SECONDARY EDUCATION. 1. EXTRACT FROM THE FORTY-SECOND REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. NuMßEit of Schools. (Table Kl.) Schools affording education of a secondary nature are established in every centre of any importance in the Dominion, and are of the following types : Secondary schools, technical high schools, district high schools, private secondary schools, and Maori secondary schools. The majority of the district high schools are in the country centres, the secondary schools and technical high schools being in the larger towns and cities. The secondary schools, which are under the control of twenty-seven separate controlling authorities, may be classed as follows :— (a.) Endowed secondary schools included in the Ninth Schedule to the Education Act, 1914 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 32 (b.) Secondary schools without endowments established in the manner provided by section 88 of the Education Act, 1914 .. .. .. .. 1 (c.) Endowed secondary schools within the meaning of the Act, but not included above .. .. ... .. .. . . . . .. 2 Total .. .. .. .. .. .. ..38 Of the thirty-eight schools, twelve are for boys, twelve for girls, and ten are mixed schools. Four of the schools under-(a) are not in operation- namely, Akaroa, Greymouth, Hokitika, and Waimate. At these places secondary education is carried on in the secondary departments of district high schools, to which the High School Boards supply some financial assistance. The number of distr'ct high schools in 1918 was sixty-two, technical high schools eight, Maori secondary schools ten, and private secondary schools registered under the Education Act, 1914, eighteen, making a total of one hundred and thirty-two schools affording secondary education. Roll and Attendance. (Tables Xl, K2, LI, and L 2.) The total number of pupils attending the thirty-four secondary schools included under a), (b), and (c) above at the end of 1917 and 1918 respectively was — , 1917. , , 1918. , Boys. Girls. Totals.

The number of firstyear pupils alone was 383 more than in 1917. \

Of 9,551 children who left the primary schools having passed S(i in 1917, 1,382 entered the secondary departments of district high schools, 3,269 secondary schools, and 1,422 technical high schools ; hence a total of 0,073 children, or (54 per cent', of those who left the primary schools having passed S6, in 1917, or 42 per cent, of the whole number that left school in that year, entered upon an education of a secondary nature at one of the types of school mentioned. In addition to those enumerated, 2,212 children proceeded from the primary schools to evening technical classes. Of these, 1,528 had passed SO and (jB4 had not done so. The average length of stay of boys at secondary schools (group (a) above) is two years and ten months, and of girls two years and nine months. Tin; following figures show the percentage of children leaving the secondary schools at the stages indicated : — Boys. Girls. (a.) Percentage leaving at end of first year or duriug second year .. 19 18 (b.) „ second " „ third „ .. 30 35 (c.) „ third „ fourth „ .. 20 21 (d.) „ fourth „ fifth „ .. 20 13 (c.) „ fifth ~ sixth ~ .. 7 11 (/.) Percentage remaining at end of sixth year .. .. 4 2 It is satisfactory to note that the proportion of pupils leaving at the end of the first or during the second year is gradually diminishing. In L 916 25 per cent, of the boys and. 27 per cent, of the girls left school at that early stage ; the corresponding figures for 1918 were, as shown above, 19 per cent, and 18 per cent, respectively. About half the pupils entering the secondary schools remain after the exp ration of their junior free p'aees — i.e., after the end of two years' tuition. The length of time spent by pupils at the secondary departments of district high schools is still shorter, less than half the pupils remaining till the end of the second year and about one-sixth remaining till the end of the third year. In the case of these schools it

E.—6

s recognized that pupils often attend merely with the object of finishing off their primary education, and that the number preparing for higher education or for the learned professions is small. Curriculum of Secondary Schools and District High Schools. (Tables Kl2 and L 3.) Although there are no departmental regulations directly governing the curriculum of secondary schools, the regulations defining the subjects of nstruction to be taught to free-place holders and the prescribed syllabuses of the various public examinations to a large extent control the character of the courses of work undertaken. The approved schemes of control of secondary schools also contain a provision for the programme of work of each girl to include adequate instruction in elementary domestic science and hygiene and in one or more of the domestic arts. No pupil is compelled to take Latin or more than one language besides English. The courses taken in secondary schools may be roughly classified as follows : (1) Ceneral or professional, (2) non-Latin, (3) commercial, (4) agricultural, (5) domestic. From returns received it appears that the following percentages of pupils took the various courses : Boys —Professional or general, 53 per cent. ; non-Latin, 19 per cent. ; commercial, 21 per cent. ; agricultural, 7 per cent. Girls—Professional or general, 48 per cent. ; non-Latin, 24 per cent. ; commercial, 19 per cent. ; domestic, 9 per cent. Including those taking a full agricultural course, 732 boys, or about 17 per cent., received instruction in agriculture, 126 boys were learning dairy science, and 339 took woodwork. Similarly, including the girls taking a full domestic course, 2,345, or 60 per cent., were instructed in home science, 992 were learning needlework, 748 cookery, and 41 home nursing. The number of pupils taking book-keeping was 2,060, or 25 per cent, of the whole number of students. The diminishing number of secondary-school pupils studying Latin is noticeable, only 57 per cent, of the boys and 44 per cent, of the girls including it in their course in 1918, while French was taken by 85 per cent, of the boys and by 93 per cent, of the girls. Courses bearing more or less on rural pursuits are taken in many district high schools, 70 per cent, of the boys and 39 per cent, of the girls studying agricultural science, 32 per cent, of the pupils taking dairy-work, 29 per cent, of the boys [earning woodwork, and 58 per cent, of the girls cookery or needlework. Latin is taken by only 34 per cent, of the pupils, and French by 46 per cent. The task of providing courses for pupils desiring tuition in subjects of a more or less directly practical and vocational nature, and also for pupils wishing to follow a more academic course, constitutes the peculiar difficulty of district high schools where the number of pupils and staffs are comparatively small. Free Secondary Education. (Table K4.) Free places are divided into two classes —junior and senior—both being tenable at secondary schools and district high schools, or, under somewhat different conditions, at technical schools. Generally speaking, junior free places are tenable for two years, with a, possible extension in certain cases to three years. In the case of their being held at district high schools they are tenable to the age of seventeen. The means of qualification are — (1.) For entrance to secondary schools and district high schools — (a) Special examinations for Junior National Scholarships, (b) the certificate of proficiency. (2.) For entrance to technical high schools the means of qualification named in (1), or the certificate of competency in 86, with a special endorsement of merit in handwork and elementary science, which for the purposes of technical schools is deemed to be equivalent to a certificate of proficiency. (3.) For entrance to technical classes other than technical high schools the means of qualification named in (1) or (2), or, under special conditions applicable to industrial courses only, a recommendation

