SECONDARY EDUCATION. 1. EXTRACT FROM THE FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. Number of Schools. (Table Kl.) Schools affording education of a secondary nature are established in every centre of any importance in the Dominion, and are of the following types: Secondary schools, technical high schools, district high schools, private secondary schools, and Maori secondary schools. The majority of the district high schools are in the country centres, the secondary schools and technical high schools being in the larger towns and cities. The secondary schools, which are under the control of twenty-seven separate controlling authorities, may be classed as follows : — (a.) Endowed secondary schools included in the Ninth Schedule to the Education Act, 1914 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 32 (b.) Secondary schools without endowments established in the manner provided by section 88 of the Education Act, 1914 .. .. .. .. 4 (c.) Endowed secondary schools within the meaning of the Act, but not included above . . .. . . . . .. .. .. 2 Total .. .. .. .. .. .. ..38 Of the thirty-eight secondary schools, twelve are for boys, twelve for girls, and ten are mixed schools. Four of the schools under (a) are not in operation— namely, Akaroa, Greymouth, Hokitika, and Waimate. At these places secondary education is carried on in the secondary departments of district high schools, to which the High School Boards supply some financial assistance. The number of district high schools in 1919 was sixty, technical high schools nine, Maori secondary schools ten, and private secondary schools registered under the Education Act, 1914, twenty-one, making a total of one hundred and thirtyfour schools affording secondary education. One secondary department of a district high school was converted into a technical high school, and one secondary department of a district high school was disestablished during the year. Roll and Attendance. (Tables Kl, K2, LI, and L2.) The total number of pupils attending the thirty-four secondary schools included under (a), (b), and (c) above at the end of 1918 and 1919 respectively was — , 1918. , , 1919. , Boys. Girls. Totals.

The number of first-year , pupils was 359 more than in 1918. The following are some of the figures in. connection with the roll and attendance of schools in which secondary education is given : — (a.) Secondary Schools (Lower Departments excluded).

Of 10,639 children who left the primary schools having passed S6 in 1918, 1,458 entered the secondary departments of district high schools, 3,735 secondary schools, and 1,521 technical high schools ; hence a total of 6,714 children, or 63 per cent, of those who left the primary schools having passed S6, in 1918, or 44 per cent, of the whole number that left school in that year, entered upon an education of a secondary nature at one of the types of school mentioned. In addition to those enumerated, 2,687 children proceeded from the primary schools to evening technical classes. Of these 1,798 had passed. Sβ and 889 had not done so. The average length of stay of boys at secondary schools (group (a) above) is two years and ten months, and of girls two years and eight months. The following figures show the percentage of children leaving the secondary schools at the stages indicated : —- Boys. Girls. (a.) Percentage leaving at end of first year or during second year 23 26 (b.) ~ second „ third „ 23 25 (c.) „ third „ fourth „ ..19 20 (d.) „ fourth „ fifth „ .. 23 20 (e.) ~ fifth ~ sixth „ .. 9 6 (/.) Percentage remaining at end of sixth year .. .. .. 3 3 The most regrettable fact apparent from the above figures is that one-quarter of the pupils entering secondary schools remain for only one year's tuition. As the curricula of secondary schools are framed with the view of at least a two-years course being taken, the instruction received by these pupils can be of little value. It is further noted that nearly another 25 per cent, of the pupils leave at the end of the second year, at the termination of their junior free places. In order that the greatest possible benefit may be obtained from this short period of secondary education, secondary schools, as a rule, now provide courses suitable for pupils leaving school at this stage. No appreciable increase in the average length of stay at secondary schools appears to have taken place during recent years, the larger numbers remaining for a longer period being merely in proportion to the increased roll numbers. Curriculum of Secondary Schools and District High Schools. (Tables Kl2 and L3.) Although there are no departmental regulations directly governing the curriculum of secondary schools, the regulations defining the subjects of instruction to be taught to free-place holders and the prescribed syllabuses of the various public examinations to a large extent control the character of the courses of work undertaken. Instruction must be provided for junior-free-place holders in English, history and civics, arithmetic, mathematics, a branch of science, and in two additional subjects which may be one or two foreign languages, science subjects, or some such subject as commercial work, woodwork, drawing, &c. The study of home science is compulsory for every girl holding a junior free place. In addition to the general or professional course, commercial, agricultural, and domestic courses are provided at most secondary schools. General courses designed for pupils remaining at school for a limited period and not following an academic career are also provided —the study of Latin and frequently of French, also, especially in the case of girls, of mathematics being excluded from these courses. From, an examination of the numbers of secondary-school pupils studying various subjects, it appears that Latin is now taken by only 55 per cent, of the boys and by 37 per cent, of the girls, while French is taken by 88 per cent, of the boys and by 94 per cent, of the girls. 719 boys, or 15 per cent., take agriculture as a subject,

