1. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, —• Wellington, 7th June, 1926. We have the honour to present our report for the year 1925. Unfortunately, the outstanding feature of the year has been the dislocation caused by the severe epidemic of infantile paralysis that affected the whole Dominion in the summer and early autumn. The reopening of the schools after the summer vacation was necessarily delayed for a period of over two months. By reducing the number and the length of the vacations the majority of schools were able to retain a session of thirtythree to thirty-five weeks. It was realized before the end of February that the reopening would be fairly late in the year, and several schools had even at that early date inaugurated a scheme of instruction through the post; others joined in later at the request of the Department, and by the middle of March practically all schools were engaged in some form of assignment work for the benefit of their pupils. In many instances the newspaper-proprietors generously assisted the schools by publishing assignments in the local Press, and the Postal authorities also made concessions. The response of the pupils was in most centres very gratifying. In not a few instances teachers found that they were being overwhelmed with piles of written work sent in for correction and comment, and many found that they were being called upon to work far longer hours than during the ordinary school session. Several Principals have spoken- to us in glowing terms of the zeai and industry displayed by members of their staffs in this pre-sessional work. Unfortunately, certain subjects, especially in first-year forms, had necessarily to be left untouched, but it is undeniable that in those schools where a serious effort had been made the middle and upper forms were able to settle down to advanced work much more effectively than in those where the pupils had not been kept in touch with their subjects. There is no doubt, too, that most of the staffs concerned gained valuable knowledge of the real difficulties that confront the pupil in the various subjects. They benefited much, moreover, from the staff discussions on methods of teaching and other topics that were held in most schools. We wish to place on record our appreciation of the energy and vigour displayed by the Principals and staffs in meeting a very difficult situation. The work of the Inspectors was naturally hampered by the dislocation referred to above. It had been hoped to complete during the year the triennial round of full inspections, but this was, unfortunately, found to be impossible. Time, however, was found for a detailed inspection of Nelson College, Nelson Girls' College, Timaru Boys', Timaru Girls', Gore, Southland Boys', Southland Girls', Otago Boys', and Otago Girls' High Schools. Visits were also paid to the Waitaki Junior High Schools. Several private schools were visited in connection with applications for registration as private secondary schools. The sittings of the Appeal Board were attended in April. The Board sat in Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin ; eleven teachers appealed against their classification ; one appeal was allowed by consent and one by the Appeal Board, seven were disallowed, and two were withdrawn. Each of the thirty-six secondary schools was visited during the latter half of the year, although in most cases the visits were somewhat curtailed. Recommendations for senior free places and " higher " leaving-certificates were dealt with on very much the same lines as those described in previous reports, except that in this instance only a few written tests were set to the candidates. This departure from the usual procedure was not regarded as an altogether desirable innovation, but the retardation due to the epidemic and the limited time available left scarcely any other course open. It was assumed that the relative standard of proficiency obtaining in each school was equivalent to that which had been discovered by more exhaustive tests in the two preceding years, and a careful scrutiny was made of the candidates' class records and their showing in school examinations in order to determine which of them were the most deserving of inclusion in the group to be accepted from the school in question. It may be added that a scrutiny of the results obtained by the rejected candidates in the subsequent Intermediate Examination proves that a just estimate of the standard had been made in the case of nearly every school; in the few schools excepted the estimate had apparently erred on the side of leniency. As a result of the Inspectors' recommendations senior free places were awarded in accordance with clause 7 (c) to 2,563 candidates ; another 135 were successful in obtaining them by passing the Intermediate Examination in November. Some 615 " higher " and 102 " lower " leaving-certificates were also issued oh the Inspectors' recommendations. Objections to the grading and staffing systems have now become much less frequent. The existing cpmplaints fall for the most part under two heads—the complaints of assistants that the staffing schedule does not provide for a sufficiently high proportion of A and B grade positions, and those of Boards in the smaller towns that they cannot get properly qualified teachers to fill such positions. The contradictory nature of these complaints is obvious, but not inexplicable. So long as the present reluctance of teachers to take up work outside the large centres exists the overstaffing of city schools with higher-grade teachers and the corresponding understaffing of the remoter schools must continue. It must be admitted that it is no light undertaking for the married male teacher to

