1. REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS. Sir,; — I have the honour of submitting my report on the primary schools for the year ending 31st December, 1939. The Inspectorate. The number of Inspectors in the Education Districts remains unaltered. Daring the year Dr. J. W. Mcllraith, Chief Inspector of Primary Schools, retired on superannuation after a long and fruitful career distinguished by outstanding scholarship, wide vision, and progressive educational outlook. His services to education in New Zealand were highly appreciated by teachers, Education Boards, and the Department. The position was filled by Mr. A. E. McMurtrie, Senior Inspector in the Department, and Mr. George Overton, Senior Inspector, Nelson, was promoted to the position thus rendered vacant. Mr. W. J. Boden, Senior Inspector, Wanganui, died in August. His sincerity, honesty of purpose, and human understanding had endeared him to a wide circle of friends, and his untimely passing is deeply regretted. The many and varied duties required of the Inspectors have been carried out with characteristic zeal and efficiency. Drawn from the ranks of the teaching service and thoroughly familiar with the problems and difficulties encountered in the everyday life of the schools, the Inspectors have freely placed at the disposal of the teachers their wide knowledge of school practice and organization. Visits to schools of varied types enable the Inspectors to inaugurate and to keep in touch with forward movements in their districts and. to spread afield knowledge of educational advances. It is these aspects of the work of inspection—guidance and practical leadership—which are of the utmost value and which make the strongest appeal. It is a matter for regret that the practice of grading teachers annually—a duty laid upon the Inspectors—still necessitates at least one visit a year to each teacher. In this way there is used much valuable time which could be more profitably utilized in giving assistance where it is most required. A reconsideration of the worth of annual grading and an investigation into the possibility of extending the grading period to two years appear desirable. Ereed from the need for annual visits to all schools the Inspectors would be given greater opportunities for guidance, leadership, and practical assistance where most necessary. Refresher Courses. That there is a desire for practical assistance and guidance, and for enlightenment concerning current developments in educational theory and practice, is indicated by the considerable number of refresher courses held during the year. A pleasing feature has been the readiness of all concerned— teachers, training college staffs, Inspectors, and Board officials—to co-operate in order to ensure maximum success. The stimulating influence of such courses cannot be overestimated, and the setting-up of definite machinery of a permanent kind for systematized courses of this nature would appear to be a matter worthy of consideration. These would provide another means of keeping the teacher in service fully informed of developments in educational thought and in ordinary school practice. Teacher-training. During the year a total of 1,590 students were in training in the four training colleges. This number consisted of 716 students in their first year, 804 in their second year ; in addition, 70 students were awarded specialist studentships in some particular aspect of education. The value of these young teachers with good general-teachcr training and with special knowledge of one selected field is being increasingly recognized, and it is anticipated that an intensified demand for their services will arise. The most popular fields for specialization appear to be music, art and crafts, and physical education, but the claims of science, mathematics, and agriculture are not overlooked, and provision is also made for the needs of backward children and of those who suffer from speech defects. An innovation this year has been the introduction of specialist training in the education of the Maori. The colleges continue to give valuable service. Training is broadly interpreted, and during their college course students are given not only a sound grounding in actual school practice and organization, but also what may be of even greater value—an understanding of the true meaning of education, an insight into child nature, and a knowledge of the whole learning process, without which no teacher can be successful in the schools of to-day. Human understanding, deep-rooted faith in the worth of every child, respect for individuality, and high ideals of service are qualities the possession of which enables a teacher to become a strong influence for good in children's development. Towards the attainment of these ends the colleges tend more and more to direct their attention. The enthusiasm of the probationary assistants (i.e., students completing their training in the schools), the adaptability and keen interest in their work have been most favourably commented upon by head teachers and inspectors. Nor does the work of the training college end with the training of students. The staffs have given much valuable help to the teacher in service, and requests for assistance with refresher courses have met with a generous response. •

