split the classes for carpentry and drawing, as 15 is the maximum
number which can receive adequate supervision from one instructor
in these subjects. For general subjects it may be possible to combine
the classes of one year during the third year of the students atten.d-
ance, provided suitable accommodation is available. This is however
problematical, and it will be safer to assume that year IV will be
the first year in which the two classes can be combined.
It is most satisfactory to note that the standard of Educati on
and Intelligence of candidates is above what was expected after
perusal of the Report.
An important problem for the future is:-
Will it be possible, in the course of the next 3 years,
to have the standard of English of entrants so raised,
as to enable the entry of 30-40 boys to be split up
according to residence and to open a subsidiary Junior
Cechnical School in the vicinity of Kowloon Docks?
This arrangement would have the important advantage of
releasing accommodation for Continuation Classes in the
present building, which could then easily be rendered
adequate for many years.
(b) Buildings.
Provided the present buildings are regarded strictly as a
nucleus, they can be regarded as very satisfactory. They are well
ventilated and lit, stand remote from traffic, and have land adjoin- ing very suitable for extension. Also, most important, they are
centrally situated with regard to the industries which they are designed to serve. There are obvious advantages in/school of this
nature consisting of detached blocks, rather than being under one roof, noise being inseparable from the teaching of certain subjects. The carpenters shop is adequate, and should not require
extensi on.
