Table B2.—School Attendance at Public Schools for 1917.

Table B3.—Average Attendance for the Year 1917 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 B2 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 then o-rades. 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, 10; lIIb, 64 ; IVa, 76 ; IVb, 181; IVc, 98 ; Va, 57 ; Vb, 169 ; Vc, 201 ; Yd, 127 ; Vla, 137 ; Vlb, 276; VIIa, 43 ; VIIb, 106 ; VIIc, 30 ; VIId, 288 ; VIIe, 120 ; VIIi, 252 : total, 2,235.

APPENDIX A. ABRIDGED REPOETS OF EDUCATION BOARDS. AUCKLAND. Sir,— Education Office, Auckland, 27th March, 1918. In accordance with the requirements of the Education Act, the Education Board of the District of Auckland lias the honour to submit the following report for last year : — Board. —The members in office are : For the Auckland Urban Area —Mrs. R. L. Baume, and Messrs. F. W. H. Brinsden, G. J. Garland, and G. W. Murray; North Ward—Mr. J. D. McKenzie (Chairman) and Mr. R, C. Smith; East Ward—Messrs. E. C. Banks and A. Burns; West Ward —Messrs. J. Boddie and J. S. Bond. T regret to report that Mr. W. Auld, a member for the West Ward, died at the end of 1917. The Board places on record its appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Auld as a member of the Board. Schools. —At the end of last year the number of schools in operation was 641, being an increase of eleven during the year. Of those schools 126 were worked as part-time schools. In reporting upon part-time schools the Inspectors state that the main object in recommending that schools be worked half-time is not to effect saving, but to secure greater efficiency in the schools; and that the relatively high salary paid in part-time schools tends to draw a teacher of a much better class than can usually be secured for small full-time schools, and that in consequence the work in part-time schools is generally of a much higher quality than the work in Grade I full-time schools. They state further that they are of opinion that, whenever practicable, small schools should be worked as part-time schools. Buildings. —During the year fifteen new schools were built and sixteen schools were enlarged. At the end of last year school was hold in. 502 buildings belonging to the Board and in 139 privately owned buildings. The number of teachers' residences was 204. Improvements, renovations, and larger repairs to schools are undertaken by a competent staff of workmen under the direction of the architect. It has been necessary to postpone as far as possible such maintenance works as are not considered very urgent, owing to the heavy cost of materials and the increasing scarcity of labour, and the fact that the cost of painting-materials, roofing-iron, &c, is now practically prohibitive, and, further, that for the most part the quality of the materials is indifferent. So soon as things become normal again the arrears of work will be overtaken as early as possible. Attendance. —The number of scholars or the roll at the end of last year was 52,133 —viz., boys, 27,166 ; girls, 24,967. This represents a total increase of 1,802 for the year. The average attendance for the December quarter was 47,162, and for last year the average was 45,742. At the end of last year 2,396 Maoris and half-caste scholars were enrolled. Teachers. —The Board regrets to report that eighteen teachers have been killed in action during the year (names published in Appendix to E.-l). The number of teachers now with the Forces amounts to 300. Owing to the withdrawal of so many teachers for active service, the Board continues to experience serious difficulty in securing competent teachers to staff the schools. The Board has resolved that, in the interests of those teachers who are on active service, all appointments, as far as possible, shall be made temporary during the period of the war. Pupil-teachers. —The Board is strongly of the opinion that the remuneration offered to pupilteachers is insufficient to attract the best of our young people into the teaching profession. A beginner in the Public Service is paid £50 a year, plus £28 a year boarding-allowance if required to live away from home, whereas a pupil-teacher with the same qualification (i.e., Intermediate Examination) is paid only £45 a year with £15 a year boarding-allowance. It is not an uncommon occurrence for a pupil-teacher or probationer to resign in order to accept appointment in the Public Service or some other calling. Three such resignations have been received during the present month. Another factor which seriously affects the admission of desirable candidates to the teaching service is the altogether inadequate remuneration paid to Training College students during the two years they are required to attend College. The experience of this Board is that some of the best pupil-teachers for financial reasons are quite unable to attend the College. Training College. —The number of students at the end of last year was 105. Since the war began 158 students and ex-students have joined the Forces. Of those, twenty have been killed in action, and thirty-one have been wounded. The Board greatly regrets to report that the Principal, 2nd Lieutenant Herbert A. E. Milnes, who volunteered and was accepted for active service in March, 1916, was killed in action in the attack of Passchendaele Ridge, France, on the 2nd October, 1917. The Board places on record its appreciation of the very valuable services rendered by the late Mr. Milnes in the cause of education in this Dominion. His excellent qualities as a man and an educationist were very highly appreciated. His name will be remembered with i—E. 2 (App. A.

E.—2.

[Appendix A.

affectionate regard by all those who had the privilege of his acquaintance. It is the intention of the Board not to appoint a successor to Mr. Milnes until after the war, and to allow the present arrangements for the conduct of the Training College and Normal School to continue in the meantime. Manual and Technical Instruction. —During the year manual-training schools were built at Matamata and Te Kuiti, and steps are being taken to provide manual-training schools at Rotorua, Huntly, Te Awamutu, Northcote, and Coromandel. The manual-training schools in Auckland City are overcrowded, and it is hoped that another school will be built at Kingsland during 1918. Classes were held at the following centres: Te Kuiti, Dargaville, Whangarei, Devonport, Otahuhu, Pukekohe, Hamilton, Thames, Waihi, To Aroha, Matamata, Te Kopuru. The numbers in attendance at the various technical schools are steadily increasing, and the general efficiency of the work shows a marked improvement. The main subjects taken at the various centres are English, arithmetic, book-keeping, shorthand, typewriting, dressmaking, home science, woodwork and trade drawing, with the addition of plumbing at Thames, and plumbing and engineering at Hamilton. Application has been made for a grant for the erection of new technical-school buildings at Hamilton. A building consisting of a science-room and a class-room is being erected at the Morrinsville School. The Board has made the rural course compulsory for all first- and second-year students in district high schools. The following are the district high schools : Aratapu, Pukekohe, Coromandel, Paeroa, Waihi, Tauranga, Te Kuiti, Cambridge; and to these, for 1918, will be added the newly established district high schools at Huntly, Taumarunui, and Matamata. It has been decided to increase the number of instructors in agriculture from three to five for ,the year 1918, and accordingly two additional instructors have been appointed. A teachers' farm school held at Ruakura Government Farm of Instruction during January was attended by about ninety teachers, and proved very successful. The Manager, Mr. A. W. Green, and officers of the Ruakura Farm, and Mr. J. Brown, B.Sc, Director of Agricultural Department, and officers of the Agricultural Department, gave every assistance, and the thanks of the Board is due to them for their active co-operation. 319 primary schools had recognized classes during 1917 (223 agriculture, ninety-three in agriculture and dairy science combined course, and three in dairy science). Every school in Grade lIIa, with one exception, and not including nineteen city and suburban schools, had recognized classes, as also had ninety-seven sole-charge schools. There are also'ten Native schools with recognized classes in agriculture. Teachers' classes for instruction in dairy science and agriculture, botany, and hygiene were held in January, June, and September; and, owing to the kindness of Mr. E. C. Isaac, Inspector of Technical Schools, who acted as instructor, a course of instruction in cardboard modelling and plasticine modelling was given, to teachers in January, 1917. There is a great desire on the part of teachers for more instruction in these subjects. Thirty sohools held classes in swimming and life-saving. Recognizing the importance of domestic-science teaching, the Board has decided to appoint, at a salary of £300 a year plus travelling-expenses, a woman organizer who will devote her time to the supervision of domestic-science work in the manual-training schools, technical schools, and colleges. Seddon Memorial Technical College. —The war continued to exert an adverse influence on the College during the year, both as regards instructors and students. In the Technical High School the number of pupils in attendance was 541, being an increase of thirty-three over the previous year. The total number of students attending the College was 1,752, as against 1,837 in 1916, the decrease being largely attributable to the drain on students of military age. Advisory Inspector. —Since the Inspectors became officers of the Education Department very often considerable delay was experienced in obtaining reports on various matters referred to them, so, with a view to expedite the furnishing of reports on applications for schools, enlargement of schools, selection of sites, &c., the Board resolved to appoint an Advisory Inspector. Mr. E. C. Purdie was appointed to that position at the beginning of last month. Mr. Purdie was formerly an Inspector of Schools in this district. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. D. McKenzie, Chairman.

TARANAKI. Sir,— Education Office, New Plymouth, 31st March, 1918. In accordance with the provision of the Education Act, I have the honour, on behalf of the Taranaki Education Board, to present the following report of its proceedings for the year 1917 :— At the beginning of the year the Board comprised the following members : Mr. R. Masters (Chairman), Rev. A. B. Chappell, Messrs. E. Dixon, S. G. Smith, H. Trimble, and C. A. Wilkinson, M.P. The Rev. A. B. Chappell, representing the North Ward, resigned on the 7th February, and at the special election held on the 26th March to fill the vacancy Mr. P. J. H. White was duly elected. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year 1917 was 153, inclusive of sixteen schools held in buildings not belonging to the Board. During this year new schools were opened at Finnerty Road, Hapurua-Waitewhena, Moss (household), and Te Wakarae, while the schools at Herangi, Mangaehu, Patua, and Shield's (household) were closed.

Scholarships. —Senior National Scholarships were awarded to pupils of the following schools : Stratford District High School,1; New Plymouth Boys' High School, 3. Junior National Scholarships were awarded to scholars from the following schools: New Plymouth Girls' High School, 4; New Plymouth Boys' High School, 1; Waitara, 1; Hawera, 1; Manaia, 1; Stratford, 1. The Bayly Memorial Scholarship was awarded to a pupil of the Stratford District High School, who, however, relinquished the scholarship in favour of a Junior National Scholarship. One pupil from the Stratford District High School was awarded a Junior University Scholarship, being third on the credit list, the boy's success being a pleasing proof of the high standard of secondary work in this district; another pupil secured second place on the credit list in the Senior National Scholarship Examination, passing the Matriculation Examination at the end of the third highschool year. Teaching Staff. —The following are the numbers of the teachers, pupil-teachers, and probationers in the service of the Board at the end of the year : — Male. Female. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... 39 22 61 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... 19 73 92 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 13 112 125 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... 1 22 23 Probationers ... ... ... ... 4 19 23 76 248 324 Buildings. —New schools have been erected at Awakino, Finnerty Road, Pukengahu, Tahora, and Te Wakarae; also, additions were made to the Tokirima and Otakeho Schools. The Stanley Road School, destroyed by fire in 1916, has been reinstated. The new school, having been erected on modern open-air principles, has attracted some notice outside the limits of this district. The Okato School has been completely renovated and practically rebuilt. At Tatu a new residence, containing four rooms, has beeii erected. Eighteen schools and fifteen residences have been painted during the year. The installation of a properly equipped workshop and plant has enabled the Board to undertake the manufacture of the whole of the required furniture and joinery, and has proved eminently satisfactory. As a matter of business, and in view of the uncertainty of obtaining supplies, the Board throughout the year carried a heavy stock of building-materials. The value of the building stock on the 31st December was £1,610. it may be mentioned that the Board found it necessary to incur very heavy expenditure on the maintenance and repair of school buildings in the southern portion of the district, in particular on the buildings taken over from the Wanganui Board. Agricultural Instruction. —This section of the Board's activities made good progress, as evidenced by the desire for extension of instruction next year at practically all centres. The centres of instruction for farmers reached a total of forty, and in addition several classes in horticulture and orchard-work were formed in the larger centres. For the latter development good support was forthcoming, especially from ladies, and a further'extension in this line is assured. A short course in agriculture, &c, at Easter was attended by the majority of teachers in the Board's service, and has already demonstrated its utility in increased interest and more co-ordinated effort throughout the district. A special feature is being made of improvements to grounds, and with this end in view some propagation has been done in the majority of schools, and in some of them a great deal. It is hoped that shortly each of our school-grounds will be a beauty spot, and an object of pride to pupils and teachers alike. The model dairy farm now in operation at Stratford is an important development so far as the future of agricultural instruction is concerned. The instructor stationed at that centre will be responsible for official records, and an increasing amount of instructional work will be taken there by rural pupils. Technical Instruction. —During 1917 the day classes at New Plymouth continued to be carried on, the engineering and commercial classes being very large classes. The evening classes were attended largely by compulsory students, many of whom showed a strong desire to progress in their studies. At Hawera day classes were inaugurated, and proved most successful. The commercial class was the largest, and in it and the general class much good work was done. The evening class in general was well attended. At Stratford, where the compulsory class was not in operation, some good work was done in the various evening classes. It will be necessary for the School Committee at Stratford to seriously consider the advisability of asking the Board to bring this centre into line with regard to the compulsory attendance of boys. At Eltham the experiment was tried of carrying on a shorthand class for girls in the early morning instead of in the evening. Owing to the keenness of the employers and others who made efforts to enable the students to attend, the success of the venture was such as to engender the hope that ultimately these early classes will be generally adopted. Manual Instruction. —Woodwork and cookery classes have been carried on at New Plymouth, £ Stratford, Hawera, Eltham, and Inglewood. In accordance with the policy that where possible the instruction should be carried to the children instead of vice versa, members of the Board visited Waitara and suggested to the School Committee that the residents of the town should raise sufficient funds to erect a building wherein woodwork and cookery might be taught. The idea was taken up with avidity, and the sum of £220 was collected. The school is now completed. Secondary Instruction. —It is pleasing to note the increase of interest in secondary education in this district. The attendance at the Stratford District High School and the day technical classes at New Plymouth and Hawera centres show that parents in the Taranaki Education District are becoming fully alive to the advantage of secondary education. The average attendance of the

III

E.—2.

[Appendix A.

Stratford secondary department during the period 1910—17 has risen from 95 to 140, and at Hawera from 34 to 47. As a further indication of the interest taken in education in this district, during the year the Hawera Borough Council offered the Board 5 acres of land, part of the Recreation Reserve No. 36, to be used as a site for the proposed technical high school, the site being one of the best in the borough; and the Stratford Borough Council, through the Board, donated 6 acres of land, part of Block 69, Stratford, to be vested in the Crown for education purposes, thus showing the keen interest taken by the citizens of those towns in secondary education. Pupil-teachers and Probationers. —My Board desires to bring before your notice the urgent necessity of revising the scale of remuneration and allowances paid to pupil-teachers and probationers, in order that capable youths may be attracted to the teaching profession. There is every indication of scarcity of male teachers throughout the Dominion and of the position becoming more acute in the near future. As an illustration of the difficulty in the Taranaki District, it may be pointed out that in the year 1916, out of forty-one applicants for positions as pupil-teachers and probationers, only six were males; in 1917, out of forty-four applicants, four males; in 1918, out of forty-eight, two males, one subsequently resigning his position immediately on appointment. Better salaries are being offered by other Government Departments and commercial houses. If youths are to be induced to take up the teaching profession, consideration must be given to increasing the salaries now offered. Desirable and qualified candidates are undoubtedly being lost to the teaching profession on account of the meagre salary offered. Payment to Relieving Teachers. —The Board, much against its wish, was compelled to reduce the allowance for sick-leave last year, on account of the capitation not being sufficient to meet the expenses attached to the reasonable time off for those unfortunate enough to be absent on account of illness, 'this has been unduly hard on teachers, who have given long and faithful services, and in many cases have not previously had cause to make a call on the Board. The allowance made is not in keeping with that made by private employers, and in many cases teachers have to return to their schools before they are sufficiently recovered to undertake their work. While the suggested increase in capitation will be appreciated and will enable the Board to make a more liberal scale for sick-leave, it will barely cover the cost incurred if the suggestions of the Department arc complied with. Further, the debit standing on the Board's books against this account will still be a charge on the funds unless the Department undertakes to meet the liability, which was undoubtedly created through the grant not having been increased at the same time as the salaries were raised. Teachers' Classes. —Saturday classes were held during the year at New Plymouth and at Stratford (alternate Saturdays) for the instruction of teachers and pupil-teachers in the following subjects : Drawing, hygiene and home science, handwork and agriculture. During the Easter holidays a successful course of instruction in agriculture, dairy-work, and nature-study was held at New Plymouth. The following is an abstract showing the number of schools, teachers, and pupils attending schools in the district, beginning with the year 1877, to the present time : —

The average attendance for the year was 13,543, which expressed as a percentage of the average weekly roll number was 89 - 9. This is I'4'higher than the previous year. The Truant Officer paid 274 visits to schools. 182 summonses were issued to parents. In the 147 cases proceeded with five were dismissed and 142 convictions were recorded. The fines inflicted and the costs awarded amounted to £81 Is. lOd. Teachers. —The number of teachers in the Hoard's service on the 31st December, excluding pupil-teachers and probationers, was 454. The number of uncertificated teachers was 170. Of these, ten were in charge of Grade 0 schools, seventy-three were in charge of Grade I schools, thirtyone were in charge of Grade 11 schools, and fifty-six were assistants. Omitting the teachers in Grade 0 schools, uncertificated teachers holding war appointments, and twenty teachers who were granted certificates early in the year, the percentage of uncertificated teachers was 28. Pupil-teachers and Probationers. —At the close of the year there were nine male and forty-two female pupil-teachers, and one male and twenty-five femafe probationers. The term of service of fifteen pupil-teachers and eight probationers expired, and of these fourteen entered the Training College. The Board desires to again direct attention to the inadequacy of the salaries and allowances of pupil-teachers, probationers, and training-college students. Scholarships. —There were in force during the year thirty-five Junior National, fourteen Senior National, and six Education Board Scholarships. The total annual value was £1,053. On the result of the examinations held towards the close of the year, at which 129 candidates entered for the Junior and fifty-one for the Senior Examination, pupils of the following schools were awarded National Scholarships : Junior—Wanganui Girls' College, 1; College Street, 1; Wanganui Technical, 3; Beaeonsfield, 1; Bull's District High School, 2; Palmerston North High School, 2; Feilding District High School, I; Victoria Avenue, 2. Senior —Wanganui Collegiate, 3; Palmerston North High School, 4; Wanganui Technical, 2; Feilding District High School, 1. The Lieutenant Gray Scholarship, which was established by friends of the late Lieutenant J. H. Gray, formerly on the staff of the Campbell Street School, Palmerston North, is open for competition by the boys attending the four Palmerston North schools, and such other schools as the trustees may from time to time decide, ft is of the annual value of £6 6s. At the examination held in December last eighteen candidates competed, the winner being a pupil of the Campbell Street School. Conveyance and Boarding Allowances. —The total amount paid under this head was £344 4s. 6d. Conveyance allowance was granted on account of sixty-three children in attendance at ten schools. Twenty-live children in attendance at eleven schools received boarding-allowance. It is considered that if, instead of providing a capitation of £8 for household schools, the Department increased the boarding-allowance so as to cover the actual cost of boarding the pupil away from home in order that he might receive instruction from an efficient teacher better results would be obtained than under the present system. Household schools are situated in remote parts of the country, and are attended by the children of one or more famiiies. The parents are called upon to supplement the teacher's salary, and to provide free board and lodging. This often inflicts hardship, especially where the settlers are in new country, and it seems unfair that they should be required to contribute in this way. The whole question of grants for the conveyance and board of children urgently requires attention. Voluntary Contributions. —The sum'of £841 10s. lid. was received in contributions for primary schools and £316 15s. 6d. for manual and technical instruction. A contribution of £100 towards the erection of a school at Nukumaru was promised, and at Nukumaru, Omahine, Mount Richards lload, and Upper Retaruke sites for schools were given free. This generosity on the part of parents and others has enabled the Board to carry out many works which it would otherwise have had to abandon or at least postpone; to establish new libraries and enlarge others; and to provide apparatus for Montessori work. To the contributors throughout the district the Board tenders its thanks. The War. —Fifteen teachers have joined the Expeditionary Forces in addition to those mentioned in previous reports. The total number of teachers and officials who have gone into camp is now ninety-two. (For names see appendix to E.-l.) Up to the time the report for 1916 was written seven of our teachers had made the supreme sacrifice. I regret to state that four more must now be added to the number. After very careful consideration the Board decided to appeal for the exemption of teachers in the Second Division. Good work continues to be done by the children throughout the district in raising funds for patriotic work. Buildings and Sites. —The principal works completed during the year were the erection of new schools at Pokako, Te Pou, Ore Ore, Mount Richards Road, Raurimu; the removal of the Brownlee School to Nukumaru; the removal of the Kimbolton School to a new site; additions I to the schools at Alton, Tiritea, Manunui, Te Arakura, and Raetihi; and the painting of thirtytwo schools and twelve residences. Repairs, erection of shelter-sheds, out-offices, <feo., have been carried out at a large number of places. Works now in hand include new schools at Omahine and Upper Tutaenui, and additions to the Carnarvon School. The erection of new infant departments at Campbell Street and College Street, and additions at Gonville, Terrace End, and Ohakea are contemplated. The Queen's Park School, with the exception of one room, was destroyed by fire in September last. It has been suggested that a site in another portion of the town be secured. The erection of the new building has been delayed pending a settlement of this matter. Excellent swimming-baths were constructed for the Campbell Street School. The School Committee under-

E.—2.

