SCHOOL MANUAL TRAINING
Huge Demand Next Year Next year it is expected that 2655 girls and 2739 boys, other than those who would enrol at intermediate schools, would become eligible to receive homecraft and woodwork instruction at centres in or near Christchurch, so that all of these children can receive this instruction, it will be necessary to use not only the five city centres, but also Lincoln and Kaiapoi. Manual training teachers have agreed to operate what will (in a number of cases') be most unsatisfactory timetables, the Canterbury Education Board has been told. It was decided that, as the available city centres would be taxed to the utmost, the remodelling of the Phillipstown centre to provide three full-sized rooms for each subject was a matter of extreme urgency.
