available for them in the J.T.S. and the suggestions of Prof.

?

Roffey on p. 37 of the Report, though possibly practicable, have

obvious disadvantages.

The points which will arise are

(1) Site and plans for school on Senior Lines to

accommodate 100 150 part time day students

in 4 of 5 years.

(2) Inclusion in such a building of accommodation

for T.I. Classes.

(3) Is a definite "trade school" for the engineering

and building industries required? and if so is it

to be included under one roof with above?

N. B. The Science Laboratory could be made available to a limited

extent. (See also page 11).

(c) Staff.

The necessity for the division of each year into two classes

must inevitably lead to an increase in the staff establishment over

that contemplated in the Report before the present situation arose.

The present staff consists of two University Trained Teachers

and one part time Carpentry instructor. Both of the University Trained

Teachers hold the degree of Bachelor of Arts of Hong Kong University,

and while it is essential to provide a certain number of "Arts"

graduates on the Staff, the peculiar demands of the Junior Technical

School will certainly require teachers with a different training from

those required for secondary schools. The estimated requirements are

shown in Table II.
