(Colonial Regulations, § 430).\n\nHead 3.-State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be given under heading 9.\n\nHead 6.—If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for three months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for three months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the actual period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7.-A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, as part of regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as the Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed.\n\nPapers of \"Particulars\" forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office.\n\nIn the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.-In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, so that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nAs to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11.-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14.-If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19. The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n125\n\nSergeant Basheed Singh is suffering from Chronic Rheumatism which frequently renders him unfit to discharge his duty properly, I recommend him to be permitted to retire on pension.\n\n2.4/ L. P. Marques, Medical Officer in charge of Victoria Gaol Hospital\n\nHongkong, March 11. 1890\n\nI recommend Sergeant Basheed Singh for pension as he has been long a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism and varicose veins and is feeling too old and feeble for further work.\n\n801 Ph.

Haiching landed in the Colony 28 distressed British seamen, part of the crew of the British steamer Oldhamia, which, as already reported, is supposed to have been sunk by the Baltic Fleet.\n\nA representative of the \"South China Morning Post\" succeeded in obtaining an interview with Mr. James Ison, chief officer of the ill-starred vessel, who kindly furnished a highly interesting and detailed from-day-to-day account of the adventure.\n\nMr. Ison, after stating that he had just concluded a recital of his experiences to His Excellency the Governor, went on as follows:\n\nThe Oldhamia is a British steamer of 2,347 tons nett register, and she was bound from New York to Yokkaichi in Japan with a cargo of case oil. Our last port of call was Port Said and, when we entered the China Sea, we had no thought of anything but the speedy termination of our long voyage. Everything went well until the evening of May 18, when, to our utter astonishment, we sighted the Baltic Fleet comprising 48 ships. We were quickly signalled to stop by the cruiser Oleg. Our first feelings were of wonderment that the Baltic Fleet still existed in such strength. Previous to leaving Port Said, we heard that they had passed through the Malacca Straits and we were surprised to find that they had not yet met the Japanese. We were confident that, when they met the Japanese, there would not be much left of them and subsequent events have justified our belief. Our feelings quickly changed to annoyance and dismay.\n\nThe Oldhamia was boarded by the officers of the Oleg who, after examining the papers and interviewing the captain, exchanged signals at length with the Fleet. The order was then given for the Oleg and the Oldhamia to join the Fleet and keep in company with it. We were astounded when we found that the ship was to be detained. Captain Stewart strongly protested, but no notice whatsoever was taken of him. From the very moment they came aboard, I surmised that their minds were fully made up to keep the ship.\n\nAt six o'clock on the morning of the 19th, the Fleet stopped about 150 miles south of Formosa. (When we met the Fleet, I omitted to say, we were making for the Bashee Channel.) We were boarded by several officers and many men from different ships. Some men opened the hatches and started to take cargo out with the idea, I presume, of ascertaining its nature. Later in the morning, after an exchange of signals, a collier was sent alongside the Oldhamia and commenced to transfer coal into the Oldhamia's bunkers. At eleven o'clock, the whole crew, with the exception of the captain, chief engineer, steward, and cook, were ordered to leave the ship, which they did, and were transferred to the cruiser Dnieper, formerly the St. Petersburg, the famous Volunteer Fleet cruiser connected with the P. and O. Malacca hold-up. All that day (the 19th) the collier continued to put coal on board the Oldhamia - the Fleet standing by - and towards evening the whole Fleet got under weigh and steamed towards the northeast.\n\nWe asked the officers of the Russian cruiser to give us some information as to our ultimate fate or as to their intentions, but received only evasive replies.\n\nOn the 20th, we kept in company with the Fleet still steaming northeast at various speeds.\n\nOn the 21st, information was conveyed to us that the balance of our crew (the four mentioned) had been transferred to one of the other ships of the Russian squadron.\n\nThe Oldhamia was not in sight on the 22nd and, on making inquiries, I was informed by one of the Russian... \n\nC.

