1. REPORT OP THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to present the following report on the primary schools of New Zealand 1 for the year ending 31st December, 1934 :— The Inspectorate. The Primary Inspectorate comprises thirty-seven officers. During the year the Service suffered a severe loss in the sudden death of Mr. W. G. Blackie, Senior Inspector of Schools, Auckland. His position was filled by Mr. M. Priestley, Inspector of Schools, Auckland, whose place was taken for the same period by Mr. G. K. Hamilton, Headmaster of the Auckland Normal School. No other staff changes took place. Owing, however, to the temporary closing of the training colleges in Auckland and Christchurch, Mr. ,T. G. Poison, Principal of the Christchurch Training College, was attached temporarily as Inspector to the Christchurch Inspectorate ; Mr. F. C. Brew, Vice-Principal of the Christchurch Training College, and Mr. F. C. Lopdell, Vice-Principal of the Auckland Training College, were similarly attached to the Auckland Inspectorate. This temporary increase of staff enabled some assistance to be given to district inspectorates where the burden of work is relatively heavy. One of the disadvantages of the existing system is the very uneven size of the Education districts in which the number of Inspectors varies from one to eleven. This makes it difficult to distribute equitably the load of inspection except by the Inspectors of the more favoured districts rendering assistance to their neighbouring colleagues. I must pay a tribute to the enthusiasm and thoroughness with which the Inspectors have met the exigencies of the situation. During the year the system of finding employment for all trained certificated teachers not yet in permanent positions was continued. This privilege was much appreciated and was of no small advantage to the schools. The reports on the teachers themselves indicate that they entered whole-heartedly into their work. One beneficial result of the present supply of certificated teachers is that there is hardly a school so remote as to be without a certificated staff. Whereas in 1913 no fewer than 29 per cent, and in 1920 no fewer than 28 per cent, of all teachers employed in public schools were uncertificated, the number now amounts to only a quarter of 1 per cent., and even the latter would disappear entirely were it not for the fact that in a few districts there is accommodation available for a local resident only. In such circumstances a higher and more even level of efficiency is naturally expected. Efficiency of the Schools. The reports of the Inspectors indicate that the schools continue to maintain their efficiency. The tone and spirit of work are very good. The sterner form of discipline imposed from without is giving way to the orderliness that comes from a more scientific knowledge of child nature and a more perfect adaptation of work to the capacity and interests of the pupils. The preparatory (infant) and lower standard departments keep well abreast of best modern practice ; in the upper school there is a tendency to cling to the more traditional. methods. The ground-work in most subjects, especially in English and arithmetic, is well done, but there is an inclination to concentrate too exclusively on the work that can be tested by written examination. The liberty of planning courses, a liberty emphasized on the first page of the Syllabus of Instruction, has been claimed in too few cases. Too little is being done to develop the aesthetic, the emotional, and the creative side of child life. Hence such aspects of education as music, art, and associated crafts, drama, appreciation of literature (including poetry), receive inadequate treatment. A gradual improvement is taking place, but the general aim is still too much in the direction of enabling the pupil to earn his living, and not sufficiently in that of enabling him to find an enduring satisfaction in life at all stages of his existence. Unfortunately the Proficiency Examination at the end of the primary stage has influenced practice throughout the whole course ; yet it is probable that the most important factors have been the force of mere tradition and the absence of the requisite knowledge and skill. With, however, the gradual permeation of the schools by teachers who have taken specialist courses in the training colleges the trouble should progressively disappear. Little fault can be found with the teaching of the traditional three It's. Music is better than it has ever been, and some, though too little, progress is being made in the matter of the reading of music and in the development of choral work, so strong a feature in the schools of the Mother-country.' Art is slowly improving, but attention is concentrated too exclusively on a photographic reproduction of objects instead of on illustration work, design, and decoration. The association of art with craft work has yet to be developed in our primary schools. The inspirational possibilities of colour are still to be explored. These await an adequate supply of trained teachers with adequate equipment. Physical education on the recreational side is excellently catered for in both field and water sports. Wherever facilities are available swimming and life-saving receive enthusiastic attention. In this branch of education experts are readily available ; for some years past all students leaving our training colleges have been well equipped. But in the field of remedial physical education the position is not so satisfactory ; shortly after the new system of physical' training was introduced it was necessary to withdraw the itinerant instructors, with the result that the difficult but valuable system

2

E,— 2

lias been successfully implemented in only a small proportion of tlie schools. The system cannot be learned from the book ; it can be applied only by one who by personal experience is thoroughly familiar with it. It must be said, however, that the training colleges are now pouring forth a stream of qualified teachers whose influence should become more and more apparent. In all these subjects —music, arts and crafts, and physical education—the colleges cannot be expected to bring students to such a state of efficiency as will make them expert teachers unless the students have previously had consistent instruction in these subjects in both their primary and post-primary school course. Much valuable work was done during the year by the lecture staff of the temporarily closed training colleges who went on tour through the schools of the Dominion holding refresher courses in various centres and demonstrating in many schools the most modern methods of schoolroom practice. The benefit was not entirely to the schools ; these lecturers and their Principals who, as mentioned above, acted for the same period as Inspectors of Schools, through seeing in what degree their exstudents were implementing in the schools the training received in the training colleges, will naturally resume their college duties with a clearer insight into the essentials of teacher-training. The innovation was welcomed by the Education Boards throughout New Zealand ; their co-operation made the scheme possible, and many of them have asked that the experiment be repeated in more or less modified form. It was also possible to release for investigation abroad the Principal of the Auckland Training College (Mr. D. M. Rae), who, with the assistance of the Carnegie Corporation, was enabled to obtain at first hand much useful information relative to the training of teachers. Intermediate Schools and Departments. There were in operation in 1934 five separate intermediate schools and eleven intermediate departments, the former being independent schools containing Forms I and 11, and the latter departments attached to secondary, technical high, and district high schools. Two intermediate schools were established during the at Shirley in Canterbury and at Albany Street, Dunedin. In these schools the girls and boys of Forms I and II receive a more complete education than is possible if they remain as part of an ordinary primary school. And, what is of almost equal importance, their separation from the younger pupils makes possible a discipline more suited to their mental and physical development, which at this stage of life undergoes some profound changes. A greater degree of specialization among the staff and a more detailed classification of the pupils enable the aptitudes of the pupils to be more readily discovered and developed. When financial conditions improve the value of these schools could be still further enhanced by a greater development of the arts and crafts courses. The course is for two years and is intermediate between the primary school and the secondary or technical high schools ; but in order to meet the needs of those pupils who do not wish to enter a post-primary school a concession was made this year whereby such pupils could remain in the intermediate school for a third year. This extension of the course serves a valuable purpose in that it provides a profitable occupation for the boy or girl who otherwise would have left school and entered, perhaps, the ranks of the unemployed. In New Zealand at present 9 per cent, of all pupils in Forms I and II (Standards V and YI) are in these new schools and departments ; in England the percentage is over fifty. District High Schools. District high schools with their secondary departments continue to provide country pupils with good opportunities for post-primary education. The demand for the establishment of these schools steadily increases. Roll numbers show an increase over 1933. Two factors have recently given inspiration to this work : the institution of the School Certificate Examination as an alternative to the University Entrance Examination has, without lowering the standard of education, given the pupils a much wider range of subjects from which to choose their curriculum, and thus has allowed pupils to select those subjects most suited to their natural aptitudes ; and the formulation by the Department of suitable courses has proved a much appreciated guide to parents and teachers. It is, however, only to be expected that the narrower University Entrance Examination will, by mere force of tradition, continue for a time to determine unduly the pupils' choice. The new system is already influencing the courses of those pupils whose aim is to benefit as much as possible by post-primary education without any particular examination in view. This is seen especially in the development of arts and crafts, and in the increased adaptation of the manual courses to the domestic and agricultural life of the district. In one district, Reefton, a successful attempt has been made to fit the courses to the needs of the mining industry. In increasing degree these schools are encouraging and accepting the co-operation of the farmers, the farmers associations, and the woman's institutes both for advice and for practical assistance in instruction. These schools will no doubt achieve their highest purpose the more they cease to be a thing apart and the more they become an integral part of community life. Progress is impeded in some degree by the relative smallness of these secondary departments, with consequent lack of specialized staff. The inclusion in the secondary department of Forms I and II (Standards Y and VI) of the primary schools in the immediate vicinity would m some measure overcome this difficulty. Special Classes. The special classes established for mentally retarded pupils are functioning well and the pupils are receiving an education which will materially aid the majority of them in being ultimately self-supporting. In a number of cases parents of such children have refused to avail themselves of the services of these

