Report of the Minister of Public Instruction. 



To His Excellency the Right Honorable Sir Robert William Duff, 
a Member of Her Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Council, a 
Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint 
Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of 
the Colony of New South Wales and its Dependencies, 

May it please your Excellency, — 

I have the honor to submit to your Excellency the Report 
of the Department of Public Instruction for the year 1893. The 
Report deals fully with the educational work carried on under the 
provisions of the Public Instruction Act of 1880, and embraces 
summaries of similar work done in State-aided Institutions of an 
educational character. 

The number of schools on the list in the year was 2,520, 
embracing 2,741 separate departments, with accommodation for 229,004 
pupils. The gross enrolment of pupils was 238,951, the mean quarterly 
enrolment, 186,327, and the average attendance, 128,322. The staff 
of teachers, all grades included, numbered 4,527. By additions to 34 
existing buildings and the erection of 98 new buildings, accom- 
modation was provided for 10,262 more children than in 1892. 

2,497 schools, comprising 2,720 departments, were inspected 
during the year. In Primary Schools, 140,713 pupils were examined — 
81,465 in the course of instruction for Classes land II, and 56>248 in

higher-class courses. 620 High School pupils were also examined. 
In the different classes of the Primary Schools, 82 per cent, passed in 
reading, 83 per cent, in writing, 72 per cent, in arithmetic and 
grammar, 75 per cent, in dictation and Australian history, and 76 per 
cent, in drawing and geography. In Superior and High Schools 
suhjects, from 67 to 100 per cent, satisfied the standard, while in all 
the schools inspected the discipline was reported as satisfactory. 
During the year, 97 candidates were successful in obtaining Scholar- 
ships and Bursaries for secondary or higher education. The number 
of School Savings Banks increased by 10, and the Cadet Force, 
omitting the senior cadets, showed an enrolment of 4,179. 

The total expenditure of the year under the Public Instruction 
Act was £715,219 9s. 7d., and towards this sum school fees amoxmting 
to £73j267 lis. 3d. were collected and paid into the Treasury. The 
cost of maintaining' the Technical Branch was £28,525 lis. 6d., 
including £6,605 2s. 9d. spent on the Technological Museum. The 
sum of £3,424 16s, 6d. was paid as fees by students. Details res- 
pecting the whole work carried on are shown under the headings . 
which follow : — 

I. — Schools. 

In 1893 there were 2,520 schools, containing 2,744 departments, 
as compared with 2,502 schools and 2,724 departments open in 1892. 
During the year, 78 schools were established, comprising 12 Public, 
43 Provisional, 16 Half-time, 6 House-to-house Schools, and 1 Evening 
School. In addition to these, 10 schools were re-opened, 27 Provisional 
and 2 Half-time Schools were raised to the rank of Public Schools, and 
15 Half-time and 4 House-to-house Schools to the rank of Provisional 
Schools; while 34 Public and 32 Provisional Schools were reduced to 
Half-time or House-to-house Schools. Seventy of the schools in 
operation during the whole or some portion of 1892 do not appear on 
the list of schools open in 1893, and of those actually in operation in 
that year 83 were closed before the last quarter. The number of 
schools open at the close of 1893 was 2,437, containing 2,660 
departments.

Schools by 101 and 276 respectively, while of House-to-house Schools, 
first started in 1883, there are now 90. During the twelve years 
referred to the Evening Schools have decreased from 57 to 9. 

In addition to the schools established and maintained under 
the Public Instruction Act, the following State supported or aided 
schools are still in operation, namely, the Sydney Grammar School, 
the two Industrial Schools, and the School for the Deaf and Dumb 
and the Blind. 

School Premises and Sites. — The number of school sites 
acquired during the year was 148. Of these, 89 were Government 
grants ; 43 were resumed under the Public Works Act, 51 Vic. No. 
37 ; 12 were purchased ; and 4 were gifts from private individuals. 
Tiie cost of the purchased sites amounted to £3,070 5s. 6d., and the 
sum of £75 17s. 3d. was paid on account of those resumed. The 
balance to be paid for the latter, when the claims have been settled, is 
£584 Os. 3d. Full particulars as to the sites will be found in Appendix 
XXI. 

Buildings. — At the close of 1893, existing school premises 
afforded room for 229,004 pupils, about 95 per cent, of tliis accommo- 
dation being in vested premises. Of the school-places counted in 1892, 
about 5,040 were lost in 1893 by the closing of schools and by the 
giving up of old buildings. The net increase for 1893 was 6,927. 
Taking the building- work done in the last two years, it may be observed 
that, in 1893, 58 new schools and residences were erected under the 
Architect's supervision, as compared with 51 built in 1892 ; while the 
additions numbered 21, as compared with 28 ; the premises repaired, 
335, as compared with 418 ; and the places provided, 7,852, as compared 
with 7,511 for the same period. It may also be noticed that the 
number of small school-buildings and residences erected under the 
Inspectors' supervision was 58, as compared with 98 put up in 1892, 
and that the number of places provided in 1893 was 1,939, as compared 
with 3,030 in the previous year. 

At the close of 1893, the following additional works were in 
progress : — 5 new buildings, 3 additions, and 7 buildings for small 
.country schools, the whole to provide for about 1,400 children. Onp

The amount expended on Public School sites, buildings, furni- 
ture, repairs, and rents in 1893 was £110,119 6s. lOd. The total 
expenditure on these items since 1880 is £2,387,125 8s. Id. 

School Attendance. — Returns for Public Schools for the year 
show a gross aggregate enrolment of 238,951 pupils, as compared with 
239,361 imder instruction in 1892. Deducting the usual 12 per cent.

for multiple enrolments, it will Ve seen that the number of individual 
pupils was 210,277. Tliis number equals 92*2 per cent, of the 
total population of the Colony between the ages of 6 and 14, and 71*1 
per cent, of the number between the ages of 4 and 14. The returns 
show no increase in nimibers as regards either the enrolment or the 
average attendance. This is wholly attributable to the severity of the 
epidemics of measles and diphtheria which visited all parts of the 
Colony during the latter half of 1893. So widespread was the dread 
caused even when disease was not actually present, that for weeks 
together, very many schools were almost empty — the attendance 
falling from hundreds to tens — ^while others were absolutely without 
pupils. The effect upon the schools of this visitation will be seen on 
reference to page 6, where the enrolment and average attendance are 
stated for each quarter of the years 1892 and 1893. At the ^nd of 
June quarter, the enrolment and average attendance in 1S93, as 
compared with 1892, gave an increase of 2,301 and 2,883 respectively; 
but the end of the second half-year shows a falling off in 1893 of 
5,694 in the enrolment and of 9,657 in the average attendance. Com- 
paring the December quarter of 1893 with the June quarter of the 
same year, the decrease in numbers is still more remarkable, the 
pupils enrolled being fewer in December quarter by 10,000, and those 
in average attendance by 12,898. 

The gross and corrected enrolments for the last five years, 
taking 12 per cent, as representing the multiple enrolments in each 
year, are given in the following table : —

In addition to the 210,277 pupils enrolled in schools under the 
Public Instruction Act, there were 1,136 in attendance at other State- 
aided Schools, namely : — 

The Sydney Grammar School ... 475 

The Industrial Schools 582 

The School for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind 79

Estimating the mean population of the Colony for 1893 at 
1,210,510, the population between 6 and 14 years of age was 227,851. 
Of this number, 177,583, or 77*9 per cent., attended State Schools, and 
50,268, or 22*1 per cent., received instruction in Private Schools or 
at home, or else remained altogether untaught. From the latest 
returns of Private Schools' attendance it appears that the total enrol- 
ment was 46,860. As of this enrolment 33,750 pupils were between 
the ages of 6 and 14, it will be seen that of the total statutory school 
population of 227,851, about 211,333, or 92*7 per cent., were enrolled 
at State and Private Schools, while 16,518, or 7*3 per cetit., were 
taught at home, had left school after satisfying the standards of the 
Act, or remained untaught. In addition to pupils of the statutory 
school age, 25,119 under 6 years of age, and 21,828 over 14 years, 
were also enrolled for school attendance — 33,837 at State Schools, 
and 13,110 at Private Schools. Thus, of 319,976 children in the 
Colony between the ages of 4 and 15 years, 211,420 attended State 
Schools, and 46,860 attended Private Schools ; while the remainder, 
61,696, received instruction at home, had completed their education, 
or were untaught. 

The average quarterly enrolment was 186,327, and the average 
attendance 128,322. Prom causes which have been already explained, 
the regularity of attendance, as tested by comparing the average 
attendance with the enrolment, was considerably lower than, in 1892. 

In the first half of the year 124,644 pupils, and in the second 
half 120,633 pupils, attended the ordinary day-schools 70 days or 
more.

The main facts relative to school attendance may be summed 
up thus : — 211,333, or 92'7 per cent, of the statutory population, were 



Digitized by VjOOQIC 



10 Mepari of the lEmater ^f JPublio In^ructum. 

enrolled for school attendance ; 177,583, or 77'9 per cent., at State 
Schools ; and 33,750, or 14*8 per cent., at Private Schools. Of the 
ordinary school population between 4 and 15 years — 258,280, or 
80*7 per cent, were at school; 211,420, or 66 per cent., at State 
Schools ; and 46,860, or 14*7 per cent., at Private Schools. 210,277 
children attended schools under the Public Instruction Act ; 177,056 
being of the statutory school age, and 33,221 either above* or below 
it. The mean quarterly enrolment was 186,327, or 88*6 per cent, of 
the year's em'olment ; and the average attendance was 68*8 of the 
quarterly enrolment. Of the average enrolment, 662 per cent, attended 
school 70 days or more in the first half-year, and 66*1 per cent, in the 
last half-year. The percentage of the population enrolled quarterly, 
and the corresponding percentage in average attendance in 1893, were 
respectively 15*3 and 10*6, as compared with 15*6 and ll'l in 1892. 

Compulsory Clauses of the Fuhlic Instruction Act. — During 
the half-year ended 30th June, 1893, 33,937 children failed to attend 
school for 70 days, as required by the Act. As satisfactory excuses, 
however, were received from 27,999, the number of defaulters under 
the law amounted to 5,938. The parents or guardians of 5,104 of 
these were recommended for cautions, and prosecutions were authorised 
in 834 cases. 

For the half-year ended 31st December, 1893, there were 
34,449 children who failed to make the prescribed minimum atten- 
dance. Satisfactory explanations were received in regard to 30,443, 
the parents or guardians of 3,557 were recommended for cautions, 
while in 449 cases legal measures were taken. 

The default for the half-year ended 30th June amounted to 
3'1 per cent, of the average enrolment for the year, while for the 
December haK-year the percentage was 2*1 . 

With a view to the more economical working of this branch, 
the services of the attendance officers were dispensed with on the 
30th June, and arrangements made with the Inspector-General of 
Police for the transfer to the police of loost of ttie duties hitherto 
performed by such officers.

As set forth in previous reports, tlie Act requires amendment 
in certain important particulars, in order tliat the non-attendance at 
school of children between 6 and 14 years of age may be dealt with, 
and their employment in factories, &c., prevented. The directions in 
which the Act needs alteration have been frequently pointed out, and 
are as follow : — 

I. Provision to deal effectively with children found idling about 

the streets during school-hours evading the law. 

II. Authority to ascertain conclusively, by compulsory registra- 

tion, the number and names of all children in the Colony of 
statutory age. 

III. Placing the onus of proof of age and of the fulfilment of 
minimum attendance on the parents or guardians. 

IV. The power to compel teachers of private schools to furnish 
accurate returns of enrolment and attendance. 

V. The inclusion of a clause making it penal to employ children 

of school age, unless, educated up to standard requirements. 

Collection of School Fees. — In view of the distress that has 
existed throughout the Colony during the year, the Department has 
exercised considerable leniency in dealing with arrears of school fees. 
A large number of debts has been cancelled, and free education 
granted in very many cases. Legal action for the recovery of arrears 
was authorised in 154 cases. The total amount of fees collected 
during 1893, and paid into Consolidated Revenue, was £73,267 lis. 3d. 

II. — Inspection. 

No alteration was made during the year in the arrangements 
for carrying on the work of inspection, but several changes took place 
in the personnel of the inspectoral staff, arising out of the lamented 
death of Mr. Gerald O'Byme, District Inspector for the Wagga 
Wagga district, and the superannuation of Inspectors C. Hookins and 
J. H. Murray — all officers of abiliiy and long experience whose 
services the Department could ill spare. The vacancies tlius caused 
were filled by the promotion of Mr. Inspector Lawf ord to the office of

District Inspector, and the appointment as Inspectors of Mr. A. D. 
McKenzie, late Principal Teacher of Newtown Superior Public Schooli 
^nd Mr. Peter Board, late Head-master of the Superior Public School 
at Erskineville. 

"With the exception of 23 schools which were not in existence 
at the time others in their neighbourhood were visited; all schools were 
subjected to rigid examination, the inspections occupying from one 
day to three weeks according to the size of the school. Thus out of 
2,738 schools (exclusive of the High Schools), 2,715 underwent 
inspection, while 402 received a second visit. 

The subjoined table will show how the schools were

The Course of Secular Instruction and Standards of Pro- 
ficiency. — The standards pf proficiency were the same as for the 
previous year, and speaking generally, worked satisfactorily. Their 
requirements are high, but may be readily satisfied by the painstaking 
teacher. During the year these standards have been rigidly applied,

la 



and, while tlie results in certain subjects appear somewhat lower than 
those obtained in 1892, there is good reason for believing that the 
quality of the instruction and the attainments of the pupils liave, on 
the whole, improved. Having regard to the drawbacks under which 
teachers laboured in the second half of the year, through the pupils' 
irregular attendance in consequence of the prevalence of epidemics, the 
progress made is very gratifying. The table given below shows the 
proficiency of the pupils in the several subjects of examination : —

reading, 99 per cent, in writing, 77 per cent, in dictation, 97 per cent, 
in arithmetic, 39 per cent, in grammar, 39 per cent, in geography, 39 
per cent, in history, 96 in Scripture and moral lessons, 95 per cent, in

were in easy narrative, and 39*9 per cent, in ordinary prose. Of 
139,777 pupils examined in writing, 40 per cent, wrote on slates, and 
60 per cent, in copy-books or on paper. Of 137,845 pupils examined 
in arithmetic, 59*6 per cent, were tested in simple rules, 25 per cent, 
in compound rules, and 15'4 per cent in the higher rules. Of 55,442 
examined in grammar, 46*6 per cent, were learning the elementary part, 
and 53'4 per cent, the advanced part of the subject. In geography, 
of 65,455 examined, 44*6 per cent, were tried in the elementary 
portions of the subject, and 55*4 per cent, in the advanced part.

Viewdng the attainments generally, it will be seen from the 
information here given that, in addition to reading, which is taught to all 
scholars, more than 95 per cent, of the pupils in om^ schools are instructed 
in the following subjects : — ^Writing, arithmetic, Scripture and moral 
lessons, object lessons, drawing. Drill is taught to 94 per cent., music 
to 90 per cent., dictation to 77 per cent. ; 39 per cent, learn grammar, 
39 geography, and 39 per cent, history ; 78 per cent, of the girls 
learn needlework, while other subjects such as can be taught only to 
the elder pupils range from 1 to 6 per cent. 

With regard to the proficiency of the pupils examined, the 
results of inspection show that in reading 82 per cent, of the examinees 
passed, in writing 83 per cent., in dictation 75 per cent., and in arith- 
metic 72 per cent. The standard was satisfied by 72 per cent, in 
grammar, 76 in geography, and 73 and 75 per cent, respectively in 
English and Australian History. In Scripture and moral lessons 76 
per cent, passed, 78 in object lessons, 76 in drawing, and 77 per cent, 
in music. In other subjects the percentages were: — ^Prench, 72; 
Euclid, 77 ; algebra, 72 ; mensuration, 63 ; Latin, 71 ; trigonometry, 
100 ; needlework, 87 ; drill, 78 ; and natural science, 82. Compared 
with last year, the above percentages show improvement in most of 
the more important subjects. The proportion of passes was 1 per cent, 
higher in dictation, reading, English History, music, Erench, and 
drill ; 2 per cent, higher in writing and drawinjg ; 3 per cent, in

needlework ; 4 per cent, in natural science. In arithtnetic, geography. 
Scripture, object lessons, and Euclid, the percentiage of passes is the 
same as in 1892. 

The following table summarises the progress in efficiency made 
in the different classes of schools during the past five years : —

These figures show that the results are much better than in the 
previous year. While the percentage of schools up to or above the 
standard has remained the same in the case of Public Schools, there has 
been an increase in efficiency of 7 per cent, in Provisional, 3 per cent, in 
Half-time Schools, 2 per cent, in House-to-house, and 8 per cent, in 
Evening Schools. ThcT total efficiency of all schools was greater by 
2 per cent, than in 1892, and very satisfactory progress has been made. 

Focal Music. — Of 127,185 pupils present at inspection, 76 per 
cent, satisfied standard requirements in this subject. The Superin- 
tendent of Music examined all Public Schools within the Metropolitan 
District in vocal music and theory. Notwithstanding the interruption 
caused by the prevalence of sickness, the results are reported to be 
very satisfactory ; *^ the teaching has been more thorough, and, as 
many classes were often much reduced in numbers, the remaining 
children have been taught to rely more upon themselves." There has 
been a steady advance in reading at sight, and more earnest attention 
has been paid to the teaching of the lower classes. Many Public 
School pupils and pupil-teachers were successful at the Trinity College 
(London) musical examinations, and some passed in music at the 
Sydney University junior examination. 

Discipline. — All the Inspectors report favourably of the disci- 
pline maintained in schools. No feature of school management shows 
to greater advantage, and it is a rare circumstanpe to find a school

17 



without a carefully-arranged time-table, in which the profitable 
occupation of the pupils is fully provided for. Where military drill is 
regularly and thoroughly taught, the highest excellence in discipline 
is reached. Regularity of attendance excepted, all the points com- 
monly included under the head of discipline appear not only to receive 
due attention but to be well secured. The pupils attend with fair 
punctuality, present a neat, cheerful appearance, manifest a quiet, 
respectful demeanour, and yield a prompt and willing obedience. 

Drill. — Of 132,591 pupils examined, 78 per cent, were found 
to be up to or above the standard, being 3 per cent, more than in 1892. 
Every school in the Metropolitan District was visited, and examined 
in military drill, calisthenics, gallery exercises, and physical drill. 

Instruction was also given twice a week to the Hurlstone Col- 
lege students in school drill, calisthenics, infants' drill, gallery exer- 
cises, dumb-bell and wand exercises ; also in marching, playground 
order, and orders for marching in and out of school. The Fort-street 
students and the Metropolitan male pupil-teachers received the neces- 
sary drill instruction as members of the Training College Rifle Bat- 
talion, while the female pupil-teachers were afforded weekly instruction 
in coimection with the Fort-street Saturday classes. 

Sigh Schools. — The schools in operation were the same as in 1892. 
The total enrolment for the year was 815, and the average daily

Report of the Minister* of Public Instruction. 



During the year these schools hare maintained their high 
standard of eflGlcieney. They are reported by the examining Inspectors 
to be in a very healthy condition as to discipline, the pupils being 
orderly and diligent in study ; 655 pupils, or 83 per cent, of the year's 
enrolment, were present at the annual examinations, the percentages of 
passes ranging from 67 to 100 per cent. The following are some of the 
percentages :— Mensuration, 67; arithmetic, 72; Latin, 73; dictation 
and physiology, 74 ; English, trigonometry, and history, 79 ; Greek 
and physics, 80 ; drawing, 82 ; German, 83 ; conic sections, 84 ; needle- 
work, 100. The average for all subjects was 77*2 per cent. The 
number of passes obtained in connection with the University Junior 
and Senior Examinations is shown in the appended table : —

Of those who matriculated, 16 qualified at the Junior and 9 at 
the Senior Examination. A pupil of the Sydney Girls' High School 
succeeded in gaining the Fairfax Prize for general proficiency at the 
Junior Examination, while silver medals were awarded to High School 
pupils at the Senior Examination for proficiency in history of Europe, 
geography, and algebra. 

Erom 1st July, the fee charged in the High Schools was raised 
from £2 2s. to £3 3s. per quarter. It is expected that this step wiU 
considerably reduce the cost to the State of the maintenance of these 
schools. 

The total expenditure on High Schools for the year was 
£8,230 15s. lid., and the amount received from fees, £4,650 lis. lid. 
The actual cost to the State was, therefore, £3,580 4s., or at the rate of. 
£4 7s. lOd. j)er head of the total enrolment.

State Scholarships and Bursaries. — ^At tlie examinations held 
under the Scholarship and Bursary scheme, 97 candidates were 
successful. Of these, 25 males and 34 females obtained scholarships 
for High Schools and Superior Schools, 13 males and 15 females 
bursaries for High and Superior Schools, and 6 males and 4 females 
University bursaries. 

Of the 59 successful competitors for High School Scholarships, 
15 boys and 15 girls have since attended the Sydney High Schools, 
8 boys and 10 girls the Maitland High Schools, 9 girls have attended 
the Bathurst High School, 2 boys Superior Schools. Of the 28 
successful competitors for State School Bursaries, 6 boys and 6 girls 
have attended the Sydney High Schools, 5 boys and 4 girls the Maitland 
High Schools, 2 girls the Bathurst High School, 2 boys and 3 girls 
Superior Schools. 

Ten University Bursaries are available annually. Nine of them 
were awarded to High School pupils, 5 boys and 4 girls, and 1 was 
gained by a boy from the Port-street Model School. 

The total number of candidates examined for admission to the 
]^igh Schools was 798, of these 729, or 91*3 per cent, were successful. 

Superior Public Schools. — At the end of 1892 there were 92 
Superior Schools in operation. During 1893, 3 schools. Broken Hill, 
Tenterfield, and Waterloo, were added to the list, thus making a total 
of 95, comprising 241 Departments. The nimab'er of pupils attending 
Superior Schools for the last quarter of the year was 63,950. 

In addition to the subjects taught in ordinary Public Schools, 
the routine in Superior Schools embraces instruction in higher mathe- 
matics, natural science, Latin, and French, and, as far as practicable, 
the teaching in English, geography, and history is made to correspond 
with that prescribed for the Senior and Junior Examinations. The 
work done lias been of a satisfactory character. The Inspectors' 
reports show that the schools are fully organized, well disciplined, and 
efficiently taught, while the large number of pupils who passed the 
University Examinations affords additional evidence of the industry 
and skill of the teachers.

20 Beport of the Minister of Public Instruction. 

The total number of pupils from Superior Schools who were 
successful at the University Examinations was 265, namely, 7 seniors 
and 258 juniors, while other Public Schools, not classed as Superior, 
sent up 3 seniors and 62 juniors. These give a total of 330, which is 
31'5 per cent, of the aggregate number of passes. If the High Schools 
be added, the passes from schools under the Department represent 
40'4i of the whole. 

The successful seniors came from the undermentioned schools : — 
Cooma (Boys), Emmaville, Forest Lodge (Boys), Grenfell (Boys), 
Grenfell (Gu-ls), Guntawang, Newcastle (Boys), WoUongong (Boys), 
and Young (Girls). 

Evening Fublic Schools. — Eight applications for the establish- 
ment of Evening Schools were received ; 2 were granted, and 6 refused. 
The total number of schools in operation was 9, but 3 collapsed before 
the end of the year. On 31st December, there were only 6 schools in 
existence, having an enrolment of 210, with an average attendance 
of 102. 

Souse-iO'house Schools. — Of 15 applications received for these 
schools, 4 were granted, 10 refused, and 1 was still under consideration 
at the end of the year. There were 90 schools in operation during 
1893, rendering very valuable service in thinly-populated localities 
where the children are too few to justify the establishment of a EuU- 
time School. Of the 88 schools inspected, 78 per cent, were reported 
to be up to or above the standard. 

Technical Education in connection with Public Schools. — 
Elementary technical education is still carried on in connection with 
Public Schools. These include Kindergarten Schools and classes, 
drawing, oral lessons on common objects and in elementary science, 
planting and cultivating school-gardens and play-grounds, manual 
training in workshops for boys, and needlework and cookery for girls. 

Kindergarten. — The same fully-organised Kindergartens were 
in operation in 1893 as in the previous year. They are situated at 
Port-street, Riley-street, Australia-street, Alexandria, and Armidale 
West. In addition to these. Kindergarten classes are caiTied on in

Jteport qf the Minister of Fublic Instruction. 21 

connection with 37 Public Schools, 5, namely those at Clarence Town, 
Granville, Grafton, Penrith, and Redfem, having been brought into 
existence during the year. The complete Kindergartens have an 
attendance of 1,210 children, while the infants' departments and 
junior divisions of the schools, where special classes have been formed, 
show an enrolment of over 9,000 pupils. 

In addition to their other studies, all the students of the 
Training Schools, both male and female, are required to make them- 
selves acquainted with the theory and practice of Proebel's system, so 
that, when desirable, they may avail themselves of his methods jn the 
training of children placed under their care. The Regulations, more- 
over, prescribe Laurie's Kindergarten Manual as a text-book for the 
examination of all pupil-teachers. 

Drawing. — 134,833 pupils were examined by the Inspectors in 
this subject, of whom 102,249, or 76 per cent., satisfied the standard, 
an improvement of 2 per cent, upon 1892. All the schools in the 
Metropolitan District were visited, 83,599 pupils being present at 
examination, namely, 10,356 boys, 9,694 girls, and 13,649 infants. 
Of these, 22,365 were found to be up to or above the standard, 
showing -5 per cent, better results than in the previous year. The 
Superintendent of Drawing reports that the " teaching of freehand 
and geometrical drawing is improving, but that of object drawing 
leaves much to be desired." He is not satisfied with the results 
obtained ; but states that, in view of the more searching tests used, the 
progress is really greater than appears from a mere comparison of 
averages. 

At the annual inspection of the High Schools the work done 
in the presence of the Superintendent by all classes " reached a most 
satisfactory level." 

Details as to the progress of the training students and the 
pupil-teachers is given in the Superintendent's Report, Appendix XIII. 

Arlor Bay and the Planting of School-grounds. — ^Arbor Day 
was inaugurated as a special feature in 1890. Up to the close of 1893, 
1,878 applications for trees were received and dealt with. In view of 
Che need for retrenchment, it was found necessary to abolish the 



Digitized by VjOOQIC 



22 Jteport of the Minister ofFubUo Imtruetion. 

Arbor Day subsidies this year. The Department supplied the trees, 
and paid the freight, but no other monetary assistance was given. 
Trees obtained from the Botanic Gardens were planted in 245 
schools, at a total cost to this Department of £65 5s. Id. 

Manual Training. — No addition was made during the year to 
the number of classes in operation. Seven workshops are in existence : 
the one at Fort-street serves both the students at the Training School 
and the pupils of the Model School ; those at Sussex-street, Orown- 
street, Blackfriars, and East Maitland High School are used only by 
the pupils of the schools to which they are respectively attached; that 
at West Maitland is attended by pupils of three schools; while that at 
Croulbum meets the requirements of four schools. 

Including the training students, the total number attending 
these classes is 436. 

It is hoped that before long workshops will be started in 
connection with the Bathurst and Newcastle Public Schools. 

Cookery Instruction. — Classes were opened at Armidale and 
Glen Innes, while those at Carr's Creek, Grafton, and South Grafton 
were temporarily discontinued. With these exceptions, the classes in 
operation were the same as in 1892. The total enrolment for the year 
was 1,739, representing 38,004 attendances. Eleven teachers were 
employed, and the number of schools sending pupils to the classes 
was 26. - 

The Directress reports that the results of examinations during 
the year were very satisfactory, and that from many quarters she has 
received testimony as to the value of the instruction in cookery 
imparted in our schools. Details of the work done will be found in 
her Eeport. (Appendix XV). 

^eedleworh. — Of 47,813 female pupils examined, 41,699, or 87 
per cent., were found up to or above the standard, showing an improve- 
ment of 3 per cent, on the results of 1892. The Directress visited and 
reported upon 78 schools in and neax the Metropolis, including Hurl- 
stone Training School, the Girls High School, and the school at 
Eandwick Asylum. In all, 11,060 pupils weye present at examinntioxi.

Beport of the Minister of Fuhlic Instruction* 23 

Mrs. Dadley reports that the needlework executed "has been varied 
and useful, and will bear more than favourable comparison with that 
accomplished in the past three years.'' 

Fublic School Savings Banks. — Ten new banks were opened 
during the year, making the total number in operation 629. The 
amorunt deposited in the year was £9,912 9s. 9d., wliile the withdrawals 
reached the sum of £11,143 6s. lid. £8,418 4s. of tJiis was for current 
use, and £2,725 2s. lid. was transferred to the Government Savings 
Banks for deposit to the credit of children's own accounts therein. 

As compared with the figures for 1892, the deposits and trans- 
ferences show a decrease of £2,529 6s. 6d. and £826 6s. Id. respec- 
tively, and the withdrawals for current use a decrease of £630 3s. 6d. 
This falling off is wholly due to the contiimed depression which 
has affected all classes of the community. Although the total sum 
deposited was considerably smaller, it is gratifying to know that the 
interest of parents and pupils in the Savings Banks has not diminished. 
This is shown by the fact that no reduction has taken place in the 
number of individual depositors. JPor the seven years School Banks have 
now been in operation the aggregate deposits are £77,576 15s. lid., 
aad the number of Banks has increased from 255 in 1887 to 629 in 
1893. Of the total sum deposited, £48,649 4s. Id., or 62-7 per cent., 
has been withdrawn by depositors, £22,848 12s. 7d. has been trans- 
ferred to pupils' own separate accounts in the Government Savings 
Banks, and the balance, £6,078 19s. 3d., still remains in the School 
Banks to the credit of depositors. 

Teachers. — ^As was the case in 1892, the difficulty this year 
has been not to find teachers for schools, but to provide suitable 
schools for the large number of classified teachers trained under the 
Department, and of pupil-teachers who had completed their course 
but had failed to secure admission to the Training School. Only in 
the case of the smallest schools, House-to-House and Third-class 
Provisional, were teachers employed from outside the service. Thirty^^ 
three young persons were so appointed after giving satisfactory evidence 
of their qualifications for the office. The number of teachers whose 
connection with the Department ceased during 1893 was 211.

jReport of the Minister o/Fublie Instruction. 25 

Including teachers of all grades, the numher was 4,527, or 109 less 
than in 1892, hut exclusive of High School teachers, work-mistresses, 
and pupil-teachers, the numher was 3,272, or 24 more than in 1892. 
Of these, 57*7 per cent, were males, and 42-3 per cent, females; while 
77'3 per cent, were classified teachers and Training School students, 
and 22*7 per cent, were unclassified teachers. The latter have passed 
the usual examinations, and heen certified, and nearly all are in charge 
of small coimtry schools. Of the total numher of classified teachers, 
8*4 per cent, were in Class I, 35*5 per cent, in Class II, and 56*1 per 
cent, in Class III. In 1892 the percentages in the three classes were 
the same, and in 1891 they were 7, 38*1, and 54-9. 

FupiUteachers. — The numher of pupil-teachers employed was 
1,147, consisting of 399 males and 748 females. They were classed as 
follows : — First class, 298 ; second class, 2/7; third class, 332 ; fourth 
class, 221 ; prohationers, 19. 

During the year 436 applicants for appointment to the office of 
pupil-teacher were examined, and of these 268 were 'successful. Eighty- 
two of those awaiting employment were appointed to schools. In July 
the minimum age fixed for candidate pupil-teachers was raised from 
13 to 14 years. 

The pupil-teachers form a valuable body of assistants, and under 
watchful supervision and judicious training do a large amount of useful 
school- work. Their general conduct, zeal in the performance of duty> 
and diligence in study are very favourably reported on. 

Fort-street Training School. — ^Fifty-four students underwent 
training during the year, 28 being juniors in their first year, 23 
second-year, and 3 third-year students. Thirty-three held full scholar- 
ships, 18 half-scholarships, and 3 attended at their own cost. In 
addition to these, 3 students who had gained the Bachelor of Arts 
degree in the previous December were permitted to remain at the 
Training School in order to attend the Honours Examination in March,

1893, at which they all acquitted themselves vety creditably. Onihe 
Honours list they were placed as follows : — 

Mr. G. C. Henderson : University Gold Medal for Logic and 
Mental Philosophy. Professor Anderson's prize for Logic and . 
Mental Philosophy. John Prazer Scholarship for History. 
Pirst-class in History, Logic, and Mental Philosophy. 

Mr. W. L. Atkins : Froxime accessit for University Gold Medal 
in Logic and Mental Philosophy. Pirst-class in Latin, 
Prench, Logic, and Mental Philosophy. 

Mr. A. E. Chapman : Pirst-class in History, Thu'd-class in Logic 
and Mental Philosophy. 

Of the 54 students who were in training for the whole year, 3 
passed their B.A. examination in December, and 25 presented them- 
selves for Matriculation in March, all being successful. 

All the students except those in the Third year were examined 
at the Training School in music, drawing, and Art of Teaching. 
Those not attending University lectures were also examined in the 
subjects prescribed in the course of study. The following tables give 
particulars of the nature of the examinations, the number who attended,

As in previous years, a systematic course of lectures on the 
Science and Practice of Teaching was given to the students. This was 
supplemented by practical work in the school-rooms, by specimen 
test and criticism lessons, and by visits to the Kindergarten with a 
view to the study of Proebel's methods. Instruction in manual train- 
ing was also given regularly during the session; and in December 
an examination of the Pirst and Second year students was held 
by the Technical Education Officers with the following satisfactory

The Training College battalion, consisting of students in training 
and the male pupil-teachers attending the Saturday classes, has an 
enrolment of 189, inclusive of officers. During the year the members 
received regular instruction in drill, and lectures on the rifle and how 
to use it. Both students and pupil-teachers had the benefit of regular 
target practice at the Randwick rifle range.

28 jReport of the Minisier of Public Instruction. 

In October last some important alterations were eflfected in the 
inanagement of the Training School. Having regard to the close con- 
nection between the Training School and the Port-street Model School, 
and with a view to the more economical working of the former, it was 
decided to amalgamate the two institutions under one head. This 
change was rendered practicable by the fact that nearly all the students 
enrolled attended the University in the mornings, spending the after- 
noons in practical work in the Model School or in attending lectures 
bearing on school management. 

In pursuance of this arrangement other positions in the service 
were found for the Principal, Mr. J. Conway, and the Assistant Train- 
ing Master, Mr. J. M. Taylor, LL.B. ; while Mr. J. W. Turner, Head 
Master of the Model School, was placed in full control of the Training 
School, Mr. J. D. St. Clair Maclardy, M.A., retaining his position as 
Master in Mathematics and Languages. While by this means a 
substantial reduction has been made in the expense of working the 
Training School, it is believed that the efficiency of the instruction 
and of the training imparted to the students will be maintained at the 
same high standard as heretofore. 

Surhtone Training School for Female Students. — The health 
of the female students during the year was good, and their general 
conduct and attention to their studies were excellent. The total 
enrolment for the year was 54, 23 being senior or second-year students 
and 31 juniors. Twenty-eight held full scholarships, 19 half scholar- 
ships, and 7 attended at their own cost. 

Eighteen students attended the first-year course of University 
lectures. Twenty-three presented themselves for Matriculation in 
March, of whom 16 were successful. Of the 7 who did not pass, 3 
failed in Latin only, 1 in Mathematics, and 3 in Latin and Mathe- 
matics. Two of these obtained permission to attend evening lectures 
at the University, and the remaining 5 studied at the Training School 
with a view to examination at the end of the year for second-class 
certificates.

