## REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, 1933.
The Institute was open throughout the year except during the customary vacations. It continued to grow. Classes met at twelve places in different parts of the Colony (last year eight). The number of classes was forty-five (last year thirty-eight). The number of students enrolled was 809 (last year 632).
2. Sixty-three lecturers, drawn mainly from the Education Department, Public Works Department and the Dockyards, assisted in the instruction given in the following subjects: Electrical Engineering, Mechanics, Field Surveying, Building Construction, Carpentry, Architecture, Sanitation Hygiene, Chemistry, Physics, Pedagogy (English and Vernacular), Book-keeping, Shorthand, English Literature, Commercial English, French, Physical Instruction and Cookery. The "Art" class for educational students was closed. Applications for courses in Journalism and in Organic Chemistry for Pharmaceutical Apprentices were received, but the demand did not justify the formation of classes for these subjects.
3. Under the expert supervision of the Technical Adviser, Mr. G. White, considerable progress was made in the technical training of the apprentices in the dockyards. Provision was made for the needs of young men in the building trade. The teaching of Carpentry was a new departure. The Building Construction Class achieved good results. The Teachers' Classes, both English and Vernacular, rendered great service in the training of locally bred teachers. The great improvement in the results of the Vernacular teachers after a succession of lean years was very welcome. This was mainly due to the painstaking supervision of Mr. Ng Fung Chau and to the weeding out of the incompetent.
4. The amount of fees received was $7,274 ($6,338.50 in 1932). The expenditure was $30,333.01 ($24,070.90 in 1932). The average cost per pupil was $28.50 ($28.06 in 1932).
