No. I.—EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE MINISTER OP EDUCATION. PRIMARY EDUCATION. Number of Public Schools. (Tables Al and 83.) The number of public schools open at the end of 1919 was 2,400, as compared with 2,365 in 1918—an increase of 35, being for the most part in the number of veiy small schools. 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.

Increase . . .. .. . . 35 ~ 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 2,400 schools, 1,957 were in Grades 0-IIIa, having average attendances between 1 and 80, and of these 906 had averages ranging from 1 to 20. Of 177,000 children, more than 24,000 are in sole-teacher schools with averages between 1 and 35, and 82,000 children are in schools with an average number of pupils of more than 280. Public-school Buildings. During the year ending 31st March, 1920, 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 £496,153, as compared with £238,817 in 1918-19. 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 £109,981, and at the end of the financial year the commitments totalled £308,088. Thirty-five new schools of varying sizes were erected, forty-seven were enlarged, and two were rebuilt; six residences were also erected and two were enlarged. During the war the Education 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 was adopted to avoid the erection of buildings. These temporary arrangements were more or less unsatisfactory 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, however, it was generally recognized that adequate financial provision should be made, not only for the erection of buildings in connec-

tion with which action had necessarily been deferred as a war measure, but also for the adoption of a general scheme of reconstruction of such of the older schools as, gauged by modern standards, are defective in essential features. Such a comprehensive school-building programme was rendered possible by the passing of the Education Purposes Loans Act, 1919, which empowered the Minister of Finance to borrow during four years moneys to the amount of £3,500,000 for the purpose of the erection, structural alteration, and improvement of educational buildings and for the acquisition of the necessary sites. This with £450,000 additional available from unexpended appropriations on the Public Works Fund authorizes the provision of a total of approximately £4,000,000 for all classes of educational buildings and sites. The large sum thus made available for the erection of educational buildings has resulted in a very great increase in the amounts applied for by the several Education Boards for buildings and sites, while the grants authorized have increased correspondingly. During the last six financial years the amounts authorized for public schools alone were—l9l4-15, £54,895 ; 1915-16, £34,412 ; 1916-17, £36,973 ; 1917-18, £66,750 ; 1918-19, £124,162 ; 1919-20, £319,225. The increased cost in the erection of school buildings is a very serious problem with which the Department is faced, for schools are now costing at least twice as much as they did under pre-war conditions. Education Boards, particularly in the North Island, are moreover experiencing the greatest difficulty in carrying out authorized works. Sometimes no tenders at all are received in response to advertisements, sometimes only one or two are received. Almost invariably the Department is asked to approve additional grants —often for substantial sums, representing a very large percentage of increase on the estimated cost. Prices are still rising, and though little rebuilding or remodelling has so far been undertaken, except in connection with schools where increased accommodation is necessary, the large sums that are being even now spent on school buildings are undoubtedly tending to inflate building-prices, particularly in districts where the school population is rapidly increasing. It is indeed a matter of great concern whether the State is getting the best value for the expenditure at the present time, and it may be temporarily found necessary to impose restrictions with respect to the accommodation that is to be regarded as absolutely essential. As indicated above, a comprehensive scheme of rebuilding and remodelling older schools has not yet been undertaken. Education Boards have been requested to submit schedules of their proposals in the order of their urgency ; but as these have been received by the Department in one or two cases only, grants cannot be allocated with due regard to the necessities of the cases within any district and also to the relative needs of one district as compared with those of another. Roll Number. (Tables Bl and 82.) The number of children in attendance at public schools in 1919, as shown by the mean of the average weekly roll for the four quarters of the year, was 193,655, which exceeds the figure for the previous year by 1-2 per cent. The following figures give in detail the average weekly roll and the roll number at the end of 1919 : —

The percentage increase in the average weekly roll has been declining during recent years, the figures for the last six years being 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. ; 1919, 1-2 per cent. It is in the schools of the South Island that the falling-off in the increase is most marked, the percentage increase in 1919 being only 0-6, while in the North Island (including Marlborough) the figure was 1-6.

number of entrants noticed in 1918 did not recur in 1919, there being 1,000 more children between the ages of five and seven than in the previous year, and 2,800 more children in the preparatory classes. There were fewer children in Si, S2, and S6 than in the previous year, the decrease in numbers to the extent of over 1,000 in S6 pupils being especially regrettable. The table below shows the mean average roll number for every fifth year from 1878 to 1908, and for each of the last ten 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 high schools), and the number of teachers employed in the public schools.

Taken as a percentage of the average weekly roll it was 90-3 —the highest 'figure for the Dominion yet reached, the previous record being 90-1 in the year 1914. There was an improvement in the regularity of attendance in every education district, the best results being obtained in Otago and Wellington, with percentage attendances of 92-1 and 91-5 respectively.

Although, an annual reclassification is the general rule, pupils may be promoted more than once during a year, and in the case of brighter pupils more frequent promotions are encouraged. In the lower classes especially, rapid promotion is often possible.

The amount of retardation, according to the recognized normal classification, has been ascertained in many cases, and is generally found to reach, a high percentage. \n New South Wales it has been ascertained that 42 per cent, of the children in all classes, and 66 per cent, of the pupils of the Sixth Class, are retarded ; in San Francisco 44 per cent. of the children are retarded. The following table shows the position in New Zealand. The normal age for Si pupils at the end of the year is taken as between eight and nine years, and so on through the classes ; this is one year younger than has been regarded as normal in previous reports on the subject, but in view of the fact that a child entering school at the age of five should be eight at the end of a year in Si, it appears justifiable to regard children over nine at that stage and over fourteen at the end of a year in S6 as retarded. The difficulty of arriving at a true norm in this matter is acknowledged; in New South Wales a still lower age is taken as being normal.

In the table the numbers between the heavy horizontal lines represent children of normal classification, those above the upper lines children brighter than the average, and those below the lower lines cases of retardation. An examination of the figures discloses an unsatisfactory position, 50 per cent, of the children being shown as below normal classification. The following figures show the percentage of pupils above and below normal classification in the various classes :—

Owing to the accumulation of their numbers the percentage of retarded children increases in each succeeding class until S4 is reached, the lowering in the percentage in the upper classes being due to the fact that badly retarded children seldom reach them. The above figures include children retarded one year or more, about twofifths of the number being retarded two years or more. It is unnecessary again to mention the causes of retardation, some of which are beyond the control of teachers or educational authorities ; the object of drawing attention to the matter is to show the necessity for entrance to school at an early age and for avoiding any unnecessary delay in promotion, especially in the lower classes. In. comparing the standard ages in New Zealand with those in other countries it should be stated in fairness that where a lower age is taken, as being normal the syllabus of instruction will be found to be less comprehensive than it is in this Dominion. The following are the average ages of the pupils in the several classes at the end of the year's instruction : — 1918. 1919. Yrs. mos. Yrs mos.

In several classes there is a range difference of seven months in the average age for the various districts, any good reason for the variation, not being apparent. As will be observed, there are as yet no signs of a lowering of the ages in the various classes or of the mean of the average age. A certain check may be kept on the length of stay in the preparatory classes by observing the percentage number of children in these classes. In 1919 35-05 per cent, of the whole number of pupils were in the preparatory classes, which is 1-22 per cent, more than in the previous year. The number of children between the ages of five and seven was only 0 - 3 per cent, more of the total roll than in 1918, the inference being that, instead of an improvement taking place in the direction of shortening the time spent in these classes, there has been a slight tendency in the opposite direction. Six per cent, of the pupils in. the preparatory classes were over nine at the end of the year, and 22 per cent, were over eight years of age. Children leaving School before passing S6. In 1914 there were 21,621 pupils in Si who, allowing for various contingencies, should at the end of 1919 have been in S6. The fact that there were only 13,235 pupils in S6 in 1919 demonstrates the regrettable fact that 39 per cent, of the primary-school pupils leave school without reaching the very moderate standard of education represented by S6. This figure is higher than the one ascertained in 1918, the reduced number of pupils in S6, referred to above, accounting for the fact.

Similarly it appears that 16 per cent, of the pupils leave school without doing the work of S5. The law as at present constituted allows children to leave school upon attaining the age of fourteen years irrespective of the class reached, and an amendment in the direction of raising the compulsory school age would unquestionably benefit the leavers here referred to. In 1918 they numbered 4,662, being nearly half as many as left having passed S6. An attempt to assist some of the children leaving school thus ill-prepared for their future work was made by extending the free-place system at technical schools to offer them some training in subjects related to industrial occupations. The attempt has been successful in so far as nearly 1,000 such free places were taken up in 1919 by. pupils who had not passed S6. Examination of Pupils. The usual practice of the Inspectors examining the pupils of S6 for the proficiency and competency certificates was reverted to in 1919 after having been partially suspended in 1918 owing to the influenza epidemic. The examinations resulted in 9,381 certificates of proficiency being awarded, the number representing 68-3 per cent, of the S6 roll, and 2,195 certificates of competency, representing 16 per cent, of the roll. Of the latter certificates 287 were endorsed for merit in science and handwork. The number of proficiency certificates awarded was 5-3 per cent, less than in the previous year, the percentage approximating more closely to that of 1917, when, the examinations were conducted by the Inspectors. There was a wide range of difference in the results of the various education districts, the lowest percentage of proficiency certificates awarded being 56-1 and the highest 76. The range difference is less marked than it was in 1917, but the fact that it occurred in 1918 when the examinations were conducted for the most part by the teachers goes to show that it is not due to the personal equation of the Inspectors, but apparently to an uneven standard of attainment in the various education districts. Registered Primary Private Schools. (Tables Bl and D 2.) The number of primary private schools (excluding private schools for Natives referred to elsewhere) registered under the Education Act, 1914, in. 1919 was 212, compared with 210 in 1918. 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 : — 1918. 1919.

A list of registered private schools is published each year in the New Zealand Gazette. 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 childre.i compelled to live away from home in order to attend school. The following are the rates payable under the various headings:— (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. (b.) 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.) Eigh.tpen.ee 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 impassible 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 1919-20 on the above-named services:—

The total expenditure for the previous year was £29,147. The large increase in the expenditure is due to the higher rates paid in 1919 for the conveyance by road and water and for the boarding-allowance of primary-school pupils. 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. In many cases it is being used as the chief reader. It is issued in three parts, suited to the varying capacities of the pupils in standards I to VI 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 cost price, with the result that over 15,000 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 I, 63,400 ; Part 11, 61,500 ; Part 111, 50,300 ; total, 175,200. 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. Extracts have been taken from the best authors and articles inserted with

a view to developing in the minds of the children an. appreciation of the highest literature, both in prose and verse, an admiration of truth and goodness in daily life, and a high conception of patriotism and national service. 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 1919. 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 86 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 £1 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 m 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. The question of making some further provision in the direction of supplying certain text-books free of cost is at present receiving the attention of the Government. 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 £8,929 (as compared with in 1918-19), showing that the annual expenditure is increasing 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 Govenment 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. Medical Inspection and Physical Education. (See also Appendix F.) The staff of officers engaged in school medical work at the end of 1919 had increased to ten School Medical Officers and fifteen school nurses, and since that date the staff has been still further augmented. The increased staff has made it possible to extend the work in many directions.

The number of schools visited in 1919 was 704, the number including all large primary schools and a certain proportion of small schools in country districts previously unreached by the School Medical Officers. The number of children completely examined was approximately 30,000, and, in addition, a much larger number were partially examined or examined specially for suspected defects. Part of the duty of the school nurse is to " follow up " the report to the parent of the Medical Officer by ascertaining what steps are being taken to obtain the required treatment, and, if necessary, by urging parents to take action. It is found that when circumstances permit and facilities are available a large proportion of the parents notified act on the advice of the School Medical Officer. It goes without saying that the commonest physical defect found among school-children is dental disease. As a result of the school medical-inspection scheme, which includes no provision for treatment, a very marked improvement is reported in the condition of and attention given to the teeth of children in the town schools. In the country districts, however, where there are practically no facilities for obtaining dental treatment, the notifications of the School Medical Officer can be of little avail. A Chief School Dental Officer has now been appointed, who is at present inaugurating a scheme for providing dental treatment for children otherwise unable to obtain it, and when this system is in operation a, great advance will have been made in the work, of maintaining the physical, fitness of our boys and girls. Next to dental disease, defects of the nose, throat, ear, and eye are the most common found among school-children. In the country districts, again, great difficulty is experienced in obtaining the necessary medical treatment, this lack of opportunity hindering the greater effectiveness of the work of the medical inspection. It will be necessary for some solution of the difficulty to be sought in the near future. While further provision for treatment is required, the most important need is the prevention of disease. It may be safely said that the causes of the commonest, and at the same time the most serious, defects in children are known, and that the removal is practicable. Before the children enter upon their school life the seeds of the evil have often already been sown, and supervision of the health of children, during the pre-school period is now urged as being of even greater importance than supervision during school life. A wide extension of such work as is done by the Plunket Society during the period of infancy, supervision during the intervening pre-school period, and a general linking-up of this work with the school medical system are suggested as the steps that should be taken in the attempt to prevent physical defects, often difficult to cure at a later stage. Much, it is submitted, can also be done by educating parents in matters relating to the health of their children. Educative propaganda of this kind has been begun by the preparation of special articles for the Press and by circulars widely distributed among parents by School Medical Officers. A staff of twelve special instructors efficiently carried out the work of instructing pupils and teachers in the various physical exercises which form part of the scheme of physical education. 1,100 schools were visited in 1919 and 85,000 children inspected, while some refresher classes were held for teachers, and the students of the training colleges were given regular instruction. Particular attention was given to special corrective classes for the instruction of children with certain physical defects and deformities, the benefits resulting from these classes and from the general physical training, when properly carried out, being often remarkable. One of the best results of the work of school medical inspection and physical education has been the unprecedented manner in which the importance of the physical welfare of the child has been brought home to teachers, and more especially to parents. Parents frequently meet *the School Medical Officers at the medical examination of their children and gladly accept the advice given, using every endeavour to have remedied the physical defects pointed out to them. The parents are in a position to do infinitely more for the physical welfare of the children than are any Government officers, and one of the chief aims of the system should be, and is, the education and guidance of parents in matters pertaining to health from the birth of the child onwards. The Department's expenditure on school medical, dental, and physical training services in 1919-20 was £14,816.

Manual Instruction. (See also Appendix ('.) The progress of all forms of handwork appears to provide substantial evidence that it is no longer regarded by teachers as a form of recreative amusement, but, having passed the experimental stages, is now generally acknowledged as an essential factor in education. The form, it takes in the schools is conditioned by the preferences and aptitudes of the teachers, and the available supply of material; but whether it be modelling, paper and cardboard work, or such subjects as wood and metal work for boys, or domestic subjects for girls, it is generally recognized that it contributes to the creation of serviceable mental habits and the stimulation of alertness and resourcefulness. Another phase of manual instruction appears to be forcing its way into recognition. A celebrated physician has expressed the fear that the British nation is losing the use of its hands, largely owing to economic and commercial conditions. Whether his conclusions are based on sufficient evidence need not concern us, but the fact remains that for many years the old-time intelligent and skilful hand-worker who took pride in his work has almost ceased to be ; and while on the one hand there is a continual demand for the services of the skilled mechanic, on the other the extension of machinery into almost every phase of human activity points to the possibility of the elimination of the craftsman from the industrial world. The question arises, would this prove an economical and social advantage to the State ? If not, then the trend of thought toward the utilization of manual training as a preparation for vocational training is worthy of serious attention ; and if by some such means the discovery of aptitudes can be hastened, and the children directed toward a mental and manual training that will best fit them for efficient and purposeful living, school life and its potentialities become increasingly important. The provision of material for handwork is becoming an increasingly difficult problem, so much so that at some woodwork centres it has been found almost impossible to secure a supply of suitable timber, and it would appear that the question of a more satisfactory and economical method of securing and distribut'ng material will have to be faced, or the work will be seriously hampered. The correlation of hand-work with other subjects of the syllabus has steadily developed in the last few years, so that at the present time the regulations referring to* the time to be given weekly to hand-work may be fully complied with without, in many cases, allotting specific periods in the time-table to such work. It is considered that the greatest educational benefit is secured when the hand-work is intimately connected in this way with the other subjects of the course, and that the formal treatment of separate hand-work subjects during specific periods in the time-table should not be an unduly prominent feature of the training. The number of schools in which some form of handwork was taken in 1918 stood at 2,135 ; for the year under review facilities were provided and capitation paid in respect of 2,166 schools, an increase of 31 ; and as 1,562 schools provide instruction in some other branches of manual training, it may be said that few children of school-age in the Dominion are unable to share in the advantages of hand-and-eye training. Special subjects of manual training are taught at 114 suitably equipped centres, and are confined to wood and metal work for boys, and cookery, laundry-work, and needlecraft for girls ; and as for the most part all the subjects are taught with a fair degree of skill, the interest of the pupils is sustained with most satisfactory results. In this connection it may not be out of place to remark that at most of the woodwork' centres the development of originality and resourcefulness is not neglected. The limitation of supplies has often led to the utilization of material hitherto regarded as waste, and the selection of a series of exercises, including ih.e construction of useful articles full of interest to the boys, in preference to exercises which on completion have little value except as firewood. The experience gained will, it is hoped, lead to the elimination of the formal model or group of models which is repeated year after year with machine-like precision, and which, instead of quickening initiative and sustaining interest, tends to suppress them, and reduces the educational value of the work to an absolute minimum. Instruction in woodwork or metal-work is provided in connection with 506 schools. Facilities for the instruction of girls in domestic subjects have been provided at 527 schools, an increase of twenty-seven on the number for the previous year, and the increasing demands for cookery-rooms and suitable equipment to enable

E.—2

a full course of work to be given show that the appreciation of the value of the instruction to the home and to the State is not waning. It appears necessary to point out that the equipment of a cookery centre should be complete and substantial, but at the same time the desirability of limiting the equipment to that of a good average home should be kept in view. Elaborate fittings and utensils may not be out of place in a cookery-room, but it is found they often lead to discontent and confusion when girls are called upon to use the necessarily more limited and simpler equipment of the home. There has been a slight decrease in the number of schools at which instruction more or less related to agriculture has been given, the numbers being, for 1918, 1,390, and 1,384 for 1919. It is felt that while valuable work within well-defined limits has been done in the past, and that many children have received an introduction to elementary scientific method, a very elementary knowledge of chemistry, physics, botany, and biology, and a practical acquaintance with gardening, the net results are not altogether commensurate with the energy and enthusiasm that have characterized much of the instruction. The probable causes of this are not far to seek, and it is to be expected, that a clearer understanding of the aims and methods of elementary agriculture in primary schools will follow from the conference held during the year of those specially engaged in directing and teaching this subject in the several school districts. The following table shows that the number of district high schools providing a course of instruction bearing on rural pursuits is forty-seven : —

The science subjects of the rural course are for the most part, as heretofore, taught by visiting instructors, and in all the districts an excellent course of work is carried out. The rural course has not been established sufficiently long to enable conclusive deductions to be made as to its value, but that every boy who had completed a course of two or three years at one of the district high, schools is at the present time engaged in farm-work' appears to indicate that the course has not altogether failed. It was, however, never intended that this course should be a direct preparation for agricultural pursuits ; its limitations and the conditions under which it could be carried out were fully recognized. It is, however, hoped that a closely correlated scheme of ruraf instruction will soon be available, in which the nature-study of the primary schools and. the elementary rural science of district high, technical high, and secondary schools will be vitally linked together, leading to a course of instruction in farm schools as a complete preparation for farm life and work. It is to be regretted that there is a continued, drop in the number of recognized elementary science classes. While the importance of those subjects of primary education that are fundamental and the necessity of devoting as much time as possible to them is acknowledged, it should be found possible in all schools, if facilities are available, to arrange for a course in, say, elementary physical measurements for Standards V and VI. In this connection the words of a wise educationist are worthy of consideration : '' I grant that the tendency of the times is to exaggerate the good which teaching can do, but in trying to teach too much, in most matters, we are neglecting others in respect of which a little sensible teaching would do no harm." The number of approved classes for swimming and life-saving remain as for last year.

Approximate capitation earnings by Education Boards for the year amounted to £52,284, as compared with £41,906 for 1918, the large increase being due to the amended regulation providing for an increase of 20 per cent, on capitation payments for manual instruction ; while grants amounting to £2,948 in aid of buildings and equipment were received. The total receipts of Education Boards in respect of manual instruction amounted to £57,560, and the total payments to £63,094. The manual instruction accounts of all Boards were in credit (when assets and. liabilities were included) at the end of the year, a transfer from the General Fund to meet the expenditure being necessary in two cases. The following table gives some particulars of the payments by Education Boards in respect of certain branches of manual instruction : —

Stapfs op Public Schools. (Table El.) The number of teachers employed in the primary departments of public schools in 1919 was 5,626 (excluding 23 supernumerary teachers) as compared with 5,464 teachers in 1918. Of the total number, 5,000 were adult teachers and 626 pupilteachers. Classified according to sex, there were 1,606 male and 3,394 female adultteachers, and 123 male and 503 female pupil-teachers. The increase in the adultteacher staff has been, for the first time for many years, entirely in the number of men teachers, there being 240 more men teachers than in the previous year and 58 fewer women. The return to civil duty of soldier teachers and the relinquishing of positions temporarily held by women teachers account for the facts revealed by the figures. In addition to the staff of adult teachers and pupil-teachers 436 probationers (62 males and 374 females) were employed, the number being 58 more than the preceding year. The following table shows the number of adult teachers in each grade of school, classified under the headings of sole, head, or assistant teachers.

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 comparatively low average figure is, however, dominated to some extent by the large number of small sole-teacher schools, the average number in the larger schools being considerably in excess of this figure. About half of the total number of pupils attend schools where the average number of pupils per teacher ranges from fortythree to forty-six, and in the largest schools many of the classes are much larger than the average figure indicates. Amended regulations came into force in 1919 providing for additional assistance being employed in the larger schools for every additional forty pupils, instead for every additional fifty as had previously been the case. The necessity of still further reducing the size of classes as opportunity offers is well recognized. With regard to the sex of public-school teachers, the figures below show that the heavy increase in the proportion of female to male teachers which took place during the years of the war has been, arrested. In 1918 there were 253 adult women teachers to every 100 men ; the figure has now fallen to 211 women, corresponding closely with the proportion in 1916. The proportion of male teachers in soleteacher schools shows a large increase and is now greater than it was in 1916. As has been stated in previous reports, women may be regarded as suitable teachers for three-fourths of the school population, so that while a proportion of one male teacher in every four teachers might be regarded as sufficient, the present proportion of nearly one in every three teachers is very satisfactory. Attention must, however, be directed to the entrants to the profession in order to ensure that sufficient men are taking up the work to maintain the requisite proportion of male teachers in the future. It is therefore satisfactory to note in 1919 an increase in the proportion of both male pupil-teachers and male probationers, and an increase of 50 per cent. in the number of men attending the training colleges. The numbers entering the teaching profession at present are approximately in the proportion of one man to five women, but, the average length of service of women teachers being much shorter than that of men, the disparity in these numbers will lessen 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 : — Ratio of adult male to adult female . 1915. 1910. 1917. 1918. 1919. teachers- M - V - M> F ' M> F ' M ' Fl M ' ¥ - Schools with 1 to 20 scholars .. 100:323 100:386 100:544 100:523 100:362 Schools with more than 20 scholars 100 : 176 100 : 194 100 : 213 100 : 227 100 : 193 All schools .. ;. .. 100:193 100:214 100:240 100 253 100:211 Ratio of male pupil-teachers to female pupil-teachers " . . . . . . 100 : 344 100 : 379 100 : 391 100 : 425 100 : 409 Ratio of male to female teachers (in eluding pupil-teachers), all schools . . 100 : 205 100 : 228 100 : 251 100 : 267 100 : 225

Comparisons with the statistics of other countries show that (including junior or student teachers or persons in similar positions) in the United States of America 2 in every 10 teachers are men, in Ontario 2 in every 8, in England 2 in every 8, in Victoria 2 in every 6, in Queensland 2 in every 5, in New South AVales 2 in every 4, while in New Zealand the corresponding figures are 2 in every 6. Organizing Teachers. Regulations were made in 1919 for the appointment of organizing teachers under whose close supervision are placed a number of small schools. The duties of the organizing teacher include assisting the head or sole teachers of these schools in such matters as organization, schemes of work, and methods of teaching ; he should also advise and direct uncertificated teachers with regard to their course of study. He regularly visits the schools placed under his charge, giving actual demonstrations in teaching, and as occasion arises, taking charge of the school for a period not exceeding one week at a time. 11 c may also hold conferences of the teachers to discuss matters relating to the general efficiency of the schools. Twenty-one organizing teachers had been appointed by the various Education Boards at the end of 1919, and although the scheme had not been in operation sufficiently long to report definitely upon its success, Inspectors of Schools are unanimous in the opinion that great promise is already given of increased efficiency in the small schools. The number of organizing teachers has been increased since 1919, and the scheme will in all probability be still further extended. The rate of salary payable to organizing teachers is £340-£3 BO per annum, with £50 per annum house allowance, the total rate of salaries and allowances payable in December, 1919, being £7,250. Salaries ov Primary Public-school Teachers. (Table E4.) The total amount of all salaries and allowances at the rates payable on the 31st December, 1919, was £1,261,714, showing the large increase of £326,534 over the amount for the previous year, and an increase of £522,228 or 71 per cent, over the corresponding figure for the year 1914. The amount is made up as follows:— £ Adult teachers'salaries .. .. .. .. .. .. 1,142,604 Pupil-teachers'salaries and allowances .. .. .. .. 54,275 Probationers'allowances .. .. .. .. .. 34,635 House allowances to head or sole teachers where residence is not provided 30,200 £1,261,714 The above figures do not include the equivalent of house allowance where residences are provided, estimated at £32,560, nor the additional amounts paid to head teachers for the supervision of secondary departments of district high schools. The total cost of salaries and allowances (including the sum saved in house alhnvances) works out at £7 9s. lid. per head of the average attendance, as compared with £5 15s. sd. in 1918. Corresponding figures in other countries are : New South Wales, £6 os. 6d. ; Victoria, £4 lis. 6d. ; South Australia, £3 15s. lOd. ; Ontario, £5 9s. sd. The average salaries of adult teachers (including house allowances and value of residences) for the years 1918 and 1919 are shown in the following table: — Avf.eage Salaries of Primary-school Teachers. 1918. 1919.

The result of the amended scale of salaries which came into force in April, 1919, is immediately apparent from the above figures, which show increases ranging from £47 to £68 ; and if the average safary of all teachers is compared with that paid in 1914 it will be found to have increased by 47 per cent. The following table gives some further information regarding the number of certificated teachers receiving certain salaries : —

As will be observed, the annual salaries of 81 per cent, of certificated male head or sole teachers exceed £300 ; 54 per cent, of the certificated women head or sole teachers (which approximately represents the number in schools above Grade TI), receive salaries exceeding £250. Of the certificated male assistants 63 per cent, receive salaries exceeding £300, while of the certificated woman assistants 65 per cent, receive salaries exceeding £180 per annum. When it is remembered that all certificated teachers who have just emerged from the training colleges or have just entered upon their service as adult teachers are included in the numbers given, it must be admitted that a substantial improvement has taken place in the remuneration of public-school teachers. Corresponding figures to those given in the preceding paragraph for England and Wales for the year 1919 are : Percentage of male head teachers receiving more than £300, 28 ; percentage of female head teachers receiving more than £250, 13 ; percentage of male assistants receiving more than £300, 2 ; percentage of female assistants receiving more than £180, 11. The value of residences (if such, are provided to head teachers) is not included in arriving at these figures. The salaries and allowances of pupil-teachers and probationers were further increased by regulations made in December, 1919, the following being the rates now payable : Probationers' allowance, £65 per annum for the first year ; £75 per annum for the second year. Pupil-teachers' salary—-third grade, £65 ; second grade, £75 ; first grade, £85. A boarding-allowance of £25 per annum or a, travelling-allowance not exceeding £10 per annum is paid when necessary in addition to the salary or allowance. The salaries of organizing teachers, amounting to £7,250, are not included in any of the figures given above. Status or 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 held teachers' certificates in the years named.

Primary Teachers in Public Schools.

The percentage of certificated teachers (72) shows an increase of 1 compared with the previous year, and the percentage holding certificates higher than the D certificate an increase of 2. Taking men and women separately, it appears that 81 per cent, of the men. teachers are certificated and 67 per cent, of the women

teachers, the fact of the great majority of the small country schools being staffed by women teachers accounting for the difference in favour of the men. If schools with an average attendance of twenty and under are excluded, the proportion of certificated teachers is 81 per cent. The following table shows the number of teachers holding the various certificates in 1918 and 1919 : —

Classes of Certificates held by Primary-school Teachers.

Training of Teachers. (Sec also Appendix D.) There are four training colleges situated in the four principal centres of the Dominion, which are open to four classes of students, as follows : Division A, ex-pupil-teachers, ex-probationers, or ex-trainees of recognized kindergarten schools who have obtained the necessary educational qualification ; Division B, other students who have passed Matriculation or obtained a higher leaving-certificate ; Division C, University graduates admitted for one year ; and Division D, teachers entering on short-period studentships. The numbers of students in attendance during the last quarter of 1919 under the various divisions were —Division A, 516, Division B, 51 ; Division C, 4 ; and Division D, 11 : the total being 582, as compared with 500 for the previous year ; 323 students were first-year students and 259 were second-year students. The number of students at each training college during the last quarters of 1918 and 1919 respectively are indicated in the following table : — , 1918. , , 1919. , Men. Women. Total. Men. Women. Total. Auckland ... ... ... 27 111 138 52 123 175 Wellington ... ... ... 19 117 136 26 126 152 Christchurch ... ... ... 18 99 117 21 108 129 Dunedin ... ... ... 21 88 109 27 99 126 Totals ... ... 85 415 500 126 456 582 The number of students continues to increase, and it is satisfactory to note an increase of nearly 50 per cent, in the number of men students in 1919 as compared with the previous year; there are now more male students at the training colleges than there were in 1914. The ordinary course of training is for two years, so that if the training colleges had their full complement of students (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 dtiration, 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 1919 was 271, as compared with 229 in 1918. 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 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 proportion of students attempt degree work in conjunction with their trainingcollege 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 1918, 4 held Class C certificates, 129 Class D certificates, and 87 held partial successes towards teachers' certificates at the time of entry ; and at the end of the course, out of 252 students, 1 held a Class A certificate, 13 Class B certificates, 144 Class C certificates, and 68 Class D certificates, the remaining students having secured sectional passes. Still further increases were made in 1919 in, the allowances payable to trainingcollege students. Division. A and Division C students now receive an, annual allowance of £85, and Division B and Division D students, £65 ; all receive in addition University class fees, and, when necessary, a boarding-allowance of £25 per annum or a travelling-allowance. The amounts paid to Education Boards in 1918-19 and 1919-20 for the training of teachers were as follows : — I. Training colleges— 1918-19. 1919-20.

Apart from the provision for training colleges, a sum of £5,921, as shown above, was expended upon the maintenance of training classes for uncertificated teachers, and upon the conveyance of the teachers to the classes. The purposes for which the grants were made 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. Grading of Teachers. During the year the third revision of the graded list of certificated teachers was duly completed under the amended regulations. Several improvements in the system have been made as the result of experience, and it is considered that the regulations now fairly meet nearly all the requirements of the situation. Though there have been general and theoretical criticisms of the system and its results, it has been found that with few exceptions the criticisms cannot be justified when an appeal is made to the actual facts of the case and a specific instance is called forth. Many criticisms are due to want of careful reading and study of the regulations, remarkable ignorance of the system being often

19

E.—2

displayed even by those who are selected by branches of the New Zealand Education Institute to place before the authorities their criticisms of the system. In a similar way there is much misguided criticism due to the selection by teachers of a few cases out of over four thousand, on which slender basis sweeping assertions are confidentfy made. One exception above referred to was the lack of uniformity in the grading of one educaton district. In all of the other eight districts a reasonable degree of uniformity was secured without difficulty two years ago, and no vaiid criticism of uniformity has ever been made regarding those districts. The standard of grading in the district referred to was, in accordance with regulations, on the judgment of a conference of all senior inspectors, brought into more reasonable conformity with that of the otter eight districts, and though it is claimed that the standard of grading is still slightly higher in that district than elsewhere, the difference is so slight as to be fairly free from criticism. It may now be asserted that the standard of grading throughout the Dominion is reasonably uniform. Further, the Inspectors in the various districts state that under the system now in operation, and made effective in the present graded list, the teachers are really placed, in order of merit as far as their general efficiency as teachers is concerned. It should always be remembered that there must of necessity be distinct limitations to the operation of a Dominion scheme for the grading of teachers. When all the operative factors are considered, as well as the variety of conditions and the number of officers who have some share in the carrying-out of the system, it will be recognized that a degree of success considerably short of perfection must be regarded as satisfactory. The only alternative is the form of selection and appraisement of the efficiency of teachers which obtained before the introduction of the grading system. A careful analysis of the results of this method reveals a condition of affairs that can be described only as chaotic. Teachers with approximately the same salaries and holding similar positions are shown to differ in efficiency to such an extent that they are separated from each other by nearly two-thirds of the fength of the graded list. Scores of teachers of very high efficiency are holding minor and comparatively poorly paid positions while many others, much less efficient, are holding far higher and better-paid positions. An earlier application of the present grading scheme would, in spite of the scheme's necessary limitations, have made it impossible for the present condition of things to arise where in a great number of cases comparative inefficiency triumphs over efficiency. As it is useless to grade teachers except with the object of securing a basis for appointment and promotion, it is clear that, provided a classification is secured that places teachers as nearly as possible in order of merit, the sooner such a classification is made operative the sooner will there be some guarantee that merit in a teacher will meet its due reward. It is claimed that the present graded list provides such a classification. All theoretical criticism and generalizations on imperfect data may be ignored. The only effective criticism would be such as would show that the teachers are not placed in reasonable order of merit, or that better results could be secured by some alternative method. A test of this kind would be accepted by the Department with confidence. On the other hand, if the present system has succeeded in placing the teachers in order of merit, it may be asked whether anything further is required of it. Finances of Education Boards. (See Tables Fl-F3.) The following figures show the receipts and payments of Education Boards for the year 1919 under the various headings : — Receipts.