Handicapped Children. The particular needs of backward children have continued to receive attention. During the year there were in operation forty-two special classes where children unable to make progress under normal class teaching were given individual attention by specially-selected teachers. It is found that under such conditions pupils' school lives become happier, confidence is renewed, and self-reliance develops. Several new classes were opened during the year, and extension of the work is projected. The natural line of development would now appear to be the perfecting of some method of keeping in touch with the pupils who pass through these classes and of assisting them in their after-school lives. Classes for children suffering from defects of speech arc in operation in the main centres. As a rule, the specialist teachers visit the schools of the children for the purpose of giving remedial treatment, and valuable work is being done. Similar classes for children who are hard of hearing are held in two centres. Additional specialists are being trained, and as these become available extension of this most valuable service will be possible. Classes conducted to meet the needs of children who are inmates of hospitals have done splendid work, and not merely from the academic or school viewpoint. The value of such classes from the medical side is realized to be considerable. In two centres there are flourishing " Occupation Centres," which cater for children, who cannot profit from the instruction given in the special classes for backward children. Though schooling in a narrow sense may not be possible, these centres provide for children of this type opportunities for the development of social habits and possibilities for social living which would otherwise be unobtainable. One cannot but feel the highest admiration for the service being given in these centres. The establishment of a third centre of this type is at present under consideration. The education of crippled children who are unable to attend school was given considerable attention during the year, and it is anticipated that a definite plan will be put into operation at an early date. The possibility of establishing another type of class to meet the needs of children with definite disability in a specific subject has been under review and a forward move in this direction will shortly be made. School Broadcasting. Since its introduction in a very small way in 1931, school broadcasting has continued to develop and has now become a firmly established and valuable feature of the modern shcool. Programmes prepared by experts in various fields of education are broadcast from the four main stations and from the Invercargili and Greymouth stations. That considerable interest is taken in this activity is indicated by the demand from the schools for the supplementary booklets issued by the National Broadcasting Service. In 1939 over a hundred thousand booklets were in use. The broadcasts are systematically being improved and their scope widened, the most recent innovation being the inclusion of dramatization ; this has proved to be a most popular addition. The schools owe much to the Broadcasting Service which publishes the booklets and the officers of which have always co-operated generously in this service, as well as to the organizers and their assistants who have given so much time and thought to the preparation of the broadcasts. The Physical Welfare op Pupils. Physical education, which for some time has not made the progress which its importance warrants, has during the year come into prominence. The arrival of the recently-appointed Superintendent, Mr. P. A. Smithells, a highly-qualified English expert, has stimulated interest in this branch of education, and has provided for teachers the long-awaited leadership and guidance. The Superintendent has made a survey of the present situation, and definite steps are being taken to reinvigorate the whole system. Demonstration schools are being developed and careful attention is being given to the training of the students in college. Cinematograph films of the new scheme in action are being shown to teachers and others interested, and there are definite indications of awakened interest and enthusiasm. The future of physical education in the schools may be viewed with confidence. Though climatic conditions were not generally favourable for this activity, instruction in swimming and life-saving again occupied a prominent place in the schools. The " Learn to Swim " week was again conducted enthusiastically, the total number of certificates issued for competency in swimming—33,054, an increase of 1,052 over the figures for 1938—creating a record. In this work, vital to the safety of children, the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association renders valuable assistance. In co-operation with the Transport Department, the campaign for improved road conduct among school-children was carried on with increased vigour, and the results achieved—a considerable reduction in the number of accidents in which children of school age were involved —have been most heartening to all concerned, and particularly to teachers who, by their interest and regular instruction, have played no small part in the success obtained. Films, slogans, posters, visits, and talks by specially-selected officers and many other avenues of approach have been exploited. The services of the Transport Department's special School Officer, and of the officers of the various automobile associations, have been invaluable, and the attention of the Transport Department to this problem of present-day life has been exceedingly helpful. The safety of children in many other directions has engaged the attention of teachers. Emergency drill is a regular practice in schools, and frequent reference is made to dangers to which children appear particularly exposed.

