done throughout the year in the fifty-seven primary and nine secondary classes." Nature-study and practical gardening constitute the science of most of the small country schools, and in work of this class satisfactory progress is being made. In the larger country schools a more advanced programme in elementary agriculture is adopted. A three-years programme has been drawn up to combine experimental work inside the school with practical work in the garden. The senior instructor in agriculture reports, " The course has been working for three years and has proved very satisfactory." In addition to the science programme lessons in health and temperance have been given regularly during the year. The exhibitions held in Wellington of needlework, &c, done by the children for patriotic purposes clearly show that, in general, the teaching of this subject is good. Without doubt the keen interest taken by all in work for our soldiers has given the teachers an opportunity which they have not been slow to make use of in improving the quality of such work. Hardly a school in the country has failed to forward some articles useful for the soldiers at the front, or for the orphaned children of Belgium. During the year fifty-five primary classes (S5 and S6) have taken lessons in home science, including practical work in cookery, at the various centres; nineteen have taken lessons in laundry-work. This latter branch of the work will be extended during the j'ear when the other centres for laundry-work are completely fitted up. The Marlborough Ward is excluded from these figures. In the Marlborough Ward satisfactory progress has been made in reading, spelling, recitation, and writing. Arithmetic was generally good in the larger schools, but more attention should be given to mental arithmetic, which was decidedly weak in S6. A great improvement was noticeable in the composition of S6. The essays were greater in length, better arranged, and the punctuation satisfactory. Geography and history are being better taught, and the results of the oral examinations were generally satisfactory. Drawing varies in quality, but the blackboard drawing in coloured chalks was particularly good. Singing is receiving more attention, and in some of the larger schools good part singing was heard. Sight reading is neglected, anil very little is known of the value of time signs or their names. In the Blenheim Technical School good progress has been made in the woodwork and the cookery classes. In the cookery class more attention has been given to the making of plain, useful dishes, and lessons in theory and economical methods have not been neglected. In the primary classes paper-work, carton-work, and modelling are favourite subjects, and in some schools, where the teacher has artistic tastes, excellent brush drawing was on exhibition. Physical Instruction. —Marked progress is being made in the physical training now carried out in all our schools. The report of the physical instructors show that, in general, the work done is of a satisfactory character. The instructors, however, call attention to a few defects here and there, such as " want of attention to the fundamental position " when a class is under instruction, and the failure in some cases to use the tables so as to " ensure a gradual but steady and continuous progression in the teaching of physical exercises throughout the whole school life." Their reports, in general, confirm our report of last year, which we need not repeat. A few of the teachers have been content with giving the exercises once or twice a week, but their attention has been called to the fact that these exercises to be rendered valuable must be given daily. In the Marlborough Ward the majority of the teachers have received some instruction in the new exercises as taught by the Physical Inspectors, and the result, of the training is beginning to show itself. Children carry themselves better, and in the larger schools the exercises are of special merit. In some cases a carelessness in posture is noticed in the schoolroom. This should not be, as dual desks of the Zero type are now in all the Board schools. Organized games form part of the exercises, and in the larger centres swimming is regularly practised in the summer months.

Corrective Classes. —Corrective classes have been established by the Medical Inspector in a few schools in the Wairarapa, and in about twenty-six schools in and round the City of Wellington. In conjunction with the physical instructors special tables of exercises have been drawn, and in each school teachers have been selected to carry out these exercises for a short period twice a day. It is yet too soon to make a definite report on the result, but the Medical Inspector assures us that, although in operation only for a short time, there is already sufficient evidence to justify the establishment of such classes. District High Schools. —[See E..-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Training of Teachers. —The summer school for uncertificated teachers held at the Training College in February, 1916, was attended by twenty-nine teachers, fifteen from Wellington, six from Taranaki, five from Nelson, and three from the Grey district. Much interest was taken by these teachers in all departments of their work. The Principal in his report states, " The general attendance and diligence displayed by all was quite satisfactory." As all the schools had been closed for some time on account of the epidemic of infantile paralysis, it was considered advisable to postpone the spring school for instructions in agriculture which is usually held at some centre in the Wairarapa. Saturday classes for the instruction of pupil-teachers, probationers, and uncertificated teachers were held at Wellington and Masterton. Instruction is given in drawing, handwork, home science, hygiene, physiology, and singing. The reports of all the instructors show that the progress made by those who attended during the year was generally satisfactory. In the Marlborough Ward correspondence classes for uncertificated teachers were conducted during the year. Good progress was made, and satisfactory results achieved at the teacher's examinations. A three-weeks course was held in December, and the Instructors speak highly of the diligence of the teachers. Positions which a few years ago would have been sought after by certificated teachers are now going begging, and have to be filled by unqualified teachers. Maori Children. —[See E -3, Report on Education of Maori Children.] Buildings, Grounds, &c. —Eight of the school buildings are not owned by the Board, and in the majority of cases are either very small schools or are used as temporary buildings merely. Of those marked " Inferior," in two eases —Ohariu and Pongaroa—provision is now being made for more satisfactory accommodation. With regard to the others the Board has at various times been in communication with the Department regarding more suitable arrangements. In seven cases the buildings are marked " Moderate," but the majority of these are schools of an old type, badly arranged and badly lighted. Those cases where it is reported that the fences are in need of repair and that the offices are unsatisfactory have already received the attention of the Board, and steps are being taken by the clerk of works to put matters right. An improvement in the condition of many of the grounds is noticeable, due to the fact that more prominence is being given to the study of agriculture in the country. The senior instructor in agriculture reports, " In most cases trees and hedges have grown well and Committees have co-operated in the care of them. These trees and hedges with flower-plots have helped to make many of the school-grounds the most attractive places in the district." The same, however, cannot be said of many of the inadequate playgrounds in the city and suburbs. We have, &c, T. R. Fleming, \ F. H. Bakewell, t F. G. A. Stuckey, ' labors.

NELSON. Sir,— Nelson, 31st March, 1917. We have the honour to present our annual report on the schools of the Nelson Education District for the year 1916. One hundred and fourteen schools were at work during the last quarter of the year, the number including two half-time schools reckoned as one. There were in addition ten side schools, a new one at Oparara having been attached at Karamea. Nine very small schools were closed during the year; and. one at Woodstock, after being closed for some years, has been reopened. One hundred and thirteen schools were inspected by us, and in most cases more than once, though the time available for the first visit, usually the greater part of the first half of the year", was very much curtailed by the pressure of other work, especially that pertaining to departmental examinations. Three small outlying schools were left unvisited, but these should receive attention early in the coming year. Twelve private schools and two special schools within the education district have also been subject to inspection. The total roll of these schools, all of which are outside the jurisdiction of the Education Board, was 867, and the attendance 815. The attached summary affords an estimate of the general efficiency of the instruction imparted in them: One school, good; eight schools, satisfactory to good; three schools, satisfactory; two schools, fair to satisfactory. In all sixty-nine pupils were presented for examination iri Standard VI, and by these thirty-four proficiency and twelve competency certificates were obtained. Some slight increase is again apparent in the number of children on the rolls of the public schools of the district, the average weekly number for September quarter being 6,818, or eightyseven larger than for the corresponding quarter of last year. A glance at the average attendance, however, reveals a tale of woe, the yearly average having fallen from 896 to 86 - 5 per cent. For the whole Dominion the attendance per cent, of roll for the year 1915 was 90. The district has

XVI

E.—2.

probably suffered more this year than in any previous one from the prevalence of a variety of epidemics. Measles, scarlatina, whooping-cough, diphtheria, and infantile paralysis, the two latter having each made their appearance in two school districts, have all laid toll upon the attendance, and necessitated the temporary closing of many of the schools. In all, forty-five schools have been closed for some weeks on account of sickness, one school being so unfortunate as to be closed for a term in each of three quarters, and in others epidemics have clung to school districts for almost the whole of the year. In consequence the attendance has suffered severely (one of our larger schools making a return of only 71 per cent, for one quarter, during two weeks of which less than half the roll were present), and the school year has in. many cases been materially shortened. The quarterly attendance returns show that only eighty-two schools have been working for a full forty-weeks period throughout the year, and only thirty-seven have been kept at work for 420 half-days. This, a reasonable term of school service even after due allowance has been made for legitimate and recognized holidays, would in normal times be expected from every school. We are satisfied that many intellectual shortcomings are due to insufficient schooling, and throughout this trying year the effects have been often exemplified. In regard to regularity of attendance but few schools escaped disaster, yet some of these maintained excellent attendance. Among them were five Grade 0, mostly household schools, with 100 per cent.; Umere, 96 per cent.; Karamea, 95 per cent.; Nelson Boys', 94 per cent.; and Fairdown, Pakawau, Scddonville, and Upper Takaka, each 93 per cent. At fifteen schools, on the contrary, the attendance was below 80 per cent. —that is to say, the children on those occasions when the schools were open (fewer than usual this year) were not present four days out of five. Little change is to be noted in the status of the teaching staff. On the 31st December 204 teachers were employed by the Board, and classified as follows : — Certificated. Uncertificated. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... 39 1 40 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 64 29 93 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... 22 49 71 125 79 204 For 1915 ... ... ... ... ... 126 88 214 Among the year's appointees are two returned soldiers who after active service have resumed school duty, and have now received appointments as head teachers. In addition twenty-two pupil-teachers and eighteen probationers were in the employment of the Board. Classes of instruction for the training of teachers were held at Nelson in drawing, botany, and elementary chemistry, and at Westport in drawing and elementary hygiene. A few teachers remote from a training centre took lessons by correspondence, and six availed themselves of the opportunity kindly afforded by the Wellington Training College to attend a short summer session. The following details of classes throughout the district are supplied in the Inspectors' annual return :— Number Present at on Roll. Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 138 122 VI ... ... ... ... 483 465 V ... ... ... ... 676 644 IV ... ... ... ... 772 731 111 ... ... ... ... 818 785 II ... ... ... ... 824 781 I ... ... ... ... 832 788 Preparatory ... ... ... ... 2,338 2,121 Totals for 1916... ... ... 6,881 6,437 Totals for 1915... ... ... 6,811 6,611 Included in Standard VII are the roll numbers of the secondary classes of the district high schools, which have increased to a sum total of 120. Standard V shows an increase of eighty-three, and the preparatory a decrease of sixty-four, the proportion which the number in the preparatory class now bears to the whole roll having fallen to 339 per cent. Last year the Dominion percentage was 359, " the lowest that has obtained for some years." Variations in other class totals are less noticeable, but there is a persistent drop from class to class in going from SI to S6, indicating that nearly half the children never reach the Sixth Standard. The decreases are greatest in the higher standards, so that in many cases the period of school life terminates too abruptly, or the passing from S4 to S5, and from S5 to S6 is beyond the capacity of a large proportion of our children. Last year S4 presented the main difficulty, and this time it is SB. In spite of the increased roll number the number present at the annual examinations was much less than in 1915, probably a result of the continuance of epidemics to the close of the school year. Similar arrangements to those previously existing were made for the examination of Sixth Standard candidates for certificates. All children within easy reach were centralized at one or other of the following schools—Westport, Granity, Motueka, Richmond, - Wakefield, Reef ton, Nelson Boys', and Nelson Girls'—at which 321 pupils from the primary schools were assembled. Those who could not be easily contralized for examination under the supervision of an Inspector were examined at their own schools at the time of the announced visits, and numbered in all 140. The pupils from private schools were assembled with the others at the centres mentioned above. In addition fifty-six candidates sat for the examination, some being pupils of secondary schools, some who had left the public school, some who had during the year

[Appendix B.

applied for special examination, and others from primary schools who were represented at a central examination. The following is a summary of results : —

The percentages of certificates granted for the whole Dominion in 1915 were: Proficiency, 70 per cent.; competency, 18 per cent. The proportion gained in this district has always been somewhat low in comparison, but more nearly approximating the limit (60 per cent.) suggested by Mr. Hogben as Inspector-General and recommended for adoption by a former Inspectors' Conference. The excessive range of former years (in 1915 it varied from 52 to 80) is, we consider, largely attributable to the peculiarities of examiners in their interpretation of the requirements and standard of marking adopted. The new regulations coming into force in October increased the difficulty of obtaining either certificate, but the effect was markedly apparent only in regard to the competency certificate, the percentage of passes having fallen from 26 to 20. A junior free place at a technical school has been extended to the holder of a competency certificate, provided that his certificate is endorsed with special merit in handwork and elementary science. Only seven competency certificates were thus endorsed by us in 1916. The loss of time and irregularity of attendance consequent upon a broken school year would naturally have more effect upon the preparation of the children and the prospects of qualifying for a pass examination of fixed standard than upon other phases of school life. Hence when the special drawbacks of the year are taken into consideration it is rather a matter of surprise to find that the decrease (2 per cent.) in the number of proficiency certificates obtained is so slight. The falling-off is more apparent in the general efficiency of our public schools, a less proportion being able to attain to a satisfactory stage. A general estimate is given and a comparison made with the results of the previous year : Good, 25 schools; satisfactory to good, 29; satisfactory, 41; fair to satisfactory, 13; fair, 4: total, 112. Efficient-—For 1916, 95 schools; for 1915, 106; non-efficient, for 1916, 17; for 1915, 8. As we have before shown, the status of our teaching staff, already weakened by war conditions, has made little or no improvement during the year, and in this special time of stress occasioned by the prevalence of sickness among the children many teachers have found a difficulty in maintaining the efficiency of their schools. The summary of subjects given below shows that the loss is not peculiar to any one subject, but is very generally distributed : —

English. —Reading is usually satisfactory, and in a great many schools the teachers are making very commendable efforts to foster the reading habit in the pupils, and at the same time materially to widen their range of reading. Well-chosen books are to be seen in most of the school libraries. As regards the reading-lesson, weakness was often found in the ready comprehension of the language of the lesson and in the ability to use many of the words in well-formed sentences. Spelling remains in much the same position as last year. In the majority of schools the words occurring in the ordinary reader are usually well known. In S6 the unseen test in dictation is frequently poorly done. More practice in unseen work of this kind should enlighten the teacher as to the deficiency of his pupil's knowledge of words in common use. Recent amendments to the syllabus emphasize the necessity for such attention, and accordingly advise a recasting of methods, of teaching spelling. Some children find in spelling an insurmountable difficulty, but where the fault is common in a school it generally is the result of the teacher's incapacity or careless correction. Here again we cannot refrain from repeating that recent teachers' examinations show that in this subject also the qualifications of many candidates for the service are of very low standard. In all classes the dictation passage might well be delivered more rapidly than is usually the case, while the weekly time allotted to spelling and dictation is frequently excessive. An hour and a quarter should meet all requirements. Writing shows a somewhat poorer result than last year. The copybook writing and the formal writing exercise are usually satisfactorily done. It is in the ordinary school-work that weakness in handwriting is more

