1. REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to present the following report for the year ended. 31st December, 1931 : — Inspectorate. During the year the following Inspectors retired on superannuation : — Mr. J. Robertson, 8.A., B.Sc., Senior Inspector, Auckland. Mr. N. R. McKenzie, Senior Inspector, New Plymouth. Mr. T. J. Griffin, 8.A., Senior Inspector, Nelson. Mr. G-. P. Graham, 8.A., Inspector, Canterbury. Mr. J. Brunton, M.A., Inspector, Canterbury. Mr. A. N. Burns, M.A., Inspector, Wellington. Mr. C. R. Munro, Inspector, Auckland. Mr. D. E. Leslie, Inspector, Auckland. Both as teachers and Inspectors these gentlemen have given faithful and valuable service to education in the Dominion, and they take with them the best wishes of the Service for the long enjoyment of well-earned leisure. Early in the year Mr. S. A. Clark was transferred from Napier to Christchurch, and Mr. E. Bissell, of Hastings Street School, joined the Hawke's Bay Staff as ActingInspector. The present staff consists of 35 Inspectors. In 1930 the number was 44. General Efficiency of the Schools. During the year the work of the schools has proceeded in a very satisfactory manner, and on the whole pleasing progress has been made in the various subjects. The Inspectors report that composition, writing, nature-study, drawing, and handwork, and singing have shown improvement, in some cases marked improvement, upon the work of the previous year. Spelling is the weakest subject, and further consideration of the methods adopted in teaching it seem to be necessary. It would appear that the easier standard of marking errors in spelling in the proficiency test during the two or three years previous to 1931 led to a falling-off in accuracy, and that a return to the previous scale of marking was called for to impress upon pupils the importance of correct spelling. Proficiency Examination. For a number of years it had been the practice for the Inspectors to accredit pupils, on the recommendation of their teachers, in the award of proficiency certificates. Originally only a small percentage of qualified pupils were awarded the certificate without examination, but latterly in some districts very few pupils in the larger schools were required to sit for the examination. In 1931 the Department felt that the time had arrived when the efficiency of this method of qualifying should be reviewed to ascertain whether the standard of attainment demanded for the award of a proficiency certificate, and the junior free place in a post-primary school that the certificate carried with it, was approximately equal throughout the Dominion. Instructions were issued to the effect that all candidates would be required to sit for the examination, but that in determining the passes the Inspectors would, as in previous years, consult the teachers, wherever possible, and the class lists showing the record of each pupil's work during the year. Passes were thus determined on the result of a written examination and the school record. Some changes were made in the papers set, the chief being the discontinuance of the questions in English that admitted of one-word answers, the re-introduction- of dictation and the raising of the standard of marking in spelling, and a reduction by ten minutes of the time allowed for written arithmetic. The results in the public schools in the various districts ranged from 63-5 per cent, to 78-6 per cent,, the average being 67-0 per cent., which is 11-9 per cent, lower than that of 1930. The following reasons are given by the Inspectors for the decrease in the percentage of passes : — (1) Over-promotion of pupils, especially in schools where the accrediting system was in operation. Where this took place over a number of years pupils entered Form II poorly prepared in the work of the lower standards, and, hence, were unable to assimilate thoroughly the instruction in the highest class. (2) A more definite differentiation than heretofore between those pupils that might take up an academic post-primary course and those whose post-primary course should be non-academic. It would seem probable, however, that the lower percentage of passes was due in some measure to an unintentional and unperceived lowering of the standard of attainment required of the candidates. For a number of years in some districts only the children who were not accredited in large schools and the children in small country schools were examined on the test set by the Department. The consequence was that the standard reached by the pupils who were examined by the Inspectors tended to become the standard of attainment required from all candidates in the school or district. The standard reached was naturally lower than it would have been had all the best pupils in the school or district been included in this examination. Support is given to this opinion by the fact that the Dominion percentage of passes in the private' schools where accrediting had been less freely used was over 2 per cent, higher than it was in public schools ; and also by the fact that in two districts the percentages of passes were 9-5 and 5 respectively higher in the country schools than in the larger centres.

Reading-circles and Discussion Centres. As far as time has permitted the Inspectors have held informal conferences with the teachers to discuss with them methods of teaching and advances in educational science. These meetings have been productive of much good, and have led many a teacher to revise his teaching practice or to adopt some new method of instruction. It is to such thoughtful study on the part of teachers that we must look for progress, and the maintenance of interest in solving the problems of education is full of promise for the future. The head teachers of the central schools of country districts have a splendid opportunity of improving the standard of education within their sphere of influence, by acting as the agency for the exchange of new ideas and specimens of school-work, by establishing and leading discussion circles and, above all, by setting an example of efficient teaching in their own schools. Where the head teacher of a township school has thus realized his responsibilities to his younger and less experienced brethren, the effect is quickly seen in an improved standard of efficiency all round. Environment. Generally speaking, the interest taken in the school surroundings by both Committees and teachers is worthy of commendation. The education districts, however, differ very considerably in this regard. During the year many Committees took advantage of the unemployment schemes to affect improvements, and grounds that were once rough and swampy have been transformed and made into gardenplots and lawns. In some districts the award of environment certificates has had a stimulating effect, and there is evidence throughout the Dominion that the playgrounds are more attractive now than they have ever been. Beautiful grounds not only foster civic pride and the love of beauty, but also give valuable knowledge of, and practical experience in dealing with, lawns and paths, shrubs, flowers, grasses, and weeds. It is hoped that in those schools where the importance of a good environment has not yet been appreciated a change will quickly be effected. District High Schools. District high schools play an important part in their community in providing post-primary education for children who are unable to attend secondary and technical schools. In the past the curriculum of these schools has been too academic for many of the pupils, but during the year special attention was directed to this shortcoming, and the Inspectors, agricultural instructors, and manual-training instructors were asked to devise courses of instruction which would be more closely in touch with the needs of the district, and which would raise the efficiency of the instruction especially in agriculture, woodwork, and domestic science. The desirability of including art and music was also stressed. As a result of this conference, it is expected that in 1932 the district high schools will provide a better-balanced secondary course, partly practical, to meet the needs of those pupils who should not take up the purely academic course leading to the University Entrance Examination. By way of criticism of teaching methods in the secondary departments, it may be said that formal class-teaching is too prominent a feature. Independent research by the pupils is often preferable, so that they will become students in the true sense of the term. Special Classes. During the year no new special classes have been opened, but those already established have carried on with enrolments varying from thirteen to twenty-two. The supply of handwork materials has been somewhat curtailed, but teachers have shown considerable ingenuity in using waste materials for this purpose. Some pupils show a degree of manual skill that seems to warrant further tuition at the technical schools, and in several centres an experiment is being carried out along these lines. While no special-class child is capable of passing the proficiency examination, some possess the manual ability and the social adaptability that should be given the opportunity for the fullest possible development, and it is for these that the co-operation of the technical schools is sought. In addition to the special classes for backward children there are six special classes for those who are partially deaf and for children suffering from serious speech defects. The teachers of these classes conduct also evening classes for adults who wish to learn lip-reading. Seven teachers are employed in teaching children who are spending long periods in hospitals, and in three centres there are open-air schools for delicate children whose health must be specially considered. The pupils for these schools are selected by the School Medical Officers. Exchange of Teachers. Under this scheme, which has now been in operation for over twelve years, teachers are accepted from overseas education authorities annually to exchange positions with New Zealand teachers. In 1931 six such exchanges were arranged, five being with teachers from different parts of the British Isles and. one from Natal, South Africa. Two Canadian teachers completed their year's service in New Zealand during the year and returned to Canada in August last. It has become necessary, for the time being, to amend the conditions under which leave is granted to teachers who are selected for exchange abroad. Up to the present time teachers have received full pay both during the twelve months in which they were teaching abroad and for the time necessarily taken up in travelling. In future such teachers' leave for travelling will be without pay, except in so far as it falls within the recognized New Zealand school vacations. I have, &c., N. T.

2. REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to present the report for the year 1931. As a result of the diminution in the number of the Department's senior officers, the routine work of the Inspectorate was considerably interrupted during the year by Inspectors being required to remain in Wellington to assist in administrative work. The staff still consists of three besides myself —namely, Miss J. I. Hetherington, M.A. (Dublin), Mr. E. Caradus, B.Sc., and Mr. J. B. Mawson, M.A. The programme of inspection accomplished was, nevertheless, commensurate with those undertaken in previous years. In the earlier part of the year seventeen departmental and twenty-three registered private secondary schools were fully inspected, as well as the secondary departments of twenty-nine district high schools. Later in the year all departmental schools were visited in connection with the annual classification of teachers and the award of senior free places and higher leaving certificates. The former system of partial accrediting for the free places and of complete accrediting for the certificates has not been departed from in any material respect. An outstanding event of the year was the calamitous earthquake in the Hawke's Bay District and the ensuing dislocation and interruption in the school life of so many children in that area. The disaster occurred during the first morning of the secondary school year. Though several pupils, more particularly at the Napier Girls' High School, were seriously hurt, there was fortunately no actual loss of life in the secondary schools themselves. One pupil at the Hastings High School, however, was killed in a shop in the town. The buildings suffered severely. At the girls' school in Napier the twostoried brick building in course of erection for the new school was damaged beyond repair, and ultimately had to be demolished and removed ; the old school, a wooden building, was so badly wrenched and torn that it too had to be pulled down. At the boys' school the large assembly hall was razed to the ground and the hostel and several class-rooms were rendered unsafe for occupation. Hastings High School suffered considerable damage and the private schools at Havelock North were both badly knocked about, lona to such an extent that it had to close for the year. The complete destruction of the Napier Technical School (with the unfortunate loss of several lives) and the irreparable damage done to the nearly completed new Technical School buildings rendered the reorganization of post-primary education in Napier not only desirable, but extremely necessary. Steps were accordingly taken to establish combined or amalgamated schools which would provide instruction in all the courses and subjects hitherto taught separately or in duplicate in the secondary and technical schools. Under the Finance Act of April, 1931, a Napier Secondary Education Board was established and in the second term the Boys' and the Girls High Schools were reopened as separate " combined schools." Both schools worked under very great difficulties for the remainder of the year, the girls' in sheds and rooms scattered about the school-grounds and the boys' partly in temporary erections at the High School and partly at the Technical School workshops over a mile away. The Finance Act referred to also provided for the establishment of combined schools at Nelson under the Council of Governors of Nelson College. Later in the year regulations for combined schools, based in the meantime on those for technical schools, were issued by the Department and applied at once to the Napier schools. Their application to the Nelson schools and to the New Plymouth schools —where a somewhat similar amalgamation had been effected in 1927 —was, however, postponed till the commencement of the ensuing year. Including the two Napier schools, the number of departmental secondary schools has remained at forty-four. The aggregate roll on Ist March was 17,122, as compared with 17,127 and 16,867 in 1930 and 1929 respectively. The value of the 1931 figures for purposes of comparison is, however, depreciated by the fact that by no means all the pupils from the earthquake area had at that date been enrolled at other secondary schools as refugee children. The roll numbers at the close of the year, a more reliable basis of comparison, have been 14,905, 15,552, and 15,873 in the successive years 1929, 1930, and 1931. From these figures it would appear that the secondary rolls had increased at a uniformly steady rate. At the close of the past year, however, the rolls have undoubtedly been abnormally swelled by the comparatively large number of pupils who were forced by stress of circumstances to remain at school longer than they had intended. In the present economic depression employment has been almost impossible to obtain, especially in the towns, and, as a consequence, the upper forms in the secondary schools have become disproportionately large. Another effect of the depression has been to reduce materially the number of new entrants into secondary schools. Whereas the number of these was 6,044 in 1929, increasing to 6,134 in 1930, it fell to 5,626 in 1931 — a disconcerting fall of over 8 per cent. Contributing factors to the decrease have been the low birthrates of the later war period, the opening of the Otahuhu Intermediate School near Auckland, and the dislocation caused by the earthquake. On the 1931 figures the prospects for undiminished secondary school rolls in 1932 and 1933 are far from promising. During the year St. Patrick's College, Silverstream, was added to the list of registered private secondary schools ; these now number forty-nine, with an aggregate roll (on Ist July) of 3,940 (1.776 boys and 2,164 girls). Only three appeals were lodged by teachers against their classification ; as all of these were subsequently withdrawn, the Appeal Board was not required to sit, the first occasion on which no session has been necessary.

The number of senior free places granted to pupils from departmental secondary schools on the Principal's recommendation has shown a slight increase—3,6ss were granted as against 3,489 in 1930 and 3,448 in 1929. Of the candidates who failed to obtain free places by accrediting, 594 sat for the Intermediate examination in November ; ninety-one of these, a little over 15 per cent., succeeded in passing. Higher leaving certificates, giving the holder the highest normal qualification for appointment to a probationership in the primary-school service, and also entitling him, if the certificate is obtained before reaching the age of nineteen, to a University Bursary, continue to be granted by a system of accrediting. The number awarded in 1931 was exceptionally large, as was only to be expected from the abnormal size of the Sixth Forms in the larger centres. Certificates were awarded to as many as 978 pupils from departmental and to 186 from endowed and registered private secondary schools, as against 718 and 159 in the preceding year and 708 and 126 in 1929. The demand for lower leaving certificates, also awarded by accrediting, has practically ceased to exist; only three were awarded, as against forty-two in 1930. The question of the reorganization of the whole-system of school leaving certificates has remained in abeyance for still another year. The matter has not been overlooked, but the attention of the administrative staff has been so much occupied with the difficulties and the problems arising from the financial stringency that little time could be spared for devising a scheme that would surmount the difficulties referred to in my last report. Opposition to the proposed system of partial accrediting for University entrance has not decreased during the past year, and the former supporters of the change have apparently relapsed into an attitude of indifference in the matter. The chief stumbling-block lies undoubtedly in the undisguised hostility of the English Universities towards any system of selection other than that of examination. Possibly also their hostility has not been diminished by the reports concerning the results of the system of complete accrediting that obtains in many parts of the United States. It is hardly necessary to point out once more the obvious differences between the American practice and the procedure proposed for NewZealand. All that remains to be said is that for the present accrediting for University entrance has ceased to be a matter of interest to our educationists. In connection with the training of secondary-school teachers it is pleasing to note that the Auckland secondary schools have now fallen into line with those in the other training-college centres in providing opportunities for observation and teaching practice to selected training-college students. The technical district, and junior high schools in the four centres also continue to assist in a like manner. The system is by no means an ideal one, but much good is nevertheless being accomplished under the present arrangement. The thanks of the Department are undoubtedly due to those Principals and heads of departments who, in a purely honorary capacity, have ungrudgingly given of their time to assisting and advising the students. The number of new entrants into the ranks of secondary-school teachers in 1932 was much smaller than usual; only thirty-one (nineteen men and twelve women) as against fifty-nine in the preceding year. Seventy-five per cent, of the women entrants and 79 per cent, of the men had passed through a training-college course. Only 19 per cent, of the entrants had had neither previous teaching nor training-college experience. The situation in respect to the training of secondary-school teachers is obviously much more satisfactory than it was some fifteen years ago, when the majority of entrants were wholly untrained and no facilities for practice were available in the secondary schools. It is pleasing to record that a considerable number of teachers display marked keenness in continuing their University and professional studies. In the majority of cases the necessity of obtaining an honours degree or its equivalent has no doubt been a compelling faqtor, but there are not a few instances where teachers have been dissatisfied with the utility of the subjects in which they have obtained their degrees, and have taken up University work in subjects more useful to them in their teaching ; others have studied for the Diploma of Education or have taken an additional degree in commerce. Others again have gone further afield, and have travelled to Europe or to America, in some cases to pursue a definite course of study, usually in France or in England, and in others to broaden their outlook and knowledge by contact with the people and customs of other lands. Not a few of these have interested themselves in foreign educational institutions of various types, and some have furnished the Department with illuminating comments on educational developments abroad. During the past four years no fewer than thirty-five assistant teachers (eleven men and twenty-four women) have availed themselves of the opportunity to travel to Europe or America. It is problematical, however, whether this rate will be maintained in the immediately succeeding years. Turning to the consideration of the quality and the standard of instruction given in the schools, it is not easy to generalize over a large range of subjects taught with different degrees of specialization in a variety of schools. Even the methods followed, especially in such subjects as French and geography, agriculture, and history, vary considerably from school to school. The Department has no desire to restrict teachers to any one uniform method of teaching a subject, and it has therefore consistently refrained from issuing detailed directions as to methods and syllabuses. The Inspectors, however, have at all times been able to suggest improvements in methods, to point out the proved deficiencies of some, and to stress the proved success of others after their trial in other schools. In the majority of schools the general standard in English continued to be very satisfactory, and due attention is given both to literature and to the formal but essential groundwork in grammar. Oral composition is not being neglected ; practice in speaking and dramatic work is being given in most schools, and an increasing interest is being taken in the reading of modern plays. In some schools, however, there is still need for greater insistence on good enunciation. With regard to the formal work there is still room for closer co-ordination between the primary and the secondary schools. The primary-school syllabus in English appears to be reasonably satisfactory, but the extent to which it

5

E.—2.

