NEW ZEALAND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

This Day.

Thk Institute re-assamblcd at nino o'clock this morning, the President (x\lr Henry Wcrthington) being again in tho chair, and a large number of members a.nd visitors being aDo present.

THE TRAINING 01 TEACHERS.

rjpou this subject Mr B. Hailoy (Head master Ponsonby School) read a care fully prepared J paper i-Fiom tho re ports issued by tho Education Depart ment, ho gathered that institutions for tho training of teachers had been Mtablishei at Dunedin, Christehurch, Wellington nnd Auckland ; that at the end of the year 188.1 the number of students on the books was 50 males nnd 99 females, or a total of 149 ; that tho cost of training colleges foi that year was £5,57S lis 3d, or a little over £57 per annum per head, about £25 por annum being paid to each tor maintenance money, leaving the cost of tuition ot £32 per head. From the report of the principals of the various training colleges or normal schools it would appeal that the main design was to impart a know ledge of teaching and school management, and that instruction in tho usual branches of learning wasconsidered ofseconilary import ance. InOtago, Canterbury,and Auckland, several students attended tho University classes with the object of qualifying for the higher certificates. It was a significant fact that the University was the only avenue through which these certificates can be obtained, llefore going further, let us turn to tho examiners' reports and sco if we can estimate the results of the teaching in school management Cne would natur ally expect from this state of things a very favourable account of the results from the examiners, but for the years 1883 and 1881 nothing was learnt from their reports but tho blnnder iu"s and shortcomings of the candidates. From a careful reading of the two reports, they were led to the conclusion that the fault lay in a want of knowledge and general education on tho part of the would-be teachers. Although tho reports deal with candidates outside tho Training College, wO may fairly conclude that the students of training colleges form no ex ception to the general body of candidates. What, then, waa the remedy for such an unsatisfactory state of affairs? He had endeavoured to prove:—(l) That the training colleges do not provide the means whereby its students may obtain the highest certificate. (2) That the bulk of those who were preparing for their profes sion failed to pass a satisfactory examina tion in school management became, the sub ject was beyond their attainments. The remedy that suggested itself to him was fiat school management should bo taught at the University, and that training col leges as at present constituted should be abolished. This plan would require a Professor of Education in the four principal centres of education. Putting down the expense at £4,000, they still had a saving of £4,010, which might go to increasing teachers' salaries. Maintenance money did far more harm than good. In tho matter of training colleges, we had but made a feeble attempt to imitate the Englis i system. There was nothing he desired more than to see a high and honourable profession such as theirs purged of what ono might term the pauper element, which consisted in bolstering and ciddling those who were to become teachers. To sum up.he would do away with training colleges and all attendant expenses ; give facilities at the universities for teachers to obtain professional knowledge, and so place them on the same platform with men of other professions. In order to do this he pro posed that certain modifications should be made in tho syllabus of university sub jects providing that school management em bracingmental science,be one of the optional subjects for examination for a degree. This would not necessarily do away with the departmental examination for class E and for music and drawing ; and he thought that class D should be obtained only by passing tho matriculation examination. Under the present system, the tendency was to ignore classics—a vicious course. In order that undergraduates who intended to become teachers might obtain practical acquaintance with the working of a school, he suggested that a model school could be located near the University College, and the Professor of, Educatiop made the rector of it. Mr Railey concluded by moving, " That this Institute is df opinion that in tho interests of national education,' the time has come when the Senate of the University sho lid establish a' teachers' degree." The Rev. Thomas Flavell (Christehurch) thought that the end in view had better ;be mor_ precisely defined. He therefore irWed, ''That this Institute is of opinion that in the interests of national education the' time has come when tho Education Department should establish a chair of education in connection with each of the University Colleges in the colony." This omondment was accepted by Mr Bailey, ahd seconded by him, tho motion being withdrawn in lieu thereof. ." After considerable discussion, tho pro position wis put to the'vote' and nega tived. ' DEPARTMENTAL CERTIFICATES. Mr D. White, M.A. (Otago), then moved the'following series of resolutions — "(a) That tho Minister for Education be re quested to make provision whereby teachers ijot connected with a university may attain tin A, B, or C certificate, (b) That the subjects of examination for an A, B, pr C departmental c'ortificate be the same in all respects as those1 prescribed by the New Zealand University for an M.A. degree with honour's, a B.A. degree, or the first section of the B.A. degree respectively! (c) That those teachers who hav_ taken the B.A. degree of the New Zealand University, but who did not proceed to tho honours ex amination, may1 have an opportunity of ob taining1 an A 'departmental certificate by passing the necessary examination." Under the'present system, be said, a hardship was indicted upon dountry teachers, who Were necessarily debarred from attending the University lectures, and therefore could not go up for tho examinations upon the passage of whicli tho issue of their Certificates de pended. ' • Mr A. B. Thomson (Hawkos Bay) seconded the motion; ' ■ A discussion onsued, in the course ot which1!! was suggested that tho Department would not pass upon country teachers such ii disability as had been mentioned. • A Country-teacher, however, settled this point by affirming that the -'lev. J Habeas had pressed this very disability upon him. Mr B. CitONIM B.A.(Tuakau) iiiovm! as an ameOdmont upon resolution C, '' That the Education Department be requested torecognise the New Zealand M,A. degree for'the'A certificate, provided thocandidatc have passed with such credit as to entitle him to first or second-class honours, ii passed twelve months after the B.A. exam ihation." ' This amendment, after some discussion, was allowed to lap?e, and the original reso ltitions were then passed unanimously. TEACHERS' EXAMINATION'S. "MrM. Fearkley, M.A. (Nelson College Nelson), moved, " That the teachers' exam inations should be held at Easter, and no in December." Mr Flood (Wanganui), seconded.

