CHAPTER I.

PRIMARY EDUCATION.

I.SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The School Attendance Act came into operation generally as from1st January, 1927. The following table shows the statistics of childrento whom the Act applies (6-14 years of age) on Rolls with the averageattendance for each year since 1934:-

Average No. Average Percentage ofYear ended on Rolls Attendance Attendance

30th June, 1934 420,494 357,918 85.11935 416,252 353,lO7 84.81936 409,596 345,485 84.31937 404,701 337,628 83.41938 398,S-H 336,850 84.51939 392,141 330,602 84.31940 392,588 333,766 85.0

" 1941 392,872 328,450 83.6

The statistics for the school year 1940-41 show that while therehas been a slight increase in the average number on rolls * there hasbeen a decrease of 1.4 in the percentage attendance of pupils to whomthe Act applies, as compared with the previous year.

For the school year 1940-41 Dublin City attained the highest per-centage attendance (86.8) of children to whom the Act applies in anyCounty or County Borough. The next places were occupied in de-scending order by Cork County and Louth with 85.0 each and Limerickand Dublin Counties with 84.7 each.

With the exception of Dublin City, which shows an increase of0.3 per cent., there has been a slight decrease in the percentageattendance in all Counties and County Boroughs as compared withthe previous year.

11.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.During the year 1940-41 grants amounting in the aggregate to

£337,319 19s. 9d. were sanctioned by the Department for the erection

* This increase is due to the fact that there were 6,200 refugee children on therolls of the National Schools in the School year (Vide Section V. Unemploymentamongst, and Recruitment of teachers.)

10

of new schools and for the enlargement, improvement. etc., of existingschools. The following table shows how the grants were allocated :-

£ s. d.For the erection of 28 new schools to accommodate

6,998 pupils 283,324 7 9Supplemental grants for new schools erected or in

course of erection .. 17,259 12 8For the enlargement of existing schools to provide

additional accommodation for 312 pupils 14,401 6 3For structural improvement, furniture, etc., in 141

schools 22,334 13

TOTAL .. £337,319 19 9

Included in the 28 new schools for the erection of which grants were·sanctioned during the year, were large new schools for boys, girls andinfants at Larkhill, Drumcondra, and for girls and infants in theNorth Crumlin area of the County Borough of Dublin.

During the ten years from 1931-32 to 1940-41 inclusive, the.aggregate grants sanctioned for school building and improvementamounted to £1,827,633 19s. 5d. The cost of the works in respectof which the grants were allowed was estimated at £2,369,644 lOs. 4d.,and the difference between this amount and the grants sanctioned,viz., £542,010 lOs. l l d., represents the contributions to be providedfrom local sources. The grants were made for the erection of 380new schools, the enlargement of 166 schools, and for improvementsto 2,165 schools.

A considerable amount of school building work was accomplishedduring the year under review, but as indicated in the last annualreport the shortage of essential building material in the existingemergency will inevitably retard progress in regard to buildingoperations.

ill.

AMALGAMATION OF SCHOOLS.

During the year under review 48 schools were amalgamated, re-sulting in the elimination of 24 schools as separate institutions.

IV.

VAN AND BOAT SERVICES AND GRANTS TOWARDS THEMAINTENANCE OF ISLAND CHILDREN ON THE MAINLAND.

As explained in previous Annual Reports, grants are made by thisDepartment towards the cost of the conveyance of children to school:

(a) by means of van services under Rule 30(2) of the Rules andRegulations for National Schools in areas in which the children

11

reside far from school. The average number of eligible childrenconveyed by schemes under this Rule must not be less thanseven;

(b) by means of boat services from isla~ds :vhere the number ofchildren available is too small to maintain schools.

In addition, as indicated in the report of 1934-35, a special scheme

f the conveyance to school of Protestant children in isolated areasor . h S .vas sanctioned from the 1st July, 1934, in connection W1t ection

~ (2) (c) of the School Attendanc~ Act, 1926. ~ grant-in-aid at therate of £5 for a child per annum 1Smade by this Department to theReuresentative Church Body towards the cost of each service recognisedunder this scheme, provided that an average number of five eligib~echildren is conveyed by the service quarterly. The State grant 1Ssupplemented at the end of each school year by a~ ad~itional grantof such an amount as brings the total State contribution to 50 percent of the total cost of the scheme, subject to a maximum in anyone year of £3,500. .

A table showing the number of van and boat services under theschemes in operation on the 31st March, 1941, is given in the

Appendices. .'The net expenditure for van and boat services for the financ:al

year ended 31st March, 1941, was £6,071 17s. 5d., as compared w:th£7661 14s. 4d. for the financial year ended 31st March, 1940. 1hea~oul1t expended in the year 1939-40 included £1,545 Os. ll~. netexpenditure on a special bus service for the conveyance of chtldre~from the Crumlin-Kimmage area to various Dublin schools. Thisbus service ceased to operate on the 14th July, 1939.

Grants are also made in a few exceptional cases towards the costof maintaining necessitous island children on the Mainland for t~epurpose of enabling them to attend school. The number of such chil-dren in respect of whom grants were paid on the 31st March, 1941,was 19, and the cost of their maintenance for the financial year endedon that date was £116 13s. 8d.

V

UNEMPLOYMENT AMONGST AND RECRUITMENT OF TEACHERS·

The average number of pupils on rolls on the 30th June, 1940,showed an increase of over 1,500 on that for the 30th June, 1939.This increase was due, however, to the temporary enrolment of about3,000 pupils from Great Britain, so that there was, in fact, a decreasein the number of pupils normally available of about 1,500, comparedwith a decrease of over 7,000 as between 1937-38 and 1938-39. For1940-41 the average number on Rolls again showed an increase, thistime of nearly 2,000 ; of the total, however, some 6,200 were refugee

12

children, and the number of children normally available fell, therefore,since the 30th June, 1940, by about 2,000. But the average dailyattendance of all pupils during 1940-41 fell by nearly 8,500, and, ifallowance be made for refugee children, the fall in the average at-tendance of children normally available was about 12,000. In 1939-40the .percentage of average daily attendance to average number ofpupils on rolls was 83.9, but in 1940-41 this figure fell to 82.4. Thispercentage decline is unsatisfactory, but the fact that the decline inthe number of children on Rolls who are ordinarily resident in thiscountry was again of smaller proportions may, perhaps, be taken asa more heartening sign. It is evident, however, that the decline in thenumber of teaching posts, which have been considerably reduced bythe continuous fall in the school-going population since 1933-34,cannot be regarded as arrested, and that the numbers of teachers tobe recruited in future must receive the closest attention.

The .measures already taken to restrict entrance to the teachingprofession and the concessions made in the regulations governingappomtment and retention of teachers have, as reported last year,borne fruit and a considerable reduction has been effected in the totalnumber of teach rs without employment of a permanent or semi-permanent nature, although progress was not as favourable in the caseo~ ~he women as had been expected. The temporary scheme for pro-viding e~nployment for men teachers still continues in operation;unde:- thI~ scheme a number of posts for men are authorised in largerclassification monastery schools, and in selected schools in whichprogress in Irish is hampered by the inadequate qualifications in thelanguage of one or more members of the staff.

As a result of an examination of the general position and in the Iizhtof. the information at the time available, it was possible to re-o;enstill further in 1942 the avenues of recruitment which had beentemporarily closed. In 1942, in addition to the examination forqualification as untrained teachers in capitation schools, etc., whichhad not been suspended, examinations for the admission of a limitednumber of boys and girls to the Catholic Preparatory Colleges, of girlsto Colaiste M6ibhi (The Preparatory College for Protestant candi-dates), and of girls (by open competition direct to the TrainingColleges for Catholic Women) have been held. The need for admissionnow of those first recruits is due to the fact that a period of 6 yearselapses from the time of admission to the Preparatory College and oftwo years from the time of admission to the Training College beforethe entrant becomes a trained teacher. Recruitment of Church ofIreland boys for Colaiste M6ibhi and of boys and girls by open com-petition direct to the Church of Ireland Training College must stillremain suspended this year (but the needs of the schools underPresby~eri~n management require that a small number of boys of thatden om mat IOn should be accepted). Further, it will not be possible

13

tor some time to admit boys by open competition to St. Patrick'sTraining College.

