1. EXTRACT FROM THE FORTY-SIXTH 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 at present 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. There were thirty-six secondary schools in operation, including fourteen separate schools for boys, thirteen for girls, and nine for boys and girls. Two of the boys' schools, although endowed with public property, do not come directly under the control of the Government. The remaining secondary schools are managed by separate Boards in accordance with special Acts constituting them, and the provisions of the Education Act and regulations thereunder. There were sixty-one secondary departments of district high schools, thirteen technical high schools, ten Maori secondary schools, and twenty-seven registered private secondary schools, making a total of 147 schools providing secondary education. Number of Pupils receiving Secondary Education. The total number of pupils attending the thirty-six secondary schools mentioned above at the end of 1921 and 1922 respectively was : — r- 1921. , , 1922. Boys. Girls. Total. Boys. Girls. Total. Roll (exclusive of lower departments).. 5,583 4,447 10,030 5,971 4,765 10,736 - The roll number was 706, or 7 per cent, greater than in the previous year. In the last ten years the roll number of secondary schools has nearly doubled itself. The roll number on the Ist March, which is regarded as the highest roll number during the year, was 11,593.

Of the 12,274 children who left the primary schools in 1921 having passed 86, 4,087 entered secondary schools In 1922, 1,709 the secondary departments of district high schools, and 1,941 technica high schools, hence a total of 7,737, or 63 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 primary schools in 1921, of whom nearly onequarter had not passed S6. In addition to the pupils mentioned as having proceeded to a secondary course of education, 2,116 entered technical schools or classes, of which number 1,371 had passed S6 and 365 had not. Length of Stay and Age of Pupils. The following table gives some indication of the length of time pupils are remaining at secondary schools of various types : — Secondary District Technical Schools. nigh High Boys. Girls. Schools. Schools. (a.) Percentage leaving at end of first year or during second year 22-8 23-6 37-7 29-5 (b.) Percentage leaving at end of second year or during third year 19-4 24-3 26-7 40-0 (c.)

Percentage leaving at end of fifth year or during sixth year.. 9-9 7-3 .. 2-2 (/.) Percentage remaining at end of sixth year .. .. 3-2 2-0 In the case of secondary schools the proportion of pupils leaving at the end of the first year shows a regrettable increase, which can be accounted for only by the financial depression of 1922. The proportion leaving at the end of the second year was smaller than in the previous year, so that taking the two years together the results are approximately the same. As has been frequently pointed out, however,

one year spent at a secondary school, where a new course of work is being entered upon,Sjis practically useless, and represents little more than a waste of time and money. A still higher proportion, 37-7 per cent., remain only one year in the secondary departments of district high schools, but as the course of work taken there is often more in the nature of a coping-stone to the primary course the matter is not quite so serious. The case of technical high schools, where 29-5 per cent, of the pupils leave at the end of the first year, calls for serious consideration. The whole matter is dominated by the age at which pupils begin their secondary course, which in New Zealand averages fourteen years, and is considered to be two years too old. Post-primary Education. An experiment is at present being carried out with a view to finding a remedy for the unsatisfactory condition mentioned in the previous paragraph. A junior high school has been established in Auckland which children enter after passing S4 and at which they may remain for four years. The regulations provide for threefifths of the course of work entered upon to be common to all the pupils and to include such subjects as English, arithmetic, geography, history and civics, general science, and drawing and practical geometry, the remaining two-fifths having an academic commercial, industrial (including domestic), agricultural, or art bias, according to the special aptitude of the individual. Over six hundred pupils are attending this junior high school, and, although it is too early to report definitely upon the success of the scheme, reports to hand go to prove that the experiment will be a successful one. When the system is extended, 'junior high schools will probably in some cases be attached to primary schools and in others to secondary schools. In the meantime, wide inquiries are being made as to the success of the various adaptations of the junior high school in other countries.

