REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour of submitting my report on the primary schools for the year ending 31st December, 1940. The War. Although considerable numbers of teachers are serving with the Forces it cannot be said that there has as yet been any marked effect on the efficiency of the schools. The calmer, more restrained, but more resolute attitude of the country in facing this great crisis is reflected in the schools. Teachers and children have assisted wholeheartedly in the various campaigns to raise funds, to collect valuablewaste material, and to provide comforts for the soldiers. The Junior Red Cross movement has received new impetus, and in one district the children provided the money to purchase a fully-equipped motor-ambulance. In the latter part of the year, at conferences of representatives of Emergency Precautions Scheme organizations, proposals for the protection of school-children in case of emergency during school hours were investigated, and it was found that the best plan was to incorporate school-protective measures in the general Emergency Precautions Scheme of each locality. For this purpose, a Protection of School Children Committee was to be set up as a sub-committee of each organization. Teachers are readily offering their services in the various emergency precautions units, and emergency drills are regularly practised in the schools. The Department, in collaboration with the Boards and the New Zealand Educational Institute, has made full provision to safeguard the professional interests and rights of soldier-teachers. As in the case of other State employees, the Government is paying their contributions to the Superannuation and Social Security Funds. Promotion in the teaching service is provided for by the award of the usual grading efficiency increases and by a system of general applications covering all vacant positions for which the claims of teachers in the Forces must be considered, the guiding principle being that soldier-teachers are to lose nothing professionally while they are serving their country. The war has brought into sharp relief the significance of the democratic mode of living. As far as conditions permit, the children must be taught to realize that democracy is based on service, and consideration for the rights of others, and that the foundation of future citizenship is laid in the willing and cheerful accomplishment of the manifold daily tasks of the school undertaken by all for the good of all. Educational Progress. The abolition of the Proficiency Examination can now be regarded as one of the most beneficial movements in the recent history of primary education in this country. In a changing world, where education must conform with social and economic progress, our schools are becoming more closely related to the realities of life. The physical welfare and well-being of the children are considered to to be of paramount importance The schools provide occupational and cultural pursuits unthought of a generation ago. Subjects of instruction formerly treated as ends in themselves are becoming merged as far as possible into streams of activities, physical, oral, written, and manual in which the children are given the opportunity, under expert guidance, to develop through fuller self-expression. Ability-grouping, which asks for capacity achievement in different phases of school work according to the innate aptitudes and abilities of the individual pupils, is being extended. Club or hobby periods enable pupils to exploit with kindred spirits of a group, free-choice work in music, drama, art, craft, or useful occupations. To quote recent cases, one school has discovered a boy with marked ability for printing, another a boy with a flair for commercial art, another, a girl with a wonderful gift for art needlework. These pupils, with little academic ability, have thereby gained confidence and self-respect, indispensable for success in future life. Although the curriculum has been enriched and extended, the length of the school day has not been altered. To meet this situation it has become necessary to revalue certain subjects, which in some details of scope and content are still cumbered with the legacy of pedantic tradition. Arithmetic is par excellence an example. Can a school in reasonably meeting the needs of everyday life continue to ask pupils at any stage to work sums involving fantastic combinations of weights and measures unheard of outside the class-room, or waste valuable time on useless calculations undertaken under the specious guise of mental discipline ? A critical analysis of the content of certain subjects must result in an adjustment of educational values and criteria. In one district the teachers have conducted an investigation in evolving minimal prescriptions in arithmetic, and already the time devoted thereto has been reduced to two hours and a half weekly, without loss of accuracy. In the schools to-day children speak and write English more clearly and confidently than ever before, and there is nothing in the new education to preclude the acquirement of essential accuracy in spelling or arithmetic provided the courses are rational and well graded and due attention is given. Training of Teachers. The total number of students in training at the four colleges during the year was 1,460. Of these, 690 were in their first year, 680 in their second year, and 90 were undertaking an additional year of specialist training. Commendably good work is accomplished in the colleges. The principles underlying educative processes based on a sympathetic understanding of the child, and of the worth of the individual, are well established. As far as facilities allow, the students are given sound practice in the methods of teaching and class-management. The fine work of the colleges is reflected in the attitude of the probationary assistants who are completing their last year of training as staff teachers in the schools. These young teachers engage in their duties with enthusiasm and purpose. There is a greater demand for the services of trained specialist teachers, especially in the fields of physical education, art and crafts, music, and speech, and an additional twenty studentships were awarded for 1940. The college staffs and teacher-specialists have given valuable assistance in an