E.—2.

During the year—more particularly in February when the normal time-table was suspended— valuable instruction was given in first aid, the services of experts of the St. John Ambulance Association being available in many districts for this purpose. It may be said in passing that in one education district interest was awakened to such an extent that a very large number of teachers took up again the serious study of first aid and obtained certificates., From the various education districts have come reports of regular attention to health instruction, including temperance in its widest sense. That attention to the health and physical welfare of school-children is definitely in the forefront of educational practice in this country can be stated with confidence. The provision of school buildings, modern in type, roomy, well ventilated and well lighted ; the remodelling of old buildings to conform to the standard ; the replacement of out-of-date seating accommodation; extensive playing areas wherever possible ; regular medical inspection ; free milk ; free dental treatment; health camps ; specialist teachers in physical education ; the suspended curriculum in February ; instruction in first aid, swimming, road conduct, and other safety measures —all these serve to show that much attention is focused on this all-important matter. Correspondence School. Established in 1922 to meet the needs of some few children (as it was thought) who were unable for various reasons to attend school, and opened with a roll of fewer than two hundred, the school has steadily increased in numbers. At the end. of 1939 the total enrolment was 2,813 —primary department, 1,705, and post-primary, 1,108. The courses offered are of varied nature covering a wide range of subjects, both academic and practical, and catering for various groups in addition to children of school age. The teaching staff numbers eighty-one, with qualifications and interests ranging over a wide field. The visiting of pupils in their homes has become an established part of the school routine. During the year tliree members of the staff visited various sections of the country during the first and third terms. The value of this personal contact has proved considerable, parents being keen to discuss their problems with the visiting teachers and to avail themselves of skilled assistance. The school also gave assistance to some nineteen district high schools, providing assignments and correction service in subjects tuition in which was not available locally. The first " Vacation School " conducted by the Correspondence School was held at New Plymouth during May. The generous action of the board of governors and the Principals of the boys' and girls' colleges in placing at the disposal of the Vacation School their school premises, hostel, and domestic staffs, and thus rendering possible the holding of the school, is highly appreciated. In all, 156 pupils drawn from widely separated areas attended the school. A varied programme of activities was carried through with great success, the children benefiting not only through daily attendance at school under normal class-room conditions, but also through the social living thus made possible. District High Schools : Post-primary Departments. The number of district high schools continues to increase. They serve a most useful purpose, making available in rural areas facilities for post-primary education which would not otherwise be obtainable. Though still too many pupils follow an academic course, there is a decided movement towards a broader course taken for other than examination purposes. As additional facilities for more practical training become available, this trend should become much stronger. Several districts report the development of courses in art and crafts, home craft, and agriculture. School Libraries. The increased grant made available by the Government has given considerable impetus to the development of school libraries. Their necessity as part of the equipment of the modern school is fully realized, and in a variety of ways much local support is given, and a wide use is made of existing library facilities. The children's departments of public libraries are playing an increasingly important part. A definite survey of possible lines of development and expansion would probably now serve a very useful purpose. Museums. The work of the school museum officers, who are stationed in the four main centres, continues to develop and to reach a wider circle of schools. Visits to museums by schools within reasonable distance are becoming increasingly common and more definite in purpose, while the demonstration cases circulated among schools farther afield have served a most useful purpose by making available to children less fortunately situated material of a valuable and interesting nature. This is an innovation the development of which offers very great possibilities. Readiness tor Formal Instruction. For many years it has been the practice to give children formal instruction in reading and number soon after they begin school. Investigations made by research students abroad tend to indicate that this early formal instruction is unnecessary, if not actually harmful, and that a postponement until the pupil reaches a stage of readiness results in rapid progress unaccompanied by emotional upsets or loss of confidence due to difficulties too great for the immature mind, and in the development of a correct attitude towards the subjects. This interesting theory is being tested in some New Zealand schools, and the progress of the experiments will be followed with close attention.

