not less than £100, are less than one-third of the whole body of teachers ; and those whose salaries are not less than £200 (the maximum salary being £475 18s.) are one-eleventh of the whole.

TABLE L.—Salaries of Teachers, December, 1888.

Excluding pupil-teachers and sewing-mistresses, the number of appointments stated in Tables X and L is 1,926 ; but as two of the posts in Otago were vacant the number of persons represented in those tables is 1,924. At the time to which these tables relate, 1,498 of this number were certificated teachers ; 45 had passed the examination for certificate, but bad not received certificates, either because marks had not been assigned to them by an Inspector, or because the required service (of two years) had not been completed; 137 had been so far successful at examination as to be registered for " partial pass "; 85 were candidates who had failed at certificate examinations; and 161 were persons who had never been examined by the Department. Table M shows the distribution of certificated and uncertificated teachers in the several districts. In Otago, out of 352 teachers, there is but one who has not at least obtained partial pass ; while in some of the districts the proportion of teachers who have failed, or have never tried to obtain a certificate, exceeds one-third, and in one case is very nearly one-half.