Mepart of the JBnister of Fublic Imtruction^ 29 

It is gratifying to be able to report that Miss Annie A. Kennedy, 
a student of Hnrlstone, suc<5eeded in obtaining honours in connection 
with the examination for the Bachelor of Arts degree. On the honours 
list she is placed first-class in Latin, Logic, and Mental Philosophy, 
French, and English; proxime accesaii for the University Gold 
Medal for Logic and Mental Philosophy ; and was awarded Professor 
MacCallum's prize for English Essay. 

The practical training of the students consisted of {a) attend- 
ance in the Practising School ; (6) special criticism lessons to classes 
drawn from the Practising School, given weekly by students in the 
presence of their fellows, the method and style of teaching being 
criticised by the Principal, the Mistress of the Practising School, and 
the students themselves ; (c) weekly half-hour lessons in the theory 
of music, given by students to children, and criticised by the Super- 
intendent of Music ; and (d) gallery lessons and drill orders given by 
students to fellow students, sometimes to children, and criticised by 
Captain Mulholland. Instruction is given to the students in the 
Kindergarten system on Saturday mornings by the Mistress of the 
Kindergarten at Port-street. 

No alteration took place in the teaching staff during the year. 

Teachers^ Examinations. — ^The total number of examinees of 
all classes during the year was 2,979. The percentage of passes of 
teachers was 41-8, and of pupil-teachers, 886. The total number of 
pupil-teachers reported on was 1,055, as against 648 in 1892. Of the 
Pirst Class pupil- teachers examined in December for admission to the 
Training Schools, the male examinee who succeeded in obtaining the 
highest number of marks was Mr. William Russell, of the Grafton 
Superior Public School, while Miss Sarah Molster, of the Singleton 
Superior Public School, headed the list of female pupil-teachers. 
These pupil-teachers will be presented with the Jones Memorial 
Medals which are awarded annually to the candidates, male and 
female, who show the greatest proficiency at the examination for 
admission to the Training Schools. The pupil-teachers, as a whole, 
have acquitted themselves very creditably.

Teachers' Mutual Assurance Association. — Six members of this 
Association died in 1893, and in each case the claim, amounting to 
about £80, was promptly met. Since the formation of the Association 
in 1869, the average annual death-rate has been only 1*2 per cent. 
Taking the years 1883 to 1893 inclusive, the amount paid annually by

each member, by way of premium, Las averaged £1 4s. lOd., a little 
over 1^ per cent, on the sum payable at death. 

The entrance fee for members joining between the ages of 30 
and 40 years has now been reduced to £1 Is. for each year over the 
age of 30 ; while applications for membership from persons over 40 
years of age are dealt with on their merits. Ordinary members 
continue to pay a call of 5s. on the death of any of their number, but 
teachers joining the Association under 25 years of age only pay 3s., 
and between the ages of 25 and 30, 4s. per call. 

Teachers' Jtlmoluments.^—In accordance with the scheme of 
financial retrenchment adopted by the Government, the salaries of all 
teachers in the Service sufEered a reduction of 6 per cent, from the 1st 
July, 1893. The salaries now paid to teachers of all ranks are given

t In the case of Infants' Schools, mistresses are required to hold a classification of II A. 

Half-time iSbAoo{«.— Half-time Schools are classified in the same manner as Public Schools, and teachers are paid the 
same rates of salary as Public School teachers of corresponding classification, with forage allowance of £10 a year where 
necessary. 

Hoiise'tO'hojise Schools.— Te&Ghers are paid at the rate of £4 158. per annum for each pupil in average attendance up 
to a maximum salary of £05 per annum, with forage allowance as in Half-time Schools. 

Evening Schools. -^TeAchen are paid, in addition to school fees, a salary of £19, £25, £30, or £86, according to the 
number of pupils in average attendance.

In addition to the salaries quoted, residences, vested or rented, 
are provided for classified male married teachers in charge of classified 
Public Schools. Where a residence is rented, it must be as near as 
practicable to the school premises. 

Local Supervision. — ^Four additional sub-districts were formed 
during 1893, and Public School Boards appointed thereto. In addition 
to the appointment of these Boards, 61 members were added to the 
Boards already in existence. The total number of Boards in operation 
at the end of the year was 283 on 47 of which ladies held seats. The 
resignations of 44 members were accepted. 

Scientific and Technical Education. — The work of this branch 
was carried on under the control of the Superintendent of Technical 
Instruction, whose detailed report forms Appendix XX. 

The urgent necessity for rentrenchment in the public service 
led to the reduction of the Vote for Technical Education from £49,800 
in 1892, to £25,367 in 1893. To limit the expenditure, it was deemed 
advisable to close the branch schools at twelve centres of population, 
to discontinue the classes in certain subjects, and in the case of others, 
to permit the teachers to continue teaching without payment of salaries, 
their remuneration to consist only of the fees of the students. 

The total number of classes in operation during 1893, was 201, 
but 14 of these were closed at the end of the first term. 187 classes 
were carried on throughout the whole year, and were thus distributed : —

Deducting from the total enrolment all multiple enrolments, 
the number of individual students attending classes during the year 
was 5,662, the weekly average being 3,962-4. 

The staff employed consisted of 11 lecturers, 5 resident masters 
in charge of branch schools, 33 salaried teachers, 14 assistant teachers, 
and 23 teachers in charge of classes remunerated by fees only. In 
addition to the ordinary class work, popular lectures on various sub- 
jects were given at different centres throughout the Colony. The Rev. 
J. Milne Curran, F.G.S., lectured in Geology and Mineralogy to 
audiences aggregating 13,360 persons, or an average of over 300 
persons at each lecture. Practical demonstration and simple tests for 
minerals, also, were frequently given by that gentleman to parties of 
working miners during his tours. In the matter of bee culture, 77 
lectures were delivered to audiences numbering in the aggregate more 
than 9,000 persons, and practical lessons in horticulture were given to 
the pupils of 78 Public Schools. Notwithstanding that the time of 
the lecturer in agriculture was almost entirely taken up with class 
work, that officer found opportunities to give popular lectures in agri- 
culture at Canley Vale, Carlingford, Hornsby, Mangrove Creek, and 
Thomleigh. 

The number of students examined was 2,157 including 320 
Public School pupils tested in manual training. Of these 1,575 or 73 
per cent, satisfied the Examiners, being an improvement on the results 
of 1892 of 4-8 per cent. 

Works of students of the technical classes are sent annually to 
South Kensington for classification by the Examiner of the Science 
and Art Department of Great Britain. Returns of the results in the 
national competition for 1893, show that 2 bronze medals and 4 book 
prizes were gained by students of the Sydney Technical College,

Twenty-seven students also passed the technological examinations of 
the City and Guilds of London Institute for the advancement of tech- 
nical education, 14 obtaining honors, in. the case of 7 of the highest 
class. 

The new Technological Museum built at Ultimo was formally 
opened by His Excellency the Governor on 4th August last. This 
building is 183 feet long by 50 feet wide, and has a basement storey 
under one-half its length, three whole storeys and an attic storey. 
The amount of space provided on each floor is 9,150 square feet, and 
of wall space 0,000 feet, making in all 27,450 feet of floor space and 
18,000 of wall space, exclusive of the basement. The cost of the 
building was £20,000. During the year the attendance at the several 
museums was : —

amounted to £28,525 lis. 6d. Of this sum £25,100 15s. Od. was a 
Parliamentary grant and £3,424 l^s. 6d. was paid as fees by students. 

JPuhlic School Cadet Force. — ^FuU information as to the condi- 
tion of the Public School Cadet Force will be found in the report of 
the Officer Commanding, which appears as Appendix XIX. 

Por the last quarter of 1893 the total enrolment of the force 
was 4,179. This is exclusive of the senior cadet corps, which under 
arrangements approved of by Major-General Hutton, was taken over 
by the Military Department, and will, for the future, be affiliated with 
the partially-paid volunteer regiments. 

Several important changes were made in the cadet staff daring 
the year, which, as regards numbers, was reduced by one-half. Major 
Dettmann was appointed to the chief command wdth the designation

of OiBcer Commanding Cadet Eprce and Superintendent of Drill, 
Lieutenant-Colonel Paul being transferred to another position. Major 
Strong was retired after long and valuable service, and the services of 
Lieutenant Hilliard and two warrant officers were discontinued. 

The amount voted for cadet purposes for 1893 was £5,869, 
being a reduction of £5,949 upon the sum granted for 1892. The 
total expenditure was £5,591 3s. 2d. 

EiNANCE. 

As already indicated a policy of rigorous retrenchment was 
adopted in the administration of all branches of the Department. 
The strictest economy was practised, and the expenditure restricted 
by every possible means. The subjoined statement will show the 
retrenchment effected under the more important heads : — 

Officers.— 10 per cent, deducted from all salaries over £200 a 
year. The services of two clerks of works dispensed with. 

School Attendance Officers. — All such positions abolished and 
18 officers dispensed with from 1st July, representing a saving of £5,100 
per annum. 

Teachers. — All salaries reduced by 5 per cent, from 1st July ; 
salaries payable to Mistresses of Infants' Departments fixed at a 
lower rate. 

Contingencies. — General reduction on all items of expenditure 
for school service. 

Vote for Buildings^ Sites, Sfc. — Reduced by £50,000. 

Fort-street Training School. — Transference of Principal and 
Assistant Training Master to other positions, the Training School 
being placed under control of the Head Master of the Model School, 
thus saving over £500 a year. 

Technical Education. — General reduction on all items; total 
vote reduced by £24,433. 

Cadet Branch. — Services of several of the staff dispensed with 
from 1st July. Withdrawal of votes of £700 allowance to senior 
cadets and of £1,000 for camp expenses ; general vote reduced by 
more than 50 per cent., from £11,818 to £5,8G9.

the enrolment was £18 8s. 3d. 

The Commander and Superintendent reports : — "The institution 
worked quietly and easily during the year. The boys behaved well 
and there was no absconding or attempt to abscond. Some of the lads 
were attacked with measles, but beyond this there was little serious 
sickness, and at the close of the year we enjoyed a clean bill of health. 
No deaths occurred. The cost per head of the enrolment was 
£19 Is. 5d., as against £19 9s. 5d. for the preceding year, a substantial 
reduction of 8s. 2d. per head. The daily average attendance on board 
rose from 254 in 1892 to 272, the highest average reached, and there 
is every reason for anticipating a large increase during the forthcoming 
year. There were 420 apprentices in the country under my legal 
control, fully 90 per cent, of whom received good characters. Boys 
who finished their apprenticeship drew from the bank nearly £2,000, 
but many of them refrained from drawing their money, allowing it 
to remain in the Government Savings Bank. A gratifying increase 
took place in the number of visits paid to the ship by former inmates. 
No less than 350 such visits took place, and all the young men were 
leading industrious respectable lives.'*

A yearly supply of working stock is granted to each school free of expense to scholars or teacher?. 
In most cases materials are economically used, but in some schools, owing to want of attention to small 
details, too many slates are broken, the covers and leaves of books become detached, pencils, ink, chalk, 
and pens run short, and so, before a new supply is due, there is a scarcity of these necessaries. It is part 
of an Inspector's duty to bring under the notice of the Department mismanagement of this kind, and 
also any neglect of a teacher to do his beet to keep his school and premises in good condition. The 
Inspectors report that schools have a sufficient outfit of furniture and apparatus.^ It has for some years 
been the practice of the Department to give a fair trial to fittings claimed by inventors to be improve- 
ments, so that most modifications of English, American, and Continental desks, forms, and other 
apparatus have been under test here.

Compared with 1892, there is a decrease in the gross enrolment of 413, on the average daily 
attendance of 4,257-4, and an increase on the arerage quarterly enrolment of 120. The decrease was due 
to measles. For the three months ending 30th September, the average daily absence on account of this 
disease was about 11,000, and, for the next three months, 13,000. In the September quarter about 3,000 
were not enrolled at all, being kept away more than three months either by sickness or from fear of 
nfectonj in the December quarter, the number off the rolls increased to 10,000. 



Inspection, 

There were open during the whole or a portion of the year 2,738 departments. Of these, 23 closed 
for want of attendance before they could be visited for inspection, or were opened late in the yeaar after 
the schools in their neighbourhood had been inspected. The remaining 2,715 schools were thoroughly 
examined. During the last six months of the jear, the pupils examined were frequently only a small 
proportion of the number ordinarily present. Instead, therefore, of the usual annual increase of children 
examined, there was a decrease on the previous year of 1,383.

Report of the Minister of Fublio Imtmction.

' These results compare yery fayourably with those of preyions years. It is noticeable again that 

reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic received increased attention. The other subjects in which the 

results were better than in 1892 are English history, drawin?, music, needlework, drill, and natural 

science. Considering the drawbacks under which teachers and pupils worked, the outcome for the year 

. was, on the whole, more than usually satisfactory. 

Digeipline. 

Ail the Inspectors speak well of the discipline. There are certain school laws that pupils must 
obey, and tbis fact is so frankly recognised by them and their teachers, and so firmly established by 
usage, that the public feeling in schools is in the direction of obedience, attention, and order. He is a ' 
weak and mischieyoas teacher who destroys this spirit. 

Compulsory Clauses of the Act, 

The average enrolment for the half-year ended 80th June, 1893, was 189,533. Of this number 
83.937 failed to attend school 70 days. The explanations received in regard to 27,999 were considered 
satisfactory. Of the remainder, amounting to 3*1 per cent, of the average enrolment, the parents of 834 
were prosecuted, and cautions were recommended in 5,104 cases. 

For the half-yc^r ended 31 st December the average enrolmen^ was 183,122. Of these, 34,449 
failed to attend 70 days. The explanations respecting 30,443 were accepted, the parexits of 8,557 were 
recommended for cautions, and legal action was taken in 449 cases. The cases for prosecution and 
caution, therefore, for the December half-year amounted to 2'1 per cent, of the average enrolment for 
that period. 

The increase in the number of pupils who failed to attsnd school during the year, as required by 
the law, was due chiefly to the epidemics of measles and diphtberia. 

The services of the Attendance Officers, with one exception, were dispensed with from 30th June, 
1893, and their duties are, in the main, now being performed by the police. 



Staff of Teachers, 

The number of teachers on the records at the end of 1893 was 4,527, a decrease of 109 on the 
number for 1892. The following table shows their classification : —

From the 1st July, the fees were raised from £2 2s. a quarter to £3 3s. This, to some extent, 
decreased ihe attendance j but the fee receipts for the year show an increase. The general commercial 
depression considerably reduced the number who presented themselres at the entrance examination. In 
1892, the total was 1,095 ; but in 1893 it was 798. The scholarships awarded during the year were Q2,

With the exception of the temporary (wooden) school-house at Albion-street, the materkd con- 
dition of the school buildings in our section of the Metropolis is Tery good. 

Additionid school-rooms have been erected at Bondi and Paddington, and one is in course of 
erection at Leichhardt West. Class-rooms haye been added to the school premises at Erskineyille and 
Leichhardt, and improyements and repairs haye been effected at Coogee, Crown-street, Darlington, Forest 
Lodge, Fort-street, Leichhardt, Erskineyille, Paddington, Redfem West, and Woollahra. The necesnty 
for permanent school buildings at Albion-street still exists, and the erection of the much needed Infants' 
sohool-romn at Manly stands debarred.

The falling off in the enrolment and ayerage attenduice during the latter half of the year was due 
to the preyalence of measles, and from the same cause there were upwards of 1,000 pupils less examined 
than in 1892. 

In 1892 the nuoimnm number of Free Fufnls was 1,850, in 1898 the maximum was 2^037 : this 
may fairly be taken as resulting from the existing depressidn among the labour classes. 

AH the schools undev our superrision reoeiyed two iwAl inspections, a regular for examination and 
an ordinary for insight into the working of the school ; but owing to our increased clerical duties, through 
the retirement of i^ Attendance Officers that were under our direction^ we haye not been in a position 
to make many incidental yisits.

Meport of the Minister of Public Instruction. 



In all tho schools work is regulated by more or less skilfully drawn-up time tables and pro- 
grammes of lessons for each quarter. With regard t3 the latter, it is a manifest defect that in most 
schools little provision is made for revision in arithmetic, the work set down being often strictly that 
prescribed for the particular half-year the class may hare reached. As a consequence we often find 
pupils in the Fourth Class busy at intricate complex fractions, wasting their time, while the important 
rules studied while in the Third Class are quite forgotten. This defect has been noticed before, but 
through the examination for exemption certificates to which the upper classes have been submitted during 
the second half of tho year, it has appeared more glaringly than hitherto. 

The condition of our schools, as regards efficiency, is as follows :—

The order and discipline maintained in the majority of the schools are of a satisfactory character. 
Corporal punishment is discouraged as much as possible. 

The teachers, as a body, aro punctual and diligent in the discharge of their duties. 
The pupil-teachers have, in every case, been favourably reported upon. 

The Superintendents of Drawing, Music, Drill, and Needlework have discharged their duties in 
An able and zealous manner.

ANNEX B. 
Inspbctob Thoicpsov's Bbpobt. 
At the beginning of the year 20 Public Schools and 2 Erening Public Schools, comprising 48 depart- 
ments, were placed under mj immediate supervision. 

No new schools or departments were opened during the year in this section of the Metropolitan 
District, nor was any school or department closed. 

Accommodation, 

In this section of the district accommodation for 11,585 pupils is provided, which may be 
regarded as sufficient for the ordinary attendance.

During the quarters ending on 80th September and on Slst December, respectively, both the 
enrolment and attendance were affected by the epidemic of measles. 

Inspection, 

All schools and departments received regular inspection during the year, and 13 departments: 
received ordinary inspection. 

Of the 48 departments inspected under regular form 45 were above the standard of 50 per cenf»- 
of maximum marlis obtainable, and 3 were up to the required standard. No department, thervfore, was 
below the standard. 

In this connection I would state that, owicg to my absence from duty on account of ill-health, ^ 
ordinary inspections could not be completed. As regards regular inspections I stand indebted to my 
brother officers, who, in addition to their own onerous duties, were good enough to undertake the 
examination of my schools during my absence, and I gladly embrace this opportunity of expressing my 
appreciation of their courtesy. 

The total number of pupils examined, and their proficiency in the several subjects prescribed, is

Ihspsctob Whiib's Bepobt. 

At the begionuig of the year 1893 those schools in the Metropolitan District that were tormertj under 
the joint superrision of Inspectors, Messrs. Thompson and Pitt, were equally diyided between Mr. 
Inspector Thompson and myself. Those placed under my sup^rrision numbered in all 28 schoolB, 
tiz., 20 Public, 2 Svening Schools, and the si^ool on board the Training Ship " Sobraon."

One of these, the Ereniiig School at Smith-street, Balmain« was closed at the md of Septemb^ 
last. The others have been open throngh the year, and are still in operation. 

The schools, Tiewed coUeciiyely, are in good material condition. During the year repairs wvre 
effected to the schools at Fiye Dock, 1^ Perouse, MarrickviUe, Newtown, Newtown lf<Nrth, and Smith- 
street, Balmain ; and new class-rooms were added to the schools at MarrickTille, Tempo, and Dulwich 
Hill. The accommodation provided has been more than sufficient for the ordinary attendance of the 
pupils. In the early part of the year the total floor space of the schools, at the rate of 8 square feet per 
child, afforded places for 11,219 pupils. Now, owing to the enliyrgement of the three schools aboro 
referred to, 11,518 i)Iaces are arailable.

These results are for the most part satisfactory, and they wiU bear favourable comparison with 
statistics of a similar character recorded in previous years. 

In nearly all the schools the organisation was markedly high, and the discipline was found to be 
sound and effective. 

The teachers, assistants, and pupil-teachers have, with few exceptions, discharged their duties in a 
creditable manner. The schedule given below shows the number and the classification of those on the

The work done in the schools this year has on the whole been of a commendable

classes : —

Provisional 12 „ 

Half-time «. 10 „ 

House-to-house 2 „ 

Five schools — one Public, one Provisional, two HaTf time, and one House-to-house — were closed 
on account of insufficient attendance, and five new schools were established. The number of places 
available for pupils at the close of the year was, according to the standard of superficial measurement, 
23,784 for an enrolment of 20,239 pupils. These figures show that the accommodation provided is, in the 
aggregate, considerably in excess of the demand j it is also evenly distributed. 

All the schools of the district were duly examined, and their condition as regards efficiency may 
be understood from the following table : —

All continue to maintain respectable social positions, and are, I may say, without exception, 
earnest, devoted, and efficient in performinjij their respective dut'es. Under these circumstances it ts 
only reasonable to expect that the work of the schools for the year now entered upon will be as suitably 
regulated, as vigorously conducted, and as eflfecfively executed as it has been in past yea-s. 

All the usual statistical information has been already forwarded, and the reports of the Inspectors 
acting with me are hereto appended. WM. DWYER, 

District Inspector. 

Sydney, 9th January, 1894.

Inspector Pitt's Bepobt. 

Means of Education. 

At the end of 1892 there were in this section of the Sub-Metropolitan District 75 schools, comprising 

62 Public Schools, 4 Provisional, 6 Half-time, and 2 House-to-house Schools. 

The total number of schools of all classes in operation at the conunencement of the year was 
77. Of these, 1 House-to-house School at Haroldene, and 2 Half-time Schools at Bedbank and Island 
Flat have been closed owing to paucity of attendance. 

There are now in existence 60 Public Schools in 65 departments, 4 Half-time Schools, 4 Provisional 
Schools, and 1 House-to-house School. 

The Infants' School at St. Mary's has been closed, and the former two departments are now 
worked as one. 

The establishment of a Public School at the Pitt Tovm Co-operative Settlement has been authorised, 
and tenders have been called and received, and are now under consideration. 

With reference fo the demand for new schools, I have to report that four applications for the 
establishment of schools have been received. The following statement shows the localities from which 
these applications were received, and the Department's decision in each case : —

(a) Pitt Town Co-operative Settlement Public granted. 

(6) Wilberforce Labour Settlement Public declined.

Accommodation, 
The total number of seats povided for the pupils in this section at the end of 1892 was 5,351^ 
allowing 8 square feet to each child, but owing to the enlargement of several schools, there is now joom 
for 5^883 scholars. The accommodation provided is sufficient and suitable for present requirements.

From these numbers it will be seen that the enrolmast this year was hi^ier than for last year, but 
the ayerage attendance was lower. This is due to the preralence of influenza, whoomng coagh, and 
measles. In yiew of these unayolcbUe causes the attendanee should be C(Misldex«d iati^ietory. 

The number of children present at inspecticm was 4,276. 

Ingpeetion, 

All the sdiools that were in operation during the year were fully inspected. One received a 
second inspection owing to its inefficient state on my first visit. Every school has been incidentally 
▼isited, and fourteen schools have received ordinary in^secticm. In addition to the schools above 
mentioned, the Girls* Industrial School at Parramatta was fully inspected, with results of a highly 
satisEsctory character.

The teachers, as a body, are respectable, trustworthy, competent, and sober. A few, I regret to 
say, were censured for carelessness or misconduct. At the end of each quarter and each year there is a 
small contingent who fail to furnish complete Mid accurate returns promptly, fome even failing to 
compile them neatly. I am pleased to add that these references apply to a very limited number. The 
majority of the teachers stnye to do their work well, and discharge their several duties in a credital^e 
manner. The pupil-teachers are an intelligent promising body of young persons, and have rendered 
good steady service during the year. 

Summary. 

I. The schools are fairly well distributed ; tbe accommodation is sufficient and gocd. 

II. The discipline continues a pleasing feature in the majority of the schools. 
HI. All schools have been inspected, and visited incidentally many times. 

IT. The efi^ei^ of the sHiools has improved and satisfactory mults have been achieved. 
T» The pfospeots for the inooming year are bcHMful and eneouraging. 
All required statotics have been duly forwarded as directed. .

ANNEX p. 

Ikspectob Seillman's Report. 

At the end of 1892 there were in this section of the Sub-Metropolitan District 73 schools. 

During this year new Public Schools have been established at Austral and Miranda, and » 
Prorisional School at Burraneer Bay. 

Bulgo Public School has been closed owing to the small attendance of pupils. 

I have now under my supervision 55 Public Schools in 71 departments, 8 Provisional, and 2 Half^ 
time Schools ; total, 75 schools. 

New school buildings have been erected by the Architect at Austral, Clifton, and Sutherland, that 
at Austral being a new school. At Clifton and Sutherland substantial brick school-rooms replaced old 
wooden structures. 

Additional accommodation has also been provided under the Architect's supervision by a school- 
room for Infants at Bexley, class-rooms at Goughtown and Bookwood, and by lengthening the Infants* 
school-room at Granville. 

A building was leased at Miranda, and the use of a room given free at Burraneer Bay for the new 
schools established at those places. 

The net increase of seats in 1893 was 489, making the present total 11,150. 

Teachers* residences have been erected at Canley Vale, Clifton, Prospect, and Sutherland. 

New school buildings are shortly to be provided at Parramatta South (Girls*) and St. John's 
Park. 

Atteridance, 

In all 76 schools have been in operation during 1893 ; 72 being in existence for the whole year, 
and 4 for only a portion thereof.

The prevalence of measles and influenza cau3ed the diminution in the attendance during the latter 
half of the year. 

Inspection, 

All the schools in the District were regularly inspected, and twelve received an ordinary inspection. 

Of the 76 schools 48 were above the standard, 16 satisfied it, and 12 failed to reach it, a result 
almost similar to that obtained last year.

I hare good reason to be satisfied with the work done by the teachers under me daring 1893, and 
from the desire almost invariably evinced to implicitly carry out my suggestions^ I am confident that no

ANNEX a. 

Disteict-Inspectob Beadlet's Bbfost. 

J. — Schools and School Establishment, 

Fob tlie year 1892 there were in operation in the Armidale district in all 302 schools. Of this numher, 
7 lapsed through paucity of attendance before the end of the year, and were not re-opened daring 1893, 
but new schools or schools rcTived — 18 in all — were established in the following localities : — Bereen, 
Boolooroo, Borah, Coningdale, Cooringoora, Eyersleigh, Haning, Jeogla, Maitland Point, Mungindi, 
North Lynne, Oban, Beedy Creek, Kockmore, Sinclair, Treyaylor, Viyier, and Woodlawn. To these 
must be added Acacia Creek Fablic School, transferred from Grafton district, and the net increase (12) 
brings the school roll for 1893 up to 314, classified as follows : — 

Public 199 

Provisional 62 

Half-time = 32 

House-to-house 21 

Total 314 

The district is well provided with schools, and it is not probable that many applications for 
further establishment will arise within the coming year. An Infant School at Boss Hill, near InTerell, 
and a Provisional School at Brushy Creek will be opened in the new year ; but several Provisional and 
other small schools in which the attendance has for some time been below the required minimum, with 
little or no prospect of recovery, will in all likelihood be closed. There is thus more probability of 
diminution than of increase in the school roll for the coming year. 

II, — JBuildingSf Accommodation^ S^c, 

Ten new school buildings have been erected and furnished under the supervision of the several 
inspectors, at a cost of £953 9s. Five of these are in new localities, and 5 supersede old school-rooms. 
Through the same agency repairs to 4S school-houses and 6 teachers* residences have been effected, and 
one school house has been enlarged. The cost ci these works was £386 Is. 8d. ; so that the total 
expenditure arranged for by the inspectors reached £1,339 lOs. 8d. This amount is more than £700 
below the corresponding outlay for 1892, but the limited funds at the disposal of the Department 
necessitated the strictest economy, and many minor repairs and improvements that should hare been 
carried out have had to stand over for the advent of better times. 

Under the Architect to the Department, extensive additions and improvements, including the 
erection of a teacher's residence, have been effected at Bingera ; substantial school premises have been 
provided for Ouyra and Boss Hill ; while less expensive ones have been erected to replace old structures 
at Tilbu^er and Summer Vale. Bepairs more or less important in character have also been carried out 
in connection with many schools ; but here, as in the case of the expenditure under the Inspectors, only 
the most necessitous cases have received attention, and much still remains to be done. 

With very few exceptions the schools of the district are provided with suflScient and suitable 
f arniture, and the supply of books and minor apparatus is adequate. A more liberal grant of maps, 
diagrams, and picture cards is, however, desirable, and would serve to brighten the appearance of the 
school-rooms, and prove valuable aids in the teachers* work. 

In the aggregate, the sitting accommodation provided in the schools of the district is well ahead of 
requirements. There are, however, a few instances in which, from increased attendance, such accommoda- 
tion is inadequate — the most important being that of Armidale, where before long it will be necessary to 
erect a new wing or separate school-room. During the year an increase, roughly stated, of 500 seats has 
taken place, and, calculated at 8 square feet of floor space per child, the entire accommodation now 
reaches 18,137. At the rate of 100 cubic feet per child it is 16,599. 

III. — Inspection, Condition of Schools, ^c. 

No change has been made in the inspectoral staff doring the year. One school, Acacia Creek, near 
the Queensland bofder, has been taken over from the Grafton district, andTa small school, Mount Bussell, 
has been transferred from the Tamworth to the Glen Innes section. 

Three hundreed and fourteen schools have been in operation during 1893, and all, except two small 
ones in the Tamworth section, have received full inspection. The total number of pupils present *it 
•examination was 10,677, or 138 more than in the previous year. But for the prevalence of measles in the 
later months when inspection work is usually most active, there would doubtless have been a much 
larger attendance; and it is reasonable to suppose also that the epidemic in some degree affected 
prejadioially the results of inspection. 

The record of general effciency as elicited at the regular inspections compares favourably with 
that of previous years, and indicates steady and satisfactory progress. Of the 312 schools examined, 230 
(90 per cent.) eithei? met or exceeded the requirements of the standard, and 32 (10 per cent.) failed to 
do BO. The corresponding per-centages for 1892 were 86 and 14 respectively, and it is curious to note 
that for four consecutive years the non« efficient schools have lessened uniformly at the rate of 4 per cent.

Two teachers have been disrated and remored to smaller schools because of negligence and 
inefficiency, and about half a dozen others hare been censured for minor offices. With these exceptions, 
the record has been a creditable one for the year ; and all of the Inspectors speak in terms of commend- 
ation of the general body, both in respect of its personal and professional character, and as regards 
efficient and faithful discharge of duty.

lysFBCTOB Blumeb's Befobt. 

At the close of 1892 there were 71 schools in operation in the Tamworth section of the Armidale District 
Since then Mount Eussell Public has been transferred to the Glen Innes section, and 6 schools closed 
(Orundumbi Public; Emu Creek, Haystack, Saddler's Hat Ptovisional; New Guoyerwarildi and 
Bockwall House-to-house.) During the year the foUowing 10 new schools were opened : — Bereen, 
Boolooroo, Haning, Mungundi, Beedy Greek Prorisionals ; Cooringoora and Woodlawn Half-time; 
Borah, Ilii^lroy, and Bockmore House-to-house. Yarrowitch ProTisional was oonyerted into Public, 
and Upper Bingara Proyisional and Oakey (Jreek House-to-house were made Half-time. 

At present, therefore, the schools under my superrision number 74, yiz., 47 Public, 16 Proyisional,

Report of the Minister of Fublio Instruction^ 



As already stated, three of these are now in operation. Mundowey ProTisional -will open imine- 
diately after the vacation, and Upper Moor Creek later in the yeir. Tulioona is not likely to come ii-to 
existence. 

The district is well provided with schools, and it is not expected that many applications will be 
received during the ensuing twelve months. 

During the past year, 4 small schoolrooms were erected, 1 huilding enlarged, 13 schoolrooms and 
2 residences repaired hy the Inspector at a total cost of £369 lis. 4d. A new residence was erected at 
Bingara, a new schoolroom at Summer Vale, and extensive additions to the school buildings at Bingara 
and Moree, completed by the Architect at a cost of £2,763 18s. 6d. Minor repairs, involving an outlay 
of £125 6s., were also effected by the Architect. 

By erection of new buildings, additions to existing ones, and i*eopening old ones closed in former 
years, extra accommodation was provided for 680 pupils, allowing each 8 square feet, and for 634, 
allowing each 100 cubic feet. Computed on the same bases, 305 or 221 places were lost by closing, &e., 
of schools. There has, therefore, been a net increase in accommodation of 375 or 413 places. At the 
present time, space is provided for 4,829 children, allowing each 8 square feet, and for 4,551, allowing 
each 100 cubic feet. Tliis is more than ample for the total number of pupils enrolled. 

Eighty schools were open during the whole or some portion of the year — 78 were fully inspected, 
and 9 received a second or Ordinary Inspection. Orundumbi Public and Mungundi Provisional were 
not inspected. The former was closed early in the year before a visit could be paid. The latter is nearly 
250 miles from Tam worth and did not open until late in October ; consequently it was not deemed advisable 
to make a special and costly journey to examine about a dozen children who had been under instruction 
onlv a few weeks. Reedy Creek Piovisional, recently es'.ablished near InveroU, was, by direction of the 
Chief Inspejtor, examined by Mr. Inspector BeaTis. 

Incidental visits were made as opportunities offered. 

Generally the schoolrooms are conveniently situated, afford adequate accommodation, and are 
suitably furnished. Nearly all are in fair condition, but, in numerous instances, expenditure for repairs 
cannot be long delayed. 

School gardens, hedges, and tree-planting receive increased attention. In connection with these 
matters, the teachers at Walcha and Nemingha deserve special mention. 

Were the supply of maps and diagrams not so limited, little fault could be found with the stock 
of educational appliances. As a rule, the records are correctly and neatly kept, and care and skill are 
exercieed in the construction of the prescribed lesson guides. 

The formation of an athletic association in connection with schools in the vicinity of Tamworth 
can ecarcely fail to augment the sympathy between the respective teachers and pupils. 

As in former years, the disciplinary condition of the schools is very pleasing. It id difficult, 
however, to always secure punctuality of attendance in rural localities, as the children are often detained 
to assist with dairy work. 

Cadet corps still exist at Tamworth Superior and West Tamworth, but with diminished numbers. 
The decrease in strength is no doubt due to the suspension of rifle shooting for about nine months. A 
recent issue of Braendlin carbines and ammunition has done much to revive the boys* interest in the 
corps. 

As regards general efficiency, 90 per cent, of the schools inspected satisfied the standard. This is 
an increase of 4 per cent, on last year's results. Manilla Public, Tamworth Superior Infants', Walcha 
Public, and Rywung Public occupy, in the order given, the most prominent places in point of merit. 

The proficiency in the various subjects of instruction, as compared with the results for 1892, is

Report of the HTmister of Fuhlic Instruction. 



145 



A slight falling off is noticed in connection with some of the subjects of secondary importance^ but 
the results in the more important subjects are quite as satisfactory as in former years. 

Every school has its fiiU staff of teachers. One teacher was disrated and remoyed to a smaller 
school on account of inattention to duty ; but, with this single exception, no serious cause of complaint 
arose. As a body, the teachers are earnest, efficient, and deservedly respected by parents and pupils. 

Nummary* 

The schools are well distributed throughout the district and fully meet present educational 
requirements. 

Teachers continue to discharge their duties faithfully and efficiently and to merit public confidence 
and respect. 

L. BLUMER, 
Tamworth, 27th December, 1898. * Inspector. 

ANNEX I. 

Inspectob Beavis' Befobt. 

Eight Y-EIGHT (88) schools remained effective at the end of 1892 ; these, with Trevaylor (Bif; Ben) 
Provisional — a new school — the Oban Provisional School re-opened, and the Acacia Creek Public 
School transferred from the Lismore Section, were in operation under my supervision during the March 
quarter of the current year. Subseqaently two new Provisional Schools — ^Vivier and Sinclair — ^were 
established ; Torrington, which had been closed for 6 months, was revived as a Provisional Sctiool ; and 
the Mt. Bussell Public School was transferred from the Tamworth Section. 

