APPENDIX A.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Sir, — During the year there have been a number of changes in the personnel of the Inspectorate. At the beginning of the year there were forty-four Inspectors, and at the end forty-three. In February the Department and the Service sustained a very severe loss by the sudden death, on the eve of his retirement, of Mr. C. W. Garrard, 8.A., late Senior Inspector at Auckland. Seven Inspectors —Messrs. M. McLeocl, B.A. (Christchurch) ; G. Dalglish, B.A. (Nelson) ; F. G. A. Stuckey, M.A. (Dunedin) ; M. Lynskey, M.A. (Nelson) ; A. Crawford, B.A. (Wanganui) ; J. J. Adams, B.A. (Wanganui) ; and G. H. Plummer, LL.B. (Auckland) —retired on superannuation after long and valuable service in the cause of education. Mr. J. Robertson, 8.A., 'B.Sc., was appointed Senior Inspector at Auckland ; Mr. A. McNeil, M.A., Senior Inspector at Christchurch ; Mr. D. McCaskill, 8.A., Senior Inspector at Napier ; Mr. W. A. Service, M.A., Senior Inspector at Invercargill; Mr. W. G. Blackie, M.A., B.Sc., Senior Inspector at Wanganui; and Mr. T. J. Griffin, 8.A., Senior Inspector at Nelson. Mr. N. 11. S. Law was transferred, at his own request, from Wanganui to Auckland. The following new appointments were made from the primary-school service : Messrs. P. G. Lewis, M.A. (Wanganui) ; R. W. D. Maxwell, M.A., Dip. Ed. (Dunedin) ; A. R. Merrington, M.A. (Wanganui) ; G. T. Palmer, M.A. (Invercargill) ; E. Partridge, M.A. (Wanganui) ; G. H. Stubbs, M.A. (Wellington) ; and J. P. Hawke, M.A. (Taranaki). Towards the end of the year Mr. W. W. Bird, M.A., Chief Inspector of Primary Schools since 1926, expressed a wish to retire on superannuation, but in view of his unique knowledge of the Maori race and the island people it was decided to retain his services in another position, that of Superintendent of Native,and Island Education. Mr. Bird's experience as an Inspector of Native Schools, and as a Senior Inspector of Public Schools in two education districts, made him a particularly valuable administrative officer. While the standard of efficiency in the large schools has been well maintained, a distinct advance is recorded in country schools, more particularly in the backblocks. This is accounted for by the disappearance of uncertificated teachers, whose places have been taken by young trained teachers, who by their skill and enthusiasm have transformed the school life of large numbers of country children. As stated last year, it is not expected that any radical changes will result from the introduction of the new syllabus. What is looked for is the gradual growth of the spirit of liberty as far as methods of teaching and courses of work are concerned. It may be too much to expect successful teachers of long experience to abandon well-tried methods which they are applying with a minimum of effort. Nevertheless, many of the teachers show originality in the compilation of programmes of work and have adopted means of giving scope for individual effort in conjunction with class-teaching. The study of modern developments in education in other lands is undertaken seriously by every progressive teacher, and this study, while not leading to a revolution in methods, at least is gradually paving the way for the adoption of the best. In general, teaching methods are modern, and tend to develop the individuality of the pupils as far as working-conditions in the schools permit. There are still some traditional methods of doubtful educational value that survive as being effective with large classes or with teachers who, while striving for freedom, are afraid to leave the well-worn paths and seek new avenues ; this, too, in spite of the spirit of the new syllabus and the encouragement given by Inspectors to teachers showing originality and initiative. There is reluctance to abandon a sure method—that is, one.sure to produce good measurable results —for a plan that may show poor results on a formal test. Younger teachers are more exploratory in the realms of methods than many older ones who have very fine records in the Service. Might it be suggested that these latter, with their success in control, management, and organization, need have no fear of failure under the new system. It is in the matter of discipline that there has been the most noticeable change for the better, attributable to a closer observation of the temperament and study of the psychology of the child. The habits of self-control inculcated in the preparatory classes were until recently sometimes nullified by inexperienced teachers in charge of Standards I and 11, but headmasters have now realized that greater efficiency of the school ,as a whole is gained with capable teachers in charge of these classes. Advance along aesthetic paths is distinctly encouraging, notable progress having been made in singing, more particularly in the production of pleasing tone. Musical appreciation has some capable exponents among the teachers ; others are finding their way to better treatment. Literary appreciation is making rather tardy progress, but artistic drawing and handwork are more in evidence. Teachers are, however, sometimes reluctant to spend time on what appears not to give immediate testable results, overlooking entirely the fact that oral and written expression will through these branches of the curriculum rise to a practical and sesthetic standard hitherto considered impossible. Our schools hardly receive enough credit for the interest displayed by both teachers and pupils in what may be called social and civic activities. Most schools have branches of one or more of the following —Junior Red Cross, Dr. Barnardo's Young Helpers' League, Navy League, S.P.C.A. —in which the pupils take a keen and active interest.

18

E.—2.

