No. I.—EXTRACT FEOM THE REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. PRIMARY EDUCATION. Number of Public Schools. (Tables Al and 83.) The number of public schools open at the end of 1918 was 2,365, as against 2,368 for the year 1917, a decrease of 3. In the following table the schools .are classified according to the yearly average attendance, and the total number, of children at the schools in each grade is shown.

For the number of schools in each education district classified according to grade, reference should be made to Table Al. It will be observed that of 2,365 schools, 1,768 were in Grades I-III A, having average attendances ranging from 9 to 80, and of these 672 had averages ranging from 9 to 20. Of 171,000 children, nearly 24,000 are in sole-teacher schools with averages ranging from 1 to 35, and nearly 79,000 children are in schools with an average number of pupils of more than 280. Public School Buildings. During the year ending 31st March, 1919, applications were received by the Department from Education Boards for grants for new public-school buildings, additions, residences, sites, &c, to a total amount of £238,817. This is apart from schools established in buildings for which no grant is made except by way of rent. The departmental expenditure for the year was £80,780, and at the end of the financial year the commitments totalled £98,000. Thirty-five new schools of varying sizes were erected, and fifty-six were enlarged. A considerable number of works for which grants had been authorized were delayed owing to the difficulty in procuring the necessary labour and, in some cases, the necessary materials. During the war the Educations Boards restricted the applications for grants to cases that were regarded as of. pressing urgency. The result was that in growing centres the school accommodation became overtaxed to a degree that could be justified only by the necessity for exercising the, strictest economy in the expenditure of public funds. Where, under normal conditions, additional rooms would have been, provided, the best use was made of the existing accommodation, or temporary provision for the increase in the attendance was made by renting such halls as were available, and where new schools were required every possible expedient' to avoid the erection of buildings. These temporary arrange-

ments were more or less in character. The rented buildings were sometimes unlined, poorly lit, and otherwise unsuitable for educational purposes and for occupation by children. With the close of the war Education Boards are now desirous that the school accommodation should be brought up to a reasonable standard in adequacy and comfort, and, as indicating the views the Boards take of their requirements for new schools, additions to existing schools, and the requisite sites, it may be mentioned that while the grants applied for during the first six months of last year totalled £67,000, those for the corresponding period of the current year totalled £196,000. As has been pointed out in former reports, many of the older schooljbuildings, as judged by modern standards, are defective in important features such as ventilation, lighting, shape and size of class-rooms, &c. In other countries also the educational authorities, in their official reports, note that similar conditions obtain. Though the high cost of building at the present time may prohibit the adoption of a general scheme of reconstruction, some of the oldest schools are so badly constructed as to demand attention at the earliest possible opportunity. In some cases the most outstanding defects can be remedied by rearranging the existing accommodation and by otherwise improving the conditions, but in others remodelling is not possible, and entirely new buildings must be provided. Of late years the plans submitted to the Department in connection with applications for grants have been more and more closely scrutinized, with a view to ensuring that they conform to the recognized principles of school-construction and admit of economical extension of the building should additions subsequently be found necessary. The adoption of this course, in conjunction with discussion between officers of the Board and the Department, has led to the erection of better schools, and to the adoption of a desirable measure of standardization of the class-room as the unit of school accommodation. During the war the erection of teachers' residences practically ceased, but Education Boards are now submitting a number of applications that are regarded as urgent. This question of providing accommodation for the teacher is a difficult one to deal with. The need for residences is felt most in connection with schools of the lower grades, and it is to this class of school that most of the existing residences are attached. Yet so frequent are the changes in the teachers of small schools that there is no certainty that, if a residence is provided, it will be permanently occupied. One teacher may prefer to live in the residence; the next teacher may prefer to board. Again, the ebb and flow of population and the consequent fluctuations in the attendance at a school may result in the appointment of a married man where there was formerly an unmarried teacher, or vice versa, and the need for a residence waxes and wanes correspondingly. Indeed, at the present time there are upwards of one hundred residences unoccupied by teachers. Some of these are let, while others are vacant. The most common reason assigned for the teacher's failure to occupy the residence is that the teacher is a single woman and boards in the district. Owing to the difficulties of the case the Department prefers to pay house allowance, and has adopted a policy of not erecting a residence unless no other course appears possible. During the year a substantial sum for the improvement of teachers' residences by providing bathrooms and washhouses was approved by Cabinet, and Education Boards were requested to supply the Department with a statement of their most urgent needs in this respect. For the financial year 1918-19 the appropriation for public-school buildings was much higher than in any previous year —viz., £160,000. For 1917-18 the appropriation was £75,000. Unfortunately, when present and pre-war buildingconditions are taken into account, the substantial increase in the amount of the appropriations does not enable a correspondingly increased amount of work to be carried out. Roll Number. (Tables Bl and 82.) The number of children in attendance at public schools in 1918, as shown by the mean of the average weekly roll for the four quarters of the year, was 1-8 per

».—2.

cent, greater than in the previous year. The following figures show the average weekly roll number and the roll number at the end of 1918 : —

The percentage increase in the average roll during the last five years has been as follows: 1914, 3-6 per cent. ; 1915, 3-2 per cent. ; 1916, 1-6 per cent. ; 1917, 2-1 per cent. ; 1918, 1-8 per cent. ; the increase in 1918 not being so great as it has been in previous years. The increased numbers are spread over the children of all classes with the exception of S7, and more especially of the preparatory classes. The number of pupils in the preparatory classes and between the ages of five and six years was 950 less than in the previous year, indicating a falling-off in the number of new entrants. The increase in the roll number was greater in the North Island (including Marlborough) than in the South Island, the percentage increases being 3-0 and 1-5 respectively. The table below shows the mean average roll number for every fifth year from 1878 to 1903, and for each of the last eleven years ; the table gives also the total average attendance for each year, the average attendance as a percentage of the roll (including secondary departments of district high schools), and the number of teachers employed in the public schools.

The above figures relate to public schools. To estimate the total number of children receiving primary education in the Dominion it will be necessary to include public schools (exclusive of secondary departments of district high schools), Native schools, registered private primary schools, the lower departments of secondary schools, and special schools.

The increase in average attendance during the last five years has been : 1914, 3-6 per cent. ; 1915, 3-1 per cent. ; 1916, 0-04 per cent. ; 1917, 3-4 per cent. ; 1918, 0-07 per cent. The average attendance taken as a percentage of the average weekly roll was 88-7 in 19.18, as compared, with 89-8 in the previous year and 90-1 in 1914 —the highest record yet reached. Every education district excepting Taranaki shows a slight falling-off in the regularity of attendance, the best results being obtained in Otago and Wellington, with percentage attendances of 91-3 and 90 respectively. As far as comparisons can be made, the regularity of attendance in New Zealand does not appear to be inferior to that in other English-speaking countries, and when the large number of children who have to travel long distances to school is taken into account the result must be considered as highly satisfactory. The following figures represent the total number of children (of whom th average weekly roll number was given above) in average attendance at registered schools giving primary instruction : — Public schools (excluding secondary departments of district 1917. 1918. high schools) .. .. .. .. .. 166,510 167,601 Native village and mission schools .. .. .. 4,619 4,492 Registered private primary schools .. .. .. 16,429 17,441 Lower departments of secondary schools .. .. 530 573 Special schools .. .. .. .. .. 588 248 Totals .. .. .. .. ..188,676 190,355 Classification, Age, and Examination of Pupils. (Tables 01-07.) Classification and Age, of Pupils. The importance of correct classification is receiving the attention of all educationists, the necessity of avoiding waste of time and of hindering the progress of bright pupils being fully recognized. In New Zealand the teachers—who should be in the best position to judge—have the work of the classification of scholars almost entirely in their hands, Inspectors of Schools supervising and assisting when necessary. On the whole the reports on the work of classification are satisfactory, more assistance from the Inspectors being naturally required in small country schools. The opinion is expressed that full advantage is often not taken of the opportunity of promoting brighter pupils twice in one year. In order to carry out the system of " double promotion " the London County Council has a regulation to the effect that classification must be made at the end of the year, and must be reviewed at the end of the first half of the year. It is considered in London that about 20 per cent, of the children are fit to take the work of two standards in one year once or, at most, twice in the course of their school lives. Such promotions are more easily made in the lower standards. Classification is recognized as being a difficult problem, and various schemes are resorted to in order to make provision for backward and for especially bright children.

The table below sets forth the ages and classification of the pupils of public schools in the Dominion :—

Classified Return of the Numbers on the Rolls of Public Schools at the end of 1918, excluding Secondary Departments of District High Schools.

The table is useful in showing the retardation occurring in the school-life of the pupils. The average age of children in the Dominion in Si at the end of the year is nine years, in S2 ten years, and so on. These ages are one year higher than would be the case if all children began school at the age of five and spent two years in the preparatory classes and one year in each of the following standards. It is therefore taking a very liberal view to regard children up to ten years of age at the end of a year in Si as being of normal classification. This is done in the table, the numbers below the lower horizontal lines then representing cases of retardation, the numbers above the upper horizontal lines representing children brighter than the average. It is not possible from the table to show cases above normal classification in the preparatory classes, or cases of retardation in S7. An examination of the figures discloses the following results : —

The average percentage of cases of retardation in Si to S6 inclusive is 19, the highest rate —24 per cent.—obtaining in S3. This means that 24 out of every 100 children enrolled in S3 at the end of the year were over twelve years of age. Since, under normal conditions a child should pass out of S6 at the age of thirteen, it is very apparent that great numbers of our children are much too old for the

The average age of children in the Dominion in Si at the end of the year is nine years, in S2 ten years, and so on. These ages are one year higher than would be the case if all children began school at the age of five and spent two years in the preparatory classes and one year in each of the following standards. It is therefore taking a very liberal view to regard children up to ten years of age at the end of a year in Si as being of normal classification. This is done in the table, the numbers below the lower horizontal lines then representing cases of retardation, the numbers above the upper horizontal lines representing children brighter than the average. It is not possible from the table to show cases above normal classification in the preparatory classes, or cases of retardation in S7. An examination of the figures discloses the following results : — i .,, Normal Above Normal Below Normal Classification. Classification. Classification. I Normal Above Normal Classification.

This means that 24 out of every 100 children enrolled in S3 at the end of the year were over twelve years of age. Since, under normal conditions a child should pass out of S6 at the age of thirteen, it is very apparent that great numbers of our children are much too old for the

E.—2

standards they have reached. A similar calculation to the above has been made in respect of 450,000 children in England, in which two years less has been taken as the normal age, a child being regarded as backward if it Avas over ten years of age when ready to pass out of S3. From the statistics thus obtained 35 per cent, of the children were found to be backward, 45 per cent, normal, and 20 per cent, advanced. If a similar age were taken for the normal in New Zealand the percentage of backward children would be very much greater than in England. Many of the causes of retardation such as mental backwardness, physical incapacity, and migration from school to school are impossible or difficult to remove. On the other hand, delay in beginning school life is responsible for a great number of children being over the average age, although when measured by the length of time spent at school they cannot be regarded as cases of retardation. The establishment of special auxiliary classes for the care of backward children will have to be extended as opportunity permits. The average ages of the pupils in the several classes for the two years 1917 and 1918 as at the end of the year's instruction were as follows :— 1917. 1918. Yrs. mos. Yrs. mos.

As has been mentioned in previous reports, the various districts, with no apparent reason, show a difference in the average ages for the various classes, the range of difference being as high as eleven months in S5. The figures for the Dominion do not yet show any sign of the lowering of the average ages that is desirable. Tables C 3 and C 4 show the percentages of children in the primary schools of various ages and in the various classes during the last five years. The proportion of children in the preparatory classes continues to decrease in the manner desired, although the decrease in 1918 must to some extent be accounted for by the diminished number of new entrants. The percentage of children in these classes, which was 36-33 in 1914, is now 33-83, the percentage of children between the ages of five and seven years having decreased only from 18-9 to 17-11 during the same period, thus showing that the smaller proportion of pupils in the preparatory classes is largely the result of more rapid promotion to higher classes. Six per cent, of the pupils of the preparatory classes are still, however, over nine years of age, and 19 per cent, are over eight years of age ; these percentages, happily are gradually diminishing. As has been stated in previous reports, the normal child should cover the work of the preparatory classes within two years. Children leaving School before, passing S6. From the classification table above and from those of previous years it appears that 87 per cent, of the pupils in 1914 reached S5 in 1918, and only 66 per cent, of those in Si in 1913 reached S6 in 1918, so that approximately 34 per cent, of the pupils of primary schools leave school without doing the work of S6, and 13 per cent, without doing the work of S5. From returns supplied by Education Boards the number over fourteen years of age that left school in 1917 without passing S6 was 5,057 (2,764 boys and 2,293 girls), being more than half as many as left school with a S6 certificate. The figures have decreased during the last two years, but the fact of so many children failing to attain to the very moderate standard of education represented by S6 is a matter for great regret. It is not unlikely that among these children are many who, if the facilities were placed within their reach, would fit themselves to fill creditably positions in the industrial world of the Dominion. Provision was made for an

8.—2

extension of the free-place system at technical scl ools and classes to afford such children some training in subjects related to industrial, occupations. From 100 to 150 ree places were granted under the new regulations in 1.918, and a further extension of the scheme is anticipated. Examination of Pupils. S6 examinations for proficiency and competency are usually conducted by the Department's Inspectors, the pupils being examined in English and arithmetic, at least, by means of written tests. The closing of the schools owing to the influenza epidemic at the end of 1918 prevented, in most.cases, the examinations being held by the Inspectors, and certificates were awarded on the teachers' recommendations based on examinations held during the year, and where possible after consultation between the teachers and Inspectors. In some cases subsequent examinations were also held. On the whole the scheme worked well, but naturally it was a difficult matter for inexperienced teachers to arrive at correct estimates, and a general tendency in other cases to accept too low a standard of merit is remarked upon. Inspectors are generally of the opinion that the usual method of awarding these certificates is still to be preferred and should not be materially departed from. As a result of the unusual conditions the number of pupils obtaining certificates of proficiency—lo,4oo, or 73-6 per cent, of the number of candidates —was higher than usual, the percentage for the previous year being 67. The percentage ranged in the various education districts from 60-1 per cent, to 81-5 per cent., showing a range difference of 21-4 per cent., as compared with 25-7 per cent, in 1917. The number of certificates of competency granted was 2,043, or 14-5 per cent, of the number of candidates ; of this number 303 were endorsed for merit in science and handwork. Registered Primary Private Schools. (Tables 111 and 1)2.) The number of primary private schools (excluding private schools for Natives referred to elsewhere) registered under the Education. Act, 1914, in 1918 was 210, compared with 197 in 1917. For the purpose of ensuring that children who do not attend public schools, wherein the State is willing to provide for them, are receiving adequate instruction elsewhere, private schools are inspected by the Department's Inspectors, upon the character of whose reports the registration largely depends. Pupils in S6 are also examined by the Inspectors for certificates of proficiency and competency. The following are the statistics relative to these schools:— 1917. 1918.

Conveyance and Board of Scholars. Free passes on the railway to the nearest public or private school are granted to children, living near to the railway-line but out of reach of a primary school, and the same privilege is enjoyed by pupils having to travel to attend secondary schools, district high schools, and technical high schools, and also by free-place holders travelling to attend technical, schools or classes other than technical high schools. Education Boards are also authorized to make provision when necessary for the conveyance of pupils to primary schools by road or water and to contribute towards the payment for board of children compelled to live away from home in order to attend school. The rules under which the Department makes grants to Education Boards have recently been revised, the following being the rates now payable:— (a.) Sixpence per return trip for each child over five years of age conveyed to the nearest public school: Provided that the home is not less than three miles from the school in the case of a child ten years of age or over, and not less than two miles in the case of a child under ten years. (&.) Sixpence per return trip for each child over five years of age conveyed by ferry to enable him (or her) to attend a public school. (c.) Eightpence per return trip for each child where the distance to be conveyed exceeds five miles. (d.) Two-thirds of the recognized rates (subject in each instance to the approval of the Department on the recommendation of the Board and the Senior Inspector of Schools) in the case of a child using a horse or pony as a means of conveyance where roads for wheel traffic are non-existent or are such as to be dangerous or impassable for vehicles, (c.) Five shillings a week for the board for each child over five years of age who through impracticability of conveyance has to live away from home in order to attend a public school. ■(/.) Half the amount expended by the Board on the conveyance (including ferrying) and board of all children over five years of age in excess of the allowances received under (a), (b), (c), (d) and (c). The following represents the expenditure by the Department for the year 1918-19 on the above-named services:—

The total expenditure for the previous year was £28,614. Class-books and School and Class Libraries. The practice of former years of making grants for establishing and maintaining school and class libraries was continued in 1918. These grants come under two heads: — (a.) A capitation grant at the rate of 3d. per head on the average attendance was paid to Boards for the purpose of supplying schools with supplementary continuous readers in sufficient numbers for class reading in P to S6 inclusive, and also for the free supply of classbooks in necessitous cases or in cases where a newly entered pupil had already purchased elsewhere class-books different from those in use in. the school. After provision was made for the supply of such books, the balance of the grant, if any, was spent on. approved books suitable for individual reading in school or at home.

(b.) Further to encourage the establishment and the satisfactory maintenance of school libraries provision is made for the payment of subsidies of £l for £l on moneys raised by voluntary contributions. In' addition to this departmental subsidy a subsidy is payable by the Education Board under section 37 of the Education Act, but the Board is not required to pay a sum exceeding 3d. for each child in average attendance at a school, or exceeding £5 for any one school. The books purchased are to be suitable for individual reading in school or at home, and are to be approved, by the Senior Inspector. The complaints regarding the expense to which parents are put by reason of their having to purchase new books for their children when they move from one district to another are not so common as formerly, and there are good grounds for believing that the attention drawn by the Department to the provision that in these cases class-books must be supplied free has resulted in the relief of parents with respect to such charges. There are also similar grounds for believing the provision of the free supply of class-books in necessitous cases is being more generally complied with. Subsidies on Voluntary Contributions. In addition to the subsidies mentioned above with respect to school libraries, under section 159 of the Education Act subsidies of £l for £l are payable on voluntary contributions for many other school purposes prescribed by regulation. The total amount approved as subsidies in connection with public schools for the financial year ending 31st March last was £4,617 (as compared with £3,800 in 1917-18), and the annual expenditure will undoubtedly increase as School Committees become more fully aware that any efforts they may make in the direction of providing funds for improving their schools and grounds are recognized by the payment of a Government subsidy. By this means many schools have been enabled to carry out desirable works somewhat beyond their own unaided efforts, and the extension of the provision to all public schools by the Act of 1914, instead of its being limited to district high schools as previously, has served as an excellent stimulus to self-help. The " School Journal." The School Journal is published by the Department every month (except in December and January) for use as a supplementary reader in primary schools, and is still regarded as a useful and popular publication. It is issued in three parts suited to the varying capacities of the pupils in Standards T to VT inclusive, and is supplied free to public schools, Native schools, special schools, and other institutions more or less under the Department's control or supervision. To a very large number of private schools it is supplied at moderate rates, with a result that approximately 11,000 copies of the School Journal are purchased monthly. Of the last issue of the School Journal for the past year the number of copies printed was —Part T, 63.000 : Part 11, 58,900 ; Part HI, 49,000 : total, 170,900. In addition to reading-matter of a general character there have appeared in the School Journal during the past year articles dealing with national events, scientific discoveries, and the history and industries of the Dominion, while special numbers have been largely devoted to topics suitable for Empire Day and Arbor Day. An analysis of the matter appearing in the School Journal shows further that a very considerable amount of reading-matter, both in prose and verse, is calculated to develop in the minds of the children an appreciation of the great and beautiful in literature, an admiration of truth and goodness in daily life, besides a high conception of patriotism, of national service, and of the principles on which may be founded true ideals of worthy manhood and womanhood,

Medical Inspection. This sphere of work has for its chief aim the prevention rather than of physical defects in school-children, or at least it aims at dealing with defects in their very earliest stages, thus enabling the children concerned to develop into healthy men and women. The staff of Medical inspectors, school nurses, and physical instructors has been increased during the year, and the work in all its phases has been considerably developed. Parents, teachers, the children themselves, and the public generally are becoming more and more impressed with the value of this branch of the Department's activities, and numerous evidences of appreciation have reached the Department. For general information some of the more distinctive features of the work of the past year may here be referred to. The inspection of all children in schools in Grade 111 and upwards has been systematically carried out, and the reports forwarded to parents have been followed up by the visits of the school nurse. Careful investigation shows that from 70 to 75 per cent, of the cases reported have been attended to by parents, either by their own. ministration or through the services of the medical or dental practitioner. It will thus be seen that the work of inspection is not merely of formal or statistical value, but that very definite and permanent practical results eventuate in the great majority of cases. It is regretted that owing to the impossibility of securing larger staffs and means of conveyance in the outlying districts the children in back-country schools have not yet received the benefit of medical inspection. It must be remembered that over one-third of the children of New Zealand are taught in schools containing less than a hundred pupils, and that the children of these schools are out of the reach of ordinary medical or dental services, since these can be obtained only at considerable expense. It is highly necessary, therefore, that the benefits of medical and dental inspection and dental treatment should be provided for that portion of the children of New Zealand who in all probability stand in most need of attention. Some advance in this direction has been made possible by the recent increase in the number of Medical Inspectors, and as doctorsare being released from war service it should be possible soon to meet all requirements. Early in the year applications were called for the position of school dentists, but owing to the large number of dentists engaged in military service it was found impossible to secure suitable applicants. Later in the year applications were again called, and arrangements are new pending for the appointment of twelve school dentists, of additional Medical Inspectors and school nurses, and, in particular, of a Superintendent of Medical and Dental Inspection, whose duty it will be to organize and direct the rapidly increasing activities of this branch of work. Applications are also being deait with for the position of Chief School Dental Officer, who, in association with the Medical Superintendent, will shortly have the direction of a large staff of school dentists. The latter will in some cases be stationed in towns, and in other cases will travel through the country districts by means of motor ambulances, in which simple treatment can be provided in a general and systematic manner. The ambulances are already in New Zealand, and as soon as the staff is organized the work will be commenced. In the meantime a number of extra activities have been undertaken in various districts, owing, to a large extent, to the enthusiasm of the Medical Inspectors and school nurses concerned. For instance, in one centre the services of the local dentists were secured practically free of cost for one morning per week, until the children in the town who required dental treatment had all been attended to. The hospital authorities gladly co-operated, and the result is that in this centre there has been a complete treatment of the teeth of practically all the children. In several districts tooth-brush drill has been instituted with very satisfactory results, and there is no doubt that with the extension of this simple daily practice the need for dental treatment will be very greatly reduced. In another district, where goitre is very prevalent, the Medical Inspectors made special investigations, as the result of which arrangements have been made for the systematic treatment of about fifty children suffering from this complaint. In this way it is hoped that in this district goitre will be cured in its very earliest stages and that the prevalence of the complaint will be very considerably diminished in the future.

During the recent influenza epidemic the services of the school Medical Inspectors, the school nurses and the physical instructors were placed at the disposal of the Department of Public Health, and on all sides high appreciation of their enthusiasm and efficiency was expressed. During their visits to various centres the Medical Inspectors have delivered a large number of addresses and lectures to teachers, parents, and children concerning the various means by which disease may be prevented or checked, and by which the physique of the children might be improved. In addition to this, parents are invited to be present at" the school while the medical inspection of their children is being carried on. This gives the doctor an opportunity of showing the parent directly anything requires attention, and of giving simple directions for the remedy of any defect pointed out. Numerous lectures have also been delivered to training college students on the methods, purpose, and importance of medical inspection, and on the part which the teacher may take in promoting the physical welfare of the children. The Medical Inspectors have also been of great assistance to the Education Boards in supplying reports on the hygienic and sanitary condition of the schools, and in making suggestions which in their opinion would improve health conditions in the schools. A large number of leaflets and circulars have been issued to parents giving guidance on matters such as the care of the teeth, suitable kinds of clothing, eyesight, treatment of skin troubles, and obstructed breathing. The cost of medical inspection for the year 1918-19 was £6,206. Physical Education. The number of physical instructors has been increased during the year to fourteen, and the work of physical training in the schools is becoming more and more effective in promoting the physical welfare of the children. Unfortunately it has been impossible up to the present to place this work under expert guidance, but applications have been invited for the position of Superintendent of Medical Inspection and Physical Instruction, and with the appointment of this officer certain extensions and improvements in the system will no doubt be undertaken. The cost of physical education for the year 1918-19 was £4,292. Manual Instruction. (See also Appendix C) The steady extension of instruction in some form of handwork, for the most part closely correlated with the ordinary subjects of the syllabus, leads to the conclusion that the meaning and value of the concrete method is now more fully appreciated by the teachers.of the Dominion. The number of public schools making provision for this form of instruction in 1917 stood at 2,011 ; for the year under review capitation was paid in respect of 2,135 schools, an increase of 124 ; and, as facilities were provided for other branches of manual training in 1,532 schools, it may be said that few children of school age are now deprived of some form of hand-and-eye training. Development has, however, been retarded in certain directions by the abnormal rise in the cost of stationery and material for handwork, and the difficulty of obtaining supplies. Notwithstanding these difficulties, some sound constructive work in paper and cardboard modelling, &c, in the lower standards, and wherever possible in metal-work, woodwork, cookery, laundry-work, and dressmaking, and various branches of elementary science, elementary agriculture, and dairy-work in the higher standards, has been the basis of training which not only links together education and life, but at the same time provides opportunities for a most valuable form of both mental and physical train ng. It has been well said, " handwork has for its fundamental principles mainly two complementary attributes —viz., (1) progressive activity for developmental functioning, and (2) the acquisition of skill in the use of tools, instruments, and material in order to foster adaptability and resource " ;. and it may be added that under wise guidance the training assists in the development of initiative and independence of judgment.

E.—2

The special subjects of manual training are taught at over one hundred more or less well equipped centres, and while this system cannot be regarded as ideal, until conditions permit of the provision of a " handicraft-room " in every school wherein all suitable forms of handier aft. can be practised, the present arrangement may be regarded as satisfactory. The special, subject for boys is invariably woodwork, and if taught with intelligence and skill excellent results may be attained. Few boys, unfortunately, are in a position to continue the lessons in their spare time, the cost of tools, bench, and. material preventing, and it is hoped that facilities for giving instruction in elementary metal-work will be largely increased in the near future. This subject appears to make greater mental demands on the pupils, the equipment of a centre costs less than for woodwork, and in the opinion of many competent authorities metal-work has higher educative value than woodwork. Further, a very limited, kit of metal-work tools will prove an endless source of utility and interest to lads having mechanical aptitude, and will provide wide scope for the exercise of ingenuity and the application of varied constructive principles. The value of the instruction of girls in subjects relating to the home was abundantly proved during the epidemic ; at many of the centres instructors and pupils undertook the preparation, cooking, and delivery of special meals, and in. many ways displayed skill and resourcefulness. One of the lessons learned at that time was that in the interests of the home and of the State it was expedient to give more, rather than less, time to the education of girls in domestic subjects, and instead of the instruction being confined to plain cookery, needlework and laundry-work, elementary first aid, and the elements of home nursing, should, wherever possible, become part of the school course of every girl. During the year additional centres were authorized or completed, and while the continued curtailment of the train service affected the attendances at some centres, the average attendance in all subjects shows an increase over that of 19.17. Instruction in woodwork and metal-work for boys is provided at 494 schools, and facilities for the instruction of girls in subjects relating to the home exist at 500 schools, there being indications that these numbers will, be largely increased within the next year or two. At 1,390 schools instruction more or less related to agriculture, and supervised by qualified itinerant instructors, was given throughout the year. Probably it is a misnomer to connect this instruction with agriculture as generally understood, as it has little relation to farm-work and the primary products, but is directed solely to the creation of the pupils' " interest in the soil and in the things of the soil," and the importation of very elementary knowledge through the garden and indoor experiments on such subjects as gardening and soil, plant-life, and very elementary chemistry and physics in relation thereto. If this instruction —as there is every reason to believe it does —broadens the child's outlook, quickens the interest, and. imparts even the most elementary scientific knowledge of botany and biology, thus providing a foundation for and a stimulus to acquire future knowledge, then the instruction is of direct value both to the child and to the State. The following table shows that the number of district high schools providing a course of instruction bearing on rural pursuits, has increased to forty-seven :—

The conditions under which the science subjects of the rural course are taught are far from ideal, and will never be otherwise until a well trained and enthusiastic science teacher on the staff is in charge of the course at every school in which it is taken. There is consolation, be taken from the fact that in most cases science is systematically /taught, and if " the .special purpose which science serves is the inculcation of principles and balance, not facts," the utility of the instruction lies not in how much scientific knowledge of farming, botany, chemistry, biology, &c, has been imparted by the teacher, but in the mental discipline, quickened observational powers, and the stimulus to persistent effort the course has provided. It is to be expected that as normal conditions return an increase will take place in the number of classes in elementary science, instead of a slight decrease as is shown by the returns for 1918. The number of approved classes for swimming and life-saving shows a slight decrease for the year, due to the prevalence of the epidemic at the time that the classes would under normal conditions have commenced. Capitation earnings by Education Boards for the year amounted to £41,906, as compared with £39,538 for 1917, while grants amounting to £3,590 in aid of builds nigs and equipment were received. The total receipts (including transfers from other accounts) of Education Boards in respect of manual instruction amounted to £53,164, and the total payments (including transfers to other accounts) to £62,009. The monetary assets of the Boards at the 31st December, 1918, were £12,027, and these exceeded the liabilities by £5,639. The following table gives some particulars of the payments by Education Boards in respect of certain branches of manual instruction : —

Staffs of Public Schools. The number of teachers employed in the primary departments of public schools in 1918 was 5,464, including 4,818 adult teachers and 646 pupil-teachers, the corresponding figures for the previous year being 4,707 and 649 respectively. The increase in numbers took place entirely in the female staff, the number of male adult teachers being seventeen less than in 1917 and the number of male pupilteachers nine less. Of the adult teachers, 1,323 were sole teachers, 934 were head teachers, and 2,561 were assistant teachers. Classified according to sex, there were 1,366 males and 3,452 females among the adult teachers, and 123 male and 523 female pupil-teachers. In addition to the staff of adult teachers and pupil-teachers, 378 probationers (including 48 males and 330 females) were employed, the number being 32 less than in the preceding year. The number of primary-school teachers (including training-college students) who left the teaching service to take up military duty was about 900. Of this number 155 have given their lives for their country. Although some returning teachers are not again taking up the work of teaching, a large number are resuming their profession. The names of all teachers who joined the Expeditionary Forces may be found in Appendix B of E.—l.

The following table shows the number of adult teachers in each grade of school classified under the headings of sole, head, or assistant teachers.

Number of Adult Teachers employed in Primary Departments of Public Schools, December, 1918.

Note The numbers of sole and head teachers do not agree with the numbers of schools in each grade as shown in the summary on page 5, for the reason that all half-time schools and side schools are placed in that summary in the grades strictly according to the average attendance of each school counted separately, while for salary purposes in the case of half-time schools, and for salary and staffing purposes in the case of main schools with side schools attached the grade is determined in tho one case by the average attendance of each school group, and in the other by the combinod average attendance of the. main and side schools together. The number of pupils per teacher in the several grades or groups of schools is shown below, two pupil-teachers being counted as equivalent to one adult teacher, and probationers being disregarded :—

The average number in schools of Grades V to VII was four less in 1918 than in 1917 ; this is possibly on account of the attendance being unusually low and the staffs not being reduced. As a step towards reducing the size of classes provision was made, which became applicable in 1919, for additional assistance being employed in large schools for every additional forty pupils, instead of for every additional fifty, as had previously been the case. It is realized that in the case of the larger schools much yet remains to be done in the direction of reducing the size of classes to a number more compatible with efficiency.