Arrangements have also been made for the first time since 1937-for the' recruitment of a limited number of junior assistant mistresses.The examination will, as heretofore, consist of oral tests in Irish,English, and Singing, and a practical test in Needlework, at Easter,and the fulfilment of certain prescribed conditions at the SecondarySchools' Leaving Certificate Examination in June, but the basis isbeing changed from that of a qualifying to a competitive test. Thisalteration will, it is hoped, afford to the limited number who will be.declared eligible better opportunities of securing positions than thef.ormer system.

PRIMARY SCHOOL CERTIFICATE EXAl'IIINATION.

The total number of schools presenting pupils for examination inJune, 1941, the number presented and the number who passed wereas follows ;-

Number of Number of Pupils Number of PupilsSchools. Presented. who Passed.

995 12,066 9,468

Fuller details are given at page 90 (table 47) of this Report.The numbers generally for 1941 represent an increase over those for

1940 ; but as the detailed table shows the proportion of eligible pupilswho sat for the examination remains disappointing. This examination,which was established in 1929, is on an optional basis and effortsin recent years to introduce a voluntary scheme which would have awider appeal have failed to secure the necesssary amount of cooperationfrom the teachers as a body. Since the need for a Primary SchoolCertificate, which all eligible pupils may be afforded an opportunityof obtaining, is clear, consideration is being given to the formulationof a scheme whereby the examination will be compulsory for all pupilsin the Sixth and higher standards who have not already presentedthemselves. Details of this new scheme have not yet been arranged,but the Examination will probably be confined to written tests inthe three main subjects of the Curriculum, viz., Irish, English andArithmetic, to be conducted at all centres on a single day. It is hopedthat managers and teachers will co-operate in making the scheme asuccess and that, as a result of this re-organisation, the Certificate willcarry its due weight in the present co-ordinated system of Education.

X.SCHOLARSHIPS IN SECONDARY AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.

Arrangements as in former years remained (generally) in operation.The total number of candidates examined was 1,932 an increase of142, of whom 61 per cent. fulfilled the Pass conditions. In all, 341Scholarships were awarded by the Councils, a decrease of 16 from theprevious year.

Mayo County Council has extended its scheme so as to provide forthe training of girls (two in each year) as nurses in approved hospitalson the completion of their Secondary education. The extension may befor a period of 3 years over and above the period of tenure of theSecondary School Scholarship .

11.GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.

Schools and Pupils.Recognition as Secondary Schools was accorded to seven new

schools, which brought the total number for the year up to 352.The number of pupils receiving instruction in these schools amountedto 38,713, an increase of 1,043 on the number for the previous year.29,785 pupils were enrolled in the Intermediate Certificate Course,and 8,928 in the Leaving Certificate Course.Irish and Bilingual Schools.

The number of schools in which all subjects of the programmewere taught through the medium of Irish was 106-two in excess ofthe number for 1939-'40. The number of schools in which part ofthe instruction was given through Irish amounted to lO4, which, also,exceeded the number for the previous year by two. The Irish andBilingual Schools were attended by 24,750 pupils or 63.9 per cent.of the total number of pupils enrolled in Secondary Schools.

The shields for competition among Secondary Schools in whichIrish is used as the ordinary medium in the course of. recreation and

23

.social activities as well as in school work, were awarded in the school-year, 1940-'41, to the ~ollowing:-:--, . .

Boys' Shield: Colaisde Carraig a Tobair, Caiseal Mumhan.Girls' Shield: Clochar na Toirbheirte, Mointeach Milic.

This was the eight year of the competition, which will conclude in1942-'43.

ill.

CURRICULUM AND EXAMINATIONS.'Co-ordination of Leaving Certificate and Matriculation Courses.

Following conferences between representatives of the NationalUniversity and the Department the Courses for the Leaving Cer-tificate and the Matriculation Examinations were fully co-ordinatedin practically all the subjects of the Curriculum and the NationalUniversity will accept a Pass in a subject at the Leaving CertificateExamination as equivalent to a Pass in the corresponding subjectof the Matriculation Examination.

Examinations .11 016 candidates sat for the Certificate Examinations in 1941.

Of these, 3,135 sat for the Leaving Certificate and 7,881 for theIntermediate Certificate. The total number of candidates was greaterthan the number for 1940 by 549. 85.1 per cent. of the candidatespassed the Leaving Certificate Examination and 80.7 per cent. theIntermediate Certificate Examination. The total percentage of passeswas 81.9.

IV.

THE STAFFS IN THE SCHOOLS.The total number of teachers employed in Secondary Schools in

the school-year 1940-'41 was 3,173, an increase of 29 on the numberfor 1939-'40. The number of registered teachers employed was 1,794,as compared with 1,742 in the previous school-year. Particulars ofthe number of registered and unregistered teachers in each school aregiven in the Tables appended to this report.

The number of teachers in receipt of Incremental Salary was 1,580,being an increase of 36 on the figure for the previous year. The numberof teachers who received an additional increment or increments inrespect of Honours degrees or equivalent was 642. The number whoreceived a special increment for teaching through the medium ofIrish was 427, as compared with 402 in 1939--'40.

In addition to those who received Incremental Salary, 39 teacherswould have received payment but for the fact that they were inexcess of the authorised quota of teachers in the schools in whichthey were employed to whom Incremental Salary was payable. The

24

corresponding figure for the previous year was 35. There were thirteenrecognised teachers who came within the recognised quota in theirrespective schools, but who were not paid Incremental Salary, fourof these having had no previous approved teaching service to placethem on the scale of payments and nine others having failed to submitclaims. The number of teachers admitted to the Register of SecondarySchool Teachers during the year was 117.

v.SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES.

The number of scholarships offered for competition on the resultsof the Intermediate Certificate Examination was the same as for1940, viz. :-

Boys: First Class, 36; Second Class, 36.Girls: First Class, 20; Second Class, 20.

31 scholarships were awarded in 1941 under the Department's Schemeof Scholarships to Secondary Schools for students from the Fior-Ghaedhealtacht. 113 scholarships in all were held in the school-year1940-'41 under this scheme. The holders were distributed over ASchools and the Preparatory Colleges. The scholarships to be awardedto boys will, for a number of years, be tenable in Preparatory Collegesonly.

During 1940-'41 the total number of scholarships 'held in Secondaryand Vocational Schools under awards by the Department and byCounty or Borough Councils was as follows :-

(a) Awarded by County or Borough Councils 1,596(b) Awarded by the Department on the results of the Inter-

mediate Certificate Examination 207(c) Awarded by the Department under the Scheme for

students from the Fior-Ghaedhealtacht 113

Total 1,916

University Scholarships for Fior-Ghaedhealtacht Students.Five University Scholarships were awarded in 1941 under the

scheme for the award of scholarships to students from the Fior-Ghaedhealtacht. This brought the total number of such scholarshipsin operation up to 19. The 19 holders of these scholarships are pur-suing University Courses as follows :-

Arts and Commerce 4.Arts 4.Commerce 3.Medicine 4 ..Agricultural Science 2Engineering 2.

25

Medals for Irish Composition.As in the previous year, medals for Irish Composition were awarded

at the Intermediate and Leaving Certificate Examinations, viz., agold medal for the best and a silver medal for the second best essaywritten by boys, and similar awards for girls, at each of the examina-tions mentioned.

CHAPTER m.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

I.-Progress of Vocational Education.rhe disturbed conditions prevalent during the Session 1940-'41

had a marked influence on the progress of Vocational Education. InContinuation Education this influence was definitely adverse. Forthe first time since the Vocational Education Act of 1930 came intooperation, there was a decline in the total number of students inattendance at whole-time day courses. It is true that this decline wassmall, viz., from a total of 15,063 whole-time day students in 1939-'40to a total of 14,925 in 1940-'41, but an increase of 400 to 500 studentshad been expected as a result of the preparations made at the closeof the 1939-'40 session. In the section of this Report dealing withContinuation Education it is pointed out that the fall in attendancewas due mainly to the demand in rural areas for the labour of boys inconnection with the increased tillage and turf production schemes.In Technical Education other factors were at work. Demands madeby the Local Defence and Security Forces, A.R.P. and other organisa-tions affected the attendance at trade classes especially in the largerurban centres. This, however, was more than counter-balanced by theincreased demand for instruction in Domestic Economy among house-holders and others desiring to learn methods more suited to presentemergency conditions. Actually there was a net increase in the numberin attendance at evening technical classes from 26,606 in 1939-'40to 28,789 in 1940-'41.

