EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS (MR. G. E. OVERTON) FOR THE YEAR 1942 Biennial Plan— Some effects of the introduction of a biennial instead of an annual system of school inspection can now be observed. Inspectors state that they have a sense of freedom, enabling service to be given in a wider capacity. Personal with teachers on their work and on school problems, which has replaced the former piactice of supplying written comments after the Inspectors had left the schools, is proving of mutual benefit to both teachers and Inspectors, and better relationships are being engendered. With respect to co-ordination of subject content, adaptation of courses to pupils needs, development of desirable attitudes on the part of the children, and survey of general efficiency, the larger type of school can now b'e reviewed as a single unit and not as a number'of units which' the older form of inspection, with its individual notes to each staff member, often implied. One district reports that up to three days have been spent by Inspectors in certain sole-charge schools needing special assistance, a progressive measure not possible under the annual system. Inspectors also can find time for the study of educational literature, and to meet not only groups of teachers, but School Committees, parent-teacher associations, and various bodies interested in education. The freedom enjoyed is leading to the introduction of a degree of specialization within the Inspectorate in such phases as education of handicapped children, infant _ work, and the function of secondary departments of district high schools. In a number of cases, primary Inspectors have joined secondary and technical Inspectors in visits to post-primary schools with a view to obtaining a better articulation of the work of primary and post-primary schools. Closer liaison is also being made with training colleges. As a result of all these changes, the educational interests of the children themselves are better served. Interesting Developments in Schools. —Teachers and children in numbers of schools are making wider contacts through the extension of inter-school movements. Smaller country schools visit a larger country school for periods varying from one day to a week. Lessons and activities not possible in small schools are enjoyed by all at the larger school. In one case as many as eleven teachers visited a centrally situated school to observe and discuss methods of 'teaching and samples of children's work. There has been in one district a revival of the " adopted school " plan, in which a " parent " school assists an " adopted" school in every way to improve its efficiency. The inter-school movements are not confined to country schools. In one town mutual visits among larger schools proved a profitable and pleasurable experience.

E.—2

Curriculum and the Child.—The syllabus in arithmetic has been revised with a view not only to eliminating the merely pedantic portions, but also to relating the work more to the actual conditions of life. There has been considerable adjustment of more difficult phases—e.g.. formal drills have been removed from the infant stage; the harder processes of subtraction and division have been deferred approximately one year throughout. Practical work in weights and measures, shopping games, and social arithmetic in the form of projects or exercises based on civic, industrial, and family needs arc featured. Teachers are being asked to experiment with the new syllabus. It will not be to adopt the syllabus for all schools until new text-books and adequate equipment are provided. In two education districts considerable advance has been made with experimental work, and the time usually devoted to arithmetic has been reduced to allow *time for greater attention to other essential studies. The curriculum as a whole is being better integrated in numbers of schools. Subject walls are gradually breaking down, and reduced intensity of study in certain formal phases has permitted an enrichment of curricula!* content in music, verse, art, crafts, and physical education. The whole gamut of school subjects is gradually becoming more a stream of activities in which the child is given an opportunity to develop through his own efforts as far as possible. His reaction is noticeable in brighter personality, freer speech, greater resourcefulness, and better spirit of co-operation. There remains, perhaps, the inculcation of greater civic pride, expressed in increased respect for and care of property, public and private. Ability grouping, in which children are grouped according to respective abilities in various phases of the curriculum and given work of a difficulty commensurate with capacity, has made some progress, but not sufficient. It is in this respect that intermediate schools have a great value. The services of specialist teachers enhances this advantage. The courses of work in the district high schools have been, restricted largely by requirements of external examinations. With elimination of the compulsory foreign language for University Entrance, and provision of a wide range of subjects for the School Certificate Examination, it should be possible to provide well-balanced courses, both for those undertaking higher education and those completing their education at the post-primary stage. These schools are, within limits, doing really good work, but with the removal of a too-prevalent academic bias, can function more successfully. Infant Methods. —Considerable interest has been shown in this branch of work. During the year a conference of the advisers to infant departments was held, and the chief subjects discussed were premature teaching of reading and number, activity period work, and the use of play-way aids, including manipulative toys. The New Zealand Council for Educational Research willingly helped in investigating the problem of readiness for reading and number, and the type of experience that should precede more systematic teaching at the appropriate time. There are in various parts of the Dominion some keen, progressive infant-teachers who have successfully introduced new methods in their classes. Teachers from other schools or districts have visited these departments. One of these features is the activity period, in which the children, through play and movement involving the use of apparatus or toys, acquire the general background of training for formal instruction later. In some classes rest periods have been introduced, particular attention being given to the youngest children. Correspondence School.—ln 1943 the school celebrates its twenty-first birthday. The total enrolment to date exceeds 20,000 students, and the current roll, 3,300. The staff now numbers 120 teachers and clerical officers. The Correspondence School most successfully provides educational facilities for those who cannot attend regular schools. The post-primary courses are well- differentiated, and it is surprising how well commercial subjects, art, crafts, needlework, and dressmaking can be taught by correspondence. Weekly broadcast lessons by members of the staff are appreciated by the children. There is a large circulating library; and a wide range of clubs and societies, extending from garden circle and animal welfare to story-writers and international affairs, provides for the special interests of the children. War conditions have prevented the holding of vacation schools, which many children formerly attended, and also the continuing of the system of visiting teachers, whereby a substantial measure" of personal contact was maintained between the staff and the pupils. Worthy of mention is the special work undertaken in the education of crippled and other disabled children. Recently the Headmaster received from a pupil who had lost the use of tier hands a letter of thanks neatly typed by the use of her toes. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS (Me. E. CARADUS) FOR THE YEAR 1942 Staff. —During the year there was no change in the personnel of the Inspectorate. At the end of "the year, however, Miss Hetherington, who had been a member of the secondary Inspectorate since March, 1926, retired on superannuation and was replaced by Miss' L. A. S. Hurle, M.A., Principal of Timaru Girls' High School. Miss Hurle took up her duties in February of this year.

