EDUCATION: TEACHERS' SUPERANNUATION FUND. [In continuation of E.-9, 1917.]

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

TWELFTH REPOET OF THE TEACHERS' SUPERANNUATION BOARD For the Year ended 31st December, 1917. The Hon. the Minister of Education. Sir,— Wellington, 28th March, 1918. The Board has to submit the following report for the year ended the 31st December, 1917: — The Board. —The usual quarterly meetings of the Board were held in February, May, August, and November. During the year Dr. F. Fitchett resigned his seat on the Board on his retirement from the Public Service, and Mr. R. Triggs was appointed by the GovernorGeneral in Council to fill the vacancy. Mr. W. L. Dunn was appointed Secretary to the Board, vice Mr. F. K. de Castro, who retired from the Public Service on superannuation. Contributors. —The number of contributors increased from 4,653 at the end of 1916 to 4,792 at the end of 1917, an increase of 139. Table A shows the contributors arranged according to percentage of contribution, together with the number admitted and left during the year. Retiring and other Allowances. —Allowances amounting to £5,049 9s. were granted during the year. The total annual rate payable at the end of the year was £47,478 15s. Twenty-five allowances were discontinued by death, and eleven from other causes —viz., one .widow's allowance ceased on her remarriage, seven children attained the age of fourteen years, and the allowances of three annuitants retired as medically unfit were cancelled on the ground that the annuitants had recovered sufficiently to re-enter the teaching service. The number of deaths amongst annuitants shows a considerable increase over the average number for previous years. In 1916 the number was only eleven, as compared with twenty-five in 1917. Income. —The total income for the year was £93,752, made up as follows :—- -£ Members'ordinary contributions .. .. .. 58,070 Government subsidy .. . . .". ..17,000 Interest from Public Trustee .. .. .. 18,289 Interest on arrears of contributions .. .. . . 211 Contributions transferred from other funds . . . . 182 Total for year .. .. .. £93,752

It will be seen, on reference to the balance-sheet, that considerable amounts of contributions and interest were outstanding at the end of the year, the figures being £2,452 10s. lid. and £864 18s. sd. respectively. That these sums are so large is due to the fact that many of the contributors who failed to join in 1906, and who were admitted in 1913 under section 5 of the amending Act of 1912, have not yet paid up the full amount of arrears due from the Ist January, 1906, payment of which was a condition of their admission. The regulations allow them to pay the arrears by annual or monthly instalments. Of outstandings on the 31st December, 1916, the sums of £964 3s. lid. contributions and £124 16s. interest were paid off in 1917. Expenditure. —The allowances paid to contributors who have retired and to dependants of deceased contributors and annuitants amounted to £45,122 3s. 5d., an increase of £3,120 14s. 7d. over the amount for 1916. . A considerable number of annuitants were temporarily re-employed during the year, and in many cases their allowances were reduced in accordance with the provisions of section 14 (2) of the Act. The amount thus saved to the fund in 1917 was approximately £1,286. Refunds of contributions on voluntary retirement from the Education service amounted to £5,185 9s. lid., the refunds to personal representatives of deceased contributors amounted to £2,850 35., while contributions amounting to £87 ss. 2d. were transferred, to other superannuation funds. Administration Expenses. —These amounted to £555 15s. sd. Included in this sum is an item of £250, being the amount charged by the Education Department for clerical, assistance. No part of the salary of the Secretary of the Board is, however, included in that item, the whole of his salary, in terms of the Act, being a charge on the Consolidated Fund. Net Revenue. —The total for the year was £39,067, as compared with £40,756 in 1916, a decrease of £1,689. Accumulated Funds. —These amounted at the end of the year to £420,225 6s. Government Subsidy. —The Government subsidy of £17,000 was received during the first quarter of the year. The total subsidies paid by the Government since the inception of the fund amount to £118,000. Investment of the Fund. —The fund has been receiving interest on daily balances in the hands of the Public Trustee of 4j per cent, on the first £6,000 and 4| per cent, on the remainder. The rates are the maximum allowed by the Public Trust Office Act for moneys in the Common Fund of that office. As stated last year, the Board is of opinion that a higher rate of interest could be earned by special investment of the Teachers' Superannuation Fund moneys, and it is hoped to conclude an arrangement with the Public Trustee in this connection which will secure for the fund the current rates of interest. It must be noted, however, that in 1917 the fund received from the Public Trustee a bonus of £1,544 ss. 7d., being 10 per cent, of the interest earned by the fund during the period Ist April, 1916, to 31st March, 1917, this bonus being paid under recent legislative provision authorizing the distribution pro rata among the estates in the Common Fund of the Public Trust Office of a certain portion of the profits of that office. This raised the rate of interest to approximately 4-63 per cent. Actuarial Investigation. —The Actuary, in his report of his investigation of the fund for the years 1911, 1912, and 1913, recommended that the Government's annual subsidy should be increased from £17,000 to £33,000. Owing to the war conditions, however, the Government could not see its way to pay the increased subsidy. The report of the Actuary on his investigation of the fund for the years 1914, 1915, and 1916 has now been received, in which he recommends that the subsidy should be £43,000, but for the reason stated the Government has again decided that it cannot at present provide an increased subsidy. It may be noted that the annual subsidy is fixed by statute, and any alteration in the amount requires legislation. The Actuary in his last report (E.-9A, 1917) suggests an alternative course (in one or other of two forms) of fixing the subsidy automatically on the basis of the annual contributions of members, with or without, as the case might be, an annual payment for the creation of a slinking fund sufficient to extinguish the accumulated deficiency in. seventy-five years. The alternative course (in either form) would avoid any delay or uncertainty consequent on the

