REPORT OF THE SENIOR INSPECTOR OF MAORI SCHOOLS Sir, — 26th March, 1950. I have the honour to present the following report on Maori schools for the year 1949 1. Schools and Staff During 1949 the Reporua Maori School was consolidated on the Manutahi Maori District High School, and new schools were opened at Te Hauke and Tawapata. These changes brought the total number of Maori schools controlled by the Education Department to 160, an increase of 1 on the 1949 figure. The total enrolment in December, 1949, was 13,288, an increase of 34 over the figure for December, 1948. The average weekly enrolment was 13,191, the regularity of attendance being 87 per cent. Of the 13,288 children on the rolls in December, 12,139 were Maoris and 1,149 were Europeans. In addition to the 160 State Maori primary schools, there were 10 mission Maori primary schools with a total enrolment of 805 (an increase of 53 on the 1948 figure), and 10 denominational Maori post-primary schools with an enrolment of 729 Maori pupils (an increase of 75 on the previous year's figure). In December, 1949, there were 17,647 Maori children on the rolls of the public schools (as distinct from Maori Schools) throughout the Dominion, as compared with 16,591 in December, 1948. The conveyance of pupils in remote localities continues to play an important part in the education of Maori pupils. The management of conveyance services to Maori schools was transferred to Education Boards at the beginning of 1949 with a view to effecting better co-ordination of transport services generally. It is yet too early to assess the full effects of .this change of control. On the Ist July, 1949, the number of children being transported daily to Maori schools by free or subsidized conveyance services or who were receiving travellingallowances was 3,852. The staffing of Maori schools during the year was again difficult. The greatest difficulty was experienced in obtaining sufficient applicants for female assistantships in Maori primary schools and for post-primary assistantships in the Maori district high schools. Consequently, it was necessary to continue to use a considerable number of the more experienced junior assistants as relieving class teachers, and we were able to employ a few superannuitants as relieving teachers. The staffing position was temporarily made more difficult by the Teachers' Emergency Training Scheme, which permitted 22 uncertificated teachers, many of them holding responsible assistantships, to enter training college. The number of teachers employed in December and classified according to certificate held was :

As vacancies could not be filled by the appointment of certificated teachers, a number •of uncertificated teachers were employed as relieving teachers, and this in part accounts for the large number of those teachers. In addition to the number of teachers given in the above table, there were 32 probationary assistants and 92 junior assistants. The decrease in the number of junior assistants compared with the figure for 1948 (114) is due to the fact that a number of junior assistants were admitted to training college in September, 1949, under the emergency scheme and it was not possible to replace them so late in the year. From the following table it will be noted that there is a steady increase in the number of students admitted to the various teachers' training colleges :

Maori Schools' Quota for Training Colleges

* Still in training college. I again wish to thank the Auckland, Hawke's Bay, and Wanganui Education Boards for inviting an Inspector of Maori Schools to sit on the Training College Selection Board when applicants for entry to training colleges under the Maori schools' quota were being interviewed. This year we were again able to place students of the Maori schools' quota at Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland, and Ardmore Teachers' Colleges. 2. Primary Education It is pleasing to report that the schools enjoyed an uninterrupted year, free from any serious epidemics. This gave teachers their first real opportunity of making the changes suggested in the new syllabuses issued during the previous year. To assist teachers, several meetings were held ; and of particular value was the visit of Mr. James Hemming, Research Officer to the English Association for Education in Citizenship. Mr. Hemming's addresses on the social education of the child and the place of the school in the community were most stimulating. Another valuable innovation was the Staff School, held at Wallis House, Lower Hutt. Both Inspectors and selected head teachers derived great professional benefit from the lectures and discussions, and particularly from the fact that for a week the members of the school lived together as a community. The year was also notable for the Pacific Science Congress, which met in Auckland and Christchurch. The Inspectors of Maori Schools took the opportunity of attending some of the anthropological and ethnological lectures and discussed common problems with several of the visiting experts.

