19. Erect:ion of School Buildings.-The Legislature, in October, 1880, passed an Act enabling School Buildings to be erected at the sole expense of the State; but during the year 1881 no buildings were erected under it, as the provisions of such Act precluded the building of any school­house until the plans and specifications, together with an estimate of the cost of the works, should be laid before and approved of by Parliament.

An Act was subsequently passed in November, 1881, modifying these provisions so as to enable the Board to erect School Buildings, not exceeding a cost of £500, without waiting for Par-liamentary sanction. ·

20. The Annual Reports by the Chief Inspector, and by Mr. Inspector· Rule, are annexed hereto. (See Appendices A. and B.)

21. We submit this as our Report on the Public Schools for the year ended 31st December, 1881, and we have caused our corporate_Seal to be affixed hereto.

GENERAL Report for 1881 by T. STEPHENS, Esq., 111.A., Chief Inspector of Schook

Hoba1·t, 27th 11fay, 1882.

SIR, . I HAVE the honor to furnish my annual statement of the work of the past year, with general remarks

on matters which have already been recorded in my separate reports.

The Schools in the Southern Districts were all in operation, with five exceptions, during the whole ur the greater part of the year. The total number of visits of inspection and examination was 202, each day of an examination, in cases where it extended over two or more days, being counted as a separate visit. The number of children in ordinary attendance in Hobart alone, including the Ragged Schools, whose attainments and progress from year to year I endeavour to test by individual examination, has largely increased, and, if full justice were clone to this part of my 'work, the time left for the discharge of similar duties in the country schools would have been altogether insufficient for the purpose. Under these circumstances it has seemed to me that the schools remote from observation had the strongest claims upon my time and attention until further provision could. be made·for school inspection, and this has now been done by the recent increase in the inspectoral staff.

The work connected with the annual Examinations of Teachers and Pupil Teachers, and other exami­nations of candidates for employment in various capacities ; the visits of inquiry in localities unprovicled with the means of education ; the special reports required from time to time ; and the correspondence with Teachers upon matters which have come under notice during the inspection of schools, together with the ordinary miscellaneous duties of my office, have been steadily increasing of late• years. There are many questions of importance for which I have not hitherto been able to find leisure, but which I hope, under the new arrangements, to submit to the consideration of the Board during the cur1:ent year.

SCHOOL-HOUSES.

It is grati(ying to note that the very grave defects and inconvenience resulting from the want of any .satisfactory provision for the erection, repair, and maintenance of school-houses, which I have had to report -annually for many years past, are_ now in a foir way of being remedied. Considering that the anears of needful repairs and other important works have been accumulating for a length of time, it is not to be . expected that arrangements can be made for givin()' immediate attention to all the claims at once, or that mistakes will not be ma<le in the execution of wo1i:s requiring experience which is only to be gained

·9

through personal acquaintance with the special requirements of Schools. The cost of the service will probably exceed the estimate for the first year or two, but it is bad economy to defer action in matters of urgency, and it should be remembered that some of the most serious dilapidations have resulted from the want of prompt attention at a time when only trivial repairs were required. It is necessary to remark that some teachers do not appear to have a sufficient sense of personal responsibility for the care of the school premises, furniture, and apparatus, and it will be advisable to take measures to discourage the existence or growth of the habit of looking to "Government" to remedy every little defect which might have been prevented by good management and ordinary care.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.

Many of the deficiencies which have been reported under this head are connected with a want of orderly arrangement of school-rooms with regard to furniture, apparatus, books, slates, hats, etc., and the improved provision for school requirements which may be looked for under the new system will remove some of the obstacles which have impeded even the best teachers in their endeavours to train children in habits of neatness and order. It will then be easier to deal with the cases in which no such excuse exists.