The receipts exceeded the payments by £19,699, the Boards' cash balances being greater by that amount at the end than at the beginning of 1919. Excluding the amount received at the beginning of the year in trust for rebuilding, the principal saving was effected in the General Fund, and transfers were made to some extent from that fund to extinguish deficits on special accounts. The debit balances on all special accounts having been extinguished in 1918, the transfers necessary in 1919 were not very large. The cost of the Boards' administration was nearly £5,000 greater than in the preceding year, owing principally to increased salaries of the staffs. The cost averaged 4-4s. per head of the average attendance, ranging in the various districts from 3-4s. to 6-ls. By the provisions of the Education Amendment Act, 1919, the capitation payment of ss. was replaced by an annual grant of £750 and a capitation of 3s. 6d. on the average attendance, the new scale of payments coming into operation in November, 1920. The payments on account of the incidental expenses of School Committees also show an increase of £17,190 compared with the previous year, the amount being met by additional allowances also provided under the Amendment Act and regulations made in 1919. The cost of incidental expenses of School Committees works out at 9-ss. per head of the average attendance, ranging from 8-7s. to 11-7s. in the various districts. In the case of both the Manual Instruction Account and the Technical Instruction Account transfers from the General Fund were necessary in several instances to extinguish the deficits. Owing to certain amounts being due at the end of the year for capitation, however, the difference between the income and expenditure was not so great as the figures given, above appear to indicate. Payments to Boards to be held in trust for the purpose of rebuilding worn-out schools were discontinued in 1919, it being considered no longer desirable to continue this practice. The total cash balances of the Boards amounted to £158,812 16s. 2d. at the end of 1919, all Boards having credit balances which ranged from £1,155 12s. 3d. to £89,209 Bs. lid. These balances include large sums paid to the Boards over a long period, to be held in trust for the purpose of rebuilding worn-out schools, and, as has been pointed out before, if these moneys had been strictly kept for the proper purpose many Boards would have had much larger credit balances to their account at the present time. Education Preserves. 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 1919-20 was £90,750. Kindergarten Schools. The Education Act does not provide for the establishment of State kindergarten classes, except in the case of the practising schools attached to the four teachers' training colleges in each of which a kindergarten class of not more than forty pupils may be included. Kindergarten schools under the control of free kindergarten associations are, however, conducted at each of the four chief centres, the total number of children in attendance being approximately 600. The Government pays a subsidy of £l ss. to the pound upon moneys raised for the maintenance of these schools up to a limit of £3 2s. 6d. per head of the average attendance, the total amount paid on this account in the year 1919-20 being £1,945. In addition, a pound-for-pound subsidy is paid on moneys raised for buildings, sites, or initial equipment for the schools ; the sum paid in this manner for the last financial year being £1,367.

Table B2.—School Attendance at Public Schools for 1919.

Table B3.—Average Attendance for the Year 1919 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 lIIa, 23; lIIb, 54; IVa, 55 ; IVb, 205; IVc, 70; Va, 111; Vu, 177 ; Vc, 142 ; Yd, 152 ; Vla, 187 ; Vlb, 143 ; VIIb, 224; Vile, 86; VIIf, 178; VIIg, 107; VIIh, 80; VIIj, 213; total, 2,207.

Tj. Baume, the Hon. 0. J. Garland, Mr. 0. W. Murray, and Dr. J. S. Reekie ; Devonport Urban Area Mr. H. S. W. King and Mr. J. 11. Penning ; North Ward Mr. J. I). McKenzie and Mr. R. C, Smith ; East, Ward Mr. E. C. Banks and Mr. A. Burns ; West Ward -Mr. J. Boddie and Mr. J. S. Bond. 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 669, including 120 part-time schools. During the year the following schools were opened : Haliei, Kaimarama, Puhi Puhi, Tatuanui, Whitehall, Rangiuru, Rangitihi, Huapai, Parahi, Te Paki, Mareretu North, St. Barnabas', Rotongaro, Plaxmill, Ngakonui, Mangatapu, Topuni, Whitiora, Taheke No. 2, Fairfield, St. Albans', Brooklynn, Kaimai No. 2. The following schools were closed : Cape Colville, Fernielea Mangarata, Ptitakc, Te Pahi No. 1. Attendance. —The number of scholars enrolled at the end of last year was 54,787 —viz., boys, 28,571 ; girls, 26,216- being an increasefof 1,137. The yearly average attendance was 49,151, being an increase of 2,947. Teachers. —Towards the end. of the year a large number of teachers who had joined the Expeditionary Forces returned to duty. It therefore became necessary in many cases for the Board to reinstate, them in their former positions, or to find positions for returned soldiers who were not occupying permanent positions when they left for active service. The Board is pleased to state that very few soldier teachers are not now occupying permanent positions. The Board, too, has done its utmost to find employment for the. largo number of relieving and temporary teachers who had taken the place of teachers who were absent on military duties. A return prepared at the end of September s 1 ows the qualifications of teachers as under :— Male. Female. Total. Certificated teachers .. .. .. ..471 744 1,215 Uncertificated teachers .. .. .. ..184 414 598 Pupil teachers . . . . . . . . .... . . ]90 Probationers .. .. .. .. .... .. 119 2,122 It will be observed that the number of uncertificated teachers is still unduly high, but the introduction of the principle of granting a grading increment in salary to certificated teachers and the enlargment of the Training College and its staff should, in a few years have the effect of decreasing the number of teachers who are content to remain without a certificate. Buildings.' During the year thirteen new schools were built and eleven were enlarged Only one residence was built Since the Great War ended the Board has brought under the notice of the Department the needs for school residences, particularly in country areas. The difficulty in obtaining houses for married teachers and accommodation for single teachers in country districts is becoming very acute, and constitutes a problem that must be dealt with on a large scale in the near future. Fortunately Parliament has placed at the disposal of the Education Department during the next few years a sum of three and a half million pounds to meet the urgent requirements of education districts in respect of school-sites, school buildings, residences, and enlargements of schools. The growth of Auckland City and outlying rural areas makes the requirements of this district, considerable. During the year the Advisory Inspector furnished the Board with a comprehensive report dealing with Auckland's requirements, and these are being steadily brought under the notice, of the Department as clear necessity arises. During the year several departmental officers visited Auckland and discussed with the Board's officers the urgent requirements of this district, and arrived at an arrangement which it is hoped will ultimately have the effect of overcoming the overcrowding difficulty that has been very pronounced during the last few years. The Board's Architect has carried on building operations in the face of great difficulties, not the least of which are high prices of materials, shortage of labour and of timber. Most of the works already authorized are, however, now under way. Finance.--The, income for the year ended 31st December, 1919, totalled £520,881 2s. 4d., and the expenditure £518,613 12s. 6d. The amount of fixed deposit on account of the fund for the rebuilding of worn-out schools is now £60,907 13s. lid. General Fund. —By the Education Amendment Act of 1919, the Board's income for general expenditure was seriously diminished. The capitation grant of ss. formerly allowed to Boards was curtailed to 3s. 9d., together with a basic grant of £1,000. The curtailment of its income will have the effect of preventing the Board from ass r sting Committees to the extent it formerly did. The curtailment was in operation only a short time during 1919, so that its full effect has not yet become apparent. When dealing with this matter the Board cannot refrain from drawing attention to the inadequacy of the grant allowed to School Committees under the First Schedule to the Education

i—E. 2 (App. A.)

Amendment Act 1919. The Board knows from actual experience that Committees cannot properly carry out their functions on the allowances granted under the Act. Hitherto the Board has been able to aid School Committees with monetary grants, but with a diminished income it will be unable to do so This the Board regrets. It is satisfied that the Committees have, on the whole, carried out their duties faithfully and well and without wastage. The good that Committees might do m a school district is seriously lessened by inadequacy of income. Training College.- There has been a considerable increase in the number of students of the Auckland Training College. At the present time 211 students are in attendance- viz., 142 women and 69 men Until the new College is erected it will be impossible to increase these numbers. Ihe Board, however, is assured that the work of erecting a training college suitable to the requirements of Auckland will shortly be undertaken. It is probable, too, that before long the establishment of a hostel for students will be authorized. Last year, in order to make provision lor the large number ol students at the College, arrangements were made whereby Richmond Road School was utilized as an associated school to the Normal School. This arrangement proved a very great convenience During the year Mr. H. C. Cousins, who had been Acting Principal or four years, was appointed Principal of'the Training College, and took up his duties at the beginning ol this year. Early this year Mr N T. Lambourne, formerly an Inspector of Schools, was appointed Vice-Principal ol the Training College, and Mr. N. H. S. Law, formerly an Inspector of Schools, was appointed headmaster of the Normal School. Seddou Memorial Technical College.- -During the year 1919 the Minister of Education agreed to the establishment of a separate Board of Managers for the Seddon Memorial technical College, constituted as follows: Three members elected by the Auckland Education Board three by the Auckland City Council, and two by the parents of pupils attending the Technical High School. Ihe election took place in May, and the new Board took over its financial responsibilities from Ist June. Messrs H S W King J D. McKenzie, and G. W. Murray were the appointees ol the Education Board"- Messrs. T. Bloodworth, A. J. Bntrican, and 11. I). Heather of the City Council; and Messrs. A Harris MP and C. R. Munro were elected by the parents ol pupils. The first meeting ol the Board took place on Friday, 30th May, and Mr. A. J. Entrican was elected Chairman ; the Director of the College, Mr. George George, was appointed Secretary and Treasurer. As in previous years, the work of the College' was very much handicapped through want of more accommodation, and the new workshops, which have been under consideration for a very long time now, arc very much needed The number of students in attendance last year in the Technical High School was 587, as against 595 in 1918, whilst the number of students in evening and special technical classes was 1,285 - -an increase, of 108 over the previous year. Conference of Education Boards. Tin- various Education Boards throughout New Zealand met in conference in Wellington in the month of September, and formed an association ol Education Hoards. The Board hopes that the activity of this newly constituted body will materially affect lor good the cause of education. Conference with Members of Parliament.—ln August the Board conferred with members of Parliament of the Auckland District upon matters concerning the welfare and educational advancenienl of their several districts. Fourteen members were present, and they showed marked interest in the various matters brought under their notice. The Board is satisfied that already much good has resulted from the conference, and that even greater good will ensue. District High Schools. -[See 8.-6, Report on Secondary Education]. National Scholarships.- During the year the Board entered a strong protest against National Scholarships being tenable at private schools. The Board is strongly of opinion that where public money is involved scholarships should be held only in public schools. The Board referred the matter to other Boards throughout New Zealand, and has received considerable support in its contention. Conveyance of Children- The Board asked for a revision of the regulations concerning the conveyance of children to school, in order that greater benefits might be conferred upon children who are conveyed to school. The Board held that the present allowance is insufficient, and ought not to be less than Is per head. It also held that the benefit should be extended to children who ride to school along a metalled road. The Board is strongly of opinion that riding to school on horseback is less dangerous to children than conveyance by vehicle. The Board regrets that the Department could not see its way to amend the regulations in the direction indicated. Organizing Teachers, The Department authorized the appointment of organizing teachers in three centres'in the Auckland Education District, and accordingly appointments were made to the Whainvarei centre, to the Te Kuiti centre, and to the Dargaville centre. The Board hopes that the cause of education in rural areas will be much advanced by the appointment ol organizing teachers, and extended to the Department its congratulations upon the venture. Undoubtedly since the inception of public education in New Zealand a great weakness has been the inadequate training and direction of teachers of country schools. The organizing teacher at each centre will now be a source of guidance to which every teacher in a small isolated school in the vicinity may refer. Ihe Board wishes to see a very wide extension of the number of organizing teachers appointed and in the scope of their activities. General— During the year the. Board had under consideration several matters connected with school activities. It set up a committee to deal with the question of the application of tin' cinematograph to educational purposes. This committee made valuable recommendations, which the Board hopes to give effect to during the current year. The question of the establishment of parent-teacher associations received consideration, with the result that School Committees have been specially requested to enlist the sympathies ol the residents of their districts in matters pertaining to the school. The Board endeavoured to impress upon the Department the desirability of assembly halls m all large school), but without result. However, assembly halls are so necessary for the satisfactory carrying-on of large schools under modern conditions that the Board proposes to continue its efforts in this direction.

The Board regrets that it was unable to obtain from the Department an assurance that subsidies will be granted for equipment and material for organized school games. The Board considers that school games now play an important part in the education of our children and make generally for good citizenship, and takes the view that money expended on requisites for school games is money well spent. " Aided " Schools. —The Board was gratified that the adoption by regulation of a course long advocated by the Board was made last year. A teacher of an " aided " school now receives £12 per capita on the average attendance, instead of £9. Pupil-teachers and Probationers. During last year the salaries of pupil-teachers, probationers, and training college students were materially increased, a course that the Board 'hopes will have the effect of offering greater encouragement to induce young people to enter the teaching profession.

TARANAKI. Slit, New Plymouth, 31st March, 1920. I have the honour ou behalf of the Board to present the following report of its proceedings for the year 1919 : Board Members. The constitution of the Board is as follows : Urban District of New Plymouth -Messrs. 11. TI. Grayling and S. G. Smith, M.P. ; Central Ward Messrs. R. Masters (Chairman) and 11. Trimble; North Ward Messrs. F. Hoskin and P. J. H. White; South Ward Messrs. H. J. Eaves and. A. Lees. In consequence of the resignation of Mr. C. A. Wilkinson, M.P., an extraordinary election was held on the 30th September, when Mr. Andrew Lees was duly elected a member of the South Ward, and on the 20th November, 1919, upon the resignation of Mr. T. Buchanan an election was held, when Mr. Prank Hoskin was 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 153, graded as follows : ~ , A Number Grade ' of Schools. 0 .. .. .. .. .. .. ..1-8 6 1 .. . . .. .. . . 9-20 35 II .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 21 35 37 EIIa .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 36 80 53 111b .. .. .. .. .. .. 81-120 9 IVa .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 121-160 3 IVb .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 161-200 2 Va .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 241-280 .1 Vb .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 281-320 2 Vlb .. . . .. .. •• •• •• 451-500 I V 111) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 601 640 1 VIH .. .. .. .. .. •• •• 681-720 2 Vile, .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 721 760 I 1.53 The following new schools were opened during the year —Moeatoa and Vogeltown ; whilst the schools Herangi and Mata Household and the Pitone School were closed. Scholarships. Senior National Scholarships have been awarded to three pupils of the New Plymouth Girls' High School, one pupil of the New Plymouth Boys' High School, three pupils of the Stratford District High School, and one pupil of the Hawera Technical School. Junior National Scholarships were awarded to scholars attending the following schools : Boys' High School, New Plymouth, 1 ; New Plymouth Girls' High School, 1 ; Stratford District High School, 3 ; Manaia, 1 ; West End, 2 ; Motunui, 1 ; Toko, 1. Teaching Staff. The number of teachers, junior teachers, and probationers at the end of the year was 338, as under :— Male. Female. Total. Head teachers .. .. . . .. . . 40 26 66 Sole teachers .. .. .. .. ..12 69 81 Assistants .. .. .. .. ..15 126 141 Junior teachers .. .. .. .. ..1 21 22 Probationers .. .. .. .. .. 3 25 28 71 267 338 The Board respectfully calls the Minister's attention to the disparagement between the number of male and female teachers in the service, and hopes that some better inducement may be devised to encourage young men to enter the teaching profession. Finance. —The credit balance brought forward from 1918 was £3,373 12s. 2d., and the receipts from all sources £106,157 4s. 2d. The total expenditure was £108,367 17s. Id., leaving a credit balance at 31st December of £1,162 19s. 3d. Buildings. —During the. year new schools were erected at Normanby, Okaiawa, Vogeltown, and Arawhata, the three first-named being built in concrete. Additions were carried out to the Fitzroy, Pihama, Finnerty, Kaponga, and Lepperton Schools, alterations and additions to the Okaiawa residence, and an open-air shelter erected at El.th.am. The Normanby and Okaiawa Sohools had to

be rebuilt, the old buildings being completely worn out and obsolete. Considerable difficulty was again experienced during the year in obtaining adequate supplies of material and labour. The Board's workshop has proved a, great convenience in the. matter of turning out the whole of the joinery and furniture, otherwise we should have had considerable delays in obtaining same from outside sources. Teaclters Residences. —Conveniences such as wash-tubs, coppers, and boilers have at last been recognized by the Department, although no actual grants have yet been made. General Repair Work. —Notwithstanding the shortage of labour, a considerable amount, of painting and general repair work was carried out. Manual and Technical Instruction. —During the year technical instruction has been carried out at New Plymouth, Stratford, Hawera, and Eltham. A technical high school has been established at Hawera, and a site provided and grant made for new buildings, which, it is hoped will be ready for occupation next year. Stratford has also a good site provided, and grant made for a new technical high school, which would have been well started but for the difficulty of procuring cement and other building materials. Compulsory evening classes are carried on in the above centres, and are doing fairly good work. Physical Instruction.— Judging by the reports of the physical instructors, the physical work at schools generally is improving. The value of the work is apparently being realized by teachers, who are making greater efforts than ever to achieve, the object aimed at better health, better carriage of the body, and greater alertness of mind and body. Classes for teachers were held during the Latter end of 1919, and, with the exception of those in the Taumarunui district, practically all Taranaki teachers received instruction. Physical education has now become a grading subject; that is to say, the, work of the teacher is now considered in connection with grading-marks. The drawback in this district seems to be that, as no instructors are stationed in Taranaki permanently, instructors' visits to schools are too infrequent, in some eases a school never having had a visit, ft is hoped thai this will be remedied in the near future. Manual. Manual training in woodwork and cookery has been carried out in New Plymouth, Waitara, Inglewood, Stratford, Eltham, and Hawera, and woodwork only at Kaponga, Pihama, Manaia, and Mangatoki. Agricultural Instruction. Very good work has been done throughout the whole district in primary schools, and the way this instruction has reacted on the school grounds and environment is proof of the value, of this subject and the soundness of the instruction given. Agriculture and dairy science has also been carried out in New Plymouth Technical College, Hawera Technical High School, and Stratford District High School. At Stratford the boys carry out observational work in connection with the Model Dairy Farm. Cow-judging has been enthusiastically carried out at New Plymouth and Stratford, and the usual good display of produce from schools was exhibited at the New Plymouth Winter Show. District High Schools. —■ [See E. 6, Report on Secondary Education.] The Bayly Memorial Scholarship for 191!) was won by a pupil of the Stratford District High School. Owing to the war, no competitions for this prize were held during the three preceding years. Instruction Classes for Teachers.-- Saturday classes were conducted at New Plymouth and Stratford for the instruction of teachers in the following subjects : Geometrical, freehand and blackboard drawing, home science, hygiene, and agriculture. A very successful winter school was also arranged, where those teachers who are unable to attend Saturday classes were given continuous instruction for a fortnight in the above, subjects. Teachers who were unable to attend either of the above classes were catered for by special correspondence classes. Attendance. The following is an abstract showing the number of schools, teachers, and pupils attending schools in the district beginning with the year 1879 and every period of ten years and at; the end of 1919 :—

School Committees.- The Board recognizes and appreciates the loyal support received from the Technical and Primary School Committees, and realizes that without this support so marked an advancement in education in this district could not have taken place. The Board is of opinion that the, increased capitation paid to Committees is well merited. Visiting Schools. As previously, members of the Board visited most of the schools in the district, and were pleased to find that in almost all cases considerable improvement in school grounds and surroundings were noticeable. The Board recognizes and records with appreciation the excellent work of its School Committees generally, many having, by their untiring efforts, raised sums of money which have materially helped towards the improvement of their school grounds in some cases improvements being so noticeable as to become a model for others. I have, &c, The lion, the Minister of Education, Wellington. Robert Masters, Chairman.

WANGANUI. Snt. Education Office, Wanganui, .'list March, 1920. I submit herewith a report on the progress of education in this district during the year 1911). Board There was no change in the personnel of the Board during the year. Messrs. F. Pirani (Chairman) and W. Bruce represented the. Wanganui Urban Area, Messrs. L. R. Bryant and P. 0. Freeth the Palmerston North Urban Area, Messrs. A. J. Joblin and J. J. l'ilkington the North Ward, Messrs. E. P. Hemingway and W. A. Collins the, West Ward, and Messrs. A. Eraser and 11. Mclntyre the South Ward. The Board was represented oti other bodies as follows : Wanganui Girls" College Board of Governors, Messrs. F. Pirani, A. Eraser, and W. A. Collins ; Palmerston'North High School Board of Governors, Messrs. T. R. Dodder, P. C. Freeth, and J. A. Nash ; Wanganui Technical College Committee, Messrs, W. Bruce and W. A. Collins. Mr. 11. Mclntyre, was at the end of 191.8 elected a member of the Committee of Advice of the Teachers' Training College, Wellington, as representative of the Wanganui, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, and Nelson Education Districts. He was re-elected at the end of last year. Sohools and Attendance. New schools were opened at Pourangaki and Bell's Junction (Grade 0), Cook's Mill (Grade I). Mangaeturoa and Orangumea (Grade. I) were reopened. The schools at Tc Kumit, Tuapaka, Upper Kawhatau (Grade 0), Momohaki and Tiriraukawa (Grade 1) were closed. At the close of the, year there were open 202 main schools and four side schools, graded as follows : Grade 0, 15 ; Grade I, 65 ; Grade 11, 30 ; Grade lIIa, 51 ; Grade lIIb, 12 ; Grade IVa, 9 ; Grade IVn, 2 ;" Grade IVc, 3 ; Grade Va, 3 ; Grade. Vb, 2 ; Grade Vc, 2 ; Grade Vi), 1 ; Grade Vla, 1 ; Grade Vlb, 1 ; Grade VIIa, 1 ; Grade, Villi, 2 ; Grade VIIo, I ; Grade VlliO, 1. The number of pupils on the roll at the close of the year was 15,445. Of these. 134 were in the secondary departments of the district high schools. The average attendance for the, year was 13,984, which expressed as a. percentage of the weekly roll number was 90-5, against, 89-9 for the, preceding year. As in 1918, the attendance, was affected considerably by epidemics of influenza, &c. The Truant Officer paid 162 visits to schools. 118 informations were laid against parents, and convictions were recorded in the 95 cases proceeded with. During the previous year 304 informations were laid and 266 convictions recorded. Teachers. —The number of adult teachers in the Board's service at the end of the year was 442. Of these, 151 were uncertificated, ten being in charge of Grade 0 schools, sixty-two in Charge of Grade I, and fifteen in charge of Grade 11. Fifty-five were assistants receiving salaries of Grades .1 and 2. The remaining twelve were teachers who were granted leave of absence to proceed on active service, but who had not resumed their school duties at the close, of the year. The number of such teachers was sixteen. The probability is that some of them do not intend to resume teaching. There were ten male and forty-five female pupil-teachers, and three male and nineteen female probationers. The dearth of male applicants for appointment as pupil-teachers and probationers continues. At the beginning of the current year the Board was able to secure, only six males, despite the fact that a substantia] increase in the former rates of remuneration was made. National Scholarships. There were in force during the year thirty Junior and eighteen Senior Scholarships, of a, total annual value of £1,044. On the results of the annual examinations scholarships were awarded to pupils of the following schools: Junior —Lytton Street, I ; Palmerston North High, 2 ; West Mud, I ; Taihape District High School, 4 ; Wanganui Convent, I ; Kawhatau, I. ; Ore Ore, I; Wanganui Marist Brothers, 1; College Street, 1 ; Wanganui Technical College, 2; Owhango, 1 ; Utuwai, 1. Senior- Palmerston North High, I ; Wanganui Girls' College, 3 ; Feilding District High School, 1 ; Wanganui Collegiate, 1 ; and Wanganui Technical College, 1. It is pleasing to note that of the seventeen Junior Scholarships awarded, four were secured by country-school pupils. Lieutenant Gray Scholarship. —Seventeen candidates competed for this scholarship. A pupil of West End School secured the highest marks, but as he elected to take up a Junior National Scholarship the Gray Scholarship was awarded to the next candidate on the list, a, pupil of Terrace End School. Alexander Scholarships. —A scheme for the award of scholarships from the Alexander Bequest was drawn up. It provides for the establishment of four scholarships with the object, of encouraging promising senior pupils of the Wanganui Technical College to prosecute their studies with a view to becoming teachers of one of the following branches of education : Engineering, agricultural science, domestic science, and commercial subjects. The scholarship-holders, while still students on the roll of the senior classes, will assist for not more than three hours each day in teaching junior classes. The latter work will be comparable, to the work done by probationers in the primary schools, and is not to interfere with the student's prosecution of his own studies. Each scholarship is of the value of £50, and is tenable for one year, with a possible extension to a second year. The awards are made on the recommendations of the Director of the Technical College after consultation with the Senior Inspector. The main object of the scholarships is to induce young people to enter upon a course of training for technical-school teaching. Four scholarships were awarded at the beginning of the current year. Conveyance and Boarding Allowarjces. --During the year conveyance allowance was paid on account of 168 children in attendance at twenty-seven schools, and boarding-allowance on account of fortyeight children in attendance at twenty-three schools. The total amount expended was £601 15s. 6cl. The Board is of the opinion, that the allowances should be available not only for pupils attending the primary schools, but also for those in attendance at public secondary and technical high schools. Voluntary Contributions. —£1,870 15s. 3d. was received by way of voluntary contributions towards the purchase of sites, improvements to buildings and grounds, and for the purchase of apparatus and library books. In addition, £188 6s. 3d. was received in aid of the maintenance of manual and technical classes. I take this opportunity of conveying to contributors the Board's thanks for their generosity. Conferences.— Two members of the Board and the. Secretary attended the Conference of Education Boards held in Wellington in September last. Many important proposals for the improvement of our system of education were discussed, and resolutions dealing therewith submitted for the Minister's consideration. It is satisfactory to know that several of these were favourably received and the suggestions adopted by the Department. In future a, conference is to be held annually. A conference of Education Board architects took place in March of the current year. This Board's architect attended. Such conferences must result in good, and it is hoped that in future an annual conference will be held.

Buildings and Sites. —New schools were erected at Beaconsfield, to replace that destroyed by fire in 1918, and Tunakotekote. A temporary building was erected at Koeke for use pending settlement of the question of site. The Mount Curl building was removed and utilized in the remodelling of the Western Rangitikei School. Two rooms of the old school at Aramobo were moved to the new site. The, site and building erected by the settlers at Upper Retaruke were conveyed to the Board. New latrine, buildings in brick wore provided at College Street. Additions were, made to the schools at Turangarere, Kimbolton, and Gonville. The rebuilding of the Foxton and Queen's Park schools in brick was commenced, A contract was let towards the, end of the, year for a brick building for the infant department of the Campbell Street School. Works in prospect include new schools at Kakariki. Moawhango, Maungaroa Road, Bainesse, Campbell Street Main, College Street (infant department), and additions at Rangiotu, Lytton Street, and Wanganui East. Repairs were effected to forty-five schools, and twenty-six primary schools, one technical school, and thirteen residences were repainted. Sites were obtained for new sohools at Coal Creek and Bainesse. Additional land was purchased for the College Street School, and negotiations are proceeding for the acquisition of a new site at Bluff Road and for additional land for Terrace End, Campbell Street, and Taonui Sohools. No great difficulty was experienced in securing adequate supplies of building-materials, but fix' shortage of labour hampered building operations considerably during the year. Medical Inspection.—An experimental health camp under the supervision of the Medical Inspector of Schools was held at Turakina for two weeks in November last. Fifty-five children suffering from malnutrition, who had been selected during the medical inspection, were taken into camp. The results were very satisfactory indeed, there being no case in which improvement was not shown. Toothbrush drill has been introduced into a number of the, schools. The importance of this matter is recognized and special attention is being paid to it this year. The system of organized lunches, which has been in vogue in some of our schools for a number of years, will be. considerably extended during the current year, and it is hoped that before long it will be included in the organization scheme of every school in the, district. Organizing Teachers.--Under the, regulations gazetted during the year four organizing teachers were appointed in October. Although the system was in operation for only a short time, the reports indicate marked improvement in the work of the schools visited, being a repetition of the results obtained under the system carried out under the Board some years ago, but discontinued when the Inspectors were, taken over by the Department. Manual and Technical Instruction. -The increased capitation for manual and technical classes enabled the Board to grant increases in the salaries of instructors, some of which were long overdue. At Eeilding the purchase of an additional 10 acres for the proposed Technical High School was completed, without cost to the State. Plans are now being prepared for the building and also for a hostel. The matter of a site for a boys' hostel at Wanganui is still unsettled. It is hoped that a suitable site will soon be secured in order that the building may be proceeded with, as the present temporary arrangements for the accommodation of the boys are inadequate. Extensive additions are required at the Wanganui Technical College. The erection of a building at Marton for classes in plumbing, &c., is contemplated. Finance. —After taking assets and liabilities into account the net credit balance at the end of the year was £8,126 16s. lOd. The balance in the General Account was £1,502 10s. 9d., Maintenance and Rebuilding Accounts £4,623 17s. 9d., and the. Manual and Technical Accounts £1,843 19s. I Id. The Rees Bequest and Alexander Bequest Trust Accounts were in credit £1,086 15s. lid. and £2,506 7s. Bd. respectively. General. -The work of teachers has been carried out under considerable difficulty, mainly due to the, crowded schools and prevalence of epidemics, while the percentage of absence through illness has been very large. There, has not been a complaint about any member of the profession during the year, while commendation for good work has been the rule, rather than the, exception. Our staff of itinerant instructors is an efficient one, and the work done in the vocational courses is beyond praise. Proposals have been agreed to which will make for greater efficiency in our agricultural work, and the employment of young teachers, whose technical training has been carried out under the Board, as assistant instructors under a good system is sure to be beneficial to the students and those engaged in the work. The wisdom of employing an efficient itinerant drawing instructor for the primary schools has been amply borne, out by results, and this is very satisfactory to the Board, especially when the fact that the instructor is one of our own. If not out of place, I should like to make a plea for the better control of primary, secondary, and technical education, which can all be better managed by one authority, enabling correlation of the three, divisions to be more complete, exchange of teachers and instructors more general, and immensely increasing the efficiency and economical administration of education from the primary school right up to the University. The tendency to gradually centralize the control in Wellington, which is such a marked feature of the Central Department of late years, if allowed to continue, will be the greatest blow to educational progress the system here has experienced. 1 have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Fred Pirani, Chairman. WELLINGTON. Sir,— Education Board Office, Wellington, 31st March, 1920. In accordance with the requirements of the Education Act, 1914, I beg to submit the following report of the Education Board of the District of Wellington for the year 1919 : — Board. —The Board membership at the beginning of the year was :— Urban areas : (I) Wellington City and Boroughs of Karori, Onslow, and Miramar- Thomas Forsyth (Chairman), R.