As a result of the experience gained during the first two sessionsthe experiment being conducted in the City of Cork in connection withthe raising of the school-leaving age was reorganised and its workingduring the session 1940-'41 is described in detail elsewhere in thisReport. The broadening of the Course by the addition of externlectures and visits to places of interest and by the provision of eveningclasses in Physical Training, Choral Singing, Drama and Irish Dancinghas had definitely valuable results. It is now proposed to carry out asimilar experiment in the City of Limerick and the appropriate stepsare being taken to commence there in the session 1942-'43.

Official circulars were issued during the session to all the Vocational

26

Education Committees advising them to take the necessary steps tosecure an adequate quantity of fuel through their respective localauthorities and stressing the importance of effecting economies in theheating and lighting of the schools and in the use of materials inpractical classes. Subsequently, two conferences were held by theChief Inspector with groups of Chief Executive Officers, when attentionwas directed to the need for a more economic administration of theschemes under present conditions and suggestions were put forwardas to how economies could best be secured.

In April, 1941, a circular dealing with the prevailing shortage ofwhe~ten flour was sent to the Committees. It was suggested thatspecial lectures and demonstrations should be given by the DomesticEconomy teachers on the following or other suitable subjects :_

(1) the use of potatoes and their value as a substitute for bread'(2) the use of oatmeal and its value as a substitute for wheaten

flour ;(3) war-time diet for infants and invalids;(4) war-time diet for school-children;(5) farm products and their use in the kitchen'(6) the use of vegetables-the lecture to be associated with school

and home garden schemes;(7) home preservation of food;(8) how to cook with little fuel.

It was also suggested that the Committees should prepare and dis-tribute informatory leaflets containing useful recipes and advice onthe methods of storing and preserving food These proposals wereadopted by practically all of the Committees, and before the end ofthe session lectures were given not only in all the urban centres butin nearly every parish in which suitable accommodation could beprovided. It is difficult to obtain precise figures of attendance at thelectures, but the total is not less than 120,000 in all. To give a specificexample the attendance at 117 lectures in County Galway amountedto 4,951. In the County Boroughs the demand for admission to thelectures was so great that they had frequently to be repeated. InCork the course of five lectures had to be given fifteen times. Else-where in this Report reference is made to the manner in which theparents of the children attending the Compulsory Course in Corkappreciated the special course of lectures. Practically all the Com-mittees prepared and presented to those attending the lectures a four-page pamphlet containing recipes for tread-making, soups and mis-cellaneous dishes based mainly on vegetables. In County Limerickas many as 20,000 pamphlets were distributed.

A. new Memorandum (V. 39) was prepared and issued during thesession. It clealswith the qualifications required of teachers of DomesticEconomy under schemes of vocational education.

Many valuable scholarships were awarded by the Vocational

Education Committee during the session. For the country as a whole,722 scholarships were granted involving a total cost of over £7,500.There were 624 Irish scholarships to the Gaeltacht, amounting to£5,129, 42 Domestic Economy scholarships, mainly to ResidentialSchools, amounting to £1,084; 54 scholarships of £10 each toapprentices being trained by the Electricity Supply Board, and 22miscellaneous scholarships to a total of £780. In the latter groupwere included scholarships to the National College of Art and Scholar-ships awarded in Cork, Kerry and Limerick to students of RuralScience. In Bray the Trades' and Labour Council provided funds toincrease its scholarship awards from 21 to 25 for students entering thewhole-time day courses in the Vocational School.

The Vocational Schools were again used by the Royal DublinSociety for its valuable series of extension lectures. Chief ExecutiveOfficers comment in their annual report on the great appreciation whichthe farmers had for the Society's lectures on agricultural subjects.In all centres there was a good attendance of adults. In CountySligo the four lectures were followed with marked interest by some1,500 farmers. Barrington lectures on Economics were also given inthe vocational schools in the counties of Galway, Leitrim, Sligo andWaterford.

An annual exhibition of the work of the schools now forms animportant feature of nearly every scheme of Vocational Education.At these exhibitions practical classes are often conducted in presenceof the visitors and in all the rural centres the school garden is opento the public. Suitable exhibits of finished work and of the vegetablesgrown in the garden are on view. Similar exhibits are frequentlyshown at the local feiseanna, Horticultural or Agricultural Shows.The publicity thus given to the work serves a very valuable purposeand enables the community as a whole to appraise the value of theVocational Education Scheme at work in its midst.

Despi te the difficulties of the session 1940-'41, reports of ChiefExecuti ve Officers state that suitable positions were found for mostof the good students who had completed their courses in the whole-time day school. In the County schemes the record of employmentis not so complete. Furthermore, many of the students in rural areasfound work on the land and on the turf bogs during the session, asindicated later on in this Report. In County Galway employmentwas found for forty students, in County Leitrim for twenty-sevenstudents, in Offaly for thirty-seven students and in Mayo for fifty-six students.n.-Continuation Education.

Despite the abnormal and unsettled circumstances of the periodthere was a steady demand for Continuation Education during thesession 1940-'41. In the permanent schools in the County Boroughs.and in the larger urban centres, whole-time day courses for boys and

28

for girls were filled inside the first mon~h. Inspectors .repor~ in genera~an increased enrolment in schools of this type. Expenence ill the ruralareas was, however, more varied. In the majority of the rural schoolsthere was a satisfactory enrolment of both boys and girls. There were,.however, areas in which there was a falling off in the number of boysin attendance. In such areas there was apparently not an adequatesupply of adult labour to deal with the large acreage under tillage,and the boys had to be kept at home to work on the land. ChiefExecutive Officers draw attention to this in their annual reports." The rural schools suffered in attendance," says the Chief ExecutiveOfficer for County Kerry, " when in Spring and early Summer the moregrown pupils were engaged in helping at Spring sowing and at turfcutting and saving." In the County Leitrim report, it is stated that:" the increased tillage and turf campaigns caused inevitable seasonalirregularity of attendance on the part of boys." In Cappamore,County Limerick, the demand for labour on the neighbouring bog wasso great and so persistent that the whole-time day course for boyshad to be closed earlier than usual. Throughout it was the labour ofthe boys that was required. There was little demand for the girls,whose attendance continued to be regular throughout the session.

In the Annual Report for 1939-'40 a description was given of avaluable experiment conducted in Marino Technical School, Dublin,by running a model office for a week, as part of the training given tothe students in the Day Commercial Courses. For session 1940-'41this model office was organised to conduct the business of the" MarinoClothing Company, Limited," wholesale clothing manufacturers, withretail-branches at Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. The com-mercial teacher, who originated this idea, again acted as generalmanager and had a staff of clerks, travellers, buyers, shorthand-typists, cashiers, accountants and factory manager. The whole routineof a wholesale clothing business was conducted steadily throughoutthe day, and the transactions received a marked aspect of reality bythe plentiful display of samples and advertisements, which had beenliberally supplied by leading Irish firms engaged in the clothingbusiness. Not only did the firms lend valuable assistance in thismanner, but many of them sent their representatives to visit theschool whilst the experiment was in operation. Appreciation wasexpressed of the commercial experience which this training wasgiving and valuable ideas were advanced for its improvement. Pressreports again emphasised the great value of this practical experimentin commercial education.

It is gratifying to record that the whole-time day courses in DomesticEconomy are becoming an important feature in all schemes of con-tinuation education. They attract a large number of girls of a goodtype in the County Boroughs and the larger urban centres. Therapidity with which the courses were filled was a characteristic of

29

the " ark This was probably due, in some respects, to thesession sw. .widespread realisation of the need for such training ~n the presentemergency. This increase was particularly ~arked ill ~he ~o~tyBoroughs. Gairm Scoil Aine-the girls new auxiliary school m Li~~nck-had a full enrolment inside two weeks. In Waterford an additionalclass had to be formed and extra teachers engaged to cope with thedemand. A special feature of the course in Waterford was the ac-quisition by the Vocatio~al Educatio~ Committee of an adj~centvacant dwelling house, which was repaired, decorated and furmshed-to provide practical instruction in general household ~anagemen.t.Pupils from each group of the whol.e-tim~ ~ay .courses ill Domes.bcEconomy were given two weeks special training m the actual runmngof the house, cooking and serving the mid-day meal and performingall the usual cleaning and bed-making. The great interest which thestudents took in working in the house added much to the efficiencyof the training. The actual value of the training is better assessedby the fact that several of' the students left towards the end of thesession for posts such as assistant hotel matron, housekeepeer orcompanion. In the rural schools these courses again proved successfuland the training in the cooking of the large variety of vegetables grownby the boys in the school garden acquired an added value because ofthe circumstances of the times. Instruction in home spinning anddyeing was continued in the counties of Clare and Galway. In Castle-pollard Rural School in County Westmeath, weaving on small handlooms was introduced for girls at the day course, and proved a verypopular feature. It was subsequently extended with equal successto the evening classes.

