1. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir,— Wellington, 7th June, 1924. We have the honour to present our report on secondary education for the year 1923. In January Mr. J. Drummond, M.A., who had acted as Chief Inspector for a period of two years, left the Department in order to take up his duties as Principal of the Auckland Grammar School. For the following six months the whole of the work was undertaken by one Inspector only, as Mr. H. P. Kidson, M.A., B.Sc, was unable to commence duty until the middle of July. As a consequence less ground than usual was covered in the inspection visits made in the earlier portion of the year. It was found possible, however, to inspect the schools at Gisborne, Napier, Dannevirke, Wanganui, Hamilton, Thames, Epsom, Mount Albert, and Whangarei, as well as several private schools. Visits in connection with the award of senior free places must, of course, continue to be paid to every school throughout the Dominion during the latter part of the year. The procedure followed in past years in dealing with the candidates recommended has in the main been adhered to ; it has been described in previous reports and needs no further explanation here. As a result of the Inspectors' investigations, senior free places were awarded, in accordance with clause 7 (o) to over 2,340 candidates. Some 370 higher and 170 lower leaving-certificates were also issued on the Inspectors' recommendations. The sittings of the Appeal Board took up even less of the Inspectors' time than in the preceding years. The Board sat in Auckland and in Wellington only ; three appeals were heard in the former place and five in the latter. Out of a total of over four hundred teachers only twenty-five appealed against their classification ; fourteen of these appeals were subsequently withdrawn, three were allowed by consent, two were allowed by the Appeal Board, and the remaining six were unsuccessful. On the whole, teachers appear to be satisfied with the application of the grading scheme. Probably the satisfaction would be still more marked, in so far as the younger teachers are concerned, if some of the inevitable anomalies associated with the introduction of the scheme did not appear to make their own classification somewhat unfair by comparison. Such anomalies, however, will naturally disappear as the older teachers drop out of the profession. By direction of the Hon. Minister, steps were taken early in the year to reduce the variety and number of text-books used in the secondary schools of the Dominion. A sufficiently comprehensive list of approved books was accordingly drawn up and was gazetted in May ; it is to become fully operative in 1925. In compiling the list it has been found advisable to retain for the present several mediocre but widely used books, and, on the other hand, to exclude some excellent ones by reason of their high cost. Several old-fashioned and comparatively poor books have been banished, and at the same time those introduced by the more progressive teachers have not been neglected. The list, though meeting with considerable criticism on minor points, has on the whole been well received ; it should ultimately not only reduce the expense to pupils moving from school to school, but also materially improve the quality of the text-books used in the schools. In the last report reference was made to the difficulty experienced by remote schools in obtaining teachers. Unfortunately, there has been but very little improvement in the situation, and the difficulty has continued to be a very real one throughout the past year. Some Boards were compelled to advertise several times before receiving applications from even partially qualified teachers to fill vacancies on their staffs, and at least one school was forced to continue throughout the year with an incomplete staff. The intellectual and other advantages that the large centres offer evidently appeal more to teachers than the opportunities for more rapid promotion that are now undoubtedly offered in the schools in the smaller centres ; as a consequence the congestion of higher-grade teachers in the large schools is becoming more and more pronounced. There appears to be no direct remedy for this under the present system, but in time, no doubt, the " waiting-list " in the higher grades in city schools will become so large that teachers will be induced to accept higher salaries in less attractive centres in preference to waiting for several years for promotion in their own schools. The latest classification list shows that forty-one A grade, twenty-three B grade, and forty C grade teachers were in December last waiting to obtain positions of a higher grade than those they held. Of these exactly one-half were on the staffs of the ten city schools, and the remainder were distributed among the twenty-five schools in smaller towns. On the other hand, seventeen teachers held positions of a grade above their own, and the majority of these were in the smaller schools. We would again point out that the steady increase in the number of pupils in secondary schools calls for a still greater supply of young teachers who are willing to take up secondary-school work in preference to primary or technical work. Young people leaving the secondary schools with a view to entering the teaching profession prefer as a rule the shorter and easier instructional course that is required to enable them to obtain quite satisfactory posts as primary teachers. Most of them cannot afford to spend four years at the University preparing themselves for positions in secondary schools, for which the remuneration is not appreciably higher than that obtainable elsewhere after a much shorter period of preparation. Apparently the training colleges afford only meagre opportunities for practice in secondary-school • teaching even to those students who have definitely expressed their intention to take up secondary work. The remedy is not easy to discover, but an aid to the solution of the difficulty evidently lies in the judicious use of the secondary schools in training-college centres as practising sohools for such students. Much will naturally depend upon the degree of correlation that can be devised by the Principals of the training colleges and the schools ; but a considerable amount of good work has

E.—6