Schools and Attendance.-- Nineteen small schools were closed, and eleven were opened or reopened, so that at the end of the year there were in operation 246 schools, a decrease of eight since the end of 1918. The average roll and average attendance numbers for the year were 24,785 and 22,692 respectively, as compared with 24,800 and 22,315 in 1918. The regularity of attendance was distinctly better than in 1918, when the epidemic occurred. In successive years there were in average attendance, the following percentages of the average roll: 1919,91-5; 1918,90-0; 1917,90-6; 1916, 89-2; 1915, 9.1-0. It was found necessary to take proceedings in eighty-eight cases of persistent irregularity. The convictions recorded were forty-two, and the remainder of the cases were withdrawn on condition of future regularity. 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 : —

Males. Females, Total. Certificated .. .. .. .. ..162 345 507 Licensed .. .. .. .. .. ..5 8 .13 Uncertificated .. .. .. .. ..20 113 133 Total adults .. .. .. .. 187 466 653 Junior teachers .. .. .. .. ..13 36 49 Total teaching sta IT .. .. .. ..200 502 702 Probationers . . . . . . . . ..II 48 59 Grand totals .. .. .. ..211 550 761 Including probationers, the staff numbers have increased by twenty-one (males, increase twentyeight ; females, decrease seven). The number of uncertificated teachers includes those who have passed the examination in whole or in part but have not yet been granted the certificate. Thirty-six of the former staff, including eighteen students, have not rejoined since their return from the war, and it was with much difficulty that, by reason of insufficient members, the service was maintained in efficiency. Instruction of Teachers. — Arrangements were made for the following courses of instruction : (1.) Week-end classes for the benefit of teachers studying for the certificate were held at Wellington Training College and at Masterton. In addition, by arrangement with the headmasters in conference with the Inspectors, the, pupil-teachers and probationers of Wellington and suburbs were taught each afternoon in central classes. (2.) The correspondence course was continued in Marlborough. (3.) Highly successful continuous courses embracing the D programme were held in December at Pongaroa (sixteen) and Blenheim (twenty-seven). (4.) A proposal to hold, as in former years, a fortnight's instruction in agriculture and nature-study at Masterton during the spring term holiday was, with reluctance, abandoned on account of the curtailment of the railway service. Training College. In the report of the Principal will be found a full description of the College work for the year. The following are the essential statistics of the institution : (1.) The total number of students was 155 —31 men and 124 women. Seven of the men were, absent on military service. (2.) First-year students, 86 ; second-year students, 69. (3.) Students classified- -Division A, 123 ; B, 24 ; C, 4 ; D, 4. There were also admitted eleven returned soldiers, of whom four were without previous teaching experience. (4.) Districts —Wellington, 62; Hawke's Bay, 22; Taranaki, 15; Canterbury, 2 ; Auckland, 2 ; Wanganui, 43 ; Nelson, 8 ; Otago, 1. The Hostel. —What more convincing evidence of the urgency of need for hostels could be adduced than the above figures furnish ? To their credit be it recorded that three philanthropic institutions the Friends' and the Students' Hostels and the Y.W.C.A. provided accommodation for nearly one, hundred of the young women, but there were still twenty women and all the men who had to find room for themselves. This year the numbers are substantially greater. In a city, to the, State Departments of which hundreds of young people are annually drawn, thus filling up every available place suitable, or less than suitable, the accommodation for the student that is an essential condition of efficiency in study is not to be found. Over a year ago the Board, with the Victoria College Council, presented the facts. The case is unanswerable. There is, moreover, the almost equally urgent case of the junior female assistant. The case is now not less but much more urgent than before, the number of students being since the new year increased, to 186 in all. It is inconceivable that the State will longer neglect a plain duty. The maximum of efficiency certainly cannot be, reached until the question is faced. Report of Inspectors.— In their report the Inspectors give the following general estimate of the efficiency of the schools of the district: Good to very good, 80 schools ; satisfactory to good, 123 schools ; fair to moderate, 34 schools ; inferior, 6 schools. The schools in which the work is recorded as less than satisfactory are, with three exceptions, small aided schools for which it has been impossible to find teachers with even minimum experience. The standard of efficiency of the district as a whole has been well maintained. The Board is convinced that though in detail our system is capable of improvements, to the attainment of which the very best efforts of our educationists should be

directed, the vast majority of the scholars nevertheless receive sound instruction and training m our schools. The Board commends the appointment of organizing teachers as giving promise, of improvement to those who have had slight opportunity of training. Medical and Denial Service.- The extension of the medical, and the establishment of the dental, service are entirely to be approved. Civic Library Scheme.--The Board again commends the wise library policy of the city in relation to schools, and thanks the, librarian and his staff for their efforts. To the fortunate pupils of twentysix schools 70,419 individual loans were made last year. Holidays. —lt was arranged that all educational bodies from the University to the primary schools should, as far as possible, observe the three, term holidays at the same time. Scholarships. —■ There were current at the end of 1919 twenty Senior and forty-five Junior Scholarships. On the 31st December, 1919, four Senior and eight Junior Scholarships expired. On the results of the 1919-20 examinations sixteen Senior and twenty-nine Junior Scholarships were awarded. Manual Instruction. —The numbers under instruction in the following recognized classes were :— Schools. Pupils. Agriculture .. .. .. .. .. ..122 2,059 Home science (79 primary, 9 secondary classes) ~ .. 40 1,791 Woodwork (79 primary, 9 secondary classes) .. ... .. 38 1,707 Handwork .. .. '.. .. .. .. 197 20,744 Swimming and life-saving .. .. .. .. ..16 1,411 In agriculture there was an increase from 120 to 122 schools undertaking a recognized course. Reports on home science, woodwork, and agriculture indicate instruction on sound lines. At many schools creditable gardens were cultivated, even where the course, could not be undertaken. The instructors encourage; seed collection and exchange, and the propagation of hedge and other plants, and well-planned effort to improve the school surroundings. School Surroundings.- -The Board is pleased to note that an increasing number of Committees recognize how important a factor in education is the cultivation of the sense of the beautiful. The Board for the fifth year granted trees to those who required them for the school. For these plans of improvement the advice of the supervisor and his assistants is always available. Last year fifty-five Committees raised locally £2,257 17s. 5d., which, with pound-for-pound subsidy, was spent to benefit their schools. The amounts include £300 for a manual centre at the Hutt, and £400 for a new site at Martin borough. Besides money, gifts of land were, received from generous donors at Featherston, Pukcnui, Castlepoint, and Waterfalls. In relation to the granting of subsidies the Board takes the view that because of the excellent spirit displayed and good results attained the Department should hesitate, before, declining subsidies if the purposes are really beneficial to the school. Buildings. —Throughout the year much and increasing difficulty was experienced, especially in the country, in obtaining material and efficient labour for both maintenance of old and erection of new buildings. Moreover, even when undertaken, the works usually occupied much longer than formerly and cost much more. To add. to the difficulties, four schools were, most unfortunately, destroyed by fire —Deep Creek (two rooms), Pukenui (one room), Te Ore Ore (two rooms), and Martin borough (four rooms). The chief maintenance works carried out include, overhaul of twenty-eight schools, nineteen residences; hot water provided in eight residences; drainage, shelter-sheds, asphalt, and ground improvements at twenty schools. New schools were erected at Masterton West (three rooms), Wantwood (one room), Ronga Valley (one room), Normal, Kelburn (the first part, of the main block). .Additions were erected at Plimmerton (one room), Ohau (one room), Island Bay (one room). Berhampure Infants (three rooms), Lansdowne Infants (three rooms), Waingawa (one room), Khahdallah (one room). In regard to the immediate future, the immediate necessities are (a) New schools or additions at Brooklyn, Miramar South, Clyde, Quay, Petone West, Muritai, Johnsonville, Newlands, Featherston, Manakau, Shannon, Castlepoint, Levin (secondary), Eketahuna, Poroporo (reinstatement of buildings destroyed by fire), (b.) The erection in the crowded and long-occupied areas of the city of new schools to replace old ones. Such are (1) Newtown, with division into two schools ; (2) Mount Cook group, with consolidation ; (3) Te Aro, first block on Terrace Gaol site, (c.) Acquiremenl of new sites and of additions to existing sites in populous and growing areas. The. Board wishes to assure you that it will use every effort to raise the standard of accommodation in the district, the need of increased expenditure for which purpose has recently been recognized in financial provision made by Parliament. The Board is pleased that decision is reached regarding these important institutions (a) The erection of Wellington Technical College on Mount Cook site ; (b) the establishment, on sites acquired since the end of the year, of high schools to serve the needs of the. Wairarapa and the Hutt Valley. Sanitation. —The reports indicate that in some country schools the sanitary service is defective. The Board asks that Committees concerned should endeavour to remove all cause of criticism. The Board is of opinion that in the larger country schools where, there is no system of drainage the State should make provision for septic tanks. You are aware that the building-allowances to Boards do not include, provision for septic tanks, and the assistance under section 159 is not sufficient. Finance. — Receipts and Expenditure : There was on deposit with the Public Trustee, the Bank of New Zealand, and in war-loan certificates on the 31st December, 1919, a total sum of £14,000. Owing to the fact that Government grants due to the Board were not received until after the close of the year, there was on that date, (31st December), a debit balance of £5,080 3s. 7d. on the current account. Outstanding cheques amounted to £524 15s. 3d. The net balance to credit on the 31st December, 1919, was £8,395 Is. 2d. The, receipts for the year amounted to £258,866 2s. lid., and the payments to £261,139 17s. 7d., the excess of payments over receipts having been £2,273 14s. Bd. This sum deducted from the net credit balance on the Ist January, 1919- viz., £10,668 15s. lOd. — leaves the net balance on the 31st December £8,395 Is. 2d., as stated. The War and after. —The Board cannot refrain from here making acknowledgement, with feelings of gratitude, sympathy, and pride, of the greatness of the work accomplished in the war by members of the Education service, and accomplished with a distinction which must henceforth confer a new

dignity on the profession of teacher. Of 120 who undertook military service, 110 left New Zealand, and of these twenty-one were killed in action, seven succumbed to wounds, and two to sickness—a record most eloquent of duty done. At the present time the needs of the country school call for most generous consideration. The outstanding need of the hour is not the erection of buildings, though that is most urgent ; nor is it the, purchase of sites, though this, too, is essential: the supreme need of the hour is the creation of such conditions of service as shall make the profession acceptable above other callings to men and women of the requisite intellectual and moral calibre. The Board is assured that the solution of this most difficult problem will receive your most earnest consideration. I have, &c, The Hon the Minister of Education, Wellington. T. Fob'-vth, Chairman.

HAWKE'S BAY. Sib,— Education Office, Napier, 31st March, 1.920. In accordance with the provisions of the. Education Act, 1914, the Education Board of the District of Hawke's Bay has the honour to submit the following report of its proceedings for the year 1919. Board. There were no changes in the personnel of the. Board during the year, The members and the ward or area represented were as follows : Napier Urban Area Messrs. J. Clark Thomson and G. W. Venables ; Gisborne Urban Area- Messrs. G. T. Wildish and L. T. Burnard ; North Ward -Messrs. J. H. Bull, and W. Oates ; Middle Ward—Messrs. G. F. Roach and G. McKay ; South Ward Messrs. P. G. Grant and R. Soundy. The Board's representation on other educational bodies was as follows: Dannevirke High School Board—Rev. A. Grant and Mr. R. Soundy; Napier High School Board—Messrs. G. F. Roach and K. L. Paterson; Gisborne High School. Board—Mr, L. T. Burnard ; Napier Technical College Board—Messrs. R. L. Paterson, R. M. Chadwick, A. L. Beattie, and S. H. Tuck; Waipawa Technical Classes Association —G. McKay, C. H. Critohley, and H. M. Rathbone. Major G. Crawshaw, who has been Secretary of the Board for the past fourteen years, tendered his resignation, to take effect at the end of the year. The, Board desires to place on record its high appreciation of the valuable service which he has rendered to the Board, and to the cause, of education generally in this district. Number of Schools. -The number of schools in operation at the end of 1918 was 145. During 1919 new schools were opened at Ardleigh, Kaitangata, Marumoko, Ruakituri, Tihiomanono, while schools were, closed, at Clifton, Maharahara West, Makarctu South, Mangatoro, Ngapaeruru, Patangata, Waikari, Waiomoko, Waitio, and Whakarau. leaving 140 in operation at the end of the year. Woodlands Boad was attached as a side school to Woodville District High School, and a new side school was opened at Parkvale and attached to Hastings District High School. Attendance. —The number on the roll at the end of 1919 was 13,957, an increase of 343 during the year. The attendance for the, year averaged 12,417, being 90-7 per cent, of the average, roll (13,690). Teachers.- On the 31st December, 1919, there were in the Board's service 420 teachers, classed as follows :—

Instructors in special subjects employed : Agriculture and dairy science, 2 ; domestic science, 2 ; woodwork, 2. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining suitable teachers for the, more remote country schools. The increased salaries recently provided have brought some little improvement, but frequently the teachers art! unable to obtain suitable accommodation, and are forced to relinquish their appointments. During the, war all the higher positions in the service were filled temporarily, but during 1919 it was decided, as most of the teachers of this district who had returned from active, service were available, to make permanent appointments. In all cases where returned soldiers held positions prior to going on active service, the positions were kept open for them, or others of equal status were provided. The Board has endeavoured to ensure that no teacher should be adversely affected in regard, to position or promotion by his absence on active service. Instruction of Teachers. —Classes for the training of pupil-teachers, probationers, and uncertificated teachers in drawing and elementary experimental science were held at Gisborne, Napier, and Dannevirke. A class in general science was held at Gisborne, one in. vocal music at Dannevirke, and one in agriculture (for teachers' C certificate) at Hastings. Correspondence classes were continued in the subjects of English, arithmetic, mathematics, history, geography, hygiene, methods of teaching, dairy science, and agriculture. Two progress examinations were held during the year, when the papers submitted were of a high order. In addition a summer school was held at Hastings to enable

candidates for teachers' certificates to obtain practical work in science subjects. The numbers in attendance at the various classes wen! as follows : Correspondence classes, 36 ; Saturday training classes (three drawing, three science), 47 ; Gisborne science class, 24 ; Dannevirke vocal music class, 26; Hastings C agriculture class, 10; Hastings summer school, 18. From the results obtained in the various certificate examinations the Board has every reason to feel gratified with the success of the. training classes. Hawke's Bay is included in the district served by the Wellington Training College, and every year pupil-teachers are sent to complete their training. The Board feels, however, that the Training College should extend its influence in the district, and to this mid proposes that Training College extension lectures be given from time to time. District High Schools (See E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] Manual Instruction. —[See Appendix C to E.-2.] Physical Instruction. —The, Inspectors have drawn attention to the fact that the, various changes in the instructional staff have, brought about.a lack of interest in this subject. Some teachers appear to have lost interest, it being reported that no physical instruction has been given in some schools for months. The Board trusts that an instructor will be, located permanently in this district in order that this important branch of school work may be placed on a satisfactory footing. Medical Inspection. —Medical inspection in this district has up to the present been most spasmodic, and the Board feels that in this respect it has just grounds for complaint. No Medical Inspector has been permanently located in the district, and as a result of the hurried visits of Medical Inspectors from other districts it has been impossible, to secure the co-operation of the teachers which the success of the scheme, demands. The Board learns with satisfaction, therefore, that a Medical Officer will be permanently located in Hawke's Bay in 1920. Dr. Clark was temporarily appointed to this district during the, last lew months of. the year, and the, Board desires to express its apprecation of the zeal and enthusiasm with which he carried out his duties. Scholarships. —Scholarships in tenure in 1919 were : Junior National Scholarships, 32 ; Senior National Scholarships, 13 ; Wairoa County Council Scholarships, I : total, 46. Buildings. —The renovation and painting of schools and residences have been proceeded with steadily throughout the year. There has been great difficulty in many instances in proceeding with necessary repairs owing to the shortage of labour and materials. One class-room at Papatawa has been rebuilt, and the teacher's residence at Te Karaka is now being renewed. Only three new works were completed during the year, viz. : Motuhora, new school; Puha, new residence ; Tolaga Bay, addition one room. The cost of building was extremely high. It has been impossible, in some, cases to proceed with new works authorized, owing to no tenders being received. The, new Napier Main School on Colenso Hill is still far from completion. The, infant department was occupied early in 1920, but the main building cannot be completed until 1921. The delay has been due entirely to the shortage of cement. The following new works were in progress at the end of 1919 : Parkvale (Hastings East), new school; Napier West, additions to infant school; Gisborne East, additions; Napier South, additions and new out-offices; Hastings West, additions; Napier Main, new school; Motuhora, additions and alterations to residence ; Tolaga Bay, additions. Finance.— The receipts for the, year totalled £130,218 18s. 9d., and the payments £126,172 Is. 2d. The credit cash balance on all accounts on the, 31st December, 1919, was £10,020 Bs. sd. The principal items amongst the, payments were : — 1918. 1919. £ s. d. £ s. il. Teachers'salaries and allowances .. .. 62,656 I 8 81,140 11 3 Conveyance and board of children .. .. .1,918 3 6 2,606 10 0 Grants to School Committees for incidental purposes .. .. .. .. .. 4,386 0 7 5,505 711 Manual instruction .. .. .. .. 3,369 7 9 3,824 16 5 Maintenance and rent of buildings .. .. 5,493 2 1 6,108 13 5 New buildings, additions, &c. .. .. .. 10,397 10 2 9,399 11 2 War bonus to teachers .. .. .. 3,144 19 1 2,358 5 0 School Committees. —The Board again 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 one of special difficulty owing to the fact that, while the cost of everything in connection with schools has greatly increased, Committers' incomes were not proportionately raised. The sums raised by way of voluntary contributions have been very considerable, thus showing that the interest of the Committees in the welfare of their schools has in no way diminished. I, have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. G. F. Roach, Chairman.

NELSON. Sib,— Nelson, 30th July, 1920. I have the honour to furnish a, report of the proceedings of the Nelson Education Board for the year 1919. The Board. —The members of the Board are Messrs. W. Lock and E. E, Boyes, representing the Nelson Urban Area ; Messrs. F. W. O. Smith and E. J. Scantlebury, representing the East Ward of the Rural Area ; Messrs. W. C. Baigent and S. B. Canavan, representing the North Ward of the Rural Area ; and Messrs. A. C. Cottrell and W. H. Mclntyre, representing the West Ward of the Rural Area. I regret to record the removal by death of Mr. T. Symes, who was a member for three years. Mr. D. J. Williams, a member for six years, found it necessary to resign early in the year. Their places have been filled by the appointment of Messrs. S. B. Canavan and W. H. Mclntyre. The Chairman (Mr. F. W. O. Smith) continues to represent the Board on the Board of Governors of Nelson Colleges, and is also a member of the Victoria College Council,

X

Schools. —l 32 schools were open at the end of the year, this number including eight side schools, two part-time schools, and four secondary departments of district high schools. It is a matter for regret that the number includes an undue proportion of Grade 0 and Grade I schools. Wherever possible the Board endeavours to arrange for children who live beyond reach of a school to be boarded with relatives or friends in preference to establishing household schools, with the result that the, number of such schools in the district has been reduced during the past two years. A more substantial grant towards the cost of children's board would be the means of further reducing the number of household schools, and would probably effect a saving in finances. District High Schools. [See E.--6, Report on Secondary Education.] Teachers. —There were 143 certificated or licensed teachers and seventy-four uncertificated teachers employed at the end of the year. In addition twenty-three pupil-teachers and eighteen probationers were also employed. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in providing satisfactory staffing for a number of schools, and work in some instances has been carried on under adverse conditions. The steps taken to improve the salaries of teachers during the year should assist in securing the entrance of suitable candidates to the profession. The Board, however, is strongly of opinion that where teachers are asked to take up duties in remote districts they should have special monetary compensation for so doing. Organizing Teachers. —The Board desires heartily to commend the Department for making provision for the appointment of organizing teachers to control the work carried out in small schools. Three organizing teachers have been appointed in this district, and the benefit of their supervision over the schools under their control will bring the work in these schools to a higher level. In recent years a number of teachers who have, taken up work in Grade 0 and Grade I schools have had no previous teaching experience. Scholarships. —At the examinations conducted at the end of the year eleven Junior National Scholarships and four Senior National Scholarships were secured by candidates in the district. The number of awards made cannot be regarded as satisfactory, seeing that seventy-nine candidates entered for the junior and thirty-seven for the senior examinations. The necessity for increasing the, value of these scholarships is apparent. Actually some scholarship-winners, who would require to board, are unable to take advantage of the scholarships owing to the insufficiency of the allowance. Attendance. I—l1 —I regret to record a decrease in the total number of children on the rolls of the public schools. At the end of the year the number was 7,004 ;at the end of 1918 the number was 7,146. The average attendance for the year was 6,390, as against 6,258 for the previous year. Regular attendance has been interfered with by the prevalence of epidemic disease during the year. Buildings. —An adequate programme of improvements and renovations to buildings and grounds under the Board's control has been carried out during the year. All properties in the Takaka and Collingwood Counties have been overhauled and renovated, and this applies also to the majority of school buildings in the Waimea and Buller Counties. The principal new works undertaken during the year were the erection of schools at Stockton, Maliana, and Sherry River, whilst the Will's Road School was shifted to a new site at Harakeke and. enlarged, the Granity Side School was enlarged by the addition of a class-room from the Summeiiea School, the Pokororo School was removed to a new site, and a small school was erected at Mailman's Creek. Further steps were taken during the year to acquire an addition to the school-site at Motueka, and also to acquire the Lutheran Church property adjoining the Girls' School in Nelson. In view of the withdrawal of the grant for rebuilding, the question arises as to how rebuilding and remodelling of schools should bo carried out. There are many evidences of faulty design in our school buildings, and where enlargement is necessary the Board desires to urge that instead of adding to such buildings they should be entirely remodelled and should conform to some standard that should be adopted regarding design of school buildings. I have to express regret that a curtailment of the programme of repairs and maintenance of buildings has had to be, enforced owing to the ever-increasing cost of material and labour. The Board is assured that good work is being carried out in connection with repairs and maintenance, and it is highly desirable that the grant for this work should be increased in conformity with the increased expenditure required. Manual and Technical. —Considerable improvement has been effected in the management of the manual classes and classes for handwork held in public schools. The classes for manual training— i.e., woodwork, ironwork, cookery, dressmaking, agriculture,^.&c. —were conducted in a highly satisfactory manner, and a large number of senior pupils in the district received instruction in one or more of these subjects. Owing to inability to secure an instructor for classes in woodwork, no classes were conducted at Reefton during the year, but with this exception, in spite of difficulties in staffing, the Board is assured that good results were obtained. Ample supplies of material for handwork were made available in spite of the high cost, and generally an increased interest was shown in these branches of instruction. The payment of grants by way of capitation, however, leaves much to be desired, hi a district like Nelson, with a large number of small schools, the capitation earned is not sufficient to enable an adequate scheme of manual instruction to be provided, and the proposal that instructors shall be graded and paid salaries accordingly is welcomed by the Board. Satisfactory work continues to be carried out in the technical schools at Nelson and Westport. At Nelson the chief progress has been made in connection with the classes for engineering, and when all the equipment required is available this branch of instruction should prove an important feature of the work of the school. 'The accommodation at the school is fully taxed, and it will be necessary to consider the advisability of re-erecting the school on a larger area of ground. It is satisfactory to report that arrangements were made during the year to place the Technical School under a Board of Managers on which representatives of the Board, Urban School Committee, Nelson City Council, Waimea County Council, Farmers' Union, and Society of Carpenters and Joiners are represented. The work at the Westport Technical School has been efficiently carried on, and the engineering department, which is a feature of this school's work, continues to be well attended. Other subjects of technical instruction are also catered for. <■ The erection of technical-high-school buildings, for which a grant of £16,000 was made available recently, will materially increase the interest and scope of work which is now being carried on under circumstances which are not free from disadvantages.

Finance.- -The provision made for increased allowances to School Committees and for assisting the general administration fund of the Board has improved the Board's financial position to some, extent. At the beginning of the year there was a debit balance of £46 13s. 4d. ; and at the end of the year there was a credit balance of £1,155 I2s. 3d. The position with regard to the funds for manual and technical instruction has been considerably improved by the acquirement of grants for apparatus and material. In this connection the Board wishes to accord its appreciation of this action of the Superintendent of Technical Education for his assistance in connection with these; grants. The. increases granted by way of allowances to School Committees wen; paid over to the Committees before the end of the year. A more, equitable distribution of the amount allocated to School Committees is a matter which must engage the Board's attention during the year. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. F. W. O. Smith, Chairman

CANTERBURY. Sir, — Christohuroh, Ist June, 1920. 1 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, 19.19.

Armitage, Mr. T. Hughes. At a special meeting of the, Board held on the 3rd September, 1919, Mr. W. A. Banks resigned as Chairman of the Board, and Mr. E. H. Andrews was elected in his place. 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. Arniitage, Mr. Banks, Hon. Mr. Grimmond, and Mr. Opie ; Appointments Mr. Banks (Chairman), Mr. Bignell, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Opie ; Buildings—Mr. Armitage (Chairman), Hon.

(Chairman), Mr. Banks, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Jamieson, and Mr. Peverill. Board's Representatives. At the end of the year 1919 the Board's representatives on the several public bodies were as follows : —High School Boards : Akaroa- Mr. W. K. Virtue, Mr. R. Latter ; Ashburton—Mr. J. Tucker, Mr, W. B. Denshire; Greymouth—Mr. W. R. Kettle; Hokitika—Hon. H. L. Michel; Rangiora- Mr. H. Boyd, Mr. W. A. Banks ; Timaru Mr. C. S. Howard ; Waimate— Mr. W. Lindsay, Mr. G. J. A. Shackleton. Boards of Managers of Technical Classes : Akaroa — Messrs. G. Armstrong, J. S. Dodds, H. Odell; Ashburton —Messrs. G. W. Andrews, R. Galbraith, F. Watt, R. A. Collins; Christohuroh—Messrs. C. H. Opie, G. F. Franklyn, A. Peverill, H. R. Rusbridge, W. Jones, McGregor Wright, W. H. Cooper, W. R. Gahagan ; Fairlie—Mr. T. Foden, Rev. A. B. Standage, Mr. J. R. Lack ; Geraldine—Messrs. M. Campbell, T. Sherratt, T. Hughes (8.A.) ; Kaiapoi -Messrs. R. Wylie, J. 11. Blackwell, S. Jackson ; Pleasant Point Messrs. J. Maze, L. Laurenson, W. B. Oborn ; Temuka—Messrs. G. W. Armitage, G. Thompson, P. Sanders; Timaru Messrs. J. G. Gow (M.A.), G. Sealey, H. A. Innis-Jones ; Waimate-Messrs. E. W. Hassall, W. Geddes, S. I. Fitch. School Buildings. —During the year new schools were erected at Avoca, Chorlton, Culverden, and Pleasant Valley, and additions at Cave, Ouruhia, Sumner, Waikuku, and Wharenui. The largest work was the completion of the first portion of a new school at Sydenham. The Board contemplates the rebuilding of part of the Christohuroh West, Fairlie, Spreydon, Phillipstown, and Richmond Schools, and complete new schools at Cobden, Hilton, Hook, Prebbleton, Kaikoura Suburban, Milford, Rakaia, and Weedon's. These schools will be put in hand when the. Department's approval is obtained and suitable arrangements can be made for the carrying-out of the work. The foundationstone of the new Opawa School has been laid, and the erection of four rooms in brick is being proceeded with by the Board's building staff. As a result of repeated applications to the Department, a main school at Phillipstown has been granted, and the Board expects shortly to be, in a position to commence the erection of an up-to-date school there, taking all the standards. The, Department has agreed to the rebuilding of a number of class-rooms at Christchurch West District High School, and when this is done it will give the secondary classes better accommodation and facilities for work. Throughout the district a large amount of repairs and painting had been done, but this work has been hampered by the difficulty in securing carpenters and painters. The high price of wages and material has prevented the Board from granting any but urgent work, the building grant not having been increased in proportion to the rise in cost of repairs and painting. In the case of a large number of schools (approximately seventy), a sum of £50 or over was expended either on repairs, renovations, or furniture, or on improvements to school grounds. A special grant from the Department has enabled the Board to attend to the requirements of the schools in the Grey district, and the workmen are busy carrying out much-needed renovations. Grants have been made for new schools at Owenga and Te Roto (Chatham Islands), amd workmen were sent over to the islands to erect these buildings. The need of a new training college for teachers is urgently felt, and fresh plans with amended applications for a grant were sent to the Department some months ago. The Board is making every effort to secure more modern accommodation for the training of its teachers, and it is hoped that the Government will soon make the necessary grant. New sites were, obtained at Cobden, South NewBrighton, and Opawa, and additions to sites at Allenton, Burwood, and Wharenui. Supplies. —The Board has made arrangements to obtain supplies of stationery, ink, chalk, drawing, and copy books, &c, for schools, and Committees can now obtain these from the Board at wholesale prices, thus effecting a considerable saving to Committees and pupils. An effort was made last year to secure supplies of coal and firewood for schools. The Board, though unsuccessful in securing coal in bulk, obtained a large quantity of firewood, part of which will be available for this winter.

Finance. —At the end of the year, after providing £2,332 17s. sd. to meet over-expenditure on special accounts, including an accumulated deficit on the, Manual and Technical Accounts, the. Board's General Account showed a credit of £4,408, a sum less than in the previous year by approximately £1,000, which amount is largely accounted for by the Board's purchase of fuel and stationery for schools. After taking into consideration assets in sight and liabilities actually incurred, the Buildings' Maintenance Fund showed a debit balance of £2,163 10s. 4d., against £2,829 18s. 3d. for the previous year, exclusive of the value of the Board's plant, stock, and material at the workshops at Cliristchurch, Timaru, and Greymouth. With, the, value of such assets included, as is only reasonable should be the case, the Buildings Maintenance Account would show a considerable credit., The credit to the Rebuilding Fund, including amounts due from the Government, increased by about £6,400, but an extensive rebuilding programme marked out for the coming year will absorb a large, part, if not all, of the amount available. Schools. —The number of schools open at the end of the year was 383, with a total roll at the end of the December quarter of 35,138, and an average attendance of 31,854. New schools were opened at Avoca, Bcaley, Flea Bay, Hendes' Ferry, Maungatiro, Rakaia Little, and Waiho Gorge, and the schools at Bushside, French Farm, and Riverside were closed. The undermentioned table shows the number of schools at the end of the year of each decade given, and at the end of the years 1917, 1918, and 1919; also the number of children on the rolls, the approximate number in average attendance, and the percentages of attendances : —

Maintenance.— The total expenditure on primary salaries for the year 1919. including £4,135 12s. 3d. house allowances, and £1,585 18s. 3d. for relieving teachers, was £213,461 10s. lid. The salaries paid to teachers in secondary departments amounted to £8,319 13s. 7d. The following table shows the expenditure on salaries and incidentals for each year mentioned :

Teachers' Salaries. —ln November, new regulations regarding teachers' salaries were gazetted. These provide for the payment to teachers of an increment of £10 to £45, varying according to the grading-mark. The allowances to training-college students, pupil-teachers, and probationers were also considerably increased, and the better remuneration offered has already induced many more young people to enter the teaching profession. School Staffs. —There were 987 teachers in the Board's service at the end of 1919. Of these, 382 were head teachers or in sole charge, 483 were assistants, and. 122 were pupil-teachers. 'There were in addition 84 probationers, also 30 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 £4,335 17s. lOd. Conveyance allowance was paid in respect of 1,291 children, and boarding-allowance for fifty children. Scholarships. —The number of candidates for Junior National Scholarships was 406- girls 181, boys 225. Of these, thirty-nine qualified —eleven girls and twenty-eight boys. Two successful candidates had been attending sole-charge schools -viz., Hannaton and Moana ; five had been attending large primary schools, and thirty-two had been attending district high schools and secondary schools. For the Senior Scholarships there were 132 candidates —girls 70, boys 62. Of these, twentyfour qualified— nine girls and fifteen boys. For the, two Gammaek Scholarships competed for in December, 1919, there were twelve candidates. Scholarships have been awarded to a pupil of the, Cliristchurch Girls' High School and one of the Christchurch Boys' High School, subject to the regulations. Committees' Incidental Allowances. —For some time past the allowances to Committees for incidental expenses have been quite inadequate to meet requirements, more especially in view of the rapid increase in the cost of fuel and labour. After repeated applications to the Department for tin increased grant, the Government last session agreed to a new scale of allowances, which, however, while improving the finances of Committees; arc not yet sufficient to meet their reasonable requirements. Irregular Attendance. —The Truant Officer for North and South Canterbury reported that 1,300 ordinary and 246 final notices had been sent to the parents of children, and that Court proceedings had been taken in 101 cases. In addition, the Truant Officer stationed on the West Coast issued a considerable number of notices to parents. Taking all things into consideration, the attendance

throughout the district has been good. The increased cost of living, together with the high wages paid to boys and girls, has unfortunately induced many to leave school earlier than under normal conditions. Manual and Technical Instruction. —These two important branches of education again received due attention during the year. Some form of elementary handwork was taken by about 28,000 pupils. The difficulty of supplying material and apparatus has again proved a serious drawback in the progress of the work, and to obviate this for the future the Board has decided to indent all the material it requires, and make provision for having a good supply always on hand. The interest in advanced handwork was well maintained, and several new centres for woodwork and cookery were opened during the year. Although there has been increased interest in technical and' continuation classes during the year, yet this branch of education does not receive the support it deserves. The reason is not far to seek. Technical Associations are all suffering from lack of funds, and lack of funds means lack of teachers. The increased value of boy-labour is also an important factor against attendance. Teachers' classes have again been conducted at Timaru, Greymouth, and Christehurch. Generally speaking, these have been well attended and the instruction has proved beneficial. A retrospect of the work done since the amalgamation of Boards gives distinct evidence of steady and solid advance ; more classes are carried on all round, better facilities are offered, and there is very much keener interest in the work. Agriculture. —About 240 schools took up the subject of elementary, agriculture, and there is ample evidence to show that some good experimental'work has been done. The competitions in connection with the McFarlane Shield, the Hurdlcy Shield, and the Board's potato competitions were the means of arousing a great deal of enthusiasm and promoting healthy rivalry. The appointment of Mr. Ridley has given a great fillip to the work on the Coast; and the results of the experimental work that is being done there must have a beneficial effect on the economic life of the community. The rural courses at the district high schools were attended by about 214 pupils ; the girls receive an excellent training in housecraft and homekeeping, and the boys are taught agricultural science. General. —Most of the Board's teachers who were on active service have now returned and have been reabsorbed into the Board's employ. The shortage of teachers, however, is still acute. The influenza epidemic has been responsible for the, necessity of employing a considerable number of relieving teachers, and there has consequently been much difficulty in filling all the vacancies, especially in the country districts. Until some satisfactory plan has been devised to provide suitable board and lodgings for teachers in the more isolated localities, the Board will continue to experience the greatest difficulty in securing certificated teachers for these positions. With the return to normal conditions and the better remuneration now offered to pupil-teachers, probationers, and trainingcollege students, it is hoped that in the future the supply of qualified teachers will be more satisfactory. 1 have, &c., The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Ernest H. Andrews, Chairman.

OTAGO. Sir,— Dunedin, 31st March, 1920. I have the honour to submit the following report of the Education Board of the District of Otago for the year 1919 : — Board. —The membership of the Board remained the same as in the previous year, viz. : Urban Area—Messrs. W. R. Brugh, Robert H. S. Todd, James Wallace, and James 11. Wilkinson ; North Ward —Messrs. Donald Borrie and George, Livingstone ; Central Ward —Messrs. James Horn and James Smith ; South Ward—Hon. D. T. Fleming and Mr. Parker McKinlay, M.A. Mr. James Wallace continued to fill the office of Chairman. Thirty-eight meetings of the Board have been held, the average attendance being eight. The following were the Board's representatives on various educational bodies : —Council of the University of Otago —Mr. P. McKinlay, M.A. ; Otago High Schools' Board — Hon. D. T. Fleming and Mr. W. R. Brugh ; Waitaki High Schools Board—Mr. James Mitchell; Boards of Management of Associated (Technical) Classes : Dunedin —Messrs. James Wallace, W. R. 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 end of the year was 253, four less than in the previous year. Seven of these were household schools. Thirteen had an average below 9 ; seventy-five from 9 to 20 ; fifty-nine from 21 to 35 ; fifty-five from 36 to 80 ; twelve from 81 to 120 ; nine from 121 to 160 ; four from 161 to 200 ; seven from 201 to 360 ; eight from 361 to 500 ; and eleven over 500. The average roll, average attendance, and percentage of average attendance wort; 22,230, 20,463, and 92-03 respectively. The roll number shows an increase of 75 for the year, the average attendance an increase of 233, and the percentage of attendance an increase of 0-72. The following table shows for the terminal year of each decade since the institution of the Otago education scheme in 1856, and for the year just closed, the number of schools, teachers, and pupils : —

Ages and Standards. —The totals in the various classes were : Class P, 7,072 (31-9 per cent.) ; Standard I, 3,026 (13-6 per cent.) ; Standard 11, 2,712 (12-2 per cent.) ; Standard 111, 2,745 (124 per cent.) ; Standard IV, 2,668 (12 per cent.) ; Standard V, 2,279 (10-3 per cent.) ; Standard VI, 1,660 (7-5 per cent.) ; Standard VII, exclusive of secondary pupils of district high schools, 30 (0-1 pet cent.). There were on the rolls at the end of the year 11,560 boys and 10,699 girls ; total, 22,259. The percentages were : Boys, 5.1-9 ; girls, 48-1. The proportion of boys to girls remains practically unchanged from year to year. In the secondary classes there were 11 I boys and 157 girls ; total, 268 ; the percentage being 41.-4 boys and 58-6 girls.

