SECONDARY EDUCATION.

1. EXTRACT FROM THE FORTY-FOURTH 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 .. .. .. .. 5 (c.) Endowed secondary schools within the meaning of the Act, but not included above .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 2 Total .. .. .. .. .. .. ..39 Of the thirty-nine secondary schools, thirteen are for boys, thirteen for girls, and nine 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 1920 was fifty-nine, technical high schools nine, Maori secondary schools ten, and private secondary schools registered under the Education Act, 1914, eighteen, making a total of one hundred and thirtyone schools affording secondary education. A separate secondary school for girls was opened at Palmerston North. Roll and Attendance. (Tables Kl, K 2, and LI.) The total number of pupils attending the thirty-five secondary schools included under (a), (b), and (c) above at the end of 1919 and 1920 respectively was — , 1919. , , 1920.— , Boys. Girls. Totals.

The number of new entrants was 242 less than in 1919, the decrease being in the number of girls. The roll number on Ist March, which is regarded as the highest roll number during the year, was 10,080.

Of 1.0,026 children who left the primary schools having passed S6 in 1919, 1,528 entered the secondary departments of district high schools, 4,183 secondary schools, and 1,503 technical high schools : hence a total of 7,214 children, or 71 per cent, of the children mentioned, entered upon a course of secondary education. The number represents 47 per cent, of the total number of pupils leaving the public schools in 1919, of whom a third had not passed S6. In addition to the children enumerated 2,189 proceeded from the primary schools to evening technical classes; of these, 1,614 had passed S6, and 575 had not done so. The average length of stay of boys at secondary schools (group (a) abo\ ) is two years and nine months, and of girls two years and seven months. The following figures show the percentage of children leaving the secondary schools at the stages indicated : — Boys. Girls. (a.)

The figures are not quite so good as those of last year, there being no apparent tendency to lengthen the period of stay at. secondary schools ; little else can be expected, unless compulsion is exercised, while the age of the pupils remains as high as it is. It is found that the average age of entrants is fourteen years, three-quarters of the entrants being between the ages of thirteen and fifteen years. At the beginning of the year one-thirteenth of the pupils in the schools are under fourteen years of age, three-thirteenths are between fourteen and fifteen years, four-thirteenths are between fifteen and sixteen years, and five-thirteenths are over sixteen years of age. It is clear that the most effective method of increasing the period of secondary education is to lower the age at which it is entered upon. This question, which involves the reduction of the primary-school syllabus, is at present receiving the study and attention of the Department. The opinion is expressed in a recent report of the English Departmental Committee on Scholarships and Free Places that the best age for transfer from the elementary to the secondary school is between eleven and twelve, and rather later if a junior technical school is going to be entered. The one year's instruction for which 25 per cent, of the pupils remain at secondary schools can be of little value, as it means that only a beginning is made in the study of several new subjects. If such pupils had begun upon a specially adapted secondary course at an earlier age it is most probable that they would have been able to leave school at the same age as at present with a much more efficient educational equipment. Curriculum of Secondary Schools and District High Schools. 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. The Department's Inspectors of Secondary Schools visit all secondary schools inspecting the work, conferring with the teachers on teaching matters, and discussing with the Principals details of organization and method. The work of the pupils is also inspected —frequently by means of written or oral tests —for the award of senior free places and of lower and higher leaving-certificates. Besides the general or professional course, special courses are now provided at most secondary schools for pupils not intending to follow an academic or professional career. The study of Latin is generally excluded from such courses, which frequently have a commercial, agricultural, or domestic bias. From an examination of the subjects taken by pupils it appears that Latin is now taken by only 52 per cent, of the boys and by 34 per cent, of the girls ; French is studied by 76 per cent, of the boys and by 91 per cent, of the girls ; agriculture is taken by 709 boys; commercial subjects by 1,699 boys, or 31 per cent., and by 734 girls; woodwork is taken by 530 boys, and cookery or needlework by 1,789 girls. The fact that some of the subjects mentioned are studied during only a portion of the time spent at the secondary school results in a smaller percentage appearing to study such subjects than is actually the case. In district high schools subjects bearing more or less directly on rural pursuits and domestic life are given prominence. Sixty-two per cent, of the boys take agricultural science, 31 per cent, dairy-work, 55 per cent, woodwork, and 80 per cent, chemistry and physics; while 40 per cent, of the girls take domestic science, and 56 per cent, needlework and cookery. It cannot be said, however, that the rural course is very popular, parents appearing to prefer their children to follow the ordinary programme of work prescribed for public examinations. The task of providing courses both for pupils who intend to continue their scholastic career and for those shortly entering upon some vocation constitutes the difficulty of district high schools where the number of pupils is not sufficiently large to warrant the employment of staffs of teachers numerous enough to teach the wide range of subjects required.