noticeable, and this rather than any formal test will in future be taken as a criterion in assessing the quality of the work. Too much attention cannot be given by the teacher to the close supervision of all written work. The weaknesses most evident are undoubtedly due to want of care by the pupil, so that the continued repetition of badly formed letters mars the legibility and general appearance of the writing. Arithmetic. —ln this subject the results of the year show a falling-off in efficiency of 5 per cent, of the schools of the district, undoubtedly largely attributable to the unfavourable workingconditions already referred to. In most of the schools w r e find the teaching of the subject carried out in a satisfactory manner. In some, however, the practical side of the subject should be more fully dealt with, so that the pupil may the more readily solve such everyday problems as present themselves to the tradesman or to the business man. Mental arithmetic was not a uniformly strongbranch of the subject, and we would once again suggest that daily practice be given in mental work that will tend to ensure speed and accuracy in dealing with written problems. In this connection we very often found S6 pupils unable to apply short methods to cases that required ordinary intelligence. Clearness of method and care in setting out the necessary details of the work should be aimed at in all classes. In the junior and preparatory divisions concrete methods are largely utilized, and the subject is generally made as interesting as possible to the younger children. With such methods regular and thorough memorization of results is most essential, or otherwise, as the pupil advances in the subject he will continually find it necessary to employ the concrete illustrations adopted in the earlier stages. Drawing. —This subject on the whole reached a satisfactory standard. Nowhere has greater improvement taken place than in the lower classes, where blackboard drawing has been very generally adopted. Instrumental drawing does not appear to receive as much attention as other branches of the subject. The selection of objects for object-drawing is occasionally made with little judgment or regard for the capacities of the pupils. The syllabus suggests appropriate selections for each division of the school. Other Subjects. —Other subjects, too, we found had suffered somewhat in fullness and thoroughness of treatment, the limited time at the teacher's disposal usually inducing him to concentrate his energies upon those only which he considered to be essential. Temperance instruction, a subject brought prominently into notice by a circular memorandum from the Minister of Education, has received very varied treatment. It has rarely been treated scientifically, but a really scientific treatment is almost impossible in an ordinary public school, and would be unintelligible to the ordinary school pupil. With the help of .temperance charts and diagrams, however, some useful temperance instruction has been given in many schools, especially in connection with health lessons, and the results have been frequently tested by us. The following have been recognized as classes for manual instruction : Elementary agriculture, 44 classes; dairy-work, 10; physiology and first aid, 11; swimming, 18; elementary physical measurements, 2; metal-work, 12; woodwork, 12; cookery, 21. The last three subjects have been usually taught by special teachers at one or other of the four centres, Nelson, Wakefield, Westport, and Reefton. Unfortunately, through the Board's inability to provide a separate teacher of cooking for the small centre, Reefton was not opened this year, and the number of classes in woodwork and cookery is reduced accordingly. In all, sixty-nine schools, or 575 per cent., have taken some form of manual instruction. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Maori Children. —[See E.-3, Report on Education of Maori Children.] School Buildings. —The condition of the school buildings varies considerably in different parts of the district. To a very great extent their state depends upon the interest displayed in the school by the local authority. In many rural districts we find much indifference and neglect of buildings on the part of Committees. The system by which repairs and painting are effected only after application by the Committee is unmethodical, and fails to keep the buildings in a sound state of repair and preservation. Throughout the district are many buildings of an old type that cannot in the present day be regarded as educationally suitable. Many of these will soon have to be rebuilt. On the West Coast, on account of the severe weather-conditions, the buildings fall more quickly into disrepair. Painting is required in many cases, and the postponement of it, for the present, on account of the increased expense is a policy that must eventually prove costly to the Board. During the past few years the seating-accommodation, has been greatly improved. The old-fashioned long desks have been discarded, and most of the schools are now equipped with modern dual desks. In many instances sweeping, dusting, and cleaning of rooms might be much better carried out. Some schools appear to be always in want of a thorough cleaning. Both from an educational and a health standpoint absolute cleanliness is an essential. Regular attention to out-offices is marked by much slackness on the part of some Committees. Difficulty in obtaining the necessary labour is one of the chief drawbacks. Where a regular sewage system exists no difficulty prevails, but to establish a satisfactory and sanitary system in most of the rural schools by the generally adopted methods requires the utmost vigilance and attention on the part of those in charge of school buildings. The latest form of outside office introduced by the Board seems likely in suitable localities to do away with many existing difficulties. This is on a modified septic-tank system, and though of too great expense for smaller localities is economical aVid effective in the larger country schools where the subsoil is of a sufficiently porous nature. Physical Instruction and Medical Inspection. —Visits of physical instructors and of Medical Inspectors were paid to the larger schools of the district. They operated partly from Canterbury as well as from Wellington, to which latter this district has for this purpose been attached. The three main centres and larger schools in the neighbourhood were also visited by the medical officer and instructor conjointly for the purpose of establishing physical corrective classes. Children whose physical defects were such as to warrant special treatment were selected by the doctor, and a course of physical exercises adapted to their special needs was prescribed for them, and the

teachers were instructed in the mode of application. The arrangements made for the medical and physical inspection of the district are gradually becoming more systematic, and we hope to see the advantages of the system extended to every school. Though our experience of this important branch of instruction lias been but brief, we cannot refrain from extolling the advantages conferred on the rising generation by the inauguration of such a system.

CANTERBURY. Sir,— Christchurch, 16th March, 1917. We have the honour to present our annual report on the schools of the Canterbury Education District, formed during the year by the amalgamation of the former districts of Grey, Westland, North and South Canterbury. The new district embraces a very large area, and will entail upon the Board and its officers the solution of many problems of management. Upon the efforts of those administering educational affairs will depend the success or failure of the experiment which is being made. Theoretically there should be no question on the score of cost of administration, for one central Board should be able to work far more economically than four Boards working within the same boundaries. So far as the teachers are concerned, there is no doubt that amalgamation will give a brighter outlook; promotion will be more certain, and it is the hope of promotion that furnishes one of the greatest incentives to good work. The cause of education in the smaller districts must be materially benefited, for the closer relationship with large centres should conduce to a wider range of vision, and give room for a higher standard of achievement. We have every reason to anticipate that the efforts of those engaged in the cause of education in the enlarged district will meet with even greater success than has been achieved in its several parts in the past. Visits paid. —The number of schools open, at the close of the year was 385. To each of these, with very few exceptions, two visits were paid. Similar visits were also paid to forty-one private schools. In addition to the ordinary work of inspection, examinations for the purpose of awarding certificates of proficiency were held at a great many centres during the year, the method of procedure being that, as far as possible, candidates should be examined in their own schools. Where this was impracticable examinations were conducted in convenient centres at which pupils of neighbouring schools assembled. In the case of schools in outlying districts, proficiency candidates were taken at the time of the annual visit to the school. All examinations were personally supervised by one or other of the Inspectors. The following is a summary of the results of examinations for Standard VI certificates : — Number Proficiency Competency examined. Certificates. Certificates. Public schools ... ... ... ... 2,236 1,377 419 Private schools ... ... ... ... 225 131 42 Special examinations ... ... ... 203 99 65 Government. —The children, on the whole, are quiet, orderly, obedient, and well-mannered, and the general atmosphere in our schools furnishes abundant evidence that, with few exceptions, our pupils are wisely governed. The majority of our teachers are sincere and consistent, unreservedly giving of their best to those under their charge, between whom and the teachers good relations almost invariably prevail. When present conditions with respect to the tone of our schools are compared with those which existed some thirty years ago there is a striking evidence of moral development. Honesty in school w r ork, politeness, respectful demeanour, and consideration for the feelings of others stand on a much higher plane than formerly. We have again to congratulate the teachers upon tin: very fine work done by their pupils in connection with the Red Cross and other organizations. and Grounds. —The interiors of a great many of the schools are bright and cheerful, with material and apparatus under careful supervision. Still, however, there are teachers who see nothing wrong in untidy cupboards, badly hung maps, and neglected material. The room and grounds are mainly the direct expression of the personality of the teacher, and if those responsible show good taste, and by the force of example inculcate desirable habits, the general surroundings soon present an improved appearance. The excellence of the gardens attached to some of the schools is a just cause for pride, and we cannot too highly praise those teachers who have made their playgrounds the beauty-spots of their immediate neighbourhood. There is still room for improvement as regards some of the rooms in which the junior divisions are receiving instruction. To spend an hour or two in a well-equipped room is a delightful experience. The brighter the atmosphere for the little ones, the easier is the educational training. Indirectly, too, this may be an important means of securing regular attendance. The condition of' the buildings, with the exception of those in one or two parts of the district, is mainly satisfactory. There are some, however, which have outlived the natural term of their existence, 'and it will be incumbent upon the Board in the near future to replace these ancient structures by new buildings of modern design. It will also be necessary to divide some of the existing rooms so as to obtain more comfortable teaching-conditions. Where graded floors still exist level floors should be substituted, in order to give opportunity for rearrangement of desks, and thus secure improved lighting-conditions where these are defective. District High Schools.—[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Medical Inspection.-—The most important fact in connection with medical inspection has been the starting of corrective classes. These have been carried out during the year, and the results are most satisfactory, even exceeding expectations. The Medical Inspector has discharged

E.—2.

Appendix B.j

XXI

her duties in her usual energetic and enthusiastic manner, and has succeeded in getting through a vast amount of work. She will be able to make her inspection even more effective when she avails herself of the services of the school nurse, whose appointment it is hoped will form a new link between the school and the home. Physical Instruction. —ln nearly every school in the district the value of physical training is becoming increasingly evident. Few of the periods of the school day are enjoyed more than the time set apart for the practice of the exercises and the allied games. In many of the schools a very high level of efficiency is reached. But we should like to point out that the principles of correct position so strongly insisted upon during the exercise periods should govern every attitude that the pupil assumes in school. Harmful positions in the desk will undo all the good derived during the exercises. We have been very much pleased with the whole-hearted manner in which the teachers have carried out their part of the work. The physical instructors have discharged their duties in a most faithful manner, and by their tact and enthusiasm have secured the hearty co-operation of all. Quality of Instruction. —As we shall be meeting the teachers from time to time, and dealing in detail with the various subjects of the curriculum, we do not propose to refer to the quality of instruction, except very briefly and in general terms. Reading. —Though usually fluent, in only a moderate number of our schools does the subject reach a high standard of quality. Too many of our teachers are satisfied if their pupils give a fair rendering of a passage; but more than that is necessary. The child after reading a paragraph should so get the thought that it can reproduce the substance of it. In some schools little effort is made to correct errors in enunciation. Greater attention should be paid to the use of the vocal organs, and every teacher should endeavour to acquire special knowledge of the qualities of good articulation. The cultivation of light and shade, with a bolder style, should be the aim in all schools, but this can be secured only by a regular process of development begun in the preparatory division and continued in the standard classes, where at all stages the interpretation of thought should be the guiding principle. Recitation. —This subject has not made much material progress during the year, and too often the results give the impression of hurried preparation, for although the pupils may be able to repeat the requisite number of lines, they have often little knowledge of the aim and scope of the poem. The selection of passages, too, is in many instances conditioned by the ease with which they can be memorized rather than by their intrinsic merit. Recitation is a subject which needs careful teaching, and cannot be left to look after itself. The necessity of frequent revision cannot be too strongly emphasized, for such poems should be a life-long possession and treasure. Formal English and Composition. —ln these subjects a slight, improvement is shown in formal English, but while this is the case there are still many schools in which the knowledge acquired in the grammar lesson has not been made use of to help out the sentence structure in composition —a fatal divorce between two subjects so intimately connected. The formal English that is taught is not serving its purpose unless the pupils have been placed in such a position as they can apply its rules to, and show its practical bearing on, their written exercises. Although composition as a whole is good, there is still room for a better gradation of the subject. The oral work in P classes is generally most satisfactory, and the majority of pupils express themselves clearly. In SI and S2 written exercises are presented, and the quality is distinctly on the upgrade. S3, S4, and S5, however, do not maintain this advantage, and it is to the grading of the work of these classes that attention must be principally directed. But in S6 the work is again good, and the essays presented at the proficiency examinations are very creditable productions, showing pleasing style, very fair imagination, and considerable originality. In too many schools punctuation was disappointing. Spelling. —Spelling is usually satisfactory, but we should like to impress upon teachers that greater attention should be paid to the spelling of common words, for it is of far more importance that the pupils should be able to spell correctly words of everyday use than that they should learn the spelling of difficult words that do not form part of their vocabulary. The close adherence to the words furnished by the reading-book cannot be recommended, as it does not always furnish a good basis for the effective teaching of spelling. If teachers made out a graded list for their classes, and taught and tested such words in dictation exercises where the words were used in correct relation to the context, the results would be much more satisfactory than at present. Constant practice in clear articulation and enunciation would prevent many of the errors made by our pupils through careless habits of speech. Arithmetic. —ln the preparatory classes and the junior division this subject is usually very well treated. Most of our teachers have made their exercises practical, and have built up the tables necessary in multiplication and addition. In the senior division, however, there is less accuracy and less grasp of principle. This is in a large measure due to lack of suitable mental exercises in illustration of new principles and of systematic recapitulation of the rules dealt with. It is surprising to find in how many cases failure to gain certificates in S6 or S5, failure to qualify in National Scholarship examinations, and inability to satisfy the demands for the teacher's certificate, are due to weakness in arithmetic. This weakness seems to be largely due to defective teaching. Sameness in the style of questions, too narrow a range of mental exercises, lack of training in the mental concentration necessary for the solution of problems, and want of accuracy are contributing causes. It behoves all concerned to endeavour to use the best methods in dealing with this important subject. As Burnett says in his " Essentials of Teaching," " He [a certain type of teacher] is too easily pleased with approximate results or half-finished work. Thoroughness, we like to think, is a virtue specially British, owing to which, as much as to anything else, we have built up our respect for industrial and commercial efficiency." And it is thoroughness that makes for success in the teaching of arithmetic. Geography. —There is perhaps no subject in the curriculum which shows so wide a range of values. While in very many schools the programme is so arranged as to make possible the

iv—E. 2 (App. b/>

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

interrelation of physical and economic geography, flu-re are still many schools in which the two forms are taught as if the one had no bearing on the other. The chief source of weakness in the teaching of the subject is that there has been too much adherence to text-book information, and too little inquiry into the reasons why certain conditions, physical or political, exist, and how they affect "man and his markets." There is still room for better preparation of lessons; for more readiness in devising simple and easy experiments to illustrate the facts of physical and mathematical geography; and for quick and ready use of diagrams and sketch-maps in all forms of geographical teaching. Ideas and facts may be gained from the text-books, but graphic illustration and experiment should characterize the teaching. Such conditions do exist, in a large number of our schools, and in these the teaching of geography is not only interesting but highly effective. History and Civics. —The work is still unsatisfactory in a large number of schools. Schemes often show no general plan, while in many cases reliance is placed entirely upon a succession of isolated lessons with no connected lines of thought. Too often there is no definite aim, and consequently the results are disappointing. Civics should be taught in connection with the history, and the scheme as drawn up should show how this is to be carried out. A considerable amount of teaching energy might be conserved if the pupils had a suitable text-book, which after the lesson had been given could be used for memorizing facts and recapitulation of subject-matter. History subjects as themes for composition might be used much more extensively. Handwork. —In view of the growing importance attached to handwork, interest in the subject is gradually increasing. Although nearly all the schools in the district have made an attempt to teach some form of handwork, the results in a great many cases are disappointing. This seems to be largely due to lack of continuity; for subjects are often taken up in one class and dropped in the next. In all schools plasticine and paper-folding should be taken in the junior classes as forming the best media for developing sense of form and colour, whilst in the larger schools other branches might be added. In S3 aud S4 cardboard and carton work should be taken as a fitting introduction to more advanced cardboard-work and woodwork. In the upper classes cookery, woodwork, dressmaking, advanced "needlework, swimming and life-saving have been taken up; but interest centres principally round the woodwork and domestic-science classes. Although a fairly satisfactory number of schools have been reached, there are still a great many country children who have no opportunity of attending such classes. To meet successfully the demand additional cookery and woodwork centres are necessary. In all districts where baths are available instruction is given in swimming and life-saving, and every credit is due to those teachers who have devoted po much time and trouble to the work. Agriculture. —In some parts of the district agriculture has been taken up with enthusiasm, and the instructors have every reason to be satisfied with the success which has attended their efforts. There are, however, too many teachers who are carrying on the subject in a half-hearted manner. This is to be regretted, as there is no subject that has greater possibilities. In country districts the work of the school should bear a direct relationship to the life of the community, and hence the teaching of agriculture ought to be regarded not as a " fad " but as a necessity. The instructors are energetic and enthusiastic, and we hope that they will receive every support from the teachers so that agriculture may "come into its own" as an essential subject in our rural school courses. Nature-study. —In the better types of schools nature-study is a very pleasing subject. It is training the children to observe correctly, fostering.' a love of nature, and strengthening the reasoning-powers. Round this lesson should revolve much of the work of the lower classes* and by careful correlation and co-ordination its great possibilities made use of. All programmes presented for the standard classes should exhibit a connective and logically conceived course of study. Scraps of lessons or mere details of information have little educational value. Lessons that are too formal and technical fail to interest. For success the teacher must arouse the child's sympathetic interest in .the plant and animal life of his surroundings, and in his environment generally. Teachers. —We again wish to bear testimony to the efficient and loyal service rendered by the teachers of the district. We would especially wish to pay a well-deserved tribute to those who have faithfully discharged their duties in remote and isolated localities. Their responsibility is great, and too often they receive little assistance and encouragement, yet in spite of all difficulties they arc conscientiously doing their duty by the backblocks child, and we trust that their spirit of self-sacrifice will meet with a fitting reward when claims for promotion are under consideration. Our teachers as a body have "high ideals and standards by which they regulate their professional conduct," and most of them " can inspire their pupils with proper ideals of life and conduct." It would be a pity if it were otherwise, for these surely are "the responsibilities for which a teacher must give account to the State." As Bagley puts it, " Every teacher who comes in contact with the plastic material that we designate as childhood and youth can add a touch to that creative process—can influence definitely, tangibly, unerringly, the type of manhood and womanhood that is to dominate the succeeding generation." Board's Staff. —In bringing our report to a close we wish to thank the Board and its officials for the unvarying courtesy shown to us during the year. We have, etc.. Wm. Brock, \ Jas.