During the year the Board made 165 appointments of adult teachers. Sixty pupil-teachers and probationers wore admitted to the service, of whom one had passed the I) certificate examination, one had obtained partial D, twenty-one had passed the Matriculation Examination, six held partial matriculation, one held a lower leaving certificate, and thirty had passed the Intermediate or Public Service Entrance Examination. Finance. —The main items of expenditure are shown below in comparison with the figures for the previous year : —

The war bonus paid to teachers amounted to £5,020 2s. Bd. ; conveyance and board of children amounted to £2,806 17s. 7d. The expenditure on school buildings included : General maintenance, repairs, alterations, small additions and rents, £13,299 lis. 2d.; new buildings, £2,484 lis.; purchase of sites, £1,650 15s. 2d. ; manual and technical purposes, £784 17s. lOd. At the 31st December, 1918, the net balance to credit was £25,978 12s. sd. ; the total receipts for the year amounted to £220,973 13s. 10d., and the total payments to £221,195 16s. lid. The net balance to credit at the 31st December last was £25,756 9s. 4d. 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. —There were from this district 247 competitors for Junior and 133 competitors for Senior Scholarships ; thirty-four juniors (or 13-7 per cent,) and sixteen seniors (or 14 per cent.) were successful in gaining scholarships. Of the 221 Junior Scholarships awarded in the Dominion, Otago candidates gained 15-3 per cent., and of the 121 senior scholarships awarded, Otago candidates gained 13-2 per cent. Of the 130 scholarships current at the end of 1919, ninety-five were juniors and thirty-five were seniors ; thirty-six were held by girls and ninety-four by boys. The principals of the secondary schools they attended reported favourably regarding the conduct, diligence, and progress of all of them. The Board deems it desirable again to record its opinion that holders of Government scholarships should not be permitted to attend private schools during the tenure of their scholarships. Inspection of Schools.- -In the report of the Inspectors of Schools their estimate of the efficiency of the schools is shown as follows : Excellent or very good, 28 per cent. ; good, 40 per cent. ; satisfactory, 27 per cent. ; fair to inferior, 5 per cent. Compared with the, results for the previous year the. figures show a slight decrease in efficiency, but this is reasonably accounted for by the absence of pupils owing to the prevalence of influenza, and also to the great number of changes, especially in the country schools, which took place during the year. The Inspectors note with regret that a large number of children still leave school before passing S6, and also that retardation of pupils in SI, though to some extent diminishing, is still resorted to by teachers to a greater extent than in their opinion is justified. They recommend teachers to make more, use of the school excursion or class walk, and the frequent visiting of public libraries, picture-galleries, and museums by the teacher and his class. Reference is also made by them to the improvement noticeable in the environment of many of the schools by the planting of ornamental trees and shrubs supplied from the Training College garden. They express their belief that staff conferences, having for their object the interchange of ideas between the head teachers and their assistants, are less frequent and more perfunctory than they should be.

Manual and, Technical- Instruction in elementary handwork (paperwork, cardboard, plasticine, modelling, brushwork, &c), was imparted in practically all the sohools in the district. Cookery and woodwork were carried on in ten centres, forty-four schools participating in the instruction. Swimming and life-saving classes for S4 pupils were held at the Dunedin Municipal Baths. Classes for pupils above S3 were held at the Oaniaru Municipal Baths, and also at Alexandra, Coal Creek, and Tapanui. The, average attendances at the special classes were : Cookery, 1,319 ; woodwork, 1,375 ; swimming and life-saving, 1,347. Agricultural Instruction. —Each succeeding year adds to the, number of schools at which elementary agricultural instruction is interwoven with the other subjects of the curriculum, and the total now stands at 205. The work has in many cases been very gratifying in both its educative effect and tangible result. The number of pupils receiving instruction in the subject was 2,638. It is further pleasing to note the increasing number of schools at which the agricultural and nature-study work is finding concrete expression in the beautifying of the school grounds. With the general appreciation of the result of effort in this direction on the most impressionable element in the community, it is confidently anticipated that the work already begun will be extended in all the schools of the district. The Department has also granted funds for the establishment of a third manual training centre in Dunedin (at the Arthur Street School). The expenditure on manual and technical instruction was : Salaries, material, &c, for school classes, £5,126 10s. 4d., and for special classes, £1,394 1.55. Bd. ; buildings, furniture, and fittings, £784 17s lOd. ; total, £7,306 3s. lOd. ; being an increase of £913 3s. lOd. over the previous year. The excess of expenditure over capitation earned and receipts from other sources was £174 3s. 2d. The Board is glad to learn that the Department is now seriously considering the introduction of a general scale of salaries for woodwork, home science, and agricultural instructors employed by Boards, and the making of special appropriations to meet the cost of same, instead of Boards having to finance, these payments as at present out of uncertain capitation revenue. Public-school Certificates. —There were 1,768 candidates from tin; public schools for proficiency certificates. Of these, 1,356, or 77 per cent., were successful, and 172 gained certificates of competency. These results are lower by 3 per cent, than those of the previous year. School Libraries.— -Durng the year fifty-five School Committees received subsidies on local contributions for purchasing approved books for school libraries, and pictures for the adornment of the school-walls. Fifteen book-cases were supplied free by the Board. The total value, of the Board's oontribution in money and book-cases was £162 17s. Bd. The. Board continues to invite School Committees and teachers to participate in its scheme of subsidies for providing suitable reading-matter for the pupils. Free School-books. These were supplied to the following extent: In necessitous cases, £85 10s.; to pupils coming from other eduoation districts where different books were used. £33 Is. 2d. Training College. —There, were, 129 students in the College at the end of 191.9, viz. : Second-year students (14 men and 35 women), total 49 ; first-year students (15 men and 63 women), total 78. Of these, 88 were from Otago, 21 from Southland, 17 from Canterbury, and 1 from the North Island. Bursaries, lodging-allowances, and travelling-expenses paid to students amounted to £11,346 3s. 5d., college fees to £900 7s. 6d. ; total, £12,246 10s. lid. The difficulties encountered by the students from outside Dunedin in procuring suitable lodging-accommodation have emphasized more than ever before the urgent necessity that exists for the immediate provision of an up-to-date, hostel, and the Board cannot refrain from expressing its dissatisfaction concerning the Government's delay in performing its clear duty in this matter. In view of the large increase in the number of students admitted, to the. College for the current year, it has been found necessary to provide additional accommodation of a temporary nature. The number in attendance is now far beyond the capacity of the present building, and an extension on a large scale is a necessity of the immediate future. The Principal in his report pleads for the provision of a third or even a fourth year's course for those students who have proved themselves worthy of it, and also for the establishment in the Dominion of a proper agricultural college at which many of those granted extended bursaries may attend, and from which might be drawn a much-needed supply of trained agricultural instructors. From its experience the Board can testify to the regrettable fact that trained agricultural teachers are practically unobtainable in the, Dominion. The. Principal also points out that but little, advantage is taken by graduates w-ho intend to be secondary or home-science teachers of the provision made for their admission to the Training College, and laments the fact that " such teachers go to their work, which is teaching, prepared in everything except the art of teaching." Truancy and, Irregular Attendance. —The Board's Truant Officer found it necessary to serve, 298 notices on parents and guardians for infringements of the Act; 243 cases were investigated owing to illness and other reasons ; and 35 penalty summonses were issued, convictions being obtained in all cases. The fines and costs for the year amounted to £14 14s. At the end of last year 128 pupils left the city and suburban schools who did not pass S6, forty-nine left who had passed only S4, sixteen who had passed only S3, and eight who had passed only S2. All of these had reached the, exemption age —viz., fourteen years. During the year the matter of the employment before and after school hours of boys under fourteen years on milk-carts, paper runs. &c, has engaged the attention of the Board. From a report submitted by the Truant Officer it appeared that boys attending the city and suburban schools so engaged numbered 365 ; more than half of them had to rise very early in the morning, their wages ranging from 12s. 6d. to Is. per week. For the highest rate of wages quoted some of the, boys worked about thirty-eight hours per week. The Board has no hesitation in stating its firm opinion that in the majority of cases here referred to the children are being defrauded of their educational heritage. The economical difficulties bound up in the question should not deter the Government from facing the problem and endeavouring, by legislative restrictions and the granting of financial aid in approved necessitous cases, to secure the removal of the hindrances which now impede these children's proper participation in the education provided by the State. Physical Instruction- The Department's scheme of physical exercises has formed part of the course of instruction of all schools in the district. The Board notices that the Inspectors of Schools in their report express regret that the school gymnasiums and their equipment are now practically unused owing to the adoption exclusively of " free exercises," and recommend the judicious use of the gymnastic apparatus available at many of the schools.

Uncertificated Teachers. The Board continued with satisfactory results the payment of hall-fees for tuition by correspondence in the cases of all teachers who look approved courses for the 1) certificate, and whose attention was favourably reported upon. School-sites. The intimation that the Department proposes to pursue a, forward course in the matter of providing additional playground areas has given the Board much satisfaction, and it, trusts that this will result in the improvement ol conditions at many of the schools, and that- the future needs will be duly provided lor. The results so far have been encouraging. A line new site, of 3| acres has been acquired for the Caversham School, and it, is proposed to proceed shortly with the erection of the new school thereon. Arrangements have been made with the Otago Harbour Board whereby a, site of 5 acres at Lake Logan will be available, for a, new school to supersede the, present Albany Street School. An area of three-quarters of an acre has been acquired its a, site for a training-college hostel, and extensions of the Anderson's Bay, Benhar, Milburn, and Alexandra sites have been sanctioned. Buildings. Building-work has been carried out during the year under ever-increasing difficulties. Prices are still very high, and certain lines, such as water-tanks, heating-stoves, good locks, and other hardware are almost unprocurable. The supply of durable timber is far from equal to the demand, and the quality of the bricks now being made is much inferior to that of pre-war days, while the price is almost double what it was then. Labour is an outstanding difficulty, and much urgent country work remains undone, owing to the demand for skilled labour being far in excess of the supply. The Board's efforts have been concentrated in an attempt to maintain all buildings by timely repairs and painting, but this work is not so far advanced as was hoped for. In this connection the Boaid would respectfully point out that the money allocated for the maintenance-work must be very largely increased in the future if buildings are to be kept in good order. At present the work is not being overtaken, while the cost is far exceeding the amount of the, grant. Very few new buildings have been completed during the year, Balclutha infant-room with teachers' retiring-room attached being the most important. Boarding for Female Teachers in Country Districts. Hardly a meeting of the Board now passes without complaints being received regarding the difficulty of securing suitable accommodation lor some country teachers, especially female teachers. Tn some cases the teachers have had to be withdrawn for lack of boarding-facilities. In districts where the difficulty is acute the Board is proposing to build on the school ground, or if it is in too isolated a position, on private property, cottages of one or two rooms, on runners, so that, if necessary, they can be moved from one part to another without great expense. The problem is one of some difficulty ; but it must be faced, as young women cannot be sent into country districts without some reasonable assurance that suitable accommodation will be available. Increase in, Teachers' Salaries and Increased Grants to School Committees. —The, action of the Government in providing higher salaries for all grades of teachers and for more liberal grants for School Committees' incidental expenses is heartily approved by the Board. It does not think, however, that the limit in teachers' salaries has yet been reached, and that, in comparison with other sections of the Public Service, the increases are adequate. It hopes that financial inducement for securing for the teaching profession the best material available in the Dominion will be still further increased. There can be no better investment of Government funds. I have, &c, The Hon, the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. Wallace, Chairman.

SOUTHLAND. Sir,— Education Office, Invercargill, 25th March, 1920. In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, 1914, the Education Board of the District of Southland has the honour to submit the following report of the proceedings for the year ended 31st December, 1919. The Board.--The members in office at the beginning of the year were, Messrs. J. C. Thomson (Chairman), ,1. Pindlay, I). Gilchrist, F. W. Gresham, J. Mac Gibbon, A. J. Nichol, P. A. de la Perrelle, and J. D. Trotter. An election was held in July to fill the extraordinary vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Findlay, resulting in the election of Mr. G. F. Johnson of Lumsden. Messrs. .1. 0. Thomson and. G. T. Stevens continue to act as the Board's representatives on the Southland Boys' and Girls' High Schools Board; Messrs. F. W. Gresham, li. E. Niven, W. Riddell, J. C. Thomson, .1. I). Trotter, F. A. Webb, and A. L. Wyllie, M.A., represent the Board on the Southland Technical College Board ; Messrs. D. Gilchrist, H. E. Niven, and A. ,J. Nichol are the Board's representatives on the Gore High School Board, while the Hon. T. A. Mac Gibbon and Mr. J. C. Thomson represent the Board on the Otago University Council and the Training College Committee of Advice respectively. During the, year twelve, ordinary meetings and one special meeting were held, while the Executive Committee met twenty-two times. Schools. —At the end of the preceding year there, were in existence, 191 schools. During the year the schools at Etalvale 11, Cainard, Glen Dhu, Mount Alfred, Mount Aspiring, Titipua, and Upper Shotover were closed, and five first-named being " household " schools, while new schools were opened at Port Craig, Sandhills, Northope, Raymond's Gap (reopened), Lillburn (reopened) and Dunearn (reopened). The, 190 schools in operation in this district at the close of 1919 were graded as follows : Grade 0, 16 ; Grade I, 51 ; Grade 11, 40 ; Grade ITIa, 56 ; Grade lllis, 7 ; Grade IVa, 5 ; Grade IVb, 3 ; Grade IVc, 3 ; Grade Vis, 3 ; Grade Vt>, 1 ; Grade VIA, I ; Grade VHa, 2 ; Grade VIId, 1 ; Grade VIIo, 1. Grade 0 Schools. —The Board notes with pleasure that the Department has increased the capitation allowance to the above, class of school from £9 to £12 per pupil. This increase will be welcomed by the backblocks settlers, who have been called upon to guarantee the salary of the teacher up to £100 per annum. Again, the Board expresses the opinion that instead of establishing

iii—E. 2 (A PP . a.)

XVII

E.—2.

[Appendix A.

household sohools and paying capitation at the rate of £12 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. Demonstration Schools. For years past flic Board has urged the Department to establish at least one demonstration school in this district, but so far the appeal has not received the Department's favourable consideration. However, the Board congratulates the Department on its efforts to meet its request by appointing two organizing teachers for this district. The organizing teachers commenced duty in October, but it is as yet too soon to express an opinion as to whether the plan will be successful. Attendance of Pupils. —On the 31st December, 1919, there were 12,072 children on the rolls of the schools in this district 6,278 boys and 5,794 girls. These figures, as compared with those of the, year preceding, show a decrease ol eight pupils. The average attendance for the year was 10,577, a, record for this district. It way be of interest to note that the average attendance, 10,577, was composed of 5,531 boys and 5,046 girls that is, approximately in the ratio of 52-3 and 47-7 per cent,. for the respective sexes. The Truant Officer in his annual report to the Board states that he had sent out during the year 404 notices to defaulters, issued 101 summonses, and secured 10! convictions, the amount of fines inflicted being £22 Bs. 6d. Teachers. —The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 432, of whom 371 were adults and 61 were pupil-teachers or probationers. The following table will show the distribution of the teaching staff in the, schools under the jurisdiction of the Board : — Male. Female. Total. Head teachers .. .. .. .. .. 57 25 82' Sole teachers .. .. .. .. .. 36 72 108 Assistants .. .. .. .. .. ..2.1 140 161 Total of adult teachers .. .. .. .. 114 237 351 Pupil-teachers .. .. .. .. ..3 30 33 Probationers .. . . .. .. .. 3 25 28 Teachers of needlework .. . . .. .... 13 13 Manual and technical .. .. .. ..3 4 7 1919 totals .. .. .. .. 123 309 432 1918 totals .. .. .. .. 106 326 432 Of the 351 adult primary-school teachers in the service of flic Board, 226 held certificates, 14 held licenses to teach, while 101 were uncertificated. At the end of 1918 there were in the service of the Board 344 adult primary-school teachers, of whom 214 were certificated, while the number of uncertificated teachers was 119. The percentage of fully certificated teachers was 67-2 for 1919 as compared with 62-2 for 1918 and 61-4 for 1917. These figures show a gratifying increase in the number of certificated teachers, but the number of uncertificated teachers in this district'is still high. The Board notes with satisfaction that several of the uncertificated teachers have made an honest effort to secure classification, but regrets that, a more earnest and general response to the Board's injunctions to secure classification, as expressed by special circulars from time to time, has not been made. There are in the service several teachers who have held responsible positions for a number of years, and who have so far made no effort to improve their educational status. These teachers have been warned that if they fail to improve their literary qualifications at the teachers' examination in 1920 the Board will terminate their engagement,. While the Board deplores the fact that so many of our schools are, staffed by uncertificated teachers it must not be overlooked that several of these teachers are doing fairly satisfactory work. Scholarships. -For the Junior National Scholarship Examination there were 107 candidates, and for the Senior thirty-eight candidates. In the junior division, scholarships were awarded Io pupils of the Southland Girls' High School (four), Winton School (one), Waihopai School (four), North Invercargill School (one), Southland Boys' High School (one). Senior National Scholarships were awarded to pupils of the, Southland Boys' High School (two), and Gore High School (one). The total numbers of scholarships in force at the end of the year wire Junior National, forty-eight ; Senior National, two. The, amount disbursed to scholarship-holders during the year was £818 7s. Bd. Conveyance and Board, of Pupils. The amount disbursed by the Board on the conveyance and board of children was £2,016 17s. 4d., as compared with £1,465 7s. 2d. in 19.18. Conveyance allowance was paid in respect of 443 children, and boarding-allowance in respect of 23 children an increase over last year of 12.) and 10 respectively. The Board is of the opinion that a, further increase in the allowance for conveyance and board would prevent the undue multiplication of small schools for which the services of efficient teachers cannot possibly be secured. Voluntarily Contributions. —ln last year's report the Board was pleased to announce a substantial increase in the. number of School Committees which took advantage, during the year, of the provision made, in the regulations for the payment of subsidies on voluntary contributions. Again this year the Board has to report a further increase. The amount raised during the year was £747, as compared with £345 in 1918. The Board is ol' the opinion that the amount raised will undoubtedly increase as Committees become more fully aware of the provision made by the Government for subsidizing voluntary contributions raised for the purpose of carrying out necessary improvements to school grounds and buildings, supplying of apparatus, and the establishment or enlarging of school libraries. The purposes for which the voluntary contributions and the subsidies thereon were utilized are, as follows: Establishment of school libraries, £20; improvements to school-grounds, £619 ; supply of apparatus and flags, £26 ; supply of fuel, £10 ; erection of rolls of honour, £54 ; and the establishment of sheep-shearing classes, £18. The Board desires to draw the attention of School Committees and teachers throughout the district to (In- provision made for tin- establishment and enlarging of school libraries. By this means it is hoped to increase the study of good and wholesome literature among the young people.

School-books and Stationery. —Although provision is made for the free supply of class-books in necessitous cases, and in cases when- parents who have purchased new books for their children remove to another district, the Board is strongly of the opinion that the purchase of all school material should be made by the Department in bulk from the manufacturers and sold at cost price to Education Boards. Early in 1919 the Department intimated that the Minister of Education was considering the question of the establishment of a central store for the purchase of supplies of school stationery and for distribution of such stationery to schools, but so far no progress seems to have been made in the matter. The Board trusts that the proposal will not be lost sight of. Medical Inspection. —Previous to 1919 the Medical Inspector had charge, of the combined districts of Otago and Southland, with the result that only a few of the, large .schools were, visited. In 1919 a Medical Inspector was appointed for the, district, who, accompanied by the Department's School Nurse, was able to visit all the principal schools, and there has been considerable extension of this sphere of work. Evidence is not wanting that the importance of medical inspection of schoolchildren is recognized by parents. Physical Instruction. —Towards the end of the year the Department appointed a physical instructor for Southland. Previously Otago and Southland were combined for the, purpose of physical instruction. Regular instruction in physical drill is now given in most of the schools of the district, and the, instructor reports that in the majority of schools the exercises, are faithfully carried out. During the, month of September, training classes in physical instruction were conducted by the Department's physical instructors. The classes were open to all pupil-teachers, probationers, assistant teachers, sole teachers, and head teachers who had not previously attended such a course. In the case of pupil-teachers and probationers attendance was compulsory. Seventy-seven teachers attended the classes, and all entered with zeal and enthusiasm into the spirit of the training. Instruction of Teachers. —Saturday classes for the training of teachers were arranged by the Board as usual, but after being at work for only nine weeks the classes had abruptly to cease in consequence of the coming into operation of the restricted railway service. This enforced break seriously interfered with the work of the classes, as even by continuing practically right up to the Christinas vacation immediately the, normal train service was resumed, it was impossible to get in more than nineteen weeks' instruction instead of the usual twenty-six. The, subjects in which instruction was given and the roll-number in each cast; were as follows : Drawing (throe classes), 73; vocal music (three classes), 36 ; needlework (two classes), 51. ; hygiene (two classes), 50 ; agriculture (two classes), 42 ; school method, 15 ; mathematics, 10 ; English, 9 ; cardboard-work 26. Drawing classes for pupil-teachers and probationers were also held on two afternoons a week for a period of forty weeks, the average attendance being eighteen. Certificates. —809 pupils were presented for examination in the subjects of the Sixth Standard. Of these 537 gained proficiency certificates, 135 gained competency certificates (five being endorsed), while 137 failed —percentages of 66-3, 16*7, and 17 respectively. Buildings. —All building operations, maintenance, erection of new schools, erection of additions to school buildings and residences, have been carried out by the Board's staff of workmen, as was done last year. During the year a new school has been erected at Makarewa, and additions to schools at Waituna, Clifton, Waimumu, and St. George. The works now in hand are : Erection of new schools at Winton, Glenham, and Invercargill South ; additions to Don Street Manual School, Invercargill, Technical College, engineering workship, and to schools at Waikiwi, East Gore, Bluff ; and the erection of a new residence at Tuatapere. In addition to the foregoing works, necessary repairs to and painting of existing buildings have been carried out. Financial. —The. cash balance, on the. 31st December, 1918, was £4,340 4s. 4d. During the year the receipts from all sources, including the balance from last year, amounted to £126,273 19s. 4-d., and the actual expenditure to £125,020 ss. 7d. The cash balance on the 31st December, 1919, was £1,253 13s. 9d. In last year's report reference was made to the fact that the rebuilding account would have to be, largely drawn upon this year to replace the worn-out school building at Winton and to re-erect the Makarewa School. The cost to date of the, re-erection of the Makarewa School is approximately £2,300, the grant from the Government being only £1,218. The difference, £1,082, has to be taken from the, rebuilding account. In the case of the Winton School the Department has promised to consider the question of a grant in aid of this work when the building is completed and the detailed statement of the cost is submitted. Although the cash balance on the 31st December, 1919, is considerably less than the amount available on the 31st December, 1918, it is to be pointed, out that a sum of over £2,000 due by the Department was not received until January, 1920. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. J. C. Thomson, Secretary.

ABRIDGED REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, 1919. AUCKLAND. Sir,— Auckland, 30th March, 1920. We have the honour to submit for the year 1919 our annual report on the public primary .schools of the Auckland Eduoation District, and on those private schools whose inspection was undertaken by the Department. At the close of the year the number of pubic schools in operation was 670, an increase o 1 eighteen on the previous year. Thirty-four Roman Catholic diocesan schoo's and twenty-two other private schools were a'so inspected. The following is a summary of the results for the whole d'strict :-■ Number on Present at Annual Roll. Examination.

The total enrolment in the Roman Catholic sohools was 4,657, and, of these, 4,455 were present at the annual examination. In the case of the other private schools the numbers were 1,331 and 1,272 respectively. As a result of the, examinations for the award of S6 certificates the following information is appended :— Number of S6 candidates on the roll at the, time of the examination .. 3,337 Number of proficiency certificates awarded . . . . . . 2,494 Number of endorsed competency certificates awarded .. .. .. 33 Number of competency certificates awarded .. .. .. .. 486 Percentage of candidates who gained proficiency certificates . . . . 747 In addition to these there were awarded to pupils from Roman Catholic and other private schools 219 certificates of proficiency and 61 certificates of competency in the work of S6. The Epidemic. There is little doubt that the effects of the epidemic of 1918, from which, in common with other parts of the Dominion, this district suffered so severely, remained as disturbing elements during the early part of the year, and in some cases during the whole year. In the case of pupils, the long absence from school, and in that of both teachers and pupils, the very trying experience through which so many passed, interfered very seriously with entry on new work. Pupils began the year imperfectly equipped for the tasks that lay before them, and both teachers and pupils in many cases are still suffering from the effects of illness and overstrain. It was not until the year was well advanced that working-conditions became, normal, and it was then too late to completely recover what had already been lost. General Progress. —ln view of the large number of teachers absent on military service, of the disturbing influence such service must have had on. those who returned to duty, and of the number of untrained and inexperienced teachers the authorities were obliged to employ, it is not surprising to find that, in many cases, the general level of efficiency has fallen. Indeed, it wou'd be surprising if this were not the case. The most acute sufferers were the country schools, where the matter of maintaining suitable supply became a problem of very real difficulty, many schools being obliged to accept whatever offered and to struggle on under well-nigh hopeless conditions. It has always been difficult in this district to secure efficiency in areas lying remote from the larger centres, so that for years past an appreciable number of our schools have been staffed by more or less incompetent teachers. The number of these has increased during the war, with the result already referred to. The need for regaining lost efficiency is immediate and imperative, and the success of future effort will depend very largely on the attractions offered by the service. The unsuitab'e and unfit must be eliminated, and their places filled by those more competent and better equipped for the work. These are not easily obtained, for the increased annual output of the training colleges, for some time to come, will be fully absorbed by the demands of more liberal staffing. A good deal has already been done to improve conditions of service ; but, with increased remuneration everywhere recognized as necessary, the service will find considerable difficulty in attracting the best type of recruit until the need for more generous treatment is realized, and the teacher feels that his efforts meet with adequate recompense. Returned-soldier Teachers. A. large number of teachers absent on military service have returned to duty during the last two years, more especially during 1919. The varied and in many cases trying experiences through which these have passed have tended to act as disturbing influences on their outlook on life and work, and make it difficult for them to take up again the duties and responsibilities of office. In view of this it is most gratifying to find, in the great majority of cases, soldier teachers settling down resolutely to work, and energetically and successfully facing the difficulties and complexities inseparable from life in the schools,

Irregular Attendance. —We would again draw attention to this matter, feeing as we do that until effective remedies are applied the success which ought to attend the efforts of our teachers cannot he fully secured. We are of opinion that a considerable number of children of school age, and living within the distance from school prescribed by law, fail In comply with the attendance olauEes of the Education Act, which arc most emphatic in demanding the presence ol' the child at school each time the, school is open, unless exemption he granted I'm- some specific reason. It is unnecessary to point out that irregular attendance is fair neither to the child concerned nor to the rest of the school community, besides being against the best interests of the State. In previous reports we gave examples of such irregularity, and do not propose to cover the same ground again, though as a further instance we may mention the case of the children of the Chairman of a School Committee, iving close to the school, who failed to attend school lor several weeks following a difference of opinion between Chairman and head teacher. There is little doubt that more attention is needed in regard to this important matter, and that the application of whatever efforts are deemed necessary should be extended to all private schools, both primary and secondary, if the latter include pupils of school age. Backward Children- In our report for 1915 we referred to this matter. The growing necessity for planning out some specially devised scheme of instruction for the subnormal or backward chid, who, rightly or wrongly, is to be found in large numbers of our schools, is our reason for again reverting to it. The pupils to whom we refer cannot be called " defectives,'' as the term is.generally understood, for they are not, deficient in many of the essentials that make for integrity, honesty, power of application, and a genuine desire to succeed, but merely incapable of absorbing knowledge and profiting by instruction through the ordinary school channels with the same rapidity and thoroughness as their fellows. This characteristic may be inborn or the result of neglect- physical, mental, or moral—or of illness or of lack of opportunity. Whatever be the cause, it is a serious obstacle, both to the child more immediately concerned and to the class in which the child receives instruction. Such pupils cannot keep pace with their fellows, art; often found in the same class for several years, and, seeing their class-mates promoted and themselves left behind, gradually lose self-reliance and selfrespect, and, as confidence in their ability to succeed continues to weaken, tend to become incapable of effort requiring sustained application. In many of the English schools these children are collected and form special classes--as many as two or three such classes being formed in a school. A special programme, of instruction, including a variety of manual occupations, is provided, though the ordinary subjects enter largely into the curriculum. Pupils who make sufficient progress are moved into the ordinary standard classes, and those who are, unable to keep pace with the normal child arc gradually promoted from the lower to the higher backward class. A most favourable op non of the plan has already been formed and expressed by those having experience of its operation. The various standards in the school are relieved of a retarding and embarrassing element, and the pupils concerned are trained in directions conducive to their mental and moral development. Some years ago a class for backward children was established in connection with the Auckland Training College, partly with the object of enabling the authorities to gain experience in the special treatment best suited to the child in question, and partly in order to provide students with opportunity for observing approved methods in operation. The experience already gained should be of considerable value in any contemplated extension of the movement, which, we are of opinion, should be no longer delayed. We would like to see two or three classes established in or near Auckland City, one at Hamilton, and another at the Thames. Each class would serve for a group of schools and begin as a junior class. At the end of the first year it would probably be found necessary to set up other junior classes and convert the original classes into ones doing more advanced work. But experience would gradually determine the best methods of extension. Physical Training. —An appreciable number of our teachers fail to recognize the importance of physical training. In many of the larger schools and in some of the smaller ones approved schemes are carefully and methodically applied, but in others, notably those in country districts, the subject fails to receive the attention it deserves. " Properly regulated exercise bears directly upon the functional systems of the body, and especially on those important structures which contain the vital organs and on whose full development the health and functional ability must greatly depend through life. Such exercise will enable a man to prolong and sustain his labours with safety to himself and increased value to his fellow-men." Physical drill and games should form part of the curriculum in all schools, and should receive the same regular and systematic, attention as that bestowed on other subjects. The proposal to report in detail on each teacher in regard to the attention given to and skill shown in directing physical exercises and games, if carried into effect, will tend to emphasize the importance of this portion of child-training. It would appear that classes for training teachers should be held at more or less frequent intervals, partly with the object of adding to the teacher's knowledgeequipment, and partly in order to increase and sustain the interest already aroused. Ventilation of Class-room. —We have, frequently been obliged to draw attention to the, want of care shown in respect to the, proper ventilation of class-rooms. It is not an uncommon experience to find, on entering a class-room, a close, unpleasant atmosphere, which could easily have been avoided by attention on the part of the teacher to elementary and obvious principles of ventilation, the opening of windows and, if need be, of doors, and the regulation of such special ventilatingapparatus as may be provided. The occupants of a close room may be— indeed, often are- unaware of the conditions obtaining, owing to their gradual growth, so that it is quite possible for teachers and pupils to occupy a room with vitiated atmosphere for quite a, long time without being aware of it. Unless a plentiful supply of pure air is available the health of all concerned must suffer and the progress of class or school must of necessity be retarded. The Enlargement of Playing-areas. —One of the most gratifying signs of educational progress is the attention bestowed on. the provision of. suitable playing-spaee for school-children. The importance of gaimes and organized activities for which liberal playground area is essential is gradually being recognized, and efforts are being made to enlarge existing playgrounds and to secure ample space when erecting new schools. Many of our schools in the larger centres, however, suffer greatly from want of playing-space, notwithstanding the efforts made of late years to improve matters. If these schools are to remain in their present positions, it will become necessary to face the large outlay necessary to provide them with extended playgrounds and so enable them to develop a highly important phase of physical, moral, and mental training.