E.—6

by the Inspector of Schools if a pupil is over fourteen years and has been in regular attendance at a public school up to a date not more than six months prior to the date of admission to the technical classes. Senior free places are tenable at secondary schools, district high schools, and technical high schools up to the age of nineteen, and at technical classes other than technical high schools for three or in some cases four years. The means of qualification for senior free places are the Intermediate or other equivalent examinations, or the recommendation of the Principal or Director of the school or classes attended based on the school records and examination results, or the recommendation of an Inspector of Secondary Schools, or in the case of district high schools of the Senior Inspector of the district, or in part on such a, recommendation and in part on the results of a, special examination. The provision for qualification for senior free places on the recommendation of the Principals of secondary schools is becoming increasingly applicable, the number receiving senior free places in this manner in 1918 being 1,702, as compared with 1,047 in 1917; the number represents about two-thirds of the total number of senior free places awarded. In addition, ten pupils were granted partial exemption from examination, being required to submit to a test in English and arithmetic only. The following are some of the figures for 1917 and 1918 in regard to free places in secondary schools : — 1.917. 1918.

In order to arrive at the total number of pupils in New Zealand receiving free secondary instruction, it will be necessary, however, to include also 87 holders of scholarships or exhibitions carrying free, instruction not otherwise enumerated, which are granted by the secondary schools included above or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions for free places, 2,123 free-place holders at district high schools, 103 Maori pupils receiving free education in Maori secondary schools, and 2,504 holders of free places in technical high schools. Consequently, there were approximately 1.1,783 pupils receiving free secondary education in the Dominion, exclusive of those holders of free places in technical schools (mostly evening students), who, while not taking full-day courses, were nevertheless receiving free education of secondary grade. The following table gives a summary of the various secondary free places in 1917 and 1918 for which payment was made by Government:— Free Places in December, 1917 and 1918. (i.)

Scholarships held at Secondary Schools and District High Schools. (See also Tables K4 and L 5.) These scholarships are of three kinds, — (i.) National Scholarships awarded by the Government : (ii.) Foundation (or Governors') Scholarships, given by the governing bodies of secondary schools ; (iii.) Private scholarships, endowed by private owners. National Scholarships. Junior and Senior National Scholarships in the proportion of 9 to 5 are awarded on the results of annual examinations, the junior examination being of a standard somewhat higher than that, of the certificate of proficiency, and the senior examination being of a standard comparable with the standard, of the Public Service Entrance Examination. Scholarships are awarded to all candidates reaching a certain standard, the standard of award being determined so as approximately to provide one scholarship for every 500 children in attendance at all public schools. In the case of pupils from sole-teacher schools—i.e., schools with an average attendance of under 36 —the standard of award, is made 10 per cent, lower than the general standard. The standard of qualification fixed for the 1918 examinations were 02| per cent, for junior scholarships (general standard) and (><).', per cent, for senior scholarships. The results of the examination were as follows: 214 candidates qualified for -Junior National Scholarships, as compared, with 240 in 1917, of which number 9 were pupils of sole-teacher schools, and 67 were pupils of secondary schools. The number of successful candidates from sole-teacher schools was again lower than in the previous year, and, as has been stated before, represents too small a proportion of the number of scholarships being won by pupils of small schools. The number of successful candidates from secondary schools, on the other hand, was greater than in the previous year. The number of candidates qualifying for Senior National Scholarships was 120, of which number 5 qualified on the alternative programme provided specially to suit the needs of those taking a rural or domestic course. Junior and Senior National Scholarships are tenable at secondary schools and district high schools, each for three years, provided that the total tenure of the two scholarships in the case of one person must not exceed five years. In addition to tuition fees, the holder receives £5 per annum if a, junior scholar, or £10 per annum if a senior scholar, with a. further sum of £35 per annum in each case if obliged to live away from home. The figures below indicate the number and the value of scholarships current in December, 1917, and December, 1918, respectively. The number of scholarshipholders is, of course, included in the number of free-place holders shown in the preceding section. Number of scholarship-holders 1917. L9lB.

These are derived from funds provided by private donors at certain schools, by bequest or otherwise. The number of foundation and private scholarships in the last term of 1918 was 1.52. Of the holders sixty-five were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total annual value of the scholarships in

