During 1935 candidates for the City and Guilds Examinations were as follow Electrical Engineering Practice: Preliminary Grade (Direct Current) —Eiglity-seven sat, forty-three passed. Electrical Engineering Practice: Preliminary Grade (Alternate Current) —Nineteen sat, eleven passed. Electrical Engineering Practice: Intermediate Grade (Direct Current) —Forty sat, thirteen passed. Electrical Engineering Practice: Intermediate Grade (Alternate Current) —Twentyseven sat, eighteen passed. Electrical Engineering Practice: Final Grade —Ten sat, one passed. Radio Communication: Preliminary Grade —Two sat, one passed. Radio Communication: Intermediate Grade—One sat, one passed. Typography: Intermediate Grade, Section A (Compositors' Work) —One sat, none passed. Typography: Intermediate Grade, Section B (Machine and Press Work) —One sat, one passed. Typography: Final Grade, Section A (Compositors' Work)— One sat, none passed. Minor Course in Gas Works Practice: One sat, none passed. Technology and Chemistry of Oils, Fats, and Waxes: One sat, none passed. The total number of individual candidates was 166, of whom eighty were successful in passing in some section of the examination. As individual candidates are at liberty to enter for both sections of Grade I or Grade II of electrical-engineering practice in the same year, the total entries for all sections of the examinations is in excess of the total individual entries. In conclusion, I wish to express my deep appreciation of the loyal and efficient service in the cause of technical education and manual training given by my colleagues in the Department and by Principals and teachers in schools and classes during the year under review. I have, &c., W. S. LaTeobe, The Director of Education, Wellington. Superintendent of Technical Education.
