Such a man would be better able to correlate the work in

the Carpenters Shop with the Drawing Office than would a carpenter.

In addition, the pattern maker is probably the most skilled of the

wood-working tradesman, and would be perfectly able to adapt him-

self to the work proposed at the Central British School and Queen's

College.

The technical training of the pattern maker is much above

that of any carpenter, and with some experience a good pattern

maker should be able to act as Deputy for the Principal, and would

be available for certain of the "part time day" classes which it

is hoped to establish.

The minimum class time required in the Junior fechnical

School would be 16 hours per week.

Instructor in Building Construction:-

At present the students seem almost unanimous in preferring

engineering to building. For this reason it is considered best to

take no steps in the matter of such appointment for the time being.

Part Time Classes: -

The provision of "part time day" classes in 1937 will entail

at least two further teachers. The problem which then arisd will

be whether they should be recruited from England.

(a) EQUIPMENT:-

Carpenters Shop.

The tools provided are of good quality but somewhat

large for the Junior Years. It will be necessary to purchase a

number of small size tools and to make up the sets to 12 instead of

8 as at present. The inclusion of a small lathe will not only act

as an introduction to machine ry, but will enable the students, as

they advance, to make in the carpenters shop, actual models of the

pieces they draw in the Drawing Office. A small hand power bench

drill is an essential. Also, a lathe and bench drill are essential