E.—6

cash was £1,851. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and. private scholarships to the value of £473, the value of the Government free places already mentioned not being included in this amount. War Bursaries for Soldiers' Dependants. Regulations which came into force in January, 1918, provided for the award of bursaries to dependants of killed or disabled members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. To qualify for a. war bursary a, child must be eligible for — (a.) Free education at technical classes ; or (/>.) A free place at a secondary school, district high school, or technical high school ; or (c.) A University or educational bursary at a University college. A bursary entitles the holder to an allowance, in addition to free tuition, of £l 10s. or £3 per annum in the case of those qualified under (a), £5 for those under (b), or £10 for those under (c). Lodging-allowance is also payable to bursars who are obliged to live away from home to attend school, at the rate of £15 per annum under (a) and £30 under (b) and (c) ; travelling-allowances varying from £5 to £.10 per annum are also made when travelling is necessary. During 1918 the number of bursaries held at secondary schools was twentyseven, the expenditure thereon being £327 10s. Secondary-school Certificates. Three classes of certificates may be issued to free-place holders taking a secondary course of instruction. The intermediate certificate may be granted to junior-free-place holders who have satisfactorily completed under certain conditions a two-years course at a secondary school, district high school, or technical high school, and who in general are qualified in attainment to receive a senior free place. The lower leaving-certificate may be issued to pupils who have satisfactorily completed a three-years course of secondary instruction, including not less than one year of a senior course in which the standard of work is sufficiently advanced in character to meet the requirements of the examination for a- teacher's certificate of Class I), or of the Matriculation Examination. Likewise the higher leavingcertificate may be granted to pupils having satisfactorily completed at least a fouryears course of secondary instruction and having satisfied the requirements of the lower leaving-certificate, and, in addition, having completed to good advantage and under certain conditions a further secondary course of not less than one year. Staffs of Secondary Schools. (Table K3.) The number of teachers on the staffs of secondary schools, excluding lower departments, during the last three years was as follows :— , 1916 , r- —1917- , , 1918 , Males. Females. Total. Males. Females. Total. Males. Females. Total. Regular staff .. ..175 148 323 174 175 349 175 195 370 Part time .. .. II 45 80 37 43 80 42 43 85 Included in the regular staff of 370 teachers were 34 Principals and 336 assistants. The increase in the number of female assistants during the last few years is noticeable, the number of male assistants having remained stationary. This is largely due to the influence of the war, the places of teachers in boys' schools who went to the front being in many cases temporarily filled by women. The Education Act of 1914 provides that the number of assistants in a secondary school shall not be less than one for every 25 pupils, and, taking all the schools together, the average number of pupils per assistant in 1918 was 24. War conditions have made it impossible in some cases to comply with this provision of the Act, with the result that in individual schools the number ranged from 16 to 33. Including the Principals, the average number of pupils per teacher in all schools was 22, the number ranging in individual schools from 13 to 29,

The head teacher of a district high school generally takes some part in the secondary instruction, and now receives in addition to his ordinary salary the sum of £30 per annum if the average attendance of the secondary department does not •exceed 120, and £50 per annum if it does exceed that number. In 1918 there were in the secondary departments of district high schools 93 special secondary assistants —21 men and 72 women. Leaving out of consideration the head teachers, the average number of pupils per teacher was 24. This comparatively low average is dominated by the influence of the smaller schools of this type ; where the number in the secondary department is large the staff provided falls short, and provision has been recently made for more liberal staffing in such cases. Salaries and Status op Secondary-school Teachers. (Table X.3.) The total annual amount of salaries (including war bonus when paid) of teachers in secondary schools as at the rate payable in December, 1918, was £106 040, of which sum £61,885 was payable to 175 men teachers and £44,155 to 195 women teachers. To the total sum might be added the value of board and residence when provided by the Boards, amounting in 1918 to £2,325, and making a grand total of £108,365, as compared with £99,459 in 1917. Including the value of board and residence the annual rate of salaries paid averages £13-29 per head of the average attendance, the figure ranging in individual schools (excluding Wanganui Collegiate and Christ's College Grammar Schools) from £10-14 to £18-96. By the provisions of the Education Act, 1914, a minimum salary of £150 per annum, and an average salary in any secondary school of £250 for assistant masters, and £175 for assistant mistresses are prescribed. The following figures indicate the average rates prevailing in 1914, 1917, and 1918 : — Average Salaries of Full-time 'I'mackers in Secondary Schools. , 1914.- , , 1917. > , 1918. , M. F. All. M. F.

The worst features in respect of the salaries of secondary school teachers are the great inequalities existing in the salaries paid to teachers of similar qualifications and length of service but employed by different Boards, and. the absence of any fixed scale by which teachers are assured reasonable increments for increasing service and experience. It does not appear to be practicable to apply a Dominion scale of salaries when there is a large number of appointing bodies, each in control of one or two schools which in many cases are not large enough to provide sufficient positions suitable for teachers of long experience and requiring higher salaries. To apply successfully such a scale, it would be necessary to have one appointing body for the Dominion with freedom to transfer teachers from school to school, and with sufficient suitable positions at its command for teachers with all degrees of ability and experience. Pending further consideration of what may fairly be done in this direction, proposals are at present under consideration for an increase in the allowances payable to such schools which would enable the various Boards concerned to make better provision for the salaries of their teachers. In the secondary departments of district high schools salaries are paid in accordance with a general scale. The average salaries (excluding war bonus) paid to secondary assistants in 1917 and 1918 were as follows : — 1917. 1918. Male assistants .. .. .. .. .. 257 263 Female assistants .. .. .. .. .. 200 218 All secondary assistants .. .. .. .. .. 218 228 The total annual, rate of Salaries paid to teachers in secondary departments of district high schools, including the special payments to head teachers, was £23,037, as against £22,957 for 1917. The amount paid as a war bonus is not included.

The following table shows the position, of secondary-school teachers with, regard to University examination status and teachers' certificate qualifications. The percentage (17) of uncertificated teachers continues to show a small increase, owing largely, no doubt, to the influence of the war. Controlling authorities report upon the increasing difficulty of obtaining suitable and qualified teachers, but it is hoped that the position will now show some improvement. Thirty-one per cent, of the assistants hold teachers' certificates in addition to having academic status, but the number having received a training-college course is small.

Status of Secondary Teachers (Regular Staff only), December, 1918.

A scheme of salaries recently introduced in New South Wales provides for assistant masters' salaries rising from £240 to £336 by yearly increments, and for assistant mistresses' salaries ranging from £204 to £252 per annum. Provision is also made for salaries of £360 or £400 per annum (according to the size of school) for masters of subject departments and of £264 to £300 for mistresses of subject departments. At present the salaries of male assistants in New Zealand range from £150 to £526 and of female assistants from £150 to £310.