OTAGO. Sir,— Dunedin, 14th March, 1917. We have the honour to submit herewith our annual report on the work of the schools in this district for the year 1916. The following table gives a summary of inspection results for the public schools : — Number Present at Annua! on Roll. Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 249 237 VI ... ... ... ... 1,428 1,372 V ... ... ... ... 2,135 2,093 IV ... ... ... ... 2,436 2,405 111 ... 2,731 2,683 II 2,757 2,710 I ... ... ... ... 3,131 3,058 Preparatory ... ... ... ... 7,374 7,040 Totals ... ... ... 22,241 21,598 During the year 261 schools were in operation. Of these, two were half-time schools, seven were household schools, and one was the small school at the Pleasant Valley Sanatorium, in which the hours and courses of study have to be suitably modified to meet the physical condition of the pupils. With the exception of five household schools and one full-time school, which was temporarily closed towards the end of (he year, all the schools were inspected, and in nearly all cases two visits were paid. In addition to visiting the public schools, the Inspectors visited and reported on seventeen private schools. In the first visits to some of these schools Mr. Gill was associated with one of the local Inspectors. The omission of the second visits to some of these and to some of the public schools was due to the dislocation of inspection-work caused by the enlistment of Mr. Robertson in May, and to the temporary withdrawal of Dr. Don for the inspection of secondary schools. Throughout the district the school buildings are well cared for, and in only eight cases have the reports on buildings been lower than satisfactory. Fences are, on the whole, kept in satisfactory condition, while the work of planting trees, shelter-belts, and ornamental shrubs has been extended, in most cases with material supplied from the Training College nursery plot. In several instances the attention of the Board has been directed to the prevalence of noxious weeds in teachers' glebes, and teachers will do well to note that the Inspectors are requested to furnish special reports on this matter after each visit. In all the larger and in many of the smaller- schools the condition of the playgrounds reflects great credit on the interest shown by Committees in the maintenance of comfortable surroundings for the pupils, but there are still a few districts in which the apathy of Committees and parents is very marked. Last year we referred to the pressure on the accommodation in some of the schools in the city area, and this year the position has become acute at Maori Hill, where the pupils of the infant department are housed in the Municipal Hall, a building quite unsuitable for the purpose; and at Macandrew Road, where the Sixth Standard pupils are working under conditions that are very uncomfortable, not to say unhygienic. In several of the rural schools provision has been made for the accommodation of the junior classes by converting play-sheds into temporary class-rooms —an expedient that is not at all satisfactory, owing to difficulties connected with lighting and ventilation. On the whole, the interiors of the schools are tidily kept, and the furniture is generally well cared for. Uncertificated Teachers. —At the end of the year the number of uncertificated teachers employed in this district was considerably higher than at the corresponding period in 1915. The scarcity of suitable qualified applicants for vacancies, particularly in the rural areas, became acute about the month of June l —a fact that seems to point to the necessity for increasing the output from the training colleges, either by increasing the enrolment there or by allowing students, after a year's training, to take a position for a year or two, and then complete the training-college course. Owing to the reduction of the grant for training teachers, the classes for assisting uncertificated teachers were materially curtailed. Courses of instruction in first aid, agricultural botany and chemistry, and elementary hygiene were held in Dunedin ; while during the earlj' part of the year Mr. D. W. M. Burn kept in touch by correspondence with some of his students of 1915, and towards the end of the year met them at Owaka for personal tuition. The students at the city classes showed keen interest in their work, and Mr. Burn's students are deeply grateful to him for his earnest efforts to help them to improve their educational status. Medical Inspection. —Prior to her transfer to Wellington Dr. A. G. Paterson visited the Training College and some of the schools of Grade IV and upwards, in several of which special attention was given to the selection of pupils for corrective work. In addition, the Medical Inspector met parents at several of the schools and delivered addresses on matters pertaining to the welfare of children. These meetings were well attended, and are indicative of an increasing parental interest in the work of medical inspection. During the latter part of the year the work of medical inspection was continued by Dr. McOahon. Physical Instruction. —As in the case of medical inspection, the visits of the physical instructors have been confined to schools of Grade IV and upwards, to the Training College, and to the corrective classes at the large schools in Dunedin and Oamaru —in all, about forty schools. Their reports show that the work done in these schools has been generally satisfactory. In schools below Grade IV the work in physical instruction was reported on by Inspectors at their annual visits.

V —E. 2 (App. B.)

[Appendix B.

E.—2.

In these schools the quality of the instruction varies considerably, owing to the fact that in this group are to be found nearly all the untrained teachers —the very class that, should receive the help and direction of the Department's experts. The enthusiasm shown immediately after the training courses of 1915 has waned in many cases, while in others the pupils have been kept at work on a few tables until the work has become formal and uninteresting. Though the exercises are usually well done, with such attention to detail as will entail conscious exercise of the muscles, many teachers do not appear to attach the importance to the effects toat they do to the physical and hygienic. This is evidenced by the seriousness and perfunctoriness that frequently characterize the organized games, and suggests that some teachers an inadequate conception of the scope of games in educational curricula. If teachers fully realized the value of games in developing a well-balanced character, in securing prompt response to the call of duty, in producing true manliness, in arousing a just ambition to excel in every phase of the battle of life, they would throw much more personal enthusiasm into this branch of school-work than many of them do now. Change of work and change of play are equally important, and teachers should be alert to prevent the games from becoming monotonous, by giving sufficient attention to natural tastes and aversions. This is particularly necessary in the case of girls, for the physiological cost at which their mental powers are developed will produce injury if physical instruction be not so regulated that muscular exercise will be associated with such games and recreations as cheer and elate the participants. It is with regret that we have to report the discontinuance of systematic training of pupil-teachers and probationers in physical instruction. The practical effects of this will be felt in all the large schools during the incoming year, for in such schools will be found from four to eight young teachers unable to render efficient help in the work of physical instruction, and that at a time when the demands of the corrective classes make ft imperative that the teaching-power be increased. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual Instruction. —lmbued with a notion that a primary-school system should concern itself only with the literary and mathematical side of education, for some years many of our teachers evinced a want of appreciation of the aims and educative values of manual instruction, with the result that the manipulative exercises were regarded as additional subjects, and their inclusion was justified on the grounds that they were only counter-irritants to bookwork; but as the result of different leavens a fermentation of ideas set in, and manual work is now treated not as a new subject, but as a new method of applying the principles of Pestalozzi, which have for their objective the promotion of the child's development, morally, physically, and intellectually. Not infrequently have we found that pupils who appeared abnormally dull and irresponsive in the literary work have been wonderfully stimulated in self-expression through the exercise of the motor activities; while with all, in the hands of thoughtful teachers, such work generates the habit, of self-reliance, keeps the interest and the attention cheerfully engaged, and reduces the disciplinary function to a minimum. From the point of view of the practical educationist the manual dexterity is developed at the age at which it should be developed if it is to reach the pitch needed in maturer years. Where the subjects of manual instruction are judiciously co-ordi-nated with the other subjects of study, and the schemes of work are carefully graded, we find the results most satisfactory; but in those few cases where the subjects are isolated, and the schemes lacking in continuity or constructiveness, a powerful educational factor is rendered inoperative and its efficiency impaired through careless treatment or want of appreciation of the aims and scope of manual instruction. Handwork is taken in all schools, the branches for the junior classes being in the main paper-work, colour work, and basket-work, and we record with satisfaction a more extensive use of plasticine. In the middle classes the favourite branches are colour work and carton-modelling. In the former branch we note a growing interest in the application of colour work in the drawing of natural objects, while in the latter there is still a lack of close co-ordination with measurement and number work. In the senior classes, brushwork, woodwork, and cookery have been continued at the manualtraining centres, while in the majority of the rural schools the-pupils continue the elementary agriculture in connection with garden plots. In this subject, much more might be done in regard to the principles underlying the subject, and in future we shall insist on this phase of the work receiving more attention than, it has hitherto received. During the year the swimming classes at the Oamaru and Dunedin municipal baths were conducted with highly satisfactory results. Maori Children. —[See E.-3, Report on Education of Maori Children.] Efficiency of the Schools. —With regard to efficiency, the schools may be grouped as follows : Excellent or very good, 20 per cent.; good, 46 per cent.; satisfactory, 24 per cent.; fair to inferior, 10 per cent. This shows a fall of 4 per cent, in the best group, an increase of 6 per cent, in the "good" group, and a fall of 2 per cent, in the two lowest groups. When it is considered that nearly 20 per cent, of the teachers are untrained and uncertificated, the efficiency of the schools as a whole may be regarded as very satisfactory. The order, discipline, and tone of the schools are being maintained at a very high level. Proficiency Examinations. —As in previous years, we have as far as possible continued the practice of examining pupils at their own schools at the dates of our announced visits, and have resorted to the centralizing examination only to a very limited extent. For the certificate of proficiency 1,658 pupils presented themselves from the public schools. Of these, 1,258, or 75 per cent., secured the certificate of proficiency, and 155, or 9 per cent., gained the certificate of competency. None of these certificates were endorsed. From private schools 133 candidates presented themselves for examination. Of these, 93, or 70 per cent., were awarded the certificate of proficiency, and 19, or 14 per cent., the certificate of competency. So far as the public schools are concerned, the percentage of candidates winning the certificate is about 4 per cent, lower than that of the previous year. In our opinion this is not to be traced to the effect of the regulations issued in October last.

Notes on Subjects: Reading. —At no period were our pupils so well provided with books as at present, the free competition among firms producing works of excellent quality at reasonable prices, and the Government making liberal provision for those unable to bear the cost of private purchase, so that every facility is offered to our youth for becoming acquainted with good literature. As the importance of implanting a taste for such during adolescence cannot be overestimated, we regret to note that the successful efforts made by many School Committees in starting school libraries have not been continued. We are of opinion that the present prosperity should leave some permanent mark on educational institutions, and we hope that our teachers will remind the Committees of the liberal subsidies offered by the Board for establishing and extending school libraries. We regard the existence and use of an up-to-date school library as material evidence of the teacher's influence on his environment. The continuous reader is appropriately used to introduce the pupils to the works of standard authors, the work being directed to gathering up the thought-content and expressing it in the reader's own words. This affords a ready opportunity for oral composition—a subject that still requires greater attention on the part of our teachers, many of whom are satisfied with the matter, and pay little regard to the manner of the expression. At times we have found classes at silent reading, but the want of objective deprived the exercise of much of its value; and a similar remark applies to much of the so-called " preparation of reading." We have endeavoured to impress upon teachers the necessity for familiarizing their pupils with the objects of the different reading exercises, and so securing a definiteness of aim. At the risk of repetition, we cannot too forcibly impress upon teachers the necessity for watchfulness and good example in reference to oral expression; for all through life the art of speaking with persuasive distinctness is highly esteemed, and is productive not only of pleasure but of profit. The miscellaneous reader is well used as a medium by which the literary vocabulary is enlarged and logical analysis may be practised. Primarily it is used for reading aloud prepared selections, but some teachers have not considered that the art of reading can be acquired only through well-directed practice based upon a good model. As a consequence, the expressiveness of the reading is frequently impaired through careless articulation and want of inflection. We have insisted upon definiteness of aim in the readinglesson, and would remind teachers again that one of the most important aims in this branch is to train pupils to use readily books of reference. It is surprising how seldom pupils know how to use a dictionary, or the purpose of the list of contents of even their class-books. On the whole we find that the dissemination of this literature is enlarging the views of the pupils, increasing their general knowledge, and improving both their written and oral expression. Writing. —With the commendable purpose of securing rapidity some teachers have been experimenting and adopting methods that require increased muscular flexibility in arm or wrist. It is rather early to generalize, but, so far as our observations extend, the results are certainly satisfactory in the higher classes, though the correctness of form that was consciously aimed at, and that generally characterized the work done by the methods previously adopted, is not secured in the lower classes. Authorities are agreed that the condition requisite for effective and fluent writing is that the pen be held so lightly that muscular action is not restricted. If this be insisted on in the lower classes, the chief impediment to rapidity in the upper classes will be removed; and though precise conformity to a standard pattern may not result, correct and effective writing will be produced, and scope allowed for the individuality of the pupil. In the two highest classes we are of opinion that only those copybooks that give pattern business forms should be in use, so that pupils will apply their energies to some practical purpose. This will add interest to the lesson, and incidentally give the pupils much useful knowledge. Geography. —ln a number of country schools this subject showed signs of unskilful treatment. The real educative character of the instruction was neglected. In the junior division greater use should be made of field excursion and outdoor presentation, in order that the child may be able as far as possible to supply from observation the data to be used by constructive imagination in reproducing more remote environments. The mere acquisition of a fact by the child can scarcely be called knowledge. The more important step is so to work upon the fact that by experience and association it, develops into actual knowledge. In the senior division the treatment of physical and mathematical geography must be objective if tangible results are to be obtained, for the knowledge a child gets by discovery is worth far more than that which is obtained by word of mouth. An attempt should be made to trace the interdependence of commercial or economic geography and physical geography. History. —This subject is still regarded as a dry record of the past by some teachers, who seem to think that for its successful presentation only a text-book and a blackboard are needed. But, school must educate for life. Motives must be inferred from actions, and character from deeds, and it is to this class of mental operations that the history lesson introduces our pupils. The purpose of the history lesson is not to amass information, but to use information in constructing a vivid picture of how and why men did this and that, achieved their successes and met with their failures. Habits of observation, inference, and judgment can thus be formed if the history lesson is properly conducted. Arithmetic. —ln general, arithmetic has been well taught. There are still some teachers who fail to recognize that the real secret of success in acquiring accuracy and speed is constant practice in oral work, which should form the basis for more advanced problems. The oral work should be of such a character as will give the pupils ability to apply number to everyday problems, and practical exercises in counting, measuring, weighing, and in giving change should be performed by the children themselves. The condition of mental arithmetic in the schools is not satisfactory, and this we attribute to two causes : first, insufficient viva voce work; and, secondly, the fact that mental calculations are not insisted on in all mechanical operations in arithmetic. Drawing. —We are not at all satisfied with the condition of this subject in our schools. Like handwork, it is too often treated as an isolated subject, and the schemes, if any, are frequently

not graded. It is not, common to find drawing used as a means to aid and extend expression in sucli subjects as geography, nature-study, and composition; and until it is so used, and used freely, the treatment of the subject cannot be considered satisfactory. The fault lies largely with the teachers themselves, for they seldom give indications that they are able to use chalk or crayon for illustration and explanation. No matter how crude a drawing may be from an artist's point of view, it is often invaluable from a teacher's standpoint, and it encourages the pupil to follow the teacher's lead. In the treatment of design considerable advance has been made, but there is room for improvement in both accuracy and neatness in the geometrical drawing of S3 and S4. Composition. —ln composition the quality of the written work in the senior classes does not show material improvement, nor does it reveal so great an advance on the work of S2 and S3 as it is reasonable to expect. Better sequence of matter, improved arrangement, greater variety of expression, richer vocabulary, and more originality must be aimed at by the teachers of the senior classes before the composition of their pupils can be graded as good. In the preparatory and junior divisions the oral composition is generally of very satisfactory quality, but there is a marked falling-off in this branch in the senior classes. Formal grammar is being well kept up, and we note a slight improvement in the punctuation of essays. Morals and Health. —These branches of instruction are receiving suitable direct treatment, and full advantage is taken of incidental opportunities for inculcating good habits of life and conduct. The Minister's desire that duo attention should be given to instruction in temperance is being fulfilled. In this topic we note that teachers treat the subject from three points of view— viz., the physiological, the economic, and the moral. We suggest that teachers should deal with at least one of these phases in each school term, instead of crowding the whole of the instruction into the last term, as is now too frequently the case. Patriotic Efforts. —Good practical work continues to be done in our schools. The statements sent in by 246 schools showed that during the year a large sum had been raised by the schools for patriotic purposes; 2,376 boys and 5,801 girls were engaged in knitting, while 71,035 useful articles had been made for our soldiers. Singing.—We arc pleased to find earnest attempts made in connection with 'voice and ear training. The war has exercised an influence in the choice of songs, and there are but few schools in which this subject does not receive as much attention as the circumstances admit; but there arc still some teachers who underestimate the recreative effect of incidental singing, and who restrict the vocal efforts of their pupils to the time set down in the time-table, the old notion that " time does not permit " manifesting great tenacity of life. Nature-study. —This subject is now viewed in proper relationship to the rest of the schoolwork, and with due regard to its purpose as an educative medium. As a result we have systematic training in observation, with intelligent interest aroused in the pupils' environment, and, though much useful knowledge is acquired, the subject itself is rightly treated as the stepping-stone to science. Though in this report we have referred to some of the defects, we consider that educative methods have been generally adopted, and that the exemplary character of our teachers is exercising a fine influence on the minds and the conduct of their pupils.