Short rifle and the latest pattern equipment.\n\nThe period for the annual Camp of Instruction was extended from 10 days to 16, it was held in October, 1905, and was very well attended.\n\nThe Hongkong Volunteer Reserve Association numbered two hundred and thirteen members at the close of the year, an increase of 113 members, as compared with 1904.\n\nMembers of this Association, who must be over 35 years of age, are required to make themselves proficient in rifle shooting, and undertake to enrol themselves under the Volunteer Ordinance in the event of hostilities.\n\nThe expenditure on the Volunteers, which is entirely borne by the Colony, was $58,311.12.\n\n- 13 -\n\n# XII-GENERAL OBSERVATIONS\n\nThe war between Russia and Japan continued during the first half of the year to affect disadvantageously the trade of the Colony and to be productive of incidents involving important questions of law. Early in January a breach of a Colonial Ordinance required the forfeiture of a cargo of ammunition destined for a belligerent but carried by a British steamer that had put into the port for coal. The position of one of the belligerent fleets from the middle of April to the middle of May within three days' steam of Hongkong necessitated stringent measures being taken to prevent any use of the port not in accordance with British neutrality laws and in several instances the severe penalties involved by the despatch of any ship with reasonable cause to believe that the same would be employed on the naval service of a foreign state at war with a friendly state had to be brought to the special notice of shipping agents. The departure northwards of that fleet relieved anxiety in this matter but was followed by the capture, on the grounds of carrying contraband of war, of two British ships - the `Oldhamia` in the Bashee Channel on May 18th and the `St. Kilda` a few hours out of Hongkong on June 4th. The latter capture was the last incident of the naval operations which directly affected Hongkong though it was not till nearly three months later that the armistice protocol was signed on September 1st. The opportunity was taken of the first visit to the port after the conclusion of peace of a Russian war vessel - the `Almaz` - to embark on her on November 30th for repatriation the 2 officers and 53 men of the former Russian torpedo boat destroyer `Burni` who had arrived in the Colony from Wei-Hai-Wei on the 22nd August, 1904. 2 officers and 8 men who had formed part of the same crew had previously been sent to Europe on grounds of ill-health.\n\nThe result of the disappearance of Russian naval power from Far Eastern waters was the immediate withdrawal of all the battleships from the British fleet on the China Station and a reduction in the number of cruisers. The lessening of imperial expenditure in the Colony resulting from this has necessarily been disadvantageous to its trade.\n\nThis was more seriously affected by the organized attempt of the Chinese in the last half of the year to boycott American goods as a protest against the administration of the United States law excluding Chinese labourers from that country. The attempt to extend the organization of the movement to this Colony was not supported by the principal Chinese merchants here, but its strength in Canton adversely affected the business in American goods which passes through Hongkong and further tended to the development of anti-foreign feeling and consequent unrest in that part of China with which Hongkong does most trade. Advantage was taken of the visit in September of Mr. WILLIAM H. TAFT, United States Secretary for War, to give that gentleman an opportunity of hearing the views of some of the leading Chinese of the Colony as to the Chinese objections to the provisions and administration of the exclusion law.\n\nUncertainty of exchange is always a factor adverse to trade and the year under review was not exceptional in this respect, the range of variation being slightly greater than in 1904. The year started with the dollar at 1s. 11d. It fell to 1s. 10d. at the end of March, rose irregularly to 2s. 1d. at the end of November and stood at 2s. 0.25d. in the last days of December. The maximum of the year was the highest value that had been attained since early in 1897.\n\nProbably the most important factor in making the year a bad one for trade was the loss of confidence in Hongkong Chinese dealers owing to the speculation of 1904 which had the natural result of making it difficult for these dealers to get money with which to carry on their business in 1905. As regards imports, trade was particularly slack in fancy cotton and woollen goods and metals while but a limited business was done in Manchester piece goods. Yarns did fairly well, especially for importers. Australian flour entered into serious competition with American of which the importation fell off largely; American kerosine also suffered from the boycott. As regards exports, trade in silk was adversely affected by various causes and in other articles, especially ginger and soy, compared unfavourably with that of preceding years.\n\nIn spite of indifferent trade several local stocks stood higher at the end than at the commencement of the year. Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation shares advanced $150 against an advance of $50 in 1904. Local shipping companies retrograded. Marine insurance shares generally improved. Of the local land and building companies the shares of one operating at Kowloon slightly appreciated; the others declined and the decision of holders of marine lots on the East Praya not to undertake for the present the reclamation of the sea bed in front of their properties was probably a wise one. The Dock companies did...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-333 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 408929, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3]", "page_number": 631, "title": "CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3]", "content_text": "amals & transmit \n\nBy when two copl. \n\ndesfer from the Gove \n\nfuject.

Independently however of the provisions of Defence of the Realm Regulation 37D, it appears that clause 5 of the new Aliens Restriction Bill now before Parliament, if passed in its present terms, will disentitle Mr. Falk to command unless and until he becomes naturalised.\n\n2.

The contribution was fixed at £250,000, and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty requested that the whole sum should not be paid over at once but as required and as expenses were incurred. There can be, I regret, no question of increasing that contribution under the conditions now obtaining in Hong Kong.\n\n3. Interest on the money received from the Shipping Control has always been credited to the Hong Kong General Account, and I entirely concur in the directions given in Colonial Office letter No.`30041/27` of 29th March, 1927, that the accrued interest on the capital sum should be transferred to that same account.\n\n4.

After the War, there was a diversity of opinion as to the rightful ownership of this profit, which led to some controversy, but which happily, since the gift was made for the Singapore Base, has relaxed, with the exception of an occasional reference by a few of the \"Diehards\".\n\nI believe it was, therefore, considered more politic to place the money at the disposal of the Imperial Government to be utilized imperially, rather than retain it to meet local expenditure.\n\nPage 84\n\n### 5.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-502-1 Singapore naval base- payment of Hong Kong's contribution 7-1-1927 - 27-9-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 508601, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-502-1 Singapore naval base- payment of Hong Kong's contribution 7-1-1927 - 27-9-1927", "page_number": 14, "title": "CO129-502-1 Singapore naval base- payment of Hong Kong's contribution 7-1-1927 - 27-9-1927", "content_text": "### \n1.3 \n5.