E.—2,

ncreased number of refresher courses for teachers, conducted in various parts of the Dominion. Cultural phases of education have been enhanced, music, for example, attaining a much higher level in the schools, and the quality of the singing heard not only in individual school choirs, but in the combined schools' music festivals, which are becoming popular features, has never been better. Physical Welfare. In physical education all districts report an outstanding advance in efficiency. The Superintendent of Physical Education and a staff of specialists have worked tirelessly in introducing the new work in the schools. An increasing number of specialists is being trained in the training colleges, and a number of refresher courses for teachers have been successfully conducted. The willing co-operation of the Boards, and the keenness of the teachers, have contributed largely to the success of these courses. The exercises and games which aim to promote natural activity and agility have a compelling appeal for the pupils. Some excellent films have been freely used in illustrating various phases of the movements. The teaching of swimming participates in this general advance. Large numbers of children are taught to swim each year. The opportunities afforded by the relaxation of the ordinary curriculum in February have perhaps been most advantageously used in connection with swimming. A film clearly delineating the progressive stages in learning how to swim has been made by one of the Department's staff and is the best of its kind yet used. Larger numbers of schools are installing the shallow type of learners' pool, its great advantages being lower initial cost and suitability lor all grades of learners, even the infants. Teachers have been advised to give greater attention to the teaching of life-saving in senior classes. Teachers as a body deserve credit for the attention given to school games and to organized sports meetings where groups of schools compete in athletics, swimming, or national games. It can confidently be stated that the schools as a whole are playing their part in the national fitness campaign. The Department of Health, through the Divisions of School and Dental Hygiene, gives invaluable help in all measures taken to improve the health of the children. As a greater number of dental nurses becomes available dental treatment is being extended to larger of children. The Milk-in-schools Scheme is proving most successful. The teaching of health is being established on a more practical basis, and the value of temperance is, with few exceptions, being stressed. Roadsafety measures continue to receive special attention. Fine co-operation is extended by the Transport Department, two of whose officers are wholly engaged in educational work in the schools. Expert advice, with the use of suitable films specially selected or prepared, has been freely given. The Transport Department has, after consultation with the Education Department, Education Boards, and automobile and road - transport organizations, formulated comprehensive proposals for the inauguration of a Dominion-wide system of school crossings and patrols. Some of this work has been successfully begun by one or two automobile associations, but it is considered that an effective national system, with binding conditions, can be operated only by a State Department. The teachers have co-operated well, and some show considerable ingenuity in making the instruction practical by means of model road lay-outs and toy vehicles, or by outdoor instruction. The children are acquiring a definite road sense. Teaching Aids. Broadcasting continues to play an important part in this field, the lessons on music and speech being particularly appreciated. Excellently compiled booklets, well illustrated, containing particulars of the programmes, arc eagerly sought by the schools. The officials of the Broadcasting Service, as well as the organizers and their assistants, have given much time and thought to the preparation of suitable broadcast lessons. Despite the difficulties arising from war conditions, an increasing number of schools are obtaining equipment for visual education. Both motion and still types of projectors are in use, but oil account of the lower cost of both machine and films the still type is favoured. An improved type of film-strip projector is being manufactured in New Zealand, and the strips 011 a wide range of topics can be conveniently prepared locally. The experiment of appointing Educational Officers to the museums at each of the four centres has proved so successful that the Department has taken over these officers as full-time teachers in the Education Service. Their duties as liaison officers between the museums and the schools involve the preparation of museum material for distribution to schools, and the giving of talks to children, and lectures to teachers and training-college students at the museums. The expressions of approval from both country and town schools of the work being done are very encouraging. Visits to nearby institutions, industrial premises, and places of interest continue to be featured in some districts. The more ambitious school journeys were freely undertaken in connection with visits to the Exhibition. The information gained by pupils is largely used as a basis for project work, and the personal contacts made add realism to social studies. Pictorial and diagrammatic aids are increasingly used. The value of graphical representation was well shown in the case of one class that recorded the whole outline of its sea-shore nature-study project in one extensive and artistically executed mural. So important has the whole field of teaching aids become that it is now necessary to consider the appointment of a Supervisor to give expert guidance. Libraries. The increased grant made by the Government has been welcome. Considerable efforts are still required 011 the part of local authorities to raise funds. In one district the profits from an annual schools' music festival are used to augment library funds. In centres served by city or borough school library schemes the schools are fortunately placed. The provision of an adequate supply of readingmatter for country schools has caused some concern. A survey of several districts has been undertaken

E— 2.