The vast majority of the teachers are imbued with a high sense of duty. They display a pleasing willingness to adapt their methods and organization to modern requirements and, where weaknesses are indicated, to adopt the necessary remedial measures. Their untiring efforts in furthering the welfare of the young people under their charge cannot but have good results in the formation of habits of loyalty to duty, of true patriotism, and of sound character, which should form a sure foundation for the life work of the future citizens of the Dominion. Speech-training. In this subject the first essential is that the teacher should set a good example. In the second place, the teacher's influence should succeed in establishing in his class a pleasure in listening to good models, a keen ear for correctness, and an earnest desire to speak well. Without these the good effects of work done in school are not carried beyond the doors. This speech-consciousness having been established, a natural consequence will be that the participation by the teacher in school games will tend to check slovenly speech, which may thus in time disappear. Inspectors report favourably upon the progress made in formal speech-training exercises, and remark that good results are more noticeable among the younger pupils. This is only natural, and it may confidently be expected that as these pupils progress through the school they will show continued improvement. Oral expression exhibits, on the whole, only slight improvement, the progress made in many infant departments not being continued in the upper classes. There appears to be too great a tendency to get pupils to write rather than to speak. In everyday life, for which education ought to prepare, clear and correct oral expression is demanded infinitely more often than written expression. Progress in nearly every subject is still hampered by the inability or unwillingness of pupils to discuss the subject with the teacher. Oral Reading —Recitation. The Inspectors credit oral reading with some improvement during the year. They are, however, of the opinion that in too many classes undue attention is given to silent reading. To this may be traced one of the outstanding weaknesses that appear when pupils read aloud —namely, the tardy recognition of the less familiar words. Unless silent reading is properly supervised and tested it is possible for some of the time devoted to it to be unprofitably employed. Fine expression in the oral reading seems to have been neglected during recent years ; seldom do the Inspectors find in any department of the school the expressive intelligent reading that was so often met with in the larger schools ten or fifteen years ago. The Inspectors note with appreciation the commendable interest displayed by teachers and pupils in school libraries, and feel certain that valuable work is being done in encouraging reading for pleasure or information. Pupils nowadays explore a wider field of literature in search of poems which appeal to their taste. There is a deeper interest in poetry, and in many of the schools daily studies of poetical and prose selections are skilfully conducted and appreciation of good literature is being developed. The success of these laudable efforts is becoming noticeable in the oral expression of the pupils,; but more often in the written expression. Following upon the growth of interest in literature, there is a pleasing advance in recitation, towards a better understanding of diction and rhythm. It is noted that in those schools where children are encouraged to attempt verse-making themselves they are more prone to commit to memory a wide range of poems. In an increasing number of schools dramatic work is attempted, and is being recognized as one of the finest methods of training for correct, pleasant, and natural speech. Play-acting not only appeals to a deeply rooted instinct in children, but it also supplies them with a strong motive for developing speech of high quality. Handwork. The teachers generally now recognize in handwork a subject that has definite methods and a culture of its own. There has been during the year ample evidence of intenser study of the various branches of the subject with a view to the introduction of forms which lend themselves to education on lines not only practical, but also aesthetic. The work along well-defined courses with the conventional materials supplied to all schools has been varied by the use of waste materials within immediate reach, such as timber, leather, motor-tubes, flax, raupo, match-boxes, manuka, rushes, sugar-sacks, &c. The practical value of many of the articles thus made gives scope for the creative instincts of the child and provides a valuable incentive to effort; initiative is developed and sound economic habits fostered. In many cases decorative designs, appropriate and artistic, form a pleasing feature of the finished articles. In connection with such subjects as history, geography, nature-study, reading, and stories the children are called upon to give concrete expression to new ideas. Light woodwork, introduced as an experiment in a small number of country schools out of reach of manual-training centres, has been taken up with enthusiasm and has proved a great success. Health and Temperance. The good work of the Medical and Dental Branches has added practical interest to the treatment of these subjects, and a marked influence is being exerted upon the pupils in the matter of the formation of sound health habits. Credit is due more particularly to teachers of the preparatory classes who during morning inspection and talks have impressed upon their charges the simple rules of health. We may well take pride in the high standard of cleanly habits of the young people of the Dominion. A glance round the pupils of our schools convinces one that they are, in the matter of