Hostels for Pupils of Secondary Schools. (Table K 6.) The Department has unfortunately been unable to give as much financial assistance as was desirable towards the cost of the erection of hostels in connection with secondary schools ; nevertheless, several hostels were enlarged during the year, and some for which grants had previously been approved are now in course of erection. Twenty-seven hostels were open in 1920 —one more than in the previous year —1,296 boys and 378 girls of the secondary departments and 291 pupils of the lower departments being accommodated in them. Of the boys 380 were at Christ's College, Christchurch., and the Wanganui Collegiate School. In addition to these numbers, 82 pupils were boarding in homes approved by the Principals, and 641 were boarding privately. For these last-named, and also for the large number of children prevented from attending school owing to the boarding difficulty, or forced to make long railway journeys daily, additional accommodation where there is dependable supervision and desirable environment is urgently needed. Free Secondary Education. (Table K4.) Free secondary education is provided on an extensive scale, junior and senior free places 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, (6) 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 or in 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. 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 recommendation of the Principals of secondary schools is the qualification now frequently offered, the number receiving senior free places in this manner in 1920 being 2,124, representing nearly threequarters of the total number of senior free places awarded. The following table gives a summary of the secondary free places held in 1919 and 1920 for which payment was made by the Government:— Free Places in December, 1919 and 1920. , 1919. ■ , , 1920. , (i.)

Scholarships held at Secondary Schools and District High Schools. (See also Tables K4 and K 5.) National Scholarships. Junior and Senior National Scholarships 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 candidates being not over fourteen years of age ; and the senior examination being of a standard comparable with the standard of the Public Service Entrance Examination, the candidates being not over sixteen years of age. Scholarships are awarded to all candidates reaching a certain standard, the standard of award being determined so as approximately to provide one scholarship (junior or senior) for every 500 children in attendance at all public schools ; the Junior and Senior Scholarships awarded are in the proportion of nine to five, so that there is one Junior Scholarship among approximately every 750 pupils in attendance at the schools, or among every fifty-five §6 pupils. 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 for the 1920 examinations was 64 per cent, for Junior Scholarships (general standard) and 63| per cent, for Senior Scholarships. The results of the examination were as follows : 220 candidates qualified for Junior National Scholarships, as compared with 211 in 1919, of which number seven were pupils of sole-teacher schools, and fifty-seven were pupils of secondary schools. The number of successful pupils from sole-teacher schools was greater than in the previous year, and the number from secondary schools considerably smaller. The number of candidates qualifying for Senior National Scholarships was 122, of which number only one 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. 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, 1919, and December, 1920, respectively. The number of scholarshipholders is, of course, included in the number of free-place holders shown in the preceding section.