by an officer of the Country Library Association and this is to be extended. At present the best scheme in operation is in one education district where a Schools Library Service ojierated by a Municipal Library in collaboration with the Board provides a fine range of books not only to town schools, but to most of the country schools as well. Centennial Exhibition. The primary schools actively assisted, and in the Education Court was displayed a comprehensive range of good samples of children's art, craft, needlework, and project work. The talents of the pupils and the possibilities of fuller exploitation were clearly indicated. The new trend of school art in which the child's interpretation is given untrammelled expression, the diversity of material for handicrafts, and the high standard of workmanship attained, were in the nature of a revelation, and unstinted praise for the children's efforts was given by all. In many districts historical and geographical surveys of the locality were made by the pupils, and a wealth of material recorded in an interesting fashion. Educationally these researches are worthwhile and give a practical significance to social studies. Many thousands of children from all over New Zealand, under the charge of their teachers and representatives of committees and parents, visited the Exhibition. The hostel provided in the old Newtown School proved a real asset, and enabled school parties to secure good accommodation at a minimum of cost. In the Centennial year many thousands of native trees and shrubs propagated for the purpose were planted in school grounds. This special interest in native flora links up with the lessons on the care and jirotection not only of plant and bird life, but of public property. Handicapped Children. The special classes for backward children continue to accomplish useful work. In some of the cities Occupation Centres have been established to continue this work for older children who have little or no ability for even a modified type of education, but who can be trained to acquire desirable personal and social habits and to participate in recreational and occupational pursuits. Facilities for the treatment of disabilities of speech and hearing are being extended as specialists trained in the colleges become available. Expert advice has been given by the Principal of the School for the Deaf, Sumner, who has visited the various centres. Hospital classes for children who are inmates are proving very successful. Several permanent health camps are in course of erection, and educational facilities are being provided. While children attend these camps primarily for health reasons, suitable forms of school work are found to be beneficial. Correspondence School. The School continues to function successfully in providing education for primary and postprimary children and also adults who are unable to attend ordinary schools or classes. The courses include academic and practical subjects, and the staff includes a number of experts qualified to give specialized forms of instruction. The use of the radio has been extended, and there is now a national link-up for the broadcast lessons. A monthly bulletin brings to the notice of parents and pupils school news and also notes on the various club activities. The visiting-teacher system has been continued, so that as far as possible personal contact is maintained between the school and the homes. Arrangements for conducting another vacation school in January at Oamaru have been made. In this way the pupils who attend gain some real school experience of a profitable and enjoyable nature. District High and Intermediate Schools. The secondary departments of our district high schools continue to accomplish good work, and satisfy the demands, if not all the needs, of the communities which they serve. While academic courses still receivc too much prominence, it is pleasing to note that greater attention is being given to manual, domestic, and rural pursuits, and also to such cultural phases as speech-training, music, and art. Intermediate schools are proving their superior educational worth. The fine types of buildings, together with the modern equipment and material provided, enable the staffs of specially selected teachers to work under the best conditions. The segregation of pupils of the same ago groups facilitates homogeneous grouping and the differentiation of curricula, most important factors in fulfilling the educational and selective functions of these schools. As conditions permit, in suitable centres, especially where new schools or further accommodation are required, it is the Department's policy to extend