H. Sheath, Chairman | » M Walter Fossey, Secretary] 01 Mana g ers - Extract fbom the Report of the Director of the Waipawa Technical School. The continuation classes which were opened at the beginning of the year had to be closed after a three-weeks trial, the number of pupils being below the minimum fixed upon by the Managers. An effort was made to open a class at Waipukurau for hygiene and first aid, but no pupils were forthcoming. A similar class was conducted for a term of twelve weeks at Waipawa, and was attended by seven students, who all through the term showed great interest both in the theoretical aud practical work of the class. Mr. Winlove, of Waipukurau, having offered free of charge the use of his workshop and plumbing appliances, and the pupils being supplied with material by their employers, a capable instructor was engaged and a class for plumbing was conducted during the last term of the year, but with the exception of four apprentices who had previously signified their desire for such a class no pupils offered themselves. This class was opened as an experiment, and the arrangement worked well, the only drawback being the dearth of pupils. As in previous years, the Education Board continued to carry out a wide and wellorganized syllabus of manual instruction in the school classes, which are conducted here under special instructors for three days a week. The subjects taught are woodwork, domestic science (including cookery and dressmaking), agriculture, dairy science, and the science of common life. John D. Watson, Director.

D. Watson, Secretary of Managers. Extract from the Eeport of the Governors of the Gisborne High School. Special classes in book-keeping, shorthand and typewriting were carried on at the Technical School, and the results were fairly satisfactory; the attendance, however, was rather disappointing. Classes in plumbing, both theoretical and practical, were also held, and the results were very satisfactory. Examinations in this subject under the auspices of the City and Guilds of London Institute and the Plumbers' Board of New Zealand were held. In the former five pupils (apprentices) gained passes in Grade I, two in Grade II (theory), one in principles of leadwork, Grade 11, and one in plumbers' work (practical), Grade 11. The result of the examination held by the Plumbers' Board is not yet to hand. Wool-classing at various centres throughout the district was also carried on, and the instruction was much appreciated by the farmers. The question of the continuance of these classes will be considered by the Board early in the coming year. The donations in aid of the classes from the Gisborne Borough and Cook County Council, the Gisborne Sheep-farmers' Meat Company, and the local Plumbers' Board of Control were much appreciated.