Private Scholarships. 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 1920 was 147. Of the holders sixty-two were also Government free pupils under the regulations. The total annual, value of the scholarships in cash was £1,647. In addition, free tuition was given by the schools to holders of foundation and private scholarships. 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 (b.) A free place at a secondary school, district high school, or technical high school; or (c.) A University or educational bursary at a University college. A bursary entitles the holder to an allowance, in addition to free tuition, of £l 10s. or £3 per annum, in the case of those qualified under (a), £5 for those under (b), or £10 for those under (c). Lodging-allowance is also 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 (b) and (c) ; travelling-allowances varying from £5 to £10 per annum are also made when travelling is necessary. During 1920 the number of bursaries held at secondary schools was thirty-eight, the expenditure thereon being £646. Secondary-school Certificates. Three classes of certificates may be issued to free-place holders taking a secondary course of instruction. The intermediate certificate may be granted to junior-free-place holders who have satisfactorily completed under certain conditions a two-years course at a secondary school, district high school, or technical high school, and who in general are qualified in attainment to receive a senior free place. The lower leaving-certificate may be issued to pupils who have satisfactorily completed a three-years course of secondary instruction, including not less than one year of a senior course in which the standard of work is sufficiently advanced in character to meet the requirements of the examination for a teacher's certificate of Class 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. The following are the numbers of certificates awarded in 1912 (the year of their institution), in 1919, and in 1920 :— 1912. 1919. 1920. Higher leaving-certificates awarded .. .. 64 265 307 Lower leaving-certificates awarded .. .. 32 263 270 Applications for certificates declined .. .. 20 49 93 Total number of applications .. .. 116 577 670 Staffs of Secondary Schools. (Table K3.) The number of full-time teachers on the staffs of secondary schools for the last two years was : 1919—males, 186 ; females, 195 : total, 381. 1920—males, 207 ; females, 193 : total, 400. There is an increase of nineteen in the full-time staff, the number of male teachers being twenty-one more and the number of female teachers two less than in the previous year ; the number of male teachers has increased by sixty-one in the last two years. Included in the total number are twenty male Principals and thirteen female Principals, leaving 187 male assistants and 180 female assistants. The average number of pupils per full-time assistant

8.—6

8

was twenty-six. In addition to the staff of full-time teachers a number of parttime teachers for special subjects are employed. Regulations made under the Education Amendment Act, 1920, prescribe the number and grade of full-time assistants to be employed in schools of various grades. 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 sixty, and £50 per annum if it does exceed that number. In 1920 there were in the secondary departments of district high schools HO.special secondary assistants —thirty-six men and seventy-four women —there being two more men and three more women than in the previous year. Salaries and Status of Secondary-school Teachers. (Table K 3.) Under the provisions of the Education Amendment Act of 1920 regulations have been made prescribing definitely the salaries of secondary-school teachers, which are now paid by the Government. jjThe range of salaries payable is as follows : Principals—Men, £600 to £900 ; women, £440 to £680. AssistantsMen, £200 to £540 ; women, £175 to £410. In addition, a married Principal receives house allowance of £60 if a residence is not provided, a head of a department may receive £30, and a married assistant receives £40 per annum. The salaries of Principals are graded according to the size of the school, and the salaries of assistants according to their classification. As a result of the introduction of the new scale, the total annual rate of salaries as payable in December, 1920, was £152,992, as compared with £126,694 in the previous year —an increase of 21 per cent. The cost of salaries per head of the average attendance at this rate is £17-8, as compared with £14-8 in 1919. The following figures indicate the average rates of salary prevailing in 1914, 1919, and 1920 :— ' Average Salaries of Full-time Teachers in Secondary Schools. , 1914. , , 1919. , , 1920. i M. F.

