No. 3. TRAINING COLLEGES. AUCKLAND. Report op Principal fob the Year 1913. Sir, — Training College, 30th March, 1914. I have the honour to present my report on the work of the Auckland Training College for the year 1913. There were 108 students in training, sixty-seven being women and forty-one being men. Of these, ninety-six were admitted under Division A of the regulations, seven under Division B, and five under Division C; sixteen went out at the end of one year's training, and forty-nine after the full two-years' course. Twenty-two students worked definitely for a degree course, and at the University terms examination held in October the following results were obtained : Five passed for third year's terms, eight passed for second year's terms, and four for first year's terms. Miss Edith Salmon obtained the premiums in mental science and economics, and Mr. Kruger in education. The degree results just published show that three students, Edith Salmon, Olive Wylie, and George Coldham, passed for B.A. The average student aimed at passing the C examination, and, as in previous years, all students were urged to sit for the external examination held by the Department in January, it being understood that no student would be recommended for an internal C certificate who had not in addition obtained the external certificate. The results, which are just to hand, show that out of forty-nine second-year students forty obtained a full C, one obtained a B, the others still requiring to complete their C further examination qualifications. In other words, 83 per cent, of the students left the College with a full C certificate. The practical teaching by the students was conducted as in past years, half of each term being wholly given up to school-work. The first half of the term the seniors were in school, the juniors being at lectures, while the order was reversed during the second half of the term. The Normal School staff worked very hard to try and give every opportunity for actual practice, but it must be obvious that they are attempting the impossible. How can any one give proper attention to six students, give them supervision as they take sections of the class, and in addition carry the burden of keeping the class up to the examination standard required? In my opinion two students to each class are quite enough—any more only means divided attention and inefficiency. Unfortunately, what promised to be a means of relief use of picked teachers in selected schools as auxiliary trainers—is likely to be interfered with in Auckland. I had hoped that with the promised amendments to the regulations provision would be made for a small honorarium for such teachers, but the hope has not materialized, Tt does not seem
