1. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Wellington, 15th June, 1930. SIB, — I have the honour to present the report for the year 1930. The total number of students in part-time day and evening classes was 11,829, of whom 5,994 held junior or senior free places and 5,835 paid fees. Of the total number, 1,210 had been attending primary schools in the previous year. From Table J 8 appended to this report it will be seen that 6,711 students, being 56-7 per cent, of the total, were seventeen years of age or over, while 1,171, or 9-9 per cent., were under fifteen years of age. Of this 9-9 per cent., however, a considerable number, probably at least one-third, were part-time day pupils included among the 1,305 persons of " no occupation " as given in Table J 7 appended to this report. Tables A and B below give some indication of the way in which attendance at technical schools has changed in recent years.

Table A. —Number of Students, according to Ages, admitted to Classes at Technical Schools other than Technical High-school Classes; also Primary School "Leavers" joining Technical Schools in the next Year.

Table B. —Students in Technical Classes: Numbers attending from certain Groups of Occupations.

The enrolment at technical high schools and technical day schools of full-time pupils taking courses under the Regulations for Manual and Technical Instruction was 8,002 at the Ist July, 1930, as compared with 7,536 at the corresponding date in the previous year. The enrolment of 8,002 consisted of 4,395 boys and 3,607 girls. Of the boys 2,278 took industrial courses, 445 agriculture, 837 commercial work, 693 a general course, and 142 an art course. Of the girls 1,142 took the domestic course, 1,944 the commercial, 262 the general, and 259 the art course. Buildings and equipment have been maintained in good order and condition throughout the year and some necessary additions to buildings have been made. The question of additional accommodation has become more urgent during the year, the increase of day pupils being 6-2 per cent, on the roll of the previous year. Owing to difficulties of finance, it has been impossible to provide for more than the most urgent oases, and some developments of considerable importance have necessarily been postponed. The character and quality of the instruction in technical schools and technical high schools is gradually improving, with the gradual improvement in the strength of staffing ; but there is little visible alteration from year to year, and the report last year applies substantially to the conditions of the year at present under review.

An increase in the number of pupils receiving instruction in woodwork, metalwork, and domestic subjects under special instructors at manual-training centres has again to be recorded, the number for 1930 being 46,557, as compared with 45,493 for the previous year. Included in this total are 6,221 primary and secondary pupils from junior and senior high schools. Where possible, opportunity is given for attendance at the centres of pupils from private schools, and during the year some 3,822 boys and girls from such schools were so provided for. Instruction in advanced nature-study and elementary agriculture, involving practical work in school gardens and experimental plots, was taken by 49,698 pupils of Standard IV and upwards in primary and district high schools. Instruction in other science subjects, such as dairy science, physics, and chemistry, was given to secondary pupils of district high schools and also to 5,318 primary pupils of such schools as had no facilities for training in elementary agriculture. For the purpose of capitation grants all of this science work, which, is conducted under the supervision of the special instructors, is classed under the general head of " Manual Training." For the conduct of instruction in the manual-training subjects, 159 classified specialist instructors were employed by the various Education Boards. In these numbers there has been an increase of five. Included in the total are twenty-three instructors engaged in the supervision of the teaching of nature-study, elementary agriculture, and science generally ; in this number there has bee n no change for some years past. In some of the technical schools where appropriate workrooms are not fully engaged throughout the day, manual-training classes in woodwork, metalwork, and domestic subjects are accommodated, and the services of forty-one teachers on the full-time staffs of such schools were so made use of for varying periods during the year. In only three centres were part-time instructors employed for ordinary manual-training subjects, but 518 local part-time teachers were engaged in needlework instruction in small schools which had no women teachers on the staff. At the August Examination for the Handicraft Teachers' Certificate there were twenty-five candidates. Of this number, seven obtained passes in Section I, three obtained passes in Section 11, and one obtained a partial pass ; one obtained a partial pass in Section 111 ; three candidates passed the whole examination, while seven failed. The issue of this certificate was first provided for in 1925, and the full examination has now been passed by six teachers. I have, &c., W. S. La Tkobe, Superintendent of Technical Education. The Director of Education.
