REPORT

When 1 took over the portfolio of Education in the middle of December, 1949, the academic year had virtually come to an end and the financial year was drawing to its close. From this it followed that plans for this period had already been made, the constructional work was naturally well in hand, and the revenue voted by Parliament for the year had been expended or committed to a very considerable extent. It seemed to me that, as a new Minister, my first duty should be to make myself as familiar as I could with the working of the system for which T was for the time being responsible, and also with the method of application of the considerable sums of public money entrusted to my care. The first thing that impressed me was the continuous, and very marked increase, in the amount of money that had been expended upon education during the preceding ten or twelve years. lam very far from thinking that money in itself means exactly the same thing as education and that the more one spends the better will be the system secured'by that expenditure. Prom the political angle, it is always easy to say that there shall be no restrictions upon outlay save .only those which are imposed by the amount of labour and materials that are available. The people who work very hard to provide the funds that are collected and spent by Governments are, in my view, entitled to an acceptable assurance from us that their money will be carefully and wisely spent, that it will be reasonably productive of good, and that every effort will be made to prevent or stop anything in the nature of extravagance or waste. As I took office almost at the end of a financial year, it stands to reason that my estimates for the current period are conditioned and determined by the policies, plans, and promises of my predecessors. Under such circumstances, there is not much that I can do in the way of reviewing or changing them in this my first year of office : but I intend to scrutinize them very carefully with a view to their radical improvement next year. I believe it to be my duty to make certain that every item of expenditure in my Department is truly justifiable in the interests of sound education and that it will be so expended as to give a reasonable guarantee that this objective will be secured. During my term of office, I mean to work diligently and unswervingly with that end constantly in view. In the preparation of this report, the officers of my Department have wisely refrained from expressing themselves as being completely satisfied with the working and the results of our system. For, after all, we are in a very real sense the " salesmen " of a product. It would be natural for us to say all we could in its favour ; but it would be better policy to take notice of the opinions and reactions of the customer. That is a course I propose to follow. When those who live or work with the children we are training consider that they can speak in glowing terms of the results of our instruction, then, indeed, will it be the time for us to feel sure that a good service is being given and that oiir task is being well and adequately performed. Accommodation A problem of very great urgency that confronts uts —as it confronted my predecessors — is the provision of the necessary accommodation for pupils in both primary and postprimary schools. In the two last reports of my predecessor in office, mention was made of this subject, and, in the report for the year 1948, detailed figures were given showing how the increased number of births in recent years would affect school populations in our schools in the immediate future. It would serve a useful purpose if the tables in

E—l

the report for the year 1948 were brought up to date, and, accordingly, the following figures give the latest data and estimates of school population as a guide to what the over-all picture in public and Maori school enrolments will be in the next few years.

If these additional pupils were to be accommodated in all the public schools in proportion to present enrolments, no great problems would arise. This is not the case, however, and investigation has shown that because of shifts in population from locality to locality, new schools of relatively large size will be required in certain areas. Not only will schools be required, but the equipment and facilities for the schools also, and the additional teachers to staff them will be necessary. The Education Boards throughout the Dominion are giving ready co-operation in investigating the needs for additional accommodation, and with their help I feel confident that the needs will be met. In some cases prefabricated class-rooms are, in the meantime, providing very necessary temporary accommodation. A perusal of the figures in the following table shows that, at the post-primary stage, an equally pressing situation faces the Government in accommodating the steadilv increasing number of pupils. The roll numbers (omitting part-time students) in public post-primary schools for the years 1944 to 1949 were as follows : 1944 .. .. 41,000 1947 .. .. 45,600 1945 .. .. 44,700 1948 .. .. 45,600 1946 .. .. 45,400 1949 .. .. 46,900 Estimated roll numbers for those schools for the years 1951 to 1956 are as follows : 1951 .. .. 48,400 1954 .. .. 56,700 1952 .. .. 50,300 1955 .. .. 60,900 1953 ..• .. 52,800 1956 .. .. 62,200 A close investigation into the incidence of the increases in particular areas has been made, and as a result new schools will have to be built in some of the suburban districts in both the North and South Islands, while in other places additional class-room accommodation will have to be provided. While in the past, shortages of essential materials necessary in the construction of schools has resulted in a slowing down in the rate of construction, this should not prove to be quite so serious a factor in the future. However, the availability of certain materials at the times that they are wanted may still have a bearing on the class of material in which a school is built. The essential point, however, to be kept in mind is that a large building programme lies ahead and that in its completion a fast rate of construction will have to be maintained if schools are to be ready for occupation when they are actually needed.

