No. 1. EXTKACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. TECHNICAL EDUCATION. General. Number of Schools. The number of organized technical schools offering both day and evening classes open during the year .1.921 was twenty, including thirteen technical high schools, an increase of four on the number for the previous year. Technical high schools were established at Pukekohe, Stratford, Feilding, and Hastings during the year, in each case replacing district high schools. Technical classes were also conducted in a number of manual-training and other centres, the total number of centres being ninety-four. Attendance. The total number of students receiving instruction in all technical classes was 20,181, as compared with 21,394 in 1920. The total for 1920 includes, however, about 1,800 teachers attending technical classes, whereas such students are excluded from the numbers for 1921. The attendance at technical high schools increased from 2,766 in 1920 to 3,349 in 1921, 434 of the increase being due to the establishment of four new schools. Taking only the technical high schools in operation in 1920, the increase is 149, as compared with a decrease of 302 in the previous year. Of the total number of 20,181 students, 3,140 held free places at technical high schools, 3,835 at other technical classes, 1,585 were attending continuation and technical classes held under the regulations for compulsory classes, and 674 were attending under the regulations relating to the free instruction of discharged soldiers. Staffing. There were at the end of 1921 192 full-time assistant teachers on the staffs of technical schools, besides a large number of part-time teachers. The teachers employed full time were classified as follows, Class VI being the highest :—

The effect of the classification system, in encouraging teachers with high professional qualifications is reflected in the totals shown in the table. Teachers classified in Division I, who must have had a training at least equivalent to a threeyears course at a university, have increased in number by 20 per cent., whereas the numbers in Division II have on the whole remained the same. The increase in the number of Division I teachers is partly explained, however, by the increase in the number of technical-high-school pupils. There is no doubt that the system of classification adopted has greatly improved the conditions of service in. technical schools, with the result that it now possesses attractions for competent teachers as nearly equal to those offered in other branches of the teaching service as it is at present possible to arrange. It is hoped that a reasonable solution of some remaining minor difficulties may be found in the near future. Courses of Instruction. The reports of the Inspectors of Technical Schools show that on the whole the standard of work in previous years was maintained. In evening classes, generally

speaking, the students are keen and industrious, but the fact that most of the classes are heterogeneous as regards the attainments of pupils renders class-work difficult, with the result that teachers are compelled often to resort to individual instruction where class-work would be much more effective if all the pupils were all at one stage. This difficulty is due to the small numbers offering in many trades in most of the schools, and can hardly be removed until the population of the Dominion becomes much more dense than it is at present. In the day classes at technical schools this drawback is not very seriously felt, and in the technical high schools it is only noticeable in the higher classes in certain courses. In these schools, usually offering four of five different courses, the senior pupils of more than one course are often taken together for general subjects of instruction, in preference to the pupils in two or three years of one course being placed in one class. Part-time day continuation classes have not hitherto been encouraged by associations of employers except in the case of painters and decorators in one large centre. It is hoped that such classes will receive the support and encouragement which they deserve from both employers and employees, and that the single example at present in operation will be followed in all trades and occupations. Some form of compulsion may be necessary to secure the regular attendance of apprentices and other young workers at day continuation classes, but it is felt that no such compulsory classes would prove successful if they lacked the sympathy and aid of the masters and men in the occupations concerned. Classes other than Classes at Technical High Schools. (Note. All figures for 1921 are exclusive of teachers' classes, which were included in 1920.) Classes were held at 94 centres. In the previous year the number of centres was 121, and the decrease was probably due to a decrease in the number of woolsorting classes in country centres. The number of classes and the number of individual students were as follows : —

It is to be noted in comparing-the numbers for 1921 with those for 1920 that the Pukekohe, Wanganui, Feilding, and Greymouth Technical Schools, and the Dunedin School of Art, were each conducted by a Board of managers in 1921 for the first time. This caused a transfer in numbers of 151 classes and 1,389 pupils from the first to the second line in the above table. The following are some particulars of the age, sex, and occupations of students : —

" College " classes were conducted in connection with the Auckland University School of Engineering, Canterbury College School of P]ngineering and School of Commerce, Otago University School of Domestic Science and School of Commerce, the total capitation earnings for these classes for the year being £2,945. The School of Domestic Science in Otago University was attended by seventyfive students taking either the course for the degree or that for the diploma. Eleven Government bursaries were awarded in 1921, making a total of forty-four tenable during the year. Four degree and eighteen diploma students completed their course. Payments totalling £3,069 were made in respect of the forty-four bursars, an average of nearly £70 each. Graduates from this school are now filling important positions throughout the Dominion as instructors in home-science, and their influence in this important phase of the training of our girls is already very marked.

Number of Students receiving Free Education at Technical Schools other than Technical High Schools.

Nearly 23 per cent, of the total number of students in attendance at classes held free places under the Government regulations. The total number of junior free pupils shows a decrease of 75 as compared with the number for 1920, and the total number of senior free pupils shows a decrease of 56. 495 students held scholarships or free places provided locally. Included in the return of junior free pupils there is a number of young persons not otherwise qualified for a free place who have been recommended by an Inspector of Schools for free places in industrial classes. In certain districts the regulations for compulsory attendance at continuation classes were in operation during the year, the number of students in attendance being as follows :— Auckland Education District .. .. 638 students in 14 school districts. Taranaki Education District .. . . 229 ~ 5 ~ Wanganui Education District .. .. 478 ~ 3 ~ Hawke's Bay Education District .. 115 ~ 1 „ Nelson Education District .. . . 1 ~ 1 „ Canterbury Education District .. .. 124 „ 1 ~ Totals .. .. ..1,585 25 During the year 644 returned soldiers attended as free students at technical classes in twenty-one centres. The Repatriation Board, as in 1920, provided the funds for additional instructors and equipment wherever necessary.