In the particular case under consideration, permission has been granted subject to the business having been started by the 10th August, 1928. The Colonial Secretary of the Hongkong Government has, however, informed the Japanese Consul General that no further applications of this type can be entertained.\n\n2. The question arises whether, in view of the provisions of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of 1911, to which Hongkong is a party, the Governor has the right to refuse permission to a Japanese subject to establish himself in Hongkong for this purpose. The Hongkong Merchant Shipping Ordinance of 1899 gives him power to make regulations for the management, working and control of all fishing operations generally in the waters of the Colony (Article 29 (4)); it also empowers him to make regulations for licensing launches of the type proposed to be used by the Japanese (Article 37). The present application, however, concerns fishing not in territorial waters but on the high seas, and is therefore not covered...\n\nThe Secretary to the Board of Trade.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514582, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928", "page_number": 23, "title": "CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928", "content_text": "23\n\nby Article 39 of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance.\n\nPresumably, also, the expression \"national fisheries\" in Article 25 of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty refers only to\n\nfisheries from which a State is entitled to exclude\n\nforeigners, which, generally speaking, would mean\n\nfisheries in territorial waters. It is possible, therefore, that the Japanese could claim national treatment in respect\n\nof facilities for fishery on the high seas under the\n\nprovisions of Articles 1, 6 or 17 of the Treaty.\n\nIf 19.\n\nit is not clear upon what ground the Governor could refuse\n\nthe permission requested, subject of course to the\n\nobservance by the Japanese of municipal laws and regulations,\n\nunless such permission might in similar circumstances be\n\nrefused to a British subject, and of this there is no\n\nevidence.

He will strictly observe the laws and regulations of the Hong Kong Government.\n\nHe has no objection to co-operating with any British or Chinese businessmen interested in fishery.\n\nNearly three times per two months, the boats are expected to come into the harbour with fishes on board, which are expected to amount approximately to forty thousand kins.\n\nHis plan is to expand the enterprise gradually to the extent of using ten boats regularly.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514597, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928", "page_number": 38, "title": "CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928", "content_text": "Enclosure No.11.\n\n37\n\nNo.901.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nI am inclined to agree that permission cannot very well be withheld at this juncture. I feel, however, that it would be wise to state definitely that no further applications can be considered, and that Mr. Kitayama's permit will lapse within a definite period unless he can make use of it.\n\nThe reasons for this could be explained by pointing out that too efficient a fishing trade would undercut the prices obtained by local Chinese fishermen and cause them great hardship. The more these men are thrown out of employment the more likely they are to turn to piracy.\n\nI would suggest that the matter be brought to the notice of the Secretary of State for the Colonies and through him at my request to the Admiralty. It is possible that His Majesty's Government might make use of this to obtain a similar concession from the Japanese and in any case in considering distances of 400 miles it seems to me to be immaterial whether Formosa or Hong Kong is used as base.\n\nApart from the above it is just possible that His Majesty's Government might encourage a British Fishing Company to carry out deep sea fishing based on Hong Kong. There is no doubt that the craft owned by any such company would be of great value to the Colony in the event of war.\n\nIf", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514598, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928", "page_number": 39, "title": "CO129-509-5 Applications by Japanese fishermen to use Hong Kong as a base 16-1-1928 - 9-8-1928", "content_text": "38\n\nIf you concur with my views, I should be \n\nextremely grateful if you would send me a copy of any \n\ncommunication you might send to the Secretary of State \n\nfor the Colonies, in order that I may forward it to the \n\nAdmiralty at the same time.\n\n(sd.)

Throughout there was an undercurrent of suspicion in the minds both of the Colonial Government and of the Naval Authorities that these activities of the Japanese fishing fleet might prove dangerous in the event of possible future hostilities.\n\nIn 1926 the question arose again in an application to base a high-seas motor trawling business on Hong Kong, by Messrs.

Actually, they aspire to do much more than this, and are producing a new type of mechanic who should do much to raise the level of craftsmanship in the light engineering and automobile trades. Great care is taken that no boy is allowed to specialise in too narrow a field, and in addition to a really sound knowledge of one trade, any passed student should be able to tackle almost any metal work with which he may be faced.\n\nThe date of opening the various schools is as follows.\n\n(1) Kuala Lumpur\n(2) Ipoh\n(3) Singapore\n(4) Penang\n\n1926\n1930\n1930\n1931\n\nWhile each of the light engineering schools has a distinct personality of its own, the fact that they have all been developed from the original School at Kuala Lumpur is at once noticeable.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545804, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 21, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "2\n\nAll schools are based on the plan of providing an apprenticeship for young mechanics which will provide them with three years' carefully graduated instruction in their trade, without that waste of time and effort which seems to characterise apprenticeship in the East. Also, by removing the menial work which is often the sole occupation of an apprentice during his first year, it is possible to attract a much better type of boy to the mechanical occupations.\n\nThroughout Malaya it is fully realised that, to make a good mechanic, a sound general education is essential; and while different states follow somewhat varying policies in the matter of selecting students, the policy of insisting on good preliminary education, good physique and personality is common to all.\n\nIt is also realised that there is no use starting a boy on a Trade School apprenticeship before his physique is such as would enable him to enter an apprenticeship in industry; for this reason the average age of entrants works out at about sixteen.\n\nIn general, the courses provided are organised around the automobile repair trade. This is partly due to the fact that this trade lends itself very specially to Trade School instruction and partly to the fact that this industry is unlikely to suffer further depression to any great extent. The variety of work introduced in automobile repair is very great and serves to prevent undue specialisation during apprenticeship.