TABLE Q.-Normal Schools — continued.
The relation of the Board or of the training college to the practising school in each of the four institutions is explained in the report for 1881.* In their reports for the past year the Board of Wellington and the Principal of the Normal School represent the necessity of making more satisfactory provision for the carrying-on of the work of the practising school in connection with that of the training department under their charge. The Board of Auckland has explained that its present actual outlay on the training college exceeds the annual grant of £2,000 for the training of teachers, a portion of which had previously been expended on probationers (or teachers in training) who were not in actual attendance at the college. Classes were held by the Principal of the Auckland Training College for the instruction of teachers and pupil-teachers, and assistance was given by him to country teachers by means of correspondence. A separate class for the training of teachers is held at the Thames. The Principal of the Wellington Training College has begun a course of Saturday afternoon lectures on professional subjects, which are very largely attended, not only by teachers and pupilteachers in Wellington and its vicinity, but also by several from the more distant parts of the district. During the last two years the Principal of the Christchurch Training College conducted a class on Saturdays for teachers in the Board's service who were ur: certificated. It is not stated whether Saturday lectures, as in former years, have been delivered at the Dunedin Training College during the past year. Education Reserves.