Primary Education The work of the revision of the syllabus of instruction was continued during the year, and reports from committees, on which teachers and officers of the Education Department were represented, have been submitted in the subjects of handcraft, handwriting, and homecraft, for the consideration of teachers. As soon as the views of teachers have been received, the whole of the syllabus, completely revised, will be issued to the schools. The preparation of text-books proceeded during the year, and some of the series of infant readers purchased by the Education Department for use in the schools will become available for distribution in 1950. Emergency measures were taken during the year to meet the shortage, of teachers, which was felt most in the North Island. The early certification of probationary assistants, the employment of superammitants and of married women in relieving positions,'the discouragement of long periods of leave, and part-time employment of married women teachers on a half-day basis, were measures adopted to keep vacant positions at a minimum. In order to meet future staffing requirements, the five training colleges were taxed to the limit of their capacities, and 1,225 students were admitted. Even with record numbers undergoing training, the supply of teachers would not be sufficient to meet the rapidly increasing school population in the years immediately ahead. The decision was made to institute a special one-year training course and invite applications from people over twenty-one years of age. The response was greater than our most optimistic hopes, and national selection committees chose 300 from nearly 1,000 applicants. In the work of preparing the course, the syllabus of studies and the experience gained m England with similar courses was found to be most helpful. Post-primary Education There have been no new developments during the year in the school curriculum. The schools have had a task of some magnitude in recent years in absorbing an increasing percentage of primary-school leavers, and in adjusting their work to the needs of these new pupils. The schools continue to prepare large numbers of pupils for the School Certificate Examination in a wide range of subjects. This examination is being more widely accepted ; but a large number of pupils remain for one or more years in the sixth forms to qualify for entrance to the University or for the higher certificates of the Education Department. The number of students reaching the top classes of secondary schools is increasing ; and there is a pleasing unanimity of opinion among the Inspectors that their work is of a high standard. This improvement is all to the good ; for not only does it mean a higher standard amongst those who enter the University (and the changes m the Entrance Examination have helped), but it should be even more widely felt m the community. Ido not wish to imply, however, that we should be satisfied ; it is evident enough that all do not reach the high standard of the best. At the same time, it must ever be our duty to see that the best are not kept back by those who are not so able. Our standard must not be set by mediocrity. The University has, on occasions, complained of the lack of general education among its undergraduates rather than of any shortcomings in special subjects ; and it has discussed the advisability of introducing cultural subjects into degree courses that are highly technical. The University has therefore required, as from 1950, a pass in four subjects instead of three at University Entrance standard, and has made English a compulsory subject. This, and the five-subject Entrance Scholarship which will follow in two years' time, should help to ensure a broader basic education for all proceeding to the University.

The principal educational development in the past year has been in the training of apprentices. Dominion Apprenticeship Committees have helped to produce orders, which in many cases require apprentices to attend at a school providing technical instruction. Particularly in the motor engineering and plumbing trades, the attendance of apprentices at schools in working-hours has become part of the system of training, and has had the goodwill of both employers and employees. There can be little doubt that in these days of specialization in the workshops, schools can provide something for apprentices which the employer has little time or opportunity to give. The educational authorities have given a great deal of assistance in providing accommodation, equipment, .and staff, and in giving some training to part-time trades instructors. A necessary concomitant of apprentice training is the Trades Certification Board which was set up in 1949, and has now completed a useful year's work. Its function is to lay down suitable syllabuses of instruction in the various trades, and to arrange for the examination and certification of apprentices and tradesmen. It will do this in •co-operation with the representatives of employers and employees, and has already come to satisfactory arrangements for examinations in four trades, namely motor ■engineering, electrical trades, carpentry and joinery, and plumbing. In all matters relating to apprenticeship, officers of the Education Department have worked in co-operation with those of the Department of Labour and Employment; and this has made possible a speedy development of the work in the schools. Ido not forget, however, that it is upon the Boards, Principals, and staffs of schools that the .actual work has fallen, and their resourcefulness and tact have made possible the successful introduction of this latest educational development in New Zealand. Pre-school Education Further increases in the number of Free Kindergarten Associations and of the number •of kindergartens in operation occurred during the year. To meet these increases, additional students were admitted for training as kindergarten teachers. Additional assistance in meeting the cost of pre-school education has been granted by the decision to pay for the cost of sites and buildings for free kindergarten training centres. Handicapped Children In some centres the claims of children suffering from serious physical defects have received special consideration, and in Christchurch and Dunedin day-school classes for cerebral-palsied children were established. The establishment of a similar class in Wellington was also under consideration, but no satisfactory accommodation of a permanent nature was available. This is a matter that is now receiving attention. School Buildings A heavy building programme was carried out during the year, and the following larger works were completed : Marton, Wairakei Koad (Canterbury), and Papatoetoe West Primary Schools, Okato District High School Secondary Department, Southland Girls' High School (additional class-rooms), Victoria University College (lecture-room block), and Otago University (temporary accommodation for dental school). Expenditure for the financial year ended 31st March, 1950, from the Public Works Account amounted to £2,336,512 as compared with £1,650,396 for trie previous financial year.