is taught or put into effect varied apparently from school to school, with the result that in some cases secondary-school work has to begin from practically a zero mark. Pupils commencing a post-primary course should have as a minimum equipment the ability to recognize the various parts of speech and their functions and a sound knowledge of case and tense. In French the methods followed are in general a satisfactory compromise between the " direct " and the "indirect" methods. The professional equipment of teachers of this subject has improved remarkably in the past ten years or so ; a fair number indeed have profited by residence and study in France. In spite of this improvement in the quality of the teaching, the subject of French still remains one of the most difficult in the curriculum to teach successfully. Part of the failure in public examinations is due to the fact that parents expect too much from their children in a two or three years' acquaintance with secondary subjects. Where French is to be taken for the University Entrance Examination at the end of the third year a minimum of four to five hours a week in the subject is necessary in each year. Teachers are still finding some difficulty in keeping the different sections of the history syllabus for the Public Service Entrance Examination in the right perspective. It should be obvious to every teacher that the period before 1485 should be studied in the merest outline and that the chief attention should be given to the history of the Tudor and following periods. It may be added that time and energy are sometimes wasted at the beginning of the secondary course by ignoring or neglecting to uncover the foundations of history knowledge which have been laid in the primary schools. The District High Schools visited during the past year were those of the Canterbury, Otago, and Southland Districts. There were, as was only to be expected, considerable variations in the standard reached in the various schools, even among those within the same dictrict, but, on the whole, the general standard was good. There was abundant evidence that the teachers in these secondary departments were conscientiously giving of their best, and there was an atmosphere of keenness and industry in nearly every school visited. In some cases, perhaps, this keenness had been unduly exploited in the direction of narrowing the syllabus down in order to enable pupils to pass external examinations in the minimum possible time. There is still a tendency to concentrate too much on the examination syllabus and to exclude subjects with a cultural value only. Drawing and singing, for example, receive no attention at all in some secondary departments, and but scant attention in others. Another weakness is the lack of supervision over the work of candidates for the higher leaving certificates. In a few cases the programmes of these pupils had been entirely neglected. In conclusion, I have again to thank my colleagues for their whole-liearted co-operation and assistance. I have, &c., E. J. Parr, Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools.

3. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Sir, — Ī have the honour to present my report for tlie year ending 31st December, 1931. General. Statistical information in regard to manual and technical instruction is no longer separately given, except for part-time classes, held mainly in the evening, and that relating to the financial operations of Technical School Boards, and other Boards in relation to technical classes, excluding those of Boards governing combined schools. The development in recent years of schools of various kinds, including junior high schools and combined schools, in which a considerable portion of the teaching comes naturally under the general supervision and inspection of the specialist Inspectors of technical schools, and the growth of courses of a practical character in the district high schools and also in many cases in the secondary schools, especially those in which are incorporated junior high schools, has led to an extension of the work of the technical-school Inspectors beyond the group of schools included in former E.-5 papers. Similarly the work of the secondary-school Inspectors has been extended to reach those parts of the technical day school courses which are more definitely of secondary-school character, while primaryschool Inspectors also are concerned with manual-training centres conducted by specialist teachers, with the work of the itinerant agricultural instructors and with the work of the district high schools. The former sharp divisions between primary, secondary, and technical schools are somewhat blurred by the existence of intermediate institutions whose functions cannot be defined wholly within one category or another of these three. It must not be inferred, however, that the existence of intermediate forms is a negation of the essential differences between the technical high school and the ordinary secondary school. The recent constitution of combined schools is an attempt to secure in one institution the leading advantages of both secondary and technical high schools.

6

E.—2.

The difficulty of this problem may be gauged from a consideration of the essential differences between the two classes of institutions. In a town capable of supporting an evening school the technical school is able to develop its true character, and only in such a town. In such a technical school the day school or technical high school is the natural nursery for the evening continuation and technical classes. Usually the pupils leave the day school when they reach the age at which learners are admitted to the several trades or occupations for which they are preparing. This means, in general, that few of the day pupils remain in the day school for more than two or three years, the average stay being less than two years. The prominence necessarily given to the evening class work determines in a large measure the location, buildings, equipment, courses, and organization of the technical school. The conditions for the full development of an efficient evening school may be summarized as follows :— (1) There must be a sufficient population engaged in industry and commerce to support a reasonable number of classes of suitable size. (2) There must be capable and sympathetic direction. (3) There must be efficient instruction by enthusiastic teachers, who must in all trade subjects have had good trade experience, and should be in constant touch with trade requirements. (4) The buildings must be centrally situated, convenient, and properly equipped for trade work. (5) There must be close contact with local industry and commerce. (6) There must be efficient office management and systematic " follow up " work with students. (7) There must be a development of corporate life and feeling, the growth of a school spirit and school tradition, and a favourable reputation with the public. Lacking these conditions the evening school cannot flourish. More than any other educational institution the evening technical school is dependent on the good will and interest of its students and of the public. The technical high school is therefore necessarily organized on lines to suit and promote the development of the evening work. It provides at once a training-ground for future evening students and day occupation for many of the eveningclass teachers. Its existence promotes most effectively the growth of a corporate life and feeling and a school spirit and tradition in the evening school, knitting together into an organic whole what would otherwise be a congeries of separate parts. From its close contact with industry the technical school divides naturally along the lines of separation of its several courses. Each course has its own syllabus, its own organization, its own head, and its specialist teachers, and its own contact with industry. The heads of departments in the technical high school are also usually heads of the corresponding courses in the evening school, and the full-time teachers are employed partly in day and partly in evening classes in which they collaborate with instructors from the trade or occupation concerned. The whole organization is planned to secure as close a connection as possible with trade and industry, the demands of which are carefully studied. The school itself is placed in a central position, playing-fields and spacious grounds being a secondary consideration in this respect. It is naturally, if not necessarily, a co-educational institution, even in the largest cities, for much the same reasons as the University colleges are coeducational. Thus the constitution and organization of the technical high school are determined primarily by the conditions essential for the successful operation of the evening school. On the other hand, it is found that the evening school cannot become a coherent institution with a corporate life without a considerable full-time staff and a body of day students, nor is it economical to provide buildings and equipment, for evening work alone. The day and evening classes are therefore in a great measure complementary to each other, and in the Dominion the day pupils on leaving the technical high school to go to work normally enrol in the evening classes for further more directly vocational training for the occupation in which they are engaged. There is no doubt that such an institution, properly conducted, is an efficient and economical educational instrument for the training of the great mass of those occupied in commerce and industry. It is definitely designed to supply the needs mainly of the child of average ability who can spend two or at the most three years in post-primary day schools and has little taste or inclination for academic studies. It is, of course, quite possible to add to the several commercial, industrial, art, and domestic courses of the technical high school, a general course suitable for the pupil who intends to enter some professional occupation, and proposes to remain at the day school for four or five years, and some of the work of such a general course will be suitable for pupils in the more technical courses who wish to prepare for the higher technical courses of the University. Such work is, however, ancillary to the normal business of the institution. Consider, on the other hand, the characteristics of a secondary school of the type corresponding in the Dominion to the public schools of Great Britain. In the first place such a secondary school is designed, to meet the needs of those who will remain for four or five years at school and will normally prepare for the University Entrance Examination, and continue in the Sixth Form in order to qualify for a higher leaving certificate or to sit for a University Entrance Scholarship. It is definitely not co-educational, for a number of reasons, chief among them being the decided opinion, in many respects well founded, that boys of seventeen and eighteen years of age should be trained, under men, and girls of those ages under women. The simplest way of ensuring that the training of the girls shall be entirely under women is to have separate girls' schools. There are other advantages in separating the sexes, and, on the whole, for the purposes of the long-course school, separation is generally regarded as being necessary to the development of a normal school atmosphere and school spirit on traditional lines. In the second place, the necessity for placing the school in a central position in the town is not urgent, but ample playing-fields must

7

E.—2.