School-grounds. —These show, on the whole, a steady improvement. Some have, advanced rapidly, either owing to natural advantages or through the, enthusiasm of Committees, pupils, and staffs, and are tending to make the school a centre of interest and attraction for the entire neighbourhood. Schemes of Work. —In many schools these are prepared with care and judgment, and form the, groundwork and basis of intelligent instruction ; in others, however, they appear to be thrown together with little or no guiding principle. Before setting out a scheme of work a teacher should have a clear conception of what he proposes to do in each subject in the various classes, of the advance to be made as each successive stage is reached, of the preparation any one stage forms for the next following, and of the correlation, either in teaching methods or subject-matter, of thore subjects which fall into more or less kindred groups. The scheme, moreover, .should be sufficiently exhaustive to enable an Inspector readily to follow its (fetalis and grasp its aims, and to provide adequate guidance for an incoming teacher when a change of staff becomes necessary. Some of the so-called "schemes" are little more than brief skeleton courses, of small value as an indication of scope of instruction, and quite useless as a means of gauging aims and methods. Promotion of Pupils. —As in former years, we find that discretion shown in promoting pupils varies from school to school. In the more efficient schools promotions are carefully and wisely determined ; in many of the less efficient, pupils are promoted with undue leniency. Teachers should realize that to move pupils into a higher class before they have mastered the work of the lower class is in the interest of neither the pupil nor the school. One or two years of faulty classification create conditions under which even the best teachers are powerless to make satisfactory headway, and not infrequently permanently injure the prospects of pupils. Oral Speech. —In the revised syllabus issued last year' a considerable amount of attention is directed to " speech-training," as " it should be recognized that the foundation of all the work in English is natural and correct speech." If speech-training is to be effective, and pupils are to learn to express themselves clearly, with reasonable accuracy, and with due regard to correct pronunciation, one of the first essentials is that the teacher should present a desirable model. And yet we find, in many cases, that the speech of the teacher is by no means beyond reproach, indicating lack of understanding in respect of what is required, the result being that pupils lose much of that experience which leads to the aesthetic appreciation of English literature and to that ease and facility in oral expression which depends so much on oral and aural training. Subjects of Instruction. —Reading in general is improving, though in some schools the appearance made is far from satisfactory. The old standard reading-book is being gradually eliminated, having largely disappeared from many schools, its place being taken by a library well graded to suit the requirements of different classes. The principle of fitting the book to the child instead of the child to the book is gradually being applied. Improved methods of teaching reading in its earlier stages have been in use in the large schools for some years, and are gradually finding their way into the smaller schools. The more experienced and efficient infant-teachers have develpoed considerable skill in selecting suitable matter for blackboard lessons and appropriate illustration with coloured chalk, with the result that from the outset the children are interested, have their attention focussed on " thought-getting " rather than " word-saying," and early begin to make real progress. In many sohools the plan is adopted, with considerable success, of allowing pupils to read silently under nominal supervision. The period devoted to silent reading, however, is not always effective. Teachers sometimes fail to realise that children must be taught to read so as to get at the " thought content " of the passage, and that to allow pupils to read silently without making any attempt to direct or test their efforts is merely to court disaster. And here we would add a word of warning for the benefit of those who ate disposed to overestimate the advantages of silent reading and underestimate the value of reading aloud. The latter is one. of the best methods we have of training our pupils in clear and distinct enunciation, and in combating the tendency to dull monotony of speech. Further, though it is often insisted on that comprehension is a necessary preliminary to eliective expression, it is also true that a training in expression and modulation of voice is no small aid towards real understanding. Recitation : in only a few sohools is this subject really well taught and are pupils able to repeat the passages committed to memory with feeling, expression, and enjoyment. In general the selections are wisely chosen, but in a number of schools we still find pupils learning poetry and prose having no claim to literary merit. It is unnecessary to draw attention to the importance of making suitable selections, for in many cases these will be amongst the few passages studied and known by the pupils, either at school or subsequently. Further, it is of importance that pupils have some appreciation of the beauties of thought and setting appearing in the selections : this they do not always possess. Spelling : But little change is to be recorded in this subject, and in an appreciable number ol schools but little advance has been made. Where spelling has been systematically taught good results have been achieved, but in schools where reliance is placed entirely on word-building schemes unskilfully framed and imperfectly applied—and such conditions are by no means few in number in country districts —the outcome is altogether unsatisfactory. Many teachers appear to forget the need for constant revision of common words and rules dealt with in word-building courses, with the result that pupils in the higher classes frequently make mistakes in words the spelling of which should have been mastered during progress through the standards. Composition: While in the larger centres this subject is well and successfully taught, in a large number of the smaller schools results are disappointing. The subject presents greater difficulty than perhaps any other in the curriculum, and it is only where teachers recognize its close connection, through oral speech, with practically all other phases of school - work, where ample use is made ol the synthesis, analysis, and grammar schemes running through the English course, and where attention is constantly drawn to beauty and form of style and diction appearing in the reading-matter dealt with, that good results can be obtained. Speaking generally, we are of opinion that too much attention, in the, upper classes, is paid to " form," and too little attention to the " matter " of the composition exercise. Many of the. papers submitted at the S6 proficiency examinations, though grammatically correct, showed but little power of dealing clearly, forcibly, and (so far as may be expected from a child) exhaustively with the subject chosen. It was not an uncommon experience to find a candidate endeavouring, by repetition and the introduction of trivialities, not always pertinent, to present an exercise of sufficient length to satisfy the examiner.

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

Writing: This subject continues to show improvement, but rapidity of penmanship is still too little in evidence. Many pupils write really well, but only a few have developed a free running hand combining legibility, symmetry, and speed. Arithmetic : The remarks on the methods employed in teaching arithmetic, and the standard attained, appearing in previous reports still apply. The subject does not show any definite advance ; indeed, in many cases it fails to reach the level of former years. Improved methods of setting out written work have been adopted, but ability to grapple with problem tests even those of a purely elementary character, and rapidity and accuracy in dealing with work generally, are still disappointing. We would again draw attention to the very great necessity for a "foundation in the preparatory and lower-standard classes well and truly laid. Number work and tables in these classes, thoroughly understood and accurately learnt, are essential for future progress. In quite a number ofj-schools the blackboard is not used with sufficient freedom, too much working from books being encouraged. The blackboard is an indispensable faotor where classes are either large or numerous and under no circumstances should its use be neglected. History : The teaching of history is beset with many difficulties. The mind of the primary-school pupil is naturally immature, to which constitutional, political, and foreign matters present but trifling interest. Again, a considerable number of teachers do not possess the necessary academic equipment, with its accompanying wide and extensive detailed knowledge, to make a strong and helpful appeal to the child mind. And, further, the historical material in which the child is really interested, such as the customs of the people, their occupations, their amusements, the details of daily homelife. 'is not readily available. To talk to the young child mainly about the actions and thoughts of adults obviously is not the best way to arouse his interest, and when such discourse takes the form of giving accounts of battles and conquests the result may be positively harmful. In view of these difficulties it is not surprising to find that much of the history-teaching accomplishes little, or nothing of real or lasting benefit. In many of the larger and more efficient schools suitable schemes are well dealt with, and that portion of the subject coming under the heading of " civics " is treated with commendable success, but in a, large proportion of our country schools the subject is one of disappointment. Teachers in these schools too frquently rely on the historical reading-book, from which the pupil is expected to learn practically unaided. Nothing can be regarded as a substitute for vivid personal teaching, and those who make insufficient use of this form of instruction cannot hope to succeed. Geography : In general this subject is improving in treatment, under wider and more intelligent schemes of instruction. In the large schools it is really well taught, but in many of the smaller schools it cannot be called satisfactory—frequently the result of too much map-drawing and too little actual teaching. The text-book is an undoubted aid, especially in the upper classes, but pupils must be shown how to use the text-book, and its study must be accompanied by constant supervision and frequent explanation and illustration on the part of the teacher. Drawing and Handwork: Those subjects continue to receive careful and, for the most part, successful treatment; though over a considerable portion of the district the appearance made in drawing shows but little improvement. . . . Agriculture : The success attending this subject depends mainly on the knowledge, equipment, and enthusiasm, of the teacher. In many schools both indoor and outdoor work are we'll linked up, and the schemes in use. supply opportunities for treating the subject with understanding and profit! In others, however, the work is largely confined to elementary gardening operations, with but little effort towards leading pupils to learn from observation and experiment, and to understand some of the simpler processes and principles of successful soil and plant treatment. Nature-study : This subject continues to receive attention, and in some schools is taught with intelligence and understanding. In others, however, its possibilities arc but feebly developed, the lessons consisting mainly of a little elementary botanical information obtained mainly from books. Until teachers recognize that nature-study is not botany or biology or geology, or any other of the natural sciences, but a means of directing the child's attention to the wonders and beauties of nature, and to the change inseparable from the constant operations of nature's laws, and, through the interest thus aroused, of developing thought- and expression-power, appreciation of more immediate surroundings, and a desire to extend his knowledge of the wonderful world in which he lives, the progress made will continue to disappoint. General Science : In a few schools where this subject is taken in lieu of nature-study or elementary agriculture its success depends mainly on the, amount of apparatus at the disposal of the teacher and class ; in general, where equipment is liberal, results are encouraging. We would once more, draw attention to the paramount importance of practical work, in which the pupils themselves take the leading part. This is possible only under conditions where the supply of apparatus is sufficient for the independent effort of each unit or small group of units. The Service. —We have found it necessary in the course of our remarks to criticize with some freedom the efforts, the aims, and the methods of teachers as these appear in their schemes of instruction and in the general progress of their pupils. Our strictures, however, do not apply universally, but only to those who have been unable to satisfy the demands of reasonable tests. Before closing, we desire to express our appreciation of the high sense of duty and devotion to the cause of education shown at all times by the great majority of our teachers. The future of a country which includes such men and women in its education service presents much hopeful outlook. We have, &c,, E. K. Mulgan, Jas. W. Moli,raith,| Chas. W. Garrard, N. R.

TARANAKI. Sir, New Plymouth, I lth March, 1920. We have the honour to submit for the year 1919 the annual report on the public primary schools of the Taranaki Education District and on the private schools inspected. During the year 153 public, schools were in operation, and of these 150 were open at the, end of the school year. Of the former number eighty-two were under the. charge of sole teachers, and only two of these were combined as part-time schools. The private schools inspected number s.xtcen, with a total roll of 1,4-43. The following is a, summary for the whole district of the numbers, according to classes, of the public schools: — Number on Present at Annual Roll. Examination. Standard VII . . . . .. . . .. 24 22 VI . . . . . . . . .. 629 607 V . . . . . . . . .. 886 861 IV .. .. .. .. .. 1,056 .1,038 111 .. .. .. .. .. .1,230 1,196 11 .. .. .. .. .. .1,208 1,170 I . . .. .. .. .. 1,305 1,259 Preparatory •• •• •• •• •■ 3,811 3,634 Totals .. .. .. .410,149 9,787 Inspection -A third Inspector was engaged for nine months of the year. All parts of the district were, visited. Owing to the necessity for assisting to counteract the effect of the premature closing of the schools in the previous year full visits were paid to the schools during the first half of the year. Conditions. -The percentage of the average attendance lor the year, based on the average roll number, was 90-2. This number shows a recovery irom that of the previous year, and indicates that the attendence is acceptably regular in the district as a whole. There appears, however, to have been during t.ie past year m a largo number of school districts eitherjan unfortunate, amount of compulsory closing or much laxity in allowing casual holidays. This is evident when it is recorded that only five, were open for a normal year of 410 half-days ; twenty-seven others exceeded 400; ninety-six were open from 380 to 400 ; while twenty-five did not reach the lower of these figures. In some cases there may be adequate explanation. It is, however, imperative to emphazise the necessity for avoiding strain or, alternatively, weakness resulting from an undue shortening of the time devoted to the work of the school year. Some discussion has been initiated on the question of promotion or change of location of a, number of teachers, especially those occupying the position of head teachers of Grade lIIa schools. The, number of these in 1919 was forty-eight, of 111b schools eleven, and of schools of a higher grade; fourteen. It is evident that Grade 11.1.A is for many teachers a " dead-end " where hope of promotion disappears, owing to great dearth of openings. This disability has been partly met by the substantial increase of salaries recently allotted. When the, emolument and provision for residence reach a high standard the desire for advance will not be, so great. Another factor is the desire for a change of scene. After spending a considerable number of years in one locality teachers often experience this feeling, which to some extent may be regarded as natural. This aspect can hardly, however, be taken into consideration in any way involving expenditure until other conditions of employment, reach a degree of comfort that is everywhere recognized as reasonably demanded. In lower positions, on the, contrary, there have been too many changes of teachers, especially ol assistant teachers in country schools. The work of the " sole teacher and the amenities of the backblocks continue to present prominent features in the educational service, of the district. The inexperience of a number of teachers, is evident from the existence of 134 uncertificated adult teachers (i.e., other than pupil teachers and probat.oners). This amounts to 46 per cent, of the, adult teachers of the schools. A. welcome innovation is the appointment of four organizing teachers, each placed in charge of from fifteen to twenty small schools. Although this took place, only at the beginning of November, the teachers have already found cause, to express hearty appreciation of the system. Assistance can now be, rendered at the time it is needed and as frequently as the work of the school demands. As before, specimen schemes of work and specimen tests have been issued, and this will be continued, with the aid of the organizing teachers, during the coming year. One condition of the country schools is found difficult to remedy. This is the failure in a number of cases to find board and lodgmg for the teachers. Moderation of expectation on the part of a few teachers and some sacrifice by residents will meet the difficulty to some extent; but where these fail it is evident some special provision is demanded. Unfortunately, ow.ng to changing conditions, it is not easy to suggest the form of such provision. In one case, in another education district, a small movable dwelling has been constructed to be placed in the school-grounds or near an adjacent residence. For uncertificated teachers, including sole teachers, assistants, pupil-teachers, and probationers, Saturday classes have been conducted, mainly with a view to enable, them to prepare for examination. in August a special class was held for a fortnight, including a week forming the holidays at the end of the second term. The main subjects treated were hygiene, home science, practical agriculture, <md drawing. Especially for teachers wno were unable to take advantage of Saturday classes, correspondence classes were also arranged. School-grounds. —Even in the smaller country schools much can be, done to add to the appearance of the grounds without unduly interfering with the actual work of the school. In some instances Committees and teachers have shown a commendable spirit of co-operation and have interested themselves in organizing '" working-bees," with, the result that paths have been formed, shrubs, sheltertrees, and hedges planted, and the grounds in many ways made more attractive. Moreover, in a, lew of these schools, 111 addition to the work entailed in the mere beautifying of the grounds, simple experiments have been successfully carried out in connection with gardening. In the. larger schools

E.-_.

[Appendix B.

where greater opportunities are afforded, it is reasonably expected that the scope of the gardening will be, considerably extended and, in a greater number of schools, a definite course of instruction in-tf.it.ibid. l\iis comment should not obscure the fact that a high measure of success has been achieved by a large proportion of these schools. Certificates, So. -Cue award of certificates was usually based on a test by tin; Inspector either m cue schools or at a central examination. In a few cases the assistance of the organizing teachers was obtained to supervise the examination. Tne total number of pupils attending in S6 during the latter part of the year was 660. The number of proficiency certificates issued was 471, or 71 per cent. Of competency certificates seventy-six, or 1.3 per cent., wore awarded, seven of these being "endorsed." Efficiency. -Tne schools began the year suffering under the disability of the curtailment of the previous schoo year. In a considerable number of important schools the knowledge of this furnished an incentive to strenuous effort in the direction of thorough preparation in the earlier stages of the work. The result has been a pleasing degree of general efficiency, and several, schools have reached even a higher standard than usual. Of 150 schoo.s, seventeen were recorded as very good or excellent, fifty-one as good, sixty-two as satisfactory, and twenty as fair or very fair. In view of the. experience of many teachers and the numerous changes in the members of the staff of the district, the general result of the year's operations may be regarded as creditable. It md cates, among other features, that the uncertificated teachers, by earnestness, endeavour, and readiness to accept direction and suggestion, are rendering valuable service. The secret of this success is the observance of gradation in planning the, work and in the thoroughness of preparation at each step. It is, on the other hand, due to the neglect of these elements in method that some teachers of experience fail to product; acceptable results. Course of Instruction. -Reading as an oral exercise maintains a good standard. In a large number of schools the encouragement of general reading receives attention. To ensure a wider opportunity in others the Board is issuing at an early date a further supply of supplementary readers. In the study of the elements of language, and in practice m expression the pupils reach a good average degree of attainment. While in arithmetic a satisfactory general standard is reached, there is still, in many schools too much dependence on memorized methods of working. The need of more practice in oral statement and mental effort, and more system m setting out written work, is exemplified oi much of the work observed or examined. In the syllabus recently issued there is still further reduction in the amount of work demanded, and it is to be expected that the training of the pupils in method, facility, and accuracy will receive increased attention. Other Subjee s. Outlines for suggested schemes of work having been issued to the schools under sole, teachers, and under the direction of the organizing teachers in most cases, it is hoped that more definite and educative work' will result. The drawing and handwork are in these outlines c.osely correlated, and the teachers are encouraged in geography and history to avoid excessive detail, while following an intel igent treatment of the subjects. Nature-study, mainly incidental in the smaller schools, and in nearly all the larger ones based on schoo. gardening and agriculture, continues to receive general attention. In this, valuable assistance is given by the special instructors in agriculture. The teaching of singing varies largely in amount and character. It is not too much to expect that in the smallest schools the, minimum programme carried out should include, simple songs tastefully rendered. These should be used to relieve the ordinary school work at such times as the opening and the changing of lessons. In some small schools and in a fair proportion of larger ones notation and special voice-training receive attention. A fuller programme as part of the curriculum of a larger number of schools is demanded by the importance of the subject. Physical Instruction. Advance in this important aspect of training is still evident. Late in the year, at fourteen centres, the teachers were brought together for two or three days to take part in " refresher " courses and valuable results are anticipated. While it cannot be said that in all schoo.s there arc the, keenness and precision that are desirable, there is improvement in this respect, and the instructors report that the general efficiency of the instruction reaches a reasonably high standard.

WANGANUI. Sir, Wanganui, 31st December, 1919. We have the honour to submit imr annual report for the year 1919 on the primary and district high schools in the Wanganui Eduoation District. Changes in the inspectorial staff rendered it difficult to maintain the continuity of the work of inspection, and it was found impossible to continue the practice of working in subdistricts. In a rapidly developing district such as ours a considerable amount of time is occupied by all the Inspectors, and especially by the Senior Inspector, in the consideration of plans of new buildings, applications for new schools, ciianges of sites, enlargement of schools, and the like. Tiio extension of our organization along the newer lines, the preparation and production of the teacher's quarterly magazine, conferences with teachers, instructors, and others, the ever-increasing number of private schools -all served to restrict the time we felt should be devoted to the. public primary sohools. As the end of the year neared we were forced, much to our regret, to omit visiting a number of schools. During the year no time at all could lie set apart for study and for discussion, both of which we believe to be most valuable safeguards to an Inspector's efficiency. An attempt was made during the latter part of the year to establish " discussion centres " that would be attended by both Inspectors and teachers; but pressure of work forced us most reluctantly to abandon the idea for the time being. We regret this limitation to our activities, and would again urge the necessity for an increased staff. We are quite sure a staff of four Inspectors could not only be fully employed, but would, with an extension of the work on broader hues, find some difficulty in covering the whole of the ground.

During the closing weeks of the year four organizing teachers were appointed to assist in improving the small schools manned by inexperienced teachers. Each organizer was allotted twelve schools, and in these, short though the lime was. a marked improvement was effected. We were very pleased, with the whole-hearted zeal with which the organizers entered into their work. A plan of operations was drafted for each organizer, and advice was given him as to the best method of helping the teachers in his charge. Conferences with teachers were held by the Inspectors at eight centres early in February. At the larger centres the teachers divided into three committees, comprising respectively those interested in country schools, in infant schools, and in the work of assistants. The discussions proved instructive to the Inspectors as well as to the teachers, but we found we had attempted to cover too wide a field. Meetings of the kind would, we think, lie of more profit if fewer topics were selected and due notice were given teachers of the subjects to be discussed. With regard to the training of the pupil-teachers and probationers throughout the district, we have again to express our satisfaction with the fine work done by the majority of these young people in the Saturday instruction classes. We gave as much attention as time permitted to an examination of tin- methods by which the apprentice teachers received their professional training. In very few cases had we to report neglect by either head teachers or trainees, the Board's regulations in this respect being faithfully complied with. During the midwinter recess a winter school of instruction in science and drawing was held, with the object mainly of qualifying uncertificated teachers in remote schools to receive a " practical certificate "in science. These certificates are not awarded until the student has attended courses of lessons spread over two years. In the first year instruction in general science is given, and not until the second year is reached is any student in the district allowed to specialize. As a rule elementary agriculture is the science finally taken, and throughout the district there is an understanding that agriculture is to be the science taught, unless the school, is so badly situated that practical, outdoor work is impossible. With regard to the quality of the instruction in the primary schools we have little to add to the detailed remarks submitted in our last report. Speaking generally, we found drawing greatly improved, owing mainly to the untiring efforts of the Board's special instructor, 'n whose methods teachers take a marked and profitable interest. Composition is not as well taught as we, would like, too much attention being given to the more formal branches. Oral composition is scarcely practised except in a lew good schools where in the highest classes free debating gave us great pleasure. The art of letter- and essay-writing is regularly practised by the pupils, but rarely taught in a systematic manner. We propose to give in the Leaflet, detailed hints on the teaching of both oral and written composition. Recitation is as much neglected and as badly taught as we found it last year. Spelling is not the fetish it used to be, and gradually more enlightened methods of teaching the subject are making their way in the schools. Mental arithmetic is still kept out in the cold, for he formal text-book occupies most of the pupils' time. In few country schools are geography and history really taught, and it is a common experience to find the text-book usurping the place of the oral lesson. In the larger schools, however, these subjects are, in our opinion, faithfully taught, and oral lessons are the rule. It has been suggested, and no doubt with good reason, that where the textbook is so slavishly followed to the exclusion of the oral lesson the teacher herself lacks a knowledge of what she is expected to teach. The S6 proficiency examinations were held during November and December, the final results being in the hands of teachers before the schools closed. In but few cases were any schools examined for proficiency earlier than the third week in November, and none were examined during October. The following in brief was our procedure : The schools were divided into three groups, Group A comprising schools in the case of which the Inspector conducted the examination at convenient centres, Groups B and C where a synchronous examination was held under the, supervision of the head, teacher, assisted in the case of Group B by his staff; and in the case of Group C, comprising the very remote schools by an honorary assistant supervisor appointed by the School Committee. An examination in history, geography, and drawing, papers for which were sent out from the Education Office, was held under the teachers' supervision in all schools on the 18th November. At the, request of a large number of teachers suggestive tests in English and arithmetic were sent out by the office staff at the beginning of October and the beginning of November ; but the use of these was entirely optional. As a result of these or of similar tests teachers were in a position to furnish detailed estimates of each pupil's proficiency in the subjects of instruction. In addition, we, received marks from the instructors in wood-work and cookery. We endeavoured to make it clear to head teachers that their estimates were not to be based entirely on the results of any formal examinations, but were to be modified in the light of their experience of the pupil's work throughout the year. Notwithstanding our endeavours, however, we regretted to find that most head teachers did base their estimates on the last class examination he'd. In making the proficiency awards in schools above Grade lIIa we departed somewhat from our usual practice of examining all candidates, and awarded eertificares to the best pupils on the estimates furnished by the head teachers. In very few cases were pupi's passed who received less than 400 marks, which allowed a margin of 40 marks over the aggregate required for a proficiency pass. The remaining pupils were all examined at centres by an Inspector. The following are the tabulated results of the proficiency and competency examinations in the case of the public schools : Number of candidates on the roll . . . . . . .. . . 1 ,076 Number who gained proficiency . . . . .. . . . . 705 Number who gained endorsed com potency .. .. .. .. 17 Number who gained competency . . . . . . . . . . 189 Percentage of proficiency passes .. .. .. .. .. 65-4 Physical, instruction and organized games are, on the whole, well atended to. In most of the larger schools the morning recess is well organized and the whole staff participates in the physical training Swimming is taught in many schools, and most of the larger ones have their own baths. In one or two cases, however, we are quite aware that, though capitation is paid, there is very little actual teaching of swimming. In these cases the withdrawal of capitation would no doubt prove a

[Appendix B.

suitable corrective. We have to commend those assistants who devote so much time to the organized games ; but we would point to the danger in the larger schools of giving too much attentioiiii to the training of competitive teams to the total neglect of the rank and file, who still line the fence, or at best engage in an occasional desultory scramble. We were much interested in the work of medical inspection. New lines of investigation and experiment were opened up by the medical officer, and we are glad to place on record the success that attended her efforts. Jn all the larger centres the parents displayed keen interest in what was being done. At, the end of the year a, health camp of weakly children was held its Turakina on grounds kindly lent for the purpose. The weather was unpropitious, but the eh ldren enjoyed their stay and throve splendidly. We regretted they could not have been kept for three months instead ol only three weeks. If the camp is repeated next year we would suggest that a properly qualified teacher be engaged to give the children ordinary school lessons for a short time each day. We have, &<-., T. B.

HAWKES BAY. Sir, - Napier, 30th January, 1920. We have the honour to submit herewith our annual report on the work of the, schools in the Hawke's Bay Education District for the year ended 31st December, 1919. At the end. of the year there were 194 schools whose operations were supervised by us. These include 146 primary and two side schools, ten Roman Catholic, and eight other institutions, including private schools and junior departments of secondary and of technical schools. The twenty-six Native schools and two native mission schools in Hawke's Bay District also are included. In all, the aggregate roll is as under : — Public schools .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 14,008 Roman Catholic, schools .. .. .. .. .. .. 1,323 Private and secondary . . .. .. . . . . . . 488 Native and Native mission schools (estimated) .. .. .. 1,300 Total .. .. .. .. .. ..17,019 The following table shows the number present at the annual examination of the various schools:- —

Registered Private Schools. —We have again to complain of the failure of the controlling authorities of some of these schools to furnish the returns of enrolment and attendance. We are thus unable to present a complete statement as to the actual number of children receiving primary instruction in this district. It seems that a few of the authorities of these schools do not consider themselves in any way subject to the requirements of the Department, and appear to be unwilling to extend the recognition that is implied in forwarding such information. The only remedy appears to be to refuse recognition unless the returns are sent in at the appointed time. This remark does not apply to the convent schools, whose teachers deserve compliment on the ready and accurate presentment of returns. School Buildings. Our own inspection of the buildings, the result of which we furnish to the Board on a special form, shows that on the whole they are maintained in a satisfactory manner. There are one or two cases in which our recommendations for repairs, &c, have not yet been given effect to, but the difficulty of getting labour prevents improvements being carried out. Our experience in this respect is borne out by the report of the Medical Inspector of Schools, who has paid particular attention to this matter. Generally, the sanitary arrangements are good and clean. In some cases the children take upon themselves the duty of cleaning their school, and the results are highly satisfactory. The grounds are, on the whole, satisfactorily kept, but we still think that more might be done in many schools to make the schoolground attractive with flowers and shrubs. As suggested before, this can be carried out only in co-operation with the parents.

Proficiency Examination. —In accordance with the provisions of the regulations, candidates for certificates of proficiency were examined at their own schools under the supervision of the Inspector, except in the case of the outlying country schools, for which a synchronous examination was arranged. The work in English and arithmetic was tested as usual on the cards supplied for the purpose by the Department. We found there cards more or less uneven in their demands, the questions in grammar being harder than formerly. This may explain why in some of the larger schools the grammar was of disappointing quality. The work in English composition showed a very gratifying improvement : indeed, some of the essays were remarkably good. We, feel that this result is due to tin; greater attention paid to the subject by the teachers and to the acquisition of ideas gained through wider reading afforded by the school libraries. Considering the, nature of the questions in arithmetic, we feel that the results were generally satisfactory. Mental work has very much improved during the past two or three years. The writing was very satisfactory, and the degree of neatness in the work presented was, in a majority of schools, very commendable. Spelling has made good progress under the new system of teaching it, and tin; pupils' written work shows comparatively few mistakes. The reading is tested (1) orally and (2) by a written test in comprehension of the passage read silently. To this latter we attach great importance, and we find that teachers have also realized its value. We still find it desirable to supplement the oral test in geography, history, and science given at tin; second visit to the school by a short written test at the final examination, and we propose to continue this practice in the meantime. The new syllabus lays greater stress on these subjects. No special examination in drawing was held this year, the pupils submitting their year's work for inspection. We were very well satisfied with the average quality of their studies in various media. The following table shows the results of the examination. The decreased number of proficiency certificates is the natural result of the lengthy vacation due to the epidemic of influenza. 1918. 1919.

In the lowest classes the method of teaching is generally effective and the mechanical part of the work is overtaken in a satisfactory manner. In the higher classes we have required greater attention to the intellectual side of reading. In examining this subject in the large classes we have in many schools tested the pupils' power of comprehension by a written test, and find that good progress is being made in grasping the thought from the printed page. The Board has amplified the supply of supplementary readers. These have been forwarded to all the schools in the district, in such a way that a, much wider field in reading is now covered by pupils in the various classes. We ascertained to what extent the children have profited by the use of these extra readers, and are pleased to note in the first place that they have gained a much wider range of ideas, and in the second that a love for reading has been much stimulated. School libraries have been very widely increased ; in some schools there, arc over three hundred volumes, and we have instances where the senior pupils have read as many as seventy books during the year. We have ourselves observed senior pupils making full use of the public libraries in various localities, and we feel that reading in the district is now far more general than formerly. Spelling: We are pleased to note the marked improvement in spelling, which is specially evident in the, pupils' written work generally. In most cases the spelling-lists are drawn up with commendable skill. There is yet the need for some definite teaching of spelling as opposed to the mere testing of it. In a great many cases tin; spelling period of halt an hour is largely used up in the giving out of a passage for dictation, and this on every morning of the week. Teachers should understand that dictation is only a test of spelling, and not a mode of teaching it. We recommend that dictation be given only once a week, and that the spelling period should be divided into (1) a testing part, (2) a teaching part, the words and phrases dealt with to form the matter tested on the succeeding day. Teachers must now understand that the old method of setting the child to learn twenty to forty words at home is obsolete, unscientific, and therefore unjustifiable. The writing in the district continues to give us every satisfaction, and our views are borne out by the success gained by the pupils of the district in competitions both here and elsewhere. We, should like to arrange for speed tests to be, given in order to encourage a training in producing quick and legible writing. In a few cases we have had to draw the attention of teachers to the need for training the pupils to hold the pen correctly and to adopt a correct and hygienic posture when writing. Grammar and Composition : In the early part of the year we issued for the, guidance of teachers a scheme in grammar showing as clearly as possible the prescriptions of the syllabus in regard to the subject. Teachers have, found this to be of much assistance, and we think that the result has been to raise the standard to some degree. We feel that the requirements in regard to analysis in S5 should be. more closely defined, and consider that the complete analysis of the simple sentence forms a sufficient programme. Under the present conditions the S5 child attempts to find in the simple sentence clauses which he has been taught something of while his class is grouped for instruction with S6, and the result is confusion. Letter-writing is, in our opinion, a most important part of the, work in English composition, and this year we have had to direct the attention, of teachers specially to the need for teaching their pupils the correct forms to be, observed in ordinary correspondence and business letters. In regard to the essays and composition, we are pleased to report considerable progress. As mentioned above, we ascribe this in a large measure to the more extensive reading, but we should also give credit to the teachers of having attached greater importance to the subject. We feel sure that, a material advance will be made when there is a more extensive use of oral composition in the upper classes, and we, are glad to see that the new syllabus of instruction lays emphasis upon this matter. In arithmetic the results of our examination show that the subject receives reasonable attention and the work of the pupils is, on the whole, fairly satisfactory. We still think that the demands of

ii— E. 2 (A PF . b.)

IX

E.—2.

Appendix B.

the syllabus might be brought into closer conformity with the requirements of the child's everyday life, and feel that, especially in regard to girls, the practical utility of some of the rules should be considered by the Department. Mental arithmetic has shown a steady improvement, though attention to short methods and ready processes of reckoning is still desirable. In drawing the teacht>rs have done exceedingly well, and the work presented is of a very high order of merit. The course as arranged by us to aid the teachers in interpreting the syllabus has been almost unanimously adopted, and we can fairly say that it has enabled them to decide more definitely what should constitute a scheme in drawing and handwork for their particular schools. Science in this district is, especially in the county schools, largely concerned with elementary practical agriculture and dairy work, while chemistry and physical measurements form the groundwork in the town schools. The Board has made a liberal grant of chemical appliances to all schools where chemical science is taken. Refresher courses in science have been held throughout the district, and we think the results have justified the institution of these classes. Singing shows a fair amount of progress, but there, is much yet to be done before this subject can be regarded as entirely satisfactory. We. contemplate arranging a scheme in theoretical and practical work and offering it as a suggestion to the teachers. There seems to be insufficient time devoted to the subject, and in very few schools is the practice followed of having a short period of singing at various intervals during the day. Our observations show that teachers who attended the singing classes formed last year derived much benefit therefrom, and found indeed that the training and experience gained therein was of quite as much practical value to them as the, course they had followed at the training college. In sewing very good work was presented in most of the schools, while the woodwork is generally of a very satisfactory character. The Montessori class established at Napier West has continued to function. Prom time to time our infant mistresses and junior staff are given opportunity to visit the, room and observe developments. Insufficiency of accommodation has been a drawback and has hampered progress. Schemes of Work. —We intend during 1920 to make a special investigation of schemes of work in order to secure the most effective form for sole-charge schools and to see that in the larger schools there is in all eases a proper correlation from standard to standard. During the, past two years the Board ha,s issued schemes in English, science, drawing, and handwork, and suggestions have been given for schemes in spelling, history, and singing. Pupil-teachers and, Probationers- We have insisted upon pupil-teachers receiving regular practice in teaching, and in accordance with the provisions of the regulations have inspected their work by means of a special lesson on the occasion of our visit to the school. Their notebooks show that they have- been lequired to prepare their lessons in a careful manner, and the criticisms of the head teachers and assistants are in cases of very considerable value. We were much impressed with the personnel of the junior staff in this distiict, and consider that they are very desirable, candidates for the teaching profession. We are glad to know that our good opinion of the training which they sire receiving is shared by the authorities of the Department. Medical Inspection. —During the year three Medical Inspectors have been appointed in Hawke's Bay, and at the time of writing we, understand, that another change has to be made. With so many changes there can be no continuity of the work, as it is impossible- for each succeeding officer to commence exactly where his predecessor left off. Each appointment, therefore, means a beginning de novo, and any co-operation of teachers is impossible. In order to get satisfactory results we consider it is imperative that a Medical Inspector of Schools should be at least three, years in the district. In a similar way the work of physical instruction has been largely broken into by changes in the staff, and there are indications that some teachers themselves have lost interest. Reference to the Medical Inspector's reports will show that in spite of provision in the regulations no physical instruction had been given in some schools for months. Saturday classes which were established under one instructor for the training of pupil-teachers had to be, given up later on. Under these conditions it is impossible, to frame at the beginning of the year the programme to be put into effect during the whole, course of the year, and we feel that in consequence the work is, in too many instances, lagging behind. Swimming and, Life-saving. —During the hottest weather in the early part of the year we arranged to forego physical instruction in favour of swimming and life-saving. Classes in these subjects were held in Napier and Hastings with satisfactory results. In order to stimulate interest in swimming, the members of the Board have provided a challenge cup for competition among the schools. We think that the importance of this subject warrants a greater amount of attention from teachers in the district, and would bo glad to have their co-operation. Organizing Teachers.— Dining the year three organizing teachers were appointed, one being placed in the northern part of the district, working with Gisborne as a centre, one in the middle region with Napier as a centre, and. the other in the south with Dannevirke as a centre. Although only a comparatively short time has tdapsed since their appointment, much benefit has'been derived from their assistance by the teachers of the small schools, and we therefoie appreciate very highly indeed the action of the Department in making so valuable an addition to our teaching staff. The great drawback to the small country school consists in the frequent change, of teacher. In one case we had as many as eight changes within the twelve months. We think that a teacher who has been visited by the organizing teacher should, generally, not be transferred for at least a year. The varying conditions, howevesr, make it impossible to lay down a hard-and-fast rule The result is that the weakest part of the teaching staff is to be, found in the small country schools referred to. The young teacher who returns from the training college is very loth indeed to accept appointment to a school even a few miles from home, and prefers to seek a position in other districts rather than accept a country school. There is a good deal to be said for them, as the accommodation provided is not always of a suitable character. The Department should, endeavour to formulate a plan by which adequate accommodation will be, available. In the case of one i chool we suggested that a small movable building containing a sitting-room and a bedroom should be provided, to be erected near the residence of the Chairman or other member of the Committee. A young teacher could arrange to have meals prepared and still would have, the privacy of her own little home at the end of the day.