Curriculum of Secondary Schools and District High Schools. Although the curriculum of secondary schools is not specifically defined by departmental regulations, the definition of 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 subiects 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 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. Written and oral tests are also given to second-year pupils in English, arithmetic, and usually in other subjects up to the standard of the Intermediate Examination, and Principals' recommendations for the award of senior free places and of the various leaving certificates are dealt with. Besides an academic course, secondary schools now generally provide shorter complete courses for pupils not intending to go on to the University or to enter a profession, in addition to courses with a commercial, agricultural, or a domestic bias. 57 per cent, of the boys and 30 per cent, of the girls now take Latin, while over 80 per cent, of the pupils learn French. Commercial subjects were taken in 1922 by one thousand seven hundred boys and one thousand girls, agriculture by over five hundred boys, and dairy science by two hundred boys. In the district high schools the courses are still more of a nature directly bearing upon the vocations shortly to be followed by the pupils, many of the schools providing a full rural course of instruction. The result is that such a subject as Latin is taken by only 25 per cent, of the pupils, while agricultural science is taken by 71 per cent, of the boys and 23 per cent, of the girls, woodwork and metalwork by 62 per cent, of the boys, and needlework and cookery by 64 per cent, of the girls. Some pupils in these schools prefer to take the ordinary academic course, with the result that the burden laid upon the teachers, who number only one or two in most of the schools, is very great. The Dalton plan is being practised successfully in a number of these schools, and Inspectors report that in spite of frequent changes in the staff and often insufficient and improvised accommodation the standard of work is gradually rising. At present an investigation is being made by the Department into the whole question of the secondary-school curriculum. The Department has recently issued a draft list of text-books approved for use in secondary schools, district high schools, and the general courses in technical high schools. In compiling the list the|Department was influenced by the cost of the books, their suitability for various grades and types of pupils, the present very general use of certain books, and the various methods of teaching employed. Length of the School Year. An investigation made into the number of holidays given in secondary and technical high schools during the year revealed considerable variation in the practice of the different schools. The longest school year was one of 392 half-days, and the shortest one of 351 half-days, or 35 school weeks. A working-year of this length is considered much too short, and the opinion is expressed that 390 half-days, or 38 full school weeks, is the minimum length of school year desirable in schools of this type. It is proposed to take steps in the direction of securing some measure of uniformity in this respect. Destination of Pupils leaving the Secondary Schools. From returns received concerning pupils leaving the secondary schools at the end of 1922, it appears that 6 per cent, of the number went on to the University, 15 per cent, entered the teaching profession, and 10 per cent, entered other schools or classes for clerical training. Farming was taken up by 23 per cent, of the boys

