TECHNICAL COLLEGE

ADDITIONS TO BE MADE

PRIZE-GIVING CEREMONY

Technical College pupils and their nei friends assembled yesterday afternoon ma iv the Concert Chamber for the annual „"[' prize-giving ceremony. ' Mr. W. H. c<* Bennett, chairman of the college Board fir; of Governors, presided, and others ou * the platform were the Mayor (Mr. G. nIE A. Troup), Mrs. Troup,' Mrs. Bennett, «" Mr. J. H. Howell (Director), Mrs. {{■> Ho well, Mr. G. L. Stewart (Education c". Board), and Mr. P. Fraser, M.P. nl , Mr. Bennett scored a round of ap- ?," plause from the pupils when ho told m, them that, although they had been kept fir at school a week longer than the other colleges because the board had agreed "li to fall in with the Department's wish fir that all schools close on the same date, ? r the board would see that the time c " would be niado up to them later. The work done in the college, said Mr. a" Bennett, had reached a better standard jd than ever before, reflecting credit on m< staff and students. He referred to the indebtedness of the school to the th Advisory Committees, and later made '» the pleasing announcement that Cab- Einet, on the recommendation of tho Si Minister of Education (the Hon. H. ca Atmore), had approved a substantial .. grant for additions to the Technical "l College. At a call from Mr. Howell, th the pupils gave three rousing cheers '? for the Minister. |Jj Mr. Troup'said that as Mayor of the city he was proud to acknowledge the J'1 service to the city of the chairman and a" the Board of Governors of the college, si He also thanked Mr. Howell and his '* staff for the civic work they were gi doing in giving technical instruction. There was no better principal in tho J" whole of Now Zealand than Mr. Howoll. gj Mr. Troup also congratulated tho par- \\ cuts on attending in larger numbers s' than formerly. He urged the scholars, al when they left school, not always to'ci be concerned with getting justico for themselves, but always to bo just to others. Thoso that wcro leaving mightthink that they were done with education, but they were not. They might leave school, but they did" not leave education, because, although they had, as the chairman had explained, laid the foundation of their lives at school, there wero many stories to add to it as thoy grew older. Education also meant training every part of the body and all tire faculties, and it helped tho heart so that they might considor kind ly the affairs of others, and through the spirit it taught them to aspire to something higher. Mrs. .Troup presented the prizes, and the old songs "On the Ball" and "Forty Years Ago" were snug by tho pupils. Marie Melville delivered her champion speech on the Jutland hero, Cornwell, and the school orchestra played several pieces, "Auld Lang Syne" concluding the ceremony. In presenting his eleventh annual report on the work of the college, Mr. Howell referred to the late Mr. Ballinger, who took a keen interest in all the school's activities, and to the late Mr. A. D. Kiley, who for nearly 20 years spent himself in laying soundly the foundations of technical education in the city. When the history of technical education in New Zealand came to be written the part that Mr. Riley played would be recognised as of very great value not only to Wellington but to the Dominion. Tho enrolment during the year had been as follows: In the Technical High School 855, as compared with 833 last year; in the evening school, 1748, as compared with 1641; and in the art school 356, as compared with 332. The total enrolment for all departments was 2959, as against 2795 for 1928, the increase in the number of individual students being 164. There was striking evidence of the, strong appeal the work of the college^was making on parents and visitors' evening, when the college was inspected by from 1500 to 2000 visitors, and on all sides surprise at the variety and praise for the quality of the work were expressed. Over 1700 young people had undertaken a course of training at the evening school, and in giving them this, the college was rendering a real social service, for the effort to acquire knowledge and skill . that would be of use in their daily calling was in itself a factor working towards the development of character along the best lines.
