TEMUKA TECHNICAL CLASSES.

'Thu cvenine drcssi!;«.king . class in connection with the Tcmiika Technical .School opened Ifvsl ~n ight ; and, in spite of the cold and da'mp, several ladies attended find got straight to, ’the work (d making their llr^t/pattern. The. instructress, Miss Smith, . was . kept very busy, and evidently intends her ..pupils; to-' lose no time. Blouses, skirls,, full dresses, 'under-, vwear, and children’s .clothes will .bp made; and. at the end of the lerm the students will have not only a good stock of clothing, but also the' now-ledge of how to make more- of the same kind. .It is to be hoped that smother • two or three will enrol, as this, class was formed especially for the convenionco-'of those who cannot attend the day classes. The class room is very cheerful and is well lighted, and -a 1 good big lire is kept on for the comfort of the ladies. The instructress will be in attendance Wet or lino, and as she is hot. part icnhjr to a quarter »pL .anShour otj twenty minutes,,popils. Jan/rely oil get ting' good value for their moh'iiy find ' a good, insight, .into the art of cuttingout and jilting.. The class will meet again next Monday at 7 p.m. In tlie commercial class last evening, .Mr Bnist continued his lessons in book-keeping, typewriting, etc., and judging by his enthusiasm, his pupils can depend on 'making rapid progress. Both commercial classes have room for a few more pupils, and it is a pity that'our young people do not join while they have such good opportunities. Very few towns of the size of Tomuka can boast of such facilities for obtaining instruction in technical education.