[Appendix A.

took the responsibility of raising the funds required for the work and for the purchase of a site of half an acre adjoining the new school-site. A subsidy of £200 was granted by the Department. Two acres of land were purchased as an addition to the Gonville site, the residents contributing £100. Suitable sites were given free at Nukumaru, Omahine, Mount Richards Road, and Upper Retaruke. The cost of building-materials continues to advance, and but for the fact that we have been able to lay in good stocks of some lines at fairly reasonable rates it would have been necessary to curtail our maintenance works. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The Board desires again to express its appreciation of the generous assistance given by local bodies and individuals throughout the district to technical education. The war has greatly interfered with the attendance of adult pupils at technical classes, but there was an increase in the numbers who attended manual-training classes during the year. The residents of Feilding have for some time been steadily working for the establishment of a technical high school, and it is pleasing to know that the Council of Education has approved of the proposal and has recommended that such an institution bo established when a suitable site is provided. It is expected that the efforts to procure a site will be successful. General. —l wish to thank Senior Inspector Strong for assisting and advising the Board in matters in which expert advice was required, and for continuing to fill the position of editor of The Leaflet. This little publication must be of immense assistance to teachers, and the wonder is that other districts have not taken up the idea. I have, &c., The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Fred. Pirani, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, 31st March, 1918. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, the Education Board for the District of Eawke's Bay has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings during the year 1917 : — Board. —In October last Mr. J. 11. Sheath, who had for eight years been a member of the Board, and who during the past three years had been Chairman, died. The Board desires to record its appreciation of the untiring and conscientious service rendered by the late Mr. Sheath, to whose upright and tactful supervision the smooth working of the Board's administration during the past few years was largely due. Mr. Sheath was succeeded on the Board by Mr. R. L, Paterson, so that the personnel of the Board at the end of the year was: Napier Urban Area— Messrs. J. Clark Thomson and R. L. Paterson; Gisborne Urban Area—Messrs. G. Wildish and J. H. Bull; North Ward—Captain J. R. Kirk and Mr. W. Oates; Middle Ward—Messrs. G. F. Roach and G. McKay; South Ward —Messrs. P. G. Grant and R. Soundy. Mr. J. H. Sheath was Chairman until his death, when Mr. G. F. Roach was elected to succeed him. Captain J. R. Kirk is still absent on leave with the Expeditionary Forces in France. The Rev. A. Grant, Messrs. W. G. Hunter and S. Ashcroft represented the Board on the Dannevirke High School Board of Governors; Messrs, G. F. Roach and R. L. Paterson on the Napier High School Board; Messrs. H. Bull and G. Wildish on the Gisborne High School Board; Messrs. R. L. Paterson, M. Chadwick, and A. L. Beattie on the Napier Technical College Board; and Messrs. G. McKay and W. J. Pellow on the Waipawa Technical Classes Association. Number of Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of 1916 was 157. During 1917 new schools were opened at Ihungia and Waitio, while schools were closed at Ellingham's, Eskmount, Eatuma South, Huanui, Lower Hangaroa, Ohuka, Poututu, Tamumu, Waimata, Waiwhenua, and Wharerata, leaving in operation at the end of <the year 148. Attendance. —The number on the roll at the end of the year was 13,176, an increase of 175 during the year. Kpidemies of diphtheria and influenza again seriously affected the attendance, which averaged 11,614, being 89 - 2 per cent, of the average roll. The average roll and attendance for the year were as follows: Average on roll, 13,021; average attendance, 11,614; percentage of attendance, 892. Teachers. —On the 31st December, 1917, there were in the Board's service 391 teachers, classed as follows :—

Certificated. Licensed. Uncortificated. Total :Iead teachers . . Sole teachers Vssistant teachers M. 51 3 23 F. 11 23 122 M. 2 0 0 F. 0 1 4 M. 0 5 1 F. 46 37 M. 53 8 24 F. 12 70 163 Total adults.. Pupil-teacliers Probationers 85 6 1 245 31 23 Totals 92 299

Thirty-three teachers and four clerks enlisted. Of these, five have been wounded and returned, though only two are yet fit for duty, and five have made the supreme sacrifice. Instruction of Teachers.— Teachers' Saturday training classes in drawing were established at Gisborne, Napier, and Dannevirke. The attendance and work were good. The Board continued its correspondence, classes, thirty-two uncertificated teachers taking advantage of the opportunities offered. In addition to the issue of study-sheets, winter and summer schools were held in Gisborne and Hastings respectively; twenty-five attended at Gisborne and thirty-four at Hastings. The excellent results obtained by the students in the Department's certificate examination prove the great value of the classes. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual and Technical Instruction. —Classes in elementary handwork were recognized in 121 schools, and the material for carrying out this work was all supplied by the Board. Considerable difficulty was experienced in procuring materials for certain of the classes, but with the willing assistance of the teachers sufficient were secured to carry on the work. The average number of pupils in the different groups of classes who received instruction was :P to S2, 6,029; S3 and S4, 2,829; S5 and S6, 2,149: total, 11,007. Needlework classes under clause 26 (c) of the Manual and Technical Regulations were conducted in nine schools. The roll number was 123, and average yearly attendance 102. Most of the work done was for the Red Cross or some patriotic society. 116 science classes were recognized for purposes of capitation during the year. These included forty-five classes in agriculture and dairy science, fifty classes in agriculture, and twentyone classes in experimental science. The roll numbers were as follows : Agriculture, 50 classes, roll 1,045; agrioulture and dairy science, 45 classes, roll 969; experimental science, 21 classes, roll 765 : totals, 116 classes, roll 2,779, The Board regrets that another year has gone by and the manual-training centre for Napier is not yet an established fact. Until the question of the site for Napier Main School is settled no progress can be made in this matter. In the meantime 400 pupils are deprived of instruction in woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking. The number of classes and roll in the district in these subjects were —Woodwork, 23 classes, roll 560; cookery, 23 classes, roll 526; dressmaking, 23 classes, roll 468. The quality of the work of the pupils attending the woodwork classes is steadily on the up grade. The instrumental drawing was particularly good, and the completed models showed that both pupils and instructors are doing satisfactory work. Physical Instruction. —The Inspectors report that during the early part of the year all the larger schools and many of the country schools were visited by the Department's physical instructors. The work on the whole is progressing, and the children are showing the benefit of the training. Periodic refresher courses are, however, required for the teachers, and to this end physical instruction was included in the programme of work undertaken at the winter school held in Gisborne during the month of May. Medical Inspection. —The district was not visited by the Medical Inspector of Schools last year, but the Board has reason to hope that in the near future a permanent Inspector will be appointed for the district, and that she is to have the assistance of a district nurse. The Board trusts that the Inspector will have the assistance of a physical instructor also in establishing corrective classes. Scholarships. —Scholarships in tenure during 1917 were—Junior National Scholarship, 32; Senior National Scholarship, 8; Wairoa County Council Scholarship, 3. Buildings. —The Board regrets exceedingly to have again to deplore the delay in proceeding with the replacing of the Napier Main School, destroyed by fire in November, 1916. The question of site has proved a stumbling-block, and though the Board has done everything possible to help and meet the Department in coming to a decision, nothing definite has yet been done. The Board earnestly trusts that you will do your utmost to have the vexed question of site settled and funds allocated for the rebuilding of this important school. The Board regrets that in January, 1917, the school at Te Rehunga was destroyed by fire. The Department has provided funds to erect an up-to-date building, which is nearing completion. During the year additions to the Gisborne East and Gisborne West Schools were completed, and a new domestic-science class-room was erected and equipped at Hastings. New works are in progress as follows: New schools at Te Rehunga, Kurukuru, Springhill, and Flemington, and an addition to the school at Wairoa. The following buildings were painted and generally renovated by the Board's workmen: Schools —Wanstead, Wallingford, Porangahau, Herbertville, Wimbledon, Weber, Awariki, Kiritaki, Dannevirke North, Norsewood, Ti-tree Point, Waitahora, Mangatoro, and Dannevirke South; residences— Wanstead, Wallingford, Porangahau, Herbertville, Wimbledon, Weber, Awariki, Kiritaki, and Dannevirke North. Owing to the increased cost of materials the Board's programme for the replacement of worn-out and out-of-date furniture had to be modified, but the Board endeavoured to deal with the most urgent requirements. I have, <fee., The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. G. F. Roach, Chairman.

WELLINGTON. Sir, — Education Board, Wellington, 31st March, 1918. 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 1917 :— Board. —The Board membership at the beginning of the year was the same as at the election of 1916, viz. : — Urban Areas : (1) Wellington City, and Boroughs of Karori, Onslow, and Miramar —Hon. J. G. W. Aitken, M.L.C. (Chairman), Messrs. William Allan, Thomas Forsyth, and R. A. Wright, M.P.; (2) Hutt and Petone —Messrs. G. T. London and E. P. Rishworth. 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,. Maekay. On the death of Mr. Alexander Maekay during the year Mr. R. McCallum. M.P., was elected to fill the resulting vacancy. The Board's Technical School representatives were unchanged. Schools and Attendance. —Ten small schools were closed and six were opened, so that at the end of the year there were in operation 251 schools, a decrease of four since the end of 1916. A side school was opened at Seatoun. The mean of the average roll and of the average attendance for the year was: Average roll—Boys, 12,601; .girls, 11,457: total, 24,058. Average attendance—Boys, 11,475; girls, 10,329: total, 21,804. The number on the roll at the end of the year was 24,360, compared with 23,726 at the end of 1916, an increase of 634. The average roll increased by 715 and the average attendance by 981. The average attendance was 906 per cent, of the average roll for the year. The regularity of attendance thus improved by I' 4 per cent., and but for prevalent sickness in the September quarter would have quite equalled that of 1915 (91 per cent.). The Board is of opinion that a legal penalty should be imposed on the unscrupulous employer who engages children still below the standard or age of exemption. Teaching Staff. —The following were the numbers of teachers, pupil-teachers, and probationers in the service of the Board at the end of the year :— ~ ,„ _ , Men. Women. Totals. Heads of schools ... ... ... ... 82 13 95 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... ... 22 135 157 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 50 322 372 Total adults ... ... ... ... 154 470 624 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... ... 15 38 53 169 508 677 Probationers ... ... ... ... ... 4 43 47 Totals, including pupil-teachers and protioners ...... ... ... 173 551 724 The corresponding total for 1916 was 722. A comparison of the numbers with those of 1913—the year preceding the war—shows that the proportion of male teachers (including probationers) has fallen from 322 per cent, to 239 per cent, of the whole number. Of forty pupil-teachers and probationers appointed since the end of 1917 only three were males, two other male applicants being rejected because they were unqualified. The present keen competition of both State Departments and commerce tends to divert from the teaching profession the most capable scholars as they leave our schools. Now, if it be admitted that the most precious possession of the State—its children—requires for their education the services of the most richly endowed with character and brains, it becomes evident that greater inducements must be offered if a sufficient supply is to be maintained of young teachers well equipped in both body and mind. Any advance in remuneration should certainly be to a minimum not less than that of entrance to the Civil Service. This point has been stressed in previous reports. The matter is now of extreme urgency. Instruction of Teachers.— The following were the arrangements of the year for instruction of teachers : (1.) Week-end classes in preparation for the certificate were held, as in previous years, at Wellington, Masterton, and Pahiatua. (2.) Marlborough: No Saturday classes were'held! but the correspondence course covering the "D" programme was continued, and at the end of the year the usual summer school was held in Blenheim, extending over a period of three weeks. Thirty teachers attended this course. (3.) A spring course in elementary agriculture, extending over a fortnight and held at Masterton District High School in September, was attended by forty-six teachers. Of these, a number attended in order to meet the requirements of the certificate in this subject; others, for general improvement in agriculture as a school subject. The course was characterized by an earnest spirit of work. Mr. Cockayne, of the Agricultural Department, rendered valued assistance in both lecture and field work. Training College.—A. full statement of the work of the year will be found in the report of the Principal. The following is a brief statement of the statistics of the institution : The total number of students was 120—14 men a7id 106 women. Six of the men obtained leave of absence in order to enlist. There were sixty-four first-year students and fifty-six second-year students classified thus—Division A, 114; B, 5; C, 0; D, 1. They came from : Wellington 45Wanganui, 25; Hawke's Bay, 16; Nelson, 15; Taranaki, 9;'Westland, 3; Grey 3- Canterbury, 2; Southland, 2. J ' '

Manual Instruction. —The following table shows in detail the subjects of manual instruction undertaken in recognized school classes, the number of schools represented, and the number of pupils under instruction :— „ , . t Number of Schools Number of ' represented.

The Inspectors record satisfactory progress in the teaching of elementary agriculture at the primary school, and the chief instructor finds that the increasing efficiency of the instruction in the primary school is reflected in a rising standard of work by pupils who undertake the rural course. Two district-high-school rural-course pupils have just been awarded an agricultural bursary which entitles them to continue their studies at Lincoln College, Canterbury. The Board considers the Minister has acted wisely in thus providing opportunity for advanced study with a view to the wider application of science to what must always be the leading industry of this country. In order to afford increased assistance in nature-study and elementary agriculture, the Board has lately engaged a third instructor in agriculture, who will spend part of his time in Marlborough. 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 1917 were : Carterton, 43; Eketahuna, 24; Greytown, 12; Hutt, 27; Levin, 43; Masterton, 85; Normal, 21; Pahiatua, 36; Petone, 55: total, 346. National Scholarships. —There were current at the end of 1917 twenty-nine Senior and thirtynine Junior Scholarships. On the 31st December, 1917, four Junior Scholarships expired. There were awarded on the results of the November-December examination, 1917, nine Senior and nineteen Junior Scholarships, and, in addition, two Agricultural Bursaries. Medical Inspection and Physical Instruction. —In relation to medical inspection and. physical instruction the Board notes with pleasure—(l.) The appointment of school nurses. (2.) The improvement of the condition of weak and defective children through corrective classes, and the treatment secured by the parent on the recommendation of the Inspector. It appears that 70 per cent, of the reported cases received the treatment required; this percentage may be expected to rise steadily as the benefit to the child is more fully recognized. (3.) The efforts of the Medical Inspector and the school staff to secure the sympathy and co-operation of the parent. Buildings. —During the year the Seaview School was removed to a position midway between Seaview and Starborough, thus serving the purposes of two districts. Additions were erected at Maranui and Deep Creek; and new buildings, in extension of existing buildings, were provided at Lansdowne (open air), Ohariu, Wadestown, and Pongaroa. Urgent works only have been carried out, but the increase of numbers in the vicinity of the city has been such as to compel the Board either to erect permanent buildings, or additions, or to make temporary arrangements. Increased accommodation is being provided at Levin and Upper Hutt, and a new school is under construction at Seatoun. Tenders have been called for increased accommodation at Island Bay and Maranui, and the plans of the main Normal School block at Kelburn are in preparation. Increased accommodation must be provided in the immediate future at the following schools : Bcrhampore, Muritai, Eastern Hutt, Masterton West (wdiere a site has been acquired), Lansdowne, Khandallah, and Plimmerton. Many works were again postponed because of the scarcity of labour and material and the consequent high cost. Such as were undertaken were carried out at greatly increased cost. The Board trusts that the Kelburn Normal School will this year reach completion. Wellington Technical, School. —The Board wishes to emphasize the opinion previously expressed that in the interests of healthy boyhood and girlhood and of sound education the present unfavourable conditions of accommodation for students, junior and senior, of the Wellington Technical College should be ended at the earliest possible moment. It earnestly trusts that, as a result of the consideration the matter is now receiving at the hands of the Government, the site universally approved by the people of Wellington may within the next few months be made available for the Technical College. School Libraries. —A number of subsidies were granted, but Committees generally have not fully availed themselves of the opportunity of providing at small cost interesting and instructive library reading-matter. The City Council has continued its successful and beneficial library scheme, which now embraces twenty-one city and suburban schools. To meet the growing requirements nearly six thousand volumes were procured. The Onslow and Karori Councils arranged with the city for supply to their schools, and the Board notes with pleasure the establishment of a children's library scheme by the Petone Borough Council. Thirty-three School Committees

E.—2.

applied for Government subsidy on local contributions totalling £1,076 lis. 3d. This large sum, with subsidy, has enabled the libraries to be enlarged in a number of schools and works of great benefit to the schools to be undertaken on well-considered plans. Aided Schools. —The Board approves the increased capitation allowed for settlers in isolated places. The problem of the education of the Sounds children is, however, not to be finally and effectively met by an increased capitation. The War. —During the year twenty-one members of the staff have undertaken military service. The Board records with mingled feelings of gratitude, pride, sympathy, and regret that since the issue of last report twelve members of its staff have laid down their lives. This makes a total of twenty-one. (For names see Appendix to E.-l.) As opportunity offered during the course of the year the Board promoted a number of teachers during their absence on military service. Patriotic effort in varied forms has engaged the attention of Committees, teaching staffs, and children in nearly the whole of our schools, a splendid spirit of willing enthusiasm having marked the workers. Film-censorship and Posters. —The Board records with regret the failure of its efforts to secure, in the interests of children, an adequate censorship of films. In this connection it considers that, also in the interests of the young, the citizens should, through effective official control, be enabled to veto the display on public hoardings and elsewhere of posters that seriously offend the moral and the artistic taste. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. G. W. Aitken, Chairman. » *