E.-6

4

and 158, or 3 per cent., take dairy-work. Book-keeping and commercial work are taken by 35 per' cent, of the boys and by 20 per cent, of the girls. 64 per cent, of the girls were studying home science in 1919, while such subjects as needlework, cookery, home nursing, and laundry-work were taken by large numbers. The fact that some of the subjects mentioned are studied during only a portion of the time spent by a pupil at the secondary school results in a smaller percentage appearing to study such subjects than is actually the case. Courses bearing more or less on rural pursuits are taken in many district high schools, 69 per cent, of the boys and 32 per cent, of the girls studying agricultural science, 24 per cent, of the pupils taking dairy-work, 55 per cent, of the boys learning woodwork, and 52 per cent, of the girls cookery or needlework. Latin is taken by only 31 per cent, of the pupils, and French by 53 per cent. Commercial work is taken by 25 per cent, of the pupils. The task of providing courses for pupils desiring tuition in subjects of a more or less directly practical and vocational nature, and also for pupils wishing to follow a more academic course, constitutes the peculiar difficulty of district high schools where the number of pupils and the staffs are comparatively small. Hostels foe Pupils of Secondary Schools. (Table K.5.) The fact of large immbers of children having to live away from home while attending the secondary schools is making the provision of hostels where the pupils can be properly cared for and supervised increasingly necessary. A number of controlling authorities have recently established or enlarged hostels in connection with their schools, the Government assisting, where necessary, with substantial monetary grants. Of thirty-four schools twenty-six now have hostels attached to them providing accommodation for a total of 1,201 boys and 341 girls attending the secondary departments and for 248 lower-department pupils. In addition to these pupils, 841 are returned as boarding either in private establishments approved by the Principals of the schools or in entirely independent homes. To make satisfactory provision for these pupils and for others who are prevented by the boarding difficulty from attending school, or who are forced to make long railway journeys every day, new or enlarged hostels are required in many instances. The controlling authorities and the Government are giving attention to the matter, whieh, it is hoped, will gradually be satisfactorily dealt with. Free Secondary Education. (Table K4.) Free places are divided into two classes —junior and senior—both being tenable at secondary schools and district high schools, or, under somewhat different conditions, at technical schools. Generally speaking, junior free places are tenable for two years, with a possible extension in certain cases to three years. In the case of their being held at district high schools they are tenable to the age of seventeen. The means of qualification are — (1.) For entrance to secondary schools and district high schools— (a) Special examinations for Junior National Scholarships, (b) the certificate of proficiency. (2.) For entrance to technical high schools the means of qualification named in (1), or the certificate of competency in S6, with a special endorsement of merit in handwork and elementary science, which for the purposes of technical schools is deemed to be equivalent to a certificate of proficiency. (3.) For entrance to technical classes other than technical high schools the means of qualification named in (1) or (2), or , , under special conditions applicable to industrial courses only, a recommendation by the Inspector of Schools if a pupil is over fourteen years and has been in regular attendance at a public school up to a date not more than six months prior to the date of admission to the technical classes. Senior free places are tenable at secondary schools, district high schools, and technical high schools up to the age of nineteen, and at technical classes other than technical high schools for three or in some cases four years. The means of qualification for senior free places are the Intermediate or other equivalent examinations.

or the recommendation of the Principal or Director of the school or classes attended based on the school records and examination results, or the recommendation of an Inspector of secondary schools, or, in the case of district high schools, of the senior Inspector of the district, or in part on such a recommendation and in part on the results of a special examination. The provision for qualification for senior free places on the recommendation of the Principals of secondary schools is becoming increasingly applicable, the number receiving senior free places in this manner in 1919 being 1,793 ; the number represents about two thirds of the total number of senior free places awarded. In addition two pupils were granted partial exemption from examination, being required to submit to a test in English or arithmetic only. The following are some of the figures for 1918 and 1919 in regard to free places in secondary schools : — 1918. 1919.

Total annual payment by Government for free places £85,422 £111,062 In order to arrive at the total number of pupils in New Zealand receiving free secondary instruction, it will be necessary, however, to include also 104 holders of scholarships or exhibitions carrying free instruction not otherwise enumerated, which are granted by the secondary schools included above or by endowed secondary schools not coming under the conditions for free places, 2,015 free-place holders at district high schools, 90 Maori pupils receiving free education in Maori secondary schools, and 2,754 holders of free places in technical high schools. Consequently, there were approximately 12,620 pupils receiving free secondary education in the Dominion, exclusive of those holders of free places in technical schools (mostly evening students), who, while not taking full-day courses, were nevertheless receiving free educaton of secondary grade. The following table gives a summary of the various secondary free places in 1918 and 1919 for which payment was made by the Government: — Feee Places in December, 1918 and 1919. (i.)

(Sec also Tables K4 and L5.) National Scholarships. Junior and Senior National Scholarships, in the proportion of nine to five, are awarded by the Government on the results of annual examinations, the junior examination being of a standard somewhat higher than that of the certificate of proficiency, and the senior examination being of a standard comparable with the standard of the Public Service Entrance Examination. Scholarships are awarded to all candidates reaching a certain standard, the standard of award being determined so as approximately to provide one scholarship for every 500 children in attendance at all public schools. In the case of pupils from sole-teacher schools— i.e., schools with an average attendance of under thirty-six —the standard of award is made 10 per cent, lower than the general standard. The standard of qualification fixed Eor the 1919 examinations was 64 per cent, for junior scholarships (general standard) and G2 per cent, for senior scholarships.

