1. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — Wellington, 12th June, 1931. I have the honour to present the report for the year 1930. With regard to the routine work of the Inspectorate there has been little deviation from the customary, practice. In the earlier part of the year eighteen departmental and eighteen private registered secondary schools were fully inspected, as well as the secondary departments of twentyfive district high schools. In the period following mid-July all the departmental schools were visited in connection with the annual classification of teachers and the award of senior free places and leaving certificates. The system of partial accrediting for free places that has been followed for several years past has been retained with slight modifications ; candidates who are not considered by the Inspectors ready to enter upon a senior course are allowed to sit the Intermediate Examination in November upon payment of a fee of 10s. During part of the year Mr. T. R. Cresswell, M.A., formerly Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools, was temporarily employed by the Department as an Inspector, chiefly in connection with Technical High Schools. " During his period of engagement he also inspected the West Christchurch District High School and four district high schools in the Hawke's Bay and Taranaki Districts. The number of departmental secondary schools has remained stationary at forty-four. The aggregate roll on the Ist March was 17,127. The corresponding numbers in 1928 and 1929 were 15,943 and 16,867 respectively. It is evident that the rate of increase in the secondary-school population has begun to be affected by the low birth-rate of the war period. Were it not for the disturbing effect of the present financial depression it is almost certain that the roll numbers for 1931 would have had difficulty in maintaining themselves at the 1930 level. When suitable avenues of employment are closed to so many of the boys and girls in our secondary schools it is only to be expected that many pupils will remain at school longer than they had intended to, and will so help to swell the roll of the upper forms. The tendency of pupils to remain at school was noticeable in the larger towns towards the close of the year, and, as a consequence, the big town schools maintained their end-of-year rolls at a higher level than was their custom. In country districts the opposite tendency was observed, boys being taken away from school to assist on the farms. During the year Dilworth School, Auckland, was added to the list of registered private secondary schools; these now number forty-eight, with an aggregate roll of 4,107, approximately 1,750 boys and 2,350 girls. Only two sittings of the Teachers' Appeal Board were necessary, one at Dunedin and the other at Hamilton. Five teachers appealed against their classification; three of the appeals were subsequently withdrawn, one was allowed, and the remaining one disallowed. The number of senior free places granted to pupils from departmental secondary schools on the Principals' recommendations remained almost stationary, 3,489 being granted, as against 3,448 in 1929. Pupils who fail to obtain these free places by accrediting may secure them by passing the Intermediate Examination ; in actual practice, however, only about 40 per cent, of the possible number of candidates think it worth their while to sit the examination. Of the 621 who actually did sit in November only sixty-two succeeded in passing. Higher leaving certificates, which entitle the holder to a University Bursary, provided he has not attained the age of nineteen years at the close of the year in which he qualifies for his certificate, were granted to 718 pupils from departmental and to 159 from endowed and registered private secondary schools on the recommendation of the Secondary School Inspectors. The corresponding numbers in 1928 were 674- and 104, and in 1929 they were 708 and 126. The remarkable increase in the numbers coming from Endowed and private schools is somewhat surprising. Lower leaving certificates, for which there is now a very limited demand, except from a few girls' schools, were awarded by a similar system of accrediting; only forty-two were granted, including ten to pupils in private secondary schools. In 1928 and 1929 there were awarded eighty-five and sixty-six respectively, ft is obvious, therefore, that under the present conditions of qualification and issue this certificate has outlived its period of usefulness. The general question of leaving certificates has again been considered by the Department during the year, and a conference was held with representatives of the secondary, technical, and registered private schools in December. The arguments submitted in my last report in favour of a school certificate examination to be held synchronously with the University Entrance Examination still appear to me as cogent as hitherto. There is no doubt that if the standard of the school certificate were once established at a satisfactory level by means of an independent examination, and if employers and the public generally were given the opportunity to learn to assess the certificate so obtained at its true value, the time would soon arrive, probably within three or four years, when a system of partial accrediting for the certificate could safely and profitably be introduced. There is a natural inclination to avoid the institution of an additional examination, even though its establishment would divert from another public examination scores of candidates for whom the latter was not intended, and whose school courses have been hampered or even mangled in an endeavour to prepare for it. In a time of unprecedented financial stress, moreover, the expense of conducting an additional public examination is not to be lightly undertaken by any public authority. A decision on the question of leaving certificates has for various reasons been postponed, but it is hoped that it will shortly be found practicable to devise some satisfactory solution, and so free many of our secondary pupils from the necessity of following the more or less rigid professional course based upon the requirements of the University Entrance Examination,

E.—6,