Further meetings with representatives of the Maori Schools' Committee were held during the year, and the following matters were discussed : reading material, scholarships, refresher courses, regulations for Maori schools, school supplies, reports, &c. Again the Inspectors of Maori Schools met the Auckland Education Board Instructors of Agriculture to discuss problems connected with nature-study and agriculture teaching and club work in Maori schools. The special grant for club work in Maori schools was increased to £5OO to further the calf and lamb club movement and to foster agricultural and horticultural clubs. The special grant for this work has been of great value, and club work is now on a firmer basis thaxi formerly. The supply of materials and equipment improved generally, but some fines, particularly stationery items and towelling, were still difficult to obtain. Shipping difficulties also contributed to the non-supply of some items which could be obtained only from overseas sources. In accordance with Cabinet approval, the vote for Maori schoolsfor books, materials and requisites, and general expenses of schools was increased to £20,110. The main reasons for this increase were — (1) The need for a greater quantity and variety of visual and practical teaching equipment, and for a greater range of apparatus of an individual nature, which is essential for the Maori children. (2) Because of the restricted nature of home environment —e.g., lack of books, radios, and normal home equipment —these deficiencies were compensated by a supply to the schools of library books. (3) It was necessary to restock the schools with valuable teaching materials which had not been supplied for many years owing to the war conditions. Difficulty was experienced in obtaining supplies of maps and infant apparatus owing to the non-availability of supplies and the impossibility of obtaining anybody willing to make the infant apparatus. Certain materials and equipment which were previously covered by special items and grants, but which have now been included in the increased capitation grant to public schools, were provided from the increased vote. Supplementary readers were again available and, as only one issue had been made during the past two years, approximately 130 titles were distributed this year. During the year several teachers from Samoa, Niue, and the Cook Islands were placed in selected Maori schools to observe and practise teaching methods. These teachers are brought to New Zealand for a six-months' period and are under the supervision of the Officer for Islands Education. Several exchange teachers from Great Britain were also given the opportunity of paying brief visits to some of the Maori schools. A manual-training centre was established at the Whakarewarewa Maori School, Rotorua, and we were fortunate in securing the full-time services as instructors of Mrs. D. du P. Herbinson and Mr. A. J. Wark. Satisfactory transport was arranged for the pupils from the neighbouring schools. There is good reason to be pleased with the first year's work of the centre, and to expect steady progress in the future. The announcement during the year that a new series of infant readers had been selected was enthusiastically received by infant-teachers in the Maori schools. The language problem, particularly during the first few years of the Maori child's school life, is still our greatest problem, and it is felt that the new series of readers, with the limited selected vocabulary, will be of great assistance in helping overcome this basic problem.

3. Post-primary Education In 1949 the total number of Maori pupils from public and Maori schools going on -to post-primary education was 1,645, comprising 796 boys and 849 girls. This shows .an increase on the figures for 1948 (namely, 730 boys, 799 girls —total 1,529) and represents approximately 63 per cent, of the total number of Maori pupils leaving those schools (see Table H 10). The number of Maori district high schools was increased to 8 by the establishment of the Tokomaru Bay Maori District High School. The total enrolment in the postprimary departments at these schools showed an increase from 236 to 254. There was also an increase from 654 to 729 in the enrolment at the 10 denominational colleges. Of the 729 pupils enrolled at denominational colleges, 279 were Government scholarship holders. The total number of Government scholarship holders at both public and private post-primary schools was 309 (see Table H 4a). The whole of the Maori scholarship system is under review, with a view to bringing the system more into harmony with changed post-primary education conditions. If the work of the Maori primary schools is to be more fully effective, it is essential that .a greater proportion of Maori children should proceed to the post-primary stage. The lack of adequate buildings still handicaps the work of the Maori district high schools. It is pleasing to report, however, that conditions improved somewhat during the year. New class-room and laboratory blocks were commenced at Te Kaha, Ruatoki, Rangitahi, and Manutahi District High Schools, and prefabricated class-rooms for the post-primary pupils were erected at Tikitiki and Tokomaru Bay. Additional grants were made available for library books, text-books, science equipment, and for music, so that the district high schools are now more satisfactorily equipped with these materials than formerly. 4. Higher Education Reference has already been made above to the steady increase in the number of .•students entering training colleges under the Maori schools' quota. The problem of teacher-training was under review during the year and the Maori School Inspectors prepared and submitted a report to the Consultative Committee on Teacher Training. During the year nine Maori University scholarships were current, as follows : Four medical, two agricultural science, one home science, one commerce, and one arts. One scholarship holder, after completing six units of the science degree, was admitted to the ;Sydney University, where he is taking the prescribed course for the degree of Bachelor -of Veterinary Science. 5. Buildings During the past year a satisfactory volume of construction work was accomplished in spite of continuing difficulties in obtaining tenders for work in country districts. Fortunately the most pressing needs of class-room accommodation in Maori schools have been met either by new permanent buildings or by a judicious use of prefabricated A total of fourteen prefabricated class-rooms was erected during the year, while the following buildings were also completed : —■ Class-rooms .. .. .. .. 17 Residences .. .. .. .. 6 Milk-rooms . . . . .. . . 4 Dental clinics .. .. .. .. 4 In addition, septic-tank drainage was installed at four schools.

Maintenance work has proceeded steadily throughout the year. In some cases there is still a large amount of repair work and renovations to be carried out, and it is hoped that with the ready co-operation of Education Boards this work will be undertaken and completed during the coming twelve months. An agreement was entered into with the Hawke's Bay Education Board in May, 1949, in terms of which the Board's authority in carrying out maintenance work at Maori schools in its district was considerably extended. The arrangements approved enable the Board to carry out maintenance work without a great deal of reference to the Department, and at the same time permit the Board to draw up a co-ordinated programme of work for both Board and Maori schools. 6. Inspectorate During the year Mr. F. T. Woodley was transferred to the inspectorate at Wanganui,. and his place was filled by the appointment of Mr. H. W. Black. I wish to express my thanks for the loyal support given to me by my colleagues, and also to the staff of the Auckland Branch of the Education Department. I have, &c., W. Parsonage, Senior Inspector of Maori Schools. The Director of Education.