NELSON. Sir,— Nelson, 28th June, 1918. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, the Nelson Education Board has the honour to submit the following report of proceedings for the year 1917 : — The Board. —No change was made in the personnel of the Board during the year. The members are Messrs. G. H. Gothard (Chairman) 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. Twelve meetings were held during the year. With a view to reducing travelling-expenses of members arrangements were made from June to transact the business in eaoh month in one day, committee meetings being now held prior to the general meeting. Mr. F. W. 0. Smith continues to represent the Board on the Board of Governors of the Nelson College, and the Hon. A. T. Maginnity was the representative on the Victoria College University Council. The death of Mr. Maginnity early this year is much regretted. Mr. Maginnity was a member of the Board for many years and Chairman for three years, when his ability in connection with educational administration was well known throughout the district. Primary Schools. —The number of schools at the end of the year was 119, an increase of five, mostly household schools. There has not been any noticeable increase in the settlement of the district, though in the principal centres the number on the school rolls has shown advancement. District High Schools. —Secondary departments are in operation at Westport, Reefton, Motueka, and Takaka. With the exception of the Takaka District High School, the roll numbers have shown increases, especially at Westport. The Board has had under consideration during the year the question of disestablishing the W'estport District High School with a view to enlarging the scope of the Technical High School at that place. It is hoped that this proposal will bo brought into effect at an early date. Considering the circumstances now prevailing and the better inducements offered to teachers in secondary schools, the Board has been able to maintain a satisfactory staff in the secondary departments. An effort has been made to establish a rural course at the Takaka District High School. The local School Committee has,assisted the Board very materially in this matter, and approximately £200 has been raised in the district towards the. cost of the erection of a manual-training school, without which the carrying-on of a rural course would be impracticable. The manual-training school is now in course of erection, but the Board's efforts to obtain an assistant specially qualified to teach most of the subjects of the rural course have so far been unsuccessful. It is evident that the salary that can be offered to such a teacher is quite insufficient to attract a capable person. Scholarships. —No Education Board Scholarships are now held. Nine Junior National and four Senior National Scholarships were awarded to pupils in this district in 1917. Attendance. —The total number of children on the roll at the public schools at the end of the year was 6,859, and the average attendance for the year was 6,219, an increase of 310 for the year. The average attendance is the highest ever attained in the district, the percentage of attendance being 897. Buildings. —There are 116 buildings belonging to the Board. Sixteen schools are held in privately owned buildings. There are fifty-one teachers' residences. The only new work carried out during the year was an addition to the school at Riwaka. The school building at Inangahua Landing was destroyed by fire in June, and up to the present arrangements have not been made for rebuilding the school. The small school building at Newton Flat was removed during the year to Ariki, where a school has been opened this year. The Board was fortunate to meet the Minister in conference early in the year, when the position regarding the Building Fund was gone into. The need for more systematic, attention to repairs and maintenance and provision for rebuilding was stressed, with the result that the Board arranged with the Senior Inspector to prepare a schedule showing all building requirements set out in order of urgency. The schedule was adopted by the Board as the principal basis on which to plan for the repair and improvements

of buildings, hitherto School Committees being relied upon for the most part to bring under notice all such matters requiring- attention. A comparatively large sum has been expended on repairs and maintenance, but the Board has the satisfaction of knowing that the buildings are now being placed in a thorough state of repair, and at the same time more adequate provision is being made for future rebuilding. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The reports of the Directors of the Technical Schools at Nelson and Westport indicate the progress made at these institutions! The usefulness of the Nelson School was increased by providing for day and evening classes in engineering. With the limited accommodation available good work was done in this branch of instruction. The Board was also grateful for the Department's action in providing a grant for the extension of the workshops, which work has now been carried out. In the matter of accommodation for the Nelson Technical School, the whole of the school-site is now covered with buildings, and additional accommodation for the classes will become a serious matter. In this connection it is to be regretted that the Board has so far been unable to secure the use of a portion of the Provincial Grounds adjacent to the school, on which the buildings could be extended. At Westport excellent work is being accomplished in (lie Engineering School despite adverse conditions due to the war. At this centre, too, the question of increased school accommodation has to be faced should the institution have to continue to be carried on under present auspices. It is confidently hoped, however, that a Technical High School proper may be established at Westport in the near future. Technical classes are also conducted at Reeftou. It is proposed to place the Nelson School under a Board of Managers, provided local bodies and others will contribute to the support of the school. Manual training is capably provided for at the principal centres, and the itinerant instructor supervises the classes in agriculture and dairy-work. A large number of schools also took up instruction in swimming, physiology, &c. The expenses necessarily incurred in carrying on the manual-training classes have steadily increased, and the Board desires to represent the urgent need of providing increased capitation to cover the cost of running the classes. In this matter the Board has been fortunate in securing the co-operation of the other Boards. Finance. —The credit balance on all accounts at the end of the year was £2,101 14s. Bd., of which a sum of £550 was on fixed deposit. The improved position hoped for in the General Account has, unfortunately, not been secured. The decreased capitation due to the fall in the average attendance for 1916 is partly responsible. The Rebuilding Account has a credit balance of £6,755 18s. 3d. The heavy debit balance on the Relieving Teachers' Account has been reduced slightly, and the Board is grateful for the Department's recognition of the fact that an increased capitation grant is required in order to place the account in a better position. I have, &c, Geo. H. Gotiiard, Chairman The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

CANTERBURY. Sir,— Christchurch, 31st March, 1918. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of Canterbury for the year ended 31st December, 1917 : — The Board. —As the Education Act of 1914 provides for an election of members and Chairman every second year only, no election was held during 1917, and there is consequently no change in the membership, which is as follows: Christchurch Urban Area —Messrs. C. H. Opie (Chairman of the Board), E. 11. Andrews, J. Jamieson, A. Pcverill; Timaru Urban Area —Messrs. C. S. Howard, J. Maze; North-west Ward —Messrs. H. J. Bignell, J. Grimmond; Middle Ward —Messrs. W. A. Banks, T. W. Adams; South Ward—Messrs. G. W. Armitage, W. M. Hamilton. The following standing committees were elected at the annual meeting of the Board in August, the Chairman of the Board being ex officio member of each committee: Agriculture —Messrs. T. W. Adams, W. A. Banks (Chairman), 11. J. Bignell, J. Grimmond, W. M. Hamilton, C. S. Howard, J. Maze; Appointments—Messrs. T. W. Adams, E. H. Andrews (Chairman), H. J. Bignell, W. M. Hamilton, C. S. Howard; Buildings—Messrs. G. W. Armitage, W. A. Banks, J. Grimmond, J. Jamieson (Chairman), J. Maze, A. Peverill; Finance —Messrs. E. H. Andrews, G. W. Armitage (Chairman), W. A. Banks, H. J. Bignell, J. Grimmond, A. Pcverill. Constitution, of District. —It is felt that under the existing provision for the division of the Canterbury Education District the representation of the various wards is not satisfactory. After careful consideration the Board has recommended the Government to amend the Act so as to give eight representatives to the rural area, in accordance with the report adopted by the General Council of Education at its sitting in September, 1916. Under such provision both the West Coast and North Canterbury would receive equitable representation. The Board is informed that the Minister has caused the necessary amendments to be prepared for consideration by Parliament at the first opportunity. Board's Representatives. —At the end of the year 1917 the Board's representatives on the several High School Boards and Boards of Managers of Technical Classes were as follows : High School Boards —Akaroa, Messrs. W. K. Virtue, R. Latter; Ashburton, Messrs. J. Tucker, W. B. Denshire; Greymouth, Mr. W. R. Kettle; Hokitika, Mr. H. Michel; Rangiora, Messrs. H. Boyd, W. A. Banks; Timaru, Mr. C. S. Howard; Waimate, Messrs. W. Lindsay, W. M. Hamilton. Boards of Managers of Technical Classes—Christchurch, Messrs. C. H. Opie, M. Dalziel, S. C. Owen; Banks Peninsula (Akaroa), Mr. J. D. Bruce; Ashburton, Messrs. J. Tucker, G. W. Andrews; Kaiapoi, Messrs. J. H. Blackwell, T. Douds; Timaru, Messrs. G. J. Seal}', J. G. Gow; Temuka, Messrs. D. Mclnnes, G. Thompson; Waimate, Messrs. T. W. Manchester, E. Hassall; Fairlie, Mr. T. Foden; Pleasant Point, Mr. J. Maze.

By-laws.—ln May, 1917, the Board held a special meeting lor the purpose of revising its by-laws. These have now been compiled in pamphlet form and issued to Committees and teachers. Board Offices.— Since the present Board was constituted in 1916 there has been a considerable increase in the Board's staff, owing to the larger area administered, and developments in agricultural and manual and technical instruction; consequently the office accommodation available in the Normal School buildings was found insufficient. In view of this, and the Training College requiring more accommodation owing to increase in numbers of students, arrangements have been made, to lease for a period of fifteen years central offices in Oxford Terrace. The new offices, which have been planned to meet the Board's requirements, will enable the whole of the Board s staff to be accommodated in one building, and this central position should prove a great convenience not only to the staff, but to teachers, Committees, and others haying business transactions with the Board. Buildings—New schools were erected at Cameron's, Huntingdon, Mount Ncssing, Sherwood Downs, and Whiterock; arrangements were made for the building of new schools at Lagmhor and Parnassus; and schools were rebuilt at Methven, Mikonui, and Paroa. Additions were authorized to the schools at Beckcnham, Cashmere, Clandeboye, Fairton, Shirley, Somerfield, and Sutherland's, and at date of this report, with the exception of Fairton, are either finished or nearing completion. The teacher's residence at Milford was rebuilt, and a small residence erected at Waitaha. Considerable improvements were effected at the Normal School, where complete and up-to-date outbuildings have been provided. The school building at Rangatira Valley was removed to Winchester Settlement, and opened under the name of Te Awa. Extensive alterations were carried out at the Halswell School, and temporary class-rooms were erected at Christchurch West to provide for increased attendance. At the new Methven School an open-air class-room was built in accordance with the plan approved by the Medical Inspector of Schools, and steps are being taken to erect a detached open-air class-room at the Waimataitai School, Timaru. Since the close of the year the Department has granted the Board's application for a contribution towards the erection of a complete new school in brick at Ashburton, and the rebuilding in brick of three rooms at St. Albans and four rooms at Sydenham. The Board's thanks are due to Mr. H. Friedlander for his generous gift of £1,000 towards the rebuilding of the Ashburton School. The urgent need of improving the school buildings at the Chatham Islands was brought under the notice of the Department, and it is hoped that a grant for this purpose will be made at the close of the war. The Board is arranging for the carrying-out at once of the most urgent repairs, In the case of fifty school buildings, a sum of £50 or over was expended either on repairs, renovations, or furniture, or on improvements to school-grounds. Owing to the high cost of paintingmaterial, the Board is carrying out painting of buildings only in urgent cases. _ A of hall an acre has been purchased in Moorhouse Avenue for the erection of workshops in Christchurch to be used in connection with the manufacture of school furniture and ordinary repair work. Finance.— From the statement of receipts and expenditure it will be noticed that, as regards the General Account and Rebuilding Account, the financial position of (lie Board has improved considerably during the past year. In order to make provision for the rebuilding of worn-out schools it was decided at the beginning of the year to set apart 40 per cent, of the building grant for this purpose, the money being placed on fixed deposit. For a long time past the Board has desired that the Department should divide the building grant into separate amounts for rebuilding and maintenance of buildings. In October the Department decided Io do this, and from the Ist November separate grants have been paid. It is worthy of notice that the amount allotted by the Department is almost the same as that approved by the Board earlier m the year. Owing to the rapidly increasing cost of building the Board has had great, difficulty m keeping the cost ot new works near the amount of the special Government grant for the purpose. In many cases the cost has considerably exceeded the grant, in which connection, however, the Minister has intimated his willingness to make such adjustments of special grants as may be reasonable and equitable, having regard to the rapid increase in the cost of building. Schools.— The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including thirty-one aided schools but excluding eight side schools, were 376, classified as follows: Grade 0 15; Grade I 100; Grade 11, 98; Grade 111, 108; Grade IV, 23; Grade V, 12; Grade VI, 5; Grade VII 11; Grade VHe, 4: total, 376. During the year schools were opened at Sherwood Downs Te'Awa, and Waipara, and household schools al Lyttelton Heads and Waikcrikikeri. The schools' at Flea Bay, Four Peaks, Kaimata, Skipton, Taipo, Tormore, and Westbrook were closed. The undermentioned table shows the number of schools at the end of the year of each decade given, and at the end of the year 1917, also the number of children on the rolls, the approximate number in average attendance, and the percentages of attendance : —

Maintenance. —The total expenditure on primary salaries for the year 1917, including £3,510 12s. lid. house allowances, £734 4s. for relieving teachers, and £4,633 6s. sd. (halfyearly instalment) war bonuses, was £165,430 12s. lid. The salaries paid to teachers in secondary departments amounted to £6,565 Bs. sd. The following table shows the .expenditure on salaries and incidentals for each year mentioned :—

School Staffs. —There were 996 teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1917. Of these, 379 (161 males and 218 females) were head teachers or in sole charge, 491 (81 males and 410 females) were assistants, and 126 (27 males and 99 females) were pupil-teachers. There were in addition 77 (5 males and 72 females) probationers, and 28 sewing mistresses in small schools in charge of male teachers. Organizing Teachers. —A committee of the Board was set up to consider the advisability of the appointment of travelling Inspectors or teachers to assist in organizing the work of the smaller schools, especially those in charge of uncertificated teachers. In accordance with the recommendation of this committee the Board made application to the Department for the salary of an organizing teacher. In its reply the Department stated that there was no authority for the appointment of such teachers, but that as soon as the necessary amendment could be made steps would be taken to provide assistance for sole-charge schools. War legislation Amendment Act, 1917. —Under this Act regulations were issued providing for the reduction in the staff of a school at the end of any quarter should the attendance for the preceding quarters have fallen to certain stated numbers. In some grades of schools the action of the earlier regulations was rather drastic, and it is pleasing to note that, after representations had been made to the Department by the Board, the regulations were amended in the direction asked. Conveyance and Board of Children. —The expenditure for the conveyance of children to school and board of children living a long distance from school was £3,257. Conveyance allowance was paid in respect of 735 children, and boarding-allowance for forty-six children. The Board is of opinion that the allowance for conveyance should be increased, and that children riding horses and bicycles should not be excluded. Incidental Expenses of Schools. —ln the last report reference was made to the insufficiency of the incidental allowances paid to School Committees, particularly in view of the present high prices of labour, material, fuel, &o. The Board is glad to know that Parliament realized the urgent need of giving some help to Committees, and made a special grant equivalent to approximately Is. per pupil in average attendance. Scholarships. —The number of candidates for Junior National Scholarships was 507— girls, 231; boys, 276. Of these, forty-three qualified—twenty girls and twenty-three boys. Three successful candidates had been attending sole-charge schools, fifteen had been attending large primary schools, and twenty-live had been attending district high schools and secondary schools. For the Senior Scholarships there were 113 candidates —girls, 55; boys, 58. Of these, eighteen qualified—eight girls and ten boys. For the two Gammack Scholarships there were nineteen candidates. Irregular Attendance. —The Truant Officer reports that during the year notices were sent out to 2,551 parents and guardians regarding irregular attendance of their children at school. In 106 cases summonses were issued, and in sixty-two cases fines were inflicted. Owing to the absence of serious epidemics the attendance has been better than during the previous two years. Training College. —Fifty-four students were admitted at the beginning of the year, making the total enrolment 110, of whom fifty-six were second-year students. Owing, however, to enlistments for active service, and to the retirement of three women students, the total number in attendance at the end of year was reduced to 100. Towards the close of the year Mr. T. S. Foster was compelled, owing to illness, to temporarily relinquish his duties as Principal of the Training College. During Mr. Foster's absence Mr. C. T. Aschman, headmaster, will act as Principal, while Mr. J. E. Purchase, assistant lecturer, will take the lectures on education at Canterbury College. The Board has so repeatedly stressed the need of a new training college that it seems scarcely necefssary to again refer to a matter the urgency of which the Minister himself has already recognized. Manual and Technical Instruction. —The Board has devoted a good deal of attention during the year to classes for manual and technical instruction, and, generally speaking, the work has received a big impetus, although it will take some time before this large and newly constituted district can be brought into one harmonious whole. Owing to war conditions, some difficulty was experienced in providing the material and apparatus required for schools taking elementary handwork, but the best was done under the circumstances, and the smaller schools in the remoter parts of the district were as liberally treated as those in the larger centres. Elementary handwork

was taken up at 379 schools by 27,352 pupils. Considerable extension has taken place in regard to advanced handwork; there are now twenty-two manual-training centres where pupils are taught woodwork, cookery, and domestic economy. A new manual-training centre was established at Geraldine, and the new rooms at Oxford proved a great convenience. Manual-training centres were re-established at Greymouth and Hokitika. Swimming and life-saving received due attention during the year; seventy-five classes were established, with an attendance of over a thousand pupils. Rural courses of instruction were carried out at ten district high schools in the district. War conditions generally affected the attendances at technical and continuation classes, especially in the country districts. Courses of instruction, however, were carried on at the following technical schools : Waimate, Temuka, Timaru, Geraldine, Ashburton, Greymouth, Kaiapoi, and Hokitika; whilst individual technical and continuation classes have been carried on at Fairlie, Blackball, Kaikoura, Akaroa, Doyleston, Leeston, and Lakeside. Teachers' classes have been carried on at Christchurch, Timaru, and Greymouth; these classes have been well attended, and the instruction given has been much appreciated. Although much has been done, much more remains to be done, and, profiting by the experience of the past year's work, the Board hopes to considerably extend the manual and technical work during the incoming year. Agriculture. —There has been a material increase in the interest taken in agriculture, and the schools in North Canterbury have been graded according to the quality of the work done. Mr. McFarlane, of Springburn, generously donated a shield to be awarded to the school making the most progress during any year, and this year the shield has been won by the Carleton School. The War. —During the year 1917 twenty-four teachers and seven Training College students have joined the Expeditionary Forces, making a total since the outbreak of war of 109 (eighty-two teachers, twenty-five students, and two members of the office staff). I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. C. H. Opie, Chairman.

probationers. Of these sixty-one young people, no less than thirty-two had passed the Matriculation Examination, while twenty-six had passed the Intermediate or the Public Service Entrance Examination. Only three had no higher examination status than the Proficiency Examination. Attendance of Pupils. —The mean of the average roll, average of attendance, and percentage of average attendance for the year were: Average roll, 22,128; average attendance, 20,479; percentage, 925. The increase in the mean roll number over that of the previous year was 248, while the increase in the average attendance was 242. The average attendance (20,479) is the highest ever attained in this district. The percentage of attendance (925) lias only once been exceeded—viz., in the year 1914, when it reached 927 per cent. The following table shows for each twenty years since the institution of the Otago education scheme in 1856, and for the year just closed, the number of schools, the number of teachers, the number on the rolls, and the average attendance: —