The results of the examination were as follows : 217 candidates qualified for Junior National Scholarships, as compared with 214 in 1918, of which number 6 were pupils of sole-teacher schools, and 86 were pupils of secondary schools. The number of successful candidates from sole-teachers schools was again lower than in the previous year, and, as has been stated before, represents too small a proportion of the number of scholarships being won by pupils of small schools. The number of successful candidates from secondary schools, on the other hand, was greater than previously. The number of candidates qualifying for Senior National Scholarships was 122 ; of which number 6 qualified on the alternative programme provided specially to suit the needs of those taking a rural or domestic course. Junior and Senior National Scholarships are tenable at secondary schools and district high schools, each for three years, provided that the total tenure of the two scholarships in the case of one person must not exceed five years. In addition to tuition fees, the holder receives £5 per annum if a junior scholar, or £10 per annum if a senior scholar, with a further sum of £35 per annum in each case if obliged to live away from home. The figures below indicate the number and the value of scholarships current in December, 1918, and December, 1919, respectively. The number of scholarshipholders is, of course, included in the number of free-place holders shown in the preceding section. Number of scholarship-holders— 1918. 1019.

Private scholarships are derived from funds provided at certain schools by private donors, by bequest or otherwise. The number of foundation and private scholarships in the last term of 1919 was 150. Of the holders fifty-one were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total annual value of the scholarships in cash was £1,547. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and private scholarships to the value of £470, the value of the Government free places already mentioned not being included in this amount. War Bursaries for Soldiers' Dependants. Regulations which came into force in January, 1918, provided for the award of bursaries to dependants of killed or disabled members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. To qualify for a war bursary a child must be eligible for — (a.) Free education at technical classes ; or (6.) A free place at a secondary school, district high school, or technical high school; or (c.) A University or educational bursary at a University college. A bursary entitles the holder to an allowance, in addition to free tuition, of £l 10s. or £3 per annum in the case of those qualified under (a), £5 for those under (&), or £10 for those under (c). Lodging-allowance is also paid to bursars who are obliged to live away from home to attend school, at the rate of £15 per annum under (a) and £30 under (6) and (c) ; travelling-allowances varying from £5 to £10 per annum are also made when travelling is necessary. During 1919 the number of bursaries held at secondary schools was thirty-five, as compared with twenty-seven in 1918, the expenditure thereon being £524. Secondary-school Certificates. Three classes of certificates may be issued to free-place holders taking a secondary course of instruction. The intermediate certificate may be granted to junior-free-place holders who have satisfactorily completed under certain conditions a two-years course at a secondary school, district high school, or technical high

7

E.—6

school, and who in general are qualified in attainment to receive a senior free place. The lower leaving-certificate may be issued to pupils who have satisfactorily completed a three-years course of secondary instruction, including not less than one year of a senior course in which the standard of work is sufficiently advanced in character to meet the requirements of the examination for a teacher's certificate of Class D, or of the Matriculation Examination. Likewise the higher leavingcertificate may be granted to pupils having satisfactorily completed at least a fouryears course of secondary instruction and having satisfied the requirements of the lower leaving-certificate, and, in addition, having completed to good advantage and under certain conditions a further secondary course of not less than one year. Staffs of Secondary Schools. (Table K3.) The number of teachers on the staffs of secondary schools, excluding lower departments, was for the last three years as follows : — , 1917. i, , 1918. 1 , 1919. , Males. Females. Total. Males. Females. Tola). Males. Females. Total. Regular staff .. ..174 175 349 175 195 370 186 195 381 Part time .. ..37 43 80 42 43 85 74 74 The staffs of Wanganui Collegiate and Christ's College Grammar Schools, totalling twenty-nine teachers, have been excluded from the figures for 1919 ; the number of male teachers in 1919 was thus forty more than in the previous year, the number of women teachers remaining the same. The return to duty of teachers who had been on active service accounts for the unusual increase in the number of men teachers, the positions of many of whom had been held temporarily by women. Included in the regular staff for 1919 are thirty-two Principals and 349 assistant teachers. The average number of pupils per full-time assistant was twenty-four, the number ranging in the various schools from twenty-one to twenty-nine; including the Principals, the average number of pupils per teacher was twenty-two. The head teacher of a district high school generally takes some part in the secondary instruction, and now receives in addition to his ordinary salary the sum of £30 per annum if the average attendance of the secondary department does not exceed 120, and £50 per annum if it. does exceed that number. In 1919 there were in the secondary departments of district high schools 105 special secondary assistants —thirty-four men and seventy-one women-—the increase in the number of male assistants being thirteen, and the women assistants being one less in number than in the previous year. The average number of pupils per assistant teacher was twenty-one, as compared with twenty-four in the previous year. Salaries and Status of Secondary-school Teachers. (Table K3.) The total annual amount of salaries of teachers in secondary schools (excluding Wanganui. Collegiate and Christ's College Grammar Schools) as at the rate payable in December, 1919, was £126,694, as compared with £95,137 in 1918. The value of residences and of board and residence provided in a large number of cases is not included in this figure. The cost of the salaries works out at £14*8 per head of the average attendance, ranging in the various schools from £11-8 to £19-5. The cost in boys' schools was £15-4 per head, in girls' schools £13-6 per head, and in mixed schools, £15-9 per head. The following figures indicate the average rates of salary prevailing n 1914, 1918, and 1919. The exc'usion of the two schools referred to above (where the salaries are high) from the 1919 figures places that year at a slight disadvantage in the comparison.