A substantial increase in the figures for 1920 compared with those of the previous year is noted, and compared with the salaries of 1914 the following percentage increases have taken place : Male Principals, 35 ; female Principals, 38 ; male assistants, 57 ; female assistants, 77. The averages given include the salaries of teachers who are neither graduates nor hold, teachers' certificates ; if only teachers so qualified were included the figures would be higher. Of 187 male assistants the salaries of forty-four are between £200 and £300, of sixty-two are between £300 and £400, of fifty-two are between £400 and £500, and of twenty-nine are over £500 ; of 180 women assistants the salaries of 121 are between £200 and £300, of fifty-six are between £300 and £400, and of three are between £400 and £500. In the secondary departments of district high schools salaries are paid in accordance with a general scale. The average salaries paid, to secondary assistants in 1919 and 1920 were as follows : — 1919. 1920. £ £ Male assistants .. .. .. .. .. .. 298 341 Female assistants ~ .. .. .. .. . . 268 304 All secondary assistants .. .. .. .. .. 278 316 The total annual rate of salaries paid to teachers.in secondary departments of district high schools, including the special payments to head teachers, was £36,430, as against £30,550 in 1919. There was a large increase in this figure in 1919, and the further substantial increase in. 1920 is due to regulations of that year again raising the grades of salaries.

Regulations made in 1920 provide for the annual classification by the Department of all full-time assistants employed in secondary schools, and. the first classification has been made, assistants being classified, according to teaching ability, academic attainments, and length of service, into four grades, A, B, C, and D. Teachers not having both academic status and five years' teaching service are classed in the lowest grade, D. The following figures show the number of assistants placed in the various grades : Men—Grade A, 39 ; Grade B, 45 ; Grade C, 53*; Grade D, 78: total 215. Women—Grade A, 33; Grade B, 48; Grade C, 57 ; Grade D, 64 : total, 202. It will be observed, that a large proportion of the assistants are in the lowest grade, being either young or unqualified teachers. The necessity for more adequate provision for the special training of secondary-school teachers is fully realized ; unfortunately, it has been necessary, owing to the expenditure involved, to postpone for the present the carrying into operation of a scheme to meet this requirement. The Inspectors of Secondary Schools report that the younger teachers, owing, no doubt, to the classification scheme, are showing a greater desire to complete their university courses. Owing to the return to duty of many men teachers who were on active service, a considerable improvement in the quality of the teaching and the standard of work accomplished is reported as having taken place during the year. The supply of qualified male teachers is not yet, however, by any means excessive, and in non-university centres difficulty is frequently experienced in obtaining suitable men teachers for the secondary-school staffs. Of the 110 assistants in district high schools, fifty-seven were University graduates and held teachers' certificates, one was a graduate only, forty-three held teachers' certificates only, and nine held neither qualification. Finances of Secondary Schools. (See also Tables K7-K9.) 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) : (hi.) Interest upon moneys derived from the sale of reserves and invested in accordance with the Education Reserves Act: (iv.) Income 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) For teachers' salaries and incidental expenses ; (b) 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 sources (i) to (iv) is the income from endowments, the " net annual income derived from endowments" being this sum less the expenditure incurred in connection with the endowments and school property and upon building purposes approved by the Minister. Under the provisions of the Education Amendment Act, 1920, instead of a capitation payment being made by the Government on account of free pupils, the Boards are now paid the actual amounts expended upon full-time teachers' salaries, together with a grant of £2 10s. per annum per pupil on the roll for incidental expenses and a grant not exceeding £l per pupil for the payment of part-time teachers. In making the payment for salaries a Board's " net annual income from endowments " and receipts from tuition fees are taken into account and deducted from the total amount payable by the Government. The amount chargeable for tuition fees is now prescribed by regulation, being at the rate of £4 per term, reducible to £3 10s. for prompt payment.

The following is an approximate 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 1920. Owing to delay in the receipt of returns from one school the figures are not exactly, but very approximately, correct: —■ Summary of the Statements of Receipts and Payments for the Year 1920 furnished by the Governing Bodies of Secondary Schools.