Teachers. —In the quality of young persons offering themselves for employment as pupilteachers and probationers at the beginning of the year 1916 there was a very perceptible improvement, while the numerical disparity in the sex of those appointed was much less than before. Our experience leads us more and more to esteem physique and personality as against mere scholarship. For anaemic, diffident, painfully self-conscious candidates, for book-worms and educational trophy-hunters pure and simple, there is no room in the teaching profession. Our teachers must have both physical and mental vigor, plenty of initiative, and abundant readiness and enthusiasm for the strenuous life they have chosen. It cannot be denied that the increasing frequency of changes in the teaching staff is having a decidedly adverse effect on the quality of the instruction and on general educational progress in this district. Moreover, the cumulative effect of inefficient instruction by untrained, partially qualified teachers, a class that has for years filled a large percentage of the positions in the Board's service, is beginning to leave its mark on primary education. The number of uncertificated teachers in the service shows no prospect of diminution, and the gravity of the situation has been accentuated by the withdrawal of some of our most promising male teachers who have gone to the war. While a fair proportion of " war-time appointments" will doubtless turn out satisfactorily in the end, full efficiency in these cases will not be attained lor some years, and in estimating the ultimate effect on the education system of such appointments allowance must be made for the inevitable failure of a very considerable proportion to " make good." Proficiency Examinations. —The proficiency examinations were held at twenty-seven centres (four less than last year) during the months of November and December, and at seventy-seven schools in remote districts (including Lakes District) on the occasion of the Inspector's visit during September, October, or November. Thus the pupils of 104 schools were examined for proficiency certificates at their own schools, and proficiency candidates from the remaining seventy-seven schools were required to travel to the nearest centre to be examined. The followingtable shows the results in the public schools compared with those of 1915 : —

The increased percentage of absolute failures may in part be reasonably attributed to the higher percentage of marks now required for a competency certificate and to exceptional circumstances that affected some of the larger schools, while the lower percentage of proficiency certificates gained may be attributed to the circumstances mentioned in the preceding paragraph. Organization. —The practice of making tentative promotion of pupils on the understanding that such promotion is to be reviewed, and if necessary reversed, at the end of the first term has grown to the dimensions of an evil. In most cases of that kind it is safe to anticipate that the promotion will not prove justifiable at the end of the term; the teacher will nevertheless be strongly tempted to avoid friction by retaining the pupil concerned in a class for which he is not, fit. Another somewhat common instance of weakness in classification is the practice of granting promotion in English whilst withholding it in arithmetic. Although the dual classification of a pupil is permitted by the regulations, its frequent adoption is deprecated as tending to undue complexity. Dual classification should be adopted only as an exceptional and temporary expedient: the earliest opportunity should be taken of unifying the classification of the exceptional pupil. After all, the very general adoption of the expedient of grouping classes for instruction in English should make it unnecessary to classify the average pupil differently in different subjects. In general it may be said that no good end is served by classifying a pupil in a higher standard in English than in arithmetic, unless there is a probability that such pupil's standard of attainment in arithmetic will within the year be brought level with his standard of attainment in English. We" are convinced that a considerable number of the brighter pupils in the preparatory classes might be advanced to SI more rapidly than is done. The average age of the pupils entering SI in 1917 is seven years and ten months. While the average for the district is not unsatisfactory, the average for some schools is too high. The attention of teachers is directed to the following passage in the regulations: "In the preparatory division, especially where it contains three or more classes, it will generally be necessary to make promotions of pupils at other times besides the beginning of the year." It is in the preparatory division that a pupil falls into the class group that will in the ordinary course of events accompany him throughout his school life; and in the interests of the brighter pupils, if any individual in that division is found to be distinctly superior in ability to the group in which he is placed when enrolled he should be promptly promoted to the next higher group. Registers and Records. —Very few cases have been reported of neglect in regard to the marking and the entering-up of registers. In a good many schools, however, this necessary work might be made less onerous if it were made more systematic. The entries in the daily, weekly. and admission registei s should be brought up to date once a week —say, as the last duty to be performed on Friday —and head teachers should distribute the work amongst their assistants. A good many irregularities were found in the examination registers; the scale of marks for the different subjects was more frequently at variance with than in accordance with the regulations;

[Appendix B.

the date of the teacher's annual examination was sometimes omitted, and even the year in some rases was not specified, while, worst of all, in some instances the new classification for the following year was omitted. As this register is now the only school record of the progress of individual pupils, it ought to be correct in form and complete in detail. Time-tables. —The time-tables as a whole show a just apportionment of the available time among the various subjects of instruction, and a fair recognition of the principles on which a time-table ought to be constructed. It has been necessary, however, especially in sole-teacher schools, to recommend shorter periods and a more varied daily programme for the preparatory classes. Inexperienced teachers find it extremely difficult to break off in the middle of a lesson in the upper classes to scan the work of the juniors, bestowing praise or blame and suggesting improvements, and to resume the interrupted lesson without serious loss of time. Only the most careful preparation of the plan of work for the day will enable teachers to acquire facility in the art, of keeping several classes constantly employed at useful and interesting work. Schemes of Work. —A model scheme of work prepared in this office has been supplied to uncertificated teachers in sole charge of a school. While some of these teachers simply copied the scheme as it stood, a fair proportion expanded the notes more or less fully and used the scheme intelligently. Altogether the experiment has been a distinct success up to a certain stage. It will be necessary, however, to remodel the scheme in the light of experience. Teachers who have passed through the Training College are exercising a beneficial influence by lending schemes to inexperienced teachers. While the methods employed in the best of our schools are undoubtedly good, there are a good many schools where the teaching is on mechanical lines. Our young teachers, and a good many of our older teachers too, need to be reminded that leaching is not "setting" and "hearing" lessons; that preparation for teaching is most essential, and that if concrete illustration is not available much may be done with a blackboard and a supply of chalk. English. —lf the sole aim of teaching reading were to afford means of self-improvement and solitary recreation in after-life, it might safely be said that reading is being satisfactorily taught in our schools. If, however, pwpils are to read for the benefit of others, much fuller tone, clearer articulation, and more sympathetic interpretation are necessary than obtain at present in most of our schools. In only comparatively few eases ran one listen with understanding and pleasure to the reading of even the senior pupils in a school. If this state of affairs is to be remedied, tone, articulation, and inflection must have careful and systematic attention paid to them from the outset. It is useless to expect that essential qualities such as those named can be acquired in the closing years of school life. In. the best of our schools, where the reading is of striking merit, that result is obtained only by sustained effort, kept up in all the classes. As regards recitation, we fear that in some cases ease of memorizing, rather than intrinsic excellence and suitability, has been the determining factor in the choice 1 of pieces. In the majority of cases the meaning of the more difficult phrases and the content of the individual stanzas are well known; on the other hand, the total value of the poem is often poorly appreciated. As compared with the previous year, while writing, especially rapid writing in the upper standards, shows a little improvement, and spelling is perhaps a little weaker, there is not sufficient variation in these subjects to call for special comment. Both oral and written composition are frequently of outstanding merit in the lower classes. In S4 and S5 the quality does not improve as much as might reasonably be expected. In S6 the written composition is usually fluent and comparatively free from grammatical errors, but occasionally disjointed in structure. A more careful choice of subjects should be made; a fairly frequent error is wandering away from the subject, if this is at all unhackneyed, and introducing irrelevant matter from previously approved efforts. Exercises in oral composition should be better graded; the style of reproduction of passages read is frequently no better in S6 than in in S3. A lively interest might be given to such exercises by the introduction occasionally of short debates on suitable topics. The analysis and synthesis of sentences are generally fairly well done, but certain portions of formal grammar, such as the use of the possessive case, and exercises designed to extend the vocabulary, appear to be neglected. Moreover, there is too frequently a tendency to regard the exercises on the test-cards as ends in themselves, and not as subsidiary to the art of composition. business and other notes are generally neatly written but weak in form. The vocabulary of the pupils is still limited, and very little use is made of figures of speech. That most of these defects can be overcome is evident from the excellent work done by some of our best schools. Arithmetic. —Arithmetic receives its full share of attention. Indeed, it may be confidently asserted that no other subject so thoroughly engrosses the earnest efforts of teachers and pupils. The results, although in a good many schools not by any means commensurate with the time devoted to arithmetic, are in most cases satisfactory. Where failure has been reported it has frequently been due to a want of correlation between the programmes of succeeding standards, the work of each standard not being carefully grafted on to that previously done. In other words, there is too little revision and too little overlapping. The main desideratum is a more solid grounding in the four simple and four compound rules. The examination tests have revealed inaccuracy in mechanical operations as the commonest form of weakness, while errors in working have very frequently been traced to careless figuring and untidy setting out. In the simple and compound rules errors are more frequent in subtraction and division than in addition and multiplication, indicating that more practice is required in the two former rules. Very great diversity of attainment is shown in mental arithmetic; in some schools the pupils are both quick and accurate, while in others they are so slow that we are forced to conclude that the daily practice in this exercise has been very perfunctory.

Drawing and Handwork. —Year by year drawing from objects is displacing drawing of copies from cards. Considering how inexhaustible is the supply of natural objects and the advantage of each pupil being supplied with one for his own use, it is surprising that more use is not made of them. In regard to fashioned objects, the list is often very badly graded. It gives one a shock, for example, to find a cup and saucer in the infant course of one school and in the S6 course of another. Colour and design work are in more general use than last year. The helpful correlation of drawing and handwork with other subjects of instruction — e.g., cartonwork and geometrical drawing with arithmetic —is not sufficiently recognized. Woodwork and cookery are taken with good results by a very considerable proportion of the upper standard pupils. By the moderation and discretion of the Board and its officers the objections of parents to the attendance of their children at centres for manual instruction have been almost overcome. In the case of schools remote from these centres cardboard-work has been taken with results ranging from fair to good. There was some difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of material, with the result that the teaching of the subject suffered to some extent. The teachers' Saturday class in cardboard-work has been responsible for very considerable improvement in this subject. In the junior and preparatory divisions the handwork subjects mainly serve the purpose of providing variety in the day's occupations : their value as instruments of education is not fully recognized except in the best schools. Nature-study and Elementary Science. —With few exceptions the schools of this district have taken elementary agriculture as their science subject. Mr. Gibb's supervision of the schoolgarden work meets with our hearty approval. The answers to the paper on rural science at the proficiency examination were surprisingly good, and showed that habits of careful observation and reasoning were being successfully cultivated through the medium of the school-garden work. A gradual improvement is being manifested in the conception of nature-study as a school subject. Still, in too many instances the nature-study lessons are lessons in botany. In some schools it is gratifying to find practical nature-study associated with drawing, colour work, and composition. Geography. —The teaching of geography may, with some qualifications, be called satisfactory. The knowledge of maps and of map-reading is deficient in many ways. Even in the upper classes inaccuracies regarding the points of the compass are frequent. More use should be made of rough maps, and there is no reason why the elements of map-reading should not be thoroughly mastered. The practice of memorizing notes is quite common. Mathematical geography is still on the decline, as is also to some extent the concrete treatment of physical geography, the teaching of which tends more and more to rely upon text-books. Sand-trays, for example, are now more rarely in use than formerly, and outside observation is not used as fully as it should be. History. —The teaching of history has been steadily deteriorating, with the result that in a considerable number of schools it is now of little value. It is quite obvious that a considerable number of teachers have very slight knowleelge of history and little appreciation of its value as a school subject. The regulation that requires every head or sole teacher to draw up his own scheme of work in history has, except in the case of the most experienced, been a disadvantage rather than an advantage. The divisions of historical time and the idea of the growth of the present out of the past are generally ignored in these schemes. As a general rule the only events satisfactorily treated as a series in an evolution are the incidents in the material expansion of the British Empire. An earnest effort is required in order to restore history to its due place in our schools. Singing. —The tone of the singing- in our schools is improving year by year, and there is a slight, but not a quite satisfactory, increase in, the number of schools in which modulator work, ear-tests, &c, are professed. Much still requires to be done before singing can be said to receive the recognition it merits. Health. —Half an hour per week is usually devoted to instruction in the laws of health. In most schools useful precepts relating to health, disease, and injuries are inculcated. Although an effort, is made to teach in an elementary way the principles underlying such precepts, the instruction is mainly empirical. The material contained in the temperance wall-sheets is, by special instruction of the Board, being used in connection with lessons in health. Needlework. —The needlework done during the past year has been mainly for patriotic purposes. Very great zeal has been shown in this work. In this connection the art of knitting by hand has been revived, and has been found, very useful. In the light of the present situation it might be considered whether the syllabus ought not to be revised so as to include knitting. Physical Instruction. —The physical exercises are regularly practised in the schools. In a comparatively small number of schools the instruction is really good; but owing to the fact that many of the teachers themselves have had no training, there is a large number of schools in which the instruction is only fair. The visits of the Department's instructors have been productive of good in schools where the teachers have received a training. In our opinion it, is desirable that all schools of Grade 111 and upwards should be visited by the instructors. It is hoped that the teachers' classes held early in 1917 will give a much-needed stimulus to physical training in the schools of this district. Correct posture is the first essential of successful physical drill. Some teachers appear to think that when the physical exercises of the day are over the necessity for enforcing correct posture is over. So it is that during the lessons hunched backs, sprawling bodies, spread-eagled arms, and general physical relaxation are much too common in our schools. Persistent yet, unobtrusive supervision of posture throughout the day is necessary in the interests of health. It is encouraging to remember that correct posture in standing or sitting, if regularly practised, becomes easy and habitual; the same is, unfortunately, true of unhygienic posture.

[Appendix B.

Buildings, <&c. —Though there are notable exceptions, it, is unfortunately still the case that the school buildings and grounds of the district are far from presenting an attractive appearance. The great majority of the buildings are of wood, requiring repair at fairly frequent intervals; these repairs, from want of watchfulness and lack of interest on the part of teachers and Committees, are too often deferred till serious expenditure has to be incurred in dealing with them. By the operations of various patriotic leagues the trashy "pictures" which used to decorate the interiors of our schoolrooms have been displaced in a good many instances by suitable engravings in decent frames, but in many cases much remains to be done to render schoolrooms homelike and attractive. The difficulty of obtaining caretakers is no doubt responsible for the dirt and discomfort characteristic of a good many schoolrooms in this district. Tn some places where this difficulty has been encountered the plan of co-operative cleaning by the elder pupils, when discreetly managed, has been very beneficial. In a climate like ours it is essential that playgrounds should be as well drained and gravelled as possible to enable games and physical exercises to be carried out in comfort and with efficiency. Gravel is plentiful in most parts, but the flatness of the country and the nature of the subsoil in many instances make drainage both difficult and expensive. In a number of cases the spread of gorse has occasioned considerable trouble; it is very difficult to sheet home the blame to the parties responsible. Plantations of trees and shrubs have been made pretty widely throughout the district, but more with the view of providing shelter than of ornamenting the grounds. It would be wrong to leave this subject without commenting adversely on the want, of cleanliness in the outhouses. It is the exception rather than the rule to find the closets decently clean, while the urinals and the grounds in their vicinity are in a great manj r cases in an unsavoury condition. The question of finding the necessary labour again arises here, and this time in acute form, since in this case the work to be done is of a distinctly unpleasant nature. The conscience of the public and of the School Committees will require a rude awakening before vigorous steps are taken to cope with this evil. We have, &c, A. L. Wylub, j A. Inglis, I Inspectors.