Five Schools, including Torrington, have undergone change of status during the year : Wellingrove 
Provisional has been converted to Public, and New Valley Provisional and Tenterden Public have, on 
account of reduced attendances, been combined as Half-time Schools. Tenterfield has been ranked as a 
Superior Public School. 

The 95 schools which have been in operation for the whole or a portion of the year embrace — 

66 Public 

23 Provisional 

4 Half-time 

2 House to House 

Only one school, Swan Peak Provisional, has been permanently closed, although the prospects of 
a few others make their continuance doubtful. However, any reduction in the number of schools 
consequent upon diminished attendance, is likely to be more than compensated by the opening of new 
schools. The Boss Hill (Inverell) Infant School io to be opened'in January, likewise a small Provisional 
School at Brushy Creek, near Q-uyra. 

Notwithstanding the necessarily restricted expenditure which has marked the year, two new 
schoolrooms have been erected to replace old ones, and several other baildincrs have been rendered more 
suitable or more comfortable by the effecting of minor improvements. The accommodation in the 
schools is ample ; while 6000 places are available, the gross enrolment of pupils is only 4000 and the 
average attendance 3000. 

Every school has been fully inspected, and 5 ordinary inspections were made. Of 95 schools in 
operation, 73 were, in general efficiency above the standard, 11 up to standard, and 11 below it. The 
schools which were satisfactory represent 8S per cent, of the whole — 5 per cent, increase on last year's 
record. 

3,810 pupils (113 more than in 1892) were examined ; the subjoined table shows the estimated 
proficiency of the pupils in comparison with the results for last year : —

146 S^port of the Minister of FvJiUo Instruction. 

\- Sixty -BOTen fifUi-cIass pupils were examined as coznpAred with 40 examined last year ; this fact 
will account for the lower percentages of passes in most oi the higher subjects. 

Cookery classes were established in August at the Glen Innet Public School, under the superin- 
ijendence of Miss Lance, and were continued to December. Sixty girls from th^ town school and from 
small neighbouring schools were regularly under instruction, and displayed a keen interest in the lessons. 
The classes for adults were not numerously attended, but the instruction was evidently prized. 

Good organisation and discipline continue to be characteristic features of the schools ; while there 
is much dirersity of merit in these particulars, a disorderly school is a rarity. 

The teachers as a body are studious, persevering, and deservedly respected ; by securing public 
confidence and rendering their schools attractive, they are the most e£fective agents in minimising cases of 
default under the compulsory clauses of the Public Instruction Act. 

The police, since their services were enlisted to secure school attendance, have been Tery active, 
and seem to be in sympathy with the work required of them ; their intervention is likely to be beneficiaL 
Still it i8 every day patent that careless or selfish parents evade with impunity the duty of educating 
their children as the State demands, and no vigilance of teachers or police will avail till the compulsoiy 
clauses of the Act have been amended in spme essential points. 

Summary, 

The number of schools in the section increases with requirements ; the accommodation is ample ; 
the material condition and general efficiency are satisfactorily maintained. 

. The teachers perform their duties with a success that commands public fa,Toxa, and their personal 
character inspires confidence.

Glen Innes, 30th December, 1893. Inspector. 

ANNEX J. 

InSPECTOB PABEDTSOlf'S BbFOBT. 

There were 80 schools in operation in this section of the Armidale District at the close of 1892. The 
Half-time Schools at Gunnenbene and Keepit did not reopen after the Christmas vacation, but in January 
a House-to-house School was established at North Lynne, near Pilliga. This was the only new school 
established during the year, so that the total number of schools at work in 1893 was 79, Of these the 
House-to-house School at Apple Tree Clump was closed in June. Applications for schooli at the Barry, 
Oamborah Springs, Eulah Creek, and Kercargo were declined. The Half-time Schools at North and 
South Bective, as well as those at Blackville and St. Helena, have become Full-time Schools, while the 
Public School at Harparary is now one teaching station of a House-to-house School. Thus of the 78 
schools in operation at the end of the year, 48 are Public, 13 are Provisional, 6 are Half-time, and 11 are 
House-to-house. 

At the close of 1892 the buildings in this section provided floor space for 4,746 pupils, and air 
space for 4,148 pupils. By closing the Half-time Schools at Gunnenbene and Keepit, and by giving up 
an old building at Collarendabri, floor space for 177 pupils, or air space for 138 pupils was lost ; while 
the opening of a new building at Collarendabri, and the leasing of a room at North Lynne, provided 
floor space for 99 pupils, or air space for 79 pupils. The buildings now provide floor space for 4,668 
pupils, or air space for 4,094 pupils. As the highest enrolment for any period of the year has been 3,579, 
it is apparent that ample accommodation is available. On the whole the school-rooms and teachers' 
residences are in fair repair, but many of them need painting, and at one or two centres new buildings 
are urgently required. Little money has been spent on improvements daring the last twelve montns, 
and if the present restrictions on outlay be continued much longer, heavy expenditure will be necessary 
eventually to keep the structures in habitable condition. 

-AH the schools in operation during the year received a regular inspection. Of the 79 examined 
7 were below standard, 4 were up to standard, and 68 were above standard. Thus 91 per cent, of the 
-schools were either up to or above standard requirements. This is an improvement of 2 percent, on 
the year 1892. As already stated, 7 schools failed to obtain 50 per cent, of marks, 33 others obtained 
between 50 and 60 per cent., 30 obtained between 60 and 70 per cent., and 9 obtained upwards of 70 per 
cent. The most efficient schools were Nundle and Ghinnedah Superior, each of which reached nearly 80 
per .cent. The schools ranking next to these in efficiency were Narrabri Superior Boys*, Quinndi 
Superior, Narrabri West, Bando, Boggabri, Currabubula, and Werris Creek. It is pleasing to note 
that this list includes nearly all the large schools under my supervision, so that the majority of the 
children in this section are under the wholesome influence of the best teaching and the most capable 
management. 

The number of pupils examined ranged from 2,500 in reading to 21 in latin, And the peroentages 
df passes in the different subjects varied from 100 in natural science to 66 in latin. The subject last 
named is the only one in which the percentage of pastes showed a marked decrease. Grammar, euclid, 
and algebra secured slightly lower averages than last year. But in the majority of the subjects (including 
reading, writing, dictation and arithmetic) the percentages of passes were higher in 1893 than in 1892, 
and as the main object of Public Schools is to give a sound primary education, these results must show

tlmt the Bchoolfl are oondueted on proper lines, and are doing satitfactorj work. 169 fewer pupils were 
examined this year than last. This decrease is entirely owing to an e^^demic of measles, which literally 
emptied the schools during tha last quarter of the year, 

liittle fault has been found with the conduct of any of the teachers during the year. No teacher 
has been reported for misconduct b^ the residents of any locality, and it has been necessary to censure 
only four for negligence and inefficiency. A number of teachers continue to show a laudable ambitioi} 
to raise their classifications and improye their positions in the service : many sought promotion at the 
examination held in June. All the pupil-teachers continue to render useful and ready service, and only 
one failed at the examination held in December, 1892. The conduct of all is reported as highly 
satisfactoiy. 

In conclusion, I have to repeat that during the year 1893 the schools have increased in efficiency, 
that the conduct of the teachers has been exemplary, and that the work of education is bein^ carried on 
with success. H. PARKINSON, .

ANNEX K. 

DiSTBiCT Insfbctob MoCbbdie's Bepobt. 

The year opened with 256 schools and departments on my general list, and closed with 248, the reduction 
having been caused by the closing of several small schools in the Lithgow and Forbes sections of the 
district, and the conversion of 8 Half-time and 1 Public Schools into House-to-house Schools. 

Many applications for the establishment of new schools were received, and with the exception of 1, 
for a Provisional school at Huntley in the Central section, all were confined to the Eastern and Western 
diyisions of the district, principally to the latter. In each instance, however, the application had to be 
declined, sometimes on account of the nearness of existing schools, but more frequently because there was 
not a sufficient number of children between 6 and 14 years of age in the neighbourhood of the site chosen, 
to maintain the minimum average attendance for a Provisional or a Half-time School. 

Three small school buildings, 2 of them to replace old structures, were erected imder the supervision 
of the Inspectors, at a total cost of ^122 ; and the samQ officers also attended to the repairing of 65 
school-rooms and 12 teachers* residences, at an outlay of about £423. Substantial and commodious 
•class-rooms were added to the Superior Public Schools at Eskbank and Katoomba. Except that many of 
of the buildings are in need of painting, their material condition is fairly satisfactory. 

There wbre 254 schools and departments in operation during the year or a portion of it, and all 
were regula^y inspected, except Genanaguy Provisional, which lapsed through small attendance before 
the Inspector was able to visit the locality. Three schools received a second regular, and 41 others an 
ordinary inspection. There were therefore in all 297 inspections, regular and ordinary, in the year. 

Ninety-six per cent., or 243 of the schools regularly inspected, satisfied or exceeded the standard for 
general efficiency. This is an increase of 1 per cent, upon the results of the previous year. 

The number of children examined at the regular inspections was 9,659, being 114 less than in 
1892. The decrease was due chiefly to epidemics of measles, diphtheria, and influenza for several months, 
necessitating in some instances the closing of schools for a short time. 

The statistics of the proficiency of the pupils examined show an advance in the percentages of 
passes in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, scripture, object lessons, drawing, 
singing, mensuration, and drill, and a slight falling off in other subjects. 

In September last, several of the larger schools sent up candidates for the Junior University 
Examination, the most successful being Bathurst Superior Public, from which there were 11 candidates, 
10 of whom succeeded in securing creditable passes in 4 or more subjects, the unsuccessful candidate 
f aiUng in one subject only. 

Since the begining of the year, there has been a gradual decline in the number of cadets in the 
district. The total enrolment for each school quarler %as as follows: — March, 318; June,. 312; 
September, 271 ; December, 268. All teachers of schools having Cadet Corps are doing their best to 
keep up a good enrolment, the main difficulty experienced being that of inducing parents to incur the 
expense of purchasing the necessary uniform. In December last, the Orange Superior Public School 
Cadets once more succeeded in winning the Challenge Shield at the Annual Competition in Sydney, the 
la^ victory being the fourth in succession for that school. 

The organisation in all important points is of a satisfactory character, no serious defect under this ' 
head having been observed in any school. The disciplinary condition of the schools is also* satisfactory, 
and the government generally speaking is geiiial, firm, and effective. 

At the close of the year there were 327 teachers of all ranks employed in the State Schools of the 
district. Of .this number, 71 are pupil«teachers, 28 assistant-teachers, 9 mistresses of departments, 3 
work mistresses, and the remaining 216 principal teachers in charge of Full-time or Half-time schools, . 
"With one or two exceptions, all have done good honest work, and have given no occasion for fault- 
finding in regard either to the discharge of their official duties, or to their conduct in private life. 

When the year's work commenced, there was accommodation provided in all schools for 15,740 
pupib, allowing each 8 square feet of floor space, and for 15,640 pupils, allowing each 100 cubic feet of 
air space. Changes during the year, caused by the closing of schools, the erection of new buildings, and

the additions of large class-rooms to the Superior Fublio Schools at Eskbank and Eatoomba^ slightly 
affected these numl^rs, which now stand as under : — 

8 square feet of floor space , 16,072 seats. 

100 cubic feet of air space 15,952 do. 

The actual enrolment of pupils in all schools for the year was 14,381 and the average attendance 
9,077*2. The highest quarterly enrolment and average attendance was in March quarter, when the 
numbers were 13.378 and 9337*1 respectively. No school in the district is overcrowded, and in many 
there is ample room for more pupils. 

The educational requirements of the district are well met by existing schools, and a continuance 
of the good work done by teachers and pupils during the past year may be confidently expected in the 
year now entered upon.

Public 64 

Provisional 10 

Half-time 24

This number has been reduced by the closing of Good Forest Half-time and the conversion of 
Limekilns Public and DuUaberry and Wheatfield Half-time into one school — House-to-House — so that 
the year closes with 100 schools of all grades under my supervision. It is likely to be increased, how- 
ever, by the oper ing of two or three new schools. Other unimportant changes took place, but chiefly in 
name. Applications for schools were declined at New Vale (Evening), Daisvbank (Provisional), Boggy 
Flat (House-to-house), Woodlands (Provisional), and Leura (Provisional), iwo applications for BWaM 
schools are under consideration. Yulcan Half-time was closed, but to compensate this Charley's Hill

buildings. 

New school buildings were erected under my own supervision at Brownlea and PortiSr's Betreat, 
costing £107 3s., while new class rooms (2) have been added to the Superior Public School, Esk Bank, 
and ^toomba (2) under the supervision of the Architect. 

No additions were made. 

A large number of schools and residences, &c., have been repaired in various ways under my own 
directions at a cost of £164 5s. lid. 

The schools and appurtenances are in an average condition of very fair. 

Organisation, 

The organisation generally is satisfactory. The school accommodation is more than adequate : the 
buildings are well-lighted and well-ventilated, and, on the whole of pleasing aspect. The supply of 
materials is sufficient, and in very fair condition. The lesson guides and records are generally compiled 
with care, and not a few with excellent taste. There are some time-tables that almost rank as works of 
Art, while others are slovenly in the extreme. 

Discipline, 

The discipline continues healthy. The pupils as a body are regular and punctual^ fairly neat and 
clean, and well behaved. 

Corporal punishment is not often reported to in most schools, and then not excessively. 

Drill is not well taught in the majority of schools : in summer it is too hot, and in winter too cold. 
Such is the excuse often made to me. I can understand the former to some extent, but the latter not at 
all, except when it snows or rains. 

• Inspection, 

All schools under my supervision for the year received a regular inspection — two (2) received a second 
regular inspection, and fourteen (14) went through an ordinary inspection, — while a large number of 
incidental visits were paid as opportunity offered. The results of inspection have been on the whole very 
satisfactory, and quite up to last jear's work. 

Instruction, 
The work of instruction has been carried on eamestlv and skilfully during the year, many of the 
schools showing highly creditable results, and the majority being many degrees above the standard. All 
the prescribed subjects, except music in a very few small schools, have been taught with varying ski^

mnd raccess. During tlie year about forty (40) school libraries hare been e»tabli»bed in the jaincipal 
schools, representing some 4,000 yolames of useful, interesting, and instructive reading for the joung 
people at home. The moyement is very popular with all, parents, teachers, and pupils^ and I hope the 
l^t-named will be the better for it^ both morally and intellectually. 

The teachers in this section of the District are a steady and worthy body of fjeople, and with but 
few exceptions command the respect and in many cases the esteem of the community where they are 
located. A few have been yery studious and perserering, and haye as a consequence been justly 
rewarded by promotion. The papil-teachers have worked well in their respective schools during the 
year, but I doubt if their own work has been quite so satisfactory. All due for promotion were examined 
as usual in the first week of the vacation. 

Summary, 
To sum up, — 

(a) The means of education are more than suflScient and are well distributed. 

(b) The organisation and discipline are satisfactory as a wbol". 

(c) The instruction covers the prescribed course and is carried on with earnestness and

In view of these facts I consider the outlook of 1894 very hopeful.

These numbers include two new schools — Wangan Vale Provisional and Byong House*to-hou8e —

During the year Q-enanaguy Provisional, Cave Creek Half-time, and Blow Clear House-to-house 
were closed through diminished attendance, and my numbers were further curtailed by the conversion of 
6 Half-time schools into 3 House-to-hous« schools. Three Provisional schools, 2 Public, and 1 House-to 
house were formed into three pairs of Half-time schools. 

On the other hand, I gained one school by the change of Derriwang House-to-house into two 
Half-time schools, and another by the transference of German's Hill Half-time from the Bathurst 
section to that under my supervision. 

The result of these interchanges is that I close the year with 80 schools in operation, viz.: —

JJ. — The Actual Condition of the Schools as elicited hy Inspection, 

Allowing for interchanffes between Half-time and House-to-house Schools, there were 83 schools 
in operation during some part of 1893. All of these received a full inspection, with the exception of 
Genanaguj Provisional, which was closed before I could get to it. 14 schools received an ordinary 
inspection, and incidental visits were made where circumstances permitted. 

Of the 82 schools that received a full inspection, 74 were above, 2 up to, and 6 below standard. 
The percentage of schools satisfying the standard was 92, a result exactly similar to that of last year, 
when out of 85 schools 78 satisfied requirements. 

(a.) Organisation, 

So far as the teachers themselves are responsible, the organisation of the schools is on the wbole 
satisfactoiy. With few exceptions, returns are furnished with promptness and accuracy. The instruction 
is regulated by suitable programmes and lime-tables ; and the general arrangement ot the rooms is neat 
and tasteful. 

The general condition of the buildings and premises, while favourable in most cases, will in 
several instances call for considerable outlay during the coming year. Eepairs and improvements have, 
during the past two years, been limited to cases of urgent necessity, but general wear and tear is 
rendering • several buildings unsightly and uncomfortable, and their repair cannot much longer be 
postponed. 

(ft.) Discipline, 

The regularity of pupils has been very much broken by visitations of measles and diphtheria. 
These epidemics have been especially prevalent in the immediate valley of the Lacblan; Forbes, 
Qoolagong, Eugowra, Lake Cudgellico, and Euabalong, suffering more or less severely. 

The pupils are, as a rule, neat and respectable in appearance and respectful in demeanour. 
Cheerful and willing obedience is rendered, and commendable attention is given under instruction. It 
would be well if the same high standard of discipline were maintained in every home. Unfortunately, 
this is not the case, and hence the teacher's efforts are often neutralised, while the charge of contributing 
to the spread of the prevalent larnkinism is unfairly laid upon our school system. 

(c.) Instruction. 

2,493 pupils were examined at the regular inspections, as against 2,463 in 1892. 
Taking the more important subjects of the school course— 

2,127, or 86 per cent., passed in Beading, 
2,184, or 89 per cent., „ Writing, 

1,819, or 78 per cent., „ Arithmetic, 

712, or 81 per cent., ,♦ Grammar, 

688, or 76 per cent., „ Geography, 

600, or 69 per cent., „ History. 

On the whole, the results are so close to those of 1892 that a tabulated comparison is unnecessary. 
The balance, a very small one, is in favour of the current year. 

Since 1st July, 1893, certificates of being educated up to the requirements of the Act have been 
issued to those passing the necessary test. 108 such certificates were issued. 

((/.) Teaching Staff, 

The preponderance of qualified over unqualified Teachers continues to increase, and many of the 
latter, even, are ex-Pupil Teachers. Of 74 adult Teachers under my charge, only 20 are without 
certificates, and of these 20, 8 are ex-Pupil Teachers. 

The usual examinations were held in June and December. With one exception, all the Pupil 
Teachers in the district obtained promotion during the year. 

The Teachers imder my supervision have worked zealously and with gratifying success during the 
year, and in most cases they possess the esteem and confidence of parents. 

III. — Accommodation, 

Taking the basis of eight square feet to each pupil, accommodation is provided for 4,853 F]^<l^ 
Upon the slightly more liberal haws of 100 cubic feet per child, there is room for 4,599 pupils. Tndse 
figures show a gain respectively of 31 and 22 upon the figures of 1892. 

The highest quarterly enrolment was 3,465, so that a wide margin exists between the accommo- 
dation provided and that actually required.

Thbbb "were 66 schools in this section of the Bowral District at the end of 1892, and of those 2 were 
permanently closed on account of the attendance having fallen below the required number, and 
those at Lnddeoham, Werombi, and Silverdale, were transferred to the Farramatta Section of the Sub- 
Metropolitan District. Eleren Schools previously under the superrision of the Inspector stationed at 
Crookwell were added to my list, and an Infants* Department was opened in connection with the Public 
School at Bowral. I bare, therefore, at present, 74 schools under my superrision, viz., 51 Public j 13 
Provisional j 8 Half-time ; and 2 House-to-house Schools. 

. New school buildings were, erected at Spaniard's Hill and Balmoral, the old ones having become 
dilapidated and otherwise unsuitable. The school-room at Exeter was enlarged to meet the growing 
requirements of that place,, and a class-room was added to the school-room at Camden, and the buildings 
were put in thorough repair. A Q-irls* school-room is in course of erection at Bowral, and a Teacher's 
residence at Bringelly. Eleven other buildings were repaired and improved. 

The school-rooms of this section now provide seats for 4,476 pupils, and as the highest quarterly 
Enrolment for the year was only 4,049, the accommodation is folly np to present requirements. 

All the schools on my list except the small one at the Aborigines Camp in Burragorang, were 
inspected during the year. This school was closed at the time of my visit to Burragorang on account of 
the illness of the teacher, and it is not of sufficient importance to warrant the expense which a special 
visit to the locality would entail. 

The attainmente of the pupils in reading, dictation, English histoiy, object lesson, and Euclid, 
showed considerable improvement on those of last year, but the results in arithmetic were not so 
satisfactory. 

Of the 75 schools inspected, 70 exceeded the standard, 4 reached it, and 1 failed to reach it. This 
last is now under different management and gives promise of more satisiactery results at next inspection; 

The enrolment and average attendance were much lower during September and December quarters 
than in the earlier part of . the. year. This falUng-off was caused hj the prevalence of measles among 
children generally, some schools having been entirely deserted for a time through this cause. 

There are 3 teachers of the first .cl8ss» 16 of. the second, 41 of the third, and 18 unclassified 
employed in the schools of this jsection* The unclassified teachers are mostly ex-pupil-teachers who have 
not yet had charge of schools a sufficient time te warrant their examination for classification. 

There are also 23 pupil-teachers,. 6 of whom are in Class I, 4 in Class II, 10 in Class III, and 3 in 
Class IV. 

The educational requirements of this part of the Colony are fully met by existing schools, and the 
buildings are in good condition. 

The general efficiency of the schools is satisfactory and I have every reason to hope that equally 
good work will -be done during the year now entered upon.

buildings by the residents — a condition they have not yet fulfilled. The district is fully supplied with, 
schools, nearly all of which are in good repair. The »um of £153 3s. lid. has been expended under the ' 
Inspector's supervision, in general repairs and improvements to 19 schools. Minor works in connection 
with 6 other schools are in progress, and involve a further outlay of £2 7ls. 6d. Under the Architect's 
direction important additions have been made to the buildings at Kiama, Nowra, and UUadullay and new 
premises have been erected at Albion Park, Bomaderry, and Greenwell Point. 

Individually the schools provide ample accommodation for the pupils attending. Floor space is 
now available for 7,179, and air space for 6,329 children. These numbers are far in excess of the highest 
total enrolment during any portion of the year. 

Of the 87 schools in existence during some portion of 1893 all received a Regular and 11 an 
Ordinary Inspection. Eighty-one schools reached or exceeded the prescribed Standard (tolerable), but 
this result though satisfactory from one point of view is perhaps misleading. It is not the case that 
all schools obtaining tolerable for general efficiency are in a satisfactory condition. Teachers are 
expected to achieve a degree of success proportionate to the qualifications implied in the classifications 
they hold, and in this respect some teachers in the Nowra section have acquitted themselves poorly. 
In all, about 60 schools have passed a creditable examination, and of these the following deserve special 
mention for their high state of efficiency : — 

Nowra Primary Mr. E. Wilson. Kobertson Mr. H. Dennis, removed. 

Kiama Primary Mr. D. Bichardson. Shellharboiur Mr. Myers, removed. 

Kiama Infants Miss. Wignell. Fall's Creek Mr. W. Gibbons. 

As the regulations regarding the issue of exemption certificates only came into force in July, no 
schools inspected during the first half-year were represented at these examinations. Of 201 pupils 
examined 86 passed the necessary test, nearly all the failures being due to bad Arithmetic. The Beading, 
Writing, and Spelling were generally good. 

Speaking generally the work of primary education in thi§ portion of the Colony is being attended 
with satisfactory results and the prospects for the coining year are favourable.

I LEFT Dubbo on the 8rd and arrived in Crookwell on the 5th of February. A list of those schools 
which had been placed under my supervision was forwarded to me in January last from headquarters and 
contained — 

Public Schools 31 

Provisional Schools 11 

Half-time Schools 14 

House Schools 6 or 12 stations. 

Total 61 

Fassifem Provisional School on that list has not been in operation this year, and Taylor's Flat 
Provisional was not opened until August, and then only as a House School in conjunction with Phil's 
Creek. Two other Provisional Schools, however, were opened. Big Meadow and Red Hill, at the com- 
mencement of the year, which made the total number of schools precisely the same. 

The following changes in this section of the Bowral District with regard to certain schools have 
been carried out :— Kentgrove Public was made a Half-time with Curran's Creek Half-time School, and 
Five-mile Tree Half-time a House School with Burwood Ststion. FuUerton Provisional School was 
raised to the grade of a Public School. G-urrundah and WindusUa Public Schools were permanently 
closed. The Half-time School at Merrill Creek and the Half-time at Yorkborough were removed to more 
central and suitable localities, namelf, Benbengenoe and Bichlands. Two applications for Provisional 
Schools were declined on the grounds that the residents could not comply with the requirements of the Act. 
My list of schools, therefore, at the end of 1893 comprises — 

Public Schools 29 

Provisional Schools 10 

Half-time Schools 14 

House Schools 7 or 15 stations.

The material condition of the schools may he regarded as Tery fair, and the accommodation 
suflScient for the ayeraee numher of children in attendance. The huildings in use at the end of 1892 
contained accommodation for 3,160 pupils, reckoning 8 square feet for each child. During the year 60 
places were lost by the closing of 2 Public Schools, Gurrundah and Winduella, and 60 places were 
gained by the opening of 3 new schools and the erection of 1 more commodious school building, so that 
..the total number at the end of 1893 corresponds exactly with that at the end of 1892. The largest 
enrolment for any quarter of the year was 1,714, and the highest average daily attendance 1,178-8. It 
will thus appear that the acconmiodation provided is, in the aggregate, in excess of actual requirements. 
The new Provisional School erected was at Brawer's Flat, and the new House School opened at Phil's 
Creek on Iho Fish River. A new residence has been built for the teacher at Kentgrpve. Some small 
sums of money were spent on repairs at Frogjmoor, Kialla, and Third Creek. 

All the 62 schools in operation during the whole or portion of 1893, received one regular 
inspection, and one Public School, Gullen Flat, received two regular inspections. Two teaching stations 
in remote localities where the children could not assemble at places of inspection were also examined, so 
that the total number of inspections made during the year was 65.

The Crookwell section of the Bowral District is a new one formed this year out of portions 
abstracted from larger neighbouring districts, and no comparisons can be made between the present 
attainments of pupils and those of former years ; but inasmuch as the great majority of the schools are 
small the results on the whole are fair with every prospect of improvement in the future. No complaints 
of any kind hare been made against teachers or pupil teachers and all have worked with fair success in 
their several positions. 

JOHN LESLIE SMITH, 
Crookwell, 11th December, 1893. Inspector. 

ANNEX Q. 

I)iSTBiCT Insfectob Coopke's Ebpobt. 

In January last, Mr. Inspector Willis was transferred from Braidwood to the Sydney District, and Mr. 
Inspector Nolan was appointed to succeed him at Braidwood. Messrs. P. Durie and P. F. Sheehy 
retained charge of the Bega and Yass sections respectively. By the readjustment of schools, consequent 
on the appointment of an Inspector to Crookwell (Bowral District), 4 were removed thereto from the 
0oulbum section, and 10 from the Yass section of this district. One school, formerly under my 
immediate supervision, was placed under Mr. Sheehy. Seven schools were removed from the Yass 
section to the Wagga Wagga District, from which an equal number was transferred to the Yass section. 
At the beginning of the year, there were 370 schools in the district, distributed at foUows :— 88 in the 
Goulbum section, 102 in the Braidwood section, 100 in the Bega section, and 80 in the Yass section. 
By the establishment of new schools, and the re-opening of schools formerly closed, the total was increased 
to 384, of which 90 were in the Q-oulbam« 105 in the Braidwood, 106 in the Bega, and 83 in the Yass

Of the new schools opened, 12 entailed on the Department an expenditure of £406 158., and affoird 
the required cubic space for 250 pupils. One was erected in the 0oulbum section, six in the Braidwood 
section, two in the Bega section, and three in the Tass section. One school in the Braidwood section 
was enlarged, at a cost of £39 10s. 6d. Improrementt, including repairs, fencing and the proyision of 
water tanks, were effected at a total cost of £279 9s. 9d., as under : — £ s. d.

The accommodation provided for the pupils enrolled in existing schools is in nearly every case sufficient, 
and in many excessive. The material condition of aU the schools under my personal supervision, with 
the exception of a few Half-time Schools and the 6K>ulbnrn Superior Boys' School is fairly satisfactory. 

Many of the teachers continue to manifest a laudable interest in the beautifying of the school 
grounds, and show a just appreciation of the benefits derivable from the cultivation of plants and 
flowers. Some» however, seem to regard this point of organisation as one which they may ignore without 
exposing themselves to blame, even when the conditions of success are very favourable. It is hoped 
that, ere long, it will be a rare thing to find a school, especially a town school, devoid of trees and well- 
kept flower-beds.

Por the first three quarters i3os ftg^Lneity of attendance wat abont the fame a« it was hist year, 
but the yei^ seyere epidemics of measles and inflnenza which prevailed during the last quarter caused a 
falling off m both the enrdment and ayerage attendance towards the close of the year. 

Of the 884 schools which were opened daring the whole or some part of the year, 379 underwent 
a regular inspection, and one in the Goulbum section was fully inspected twice. The fiye schools not 
inspected (three in the Bega and two in the Tass section) were either closed before the inspectors' yisits 
to the localities, or were brought into operation after the inspectors had visited. In addition to these 
regular inspections, 77 ordinary inspections were held. The inspections held in the several sections of 
the district may be summarised thus :—

It thus appears that 297, or 78 per cent., of all the schools inspected were found to be above the 
standard, whereas last year the percentage was 62. This may be regarded as evidence of satisfactory 
advancement in general efficiency. Combining the numbers of those above and just equal to standard 
requirements, the percentage for three sections shows improvement, but that for the Braidwood sectioi^ 
appears as 4 per cent, lower than that for 1893.

The proficiency of the pupils in every subject of the school course, excepting dictation, is higher 
Ihan it was for the previous year, the improvement in the more important subjects, reading, writing, and 
arithmetic, being considerable. In resnect to writing, those teachers who have devoted careful attention, 
not only to the imitation of head-lines in copy books, but also to writing in dictation and exercise books, 
and have reduced the working on slates to a minimum in the higher classes* have obtained excellent 
results. At the yearly inspections, in addition to examining the copy-books, I tested the ability of the 
Eourth and Fifth classes to write neatly and legibly by requiring the pupils to transcribe 80 or 40 lines 
on unruled paper. The results were very gratifying, and gave evidence of skill and inteUigenoe in 
teaching this important subject. The specimens of handwriting done in the Superior Public Schools at 
Queanbeyan, South Goulbum (girls'), Ooulbum (girls'), Ooulbum (boys'), and South Ctoulbum (boys'), 
deserve special commendation.

In accordance with tlie Minister's instruction, issued in June last, certificates of exemption from 
compulsory attendance were given to 186 pupils attending the 28 schools inspected by me between July 
and December. As that instruction necessitated the handing of these certificates to all children who 
satisfied the standard, without respect to age, many were received by those who were already exempt 
from legal obligation to attend, inasmuch as they were over 14 years of age. Some of the latter, who 
were pupils of Fifth classes in Superior Schools, appeared to receive the certificates with reluctance, 
regarding them as evidence of attainments much lower than those they really possessed. 

The higher classes in the Superior Public Schools were tested, as in former years, by written 
examinations in most of the important subjects. The results exhibited progressive improvement, and a 
fair proportion of the pupils showed a degree of proficiency equal, I think, to the requirements of the- 
University Junior Examination. The issue of Departmental certificates evidencing, in a reasonable 
measure, the attainments of these pupils would provide the pupils with well-earned testimonials of 
advancement beyond the elementary knowledge required to exempt them from obligatory attendance, 
and could not fail to benefit the schools generally. As the exemption certificate would show that the 
•miniTmim standard of elementary instruction had been reached, so the higher certificate would indicate 
that the required proficiency in the •'higher branches of education," which the Act makes the 
distinguishing feature of Superior Schools had been attained. 

The Manual Training Glass at the G-oulbum Technical School, in which provision is made for the 
instruction of 32 boys from the C^oulbum Public Schools, has been well attended throughout the year. 
The instruction is appreciated by both parents and pupils, and the results have, I think, been very 
beneficial. Early in the year the elder pupils of the Superior PubUc Schools at G-oulbum (boys* and girls') 
North G-oulbum (boys') and South Goulbum (boys*) were allowed to attend the Technical School for 
one lesson a week on Chemistry. About 90 boys and girls thus enjoyed the benefit of the experiments 
and instruction of the resident Science and Art Master, Mr. A. J. Sach, F.C.S. Their regular teachers 
accompanied the pupils, and afterwards revised the lessons received. The results of this arrangement f or- 
teaching science proved very satisfactory, as evidenced by the fact that 41 per cent, of those presenting 
themselves at a written examination held in November obtuned fully 50 per cent, of possible marks, and 
became eligible for cards of proficiency from the Technical Education Branch. Four girls and one boy 
distinguished themselves by gaining "honours," having received from 88 to 97 marks out of a possible 100. 

The Kindergarten instruction introduced in 1^0, into the Superior Public Schools at Goulbum, 
North Goulbum, South Ghoulbura, and Queanbeyan continues to form a pleasing and very helpful part 
of the infants' course in those schools. 

School banks are maintained in all the schools in which more than one teacher are employed, but 
the general depression of the year led to a reduction of depositors and deposits. 

It is gratifying to be able to report that the high standard of discipline that has long been a 
marked feature of our Public Schools has been well sustained throughout this district during the year. 
In most of the ichools visited by me the general discipline has merited high marks and the experience of 
the Inspectors engaged in the other sections appears from their reports appended hereto to have been 
equally satisfactory. 

At the end of 1893 there were 388. teachers of all classes employed in this district. They may be 
arranged under the following heads : —

With few exceptions the teachers perform their duties with earnestness and zeal, and it is a raro 
thing to find need for censure in respect to their personal conduct. In regard both to their professional 
work and their bearing as citizens they enjoy a high and well deserved reputation. The pupil-teachers 
continue to render valuable assistance in the conduct of the larger schools. 

When arrangements now in progress for opening schools in several isolated spots are completed, 
the educational wants of the district will be fully supplied. The material organisation of the schools is 
in general satisfactory. The proficiency of the pupils, as disclosed at the regular inspections shows 
progressive improvement for the year, and, so far as present circumstances may be taken as a guide, the 
prospects of 1894 are encouraging.

ANNEXE. 
IlrsFBCTOB Noxjln's Bbpobt,. 
At the end of last year 105 schools were in operation, of which 3, though not officially dosed until th& 
beginning of 1893, were not open during any portion of the current year. Thus 1893 opened with 102 
schools. During the year 4 small schools were closed on account of insufficient attendance, and 4 new 
schools were opened in localities previously without the means of education. The current year terminates 
with 102 schools at work. Sereiid of the existing small schools are likely to be closed early in the 
ensuing year, as the attendance thereat is insufficient to warrant their continuance ; on the other hand, 
a few small schools will be established at an wrij date to meet the requirements of recently settled 
localities. The existing schools are well distributed, and ihey, with the new schools contemplated, will 
a^ord ample educational facilities for the district. In too many cases, however, there is a lamentable 
^k of parental interest ; children are sent to school the baire number of days to comply with t^e 
oompulsory clause of the Public Instruction Act, for the renMunder of their time they are employed at 
tBOPm or stotion labour. 