3

E.—2,

classes. The compulsory provisions of the Education Act have not yet been invoked, but now that such classes have been in successful operation for some time, the question is worth considering whether the prejudices of the parents should continue to stand in the way of the children receiving the only type of education by which they can profit. Correspondence School. The Correspondence School continues to function effectively ; at the end of the year there were on the roll over 1,300 primary and over 400 secondary pupils. Its courses are sufficiently comprehensive to take pupils from the preparatory classes to the University Entrance stage. The lessons are planned to suit especially the busy isolated home where little direct supervision is possible ; their success is indicated not only by the number of pupils who annually gain their Certificates of Proficiency in Form II but by the fact that a number annually achieve success in the University Entrance (Matriculation) Examination. Among the number last year was one who had taken her whole primary and secondary course with the school. While the school provides very effectively for a general primary and secondary course, there are, nevertheless, certain aspects of work that in their very nature cannot receive due attention —e.g., physical education of a remedial nature, music, experimental science involving the use of dangerous materials. The social education also that a young person receives through association with his fellows is lacking in great degree. The staff, however, is ever on the alert to provide compensatory advantages : there are companies of Lone Guides, and Lone Scouts, a circulating library of 2,000 volumes, a magazine section, a stamp collection and exchange club, a school museum, a camera club, a pen friendship club which conducts correspondence through six overseas agencies with pupils in all parts of the world. And in selecting members of the staff care is taken to see that some of them have been distinguished for their activities in games and organized sports. Mention must be made of the course in needlecraft and dressmaking and the associated course in home science which is attracting the attention of the girls in rapidly increasing numbers, and winning the thorough appreciation of the parents. The home-science course is in charge of a graduate of the School of Domestic Science of the University of Otago ; the needlecraft section is to be strengthened by the addition of specialists in art and handwork. Proficiency Examination. The results of the annual Proficiency Examination were slightly better than last year, proficiency certificates being gained by 81 per cent, of the pupils in public schools and 82 per cent, in private schools, as compared with 79 per cent, and 78 per cent, respectively last year. This increase is probably due in some measure to the improved staffing of schools, especially small country schools referred to above. In view of the repeated requests from some quarters for the abolition of this examination and the granting of these certificates on the recommendation of the head teachers, it is advisable to point out that this is the only detailed examination conducted by the Department during the whole primary course of eight years, and that at the end of such a course it is well to have some disinterested official estimate of the general standard of attainment reached. Such an examination, wisely conducted, should furnish also a valuable guide to the post-primary course any of these pupils should subsequently follow. The privileges which a certificate of proficiency confers in securing further education or a position in industry or commerce has naturally claimed the attention of parents ; it is to be regretted, however, that this interest has affected many teachers to such an extent that they have been so eager to obtain a high percentage of passes that they have concentrated unduly on the bare requirements of the examination and have neglected to some extent those aspects of the subjects which are not susceptible of estimate by a written examination. This attitude was intensified by the publication in some districts of the results of the examination and even by the publication of the names of the pupils. lam pleased to say that last December nearly all the Education Boards decided that the list would no longer be available for publication. The question also of giving more weight to the head teacher's recommendation in regard to the best pupils is also under consideration. These matters should materially assist in creating a school atmosphere in which a more generous education can be provided for all, and especially for the more gifted pupils. Civic Duties. From the reports of. Inspectors it is clear that teachers are giving due attention to the training of their pupils in matters affecting the general welfare of the community. Through regular lessons and incidental references pupils are receiving useful information on such matters as temperance in many of its forms, in fire-prevention, in care of national property, and the preservation of native fauna and flora, and in the safe use of public roads and streets. With the co-operation of Education Boards a beginning has been made by the Post Office with the establishment of a system of school savings-banks. The province of the school to-day is rapidly extending ; to quote the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (England), the teacher is not only expected to teach the subjects traditionally associated with the school, but he is to be in a sense a doctor, a bank clerk, a dairyman, a librarian, a traffic expert, a gardener, a playground instructor, a water-conservator, a temperance lecturer, and a protector of animals. With the more efficient functioning of the training colleges many things are possible to enable the young person to fit more fully into the scheme of modern life.

Broadcast Lessons for Schools. The system of broadcasting to schools has been further developed during the year, very good programmes having been broadcast weekly from all the national stations. The lessons are on an increasingly wide range of topics, and deal with subjects not ordinarily on the regular time-table, or with aspects of subjects with which teachers are not usually familiar. No attempt is made to supplant the teacher ; the object rather is to present another point of view, to encourage original thought, and to keep teachers informed of the most modern developments in the teaching of such subjects as music and literature. An inquiry just conducted by the League of Nations' Committee of Intellectual Co-operation shows that the system of broadcasting is becoming an integral part of the school-system in the most diverse regions of the world, and that, so far from this invasion of the school by machinery having a mechanizing effect, the result is stimulating and inspiring. For two reasons development here is slower than could be wished. In the first place, relatively few of our schools are equipped with receivers, but the number is rapidly increasing, and the Department hopes to make arrangements whereby radio sets can be secured at a minimum cost; and, in the second place, there is a dearth of speakers who possess the requisite knowledge in conjunction with the necessary skill in presenting this knowledge in an attractive form to young and invisible listeners. Each of these causes is in a sense dependent on the other. We hope after a certain stage has been reached to accelerate development by being able to offer more inducement to qualified speakers. Exchange of Teachers. During the year one secondary and ten primary teachers went on exchange to England (4), Canada (2), Natal (1), New South Wales (2), and Queensland (2). It is by no means possible to send abroad all who desire to go, since the number is limited to the number of outside teachers who have been nominated by their authorities for exchange with our teachers and accepted by the Department. The system is working well, and those who have recently returned have been much enriched and inspired by their experience. It is only right to put on record that the authorities overseas have been most ungrudging in the manner in which they have given our teachers the opportunities of experiencing the social and educational life of their countries. I have, &c., Jas. W. Mcllraith, The Director of Education, Wellington. Chief Inspector of Primary Schools.

2. REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Slß,— I have the honour to present the report for the year 1934. Staff. During the year Mr. J. B. Mawson, M.A., resigned from the Inspectorate to assume - the Principalship of St. Andrew's College, Christehuroh. Mr. Mawson had rendered excellent service during the six and a half years he was a Secondary School Inspector, and his work, I feel sure, was much appreciated by the teachers. After his departure in August, Mr. H. B. Tomlinson, M.A., Principal of the Wairarapa High School, was employed as a temporary Inspector for a period of over two months ; Mr. Tomlinson's assistance with the grading of teachers and the recommendation of senior-free-place pupils was very effective, and enabled the year's work to be completed quite satisfactorily. The vacancy on the staff was filled in December by the appointment of Mr. J. E. Learning, M.A., Senior Assistant on the staff of the Rotorua High School. Mr. Learning took up his duties in the following February. Consequent upon the temporary closing of the Auckland Training College the Department was able to utilize the services of Dr. H. B. Wallace, Lecturer in Method (Foreign Languages) at the college, by attaching him for the year to the Secondary Inspectorate as an Advisory Inspector in French in the various types of post-primary schools. Dr. Wallace visited, during the course of the year, most of the high schools and district high schools in the North Island as well as some of the principal technical high schools. He discussed methods, schemes, and programmes with the teachers, and gave demonstration lessons where opportune ; his visits were particularly valuable to teachers in the more remote schools, who often work in an atmosphere uncongenial to literary or linguistic studies, but in all schools his discussion and contributions to method were stimulating, even if sometimes provocative. His assistance was much appreciated. Routine Work. In the earlier part of the year sixteen secondary and combined schools were fully inspected, as well as the secondary departments of the twenty-eight district high schools in Canterbury, Otago, and Southland. In addition, twenty-three registered private secondary schools were inspected and reported on at various times during the year. In the second half of the year visits were paid to all the departmental secondary and combined schools in connection with the annual classification of assistant teachers and the award of senior free places and higher leaving certificates.