\n\nAll schools are well equipped with machine tools, especially those in the Straits Settlements where the depression has been less severely felt. At the same time great importance is laid on the use of the engineer's main hand tools—hammer, chisel and file—and a very high standard of proficiency in the use of these tools is required before the student does much work on the machines. Every student does a certain amount of blacksmith's work, brazing, and light sheet metal work during his first two years. The final year is spent on any work of commercial value which may be available and suitable. The overhaul of cars belonging to the Public Works Department is one source of such work.\n\nAn important safeguard against exploitation of the schools lies in the right of the Principal to reject all work of an unsuitable nature.\n\nThe policy of charging for such work varies in the different schools, but is based on cost of spare parts plus a labour charge. At Kuala Lumpur the labour charge is 20 cents per hour.\n\nBy this means a revenue of several hundred dollars accrues to the Treasury per annum.\n\nThe courses of instruction, in addition to imparting the manual skill required by an engineering trade, make every endeavour to familiarise the student with industrial practice. During his course he has a number of weeks on the following duties:—\n\n(I) Oil Engine Maintenance, Dismantling, Cleaning, and Repair, Reassembling. (except at Penang).\n\nor (1) Petrol engine Test Bed tuning and testing. (Penang only).\n\n(II) Shop Cleaning—there are no coolies.\n\n(III) Oiling of Shafting, Maintenance of Belting.\n\n(IV) Repair of Workshop Machines.\n\n(V) Modern Store Keeping.\n\n(VI) Costing of Work Done.\n\n(VII) Erection of new machinery as received.\n\n3\n\nGreat care is also taken to ensure that the functioning of different machines and their component parts is fully understood, and all students are required to be able to make an engineer's sketch of a given machine part, or to be able to sketch a part which will fulfil a given function. The elementary properties of common materials are explained in so far as these affect the workshop.\n\nOrganisation.\n\nAll schools come under the control of the Inspector of English Schools for the State in which they are situated, the general policy underlying the selection of candidates being dictated by him. The full establishment for educational staff is as follows.\n\nMachineman.Fitter.\nPart Time Principal.Chief Instructor (European).\nClerk.Local Instructors.\nBlacksmith & Boilermaker.Motor Mechanic.\nFoundryman & Patternmaker.\n\nThe Principal is in all cases a Civil Engineer in the Public Works Department who gives one to two hours daily to School duties. He is generally responsible for organisation and acts as the official link with the Inspector of English Schools. By taking over most of the correspondence and office work he makes it possible for the Chief Instructor to spend most of his time in the workshops. The Principalship at Ipoh is vacant and may remain so.\n\nChief Instructor.\n\nThe Chief Instructors at Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh were originally foremen in the Central Workshops of the Federated Malay States Railway, the appointments being made locally. The fact that the medium of instruction was Malay made this procedure almost obligatory.\n\nOn the opening of the Singapore and Penang Schools it was decided to bring out the Chief Instructors from home, and to insist on a much higher standard of education than is usual in the foremen class. The selection in both cases has been extremely fortunate, both instructors combining a high-class technical training with excellent practical experience, including test bench work at high-class automobile works.\n\nThe work done by these instructors has in all cases included the erection of all machinery and workshop plant, utilising only the labour of their own students and as, of course, these were originally totally unskilled and inexperienced, the excellence of the final layout is the more remarkable.\n\nAll Chief Instructors on appointment proceed to Kuala Lumpur for a two months' course of instruction on local conditions.\n\nLocal Instructors.\n\nThere is no racial bar in these appointments, Tamils, Chinese, and Eurasians being included on the staffs.\n\n*Details of local Instructors are based on Singapore.\n\n22", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545805, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 22, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "All the Schools are below establishment in the matter of local instructors, Singapore being most favourably placed, having four instructors and being ready to appoint a foundryman with pattern making knowledge when available. It is probable that Penang will be brought up to establishment as the number of classes increases.\n\nThese instructors are found to be very satisfactory, all having held the post of foreman in some local undertaking. Most appear to be men of about forty and seem very keen and careful.\n\n(4) CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS.\n\nThe reasons underlying the establishment of Trade Schools in the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States are of extremely diverse natures, and it is remarkable that their establishment should in each case be the solution of the difficulties.\n\nFEDERATED MALAY STATES SCHOOLS.\n\nKuala Lumpur: Until recent years the Malay, the local son of the soil, has been able to supply his wants by purely agricultural pursuits, the ranks of the motor mechanics, fitters, carpenters and other trades being recruited from immigrant Chinese and Tamils. The policy of the Malay States is to give the Malay a chance to compete in the industrial field, and for this reason students are practically all Malays, chiefly recruited from country villages. All candidates must have completed Standard V of the Malay Schools, and the age of entry is about sixteen. No knowledge of English is required and there is no organisation for its systematic teaching.\n\nUntil this year no fees were charged, and a maintenance allowance of $10 per month was granted to each pupil, a hostel being provided near the school. All students are resident and their accommodation is assessed at $7 per month, leaving $3 for other expenses.\n\nThis year's entry is charged a fee of $3 per month; must pay for accommodation in the hostel; and provide overalls as required. The demand for places is as keen as ever.\n\nKuala Lumpur School is most interesting as being the only school which has hitherto had much experience of placing students who have completed their course in jobs with engineering concerns. Up to date the position is:-\n\n \n No. of Students who have completed course\n No. of Students employed at trade\n \n \n 70\n 55\n \n\na record by no means discreditable when the conditions in the Federated Malay States are considered, especially as several students not employed at their trade have missed chances through lack of English.\n\nAs a direct measure of the standard of skill attained, eight students have been engaged from time to time by the Royal Air Force Base, Singapore, at $2.40 per day. All have been highly satisfactory, and when a specialist in metalling steel liners was required, application for such a man was first made to Kuala Lumpur.\n\nThe workshop machinery is driven by a heavy oil engine which is run and maintained by students, who carry out all running adjustments and repairs. Two boys run the engine for a week, and during this time they strip, inspect and re-erect it - quite a big job. This side of the work has enabled many to qualify for the State Certificate of ability to take charge of engines up to 200 Horse Power and a number are employed at tin mines on this work.