General. The Proficiency Certificate Examination provided teachers with a definite standard and aim and gave direction to the instruction m the schools ; methods, subject-content, and class-room practice were largely influenced by the requirements of the examination and the necessity for definite preparation therefor. J With the abolition of this examination in 1937 a period of uncertainty and indeflniteness ensued, inat there should be a swing to extremes, that some teachers should feel a lack of confidence in past practices, and tend to discard them entirely without full consideration of their undoubted values while others kept tenaciously to their well-known paths, were but natural developments. Mistakes' failures, and perhaps even a sense of frustration were inevitable. But that period is passing, and there appears to be developing a definite movement towards a more practical type of education more closely in touch with the life of the community. This movement stresses the active participation of the pupils and has as its purpose the development of self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-expression rather than the absorption of a certain amount of information presented by the teacher. Pupils themselves search for this information—they discuss among themselves the facts they have discovered, they report to their class-mates the results of their search, and question, and are m turn questioned by them. The whole atmosphere of a modern class-room is one of pupi-inquiry and pupil-activity. The emphasis is shifting quite definitely from subject-mastery to pupil-development. Subject-content tends to become more practical, drawn more and more from the affairs of everyday life. Clubs of varied nature—hobbies, art, crafts musicencourage the pursuit of individual interests and the development of special abilities. School music festivals, non-competitive in character, are featured in some districts, while attention to drama increases steadily. And the progressive schools reach out beyond the walls of the class-room. From various districts come reports of school camps and school journeys; visits to factories, workshops, and other places oi interest; active clubs fostering interest in the rearing of stock and the growing of crops ; proiects resulting m definite of poultry-keeping, bee-keeping, flower and vegetable gardeningsound practical pursuits bringing pupils into contact with nature and with the lives of their communities. The continuance of the practice of suspending the normal curriculum during February gives to teachers an opportunity not only of safeguarding the health of their pupils during a trying period of the year, anc. of concentrating on physical activities such as swimming and life-saving but also of introducing and developing practices which interest pupils in new fields and give scope'for new and varied experiences. or Though some little fear is expressed of the possiblity of a falling standard in the essential " tool subjects most districts report a general maintenance in efficiency with definite advance in what may be termed the more cultural subjects. As the true meaning of progressive education becomes clearer and its aims more fully understood, the schools will render still greater service to the children at the primary stage. I have, &c., A. F. McMurtrie, t>i tv i tui ,• „ T „■ Chief Inspector of Primary Schools. I he Director of Education, Wellington.

2. REPORT OP THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OP SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Sir, — I have the honour to present the report for the year 1939 Staff. . F ™ther changes in personnel occurred during the year. Mr. Tomlinson, was transferred early m the year to the Technical School Inspectorate. His place, from Bth May, was filled by the temporary appointment o Mr. H T M. Fathers, 8.A., B.Sc., Mathematics and Science master at Rongotai College. Just before the close of the year Mr. Caradus was seconded to the Air Department in order to become Director of Educational Services for the Air Force. Mr. Caradus will be engaged in his new work lor an indefinite period, probably during the whole of 1940. Routine Work. Inspection work proceeded steadily without any hindrance arising from epidemics or other causes. In the first hall of the year full inspections were made of nineteen secondary or combined schools, and at various times during the year twenty-one registered private secondary schools were also inspected and reported on. Visits were also paid to the secondary departments of the twentyseven district high schools m the Wellington, Nelson, Ilawke's Bay, Wanganui, and Taranaki Education Districts and to the secondary branch of the Correspondence School. With regard to the district high schools it was evident that further progress had been made since the last visit four years before in the direction of widening of courses and particularly in the encouragement of special subjects such as elementary biology, simple economics, choral speaking country dancing, play-reading, and crafts. Increased provision had in general been made for manual training. In the general subjects of the secondary curriculum some good and enthusiastic work was bemg done, but m some cases the development of the work was hampered by the frequent changes ot stall and by the unavoidable appointment of newcomers without the special qualifications desired I Jus was especially the case in connection with science, commercial work, and crafts.