The average salaries of Principals, and of male Principals especially, would be considerably higher if allowance were made for these

E.—6

8

perquisites. The average salary of assistants would also be affected, although to a less extent, if the value of board and residence were included. The substantial increase in the average salaries for 191!) over those for li> 1S is the result of the application of the Department's regulations prescribing minimum average salaries in each, school of £320 and £250 for qualified men and women assistants respectively, and also prescribing fixed minimum salaries for the Principals and first assistants of schools of various grades. Since 1914 the average salary of male Principals has increased by £123, or 23-5 per cent., and the average salary of women Principals by £112, or 28-3 per cent. The average salary of male assistants has increased by £84, or 33*8 per cent., since 1914 ; of female assistants by £89, or 54-6 per cent.; and of both combined by £79, or 37-5 per cent. The regulations referred to apply only to teachers who are graduates or hold a teacher's certificate, and the average salaries of such assistants are higher than those quoted, being--male assistants, £348 ; female assistants, £256. Of 16(5 male assistants, the salaries of 109 are between £150 and £350, and of 183 women assistants the salaries of 110 are between £150 and £250, and of 157 between £150 and £300. It appears, especially in the case of women teachers, that junior teachers have benefited more from the new regulations than have senior teachers, the difference in salary between teachers just entering the profession and those with long service and experience not being sufficiently marked. A scheme for grading secondary-school teachers, and for providing a more definite scale of salaries, is at present under consideration. In the secondary departments of district high schools salaries are paid in accordance with a general scale. The average salaries (excluding war bonus) paid to secondary assistants in 1918 and 1919 were as follows : — 1918. 1919. Male assistants .. .. .. .. .. .. 263 298 Female assistants . . .. .. .. .. .. 218 268 All secondary assistants .. .. .. .. .. 228 278 The total annual rate of salaries paid to teachers in secondary departments of district high schools, including the special payments to head teachers, was £30,980, as against £23,037 for 1918. The large increase in the total expenditure on salaries and also in the average salaries is the result of the application of the revised scale of salaries for public-school teachers that came into operation in 1919. The following table shows the position of secondary-school teachers with regard to University examination status and teachers' certificate qualifications :

Status of Secondary Teachers (Regular Staff only), December, 1919.

It will be observed that there is a larger proportion of uncertificated teachers among the male assistants of secondary schools than among the women assistants. The percentage of all. uncertificated assistants is, however, less than it was in 1918, the effect of the war upon the male staff until that time having been to increase the proportion of uncertificated teachers.

Finances of Secondary Schools. (See also tables K6-KB.) The income of secondary schools is derived from the following sources : — (i.) Rents from special reserves allocated, to them by statute : (ii.) Statutory grant given in lieu of special reserves (in one case) : (iii.) Interest upon moneys derived from the sale of reserves and invested in accordance with the Education Reserves Act: (iv.) Tncome from the secondary-school reserves controlled by the Land Boards divided among the secondary schools in the several land districts in proportion to the number of pupils in average attendance, lower departments excluded : (v.) Government payments—(a) Annual grant, statutory capitation upon free pupils under the Amendment Act; (/;) subsidies on voluntary contributions ; (c) capitation for manual-instruction classes : (vi.) Special Government grants for buildings and apparatus : (vii.) Tuition fees of pupils : (viii.) Boarding-fees of pupils : (ix.) Miscellaneous sources, such as interest on moneys (other than those obtained by the sale of reserves), donations, and income from special endowments (for scholarships, prizes, &c), rent of premises, &c. The revenue derived from the sources (i) to (iv) is the income derived from endowments, and the " net .annual income derived from endowments " is the average of this revenue for the three preceding years, less the expenditure upon the endowments and investments, upon buildings approved by the Minister, and less mortgage and other charges. By the Education Amendment Act of 1919 the capitation payment on account of free pupils has been increased to £15 (except in the case of a girls' school with separate endowments, when it is £14), and in addition a grant of £500 per annum is made to each boys' or mixed school and of £400 per annum to each girls' school. The Board's net annual income from endowments is deducted from the total sum thus payable to it. It is intended that a sum equal to the total of £15 per free pupil, the annual grant, and the tuition fees of paying pupils should be expended upon the salaries of the teachers and the incidental expenses of the schools. The following is a summary of the receipts and payments of all secondary schools (lower departments included, Wanganui Collegiate and Christ's College Grammar Schools excluded) for the year 1919 : — Summary of the Statements of Receipts and Payments foe the Year 1919 furnished by the Governing Bodies of Secondary Schools.