E.—-6

and home duties by 37 per cent, of the girls. Other avocations entered upon were : Government offices, 7 per cent, of the boys ; clerical work in insurance offices, agencies, &c, 13 per cent, (boys and girls) ; engineering and allied trades, 4 per cent, (boys); other trades, 4 per cent, of the boys ; and such professions as surveying, law, architecture, &c, by 6 per cent of the boys ; warehouses and shops each 2 per cent, of the boys. From similar returns supplied by technical high schools rather contrasting figures are obtained. In this case only 1 per cent, went on to the University, 3 per cent, took up teaching, and 5 per cent, went on to other schools or classes. On the other hand, 15 per cent, of the boys took up engineering and allied trades, 10 per cent, took up other trades, 11 per cent, went into shops, and 3 per cent, into factories. Farming was taken up by 13 per cent, of the boys and home duties by 43 per cent, of the girls. Commercial work was followed by 13 per cent, of the boys and 25 per cent, of the girls, and professions such as surveying, law, &c, were entered upon by 2 per cent, of the boys. Hostels for Pupils of Secondary Schools. (Table K6.) The advantages of having hostels attached to the secondary schools for the accommodation of country pupils are fully realized, and financial assistance is being given as far as possible by the Government for the erection of hostel buildings. Owing to the financial position all that is desired has not yet been accomplished, and a few large schools are still without hostels, while at other schools the hostels are too small. In nearly every instance the hostels are now controlled by the Boards of Governors, and from the balance-sheets to band of eighteen such hostels it appears that twelve made a profit and six a loss on the year's working. The profits ranged in individual cases from 2 per cent to 23 per cent, of the income, and the losses from 1 per cent, to 41 per cent., the average profit on all hostels being 5 per cent, of the income. In the few cases where heavy losses were made there was some fault in the administration, which is being pointed out to the controlling Board with a view to having it remedied. The hostels vary greatly in size, the smallest accommodating only ten pupils and the largest 145 (excluding Christ's College, Christchurch, and Wanganui Collegiate School, which between them accommodate 335 boys). At the hostels attached to the public secondary schools a total of 838 boys and 354 girls of the secondary departments were accommodated and 180. lower-department pupils. In addition to these numbers, 57 pupils were boarding at establishments approved by the Principals, and 633 were boarding privately. For these last-named, and also for the large number of country children prevented from attending school owing to the boarding difficulty, or forced to make long railway journeys daily, accommodation where there is dependable supervision and desirable environment should be provided as circumstances permit. Free Secondary Education. (Table K4.) Free secondary education is provided on an extensive scale, junior and senior free places being tenable at secondary schools, district high schools, technical high schools, and other 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 for three years. The means of qualification are — (1.) For entrance to secondary schools—(a) Special examination for Junior National Scholarships, (6) the certificate of proficiency. (2.) For entrance to technical high schools and district 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 these schools is deemed to be equivalent to a certificate of proficiency.

E.—6

A recent amendment in the regulations provides for the award of free places in any type of secondary school to specially recommended proficiency-certificate holders over the prescribed age of fifteen years. It is agreed that such pupils should as a rule take up a somewhat practical course of instruction, and that they should preferably enter a technical or a technical high school. Children who have been retarded owing to their living in the country or other external circumstances, and those who, although not bright in literary work, show sufficient merit in other subjects to warrant a continued education, are thus provided for. 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. Recommendation is the qualification now frequently offered, the number receiving senior free places in this manner in 1922 being 2,609, representing nearly three-fifths of the total number of senior free places gained. As a result of the free-place system 16,025 children were receiving free secondary education in 1922, an increase of 2,203 over the number for the previous year. Of this total, 9,446 were in secondary schools, 2,492 in district high schools, 3,978 in technical high schools, and 108 in Maori secondary schools. The number represents 94 per cent, of the pupils of all Government schools affording secondary education.

(Tables K4 and 8L5.) 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

E.^-6

8

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 S6 pupils. The standard of qualification fixed for the examinations of 1922 was 63f per cent, for Junior Scholarships and 64| for Senior Scholarships.' In order to give better opportunities to country pupils, who are considerably handicapped in preparing for these examinations, the regulations were amended in 1922 to provide for the award of not less than twenty-five junior scholarships to qualifying candidates from schools not higher than Grade Hla (eighty pupils). In order to assist them to qualify, compensating marks may be allotted to candidates from such small schools : 10 per cent, of the marks actually assigned to pupils from the smallest schools (one to twenty pupils) and 5 per cent, to pupils of Grade II schools (twenty-one to thirty-five pupils). The results of the examination were as follows : 231 candidates qualified for Junior National Scholarships, of which number twenty-five were from schools with not more than eighty pupils and fifty-seven were pupils of secondary schools. The number of candidates qualifying for Senior National Scholarships was 130. Of those who took the alternative programme, provided specially to meet the needs of scholars following a rural or domestic course, none were successful. 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. A revision of the scholarship systemSfwith a view to expending the money involved more profitably is at present under consideration. The figures below indicate the number and the value of scholarships current in December, 1922. The number of scholarship-holders is, of course, included in the number of free-place holders shown in the preceding section.

