It is not proposed that there should be any large immediate expenditure on a library for the Junior Technical School, but it
should be recognised from the beginning that success must depend to some extent on the Staff keeping up to date with current research and practice. In this respect the demands of a Technical School are
more onerous than those of any other type, and it is hoped that if
nucleus of books is provided, it will be possible to encourage private study among the Staff from the date of their appointment.
The books required to start the library would be divided into two categories:-
હૈ
(1) Books essential to the running of the J. T.S.
(2) One Standard text book in cach branch of Engineering for the use of Staff and directly useful when the
Continuation Classes commence.
The Principal is especially keen on preventing Graduates losing the habit of study after leaving their University, and would
regard the supply of one or two of the more easily read of the Technical Periodicals as invaluable.
Consideration must be given to the fact that the staff will not only be called on to teach Junior classes, but also continuation classes which it is hoped will reach a higher standard yearly. (e) CURRICULUM: –
It can be taken as axiomatic that throughout the course at the Junior Technical School the instruction in all subject. should contain as much practical, and as little theoretical, instruction as possible. Each subject will be given a practical bias as follows. English:- As soon as the student can read and write simple sentences, his reader will be a simple book on Engineering or Building Science, the experimental side of which he will investigate
in the laboratory, having learned the words in the class
room.
