TECHNICAL COLLEGE

ANNUAL BREAKING-UP CEREMONY DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES MAYOR’S ADVICE TO PUPILS The annual prize distribution to pupils of the Wellington Technical College took place at the Town Hali yesterday, in conjunction with the break-ing-up ceremony for the summer holidays. Mr. W. H. Bennett, chairman of the Technical College Board of Governors, presided over a large attendance, the Council Chamber being taxed to its utmost capacity. He was supported by the Mayor (Mr. G. A. Troup), the principal (Mr. J. H. Howell), and members of the board and of the college. Good Year’s Work. The chairman expressed his pleasure that the year’s work was a matter of great satisfaction to them all. Regarding the holidays, the break-up had taken place a little later than usual, bur it had been done in order to conform with the wish of the Department that there should be uniformity in the closing of the schools. It would be made up to the scholars some time later in the New Year. The board desired to express its appreciation of the valuable help given by the advisory committees, and also of the splendid services of the principal and the whole staff of the college. Never had it achieved so high a standard. Advice From the Mayor. The Mayor congratulated the chairman of the board and members upon what had been accomplished during the year, and said they must be fully satisfied with what they were doing. He further congratulated the principal and staff upon the success of their efforts, for he was sure there was no better principal in New Zealand. That the college would continue to grow was undoubted, for even now there were 3000 pupils, including day and night classes. The large attendance of parents showed the interest they were taking in the education of their children, which was better than any sum left to them later in life. The boys and girls were now entering upon their holidays, and he advised them to lock up their books and not think of learning during the holiday period, but to go in for healthful bodily exercise, so that they would return to school after the holidays fit and well to profit by further teaching. He was not too sure that prize distributions were always to be commended, although in the. long run they probably all .received their deserts. Matter of Justice. “We often have a lot of people coming to us at the Town Hall demanding justice for themselves without thinking anything about justice to others,” continued the Mayor. “In giving to them we might be doing an injury to others. When you go into the world, don’t make too great demands on justice for yourself, but decide that you will be fair and just to others.” When they left school they would not have finished with education. The two years they had spent in college was but the foundation, and they would go on building one story upon another through life. Pernicious “Go-slow.” Speaking to the young men, Mr. Troup said: “I advise you to work hard. There is too much of the ‘go-slow’ policy becoming prevalent in our midst, and if New Zealand is to be great it will be largely by the hard work we are putting into it. You will achieve nothing by looking on. You will never achieve manhood and womanhood by doing as little as you can; by throwing yourselves earnestly into your work, doing as much as you can, even more than is expected of you, you will raise New Zealand to a greater and higher plane in the Pacific Ocean.” (Applause.) The Mayor also spoke on character building, urging them to take a stand for

honesty, uprightness and integrity. In conclusion he wished them a most enjoyable holiday. Two popular school songs, “On the Ball” and “Forty Years On,” were rendered by the scholars, accompanied by the school orchestra, and Miss Marie Melville gave her champion public speech on "Jack Cornwell.” The distribution of prizes was undertaken by the Mayoress, Mrs. Troup. The proceedings closed with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne” and the National Anthem.
