EXAMINATION OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Inspector Fldlcr's Reply To Mr SSiivrison.

At tlie meeting of the Board of Education tliis afternoon the following reply was sent from Inspector Filler to the letter sent in by E. M. C. Harrison (Head-master of the Boresforcl-afcrceb School) to the City Schools Committee, and published by us last week : " Rt STANDAIII) EXAMINATION AT BKKia- FOEp-smiiKT-School,, 1887. In tho matter Of this school, I have reported that the work in the lower standard** was satisfactory, that the claws Mibjeets were attended to, that tho discipline was good, but that much of tho standard work in Classes IV. and V. was very poor, and some of it mediocre in VI, even allowing for the fact that the school was oxaminWl tlil'SO weeks before tho usual time. Of the children in standards IV. to VI. fifty-two passed, but eighty-one did not satisfy me as to their proficiency in tho "pass subjects, and, as a necessary consequence, failed to pass tho standard examination. When Mi'JJamson receives the results of examination of his school—which results have not gratified him — he writes to the authorities to characterise tho de partment's syllabus as ' unreasonable, to denounce tho ' unwise ambition' of tho 'Junior Inspector,' and practically suggests fco Lnc Board and to his Committee that he docs not use unfair means to gain high percentages CM his fellow teacher* may do, us he w\y.s ho submits matter for " grave reflection and resolute action." The defect which Mr Harrison finds in my ' methods ' and ' aims! is that I have not relaxed the standard regu lations, tho spirit of which I have for past four years been carrying out in accord anco with my duty. Mr Harrison considers that had 1 been ' humane and judicious ' I would nave ' modified' the ' evils of the legal requirements of the Department's Hyllabus, which govern- j merit requirements, ho says, are 'excessive, unreasonable and imprac ticable.' In other words, he informs the Board that I should have violated tho trust of my oflico, and, in his school, by a process which ho terms ' humane and judicious,' should have let slip 'S3 or 87 por cent"—l quote percentages which have pleased- him of his scholars through an examination in which, to my utter amazement, ho says ' the pupils in the higher classes were examined in '32 subjects or groups of allied subjects.' The fact is (see Standard RegulutionsOtbat the require ments do not in any standard include half that number; by a ' judicious ' and 'fallacious' counting of divisions of sub jects as subjects ho works up a letter which has proved to be sensational, inform ing tho Board that it is administering a system whoso requirements are ' excessive, unreasonable and impracticable.' Though, j contrary-to tho strong opinion of many, 1 do believe that, in view of tho number of holi days in tho year, and of tho fact that the present live hours per diem is broken by intervals, it would be well if the hours for Standards V. and VI. wore live and a-hnlf daily, that docs not affect my opinion of the standard work in the higher classes of the school under consideration, with which I now deal, as with Jive hours a-day it ought to have been better. Mr Harrison thinks my examination was too strict. Now for tho facts he elicits. I have to state that not one'single objection was raised to tho questions on which these results .wove Obtained during tho examin ation ; these objections! appear when the results which do not gratify Mr Harrison are known. Tho papers set had been used over and over again by my colleagues, by one of whom I pome of tho papers used wore set. Mr Harrison states that tho examination was " thorough, minute and exhaustive" and does not impute tho slightest • ill feel ing to inc. Great numbers of tho children had second trials in reading, dictation and arithmetic, a practice which I'uee when I have time, to eliminate as far as possible the element of chance. Sir Harrison more than once expressed his i pleasure at my mode of examining, saying, j after I had handled one subject, ' it was a perfect treat, Mr Fidler, and just carried out my idea of how this subject would be handled, etc. Much of the work reported on was done on paper, and, as is customary, the papers arc to hand. A much larger proportion of tho children in standards IV. to VI. in tho schools of the southern district, examined | by mo, showed themselves proficient in tho I standard subjects than was the case in Mr Harrison's school, though, of course, I used similar lines of examination, and though many of these schools have each only orte or two teachers in charge of a number of standards. In theso, schools seven out of every ten children examined for..a- • '.pass' tmowed sufficient pvo iiciency to be promoted to a higher standard. After quoting remarks from his report re, his not having sacrificed to tho Molocli ' Results,' Mr Fidler proceeds :—' Hence when Mr Harrison practically appoalg to his fellow teachers with tho state ment that .the Junior Inspector's ex amination is too strict in the higher classes and makes'his,own school the test case, it appears, not'that there is excessive strictness,, but that his school does hot com pare favourably with others in the standard work of these classes.' Mr Fidler then goes onto quote from Mr Goodwin's report of la3t year to show, that ,the Beresford street School then only achieved ' fairly satisfactory results.' Mr Fidlcr's letter concludes thusly : —'Mr Harrison says ' The passing of such high percentages in the, lower . standards is a great mis take.' Now- the Board will see from its returns, that I pass ,a smaller percentage calculated over the three lower standards than my colleagues.' If Mr Harrison gets a. '/higher percentage" next year, as I have no doubt he will, he , will then- himself be the means of. explain ing in a-, striking; manner an apparent anomaly which now puzzles him —how it is possible for a school to get 45 per cent. of.passes in one year and go in the next without having to.account for the phenomenon of the ' unwisdom' of the ' inspectors. ; Many of 'the chil dren in,,his highest standards will have taken two years to clo tho standard work which in no other schools is done in one by the majority of the children. If the school he refers to got 47 per cent when examined by me, and the teacher, if he felt: aggrieved in any way, had brought the matter before the Board, I would have done him the same justice ■I now try'to do Mr Harrison. 'Of all the schools examined b'v the senior Inspector last year 74.4 passed in their standards, in Mr Goodwin's district 75 por cent, passed, iri' )Vrnine 09.2. Where is the great dis parity ? Last year the ' Board invited the opinions of the Principal of the Training .> College, of 'the ' inspectors',

