limited, but necessities have boon provided, and the general tone and purposefulness of the instruction and the work of students, e>ften clone under conditions which do not make for the best, leave little to be desired. Plumbing. —Speaking generally, no classes in the technical schools of tho Dominion have been more affected by the European war than those dealing with, the principles and practice of plumbing. At one centre the whole of tho students of the class except one have gemo on active service, and all centres have suffered in this direction to a greater or lesser degree. Another disturbing influence has been the irregular attendance of students engaged on country work, and these influences have somewhat militated against the work of the classes as a whole. But in spite of this, sound, purposeful, work has been done. The disabilities under which the classes are conducted, referred to in a prcvieius report, have not, so far as can be gathered, been mitigated, but there are indications that as soon as normal conditions prevail the problems, in so far as they affect the trade and its relation to the technical schools, will receive full consideration.
