go to swell the list of persons against whose names the only record as yet is " failed." Most of the 24 cases in D are those of teachers already holding E certificates, and 31 cases in E are those of candidates that were on the "failure" list before. On the other hand the lists of passes and "partial passes" contain the names of 29 candidates whose names were previously in the "failure" list. The certificated teachers contribute the largest proportion to the list of 62 absentees, which is composed as follows: Certificated, 26; uncertificated teachers, 16; pupilteachers, 12 ; normal-students, 2 ; ex-teachers, 6. The passes for D number 140, but these passes will result in the issue of only 63 certificates, because 77 of those that passed already possessed E certificates or had passed the E examination. The 63 new D certificates go to 15 teachers, 7 pupil-teachers, 37 normal-students, and 4 outsiders. The cases of success sufficient for "partial pass " are 53, of which 12 are included also in the number of passes for Class E. The passes for E are 158 in number : the new certificates therefore will be 221 (63 for D and 158 for E). The new certificates for E will be distributed as follows : To 55 teachers, 72 pupil-teachers, 21 normal-students, 8 ex-teachers, and 2 outsiders. The "partial passes" for Class E are 109. The analysis of the numbers with respect to success, partial success, and failure is as follows : — Pass D. Partial D. Partial D Pass E. Partial E. Absent. Failed. and Pass B. Entered for D ... ... 154 56 41* 12* 4 2 15 24 Entered for D completion ... 127 84 ... ... 1 ... 11 31 Entered for E 264 ... ... ... 55 107 20 82 Entered for E completion ... 198 ... 86 ... 16 96 743 140 41 12f 146! 109 62 233 * 53 Partial D. t 158 Pass E. The papers set at the examination, and the lis,ts of passes and partial passes for certificates, are appended. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Wm. Jas. Habens.
