TECHNICAL SCHOOL.

Arrangements are now all but completed for the resumption of the wood-working class, and already a sufficient number of pupils have enrolled to enable operations to be commenced at an early date. The instructor, Mr P. Gooding, will meet the pupils tomorrow night, and thereafter the class will meet each Thursday night at 7 o'clock. The work of this class, in conjunction with the machinery construction and building construction, class, should prove of the utmost value to students, and there is every reason for believing tha,t the numbers of young men who will take advantage of the instruction so offered will be large. Mr Gooding is well known as a very able instructor and most efficient tradesman. The men's elocution class 'mado a start .last week, , and work will .be resumed to-night at 7.30 o'clock. Students aire asked to provide themselves witlh note-book and pencil, aim 1 With the reading book adopted, McKenzie's "Nineteenth Century." The public speaking course is included in the work of this class. Mr A. E. Collier hopes to commence the wool-classing oourse of lectures at the beginning of May, a,pd will •be glad to hear from anyone "who is ■willing to become a member of the class. The work will be of a »thoroughly prqfticai j character, and any farmer, whether" "he may be desiroois of classing Ms own clip or not. would find the knowledge he would gain by joining the clas s of considerable value to him in the shearing season. An exhibition of work done : liyjthe pupils during the year is likely; to be held towards the end of the final term and some of the pupils axe already preparing for the display. The work of very nearly every class lends itself to this. .plan, and where this is not so the pupils will b8 mostly in those classes which will be a.ble to prepare exhibits. An ait class is opening to-day in the afternoon, and will in future be held every Wednesday afternoon at 2.15. Those who may be desirous of taking art lessons from Mr Fenton may see him at the School any Wednesday afternoon, or may obtain information from the Director.ic The fancy work classes under Mrs Howell are filling up, and it may be as well to notify intending pupils that they may take -half-term lessons for this quarter, if they enrol at once.

An elocution class for young men and young women will commence work on Thursday next at 7 p m. The fee will be only 5s for this class, and free-place pupils will get their tuition free.