With regard to the sex of public-school teachers, the figures below show that the proportion of men to women teachers is still increasing, although not to the same extent as in recent years. In 1917 there was a decrease of 118 in the actual number of male teachers as compared with the previous year ; in 1918 the decrease was only seventeen, and it is considered that with the number of men released from, military duty and returning to the teaching profession in 1919 the falling-off in numbers will be entirely arrested, ft is to be expected that in small schools with twenty pupils or less in attendance there will be a large preponderance of women teachers, and the figures show that in such schools only one in every six teachers is a male teacher. In schools with over twenty scholars, however, nearly one in every three adult teachers is a male teacher, the ratio of men to women, being 100 : 227. If anything in the vicinity of this proportion can be maintained there will be little cause for anxiety, it being freely acknowledged that women are suitable teachers for three-fourths of the school population. The very small, number of males among the pupil-teachers and probationers in recent years, and the small proportion of men students at the training colleges, has raised the doubt as to whether a sufficient number of men were entering the profession to maintain the desirable proportion of male teachers in future years. It is reported that the increased salaries and allowances recently provided for pupil-teachers and probationers have resulted in larger numbers of male candidates applying for entrance to the profession in 1919, and an increase in the number of men students at training colleges also took place in 1918, which will probably be still greater in 1919. It is also to be remembered in considering the entrants to the profession that the average length of service of women teachers is much shorter than that x>f men, so that the disparity between the numbers of the men and women of a given year gradually lessens with the passing of time. The following figures show in detail the position with regard to the population of men teachers and women teachers in the primary schools : — 1915. 1916. 1917. 1.918. M. ,l<\ M. V. M. F. M. V.

Salaries op Primary Public-school Teachers. (Table E4.) The total amount of all salaries and allowances at the rates payable on the 31st December, 1918, was £935,180, an increase of £38,534 over the amount for the previous year, which largely represents increases in salary. The amount is made up as follows : — & Adult teachers'salaries .. .. .. .. .. .. 844,615 Pupi!-teachers'salaries and allowances .. .. .. .. 42,995 Probationers'allowances .. .. .. .. .. 22,170 House allowances to head or sol • teachers where residence is not provided 25,400 £935,180 The above figures do not include the equivalent of house allowance where residences are provided, estimated, at £31,800, nor the additional amounts paid to head teachers for the supervision of secondary departments of district high schools,

E.—2

The total cost of salaries and allowances (including the sum saved in house allowances) works out at £5 15s. sd. per head of the average attendance, as compared with £5 lis. 6d. in 1917. Corresponding figures in other countries are : New South Wales, £6 Is. 6d. ; Victoria, £4 Bs. Id. ; South Australia, £3 14s. 6d. ; Ontario, £5 os. sd. In addition to the salary-payments mentioned, a sura of £51,449 was distributed as a war bonus among teachers whose salaries did not exceed £315 per annum. The individual payments made were, with certain variations, £15 in the case of married teachers and £7 10s. in the case of unmarried teachers. This amount is not included in. the total salaries payable quoted above, nor in the average salaries shown in the table below. The average salaries of adult teachers in the various grades are shown in the following table : more detailed information is given in Table E4.

Average Salaries of Primary School Teachers.

It will be observed that in nearly every case the figures for 1918 are greater than the 1917 figures. The slight decrease in the average salary of male assistants is accounted for by the fact that a larger proportion left the service to take up military duties in 1918 than in any other year, their places being filled for the most part by women teachers. It should be pointed out that of the 4,818 teachers 4,076 are included in section (3) above, where the average salary of men and women is £200 Bs., and the average salary of men teachers is £285 10s. 6d. ; the number of male head teachers receiving an average salary of £318 15s. 6d. is 745, and the number of female head teachers receiving an average salary of £250 19s. 4d.

The salaries payable to sole or head teachers range from £130 to £450, and to assistants from £120 to £370. The same scale applies to men and women teachers. House allowances and special allowances to married assistants may be paid in addition to the scheduled salaries. The salaries and allowances payable to pupil-teachers and probationers have also been materially increased, probationers now receiving £55 or £60 per annum (according to qualifications), and pupil-teachers (now called " junior teachers ") from £60 to £65 per annum. If obliged to live away from home probationers and junior teachers receive in addition a lodging - allowance of £25 per annum, or if obliged to travel to schoool a travelling-allowance not exceeding £10 per annum. Proposals for further increases for these young teachers are also now under consideration. Status op Teachers in regard to Certificates. (Tables E2 and E3.) The table below gives a summary of the position with regard to the number of primary-school teachers who hold teachers' certificates. Figures relating to the last five years are given for purposes of comparison.

Primary Teachers in Public Schools.

The percentage (71) of certificated teachers still remains unaltered, although the percentage holding certificates higher than the D certificate has increased slightly in the last few years, if teachers of schools with an average attendance of twenty and under are excluded, the proportion of certificated teachers is 80. Including teachers of all schools, it appears that 82 per cent, of the male teachers hold certificates and 67 per cent, of the female teachers ; the fact that the great majority of very small schools are staffed by women teachers would, however, account for this difference in favour of the male teachers. Of the 3,426 certificated teachers, 37 hold Class A certificates, 246 Class B, 1,345 Class C, 1,506 Class D, and 292 Class E. It is recognized that the Class D certificate now represents a low minimum of educational qualifications for a primary-school teacher, and the necessity for improvement in the standard of attainments of public-school teachers is fully

realized. From recent reports it appears the increased payments provided for entrants to the profession have resulted in a greatly increased number of candidates with very good entrance qualifications seeking to join the service, so that promise of improvement in this direction is now beginning to appear. 'In England 92 per cent, of the male teachers and 86 per cent, of the female teachers are certificated. The following figures show the number of teachers in the Dominion holding the various certificates in 1917 and 1918 :—

Classes of Certificates held by Primary-school Teachers.

Grading of Teachers. During the year under review several useful amendments of the grading regulations were made, and the usual revision by the grading officers of the classification of the certificated teachers of the Dominion was carried out. It is gratifying to be able to state that, with the exception of one district, the teachers of the Dominion are now placed on the grading-list in positions corresponding as closely as can reasonably be expected to their general qualifications as teachers. It was not very difficult to secure such, a classification of the teachers within any one district, since the Inspectors, acting as grading officers, were thoroughly acquainted with the relative merits of the teachers in. their district. It was a more difficult matter to secure a reasonable uniformity in the standard of marking between the various districts, and it was to this end that the efforts of the Department were chiefly directed. After the first grading in 1916 statistics were prepared and full information was placed before the Inspectors in each district showing the relative standards of grading that had resulted. Guided by this information. Inspectors were able in the second, year of the grading to secure a uniformity of standard of marking between all the districts except Auckland, whose standard of marking was more favourable to the teachers in that district. In 1918 the relation between the grading of the various districts was still further improved, with the exception of Auckland, whose advantage over the other districts was increased. Information showing the extent of this advantage was supplied to the grading officers concerned, and a partial, though not a complete, adjustment was made. It was .against this adjustment that numerous appeals were lodged in the Auckland District in connection with which some of the appellants subsequently secured a mandamus to compel the restoration of the previous standard of marking. In the grading for this year the standard of marking in the various districts, with the exception of Auckland, shows only such minor natural variations as might readily be explainable from the varying conditions of the different districts. Unfortunately, the considerable advantage hitherto held by the Auckland teachers has been still further increased, and special measures will need to be taken so that, in justice to the teachers in the remainder of New Zealand, a more reasonable approach to uniformity, though not the establishment of a rigid uniformity, may be established. When this is done the grading-list could confidently be used as a far better basis 'for the appointment and promotion of teachers not only in one district, but between all districts, than has hitherto been available.

Training of Teachers. (See also Appendix D.) There afe 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 1918 under the various divisions were —Division A, 452, Division B, 33 ; Division C, 4 ; and Division D, 11 : the total being 500, as compared with 451 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 1917 and 1918 respectively are indicated in the following table :— , —1917 , , 1918 , Men. Women. Total. Men. Women. Total. Auckland ... ... ... 20 97 117 27 111 138 Wellington ... ... ... 12 104 116 19 117 136 Christchurch ... ... ... 16 87 103 18 99 117 Dunedin ... ... ... 20 95 115 21 88 109 Totals ... ... 68 383 451 85 415 500 The number of students is steadily increasing, especially with respect to the women students. In the year 1914 there were 430 students in the training colleges -123 men and 307 women ; the number of men students decreased from that date until the year under review, so that it is satisfactory to note that the figure appears to be again upon the upward grade. The ordinary course of training is for two years, so that if the training colleges had their full complement of students (recently increased from 125 to 150 in each case) the number of students annually completing their training and passing into the schools would be about 300. 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 1918 was 229. Increases were again made in 1918 in the allowances payable to trainingcollege students. Division A and Division C students now receive an annual allowance of £65, and Division B and Division D students, £45 ; all receive in addition a boarding-allowance of £25 per annum when necessary and University classes fees. Provision for still further improvement in these allowances is at present under consideration. 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. 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 sole teacher ; (ii) a junior school under one teacher with not more than 45 children of classes P to S2 on the roll ; (iii) a class representing the secondary department of a district high school; (iv) a class for backward children ; (v) a junior kindergarten. Provision is made for the staffing of classes for backward children and for public schools established as model schools, a class for backward children being in operation 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 pro-

E.—2

portion 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 twoyears course in 1917, 5 held Class C certificates, 84 Class D certificates, and 89 held partial successes towards teachers' certificates at the time of entry ; and at the end of the course, out of 209 students, 9 held Class B certificates, 123 Class C certificates, and 55 Class D certificates, the remaining students having secured sectional passes. The amounts paid to Education Boards in 1917-18 and 1918-19 for the training of teachers were as follows :— I. Training colleges— 1917 18. 1918-19. Salaries of staffs (two-fifths charged to public-school £ £ salaries) .. .. .. .. .. 13,765 16,741 War bonus to staff (£261) and students (£3,903) .. 3,587 4,164 Students'allowances and University fees .. .. 28,439 32,110 Special instruction, libraries, and incidentals .. 1,750 1,437 Buildings, sites, and equipment . . . . .. 358 140 47,899 54,592 11.

Apart from the provision for training colleges, a grant of £2,875 was made last year to Education Boards for the maintenance of training classes for teachers, the amounts allotted to the various Boards ranging from £175 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. Improvements and alterations in the system of assisting uncertificated teachers have been considered, but it has not yet been possible to put them into practice. It is hoped that the recent regulations providing that a fair proportion oi' uncertificated teachers shall be employed in city schools will lessen the need of preparing them for their teachers' examinations by means of correspondence. Finances of Education Boards. (See also Appendix A, and Tables Fl-F4.) For several years attention has been drawn to the unsatisfactory condition into which the finances of Education Boards have been drifting, more particularly with reference to the building funds. Most of the grants paid by the Government to the Boards are for special purposes, and should be regarded as moneys held in trust

E.—2

strictly for those purposes. Boards also receive grants for general purposes -i.e., for expenditure on any object consistent with the provisions of the Education Act. The latter form what is known as the General Fund, from which is paid the cost of administration and sums required to supplement the grants received for special purposes. Boards have failed to discriminate between the Special Funds and the General Fund with the result that large sums have been misappropriated and that the conditions attached to the grants have been ignored. This misuse of the Boards' funds is clearly contrary to the proAdsions of the Education Act and the Public Revenues Act, and steps have been taken to stop the practice and to put the funds of the Boards on a sounder basis. An examination of the Board's accounts for the year 1918 showed that before adjustments were made the Special Accounts were overdrawn, and had so-called debit balances amounting in the aggregate for all the Boards to approximately £95,000, representing moneys expended on special purposes in excess of the revenue for those purposes. A Special Account is an account of moneys received in trust for a special purpose and of the payments properly made out of the fund thus created. When a fund is exhausted it ceases to exist, and no further payments can possibly be made out of it, so that it is impossible to have a debit balance in a Special Account. The fictitious debit balances had, therefore, to be eliminated from the Boards' accounts by transferring to the Special Accounts from other accounts sums sufficient to meet the deficiencies. Such transfers could properly be made only from the General Account, but, unfortunately, there were not, in the case of many of the Boards, credit balances sufficient for the purpose, and consequently recourse has been had to other accounts which are not properly available. The Special Accounts that showed the greatest deficits were —New Buildings, £33,110; Sites, £19,595; School Committees' Allowances, £11,090; Technical Instruction, £9,285 ; and Relieving-teacbers, £6,697. These deficits are due to various causes, the Boards alleging that the grants from the Government were inadequate. The Boards therefore used other special funds to supplement the grants. Whether such a defence of the proceeding could or could not be accepted as a temporary expedient is open to question, but it must be regarded as indefensible if adopted as a permanent and generally applicable course, and must be strenuously resisted as being without the authority of law. The work of investigating the accounts has been difficult, and it has not yet been found possible to make all the adjustments necessary to put the accounts of some of the Boards in order. In the meantime in these cases transfers have been made from other accounts to meet the deficits. These transfers, which are in some cases tentative only and subject to future revision, are from the following accounts : General Account, £44,082 ; Rebuilding Account, £44,954; Manual Instruction Account, £6,219 ; other accounts, £1,265 : total, £96,520. In the case of the Auckland and Taranaki. Boards the whole of the deficits in the Special Accounts have been met. by transfers from the General Account, and the accounts have been put in order without the improper transfer of sums from Special Accounts ; but in the cases of the other Boards in addition to transfers from the General Account transfers amounting to the following sums have been tentatively made from Special Accounts : Wanganui, £17,008 ; Wellington, £12,537 ; Hawke's Bay, £7,851 ; Canterbury, £1,081 ; Otago, £6,130 ; Southland, £3,715 ; Nelson, £4,115. The total expenditure (excluding transfers) of all Boards in 1918 was £1,515,374 ; the total income (excluding transfers) was £1,546,057 ; the total credit balance at the end of the year amounted to £200,293. Education Reserves. The Education Reserves Amendment Act of 1914 provides for the revenue received from primary-education reserves to be paid by the Receiver of Land Revenue into the Public Account to the credit of a special deposit account called " The Primary Education Endowments Deposit Account." The moneys so received are applied without further appropriation than the Act mentioned towards the payment of amounts charged on the Consolidated Fund for the purposes of primary education. The revenue from this source during the year 1918-19 was £82,793.

Table B2.—School Attendance at Public Schools for 1918.

Table B3.— Average Attendance for the Year 1918 at the Public Schools as grouped in Table A1, as estimated for determining the Grades of Schools.

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 their grades. For statistical purposes the average attendance as given in Table B2 should be taken. (2.) The totals of this table are for the mean of the four quarters of each school taken separately, not the mean of the gross quarterly totals of all schools. (3.) New schools, many of which were open for only part of the year, are included as having an average attendance for the whole year ; whereas in Table B2 the average attendance is included only for those quarters during which the schools were open. B.—This table shows the average attendance for determining the grades of schools. For determining the " primary " staffs of schools, however, the figures require to be reduced by the attendance in secondary departments of district high schools, viz.: Grade TIIa, 14; lIIb, 45; IVa, 106 ; IVb, 178; Va, 168; Vb, 134; Vc, 181; Yd, 186; Vla, 139; Vlb, 190; VIIa, 114; VIIb, 104; VIIc, 52; VIId, 253 ; VIIf, 130; VIIh, 329 : total, 2,323.

APPENDIX A. ABRIDGED REPORTS OF EDUCATION BOARDS. AUCKLAND. Sin,— Education Office, Auckland, 25th March, 1919. 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 as follows : Auckland Urban Area—Mrs. R. L. Baume, the Hon. G. J. Garland, Mr. G. W. Murray, and Dr. J. S. Reekie; Devonport Urban Area— * Mr. H. S. W. King and Mr. J. R. Penning; North Ward—Mr. J. D. McKenzie and Mr. it. C. Smith; East Ward—Mr. E. C. Banks and Mr. A. Burns; West Ward—Mr. J. Boddie and Mr. J. S. Bond. At the first meeting in August Mr. E. C. Banks was unanimously elected Chairman. Twenty-three meetings of the Board were held during the year, with an average attendance of nine. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of last year was 637, including 118 part-time schools. During the year the following schools were closed : Waimate Island, Puketui, Cook's Bay, Flax-mill, Oniao, Kaharoa, Man-o'-War Bay, Waiotehue, Karckare, Makeokeo, and Waihongi. Attendance. —The number of scholars enrolled at the end of last year was 53,650 —viz., Boys, 27,904; girls, 25,746 —being an increase of 1,517. The yearly average attendance was 46,214, being an increase of 472. On account of the late epidemic of influenza all schools were closed early in November by order of the Health authorities. They were not reopened until the beginning of February. Teachers. —No fewer than 330 teachers in the Board's service joined the Expeditionary Forces. Of this number fifty-one made the supreme sacrifice. The Board continued to experience very great difficulty in staffing schools owing to the withdrawal of teachers to serve with the Forces. In order to deal equitably with soldier teachers on their return from active service the Board has for some time past made such appointments as are suitable for those teachers temporary only. It is the Board's intention to throw those appointments open for competition when the soldiers have returned. During the epidemic of influenza in November nine teachers died of the disease. A large number of teachers are still suffering from post-influenza weakness, with the result that it has been necessary to employ an unprecedented number of relieving teachers during this year. The recent increases in the salaries of teachers have resulted in a large increase in the number of applicants for employment as junior teachers and probationers, being about eighty in excess of requirements, whereas in previous years the number was usually below requirements. Buildings. —During the year six new schools were built and seventeen schools were enlarged, including new schools (in brick) at Newmarket, Birkenhead, Northcote, Edendale, Otahuhu. No residences were built. During the period of the war the Board refrained from applying for grants for residences, and the applications for grants for school buildings were restricted to urgent cases only. 152 privately owned buildings are occupied for school purposes. Owing to the rapid increase of population in the metropolitan area provision is being made for the erection of new schools in the Mount Eden, Ponsonby, Green Lane, and Devonport districts. It is hoped that the establishment of new schools in those districts will relieve the serious overcrowding of certain city and suburban schools. The improvements, renovation, and the larger repair of schools are undertaken by a competent staff of workmen under the direction of the architect. Owing to war conditions it was found necessary for the Board's workmen to erect several new schools and to enlarge certain schools. The problem of floor-space accommodation gave the Board much concern, but was somewhat allayed by the assurance of the Department in the latter part of 1918 that a basis of 10 square feet per pupil would be regarded as a minimum below which accommodation would not be allowed to fall, and was dissipated early in 1919 by a reversion to the previously declared policy of the Department that, in general, a 12-square-feet-per-pupil basis should be adopted. Immediately upon receipt of information to this effect the Board took steps to obtain data upon which to base applications which will, it is hoped, remedy conditions of overcrowding that were baneful to the education and the general well-being of our young people, and were the cause of widespread dissatisfaction. The Board's Advisory Inspector is engaged in formulating a comprehensive report upon the whole matter, which will shortly be available for the Board's guidance. Finance. —The income for the year ending 31st December, 1918, totalled .£411,999 18s. 10d., and the expenditure £398,673 17s. lid. The amount on fixed deposit on account of the fund for the rebuilding of worn-out schools is now £54,537 os. Id. Training College, —There has been a considerable increase in the number of students. At the present time 178 students are in attendance —viz.. first year, male 32, female 67; and second year, male 24, female 55. In order to make provision for this large number of students arrangements have been made for (he Richmond Road School to be utilized during the present

year as an associated school. A grant has been authorized for the erection of a separate room at the Richmond Road School to be used as a common-room for the students. That room will be subsequently available as a practical workroom for the pupils of the school. Arrangements are being made for the Training College to be enlarged at the end of this year. It is the intention to establish a second normal school on a site which has been acquired in the Mount Eden district. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual Training. —School woodwork and cookery: During the year 1918 school classes in woodwork and cookery were conducted at Whangarei, Te Kopuru, Dargaville, Helensville, Devonport, Newmarket, Newton, Otahuhu, Ponsonby, Pukekohe, Hamilton, Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Cambridge, Matamata, Rotorua, Te Aroha, Waihi, Thames, Tauranga, and Coromandel. The classes at Rotorua and Taumarunui were held in temporary premises. Arrangements have been concluded for the erection of manual-training schools at Northcote. Rotorua, and Ngaruawahia, and at each of those centres classes will begin early in 1919. Miss A. B. Juniper has been appointed Domestic Science Organizer for the Education District, and it is anticipated that there will be very considerable development in domestic science as the result of her work. There is urgent need for additional accommodation in the manual-training schools in the city and suburbs. The centres at Newton, Ponsonby, and Newmarket should be converted into double centres, and new manual-training schools are needed at Avondale and Onehunga. The full rural course was taken by the secondary pupils of the Aratapu, Coromandel, Pukekohe, Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Cambridge, Matamata, Rotorua, Paeroa, Waihi, and Tauranga District High Schools. Each of these schools was visited regularly by an instructor in agriculture, who assisted in the agri-cultural-science teaching. School Classes. —Recognized classes in swimming and life-saving were held at twenty-nine schools during 1918. During the year 232 public schools and eleven Native schools held recognized agricultural classes, and ninety-six schools took a combined course of agriculture and dairy science, whilst one school took dairy science. Needlework was taken by special sewing-mistresses at eightyfour schools without female teachers. 580 schools took recognized classes in handwork. Several teachers' classes were held for the purpose of giving special instruction in the methods to be adopted in teaching agriculture in primary schools. Only selected teachers were invited to attend, and the results have been exceedingly satisfactory, a marked improvement being noticed in the agriculture work at the schools from which these teachers came. Teachers' classes for practical work required for certificate examinations were held in the following subjects : Hygiene, dairy science, agriculture, and botany. A teachers' farm school held at Ruakura Government Farm of Instruction was attended by eighty teachers. Only teachers taking recognized agriculture classes at their schools were invited to attend. Twelve sets of notes dealing with general agriculture were sent out to 114 farmers who joined the farmers' correspondence class. Towards the end of the year arrangements were made to supply six sets of notes on dairy science to a class of thirty farmers. In conjunction with the Department of Agriculture the Education Board has arranged for a series of experiments in connection with pastures, forage, fodder and root crops to be carried out at Dargaville. Technical and continuation classes were held at Dargaville, Te Kopuru, Whangarei, Devonport, Otahuhu, Pukekohe, Hamilton, Te Kuiti, Matamata, Te Aroha, Waihi, Thames. Senior free places were granted to twenty-five pupils who attended technical and continuation classes in 1918. A grant of £3,450 has been made by the Department for the erection of a manual and technical school at Hamilton, and it is expected that the building will be ready for occupation early in 1919. Se.ddon Memorial Technical College. —The Technical College last year was taxed to its utmost, particularly as regards accommodation for students in the Technical High School, where the attendance was 595, as against 541 the previous year. The completion of the College is urgently needed, and an application was made during the year to the Department for a grant of £8,000 for providing additional workshops. As the Department was only prepared to grant £3,000 on condition that the Board spent £5,000 out of its ordinary funds, no progress was made with the proposal. The total number of students attending the College was 1,824, being an increase of seventy-two over the previous year. Officers. —Mr. E. C. Purdie, Advisory Inspector, was appointed Secretary in place of Mr. Crowe, who died suddenly in May last. The Board records its appreciation of Mr. Crowe's valuable services in the cause of education. Mr. D. W. Dunlop has been appointed Advisory Inspector. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. E. C. Banks, Chairman.

Knight an extraordinary election was held on the 21st October, when Mr. T. Buchanan was duly elected a member of the North Ward. Schools. —The number of schools under the jurisdiction of the Board at the end of the year was 151. The following table shows the grading of the schools : — „ , .

Scholarships. —Senior National Scholarships have been awarded to three pupils of the New Plymouth Girls' High School and one pupil of the New Plymouth Boys' High School. Junior National Scholarships were awarded to scholars attending the following schools: New Plymouth Girls' High School, 1; New Plymouth Boys' High School, 3; Stratford District High Sohool, 2; Manaia, 1; Okato, 1; West End, 1; Hawera District High School, 1. Teaching Staff. —The number of teachers, junior teachers, and probationers at the end of the year was 334, as under :— Male. Female. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... ... 40 26 66 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... 18 67 85 Assistants ... ... ... ... ... 27 107 134 Junior teachers ... ... ... ... I 25 26 Probationers ... ... ... ... 1 22 23 87 247 334 It will be noted that out of forty-nine junior teachers and probationers in the service of the Board only two are males. The percentage of male teachers, including probationers, being only 2605 per cent, of the total employed in this distriot amply illustrates the necessity for the Government to make every effort possible to render the teaching profession more attractive to capable youths in the future. Finance. —The total receipts from all sources for the year was £83,396 lis. lid., the expenditure £80,165 6s. Id. The credit cash balance on the 31st January was £1,599 17s. 9d. The credit cash balance on the 31st December was £3,373 12s. 2d. Since the constitution of the new district the Board has given considerable consideration to its expenditure with the view of gradually placing the finances on a thoroughly sound basis. Buildings. —New school buildings have been erected during the year at Aukopae, Matiere, and Mount Messenger, and additions have been completed at Auroa, Hawera, Inglewood, Puniho, and West End Schools. The Board's building staff and the workshop has had a very busy year, and for a considerable portion of the period was handicapped through the shortage of skilled labour. The conditions are now somewhat easier, and it is felt that in the near future, with the return of our soldiers, the difficulties in this connection will soon be back to normal. ■ The Board has now under its control a complete factory plant and staff of workmen to undertake the maintenance and new work, concrete or otherwise, without calling on outside contractors in any way. This system enables the work to be carried out in a very economical manner, and at the same time ensures a higher class of work that will reduce the call on the Maintenance Fund for the future. Manual and Technical Instruction. —During the year technical education has been carried out at New Plymouth, Hawera, Stratford, Eltham, and Mangatoki. The increased number of pupils attending the Hawera centre clearly indicates the urgent necessity for the establishment of a technical high school. At Stratford the compulsory clause of the Act was brought into operation and is working satisfactorily. It would appear that the best results will be obtained by the Department making the compulsory clause operative at every centre wliere suitable classes are held. Physical Instruction. —Where so many young people are brought together from shops and offices it seems wise to take the opportunity of introducing a certain amount of physical instruction. To this end it is imperative that each technical school be supplied with a gymnasium. Manual. —In pursuance of the policy mentioned in last year's report the Board inaugurated a system of travelling woodwork instructors at various centres. The scheme has been successful

III

[Appendix A.

and very good work has been accomplished, the chief drawback being the uncertainty of motorcycle travelling. With slight alterations in this direction the utilization of itinerant instructors seems capable of extension. The Board is of opinion that the installation of swimming-baths in connection with schools is of great importance in promoting the general health and efficiency of scholars. Provision should therefore be made for the installation of baths at schools wliere an adequate water-supply can be obtained, and for the appointment of efficient instructors in swimming and life-saving. Agricultural Instruction. —Primary schools : Increasingly good work has been accomplished, and improvement is most notable in the northern portion of the district. It should be noted in particular that the work attained in many of the schools in charge of lady teachers reached a high standard. The judging of dairy stock has become a most important phase of instruction to schoolchildren, the agricultural and pastoral associations in the district being keenly interested in the matter. Negotiations were entered into with the New Plymouth High School Board for the Board's instructors to take over the work of instruction in agriculture at the Boys' High School. Good work has been accomplished at Stratford District High School, the model farm giving excellent facilities for observational and practical field-work on a farm scale. The Board is of opinion that the arrangements under which the model farm is controlled might be with advantage adopted in other centres. The pupils under an agricultural-science master work out the official returns from crops and the necessary herd-testing. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Grade 0 Schools. —lf the Government is sincere in its desire to open up the undeveloped lands of this Dominion, better provision will have to be made for the educational welfare of the children whose parents leave the centres to carve out homes in the backblocks. In spite of the small increases recently made, the capitation grant for Grade 0 schools is totally inadequate to secure the services of capable teachers, and in some cases of any teacher at all. This Board will not be satisfied until a teacher is supplied at a salary of not less than £120 per annum whenever there are six children. The present policy is an injustice to the children, and is retarding settlement. This question requires greater consideration than is being given to it at the present time. Instructional Glasses for Teachers. —Arrangements were made for Saturday classes at New Plymouth and Stratford for the instruction. of teachers in the following subjects: Geometrical drawing, free and blackboard drawing, home science, hygiene, and practical agriculture, whilst arrangements were made for teachers unable to attend the Saturday classes, owing to distance, to receive tuition by correspondence. Attendance. —The following is an abstract showing the number of schools, teachers, and pupils attending schools in the district, beginning with the year 1877, and every period of ten years, and at the end of 1918 :—

Visiting Schools. —During the year members of the Board visited various parts of the district. The direct knowledge thus gained of the special needs of those schools visited will be of material help when dealing with applications from Committees. The schools and grounds inspected were in general found to be in good order. 1 have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Eduoation, Wellington. It. Masters, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Sik, — Education Office, Wanganui, 31st March, 1919. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act I submit herewith a report on the progress of education in this district during the year 1918. Hoard. —At the biennial election in July Mr. W. Bruce replaced Mr. li. J. Sewell for the Wanganui Urban Area; Mr. P. C. Freeth was elected for the Palnierston North Urban Area in place of Mr. E. L. Broad, who did not seek re-election; Messrs. A. Eraser and E. F. Hemingway were re-elected, the latter unopposed, for the South and West Wards respectively; Mr. R. L. Christie did not offer himself for re-election for the North Ward : Mr. J. J. Pilkington was elected to the vacancy unopposed. Mr. F. Pirani was re-elected Chairman. During Mr. Pirani's absence in England Mr. Eraser acted as Chairman, and carried out the duties of the office with conspicuous success and ability.

