DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR 1908. Tho following is the report of tho director-' of the Technical Classes for1903:—At the beginning of each, year there arc generally several changes in the teaching stalfj «nd this year, was no exception. Mr T. B. Hamilton, M.A., M.Sc, handed over tho chemistry class to Dr Don; Mr G. D. Ross_ having accepted a position in a commercial college. Miss A. M. Robertson becamo teacher of typewriting; Mr R. Monzics was appointed teacher of shorthand in place of Mr Norris Falla (resigned) j Misses M. E. Crawley and I. Gibson were added to tho staff as assistant teachers of cookery. During tho session Mr.G. F. Booth, 8.A., having been promoted .to the rectorship of the Port Chalmers School, resigned his position as teacher of the Latin classes, and was auooceded by Mr J. G. Patorson, M.A. At the beginning of the,6ccond term Mr D. Thomson nsked to be relieved, and Mr W. Chapman .thereafter acted as aesistant to Dr Don. 1 Tho staff throughout tho session consisted of 38 teaohors, During the year 86 separate classes recognised by the Education Department were conducted by the association. Seven of these, attended-by-a total of 93 studonts, wore hold at country, centres (Balclutha, Kaitangata, and ScaclilT). The 79 classes at Duncdin were registered as follow :— Continuntion, 17; commercial, 2l; technical, 35. The total number of individual pupils enrolled at Duncdin was 994, the (inures for the previous year being abb. Tho following list shows the number ot classes in the various subjects, with the attendances at these, for each term:— , Students, a g Classes. - "o h <S General education ; 18.. 14 English, senior (two classes) .. 66 .. 50 English, intermediate (tour classes) 154 .. 137 English, junior (two classes) .. .. 70.. 72 French, junior ...'..\ 9.. 9 French, senior 6 • 5 La-tin, renior ... ... •• •• •• 18 ... 12 Latin, junior 17 ~ 13 Elocution (two classes) 22 .. 9 Mathematics, junior .. .... 12 ... 11 Mathematics (senior) .. •• ..-_.. 12' • 12 Commercial arithmetic, junior (two classes) '.'. .. 73 .. 75' Commercial arithmetic, intermediate (two classes) .. .:.. .. 120 ,i 119 Commercial arithmetic, senior ' (two classes) '-':'.- ...... ..68 .. 60 -Typewriting'(six classes) .. ■.., ..-138 .. 120 Shorthand (eight classes) .. .... 164 .. 168 Commercial correspondence (two . classes) .;. . -. .. •■ '•• ... 94 .. 79 Commercial law .. 11 .. 9 Bookkeoping, senior and junior ■ (four classes) .. .. .. :. -.117 . .76 Physics (heat and electricity) ~ 11'.. 12 Chemistry ;..

The number of such places granted and actually entored upon was 347, . the figures being practically identical with those for 1907. Partial or total remission', of' fees was : granted to 29/ other students. The attendance at the afternoon classes was not so great ak last year, the proportion of country scholars being less. ' The suggestion is again made that hotter prevision should be mado to meet the requirements of this spscial clnss. It here seems a fitting place to direct 'attention to the nnsnitability of railway timetable for evening pupils travelling by tlie Port Chalmers train. The' school oloses just after 9 o'clock, and students for ltavensbournePort Chalmers require to wait at the Dunedin .Raihyay Station till a quarter past 10. Owing.' to the 'poor support accorded the class for tailors' cutting and fitting, it was . considered inadvisable to continue, and the class was therefore abandoned. There were several other classes at Which (he attendance, especially during the second quarter, conld hardly be regarded as satisfactory. Those for painters' work, carpentry 1 , practical electricity, and physiology snowed the greatest falling off. Students of '.plumbing; have still a strong aversion to instruction in the theory of the subject, and are more often than not absent from that part of the course. When both branches of plumbing are taught on the same evenings there will bo no opportunity of attending the practical work anil evading the study of the principles. From the recently-published . University lists it is seen that the Technical School scholars granted free places by the profrssors have gained very creditable positions in respective classes. This of itself indicates that these ex-students of our scliooi are in a position to benefit by the opportunities so generously given by Professors Black, Gilray, and Shand. To these gentlemen for their continued offer the association owes some expression of appreciation. This year William Martin wins the free place in chemistry, Hugh R. Robertson that in physics, while- Brenda Morris arid Fanny Hubbard are equal for the English. The honorary examiners are also entitled to credit for much work performed, often at great personal sacrifice and inconvenience. The class lists are published separately. Several classes— namely, those tor practical plumbing, carpentry, physiology, and horticulture—were not examined for certificates. In conclusion, I have to thank members of the staff for ready and valuable assistance rendered mc on all occasions. Herewith are appendices giving analysis, ages, and occupations of students.