be secured if the school is to hold up its head in sports and games. Not only playing-fields but gardens and ornamental grounds are a necessary part of the school environment. The school can therefore rarely be placed in the most convenient position for ready access from the business centre of the town. In the third place, the organization of the school requires that the principal subjects of the professional and general courses shall be in as capable hands as possible. Hence the heads of departments are in charge of general subjects or groups of subjects such as English, mathematics, science, Latin, modern languages, and not of special courses such as commerce, engineering, agriculture, as in the technical high school. Thus the Sixth Form has the advantage of being taught by all the best teachers in the school, each, a specialist in the subject which he teaches. In a technical high school the heads of departments are distributed over the various courses, and only one, or at the most two, comes into direct contact with any particular pupil. The special courses in a technical high school are framed and managed by the heads of the courses who have definite trade or professional training in the occupations for which the courses are a preparation. In the secondary school the professional courses, usually English, Latin, French, mathematics, science, with sufficient history, &c., in the lower forms to satisfy the regulations for free places, is the " type " course, and other courses are derived from it by " dropping " Latin or Latin and French, and substituting " agriculture," or " bookkeeping and shorthand" or other vocational subjects according to the course. Remembering that the status and reputation of a secondary school depend in no small degree on the quality of the work done in the Sixth Form, the reason for the organization of its heads of departments as a team of specialist teachers in the main subjects of the professional course is obvious. In the three cases of amalgamation that have taken place recently it is impossible to say, as yet, whether the inherent difficulties of the problem of the combined school will be reasonably well overcome. It is already evident that the staffing scale of the combined school should be 011 a more liberal basis than that of the technical high school or of the secondary school, and the difficulty of the organization of the departments of the school, whether according to the system of the secondary school or according to that of the technical high school, has not vet been satisfactorily solved. In each of the three cases, also, the combined school is separated into boys' and girls' schools and the evening work has not been, so carefully co-ordinated with the day work as would have been possible under one head in a large co-educational institution. These combined schools are further handicapped from the point of view of their technical courses by the fact that the buildings formerly occupied by the technical high school have not been replaced by suitable accommodation at the schools to which the day pupils have been transferred, and must still be used at considerable inconvenience by pupils taking technical courses. In the case of New Plymouth, where the amalgamation has been virtually complete for some three years, the technical courses, day and evening, are still mainly under the direction of the former Principal of the technical school, whose co-operation with the Principals of the boys' and girls' schools has been sufficiently close to enable the work to be carried out with a fair measure of success, but it cannot be said that we may anticipate even in this case anything like full compliance with the conditions stated above on which the establishment of an efficient and economical system of technical instruction depends. In the other two recent cases of amalgamation the conditions, so far, are not favourable to the vigorous development of combined institutions performing the functions of the technical school as well as those of the secondary school. The Technical High Schools. These schools fall naturally into two main groups, those which are the only post-primary schools in small country centres and which therefore take all courses and those which, situated in. the main centres and cities of the Dominion, devote themselves almost exclusively to pre-vocational and technical training. The schools in the former group, generally of small or medium size, have a difficult task to arrange their time-tables so as to provide for many courses with relatively small staffs. Many compromises are necessary, but it must be acknowledged that, on the whole, the schools solve this problem remarkably well, aided as they are by the elasticity of the regulations, which give a large measure of freedom to the Principal in the arrangement of his courses. The curricula of these schools are naturally biased to some extent by the nature of local industrial conditions, so that when the academic courses desired by many of the pupils have been provided for, pre-vocational courses in agriculture, commerce, engineering, and building trades, and domestic arts are strongly developed. Indeed, in certain schools, as at the Feilding Technical High School, where favourable conditions now exist, the pre-vocational course —in this case the agricultural course —is made the backbone of the curriculum, other courses being regarded as subsidiary ones. The actual teaching in these schools shows steady improvement, as young teachers highly qualified and sensitive to the trend of events, not only in the narrow world of educational theories but in the world of affairs outside, take their places in the schools. General organization for sports and games, for social activities of various kinds, and for various degrees of self-government is observed to be very well done in these schools. In the latter group are included the larger technical high schools in centres where other postprimary schools are to be found. These schools form an essential part of a complete technical school organization comprising both day and evening classes, each of which is complementary to and reinforces the activities of the other. In these largo schools, three at least of which number more than a thousand day pupils, we have examples of organized educational activities which for efficiency, economy, and effectiveness are truly remarkable. Provided with staffs made up on the one side of University graduates, many with honours degrees, and on the other of industrialists, tradesmen, and professional men with sound practical and theoretical knowledge, these schools take as their aim the education of " the whole man." The methods of teaching show versatility and powers of adaptation of material conditions, often not of the best, which are deserving of the greatest praise,

8

E.—2.

Since technical education is more particularly concerned with the reactions between man and material things, it follows that the workshops and laboratories are the features which should distinguish such schools from all others, and they should form the nucleus about which should centre the activities of the whole school. This fact is becoming more fully realized in recent years, and so far as funds have been available the equipment has been modernized and improved not only by direct grant from the Government, but also by the setting-apart for this purpose of a proportion of those grants which are made for general purposes. It is being recognized that a new industrial revolution is taking place at the present time in New Zealand, a movement which is much more pronounced and complete in the older countries of the world—that of industrial specialization—and this fact must have strong repercussions upon our system of vocational training. There are signs that the schools are aware of what is happening, and are taking such steps as they may to meet the new conditions of industrial organization in which their students must in the future find their places. It must be realized that the process of adjustment cannot be carried on without considerable expenditure of money, and that the schools have but little to spare after essential working-expenses are paid, which could be devoted to this purpose. Reviewing the teaching as a whole, it can "be confidently stated that in increasing degree the work is gaining yearly in vitality, sincerity, and in adaptiveness to industrial conditions and the general educational needs of the largest section of the community. Manual Training. The work of handicraft training in special centres of pupils attending primary schools and district high schools has been carried out with zeal and success during the past year. With but one exception, handicraft training for boys takes the form of woodwork and for girls of cookery, housewifery, and laundry work. So far as the teaching in woodwork is concerned, distinct improvements have been noted during the past year. A well qualified body of young and enthusiastic teachers is being built up. These teachers, nearly all fully trained and expert tradesmen, have studied the theoretical basis of their craft and the process of education, and have in many cases gained the whole or part of the teacher's handicraft certificate awarded by the Education Department. The improvement in schemes of work and in the facility for individual work for advanced boys is evident. Greater attention has been paid to the care and maintenance of the equipment and to the sharpening of the tools, with beneficial effects upon the quality of the work produced. It is unfortunate that in some districts supplies of suitable timber for manual training are not easy to obtain, for it is undoubtedly true that in those districts where suitable timber is supplied the results have amply justified the extra expenditure. In the teaching of domestic science chief attention is paid to the art of cookery, but laundry work and needlework taken as short courses occupy a subsidiary place in some districts. The teachers are, on the whole, well trained and perform their tasks satisfactorily. Owing to the need for economy and the reduced allowances paid to Boards, the supply of material has been cut down to the barest minimum by some Boards, and the difficulties of teaching have thereby been greatly increased ; for cooking methods are profoundly affected by the quantities of materials handled, and if taught in relation to very small portions may not be applicable to such quantities as are ordinarily used in home cookery. Much more attention is now paid to the cooking of complete meals and to the working-out of balanced dietaries, as opposed to cake, pie, and pudding making, which a few years ago were almost the only dishes undertaken. No doubt the insistence of the late Inspector of Home Science upon the study of food-values as a proper basis for the cookery schemes is bearing good fruit, and her influence is still strongly felt in such matters as the selection and preparation of suitable breakfasts, lunches, and teas for children of school age as a regular part of the curriculum ; the tasteful setting of the tables and the serving of the food and the care and proper cleanliness of equipment. Attention is more properly being laid on cookery as an art, though such reference to scientific principles as can easily be comprehended by the pupils is not neglected ; indeed, in some casesit is in danger of being overdone. Where, as in the case of some senior schools, the domestic science mistress takes not only the cookery, but also the home-science work in the school laboratory, the happiest results may be expected and are often realized. The equipment of the cookery-rooms in the manual training centres is generally fairly adequate, though the maintenance of such equipment is a somewhat difficult and expensive matter as the bulk of it grows older. The cleaning of these centres also offers some difficulty, and is a matter of anxiety to many of the instructresses. Technical Classes. During 1931 evening and part-time day technical classes were conducted in forty-three centres, the same number as in 1930. The total number of students in these classes was 10,536, of whom 5,316 held junior or senior free places and 5,220 paid fees. The numbers show a decline of 678 free and 615 paying students, a total of 1,293 as compared with the preceding year. Half of the fall in numbers is due to a reduction of 652 in the number of junior-free-place holders in evening classes, while the total reduction in numbers of students between the ages of fourteen and seventeen years is 974 — nearly three-quarters of the total drop —the number of pupils of these ages falling from 4,852 in 1930 to 3,878 in 1931. This fall in numbers of evening students may be ascribed partly to the return to day schools of pupils unable to find work, and partly to trade depression and the absence of young apprentices in many large trades, partly also to unemployment among the large class of boys and girls

who postpone the joining of evening classes until they have found permanent occupations, arid know with reasonable certainty what course they should take. Reference to Table E 1 shows that the only large increase of students as compared with the previous year was in the class marked " no occupation." As compared with the preceding year the proportion of part-time day and evening students over seventeen years of age had increased by about 4 per cent, of the total of all ages ; the actual numbers being 6,402 in 1931, and 6,711 in 1930. The number under fifteen years of age decreased from 1,171 in 1930 to 930 in 1931—i.e., from 9-9 per cent, of the total in 1930 to 8-8 per cent, of that in 1931. Of this number a considerable proportion were included in the 607 part-time day pupils. These part-time day pupils include a small proportion of adults and a considerable number of children of primaryschool age attending classes in drawing, woodwork, cookery, &c.