Schools and Attendance. —New schools were opened at Tauangatutu, Te Kurou, Tuapaka, Waikupa Road (Grade 0), llapanui (Grade 1), jNukumaru (Grade 11), Umumuri Side (attached to Grade IIIb). The schools at Whareroa and Ruatiti were reopened, and those at Glenwarlock, Pipiriki, and Te Awa closed. Mangaeturoa, Orangimea, and Taumatatahi were closed temporarily. Retaruke, Lacy's Landing, and Marohema were constituted full-time schools. At the close of the year there were open 202 main schools and four side schools, graded as follows : Grade 0, 13; Grade I, 65; Grade 11, 31; Grade IIIa, 52; Grade 111b, .11; Grade IVa, 10; Grade IVb, 2; Grade IVc, 2; Grade Va, 3; Grade Vb, 2; Grade Vo, 4; Grade VLa, 1; Grade Vln, 2; Grade VUa, 2; Grade VIIb, 1; Grade Vlln, 1. The number of district high schools was six. The number of children on the roll at the close of the year was 15,626. Of these, 140 were in the secondary departments of the district high schools. The average attendance for the year was 13,690, which expressed as a percentage of the average weekly roll number was 895, against 89"9 for the preceding year. The attendance during the September and December quarters was affected considerably by bad weather and the influenza epidemic. The Truant Officer paid 224 visits to schools. 304 summonses were issued to parents, and in the 276 cases proceeded with 266 convictions were recorded. 450 warning notices were issued. Teachers. —At the end of the 3-ear there were in the Board's service 451 teachers, excluding pupil-teachers and probationers. The number of uncertificated teachers was 167. Of these, ten were in charge of Grade 0 schools, sixty-live in charge of Grade 1 schools, thirteen were in charge of Grade II schools, two were in charge of Grade IIIa schools, fifty-one were assistants, and twentysix were on active service. Omitting the teachers in Grade 0 schools and uncertificated teachers holding war appointments, the percentage of uncertificated teachers was 31. Despite the provision made by the Board, by means of Saturday classes and winter schools, to assist uncertificated teachers to pass the examination, the percentage of uncertificated teachers remains high. It will be seen that almost 40 per cent, are in charge of Grade I schools. Many of the schools in this grade are situated in remote parts of the district, and the utmost difficulty is experienced in keeping them open. It is not to be expected that teachers with several years' experience, and holding certificates, will accept appointments in schools of this class. It appears, therefore, that unless better inducement is offered to experienced teachers to take up such positions the percentage of uncertificated teachers in this district must remain high. Pupil-teachers and Probationers. —At the close of the year there were ten male and forty-four female pupil-teachers, and twenty-two female probationers. The term of service of ten pupilteachers and seventeen probationers expired, and of these twenty-one entered the Training College. The dearth of male applicants for appointment as pupil-teachers or probationers is very pronounced, and, although the conditions in regard to salaries and lodging-allowances have improved, it is evident that more liberal remuneration will have to be offered to induce suitable male candidates to enter the profession. Scholarships. —There were in force during the year thirty-seven Junior and eighteen Senior Scholarships, of a total annual value of £1,280 10s. On the result of the annual examinations scholarships were awarded to pupils of the following schools : Junior—Palmerston North High School, 1; Terrace End, 1; Owhango, 1; Kiwitea, 1; Wanganui Girls' College, 1; Marton District High School, 1; Wanganui Technical College, 1. Senior —Feilding District High School, 1; Wanganui Technical College, 3; Palmerston North High School, 3; Wanganui Girls' College, 4. Lieutenant Gray Scholarship. —Seventeen candidates entered for the examination, but only eight presented themselves, owing to the postponement of the examination until February of the current year, due to the influenza epidemic. The scholarship was won by a pupil of the Terrace End School. Alexander Bequest. —Under the will of the late Miss Alexander, of Wanganui, the sum of £2,000 was bequeathed to the Board for the establishment of scholarships in connection with the Wanganui Technical College. The Board desires to place on record its deep appreciation of this lady's action, which is only another instance of the great interest she always displayed in the welfare of the College, Conveyance and Board Allowances. —The total amount paid for allowances for the year was £378 13s. Conveyance allowance was paid on account of fifty-three children in attendance at ten schools, and boarding-allowance on account of thirteen children in attendance at ten schools. These figures will be greatly exceeded .during the current year. Voluntary Contributions. —£966 9s. Bd. was received in contributions towards the purchase of sites, alterations to buildings, improvements to grounds, and for providing school apparatus and establishing or enlarging libraries. In addition, the sum of £353 6s. Id. was received towards the maintenance of manual and technical classes. The Board tenders its thanks to all those who contributed during the year. The War. —The total number of teachers and officials who went into camp was ninety-four. Fourteen of these made the supreme sacrifice.. Forty-three teachers and officials have to date been discharged from military service, thirty-four of whom have re-entered, or arc about to re-enter, the Board's service. Buildings and, Sites. —New schools were erected at Omahina, Ruatiti, and Upper Tutaenui. The Maunga'hoe School was removed to Rata-iti, Temporary class-rooms were erected at Campbell Street, College Street, and Terrace End, and additions provided at Carnarvon, Ohakea, and Terrace End. A new residence to replace the one destroyed by fire was erected at Raetihi. New residences to replace those destroyed by fire have since been erected at Horopito and Makotuku. Repairs of a more or less extensive nature were made to twenty-two schools and twelve residences. Seventeen schools and seven residences were repainted. Swimming-baths were erected at Aramoho

out of voluntary contributions and subsidy. The Foxton School, a large wooden building erected about twelve years ago, was completely destroyed by fire in September last. A new building, in brick, is to take its place. After giving careful consideration to the proposals of the Wanganui Borough Council the Board decided to proceed with the re-erection of the new Queen's Paris. School .on the old site. Works now in hand include the erection of additions to Gonville, Kimbolton, and Turangarere Schools, and the removal of a portion of the old Aramoho School to the new site. At the special request of the Education Department the Board had reduced its applications for buildings grants to the minimum during the currency of the war, even erecting temporary rooms for pupils to tide over the period. As this is a matter of publio policy it was not for the Board to object, but any one could see that it meant looking for trouble of no uncertain kind in the near future, when the accumulated requirements would necessitate very great expenditure, independent of the effect of the conditions on the health and training of the rising generation. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Once again, on behalf of the Board, I desire to express thanks to local bodies and individuals throughout the district for financial assistance given to technical education. The work of manual instruction is being continued under great disadvantages, clue mainly to the failure of the Department to realize the necessity for increasing capitation allowances. While increased grants have been made for primary-school teachers' salaries and Committees' allowances, the capitation for manual classes is the same as it was years ago. The consequence is that the Board has been unable to increase the salaries of its instructors to any extent. To be successful in their work instructors must possess special qualifications in addition to teaching ability, and yet some of them are receiving salaries no higher than assistants of Grade IIIa schools. The residents of Feilding have secured, without any assistance from the Department or the Board, a site of 10 acres on which it is proposed to erect a Technical High School with a boarding-establishment attached. Negotiations are now in progress for the purchase of an additional 10 acres. Finance. —Taking liabilities and cash assets into consideration, the following were the credit balances at the end of the year : General Account, £1,385 18s. Id. ; Maintenance Account, £2,679 15s. 5d.; Rebuilding Account, £1,087 7s. 3d.: making the total of £5,153 os. 9d. Transfers were made from the General and Rebuilding Accounts, and from special accounts which were in credit, to meet the deficits on other accounts. By this means all deficits were cleared off. The Roes Bequest and Alexander Bequest Trust Accounts were in credit £1,042 ss. lid. and £2,009 10s. Bd. respectively. General. —The Board desires again to thank Senior Inspector Strong for the valuable assistance rendered by him as editor of The Leaflet, and for his help and advice in other directions during the year. I regret to have to record the death, after a brief illness, of Inspector Stewart. Mr. W. H. Gould succeeded Mr. Stewart as Assistant Inspector. The organized luncheon system, which has been in operation in a number of our schools for several years, has been taken up enthusiastically throughout the district. The Montessori system has also made considerable headway. Physical instruction and organized games now form part of the curriculum of almost every school. A considerable sum was raised by means of voluntary contributions for the purchase of equipment for the above objects. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. K. VV. Pibani, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sir, — Education Office, Napier, 31st March, 191.9. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, the Education Board of the District of Hawke's Bay has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings during the year 1918. Board. —Changes in the personnel of the Board took place during the year as follows: Mr. R, L. Paterson, who did not seek re-election, made his adieux to the Board at its July meeting. Mr. G. W. Venables was elected to fill the vacancy. Owing to his indefinite absence on active service, Captain J. It. Kirk did not offer for re-election, and his place in the North Ward was filled by Mr. L. T. Burnard. Mr. G. F. Roach was re-elected to represent the Middle Ward. The personnel of the Board at the end of the year was : Napier Urban Area—Messrs. J. Clark Thomson and G. W. Venables; Gisborne Urban Area—Messrs. G. Wildish and J. H. Bull; North Ward Messrs. L. T. Burnard and W. Oates; Middle Ward—Messrs. G. F. Roach and G. McKay; South Ward —Messrs. P. G. Grant and It. Soundy. Mr. G. F. Roach was re-elected Chairman. The Board's representation on other educational bodies was as follows : Dannevirke High School Board of Governors —Messrs. W. G. Hunter and R. Soundy; Napier High School Board —Messrs. G. F. Roach and R. L. Paterson; Gisborne High School Board —Messrs. J. H. Bull and G. Wildish; Napier Technical College Board —Messrs. R. L. Paterson, R. M. Chadwick, and A. L. Beattie/ Waipawa Technical Classes Association —Messrs. G. McKay and A. E. Jull. The Board desires to record its deepest appreciation of the great and unselfish labours of Mr. Thomas Tanner and the Hon. William Morgan, M.L.C., both pioneers in education in the Dominion, who died during the year 1918.

Number of Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of 1917 was 148. During 1918 new schools were opened at Kurukuru, Mangarara, Mutuera, Otamauri, Springhill, Tangatapura, and Tanguru; while schools were closed at Blackburn, Koranga, Mokairau, Otope, Tahora, Tanguru, Tangoio, Tarewa, Te Hauke, and Waiomoko; leaving 145 in operation at the end of the year. Attendance.—The number on the roll at the end of 1918 was 13,614, an increase of 438 during the year. The influenza epidemic in October and November last seriously affected the attendance, and owing to the disorganization consequent upon the epidemic the schools were finally closed for the year on the Bth November. The attendance for the year averaged I 1,887, being 88-8 per cent, of the average roll. The average roll and attendance for the year were as follows : Average roll, 13,372; average attendance, 11,887; being 888 per cent, of the'average roll. Teachers. —On the 31st December, 1918, there were in the Board's service 391 teachers, classed as follows :—

Li addition to the above the following instructors in special subjects were employed : — Male. Female. Agriculture and dairying ... ... ... ... ... 2 0 Domestic science ... ... ... ... ... ... 0 2 Woodwork ... ... ... ... ... 2 0 Totals ... ... ... ... ... 4 2 Instruction of Teachers. —Classes for the training of pupil-teachers, probationers, and uncertificated teachers in drawing and elementary hygiene were established at Gisborne, Napier, and Dannevirke. Excellent work was done in both subjects. Agriculture and dairy-science classes were held at Woodville, Dannevirke, and Hastings, and a class in vocal music for head teachers and assistants was held at Napier centre. Good work was done at these classes. Correspondence classes were continued, thirty-two students taking advantage of the opportunities offered. In addition to the issue of study-sheets, a winter school was held at Hastings. Physical drill was included in the subjects treated. Taking into consideration the disorganization of the work of the correspondence classes during the last two months of the year, due to the influenza epidemic, the results obtained by the students in the Department's certificate examination were fairly satisfactory. During the year the Board arranged for Miss E. Martin, of the Napier West School staff, to take a sixmonths course of training in Montessori method at the Blackfriars Training School, Sydney. Miss Martin has now returned, and a scheme has been adopted by which infant mistresses will be enabled to observe the system in operation at the new Napier West Infant School. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual and, Technical, Instruction. —Classes in elementary handwork were recognized in 130 schools, an increase of nine on the previous year. Considerable difficulty was again experienced in procuring material for the work of these classes, and the increase in the cost of these materials was enormous. The capitation paid by the Department remained at the same rate as prior to the war. The average roll number of pupils in the different groups of classes which received instruction in various branches of handwork was 11,580, as compared with 11,007 in 1917. Classes for needlework were conducted in six schools, the total roll number being sixty-two. 130 science classes were recognized for purposes of capitation during the year. The number of classes and average yearly attendances were as follows : Elementary agriculture, 59 classes, average 844; agriculture and dairy science, 51 classes, average 1,087; experimental science, 20 classes, average 690: totals, 130 classes, average 2,621. The cost of apparatus, material, &c, supplied in connection with classes for agriculture and dairy science, when compared with previous years, shows a considerable increase, viz.: 1916, £190 4s. 5d.; 1917, £123 2s. 6d.; 1918, £502 Bs. sd. This was largely due to the abnormal cost of scientific apparatus. Agricultural implements were supplied to a number of schools, and scientific apparatus and materials for indoor science work were supplied to forty-nine schools. It is greatly to be regretted that a large proportion of teachers in the small schools have received no training in science work. It is therefore impossible for these teachers to take the science programme required by the regulations, and it is to be hoped that in the near future the Department will be in a position to insist that all teachers receive a course of training before they commence their career as teachers. Classes for woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking were conducted at centres to which the pupils from the surrounding

[Appendix A.

schools came for instruction. Centres were in operation at Gisborne, Hastings, Waipawa, Dannevirke, and Woodville. It is expected that the manual training-school will be built at Napier during the year 1919, and that the classes which have been suspended for two years will resume before the end of the year. The work in cookery and dressmaking classes throughout the district has been very satisfactory. Good work was done in woodwork at Hastings and southern centres. The number of classes and the roll numbers in these subjects were : Woodwork, 27 classes, roll 567 ; cookery, 26 classes, roll 496; dressmaking, 26 classes, roll 498: totals, 79 classes, roll 1,561. The majority of the pupils in these classes show considerable interest in their work, and good progress was made during the year. Physical Instruction. —The Inspectors report that the physical instructors have been engaged in the district during the year, their visits including many of the less remote country schools. The work progressed satisfactorily, but there is again need for training-classes for the teachers. Medical Inspection. —Dr. E. Irwin took up the work of medical inspection in this district in May last, and since then has been constantly engaged. Visits were paid to all the principal schools, including those in which medical inspection has been hitherto unknown, and her services have been greatly appreciated by all. A school nurse was also appointed, and much useful work was done by her in visiting the parents of the children reported as being in need of medical treatment. Many parents acted on the advice of the Medical Inspector, but there are cases where lack of means prevents the necessary attention to the child being given. Some provision should be made to meet this difficulty. Scholarships. —Scholarships in tenure during 1918 were: Junior National Scholarships, 33; Senior National Scholarships, 11; Wairoa County Council Scholarships, 2 : total, 46. Conference of Local and Industrial Bodies. —In October last the Board organized a conference of representatives of local, industrial, and educational bodies to consider matters in connection with educational reform. Representatives from nearly forty councils, associations, and boards were present, and discussed fully during six sessions many of the pressing needs of education in New Zealand. As a result of the conference an Educational Reform League was formed to keep matters educational before the public with a view to bringing pressure to bear on Parliament to secure for you greater facilities for remedying the defects of the present system. Buildings, —After a delay of over two years the question of the site for the new school to replace the Napier Central School, destroyed by fire, is practically settled, the Department having approved the Board's securing the Colenso Hill site. The Board trusts that the new school may be ready for occupation by the beginning of 1920. There has been considerable activity in the buildings department during the year, and the following new buildings have been completed : New schools at Kurukuru, Springhill, Te Rehunga, Flemington, and Napier West (Infant School); additions to schools at Havelock North, Ruataniwha. Takapau, Whatatutu, Gisborne North, Wairoa, and Napier North; new residence at Hatuma. The Napier North and Waipatiki (Motea) schools have been moved to new sites, and the school at Pukahu has been separated from the residence, which has been enlarged. School buildings generally have been maintained to the usual standard. The Board's programme of painting and renovating was suspended for a time owing to the high cost of materials, but it was found that the resulting delay in dealing with the necessary works would eventually prove more expensive than paying the ruling high prices. The programme was therefore resumed, and the following buildings have been dealt with : Schools —Dannevirke North, Norsewood, Ngamoko, and Makotuku ; residences —Dannevirke North, Norsewood, Ngamoko, and Makotuku. Finance. —The receipts for the year totalled £95,107 ss. 4d. and the expenditure £101,841 os. Bd. The credit balance on all accounts on 31st December was £5,973 13s. lOd. School Committees. —The Board desires to express its appreciation of the manner in which School Committees have co-operated with the Board in the administration of the Act and in the cause of education generally. The past year has been full of special difficulty owing to the fact that, while the cost of everything in connection with schools has greatly increased, Committee incomes were not proportionately raised. That Committees generally have, though under strong protest, risen to the occasion is proved by the large sum raised by way of voluntary contributions. I have, dec, The Hon. the Minister of Education. G. F. Roaoh, Chairman.

seek re-election. Their places were filled by the election of Messrs. J. J. Clark and J. P. Shand (city and adjacent boroughs) and C. I. Harkness (Hutt-Horowhenua). Messrs. Forsyth, London, Hogg, and McCallum were re-elected. The Board has placed on record its warm appreciation of the excellent service to education rendered by Messrs. Aitken, Allan, and Kebbell during their many years of membership. Mr. T. Forsyth was elected Chairman. The Board's representative managers of technical schools were : Wellington—Messrs. T. Forsyth, J. J. Clark, J. P. Shand, C. M. Luke, and G. L. Stewart; Petone—Messrs. G. T. London and D. McKenzie; Masterton— Mr. A. W. Hogg. Schools and Attendance. —Eleven small schools were closed and fourteen were opened or reopened, so that at the end of the year there were in operation 254 schools, an increase of three since the end of 1917. The average roll for the year was 24,800 and the average attendance 22,315, the increase in the roll over the previous year being 742 and in the average attendance 511. Of the 25,134 on the roll in December, 13,104 were boys and 12,030 were girls. In view of the prevalence of epidemic sickness, an attendance of 90 per cent, of the average roll is very satisfactory. There were 1,313 communications with parents in relation to irregular attendance. After making allowance for individual instances of hardship, and for circumstances of difficulty arising out of the war, it was unfortunately found necessary to take proceedings in 143 cases. The Board again records its strong conviction that it should be made a punishable offence to employ during school hours any child below the standard or the 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 : —

Grand totals : Certificated, 462; licensed, 16; uncertificated, 168. Males. Females. Pupil-teachers ... ... ... ... ... ... 10 33 Probationers ... ... ... ... ••• -•• 5 46 Totals ... ... ... ... ••- 15 79 Quite a number of teachers included in the number of unlicensed and unclassified have passed either the full examination or all except one or two subjects, or are under age. 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 at Wellington and Masterton. (2.) Marlborough: No Saturday classes were held. The correspondence course, covering the "D" programme, was continued. The number of teachers who availed themselves of the instruction provided was twenty-two. Owing to the epidemic the usual summer school was abandoned. (3.) A fortnight's course in elementary agriculture, held at Masterton District High School in August, was attended by twenty-two teachers. The purpose of the_ course was—(i) To prepare for the certificate, (ii) to increase'the general efficiency of instruction in the subject. The instructors report in the highest terms of the earnest spirit of work and study. (4.) A course designed to assist teachers in remote places to qualify for the certificate, and proposed to be held at the Training College, Kelburn, was necessarily abandoned owing to the epidemic. Training College.— -The following are the essential statistics of the institution : (1.) The total number of students'was 136—21 men and 115 women. Seven of the men were absent on military service (2.) First-year students, 74; second-year students, 62. (3.) Students classified—Division A 119; B, li; C, 3; D, 3. (4.) Districts: Wellington, 50; Hawke's Bay, 20; Taranaki, 11; Canterbury, 1; Southland, 1; Wanganui, 32; Nelson, 20; Otago, 1. In addition to the large number who thus are required to leave their homes in order to pursue their education, there is also a very large number of young women engaged in Wellington schools who require to live in lodgings. In view of the great need of these young women, the Board earnestly urges that the question of adequate provision of hostel accommodation for young women teachers and for students be faced and dealt with. _, Report of Inspectors.—ln their report, now printed by courtesy of the Director, the Inspectors give the following general estimate of the efficiency of the schools of the district: Good to very Trood 92 schools; satisfactory to good, 125 schools; fair to moderate, 36 schools; inferior, 7 schools. The arrangements made by'the Inspectors of this district for the award of proficiency certificates in the special conditions imposed by influenza worked so satisfactorily as to justify a further trial of the method in order to reduce permanently, if possible, having regard to efficiency, the amount of formal examination work required of pupils. Further, the Board is quite in accord with the suggestion that the primary leaving-certificate should be simplified. District High Schools.—\ 'See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.]

Owing partly to the spring school, improvement is observable both in matter and method. The services of a third instructor were secured after the end of the year, so that more frequent assistance and supervision will be available. Scholarships. —There were current at the end of 1918 twenty-four Senior and forty-five Junior Scholarships. On 31st December, 1918, five Senior and eight Junior Scholarships expired. There were awarded on the results of the 1918-19 examination sixteen Senior and twenty-one Junior Scholarships. Mr. J. L. Heckler has very generously established the " Heckler Memorial Scholarship," which will be awarded for two years, each year up to 1931, to the son of a fallen soldier, and is of amount sufficient (£6l 10s.) to meet all charges at Wellington College. The Board has received so few of such benefactions that it records this one with the greater satisfaction. Medical Inspection. —The Board recognizes with appreciation the excellent work accomplished by the Medical Inspector and her assistants. It notes with pleasure an intention to extend the work in the near future. Buildings. —The main building of the Normal School, Kelburn, was under construction, and the Board notes with extreme satisfaction that at last effective steps have been taken to provide a technical college for Wellington. The ordinary maintenance work of the district has been carried on in conditions of much difficulty, owing to scarcity of skilled labour and high price of material. Owing to increased numbers, and to the condition of the premises, a great deal of work could be no longer delayed, and such as was necessary has been carried out at greatly increased cost. New schools were erected at Opaki (to replace one destroyed by fire), at Pukenui. and a side school at Seatoun. Additions were erected at Karori, Upper Hutt, Levin District High School, Hutt District High School, Island Bay, Lyall Bay, and Muritai, and residence additions at Porirua. Maintenance overhaul was undertaken at twenty-five schools, eleven residences, with improvements in five. New conveniences and shelter-sheds were provided at eight schools, and other works were carried out at eleven schools. Accommodation is now urgently required at Berhampore, Eastern Hutt, Lansdowne, Poroporo, Kilbirnie, Mangaroa, South Miramar, Martinborough, Petone West, Solway, Carterton, and Wantwood. The Board appreciates the offer of increased comfort in the home of the country teacher. School Precincts. —For four years the Board has supplied trees to those schools where the Committee and the staff undertook to prepare the ground, plant and protect the trees. The reports reaching the Board indicate success. At many schools excellent progress has been made towards creating beauty and taste in the school precincts. The Senior Instructor in Agriculture remarks, " The general appearance of our school-grounds shows steady improvement. Hedges, shade and shelter trees, and lawns in many cases have replaced tumbledown fences and unsightly fields." School Libraries. —The Board commends to Committees and teachers the opportunity for establishing and extending the school library by subsidy on moneys locally raised. The library policy of the City Council has benefited twenty-five schools. To the pupils 62.800 individual loans were made from a total supply of 6,703 books. Finance. —On the Ist January, 1918, there was a net balance to credit amounting to £14,367 2s. 3d. Following is a summary of the receipts and payments for the year : Receipts, £192,258 Is. 10d.; payments, £195,956 Bs. 3d. On the 31st December, 1918, the net balance to credit amounted to £10,668 15s. lOd. The balance to credit at the bank on the 31st December was £696 12s. sd. The amount of unpresented cheques was £1,027 16s. 7d. There was on deposit for rebuilding the sum of £11,000. Forty School Committees applied for Government subsidy on local contributions totalling £766 12s. lid. General. —The Board observes with pleasure the measure of benefit conferred on teachers by the recent salary increases, and it recognizes with what untiring effort you have endeavoured to secure improved conditions. It assumes, however, that the whole question of the emolument and status of the teacher is receiving that attention which its importance and urgency demand. Already great harm has resulted from years of delay. No measure can be adequate which fails to recognize as a minimum of emolument a rate at least equal to that of equivalent ranks in the Civil Service, which does not make substantial increase of emolument to the teacher of the country school, and which does not provide a sufficient allowance to permit of every teacher's undergoing a sufficient, training. Let the facts be faced kindly, firmly, and justly. If the child is the most precious possession of the State, let that be our guiding conviction in the measures for its education. The Board welcomes the increasing recognition of the need for increased expenditure on education to secure efficiency. It trusts that as a measure of justice the refund to it may be approved of moneys necessarily expended in excess of grants in— (a) Purchase and extension of sites, and (b) erection of new buildings. Large expenditures are advisable as soon as conditions approach normal. I have, &c, The Hon, the Minister of Education, Wellington, T. Forsyth, Chairman.

NELSON. SlK >— Nelson, 6th July, 1919. I. iiave the honour to furnish a report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board for the year 1918. The Board. —The members of the Board are Messrs. W. Lock and E. E. Boyes, representing the Nelson Urban Area; Messrs. F. W. 0. Smith and E. J. Scantlebury, representing the East Ward of the Rural Area; Messrs. W. C. Baigent and T. Symes, representing the North Ward of the Rural Area; and Messrs. D. J. Williams and A. C. Cottrell, representing the West Ward of the Rural Area. At the annual meeting in August Mr. F. W. 0. Smith was elected Chairman. Mr. G. H. Gothard, the former Chairman, did not seek re-election as member owing to ill health, and his enforced retirement was much regretted by the Board. The Chairman (Mr. Smith) continues to represent the Board on the Board of Governors of Nelson College and on the Council Of Victoria University College. Eleven meetings were held during the year, the November meeting being abandoned on account of the influenza epidemic and consequent difficulty of travelling. Primary Schools. —There were 137 schools in operation at the end of the year, the number including nine side schools. Twelve schools were opened or reopened during the year and three schools closed. Thus nine schools were added to the list for the year, the majority of them, however, being Grade 0 or Grade I schools. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Scholarships. —The number of National Scholarships held at the end of the year was twentyone. The majority of the holders of scholarships attend at the Nelson Colleges. Two war bursaries were awarded during the year. Attendance, —The total number of children on the roll of the public schools at the end of the year was 7,146, and the average attendance for the year was 6,258, an increase of thirty-nine for the year, and the highest average attendance yet recorded for the district. The attendances for the December quarter were adversely affected by the disastrous influenza epidemic, but the Department's action in allowing the quarter to be disregarded in the computation of the yearly average attendance was appreciated. Buildings. —l am glad to report that a very marked improvement in the condition of our school buildings generally has been accomplished, mainly through the efforts of the Building Supervisor and the carrying-out of repair-work, renewals, &c, direct by the Board. Each portion of the district has been taken in turn, and the employment of reliable tradesmen under expert supervision has given great satisfaction. In common with other advances in price the cost of buildings,. &c, is a heavy item, and it is respectfully submitted that the basis of the allowances for maintenance and rebuildings cannot include provision for the .expenditure required nowadays. Though a debit balance is shown on the Maintenance of Buildings Account it is necessary to state that some £350 of materials were on hand and paid for before the end of the year. The following works were carried out during the year : Additions to schools at Richmond, Ranzau, Karamea, and Tahuna; the removal of Brighton School to Punakaiki; new schools at Korere, Gowan Valley, Mapua, and Inangahua Landing; a manual-training school at Takaka; and additions to the Technical School, Nelson. Substantial improvements have also been effected to a large number of schools and residences. Manual and Technical. —The reports of the Directors of the Technical Schools at Nelson and Westport afford a good indication of the progress made at these schools. At Nelson additional accommodation was provided for the engineering classes, now an important branch of the school's activities. Equipment is urgently required for the workshops, and the school still remains in urgent need of painting and renovation, a grant for which was applied for early last year. It is unfortunate, too, that the school-site is much too small, and steps will have to be taken sooner or later to secure buildings and surroundings more in keeping with the needs of the institution. The Westport School continues to carry on very good work. The great feature of this school is the splendidly directed and equipped engineering department. Technical classes are also conducted at Reefton. Boards of Managers will be set up this year for both the Nelson and Westport Schools. Manual-training classes are carried on in the principal schools, and the agricultural instructor conducts special classes in addition to his visits to primary schools. The cost of carrying on the various branches of manual-training and handwork instruction is increasing to such an extent that unless substantial assistance is forthcoming, either in increased capitation rates or in providing the salaries and expenses of instructors and cost of materials, it will be incumbent on the Board to retrench. Finance. —Owing principally to the increased expenditure on manual and technical instruction the accounts disclose a debit balance at the end of the year. Grants, required in respect of several items of buildings, equipment, &c, are being applied for, and every effort is being made to place all special and general accounts on a proper footing; and in this connection I hope to report a much improved position at the end of this year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. F. W. 0. Smith, Chairman.

CANTERBURY. Slß,— Christchurch, 7th May, 1919. I have the honour to present the following report of the proceedings of the Education Board of the District of Canterbury for the year ending 31st December, 1918 :— The Board. —During the year Mr. T. W. Adams, who had been a member of the Education Board for twenty-five years, resigned through failing health, and Mr. W. M. Hamilton, who had been a member for fifteen years, withdrew from the Board on account of business engagements. In July an election was held to fill these vacancies, and also those caused by the biennial retirement of members in each ward and urban area in accordance with the provisions of the Education Act. The following were elected unopposed : Christchurch Urban Area —Messrs. Ernest Herbert Andrews and John Jamieson; Timaru Urban Area—Mr. John Maze; North-west Ward — the Hon. Joseph Grimmond. For the Middle Ward Mr. William A. Banks was re-elected, and Mr. William Pritchard Spencer and Mr. Thomas Hughes were elected to fill the respective vacancies caused by the resignations of Mr. Adams (Middle Ward) and Mr. Hamilton (South Ward). The membership of the Board is now as follows : Christchurch Urban Area—Messrs. E. H. Andrews, J. Jamieson, C. H. Opie, and A. Fever ill; Timaru Urban Area—Messrs. C. S. Howard and J. Maze; North-west Ward—Mr. J. H. Bignell and Hon. J. Grimmond; Middle Ward—Messrs. W. A. Banks and W. P. Spencer; South Ward—Messrs. G. W. Armitage and T. Hughes. At a special meeting of the Board held on the 4th September, 1918, Mr. W. A. Banks was elected Chairman of the Board. The following standing committees were also set up, the Chairman of the Board being ex officio member of each committee: Agriculture—Mr. Howard (chairman), Mr. Bignell, Hon. Mr. Grimmond, Messrs. Hughes, Maze, and Opie; Appointments—Mr. Andrews (chairman), Messrs. Bignell, Howard, Hughes, and Opie; Buildings—Mr. Jamieson (chairman), Mr. Armitage, Hon. Mr, Grimmond, Messrs. Maze, Peverill, and Spencer; Finance—Mr. Peverill (chairman), Messrs. Andrews, Armitage, Bignell, Hon. Mr. Grimmond, and Mr. Jamieson. Mr. Armitage subsequently resigned, Mr. Spencer being appointed in his place. Board's Representatives. —At the end of the year 1918 the Board's representatives on the several public bodies were as follows : —High School Boards : Akaroa —Messrs. W. K. Virtue and It. Latter; Ashburton —Messrs. J. Tucker and W. B. Denshire; Greymouth —Mr. W. R. Kettle; Hokitika—Mr. W. H. Michel; Rangiora—Messrs. H. Boyd and W. A. Banks; Timaru—Mr. C. S. Howard; Waimate—Messrs. W. Lindsay and G. J. A. Shackleton. Boards of Managers of Technical Classes: Christchurch —Messrs. C. H. Opie, M. Dalziel, and S. C. Owen; Banks Peninsula (Akaroa) —Mr. J. D. Bruce; Ashburton—Messrs. J. Tucker and G. W. Andrews; Kaiapoi — Messrs. J. H. Blackwell and T. Doud; Timaru—Messrs. G. J. Sealey and J. G. Gow; Temuka— Messrs. G. W. Armitage and G. Thompson; Waimate —Messrs. T. W. Manchester and E. Hassall; Fairlie—Mr. T. Foden; Pleasant Pomt —Mr. J. Maze. Buildings —During the year new schools were erected at Jack's Mill, Lagmhor, Parnassus, and Rewanui; arrangements were made for the building of new schools at Culverden and Teschemaker's; and additions were completed or authorized at Cameron's, Cashmere, Highbank, Fairton, Ouruhia, Sutherland's, and Waikuku. Part of the teacher's residence at Clarkville was rebuilt, and the erection of a teacher's residence at Fairton and the rebuilding of the Pleasant Valley School were authorized. The largest work undertaken was the rebuilding of the Ashburton School, towards the cost of which Mr. H. Friedlandcr generously donated £1,000. The building, which is of brick with slate roof, contains six large class-rooms with all modern improvements. The Board also commenced the rebuilding of Sydenham and St. Albans Schools. In the former case four rooms are being erected, forming the first portion of a two-storied brick building to replace the present old wooden school. At St. Albans three rooms have been erected as the first section of a modern one-storied brick school, which will be completed as funds permit. Application has been made to the Department for its share of the cost of rebuilding parts of the Opawa and Christchurch West Schools, and at date of writing this report a favourable reply has been received in the former case. The Board sent one of its members and its architect to the Chatham Islands to report on the condition of the schools there. As a result of this visit it was decided to make application to the Department for a grant for the erection of new schools at Owenga and Te Roto, and to have the most necessary repairs at the other schools and residences there carried out. A workshop was erected on the Board's section in Moorhouse Avenue, and machinery installed for the making of school furniture, and the providing of better facilities for the carrying-out of building and repair work. Repair staffs are now stationed in Christchurch, Timaru, and Greymouth, and most of the work is carried out by them. This arrangement has proved satisfactory, and the Board is now extending the operations of its building staff and erecting many of its new schools by its own workmen. In the case of over sixty schools a sum of £50 or over was expended either on repairs, renovations, or furniture, or on improvements to school-grounds. Owing to the present high cost of material, the Board, in the interests of economy, is holding over as much rebuilding and repair work as possible. This particularly applies to painting and renovations, and consequently considerable arrears of such work will have to be carried out when conditions become more normal. A school-site of 4 acres was purchased in Lyttelton Street, Spreydon. The North New Brighton leasehold site was converted into freehold by special legislation. The Department has now granted the Board permission to purchase a new and larger site for the Cobden School, and 2J acres are being secured from the Public Trustee. The old school-site at Akaroa was sold to the Akaroa War Memorial Association. Finance. —The close of the year 1918 witnessed a further improvement in the Board's financial position. After making provision to meet the debit balances on all special accounts except the Technical Account, the Board's General Fund, taking into consideration assets and liabilities, showed a credit balance of £5,366 2s. 3d. As the Technical Account is expected to recover itself,