In the more settled portions of the district substantial weU-equipped building^ have been provided 
and their material condition is satisfactory ; but in the majority of schools 1^ buil<Sn», though equal to 
the requirements of small and migratory populations, are of a make-shift character. During the coming 
year some oi the more unsuitable buildings will be replaced by more substantial structures. The erectioa 
of new buildings at Benanderah and Dairyman's Plains has already been sanctioned, and work wfll be 
oommenoed thereat early next year. 

During the current year the sum of £945 17b. 9d. was expended by ih» architect in the erection 
of a new building at Bateman's Bay, and in improvements to the schools at Cooma, Jembaicumbene and 
Mongarlowe. Under inspectoral Supervision 4 small buildings were erected at a cost of £176 lOs., 1 
buil&ig was enlarged for £39 10s. 6d., and an expenditure of £92 10s. 3d. was incurred in repairing 
20 schools. Two small buildings were provided by the residents. The existing schools provided 
accommodation for 4,818 pupils ; the total enrolment for the year was 8,878, and the average attendance 
was 2,006 ; during the latter part of the year the attendance was seriously alEected by long continued 
efHdemic sickness ; under ordinary circumstonces the accommodation fUready provided is in excess oithe 
requirements. 

All of the schools (106) on my list were regularly inspected, and 32 received ordinary inspection. 
Twenty- two schools were below, 3 up to, and 81 above standard requirements; for 1892, Mr. In8pect(»r 
Willis gave the corresponding numbers as (of 106 schools inspected) 20 below, 33 up to, and 63 above 
standard. In 1892, 81 per cent, satisfied, and 19 per cent, fell below stiuidard ; for the present year 80 
per cent, satisfied the standard and there was a 20 per cent, failure ; a comparison shows a slight falling 
off for 1893 ; irregularity of attendance, caused mainly by long continued illness, will probably account 
for the declension. 

Whilst pleased to be able to report in favourable terms upon the majority of the teachers, I regret 
having to state that, there are several who do not devote that constant attention to duty so essentiid to 
success. I am of opinion that, under ordinary circumstances, no school should fail to reach the existing 
standard, 50 per cent, of possible marks. Most of the schools, under my supervision are, in regard to 
attendance, very small, and they are in charge of unclassified teachers, some of whom, fail to reidise the 
importance of their duties. During the year several teachers received official censure for unsatisfactory 
work, and a few were dealt with for unreliable records. The teachers of the undermentioned schools 
deserve mention for creditable work done : — 

Major's Creek Public (8*1.) 
Araluen Public (7*8.) 
Cooma Infants* (7-8.) 
Braidwood Public (7-7.) 
Cooma Primary (7*5.) 
Bell's Creek PubUc (7-5.) 

The following schools secured passes at the University examinations: — Cooma Public, 5 juniors, 
1 senior ; Araluen Public, 2 juniors ; Adaminaby, 1 junior. A medal was awarded to Master J. Perkins, 
of Copma Public School, for proficiency in geography. 

The system of introducing certificates to pupils passing the standard prescribed by the Public 
Instruction Act did not come into force until late in the year, after the regular inspection of the majority 
of the schools, hence but very few certificates were awarded this year. 

As far as the teachers are reasonably accountable the organisation is fairly satisfactory ; in schools 
under trained teachers the material is carefully preserved, the classification is judicious, and the 
instruction is skilfully regulated; with many untrained teachers the prescribed lesson guides are 
constructed as a matter of course, but they are practically useless on account of their defective character 
and their non-observance. The disciplinary condition is, on the whole, very satisfactory. 

The pupil- teachers are worthy of commendation for their zeal and industry. 

As I h^ve had but one year's experience in this district, I am unable to compare, from personal 
knowledge, the work done during 1893 with the results of previous years. I trust, however, that existing- 
ing defects will soon be removed, and that my next report will be of a more satisfactory character than 
that which I have now the honor to submit. W. NOLAN, 

Braidwood, 23rd December, 1893. Inspector of Schools.

Ihbpectos Shxkht's Bepobt. 

The redistribution of schools at the commencenieiit of tfae jear has altered considerably the boundaries 
of this section. Its northern limits have been contracted by the annexation of the schools in the basin of 
the Lachlan River to those in the newly formed Crookwell section of the Bowral District. On the 
western side some of the schools near Murrumburrab were transferred to the Inspector at Young, and as 
a set-off the following schools were placed on my list : — ^Brawlin, Glarendoo, Coooa Creek, Lerida, Mitta 
Mitta, Huttama^ and Watson's Beef Public, together with Burnt Hut Creek Frovisional. After this 
adjustment and the discontinuance of Tarraban£ra Public and Berreimangra Proti^ional, owing to low 
enrolment of pupils, the schools under njiy superyision comprised : — 

Public ^.. ,....• 55 

Provisional •,....,..,, 18 

Half-time 6 , 

Total 79 

In the course of the March and June quartiers Bulga Hut and Cooney Provisional, Digger's Flat 
Half-time, and Geegullalong Public were permanently closed, as the attendance did not warrant their 
continuance. Early in the year new schools were opened at Cunningham Creek, Tumorrama, and 
Wyangle, places where no school previously existed. Tarrabandra Public was reopened in May, the 
residents having furnished a guarantee to supplement the teacher's salary should the minimum number 
required be not maintained. In November Cavan Public, which had been closed for a few months, vrad 
reopened as a House-to*house School, to be worked in conjunction with Warham, a new station. 

The Half-time Schools at Gorham and Toual were converted to Full-time Schools, and Manldoonen 
Public was reduced to Htilf -time rank. There were thus at the end of the year 79 schools in operation, 
viz. : — 

Public 68 

Provisional ,.„ 21 

Half-time 4 

House-to-house 1 

The establishment of a Provisional School at Billabong has been tanciioned, and it is expected 
that the building \rill be fit for occupation in January next. Applications were received for new schooU 
at Allandale, Beedy Creek, and Tenandra, and after due inquiry declined. 

Inspection, 

There were 83 schools in operation during the year or some portion thereof. Of these two had 
been closed before the time fixed for visiting them. The remaining 81 received a regular inspection, and 
in consequence of the instruction in regard to economy in travelling expenses only 2 received a second 
or ordinary inspection. The following table shows the number below, up to, and above the standard of 
general efficiency (50 per cent, of possible marks) : —

Discipline, 

The pupils are, as a rule, punctual, except in cases where they have to travel long distances to 
school. Their regularity is not so satisfactory. In most schools there are children on the rolls with a 
record of frequent absences each quarter. For this defect, so detrimental to their progress, the parents 
are to blame, who keep them at home chiefly on the plea of needing their services. The pupils present, 
as a rule, a pleasing, tidy appearance and becoming demeanour. They are, generally speaking, orderly 
and attentive under examination, and yield a willing obedience to their teachers. Corporal punishment 
is not much used, and is judiciously administered. One case only of undue severity occurred during the 
year.

Compared with the results obtained last year, the percentages show an improvement in reading,

geography, Euclid, and algebra. History is not well taught, and the number of passes in it is low. 
There is evidence, however, that this subject, and also meanings and mental operations in arithmetic, 
are receiving more attention than were formerly bestowed on them. 

Certificates of being educated up to the standard required by the Public Instruction Act of 1880 
were issued to 58 pupils in the course of the regular inspections during the December half-year. 

Two pupils from Murrumburrah Public were buccessf ul at the Junior Public Examination.

The teachers, as a body, are well fitted for their duties, and are earnest in the discharge of 'them. 
The pupil-teachers have given general satisfaction. The reports on their conduct and efficiency, and 
(with one exception) on their dUigeace in study, are very favourable.

Accommodation* 

Beckoned at 100 cubic feet of air space for each pupil, the sitting accommodation consists of 3,421 
places. During the year 376 places were gained by the erection of new buildings and the addition of 
schools to my list, and 583 places were lost by the closing of schools and the transfer of others to the 
Inspectors at Young and Crookwell. There was thus a decrease of 207 places for the year. Except in 
two small schools, which require to be enlarged, the accommodation provided is sufficient. The school^ 
buildings erected, their cost, &o., are given hereunder : —

Under the supervision of the Inspector, a weatliershed^ which cost £31*, has bam erected at 
Edwardstown. Repairs and improvement to 30 schools have been effected at a cost of £135 1^^ s., ani 
to 7 teachers* residences at a cost of £42 18s. 

Under the Architect, a weathershed has be.n built at South G-uniagai, and a ne.t substantial 
brick residence at Demondrille Junction. 

' In view of limited funds, several works were postponed till next year. 

Attendance, 

The attendance was affected by the epidemics which occurred daring the year. Otring to an 
outbreak of diphtheria, Burrowa, Binalong, an 1 Lang's Creek Public were closed until it was considered 
that they could be reopened with safety. In nearly every population centre throughout the district the 
children were attacked by measles, and, as the schools were kept open, the average attendance was very 
much reduced. 

Summari/, 

There has been an improvement in the general efficiency of 42 schools, and 83 per cent, of the 
total number inspected have been either up to or above the standard. Three new schools have been 
opened where no school had formerly existed, and it is expected that two others will soon be completed. 
The means of education are well distributed, and the prospects for the ensuing year may be regarded as 
favourable.

Small school-buildings at Corunna and Curia Creek were erected under mj supervision during 
1893. The latter replaced a very dilapidated structure used as a Provisional School ; at the former place 
no school existed previously. Bepairs to the residences at Turlinjah, Merimbula, l^imitybelle, Bega, 
Yerona, and Quaama were carried out, as also at the Public Schools at Avoca, Angledale, Lord's Hill,

For the first three quarters of the year the percentages of attendance were slightly in excess of the 
corresponding period for 1892. The att^idance, however, fell ofP very considerably in the last quarter. 
This was due to the epidemics of measles and influenza, which were pievalent throughout the district 
during the last three months of the year. Shearing and harvesting operations, as in previous years, also 
assisted in diminishing the attendance for the December quarter. 



Inspection. 

Durmg 1893 the following inspections were made : — ^Begidar, 102 ; ordinanr, 3 ; tatal, 105. Of 
the 3 schools not regularly inspected, 2, viz., Wagonga Provisional and Murrah Half-time, were closed 
on account of small attendance before my visit of inspection ; and Spring Vale Public School "was not in 
operation until the last week of December quarter. 

At the regular inspections held during the second half of the year certificates were issued to all 
pupils who pass^ the standard of efficiency required by the Public Instruction Act. Of such certificates 
212 were issued. 

The condition of the various classes of schools as shown at the time of inspection is given in the 
following table : —

These figures show that the efficiency of all schools has improved during 1893 ; for while in 1892 
12 per cent, of the schools inspected were below standard, only 7 per cent, were in such condition during 
D»93 ; nnd while, in 1892, 88 per cent, were up to or above standard, 93 per cent, were in this state in 
1893. The schools have fully mamtained their go'd character for crganisation and discipline; their tone 
is healthy, and corporal punishment is in no school unduly severe.

At the beginning of 1893 the Port Macquarie section of the G-rafton District was placed under the 
immediate supervision of Mr. Stewart Wright, B.A.,and in the latter half of the year Mr. Peter Board, 
M.A., succeeded Mr. H. D. M'Lelland, B.A., as Inspector of the Lismore section. The distribution of 
schools remained the same as in previous years, except that the Public School at Mororo was transferred 
from the Lismore to the Grafton section, and the Public School at Acacia Creek to the Armidale District. 
Hie year began with 285 schools in operation — ^203 Public, 49 Provisional, 22 Half-time, and 6

converted into a Provisional School, 2 Provisional Schools were closed, and the Infant School at South 
Grafton was incorporated in the Primary Department. In the Lismore section 2 Public and 4 Provisional 
Schools were established, and 2 schools (Condong and Tooloom) that had been closed for some time were 
re-opened j but 1 Provisional and 4 Public Schools were closed, and 2 Public Schools were transferred to 
other supervision. In the Port Macquarie section 3 Public, 5 Provisional, and 2 Half-time Schools were 
established ; and 2 Public, 1 House-to-house, and 5 Provisional schools were closed. There were, there-

Allowing 8 square feet of floor-space for each child, places Trere available for 18,337 pupils at the 
end of 1893, being an increase of 401 places for the year. In the Grafton section 5,430 places are 
available, 5,391 in the Lismore section, and 6,780 in the Port Macquarie section. Ample accommoda- 
tion is thus provided for existing requirements. 

The utmost economy compatible with keeping the school premises in fair tenantable order was 
exercised in connection with repairs and improvements effected. The total amount expended under 
Inspectoral supervision was £1,159 14s. ; viz , £250 7s. in the Grafton section, £542 ds. 9d. in the 
Lismore section, and £867 Ss. 3d. in the Port Macquarie section. The amount expended by the 
Architect was £3,614 6s. 3d. ; viz., £215 16s. lid. in the Grafton section, £2,009 Os. lOd. in the Lismore 
Fection, and £1,389 8s. 6d. in the Port Macquarie section. The total expenditure in the district, 
therefore, was £4,774 Os. 3d. Most of the premises are in good order ; but some new buildings will be 
required to replace rented ones, and many of the wooden structures will need painting before the end of 
the current year. 

One small Provisional School in the Grafton section and 1 Provisional and 2 Public Schools in 
the Lismore section were not inspected, as they were closed early in the year, on account of diminished 
attendance. There were 301 regular and 22 ordinary or second inspections made. The District 
Inspector held 97 regular inspections ; Mr. Inspector Wright, 113 ; Mr. Inspector M'Lelland, 46 ; and 
Mr. Inspector Board, 45. 10,676 pupils were examined — 3,498 in the Grafton section, 3,375 in Lismore 
section, and 3,803 in Port Macquarie section. There were 26 schools below and 275 up to or above the 
standard, viz. : — Grafton section, 9 schools below and 8i up to or above standard ; Lismore section, 8 
below and 83 up to or above standard ; and Port Macquarie section, 9 below and 108 up to or aboTO 
standard J thus 91*3 per cent, of the schools inspected either reached or exceeded the staodardf. Last 
year the percentage was 90*2. Although a larger percentage of the scbools satisfied the standards in 
1893 than in 1892, jet in most subjects the attainments are a shade lower. This is accoimted for by the 
fact that during the first half of the year the attendance was very irregular on account of long continued 
rain and floods, anl during the latter half by an epidemic of measles, which spread over the whole 
district. The subjoined tables will afford the means of comparing the results for the past two years :—

There is little room for dissatisfaction in connection with the organisation of most schools, nor can 
much exception be taken to the general discipline, although a few teachers still seem to regard the**caT:e** 
as an instrument for teaching. Tha instruction in nearly all cases corresponds with the requirements of 
the standards, and it is imparted with diligence. The behaviour of the pupils is decidedly good. In 
some schools ia each section very high results are achieved, and in this respect tho Superior Public 
School at Grafton stands first, embracing a courgo of instruction necessary not only to qualify for ibe 
ordinary University Examinations, but aLo for matriculation. 

Tho University Examinations were not so largely attended as in previous years j 14 pupils passed 
from 9 Echo'.ls, 5 of them being fr.m Grafton.

Much suffering and privation were caused on these rivers during the past year by repeated floods, 
and hence more applications than formerly were received for free education, and a larger amount of bad 
debts had to be cancelled. During the year the sum of £5,199 5s. was collected as school fees : — 
£1,663 13s. dd. in the Grafton section, £1,683 Os. 6d. in the Lismore section, and £1,852 lis. 3d. in the 
Port Macquarie section. Arrears of fees amounting to £175 14s. 9d. were due on the 3Ut December, 
1893, viz. : — Grafton section, £22 lOs. 6d. ; Lismore section, £81 12s. 3d. ; and Port Macquarie section, 
£71 14s. 9d. It is feared that a great portion of this amount is composed of bad debts, which will have 
to be cancelled. The Fee Returns for December show that in 163 schools no fees were owing ; in 52 
schools no single debt exceeded 5s. j and in 74 schools there were single debts of 6s. and upwards. 

The disbandment of the Attendance Officers in June disorganised the arrangements then existing 
for carrying out the provisions of the compulsory clauses of the Public Instruction Act ; but the new 
plan works smoothly, and the duties devolving upon the officers of the Police Department are carried 
out with promptness and efficiency. 

The Public School Banks have felt the pressure of the hard times during the year. 'N'everthelesa, 
these institutions are very fairly patronised. Keturns have not been received from the Port Macquarie 
section; but in the Grafton section there were on the Slst December, 1893, 17 Banks open, with 485 
depositors, having £154 12s. lid. at their credit j acd in the Lismore section, 13 Banks, with 455 
depositors, having a credit balance of £142 178. 9d. 

The various Public School Boards throughout the district have talen considerable interest in the 
schools under their immediate supervision, and have assisted the Inspectors by superTising the execution 
of minor repairs to the premijes in their several districts. A healthy influence is exerted upon the 
schools, which are systematically visited and reported upon by the School Boards. 

Special religious instruction continues to be given in all the large and several of the smaller 
schools throughout the district. The work is systematically carried out in connection with the Church 
of England children. Some W^sleyan and Presbyterian clergymen also take advantage of the provisions 
of the Act for this purpose ; and the Bev. Father Ahem has given religious instruction to the Catholic 
children in some of the schools on the Bellinger Biver. 

The School Staff consists of 271 teachera, 4 mistresses, 1 work-mistress, 20 assistantu, and 78 pupil- 
teachera. 1 he teachers (including mistresses and assistants) and pupil-teachers are classified as follows : —

The great body of teachers are respectable and respected members of society, who faithfully perform 
their duties both as teachers and citizens, and reflect credit upon the service with which they are connected. 
It must be admitted, howei»r, that there are a few who aro not strictlj temperate in their habits, and 
these fail to command the respect of either their pupils or their neighbours. The pupil-teachers have 
given much satisfaction to all charged with their supervision ; all passed the examinations last j ear. 
The ex-pupil-teachers in charge of small schools — the majority of the unclassified teacheri — are doing 
creditable work. 

In the general condition of the schools of the district there is much to be satisfied with, and 
where defects were noticed and pointed out the teachers in all cases promised to eflect improvement. 
The reports of Messrs. Wright and Board are attached.

ANNEX V. 
Inspector Wiiiqht*s Report. 
At the end of 1892 there were 107 schools in operation in this district, and during 1893 10 new schools 
were opened, viz., 3 Public (Hibbard, Kew, and Missabotti), 5 Provisional (Bohnock, Heron's Creek, 
Sidebottom, Telegraph Point, and Unkya Creek), 2 Half-time (Parrabel and Temagogue), so that there 
were 117 schools in operation during some portion of the year. Of these, 8 have been closed, 7 owing to

the limited attendance, riz., 2 Public (Brombin and Buccrabandini), 4 ProTisional (Qlenora, Pelican 
Island, Taylor's Ann, and Telegraph Point), 1 House (No. l),and the other, Camden Haven Provisional, 
as it had been replaced by Kew Public. There are, therefore, at the present time 109 schools in opera- 
tion, classified as follows : — 

Public 80

Total „. 109 

New schools ^ill be opened early in 1894 at Collombatti, Gunnon's Creek, and Wallingat, and 
these, with the existing schools, will adequately meet the educational requirements of the district, 
though one or two small schools may be required during 1891. 

Aceommodaiion, 

At the end of 1892 accommodation was provided for 6,456 pupils, allowing 100 cubic feet of air 
spice for each pupil. During 1893 places for 166 were lost by closing schools, while new places for 310 
were provided by the erection of new buildings, &c. There is thus a total gain of 174 places, there 
being accommodation now for 6,630 scholars. As the highest enrolment shown for any quarter of the 
year was 4,804, it is evident that ample provision has been made for the proper acccmmcdation of the 
children. 

Condition of School Properttf, 

The property of the Department is, generally speaking, in good condition. Some of the buildings 
have been attacked by white ants, which have done serious dJsmage, bul in other respects there is little 
cause for complaint, the teachers, as a body, having proved very careful tenants ; and in most places, 
where the site is fenced in, the grounds have been well attended to, trees have been planted, gardens, 
both flower and vegetable, have been formed, and a very pleasing and cheerful appearance has thus been 
given to the schools generally. In a number of cases, however, where the schools are sitimted on the 
river-banks, the results of months and even years of hard work have been swept away by the great floods 
which visited the district during the first half of the year. 

Wor^s done under Inepector. 

Under the supervision of the Inspector a lum of £367 38. 3d. has been expended — £254 08. in tire 
erection of new buildings, £45 in enlarging one school, £54 88. 3d. in repairing schools, and £13 10s. in 
repairing residences. For works not completed, a further sum of £154 lis. will be required — ^£136 for 
buildings in course of erection, and'£19 lis. for repairs row being executed. 

Inspection, 

All the schools (117) open during the year received a regular inspection, and 6 ordinary inspections 
were held. Of these, 5 regular and 8 ordinary inspections were made by Mr. District-Inspector Lobban, 
the rest by myself. The efficiency of the schools is shown in the following table : —

From this it will be seen that 92'3 per cent, of the schools in the district are up to or above 
standard requirements. Last year the percentage of passes was 89, so that an improvement of 3*3 per 
cent, in efficiency has taken place. The work done in the following schools, as shown by the results 
obtained at inspection, has been of a very high order, and is deserying of special mention : — ^Taree 
Superior, Wingham, West Kempsey Supwior, Pelican Island, Frederickton, and Bowraville. Three of 
these schools, viz.. West Xempsey Superior, Wingham, and Frederickton, were represented at the recent 
Junior University Examination ; two from tlie first-named school having passed, and one from eadx o£ 
the other schools.

Most of the 32 unclassified teachers are ex-pupil-teachers who have had the advantage of three or 
four years' practical training under exp3rienced teachers, and are therefore well fitted for the charge of 
small schools. Of the teachers generally it may be said that they form a capable and energetic body, 
who do their work in the schools faithfully, and outside of the schools take an actiye and inteUigent 
interest in the district in which they reside, and endeavour to j)romote its welfare. A few comphunts 
have been made against individual teachers during the year, but in only one instance was the matter a 
serious one. Each case was fully inquired into, and suitable action taken by the Department. 

Summary, 

The educational requirements of the district are adequately met. 

The school-buildings generally are in good repair. 

All the schools were regularly inspected, and 92*3 per cent, of them satisfied standard requirements. 

The teachers are zealous, capable, and energetic. 

The work done has been sound and progressive.

IXSFECTOB BOABS'S ReFOBT. 

The Lismore section of the Q-rafton District was under the supervision of Mr. Inspector M'Lelland 
during the first half of the year, and was placed under my charge on 1st July. 

At the close of last year there were 88 schools in this section, providing accommodation for 5,215 
pupils. During the year the schools at Byangimi, G-raham Town, Teven Creek, G-oolmangar, and Nashua 
have been closed owing to diminished attendance, and, in January last, the school at Mororo was trans- 
ferred to the Grafton section, and the Acacia Creek school to the Olen Innes section of the Armidale 
District. New schools have been established at Korrara, Dungay, Biley'a Sill* Tuckabuira, Donbible*

and Cabbage Tree Inland, and the schools at Condong and Tooloom, which had been closed for some 
time, were re-opened. This year, therefore, closes with 89 schools in operation ; of these, 67 are Public, 
20 are ProTisional, and 2 are Half-time schools ; the total enrolment is 4,501, and sitting accommodation 
is proTided for 5,391 pupils. 

A new school-building, erected at Burringbar to meet the educational needs of residents along the 
line of railway in course of construction, will be ready for occupation at tb© beginning of 1894. -Appli- 
cations hayo been received for the establishment of schools at Bichmond, Bed Hill, Crabbers Creek, 
Woodenbong, White Swamp, and Crystal Creek ; those received from Bichmond and White Swamp have 
been granted by the Minister, and early in the coming year schools will be brought into operation at 
these places. 

During the year six school-buildings have been erected under the supervision of Mr. Inspector 
M*Lelland, at a total cost of £336 16s., and the Fchoolrooms at Biley and Point Danger have been 
enlarged at a cost of £142 18s., the former under the Inspector's and the latter under the -Architect's 
supervi:*ion. The sum of £152 Os. 9d. has been expended in effecting the necessary repairs to 31 school- 
bmldings. A new class-room for the Public School at Drake is now approaching completion. 

In the course of the year 91 Echools received a regular inspection, 46 of these by Mr. Inspector 
M'Lelland. Three schools, Byangum, Graham Town, and Nashua, were closed before an opportunity 
was afforded for inspecting them. Two schools received an ordinary inspection from my predecessor, 
and incidental visits have been paid as occasion offered. Of the 91 schools inspected, 8 were found to 
be below standard, 2 up to standard, and 81 above standard. The results of inspection are shown in the

These results indicate that in reading and writing the percentages of passes have changed but 
little; in arithmetic, algebra, mensuration, and needlework a decrease appears, whilst in other 
subjects there has been a distinct advance. 

The organisation of the schools and the discipline maintained in them are satisfactory ; the 
teachers are, with very few exceptions, earnest and industrious ; the pupil-teachers have been, without 
exception, favourably reported upon by those who are charged with their supervision. 

In yiew of the present condition of the schools of this district, the prospect for 1894 is favourable.

Meport of the Minister of Fublio InstructiofK 169 

Tlie following is a brief summarj of school work and extension carried out in tliis district during 
the year. 

Maitland Section, — A new Infant School was completed and opened at Wallsend, and a Pro- 
visional School was established at Rockview. The school-buildings at Noraville were removed to Wyee, 
and re-erected there, as the old schoolroom was unsuitable. An application for a Provisional School at 
Sawyer's Gully has been granted, and operations will start there in a rented building this month. The 
Half-time School at Mount Finch was closed early in the year for want of attendance, and Dairy Arm 
was worked with Murray's Bun, which was reduced to Half-time rank. 

The Public School at Leconfield was closed in August, as the bulk of its pupils could, without 
much inconvenience, attend at G-reta. The sum of dS132 16s. 6i. was expended by the District In8pect3r- 
in effecting improvements to 20 schools and residences. 

Newcastle Section. — A splendid new Infant Department was opened at Wictham, and extensive 
improTements were effected to a considerable number of schools and residences. 

Musclehrook Section, — But one application was received during the year for a new school, which 
was declined. 

Dungog Section, — Two new schoob. Branch River House and Webber's Creek Provisional, were 
opened early in the year. Barriogton Aborigines' Camp Public and Gloucester Provisional were con- 
certed to Half-time Schools j Binglebrah and Sugarloaf 'Creek Half-time to House Schools ; and Narani 
Public and Seal Bocks Provisional to House Stations. The number of schools in operation in the 
Maitland District at the close of the year was as follows : —

* Existing schools are, on the whole, centrally placed, and afford sufficient space for more pupils 
than the highest average attendance during the year. 3 he total amount of floor-space for the whole 
district at the end of 1893 was 27,426, and the number of cubical spaces 28,588, being an increase of 966 
and 1,106 respectively on last year. 

Organisation and discipline continue to improve, fewer defects having been found in the records, 
and recourse to corporal punishment haying been less frequent than in former years. 

Tree-planting and horticulture have fallen off in comparison with previous years.

Tery Batisf actory, with few exceptions* Many of the teachers are men and women of good education and 
refinement of character. Many are indefatigable workers. Nearly all are studiously inclined, which is 
eridenced by the number who were promoted by examination during the year. The pupil- teachers, a Tery

Summary. 
Three new schools were opened during the year. Accommodation exists for 27,426 pupils. The 
course of inspection has been complete and thorough ; and although floods and measles interfered with 
the attendance during two quarters of the year, l,2l^ more pupils were examined than daring 1892. 
The employees of the Department have, on the whole, worked zealously and effcctirely. 
The condition of the district in regard to primary education is sound and progrepsive.

ANNEX Y. 
Disteict-Inspectob T. Dwteb's Repobt osr Newcastle Section. 
The number of schools in operation in the Newcastle section of the Maitland District for 1893 was 53, 
the same as for last year. During the year a new and spacious Infant School was completed at Wickham, 
and improTcments and repairs were effected to a considerable number of buildings by the Architect. 
The buildings are iu a yery fair state of repair, and afford ample accommodation for present require- 
ments. The total floor-space for this section is 9^21, being an increase of 808 orer last year. 

Tree-planting and g^ardening continue to receire due atteniiom. 

Organisation and discipline indicate marked adrancement on past years, no salient pointi being 
lost sight o^ and defects becoming less general. 

Every school in the section received a regular inspection. The number of pupils examined was 
9,074. Tlie percentage of schools that satisfied tiio standard is 98, which is the same as for last year.

The teachers and pupil-teachers continue to give very general satisfaction in the discharge of 
tlieir duties, and in their intercourse with the people. They are studious, and a numher of them are 
men and vromen of high attainments and mature judgment. The pupil-teachers' Saturday classes at 
Wickham continue to he largely and regularly attended. 

The Cookery School has been made a success through the energy, skill, and unremitting attention 
of Mrs. Storey and Miss Porteous. 

The condition of the Primary Schools in this section leaves no reasonable ground for complaint. 

T. DWYER, 
East Maitland, 5tli January, 1894 District Inspector. 



ANNEX Z. 
Inspbctoe Flashman's Repobt. 

Few changes have taken place in the boundaries of this section, or the number of schools contained 
therein during the past year. 

Last year closed with 79 schools on my list. Owendale Provisional School was not reopened this 
year, and the Public School at Dunbars Creek was closed in consequence of diminished attendance ; tiie 
House School at Cuan was converted into a Half-time School, and worked with a new school at Bunnan. 

The year closed with the following schools in operation : — 

Public 49 

Provisional 8 

Half-time 18 

House 3 

Total 78 

The attendance at the schools at Brushy Hill, Eavensworth, Ravensworth North, Page River, 
Munmurra, Rouchel Vale, Bow Ridge, and Redwell, has been very unsatisfactory during the year j the 
question of continuing them vrill have to be considered during next year. 

■ The material condition of all the schools is good, and the teachers' residences are in a satisfactoiy 
condition. A new and commodious school building has been erected and opened at Aberdeen. 

Seats have been provided for 4,728 pupils, while the enrolment is about 3,800, so that it will be 
observed that ample provision has been made for the educational accommodation of the school population. 

As far as I am aware, the schools are so placed as to be within easy reach of nearly all the 
children of this district. 

Only one application was received during the year for a new school : as the site selected was within 
1 mile of an established school, the application was declined. 

All the schools in this section received a regular inspection, but no ordinary inspections were 
made. I am pleased to be able to report that in most of the schools very satisfactory work has been 
done, and in a few the results obtained were far above the average. 

The schools obtaining the highest marks for general eflSciency were : Bulga, Rix Creek, Singleton 
Boys', Singleton Girls', Sparkes Creek, Vere, Cuan, Q-ouldsville, Mount Thorley, Murrurundi, Muswell- 
brook, Owen's Gap, Rouchel, and Roughit. 

In many subjects the percentages up to or above the standard are higher than those obtained last 
"year. A marked improvement is noticed in Reading, Dictation, Grammar, Geography, English Bistoij, 
Scripture History, Music, Algebra, and Needlework. 

Most of the teachers now fully realise the necessity, if satisfactory results are to be obtained, of 
keeping the provisions of the standards constantly in view, and teaching strictly in accordance with them. 
'The methodical painstaking, conscientious teacher finds but little difficulty in doing good work, but those 
teachers who depend upon a few week's imnatural activity just previous to the expected annual 
'inspection usually find that such work will not stand the test of rigid inspection and that the cramming 
process entirely fails on the day of examination.

Report of the Minister of JPuhVic Instruction, 173 

The number of scbools aboTe Ihe standard this year is 71, ■while 7 failed to satisfy the rcquiremeLts. 
IJast year the number that failed was 11. 

The organization of the schools still continues to be of a pleasing character. Ko serious defects 
hare been noted ; in most cases tbe echool-rooms present an attractive appearance. 

The discipline is generally mild, firm, and effectiye, its tone is modified by the personal influence, 
of the teacher's character. The sympathetic teacher produces good results by moral suasion ; his pupils 
love to obey because it is one way they have of showing their regard for him ; thecold, distant, harsh 
teacher's discipline is more the result of fear than respect, it is uneven, unreliablei easily upset, the 
removal of the teacher's eye or presence is a signal for disorder. 

The moral tone of the Echool and the general demeanour of the pupils are inseparably connected 
with the character of the discipline *; while I have been much pleased in observing in many cases the 
respectful bearing of pupils towards their teachers when beyond the vicinity of the school-room, I have 
been pained to note in other instances the almost entire absence of even deferential recognition, and that 
outside the school-room the teacher and the taught appear to be entire strangers to one another ; this is 
not as it should be and the fault most certainly rests with the teacher ; he has in a most emphatic manner 
given the impression that his interest in his pupils is purely selfish and that he is a stranger to the 
higher impulses which should actuate every member of the teaching profession. 

Six teachers were examined in June last for promotion, but only 3 were successful. 

The pupil-teachers employed in this section are industrious, hard-working, and respectable young 
persons, they have done good work and give promise of extended usefulness in the future. All the pupil- 
teachers gained promotion during the year. 

The educational requirements of the i ection have been well met during 1893. 

C. O. FLASHMATS", 
Muswellbrook, 28tb December, 1893. Inspector. 



ANNEX ZL 

Inspectob WATEEHorsB's Befobt. 

In accordance with your icstructions, I beg to submit a short and concise report upon the schools in the 
Dungog section of the Maitland District for tbe year 1893. 

At the close of 1892 there were 83 schools in operation. One of them — Wort well Half-time — was 
not reopened this year in consequence of diminished attendance. Two new schools. Branch Biver House 
and Webber's Creek Provisional, were opened early in the year. Barrington Aborigines' Camp Public 
and Gloucester Provisional were converted to Half-time, Binglebrah and Sugarloaf Creek Half-time, 
Karani Public and Seal Bocks Provisional to House Stations. As a result of these changes, the schools at 
the close of the year 1893 were classified thus :— 

PubUc 60 

Provisional ••• 8 

Half-time 10 

House * • 4 

Total 82 

New school buildin(;5 have been erected at Nelson's Bay, Ward's Biver, and Welshman's Creek, 
to replace old or unsuitable structures. At Dungog, a new residence has been built under the architect's 
supervision. Speaking generally the school buildings are in very fair repair ; many cf the wooden struc- 
tures, however, greatly need repainting. Bepairs and improvements to fourteen schools and seven 
residences have been effected under the Inspectcr's supervision, at a cost of £311 19s., and tenders for 
three other buildings, at a cost of £100, have been accepted, and the wcrk is now being proceeded with. 

I regret to report that the buildings at Miller's Forest and Nelson's Plains were seriously injured 
by the devastating floods cf last March, and that the teachers lost almost the whole cf their perscnal 
effects. 

The following applications for the establishment cf schools were dealt with :— 

The Fens — House School; declined. 

Stonehenge — Provisional j declined for the present. 

Hanley's Cre<5k — Half-time ; House School offered, but declined by the residents. 

New Glanmcrgan — Public j sanctioned. 

I?tfttute accommodation is provided for 4,440 children, and floor space, allowing 8 square fed for 
eac^i child, for 4,804. As the highest average attendance during any quarter of the year "vas only 2,S89, 
it is evident that tbe aggregate acccmmodatitn is more than suflicient ; in a few cases it is considerably 
in ex-eess of present roquirements, and in cnly two instances are the children uncomfortably ciowded. 