the intermediate system. Rural Education. The generally efficient system of rural education, even in sole-charge schools, in this country compares most favourably with those abroad. The progressive development of consolidation which affords better educational facilities for country children has been checked on account of the need for conservation of petrol. Inspectors of Schools and Advisers to Infant Departments have devoted a great part of their time to assisting country teachers. Refresher courses, meetings, and discussion circles have been freely used to disseminate progressive ideas. The Agricultural Instructors have efficiently supervised all activities embraced under rural science, the work of agricultural clubs in plot culture and animal rearing being very successful. 1 have, &c., G. E. Overton, Chief Inspector of Primary Schools. The Director of Education, Wellington.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to present the report for the year 194-0 : — Staff. Once again the personnel of the inspectorate has undergone considerable change. Mr. Caradus, Senior Inspector, who had been seconded to the Air Department in November, 1939, in order to become Director of Educational Services for the Air Force, was absent throughout the year. The temporary vacancy thus created was filled by the appointment of Miss M. J. Browne, 8.A., B.Sc., of the Wellington Training College staff, and, as Mr. Fathers found himself unable to continue to act as temporary inspector in 1940, Mr. C. A. Noble, M.A., B.Sc., Mathematics and Science Master at the Christchurch West High School, was also given a temporary appointment. Both Miss Browne and Mr. Noble resigned their positions at the close of the year. Routine Work. Inspection work was fortunately interrupted very little by epidemics or other causes. Full inspections of seventeen secondary or combined schools were made in the earlier part of the year, sometimes in collaboration with the Technical School Inspectors. Twenty-eight registered private secondary schools—a larger number than usual —were also inspected and reported on. Visits were also paid to the secondary departments of thirty-four district high schools in the Auckland Education District and to the secondary branch of the Correspondence School. All secondary and combined schools were visited in the latter half of the year in connection with the annual classification of teachers and the award of Higher Leaving Certificates. Notices of appeal against their classification were received from four teachers ; three appeals were withdrawn and one (heard in Auckland) was dismissed. School Rolls and Staffing. No change has taken place in the number of secondary and combined schools, which remains at forty-six (seven of them combined schools). On Ist March their aggregate roll was 19,787, and as the corresponding roll in the preceding year had been 20,017 it will be seen that there was a distinct fall, due no doubt in part to the disturbance in industry and the labour market caused by the war. No fewer than twenty-one secondary and two combined schools experienced a fall in attendance. The number of pupils resident in school hostels fell, slightly, from 1,744 in 1939 to 1,729. It is interesting to observe that the hostels have not yet exceeded the peak figure for boarders that was reached in the predepression days of 1929. The system of boarding-allowances instituted in 1.937 has proved of immense benefit to children living in remote localities, and the assistance provided by this means continues to be eagerly sought. Last year, however, the number of allowances granted fell from 1,838 (in 1939) to 1,736, a decrease that was probably connected with the shortage of labour on forms brought about by war conditions. Whangarei High School, it may be added, again headed the list with 113 recipients of allowances, followed closely by Gisborne High School and New Plymouth Boys' High School. The number of registered private secondary schools increases steadily year by year. During 1940 Chilton St. James School, Lower Hutt; the Cathedral Grammar School, Christchurch ; and St. Patrick's Convent, Teschemakers, were added to the list, which now comprises fifty-nine schools. Their aggregate roll on Ist March was 5,523 (5,409 in 1939). Public Examinations. The Public Service Examination, conducted by the Department for the Public Service Commissioner, has this last year experienced a very marked advance in popularity, the number of candidates increasing by nearly 37 per cent, (from 1,874 to 2,558). This development was not unexpected, owing to the Commissioner's efforts during the year to interest pupils in the