The discipline of schools, so far as regards the ~ubordination of the scholars to their teachers, is generally satisfactory, and in some the entire management in all that concerns the control and training of children is as good as can be reasonably expected, allowance being of course made for defects arising from the inexperience of young assistants. Some teachers are singularly unobservant of irregularities which in one shape or another are continually going on under their eyes, such as conversation, or general disorder in the desks; the formation or growth of bad habits in the way of slovenliness, lounging attitudes in class, and , other details of daily conduct which it is especially the province of the elementary teacher to regulate and control; and in such matters as these the want of proper training is first seen. There is no immediate remedy available, but it cannot be too strongly impressed upon teachers that the work of the instructor does not properly begin until the discipline of the school has been raised to a standard which can be fairly described as satisfactory.

INSTRUCTION.

Although, for reasons stated above, it has not always been possible to thoroughly test the efficiency of school teaching and training in all their details, there has been no point of importance left doubtful, and the degree of faithfulness with which the leading principles of the programme of instruction have been carried into effect is shown in my separate reports on the schools. Without going minutely into the calculation and statement of results, which often lead to erroneous conclusions and unfair comparisons, I may cite some leading facts which will throw light upon the average standard of proficiency. All exceptional cases,. as, for instance, where a considerable proportion of the scholars were unavoidably absent on the only day available for the examination, are omitted from consideration.

Taking the three classes which represent the upper half of the Public School course, I find the following results of classification, which is the 'Teacher's statement of the proficiency of his scholars as estimated under the guidance of his printed instructions. The per-centage upon the total number examined in the schools is appended :- - ·

Classes IV., V., and VI. ••••••..•. Classes V. and VI. ••..•••.......... Classes VI. alone .•••••••••........

564, or 19·61 per cent. 218, or 7·57 per cent. 54, or 1 ·87 per cent.

Tested by examination in the essential subjects of elementary instruction, this classification showed a considerable falling off from the true standard of minimum profieiency. In Class IV., out of 346 examined, 234 passed as being qualified for that grade; in Class V., out of 164 examined, 112 passed; and in Class VI., out of 54 examined, 35 passed. There are circumstances in which a teacher may be justified in classifying particular children in a higher grade than their attainments warrant ; but after allowing an ample margin for such cases, there is still far too great a discrepancy between· the classification and the actual proficiency of the children. This is only to be accounted for · on one of three gronnds,-that the teacher has forgotten the plain instructions of the programme ; that he does not know what the children's educational condition really is ; or that he has purposely classified them above their true position in the hope that the deficiency may be made up before the Inspector comes to examine them. In contrast to such irregularities it is very gratifying to note the good work done in some' schools, the number of which is steadily though slowly increasing, and which not only show a fair proportion of children placed and passing satisfactorily in the higher classes in. the essential subjects, but also furnish evidence which proves that the cultivation of intelligence has progressed side by side with that of rote instruction and mechanical ~~ffi~ -

Attention has been called in former reports to the common defects in Reading, and to the obstacles with which teachers have had to contend in dealing with the subject. These are now in a fair way of being remedied by the adoption of a new series of reading books, and though some time will elapse before full effect can be given to the alteration, the chief difficulty which has impeded the efforts of both Inspectors and Teachers is now removed.

Of other subjects of elementary instruction I have nothing new to report. The Writing aud Spelling continue to be most satisfactory under those teachers who give attention to the subject in its earliest stages, and who lay stress upon the habit of transcribin~ from books, with careful correction of errors, after the first principles of a bold style of handwriting have been mastered.

10

The principles of Arithmetic are still imperfectly taught in a large proportion of the schools. The use of arithmetic cards is becoming more general, and will give aid materially in securing independent work, and checking the habit of copying, which is a common cause of failure in this subject.

Though too great reliance upon text books in elementary schools is much to be deprecated; especially ·in the teaching of such subjects as Grammar, Geography, and History, the want of simple and satisfactory manuals in these subjects is much felt. With the present wide range of choice it requires much more than the average amount of skill and judgment possessed by teachers to ensure a knowledge of what is really essential, and to avoid directing attention to unnecessary or useless matter.