Evjery echocl in this section was fully inspected, acd fourteen underwent an ordinary inspection.

compares favourablj with last jear's wcrk. It maj be mentioned that of the schools below standard one 
had not been in operation a jear at the time cf inspection, whilst two others were treated as below

as for last year. There ii a slight improTement in the majority of subjects, and the only ones not quite 
60 good are Object Lessons and Drill by 1 per cent, j Writing, Grammar, and Scripture by 2 per cent. ; 
and Drawing by 4 per cent. 

The teaching staff consists of 77 teachers, 3 assistants, and 10 pupil-teachers, who, on the whole, 
haye maintained their high character for personal conduct and attention to duty. 

The work of the year has been satisfactory, and the prospects for 1894 are hopeful.

Distbict-Inspectob Lawfobd's Eepobt. 

I WAS placed in charge of the Wagga District on 1st July, as successor to the late District Inspector, 
Mr. Gerald O* Byrne, an old and very popular public servant, whose death on 31st May was regretted by 
all who knew him. Mr. Pearson, the Inspector stationed last year at Hay, was removed to Albury at the 
beginning of the year, and Mr. M'Xenzie was appointed to the charge of the Hay section, Mr. Friend 
still remains in charge of the Young section of the district. 

The following seven schools — Watson's Reef, Brawlin, Muttama, Burnt Hill Creek, Mitta Mitta, 
Cjoba Creek, Clarendon — were transferred from the Young eection of this district to the Yass section of 
the Goulbum district, in exchange for seven others, viz., Demondrille, CoUingrove (late BenglM), 
Xhalangan, Burrowa Flats, Murrimboola, Tiverton, and Barwang, which were transferred from the Yass 
to the Young section at the beginning of the year. Otherwise the boundaries of the district remain as 
they were last year.

Of these 12 are new spools or are reopened schools which had not been open during any part of 

Fourteen schools have been closed during the year, leaving 314 in operation in December ; but of 
these it is probable that one or two will not be opened in January, owing to the reduced attendance. Of 
the 328 open during the year 322 received a regular or full inspection, while 6 schools were not 
inspected, viz., Tooma (Public), Manus (Half-time), and Upper Tumbarumba (Half-time), in the Albury 
section, which were closed on account of low attendance before the Inspector cotdd reach them ; and 
"Wemmera (House-to-house), Bloomfield (House-to-house), and Mundawaddera (Public), in the Wagga 
section. Of these Wemmera was closed before I took charge of the district, and the other two collapsed 
before I could visit them. These very small schools often depend upon a single &mily for their con- 
tinuance. 

As regards accommodation there is an increase since last year in the number of places availablci 
the figures being : — 





At 8 square feet per head. 


At 100 cubic feet per head.

There are plenty of schools, well distributed, and I do not know of a single case of overcrowding. 

Kepairs and improvements at 86 schools and 18 residences have been effected under the inspectoral 
staff at a total cost of £428 188. 6d. and £318 12s. 8d. respectively, and 9 new schools have been built 
under the same supervision at a cost of £705 2s. Od. 

A new departure has been made since July in causing all children in the 4th and 5th classes to be 
regularly examined for a certificate, according to the Act, of being educated up to the standard. Tlie 
result is a little disappointing, a comparatively small percentage of children having passed. In many 
cases this was due to a want of accuracy in arithmetic, and in many to a want of acquaintance with the 
spelling of the Fourth book, but I fully expect that far better results will be shown next year. In reading 
and writing nearly every child passed. 

In point of efficiency the condition of the schools inspected remains the same as it was last year, 
90 i)er cent, being up to or above the standard, in numbers 293 out of 322. More than this degree of 
efficiency cannot reasonably be expected, and there is no reason to suppose that this high rate will not be 
maintained.

I5SFE0T0B Fsieicd's Bcport. 

At the commencement of the year, a change was made in the boundaries of the southern portion of the 
district, by transferring to my list the following schools, situated in the vicinity of Murrumburrah and on 
the northern or Young side of the Great Southern railway line : — Demondrille, Collingrove (formerly 
known as Douglas), Khalangm, Burrowa Flats, Murrimboola, Tiverton, and Barwang. At the same 
time I was relieved of BrawLn, Muttama, Burnt Hut Creek, Mitta Mitta, Cooba Creek, Clarendon, and 
Watson's Eeef Schools, which lie further south,— an arrangement which, rendering this district more 
compact, materially simplifies the work of inspection. 

During the whole or some part of the year, there were 98 schools under my supervision ; two 
(Cudgel Creek and Glenlogan), lapsed in consequence of small attendance. New schools came into 
operation at Tyagong, Grogan, Willundry, and Mulyan (this last established for aboriginal children). 
Dinga Dingi, which had been closed for some months, war reopened. Additional petitions for schools 
were received from Wy along. Cairn Hill, and Wedallion 5 one was sanctioned at the last of these places 
only. 

The buildings provide very liberal accommodation, are appropriately furnished, and the majority 
of them are in a satisfactory state of repair. Some, however, are badly in need of pai:.ting, a work which 
the scarcity of funds has prevented ; it is hoped that they will receive attention during the current year. 
Under the Inspector's supervision school-rooms were erected at Mount M*Donald, Murrimboola, Milburn 
Creek, and Tyagong, the cost being £505 93. 6d. j that at Holmwood was enlarged (price £36), and

repairs -were executed at 30 schools and 3 teachers^ residences, — at a cost of £228 18s. 4d. Improyements 
of an important nature at Cowra, and the erection of a brick school building in place of the old structure 
at Yeo Yeo, were carried out by the architect. 

The regular inspection of erery school in operation during any part of the year was effected, and 
20 receiyed an ordinary inspection. Of the 98 schools, 89 were found to be above standard, and 9 below.

Comparing (he results of the two years, an examination of this synopsis discloses nM>re or 'less 
retrogression in the majority of the subjects during 18f 3. The progress of education in the Cowva 
portion of this district (which comprises a large percentage of my schools) was cheeked by an outbreak 
of diphtheria in the early part of the year, which had the effect of closing nearly all those within 20 mile* 
of the town for periods of from two to four months ; this circunutance will, in a large measure, account

Report of the Minister of Fuhlio Instruction, 



177 



for the falling off in the attainments of the pupils. But another impediment was at work throughout 
the district generally in the shape of a long-liTed epidemic of measles. These scourges continued to exert 
a damaging influence upon the schools after thej had disappeared, for the scare did not readilj suhside, 
and many people withheld their children from school for weeks after the diseases had heen stamped out. 

As a rule, the methods employed are suitahle^ and applied with earnestness and care ; the dis- 
ciplinary condition of almost every school is highly satisfactory ; hut there is still room for improvement 
as regards the classification of the pupils. Those teachers who have erred on this important point are 
chiefly such as have not been long m charge of school?, or not had the advantages of pnpil-teachership 
or the Training College. It is a matter for regret that the lalue of punctuality of attendance does not 
appear to he duly estimated in some few localities. 

The teachers, mistresses, and assistants of the district comprise :— IB, 3 ; 2A, 9 ; 2B, 6 $ 3A, 30 ; 
SB, 10; 3C, 5 ; unclassified, 36. In addition to these there are 19 pupil-teachers and 1 work-mistress. 

With very few exceptions they are competent, reliable, anxious for improvement, and deservedly 
respected in their several localities. Three or four, however, who richly merited the censure of the 
Department, have been, or shortly will be, removed to less important positions in the service. 

With regard to University Examinations, Young Superior Public, with one senior and eleven 
junior passes, continues to maintain a high place amongst our Public Schools^ whilst Qrenfell Superior 
Public has two leniors to its credit. To conclude — 

1. All schools received a regular and twenty an ordinary inspection. 

2. The buildings provide more than the necessary accommodation. 

3. The legitimate educational wants of the district are well met. 

4. The prospects are hopeful. CHAS. J. W. FRIEND, 
Young, SOth March, 189*. Inspector. 

ANNEX Z4. 
Inspectoe Peaeson*s Report. 

When I took charge of the Albury section at the begiDnin<; of 1893 there were 88 schools in operation, 
classified as— Public, 56 ; Provisional, 13 ; Half-time, 18 ; House, 1 ; total, 88. 

During the year Butherwah (Provi-ional) and Mundaroo (Provisional) were established ; Oumie 
(Half-time) was converted intj Provisional j Jingellic (Half-time), which was closed for a few months, 
was re-opened as Provisional. 

Obeme (Public) and Umbango (Public) were converted into half-time. 

The following were closed on account of diminished attendance, viz., Carabost, Humula (South), 
Manus, Upper Tumbarumba (Half-time), Tooma (Public), Khancoban, and Lobb*s Hole (Provisional). 
At the close of 1893 the schools numbered 83. 

The requirements of the district are well met, and it is not probable that any new schools will be 
required for some time. 

Of the 90 schools in operation during the year all except 3 were fully inspected. These were 
Tooma (Public), Manus, ana Upper Tumbarumba (Half-time). These small schools were closed on 
account of very low average before I could roach their respective localities. 

Of the 87 schools inspected, 3 were below, 3 up to, and 81 exceeded the standard limit*.

These resultB compare favourably with those of last year, the majority of the subjects showing ii 
slight adTanco. 

The schools showing the lowest percentages are Froyisional, under the control of unclassified 
teachers. The schools of highest efficiency are in order of merit : — Albury Boys, G-ermanton, Albury 
Infants, Burrumbuttock, Albury Girls, Howlong, Major's Plains, Moorwatha, and Tumut I^lains. 

Horticulture and Arboriculture have been carried on with perseverance and taste in the majority 
of schools, in some oases under adverse circumstances. 

The organisation of a number of schools is very unsatisfactory, but the discipline i% of a high 
standard.

As the enrolment does not reach 3,000, the accommodation provided is more than sufficient. 
New school-buildings were erected at Butherwah and Mundaroo by the Inspector, at a total cost 
of £120. These buildings, which were erected where no schools previously existed, give an additional 
accommodation of 6Q places. 

Twenty-one school-rooms were repairei and improved by the Inspector at a cost, of £115 8s. 6d., 
and three teachers* residences were also repaired, involving an additional cost of £180. 
No work6 are in progress. 

The substantial and commodious new school-building at Urana was completed in the early part of 
the year, and is now occupied. The old building was converted into additional roams to teacher's 
residence. 

At the close of the year the teaching staff comprised : —

Generally speaking, the teachers are diligent, painstaking, and zealous, and, with few exceptions, 
are highly esteemed by parents and the general public. The efficiency of the schools has been 
maintained. 

The accommodation is more than sufficient. 

There is reason to anticipate higher results in 1894.

The schools in this section are well distributed, fully staffed, and satisfactorily meet the requirements of 
the residents. 

At the end of the year 1892 there were 62 schools and departments in operation, one of which 
has since been closed, wliUst a discontinued school has been re-opened. There have been, therefore, 63 
schools and departments in operation during the year 1893, including in all 51 Pubh'c, 8 Provisional, and 

4 House-to-house Schools. 

Small school-buildings, to replace old ones, were erected at G unbar and Moulamein j 3 new class- 
rooms were completed at Alma ; 3 verandah class-rooms were enclosed at Broken Hill ; the school-room 
at Cummeragunja was enlarged ; and repairs v;ere effected in 20 schools and 6 residences. 

Applications for new schools were received from Connorgie, Colinroobie, Brobenah, Goondarin, 
and^unagoyt j also applications for the reopening of schools at Paika, Wanganella, and Pretty Pine. 
Paika Provif ioiial School was reopened ; the applications from Connorgie and Goondarin were declined ; 
and teachers were promised conditionally at Colinroobie, Brobenah, Nunagoyt, Wanganella, and Pretty 
Pine. 

All schools were fully inspected, and, as a rule, the buildings were found to be in good repair, the 
accommodation ample, the supply of furniture and school material sufficient, ani the condition of the 
schools, as regards organisation, discipline, and instruction, satisfactory. Of 63 schools inspected, 57 
were above, and 3 up to standard, giving 95 per cent, up to or above standard, which Is an advance of 

5 per cent, on last J earV record. 

The total enrolment for the year is 7,141, and the average attendance 3,614*6, while there i© 
statute accommodation for 6,558 pupils, and floor-space for ^,478, thus showing an increase on last year's 
accommodation.

SaTiogd Bi^iks are established in all the mmre important schools ; 4 schools possess cadet corps, 
and arboriculture receives a fair amount of attention. Oalj 3 schools, howcter, made any serious 
attempt to prepare candidates for the Uniyersity examinations, Tiz., Alma, Deniliqnin, and Tattaila. 

Of the teachers generally it may be said that they exhibit a deep interest in the success of their

ANNEX 7JQ, 

Disteict-Inspectob Long's Bepobt. 

The divisions of my district for inspectoral supervision have remained unaltered, but from the beginning 
of the year, Mr. J. W. E. Baillie has had charge of the Dubbo, or Western Section, vice Mr. J. L. Smith, 
removed to Crookwell. 

The number of schools in operation in the district during the whole or some portion of 1893 
was 233. It has been necessary to close the schools in several localities on account of insufficient 
attendance, while new schools have been established at Springfield, Wilpingong, Dunsbury, Dilga, Ardell, 
Comobella, and Fashion's Mount. The number of schools m operation at the end of the year was 225, 
of which 97 are in the Mudgee, 63 in the Dubbo, and 65 in the Wellington Section. The buildings in 
which these are conducted contain accommodation for 13,029 pupils, at the regulation rate of 8 feet of 
floor-space per head, which is an increase of 172 places for the year. That this is sufficient appears from 
the facts that the whole number of pupils on the class-rolls, deducting multiple enrolments, was 10,979, 
and the average daily attendance 6,900*6. The buildings are, with few exceptions, in seiviceable condi- 
tion, but repainting is desirable in the case of a considerable number. Where increased or improved 
aooommodation is desirable the necessary action has already been initiated. Under Inspectors' super- 
vision, 4 school-rooms have been erected, 1 enlarged, and 5i school-rooms and 8 residences repaired, 
at a total cost of £765 18s. 8d., being but little more than half the expenditure m this direction in the 
former year. 

All the schools received a regular inspection, excepting one House-to-house School, which was 
closed prior to the Inspector's visit to the localitj. The following statement shows the inspections 
effected in the several sections in the district :—

The general efficiency of 140 of the above schools was found to deserve the creditable estimate 
" Above Standard." In the ca«e of the following 77 schools the efficiency was satisfactory, or " Up to 
Standard " :— Angledool, Armatree, Beni, Biunaway, Byrock, Curban, Gilgandra, Goodooga, Gulargam- 
bone, Louth, Nevertire, Orandelbinnia. Timbriebungie, Trangie, Warkton, Brewarrina Mission, Eilginbah,

Boomey, Bridgewater, Fashion's Mount, Lincoln, Medway, Peabody, Station Point, Store Creek, 
Arthurville, Ponto, Burrendong, Mookerawa, Lower Spicer's Creek, Dilga, Ardell. The general efficiency 
was ** Below Standard," or unsatisfactory, in the case of the following fifteen schools : — Moiungulan, 
Mulyan, Newrea, Muddy Creek, Warburton, Bound Swamp, Avisford, Campbell's Creek, Bimbijong, 
Kelgoola, Pinnacle Swamp, Minore, Bundemar, Ironbarks, Goolma. That a school should appear in the 
latter section is evidence of defective ability or diligence on the part of the staff, excepting of course 
caaet'in which causes beyond a teacher's control have rendered satisfactory results impossible. 

From the above it appears that 217 schools, or over 93 per cent, satisfied or exceeded standard in 
general efficiency. This is an improvement of 4 per cent, on the result of the former year, and ia view 
of the extent to ^hich thetittendance has been effected by meailes and other epidemics must be regarded 
as very satisfactory.^

Generally speaking, the teachers are diligent, painstaking, and zealous, and, with few exceptions, 
are highly esteemed by parents and the general public. The efficiency of the schools has been 
maintained. 

The accommodation is more than sufficient. 

There is reason to anticipate higher results in 1894.

ANNEX Z5. 

Inspbctob M'Kekzie*8 Befo&t. 

Thb schools in this section are well distributed, fully staffed, and satisfactorily meet the requirements of 
the residents. 

At the end of the year 1892 there were 62 schools and departments in operation, one of which 
has since been closed, wMst a discontinued school has been re-opened. There have been, therefore, 63 
schools and departments in operation during the year 1893, including in aU 51 Pubh'c, 8 Provisional, and 

4 House-to-house Schools. 

Small school-buildings, to replace old ones, were erected at Gunbar and Moulamein ; 3 new class- 
rooms were completed at Alma ; 3 verandah class-rooms were enclosed at Broken Hill ; the school-room 
at CummeraguTija was enlarged ; and repairs v;ere effected in 20 schools and 6 residences. 

Applications for new schools were received from Connorgie, Colinroobie, Brobenah, Goondarin, 
and^Unagoyt ; also applications for the reopening of schools at Paika, Wanganella, and Pretty Pine. 
Paika Provisional School was reopened ; the applications from Connorgie and Goondarin were declined ; 
and teachers were promised conditionally at Colinroobie, Brobenah, Nunagoyt, Wanganella, and Pretty 
Pine. 

All schools were fully inspected, and, as a rule, the buildings were found to be in good repair, the 
accommodation ample, the supply of furniture and school material sufficient, and the condition of the 
schools, as regards organisation, discipUne^ and instruction, satisfactory. Of 63 schools inspected, 57 
were above, and 3 up to standard, giving 95 per cent, up to or above standard, which is an advance of 

5 per cent, on last J earV record. 

The total enrolment for the year is 7,141, and the average attendance 3,614*6, while there i» 
statute accommodation for 6,558 pupils, and floor-space for ^,478, thus showing an increase oii last year's 
accommodation.

Savioga Bimks are established in all tbammre important echoed ; 4 schools possess cadet corps, 
and arboriculture receiyes a fair amount of attention. Only 3 schools, howe? er, made any serious 
attempt to prepare candidates for the University examinations, viz., Almf^ Deniliqnin, wid Tattaila. 

Of the teachers generally it may be said that they exhibit a deep interest in the success of their 
schools, are diligent and conscientious in the discharge of their duties, and are doing excellent work, 
often under trying circtimstances.

ANNEX Z6. 



Disteict-Inspectob Long's Bepobt. 
The divisions of my district for inspectoral supervision have remained unaltered, but from the beginning 
of the year, Mr. J. W. E. Baillie has had charge of the Dubbo, or Western Settion, vice Mr. J. L. Smith, 
removed to Crookwell. 

The number of schools in operation in the district during the whole or some portion of 1893 
was 233. It has been necessary to close the schools in sevend locaiities on account of insufficient 
attendance, while new schools have been established at Springfield, Wilpingong, Dunsbury, Dilga, Ardell, 
Comobella, and Fashion's Mount. The number of schools m operation at the end of the year was 225, 
of which 97 are in the Mudgee, 63 in the Dubbo, and 65 in the Wellington Section. The buildings in 
which these are conducted contain accommodation for 13,029 pupils, at the regulation rate of 8 feet of 
floor-space per head, which is an increase of 172 places for the year. That this is sufficient appears from 
the facts that the whole number of pupils on the class-rolls, deducting multiple enrolments, was 10,979, 
and the average daily attendance 6,900*6. The buildings are, with few exceptions, in serviceable condi- 
tion, but repamting is desirable in the case of a considerable number. Where increased or improTcd 
accommodation is desirable the necessary action has already been initiated. Under Inspectors' super- 
vision, 4 school-rooms have been erected, 1 enlarged, and 54 school-rooms and 8 residences repaired, 
at a total cost of £765 ISs. 8d., being but little more than half the expenditure m this direction in the 
former year. 

All the schools received a regular inspection, excepting one House-to-house School, which was 
closed prior to the Inspector's visit to the locality. The following statement shows the inspections 
effected in the several sections in the district : —

The general efficiency of 140 of the above schools was found to deserve the creditable estimate 
" Above Standard." In the case of the following 77 schools the efficiency was satisfactory, or " Up to 
Standard'': — Angledool, Armatree, Beni, Biunaway, Byrock, Curban, Gilgiindra, Q-oodooga, Gulargam- 
bone, Louth, Nevertire, Orandelbinnia. Timbriebungie, Trangie, Warkton, Brewarrina Mission, Eilginbah, 
Koonbar Creek, Plain Creek, Belarbigill, Coalbaggie, Ford's Bridge, Bone Bone, Brcelong, Collie, Duns- 
bury, Furlewaugh, CuUenbone, Menah, Merrendee, Denieontown, Glen Lee, Murragaml)a, Springfield, 
Ben Buckley, Brogan's Creek, Clandulla, Combo, Wilpinjong, Tong Bong, Tarrabran, Amaroo, Apsley, 
Buckhobble, Bulbudgerie, Coolabah, Cundumbul, Eulomogo. Eurimbla, Famham, GulguUendah, 
Mumbil, Myrangle, Nora Creek, Obley, Sandy Creek, Stuart Town, Suntop, Wame, YuUundry, Beri, 
Boomey, Bridgewater, Fashion's Mount, Lincoln, Medway, Peabody, Station Point, Store Creek, 
Arthurrille, Ponto, Burrendong, Mookerawa, liower Spieer's Creek, Dilga, Ardell. The general efficiency 
was ** Below Standard," or unsatisfactory, in the ease of the following fifteen schools: — MoiuDgulan, 
Mulyan, Newrea, Muddy Creek, Warburton, Bound Swamp, AvisfoTd, Campbell's Creek, Bimbijong, 
Kelgoola, Pinnacle Swamp, Minore, Bundemar, Ironbarks, Goolma. That a school should appear in the 
latter section is evidence of defective ability or diligence on the part of the staff, excepting of course 
cases* in which causes beyond a teacher's control have rendered satisfactory results impossible. 

From the above it appears that 217 schools, or over 99 per cent, satisfied or exceeded standard in 
general efficiency. This is an improvement of 4 per cent, on the result of the former year, and in view 
of the extent to ^hich the attendance has been effected by meailes and other epidemics must be regarded 
as very satisfactory.^

There is no material difference between the above results and those of the former year. In eight 
subjects they are higher and in eleven slightly lower. This latter circumstance is doubtless due to the 
irregularity in the attendance consequent on the prevalence of epidemics at various periods of the year, 
and does not therefore imply any deterioration in the general skill, care, and diligence of the teaching. 

The organisation in regard to details under the teachers* control and the discipline ara generally 
highly creditable. The schools in which they are not at least satisfactory are very few, and it is to be 
hoped that the advice and directions given where defects have been observed will be productive of tlie 
desired improvement. The appearance and demeanour of the pupils in nearly every school show careful 
training in habits of neatness, obedience, and good order. Many teachers show their appreciation of the 
educative effect of sightly and well-ordered suiroundings by the care and good taste thoy display in the 
improvement cf the school grounds by planting trees, forming flower beds and borders, and by other means. 

The number of teachers employed in the district at the end of the year was 274. Their

With few exceptions the teachers have during the year faithfully and successfully discharged the 
Tesponsible find honotable duties entrusted to them, and have at the same time secured the esteem of the 
residents in their respective localities. Some few complaints liave occurred for inyestigation, but excepting 
in two instances they were found to be of a trivial nature. 

The pupil teachers have displayed creditable aptitude, diligencci and usefulness^ acd have without 
exception irecei^ved favourable reports. 

The schools now in the district are sufficient for its present educational requirements. Their 
.efficiency and material condition are satbfaotory. The general results for the year indiea(9 success in 
regard to the objects for which the Department is designed.

Failing attendance has since neeersitated the closing of the Public School at Spiing Flat, and the- 
Half-time Schools at Carwell, Dabee, and Flatlands. 

Wjaldra ProTisional was converted into a Public School, Glen Lee Half-time into a Proxisional, , 
and the Ihrovisional Schools at Combo, Oakborough, and Tong Bong were reduced to Half-time. 

"Wilpinjong Public School, closed in 1890 when within the Maitland District, was reopened as a 
Half-time School in conjunction with Combo, and transferred to this district in May last. 

Springfield, formerly a Public School but closed during the past few years, was reopened as a 
Provisional S.-hool. 

The year 1898 closed with the following schools in operation : —

The following works were carried out under my superviwon : — Bepairs to Public Schools at 
Canadian Lead, Dapper, Qulgong, Guntawang, Hill End, Lawson's Creek, Leadville, McDonald Creek, 
Menah, MillsviUf, Mudg^e, and Windeyer ; and to the Provisional Schools at Birriwa, jCainbill Creek, 
Denisontown, Murragamba, and Springfield j the erection of a new school at Glen Lee; the transference 
of buildicgs, unused for eighteen months, from Tallawang to Wyaldra ; and repa'rs and additions to the 
residences at Caraboon, Pipeclay Creek, and Windeyer. 

The architect supervised the erection of a new school at Gulgong, a new room to the school and a 
residence at Hill End, a class room at Leadville, and improvements at Orudine Public School. Under . 
his supervision, also, new roofing of the scbool and geneiul repairs to the playgrounds at Mudgee >»ere 
effected. 

With the exception of one Public and three Half-time Schools all school build.ngs are in a fair 
state of repair, and suitable for educational purposes. 

Many of the wooden buildings will soon require repainting. 

Omitting Menah and Collingwood, all the Public and ProTisional Sc^.ools, and in addition ten of 
the Half-time Schools are vested in the Department. Eleven Public Schools are not provided with 
residences, and three married teachers are in charge of schools not so provided. 

The Echool accommodation has increased during the year from 3,818 to 3,8i3 leats or places, thus 
being above the requirements of the total enrolment for any quarter. The appearance of many of the 
playgrounds has been improved by the cultivation of ornamental shrubs and tree?. Practical insf ruction 
m bee-keeping is imparted by the teachers of the schools at Pipeclay Creek and Lawson's Creek. 

Enrohnent and Attendance, 

The total enrolment for the year was 4,473. Of this number, 387 were returned as pupils of more • 
than one school. A slight decrease is shown both in the enrolment and the average attendance. The- 
enrolment and the average for each qimrter of the year are shewn hereunder : —

The diminution of attendance during the Decenaber quarter was owing to the prevalence of measles. The 
compulsory clauses of the Public Instruction Act haie been duly administertd. 

School Fees, 
The amount of fees received during the year was £1^58 16s. 9id., a decrease as compared with 
1892 of £82 18s, 6d. j the number of free pupils has, however, diminished from 276 to 233.

(b) The material condition of the schools, with but few exceptions, is satisfactory. 

(e) Slight decreases are shown in the enrolment and the average attendance for the year.

11 House-to-house Schools. 

Total, 63 in full working. 

Two Public Soho<ds (Timbriebangie and Orandelbinnia), 1 Provisional (Plain Creek), and 1 
House-to-house (Dappo Springs and Mjall Camp), were closed through insufficient attendance. A 
House School has been established at Dunsbury. The ProTisiosttl School at Armatree was converted 
into a Public. The Half-time School at G-umbailie, which was worked in conjunction with the Half-time 
at Ford's Bridge, has been temporarily closed through small attendance. 

School Buildingf, 

Under the Architect's supervision commodious school buildings have been erected at Trangie and 
Angledool ; teachers* residences at Trangie and Byrock ; a weathershead at Trangie ; and additions to 
the Public School at North Bourke. The total cost was £2,376 J 49. Under my own supervision small 
schools have been erected at Minore and Dunsbury, the former a Public, at a cost of £45, and the latter 
a House School built by the residents. The new building at Minore was to replace the old one destroyed 
by fire in 1892, and that at Dunsbury to establish a new school. Bepairs of a more or less extensiye 
nature have been effected at 22 schools and 2 residraces, at a cost of £162 14s. 6d. 

The Schools that underwent repairs are — ^Ang'edool, Armatree, Baradine, Belar Creek, Beni* 
Bourke, Brewarrina, Byrock, Collie, Coonabarabran, Dubbo, Eringonia, Ford's Bridge, Gilgandra, 
Goodooga, Louth, Mundooran, Narromine, Nevertire, Tooraweenah, Warren, and Willandra. The 
teachers' residences were Byrock and Warren. Bepairs are being carried out at the Public School, 
Louth, at a cost of £28. 

The acoommoJUition at the end of 1892 showed that provision was made for 5,281 pupils, and at 
the close of the year 1893 there is sufficient space for 5,306 pupils, thus indicating a slight increase for 
the present year. 

Enrolment and Attendance^ 

The enrolment and average attendance for the year were 4,620 and 2,435*6 respectively. The 
enrolment and average attendance f<Mf each quarter were :— 

Enrolment. Average attendance. 

First quarter 3,634 2,4843 

Second quarter 8,629 2,4318 

Tliird quarter 3,627 2,505'7 

Fourth quarter 3,5^ 9,232*5 

During the last week of the second quarter the records of the Public School at Louth were 
destroyed by fire, hence no returns could be furnished from that schooL The prevalence of measles and 
diphtheria reduced the attendance considerably during the last quarter of the year. 

Ingpeetion, Instruction, and Mh'seipline, 

All the schools in operation (with the exception of Dappo IG^rings, a House School, closed through 
small attendanpe before I visited that portion of the district) received a regular inspection, three an 
ordinary, and several received incidental visits as opportunity aff(»rded. It is gratifying to state that of 
the $& schools inspteted 61 were above the standard, 2 up to, and only 3 below.

These percentages compare very favourably with those of 1892. 

The discipline maintained without apparent effort on the part of teachers at 90 per cent, of the 
schools is highly commendable; the pupils are well behaved, courteous, and respectable. At about 
10 per cent, of the schools, the order and discipline are rather lax through want of tact and firmness ; 
the pupils are unsteady, noisy in their movements, ani talkative ; but I am induced to hope an improve- 
ment will be made before my next visit. 

TeacUttg Staff,

Kepoet of the pBiNCirAi. OF THE Tbainxito School, Fobt-stbebt. 
The total enrolment of students for the year 1893 was 61. Seven of this number completed their coarse 
of training in March, thus leaving 54, who attended to the end of the year. Of these 7t three received 
permission to remain for the tmrd year honor examination, at which they acquitted themselves most 
creditably. Those in attendance at the end of the year, viz., 54, may be classified thus— 28 in the first 
year, 23 m the second, and 3 in the third year.

FiFTT-FOUB 8tudents haye this year entered the Training School ; one retired at the end of three months 
on account of ill health ; one entered after the beginning of the session, in April, by special arrangement. 

There were 23 Seniors or Second Year Students, of whom 16 were successful in matriculating. Of 
the seven who failed, two applied for and obtained permission to attend eyening lectures at the Uniyersiij, 
and the remaining fiye haye studied at the Training School for the Second Ciass certificate. 

The health of the students has been g^d on the whole ; any illness from which they may suffer is 
as a rule attributable to their four gears' work as pupil-teachers immediately befoxe entering upon further 
work at the Training School. Their general conduct has been excellent.

APPENDIX XIII. 

Repoet ok DfiAwiKa. 

Every school has been examined during the year, the results being shown in the accompanying tables. 
The same sjstem of oral and practical examination, combined with inspection of the book work of the 
year, has been pursued. The teaching of Freehand and Geometry is improving, but that of object 
drawing leaves much tj be desired, ptrtly because teachers have frequently a very imperfeot idea of the 
subject themselves, and partly because they rarely know how to teach it in the only way it can be taught — 
by j)ractieal demonstration. The work in the Iniant« Schools is certainly improving. 

Saturdaif Classes, 

I wish I could speak favourably of the work done in these classes. With some exceptions the 
pupil-teachera do not appreciate the advantages offered to them, and are, moreover, too apt to rely 
exclusively on the work done in the lesson (wliich hardly averages more than three-quarters of an hour), 
not realising the fact that these lessons are intended only i<o direct their own studies. Other causes operate 
against success. The idea is still far frjm being removed, that the power to draw objects is a natural 
gift, largely independent of the powers of reason and observation possessed by all, and this delusion 
Deing fostered by many teacliers (as well as the outside public) tends to discourage effort. The lack of 
success I do not believe to depend in any way on -my fellow-workers who are capable and thorough. 
In the hope to improve the quality of the work much time has been given every week to the correction 
and annotation of papers for the information of students, but in very few cases have I observed atiy wuh 
to profit by the assistance thus given. 

"D" Certificate. 

With a view to furnishing a test more in accordance with the conditions and methods under which 
the teachers have to work in the conduct of their own classes, I proposed, and obtained the sanction of 
the IJoard of Examiners, for the use of enlarged copies in the examinations. These will also preclude 
any unfair means being resorted to, and; the copies thus distributed should prove useful for'olasB purposes 
to the schools they find their way to. 

Examinations, 

During the past year I have revised the papers of 320 applicant pupil-teachers, 992 pupil-teachers, 
307 teachers, and 105 training students, a total of 1,7;J4. Of the first-named, 668 per cent, paned ; of 
pupil-teachers, 51*3 per cent. ; of teachers, 57*3 ]3er cent. ?

Sigh Schools, 

The death of Mr. Fothoriogham deprives the High Schools of the services of a most thorough and 
efficient teacher who has done much to raise the standard of attainment in tliese schooli. It will not be 
easy to fill his place with one in whom knowledge of tcaching-method, technical skill and disciplinary 
tact are equally present. 

At the annual inspection the work done in my presence by all classes, including that of the junior 
boys (under Mr. Wardrop) reached a most satisfactory level. 

Training Schools. 

From causes I cannot explain, the work of both seniors and juniors (males) has not been quite 
equal to the average of past years. The work of the female students shows careful and thoroogh teaching.

Appended are the results of my inspections, giving the percentage of passes in the departments

These show, I think, on their face some improvement, but any great advance in marks at this

than appears from a mere comparison of averages.

APPENDIX XIV. 
REPORT ON SINGING. 



Owing to the prevailing epidemic (the measles), great interruptions in teaching have taken place, and 
perhaps no subject suffered more than Vocal Music, yet notwithstanding this, the results are ve^ 
satisfactory ; the teaching has been more thorough, and as many classes were often much reduced in 
numbers, the remaining children have been taught to rely more on themselves. Thus I can state with 
confidence that there is a steady advance in reading at sight in our schools. More earnest attention has 
been paid to the teaching of the lower clasFcs, and this has reacted favourably upon the upper classes. 

That there is, year by year, a more vivid interest taken in Music is evidenced by the fact that 
amongst the successful candidates of the Trinity College (London) Music Ex^mintions, were many of 
the children and pupil-teachers of our schools ; a fair number also, notably from Redfern and Crown- 
street Superior Public Schools, took up Music at the University Examinations, showing thereby that some 
of our teachers are not afraid to go beyond our already high standard. The general results for both 
upper and lower classes are from fair to very fair (nearly very fair throughout), and if it be desirable to 
mention special «ohools which distinguished themselves, I would name : — Paddington (Girls* Depart- 
ment), and Fort-street (Boys' Department), which as a whole passed the best examination,

APPENDIX XV. 

BEPORT ON COOKERY. 