The revenue derived from the sources (i) to (iv) is the income derived from endowments, and the " net annual income derived from endowments " is the , iverage of this revenue for the three preceding years, less the expenditure upon the endowments and investments, upon buildings approved by the Minister, and less mortgage and other charges. The capitation payment on account of free pupils was fixed for 1918 as an amount per free pupil equal to the deficiency of the net annual income per head of roll number below £13 10s. Six Boards were paid the full rate, the rates paid to the remaining Boards ranging from £2 18s. Id. to £13 9s. 3d. In addition to the capitation payment, where the total annual income from endowments is less than £2 per head an annual grant of £200 is paid, and in all other cases a grant of £.100. Certain conditions as to staffing and salaries of teachers have to be fulfilled before full rates of payment on account of the attendance of free pupils can be claimed. The total income from endowments ranged in the various schools in 1918 from £0-544 to £24-195 per head of the roll number, while the " net annual income "as defined above ranged from nil to £10-596. The difference in the financial position of the various schools is to a large extent adjusted as already indicated by the capitation rates being on a sliding scale, with the result that the total income per free pupil from the two sources —capitation and " net annual income " from endowments —amounted in every case to £13 10s.

The total expenditure on salaries (excluding lower departments) was £99,482, and on incidentals (which include office administration, caretaking, school material, &c), £16,064, as compared with £90,534 and £14,808 respectively for the previous year. The expenditure per head of roll number on salaries amounted to £11-70 and on incidental expenses to £1-89, the latter figure ranging in the various schools from £1-45 to £3-58. The expenditure on buildings, &c, was £29,747, as compared with £30,209 m the previous year. The income from endowments was £2,621 greater than in the previous year, and the Government grants for buildings were £2,830 greater. The payments on account of buildings, sites, &c, differed very little from the amount paid in 1917. The Education Act stipulates that the total expenditure on staff salaries and incidental expenses must not be less than the total amount calculated at the rate of £13 10s. per free pupil, together with the amount of tuition fees received. As the latter sum in 1918 amounted to £107,534, and the expenditure on the items

8.—6

named was £115,546, it will be seen that, taking all the schools together, the conditions of the Act were complied with. A few of the Boards, however, did not carry out this condition —owing in most cases to the impossibility of obtaining the required number of suitable teachers—and in all such cases refunds will be made to the Department. Taking into account the monetary assets and liabilities of the twenty-two Boards of public secondary schools in operation it appears that the total debit balance at the end of 1918 was £37,239, ten Boards having a debit and twelve a credit balance. The debit balances are for the most part due to loans raised or overdrafts incurred on account of the erection of necessary buildings ; one school alone is responsible for a liability of £24,000 on account of recent large purchases of land, and another school for over £15,000 in connection with extensive building operations. The following is a summary of the monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the year : — Monetary Assets £ Liabilities. £ Bank balances .. .. .. 42,055 I Overdrafts and loans .. .. 65,626 Other assets .. .. ... 22,229 Other liabilities •.. .. .. 35,897 £64,284 £101,523 Debit balance .. .. £37,239 It should be pointed out that the Boards' assets in the way of buildings and sites are not included in these figures ; otherwise all Boards would show large credit balances. Further details of the income and expenditure of individual secondary schools will be found in Tables K5-KB. Secondary Education Reserves Revenue. The total amount received by High School Boards from this fund amounted in 1918 to £8,313. Details of the distribution are shown in Table K9. Lower Departments of Secondary Schools. (Table K10.) The Education Act provides that pupils who have not obtained a certificate of competency in the subjects of Standard V or a higher standard of the publicschool syllabus may be admitted to a lower department of a secondary school if they are taught in a separate building or class-room, and if no part of the actual cost of their instruction or of the maintenance of the department is met out of the endowments of the secondary school or out of any moneys granted' by the Government. There were lower departments in fourteen secondary schools during 1918, the total number of pupils in these departments (which increases each year) was 665 —397 boys and 268 girls. The total payments on account of the salaries of teachers and incidental expenses were £4,658, and the total receipts from fees, &c, were £4,626. Taken, as a whole these departments were therefore practically self-supporting ; in two cases still, however, the payments exceeded the receipts, and controlling authorities are warned against the illegality of using secondaryschool funds for the upkeep of such institutions.

2. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, Before 1918 it was customary for the Inspectorjof Secondary Schools to spend the earlier part of the year in visiting the district high schools, which were also seen by the District Inspectors. As the latter are now, by the Education Aot, departmental officers, it was seen that this method of duplicating work and dividing authority had become obsolete. It was therefore decided that the District Inspectors should usually be solely responsible for the inspection, examination, and general oversight of district high schools, and that the Secondary Inspector (or Inspectors) should have much more time than had previously been the case for the inspection and examination of other secondary schools. The Secondary Inspectors were later instructed to visit and report classes in the large technical high schools which had up till that time been seen only by officers of tho Manual and Technical Branch. The system in operation at present in connection with secondary and technical high schools is therefore as follows : In the first half of each year there is a detailed, inspection of the schools of one Island, and a full report of this, inspection is sent to each governing body. Teachers are conferred with individually and collectively ; teaching methods in use are investigated and criticized ; classes are taken for the purpose of testing results or of helping the less experienced teachers, and matters connected with tho organization of the staff and the classification of the pupils are fully discussed with the Principal. All this is carried out in a much fuller way than has previously been possible. During the second half of the year each school is visited for the purpose of awarding senior free places without examination, and of investigating the qualifications of applicants for lower and higher leaving certificates. During this visit the work of individual pupils in certain forms is tested in detail. Under this system each school will be visited thrice every two years and reported upon in alternate years. During the first half of the year Mr. Cress well was the sole Inspector. He visited and reported on all the secondary schools in the South Island. In July Mr. E. J. Parr,-M.A., B.Sc, who had been for a number of years senior science master in the Otago Boys' High School, was appointed as his colleague, and during the latter half of the year all public secondary sohools in the Dominion were visited for the special purposes mentioned above ; the technical high schools at Christchuroh, Dunedin, and Invercargill were reported upon after a visit in conjunction with a technical Inspector, and some of the larger registered private schools with a secondary department were also inspected. During the war the staffs of all boys' schools were seriously depleted. An inordinate number of inexperienced teachers were necessarily engaged ; in some cases no teachers with adequate qualifications could, be secured. AH the boys' schools excepting two had on the staff some women teachers, who, although in many cases well qualified in other respects, could naturally take, no part in many school activities; consequently men teachers had to undertake more than their share in the supervision of games, drill, and other outdoor activities, and, in boarding-schools, of preparation work, &c. In the end the supply of women teachers also proved unequal to the demand, and even the girls' schools were generally understaffed ; classes grew to an abnormal size (the average aimed, at is twentylive, but we saw many of fifty and. some of sixty-five and over). To crown all, partly on account of the progressively liberal policy of the Department in the award of free places, partly on account of an enhanced popular appreciation of the value of education, the number of pupils desiring entrance to secondary schools steadily increased in almost every district, while the excessive cost of building often made it impossible to provide adequate accommodation, and every available nook and corner of most schools had to be utilized —libraries, teachers' common-rooms, assembly halls, shelter-sheds, and armouries being turned into temporary class-rooms. It is indeed surprising that the quality of the work of secondary schools did not deteriorate seriously during the progress of the war. Now that the war is happily ended we may look for a gradual return to normal conditions. However, not all the teachers who answered the Empire's call will return, and of those who do some will certainly not rejoin the ranks of teachers, but will elect to take up more remunerative or more congenial work under the Defence Department or elsewhere. The shortage of weJl-quJified and experienced teachers will apparently bo felt for several years, and it will be some time before the requisite extensions of buildings can be completed. Clearly the next few years will be a period of stock-taking and reconstruction. Organization. At such a time it may not be out of place to mention a few points which appear to us of some importance in the organization of a large secondary school, points which may seem fairly obvious, but which our observation tells us need some stressing in the case of an appreciable number of schools. 1. The Principal should not be a kind of superior clerk. It has been very difficult under war conditions to secure adequate clerical assistance, or to devolve certain routine business upon a reliable subordinate. In some few schools the Principal has been granted assistance in compiling returns and statistics, keeping record-cards, attending to correspondence, &c. ; but in many cases too large a proportion of his time is still devoted to these necessary but mechanical desk duties. 2. Neither should the Principal be essentially a form-master, as in most cases of late he has been compelled to be. Often his intimate knowledge of a special subject and his ripe skill in teaching it lead him to spend an[inordinate time with his Sixth form. No doubt he does excellent work in that restricted sphere, but his main activities should be in a wider field. No manager of a big business, however skilful as salesman or canvasser, would dream of going behind the counter or " on the road " ;

12

13

E.—6

he knows it is for him to attend to larger issues. Similarly, in general, no Principal of a large school should give up more than, say, one-quarter of his time to form-work. 3. There should be periodic conferences with the whole staff or a section thereof for the purpose of general discussion. It is well to interest all teachers—especially the juniors—in the work of the school as a whole, and to let each one understand clearly the part he is expected to play in the complete scheme. In order that these meetings should not result in aimless talk, a special subject of discussion might well be announced for each occasion. 4. The New South Wales regulations prescribe that in each high school there of departments," each " head " having the oversight of a subject or group of allied subjects. This system appears an excellent one, and is, indeed, virtually in use in some of our own schools. Each " head " should submit to the Principal at the commencement of the year a scheme of work throughout the school for each term ; should advise as to text-books, and suggest an apportionment of the work among the subordinate teachers ; should supervise the carrying-out of that work ; should have occasional periods free for the purpose of observing other forms than his own ; and should make a periodical report on the teaching-methods of each teacher of his special subject. 5. The Principal or " head " should frequently take, charge of a junior teacher's olass for the purpose of testing its progress or exhibiting the best teaching methods in the subject. 6. Every teacher should have definite oversight of a group of pupils, and. should be expected to know a good deal about them individually, and to report somewhat fully on their general conduct, diligence, and progress ; to assist him in this he should bo in charge of the group for a substantial part of his time- at least eight or ten periods per week. (This system is already in operation in most, but not in all, schools.) 7. The most skilful teachers should not necessarily spend the greater part of their time with the highest forms, whoso work is naturally the most interesting, but not necessarily the most exacting or tho most important. It is quite likely that a young graduate fresh from the University College may bo occasionally quite an acceptable teacher of an upper form which is doing work approximately of pass-degreo standard, but tho same teacher is very often not at all a good person to take charge of a lower form, where pupils' habits of work are being formed, and where a knowledge of teaching technique is of supreme importance. The Accrediting System. There appears to be a general feeling that the time is ripe for the adoption of some form of accrediting as a means of entrance to the University. It seems probable that the, innovation would to a certain extent be a real benefit to the secondary schools, for an examination syllabus inevitably has a cramping effect on the work of good teachers. This appears to be the case particularly in science, where a broad knowledge of fundamentals is acknowledged, to be a more valuable preparation for university work than the detailed study of a somewhat restricted field. It is also notorious that written examinations do not invariably result in the, selection of the candidates who are best qualified. Again, the system of compensating marks does not always work well in actual practice : the candidate of average qualifications has often a better chance of success than a candidate of more brilliant parts who has a decided weakness in one, subject. The accrediting system would enable the principal of a school, the person who is really able to judge between individual pupils, to have a voice in the decision as to which, of them are ready for University work. We suggest that in the case of perhaps half the candidates for matriculation the written examination is not only unnecessary, but is even to a certain extent harmful. Further, it seems possible that "accrediting" may be used as a lever to encourage pupils to take a full four-years secondary course, instead of attempting to scrape through matriculation at the end of the third year, and may thus discourage the entrant;*' of the immature student upon a university course,, and have a definite effect in raising the general standard of university work. Where the accrediting system has been tried it seems generally to have found favour. " The University of Michigan arranged a system of accrediting the schools that were known to do good work, and of accepting their graduates, without examination. The custom soon became almost universal, and has had a tremendous influence in stimulating young people to seek a higher education." (" The Reorganization of English in Secondary Schools," Bulletin No. 2, 1917, Bureau of Education, Washington.) We, believe, the Board of Studies has this matter under consideration, and we strongly recommend the adoption of a tentative form, of accrediting, which may later be extended widely if found suitable to our secondary system. Conclusion. The last annual report contained a good deal of detailed criticism of the methods generally adopted in the teaching of various subjects. Our inspection reports, copies of which were forwarded to the various governing bodies and to all Principals, embodied in all cases a full exposition of our ideas on teaching methods, and we do not feel it necessary to cover that ground again. In conclusion, we may say that Principals have in all cases shown a gratifying readiness to discuss debatable points with us, and that our attempts to get into touch with individual teachers seem not to have been altogether unsuccessful or unprofitable, in every profession there are some to whom their work is a necessary but unpleasant means of earning a livelihood. There are, however, in the teaching profession a vastly larger number who, in spite of many discouragements, take a lively interest in their work, and give freely of their best in the service of the youth of the Dominion.