Instruction in Rural Science and the cultivation of the schoolgarden played an important part in connection with the drive forincreased tillage in session 1940-'41. The leaflet issued by the Depart-ment of Agriculture on the Production of Root and Vegetable Seedswas circulated to all the Rural Science Instructors. In the accompany-ing letter from the Department of Education, it was stated that" Rural Science teachers should pay particular attention to the subjectof Seed Production in the current school year and should utilisesuitable portions of the school gardens for demonstrating the culti-vation of the seeds of mangels, turnips, carrots, parsnips, cabbages,cauliflowers, and such like." Subsequent reports show that thisadvice was followed in all school gardens. In one district the Inspectorreported that as many as twenty different species were planted inone school garden for seed purposes alone. Most of the rural schoolshave secured an adequate supply of seed. In addition, there was adefinite tendency to increase the variety of vegetables under cultivation.

The list of those grown in the gardens in the County Cork schoolsincludes 18 different varieties, with early and late types of many ofthem. Every County Scheme of Vocational Education now contains

30

one or more Rural Science Instructor and wherever they teach theschool garden is utilised as a vital factor in the instruction.

The prize scheme in connection with plots grown by the studentsoutside the school garden has been frequently described in theseAnnual Reports. Its value is now generally recognised and there isusually one such scheme in most areas. In Galway, where it hasspread most ra~idly, there were 73 competitors from the seven per-mane~t ~chools m the area; whilst in the comparatively smaller countyof Leitrim, the Home Gardens Prize Scheme attracted 50 entries.As pointed out in previous Annual Reports, the real value of thisscheme is that it brings the training of the rural school home to theland, and enables the older farmers and neighbours to realise theadvantages which their children can secure from attendance at theschools.

In view of the emergency, special efforts were made in some schemesto provide additional instruction in gardening and food production.In the South Riding of Tipperary a special instructor in Horticulturewas engaged, and devoted a considerable portion of his services tothe allotment schemes in Clonmel and in Carrick-on-Suir and healso paid visits to gardens and gave advice to the owners on the pruningof trees, the treatment of garden pests, manuring and rotation.Lectures and advice of a similar nature were given to plotholders inCounty Cork by the Rural Science Organiser. In Galwav town thenewly appointed Rural Science Teacher devoted much 0/his ti~e tothis work. ~n the. Borough of Limerick, the services of the Organiserof Rural Science m the County were obtained. He lectured at theLimerick Technical Insti.tute once .a month from February to Julyto plotholders and those interested m gardens. A disused plot at theback of the Institute was converted into a school garden and utilisedfor practical demonstrations. In County Wicklow lectures in Agri-culture and Horticulture were given by the Agricultural Instructorsin the technical schools at Arklow, Baltinglass, Carnew and Wicklow.

In all schemes there was a successful organisation of social ac-tivities for students of the day schools. As in previous sessions foot-ball, hurling and camogie teams were formed. The inter-school andinter-scheme matches, so prominent a feature previously, had to belargely curtailed owing to transport difficulties. There was an increasein the publication of school magazines, and in most schemes theannual ~po~ts meeting was held. Where instruction was provided inc~oral smgmg and physical training, there was a number of public~lsplays, especially in the larger urban centres. The variety of theItems and the finished performance of the students were subjects offavourable comment.m.-Technical Education.

Throughout the country, as a whole, the activities of the LocalDefence and Local Security Forces, the A.R.P. and First-Aid Services

31

made many claims upon persons who would normally have joinedevening technical classes for session 1940-'41. Reports from manycentres show that students, who came to enrol, sometimes found thatthe nights on which their classes were held were those on which theywere required to attend in connection with one or other of the services.For this reason, there was a decline in the number in attendance atevening technical classes in many districts, though the decline wascounterbalanced in some areas by increases in other classes. Thisincrease was most marked in the Domestic Economy section, whichhad suffered heavily from the" black-out" in operation early in theprevious session. In the county boroughs and in several of the largerurban centres the greater demand for evening technical instruction inDomestic Economy taxed the capacity of the schools to the utmost.In the girls' auxiliary school in Limerick, good work was done in a classin craftwork for blind people under the control of a specially trainedteacher. Classes in the Building and Engineering Trades continuedto attract a satisfactory number of students and the demand, inparticular, for advanced classes was very marked in Dublin and inCork. There was also a good demand for advanced instruction incommercial subjects in these two boroughs.

In the County schemes satisfactory enrolments were generallyrecorded in those centres in which permanent Vocational Schoolshad been erected. After January, 1941, increasing difficulty wasexperienced in the organisation of itinerant courses in Manual Instruc-tion and Domestic Economy owing to the marked shortage of petrol.Difficulty in securing regular and reliable means of transport in con-nection with itinerant afternoon and evening classes restricted thechoice of centres in many schemes. Efforts had to be made to selectthose centres adjacent to the permanent vocational school in whichthe teacher worked in the day time and with which adequate meansof transport were available. In Domestic Economy, this lack ofitinerant courses was compensated, to some extent, by the lecturesin Emergency Cooking, to which reference has been made earlier inthis Report.

Through the co-operation of the Vocational Education Committeesthe valuable extension lectures organised by the Royal Dublin Societywere given in the early part of the session in many of the vocationalschools throughout the country. Reports indicated that these lecturesproved very popular features and attracted a large number of adults,the lectures on agricultural topics being very much appreciated inthe rural centres. Barrington lectures on economic subjects were alsodelivered in a number of the technical schools in the larger urban centres~nd were well attended. Training for specific industries was in operation111 many schemes during the session along lines similar to those de-scribed in previous Annual Reports. The scheme for the training ofthe Electricity Supply Board Apprentices was continued in Bolton

32

Street Technical School. The 86 apprentices were graded into First,Second, Third and Fourth Year Courses, according to their stage ofapprenticeship. Suitable tests, based upon the Technical SchoolExaminations of the Department were taken by apprencties at theend of the Second and Fourth Year Courses. In the same school40 apprentices of the Printing Trade-IS Machine-men and 2S Com-positors-continued their whole-time day courses. There was a largedemand in ~evin Street Institute for courses in Radiotelegraphy andTechnol?gy m Telephony and in Bakery Practice and Technology.In Dublin, Cork, Waterford and Drogheda, courses in Applied Chemistryproved very popular. Special classes for the Engineering Tradeswere formed in Cork, Dundalk and Enniscorthy. In the BuildingTrades, a special course in Architecture was inaugurated in Dublinevening classes for plumbers were provided in Waterford and Wexford:and part-time courses for painters and decorators were conducted~n Limerick and Waterford. In connection with the coal-miningmdus:ry at Castlecomer, a special course in Mining Engineering wasorganised for adults employed in the mines.IV.-Efficiency of Instruction.

It was the general opinion of the inspectors of the Departmentthat the efficiency of instruction in both day and evening classes wasgood during the Session 1940-'4l. Definite evidence in support of thisview. was furni~hed, as regards the work in the day schools, by theSpecial Inspections conducted in 9 counties and 6 scheduled urbanareas. In the Annual Report for 1939-'40, a full account was given ofthese Special Inspections, which took place for the first time in thatsession .. It is proposed to carry out similar inspections in the dayschools m the County Boroughs of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Water-ford during the session 1941-'42. In this manner, within a period ofthree years, it is possible for the Department to secure detailed in-formation on the nature and efficiency of the work carried on in whole-time day courses in Vocational Schools, throughout the country as awhole.