The payments on account of salaries (secondary departments only) were £122,511, as compared with £99,482 in the previous year ; and on account of incidentals (comprising administration, caretaking, school material, &c), £18,640,

compared with £16,064 in 1918. The receipts for capitation show a corresponding large increase of £32,341 compared with the previous year. The payments on account of buildings, sites, and equipment, amounting to £53,990, were much greater than in recent years, owing to extensive building operations taking place in connection with several schools and the hostels attached to them. It will be observed that the direct Government grants towards this expenditure amounted to £23,347, the Government's expenditure on this account for the year ending March, 1920, being £42,948, as compared with £5,057 in the year 1918-19. The total receipts on account of lower departments exceeded the payments, but in one or two instances these departments were not self-supporting, and controlling authorities are warned of the illegality of such a position, and of their possible liability to make good any shortage. The combined Hostels Accounts show an excess of receipts over payments of £1,304. As several of the hostels are only in an initial stage, and there have been considerable payments on account of furniture, utensils, &c, larger profits from these establishments may be looked for in the future, although the object of their establishment is not profit-making, but the provision of good accommodation for country pupils at as reasonable a figure as possible. Taking into account the monetary assets and liabilities of twenty of the twenty-two Boards of public secondary schools in operation (the returns from two Boards being outstanding), it appears that the total debit balance at the end of 1919 was £58,543, eleven Boards having a debit and nine a credit balance. The debit balances are for the most part due to loans raised or overdrafts incurred on account of the erection of necessary buildings ; one school alone is responsible for a debit of £29,000 on account of recent large purchases of land, and another school for over £14,000 in connection with extensive building operations. The following is a summary of the monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the year :— Monetary Assets. £ Liabilities. £ Bank balances .. .. .. 32,975 Overdrafts and loans .. .. 63,494 Other assets .. .. .. 26,947 Other liabilities .. .. .. 54,972 £59,922 £118,466 Debit balance .. .. £58,544 It should be pointed out that the Boards' assets in the way of buildings and sites are not included in these figures ; otherwise all Boards would show large credit balances. Lower Departments of Secondary Schools. (Table IQ0.) The Education Act as amended in 1919 provides that pupils who have not obtained at least a certificate of competency in the subjects of Standard VI of the public-school syllabus may be admitted to a lower department of a secondary school if they are taught in a separate building or class-room and if no part of the cost of their instruction or of the maintenance of the department is met out of the income from the school's endowments or out of any moneys granted by the Government. Previous to the Amendment Act of 1919 pupils could enter the secondary school on passing Standard V ; it is now necessary for them to be provided for in the lower department until they pass Standard VI. There were lower departments in fourteen secondary schools in 1919, the total number of pupils being 686 —392 boys and 294 girls, and the total number of teachers twentyfive. The great majority of the pupils are classified in the upper standards, and as more than a third of them board at the school hostels, it appears that these departments are largely used by country residents who can afford to send their children away to obtain their primary education. The tuition fees charged range from £7 10s. to £13 10s. per annum, and the boarding-fees from £36 to £51 per annum.

2. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sib,— Wellington, nth July, 1920. Work of this Year. Our work wus seriously interfered with Inst year by the ooal shortage in the winter, which compelled us to spend an inordinate number of days travelling in slow trains. During the earlier part of the year all the secondary schools of the North Island, with the exception of Wellington Girls' College, were inspected, an average of from three to four days being spent in each school by both Inspectors. During this visit Principals were kept posted on all details, teachers were conferred with individually and in groups, and the inspection usually concluded with a general discussion with the whole staff, in which we were pleased to see junior teachers occasionally taking part. Sonic of the larger technical high schools and district high schools were also visited, the latter in company with the Senior District Inspectors. In every case our report contained n complete commentary on all that we saw, and it appears unnecessary to cover again ground that has in this way been already satisfactorily traversed. During the latter part of the year all secondary schools were visited with a view to the award of senior free places without formal external examinations and of lower and higher leaving-certifi-cates. Certain forms, especially those composed of second-year pupils, were tested by means of written and oral work. As a result of these tests, after consultation with Principals, senior free places were awarded under clause 7 (r) to over fifteen hundred pupils. A large number of leavingcertilicates of both grades were also issued on our recommendation, Tun Training of Teachers. Our last report stressed the need of a general reorganization now that the war is over. A special matter that seems to call for immediate attention is the training of secondary-school teachers in pedagogy. The persons who desire to take up secondary teaching are usually young graduates, fresh from the University and quite untrained in teaching methods. Under the instruction of skilled teachers their latent powers would rapidly develop; under the present system they are either thrown entirely on their own resources, or at best have to depend upon such practical help as can be given by a Principal who is usually busied with matters of general organization and the like, or upon the hints and suggestions of the Inspectors at the time of their short and infrequent inspection visits. Although we are anxious to help young teachers to the best of our ability, although we devote a considerable proportion of our time in each school to them, and although, we find most of them keenly anxious to profit by our visit, yet we confess we cannot do much for them during a short inspection visit that occurs only once every two years. Teachers have, in fact, to gain their experience in many schools mainly at the expense of their pupils. The result is perhaps not quite as bad as might be expected, for an appreciable number of these young graduates are " born teachers " to whom right methods come by a kind of instinct, and nearly all of them are earnest students, whose academic training has made them specially quick to appreciate and adopt right lines of work. Nevertheless, even to persons of this mental calibre, and perhaps specially to such, a short course of observation in a good school and of practice teaching under expert supervision and direction would undoubtedly be of great value. We again affirm the opinion expressed two years ago that there is urgent call for co-operation between training colleges, University colleges, and secondary schools in the main centres. We venture to say that a unique opportunity now presents itself in Christchurch. Canterbury College has just engaged a Professor of Education; the Canterbury College Board of Governors, alone among the governing bodies of University colleges, has control of the local high schools, and has at least two of its members on the Board of Advice of the Training College. It seems to be plainly indicated that the Christchurch High Schools should be made practising and observational schools for secondary teachers, and that University college, high school, and training college should be associated for the purpose. Such a scheme would involve a special staffing of the high schools named and the provision of bursaries of some kind. The additional expense, however, need not be great, and would surely yield a handsome return. Agricultural SciiiNon in Secondary Schools. In June the then Hon. Minister of Education summoned a conference to discuss the question of agricultural education. The conference was attended by about twenty delegates, including selected Inspectors of primary schools and teachers of agriculture in secondary schools, together with representatives of Lincoln College, the University of New Zealand, the Agricultural Department, and the Education Department. During the sessions, which extended over three days, a general discussion was held, and sub-committees, appointed for the purpose, submitted reports cm the teaching of agricultural science in the primary schools, the secondary schools, and in the University colleges. Some of the suggestions contained in these reports have been incorporated in the revised syllabus for primary schools. With regard to secondary, schools and the University there were manifested such sharp differences of opinion as to the possibility of satisfactory courses being devised that no definite action has yet resulted. The Director of Education in his capacity as member of the University Senate has represented to that body the advisability of putting the subject on the sj'llabus for the B.A. degree, and a sub-committee is preparing a draft prescription accordingly. It is hoped that the matter will receive at the hands of the Senate the careful attention which its great importance demands, and that we shall soon have in at least one of the affiliated colleges a Lecturer in Agriculture, whose work will be chiefly in connection with trainingcollege students and young teachers in secondary schools. If these facilities for the study of the subject are denied, we feel compelled, with the greatest reluctance, to advise the Principals of secondary schools to delete agriculture from the syllabus of instruction.

The Education Department is meanwhile attempting to make some provision at Weraroa for the training of young men in agricultural science. It is questionable, however, whether a supply of teachers will eventually come from this source, and further reference to this project seems to lie outside the scope of our report. The position as far as secondary schools is concerned is si ill substantially the same as thai recorded in the annual report for 1917. Some few schools— aotably those at Whangarei, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Palmers!on North. Nelson, Rangiofa, Ashburton, Timaru, and Waifcaki—still kept the subject on the syllabus during 1919, and made an honest attempt to provide a sound course of .scientific instruction. They were, however, hampered in varying degrees by the popular demand that instruction in the subject should even in the earlier stages run along specialized or vocational rather than educational lines, by the mistaken desire for large experimental areas, by the consequent inordinate proportion of time taken by the pupils in routine field operations. by the lack of trained touchers in the subject, by the failure of the University or the Education Department to make any satisfactory provision for the training of such teachers, and by the discouragement that awaits bright pupils who, having taken agriculture to the standard of Matriculation or University Entrance Scholarship Examination, find themselves compelled to drop the subject on entering the University, if they are aiming at the usual arts degree. Conference ok Suniok Cadet Officers. In September, a conference of representative secondary-school Cadet officers was summoned in Wellington by the Defence Department. The conference, which lasted two days, was presided over by the Senior Inspector, and some of the sessions were attended by Major-General Robin, Brigadier-General Richardson, and other officers of the Permanent Staff. Various matters affecting the welfare of Senior Cadets attached to secondary schools were fully discussed. The most definite and valuable result was the agreement of the Defence Department to the long-standing request that in the case of school units the military year should be made to coincide with the school year. .Matters relative to maintenance grants, issue and replacement of equipment, physical drill, school barracks, and many others were freely discussed, and it was agreed that the conference had been a very valuable one in removing some of the causes of friction between officials of the Defence and Education Departments* Phywkjai, Drill foe Girls, We have from lime to lime drawn attention to the supreme importance of tin , sound physical (raining of girls in secondary schools. It is therefore pleasing to be able to stale that year by year more stress is being laid on this branch of school work. Not only are games in nearly every case properly organized and supervised by teachers; not only do selected teachers attend courses in physical exercise and qualify themselves to supervise school drill, but in a number of the larger schools a woman with special qualifications is now engaged and devotes all or nearly all of her time to supervision of games and drill, makes periodical inspection of girls, records minor physical defects, and, where possible, applies remedial treatment. The same teacher sometimes gives instruction in swimming, life-saving, hygiene, and first aid. Such a teacher is manifestly a most valuable addition to the stall of a girls' school. Conclusion. We have found Principals and assistants alike ready to afford us all possible assistance, and prepared to discuss fully all points raised by us. it is only by means of such frank and ready co-operation that inspection visits can be made really helpful.

3. DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS.—EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS, EDUCATION BOARDS, DIRECTORS OF MANUAL INSTRUCTION, ETC. AUCKLAND. Extract from the Report ok the Education Board, Foii some time past the Board has been impressed with the necessity of improving the tuition in the district high schools, and last year obtained full reports from the Senior Inspector of Schools and Inspectors McLeod and Piicailhly upon each school. The Hoard obtained the permission of the Department for these officers to specially report upon the district high schools this year. In this way the Board will become conversant with the condition of these schools in detail, and, with the advice of the Inspectors mentioned, be able to effect a remedy. During the year the Department authorized the establishment of high schools at Te Awamutu and Whakatane. These schools were opened early this year. The rural course was taken by the pupils at the following district high schools: Aratapu, Coromandel, Pukekohe, Huntly, Te Knit i, Taumarunui, Cambridge, Malamaia, Rotorua, Waihi, Paeroa, and Tauranga. Eacli of these schools was visited regularly by an instructor in agriculture, who assisted in the science instruction. The course of work has been modified to suit the staffing conditions better and to enhance the value of the instruction given. The science equipment at the district high school is being steadily improved, and there are now science-rooms fully equipped for the teaching of agriculture and domestic science at most of the district high schools. In March the senior boys from all districl high schools were taken to Ruakura Government Farm of Instruction for a week's instruction in agriculture and dairy science in charge of the Board's instructors.

TARANAKI. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. Stratford District Ilii/Ii School. —Despite the changes in the school Etaff, the work of tin: Stratford District High School's secondary department retains a satisfactory efficiency. The school now provides, in addition to the ordinary literary studies, full courses of training , in domestic and rural science and in commercial work. For these subjects special instructors, in addition to the ordinary staff, arc employed. 'I , he whole of the work of the school has a bias towards agriculture, and that important subject is taken as a study in every class. WANGANUI. Extract from the Repobt of the Inspectors of Schools. During the year the district high schools suffered greatly through changes in the teaching staff. It is a thousand pities more young teachers do not prepare for secondary-school teaching; but so long as they avoid science during their University course so long will they be of little service in the district high schools. We do not remember a time when teachers of the type we require were so scarce. From this cause our district high schools are languishing : the largest; department, which a few years ago had more than eighty pupils on the roll, has now about half that number; three of the smaller departments have a desperate struggle for existence, and disestablishment is threatening. In two instances the departments are prospering) and in these cases the staff has been permanent and the instruction regular and efficient. We do not think the failure of the smaller departments is to be taken as indicating that there is little demand for secondary education in the country districts. We ascribe the failure to lack of efficient teaching and to lack of continuity in the instruction. The Board's special vocational courses in animal husbandry and in shearing were well attended by pupils from the Wanganui Technical College and the district high schools. HAWKE'S BAY. Extract from the Report of the Inspectors of Schools. The following table shows the roll number at the end of the year in the district high schools :— Boys. Qirls. Total. Hastings ... ... ... ... ... 11l 20 39 Waipawa ... ... ... ... ... 23 20 43 Woodville ... ... ... 16 16 32 58 56 114 Towards the end of the year the Department decided to establish a district high school at Waipukurau. This is preparatory to providing a technical high school for that part of Hawke's Bay. Plans of buildings have been submitted to the Department. Meanwhile secondary work will be commenced under temporary conditions. In course of time, with proper application of such endowments as the Howard bequest, this school should rival the Agricultural College of Hawkesbury, in New South Wales. Of the works in these divisions generally it may be remarked that in studies bearing on vocation, such as agricultural science and dairy science, there appears to us to have been great progress in education during recent years—progress more marked than at any other stage of primary or secondary work, infant-room teaching possibly excepted. Arrangements are in hand to extend the facilities for a commercial education at Hastings, at which centre there is a .movement to disestablish the district high school with a view to instituting a technical high school. Extract from Report of Education Board. As in previous years, the first- and second-year pupils of the secondary departments of the district high schools took the rural course. The aim of the course is to provide a good general education in secondary subjects, and also to prepare the pupils for the Public Service Entrance Examination. The science work has been continued for the third and fourth year, thus enabling pupils to take science for their Matriculation Examination. The following table shows the numbers on the rolls of the various schools at the end of the years 1918 and 1919 respectively : —

The average attendance of pupils in the secondare' departments for the year was as follows : Hastings, 40; Waipawa, 50; Woodville, 34: total, 124.