Pl—2.

During the second half of the year visits were paid to all secondary and combined schools in connection with the award of Higher Leaving Certificates and the annual classification of teachers. There were 110 appeals in 1939 from secondary school teachers against their grading of the previous December. School 'Rolls and Staffing. The number of departmental secondary and combined schools remained unchanged at forty-six, seven of these being combined schools. On Ist March their aggregate roll was 20,017, establishing a new record number of secondary pupils in this country. The corresponding figures for 1937 and 1938 were 18,513 and 19,511 respectively. The increase in roll number, however, was not evenly distributed and ten secondary schools and one combined school experienced a fall in attendance. The number of pupils residing in school hostels rose from 1,699 to 1,744, a number which very nearly equals the peak figure reached in the pre-depression days of 1929. It is interesting to note that it has taken a full ten years for the hostels to regain their former high-water mark of popularity. The continuance of the system of boarding-allowances to children compelled to live away from home in order to obtain secondary education has helped materially to fill the hostels since its inception in 1937. During 1939 allowances were paid to 1,838 pupils attending secondary and combined schools, many of these obviously boarding privately and not at school hostels. It may be noted that Whangarei High School, with 128, had the largest number of pupils receiving the allowance, followed closely by Nelson (Boys) College and Gisborne High School. The number of registered private secondary schools continues to increase. During the year St. Peter's College, Auckland, St. Patrick's High School, Palmerston North, and St. Bride's Convent, Masterton, were added to the list, which now comprises fifty-six schools. The aggregate roll of these on Ist March was 5,409, as compared with 5,209 in March of the previous year. Public Examinations. The Public Service Entrance Examination, which is conducted entirely by the Department, has again demonstrated its popularity, especially in private schools, as a convenient method of assessing the standard attained by pupils at the end of their second or third year in secondary studies. The recently adopted practice of admitting girls into the Public Service will tend to increase still further the popularity of this examination. There were some 1,874 candidates this last year (1939). Whilst entries for the conjoint University Entrance and School Certificate Examinations rose from 4,266 in 1938 to 4,504 in 1939, the number of candidates who sat for the certificate alone still remained at a low level, some 300 only. The total number of certificates awarded was 2,569 (2,422 in 1938) and 860 candidates obtained partial passes (749 in 1938). It is regrettable but not surprising, in view of the meagre recognition given to it by the Public Service Commissioner and other employers, that so few pupils consider the acquirement of the certificate worth their while unless they attempt University Entrance at the same time. So long' as this practice continues to be prevalent the curricula of secondary schools will remain unduly fettered by the demands of the University Entrance prescription. In my opinion the only remedy appears to lie in the separation of the Entrance and Certificate Examinations with the conversion of the School Certificate into a genuine leaving certificate and the raising of the Entrance standard to that represented by an additional year of advanced, or post-certificate, study. University Entrance at that stage might well be effected by the careful accrediting of pupils who have remained at school for the additional year, though an external examination at a standard higher than the present one would still be necessary for ex-pupils and other miscellaneous candidates. The number of Higher Leaving Certificates awarded to qualified advanced pupils in secondary and combined schools (1,009) was very slightly above that of the preceding year; to pupils from endowed and registered private secondary schools 265 were granted. These awards are made under a system of accrediting, the application of which is a direct responsibility of the Inspectors. - University Bursaries. There has been 110 diminution in the number of students holding bursaries at the University Colleges, and the expenditure involved has increased very considerably during the past year. The following table shows the position regarding all types of University bursaries during 1938 and 1939 :—