5

E.—2

The number of departmental secondary and combined schools remains at forty-four. On the Ist March their aggregate roll was 17,786, as compared with 17,225 in 1933, and 17,601 in ,1932. The increase apparently points to a waning in intensity of the financial depression, a view that is borne out by a comparison of the roll numbers at the close of the year. The roll in December, 1934 (15,406), whilst still just below that of 1932 and 470 less than that of 1931, was nevertheless nearly two hundred above the 1933 level. Improvement also is evident in the greatly enhanced number of pupils who began their secondary schooling ; these numbered 5,950 in 1934, as compared with the meagre 5,229 of 1932. No doubt part of this increased enrolment of entrants is due to the abnormally high birth-rate of 1920, but some of it is the result of the lightening or the burden of financial stringency and of the return of a more hopeful outlook. Staffing problems have not been quite so acute in the past year, as fewer schools were compelled to dismiss teachers on account of falls in grade. Many of the school hostels continue to find difficulty in carrying on ; the aggregate roll of boarders rose, it is true, from 859 to 964 during the year, but this total is still 43 per cent, below the numbers in residence in 1930. The number of registered private secondary schools has decreased by one, and now stands at fifty-two. Their aggregate roll on the Ist July was 3,835 (1,703 boys and 2,132 girls). Five appeals were lodged by teachers against their classification, but three of these were subsequently withdrawn. The remaining two were heard in Auckland ; one appeal was successful and the other was not allowed. Free Places and Leaving Certificates. The number of senior free places granted to pupils from departmental secondary and combined schools on the Principals' and the Inspectors' recommendations was 3,602, as against 3,171 in the preceding year. Some 406 of the candidates who failed to obtain free places by accrediting sat the Intermediate Examination in November ; only fifty-one of these—i.e.-, 12| per cent. —succeeded in obtaining their senior free places by passing the examination. The cessation in 1932 of the right to enter upon a University bursary upon the securing of a higher leaving certificate continues to have its effect in reducing the number of applicants for the certificate. Only 705 were awarded in 1934 to pupils from departmental secondary and combined schools, as against 978 in 1931. An additional 128 were also awarded to pupils from endowed and registered private schools. Lower leaving certificates have continued to offer some attraction to pupils in district high and private schools ; as many as eighty-one were awarded in 1934, an unusually large number. None of these pupils came from the regular secondary schools. It may be noted in passing that this particular certificate has now ceased to be granted, its place having been taken by the recently introduced School Certificate. The lower leaving certificate has at no time been much sought after by secondary-school pupils ; practically every possible applicant had already obtained a more valuable qualification by passing the University Entrance Examination and consequently had no incentive to apply for it. The title " lower " has also detracted from its popularity. School Certificates. At long last a school leaving certificate has been instituted, and the first examination for it, held in conjunction with the University Entrance Examination, was held in December. Full details regarding the scope and nature of the examination and of the preliminary courses to be followed by the candidates were given in my last report, and there is no need to repeat them here. As was to be expected, the number of candidates who sat the Certificate Examination without at the same time attempting the University Entrance Examination was very small in the initial year of the system ; as a matter of fact, there were only 212 such candidates, as against the 3,985 who sat for both examinations simultaneously. There were very few pupils in the Fifth Forms who had followed for three years an examination course other than that leading to University Entrance, simply for the reason that previously there had been no other examination open to them. It was a natural consequence, therefore, that the establishment of an alternative examination during the course of the year would find very few pupils ready to make use of the opportunity presented. Most of the few candidates who did attempt the Certificate Examination alone did so in the misguided belief that this examination would be easier to pass than the University Entrance. This view is confirmed by the fact that only 11 per cent, of these candidates succeeded in obtaining a full pass, as against 44 per cent, of the total number of candidates. It is confidently expected that in a little while the number of candidates sitting for a certificate only will increase considerably. Courses suitable for such candidates, and not leading to the University Entrance, have already been organized in some schools, and in a year or so pupils now entering these will be ready to compete successfully for the certificate. The total number of candidates for the certificate was 4,197: of these, 1,876 obtained a complete pass and 883 a partial pass. Of the subjects not prescribed for University Entrance by far the most popular was book-keeping, which was offered by 104 candidates, 28 offered shorthand and typing, 24 needlework, and 30 housecraft. Only two candidates sat in biology, and only one in applied mechanics ; there were no candidates at all in heat engines. Although the Department has at all times stressed the fact that the Certificate Examination was to be of the same standard as that for the University Entrance, a -somewhat surprisingly large number of protests have been received from disappointed candidates and from parents and teachers that an unduly high standard had been demanded, and that the examination had been " harder to pass than

6

E.—2

the University Entrance." It is obvious that if, as is earnestly desired, the certificate is to be accepted by employers and the public generally as having a standing equal to that of an entrance pass every precaution must be taken to prevent its being regarded as merely a second-grade entrance test. It is quite within the bounds of possibility that at some future time the University Entrance standard may be raised appreciably, but in the meantime the certificate must be definitely established at . a standard approximating the existing Entrance one. University Bursaries. The position regarding University bursaries presents some disqxiieting features. Reference was made in the last report to the growing disfavour with which the bursary is regarded, especially in districts remote from the University centres. The average annual value of a bursary is a little over £8, an emolument which offers little inducement to a sixth-form student in a country school to prepare for a very difficult examination in several subjects ; he realizes, too, that by passing the University Terms Examination in two or three subjects whilst still at school he can reduce the expenses of his subsequent University course by avoiding boarding and living expenses for at least a year, and that by doing this he is saving more than what a three years' bursary would bring him. The result is that the habit of school pupils preparing for degree examinations is growing, a fact that has given rise to much adverse comment in some University centres. Admittedly the acquirement of a degree or a section of a degree whilst the student is still a school-boy is very far from an ideal form of University training and education, and it is true, moreover, that in some instances the energy and attention of the school staff are unduly engaged with the requirements of a few degree students. The temptation to the pupil to avail himself of the opportunities offering is, however, very great indeed, and there is no indication that the custom of commencing University work at the schools is waning. One effective counter-move would be to make the University bursary more attractive and more helpful to the country student. If such a step could happily be realized at some time in the future when conditions have become more normal, there is no doubt that competition for the bursaries would revive and the number of " terms " students would decline. The following figures throw some light on the situation. The numbers of candidates who sat for the busarv only in the three years 1932, 1933, and 1934 were 83, 86, and 72 respectively ; candidates for bursary and University scholarship concurrently were 202, 248, and 214, making the total number of competitors for the bursary 285, 334, and 286. The most striking figures are those showing the number of bursaries actually taken up at the commencement of the following University year. Of the 180 who qualified in 1932, only 95 used their bursaries the next year ; similarly, 210 qualified in 1933, and only 109 of these made use of them ; in 1934 only 78 (41 per cent.) of the 189 who qualified took up their bursaries in the following March. Though information is not very precise upon this point, it appears that only eighteen of these seventy-eight bursars come from outside the four University centres. Educational Research. Many educationists were pleased to learn during the year that the New Zealand Council for Educational Research had commenced to function as an active body and, further, had appointed Dr. C. E. Beeby as its full-time executive officer. Dr. Beeby lost no time in placing before educational bodies and others interested the aims and policy of the Council and the main lines along which research projects will be directed. He has also enumerated and published a considerable list of major sociological and psychological problems which might profitably be attacked either by organized bodies of teachers or by individuals. The Council points out that teachers can do much to further its work in the way of suggesting researches, providing facilities, criticizing methods and results and enlisting public interest. On the other hand, the Council is able to help in various ways the teacher who is anxious to conduct a research, and there is the possibility of a small grant being made in some cases. The appeal of the Council and Dr. Beeby will, I feel sure, meet with an adequate response from secondary-school teachers, several of whom have already undertaken to assist in various research projects connected with secondary education. Conclusion. Apart from the interruptions caused by a larger number than usual of mild epidemics, work has proceeded smoothly in the secondary schools during the year. The Inspectors have been impressed bv the conscientious and efficient work of the vast majority of teachers, and also, on looking back over a period of years, by the changes for the better in their methods and viewpoint. A slavish adherence to formalism and dull routine is not yet extinct, but happily it is now of very rare occurrence indeed. In conclusion, I desire to express to my colleagues my appreciation of their loyal and efficient co-operation during a year that from accidental and extraneous causes has been somewhat trying to the Inspectorate. I have, &c., E. J. Parr, The Director of Education, Wellington. Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools.

3. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Sir, — I have the honour to present my report for the year 1934. General . The attendance at technical high schools during the year 1934 was greatly affected by the varying conditions of employment of young people. At the beginning of the year the rolls were increased by larger numbers than usual returning in the higher classes, while towards the end of the year the demand for young employees became very strong and the senior classes in the technical high schools were much depleted. The attendance in evening classes were satisfactory in some courses, but the lack of trade apprentices, of whom very few were indentured during the year, resulted in a further falling off in trade classes, especially in the engineering trades. Buildings, Equipment, and Apparatus. In most cases the buildings, equipment, and apparatus were sufficient and suitable to the standard so far reached in technical schools and manual-training centres in the Dominion. On the whole, the buildings and equipment were maintained in fair condition, although it was clear in some cases that only repairs and maintenance of an urgent character were taken in hand. The grounds and playing-fields were, in general, well kept, though the schools were unable to spend so much on them as in former years, when the available allowances for incidental expenses were considerably larger. In regard to technical equipment and apparatus, it must be admitted that sufficient provision is not made in most of the schools for depreciation and obsolescence. In regard to technological and art libraries, some little interest was exhibited during the year, but the schools are, as a rule, very ill-provided with books of reference in the various branches of art, science, and technology. One country technical high school received a valuable gift of art books, photographs, and original prints from the Carnegie Corporation during the year, and steps are being taken to have the collection suitably housed in the evening-school building, where it will be easily accessible at set times to the general public as well as to the students of the school. In the larger technical schools more attention is now being paid to the development of library facilities. A large expenditure of money, time, and energy will, however, be necessary to bring the technical school libraries from their present rudimentary proportions up to the standards ordinarily attained in technical schools in other countries. Such a development is even more necessary in this Dominion than abroad, owing to its isolation and the comparative lack of large and varied manufacturing industries, and the consequent impossibility of students becoming acquainted by personal experience with many processes and activities easily observable by students in other lands. It is unfortunate that a real desire to establish reasonably good technological libraries in technical schools did not develop many years ago, when the allowances for incidentals were sufficiently generous to enable Boards to obtain all equipment and books necessary for their work. With the present allowance for incidentals the maintenance of equipment and the establishment and extension of libraries, which cannot be given preference before cleaning, lighting, heating, caretaking, and office expenses, are by no means easily provided for. It is hoped, however, that difficulties of finance may be overcome and that the technical school authorities will be able to establish for their students satisfactory library facilities in the near future, either individually or in co-operation with one another and with other local authorities. Class Materials. The cost of necessary materials for class use in both technical and manual-training classes is mainly defrayed by the Boards concerned from the allowance paid by Government on account of incidental expenses. In most cases the Boards appeared to be able to maintain a sufficient supply, part of it being provided by the pupils or their parents, either in cash or in kind. In the case of materials for science and nature-.study in primary schools the allowance towards cost, made as a percentage on the salaries of itinerant instructors, was insufficient, but Education Boards were able to eke it out with the help of the allowance on manual-training classes. Where the materials used by pupils are converted into goods which are consumed by the pupils or removed by them from the schools there would appear to be little objection to the practice of asking pupils to pay towards the cost of materials, even in classes for primary-school pupils where attendance is compulsory. In all cases instructors in charge of classes have some discretion in this matter and are allowed to excuse children in poor circumstances from contributing in cash or kind. Character and Quality of Instruction. The character of the instruction in technical schools and classes varies with the demand and changes in sympathy with changes in industry and commerce. For example, the recent development of wireless communication and the continued progress of motor transport have led to the development of classes in several centres for radio service and for motor mechanics. More attention has also been given in recent years to training for agricultural pursuits not only in technical schools, but also in several secondary and combined schools. The proportion of time devoted to general subjects, including English, history and civics, mathematics and science, remains approximately constant in each type of school, being fixed almost

precisely by the conditions under which junior and senior free places are held in the several types of post-primary schools. During the past year revised suggestions for courses in district high schools have been made to Education Boards, and are being tried out in some cases. These suggestions aim at more rational and complete differentiation of three courses —general, agricultural, and domestic —in schools where roll and staffing allow of subdivision of the work. There appears to be some possibility of success along these lines in cases where suitable teachers are available. The quality of the instruction in technical schools and classes and in manual-training classes has been well maintained during the past year.

A comparison of the classified lists of teachers under the regulations for manual and technical instruction for the years 1920, 1927, and 1934 respectively shows how the staffs of full-time teachers have increased, and also the remarkable change of preponderance from Division 11, teachers without University degrees or equivalent qualifications, to Division I, teachers with University degrees or professional qualifications of approximately equal standard. It is further noticeable that whereas in 1920 72-6 per cent, of the men teachers and 77-1 per cent, of women teachers were in the three lowest classes, in 1934 only 30-6 per cent, of men teachers and 48-0 per cent, of women teachers were so placed. As the total number of teachers has almost doubled in the fourteen years, this rise in average classification is not substantially due to promotions of teachers from low classes in 1920 to high classes in 1934. It is mainly due to the possession of higher qualifications and a higher average of teaching efficiency by the teachers in 1934. Of the fifty-four men in Division I in 1920, twenty-two were classified in 1934, and six others had become principals of technical schools. Of the remaining twenty-six, one had become a primaryschool Inspector, one principal of a private secondary school, one a senior primary-school headmaster, three at least had joined other Government Departments, while others had transferred to secondary schools, and the remainder had retired from the service. Of those still in the classified list one had reached Class VI from Class I, three had reached Class V from Class I, three had reached Class VI from Class 11, two had reached Class V from Class 11, two had reached Class VI from Class 111, three had reached Class V from Class 111, two had reached Class IV from Class 111, four had reached Class VI from Class IV, one had reached Class V from Class IV, and one had gone from Class V to Class IV. In this division, therefore, the average promotion of men still holding positions as assistants has been 2-6 classes in fourteen years. This cannot be regarded as a rapid rate of promotion, and it may therefore be assumed that the standards of efficiency for the several classes have certainly not been lowered in this period. It is more likely that they have risen slightly. The median classification in 1920 lay between Class II and Class 111, whereas in 1934 it was between Class 111 and Class IV, the average classifications in the two years being 2-96 and 3-96 respectively. This appears to indicate that the average standard of the division is distinctly higher than it was in 1920. Of thirty-four women classified in 1920 in Division I, thirteen were classified in 1934, the average promotion being 2-5 classes in the fourteen years. The average classification of Division I women in 1920 was 2-21, and in 1934, 3-03, a rise of nearly one class. So far, therefore, as teachers with higher qualifications are concerned, not only have the numbers employed increased from fifty-four men and thirty-four women in 1920 to 200 men and 139 women in 1934, but the individual standard has also risen by approximately one class. The number of Division II men teachers shows an increase from 103 in 1920 to 150 in 1934, and of women teachers in Division II a decrease from 106 in 1920 to ninety-two in 1934. The average classification of Division II men was 2-49 in 1920 and 4-22 in 1934, and of women 2-5 in 1920 and 4-81 in 1934. Of 103 men in Division II in 1920 nine have since qualified for and are classed in Division I in 1934, while fifty others have remained in Division II with an average promotion of three classes, and the remainder have left the Service. Of 106 women in Division II in 1920 one has since qualified for and was placed in Division I in 1934, and thirty-seven others have remained in Division II with an average promotion of 2-9 classes in the fourteen years.