19

E.—2

health, a credit to both mothers and teachers. We should like to commend the practice of some teachers in carrying out tooth-brush drill, and should like to see the practice extended to a larger number of schools. The girls of some city and suburban schools have had the benefit of a series of valuable health and first-aid lessons given by representatives of the Red Cross Association. Such has been the interest aroused by these lessons that very many of the girls have voluntarily sat for the First-aid Examination and secured certificates. A programme of lessons in temperance is included in all the schemes of work, and, on the whole, the treatment of the subject is satisfactory. Elementary Science and Nature-study. The treatment of these subjects varies considerably. In nature-study it is the attitude of mind more than anything else that counts, and this is contagious. Where the teacher is interested and imbued with the correct spirit, the children are enthusiastic. The pupils must be trained daily to be observant, and to take an active interest in the outer world that surrounds them and of which they themselves are a part. They should, as far as possible, be trained to study the natural phenomena in their natural settings, and for this purpose the pupils must be taken out-of-doors whenever opportunity offers. If this subject is approached in the correct way, a spirit of inquiry will be aroused, and by training the pupils in the use of suitable works of reference the teacher will supply a means of satisfying this spirit of natural curiosity. Occasionally Inspectors find a schemfi including a list of topics the material for the successful treatment of which is unprocurable or unseasonable. Failure must attend such a scheme, because the result can only be an accumulation of facts which cannot be discovered in the right way by the pupils themselves. It is the teacher's business to guide the observation and to help the pupils to draw the correct inference. The pupils' notebooks are often a list of facts dictated by the teacher or copied from the blackboard ; a better training would be afforded if these were a record of the child's own impressions of the directed studies of the class. Careful supervision of all notes is, of course, essential for effective work, as well as for giving the character-training afforded by thoroughness and accuracy. Nature-study has not yet come into its own, but if the young teachers follow the lead given in the training colleges the time should not be far distant when the treatment of the subject will be on sound lines. In the treatment of elementary science there is need to stress the importance of a training in correct, logical reasoning, and the need for clearer and more explicit exposition during the statement of facts observed and inferred. In many schools science work is now closely associated with practical work in the garden-plots, and some very pleasing work has been done in this connection. An interesting development in some schools is the collection of flower and vegetable seeds. This is an activity which might well be extended by groups of schools specializing in certain seeds and by a system of exchange effecting a considerable saving in expense, ill addition to giving a valuable educational training. Optional Subjects in Forms I and 11. The Inspectors have not been impressed with the generality or the effectiveness with which the optional courses have been taken up in Forms I and 11. The best work in French has usually been done in those district high schools where teachers of the secondary department take this subject, and where they are laying, in an interesting way, a foundation for future study in higher forms. In other instances, where the teaching has been inexpert or the standard of English has been low, concentration on the mother-tongue has been recommended. It was never intended that all the pupils of these forms should take up French at this stage, and teachers of large classes have found that the time they can spare for oral work with the best pupils is not sufficient to warrant the introduction of the subject. Optional mathematics is not so widely taught as anticipated or as the value of such studies renders desirable. The opinion that, for pupils who are not intended for academic education, Latin is a more useful study than French, has now many advocates. Junior High Schools. A further year's experience of the junior high school serves but to confirm a previously expressed belief in its effectiveness. The classification of pupils in accordance with native ability and acquired knowledge, made possible by aggregation, the employment of full-time specialist teachers, and the superior equipment, are advantages more immediately apparent; but, in addition, there is the enhanced social and intellectual environment with which the pupil is brought into contact. When pupils are gathered together into the larger centres they are brought into a sphere where there are more opportunities for developing the powers of leadership, and where the brightest of our future citizens may be given the opportunity of working up to the full measure of their capacity. District High Schools. Valuable work is being done, and an honest attempt is being made to break down those traditions which formerly made these departments mere junior copies of city high schools. Wide options are encouraged, so that pupils may have an opportunity of developing along their own particular lines. Much credit is due to teachers who have qualified themselves in a wide range of subjects in order to meet this situation. The continued increase in attendance is probably due to the broadening of the curriculum and the more widespread recognition of the value of secondary education. The adoption of two main courses, academic and commercial, tends to group the pupils largely in accordance with