Classification of Pupils— In terms ol the regulations, the classification of pupils is placed in the hands of the head teacher of the school, though it may be modified to some extent by the visiting Inspector. Under the new regulations the Inspector is required to do comparatively little examination himself, in order that he may devote a greater amount of time to investigating the character of the teaching. It is well recognized that the efficient teaoher is fully capable, of classifying his pupils, but there are many instances, especially in the smaller country schools, where classification is not carried out on satisfactory lines, and it is not from any intentional action on the part of the teacher, but from the fact that he has not the necessary skill to do the work, nor in many cases has ho a standard on which to classify. In some cases we have ascertained that local pressure on the teacher rather than the ability of the pupil has determined promotion, the marks in the examination register showing failure to obtain even 30 per cent, of the possible. Freedom of classification imposes deep responsibility upon the teacher, and promotions should be effected with due appreciation of that responsibility, and without any consideration of external influence. Further, we have again, at times, found that pupils have been placed in a higher class "on trial." There can be no objection to the promotion of a pupil whose efficiency stands out beyond that of the rest of the class—indeed, this is the true spirit of the syllabus ; but there can be, no justification for placing in a higher class, at the request of the parent, the child who- is well known by the teacher to be unfitted for the work which he will be called upon to undertake. In any case, no such trial should extend beyond the first term of the year, at the end of which period an investigation should be made by the teacher into the results of the trial and the child reclassified accordingly. We would earnestly impress upon teachers the need for the utmost care in the classification of their pupils. National Scholarships. —We have to report that, as the result of the recent departmental examinations, sixteen Junior and ten Senior National Scholarships were obtained by Hawke's Bay pupils. This marks a distinct increase over last year's results, and is one with which the Board has expressed its great satisfaction. An analysis of the marks shows that the candidates from Hawke's Bay for the Junior Scholarships gained on the average the, highest marks in the Dominion (560). Moreover, most of the pupils come from primary schools. The value of the scholarships to a town, child is £5 per annum and free tuition, and to a country child it is £35 per annum and free tuition. The scholarship thus means more to a country child, and we have pointed this out to the Board in the hope that it will impress the country teachers with the need to have due regard to the interests of their pupils in this respect. Uncertificated Teachers. —During the year instruction of the uncertificated teachers was afforded by correspondence classes conducted by specially qualified instructors chosen by the Board. The published results of the Teachers' Examination for certificates again show that these classes are accomplishing valuable work. Seventeen of the students were successful in passing the Cor D examination or in obtaining some status towards these certificates. In connection with these classes a summer school was held at the end of the yeai, when the requirements for the practical certificate in science were met under direction of the Board's special instructors. Lessons were also given in school method and the art of teaching, while the Medical Inspector of Schools conducted lessons in first aid and hygiene, rendering assistance that was very much appreciated by all. Of those in attendance twenty-seven (including five of the correspondence class) passed the examination for D or were partially successful in theD and C examinations. Grading of Teachers. —On the whole the grading of the teachers in this district appears to meet with the requirements of the Department with respect to the allocation of marks. There were nine appeals, one of which was successful. The Board carefully conserved the, interests of the returned soldiers, who were given a special allotment of marks corresponding with their period of service. We have, &c, William W. Bird,] D. A.

WELLINGTON. Sir,— Wellington, 26th February, 1920. We have the honour to present our report for 1919 on the work and condition of the schools under the Wellington Education Board. There were inspected 254 State schools (including eleven side schools), with a roll number of 25,183, and thirty-five.private schools, with a roll of 3,714, a total of 289 schools in all, with 28,897 pupils on the roll, of whom 27,983 were present for the annual examination. Compared with the corresponding totals for 1918 the totals for the State schools show a decrease in the number of schools, and, for the first time on record, a decrease also in the number on the roll. The decrease in the number of schools is due to the closing of small household schools in tin; Marlborough Sounds for which it was not found possible to provide even unqualified teachers. The decrease in the State roll is mainly due to the establishment in the city of private primary sohools, the roll number of these schools showing an increase of 568 over last year's roll.

Of the 2,099 pupils on the S6 roll, 1,311 succeeded in gaining certificates of proficiency and 386 certificates of competency, or 62 and 18 per cent, respectively. The standard of efficiency of the district as a whole has been well maintained, though the effect of the closing of the schools early in November, 1918, owing to the epidemic, was noticeable in SI, and to a less extent in S6. Criticisms and recommendations on the various subjects of the syllabus have been detailed in reports already submitted, but some, matters call for special mention. While the essay-writing and composition in set subjects are, as a general rule, well done, and as a matter of fact in many Cases show distinct literary taste and merit, we an; unable to express similar satisfaction with the results of very simple tests in commercial correspondence. It is very evident that pupils need more systematic instruction in the wording and setting-out of ordinary business letters. Instruction and practice in essay-writing will not provide a substitute for this. It should be borne in mind also that one of the severest critics of our primary schools English is the ordinary buiness man, who forms his judgment not from the primary boy's formal essay or dictation exercise, but from his written answers to advertisements for vacancies in his office ; and if these are anything like some specimens which have lately come under our notice we are not surprised at adverse criticism from, a business man or anyone else. In arithmetic we find that inadequacy of oral treatment and neglect of mental processes are still too much in evidence. We, admit that the average S6 arithmetic card is partly responsible for this, but it is to be hoped that the reforms in the new syllabus will give scope and opportunity for a more rational treatment of the subject. Manual and Technical. —The senior instructor in agriculture reports favourably on the, work done under his direction. In addition to the supervision by the Instructors of the work at six district high schools and 130 primary schools visits are paid to schools where the classes are too small for recognition for capitation. Instruction is also given in nature-study in the lower standards. One weakness in the organization of this branch still exists—viz., the, inability of the majority of the district high school staffs to undertake the responsibility of the rural course instruction, the consequence being that the time of the agricultural instructors is too much occupied with the high-school classes to the detriment of the work in the smaller rural schools. Good reports are, to hand from the senior instructor regarding the woodwork and cookery classes. Seventy-nine primary and nine secondary classes received instruction in woodwork, scale, drawing, and cookery ; the secondary classes in. addition took laundrywork and dressmaking, as also did two of the primary classes. In the matter of accommodation and equipment the new centre at Thorndon is meeting all requirements, but at Petone matters are in a most unsatisfactory condition, and the necessity for improved accommodation is urgent. Organizing Teachers. —Two appointments were made in the latter jiart of the year, one; organizing teacher working from Blenheim as a centre and one from Pongaroa. It is early to speak definitely on the working of the scheme, but judging from, the reports of these teachers so far the results look promising. Summer Schools. —Two very successful summer schools were held in December, one at Blenheim and one at Pongaroa. In each case a full report of the work and general conduct of the classes has been submitted to the Department. A larger school which it was proposed to hold at Masterton had to be abandoned owing to the curtailment of the railway service. Staffing of Country Schools. —In common with other districts we are, finding the greatest difficulty in properly staffing our country schools, the main cause being the lack of decent accommodation for the teachers, more especially the female teachers. While, for a junior position of £130 to £140 in a town there may be from twenty to thirty certificated applicants, frequently for positions of £160 to £200, and even of £210 to £240, in the country, there is not a single fully qualified applicant. Remedy might be found by increasing the board-and-lodging allowance of country teachers, or by giving special grading consideration for country service, or by compelling trainees to take up appointments in country districts ; but in any case something must be done in the interests of the country children, as at present matters are fast reaching an acute stage.

NELSON. Sir, Nelson, 31st May, 1920. We have the honour to submit our annual report on the schools of the Nelson Education District for the year 1919. One hundred and thirty-two schools were open for instruction, though four of the smallest of these were closed before the end of the. year. There were in addition eight side schools, two halftime schools, and four secondary departments of district high schools. When the number of these and of private schools, &c, is added we find that in all there were 161 schools subject to our inspection. Visits of inspection were paid to all but fourteen of these, and twenty-nine others we were able to reach only once in the year. Some of those, unvisited were closed at the time of the Inspector's visit to that part of the district, and one was opened after it. By the closest concentration upon the work of inspection and the omission of no single working-day we have hitherto attempted to inspect every school in the district once between the middle of June and the end of the year. Our experience now shows that with other numerous duties devolving upon us our limited staff is unable to inspect adequately all the schools of the district twice in the year. We consider that the time devoted to each school has already been reduced to the minimum, and that even so we cannot hope to reach all, and so have made application for an increase of staff. Private Schools. —The roll number of the private and special schools inspected was 841, 772 being present at the annual examination. Ninety-three candidates presented themselves for the S6 examination, and 44 proficiency and 29 competency certificates were obtained. In our estimate of the efficiency of the instruction five schools were classed " good," two " satisfactory to good," two " satisfactory," and one " fair to satisfactory." Public Schools.—The, following table, taken from the Inspector's annual return shows the number of pupils in the various standard classes : Nninbcr on Pressttt at Annual 8011. Kxaiiiination.

The. proportion of children in the preparatory classes is again slightly reduced, being now 32-4 per cent, of the total roll number for the district. Exceptionally fine weather was experienced during the year, and epidemics have not been general. Consequently there has been little interruption to school work, and the attendance shows such improvement that a high degree of regularity throughout the district has been attained. The yearly average attendance, 6,390, in itself a record, is 90-8 per cent, of the average weekly roll number.

Teachers. —There were in the. employ of the Board on the, 31st December 226 teachers, of whom ninety-three were uncertificated. Most of the. latter were sole teachers, but the number of uncertifloated assistants has also increased. During the first half of the year especially greater difficulty than ever was experienced in obtaining competent teachers, as very few qualified ones were offering for any position ; consequently there was a considerable influx of uncertificated teachers into the lower grades of service. The status of the different classes of teachers is shown in the following table :— Certificated or ~ ~.. , , ,„ , , Licensed. Uncertificated. J.otal.

Efficiency of Schools. -At the, schools inspected during the early part of the year we met with very general complaints from head teachers concerning the backwardness of the children at that stage and of the handicap imposed upon them by the loss of time incurred through the compulsory closing of schools in the previous year and the consequently imperfect state of preparation attained by the children in their former classes. An unusually good working-year has apparently remedied many of the defects. The proficiency results were as high as before, and at later inspection visits we found no lowering of the standard of attainment, whilst on the other hand a greater proportion of the schools were doing efficient work, and in our judgment the teaching in some showed higher quality (ban had been previously displayed. Our estimates of the, efficiency of 125 schools inspected are briefly summarized as follows : Good to excellent, 3 ; good, 31 ; satisfactory to good, 37 ; satisfactory, 36 ; fair to satisfactory, 13 ; fair, 4 ; moderate, 1 ; efficient, 107 ; non-efficient, 18. All of the eighteen schools classed as unsatisfactory were under the charge of sole teachers, of whom all but two were uncertificated. It is somewhat surprising that the number is so small considering that there are forty-eight other uncertificated sole, teachers, some of whom are without training or previous experience. This class of teacher, especially that to be found in a Grade 0 or 1 school, still forms our greatest problem. The lonesomeness of the life, the unsuitability of lodgings, the distance from a centre, and the lack of tutoring and companionship are deterrents to many from entering such service, and lead to too frequent desertions from it. The product of the training-college, and sometimes now that of the probationer or junior-teacher course,, will scarcely accept such a position, so that the recruit must come from the public school, at best from the secondary class. Usually the training has been that of painful experience. The appointment towards the close of the year of three organizing teachers marks a new era of development. They will be able to give to these hitherto neglected teachers the help and. practical training in school-management so much needed. The organizing teachers should find full scope for their energies in the districts to which they have been allotted, and from the zeal with which, they have entered upon their duties we anticipate great benefit to this education district, which unfortunately abounds in small schools. The hearty co-operation and support of Committees and parents should be solicited by the Board to enable the work of the organizing teachers to attain a full measure of success. We would urge the appointment of a fourth organizing teacher, to operate from Tapawera as a centre, as around it are situated sixteen sole-teacher schools. Of the 107 schools marked " efficient," seventy-one have been more warmly commended by us. All but two (which are marked " satisfactory ") of our larger or head-teacher schools are included in the latter group, and we cannot refrain from expressing our appreciation of the grand work done by our headmasters. In enlightened methods, in zeal and devotion to duty, in unsparing effort, in thoroughness of execution, in the duties of citizenship, and in nobility of personal character they, as a rule, set an example that cannot but have a most powerful influence upon the great work in which they are engaged—character-building. Efficiency of Subjects. —The treatment accorded to different subjects varies considerably in different types of schools according to the ability and individual taste of the teacher. In no case can a, subject be considered satisfactorily taught unless all classes have received full and efficient instruction. In 120 schools records of our judgment concerning the subjects of instruction are fairly complete, and a brief summary is tabulated below, the term " satisfactory " being taken to include those schools on which higher praise was bestowed.

The subjects that present the most difficulty to teachers are evidently spelling, geography, history, and arithmetic. Want of skill in teaching, tin; uncertain development of the child due to previous faulty training, especially in the, initial stage, or the difficulty of a subject from the child's point of view, does not fully account for the fairly general failure, in the treatment of certain subjects. The young teacher of to-day has too often acquired only a superficial knowledge of some of the subjects he is called upon to teach. A certificated teacher may not be free frorri this reproach, and we welcome the suggestion to raise the standard of the certificate examination, not necessarily by setting more difficult questions, but by using more discrimination in the marking. With the many improvements and the wider range of subjects now in vogue we should guard against a loss in thoroughness. We have, &c, G. A. Habknkss, M.A., lj , The Director of Education.

CANTERBURY. Sib,— Christohuroh, 12th April, 1920. ■ We have the honour to present our annual report for the year 1919. The number of public, schools open at the close, of the year was 391. In addition to those, fortyseven private schools were inspected. The. following is a summary of the results of the, examinations for proficiency certificates : — Number D „ __■ . ~ , Endorsed , , I'rofir.reiicy. Comnelonc.y. ~ , presented. ' J Competency. Public schools .. .. ..2,510 1,642 463 57 Private schools .. .. 287 174 53 6 Special examinations .. .. 73 24 13 Totals .. .. 2,870 1,840 529 63 Medical inspection has been extended, and then; is now scarcely a school which is not visited once at least in every two years. The Medical Inspector has been ably supported by her nursing staff, and. from the interest that is now being taken, by parents we have every reason for predicting a great improvement in the general health of the pupils. The physical instructors continue to do excellent work, and in the corrective, classes there is marked evidence of the value of physical instruction. The physical, instructors have been aided by the faithful co-operation of the, majority of the teachers, and there are very few cases where teachers do not recognize the beneficial effects of the instruction, both in the physical up-building and the increased power for mental effort on the part of the pupils. The year just passed proved to be full of problems for our teachers. 1918 closed in gloom and with an unprecedented break in the ordinary routine of school life. When the schools reopened in 1919 many difficulties had to be met —the courses for the previous year had not been covered ; many pupils were not fit for promotion ; and time had to be spent in bringing these up to the standard of proficiency that would give them reasonable opportunity of benefiting by instruction in a higher standard. These difficulties were still further increased by the many changes of teachers that occurred at the beginning of the year. However, these adverse conditions were faced courageously, and although in some schools the disadvantages continued throughout the year, in the majority considerable leeway was made up. The effects of the unfavourable initial conditions were most noticeable in the varying quality of composition, grammar, and arithmetic. Of course there were schools in which, there were no appreciable signs of impaired efficiency. While the majority of teachers submit suitable programmes of work with a full recognition of proper sequence and gradation, there are others who through lack of sufficient knowledge of the syllabus fail to present courses in. keeping with the, spirit and the letter of the requirements. On some subjects text-books are slavishly followed and. have been made to take, the place of a thoughtfully drawn scheme. Such action is quite contrary to the demands of tin; syllabus, and is to be deprecated as being neither effective nor tending to make the instruction interesting. In future much more stress must be laid on the proper presentation of schemes, and with the assistance furnished in the new syllabus there can be no excuse, for failure to make a satisfactory attempt. We are glad to see that the new syllabus emphasizes the importance of speech-training and oral expression. Although reading is on the whole fluent, there are some schools in which little attention is paid to clear articulation and correct enunciation. Insufficient emphasis is placed on purity and distinctness of utterance, while tin; thought-content of the passage read also calls for more attention. It should be borne in mind that besides making it possible for children to master printed matter for their own use, the reading-lessons should help to train children in accuracy of speech, to extend the child's vocabulary and general information, and to inculcate a, taste for good literature. In some schools recitation is really well said, but in too many the pieces memorized have been poorly chosen and little effort has been made to arouse an interest in the, subjects. Syllabus directions with regard to recitations arc most helpful. The pupils should make a study of the poem with the teacher, so as to grasp thoroughly its meaning and spirit and to form an appreciative liking for the piece itself. Only after this has been done should it bo memorized. Although spelling on the whole is not a weak subject, the adoption of more intelligent methods of treatment would be productive of better results, with less worry. Word-building in the preparatory classes is too often lacking in definite aim, and little is made of the excellent opportunities afforded for training in clear enunciation, oral composition, and the purity and fullness of vowel sounds. The demands frequently made by the teachers in connection with spelling are too heavy. Words beyond the child's spoken or written vocabulary should not be expected. Writing varies considerably in quality and is not as good as it should be. More careful attention to details is needed in many schools, and a definite scheme and plan of writing should be drawn up and adhered to throughout the school. Sometimes the style and genera] formation of letters in copybooks used differ considerably from the teacher's set writing-lesson on the blackboard. The effect of this on pupils' writing is obvious. The awkward ways of holding the pen seen in some, of the senior classes indicate a grave lack of supervision in the earlier stages. A sound foundation there laid must have its effect throughout the school life. The practice of keeping young children for a lengthy period making single letters is neither profitable nor interesting, for it fails to give the incentive necessary to bring forth the child's best effort. Words from the reading, and associated in the child's mind with some object, might be, used profitably, and a desirable, correlation of reading and writing thus secured. Composition, although carefully done, in many schools, often, shows a want of do finite teaching in sentence-construction, paragraphing, and punctuation. Improvement in written work might be effected by systematically following a well-drawn-up scheme of oral work throughout the standard classes as well as in the preparatory division. Percival Chubb (President, High Schools Department, New York), in his " Teaching of English," says : " The poorness of quality in pupils' written expression is because teachers have not taken oral work seriously, and have not realized that as are a. child's habits of oral expression, so will his habits of written expression tend to become ; or, in

E.—2.

[Appendix B.

other words, the structure of his written work will be predetermined by his previously acquired oral habit and practice." Grammar, especially in the smaller schools, was not well taught, the reasons for correction being in many cases wonderful and varied. On the whole, arithmetic is carefully and methodically taught, though the teaching of number in some infant classes calls for improvement, and greater attention should, be paid to the memorizing of tables— an old-fashioned but helpful exercise. Daily practice in adding mentally lines of simple numbers will do much to teach addition effectively. Mental arithmetic in many schools in parts of the district has still to come into its own, both as a mental training and as an aid to formal arithmetic. Geography in a fair number of schools is well taught, and attempts made to trace cause and effect, and to show how man utilizes the forces and things of nature in order to live properly. However, there are teachers who do not handle their geography lessons intelligently. There is still too much note work—too much learning from the book. Very rarely in such cases are seen any attempts to devise and use simple apparatus for experimental purposes ; very seldom is a class or the school taken into the playground to be shown nature's forces at work in the miniature riverbeds, in streams from tiny hill-slopes, in the formation of gorge and plain and lake. It would be well for all to ponder over Dr. Charles Mercicr's declaration : " Nothing worth achieving was ever achieved without taking trouble, and if schoolmasters will not take trouble there will be no education." History and civics vary in quality : in some schools there is effective teaching, but in too many the results are of little value. The lack of success is largely due to the fact that very many of the teachers have little knowledge of the subject beyond what is found in the school text-book. There is need for wider reading so that the teachers may be, able to teach the subject on broader lines. The practice of presenting a book instead of a carefully-thought-out scheme cannot be commended, and in future will not be accepted. The encouragement of the reading on the part of the pupils of such books as " Hereward the Wake," " The Last of the Barons," " The White Company," & ~ would add interest and create a, healthy attitude towards the subject. In quite a, la.rge number of schools an intcligent introduction to civics has been given, and care taken to point out the privileges that are enjoyed under the British flag. But still more stress might be, laid upon the fact that these privileges entail the discharges of duties and the shouldering of responsibilities. It is very necessary that tin; feet of our pupils should be guided to the openings of tin: roads to good citizenship, its strong and insidious forces are at work in certain quarters which may lead sooner or later to disruption of society and of the general happiness of our people. Although in nature-study very many schools are doing fine work, fresh interest might be aroused if teachers, especially those in country districts, encouraged their pupils to correspond with, those in other parts of the district with regard to interesting observations. Such a practice would bo one way of correlating nature-study and composition, and would lead to closer communing with nature, and would also be of real moral aesthetic value. In the primary schools a pleasing feature is a steady improvement in the general appearance of the school-gardens. This is largely due to the, earnest enthusiasm and wise direction of the agricultural instructors. Teachers are becoming more interested as they recognize the lasting benefits that will ensue from the courses followed. In two schools at least very fine training in dairy science has been given. In domestic science there is marked improvement, especially in connection with the scientific aspect of the work. Much credit is due to the supervisor and the instructresses for the energy and enthusiasm with which they have carried out their duties. Praise is also due to those in charge of the woodwork classes. As far as could be judged from hurried visits, the methods are good and the results highly satisfactory. In schools from which the pupils are unable to reach woodwork and cookery classes, carton work and plasticine-modelling are well handled, but in a large number they are simply taught because the syllabus requires such teaching, and naturally the results in these schools are but indifferent. The delay in receiving the supplies of apparatus and material has affected the quality of the handwork in many of the schools. A very considerable amount of good drawing is presented, the colour work reaching a high standard. In these as in other subjects teachers should show a properly graded scheme, and should present a list of objects to be drawn illustrating suitable gradations in the treatment of the subject. In many schools the sewing taught is really valuable, as a means of training hand and eye, while the future needs of the, girls are kept well in view. It is hoped during the coming year that the instrumental drawing of the senior girls will be correlated to some extent with their sewing. Singing is practised in a good many schools, but is taught in very few. The rendering of a few songs or rounds, and these often repeated from year tc year, seem to be all that is attempted. This falls far short of what might be expected. If the teachers would endeavour to cultivate a love of music they would be doing much towards enabling the leisure hours of adults to be spent enjoyably under the refining influence of harmonious sounds. Physical exercises are regularly carried out in nearly every school. The visits of the Departmental physical instructors have proved corrective and stimulating, and are a means of maintaining a good standard of efficiency in the work. A " refresher course " for teachers has now become most necessary. During the year the, Department saw fit to make provision for organizing-tcachers. The success of the experiment lies largely with the teachers appointed. If they are energetic, enthusiastic, and sympathetic there is no doubt as to the success of the step. The position affords much room for initiative, and it is to be hoped that considerable freedom will be allowed, so that the work may be taken on lines that seem most suitable to the district. During December the now syllabus was issued, and it seems to bo generally agreed that its contents are of a most helpful character, but it must always be kept in mind that a good syllabus is not all that is necessary. In this connection we may be allowed to quote from remarks made by Inspector Barry, of Victoria, on rural schools : " The teacher is the central figure in the success of the school, and to her efforts will come either success or failure. As the whole of the programme must be taught, the. teacher must read widely, as a thorough acquaintance with all the subjects taught is absolutely necessary. Country children are generally shy and require encouragement, there*

fore, the teacher's manner counts a great deal. In proportion as she displays sympathy and tact so will she obtain the willing co-operation of her charges. The teacher's tact plays a great part in the success which she gains in inducing country children to discuss freely and in good style the subjects taught." In closing these notes we must give our teachers their meed of praise for their honest efforts on behalf of the moral, physical, and mental welfare of the children, and for their earnest desire to attain to tin; best in method and in. aim. But few fall short in the rendering of faithful service, often amid difficult conditions and. with nothing in the environment to help movement onward and upward towards the best. We have, &c, Wm.

OTAGO. Sir,- Dunedin, 15th March, 1920. We have the honour to submit our report on the work of the schools of this district for the year 1919. The following table shows the number of pupils on the roll and the number present at the, annual examination :—

During the year 254 schools were in operation. Of these three were household schools. All the schools were inspected, and in most cases two visits were paid. In 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 efficiency : Excellent or very good, 28 per cent. ; good, 40 per cent. ; satisfactory, 27 per cent. ; fair to inferior, 5 per cent. The results of the inspection of our schools disclose a slight diminution in efficiency ; this, in view of the long period during which the pupils were absent owing to the influenza epidemic* was not unexpected ; that the effect was not more marked is due to the fact that our teachers put forth greater efforts, without which the results, compared with those of former years, would inevitably have been much worse. Most of the schools marked below "satisfactory " are country schools with one teacher, and. in two-thirds of these schools changes of teachers will, in the main, account for their inferiority. The general condition of schools has been adversely affected by the frequent changes due to the, conditions prevailing since the war began, as is shown by the fact that the Board, during the twelve months from December, 1918, advertised for 209 vacancies. We have again to draw attention to tin; fact that there, is a great leakage of children from school before S6 is reached. In 1914 the roll for SI in Otago was 3,050: of these only 1,674 reached S6 in 1919. liven, if we allow for a certain number of children, being held back in various classes during their progress through the standards, these, figures show that every year a large number of children leave school before entering S6. Physical incapacity, mental backwardness, migration from school to school, irregular attendance, and delay in beginning school life art; responsible for many cases of retardation, but not for all. An examination of the figures for each standard during a number of years shows that the largest decrease lies between S6 and 85. There are many causes for this, such as children leaving school on reaching the age of fourteen, but one contributing cause is the fact that a number of children are, held back in 85 because some headmasters are too exacting in making promotions to S6. In some cases this is due to the false notion that a teacher's work is judged mainly by the percentage of passes obtained in the examination for proficiency certificates. In our last report we referred to this matter at some length, and we desire again to call attention to the remarks made then. Another cause of retardation is the holding-back of children in SI. The syllabus states, " Tin; preparatory division will, in general, include those children who have been under instruction at school or elsewhere for not more, than two years." The words "in general " mean that allowance is made for exceptions where good reasons (such as those mentioned above) can be given for retention in this division for more than two years, but the, aim of the, teachers should be to promote the normal child to SI after two years' instruction in the infant classes. In schools where SI is too large for one assistant the class is divided, into two, and the lower division is sometimes

called lower 81. There is no objection to this, as any standard may be divided into an upper and lower division, but in some quarters there has grown up an idea that a transfer from lower SI to upper SI means promotion. Tn one sense it may, as the upper class may be doing work a little in advance of the lower, but such an idea has a tendency to retard promotion to S2. The syllabus does not recognize a lower SI otherwise than as Standard T, and promotion from lower Si cannot really be made unless to S2. The result is that a number of children who have taken two years to obtain promotion from 81 to 82 have been, at school more than three; years before they reach 82. The retardation referred to above, is not confined to Otago. As a matter of fact the percentage of children in the -preparatory division in Otago is 31-64 of the total roll, while the, percentage for the Dominion in 1918 was 33-83, and was as high as 36-33 in. 1914. Nevertheless, this proportion is still too high. Last year we, noted that the percentage of S4 children, reaching S6 had shown a steadily rising tendency since 1910, and in 1918 reached 60 per cent. It is gratifying to note that for 1919 (he percentage is 65—a marked increase on that of the previous year. While our teachers by increasing the efficiency of the sohools can give considerable assistance in reducing the wastage referred to, yet the. prevailing economic and social conditions are too strong to enable them to remove completely the cause of complaint. If increased efficiency in the nation is desired, the real remedy is to raise the compulsory age, and to make provision for more practical work for those children who are somewhat below the average in attainments. We dealt with the question of classes for " backward " children very fully in our last report, and we have only to add that we hope the Board will consider this matter at the most favourable opportunity. Proficiency Examination. — For the proficiency certificate 1,768 candidates from the public schools presented themselves. Of these 1,356, or 77 per cent, secured the certificate of proficiency, and 172 gained the certificate of competency. This shows a decrease of nearly 3 per cent. on. the results of the previous year. In addition 233 candidates from private sohools, King Edward Technical College, and secondary schools were examined for certificates of proficiency. As in our report of last year we commented in detail on most matters pertaining to the functions of our schools, we refrain from doing so now, but express the opinion that, with but few exceptions, the work of our schools is carried out on good lines, the pupils being well trained to put forth their best efforts and to look upon their school experience primarily as a training for life where the best lessons they can learn are honest endeavour and a conscientious discharge of duty. At no period of our history has the, cultivation of this sentiment been more imperative, as in all societies and communilics honest exertion and increased productivity of labour are the essential conditions to our national rehabilitation: In only a few schools has the school excursion or class walk formed part of the general work. This practice, if undertaken with directness of aim and carried out after a suitable preparation by teacher and pupil, is a most important factor in real education, as it provides means for the study of things in their environment. Too often we find lessons given on natural objects in. unnatural isolation, with the result that the relationships and the, adaptation to environment are disregarded, and thus "the forests are obscured by the leaves." During inspection have frequently been struck with the necessity for utilizing our public institutions in our system of instruction, for too often the references in the reading-books are unappreciated through the lack of exploitation of such sources of information as are supplied by our public libraries, picture-galleries, and museums. In order that another source of refined pleasure may be accessible to the pupils of our city and suburban sohools, we again emphasize the desirableness of familiarizing the, senior pupils with the characteristics of a good picture ; then an intelligent observational attitude will take the place of aimless gazing on the part of young people when paying all-to-infrequent visits to our picture-galleries. Fortunately in our primary schools we arc getting away from, that system of education where the reasoning-powers were trained by abstract processes without the aid of eye and hand, where the brain was crammed with facts, and whore the application of principles to the circumstances of daily life was rendered difficult because tin; pupil was not taught how to make such application, nor was he confronted with evidence of the utility of the, knowledge ho was acquiring. Now that the teacher is impressed with the necessity for applied knowledge and the consequent efficacy of things as educative media, we hope, that manual training and science will command adequate consideration in our training college, and that the laboratory and the workshop will form as essentia] a part of the school as does now the school-garden. Instead of erecting school buildings with a view to a permanency suggesting that educational wisdom will be. interred in our own graves, the cost of securing the adjuncts mentioned above might be greatly lessened by part of tin; buildings being less costly in construction ; this would, not only provide means for securing a necessary adjunct, but also remove the difficulties of adapting our buildings to the progressive views of future educationists. At present the manual work consists principally of woodwork for the boys and cookery for the girls of S5 and S6 of the, town and suburban schools and the district high schools, while horticulture is carried on generally, but we are, so convinced of the high educative and practical value of woodwork and cookery that we keep on hoping that the facilities for their introduction Io our country schools may soon be provided, and in the meantime teachers' classes may be started in these subjects, when the enthusiasm of our teachers will, compensate for the want of perfect conditions, and the usual compromise between the ideal and the practical will result. Through the medium of these subjects our schools are, laying the foundation of future hobbies, and if it is true that " a man's a man accordingly as he does what he hasn't to do," there is every indication that the citizens of the future will be intelligent gardeners with a large share of excellent characteristics, mental and moral, that the primal industry is so effective in cultivating. We note with pleasure that many of our teachers are, doing much to improve the environment of the pupils by planting ornamental native shrubs, which Mr. Green, with wise provision, and a keen appreciation of the decorative value of much of the New Zealand flora has sent from his nursery in connection with the Training College. As over seventeen thousand plants have now been distributed, and ample provision has been made for the continuance of this good work, we confidently look forward to the time when all of our school-grounds will be things of beauty.

Staff Conferences. —Under this heading we regret to note that in some eases these conferences have been carried out with a perfunctoriness that nullifies their usefulness. As the intention of these conferences is to secure unity of aim and continuity of method, also to prevent overlapping by means of interchange of ideas between head teacher and staff, we shall in future consider it defective organization where we find that such a valuable means of improvement has not been carried out in the, proper spirit. Without this interchange there is a strong probability of a large school becoming a number of classes taught in airtight compartments instead of an organization with interdependent parts, this isolation of teachers being utterly destructive to the idea of a school as an organic body. In the cases where conferences are properly carried, out we are so satisfied with the effect that our faith in their efficacy is greater than ever it was. We regret that the authorities have not yet made it part of a teacher's duty to visit other schools, as "we are more impressed by what we see than by what we hear." Nevertheless, our headmasters have it within their power to provide facilities for an interchange of visits by teachers of contiguous schools, and where this has been done the results have been most encouraging. Returned Teachers. Many of our teachers, after having so well discharged their patriotic duties, have resumed work and are settling down to work well. With their return our thoughts proudly revert to the part taken by our teachers and pupils in connection with the great national effort. The occasion well utilized for practical instruction in civics cannot fail to have lasting effect on the conduct of those engaged, while those young teachers who, in alert response to duty, made the supreme sacrifice! have, by their noble example, bequeathed to our schools an imperishable heritage and a cherished memory. Organizing Teachers. —The experiment has been so successful that we had little hesitation in advising the Otago Board to make two additional appointments, so now there are three teachers working respectively from Owaka, in the Catlins district; from Balclutha, in the Lower Clutha district ; and from Ranfurly, in Otago Central. We have no doubt that such success will attend the efforts of the new appointees as resulted from the well-directed work of the first organizing teacher. Physical Instruction. —We regret that the scheme of physical instruction has rendered useless the equipment of our gymnasiums, as we consider that a judicious use of apparatus will produce such habits of body and mind as cannot be effected by " free exercises " alone. So insistent on this was Ling, whose Swedish system we are supposed to follow, that free exercises were but a small portion of the work prescribed by him, as they tend to become mechanical and then cease to be educative. Within these somewhat circumscribed limits much good work is done in our schools, the exercises being suitably arranged and well demonstrated by our visiting instructors, who are always most helpful to our teachers. Now that the Department has appointed a Chief School Medical Officer we confidently look forward to important extensions of this essential branch of education. We have, &c, T. R. Fleming, \ C. R.