The Special In~pections, carried out from the middle of Februaryto the end of April, 1941, revealed that good work was being done inall the schools under examination. In the majority of the centresa distinctly high standard was reached in one or more sections wherethe teachers were methodical and resourceful and honest and con-sistent work had been done with well-graded groups of students. Thegeneral impression gained was that in most cases the teachers had aclear vision of the purpose of the courses being followed, planned theirsch~mes of work carefully with the desired end in view, and broughttheIr classes to a reasonably sound degree of proficiency. Individualweaknesses were dealt with as in 1939-'40, by conferences betweenthe teacher or teachers concerned, the local chief executive officerand the inspectors. The value of these conferences is reflected in those

33

areas in which these Special Inspections had been held in 1939-'40 ;inspectors report that in nearly every case the advice given wasaccepted and more efficient work was being done. In more than onecase, correspondence went on between the teacher and the inspectorelaborating the points of view expressed at a special inspection or aconference.

Instruction in Metalwork was distinctly satisfactory throughoutthe country as a whole. The difficulty in obtaining materials andparticularly non-ferrous materials restricted the scope of the in-struction and limited the practical exercises in size and variety. Thepractice of correlating practical work and machine drawing by thegreater use of workshop sketches has been widely followed and withgood results. A high standard of skill in tool manipulation, particularlyin the day classes, was again observed. In several centres, however,even good teachers seem to be fascinated by the pursuit of this skill,with the result, that the important processes of forging and cold-bending to measurement, soldering and chipping do not receiveadequate attention. Most teachers now realise that instruction inthe proper care and maintenance of equipment is an essential partof the training in workshop practice. Consequently, in the majorityof cases, the inspectors were able to comment upon the neat andclean condition of the workshops. Some teachers do not realise,however, that equal consideration should be given to the tidy andefficient storage of the finished practical exercises of the students.

In Woodwork the standard of instruction was good. A moreextensive use had to be made of native timber. The finished articlesshowed that for many class purposes it was at least as good as theimported material previously used. There was also noted here asatisfactory improvement in the co-ordination between drawing andwoodwork. In the Special Inspections good finished exercises wereproduced in many centres. Proper attention had been devoted to themaintenance and care of equipment, and only in a few cases was itnecessary to comment unfavourably upon the condition of the work-shop.

The efficiency of the teaching of Domestic Economy was very goodin most centres. Judged by the results of the Special Inspections,a sound standard was reached in practical work and the teachers hadrealised the importance of instructing the girls in the use of thelimited food materials available in present conditions. In all centresmore attention had been paid to the cookery of the wide range ofvegetables grown in the school garden. The tendency to over-crowdevening classes was again in evidence in several centres. This wasmainly due to the increased demand for instruction in Cookery as aa result of the emergency.

There was a general improvement in the teaching of Rural Science.This was clearly seen in the more extensive use of the school garden

34

as an outdoor laboratory. Many teachers showed great enterprise,during the Session, by experiments on seed cultivation, on the effects,of manures on crops and on the treatment of plant diseases. Inspectors.in all districts, drew attention to the attractive appearance of the schoolgardens and to the increasing educational influence that such well-cultivated gardens have not only on the boys in attendance at thecourses, but also upon the adult farmers and labourers in the neigh-bourhood.

The teaching of Commercial Subjects was again efficient. In manyof the day schools examined a high standard was reached in Book-keeping, Business Methods, Shorthand and Typewriting. Defects.observed were generally associated with the inexperienced teacherswho adhered too slavishly to text-book methods and had not the-initiative to utilise local business conditions as a basis for their work,Instruction largely founded on the working out of examples fromthe text-book was prevalent in the teaching of Commercial Arith-metic. This was true also for the woodwork teachers who taughtelementary mathematics in junior trades classes.

Outside the County Boroughs and the larger urban centres, it was.the opinion of the inspectors that the efficiency of instruction inevening classes in Commerce was not very satisfactory. Provisionof teaching in the same subjects as those in the whole-time specialisedday course for a very mixed group of students, a few of whom hadpassed through the day course, a few of whom had business experience,whilst others had only just left secondary schools, does not solve theproblem correctly. Good results can only be secured from eveningtechnical classes in Commerce when there is a definite practical pur-pose behind the teaching. There is room in every fair-sized urbancentre for night classes in Book-keeping for shop-keepers, in BusinessMethods for assistants in retail shops and for expert training inShorthand and Typewriting for those already working in business.offices as Shorthand-Typists.

The re-organisation of the work in the Schools of Art in Cork and.Waterford, to enable them to work in unison with the National Collegeof Art, has had a healthy influence on the character of the day work.Students are now attracted to the day courses to pursue a regularcourse leading up to the College diploma or the Art Teachers' Cer-tificate. In Cork, good work was done in the Pictorial and IndustrialDesign section, and very good work was observed in the Crafts.Weaving, book-binding, wood carving and lino-cutting were out-standing features of the work in Waterford; whilst good results wereobtained in Life Painting and Drawing, and Design and Modelling. Atthe end of the session, as the result of a conference with inspectors ofthe Department, the work of the School of Art in Limerick was re--organised and will follow new lines in the Session 1941-42. In theother schemes in which Art Teachers are employed useful work was:

35done, especially in the City of Galway where great initiative andoriginality were disclosed.

V.-Technical School Examinations.In 1941 the number of entries for the Technical School Examinations

was 14,534 in comparison with 14,544 in 1940. There was however,a definite improvement in the standard of knowledge as the numberof passes increased from 8,155 to 9,670 or a rise of from 56.1 % to66.6%.

The scope of the Examination scheme was extended in 1941 by theinclusion of examinations for the Printing Trade. Junior and SeniorTrade Tests with the appropriate written and practical tests werepresented for the two main branches of the trade-Compositors' Workand Letterpress Machine Work. A written test in Irish formed partof the examination, and it is provided that the Senior Stage Certificatewill be specially endorsed for competence in Irish where candidatessecure at least 70% in the test. Two candidates qualified for thisspecial endorsement in 1941.

Whilst the majority of the medals and prizes were secured bystudents in the County Boroughs and the larger urban centres, manywent to good students from the smaller schools in the rural areas.

VI.-The Position of Irish in Vocational Schools.During Session 1940-41 only 5 out of the 37 candidates presented

qualified for the Teastas Muinteora Gaedhilge. It is evident that inrecent years the majority of the candidates did not reach the highstandard for which this test calls. To date, however, 337 candidateshave secured this qualification entitling them to teach under VocationalEducation Schemes. Much the same position has been reached in theexamination for the Ceard Teastas Gaedhilge, which was obtained by36 candidates out of 107 who applied. Exemption from the writtentest was claimed by 44 University Graduates who submitted them-selves to the oral test in which 25 were successful. In addition theeleven candidates who secured their Teachers' Diploma at Kilmacud,and 13 out of the 14 students who qualified at Si. Catherine's, Black-rock, obtained this Certificate.

Elsewhere in this Report reference is made to the Special Inspections,conducted during the Session, by Inspectors of the Department in theday schools in 9 counties and 6 scheduled urban areas. Oral andwritten tests in Irish were given in all whole-time day courses. Theresults of these tests revealed in general a satisfactory standard. Thebest results were secured in those centres where there was a definiteeffort on the part of the teachers to make Irish the general languageof the school. In all districts, however, there are still many teacherswith the Ceard Teastas who take no active part in the language move-ment, and whose inertia in this respect exercises a bad influence onthe students. It is of little use urging adolescent students on the

36

necessity of speaking Irish as often as possible, when the majorityof the teachers in the school make use of English on all occasions.

In the good centres, however, there was a sound development ofbranches of the Fainne, of Feiseanna and of concerts and dramaticperformances. There was a good competition for the cup offered bythe Cumann Dramaidheachta na Scol which was won by a team fromthe Marino Technical School, Dublin.

The problem of teaching of Irish in evening adult classes still awaitssolution. In addition to the difficulties to be overcome, as enumeratedin previous Reports, other difficulties arose during session 1940-41.Transport difficulties, shortage of petrol and of paraffin for the schoollamps reduced the number of centres in which evening classes couldbe held and also the number of those who could attend. Inspectorsstate that, despite these difficulties, good work was done in the eveningclasses in the counties of Cork, Galway, Kerry, Limerick, Mayo, Sligo,Tipperary S.R. and Wexford. In these areas there was generally agood enrolment, steady attendance and progressive teaching. Nowthat a number of the teachers trained in the special short course, asdescribed in this Report, are at work in certain of the VocationalEducation Schemes, it may be possible to discover a more successfulmethod of attracting and holding adult students in evening Irishclasses.

