Beport of the Bector of the Training College. Sir — I have the honour to submit my report on the Training College for the year 1890. The following was the attendance at the classes : First-year students—twelve males, thirty-three females; second-year students—six males, twenty-three females; third- and fourth-year students—six males, one female. No change was made on the teaching staff during the year. The following are the results of the certificate examinations: One student, passing the New Zealand University honours examination, secured his M.A. degree and A certificate ; tw 7o passed the B.A. examination, qualifying for B certificate ; five passed the first section of the B.A. examination, qualifying for C certificate ; twenty-four passed the New Zealand University matriculation examination ; thirty-seven qualified for D certificate ; three had a partial success for D ; twelve qualified for E certificate ; and nine had a partial success for E. Neil Pollock w 7as awarded the first prize for experimental science, and Alice M. M. Baron the second prize. Twenty students received " special mention "by examiners in the D and E examinations. The Training College students attending the Otago University have taken good places in their classes, and the holders of the Training College exhibitions have fulfilled their conditions. The headmasters of the associated schools have worked cordially with us in connection with the students' practice in teaching. The addition of Kaikorai School to the number associated has, to a certain extent, lightened their labours, and is proving of advantage to the students. I have, &c, The Secretary, Otago Education Board. W. S. Fitzgerald, Bector.