No. 2. REPORT OE THE INSPECTOK OF MANUAL INSTRUCTION. Sir, — Education Department, 13th July, 1917. The maintenance of the steady growth during the year in the number of schools taking one or more forms of elementary handwork may be regarded as indicating the growth of clearer ideas in regard to the value and place of handwork in a scheme of education. It is becoming the exception rather than the rule to find teachers who treat the better-known brandies of handwork as isolated subjects, and while there is still evidence of hazy notions and a failure from many causes to make the best use of the concrete method in teaching, the growth of clearer notions and of a desire to know and apply them is unquestionable, due in not a few cases to an interest in and study of the Montessori method. Increased attention is being given to cardboard-work, particularly in districts where it is not practicable to provide facilities for instruction in woodwork. In one district the Board has made carton and cardboard work compulsory for all pupils in Standards tV, V, and VI unable by reason of distance from a centre to attend classes in woodwork and oookery, and has provided a special course of instruction for the teachers. It is difficult tn understand why this subject is not more popular. In addition to its value as an aid to manual dexterity, it provides opportunities for useful exercises in elementary mensuration and instrumental drawing, while many of the completed models are very suitable for lessons in free drawing, and incidentally for exercises introducing pupils to first notions of capacity or volume. The opportunities afforded to students at, all the training colleges of gaining a sound knowledge of the methods and aims of the more elementary forms of handwork encourage the hope that, apart altogether from the aid in mental, moral, and physical training which handwork in schools provides if rightly applied, the possibilities the exercises afford of helping to create anil increase the manipulative skill of the nation will not be lost sight of. During the past few years the value, as a national asset, of a large body of skilled hand-workers has been brought home to us with poignant force, and the earlier the training of the hand in common with the training of the intellect is begun the better for the child and therefore for the nation. The boys and girls that can " use their hands " as well as their brains are national assets not, to be lightly esteemed. Reference is again made to the decline in. the number of approved classes in elementary physical measurements. It is recognized that, speaking generally, an increase in the number of subjects to be studied is undesirable, but for pupils unable to attend classes in woodwork and cookery a course in elementary physical measurements, besides providing a series of exercises in mechanical manipulation, affords an excellent and interesting introduction to scientific method. It is pleasing to record that steady progress has been made in teaching the more specialized forms of handwork in the direction of the elimination of non-essential matter, and the inclusion in the instruction of elements which assist pupils to assume the right mental attitude towards the work, with the result that improvements in both drawing and benoh-work are apparent in the woodwork classes. The stimulation of the creative and aesthetic faculties is not neglected, and new and original forms of some of the older models have been devised by pupils, and in some instances original surface decorations suggested. It appears necessary again to call attention to the necessity of instructors demanding in the bench-work a closer relation between the dimensions of the finished model and those of the drawing. In many instances there is too much disparity. The drawing is not made without purpose. It is for the guidance of the pupil as to the form and dimensions of the model, and it is not too much to expect of Standard VI pupils that the completed model should, in all dimensions, be within of those shown on the drawing. The ability to read a drawing and to work, to it accurately are valuable acquisitions for a lad and for the future mechanic. This naturally leads to the question, Which is more important, quality or quantity of work? The answer appears to be obvious. If quality is the desired goal, then much more time will have to be given to each model, and with the view of sustaining the pupil's interest until the model is completed the models will have to be of a type calculated to interest the boys. The average boy loves to make something which he can use, and if this is constantly kept in mind by instructors there should be no difficulty in devising the most educative and interesting models. In one district a small and useful bookshelf is included in the second-year models. The sample made by the instructor is used as a suggestion, and pupils are encouraged to alter the form and dimensions, and are allowed to carry out any alterations, provided they can furnish good reasons for so doing. The accuracy and finish of some of the completed examples appear to indicate that the pupils' interest had been sustained during the process of construction. The truth of the generally accepted statement that the greater the resistance offered by a material the greater the accuracy that may be attained in working it appears to be borne out by the standard of accuracy attained in a course of combined wood and metal work; the simple, useful, and sometimes decorative metal additions to the model appear to have a most salutory effect upon the work generally. At the centre where a complete course in manual-training metal-work is carried out a carefully graded and interesting set of models has been arranged; on comparing the average work of the classes with that of classes where the metal-work is taken after a year of woodwork the conclusion was arrived at that a higher standard of accuracy was attained in the case of the combined course. As both courses may be regarded as in the elementary stages, the present conclusion that the average pupil just entering on a course of

III

E.—2.

[Appendix C.

manual training finds the resistance offered by metals too much for him effectively to overcome, with the result that the insidious " near enough " creeps in, may in the light of wider experience prove to be wrong. Both courses are being watched with a good deal of interest. A feature worthy of .mention is the improvement in the lettering and figuring of the manualtraining drawings, and the practice in one district of giving special lessons in this subject has much to commend ii,. The desirability of working occasionally to decimal and metric measurements should not be lost sight of. A survey of the work of classes in subjects related to the home shows that there is little, if any, foundation for the statement that has occasionally appeared in connection with the classes in cookery, to the effect that too much fancy cookery and cake-making is included in the course of instruction. An examination of the syllabus of instruction and of the actual work of most of the classes shows that the larger part of the time given to practical work is devoted to the preparation of plain and economical dishes, and that the preparation and cooking of such important articles of diet as potatoes and porridge are not altogether neglected. Incidentally (he increase in the cost of bread has pointed to the necessity for instruction in breakmaking in the home, and at many centres this matter, together with the use of compressed yeast, has received adequate attention. Speaking generally, the instruction in plain cookery is on thoroughly sound and economical lines. Patriotic purposes have during the period of the war diverted the instruction to the making of special sweets and cakes, but the ordinary average household menu, with useful and at times necessary variants thereon, forms the basis of the instruction. The extension of the practice of giving pupils in their second year (lie opportunity of arranging a simple threecourse meal, purchasing the material and preparing, cooking, and serving it, is worthy of note. Laying and decorating the table, making the most of the simplest material, and serving the viands in an appetising form sire not regarded as unimportant items in this part of the instruction. Elementary principles underlying the culinary art and general housewifery are receiving increased attention. Without in any way depreciating the excellent pioneer work done by instructors in the past, a comparison of the lessons given then with those given at many of the centres now is mostly in favour of the latter. The trained teacher having a substantial store of knowledge gained in the laboratory of chemistry, physics, physiology, hygiene, and allied subjects and their relation to foods, with a good all-round training in the kitchen, should, in the natural order of things, become a more efficient instructor in domestic subjects than one who has received all her training in the kitchen. The deeper and wider knowledge, the broadened outlook, and the better general training of the teachers of domestic subjects is having its effect upon the classes, and the value of their work both to the individual and to the State is unquestionable. Instruction in housewifery is confined te the cookery kitchen, and is in the circumstances as thorough as it can he. In these days when the value of economy in all things is stressed it has been said that time and effort are wasted in the cookery-room in the cleaning and polishing of things that are neither dirty nor dim. The only answer to this appears to be that the direct value to the girls of the lessons in housewifery lies in the treatment of the subject, and that as dirty tables and dull taps cannot very well be supplied to each class for practice purposes, the best possible use is made of the available soiled apparatus in the room for instructional purposes in a subject so closely related to the life and comfort of the home. Laundry-work and dressmaking continue to be taken in some districts as part of the training in domestic subjects, and viewed as a whole the instruction is sound and the information imparted is available for practical use. Steady progress continues to be made both in the number and work of classes receiving instruction in elementary agriculture, and in a combined course of elementary agriculture and dairy-work. It appears unnecessary in these days to emphasize the indirect value to the pupils of the instruction given. By means of the school-garden, experimental plots, and the correlated nature-study, habits of accurate observation and reasoning are being successfully inculcated. The instruction in dairy-work has in many instances proved of immediate value, as tests made by pupils on the home herd have assisted in the discovery and elimination of animals that, have become useless for dairy purposes. The amount of experimental work that can be carried out in this subject in the class-room and garden of a public school is limited, but there is little doubt, speaking generally, that the instruction has a high value in creating and intensifying interest in matters relating to plant-life. Viewing manual training generally, it can be safely asserted that in spite of the limitations of both teachers and pupils the work as a whole is assisting in the development, of what lias been aptly designated sis " the thinking hand." E. C. Isaac, Inspector of Manual Instruction.

No. 3. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS OF MANUAL INSTRUCTION, ETC. [For .Reports on Bural Courses in Distriot High Schools see E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] AUCKLAND. Extract from the Report op the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. During the year the only new centre established for woodwork, and cookery classes was Tauranga. There are now open in this district the following manual-training centres: Te Kopuru, Dargaville, Helcusviile, Whangarei, Devonport, Ponsouby, Newton, Newmarket, Otahuhu, Pukekohe, Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Aroha, Waihi, Thames, and Tauranga. A. manualtraining school has been built at Matamata, and will be opened in June, 1917. At Te Kuiti ,£350 was raised by local subscription towards the cost of a manual and technical school, and the building, which is in course of erection, will include a science laboratory for use of the secondary pupils of the District High School. The sum of £400 has been given by the Northcote and Birkenhead Borough Councils towards the cost of erection of a manual-training school at Northcote, and application will be made to the Education Department to approve of the establishment, of a, manual-training school there. The Tauranga centre was opened early in. October, 1916, and by the end of the year the pupils (over two hundred in all) had completed their sixty hours of woodwork and cookery. The pupils attended five hours weekly—those from distant, schools attending for one full day each week, and those from the Tauranga primary and secondary departments attending for two two-hour and one one-hour lesson weekly. This scheme was extremely satisfactory, and the attendance of the pupils was remarkably good. The equipment used at Tauranga was that belonging to the Helensville centre, the pupils at the Helensville centre having completed their sixty hours' attendance by the end of September, 1.916. To avoid expense in transferring equipment the Tauranga centre will be opened for 1917 immediately after the summer holidays, and by early in May the pupils (250 in number) will have attended for sixty hours the woodwork and cookery classes. The equipment will then be taken back to Helensville, and that centre will be opened for 1917 work on the 31st May. A woodwork-room was erected at Tauranga, but the cookery lessons wore taken in a rented building which was fitted up for the purpose. The Tauranga -Borough Council gave the free use of the electrical apparatus and current, and the Tauranga Gas Company were also very liberal in their assistance. 1 strongly recommend this system as being suitable for many of the smaller centres of population. The work is more satisfactory both to the instructors and to the pupils. The instructors, who are living on the spot, can do more efficient work than can possibly be done by them when visiting a centre for one or two days weekly. Under this system it is possible for a woodwork and a cookery instructor to visit, three centres in the year and give sixty hours' instruction at each centre, and it is to be noted that one set of equipment will serve for the three centres. Owing to the small number of pupils at Te Kopuru and Dargaville the manual-training classes there during 1916 were run at a very heavy loss to the Board, so it was decided that for 1917 the pupils should be required to attend for four or five hours weekly. By the end of May most of the classes will have completed their sixty hours. The instructors will then be transferred to other centres for the remainder of the year. An important step was taken by the Board in deciding that in future any girl to be appointed as teacher-in-training at a city centre must possess certain educational qualifications which will enable her at the end of her two years' training in the cookery centre to gain a home-science bursary at the Otago University. It is recognized that a science training is a necessity for instructresses if the domestic-science course is to be efficiently carried out. Over seven thousand children are in regular attendance at the woodwork and cookery classes, and there is urgent need for more accommodation to provide for the ever-increasing numbers in Auckland City and suburbs. New centres should be established —one at Onehunga and another at Kingsland or Avondale. The secondary boys at Waihi as part of their woodwork course added a porch, 12 ft. by 12 ft., on to the woodwork-room. At Tauranga the senior boys lined the woodwork-room. At Pukekohe the secondary boys are adding a teachers' room, 8 ft. by 8 ft., to the cookery-room. The whole of the work in each of the above cases has been done by the boys under the direction of their instructor. For 1916 230 schools had recognized classes in agriculture, eighty-five schools had classes for the combined course in agriculture and dairy science, and three schools had dairy-science classes. Twenty-two schools were awarded certificates of merit for their agriculture and school-garden work. Thirty schools had recognized classes in swimming and life-saving. TARANAKI. Extract' from the Report of the Director of Agricultural Instruction. A System of short visits at frequent intervals has been established in connection with the primary-school classes for agriculture, each instructor taking a share of this. All teachers are to have a short course of instruction at Easter. A strong effort is being made to improve the surroundings of the schools by planting flower borders and plots of native shrubs and trees and

8.—2.

[Appendix C

of shade trees. Especial attention is being paid to the propagation in each school of plants suitable for distribution to surrounding schools. A great deal of attention is also given to the study of pasture plants and to the cultivation of lucerne and other fodder crops suited to dairyfarming and to our climate and soil. A point requiring attention is the overrunning of the school-grounds by horses, either those of pupils or those of residents on the occasion of entertainments. Until this practice is stopped by the fenoing-off of a portion for a horse-paddock, in many schools no improvements worth mentioning can be attempted.

WANGANUI. Extract from the Repoet of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Agriculture,. —The supervisors "of the work in this branch report that the outdoor work on the whole showed a decided improvement. Outside environment received considerable attention in a number of schools, a feature being made of Arbor Day. Tree-planting was much in evidence. In Wanganui the borough gardener presented the schools with a large number of trees, and it. is satisfactory to note that a. good percentage of these are growing well. Improvement could be marie in some of the gardens by undertaking some definite work, and not merely filling the gardens with plants. The necessity for doing work in the garden to answer questions that have been proposed during the term preceding the beginning of outdoor work in the spring is stressed. The experiments should be followed carefully, and the results of the observations noted regularly. Much good work is begun but never finished. Sometimes this result is brought about, by trying too much, and sometimes by being too late with the various crops. Notebooks in most schools showed an improvement, but some of the larger schools have not quite reached the required standard in this respect. There is still room for improvement in the character of the indoor experimental work, notwithstanding the definite instructions laid down in the Leaflet issued by the Board. The work should, as far as possible, be experimental and observational. The scheme should show a number of principles that are to be dealt with during the winter period. Experiments to illustrate these principles should then be selected, the pupils being given an opportunity of trying to devise experiments. It is surprising how fertile in ideas some pupils are. Several experiments in the list issued by the Board were suggested by pupils. When the experiment has been worked and understood a record should be entered in the notebook. Secondary pupils from the Wanganui Technical College and the Taihape, Huuterville, Marton, Bull's, and Feilding District High Schools carried out work at the Marton School farm throughout the year, and attended the annual stock camp at Almadale and the annual shearing and wool-classing camp at Mount Stewart. At the Marton Farm the work was carried on with some difficulty owing to the uncertainty of the weather and the difficulty of procuring horses and implements when required. A change in the method of working these plots is contemplated. The thanks of the Board are due to Sir James Wilson for his generosity in giving the Board the use of the land and for providing horses and implements. The stock camp at Mr. Short's Almadale farm was held in March. Thirty-seven boys attended. Lessons were given on Clydesdales, Romneys, and Herefords. The outstanding features of each breed were taught, and then other animals were studied by way of comparison. Several visits were paid to Mr. Short's Parorangi farm, where Mr. Short himself showed the boys over the granary, greenhouse, garden, and stables, and in addition gave some very interesting talks on culling and flock-marking. The examination of the boys oocupied about a day and a half, and was arranged for by Mr. Short, who examined the papers on Clydesdales and Romneys, Mr. Swift taking those on Herefords. In each case animals were selected that were new to the boys. Mr. Short generously donated a gold medal to the winner in each class. In addition to the revisal lessons in camp two lectures, illustrated by lantern-slides, were given. The shearing and wool-classing camp was held in December at Mount Stewart, twenty-four boys being in attendance. Some 850 sheep and lambs were shorn, and the owner, Mr. A. Matthews, expressed his great satisfaction at the character of the work. done. In addition to the actual work ol' shearing, instruction was given in the grinding and setting of shears, wool-classing, pressing and branding, drafting, ..fee. A work-list was set up each day to ensure that each boy received instruction in all branches of the work. For the training of teachers, pupil-teachers, and probationers classes were held at Wanganui, Feilding, anil Mangaweka throughout the year. As it was decided that a two-years course was necessary to enable students to qualify for the certificate in practical work in science, first-year students were given a course in general, science and second-year students a course based on the requirements for Class I) agriculture. In the latter class the majority of the students did a very considerable part of their experimental work at home. This work was almost wholly confined to germination and growth, but it is hoped that next year the work will include the study of soils and insect and fungus pests. The instruction given at the classes was not only on the lines of giving a training in the science of agriculture and in the practice of the art, but in the methods of teaching agriculture in the schools. Except in a few cases the work of the students was satisfactory. Home exercises were set each week, and on the whole were well done. A winter school for uncertificated teachers was held in July. The junior students were given a course in general soience, and the seniors a course in agriculture for the D certificate. Lessons in first aid and ambulance were given in the evenings. Woodwork and Domestic Science. —Classes were held at Wanganui, Patea, Marton, Bull's, Rongotea, Feilding, Palmerston North, Foxton, Apiti, Pohangina, Kimbolton, Hunterville, Taihape, and Ohakune. 668 pupils from twenty-nine schools took woodwork, and 653 pupils from

Appendix o.]