Technical High Schools. The enrolment at technical high schools and technical day schools of full-time pupils taking courses under the regulations for manual and technical instruction was 8,541 at the Ist July, 1931, as compared with 8,002 at the corresponding date in the previous year. The enrolment of 8,541 consisted of 4,760 boys and 3,781 girls. Of the boys, 2,518 took industrial courses, 454 agriculture, 880 commercial work, 730 a general course, and 178 an art course. Of the girls, 31 took the agricultural course, 1,256 the domestic course, 1,919 the commercial course, 257 the general course, and 318 the art course. Manual Tbaining. The total number of pupils receiving instruction in woodwork, metalwork, or domestic subjects under special instructors at manual-training centres was 45,774, as compared with 46,557 in 1930 and 45,493 in 1929. The numbers attending from primary schools were 17,444 for woodwork, 98 for metalwork, and 15,954 for domestic subjects. Secondary departments of district high schools sent 1,608 pupils for woodwork and 1,488 for domestic subjects. From Forms I, 11, and 111 of junior high schools there were 1,394 pupils for woodwork, 620 for metalwork, and 1,263 for domestic subjects. From- secondary schools 952 attended for woodwork, 428 for metalwork, and 700 for domestic subjects. Private schools sent 1,841 pupils for woodwork and 1,984 for domestic subjects. The standard of work in the manual-training centres is in some cases very high, and is very satisfactory in almost all centres. Instruction in elementary science, nature-study, and elementary agriculture, involving practical work in school-gardens and experimental plots was continued on the lines of previous years under the guidance and supervision of twenty-two itinerant instructors in agriculture. Agricultural clubs for crop-growing and calf-rearing were a prominent feature of juvenile work in agriculture in several districts in continuation of the work of previous years, and under the joint control of local associations of farmers, the Department of Agriculture and the agricultural instructors of the Education Boards concerned. The work has a very definite value in connection with the school courses, and forms a valuable link between the schools and the farming community. In some districts, including Otago and Taranaki, a similar development of club work for the girls in domestic arts was successfully undertaken ; competitions being arranged in jammaking, preserving, sewing, and cooking, with promising results. Examinations. At the August examinations for the handicraft teachers' certificate there were thirty-two candidates, of whom one passed the final examination for the certificate, sixteen passed in Section I of the examination, and one in Section 11, while ten were successful in improving their status by partial passes, three of these being included in the numbers successful in completing a section of the examination. Eight candidates failed to improve their position.

The following is a summary of the results of the Technological Examinations held in November, 1931 :— Cabinetmaking ; Intermediate —Six sat, five passed. Final: Five sat and five passed. Carpentry and Joinery: Preliminary —Eleven sat, six passed. Intermediate —Twentyfive sat, eight passed. Final—Six sat, two passed. Electrical Fitting : Intermediate—One sat, one passed. Final—Two sat, one passed. Electrical Wiring : Intermediate —One sat and failed. Final —One sat, one passed. Mechanical Engineering: Preliminary—Six sat, four passed. Intermediate —Eight sat, five passed. Final—Five sat and three passed. Motor Mechanics : Preliminary—Four sat, one passed. Intermediate —sixteen sat, eleven passed. Final—Seven sat, two passed. Plumbing: Preliminary —Eighteen sat, twelve passed. Intermediate —Sixteen sat, six passed. Final —One sat and failed. For the whole of the examinations, the results were as follows : Preliminary, 39 candidates sat and 23 passed ; intermediate, 73 candidates sat and 36 passed ; final, 27 candidates sat and 14 passed : the totals being, 143 sat for examination and 75 passed. These examinations are slowly gaining in popularity, but the numbers of entries are still very considerably less than should be expected in view of the number of students in the various courses in the technical schools. Staff Changes. Owing to the necessity for reduction in educational expenditure, the inspectorial service was reduced during the year to two Inspectors, Mr. F. C. Renyard, B.Sc., and Mr. G. V. Wild, B.Sc. (Ag.), 8.A., in addition to myself, and the technical branch suffered a severe loss through the retirement of the Inspector of Home Science, Miss M. Dyer, M.A., formerly of Girton College, Cambridge, and of Kings College, London. During her seven years of service as Inspector of Home Science Miss Dyer established high standards of work in all branches of the various courses in domestic arts and home science pursued in the different types of schools of the Dominion. Her influence with the individual teachers was strong and salutary. Her retirement on account of the urgent necessity for reducing the expenditure of administration was greatly regretted and the retention of her services was strongly urged by the teachers most concerned with the courses in domestic arts in both primary and post-primary schools, among whom her influence had steadily grown during her seven years of service. Another change in the staff of technical-school Inspectors was occasioned by the resignation of Mr. R. G. Ridling, who was appointed Principal of the Wellington Technical College, and took up his new duties at the beginning of the third term of 1931 in succession to Mr. J. H. Howell, who retired after some twelve years' service as Principal of the Wellington Technical School, and about the same period as Principal of the Christchurch Technical School. Mr. Ridling had served as Inspector of Technical Schools for nearly two years, and in that short time had done valuable work especially in connection with the teaching of agricultural subjects in post-primary schools, and the organization of the science and nature-study work of the primary schools. Mr. Ridling was succeeded by Mr. G. Y. Wild, recently lecturer in agriculture and nature-study at the Auckland Training College. I desire to express my deep appreciation of the loyalty and devotion to duty invariably displayed by the Inspectors of technical schools and the other officers concerned with technical instruction. The retirement of Mr. J. H. Howell from the principalship of the Wellington Technical School removes a notable figure from active participation in the administration of technical education in New Zealand. Both the Christchurch Technical School, which was established and developed by him during the years 1906-1918, and the Wellington Technical School over which he presided during the period of its establishment and development as a co-ordinated institution on its own site and in its own buildings on the Mount Cook Reserve, owe much to his able direction, keen vision, and utter devotion to the interests of the young people in his charge, and to the cause of the true and complete education of every individual in the State. On his retirement Mr. Howell carried with him the good wishes of all who knew him and his strenuous and successful work in the cause of education. It is with great regret that I record the death on the 31st August, 1931, of the late Lieut.-Colonel W. S. Austin, D.S.O. former Inspector of Schools, and for some twelve years Inspector of Manual and Technical Classes. Lieut.-Colonel Austin retired in 1930, after forty-four years of service, including four years and a half of war service during which he was four times wounded —the last time very seriously —rose to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel, and was awarded the D.S.O. and Croix de Guerre. He was an equally loyal and efficient officer in the Education Service of the Dominion —just, fair, and conscientious in the performance of his inspectorial duties. I have, &c., The Director of Education. W. S. LaTrobe, Superintendent of Technical Education.

14. REPORTS (EXTRACTS) OF EDUCATION BOARDS. AUCKLAND. (Chairman, Mr. A. Burns.) School Accommodation.- —The Board regrets that it was necessary, owing to lack of funds, to defer many necessary building works such as the erection of new school buildings to replace halls and other privately-owned buildings which, in many cases, are unsuitable for school purposes, and the enlargement of buildings which were overcrowded. The Board recognizes, however, that the Government has, with the limited funds at its disposal, met the most urgent requirements. The Board has been pleased to assist in carrying out building-works by making contributions from its Rebuilding Fund, but such assistance will be no longer possible as the available moneys in the fund are practically exhausted. Teachers' Residences. —The want of suitable accommodation for teachers in country districts, particularly in newly settled areas, continues to give the Board concern in the staffing of schools. It is realized, however, that the provision of actual school accommodation should take precedence of the erection of teachers' residences. Staffing oj Schools. —The staffing of schools has continued to show the marked improvement of recent years. Trained and certificated teachers have now replaced uncertificated teachers in all schools of Grade 1 and higher. The Board has been able to secure the services of trained and certificated teachers for many of the Grade 0 schools in back-block districts, which in the past have suffered considerably through the employment of inexperienced teachers. Married Women Teachers.—The Board renewed its representations that Education Boards be given discretionary power in the matter of the employment of married women teachers, and greatly appreciates that the necessary authority has now been given by Parliament. The Board has contended that it should have the right to refuse to employ married women teachers whose husbands are in a position to support them, especially when there is so much unemployment in the teaching profession. The interests of married women teachers, whose circumstances are such as to necessitate their employment, will receive every consideration by the Board. District High Schools. —The inspection reports and examination results show that the district high schools are maintaining their high standard of efficiency. The value of such schools in providing post-primary education for the children of country districts cannot be over-emphasized. The results attained compare very favourably with those of secondary schools in towns. The Board is now experiencing great difficulty in securing teachers qualified to give pupils tuition in commercial subjects. The Board is pleased to report that arrangements have now been made for several of the students of the training college to receive special training in commercial instruction. Junior High Schools. —The junior high schools at Kowhai, Matamata, and Northcote (including the secondary departments at Matamata and Northcote) have continued to give every satisfaction. A post-primary school has been opened at Otahuhu, which school provides tuition for pupils of Forms I and II from the Otahuhu Primary and Mangere East Schools. The new school has also relieved overcrowding in the Auckland secondary schools. Improvements at Schools. —Notwithstanding the fact that it has been necessary to withdraw the payment of subsidies owing to the financial stringency, many districts have raised by voluntary contributions funds for improvements at schools, which work could not otherwise have been carried out.