SOUTHLAND. Sir,— Invercargill, 25th March, 1920. We have the honour to submit our report on the schools of Southland for the year ended 31st December, 1919. The following table gives the number on the roll and the classification of the pupils attending the public schools of the district: — Number Present at, mi Roll. Annual Examination.

In judging the efficiency of the instruction it has to be borne in mind that the schools opened in 1919 with a serious handicap in that, owing to the outbreak of influenza, the work of 1918 had been left unfinished. Some teachers, being impatient to begin the new work, neglected the necessary revisal. of the, unfinished part ; while others kept their classes revising too long ; the successful teacher chose the middle course. On the whole, the problem of the short year was very successfully attacked, especially in the S6 class, in which the percentage of passes is only slightly below that of the previous year. The teachers may therefore be accounted to have risen worthily to the, occasion. It has also to be noted that, owing to the impossibility of holding the, usual annual examination in 1918, teachers were compelled to rely mainly on the results of the second-term examination as the basis of classification, and that, as a consequence, promotion was gained by pupils who, in ordinary circumstances, might have failed to qualify for a higher class. Further, the rising value of property throughout the district and the changes of home rendered necessary by war conditions have been responsible, for an abnormal movement of population both in town and country, thus causing an exceptionally large number of withdrawals and admissions of pupils, whose progress has in some measure been impeded through changing schools. The combined effect of these factors has been to retard the progress of the schools : we are pleased, therefore, to be able to add that the teachers have met the difficulties of the year vigorously and resourcefully.

Then; were, twelve schools of Grade 0 open during 1919. Of these one was inspected, four sent their pupils in the standard classes to the nearest school for examination, and seven were not inspected in any way during the year. From the results obtained by the, schools of Grade, 0 that were examined we are of opinion that the inspection of these is necessary in order to ascertain whether the Department is getting a fair return for the, expenditure involved. We, would suggest that an inspection visit might be paid every two years to those, schools of Grade 0 that tire too remote to send their pupils to another school for examination. All the sohools of Grade I or higher were visited once during tin; year, most of them were visited twice, and a number of the weaker schools were visited three times. The Grade I schools present the most difficult problem with which we, have to deal. Owing to the small salary, the remoteness from centres of population, the difficulty of obtaining board and lodging, and other disabilities incidental to life in the blackblocks, it is exceptional to get qualified teachers to fill these positions, and. the Grade I schools suffer most from frequent changes of teachers. They are the recognized training-ground for teachers who enter the profession without previous service as pupil-teachers or probationers. The length of time spent by such teachers in a Grade I school is generally in inverse proportion to their success as teachers and students, because more desirable positions can always be secured by those who show natural, aptitude for teaching if they have gained even partial success in the certificate examination, As far as practicable the assistance of the organizing teachers has been called in to guide the efforts of untrained teachers in these schools, and we, fully expect that the quality of the work will by this means be materially improved. At the same time the efficiency of these schools will always be precarious until teachers of promise can be induced to remain in charge for considerably more than a year. Of tin; fifty-five schools in Grade I, ten were reported as good, thirty-one as satisfactory, and fourteen as fair. The problem of the schools of Grade II is also serious, but of a different kind. The majority of the teachers are certificated, and the remainder have partially qualified for a certificate. As all the classes are usually represented in a Grade II school, the organization of the work demands special skill. Where the teacher is in earnest and has some ability, he learns by experience how to make the best use of the grouping of classes, how to distribute his time so as to give each class and each subject its due share of attention, and how to keep seven or tight classes fully employed all the time. That some fail to gain satisfactory results is not at all surprising in view of the inherent difficulty of organizing a school of this grade and of the, fact that a, considerable number of the teachers have not received a regular training. Of the forty-two schools in Grade 11, eleven are reported as good, twenty-three as satisfactory, and eight as fair. Tin; weaker schools of Grade I and II have given us a good deal of anxiety, and we have striven by various means to raise their standard of efficiency. A somewhat elaborate scheme of work, prepared by the Inspectors, was issued for the guidance of the teachers as to the general aim, the method, and the scope of the instruction in each subject. We, believe, that this has proved very beneficial. In the earlier part of the year we paid a number of two-day visits to some schools, in effect doing the work of organizing teachers, and in all cases after the first visit we furnished the teachers with a confidential memorandum in which were noted recommendations for the improvement of teaching-methods, &c. it is too early to report on the effect of the organizing teachers on the general quality of the school work, as they entered upon their duties in the last quarter of the year. We may say, however, that there is an ample field of work for these officers in the ninety-seven sole-teacher schools of this district. We again venture to suggest the establishment near Invercargill of a model sole-teacher school for the benefit of the comparatively large number of teachers in the service who have neither attended a training college nor served an apprenticeship as pupil-teachers or probationers. This class of teacher is receiving additions to its numbers every year despite the fact that the Southland Education Board annually sends a good number of ex-pupil-teachers and ex-probationers to the training college. It would appear, indeed, that a, number of these never return, having received appointments elsewhere. We believe that if, would be. of very great value to untrained sole teachers to spend a fortnight observing the management of a model school. It is plainly impossible for the organizing teachers to visit all the scleteacher sohools whose teachers require guidance in organization. The, schools of Grade 111 constitute the largest group in this district, there being altogether sixty-two. Of these, twenty-six are reported as good or very good, thirty-one as satisfactory, and five as fair. All of the head teachers but two and about half of the assistants are now fully certificated, a state of affairs better than has obtained for some years. The smaller sohools of Grade 111 approach most nearly to the ideal in staffing, and where the teachers Lave ability they ought to obtain very good results. We are pleased to report that a considerable number of the schools in this grade are doing very fine work. Unless the conditions have been exceptional through change of teachers or other adverse circumstances, there is no excuse for unsatisfactory results in schools of this grade ; it is not unreasonable to expect the majority to reach a good, and all to reach a satisfactory, standard of efficiency. There are only nineteen schools of Grade IV or higher. Of these, sixteen tire reported as good or very good, and three as satisfactory. There is not one weak school in this group ; the general quality of the instruction is very good, and there are several schools in which the standard of attainment leaves but little to be desired. Positions in these schools are in many respects more desirable than in those of lower grades, even if there is no advantage in salary. It is accordingly exceptional to find an uncertificated or an untrained teacher on tin; staff. It is unfortunate for this district that there are so few schools of Grade IV or higher, where the salary offers a fair reward for the ablest teachers trained in lower positions. When it is remembered that there are sixty-two headteacherships of the next lower grade, besides a number of assistantships of equal value, it will be admitted that the nineteen larger schools in Southland do not furnish a sufficient number of promotions to reward the most successful of the Grade 111 teachers, and that consequently many teachers have to wait a long time for the promotion that they have earned. We welcome the lightening of the burden of work in arithmetic by the elimination of the metric system in the new syllabus. As pupils never had occasion, to apply their knowledge of the metric tables to everyday problems, this portion of the course tended to become a mere abstract training in mathematics. For many years arithmetic has been the most troublesome subject on the syllabus,

XX

it has received its full share, in some instances much more than its fair share, of the teachers' and of the pupils' time ; yet it has been by far the most fruitful cause of failure in examinations for certificates or for classification. The reaso is that a false, idea has prevailed of the aim in teaching arithmetic in the primary schools : too much lias been made of arithmetic as a training in abstract mathematics, too little, of arithmetic in its utilitarian and practical aspect. If the, enlightened aim of flu; syllabus is kept in view, it will be seen that there is no need to spend the time of primary-school pupils in solving arithmetical puzzles or in simplifying intricate fractiona' expressions. While we believe that some schools have on the whole given too much time to arithmetic, there are two respects in which the time, might with advantage be increased i.e., in building up and thoroughly memorizing the addition and the multiplication tables, and in mental and oral arithmetic. If these departments of the subject are adequately treated, the time devoted to written arithmetic can be materially reduced. In the circumstances in which most of our schools are placed the success of the, teaching of arithmetic depends very largely upon the, text-books used. Where the teacher has two or more classes to teach, as is the rule in the vast majority of cases, the pupils' practice in. arithmetic is perforce almost entirely confined to the exercises contained in the text-books. Unfortunately the, arithmetic text-books heretofore available have failed to interpret satisfactorily the spirit of the syllabus. The possibility of the preparation by the Department of suitable class-books of exorcises in arithmetic might be considered. It is hoped that the relief afforded in arithmetic will result in increased attention being given to the English subjects. In the smaller schools reading and composition generally require more time than they receive. The, interesting continuous readers which have been put into the hands of the pupils of the senior division should be used not merely for extra practice in reading aloud, but in reading for the purpose of getting the thought-content, and in reading for pleasure. A number of sohools are fostering a taste for literature, by means of school libraries. It is a.xiomatic that style in composition is most readily acquired by imitation of good models, and it must therefore follow that a wide course of suitable reading tends to improve the written composition. It is in written composition, perhaps, that progress is slowest ; we believe, however, that this subject is steadiy improving, especially in S6. We have constantly advised teachers that oral composition and the collection of materials should precede the written essay, and that errors in construction, &c, should be corrected in class after the essays have been marked. We, are of opinion that exercises in narrative composition, the easiest form, should constitute a larger part of the pupils' practice. We shall watch with, interest the effect of the new course prescribed in spelling. In certain sohools far too much time has been spent in the testing of spelling by dictation exercises and lengthy lists of words ; these are rarely the schools that obtain the best results. If this timo can be reduced by the new method, it should be possible to give more; attention to reading and composition. In respect of writing, there need never be any deficiency of practice, for, rightly considered, every written exercise is an exercise in writing. We are pleased to report that this view is gradually being adopted, and that all the written work is, in the case of a very fair proportion of the pupils, at least neatly done. At the same time, we are of opinion that formal lessons in the formation of letters and in the rules for good writing should be more frequently given, at least up to S4. We regret to say, further, that the extended use of slates, rendered necessary by the expense of writing-paper, is having a detrimental effect on the quality of the ordinary writing with pen and ink. In history and geography a definite scheme, in which the items of information are set forth in some detail, has, by arrangement with the Educational Institute, been, in operation for two years. The results have hardly come up to expectations. We fear that there is a tendency in some quarters to regard these subjects as unimportant. There are, of course, no unimportant subjects on the syllabus. It is to be apprehended, too, that some teachers in their scrupulous avoidance of the appearance, of " cram," grudge to put any tax on the memories of their pupils. But it must be recognized that there are, certain simple facts in geography and history, including the names of places and persons, that must be memorized. To get geographical and historical facts memorized the method is the same as is employed in other subjects ; orderly presentation, illustration, repetition, and drill by questions and answer. In the case of history there, is another circumstance that should be mentioned, namely- -that there is no suitable text-book available that covers the ground and deals with the subject in the manner prescribed by our syllabus. The instruction in handwork in the senior division (woodwork and cookery) was seriously interrupted by the restrictions placed on the, railway service, the attendance of the, classes that travel by rail to the manual training centres — i.e., of the majority having been suspended for many weeks. As in former years, the examinations for the proficiency certificates were held during the last three months of the year. Candidates attending schools from which facilities for travelling to examination centres do not exist were examined at their own schools on the, occasion of the inspection visit during October and November, and the remainder were, examined at suitable centres during the last week of November or the. first two weeks of December. The percentage of passes varied but slightly from that of the previous year, a result that is to be regarded as a subject for congratulation in view of the serious handicap with which the pupils began their year's work. The following is the table of results : —

[Appendix B.

The order, discipline, and tone, of our sohools may be adjudged as ranging from satisfactory to excellent, the number of schools in which the mark " fair " is given being so small as to be negligible. This report is indeed a gratifying evidence of the great work that is done by our schools as moral agents, and of the earnestness displayed by the teachers in their calling. We are glad to note that the Department is taking a direct interest in the architecture, of the schools. There is certainly a great need for the brightening of the interiors of the schoolrooms. At present, while there are comparatively few class-rooms that are attractive, there are a great many that are, drab, cheerless, and uninviting, with a suggestion of barracks. In this matter it must be recognized that the teacher as well as the Board has a duty to perform, for he can by attention to neat arrangement at least avoid the, reproach of neglect; a good many teachers brighten up their rooms by tasteful arrangement of flowers. A few schools have led the way in rendering the school-grounds attractive. In this movement the enterprising enthusiasm of the teacher has been the main drivingforce.. We sincerely hope that the beginning thus made will 'inspire School Committees and wellwishers of the primary schools with a zeal that will not rest till all the schools have become what they ought to be, the " showplaces "of their districts. How far the reality falls short of this ideal will be appreciated when we state that there is a, fairly large number of playgrounds so ill-drained that they are unfit for games and physical exercises during a great part of the year. We wish also to put forward a plea for the improvement of teachers' residences, which should be modernized so as to compare on even terms with those of other citizens. Bath-rooms and high-pressure ranges should surely be regarded as indispensable in these days. We are, glad to be able to report that the quality of the applicants for entry into the service as pupil-teachers and probationers is improving. A higher percentage of the applicants have qualified for matriculation or partial matriculation than in former years ; moreover, a few promising boys of good personality are beginning again to be attracted lo the profession. It was deemed necessary to examine, those pupil-teachers and probationers who had not passed either the Matriculation Examination or the first two groups of the D Examination. The results of this examination, which was held in September, were on the whole satisfactory. There, is evidence, however, that those who are appointed with no higher educational attainment than the Intermediate Certificate in most cases find preparation for examination burdensome, and that some of them are deficient in the general knowledge that is required every hour of the day in the schoolroom. The Saturday classes for uncertificated teachers had to be closed down for a lengthy period owing to the restrictions placed upon railway travelling. To the earnest young teacher bent upon improving himself these classes are a much appreciated boon. The services rendered by the devoted band of instructors are worthy of all praise. The appointment of a physical instructor for the Southland schools will enable physical instruction to be systematized throughout the .district. Ever since, the inception of the present scheme of physical instruction in 1913 the Southland schools have, as a whole taken a keen interest in this branch, and we believe that the results in improved physique have justified the attention given to it. We are convinced, too, that indirect benefits have, accrued in respect of discipline and of the relation between teachers and pupils. The corrective classes in the large schools appear to be finding favour with the parents. Very successful classes for the training of teachers were held in September. These were attended by pupil-teachers, probationers, and adult teachers who had recently joined the service or who wished to refresh their knowledge of the subject. Last year was also signalized by the appointment of a resident Medical Inspector of Schools for Southland. Although we are not so directly in touch with the work of the medical branch, we have had opportunities of noting the magnitude of the work involved and the growing interest taken in it by parents. We therefore trust that a separate Medical Inspector of Schools for Southland will become a permanency. When the Lady Supervisors visit the district we shall have a number of problems to submit e.g., the, duration of the sewing-lesson, the character of the sewing taught, the utility of advanced needlework as a school subject, the feasibility of providing a hot meal for pupils that do not go home at dinner-time, and the procuring of supplies of infant-teaching apparatus. During recent years the urgent need for a more up-to-date method of travelling for Inspectors has become more apparent. Other travellers who cover the same routes as Inspectors of Sohools now almost universally use motor-cars when they diverge from the railways, with the result that in most centres horses can no longer be hired. Inspectors of Schools, who in this"district depend for conveyance on the railway, on horse-drawn vehicles, and on ordinary bicycles, have accordingly to endure hardships and suffer inconveniences that other travellers escape. The alternative, which has often to be resorted to—i.e., the hiring of motor-cars, involving as it does a double journey for'the car, in the morning and in the evening—is unduly expensive. If Inspectors were provided with motor-cars they would be, able not only to carry out their duties more expeditiously and efficiently, but also in this district to escape the discomforts inseparable from using open conveyances in a rigorous climate.

No. 2. EXTRACTS PROM THE REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OK SCHOOLS, DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS OF MANUAL INSTRUCTION, ETC. [For Reports on Rural Courses in District High Sohools see E.-6, Report on Secondary Education.] AUCKLAND. Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. During the year school classes in woodwork and cookery were held at Whangarei, Tc Kopuni> Dargaville, Helensville, Devon port, Northeote, Newmarket, Newton, Ponsonby, Otahuhu, Pukekohc Ngaruawahia, Hamilton, Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Cambridge, Matamata, Rotorua, Tc Aroha, Thames, Waihi, Tauranga, and Coromandel. Laundry-work courses for girls were carried out in nearly all the above-mentioned centres. The Manual Training School buildings at Rotorua, Northeote, and Ngaruawahia were erected during the year. The Department, has approved of the erection of manualtraining schools at Vermont Street (Auckland City), at Onehunga, and at Avondale. In each case, the buildings will be designed to allow of extension for use in technical and continuation class work. The capitation paid by the Department for school woodwork classes has proved utterly inadequate to pay reasonable salaries to the instructors, and it was only by drawing largely upon its general fund that the Board was able, to deal fairly with these teachers. Domestic Science. —During the year the Board's Organizer of Domestic Science visited each of the manual training centres and gave assistance regarding general management of classes. Equipment was inspected and brought up to requirements, Evening classes were also visited. Full syllabuses of work were made out for cookery, laundry, home management for all school classes, and also for invalid cookery for nurses' classes, and for adult cookery classes. Courses of work for school, continuation and adult dressmaking classes were also drawn up. In July the domestic-science teachers attended a week's course of instruction in cookery-class management and science work. The, Domestic Science Organizer reports that the work in this district suffers from the following defects : - (I.) It is very difficult to sustain interest amongst the older pupils where Standards IV, V, and VI attend together. This is done to obtain sufficient capitation, but is not educational. In some centres secondary-school pupils are taken with primary pupils for the same reason. (2.) The duration of a two-hour class is insufficient to cover many of the longer processes of cooking. If girls could attend a whole day monthly, or a three-hour half-day bi-weekly, the results would be, more satisfactory. Where, as is often the case, a teacher has three classes daily, each of two hours' duration, the work is often necessarily rushed and suffers in consequence. This is especially difficult for our city teachers with their entirely too large, classes of thirty-six girls. (3.) Owing to the increasingly high cost of food it is difficult to give good practical lessons at 1-Jd. per capita, which is what the pupils' fees work out at. If the, lessons were lengthened, and more money available, a meal could be, cooked and eaten. (4.) The absence of any definite New Zealand standard of training and examination for teachers of domestic subjects is to be regretted. The entire absence of any training whatever for teachers of dressmaking and millinery is a serious matter. At present any available instructress (who has some trade knowledge) has to be taken for dressmaking and millinery. As they seldom have any experience in teaching, the work is not always as useful as it might be. (5.) Teachers of cookery in some cases lack—(a) Good housekeeping knowledge ; (b) business methods as regards data required by the office ; (c) good general education of matriculation or normal standing ; (d) training in the principles and practice of teaching. If domestic-science teachers had to take two years' normal training before specializing in domestic science, their value, as teachers would be greatly increased ; and under those circumstances a teacher could be, appointed, to a school staff and take ordinary lessons at those, times when not engaged in domestic-science teaching. This would also do away with much travelling, for work suffers where a teacher has to rush from centre to centre. (6.) The absence of any trained women at Wellington to correlate this work throughout the, Dominion and to safeguard the work as regards both pupils and teachers. In answer to a request made to the. Department that a conference of those responsible for this work be called, a reply was received that the, matter would be considered, but no arrangements have yet been made. (7.) Better results will certainly be obtained when daytime compulsory continuation classes are established— (a) By dropping domestic, subjects in the primary schools, and substituting lessons by class teachers, to boys and girls alike, in food-values and nutrition, with the, object of forming sound food habits ; (b) by giving the older girls in the continuation classes intensive training in cookery, home science, laundry-work, dressmaking and needlework, home nursing and child welfare, with practical work in all that goes to make up efficient housekeeping in a hostel or other building where people live daily. Girls at the, age of sixteen and upwards would be at an age to appreciate and benefit by such training. Certificates would be granted, and those who desired be trained to earn their living as home assistants. School Agriculture Classes. —232 schools (including sixteen Native schools) had recognized classes in elementary agriculture, and 114 had recognized classes in the, combined course (agriculture and dairy science).

Swimming and Life-saving classes were taken at twenty-four schools. Needlework. —-At seventy-eight schools with no female teachers special sewing mistresses took needlework classes. ' - | Extract from Agricultural Instructors' Report. —Schemes of the course of work have in many cases too great an element of vagueness to render them of ready assistance in the teaching of nature-study on agricultural lines. The result of this is seen in the wide range, of merit shown by notebook records kept in the studies made during the year. Garden operations still form the least satisfactory feature of the course, and there still remains lack of appreciation of the fact that the garden-work should be mainly educational. Certificates of merit were awarded to forty-four schools for efficiency in elementary agricultural class-work. The, value of teachers' classes in the method of teaching agriculture and dairy science in primary schools was revealed by the improvement in the, instruction at those schools from which teachers had attended. It is desirable that similar classes be held during the coming year. During the year the Board interested itself in the endeavour to acquire a portion of the Dilworth Trust property at Papatoetoe for the establishment of a college to further agricultural education. The efforts made in this direction were unfortunately unsuccessful, but the importance of this project is such that, steps for the acquisition of land for such an institution should not be lost sight of. There has been very marked advance in the prices of apparatus, chemicals, manures, seeds, and tools during the year, and there is urgent need for an increase in the rate of capitation granted to maintain the supplies required by schools each year. TARANAKI. Extract from the Report of the Director of Technical Education, Manual Training. —Primary and secondary classes for woodwork and cookery were conducted at, New Plymouth, Waitara, Inglewood, Stratford, Eltham, Hawera, Kaponga, Pihaina, and Mangatoki. The pupils from Tariki, Ngaere, and Midhirst travelled to Stratford for instruction. Good work is being done, but there is still a little prejudice against this work- shown by some teachers, and until this is entirely removed the best work cannot be accomplished. Agricultural Instruction. —There was a better continuity of work in 1919 than in the previous years. At primary schools 120 classes were conducted in agriculture, and twenty-five, in dairy science. Ido not think there was a single school taking the subject of agriculture that was not visited during the year, and the majority of the schools were visited several times. It was pleasing to note, on my annual visit to these schools the very good work that was being done both observationally and experimentally, and the high standard of work that was being maintained. Keen interest was also being taken in the improvement of the school-grounds, and much thought, rare, and labour had been put into this work. lam also pleased to be able to report on the, keen interest taken in dairy science. The treatment and the presentation is such as to get the best from if as a, primary-school subject, and also to bring the child into thoughtful appreciation and examination of his economic environment, which should be of the greatest future importance to Taranaki. WANGANUI. Extract from the Report of the Director ok Manual and Technical Instruction. Agriculture.— 166 schools had recognized classes in agriculture or dairy-work, the average attendance being 2,469. The. Supervisors report that satisfactory work was done at most schools, a considerable improvement being shown in some cases. Many of the school-grounds are, beautifully kept, and the number of badly kept grounds is steadily decreasing. Increased activity was shown in outdoor nature-study, this work being taken up quite independently of the time-table. The value of carefully kept notebooks is emphasized. Many of the garden-tools are wearing out, and the cost of replacement at the present almost prohibitive, prices is a matter that is giving some concern. Considerable use was made of the Board's Leaflet in providing notes and suggestions for teachers regarding schemes of work, &c. Nature-study notes appeared in each issue of the Leaflet. Many specimens of plants, &c, were forwarded by pupils for identification. A combined schools' exhibit was again staged at the Manawatu and West Coast Winter Show in June, illustrating the scope of work undertaken in the way of crop-growing (experimental and otherwise) with notebooks, plans, and photographs of schoolgrounds, seed and weed collections, graphs showing various phases of the, work, and typical, experiments conducted in schools during the winter months. In the secondary departments of district high schools agricultural science has taken by all boys. The annual stock camp was held in March at Mr. E. Short's " Parorangi " farm, sixty boys being in attendance from the Wanganui Technical College, and Bulls', Feilding, Patea, and Taihape District High Schools, The instruction given followed that of previous camps of a similar character. The physical instructor was in camp and gave instruction in physical exercises and supervised the games. This was the first occasion on which such instruction was given in connection with the annual camp, and there is no doubt the boys derived considerable, benefit. At the conclusion of the camp the usual examinations and competitions in the judging of stock were held. In his report on the papers submitted in connection with the judging of Jerseys, the Examiner remarked that, taken on the whole, the papers were remarkably good considering the very limited opportunity the boys had of studying the subject,, and that the two first papers would not be beaten by many breeders with years of experience. The annual shearing-camp was held at Mount Stewart in November ; twenty-eight boys attended. ■:.-•■ Woodwork, Melalwork, and Domestic Science. —Classes were held throughout the year at Apiti, Bull's, Feilding, Foxton, Hunterville, Marton, Ohakune, Palmerston North, Patea, Rongotea, Taihape, and Wanganui. 906 pupils from thirty-nine schools received instruction in woodwork, 957 pupils

from thirty-eight schools received instruction in cookery, and sixty-two pupils from three sohools received instruction in metalwork. A cookery-room, towards the cost of which liberal donations were made by the residents, is being erected at Ohakunc. The Instructors' reports on the work of all classes were very satisfactory. Swimming and, Life-saving.- 1,386 pupils from ten schools received instruction. Needlework. Special teachers were employed at twenty-four schools in charge of male teachers, the aVerage attendance being 270. Advanced needlework was taught in one school to fifty-two pupils. Physiology and First Aid. Three schools had recognized classes in this subject, the average attendance being eigthy-nine. Physical Measurements. —Recognized classes were held at three schools, the number of pupils being 195. Drawing and Handwork.- The Board's supervisor in these subjects visited a large number of schools. He reports that there is a pleasing evidence, that the work in drawing is rapidly improving, this being especially noticeable in the work sent up by pupils to the shows at the various centres. Further articles on the teaching of drawing, &c, were published in the Leaflet. Recognized classes in handwork were, held at 197 schools, the average attendance beimg 13,689. HAWKE'S BAY. Extract prom the Report op the Inspectors of Schools. Manual and Technical Instruction. Classes are held in Gisborne, Hastings, Waipawa, Dannevirke, and Woodville, instruction being given by special teachers appointed for the purpose by the Board. The work done is undoubtedly, of much value, to the pupils, but we think that under present conditions it is confined to too small a number. Provision for manual and technical instruction ought also to be made in the larger country schools, particularly in the case of girls who require some training in the domestic arts. No manual instruction is yet provided for the' children in the Napier centre Arrangements are, however, in hand for the new year. Extract from the Report ok the Education Board. Manual Instruction.- Classes in elementary handwork were recognized at 130 schools, the same number as in 1918. Great difficulty was again experienced in obtaining the necessary material for the work of these classes. The increase in the cost of materials is out of all proportion to the recent increase in capitation granted by the Department. Some, materials are practically unobtainable at any cost. The average roll number of pupils receiving instruction in various branches of handworkwas 12,215. Needlework, has been satisfactorily taught in all schools. Special classes were conducted at eight schools in sole charge, of male, teachers. One hundred and sixty-three classes for agriculture and dairy science were recognized for capitation purposes during the year. The number of classes and yearly average attendances were as follows : —

The increase in the number of classes is gratifying. There are still a considerable number of teachers untrained in science work, and who are therefore unable to take the science programme required by the syllabus. Classes for woodwork, cookery, and dressmaking were conducted at centres to which the pupils from the surrounding schools came from instruction. Classes were, in operation at Gisborne, Hastings, Waipawa, Dannevirke, and Woodville. It was not found possible to resume manual-training classes at Napier in 1919, but satisfactory arrangements were made for their resumption in 1920. The table, below shows the number of classes and the, yearly average attendance.

Most creditable work was exhibited at the annual agricultural and pastoral show at Hastings, and the instructors, teachers, and pupils alike arc, to be congratulated upon the exhibits.

[Appendix C.

Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. Manual Classes. Under this heading were included all the classes recognized under the Manual and Technical Regulations, (..'lasses in cookery, dressmaking, and woodwork were taken by special instructors. Two instructors in woodwork and two in dressmaking were, employed by the Board during the year, but if this branch of work develops as it should during the coming year at least three new instructors in both subjects will be, required. The work in woodwork continues to improve steadily at Hastings and the southern centres. The drawing is particularly good, and compares very favourably with the best specimens from other districts in the Dominion. The work in wood is also very good. The Board during the year fixed a minimum requirement for all boys taking woodwork. This was a step in the, right direction, and will tend to increase the pupil's interest in this work by allowing him to make a certain number of models each year. In domestic science the, value of the specially trained instructor is just becoming apparent. In future years less scientific work should lie attempted in Standards V and VI, and nearly the whole of the time should be given to practical work in cookery. The, third- and fourth-year pupils, however, should devote more time to practical laboratory practice in domestic science. At least three, hours a week should be given to cookery and domestic science. If the, girls in the rural course were exempted from taking agriculture, the arrangement suggested above could easily be carried out. Classes in, Elementary Agriculture and Dairy Science. In order to improve the science work' of the primary school, refresher courses for teachers were held at Gisborne and Waipawa. The class at Gisborne was held at Easter, and was well attended, and some very good work was done. At Waipawa the class had to be abandoned owing to the curtailment of the railway time-table. The numbers of classes and pupils receiving instruction during the year were as follows : Classes, 322 ; pupils, 2,1.00. Elementary Handwork.— As in the past years, the Education Board supplied all the material necessary for the carrying-on of classes in elementary handwork. Owing to the, disorganization caused by the war, the Board has been unable, to procure full supplies of knives, scissors, and cardboard for cardboard-modelling. The increased cost of these articles is also a very serious matter for the, Board. Most articles have, increased over 120 per cent., arid, the capitation grant has only recently been increased by 20 per cent. CANTERBURY. Extract from the Report of the Super visor of Manual Training. Elementary handwork has again received due attention, and at every school in the, district some form of handwork was taken up, correlated with other subjects of the school curriculum. To a great extent the subjects taught depend on the bias of the teacher, but generally all schools took up modelling in plasticine, design and colour work, with constructive work in cardboard-modelling. The difficulty of supplying material and apparatus has still been very apparent, as the shipments ordered in 19.18 did not arrive till about the middle of the present year. However, it is expected that a full supply will be available for the year 1920, as the Board has indented all the material required ; and it is hoped by this means to be able to supply better material at less cost. The cost shows no signs of reduction, and unless the Department makes an increased capitation grant it will be impossible to make, income meet expenditure, as Is. per head is not nearly sufficient to meet the cost of all requirements for elementary handwork. Elementary handwork was taken at 400 schools with an attendance of about 28,200 pupils. The interest in what is known as advanced handwork subjects was well maintained during the year. Included in this list are classes forming part of the rural course of instruction, classes in woodwork, ironwork, cookery and domestic economy, hygiene, home science, laundry-work, and so forth. At twenty-two centres in the. district woodwork and cookery classes were, taught by competent instructors, and every available pupil was conveyed by rail, coach, or tram to receive, instruction. The need is still felt for the, establishment of new centres to cater for the wants of country pupils, and for increased accommodation and better facilities at already established centres. During the early part of the year the new building at Southbridge was completed and fully equipped, and successful classes have been carried on during the year. Unfortunately, owing to the great cost of building at the present time, it was not found possible to erect a manual-training building at Kaikoura with the funds in sight, but as a temporary arrangement the Kaikoura County Council has granted the use of the old library. The, work of fitting this up is now in progress, and the building should be ready for occupation at the beginning of next year. At Hokitika a new woodwork building has been erected, and considerable alterations have been made to the cookery and science rooms, all of which enable the work to be earned out under more ideal conditions than formerly. This is now an important centre, and pupils are conveyed from all the surrounding schools to receive instruction. At the Amberley centre classes have been carried on in the past under great disadvantages, as only one room is available for both woodwork and cookery, but a grant has been obtained from the Department, and a new woodwork-room is to be, erected forthwith, the local, association contributing .€5O towards the cost. An attempt has also been made to have a woodwork-room erected at Oxford, as the woodworkroom there is far too small and inconvenient for the carrying-on of the classes. This is considered one of the most important smaller centres, as it caters for a large number of small schools situated in the backblocks. The increased attendance at the Christohuroh centres had made it extremely difficult to dovetail in the classes and cater for all the pupils offering. Although a, grant has been approved for the erection of a building at Phillipstown, the matter is still delayed, as the Department has decided that the building shall be erected as a separate unit and not as the, nucleus of the Phillipstown Main School.

E.—2.