Thb work of this DrpartmcDt has steadily progreseei during the jear, an^ the results of the examiDaticns 
held in June and December may be regarded as rery i atisfactorj. The new t^ achers are becomirg 
accustomed to the work and its ret pansibilities, and are more methodical, energetic, and relf -reliant. Ihe 
Hcad-mist'-esses of schools also better understand the scope cf the system, and, with yery few exceptions, 
co-operate heaitily with the cookery teachers in carryirg it out. Testimony to the value of oar scheme 
of cookeiy instruction has been receiyed duiicg the year from many quuiers. We haye had visiters 
connected with the educational systems of England, the United Statr s, Canada, and Victoria, who, after 
seeing the work in operation and examining carefully its details, have concurred in saying that the cookery 
instruction given in their respective countries will not bear comparison with our scheme for thoroughness, 
efficiency, economy, and the results obtained. Yery gratifyirg and sometimes touching tributes are 
constantly beirg received from parents. A working man spared the time to come to this office from 
Blackfriars to express his gratitude for the teaching which had erabled his little daughter to provide 
wholesome economical meals for his family during the illness of the mother, and als3 to cook the more 
delicate food neccEsary for the invalid. A mother who suppoi ted her family by keeping a boarding-hou e, 
informed us that during the hard times last year the mutt have gone under but that her daughter's 
knowledge of cookery acquired in the Public School enabled her to save a cook's wages. Many more 
cases might be cited, showing the difference which has been made in the comfort and prosperity cf 
homes, by the knowledge of cookery gained in our schools. Bejond this, several of our pupils are 
known to have utilized this instruction as a means of gaining a livelihood. The value to the State of 
the diffusion throughout girls' schools of a knowledge which so tends to the healthfulness, thrift, and 
good order of homes, is, I am convinced, incomparably greater than the moderate cost of imparting it. 

Although many applications have been made for the establishment of cookery schools during the 
year it has not been found practicable to extend the teaching at present. When circumstances are more 
favourable, the claims cf these schocls nill doubtless be considered. 

Attendance, 
The total enrolment for the year was 1,739, made up as follows : — 

Public School children f. 1,435 

„ teachers 52 

Country Technical College studeiits 152 

Industrial School girls 100

Number of attendances 38,004

Sesults of Examinations, 
The schools when visited were found to be generally in a state of efficiency ; in one or two 
instances, notably in the country, the report was excellent. The inhabitants of the towns in which 
Cookery Schools were conducted spoke unanimously in their praise, and in some cases gave handsome 
prizes for the best results. Ihe practice may be collectively classed as good — ^method, good; theory, fair; 
cleanliness, very fair } economy in management, good ; state of applisoices, very fair ; discipline, very 
good; conduct of scholars, excellent. The results of the certificate examinations were considerably 
affected by the sickness prevalent during the year : the theory being the weakest point. Attendnnce at 
every demonstration is absolutely necessary to enable pupils to pass the theory examination with credit.

With the exceptions of the directress and four teachers, the instruction is given by teachers already

Department are used for the others, and, having been altered and refitted for cookery schools, no further 
expense is necessary for yean to oome. A. FAWCETT STOBT,

APPENDIX XVL 
REPORT ON NEEDLEWORK* 

The needlework executed in the Metropolitan schools, during the past jear, under the supervision of 
workmistresses, mistresses-in-charge, teachers' wives, and pupil- teachers has been good, varied, and useful, 
and will bear more than favourable comparison with that accomplished in the past three years. 

I have examined and reported upon 78 schools in and about the Metropolitan district. This 
number includes Hurlstone Training College, the High School, Castlereagh-street, and the Randwick 
Asylum. In all, 11,060 pupils were present at examination. The above numbers do not include the 
examinations of needlework I have held for public school exhibitions, or for prizes and awards at thd 
public school competitions. 

The epidemic of measles in most of the schools in the Metropolitan district for the past year 
caused a decided falling off in the numbers present at needlework examinations, but the work of the 
absentees was retained and arranged for my inspection, and proved satisfactory. 

This fact shows conclusively that the system of instruction in needlework continues to be thorough 
and effective. 

Head mistresses, in most large schools, continue to take a strong interest in this subject, and 
evince the same pleasure at the success of pupils in this, as in other branches, thereby stimulating them 
in their endeavours to excel. 

Mixed Schools. 

I cannot speak too highly of the industry and patience displayed by mistresses, teachers* wives, 
and Infant School mistresses in charge of needlework in mixed schools. Many of these schools are far 
above the standard in this subject, dressmaking having been successfully introduced among the elder 
girls. The introduction of needlework in lower classes in these mixed schools continues to be a succesi. 
Young children are amused by the coloured cotton at sewing lesson, and become ambitious and expert in 
making small model clothing. 

Pu2>il'teachers, 

I may repeat, as in my last Annual Report, that in my incidental visits to schools, it was apparent 
that the pupil-teachers were attentive to the instructions of work mistresses, anxious to excel, showed the 
same proficiency in the art of needlework and design as formerly, and that the same aptitude and industry 
continue to prevail among them. 

Dressmaking, 

This subject still receives special attention from work-mistresses, and is carried out and made very 
general throughout all Metropolitan Schools. 

A decided disadvantage in teaching this branch is the want of proper workrooms. This is a 
hindrance, as the fitting-on attracts attention, and disturbs the quiet and order necessary to sewing lesson. 

. . Method and Order, 

Since the introduction of work-aprons and needle-books, the sewing classes in most schools present 
a very artistic and orderly appearance. 

The effect and influence is very marked, as each girl cultivates independence by providing her own 
materials, and vies with her companions in neatness, and form, and in many cases, elegance of design. 

In conclusion, I am pleased to be able to report continued diligence and application to duty, on 
the part of work-mistresses under my supervision during the past year ; also, to speak highly of assistance 
accorded them by head mistresses and teachers in most Metropolitan Schools.

The school accommodation has thui been increased during the year by 7,582, at a cost of 
£49,585 138. 5d. or an average cost of about £6 lOs. 9d. per seat, as against 7,511, at a cost of 
£57,814 18s. 6d., or an arerage cost of about £7 148. per seat last year. 

Works have also been completed at the Technical Colleges at Ultimo and West Maitland, to the 
value of £632 ; and at the Technological Museum, Ultimo, £2,193 18s. 3d. were expended. 

Contracts were in progress at the end of the year to the value of £6,943 178. 4d., and accommoda- 
tion for 983 will be thus provided at an average cost of £4 12j. per seat. (Five bmldings — accom- 
modating 941 pupils, at cost £4,402 16s. 6d. ; 28 additions, &c., cost £2,082 Oi. lOd., accommodating 
42 pupils at £115 5s. 8d. ; 1 residence, cost £505 ; 1 weathershed, £54). 

The total outlay for works certified for by me during the year is £82,664 168. lid., in 1,900 
certificates, averaging about £43 10s. 2d. each, against an outlay of £125,563 5s. 2d. in 1,832 certificates, 
in 1892. 

The number of papers received and dealt with during the year is about 8,500, and the number of 
letters and reports, &c., written and despatched is 5,439. The contracts entered into numbered 323, for 
which contract documents had to be prepared, and many small works were carried out under Ministerial 
authority, for which contracts were not entered into. 

During the year 628 plans and 494 specifications were prepared. 

At the close of the year the staff consisted of 4 draftsmen, 3 junior draftsmen, 8 clerks, and 
7 clerks of works. During the year the services of one temporary draftsman and one clerk of works were 
dispensed with in carrying out a policy of retrenchment. Owing to promotions one clerk was removed 
from this office, and placed in another branch, and a junior draftsman was placed on the clerical staff at 
a small salary, so that a saving of £233 per annum is made. 

The officers serving under me have continued to do their work diligently, and in a satisfactory 
manner ; and the buildings under my charge hare been kept in repair as far as the limited funds at my 
disposal would admit.

There is a decrease of 280 applicant pupil-teachers examined as compared with 1892. This lias 
happened through the excess of the supply above the requirements of the Department. The excels 
has consisted chiefly of female applicants. 

The increased number of reports on pupil- teachers (viz., 407) over those of 1892 is due to the 
alteration by which all pupil-teachers are examined in December instead of half in June and half in 
December as heretofore. 



Digitized by VjOOQIC 



l96 Meport of the Minister ofTuhlic Instruction^ • 

The decrease of 344 in the number of teachers examined is due to several causea . In the first 
place, a large number have already qualified themselTcs for the positions thej hold. Again, most of the 
large schools now have teachers holding the requisite classification as prescribed by the regulations ; and 
further, an increasing number of small country schools are taught by ex-students who already hold a 
third or eyen second-class certificate. 

In the case of the High School candidates, the decrease of 335 is no doubt largely the result of the 
financial depression from which the Colony has so long been suffering. 

Taking the entire results, the average proficiency of those examined has reached about the same 
standard as that attained last year. 

With reference to individual subjects, it must be said that much of the History sent in is of only 
moderate worth, and that very few of the third-class candidates do well in Domestic Economy. It is a 
general complaint by the members of the Board that candidates in many cases appear not to have read 
the text-books recommended. •

APPENDIX XIX. 

BEPOBT ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS CADET FOBCE. 

The previous year closed with a total enrolment of 6,221 of all ranks, of which the Senior Cadets 
numbered 600. 

During 1893 the strength of the Senior Cadets was considerably diminished, owing to no provision 
having been made on the Estimates for their maintenance ; and at the close of the year several of these 
corps barely existed. The officers strove to keep the corps intact, with the hope that the Military Depart- 
ment would ultimately take them over ; and negotiations were accordingly entered into with a view to 
the accomplishment of this object. Major-General Hutton was seen on the matter, and expressed himself 
as beiug strongly in favour of Senior Cadet Corps, and promised that, provided money could be spared 
for the purpose, he. would recommend their maintensnce in connection with the Military Department. 
Such provision has since been made, and the affiliation of Senior Cadet Corps with certain of the partially- 
paid regiments from the 1st January, 1894, has been decided on. 

The retrenchment in the Cadet Branch has not only affected the Senior Cadets, but has also 
operated against an increase in the Cadet Force generally. 

The reduction of the Cadet Tote from £11,818 in 1892 to iSS,869 in 1893, a reduction of more 
than 50 per cent., prevented the formation of new corps, and lessened the advantages of existing ones. 
This, taken in conjunction with the inability of many parents to provide their boys with uniform, 
militated against the success of the Cadet Force as regards numbers. 

Omitting the Senior Cadets, the total enrolment for the December quarter was 4,179. 

In connection with the scheme of retrenchment, the personnel of the Cadet Staff was considerably 
altered. Major Strong, who was associated for so many years with the cadet movement as officer com- 
manding the cadets previous to the reorganisation in 1889, was called upon to retire, and the services of 
Lieutenant Hilliard and of Warrant Officers Q-reen and Thompson were dispensed with. 

Lieutenant Hilliard was subsequently selected by the military authorities to proceed to India 
with Major H. P. Airey, D.S.O. of the New South Wales Artillery Begiment, and Captain AntiU, of the 
Camden Mounted Bifles, for special training, with a view to his employment in the Military Department. 

I was appointed Officer Commanding the Public Schools Cadet Force, with the added office of 
Superintendent of School Drill, Lieut.-CoL Paul, as the result of the retrenchment, being transferred to 
another position on the Cadet Staff. 

The combining of these two offices will have the effect of connecting the cadet movement more 
closely with the drill work of the schools, of which it should be the outcome. This is the view generally 
held by teachers who interest themselves in cadet work, and is in effect one of the recommendations of 
the Committee appointed by the Minister in 18jS7 to report on the cadet question as affecting our schools. 

Boys in Public Schools, whether they are cadets or not, are taught up to a certain point precisely 
the same drill, and as the principle of teaching rifle drill to all such boys over the age of twelve years is 
embodied in our school standard of proficiency, it only renuuns for the necessary provision of arms to be 
made in order that such instruction may become general. Those boys whose parents are prepared to 
provide them with uniforms should be allowed to join the Cadet Corps, and have the privilege of 
attending parades away from their schools, and of visiting the rifle ranges for target practice and for 
prize shooting. 

To save expense the ordinary school drill with rifles might be conducted with the dummy rifle, 
while the cadets, by way of encouragement, should be supplied with an effective weapon. 

One of the principal inducements for lads to join Cadet Corps is that they are thereby afforded 
opportunities for rifle practice. For several years our cadets have from various causes been deprived of 
opportunities for systematic target practice. Moreov^er, such practice as they have had has been with the 
Smder carbine, a weapon which only the bigger boys can handle with any degree oi satisfaction. 

The purchase by the Minister of a quantity of ammunition for the Braendlin Cadet carbine has in- 
creased cadets' advantages in this respect, and as the necessary appliances have been obtained for refilling 
the empty cartridge cases, the cost of rifle shooting for our cadets can be kept within reasonable limits*

^Report of the Minister o/Fublio Instruction^ 197 

Target practice in both town and country schools was confined principaUy to the second half of 
1893, preparation for the Annual Cadet Challenge Shield Competition being the main object of the 
practice. In connection with this competition, which was held at Randwick, on Friday and Saturday, 
the 15th and 16th December, twenty-five schools sent representative teams. The shield was again won 
by the Orange Superior PubUc School team, this making the fourth consecutive win for the Orange 
School. Tamworth came second, and Dubbo third in the competition, 

A silver medal (given by Mr. Beatton, of Waverley) for the highest individual scorer was won by 
Sergeant E. J. Goodyew, of the Newtown Superior Public School Corps. 

In a subsequent match for Mr. Condy*s Champion Shield, confined to top scorers of teams engaged 
in the Schools Challenge Shield Competition, the first place was obtained by Corporal H, Heanc, of the 
Dubbo Superior PubKc School, Sergeant Goodjew, of Newtown, being second. 

This shield, which cost twelve guineas, is the gift of Mr. F. Condy, of 346, Oxford-street, Sydney. 
Mr. Condy intends to give such a shield annually for competition amon^ our cadets. 

This generous offer was made through Captain Turner, of t^e Model Public School, in a letter, in 
which Mr. Condy says :— " I am an ardent admirer of military training for the youths of our schools, 
and I am a strong advocate for that particular branch which will enable them to become good marksmen. 
To encourage our boys in rifle practice, I have much pleasure in offering an annual prize in the form of 
a champion shield for competition among the public school cadets of New South Wales only. I place no 
restrictions on the management of the competition further than — 

Ist. That each competitor must be a bond fide pupil of a public school. 

2Qd. That the best shot in each event at the annual shooting competition of public school cadets 

shall be deemed eligible to fire for the shield. 
Srd. That the shield become the property of the cadet making the highest aggregate marks in the 

shield competition. 
4th. That the winner of one shield must not compete again for such a shield." 
This is not the first occasion on which Mr. Coniy has sbown a practical intereft in the promotion of rifle 
shooting among our la'ls, and his thoughtful liberality cannot be too highly commended. In former 
meetings of this kind the Snider carbine was used. The substitution of the Braendlin cadet carbine for 
the Snider made this year's meeting more interesting, and produced better results than formerly. 
Evidence of careful coaching on the part of the teachers was very manifest, notably in the case of several 
country corps. 

Opportunities for meeting together in large numbers, as in camp years, were not afforded cadets 
in 1893. On two occasions, however, the Metropolitan cadets assembled for a special purpose, namely, 
pn the 8th July and on the 11th November. 

On the 8th July over a thousand cadets took part in a Vice-'Reg'«l review of the Military Forces, 
notwithstanding that the cadets were called out on sho'-t notice and during school vacation. On the 
11th November 500 school cadets assembled at Botany anl participated in certain field operations of the 
military forces, marching across country to Centennial Park before the close of the day. 

The cadet movement in our schools has in it all the elements of success, and admits of ready 
expansion under more favourable circumstances than have obtained of late.

APPENDIX XX. 

EEPORT ON TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR 1893, WITH ANNEXES. 

The work of the Technical Education Branch for the year 1893 was carried on under conditions very 
different from those of previous years. The necessity for retrenchment in the public expenditure led to 
the cutting down of the Technical Education Vote to little more than half that of 1892. It therefore 
became necessary to confine the field of operations within comparatively narrow limits. In pursuance 
of this policy the following action was taken : — 

{a) The Branch Schools at the under-mentioned places were closed at the beginning of the year : — 
Burwood, Esk Bank, Kogarah, Marrickville, Neutral Bay, Orange, Paddington, Parramatta, 
Plattsburg, Stockton, and Waverley j the school at Broken Hill was allowed to continue until 
the end of the first term of 1893. 

(h) The following subjects were discontinued: — Ambulance Surgery, Anatomy and Physiology, 
Home Nursing for the Sick, Telegraphy, Latin, French, and l^e-writing. 

(c) The teachers of the following subjects were allowed to continue teaching, to be remunerated 
only by the fees of the students, and to defray all expenses of lighting, cleaning, &c. : — Short- 
hand, Book-keeping, Mathematics, Caligraphy and Correspondence, Tailors* Cutting, Design, 
Cookery, Dresscutting, and Dressmaking. Several teachers decHned to accept these conditions, 
and the classes consequently lapsed. Those who continued had to raise the fees, and this step 
natiurally led to a decrease in the number of students. The Shorthand Classes connected with 
Public Schools have well nigh disappeared.

Classes and Students, 

^Hhotigh the commercial depression and financial collapse of the year have caused hondreds to 
be thrown out of employment, the technical classes that have been fully recognised have not only 
maintained the number of students attending in 1892, but in some cases show a larger attendance. 

During the year 201 classes were in operation, but 14 of these were closed at the end of the first 
term. The classes continued all through the year numbered 187, and were thus distributed : — 

Under 

salaried Teachers On fees only. TotaL 
(a) Classes in operation —

Suburban classes 552 

Classes in country towns 2,881 

Classes connected with Fubhc Schools , 647 



7,096 

Deducting from the total enrolment all cases where the students have joined two or more classes, the 
number of individual students entered on our books for the year was 5,662 ; the weekly average of 
individual students was 3,962*4 

The Cookery classes under the Directress of Cookery are not included in these returns. 

Teaching Staff, 

The retrenchment policy necessarily led to a great reduction in the staff of teachers. 

In 1892, 128 persons were employed ; now there are only 86, and 23 of these receive no remunera- 
tion but the fees of the students. 

Teachers whose classes were closed, or whose salary was withdrawn, were granted full pay for the 
months of January and February. 

The Teaching Staff consists of — 

11 Lecturers in charge of Departments. 

5 Resident Masters in charge of branch schools. 
83 Teachers. 
14 Assistant Teachers. 
23 Teachers in charge of classes without salary. 

I cannot report too favourably upon the character and conduct of all employed in the work of 
teaching. They are loyal, enthusiastically devoted to their work, and thoroughly efficient. All are men 
who have learnt their work from the practical side, and can therefore show how theory can be applied in 
practice ; they are trained workers endeavouring to teach the principles upon which the various methods 
and processes of industrial operations are based, and the application of those principles to ordinary 
workshop practice. 

Instruction, 

The prescribed course of instruction has been followed faithfully and energetically. Throughout 
all the classes a higher standard of work has been aimed at and reached. In nearly all the classes great 
use is made of lantern slides. By means of the lantern and slides diagrams that would take hours to 
sketch properly on the blackboard are placed before the pupils at a moment's notice. The advantages of 
this practice are obvious. Nearly all the slides are prepared in the College by the Operator. Daring 
1893 slides were made for the different classes as follows : — 

Electrical Engineering 74 

Mechanical Engineering 47 

Sanitary Engineering and Plumbing 59 

Building Construction 72 

Geology 36 

Mining 14 

Sheep and Wool Training 44 

Agriculture 15 

Bee-keeping , 20 

The fact that most of the teachers are actively engaged in the various trades or professions, and 
thus in close touch with all forward movements or new processes, is a decided benefit, and helps to keep 
the instruction fully abreast of modem developments..

JReport of the Minister of Public Instruction. 199 

The foUowing is a detailed account of the work done in the more importwit elaases of the Sydney 
Technical College and in the larger branch schools : — 

Agriculture, 
The enrolments of students during the session was 225, an increase of 58 upon the enrolments 
during 1892. The classes of the year were — (1) Aff^moon, for Ihe study of subjects suitable for urban 
residents, and so arranged as to be conrenient for ladies and others who cannot attend the regular course 
in evening classes ; (2) Elementary, for the study and practice of the elements of the various branches of 
agriculture ; (3) Advanced or science class (Chemistry of Agriculture), with the use of apparatus, and the 
more advanced principles and science of agriculture are taught, and the subjects are worked out by the 
students of this class. Thrse classes are carried on in the Technical College and two each at Hornsby 
and Granville, the latter under the care of Mr. Henry Lord, Assistant in the Sydney Classes. The 
enrolments were : — 

Afternoon 25 

Elementary 97 

Advanced , 94 

Hornsby 21 

Granville 48 

During the year special attention was given to the nature and methods found effective in checking 
fungus, bacteria, and other enemies of agriculture. The lessons were continuous, there were no breaks, 
and the average attendance continued high in all weathers. Twenty-five practical lessons in the field 
were given during the session, the average attendance of students being 46. Students pay their own 
fares and expenses, and I am glad to acknowledge the courtesy and consideration of the railway 
authorities, who have afforded every convenience in their power ior the various journeys made. The 
students going in such lai^e parties for actual work in the field travel for half the ordinary rates. 

During the session 54 students from these classes have entered upon land occupation in the various 
branches of grazing, farming?, or garden work. Thirty-two have left town for country life ; and, in 
many of these cases, it has been a pleasant part " of Mr. Mackay's duty to aid in the laying out of the 
land for fencing, clearing, building, draining, and cultivation purposes. The field lessons have proved 
very effective in preparing for the change from town to country life, affording as they do opportunity for 
becoming acquainted with the difficulties as well as the advantages of settlement upon the land. The 
outdoor work includes examination of soils, grasses, trees, &c., and their value for agricultural purposes : 
the rudiments of agricultural geology and practical botany, draining of the land, making and use of 
manures, ploughing, harrowing, seed sowing, planting, digging, use of implements,- European and Chinese 
gardening, grape picking, wine making, pruning of trees and vines, budding, grafting and other methods 
of propagation, working with bees, honey extracting, management of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and 
poultry, and other subjects, as irrigation, treatment of diseases of plants. 

In the advanced class much attention has been given to the compounding and chemistry of 
manures, and manuring, to chilling and freezing, the making of syrups, fruit-growing, bottling, canning 
and candying, the composition and use of spray mixtures for destroying insect and fungus pests, and 
various other operations of direct use to those eng^iged in agricultural pursuits. Many of the students 
have become quite expert in manipulations of this kind, and all take real interest ii^ the work. In 
addition to the regular class work in the College and out of doors, large numbers of soils, samples of 
water, Ac, have been analysed for students and others. The advanced students, both men and women, 
do this work far themselves. The conduct and desire for work all through the session have been very 
gratifying. Prizes were given during the session for special papers on drainage for cultivation purposes. 
Sixteen papers were sent in ; that of Hugh R. Fear, of the Hornsby Class, was awarded first prize, and has 
been printed as an exceptionally valuable contribution to draining experiences in this country. The 
other papers were so evenly good that the minor prizes were awarded to each. During the year investi- 
gations concerning plant diseases have been made in the Hornsby district, at Carlingford and Guilford, 
and information in numerous cases has been supplied when specimens were sent to the College. Lectures 
were given at Mangrove Creek, at Hornsby and Thornleigh, and similar requests have been made for 
Canley Vale and Carlingford. At the end of 1892, Mr. Meu;kay, at the special request of the sugar- 
growers in the Clarence district, was sent to investigate the diseases in the sugar cane. Mr. Mackay's 
report was presented to the Honorable John See, and copies placed in the local papers and in the Daily 
Telegraph of 11th January. Investigations made at a later date by Dr. Cobb confirmed the conclusions 
arrived at by Mr. Mackay. 

Sheep and Wool Training, 
The term commenced on the' 6th February and terminated on the 31st July. On the opening day 
13 students commenced work before mid-day, and the numbers gradually increased to 27 by the end of 
the month, and to 40 by the end of April, when applications haS to be refused for want of room. All 
through the term the accommodation was taxed to the utmost, and sreat difficulty was experienced in 
doing justice to the students, as the work is practical, and each student must have his work examined 
separately each day. The young men attending this branch may be divided into three classes : — Ist. 
Those who have a fair knowledge of wool, who have been classing on stations and are desirous to finish 
learning their trade — to these may be added sons of station overseers, managers, and station owners. 2nd. 
Young men who know a little about wool, many of whom have left clerkships to learn wool-classing, &o. 
3rd. Youths just left school and come for a term of years. The difficulties of working so many studenti 
of varied experiences can be understood.

200 'Report of the Minister ofFuhlic Instruction^ 

The class is a decided success and now well establislied, and from the present outloolc manj 
applicants will not be able to secure admifsicn for the 1894 term. The work is practical, with one 
afternoon each week deyoted to lectures and examinations. Wool-fclassing is the principal subject taught, 
whilst wool-scouring and sheep classing have their places in the daily work, and special attention is given 
to all work relating to handling wool, as in a sheep-shearing shed. Wool sales are visited, when each 
lot is inspected and valued. These branches give a wide field for instruction, and should thoroughly qualify 
an industrious student to undertake a responsible position in any branch of the trade. The examinations 
are conducted by a Board of Examiners at the end of each term, when the students who pass are awarded 
lull or provisional certificates ; the former only to those who hare had at least two years' practical 
experience on a station. The results of these examinations have far exceeded expectations as regards 
success. The successful students were engaged as classers during the late shearing season. OLhose 
students who do not hold certificates, go, during shearing, as skirters, rollers, piece sorters, working 
at a kind of labour that wool growers find great difficulty in getting properly done. The report as to the 
work of these young students is very favourable. Arrangements were made on several occasions for 
students to go to hold sl;ieep, &<j., forjudges. Secretaries and judges were ever ready and willing to give 
assistance and information about sheep. During the last sheep sales in Sydney a stud ram was presented 
t^ the Department to be used as a model for sheep instruction. He has been killed and the skin pre- 
serred, and, with the assistance of the College carpenter and engineer, has been mounted ready for the 
class, and will be a most valuable addition for sheep instruction.

This year has been one of the best as regards numbers and results since the formation of the class. 
In the first term there were 22 students on the roll, second term 28, and third term 28. The lessons 
have consisted of opening, skirting, re-roUingand classing selectors' lots, all of which have been performed 
to the entire satisfaction of the teacher. 

Art. 
The classes in the Art Department have, upon the whole, progressed not only in the number of 
students attending, but in what is of greater importance, the quality of work done ; this is specially the 
o*se in Freehand, Model and Object Drawing, and Modelling. The following is a list of the College 
classes and enrolments for the year :— 

Freehand Drawing 251 

Model and Object Drawing 130 

Perspective 32 

G-eometrical Drawing 30 

Sciography and Descriptive Geometry 14 

Modelling 53 

The third year Freehand course prescribed in the syllabus has been passed through for the 
first time in the history of the College, and it has been greatly appreciated by both students and teachere. 
The day classes tavo been well attended, and now that the students are aware that there are higher 
studies for them to work for, there is every probability that these classes will increase in numbers and in 
usefulness, and become a pronr^inent feature of the College work. The new series of plaster casts for the 
first year course in Freehand Drawing was introduced at the beginning of the year, and has been used, 
in the instruction of all the classes under the branch. These casts have been designed, modelled, and cast 
at the College, and are larger and better defined than those formerly in use. Every care has been taken 
to make the studies interesting in form and subject. The course comprises free and conventional ornament, 
foliage, flowers, and fruit modelled direct, from nature. The second year course, which includes excellent 
casts of typical Australian birds and quadrupeds, modelled from specimens in the Australian Museum, 
has been completed, and will be distributed to all the classes in time for commencing the studies of 1894. 

The Modelling Class made a bad start in point of attendance, but the number of students increased 
steadily, and in the latter half of the year the enrolment and average atte7:dance were the highest yet 
reached. The day class consists chiefly of ladies, the evening class of artists, craftsmen, and apprentices. 
Very good work has been done, and students who sent work to South Kensington have succeeded in 
gaining medals and prizes. The addition of the potter's wheel and lathe to the class apparatus has been 
of great service. The students have been enabled to perform work hitherto impossible, and have been 
furnished with means of testing and illustrating the nature and uses of our local clays. Lectures have 
been deUvered each t«rm ; they were well attended, and have proved-of great benefit. The conduct of 
the students in all the art classes has been all that could bo desired. The attention to instruction and 
application to work has been very marked. 

Architecture, 

The work of the classes in the Department of Architecture during the year has been maintained 
with the usual effort to keep it abreast with, if not ahead of, its past reputation. 

The great depression throughout Australia, and in the building trades generally — during the past 
year 60 per cent, of workmen reported to be out of employment — has, as a matter of course, prevented 
such an increase in the numbers of students as would probably otherwise have attended the instruction 
given in the various classes.

The enrolments for the year were— 

Architecture — Drawing, Design, History 59 

Building OonBtruction ••• 59 

Carpentry and Joinery, Cabinet-making , 84 

Junior do „ 78 

Bricklaying , 19 

Masonry and Stone Carving 19 

The average d«ily attendance has, however, notwithstanding the slackness in the building trade?, 
steadily increased. Tlie students since the regular course of instruction has been introduced seem to 
enter into the various branches of their work with greater enthusiasm than formerly, and it is probable 
that their numbers will gradually increase as the system now being carried out becomes more generally 
known. It may be claimed that the syllabus of the work entered upon during the session is equal to that 
of any similar department in other technical institutions. Architectural draftsmen and pupils in offices 
of architects, master builders, foremen, operative tradesmen and apprentices all take from time to time 
advantage of some of the various classes. "Whilst this wide range of students is proof of the general 
regard in which the classes are held, it should be remembered that the instruction fulfils one of its most 
important functions in teaching many of our future tradesmen both the theory and the practice of the 
calling they intend to 'pursue. Apprenticeships here in most of the trades are limited, being dis- 
countenanced by employers generally, and thereby the work of the Technical College is all the more 
advisable, if not indispensable. 

The appliances which are now at the College have raised the educative power of the institution 
to a very high standard. The proximity of the Museum and the establishment of the Library within the 
College itself are valuable elements for teaching purposes, and have been taken advantage of to a very great 
degree with doubtless good results. Visits to works of diverse character connected with the department 
have been made, and are intended to be continued in order to bring the manufactures used in building 
and their proper method of fixing before the students in a practical manner, thereby affording them an 
opportunity of information which otherwise they might have difficulty in obtaining. It is the intention 
in future to draw the whole of the department more closely together than hitherto by bringing the 
students in the classes of Masonry, Stone and Marble Carving, Bricklaying, Carpentry, and Cabinet- 
making — as well as the students in Sanitary Engineering — more in contact with the scientific and 
artistic sections of drawing and designs, together with building construction, in the belief that such an 
amalgamation will be beneficial to the students individually as well as increase the esprit de corps in the 
department as a whole. 

Industrial and Decorative Art, 

The attendance at the classes has been good and steady throughout the year, showing a gradual 
increase from the beginning of the first term ; the last four weeks of the third term have been exception- 
ally good. The classes in this department comprise House Painting, Graining, and Marbling, Sign- 
writing, Advanced Sign-writing, Decoration (elementary), and Art Decoration (advanced). 

In the Mouse Painting class the students have been taught the names and uses of the different 
brushes and materials used in painting and the mixing and use of colours in water, spirit, and oil. An 
important item in this course of instruction has been the production of tints and shades of colours 
from a given list of pigments. Staining, sizing, and varnishing have been taught in a practical manner, 
and the students have been able to produce their own stains from proper materials. The various pro- 
cesses and methods of painting have been explained to the students, and they have also worked out 
arrangements of colour in an elementary form suitable for the colouring of a house. Stencilling has been 
taught practically, and the students have produced good and efficient work in distemper colour and in 
spirit colour. 

Graining and MarlUng Class. — This is an advanced class of the foregoing subject, or it can be 
taken separately, as many that join the class are engaged in the painting trade during the day, but have 
no opportunity of practising a higher branch in their business. Other students come for improvemenii 
in their work. Independent of its trade value, this subject enables the student to educate hand and eye 
at the same time. The students have been first taught the elementary forms to be found in various 
-woods and marbles ; the materials, colours, and methods of execution have been thoroughly explained as 
they advanced. The workmanship shown by the students in this class has been above the average 
in quality. 

Sign-Writing Class, — The course of instruction given in this class comprises the formation of 
letters and alphabets of the most approved characters, ^ot only to the student eng^aged in sign-writing, 
but to the lithographer, carver, draftsman, or any craft where letters are used it will be of great value. 
The students have been first taught the drafting of letters with chalk on a blackboard ; the alphabets 
iised have been specially arrang^, and the letters divided into square, angle, combination, and curve. 
VFlien sufficiently advanced the pupils have been taught the use of the brush, and the drawing continued 
with it ; colour has then been introduced, and various given methods and combinations produced by the 
students in a practical manner on cardboard, &c. The use of gold on glass has been taught, and the 
difficulties of workmanship explained, and very creditable specimens of letter and ornament have been 
produced. The whole of the work executed by the students in this class has been above the average, 
and in two or three instances beyond anything yet attempted by them.

202 JReport of the Minister of jPublie Imtrudion. 

Art Decoration Class. — Under this heading a system of instrnction hts been given of great value 
in various crafts and trades. The students have been taught to draw in a bold, free manner with char- 
coal, and the use of the- brush in the production of ornamental designs has been encouraged from the 
commencement of the course. A complete system of iodustrial design has been taught, consisting of 
adapting a given scroll or irregular ornament to the purposes of a comerpiece, break, panel, pilaster, 
border, or other required ornament ; and the transferring of it to properly prepared grounds has been 
practically worked out by the students. The more advanced students have also executed practically a 
series of ornament in proper flat colours as it would actually be done in the workshop, the series consisted 
of flat and relieved oruament both in monochrome and in colours. A Theoretical course has also been 
given explaining the use of colour in ornament and the different processes and treatment of oil colour, 
spirit colour, and distemper colour, &c. The whole of the work done in this class has been up to the 
standard of past years, and some of the students have shown particular dexterity of hand in the produc- 
tion and execution of ornament. 

Appliances and Apparatus. — The present appliances and apparatus for teaching purposes are in 
good working: order, but are insufficient for the number of students attending the classes, and more 
apparatus in the shape of models and diagrams is needed. It would be better if colour lessons could 
be given by daylight, as it is rather a difficult matter to mix and match colours by gas-light. Day classes 
in Applied Decorative Art will probably be established at no distant date ; the colour lessons can then be 
transferred to them with great advantage to the students. The students still continue to express their 
satisfaction with the coiu^e of instruction given in these classes, and regret the loss of lessons if circum- 
stances compel them to leave the College during the terms. 

The whole course of instruction given in this department is education bearing on trade, more than 
a purely trade education ; the idea being to place in the hands of the student sufficient information which 
with practical dexterity will enable him to thoroughly understand all that is going on around him in hid 
own particular trade or vocation, and by the knowledge of the different materials, tools, methods, and 
processes to help himself and produce work original both in thought and execution. 

Chemistry. 

The Chemistry classes may be said to have fairly started in the permanent laboratory only at the 
beginning of this year. The attendances have been considerably interfered with in consequence of the 
financial troubles of the year. The reason of this is that a number of students attend the Chemistry 
classes for the sake of general education, without any idea of using it in their business ; many of them 
are employed in banks and similar institutions, and during half the second and all the third terms they 
were occupied in the evenings with their own work. The conduct of the students has been excellent, and 
those who have attended regularly have done pood work. Of the students attending the laboratory 
during the day for quantitative analysis and metallurgy, three left at the end of the first term, two being 
ready to take situations and one to pursue his studies in England. Three students have attended for a 
short time, each to learn the process for testing tallow. This is a comparatively simple process, but 
others have wished to learn in a week or two how to make elaborate analyses such as woidd take years of 
training, and these have had to be refused. The stocks of apparatus and re-agents have been kept up 
and are in good order ; the latter is effected more easily now than formerly, the laboratory being well 
ventilated and kept clean without much difficulty. Several visitors from England have expressed them- 
selves as higlily pleased with the general arrangementi* of the laboratory, and they were persons qualified 
to judge of them. The great temporary depression in everything, but especially in mining, has rendered 
it difficult for ex-students, however well qualified, to obtain employment at present. A number of 
students now occupy important positions on mines, sugar plantations, &c., in the various Australian 
colonies, and one reports that he is doing well at Washington, U.S. A. 