E.—2.

twenty-eight schools took domestic soience. These numbers are higher than those for 1915, and would, of course, have shown a much larger increase but for the change in boundaries. New centres were established at Foxton and Ohakune. It is the intention this year to give to the pupils of country schools who can conveniently travel to training centres an opportunity of attending classes. Instructors' reports indicate that good work was done at all centres. In the woodwork classes many of the articles made by the boys were donated by them for patriotic purposes. The work of the secondary pupils of the district high schools consisted of making farm-gates, picket gates, step-ladders, Morris chairs, book-cases, piano-stools, bed-ends, palmstands, dovetailed boxes, reinforced-concrete fencing-posts, troughs, &o. At, Hunterville a small shed was erected, the floors being of concrete, and about 50 ft. of concrete path was laid. At Taihape a sloping concrete retaining-wall about 60 ft. in length was built. The building-con-struction course (theory) included lime, cement, mortar, bricks, brickwork, foundations, floors, walls, and roofs suitable for farm buildings. Farm sanitation and plumbin, including the construction and functions of a septic tank, were dealt with. A course in farm mechanics was also covered. The care, sharpening, and management of tools were made special features in the curriculum of the woodwork classes. In domestic science the primary pupils received instruction in cookery, home-management, and hygiene. The secondary pupils received, in addition, a course of instruction in dressmaking. Arrangements are being made this year to instruct the secondary pupils in laundrywork also. Art Instruction. —Arrangements were made by the Board to allow of more time being devoted to this work hy the Supervisor, and in consequence a much wider field was covered than in past years. Upwards of 130 schools were visited, including all the main schools, almost all the medium-sized ones, and a large number of the small ones. The work of the pupils was carefully examined, and lessons were given to all classes in the various branches of drawing, design, &c. Matters relating to schemes of work, and to methods of teaching were fully discussed with teachers, the subject of blackboard demonstration being extensively dealt with. Opportunity was taken to embody in the written reports suggestions of a practicable nature deemed helpful to the teachers concerned. Various articles — some of them illustrated — bearing upon the teaching of drawing and design were prepared by the Supervisor and published in the Leaflet, and it is gratifying to find that these have been helpful to teachers. An examination in drawing in connection with the Proficiency Examination was held at the close of the year. The work sent up showed generally a satisfactory improvement upon that of previous years, and it is reported that, taking a general survey of the work of the year, there was an increased interest in drawing all round on the part of both teachers and pupils, and a distinct advance in the quality of the work done. It is proposed during the ensuing year to give a number of demonstration lectures to teachers. These will be held at convenient centres, and will entail little or no expense on those teachers who attend. Teachers' classes were held at Feilding regularly throughout the year, with an attendance of between forty and fifty students, the majority of whom were pupil-teachers and probationers. The work of these classes was planned so as always to keep in view the matter of the teaching of art in the primary school. Each day's lesson was followed by a regular homework exercise related thereto, and the great use of this has been fully proved by the very satisfactory progress made by the students. Teachers' classes in this subject were also held at Mangaweka (thirteen students) and at Wanganui (forty-five students). Handwork. —Recognized classes in handwork were held at 184 schools. Difficulty was experienced in securing supplies of material, the cost of which has advanced considerably. As no increase has been made in capitation we have had to some extent to curtail supplies to schools, and it is likely that a still further curtailment will be necessary. Swimming and, Life-saving. —7B6 pupils received instruction in this subject, being an increase of 186 over 1915, the figures for which included the schools transferred to the Taranaki Education Board. The erection of baths for the Campbell Street School, Palmerston North, which are to be open to the pupils of other schools also, will mean a considerable increase in the number of children in the district who will this year receive instruction in this important subject. Rural, Course. —The rural course for district-high-school pupils was continued at each of the six district high schools, the number of pupils who took the course being 176. Needlework and Dressmaking. —Special teachers of needlework were employed at thirty-one schools. At, four schools instruction was given to seventy-five pupils in advanced needlework and dressmaking. Other Subjects. —Classes in physical measurements were held at seven schools and physiology and first, aid at one school. It is interesting to note that, although the net, loss to this district in school population owing to the change in boundaries was 1,582, the numbers who were receiving instruction at the close of the year in woodwork, domestic science, handwork, and swimming and life-saving show a considerable increase in the figures for 1915.

HAWKE'S BAY. Extract from the Rei'oiit ok the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. FAementary Handwork Classes were carried on under the Manual and Technical Regulations in 121 schools during last year. The numbers of pupils receiving instruction in the various groups of classes were : P-S2, 5,893; S3-S4, 2,849; S5-S6, 1,963 : total, 10,705. The subjects taken included plasticine-modelling, sticklaying, paper-folding, crayon-work, paper-cutting,

Appendix C.

carton-work, cardboard-work, and brush drawing. Teachers arc recognizing that it is necessary, in order to obtain the greatest educational value from this class of instruction, to arrange that the manual work should be both progressive and continuous from the infant classes to the upper standards. Needlework Classes recognized under clause 26 (c) of the Manual and Technical Regulations were held in nine schools. The total number of girls on the rolls was 120, and the average yearly attendance was 107. Woodwork Classes. —In order to obtain the best results from manual training it is essential that all pupils attending these classes should have received a sound training in a properly graded and progressive course ol' elementary handwork. For boys who are destined to receive' instruction in the upper standards in woodwork a preparatory course should include instruction in paper-folding, paper-cutting, carton-work, and cardboard-modelling. It is allowed now by all educational authorities that mental development of the child proceeds more quickly when manual instruction is included in his course of studies, and the child who has not been taught to combine both hand and eye training is to a certain extent the loser in mental qualities. The course of instruction in woodwork in this district extends over four years (primary classes two years and secondary classes two years), and consists of a carefully graded series of models well suited to the ability of the pupils. The course in instrumental drawing has a direct bearing on the class models. In the secondary work more attention should be paid to lessons on various kinds of timber, to its growth and structure, fibre and grain, and the uses of the common varieties. These lessons should be illustrated by longitudinal and cross-sections of the kinds of timbers used by builders. In Gisborne, Hastings, and the southern centres the drawing and bench-work has reached a high standard of excellence. The woodwork exhibit, made by the woodwork boys at Hastings, Waipawa, Dannevirke, and Woodville centres, at the Hawke's Bay agricultural and pastoral show in October last was an excellent one, and reflects great credit upon instructor and pupils, particularly the agricultural section of the exhibit. The woodwork at Napier centre is still far from satisfactory. The drawings are inaccurate and carelessly finished, and the benchwork is just what would be expected from such drawings. Thirty-four classes in woodwork were held during the year, with a roll number of 803. The attention of all instructors must be called to the great necessity of continually stressing the importance of neatness, accuracy, and finish of both drawings and models. It is only by careful attention to the finished product that teachers and parents alike will come to realize that this form of education is playing a useful part in the education of the present generation. Domestic Science, Cookery, and, Dressmaking Classes. —These classes arc conducted at Gisborne, Napier, Hastings, Waipawa, Dannevirke, and Woodville centres. The two years' work with primary pupils consists of the theory and practice of cookery, with experimental work (elementary) in the chemistry of foods. The secondary work, in addition to the above, includes a course in invalid cookery, personal hygiene, and home-management. Good work is being done at all centres, and the girls are receiving a particularly sound training in this branch of work. There were thirty-four classes in domestic science and cookery with a roll number of 736, and thirty-four classes in dressmaking with a roll number of 678. The scheme of work in dressmaking is based on the departmental syllabus, and includes drafting from the pupils' own measurements, and making a skirt and blouse. During last year, however, a number of the classes were engaged in patriotic sewing. Elementary Agriculture and Dairy Science. —Classes in elementary agriculture and dairy science were recognized by the Department in ninety schools throughout the district. The number of classes in operation was ninety-nine, with a roll number of 1,978. Tt is felt that a number of teachers have failed to realize the aims of elementary agricultural training in the primary schools. The primary schools cannot teach farming any more than the woodwork classes can turn out carpenters. Both of these results are beyond the aims and powers of the primary schools. The primary schools should aim at creating a live interest in the country and in rural pursuits. It is during the primary-school period that tastes and interests are formed that ultimately find expression in the desire to go on the land. By nature-study and its adjunct the school-garden the pupils can be brought into close touch with nature and with nature's ways. Avenues of fresh interest can be continually presented to the pupils by the enthusiastic teacher, and whatever can be done to make elementary agriculture and school-gardening systematic and definite will increase its educational value. It is noticed that too often the school-garden is large and cumbersome, and the labour entailed in keeping it free from weeds becomes irksome and causes lack of interest on the part of the pupils as well as the teacher. Tt should be remembered that irregular and insincere work in the garden is harmful both to pupils and teacher, and in addition discredits the whole movement towards practical education. For the coming year teachers are recommended to limit the size of the garden plot, especially where schools have dropped in attendance. It is also suggested that a special plot be set aside in the school-garden for the teachers, and that this plot should be used to furnish most of the material for the nature-study lessons of the school. A greater correlation between school-garden and the indoor work should exist than does at present. For example, the pardon should contain all types of roots mentioned to the pupils in a lesson on "plant-roots," and the pupils should be taken into the garden and shown the different types. When insect pests are being discussed those in the garden or schoolground should be known first. The study of seasonal changes in plants, propagation, the conditions of growth, the character of soils, ice., are all subjects that if treated from the correct viewpoint must bring class-room and garden into a closer relationship than at present exists. It is in work of this kind—'i.e., something done with a, definite aim—that the primary school can best play its part in agricultural education.

Swimming and Life-saving.— Gisborne School is still the only centre where swimming and life-saving is taught on a systematic plan. Considering the importance of this art, and the splendid exercise it is, it is to be regretted that other centres where facilities exist have so far not attempted to hold regular classes. Elementary Experimental Science.— Classes in elementary science were conducted at Hastings Napier Mam, Port, West, South, and North, and at Gisborne Main. The total number of classes was sixteen, and the yearly average 575.

CANTERBURY. Extract from the Report op the ex-Director of Manual Training. School Classes. —The only new classes in attendance have been from Shirley and Redcliffs Schools, but there has been a decided increase in the total average attendance, and some classes have been embarrassingly large. From the point of view of manual training it will be a very great advantage to the working of the Department when an additional centre is erected and the division of these large classes is rendered possible. Teachers' Classes. —These have been held in dressmaking, cookery, and woodwork. The class in dressmaking held at the Technical College has been attended by nineteen teachers, and the class in woodwork at the Normal School by seven teachers, but in cookery the average attendance has been only four. There is always sufficient demand to make a good dressmaking class, and if the numbers do not justify a class in cookery all teachers who wish to increase their domesticscience qualifications would do well to take this subject. Domestic Science. —An important change has been effected this year in making the time for all Standard V classes one hour and three-quarters in place of one hour and a half. The instructors are unanimous as to the improvement which this renders possible in their work, especially in the direction of providing extra facilities for housewifery. I am certain that a further lengthening of the period would make the work still more efficient, although this need not involve any increase beyond the sixty hours per annum. If it, could be arranged to give Standard VI twenty lessons of three hours and Standard V thirty lessons of two hours a more satisfactory programme would lie possible and greater progress would be made. The instructors have constantly tried to co-ordinate more closely the work of the home and the school by encouraging the application at home of the skill and knowledge gained at the centres. Certain credit, has been given for such work, and the fact that the pupils bring to school for criticism samples of what (Ley have done at home shows that the system has served to stimulate interest. The introduction of breadmaking, rendered possible and easy by the use of compressed yeast, has been greatly appreciated, and some of the pupils were successful in gaining awards at the competitions held at the Industrial Exhibition at Easter. Some of the classes have been taken to visit steam-laundry and biscuit and confectionery works, and the further development of such a practice, accompanied as it is by observation and description on the part of the pupils, is, I think, desirable. Woodwork. —The practice adopted during the last two years of encouraging the boys in the senior classes to think out their own designs and adapt them to standard exercises has been, continued, with very satisfactory results, especially in the direction of creating interest. In many cases boys have been so anxious to spend their whole time on the woodwork and drawing that they have preferred to do at home the notes on tools and material. In order to facilitate this a summary outline of the lesson has been drawn up by the class, and this has proved valuable in confining the subsequent detailed description to the more essential parts of the lesson. Metal-work. —The introduction of metal-work has been greatly appreciated. It calls for higher skill, and its combination with woodwork has made the course much more interesting. A number of pupils decorated their exercises b}' the addition of copper and brass trays, whilst others were content to work with tin procured from empty petrol-cans. The latter has proved an economical source of material for this class of work. Among the articles made were soldiers' packing-tins of various sizes, introducing development in setting out, bending, and soldering. Having the definite object in view of sending Christmas boxes to the soldiers in the trenches, these exercises were very popular. Extract from the Report of the newly appointed Director of Manual Training. 1 beg to submit a report on the handwork done in the Canterbury District during the year 1916. In view of the growing importance attached to handwork in our primary schools, the interest in all subjects connected therewith is gradually on the increase. In nearly all of the 376 schools of the district an attempt was made to teach some form of handwork, although in some cases the results obtained were often disappointing, whilst in others really good work was done. In what is known as elementary handwork, the subjects of instruction varied too much. Perhaps the fault lies in the fact that there arc too many subjects on the syllabus from which to choose, thus allowing teachers to take up subjects which, although having considerable educational value in themselves, lead to nowhere as it were. Of course, a teacher will naturally take up a subject according to his or her bias, but much of the value of the instruction is lost when a subject is taken up in one class and dropped in the next, thus spoiling the continuity of the work. In all schools plasticine and paper-folding should be taught in the P to S2 classes, as forming the best media for developing form and colour, whilst in the larger schools some other adjuncts might be added. In S3 and S4 cardboard and carton work should be taken as an

[Appendix G.

introduction to the advanced cardboard-work and woodwork in the upper standards. These subjects have been well taught in many of the schools. Brushwork in the. hands of a capable teacher has a very great value, and many of our teachers do excellent work in this subject, but very often the teaching is done in a perfunctory manner, with the result that the drawing suffers considerably. In what is known as advanced handwork classes have been recognized all over the district, the principal subjects taken up being cookery, woodwork, agriculture, dressmaking, advanced needlework, botany, chemistry, physical science, swimming and life-saving, &c. Most of the interest centred round the woodwork and cookery classes, as woodwork forms a handwork subject for S5 and S6, and cookery counts both as science and handwork for these standards. A great many centres have been established in different parts of the district, and where practicable pupils have been conveyed by rail, tram, and coach to receive instruction. Much has been done, but much more remains to be done, as not a tenth part of the available pupils in the district is receiving instruction in these, the highest form of handwork. Why should the country pupil be denied the advantages of the town pupil? The work might very well be extended by creating more centres and providing a lighter equipment where instruction could be given in a modified form. In the larger centres much good work has been done on sound principles by competent instructors, but in some of the smaller centres the work was often very mediocre. The trouble lies in the difficulty in securing competent instructors; very often a local artisan, cook, or cabinetmaker is appointed who has to grope in the dark, and is not capable of correlating the work with the other standard subjects. Much of this difficulty might be obviated by the appointment of itinerant instructors who would be thoroughly capable as teachers. Laundry-work has been taught in all the large centres, and it is hoped that equipment will be provided to enable instruction to be given in the smaller centres as well. Advanced dressmaking and needlework have been taught at many of the schools by itinerant instructors. This should prove of great benefit to girls who are unable to travel to convenient centres to take cookery In connection with the above subjects, the needs and wants of our boys at the front have not been forgotten, as many a box of dainty edibles has been filled and sent from the cookery-room by the cookery instructresses and their willing assistants. At the woodwork and dressmaking classes also numbers of useful articles have been manufactured for Red Cross and patriotic purposes. In a country like New Zealand, where there is so much water, it is very important that all boys and girls should be taught the principles and practice of swimming and life-saving, and due attention has been given to this subject during the past year. In all centres where swimmingbaths were available instruction was given in the art of swimming and in the principles and practice of resuscitation. Many of the teachers have devoted a good deal of extra time and trouble to the work of instruction, and in the larger centres it is a very rare thing to find a boy or girl who is unable to swim. . In the country districts, where no swimming-baths are available, it is difficult to know how instruction may be provided. Extract from the Report of the Chief Instructors in Agriculture. North Canterbury. During the year two schools have found it impossible to give the required time to schoolgardening, while three others have taken up the course in the North Canterbury area, making the present number of schools 106. In the South Canterbury area the number of schools is seventy-one, as against sixty-four last year. Four schools on the West Coast had recognized classes. 1915. 1916. Schools. Children. Schools.