20

E.—2

scholastic ability, with the result that those in the mathematics and French classes profit more by the teaching and make more rapid progress than formerly. The rural course continues to be taken in all country district high schools, these being provided with well-equipped laboratories and experimental plots to provide means for that practical work which should, and does, form the backbone of the course. With respect to the teaching of science and commercial subjects, secondary departments are handicapped by small staffs, necessarily limited by small roll numbers. This difficulty, together with that of giving continuity of instruction, is being met to a limited extent in some schools by specialized teaching from Form I up, teachers of all forms being utilized as their special abilities suggest. Such a plan might with advantage be more fully applied in the anticipation of the junior-high-school organization. Most of the head teachers and assistants take a broad view of their responsibilities, and are giving to their pupils much more than a mere scholastic training. It is perhaps true that external examinations dominate the policy and teaching on the academic side of these institutions, but, in spite of these demands, the scholars are obtaining a grounding in social service and in elementary civic responsibility. In addition, the refinements of art and music are not altogether neglected. Probationers. The probationers are of a good type, well equipped educationally, physically, and personally. Enthusiasm is in no degree lacking, studies are assiduously pursued, and duties are conscientiously carried out. Probationary Assistants. The consensus of opinion is that there has been a steady improvement in the professional equipment of the trainees. Few are the cases where enthusiasm is wanting. A good knowledge of methods of teaching gives these beginners confidence in managing a class for the first time, and saves them from reverting to practices in teaching which are relics of the past. Moreover, they have been the means of disseminating fresh ideas, which have been welcomed by the older members of the staff. The influence of the teachers with special training—that is, those who have had three years' training — is gradually beginning to make itself felt. Headmasters of schools in which they have been placed in most cases appreciate their services and give them ample scope. In some cases weakness in general class teaching and management have militated against success with the special subjects. This emphasizes the necessity for the exercise of the greatest vigilance and care in the selection of students for a third year of training, and they should not be allowed to go out to schools with the title " specialist " unless they have given evidence of ability to apply their special knowledge in such a manner as to impress their individuality upon the classes entrusted to them. Music. Training Colleges. —Good work is being done in all the colleges, and the students are being trained to use the official " Scheme of School Music " and songs of the best quality. At Auckland a class of thirty women took special infant-work, and sixty took eurhythmies. The Lecturer in Music has given three special lectures to three hundred teachers»on " The Dominion Song-book," which was specially compiled for the schools, and, as a result, hundreds of copies have been purchased by the schools. Since 1928 ten third-year music specialists have been trained, of whom nine are in temporary or permanent appointments and are doing excellent work. There are four third-year music specialists for 1931. At Wellington much attention is being given to practical work. The third-year student in music took special piano lessons, and the Lecturer has a piano class on the " Bavin " system for student®. There is an orchestra and choir. At Christchurch two third-year students specialized in music. The Lecturer's remarkable scheme of music classes for children has been carried successfully through a second year ; about 1,500 children (twice as many as in 1929) were enrolled for the study of piano, stringed and wind instruments, musical appreciation, choral and operetta work. A four days' festival was held in October, at which a large orchestra performed, in addition to choral, operatic, and other items. At Dunedin much practical work is being done. There were four thirdyear students. The Lecturer has given organ recitals to students, and has also trained a remarkably fine college choir. He has also lectured to high-school children and to parents, and has started a school for group instruction in piano-playing. " The Dominion Song-book." —The school song-book has been well received and is being increasingly adopted everywhere. It is hoped that this, together with the good songs being circulated through the training-college work, will do much towards raising the standard of choice in school songs and in using them for a definite purpose —e.g., correlation with history and geography, &c. The Schools. —Music in the schools shows promise, a good sign being the increased interest in it in high schools, and notably among the boys. Orchestras and choirs are growing in numbers, and the teaching of instrumental music has made a good beginning in many places. Much, however, remains to be done before the subject reaches the standard aimed at. Special Glasses. During the past year the work of the special classes has continued satisfactorily. One unfortunate circumstance is the fact that children ready to leave school are experiencing difficulty in obtaining employment. In Christchurch a scheme of vocational guidance has been worked out in co-operation with the Psychological Department of Canterbury College, and the After-care Committee has rendered assistance in obtaining employment for a number of children.

21

E.—2

Several of the classes have in the past year given particular attention to athletics, with the result that a great many children have learned to swim, while quite a number have become useful members of football and cricket teams. The value of having classes attached to a school has been demonstrated by the fact that the boys and girls can mix freely, and even compete with the children in the ordinary classes. Prowess in athletics stimulates the respect of non-special-class pupils and tends to remove any stigma that might otherwise be attached to children of poor scholastic powers. Co-operation with the Mental Hospitals Department has resulted in the removal of a large number of uneducable children, formerly a burden on special classes, and it is anticipated that as a consequence special-class teaching will, in the future, be more effective. Physical Education. This important part of the work of the school continues to make very good progress. The subject includes physical exercises, organized games, swimming and life-saving, athletics, folk and country dancing, and rhythmic exercises. Up-to-date methods are used, and both teachers and children are entering into the true spirit of the work. At the training colleges more attention than ever before is being paid to the subject, and the students are consequently more capable of giving instruction when they go out into the schools. Twelve specially selected students undertook a third year's course in physical education at the Dunedin Training College. Folk and country dancing is being taught in a larger number of schools throughout the Dominion. As a means of producing good deportment this phase of the subject is most valuable from the point of view of the girls. Corrective-classes are held for children with postural defects who have been selected for treatment by the School Medical Officer. Good progress continues to be made in swimming and life-saving. Last year 14,168 certificates were issued to pupils in primary and secondary schools. I have, &c., N. T. Lambourne, Chief Inspector of Primary Schools. The Director of Education, Wellington.

APPENDIX B.

REPORTS (EXTRACTS) AND STATEMENTS OF ACCOUNTS OP EDUCATION BOARDS.