Mechanical ^Engineering. 

Although business connected with the iron trades has been almost dead during the year, as many 
as 70 per cent, of the workmen being out of emplojment, the clasces of this department have maintained 
an attendance equal to the best of any previous year, as the following return of the enrolments will 
show : — 

Applied Mechanics 35 Pattern-making , 18 

Mechanical Drawing 89 Blacksmithing 81 

Fitting and Turning ', 99 Iron-founding 13 

Boiler-making 32 Carriage-building , 20 

The students, with very few exceptions, belong to the iron trades. They have been very attentive 
to instruction, and have conducted themselves in an exemplary manner, not one instance of unruly 
conduct having been reported. The following is a detailed account of the work of each class : — 

Applied Meohanict.— 'The pupils of this class are studious, well-educated, and of an age to 
appreciate the instruction. Besides passing through the courses of lectures prescribed in the calendar, 
they have been taken to inspect works such as the North Shore engine building, the water works, the 
Middle Harbour suspension bridge, and also the engine-rooms of the Orient Line steamers. By the 
kindness of the Engineering Association they have also been enabled to join in the excursions of that 
body. Those students who have availed themselves of this privilege have learned much, not onlj 6rom 
what they saw, but also from the discussions of experienced engineers and their remarks upon matters of 
novelty and interest.

Yarioas experiments as to the strength, of materials hare been made daring each term, but when 
the new testing machine i8 available for use— as it will be in the coarse of a few weeks — mora important 
and more delicate tests will be made. The information acquired in this way will be yerj seryioeable to 
the students, especially to those who are studying with a view of qualifying themselves for construction 
work. 

Mechanical Drawing. — ^In order to raise the proficiency of the students of these classes special 
attention has been paid to the freehand sketching of various parts of machines, then taking dimensions, 
and from the sketch making the working drawing. This is a most useful addition to the course of 
instraction, for, though numbers of engineers can make a good freehand drawing that they can understand 
themselves, many are unable to execute a properly-dimensioned sketch for the draftsman. During the 
year new copies of a superior kind have been supplied, and have been regarded as a great boon to teachers 
and students. Eminent engineers to whom these copies have been shown ha?e praised them in the 
highest terms. 

Fitting and Taming. — Though the enrolment of this class \\ lower than it was last year, the 
attendance is higher. More students have attended for two or three evenings per week than formerly, 
and more have completed the year's course. During the last term it was not uncommon to find 75 per 
cent, of the students present. The accommodation has been folly taxed, and the whole of the machinery 
kept in constant use. Indeed the time is fast approaching when the necessities of the class will render 
the supply of additional machines imperative. The first year students have gone through a thorough 
practical training in all hand tools used in engineering, first learning to use the hammer, chipping with 
cros«-cat and flat chisels, and filing flat surfaces. Then they were taken to the vyce, and received 
practical lessons in fitting, such as fitting brasses in plummer blocks, feathers or sunk keys in shafts, 
reversing links or quadrants, cutting key ways by hand, and making numerous parts of engine gear, which 
they are not trusted with in their daily shop work. These students are also making four pairs of com- 
pound engines of 6 horse-power each. The second year students are made thoroughly conversant with 
the structure and working of planing, shaping, slotting, milling and boring machines, and all kinds of 
lathes used in engineering workshops. They have received practical lessons in cutting teeth in wheels and 
pinions ; milling joints, square and hexagonal spindles ; slotting key ways in wheels, connecting rod ends 
in jaws, crank webs ; boring out with cutter bar and cutter. It very frequently happens that pupils 
have a very good knowledge of certain machines, but have not the slightest idea of setting out their work. 
This is the result of the necessarily partial training of apprentices in the workshops, where the aim mast ^ 
be to employ every man and boy, so as to bring most profit to the employer. Screw-cutting, right and 
left, is a special feature of the second year work. The development, construction, and uses of various 
kinds of lathes are discussed in minute detail, so that the students may gain a perfect insight into these 
most important workshop tools. The instruction is both theoretical and practical. The rules lor 
calculating the required number of teeth in change wheels are very carefully explained and exemplified. 
The students are made to understand the different proportion of lever or dead weight safety valves, and 
section of steel for spiral spring safety valves. 

During the winter months visits were paid on Saturday afternoons to large establishments, as 
Mort's Dock, Sydney Gas Works, Crown-street Pumping Station, and also to large ocean steamers. The 
engineers in charge placed all possible faciUties in the way of students acquiring information about the 
machinery, so that these outings have been both pleasant and profitable. The following specimens of 
students' work are on view in the workshop : — Built crank shafts, screws, diamond thread, connecting 
rods, cylinders, wheels, and pinions. 

Pattern-making. — Though this class is comparatively small, the attendance for the year is the best 
yet reached. The work done has been of a varied character. The Iron-moulding Class made numerous 
requests for patterns, the castings from which were supplied to theFittinar and Turning and Boiler-making 
Classes. The patterns included pulleys, moulding-boxes, blocks on surface plates, core-boards and core- 
boxes, and a number of small articles required in moulding. There are also in a very forward state 
patterns for a compound launch engine. 

Iron Founding. — This class has now been in operation for over a year, and has turned out good 
work of green sand, dry sand, and loam castings, comprising screw propellers, pumps, worms, puUeys, 
sheaves, &c. The appliances are rather limited, and it has been necessary to borrow some tools. Facing 
sand, loam, and core sand have been given. It is hoped that when the loam mill, parts of which have 
been cast by the students, is completed, we shall be able to mix our own sands and loam, and have the 
opportunity of teaching a class of work hitherto untouched. Donations of patterns have been made by 
Messrs. 0-. and C. Hoskins, and Q-. Ashcroft & Co. for the use of the class. The course of instruction 
will be extended in 1894, so as to embrace ^rass founding, and the use of aluminium as applied to 
oast-iron. 

Boiler-maJcing, — ^The enrolment of this class is the best recorded. This is very gratifying when 
the state of trade is considered. The instruction has been extensive and thorough. By the kindness of 
the Atlas Engineering Co., who presented an old marine boiler to the College, opportunity has been 
afforded of showing the different methods of repairing damaged or defective boUers. 

JBlacksmithing. — ^This class has been fairly attended. Many of the students are not blacksmiths, 

but have taken up the work so as to complete their engineering course. Work done in this class has 

' now passed through the hands of the fitter and turner ; it consists of joints, valve spindles, ball stanchions, 

&c. The workshop occupied by the blacksmiths and boilermakers has suffered from defective ventilation, 

but this will be remedied before the next term..

204 Bejpart of the Minister of Public Imtructum. 

Carriage Building, — ^This class was pooriy attended at the beginning of the year, a number of the 
best students baring obtained situations away from Sydney. These were lost to the class, but their success 
induced others to join so that in the second and third terms, there were quite as many students as the 
class-room can accommodate. A complete and high class of work has been gone through. Lectures have 
been given regularly each term on tbe following and kindred subjects : — Timbers suitable for carriage 
buildmg ; their relative advantages and defects as to durability, strength, and suitableness for paintine 
and general finish ; use of springs for pleasure carriages or merchi^dise waggons ; wheels and wheel 
making ; distribution of loads and distribution of draughts on two- and four-wheeled vehicles ; buggy 
suspension on English and American principles ; carriage design, proportioning heights, lengths and 
widths of shafts for various size of horse ; general appointment and finishing of carriages, drawings to 
scale, and of full size, of all important parts and of complete vehicles have been prepared in the class, 
and then the parts represented have been made. 

JEhctrical 'Engineering and Physios^ 

Changes in the teaching staff have interfered with the class work. Forty lectures were given 
during the year on each of the following subjects : — Elementary Electrical Engineering, Advanced 
Electrical Engineering, Electricity and Magnetism (Physics) ; and in addition a laboratory class with 18 
lessons of two hours each was held in connection with the Electrical Engineering classes. 

In the Elementary Electrical Engineering class the subjects taken up were : — The fundamental 
laws of Electricity and Magnetism, design, construction, and use of measuring instrument«, dynamos, arc 
and incandescent lamps, accumulators, conductors, &c., distribution of electricity for lighting pinrposes, 
&c., accompanied by experimental proofs of fundamental laws, testing, &c., in the laboratory. 

The work of the Advanced Electrical Engineering class was devoted generally to principles, design, 
laws of and construction of electro-motors for various purposes, electric railways, overhead and under- 
ground construction, storage traction, &c. The laboratory course, instituted only at the beginning of the 
third term, was the same for Elementary and Advanced classes. 

The work of the Physics class consisted of lectures and experimental proof of the physical laws of 
Electricity and Magnetism. 

This department "wiU be re-modelled, and placed on a permanent and satisfactory basis before the 
work is resumed. 

Geology and Mineralogy, 

The attendance at the beginning of the session was small comparatively, but increased considerably 
during the second term. A number of students hav^ attended the classes for a few months for special 
purposes, and there has been no way of recording their work by examination. Principally those who 
work in this way are young men who desire to engage in mining, and gaining the particular knowledge 
they require go away to different mining fields : generally the information required is how to recognise in 
the field all the more common metals and their associated minerals, and how to work them. Amongst 
those who have left the classes in this way some have gone to Queensland and Western Australia, others 
have been content to apply their acquired knowledge to the finding and working of mineral deposits in 
New South Wales. 

Practical geological work has been carried on every alternate Saturday afternoon in different 
localities in the vicinity of Sydney, and a discovery made by Mr. Dunstan of an inexhaustible bed of 
fossils near Manly [see Royal Society's Proceedings, 1893], will, I hope, partly remove from the minds of 
students and others the idea that the geological features of Sydney are uninteresting from a paleontological 
point of view. There have been numerous inquiries from miners and others concerning minerals and 
mining matters generally, and Mr. Dunstan has always been very pleased to give any assistance in his 
power in this direction. 

In the proposed arrangements as to the working of the School of Mines, the work of the Technical 
College and its branches is distinctly recognised. 

The Board appointed to report on the establishn^ent of a School of Mines in Sydney reported as 
fallows : — 

" We recognise the facts — (1) that there is a demand for a class of managers who do not need and 
who would not avail themselves of the higher instruction afforded by the University, and (2) that some 
of those who might desire to obtain a degree in mining engineering might not be able to devote 3 years to 
attending lectures and courses of practical instruction at the University. To meet the former of these 
cases we would suggest that the Technical Branch of the Department of Public Instruction provide in 
Sydney and such country centres as may be possible a course of instruction and issue certificates of com- 
petency as mining managers to students who had attended jihe course, successfully passed the prescribed 
examinations, and produced proof of having for a period of at least two years been employed in a mine. 
That the course of instruction for a certificate of competency as mining manager be : — 
Primary subjects ; Geology, Mineralogy, Mining. 

Subsidiary subjects; Elementaiy Chemistry, Elementary Mathematics, Elementary Physics, Ele- 
mentary Electricity and Magnetism, Elementary Mechanics, Plan-drawing." 

The Senate of the University agreed to the following proposition recommended by the Board and 
approved by the Minister of Mines :— 

** That any student who produces a certificate from the Technical Branch of having passed the 
e x amination for the first or second year's course, or for any subject comprised in such course, be exempted 
from attending lectures or passing the prescribed examination at the University for such subject as the

Beport of the Mnister of Fublic InstruetioH. 205 

case may be. Troyided that the Senate, through its Examiners, Professors, or Teachers of subjects 
required for a degree of mining at the Uniyersitj, be afforded the means of ascertaining that the 
standard of proficiency in such subjects at the Technical Branch of the Department of Public Instruction 
is equal to the standard at the IJniTersitj, or in other words, that the certificate, -whether for a year or a 
subject, is equivalent to a pass at the Uniyersity in such year or subject. 

That students frum the Technical Branch be allowed to substitute a second modem language for 
a classical language at such entrance examination.'* 

The effect of these arrangements will be to bring the Technical College into harmony with the 
tJmyersity, and ta ayoid needless duplication of work. 

Sanitary JEngineering^ 

Notwithstanding the yerr bad times all over the colonies during the year, which of necessity 
specially affected the class to which the students mostly belong, it is gratifying to be enabled to report 
continued progress in the classes of this department, and none the less satisfactory to be able to report 
the increasing recognition of the yalue and public utility of its work coming from yddely separated parts 
of the Colony. 

The students entered on the rolls in the yarious classes total for the year 296. The attendances 
haye been 7,752, giving an average weekly attendance of nearly 185. These figures are exclasive of a 
further attendance of 1^ at a series of sanitary lectures given to the Plumbing Classes at Newcastle and 
West Maitland. These figures show an interest extremely satisfactory considering the very trying 
conditions which have obtained during the period. 

Sanitary JEngineering and Architectural Sanitation. — Good progress has been made by the 
students. During the past session the second year's course has been overtaken, and the lecturer has 
every reason to be satisfied with the attention and intelligeoce displayed by students. Several of the 
most advanced of the sanitary plumbing students have entered the Ist year Sanitary Engineering Class, 
and the grounding they received in the less advanced class has enabled them to follow the more difficult 
and varied work embraced in sanitary engineering. This progress and desire to advance is the more 
satisfactory when it is considered that at the time some of the students first joined the sanitary plumbing 
class, about three years ago, they were utterly unacquainted with even the elements of plumbing 
principles or theory. 

During the forthcoming session the 3rd year's course will be initiated. In order to assist students 
as far as possible, it is proposed to treat in a general way of the use of the level and theodolite in 
engineering surveying, as opportunity offers during the session ; but this will not be teaching surveying 
and levelling as it should be taught, and it is intended to be regarded in that light. 

Principles and Theory of Sanitary and general Plumbing. — ^Tho greatly increased attendance at 
this class during the past session has been most satisfactory, and proves clearly the importance now being 
attached by plumbers themselves to knowledge of this kind. Modem legislation, and the advance of 
public opinion in the direction of recognising and enforcing the proper observance of sanitary principles 
in plumbers' work, has created a necessity and demand for a class of workmen far above the mere 
rule-of -thumb operative, skilled handicraftsman though he often was. The licenses to do plumbing 
work now required almost without exception in all the leading cities throughout the civilised world, 
which can usually be obtained only after proof of knowledge and ability, not only as to workmanship, 
but as to methods and arrangements, furnish sufficient reason why all plumbing students who look 
before them are careful to make this work an important part of their curriculum. 

Practical Plumbing Class, — This class has maintained a very large attendance all through the 
year, so much so that there has not been sufficient accommodation for the efficicDt instmction of the 
students. Arrangements are now in progress that will result in improving the ventilation of the work- 
shop, give more room to the students, and afford better facilities for teaching aod for practice. The work 
done shows a marked improvement on that of last year. The increased attention given to roof work, 
such as covering ornamental finials and dome roofs, is a departure in the right direction. This work has 
been carried out according to drawings and designs specially prepared in the drawiug class, and it is 
proposed to extend this class of work during 1894. The system introduced in 1892 of re-rolling the oldi 
lead has enabled the teacher to proceed with this high-class work. It could not be attempted before 
because of the great cost of lead, sometimes over £20 per ton. Now no matter what the price is the 
cost to the department is only £5 per ton. The lead casting table supplied during the year has been of 
great service, both from an instructional and economical point of view. 

The Sanitary and Practical Plumbing Classes established in Newcastle and "West Maitland have 
done excellent work during the two terms of the session since they have been initiated. The five lectures 
given there during the latter part of the session were well attended and attentively listened to, and the 
students, who are mostly men in business for themselves, are evidently looking ahead and realising the 
altered conditions now obtaining in sanitary plumbing matters. 

JExaminations for Diplomas, Certificates, and Licenses. — This branch of the work of the Depart- 
ment has greatly increased, and applications for examination are now being received from t-uch 
distant and widely separated districts as Orange, Dubbo, Windsor, Parkes, and Jerilderie. In addition 
to the examinations for master plumbers' diplomas, qualif jing for the Metropolitan and also the Hunter 
River District Water Supply and Sewerage Boards' licenses, examinations for certifica'cs as competent 
drainers, and also for the laying on of water supply, have been added as regular monthly examioations, 
the sanitary engineering department " pass certificate " being required to obtain a license to do either

class of work in tbe district under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Board. The locaL authorities 
throughout the Colony baying charge of waterworks are also now desired by the Chief Engineer for 
Harbours and Birers to insist on the College certificate of competency as the preliminary to the granting 
of a license to lay on water. Since the initiation of these examinations nearly 100 applicants haye been 
examined. At the beginning of the year application was made by the Metropolitan Board for the 
examinaition by this department of candidates for the position of Inspector of sanitary plumbing. This 
was agreed to, and after examination three candidates were recommended for appointment, one of whom 
was appointed at once, another at a later period, as the increased work warranted, and the third stands 
first on the list for the next opening. Early in the year this department was applied to to nominate a 
suitable man as Chief Inspector of Sanitary Plumbing under the Hunter Biyer District Board. This 
nomination was made in the person of the holder of an "Honors " diploma as master plumber obtained 
after examination here. The appointment was forthwith made, and is giying complete satisfaction to all 
concerned. These examinations are conducted by a Board consisting of the Lecturer in Sanitary 
Engineering, the Lecturer in Architecture, and the Teacher of Practicfd Plumbing, one of the College 
clerical staff acting as Secretary. From what is already stated, it will be evident how rapidly this branch 
of the department is extending, and it is at the ^ame time beiiig increasingly recognised and respected. 

General Work, — During the past year a number of special reports haye been maoe on the 
sanitary state of water from tanks in a number of Public Schools ; on the gas-lighting and gas-usage at 
the Technical College and Technological Museum and the West Maitland Techni(^ School. The recom- 
mendations made and adopted haye effected a large saying in gas bills. With the assistance of the 
students in the Sanitary Engineering classes tests haye also been made as to the air in eeyeral of the 
class-rooms at the College. This important work will be continued next session. 

Sanitary Sxhibit at the Technological Museum, — A special sanitary exhibit has been arranged in 
the new Technological Museum. This was fully described and fayourably commented on in the Sydney 
Daily Telegraph of 26th August. The object of this exhibit is purely educational, and it is arranged 
chiefly for the purpose of class-work. The general public haye, howeyer, taken considerable interest in 
the exhibit, particularly as regards the ornamental lead work shown from the Practical Plumbing classes. 
The hearty thanks of the College are due to the leading sanitary-ware manufacturers of the city who so 
kindly presented samples of their goods for the purpose of completing the desired exhibit, and also to the 
members of the Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage and to their Engineer for supplying 
the skilled labour necessary to put the yarious samples together. 

Students, — The conduct of the students has been in eyery way satisfactory, and as to the general 
progress made the marked and unprecedented sucicess attained by a number of the sanitary and practical 
plumbing students in the last London G-uilds Examination, where they obtained the highest honors that 
body has to bestow — a distinction neyer before obtained by this department — affords gratifying eyidence 
of increasingly good work done. 

lAthography and Fhoto-IAtJiograjphy, 

The first portion of the year was taken up with the teaching of a new process of printing from 
zinc ; the preparation of the plates, transferring, and printing being thoroughly taught. As zinc is now 
■a. yery good substitute for stone, the information derived by the students will be of great yalue in the 
near future. 

Much time has also been deyoted to the manufacture of colour, the students being now well 
yersed in the knowledge of making red, yellow, blue, lake, &c., from chemicals ; and as tbis is nerer 
shown to apprentices in private factories, these experiments have proved highly entertaining and useful. 
Much success has also been achieved in making permanent show-cards on tin. Samples of a very good 
class of this kind of work can be seen in the class-rooms, the drawing, transferring, and varnishing being 
the work of the students. In order to demonstrate the working of colours, a calender has been printed ; 
the drawing and design are by a young student named Holland j the printing and every detail in connec- 
tion with same being the work of the students. 

In photography, platino-type, blue-printing process, and photo-lithography have been thoroughly 
gone into, and the samples of work are highly satisfactory. The conduct of the students has been excep- 
tionally good, and although bad times have told against regular attendances, the future promises wclL 

Mathematics, 

The mathematical classes were conducted on the same lines as last year. The salary for conduct- 
ing the classes was withdrawn in the general retrenchment at the beginning of the year» and the classes 
have since been carried on without any assistance from the State. In order to obtain fair remuneration 
for the work done, the teacher increased the fees. Tliis proved unwise, and caused many of the junior 
students to leave, or to join one class where they had formerly joined two. It is, therefore, proposed 
next term to revert to the old scale of fees in order, if possible, to incarease the attendance and extend 
the usefulness of the elasses. 

Bathtibst. 

At the commencement of the present session several classes which had met in the previous year 
were discontinued. Typewriting and French were entirely given up, while the teachers of Drawing and 
Shorthand were allowed the use of a room for their respective classes, but had to depend for remuneration 
on the fees received from students. The fees were of course raised, and there was a considorable fiBdling

oS. in the attendance. Owinf? to* these chaogee the total number of etadents attending the school has 
not been so large as last year. In those classes, howeyer, which have been carried on as heretofore the 
enroln\ent has been well malDtained, the total being 357, distributed as follows : — 

Agriculture ....^ 13 Mathematics 48 

Book-keeping 42 Mioeralogy 14 

Botany 15 Physics — Senior 15 

Chemistry — Theory 18 „ Junior 156 

„ Practice 7 Mechanics 14 

Geology 25 

Most of these numbers compare fayourably with those of last year, there being a marked improvement 
in Geology and Agriculture. • 

A brief allusion to the work of each claf s may be made : 

Mechanics and Physics. — The syUabus of the Department of Applied Physics is divided into three 
courses: A, Medianics; B, Heat, light, and Sound; 0, Electricity and Magnetism. In Mechanics 
there has been a fair class throughout the year, but several students being connected with the railway 
have been unable to attend reguiu'ly. The classes for Sound, Light, ai^ Heat have also been well 
attended, and this was the branch taken for the Junior Physics class, attended by boys and girls from the 
Superior Public School. The attention and int^ligence shown by these junior students have been very 
grsUifying. Electricity and Magnetism could only be treated briefly, but a foundation has been laid for 
future work. 

Chemistry. — Chemistry has been a good class for most of the year, but apprehension of the 
principles of the science is rather slow among the youogcr pupils. 

Mineralogy. — In order to render this class more generally useful, the subject was treated during 
the first term with a view to mineral prospecting. Several practical miners joined and admitted the value 
of, the class, but, for the most part, were unable to continue their attendance. .A complete set of crystal 
models is much wanted in this class, in order to teach crystallography to the more advanced students. 

Qeology. — Geology commenced with a small class, but considerably increased later in the year ; 
but the students who joined then were unable to complete the course sufficiently to sit for examination. 

Mathematics and JBook-keepitiy, — These clatses have, as usual, been well attended; and the 
omission of the examination in Book-keeping was regretted by many. 

Agriculture and Botany are generally taken up by the same students, as students of Agriculture 
are able to understand the principles of that subject much better when tbey have a good knowledge of 
the structure and growth of plants, such as they get at the Botany class, than when they confine their 
attention to Agriciilture alone. 

The scientific apparatus and appliances for teaching are for the most part in good condition. 
Some of the physical apparatus needs renewing, and some additional apparatus is desirable. As in 
former years, the conduct of the students has beea uniformly good, and most have attended with great 
regularity, and worked well. During the year Mr. A. T. Atkins, a diligent student of the school, and 
last year teacher of Typewriting, died of rapid consumption. He was a young man of great promise, 
and very popular with his fellow students, who, to mark their sense of his worth, placed a neat marble 
tablet to his memory in the school, and also erected a headstone in the Bathurst cemetery. This is only 
one instance of many which might be cited of the uniform good fellowship and kindly feeling which 
exists among the students. Former students often visit, and all retain an attachment to the school. 

Branch Technological Museum, — The attendance of visitors has been very good, and far in excess 
of any previous year. No less than 28,203 persons visited it in 1893 ; and the average for several 
months was over 120 a day. A variety of interesting and vtUnable donations have been received during 
the year, including a collection of 250 eggs of native birds and a fine specimen of the English brown 
trout, reared in Clear Creek, near Bathurst. Attempts have been made to acclimatise this fish in the 
district, and it is evident that this has now been done. 

The Bathurst Scientific Society ^ which is held in connection with the Technical School, has lately 
revived, and some interesting papers have been read. 

The usual work of naming specimens for miners and others has been carried on at the School and 
Museum. As an instance of the utility of this work, it may be mentioned that a party of men were 
prevented from wasting time and money on a fruitless search for tin by having the specimens they 
relied upon identified as magnetite. 

There appears to be every prospect of a successful future for Technical Education in Bathurst. 

GOTTLBITHK. 

The Goulbum Technical School has succeeded in maintaining a fair number of well -attended 
classes in spite of the prevailing depression, and the occurrence of several epidemics of sickness which 
have induced many to relinquish extra efforts in the shape of voluntary studies and extra expenditure to 
carry on the same. The decrease in a gen and way amounts to about 10 per cent, on last year's 
operations. Particulars of the various classes in operation are as follows : — 

Chemistry. — The subject continues the most popular and important. Two lessons per week are 
given — one on "Wednesday evenings and the other on Saturday mornings — which latter is attended by 
several Public School |>eachers of the dista^ict. Good work has been done in Practical Chemistry, and 
several students have attained a fair proficiency in analysis. ■

Phytidf. — ^The classes in Electrioilj and ■ Magnetism and Sound, Heat> and Light have suffered 
most during the year, the total enrolment for both divisions being 9. The Physics apparatus is often of 
great use in illustrating the allied subject. Chemistry. 

Qeologif. — Students of both sexes take great interest in this subject. Constant use is made of the 
specimens in the school and museum ; and excursions hare been made into the surrounding district for 
specimens and examples of geological structure. The advanced students have appreciated the fine 
petrological microscope which has been supplied during the year. The enlarged photographs of New 
South Wales geological scenery and the new geological map are valuable aids to the study. 

Mineralogy. — The class suffered severely through the loss of several promising students who 
removed from the district, and unfortunately no representative attended the annual examination in this 
subject. The specimens available for teaching purposes and for the Museum cases are constantly being 
increased by local donations. 

Assaying. — One student worked for two terms at this subject, and faif progress waa made. 
Business called him away from G-oulbum during the third term. 

Art. — The various art subjects are taught concurrently j ten hours* instraction being devoted t<^ 
them* A fair number represented the school in each subject at the annual examinations. 

Carpentry, — ^This class continues rery small, and is composed of lads who have left the Public 
Schools, and attend the evening class to carry on their studies. 

Public School Classes. — (1.) Chemistry, — This class was inaugurated at the beginning of this year. 
The District Inspector (D. J. Cooper, Esq., M.A.) takes great interest in it, also the three principal 
teachers of the Goulburn Superior Schools. The enrolments have been 146. Two lessons per week 
have been given on Mondays. The pupils showed great intelligence and interest in the experiments. 
They prepared carefully-written and illustrated note-books. The examination proved that about 60 per 
cent, of them had gained a fair grasp of the subject. Two of the pupils passed in Chemistry at the 
University Junior Examinations. 

(2.) Mnnual Training. — There were 46 enrolments. The classes were held on four afternoons per 
week, 8 boys attending at a time. The tools and workshop have been kept in good order, and the boys 
have worked well and attended vrith fair regularity. The accommodation for all classes is good ; the 
apparatus and teaching appliances are in excellent condition, and sufficient for present purposes. 

Technological Museum. — ^This continues to be a most popular institution. The average number of 
visitors per day is 46, the total number of visitors for the year being 14,267. The visitors hare, in 
several instances, included classes from the public and private schools in charge of their respective 
teachers. 

Geanville. 

Though the commercial and industrial troubles have seriously afEeoted the attendance of students 
at the classes, the individual enrolment shows that the influence of the tuition is more widely spread than 
on any previous year. The number of individual students enrolled this joar is 110 ; the number enrolled 
at G-ranville and Parramatta last year was 177, showing an apparent decrease of 67 individuals ; when it 
is taken into account, however, that the following classes — phonography (Parramatta and Granville) and 
freehand drawing and chemistry (Parramatta) which were in existence last year, and have not been held 
this year, had an enrolment of 89, it will be seen that there is a net increase of 22 individuals enrolled in 
the subjects taught at present. The class in model drawing which was removed from Parramatta to 
Granville at the beginnmg of the year has a total enrolment of 31 as compared with 17 last year. 

The conduct of the students has been most exemplary, and in some cases both the quantity and 
quality of work done have been all that could be desired ; in other cases the student has had to leave the 
district in search of employment just as his interest in bis studies was beginning to develop. The 
accommodation has been admirably suited to the requirements of the classes meeting in the large, well- 
lighted, and ventilated hall of the School of Arts. One of the students presented to the school a model 
of a cone which he made showing the conic sections ; this has proved very useful in teaching geometrical 
drawing. The new set of mechanical drawings will help very much in the teaching of that subject 

The exhibition of students' work held at the beginning of the year was largely attended, and had 
much influence on the enrolment. The following were the prizes aiven during this year : — The Mayor's 
prize, for the best student in engineering, presented by Mr, J. R. Palmer, Mayor of Granville ; prize for 
best year's work in the class-room, presented by Mr. T. Irons ; prize for general proficiency, presented 
by Mr. William Robison. 

During the year there were several students* excursions on Saturday afternoons. Amongst others 
the following places were visited:— The Sydney Hydraulic Power Co.'s Pumping Station, Barling 
Harbour ; the Observatory ; Mr. Shorter's exhibition of art (Doulton) pottery ; The AustraUan Roller 
Flour Mills, Clyde j The Orient S.S. ** Ophir"; Crown-street Pumping Station ; The North Sydney Cable 
Tramway and Suspension Bridge \ the Parramatta Water Works and the Pennant Hills Quarry. In all 
cases the students took great interest in what they saw, and the Resident Teacher was generally able to 
illustrate the teaching of the class-room practically by something that was seen. 

Chemistry, — These classes opened the year with a roll of 26 students, 20 being enrolled for the 
first year's course and 6 for that of the second year. The students for both these classes consist of men 
and youths connected with the iron industries of the neighbourhood, of agricultural students, and of 
public school teachers. An encouraging feature in the year's enrolment is that of 4 lady students* 
shovring that this subject) which is by no means a simple one, is beginning to awaken an interest for its

bearing on the relations of science (o the conditions of every day life. The uncertainty and irregularity 
of employment in GranTille, as elsewhere, has made it- difficult for some students and many would*be 
students to pay the small fees demanded. In spite of this dra-wback, however, the numbers have been 
fairly well kept up, and the year's course was closed with a roll of 24 students attending. Eighty-four 
lessons have been given during the year. The course for the first year consists of lessons on the laws of 
matter, including the physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases, the atomic theory, the nature of 
acids, salts, and bases, and tlie properties and combinations of the non-metallic elements. Special 
attention has been given to the principles which underlie the industrial arts, as for instance the 
destructive distillation of coal, the manufacture of sulphuric acid, carbonate of soda, bleaching powder, 
bromine, iodine, glass, porcelain, cement, and artificial manures. Ihe course for the second year 
consists of lessons on the economic metals, the minerals in which they naturally occur, the modes of 
extracting them from their ores, the various compounds which, they form with other elements, and the 
alloys which they form with one another ; lessons on the use of the spectroscope and on the principles 
of electrolysis. The lessons for both first and second year have been illustrated whenever possible by 
lecture table experiments, and by mineral specimens and alloys. 

Agriculture. — ^The elementary class started with 21 students on the opening night, and increased 
to 30 by the end of the year. The advanced class commenced with 8 students, and afterwards increased 
to 18, thus making 48 students as compared with 34 for last year. The course of instruction was the 
same as in the Sydney classes, with slight modifications in favour of subjects of local interest or of 
special interest to the students. At the invitation of the Lecturer in Agriculture, the Granville students 
accompanied the Sydney students in 25 outings last year to gardens, orchards, bee-farms, &c. At one of 
these outings an unbroken colt was placed at the disposal of the teacher, and students were shown how 
to break in a horse for the saddle, harness, or plough. As an illustration of the practical value of these 
classes, it may be mentioned that 7 of the students at present in the classes, and who had no bees before 
joining, have now respectively 3, 5, 8, 17, and 50 hives. Several students have gone into poultry raising 
on a fairly large scale, and 4 others have during the year taken up respectively 4, 5, 10, and 20 acres of 
land for orchard and cultivation purposes. The average age of the 48 students is 30. The teacher 
visited most of the gardens, bees, poultry, and orchards of the students, and was very pleased with the 
intelligent way in which they have carried out the teachings given in the class-rooms. Special attention 
has been paid by these students to drainage and manuring, subjects which are, unfortunately, too often 
neglected or misunderstood. 

Newcastle. 

Despite the great falling off in mining operations, and the consequent dullness in all kinds of trade 
and general distress that has marked the year 1893, and which in severity has had no parallel in any 
part of the Colony, the classes, though they have naturally suffered in enrolments and attendance, have 
not done so to the extent that might have been expected. 

The enrolments for the district were : — 

Chemistry 11 Mathematics 69 

Metallurgy 12 Applied Mechanics 12 

Geology 12 Mechanical Drawing ).. 43 

Mineralogy t5 Plumbing 42 

Boiler-making : 15 Shorthand 209 

Steam and the Steam-eng'ne 14 Book-keeping 24 

Art 86 Dress-cutting 49 

Coal-mining 88 

The changing of class-rooms from the School of Arts to rooms over the Telegraph Office involved 
some losaof time to the science classes, owing to the packing and unpacking and rearrangement of the 
apparatus, &c. In addition to the evening lessons, there have been day lessons during the last two 
terms, mostly in metallurgy. The students were instructed in the analysis of coal and in the assay of 
gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, arsenic, &c., and some hundreds of assays have been made. Miners are 
more likely to turn their attention to this class and to mineralogy in the future, recognising the unstable 
condition of their present employment, and the usefulness of a knowledge of the subjects connected with 
metal mining. The accommodation for these classes is rather limited, but this will be remedied at an 
early date. 

Art Classes, — These classes suffer from the non-central position of the room for art work, but 
have been well attended all through the year. The new set of casts proved most interesting and 
instructive. Nearly all were studied and executed on good paper and on a large scale. 

Coal-mining Classes. — These have been held at Newcastle, Hamilton, Merewether, Minmi, and 
Wallsend. There has been such uncertainty of employment, and so many persons have been cavilled 
out, and have had to leave the district in eearch of work, that the steady attendance at class-work has 
shown the appreciation by the miners of the advantages to be derived from the instruction. The Teacher 
has endeavoured to make the matter and method of his lessons sufficiently attractive to overcome the 
natural repugnance to hard mental application after a day's toil. No better proof of the beneficial 
influence. of technical instruction in the district could be adduced than the recent formation of an associa- 
tion called the Northern Association of Mining Students, which now numbers over 50 members. Meetings 
are reguhirly held for the reading' and discussion of papers treating of coal- mining and kindred subjects.

210 Beport of the Minister of Fublio ImtrweHtm, 

Soiler-nu^inff. -^T\ie boiler-making class has done fEood work. In ihe absence of a workshop, the 
instTaci»on must necessarilj be confined to theory. The following subjects haye been studied : — Template 
working, riveting percentage of joints, bursting and safe- working pressures, collapsing pressure of pbun 
and corrugated furnaces, staying flat surfaces, strength of material^ safety yalyes. It is probttble that a 
workshop will be provided during 1894. 

