Table D.— Staffing In The Faculties of Arts, Science, Commerce, And Law (Excluding Education And Music). — continued.

{a.) There are no professors or lecturers in law or commerce. (6.) No teaching is provided in law ; two professors, one part-time professor, and one part-time lecturer in commerce. (c.) One professor in law and one in commerce, one whole-time and two part-time lecturers in law, one part-time lecturer in commerce. (d.) One whoh-time and one part-time professor, and seven part-time lecturers in law. One professor and one lecturer (whole-time) and seven part-time lecturers in commerce. No account is taken of professors of subjects not taught in the University Colleges of New Zealand, as of Oriental languages, Welsh, theology : nor of professors of Greek, Hebrew, or German where there are separate chairs in these subjects, the number of students in each of these subjects in New Zealand being very small.

REMARKS ON THE PRESENT STAFFING (SEE TABLE A). Subjects. Classics. Latin. —Latin is practically compulsory for the B.A. degree, as very few students take Greek and those who do probably take Latin also. In Auckland University College and Victoria College the staffing seems to be sufficient for the present numbers. In Canterbury College the assistant should be a full-time assistant: now he gives half his time to English and half to Latin. In the University of Otago Latin is taken by a lecturer and an assistant lecturer. Considering the importance of the subject and the number of students, there should be a professor and a lecturer at each college. Greek. —There are about thirty students in the four colleges taken together. The subject is taken in Otago by an assistant lecturer, in the other three centres by the Professor of Latin : the latter arrangement seems to be sufficient. Modern Languages. In Otago there is a lecturer in French and an assistant lecturer in German ; in the other three colleges there is a professor who takes both languages—in Victoria College and Canterbury College the professor has an assistant. Modern languages occupy an important position in an arts course : the number of students in French and the number of classes required would justify a professor and a lecturer in each college. Apparently there are not more than twenty students of German of all years in all four University Colleges. English. This is, as it should be, the most popular subject in all four colleges. Except in Canterbury, where the professor's assistant divides his time between Latin and English, the present arrangement of a professor and a lecturer seems to be tolerably satisfactory. It might be desirable at a future time to divide the chair of English into two (English literature and English language and philology), but other demands seem to be more immediately urgent. History. In Canterbury College there is a professorship, the holder of which takes also economics and has charge of the course in commerce, several other subjects of which he actually teaches. In Victoria College there is a lecturer in history and economics. In Auckland University College one lecturer,