I. EXTRACTS PROM REPORTS.

AUCKLAND. (Chairman, Mr. A. Burns.) School Accommodation. —The Board regrets that the Government has been compelled, owing to the financial depression, to reduce the grants for the provision of school accommodation. The Board feels assured, however, that the most urgent of its requirements in respect of new school buildings, and the enlargement of existing school buildings, will receive consideration as soon as funds are available. In order to render assistance to the Department during the time of financial stress, the Board has continued to make contributions from its Rebuilding Fund towards the cost of works in connection with school buildings. Open-air Schools. —The question of erecting open-air schools has received careful consideration by the Board. The Architect was authorized to visit Taranaki and Canterbury in order to inspect openair schools erected in those districts. Subsequently the Architect submitted a design of what he considered to be the best type of open-air school buildings, and one such building has recently been erected as an experiment at Avondale South. Teachers' Residences. —The Board is still experiencing considerable difficulty in the staffing of rural schools owing to the lack of suitable accommodation for the teachers. The Board recognizes, however, that, Owing to lack of funds, it is necessary to postpone the erection of residences. Training College. —The Board regrets that the matter of the unemployment of ex-students of the training college is still very acute. At the present time there are 248 ex-students who have not yet obtained permanent employment. Of these, 123 are now temporarily employed as relieving teachers for periods varying from two weeks to a term. During the early part of the year fifty-four other ex-students were given temporary employment. There are, however, seventy-one such teachers to whom the Board has not yet been able to give even temporary employment this year. District High Schools.—The secondary departments of district high schools have proved to be of the greatest benefit in providing for the post-primary education of children of country districts. The results obtained by the pupils at the Matriculation Examination, Public Service Entrance, and other annual examinations, are very gratifying. The Board greatly appreciates the fact that suitable arrangements have now been made for the training of training-college students for the work of teaching in secondary schools. The Board is pleased to report that arrangements have been made for the establishment of a district high school at Northcote, which school will not only make provision for the secondary education of pupils of that district, but will greatly relieve the overcrowding in the secondary schools in Auckland City. Junior High Schools. —The junior high schools at Kowhai, Matamata, and Northcote continue to render most efficient service. The Board desires to renew its request that the numbers of the members on the School Committees at Matamata and Northcote be increased by the election of two members by the parents of pupils. During the year, the Government authorized a grant for the erection of a new school building at Otahuhu South, and a junior high school has been established therein. Subsidies. —During the year over £6,000 was raised by local contributions for improvements at schools. The Board regrets, but fully recognizes, the financial stringency which has necessitated the curtailment of subsidies on voluntary contributions, and trusts that the withdrawal of subsidies will be only a temporary expedient, and" that they will be reinstated at the earliest possible date. The Board considers that the spirit of self-help evidenced during the past years by the very generous contributions made by parents throughout the district should be fully encouraged. Staffing of Schools. —Certificated teachers have now practically replaced uncertificated teachers. Even in respect of aided schools the Board has in very many cases been able to secure the services of certificated and trained teachers. Medical and Dental Inspection of Schools.—The Board highly appreciates the efficient work being undertaken by the Medical and Dental Officers of the Health Department in connection with the schools in this district. The Board fully appreciates the action already taken by the Government in establishing school dental clinics in many parts of the Dominion, but desires to renew the representations that provision be made for the dental treatment of school-children in country districts where the services of dentists are not available. Organizing Teachers. —The two organizing teachers continued to do good work, and their services have resulted in a greatly improved standard of work in several schools under the charge of inexperienced teachers. The Board regrets that, owing to financial considerations, it has been necessary to withdraw the services of organizing teachers, and hopes that such teachers will be again employed in the work of country schools, as soon as financial conditions improve. Consolidation of Schools—Several applications have been received for the establishment of consolidated schools, and arrangements are now being made for one to be opened at Katikati. The difficulty in respect of many of the cases is the high cost of conveyance.

E,— 2

TARANAKI. (Chairman, Mr. S. G. Smith.) Buildings.—The free-air type of class-room designed by our Architect has been the subject of inquiries from various parts of the Dominion and is very popular with the teachers. Shields. —The Cuthbert Shield, awarded to schools of Grade 3a and upwards for arrangement and care of school-grounds, was won by Waitara School. The Tisch Shield, awarded to schools below Grade 3a for arrangement and care of school-grounds, was won by Makaka and Waitaanga Schools. A large number of certificates have been issued to individual pupils for exceptionally good work in agriculture. Afforestation. —Experimental work to determine the best time for sowing seeds and planting the nursery plants has been undertaken, and the planting of unused or rough areas has been encouraged. Boys' and Girls' Clubs. —Interest in the Boys' and Girls' Clubs is still well maintained, and much valuable assistance is rendered by the agricultural and pastoral associations and by the officers of the Agriculture Department. In the calf-rearing competitions 283 animals were judged during the year. The movement is now becoming so large and of such educational and economic importance that the closest supervision of the club work is essential. Conveyance and Consolidation of Schools. —My Board has in several cases submitted proposals to your Department for the closing of small schools and the conveyance of pupils to a centre. The Haparua School has been closed under this scheme and the pupils conveyed to Ohura, and the arrangements are working satisfactorily. The Board's experience of the benefits of conveyance of pupils to central schools has been so satisfactory that members are strongly of opinion that, wherever practicable, consolidation of schools should be adopted. The Board regrets greatly that approval was not given to the schemes which were submitted to the Department during the year —schemes favoured by all the local authorities and by the parents concerned. Necessary Reforms. —In reviewing the year's operations the Board is led to the conclusion that, whatever other reforms may be effected, the most pressing matters now are (1) the consolidation of groups of schools ; (2) the stabilization of school staffs and reduction in size of classes ; (3) the adjustment of allowances made to School Committees.