Many teachers have shown much improvement, partly as a result of the knowledge that their work followed accepted lines, and partly because of the spring school of instruction held in September. Once again it is necessary to report that quite a percentage of the teachers fail to appreciate the truth of the axiom " No impression without expression," hence the notebooks are not often what they might be. Many of the schools are continuing to take careful records of soil temperatures, rates of growth, rainfall, &o. During the year playground-improvement schemes were devised and supervised at a number of city and suburban schools. South Canterbury. During this year all of the seventy-six schools in this district taking agriculture as a class subjeot were visited except one. The three district high schools —Waimate, Temuka, and Pleasant Pomt —were visited weekly, and Geraldine District High School once a month. The experimental work at these schools is giving promising results. At Waimate, of the seven varieties of lucerne obtained from the Government Department by the Headmaster and tested here under his supervision, three of them made strong growth during the winter months, while the others were at a standstill. Should this again prove a characteristic, seed will be saved and the varieties further propagated. At Pleasant Point, by means of green-manuring

Appendix C.J

with mustard, ryeoorn, ami vetches, definite educative results have been obtained. In addition to the increased fertility as indicated by the crops, the physical condition of the soil has been decidedly improved. At all our schools an endeavour is made to carry out our work on the lines of modern scientific teaching, and, furthermore, to correlate it as far as practicable with that of local farm practice. Variety tests are under way with mangolds and potatoes. Southland Up-to-Dates are being tested alongside of local. Keen interest is evinced throughout the whole district in the potato-growing competition (1916-17). With regard to our fruit-tree culture and nursery-work, the majority of the teachers here have now a good grasp of the subject. The results on the whole are most gratifying. At the Main School alone upwards of 350 trees have been successfully budded or grafted this year, and will be removed to the pupils' home gardens. Several hundreds have also been worked at our district high schools. With the surplus trees from these orchards are being built up at teachers' residences where desired. I have much pleasure in stating that throughout the whole district there is ample evidence of a real live interest in the work not only by teachers and pupils, but by parents as well.

OTAGO. Extract from the Report of the Inspectors of Schools. Imbued with a notion that a primary-school system should concern itself only with the literary and mathematical side of education, for some years many of our teachers evinced a want of appreciation of the aims and educative values of manual instruction, with the result that the manipulative exercises were regarded as additional subjects, and their inclusion was justified on the grounds that they were only counter-irritants to book-work; but as the result of different leavens a fermentation of ideas set in, and manual work is now treated not as a new subject, but as a new method of applying the principles of Pestalozzi, which have for their objective the promotion of the child's development morally, physically, and intellectually. Not infrequently have we found that pupils who appeared abnormally dull and irresponsive in the literary work have been wonderfully stimulated in self-expression through the exercise of the motor activities; while with all, in the hands of thoughtful teachers, such work generates the habit of self-reliance, keeps the interest and the attention cheerfully engaged, and reduces the disciplinary function to a minimum. From the point of view of the practical enducationist the manual dexterity is developed at the age at which it should be developed if it is to reach the pitch needed in maturer years. Where the subjects of manual instruction are judiciously co-ordinated with the other subjects of study, and the schemes of work are carefully graded, we find the results most satisfactory; but in those few cases where the subjects are isolated and the schemes lacking in continuity or constructiveness, a powerful educational factor is rendered inoperative and its efficiency impaired through careless treatment or want of appreciation of the aims and scope of manual instruction. Handwork is taken in all schools, the branches for the junior classes being in the main paper-work, colour work, and basket-work, and we record with satisfaction a more extensive use of plasticine. In the middle classes the favourite branches are colour work and carton-modelling. In the former branch we note a growing interest in the application of colour work in the drawing of natural objects, while in the latter there is still a lack of close co-ordination with measurement and number work. In the senior classes brushwork, woodwork, and cookery have been continued at the manualtraining centres, while in the majority of the rural schools the pupils continue the elementary agriculture in connection with garden plots. In this subject much more might be done in regard to the principles underlying the subject, and in future we shall insist on this phase of the work receiving more attention than it has hitherto received. During the year the swimming classes at the Oamaru and Dunedin municipal baths were conducted with highly satisfactory results.

SOUTHLAND. Extract from, the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Elementary Handwork. —Elementary handwork forms now a regular part of the curriculum in practically all the schools of this district. As in. former years, the subjects that have received most attention are paper-folding, plasticine-modelling, and cardboard-work. In addition to the value of these subjects in affording opportunities for useful manipulative exercises, teachers now appreciate more fully the usefulness of this work in aiding by concrete illustration the teaching of other subjects of the syllabus. Undoubtedly the more intimate the correlation the greater the value of the instruction imparted. For colour work in connection with drawing the use of pastels in the lower classes has greatly increased, and the number of schools taking brushwork shows a corresponding decrease. For the upper standards, however, brushwork is still popular. In all schools where the children of the upper classes do not attend at the special centres for instruction in woodwork and cookery a course in cardboard-work is being followed. This subject, in addition to being one of the best substitutes for the course in woodwork, is, in the hands of the intelligent teacher, of the greatest assistance in such subjects as drawing, geometry, and arithmetic Not only is the constructional work interesting to a child, but it calls for care and accuracy of the highest order if the finished results are to be satisfactory, and for this reason as a preparatory training for a course in woodwork it cannot be excelled.

E.—2.

Appendix 0.

Woodwork and Cookery. —About 40 per cent, of the schools in the district received instruction in these subjects, the number of schools in attendance at each centre being as follows : Invercargill No. 1, 8; Invercargill No. 2, 25; Gore, 24; Riverton, 14. In addition to these, two classes from the High School attended the Gore centre for both cookery and woodwork, and in the case of Invercargill main centre a class of girls and two classes of boys from the Technical High School also received instruction. In connection with the latter school, owing to the increase in the number of classes from primary schools it was found impossible to set apart one whole day as in the past for secondary-school classes, and it is evident that it is but a matter of time before the services of the instructors will have to be devoted entirely to primary-school work. In the case of the town schools the interest taken in their work by quite a number of boys was evidenced by their eagerness to be allowed to work during other than school hours. Tn addition to the ordinary class-work it should be mentioned that a considerable amount of work of a patriotic nature was also undertaken by the primary-school boys, who were responsible for the making of 2,800 tent-runners for the Defence Department and sixty Red Cross packing-boxes for the local branch of the society. Towards the close of the year an exhibition of the work done in both the cookery and the woodwork classes was held in conjunction, with the Technical College display, and created considerable interest, the woodwork display being specially meritorious, Particular interest was taken also in the work of the ex-pupil of the Sumner Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. As in the previous year, the parents of children in attendance at these classes from the town schools were afforded an opportunity of seeing these classes at work, and those who availed themselves of the invitation assuredly went away with a better understanding of the value of the instruction imparted. Elementary Agriculture. —The enthusiasm of the agricultural instructor and of the teachers is reflected in the evident interest taken by the children in their garden-work and in the intelligent answers given by them under examination. A comprehensive scheme of indoor experimental work, based on the subject, of soils, was drawn up, the experiments being interesting and well within the understanding of the children concerned, in addition to being of highly educational value in the hands of the intelligent teacher. In regard to the outdoor practical work a' series of experiments in the growing of potatoes was carried out. The scheme provided for the planting of scabbed potatoes treated with formalin, and for comparisons to be made in the results obtained from cut verms whole potatoes and sprouted versus unsprouted. In addition each school was provided with three kinds of field-turnip seed and a variety of vegetable and flower seeds. A supply of lime and manure was also sen! out. In this way efforts were made to impart a knowledge of correct garden procedure, to provide material for nature-study, and by beautifying the school-grounds to cultivate the aesthetic taste. On the visits of the instructor to the various schools opportunity was taken to give instruction in regard to the noxious weeds of the district and their eradication. The life-histories of various insects, both beneficial and destructive, were also fully dealt with, as well as the best means of destroying or controlling such as are pests. In. a number of schools excellent work was done in the garden, and results were obtained that were a credit alike to the teacher and the children; but there are still eases to be found where the somewhat untidy and neglected state of the plot shows only too plainly that the teacher has not grasped the value of this subject of instruction in stimulating the mental activity and intellectual growth of a child. Where an intelligent scheme of co-ordination is practised the teaching of such subjects as composition, arithmetic, drawing, mensuration, &c, is materially assisted. The Board was much indebted to the local manure-merchants for generously providing all the manures required for the garden plots, the total value of the donations amounting to .£lO 13s. 6d. For the improvement of their gardens eight schools during the year forwarded applications for subsidy on voluntary contributions to the amount of £27 2s. lid. in cash and £10 2s. in material. Advanced, Needlework. —The number of schools receiving instruction in this subject during the year was forty-one, an increase of fifteen over the corresponding figures for the previous year. Recognizing the latent possibilities of these classes in the way of assisting to relieve distress amongst those in the Home lands who were suffering as a result of the ravages of war, the Board provided material for these classes for the making of children's garments, and the girls entered most enthusiastically into the work. Altogether over three thousand garments were made and sent Home for distribution. The work sent in from all the schools was highly creditable alike to the teachers and the girls concerned, and a special word of commendation is due to them for their zeal in what was evidently a labour of love. As regards the other manual subjects, there is little that requires special reference. The number of schools where instruction was given in physical measurements was exactly the same as last year. In classes for swimming and life-saving there was an increase of five, making a total of eight schools receiving instruction. I can but repeat what was stated in my last report that surely it should be possible to have a larger number of schools where competent instructors could be found willing to devote the necessary time to the teaching of a subject that should be made compulsory in all schools where reasonable facilities exist. The fact that the capitation earned, less a small percentage for administration expenses, is paid to the instructor is evidently not a sufficient inducement.

APPENDIX D. TRAINING OF TEACHERS. No. I.—EXTRACT FROM THE FORTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. Training of Teachers. There are four training colleges situated in the four principal centres of the Dominion, which are open to four classes of students, as follows : Division A, ex-pupil-teachers, ex-probationers, or ex-trainees of recognized kindergarten schools; Division B, other students who have passed Matriculation or obtained a higher leaving-certificate; Division C, University graduates admitted for one year; and Division D, teachers entering on short-period studentships. The numbers of students in attendance during the last quarter of 1916 under the various divisions were—Division A, 381; Division B, 44; Division C, 9; and Division D, 8; the total being 442, as compared with 390 for the previous year. These figures do not include students absent with the Expeditionary Forces. The numbers of students at each training college during the last quarters of 1915 and 1916 respectively are indicated in the following table : — , 1915. , , 1916. , Men. Women. Total. Men. Women. Total. Auckland ... ... ... 33 79 112 29 85 114 Wellington ... ... ... 17 69 86 11 91 102 Christchurch ... ... ... 14 78 92 18- 92 110 Dunedin ... .. ... 16 84 100 21 95 116 Totals ... ... 80 310 390 79 363 442 The number of students in 1916 shows a considerable advance over the number for the preceding year, the increase being among the women students. The necessity for men students taking up military duties upon reaching the required age naturally results in a large reduction in their number at training colleges. The ordinary course of training is for two years, so that if the training colleges had their full complement of students (125 in each case) the number of students annually completing their training and passing into the schools would be about 250. Under certain, conditions a one-year course is provided for in the case of University graduates or matriculated students who have completed a two-years course at an agricultural college or a school of home science recognized by the University of New Zealand. In addition, there are short-period studentships, of not less than three months' or more than one year's duration, for the benefit of teachers who have been already employed in teaching and are deemed worthy of further training in professional work, the allowances payable to such students being the same as those payable to students under Division B. The actual number of students completing one or other of these courses at the end of 1916 was 210. For the teaching practice of students the normal practising schools forming part of the training college in each case are available, and opportunities of observation are now extended so as to embrace specially selected teachers and classes in neighbouring schools. Each normal school includes— (a) a main school, organized as a "mixed school"; and (b) such "model schools" as may

[Appendix D.

be approved by the Minister, each model school being of one of the following types : (i) A rural public school under a sole teacher; (ii) a junior school under one teacher with not more than 45 children of classes P to S2 on the roll; (iii) a class representing the secondary department of a district high school; (iv) a class for backward children; (v) a junior kindergarten. Each training college is required to provide for its students a course in agriculture, and provision for the further training of selected students in this subject has recently been made. Agricultural bursaries may be awarded to such students at the end of their first year, enabling them to complete their training during a one-year or two-years course at a State experimental farm or an agricultural college. Further provision on a wider scale for the training of teachers and others in agriculture is also in contemplation on the lines of the recommendations of the Council of Education, to be carried into effect as soon as circumstances permit. From tables it appears that at the beginning of the two-years course at the training colleges 70 students held Class D certificates, and at the end of the course 6 students held Class B certificates, 112 Class C certificates, and 56 Class D certificates. The amounts paid to Education Boards in 1915-16 and 1916-17 for the training of teachers were as follow : — I. Training colleges— 1915-16. 1916-17. Salaries of staffs (two-fifths charged to public- £ £ £ £ school salaries) ... ... ... ... 12,700 13,268 Students' allowances and University fees ... 25,858 27,541 Special instruction, libraries, and incidentals ... 1,106 1,307 Buildings, sites, and equipment ... ... 6,081 942 11.

Apart from the provision for training colleges, a grant of £2,800 was approved last year for payment to Education Boards for the maintenance of training classes for teachers. Unexpended balances from previous grants amounting to £1,820 were included in this sum, so that only £980 really constituted the new grant for 1916-17, as compared with £3,275 and £4,000 granted in the two previous years. The purposes for which the grant was applied were— (1.) Central classes for the direct personal tuition of uncertificated teachers (exclusive of pupil-teachers and probationers) in subjects required for the D certificate. (2.) Tuition and training in Class D subjects of uncertificated teachers (exclusive of pupil-teachers and probationers) by means of correspondence classes under the control of Education Boards, in cases in which it is found highly inconvenient to bring teachers to classes. Under this heading, however, no correspondence classes in science subjects are recognized unless the Board makes adequate provision for practical work. (3.) Courses of practical work in physical and natural science, in subjects of manual instruction other than those usually taught by special instructors, in vocal music, and in drawing.

Appendix D.

E.—2.