Oral teaching, as a special branch of instruction, almost necessarily implies a certain extent of previous careful training, and unless this has been available to the teacher it is seldom that he can introduce what are known as Object Lessons with any good result.

No general rule appears to be followed in connection with Home Lessons. For children in the lower portion of the school course they should be very simple, and consist chiefly of memory exercises which camiot be conveniently learnt during school hours. In the higher classes, while it is an advantage to the children to have to reproduce or learn thoroughly portions of subjects which they have previously been taught in class, it is important that they shall have no ,tasks set them in which extraneous help is required, that their home lessons shall be carefully revised by the teacher, and that they shall not be expected to give up too much time to their preparation,-an hour in the evening ought to be quite sufficient if the work is properly regulated by the teacher. Parents naturally object to have their homes turned into schoolrooms, or to undertake what is properly the function of the regular instructor. ,

GENERAL.

The Exhibitions which ·are annually awarded to scholars from the Public Schools to enable them to prosecute their studies, appear generally to have been won by the steady and industrious, and in several instances have admirably vindicated the object of their establishment. That they should have had any general influence for good upo·n the school system was not to be expected ; indeed the problem of the present day is how to counteract the injurious effects almost inseparable from all schemes of competitive examination, the prizes in which are obtained by scholars set apart and specially prepared, and sometimes so prepared by sacrificing the interests of their fellows. Much, however, cJ.epends on the scheme of competition, and on the examiners. The Examinations for the Public School Exhibitions should promote, as far as is possible, faithful and efficient teaching during a series of years, and discourage ' cramming,' or special preparat~on for a short period of time. ·

As the question of providing some means of regular -training is now under the consideration of the Board, I need not reiterate the arguments which I have used in favour of such a measure for many years past. There is a fair supply of candidates who are personally eligible for employment, but quite unacquainted with the principles and practice of teaching and school-management, and more would apply but for their sense of their own failings in this respect. The most striking deficiency is, perhaps, the want of one or more good Infant Schools, by attending which the female assistants in large schools, and the female teachers in charge of the small provisional schools "'hich are annually increasing in number, might in a short time become qualified for the very elementary duties which most of them are called upon to discharge.

I have, &c.

The Chairman Board of Education. T. STEPHENS, Chief Inspector <if Schools.

APPENDIX B,

GENERAL Repo1·t /01· tlte Year 1881, by JAMES RULE, Esq., Inspector of Schools.

Sm, Hobart, 28th June, 1882.

I HAVE the honor to submit to the Board of Education my General Report for the year 1881.

1. The districts under my supervision during the last five years extend northward from Ross and Lisdillon to the Straits, and westward from George's Bay to the River Montagu. There were in all ninety-nine scl:10ols open during the whole or a part of last year. Of these three received only one visit of inspection, b~1~g clos~d when one or other of my regular tours was made in their respective districts; seventy were v1s1ted twice; twenty, thrice; three, four times; one received six, and two seven visits. The average du_ration of these 235 visits was one hour and fifty-eight minutes. 'fhe amount of travelling involved in tins and other work was rather less than that of former years. In addition to the inspection of schools and the reporting and correspondence therewith connected, the year's work included seven special visits to districts requiring schools, the examination, at irregular intervals, of twenty-nine candidates for employment or promotion, and the work devolving on me as a member of the Board of Examiners in the regular Annual Examinations of Teachers and others.