WANGANUI. (Chairman, Mr. W. A. Collins.) Teachers. —It is worthy of note that, with the exception of one school, which happens to be situated in a very remote locality, there are no uncertificated teachers employed in schools above Grade 0, and that of the thirty-one Grade 0 schools no less than eighteen are under the charge of certificated teachers. Organizing Teacher. —Owing to the greatly reduced number of uncertificated teachers now employed, it has been possible to utilize the services of the organizing teacher to a certain extent in visiting schools under the charge of young teachers who had taken up sole-charge work immediately after the completion of their period of training. Health Camp.—A children's health camp under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Gunn, School Medical Officer, was held during part of February and March, 1930, in the Awapuni Racecourse grounds, Palmerston North, kindly placed at our disposal by the Manawatu Racing Club. The number of children taken into camp was 128, and of this number there was no child who did not show physical improvement as a result of camp life. Unfortunately the weather conditions were not all that could have been desired, but apart from this the camp was a complete success. Early this year a gentleman, who at the present juncture desires that his name be not disclosed, donated to the Board an area of 20 acres, situated within the Wanganui City area, as a site for a permanent health camp. For this generous gift the Board extends to the donor its sincere gratitude, and it is hoped that in the not-far-distant future it will be possible to erect suitable buildings on this site and to establish a permanent camp. School Environment. —That a high standard of environment at the schools is being maintained is evidenced by the fact that for the year 1930 no fewer than fifty-five schools which had qualified for environment certificates in previous years had their certificates endorsed by virtue of the continued excellence of their surroundings, while twelve schools reached for the first time the standard required for the issue of a certificate. In many other cases commendable improvements were observed, which, if continued, will no doubt result in the schools concerned obtaining environment certificates later on.

WELLINGTON. (Chairman, Mr. T. Forsyth.) Training College.—The Board places on record that its hopes of better conditions for the Training College to bring it into line with the increased requirements of the district have been disappointed, and at the moment no steps have been taken to give relief. It repeats the comment of 1929 that the existing buildings are overcrowded. The accommodation for both students and staff is totally inadequate, notwithstanding that many students are sent for training to other centres, a matter of increased cost to the Department and to some extent a loss of teaching-power for the area served by the Wellington Training College. A new college site and building sufficiently spacious to meet the requirements of the Middle University District is a matter of the utmost importance. Report of Inspectors.—The Board notes with pleasure the higher estimate of the efficiency of the schools recorded therein, and it thanks all those teachers who by honest endeavour have contributed to this result. Centralization and Conveyance.—There are indications that where the conditions are favourable there is a growing preference for a centralizing conveyance service. Several proposals originating in country districts for closing small schools and conveying pupils to large schools are under consideration, but action is in several instances being deferred owing to financial considerations. Technical College.—The complete withdrawal of the Technical College from the Board's premises in Mercer Street to the new college on Mount Cook marks a notable advance in technical education. Few now recall the great part the Wellington Education Board, under the able guidance of that pioneer, the late Mr. A. D. Riley, played in the establishment of technical education in New Zealand. Nor must I omit acknowledgment of the splendid support received from the Industrial Association in assisting to provide the Wakefield Street building, and that received from the city, first in the lease of a site for the workshops in Mercer Street, and later by substantial contribution to the cost of the new college.

NELSON. (Chairman, Hon. Mr. W. H. Mclntyre.) Conveyance and Board. —Parents of children in remote localities continue to take advantage of the allowance towards conveyance and board of children in order to attend schools. Voluntary Contributions and Subsidies.—School Committees throughout the district continued to show practical interest in the welfare of their schools by raising various sums by means of voluntary contributions, concerts, &c., with the result that considerable benefits were derived by way of improved grounds, libraries, additional equipment, &c. It was with extreme regret that the Board received the intimation that the Government found it necessary to temporarily withdraw the granting of subsidies. The hope is expressed that subsidies will very soon be restored. Education Committee's Re-port.—The report of the Recess Education Committee was received in July last and was the subject of considerable interest. After giving the report very careful consideration the Board came to the conclusion that it contained many excellent recommendations.

CANTERBURY. (Chairman, Mr. W. A. Banks.) School Committees.—Householders generally continue to take a keen interest in their schools, and the Committees they elect to control the destinies of the local centres of learning deserve much thanks for the honorary duties they perform for the sake of the children. Committees sometimes complain that their's is a thankless task, but the Board's experience has been that the parents will respond with ready support if a good lead is given. Technical Education. —A. pleasing feature of the year's work was the resuscitation of interest in technical education in the small centres, particularly at Kaiapoi, Temuka, and in the Ellesmere district. In the last-named district, especially, keen interest and activity were displayed by the Ellesmere Technical Association in the matter of providing technical classes adapted to the needs of the district. The excellent attendances at these classes bear convincing testimony as to their popularity.