Classification. —The pupils of the public schools classified according to standards as at the 31st December, 1917, were: Class P, 7,219 (326 per cent.); Standard 1, 3,039 (137 per cent.); Standard 11, 2,830 (127 per cent,); Standard 111, 2,775 (12-5 per cent,); Standard TV, 2,579 (116 per cent.); Standard V, 2,132 (96 per cent.); Standard VI, 1,555 (7 per cent.); Standard VII (exclusive of secondary pupils of district high schools), 78 (o'3 per cent.) : total, 22,207. Junior and. Senior National -Scholarships. —For the Junior Scholarships there were 259 competitors, of whom three from schools with not more than one teacher gained between 53£ and 63t| per cent, of marks. Forty-three competitors reached the ordinary standard of qualification (633; per cent,). There were-thus forty-six Junior Scholarships awarded to pupils in this district, as against thirty-three in the previous year : that is, 17*7 per cent, of the competitors were successful last year, as compared with 125 per cent, in 1916. The number of pupils in Standard VI at the time the examination was held was 1,555, and 259, or 166 per cent., contested the examination. For the Senior Scholarships there were seventy-four competitors, of whom twenty-three gained the qualifying percentage of marks (63 per cent,) : that is, 31 per cent, were successful, as against 1.6-5 per cent, in the previous year. It is noteworthy that thirteen out of the twenty-three scholarships awarded were taken by pupils of the secondary departments of the Board's district high schools—viz., Balclutha, 5; Normal, 4; Lawrence, 2; Mosgiel, 2. Of the ninety-eight scholarships current at the end of the year sixty were Junior National, twenty-nine were Senior National, five were Junior Board, and four were Senior Board. Twenty-five were held by girls and seventy-three by lads. The Principals of the secondary schools the holders attended reported that, almost without exception, their conduct, diligence, and progress were satisfactory. District High Schools. —[Sec E.-6, Report on Secondary Education..] Agricultural Instruction. —During the past 3'ear elementary agricultural instruction has, under the supervision of the Board's instructors in agriculture, been associated with the other subjects of the curriculum in 196 schools, and in many of these very effective work is being done, In six of the district high schools the full rural science course has been followed. In these schools the permeation of the ordinary subjects with agricultural sciences paves the way for an intelligent appreciation of the principles upon which the best practice of the art of agriculture is based. Swimming. —Pupils from thirty-one schools participated in the instruction, the average attendance being 786 boys and 697 girls, The cost of the classes was £198 17s. 7d., while the amount of Government capitation earned was £187 10s. Training College. —The total number of students enrolled was 117, comprising 97 women and 20 men. The education districts represented were: Otago, 70; Southland, 28; Canterbury, 18; Wanganui, 1, The allowances paid to them or on their behalf were: Bursaries, lodging-allowances, and travelling-expenses, £6,094 18s. 6d.; College fees, £962 12s. : total, £7,057 10s. 6d, —or £162 18s. 6d. less than in the previous 3^car. Truancy. —The Board's Truant Officer served 434 notices on parents and guardians for infringements of the Education Act, 1914, while 186 cases of irregular attendance were investigated by him. Penalty summonses to the number of forty-two were issued under section 62 of the Act. Forty convictions were obtained and two cases were withdrawn—one by doctor's certificate, and one owing to the child concerned being committed to the industrial school. The fines inflicted and the costs awarded amounted to £21 18s. 2d. In Dunedin and suburbs 146 pupils in classes below Standard VI terminated their school course in December, 1917. Of this number four had passed Standard 11, twenty-three had passed Standard 111, thirty-eight had passed Standard IV, and eighty-one had passed Standard V. All the pupils in question had reached the exemption age —viz., fourteen years.

School Libraries. —During the past year the question of providing increased reading-matter for our pupils and of stimulating interest in school libraries received special consideration. The returns furnished at the request of the Board from different schools that have installed libraries show that the books are much appreciated and eagerly sought by the young people, especially in those schools where the teachers show enthusiasm for this branch of education. In order to secure increased facilities for our boys and girls obtaining a wider range of carefully selected books, and to augment those at present in our libraries, several conferences were held with the managers of the Dunedin Free Public Library. As a result they have generously agreed to inaugurate a system of travelling libraries in connection with their juvenile department, and, as an experiment, will next year loan fifty to sixty books per week to each standard from the Fourth to the Sixth in four of our city schools. The Board is assured that, if this scheme works out satisfactorily, it will subsequently be extended to all our city schools. The Board also hoped to arouse increased interest in libraries in country schools, and to do something more to meet the urgent needs of children in the backblocks, and extremely regrets that so few grants for libraries were applied for during the year. Pupil-teachers, Probationers, and Training College Students. —The Board expresses its profound disappointment that the Minister has not yet been able to adopt the recommendation made with practical unanimity by the educational bodies throughout the Dominion, and systematically supported by this Board for some years past, for an increase in the salaries and allowances of pupil-teachers, probationers, and Training College students, so as to make them at least equal to the rates paid to other public servants with corresponding service. The whole scale of payments to these teachers requires to be recast forthwith on more liberal lines. This is a reform which brooks no delay. Grade 0 Schools. —The Board notes with appreciation that the capitation grants for these schools have been increased to £8 per head. This will give much-needed relief to struggling schools, and help to secure for them more efficient teachers. Salaries of Temporary Teachers. —The Board expresses its regret that the Minister, by powers conferred upon him by regulation, has seen fit to reduce the rates of salaries proposed by the Board to be paid to certain temporary teachers. The Board holds that all such teachers whose character and competency are attested are entitled to receive the rates of salary provided by statute for the grades of position they occupy, and that it is inequitable they should be obliged to agree to a decrease in their salaries, in some cases of £20 per annum, or forfeit the appointment. In apportioning salaries to' temporary teachers the Board has not departed from the statutory scale, and the onus of reducing the salaries of these teachers must therefore rest upon the Minister. . Certificates. —The number of pupils of the public schools examined for proficiency certificates was 1,631, of whom 1,275 (or 78 per cent.) gained the certificate, while 212 (or 13 per cent.) were granted certificates of competency of Standard VI. Inspection of Schools. —The Inspectors' estimate of the efficiency of the schools is as follows : Excellent or very good, 26 per cent.; good, 41 per cent.; satisfactory, 28 per cent, ; fair to inferior, 5 per cent. Buildings. —Considerable difficulty has been experienced during the past year in obtaining the necessary building-material, some lines being almost unprocurable, while the prices for all, as well as for labour, have been extremely high. Under such circumstances only necessary work could be undertaken. As a result the buildings have been allowed to stand a little longer before being repainted, but an honest attempt has been made to do all work where delay would be doubtful economy. A new school has been erected at Tawanui. An unused class-room was removed from Chaslands and erected to provide a school at Papatowai. The Tokarahi buildings were altered and added to, the additions providing an extra class-room for the school and two rooms for the residence. A room was removed from the old St. Clair building and erected as an additional class-room at the Maoandrew Road School. A residence was erected for the teacher at Otekaike, and a small cottage at Poolburn, An addition was made to the janitor's cottage at Kensington. During the year a' good deal has also been done in the way of renewing outhouses, repairing and renewing fences, and asphalting school-grounds. The, War — Roll of Honour. —Since the issue of the last report fifteen teachers and Training College students have proceeded on active service, the total number of the Board's employees who have joined the Expeditionary Forces to date being ninety-nine. (See Appendix to E.-l for names and for casualties.) I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. D. T. Fleming, Chairman.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 21st March, 1918. In compliance with the provisions 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 ended 31st December, 191 7 : — Board. —At the beginning of the the membership of the Board was as follows: Invercargill Urban Area representatives—Messrs. D. Gilchrist (Chairman) and G. T. Stevens; West Ward representatives—Messrs. J. Findlay and J. C. Thomson, M.P. ; East Ward representatives Messrs. J. Mac Gibbon and TI. E. Niven ; Central Ward representative—Mr. P. A. de la Perrelle. In the month of January an election was held to fill the extraordinary vacancy caused by the

resignation of Mr. Amos, one of the representatives for the Central Ward. The polling resulted in the election of Mr. J. D. Trotter, The Board's representatives" on the various educational bodies are as follows : Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools' Board—Messrs. G. T. Stevens and J. C. Thomson; Board of Management of the Southland Technical College—Messrs. H. E. Niven, P. A. de la Perrelle, G, T. Stevens, J. C. Thomson, M.P., and A. L. Wvllie, M.A.; Gore High School Board—Messrs. 1), Gilchrist, J. Mac Gibbon, and H. E. Niven;'Training College Committee of Advice—Mr. G. T. Stevens; Otago University Council—Hon. T. Mac Gibbon, M.L.C. Schools. —At the close of 1916 there were 182 schools in operation. During the year to which this report refers new schools were opened at East Limehills, Happy Valley, Etalvale'(ii), Kinloch, and Glenham (sawmill). Thus at the end of 1917 there were 187 under the jurisdiction of this Board. Applications for the establishment of new schools at Pukemaori, Waiparu, Rakahouka, and Paradise (household) were dealt with during the year. Demonstration Schools. —ln view of the fact that there are in this district a large number of uncertificated teachers, many of whom have had no previous experience in the management of a school, the Board again urges upon the Minister the need for the establishment of one or two demonstration schools in this district, where the inexperienced teacher will have an opportunity of observing the work of experienced teachers. Under present conditions the necessary experience is gained mainly at the expense of the pupils. Attendance. —The following table shows the number of schools, the number of children on the rolls, the number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance for the past five years:—

From the above table it will be seen that the attendance has been well maintained, although there was an abnormal amount of sickness amongst the pupils during the first six months of the year. To the Truant Officer for his untiring efforts to improve the attendance in this district credit is due. As pointed out in last year's report, a regulation of the Board requires teachers to furnish, on a form provided for the purpose, a monthly statement of the attendance at each school, together with the names of defaulters; yet the monthly report of the Truant Officer invariably contains the names of from twelve to twenty teachers who fail to comply with it. When it is remembered that this regulation was framed partly for the benefit of teachers, one cannot understand the reason for the apparent indifference to their own interests as well as the welfare of the pupils. The Truant Officer in his annual report to the Board states that he sent out 333 notices to defaulters, issued 102 summonses, and secured 64 convictions. The amount of fines inflicted was £15 12s. Teachers. —On the 31st December, 1917, there were in the Board's service 431 teachers. The following table will show the distribution of the teaching staff in the schools under the control of the Board :— Male. Female. Total. Head teachers ... .. ... ... 51 23 74 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... 35 76 111 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 16 136 152 Total adult teachers ... ... ... 102 235 337 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... 5 33 38 Probationers ... ... ... •• 6 21 27 Teachers of needlework ... ... ... ... 22 22 Manual and technical teachers ... ... .. 3 4 7 Totals 116 315 431 Of the 337 adult primary-school teachers in the service of the Board 207 held teachers' certificates, five held licenses to teach, while the number of uncertificated teachers was 125. The staffing of our schools by qualified teachers, more especially in localities removed from centres of population, is becoming an increasingly difficult problem. It was anticipated that with the increased facilities for admission to training colleges the output of qualified teachers would have been augmented to such an extent as to obviate in large measure the necessity for appointing applicants with little or no previous teaching experience. This anticipation has not so far been realized in any appreciable degree. It must not be understood, however, that the Board is altogether dissatisfied with the work of its uncertificated teachers; on the contrary, the Inspectors report that some of the recently appointed uncertificated teachers give promise of becoming useful

members of the teaching profession. During the year the Board informed several uncertificated teachers who have been in the service several years that, unless they succeeded in passing some part of the Teachers' D Examination at the first opportunity, the question of terminating their engagement as teachers under the Board would be considered. For some years past this Education Board, in common with most other Education Boards in the Dominion, has experienced great difficulty in obtaining the services of male pupil-teachers. The reason for this state of affairs is plain. To induce our youths to enter the teaching profession the monetary inducements offered should be increased, otherwise they will seek more lucrative spheres of employment. Instruction of Teachers. —During the year Saturday classes for the training of teachers were carried on for a period of twenty-six weeks. The subjects of instruction and the numbers of students in each subject were as follows : Drawing (three classes), 87; vocal music (two classes), 46; needlework (two classes), 54; agriculture (two classes), 37; mathematics, 13; English, 16; cardboard work, 30; school method, 19; hygiene (three classes), 89; elocution, 12. In addition a class in drawing for town pupil-teachers and probationers met on two afternoons a week for a period of thirty-eight weeks, the roll number being thirty-two. The attendance of students was in nearly all cases very satisfactory, and the results of the examinations conducted by the instructors indicated that with only a few exceptions the students had been doing their best to profit by the instruction provided. As regards those teachers who, in consequence of the remoteness of their schools, were unable to attend Saturday classes, and who were dependent therefore upon instruction by correspondence, eight intimated their intention to take advantage of the assistance granted by the Department to correspondence students. Scholarships. —The annual examination of candidates for Junior National and Senior National Scholarships took place in November. For the Junior National Scholarship Examination there were 101 candidates, three more than in 1916, and for the Senior forty-two candidates, seven less than in 1916. Nineteen Junior Scholarships and three Senior Scholarships were awarded. The amount disbursed during the year in respect of scholarships was £908 Bs. 4d. Medical Inspection. —During the year the Department's Medical Inspector of Schools, accompanied by the Department's school nurse, visited the larger schools in this district and medically examined the pupils of Standard 11. The Board trusts that the day is not far distant when the Medical Inspector will be able to visit every school and examine all the children, especially those in the remote parts of the district. In one or two cases the Inspector visited schools when an epidemic was prevalent and examined every child. Physical Instruction. —During the months of January and September the Department's physical instructors visited Tnvercargill and conducted classes in physical training. Practically the whole of the Board's teaching staff has now had a course of physical training. The Inspectors report that physical instruction is given regularly, especially in regard to deep breathing and free exercises. Most of the Board's teachers are taking up this branch of instruction with marked earnestness, and the Board is convinced that physical training in conjunction with the medical inspection of schools will be of incalculable benefit to the present generation of school-children. Conveyance and Boarding-allowance. —During the year the sum of £1,645 lis. 6d. was paid under this head, an increase of £300 as compared with last year's payments. Again the Board draws the Department's attention to the injustice of excluding the riding of horses and bicycles from, the means of conveyance on account of which the allowance will be made. Under the present regulation the Department allows only half-rates for the conveyance of children between five years and seven years of age, the other half being paid by the Board out of its general fund. The Board is strongly of the opinion that the full allowance should be paid by the Department in all cases, especially in view of the fact that if parents did not avail themselves of this provision for educating their children the Department would in all probability be called upon to establish additional schools. Subsidies on Voluntary Contributions. —During the year several School Committees took advantage of the regulations regarding the pa)unent of subsidies on voluntary contributions. Under these regulations these Committees were enabled to supplement their allowances for incidental expenses, and thus secure assistance towards the cost of improvements to school-grounds, establishment of school libraries, &c. Certificates. —806 pupils were presented for examination in the subjects of the Sixth Standard. Of these, 529 gained proficiency certificates; 142 gained competency certificates; while 135 failed —percentages of 655, 17*5, and 17 respectively. Board's Regulations. —ln consequence of the coming into operation of the Education Act, 1914, the Board found it necessary to revise its regulations, the compilation of which entailed much thought and careful consideration on the part of the Board members and officials. School Committees. —Once again the Board desires to place on record its hearty appreciation of the manner in which the majority of School Committees continue to co-operate with it in the administration of educational matters in this district. During the year the incidental allowances paid to School Committees have totalled £4,028 10s., a, sum of £476 in excess of the amount paid to the Board by the Department. The increased amount has been paid to schools up to and including Grade 111. In addition to the above-stated amount, the Board is pleased to announce that the Department has authorized a supplementary grant for School Committees' incidental expenses during the period of the war. This additional payment will be made along with the ordinary quarterly allowance in March of the current year. In view of the great increase in the cost of fuel and cleaning the additional grant will be welcomed by School Committees, especially those in the backblocks, who have not the opportunity of augmenting their funds by means of concerts, &c.

XVIII

Appendix A.J E.—2. The War. —During the year fifteen members of the teaching profession have enlisted to assist the Home-land and her Allies in the dread conflict. Some have been wounded, and two have made the great sacrifice. The Board is pleased to place on record its hearty appreciation of the untiring efforts of the school-children in providing comforts for the wounded soldiers and in raising money for the various patriotic funds. Buildings. —The Board has continued its policy of erecting new or adding to existing buildings and in effecting repairs with its own staff of workmen. With a completely equipped workshop, ample yard accommodation for seasoning timber, and an efficient staff, it has been found that the work now undertaken is infinitely more satisfactory in its results than under the old contract system. A new school has been erected at East Limehills, and additions have been built to schools at Invercargill Middle, Fernhills, Seaward Downs, Mimihau, and to the Springhills residence, and the reinstatement of the old Myross Bush School has been completed. Works now in hand are the erection of a manual-training centre in Don Street (the Tay Street centre being required for the extension of the Technical High School); a new school at Waimatua; the reinstatement of the school at Slope Point (destroyed by fire); and additions to the schools at Waihopai, Gore, Waimumu, and Clifden. Dual desks have been manufactured and installed in several of the town and country schools, and this work will be gradually extended as funds permit. The increased cost of painting-material has rendered it incumbent on the Board to hold over the painting of the interiors of certain schools requiring renovation, but the periodical overhaul of the exteriors has not been neglected, and the buildings are all in fairly good order considering their age. I have, &c, Duncan Gilchrist, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.

APPENDIX B. ABRIDGED REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, 1917. AUCKLAND. «IR,— Auckland, 30th March, 1918. We have the honour to submit our annual report for the year 1917 on the public primary schools of the Auckland Education District, and on those private schools, practically all of which are registered, whose inspection was undertaken by the Department. At the close of the year the number of public schools in operation was 641, an increase of eleven on the previous year. In addition to the public schools, thirty-one Roman Catholic diocesan schools and twelve 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 Annual Roll. Examination.

The total enrolment in the Roman Catholic diocesan schools was 4,248, of whom 4,024 were present at the annual examination. In the case of the other private schools the numbers were respectively 1,009 and 962. In the course of the year-, but chiefly during the months of November and December, 2,440 certificates of proficiency and 479 certificates of competency in the work of S6 were awarded to the pupils from the public schools, as well as 186 certificates of proficiency and 55 certificates of competency in the work of S6 to pupils from private schools. A few of the holders of competency certificates in the work of S6 applied to have their certificates endorsed, in most cases with success. The great majority of the schools were visited twice during the year. The demands of duties elsewhere, and the absence of teachers when Inspectors happened to be in the neighbourhood of th6ir schools, prevented our paying two visits in every case. We have repeatedly drawn attention to the difficulty of adequately carrying out the work of inspection in this large district, with its expanding settlement and lack of travelling facilities. We realize the difficulties in the way of providing the additional assistance required in view of present conditions, but we feel that the matter is so important that further and favourable consideration should no longer be deferred. In common with other districts, ours has suffered severely since the outbreak of war, a large number of teachers having enlisted for active service, and we are now obliged to employ many untrained and inexperienced men and women whose efforts need constant supervision and guidance. The relatively large number of schools each Inspector is obliged to include in his special area makes it impossible for him to prolong visits where this becomes necessary, and hence many of the visits which should extend over several days are disposed of in a few hours. In the case of the more efficient schools visits of inspection might well be omitted during one or more years without any risk to the service were it not for the operation of trading regulations and requirements. The former rightly insist on the claims of all teachers being considered annually, and to do this with such justice and thoroughness as the importance of the work demands it is highly desirable, if not absolutely necessary, that each teacher be seen at work between successive gradings. Inspectors cannot, therefore, gam time for assisting those most in need of help by the omission of visits where assistance is not so greatly need Many of the remarks made in former reports on the teaching of and progress in the various subjects of instruction apply with slight modifications to conditions obtaining during the year under review Tn view of'the very serious difficulty so frequently presented of obtaining a supply of moderately efficient teachers, we have reason to be satisfied with the general progress throughout the district. i—E. 2 (Apn.