already been accomplished in a North Island boys' school and in one southern girls' school. A limited number of selected students have been associated with the staffs of these schools and placed, as a rule, under the direct supervision of skilled heads of departments. The success of the scheme is evident from the expressions of appreciation received from the students. An alternative solution lies in the establishment of a training college for secondary-school teachers ; but with our scattered population and widely distributed University colleges this at present appears to bo far from practicable. In the meantime, therefore, it appears highly desirable that a scheme similar to the one described above should be adopted in each of the large centres. The lack of training among secondary-school teachers has become almost a byword. An analysis of the latest classification shows that the percentage of assistants who have passed through a trainingcollege course is 476 (men 46-6, women 49-5) ; if, in addition, there are included the teachers who have spent two or more years as pupil-teachers the percentage rises to 52-2 (men 52-5, women 51.*2). Of the seventy-one entrants to the ranks of the secondary teachers last year thirty-five held a trainingcollege certificate. These figures are still far from satisfactory, but they are very much higher than comments in certain quarters have led one to expect. We feel confident that the proportion of trained secondary teachers will steadily rise. An increasingly large number of senior pupils have approached us during our visits for information regarding the possibility of utilizing University bursaries whilst preparing themselves at training colleges for secondary-school work ; this in itself is a reassuring feature. There is an increasing tendency to take advantage of the regulations providing for the appointment of heads of departments ; as many as seven schools (five boys', one girls', and one mixed) had the system in operation last year, compared with four in the preceding one. Nine schools, however, which were entitled to appoint such heads did not avail themselves of the opportunity ; in most of them it was found impossible to give any member of the staff sufficient free time to enable him to carry out the duties prescribed by the regulations. Where heads of departments have been appointed, and more especially in the boys' schools, much excellent work has been accomplished by them in training young and inexperienced teachers and in improving the general standard of the work done in their own subjects. It need hardly be pointed out, however, that the success of the system depends to a very large extent indeed upon the personality of the individuals appointed as heads ; instances have not been found wanting where a lack of sympathy and tact has undoubtedly created friction and bitterness among members of a staff. Experiments with the Dalton plan, usually on a small scale, were persevered with in several schools, both departmental and private, during the past year. In one large boys' school the plan, after being in operation in the higher forms for nearly a year, was definitely abandoned at the close of the first term ; other schools were also led to give up the scheme for various reasons, such as the lack of enthusiasm among some of the class-teachers, the deficiency in library and " laboratory " equipment, or the apathy of the pupils themselves. One girls' school, however, continued with the plan throughout the year, and apparently with quite satisfactory results in most subjects. It would appear that our schools must wait until their library equipment is on a much more generous scale than at present if experiments with the plan are to meet with a convincing measure of success. In the meantime we feel certain that the experiments already made have not been fruitless, and that some of the spirit underlying the plan will survive in the schools that have given it a trial. We do not propose to discuss in this report either the curricula or the teaching methods followed in the various schools, as these have been frequently and adequately dealt with in inspection reports. In connection with the former topic, however, we must draw attention to the continued unpopularity of the agricultural course in our schools. In several instances not only have special laboratories been erected and equipped for the teaching of dairy science and agriculture, but specially trained instructors have also been appointed as teachers. It is very disappointing to these men and to the school authorities to find the percentage of agricultural pupils dwindling year by year. It is more than probable that the pronounced agricultural depression has been a very large contributing factor in late years to the unsatisfactory situation described above. Whether it is the only one remains to be seen in the current year, now that much better prospects appear to be in view for the farming community. One marked result of the grading scheme has been to induce a f_i:;_y large number of teachers to sit for higher degrees than those they possessed when they entered the profession. In our opinion, however, it is to be very much regretted that so many of these have elected to take honours in economics, philosophy, or history —subjects which as a rule do not fit a teacher to take any advanced class in a secondary school. There is, and always will be, a demand for teachers with special qualifications in languages, in mathematics, or in the sciences, and it is a pity that so many young teachers are neglecting these subjects for those which, from the point of view of the secondary school at least, are much less important. There is a strong feeling in some quarters that the academic qualifications for the A grade should be so amended as to restrict them to honours in specified subjects such as science, languages, or mathematics. There is, in our opinion, very much to be said in support of such a proposal. The tone of the secondary schools continues to be excellent; discipline, as a rule, appears to be easily maintained without any show of force. Teachers continue to show undoubted interest in their work, and in general are eager to discuss educational methods or reforms and to adopt those that appeal to them. It is only natural that some of them have yet much to learn before they are highly efficient, but the zeal and the industry displayed by the vast majority of them and their loyalty to the best traditions of the service are deserving of high praise. We have, &c, The Director of Education. H. P. Ki^oN,) InB P^ tors of Secondary Schools.
