STAFF, ATTENDANCE, FEES, AND SALARIES AT CERTAIN SECONDARY SCHOOLS.

GENEEAL EEPOET BY INSPECTOE-GENEEAL OF SCHOOLS. Sib,— Education Department, Wellington, Ist December, 1884. I have the honour to report that since the 14-th^September I have inspected the Training Colleges at Dunedin, Christchurch, and Auckland, and most of the High Schools throughout the colony. It is unnecessary to encumber this report with details as to the staff and attendance at each school, since the annual reports of the several institutions, which are to be made at the end of the year, will supply full statistics. The same reports will show with sufficient clearness the general character of each institution with respect to the scope of the instruction imparted, and the completeness or necessary imperfection of its organization. The smaller and poorer schools in the lesser towns are evidently placed at a disadvantage in comparison with those that have a large attendance and a competent income. Bearing in mind this necessary difference, I find very little occasion for adverse criticism on the conduct of the institutions I have inspected. The local authorities generally exercise a very careful supervision of the affairs of the schools, and have intrusted the
