TECHNICAL INSTRU= TION.

A YEAR'S WORK.. PKESEXTATION OF 1-iJIZES. Prizes- earned by pupils at Hie Technical School during the past year were publicly presented in St. Peter's ■ Hall last evening, when there was a large attsndaiico of students and their friends. Mr. D. Eobei'tson (chairman of the Technical Education Board) presided, and with him on the platform were the Hon. D. Budilo (Acting-Minister for Education), the Hon. C. H. Mills, and Messrs. J. G. W. Aitken, D. M'Laren, M.P., T. tarniichael, and W. S. La Trode, director of the Technical School.

An apology for absence was received from his Excellency- the Governor. In a brief opening speech, Mr. Eobertson congratulated the successful students not only because they had won prises, but on account of the good work thev hart performed in doing so. He did not wish to discourage thoso who had failed to obtain prizes. In.his lifetime he had known a great many boys and girls who naa never been able to obtain prizes, and "ft *'?•?' " We t0 perfom goocl work iu

. Mr. Aitken referred- to the value and importance of intense application. • 4.1ways a great number of people were trving to take the first rung in the ladder iti •• 1 " e lowcr ru "S s v, 'ere crowded, ■Bul higher up there was any quautitv of room Thoi-e ~a s always room ut' the top tor those-who had worked " hard, suidied well,- and tried to do their best! ilus year Mr. La Trolre had been able to report that most of the students had done their work well. The speaker hoped iiiat next year the director would be able ■to report " that every one f .Hie. .pupils .had worked well. . m ?, ? °£ sueh a satheriug as this, said tha Hon. Mr. 'Buddo, enabled. oi«l to look ivith a good deal of■ hope to the •c 1w } t: . lras a Peasant thing to realise that technical schools existed now in each, of our large-centres. ' on the year's work at the school -alγ. W. S.la Trobe (director) remarked that, this was the fifth or sixth occasion on which they had met together at the end of the year for the presentation of prizes. During the whole intervening period the number of pupils, attending tin. school had steadily increased The total would have been much larger if the< school authorities had succeeded, as they had not yet done, in obtaining a new site and a*nev school for cai-rying on the work. .Good work fnpf «!T e , r \, be<m douc in spite of.the act that both appliances ...and-equip-' iiien were deficient. The number of pupils attending the school dui-in" ' tho year was HOO, and 200 classes ha 2 been earned on. The kind of work done 1 S en in the 'exhibition, which, jiould bo thrown open during the next hree days. In regard to the work of the, school students had been very successful At the local. Arts and ■CrMts'.' Lxhibition six iirst prizes were secured, and the work of five students was commended At the Manawatn and West Coast A. and.P. Association's show at lalmcraton North students of the school obtained 21 first prizes, 22 second, 21 third, and 19 were commended, a total of 8b awards. ; Tlio results of the South Kensmgtou and City and Guilds examinations' were not. yet available, but results had bran announced in a national competition' for which some: of the Wellington pupils had enteral works that year. Two book prizes and one "commended" came to the Wellington Technical School out of four awards that camo to New Zealand The school.examinations'had been conducted on-a.'wider. , basis this year, both iu day and evening classes, and throughout tho year over 600 certificates for proficiency in various departments had been earned by students. After reviewing at eomo lengrh the objects- of the school and the development of classes, Mr. La Trobe declared emphatically that tho institution was cramped for room, cramped for plant, and cramped for recreation grounds. •! now school was badly needed. When the s P c ?.f°, r . , S 3 W .. tho .'straits. ,tp which his pupils '■ were 'put.'diirJniF-'tho-'dinner hour and in.the evening to find space for recreation, he-felt that every effort'ought certainly to be made- to got> hold of a' site that would iucliido a. good'recreationgro.'uiul'. At present they, made., the best of things by a process of tinkering. Exist-.. ing accommodatipn had been'improved as tar as possible, and little alterations had been made. As a matter of fact, however, they had not space to put out equipment already obtained >eo .far as a number of classes were concerned. At the request of the chairman, the Hoii. D. Biiddp then presented' the prizes won by students'during the year.-.