Extract from the Report of the Supervisor of Manual and Technical Instruction. The rural oourse, which in reality is the general course of instruction jjrovided in the district high schools, is in operation at Hastings, Waipawa, and Woodville. The aim of the course is to provide a good general education in secondary subjects and also to prepare (he pupils for Public Service Entrance Examination. A feature of this course is scientific work, which for nine years has been taken by the Board's instructor. Excellent work has been done in the practical scientific subjects taken. The science work lias been continued for the third and fourth year, thus enabling pupils to take science for their Matriculation Examination. The pupils in attendance at the rural course at each centre during the year were —Hastings, 39; Waipawa, 54; Woodville, ;S1 : total, 124. In order to meet the changing conditions of the time, the rural course should now be so modified as to permit of additional lime being devoted to domestic-science work. More systematic instruction should also be provided in commercial subjects. WELLINGTON. Extract fiioji the Report of the Inspectors (if Schools. Eight district high schools, with a roll of 305, were in operation during the year, and in live of These the Department's full rural course was taken, the remaining three being exempt under clause 1) of the Free Place Regulations. The establishment of secondary schools proper at Masterton and in the Hutt Valle\—sites having already been purchased —will probably eliminate all but two at least of these schools. In addition to meeting the requirements of the rural course, highly creditable results were obtained at the public examinations, as the following figures show: Full matriculation, 10; partial. I ; Public Service Entrance, I(i ; Senior National Scholarship, 7. In the Public Service Entrance Examination a, Petoue District High. Seliool candidate headed the list for the Dominion. Extract from the Report ok the Education Hoamt. The average attendances for the year ID I!) were—Carterton, 40; Eketahuna, 42; (ireytown, 14; Hutt, 35; Levin, 33; Masterton,' 40; I'ahiatua, 2.'!; Petone, 40 : total, 323. The secondary department of the Normal School was closed on the 30th June, 1919. (It is worthy of note that the Rhodes Scholar, l!)20, was a former pupil of the Masterton District High School.) NELSON. Extract from Report ok [nbpeotors of Schools. The yearly average attendance of tlie secondary classes at the four district high schools was : Westport,' LOT; Motueka, 25; Reefton, 18; Takaka, 14, The number on the roll, which constantly tends to decrease during the year, was at its close LOO, 22, 17, and 13 respectively. Schemes of work for the higher forms are based upon the requirements of the Public Service Entrance, Teachers' Certificate, or Matriculation Examinations. French, algebra, and geometry, with, as an alternative, book-keeping or a fuller commercial course, were taken in all schools. and Latin as well in two of them. All have had to carry on during the year under some disadvantages, mainly through the difficulty of obtaining capable teachers. Motueka was for a time short-staffed, no competent assistant being available, and no manual instruction in woodwork or cookery has been given at Motueka and Takaka, or to the boys al Reefton. At Westport the large number attending has led to the appointment of an additional (a fourth) teacher and the hiring of another class-room. The four rooms are widely dispersed and not well adapted to the purpose, so that difficulties in the way of supervision and organization are produced. Extract from run Report ok the Education Board. The secondary department of the Westport District High School, with a roll number of 120, urgently requires extra accommodation, which it is now hoped will be available shortly by the erection of the technical high school in the Buller district. The Board is pleased that the establishment of this school has been authorized. The amalgamation of the secondary department and the technical school will prove of very real benefit to the district. The attendance at the secondary departments at Motueka and Reefton is quite satisfactory, but at Takaka the continued poor attendance in the secondary department is disappointing and the school is not supported as it should be. Difficulties of staffing have interfered with the regular working of some of the secondary departments, and it is obvious that in order to attract suitable teachers the status of the schools will have to be improved and better salaries provided for the teachers. CANTERBURY. Extract from the Report ok Inspectors of Schools. The returns from district high schools showed 650 secondary pupils on the roll. With some of these the struggle for existence has continued for a long time, but we understand it has now been decided to close two of them. Excellent railway facilities should make it quite an easymatter for the pupils in these districts to attend at a, centre where there is a high school. Among the district high schools, West Christchurch and Wainiate hold a high place both with regard to numbers and excellence of work. Hokitika, Greymouth, Geraldine, and Temuka very closely approach the above schools, and in their respective centres are catering in an efficient manner for secondary requirements. The work in all the schools is most creditable to the teachers. The successes at matriculation and departmental examinations bear out, the favourable opinions formed at inspection visits. The attention to detail and the general neatness of work give a pleasing impression of the thoroughness of the methods employed.

OTAGO. Extract from the Report op the Inspectors op Schools. These schools continue to discharge their functions well by providing courses of instruction in elementary agriculture, domestic and elementary science, and such other courses as meet the requirements of the public examinations. While the educative value of the work is high, the course of instruction is practical, and we confidently expect that the applicable knowledge gained in these schools will have a marked effect through the adoption of rational processes and elimination of waste. As in former years, the pupils of these schools have acquitted themselves well in the Matriculation and Public Service Examinations, am] we should like to see the communities more appreciative of the educational advantages that are presented by these institutions. Extract from the Report of the Education Board. The average attendances in the secondary departments of these schools were: Balclutha, 61; Normal, 5'2; Lawrence, 34; Tokomairiro, 2-'i; Port Chalmers, 22; Alexandra, 22; Tapanui, 21; Mosgiel, 17; Palmerston, 15: total, 267—being a decrease of 40 from the previous year. The full agricultural science course was taken at all the district high schools except Alexandra. At the latter place, owing to want of facilities, a partial course only was followed, but it is hoped that next year the full course will be available, the Department having sanctioned a grant for the erection of the necessary woodwork, cookery, and science rooms.