In the special trade tests, introduced for the first time in Session1940-41, for the Printing Trade, Irish was made one of the subjectsof examination. In the Junior Trade Test, out of the 25 candidates,12 secured First Class Passes with over 70% and 7 secured the minimumof 50% required for a Pass. There were f) candidates for the SeniorTrade Test and 2 qualified for First Class Pass whilst 6 secured a Pass.The Certificates of the two candidates who obtained First Class Passesin Irish in the Senior Stage were specially endorsed.

The majority of the vocational Education Committees continuedtheir schemes of scholarships, whereby selected students are enabledto spend a month in the Gaeltacht to improve their oral knowledgeof the language. Owing to transport difficulties the scholarshipscheme was replaced in a few districts by special courses organised inselected centres. Successful courses of this type were held in Port-laoighise and Clonmel in the local vocational school. The Irishatmosphere suitable to such courses was created and maintained withthe result that towards the end of each course many of the studentswere conversing with a fluency equal to that secured in other years bya stay in the Gaeltacht.VII.-Raising of the School-Leaving Age.

The experiment, conducted under Part V of the Vocational Educa-tion Act, 1930, in connection with the raising of the School-LeavingAge to 16, entered on its third session in Cork in 1940-4l. The numberon the rolls throughout the session can be seen in the following table:-

As pointed out in the Annual Report for 1939-40, there is an exodusat the end of each quarter of those who have reached 16 years and areno longer under obligation to continue in attendance. During theensuing quarter, numbers are increased by enrolments of those reachingthe age of 14. The following table shows the number leaving andjoining during Session 1940-4l.

Compared with previous sessions, the numbers on the Rolls aresmaller, and the discrepancy between the numbers leaving and joiningis greater. This is not due to any sudden difference in the numbers inthe age group 14-16, nor to any defect in administering the compulsoryclasses. The explanation is furnished in the Annual Report of theChief Executive Officer to the City of Cork Vocational EducationCommittee. "The numbers enrolled during the past three years"he writes, "show a progressive yearly decrease, but this may beaccounted for by the fact that there has been a great exodus duringthat period from the congested areas of the City to the CorporationHousing Schemes, outside the City. The vast majority of thosechanging their residence would be of that section of the communityfrom which our numbers are almost wholly recruited. There are closeon 800 houses outside the Borough in two of the new schemes alone,which shows to what extent the registration can be effected by thismigration." As soon as any family moves into one of these-new houses,its members cease to come within the scope of the Compulsory Courses,

38

and during Session 1940-41, 39 girls and 25 boys left the courses forthis reason. This is only one source of the decline; the other consistsin the number of students reaching 14 years who are not, therefore,obliged to join. No remedy for this defect can be found until theBorough boundary is extended to include such housing schemes.

In addition to the number of students enrolled in the CompulsoryCourses, 442 boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 16 followedwhole-time day courses either at the Crawford Technical Institute orthe School of Commerce and Domestic Science. Furthermore thebetter type of student who joined the Compulsory Courses and whowas not in employment was encouraged to take a whole-time daycourse instead. For this purpose scholarships were offered by theVocational Education Committee to them, entitling them to freeadmission to the Course and a sum of money for the purchase of thebooks required. In this way 4 boys and 23 girls were transferred towhole-time day courses at the School of Commerce and DomesticScience during Session 1940-41. In addition 7 boys and 8 girls wereinduced to return to the Primary Schools.

The Curriculum for Session 1940-41 varied in one important respectfrom that in force in the other two sessions: provision was made forReligious Instruction. A chaplain was appointed by His Lordshipthe Bishop, and the excellence of his work was reflected not only in theimproved discipline of the students, but also by their attendance andconduct at a Retreat specially arranged for them. Furthermore, whenthe groups nearing 16 years were about to leave the course, the Chap-lain arrranged for a series of special lectures to them by other priestswith whom they were likely afterwards to come in contact.

The efficiency of the instruction in all subjects was generally good.As in previous sessions, a high standard was reached in DomesticEconomy.

As a result of a Conference held during the previous session, theCompulsory Course was broadened during session 1940-41 by theinclusion of a series of extern lectures and visits. The lectures, manyof which were illustrated by lantern slides, covered a wide range ofsubjects of general interest to the students. Visits were paid to thelocal Technical Institutes to bring before the young students, thefacilities for further education which were at their disposal. Educa-tional and Art Exhibitions were also included in the list.

A very valuable innovation was the formation of voluntary classesin Physical Training, Choral Singing, Dancing and Drama. Theseclasses held in the evenings, mainly at the other Technical Institutes,were offered freely to those who chose to come. The fact that so manyof these Compulsory Course students responded to the first offer ofvoluntary instruction is one of the hopeful results of the training theyare receiving. It is opening their minds to the need for acquiringknowledge of a useful type, which cannot fail to exercise a healthy

39

influence on their outlook in life-hitherto so restricted. From thesevoluntary classes spring several useful results during the Session.The play" Lord Edward Fitzgerald " was produced publ~c1y on t~onights and got a good reception. Three concer:s were given durmgthe session and at various concerts and entertainments there was adisplay by the Ceilidh the Dancing group.

In the Annual Report for 1939-40, an account was given of theScholarship Scheme arranged for those who were leaving the Compul-sory Courses on attaining the age of 16 years. During Session 1940-41,the Principals of the Technical Institutes interviewed 102 boys and108 girls for this purpose. Scholarships to the Technical Institutewere offered to 54 boys and 8 girls, and were accepted by 43 boys and5 girls. Scholarships to the School of Commerce and Domestic Sciencewere offered to 18 boys and 75 girls, and were accepted by 12 boys and62 girls. The Principal of the Technical Institute reported that 8 ofthe boys had done well enough to be eligible for admission to Special-ised Courses in Session 1941-42. The Principal of the School of Com-merce stated that 22 girls and 5 boys are due for promotion to a higherclass in Session 1941-42.

The employment bureau established in connection with the Com-pulsory Courses found employment for a number of boys and girlsduring the session.

A valuable series of demonstrations in Emergency Cookery wasgiven by the Domestic Economy Teachers to the parents of studentsattending the Compulsory Courses. These demonstrations wereattended by 248 parents, who were supplied with free copies of usefulrecipes. Apart altogether from the undoubted value of these demon-strations to the parents, the demonstrators served the no less importantpurpose of bringing the parents into active contact with the Compul-sory Courses, and enabled them to realise for the first time the natureof the work that was being done for their children.

As a result of representations made to the Minister by the Limerick.luvenile Advisory Committee, it is intended to put Part V of theVocational Education Act, 1930, into operation in the County Bor-ough of Limerick during session 1942-43, and the necessary steps forthat purpose are now being taken.VlII.-School Buildings.

Because of the rising cost and scarcity of many important buildingmaterials, many Vocational Education Committees found it necessaryto postpone their building programmes during the emergency. Despitethese difficulties, five new schools were completed during Session1940-41 ; progress was being made in the erection of five other schools;and plans were being prepared for Vocational Schools in five othercentres.IX.-Special Courses lor the Training 01 Teachers.

A special course for the training of twenty teachers of Manual

40

Instruction (Woodwork) was begun in the National College of Art;Dublin, in session 1940-41. It followed along lines described in pre-vious Annual Reports. Satisfactory progress was recorded at theend of the session.

Inspectors of the Department conducted the usual short Summer-Course in Rural Science for students who had completed their coursefor the degree in Agricultural Science in the National University.The course was followed by 22 students, of whom 13 secured certifi-cates of satisfactory attendance. Several of these graduates subse-quently obtained posts as teachers of Rural Science in VocationaLSchools.X.-Irish Teachers.

At the Annual Congress of the Irish Technical Education Associa-tion held in June, 1939, a resolution was passed urging on the Depart-ment the desirability of establishing special long courses for the train-ing of teachers of Irish. In March, 1940, a deputation of the StandingCouncil of this Association met representatives of the Department andemphasised the necessity for starting such courses as soon as possible.At a subsequent conference in May, 1940, it was agreed to establishone such course, as an experiment. It was generally realised that anew type of teacher was necessary for the successul development ofthe Irish language, particularly in so far as adolescents and adultswere concerned. Something more than the mere teaching of Irish inafternoon and evening classes was essentiaL The proposed new Coursewas to prepare teachers to take an effective part in as many as possibleof the following functions :-

(a) to continue the work done for Irish in the pri-mary andsecondary schools;

(b) to promote the use of the language among the adult popula-tion and in particular to give lectures and conduct debates.with this in view;

(c) to foster Gaelic music, drama, dancing and games and toorganise social and cultural activities suited to a rural com-·munity;

(d) to establish a local feis and to help to build up a county-feis;

(e) to co-operate with Gaelic bodies such as the Gaelic League-and the Gaelic Athletic Association in fostering the Gaelicmovement.

