1. ANNUAL EEPOET OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir,— Wellington, 14th June, 1928. I have the honour to present the report for the year 1927. So far as inspection work is concerned, this has proceeded on much the same linos as hitherto. Advantage was taken, however, of a complete and unchanged inspectorate to attempt to convert the previous triennial round of full inspections into a biennial one by visiting in the earlier half of the year as many as nineteen of the secondary schools, ten in the North and nine in the South Island. All but four of the forty-one secondary schools have now heen fully inspected within the past two years. At various times during the year opportunity was also taken to inspect thirteen of the private registered secondary schools. The number of these schools has grown considerably in the past few years—from nineteen in 1920 to thirty-nine in 1927 —and several of them have developed into comparatively large schools of from 200 to 300 pupils. It is obvious that more time will need to be set aside in. the future for supervising the work in the private schools. Many of them arc doing quite good work on their own chosen lines, but others, owing chiefly to cramped conditions and meagre roll numbers, are doing little more than just struggling along, and are providing a narrow and mediocre type of education. Reference was made in the last report to the initiation of a system whereby the secondary school Inspectors have been enabled to visit the secondary departments of district high schools. It was felt that by this means a closer correlation between the two types of post-primary sohools might be obtained and that the district-high-school teacher might be brought into closer touch with secondary-school methods and aims. The benefits derived from the system in its first year of operation were undoubtedly such as to justify its continuance. During the past year its application has been somewhat improved by visiting the whole, or nearly all, of the district high schools in one education district at a time, in this way a more accurate estimate has been obtained of the methods followed in a district than by visiting odd schools when opportunity served. The majority of the district high schools in the Auckland, Taranaki, and Nelson Districts, some twenty-three in all, were thus visited during the first half of the year and round-table conferences subsequently held with district Inspectors. The discussions at these conferences were found most helpful to both groups of Inspectors, and there is every reason to continue with the procedure in the future. In this connection 1 should like to express my appreciation of the willing co-operation of the district Inspectors in the various centres. The sittings of the Classification Appeal Board were attended in April. The Board met in Wellington and Dunedin only. Of the nine appeals lodged, three were disallowed by the Board and six were withdrawn. The attendance of one or more of the Inspectors was also required at Appeal Courts sitting in Wellington, Gisborne, and Invercargill. These Courts are specially constituted for the purpose of hearing appeals by teachers against dismissal or reduction in grade of position by the employing Boards. It is noteworthy that these three appeals were the first of this nature to be lodged by secondary-school teachers since 1918. The latter portion of the year was, as usual, devoted almost entirely to investigating the standard of candidates recommended for senior free places and for leaving-certificates, and to the classification of assistant teachers. For those purposes each of the forty-one departmental schools was visited between July and November. The practice hitherto followed of setting a number of simple written tests to the free-place candidates was abandoned last year in all but a few instances and the Principals' recommendations were accepted, as a rule, without any appreciable amendment when once, the Inspectors were satisfied that the general standard of the Fourth Form work was adequately satisfactory. In other words, the accrediting system has been applied more unreservedly than in the past. Whether the larger measure of freedom and responsibility accorded to Principals will make any appreciable difference in the proportion of candidates obtaining senior free places by recommendation remains to be seen when the new procedure has been given a few years' trial. The number of senior free places obtained on recommendation by candidates from departmental secondary schools was 2,992 in 1927, as compared with 2,563 in 1926. The total number of candidates eligible for recommendation rose at the same time from 4,140 to 4,397. In the past the Department has been faced annually with the inconvenience and the cost of examining large numbers —some hundreds in the aggregate—of weak candidates for senior free places who had not the remotest chance of passing the Intermediate Examination. With a view to reducing the number of such obviously useless entries an entrance fee of 10s, was instituted last year and is now required from all candidates who fail to obtain their Principal's recommendation. The same fee, it may be added, is paid by candidates in the Intermediate Examination who are not using it for the purpose of obtaining senior free places — i.e., by candidates from, private secondary schools. It is interesting to note that though the number of candidates from departmental schools who actually sat the examination fell from 1,010 in 1926 to 736 in 1927, yet the number who wore successful in obtaining senior free places by passing the examination fell from 157 to 140 only. It is obvious, therefore, that the imposition of the entrance fee has accomplished what it was hoped to do without inflicting hardship upon the mass of candidates. The abnormal rate of increase in the number of awards of higher leaving-certificates, referred to in the last report, has not been maintained ; only 648 were issued to secondary-school pupils at the close of the year, 69 of them going to pupils from registered private schools, whereas the corresponding

E.—6