*\n\nOwing to the depression there is likely to be some difficulty in placing boys passing out this year, but a scheme is being propounded whereby they will pass out to the Central Workshops of the Federated Malay States Railway at Kuala Lumpur as improvers.\n\nThe Federated Malay States Railway has a five year system of trade apprenticeship and it will be interesting to compare the value of the \"workshop\" and \"trade school\" apprentice once the latter has settled down to the foreign atmosphere where \"piece work bonus\" and time saving are of equal importance to accuracy; where the automobile part weighing a few ounces is replaced by a locomotive part weighing as many hundredweights; and where the size of the machines which he has to operate is many times increased.\n\nIPOH.\n\nThe School at Ipoh is developing on much the same lines, but has the advantage that the Public Works Department has established a small factory for the repair of motor transport vehicles close to the school, all the labour being supplied by final year students. In addition to automobile work the School undertakes such work as repair of water meters, etc. As much Public Works Department work as possible is passed through the school, the money saved being credited to Revenue. This close co-operation with Public Works Department Workshops is a real asset to the school, as not only is the commercial atmosphere maintained, but boys passing out to Government workshops have already experience of official methods of control of work and costs. They also, in this way, get to know the type of plant which they will be called on to maintain after passing out from the school.\n\nSTRAITS SETTLEMENTS SCHOOLS.\n\nThe circumstances which called these schools into being were radically different from those from which the Federated Malay Schools arose.\n\nPartly due to the depression, it had been observed that there was an increasing difficulty in ensuring that boys leaving the English Schools with Junior, or even Senior, Cambridge Certificates, should be able to find sufficiently lucrative employment; this gave rise to the fear that these English Schools would in the near future be producing educated boys for whom there would be no work, and whose very education would render them unsuitable for those manual jobs which are usually available.\n\nIn order to prevent the wastage which would arise from the unemployment of this material, it was decided to open Trade Schools which would provide a method of entrance to industry free from the demoralising influences of Eastern apprenticeship. The Schools, by turning out educated mechanics of good personality, were also expected to exercise an improving influence on the standard of work done in local garages and workshops. There is little doubt that this latter will be accomplished as these Trade School students, given a little experience of the rough and tumble of the commercial workshop, will be most useful employees in the better type of garage, or strong competitors should they decide to open a workshop of their own.\n\nIn this connection it is worth noting that there is one student in attendance at Penang who intends to open a modern garage on completion of his course.\n\nThe Straits Settlements Schools started with several initial advantages.\n\n(1) The depression was less severely felt in the Straits Settlements than in the Federated Malay States.\n\n(2) They had the experience of the school at Kuala Lumpur on which to draw.\n\n(3) All candidates for admission speak reasonably good English.\n\nAs would be expected from the causes which gave rise to these Schools, the type of student is considerably higher than in the Federated Malay States. There is also no racial bar, and while the School at Singapore contains a large proportion of Chinese, this race supplies the majority of students at Penang. There is also a certain difference in policy of selection at these Schools, and while the Singapore School seems to set a higher standard for entrants than Penang, in effect the selection at Singapore takes\n\n*Similar work is done at Ipoh and Singapore.\n\nPage 23\n\nPage 24", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545806, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 23, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "25\n\n6\n\nplace earlier in the students school life than at Penang, where an endeavour has been made to attract to the Trade School the very best all-round type of boy available. Some idea of the type required can be gained from the Application form, and from the fact that many students possess the Junior, and one possesses the Senior, Cambridge Certificate.\n\nBoth these Schools encourage activities outside School hours and run strong athletic sides. Singapore, being now well established in its third year, is divided into Houses which compete against each other for a Shield, points being awarded for work, attendance and games. Competition is very keen.\n\nThe tone of these Schools is as good as one would expect to find in the best type of English School; indeed the type of boy at Penang is much above what one would expect to find in a Trade School whether expressed in terms of appearance, physique, mentality or educational achievement.\n\nOne result of this is that in comparing the times taken for standard jobs in the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Schools, Penang has a better record than Singapore, which in turn is better than Federated Malay States Schools; this again shows that the better educated boy will, other things being equal, make the better mechanic.\n\nWith regard to detail equipment, this is fully set out on page 9 for the Singapore Trade School, and in Appendix I (Prospectus, etc., Penang Trade School).\n\nThe lay out of Penang Trade School is shown on the Sketch Plan.\n\nThe Stores and Accounting system in use at Penang was fully investigated. Considerations of space and difficulty of reproduction preclude the inclusion of the results in the present report, but these are filed at the Junior Technical School and are available for reference as desired.\n\nThe Singapore School has the advantage of possessing an excellent collection of engines for stripping and assembling practice, and also a cupola for foundry work. The motor car repair section is growing and an extension for this purpose is contemplated.\n\nBoth schools are equipped for very detailed instruction in electrical fitting, with special reference to the motor car. This trade is very little understood in the East and such knowledge should be of special value to its owner.\n\nSingapore School, being now in its third year, is endeavouring to set up machinery which will enable its passed students to pass freely into industry. Work being somewhat scarce at present, boys in their final year are placed as soon as an opportunity arises. So far seven have been placed, and although the majority are engaged in jobs outside the automobile industry, their work has been favourably commented on by their employers.\n\nThe development of Singapore as an Air Base, both for the Royal Air Force and Commercial Lines should provide an increasing number of openings for Trade School students; while the Commodore of the new Naval Base, which should eventually possess a large staff of mechanics, has shown a keen interest in the work done.\n\nFees.\n\netc.\n\n*\n\nAt Singapore-No fees are charged, but contribution is made to Sports fund,\n\nAt Penang Fees S$3 per month and Sports contribution,\n\n*As from 1st January, 1935, a fee of $3 per month will be charged at Singapore.\n\nSTRAITS SETTLEMENTS.\n\nCanteen\n\nLavatory\n\nPattern Makers,\n\nSKETCH PLAN OF TRADE SCHOOL, PENANG\n\nA- Principal's Office.\n\nC- Clerk's office.

