SCHOLARSHIP REGU LATIONS.

Meeting of the Board of Edu cation.

A. SPECIAL meeting of the Board of Educa ,ion was held this afternoon to consider the proposed alterations in the scholarships egulations. There -were present: -Messrs SV. P. Moat (chairman), Luishley, V. h' Prime, J. M. Clarke, L-ike, F. J. Moss ( md J. M. Dargaville. The Board has received a series of pro josals from the Board of Governors of the grammar School with the view of futthor ng secondary education, in which thoy lubmit that the age of competitors for ieholarshipi sha'l not exceed 13 years, but he scholarships should be held till the winner ha<! attained the age of 15 years, ivhen he or she may be at liberty to com pete for the same number of scholarships ■ield for that year for two yeara longer, fhey also propose that the payment to i iirst Bcholar should not exceed £15 jer annum, except in flic cases of boys iving at a distance; and after 15 years, £30 >er annum. The governors promise to con ;inue free tnition at the Grammar Schoul ;o all scholars who have gained scholar ihips, and also to give Iree tuition to the wlders of certificates of proficiency not ex ceeding six in each year, to be continued intil the holders reach the age of fifteen rears. An objection wai raised that there vai no power to make the alterations, and ;he following statement of the case wos lent to the Honourable the Premier for h's >pinion :—" The Education Actj 1877, lection 51, empowers Board under regula ,ions to establish scholarships to be com jeted for by the pupils attending any public ichool, and also scholarships open to all ;hildren of school age. Section S3 defines ichool age to be from five to fifteen years, the Board asks you to advise whether ihere is power to exclude from competition my candidates who are pupils attending a public school whatever their age may be; iind, if fo, whether there ia power to limit ;bo age below fifteen years.—W. P. MOAT, ;hairinan." To this request the following opinion was received in reply :—" JDune liu, 15th February, 1883. lam of opinion that pupils ot any age lawfully attending public schools are competent under section 51.—Fbed. Whitaker." The Chairman having introduced the business by referring to the correspondence with the Premier, he said the main object of this meeting was to consider the number of scholarships to be offered at the end of the year. The discussion on Mr Mobs' mo tion could take place afterwards. The Secretary road his estimate re the scholarships to be offered :—lncome, £950; maintenance of open scholarships, £135 ; maintenance of distinct scholarships, and expenses of examination, £100. Mr Luke said he was prepared to move a motion on this matter. He depre cated the altering of the age of pupils entitled to compete for scholarships, fle then moved— Boys : (1) That there shall be one class for scholarships only, for pupils \ of any oge caretully attending public schools. (2) The time of scholarships shall be three years provided that the term may be extended till the holder reaches the age of 16 years, if it should expire in the ordin ary course before the holder reaches that age, provided also, that the tenure of any scholarships may be ended at any time, if the progress of the holder is not satisfactory to the Board. (3) That the allowance shall remain as at present, Giels : (1) That the allowance be at the rate of £30 a year, as at present, for girls who require to board away from home. (2) That the allowance be at the rate of £20 a year for girls who do not require to board away from home. (3) Duration of scholarships, two years. Mr Laishley seconded the motion, and directed the attention of the Board to a letter that appeared in public print signed "Parent," referring to the pernicious results of cramming youDg children. Mr Clark said that the legal opinion given by Mr Whitaker seemed to be vaguely worded. Still he took it as a negative to the question put by the Board that the Board had not the power to exclude from competition any candidates who were attending a public school. He contended that the systems of the secondaiy and primary schools should overlap. He quoted the opinion of Mr J. C. Fitch, one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools. His idea it was in the best iutsrests of those who | took scholarships or certificates, that it was necessary to lower the age bo as to allow the em?ttest toys to enter I secondary echools at an age when iit would be an advantage to them; to give them a chance of becoming 1 scholars, and eventually of entering the University. Keducing the age to 13 and arranging for a senior examination to carry I boy» on to the age of 17 would be more ad-