The introduction of a system of partial accrediting for University entrance is 110 nearer realization than it was a year ago. Enthusiasm for this reform appears to have waned considerably among secondary-school teachers, whilst the opposition that exists in certain quarters to any form of accrediting whatsoever is by no means quiescent. The position, so far as the Department is concerned, is that it has done all that it was required to do in connection with the initiation of the scheme. In May an additional Secondary Inspector was temporarily appointed in anticipation of the increased work that would devolve upon the Secondary Inspectorate and plans for the application of the scheme were worked out. A few weeks later, however, the Executive Committee of the University Senate, having discovered that certain Universities in England would not accept the Matriculation status of students from the University of Melbourne because this status was based on accrediting, decided that the scheme should, not be introduced in 1930 ; it further decided to ascertain from its agent in England whether the English universities would accept the New Zealand Matriculation if awarded by accrediting. The agent's reply was that as a result of his inquiries he considered that Matriculation by accrediting was not favoured by the English universities. It would appear, therefore, that the introduction of our proposed accrediting system must be postponed until such time as certain English universities come to realize that the safeguards attached to the system proposed in New Zealand differentiate it entirely from the systems in vogue in the United States and in Victoria. It is well to emphasize the point that in New Zealand only the best of the candidates for University entrance will be passed by accrediting ; others, about whose fitness either the Principals of the schools or the accrediting officers have any doubt at all, will be required to sit the public examination as heretofore. In other words, the accredited pass candidates will constitute a superior class of student, and not an inferior. For an outside university to refuse admittance to such a student, whilst admitting poorer students who have had to resort to examination to obtain their University Entrance pass, betokens an imperfect knowledge of the situation. In the meantime no definite progress may confidently be looked for. In anticipation of the introduction of accrediting the Department has for two years in succession enlisted the co-operation of the Principals of all secondary schools and of several other large postprimary schools in investigating the degree of correlation existing between their own estimate of the candidates' chances of success in the Entrance Examination and the actual successes obtained. Principals were asked to place their candidates in four groups : 1. Undoubtedly fit to pass and who would be accredited if a system were in operation. 11. Having a reasonable chance of passing. 111. Having only a poor chance of passing. IV. Almost certain to fail. Estimates were obtained in 1930 from seventy-one Principals, who reported upon 3,289 candidates ; of these 224 per cent, were placed in Group I (23-0 per cent, in 1929), 33-8 per cent, in Group II (35-0), 31-1 per cent, in Group 111 (27-6) and 12-7 per cent, in Group IV (14-4). Of the Group I candidates 12-8 per cent, failed, as against 9-9 per cent, in the preceding year. Of the forty-four departmental schools ten failed to pass 80 per cent, of their Group lor accredited " candidates (five mixed, three girls' and two boys' schools) ; in one girls' school only 58-3 per cent, -of them passed. In 1929 only three schools were in a like position. One boys' school had the unenviable distinction of appearing in this group two years in succession. On the other hand, the external examination was passed by 100 per cent, of the Group I candidates from twenty-three of the secondary schools in 1929 and from twentytwo in the following year. Twelve schools (four girls', four boys', and four mixed) appeared in the list both years. Two facts are apparent from a study of the detailed analysis of the results : one is that in any system of partial accrediting it would be unsafe to accredit on the average more than about 22| per cent, of the total number of candidates, and the other is that either the judgment of several Principals is still unreliable or the examination as at present devised and conducted does not select accurately the best candidates. It is admitted that the lack of the "examination temperament" or the effect of temporary disabilities may produce unexpected failures in the examination-room, but there should undoubtedly be a greater measure of correlation between the examination results and the Principals' estimates than has been revealed by the figures quoted above. Four years ago I drew attention to the unsuitability of the academic preparation of many of our younger secondary-school teachers, and pointed out that too many entrants into the service were obtaining honours in such comparatively unsuitable subjects as philosophy, economics, and education, and that there was a marked superabundance of teachers with honours in history. The position in district high schools is equally, perhaps even more, disconcerting ; instances are by no means rare where a teacher is attempting to teach all the usual secondary-school subjects after completing a degree course in philosophy, education, economies, history (pass and advanced), and one other subject. One feels that the English, science and mathematics, and the French or Latin of district high schools cannot be very efficiently taught by teachers equipped with such degrees. In the secondary schools the disadvantage to the pupil is not as a rule so pronounced, owing to the presence of a sprinkling of teachers who are specialists in various subjects ; but even here the position is far from satisfactory. In this connection a letter written by a Principal of a secondary school in April, 1930, is worth quoting ; his remarks undoubtedly compel attention : "I have been analysing the qualifications of the twenty-three applicants for a D position here. From the point of view of classroom equipment the results are ominous. Only three have taken science in any form for their pass degree, only five have taken mathematics, and only eleven have taken English. The other pass subjects are Latin (9), French (12), history (15), economics (10), education (18), philosophy (7), Greek art and literature (5), &c. For honours, out of fourteen no fewer than ten have taken history, one Latin, one education, and two English and French. Ido not know where we shall be in a few years if this trend away from science and mathematics continues. Moreover, English should be a compulsory subject for every graduate."

