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, 1932 : C::'i\ i I J ' ■ ■ Inspectorate. The following changes in the Inspectorial Staff took place during the year :■ — Mr. G. E. Overton, 8.A., Inspector of Schools, Nelson, was promoted to the position of Senior Inspector of Schools, Nelson. Dr. J. W. Mclllraith, M.A., LL.B., was transferred from the position of Senior Inspector of Schools, Wellington, to a similar position in Auckland. Mr. E. Partridge, M.A., Inspector of Schools, Wanganui, was transferred to a similar position in Wellington. The staff at present consists of thirty-five Inspectors. Owing to pressure of time, it has been found necessary to restrict the inspection of the larger public schools to one visit a year instead of the traditional two ; at the same time, the demands of economy in travelling-expenses have necessitated the elimination of visits to Grade 0 schools, unless these are located in such a way in regard to larger schools as enables them to be visited without additional cost and with little expenditure of time. The inspection of private schools has had for reasons of economy to be confined only to those schools concerning whose efficiency there is reasonable doubt. Efficiency. On the whole, the general efficiency of the schools has been maintained. Among the subjects of the curriculum the greatest advance is seen in the more cultural subjects as music and the appreciation of literature. In physical education the results are very promising wherever a specialist or a recent ex-trainee in this subject is on the staff. In these subjects the training colleges are doing excellent work. In art work, however, the improvement is not so noticeable. Many head teachers find a difficulty in making the presence of a specialist teacher felt beyond the immediate precincts of his own class. This difficulty will, of course, rapidly disappear with every increase in the supply of specialists. When supernumeraries, in the form of probationers, are again available, these specialists will be freer to operate over a greater part of the school. It may be stated here that the Boards generally are appointing specialists to the staff whenever a request therefor is made by the head teacher. Reading, in the broadest sense of the term, is probably improving. Attention is being focused on developing in pupils the appreciation of good literature, the emotional and sesthetic aspect of the subject, apart from the more purely intellectual, receiving consideration. There is here much scope for effective teaching. Owing to the more exacting demands that have been made, spelling has improved. Teachers are being asked to give more attention to the spelling of proper names in such subjects as history, geography, and science. Writing can be regarded as quite satisfactory, though printing, which is used on occasions in all classes, and which is in common use in the retail business community, might well reach a higher standard of artistry. Art is in a very fair state, and teaching practice is gradually departing from the uninspiring traditional methods. In no other subject do the capacities of teachers seem to vary so much ; in too few cases is the artistry, latent in most pupils, revealed to them. The steady stream of teachers from the training colleges with their expert instructors should, however, gradually increase the efficiency of the schools. Handwork has made very satisfactory progress. The absence of the usual supplies from the education grant has revealed the fact there there is a great reservoir of natural and waste material that can be turned to excellent account in manual instruction. Instruction in many directions is thus actually more varied than was previously the case. Arithmetic, geography, and history fully maintain their previous level. In history much importance is attached to the development of New Zealand ; in some schools it is perhaps given undue prominence in comparison with that of the rest of the Empire. • During the year an investigation was made into the teaching of science in the primary schools. The results showed much thoughtful work, but in many cases a failure to realize that the object of science in the curriculum was not so much the acquisition of certain scientific facts as the development of the scientific attitude of mind that impels man to ceaseless research into the secrets of his natural environment. In future, emphasis will be placed more on the spontaneous activity of the pupil, while the application in daily life of all facts discovered by or revealed to the pupil will be a matter of primary importance. On the whole, much good work has been done ; in one or two districts the level of attainment has been higher than that in other subjects. In all districts an attempt is made to relate the instruction to the needs of the rural population ; farmers in many districts have shown keen interest in the work, and have made liberal donations for general or specific purposes. Such school associations as home gardens and root and calf clubs continue to flourish. Experiments conducted in school plots have, in many cases, been of direct financial value to the community, but these are of even greater value in developing that aspect of mind which sees that Nature can be subdued to the interests of mankind only by increasing knowledge of her laws. Even to those who will not

ultimately settle on the land such training is well worth while, for in a country like New Zealand no trade or profession exists that does not come into close contact with those whose life is spent in rural occupations. An understanding of the farming industry, its advantages, and its difficulties, and of the farmer's point of view, is very necessary for all. Physical Education. The new system of physical education introduced a few years ago makes steady, though somewhat slow, progress, except in schools where specialist instructors or students just recently from the training colleges are available. The system is an excellent one, but it is probably rather more difficult for the teacher to grasp than the preceding course. Where qualified staffs are available the system produces most pleasing physical effects, and is at the same time very popular with the pupils. While the only available instructors are attached to the training colleges, it is not possible to do very much to promote the system in rural centres, but wherever possible these instructors have paid short visits to country districts and have also formed classes of teachers in the training-college centre. The very successful refresher courses at the Auckland Training College provided an excellent opportunity for some hundreds of teachers to acquire at least the spirit and the elements of the new course. Brief courses in outlying districts will be conducted from time to time as circumstances permit. Instruction in swimming and life-saving has made excellent progress ; the modern girl is not a whit less enthusiastic than the modern boy. Proficiency Examination. The system adopted in the previous year of requiring all candidates to sit for the Proficiency Examination was continued last year ; the advice of the teachers was sought in each case, but no candidate was accredited with a pass on this advice only. The results showed a return to the normal standard, the average percentage of proficiency passes being 79-5 in public schools and 81-1 in private schools. It is satisfactory to note that the efficiency of the instruction shows no decline. The increasing percentage in the private schools may be ascribed to two causes—an increase in the efficiency of the instruction, and, probably, a greater degree of caution exercised in the promotion of pupils to senior classes. For some years past it has been the policy of the public schools to give those older pupils that have spent a year in Form I (S5) the opportunity of showing what they can do in Form II (S6), the instruction in all subjects except arithmetic being of a very similar nature. District High Schools. The district high schools scattered throughout the Dominion continue to function efficiently. The reluctance, once observable, of well-qualified teachers to take service in the secondary departments of these schools has now largely, though by no means entirely, disappeared. This reluctance was due to the not wholly unfounded fear that these secondary assistants, once they entered these departments, would find themselves unable to re-enter the primary service and equally unable to get promotion into the older-established secondary schools. Now that these departments are visited regularly by the Primary Inspectors and occasionally, but regularly, by the Secondary Inspectors, this fear is disappearing. It is very essential that these rural secondary departments should attract teachers well qualified academically and at the same time of proved teaching efficiency. Now in increasing degree we see success in examination subjects, and what is perhaps even more pleasing, success in those subjects not tested by public examination —e.g., art, music, appreciation of literature, and handicrafts—but yet of supreme importance in fashioning the complete human being. More and more these schools are spreading in rural districts the culture that formerly was the privilege of the cities only. They afford to the" rural youth a splendid opportunity of sound physical development and close intellectual and moral supervision at one of the most impressionable and difficult periods in adolescent life. Further schemes are now in train to make the courses of instruction more closely adaptable to the needs of the district and the natural capacities of individual pupils. Special Classes. These classes, composed of children who are of a mentality too low to profit by education in an ordinary school class, and yet not so low as to be altogether ineducable, continue to function with enthusiasm, sympathy, and success. The aim of the classes is to develop a healthy body, and by means of special physical exercises and manual occupations, an adaptable mind. When to this is added some facility in reading and in the writing of letters, and in money calculations, the young persons should be able to fit into the society of their fellows much better than if they have been suffered to remain discouraged and defeated at the lower end of the school. It is very desirable that these classes be conducted in the same grounds as those for normal children in order to provide that stimulating recreational and social environment so essential to a complete education. In a few cases this has unfortunately not been found possible. An investigation recently made showed that a very much higher percentage of backward children who had passed through these classes was m or part time employment than was the case with similar children who had not had the benefit of specialclass training. In Wellington and Auckland after-care associations have been formed to deal with such pupils after their school course is over and with those other unfortunate children whose

3

E,— 2

mentality is too low for even special-class treatment. These associations are conducted entirely by voluntary workers. Classes in lip-reading for the partially deaf, and classes for those with speech defects, continue to give useful service. In the latter case,pupils are encouraged to enrol in certain schools only, and a specialist in speech defects attends these schools for a certain number of hours each week. During the remainder of each day the pupil proceeds with his ordinary class-work. In some of the more important centres classes for physically undeveloped children have been established. The pupils are selected by the School Medical Officers, who also determine how long these pupils should remain in the classes. Teachers are appointed thereto by the Education Boards, but, in most other respects, the classes are organized by volunteer workers and maintained by voluntary donations. Such schools render very valuable assistance to the community. Problems of the Profession. During the year discussion on professional matters was continued in all centres, the Inspectorate and Teaching Staffs co-operating in the common effort. The economic depression has, for various reasons, caused a quickening of educational thought and a corresponding desire to render the education system as efficient as possible. A striking proof of this was seen when six hundred teachers at their own expense spent a week of the May vacation at a refresher course organized by the Auckland Training College and Inspectorate. Where time and circumstances were favourable addresses to teachers were given at various centres. In some of these special concentration for the year on selected subjects was agreed upon, and exhibitions of school-work were held ; and some teachers located in isolated districts received samples of work and forwarded their own work for assessment. Environment. The appearance of school-grounds is steadily improving, and the bare areas once so familiar are almost entirely things of the past. Not only are Education Boards and School Committees taking advantage of Scheme No. 5 to effect the absolute transformation of many relatively useless sites, but staff and pupils and agricultural instructors are co-operating in an increasing degree to add to the charm of the grounds. Within the schoolroom itself there is found a keener appreciation of the value of an artistic environment. Many infant departments are, in this respect, particularly bright and appealing. The silent influence of this improving environment is permeating life at many points. There is much greater respect for public property, thus enabling public authorities and business people to carry out beautifying schemes without fear of premature destruction ; there is, too, an almost entire absence of that disfigurement of school buildings and offices that was so common and almost inevitable a generation ago. It may be said that the schools are preparing the country for a solid advance along the long of deliberately planning for a beautiful countryside, one more in keeping with the great possibilities it offers in this direction. Exchange of Teachers. During the year seven exchanges of teachers were made —six with England and one with South Africa. The usual exchanges were not effected with Canada, but similar negotiations with that country are proceeding favourably. I have, &c., N. T. Lambourne, The Director of Education, Wellington.

2. REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to present the report for the year 1932. As in the previous years, the field activities of the Inspectors have been considerably restricted by the calls made upon them to assist in administrative work during the still-existent shortage among the higher headquarters staff. This has particularly been the case with Mr. Caradus and myself. The programme of inspection accomplished, however, compares favourably with those of previous years. In the earlier part of the year sixteen secondary or combined schools and nineteen registered private secondary schools were fully inspected, as were also the secondary departments of twenty-three district high schools ; in addition, four of the smaller technical schools (Ashburton, Greymouth, Timaru, and Westport) were visited and reports on them submitted to the Superintendent of Technical Education. Later in the year all the departmental secondary and combined schools were visited in connection with the annual classification of teachers and the award of higher leaving certificates. The past year has witnessed the formal institution of four more " combined " schools. Nelson College, Nelson Girls' College, and the Boys' and Girls' High Schools at New Plymouth were at the beginning of the year brought under the new regulations referred to in my last report, and there are now six institutions classified as combined schools—that is, schools which provide instruction in all the courses and subjects hitherto taught either separately or in duplicate in the secondary and technical schools previously existing in the locality. The new type of school has many praiseworthy features and on the whole is functioning well. Some of the more apparent disadvantages are due to the comparative remoteness of two of the boys' schools from the centre of the towns in which they are situated and also to the lack of suitable buildings and equipment for manual work near the main school buildings, The latter difficulty will, of course, ultimately be overcome and is already being overcome at Napier. The number of departmental secondary schools has remained at forty-four, including the six combined schools referred to above. On the Ist March the aggregate roll for all these schools was 17,601, as compared with 17,070 and 17,127 in 1931 and 1930 respectively. The roll numbers at the close of the year offer, however, a more reliable basis of comparison, as these were not so adversely affected by the results of the earthquake in 1931 ; for the successive years 1930, 1931, and 1932 the December rolls have been 15,552, 15,876, and 15,421 respectively. It is evident that so long as the effects of the present financial depression and of the low birth-rate of the later war years are felt no great expansion of the secondary school enrolment can reasonably be expected. Indeed, the prospects for 1933 have been far from reassuring, and it is evident that not a few teachers must lose their positions during the year. As in the previous year, some of the schools have been able to maintain their rolls only by the'retention for a longer period than normal of pupils who were unable to obtain employment; but for this the diminution in the number of new entrants would have undoubtedly caused the schools to fall appreciably in grade. The number of new pupils commencing secondary-school education fell away from 6,134 in 1930 to 5,626 in 1931, and still further to 5,229 last year. _ The paucity of entrants in 1932 was in some districts a result of the reduced percentage of passes in the Proficiency Examination, but the chief contributing factor has undoubtedly been the financial stringency. The effects of this have been especially noticeable in schools drawing pupils from country districts. The numbers of pupils boarding in school hostels fell from 1,690 in 1930 to 1,390 in 1931, and again to 1,022 in 1932, a fall of approximately 40 per cent, in two years. During the year the Diocesan Girls' School, Hamilton, the Palmerston North Convent, and St. Mary's Convent, Westport, were added to the list of registered private secondary schools ; these now number fifty-two, with an aggregate roll (on the Ist July) of 3,832 (1,707 boys and 2,125 girls). The number of appeals lodged by secondary-school teachers against their classification was only two, the lowest on record. Both appeals were disallowed by the Appeal Board. 'For several years prior to this last it had been the practice to award senior free places in postprimary schools by a system of accrediting which varied considerably in its approach to a complete accrediting in the different types of schools —secondary, district high, or technical schools. In the secondary schools the Inspectors had been accustomed, after investigation of the general standard of the work in the second-year forms in each school, to accept as fit for further secondary education the majority, and in a few cases all, of the candidates recommended by the Principals ; the remaining candidates were required to sit the Intermediate Examination in November, and a pass in this entitled the candidate to a senior free place. The proportion of candidates accredited by the Inspectors naturally varied from school to school, but as a rule it ranged between 63 and 75 per cent, of the total number of candidates offering. It may be added that as a rule not more than 10 to 15 per cent, of the non-accredited candidates sitting the Intermediate Examination ever succeeded in passing it. This was not at all surprising, as practically all of these pupils had been regarded by the Inspectors as not fit to proceed with senior courses. Early in 1932 it was decided that the accrediting system should be suspended and that all applicants for senior free places in all types of post-primary schools should be required to sit the Intermediate Examination in November. The recommendations of the Principals of schools, based upon the school records and examinations, were not, however, to be entirely disregarded, and were to be considered in conjunction with the results of the examination. The examination was modified in two important ways. First, the number of compulsory subjects was reduced to three and passes in English and arithmetic were no longer required ; second, a large number of " practical "or manual subjects—e.g., typewriting, woodwork practice, metalwork practice, cookery, and craftwork—were added to enable pupils following vocational courses to demonstrate their proficiency in their chosen manual arts. Candidates from departmental schools were examined in their own schools under the supervision of members of the teaching staffs. In all schools where there were at least twenty candidates in a subject the marking of papers in that subject was entrusted to the staff of the school. All other papers were marked by external examiners. On the whole, the marking by the teachers was carried out carefully

5

E.—2.

and impartially ; the few exceptions were brought before the notice of the Principals of the schools concerned. As the standards adopted by the teachers naturally varied from school to school a system of check examining (chiefly by departmental officers) was employed in order to correlate the standards of the various teacher examiners and also those of the external examiners. The process of checking and correlating entailed a large amount of labour, and the publication of the results was naturally somewhat delayed. It is pleasing to note that several secondary schools have voluntarily expressed the opinion that, though they would not welcome a recurrence of such a burdensome examination, much valuable information regarding the standard of certain subjects in their schools has been obtained. Several unsolicited expressions of admiration of the thoroughness of the departmental organization of the examination have also been received. After the results were published information was supplied to all departmental schools regarding the standards attained (the median mark) by their pupils in subjects in which at least twenty candidates sat. This innovation has also met with approval. From secondary and combined schools entries were made by 4,956 candidates ; those who actually sat the examination numbered 4,500, and of these 3,375 passed. Senior free places were also awarded to an additional 105 candidates, who, though failing to pass the examination, obtained tolerably good marks and had previously been recommended by their Principals on the basis of internal examinations and other school records. Owing to the financial stringency, it was decided early in 1932 to abandon the practice hitherto followed of awarding University Bursaries to all holders of the higher leaving certificates issued by the Department. In place of the University Bursaries a system of University National Bursaries has been established ; these are of the same value and are held under the same conditions as the former bursaries, but are awarded only on the results of the University Entrance Scholarship Examination in either a full or a partial range of subjects. The new procedure was announced somewhat late in the year, and the number of candidates was accordingly comparatively small. Of the 182 candidates who qualified by passing the examination only 135 applied for bursaries and accepted them. It is possible that a fair proportion of the remainder have decided to remain at school for another year and to compete for either a scholarship or a bursary at the next examination, but the applications have nevertheless been much fewer than was expected. It may be noted that at the beginning of 1932, the last occasion under the former system of award, as many as 512 new bursaries were granted to students entering the University colleges. Although the higher leaving certificate no longer entitles the holder to a University Bursary and does not assist him, as formerly, to obtain a post as a probationer in the primary schools, the number of applicants for the certificate has not appreciably diminished, and during the year 952 pupils from departmental secondary and 150 from endowed and registered private secondary schools were awarded certificates by the system of accrediting that has been followed for many years past. Lower leaving certificates, also awarded by accrediting, were awarded to four pupils from private secondary schools and to a similar number from the schools conducted by the Department. Although the Department was able to announce comparatively early in the year that a new School Certificate Examination, of a standard equivalent to that of the University Entrance Examination, but with a wider range of subjects, would possibly be held at the close of the year, it was regretfully realized later that the holding of the compulsory Intermediate Examination for over nine thousand candidates would preclude the possibility of the establishment of a new examination at that stage without increasing the Departmental staff, an altogether inadvisable procedure in a period of enforced economies. The principle of a school leaving certificate has in the meantime been accepted as a natural step forward, but it is obvious that care must be exercised to inaugurate the system with such precautions as will ensure that the certificate shall receive proper recognition from the public and from employers in the business community especially. It would be well not to hold the examination at too short a notice only to find that a handful of candidates had presented themselves. The success attending the launching of the school-certificate system will depend in no small measure upon the amount of earnest propaganda that secondary-school teachers are prepared to devote to the enlightenment of parents, employers, and the public generally regarding the intrinsic worth of the certificate as a measure or criterion of general scholastic attainment. The district high schools visited during the year were those of the Nelson, Wellington, Hawke's Bay, and Wanganui Education Districts. On the whole, a general improvement in the standard of teaching is noticeable, due in part to the increasing supply of young graduate teachers who have had some training in secondary methods during their training-college course. The tendency to concentrate too much on the examination syllabus and to exclude subjects with a cultural value only is still in evidence ih some schools. The Department's curtailment of the employment of part-time teachers has resulted in the disappearance of the commercial subjects from the curricula of most of the district high schools ; in a few cases, however, a member of the regular staff is able to teach a little bookkeeping. The past year has witnessed a further advance in the process of securing closer co-operation between the different branches of the Inspectorate. Where time can be found for the purpose the specialist Inspectors of technical schools visit some of the secondary schools and report upon the teaching of the more " practical " subjects, and similarly the secondary Inspectors visit some of the technical schools and report upon the courses which are more or less of a secondary-school character. In both cases the reports are made to the senior departmental officer of the other branch and not directly to the Boards of the schools concerned. So far as the scheme has been operated it shows distinct promise of utility to both groups of Inspectors and there appears to be every justification for the belief that a still greater measure of co-operation will be possible in the near future. In conclusion, I have again to thank my colleagues for their loyal co-operation and to place on record my appreciation of their zeal and their devotion to duty. 1 have, &cJ E. J. Pake, The Director of Education, Wellington. Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools.

3. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Sib, — I have the honour to present my report for the year 1932. General. The year 1932 marks a reduction in the rate of growth of the technical schools of the Dominion, due probably entirely to the economic and industrial depression. There was a distinct fall in the enrolments at evening classes, and this was by no means balanced by the increase in day numbers. A decline in both day and evening enrolments was experienced in the industrial courses in some schools. In the building trades courses especially the numbers showed a remarkable shrinkage, due no doubt to the stagnant state of the building trades in the Dominion, and the large reduction in the numbers of apprentices, there being few openings for new apprentices. Besides this check in the normal growth of the schools, in itself a serious handicap to institutions which have been growing in size at approximately the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, the schools have been further severely restricted by the reduction in grants for equipment and incidental expenses, and the curtailment of grants for buildings, the general lack of contributions from local bodies, and the difficulty of raising funds for social and recreative purposes either by subscriptions from pupils or by means of entertainments, sales of work, and the like. The Technical School Boards and their staffs have, however, loyally responded to the call for selfdenial and economy, and have made every effort to maintain the efficiency of the teaching in spite of the lack of material resources. The staffs in particular have spared no pains, and have in many cases given their services freely in their own time in order to further the efforts of local organizations to provide suitable training and healthful occupation for boys and girls unable to secure employment. The problem of juvenile unemployment, especially of boys and girls over sixteen years of age, of reasonably good education, has become so acute that its national importance has been recognized by the Government, and a special investigation undertaken by two members of Parliament. It is gratifying to note that these investigators report that " abundant evidence has been produced which shows that technical training in New Zealand is of a very high order." The present depression and the consequent increase of juvenile unemployment, especially the serious shrinkage in the numbers of apprentices in all trades, a decrease of 30 per cent, in three years, have brought into sudden prominence radical changes in the nature of the problem of the education of boys and girls for industrial and commercial work, which have been quietly taking place for more than fifty years, not certainly unnoticed, but not generally recognized hitherto as requiring urgent consideration. The tendency of old institutions to persist after they have ceased to function effectively is well illustrated in the apprenticeship system, which has been for many years weakened by the general mechanization of industry, and undermined by the development of compulsory school education and the gradual raising of the compulsory school age. Both these agencies may be expected to continue their work, so that the time must come when apprenticeship as at present understood will disappear altogether in nearly all, if not in all, industries. The effect, even now quite considerable, will be to transfer the training of the young person from the employer to the State or privately supported school. In the past such a transfer was impossible, since no school could provide the type of training which, through a long apprenticeship from tender infancy to adult manhood, in all the branches of a comprehensive trade, produced the craftsmen of the old guilds. Mechanized industries do not require such craftsmen, but need rather a general adaptability and handiness which it is quite possible to develop satisfactorily in the school. In commercial, agricultural, and domestic pursuits a similar tendency towards simplification of operations and reliance on machines and science involves similar modifications of the training of the young worker. With the rapid development of new industries and the revolutionizing or decay of old ones, occupations continually change, disappear, and are created, so that the worker must be prepared at any time to learn a new job or join the ranks of the unemployed. Thus adaptability and general usefulness of hand and brain are fast becoming the most marketable assets of the wage-earner. Ordinary apprenticeship is not specially designed to develop these qualities, particularly in trades subdivided into highly specialized sections, while the machine-tender is very unlikely to acquire them in the performance of his ordinary duties. On the other hand, the schools, which cannot hope to give specialize'd training for the great majority of occupations, may readily be organized to give a general training of hand and brain that will enable youth to adapt itself easily to the needs of highly specialized jobs. The general mechanization of industry by thus making it possible and necessary for youth to receive most of its training in the school has opened the way . for education in the widest sense to become not the by-product of infant labour or apprenticeship to a trade, but the whole business of the years of childhood and adolescence. The increasing hours of leisure, and the growth of the democratic spirit in civic, national, and international affairs, require that the young should have careful preparation not only for earning a living, but also for properly discharging their civic and social duties, and for the responsibility of making the best use of their leisure time,

Without having by its derivation, history, and traditions either the constitution or the experience for performing its new duties satisfactorily, the school has had forced upon it an open field, a universal application, and this triple responsibility. Naturally conservative, and little affected directly by the revolutionary changes which the machine has brought in its train, the school is now suddenly confronted with all that these changes involve in revolutionizing its own functions and its relationship with the multifarious occupations of adult years. Prom being detached and dealing with ideal rather than with real conditions it finds itself thrown into violent contact with actual conditions in all kinds of occupations, and asked to bring order out of the chaos produced by the falling ruins of apprenticeship and professional pupilage. Hitherto the demands on the schools have not been very heavy as regards training for occupations, although the growth of the technical schools, especially of the technical high schools, the broadening of the syllabuses of primary and secondary schools, and the development of professional courses in the Universities all show that educational institutions are beginning to realize their new duties. The immediate problem, due to the present depression and the consequent increase of juvenile unemployment, and in particular the absence of openings for boys and girls in trades in which at present a long apprenticeship is required, is to seek some means by which the evil effects of unemployment may be mitigated and the young people prepared to take full advantage of their opportunities when conditions become more normal. It has long been urged by technical school Principals that provision should be made for counting full-time attendance in appropriate courses at technical schools as equivalent, at least in part, to time actually served in apprenticeship; and that part-time attendance at school in working-hours should be compulsory for apprentices and other trade-learners. In view of the changing needs in industry and of the present conditions of employment, recognition of school courses for apprenticeship service would appear to be well justified. A further argument in favour of such a course is to be found in the opportunities which such an arrangement would give to the schools for extending their present practice in vocational guidance, and so eliminating as far as possible the employment of misfits in the several trades. In this connection the proposals made by Dr. Beeby, of Canterbury College, in his twin-probationer scheme given in detail in Appendix I to the report on juvenile unemployment prepared by Messrs. S. G. Smith, M.P., New Plymouth, and A. E. Ansell, M.P., Chalmers, set out fully the methods and aims of a scheme devised to solve simultaneously the present problems of unemployment, vocational guidance, and trade training of young people. Similar reasons to those which have hitherto prevented the recognition of technical-school training as apprenticeship service would no doubt operate against the general compulsory adoption at the present time of the proposals put forward by Dr. Beeby, but the urgent necessity of saving our young people from the evils of unemployment and ineffective training must be admitted, and it is in the interests of all concerned that an effective solution of the present difficulties should be found, even though it may not be wholly acceptable to all parties. It appears to be certain that the problem can only be solved satisfactorily by a much closer co-operation than at present exists between the schools on the one hand and commerce and industry on the other, and a much clearer appreciation of their respective functions in the training of the young for modern conditions. Vocational Guidance. Intimately connected with the question of courses for pupils in post-primary schools and the correlation of school with trade training is the problem of vocational guidance. Vocational guidance has been defined as " the process of assisting the individual, to choose an occupation, prepare for it, and progress in it." This involves giving assistance to the individual " to enable him to obtain experiences, information, and counsel which will best aid him in choosing, preparing for, entering on, and progressing in a recognized occupational livelihood." This view of the meaning and aims of vocational guidance has been very generally accepted, but it must be noted that it presumes a more or less static condition of industry and of occupations which does not in fact exist even in this Dominion, still less in the great manufacturing centres of the world. As Mr. R. B. Cunliffe, of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J., has recently (Pebruary, 1933) remarked, "it assumes the existence of clear-cut and well-defined occupational distinctions, characteristic abilities required for success in each occupation, scientific descriptions of the occupations in terms of these abilities, and freedom for the individual in choosing the occupation. The first assumption may at one time have been justified, but never the others, and none of them to-day." It is therefore not surprising to find Mr. C. R. Prosser, Director of the William Hood Dunwoody Industrial Institute, Minneapolis stating (November, 1932) in the Vocational Guidance Magazine, published by the Harvard University Bureau of Vocational Guidance, that " There does not exist to-day, so far as I know, any tangible proof that two decades of vocational guidance have improved the selection of occupations made by our youth on leaving school." In truth it cannot be said that much progress has been made so far in the direction of replacing more or less haphazard methods of determining the particular aptitudes and qualities required in various occupations, and the boys and girls possessing these aptitudes and qualities in the required degree by a satisfactory scientific technique in which personal errors would be negligible factors in the result. In a world of changing occupations a career cannot in general be chosen, " it is dynamic, not static, it is lived and built through the continuous selection of courses of action, necessary in effecting satisfactory adjustment,"