They should leave with this knowledge, and the will to do something to produce the increased efficiency which better lighting and groundspace will always give.\n\n(2) Equipment.\n\nIt is essential that the student should leave his school able to turn out reasonably good work on machines which are in the condition of normal workshops equipment. Nothing could be more demoralising than to leave the Trade School with its up-to-date, high-class machine tools and be called on, without notice, to work a lathe with various loosenesses.\n\nThe idea of keeping one or two such machines for special practice is worth consideration.\n\n(The lathes which have been seen in Chinese workshops in Hong Kong are always in very bad condition.)\n\n(3) Remuneration and Prospects.\n\nThe remuneration offered by the various occupations, and the opportunities they afford, should be kept constantly before students. It is well to make them realise from the beginning the competition with which they will be faced on entering the industrial field.\n\nThe production of a very well-educated type of mechanic as at Penang is likely to be fraught with special difficulties. In the first place, such a student naturally expects to receive a higher rate of remuneration than his less well-educated brethren; and in these days when the tendency is towards cheap labour, this expectation may be difficult of fulfilment until the student has acquired some actual commercial workshop experience. There is the danger that he may think that he might as well have been earning a small wage while serving his apprenticeship, instead of paying fees. Occasional short talks on the labour market might prevent a feeling of disillusionment, especially as the student's equipment for ultimate promotion can be strongly emphasised.\n\n(4) Cost of Training.\n\nThe cost of training a boy up to Junior Cambridge standard and equipping him with a Trade School training is high. I favour specialising at an earlier stage in the event of similar institutions being founded in Hong Kong.\n\n(5) Recruiting.\n\nThe improvement of the standard of manual skill in the engineering trades can be accomplished in two ways, either\n\n(a) by giving better education and training to the sons of artisans, when there is a resident artisan population available\n\nor (b) by introducing the sons of better-class families to manual occupations by such a channel as the Trade School.\n\nAs regards Hong Kong, I favour the former procedure. An undue number of boys recruited as at (b) would tend to confine promotion to this class and might depress the sons of the artisan class to coolie conditions.\n\nA leavening of better-class boys is, however, very helpful in setting a standard in the School.\n\n(6) Accounting.\n\nAlthough the system of Store Keeping, etc. is very sound, it involves much work on the part of the Chief Instructor, which could be better utilised in direct supervision of students' work. As usual, the Auditors seem to place keeping of accounts before Educational efficiency, and it seems to me that with a more reasonable interpretation of the term \"expendable stores,\" much could be gained educationally with very little possibility of serious deficiencies arising.\n\n13\n\n(6) THE TECHNICAL SCHOOL, Kuala Lumpur.\n\nThe number of Junior European Officers in Malaya is very small, and such appointments are practically confined to foremen on the railway. For this reason, a well-educated type of local Technical Assistant is required by all branches of the Public Works Department, etc., and it was to provide these officers with the requisite technical training that the School was instituted. Originally, the School formed a sub-department of the Public Works Department, but has recently passed into the control of the Education Department, for purposes of administration. This arrangement has made it possible to include a fair number of private fee-paying students in the school, these being accepted to fill places not earmarked for the Public Works Department or the Railway.\n\nThe Principalship is a full-time appointment, and the various European lecturers are released for the necessary hours from the Government Department in which they are serving. By this means, students are kept up with the latest practice, and there is no tendency for instruction to become too academic. Also, each student receives exactly the type of training which is required by the Department in which he expects to serve. There are a few junior local instructors for the more elementary classes.\n\nThe minimum education qualification is Junior Cambridge, and any student may be required to continue his English studies until the Principal is satisfied with the standard attained.\n\nEach department of the Public Works Department and Railway Service has a special apprenticeship system covering four years, each sub-department having a very carefully detailed scheme of training, in which the technical and practical aspects have been carefully co-ordinated. The Public Works Department apprentice does one year practical, then 2 years at the Technical School, then a final 6 months' practical training before sitting the examination which will enable him to pass out as a Technical Subordinate (Grade III) at from $900 to $1,000 p.a. according to the percentage received.\n\nChoosing the Railway system for a more detailed examination of its organisation, it is found that, on appointment, the apprentice is attached to one of the sub-departments and remains in that department throughout his service.\n\nThe sub-departments are:-\n\nEngine and Machinery Maintenance.\n\nRolling Stock\n\nBoiler\n\nTrain Lighting\n\nSmithy\n\nPattern Shop & Foundry\n\n32", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545810, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 27, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "33\n\nis:\n\n14\n\nTaking the course for the first of these as typical the programme of training Engine and Machinery Maintenance Section.\n\n \n Year\n No.\n Where Spent.\n \n\n15\n\nMARKING OF SPECIAL APPRENTICE COURSE.\n\n(LOCOMOTIVE DEPARTMENT, F.M.S.R.)\n\n \n \n \n Marks\n \n \n Conduct and Time-keeping @ 5 marks per month\n \n \n \n \n I\n 1st Year Shop (12 months).\n \n \n \n \n Work Done.\n \n \n \n \n Machine Shop.\n \n \n \n \n Machine Work.

