TECHNICAL COLLEGE

ACTIVITIES OF TOE YEAR PRINCIPAL’S REPORT An interesting review of the progress of technical education in Dunedin is given by the principal of the King Edward Technical College (Mr W. G. Aldridge) in his annual report, which was presented at the meeting of the Board of Managers yesterday. Mr Aldridge prefaced his report by paying the following tribute to the memory of Mr G. M. Thomson: “This year’s report may fitly begin by recording the college's lasting indebtedness to its founder, George Malcolm Thomson, whose death occurred in September last. The board believes That to big pioneer labours not only thia institution, but many another in New Zealand, owes its inception. Technical education was one of the causes that lay very near to his heart. He had the rare reward in his own lifetime of seeing his self-sacri-ficing efforts crowned with the. success and vigour of present-day technical schools. There remain with those who knew him the knowledge -of his devotion lo the work of setting this college on its feet and memories of a friend whose name stands written far and wide as 1 one who loved his fellow-men.’ If, as the board would hope,, something of that opirit may some. , day live- in the then will be :‘»f ; new reason Adr lasting gratitude to its founder.” During 1933, the report continues, the board felt the full effect of the economies imposed on it during the past three years. In that time its income has been halved. During the first two of these years there followed the, necessity. of curtailment of Staff, postponement of capital improvements, and many internal savings. But once) the full extent of reduction in annual grants was apparent the board refused to be Haunted any further, and set itself to lift the college out of the stagnation that threatened it, confident that in the end such a policy would show itself to be- the right one. The hoard has come to look upon itself as being seriously at fault unless every year can be plainly marked by sOme step forward, or at least by consolidation of uncertain gains of the past. The total number enrolled in the Technical High School was 779, 60 fewer than last year. By December 5 this number had shrunk to 543. It is obvious that the roll is subject to violent fluctuation. and as the explanation raises questions of unusual public interest,', a statement of some length at this point seems .justified. One must consider; not only the supply of passes from the primary school and the opportunities offering in industry, but must gauge the anxiety of parents and tbeir many changes oi opinion in' regard to the future of their boys and girls, especially the latter. For figures relating to primary school leavers I am indebted to the courtesy of the Dunedin Vocational Guidance Committee, from whose inquiry into school records for the Dunedin urban area (Logan Point-Wakari-Look-out Point-Anderson’s Bay) it appears that 947 boys and girls were due to leave primary schools at the end of 1932. Expressed to the nearest percentage their educational qualifications and their immediate destinations were found to .be as follow:—Seventy-one gained proficiency, 13 gained competency, 6 failed in Standard VI, 10 were below Standard VI, 68 went to a higher school. 6 went back to primary school, 8 found work, 15 went home, 3 were not traced. Of the 68 who entered secondary schools the Technical School received 30, or 44 per cent, of the total secondary school entries; about three of the original 100 entered evening classes. It ie clear at once 'that the result of the proficiency test is the principal factor in determining a child's immediate future, and tffat the Technical High School plays a part in youth, work, in Dunedin important enough to warrant .the Introduction of tlie primary school pupil into the building as part of his general education. On parents’ visiting day it has now become a fairly regular custom for Standard Vi pupils to visit us, and this year, when classes were seen actually at work in practical rooms and hall, the occasion was really memorable, thanke to the splendid co-operation of the headmasters and the wonderful behaviour of the 700 visiting children. .The number of new pupils enrolled — namely, 374—exceeds that for 1932 by 10, but is 17 smaller than for 1931. Compared with. the total number of proficiency passes for Otago (which, has fluctuated considerably in, the last three years) it still shows a’ tendency to increase. Separating figures for boys and girls, one finds that the number of the former is steadily increasing, v but that of the latter is unsteady, . possibly because parents are less certain of what career .their .daughters: should ultimately follow. With returning confidence in trade it seems likely; that more girlg may be expected on our rolls in. the near future.

The number of boys entering our trades courses,: ia steady, , and the number of .iris entering our domestic course continues, 'to, increase, but there is a tremendous variation in the enrolments of both boys and girls for commercial courses. : It . should be stressed that good boys and'girls are being needed in positions that lead to responsibility, and that there never was a time in which such boys’ and girls were more likely to be accepted. in ; Dunedin solely on their per-sonal-merit, It does seem absurd, but it is a fact, that recently we have not been ■able" to supply superior boys for office work.. 1 The same has been true for some weeks in regard to girls for dressmaking positions. In all, we lost 18 per cent, of first-year and 37 per cent, of dur second-year, roll during the session. The truth 1 is that, in spite of the reduction in the, ,age of leaving primary •schools, the average length of stay at the school ha 6 increased hardly at all. It is still' only live terms—Jess than two years. And, far from there being a tendency to accumulate seniors in the school, the inroads are . being made into our roll faster than we can train pupils. This is due, in some eases, to the dire necessity of accepting work at the earliest opportunity, but in others, I fear, to something akin to panic. No school can make its mark on pupils unless it be granted a full two years in which to train them, and I hope that before long parents and employers may make that a general custom for pupils of any degree of promise. In this connection it is gratifying to know that the Education Department will before long issue details of a scheme for a new school certificate examinatw,. Opportunities for senior instruction id modern subjects are likely to be widened, making it, possible for the ablest boys and girls in technical high-, schools. to receive credit for work done-■■ in <; their own courses, without being forced into the harrow matriculation groove. But it will be disastrous if other special opportunities are not provided for pupils of different fibre. Examinations are for the few, and it is utterly wrong, as the recent compulsory intermediate test showed, to confuse ability in a written test with fitness to profit by further school training. It is the earnest hope of all technical schools that 1 there will accompany this new examination a new set of senior free place regulations that will encourage the nonexamination pupil along the line to which he is specially suited, and that even boys and girls with no particularly evident ■school ability may be provided with oversight and the maximum amount of guidance, until trained and wisely fitted into a place in a world that is yearly becoming more difficult for them. How these desirable changes may be brought about without additional expense is already being suggested to the department by the united technical schools, but details would be out of place here. It is enough to say that the last-mentioned group would not be expected to remain fulltime at school for even the suggested minimum period of two years, that the middle group would receive free education only so long, as they chose their curriculum wisely, and that the ablest boys and girls would receive as full recognition of their progress as is now the prerogative of the matriculated pupil. At first view the evening class work for the year seems really disappointing. In the last four years enrolments have dwindled from 1345 to 1058, involving temporarily the abandonment of much useful teaching and parting with some of our best instructors. The aspect of junior classes in some departments has completely changed; rolls have shrunk, pass lists are depressing in quality as well as in length; hardly a single student can be found with both the persona! merit and the qualification by occupation for the award of a Callander scholarship; and the supply of seniors