The total payments for the year exceeded the receipts by £25,886 ; Government grants due, however, at the end of the year covered part of this deficiency on the year's working. The net income from endowments as defined above was £21,321 ; this sum, together with tuition fees and the Government grant for salaries and incidental expenses, should have covered the cost of these items; including, however, an amount of £7,000 due to the Boards at the end of the year there was a deficiency of £8,000 on this account. The deficiency is due, no doubt, to the incidental expenses of some schools being higher than the rate of £2 10s. per head allowed for ;it is found that the cost ranged from £1-63 to £3 - 88, the average cost being £2-66. In some cases the cost is considered to be too high. The large expenditure on buildings is due to the purchase of sites and the erection of new and supplementary schools in several instances; there was also considerable expenditure on hostel buildings. Several Boards have raised loans on the security of their income from endowments in order to finance necessary building operations ; these loans will gradually be repaid out of the income from endowments. The total amount owing by the Boards at the end of the year by way of loans and bank overdrafts was £89,000 ; in addition there were other liabilities of £62,000, malting a total of £151,000. Against this indebtedness credit bank balances and moneys due to the Boards amounted to £90,000, leaving a net debit balance of £61,000 —£19,000 more than it was at the end of 1919. The fact that any expenditure unauthorized by the Department made out of a Board's income from endowments results in a corresponding sum being deducted from the Government's payment to meet the cost of salaries, which are now defined by regulation, places the expenditure of secondary-school Boards to a great extent under the control of the Department, and results in a more uniform treatment of all secondary schools —richly endowed schools having little or no advantage over schools possessing no endowments. The new arrangement for the payment of salaries and incidental expenses came into force during the year 1920, the amending

Act not being passed until towards the close of the year. It will therefore be possible to get a better idea of how the arrangement will work financially when the figures for one complete year are available. Lower Departments of Secondary Schools. (Table Kll.) Lower departments for pupils who have not passed S6 may be held in connection with secondary schools, provided that no part of the cost of instruction or of the maintenance of the department is met out of income from the endowments of the school or from Government grants. Fourteen secondary schools (including Christ's College, Christchurch) have lower departments attached to them, the total number of pupils in 1920 being 815, as compared with 686 in 1919. The roll number included 454 boys and 361 girls, and the total number of teachers was twenty-nine (nine males and twenty females). A large number of the pupils board at the school hostels, indicating that these departments are used by the children of country residents able to afford to send their children away from home to attend school. The tuition fees charged range in the various schools from £6 15s. to £13 10s. per annum, the boarding-fees ranging from £36 to £59 per annum.

2. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir,— Wellington, Ist July, 1921. Work of the Year. During the earlier portion of the year all the secondary schools in the South Island, together with the Wellington Girls' College, were inspected, from three to five days as a rule being spent in each school. The practice of the preceding year of conferring with individual teachers and with groups of the staff engaged in teaching the same or allied subjects, and of discussing details of organization and methods with the Principal from time to time during the visit, has been in the main adhered to ; in many cases the staff have expressed their appreciation of the opportunities given for such conferences. The Technical High Schools at Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill, the Westport, G-reymouth, and Hokitika District High Schools, and certain registered private secondary schools in Westport, Greymouth, Christchurch, and Dunedin, wore also inspected, several of the latter in company with the District Inspectors. In the latter part of the year all secondary schools in both Islands were visited in connection with the award of senior free places on the Principals' recommendations, and of lower and higher leavingcertificates. In most cases the second-year forms were tested by means of written or oral tests. As a result of these tests and subsequent consultations with the Principals senior free places were awarded under clause 7 (c) to about 1,860 pupils. Some 240 higher and 280 lower leaving-certificates were also issued on the Inspectors' recommendation.