The efforts of practically all teachers have been put forth with a full consciousness of the importance of the duties they are called on to discharge, work has been characterized by earnest endeavour, and modern developments have found appreciative and intelligent followers.

TARANAKI. SlR >— New Plymouth, 2nd March, 1918. We have the honour to submit the 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 156, including two half-time schools. Of this number, eighty-two were in charge of sole teachers. The private schools inspected number thirteen, with a total roll of 1,161. Inspection. —With hardly any exception the schools, both public and private, received two visits during the year, and it was very seldom that two schools were visited on the same day. For the greater part of the year the services of a third Inspector were available. There was thereby provided an opportunity to carry out the duties of the Inspectors with greater completeness and efficiency than was possible during the previous year. Conditions: —The average attendance for the year, based on the average roll number, was 883 per cent. Although this percentage compares favourably with that of other districts during the previous year, there is need in some localities for greater insistence on the necessity for fuller attendance. A certain amount of irregularity is duo to war conditions, as there is a tendency to make use of the older pupils on the farms to the detriment of school attendance. There are some instances of the overwork of children in connection with the dairy industry, and these demand their protection in some way from the ill-considered action of the parents. Generally, however, the conditions in this, respect are good. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a supply of suitable teachers to take charge of small schools and to fill positions as assistants of the lowest grade. In a number of cases applicants with practically no experience have perforce been accepted. Of the head and sole teachers and assistants 110, or 39 per cent., arc uncertificated, and many of these have had no previous training as pupil-teachers or probationers. Satisfactory arrangements have been made for supplying substitutes for teachers absent on war service. Assistance to teachers desiring to qualify for certificates has been continued. Special aid to inexperienced teachers in the small schools has been provided by the issue of specimen schemes and of specimen term tests. Such assistance has met with wide appreciation. A promising feature in connection with the future supply of teachers is that the Board was able to fill practically all the vacancies for pupilteachers and probationers from applicants that had attended at least three years in a secondary school. Efficiency. —We have again to report that the efficiency of the schools is creditable to the teaching staff of the district. Only occasionally is slackness or inferior work evident, and in some instances at least this is due to lack of experience on the part of the teacher. Of the 155 schools, three were recorded as excellent, thirty-one as very good, forty-two as good, sixty as satisfactory or very satisfactory, sixteen as fair or very fair, and only three as weak. Commendable results were obtained by the private schools, the teachers of which continue to take a keen interest in the welfare of their pupils. Standard Vl. —The number of pupils presented for inspection in S6 was 682. Of these, 533 were awarded proficiency certificates, eleven endorsed competency certificates, and forty-nine ordinary competency certificates —percentages of 78 for proficiency and 9 for competency certificates. The increase in the percentage of proficiency certificates was to some extent unexpected. It may largely be explained, however, by the strictness in the previous classification in the Fifth Standard, and by the effect of the issue by the Inspectors of independent specimen tests to all schools at the end of each term. The latter tended to maintain regularity of effort and a more exact estimate of the progress of the pupils during the year. Course of Instruction. —Owing to the necessity for brevity in the report a detailed reference to the subjects of the course is omitted. In any' case extended comment is not very necessary, as many of the suggestions of the previous annual report cannot be completely adopted in one year, and to a large extent still apply to the conditions existing. A good beginning has been made in modifying the programmes in drawing, vocal music, nature-study, and handwork, as well as in improving methods in other subjects. It is usual to find that care and intelligence have been applied to the preparation and presentation of the schemes of work in all classes of schools. It may be mentioned specially that in physical instruction the course has been extended and more thorough methods adopted. We have, &c. , A. J. Morton, \ W. A. Ballanttne, [ Inspectors. H.

WANGANUI. SlR '~~ Wanganui, 2nd March, 1918. We have the honour to present our report for the year ended 31st December, 1917. During the year 202 schools were in operation, 117 being single-teacher schools, forty-three employing two teachers, twenty three teachers, and twenty-two more than three teachers. The total number of teachers (heads and assistants) employed was 399, of whom 258 were certificated and 141 uncertificated. Most of the uncertificated teachers were in the smaller schools, and here we found greatest difficulty in securing an adequate return for the salaries paid. In most of these cases two visits a year proved quite inadequate, but with the present staff we could do no more. We are glad to record, however, (hat some of the beginners proved to be most devoted to their studies and to their school-work, among them being men and women who had previously followed other callings. Acting on our advice the Board held a winter and a summer school of instruction in Wanganui, and many teachers from remote schools availed themselves of these opportunities to gain further knowledge of school-work We have in previous reports pointed out the necessity in this district for a model country school, and we are glad to know that the establishment of such a. school is now possible. Some further method of aiding inexperienced teachers is, however, necessary, and we would suggest that much good would result if supervising teachers were appointed to give assistance in the small schools throughout the district. We do not think these supervisors should have the rank of Inspectors, but should, under the direction and control of the Board and the Inspectors, move from school to school aiding the teachers and demonstrating good methods of organization and teaching. In the larger schools the head teachers willingly seconded our efforts to have more attention paid to such details of organization as the arrangements for the professional training of pupilteachers and probationers, the establishment of the prefect system, the providing of adequate playground supervision, the preparation of a proper plan of supervision of classes by head teachers, and a systematic method of aiding the assistants and dealing with class weaknesses. We were glad to note by the end of the year a very marked improvement in the trainees, and are confident these will go forward io the Training College well prepared for the more highly specialized training they will receive there. Early in February conferences between Inspectors and teachers were held in Wanganui, Feilding, Palmerston, and Taihape, and much benefit, to ourselves as well as, we believe, to the teachers resulted from the free interchange of opinion the conferences made possible. There is a. tendency for the general public to judge the success of a school and a district by its percentage of proficiency passes in S6. While there is, no doubt, some general relation between the efficiency of a school and the success of its S6 pupils, and while it is desirable teachers should be urged to spare no effort to enable their pupils to qualify for the privileges "attached to a. SG pass, yet it must be remembered that in North Island districts especially the movement of (be people from place to place is very pronounced and cannot but react deleteriously on the progress of the pupils. This movement in the school population is still most pronounced in the Wanganui Education District. The war has robbed our schools of many efficient teachers. No less than seventy-two have gone on active service, and there remain only fifty-five, all in the Second Division, who are eligible for service. Some of our most reliable and most efficient teachers are at the front, several have fallen, and, though those who have stepped into the gaps are in most cases maintaining the efficiency of the service in its higher branches, (here remain positions for which the Board can find only inexperienced teachers. With the coming into use of the motor-car some change in methods of inspection appears desirable. At present the notified visit of inspection is compulsory, except for the space of one year, when it may, with the Board's approval, be omitted. The notified visit has in this district, and we believe elsewhere, become an examination visit. The Inspector takes charge and tests as many subjects and as many classes as possible. We believe some testing of a teacher's work is necessary; but we would suggest that the retention of the notified visit unduly hampers Inspectors who desire to move freely among the schools and examine only where such a course appears necessary. We do not suggest there should be no examination by Inspectors—in the smaller schools this is very necessary —we merely recommend that the notification of one visit should be mandatory only in cases where an examination is decided upon. The Board's Leaflet and the circulating library, both of which are in the Inspectors' care, continue, we feel sure, to be of service to teachers, and amply repay the money and effort expended on them. By their help teachers have been made acquainted with modern_ movements in education, a knowledge of Montessori methods has been spread through the district, and teachers have been kept in touch with educational ideals. Many teachers are full of enthusiasm, and spare neither time nor effort to keep themselves in the van of educational advance. We are glad to have the opportunity here to commend the many teachers of infant classes who, in their effort to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Montessori, prepared large stocks of material and even manufactured part of the recognized Montessori apparatus. The method has been introduced into many of the country schools, and where understood has proved an unqualified success. One of our most pleasing experiences has been to mingle with the Montessori pupils in a country school and to note their ingenuous eagerness and interest in their self-imposed tasks. With regard to the subjects of instruction and methods of teaching, there is less cause to complain of the isolation of the subjects. The possibilities of the correlation of studies and their corresponding intensification is well recognized in all efficient schools. The importance_ o a well-reasoned scheme of manual and technical instruction is recognized throughout the district and we have endeavoured in other than manual and technical subjects to lay stress on practical methods of instruction.

Twelve schools have been constituted " weather-observation stations," and these are supplied with a maximum and minimum thermometer in addition to the ordinary apparatus supplied. Monthly reports are received from these schools and published in the Leaflet, with such details as altitude of station, situation with respect to land and water masses, to enable all schools throughout the district to compare weather records and deal with the teaching of climate in the most practical manner. The scheme of manual artd technical instruction in the primary schools aims at providing continuous courses of manual occupations associated on the one side with instrumental drawing and on the other with free drawing. In the junior classes plane geometry is taught through the medium of paper-folding, but in the larger schools carton-modelling may be substituted in S2. In the senior division scale drawing and geometry (plane and solid) are associated with carton or cardboard modelling, or, where facilities are available, with woodwork. The boys alone follow up instrumental drawing along these lines in the senior division. In the case of girls the instrumental drawing is associated with brush design, and scale drawing is not as a rule taken. In addition to the above course in instrumental drawing with the associated handwork, most schools provide a course in plasticine-modelling associated with free drawing (object drawing and design). Unfortunately this course is interrupted, usually at the end of the S2 period, and we do not at present see our way to urge the continuance of the instruction in the senior division. We have, &c, T.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, Napier, 22nd February, 1918. We have the honour to present the following report on the state of primary education in Hawke's Bay for the year 1917 : — In December there were in operation 145 public schools, ten Roman Catholic schools, and nine private registered schools. As in the preceding year, the primary classes of the local high schools and the Native schools in the district were subject to our inspection. Two new schools were opened during the year and fourteen were closed. All of these were small household schools. The following table shows the number on the roll and the number present at the teachers' annual examination in December, 1917 : — Public Schools. Number on Present at Roll. Examination.

We recommend that these schools be required to keep records in the registers provided by the Department. The total number on the rolls of these schools was 685; number present at examination, 645. School Buildings.— As a rule the teachers bestow reasonable care on the buildings. Ihe use of schoolrooms for social gatherings is a matter which should receive attention. We have again had complaints concerning the condition in which the premises are left. The new buildings now in course of erection are of a much better type as regards lighting and ventilation. Nothing has yet been done in the matter of open-air class-rooms, although a good deal of open-air teaching is practised.

Physical Instruction. —During the early part of the 3'ear all the larger schools and many of the country schools were visited by the Department's physical instructors. The work on the whole is progressing, and Ihe children are showing the benefit of the training. Periodic refresher courses are, however, required for the teachers, and to this end physical instruction was included in the programme of work undertaken at the winter school held in Gisborne during the month of May. General Efficiency. —ln regard to the quality of the work presented during the j'ear we have to offer the following remarks : — English. —Reading is generally satisfactory. More attention should be given to develop more fully in the pupils the power to express in their own language the thoughts contained in the passage read. The value of silent reading, followed by exercises in reproduction, is too little appreciated, especially in the country schools. Children should be encouraged to read more extensively, and to (his end the school libraries should be increased. A new series of supplementary readers is to be introduced this year. Only in a comparatively few schools are the definite lessons in speech indicated in the syllabus taken. The phonic exercises in the readingbook should be of some assistance to teachers; unfortunately, we fear that these are often ignored. In recitation more elocutionary and dramatic effect should be sought, and in many cases more critical judgment should be exercised in the selection of pieces for recitation. Writing is on the whole satisfactory. Excellent work is shown in places. In the lower classes a closer adherence to the head-line is required, and more blackboard illustration should be given. Spelling has improved to a reasonable degree. Teachers are beginning to follow out the plan of making the children learn words commonly used by them, and some of the lists prepared are compiled with good judgment by those who have begun the practice. The essays show a distinct advance in quality this year, and are freer from errors. In the upper standards, paragraphing and study of diction and synonyms and of figurative expression require attention. A careful study of connectives is also desirable, and some consideration might well be directed to style. Every child above the age of ten should be accustomed to the use of the dictionary. Oral composition is not very satisfactorily treated, and its value when correlated with picture-study, nature-work, wordbuilding, and logical arrangement of ideas is lost sight of. We are inclined to think that there should be more careful preparation beforehand, and look, to see provision for this in the schemes of work for the current year. Further, a close adherence to the class-book in vogue tends to destroy originality and local colour in the work, all the pupils being confined to the same subject and to the same line of treatment. From our observation we are satisfied that in the majority of the schools grammar should receive more definite formal treatment to meet the most recent additions to the syllabus, and teachers are enjoined to make a careful study of the new requirements in this subject. In arithmetic more mental and oral work is required, and should receive a definite allocation on the time-table. Teachers will do well in the higher classes to devote some time to short methods, especially in regard to bill items, problems of everyday life, and the application of decimals. Geography. —ln the lower standards the work in geography is well taught. We find frequently that the work in S5 does not show a sufficient advance in economic geography from that presented in S4, owing to the tendency to confine the course too closely to New Zealand, which, after two years' study in S3 and S4, should be sufficiently known. History. —The text-books recommended by the Board contain clearly defined programmes of instruction, and the knowledge exhibited by the children should be more exact. In S6 we consider that the programme should concern itself mostly with the Hanoverian period, and should include the principal events in the history of our own Dominion. Drawing. —With the purpose of limiting the programmes in each branch to the essential features of the syllabus, a scheme of work was issued by the Board as a suggestion to teachers, and the result has been very satisfactory, particularly with regard to drawing with brush and chalk. The principles of model-drawing arc, however, insufficiently understood in many instances. Science. —During the year programmes in various branches of science were drawn up, and we are hoping to arrange this year for classes in suitable centres in order to demonstrate to teachers the course therein contained. This seems to be particularly desirable in general science, in which branch the teachers have had no opportunity of receiving instruction. In dairy science and agriculture much useful mork continues to be done. Singing —ln very few schools do we find the full purpose of singing-lessons carried out; little is attempted beyond the mere teaching of songs. Arrangements are now in hand to afford teachers a practical course of lessons in illustration of the complete requirements of the syllabus. Needlework. —Most of the schools have been employed during the year in work for patriotic purposes, the result being that the importance of the fundamental instruction in sewing has been largely overlooked. It is essential, we think, that girls should be taught the stitches required in' general sewing and their application, and this must be done apart from patriotic work. Pupil-teachers and, Probationers. —We have brought before the Board the need for securing for the pupil-teachers and probationers a greater amount of practical training in the art of teaching, and have recommended that regular criticism lessons under the direct supervision of the headmaster and the moro experienced assistants, in turn, be taken at fortnightly intervals. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Uncertificated Teachers. —Thirty-two teachers joined the Board's correspondence course arranged in the interest of uncertificated teachers. In connection with this course classes of instruction were held —one in May at Gisborne, and one in December at Hastings. The subjects comprised practical science, agriculture and dairy science, school method and physical instruc-

tion, elementary hygiene, arithmetic, and English. The results just published may be regarded as very satisfactory. In the interests of uncertificated teaohers in more remote places we hope to hold during June, in addition to the ordinary correspondence course, a winter school in the subjects that do not lend themselves to correspondence teaching. Manual Instruction. —lnstruction in woodwork and cookery is afforded in five centres. The need for a separate manual-training school in Napier itself is still an urgent matter. The ordinary handwork subjects in the schools have been to some extent interfered with owing to the difficulty of obtaining material. Grading of 'Teachers. —The grading of teachers in accordance with the Dominion grading scheme appears to have met with little objection at the hands of the teachers. Seven appeals, most of which were based on reasonable grounds, were dealt with by the Appeal Board. With one exception all were upheld, and the necessary adjustments have been made.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Wellington, February, 19.18. We have the honour to submit our report for 1917 on the work of the primary and district high schools of the Wellington District. During the year a new side school was opened at Seatoun, while aided schools at Black Rock, Elaine Bay, Huritini. Pukekoikoi, Titirangi, Whakatahuri, Lowlands, Pencarrow, Pori, and Stronvar were closed. New Board schools were opened at Brancott, Saratoga, Tira Ora, Wairau Bar, and Whareatea. New private schools were registered at Carterton (St. Mary's Convent), Masterton (Solway College), and Wellington (St. Mark's). Details as to numbers, average ages, &c, of 264 public, twenty-nine registered private, and two special schools are compiled in the following tables: —

There was thus a total of 295 schools in operation, with 27,786 pupils on the rolls and 26,983 present at the Inspectors' annual visit.