XII

the present deficit of £1,207 7s. 6d. is being carried forward. As regards the Buildings Account, there was a debit of £2,829 18s. 3d. on Building Maintenance, mainly owing, it may be remarked, to necessary expenditure on the establishment of workshops and supplies of building-material. In order to gradually meet this deficit it will be necessary for the Board to exercise economy when authorizing expenditure from this fund. The Rebuilding Account was in credit at the close of the year by the sum of £17,249 14s. 10d., after providing for a proposed transfer to meet a deficit of £1,060 2s. 9d. on the New Buildings Account. Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the end of the year, including eight aided schools but excluding eight side schools, was 380, classified as follows : Grade 0, 16; Grade I, 111; Grade 11, 93; Grade 111, 108; Grade IV, 19; Grade V, 13; Grade VI, 4; Grade VII, 16: total, 380. During the year schools were opened at Cameron's, Glen Alton, Huntingdon, Lagmhor, Mount Nessing, Parnassus, and Teschemaker's, and closed at Bushside, French Farm, Greta, Lake Kanieri, and Waikerikeri. The schools at Cricklewood, Four Peaks, and Kisselton, which had been closed for a time, were reopened, The undermentioned table shows the number of schools at the end of the year of each decade given, and at the end of the years 1917 and 1918; also the number of children on the rolls, the approximate number in average attendance, and the percentage of attendance : —

The marked decrease in the percentage of attendance as compared with the previous year was owing to the prevalence of sickness among the children during the greater part of the year. Maintenance. —The total expenditure on primary salaries for the year 1918, including £3,760 19s. 3d. house allowances and £1,035 6s. lid. for relieving teachers, was £165,436 17s. sd. The salaries paid to teachers in secondary departments amounted to £6,078 17s. Id., and the sum of £9,593 6s. lid. was distributed as war bonuses to primary, secondary, and technical teachers. The following table shows the expenditure on salaries and incidentals for each year mentioned : —

Teachers' Salaries. —At the end of 1918 new regulations were issued by the Department, providing for considerable increases in the salaries and allowances of teachers, pupil or " junior " teachers, probationers, and training-college students; also for some increase in the staffs of the larger schools. The Board is pleased that the claims of the teachers to increased salary, owing to the higher cost of living, have been recognized. Already the better remuneration now offered to junior teachers and probationers has been the means of inducing more to enter the teaching profession. The provision of an assistant for every forty children in average attendance over 521 is a step in the right direction. Hitherto in many schools some of the classes have been too large to enable the teachers to do justice to their pupils. This defect will now be remedied to some extent, but it is felt that even more relief should be given by still further strengthening the staffs of the larger schools. School Staffs. —There were 974 teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1918. Of these, 380 (158 males and 222 females) were head teachers or in sole charge; 470 (68 males and 402 females) were assistants; and 124 (20 males and 104 females) were pupil-teachers. There were in addition 79 (9 males and 70 females) probationers and 25 sewing-mistresses in small schools in charge of male teachers. 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 £3,508 19s. Conveyance allowance was paid in respect of 830 children, and boarding-allowance for sixty-five children. Following upon the increased capitation now paid for conveyance of children and the doubling of the boarding-allowance, of which all Committees have been informed, it is anticipated that the expenditure under these headings will show a large increase for the current year. Scholarships. —The number of candidates for Junior National Scholarships was 287—girls, 168; boys, 119. Of these, thirty-eight qualified —eleven girls and twenty-seven boys. One successful candidate had been attending a sole-charge school —viz., Arundel; eleven had been

attending large primary schools, and twenty-six had been attending district high schools and secondary schools. For the Senior Scholarships there were 126 candidates —girls, 53; boys, 73. Of these, twenty qualified—nine girls and eleven boys. For the two Gammack Scholarships there were twelve candidates. Committee Incidental Allowances. —The continued high prices ruling for fuel and material required in connection with the heating and cleaning of the schools make it very difficult for Committees to meet the expense of such items out of the usual allowances for incidental expenses. In order to assist Committees as far as it is practicable the Board pays them in the aggregate considerably more than the amount received from the Department for this purpose. Some relief has been given by the Government granting an extra allowance of approximately 2s. 6d. per pupil, but even this additional grant does not meet the increased cost of labour and materials. Irregular Attendance. —The Truant Officer reported that notices had been sent to the parents of 1,715 children, and that' Court proceedings had been taken in 99 cases. Sickness among the children during the year has been more continuous and varied than on any previous occasion for years past. Owing to the shortness of labour a number of children have been employed by parents, and this has interfered to some extent with the attendance. Cowie Bequest. —The late Mr. Alexander Cowie made a bequest of £200 per annum for the establishment of a scholarship tenable at a State or Protestant secondary school or at Canterbury College. The Board has placed on record its high appreciation of the generous bequest, and regulations to meet the conditions of the bequest are now under consideration. The War. —The war, which has now happily come to a close, materially affected the school staffs, in all 119 teachers, including forty-eight pupil-teachers, probationers, and students, having joined the Expeditionary Forces. The Board was fortunately able in nearly all cases to secure satisfactory relieving teachers to fill the temporary vacancies. The teachers are now returning from the front, but in view of the retirement of many, either on superannuation or owing to marriage, there will be no difficulty in securing positions for the temporary teachers being displaced. Manual and Technical Instruction, —These two important branches of education received a considerable impetus during the year. Elementary handwork was taken at all schools in the district. The Supervisor reports that teachers showed greater keenness than usual to take up advanced branches of handwork. Arrangements have been made for a greatly increased building programme during the incoming year. Although the attendances at technical and continuation classes were still very much affected by war conditions, successful courses of instruction were carried on at till the principal centres of the district. Teachers' classes have been conducted at Timaru, Greymouth, and Christchurch. These classes have been well attended, and the instruction given has been very useful to the younger teachers both in their actual teaching and in their examination work. To sum up, there is ample evidence to show that manual and technical work throughout the district, despite the adverse conditions of the year, the war, the very severe winter, and the influenza epidemic, has made a steady advance. Managers, Christchurch Technical College. —Under the Education Act of 1914 the Board has the right to appoint eleven representatives to the Board of Managers of the Christchurch Technical College, instead of three as formerly. The Board accordingly proceeded to appoint eight additional members; but at the October meeting, on the anomaly giving the Board such a large representation being recognized, the appointees agreed—on the recommendation of the Education Hoard —not to take their seats during the year. This courteous proceeding was very much appreciated by the Department, which stated that during the coming session of Parliament the Act would be amended, giving the Board more adequate representation. Agriculture. —The interest in Agricultural education is still on the increase. _ For the first lime a permanent agricultural instructor was located on the Coast, thus enabling the rural course of instruction to be taken at Hokitika and Greymouth. In 212 primary sohools formal instruction in agriculture has been given. Owing to falling attendence, some difficulty has occurred in carrying out the practical work in connection with the secondary classes.

Brugh, and P. McKinlay, M.A.; Oamaru, Mr. James Mitchell; Milton, Messrs. P. McKinlay, M.A., and W. B. Graham. Number of Schools. —The number of schools in operation at the 31st December, 1918, was 257, four less than in the previous year. Six of these were household schools. Sixteen had an average attendance below 9, eighty from 9 to 20, fifty-five from 21 to 35, fifty-four from 36 to 80, fourteen from 81 to 120, seven from 121 to 160, five from 161 to 200, nine from 201 to 360, five from 361 to 500, and twelve over 500. Teachers. —On the 31st December there were in the Board's service 741 teachers, classified as under :— .. . _ . ■_ , , Males. Females. Total. Head teachers ... ... ... .. ... 98 5 103 Sole teachers ... ... ... ... ... 22 133 155 Assistant teachers ... ... ... ... 57 258 315 Total of adult teachers ... ... 177 396 . 573 Pupil-teachers ... ... ... 30 51 81 Probationers ... ... ... ... ... 9 43 52 Teachers of needlework ... ... ... 16 16 Manual and technical (special teachers) ... ... 10 9 19 Totals for 1918 ... ... ... 226 515 741 There were thirty-one permanent teachers absent on military service. The ratio of male teachers to female teachers employed in Otago has been for the past two years : Adult teachers —1917, 100 males to 228 females; 1918, 100 males to 224 females. Pupil-teachers and probationers—l9l7, 100 males to 258 females; 1918, 100 males to 241 females. During the year the Board appointed ninety-nine adult teachers. Sixty-two pupil-teachers and probationers were admitted to the service, of whom thirty-four had passed the Matriculation Examination, twenty had passed the Intermediate or the Public Service Entrance Examination, five held lower leaving-certificates, and three held proficiency certificates. Of the 573 adult teachers employed, 457 were fully classifier], 17 held licenses, and 98 were unclassified and unlicensed. Of the 457 certificated teachers, 10 were in Class A, 50 in Class B, 202 in Class C, 180 in Class D, and 15 in Class E. Attendance of Pupils. —To a, greater extent than has been the case for many years past the attendance was detrimentally affected by bad weather and the prevalence of sickness. A few schools were closed for various periods on account of diphtheria, while early in November the disastrous visitation of influenza necessitated the complete stoppage of school-work for the remainder of the year. The average roll, average attendance, and percentage of average attendance were —Average roll, 22,155; average attendance, 20,230; percentage, 91*31. The mean roll number shows an increase of 27 for the year, the average attendance a decrease of 249, and the percentage of attendance a decrease of I*l9. 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, 1918, were—Class P, 6,968 (31*2 per cent.); SI, 3,077 (13*8 per cent.); S2, 2,801 (12-6 per cent.); S3, 2,833 (12*7 per cent.); S4, 2,652 (11*9 per cent.); S5, 2,343 (10*4 per cent.); S6, 1,612 (72 per cent.); S7 (exclusive of secondary pupils of district high schools), 53 (o'2 per cent.) : total, 22,339. The figures for the secondary classes were —Boys, 116; girls, 155 : total, 271. Percentage: Boys, 43; girls, 57. Finance. —At the 31st December, 1917, the net balance to credit was £20,295 ss. 3d. The total receipts for the year 1918 amounted to £185,794 18s. 5d., and the total payments to £180,111 lis. 3d. The net balance to credit at 31st December last was £25,978 12s. sd. The Board trusts the Minister will soon find himself able to refund to Boards the amounts they have had to spend in past years out of their General Fund on relieving teachers, conveyance of children, and purchase of school-sites. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] School of Art. —[See E.-5, Report on Technical Education.] Junior and Senior National Scholarships. —Of the 1,612 pupils in S6 in the last quarter of the year, 199 (or 12*3 per cent.) were competitors for Junior Scholarships, and of these 30

(or 16 per cent.) qualified for scholarships. The total number awarded in the Dominion was 205, so that 146 per cent, was gained by the pupils from this district. For the Senior Scholarships there were 96 competitors, of whom 12 (or 125 per cent.) were successful. There were 126 scholarships current at the end of the year : 90 were Junior Nationals and 36 were Senior Nationals, 34 of them were held by girls and 92 by boys. The conduct, diligence, and progress of all of them were reported favourably upon by the Principals of the secondary schools they attended. Agricultural Instruction. —The school-garden is a valuable aid to the study of the life, growth, and habits of living things, and, apart from its utilitarian aspect, offers excellent opportunities for increasing the child's faculty for accurate observation, thinking and deduction, and of creating an intelligent interest in his environment. The results of work along these lines reflect the skill and enthusiasm of the teacher, and in a number of schools a high standard has been attained. There remain a few schools, however, at which the treatment of the subject has failed to realize its possibilities, but with the additional instructor in agriculture which the Board has decided to appoint it is anticipated that the increased assistance that will in future be available will contribute towards effecting an improvement in these cases in method and results. Elementary agriculture has during the past year formed an integral part of the curriculum in 202 schools, while the rural-science course has been followed in seven of the district high schools. The expenditure on manual and technical training was: Salaries, material, &0., £4,628 2s. Id. for school classes and £1,253 Bs. lOd. for special classes; buildings, equipment, rent, &c, £511 9s. Id. : total, £6,393, being an increase of £773 9s. 4d. over the previous year. The excess of expenditure over receipts for the year was £310 19s. 4d. As the departmental capitation rates remain stationary at what they "were'many years ago, while the cost of all material has increased and the prevailing economic conditions have rendered necessary the augmentation of salaries, the Board anticipates having to face a larger deficit for the current year. It believes that a change in the method of financing the manual and technical instruction of the primary schools is long overdue, and that Boards should no longer be obliged to depend upon the precarious per capita payments. It trusts that the Department will, at an early date, fix the salaries to be paid for all agriculture, woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking instructors, and provide the amounts necessary for salaries and material. Swimming and Life-saving .—Classes were held in connection with twenty-nine schools, b4b boys and 703 girls of S4 receiving instruction. The expenditure on the instruction amounted to'£l72 6s. 5d., and the Government capitation received was £180 2s. 6d. A weekly lesson of about half an hour's duration was given to each class, the course extending over a period of five months Most of the pupils have in that time learned to swim, many of them attaining a fair degree of proficiency. The Board is impressed with the necessity for giving every facility for the practice of our young people in this important and beneficial exercise, and regrets that the time for which the baths can be used permits of only one standard being taken. Training College.—The enrolment for the year was 89 women and 21 men, total 110, comprising 70 students from Otago, 26 from Southland, 12 from Canterbury, and 1 each from Hawke's Bay and Wanganui. Bursaries, lodging-allowances, and travelling-expenses amounted to £6,278 6s 7d., college fees to £818 15s. 3d.; total, £7,097 Is. lOd. The Principal reports that of the men students who entered the College since 1913 (the year before the war) fifty-six have gone to the front or to camp. Of these, eleven have been killed, and many wounded more or less severely The provision of a hostel is the salient need of the College at the present time, and in view of the fact that sixty-six of last year's women students had to live away from home to attend the College, the urgency for taking immediate steps in this matter is again impressed upon the attention of the Government. The accommodation provided at the Training College is quite inadequate for the number now enrolled, and if, as the Department evidently contemplates, the number of trainees is to be increased, a considerable extension of the college buildings is absolutely necessary and must be undertaken at an early date. Truancy —The Board's Truant Officer served 360 notices on parents or guardians for infringements of the Act; 217 cases of irregular attendance were investigated; 20 penalty summonses were issued under section 62 of the Act, (the lowest number since 1901) Conviction., were obtained in all the cases brought before the Court, the fines amounting to £6 lis Of 141 pupils in classes below S6 in the city and suburbs who, having reached the age of fourteen years terminated their school course in December, 1918, three had passed S2, fourteen had passed S3, fortysix had passed S4, and seventy-eight had passed SB, ji.u™,. Buildings.- -War conditions, with building-material at extremely high prices and labour difficult to procure, have had the effect during the past year of circumscribing and lessening the Board's activities in the direction of carrying out desirable improvements. The condition of the buildino-s has, however, been carefully watched, and renovations, repairs, and paint,ng-work necessary for their preservation have been attended to as circumstances permitted. New schools have been erected at Tuapeka Flat, Puketi. and Tawhiti; while at Five Forks a schoolroom was provided by the removal of an unused room from Waianakarua, and an additional class-room was provided at Moa Creek by the removal of an unused one from Naseby. New infant-rooms were erected at Maori Hill, also open-fronted sheds in which classes are taught during the fine weathe thus making it possible to carry out, to a considerable extent, the injunction to teach Ts much' as possible in the'open air. At Kensington School a teacher's retiring-room was erected and the office enlarged, and at Mosgiel a teacher's room and office were provided. Elderslie School was also enlarged. Small additions were erected to the residences at Ratanu, and Roxburgh Tnd new outhouses and conveniences of an up-to-date character have been provided for several schook and residences throughout, the district. Special attention has been given to the provision of clr nking-fountains, with the result that quite a number of our schools are now equipped with an approved system/ At Arthur Street School new out-offices with up-to-date drainage were consisted, and improvements effected in the lighting and ventilation of two of the class-rooms.

Ope?i-atr Classes.—A number of schools the grounds of which, as regards aspect and shelter, are favourable for the instruction of classes in the open air have been supplied by the Board with seats and desks for this purpose. At these schools some of the work of every class is taken daily in the open air, except in stormy weather. School-sites. —The Board again appeals to the Department to grant the full cost of necessary additions to school playing-areas, also to make, by the timely purchase of suitable school-sites, provision for school extension in rapidly growing districts. Certificates. —1,290 proficiency certificates and 170 certificates of competency in S6 were granted. to the influenza epidemic these passes were awarded (without special examination) after a conference between the Inspectors and head teachers. About 80 per cent, of the pupils received proficiency and 10| per cent, competency certificates. School Libraries. —The Board is pleased to report that during the year fifty-four School Committees applied for and received subsidies on local contributions for the provision of approved books for the school library and pictures for the school-walls. Thirty book-cases were supplied free by the Board. The subsidies amounted to £110 17s. Bd., and the book-cases cost £145 75., so that the Board's contribution for this purpose out of its General Fund was £246 4s. Bd. It is the Board's desire that School Committees shall take full advantage of the facilities which, by its library-subsidy scheme, it offers for the provision of interesting and instructive reading-matter for the school pupils. Teachers' Medical Certificates. —Under the existing regulations it is necessary for a teacher, at his own expense, to provide at least two, and in many cases three, satisfactory medical certificates —one before appointment as a junior teacher or probationer, one when he seeks admission to the Training College, and one before his teacher's certificate is issued to him. In other branches of the Public Service one certificate suffices. While not advocating that for teachers all medical examinations except the initial one should be dispensed with, the IJoard thinks that the expense of any subsequent examinations deemed necessary should be borne by the State, and recommends accordingly. Week-end Training-classes. —Although it is not compulsory for junior teachers and probationers employed in country schools to attend classes in Dunedin in drawing, singing, science, and physical instruction, it is certain that they cannot obtain satisfactory instruction in some of these subjects in any other way. The Board is of opinion that under the circumstances these young teachers have a fair claim for a monetary allowance to meet their lodging-expenses in Dunedin on Friday nights. Hot, Lunches for School-children. —The Board has commended to School Committees the suggestion of the Minister that lunches brought from home by school-pupils be supplemented by hot soup, milk, or cocoa, and it understands that a number of schools have made a beginning in the direction desired. The chief difficulty will, no doubt, be found to be the financial one. The supplementary allowance granted by the Department for incidental expenses, from which it was. suggested portion of the cost might be taken, will, it is stated, be quite inadequate to meet the necessary outlay, and unless the parents are willing to contribute the major portion of the cost the provision of the hot drinks referred to wjll be restricted to a small number of schools. Again, in the larger schools preparation of the hot drinks necessitates the extra service of the janitor or the janitor's wife, which means additional cost; and the serving-out entails the assistance of the teachers on the staff for a considerable portion of the midday recess, with the result that all of them have to sacrifice their lunch-hour on some days of the week. If the preparation, serving out, and clearing up are undertaken wholly by the senior girls, the lesson-time or the lunch-hour are for them considerably curtailed, and to this their parents are naturally not ready to assent. These are some of the difficulties which the Board foresees in connection with the scheme promulgated by the Minister; but, recognizing the beneficial results that will undoubtedly flow from it if inaugurated and administered in a liberal fashion, the Board is prepared to co-operate as far as lies in its power. It does not, however, believe that, under present conditions, the provision of meals of even a meagre character is possible at the larger schools. Minimum Qualifications for Junior Teachers and, Probationers. —The Board thinks that some modification of the new regulation eliminating the proficiency certificate as a qualification for the appointment of junior teachers is advisable. There are quite a number of promising applicants from country schools who have no opportunity of obtaining a higher examination status than the proficiency certificate, and who will thus be shut out from the teaching profession. A discretionary power might be given to Inspectors of Schools to recommend for these appointments suitable country pupils holding proficiency certificates. Increase in Teachers' Salaries. —The Board conveys its hearty congratulations to the Minister on the success which has attended his efforts to provide higher emoluments for all classes of primary-school teachers. Rightly considered, the teacher is the most influential of all public servants, and his remuneration should be proportionate to his essential value to the State. School-books and School Stationery. —For years past the books and drawing-books authorized for use in the schools of this district have been listed and lists furnished to the schools. Before the Minister's intimation of his intention to establish a central store for the purchase of school stationery was received the Board had decided upon recommending head teachers to compile, at suitable times or when necessity arises, lists of books required by the pupils, and send the lists in one order to a bookseller in' Dunedin, first collecting the money from the pupils. The prices at which these school orders can be filled in Dunedin (cash with order) is being ascertained, and the Board will state to the teachers the lowest prices and the name of the bookseller quoting these prices. It is further considering the desirability of standardizing exercise-books and scribblingpads, and adding them to the list mentioned above, giving stationers reasonable time to dispose of their stocks. Physical Instruction. —The Department's scheme of physical exercises has formed part of the course of instruction of all schools in the district.

Correspondence Classes for Uncertificated, Teachers. —Instead of holding week-end trainingclasses in various subjects of the curriculum for the Class D certificate the Board gave its support last year to a scheme of instruction by correspondence, contributing out of the departmental grant for this purpose half the fees of all teachers whose diligence and progress were favourably reported upon by the correspondence tutors. The results appear to have justified the Board in its adoption of this course, and it proposes to continue the scheme for the current year. The War: Roll of Honour. —Since the issue of the last report twenty-five teachers and Training College students have joined the Expeditionary Forces. The total number of the Board's employees who have proceeded on active service or to camp is 124. Of these, eighteen have fallen and twenty-five have been wounded. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. Wallace, Chairman.

SOUTHLAND. Sir, — Education Office, Invercargill, 27th March, 1919. In compliance with the requirements of the Education Act, 1914, the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year ending 31st December, 1918 : — The Board. —The members in office at the beginning of the year were Messrs. D. Gilchrist (Chairman), J. Findlay, J. Mac Gibbon, H. E. Niven, P. A. de la Perrelle, G. T. Stevens, J. C. Thomson, M.P., and J. D. Trotter. In conformity with the provisions of section 15 (4) of the Education Act, 1914, the Secretary drew lots as to which members should retire, with the following results, viz. : Invercargill Urban Area representative—Mr. G. T. Stevens ; East Ward representative • —-Mr. H. E. Niven; Central Ward representative—Mr. P. A. de la Perrelle; West Ward representative—Mr. J. Findlay. At the election held in July Messrs. Findlay and Perrelle were re-elected unopposed for the West and Central Wards respectively; while Messrs. F. W. Gresham and A. J. Nichol were elected for the Invercargill Urban Area and East Ward respectively. At the ordinary meeting of the Board held on the 23rd August Mr. J. C. Thomson, M.P., was unanimously elected Chairman for the ensuing two years. Messrs. J. C. Thomson and G. T. Stevens continue to act as the Board's representatives on the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools Board; Messrs. H. E. Niven, F. W. Gresham, J. C. Thomson, J. D. Trotter, and A. L. Wyllie, M.A., were appointed to represent the Board on the Southland Technical College Board; Messrs. D. Gilchrist, J. Mac Gibbon, and H. E. Niven are the Board's representatives on the Gore High School Board; while the Hon. T. Mac Gibbon, M.L.C., and Mr. G. T. Stevens represent the Board on the Otago University Council and the Training College Committee of Advice respectively. During the year eleven ordinary and two special meetings of the Board were held, while the Executive Committee, which consists of all the members of the Board, met twenty-one times. Schools. —The schools in operation at the close of the year numbered 191, as compared with 187 at the close of the preceding year. The 191 schools were graded as follows: Grade 0, 15; Grade I, 51; Grade 11, 44; Grade lIIa, 55; Grade lIIb, 7; Grade IVa, 4; Grade IVb, 6; Grade IVc, 1; Grade Vb, 2; Grade Vc, 1; Grade Yd, 1; Grade Vlb, 1; Grade VIIa, 2; Grade VIIc, 1. New schools were opened in the districts of Waimatua, Titipua (reopened), Beaumont (reopened), Waikana (reopened), Nine-mile, Lynwood, Mount Alfred, and Cainard, the four last named being household schools, while the schools at Glenham Sawmill, Longridge North, Raymonds Gap, and Lillburn were closed during the year owing to lack of attendance. In some of the localities where schools in Grade 0 have been opened the residents have been called upon to guarantee the salary of the teacher up to £100 per annum. This is a tax which the settlers in some cases are not able to bear. The Board is of the opinion that, instead of establishing household schools and paying capitation at the rate of £9 per pupil in average attendance, the Department should grant an allowance sufficient to cover the cost of boarding a child away from home in order that he might attend an efficient school. In the great majority of cases the teachers of household schools are inexperienced, consequently it would be more advantageous for the child to receive instruction from an efficient teacher. Grade 0 Schools. —The Board heartily endorses the Department's action in increasing ihe capitation allowance to aided schools from £8 to £9 per pupil. Demonstration Schools. —The need for the establishment in this district of at least one demonstration school is greater than ever. Owing to the absence of qualified or even partially trained applicants, the Board has been compelled during the last three years to appoint to several of its schools, especially those situated some distance from railway facilities, applicants who have had no previous experience in the management of schools. In the Education Act provision is made whereby the Board, with the approval previously obtained of the Minister, may establish any public school as a model school for the observation of and practice in the methods of teaching and of school management. The Board sincerely trusts that this appeal for the establishment of such a school will receive the Department's favourable consideration. Attendance of Pupils. —On the 31st December, 1918, there were 12,080 children on the rolls of the schools in this district —6,269 boys and 5,811 girls —a record for this education district. These figures, as compared with those of the year preceding, show an increase of 251 pupils. The average attendance for the year was 10,475, a result slightly lower than for the year preceding. The prevalence of influenza during the last months of the year has no doubt militated against what would otherwise have been a record average attendance for this district. The Truant Officer in his annual report to the Board states that he sent out 403 notices to defaulters, issued sixty-two summonses, and secured forty convictions. The amount of fines inflicted was £11 12s.

Teachers.— At the end of the year there were in the Roard's service 432 teachers The following table will show the distribution of the teaching staff in the schools in this education district :— _, , . , Male.

At the end of 1917 there were in the service of the Board 337 adult teachers, of whom 207 were certificated, 5 held licenses to teach, while the number of uncertificated teachers was 125. The percentage of fully certificated teachers was 62*2 for 1918, as compared with 6L4 in 1917. Included in the 119 teachers who are uncertificated are those who have passed the D or C examination but are unable to obtain their certificates until such time as they have complied with the condition regarding age, length of service, &c. In 1901 the number of male and female teachers was almost equal; at the end of 1918 the proportion of females to males was considerably over two to one. The Board views with alarm the steady decrease in the number of youths who are offering their services as pupil-teachers and probationers. At the end of 1909 there were forty-one female pupil-teachers and probationers and nineteen male; at the end of 1918 the figures show a proportion of eleven females to every male. The salaries at present paid are altogether inadequate as an inducement for promising lads to engage in this work. The best of the nation's youth are needed in the nation's schools, and in order to secure the best material for this branch of the Public Service the salary paid must be commensurate with the importance of education to the nation. As in the past, considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the services of suitable teachers to take charge of the lower-grade country schools. On several occasions the Board has been compelled to readvertise vacancies three and four times owing to the absence of even partially qualified applicants. The Board hails with satisfaction the advent of a much-improved scale of salaries to come into operation on the Ist January, 1919. For the year 1918 the expenditure on teachers' salaries amounted to £61,210 12s. 6d., an increase of £1,986 7s. Id. as compared with the previous year. Instruction of Teachers. —The usual Saturday classes for the training of uncertificated teachers were conducted by the Board for two terms, the first of thirteen weeks and the second of twelve weeks. The subjects in which instruction was given and the roll numbers in each case were as follows: Drawing (three classes), 78; vocal music (two classes), 33; needlework (two classes), 44; hygiene (two classes), 38; agriculture (two classes), 46; school method, 6; mathematics, 7; English, 7; cardboard-work, 29. For the benefit of pupil-teachers and probationers in attendance at the town and suburban schools afternoon drawing classes were held twice a week for a period of thirty-eight weeks, the roll number being twenty-two. At the close of the first term the students in the Saturday classes were examined in the work undertaken, but the abrupt termination of the classes as a result of the influenza epidemic made it impossible to complete all the examinations on the work of the second term. In practically all cases, however, the students were reported to have made satisfactory progress. To help teachers unable to attend the Saturday classes by reason of the remoteness of their schools intimation was made that on certain conditions assistance would be available towards payment of fees for tuition by correspondence, but only eleven teachers signified their intention to take advantage of the help thus provided by the Department. Scholarships. —The scholarships in tenure at the end of 191.8 were —Junior National, 40; Senior National, 8. The amount paid to scholarship-holders during the year was £951. Tn the Senior Division the only candidate who qualified for a scholarship was a pupil of the Southland Girls' High School. The results in the Lower Division are not yet to hand. Medical inspection. —During the year the larger schools in this district were visited by Dr. McCahon and, after this lady was transferred to Auckland, by Dr. Collier. During their visits they were accompanied by the Department's school nurse. As stated in a previous report, the Board is strongly of the opinion that there is not yet a sufficient number of Medical Inspectors to carry out successfully the medical examination of school-children. Every school should be visited and every child examined. Furthermore, if the examination reveals a weakness in the child the parents should be compelled to seek the necessary medical treatment for their offspring. No time appears more opportune than the present for the extension of the system of medical inspection, including the dental treatment of our boys and girls. Financial obligations should not be allowed to stand in the way of such an extension of the scheme as will ensure that the rising generation grow up to vigorous manhood and womanhood. School Dentists. —The Board notes with pleasure that the Minister has completed arrangements for the appointment of school dentists, whose duty it will bo to visit the schools in the outlying districts and treat children at their own schools for a very moderate charge. Physical, Instruction, —The Department's physical instructors visited most of the larger schools during the year. Instruction in the physical exercises as laid down by the Department is regularly given in most of the schools in this district. The improved carriage of the pupils, as well as the general tone and discipline of our schools, bear eloouent testimony to the value of physical instruction. With the Medical Inspectors, school dentists, and physical instructors working hand in hand beneficial results must accrue. During the month of September training classes in physical instruction were conducted by the Department's physical instructors, The«»

[Appendix A.

classes continued for a period of two weeks, and were attended by teachers who had not previously attended such a course and who had previously attended, but who would benefit from a refresher course. These classes were open to females only, owing to the fact that the services of a male instructor were not available. Conveyance and Board of Children. —The total amount paid by the Board under this head was £1,465 7s. 2d. Conveyance allowance amounting to £1,406 12s. 2d. was paid in respect of 314 children, and boarding-allowance amounting to £58 15s. in respect of thirteen children who require to live away from home in order to attend school. Of the improvements made by the Department in the new regulations regarding the conveyance and board of children, the following may be noted : (1) The extension of the allowance for conveyance whereby full payment will be made on account of children between five and seven years of age; (2) the payment, under certain conditions, of the allowance to children who ride on horseback to school; and (3) the payment of increased allowance for boarding from 2s. 6d. to ss. per week. Supplementary Readers. —Out of the grant received from the Department for supplementary readers the Board early in the current year supplied each pupil in Standards V and VI with a copy of Arnold's "Far Afield" and Marryat's "The Children of the New Forest" respectively. The cost of purchasing and distributing the books amounted to £263 9s. Id. Subsidies on Voluntary Contributions. —The Board is pleased to report a substantial increase in the number of School Committees who took advantage during the year of the provision made in the regulations for the payment of subsidies on voluntary contributions. The amount raised by Committees during the year by voluntary contributions, &c, amounted to £345, an increase of £230 17s. 4d. as compared with the amount raised in 1917. The payment of subsidies on voluntary contributions has enabled many Committees to carry out necessary improvements to their school-grounds. School Committees. —The Board continues to pay to Committees for incidental expenses a sum considerably in excess of the amount paid to the Board by the Department. The amount disbursed to Committees during the year was £4,720 13s. 2d. Included in this amount was the supplementary grant received from the Department to cover the increased cost of fuel, &c. The Board is pleased to report that for the current year the amount of the supplementary grant is considerably in excess of the amount paid last year. This additional payment will be made along with the ordinary quarterly allowance for March quarter. Buildings. —During the year new schools were erected at Waimatua and Haldane; additions were built to the Gore, Waimumu, Waihopai, St. George (twice), and Invercargill Middle. The new Manual-training School in Don Street was also completed, and is recognized as one of the most, up-to-date in the Dominion. The works now in hand are: Additions to schools at Waituna and Clifden ; the reinstatement of the school at Makarewa (destroyed by fire); and the erection of a new residence at Tuatapere. Extensive alterations to the residence at Rimu were also undertaken. The Board has continued its policy of erecting new buildings or additions to existing buildings and of effecting repairs with its own staff of workmen, with satisfactory results, although it was found that owing to the ever-increasing cost of materials and of workmen's wages the total cost in all cases was slightly in excess of the amount granted by the Department. Application has been made for the extra cost, which doubtless will be forthcoming. The periodical overhaul of existing buildings has been kept well in hand. During the year the school building at Glenham was destroyed by fire, while a portion of the Waihopai (Side) School similarly suffered. Improvements to school-grounds, under the supervision of the architect, have been carried out at Rimu, Waianiwa, and Myross Bush, while extensive improvements are now being effected at Gore. The above-mentioned improvements could not have been undertaken had the Committees not taken advantage of the Government subsidy on voluntary contributions. Tt would be to the mutual benefit of all concerned if more of the Committees took advantage of the system under which such subsidies are payable. The War. —Since the last report was written the Board regrets to have to report that three teachers have made the supreme sacrifice. Altogether seven members of the Board's teaching staff have given their lives on behalf of the Empire. Board Rules. —In order to comply with the conditions under which the Department was prepared to pay increased capitation to cover the cost of sick relieving-work the Board amended its rule, No. 70, which now reads as follows :— " During any period of twelve months the following periods, either in one or more portions, shall be allowed to a teacher during illness which renders him incapable of attending to his duties ; and every application for sick-leave must be accompanied by a medical or other certificate satisfactory to the Board. The Board may, however, give special consideration to teachers having special claims. Payment of salary shall not be allowed to any teacher who is absent on account of illness unless such teacher has been for twelve months continuously in the employment of the Board. Period of Servioe. Maximum Sick-pay. " Under five years ... ... ... One month's full pay. Five years and under ten years ... One month's full pay, followed by ons month's half-pay. Ten years and over ... ... ... Two months' full pay." Financial. —The receipts from all sources for the year 1918 were £96,243 ss. 10d., and the expenditure was £99,185 Is. 3d. In connection with the foregoing figures it has to be pointed out that the excess of expenditure over receipts is due to (1) heavy expenditure on stock, (2) the erection of the new manual school, and (3) the fact that there is a balance owing in connection with several grants not yet received from the Department. During the current year the rebuilding account will be largely drawn on to replace worn-out school buildings at Winton and Invercargill South, and the re-erection of the Makarewa School recently destroyed by fire. For these works a partial grant in aid will be provided by the Department. I have, &c, The Hon, the Minister of Education, Wellington, J, C. Thomson, Chairman,

The Epidemic. —Early in November it was found necessary to close the schools in this district in consequence of the epidemic, from the effects of which so many teachers and pupils were suffering. One result of this was that a considerable number of schools were visited only once, and some were not visited at all. A very large number of teachers look an active part in assisting in the work connected with the epidemic and helped very materially in the efforts that finally brought about its suppression. Uncertificated Teachers. —ln this large and growing district if is still necessary to employ a considerable number of uncertificated and inexperienced teachers, whose influence on (he school community must necessarily leave much to be desired. These conditions, which have always obtained more or less, have gradually become more pronounced during the progress of the war, so that at present it is no exaggeration to say that a relatively large percentage of our teachers are inefficient. The spread of settlement is making constant demands on educational resources, and if these are not very materially strengthened in the near future the outlook in regard to efficient training in backblock districts will be the reverse of promising. Now that the war is over our soldier teachers will soon be returning, and we may reasonably expect an appreciable accession of teaching-strength. But war experience will hardly stimulate recruiting for the ranks of teachers, so that we may lose the services of a number of young men who under normal conditions would probably have become junior teachers or probationers. More than ever is it necessary to establish training and practising schools for inexperienced teachers, or to arrange for some system of supervision by which the work of guiding and directing teaching-effort may be undertaken by competent authority. This work the Inspector is unable to do, for his energies are so fully occupied in discharging the duties of inspection in connection with the large number of schools he is required to supervise that there is but little time for other activities. The matter of securing efficient teaching for the country child is one of very real importance and of very real difficulty. The town school will always attract the better type of teacher; it is the country school whose outlook is so discouraging. During the year quite a number of teachers refrained from applying for country appointments carrying relatively large salaries, but readily accepted positions in the larger centres though the salaries attached to these were by comparison considerably smaller. We are of opinion that the country school in outlying districts will fail to attract a good type of teacher until the position is made more attractive— i.e., until the salary attached thereto is very substantially increased.