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 1922 was 200. Of the holders 101 were also Government free pupils under the regulations. War Bursaries for Soldiers' Dependants. Regulations provide for the award of bursaries to dependants of killed or disabled members of the New Zealand* Expcditionary|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 (h), 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 1922 the number of bursaries held at secondary schools was forty, the expenditure thereon being £377.

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 leaving certificate 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 1921, and in 1922: 1912. 1921. 1922. Higher leaving certificates awarded . . .. .. 64 305 439 Lower leaving certificates awarded .. .. .. 32 255 240 Applications for certificates declined .. .. ..20 80 102 Total number of applications .. .. 116 640 781 Staffs of Secondary Schools. (Table K3.) The number of full-time teachers on the staffs of secondary schools at the end of 1922 was 442, as compared with 405 in the previous year. This numbei includes 21 male and 13 female principals and 214 male and 194 female assistants. In addition a number of part-time teachers were employed. The staffing of schools now being controlled by regulation, the average number of pupils to each assistant teacher in the various schools is fairly uniform, and, taking the highest roll during the year of all schools, works out at twenty-seven pupils per assistant teacher. Of the total number of assistants 19 per cent, are classified in the highest grade (Grade A), 23 per cent, in Grade B, 29 per cent, in Grade C, and 31 per cent, in Grade D. The difficulty of obtaining suitable teachers to fill positions in secondary schools has somewhat diminished so far as schools situated in the cities are concerned ; there still remains, however, an inclination on the part of the teachers to avoid the country schools, which are experiencing serious difficulties in obtaining sufficiently qualified teachers. It has not yet been possible to carry into effect the Department's plans for the training of secondary-school teachers. The establishment of a Chair of Education at each of the University colleges will, however, result in many prospective secondary-school teachers including this subject in their University course, and thus equipping themselves more effectively for their proposed vocation. Good work continues to be done among the junior teachers in many of the larger secondary schools, where the heads of departments assist them in arranging schemes of work and generally in improving their methods of teaching. The head teacher of a district high school controls the secondary department and takes some part in the instruction, receiving on that account an addition to his ordinary salary of from £30 to £50 according to the number of pupils in the secondary department. Special assistants are also employed for the secondary departments ;in 1922 there were 117 such assistants—47 men and 70 women. In these schools, especially the more remote ones, considerable difficulty is experienced in obtaining the services of fully qualified assistants. Even with the assistance in some cases of itinerant instructors the task of covering the wide curriculum of the district high school is no small one to be undertaken by one or two assistants. In addition, the prospects of promotion are not so good as in the ordinary secondary schools, so that, as at present constituted, district high schools do not offer positions of the most tempting nature to teachers qualified in secondary work.

Salaries of Secondary-school Teachers. The Dominion scale of salaries of secondary-school teachers, which came into force in 1920 and was subsequently amended by the provisions of the Public Expenditure Adjustment Act, 1921-22, briefly is as follows : Principals —Men, £570 to £860 ; women, £415 to £645. Assistants—Men, £183 to £520 ; women, £158 to £390. 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 the classification of the position held. The total rate of salaries, including those of part-time teachers, as payable in December, 1922, was £155,581, or £14 2s. per head of the highest roll number. In the individual schools the cost per head of salaries ranges as follows: Boys' schools, £14 6s. to £18 2s. ; mixed schools, £12 6s. to £16 10s. ; girls' schools, £11 Bs. to £14 16s. The following figures indicate the average rates of salary prevailing at threeyearly intervals since the year 1916 :— Average Salaries of Full-time Teachers in Secondary Schools, , 1916. j ,— 1919. , , !922. , Males.