MrMcARTHUR (Auckland Training Col ledge) moved as an amendment " That the examinations should bo held at midwinter." He said that this would give a better division of the year, and secure cooler weather.

Mr Ff.akxt.t.y accepted June instead of December as the time for the examina tions.

Mr D. White M. A, (Otago), objected to tho proposal, as only last year they had in duced the Department to have the examina tions before the holidays instead of after them.

After somo further discussion the matter was allowed to lapse.

ALLKCI.U 1-OUTH'AI, I'ATRONAIU

Mr A. B. Thomson (Uawke's Bay) moved, " That the Minister for Education bo re-pectful.y requested to abolish for the future all classification upon the ground known as 'further evidence.'" He said that this inexplicable method of classifica tion -.imply opened the door to political pre ferment "Furtherevidence," in fact, was another term for what would be moie plainly designated as political patronage. The Rev. T. Flaveli, (Christehurch) seconded the motion.

Mr D. White, ALA. (Otago), spoke against it. He said that, this provision for "' further evidence " had been the means, in many cases, of obtaining a fiirt her examina tion of teachers' credentials, which in the first inntanco had not been forthcoming, and of satisfactorily adjusting the grades of their holders. Many such cases ooourred in Otago. Tho privilege, in somo cases, might have been abused, but tho benefits out weighed the abuso. Mr W. S. Fitzgerald (Otago) followed in a similar strain.

Messrs W. Flood (Wanganui) and Robertson (Auckland) likewise opposed the motion, tho former considering " further ovidenco " a liberal concession from the De partment, f p 1 the latter wi r.iing Mr Thom son against making insinuated or implied charges of corruption without adducing ovidenco in support thereof. Mr Thomson, in reply, stated lub ability to adduco the evidence if required. Ho as serted that immensely more harm had beon dono under the guise of "further evi dence " than good. Tho motion was put and carried by 1G to 12.

Tho Institute then adjourned until 7.30 o'clock this evening.

THE EXCURSION

Tho Southern members of the Institute wore treated by their Auckland co-workers to an excursion into tho country, which started about half au-hour after tho Confer ence had beon adjournod. The party, to tho number of about twenty-five, drove oil in a break, waggonette, and cab, to the Criterion Hotel, Otalmhu, where an excel lent dinner, prepared in anticipation of the trip, was discussed. From Otahuhu the party woro to have gone on to Mangaro, and thence returned to Auckland via Onohungn. It ia to be regrettod that the weather should not havo proved more propitious.
