Part Time (Trade) Courses :-As these courses will be run in the hope of attract- ing the poorer type of apprentice serving his time in the small Chinese shop, it is sub- mitted, that, in order to bring the advantage of taking a Trade course to the notice of this class, a purely nominal fee of $1 per month should be charged until the courses are running reasonably full. An eventual charge of $3 per month should be aimed at, but this will not be possible of fulfilment for some years.
Minor Courses-It is not possible to lay down any fee for these at present, but they should lie between $2 per month for the trade apprentice from Chinese workshops to $5 per month for Sanitary Inspectors' classes.
Junior Courses: The present fee of $3 per month seems to be as much as the artizan class can afford. Several boys have had to decline vacancies due to the inability of their parents to pay the fee.