3. DISTRICT' HIGH SCHOOLS. -EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS OF IN- , SPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, EDUCATION BOARDS, DIRECTORS OF MANUAL INSTRUCTION, ETC.

AUCKLAND. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. During the year the Board became, persuaded that the district high schools under its jurisdiction were not as efficient as is desirable when the importance of the part they play in the life of the outlying districts is considered. With a view to their amendment the, Board obtained the consent of the Department to permit the Senior Inspector (Mr. E. X, Mulgan) and Inspectors MoLeod and Piteaithly, who were formerly in charge of highly successful high schools, to undertake a thorough and exhaustive inspection of district high schools. These gentlemen reported fully to the Board in terms that made it clear that the Board's impression was not groundless. The Board proposes to take steps during the, coming year to place the high schools on a better footing. It has recommended to the Department that assistants in secondary departments of district high schools should be, better paid, and has suggested that, out of capitation grants now used as part of the general income of tho manual and technical department, bonuses should be paid to secondary assistants by way of additional salary. The Board also intends to effect considerable changes in the personnel of the head teachers of district high schools, utilizing for this purpose the services of teachers who possess the necessary educational equipment to render them effective heads of secondary schools. The curriculum of the secondary department will bo so adapted that while training in agriculture is still recognized as the main necessity of pupils in rural districts, it will be possible for a pupil to obtain the ordinary high-school education that will ultimately equip him, if his parents so desire, for a professional career. With the consent of the Department the three Inspectors mentioned will pay special attention to the district high schools during next year. Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. The full rural course was taken by the secondary pupils of the Aratapu, Coromandel, Pukekohe. Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Cambridge, Mata Mata, Rotorua, Paoroa, Waihi, and Tauranga District High Schools. Each of these schools was visited regularly by an Instructor in Agriculture, who assisted in tho agricultural-science teaching. Visiting instructors will, however, always be handicapped in their efforts to cope with the work, and to enable thoroughly efficient work to bo carried on if is desirable that only trained and skilful teachers be appointed to tho secondary departments of district high schools. TARANAKI. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. The number of pupils on the roll of the secondary department of the Stratford District .High School at the end of the year was —Boys 86, girls 82, total 168 ; at the Hawera District High School- - Boys 12, girls 14, total 20. At the end of the year two boys from the Stratford District High School secured Taranaki Scholarships, a pleasing proof of the continued efficiency of its secondary work. One boy's name, also, was placed second in the credit list of the Dominion for the Public Service Entrance Examination. Greater attention each year is being given to the study of botany, physics, and chemistry, also chemistry as applied to agriculture and dairy science ; and at the recent examination all the pupils from the secondary department included at least one branch of science in this list of subjects. Senior free places were granted to thirty-three pupils of the school- all as the result of the annual public examination. Extract from the Report of the Senior Instructor in Agriculture. The work undertaken at the classes for physical science and agriculture at tho Stratford and Hawera District High Schools was that prescribed for the requirements of the Public Service Entrance and Matriculation Examinations and for Teachers' D ; the course included general work in some parts of horticulture, orchard work, dairy and general farm work, practical and observational. For this the Stratford Model Dairy Farm, although in its infancy, proved to be of very valuable assistance, and already its worth is becoming increasingly evident. At Stratford District High School about 180 pupils took agriculture in some form or other as described above, one class doing higher agricultural chemistry. The boys have carried out very often the daiiy-herd testing for the Stratford Model Farm. Some special work done was with potatoes, and with the planting of some young trees of the eucalyptus. At Hawera District High School a class averaging thirteen did steady work, some prejjaring for examination, but the time given hardly allowed for sufficient outside work ; the pupils, however, deserve credit for tho way they prepared and carried out many indoor experiments.