Competition for all classes of special bursaries has become much keener in the past few yearsFor the seventeen home science bursaries awarded at the close of 1939 there were, for example, some sixty-five properly qualified candidates. A pleasing feature in connection with the boarding bursaries is that an increasingly larger number of candidates are now preparing themselves to face the special qualifying examination. The boarding bursary has been one of the most valuable innovations in recent years, and its establishment has undoubtedly been justified. _ The matter of revising the conditions governing the award of special bursaries, particularly the engineering and agricultural, was referred to at some length in my last report. It is still under consideration, but it is confidently expected that finality will shortly be reached and that a more liberal set of conditions will in future prevent the exclusion of some of the most promising candidates for these bursaries. Libraries. Reference has more than once been made in these annual reports to the urgent need for financial support for the libraries of our post-primary schools. Since the abandonment, during the depression, of the system of Government subsidies on voluntary contributions in aid of libraries the schools have had to rely on the meagre support afforded by their incidental grants ; in most eases these could spare but little for the libraries. At the close of 1939 the Department obtained a grant for the expenditure of £1,000 on post-primary school libraries. The distribution of this sum was effected, in part, on a capitation basis, the amounts received by the schools varying from £11 to £20. Though the benefits conferred upon individual schools may be considered by some enthusiasts to be disappointingly meagre, the Government's action has been warmly appreciated by the great majority of Boards and Principals as a welcome sign of its recognition of the justness of the claims of school libraries for assistance. It is to be hoped that a similar, or even a more liberal, grant may again be available in 1940. Developments in the Schools. The desire in most secondary schools to continue further with the widening of curricula is still apparent. The school with only two alternative courses of instruction has by now almost disappeared, just as the single-course school did some twenty years ago. Further progress, however, is in some cases seriously hampered by limitations in the size of staff or by the difficulty of obtaining qualified teachers of special subjects. Attention was drawn in last year's report to the widening of the science curricula and to the rapid advance that had been made by biology in the schools. The number of pupils studying this subject in secondary and combined schools has risen from 1,683 in 1938 to 2,013 in 1939 ; since 1937 biology pupils have increased by 167 per cent, in number. In most cases the subject forms part of a " general science " course which offers a wide range of interest to both teachers and pupils. As a further indication of the growing popularity of the " natural " sciences it may be noted that in 1939 the number of pupils studying botany rose by 45 per cent, above that for the previous year. In the teaching of French there has been considerable development and a renewal of enthusiasm. On the one hand this has taken the form of a fresh recognition of the importance of translation from French to English—i.e., of a wider reading knowledge of the language—and on the other hand of an increased desire to utilize such modern aids in the oral teaching of French as broadcasting and the film-strip machine. In this connection mention may be made of the comprehensive report being made by the French Committee of Investigation set up by the Secondary Schools' Association. The influence of such a report lies not only in the material obtained and the suggestions formulated, but in the stimulation of discussion and research in the individual schools which has been aroused by the circulation of the questionnaires. Centennial Exhibition. With regard to the Centennial Exhibition, the secondary schools undoubtedly contributed their share to the success of the Education Court's display. It was unfortunate that literary and historical projects in written or in book form could not be displayed owing to the risk of disfigurement or damage by visitors, and many excellent exhibits of this type had perforce to be rejected by the Selection Committee. Exhibits from the manual courses in the schools could, on the other hand, be more easily displayed, and these included several fine projects showing the development of school buildings, school uniforms, &c. In the aggregate some thirty-one secondary and combined schools forwarded exhibits for display. The preparation of these projects must have been a source of enjoyment and pleasure to the pupils concerned, and many of the schools are undoubtedly to be congratulated on the pains taken to ensure a worthwhile display. The teachers responsible for the planning and the preparation of the exhibits are deserving of the warmest praise for their initiative and their enthusiasm. Nine secondary schools entered for the Centennial Competition for Regional Surveys. The productions sent in were of a high standard and showed evidence that a large amount of original work had been done by the pupils under the careful supervision of their teachers. The survey submitted by the Otago Girls' High School—a history of Otago Harbour—possessed exceptional artistic merit apart from its value as an historical record. Those sent in by Rangiora High School, Timaru Boys' High School, and Wellington Girls' College were also of outstanding merit.