2

E.—6

move to another centre in order to obtain promotion, as the expenses of his transfer will, as a rale, swallow up several years' increase in salary. Strangely enough, however, the remote schools find it much more difficult to obtain women teachers than to obtain men. It is obvious that the high cost of transfer expenses cannot be the determining factor in the case of the women, yet the fact remains that not even A grade salaries with an additional emolument for work as first woman assistant in a mixed school will, as a rule, tempt teachers away from the cities. The list of approved text-books continues to serve a useful purpose. In several instances publishers have agreed to reduce the price of a book in order to secure its retention on the list, and publishing firms, both Home and local, have displayed enterprise in revising old publications or in issuing new ones in an endeavour to have them retained or placed on the list. Several schools persist in using a few of the antiquated text-books of the last century. This tendency is probably more marked in the large boys' schools than elsewhere —and a few adhere to expensive books which might well be replaced by others of equal work and less cost. The special training of teachers for secondary-school work presents the same difficulties as it did when we discussed the situation in our, report of two years ago. It is gratifying to note, however, that there is evidence of a desire for closer co-operation between the Principals of the training colleges and the Heads of the larger city schools. The utilization of a large secondary school as a practising field for specially selected training-college students under the supervision of the Principals and capable Heads of Departments has produced very satisfactory results indeed during the past three or four years at Wellington College, and latterly a few other schools have been led to make experiments along the same lines. It is, however, unfortunate that except in the case of two large boys' schools the Heads of Departments cannot possibly be given sufficient free time to undertake supervision of the nature indicated. Should the practice of sending training-college students to selected schools become the recognized procedure, it would appear that some special staffing-allowance would need to be made for the schools so utilized. That our young secondary teachers are not as entirely lacking in training as some critics loudly proclaim is evident from the fact that 65 per cent, of the men and 40 per cent, of the women entering the secondary service last year had passed through a trainingcollege course. It must be admitted, however, that very few of these trained teachers know anything about methods of teaching secondary-school subjects, and it is just here where the weakness of the present system, or lack of system, becomes apparent. A practicable remedy, however, is not easy to formulate in a country such as ours with its widely scattered University and training colleges. The Dalton plan appears to have been definitely abandoned, and it is no longer a recognized feature of the organization of any of our schools. Sporadic experiments conducted along these lines by a few enthusiasts are still to be met with, especially in the teaching of history, a subject which lends itself admirably to the application of the plan. We fear, however, that the term " assignments " has become anathema to many teachers after their trying experience during the epidemic period, and there is certainly no widespread desire to repeat or extend Dalton experiments. It is well to point out here that our schools are, unfortunately, not as well equipped with libraries as they should be, and consequently the " laboratory " work which features so largely in the Dalton and similar plans is cramped for want of suitable material. The question of assistance for school libraries is one that will need to be faced in the near future. Both Mr. Tate's Commission on post-primary education arid the University Commission naturally evoked considerable interest in our schools, and many Principals and several assistants were given opportunities to voice their opinions on various aspects of secondary education. It is not proposed to discuss here the comments on our secondary system expressed in Mr. Tate's admirable report or the recommendations affecting the relationship of the schools to the University that were made by the Commission. Quite apart from the great value of their decisions and recommendations, the advent of the two Commissions has in itself been productive of much good in arousing among our teachers a spirit of inquiry into the aims and the efficiency of our existing system of education. Among other things, it has made us realize a little more clearly than before how much the Matriculation Examination has dominated our secondary-school courses in the past. It is very much to be regretted that Mr. Tate was unable, owing to the epidemic, to see any of our secondary schools at work. As in previous reports, we have again refrained from discussing in detail the teaching methods employed in the various schools, or their curricula, organization, or administration. These matters have been dealt with, often at great length, in the various inspection reports. In regard to curricula, however, it is interesting to note that the agriculture course, though not yet by any means popular, has held its ground in the past two years ; in several schools it has made some slight headway towards obtaining a reasonable measure of support. There is no doubt that the gradual return of more prosperous times for the farming community during 1923 and 1924 has helped considerably to swell the ranks of our agricultural pupils. When times are hard on the farm the farmer's son either does not enter the secondary school at all, or, if he does, he is naturally anxious to adopt any vocation but farming. If given a choice he will follow the educational course that leads him to other vocations in which there appear, perhaps quite erroneously, to be prospects of earning a competency with much less drudgery. Regarding the quality of the teaching in general, we feel that there has been great improvement in several subjects during recent years. Perhaps the advance has been most marked in the teaching of English. The old formal treatment of the subject has given place with most teachers to a more enlightened endeavour to cultivate the pupil's interest in literature, to teach him to write good English by the constant study and imitation of the very best models, and to encourage him to speak clearly and well by means of class discussions and debates. The study of grammar which formerly occupied so much of the time devoted to English has now been put in a subordinate position. The results are seen in the excellence of some of the composition work (prose and verse), particularly of

3

E.—6

the imaginative type, and in the greater joy that teacher and pupil alike gain from the English lesson. This newer type of teaching calls for higher qualities of taste and scholarship than did the old, but the reward is rich for those who possess these qualities. The success that has attended the introduction of phonetics in the early stages of the teaching of French has created an interest in the science generally. Teachers of English are looking to it to help them to correct faulty speech in the mother-tongue. Great interest was shown in the proposed vacation school ill French and English phonetics and speech-training which had been planned for May, 1926. The secondary schools are now paying more attention to music than in past years. In most cases the services of a visiting teacher have to be engaged, but some of the best work in music has been accomplished in schools which are fortunate in having on their own staffs one or more capable musicians. The advent of the high-class gramophone, it may be added, has done much to make the teaching of musical appreciation possible even where there are 110 experts available. We conclude by remarking that in spite of a trying year all ranks of the service have shown a buoyant spirit in the problems that affect their schools. They feel that the next few years will be ones of great interest and development, and that change is necessary and inevitable in many features of the work and organization of their schools, and they are eager to throw their weight into any reforms that are brought about as a result of the recent Commissions' reports.
