With the increase in classes the amount of personal supervision for each class must decrease and the following method is proposed.
In September 1934 a second year will form. The Principal, with the appropriate Chinese teacher in attendance, will take the special classes in Year II such as Engineering Science and Mechanical Drawing.
On Year III forming the Principal will take the same work in Year III and hand over Year II to the teacher who has been through the course once already. By this means it is hoped that a competent staff will be assembled by 1937.
It would be a great help if arrangements
could be made for
the Engineering Graduate asked for in September 1934, to spend the interval January to September in an engineering Drawing Office, as his whole work will eventually be the teaching of technical drawing. Alternatively, would it be possible to attract a University Graduate in Engineering from industry to the Junior Technical School? Carpentry Instructor:-
It is felt that given the right type of man, the "Carpentry Instructor" provided for in the report could fill a much wider place in the organisation of the Junior Technical School than has so far been
suggested.
In place of a skilled carpenter it is suggested that a pattern maker be appointed. It should be possible to get a man either from the Clyde or Tyneside districts to fulfil the following conditions.
(1) Have first class references as a patternmaker.
(2) Have experience of machine shop, foundry and
possibly
―
drawing office.
-
(3) Have a good evening class technical training with
some certificate either from City & Guilds, Armstrong College, Royal Technical College, Glasgow, or other college of standing. The "National Certificates" of
the Board of Education are up to the standard of
theoretical training desired.