The scale-salary increases corresponding to the average promotions during the period 1920 to 1934 are as follows :—

• . In Division I for men yearly increments of £15 may be approved in each class, and a salary-increase of £104 therefore corresponds nearly to seven yearly increments ; for Division II men £90 increase is equal to nine yearly increments, for Division I women £80 increase is equal to 6'6 yearly increments, and for Division II women £58 increase corresponds to s'B yearly increments. As might have been expected, the highest rate of promotion was in that subdivision in which the largest proportion of teachers classified in 1920 remained in the service till 1934—namely, Division II men, of whom 60 per cent, remained. In the other subdivisions only about 40 per cent, of the teachers classified in 1920 remained to be classified in 1934. Of Division I men teachers in technical schools in 1934, 8-7 per cent, were on position bars, 20per cent, on grading bars, 5-8 per cent, on the maximum salary of the division, and 65 per cent, received increments.

Of Division I women teachers in technical schools in 1934, 8 per cent, were on position bars, 10 per cent, on grading bars, 6-8 per cent, on the maximum salary of the division, and 75 per cent, received increments. Of Division II men teachers in technical schools in the same year none were on position bars, 33i per cent, were on grading bars, 1J per cent, were on the maximum salary of the division, and 65 per cent, received increments. Of Division II women teachers in technical schools none were on position bars, 41 per cent, were on grading bars, 3 per cent, were on the maximum salary of the division, and 56 per cent, received increments. Of teachers of manual training working under Education Boards in 1934, with no position bars, 40 per cent, were on grading bars and 60 per cent, received increments. Taking all teachers classified and employed under the regulations for manual and technical instruction, 4 per cent, were on position bars, 3"8 per cent, receiving maximum salary in their division, 28 per cent, were on grading bars, and 64-2 per cent, received increments of salary. - Prom the above analysis it would appear that there is comparatively little departure through the existence of position bars from the principle of paying salary according to the teacher's classification. This departure is confined to Division I teachers, for whom it is about 8 per cent. It further appears that there has been a substantial rise in average classification since the scheme was adopted in 1920, but that in both Divisions this may be ascribed mainly to an actual improvement in qualifications of the teachers, which is also indicated by the relatively large increase of teachers classified in Division I. It seems probable that this increase in the teaching-power of individual teachers may account in some measure for the rapid rise in popularity of the technical high schools, which have very steadily grown in numbers at the average rate of 5 per cent, per annum. This rapid growth contributed to comparative freedom from crowding in the upper positions and thus encouraged teachers in other more congested branches to transfer to the technical-school service. In this way many of the most promising teachers in technical schools have been recruited. This process is unlikely to continue indefinitely, and a moderately steady state should be reached in a comparatively short period of time, so far as total numbers are concerned. Increased congestion in the higher classes will then tend to develop, as it has already done in other branches. So long as salaries depend solely on classification and not on position held such crowding of the higher classes will not affect the individual teacher, but the average salary must then rise, and the total cost of the teaching in proportion. To provide against undue rise in cost, and, further, to secure the appointment of a due proportion of highly qualified teachers in smaller schools, it has been found necessary to modify the system by restricting the proportion of more highly paid positions in all the schools. This restriction was put into operation in 1926, with application only to new appointments in the technical schools, and so far position-restrictions govern the salaries paid for less than 4 per cent, of all the teachers, but for about 8 per cent, of Division I teachers. The numbers of teachers awaiting appointment to positions in which their salary will be commensurate with their classification may be expected to increase fairly rapidly in the case of Division I teachers, with the consequence that in the larger schools, at least, promotions will tend to be made within the staff, and only lower positions offered for general competition. Another difficulty which is more or less peculiar to the technical-school service is that the more important positions on the staffs are naturally the senior positions in the several courses, and that these positions require highly specialized qualifications. The appointing Boards must therefore have the greatest possible freedom of choice of these heads of departments, with the inevitable result that the appointees, especially if they have had little or no previous teaching experience, cannot be placed in a high position on the classified list. The result is that the number of senior positions available for highly classified teachers is reduced. Some modification of the present system will probably become necessary in order to avoid a substantial increase in the number of teachers awaiting appointment to positions corresponding to their classification, while at the same time ensuring that the average salary shall not increase indefinitely from year to year. There is, however, no doubt that the principle adopted of paying salary according to classification, while, so far, it has not resulted in the average salary diverging appreciably from that in other branches of post-primary work, has contributed very largely to the marked increase of teaching power and efficiency in the technical high schools during the past fourteen years. It has also contributed towards a feeling of contentment among the teachers, which has reacted favourably in their attitude towards their work. The system possesses the further advantage that it permits of the establishment of a satisfactory Dominion classification of teachers and payment of salaries, without involving any sacrifice of freedom in making and approving appointments on the part of the local authority and the Department. In the case of technical schools such freedom of appointment is a prime condition of efficient management, and should be preserved to the fullest possible extent. Dependence of salaries on position held must lead to a demand on the part of the teachers for promotion generally according to classification, with a tendency towards the destruction of the present flexibility of the system. At the same time the needs of the country schools must be considered and some method employed of ensuring that the more efficient and highly paid teachers shall be spread evenly over the schools, and not gravitate in excessive proportion to the larger centres. The present restrictions on the proportion of more highly paid full-time teachers employed in technical schools tend to effect this object, as well as to ensure that the average salary does not increase unduly. Such restrictions do not affect the salaries of individual teachers so long as the list of positions available corresponds with the classification list. At present, as shown above, the difference is small but increasing, and may be considerable when a steady state has been reached.

Some modification of the system may ultimately become necessary to counteract this tendency, yet at the same time secure a reasonable average of salaries and the proper proportion of more highly classified assistants in each school. Courses in Technical Schools. While the courses in the smaller technical high schools and those in technical high schools situated in country districts show no considerable changes from those which have been in force for a number of years, except in regard to the numbers in the various courses, which have fluctuated largely in sympathy with economic conditions, the same conclusion does not apply with equal force to the technical high schools in the four centres and in one or two the largest towns outside the centres. In certain of these schools the day courses have tended to align themselves rather more in the direction of trade courses than of purely pre-vocational courses, which were at one time the only objective of the technical schools. The tendency is necessarily even more marked in the courses followed in evening classes, which have always offered some classes of a purely trade character, and rightly so. The question is bound up with the decay of the apprenticeship system, which decay, while in evidence before the depression, has now proceeded to such an extent that it would be safe to assert that for all practical purposes the apprenticeship system is dead. Another factor vitally affecting this issue is the modern system of minute specialization of function of tradesmen in order to facilitate economic production 011 a large scale and of the extended use of machinery to perform tasks which were formerly done by skilled men by hand methods. No doubt there has been a good deal of exaggeration in what has been written and spoken as to the effects of the mass production of goods by specialized machinery in that state of industrial organization known as " Technocracy," and whatever validity these opinions may have is mainly in regard to highly industrialized countries in the Northern Hemisphere ; yet it cannot be doubted that the movement has already made itself felt in New Zealand and that it will rapidly and increasingly do so in future years. The building trade, which at one time included the third largest number of employees among the industries of New Zealand, may be taken as an example.Here a single firm situated in one of the centres produces by mass-production methods sashes, doors, and specialized joinery of such quality and at such low prices that their products are competitive in most places throughout the Dominion and take the place of the local product. Large public buildings are now almost wholly constructed of steel-framing and concrete or of reinforced concrete, so that on these jobs the work of carpenters is largely restricted to that of fixing and removing the boxing. Thus the carpenter gives way to the engineer and mechanic, but here again fabrication of steel members is usually done, not on the job itself, but in highly specialized plants adapted for this purpose ; or the steelwork may be imported completely fabricated and needing onlv riveting or welding to complete the structure. Thus both the number of mechanics employed and the range of work is restricted. In the case of engineering the same tendency is easily observable. The Railways Department of New Zealand has found it necessary to concentrate its building and repair activities in highly specialized plants in both islands and to close down local repair shops which once existed. Though no doubt the result has been increased efficiency and decreased costs, it cannot be doubted that much labour has been displaced. The motor-engineering trade, as far as maintenance of road vehicles is concerned, tends to restrict its activities solely to the replacing of worn or broken parts by new ones supplied by the manufacturers at such cost that locally made or repaired parts could not possibly compete either 011 the basis of cost or of satisfaction to the user. One motor-car manufacturer with world-wide ramifications has a scheme whereby worn or defective engines may be replaced with a new or reconditioned engine for a comparatively small charge, the defective engine being returned to the factory for attention. Thus fewer men tend to be employed, and those of a constantly narrowing range of skills. Analysis of almost all the trades hitherto regarded as skilled would reveal similar tendencies to a greater or less degree ; the movement for rationalization in industry is world-wide and although we in New Zealand are only just beginning to feel its effects it cannot be doubted that the tendency will increase and that industrial dislocation must be increasingly evident. Modern industry is governed by the cost-accountant, and, in self-defence, can take little account of the social welfare of the human material it employs, except on a basis of cost per unit of production. No doubt means will eventually be adopted whereby this state of affairs will be remedied, but in the meantime the outlook is extremely disturbing to all who have the welfare of the youth and manhood of the nation at heart. Thus a very grave responsibility is thrown on those who are in charge of the technical schools of the Dominion so to arrange their courses and their teaching as to mitigate as far as possible the ill effects of present-day maladjusted industrialism. It would appear that in continuing to give courses of predominantly pre-vocational character, including an introduction to the culture that is our heritage and to those accepted principles of science and mathematics upon which the industrial state is built, they will best be serving the interests of those who must soon find themselves facing the problem of earning a livelihood in a disordered world. It would seem true that any large extension of the trade-school idea, apart altogether from the inherent difficulties such as the high cost of specialized equipment and the difficulty of disposing of the product, would not in the present state of industrial organization be of advantage to the students in our technical schools. These are likely to succeed better the more they have a sound knowledge of scientific principles, a disciplined intelligence, and a developed power of adaptation and initiative.