Plumbing Clan, — ^l%is is the only new class formed at Newcastle during the year. It oommenoed 
work with the second term. The students, numbering 42, were mostly master plumbers and journeymen 
who had to qualify themselyes for licenses under the Hunter Biver Water and Sewerage Board. The 
standard of work required by the Board was much in advance of the plumbing work formerly earned oat 
in the district. To give the students a thorough knovdedge of their craft the plan of woric was so laid 
out 88 to cover the first year of apprenticeship, skilful manipulation at each step being insisted upon before 
the student was allowed to advance. The lessons were so arranged that each student had one hour at 
lead work, followed by one hour's practice at joint-wiping. During the course, Mr. J. L. Bruce, Lectozer 
in Sanitary Engineering, Sydney Technical College, delivered five lectures, coyering a range of subjects 
dealing with Sanitary Plumbing. 

Bfr. Gtardner, a member of the Hunter Biver Board, also delivered &fe lectures on hydraulics, &c. 
The practical work of this class and of that at Maitland is very creditable. 

Steam and Steam Engine. — This class is attended by young m«i serving their apprenticeships in 
Engineering workshops. The accommodation is sufficient, but modds are greatly needed. These vnll be 
supplied in due course from the foundry of the Sydney College. 

Mechanical Drawing, — Tvro claMCs are held, one at Newcastie, the other at Hinmi. The attend* 
ance at the latter class has fallen off in consequence of the unsettled state of Uie mining indus^ at that 
place. The Newcastle class has been much inconvenienced by the limited accommodation. Though two 
rooms haye been occupied, the students were too crowded to do satisfactory work. This will be remedied 
before the class meets again. The dasses in Mathematics, Bhortiiand, and Seientifie Dress-cutting hare 
been continued on fees only and haye fairly maintained their numbers, bat the Book-keeping dais has 
not been a success. 

West Maitkakd. 

Notwithstanding the disastrous floods of March, which intensified the general industrial depression 
the work of this branch school shows an improvement. The enrolments in the classes under the supers 
vision of the Resident Master for the year were :— 

Art Classes „ ....„ 773

Book-keeping <.... 22 

Tlie classes formerly accommodated in Freechurch-street were removed to the High-street building 
in October. The accommodation, so far as floor space is concerned, is a great improvement on that 
formerly provided, but the building is not. suitable for any but workshop classes. The art and other 
classes have to be placed on the top floor, where the heat during the summer months is tropical, and the 
noise from the trades classes interferes seriously with the teaching, and is a source of discomfort to the 
students. It is homd that the much-needed class rooms will be built during the coming year. Art 
classes are held at East and West Maitland, Singleton, Morpeth, Hinton, Seaham, Clarence Town, and 
Raymond Terrace ; they are well attended, and have made satisfactory progress. The increased and im- 
proyed accommodation now provided for the Modelling class has had the effect of greatly improving the 
work as well as the number of students. 

In Architectural Drawing i^e instruction given included the construction and use of scales, the 
drawing to scale of plans, elevations and sections, and the preparation of complete drawings of residences, 
&c. Lectures in Building Construction and History of Ajchitecture, as laid down in the syllabus, hfkve 
been given regularly. Some difficidty has been experienced in illustrating these lectures properly ; the 
teacher has had to depend upon blackboard sketches and rough lantern slides made by hiinself , but aotion 
is being taken with a view to supplying j^roper appliances. 

In the Mechanical Drawing class instruction was giyen in scale drawing, the preparation of plans 
and elevations, and sections of parts of machinery ; in some instances plans were prepared by students of 
work required by themselves. The more advanced students took up the mounting and finishing off in 
colours of complete drawings. Towards the end of the year pieces of machinery cast at the Sydney 
CoUege were receiyed ; these virill be of great service to the class. 

The Practical Plumbing class was formed in August, bench accommodation being provided for 16 
students. The work has been eminently siiccesslul, and there are upwards of 20 apfdicants for yaoancies 
at the benches. 

The Woodworking classes were greatly interfered with by the alterations to the new prennses, and 
by the disastrous floods, which not only put a stop to all work for some time, but caused many students 
and intending students to leave the district. Towards the end of the year the classes reoorered their 
normal condition in numbers and efficiency*

Beport of the Minister ofFublic Instruction. 211 

The Manual Trmnifig dassei are verr popular ; there are always applicants waitiDg for Tacanoios. 

The JBook'heepiug and jDrtfft-CK^tn^* classes have done yery good work. 

The West Maitland Technical School is highly appreciated in the district, and secures a large 
amount of popular support. The Hunter Biver Agricultural and Horticulttiral Association offered at 
their proposed exhibitaon in May last a large schedule of prizes for the adyancement of technical work. 
Unfortunately the floods came in March, and compelled the Association to abandon the exhibition. 

The schedule haa, hotrerer, been re-introduced this year. 

The local Technological Mnaeum fortunately escaped flood water, but the rain damaged the walls. 
There has been a fiur list of doaationsi, and eeyeral gentlemen haye promised collections of exhibits on 
their return from Chicago. 

ASKIDALE AND TTbALLA.. 

The attendance at the Armidale and Uralla drawing classes has been satbfactory, the pupils being 
yeiy studious and diligent, doing a large amount of home work in addition to the usual class work. 
GDhis home work showed a marked improyement upon the same class of work executed during 1892. The 
attendance has been well maintained m spile of a great deal of sickness and want of employment. The 
number of candidates for examination was quite equal to that of last year, and eyen b^ter results haye 
been obtained. A number of young tradesmen haye joined the classes, and are yery pleased with what 
they haye aequired, and express a certainty of a number of theur fellow workmen joining next term, as 
what they learn is of great aanstaac* in th^ eyeryday work. Many Public School teachers ayail them- 
fl^yee of the benefits to be deriyed from attending the classes, all who attend speaking highly of the 
advantages gained. There is likely to be a large increase in the number of pqpils next year. 

Newtowk. 

The classes are in a ferj soimd condition, notwithstanding the dropping of seyeral subjects ; the 
enrolments for the year xvaohed 147. A great amount of praise is due to many of the influential 
business men of Newtown for the enthnsiastio interest which tney take in matters relating to the welfare 
of the school, and it is no doubt due to them, as well as to the efforts of the teachers, that the classes are 
80 well known and made use of. A pleMing feature in these classes is the fact that most of the students 
are young men employed in the woiMiops of the district, who directly require in their daily work the 
information imparted at t^ Teehnieal School. A gentleman who is an employer of sereral of the studento 
expressed himself conyinoed that the woric done by the students increased in yalue in the most marked 
manner after a little instruction at the classes. A matter that may be mentioned is the establishment 
among the students of an asiooistion condneted after the fashion of old scientific societies, and it has been 
the practice to prepare papers for reading and discussion at the meetings. 

Pbtbesham. 

The matbemat'cal classes were discontinued at the beginning of the year. The subjects now taken 
up are Freehand, Model and Medianical Drawing, Practical Plane, and Solid Geometry, Perspectire, 
Scientific Dresseutting, and Shorthand. The teachers of the two last-named subjects are paid by tlie 
fees only. Nearly 200 students haye passed through the school during the year, and the results at the 
yearly examinations show that the teaching has been efficient. 

ASHFIBLD. 

The accommodation is sufficient for present requirements, and the stock of appliances is ample. 
The conduct and attendances of students haye been yery good, while the condition of the classes generally 
throughout the year has been satisfactory. The students comprise lithographic artists, painters, decorators, 

S* rn writers, modellers* and teadiers. The subjects taught are Freehand and Model Drawing and 
odelling. The Shorthand and Caligraphy and Correspondence classes continue to be held at this school 
for fees only, and are in each case fairly well attended. 

Makual TsAiNiNa IN Public Schools. 

This work, one of the most important connected with Technical Education, has in its limited 
sphere of action been prosecuted with yigour and effici^icy ; but it has not been practicable to add to the 
number of classes. Seyen workshops haye been proyided. The one at Fort-street serves both the students 
at the Training School and the pupils of the Model School ; those at Sossex-street, Crown-street, Black* 
friars, and East Maitland High School are used only by the pupils of the schools to which they are 
respectirely attached; the one at West Maitland is attended by pupils of three schools; while that at 
Goulbum meets the requirements of the four schools of that city. I hope that before long workshops 
will be placed at Bathurst and Newcas^e. The instruction giyen in these classes aims at helping the 
pupil to interpret working drawings ccmrectly, to obtain skill in handling tools, to be able ta work to 
^xaet measurements, and to set out wcMrk in the best possible way ; it does not pretend to teach a trade, 
but to deyelop general manual dexterity. The mental and moral benefits derived by youths from 
Manual Training are great. Professor J. M. Ordway, speaking of the observed influence of Manual

Training in a Higli School at New Orleans, says, — " The indications are, that it tends to awaken and 
keep up the interest of the pupils in all the school exercises ; for hy it they acquire juster ideas of the 
retation between books and actual things. They see that the school is a place for real earnest work. 
They gain the habit of close attention in the exact performance of tasks. They find that they hare the 
power to do something of themselves, and hence are likely to acquire a manly self-reliance. They do not 
lose time that ought to be devoted to intellectual studies, for it is found that without exertion they 
accomplish quite as much as they did before hand- work was introduced. They gain by alternating hand- 
work with pure brain work, and thus resting without being idle. The surplus activity of youth, which is 
too prone to vent itself in mischief, is allowed to find scope in useful and pleasant employment." 

I note with very great pleasure that mott of the students of the Training School take praise- 
worthy interest in their workshop practice and have turned out some highly creditable specimens of 
work. A complete set of models, illustrating the course of instruction* has been prepared by Mr. Powrie, 
the Instructor at Fort-street, and placed in the Technological Museum for the information of the public. 

Examinations. 

The examination results of the Technical classes for the year 1893 are very satisfactory. The 
total number of candidates examined was 2,157« and of these no less than 1,575, or 73 per cent., passed. 
This is the highest percentage of passes that has yet been reached under the Branch, and has beexi 
equalled only once under the late Board of Technical Kducation, when the standard for a pass was 33 per 
cent. ; now 50 per cent, of marks is required for a bare pass. The passes are made up as follows : — 
Honors, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade. The number of candidates examined is less by 1,176 than it was in 
1892, but this is fully accounted for by the number of classes which have been discontinued, and by the 
fact of there being no examination for classes such as Shorthand, Book-keeping, and Correspondence, 
which exist now on sufferance only. 

In addition to the standard being raised, higher work has been accomplished, and, in many 
instances, notably in Fitting and Turning, Agriculture, Modelling, and Decorative Art, the Examiners 
speak of the work executed by the students as being a distinct advance on that performed at previous 
examinations. 

In matters connected with the Public Schools the subjects taken up in 1892 were Manual Training 
and Shorthand. The latter subject now assumes very amiH proportions so far as the classes are con- 
cerned, and last year no examination was held in that subject. In Manual Training last year 320 pupik 
were examined, and but 41 &iled. It will thus be seen that the lads at school are taking hold of the 
instruction given in this subject, and profiting accordingly by it. The practical work of some classes, 
particularly that at the East Maitland High School, is reported by the Examiner to be excellent. 

Lbctubes. 

Geology and Mineralogff,^ During the year the Rev. J. Milne Curran, F.Q-.S., Lecturer in Geology 
and Mineralogy, delivered 4i lectures at various centres throughout the Colony. These lectures have 
dealt with Australian geological features, either from a purely scientific standpoint or in regard to the 
economic value of their mineral deposits. The lectures have been eminently successful, the audiences 
reaching an aggregate of 13,360 persons, or an average of over 300 at each lecture. In addition to the 
lectures, practical demonstrations and simple tests for minerals were frequently given by Mr. Curran to 
parties of working miners during his tours. In every district visited numerous samples of minerals and 
rocks were brought for determination, and no pains were spared to furnish accurate information. That 
Mr. Currants work is appreciated is evidenced by the very laudatory notices of his lectures that appear 
in the local Press at all places visited, and by the strenuous efforts made to get a visit from him j in fact, 
the applications are so numerous that a large proportion could not be complied with in 1893, but had to 
stand over to be arranged for this year. 

The following extracts from newspapers will give some idea of the usefulness of Mr. Curran's 
lectures : — 

InvereU Times, 13 May, 1893. — " After hearing Mr. Curran, we are satisfied that the country gets 
good value for that portion of the Public Instruction Funds devoted to paying for his lectures. In every 
district visited by this gentleman, we imagine that a stimulus must be given to the study of practical 
geology. His advice should be of great value in helping to ascertain the exact location of mineral 
deposits, and should save much useless labour." 

Tenterfield Star, 1 July, 1893. — ** One of the pleasantest methods of conveying instruction is that 
furnished by means of the lecture platfoim. The Education Department, recognising this, have made a 
specialty of sending hither and thither throughout the land specialists from the Technical College who, 
by their free public lectures, have done wonders in the way of spreading a knowledge of the latest 
developments of pure science as applied to industrial purauits among a naturally intelligent and receptive 
people. Several of these lecturers have visited Tenterfield, and have done more or less good, but none 
have been so popular here as the eminent geologist, the Rev. J. M. Curran." 

Oundagai Times, 25 August, 1893. — *' The lectures have been far and away the most successful 
ever heard of here, and the Department arc carrying out a real public good by the visits of the Rev. 
Mr. Curran."

Australian Star, 28 December* 1893. — " Becentlj the BeT. Milne Curran examined tie Swamp 
Oak district, and deliTered a lecture upon the results of his survey. The information given by the 
lecturer, an unusually accomplished authority, was not satisfactory to those who previously had faith in 
the auriferous richness of the district. He pointed out that if they did not obtain good gold at a depth 
of 50 feet, they would not obtain it by deeper sinking ; and in addition he showed the miners that what 
they were taking for granite was merely porphyry. This is an instructive instance of the value of expert 
opinion upon auriferous country." 

Mr. Curran*s report, Annex A, furnishes details of his work. 

Beb Cultijeb. 

Mr. Gale delivered 77 public lectures upon matters connected with the profitable keeping 
of bees to an aggregate attendance of over 9,000, the audiences varyinj? from 25 to 450 according 
to the populousness of the locality. Great and increasing interest is taken in the subject. The applications 
now in hand for Mr. Gale's services, will, if complied with, occupy nearly the whole of the current year. 
Since this work has been taken up by the Department, many families have entered upon bee-keeping, 
either as a means of gaining a livelihood, or of supplementing a limited income. In very many instances 
the venture has been successful, the net profits sometimes reaching £400 per annum. The bee-keeping 
industry in the Colony has now become of sufiicicnt importance to be made the subject of a special 
paragraph in the 1893 edition of Coghlan's Wealth and Progress of N.S.W. The labours of Mr. Gale 
have no doubt largely contributed to the development of this industry. It may not be out of place to 
point out that in his report for 1890, Mr. Gale cited a number of openings for profitable industry in such 
lines as preparing cut flowers for sale, the cultivation of plants and flowers for medicinal and other 
purposes. These hints appear to have borne fruit. A bay in the Technological Museum has been fitted 
up with apparatus used in Apiculture and models of bees, &c. The exhibits have proved of great service 
to many visitors, and attract a good deal of attention.

In order to place the library fully at the disposal of the students, I hal the room set apart for the 
purpose fitted with shelving and tables, and the books and periodicals arranged ready for use. At present 
the library is open from 11 a.n?. to 4'30 p.m., and from 6*30 to 8 p.m. The students have tjot been slow 
to take advantage of this opportunity of acquiring useful information, the average number visiting each 
day being 40. Application has been made to open at 6 in the evening and leep open till 9 ; if practi- 
cable this will be done. The number of books in the library now reaches 2,800, and a very great number 
of magazines, periodicals, &c., not bound, can alco be had access to. The following list of periodical?,

great value, and is veithout a rival in the southern hemisphere : —

Initiatory steps have been taken with the view of forming small technical libraries at the larger 
Branch Schools. Works of a technical character are usually very expensive and quite out of the reach of 
the means of artisans. The use of those books will enable them to supplement the instruction given in 
the class-room, and such instruction will, on the other ban*', make the information contained in tha 
hooka clearly understood.

The Technological Museum at Sydney was practically closed for three months for the purpose of 
moving the exhibits mm the old building in the Domain to the new Museum at Ultimo. 

The attendance at the West Maitland Museum suffered severely from the terrible floods that 
devastated that town and district in March, and by the almost impassable state of the roads for a 
lengthened period. 

The Newcastle Museum hss been removed from the School of Arts ball to the Old Court-house 
building, which affords much greater facilities for displaying the exhibits. This change has had a very 
beneficul effect upon the attendance, for although the Museum was dosed for six weeks to admit of the 
removal, cleaning, and re-arranging of the exhibits, the number of visitors was nearly double that of 1892. 

The Technical College a^ the Technical Museum at Sydney are now located on the same block of 
ground, and the arrangement is certainly of great advantage to both students and teacher ji, who, I believe, 
fully appreciate it. The Museum was formally opened by His Excellency the Governor on the 4th 
August in the presence of the Minister and a large number of visitors. The collections are now classified 
and displayed in a manner which was impossible in the old building, and I am glad to see that an 
increasing number of our Public School teachers contribute specimens to it, and use it as a means for 
obtaining information. We are now able to adequately display selected specimens of work of students in 
the Technical College and Branch Schools, and the exlubition of colonial wools and timbers (each 
numbering several thousands) is worthy of these staple pioduets. 

Details of the Museum work will bo found in the report of the Curator, Annex B. 

EXPENDITUBE. 

The amount expended on technical education durinflt the year was £18,008 lis. Id. The cost to 
the State is at the rate of £3 8s. 6d. for each student enrolled, a slight reduction on that for 1892, and 
the lowest yet reached. 

The fees paid by the students amounted to £3,424 16s. 6d. Of this sum £2411 Is. 6d. waa paid 
by the students of the Sydney Technical College, and £1,313 15s. by the stuctonts of the Brnich 
Schools. The amount of fees paid is less than that of the previous year by £960 18s. 3d., a falling off of 
£321 15s. 6d. at the College and £639 2s. 9d. at the Branches. Considering the number of classes and 
branch schools closed the fees received are very satisfactory. 

The expenditure on account of the Technological Museums and branches was £6,605 23. 9d. Of 
this amount £1,928 15s. 6d. paid out of the vote for 1892 was chiefly in connection with the new bmlding . 

The sum of £487 Is. 2d. was paid for water and sewerage rates.

BSFOBT 07 THE LeCTUBEB IN GsOLOaY AND MlNEBiLOGY. 

DuBiNa the year I haye deliyered'44 lectures at various centres through the Colony. These lectures 
dealt with Australian Geological features, either from a purely scientific standpoint, or in regard to the 
economic value of their mineral deposits. It is very satisfactory to hare to state that the lectures have 
bean well attended by the public in every instance. I venture to point to the fact that the Departmental 
correspondence with various public bodies, shows that my efforts have been duly appreciated. More 
applications for lectures have been received than could possibly be entertained. Besides formal lectures, 
lessons and demonstrations for simple tests for minerals were giren to parties of working miners very 
often during country tours. 

ScUmUfUs Work. 

In erery district visited numerous samples of minerals and rocks are brought for determination. 
This work was particularly heavy during the past year, and no pain? were spared to give accurate 
information as far as possible. I have continued to collect mineral specimens suitable for the 
Technological Museum. These, together with photographs of remarkable geological features, will 
commend themselves to your approvaL 

Original Research. 

I have read one paper on the " Geology of the Bingera Diamond Field " to the Boyal Society. 
Excepting the determination of minerals and rocks, and assistance given to practical miners, this is tbe 
only original research I have been engaged upon. The want of an assistant to undertake ordinary routine 
manipulation, &c., makes any attempt in original research well nigh impossible.

Bepobt op Cttbatob. 

Technological Museum, 14 February, 1894. 
The attendance for the year has been 100,480, a decrease of 43,773 as compared with the previous year. 
This is accounted for by the fact that the Museum was closed for the removal of exhibits to the new 
building from 4ti May to 3rd August inclusive ; also, pmr to the former date the Museum was some- 
what upset, and the attendance of visitors suffered in consequence. It it reasonable to suppose that when 
collections have been moved a mile-and-a-half from their former situation, it takes the public some little 
time to realize tho change, but I do not think that the Museum will shortly show any falling off in the. 
attendance. 

The new Museum building was formally opened to the public by His Excellency the Governor on 
the 4th August last, in the presence of the Minister of Public Instruction, some officers of the Depart- 
ment, and a large number of people. Following is a biief description of the building, in the words of 
Mr. W. E. Kemp, the architect :— " The style sel-jcted for this building corregponds with that of the

adjoining Technical College, and is an attempt to adapt, tbe spirit of Bomanetque ta the necessities and 
materials of the present day. The form of the building being necessarily, for oonyenience, simple, no 
picturesque breaking up of outline could be attempted. The materials used principally being brick, 
effect has been sought by the harmony of colour j and this, by the use of such bncks as are easily obtain- 
able, with a sparing use of stone to relieve the larger masses of darker and brighter colour of the brick- 
TTork, has it is thought, produced a simple and not unpleasing structure, which, though plain and massive, 
escapes the fault of heaviness. The building is 183 feet long by 50 feet wide, and has a basement storey 
under one half its length, three whole storeys 15 feet high, and an attic storey in the roof. Each floor 
is divided transversely into bays 16 feet wide, which, while providing separate compartments to facilitata 
the classification of the exhibits into groups, thus simplifying the Etudy by visitors of the different kinds 
of specimens, also provides an amount of wall space on the cross partitions for the exhibition of maps, 
diagrams, and other forms of exhibit not easily displayed in cases, which could not be obtained otherwise. 
The amount of floor space provided on each floor is 9,150 square feet, and of wall space 6,000 feet, making 
in all 27,450 feet of floor space and 18,000 feet of wall space, exclusive of the basement, which can be 
used for heavy and rough exhibits, and the attic, which will be used for workrooms and for packing or 
unpacking of specimens received or despatched. There is a projecting central portion of the building* 
which contains a handsome staircase, extending from basement to attic, and six largo rooms for offices for 
tlie curator and his assistants. The cost of the building has been £20,000." I have been able to classify 
the exhibits in a way that has been previously impossible, and the contents of the old crowded building 
and the congeeted store show now to advantage, and cause surprise to most people, who had no idea of 
the extent and value of our collections.

Hebblewhite & Co., George-street, Sydney— Bee-keeping appliances; Mr. G. Tall, 133, Bathurst-street, 
Sydney — A valuable collection of locks and saws made by donor. A raluable collection of economic 
botany specimens has been received from the Royal Gardens at Kew ; thu is one of the most important 
donations of the year. An extensive collection of products of Dutch agriculture, from the Koloniaal 
Museum, Haarlem, Holland. 

Principal Purchases, 

Specimens from New Hebrides, shells, dresses, weapons, &c, 

A collection of New Zealand timbers. 

Cbev. G. Jervis, Turin, Italy, a oollecticm including wood carvings, &c., educational geological 
series, botanical illustrations, toys for instructing the blind and deaf-mutes, &o. 

Wrought iron forgings in imitation of native flowers, from Mr. Alfred Amos, 133, Cooper-street, 
Waterloo. 

The necessity ft. r reduced expenditure has made itself felt in the acquisition of specimens. 

In addition to the abore extensive collections hafe been made for the Museum by the Rev. J. 
Milne Corran, Geological Lecturer ; by Mr. W. Bauerlen, Botanical Collector ; and by Mr. W. W. 
Froggatt, Geological and Sconomic Rntomological Collector. 

Wool Section, 

Mr. Alfred Hawkes worth. Lecturer on Sheep and Wool in the Technical College, who is in charge 
of the Wool Secfion in the Museum, reports : — "The year 1893 has been the busiest of all since the 
establishment of the Wool Section twelve years ago. It has been greatly augmented by 585 fleeces and 
samples, many of great prize winners in different parts of the Colonies, and Europe, mating a grand total 
of over 7,500 wool specimens in all. During the past year a number of faulty wools have been sent, such 
as yolk, stained, and green, &c., the donors being anxious to know the causes of these defects. The 
removal from the old Museum building to the new premises entailed a great amount of labour, but the 
advantages now presented through having the whole collection rearranged, each Colony having separate 
courts, the samples being placed into divisions according to the districts in which they were grown, are 
very great. By these divisions the specimens become more instructive, showing the effects of climate 
and pasturage upon the different types. The floor space is adequate for some time to come, but more 
cases are required, many excellent samples being stowed away in boxes. Yaluable collections have been 
sent to Canada, America, and the Bradford Chamber of Commerce in exchange, and to different 
Pastoral and Agricultural Shows in the Colony. The whole collection is in a perfect state of preservation, 
and is becoming quite historical. The advice of the Department upon sheep and wool matters is very 
frequently sought by large pastoralists, selectors, and farmers." 

Sconomic Entomology, 

One advantage of the increased accommodation afforded by the new building has been that the 
collections of economic entomology have been adequately displayed. They are under the charge of 
Mr. Froggatt, who, in the intervals of collecting, and other duties, has made great progress with them.

haying mounted sereral tbouMmd speciinens daring the year. We have colledicmt to illustrate the silk 
and lacquer industzies, phylloxera, the rarages of white ants, gall^prodaoing insects, insects isjorioas to 
timber, and so forth, the endearour being to show the life-histories of insects which work for the benefit 
of man or to his injury, and specimens of their products. Most important of all, as regards local 
industry, is the section of bees and bee-ke^ng appliances. To this section, Mr. Albert Gale, Lecturer 
in Horticulture to the Technical College, has largely contributed, and by means of his discourses in 
country districts he has been the means of iuTiting the attention of bee-keepers to the efforts the Branch 
is making on their behalf. 

Native Plants, 

The collection of fresh flowering specimens of natire plants has remained open the whole of the 
year. It no longer interferes with the other specimens, as one of the bays is exclusiyely devoted to it. 
Boxes of fresh flowers are sent long distances, and students of botany are furnished with named specimens, 
or specimens for distection, while art students are giren facilities for depicting them. 

Colonial Timbers, 

Large additions hare been made to this section dnring the year, and I haTO frequently been called 
upon to diagnose timbers, or to giro information ccmceming them. 

Samtatif Court. 

The sanitary appliances belonging to the Museum haye been arranged in <nie bi^ by themselyee. 
Mr. J. L. Bruce, the l^orer in sanitary engineering at the Technical Col^e, has undertaken the super- 
finon of this section, and has enriched it with many interesting specimens. The Water and Sewerage 
Board haye fitted up in the bay a mod^ sewerage system for a private house. I look upon this rectioB 
as one of the greatest practical interest to ebixens of any in the Museom. 

The following manufacturers have presented sanitary applianees to the Sanitary Court :— Messrs. 
Bakewell Bros., Mi^onaldtown ; Mr. Bobert Fowler, J.P., Camperdown ; Messrs. Gkodlet and Smith, 
Oeorge-street ; Messrs. Hart and Gkdlagher, Petersham ; Mr. D. Sharp, plumber, Bedfem. The Board of 
Heidth, Sydney, presented mounted photographs of a case of Variola ducreta (small-pox) at different 
stages of eruption ; also, sanitary publications. 

Public School Teachers and the Museum* 

Below is a list of the school teachers who have sent specimens to the Museum during the year. 
It is not generally known that the Bailway Commissioners have kindly granted free freight for specimens 
consigned to the Museum, to that teachers in country districts who desire to make a contribution to the 
Central or Branch Museums, or to have specimens named for the purpose of study, need not fear that 
they will be pat to any expense. We have much to learn in regard to the plants, minerals, and fauna of 
the Colony ; new species remain to be diseovere J, life-histories to be worked out, and the geogmphical 
range of many to ba defined. The Public School teachers of the Colony are well-educated, and, as ^eir 
districts are extensive with the Colony itself, they can aid in this grand work to an extent that perhaps 
few of them realise. No matter how insignificant, or of what little intrinsic value a specimen may be, 
it will be carefully reported upon. 

The students of the Training Colleges at Huristone and Fort-street have, during the past year, 
more largely drawn upon the collections to illustrate their object-lessons than usuaL I would like to see 
the profuse illustration of object-lessons even more widely extended. A large number of teachers have, 
during the vacations, paid one or more visits to the Museum, and I hope to see the number very largely 
inereued*

INSTRUCTIONS TO TEACHERS. 

The following Instructions, issued for the information and guidance of Principal Teachers of Schools 
and of Mistresses of G^irls' and Infants' Departments, are also to be acted upon, as far as they may 
apply, by Teachers generally. These instructions have equal force with the preceding Regulations. 

I. iNSTBrCTIONS BBLATINa TO PbINCIPAL TeAOHEBS OITLY. 

The Principal Teacher will keep a Teachers* Time Book, and will see that all Teachers enter 
therein the time of their arrival at and departure from school. 

2. He will report to the Inspector all Teachers absent from duty without leave, and any who aie 
habitually unpunctual. 

3. He will visit the other School Departments once a day at least, to ascertain that the Teachers 
are at their posts and are observing the Time-tables. He will see that all documents required by the 
Regulations are exhibited in their proper places. It 4s not intended that he shall arbitrarily interfere 
vrith the teaching, the discipline, or the internal management of the other Departments ; nor is he at 
liberty to remove children therefrom to his own Departmen without the sanction of the Inspector ; 
but he is empowered to decide questions relating to the general order and routine of the entire school, 
subject to appeal to higher authority. 

4. He will, with the concurrence and aid of the Heads of Departments, arrange for the regular 
cleaning of the schoolrooms, will see that the water-closets and all external premises are kept clean, and 
that the fences and gates are uninjured by the pupils. He will report promptly any damage done to 
the school buildings, as also any necessity for emptying the water-closets. If the water for the use of 
the pupils should become bad, the Inspector should be informed to that effect ; and, in dry seasons, care 
is to be taken to prevent any persons, other than the pupils or the Teacher's family, from obtaining water 
from the school tanks or wells. 

5. He will receive all letters addressed to Teachers at the School, and deliver them to the owners 
as soon as convenient. At the same time he will impress upon Teachers that having private letters 
addressed to them at the school is an inconvenient arrangement, justified only by urgent circumstances. 
Letters intended for pupils, and non-official letters addressed to Pupil-teachers, should be forwarded to 
the parents of the persons concerned. 

6. Persons visidng the School, or calling upon Teachers, should in the first instance be brought to 
the Principal Teacher. 

7. He will receive and investigate complaints from parents and others. It is expected that he will 
attentivelv consider such complaints, that he will endeavour to ascertain whether they are well founded* 
and that he will afPord the redress which their nature may require or suggest. 

8. The Principal Teacher will register all children applying for admission to the School, and will 
determine the Department for which they are fit. 

9. Under the heading in the Annual Return, " Number of Scholars on the Records,** pupils who 
have left, but who have subsequently been re-enrolled in the same school during the year, should only 
be counted once. A School with two or more Departments is to furnish but one Aimual Return, in 
which children transferred from one Department to another during the year are only to be counted once. 

II. InSTBTTCTIONS BELATINa ALIKE TO PbINCIFAL TeACHBBS AND MiSTBESSES OF DbFABT1£ENTS. 

10. He will give vigilant attention to the ventilation and temperature of the rooms, and will 
especially avoid an excessive degree of heat. At each recess the doors and windows should be opened so 
as to secure an effectual change of air. Windows should be opened, where practicable, by lowering them 
from the top ; and children must not be allowed to sit in a strong current of air. 

11. He will note the methods employed and the discipline maintained by the several Teachers 
imder his immediate supervision, and will have power to interfere whenever he may consider either 
to be defective. 

12. He will arrange his classes, if four or more, in sections, each section to contain two or three 
classes ; and will place in charge of each section an Assistant Teacher, who, when the staff admits* will 
be aided by a Pupil-teacher. 

13. For all purposes of classification and examination, the actual attendance of a pupil in days 
shall determine his half-year in class, such half-year to consist of 110 days. 

14. When a subordinate Teacher relinquishes the charge of a class or section,it should be examined 
fcy the Head of the Department in the presence of the outgoing Teacher and his successor. A record 
of the condition of the class or section, as elicited by such examination, should be entered in the Lesson 
Register, and be attested by the signatures of all the persons concerned.

15. A similar course sbould be followed with respect to the materials used by the class or section 
in charge of the outgoing Teacher. 

16. He will carehilly preserve in the School all completed records and duplicate returns, for the 
use of future Teachers. 

17. Corporal punishment must not be inflicted except by the Head of the school, or Departanent, 
or — ^under his direction and responsibility — ^by an Assistant Teacher. Pupil-teachers are, under no cir- 
cumstances, to be allowed to inflict corporal punishment. Careful attention must be paid to the Kegula* 
tion which proyides that corporal punishment "should be restricted to extreme cases." Failure or 
inability to learn is not to be regarded as an extreme case; and corporal punishment is not to be 
recognised as a proper aid to teaching. The boxing of pupils' ears and the tapping of children on the 
head are strictly forbidden, as is also the corporal punislunent of female pupils tweiye years of age and 
oyer ; and no corporal punishment may be inflicted for neglect to prepare home lessons. All cases of 
corporal punishment are to be recorded, at the time the punishment is inflicted, in the Punishment Book 
supplied to all schools by the Department. 

18. Some Lessons: — 

(a.) No home lessons or written exercises of any kind shall be given to children attending Infants' 

Schools or First Classes in other schools. 
(&.) Children in the Second Class shall hare no written exercises of any kind ; but they may be 

required to prepare lessons on Beading, Spelling, or Tables, proyided such work take up not more 

than half-an-hour each eyening. 
(c.) Children in the Third Class may be given home lessons four evenings in the week, the subjects 

being left to the discretion of the Teacher ; but each night's lessons must not take more than 

one hour to complete. 
(d.) In the case of fourth and Fifth Classes it is left to the discretion of the Teacher to give such 

home lessons as he may consider necessary. 

19. Pupils shall not be detained in School for study or for punishment during any part of the 
forenoon recess. 

20. The Teacher shall make the necessary arrangements for the proper oversight of the playground 
during recesses. It is competent for the head of a School or of a Department, the s^ifE of which contains- 
more than one Teacher, to so arrange that each half of the staff shall be relieved of playground super- 
vision during an equal portion of the recess for dinner. Principal Teachers and Mistresses of Depart- 
ments must imderfcake playground duty equally with the other Teachers. 

21. He will construct Programmes of Lessons for classes in his Department taught by Pupil- 
teachers, and will decide upon the suitableness of those framed by Assistant Teachers. His signature 
is to be attached to these documents, in evidence that they have been examined by him and have 
received his approvaL 

22. He will devote a portion of his time weekly to the instruction of each class in his Department. 
28. He will examine each class in his Depiurtment at least once a month, and will record the 

results, note the defects, and enter suggestions for their remedy in a book kept for the purpose. Such 
entries should be signed by himself and the Teacher of the class. 

24. He will be responsible for the progress of all children in his Department, and for the condi- 
tion of the Department in all other matters, excepting those points of organization for which he cannot 
reasonably be held accountable. 

25. He will devote at least one hour daily to the instruction of Pupil-teachers, and will see that 
M the prescribed subjects are duly studied by them. Suitable programmes are to be j^repared, and a 
Begister is to be kept showing (a) the time of commencing the daily lesson and the tmie at which it 
was concluded, (b) the exercise or home-lesson appomted for the day. It must be clearly imderstood 
that Mistresses of Departments are to perform a fair share of the work of instructing Pupil-teachers. 

26. He will be responsible for posting Quarterly Eetums on the last Saturday preceding the Mid- 
winter and Christmas vacations ; and, in other cases, on the last Saturday of the months of March and 
September. In country places, where no post leaves on Saturday or the preceding Friday evening, the 
Betums must be sent, without fail, by the first subsequent opportunity. 

^ 27. In making application for increased assistance, he will give attention to the following Eules, 
by which the numerical strength of Teaching Staffs is regiilated. 

In a mixed school, or in a separate Boys* or Girls* Department, having an average attendance of —