11 2. The following figures will help towards a rough estimate of the work done by the Public Schools in

the North duriug the last quinquennium :-

3. The results of last year's Examinations are summarised in the following Tables: but I must here explain that, in estimating the work of the schools individually from year to year, it is not enough to take as criteria only the classification, the average age of scholars, and the per-centage of" passes." These would be sufficient if children at all the schools began their education at the same age, and were kept with uniformly regular attendance during the same periods, without moving from school to school. But these conditions are never met with even approximately. It is therefore necessary to note the attainments of children individually at every annual examination and to compare these attainments with those noted for them in former years, helping and hindering circumstances being carefully taken into account:-'-

4. In the comparison oflast year's results with those of former years, it may be noticed that there has been an increase in the number of schools, the attendance, the numbers present at the examinations, and the per-centao-e found instrncted up to the lowest standard that can be considered passable for those ( of whom there are ~any) leaving school before advancing further. This standard implies ability to read ordinary narrative with fluency and intelligence, to write on paper from copy and on slate from dictation, and to work sums in the fir·st four arithmetical rules and the addition of monev. It is obvious that these attain­ments can be of little permanent value to children, if their instruction• is not ·continued after they leave school; for by most of those who do not use them they will be forgotten, long before social and business requirements act as inducements to self-improvement. As a foundation for the knowledge of human affairs required by every citizen, the instruction prescribed for the sixth or highest class is insufficient; and it would be well to·supplement the programme by adding a seventh standard, to give direction to the instruc­tion of scholars attending school after having reached the highest at present recognised. The adoption of a new series of books for the various classes has relatively changed the standards of reading, and a re-adjust­ment of the other subjects is thus rendered necessary. I would advise that an amended prof"ramme provide for instruction in elementary science and such results· of scientific research as have refation to human welfare.

12

· 5. In close connection with the instruction prescribed for scholars stands the scale of qualifications for probationary teachers, and applicants for classification as certificated teachers. There are several points in which this is susceptible of improvement. One defect has long been felt as a hindrance to education,-it is the fact that the attainments prescribed for a probationary teacher are lower than those of scholars fit to pass into the Sixth Class. The result ot this anomaly is that in many schools there is no Sixth Class, and in a considerable number no Fifth or Fourth.

6. The same result (low classification) is too often found in· schools conducted by teachers 01 undoubted ability, and is attributable to the irregularity of the children's attendance·, and the shortness of their school life. The Public Schools Act has, by its compulsory clause, helped, but in a small measure, to remedy this evil. It is only in extreme cases that coercion can be recommended as salutary. A· too ready recourse to threats begets a spirit of antagonism to the school and all. connected with it; and on that account it is a mistake for teachers to act as accusers, or even to mention the law by way of threat. It is gratifying to find here and there an enthusiastic teacher, supported 1:,y the sympathy of influential members of the community, who actively encourage a healthy public opinion as to the duty of parents in the education of their children, securing a very satisfactory attendance without a hint at penalties from any quarter.

7. Local School Boards have often been blamed for taking little or no interest in their schools; and it is not to be denied that in some cases the reproach is merited. But it is a mistake to consider that the interest felt by the individual members, or the assistance they render to the schools, is correctly indicated by the number of their meetings. Many districts could be mentioned where very few Board meetings have been held, while both the Chairman and the Members generally have given valuable assistance in administration and inspection, and to the utmost of their power· supported the teachers in their .work. A judicious increase to the authority with which the Boards are invested is advisable.

8. It is gratifying to notice a gradual increase in the number of school buildings of a superior class; thougl1 there is still much to be done in this dire~tion. In point of hygiene some of the old buildings are very unsatisfactory. The use of cesspits in connection with schools ought to be discontinued: there are strong reasons for believing that infectious diseases are propagated by this means. Another dange1· of infection arises from a deficiency in the supply of pegs for hats and cloaks; which are too often seen heaped together on spare desks, window-sills, or the floor. A few tea,chers are still found forgetting how important to themselves and their scholars is the necessity for taking every opportunity to renew the air of the school­room. This alone is a sufficient reason for making a short adjournment to the play-ground in the middle of each half day's work.

9. In the face of many hindrances there has been, on the whole, a slow but marked improvement in the general management of the schools. The number of teachers that make their work a subject of real thought is increasing. The establishment of a good training school, to which promising untrained teachers may be admitted, will be found a valuable means to further and quicker improvement.

I have, &c. The Clwi1-man Board of Education. J. RULE.