WANGANUI. Extract from the Report of Inspectors of Schools. The secondary departments in district high schools have languished somewhat during the war. Shortage of farm labour lessened the attendance, and, in addition, much difficulty was experienced by the Board in securing qualified, teachers. When one views the great variety of subjects secondary teachers, particularly in the smaller district high schools, are called upon to teach, it is little wonder teachers are difficult to find. The, teacher with qualifications in science is rare, and we are forced to conclude that the high school and University courses of most young people who aim at teaching as a vocation are still modelled on the academic and literary demands of the old style of secondary school. It is a pity this is so, since the district high school lias, and rightly in our opinion, little need to provide the purely literary type of instruction. Our organization of the district high school secondary work has been outlined on previous occasions and need not be, repeated here. Suffice to say the main aim we have had in view is the bringing of the post-primary work into closer touch with the vocational needs of the pupils. We acknowledge there are still pupils who, through the prejudice or want of knowledge, of parents or teachers, or both, are misfits in the courses of instruction chosen ; but, in tho main, there is little waste of effort. We, are sure still fewer mistakes would be made in placing pupils if these brought with them from their primary teacher a report showing their special aptitudes. Those pupils who have shown little bias this way or that would enter the district high school " general course " —a course planned specially as a kind of trying-out course, during which the secondary teacher would be expected to find out and report to the parents the special aptitudes shown by each pupil. Under such a system teachers would work with increased confidence in the usefulness of their work, and parents would have greater confidence in the value of secondary education. At present the parent, with, his own school-days in mind, views with a good deal of suspicion any sort of secondary education that has not in view the passing of examinations. So far, we do not appear to have much that is definite to substitute, for this aim. More definitely vocational training would, we feel sure, supply this want. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. The rural course was continued at each of the six district high, schools, the average attendance being 155, as compared with 189 in 1917. The work in agriculture in the secondary departments of the district high schools proceeded on the lines followed in previous years. It is felt, however, that too much time is taken up in digging and other preparatory work in order to arrive at what is required in a secondary course. This preparatory work has probably been well taught in the primary school, and if it were possible to relieve the secondary-course boys of it be employing outside labour, much more valuable work could be attempted. Field work, principally in relation to wheat-growing and the treatment of pastures, was undertaken, but the early success which attended, it was marred by the compulsory closing of the schools on account of the influenza epidemic just when the respective fields were ready for an intensive study. The annual stock camp was held at Mr. E. Short's " Parorangi " Farm in March, sixty boys being in attendance from the Wanganui Technical College and Bull's, Feilding, Marton, and Patea District High Schools. Mr. Short, as in previous years, spent a considerable amount of time in demonstrating the leading characteristics of the Romney. Mr. C. Swift undertook the instruction of the boys on Herefords, and Mr. J. Knight placed his stud at the boys' disposal and devoted some time to teaching the characteristics of the Southdown. Mr. C. G. Dernier gave a lesson on the Jersey. The, opportunities the boys had of studying were unique, in that the, animals were the best in the possession of the above gentlemen, and it is doubtful if there is another place in the Dominion where such facilities are available. Owing to the influenza epidemic, the shearing-camp, which is usually held about November, was abandoned. HAWKE'S BAY. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. As in previous years, the first- and second-year pupils of the district high schools took the rural course. The pupils in the first two years covered the programme of work: in science subjects for the Public Service Entrance Examination. In the third and fourth years natural science was taken up to Matriculation standard. The, following table shows the average yearly attendance at the rural course classes and Matriculation science classes : — .. i ~ Matriculation ~, , Rural Course. v • , Grand .lunior.

When compared with the previous year, the roll number and average attendance, at Waipawa show considerable decrease, due to the establishment of a Standard VII at Waipukurau. The attendance of pupils was fairly satisfactory, any irregularity being due to sickness and inclement weather.

Extract from the Report of the Inspectors of Schools. The following table shows the roll number at the end of the year at each of the district high schools :— Boys. Girls. Total. Hastings .. .. .. .. .. .. 24 25 49 Waipawa .. .. .. .. .. .. 23 15 38 Woodville .. .. .. .. .. .. 18 14 32 The work in various subjects at these schools has been very satisfactory, and the, course ranges from beyond Standard VI to the University terms grade. We are satisfied that these schools afford a good preparation for vocational work in the country districts, while at the same time they offer to pupils who desire to enter upon a professional course an opportunity of doing so. Extract from the Report of the Director of Manual and Technical Instruction. The science work in the district high schools at Woodville, Waipawa, and Hastings consists of agriculture, dairy science, and home science. These three subjects form part of the rural course. The rural course includes all pupils in their first and second years. Tho"seience work is continued up to Matriculation standard during the third and fourth years. Owing to the influenza epidemic, the schools closed 'our weeks before the annual vacation] and, in consequence, some of the subjects were incomplete. Waipawa District High School shows a decrease in attendance when compared with the previous year. This was due to the establishment of a Standard VII at Waipukurau, which absorbed about twenty pupils who would, in all probability, have attended Waipawa District High School. From a monetary point of view this meant a loss to the Board of £160 for the year. The scope of the science work taken is up to the Public Service Entrance standard. The work is correlated with the revised matriculation syllabus which comes into force this year. The attendance of pupils was fairly satisfactory—any irregularity being due to mild epidemics and inclement weather. Science apparatus and material are needed at the, different schools, but sufficient is on hand to keep the work going until an order can be sent to England. Some difficulty has been experienced in fitting in time at the various centres owing to the reduced train service, but the, head teachers and secondary assistants have lent valuable assistance. The garden work is not as satisfactory this year as last- - due to the great length of the annual vacation when very little time was devoted to the growing crops. The orchard at Woodville is now thoroughly established and should bear a good crop of fruit next year. WELLINGTON. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. Six of the nine district high schools (250 pupils) undertook the rural course. The reports show that the work ranges from satisfactory to very good. Tim Board trusts that it may be possible to provide at an early date, the means of continuing, under suitable conditions, the work begun in the rural course of the district high school, and to remove, it may be by modification of the syllabus, some grounds of dissatisfaction in regard to the prescribed course. The average attendances for the year 1918 were -Carterton, 37 ; Eketahuna, 31 ; Greytown, 13 ; Hutt, 30 ; Levin, 24 ; Masterton, 101 ; Normal, 12 ; Pahiatua, 29 ; Petone, 68 total, 351. Extract from the Report of the Inspectors of Schools. Six district high schools take the Department's rural course, and three are exempted under clause 6 of the Free Place Regulations. Inspectors' reports which have already been submitted to the Department show that the quality of the work ranges from satisfactory to very good ; but in more than one instance strong local dissatisfaction has been expressed in regard to the compulsory teaching of the rural course. This dissatisfaction is due mainly to two causes viz., the conflict between the rural course and matriculation requirements, and the fact that after two years the, rural course practically comes to a " dead end." Remedies in these matters were, suggested by us years ago : first the establishment of vocational institutions similar to Lincoln Agricultural College, to which pupils from our district high schools could graduate and wfiere they could effectively continue their agricultural training ; and, second, such modification of regulations as would enable the Department's Public Service Entrance and Matriculation courses to be co-ordinated with each other. It must be remembered that Matriculation is the preliminary step to every learned profession ; and where there is a small district high school with only one secondary teacher, parents who do not intend their children to take up rural pursuits are aggrieved that the, children's chances of entrance to such professions as, say, law or accountancy should be jeopardized by the requirements of compulsory training in another vocation'altogether. NELSON. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. There are four district high schools -at Takaka, Motueka, Reefton, and Westport. -The attendance the Westport School increased considerably, the roll number exceeding 100. Difficulty was experienced in staffing the secondary departments generally, and work was carried on under adverse

