TECHNICAL SCHOOL CROWDED.

PUPILS TUHNED AWAY,

The crowded state of tho local Tpcbnk on J School is commented u, on i:n a c-lio-t presented to the lndiisLu.il Associaiiun art evening by o. conuiimto «'»'• in;; of Messrs. Smith, A. II W.

".Mr. J.a 'J'robe informed the committee," the report of Hint bod.V continues, "Unit he was reluctantly compelled y J rot use f'omo who recently .sought adniission to the Shorthand and 'i'yjiewritllifc Classes, aho to some other classes. 1110 board's committee is treating lor accommodation cit the Y.M.C.A. Building. J h® iward alreadv lias n room in Willisntrec*, ami it goes without saying that the mere the school becomes disjointed the u.oro unsatisfactory it is for the director ami his instructors. The Dressmaking t. assworn was visited, 'i'be class was w«l attended. This room is over the Tiluinbiiiff workshop, and when Iho workshop is occupied by the plumbing students tlio dressmaking clusscs cannot be held. It is already remarkable to see th,o gold work which is being done under the iiinl;<'shil't arniiigenients, which tlio director and stall' are culled upon to contend with."

The commiltoo concluded by expressing a hope that tho present cramped condition of the school would not continue much longer. The only was, of coursc, a new site aud a specially designed building. Mr. fsmi.Hi mentioned that since tho report was written the Technical Kducalioil Board had secured rooms at the Y.M.C.A, at a rent of about £WQ a year.