The War. The outbreak of another world war has already had its effect upon the staffing of the schools, an effect which, will naturally become more pronounced in the course of time. By the end of November twelve men had already gone into camp, and about an equal number were to take up military duties in December. If the war should unhappily be one of long duration it is easy to foresee a similar situation to that obtaining in 1916-18, when the help of women teachers had to be secured in boys' schools. In several schools men teachers are giving voluntary assistance in training recruits for the Air Force in mathematics and physics, and their action has been warmly appreciated by the Air Department. I have, &c., E. J. Parr, Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools. The Director of Education, Education Department, Wellington.

3. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Sir, — I have the honour to present my report for the year ending 31st December, 1939. The Inspectorial Staff remained unchanged during the year, except that Mr. H. B. Tomlinson was appointed Acting Inspector of Technical Schools. It is not perhaps generally realized what heavy demands are made on the Inspectors of Technical Schools in their endeavours to see, and advise on, all phases of technical-school work. In addition to day-school duties, covering the usual school day, almost all schools have evening classes from 7 p.m. till 9 p.m., and in recent years in order to provide sufficient accommodation, the schools in the large centres have conducted double evening sessions, and in these schools classes run continually from 5 p.m. till 9 p.m. Classes are also held on Saturday mornings in many places and need to be inspected. The strain on the Inspectors is thus very great. Not only so, but, with the present staffing, the time which it is possible to give to the inspection of large schools is totally inadequate, and the inspection visits cannot, in the nature of things, be made as searching or as thorough or as helpful as is desirable. For instance, a bare week is all that can be allowed for the inspection of such a large institution as the Auckland Technical School, which conducts classes continuously from 9 a.m. till 9 p.m., with a break from 3.45 p.m. till 5 p.m., on five days of the week. The staff of this school comprises 59 full-time teachers, and 93 part-time teachers, and the curriculum covers a very comprehensive range of subjects, some carried to a relatively high standard. Yet the inspecting staff remains in numbers substantially the same as it was in 1925, when the volume of work was less than half of what it is at the present time, and when the work was also very much less complex. If one of the most important functions of the Inspectors is to be fulfilled —that of offering constructive criticism based on a thorough knowledge of the activities of tiie school under inspection, and of advising and helping teachers —it is essential that the present staff should be considerably strengthened. Of recent years the volume of administrative work has increased to such an extent that the Superintendent is unable to leave the Department except for very brief periods, and thus he is no longer an effective unit in actual inspection work. As indicated in my last report, Dr. F. H. Spencer, of London, has visited New Zealand in order to report to the Carnegie Corporation of New York on the subject of technical education. Dr. Spencer's report has now been received and, coming as it does from such an authority, the report must be read with interest and attention. On the whole, the report expresses Dr. Spencer's approval of the condition of technical education in New Zealand as he saw it, and in respect of certain aspects, such as buildings and equipment, he is eulogistic. Certain defects to which Dr. Spencer draws attention are those of which we ourselves have been acutely conscious for a long time. He criticizes the average duration of stay in the technical high schools (only slightly over two years) as being too short. Dr. Spencer points out that the consequence of this short stay in the technical schools is that the proportion of pupils doing anything but elementary work is relatively small, and that a general lowering of standards thereby results. His second criticism concerns the organization of evening-school work, and the administration of the technical high school and of the evening technical school using the same buildings, equipment, and, to a large extent, the same staff. The criticism concerns only the large technical schools. Dr. Spencer complains that the tendency is for principals to regard themselves rather as headmasters of the day schools, and to look upon the evening school as an addendum of less importance. Although I am of the opinion that Dr. Spencer's criticism is not wholly justified and that, if he could have spent a longer time in his investigation, he would not have expressed his opinion quite in the same way, it is undoubtedly true that the time has come for a change in the administration of such large schools as are found in the four main centres. These are institutions providing for some 800 to 1,750 full-time day pupils, and for some 2,000 to 3,000 part-time evening students.

