1. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — Wellington, 6th June, 1927. I have the honour to present the report for the year 1926. The past year has witnessed considerable changes in the personnel of the staff of the inspectorate. Mr. H. P. Kidson resigned his position in January in order to take up his duties as Principal of the newly established Hutt Valley High School. Two months later Miss J. I. Hetherington, M.A., and Mr. W. T. Foster, M.A., B.Litt., joined the staff, and were followed in April by Mr. E. Caradus, B.Sc. An increase in the numerical strength of the inspectorate had undoubtedly been desirable for some time if effective supervision of secondary education were to be maintained and adequate assistance rendered to ; he teachers. Since 1918, when an additional Inspector was first, appointed to assist Mr. T. R. Cresswell, the number of secondary schools had risen by the end of 1926 from thirty-two to thirty-nine, and the number of secondary pupils from 7,018 to 12,558 —an increase of very nearly 79 per cent. In the same period the number of registered private secondary schools had practically doubled itself, rising from seventeen to thirty-two. In the past few years it has been found impossible to devote adequate attention to the private schools, but with the enlargement of the inspectorial staff there is now a reasonable prospect of overtaking some of the arrears in this branch of the work. In the earlier portion of the year full inspection visits were paid to eighteen of the departmental recondary school-: —twelve in the North and six in the South Island—and also to Kowhai Junior High School. At various times during the year opportunity was also taken to inspect nine of the private registered secondary schools. The desirability of effecting a closer co-operation in the inspection of primary and secondary schools, and between the two branches of the inspectorate, has been recognized for some considerable time, but the meagre strength of the secondary staff had definitely precluded the possibility of any effective scheme being put into operation. The recent doubling of the staff has, however, enabled some progress to be made, and during the past year the secondary departments of some thirty-five district high schools, chiefly in the Education Districts of Otago, Canterbury, Wellington, Wanganui, and Hawke's Bay, were inspected, and reports on them forwarded to the Senior Inspectors of the districts concerned. The primary Inspectors are still responsible for the control of these departments and for the grading of the teachers employed in them, but it is felt that the secondary Inspectors, with their naturally wider knowledge of the teaching of secondary-school subjects, will be in a position to render valuable assistance to district-high-school teachers by bringing them into touch with the best methods employed in our secondary schools. A closer correlation not only in methods and text-books, but also in curricula and in aims and ideals, is extremely desirable, and efforts are being steadily directed towards obtaining it. The sittings of the Classification Appeal Board were attended in April. The Board met as in the preceding year, in Wellington, Auckland, and Dunedin. The number of appeals (six) was even smaller than in previous years ; one appeal was allowed by the Board, two were disallowed, and two were withdrawn. The latter portion of the year was chiefly occupied with visits to each of the thirty-nine secondary schools for the purposes of inquiring into the recommendations of candidates for senior free places and for leaving-certificates. In more than half of the schools the classification of assistant teachers is also dependent upon observations made during these visits. So far as the selection of recommended candidates was concerned, the usual procedure, as described in previous reports, was reverted to, its intermission in 1925 being regarded as a temporary expedient only. The written tests have been more extensively employed during the past year than on any previous occasion. As a result of the Inspectors' recommendations senior free places were awarded in accordance with clause 7 (c) to 2,563 candidates from the departmental secondary schools ; another 157 were subsequently successful in obtaining them by passing the Intermediate Examination in November. The number of " higher " leaving-certificates awarded has latterly shown a tendency to increase at a remarkable rate ; last year no fewer than 789 were obtained by recommendation from secondary schools, 76 of these coming from registered private schools. Some 110 " lower " leaving-certificates were also issued. Little comment need be made on staffing problems and changes in the personnel of the staffs in the various schools during the past year. Boards of Governors in the smaller towns are now apparently experiencing much less difficulty in obtaining teachers for the lower grades than they formerly did. There is still, however, a distinct reluctance among women teachers to apply for A or B grade positions in schools outside the four centres ; even when an additional emolument for the position of first woman assistant in a mixed school is offered, Boards still find that no applications may be forthcoming and that the vacancies must be readvertised. The supply of young teachers with satisfactory qualifications is now much more equal to the demand than it was even a few years ago. It is satisfactory to note that the proportion of teachers entering the secondary service after completing a course at a training college is increasing year by year. In 1923, for example, only 49 per cent, of the entrants had been trained ; last year the percentage had risen to 67 (74 for men and 58 for women), whilst another 14 per cent, had had previous teaching