E.—6

17

conditions, especially at Westport, where the accommodation for classes was quite inadequate. A strong effort is being made to disestablish the district high school at Westport with a view to extending the scope of work and influence of the technical high school. The Council of Education has approved of the proposals, and the Westport Borough Council is seeking parliamentary sanction to transfer one of their reserves to the Board as a site for the technical high school. The Board is anxiously awaiting authority to erect a commodious building for the technical high school, for the requirements of higher education in the Buller district are very urgent. A manual-training school was erected at Takaka during the year, and the Board had hopes of introducing a rural course of instruction in the secondary department, but the inability to secure a qualified teacher for the work necessitated a temporary abandonment of the rural course. The Senior Inspector reports that good work was accomplished in the secondary divisions at Motueka and Reefton. Extract from the Report of the Inspectors of Schools. Westport, Reefton, Motueka, and Takaka continue in operation. The average attendance during the year was : Westport, 90 ; ; " Reefton, 23 ; Takaka, 14. The figures for Westport show a very marked increase over those of 1917. Temporary accommodation had to be provided and a third assistant teacher appointed. The syllabus of work in each case was that followed during the previous year. In general the instruction was of a satisfactory nature. It was intended to adopt the full rural course at Takaka, but owing to inability to obtain a teacher to take the special branches of instruction nothing further was done in this direction. For the coming year, however, satisfactory arrangements have been made to start this course of work, which should prove very suitable for this district. It is proposed to merge the secondary department at Westport into a technical high school. As the roll number has further increased to over 120 there should be a substantial basis of attendance for the intended alteration. CANTERBURY. Extract from the Report of Inspectors of Schools. The returns from district high schools showed 632 "pupils on the roll. In two or three the struggle for existence still goes on, but it is hoped that with the return to peace conditions labour requirements will be adequately met and parents will again give their children opportunities to avail themselves of the valuable training afforded by these institutions. West Christchurch, Waimate, and Temuka have either increased or maintained their roll numbers and continue to do good work. In some of the district high schools dairy science is very successfully treated, but the other portions of the rural course give a less favourable impression. To secure the best educational results these schools should be self-contained so far as the teaching is concerned. The practice now in vogue of employing itinerant instructors for certain subjects is not a success, for with divided responsibility correlation is difficult, the scope of the work unduly limited, and the progress made by the pupils often disappointing. Extracts from Reports of Agriculture Instructors. The district high schools remain the same as last year, but owing to falling attendance some difficulty has occurred in carrying out the practical work of the experimental plots. Lack of sufficient science equipment also proves a great hindrance in tho indoor courses, but good results have in most cases been achieved. % sfc * * * * Although the time available for practical work is much too limited, I am pleased to report that the lines we are working on appeal to the parents as well as to the pupils. In addition to giving the pupils instruction in the principles of agriculture and horticulture, an endeavour is made to keep them abreast of the time as far as the results of experiments in this and other lands are concerned. I have also evidence that the utility and general practical nature of the work done at our high schools is proving a considerable factor in attracting pupils, and furthermore in inducing several to extend (heir agricultural studies. Two pupils are attending Lincoln College, and one has an appointment at Weraroa. OTAGO. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. The average attendances in the secondary departments of these schools were : Normal, 64 ; Balclutha, 61 ; Lawrence, 36 ; Alexandra, 32 ; Port Chalmers, 25 ; Palmerston, 24 ; Tapanui, 24 ; Tokomairiro, 21 ; Mosgiel, 20 : total, 307 —an increase of 14 over the previous year. Extract from the Report of the Inspectors of Schools. The programmes of our district high schools are designed to meet the requirements of the public examinations and, in the first two years of the course, to comply with the regulations laid down for the scientific and domestic courses. In some places there has grown up the idea that the Matriculation Examination should be passed in three years. Whore this is attempted the work really becomes too strenuous, more especially for growing girls. The University Senate has wisely decided that the

standard of the examination is to be determined by the amount of work that may reasonably be covered in a four-years course in a secondary school, and any attempt to cover this course in three years by a pupil of average ability means only pure cramming and too much book-work in most subjects. Moreover, as in such cases the programme has been gone through too hurriedly, those pupils who succeed in matriculating in' three years cannot have put enough thought into their literary work, nor enough practical work into their science to enable them to derive full benefit from University lectures. To reduce what is intended to be a four-years course to three years means also that the class, as a whole, cannot be doing its work as thoroughly and as thoughtfully as is desirable. Another regrettable fact about the secondary departments of our district high schools is that about 50 per cent, of the pupils stay at school for one year only, and consequently get only a smattering of some of the secondary subjects. About 30 per cent, stay on for a second year, and only about 20 per cent, remain for more than two years. Ofjthe whole number, only about 5 per cent, remain for a fourth year. As these schools were, designed mainly to give free secondary education to country children, it is clear that the best advantage is not being taken of the privileges offered. The quality of the instruction in secondary classes varies from satisfactory to very good.