8

E.—2

Effective vocational guidance must, therefore, aim at so preparing the individual that he may be able to make wise decisions and learn how best to adjust himself to changing conditions, and to recognize and take advantage of opportunities as they arise for bettering himself and giving better service to the community. The victories of applied science leave the battlefield .of industry strewn with victims whose occupations are gone and who must be re-educated for new jobs just as were the soldiers maimed in the Great War. Accompanying sucli changes in specialized occupations is the drift of population between the great groups of occupations. This is one of the most significant results of the mechanization of industries, the tendency being towards a reduction in the percentages of the total active body of workers engaged in primary production and manufacture, and an increase in the percentages engaged in distribution and personal services, Another marked feature is the development of large corporations bringing about an increase m the proportion of wage or salarv earners, and a decrease in the numbers of those who are working on their own account. Vocational guidance, to be fully effective, must take account of all these factors, and must also be able to foresee the general trend of conditions so far as they may affect the prospects of each individual. Means must also be provided for helping the worker at every stage in his life where he finds himself thrown permanently out of one occupation and is compelled to look for a new kind of job. In changing economic conditions the problem of vocational guidance is therefore one of extraordinary difficulty. It is perhaps true, that, given time and the necessary finance, a reliable assessment of the abilities and qualities of the individual can be made ; but it is hopeless to expect that the specific needs of all the thousands of occupations (some 25,000 occupational designations are listed in the 1930 census of the United States of America) changing with bewildering rapidity, can be scientifically studied and accurately assessed; and even if this were possible the problem of placement, of putting the round peg in the round hole, would still remain to be solved. The problem of vocational guidance and placement cannot be solved by general formulae. Each case must be taken separately on its own merits and in its own environment. Each case must also be regarded as a recurrent problem, requiring periodical adjustment to changing conditions. In present circumstances the individual himself must make these adjustments or be thrown into the " pool of unemployment." Practical measures for helping him would appear to include, first, training him in childhood and adolescence for the greatest possible handiness and adaptability , secondly, providing him with a sound knowledge of his own powers and limitations of intellect, character, and physical constitution ; and, thirdly, providing him with opportunities for retraining and continuing his education in adult years. The first of these is possible in a good modern school with comprehensive courses. The second, in so far as it is a matter of scientific measurement, requires the facilities of a good psychological laboratory which are only available to a limited extent at present. The third measure of providing (opportunities for assisting in retraining, and for adult education, is a matter of part-time day and evening classes in properly equipped institutions. For this work the technical and combined schools and colleges are equipped and staffed, and it is of the greatest importance that they should endeavour to knit school and industry together in the training and retraining of workers young and old. Where school and industry are closely connected in this way it will be possible to give effective assistance to the individual in adjusting himself to changing conditions of employment Although it cannot be said that much progress has been made hitherto in this Dominion towards the solution of the difficult problems of vocational guidance and placement, very useful work has been accomplished by specially trained teachers in certain of the technical schools, particularly in Christchurch, Dunedin, and 'Wellington. This work has been of very great value in present conditions of unemployment, since these teachers have linked themselves up with special committees supported by Chambers of Commerce, the Young Men's Christian Association, and other local organizations for the placement of unemployed juveniles, and have thus been able to render good service to pupils from all the schools. The Technical High Schools. No fundamental changes in curricula or methods of instruction have operated during the year under review, but it is possible to discern in many directions a striving to direct the teaching away from bookishness towards reality. There is no doubt but that the present unhappy times have caused a critical examination to be made by many earnest teachers of their aims and methods, and many of the values of which the truth was formerly unquestioned are now subjected to criticism and revision. The prevailing industrial conditions, which have prevented the normal flow of pupils to industry, have had the effect of keeping pupils in the schools for longer periods than was previously the rule. The effect of this has been that the Technical High Schools have been greatly strengthened in their senior work, a result which if it had been due to other circumstances is one greatly to be desired, since the third or fourth years of any post-primary course faithfully followed are likely to confer vastly greater benefits on the student than a two-year course ending at an £fge of almost complete immaturity. During the year, however, some definite progress has been made, particularly in education for commerce. 0 It is worthy of note that very considerable attention is being given to this problem in European countries, particularly in England, at the present time, where it is being realized that the problems of marketing and distribution are as vital as those of production, but that the technique of • distribution has lagged behind that of production. The Association of Commercial Science, a body conducting examinations and issuing certificates and diplomas, has extended its activities and enhanced

2—E. 2.

its prestige. An earnest endeavour has been made in many technical colleges to relate the teaching of commercial subjects more closely to the actual needs of commerce and industry and differentiated courses having regard to the needs of routine workers and of those who will later on fill the higher positions have been instituted. In typewriting, rhythmic methods are being more widely introduced as aids in the early stages of the teaching of typewriting by touch. In another way the teachers have demonstrated their anxiety to learn from the experience of others by publishing and circulating among themselves a Commercial Teachers Magazine, containing articles which must prove helpful and stimulating to many commercial teachers. So far as shorthand is concerned Pitman's system almost completely holds the field ; an experiment, however, is this year being conducted in one technical school by having parallel classes in Gregg's and Pitman's Shorthand conducted simultaneously, and the results of that experiment will be awaited with interest. In the Auckland Technical School, which in recent years has inaugurated full-time day courses for printing and motor-engineering, further satisfactory progress of these courses has to be recorded. The diploma courses in the same school for matriculated students who desire intensive pre-vocational courses of an industrial or professional nature are continuing to serve a useful purpose by providing opportunities for needful instruction which did not exist before in State-controlled institutions. Technical During 1932, evening and part-time day technical classes were conducted in thirty-nine centres, as against forty-three in 1931. The total number of students in these classes was 9,459, of whom 5,134 held junior or senior free places and 4,325 paid fees. The numbers show a decline of 182 free and 895 paying pupils. In 1931 a considerable fall in numbers as compared with the previous year was divided almost equally between free and paying pupils. In 1932 the fall was confined largely to fee-paying pupils, and was undoubtedly due, directly or indirectly, to general economic conditions, many young people being either unable to pay fees or unable on account of being out of employment to determine what courses they should attend.

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 8,786 at the Ist July, 1932, as compared with 8,541 at the corresponding date in the previous year. , The enrolment of 8,786 consisted of 5,014 boys and 3,772 girls. Of the boys, 2,661 took industrial courses, 502 agriculture, 935 commercial work, 743 a general course, and 173 an art course. Of the girls 1,400 took the domestic course, 1,699 the commercial course, 382 the general course, and 289 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 45,626, as compared with 45,774 in 1931, and 46,557 in 1930. The numbers attending from primary schools were 17,286 for woodwork, 89 for metalwork, and 16,106 for domestic subjects. Secondary departments of district high schools sent 1,605 pupils for woodwork and 1,492 for domestic subjects. From Forms I and 11, of junior high schools there were 1,333 pupils for woodwork, 645 for metalwork, and 1,258 for domestic subjects. From secondary schools and Form 111, junior high schools, 980 attended for woodwork, 410 for metalwork, and /11 for domestic subjects. Private schools sent 1,801 pupils for woodwork and 1,910 for domestic subjects.