A competitive examination for admission to the course was held in'January, 1941. It was confined to men between the ages of 22 and30, except, in the case of those already engaged in teaching, when themaximum age limit was increased to 35 years. Those who were suc-·cessful would receive free tuition, a return railway fare and a weeklyallowance, whilst in attendance at the course. The subjects of exami-nation were Irish and General Knowledge. In Irish the standard of

41

the test was that presented for the Teastas Muinteora Gaedhilge or theArd Teastas of the Department. There were two papers in GeneralKnowledge, one, in Irish, and one, in English. Candidates wererequired to take all papers.

A total of 211 applications were received and the written tests wereheld in the following centres :-Cork, Dublin, Galway, LetterkennyLimerick, Sligo, Tralee and Waterford. The first 50 candidates weresubsequently interviewed in Dublin, the interview being mainly con-ducted through the medium of Irish. Nineteen candidates wereselected for training and began their course early in March, 1941.

Through the co-operation of the City of Dublin Vocational Educa-tion Committee, accommodation for the course was provided at theBallsbridge Technical School, Dublin. Two specially selected teacherswere appointed to conduct the course and specialists were utilisedfor part-time instruction in Physical Training, Music, Drama, Note-taking and Blackboard Demonstration. Special lectures were alsoprovided in such subjects as Local Government, Economic Geography,Irish Economics, Archaeology, Irish Games and Organisation ofFeiseanna. Throughout the course, emphasis was laid on modernmethods of teaching, and teaching practice in local primary andtechnical schools was provided for those in training.

As a result of the examination held, at the end of the course inAugust, 13 students received Provisional Recognition as Teachersand 5 were accorded Temporaty Recognition. Thirteen of theseteachers are now employed by Vocational Education Committees.throughout the country.

XI.-Training Schools for Domestic Economy Teachers.There were 33 students in residence for the last session of the Irish

Training School of Domestic Economy at Kilmacud. At the finalexamination in June, 1941, the eleven students who had completedtheir third year of training, obtained the Teachers Diploma, two ofthem securing it with Distinction. The entrance examination for the1941 Course was attended by 235 candidates. In the subsequent com-petitive examination, of 183 candidates who competed, 24 wereadmitted to training. This and future courses are being held at theCollege of Domestic Science in Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin, underthe control of the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee.

At the Training College of Domestic Science, St. Catherine's Black-rock, 74 students were in attendance and of these 28 followed theteachers course.

]{II.-Residential Schools of Domestic Economy.Grants were paid for Session 1940-41 on 340 students in ten Resi-

dential Schools of Domestic Economy. Inspectors' reports indicatedthat the training in Domestic Economy subjects, and in Dairying and.Poultry-keeping was again of a high standard.

42

XllI.-Apprenticesbip Committees.Hairdressing Trade.-The training courses for first and second year

apprentices were organised as before at Capel Street Technical School.Attendance orders were served on twenty apprentices. The averageattendance at these classes was much better than during last Session.

In accordance with a recommendation made by the Committeeduring the previous session, examinations were held at the end of eachterm, and certificates and prizes awarded.

The question of organising classes for apprentices in the DunLaoghaire Borough area is under consideration.

Furniture Trade (Dublin).-Owing to difficulties experienced throughthe non-observance of rules regulating the educational qualificationsof ~pprentices, the educational rules were amended during the year.It IS now proposed that employees at entry to apprenticeship musthave

(a) the Primary School Certificate, or(b) Completed not less than one year's attendance at a whole-time

Junior Day Technical School course, conducted by a VocationalEducation Committee.

Exemption may be granted to an apprentice who possesses educationalqualifications recognised by the Minister for Education as beingreasonably equivalent to those set forth at (a) or (b.)

Courses of training for apprentices to Cabinet-Makins and FrenchPolishing were organised for the first time at Bolton Street TechnicalSchools. Attendance orders were served on 23 apprentices. Satisfac-tory progress was made at the Cabinet Making Course but it wasevident from the results of the course in French Polishing that instruc-tion in this trade is best given under factory conditions.

!urniture Trade (No. 2.)- The difficulties in regulating apprentice-~hI~ = the area controlled by thie Commit tee (all Ireland exceptDublin] have not yet been resolved, and the rules are still unconfirmed.Pai.n:ing and 1!.ecorating Trade-There has been no change in theposition as outlined in last year's Report.

CHAPTER IV.

NATIONAL COLLEGE OF ART.

The total number of students enrolled for the session was 521.a decrease of 7 as compared with last Session. Day classes weteat.tended by 247 students and Evening Classes by 326 students. The?lplomas of the National College of Art were awarded to one studentIn the School of Design in Industry and to three students of the School-of Pai.ntir:g. Students of the College secured 123 Certificates in theExaminationj, conducted by the Department of Education in May,

43

1941. The College suffered two serious losses during the session by thedeath of Mr. Oliver Sheppard, teacher of Modelling from 1901 to 1937and by the death of the Director, Mr. George Atkinson, who had beenconnected with the College for over 30 years.

CHAPTER V.

NATIONAL MUSEUM.

I.-Irish Antiquities Division.Acqnisitions.-During the year under review 1,063 objects and

groups of objects were acquired of which 62 were presented and theremainder (including the Morris Collection) purchased from theMuseum Grant-in-Aid at a total cost of £482 9s. 6d. Additions madeby the Royal Irish Academy were a gold fibula, under Treasure Troveregulations, a food vessel and a powder-horn; and contributions towardsnecessary field-work were received from the same body.

The number of acquisitions was greatly in excess of that of formeryears, due mainly to the increased tillage and turf production; andthough this added considerably to the work to be done by a depletedstaff, the cataloguing and registration of lantern slides and negativeswas continued.

Excavations under the Government Relief of Unemployment,Scheme continued on a somewhat reduced scale, but a large proportionof the finds has so far not been received at the Museum.

Lectures were delivered at various Dublin and provincial centres byofficers of the Division and scientific papers on archaeological subjectswere contributed to learned societies and journals.

An exhibition of Irish Folk-culture materials which had recentlybeen erected was dismounted and temporarily stored; the space thusfreed was devoted to a temporary exhibition to mark the occasionof the 25th anniversary of the 1916 Insurrection.

II.-ART Mil) INDUSTRIAL DIVISION.The period under review was characterised by the rearrangement of

several exhibits to take the place of material removed to storage becauseof emergency conditions and by the great extension of the Historicaland National Independence Collections to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Rising of 1916. The flow of acquisitions wasmaintained and routine work in connection with the re-classificationof material was continued.

The Special Exhibition of the Irish Histotical and National Inde-pendence Collections was opened on Easter Satrrday, 1941, by theMinister for Education accompanied by the Minister for Defence and

enat or Margaret Pearse. The Exhibition involved the transfer of

44

the permanent exhibits which form these two Collections to new-venues in the Rotunda and Central Court of the Museum. A requestfor further material for exhibition received a generous response from-the public, many new items were added to the Historical Collection andthe number of exhibits in the National Independence Collection waspractically doubled. An important group of documents and otheritems relating to 1916 was presented by An Taoiseach and portraitsof the Irish leaders lent by the National Gallery.

The Historical material in the Rotunda was arranged so as to forma prelude to the later exhibits in the Central Court, emphasis beingplaced on the national background of the social and political move-ments of the late 18th and the 19th centuries. The National Inde-pendence Collection, with its centre piece emblematic of the EasterRising, was disposed with regard both to chronology and the person-alities of the movement. Uniformity was achieved throughout, bothin the types of exhibition case used and in the labelling and mounting,practically all of which last was renewed for the Exhibition. The-Museum's collection of historic flags was suitably displayed for thefirst time, and an extended scheme of decoration was evolved withthe national colours as its keynote. Plants, curtains and insignialdecorations were supplied by the Office of Public Works. The attend-ance of the public testified to the popularity of the Exhibition bothas a commemorative effort and as an historical review.- Other exhibits which were systematically reorganised included

those of the Indian and Middle Eastern Collections and the SilverCollection. The former group, located in the Indian Room, was com-pletely overhauled, the cases being rearranged and the items entirelyre-labelled. Some Burmese items formerly exhibited with the Chinese'Collection were transferred to the Indian Room and separate exhibitswere formed for the Persian, Tibetan and Cingalese material. Re-organisation in the Silver Collection included the registration, re-grouping and re-labelling of the Milton Collection of 185 items, lentby the Trustees of the National Gallery. These items were placed on-exhibition on the west side of the main gallery in substitution forsilver which, as mentioned in the last Report, was removed to store.