Prom time to time the Secondary Inspectors in their talks to Sixth Form pupils advise those who contemplate taking up secondary-school work to include as many teaching subjects in their degree course as possible, and to avoid advanced work in non-teaching subjects. It would be well, too, for Principals both of schools and of training colleges to give similar advice on appropriate occasions. It is pleasing to note that, except in Auckland, the heads of both boys' and girls' secondary schools have continued to co-operate with the Department in providing opportunities for observation and a little practice to those training-college students who definitely intend to take up secondaryschool teaching. The technical and district high schools in the four centres and the Kowhai Junior High School have also provided facilities for training young secondary-school teachers. The proportion of trained teachers among the entrants to the ranks of secondary-school teachers continues to be very high, especially among the men. Of the twenty-eight male entrants this last year twenty-three had taken a training-college course, and there were only three who had had neither previous teaching nor training-college experience. The position as regards the women was not so satisfactory ; there were thirty-one women entrants ; of these sixteen had passed through a training college, seven others had been given some practice in teaching during their home-science degree course, and five others had had previous teaching experience. Not many secondary pupils are given the opportunity to devote much time to geography during their school course, and the majority of them do not take the subject for the University Entrance Examination. As a consequence, their geographical knowledge on entering the training college has been in many cases extremely limited, and it has been found difficult to equip them as teachers of a subject which plays so important a part in the primary-school syllabus. Many women students, similarly, have learned no mathematics before entering the training college. It is for these reasons that both geography and mathematics have been made compulsory subjects in the recently instituted training college Entrance Examination. English, history, and drawing are also compulsory subjects, but French, Latin, and science are not included. As exemption from the examination in any subject may be obtained by qualifying in it for the higher leaving certificate, the institution of the examination has had a somewhat disturbing effect upon the programmes of Sixth Forms, especially in girls' schools, where there has been evident an inclination to drop science and foreign languages in order to concentrate upon the subjects required for the Training College Entrance. It is to be hoped that this tendency will not develop unduly, as our future secondary-school teachers cannot afford to leave school poorly equipped in either languages or science. With regard to the courses of study in secondary schools, the process of the liberalization of curricula referred to in a previous report continues at a steady pace. Woodwork, for example, in 1928 was taught in 50 per cent, of the schools attended by boys ; in 1930 this percentage had increased to 76, and one-third of all Third and Fourth Form boys in our secondary schools were being taught the subject. Bookkeeping was taught in forty schools and shorthand' and typing in twenty-eight; approximately one-fourth of all secondary pupils were learning these subjects. In two years the number of pupils learning Latin has fallen by 3 per cent.' and now only 43 per cent, of our boys and 31 per cent, of the girls take the subject. As regards agriculture the subject just holds its own ; probably that is as much as can reasonably be expected of it in a time when the primary industries of the country are so seriously affected by the prevalent depression. As part of vocational or semi-vocational courses, agriculture is taught in seventeen boys' or mixed secondary schools, as against sixteen two years ago ; the percentage of boys in these schools who take the subject has fallen, however, in the same period from 23 to 21-4. On the other hand, the proportion of all boy pupils learning agriculture has shown a slight increase, and stood at 9-9 per cent, on the Ist July, 1930. Among the notable progressive movements of the year have been, first, the purchase by the Rangiora High School of a block of 85 acres of high-grade farming-land near the school upon which dairy and general farming are being carried out on practical lines, and, secondly, the successful development at the Waitaki Boys' High School of the system of taking the agricultural classes regularly to " co-opted " farms where the boys are enabled to engage in such practical work as ploughing, the sowing of crops, the docking of lambs, drafting, dipping, and trucking sheep, classifying and judging stock, &c., under expert practical farmers. The district high schools chosen for inspection this past year were those of the Auckland Education District. It was the general opinion of the three Secondary Inspectors who visited the twenty-five schools in that area that the district high schools were an outstanding feature of the education system in the Auckland Province. In the main, considerable improvement was noted since the preceding visit in 1927. The length of the school week and of the lesson periods had been brought more into accordance with modern views on these points. More opportunities for specialization in teaching were being given to the staff, and in most cases more courses of study were being offered. The inclusion in the curriculum of the more aesthetic subjects has, however, not progressed to any great extent. This is due in part to the difficulty in finding teachers with special qualifications in the arts, but it appears mainly to arise from a reluctance to spare time for subjects which do not pay in examination. Any such misgivings on the part of the teachers are no doubt re-enforced by the views of many of the parents with regard to the money-earning value of secondary education. Another feature in district-high-school life which requires the development of a keen local interest for its success is the extension of library equipment. In conclusion, I have again to express my recognition of the earnest desire of secondary-school principals and staffs to attain a high standard of efficiency and of their willingness to work in harmony with the Department's officers. And again also I have to thank my colleagues for their zealous co-operation and assistance. I have, &c., E. J. Pare, Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools. The Director of Education.