It is obvious that no principal can, by himself, carry such a doubly heavy load, but the appointment of a vice-principal would be no solution unless some specified responsibility were laid on the vice-principal for one or other of the main operations of the school work. Otherwise a vice-principal would not be effective and would not be so good from the school's point of view as the present arrangement of heads of departments and allowances for supervision which do, in another way, offer relief to the principal. In my opinion, the difficulty would be best met by the appointment of a headmaster of the technical high school, to be under the general direction of the principal of the whole institution. This principal, besides being generally responsible to his board for the institution as a whole, would take definite charge of the administration of all parts of the school other than the technical high school. Centennial Exhibition. There was a fine response to the invitation to technical schools to send work to the Exhibition. In order to avoid too great a quantity of material and probability of duplication of popular exhibits, schools were asked to state tentatively in detail what exhibits could be prepared and sent forward. The Department then chose and assigned suitable work to each school. The result was that sufficient work came to hand to fill the space provided comfortably and to allow for slight xe-arrangement during the course of the Exhibition. There was little duplication of objects, and, on the whole, work of a very high standard came forward. While it would be invidious to single out individual exhibits for special praise, there is little doubt that the lathe exhibited by one technical school was one of the outstanding pieces of work. This lathe was a replica of a well-known 4|-in.-centre American lathe ; the whole being cast, machined, and assembled in the school workshops not as the work of one or two gifted students, but as a job in which every boy in the engineering course of the school took some part, however small. The educational significance of the project is therefore as great as its exhibition value. The organization and carrying through of this part of the Exhibition entailed a great deal of additional work on the part of the principals, teachers, and the officers of the Department who had to organize the arrangements for receipt and actual handling of the exhibits as they arrived from all parts of New Zealand. Great help was also given by the Principal and masters of the Wellington Technical College, and by the Principal, staff, and students of the Wellington Training College. The thanks of the Department are due to all those who took part in making the Exhibition the success it undoubtedly was, and notably so by the efforts of the technical schools. Notable Additions to Buildings and Equipment during the Year. The new technical school known as Horowhenua College was completed at Levin during the autumn of 1939 and was available for occupation at the beginning of 1940. This school, which stands on a fine site of 20 acres, marks the most advanced conception of the country technical school that has yet been erected in New Zealand. It has a complete range of class-rooms, including a room for visual education ; laboratories, including a biological laboratory ; home-science department, including a practice flat; art and crafts room ; engineering and woodwork shops ; and a fine assembly hall. It is confidently expected that the College will soon play an important part in the educational life of the district in which it is placed. At Ashburton a new site of some 23 acres has been purchased for the erection thereon, in due course, of a combined school. The site was selected after various sites had been inspected by a committee of representatives of both the High School and Technical School Boards and the Education Department. At Rotorua High School the technical block was competed and full equipment authorized, and this fine addition to the resources of the school was in full operation before the end of the year. At Greymouth Technical School the workshop block was completed, and the new equipment which was provided by the Government has been installed and is in working-order. At Timaru Technical School a property consisting of half an acre and an old house was purchased in order to provide a site for the future extension of the school. The workshop block at Napier Combined School was almost completely destroyed, together with its contents, by a fire which, unfortunately broke out in November, 1939. Plans for rebuilding the workshop are in hand, and temporary arrangements have been made for carrying on the practical work until the new building and equipment are available. At Hawera Technical School the extension of the workshop block for both woodwork and engineering was completed, thus greatly adding to the resources of the school on the practical side. Bayley Park, Ilawera, consisting of 3| acres, was also purchased for the use of the school as an additional playing-area. The manual-training centre was completed at Queenstown and was in use throughout the year. I have, &c., F. C. Renyard, Superintendent of Technical Education. The Director of Education, Wellington.