The time of the Inspectors during the second half of the year was also largely occupied with the classification of assistant teachers, as provided for in the new grading scheme. In this connection short visits were also made to all the principal technical high schools with a view to obtaining an. independent estimate of the teachers engaged in teaching the usual secondary subj ccts in these schools ; the information so obtained was available for the technical grading officers in drawing up their classification list. The usual work of editing examination-papers for the Department's June examinations, and of setting, editing, and correcting papers for the public examinations in November and the teachers' certificate examinations in January, was also proceeded with. The Grading of Teachers. In June the Hon. Minister of Education summoned a conference of selected Principals and assistant teachers representative of the different types of secondary schools. In all about twenty delegates attended, including the Secondary-school Inspectors. The sessions extended over two days, and the conference discussed very fully the advisability of introducing some system of classification for secondary-school teachers, the relative rates of pay of men and women teachers, the desirability of making special provision for married assistants, and the grading of secondary schools and the positions therein. The scheme of classification as proposed by the Secondary Schools Assistants' Association was accepted as a basis for the discussions, and many of its leading features were approved, by the conference. m Immediately after the conference the senior Inspector was detained in Wellington to assist the departmental officers in drafting a classification scheme, and the draft was subsequently submitted to the Principals and staffs of all secondary schools for their comment. The Inspectors in all their visits to schools in the latter part of the year also took the opportunity to explain the proposed scheme to the teachers, and were able to gather many valuable suggestions from the criticisms proffered. In November and the early part of December the Inspectors were very fully occupied in assisting with the drawing-up of the Regulations for the Classification of Secondary-school Teachers, and in preparing and publishing the classification list. The scheme, though admittedly not perfect, has been received on. the whole with approval by the teaching profession, and the number of complaints from individual teachers as to their own classification has been remarkably small. As was anticipated, it was found impossible to introduce at once a rigid system of classification ; many longstanding anomalies in staffing and salaries could not be immediately removed, though every effort was made to reduce the number of these without inflicting hardship on the teachers concerned. As a result of the introduction of the scheme the salaries of the assistant teachers of the public secondary schools of the Dominion have been increased, for the years 1920 and 1921 by over £1.8,000 ; this amount will in 1922 be further augmented by over £2,000 through the first payment of annual increments. The average increase for women teachers has been £35-75, for married men £86-33, for single men £3644, and for all male assistant teachers £63-69. The salaries of Principals have also been in most cases materially increased under the new system. As time goes on it will become increasingly difficult for teachers who have not a good academic status to rise to the highest positions in the profession, and in this connection we may say that we have already noticed that younger teachers are displaying a greater desire to complete their university courses. General. The past year has witnessed a considerable improvement in the quality of the teaching and in. the standard of work accomplished in the majority of secondary schools. A great deal of such improvement is due partly to the fact that many experienced teachers who had been away on active service have now resumed their duties, and partly to the recovery of the children from the adverse effects of the influenza epidemic of 1918-19. At the close of 1918 >no fewer than eighteen women teachers were employed in seven boys' schools in place of masters absent with the Expeditionary Force ; the majority of these did faithful and efficient work, but their sphere of usefulness in such schools was obviously restricted. Since that time the number has been reduced very considerably, and during last year only three women teachers were employed, one in each of three separate boys' schools. The supply of qualified male teachers is not yet by any means excessive, and several schools, especially those in towns which are not University centres, have experienced great difficulty in obtaining suitable men for their staffs. Marked progress has been made in the teaching of home science; two of the largest girls' schools in the Dominion have been provided with cookery-rooms for the first time, and several others have been supplied with new laboratories or have been enabled to equip adequately laboratories which hitherto had been sadly deficient in apparatus. The supply of experienced home-science teachers, however, still presents a difficult problem ; a large proportion of teachers in this subject marry at the end of a few years, and practically all the incoming teachers are quite untrained in school method. Conclusion, In every case we have attempted, as far as time would permit, to discuss with teachers all points of special interest to them. Our views on the best methods to be followed in the teaching of alt the principal subjects have been fully set forth in the inspection reports, copies of which are in the hands of both Principals and Boards, and we feel it unnecessary to cover the ground again.

Principals have continued to show a gratifying readiness to discuss debatable points with us, and in almost every case a desire to hear of our experience with better or different methods obtaining in other schools has been evident. Teachers in all schools have rendered us every possible assistance, and have displayed in most instances an obvious desire to profit as much as possible by our visits of inspection. T. R.