[Appendix B

Changes in Personnel of Teaching Staff. —In some districts the constant change of teacher is seriously affecting progress. In one portion of an Inspector's district, the staff of every school within a radius of ten miles from the principal school (ten or eleven schools in all) changed during the year, as did also the entire staff of the principal school, consisting of some six teachers. During the last couple of years more or less frequent, change has at times become unavoidable; none the less, however, is it highly detrimental to the progress of the communities concerned, and steps should at once be taken to prevent its continuance. Time spent in Preparatory Glasses. —We have so repeatedly drawn attention to the matter that we do so again with some reluctance, but the whole question is one of such importance that until some very material improvement follows our efforts we shall be obliged to continue their application. There may be some reason for the length of time many country children are kept in the preparatory classes : inefficient teaching, irregular attendance brought about by bad roads, long distances, and stormy weather, the difficulty of providing suitable instruction for classes whose members are in so many different stages of development and require such constant personal supervision, are all factors contributing to slow progress and may account for the retardation referred to. In the case of the child in the larger centre no such reasons exist, and it is to him we specially wish to draw attention. We find there are still a considerable number of highergrade schools where a large proportion of pupils are kept in the preparatory department for periods ranging from two and a half to three years. As only a very small percentage of these children gain more rapid promotion than from the lower to the next higher standard each year, it follows that a loss of six months or a year at the beginning of school life cannot be recovered during its currency, and that the pupil does not complete his primary-school training within the time generally admitted to be sufficient for the purpose. Besides, many of those in the upper division of the preparatory classes we find are doing a good deal of the work prescribed for SI, with the result that when they get into the higher standard they will in all probability either be marking time or going over more or less familiar work, an occupation certainly not tending to foster habits of application and industry. As we have stated in former reports, we are of opinion that the normal child should be able without undue effort to cover the preparatory work prescribed in the syllabus within two years, and we consider that all normal pupils should be promoted to SI within that period after being enrolled. Irregular Attendance. —ln the larger centres attendance is good; in many of the country districts great improvement is possible. We are not now referring to children living long distances from school, but to those whose homes lie within the limits defined by the Act. There seems to be little doubt that an appreciable number of children, living under conditions making attendance relatively easy, persistently absent themselves from school in defiance of the provisions of the Education Act and of the powers of the controlling authority. The following are a few typical cases: (a) Four pupils absent for upwards of three months; (6) boy absent for six months, S3; (c) family of three very irregular.; (d) two boys hardly attended one complete week during whole of one year. The children in all these cases are of school age, live within the distance limit, and none have passed S6. Many of the Native children attending European schools are amongst the worst offenders. As an example : one of the Inspectors writing in March says, "The number on the roll is eighteen, ten being Maoris and eight Europeans; but the attendance to-day was only seven, all Europeans. The average attendance for this year up to the present is only nine, scarcely any of the Maoris having returned to school since the Christmas holidays. In addition to the eighteen on the roll, there are in the district near the school at least seven other Maoris of school age, while in a village about two miles and a half away are several others also of school age. If all of school age attended I believe that there would be over thirty on the roll." The cases to whom reference is made have all been reported for irregular attendance. In connection herewith we would point out that if a pupil absents himself from school for an entire quarter the teacher is directed by regulation to remove his name from the register, so that if no effective action is taken during the quarter in question the pupil, having obtained his discharge, is apt to be forgotten. We are very strongly of opinion that, the whole matter of irregular attendance calls for immediate attention and remedial action. Original Work in Schools. —This heading implies not so much that the work is original in the sense that it has nowhere been attempted before, but that it is an effort to try methods not formerly applied by the teacher and to learn from the test of actual experience. One large school has adopted the practice of subdividing its classes into groups, some of which work by themselves (in the school-grounds when the weather permits) without the direct assistance of the teacher, who is thus able to concentrate on the weaker units. Another school allows its pupils (SO to S3) to do much of their reading silently from books selected from the library. The number of books read in this way per pupil during the year was on the average as follows: S6, 36; S5, 14; S4, 32; S3, 23. In a neighbouring school adopting the same method fifty books per unit were read in the upper division of the preparatory department. Tn one or two schools the isolated essay in S6 has been largely discontinued, and the more enterprising pupils have been encouraged to take up some subject—historical, scientific, or romantic —and devote their time to producing a continuous narrative. The surprising success achieved by quite a number of pupils tends to show that under the orthodox system much remarkable talent is .allowed to lie dormant. Attempts have been made in other schools to secure a more rapid style of writing, consistent with neatness and legibility, and experiments are also in progress to determine whether the use of lines is an aid or a hindrance. These are only a few of the tests that are being brought into operation. We would commend the attention of teachers to work of the kind. Research— we attach to the term the meaning expressed in the opening words of this paragraph —tends to keep the mind fresh and open and the ability vigorous and adaptable, and we hope that teachers where conditions are favourable will come to recognize the importance of conducting such experiments in methods of teaching as appear to offer encouraging prospects,

School Libraries.—ln the great majority of schools (large and small) libraries are recognized as a most necessary and important part of general equipment, and in practically all the large schools and many of the smaller ones class libraries are deemed essential. One of the most serious defects, however, in the majority of libraries is that they contain practically no history, science, or poetry. It is regrettable, when the more mentally alert are able to read over so many books during the course of the year, that none of these are either history or historical stories, geography, science, or poetry. The appetite undoubtedly exists—the feast alone is wanting. The problem is twofold—partly the lack of enthusiasm for these subjects by teachers, but primarily the difficulty of obtaining in sufficient quantity books adapted to the capacity of the pupils and yet written by experts and stylists. Outside Helpers.— ln a few schools a highly commendable system has been adopted of enlisting outside help from those enthusiastic in the cause of education. Thus men and women of action and of wide experience of travel or administration in other lands come and chat with pupils; others sing, or help with the sewing or swimming. In places, too, the officers of the agricultural and pastoral associations and Farmers' Unions are taking a more direct interest in the agricultural education of our schools. These activities might, with great advantage to all concerned, be greatly extended. If members of local bodies, prominent citizens, or those who have travelled in other lands could be induced from time to time to visit the schools and address the children, much interesting information and thought-compelling experience could be placed before pupils, and a more or less real connection established between the class-room and the living world outside. Child-labour. —We would again draw attention to the great injustice and injury that is being done to large numbers of children in country districts as a result of excessive demands on their assistance both before and after school-hours : these remarks apply more particularly to children living in districts where dairying is the prevailing industry. Teachers complain again and again, and with good reason, that their pupils do not and cannot make reasonable progress owing to the long hours they are compelled to work before leaving home in the mornings and after their return at the close of the school day. Our legislation rigidly prohibits the employment in a factory of a child under fourteen years of age, and yet there is nothing in the statute-book to prevent a farmer or labourer from making his children do half a day's work before they come to school and another quarter-day's work after they return home. The result of all this is very severely felt in many districts where normal progress is practically impossible. Determination of S6 Certificates. —In nearly all cases these certificates are determined towards the close of the year, either as the result of an examination conducted by an Inspector or, where this is impossible, by synchronous examinations supervised by teachers, the papers of which are forwarded to the office and marked by the Inspectors. This year (1918), however, owing to the epidemic and consequent closing of the schools, it was found impossible to hold any examinations, so the certificates were determined very largely on the teachers' recommendations and the results of the pupils' efforts as shown in examination records. In all cases where circumstances permitted' the head teacher or class teacher, or both, were consulted prior to the award; but in many cases it was found impossible to carry out this plan, so that it became necessary to accept the teachers' estimate of the pupils' qualifications without any personal consultation. In some cases we deemed it advisable to defer consideration of the teachers' recommendations until an Inspector had an opportunity of again visiting the schools. In general the scheme worked well, and teachers showed commendable restraint in recommending pupils; in all the larger schools this was most noticeable. There are, however, a large number of teachers whose experience and training are not such as to enable them to form a correct estimate of what is required, and others who find it difficult at times to resist local pressure or the promptings of personal feeling; so that, although the method adopted this year has in general succeeded, it would be unwise to abandon to any great extent the normal method of determining the award of these certificates on the result of the Inspector's examination. Classification of Pupils. —We are glad to be able to record that, in general, the classification of pupils was faithfully and carefully determined, it being quite an exception to find a school in which promotions had been made under either unduly lenient or unduly stringent conditions. Physical Training. —Most of the schools throughout the district are making progress with this most necessary work, and in some the instruction given and the results achieved are a credit to all concerned. It is becoming increasingly apparent, however, that in a large number of cases constant " refresher courses," or frequent visits by the physical instructors, are needed if interest in the work is to survive and application of details to maintain its efficiency. Reading and Recitation. —ln most schools reading is fluent but lacks expression. The tendency to spend too muoh time over the text in analysing the meaning of words and unfamiliar phrases, instead of dealing with the general sense of the passage or extract or chapter, is still in evidence. Many pupils do not read a sufficient number of books during the year, being satisfied with the class reader and School Journal. In regard to recitation, the selections arc generally well known, but are seldom repeated with feeling and expression. We note with satisfaction that good judgment, for the most part, is shown in selecting the passages to be learnt. Composition. —This subject is still in need of constant attention. Many sohools have achieved marked success in its teaching, others still show lamentable weakness. More actual teaching of the subject is necessary, as is also a greater appreciation of the extent to which other subjects can be made to contribute towards helping pupils to acquire facility and skill in written verbal expression. Arithmetic. —Too much, time' appears to be spent over concrete operations in number work in the lower classes, and too little attention given to memorizing the result of operations. In other words, the necessity for a thorough knowledge of what are commonly known as "tables"

III

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

is apt to be overlooked. In the upper classes w r e notice a tendency on the part of the teacher to spend too much time on preliminary explanation. Instead of endeavouring to anticipate all forms of difficulty, it would bo much better to deal with these as they arise, giving the pupil, opportunity to surmount unaided as many of them as possible. Mental arithmetic is often unduly slow — i.e., the time allowed for the performance of simple mental operations is frequently too long. Pupils should be taught to perform mental operations with rapidity, and this can be done only by training them to think quickly— i.e., by gradually and judiciously shortening the time allowed for the operation. Geography. — In many of the small schools this subject gives most discouraging results. It appears to be poorly taught and most imperfectly impressed. A definite amount of work should be covered each week, and pupils should be shown how to make intelligent use of the text-book. Attempts are sometimes made to teach geography by requiring pupils to copy into exercise-books notes written by the teacher on the blackboard, and afterwards commit these to memory without any special or marked reference Io the atlas. It is hardly necessary to add that such a method is neither educative in concept ion nor promising in character, and cannot be followed by satisfactory results. History and ('ivies. —Here, again, what is needed is intelligent, use of suitable icxt-books by pupils, supplemented and reinforced by vivid personal instruction by teachers. These remarks apply more particularly to the upper classes; in the lower classes oral instruction should play a, much larger part, and much of the teaching should lie in the form of story dealing with the lives of the great and notable men arid women of the race. History and civics in the smaller schools cannot be regarded as satisfactory. Drawing mid Handwork. —Considerable progress is being made in drawing, the most interesting feature at present being the number of styles in which the pupils choose to record their impressions. The old outline-drawing from a copy has given place to outline from nature itself; and now flu's latter seems to be yielding place to drawing in light and shade or in appropriate colour, with exact outline suppressed, In many schools initial attempts have been made to sketch the object in its natural environment. Modelling, unfortunately, does not seem to make the same progress as drawing, partly because it is abandoned at too early a stage, and partly because the supply of modelling-material is unduly limited; in many cases neither pupil nor teacher appears to see what achievement is really possible. This is a pity where other facilities are lacking. Modelling in cardboard is making very satisfactory progress by those teachers who have grasped its significance. As in plasticine-modelling, the work has been retarded by deficiency in the supply of material, in quality as well as in quantity. Nature-study and Science. —Nature-study, we regret to say, is not well taught in quite a number of schools, there being little attempt to make use of local conditions or school surroundings, and the subject being treated as purely of class-room significance. Much of the work in elementary agriculture is disappointing, and only in a minority of the schools is there a really well-kept garden. Considerable improvement is possible in some of the work done under the name of "elementary science," where it would seem that the service as a whole has not made the progress that might reasonably be expected.

TARANAKI. Sir, — New Plymouth, 22nd February, 1919. We have the honour to submit the annual report on the public primary schools of the Taranaki Education District and on the private schools inspected. During the year 158 public schools were in operation. This number was reduced at the end of Ihe year to 154. Of the former number, eighty-five were under the charge of sole teachers. The private schools inspected numbered fifteen, with a total roll of 1.1 1 I. The following is a summary for the whole district of the numbers in the public schools: S7— Number on roll 21, present at annual examination 21; 56—701, 685; 55—904, 886; S4— 1,0.10, 996; 53—1,188, 1,155; 82—1,257, 1,222; 51—1,249, 1,209; preparatory classes— 3)695,' 3,529 : grand total-10,045, 9,703. Inspection. —The work of inspection was carried out with the usual degree of completeness, except that a number of schools were omitted from the annual visits owing to the early closing of the schools in November. An assistant Inspector was engaged for eight months of the year. Conditions. —The percentage of the average attendance for the year, based on the average roll number, was 88 - 4. The reduction on that of the previous year was caused by the prevalence of sickness during the latter part of the year. The difficulty experienced previously in providing trained teachers with even moderate attainments for the position of sole teacher of the smaller schools, and of junior assistants, has continued

Appendix B.J

E.—2.

iii evidence. The number of uncertificated teachers is 172, or 46 - 2 per cent. The attention such a condition requires, together with the issue of specimen term tests and the close individual observation of the work of all teachers rendered necessary by the grading system, makes imperative a full stall' of Inspectors, so that in addition to the testing and general direction of the work of schools abundant time can be given to demonstration and the training of inexperienced teachers. The junior teachers and probationers represent a very satisfactory feature of the larger schools. The reports of the head teachers are without exception satisfactory, and the commendable advance made by these trainees was recorded at the meeting held in four centres, at which lessons were given and discussed. An unusual feature at the end of the year was the presence, among the applicants for positions, of six boys. School Buildings and Grounds.- —The gradual improvement in the school buildings has been continued during the year. Included in the buildings are some of more durable material than wood, and close attention has been given to lighting, ventilation, and other necessary features of a, good modern school. In a number of cases a partially open-air system is adopted with good results. The difficulty with many old wooden buildings is to arrive at a decision at what period they reach the stage when repairs and painting are not worth while in view of the greater comfort, convenience, and sanitary efficiency of a new up-to-date school. The buildings of the district receive regular attention, and few arc in any great degree unserviceable, although a number fall short of the modern requirements. The planting of shrubs and maintenance of garden-plots occupies a wide place in the activities of the schools. Certificate, S6. —Owing to the outbreak of the influenza epidemic the usual tests for Sixth Standard certificates by means of central examinations had to be abandoned and reliance placed to a, great extent on school records and information supplied by the head teachers. The Inspectors desire to recognize the judgment and sense of responsibility exercised by the teachers in making their recommendations for these certificates. Estimated on the number of pupils of this class on the school roll in the latter part of the year, the percentage of certificates awarded was —• proficiency, 74; competency, 10. Efficiency. —The standard of efficiency throughout the district has been well maintained during the past year, and it is seldom that we have to report with regard to remissions or slackness on the part of the teacher. Inferior work can generally be ascribed to lack of training or experience. Of the 154 schools visited, three were recorded as excellent, twenty-one as very good, forty-six as good, sixty-one as satisfactory or very satisfactory, and twenty-three as fair or very fair. No school was reported as very weak. Course of Instruction. —A few notes are given regarding points in the selection and preparation of the course of instruction. English. —The reading, so far as it relates to practice in reading aloud, receives intelligent treatment. In modulation, especially inflexion, there has been considerable improvement, and the comprehension of the matter is based on good methods of study preliminary to the class, reading. The spelling also follows such previous study, and is in consequence a good feature of the schools. More practice in silent reading under the direction of the teacher is required so as to train the pupil to obtain the greatest benefit from private reading. Composition, —The average efforts of the pupils in composition achieved very creditable results, showing clear thought and commendable powers of expression. In many cases the diction and. general arrangement of ideas showed careful and intelligent teaching and considerable ability on the part of the pupils. All teachers do not understand, however, that the highest appreciation of composition exercises cannot be granted unless there appears intelligent selection and application of words and regular attention to sequence of thought, with a proper use of the paragraph. The technical exercises accompanying those in the art of composition receive generally full attention. The study of the elements of the sentence, and practice in punctuation, rules of syntax, and synthetic exercises all form a regular part of the course in all schools. Arithmetic. —There is a general regard for concrete methods and oral practice in the preliminary study of the various rules. This prepares the way for intelligent presentation of written work. The course of the preparatory classes is usually well planned, and the teaching follows the best methods. Other Subjects. —The principle of correlation receives attention, especially in the relation of nature-study, handwork, and other subjects. While separate courses are presented, indication is given how far the methods of these branches are embodied in the instruction in other subjects. In this district elementary gardening and agriculture form a general and important feature of the work of the schools. In general the requirements of the syllabus of instruction are met with satisfactory completeness in all classes of schools. Physical Instruction. —During the .year a special instructor visited all the schools from Grade IIIb upwards and a number of the schools under two teachers. Her reports and the observation of the Inspectors record a considerable amount of regularity and efficiency in the ordinary course. Usually the course prepared was sufficient and adapted to the requirements of the individual schools. ' Where failure was recorded it was due to the perfunctory performance of the exercises, with a consequent indifference and lack of efficiency. The marching exercises did not reach, in many schools, the same standard as other parts of the course. In a number of schools a life-saving course and recognized classes in swimming formed an important part of the training of the pupils. We have, <vc., A. .1. Morton, 'j Inspectors W. A.

WANGANUI. SIR »- Wanganui, 28th February, 1919. • We have the honour to present our report for the year ended 31st December, 1918. The work of the schools was considerably interfered with during the year by enforced holidays. The incomplete state in which, therefore, the pupils left their work will no doubt prove a considerable handicap during the coming year. The difficulty with regard to the annual pro motion of the pupils was met by asking teachers to record in the annual examination class-lists only the new classification of each pupil, and a general report on the work done during the year. The early closing of the schools rendered it necessary to resort to a different method of dealing with the award of proficiency and competency certificates. In the case" of all schools above Grade lIIa it was resolved to depend in the main on the recommendations of the head teachers. Fortunately, progress proficiency tests had, at the request of many teachers, been sent out to all schools, so that the marks awarded and the recommendations made were based on the same tests throughout the district. The Inspectors also made use of various notes made on the work of the candidates at the notified visits of inspection. In the case of schools below Grade lIIb a, synchronous examination was held on the 4th December. The papers for this examination, with full directions as to the method of procedure, were sent out by the Inspectors, and the services of an honorary assistant supervisor were secured by each. School Committee. 277 candidates in 103 schools were examined in this manner. In the schools above Grade lIIa 778 candidates were entered, and we have good reason to believe that the number of certificates awarded was not in excess of the number we ourselves would have awarded had we been able to hold a final examination. During the past few years we have made every effort to establish a uniform standard in the marking of pupils' work. The marked specimen papers inserted in the Board's Leaflet from time to time have been of undoubted assistance. We have every reason to believe that our efforts have borne good fruit. The following are the details of the proficiency and competency awards : Candidates presented, 1,055. Certificates awarded : Proficiency, 818; competency, 146; endorsed competency, 34. The percentage of successful candidates may appear somewhat high; but it has to be remembered that our awards in 1917 were not liberal, and better results were to be anticipated the following year. In this connection it is interesting to note that the percentage of proficiency certificates gained in 1917 in schools below Grade lIIb was 53 per cent., while in 1918 the percentage rose to 71 per cent. In both years the Inspectors set and examined all the papers. In the case of schools above Grade lIIa the corresponding percentages were respectively 634 in 1917 and 75"5 in 1918. Notwithstanding, however, the obvious conclusions to be deduced from the above figures, we do not think it would be wise yet to abandon the usual final examination of proficiency candidates by the Inspector. We now submit some comments on the general character of the work done in the several subjects of instruction : — Reading and Recitation.- —In nearly all schools the reading was of satisfactory fluency, but the delivery in both reading and recitation was rarely marked by pleasing and appropriate expression. The stereotyped class-tone was very noticeable, and even in the smaller schools where the enslavement to the class-tone should have been less pronounced the delivery was monotonously uniform. We were well pleased with the attention paid to the comprehension of the subject-matter, and, in many schools, to the oral reproduction of lessons read. Free oral reproduction of whole paragraphs, of whole pages, and in some cases whole lessons, has been for some years a feature of the instruction in reading in this district. Some years ago we instituted the practice of examining from sight readers in all classes, and we think this has induced many teachers to abandon the old custom of "one class one reader," and to make fuller use of the many free readers with which the schools are provided. While not discouraging attention to oral reading, we have laid stress on the importance of silent reading accompanied or followed, according to circumstances, by free questioning and free comments by the pupils themselves, and, as far as possible, free oral reproduction of the subject-matter. The silent-reading lesson, however, has its dangers: lazily used it may result in mere waste of time; in the oral-reading lesson even the laziest teacher must show some signs of activity. In very few schools did we find the pieces set for recitation well memorized; nor did we find the selection generally well made. Frequently the pieces were marked by no literary merit whatever. We have no hesitation in saying the recitation is a much-neglected subject. Singing, unfortunately, shares in this neglect. Few teachers would appear to be aware of the importance of this subject; hence the scant attention it receives. In far too many of our schools the efforts of teachers are confined to a few popular or patriotic (1) songs of very doubtful sentiment and little or no musical merit. Spelling. —Notwithstanding the injunctions contained in the syllabus, many teachers continue the old-fashioned cram method of dealing with (we cannot say "teaching") this subject. We have done our best in the columns of the Board's magazine, the Leaflet, and elsewhere Io suggest more rational methods, and we believe the time is not far distant when spelling will be really taught and the method of setting, testing, and punishing will be abandoned. Writing. —We are well satisfied that with the present methods of teaching and the present style of writing teachers are getting the best possible results; but we confess to considerable misgiving as to whether the usual method of utilizing mainly finger-movements and ignoring armmovement is not altogether wrong. Some experiments with the Palmer system of are being made in the district, and these may lead to a modification of our present method of teaching. Arithmetic.—ln arithmetic, though the general quality of the work done was by no means unsatisfactory, we have found much unnecessary labouring to teach "type" sums and a lack of effort to develop the general intelligence of the pupil. Mental arithmetic has not yet come into its own and the text-book and text-book methods hold sway. In most cases the text-book provides

Appendix B.]

E.—2.

the only rationale known to the teacher. Practical methods of teaching still require more attention. There is really no excuse in this district for any neglect of practical arithmetic, since the Board has provided every school with a weighing-balance, pint and quart measures, imitation coins, and cc. measuring-glass. Geography. —ln this subject also practical methods of instruction arc not as frequently used as we. should like, nor is the rational method of studying the geography of the home district before dealing with the geography of far-distant lands as generally resorted to as one would expect. Where industrial geography has been taught in close connection with physical geography wo found the pupils had a much more intelligent grasp of the lessons and a much more sustained interest. Weather-study continues to be an important brancli of the instruction. Mercurial barometers and simple thermometers are part of the usual equipment of all schools; in addition, maximum and minimum thermometers are provided to all the large schools and to certain schools selected as weather-observation stations. The records from these stations are tabulated and published in the Leaflet. History and Civics. —We are far from satisfied with the treatment of history. There is a distinct lack of co-ordination in the work of successive classes, and anything like a rational development of the subject through the school is the exception rather than the rule. No success in this respect is possible until teachers have more clearly defined aims, and head teachers exercise a more intelligent activity in directing the work in the several classes. Drawing and Handwork.— Great strides have been made in the teaching of these subjects, and consequently in the quality of the pupils' work, since a special instructor and supervisor was appointed by the Board. In addition to demonstrating his methods in the various schools, the supervisor holds meetings of teachers in the larger centres and has charge of the trainingclasses for probationers and junior teachers at the Feilding centre. The following is the general plan of instruction made out to guide teachers in drafting their schemes of work :— Drawing. —Free drawing from the object is to take the place of copies in all classes. Free drawing is to include design drawing, some if not all of which should be in colour. Freehand drawing is to be taken in all schools, but brush and chalk drawing may be associated with it. Instrumental drawing is in all cases to be closely associated with handwork, thus : — Handwork. —SI and S2, paper-folding : The simpler geometrical forms and coloured designs constructed in paper are to be copied to definite size into the drawing-books with the aid of ruler and set-squares. In large schools carton-modelling may be substituted for paper-folding. S3 and S4, carton-modelling : The net of each model is to be set out in such a way as to embody, as far as possible, some of the easier exercises in plane geometry. The models constructed should be scale models of suitable common objects and geometrical solids. AVhen the model is completed its plan and elevation taken from-the simplest position should be drawn. S5 and S6 :Tn the smaller schools cardboard-modelling is taught on the lines indicated above. In the larger schools the boys take no other instrumental drawing (with the reservation pointed out below) than is taught in connection with woodwork. Both boys and girls receive some instruction in instrumental drawing in connection with the design drawing. In the above plan the girls receive much less instruction in instrumental drawing than the boys. This is inevitable since the principle we have adopted in handwork is—no drawing without its corresponding expression or utilization in plastic or non-plastic material. In the case of free drawing, however, we have not succeeded in correlating the work with modelling in clay or plasticine beyond S2. Indeed, we doubt whether the insistent demands of other subjects permit of further correlation. In the preparatory classes the usual occupations —stick-laying, brick-building, plasticine-modelling, paper-folding, &c— arc taught. Science, —Agriculture is the recognized science subject for all schools where practical outdoor work is at all possible. In the larger schools the boys alone take agriculture, the girls receiving instruction in science related to cookery. To further the latter work the Board, at our suggestion, arranged special courses of instruction in science for the teachers of cookery. In future it is anticipated there will be less effort to teach the cooking of a wide range of dishes, but the scientific aspect of the instruction will be given greater prominence. At a consultation with the instructresses it was agreed that a less comprehensive course should be attempted in the primary grades, and that the lessons be arranged with a view to a further course of two years' instruction in the secondary classes. Physical Instruction and Games. —There are, we are glad to say, very few schools in which the teachers do not enter whole-heartedly into the physical drill. In a number of schools "corrective classes" were formed of pupils showing some marked physical defects; but, as such classes needed teachers as expert as the physical instructors themselves, it is doubtful whether much good resulted. Attention to organized games has been further encouraged by the stress we have laid on the importance of playground supervision. We are glad the new type of teacher_ is not one who has no further acquaintance with her pupils than the schoolroom affords. Attention to environment should, we think, go further than this. In connection with organized games we have, however, noted that, as the element of interest in most of the games is the element of competition, there is a likelihood of the weak child overstraining himself. In our opinion, therefore, the free' games are preferable, provided they are well supervised and the pupils trained to play in a sportsmanlike manner. Through the courtesy of the Board we were enabled early in the year to hold conferences with the teachers at five centres. We met nearly three hundred teachers, and were able to discuss with them many matters of importance in connection with school organization and school method. In addition to such conferences we almost invariably found opportunity after the visits of inspection to meet the teaching staff and discuss with them matters of common interest. We regret that our present inspection staff is not sufficient to enable us to spend longer time in the schools. The

VII

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

general character of our work in the schools has changed very little; the first visit, unnotified, is mainly a visit of inspection, and the second, the notified visit, mainly a visit for examination purposes. The Senior Inspector wishes again to record his opinion that the examination visit is not needed except in special cases, and that no notification should be required of any visit except where an examination of the school has been decided upon. We are all agreed that more frequent and less formal visits would make for efficiency. The organization of the training of junior teachers and probationers continues to produce good results. In most of the large schools we were well satisfied with the part played by the head teachers and their staffs in this work. The Saturday central training classes are in the hands of the Board's special instructors, and very satisfactory advance has been made by the student teachers. Unfortunately the uncertificated teachers in the remote country schools could in very few cases reach the training-centres. For them winter and summer schools of instruction were organized. The winter-school course consisted mainly of instruction in science, no teacher being held eligible for a "practical certificate" until he had completed to the satisfaction of the instructor one year's work in 'general science, followed by one year's work in agriculture. In the case of the junior teachers and probationers all receive instruction in elementary agriculture, whether the subject is required for examination purposes or not. The needs of the schools dominate our organization, and not the individual fancy of the teacher. At the summer school handwork, drawing, and needlework were the main subjects. Physical drill forms part of the instruction at both winter and summer schools. For the general training of the backblooks teacher in methods of teaching and school-management use is made of certain observation schools ; but the need for a model country school in Wanganui is very deeply felt. The problem of the backblocks teacher is still unsolved. Some of these teachers arc such frequent birds of passage that they are seldom, if ever seen by an Inspector. He can merely mourn the disastrous effects of their inexperience. If supervising teachers were available to visit these sohools and show how they should be conducted an immense amount of good would be done to the pupils, and there would, we are sure, be less frequent desertions among the teachers. The present condition of many of the small schools is chaotic as far as the instruction is concerned, and the Inspector in the short time he can devote to them is helpless. The leaflet, no doubt, helps these teachers, for every effort is made to secure articles that will prove of immediate service. The Montcssori method of instruction is, we are happy to say, spreading to the country schools, where it is proving of immense service. We should like to record here our high appreciation of the manner in which many of our teachers of infants are devoting time and effort to the manufacture of the necessary material. The main Montessori school, Wanganui Central Infants, continues to show in admirable manner the success of the method. During the year an appeal was made to teachers to establish in their schools, during at least the winter months, an " organized lunch " period, The pupils who take their lunch to school are provided with cups of cocoa, and are required to sit quietly in school until the meal is finished. The establishment of something in the nature of school republics has also been the subject of a number of suggestive articles in the Leaflet. Monitors (never for teaching purposes) and prefects are in most of the schools taking off the shoulders of the teaching staff many details connected with the care of the environment and the supervision of the games. The class-room monitors, without direct command from the teacher, move quietly about in the performance of their duties, the proper attention to which does so much to add to the comfort of their companions and the general smooth working of the class machinery. We hope during the coming year to find the system still more widely adopted and more completely developed. The Board's library for teachers now contains nearly five hundred volumes. Books are posted to teachers and may be retained for one month, the teacher paying the return postage only. That the library serves a most useful purpose is evidenced by the full use made of it by a considerable section of the teachers of the district. We hope still further to extend its usefulness.