Maori Schools The attendance at Maori schools showed a slight increase in 1949, there being 13,288 children on the rolls in December, 1949, as compared with 13,254 m December, 1948. A new district high school was established at Tokomaru Bay, and the Maori people continue to show an increasing interest in the higher education of their children. Last year a survey was made of all Maori children leaving school at the end of 1948, and it was found that, over the whole Dominion, 44 per cent, had attended a post-primary school. It was also very evident that with higher educational qualifications, the young Maori people were encountering less difficulty in finding suitable employment. Of those who had only a primary school education, 12-4 per cent, were finding difficulty in securing employment, whereas the figure for those with post-primary education was 7-6 per cent. There was a new record entry of Maori scholars into the teaching profession, 44 being admitted into training college at the beginning of 1949. Nine students also held Maori University scholarships. Correspondence School The Correspondence School continues to fulfil its essential function of serving the isolated, sick, or otherwise handicapped student (child or adult) throughout the country. Enrolments continue to increase, the peak for 1949 being well over 5,000. The standard of work remains at a high level, and examination successes for 1949 compare very favourably with those of other schools. During the year, teams of visiting teachers (four to six in each term) have visited most districts, making personal contacts, helping pupils and advising parents, including the conduct of special work among the physically handicapped pupils. During February and March a party of 37 Form I and II boys from remote districts were brought to a residential school at the Wellington City Mission's Camp at Otaki for four weeks ; while in November 60 post-primary boys, ranging from Form 111 to Form V and drawn from all parts of New Zealand, were in residence for four weeks at Massey Agricultural College at Palmerston North. Those who were concerned with these experiments and who saw the beneficial effects on the pupils, believe that they were very well worth while, and should be extended to include girls as well as boys. Higher Education Enrolments in the University colleges have shown no marked fall during 1949, and it seems likely that they will remain stable at about the present level for the next threeor four years". After that, however, there will almost certainly be a steady increase. In his report last year, mv predecessor expressed the hope that during 1949 the University College Councils would reach decisions about the future development of the colleges. ' These hopes have in part been realized. At the request of the Canterbury University College Council, the Government agreed to the purchase of an extensive site at Riccarton which should allow adequate space for all future expansion of the college. A very similar problem faces the Government with regard to the proposal to transfer Auckland University College from its central site in the City to a new site at Tamaki. Legislation has also' been passed empowering the Wellington City Council to transfer toVictoria University College a portion of the town belt adjoining the present site. Substantial progress has been made with the first of the permanent buildings at Canterbury Agricultural College and the planning of other major buildings is in hand. The Consultative Committee on the Education, Training, and Supply of Professional Engineers completed its investigations during 1949. The extensive recommendations of this Committee have been under discussion for some time by the University and other interested bodies.