E.—2.

Courses hitherto in use in technical high schools have in general been designed to develop precisely these qualities, and present conditions demand that these qualities should be developed to an even higher degree and that curricula should be modified constantly towards this end. Agricultural Education. In technical high schools and combined schools there are two distinct types of courses in which agriculture has a place : the University Entrance course, including agriculture as the science subject, and the agricultural course in which the time usually spent on a foreign language and mathematics is available for a more extensive study of agriculture. The first type of course is gradually disappearing. It was essentially a compromise between the particular demands of the long-course pupil who desired to matriculate and the needs of the shortcourse pupil who would find work on the land or in an associated calling. So far as the teaching of agriculture is concerned, its weakness lies in the fact that the prescription set by the University authorities is necessarily limited in scope, and does not reflect the most characteristic features of New Zealand agriculture. Hence such a course is of limited value to those whose formal agricultural education ceases at the post-primary stage. Nor is it of much value to those students who desire to continue their education at the University standard ; for it has been attacked by those in the best position to appreciate its use for such a purpose —the Professors of the University Colleges of Agriculture. Students who go forward to the colleges with such a training find difficulty in mastering those general and technical subjects that require a preliminary sound knowledge of chemistry and biology. At the same time there has been considerable development of the second type of course, designed to cover two or more years. Particularly in technical high schools this course has become very varied in type, according to the special nature of the agriculture of the district and to the facilities existing in the school. Thus a school with a considerable area of land attached can offer a very practical course in field and animal husbandry, while large town or city schools offer a rural industrial course, with instruction in farm mechanics, together with such observational work on nearby farms as can be arranged. The provision of a school farm as an adjunct to an agricultural course of this second type must still be regarded as an experiment, with many evident difficulties. Where the school is entirely or predominantly an agricultural one there is every prospect that an attached farm would be fully utilized and successfully managed. But where this is not the case, the amount of actual work involved and the heavy burden of management create conditions that make success extremely problematical, whether we consider the effective use of the farm as a unit in the equipment of the course or the economical handling of the land and the stock. During and at the end of the year 1933, 5,020 boys left secondary, technical, and combined schools, and of these, 937, or about 19 per cent., went farming. During the same year slightly less than 9 per cent, of all boys attending these schools took an agricultural course. Boys leaving primary schools at the end of 1933 numbered 11,337, and of these, 2,678, or 24 per cent., engaged immediately in agricultural or pastoral pursuits. For these, agricultural education, so far as this Department is concerned, in general ends at the primary stage. Comparable figures for the secondary departments of district high schools are not available, but 39 per cent, of the leavers go to the land. It would thus appear that there is scope for further development of agricultural courses of the second type. The provisions of the Free Place Regulations ensure that such a course shall not become wholly vocational, but that adequate attention shall be paid to those subjects that are generally regarded as cultural, and the basis of all education. Technical Classes. During 1934 evening and part-time day technical classes were conducted in thirty-nine centres, as against thirty-seven in 1933. The total number of students in these classes was 9,597, of whom 5,616 held junior or senior free places and 3,981 paid fees. The numbers show an increase of 512 free and 7 paying pupils.

Technical High Schools. The enrolment at technical high schools of full-time pupils taking courses under the regulations for manual and technical instruction was 8,911 at the Ist July, 1934, as compared with 8,706 at the corresponding date in the previous year. The enrolment of 8,911 consisted of 4,891 boys and 4.020 girls. Of the boys, 2,418 took industrial courses, 467 agricultural, 799 commercial work, 1.021 a general course, and 170 an art course. Of the girls, 1,533 took the domestic course, 1,800 the commercial course, 404 the general course, and 280 the art course. Manual Training. The total number of pupils receiving instruction in woodwork, metalwork, or domestic subjects under special instructors at manual-training centres was 45,420, as compared with 44,926 in 1933. The numbers attending from primary schools were 16,520 for woodwork, 107 for metalwork, and 15,758 for domestic subjects. Secondary departments of district high schools sent 1,875 pupils for woodwork and 1,749 for domestic subjects. From Forms 1 and II of intermediate schools there were 2,061 pupils for woodwork, 870 for metalwork, and 2,017 for domestic subjects. Private schools sent 2,100 pupils for woodwork and 2,279 for domestic subjects. Examinations. At the August examinations for the teachers' handicraft certificates there were seventeen candidates, of whom six were successful in qualifying for the award of certificates. Of the remaining eleven candidates, one was successful in completing Section I of the examination and one was successful in completing Section 11. Two other candidates also improved their examination status. Of the seventeen candidates who sat the examination, seven failed to improve their position. The following is a summary of the results of the technological examination held in November, 1934 : — Plumbing : Preliminary —Six sat, six passed. Intermediate —Seven sat, six passed. Final — Eight sat, five passed. Motor Mechanics : Final —Two sat, none passed. Motor Mechanics (Minor Course) : Preliminary—Two sat, one passed. Intermediate —One sat, one passed. Carpentry and Joinery : Preliminary—One sat, none passed. Intermediate —Twelve sat, seven passed. Final —Four sat, one passed. Cabinetmaking : Intermediate —Five sat, five passed. Final —Two sat, none passed. Electrical Fitting : Final —One sat, one passed. Engineering Trades : Preliminary —One sat, one passed. Intermediate —Four sat, three passed. Final —Eight sat, five passed. For the whole examination the results were as follow : Preliminary, ten candidates sat and eight passed ; intermediate, twenty-nine sat and twenty-two passed ; final, twenty-five sat and twelve passed ; the totals being sixty-four sat for the examinations and forty-two passed. In 1933 the total number who sat for the examinations was eighty-three, of whom forty-nine passed. The falling off 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 in 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. During 1934 candidates for the City and Guilds Examinations were as follow : — Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade I (Continuous Current) —Seventy-five sat, fifty-eight passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade I (Alternate Current) —Twenty-six sat, fifteen passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade II (Continuous Current) —Thirty-seven sat, fifteen passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Grade II (Alternate Current) —Twenty-eight sat, seven passed. Electrical Engineering Practice : Final —Eleven sat, three passed. Radio Communication Preliminary : Two sat, two passed. Intermediate—One sat, none passed. Final —One sat, one passed. Typography : Grade I—Two sat, two j>assed. Grade II —Two sat, one passed. Minor Course in Gaswork§ Practice : One sat, none passed. Metal-plate Work : Final Grade —One sat, none passed. Plain Cookery : One sat, one passed. The total number of individual candidates was 159, of whom ninety-seven 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 of electrical-engineering practice in the same year, the total entries for all sections of the examinations is in excess of the total individual entries. In conclusion, I wish to express my deep appreciation of the loyal and efficient service in the cause of technical education and manual training given by my colleagues in the Department and by Principals and teachers in schools and classes during the year under review. I have, &c., W. S. LaTrobe, The Director of Education, Wellington. Superintendent of Technical Education.