Public Service as a career and also to the fact that girls were once again being admitted to the Service. Successful candidates in this examination numbered 1,710. The number of candidates who sat the School Certificate Examination in conjunction with the University Entrance Examination was 4,698 (4,504 in 1939) ; the number of those, however, who sat the former as a single examination was, as usual, very small, only 342. This number, small as it is, is easily the best entry received since the certificate was instituted in 1934. The reason and the remedy for the present unsatisfactory position of the certificate were dealt with in my last report, and there is no need to repeat the remarks there made. The total number of certificates awarded was 2,423 (2,569 in 1939) and 893 candidates obtained partial passes (860 in 1939). There was a distinct fall in the number of Higher Leaving Certificates awarded to pupils from secondary and combined schools, only 920 being issued, as against 1,009 in the preceding year. In addition, 271 were granted to pupils from endowed and registered private secondary schools. These certificates, which confer upon the recipient the right to hold a University Bursary for a period of four years, are awarded entirely under a system of accrediting, the application of which demands careful inquiry and attention from the Inspectors. University Entrance and Accrediting. The University Senate has recently approved of a scheme of accrediting whereby pupils from certain approved schools who have completed at least four years of secondary education may be recommended by their Principals for a pass in the University Entrance Examination. The examination, however, will still continue to be held for the benefit of those who are not pupils at an approved school, for those who are not attending a school or, if attending, have not been recommended or accredited, and for those who have not completed their fourth year of schooling. The scheme undoubtedly has advantages —it will ease the burden of examination work borne by the University and it will free a large number of individual candidates from the ordeal of an external test.

E.—2,

On the other hand, it will not release the schools from the domination of the University Entrance Examination, as curricula and courses will still have to conform to Entrance requirements. It does not satisfy the demand for a more suitable type of general examination to meet the requirements of business houses, the Public Service, and the professions. This is really the crux of the question. University Entrance is far too narrow in its scope for the general purposes for which it has, unfortunately, come to be used. What is needed is an examination which covers the work of technical as well as secondary schools and opens up a career for all types of talents and not for some only. The School Certificate Examination was instituted in 1934 with that end in view, and I am firmly of the opinion that the only means of securing freedom in our secondary schools' curricula is to abolish the University Entrance Examination at its present standard and to substitute for it another demanding a standard of attainment that would be reached in one year of advanced study after passing the School Certificate Examination. Accrediting could and should be resorted to at the higher stage with advantage, but I doubt whether there will be much benefit to secondary education in this country in the Senate's present scheme. University Bursaries. The conditions governing the award of all classes of University national have been revised, and a comprehensive new set of regulations was approved by the Hon. the Minister during the year and is now in operation. The chief improvements have been in the direction of making the tenure and the emoluments of the "special" bursaries (i.e., those in agriculture, engineering, fine arts, and home science) uniform throughout, in extending the tenure of all types of bursaries to four years (five years in the case of medical students) without the necessity of a special application for the extension to the fourth year, and in liberalizing the pre-requisite qualifications for candidates for engineering and agricultural bursaries. An innovation has been the imposition of a common maximum age limit of twenty-five years for candidates for any of the special bursaries. Expenditure on University bursaries has continued to increase rapidly ; the amount spent on all types in 1940 was £34,917, as against £31,232 in 1939 and £27,644 in 1938. There will probably be a further increase during 1941, but afterwards the expenditure should remain stabilized at about £35,000 per annum. The total number of bursars rose from 1,465 in 1939 to 1,623 in 1940. The great majority of these held ordinary bursaries (1,360), entitling them to University fees up to £20 per annum. One hundred and sixty-seven (as against 136) held the more valuable boarding bursaries, and 96 held special bursaries. Competition for these last continues to be keen, especially for those in agriculture and in home science. For the eighteen home-science bursaries awarded at the close of the year there were seventy fully-qualified candidates, and the task of selection was by no means an easy one. Developments in the Schools. During the past year more than the usual number of changes have taken place in the headships of our secondary schools. Christchurch has been particularly affected by these, as all four of the secondary schools in that centre will commence the present year with a new Principal. The retirement of Mr. 6. F. Lancaster from the Christchurch Boys' High School, of Miss P. M. Clark from the Christchurch Girls' High School, and of Miss A. Eastwood from the Southland Girls' High School is recorded with regret and with appreciation of their years of fine service. Experimentation with regard to curricula and courses is still in evidence in many of the schools, but its progress has been hindered of late by the difficulty in securing qualified teachers. In this connection attention may be drawn to the increasing popularity of general biology as a school subject. Last year no fewer than 2,323 pupils in secondary and combined schools were studying it, as against only 755 in 1937. The recent admission of biology as a subject in the Public Service Entrance Examination will serve to strengthen its position on the curricula of the schools. Owing largely to the enthusiasm and the patient labour of a special committee of teachers of French in the Wellington area, and through the willing co-operation of the Director of Broadcasting, Professor Boyd-Wilson, and the French Consul in Wellington, a long-cherished scheme of providing a regular series of broadcasts in French by a Native of France has been satisfactorily arranged for 194 L The talks will be given once a week at an hour chosen by the schools to suit the convenience of the majority, and are to commence in March, 1941. The committee is to be heartily commended on its success in inaugurating the scheme. It will undoubtedly be warmly welcomed in those schools that have facilities for receiving broadcasts. The position with regard.to school libraries remains the same. The grant of £1,000 for postprimary schools, referred to in my last report, was repeated in 1940 and, though small, was much appreciated by the schools. The question of vocational guidance in post-primary schools has again been brought to notice by the publication by the Council for Educational Research of Mr. McQueen's survey entitled "Vocational Guidance in New Zealand." The advantages and the disadvantages associated with the present system of employment of vocational guidance officers and careers teachers in the schools have been fully investigated by Mr. McQueen, and his conclusions are worthy of attention. At the present time there is only one vocational guidance officer in a secondary school, but there are about eighteen careers teachers. Secondary teachers are not altogether satisfied with the situation regarding these latter, inasmuch as in many cases part of the normal teaching duties of the careers teacher must be taken over by his colleagues, whilst he continues to receive his full salary, together with a considerable additional emolument. The position is a somewhat difficult one. During the year there has been considerable building activity in connection with secondary schools. The new technical block at the Gore High School was completed and is now ready for occupation; additional class-rooms were built for the Hamilton High School, as also two new laboratories at the Timaru Boys' High School and a new woodwork room at the Napier Boys' High School. The rebuilding of Marlborough College was also completed. The new hostel at the Napier Girls' High School, to replace the one destroyed by the earthquake, was completed before the end of the year, and additions were made to the New Plymouth Boys' High School hostel. A new Principal's residence was erected at Nelson College. Further class-room accommodation was in process of erection at Palmerston North Girls' and New Plymouth Boys' High Schools. At Whangarei a new hostel for the girls is going up, and a beginning has been made with the new girls' school. The rebuilding of Nelson College has also been proceeding steadily.