numbers in 1926 were 713 and 76. The number of lower leaving-certificates issued also fell from 110 to 54. Considering the little real use to which the lower certificates can at present be put, the latter set of figures is not at all surprising. The situation with regard to staffing problems has been easier than for many years past. The improvement is due partly to the steady increase in the number of young teachers offering for secondary work, and partly to the comparatively small increase in the roll numbers of secondary schools in 1927— a reflex, no doubt, of the financial depression in. several districts. Whilst the aggregate roll number of secondary pupils increased by approximately 1,700 in 1926, it rose only by 450 in 1927. In several schools, as a matter of fact, the roll actually fell, and it became necessary in a few instances to dispense with the services of a teacher. It was only natural that in these somewhat abnormal circumstances even the remote schools were able to fill vacancies satisfactorily. Though a majority of the teachers entering the Service last year had passed through a training college, there is undoubtedly still much room for improvement so far as the technical equipment of our young entrants is concerned. Nearly 20 per cent, of them have had no previous training or classroom experience whatsoever. It is gratifying to note, however, that an increasing number of secondary schools have afforded opportunities to senior training-college students for observation, and practice. From personal observation one can testify to the excellent work being accomplished in some of the schools under this system, and it is confidently expected that its utility will ensure its continuance until a more comprehensive scheme for the training of secondary-school teachers is evolved. The position with regard to school curricula remains much as formerly. Apart from those schools to which junior high schools are attached, only a few have had an opportunity within the past year of broadening their curricula in the direction of giving more prominence to the manual arts and crafts on the one hand, and to the more assthetic but less utilitarian subjects on the other. It is not to be inferred that Principals or Boards are, as a rule, reluctant to organize courses on the lines suggested ; but, the need for comparatively costly equipment and the difficulty of obtaining properly qualified instructors who are capable of assisting with the ordinary secondary subjects present very real obstacles. It may be noted, however, that, out of the twenty-seven boys' or mixed secondary schools, seventeen of them were last year teaching woodwork and eight of them metalwork also. In some of these it must be admitted that only a limited amount was taught. So far as the aesthetic side; is concerned, more definite, though slow, progress has been made, especially in the girls' schools ; the subject of drawing, for example, is now being given greater prominence on the time-table in many schools. Five boys' schools, three mixed, and one girls' school now have full-time art teachers on their staffs, whilst in two other instances two schools share full-time teachers between them. At least two other girls' schools were to appoint full-time art and handcraft specialists at the commencement of 1928. So far as the actual teaching of the usual class-room subjects is concerned, it may confidently be claimed that our secondary-school teachers continue to improve both in equipment and technique. In French, for example, it is now quite exceptional to find a novice who has not been trained in pronunciation, and who has not some idea at least of beginning the subject on modern lines. Some teachers, however, do not yet realize the necessity of thorough and accurate knowledge being acquired by the pupils in the early stages, and there is still a certain proportion of pupils who appear to be gaining no fresh ground in their second year. With regard to a certain number of these a grave question arises as to their aptitude for any foreign language. Though the percentage of pupils learning Latin and French has continued to fall slowly but steadily in the past few years—by 5 per cent, in the case of Latin and by 3 per cent, in the case of French in eight years —yet there is undoubted need for some system of testing out and discovering those who will never make anything of such studies. In connection with French also it may be pointed out that our present system of postponing the commencement of post-primary studies to a comparatively late age places our pupils at a certain disadvantage with regard to text-books. Almost all those written on the most modern lines are designed for pupils beginning the language between eight and ten years of age, and consequently appear childish to our secondary pupils of thirteen or fourteen. This is admittedly a minor point, but to the less-skilled teachers at least the assistance of a suitable text-book is a matter of considerable importance. Continued attention is being given in all secondary schools to the teaching of English literature, and the old-fashioned formal study of a poem or play has almost entirely disappeared. Need, however, still exists for development of expression on the part of the pupils, and especially in oral expression ; in connected and reasoned speech ; in expressive and interpretative reading ; and, on occasions, in drama. In the more formal aspects of English there is a general recognition among secondary teachers that the grammar taught should be of the universal kind underlying the expression of thought in all language, and not the collection of elaborate definitions and logical puzzles so dear to the old pedantic type of teacher. The " Memorandum on the Teaching of English," recently republished by the Cambridge University Press, has been welcomed by many of our teachers as an inspiriting commendation of the methods they themselves have been following more or less closely in the past few years. To those teachers who are unacquainted with the booklet its perusal is unreservedly recommended. It is not proposed to discuss in detail the standard of teaching in each of the subjects, nor the efficacy or suitability of the methods employed in the various schools. Suffice it to say that the Inspectors have again found, as in the past, that both Principals and assistants are, in the vast majority of cases, alive to modern tendencies and anxious to investigate the possibilities of better methods and better programmes. In conclusion, 1 have again to express my appreciation of the loyal and zealous co-operation of my colleagues. I have, &c, E. J. Parr, Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools. The Director of Education.