HAWKE'S BAY. g II{ Napier, 16th December, 1918. We have the honour to submit herewith our annual report on the work of the schools in tho Hawke's Bay Education District for the year 1918. At the end of the year there were 173 schools in operation, including 146 primary schools, ten Roman Catholic schools, and seventeen other schools, including registered schools and junior departments of secondary schools and of technical schools. In addition, twenty-seven Natiye schools were inspected and examined,

The following table gives the number present at the annual examination of the various schools :—

Registered Private Schools. —ln regard to these schools, we again have to report upon the difficulty of getting the necessary statistical information, and we strongly urge that, as a condition of registration, the controlling authorities should be required to furnish returns of enrolment, classification, and attendance. School Buildings. —The buildings are maintained in reasonable condition, and there is noevidence of want of care on the part of the teachers. The Board responds readily enough to our recommendations for improvements and additions, and when these are being effected the opportunity is taken of modernizing the buildings as far as is necessary. The grounds are maintained in fair order, but there is room for the display of more enthusiasm on the part of the local authorities. If the school is to be the centre of humanity in the district the buildings and grounds should certainly present a model appearance, and we should be glad to see the parents and citizens forming associations with such object in view. Proficiency Examination. —The closing of the schools owing to the influenza made it impossible for us to hold the central examination of S6 in nineteen schools, including four high schools. In all the other schools our examination visit had occurred prior to the outbreak. In considering the estimates of the teachers we found much diversity of procedure in respect to the determination of awards. Generally speaking, the marks were too high; in one or two instances the maximum marks obtainable were assigned in every subject; in others proficiency certificates were denied where the marks awarded would show that the pupils were entitled to receive them. Again, estimates were expressed so vaguely as to afford us no assistance in coming to a decision, while in a few cases, where the pupils' work had been forwarded, we judged that the standard of marking was too low. The results are much higher than those of 1917, but are not entirely out of keeping with our own observations during the .year, and in the schools in which we ourselves had examined S6 there is a very substantial increase shown. Altogether 1,188 pupils were presented. Of these, 768, or 646 per cent., gained proficiency certificates, and 199, or 167 per cent., gained certificates of competency, 22 being endorsed. Subjects of Instruction. —To the remarks offered last year we may add the following:— Reading. —Pending the Department's issue of suggestions in phonic exercises, we have arranged a series of exercises for issue next year. More attention should be given to the intellectual aspect of reading—the grasping of the thought and the cultivation of the power to reproduce the ideas. Tin's is especially desirable in the higher standards, where the mechanical difficulties should no longer be met with. Some seven thousand supplementary readers have been issued by the Board during the year to provide a wider range in reading, and a further large supply is on order. In addition, we note a very considerable activity in the school-library department. The preparation of spellinglists has had a good effect, and spelling shows a marked improvement, especially in S6, where the faults noted in former years have almost disappeared. Composition can further be improved by more attention to paragraphing to illustrate the logical arrangement of ideas. The use of picture composition in the lower classes has produced good results. Letter-writing should receive special treatment. The practice of adhering strictly to the prescription of a certain text-book, which is followed by so many teachers, is largely responsible for the lack of imagination and life which characterizes the essays. " The child's imitative powers alone are cultivated, while his creative strength is left to pine and wither." In Arithmetic mental work is better done than formerly. Short methods should be more frequently used. The question of the modification of the requirements in arithmetic, particularly in the case of girls, might well receive consideration. After all, the practical utility of some of the rules is very doubtful, and the recent epidemic has taught the need for closer attention to domestic-science training. In the centres especially good progress has been made in drawing, and we can show much admirable work. A great improvement in science teaching has been evident in the southern part of the district. We perceive in this the effect of the special classes of instruction in science conducted there by the

Board's experts during the year. In the northern part of the distriot the results are not so satisfactory, and some provision for the assistance of the teachers there appears to be desirable. The large attendance at the course of lessons in singing given in Napier in the early part of the year showed that the class was much appreciated, anil we believe that material benefit lias been derived from it. Similar arrangements are proposed for other centres next year. Special mention should be made of the progress of the seining during the year. In the centres the woodwork instruction has also produced very good results. Iii pit-teachers and, Probationers. —Most pupil-teachers joining the service have previously covered the requirements for a partial certificate, and their course of study is therefore limited to some extent to groups 111 and IV of the syllabus for certificate examinations. They should therefore receive a greater amount of practical instruction in school management and teaching, accompanied by regular criticism lessons on subjects previously prepared. Physical Instruction. —We have had the services of two physical instructors during the year, their visits including many of the less remote country schools. The work is progressing satisfactorily, but there is again need for training-classes for the teachers. Medical Inspection, —ln May of this year Dr. E. Irwin took up the work of medical inspection in this district, and since then has been constantly engaged. She has paid visits to all the principal sohools, including those in which medical inspection had been hitherto unknown, and her services have been greatly appreciated by all. A school nurse was also appointed to the district, and has done much useful work in visiting the parents of children reported as being in need of medical treatment. We are glad to note that many of the parents have acted on the advice of the Medical Inspector, but there arc cases where lack of means prevents the necessary attention to the child being given, and some provision should be made to meet the difficulty. Manual and Technical Instruction. —Classes are held in five centres, and the instruction afforded is very satisfactory indeed. No progress has been made in the direction of providing for the pupils in S6 and S5, numbering I I ,'S children, in Napier centre. We would again, therefore, draw the attention of the Department to the urgency of this case. School-books. —Owing to the greatly increased cost of school books and materials we have suggested io the Board and to the teachers the need for reducing as far as is compatible with efficiency the number of text-books required to be purchased by each child. Tn view of the supply of supplementary readers and the extension of school libraries, we feel that there is no need for the miscellaneous reader in the standard classes above Class P. A cheaper form of arithmetic book containing nothing but examples is desirable. Uncertificated, Teachers. —We feel satisfied with the results obtained by the students who attended the winter and summer schools last year. A winter school for uncertificated teachers was held at Hastings in June, and was well attended. The opportunity was taken to include a course of physical instruction. Classification of Pupils. —ln considering the annual returns forwarded by teachers at the close of the year, in which is set forth the general classification of the pupils, we do not feel altogether satisfied with the way in which promotions are in many cases made. Taking as a basis the marks assigned by the teachers, we cannot see how promotion can possibly be justified, and subsequent investigation made in the schools has led us to conclude that much greater care and discretion must be exercised. Tn some cases we find pupils promoted "on trial," and we have reason to believe that this course is prompted by desire to meet the wishes of the parents. There would be less objection to this if a reasonable trial were actually given, but once the child is promoted he nearly always remains in the higher class. Promotion in such cases does not change the fact of retardation—it simply demands the impossible from the child; and to allow him to go on lacking power to cope with the work only makes a bad matter worse. If he is promoted under such circumstances the fact that he must continue to receive special attention cannot be overlooked. For these reasons we have been led to think that in the smaller country schools at any rate promotions should be decided by the teacher and Inspector in conference on the occasion of the annual visit, which should mark the end of the school year. This would not affect the existing arrangements in respect to the larger schools. Grading of Teachers: Appeals. —Appeals in respect to grading were lodged by twenty-six teachers. Most of these were merely formal in character, requiring quota adjustment. Of the remainder, four were upheld. We have, <fee, William W. Bird, ] D. A. Straoiian, [inspectors of Schools.

WELLINGTON. ,Slu '~ Wellington, February, 1919, We have the honour to snbmil our report for 1918 on (he work of the primary' and district high schools of the Wellington District. During the year inspection-visits were paid to 209 State schools (including nine side schools) and to thirty-one registered private schools—a total of 300 schools, with 28,383 children on the roll. Details as to numbers, average ages, &c, are shown in (Tie following tables : —

Estimate of efficiency : Cood to very good, 92 schools; satisfactory to good, 125 schools; fair to moderate, 30 schools; inferior, 7 schools. Changes have been made in the management of all but two of the most unsatisfactory schools; and in all cases of schools where the work has been found unsatisfactory on the occasions of more than one visit special reports have been made in accordance with clause 13 of the regulations. Proficiency Examinations mid Certificates. —In consequence of the influenza epidemic it was found necessary to make a departure from the usual method of determining the qualifications of candidates for S6 certificates. In all schools in the district proficiency marks in reading, recitation, drawing, handwork, and " other subjects of satisfactory attainment " had been awarded or assessed by the Inspectors prior to the outbreak; but in the schools not examined by the first week in November —and these comprised the larger schools in the district—the proficiency marks in the remaining English subjects and in arithmetic were awarded by the Inspectors on the basis of the pupils' term marks and record for the year, and in consultation with head and class teachers. While the percentage of passes was practically the same as under the examination system, the individual results were in our opinion more satisfactory as being more consistent with the pupil's record throughout the year. The number of candidates (133) for endorsed certificates of competency under clause 16 (1) was nearly double what it was last year, showing that parents are evidently waking up to the benefit and privilege of this qualification, On the other hand, only one application under clause 89 (3), Manual and Technical Regulations, was dealt with. In our opinion the only way to bring pupils within the operation of this clause is to deal with them at the lime of the annual visit or examination. The six months' interval allowed by the clause practioally makes the clause itself ineffective. We would here once more recommend a junior lcaving-cerlifieale in place of the present complicated system of proficiency, competency, and endorsed competency certificates. Such a Icaving-certificate could be endorsed by an Inspector for free place in a secondary school or a technical school, or for technical classes, as the case might be. If it is not considered desirable to simplify the present system, then something at least should be done io rehabilitate the S6 certificate of competency by making it a qualification for free places in technical and district high schools. At present it carries with it no free-place privilege or benefit of any kind, and is no qualification more than a S5 certificate for entrance to any Government office or service. It does not even exempt, as formerly, from school attendance. So far from there being any loss of educational efficiency in thus lowering the free-place requirements in these schools, in our opinion there would be a decided gain. There are numbers of children with competency certificates whose parents refuse to keep them another year at the primary school for proficiency, but who would lie quite willing to enter them for a two-years business or mechanical course at a, technical school. Syllabus. —Our estimate of the condition of efficiency in the chief subjects of the syllabus may be briefly summarized as follows: —English subjects: Reading is fluent and accurate as a rule,

and comprehension is distinctly good; but it is seldom that we meet with that correct phrasing and expression and that cultured modulation of voice which in some at least of our schools combine to render the reading-test on an examination day a real pleasure to the examiner. Insufficient pattern reading is one cause of this; but we are inclined to think that another is the tendency of some teachers to "cram" the School Journal at the expense of the continuous readers. As a corrective to this it is our intention this year to take reading, comprehension, arid dictation tests as much from the continuous readers as from the Journal. The criticism on the reading applies in a measure to recitation; but this subject on the whole shows improvement, more thoughtful correlation with the other subjects of the syllabus being in stronger evidence than formerly. Teachers, however, must take note of the fact that if completed schemes of work are to be ready at the commencement of the school year it is necessary that the selection of pieces for recitation be made then, and not left for the teacher's inspiration at a later period. We would again emphasize the importance of the selections being of real literary merit. The Clobe and the Laureate Poetry-books provide excellent material from which suitable selections may be made. Taking into consideration the limitations in regard to ideas and vocabulary of the average child of thirteen or fourteen years, we are very satisfied with the composition. Under an older system of teaching freedom and scope of expression were too often sacrificed to formal rules and directions, with a stilted and an artificial style of composition as the natural result. We are inclined to the belief that wo are now erring a little on the other side, and that the essaywriting in general would benefit from a little more specific direction as to order and arrangement of subject-matter. The efficiency marks for spelling and writing range from satisfactory to very good. Written arithmetic is good so far as the correctness of the answers is concerned, but the setting-out of the work in many instances leaves a great deal to be desired, and in too many schools we have had to draw attention to the lack of method shown by pupils in this respect. The number work in the preparatory classes shows improvement, more attention being given to memorizing ordinary operations. A common mistake, however, is the use of mere names, instead of the objects themselves, in what should be operations in the concrete. At the last Board meeting a special instructor in drawing was appointed, and as a result we confidently look forward to some very desirable improvement in the teaching of this subject. Singing, we have no hesitation in saying, would also benefit from the appointment of a special instructor. The ordinary requirements of the certificate do not appear to be sufficient to qualify the young teacher to deal adequately with the subject. The Chief Instructor in Agriculture in a special report shows that good work is being done; but he points out that it is impossible to do real justice to the subject limited staff at present available. Medical Inspection and Physical Instruction. —The report of the Medical Inspector shows that, while very gratifying results have already been attained, there is ample scope for increased development of this essential branch of education. Stress is laid on the need for increased staff in order to cope more effectively with the work. (See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.) We have, &c, F. H. Bakeweel, \ F. G. A. Stuokey, D. A.

NELSON. SIH> __ Nelson, 31st March, 1919. We have the honour to submit our annual report on the schools of the Nelson Education District for the year 1918. At the close of the year 137 schools were open for instruction. This number includes the nine side schools of the previous .year. As twelve new schools were either opened or were reopened during the year, while three ceased working, there was an actual increase of nine schools over the number recorded for 1917. In all cases the new schools were very small and were provided to meet the requirements of settlement in remote or isolated parts of the district. 127 public schools were inspected throughout the year. Owing to the closing of all schools on acoount of the influenza epidemic it was impossible to carry out the inspection of the remainder, under ordinary circumstances would have been visited towards the close of the school year. _ For the same reason two of the thirteen private schools were not inspected, the total number inspected for the year thus being 138, nearly the whole of this number being visited on two occasions. Private Schools.—The roll number of the private and special schools examined was 876, the number present at the annual examination being 834. At these schools there were sixty-five pupils in S6 and forty-five proficiency, nine competency, and two endorsed competency certificates were granted Our estimate of the efficiency of the instruction at the private schools was as follows: Two schools were classed as good; four, satisfactory to good; four, satisfactory; and one, fair to satisfactory.

For the September quarter the average weekly roll number was 7,058, compared with 6,967 for 1917; while the average weekly attendance over the whole year was 6,258, as against 6,217 last year. The effect of the outbreak of influenza during the last quarter of the year may be seen from the fact that the regularity of attendance fell from 902 per cent, for the March quarter, which is not usually a period of good attendance in this district, to 862 per cent, for the December quarter. The percentage for the year shows a corresponding fall from 89"7 per cent, in 1917 to 884 per cent, for 1918. In the table given above the figures for S6 and S7 show the greatest increase in roll numbers for the year, while the number in the preparatory classes has slightly decreased, and now stands at 326 per cent, of the total roll number for the district. S6 Examinations. —The usual programme for the conduct of the proficiency examinations was entirely disorganized early in November. Fortunately we had succeeded to a considerable extent in carrying out the usual routine prior to the enforced closing of the schools. In regard to pupils that we were not able to examine, certificates were awarded after consideration of the head teachers' estimate of their capabilities. In connection with all doubtful cases we conducted supplementary examinations, chiefly at the beginning of the. present year, so that as far as possible all unnecessary hardship to the candidates was avoided. The following table shows in detail the various certificates granted : — Number on ~ ~ . ~ , Endorsed SIS Roll. Proficiency. Competency. Comi , etenov .

Of this number, eighty-five were sole teachers, two-thirds of whom were uncertificated. Seventeen assistant teachers also had not qualified for certificates, so that about one-third of the teachers employed were unclassified. The following table shows the status of the teachers in regard to the various positions occupied : — Certificated Uneei- ~, . . or Licensed. titieatod.

This is especially the case with assistant teachers, those certificated in this class showing an increase of thirteen. The number of uncertificated sole teachers has increased. While it has been most difficult to staff many of the smaller schools, it would be well as soon as normal conditions have again been resumed to review all the positions held by uncertificated teachers, and where possible replace such as show no capacity for teaching, or who are indifferent regarding their efficiency, by others more fitted for the work and showing greater zeal to improve their qualifications for such positions. Too many changes occur during the year in our school staffs, and it might even be advisable to limit applications for promotion to teachers who have been at least two years in their present positions. Twenty-seven pupil-teachers and seventeen probationers were also employed in the schools of this district. In these numbers were one male pupil-teacher and three male probationers. We find that twenty-four teachers from the district responded to the country's call. Of this number, seven have returned and have resumed duties. Five have made the supreme sacrifice. Efficiency of Schools. —The following table shows our estimate of the efficiency ot instruction in the various schools inspected by us : Good, 32 schools; satisfactory to good, 32; satisfactory, 37;

fair to satisfactory, 20; fair, 5; ellicient, 101; don-efficient, 25. For 1917 Effioient, 100 schools; lion-efficient, 17. The twenty-live non-efficient schools are all under sole teachers. The difficulty of obtaining teachers for these positions seems to be increasing, notwithstanding the many improvements that have in recent .years been made in connection with salaries. Inability to obtain suitable lodgings, or in some cases to get any at all, and remoteness from facilities for study, are two of the factors which appear to deter teachers from holding these positions long. How to assist these inexperienced and untrained teachers in the practical conduct of the school is a matter of some difficulty. The time at our disposal when visiting these schools is too limited to effect much, but at the announced visit we invariably examine all standard pupils for classification. Not only is too little attention often devoted to preparatory and junior pupils in these small schools, but the methods of instruction are frequently faulty. Our estimate of the efficiency of schools in the various subjects is as follows :— Reading. Writing. Spelling. Composition. Arithmetic. Efficient ... ... 100 110 82 98 77 Non-efficient ... ... 23 13 41 24 46 School Buildings. —The greater number of the school buildings are in a fairly satisfactory state of repair, and the Board, in pursuance of its policy of last year, is systematically continuing the painting of all buildings. In some schools minor repairs are often too long neglected, the difficulty of getting suitable labour to carry them out causing the delay. In some cases outhouses do not receive the supervision or attention that should be given to them. In view of the paramount importance of the proper care of these buildings for sanitary reasons alone, it behoves all those in charge of them to exercise a very exact and constant supervision over them. On more than one occasion we have had cause to complain of either Committee or teacher in this respect. Handwork. —The usual branches of handwork were carried out in the schools of the district, the subjects treated in order of preference being plasticine-modelling, free-arm drawing, brushwork, cardboard-modelling and carton-work, brick-building and paper-folding. The work was to some extent hampered by inability to obtain regular supplies of the necessary materials. The following is a list of the manual-training classes, which were conducted at the same centres as last year: Elementary agriculture, 58; dairy-work, 13; physiology and first aid, 1.4; swimming, 12; elementary physical measurements, 2; metal-work, II; woodwork, 12; domestic science, 22. Altogether the pupils of seventy-two schools were taught some branch of manual instruction. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Medical Inspection and Physical Instruction. —The usual medical inspection was carried out by the Medical Inspector of Schools, some 1,632 children being examined. This year the inspection was supplemented by the visit of a school-nurse to the homes of pupils reported by the Medical Inspector as requiring treatment. Except in schools where teachers have had no opportunity of special training, physical instruction is being very satisfactorily conducted, many teachers entering with enthusiasm into the intended spirit of the training. Arrangements had almost been completed for holding a refresher camp at Cable Bay when the influenza broke out, and the whole matter had to be abandoned. From observations made concerning pupils selected for corrective treatment the previous year it would appear that considerable benefit is resulting, as many cases show decided improvement.

CANTERBURY. Sm,— Christchurch, 23rd April, 1919. We have the honour to present our annual report for the year ending 1918. The number of public schools open at the close of the year was 387. Two visits were paid to nearly all of these. Thirty-one private schools were also inspected. The influenza epidemic during the last two months of the year interfered very seriously with our work and caused the postponement of some of the examinations for an indefinite period. In connection with the proficiency certificates we have had to depend largely upon the results of the headmasters' examinations, and gratefully acknowledge the valuable assistance afforded and the care taken in weighing the claims of candidates.

Medical inspection ,s still in the capable hands of Dr. Eleanor S. Baker, who continues to discharge her duties with zeal ami enthusiasm. The nursing stall, too, are rendering highly efficient and increasingly valuable service. The physical instructors have had a very busy year, tactful in dealing with teachers, and energetic in carrying out their duties, they have won loyal support in a, majority of schools, where, indeed, wide and varied programmes of'physical instruction and organized games form a, pleasing part of each day's work. In some few cases we note a, tendency to limit the scope of the training, but taking the district as a whole we can confidently affirm that an advance lias been made, the number of teachers who hold aloof from the sports anil games of their pupils being a steadily diminishing one. With regard to the main subjects of the syllabus there is little to report. The tension and nervous strain due to the war have undoubtedly had their effect upon both pupils and teachers but it is gratifying to find that in spite of distracting influences the quality of the work has not suffered materially. There are still some schools, however, in which the 'methods adopted fail to secure either accuracy of knowledge or a reasonable standing of attainment. This is usually because the teachers attempt to do too much for their pupils, who, as a result, show lack of concentration, want of self-reliance, and distaste for prolonged effort. Depending too much on the instructor, the child fails to gain consciousness of power, without which true educational progress is impossible. The results of indifferent leaching show themselves most in the subjects belonging to the English group—inability on the part of the child to write or talk naturally or easily about what it has read or absorbed. As Ruskin has said, "No discipline is of more use to a child's character, with threefold bearing on intellect, memory, and morals, than the being accustomed to relate accurately what it has done and seen." Although the majority of the teachers show skill in drawing up schemes of work, there are still some who fail to realize their responsibilities in this connection. If teachers complied with the regulations the Inspector couhl discuss with them the programmes outlined and show where improvements could be made. This is especially important in remote schools, where a, fair number of teachers have but a hazy notion of how to plan out, a satisfactory year's work in history or geography. In the better type of schools reading, composition, arithmetic, and drawing' are strong subjects showing skilful treatment, but, in less efficient schools these arc the weakest of the curriculum. ■ In composition especially the pupil's power of expression as he advances through the standards is not steadily progressive, while in arithmetic inaccuracy is the stumblingblock, for where there is a, slipshod treatment of tables, counting, and mental work in the lower classes there must be more or less failure in the upper divisions. Drawing in the weaker schools is not handled effectively, and accordingly it is not becoming to the extent, it should a means of clear expression of mental conceptions. Really P oor reading is not often heard, but, in some localities a tame, expressionless style prevails, iii not a few schools the pieces chosen for recitation are often selected haphazard and with little regard for their literary value. In others, however, the recitation period is full of pleasure, and the pupils are trained to appreciate beauty of literary form and to render thought with tine elocutionary effect. Spelling is generally well done, although the time devoted to it might in some cases be reduced. Writing shows improvement, where a, strong effort is being made to develop a bold, legible, and fluent style. History, on the whole, notwithstanding its great importance, still remains a disappointing subject. The causes of failure in teaching this subject appear to be— (a) The disconnectedness of the schemes, there being no central idea kept prominently before the pupils, and little attempt to deal with great events or great natural movements as a, whole; (b) the narrow reading and limited scope of the teacher's own knowledge; (c) the neglect to train pupils to express orally in clear form the subject-matter of the lessons given ; (d) failure to make use of illustrative material for moral teaching; (c) neglect to use history-charts. Nature-study is often treated by unscientific methods, leading nowhere and accomplishing nothing. The best results are obtained in those schools where garden-plots are cultivated or full use is made of nature's lavish gifts of insect-life, of tree and shrub, of leaf and flower. While geography is efficiently taught in many schools, there is still a percentage of teachers who fail to make their lessons of real living interest. In the various branches of handwork the teachers show increased interest. Tn spite of difficulties of conveyance, large numbers have availed themselves of the opportunity to attend woodwork and cookery classes. New centres are being established, and these should afford opportunities for further extension of activities. Tn spite of the inconvenience caused by the war, our schools are fairly well equipped with material. The work done, so far as we are able to judge, is generally satisfactory, and it is pleasing to note in connection with the cookery programme that an improvement has been effected in that part of the course which comes under the head of " Principles of Domestic Science." The interest in agricultural education continues to increase, and during the year the Board has endeavoured to establish classes in connection with the West Coast schools. Although in Westland climatic conditions have damped the ardour of some of the teachers, there are from six to twelve schools in which the work shows definite progress. A very fair number of schools in Canterbury show most creditable gardens and give theoretical instruction equally good in quality. The interest taken by many teachers has had its effect upon the parents, and there is now a. tendency in many school districts to render assistance in improving and beautifying the school-grounds, which, indeed, bid fair to become in time the beauty-spot of the neighbourhood. The important subject, of sewing has received faithful attention, and generally good work has been done throughout. During the war period considerable latitude lias been allowed with regard to the syllabus. Tn the majority of schools articles suitable for Bed Cross purposes have been produced, and in addition to the practical value of the work the pupils have received admirable training in true patriotism and social service. Almost without exception good order and discipline prevail in our schools, and the pupils are receiving excellent training in manners and behaviour. We have every reason for believing

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

that the moral tone continues very satisfactory. The bulk of our teachers fully realize and endeavour to meet the responsibility that rests upon them in regard to moulding the character of the human material with which they have to deal, recognizing that on the foundation laid in their schools will depend the future citizen. Instances of retardation are still found, and, strange to say, very often in some of the larger schools. By retarded pupils are meant not only those of deficient intelligence or those whose attendance has been irregular, but also bright pupils who through lack of an elastic system of interclass promotion are kept "marking time," more especially in the infant classes of a large school. One cannot stress too much that not only is injustice often done to such pupils by failure to promote, but a positive temptation is offered to them to develop habits of indolence and inattention. Headmasters should as far as possible keep a written record of the mental characteristics, circumstances attending home and environment, and the progress and development of all retarded pupils. Such a record would be of great value to the school and helpful to the Inspector. The sanitary conditions of most of our schools are satisfactory, but while an increasing number are beautifully clean and neat, there is still room for improvement so far as walls and ceilings are concerned. A resourceful teacher often finds ways and means of improving the dingy and prison-like appearance of rooms. A clean school, bright walls, neat premises, and sanitary out-offices give a good impression of careful supervision and keen interest. Tn reviewing the work of the year it affords us great pleasure to report that on the part of most of our teachers there is a manifest desire to secure the best possible for the children committed to their care. While we can claim that in professional standard and qualifications the teachers of certain portions of the district compare most favourably with those elsewhere, yet there are localities where the teachers under happier conditions might have become both more efficient and more " highly qualified." Unfortunately, however, in the past facilities for training and for higher education were so limited that even the most zealous found it difficult and in some cases practically impossible to push forward on the road to "higher qualifications." Many of the teachers in the more isolated parts of the district possess qualifications little higher than those required for a proficiency certificate. Accordingly we must give the greatest credit to those teachers who in spite of adverse circumstances have endeavoured to become as efficient as conditions would permit. We would hail with pleasure any widening of the training-college regulations that would enable, a short course of training to be given to such teachers. Such an experiment would mean increased efficiency, the resulting advantage to the pupils and the State amply compensating for the outlay. With the close of the war fresh problems in connection with school-work must arise, and endeavours to discover the best methods to meet the educational needs of the community must engage the attention of all thoughtful minds. The primary system, within the compass of its six standards, is, we believe, doing good work—work that will bear comparison with that of other countries. There is, however, considerable leakage before the proficiency period is reached, and even of those who qualify a very large percentage fail to take advantage of secondary education. In the future the struggle in the economic world will be extremely keen, and success can be achieved only by those who have had the benefits of a good education. The great dearth of certificated teachers emphasizes the necessity for action in the matter of consolidation of schools. This can be successfully done only by the Department, and will not be acceptable until such time as parents are assured that the means of conveyance are thoroughly satisfactory and under the supervision of a responsible person. We wish to express our appreciation of the splendid work being done by the great body of oui- teachers. The majority have fine ideals and realize the full measure of their responsibilities. Where they have failed we believe that it was not through lack of honesty of purpose. We would warn them that they must not regard success at examinations as the only test of efficiency. Their responsibilities are far greater than that, and they fail as teachers if they do not give sufficient attention to the spiritual growth of the child, and to the cultivation of the personal sense of responsibility and the power to think individually. Unless this side of the child's education be attended to it is impossible to lay a sound foundation for good citizenship. We have, &c., Wm. Brock, Jah. Gibson Cow, Chas. D.