Examinations. At the August examinations for the teachers' handicraft certificate there were twenty-eight candidates, of whom two were successful in qualifying for the award of Of the remaining twenty-six candidates five were successful in completing Section I of the examination, three were successful in completing Section 111 (but still required at least one subject in another section to complete the whole examination) while five others improved their status. Of the twenty-eight candidates who sat for the examination thirteen failed to improve their position. The following is a summary of the results of the technological examination held in November, 1932 :— Plumbing : Preliminary —twenty-six sat, twenty-one passed. Intermediate—fourteen sat, eight passed. Final —three sat, two passed. Motor Mechanics: Preliminary—Six sat, three passed. Intermediate—Eight sat, three passed. Final—Nine sat, six passed. Motor Mechanics (Minor Course) : Preliminary—One sat, one passed. Intermediate —One sat, none passed. Painting and Decorating : Preliminary —One sat, one passed. Carpentery and Joinery : Preliminary —Two sat, two passed. Intermediate —Twelve sat, four passed. Final —Nine sat, two passed. Cabinetmaking : Intermediate —Twelve sat, ten passed. Final—Three sat, two passed. Electrical Wiring : Final —Two sat, two passed. Electrical Fitting : Final—One sat, none passed. Engineering Trades : Preliminary —One sat, one passed. Intermediate —Eleven sat, six passed. Final —Three sat, none passed. Special Examination in Building Construction : Four sat, one passed. For the whole examination the results were as follow : Preliminary, thirty-seven candidates sat and twenty-nine passed : intermediate, fifty-eight sat and thirty-one passed ; final, thirty-four sat and fifteen passed : the totals being, 129 sat for the examinations and seventy-five passed. In 1931 the total number who sat for the examinations was 143 of whom seventy-five passed. The falling-ofi in the total number of candidates is due entirely to the effect of the depression on trades and industry and the consequent reduction in the number of apprentices desiring to enter. In order to offset this effect to some extent, the examination fees were reduced during 1932 by 20 per cent. The examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute continue to be held in New Zealand by the Education Department, but only in the subject of electrical engineering practice and in special subjects for which no provision is made in connection with the Department's own technological examinations. It is proposed to extend the principle, however, in the direction of giving those candidates in engineering trades who have qualified in the intermediate and final grades of the New Zealand examinations an opportunity of taking the City and Guilds examinations in subsequent years. During 1932 candidates for the City and Guilds examinations were as follow :— Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade I (Continuous Current)— Sixty-four sat, forty-three passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade I (Alternate Current)— Eight sat, six passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade II (Continuous Current)— Thirty-six sat, seventeen passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade II (Alternate Current)— Twenty-one sat, eight passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Final—Eight sat, two passed. The total number of individual candidates was 123, of whom sixty-nine were successful in passing in some section of the examination. As individual candidates are at liberty to enter for both sections of Grade I or Grade II in the same year, the total entries for all sections of the examinations is in excess of the total individual entries. In conclusion, I desire to express my deep appreciation of the earnest and loyal service rendered during the year by the Inspectors of Technical Schools and the other officers concerned with technical instruction. 1 have, &c., W. S. LaTkobe, Superintendent of Technical Education. The Director of Education, Wellington.

At the end of the year there were 490 of these ex-students in probationary assistants' positions, of which number only two were uncertificated.

14. REPORTS (EXTRACTS) OF EDUCATION BOARDS. AUCKLAND. (Chairman, Mr. T. U. Wells.) 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 at this time of financial stress through which the Dominion is passing the Government is unable to authorize large expenditure on the provision of school accommodation. The necessity for enlargement of schools has been postponed temporarily in some districts through the exclusion of five-year-old children. There are, however, many instances where the need for proper school accommodation is urgent, particularly in country districts where school is held in unsuitable privately owned buildings. The Board trusts that the Government will be able to see its way to deal with these urgent cases from time to time as funds permit. The Board is gratified that, after many years, a grant has been made by the Government for the erection of a new school building at Parnell, on a new site, to replace the old building, which had far outlived its usefulness, and was located on a most unsuitable site in the heart of an industrial area. Teachers' Residences. —The need still exists for the erection of teachers' residences in country districts, and this should be taken in hand when funds can be found for the work. In a number of cases the Board has been obliged to transfer married teachers for whom accommodation could not be found. Training College.—During the year the number of students attending the Training College was 332—i.e., 132 men and 200 women. The Board regrets that, owing to the reduced number of students to be trained, it has been found necessary to disestablish the Epsom Associated Normal School and reduce the number of Model Schools at the Normal School from five to two. Staffing of Schools.—The Board is pleased to report that it has been able to appoint certificated and trained teachers to all schools of Grade 1 and higher. Even in Grade 0 schools (aided schools) certificated teachers have replaced uncertificated teachers except in a very few districts where, owing to the lack of accommodation for teachers, it has been found necessary to employ local residents. The disadvantages under which settlers of backblock districts suffered in the past through the want of proper facilities for the education of their children have thus been removed to a great extent. Where it has been found impossible to establish Grade 0 schools or convey the children to neighbouring schools, parents have availed themselves of the provision for the tuition of their children by the Correspondence School conducted by the Department. The Board appreciates the improvement in the staffing of many schools that has been effected by the employment of ex-students of the Training College as temporary additional assistants in order to relieve large classes.

Refresher Course for Teachers.—During the May holidays a refresher course for teachers was held at the Training College. The course covered all phases of teaching work, and was attended by seven hundred teachers, and was such a pronounced success that arrangements have been made for another course to be held during the next vacation. Married Women Teachers.—Owing to the great distress amongst unemployed ex-students ot the Training Colleges, the Board was obliged to consider the position of married women teachers. These were required to give statutory declarations as to their circumstances, and, after full consideration of each case, the Board dispensed with the services of thirty-three married women teachers whose husbands were in a position to support them. Fifteen other married women teachers resigned while their cases were under consideration. The Board has, of course, retained in the service many married women teachers whose circumstances are such as to render it necessary that they should contribute to the support of their families. Each case is subject to review at any time should conditions change. District High Schools.—The reports of the Inspectors and the results of public examinations show that the district high schools are maintaining a high standard, and that they fulfill a great need for the rural areas. , Junior High Schools.—The junior high schools (now to be known as intermediate schools) at Kowhai, Matamata, Northcote, and Otahuhu continue to give good service. During the year an intermediate department, comprising Forms I and II of the three local schools, was established in connection with the Waihi District High School. Pupils below Form Ino longer attend the district high school, having been drafted to the Waihi East and South Schools. Improvements at Schools. —In many districts School Committees have been able to effect many improvements to the school surroundings by the use of relief labour under Unemployment Scheme No. 5. With similar assistance the Board has effected very noticeable work in laying out playingfields and beautifying the grounds of the Auckland Training College. Motuilii Sunshine School.—The Health Camp at Motuihi Island, which was originally established for orphan children from the Hawke's Bay earthquake area, has been continued throughout the past year by the efforts of the Auckland Community Sunshine Association. Groups of approximately ninety children, selected by the School Medical Officers from schools in Auckland City and suburbs, have been sent for a period of a month at the health camp. The education of the children while at the camp is provided by a special school with a staff of three teachers. The Board gratefully recognizes the very valuable work undertaken by the Auckland Community Sunshine Association in connection with the camp. The Board considers that the camp cannot but have a most beneficial and lasting effect on the health of the children. TARANAKI. (Chairman, Mr. S. G. Smith.) Conferences. —Early in the year a deputation visited Dunedin to submit to the .University Council a scheme for the wider utilization of the funds derived from the Opaku Reserves. Besides placing definite suggestions before the Senate we endeavoured to correct certain wrong impressions that had been created regarding the endowment. Later in the year conferences were held with representatives of all the secondary schools in regard to the same matter ; and on the 6th October the Prime Minister, with your collaboration, met a deputation of representatives of all education authorities and members of Parliament in the Taranaki Provincial District and heard an explanation of the proposals to extend the scope of the scholarships in order to bring them in line with modern requirements. It is hoped that the draft legislation suggested will shortly be placed on the statutes. Rationing Scheme.—As an expediency to provide employment for a larger number of young people the scheme fulfilled its promise to a limited extent; but the scheme has been too much under the domination of the Department to produce the best results. A continuance of the scheme for a longer period than is absolutely necessary is undesirable. These young, inexperienced teachers are placed in charge of classes for three months, and are then removed : the frequency of these changes is not m the best interest of the child and has caused some concern amongst headmasters, School Committees, and parents. , , . Probationers. —No probationers were appointed in 1932, notwithstanding a number of young people of fine type and high academic attainments have expressed an intention to apply when the first vacancies occur Efficiency of Schools.—A synchronous examination was held in all schools in 1932. The percentage of passes compares favourably with last year under similar conditions, but shows a marked discrepancy with the six-year period when accrediting was more or less in vogue. Physical Education.—Members of the Board are favourably impressed by the new system of physical drill. Teachers' instructional classes have been held at Hawera, Eltham, Stratford, Ppunake, Xnglewood, and New Plymouth, and were well attended by the teachers. The Board's thanks were conveyed to the specialist instructors, who freely gave much time and thought in preparation and demonstration of lessons. School Committees—The annual reports presented by School Committees are interesting and informative, as providing a record of the affairs of the various school districts.

