VII. SCHOOLS OF MINES. The schools of mines, which have now been established twenty-three years, continue to contribute to the education of mining and metallurgical students at the principal mining centres, and the number of important positions occupied by students from these schools on many of the great mining fields of the world testifies to the efficiency of the curriculum.
Expenditure on Schools of Mines. The following table shows the expenditure by the Government on schools of mines since their inauguration, exclusive of subsidies paid to the University of Otago towards the School of Mines in connection with that institution :—
The schools of-mines examinations'were held in December, 1907, and seventy-seven students presented themselves for examination in some of the twenty subjects on which papers were set, the result of such examinations appearing in the New Zealand Gdzette of the 30th January, 1908. No student succeeded in obtaining first-class passes to the requisite number to entitle him to one of the four Government scholarships at the University of Otago, which are of the annual value of £50, and are tenable for three years. I have, &c, Frank Reed, Inspecting Engineer of Mines.
