58in schoolwork. In the case <strong>of</strong> the Shield for the girls' schools theholders <strong>of</strong> the Shield for <strong>1935</strong> succeeded in retaining it for <strong>1936</strong>. TheShield for the boys' schools was won by the school that held it in 1934.The Shields will eventually become the property <strong>of</strong> the schools towhich they have been most <strong>of</strong>ten awarded during the ten years <strong>of</strong>the competition.Eight medals-four gold <strong>and</strong> four silver-were awarded for excellencein Irish Composition at the Leaving <strong>and</strong> Intermediate CertificateExaminations in <strong>1936</strong>.Organised Visits to Public Institutions.In the <strong>Report</strong> for 1933-34, reference was made to the arrangementsfor the paying <strong>of</strong> visits by organised parties <strong>of</strong> pupils to the NationalMuseum, The National Gallery, The Botanic Gardens <strong>and</strong> The MunicipalGallery <strong>of</strong> Modern Art, <strong>and</strong> to the educational advantages tobe derived from such visits.In September, <strong>1936</strong>, Managers <strong>of</strong> Secondary Schools <strong>and</strong> Collegeswere informed that the Permanent Exhibition <strong>of</strong> Irish Manufactures,No. 3, St. Stephen's Green, Dublin, had been added to the list <strong>of</strong>Institutions to which such visits might be paid. In this Exhibitionare to be seen at a glance specimens <strong>of</strong> many <strong>of</strong> the articles producedin Saorstat Eireann. The displays include pottery, h<strong>and</strong>woventweeds, many food products, iron-work, etc. <strong>and</strong> are thoroughlyrepresentative. If desired, a short talk is given to the pupilson the extent <strong>of</strong> Industrial Development in the Country.Summer Courses in Irish.From the reports <strong>of</strong> the Inspectors in recent years it appeared that,with the great growth <strong>of</strong> Irish as a medium <strong>of</strong> instruction in SecondarySchools <strong>and</strong> Colleges, there was a possible danger <strong>of</strong> the intrusion <strong>of</strong>the sounds <strong>and</strong> idiom <strong>of</strong> English upon the sounds <strong>and</strong> idiom whichare native to the Irish Language. With a view to obviating anydanger <strong>of</strong> this kind <strong>and</strong> to afford teachers an opportunity <strong>of</strong> keepingin close contact with the language as spoken <strong>and</strong> written by the bestnative speakers, the <strong>Department</strong> organised in <strong>1936</strong> a three weeks'Summer Course conducted by pr<strong>of</strong>essors <strong>of</strong> repute who Were nativespeakers <strong>of</strong> Irish. The COursewas entirely devoted to training in thenative idiom <strong>and</strong> to practical phonetics.As an experiment the course was limited to 60 student-teacherswho were required to pay £2 lOs. each to defray the expenses <strong>of</strong> theCourse. The experiment was a complete success. Not only did thefull complement <strong>of</strong> 60 students attend the Course, but the <strong>Department</strong>was forced, with regret, to refuse a considerable number <strong>of</strong> applications.59The <strong>Department</strong> has decided to hold another Course in 1937 <strong>and</strong>its scope will be enlarged to provide for 80 students. The Coursewill be mainly on the same lines as the previous one.Plays in Irish.The temporary Inspector <strong>and</strong> organiser appointed by the <strong>Department</strong>in the school year 1934-35 to assist managers <strong>and</strong> teachersin the preparation <strong>and</strong> production <strong>of</strong> plays in Irish continued hiswork in <strong>1935</strong>--36. His report for the latter year shows that satisfactoryprogress was made in the majority <strong>of</strong> Secondary Schools=especiallyin the Convent Schools. Teachers were alive to the importance <strong>of</strong>the work in helping young students to become fluent speakers <strong>of</strong>Irish, <strong>and</strong> both pupils <strong>and</strong> teachers took a keen interest in it.The services <strong>of</strong> the Inspector are still available for managers <strong>and</strong>teachers desiring to make Irish plays a feature <strong>of</strong> the school curriculum.St<strong>and</strong>ardising Committees.St<strong>and</strong>ardising Committees were appointed for the purpose <strong>of</strong>advising the <strong>Department</strong> regarding the st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>and</strong> suitability <strong>of</strong>the papers set in Irish <strong>and</strong> History at the Certificate Examinations,<strong>1936</strong>.11.An ObA1R ms n e, S501teAnnA.15 be