WANGANUI. (Chairman, Mr. E. F. Hemingway.) Reorganization of Schools in Wanganui.—Towards the end of the year arrangements were completed for the reorganization of certain of the schools in the Wanganui City area, and the establishment of an intermediate school. The scheme provided for the closing-down of the Wanganui Central Infants' School, which, in view of the raising of the school age, would have been unable to maintain a sufficient attendance to warrant its continuance, and the conversion of the Victoria Avenue School into an intermediate school. The Queen's Park School, which has hitherto taken pupils from Standard II to Form 11, is to become a contributing school to the intermediate school, taking pupils from the primers to Standard IV inclusive, while the Keith Street Infants' School, which up to the present has taken pupils in the primers and Standard I only, will in future also take Standard II pupils. The reorganization involves the provision of additional class-room accommodation for the intermediate school and at the Keith Street School, and this is to be effected by the removal from the Wanganui Technical College of six temporary class-rooms which were erected at the time of the decapitation of the technical college building in 1929, it being intended to place four of these rooms on the intermediate school site, while two are to be removed to the Keith Street School site. To provide the necessary class-room accommodation at the technical college in substitution for that afforded by the temporary rooms the Board, with the approval of the Education Department, agreed, to hand over the Wanganui Central Infants' building to the Board, of Managers of the Wanganui Technical College, the Education Department making a grant of £3,500 to enable this Board to pay off the loan raised from the Public Trustee for the erection of that building. Efficiency of the Schools.—The annual report of the Inspectors shows that the estimated efficiency of the schools visited was as follows : Excellent, 2 ; very good, 30 ; good, 70 ; very fair, 86 ; fair, 20 ; and weak, 1. A comparison of the foregoing classification with that for the year 1931 shows that a distinct advance in the efficiency of the schools has been effected. A gratifying feature of the year's work is that the number of schools classified as " excellent " has increased by 1, while the number described as " very good " shows an increase of 11. School Environment.—Excellent work in improving both the indoor and outdoor environment of the schools continues to be carried out by School Committees and teachers. During the year twelve schools attained for the first time the standard of environment which entitles them to an environment certificate, while no less than forty-nine schools maintained the necessary degree of environmental excellence to warrant the endorsement of certificates issued in previous years. In many other cases commendable efforts to beautify the school-grounds were observed which, if persevered with, will no doubt result in the schools concerned being awarded certificates at a later date. Swimming and Life-saving.—Valuable instruction continues to be carried out at schools where facilities are available. The thanks of the Board are due to the teachers concerned, and to the various officers of the swimming and life-saving centres, for their voluntary efforts in furthering this very important branch of the schools' activities.

HAWKE'S BAY. (Chairman, Mr. G. A. Maddison.) Finance.—The school buildings, including school residences, are on the whole in a good state of repair, although there has been some falling off in this respect. The reductions in the maintenance grant have been so extensive that it will be quite impossible to maintain the buildings at the former high standard. The fact that less work about the buildings and grounds is now carried out by School Committees on account of the cancellation of all subsidies on voluntary contributions is also a factor' resulting in a lower standard of efficiency in the maintenance of school buildings and grounds. It appears to the Board that in a few years' time the grant will have to be increased if the life of many of the buildings is to be preserved to a normal length. Teachers. —In common with conditions existing throughout New Zealand, there was considerable unemployment in the early part of the year amongst ex-trainees. Owing to the fact, however, that practically no permanent appointments were made to positions in Napier schools following on the earthquake pending the reorganization of the primary-school system by the establishment of an intermediate school, it was necessary to employ a considerable number of ex-trainees in temporary positions in Napier, with the result that by the end of the year all ex-trainees belonging to this district were in employment. During the year the Department's rationing scheme was in operation, and it gave fairly satisfactory results. There were two instructors in agriculture, nature study, and dairy science, three in woodwork, and three in domestic science. Owing to the manual-training buildings at Napier being required for primary-school purposes following the earthquake, that centre did not function during the year. Instruction of manual-training classes at Woodville was given by teachers on the staff of the Palmerston North Technical School. District High Schools.—At the end of the year there were six district high schools in operation, with an average weekly roll in the secondary departments of 277. In addition, there was a Form 111 Class with a roll of seventeen under a special assistant at Norsewood.

Instruction has proceeded along approved lines, and the Inspectors' annual report bears gratifying witness to the value and soundness of the work carried out during the year. Swimming.—The encouragement and advancement of swimming has received adequate attention in the district, and a gratifying feature is that the smaller country schools, where no swimming facilities other than a river are available, are appearing in the list of awards of certificates for learners and swimming proficiency. . . Physical Instruction and Medical Inspection.—These branches of work continued to receive the attention they merit. No special instructor in the former is now attached to this district, but many of the young trainees are thoroughly competent to give instruction according to the new syllabus. In a number of the larger schools specialist trainees are members of the school staffs. Both Board and Committees co-operate to the best of their ability with the work of the School Medical Officers, the assistance of the teachers has been readily forthcoming, and the interest of parents has been well maintained during the year. The Earthquakes.—lt is expected that all restoration work consequent on the earthquake ot 3rd February, 1931, will be completed early in 1933. , r i, j The most important decision during tlie year was tliat a separate intermediate scnool be establisJied in Napier. The new buildings were almost completed at the end of 1932. Six rooms in wood are being erected on the site of the demolished technical school, and the technical-school workshop (concrete) buildings are being remodelled to provide four class-roms and a science laboratory. The " contributing " schools will be Hastings Street, Nelson Park, and Napier Central. It will not be possible in the meantime to accommodate the Form I and Form II pupils from the other Napier schools—Port Ahuriri and Te Awa. . Four new class-rooms were added to Napier Central School during the year, making a total ot ten class-rooms. The Greenmeadows School of three rooms was re-erected in wood. The Hastings Street School was vacated by the Post and Telegraph Department in August last, and was reoccupied for school purposes at the beginning of the third term. The Napier Manual Training Centre, which has been used for ordinary school classes since the earthquake, has been reconditioned and re-equipped, and will be reopened in February, 1933, as part of the intermediate school. The completion of permanent accommodation for all classes is very gratifying to every one concerned. The conditions under which many of the children have been taught during the past two years have been far from satisfactory, and to teachers and children alike the return to comfortable and congenial buildings will be most welcome. _ Unfortunately, further earthquakes of a fairly severe character have involved considerable additional expenditure. . . The earthquake of the sth May, 1932, necessitated repairs to several school, in some cases this being for the second and even the third time. _ The earthquake of 16th September was severely felt in the Wairoa and Gisborne districts. Ihe cost of repairs to date arising out of that earthquake amounts to £347 Bs. 4d. In addition, the Board carried out repairs to Native-school buildings on behalf of the Department, the expenditure at the end of the year being £196 4s. 6d. At Wairoa, owing to the destruction of the traffic bridge, temporary arrangements have had to be made for the accommodation of many of the pupils residing on the northern side of the river. , . An important problem arising out of the September earthquake remains unsettled namely, the question whether the top story of the brick buildings at Gisborne Central school should be strengthened or whether that story should be removed and accommodation erected in wood. Parents who have experienced the severe earthquakes in this district during the past two years are naturally extremely loath to permit their children to be taught in a two-story brick school. The building was not severely damaged, but there was sufficient damage to convince the Board that the safety of the pupils warrants the removal of the top story. The Mangapapa Infant School, a brick one-story building, was severely damaged, and a contract for extensive strengthening of this building has been let.

WELLINGTON. (Chairman, Mr. T. Foksyth.) Training College.—The Board regrets that owing to the financial depression and the surplus of young teachers you found it necessary to close the Wellington and Dunedin Training Colleges, but it hopes most sincerely that the time is not far distant when the position in both respects mentioned will have so far improved as to warrant the reopening of both the colleges concerned. This Board feels that, owing to its geographical position, Wellington is the most suitable place in New Zealand for the location of a training college. Report of Inspectors. —The Board is pleased to record that, in the estimate of the Inspectors, the general efficiency of the schools was well maintained. The Inspectors report that the number of schools classed as " good "to " excellent " was 103, representing 45-58 per cent, of the whole. This result is somewhat below the record of the previous year, but the Board hopes that in the current year teachers will make an earnest endeavour to improve on the standard attained in the year 1931, when over 55 per cent, of the schools were classified as ' good to excellent. Central sports gatherings are now becoming quite a feature of the school life in this district, and credit is due to those in charge for the excellent manner in which they have been organized. The Board has given every encouragement to this branch of physical development by granting a holiday to all schools providing competitors for the sports.

Manual Instruction. —In addition to handwork, which was undertaken at all schools throughout the district, sewing was taught by special instructresses at thirty-one schools in charge of male teachers. Owing to economy measures, however, the Board was required to terminate the engagement of all of the special instructresses at the end of the first term. Particulars of lessons in cookery, dressmaking, and woodwork given at the various training centres are given in the Supervisor's report. Special Classes.—Special classes for backward children were continued at Blenheim, Clyde Quay, Miramar Central, Newtown, and Petone Central Schools, and excellent work of a utility nature is being carried out. In addition, special classes for the deaf are held at Thorndon. The special classes which were formerly conducted at the Mount Cook School were transferred to the Clyde Quay School on the 23rd May, 1932.