Bursaries.—Towards the end of 1942 the Health Department established a system of medical and dental bursaries. With these awards the only University course of a scientific nature for which a special bursary is not now provided is that in pure science. It is impossible for a student to attack this course satisfactorily except as a full-time student, and it is already obvious that, with the attractions offered by the other special bursaries, fewer students are now attempting a pure science course. In a short time this will undoubtedly have a veiy detrimental effect upon the supply of science-teachers in boys' secondary schools and upon the teaching of this subject. I do feel, therefore, that the time has now arrived when we should award special bursaries in pure science, as is already being done in other courses of a similar nature. University Entrance Examination and Accrediting.—The arrangements in connection with the new University Entrance Examination and accrediting are now well advanced. The prescriptions for the new examination in the fourteen subjects approved by the Senate have now been passed by the Entrance Board and, with in most cases only minor amendments, by the Academic Board and by the Senate. The Senate has also decided that the new scheme will come into operation in 1944. Candidates for University Entrance who are not accredited but who have qualified for the School Certificate will he required to present themselves in three subjects only and to pass therein. One of these subjects must be English, unless the candidate has already passed in English at the School Certificate stage. A candidate who has not qualified for the School Certificate will be required to pass also in two subjects of the School Certificate Examination other than the three which he is presenting for the University Entrance Examination. The Senate has also approved of the various amendments to the existing statutes necessary to give effect to its decisions. The main point still requiring clarification is the question of prerequisites for the different University Courses. The War.—As indicated in the previous report, the war year 1942 caused greater disruption in the secondary-school system than any year which preceded it. The outbreak of hostilities with Japan meant immediately that many secondary-school teachers other than those already serving overseas were called up for service in this country, while many of the schools were taken over either for military or hospital purposes. The schools chiefly concerned were Whangarei High School, Palmerston' North Boys' High School, Palmerston North Girls' High School, Wellington College, and Marlborough High School. Palmerston North Boys' High School, Palmerston North Girls' High School, and Wellington College were handed back during or at the end of the first term. The occupation of Marlborough High School, by the hospital authorities lasted throughout the year, and it was only at the beginning of this year that the school again entered into possession. (At one stage school classes were distributed over some thirteen different points.) At Whangarei the large block usually occupied by the boys and the; intermediate department are still in use as emergency hospitals. In addition to these losses of buildings, a further loss was sustained at Wairarapa College, which suffered considerable damage from the earthquake in the middle of the year, with the result that the front brick block was partially out of commission for the remainder of the year. The calling-up of teachers naturally resulted in an increase in the staffing difficulties outlined in last year's report, all boys' and mixed secondary schools being affected to a greater or lesser degree. An increasing number of women teachers was employed in boys' schools (at the end of the year, twenty-seven). Teachers of mathematics and science were still in short supply, but the position grew somewhat less difficult towards the end of the year, when teaching was declared an essential industry. The easing of the military situation in the Pacific also helped the staffing problem, in that Appeal Boards more readily gave exemption to teachers for whom Boards appealed. The calling-up of secondary-school teachers for service in the Army was not wholly a loss as far as the educational system was concerned, for with the establishment towards the end of the year of the Army Education and Welfare Service many of these teachers became available, for work with that service. Already, of course, many of them had been utilized in the Royal New Zealand Air Force educational scheme. In December of last year 61 secondary teachers were on service overseas and 104 on service in New Zealand in one or other of the Armed Forces, a total of over 39 per cent, of male secondary teachers. The other forms of assistance being rendered by schools (both staffs and pupils) to the war effort continued as in 1941. Boys attaining the age of eighteen years were affected to still greater degree than previously. Until the entry of Japan into the war any boy turning eighteen, and thus becoming liable for Territorial service, was granted a postponement of training until the end of the year on the grounds of hardship if he were sitting an outside examination or endeavouring to qualify for a Higher Leaving Certificate. With the entry of Japan, such postponements were granted only in the case of pupils sitting the University Scholarships or Bursary Examinations, and boys intending to sit the University Entrance Examination or candidates for Higher Leaving Certificates obtained no such exemption. In the case of Higher Leaving Certificate candidates, the