experience. This steady increase in the number of trained entrants is very gratifying, but it is. to be regretted that a considerable number of prospective secondary teachers do not consider it worth their while to spend even one year at a training college. The arrangement referred to in last year's report, whereby a few selected training-college students are given an opportunity for observational and practice work in the larger secondary schools, continues to operate quite satisfactorily at Wellington College and also at the Christchurch Girls' and the Otago Boys' High Schools. A somewhat disquieting feature in connection with the academic equipment of secondary-school teachers is the apparently unabated desire of students to obtain honours in such comparatively unsuitable subjects as economics, political science, and philosophy. Too many teachers have also graduated with honours in history in recent years. Students who propose to take up work in secondary schools would do well to realize that in the vast majority of cases A grade positions will naturally fall to those teachers who possess good qualifications in languages, in science, or in mathematics. The attention of young or prospective teachers is also drawn to another point. In the course of the next few years it is highly probable that the competition for junior positions will become much keener than it is at present. It is almost certain also that art, music, commercial subjects, and handwork, which have hitherto been regarded as " extras," and placed in the hands of part-time instructors, will form a much more important part of the curricula in our secondary schools; it is fairly obvious, therefore, that the applicant with special qualifications in one or other of these subjects in addition to his ordinary academic preparation will the more readily secure what appointments are offering. It is abundantly evident that the employment of part-time teachers has already reached its limits in many cases, and no extension of it can reasonably be expected. Where facilities are available for acquiring experience or training in one of the above-named special subjects young teachers are therefore advised to make full use of them. So far as ttie curricula of secondary schools are concerned, it is obvious that Principals and staffs are not altogether satisfied with the present position. The more progressive schools would, if it were reasonably practicable, willingly enlarge their programmes by including adequate instruction in subjects more adapted to the non-academic type of pupil. Woodwork and metalwork, and even drawing, have hitherto received but scant attention in our schools ; facilities and equipment have not, as a rule, been available in the past, nor has it been easy to secure adequately qualified part-time teachers of these subjects. Where junior high schools have been attached to senior schools the position has happily been relieved by the provision of workshops and full-time and special teachers in art, domestic crafts, metalwork, and woodwork. At least one other boys' school has made an independent move and has planned to include both metalwork and woodwork in its programme for 1927. Increasing attention is being paid, especially in the girls' schools, to speech-training and elocution. English phonetics have in the past been left too often to the third year of the secondary-school course, and then been treated merely as a subject for examination. At the request of the Inspector an attempt at scientific sound-study is now being made in most schools at the beginning of the course, and good results should follow. In this connection it is gratifying to note the marked interest displayed by teachers in the " vacation school " on phonetics and sound-study held in May of last year. The " school " was distinctly successful, and great credit is due to Miss. D. M. Stewart, Mademoiselle Favry, and all others responsible for its conduct and organization. The study of civics has shown some improvement in method, and the subject is now being treated on lines that are a little more practical. Up-to-date information on the part of the teacher is still sometimes lacking, a defect which a study of the daily paper and such publications as Current History, the Round Table, the local Year-book, and the leaflet on current events, would easily remove. Regarding the wider study of history as a whole, the results in most of our secondary schools are as yet somewhat disappointing. Too much attention is often paid to fact and incident —the mere framework —■ and too little to the picturesque and human element. Teachers are inclined to think too much of the neat arrangement of information for reproduction in examinations, and not enough of rousing intelligent curiosity and thoughtful judgment in their pupils. The Department has placed history among the compulsory subjects for its examinations with a view to ensuring time for a fruitful study of the subject and the creation of a lasting interest in it. It would be a matter for regret if mistaken aims in teaching were to produce a contrary effect —the stifling and the deadening of interest. References to the cramping effect of the Matriculation Examination upon secondary-school curricula have been repeated so often as to become wearisome. It is obviously unfair to lay the whole blame upon the University, which is undoubtedly entitled to demand a reasonable standard of education and attainment from entrants upon degree courses. It is the abuse of the Matriculation Examination by pupils and their parents, by the business community, and even by the schools themselves, and not its legitimate use as a means of entrance to University courses, that has led to its present unduly prominent position and its consequent execration by many educationists. The establishment of an alternative school leaving-certificate would no doubt offer some relief from the present unsatisfactory position, and in this connection assistance and guidance are confidently expected from the operations of the new University Entrance Board shortly to be established under the University Act, 1926. The duties of the Board, to quote the Act, " Shall be to consider the curricula and courses of study at secondary and technical high schools in relation to the educational and other requirements for matriculation at any constituent college ; it may also consider such other matters in relation to secondary education as may from time to time be referred to it by the Minister of Education or by the University Council." It is still somewhat too early to dogmatize on the ultimate possibilities of the junior school. It is abundantly clear, however, that the better classification made possible by the new system will enable the brighter pupils to make considerable progress in their secondary subjects without detriment to the work usually covered in Standards V and VI of the primary schools. Except in isolated cases,

E.—6

however, they will not save a whole year, as is claimed by the most ardent supporters of the junior school. From careful observation of the progress being made in the schools visited the Inspectors have arrived at the conclusion that the better half of the pupils may reasonably be expected to cover in their two years' junior course the equivalent of one year's secondary work in French and in algebra, and possibly in science ; the progress made in geometry is small, whilst Latin is seldom attempted in the junior courses. The value of the junior school for exploratory or diagnostic purposes has been evident from the outset, but its ultimate or maximum effect upon the standard of our secondary education cannot be determined with any degree of certainty until practically all pupils entering the senior schools have previously passed through a junior course. In the meantime a thorough grounding in the essentials of secondary subjects rather than a feverish attempt to save a year for every pupil should be the aim of all teachers engaged in this most interesting extension of secondary education. All things considered, the secondary departments of our district high schools make quite a creditable showing. It is easy for the carping critic to find defects in the system. The courses of study are narrow and too slavishly modelled upon examination requirements, the text-books and methods are in many cases old-fashioned, and little attention is paid to the aesthetic side of education ; yet when the many difficulties that beset the teachers in these departments are considered, their inexperience, the difficult conditions under which they work as compared with teachers in the secondary schools proper, the multiplicity of subjects they are required to teach, the frequency of changes in the personnel of the staffs —when all this is realized it must freely be admitted that the district high schools are doing zealous and valuable work in the field of post-primary education. Many instances could be quoted of teachers who, in spite of adverse conditions, are showing almost a missionary zeal in their unselfish devotion to duty. It is hardly necessary to repeat that whilst a few of our secondary schools are still somewhat conservative in their outlook and in their organization, yet in the great majority of cases not only Principals, but assistants of all grades, have continued to show a commendable spirit of inquiry and receptivity with regard to modern developments in education. In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks to my colleagues for their loyal co-operation and for the undoubted zeal and enthusiasm they have displayed in performing the many duties allotted to them. I have, &c., E. J. Pare, Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools. The Director of Education.