REPORTS (EXTRACTS) OF EDUCATION BOARDS. AUCKLAND. (Chairman, Mr. T. U. Wells.) School Accommodation. —The Board appreciates the difficulties experienced by the Government in providing, from its limited funds, grants for urgently needed school accommodation, and with a view to assisting in the matter has, from its own funds, made contributions towards the cost of new building works, including remodelling of schools. The Board desires to point out, however, that there are still many cases where proper school accommodation is needed, and urges that, when funds permit, attention be given to the question of replacing unsuitable privately owned buildings, such as halls, &c. Remodelling of many schools is also necessary, particularly in cases where two teachers are obliged to work in the one room. Teachers' Residences. —The Board hopes that in future it will be possible for the Government to make grants for a larger number of teachers' residences. The problem of providing suitable accommodation for married teachers is still a common one in many rural districts, and although it is recognized that school accommodation must take precedence, the Board trusts that funds will be available for the provision of residences in a number of urgent cases. District High Schools.—During the year a district high school was opened at Kawakawa, making a total of twenty-seven such schools under'the Board's jurisdiction. The Board recognizes that the district high schools are of great value in affording to country children facilities for secondary education. The Inspectors' reports and the results of public examinations show that the instruction in district high schools compares favourably with that in secondary schools. Intermediate Schools.—The reports of the Inspectors continue to show the value of the work carried out in the intermediate schools in this education district, and confirm the opinion of the Board that the system should be extended to other centres when possible. Wireless Broadcasts to Schools. —Arrangements were continued during the year for the wireless broadcasting of lessons to schools. At the beginning of the year 98 public schools and 5,083 children listened in to the broadcasts. During the year the numbers increased to 162 schools and 8,410 children. In addition, a number of private schools availed themselves of the service. Refresher Courses.—As the training college was closed during 1934, the opportunity was taken to utilize the services of lecturers to conduct refresher courses at various centres in the subjects of physical instruction, art, handwork, and junior school method. The courses were of great value to the large number of teachers who availed themselves of the opportunity to keep abreast of the latest methods in those subjects as demonstrated at the courses. TARANAKI. (Chairman, Mr. J. A. Valentine.) Agriculture.—By request of the Board, the Senior Instructor in Agriculture, in co-operation with the agricultural instructional staff, prepared a pamphlet containing suggestions on the courses in agriculture and nature study for the use and guidance of teachers. This book is proving very helpful. Physical Education.—Refresher classes for teachers were held in several centres (the Instructors being Mr. Reid, of the Auckland Training College, and his associates) with the object of giving teachers an opportunity to attend demonstrations of methods of dealing in a scientific manner with the fundamental principles of physical education " The Growing Body." Teachers' Residences. —Some years ago movable baches to provide sleeping-quarters only for single male teachers were supplied to several outlying schools. But the Board now finds that owing to the congestion in the ranks of the more highly graded teachers, our young teachers in schools of Grade I and Grade II cannot obtain promotion. Nevertheless they marry and they live in these movable baches, which were never intended for the use of married teachers. For example, at Mangatupoto, Purangi, Whareorino, married teachers —in some cases with a family—are living, cooking, eating, and sleeping in these one-roomed baches. The conditions are altogether unsuitable for decent, refined people. My Board has devised a cheap, movable residence of three rooms with bath and laundry facilities which will meet these cases. In other rural areas there are Grade II and 111 schools without residences or accommodation of any description for the teachers. Hence, it would appear that there is need for the adoption by the Department of a definite policy with regard to the supply of teachers' residences in rural areas, just as residences in such areas are supplied for the use of the police, of railway employees, and of postal officers. WANGANUI. (Chairman, Mr. E. F. Hemingway.) School Environment. —No report of this Board would be complete without a reference to this matter. I was able to pay visits of inspection to a number of schools representative of the various portions of our large district, and in every case there was ample evidence of the continued practical interest taken by teachers and Committees in the environment of their schools. The work carried out during the year can safely be classed as excellent. As the years progress, there is an increasing

realization of the important influence of environment on the mind of the child, and all those who have worked so hard to bring about the present creditable environment of the Board's schools may justly feel that they have contributed in a most practical way to the education of our children. New environment certificates were issued to 14 schools, and the certificates of 81 schools were endorsed, while letters of commendation were sent to Committees and teachers of 18 schools. School Committees. —The thanks of the Board, and, indeed, of the whole community, are due to those indefatigable workers —the members of the various School Committees. There is not the slightest doubt that the School Committees of this country save the Government thousands of pounds, not only by raising funds, but by their own personal labour, and. I cannot speak too highly of thenefforts. They have every reason to be proud of the results of their work in the schools of this district —work carried out solely for the benefit of the children, the citizens of the future. Physical Education. —During the year the Board was fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr. K. Reid and Miss M. Blackburne, members of the staff of the Auckland Training College, to hold short refresher courses in various centres. These courses were very well attended, and reports show that teachers derived much benefit from the visit of these experts. School Sports Associations continue to do most valuable work. The enthusiasm shown by competitors and parents at the annual gatherings left no doubt as to the popularity of this school activity. The Board tenders its thanks to all teachers, Committees, and parents, who so ably control this important work.

HAWKE'S BAY. (Chairman, Mr. G. A. Maddison.) As in the past two years, owing to the reduction in the maintenance grant, the Board has had to watch its finances very carefully, and has therefore not been able to give as much assistance as it would have liked for certain services in connection with the schools. On the whole, however, the Board's finances are in a very satisfactory position. The reductions in the maintenance grant have made it difficult for the Board to maintain the schools at their usual standard, but the special grant expended at the beginning of 1934 mainly on painting and renovation has enabled the Board to bring about a very desirable improvement in a number of schools which most needed attention. The majority of School Committees have recognized during the year that the Board has not had the funds available to carry out many desirable works, and various improvement schemes which Committees have had in mind have therefore had to stand over. Many Committees have, however, contributed liberally to various works, and where the Committees have been willing to help themselves the Board has endeavoured in such cases also to grant some assistance. The greatest concern of the Board during the year has been repairs to asphalt or bituminous surfaces. During the time that subsidies on voluntary contributions were available, many Committees obtained subsidies with the object of putting down such surfaces in the school playgrounds, and over the whole district a very large area of work was undertaken. It has been found, as is usual with this type of surfacing, that fairly extensive recoating and repairs have been necessary, and this has imposed a very heavy demand on the Board's funds. The Board has assisted to carry out this repair work in all urgent cases, as it is realized that if a surface of this type is allowed to deteriorate too far the cost of restoration in a year or two will be altogether too great. The Board has come to the conclusion and has definitely decided that it will not approve of any further asphalting or bitumen surface work at the schools, in view of the recurring cost for repairs. It believes that the best course is to put down all permanent surfaces in concrete. Although the initial cost is very much higher, the future cost of repairs is practically nil. Refresher Classes.—Mention has already been made of the refresher classes in physical drill. During the year special refresher classes were also conducted by members of the Auckland and Christchurch Training College staffs in art, infant method, and handwork. The classes were held at various centres throughout the district, and the many teachers who attended benefited greatly from this opportunity to learn the most up-to-date methods in these subjects. In addition to work done by means of refresher classes, three Lecturers from the training colleges visited the secondary departments of district high schools, and gave expert advice in the teaching of rural science, domestic science, and modern languages.

WELLINGTON. (Chairman, Mr. W. V. Dyer.) Children's Sports. —The Board appreciates the efforts of those teachers who have organized sports gatherings, and it is hoped that this side of school life will be still further developed. Special Classes. —The results obtained at these classes are very good indeed, and fully justify the Department's policy. Much of the work recently exhibited was excellent, reflecting great credit on the specialist teachers in charge. School Libraries. —The Wellington Public Libraries supplied 76,301 issues to 36 city and suburban schools. A total of 31,434 Supplementary Readers were issued in 1934, an increase of 1,310 on the previous year's total.

E.—2.