obligation to have recourse to legislation periodically, but it is open to the objection that it would entail a heavier demand on the public funds in the earlier years, a factor which prevented its being favourably considered by the Government under present conditions. The matter will be brought before the Government for further consideration when opportunity offers. Contributors on Active Service. —The number of contributors who joined the Expeditionary Force up to the end of 1917 was 483. Of this number sixty-three have been killed in action or died of wounds or disease, while forty have returned to New Zealand and have resumed the duties of their previous positions. Thirtyone of the deaths occurred in 1917, Of the deceased contributors fifty-five were unmarried, and their contributions to the fund (together with the amounts paid by the Government on their behalf up to the date of their decease), amounting to £2,494 Os. Id., were refunded to their respective estates. One contributor was survived by a widow and three children under the age of fourteen years, two contributors by a widow and one child under the age of fourteen years, and five by widows only, to each of whom the usual allowance was granted. As previously intimated, the Government has undertaken to pay the contributions of members during the period they are members of the Expeditionary Force. The amount thus paid by the Government in 1917 amounted to £3,865 Os. 5d., making a total since the beginning of the war of £7,938 18s. 3d. Retirements under extended Provisions of Act. —It was intimated in last year's report that after much consideration the Board had adopted a different policy in regard to retirements under the extended provisions of section 12 of the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908. The schedules of deductions from allowances in such cases hitherto adopted by the Board were ascertained to be actuarially unsound, and the schedules were accordingly cancelled. Each application is now considered on its merits. Under the amended practice the Board ascertains the full actuarial deduction in each case — i.e., it ascertains what deduction should lie made from the allowance to compensate the fund for the benefit received by the contributor by early retirement. If the application is granted the allowance is awarded subject to the full actuarial deduction, except that if in the opinion of the Board special circumstances exist which render the retirement desirable the Board may reduce the deduction. In all cases, however, the deductions will be substantially heavier than those hitherto imposed. All retirements under this section of the Act, and the conditions on which such retirements may be granted, are subject to the approval of the Minister of Education. During the past year only four retirements were approved under the above conditions, as compared with eight in 1916 and nine in 1915. Pupil-teachers. —Judging from the number of inquiries made recently as to whether pupil-teachers are eligible to become contributors to the fund it does not appear to be known generally among the teaching profession that pupil-teachers may elect to become contributors to the fund under the provisions of section 23 of the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908. Several Education Boards bring the matter under the notice of their pupil-teachers when the latter are appointed, with the result that many of them join the fund. In the majority of education districts, however, no pupil-teachers become members of the fund until such time as they are compelled to do so on receiving permanent appointments as teachers after becoming certificated. The question as to whether the right of these young teachers to join the fund should be continued is one requiring serious consideration. Their admission at such an early age (usually sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen years) imposes a very heavy liability on the fund, for in their early years as pupil-teachers and trainingcollege students they pay contributions on very small salaries, but count the period so spent as full time for superannuation purposes. When it is remembered that male contributors have a legal right to retire on superannuation after forty years' service, and female contributors after thirty years' service, it is apparent that if they retire at the age of fifty-six, fifty-seven, or fifty-eight (in the case of men), and at the age of forty-six, forty-seven, or forty-eight (in the case of women), the fund will in most cases be required to provide their allowances for a very considerable number of years. The Board has already had to grant allowances to women of forty-five years of age. The question will no doubt have to be seriously considered as to whether a minimum age, say of twenty or twenty-one years, should not be a condition of eligibility for membership.