J vantagcous than the present system. Ho ( moved, as an amendment, " That (1) com - petitors for the District Scholarships | should not exceed thirteen years of ago. j (2) The scholarships should, in the I' first instaace, bo tenable till the holders reach the age of 15 years. On attain ing that limit of age, the holders Jof scholarships, and cf the Kduca j tion Board's certificates of proficiency I should be at liberty to compete for the tame I number of scholarships held for that year, I for two years longer. 4. That the payment to a first scholar should not exceed £15 per annum, except in the cuso cf boys whose t parents live at a distance from town. That the payment to a b>y holding a second scholarship, i.e. eat, after 15 years of age, should be, as at present, £30 per annnm. 4. ihat competitors for first' scholarships should have been attending a district school for two years previously."

Mr Laishley epoko against the amend , meiit, ami in tho course of his remarks said that Mr Whitaker's opinion was contrary :to his (VVhitakor's) owu inclinations on tho matter, uud if they anted contrary to thnt opiuion they would be doing what they knew to bo illegal. Mr Clark's remarks were consequently irrelevant. Ho apoko strongly against tho encouragement of intense application in hoys. The system of " cram " was injurious not only to the boys physically, but also eventually to other mental faculties, lie thought that boys should exhaust the standards in tho pri mary schools before being advanced to secondary schools at tho public expense.— He expressed an opinion that £30 should be the minimum sura allowed to holders of scholarships, principally on the ground that a lower sum would not induce the competi tion desirable.

Mr Moss disagreed with Mr Clark, saying that all his remarks tended to support a feeling that he feared was growing up, that it was impossible to work the primary and secondary schools together. He thought that if they could not work the primary schools with the Grammar School, ihat they should establish High Schools of their own, and apply for a portion of the Grammar School endowment for the pur pose. Mr Dargavlllc said in tho interest; of the scholars attending the primary schools he would vote for Mr Luke's motion, Hs thought the r.meudtnent moved by Mr Claris would suit the boys of the Grammar School but not the primpry school boys.

Mr Clark replied to tho arguments used by the supporters of the motion. The Chairman spoke in support of the resolution, stating that Mr Whitaker's opinion, as he read it. left no other course open. Btfore any change was made, there would need to be fresh legislation, The only alteration would be to have made all scholarships open, when they could have fixed the age at 15 years, but that would have been unfair to the district scholars.

After further remarks tho motion was carried.

Mr Moss moved:—" (1) With reference to the intimation that the governors propose limiting the number receiving freo tuitiorj, the Board fully recognise the powers vested in the governors, but beg leavo to call to their notice the provision in the trust there shall be as many freo scholars as the fuods will permit. The Board desire to remind the governors that while thoso funds have enormously increased during tho past few years, the number receiving freo tuition has remained with littlo alteration, (2) With rcfeioaco to tbo now conditions which ;ue proposed for scholarships, the Board trust that they do not indicato any intention to make tho junior or prepara tory claifoj permanent. Those classes have hitherto been rogardcrt as temporary, and only to be maintained until the other public schools or private schools of the pro vince could relieve the College Grammar School ot all lower work, and enable it to confine itself to secondary education. Tho Board submit to the Governors that if these classes become permanent, the old relation of the College Grammar School to tho other public schools will be materially changed, and it will become entirely separated from them. Its use would ;be confined to comparatively few. and it would cease to bo a public school in the tine sense of the term, or to fulfil the purposes for which it was endowed, 'lho Board are assured that tho Governors, equally with themselves, would regard snch a result as deplorable. To guard effectually against it, and to secure unity of purpose in the administration of both governing bodies, the Board consider it desirable that the uovernors of the College and Grnmmar School and the Board of .Education should bo elected by the same constituonoy. They suggest thisfoi the Governors' conjideratioß, and invite their co-operation in obtaining tho necessary Legislation to effect this salutary reform, which would place the schools in a cordial accord that nothing could permanently||dis tarb.