E,— 2.

The Unemployment Scheme No. 5 has been availed of by the Board and many Committees in the effecting of improvements to school properties. Under the scheme very extensive works have been carried out on the grounds of the Auckland Training College. General. —The Board recognizes the valuable services rendered by School Committees and teachers, who have taken the greatest interest in the schools under their jurisdiction and who have co-operated with the Board in every possible way for the welfare of the children. The Board is indebted to the Senior Inspector and his colleagues for their co-operation and advice on educational matters in this district.

TARANAKI. (Chairman, Mr. S. G. Smith.) During the year the Board was given limited discretionary powers in the appointment of married women teachers. This brought under consideration the positions of ten head teachers, nine sole teachers, and nineteen assistant mistresses. Careful inquiries are being made into the financial responsibilities of the teachers concerned, and their positions will be kept steadily in view with the object of carrying out the requirements of the Act. My Board realizes the difficulties with which your Department is placed in regard to finances, but emphasizes the necessity of the reduction of large classes as the first measure when the present financial difficulties become easier. Probationers. —The Board greatly regrets that owing to circumstances over which it had no control it was not possible to find positions as probationers for all those who were qualified. Of the fifty-six applications at the beginning of the year from young persons desiring to become teachers at least thirty were fully qualified, but only twenty-four appointments could be made. The reports on these twenty-four young people were highly satisfactory, and it caused the Board some concern when it was learned that five of these had to be eliminated. As a result of the disastrous earthquake which caused such devastation in the Hawke s Bay District, the building of the Central School, New Plymouth, was held up pending reports and recommendations from experts upon earthquake-proof buildings. Efficiency of Schools. —For some years headmasters have set their own examinations in most of the subjects for proficiency, and awarded marks on their own estimate of the efficiency of pupils, rather than upon a written test. .If the percentage of passes unwarrantably increases, a continuance of this system, without an occasional check, lays teachers open to the embarrassing charge that the standard required for a primary school is being lowered. School Committees. —There is again evidence of hearty co-operation between Committees and teachers, and many fine efforts have been made towards further improvements to the schools and surroundings. Many of the reports give a record of the social and athletic side of school life which my Board is glad to encourage. Committees, referring to the Education Commission, 1930, have asked that, before any steps are taken to centralize education in Wellington, they be given an opportunity to express their views on any pending proposals.

WANGANUI. (Acting-Chairman; Mr. E. F. Hemmtngway.) Efficiency of the Schools. —The annual report of the Inspectors shows that the estimated efficiency of the schools visited was as follows : Excellent, 1 ; very good, 19 ; good, 61 ; very fair, 83 ; fair, 30 ; weak, 4. A comparison of the foregoing figures with those for the previous year will show that the standard of efficiency of the schools has been well maintained. It is gratifying to note that the number of schools described as " very good " is now 19, as compared with 13 so classified at the end of 1930. Unemployed Teachers— At the end of the year the Department brought forward a scheme for the rationing of work amongst unemployed teachers. The scheme was adopted by the Board, and as a. result 53 of the 114 teachers unemployed at the beginning of the current year were placed in temporary positions for the duration of the first term. These will be replaced at the beginning of the second term by other teachers from the unemployed list, and by the end of the year all teachers without permanent positions will have had their share of the temporary work available. The Board feels that the Department is to be congratulated upon the formulation of a scheme, the adoption of which has enabled many voung teachers who would otherwise have suffered the discouragement of continued unemployment, to keep definitely in touch with teaching, and to make some progress in their profession. Health Camp. —In the Chairman's report for the year i 930 it was indicated that a site for a permanent health camp had been donated to the Board. This site, which comprises 20 acres, is situated at Castlecliff, and is within five miles of the City Post-office. The donor is Dr. A. 11. E. Wall, of Wanganui, and to him the Board extends its hearty gratitude for his generous gift. Earthquake Refugee Children.—As a result of the earthquake disaster which visited the Hawke s Bay District in February, it was necessary to provide school accommodation for the children belonging to refugee families who had assembled in Palmerston North. Temporary schools were established at the Awapuni Racecourse and Show-ground Refugee Camps, where the services of teachers from the Hawke's Bay District were utilized. The Board was also able to accommodate a number of the children at the schools in Palmerston North.

HAWKE'S BAY. (Chairman, Mr. G. A. Maddison.) The Earthquake. —The disastrous earthquake which affected a large area of the Hawke's BayDistrict on the 3rd of February, 1931, did serious damage to many school buildings. Fortunately, most of the children were at play, and the loss of life was therefore small. One child was killed by a falling chimney at Mahora (Hastings) School, and three children were killed in the collapse of the brick infant school at Greenmeadows. Considering the • extensive damage done to many schools, it is a matter of thankfulness that the loss of life was not greater.

Teaching-staffs.- —The sudden closing of so many schools threw many teachers out of work. The Government authorized the payment of all salaries until the 28th February. After that date payment was contingent on the teachers accepting any positions offered them. With the co-operation of other Education Boards in New Zealand, for which co-operation I especially desire to tender the Board's thanks, transfers of the greater number of the teachers were arranged to positions throughout the Dominion^ New School. —Early in 1932 a decision was arrived at to erect a separate intermediate school to provide for the instruction of Forms I and II only, and a grant for the buildings has been authorized. This school is to be erected on the site of the former technical school, a handsome new two-story brick building which was within two weeks of completion on the day of the earthquake, and which was so extensively damaged that it had to be demolished. Board's Offices. —The Board's offices (a brick building) withstood the earthquake well, but were completely gutted by fire, resulting in a heavy loss of records and material. . Immediately following the earthquake temporary offices were established in the old Napier Central Infant-school building at Clive Square. The loss of essential records was a severe one, and owing to the extraordinary conditions prevailing the work was carried on with the greatest difficulty. Nevertheless, with the assistance of the Department, it was possible to make immediate provision for all activities of an essential nature. The Department was especially helpful in the assistance given in re-establishing the most necessary records.

WELLINGTON. (Chairman, Mr. T. Foesyth.) The Board is pleased to record that in the estimate of the Inspectors there was in 1931 a perceptible increase of efficiency. The Inspectors report that their summary of the grouping of schools according to efficiency shows the following result: Excellent, 3; very good, 36; good to very good, 7 ; good, 85 ; very fair to good, 6 ; very fair, 74 ; fair to very fair, 4 ; fair, 18 ; weak, 3. It will thus be seen that the number of schools classed as good to excellent was 131, representing 55-5 per cent, of the whole, an improvement of 6-5 per cent, on the figures of the previous year. It is also pleasing to record that the number of schools classed as fair to weak has fallen from 29 to 21, and it is hoped that the teachers concerned will show a marked improvement in the work of the current year. The Board feels sure that the improving results each year serve to confirm the importance of efficient training as carried out in the four training colleges. Many of the schools which ranked from good to very good are in charge of young teachers, and the Board desires to congratulate them on the work that they have done. Most teachers are now keenly alive to the physical well-being of their pupils and spare no pains to assist them with their school sports and outside activities. In spite of a year of lessened finances, the output and quality of the work done in nature-study, agriculture, and science has been more than maintained. The work done during the past year has been charactized by particularly successful results, and a most encouraging advance made. Medical and Dental Service. —Notwithstanding the depression, these services have been fully maintained during the year, and the Board trusts that it will be possible to continue them. The dental services have been so much appreciated that it is fully expected that in each locality concerned sufficient funds will be forthcoming to meet the cost of the dental nurses.