The following figures show the increase of roll number since the amalgamation of the Marlborough District with Wellington: Combined r011—1916, 23,928; 1917, 24,725: increase, 797. The percentage of roll in each class was as follows : — P. SI. 82, S3 84. 85. S6. S7. Dominion .. .. 35-5 12-7 12-3 11-9 10-9 9-3 6-1 1-3 Wellington.. .. 32-5 12-6 12-8 11-9 11-0 9-9 7-9 1-4 Summary of efficiency: Good to very good, 78 schools; satisfactory to good, 129 schools; fair to moderate, 40 schools; inferior, 4 schools: total, 251. As in previous years, the schools classified as unsatisfactory are, with two exceptions, in Grades 0, I, and 11, and are situated in remote parts of the district. The problem of finding competent teachers for such places has always been a difficult one, and matters have not improved under war conditions. A separate report is attached giving details of action taken in regard to the most unsatisfactory of these schools. Syllabus. —We here briefly summarize our estimate of the efficiency of the district as a whole in the various subjects of the syllabus. English: Reading—accuracy and fluency, good; comprehension of subject-matter, satisfactory We are asking, however, that more attention be paid to the general meaning of the paragraph, and that the upper standards should have more practice with pencil or brush in the interpretation of details in the subject-matter of the reading-lesson, .'anils in articulation and enunciation are more apparent than they should be, and we have had to call attention to the absence from many schemes of work of any method—critical or constructive—of dealing systematically with common faults in the spoken language. Recitation is satisfactory so far as the memorizing of the regulation number of lines is concerned, but seldom shows any elocutionary merit, and in many instances the pieces are, moreover, selected with too little regard for correlation either with the matter of other subjects of the syllabus or with the pupils' own experience. Essay-writing is good, particularly in schools in which teachers show sound judgment in the selection of topics which are of live interest to the pupils. Letter-writing is not so satisfactory, and we shall expect teachers to deal definitely with such details as the correct setting-out of the superscription and subscription of the more common types of letters. Writing and spelling range from satisfactory to good. Arithmetic is on the whole good, though we have noticed some neglect of the syllabus requirements in the P. and SI classes. We have found a tendency on the part of many teachers to deal with numbers considerably beyond the limit set for these classes by the regulations, the result being that ready knowledge of the composition of numbers below 1(10 and facility in oral work as specifically required by the regulations are sacrificed to long and laboured operations in tens, and even hundreds, of thousands. History and geography are naturally closely correlated with the circumstances of the war, and are on the whole receiving intelligent treatment—that is, so far as examination requirements will allow. We regret that drawing can be classed as fair only. Though very good work is being done in some schools, the results attained in the district as a whole are disappointing. Specific directions have been issued to teachers with a view to ensuring more progressive treatment of this subject from class to class, and its greater co-ordination with other subjects of the syllabus. The efficiency mark for handwork ranges from good to very good. We find evidence of very satisfactory progress being made in the teaching of elementary agriculture. As showing the benefits to be derived from well-directed courses of cottage gardening and nature-study, the Chief Instructor remarks on the gradual but steady improvement in many of the school-grounds, and the greater adaptability for agricultural work shown in the district high schools by the average proficiency pupil of to-day. Medical inspection and physical instruction : The Medical Officer reports that upwards of three thousand children in the Wellington District were medically examined. Lectures and demonstrations were also given to training-college students, and, wherever practicable, meetings with parents were arranged and addresses given. The establishment of the school-nurse system has provided a most desirable and effective link between the school and the home in regard to cases reported by the Medical Inspector as defective, and has resulted in nearly 70 per cent, of these cases receiving the necessary treatment, a result which, in the circumstances, the Medical Inspector considers satisfactory. Excellent results are being recorded with regard to the corrective classes which have been established in connection with schools of Grade IV and upwards. Satisfactory reports have also been received from the physical instructors, some 195 schools, representing upwards of twenty thousand children, having been visited and inspected. Swimming is receiving^attention wherever the necessary facilities exist, and we have to express appreciation of the action of the City Council in placing the Municipal Baths at the disposal of the schools. District, High Schools.—[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] General.—The spring school of agricultural instruction for teachers was held in Masterton with very gratifying results; a similar school was also held with equal success in Blenheim. A training-camp for physical instruction was held in the early part of the year, and one for training-college students in November. The physical instructors emphasize the importance of these camps as "refresher courses" for all teachers. During the year addresses on educational matters were delivered by the Inspectors to gatherings of teachers at Wellington, Masterton, and Pahiatua, and head teachers have several times met in conference with the Senior Inspector to discuss matters in connection with the interpretation and administration of the Departments regulations. . , . , , , _„ The demands of military service have seriously depleted the ranks of our male teachers, many of whom have, indeed, 'already made the supreme sacrifice; and while we have felt it our duty to draw attention to shortcomings in the method and management of some of our schools.

NELSON. Sir,— Nelson, 12th March, 1918. We have the honour to present our annual report on the schools of the Nelson Education District for the year 1917. During the last quarter of the year 119 schools were at work, the number including four half-time schools reckoned as two. There were also nine side schools, Rahui (previously attached to Charleston) having been closed. 115 schools were inspected by us, in most cases more than once, those unvisited having been opened since the Inspector's visit to their part of the district. With the addition of the nine side schools, four secondary classes at district high schools, and sixteen private and miscellaneous schools, 144 school establishments in all came under inspection. Private Schools. —The roll number of the private and special schools inspected was 957, of which number 932 were present at the annual examination. In all seventy-six pupils were presented for the Sixth Standard examination, and thirty-three proficiency and eighteen competency certificates were obtained. The preparatory divisions at the Nelson Boys' and Girls' Colleges were also inspected, and candidates for certificates were examined by us. The roll number was fifty-two, fifty-one being present at the examination. Including twelve from the upper school, there were in all twenty-two candidates for certificates, and fourteen proficiency and five competency certificates were gained. The efficiency of the work of these different schools, of which the total roll number is 1,009, is briefly summarized in the following estimate: Four schools good, three schools satisfactory to good, seven schools satisfactory, two schools fair to satisfactory. Public Schools. —The number on the rolls of the public schools of the district has also increased, the average weekly roll for September quarter being 6,967. In regularity of attendance a great improvement has been made, the average attendance for the year, 6,217, being 89-7 per cent, of the average weekly roll, almost as high as any previously recorded in this district. The percentage for the whole Dominion last year was 886, being lower then than usual on account of the prevalence of epidemics. The following details of classes are supplied from the Inspectors' annual return : — Number on Present at Annual Roll. Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 144 138 VI ... ... ... 532 523.

Owing to the absence of any general epidemic this year the number present at examination shows a decided improvement. There is still a great leakage of numbers between S2 and SO, markedly increasing in proportion as the higherstandards are reached. The number in S7 consists mainly of the secondary-class pupils _ of the four district high schools, and is comparatively small, as a large proportion of those gaining proficiency certificates annually pass on to secondary or technical schools. The proportion of children retained in the preparatory class shows further diminution, representing now 33-4 per cent, of the total roll. The following is a general summary of results of examinations : —•

Though the number of certificates awarded is much greater, the percentage of passes— proficiency 57 per cent, and competency 21 per cent. —is practically the same as that of last year. For the whole Dominion last year the percentages were 67 and 16 respectively. Of the competency certificates twenty-three were endorsed for special merit in handwork and elementary science. The endorsed certificate, as well as the proficiency, qualifies the holder for a junior free place at a technical school. Teachers. —The status of the teaching staff has not further suffered during the year, but, if anything, has slightly improved in respect to sole teachers. On the 31st December 209 teachers were in the employ of the Education Board, classified as follows: — Cer.ifica.od. Uncertificated. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... 38 2 40 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 64 29 93 Sole teachers .... ... ... ... ... 25 51 76 Totals ... ... ... ... 127 82 - 209 Totals for 1916 ... ... ... 125 79 204 Twenty-three pupil-teachers and eighteen probationers were also employed. School Buildings. —During the last two or three years the greatly increased cost of materials and labour has led to the postponement of much repairing and repainting. The general condition of the school buildings has suffered in consequence. We are pleased to see that during the year the Board has taken effective measures to prevent rapid deterioration. Schools requiring attention have been graded, and are being systematically put in order, the most urgent cases having been already dealt with. Several of our schools arc very old. In order to avoid the accumulated cost of rebuilding these—a necessity which must arise at no very distant date —it would be well to systematize effort and allocate a sufficient sum to replace one school each year or alternate year. Efficiency of Schools. —The estimate following shows that the loss of efficiency occasioned by (he unusual disabilities of last year has been somewhat compensated by an improvement in the number of schools classed as efficient. Good, 24 schools; satisfactory to good, 23; satisfactory, 53; fair to satisfactory, 13; fair, 3; moderate to fair, 1. Efficient, 100; non-efficient, 17: for 1916—efficient, 95; non-efficient, 17. All but one of those marked inefficient are sole-teacher schools, and many of them, are of such low grade that it is almost impossible to obtain trained or certificated teachers for them. Though the general status of the schools is not so high as it was even in 1915, the improvement is gratifying, anil shows that the teaching staffs as a rule are doing their duty in maintaining efficiency and in preventing the decline that might be expected as a result of continued war conditions, Handwork. —Some form of elementary handwork has been taught in almost all schools, and the quality of the work done has been reported on in 1.05. Plasticine-modelling is by far the most common form of training. The manual-training centres of Nelson, Westport, Wakefield, and Reefton have, as usual, conducted classes in woodwork or ironwork and cookery. Motueka has taken the domestic-science course only, and a new centre for metal-work and cookery has been formed at Denniston. Seventy-two schools have taken some form of manual training. The most common deficiency in handwork instruction is to be found in small country schools remote from a manual-training centre, which find special difficulty in carrying out the requirements laid down for S5 and S6. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Maori Children. —The number of Maori children in attendance at the schools of the district is thirty-one, as compared with thirty-three last year. This number is distributed throughout eleven schools, Whangarae, with nine pupils, having the largest roll number. There are ten in Class P, four in SI, seven in S2, four in :S4, five in S5, and one in S6 ; and the general progress of the Maori children is quite satisfactory. riii/sicul Instruction.—'We work of physical instruction is now very systematically carried out in almost all the schools of the district.' The reports of the physical instructors are in most, cases of a very favourable nature, and indicate that, good work is being done. The chief weakness is that in some schools the work is becoming too mechanical. A refresher camp of instruction for teachers was held on the West. Coast in December. Fifty teachers attended, and in spite of very unfavourable weather conditions during the opening days everything worked towards a complete success. The regular visit of the Medical Inspector was made during the year. The corrective classes previously established were inspected, and further classes of the kind wore organized. It is not. always easy to arrange and carry on the work of these classes, but where the treatment has been regularly applied good results have been evident. We have, &c, G, A.

CANTERBURY. Sin,— Christchurch, April, 1918. We have the honour to present our annual report on the schools of this district for the year 1917. The number of public schools open at the close of the year was 381. To each of these, with the exception of two or three small schools, two visits were paid. Forty-five private schools were also inspected. The annual examination lists show an enrolment of 34,285 pupils in the Board's schools and 3,792 in the private schools under inspection. The following is a summary of the results of the proficiency examinations : —• Pupils Proficiency Competency oxamined. Certificates. Certificates. Public schools ... ... ... ... 2,356 1,528 482 Private schools ... ... ... ... 265 157 70 Special examinations ... ... ... 240 104 88 2,861 1,789 640 Thus 63 per cent, of those presenting themselves obtained proficiency and 22 per cent, competency. The returns from district high schools showed 655 pupils on the roll. Owing to the shortage of adult labour a keen demand has arisen for the services of boys and girls, and the existence of some of the smaller schools has been threatened. This is to be greatly regretted, as these schools have in the past rendered excellent service to the cause of secondary education. During the year there has been considerable extension of handwork classes. This lias been largely due to the energy, enthusiasm, and able administration of the Board's Supervisor of Handwork. Lack of sufficient centres has handicapped his efforts, but it is to be hoped that in the near future adequate woodwork and cookery accommodation will be provided. The medical inspection of pupils has been zealously carried out by the Medical Inspector of Schools, and the increasing interest shown is abundant proof that its importance is recognized by the general public. The physical instructors have had a very successful year, and many of the pupils by their improved physique and carriage bear testimony to the benefits derived from regular and systematic training. The results of the corrective classes have exceeded expectations, the whole-hearted support of the teachers being most encouraging. It is, however, to be regretted that there are still some schools in which the harmful bodily attitudes assumed by the pupils while at their work appear to escape the teachers' observation. In connection with the various subjects of the curriculum there is little change to report. Reading, though on the whole improving, still suffers in some schools from the fact that the pupils simply say the words without much regard to thought-interpretation. More, too, might be done in the direction of systematic training of the vocal organs, in which connection the voiceproduction exercises associated with the 1 singing-lessons should be of great value. Spelling is generally good. Composition varies in quality from very good to poor. In our better schools there is evidence of excellent teaching, but in the poorer group instruction is often haphazard and unsystematic. Recitation in many instances shows an advance both in choice of matter and in mode of rendering. Writing is mainly satisfactory. In arithmetic, although the majority of the schools do sound work, there are still some that underestimate the importance of mental practice. History continues more or less unsatisfactory, and many teachers have yet to realize that success can be achieved only by defiuiteness of aim and inspirational methods. In geography steady improvement is noticeable, but observational work and a proper correlation of the commercial, physical, and political aspects of the subject should receive more thoughtful consideration. Drawing, while on the whole satisfactory, suffers in too many schools from lack of systematic instruction. Teachers themselves should assume the responsibility of framing properly graded schemes for the different sections of their pupils. In nature-study, too, they often fail to realize that the children themselves should do the most of the seeing, thinking, and talking. Order and discipline are distinctly good, and there is every indication that this pleasingstate of affairs is secured without resort to unduly repressive measures. In conclusion, we would place on record our appreciation of the zeal and enthusiasm shown by the teachers of this district. In spite of the distracting influences of the last two or three years, they have worked loyally and faithfully. Although a few—and their number is rapidly diminishing—still fail to acquaint themselves with existing regulations, still neglect to have their schemes completed at the appointed time, and still omit to send in their returns promptly, the great body of teachers are men and women who have a fine conception of duty, and are endeavouring as far as lies in their power to promote the physical, mental, and moral welfare of those under their charge. Our thanks are due to the Board and its officials for many acts of courtesy. We have, &c, Wm. Brock, i Jas. Gibson Gow, Chas. D. Hardie, I T , c r, r, ,-Inspectors. S. C. Owen, i r J. B.

OTAGO. Sir,— Dunedin, Bth March, 1918. We have the honour to submit herewith our annual report on the work of the schools in this district for the year 1917. The following table gives a summary of inspection results for the public schools : — Number on Present at Annual Roll.

With the exception of household schools, all the schools were inspected, and m nearly all cases two visits were paid. In addition the Inspectors visited and reported on sixteen private schools. . Efficiency of Schools.— An analysis of the Inspectors' annual return gives the following results with regard to efficiency : Excellent or very good, 26 per cent. ; good, 41 per cent. ; satisfactory, 28 per cent.; fair to inferior, 5 per cent. This shows a satisfactory decrease of 5 per cent in the lowest group and an increase of 6 per cent, in the highest group. Proficiency Examination. — -For the proficiency certificate 1,631 candidates presented themselves- of these 1 275, or 78 per cent., secured the certificate of proficiency and 212 gained the certificate of competency. This shows an increase of 3 per cent, on the results of the previous 11 ' Syllabus —Last year we reported very fully on the subjects of the syllabus, and as we have in our reports to the Board furnished details of the work done during the year we think it unnecessary to add to our general report this year, except to emphasize the remarks we imukm 1917 on reading, history, geography, and drawing.

the condition of the school surroundings reflects great credit on the Committees and teachers, but in a few districts we find (he Committees apathetic in matters affecting the welfare of the children. On the whole the schoolrooms are kept very clean and tidy. Some of them are well supplied with suitable pictures, but in many the walls are quite bare, and a strenuous effort should be made to remedy this defect. Pupil-teachers.— line of the effects of free places at the high schools has been to increase the number of matriculated candidates for pupil-teacherships. At the completion of their course entrance to the training college is gained through partial D, consequently the necessary course of study is by no means exacting, especially as it is relieved by drawing and physical-instruction classes, which are in the nature of recreative exercises. We regret that wiser counsel does not jirevail in the case of those young people who, though at a critical age, are aided and abetted in the unwise course of taking university classes during the years of their pupil-teacher-slnp—too frequently with ill effect upon the health, and at all times with the tendency to detach themselves from the work of the school, and expend energy in work thai is provided for later in their training, and which, though no part of the pupil-teacher course, has been used to discredit the system. We are of opinion that the pupil-teacher course should be such as gives ample opportunities for rest and recreation, and this, it does, especially as most of the youths are well on to partial I) on their appointments, and the requirements can well be met without strain or other ill effects. . Miscellaneous.— Board's regulations: We frequently find teachers not as conversant with the Board's regulations as is necessary, and we consider it desirable that not only during their course of training, but also subsequently, means should be adopted to secure familiarity with the regulations under which our schools are to be conducted. Educational literature: There appears to be prevalent the wrong impression that possession of a certificate obviates the necessity for further study. As a consequence (oo seldom do we find teachers well versed and up to date in educational literature, or imbued with the idea that the knowledge of the art of teaching obtained during their comparatively short period of training only enabled them to advance but a few steps out of the dark, and that they are yet only teachers in 'the making who require not only experience, but also effort directed by the master minds ot education. „ _••_.■ i i , We cannot allow this report to pass without reference to the excellent patriotic work < oik by the children and the teachers—work which shows a fine spirit and is deserving of the highest praise. As a practical lesson in civics it cannot be surpassed, and it also affords evidence ot the interest taken by the teachers in the welfare of the children both in and out of school. Ihis interest is also shown by many teachers, who willingly give much of their spare time to instruction in and supervision of such organized games as cricket, tennis, football, hockey, Ac.

closing of schools and seriously interrupted the work of instruction. There is room for much doubt as to whether the means adopted was at all effective in checking this epidemic. It is evidently advisable that every school should receive an unannounced visit, if for no other purpose than doing justice to its staff when the period for grading teachers comes round. On the other hand, the number of inexperienced teachers in the district is fairly large, and it seems our bounden duty to assist them practically to as great an extent as possible. We have therefore during the year exempted from full examination six of our higher-grade schools, and devoted the time thus gained to two-day visits to twenty-three of our weaker schools. The teachers thus benefited have not been slow to express their sense of the value of our assistance. It seems certain that this course will be necessary for some considerable time yet. War conditions have almost depleted our schools of unmarried male teachers; the calling-up of the Second Division will involve us in almost insuperable difficulties. The position is now acute alike as regards the appointment of permanent, temporary, or relieving teachers. A. moderate proportion of the staff in our larger schools should be male teachers; at present Invercargill South, with a roll of 841. has only one male assistant. In the case of Grade I Behoofs it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain even female teachers with satisfactory jualifications. The strict conditions of attendance at teachers' Saturday classes have practically eliminated abuse of the benefits afforded by these classes. If the results do not seem commensurate with the expenditure, this is due largely to the time lost and the fatigue incurred by many of the students in travelling, and to the unfavourable conditions of study in their lodgings. The number of male applicants fur the positions of pupil-teacher and probationer is very small, and the proportion of candidates with the higher qualifications is much srhaller than it is in districts with better facilities for university education. The extent to which leave of absence is granted to young teachers and their low average literary standing impel us to the conclusion that both physically and intellectually entrants to the teaching profession are inferior to those of former years. There is possibly nothing which impedes the progress of education in this district more than the frequent changes of teaching staff. This is no new ( evil induced by war conditions, but has been in evidence for many years. There were 108 such changes during 1917. The evil is in some measure due to the great extent of the district, many teachers, particularly the uncertificated, being so remote from central classes as to render their advancement in status and thenpromotion matters of the utmost difficulty. A teacher is required, under the present rules of the Board, to remain at least one year'in a position before again appointment :it would be better for our schools, and in few cases detrimental to the teacher's interests, were the period two years instead of one. Towards the end of the year we had much pleasure in conferring with the Teachers Institute on schemes of work in history, geography, spelling, &c. The labour involved on both sides was considerable, but will be fully rewarded, we believe, by improvement in the treatment of these subjects in our schools. Should time allow we should be glad to give similar help m regard to other subjects which present much difficulty to our inexperienced teachers—nature-study, drawing handwork, &c. As regards elementary science, some of the schemes presented last year were almost wholly made up of work properly coming under the headings of instrumental drawing and arithmetic; while the programmes of science in rural schools without a garden were, generally speaking, unsatisfactory. In all these cases we are asking that amended schemes be submitted to us for approval. . , ~ .. ~ In the case of schools managed by uncertificated teachers we examine and classify all pupils at as late a period in the year as possible. Generally speaking, unwarranted promotion is a more frequent fault than undue retardation; the latter failing affects the infant classes principally. We have had in a good many cases to protest against " provisional classification— i.e. promoting a pupil into a class for which he is not fit, to see if in time he will prove fit In nine cases out of ten he proves unfit. The practice of subdividing S6 into upper and lower sections, the lower containing pupils fitter for S5 than for 86, has been practically discontinued : it was quite indefensible. , w . . ~, The results of the proficiency examination are given below. It is to be noted—* irst, that composition has greatly improved; second, that some teachers failed to notice the increased importance attached to composition by recent amendments of the syllabus; and, third, that a few teachers concentrated their efforts on English and arithmetic alone, their pupils in some cases fulfilling all the conditions in these two subjects, yet failing to gam proficiency.