Students obtaining 50-75% are appointed as chargemen.\n\nStudents obtaining 75% or over are appointed to superior positions as these become available.\n\nThe standard of instruction in the Technical School is well up to the examination standard of such bodies as the Institution of Civil Engineers or of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.\n\nThe specialised equipment used on the railways for signalling and other purposes is kept thoroughly up to date; but there is much room for improvement in the equipment of the Strength of Materials and Prime Movers Laboratories.\n\nIn addition to the Special Apprenticeship System the Railway has a very sound scheme of training trade apprentices, these being moved from one gang to another within the department, in which they are apprenticed. The duration of apprenticeship is five years. Attendance at evening courses at the Technical School is compulsory for all apprentices, English being one of the main subjects taught.\n\nThe value placed on a good general education can be gathered from the rates of pay on which apprentices start. It will be observed that these are solely dependent on the educational standard of the apprentice.\n\nRATES OF PAY OF APPRENTICES, F.M.S.R.\n\n \n Daily Rate of Pay.\n Standard V.\n Standard VI.\n Standard VII.\n Junior Cambridge.\n Senior Cambridge.\n \n \n 1st Yr.\n -/40 cents\n -/48\n -/56\n -/64\n -/72\n \n \n 2nd Yr.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3rd Yr.\n \n \n -/80\n \n \n \n \n 4th Yr.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 5th Yr.\n \n \n -/88\n \n \n \n\nOn completion of apprenticeship rate of pay varies from S$1.08 to S$3.32 according to skill and responsibility. It should be understood that a number of years must elapse after completion of Special Apprenticeship training before it is possible for a man to rise to $3.32 per day, which is the maximum rate for a leading hand.\n\nTradesmen receive free quarters or a rent allowance in lieu.\n\nThis crop being very definitely seasonal, those employed in its cultivation have long periods of idleness between seasons. To enable the more industrious portion of the population to turn this free time to account, it was decided to open a Trade School which would enable its students either to turn out good class work, mainly furniture, for the local markets, or to build the wooden houses mainly used by the Malay.\n\nOn the other hand, no maintenance allowance is granted, and, owing to the scattered nature of the population it has not been found possible to keep the school quite up to full strength. The annual entry is limited to thirty, no fees being charged.\n\nThe minimum educational standard of entrants is Standard V of the Malay Schools, and the duration of the Course is three years.\n\nIn spite of the difficult nature of the Malayan timbers, the standard of work done in joinery is of a very high order.\n\nUnfortunately, just previous to the date of the present visit, a sale had been held of the furniture made by the school. Good prices were realised for the stock sold, and judging from the quality of such articles as remained, tables, side-boards, gramophone and wireless cabinets, etc., the articles sold must have been good value. Prices up to $40 were realised. Several remaining articles at $20 seemed well worth the price asked. It is probable that this sale will become an annual event.\n\nOn completion of the course all students receive, gratis, a nucleus tool kit to the value of approximate £2 sterling. This is quite sufficient to enable them to undertake any normal work.\n\nIt is interesting to note that a number of passed students have combined to form a Co-operative Society for the production of furniture. They cannot enter the field of open competition till they attain the age of 21, but at present they are making tables and desks for the Education Department at contract rates, and doing the job very well.\n\nThroughout the course students are required to produce working drawings of the articles which they propose to make, prepare bills of quantities, and render estimates of the cost of each such article. The work is very well carried out.\n\nNote: All furniture made is of European pattern, well jointed and polished, and quite up to the quality seen in most Chinese shops in Hong Kong.\n\nThe three instructors who have all been engaged locally are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts.\n\nInstruction in Carpentry is gradually being made general at Schools throughout the State. Two instructors are appointed to each school, one appointment being made each year. Appointments are for two years, the instructors being passed students from Bagan Serai, who receive a small pay of $27 per month. This is sufficient to provide a fair number of these students with the necessary capital to set up small workshops of their own.\n\nOne student has obtained a permanent position at Johore Bahru Trade School.\n\n36", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545812, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "18\n\nT\n\n19\n\nJOHORE BAHRU :\n\nThe State of Johore pursues an educational policy quite apart from the other Malay States and largely ascribes its freedom from an unemployment problem to this policy. All promotions from the Malay to the English Schools are by a Scholarship Scheme, great care being taken to prevent more boys obtaining an English education than can be absorbed by the Government Departments and foreign firms operating in the State.\n\nSome alarm has recently been felt at the increasing spread of immigrant Chinese among the outlying villages, where their greater industry and skill has, in many cases, enabled them to corner the local carpentry and tailoring trades. To prevent this peaceful invasion producing unemployment among the Malay population, it was decided to open the Trade School at Johore Bahru.\n\nStudents for the Trade School are recruited from the lower stages of the English Schools from those boys who seem more likely to make successful artisans than clerks; and also by selection from the upper classes of the Malay Schools.\n\nThe work done is largely on the lines of Bagan Serai, but actual instruction is given in the design, layout, construction, and erection, of simple timber structures. Where considerations of space intervene, e.g. in building a complete wooden house, the building is made half size.