. The National Council of Adult Education is now firmly established with headquarters in Wellington. During 1949 some progress was made in the work of adult education among Maori people, and additions to general and specialist staff in the four regions have made possible a considerable expansion of the work in country districts. Vocational Guidance The staffing of the Vocational Guidance Centres became more stable during 1949, wuth the result that a better service was possible to country schools in most districts. More work is now being done among the Maori boys and girls in the East Coast area, and in the Eotorua - Bay of Plenty districts. At present the volume of work offering in towns of intermediate size does not warrant the provision of a full-time service, and it has been decided to close the Wanganui Centre in 1950. Child Welfare The total number of children appearing before the Children's Courts shows a very slight increase over the figures for the previous year —1,848 for 1950 as against 1,823 for 1949 —but the delinquency rate based on the juvenile population actually shows a decline. This is in line with the trend over the past six or seven years. Some of the credit for this comparatively satisfactory position should probably be given to the preventive work of the Child Welfare Division. Since the Ist April, 1949, the Child Welfare Division has taken over administrative responsibility for the Polish children who came to New Zealand during the recent war. The Superintendent of Child Welfare has vested in him the care and guardianship of the British children migrating to this country in small parties at fairly regular intervals under the official scheme. The one small group of refugee children from Central Europe, who accompanied the adult displaced persons, was the subject of a similar arrangement. The additional work devolving upon the officers of the Division in the placement, supervision, and general care of the children in the three categories—Polish, British, and refugee —has been undertaken smoothly, and except for some Polish officials taken over from the Army Department, no extra staff has been engaged. Many more British children are expected to come out to New Zealand under the Government-sponsored scheme, and no great difficulty is anticipated in absorbing them into the community. So far it can be said that, on the whole, the scheme has worked successfully, and the children have adjusted themselves easily to life in a new country. One other feature of Child Welfare work that calls for special comment is the continued and largely unsatisfied demand for children for adoption. There have been fairly frequent comments in the newspapers and elsewhere in recent years on the fact that many more people are seeking to adopt children than there are children available to be adopted. Whatever the causes for this rather remarkable state of affairs (to attempt to account for it would be largely a matter of conjecture), it is gratifying to realize that, unless there are exceptional circumstances, no child need be deprived of a normal home life solely because there are no persons ready and willing to treat him or her as their own. United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization The New Zealand National Commission held four meetings during 1949 and has taken action on a wide range of UNESCO projects. New Zealand was represented at the fourth General Conference of UNESCO held in Paris during September and October, 1949. Eepresentatives also attended the International Science Abstracting Conference in June ; meeting on the Arts in General Education in November ; meeting of Experts on Copyright in June ; meeting of the Radio Programme Commission in October —all in Paris.

Three of the New Zealand/UNESCO Fellowship holders arrived in New Zealand during the year and completed courses of study. Six New Zealand/UNESCO Fellowships have been offered for 1950 —two each to Malaya, Burma, and Indonesia. The Commission followed an active programme of work during the period under review, including the following items of special local interest: three thousand volumesof medical books and journals were sent to UNESCO for war-devastated libraries ; a survey of history text-books for the improvement of text-books and teaching materials ; appointment of a National Committee for the Improvement of Science Abstracting ; organization throughout New Zealand of discussion groups on the subject " food and people," and the distribution of basic literature related thereto ; display of the portfolio of Masaccio reproductions in art-galleries. The UNESCO-sponsored Draft Agreement on the Circulation of Educational,. Scientific, and Cultural Materials has received, in principle, the support of the New Zealand Government. Much progress has been made in working out a detailed and satisfactory agreement. Islands Education To assist young people from Samoa, Niue, and the Cook Islands to assume greater responsibility in their own affairs, seventy-one scholarships were granted at New Zealand schools. In the schools in the various islands, greater emphasis was placed on the teaching of local languages and culture. The Supervisor of Art and Crafts of the New Zealand Education Department visited the islands, and as a result, Samoan and Rarotongan teachers will visit New Zealand to obtain training in the teaching of art and crafts. Five island teachers were attached to Maori schools for a period of six months to enable them to observe teaching methods in those schools. Retirement of Mr. A. F. McMurtrie Recently Mr. A. F. McMurtrie, 1.5.0., M.A., retired from the position of AssistantDirector of Education. Mr. McMurtrie always had the interests and welfare of children at heart, and I wish to pay a tribute to him for his efficient and devoted service to the cause of education over his long period of service in the schools and in the Education Department.

Table Q 2— LENGTH OF POST-PRIMARY COURSE A — Classification of Pupils Leaving Public Post-primary Schools in 1949

Note.—The above table is a modification of the previous Table Q, 2 in which was shown the number of pupils classified only according to the year of the post-primary course in which they were engaged at the time of leaving. As the table now stands, Section A gives the status of pupils at time of leaving and Section B the actual year of attendance at post-primary schools at time of leaving. The approximate average length of post-primary-school life of pupils leaving, calculated on the basis of years of attendance was : secondary schools, 3 years 2 months ; combined schools, 2 years 1 1 months ; technical schools, 2 years 5 months ; district high schools, 2 years 3 months ; all schools, 2 years 8 months. Prior to 1947 the basis of calculation was length of post-primary course and pupils leaving in the fourth year or later were regarded as having left in their fourth year.