3

E.-2

situation was partially met by the Department agreeing to award Higher Leaving Certificates to candidates called up for military service who had been in attendance at school for at least half the school year and whose standard of work was considered satisfactory. Many University Entrance candidates, however, were called up throughout the year. The situation of these boys was obviously a most difficult one, as few of them will ' feel inclined to take up study again for this examination when they are released from military service. Partial relief was obtained by the National Service Department agreeing to recommend to Appeal Boards that University Entrance candidates who were called up in No. 17 ballot and were thus still at school in September, 1942, should not be called up for military service until Ist January, 1943. These lads were thus given the opportunity of completing their year's work and of sitting for the University Entrance Examination at the end of it. Already in 1942 suggestions were being made to the Rehabilitation Board in regard to the provision of educational facilities for discharged servicemen, and at the time of writing there had been drawn up and put into operation a comprehensive scheme in which all classes of educational establishments, including University colleges and private correspondence schools, had a part. This question belongs, however, rather to 1943 than to 1942. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION (Mr. F. C. RENYARD) FOR THE YEAR 1942 School Rolls and Staffing.—There was a considerable fall in day-school rolls throughout the country due largely to abnormal withdrawals before the completion of course owing to prevailing industrial conditions. The fall in rolls almost exactly compensated for loss of teachers entering the Armed Forces, and thus was prevented what might have been an embarrassing over-staffing situation. Rolls have fallen still more in evening schools, the drop being as much as 50 per cent, in certain schools. The chief causes are the withdrawal of men for the Armed Forces, overtime, difficulties of transport, and reluctance of women and girls to attend evening school under restricted lighting-conditions. Examinations.—lt was decided to abandon both the City and Guilds of London Examinations usually held by the Department, and the N.Z. Technological Examinations for the duration of the war. In the case of the London City and Guilds Examinations the chief consideration was the difficulty of ensuring safe and prompt delivery from overseas of the question papers and of the examinees' work and scripts, A suggestion that the papers should be marked in New Zealand and provisional awards made was not agreed to by the London City and Guilds Institute, The Technological Examinations system was abandoned because of the few candidates offering and of the general difficulties ot holding examinations for the most part in practical subjects in present war conditions. It is hoped to reinstate the examination systems in an improved form as soon as circumstances perm it. Direct War Activities.—Classes in connection with the Air Training Corps have been established and actively carried on at many technical schools, and the results obtained have been satisfactory. The training of auxiliary workers for the engineering trades was carried on at two technical schools during the year, but it has become evident that the source of supply of trainees lias almost completely dried up, and the classes will in future be conducted in connection with schemes for rehabilitation. A class for training women for light mechanical operations in connection wth gauge and tool making at the Physical Laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research was held at a technical school during the third term; the results, however, were not conclusive. A refresher course in mechanical engineering for Army personnel was held at the Palmerston North Technical School during the summer vacation. This proved a highly satisfactory venture and received the commendation of the Army Department. During the year, and at the request of the Air Department, a large number of scale model aeroplanes—both of Allied and enemy machines—were constructed at technical schools. This proved to be a difficult and most exacting task, but it was performed with enthusiasm by both teachers and pupils, and already many hundreds of planes have been delivered to the Air Department. Considerable sums of money for patriotic purposes have been raised by the schools, and many contributions in kind of knitted wear and comforts for fighting men have been made. All schools keep in touch with their old boys in the Services as far as possible, and in most cases parcels are regularly sent. Sites and Buildings.—ln August last a disastrous fire in the Southland Technical School did considerable damage to both buildings and equipment in the woodwork and engineering workshops. Energetic measures were taken to restore the damage and to recondition the plant, and the shops are now in use again. In Auckland additional land was purchased on the eastern side of St. Paul's. Street opposite the technical school workshops. At present it is being partly used as a muchneeded breathing-space for the pupils, but ultimately it will form part of a considered scheme of development for school activities.
