TECHNICAL WORK

WELLINGTON COLLEGE

ACCOMMODATION TAXED

OVER 2000 STUDENTS

The school year of the Wellington Technical College was brought to a close yesterday afternoon when the presentation of awards for distinction in classroom and sports field .was made in the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall. The chairman of the Board of Governors (Mr. : W. H. Bennett) presided, and among those f resent were the Mayor (Air. T. C. A. Eislop), members of the college board and staff, and parents and friends of the students. Interspersed with the speeches there was singing by the boys' and girls' choirs, and by the whole school. In wishing those students who were leaving school the best of luck, the Mayor appealed to them to do their best to uphold the high tradition of their school. 11l his third annual report the principal (Mr. E. G. Eidling) said that at the beginning of the year the accommodation was fully taxed by an enrolment of 1124 fulltime students and 50' part-time, and art students during the day. The roll number in the evening school was lower than! last year, but the total number of day and evening students was 2272. Mr. Ridling expressed appreciation of the continued cooperation of botli the full-time and parttime staffs who had done a great deal to bring the work of the students as nearly as was possible to the experiences common to life. The results of-the year's work; had not been spectacular, but there had; been steady progress. Good results had been achieved in examinations, but the best results were the satisfaction of parents and employers. Other evidence of the work done during the year was pro* vided by the fact that in the engineering section the boys had designed and manufactured most of the new equipment required, including two lathes and a standard drfll. The students of the electrical section had fitted out their own workshops, repaired all equipment, and were now installing a public address radio system throughout the college. In the building section the boys had made the patterns for casting required by the .engineers, built or repaired all furniture required, made most of the joinery work for. a sports pavilion to be erected next year, and had erected a shelter shed in the grounds. PROGRESS IN ART. Some very definite progress had been made in the art school. The students had applied much of their work to the industrial activities and had set' on foot a Dominion-wide scheme for stimulating interest in New Zealand art and applying it to New Zealand industries. The home science section still cared for the health and 'well-being o£ all the students. Meals were provided daily for a large proportion of the students, and the dressmaking and millinery classes made garments for themselves and others. l Had it not been for the help received from the Mayor and City Council the physical culture activities would have had to be restricted, and he thanked the council for making reasonable success in all branches of sports possible for the college. The organisation of the work in the evening school presented some difficulties early in the year owing to the necessary amalgamation of certain industrial classes, 'but the students had quickly settled down to steady work. He stressed the importance of students, enrolling early and attending regularly. A course for radio servicemen had been introduced, and had proved very popular. An effort to establish a course in salesmanship had failed for lack of students. Mr. Ridling paid a tribute to the assistance received 'from the members of his advisory committees and to all others who had helped the college, particularly Mr. Bennett and the rest of the Board of Governors. All had combined to make the college an efficient instrument of educational progress. Mr. Bennett congratulated tile principal on his very fine report, and said it was an immense satisfaction to the Board of Governors to see so many ex-pupils of the college absorbed in industry. On the other hand it had been a disappointment that so many of the first-year students had left the college before their education had been completed. The system that had been adopted by the principal and his staff of enumerating, the qualifications and characteristics of pupils for their prospective employers had been of great service. He also paid a tribute to the work of the advisory committees. He appealed to the boys and girls to stick to their work so that they could derive the greatest advantage from their training, and reminded them that the future of the world lay to a great extent in the hands of thengeneration. The completion of their school training was really only the commencement of their education, and the older they got the more valuable would the knowledge they had received in the college become to them. The following prices were then presented by the two lady members of the board, Mesdames C. J. B. Norwood and A. McVicar:— SPECIAL AWARDS.