NELSON. (Chairman, Hon. W. H. Mclntyre, M.L.C.) Raising of School Age.—The Board received with regret the Economy Commission's report recommending the raising of the school age of admission to six years, and an earnest request that this recommendation be not given effect to was unavailing. It is gratifying to know, however, that in response to further representations the legislation was later amended legalizing the admission of pupils at the beginning of the term in which they will reach the age of six years. The Board will, however, be greatly pleased when the penalty preventing the five-year-olds from attendance at school is removed. School-grounds.—Very pleasing improvement has been made in the appearance of school-grounds throughout the district, no doubt to some extent due to the introduction of the environment certificate in 1930. Voluntary Contributions and Subsidies.—Although subsidies have not been reinstated, Committees throughout the district have raised considerable sums by means of voluntary contributions, entertainments, &c. This is particularly pleasing in view of the economic position, and especially at a time when there are so many other calls upon the general public.

CANTERBURY. (Chairman, Mr. H. J. Bignell.) Buildings, &c. —On account of the curtailment of building grants by the Government the Board has been prevented from carrying out urgently required additions, remodelling, and replacements. With its depleted revenue the Buildings Committee has been able to sanction only the less expensive of essential proposals recommended by officers in charge of the various districts. The result has been that many schools have been deprived of the much-needed attention which they would have received in normal times. It is feared that, if the maintenance grant is not increased, the Government will shortly be called upon to face a large rebuilding programme. Conveyance.—Expenditure on conveyance and boarding of pupils amounted to £13,576, or about £4,450 less than in the previous year. The Board contributed £394 of its own funds and the parents £126 to the above expenditure. The services which have been instituted to replace closed schools are running satisfactorily, and it is probable that if economic conditions were more stable other districts would adopt the scheme in preference to operating small schools when there are larger and betterequipped institutions within easy reach. Technical Instruction at Small Centres.- —Due mainly to the financial depression, many students who in normal times would have availed themselves of technical instruction were, during 1932, unable to do so. It is a matter for regret in this connection that the departmental scale of fees for attendance at such classes cannot be varied. A substantial reduction in fees would offer an inducement to young people to pursue their education further, and technical associations in small centres would thus be enabled to provide a service which in rural districts was greatly appreciated in the past. School Hygiene.—The School Medical Officers and nurses paid systematic visits to all schools, examined pupils, advised parents, and carried out numerous other duties incidental to their work. These services are administered in such a way that their worth is liable to be overlooked, but the thanks of the people are due to the officers for their extremely valuable contribution to the health of the community.

OTAGO. (Chairman, Mr. J. Wallace.) Movement of Teachers.—The movement of teachers between districts has been greater this year than usual. This is accounted for by the large body of unemployed teachers applying for every possible position and being willing to accept even a Grade 0 school far from home rather than let an opportunity for permanent employment pass. It is quite evident, however, that most teachers prefer to remain in their own educational district. Of 161 appointments and transfers made during the year only forty-five teachers came from outside this district. Although we have a national system of education, with a Dominion salary and grading scheme, most teachers are still glad to remain within the district in which they were trained. It is but natural they should want to work as near their homes as possible,

26

E.—2

Probationers.—For a second year no probationers have been appointed. The position is hard for those preparing for the teaching service, but it would be wrong to continue to accept trainees while the present surplus of teachers exists. For the same reason it is not right to continue to train Division C students (graduates). , , , This Board suggests that it would be in the interests of the hundreds of young people wlio have qualified themselves for admission as trainees if a selection were made at the end of 1933. The uncertainty of many as to their chances of selection would be cleared up without further waiting, and they would be able to seek other avenues of employment. It is recognized, of course, that they will not require to begin the Training College course until 1935, but during 1934 some might be glad to give their services gratuitously in the schools rather than continue in idleness, or they might even be paid a nominal allowance of £10 per annum. Under the Department's decision to limit the number of probationers passing into the this year, eleven Otago probationers were excluded who otherwise were suitable for admission. With the Department's approval, these were continued in schools during the year and paid a nominal allowance of £10 each from the Board's own funds. These ex-probationers will be considered on their merits when the time arrives for accepting new entrants to the College. ... Education Administration—Following on the recommendation of the Economy Commission for drastic changes in educational administration, a conference of Education Boards was held in April. Every one is in agreement that the cost of administration should be reduced, but there are divergent views as to the best means of bringing this about. Unfortunately the case for decentralization was not investigated by the Commission. Had it studied the question from all angles its recommendations would have carried greater weight. . , . , , The report of the Education Boards' Conference is a valuable contribution to the subject of education administration, and it very effectively clears up some of the misconceptions responsible for the Commission's recommendations. If as great an economy as that estimated by the Commission can be effected under the scheme of reorganization outlined by the Boards' Conference, it will meet with a greater measure of genera approval than that of uprooting and destroying the present system of local control recommended in the Commission's report. School Committees. —Notwithstanding the withdrawal of Government subsidies, School Committees as a whole have given their usual attention to necessary maintenance work—m many cases finding one-half instead of the usual one-third of the cost. The utilization of labour under the No. 5 Scheme has encouraged many Committees to embark on ground-improvement schemes which will enhance the school environment and in many cases provide extended or improved playmg-areas.

SOUTHLAND. (Chairman, Mr. S. Ricfi.) District High Schools.—Of the three District High Schools in operation under this Board it is pleasing to report that two, Eiverton and Winton, showed an increase in the average attendance for the year The third, Wyndham, suffered a reduction, but, it being recognized that if the secondary department was to be retained a determined eflort would have to be made to increase the rollnumber, steps were taken at the end of the year to ensure an improvement for 1933, with the result that the secondary department will open for the new year with an attendance sufficient to raise the grade and permit of the appointment of a female assistant. Special School.—This school, the " Dryburgh," opened in March, 1929, continues to do good work, and has thoroughly justified its establishment. The nature of the instruction given is such that only a limited number of pupils can be taken, the roll never exceeding sixteen. For 1932 the average attendance was fourteen out of a roll of sixteen. Attendance of Pupils.—ln last annual report reference was made to the fact that the district had created a record in regard to percentage of attendance, the figures for which had risen to 92-4. This record has again been broken, a percentage of 93-2 for the year having been reached. This is indeed gratifying, but is explainable as a result of the debarring of the five-year-olds from admission during the second and third terms, as naturally it is the attendance of the youngest pupils that suffers most from unfavourable weather conditions. Agriculture. —Under the control of the Board's Agricultural Instructor classes m elementary agriculture were continued throughout the year. Excellent school-gardens are now to be seen at many schools, and the work in this connection, particularly when judiciously associated with a scheme for the improvement and beautification of the grounds, cannot but have a very beneficial effect upon the children in stimulating a love for the beautiful and a desire for an improved environment both at school and at home. Naturally the withdrawal of all subsidies has seriously curtailed improvement works in the case of many schools, except where advantage has been taken of the labour available under unemployment schemes.

Table K5.—Subjects taken by Training College Students at University Colleges, 1932.

13. REPORTS (EXTRACTS) OF PRINCIPALS OF TRAINING COLLEGES. AUCKLAND. Ground Improvements.—Tie progressive policy of ground improvements undertaken by the Auckland Education Board has already resulted in provision at College of extensive playing-areas both for the College itself and for the children of the Normal Schools. The remarkable development of this beautiful area during the past two years is a constant source of wonder to old students and friends of the College when they return after even a short absence. Already this tract of education reserve promises to become not only a great cultural and athletic centre but a park-like place of beauty which, hallowed by a few years of tradition and natural growth, will be second to nothing of its kind in New Zealand. Since the inception of the scheme the students have taken a keen interest both in the progress of the work and the welfare of the men employed. They have contributed generously to the funds needed for materials, and have supplied milk, sugar, and tea for the midday meal of the workers. At the end of the year a Christmas party was arranged at which four hundred children and parents were entertained on the College grounds. The workers have not only appreciated deeply these practical expressions of sympathy—they have taken a real interest in seeing the grounds grow in beauty under their hands, and seem to have realized that the work of providing facilities for educational activity in the present and future is a task of national importance and a benefit which is conferred upon all children of the province. Associate Schools.—During the year a very close contact has been kept with the work of practical training in the associate schools, this Department being ably supervised by the Vice-Principal Mr. F. C. Lopdell, M.A. The Headmasters of these associated schools have co-operated very helpfully in the practical training of students, and excellent work has been done by critic teachers. The careful reports upon each student sent in by Headmasters at the conclusion of each " section " are very helpful. Great assistance has been rendered to College by Headmasters of secondary schools and by the Principal of the Seddon Memorial Technical College in placing second-year students for practical training. University and Training College Relations.—During the year 116 men and 59 women students took work at the Auckland University College. The work was, on the whole, well done and terms results have revealed a good standard. The Professors' term reports, set out on a special form supplied by the Education Board, enable me to follow up cases of poor work or unsatisfactory attendance. Final reports would show that there is still room for closer liaison between the University and the College in the matter of following up attendance and studies. It would seem that it is necessary, with rare exceptions, to restrict students to two University subjects. The heavy demands of a full Training College course must be met first, and the number of segrotat passes at terms and the cases of overstrain at the end of the year are very high amongst students who have attempted more than two subjects. General Work.—A high standard of work has been reached in College this year, all students realizing that the only guarantee of employment in the near future is efficiency and all-round ability. Every opportunity has been taken by students to profit by whatever College can offer in the way of specialist training. The voluntary classes in eurhythmies conducted by Miss Beryl Whistler have been attended by seventy students, who each paid 15s. for a course of twenty-four lecture demonstrations. This course forms part of the second-year special course for infant teachers, and is taken after regular College hours. A similar enthusiasm was displayed by students specializing in primary and secondary work, voluntary classes being taken by large numbers after College hours.