OTAGO. Sir, — Dunedin, February, 1919. We have the honour to submit our report on the work of the schools of this district for the year 1918. The following table shows the number of pupils on the roll and the number present at the annual examination :— Present at Number . , ~ ~ Annual on Roll. n, ■ ~ Examination. Standard VII ... ... ... ... 294 287 VI ... ... ... ... 1,588 1,566 V ... ... ... ... 2,276 2,238 IV ... ... ... ... 2,647 2,593 111 ... ... ... ... 2,879 2,811 II ... ... ... ... 2,701 2,681 T ... ... ... ... 3,034 2,944 Preparatory ... ... ... ... 7,045 6,696 Totals ... ... ... 22,524 21,816 We have frequently had to deplore the fact that so many of our S4 pupils left school before they reached SO; consequently we note with great satisfaction that the proportion reaching SO shows a steadily rising tendency. This year, for example, the percentage is 60, while the average percentage for the years 1910—18 of S4 pupils reaching S6 was only 50\3. During the year 260 schools were in operation : of these, six were household schools. All the schools were inspected, and in nearly all cases two visits were paid. Tn addition, all the registered private schools in the Otago District were inspected. Efficiency of Schools. —An analysis of the Inspectors' annual return gives the following results with regard to the efficiency of the schools in this district: Excellent or very good, 30 per cent.; good, 41 per cent.; satisfactory, 26 per cent.; fair to inferior, 3 per cent. We note with satisfaction that the percentage in the lower groups tends to decrease, while in the number of schools placed in the highest groups there is a sensible increase. The registers and school records are, in general, kept neatly and correctly, but the promotion column of the admission register requires keeping up to date. It should be understood, too, that the schemes of work are the property of the school, and when a teacher leaves the scheme should be left in the school, and the work-book should indicate clearly to the incoming teacher where to proceed with the work of each subject. Classes for Backward Pupils. —The pupils of our schools may be roughly classified, according to mental ability, in the following groups : (1) Super-normal (comprising perhaps 10—12 per oent.); (2) normal (perhaps 80-85 per cent.); and (3) backward (perhaps 5 per cent.). With regard to the small proportion of really mentally deficients, nothing need be said here, as their eases are provided for more or less adequately by special schools, but we purpose dealing with the three classes mentioned above. (I.) Super-normal pupils: Special provision is made for these pupils by means of the widespread advantages of our national-scholarship system, and their rapid progress through the various school classes is provided for by the " freedom of classification " allowed to head teachers, by which such pupils may cover the work of two standard classes in one year. With regard to the latter point, we notice that while a few head teachers take full advantage of their right to advance the super-normal child more rapidly than the remainder of the class, in many schools the best pupils are allowed to "mark time," In all our large schools there should be —in SI to S4 at least —a fair proportion, perhaps 8 to 10 per cent., who are fit to be advanced two standards yearly. (2.) Normal pupils: These form, of course, the vast majority of our pupils; but the rate of progress of the normal pupils is certainly reduced by the presence of pupils who fall into Division 111. If by any means these backward pupils could be taught separately, perhaps the chief gain would be that the general level of progress of normal pupils would be raised, since every experienced teacher knows how much both general progress and discipline are affected by the presence of pupils below the average capacity. One special advantage of the segregation of such backward pupils would be that the time of the school medical officer would be saved, since, as a general rule, the backward pupil is one whose physical condition requires special attention. Tn England a, considerable part of such pupils' time is given to handwork, and it is important to notice that our present arrangements for handwork hardly benefit backward pupils at all, since the most valuable branches of handwork (cookery, laundry-work, carpentry, and gardening) are not begun till S5 is reached, while the great majority of backward pupils never reach that standard. As legislative authority has already been obtained for the payment of special teachers for backward pupils, and as we feel sure the Minister of Education would sanction a grant for any additional class-room required, we suggest that a beginning might be made by building an additional class-room at Macandrew Road School, and another at the Normal School, where there are special facilities for manual training, and that special teachers be approved to teach the classes referred to. As it is very important that no stigma should attach to the pupils of such classes, and as it is especially desirable that the sympathy of the parents concerned should be enlisted, the name " practical school," used in England, is suggested as suitable for these classes. Our suggestion, of course, merely indicates how a beginning might be made in the treatment of backward pupils, and leaves out of consideration the special teaching of backward pupils in country districts. At present no legislative authority has been given for special teaching in the latter case, though in our opinion the case of the country child deserves the same consideration,

Appendix B

There are twenty schools at present making use of the North Dunedin and the South Dunedin centres for manual instruction. Most of these schools send as many as two classes from SO and S5, and some are able to send three or four classes for each of the subjects woodwork and cookery. The result is that some city classes are deprived of the opportunity of obtaining instruction in a very important branch of education. The immediate remedy is'the establishment of a third centre in Dunedin; but even this will not be sufficient if manual work is to assume an important position in our syllabus. If the best results are to be obtained from practical work every large school should have facilities for carrying on this work. SO Proficiency. —Owing to the influenza epidemic the schools in this district were closed early in November, 1918, and the proficiency passes recorded in this report are to a great extent granted (without special examination) after a consultation with the head teachers. The percentage of passes recommended (nearly 80 per cent.) is slightly higher than that of last year, but we think that the percentage would probably have been reduced if the school year had not been interrupted and if a, written examination had taken place in December as usual. In those schools which were visited for the second time between the Ist September and 11th November we had already examined the pupils of S6 for proficiency, and of those 33 per cent, failed to reach proficiency standard, the Department's arithmetic tests proving slightly more difficult than those of former years. Though as a result of the altered system a higher percentage of passes has probably been gained, we feel that —under the special circumstances —it was better to err on the side of leniency. We must, however, note two points in connection with the examinations held by head teachers. Firstly, we note that the marks given by many head teachers for mediocre work are much (oo high. This note refers especially to English composition, comprehension, reading, and recitation. As a consequence of the low standard set in English especially a large number of pupils gained over 500 marks out of a possible 600. We find that, as a general rule, only those who are destined to take a good place in the Junior National Scholarship Examination gain over 500 marks in the examination for proficiency in S6. We again urge the necessity for using some well-considered and easily understood system of marking in English composition. Such a system would probably have two results : In the first place the marks gained would be greatly reduced and a definite and higher standard would be set for the pupil to aim at; and, secondly, the pupil would know by.a study of his corrected paper why the marks had been reduced. Secondly, we regret to notice that some teachers have interpreted the word " examinations " in the regulations as meaning that only two examinations are to be held in the course of the year. As a result we were compelled in some cases to base our recommendations for proficiency certificate on the result of one examination held early in the school year. In such cases we should have been quite unable to make any recommendation had the headmaster's results not been supplemented by periodical examinations conducted during the year by the class teacher. We hope that in future the head teachers here referred to will understand that the plural "examinations" means two or more. Where, besides superintending the work of the school, a head teacher has to teach two or more classes, two examinations may be as many as he can conveniently hold; but where the staffing of the school permits the headmaster to give the whole of his time to organization and supervision we hold strongly that at least three examinations should be held yearly. We cannot leave the subject of proficiency examinations without referring to an aspect of the matter that causes us some uneasiness. In all the Otago schools the number enrolled in S5 is 2,276, and the number enrolled in S6 is 1,588. In Dunedin and suburbs the numbers are — 55, 1,042; S6, 768. The discrepancy between the totals enrolled in S5 and S6 respectively is due to many causes, some of which are unavoidable. To one important cause, however, we wish to draw attention. There has grown up in Otago a strong tendency among parents and school authorities generally to judge the efficiency of a school by the percentage of proficiency passes in 56. (S6 competency is, we regret to notice, looked on almost with contempt as a modified form of failure.) As a result of this false notion most head teachers are too exacting in making promotions from S5 to S6. When there is a doubt as to the promotion of a S5 pupil we fear that the teacher of S6 too often gives his vote against promotion, and the head teacher, sometimes against his own better judgment, does not promote, though in many cases the mental stimulus obtained by working in a higher class is just what the boy needs. The outcome often is that the pupil remains in S5, loses ambition, and leaves when he reaches fourteen years of age. We do not, of course, suggest that a pupil should be promoted to S6 who, in the opinion of both head teacher and class-teacher, would certainly fail to obtain competency in S6, but we trust that where there seems to be any reasonable prospect of success in SO head teachers will see that the S5 pupil is promoted to S6. English. —(I.)' Reading: In the great majority of our schools reading is well taught, and the pupils of the higher classes are able to read passages, formerly unseen, fluently and accurately. The least pleasing feature of the roading of pupils in the Dunedin schools especially is that many whose articulation and expression are excellent mispronounce the vowel-sounds. Tn a few schools it is a pleasure to listen to the vowel-production in reading, recitation, and singing, but in too many of our town classes the pronunciation of "plate" approaches " plyte," "home" is " haome," and "how " is " haeow." Systematic practice in the production of pure vowel-sounds is a matter of the greatest urgency if we arc not to allow the speech of our children to degenerate into what has been called a "colonial draw] " that is 100 much in evidence everywhere. A fewyears ago great improvement followed regular exercise in vowel-production, but we regret to notice that, of late, regular practice in phonics before and during each reading-lesson is a custom " more honoured in the breach than in the observance." We regret to notice, also, that these objectionable "colonial" vowel-sounds are characteristic of the reading, recitation, and speech of too many of the young teachers (especially of the young men) who leave our training colleges. We suggest that great improvement in this important respect would result- -(1) If no training-college student

XVIII

Appendix B.

E.—2.

were granted a pass in reading for Class D until he had been examined in vowel-production; (2) if a certain definite proportion of the marks in reading and recitation were given for correct production of vowel-sounds; and (3) if the Department were to issue a pamphlet for use in schools giving the regular course of vowel practice outlined in a series of lessons in the Journal of Education four or live years ago, these lessons being illustrated by photographs or diagrams showing the correct position of teeth, lips, and tongue in correctly sounding the vowels referred to. It is, of oourse, impossible for our teachers in the short school day to neutralize altogether the effect of the street and the home; but the attempt should lie made, and in those classes where it has been made a, wonderful improvement has been effected. (2.) Recitation : In many of our schools a very high standard is reached in enunciation and expression, and if the correct value were given to vowel-sounds the recitation of most of our town pupils might be marked "excellent." The want of expression sometimes noticed in the recitation of pupils in our smaller schools is frequently due to the selection of passages that are not suitable for dramatic treatment. Year after year certain poems are chosen from the readingbook because they are easy to remember. The teacher should note, however, that a smooth rhyme is often the worst possible choice for recitation, a dramatic extract which, as poetry, may be inferior, but in which the metre is broken, being more suitable for recitation. From month to month the School Journal gives suitable extracts for recitation, and these might be supplemented by the addition of suitable prose extracts from the readers in use. (3.) Comprehension of matter read: In the upper classes we have for some years tested the power of pupils lo place in their proper context difficult words chosen from the reading-book, and we find that the using of such words in good compound and complex sentences has given excellent practice in both oral and written composition. The answering of oral questions as to the meaning of phrases, and generally as to the "thought-content" of the lessons read, is less satisfactory. Pupils should, of course, be trained to use a dictionary, but the " dictionary habit " fails in its most essential object if it does not result in enabling pupils to follow the meaning of the passage read, and to reproduce in their own words the scene represented by the passage. If is a matter of great importance that pupils should be encouraged to express orally the meaning of phrases and sentences, and the power of doing so will be greatly increased if the pupil is encouraged to associate the pregnant words and phrases with a, mental picture—more or less distinct according to the varying powers of imagination in different pupils. Grammar and Composition, —As we hold firmly the conviction that if composition at all worthy of the name is to be produced in our schools, such a knowledge of grammar as is necessary to a rational treatment of composition should be taught, we have always emphasized the importance of systematic training in grammar, and we are pleased to report that there is no lack of appreciation of the educative value of formal grammar teaching. This application of the knowledge of grammar has not only lent interest to the study of that subject, but has also had an excellent effect on the composition. We note with satisfaction that the Department's requirements in the grammar- of the highest classes are, in scope and definitcness, a distinct improvement on those of former years. With the view of making the work as practicable as possible we have impressed on our teachers the necessity for instructing the pupils of the highest classes in the different forms of business correspondence. Arithmetic. —We notice with regret that some teachers still look on "mental arithmetic" as a, subject quite separate from written exercises in arithmetic. We strongly recommend that, in addition to regular practice in mental arithmetic, all book problems should be introduced by simple problems that can be worked mentally and answered orally by the weaker members of (he class. Tin., correct working of arithmetical problems is really an exercise in elementary logic, and, together with formal grammar, is the best means for training in logic that our syllabus affords. Failure to work problems is in a great many cases due merely to "self-distrust" on the part of the pupil. Now, provided always that elementary tables have been thoroughly memorized in the lower classes, a problem should offer no difficulty to the pupil of average ability if he has learned to approach it without fear, and this attitude of mind may be encouraged by the method outlined above. If such a problem is attacked in the way outlined the weaker pupil will gain in two ways : firstly, he will gain confidence in his own power of setting out the steps required in reasoning out the problem; and, secondly, he will have good practice in oral expression. In the arithmetic examinations we often find pupils giving absurd answers; to avoid thfs absurdity pupils should be regularly trained to obtain an approximately correct answer before beginning to work the problem. We notice with pleasure that the arithmetic tests, both in the text-books authorized by the Department and in the Department's test-cards, are being associated more and more closely with the life-interests of pupils, and with the work they will have to do when they leave scl 1. We hope, however, that when the publishers revise SI and S2 of the " Progressive Arithmetic " they will give a great deal more practice in somewhat more difficult mechanical work. In our opinion the greater part of the time devoted to arithmetic in SI and S2 should be given io constant revision of tables and to attaining speed and accuracy in fairly difficult mechanical work. If these two indispensable results are not attained in SI and S2 the arithmetic of the higher classes must, necessarily lie both slow and inaccurate. We are strongly convinced that no problem should be set in S'l and S2 that cannot be worked mentally and the result expressed orally. At this early stage the setting-out on slates of fairly difficult problems is largely a waste of time. The problems should, we think, be altogether mental problems, and should be merely concrete examples based on thoroughly memorized tables. We cannot too strongly_ insist that the only possible foundation of speedy and accurate arithmetic is the thorough memorizing of tables in the lower classes. History and CiviCs .—While some headmasters have drawn up very good schemes for teachinghistory and civics, and have given good instruction on the lines laid down, yet on the whole in

XIX

E.—2.

Appendix B

the teaching of history in our schools there is any amount of room for improvement, even in the too short time that can be allotted to this most important subject. As a, rule history-teaching does not begin early enough. The Third Standard is the class in which history as a syllabus subject usually begins, but in the earlier standards by means of pictures about which 'stories can be told by the teacher and retold by the children, and by the use of easy reading-matter dealing in an interesting manner either with people or leading events, the .young children should become acquainted with some of the heroes of our race. For the pupils in the upper standards it is desirable to have a text-book giving a connected view of the main outlines of history, one which can be read and studied by the children themselves, and one which encourages them to do exercises for themselves. Even such a text-book alone is not satisfactory; oral lessoij* should also be given and the pupils encouraged to read stories about people living in the period dealt with. In many of our school libraries such books can be found, ami while some teachers encourage the children to read these books, such a procedure is not common enough. After all, in our primary schools little real history can be taught, but if the teacher has succeeded in creating interest, and at the same time has recognized in his treatment of the subject that the study of history is one of the most vital of all studies for inspiration to conduct, he will have done well. Geography. —The reports on the commercial geography taught in our schools are generally satisfactory, and in many cases very good, but the reports on the methods of teaching physical geography are not so satisfactory. In the upper classes more experimental work should replace the learning by heart from a text-book, which is too common in our schools, and in all classes greater use should be made of field, excursions and outdoor presentation. Moreover, physical and commercial geography are not two subjects; their interdependence is too often not sufficiently noted. Nature-study. —ln many schools excellent lessons are given on nature-study in the lower classes, and only in a few schools have these lessons degenerated into a mere accumulation of facts, instead of affording a real training in observation, reasoning, and oral expression. Drawing. —ln the course of their pupil-teacher and college training a large number of our young teachers have gained facility in blackboard sketching, and we find that when such teachers are employed in our infant departments the interest of young pupils is generally stimulated because the teacher is able to illustrate the various lessons by rapid sketches in colour. In connection with the drawing of " fashioned objects " wo must again draw the attention of teachers to the list of objects given in the Department's regulations. A. few head teachers keep on hand or encourage pupils to bring for the occasion a good selection of the fashioned objects there recommended, but: in too many classes the drawing-lesson is still introduced by a search, more or less successful, for a suitable object. As a result, pupils are often set to draw an object that presents too great difficulty, and the time of the less proficient pupils is largely wasted. Junior Teachers. —We note with pleasure that the Government has recently raised the salaries of pupil-teachers (now called junior teachers) and probationers. At the same time the minimum educational status for those who wish to enter as " junior teachers " has been raised. We fearthat this raising of the standard will prevent many boys from entering the profession, more especially boys from remote country districts who have not been able to attend a secondary school, and therefore cannot, at entry, have obtained an intermediate certificate. The exacting of the proposed minimum of attainment will cause little inconvenience in the case of girls, since, in Otago at least, the number of qualified girls who apply has always been largely in excess of the number of "junior teachers" required; but in past years we have been compelled to appoint as pupil-teachers a number of boys who, while they had usually done S7 work for some time in their local school, had yet no certificate higher than that of proficiency in S6; and we are pleased to note that these appointments have generally been fully justified. Singing. —As a rule school songs are well sung; indeed, it is a pleasure to listen to the clear enunciation and correct expression that mark the part singing in our best schools. We wish, however, that more of our teachers realized the value of school singing as an aid in clear enunciation, in improving the quality of the vowel-sounds, and in the cultivation of patriotism by means of suitable correlation of song, history, geography, &c. Graduated ear tests are well used by some teachers; but a few simple "ear tests" might well be made part of every singing-lesson. Such practice rapidly improves even the boy who persistently " sings out of tune." We wish once more to emphasize the importance of using song as a relief in ordinary school-work. In too main' schools singing is still a set subject occupying half an hour perhaps on a Friday afternoon. In the infant departments of our large schools work is always suitably varied by singing, but too many of the teachers of our upper classes and too many sole teachers fail to appreciate, the great value of song as a relief to the school-work. AVc regret to note that in a considerable number of our sole-teacher schools singing is not taught. This very serious defect is generally due to the fact that the teacher "cannot sing." We would urge on the teacher who has "no singing-voice " that this defect is almost counterbalanced if he is able to play simple music on piano or organ. Uncertificated Teachers. —While the proportion of uncertificated teachers employed in Otago is much smaller than the proportion in some other districts, the number employed in Otago schools (15 per cent., nearly all sole teachers) is still too high. We look forward to the time when all our teachers in sole charge will be certificated, and in this connection we note with pleasure that a much-needed increase has lately been granted in the salaries of teachers in Grades 0, 1, and 2. The short courses of lessons for uncertificated teachers formerly arranged by the Board have been discontinued. Much more effective arrangements are now made, by means of which uncertificated teachers may carry on continuous work, and have their work criticized and their progress accelerated during the whole of the year. Arrangements have been made for the teaching of uncertificated teachers by correspondence, a grant in aid of the fees being made by the Board

Appendix B.

E.—2.

in the case of those students who make satisfactory progress. As a considerable number of training-college students with a full C certificate will be available this year, we intend to advise the Education Board to call for applications from certificated teachers for those positions at present filled by uncertificated teachers who are making little or no attempt to improve their professional status. Physical, In si ruction. —ln nearly all the schools in Otago physical instruction lias been given regularly. In a few country schools where the instruction has been given periodically instead of daily the teachers have been directed to make the exercises a daily lesson. In the majority of cases these exercises have been faithfully carried out, and in many schools, more particularly perhaps in the larger ones, they have been well done, suitable attention being paid to right position and correct breathing. In some schools, however, the exercises have become too mechanical, thus diminishing both their educational and developmental effects. The physical instructors express the opinion that "there is great need for refresher classes for the teachers." Classes for the instruction of pupil-teachers and probationers were held during the year. Swimming is taught in a number of schools, and in many organized games form a part of the school programme. Lessons on health and temperance also receive due attention. District High Schools. —[See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Buildings and Accommodation, —The buildings and grounds of the district are, in general, in very good order, only seven being reported as below satisfactory. Some of these arc small schools in the backblooks, repairs to which have been allowed to stand over while prices for buildingmaterial are high. Most of the School Committees take great interest in their schools, and co-operate heartily with the teacher in endeavouring to improve the surroundings of the children, and in many cases the residents readily subscribe for anything that will effect improvement in the school. While in some parts, more especially in some of the country districts, the number on the roll has decreased, and the accommodation is more than sufficient for the number now attending, there are other parts of the district—notably Dunedin City and some of the country towns — wliere increased accommodation will be neccssar}'. During the year the Board offered an increased subsidy on contributions for school libraries and pictures suitable for a schoolroom. We hope Committees will not hesitate to take advantage of this offer. We beg to suggest also that the Government be asked Io supply some pictures illustrating the doings of our brave boys on the various war fronts. Very suitable ones have already been appearing in the illustrated papers, and some of these, if well chosen, will afford excellent material for lessons on civics, and will be an inspiration to the coming generation as concrete illustrations of what service to the community really means. Self-government. —At its last meeting the Council of Education passed a resolution to the effect "that with a view of affording concrete illustrations of the fundamental facts of social problems more use should be made in the schools of some system of self-government." In many schools more has been done by the teachers in training the children to govern themselves than is generally known. The question has been receiving the attention of writers on education, and in this, as in most questions, there are found extremists, yet it will perhaps be found advisable to move slowly. One writer in contrasting the military ideal of discipline with the democratic ideal says : "We shall seek rather to form habits of service and responsibility through devotion to the community or, smaller groups in which the child is placed, and so to develop the sense of fellowship which is the foundation of patriotism and good citizenship. Just as the old discipline; half pipe-clay and half brutality, is being changed into something finer and more intelligent in our new armies—the outcome of toils and dangers shared and of the consciousness of a common purpose —so too in our schools we want a discipline based on a sense of fellowship and the service of the community." This is the ideal our teachers have been aiming at, and the furnace of war through which the Empire has passed has given this ideal a severe test. We are proud of the part New Zealand has taken in the war. Her young men enlisted readily, and in courage and skill on the battlefields they showed themselves equal to the best soldiers. _ Have not our education system and its administration at least some claim to a part of the credit for this? We do not propose dealing with the general question of reconstruction after the war. On this point Dr. Michael Sadler says, " It may be predicted, however, that as a result of the war the character-forming influences in British education will be imitated in Germany, and that on the other hand German zeal in encouraging research and technological training will receive closer attention from the British Government." While our aims for improvement will probably be on materialistic lines, one great lesson wo can learn from the war is that we must not loosen our hold on what has been the main ideal of British education, for it is spiritual influence and not purely material aims that can render the most indispensable service to education.

SOUTHLAND. Sin, - Invercargill, 29th March, 1919. We have the honour to submit our report on the schools of Southland for the year ended 31st December, 19 IS. The following table gives the number on the rolls, the classification, and average ages according to classes of the pupils attending the public schools of the district. : —

The year has been exceptional : educational interests have suffered through .the war and through the epidemic. The effect of the latter has been very serious, the period of instruction being materially shortened. The demand for war service was responsible for much difficulty in filling vacancies, especially country vacancies. Consequently many appointments were unsatisfactory, and relieving teachers (some of them "makeshifts") had to be very extensively employed. Moreover, the large town schools missed the services of capable young men. The immediate outlook is poor, especially in respect of male teachers. The early retirement of the older teachers will create vacancies, while the depletion of the training-college ranks through the war has interrupted the supply. It seems inevitable that the Board's staff of teachers will for some years include a relatively large proportion of untrained, or partially trained, and uncertificated teachers. The partially trained are recruited from the ranks of pupil-teachers and probationers that, do not proceed to the training-college; the untrained get positions by default of qualified applicants. The majority of sole teachers and some junior assistants in small schools are uncertificated; of the former class a considerable number cannot do much more than give rudimentary instruction in English and arithmetic. It is to be regretted that there is still a serious shortage of male applicants for positions as pupil-teachers and probationers, and it is disappointing to find that there are so many applicants with only the intermediate qualification. The results of the Board's annual examination of pupil-teachers and probationers were on the whole satisfactory, but the general standard of the work was not high. With a view to assisting uncertificated teachers, the plan of making two-day visits to certain schools was continued, twenty-two such visits being made; and in accordance with (he usual practice we classified the pupils in schools taught by uncertificated teachers. One of the first difficulties encountered by uncertificated teachers is the preparation of a scheme of work. In the intervals that have occurred when the routine duties of their office were less pressing the Inspectors have endeavoured to construct a suitable model scheme for sole-teacher schools. It is hoped that this scheme will bo ready for circulation at an early date. The quality of the instruction is reported as good or very good in 30 per cent, of the schools in the district, as satisfactory in 52 per cent., and as fair in 18 per cent. The defects in methods of teaching referred to below are, of course, most frequent in the third of these classes. At the same time, the schools included in the second class, while regarded as on the whole satisfactory, need improvements in certain directions. With so many untrained teachers in the service it is not at all surprising that we have to note many defects in the actual work of teaching. Many young teachers make no preparation for the work of the day, and consequently much of their time is badly spent; in their case we have pointed out that preparation the night before is absolutely essential. As regards the attitude of pupils towards their work the two opposites of woodcnness and restlessness are both prevalent. A good many sole teachers seem to forget that it is their business to see and supervise not only the members of the class being taught Tint every pupil in the school, otherwise continuous efficient effort cannot be secured. In many cases the text-book is the main obstacle to progress, arid "teaching" means setting work from the book and "hearing" it or correcting it. The part the pupil should play in his own education is often forgotten ; he is to a good many teachers only an empty vessel to be filled, not an active intellectual being whose co-operation is indispensable. _ Many young teachers see no necessity for the use of concrete examples or for reference to the facts of ordinary existence —arithmetic is a matter of tables and drill in figures, history a mass of book-learnt facts. Similarly, though blackboards are plentiful, they are rarely used for purposes of illustration. Simultaneous work is much too largely employed : one hears pupils simultaneously spelling words which they are quite able to spell without the process. Three faults are common in questioning. The teacher is often satisfied with simultaneous answering, not realizing how deceptive this method of ascertaining progress is. Again, the questions are often badly distributed :by a show of hands

the teacher ascertains who can answer; the result is that the stolid pupils who dislike mental exertion are practically freed from it, Lastly, the questions put are too fragmentary, and can be answered by any one with, the least modicum of knowledge. While it is well for a teacher occasionally to test by examination the progress of his pupils and to arouse their emulation by systematic mark-giving, it is plain that in a good many cases the plan is adopted on too extravagant a scale. The time occupied in giving marks in different subjects daily and in 100 frequent examination could be better spent in good honest teaching. It sliould be remembered, too, that emulation badly managed easily produces envy, malice, and hatred. In. some instances the teacher has no conception of the elementary principles of school method — e.g., pupils nominally in the same class are working in different parts of the arithmetic-book; dictation is given at haphazard without any preparation, and, of course, with, a large daily crop of errors to be dealt with; pupils are allowed to practise writing without any instruction as io form and height of letters; a, new reading-lesson is taken without instruction as to the pronunciation and use of new words; and composition exercises are set on new themes without any previous attempt at bringing together or arranging the material. In regard to improving the methods of teaching, such assistance as the Inspector can give on the occasion of his visits is quite inadequate to meet the needs of the case. Teachers who would benefit by such a course might be released for two weeks in the year and required to attend a school in which approved methods are employed. Unfortunately we have no sole-teacher school within easy distance of a centre which could be used as a model. In the case of assistant teachers it is easier to find a suitable school where they can attend to observe methods. We would therefore, as a partial solution of a very serious problem, urge that a model sole-teacher school be established near Invercargill. We are of opinion, too, that the employment of an organizing teacher of ability, who could spend a, whole week at each school visited, would effect an improvement in the weaker schools. fortunately the majority of the country schools wdiose S6 pupils are examined for proficiency certificates at their own schools had been visited in October or early in November before the outbreak of the epidemic. The few remaining country schools were visited early- in 1919. In the case of proficiency candidates that would ordinarily have been examined at centres, certificates were, wherever possible, awarded without examination, the award being based on the school records and the Inspector's preliminary examination after consultation with the head teacher, Those that failed to gain a proficiency certificate in this way were examined early in February of 1919, when a small additional number passed. The method of awarding certificates without examination, necessary under the circumstances this year, does not commend itself to us. The following is the table of results : —

The corresponding percentages for 1917 were, — Proficiency. Competency. Failed. Public schools ... ... ... ... 65-4' 17-6 170 Private schools ... ... ... ... 47*5 225 275 All schools ... ... ... ... 64-5 1.7-8 175 With regard to the results of the teaching of the various subjects wo have a few comments to make of fairly general application. There is no doubt that in a good many schools too much time is devoted to arithmetic, and, further, that the value of mental arithmetic is not sufficiently recognized. Composition still suffers from a misuse of capitals, absence of punctuation, and neglect of paragraphing. In some cases the spelling in the essay is in marked contrast to the spelling in the dictation test. Writing in the lower division" is often good, while that of S3 and S4 in the same school is inferior. In some schools the pupils' knowledge of civics consists of information memorized from notes. Colour drawing in the preparatory and junior divisions is improving in quantity and quality. Cardboard-work has been put on a satisfactory basis, thanks to the efficient teaching in that subject given at the Saturday classes. Many teachers who are honestly dissatisfied at the annual examination with the results of their work as assessed by the Inspector would do well to examine carefully their plan of work. If, for example, in S5 half of the year is taken up in teaching vulgar fractions, the rest of the course in arithmetic must necessarily receive scant attention; not only so, but the bad effect will persist through the following year. In this particular case the text-books are sometimes blamed; and certainly some text-books' exhibit great disproportion as regards the space allotted to the different parts of the course. The wise teacher easily surmounts this difficulty by using the book judiciously. Since examinations have to be begun in June it is evident that in schools examined early in the year a good part of the year's work is not tested. There is good reason to believe that in some cases that portion is more or less neglected. At our first visits of inspection early in the year we have tested the knowledge of history and geography acquired by pupils of S5 and _S6 during their two years in S3 and S4. We may say frankly that the results of our investigation have disappointed us. In other subjects, too, such as manual instruction, nature-study, and hygiene, we are somewhat afraid that there is a slackening-off after the Inspector's visit, _partly because such work is more troublesome to the untrained teacher than English and arithmetic, and (in S6) partly because additional time is thus afforded for preparing pupils in English and

arithmetic for the proficiency examination. This would seem to indicate the advisability of broadening the scope of the proficiency examination so as to make it a test not only of what is done in S6, but of what has been achieved in the whole school course. Early in July the Medical Inspector addressed a meeting of mothers on the care of children. Her address attracted a large attendance, and, judging from the inquiries since made, has resulted in much good. At the annual Institute meeting the physical instructor spoke to the assembled teachers on the spirit in which the physical instruction should be carried out, and gave some useful hints on practical work. She also exhibited a good collection of diagrams of correct and faulty postures, which were highly appreciated by those present. It is to be hoped that the few remaining teachers who still regard physical instruction as a necessary cvil —a thing merely to be tolerated —will soon see the folly of their ways. Not only so, it is hoped that all teachers will soon know from practical experience how much benefit they will derive from hearty co-operation with their pupils in outside games, and how much benefit their pupils will derive from welldirected and thorough physical instruction. The Board's rule that every room should bo thoroughly freed from foul air at the intervals is, we regret to say, not universally observed. In a number of schools the teachers arc to be commended for the plan they have adopted of causing the pupils at the change of lessons to perform some vigorous movements of arms, &c, as a relief from the constrained postures in their desks. There appears to be a general lack of proper supervision of the outhouses, female teachers being the worst offenders. School Committees in some instances have neglected to arrange for periodically cleaning out the school tanks. Insufficient care is taken of gardening-tools, with the result that they are often found covered with soil, which has dried on them. In some schools tools have been broken, and in one or two cases tools have disappeared. As a general rule noxious weeds are kept down in the school-grounds. We note with, pleasure that a number of School Committees are taking an active interest in beautifying and improving their school-grounds. While we .have in the foregoing remarks restricted ourselves mainly to indicating the chief faults observed during our visits to schools, we should acknowledge that we have found the majority of inexperienced teachers ready to follow out to the best of their ability any advice given and anxious to become more efficient in their work. We also wish to recognize the splendid work done in the thoroughly efficient schools, of which we have a goodly number in this district. Wo have, &c, A. L. Wyi,t,te,j A. Incilis, I Inspectors.

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 Schools see 8.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] AUCKLAND. Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. During the year 1918 school classes in woodwork and cookery were conducted at Whangarei, Te Kopuru, Dargaville, Helensville, Devonport, Newmarket, Newton, Otahuhu, Ponsonby, Pukekohe, Hamilton, Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Cambridge, Matamata, Rotorua, Te Aroha, Waihi, Thames, Tauranga, and Coromandel. The classes at Rotorua and Taumarunui were held in temporary premises. Arrangements have been concluded for the erection of manual-training schools at Northcote, Rotorua, and Ngaruawahia, and at each of these centres classes will begin early in 1919. As the result of the deliberations of a committee appointed to consider the question of domesticscience instruction, the Board resolved to apjioint an Organizer for Domestic Science for the Auckland Education District. Miss A. B. Juniper, from Victoria, British Columbia, was selected, and took up her duties about the middle of the year. It is anticipated that her efforts will result in considerable development, and also in raising the standard of efficiency of the work. There is urgent need for additional accommodation in the manual-training schools in the city and suburbs. The centres at Newton, Ponsonby, and Newmarket should bo converted into double centres, and new manual-training schools are needed at Avondale and Onehunga. Recognized classes in swimming and life-saving were held at twenty-nine schools during 1919. During 1918 232 public schools and eleven Native schools held recognized agriculture classes, and ninety-six schools took a combined course of agriculture and dairy science, whilst one school took dairy science. Needlework was taken by special sewing-mistresses at eighty-four schools without female teachers. 580 schools took recognized classes in handwork.