To relieve the tension for the year 1920 it is proposed to fit up a temporary building alongside the Normal School, where the, overflow from the cookery classes will be taught. Profiting from the experience of the epidemic, a short syllabus in home nursing was added to the syllabus for cookery. This part of the instruction was very popular with the girls, and no doubt the instruction received will be turned to good account later on. Swimming and life-saving classes at the different centres received due attention, but most of the instruction was given by outsiders. An attempt to form swimming and life-saving classes for teachers in Cliristchurch met with very little support. Agriculture. —About 240 schools now take, elementary agriculture as a school subject, and there is distinct evidence to show that- some very fine experimental work has been done. The McFarlane Shield in the northern part of the district and the Hurdley Shield for the southern part were, the means of producing a great deal of enthusiasm and healthy rivalry among the different schools taking agriculture. The Board also gave substantial prizes for potato-growing competitions, and a number of agricultural and horticultural societies in the district gave a. good deal of encouragement to the work by including classes for competition in their schedules, and bringing the pupils into close touch with the beauties and bounties of nature. The periodical visits of Board members to different schools also did a great deal to stimulate pupils, teachers, and committeemen, and make them take more interest in their work. In spite of the great difficulties still laboured under, a marked improvement is apparent in the work on the Coast. This is largely due to the appointment of a permanent instructor at Greymouth. He has created a great deal of enthusiasm in connection with the work where very little existed before. Rural courses of instruction were taken at Waimate, Temuka, Pleasant Point, Geraldine, Hokitika, Greymouth, Darfield, Lincoln, Kaiapoi, Oxford, Kaikoura, Akaroa, and South bridge, with an attendance of about 214 pupils. It is a significant fact that the number taking this course for examination purposes is on the increase. The restricted railway service did much to militate against the success of this part of the work during the greater part of the year, as it was found to be almost- impossible to provide a means of conveying pupils and instructors to th<' different centres during the winter months. SOUTH LAND. Extract from the Report of the Director oe Manual and Technical Instruction. Elementary Handwork. —The number of schools that received instruction in handwork throughout the year was 175, the, subjects taken being principally plasticine-modelling, paper-folding, card-board-work, pastel-work, and brushwork. Though less difficulty was experienced than in the previous year in obtaining the necessary materials, yet in some instances supplies were still unobtainable. Unfortunately, too, visions of a considerable reduction in the. cost oi supplies did not materialize, and any improvement in this direction seems farther off than ever. With the prospect of still larger quantities of material being now needed to meet the increased requirements of the new syllabus, the necessity for an alteration in the rates of capitation becomes still more imperative. Needlework- In thirteen schools having no female teacher on the staff instruction in needlework was given by special sewing mistresses, the average attendance of girls thus receiving instruction being 118. In forty-three schools recognized classes in advanced needlework were, held, the average attendance being 791. Woodwork and Cookery. —Instruction in these subjects was given during the year at Invercargill (two centres), Gore, and Riverton, children from all schools within a reasonable distance of the railway being brought into one or other of these centres. Altogether there were forty-five primaryschool classes in woodwork, and forty-four in cookery, forty schools attending at the Invercargill centres, twenty-one at Gore, and thirteen at Riverton. In addition three classes in each subject attended the, Gore centre from the local high school. The number of children eligible to attend showed an increase over the figures for the previous year, and in fact exceeded the number for which provision could be made. Children from Standard IV were therefore, eliminated in the case of some country schools, and if the same rate of increase is maintained it is evident that in a short time there will be no room for any Standard IV children. The exclusion of such children, however, will undoubtedly result in the work being carried on with much greater efficiency, as experience has proved that, in the great majority of cases, children in this standard are too young to derive full advantage from such courses of instruction, except where conditions permit of Standard TV children being grouped by themselves under an instructor free to give them undivided attention. Towards the end of the year a commencement was made with the erection of an additional woodwork-room and a cookery-room at the rear of the new Manual-training School in Invercargill, the old residence in which a temporary cookery-room had been fitted up and had done duty for some time having to be pulled down to make room for the extensions. The completion of these rooms by the middle, of this year will give a compact up-to-date double centre, and enable all work to be, carried on under ideal conditions. During the, period of the restricted train service the work of the, classes was in some cases very much interferred with, the period available between the arrival and the departure of trains being very short—so much so, that in the case of certain schools work had to be, discontinued altogether. The resumption of the, normal service, therefore, towards the end of the, year was very much appreciated. Agriculture. Recognized classes in agriculture were conducted at 1.09 schools, the average attendance being 1,538. On the whole, the garden-work was not quite as satisfactory as in previous years, the long vacation due, to the influenza epidemic being responsible for many gardens at the beginning of the year being in such a condition that the, outdoor experimental work was valueless, and in many cases nothing could be done, but to dig the plots over. In last year's report gratification

was expressed at the. fact that greater interest was being taken in the beautifying and improving of school-grounds, and it is pleasing to report that this awakened interest is being well maintained. Unfortunately; in some cases the dearth of labour prevented more being done in this direction. That the facilities afforded by the Department in the, way of securing assistance by way of subsidies on contributions are, becoming more widely availed of is evidenced by the fact that during the year nontributions towards improvements to school gardens and grounds were received to the amount of £619. There are still however, it must be admitted, too many schools in which little or nothing has been done in the way of improving the surroundings and rendering them attractive to the children who have, to spend so much of their time there. In the, hands of the, enthusiastic teacher backed up by an energetic Committee, there is no reason why the school-grounds should not become the show place of the district. That they can become such we know already from splendid examples, but their number, alas, is all too small. Once again the Board has to express its indebtedness to the local manure-merchants for liberal donations of fertilizer for distribution amongst schools receiving instruction in agriculture. Ever since the first appointment of an agricultural instructor the Board has had the services of such instructor for only four days per week for primary-school classes. It is becoming more and more evident, however, that to maintain efficient supervision over the work being carried on throughout such a scattered district it is essential that the full time of the instructor should be devoted to this work ; but as practically all eligible schools have already included this subject in their curricula, and only with difficulty can the, present expenditure in this connection be met out of the capitation earned, it is clear that to meet the increased outlay that would be entailed by employing a full-time instructor the capitation upon which the income from the classes depends must be materially increased, or in lieu thereof a, special grant should be received sufficient to cover all reasonable expenditure. Physical Measurements. Classes in this subject were conducted at nine schools, the average attendance being altogether 324. Swimming and Life-saving.- In only one school did a class in this subject complete its course. Other classes commenced but were unable to complete, because of adverse weather conditions. In this connection, as far as town schools are concerned, the lack of baths of any description where swimming can be indulged in is a serious drawback. Were such facilities available town and suburban schools at least would be, independent of the weather, and practically every boy and girl would be only too eager to become profficient in an art that has so much to commend it. The following table, shows the number of schools at which classes were held in the various subjects, together with the average attendance for each :-

No. 2. EXTRACTS PROM THE REPORTS OK PRINCIPALS OF TRAINING COLLEGES. AUCKLAND. (H. G. Cousins, Esq., M.A., Prinoipal.) The session began on the 3rd March, and the College, was closed on the Ist November in order to allow for alterations to be made to the building. Subsequently it, was decided not to carry out this proposal, but to erect a new building on another site. The number of students in College during the year, as set out in the following table, showed a considerable increase on the numbers for preceding years, especially in the case of the men : —

Returned Soldiers acting as Supernumerary Teachers.

It has been customary for a number of students (Division A) to leave College with the permission of the Board at the end of one year's training. This year it is gratifying to note that only two students have sought, this concession, a result chiefly attributable, I think, to the increased allowances now payable to students. , . , ~,, . „ Of more importance than the number of students admitted to College, is the general character and qualifications of those, who come to be trained. Although those, who enter the. College have, been able, to fulfil tin; various requirements of the regulations, there is a most striking difference in fitness for the teacher's work between the finest and the .weakest of the entrants. For some years there has been a scarcity of teachers, and consequently little competition for entrance to the profession. It is to be desired that soon this condition will disappear and eagerness to enter the profession become keener so that a selection will be possible from a, large number of applicants formally qualified. Among the new students of 1919 were a number showing considerable promise, especially some of the men, who are likely to make their mark in their profession. The alterations in the building that were effected in January last have proved very satisfactory, but the total accommodation is quite insufficient for the number of students in College, and will be so until the new building is erected. This congestion, that is at present unavoidable, makes the organization of the work very difficult. The want of a criticism-room proved very inconvenient, but a way was found to minimize the difficulty, and good work was done by means of model lessons taken in the social hall. The practical training of the students was carried out more effectively this year probably, than ever before, an increase in staff making it possible to supervise and co-ordinate the work more' thoroughly than heretofore. Following is the plan that was followed :— The lectures in the principles and history of education aimed not only at giving a sound knowledge of the fundamental principles, but also were designed to stimulate thought and evoke professional enthusiasm. Expression was given to this by discussions (in which the students keenly participated) following lectures on the method of teaching the various subjects of the curriculum. These lectures were given by the, Acting-Principal, the headmaster, and the deputy headmaster. In each case the, lecturer gave an exposition of the practical application of the principles enunciated, in the form of a model lesson, before the students to one of the classes from the Normal School. As two lessons a week were given in this way, the students had excellent opportunity for formulating their ideas on the way to handle the particular subject being dealt with, especially as a critical discussion followed each model lesson. This method of bringing theory and practice closely into touch offers a very valuable training to the student, and the discussions offer scope for originality. Each halfterm a student is attached to one of the classes in the Normal School (or the associated school, Richmond Road) for a period of five, weeks. During this period he attends at this class from Monday morning to Thursday mid-day each week (three days and a half), and is expected to master the

various details of the class-work as far as the time will allow. During the first two weeks he observes the lessons given by the class-teacher, taking notes of these, and also makes a record of the equipment, rioting the books in the class library, copying the time-table, commenting on the ventilation, &c. For the remaining three weeks he practises teaching in this class under the criticism of the class-teacher or one of the other members of the staff • e.g., the headmaster. Sufficient time is allowed for the thorough preparation of the lessons, and advice and guidance are, available as necessary. A good critic teacher quickly notes the strength and weakness of the students he is training, and tactfully leads their efforts in the direction desired. At the end of the period each critic teacher writes a report on the student, who has it communicated to him in the Principal's room. Each student has three such periods of practical training each year, so that during a full course of two years he comes into close touch with the work of six classes. The value of the practical training of students has been considerably limited by the insufficiency of opportunity for practice in the work of model country schools. The two attached to the Normal School are, quite insufficient for the, purpose. Once a week the students engaged in the, practical part of their training as described above are called together in College to discuss the success and failure, of their efforts and the causes underlying them. By a plan of alternation for first- and second-year students about half the students arc engaged in lecture and study work in College during the. half-term while the others are engaged in practical teaching. This year it was possible, with an increased staff to subdivide a number of the classes so as to accomplish better individual training. The result was very satisfactory. The year's work showed an improved spirit, the unsettling effect of war being no longer a disturbing factor. History and physiography were added to the curriculum, not because of any requirement of the regulation, but because of the need for a very much improved knowledge of these subjects on the part of most of our students. The result has been very satisfactory, especially in history, in which subject a keen interest was shown. Although some, students failed to make good use of the opportunities offered for attendance at suitable courses of University lectures, much benefit was derived by a great number from steady study in this direction. The change, of regulations which for the first time made it possible for students to keep terms and sit for a first section of a degree in two subjects only has been distinctly to the advantage, of this College. To master three or four subjects for the degree examination and at the same time satisfactorily fulfil the requirements of the Training College course requires considerable ability, much self-discipline, and more than ordinary strength and grit. Under the new conditions a greater number of Training College students will win a first section, and thereby be encouraged to win the, full degree. As the result of the, degree examinations held in November last are not yet to hand, it is not possible to report on the success of the year's work in this respect, but the prospects are very bright. Probably the results will be such as to foster in incoming students a desire to follow a University course. The physical health of the students has not been very good this year, and there seems little doubt that last year's epidemic of influenza has left its mark. The College was much indebted to Doctors McGahan and Sands, who took a keen interest in the health of the students and attended frequently on Saturday mornings to give advice to those young ladies who were not well. A series of lectures on the medical aspect of school-work was given by Dr. Sands, who also went, to considerable trouble to train all the outgoing students practically in the medical examination of schoolchildren. As usual, tin; College showed a keen interest in sport. Four ladies' hockey teams, three basketball teams, and three men's hockey teams took part in the local weekly competitions, the ladies winning the championship in the first and second grades. The men also took part in several football and cricket matches, Tennis was keenly played as far as opportunity allowed. Owing to the early closing of College, there was less opportunity than usual for swimming, especially as the early season was rather cold. Following the usual practice, we paid a number of visits of observation with a view to broadening the educational outlook. This year, Mount Eden, the Jubilee Institute for the Blind, the Museum, the Art Gallery, the sugar-refinery, and the H.M.C.S. "Iris" were all visited. Our Saturday peripatetic parties were largely attended and proved very enjoyable. St. Helier's Bay, Blockhouse Bay, Mangerc Mountain, and Rangitoto were visited in turn. In November a party of about fifty students paid a visit to Ruakura State, Farm, boarding in Hamilton and visiting the farm daily. Three very pleasant and profitable days were thus spent in enlarging our ideas in a practical way in regard to the various phases of farm-work. The College was indebted to Mr. Green, the farm-manager, and his assistants for the valuable lessons they gave, and the generous kindness which with they assisted us in many ways. WELLINGTON. (J. S. Tbnnant, Esq., M.A., Principal.) The College opened on the 25th February, and closed on the 11th December, giving a working year of thirty-nine weeks, divided into two terms. This arrangement of the session has many disadvantages, therefore a conference, was held in October, at which representatives of the schools and colleges in Wellington were represented, and it was agreed by all to adopt the three-term system, and as far as possible to synchronize all vacations.

The total roll for the year was 155, this number being made up as follows : Senior student?, 69 ; junior students, 86. Of these 31 were men and 124 women. Division A numbered 123 ; Division B, 24 ; Division C, 4 ; Division I), 1. Of those in Division A, 48 had been pupil-teachers and 75 had been probationers. There were 1 1 returned soldiers on the roll, of whom 4 had had no previous experience in teaching. The various districts were represented as follows: Wellington, 61; Wanganui, 4-3; Hawke's Bay, 22 ; Taranaki, 15 ; Marlborough, 1 ; Nelson, 8 ; Canterbury, 2 ; Otago, 1 ; Auckland, 2: total, 155. The continually recurring problem of accommodation was more acute than ever, owing to the larger numbers and the congestion in Wellington consequent on the return of thousands of soldiers from active service. The Friends' Hostel accommodated forty, the Women Students' Hostel, fortyone, and the Y.W.C.A. sixteen, thus leaving twenty girls to find lodgings in private, boarding-houses. The men had to shift for themselves. In March a deputation from the Education Board and the Council of Victoria College waited on the Minister of Education and pointed out the fact that no official provision was made for the accommodation of students, and that consequently there was much unnecessary wastage of money, energy, and that corporate spirit so valuable in the training of the youth of a country, and of teachers most particularly. The attendance at University lectures was as follows: English, 45; Latin, 16; French, 17; philosophy, 65; education, 71; history, 12; economies, 7; mathematics, 15; biology, 14; chemistry, 3 ; physics, 3 ; geology, 2. This gave an average of 1.-7 classes per student. The results of this work were that the following class passes were gained : First, 15 ; second, 96 ; third, 138. Although education has been a " pass " subject for the B.A. degree for the last thirteen years, no provision has yet been made to allow teachers to present it as a subject for honours or the M.A. degree. This fact places the teaching profession (which provides the groat majority of the University students) at a disadvantage academically, and is further a very distinct loss to the Dominion, in that the best intelligence in the profession is devoted to such subjects as Latin, philosophy, or economics, where much of it might be utilized in dealing with the. living problems of the school. I can imagine no academic reform which would have, such a far-reaching effect in raising the professional standard of the teaching-power in tin; country, which should most naturally look to the Univesrity for assistance in directing its educational policy. Seventy-three students completed their course of training in December last, and the joint results of the various departmental examinations and the Training College recommendatious were as follows : D and partial 0 certificate, 17 ; C certificate, 46 ; B certificate, 5; A. certificate, 1. Many of these young teachers, who have now officially severed their connection with the College, have gone, to positions where the circumstances of location, staffing, &c, will exclude them from professional assistance, other than that obtained from a very hard worked headmaster or the rare visits of a busy Inspector. However good the material, these conditions must make for the, inevitable groove, just when it is most important to infuse those enthusiasms without which a teacher's work can only be half done. For this reason the training colleges are unanimous in advocating some system of post-college probationership, whereby students could spend their first teaching-years in specially selected schools. Though the, new school at Kelburn was supposed to be ready for occupation in February, it was not opened until. June. As no suitable accommodation could be found in the district (a large, marquee lent was tried), Standards 111, IV, V, and VI were placed in two rooms in the College building for five months. Owing to the large number of students and the number of temporary teachers it was found extremely difficult to provide, adequate teaching practice for the students ; this was met in part, however by the appointment of eight associate teachers. To supplement the physical training of the students one afternoon a week was set aside for games, and the whole. College adjourned to Karori Park, where a course of school games was carried out. The experiment so far has been extremely successful. The ordinary social life of the College was modified somewhat by war conditions, but both glee and dramatic clubs had very successful years, each giving several very interesting evenings. During the year a teachers' club was formed for the discussion of educational problems. As the meetings were held in the evenings, comparatively few students were able to attend regularly, but six meetings were held, and in addition to the valuable matter introduced they served to bring the College staff into much closer touch with the teachers and their views on the technical questions discussed. The, Department's physical instructors gave short courses of instruction to the, students in March and December. The Medical Inspector gave a course of lectures to students in March. CHRISTCHURCH. (.1. E. Purchase, Esq., M.A., Principal.) In February, 1919, sixty-four students had completed one year's training and there were sixtysix entrants, making a total of 130 students in training, twenty-two of whom were young men and 108 young women. The number of male students is larger than in previous years, as the demand for military service has now ceased and pupil-teachers are able without interruption to enter the Training College for a further period of training. Still, the number of men, 17 per cent., is too small to satisfy the demand for male teachers, and it is to be regretted that so few are offering for the profession. It is to be hoped that the, increased remuneration now being paid will tend to improve the position in this respect.

[Appendix D-

The students entering College are generally of a very desirable type, and most of them should become very successful teachers. One can feel assured with regard to the great majority of these students that the future of the profession can be safely entrusted to them in the confidence that they will do efficient service. The number of students of Division B is small, a fact that cannot lie regretted while our accommodation is so limited. B students, although at first somewhat handicapped, invariably make very rapid progress, and soon acquire confidence and teaching ability of no mean order. Indeed, I doubt if it would be possible, after they have been a while in the service to distinguish them from those who have had pre-college experience. The work for the professional training of the students has continued as heretofore, the standard of work being the teachers' C certificate. Practice in teaching and observation is made as liberal as possible. Students who give promise of scholastic success are encouraged to attend lectures at Canterbury College, and every facility consistent with their training as teachers is afforded them to prosecute their studies with the object of obtaining a University degree. Those who do attend acquit themselves creditably. Members of the teaching staff have expressed themselves in pleasing terms regarding the ability and energy of Training College students. In the Training College itself the course of instruction has proceeded very much as in previous years. The congestion of work and the consequent overloading due to a reduced staff has been overcome by the appointment of a VicePrincipal and an Assistant Lecturer. Probably the greatest difficulty we have to contend with is to provide sufficient practice in teaching for the increasing number of students in training. While acknowdedging the value of observation of lessons taught by expert teachers, 1 am increasingly impressed by the necessity of giving more practice in actual teaching. The handling of a group of children, the experience and overcoming of difficulties under the sympathetic guidance of a good staff teacher, should be permitted the students as frequently as possible. For this reason I strongly recommend the establishment of another normal or practising school in close, connection with the College, so that increased teaching facilities will bo provided under the best conditions. Through the kindness of the Director of the School for the Deaf the senior students spent a morning in the class-rooms of this institution watching the teachers with great patience and skill endeavouring to overcome the, tremendous difficulties of their work. In the afternoon the students listened to a very interesting and instructive address delivered by the Principal, who explained the methods adopted, and illustrated the principles on which their teaching was based. This was one of the most valuable, lessons of the year, and was keenly appreciated by the visiting students. The problem of finding homes for such a large, number of students is usually a serious one, and this difficulty will be accentuated as the numbers increase. Coniion Hall, the Canterbury College Hostel, Bishopscourt, and the Y.W.C.A. accommodate many of our students, though not as many as are desirous of entering. The majority of the students are in private homes, and this year did not find much trouble in obtaining lodgings. Soldier students who returned during the war were all placed in schools convenient to the Training College and Canterbury College, and every facility was given to enable them to settle down quickly to civil life. Their studies were mapped out for them, and in practically every case satisfactory progress was made. Some have now completed their course and an; seeking permanent employment ; others will continue as supplementary teachers for a further period. DUNEDIN. (E. Pindeb, Esq., M.A., Principal.) The number that went out at the end of 1918 was fifty-seven viz., eight men and forty-nine women —of whom one man and nine women had taken a one-year course of training, the others two years. The certificates gained by these were as follows : Two gained the B certificate, thirty-four full C, four qualified for C on condition of completing their partial D, and sixteen gained partial C ; of those who partially qualified for C, seven had D and four partial D. In University work the students who left at the end of last year had the following record : Two completed the B.A. degree, four took the first section of 8.A., three, passed B.A. Proficiency in two subjects, and two passed it in one subject, these counting towards the B certificate. There were present at the end of this year —Second-year students, fourteen men and thirty-five women ; total, forty-nine ; first-year students, fifteen men and sixty-three women ; total, seventyeight. University results this year, so far as are known, are as follows (this work also includes College work in English, education, and home science, which are done by the University and paid for by the Department) : Twelve first-class certificates in term examinations, seventy second class, 140 third class ; two students kept four years' terms, four kept three years' terms, twelve kept two years' terms, and eighteen kept one-year terms. Of the students who have kept terms, one sat for Honours (M.A.), three sat for second section of 8.A., twenty-one sat for first section of 8.A., and one sat for first section of B.Sc. Twenty-six students thus took degree work during their term in addition to the ordinary C work ; the, remaining 121 took C work. The proportion of students taking University work as well as the ordinary College work is therefore f : 4-7. The, results of those who sat for degree; work will not be known till next year, and will be published as usual in next year's report. lam pleased to record that two of our students gained University Scholarships this year. In my opinion, the work of the College has been satisfactorily carried on during the year. The staff has worked loyally ; there has been a good spirit of work among the students, and there has

been plenty of social enjoyment, and a complete absence of any jarring or ill-feeling. The students have governed their own affairs through their association, the various athletic clubs have been well supported, and the College magazine has been published by their own efforts and money. With regard to the general welfare of the College, I suppose there is no use reiterating the old complaints that there is insufficient accommodation, insufficient country school practice, and that the absence of hostel accommodation for the women at least is a great defect: but I mention them again so that it will, not be, thought that they are remedied. I recognize that things arc progressing, and that some day soon improvement will take place. The matter of accommodation is a serious one. There will be, fifty more women next year than this year. Board is Increasingly expensive, and hard to get, and many who supply board are unwilling to take in women. The position is a serious one and must, be faced. There is always a tendency on the part of students to prefer cheaper lodgings, and the result is that too many are put in a room. They have to put up with vulgar or inconsiderate landladies, and often have to shift lodgings at short notice. The only remedy is a college hostel where consideration and good conditions will be guaranteed. When it is done it must be done generously. A cheeseparing policy in providing it would not make things very much better. The question of increased College accommodation for two hundred students in a building that was planned for eighty is to be faced, and 1 understand that the Board and the Department are now considering it. A matter that inevitably comes up is the question of the College course. The regulations make the course an extremely full one for any student who undertakes work of a standard higher than the C certificate. I have pointed out before that the College course is the only opportunity most teachers have, of obtaining higher certificate qualifications, since such work must for most students be done at the University. It is advisable also that our teachers have, as far as possible, that standing in the educational world which a University course confers. Then, again, for men promotion to the higher positions increasingly and inevitably demands University qualifications. But practically all who go in for the teaching profession are unable to afford University work after their College course is finished —they are forced to press on with it in their two-years course. I think the Department should offer a third or even a fourth year to those students who have proved themselves worthy. This would have two good results—it would ease the pressure caused by both University and College work elbowing each other, and it would provide, a supply of teachers with superior qualifications from whom to draw in future. It would also react favourably on the general level of professional attainment. If there was a proper higher Agricultural|College in the Dominion this scheme could also be used to provide: a supply of trained agricultural instructors. On the question of training of teachers generally, it seems to me that, with the extension of Training College work, the position of instruction in secondary schools and home-science work should be considered. At present, in spite, of the fact that provision is made in the regulations for the admission of graduates of the, Training College for one year on the same terms as ex-pupil-teachers, little advantage is taken of the privilege. Practically all secondary and home-science teachers go to their work untrained as teachers. Either they do not know of the opportunity for training or circumstances are such as to bring no pressure to bear on them to take, advantage of it. It would be quite simple, with the increase of accommodation and staff that is contemplated, to arrange for the professional training of such students. At present such teachers go to their work, which is teaching, prepared in everything except the art, of teaching.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF SCHOOL MEDICAL OFFICER. Slß,— Wellington, 30th June, 1920. At the commencement of PJI9 there were six School Medical Officers, all women. During the year one resigned to be married. By the end of the year the number of officers had increased to ten, four of these being men. Since, the inauguration of the system for the medical inspection of schools there lias never been such a large proportion of men on the, medical staff. Although the immediate reason for this in most cases has been that on returning from war service medical men were disinclined again to take up private practice, yet it augurs well for the school medical work that men as well as women are entering tint service. The number of school nurses was increased during the year from eleven to fifteen. This increase has enabled much more thorough work to be done and the Medical Officers' services to be used to greater advantage. The work of physical education has been carried on in a satisfactory manner throughout the Dominion. The staff of physical instructors was increased from eleven to twelve during the year. .Particular attention has been given to the special corrective classes for the treatment of children with certain deformities and defects. The benefits resulting from those classes, and also from the general physical training when adequately carried out, are often remarkable. Since the introduction of the breathing exercises, which form part of the system, the. incidence of nasal obstruction, for instance, has notably diminished. During the year 1,100 schools were, visited by physical instructors, and the drill of about 85,000 children was inspected. Games and recreational exercises have become very popular with the, children, and as a result better school-work is done. The students of Training Colleges are given regular instruction in physical education, and are finally sent out with a good working knowledge of the subject. Refresher classes for teachers have been held in a few instances. There appears to be a general need for refresher classes, as many teachers still have little, knowledge of the subject. It is also felt that an extension of the time allotted in the curriculum for physical training should be increased from fifteen to twenty minutes, which is the, time given to it in England. Owing to the fact that the, medical branch, until the end of 1919, had no professional supervisor, the Medical Officers have worked to a certain extent on different lines. Most, however, have examined Standard II as a routine, It has been the rule to examine as many as possible of the schools of Grade TV A and upwards. At the end of 1918 there were 318 such schools and 2,047 smaller ones. In the year 1919 a total of 70-1 schools was visited. It would at first sight appear that the Grade IVa limit had been passed, but it has not been uniformly so throughout the Dominion. In Wellington Province, for instance, the Grade IVa school was not always reached. This has been due to the, fact that the districts allotted to Medical Officers have been of widely different, sizes. Another cause of discrepancy has been due to there being three different methods of examining the children of a school : (I) The routine more-or-less-complete examination, and reporting of results, usually confined to Standard II ; (2) the examination of specially selected children ; (3) the partial examination of children — i.e., those parts most subject to defect- -the mouth, throat, &c. According as one or other method has been more strongly emphasized by the individual Medical Officer, the number of schools visited and the number of children examined has varied. During the year a total of about 30,000 children was examined in the routine manner, and in addition a much larger number of children were specially or partially examined. It should be, the aim of the Department to have every child medically examined, say, every two years, and dentally inspected much more frequently. Until tint year 1919 over one-third of the children had been in schools not visited by Medical Officers, and in the. schools visited one or two standards only had been thoroughly examined. For thorough ihspectional work a large increase in staff will be, required, but by devoting more attention to educative, and preventive methods the, need for the inspectional work will gradually become less. In their reports all Medical Officers concur in emphasizing the urgent need for a, scheme of dental treatment. Signs of the, commencement of such a scheme towards the end of the year 1919 mark the dawn of a new era in the medical inspection of New Zealand school-children. Although, especially in the back country, it has appeared futile, to spend time reporting defects for which there was no obtainable remedy, yet it must be recorded to the great credit of those lady Medical Officers who have been in the service practically from its inception that in some city schools the number of children having fillings in their teeth has increased from 9 per cent, in 1914 to 40 per cent in 1919. The system of medical inspection is now thoroughly welcomed by teachers, and is becoming increasingly appreciated by the public generally. Notes from parents protesting against the, examination of their children, though frequent in earlier days, are now almost entirely replaced by requests for special examinations. The secret of this change has been the getting into personal touch with the parents themselves. This has been made increasingly possible by thtt appointment of the school nurse. Some of the Medical Officers have made, a practice recently of inviting the parents to be present at the examination of their children. The response to the, invitations has been very encouraging, and, although this makes the work much more arduous, the scheme has been very generally successful in ensuring that defects art; attended to and advice acted upon. Another matter upon which the School Medical Officers are generally agreed is the need for specialist treatment of defects of the nose, throat, ear, and eye. Next to dental disease these defects are the commonest, and there is often groat difficulty in obtaining the necessary treatment. In many country districts this treatment is practically unprocurable, and even in some of the large centres the hospital facilities are wholly inadequate. This lack of opportunity for treatment is the greatest barrier in the way of further progress and greater effectiveness of the medical inspection of school-children. The first step towards the solution of this difficulty is, in my opinion, the replacing of honorary by paid specialist hospital staffs. When adequate hospital treatment of this kind is provided, there is still a large class of people who, while not altogether dependent upon charitable hospital treatment, are yet unable to pay the fees for private medical and dental treatment. For these the distaste-fulness of the inquiry into their financial position necessary to the obtaining of free hospital treatment often constitutes an impediment in the way of the necessary treatment being provided. Before leaving the subject of treatment I might state that there is a general willingness on the part of parents to do their best, and that in those cases of prejudice and apathy in parents who persistently neglect to have serious defects in their childern attended to, it has boon doomed wiser to depend rather upon tactful persuasion and the gradual gaining of their co-operation, and, for the present at any rate, not to adopt coercive methods.

Medical Officers report further development in the adoption of the organized " sit-down " school lunch and the provision of hot cocoa. The rest and adequate time for eating lunch has resulted in the children enjoying better digestion and greater clearness of brain in the, afternoon session. Tooth-brush drill, although beset with some practical difficulties, has also been more widely adopted. Teachers who have once tried it say that they would never give it vp —great improvement in the atmosphere of classrooms being one only of the beneficial results. One, Medical Officer has reported a remarkable reduction in the amount of inflammation and congestion in the children's throats, which was apparently attributable to no other cause but the removal of septic matter as a result of tooth-brush drill. The relation between dental disease and inflammatory conditions of the throat is already well established. Medical Officers report the inadequate provision in schools for the education of backward children and those with defective speech and hearing. This matter is, I understand, engaging the attention of the Department. There are reported to bo too many mentally defective children in the public schools, for whom other provision should be made. The subject of the excessive employment of children outside school-hours has been fully reported upon by some officers. In dairying districts it is remarkable how tired and sleepy the children are during school hours owing to the amount of farm-work performed by them in the early hours of the day. It has been humorously suggested that in some sohools it would bo a kindness to provide dormitories rather than class-rooms. Certainly, in the interests not only of the education but of the health of these children, it is important that during the years of active growth some restriction of the amount of work performed by them, should be imposed. While further provision for treatment is the most immediately urgent, the most important need is for prevention. To provide the treatment for a defect is not to remove its cause. It may bo safely said that the causes of the commonest and at the same time the most serious defects found in children are known, and that their removal is practicable. Up to the present comparatively little has been done to educate the public on these matters. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the general public is lamentably ignorant of the rudimentary principles of the healthy upbringing of children. As most of the defect and poor health in school-children is duo to causes operating in the pro-school period, no system which concerns itself only with children of school ago can effectively deal with the problems of child-health. An elaborate and costly scheme of dental treatment, for instance, is now being instituted by the Department, the work of which will bo endless unless fundamental causes are dealt with. The causes of dental disease, the most widespread and far-reaching of all defects, are dietetic, and operate mainly from birth onwards. Not to deal in a most thorough and comprehensive manner with the first six years of life, when the foundations of the future citizen's physique are being laid, is, even from the limited point of view of the Government's expenditure, and much more so from the standpoint of adult national efficiency, like maintaining the proverbial hospital at the foot of a precipice instead of erecting a fence at the top. In the building of a child's physique the first six years are of much greater importance than those of the school-going period. The effect of errors of nutrition in these early years can never in later life be wholly remedied. If satisfactory child-welfare, work is to bo accomplished it is imperative that an organized supervision of the pre-school period be instituted. In infancy and early childhood there is an appalling wastage of human life and health which the Government is vainly attempting to cope with at a later ago when the results of error and .malnutrition are more permanently established, and consequently more difficult to remedy or often completely irremediable. The pro-school period is for practical purposes, divided into two parts- infancy, or the first one and a half to two years, and the period from two to six years. In the infancy period irreproachable work is being done by the Plunket Society. This is in fact a unique organization, and is being quoted, in almost every country in the world as a modol in infant care. Its work, however, is not sufficiently widespread. The Plunket Society receives Government support in the form of a subsidy, but it will be necessary to effect a more complete linking-up and more active co-operation between its activities and those, of the school medical system. By an extension of the clinics and home-visiting work of the, Plunket nurses, by practical, mother-craft teaching to the older girls in school, and by more active general propaganda by Medical Officers specially suited for the work, the infancy period can, I think, be effectively dealt with. The intervening pre-school period can be approached by much the same methods, and through the increasing number of day and residential nurseries. These institutions would serve as media through which the children and consequently their parents could be reached. In general, much more prominence will require to be given to educative propaganda work —by articles in the Press, for instance, by the cinema, and by public lectures. A commencement has already been made through the Press, but further active propaganda by other methods is certainly needed. There is every indication of the hopefulness of such educational work. It is unquestionable that parents are interested in the health and well-being of their children, and that they are anxious for guidance in these matters. It has been unfortunate that up-to-date information on the subject has not been available to the public to the extent to which its importance warrants. As regards the children, 1 have given thirty or forty addresses to them in the schools, and have found them most receptive and eager to acquire information on the care of their health. I have no hesitation in saying that when taken in the right way there is no difficulty in inspiring the average school-child with enthusiasm for the cultivation of health and fitness. As regards the teaching of hygiene to school-children, this has been inadequate, mainly on account of. the teacher having insufficient guidance as to what to teach. There is no single book which contains the necessary up-to-date information It will bo necessary for the Department to issue a booklet on the health of children and its teaching in schools. In conclusion, I beg to emphasize that " the health of the people is a country's greatest asset," and that in childhood the most serious problems of national health arc to be solved. In New Zealand 60 per cent, of the adult male population recruited under the ballot system were not even in moderately fair health. The New Zealand birthrate is 24 per 1,000, the Japanese 34 per 1,000. In spite of the fact that New Zealand has the lowest infant mortality in the world, nearly eight hundred infants die here every year in their first year of life, and nearly eighteen hundred children die every year before they are five years old—that is, five every day ! This wastage of life is small as compared with the wastage of health and efficiency in those who grow up. The health of the people has become one of the most urgent and vital problems, and upon its successful solution depends not only our national prosperity, but even the future existence of our race.