[Appendix B.

In many of our schools the classes up to S2 show very satisfactory progress from year to year both in reading and in recitation, but such progress is usually not so well maintained throughout the senior division. It is doubtful, however, whether the P classes are sufficiently drilled in enunciation, and whether sufficient use is made of the continuous readers in the senior division. Judged by the dictation tests the spelling is satisfactory; in S6 it is often good, but errors in common words are frequent in the composition-papers even where the dictation test is well done. The handwriting is on the whole of very fair quality; much of it in S6 is indeed good in respect both of speed and of style. In some schools, however, S3, S4, and S5 are allowed through lack of supervision to lapse into careless habits. In respect of arrangement, paragraphing, and punctuation the composition shows improvement, especially in the larger schools, but neglect of these points is still too common. The programme in formal grammar is generally too restricted. In the arithmetic of the lower classes there is usually too little drill in tables, too little mental and oral work. In the higher classes there is often a want of practical concrete knowledge of the weights and measures, little appreciation of short methods (properly so called) except in S6, and some waste of time over complex fractions. These faults are in many cases perpetuated and aggravated by the promotion of pupils that are weak in arithmetic. In S6 long tots and mental arithmetic are improving. The buildings throughout the district are, generally speaking, in good repair. The credit for this is mostly due to the Board's gang of workmen, seconded in some cases by local activity. The Board's policy is to keep the exteriors of buildings well painted with a view' to their preservation. It may be strongly questioned whether, considering the stakes at issue (the health and physical well-being of the pupils), the painting of the interiors is not more important. Owing to the large number of female teachers in the service many of the residences in the district are either untenanted or occupied by tenants other than the teachers. This would seem to indicate the necessity for a. cautious policy in regard to building residences; on the other hand, the total discontinuance of building would debar many married men from the profession, for in most country places it is next to impossible to obtain a house suitable for a teacher's use, or, indeed, any house at all.

No. 2. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS OF MANUAL INSTRUCTION, ETC. [For Reports on Rural Courses in District High Sohools see __.■ li, Report on Secondary Education.] AUCKLAND. Extract from the- Report of the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. t School Cookery and Woodwork. —The year 1917 shows a still further advance in these branoh.es of training, and two new centres have been opened at Matamata and Te Kuiti. Manual-training classes are now being conducted at Cambridge, Dargaville, Devonport, Hamilton, Helensville, Matamata, Tauranga, Newmarket, Newton, Otahuhu, Ponsonbv, Pukekohe, Te Aroha, Te Kopuru, Te Kuiti, Thames, Waihi, and Whangarei, and it is probable that during the forthcoming year several new centres will be established. Difficulty is still being experienced in procuring suitable equipment, owing to scarcity of supplies and prohibitive prices, but this is being overcome in a measure by sixty hours' instruction being given at sonic of the smaller centres for a period of three months of the year, and the transfer of the equipment to another centre. Although this measure may not be all that could be desired, it is certain that the intensified training for even a short period is of great benefit to the children, and more especially to those of the secondary department of a. district high school who are taking the rural course. Elementary Agriculture and Dairy Science and, School Gardening. —During the year 221 public schools and ten Native schools applied for recognition in agriculture, and ninety-one in agriculture and dairy science combined, whilst four schools took dairy science only. Nearly all these schools were visited from time to time by one of the instructors in agriculture.- It is proposed during the forthcoming year to hold special classes for primary-school teachers in the " besi methods of leaching agriculture,'' and the outcome it is hoped will be to raise the standard of teaching the subject and at the same time create that enthusiasm amongst the teachers which the subject rightfully deserves. Interest in school agriculture and dairy science was last year stimulated by competitions instituted specially for school-children by the various agricultural and pastoral associations at their shows, and the Education Board contributed towards the prizemoneys for these competitions. Swimming and Life-saving. —Thirty-seven schools were recognized for this subject, an increase of seven on the year 1916. Where facilities exist more attention might be given to this subject. TARANAKI. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Woodwork and Cookery. —Classes for instruction in these subjects were held at New Plymouth, Hawera, Eltham, Stratford, and Inglewood. Pupils of Standards V and VI from the schools in and adjacent to these centres attended the classes. Arrangements were practically completed for the introduction of a scheme whereby an itinerant woodwork instructor will visit various country centres in South Taranaki. It is intended to utilize the shelter-sheds of the various schools, which will be fitted with a specially designed bench. This system has been made possible by the financial assistance guaranteed from the following School Committees, viz.: Pihama, Manaia, Kapuni, liaponga, and Mangatoki. At Waitara also the citizens have shown a. most commendable and progressive spirit, inasmuch as they have subscribed half the cost of a building wherein cookery and woodwork may be taught, thus obviating the necessity of the Waitara children coming to New Plymouth. The Department has granted the remainder of the money, and classes will be opened with the new year. Extract from the Report of the Director of Agriculture. Some 110 schools took agriculture or dairy-work, or both, making an increased number of fifty-odd on the previous year. The majority of schools were visited four or five times in the year, and several much more frequently. The system of repeated short visits again has been proved to be of special value in keeping constantly in touch with the teachers and pupils. While the year's work has been satisfactory, still, owing to bad weather and to some considerable extent to tlie calls made upon the time of instructors by farmers' and other classes, and again owing to staff changes, not so many visits have been made as was intended. A beginning has been made in the direction of establishing centres of propagation whence trees, shrubs, &0., of rapid increase can be sent for propagation and subsequent distribution to surrounding schools. New Plymouth Central and Stratford Schools will take a leading place in this work. Owing to the kindness of the Agricultural Department all schools taking agriculture were supplied with seed of lucerne for sowing in November and December, and it is hoped that as a consequence each child in our district will be more or less familiar in future with that valuable fodder plant. In South Taranaki particularly it is being successfully grown over an increasingly wide area, and this to some considerable extent is due to propaganda work at our school and farmers' classes in past years. An effort has been made to correlate the farm and school plot work in country districts, and also to link more closely the subject of nature-study in the lower classes with that of agriculture and dairy-work in the higher.

WANGANUI. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual an» Technical Instruction. Agriculture. —ls7 schools had recognized classes, the average attendance being 2,300. The outdoor work continues to improve. Notebooks also showed improvement. There is still room for improvement in the indoor experimental work. Useful articles outlining experiments in agricultural science, schemes of work in primary-school agriculture, growing of native trees from seed, the cultivation of annuals, and nature-study notes appeared in the Leaflet during the year. An interesting exhibit showing the nature of the work undertaken at the schools was staged iii the Palmerston North Winter Show. It is proposed to exhibit on a somewhat larger scale at future shows. Woodwork and, Domestic Science. —Classes were held at Wanganui, Patea. Marton, Bull's, llongotea, Feilding, Palmerston North, Foxton, Apiti, Pohaugina, Hunter.ville, Taihape, and Ohakune. 737 pupils from thirty-four schools received instruction in woodwork, and 736 pupils from .thirty-three schools received instruction in domestic science. At Wanganui seventy-nine pupils from five schools took metal-work instead of woodwork. The programme of work in the woodwork course was ou the lines set out in the report for 1916. Laundry-work was added to the programme of the domestic course for senior girls. Art Instruct ion. —The Supervisor of Art Instruction visited a large number of schools during the. year. Teachers were given practical assistance in the teaching of the various branches of drawing and design, (fee, the work in the drawing-books was carefully examined, and lessons in drawing given to the pupils at all schools visited. A general improvement in the drawing-books is reported, some distinctly good work, being shown in some schools. A certain amount of attention was given to the matter of surface treatment by pencil-painting for the expression of light and shade, &c, It is intended to further carry on this branch of the work as time goes on. The usual tests in drawing in connection with the proficiency examination were set at the close of the •year, and from a, general survey of the work it appears that there is a. distinct improvement in a good many schools. Much of the work in free drawing sent up, however, bears evidence of wrong methods of setting about the work and carelessness in execution. Design, on, the whole is still far from good, but there is a. decided improvement in instrumental drawing. At (he request, of the Wanganui Women Teachers' Association the Board's Supervisor lectured at Palmerston North towards the close of the year to a gathering of about fifty teachers of that part of the district. The large number present is a pleasing proof of the interest that teachers take in the matter of drawing in our schools. It is hoped that further lectures will be arranged (luring the coming year. Handwork. — Recognized classes in handwork were held at 171 schools. Great difficulty was experienced in securing supplies of suitable materials, but it is hoped that full supplies will be on hand at the beginning of next year. Swimming and, Life-saving. —l,o72 pupils received instruction during the year. In view of the erection of swimming-baths at Palmerston North and the proposal to erect baths at Aramoho a large increase in the numbers receiving instruction in this subject may be looked for. Needlework and Dressmaking. —Special teachers of needlework were employed at thirty schools. At four schools instruction was given in advanced needlework and dressmaking. Other Subjects. —Classes in physical measurements were held at six schools, and in physiology and first aid at one school. The following table shows the number of schools at which classes were held and the number of pupils wdio received instruction during 1917 : —

HAWKE'S BAY. Extract prom the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction, Classes in elementary handwork were recognized in 121 schools, and the materials for carrying on this work were all supplied by the Board. Great difficulty was experienced in procuring materials for the different branches of handwork. However, with the assistance of the teachers throughout the district, sufficient materials were found to carry on the work of the schools to the end of the year.

The average numbers of pupils in the different groups of classes who received instruction were—Class P to S2, 6,029; S3 and 84, 2,829; S5 and S6, 2,149 : total, 11,007. Needlework classes under clause 26 (c) of the Manual and Technical Regulations were conducted in nine schools. The roll number was 123, and the average yearly attendance 102. Most of Ihe work done was for the Red Cross or some patriotic society. Woodwork, Cookery, and Dressmaking Classes. —Owing to sickness the work of these classes has been again interfered with. At Gisborne the schools were closed for a period of four weeks, and at Hastings centre for two weeks, owing Io epidemics of diphtheria. The following were the number of classes and the roll numbers of the woodwork, cookery, ami dressmaking classes : Woodwork, 23 classes, roll 560; cookery, 23 classes, roll 526; dressmaking, 23 classes, roll 468. Owing to the manual-training centre at Napier not being yet an established fact, 400 pupils are being deprived of instruction in woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking. The qualify of the work of the pupils attending the woodwork classes is steadily ou Ihe up grade. The instrumental drawing was particularly good, and the completed models showed that both pupils and instructors are doing satisfactory work. The conditions under which teachers and pupils are working are gradually being improved. The woodwork-room at Gisborne was relined and remodelled during the Christmas vacation. During the year a new cookery-room was built at Hastings, linoleums were laid in the cookeryrooms at Gisborne and Hastings, and new benches were put in the cookery-room at Waipawa. Science Classes.-- 116 classes were recognized for purposes of capitation during the year. These included forty-live classes in agriculture and dairy science, fifty classes in agriculture, and twenty-one classes in experimental science. The number of classes and roll numbers were as follows: Agriculture, 50 classes, roll 1,045; agriculture and dairy science, 45 classes, roll 969; experimental science, 21 classes, roll 765: total, 116 classes, 'roll 2,779. In the large schools some good work was done, and the school gardens and grounds were very creditable. Some of the small schools, owing to changes of teachers, did very spasmodic work. Next year I propose to conduct a series of classes for teachers in science subjects for Standard VI requirements. The work will be made more definite and the school-gardening more systematic. It is to be hoped that the teachers of the small country schools will be able to take advantage of these classes.

CANTERBURY. Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual Training. With respect to elementary handwork the Hoard carried out a forward policy during the year. It was not to be expected that such a large newly constituted district could be brought into one harmonious whole without a considerable amount of trouble, especially as many of the schools in the outlying parts of the district had not previously taken up any form of handwork and were without material and apparatus of any kind whatever. At the beginning of the year schemes of instruction were sent out to the different schools exemplifying how a course could be adopted, making the instruction correlative, continuous, and complete. In most cases teachers adopted these schemes and carried them out satisfactorily. The difficulties in the way of furnishing supplies have been very great, first on account of the scarcity of material and apparatus, and secondly on account of the increased cost thereof; but the best has been done under the circumstances, and the small schools in the remote parts of the district have been as liberally treated as those in the larger centres. Elementary handwork was taken up at 379 schools by 27,352 pupils, A considerable amount of extension has also taken place in connection with what is known as the advanced branches of handwork. Included in this list are classes as part of the agricultural courses of instruction, classes in woodwork, ironwork, cookery, domestic economy, hygiene, home science, laundry-work, swimming, (fee Woodwork and cookery classes have been carried on at twenty-two different centres with about 124 classes in eacli subject, and an average of 6,000 pupils received instruction. An attempt was made to give all pupils attending schools within reach of manual-training centres an opportunity of attending classes in these important branches of education, and where possible pupils were conveyed by rail, tram, Arc, to attend the different classes. Disorganization of the railway time-tables in the early part of the year threw these classes out of gear altogether, upset all our arrangements, and caused the Board considerable loss. In many instances classes once started had to be dropped because trains were unsuitable for both instructors and scholars. During the year a new manual-training centre was established at Geraldine, where some excellent work was done. New rooms at Oxford enabled the work to be carried on under more ideal conditions than heretofore. Classes in woodwork and cookery were re-established at the Hokitika and Greymouth centres. These centres had not been made use of for some time, and the buildings had got into disrepair. During the early part of the year the rooms were refitted and instructors appointed to take charge of the classes. These instructors have been most enthusiastic in their work, and the classes have been a great success. The wants and needs of our boys at the front have not been neglected by either the pupils or instructors in connection with these classes, as at nearly all the centres a great deal lias been done by way of supplying articles to be sold for Red Cross and patriotic purposes. Although much has been done with

E.—2.

[Appendix C.

regard to these branches of handwork much more remains to be done, especially as the science of home-making and home-keeping is now to figure so largely in the education of our girls, and agriculture is to figure so largely in the education of our boys; yet the Board has felt that the time was not opportune for asking for grants for manual-training buildings, although these are badly needed, especially at some of the district high schools where the rural courses have to be provided for. At Kaikoura a strenuous effort is being made at the present time to raise sufficient funds to provide a memorial training-room. The Department has promised £300, provided half that amount is raised locally. Hokitika is also moving in the matter of providing a more up-to-date manual-training building. Swimming and life-saving as school subjects have also received due attention during the year. Seventy-five classes were carried on. and about three thousand pupils received instruction. As far as possible all operations in connection with handwork classes have been carried out with a minimum waste of time and disorganization of school class-work, and it is hoped that educationally the maximum results have been attained. Extract prom tub Report of the Chief Instructor in Aoriculture. The year 1917 has been marked by a material increase both in interest, and progress in the work in agriculture. Of the contributory causes the institution of a system of grading, promise of recognition of the best work by the Board, the issue of a definite scheme, fuller appreciation of the value of the subject, and the McFarlane Shield each played a part in the schools of the northern area. South Canterbury and Westland schools have not yet been graded. The number of primary schools in Canterbury taking agriculture was 207, and the number of scholars receiving instruction 3,846. Early in the year the AVest Coast was visited, and agricultural instruction initiated into a dozen or more schools there. Extract prom the Report of the Assistant Agricultural Instructor. Seventy-six primary schools in South Canterbury were visited during the year, most of them several times. All were supplied with Southland Up-to-Date seed-potatoes to lie tested alongside of local seed. The results I anticipate will confirm those of last year's tests, and probably induce farmers generally to obtain their seed from farther south. lam pleased to report a still spreading interest in our potato-growing competition. Substantial results, Prom a utility point of view, are now beginning to accrue from our nursery and tree-culture work at the various schools. Some hundreds of trees of leading commercial varieties were distributed to pupils' home gardens. Upwards of 300 were taken from the Timaru Main School alone, while 170 surplus apple and pear stocks from Glen-iti and Southburn school nurseries were* used to stock other gardens. One hundred trees from the High School nurseries were planted in school residence gardens. I hope in a season or two to have a, good orchard established at, all suitable school residences. Throughout South Canterbury generally the gardens give ample evidence of care and attention from both teachers and pupils. In addition to our usual routine work we are making an effort to save mangel, turnip, and carrot seed from selected roots.

OTAGO. Extract from the Report' of tub Inspectors of Schools. To our remarks on handwork last year we have little to add, except to state that we are pleased to record that the number of teachers who look upon the subject as a powerful educational factor and as an aid to instruction in other subjects is increasing, and that fewer arc now treating .it as an isolated subject in a watertight compartment. The instruction given in woodwork classes held in Dunedin and in the different centres is of a satisfactory character; but at the Dunedin centres the classes are too large, and in order to relieve the congestion the establishment of a third centre is absolutely necessary. In cookery and domestic economy good practical work has been done at all centres, but more theoretical instruction should be given in order to familiarize the pupils with principles. Extract prom the Education Board's Report. The importance of the school-garden as an educational factor and as a means of bringing the child into sympathy with his environment is now generally recognized. Dining the past year elementary agricultural instruction has, under the supervision of the Board's instructors in agriculture, been associated with the other subjects of the curriculum in 196 schools, and in many of these very effective work is being done. In six of the district high schools the full rural-science course has been followed. In these schools the permeation of the ordinary subjects with agricultural science paves the way for an intelligent appreciation of the principles upon which the best practice of the art of agriculture is based. Pupils from thirty-one schools participated in the instruction in swimming, the average attendance fcfeirrg 786 boys and 697 girls. The cost of the classes was £198 17s. 7d.. while the amount of Government capitation earned was .£lB7 10s.