Of 214 male assistants the salaries of nineteen were over £500, of fifty-six between £400 and £501, of sixty-nine between £300 and £401, and of seventy below £301. Of 194 female assistants the salaries of nineteen were over £350, of thirty-eight between £300 and £351, of fifty-five between £250 and £301, and of eighty-two under £251. In considering these figures it should be borne in mind that nearly one-third of the teachers are classified in the lowest grade, and that many have had no training in teaching and no teaching experience whatever. 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 1922 were as follows : Male assistants, £302 ; female assistants, £289 ; all assistants, £294. The total annual rate of salaries paid to teachers of district high schools, including the special payments to head teachers, was £35,566, which is equivalent to £13 10s. per head of the average weekly roll number. 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. Twelve secondary schools (including Christ's College, Christchurch) have lower departments attached to them, two such departments having been closed in 1922. The total number of pupils in 1922 was 590, as compared with 774 in 1921. The roll number included 344 boys and 246 girls, and the total number of teachers was twenty-three (eight males and fifteen 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 average £11 per annum and the boarding fees £50. "Finance. (Tables K7--K9.) The income of secondary schools is derived from the following sources : — (i.) Bents 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.) 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 ; (6) subsidies on voluntary contributions ; (a) 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, 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. The " net annual income " and receipts from tuition fees are deducted from the amount payable to the High School Board by the Department for salaries.

The expenditure of £61,000 on new buildings, &c, included, among other items, part of the cost of a new boys' school at Auckland, of rebuilding the boys' school at Oamaru, of a new site at Whangarei, of additions to the buildings at Hamilton and New Plymouth, and of a hostel at («orc. The Government's contribution towards the expenditure was £46,000. The cost of maintenance, including salaries and incidental expenses, was practically the same as in the previous year. The Department pays the Boards the cost of salaries (less net income from endowments), and also a grant of £2-5 per pupil to cover the cost of incidental expenses. The cost of incidentals ranged in the various schools from £1-6 to £4-6, the average cost being £2-25. The total net income from endowments, being the sum the Boards contributed towards the cost of salaries, was £.17,000. As stated above, the majority of the hostels are being managed without any financial loss, and when certain changes are made in the administration of one or two of them it should be unnecessary for any of them to lose money on the year's working. Several secondary-school Boards have raised loans on the security of their income from endowments with which to carry out their building operations, the loans being repaid gradually from the said income. The total indebtedness of all Boards on this account is about £75,000, the value of their property, of course, far exceeding this amount.

2. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Wellington, 9th June, 1923. bIE> Work of ran Yeae. In the earlier portion of the year practically all the secondary schools of the South Island, together with the "Wellington Girls' College, were inspected, from three to live days being spent in each school. Detailed reports upon the organization, the methods of teaching, and the standard of work attained were forwarded, as hitherto, to the Principals and Boards of Governors concerned, and in many cases these matters were also discussed in conferences with the staffs or sections of staffs. Several registered private secondary schools in Dunedin and Christchurch were also visited and reported upon, and certain private schools in Dunedin, Invercargill, Timaru, Christchurch, and Wellington were visited in connection with their applications to be registered as secondary schools. In the latter part of the year Ashburton and Marlborough High Schools were inspected, and all secondary schools in both Islands were visited in connection with the award of senior free places and leaving certificates on Principals' recommendations ; twelve registered private schools were also visited in connection with recommendations for higher leaving certificates only. Candidates for senior free places were in practically every case given written tests in English and arithmetic, and brief written or oral tests were frequently given in French, mathematics, and science. As a result of our investigations free places were awarded in accordance with clause 7 (c) to over 2,200 candidates. Some 390 higher and 210 lower leaving certificates were also issued on the Inspectors' recommendation. Since the introduction of the grading system much of the time during each visit to a school must necessarily be devoted to a close observation of individual teachers at work. The knowledge obtained by this means and also as the result of careful and prolonged consultation with the Principal enables the- Inspectors to arrive at a reliably accurate estimate of the teacher's efficiency in practically every instance. It is upon these estimates that the revision of the classification list in December is based. The sittings of the Appeal Board took up less of the Inspectors' time than in the preceding year. It was found unnecessary for the Board to sit either in Dunedin or in Christchurch ; six appeals were heard in Wellington and five in Auckland. Only seventeen teachers out of a total of over four hundred appealed against their classification ; four of these appeals were subsequently withdrawn, two were allowed by consent, three were allowed by the Appeal Board, and the remaining eight were unsuccessful, The above figures appear to justify a belief that there is general satisfaction with the grading system, and that on the whole it is being applied equitably and reasonably. A few anomalies still persist, but in process of time these will naturally disappear. Staffing. The comments in our last report on the inability of many schools, especially those in remote or small towns, to secure suitable teachers apply with equal force to the staffing conditions that obtained during the past year. There was still the same marked disinclination on the part of teachers to leave schools in the large towns in order to take up positions of a higher grade and salary in the smaller centres. The payment of reasonable transfer expenses would no doubt induce several married men to take up these new positions, but it would not serve to overcome the present marked reluctance of the unmarried men and the women teachers to do so. The regulations bearing upon the classification of secondary-school teachers were amended early in December. The most important effect of the amendments was to reduce materially the length of service required by teachers to qualify for the various grades, and as a consequence the last annual classification list contained a larger number than usual of promotions of teachers to the higher grades. An examination of the list as published in December shows that there were at that time thirty-three A grade teachers, thirty-four B grade teachers, and forty-four C grade, teachers waiting to obtain positions of a higher grade than those they held. In order that vacancies may be filled by the appointment of sufficiently qualified teachers it is highly desirable that there should bo such a " waiting list "of some considerable magnitude. It is to be hoped, therefore, that during the present year the smaller schools will be more successful in securing teachers than in the. past.