by promotion in evening class work only is much reduced. The number of senior free places to be awarded is the lowest for many years, and fourth-year extensions of these are. no longer countenanced by the Education Department. And while present trade conditions continue only youths of real grit can withstand the example of such of their fellows as find in time of depression a justification for less personal effort and a general loosening of self-discipline. But closer observation reveals many, heartening facts. The figures supplied by the Vocational. Guidance Committee indicate that there are comparatively few young people who are not receiving some schooling past the primary stage. The great majority are, then, benefiting by fuller opportunities than evening classes alone could give, and the fall in our own junior pass lists merely indicates that many a good student is being taught elsewhere. Again, transfers from our own day school to evening classes show a marked increase, especially in the latter port of the year, and these will supply many of our best seniors. From both high schools entries of \ superior students have been frequent. Indeed, it seems likely that the evening school is merely going through a critical stage in its development that has been expected for some time past, namely, giving up junior work to take up senior work. ; As for the sparse junior trade classes, when these revive there seems good reason to hope that they will be filled by students better selected than they have been in the past, and already partly trained in preparation for their evening studies. The senior classes have continued to show- that vitality which is the bust single test of the worth of part-time technical teaching. There toulcl be no Better illustration of this than the keeniness shown by .members of the new class in engineering; laboratory work, -practically all of whom gave up their fourth evening a week—and that the seductive Friday—to attend it. Senior commercial classes continue to grow in strength. Junior accountancy work attracted an excellent group of students, causing the class in commercial law to be doubled; and there is an expaneling group which, realising the benefits of our orderly and careful treatment of bookkeeping, is anxious to come in beside those trained in our own day classes. The same is true, in shorthand and typewriting; in these classes the senior speed work particularly is producing excellent results. Salesmanship and business principles, Subjects in the serious treatment of which our college may justly claim to be a pioneer in New Zealand, continue to be well supported; each will extend to third year grade in 1934. Needlework and dressmaking classes are still strongly attended; indeed, to reduce the burden of evening teaching a Monday afternoon class in art needlework will be opened in 1934. In the Art Department interest in lettering and design shows no sign of flagging; the demand on our staff is too heavy to meet_ fully the special need for instruction in ticketwriting, in which, subject it is hoped to add a special class in 1934. The class in horticulture has responded excellently to the teaching of Mr O. C. Stephens, and with the co-operation of the local branch of the Institute of Horticulture it is-pro-posed next year to arrange for a senes ot lectures to be delivered by a panel of specialists, each upon a separate aspect of the subject. One of the great defects of evening class work is that it is for the most part confessedly utilitarian, and almost lacks those social and cultural elements that bind together the work of the day school. It is true that a few social opportunities occur in our junior English classes, and that in the senior literature class some play-reading is occasionally enjoyed, but outside these there is nothing, so little latitude do regulations and ’conditions of daily work permit. If it be found possible, it is the board’s intention to make available to evening students in some degree the benefits of school music. A class in vocal music is indeed permitted, but only as an extra subject in an approved course; instrumental music, the benefits of. which are more far-reaching if it cap i possibly be offered —and an attempt will certainly be made in that direction—falls quite outside any scheme of , which, .the department can approve. Here, is another instance of regulations made in a past generation becoming less suitable to the Jiext, yet still commending themselves to the central authority.

WORK FOR THE YEAR LIST OF PASSES * i The list of passes, representing the classification earned by pupils as a result of this year’s work at the Dunedin Technical High School, is given below. In general, pupils with first-class passes are eligible to be prepared for more difficult public examinations, if they so wish, and all; with first-class and second-class passes are entifled to promotion into the more advanced class of the nest higher grade. Of the remainder, the classification of the upper half of the pass group .remains doubtful, but it is almost certain that those whose names appear in the lower half of the group will be promoted to a class of intermediate standard. The issue of certificates is confined to students who have completed at least two years in one course, and who have a sufficiently good record of first or secondclass passes as well as an excellent record in industry and conduct. The list of passes in second year and senior classes is a rough guide to the list of certificates awarded, but should not be taken as an accurate list of certificate holders.