In the case of students who qualify " good " or higher in these specialist classes, and who are ranked as good teachers, they will be given a College testimonial certifying to the fact that this special ground has been covered. I find that students approach this additional work with a creditable enthusiasm and place a value on the special testimonial issued to successful students. Cultural Activities and Assembly. —Every opportunity is afforded to students to participate personally in the broad general life of College. Apart from the important work of the lecture-room, and the practical training in demonstration and class-room, students are encouraged to take part actively in the athletic and social life of the institution. Once each week the whole College meets at assembly, when for fifteen minutes staff and students consider the problems of the week. At this time opportunity is taken to touch briefly upon world and national topics of interest. The experiment has proved worth while and has made for an improvement in corporate dignity and general tone. Physical Education. —Very good work has been done this year in physical education on the lines of the course laid down in Mr. Renfrew White's book, " The Growing Body." Students take physical exercises every day, and at the end of a two-years course have learned the benefit that accrues to themselves from regular participation in the graded exercises of the scheme. Refresher Course. —A refresher course for teachers was held at the Auckland Training College during the first week of the May holidays. The lecturing work was undertaken as a co-operative effort by the Staff of the Colle'ge and members of the Auckland Inspectorate. Altogether seven hundred teachers attended, and some excellent work was done, interest being maintained until the conclusion of the course.

WELLINGTON. Certificates. —A total of 142 students completed their course of training, and, on the joint results of University examinations and Training College recommendations, certificates were issued. University Work. —The University classes were taken by a total of 149 students, while 88 students obtained their full course at the College. An analysis of the final term's examination results of Victoria University College shows that students were credited with 263 passes. The results indicate 90 per cent, of passes at the University as against 87 per cent, for the previous year. It is evident from these statistics that the academic qualifications of new students admitted at the beginning of the year are distinctly above average, resulting in an excellent percentage of passes at the University. At the same time the professional status is equally well maintained, and the certificates issued represent a high standard of attainment. Observation and Teaching Practice. —The usual routine was followed throughout the year. The first-year students attended the schools for teaching practice a fortnight each term, while the second - year and graduate students attended for five weeks each term, but on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays only, being present in College on Thursdays and Fridays for lectures and discussions. In addition, the first-year students attended demonstrations regularly at the Kelburn Normal School, and followed each week the scheme of daily lessons for each standard. As far as possible all second-year students were given a brief experience of country-school work in the special schools at Thorndon, and the graduates were sent to the High Schools for experience in secondary-school work. We would like to express our very high appreciation of the co-operation in this work of all the Headmasters in the Wellington Schools. Visits of Staff to the Schools.—The members of the College staff visited regularly the rooms where student lessons were being given, and submitted criticisms and reports of the work done. These reports were extremely valuable in estimating the teaching ability of the students in training. Victoria League Competition. —The Victoria League again offered the College two prizes for the encouragement of excellence in spoken English. During the last month a competition was held consisting of —(1) Reading a prose passage; (2) reading a short poem; (3) an impromptu speech of five minutes. The judges were Miss Paterson of the College staff and Professor F. P. Wilson of Victoria College. The winners were : Ist prize—Miss Prideaux Pridham ; 2nd prize—Miss Shortall. We desire to thank the Victoria League for its generosity and for its interest in the English work of the College. Visits of Board Members.—During the year members of the Education Board continued to visit the Training College each month and to discuss with the Principal the needs and requirements of the College. These visits were greatly appreciated and helped considerably to permit the work of the College to be carried on smoothly and efficiently. Students' Association. —The social and corporate life of the College is largely organized by the Executive of the Students' Association, and I desire most heartily to commend the work of the student body during the last year.

CHRISTCHURCH. The work of the College was carried along on lines very similar to those in operation in previous years. The first-year students attended regular observation lessons each week, and were given experience in class-room teaching for a period of three weeks, the year being largely devoted to academic studies for the Teachers' C Certificate. The second-year students had considerably more teaching practice, being allotted to schools for a period of five weeks' continuous teaching each term. All the students at the outlying schools returned to College each Friday afternoon for discussion of teaching difficulties. Students at the Normal and West Christchurch Schools formed large enough groups for separate discussions taken once a week.

The third-year specialists in science, modern languages, music, and drawing each took complete charge of one or more classes at various schools for their special subject throughout the greater part of the year. They were under the direction and guidance of the specialist lecturers, who overlooked and supervised their preparation and teaching. In addition they prepared schemes of work, gathered teaching aids, and read widely concerning the principles and practice of teaching their special subjects. The student specializing in teaching backward children did most of her observing and teaching in the special class at the Normal School, and in the kindergarten schools. All third-year students had a period of general teaching during the year for one month in addition to their specialist work. The College is indebted to all schools—primary, secondary, technical, and kindergarten—for the ready and valuable assistance rendered in teacher-training during the year, and more particularly to the post-primary schools for the opportunity given to third-year students and graduates of teaching their special subjects. The students in Division C followed a course similar to that undertaken last year. Two intensive study periods of five weeks each were spent in College, the work being mainly in drawing, geography, school and personal hygiene, and methods of teaching, both general and special. In addition special lectures were taken dealing with the teaching of history and music. The rest of the year was devoted mainly to professional practice, the students returning to College on Friday for discussions and for further practice in drawing and geography. Special classes were taken during the year in infant methods, drawing, folk - dancing, music, and rural methods—the latter for second-year students only. A specially valuable course was that in light wood-work and metal-work taken by Mr. Barrett with a group of second-year men. The training was definite and thorough and the results achieved very pleasing. The usual intensive course for second-year men seeking work in rural schools was taken in the third term in infant methods, and special thanks are due to Miss D. Baster and Miss M. Wills for the thorough manner in which the course was carried through. An innovation this year was the rearrangement of the time-table to permit of a free period on Friday afternoon for music, literature and drama, art work, debating, and Camera Club activities during the winter term. This proved quite successful. A further innovation was a combined gathering of present and past students which took the form of a " field-day," when games between present and past students were indulged in during the afternoon, followed by a social gathering in the evening. This proved very popular, and will probably be repeated next year.

DUNEDIN. Certificate Recommendations. —Owing to changes in the regulations since last year, it cannot be so precisely stated just how many of those leaving College will receive the various grades of teachers' certificates. Until the Training College Entrance Examination is completed externally, no certificates can be granted ; and the gaining of University terms in a subject for one year does not now count anything towards a teacher's certificate. In a number of cases, therefore, my recommendations have been made subject to the students being successful in these external examinations. Practically all students have made satisfactory progress in the work undertaken at College. Sports. —The winter and summer outdoor games were conducted as in previous years. In winter, when the weather was suitable on Thursday afternoons, all men played either football or hockey, and all women either basketball or hockey. In summer these games gave place to tennis, cricket, and swimming. Teams were entered for the various local competitions during the winter, and, while all sections performed creditably, our most successful department was football. The A rugby team was particularly successful, coming through the season without losing a match, and thus winning the second-grade shield presented by the Otago Rugby Football Union. Clubs. —The Art, Dramatic, Debating, and Saturday Night Clubs functioned as heretofore, and added considerably to the variety and breadth of College culture and social life. S.C.M.—This seemed to be particularly well organized this year, and added its quota to the social and religious life of the College. Social Functions. —These were well managed by the Students' Executive, which was ably directed by its President, Mr. D. E. Murray. Reopening of College.—ln the past four Colleges have been found necessary for the effective training of teachers, and it is very unlikely that in future with an increasing population and a more generous scale of staffing fewer colleges will be adequate when normal economic conditions are restored. It is to be hoped that not only the members of the Education Boards of Otago and Southland, but the citizens generally of this University district, will bear this steadily in mind, and when the time is opportune insist, in the interests of their children, on having their Training College restored. Thanks.—l desire to thank all who have contributed to the welfare of the College during my term of Principalship. I should specially thank members of my own staff, on whose diligence, energy, enthusiasm, and loyalty the success of the College primarily depends. Valuable assistance has also been rendered by the staffs of the Normal and Associated Normal Schools, particularly by those who contributed series of lectures. Many other teachers—primary and secondary—have also been of great service in the practical training of our students. Both staff and students, present and past, owe much to the Education Board and its staff for many acts of kindness and for prompt attention to our requests for support and assistance. As I am likely very soon to sever my direct connection with your Board, I take this opportunity of thanking the Education Board and its staff for their consideration and encouragement during my long term of service in Otago, and more particularly during the past ten years, while I have been Principal of this College.