SOUTHLAND. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Elementary Handwork. —ln practically all the schools of the district some form of handwork was taught during the .year, plasticine-modelling and paper-folding being the branches most commonly taken in the lower classes, and cardboard-modelling in the upper. Requisites for many forms of handwork have been almost or entirely unprocurable, and, as regards such supplies as were obtainable, the chief source of anxiety was due to the fact that though in every case prices had advanced—in some materials over 100 per cent. —yet there has not been any corresponding increase in the capitation wherewith to replenish stocks. Of necessity, therefore, the supplies available to teachers had to be somewhat curtailed. That the work should suffer such restriction is to be regretted, the more so in view of the general recognition by educationists of the fact that in these manipulative exercises, judicially co-ordinated with other subjects of the syllabus, lies one of the most potent factors in a child's educational development. It cannot be said, however, that in every school this aspect of Ihe work is fully appreciated; in some it, is to be feared these subjects are regarded as but useful media for lending variety to the day's work and keeping little hands pleasantly employed with the exercise of a minimum of disciplinary control. As regards colour work, the use of pastels in the lower classes as a means to enable a child to give concrete expression to ideas of form and colour has considerably increased, and some very interesting work from even the youngest: pupils has been seen. For the upper classes brushwork is still largely taken, but it is noted that there is a, gradual falling-off in the number of schools where this form of drawing receives attention. In all schools beyond a reasonable distance from a manual-training centre cardboard-w r ork has been taken in the upper standards, and where it was impossible for children to receive instruction in woodwork and cookery no better handwork subject could be selected. Apart from its value as a means of cultivating manual dexterity, this subject, in the hands of the intelligent teacher, can be made one of the best media for giving concrete illustration to various lessons in arithmetic and instrumental drawing. During the year a booklet on card-board-modelling was issued by the instructor for the teachers' Saturday classes, and, recognizing its usefulness for school purposes, the Board decided to purchase the available supply and resell to teachers at half-price. It is satisfactory to record that practically every copy has been disposed of. Woodwork and, Cookery .—The number of schools that received instruction in these subjects shows a slight increase over the figures for last year, the numbers for each centre being as follows : Invercargill, 36; Gore, 22; Riverton. 14. In addition two classes in each subject from the High School received instruction at Gore, and for one day per week the instructors in the Invercargill No. 1 centre had charge of classes from the Technical High School. The number of primary-school children in attendance at the various centres was as follows: Invercargill, 639 boys, 556 girls; Gore, 364 boys, 314 girls; Riverton, 127 boys, 123 girls. Altogether, therefore, 1,130 boys and 993 girls received a course of instruction at one or other of the manual-training centres. A new building for the No. 2 cookery centre was commenced during the year, and the rooms, it is hoped, will shortly be ready for occupation. Towards the close of the year the annual exhibition of work done in the cookery and woodwork classes was held in the Museum Hall, and, as Usual, attracted considerable attention. In addition to this, however, an innovation was made at the Winter Show of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association by provision being made for competitions in cookery and woodwork, as well as for school-garden products. The display made in all branches received unstinted praise, and it was generally recognized that the exhibits of school-work formed one of the most attractive features of the show, and demonstrated very plainly the value of the instruction being imparted. Elementary Agriculture, —Work in this subject was carried on during the year in 109 schools, an increase of five over the figures of the previous year. The reports of the agricultural instructor indicate that an ever-increasing interest is being taken in school-garden work, the majority of teachers realizing some, at any rate, of the possibilities of this subject in the way of stimulating the intellectual development of their charges through the facilities afforded for accurate observation and sound reasoning. Tt cannot be said, however, that in all schools the subject received that intelligent treatment that is essential where the educative value of the work is properly appreciated. In too many cases still the untidy and neglected appearance of the plots tells its own tale. It is unfortunate that just at the period when the garden requires constant attention the continuity of the work should be broken by the summer vacation, but it should surely be possible to arrange with some of the pupils living in the immediate vicinity to devote a little time occasionally to the keeping of the plots in moderately good order. In a number of the schools the work carried on during the year was really excellent, and the fact that the children of their own accord spent a good deal of their spare time in keeping everything in first-class order bears testimony to the deep interest the teachers had been able to arouse in the work. During the year the Board decided to offer prizes for the best-kept school-gardens, the schools for this purpose being grouped in classes according to grades. With a view at the same time to improving the appearance of the grounds generally it was stipulated that in making the awards due consideration would be given to any efforts made to increase the general attractiveness of the school surroundings. It, is pleasing to note that in an increasing number of schools Committees and teachers are beginning to recognize their responsibilities in this direction, the tastefully laid out and neatly kept grounds surrounding some sohools being most creditable. Taking advantage of the assistance granted by the Department to schools raising money for improvement purposes fourteen schools forwarded applications amounting to .£64 9s. 3d. for subsidies on voluntary contributions in aid of school gardens and grounds. To the local mercantile firms the Board was this year again indebted for donations of manure amounting in all to a value of .£l3 ss. 6d.

This enabled each garden to receive a fair supply. In view of the scarcity and high price of grass-seed efforts were again made to get children interested in the gathering of coofcsfoot, and the collections forwarded to this office realized £42 13s. 4d. In addition to this it is known that a considerable amount was gathered by other school-children and sold direct to the seed-merchants. Advanced Needlework. —Work in this subject was carried ou during the year in forty schools on similar lines to those of last year, the making of garments for patriotic purposes occupying a prominent place in the scheme of work. From the material provided by the Board over fifteen hundred children's garments were made, and with the exception of a number which were handed over to the League of Social Service for local distribution amongst the needy all were forwarded Home for the benefit of those in distress through the war. The girls in all the schools where advanced needlework was carried on entered most enthusiastically into the work, and the results were a credit alike to teachers and pupils. Other Subjects. —As regards the work in other manual subjects there is little that calls for special comment. In physical measurements the number of schools receiving instruction was eleven—the same as for the two previous years. In classes for swimming and life-saving there was a reduction, there being only five schools where instruction was given, and in some of them unfavourable weather prevented the course from being completed. It is much to be regretted that out of the whole district there should be so few schools where instruction is given in this most, important subject. The following are the number of schools taking various manual subjects (excluding elementary handwork): Elementary agriculture. 109; physical measurements, 11; advanced needlework, 42; swimming and life-saving, 5; elementary physiology and first aid, 2; woodwork and cookery, 72; standard needlework (special instructors), 23.

APPENDIX ]). TRAINING OF TEACHERS. No. 1. EXTRACT FROM THE FORTY-FIRST 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 who have obtained the necessary educational qualification ; 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 1917 under the various divisions were- -Division A, 414 ; Division B, 32 ; Division C, 1 ; and Division D, 4: the total being 451, as compared with 442 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 1916 and 1917 respectively are indicated in the following table : — r 1916. , , 191.7. , Men. Women. Total. Men. Women. Total. Auckland . . . . .. 2!) 85 114 20 97 117 Wellington .. ..

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 1917 was 211. 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 also extended so as to embrace specially selected teachers and classes in neighbouring schools. The reports of the results of the latter aids to training are very favourable, and the extension of the system is recommended by Principals. Each normal school includes — (a) a main school, organized as a " mixed school " ; and (b) such " model schools " as may be approved by the Minister, each model school being of one of the following types : (i) A rural public school under a soleteacher ; (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

[Appendix D.

district high school; (iv) a class for backward children ; (v) a junior kindergarten. Special legislation was passed in 1917 providing for the staffing of classes for backward children and for public schools established as model schools, and a class for backward children was opened in Auckland in a specially designed modern building erected at the cost of a private donor. Students receive their theoretical instruction from the training-college staff, and also attend University college classes to a considerable extent. A certain proportion of students attempt degree work in conjunction with their training-college work, although this double course is discouraged except in cases of specially suited students. Divisions A, B, and C students satisfactorily completing the prescribed course of work at the training college may, on the recommendation of the Principal, receive without further examination a trained teacher's certificate ranking with the Class C or Class D certificate, as may be determined. Of the students beginning a two years' course in 1916, 3 held Class C certificates and 59 Class D certificates at the time of entry ; and- at the end of the course, out of 206 students, 13 held Class B certificates, 129 Class C certificates, and 47 Class D certificates, the remaining students having secured sectional passes. The amounts paid to Education Boards in 1916-17 and 1917-18 for the training of teachers were as follows :— I. Training colleges— 1916-17, 1917-18. Salaries of staffs (two-fifths charged to public-school £ £ salaries) .. .. ..

Provision for Uncertificated Teachers. Apart from the provision for training colleges, a grant of £2,900 was made last year to Education Boards for the maintenance of training classes for teachers, the amounts allotted to the various Boards ranging from £150 to £650. 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.

Of the twenty-two men who entered College in March, 1916, only three (all medically unfit for military service) remained to the end of 1917. During the year fifteen students left for camp. Since war began 158 students and ex-students have joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force ; of these thirty-one have been wounded and twenty killed. The Principal and three members of the staff also joined the Forces ; of these one has been wounded and one killed. As in previous years, the plan of College work provided an alternation in such a way that while during the first half-term the first-year students are studying,'attending lectures, &■<;., in College, the second-year students are at work in the Normal School observing and practising methods of teaching. At the end of the half-term the position was reversed, the first-year students then taking their turn in the school. The same plan was carried out in the second term, but in the third term an alternation of weeks instead of half-terms was arranged, so that all might have equal opportunities of preparing for examinations. Twelve associated teachers of classes in. external schools helped in the practical training ol students who were allotted to their classes in these schools. On the whole this plan for increasing the facilities lor practical training as far as possible under ordinary conditions has been very satisfactory. It seems evident that with increasing numbers in the College we shall need to extend this system more and more_ To ensure that the observation and practice of teaching should he as helpful as possible to the students model lessons were given regularly throughout the year by the Acting-Principal, the headmaster, and the kindergarten mistress. These, followed the method lessons and discussions on the various school subjects, so that the closest union should exist between the theory and the practice. Free discussion and criticism of methods, which have, always characterized the College, have proved stimulating, and led to a good spirit in the, practical work. A wish not only to use good methods but also to apply them practically and effectively has been evident. The results should be far-reaching. On the, study side the College has provided the usual courses required by the regulations, and other desirable ones such as voice-production and life-saving. Dr. Macdonald also gave a short course of medical lectures. • Those students who attempted a University degree course, as well as the ordinary Training College work had an exceedingly busy year, and applied themselves with admirable diligence —probably with considerable success. It is confidently expected that two have qualified for the M.A. degree, and a number of others for a section ol the B.A. The work of other students attending certain courses of University lectures as required for the Training College, course was not in all cases satisfactory, though in one or two subjects good work was done. I have reason to hope that a much better result will be attained in the coming year 1. regret to state that several students suffered from temporary breakdowns to health during the year. In at least two cases these could be attributed to overwork. Apart from some, five or six cases the health has, however, been good in spite of trying conditions. Owing to the University lectures having to be attended during evenings the, College day is generally a, long one, and meals tend to be. scrappy and irregular. As in previous years, great emphasis was placed on physical fitness throughout the year, and every encouragement was given to students to keep themselves well. There can be no doubt of the beneficial effect of the College sport on the physical and mental well-being of the majority of the students. The work of the various departments of the Normal School has been carried on vigorously by the acting-headmaster and staff, who have been untiring in their efforts on behalf of pupils and students. In spite of all the difficulties particularly besetting a, practising school, the Normal School maintains its popularity in an unusual degree, many pupils being unable to find admission to its full classes. On the sth June the special class for backward children was opened in the modern building provided for the purpose in Myers Park by the Hon. Arthur Myers, who had spared no expense in providing the finest accommodation. The building is so constructed as to give practically open-air conditions The class contains twelve boys and ten girls, all ten years of age or younger. Two of the boys when found to be mental defectives and consequently unsuitable for this type of school were withdrawn; two others left because the distance from their homes was too great, and one left to attend a boardingschool. All the others are making very satisfactory progress under the thorough individual attention of their capable and enthusiastic teacher, Miss M. Bayliss, The parents have been very appreciative of the careful training their children receive. The work goes on so brightly that it is difficult to realize that this is a class of backward children, most of whom were specially recommended for admission by headmasters of neighbouring schools. Following the custom of previous years, visits of observation were paid by the students to such places as Mount Eden, Judges' Bay, the Museum, the Art Gallery, and the Herald Printing-works. With the year 1917 will always be associated the death of our Principal, Second Lieutenant \l. A. E. Milnes, who fell on the 4th October while leading the A Company of the 3rd Auckland Battalion, 4th Brigade, in the great attack on the Passchendaele Ridge. The sad news reached College by cable on the 12th October, and cast a heavy gloom over all. As a mark of respect College and school were closed until the following Tuesday, and a memorial service was held in St. Paul's Church on the 31st October. Mr. Milnes has left behind him a memory that will not easily fade. He was beloved to an unusual degree by those among whom he worked, and few have felt his loss so keenly as the members of his staff and the students he trained. With an esteem as strong as this affection, we, learned to admire him as a man wholly enthusiastic in his professional work, combining a strength of purpose in attaining his aims with a remarkable kindness and generosity towards those around him. His mission seemed to be the bringing of the greatest degree of happiness possible to those with and for whom he worked. By precept and example he unceasingly urged his students to bring sunshine

into their work. .1 believe that his trappy, healthy influence will have far-reaching results in the primary schools of our province, and the lives of many will be. better and brighter from the fact that this large-hearted Englishman spent eleven years in New Zealand. All who knew Mr. Milnes well will realize how much the College has gained from having as its head a man of such exceptionally fine character; how much it has lost through his death. It may be truly said of him that both in living a_4 dying he, gave his best to his adopted country. WELLINGTON. Statistics. —The first session opened on the 27th February, and the last closed on the 12th December, The year began with a roll of 120 students ; 4 left and (i enlisted during the session, thus leaving 110 at the end of the year. Of the total of .120, 56 (4 men and 52 women) were seniors, and (il (10 men and 54 women) were juniors. There wore IH in Division A, sin Division B, and 1 in Division C. Of the 114 " A " students, 44 had been pupil-teachers and 70 probationers. Course of Training. The course, of study as prescribed by regulations was arranged as follows : Principles and history of education (senior class), hygiene, child-study, and nature-study, the Principal; method, the headmaster; physiography, agriculture, and geography, Mr. E. K. Lomas, M.A., M.Sc. ; kindergarten method, Miss Maitland; domestic science and needlework, Miss L. Wilson, B.Sc.; music, Mr. R. Parker; handwork, Mr. Howe; drawing, &c, Mr. Vivian Smith-(of the Technical College staff) ; physical training, Mr. Lomas and Miss Hetherington, M.A. In addition to this prescribed course Miss Hetherington gave special courses in English literature, history, phonetics, and the history of education, arid Dr. Patterson one in first, aid. The attendance at University classes was as follows : Latin, 29 ; French, 15 ; German, I : English, 44 ; psychology, &c, 32 ; education, 60 ; history, 7 ; economics, 1 ; biology, 35 ; mathematics, 1.3 ; geology, 1 ; physics, 2 ; chemistry, 3. The terms-examination results from these classes were as follows : 26 students kept first-year terms, 24 students kept second-year terms, 7 students kept third-year terms ; 35 students gained first-class passes, 90 students gained second-class passes, and 137 students gained third-class passes. From these figures it will be seen that about 15 per cent, of our students are seriously working for a degree, and of these only two are specializing for the science degree. If that number of science graduates is too small (personally 1 think it is), further exemptions than those now allowed by the Training College regulations must be granted to approved students. Secondary-school conditions are, still such, that too many of our brighter students are practically compelled to take a purely literary course, and as a result it is extremely difficult to find sufficient teachers for the district-high-school work where a good knowledge of science is essential. Fifty-six students completed their course of training in December, and the joint results of the external examinations and our Training College recommendations are as follows : " D " certificate, 1; " D " and partial "C "' certificate, 19 ; "C " certificate, 34 ; " B " certificate, 2 : total, 56. As in previous years, the bulk of the serious teaching practice was placed in the student's second year (approximately two-thirds). Early in the year six associated teachers were appointed (under Regulation 4 (2) ), and each of the senior students spent a fortnight with one of those teachers. The results were so successful that we hope to be able to extend the practice. The War. -The war has exacted a toll this year of fifteen wounded and six killed in action (names are published in Appendix Bto E.-l). The question of soldier students being enabled to satisfactorily complete their training after the war is probably the most pressing problem of the hour for us, and I would ask your Board, to consider it as soon as possible, During February the usual school for uncertificated teachers was held at the College. CHRISTCHURCH. (Extract from Report ot- Acting-Principal.) The Principal. —Mr. Foster's sudden and severe illness towards the end of the College year, followed by a slow convalescence, made extended leave a necessity. The Board relieved him from duty for six months, and it is hoped that at the end of that period he may be able to resume his work in the Training College. At the beginning of 1917 fifty-four students were admitted, and these, with the fifty-six senior students who returned to complete their second year of training, made a total roll of 110. During the year this number was reduced. Of the twenty-one men students, four seniors and three juniors enlisted for active service. Two women students were, allowed to withdraw early in the year, and one was absent on account of a long and severe illness. The total number in attendance at the end of the year was then 100. Among those entering the Training College were two who had served with early Expeditionary Forces on Gallipoli and had been discharged on account of wounds. In 1917 forty-four students were admitted under Division A. For too large a proportion of this group was it found necessary to provide instruction in subjects that would enable, them to complete the " D " certificate. Six were admitted with the lower leaving certificate as a qualification, and of these, three students had five subjects, one had eight, one had eleven, and one had four groups to pass before

obtaining a" D " certificate. Among the twenty-seven who entered on the Matriculation qualification, one student had to pass in five subjects, two in six subjects, one in nine subjects, one in ten subjects, and one in eleven subjects in order to gain a, "D " certificate. Assistance for these small divisions of students while attending the Training College absorbs a large share of the attention of the staff, whose energies could be better employed over a much wider field. The work of the students in their professional training has, in general, followed the lines indicated in hist year's report. Practice in teaching, observation of methods in the class-rooms, demonstration lessons by members of the staff before, large sections of the students, discussions of the principles of teaching after special lessons, and a period in each of the model schools, gives in broad outline the plan adopted in training for the actual work of teaching. With the release of several rooms in the Normal School, consequent on the Board's removal to new offices, it is proposed to give students in their second year more continuous and more responsible control of drafts from the standard classes. A course of lectures by Dr. Eleanor Baker on school and personal, hygiene was given to the senior students, who also attended the medical examination of the children of the Normal School. These lectures, followed by expert demonstrations, should be of the greatest value. A course of physical instruction was taken, throughout the year by the students. This probably helped to maintain the high standard of health, although other factors may have played an equally important part. The activities of a Ramblers Club and the excursions of the physiography class for field-work, necessitating frequent walks on the hills, probably contributed in no small measure to the physical welfare of the students. DUNEDIN. Members. —There went out at the close of last year fifty-eight second-year students (viz., twelve men and forty-six women) and three one-year students. Of these there gained certificates as follows : Thirty-six gained a, full " C " ; eleven gained a " C " less one subject, and in three cases two subjects ; Wye gained "D " ; two gained "I) " less one subject. Three qualified for "B " in three subjects by passing first section of B.A. Examination; one qualified for "B" in four subjects by passing first section of B.A. Examination ; five qualified for "B " in two subjects by passing the Proficiency Examination of the New Zealand University. There entered this year sixty-one viz., fourteen men and forty-seven women. During the year two left sick, and three men of the new entrants went, into camp. There are now belonging fifty-two second-year students (viz., three men and forty-nine women) and fifty-six first-year students (viz., ten men and forty-six women) : total, 108. (lasses taken and distribution of work were as follows during the year :

University results for the year (class results only to hand as yet) : Seven firsts, ninety-one seconds, 135 thirds an improvement on last year. Medical Inspection.- The annual course of lectures was not given to the students this year by Dr.. McCahon. The senior students did the usual practical work of assisting the doctor in the Normal School medical inspection of scholars. The corrective classes for physically defective children have been regularly held throughout the year. Teaching practice has been carried on throughout the year in the Normal School and in six other schools under twelve associated teachers. Each senior student aims to spend one month continuous observation, and practice in each standard, and also one month in a model school, and at least (in case of women) three weeks in a kindergarten class. All observation and practice is continuous for a month at a time, using four mornings a week and -three afternoons each alternate week. It will be seen that a rather absurd position obtains- viz., that the majority of the students do seven-eighths of their practice with large classes, whereas most of them go out to teach country schools. This could only be obviated by establishing another normal school, making each room a model country school instead of an ordinary class-room. The war has affected us great'y. Only thirteen men were left at the close of the year. Practically all fit students who have gone out since the war started are at the front. Of those who have gone straight from College to the front without teaching, five have lost their lives. The year has been rather gloomy, as most of the students have lost either relatives or friends. On the whole, the work of the College has given me great satisfaction this year. The students have been interested in their work, and the staff have done their very best to further the welfare ol the institution.