The War. The war, as is only natural, has continued to affect the daily life of our schools in many ways. Developments in teaching methods and technique have, in the main, been hindered ; this is especially the case where books and equipment are concerned, and the position will undoubtedly become worse. Staffing difficulties in the boys' and mixed schools created by the absence of teachers on overseas service have been intensified by the calling-up of many men to serve as officers in the Territorial camps and by the employment of others as education officers by the Air Department. There is already a distinct shortage of qualified teachers of science and mathematics. So far only one woman has been employed on the staff of a boys' school, so that the position in this respect is not as acute as it was at the close of the last war, when there were no fewer than eighteen women assistants in boys' schools. At the close of the year thirty-four assistants were away on active service, one Principal and thirty assistants were absent on Territorial service, and eleven assistants were temporarily employed by the Air Department as education officers. Incidentally, four Principals of registered private secondary schools were also absent with the Expeditionary Force. In several centres teachers are continuing to render valuable assistance in training recruits for the Air Force in mathematics and physics. In connection with the war a word of praise is due to secondary-school pupils throughout the country who have continued their patriotic efforts in raising funds, in supplying comforts for the troops, and in making and adapting garments for sufferers through the war, particularly for the Lady Galway Refugee Committees. Conclusion. As this is the last annual report that I shall have the honour to write, I had intended to give a brief review of the developments in the scope, the technique, and the spirit of secondary-school teaching during the eighteen years I have been Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools, together with a survey of the progress of the schools and of the chief administrative developments during the period. I find, however, that this is impossible in the space available to me in these days of paper shortage. I wish briefly to place on record, however, my firm conviction that there has been a definite, and, on the whole, continuous progress towards more liberal curricula, towards wider freedom of choice in courses, and towards more human methods of securing the interest of the pupil in his work. The old formal methods of teaching English, for example, have disappeared ; no longer are children required to learn about poems or other works, and even to criticize them, without knowing them, at first hand ; a love of reading and an appreciation, of good literature have been fostered and encouraged. Throughout the period under review the Inspectors have consistently encouraged this liberalism, especially in. such subjects as English, history, geography, and science, and the progress that has been effected is in no small measure due to their persuasion and influence. One other point to be emphasized is that there has been during the period a very marked improvement in the general standard of efficiency among the teachers ; they now enter the service much better equipped than formerly, they appear to be more interested in their work, and they are keener to improve their own efficiency. There is no doubt that as regards quality the schools are better staffed than they were eighteen years ago. There remain problems to be faced in the future. There is need, for example, for improved methods in our physical training, especially in. the boys' schools, and. here, no doubt, the valuable help and direction of Mr. Smithells will be available, in the near future ; the dental examination of pupils should be extended to secondary schools as soon as circumstances permit; financial assistance for libraries is very urgently needed ; and the whole question of the organization of vocational guidance needs careful consideration at an early date. No satisfactory solution of the difficult problem of training secondary-school teachers in a scattered community such, as ours has as yet been obtained. The School Certificate has not yet received the recognition due to it, nor have secondaryschool curricula yet been freed from the domination of the University Entrance Examination. The broadening of curricula and the multiplication of courses in the schools have revealed the need for a more generous staffing scale. The matter of post-primary teachers' salaries and the possibility or desirability of the complete co-ordination of the post-primary branches of education are also questions for the near future. The solutions of some of the above problems were already well on their way when the war, and its attendant financial difficulties, compelled a postponement of their consideration. Finally, I have to express my sincere appreciation of the loyal co-operation of my colleagues, both present and past, throughout the period in which I have been Chief Inspector. I have, &c., E. J. Pare, Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools. The Director of Education.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Str,— I have the honour to present my report for the year ending 31st December, 1940. The inspecting staff remained unchanged throughout the year, except that Mrs. M. A. Boocock, Supervisor of Domestic Subjects, resigned her position as from 30th September. The vacant position has not been filled, but is held in abeyance until such time as transport facilities may be restored so as to enable the Supervisor to visit remote schools where the greatest need of help is felt. Great inconvenience and undoubtedly some loss of efficiency is occasioned by the fact that the staff Inspectors of Technical Schools cannot be accommodated in the Government Buildings, which houses the administrative and clerical staffs. It is true that these officers do spend a considerable time in the field, but the time they spend at headquarters is by no means inconsiderable and is of the greatest possible value only if the closest contact is maintained with the administrative and other officers of the branches to which they are attached. It is freely admitted that all officers concerned havo co-operated to the fullest extent in mitigating the inconveniences necessarily inherent in such a division of forces, but they look forward earnestly to the time when they will be reunited in one office building.