Work was continued on the Military Uniforms Collection, latelyremoved to the passage leading from the Chinese Room. The tempo-rary exhibit to illustrate the history of Irish railways was maintained'throughout the period. The Collection of Wrought Ironwork wasfully overhauled and many pieces mounted on the walls of the gallery;an arrangement which contributed greatly to the clarification of thematerial. In the Furniture Collection many old labels were renewed-and the whole scheme of labelling checked with the registers ofmaterial.

In the Philatelic Collection particular attention was devoted to-European countries and the French Colonial Empire, and stamps of

45

these countries were mounted up to date. It was decided temporarilyto suspend exhibition of these items owing to emergency conditions.

The card indexing of the Arms and Medal Collections was carriedforward, and in the Arms Collection steps were taken to accumulatematerial for a series of sectional exhibits of firearms to show thedevelopment of gunlocks.

Several important works of restoration were undertaken, includinga valuable Coromandel screen deposited by the Office of Public Works,a rare collection of petit point chair-panels of the Stuart period acquiredmany years ago in the form of a screen, the collection of Continental,carved-wood crib-figures and a carved wood ship's figurehead. Much-of the upholstery of the Furniture Collection was cleaned or otherwiserestored.

lII.-NATURAL HISTORY DIVISION.The quaternary research in poilen analysis of peat came to an end

after a few months' work owing to the resignation on marriage of theofficer who attended to it.

Part of the Murray herbarium of South African flowering plantswas incorporated in the general collection. The mounting of Irishand foreign flowering plants was continued. About 250 specimensof Irish Fungi were collected, arranged and added to the herbarium.

A collection of Irish and Foreign Mycetozoa made by him waspresented by the late Mr. W. F. Gunn who had carried out extensivesurveys of this group in the country.

The arrangement which existed in previous years for the sorting ofbones on the site of excavations conducted at Lough Gur, Co. Limerick,by Professor S. P. 0 Riordain of University College, Cork, was con-tinued and, as a consequence, a quantity of bones of bear, horse, ox,pig, sheep and other wild and domestic animals was added to theosteological collections. The systematic grouping of these was con-tinued in new cases which were added to the exhibition galleries.The exhibits of cave and other fossil bones in the Irish room were

48

replaced with material of Irish Arnphibia, Reptiles, marine and fresh-water Molluscs of economic interest and other land and sea slugs.

20 life history exhibits of fishes and insects were received on transferfrom the Fisheries branch of the Department of Agriculture.

Further progress was made in the arrangement of the Halidaycollection of Insects. The revision of the Beetles and the ParasiticWorms was continued. A gap in the group of Aphides was filled onthe acquisition by purchase of an important representative collectionwhich was incorporated with the plant lice.

As in former years, numbers of specimens were identified andreports on them furnished for official purposes and to members of thegeneral public.

CHAPTER VI.

NATIONAL LIBRARY.The Library was open on 284 days, having been closed, in addition

to the usual public holidays, for twenty-four days in August forcleaning and re-arrangement. The number of readers, as recordedby the Signature Book, amounted to 50,504, made up as follows:Ordinary days, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 33,479; 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. 14,235 ;Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2,790. The average for Ordinary dayswas thus 202.17, for Saturdays 58.12. The figures are somewhatlower than those for the previous year. This is due to the fact thatowing to shortage of staff it had not been found possible to open theLibrary from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays duringthe second half of the year.

The year's accessions of printed books and pamphlets, newspapers,etc., amounted to 11,148, of which 1,570 were received under theIndustrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Act. All of thesehave been catalogued or otherwise made available for consultation.

49

The Trustees desire here to draw particular attention to the followinggifts :-

From Mr. F. O'Kelley several hundred volumes of books, manyextremely rare, printed in Ireland or of other Irish interest. Thesebooks having been collected over a long period by a recognised autho-rity on Irish bibliography, form a notable addition to the collectionof works printed in Ireland.

From Mr. Joseph Holloway, several further instalments of books,drawings, diaries, and manuscripts relating to theatrical art andliterature. These included manuscript lists of plays presented in thevarious Dublin theatres over a long period of years. The work ofarranging and binding the pieces in this collection has gone on through-out the year, and is still in progress.

From Mr. Ciaran Barrett, minute books and other manuscriptsrelating to the early history of the Gaelic League and the GaelicUnion.

From Dr. F. S. Bourke, rare books including a signed copy ofMcDonagh's "The Golden Joy."

As III previous years the principal grounds for committal were~rceny, housebreaking, shopbreaking, petty theft, and wilful damage.

ne boy was committed for refusing to conform to the Rules of anIndustrial School.

50

There has been an increase in the number of children under deten-tion in Industrial Schools-6,593 (3,020 boys and 3,573 girls) on 31stJuly, 1941, as compared with 6,434 (2,904 boys and 3,530 girls) on31st July, 1940. Committals, re-admission from licence, etc. for theyear ending 31st July, 1941, were 1,077 (604 boys and 473 girls) anddischarges and releases on licence, 918 (488 boys and 430 girls).

Committals under the School Attendance Act, 1926, amount to11.4 per cent. of the total as compared with 9.8 for the previous year.The number committed increased from 110 to 122. The number ofchildren committed during the year for offences punishable in the caseof adults with imprisonment was 112 or 10.5 per cent. of the total.The number for the preceding year was 147 or 13.1 per cent of thetotal number committed.

Standard of Educaiion.-Of the total number admitted to Reforma-tory Schools (100) 93 were over the age of 14 years, of these 67 wereconsidered as being proficient in reading and writing, education in theremaining cases being in a very backward state. Committals toIndustrial Schools included 283 children not of school going age(under the age of six), and 1 child over the age of 14 years subse-quently discharged owing to the invalidity of the Detention Order.Of the remaining 782, 226 or 28.9 per cent. were found to be illiterateon admission, 259 or 33.1 per cent could read and write imperfectly,192 or 24.5 per cent were moderately proficient in reading and writing,97 or 12.4 per cent, could read and write well, and the remaining 8had reached a high standard of general education.

General.-In August, 1940, the Boys' Reformatory was transferredfrom Glencree, Co. Wicklow, to more commodious and suitable pre-

51

rnises at Daingean, Offaly, known as St. Conleth's, where considerablestructural alterations and additions are being carried out at Stateexpense with a view to improving the premises for the purposes of aReformatory.

The Children Bill amending the Children Act, 1908, was introducedin Dail Eireann in December, 1940, and passed its final stages in June,1941. Its main provisions concern the grounds of committal of child-ren and young persons to Reformatory and Industrial Schools, theirages at committal and periods of detention, and general administrativeclauses dealing with the control and finances of these schools.

A scheme for the partial payment by the Department of the salariesof teachers of literary subjects in Reformatory and Industrial Schoolswho are accorded teaching status under the National School Programmehas been put into operation.

CHAPTER VIII.

ENDOWED SCHOOLS.

General.The administration of the trusts of the various schemes, subject

to the control of the Minister for Education under the EducationalEndowments (Ireland) Act, 1885, proceeded in a normal mannerduring the year under review, no matter of unusual character havingarisen for decision.

In general, the powers and duties of the various Trustees andGoverning Bodies were exercised and discharged in a regular way inaccordance with the provisions of the respective endowment schemes.The reports and other returns required under the schemes wereproperly compiled and duly furnished to the Department, except ina few cases to which special attention is being given.

The reports of the Inspectors appointed by the Minister forEducation, as well as the abstracts of accounts and reports furnishedby the Auditors, indicate that, in substantially all cases, the propertyand funds of the endowments were satisfactorily managed in accor-dance with the statutory regulations, that the schools were efficientlyconducted and that the various buildings and equipment were main-tained in good condition and repair.

Endowments directly controlled by the Minister for Education.The number of Endowments directly controlled by the Minister