The Wellington Libraries' Department has again been responsible for the distribution of the books ; and many Supplementary Readers and also general books have been rebound. Old books have been withdrawn and replaced by more up-to-date issues, and the stock has been enlarged, the cost being borne throughout by the Wellington Libraries' Department, assisted by the Education Board, and with the support of the Wellington School Committees' and Educational Federation. This scheme provides a wonderful amount of reading for the pupils of the city and suburban schools, far in. excess of that obtainable from an individual school library, and should be availed of to the fullest possible extent. The Board's thanks are due to the Wellington Libraries' Staff for the manner in which they have at all times assisted our schools, and for the help which they have given to the teachers. School Committees Voluntary Contributions. —As far as possible the Board continued to subsidize the efforts of School Committees in connection with improvements to the school premises and the enlargement of school libraries. Owing to the effect of legislation passed during last session, however, very little assistance will be available in future, unless the Government accedes to the Board's request for the restoration of the subsidies scheme which was in force prior to the depression.

NELSON. (Chairman, Hon. W. H. Mclntyre, M.L.C.) School Age of Admission. —The Board is disappointed that the school age of admission has not yet been lowered to five, years. Those parents who can afford to do so are sending their five-year-olds to private schools, but the less fortunate child still finds the door of the State school closed to him until the beginning of the term in which he reaches the age of six. Once again the Board most earnestly asks that during the coming year the age of admission will be again reduced to five years. Rationing Scheme. —The altered conditions governing the rationing scheme provided employment for every certificated teacher who was without a permanent position. Although there may have been some criticism of the rates of salary and allowances prescribed, there can be no doubt that the new scheme was a decided success. Every young teacher was found a position and occupied a definite place in the education system of the Dominion. Practically all the rationed teachers, while hoping for better conditions ahead, were well satisfied with the arrangements made, and many expressions of appreciation were heard. It is very gratifying to know that for 1935 the salaries prescribed for rationed teachers will be still further increased. School-grounds. —The high standard of environment at practically all schools was maintained, and at the end of .the year the Board found it necessary to issue a further 12 environment certificates. The total number of certificates issued and endorsed at the end of the year was 39, and a further 25 schools received letters of commendation. Sjsecial mention must be made of the excellent swimming-bath erected, at very small cost, by the Committee, teacher, and pupils of Central Takaka.

CANTERBURY. (Chairman, Mr. C. S. Thompson.) Elementary Handwork in Priytary Schools.—No handwork or infant-room material was supplied by the Department for 1934 classes due to the existing economic conditions. The Board's stock of material being completely exhausted, it was found necessary to incur a certain expenditure in this connection on necessitous cases ; but owing to the limited funds available it was not found possible to cope adequately with the situation. No needlework capitation was made available by the Department in respect of schools staffed only by male teachers. In a few cases ladies of the district carried on the instruction in a voluntary capacity, and the Board's thanks are due to those who assisted in this direction. Manual Training.—Manual instruction was continued in the Canterbury District on the same lines as in previous years. No extension of the work was possible, due to the Government's policy not to expand this branch of education until financial conditions were easier. It was anticipated, however, that this restriction would be relaxed to some extent in the new year. There were nineteen centres in operation under fourteen Woodwork and thirteen Cookery Instructors. Pupils from 118 public and 23 private schools received instruction in woodwork and cookery, the respective numbers being approximately 3,739 boys and 3,514 girls. Agricultural Instruction. —Through the closing of the Christchurch Training College for the year the services of Mr. L. W. McCaskill, Lecturer in Nature Study and Agriculture, were made available to the extent of two-thirds of the school-days in each term to augment the work of the regular staff of three Instructors. With few exceptions it was thus possible for a.n Instructor's visit to be made to each school in each term, and also to extend the visits to the larger schools to whole-day visits, enabling more attention to be given to nature-study programmes in the lower classes than had hitherto been possible. The usual agricultural competitions were carried on, and a good measure of success obtained in all branches. School Hygiene. —The School Medical Officers have carried out the programme of inspection in their usual efficient manner. Zeal and enthusiasm have been marked features of their work, and parents have every reason to feel grateful for the establishment and maintenance of a service which must have a beneficial effect on the future of young New Zealand.

OTAGO. (Chairman, Mr. J. Wallace.) Unemployed Teachers. —The decision to provide all unemployed teachers with work at £60 per annum, and boarding allowance where necessary at £24 per annum (increased at Ist August to £72 and £36 respectively), proved a satisfactory solution of the difficulties attached to the allocating of work under the scheme in existence during the past two years. It was welcomed by the unemployed teachers as providing a definite year's work, and by the schools as providing a greater measure of continuity in the teaching staffs. Training College Admissions. —For the first time since November, 1930, new trainees were selected to begin their training in 1935. The number of qualified applicants for admission as Division A students was 89, while the Otago quota to be selected therefrom was 38. The number of applicants for admission as Division C students (graduates) was eight, and the quota three. This is the first time that trainees have not been required to serve as probationers in schools for one year before entering college. Teachers of experience regard this probationary year as a most valuable year's training. It is possible that it is dispensed with on this occasion more for economical than for sound educational reasons. School Committees. —A good School Committee is one of the finest assets any district can have. It can band a whole community together in the interests of the local school, while a headmaster and his staff can do better work when they know they have the support and encouragement of a good Committee. Not many Committees now hold the opinion that our " free " system of education means that the Government should provide everything. In recent years School Committees have had much to discourage them — the withdrawal of pound-for-pound subsidy, reduced incidental grants through removal of five-year-olds, and lessened help from the Boards owing to the reduction of the maintenance grant. In many cases, however, these set-backs have spurred Committees to greater efforts, and during the past twelve months some phenomenal amounts have been raised for individual tables and chairs, central heating, washing facilities, and other amenities. The amount paid to School Committees for incidental expenses was £9,769. Thirty-eight Committees suffered a reduction in their incidental grant, while only four received an increase. The additional grant of £415 was used to assist those which had suffered most. Milk for School-children. —During the winter term the children of eleven Dunedin schools were provided with a mid-morning ration of milk. The method generally adopted was to give the milk free to the children of relief workers and to undernourished children, all others paying from 2d. to 4d. per week for i pint a day. The cost of the free milk was found in equal proportion by the Board and the School Committees. A total of 1,504 children were provided with milk, those receiving it free and those paying being about equally divided. Intermediate School. —The Dunedin North Intermediate School was opened for use on Monday, sth February, and officially opened by the Minister of Education (Hon. R. Masters, M.L.C.) on 23rd February. The opening roll was 348, but by permission of the Minister the school was staffed as for Grade Vla (361-400). There were actually sufficient pupils in the Fourth Standards of the contributing schools to place the school in Grade Vla, but a number of parents were disinclined to take advantage of the new type of school. With the growing prestige of the school, it is expected that this disinclination will gradually cease to exist.

SOUTHLAND. (Chairman, Mr. S. Rice.) Agriculture, Science, and Nature Study. —During the year a considerable advance has been made with reference to the correlation of the work of various classes and the employment of improved methods, particularly in regard to nature study. Many schools, however, find difficulty in carrying out science and agriculture experiments because of lack of apjiarat.us and material. Much apparatus can be and is improvised, but there are certain essentials which are indispensable if a complete course is to be carried out. In this connection the Board would again draw attention to its dissatisfaction with the system whereby capitation provided for the purchase of materials is based on the salaries paid to Instructors, as districts such as this having only one Instructor are severely handicapped. Building Operations.—New building operations were very restricted during the year, expenditure of grants provided by the Department being as follows : — £ s. d. Sunnyside —New school. . . . . . . ■ ■ ■ • • 465 2 7 Colac Bay —Rebuilding school and residence destroyed by fire .. 721 17 10 Te Waewae —Remodelling school . . .. .. . ■ 75 10 2 Invercargill North —Concrete paving .. .. . . .. 97 19 5 Invercargill South —Concrete paving . . .. .. . ■ 57 5 0 £1,417 15 0 Grants received for maintenance of school buildings amounted to £4,311 17s. 6d., an increase of £1,232 15s. on the amount received for 1933, and the Board has been able, owing to the increased amount available, to make some progress towards overtaking arrears of maintenance work.