E.—6

There are, however, other factors which contribute to the creation of the present staffing difficulties. In the first place the attendance at secondary schools has been increasing rapidly of late years. The total March roll number of the departmental secondary schools in 1920 was 8,526 ; this had risen to 10,189 in 1921 and to 11,068 in 1922, an increase of very nearly 30 per cent, in two years. The supply of teachers has manifestly failed to keep pace with this phenomenal rate of expansion. Again, it must be remembered that the technical high schools and the rapidly increasing number of district high schools are strong competitors for the services of the graduate teacher ; the salaries obtaining in these schools are in the main as attractive as those paid to the secondary teachers, and in the junior positions they are often somewhat higher. The Dalton Plan. In several schools a portion of the work has been carried on during the year on the lines of the Dalton plan. It is difficult so far to decide whether the system would prove a success if universally adopted, as the experiments were conducted as a rule with one or at most several classes in a school, and without full library and laboratory equipment. The experiments have, however, proved interesting and instructive as revealing the weaknesses as well as the strength of the plan. It is quite possible that some of its features might be used with advantage as a means of encouraging individual effort. The effect of its general adoption upon the organization of a school can only be determined after several years' trial. Heads of Departments. Four of the large schools have availed themselves of the regulations providing for the appointment of heads of departments. These have fully justified their selection by invaluable work done in connection with the organization of the work in their special subjects, and in the instruction and supervision of the less experienced teachers. This system is not only of great assistance to the Principal of a large school, but provides a means of training teachers who come direct from the University without lirovious training. Geneeal. There are clear indications that the average efficiency of the teaching is improving in the secondary schools. Teachers as a rule are interested in recent educational developments, and there appears to be a genuine desire to depart from stereotyped, mechanical methods in favour of those which are more closely related to the life of the community. Probably the best work is done outside the class-room in fostering a healthy interest in school games, physical drill, and the various hobbies that provide occupation for leisure hours. Class singing has received increased attention, and community singing has been very successfully introduced into several boys' schools ; the singing of patriotic songs has done much to encourage and foster a spirit of loyalty. The effect upon character produced by several years spent in a good secondary school is incalculable, and there can be no doubt that the boys and girls who pass the adolescent period in a healthy atmosphere of this kind, both physical and moral, must leave it better fitted to do their duty as citizens, whatever calling they may follow.