and of the Head Master's of the town schools on the syllabus.' I, in reply, ex pressed my opinion then. A committee Of the Board after considering the" corres pondence; did not, so far a3 1 know, make any" recommendation."

DROWNING AT PORT ALBERT.

Pokt Albert, This day. An inquest is now being held before Mr J. Coupland foreman, on the body of Charles Mirlin who was droweed at Topani creek on Wednesday evening. The evidence showed that the deceasedhad had four glasses of whiskey on board the 'steamer Minnie Cagey while tho steamer was alongside of Topani Mill Wharf. The deceased also took a bottle of whiskey which he had pur chased from the steward of tho steamer, and drank part going up. the creek. John Allan bu.'-h' contractor was in the boat at tho time, and it i.s said that deceased turned tho boat' over by leaping on one side. Both fell into the water, but Mr Allan reached tho shore. Constable Ingcr represents the police.

It is with sincere regret that we have to record the death of Mr J. P. Oxley, which took place at his residence, Hardinge-street, to-day. Mr Oxley, who was a nativp of PriliCO Edward Island arrived here with a party of settlers from that colony about thirty years ago, and at once established a manufactory of blocks pumps,' and other snipping appliances. This" business was subsequently almalga nifttcd with that of his sons, Messrs J. and I). Oxioy, shipchnndlcrs of the Queen-street wharf. Mr Oxley was of a genial kindly disposition, and no man was better known or more personally popular in shipping circles. Except for an affection of the sight. which produced partial blindncss,Ue enjoyed very good health until recently. r Last Tuesday lio went on a short visit to Wairoa Soutli and during the passage ho con tracted a" severe cold which resulted In inllamination of tlie kidneys. He was re moved fco Auckland on Tuesday arriving in a low condition. Medical skill was imvailing, the patient steadily sinking until death ended his bufferings this morning. He was 08 years of age. In token of respect for the memory of' tho deceased nil the vessels in port hoisted their flags half-mast high. In connection with the football match at Nprth Shore to-morrow we notice that the Ferry Company are issuing return tickets, including admission to grounds, at Is.

After the ordinary sitting of the Police Court this morning a man named J. W. Thompson was brought before Mr S. Y. Collins, J.F., on a charge of stealing lOlbs of sugar, the property of Eliza Thomas, and was remanded till to-morrow.