OTAGO. (Chairman, Mr. J. Wallace.) Elementary Agriculture.—The Board is satisfied that on both the practical and the theoretical side good work is being done, and that boys and girls going on the land will take with t.hem useful information. The scope of the work has been gradually developed in recent years, and the beautification of the school-grounds is now recognized as an important part of the programme. Both the Inspectors and the Agricultural Instructors have stressed this aspect, and with the further incentive of liberal subsidies teachers and Committees have combined in a ready response, with the result that many

school-grounds are not only a source of pride to the children, but a feature of the district and an attraction to the visitor or'the passer-by. The Agricultural Club movement has been reorganized in this district, with control in an executive on which both the Board and the Department of Agriculture are represented. The Board now looks forward to a successful extension of the movement. Woodwork Classes— At the beginning of the year the Board provided tools to five selected teachers for the establishment of light woodwork classes in Grade 111 schools. The Inspectors report that the work undertaken provides a valuable extension of the handwork facilities, and that the experiment is fully justified. It is regretted that through shortage of funds no extension of this work can be undertaken in the meantime. Conveyance and Consolidation. —The annual increase in the cost of conveyance is brought about principally by the steady progress that is being made in the consolidation of schools and by the establishment of conveyance services in place of building new schools. As an offset against this increase, there are considerable savings for teachers' salaries, Committee grants, and buildings, both at the small schools closed and where the establishment of a school has been rendered unnecessary. The Board does not think there is much to be gained in the combining of two small schools, and it proposes to direct its efforts to the conveyance of pupils from small schools to existing district high schools, or to central schools which could be raised to that status by reason of the influx of conveyed children. The time is not opportune to push consolidation schemes which would mean new buildings or additions, and there is the further reason that the closing of more schools would add to the number of teachers out of work. School Committees. —Notwithstanding occasional protests against the curtailment of their functions —particularly in the appointment of teachers —most Committees now appreciate the fact that there is an immense amount of useful work for them to do. It may be said that the younger generation of Committeemen now in evidence know nothing of the days when Committees could make a selection from a list of applicants, and they accept the present method as a matter of course. Every year sees an increase in the number of Committees turning their attention to the never-ending work of improving the school surroundings. The withdrawal of subsidies has made the position difficult for Committees, particularly those with works in progress. The Board trusts that the Government will be able to meet all claims for subsidies actually in the hands of the Department or the Boards at the time the decision to withdraw was arrived at. The Board also urges the lifting of the condition requiring claims to be made within twelve months of the receipt by the Committee of a voluntary contribution in respect of all monev raised during the ) 7 ear 1930. It is to be hoped that the withdrawal of subsidies will not be prolonged unduly, as this would tend to damp the enthusiasm now evident for improving the school environment and adding to the comfort of the children. There is the further aspect that many Committees cannot meet their liabilities without the assistance of subsidies, and the loss of the fuel subsidy, in particular, is a serious item. The Board is satisfied, however, that all Committees will do their best to make ends meet until better times return.

SOUTHLAND. (Chairman, Mr. J. C. Thomson.) Consolidation of Schools. —In last year's report the Board was pleased to record that five schools had been closed owing to their being consolidated with larger schools in their neighbourhood. The results have proved in every way satisfactory, and the parents concerned would not willingly go back to the old order of things. In the period covered by this report two additional schools were closed viz., Northope and Riverside —the former being consolidated with Lochiel and the latter with Dipton. In other districts the matter is being seriously considered, and there is every likelihood that at no distant date other cases of consolidation will be in operation. Attendance. —It is worthy of notice that the very high percentage of attendance recorded for the year constitutes a record for this district. This excellent result can, no doubt, be accounted for by the fact that during the year the district was free from any serious epidemic affecting regularity of attendance. A contributing factor also is the improved facilities now available for getting children regularly to school where consolidation schemes are in operation.

APPENDIX C.

EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS OF PRINCIPALS OF TRAINING COLLEGES.

AUCKLAND. Visits to Schools. —During the year members of the College staff have paid weekly visits to city and suburban schools, with consequent profit to the College and happy results to the schools. In music, speech-training, art and handwork, physical education, remedial education, science, and geography, much valuable work has been done by a close co-operation between the practising schools and the College staff. The work in the two normal schools has been of high standard, the parallel classes and the model country schools being keenly sought by students, who realize that in these schools the real problem of organization is being skilfully solved by efficient teachers. Third-year Students. —I feel that splendid work has been achieved by these third-year students, who have fully justified their extra year's training, and if they are appointed to positions where their gifts a.nd special training can be used the Service will profit. Post-primary Training.—During 1930 we have made a distinct advance in the training for post-primary students, a comprehensive programme being planned and carried out under the guidance of Dr. Wallace. Valuable help in this work has been given by the Seddon Memorial Technical College, by Kowhai Junior High School, and by the main normal school, where Dr. Wallace has taught two practising groups in Form II for French. lam looking forward to the assistance in 1931 of the local secondary schools, without whose co-operation we cannot round off the practical training of the important group of students who are specializing for post-primary work in the final year at college. Physical Work. —Excellent work has been done during the year in physical education. In swimming and life-saving the results constitute a record for the College. All the outgoing men can swim, and all but ten of the outgoing women. While considering the question of physical work in college, I have to thank the School Medical Officers for their interest in the health of the students. The co-operation of these officers has been extremely valuable and has had a beneficial effect upon the health of the students. Improvements.—Fine improvements have been made this year to the College grounds. Basket-ball-courts have been constructed, tennis-courts laid down, and the playing-areas have been extended. The approach to the College, with its close-cropped lawns, reveals a dignity that will not be without beneficial result upon the students.