TARANAKI. Extract from the Report of the Director of Agricultural Instruction. Owing to various interruptions, many fewer visits were paid to primary schools than in past years, and many schools in the country between Stratford and the Main Trunk could not be visited at all. This was most unfortunate, as we always hold that the most important phase of instructional work is that of the primary schools. Altogether, just over two hundred such visits were paid during the year. In many schools there is a great improvement both in the scope and style of instruction and in the keeping of records. It is pleasing to note the high standard of work in many of the schools in charge of women teachers. Among others, Huirangi, Bell Block, Opunake, Matapu, and Stanley arc worthy of special mention. The experimental work at Oaonui School, winner of the Cuthbert Shield, was of very high order, and the arrangements re recording observations and results were indeed excellent, all work being done by groups of children in charge of a leader, and merely keenly supervised by the teacher. Observational work was not confined to a particular day, but was continuous, anything worthy of record being -at once noted down. In all schools here making a success of instruction this is the method pursued. To any one interested in the development of rural instruction, an examination of the exhibits at the New Plymouth winter show gave a good idea of the scope of work undertaken successfully in the way of notebooks, plans of grounds, seed and weed collections, records of yields of herds, experimental growing of various crops, root selection and judging, &c. Altogether this was a very complete and worthy exhibit.

WANGANUI. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Agriculture. —158 schools had recognized classes in agriculture or dairy-work, the average attendance being 2,456. The Supervisors- report that the notebooks show a general improvement, and that in a number of schools the indoor experimental work has reached a high level. An all-round improvement both in the character of the instruction and the appearance of the grounds was noticed. In regard to the latter, the efforts of some of the teachers were well seconded by Committees and residents. The closing of the schools on account of the epidemic interfered with the results of many garden

experiments. An exhibit, on a larger scale than the previous one, was staged at the Palmerston North winter show. The celebration of Arbor Day is a feature of school-work in this district. As many of the country school-grounds are now fully planted, it is intended in future to co-operate with the residents of these villages in the planting of reserves and roadside wastes. The question of reafforestation is an important one, and has engaged the attention of the Supervisors. With a view to gathering data in regard to the most suitable trees to plant in different localities, it was decided to plant experimental plantations at a number of schools. The experiment will be watched with interest, as it will provide very valuable information for those landowners who are anxious to undertake planting but who are in the dark as to the best way to go about it. As time goes on, portions of the schoolgrounds in other parts of the district will be planted. Woodwork, Metalwork, and Domestic Science- Classes jwere held at Wanganui, Palmerston North, Patea, Bull's, Marton, Huntorville, Taihape, Ohakune, Feilding, Rongotea, Foxton, and Apiti. 832 pupils from thirty-eight schools received instruction in woodwork, 114 pupils from five schools received instruction in metalwork, and 799 pupils from thirty-nine schools received instruction in cookery. The classes at Ohakune, which are now well established, are held in very unsuitable premises. £100 has recently been guaranteed in donations towards the cost of erecting permanent buildings, and it is hoped that these will be gone on with in the near future. Art Instruction. —The Supervisor reports that there is evidence of a steady improvement in drawing all through the district, which is clear proof of a more intelligent handling of the subject. A large number of schools was visited, the pupils' work thoroughly examined, and lessons given in drawing, &c. Teachers were assisted with the preparation of suitable schemes of work, and were given practical instruction in methods of teaching. Swimming and Life-saving. —1,351 pupils from thirteen schools received instruction in this important subject. Swimming-baths were constructed at Campbell Street and Aramoho Schools. Handwork.- Included under this heading are plasticine-modelling, carton and cardboard modelling, paper-folding, brush drawing, blackboard drawing, stick-laying, bricklaying, &c. 12,958 pupils from 182 schools received instruction. < Needlework. —Special teachers were employed at eighteen schools in charge of male teachers. Dressmaking was taught at three schools. Physiology and First Aid. —This subject was taught at two schools, the average attendance being seventy-eight. Physical Measurements. —247 pupils belonging to three schools received instruction in this subject. The following table shows the number of schools at which classes were held in each subject, and the number of pupils who received instruction: —

Voluntary Contributions. —During the year the sum of £353 6s. Id. was received in voluntary contributions.

HAWKE'S BAY. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Manual Instruction. —Classes in elementary-handwork subjects (plasticine-modelling, crayon-work, paper-folding, paper-cutting, cardboard-work, and colour-work) were recognized in 130 schools. As in the past two years, great difficulty was experienced in obtaining materials for the work of these classes. Most of the materials ordered from English firms did not arrive until fifteen months from date of order, and certain classes of goods, such as knives, scissors, sticks, coins, and saucers, were unobtainable either from Australian or English houses. The enormous increase in the price of these materials also placed a strain on the finances of the Board, owing to the fact that the capitation paid by the Department remained at the same rate as prior to the war. The average roll number of pupils in the different groups of classes who received instruction in various branches of handwork were : Class Pto S2, 6,464; S3 and S4, 2,875 ; S5 and S6, 2,241 : total, 11,580.

increase of 573 over those of the previous year. Classes in needlework, recognized under clause 26 (c) of the Manual and Technical Regulations, were conducted at six schools. The roll number was sixtytwo, and the average yearly attendance fifty-three. Three schools were unable to find instructors, and in consequence no work was done throughout the year. Swimming and Life-saving. —Only six classes were recognized|in|this subject|during year. It is to be regretted that more schools do not recognize the value of swimming and life-saving as a physical exercise, apart from its utility value. The average yearly attendance was 200. Woodwork, Cookery, and Dressmaking. —As in previous years, these classes were conducted at centres, to which the pupils from surrounding schools came for instruction. Centres were in operation at Gisborne, Hastings, Waipawa, Dannevirke, and Woodville. The manual-training centre at Napier, it is hoped, will be built some time during 1919. The work in cookery and dressmaking classes throughout the district has been very satisfactory. Cood work has been done in woodwork at Hastings and southern centres, but the work at Gisborne centre requires to be greatly improved to reach the standard of two years ago. The work exhibited at the annual agricultural and pastoral show at Hastings in October last was most creditable, and instructors, teachers, and pupils alike are to be congratulated upon the exhibits. The table below shows the number of classes and the average yearly attendance :— Number of Average Classes. Attendance. Woodwork .. .. .. .. .. 27 517 Cookery . . .. .. .. -.. .. 26 445 Dressmaking .. .. .. .. .. 26 456 79 1,418 The number of classes and the pupils in attendance also show an increase over the previous year. Most of the pupils in these classes show considerable interest in their work, and good progress was made during the year. In the junior classes in cookery most of the time was devoted to practical work, although a fair amount of theoretical work was attempted, mostly of an experimental nature. In the second year (rural course) a greater amount of time should be devoted to the theory of cookery and the scientific principles underlying the practical processes. A greater amount of attention should be given to the supervision' and correction of notebooks. Science Classes. —During 1918, classes in elementary science were conducted in 130 schools. These included fifty-nine in agriculture, fifty-one in agriculture and dairy science, and twenty in elementary experimental science. The numbers of classes and average yearly attendance are as follows : — Number of Average Classes. Attendance. Elementary agriculture .. . . . . . . 59 844 Agriculture and dairy science .. .. .. 51 1,087 Experimental science .. .. .. .. 20 690 130 2,621 During the year classes in agriculture and dairy science were held at Woodville, Dannevirke, and Hastings for teachers who were taking those subjects in the upper standards. The classes were well attended. Scientific apparatus and materials for indoor science-work were supplied to forty-nine schools. A number of schools still make no attempt to improve their surroundings or to beautify the school-grounds. This is a phase of the school-work in which the Committees could be of great assistance to teachers. I would suggest that improvements should be commenced by hedge and tree planting on Arbor Day. School-gardens arc not used to the best advantage, and few teachers make use of the garden for nature-study purposes. A number of teachers in the small schools are uncertificated, and have received no training in science-work. It is impossible for these teachers to take the science-work required by the regulations. It is hoped that the day is not far distant when the Education Department will insist that all teachers receive a course of training before they commence their career as teachers.

CANTERBURY. Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual Training. With respect to elementary handwork, there has been considerable development in the teaching of all subjects coming under this heading. As was pointed out in my last report, it was not to be expected that such a large district could be brought into one harmonious whole without a considerable amount of trouble, especially as some of the schools in the outlying parts of the district had not previously taken up any form of handwork, and the teachers were totally unacquainted with the requirements. However, to a great extent this difficulty has been overcome, and there is now distinct evidence indicating a great improvement in the handwork done in the district. In spite of the fact that all handwork material was hard to obtain, and the material available was a high price, the Board was able to supply all schools with material to carry on constructive work in paper and cardboard

[Appendix C.

modelling, and plasticine, and design and colour work, and in all cases the schools in the outlying districts were treated as liberally as the more fortunate town schools. It is a regrettable fact that although the cost of all material has increased considerably, in some cases up to 100 per cent., the Department has not increased the capitation rates to enable Boards to replenish stocks. Elementary handwork was taken up at 400 schools in the district, and 28,167 pupils received instruction, an increase of 1,000 over the previous year. Teachers also showed greater keenness to take up advanced branches of handwork. Included in this list are classes as part of the rural courses of instruction —classes in woodwork, ironwork, cookery, domestic economy, hygiene, home science, laundry-work, dressmaking, needlework, swimming, &c. Instruction in woodwork, cookery, &c, was given at twenty-two different centres in the district; in all, there were 124 classes in each subject, with an average of about 6,000 pupils. As in former years, pupils were conveyed by rail, coach, tram, &c, to attend the different centres, and such is the value placed on the instruction by parents and teachers that almost every available pupil made application to attend. In many cases train services are not as suitable as they were before the restricted service came in. Although no new centres were established during the year, a groat deal was done to improve the conditions at some of the centres that badly needed it. Arrangements have been made for a greatly increased building programme during the incoming year. The difficulty with regard to the overcrowding at the Christchurch centres will shortly be overcome, as the Department has given a substantial grant, and an up-to-date building will shortly be erected at Phillipstown to cater for the requirements of all the schools near that centre. An attempt was made to establish new centres at Hawarden and Southbridge. The Department approved of a grant of £400 for the purpose of providing a building at Southbridge, but on account of the great cost of building at the present time it was found impossible to get the work carried out for this sum ; while for the same reason a building could not be erected at Kaikoura, although the Department promised £300 and the Kaikoura County Council promised £150 for that purpose. The rooms at Hokitika were found to be too small for all the pupils offering, also the woodwork-room was condemned as being unsafe, so application was sent to the Department asking for a grant to provide a better building. The sum of £750 has now been approved, and the. work of erecting the building will be taken in hand shortly. At Lyttelton matters have been in a bad state for some time past, as the building in use is quite unsuitable for manual training. After a good deal of agitation the Borough Council has now generously offered a site of land, and promised a grant of £200 for the erection of a technical-school building in which manual classes will be held. When the building is erected the pupils from the Heathcote School will be enabled to attend classes for woodwork and cookery. When the above buildings are all completed Canterbury will be well supplied with manual-training buildings, every centre, with perhaps the exception of two, having a building of its own; and it is hoped that it will be possible to provide instruction for a very large proportion of the pupils in the district, which will help to bring the school life of the pupils into closer relationship with both their home and future life. The great difficulty in carrying on Woodwork and cookery classes is to provide capable instructors to take up the work at the smaller centres. This difficulty cannot be overcome till the Department increases the capitation rates or takes over the payment of all manual instructors, as the capitation rate paid is not nearly adequate for carrying on the work properly. The requirements of our boys at the front have again not been neglected during the year by either pupils or instructors. At all centres a great deal was done by way of supplying articles for Bed Cross and patriotic purposes.. Too much praise cannot be given to the cookery instructresses, who voluntarily stepped into the breach and gave their services in their respective kitchens in the matter of choking nutritious foods for those stricken down during the epidemic. Generally the influenza epidemic prevented any displays of work done during the year in connection with the classes, but pupils attending manual-training centres in the northern part of the district gave an interesting exhibition at the Oxford Show. Seventy-five classes for sw mming and life-saving were carried on regularly at the beginning of the year, and instruction was given to about two thousand pupils, but weather conditions and the epidemic did away with all idea of holding classes towards the latter part of the year. The interest in agricultural education continues to increase year by year. For the first time a permanent agricultural instructor was stationed on the coast; this enabled Hokitika and Grcymouth to take up the rural course of instruction during the latter part of the year. Southbridge also began the rural course, but unfortunately no provision could be made for the teaching of woodwork and cookery in connection with the course. In all, thirteen district high schools carried on the rural course, with an average attendance of about 252. At 217 primary schools the subject of elementary agriculture was taught, and two primary schools took up dairy science. Extract from the Report op the Chief Instructor in Agriculture. The year has been marked by a large number of breaks of an unavoidable character, and these have greatly militated against the efficient conduct of the courses of instruction. Chief among the causes of interruption were the difficulty in obtaining the services of assistant instructors, the severe snowstorm, my own enforced absence for a fortnight, and the influenza epidemic. Notwithstanding these interruptions, however, the instruction in the primary schools compares more than favourably with that of other education districts. The candidates for the various public examinations have again done well. One hundred and fifteen schools in North Canterbury, seventy-four in South Canterbury, and twenty-three on the West Coast gave formal instruction in agriculture. The Carleton School succeeded

in winning the Macfarlane Shield for the greatest improvement in the school-gardens of North Canterbury during 1917, and Gust School was declared the winner for 1918. The Hurdley Shield in South Canterbury was wpn by the Hilton School.

SOUTHLAND. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. Elementary Handwork, —With but a few exceptions in the case of some of the smallest schools, handwork, in some form or other, may be said to have received attention in all schools throughout the district. As hitherto, the, subjects most commonly taken were plasticine-modelling and paperfolding in the lower classes and cardboard-work in the upper. Very considerable difficulty was experienced in obtaining the necessary supplies of materials, but fortunately, though some lines were quite unobtainable, the most important needs of the classes were able to be met, substitutes of local manufacture being provided where possible. The burning question of the increased cost of material was one that had to be faced in connection with all handwork requirements, being especially serious in the case of the drawing-books required for pastel-work and brushwork. Unfortunately, however, the capitation available to meet this largely increased expenditure remained exactly the same. However, it is hoped that, slow though the return to normal condition after the effects of war may be, yet the disabilities under which work has been carried on will soon be considerably lightened. Woodwork and Cookery. —In all schools within a reasonable distance of a manual-training centre woodwork or cookery has been the subject of handwork for the upper standards, country children attending for one day per week for a period of thirteen weeks, and town and suburban children for one lesson of two hours per week for thirty weeks, or of throe hours for twenty weeks. Up till 1918 the instructors in the main centre in Invercargill had charge of classes from the Technical High School in addition to those from the primary schools, but the increase in the number of children attending from primary schools was deemed sufficient to warrant the Board in utilizing the services of the instructors entirely in connection with primary work, with results that have proved in every way satisfactory. The number of schools represented at one or other of the three centres was as follows : Invercargill, 36 ; Gore, 26 ; Riverton, 13. At Invercargill 607 boys and 583 girls received instruction ; at Gore, 345 boys and 332 girls ; at Riverton, 136 boys and 113 girls ; the total numbers being thus 1,088 boys and 1,028 girls. Altogether there were forty-eight separate classes for boys and forty-seven for girls. In connection with the winter show of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association an interesting display was made of work in cookery and woodwork, as well as in school-garden produce, the whole display being generally recognized as one of the most attractive features of the show. The most important event of the year in connection with these classes was undoubtedly the opening towards the end of the year of the first portion of the new manual-training school in Invercargill. The change from the two old rooms that had done duty for so many years to an up-to-date building, fitted with every convenience for carrying on work under conditions as nearly approaching the ideal as can at present be secured, has been very much appreciated by both instructors and pupils. When this building is completed, as it is expected it soon will be, by the addition of two more classrooms, one for woodwork and one for cookery, the Board will have a school which, after prospective additions are made in the near future in the way of equipment, will suffice to meet the needs of manual training for many years to come. The prospect of having within a year or two an abundant supply of electricity available throughout the district for every household purpose, and at a price within the reach of every one, makes it imperative that provision be made for girls to receive instruction in the new appliances that will shortly be indispensable in every household. Elementary Agriculture. —lnstruction in this subject was given during the year in 113 schools, an increase of four over the corresponding figure for last year. In the majority of cases satisfactory work was accomplished, but, unfortunately, the long vacation as a result of the influenza epidemic nullified to a large extent the value of the experimental work in progress, in many schools the gardens receiving no attention whatever at the very time of the year when constant attention is essential. It is gratifying to record, however, that in an increasing number of schools commendable efforts are being made to improve the surroundings. As the provisions of the regulations governing the granting of subsidies on money raised by voluntary effort have become better known, greater interest has been manifested in the way of rendering the grounds pleasing and attractive. It ttiust be confessed, however, that in too many cases the school buildings are conspicuous by their bare and uninviting surroundings, little or no attempt in this direction being made to cultivate in the child during its most impressionable years that love for the beautiful that is essentially a part of its education. That a very considerable amount of work in attending to the beautifying of the school-grounds can be successfully undertaken by the children without the ordinary programme of garden-work being in any way interfered with is evidenced in a number of schools both in town and country, and where the responsibility for the condition of the ornamental plots and borders is laid upon the children the results have been most encouraging. As a factor in stimulating interest in this branch of education it should be mentioned that early in the year a local firm presented to the Board a silver cup for competition amongst schools receiving instruction in agriculture, it being stipulated that in making an award due consideration was to|be paid to both (the garden-work and the efforts made to beautify the grounds. Waianiwa, the winning school for the first year, well deserved the honour.

[Appendix C.

To the local manure-merchants the Board was again indebted for generous donations of fertilizer sufficient to meet the ordinary requirements of all the schools taking agriculture. The continued efforts of the Board to arouse in the children an interest in the saving of grass-seed resulted in seed to the value of £24 10s. 6d. being sent in to this office for disposal, and in addition it is known that a considerable quantity was collected by children and sold directly to the seedmerchants. When we consider, however, the enormous quantity in the aggregate still allowed to go to waste the results are somewhat disappointing. Advanced Needlework. —ln this subject work was carried on during the year in forty-two schools, work of a patriotic nature taking a prominent place in the programme. The results, as seen in the finished work forwarded to this office towards the close of the year, were extremely creditable, and evidenced the undoubtedly keen interest the girls had taken in their work. Owing to the dislocation of arrangements as a result of the influenza epidemic, and the impossibility of getting the garments shipped Home as has been done hitherto, it was eventually decided to hand everything over for local distribution, especially in view of the many cases of distress revealed during the progress of the epidemic. It need hardly be added that the garments came in most opportunely, and were highly appreciated. Other Subjects. —As regards the other manual subjects in which instruction was given in certain schools, there is little that calls for special comment. The number of schools receiving instruction in physical measurements shows a decrease from eleven to nine. In the case of classes for instruction in swimming and life-saving it is unfortunate that very little was accomplished, unfavourable weather and the early closing-down of the schools as a result of the influenza epidemic rendering regular instruction impossible. The number of schools in which instruction was given in the various manual subjects was as follows : Elementary handwork, 178 ; physical measurements, 9 ; elementary agriculture, 113 ; advanced needlework, 42 ; swimming and life-saving, 5 ; woodwork and cookery, 75 ; standard needlework (special instructors), 20.

No. 2. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORTS OF PRINCIPALS OF TRAINING COLLEGES. AUCKLAND. (IT. G. Cousins, Esq., M.A., Acting-Principal.) The work of the year has been difficult, and, although much has been achieved, the following adverse conditions have militated against complete success: (1) Unrest due to the war, students finding it difficult to settle to work with the prospect of an early call to camp ; (2) insufficiency of staffing and accommodation for the increased number of students, and lack of sufficient opportunity for training in the work of a sole-charge school; (3) The delay and difficulty in obtaining sufficient suitable associated teachers to supplement the Normal School staff in the training of students ; (4) interruption of work and subsequent closing of the College for five weeks on account of the influenza epidemic. The following table shows the number of students for the year:—

It is worthy of mention that of the eighty-five students admitted to College during the year four were returned soldiers, two of them having completed a first year in College three years ago. After their military experiences they have returned with pleasure to their civil work, and have fully appreciated, I believe, the opportunities that the College offers for their professional training and for happy social life. Following the plan of preceding years, a half-term alternation was arranged between the firstyear students and those of the second year for their practical training in teaching on the one hand and the more theoretical work in College on the other. Owing to the exceptional number of new students the balance of these two sections was not good. During the first half-term, for example, while fifty-six second-year students were being trained, in the Normal School, eighty-two first-year students were under instruction in College. Owing to the limitation of the staff little subdivision was possible, with the result that some of the classes were unduly large. During the second half of the same term provision had to be made for the practical training of the first-year students, while those of the second year were attending classes in College. The difficulty of accommodating so many (eighty-two) in classes for practical training had been anticipated. As early as December the Committee of Advice had recommended the appointment of sufficient assoo'ated teachers to supplement the staff of the Normal School for this purpose, but as late as April, five weeks after College opened, the appointments were not yet completed, and for a fortnight the College work was considerably disorganized as a result. A special difficulty during the year has been the obtaining of sufficient practical training in the work of a sole-charge school and in that of the lower classes of a two-teacher school, one only of each type being provided in the Normal School. Although the teachers of these schools were considerably overworked in helping me to meet this difficulty, a number of students have had to leave College with insufficient training in this highly important branch of school-work. The congestion in the College caused by the increased number of students was partly met by the use of a room in the Normal School as an additional women's common-room. On the whole it served its purpose well, but it is so far removed from the rest of the College that it can be regarded only as a temporary provision. It is gratifying to note that provision has been made for an increased staff by the amendments to the Training College Regulations, gazetted on the 17th December last. In order to provide a training as broad as possible the College activities have been very varied. Visits of observation have been paid to such places of interest as Mount Eden, the Museum, the Art Gallery, and the Institute for the Blind. Peripatetic parties, varying in number from twenty to one hundred and twenty, have engaged in many walking excursions. On the physical side generally College life has again shown much activity, more particularly in hockey, basket-ball, tennis, fives, and swimming. In spite of our efforts to maintain conditions suitable for good health, a number of cases of illness occurred during the year. I think the time has come for a hostel to be established in connection with the College, and for a medical officer to be appointed to watch over the physical welfare of the students. The advantages accruing from regular habits and wisely regulated diet should be utilized for such an institution as our College.

Fortnightly socials have been held in College on Saturday evenings, as in previous years, with programmes provided either by the students or by visitors. During the year a reading circle has been instituted. The discussions on the books read showed considerable independence of judgment, and were distinctly promising of growing character. In July the annual concert was given by the College Glee Club with much success. At Easter an enjoyable annual reunion of past and present students was held, and the opportunity was taken to send a cheery message to our "Old As".on active service. The College is always pleased to welcome back its old students, and fully recognizes how much the maintenance of its best traditions depends on the goodwill of those who have passed through its portals. The early closing of College on account of the severity of the influenza epidemic necessitated the abandonment of a number of functions which have been much appreciated in the past. A good deal of the year's work was left incomplete, and several examinations had to be omitted. It is worthy of record that both students and members of the staff found many fields of useful service during the dreadful visitation, and, I believe, acquitted themselves most creditably in the performance of the distressing and arduous duties entailed. The amendments to the Training College Regulations gazetted on the 17th December will, I believe, prove of great advantage to this College. The students will much appreciate the increased allowances, and in future no student should be debarred, for financial reasons from entering College. The provisions in the, amended regulations for special treatment of pupil-teachers, probationers, and training-college students who have been on active service, will, I believe, prove highly satisfactory, and the Minister is to be congratulated on their opportune appearance.

WELLINGTON. (J. S. Tennant, Esq., M.A., Principal.) The session began on the 27th February, and the College was closed by order of the Public Health Department on the 15th November. The total roll for the year was 136, made up of seventyfour junior students and sixty-two seniors. During the year two names were taken off the roll and seven men were absent on military duty. An analysis of the roll gives the following details : — (i.) Women, 115 ; men, 21. (ii.) Probationers, 70 ; pupil-teachers, 49 ; others, 17. (iii.) Division A, 119 ; Division B, 11 ; Division C, 3 ; Division D, 3. The various districts were represented as follows : Wellington, 45 ; Wanganui, 32 ; Hawke's Bay, 20; Nelson, 18 ; Taranaki, 11 ; Marlborough, 5 ; Otago, 1 ; West Coast, 2 ; Canterbury,!; Southland, 1. The exact figures are not available, but the admissions to the Training College represent approximately about 60 per cent, only of those who enter the profession as pupil-teachers and probationers. The students took advantage of their University privileges as indicated by the following figures : English, 38 ; Latin, 26 ; French and German, 18 ; philosophy, 45 ; education, 60 ; history, 6 ; economics, 2 ; mathematics, 8 ; biology, 26 ; chemistry, 10 ; physics, 2 ; geology, 2. The results were that 38 first-, 68 second-, and 156 third-class passes were gained, while 28 students kept firstyear terms, 20 kept second-year, and 12 kept third-year terms. The usual course was followed with regard to the student-teaching practice. The juniors devoted the afternoons of four days a week to giving prepared lessons to the low r er-standard classes under the special supervision of the headmaster. Those not engaged in actual teaching (about half the number) attended special demonstration lessons given by the College staff. The senior students were divided into two sections, each of which had continuous practice for fortnightly periods throughout the year. In addition to this work in the Normal School, each senior student had one period in an associated school. Sixty-nine students completed their term of training at the end of the year, and the joint results of the various external examinations and the Training College recommendations are as follows : D certificates, 3 ; D and partial 0, 25 ; C certificates, 25 ; B certificates, 7 ; A certificates, 1 ; no concession, 8 : total, 69. The social life of the College lias naturally been seriously affected by war conditions, though the Students' Association continued to provide some form of recreation for three out of every four Saturday evenings a month. A number of short lectures were delivered by various ladies and gentlemen to the students during the term. The men students gave a most successful entertainment in aid of the Common-room Furniture Fund. The Glee Club, assisted by the Dramatic Club, also gave two very successful concerts. The question of student accommodation has now become a most pressing one, and it was with the greatest difficulty that anything like suitable lodgings were found for some of the later entrants. I sincerely hope that something will be done this year in the way of providing another hostel. The health of students was fair, but probably would this year have been worse had it not been for the splendid work of the Friends' Hostel and the Women Students' Hostel,

During the year five teachers resigned. Two of the vacancies thus caused were filled by new teachers, but owing to the dearth of suitable applicants, senior students were placed temporarily in charge of the other classes and acquitted themselves creditably. "Where singleness of am and continuity of practice are so essential it is a serious matter to have practically, one-third of the teaching staff change within the year. The new main school at Kelburn was begun in August, and was to have been finished in January, but it is questionable whether it will be ready for occupation before Easter. As no suitable 1 uilding was avilable, Standards 111 and IV were accommodated in the men's con.mon-rcom in the College. One of our most pressing necessities in the near future will be playing-space for the school, and I would again urge your Board to acquire the only two vacant sections now available in the vicinity. Though land here is costly, I feel sure it will never be cheaper in this part of Wellington. An anonymous donor has given a very handsome sum to be spent in playground improvements for the little ones, as soon as it is possible to determine exactly where they are to play.

CHRISTCHURCH. (C. T. Asohman, Esq., Acting-Principal). The most serious event during the year was the death of the Principal, Mr. T. S. Foster. After a long period of leave he resumed his duties at the Training College at the beginning of August, but his rapidly declining health forced him early in September to tender his resignation as from the Ist January, 1919, and on the Bth September he died at his home in his sixty-fifth year. As headmaster, Inspector, and active member of many local scholastic bodies, his splendid services and undoubted influence made him an important factor in the educational world of Canterbury ; but it was during the six years he occupied the position of Principal of the Training College that his happiest and most effective work was done. To the members of the staff and to the students of those years his devotion to his work and his unfailing kindliness of heart will remain as a pleasant and a lasting memory. On account of the influenza epidemic the Training College was closed by order of the District Health Officer on the 11th November. Viewed at first as a temporary measure, this compulrory vacation extended to the end of the year, causing undoubted dislocation in the work of the senior students especially. But through the willingly given consideration of the Department, none of the students concerneel suffered in the slightest degree, except perhaps on account of the abrupt and unceremonious ending to their course of training. It is pleasing to be able to record the valuable work done by the staff and by man.)' of the students during the trying days when the epidemic was at its worst. At the beginning of 1918 forty-seven students returned to complete their second year, and seventy were admitted, making a total of 117. Of these, ninerty-nine were women students. During the year one withdrew on account of ill health and five men joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. The organization and scheme of work for the Training College differed in no marked degree ficm the plan outlined in the report submitted last year. One variation ma3 r be noted : lectures were arranged to be given by experts in subjects outside the Training College curricukm, and visits weie made by the senior students to some of the most important industries in the city, and to the Deaf Institute at Sumner. As far as could be judged the experiment proved most successful. Not only were the patriotic efforts energetically sustained, but the various Training] College organizations showed evidence of abundant vitality. Throughout the year the attitude of the students towards their work was deserving"of the highest commendation.

DUNEDIN. (E. Pinder, Esq., M.A.., Principal.) At the end of 1917 sixty-two- students went out of College -namely, fifty-five second-year students (six men and forty-nine women) and seven one-year students (two men and five women). Of these, by recommendation and examination, the following obtained certificates : One obtained B, forty-nine obtained C, fourteen completed or obtained D, and four obtained partial D, five obtained credit towards 0 in four subjects, six obtained credit towards C in three subjects, one will obtain C on completing D. As to University results :Of those going out at end of 1917 two took B.A. degree, six passed first section of B.A. degree, five passed proficiency for B in two subjects, and three passed proficiency for B in one subject. One student shared the Senior University Scholarship in Latin with another student. The numbers this year were, at the close of the year, forty-four second-year students (three men and forty-one women), fifty-six first-year students (ten men and forty-six women). During the year seven men left for camp and two women left ill.

The work of the year was distributed as follows : — . Classes taken and distribution of work were as follows : —

Results of University work for this year were as follows : Seven first class, fifty-seven second class, 131 third class. One student obtained the Macandrew Scholarship for Economics. The results of the College work and certificate examination and degree examinations will, of course, not be known till next year. Seven students took first-year's terms, fifteen students took second-year's terms, thirteen sat for first section of B.A. degree, five sat for second section of B A. degree. Of the men students who entered the College since 1913—the year before the war—fifty-six have gone to the front or to cam]). Of these eleven have been killed and many wounded more or less severely. There have been no changes on the staff during the year. Teaching practice has been carried out regularly on the lines indicated in last year's report. The position is generally unsatisfactory in the following ways : — (1.) The Normal School is insufficient to afford practice for all students. (2.) Associated classes are under different controls and methods. (3.) Much of the practice is of the wrong kind and unsuitable for a country-school destination. The whole position —namely, two years only for study and teaching practice, together with unsuitability of practice indicated above —one hopes is only temporary, and a stage towards a future better state of things. I have to express my satisfaction with the garden-work carried out by the Board's agricultural instructor. lam trying to find time to put all students through the garden course whether they take home science or not. Both of these subjects demand at least three hours each a week to be done properly, and it is difficult to find the time. The College course is a very full one, and means for most students an average of about seven hours classes a day with home-work thrown in. The agriculture students last year turned out of the cottage garden 1,23] shrubs and 928 trees, both native and imported kinds, which were distributed to the Board's se-,hools. The students, besieles growing these from cuttings and seeds, have practice in all forms of garden-cultivation, budding and grafting and propagating-work. They get practice in the model cottage-garden alongside their own, and in the Botanical Gardens propagating-house, which is not far away. Some of them take a keen interest in the work ; others, whose tendency of mind is more subjective, do not quite realize what opportunities are offered to them. The year has been a gloomy one. The, weather has been unusually severe, bereavements due to the war have been distressingly frequent, and there has been more sickness than I ever remember among the students. The question eif suitable board bulks largely here. When will the Government realize that if they expect large numbers of girls to spend two years away from home at college they must face the duty of supplying them with decent board and lodging ? The position is becoming increasingly serious as prices increase.