Unclaimed Contributions. —It seems extraordinary that the fund should hold such, a large sum as £610 on account of persons who have ceased to be contributors to the fund. The names of the persons entitled to the money have been repeatedly advertised in the Journal of Education, but without any response in the majority of cases. One ex-contributor is entitled to an amount of just over £100. General. —War conditions have affected the fund in several ways which are worthy of notice. The net increase in the number of contributors during the year was only 139, as compared with 175 in 1916 and 252 in 1915. The numbers of new contributors admitted in the last three years were 398, 428, and 522 in 1917, 1916, and 1915 respectively. The falling-off is primarily due to the decrease in the number of teachers' certificates granted by the Education Department. In 1915 373 certificates were granted, as compared with only 290 in 1917. It is probably further accounted for by the fact that a great many appointments to public schools are, during the war, of a temporary character only. It is not compulsory for a certificated teacher on his first appointment to a public school to become a contributor to the fund if he is appointed to a temporary position, and, although legislative provision has been made for such teachers during the currency of the war to elect to become contributors, very few of them apparently avail themselves of the opportunity. It may be noted that by regulations under the Statute Law Amendment Act, 1917, any certificated teacher may be permanently appointed to any position in a public school while he is on active service, and if this is his first permanent appointment he must then become a contributor to the fund. The fact that he is unable to take up the duties of his position does not affect the matter, for his appointment may date from a time fixed by the Education Board. This provision is of considerable advantage to young teachers leaving the training colleges for military service. Were it not for some such provision many of them would not be eligible to become contributors until they had received permanent appointments on their return to teaching duties, and their position in regard to length of service for superannuation purposes would then compare very unfavourably with that of their fellow students who were ineligible or unfit for military service and who received appointments on completion of their training-college courses. The allowances granted during the year to contributors amounted to £4,716 95., as compared with £6,449 Bs. in 1916, a decrease of £1,732 19s. Although section 29 of the War Legislation Act, 1917, provides that during the currency of the war no allowance may be granted to a contributor unless his retirement has been approved by the Minister of Education, the large decrease was not due to this restrictive legislation, seeing that the Act referred to was not passed until the 31st October, 1917. Education Boards had prior to the passing of this legislation asked teachers eligible to retire on superannuation to remain in the service, and many of them, actuated by patriotic motives, did so. Practically the only retirements were those of teachers whose health had to a certain degree become impaired. Any contributor who is retained in the service by virtue of the provision referred to may elect to cease his contributions to the fund, and if he does so his allowance will be calculated, when his retirement actually takes place, as at the date on which he ceased his contributions. It might, have been expected from the reduction in the amount of allowances granted, and from the unusually large number of allowances which lapsed during the year by death or expiry (thirty-nine allowances amounting to £2,242 95., as compared with twenty-one allowances amounting to £1,083 3s. in 1916) that there would have been an increase in the net revenue over that of 1916. As stated above, however, the net revenue for 1917 compared with that of 1916 shows a decrease of £1,689, which is no doubt accounted for by the increase in the amount which was refundable in the case of deceased contributors and to the falling-off in the number of new contributors.