The work of the schools has proceeded normally during the year, the effects of war conditions not making themselves felt to any unduly disturbing degree. Some teachers were granted leave of absence for service overseas, and many more were granted leave for Territorial training and for the Air Training Scheme. The supply of relieving teachers has been so far equal to the necessities of the situation, but all indications point to increasing strain as the man-power of the Dominion is mobilized for war service. There was great demand for juvenile labour throughout the year, and many schools found difficulty in supplying the demands ; others found their rolls seriously depleted towards the close of the year. War Work. A definite move towards the establishment of training classes for skilled labour in various trades was made in June, 1940, and a representative committee was set up to consider and report to the Government. As a result of the activities of this committee, training classes in engineering practice (including welding) were started at the Wellington Technical School in November, 1940. Some fifty persons were selected for training to cover a period of sixteen weeks, more or less, and the school activities were so reorganized as to leave the workshops free for five hours per day for the purpose of this training course, without dispossessing the ordinary technical high school pupils and the technical school evening pupils. The training given was either in fitting and turning or in electric and acetone welding. Great credit is due to the Board of the Wellington Technical School and to its Principal and the staff ol the Engineering Department for their whole-hearted co-operation with the committee in order to facilitate the establishment of these classes, which involved a great deal of detailed and intricate work. The scheme was inaugurated as an experimental one at Wellington, but, as its success seemed assured as soon as it was started, arrangements were made to extend the training scheme to other centres. To this end regulations were gazetted for the setting-up of a Dominion Auxiliary Workers' Training Council, which was immediately convened and set to work to extend the training scheme to other centres, the next ones in order being Christchurch, Auckland, and Dunedin. Manufacture of Gauges. In addition to the work of training, certain technical schools —namely Wellington Technical School, Auckland Technical School, and the Wairarapa College —were asked to undertake at short notice the manufacture of gauges urgently required for munition work. This piece of work was successfully accomplished, and much more would have been done had the necessity arisen. Courses in Infant Care. An experiment of some importance was carried out during the year at the Papanui (Christchurch) Technical School, whereby senior girls conducted a practical course in infant care and child nurture under the leadership of an expert in these subjects whose work in this and other post-primary schools in Canterbury was sponsored by the Christchurch Branch of the New Education Fellowship Trustees, who made a grant towards the salary of the teacher. The Government assisted also by means of a grant for the necessary furniture and equipment of the room, which was fitted up as a nursery school. Reports indicate that the experiment was a useful one, interesting not only the girls who took part in the course, but also many parents who observed the classes in action and had an opportunity of discussing some of their personal problems with the teacher. The experiment is regarded as a significant one both educationally and socially. Notable Additions to Sites, Buildings, and Equipment during the Year. Pukekohe Technical School. -A grant was made of part-cost of the assembly hall, which was almost completed by the end of the year. Hawera Technical School. —A grant was made for alterations to class-room accommodation and to the heating system, and a start was made upon the erection of an assembly hall. Stratford Technical School. - A new home-science room and a woodwork-room were provided by Government grant, and these were expected to be ready for occupation by the beginning of the year. Napier Boys' High (Combined) School. —A new workshop block was constructed to replace the block destroyed by fire the previous year. The workshops and laboratories have been re-equipped as far as possible in present circumstances, and work in them has been resumed. Wanganui Technical School.—A grant was approved for alterations to the home-science, engineering, and art rooms in order to bring them up to modern standards. Feilding Technical School. —Additional dormitory accommodation at the school hostel was provided, and a grant was made for the necessary material for the erection of a metalwork-shop. Wellington Technical School. —A piece of land was bought by the Government for an extension of the site of the school ; at present it will be used as a playing-area until the future needs of the school as regards buildings are clearly seen. A grant was made to convert an old building on the site into a welding-shop and to provide the necessary equipment. As a result, not only is an excellent detached welding-shop provided, but space has been set free in the main workshop block for a new machine-shop, which was urgently necessary. Timaru Technical School. —An addition to the site on which was situated an old house was cleared and prepared for future extension of school buildings. Dunedin Technical School. Plans were drawn and approved for a new domestic-science block. Grants were made for alterations to the engineering workshops and for additional equipment. Christchurch Technical School (Papanui Branch). -A grant was made for ceiling the workshops. I have, &c., F. C. Renyard, Superintendent of Technical Education. The Director of Education, Wellington.