Certain conditions were imposed last year with the object of ensuring that the classes were attended only by teachers who were making conscientious use of the instruction afforded for the purpose of improving their status or teaching ability, and only half-fees were paid for tuition by correspondence except in special cases. In the distribution of the grant the amounts allotted to the various Education Boards varied from £125 to £925. There appears still to be considerable difficulty in some quarters in providing adequate assistance to inexperienced teachers who, especially during the present emergency, are filling positions in country schools. Further consideration of proposals, including suggestions for the establishment of model schools where such teachers could receive a short training, and also for the appointment of organizing teachers or Inspectors having special charge of groups of small country schools, is deferred only until the conclusion of peace.

No. 3. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORTS OF THE PRINCIPALS OF TRAINING COLLEGES. AUCKLAND. The chief feature of the year has been the absence of the Principal on military service, and the consequent reorganization of the staff. The headmaster, deputy headmaster, first, second, and third male assistants were each advanced one place, and an ex-student was appointed to fill the vacancy thus left. This arrangement has proved satisfactory, especially in preserving a continuity of aims and methods both in the school and in tlie College. Other changes in the staff also became necessary during the year. The first term opened with a record number of students —119 —four more than in 1915. The number was made up as follows : First year —Men 22, women 55, total 77; second year —men 9, women 33, total 42; grand total, 119. Of this number, three men left during the year to serve their country in arms, and two women (both of Division D) withdrew before the close of the year, leaving the roll number 114. Under the circumstances the small proportion of male students is not surprising, for there is little doubt that the small number is largely due to the demands of the war. On the women's side the College space has been unduly taxed, and more accommodation may soon be urgently required. In 1908, when the College was built, the regulations provided for only eighty students; in 1916 the number of women alone exceeded this number by eight. Before the end of the year a number of students enlisted for military service besides the three mentioned above who actually went into camp. As the reality of the war came more and more closely into the College life and the call for men became keener, students found it harder to settle calmly to a studious life. This very natural tendency was particularly noticeable in the case of men awaiting their turn to go into camp after enlistment. In the face of this unrest a number of students were conspicuously assiduous in their studies, and achieved highly satisfactory results. In the Teachers' C and D examinations, as well as in those for University terms and for sections of the B.A. degree, the results have been very gratifying indeed. In the giving of practical training to the students the staff was again-assisted by a number of associated teachers in other city and suburban schools, whose services have been very helpful, and in some cases exceptionally valuable. The College staff rendered excellent service in this normal-school work, an extremely important part of the students' training. As in other years, on Wednesday afternoons a number of visits of observation were made with the purpose of enlarging the students' outlook. Among the places visited were Mount Eden, Rangitoto, the Museum, the Art Gallery, the Herald Printing-works (to see the printing of the Weekly News), the sugar-refinery, and Messrs. Ambury's milk-factory. I think the visits have been of considerable benefit to the students, and later should lead them as teachers to make use of their school environment as fully as possible. As in previous years, the sport side of college life was a, noticeable feature of its activity, and to this must be largely attributed the continuance of the general good health of the students throughout the year. Experience makes it more and more evident that this essential of our college life is the best safeguard against overstrain. In hockey our senior ladies' team had the honour once again of winning the association's.banner in the season's championship competition. In concluding this report I wish to pay a tribute to the loyal and able services of the staff. A man of strong personality like Mr. Milnes cannot be absent without his loss being strongly felt. I believe that every teacher in the school and college has felt the obligation to put forth in Mr. Milnes's absence their best efforts to compensate for his loss. Our joint aim lias been to earn? on his work in the way he would have done it, and thus to maintain the traditions which he has fostered. As Acting-Principal I take this opportunity of acknowledging my personal indebtedness to these ladies and gentlemen, with whom I have been proud to work. Without their loyal and earnest help I should not have been able to face the task that suddenly devolved upon me.

WELLINGTON. Terms. —The College opened on the 28th February, and closed on the Bth December, a working session of thirty-nine weeks, exclusive of the vacations. Roll. —Fifty-one senior students returned to complete their training, and sixty-six new students entered. During the year four students left and one entered, leaving a roll of 114 at the close of the year. This is exclusive of enlistments, which are dealt with in another place. The students were classified as follows: Division. A, 105; Division B, 4; Division C, 4; and Division D, 1. Curriculum. —The course of study prescribed by regulations was arranged as follows : History and principles of education (senior classes), hygiene, child-study, and nature-study —the Principal; method—the headmaster; science and geography—Mr. E. K. Lomas, M.A., M.Sc.; kindergarten methods —Miss Maitland; music—Mr. R. Parker; domestic science—Miss. L. Wilson,

B.So. j handwork —Mr. Howe; drawing—Mr. Vivian Smith (of the Technical College Staff); needlework —Miss Moßae; physical culture—Mr. Kidston. In addition to this, Miss J. Hetherington, M.A., gave special courses in English literature, history, phonetics, and history of education. University College Classes. —The attendance at University lectures was as follows : English, 39; Latin, 23; French, 16; German, 2; mental science, 22; education, 46; history, 7; economics, I; mathematics, 9; biology, 22; chemistry, 1. The results of the University work were : 22 students kept first-year terms, 10 students kept, second-year terms, 7 students kept third-year terms, 31 students gaining first-class passes, 77 second-class passes, and 82 third-class passes. These class results, both in numbers and quality, are the best I have had to record, though the " terms " results mean that relatively few students are proceeding to take the degree in three years. Only one of our students was proceeding to the science degree. While regretting the fact that so small a proportion of students are preparing for the important work of scienceteaching, the demands of the sciences in the matter of time practically limit our students to one of these subjects. Certificate Results. —Fifty-six students completed their training in December last, and the joint results of the various examinations and the Training College recommendations were as follows : D certificate, 3; D and partial C certificate, 23; C certificate, 21; B certificate, 9. There is still a feeling abroad that these certificates do not represent as much as those gained exclusively through departmental examinations. While I acknowledge that the only conclusive proof to the contrary is the proved worth of our trainees as teachers, it is due to those holding the T.T. certificate to state that recommendations are made in certain definite subjects (of the C syllabus) in cases where the candidate has quite attained the standard required by the external examination, and, further, that the candidate has done a large amount of work quite outside the five subjects required— e.g., an external-candidate can obtain his C certificate on passing in English, education, physiography, handwork, and woodwork. Every Training College student has probably done, in addition, method, hygiene, agriculture or domestic science, kindergarten principles, music, swimming, nature-study, phonetics, and history, these extra subjects being in most cases carried two years lieyond what might be called the D standard. Practice. —The College is still placed at a very decided disadvantage owing to the distance between the College and the practising school. So far we have not taken advantage of section 4 (2) of tlie Training College Regulations, which provides, for appointing associated normal teachers. The increasing number of students and. the difficulties mentioned above render some such course now necessary. The latest Training College Regulations prescribe a minimum of 200 hours' teaching in each year, but, as in previous years, the bulk of the practice has been placed in the second year. The annual visit of our senior students to the city schools was paid in September, and was in every way successful. Staff. —Owing to the increased attendance at the Kelburn Infant School, M-iss Hursthouse was in August appointed to the new position thus created; otherwise the staff has remained unchanged. No provison has yet been made for transferring the Main Normal School to Kelburn, which, as a large and rapidly growing district, has claims for the accommodation of the older children quite apart from the necessities of the students in training. Enlistments. —During the year eleven men students left the College to go into camp. This now makes a total enlistment of eighty-eight past and present students. Up to the present time 128 men have passed through the College, so that the percentage of enlistments is a credit both to the spirit and to the physique of our younger teachers. A further and interesting fact is that twenty-four of these men have won commissions in open competition either here or on the field. The casualty list up to"date has been a heavy one, the following twelve students having made the supreme sacrifice. [Names not printed here—See Appendix B to E.-l.] In addition, ten of our men have been wounded and five have been invalided while on active service. War Work. —A very creditable amount of work was done during the year by both pupils and students for our soldiers and for various charities, and in addition a substantial sum was raised by concerts held at, the Normal Schools and at the Training College. Inspections. —The Medical Inspector spent the first week in June with the students; the Normal Schools were examined in July; the Assistant Director inspected the whole institution in October; and the Manual and Technical Inspector examined the students in handwork in December. In addition, the Department's physical instructor gave the junior women students a special course in March, and the senior women students a similar course in December. Summer School. —During February the usual, special course for uncertificated teachers was given.

CHRISTCHURCH. , • • Forty-six students enrolled the previous year returned to complete their course of training, and sixty-nine new ones were admitted. During the year three men volunteered and were accepted for active service. One woman student withdrew owing to ill health, and one for urgent domestic reasons. The roll at the end of the year contained 1.1.0 names. Eight students in

Division B, and four University graduates in Division C, have not had'any previous experience as teachers. The great majority—lo3—were ex-pupil-teachers or ex-probationers. In a total enrolment of 115 only twenty-one were males. This reduced proportion is partly due to the war, which accounts for the absence of five men who, under ordinary conditions, would have taken a second year of training. Moreover, three pupil-teachers who had qualified for admission to the College enlisted on the conclusion of their term of apprenticeship. Only a limited number—the more advanced in scholarship and also of robust physique— took the full course at Canterbury College for a University degree, but several others studied for the purpose of gaining University certificates of proficiency in one or more subjects, with the view of qualifying for a teacher's certificate of Class B. All of the students take one or more courses each year, and enjoy the advantages derived from participation, in the life and activities of a University college. The working-conditions of the students at Canterbury College have been greatly improved by the marked forward movement made in the way of structural additions, including the provision of commodious common rooms. Suitable opportunity for practice in teaching and for observation of methods employed by expert teachers has been afforded to the students on the lines indicated m last year s report. Their teaching of classes or drafts has been closely and effectively supervised, and ample provision is made for individual assistance and criticism. During the two-years course oi training each student is offered facilities for studying approved methods in use in practically every class in the main school, as well as in those model schools which more especially deal with the type ot work which the student is likely to undertake alter leaving the Training College. In order to avoid interference with their practice in teaching, which is arranged for three separate groups of students at three separate hours of the daily morning session, lectures given by the Principal and Tutor are duplicated-.,., a lecture delivered at the tirs is" repeated in the third period to another group of students who are not required for teaching practice at that hour.

With the increase in the number of students who live away from home, the demand for a hostel, more particularly for the women students, grows more urgent. Careful inquiry is made with the object of ensuring that the students select quarters where facilities for study are afforded; but the present arrangements can be regarded only as preliminary to something better, as they lack the opportunities for proper supervision and the development of that corporate spirit that is a prominent and desirable feature of community life.

DUNEDIN. Number at Present. —There were admitted in 1916 10 men and 54 women, the total numbers at the beginning of the year being 22 men and 105 women. Of these, 2 men and 8 women left during the year, making the present numbers 20 men and 97 women, viz. : First-year students, 9 men and 52 women; second-year students, 11 men and 45 women. Volunteered for Active Service. —Of the men who entered College in 1913, nineteen volunteered out of twenty-one; in 1914, eleven volunteered out of eleven; in 1915, nine volunteered out of twelve, the last return not being complete. The 1916 entrants are mostly too young, but it is thought that there will not be more than four senior men in College next year. Most of the above are at the front. Three have been killed and several wounded. It will be a fine thing for the teachers of the coming generation to have among their ranks such a large number of men who have fought and risked all for their country, and any present sacrifice is worth it from every point, of view. The subjects taught were as follows : —

Accommodation. —There are 117 students, of whom ninety-seven are women. The College was built to accommodate eighty students, in ratio as to sexes 1 : 2— i.e., fifty-three women. It has therefore to accommodate ninety-seven instead of fifty-three. The crush may be imagined when both-years students come together. Boarding Arrangements. —There are not any. Sixty-nine young women from outside Dunedin have to find board as they best can. I have before expressed the need there is for a College hostel. The advantages would be (1) unity and control of supervision; (2) boarding arrangements to suit College work, and consequent economy of time and energy; (3) increase of College spirit and greater unity among students, and therefore more lasting result of College training. To these might be added better health arrangements as to exercise and baths, &c. I regard this boarding question as the most pressing one in connection with training colleges. Medical. —In connection with the health of students I think that arrangements might be made for the Medical Inspector of Schools stationed at Dunedin to attend at College once a month and inspect the health condition of students, especially the women. This could easily be done in connection with drill, and a record kept of condition, &c, of each district. Many cases of nervous weakness would then be detected in time. It seems odd that Medical Inspectors should be instructed to examine the school-children but not the students of the institution. In fact, I think that pupilteachers and probationers should be examined also during their course, which could then be adjusted to their health-capacity on such lines. The health of women students decidedly needs more supervision. Too many of them come here fresh from the worries of teaching large classes, and also from the worry of the January examinations, and in anything but a fit state to undertake a College course without regular and compulsory medical supervision. It is impossible to pay for it out of their meagre allowance, and it seems to me that the Medical Inspector should take over this work as a regular part of routine. The fact that so many students are away from home care intensifies the need. Home science continues to supply the main scientific training for female students. Professor Boys-Smith," whose department supplies the teaching, complains that the C programme in domestic science ii is too diffuse and needs to be unified. The students have three hours a week each year at this subject, and should benefit by the course, more so if it were improved. General Science Subjects. —As will be seen by the return of University classes, science subjects continue at a disadvantage compared with other subjects. The reason is that a University science class takes from seven to nine hours a week, yet for a certificate only counts as one subject. English counts as a C subject with only two to three hours a week. If a science subject up to degree standard were to count as two subjects for C instead of one, or if a student taking a University science were allowed to drop English as a compulsory C subject (provided it was taken up to Matriculation standard) there would be a more equal division of effort and result. Pupil-teachers and Probationers. —The question continually comes up for discussion as to the connection between pupil-teacher or probationer training and training-college training. Which should come first? A considerable number of pupil-teachers and probationers never go through the training oollege, but proceed straight to positions, satisfied with the practical training they have received. On the other hand, pupil-teachers or probationers who have been through the College freely admit the benefit they have received. As to which form of training should come first there are opinions on both sides. There is no doubt that a preliminary course of practical teaching before entering college tends to make the student more awake to the problems involved in an adult attempting to teach a child; but, on the other hand, it also tends to give the student preformed ideas, often narrow and mechanical, as to methods which solve these problems. We find these two results in our practice with students : (1) The student who has not been a pupilteacher or probationer is often unaware that there is any jiroblem to be faced in teaching a child. To him words must carry the same idea to all classes of mind. On the other hand, (2) the student who has been a pupil-teacher thinks that he has the proper one and only method of teaching a subject. He tends to revert to this method which he has used every day for at least two years, and leave the new one which he has seen for only a few hours altogether and has practised with a certain lack of responsibility inseparable from mere practice lessons. One of last year's students expressed the opinion, after being in charge of a sole-teacher school for a year, "If I could go back to college now wouldn't I learn and notice far more than I did before! " I think the ideal way would be to combine both elements: First one year at college, then one or more years responsible teaching, then a second year at college. Students' Practice. —We have made considerable use of associated schools, nearly half the senior students gaining their practice and observation in them, of course, in rotation. I do not see how it can be otherwise. If 117 students are to find each 200 teaching-practice-observation hours in the year in the Normal School, both that practice and the work of the school must be very much cut up. Then what becomes of the school as a model one —for the children at each stage would necessarily be ill prepared owing to constant interruption 1 Of course, the plan of associated schools has its weak points. The greatest is the prevalent opinion (due to the more or less mechanical manipulation of large classes) that teaching method is evolved and perfected, " cut and dried," to be acquired imitatively and applied universally. There is also, of course, the question of control. Nevertheless, the students appreciate the privilege of seeing different

[Appendix J).

teachers at work, and 1 think on the whole the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I think that head teachers of associated schools should be paid a bonus as well as the class teacher. The intrusion of a student would be then more a part of the regular school duty. Specializing. —l notice that the Department is calling for offers from students willing to specialize in a further one or two years' course in agriculture. I think this is a good departure. There is no reason why students should not be encouraged and selected to specialize in handwork, agriculture, science, and physical drill. An extension of their course for two or three years would be necessary on slightly more liberal terms. The Department would thus be providing special instructors in these special subjects who were also trained teachers —a combination that is not always obtainable. General. —The work of the College has proceeded on its usual lines. The conduct of the students has been very satisfactory. I am privileged each year to come into contact with a very considerable number of young men and women who are really in earnest about their work, and who cannot but be in the future towers of strength to the service.