NELSON. (Chairman, Hon. W. EL Mclntybe, M.L.C.) Buildings. —During the year the following programme of building-works was carried out: — New schools were erected at Bright-water (two rooms), Ikamatua (two rooms), Redwood's Valley (one room), Spring Grove (one room), Lower Takaka (five rooms), Tasman Street, Nelson (three rooms). Portable class-rooms were erected at Kotinga and Pahautane. Remodelling was carried out at Appleby, Bainham, Hampden Street (Nelson), Lyell, Millerton, Pigeon. Valley Schools and Wai-uta residence. An additional class-room was erected at Granity and a new sanitary block at Clifton Terrace. Shelter-sheds were erected at Motueka, Puramahoi, and Tutaki. A new dental clinic (two chairs) was erected at Westport; and the school at Little Wanganui was removed, remodelled, and erected on a new site. Extensive ground-improvement schemes were completed at Auckland Point, Nelson, Burnett's Eace, and Nelson Central. The rehabilitation of the primary school at Westport was finally completed, and the pupils again housed in their own building just prior to the end of the year. The Board continues to employ its own maintenance and painting staff with most gratifyingresults. During the year 29 schools, 3 residences, and the Board's offices were painted. Voluntary Contributions and Subsidies. —The withdrawal of subsidies on voluntary contributions rendered necessary owing to the economic position of the country naturally resulted in curtailing to a considerable extent schemes for ground improvements and similar works, but the Board is pleased to report that numbers of Committees continue to raise funds for the purpose of providing improvements to their schools and grounds.

E.—2.

CANTERBURY. (Chairman, Mr. G. W. Armitage.) Schools.—During the year a school was opened at Craigmore, while those at Longbeach, Spotswood, Waitohi Flat, Evans Creek, Ataahua, Gebbie's Valley, Motukarara, and Newland were closed, leaving 375 open at the end of the year. Consolidation. —Consolidation of schools was effected at Cheviot, Temuka, and Tai Tapu, in the last-mentioned case three schools being closed. The whole question of conveyance, which in Canterbury lias grown very extensively during the past few years, was given a thorough revision, and many services were cut out or curtailed to such an extent as to bring the cost within the region of the ordinary capitation rates payable for individual conveyance. This curtailment caused considerable hardship in many cases, particularly as the economic condition of the country people made it very difficult for them to contribute anything to the services as had hitherto been .the case. The growing demands on the Board's diminishing General Fund also accentuated the difficulty, and prevented any subsidies being paid to the services that were likely to be restricted or stopped altogether. General. —The year has been a difficult one in many respects, and while the Board has been sorry to see the curtailment or cessation of so many desirable services it has recognized that those responsible for the administration of the Dominion's finances have been compelled to effect- economies in all possible directions.

OTAGO. (Chairman, Mr. J. Wallace.) Probationers. —No probationers were appointed at the end of the year. Three reasons may be advanced for the Government's decision —economy, the present surplus of teachers, and the smaller percentage of wastage during the period of the depression. If, as appears probable, no probationers are appointed next year, very many young people preparing for the teaching profession will be faced with a serious position. Many with higher leaving certificates are already marking time. If some of the best of these could be selected and given two years' work as probationers at a small rate of salary, it would retain for the teaching profession good material which might otherwise drift into blind avenues ; £1,500 spent in this way might prove a very good investment for the country. Efficiency of Schools. —The Inspectors' estimate of the general efficiency of the schools is as follows : Very good to excellent, 18. per cent. ; good, 42 per cent. ; very fair, 34 per cent. ; fair, 5 per cent. ; weak, 1 per cent. Elementary Agriculture.—The Inspectors state that " Where the teacher is really interested, the gardens are very attractive." It would be too much to expect that every young teacher leaving the Training College should be an agricultural and gardening enthusiast, and it is just here that the agricultural instructors, with their specialized knowledge, and a measure of tactful encouragement, prove their usefulness by securing the co-operation of teachers in attaining and maintaining the desired standard of efficiency. In a country which must develop primarily along the lines of agricultural and pastoral industry, it is only right that agriculture and science should form an essential part of the general education of all pupils. Although agriculture and science are recognized as equal in educational value with other subjects of the school course, this recognition does not always find adequate expression in practice, and in the absence of the personal influence of a skilled instructor the standard of work, the Board believes, would inevitably suffer. School-grounds.—Ground-improvement on a subsidy basis is at a standstill, but many Committees are making judicious use of labour under the No. 5 Scheme. In every case the work has been in the nature of a permanent improvement, and in many instances its scope has been such that it could not otherwise have been faced for many years. In Dunedin and vicinity particularly effective work has been carried out at Anderson's Bay, Concord, Green Island, Mosgiei, North-east Harbour, Tainui, Wakari, and Walton ; while further afield Oamaru South, Palmerston, and Maheno may be mentioned. Special Schools and Classes. —It is unfortunate that there are always children coming forward to keep the rolls of these schools full. While very little can be done for some of the backward children, their lot in a more congenial atmosphere is made happier. A special class was opened in Oamaru at the beginning of the year. The School Medical Officer, reporting on the Sara Cohen Open-air School for physically defective children, states that all the children have made material health advancement, and that, despite the severe winter, the doors were completely closed on only two or three occasions ; while even on snowy days there were no complaints as to feeling the extreme cold. At the class for speech defects, children who appear to be incurable are being taught how to speak, and it is worthy of. note that some of these children, regarded as mentally defective, are found, on being provided with the outlet of speech, to be quite normal children.

SOUTHLAND. (Chairman, Mr. J. C. Thomson.) Schools. —The number of schools in actual operation at the beginning of 1931 was 185. Of these schools three were closed during the course of the year on account of reduced attendance —viz., Lora Station, Walter Peak, and Port Craig. As no new schools were established, the number at the end of the year was therefore 182. Attendance of Pupils. —The record made last year in respect of percentage of attendance has been broken, and a new record established with the percentage raised from 91 to the very high figure of 92-4. To attain to such an excellent percentage it goes without saying that the district did not suffer from any serious epidemic during the year. It goes to indicate also that the much-maligned climate of Southland is very far from deserving the unfavourable terms often applied to it by residents of other districts. Woodwork and Cookery. —Classes in these subjects were held regularly throughout the year at the Board's six .manual-training centres. The two centres in Invercargill were open continuously, Gore and Riverton for three days per week, and Winton and Wyndham for two days per week.

13. REPORTS (EXTRACTS) OP PRINCIPALS OF TRAINING COLLEGES.

AUCKLAND. Staff. —No changes have been made in the staff during the year, with the result that an excellent unbroken year's work has been done. Improvements to Grounds. —Within a week of the date of opening, the Education Board decided to take advantage of the unemployment relief Scheme for the development of the College grounds. Arrangements were made to send at first one hundred, and later four hundred men to undertake the immense and seemingly impossible task of levelling the great rocky areas, covered with heavy gorse and blackberry, which had hitherto been regarded as completely useless. Already the whole district has been beautified, and has gained an added dignity from the attractive park that surrounds the college, the neat walls, paths, and flower-beds, and the spacious playing-fields that extend almost from the college gates to the Normal School, a fine sight which should be a source of pride and satisfaction to the Board, the students, and the residents of Mount Eden and Epsom. On behalf of College I desire to thank all those who have assisted in this reclamation. College Baths. —On Bth May the College baths were officially opened by the Hon. Minister of Education, Mr. Atmore, and the Hon. Minister of Health, Mr. Stallworthy. The baths, tennis-courts, cricket and football grounds, and basketball courts round off the athletic facilities proper to such a college as ours. We can now on our own grounds carry out our varied outside activities with comfort, dignity, and success, and that too, without a heavy levy on the resources of the Students' Association. We believe that those who have invested their money in providing the College with adequate athletic facilities can confidently expect to draw their dividends from the schools served by the young men and women of our College. University Work.—During 1931 178 students took University work (men, 114 ; women, 64). Students have, in most cases, made very good use of their opportunities in connection with University work, only a few being required to refund fees in cases where attendance was unsatisfactory. While it would seem desirable that all men students should endeavour to secure a degree, a great advantage would be gained if some of the work done at the Training College could (subject to the University's acceptance of our standard) be allowed to count towards that degree. I would therefore recommend that some agreement might be made between the Department and the University whereby credit towards the Teacher's Degree may be granted for these courses.

These two schools are organized on parallel and " straight " systems respectively, thus providing variety in the training of all students. The parallel system established throughout the main Normal School last year has worked very satisfactorily, and has given valuable experience to students who will later be required to take over composite classes in town and country schools. Tliird-year Students. —During the year seventeen third-year students have specialized in various fields of work. Each group has worked under the direction of a College lecturer and has received adequate practice in general teaching in addition to specialist training. It is gratifying to note the effort being made by the Department and the Boards to have these students appointed to positions where their special gifts and training may be used. Headmasters frequently speak highly of work done by ex-third year specialists, but deplore the rigid organization and staffing that force them to keep a specialist with one class. College Activities.—Many extra-curricular activities of College are organized and carried through by the students with a very great degree of success, thereby contributing in a valuable way to the general training given to the students.