WELLINGTON. To increase the possibilities of teaching practice in country schools, the Thorndon Main School, lower division, was organized into three separate departments, containing all classes from P to Standard 11. This arrangement has improved considerably this important part of student-training, and during the year practically all senior students had experience of this type of work. Since a large number of young teachers obtain at first a sole-charge school appointment or else a position in a two-teacher school, it has been our endeavour to make more of this kind of training. The division " C " students and a few others from division " A " well advanced in their degree courses have again been given teaching practice in the secondary schools of Wellington. This aspect of training is extremely valuable, since some of these students will receive their first appointments in secondary schools. Very full reports were received from the various Principals, and criticisms and suggestions from them were made available to the students. The College is indebted to the heads and staff of the schools concerned for this evidence of co-operation and interest in the preparation of the young teacher. A new scheme of observational work was tried out at the Kelburn Normal School. The custom in training colleges for years has been to organize so-called demonstration lessons in large assembly-halls, where a class of pupils was taught by a demonstration teacher and a number of young teachers sat around to see how this set lesson progressed. This method does not appeal to us. It seems to run contrary to a very fundamental educational principle, that school-teaching is fundamentally a study of a child developing, and not the study of these so-called set lessons. This type of demonstration is too artificial, and very often leads to the just criticism that teachers may give such well-staged lessons with apparent wonderful success, but could not carry them out under the ordinary conditions of the class-room. To replace such demonstrations, we have- organized a scheme of observational lessons in all the standards of the Kelburn School, where at certain set times sections of students file into the class-rooms, sit down on the special seats recently provided for this purpose, and observe for a period a lesson given by the class-room teacher. To give the student a right introduction to the lesson, the Kelburn weekly scheme is typed for every student, the syllabus of work for the standard studied, the lecturer in the subject from the College is present at the lesson, and a subsequent method lecture deals with the general principles involved in the particular lesson observed. The scheme has tended to bring into closer contact the practice in the school and the theory taught in the College. The staff of the Kelburn Normal School deserves the highest commendation for the spirit in which the work has been done, and the excellent results obtained.

CHRISTCHURCH. The students generally give promise of becoming worthy members of the teaching profession. On the professional side they have shown a keenness to excel and a desire to profit by every opportunity offered them that speaks well for their future success. It is pleasing to record that in all schools the associated teachers went to great pains to provide adequate training for students, and gave of their best to the work. This was reciprocated by enthusiasm on the part of the students, with very few exceptions. The endeavour made by students to get in touch with new methods and to become acquainted with useful apparatus was a particularly noticeable feature. In addition to preparation for general work, students are encouraged to make a special study of some branch of teaching. For this purpose a class was held for the study of rural-school problems. It was attended by thirty-six men and ninety-three women students, and provided a course of study and discussion for one hour per week throughout the year. The experiment tried last year for the purpose of giving the men an additional opportunity to become acquainted with infant-room procedure was again carried out this year. Students preparing to teach in post-primary schools received instruction in secondary-school aims and organization, and in the teaching of most of the subjects in the usual curriculum of postprimary schools. The Boys' and the Girls' High Schools and the Technical College were again available for teaching practice. The sympathetic co-operation of the teachers in the secondary schools is much appreciated. The secondary department of the Normal and West Christchurch Schools again rendered us very good and efficient service. The work done by the third-year specialists has fully justified their selection for special training. All third-year specialists have had adequate practice in the teaching of general subjects. The reports on the work of the first- and second-year students show that quite satisfactory progress has been made by most of the students.

DUNEDIN. Specialization. —During the past year we had twenty-one third-year students at the Training College. All these students worked diligently and made good progress with their special subjects, as well as in many cases doing satisfactory work in one or more classes at the University. In addition to these third-year specialists, numbers of first- and second-year students also specialized in one subject for an hour weekly. Physical instruction has again included tuition in swimming and life-saving. All have participated in land drill in life-saving methods. General. —With very few exceptions, the conduct and diligence of the students have been all that could be desired. As is usual, a small proportion of students worked too hard, while about an equal number are not sufficiently in earnest; most students, however, have done creditable work. Sports. —Thursday afternoons from 1 to 3 o'clock throughout the year have been devoted to sports of various kinds. For the first time in our college history ladies' cricket has taken its place as a recognized sport, and has become one of the most popular games with a large number of our students Clubs. —The Art, Dramatic, Debating, and Handicraft Clubs continued on much the same lines as in previous years. A Music Club and a Saturday-night Club were also inaugurated. Of these, the Handicraft, Dramatic, and Saturday-night Clubs held their meetings most regularly. Social Life.—The social life of the College was well catered for by .various functions, including picnics, rambles, camp-fires, dances, &c. College Garden,—Our new garden in King Street, taken over when the extension of the Botanical Gardens absorbed the plots we formerly used, has made wonderful progress under the assiduous care and skilful direction of Mr. McCaskill. Approximate Cost of Paper.—Preparation, not given ; printing (976 copies), £6*.