WELLINGTON. University Work.—The results indicate 87 per cent, of passes at the University as against 78 per cent, for the previous year. This result indicates a very high standard of attainment at the University classes taken by the College students. Observation and Teaching Practice. —The first-year students continued to attend regularly at the Kelburn Normal School for observational work. The weekly schemes of each standard were typed, and by careful study of these the student has become familiar with the details of the syllabus. In addition, each section of students was sent into the schools for definite teaching practice for a fortnight each term. The second-year students were sent out into the schools for a month each term. In the Thorndon Associated Normal School each class-room teacher received two students every time teaching practice was in progress. In the Wellington schools associated with us each class-room teacher received only one student each term. The graduate section was sent to the high schools for two periods of practice, and to the senior division of the primary schools for the third period. Experience in country-school procedure has been gained regularly at the country school-rooms organized at Thorndon., We would like to express our very great appreciation of the assistance given by the various headmasters whose schools have been used for teaching practice. Visits of Staff to the Schools. —During teaching-practice periods the members of the College staff visited the schools regularly to observe the students at work, to criticize the lessons given, to see that lecture work is closely correlated with practical school-work, and to help in every way to improve the teaching ability of the student. The reports of the staff, and of the various headmasters concerned, formed the basis of our estimate of the student's suitability for the work of teaching. Visits of Board Members. —During the year members of the Board visited the College each month, and discussed with the Principal many matters concerning the administration and organization of the College. It is our earnest wish that these visits be continued, for the essential basis of a good teaching spirit in the service is a well organized training college. Swimming and Life-saving. —In the annual report of the Wellington Royal Life-saving Society for 1930-31, the Teachers' Training College is credited with seventy-one awards, the highest number gained by any associated club. Although the record is a good one, it could be much improved if increased facilities were available in Wellington. Tepid baths are provided in most centres, but with the exception of" the Boy's Institute Baths in Tasman Street, no adequate arrangement exists to carry on this work in the colder months of the year. The College is unfortunate in that during the best swimming months of the year, it is closed for the vacation. Students' Association. —All the work connected with the social life of the Institution is carried out by the Executive of the Students' Association, and I desire most heartily to commend the work of the members of the Executive during the last year. They have worked most loyally in co-operation with the staff for maintaining a vigorous corporate life in the College. It has been usual for the students to organize an annual tournament with Auckland at the end of the second term. This year, at the instigation of Wellington, on account of the financial stringency, the tournament was abandoned. The money in hand for the purpose was donated to providing relief for necessitous children in the city. The students not only gave money, but also made garments out of raw material, and distributed these by means of personal investigation and through recognized relief agencies.

CHRISTCHURCH. The number enrolled at the beginning of the year was 283, one first-year female early in the year having been granted leave of absence with the right of entering again in 1932. Excluding those accepted for a third year of training the numbers of those leaving the College were 116 second-year students (Division A), 16 graduates (Division C), 2 B students and 14 thirdyear students specializing as follows : three in science, two in modern languages, one in music, three in drawing and handwork, one in teaching of deaf children, one in teaching backward children, two in commercial subjects, and one in experimental pedagogy.

E.—2.

Twelve second-year students were recommended and accepted for a third year of training during 1932—tw0 males and one female going to Dunedin Training College for physical education, and four males and five females remaining in our own College. The work of the third-year specialists was carefully organized so that each was enabled to have regular and steady practice in teaching the special subject for which the third year was granted. In addition, each third-year student was given two periods or approximately eight weeks of general training. Their keenness was most praiseworthy, and it is satisfactory to know that all the specialists in both drawing and music were placed in permanent positions at the end of the year. The College is indebted to the secondary schools, Technical College, Sumner School for the Deaf, and St. Margaret's Private College, for the opportunity given to third-year students, and students of Divisions B and C of gaining experience in general teaching and more particularly in teaching their special subjects. Special classes for students showing aptitude above the average were held continuously throughout the year for first- and second-year students in infant methods, folk-dancing, music, history, art and craft work, and speech-training. A class to study rural methods was also held for second-year students only, and attracted a very large number of students. At the end of the second term Mr. J. E. Purchase, M.A., severed his connection with the College after a long term of valuable service. He first joined the staff in 1915 as assistant headmaster of the Normal School, being appointed Principal in 1919, a position he occupied for twelve years. During his principalship the numbers of students increased rapidly from year to year, but the accommodation provided did not keep pace with this rapid growth. His untiring efforts towards suitable buildings eventually proved successful, and he had the satisfaction of seeing the new buildings completed before his retirement. The present prestige of the College is mainly due to his fine control and leadership. He earned the lasting respect and esteem of his staff and students, and his retirement was the cause of widespread regret. He carried into his retirement the best wishes of all with whom he was connected in the Training College.

DUNEDIN. University Glasses.—One hundred and eight students attended one or more classes at Otago University. Owing mainly to the economic depression and consequent departmental economies, a smaller proportion of students than usual attended University classes ; while of those that did attend an exceptionally high percentage took education, because students taking this subject received preferential treatment in respect to University fees. Generally speaking, it is unwise for our students to take education—a largely philosophical subject—during their first year. It is a much better plan for them to commence their University studies with subjects they have already had at high school, and to postpone Education until their second year. At the Otago University Terms Examinations our students were awarded 12 first-class, 48 secondclass,, and 140 third-class passes. These results are, on the whole, very creditable, the percentage of failures being just about half what it was last year. The improvement is particularly noticeable in French. In this subject not only were there no failures, but all passed on the year's work without being required to sit final terms, and one of our students came first in the Stage 111 class. New Zealand University Results.—College students and ex-students continue to figure largely among those gaining degrees and diplomas. The lists of Otago University successes for 1931 show that nine gained M.A., sixteen 8.A., two B.Sc., one the Diploma in Social Science, and four the Diploma in Education. College Staff. —For years past large numbers of young teachers were being trained with a view to reducing the size of classes and thus raising the standard of education. While the supply of trained teachers is now adequate for this object, funds are not available to remodel school buildings and provide the additional class-rooms that would be necessary. As a consequence, considerable numbers of unemployed teachers are to be found in most of the education districts. To remedy this unemployment and also as an economy measure fewer students are being admitted to the training colleges. Two members of our staff —Mr. Tucker and Mr. Laws —have accordingly been transferred to the Christchurch and Auckland Colleges on the staffs of which there happened to be vacancies. Mr. Anderson becomes Rector of the South Otago High School from Ist February next, and the appointment of his successor has been deferred in the meantime. Each of these lecturers was able to make a distinct contribution to the work of the College, and all will be greatly missed. Specialization.—During the year we had twenty-eight students specializing in various departments of school work. —Thirteen in physical education, four in music, four in drawing and handwork, three in modern languages, two in special school work (speech defectives, &c.), one in science, and one in experimental pedagogy. Nearly all worked very steadily, and fully justified their selection and the opportunities provided for further study and progress. In addition to this specialization, which was intended to occupy almost all of the students' time and attention, a milder form was arranged for first- and second-year students. These devoted one hour weekly throughout the year to some subject chosen by themselves. Thus in addition to the provisions of the ordinary time-table sixty students had extra tuition in music, thirty-five in physical instruction, forty-one in infant-room work, thirty-two in drawing, 15 in agriculture, ten in history, and fifteen in elocution. Those specializing in music constituted the College choir, which attracted very favourable notice by its performances.

E—2.

Nine students from this College have been selected to remain a third year in order to specialize in the study and teaching of some subject —three in physical education, three in modern languages, two in experimental pedagogy, and one in science. We are expecting our three in physical education to be supplemented by nine from the other centres, thus making a squad of twelve for physical education. A smaller group would hardly justify the appointment of the special instructors necessary for this branch of work. Teachers' Certificate Recommendations. —Of our 128 second-year, third-year, and post-graduate students ten have been recommended for a B certificate, over one hundred for a complete C certificate, and the remainder for a D certificate with progress towards C. More than half of these require only one subject to complete their C certificate. A considerable number of second-year students, who have been recommended only for a C certificate, will be entitled to promotion to B as soon as the results of the recent University examinations are known. Clubs. —The chief clubs are the Dramatic Club and the Saturday Night Club. Each of these has met regularly, about once a fortnight throughout the year. The Dramatic Club, under the direction and guidance of Miss McLeod and Mr. Fleming, worked in sections and studied a considerable number of plays, mostly modern one-act plays, each section in turn giving a finished reading to the members of the other sections or to the Saturday Night Club. At a public entertainment organized chiefly by Miss Brownlee two short plays were acted, both with a finish and success rarely found in performances by amateurs. The Saturday Night Club, under the presidency of Mr. Sutherland, did much useful work in arranging social functions that lasted for a few hours on Saturday nights when students are wont to relax after the week's work and the afternoon's sports competitions. The Debating Club, under the management of Mr. W. H. Blakie, was also a very active body during a considerable portion of the year. The debates were held on Friday evenings, and most of them were judged by Mr. Macfarlane and Mr. Tucker, who did much useful work in this connection. An Art Club for outdoor sketching, and a Handicraft Club also met occasionally on Saturdays during the third term when the winter sports competitions had come to an end.