\n\nIn the tailoring section instruction is given in cutting and making all types of garments; and in this work particularly the Malay is said to excel. A member of a high-class tailoring establishment at Singapore visits the school once a week and has commented very favourably on the standard of work done.\n\nBoth the carpentry and tailoring sections have a scheme whereby students, during their training, can, by industry, accumulate some capital with which to start business. All afternoon work is voluntary, and during this time all work for which payment is received is carried out. After paying for materials plus 10%, the students working on any job are credited with a proportion of the profits, depending on seniority and the number of hours worked. The student is only entitled to this money on satisfactory completion of his course.\n\nIt is contemplated that, on setting up for themselves, these boys will be assisted by a subsidy of work from the Government until they are well established.\n\n(8) FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.\n\nUntil there is a revival in rubber and tin there is very little possibility of the further development of the Trade School system in the Federated Malay States. The importance of handwork is, however, not being lost sight of, and all schools, both for boys and girls, are introducing handicraft classes as soon as may be convenient.\n\nIn the Straits Settlements it is worthy of note that the Trade School vote, large as it is, was the only one which was not challenged on presentation of the last Estimates. Indeed, the general interest shown by the community in this development is very great, much space being devoted in the press to discussion as to the lines which should be followed. Such an interest can only arise from a strong belief in the value of the training received, and should be of great help to boys seeking employment.\n\nAt Singapore a vigorous policy of expansion is probable. Over 30,000 houses exist without modern sanitation, and these are to be converted in due course. There is a great dearth of plumbers in Singapore and a branch school specialising in plumbing is to be opened. It is proposed that only plumbers holding a municipal certificate be allowed to undertake the foregoing work, the standard required for the compulsory trade test being set by the Trade School, whose staff will conduct the examination on which the required certificate will be issued. A School of Building is also proposed, but this is at present in abeyance, there being a very close \"Building Ring\" in the Straits. The training of overseers and inspectors for the Public Works Department is a possible side issue.\n\nConsideration is being given to the training of boys in such trades as printing, bookbinding, sign writing and the other activities which come under the headings of \"Arts and Crafts\".\n\nAn endeavour is also being made to establish a School of Electrical Engineering. It is recognised that this will require very delicate treatment as the gap between the Electrical Fitter and the Electrical Engineer is very large and almost impossible to bridge, unless the student has a first-class general education. The Electrical Fitter would probably be recruited from boys who have done two years' Trade School and then two years' Specialised work on electrical machines, instruments, cables, installation, etc. The demand for this class of work is at present not great, but the future large requirements of the Naval Base should be carefully gauged. Some degree of specialising in wireless repair would probably be financially sound, but a large amount of blackboard work, possibly as evening classes, would be essential for the sound working of an Electrical Engineering Branch of the Trade School.\n\nA new Trade School is about to be opened in Malacca, but it is not yet decided what form this school will take.\n\n(9) SUMMARY OF SALIENT POINTS.\n\n(1) There is no special pre-apprenticeship system in Malaya.\n\n(2) There is no permanent resident population with an industrial tradition from which to draw pupils.\n\n(3) The standard of education required of entrants to Trade Schools is high.\n\n(4) Age of Trade School entrants is about 15—16.\n\n(5) The Trade Schools supply a complete apprenticeship.\n\n(6) The standard of skill is extremely high.\n\n(7) The automobile repair trade is well adapted to the Trade School System.\n\n(8) Passed students are specially suitable for accurate work such as is required for aircraft or armaments.\n\n(9) Students now in employment are very satisfactory.\n\n(10) The cost per head is not excessive.\n\n(11) Local opinion favours extension of the Trade School Scheme.\n\n(12) The Straits Settlements contemplate Schools of Electrical Engineering, Plumbing, Building and \"Arts & Crafts\".\n\n(13) The Commercial value of English is high.\n\n(14) The Special and Ordinary apprenticeships of the P.W.D. and F.M.S.R. are worth study.\n\n(15) The Technical School at Kuala Lumpur is well organised for its purpose. The contact with \"practice\" is excellent.\n\n(16) The engagement of Trade School boys at Central Workshops as improvers should be followed closely.\n\n(10) THE TRADE SCHOOL SYSTEM AS IT AFFECTS HONG KONG.\n\n(The Marginal Notes refer to previous reports No. 1-The Inauguration of the Junior Technical School, No. 2-The Apprenticeship System in Hong Kong.)\n\n38", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545813, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 30, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "Report II Page 6\n\nPara. I.\n\nReport I Page 3 Lines 16-20\n\n(1) The Heavy Engineering Trades:-\n\nThe similarity between the types of apprentice required by the Hong Kong Dockyards and the Federated Malay States Railway Central Workshops is remarkable. Both desire to train their own apprentices on practical work and require of the Educational System that it should provide them with apprentices with a sound general education, with a pronounced engineering bias if available. The size of the machines operated in the Dockyards, the enormous pieces of machinery to be handled and machined, make it quite clear that a boy trained in a trade school would be unsuitable for direct employment as a journeyman in a heavy engineering workshop. The experiment of the Federated Malay States Railway of taking in passed Trade School students as improvers should be closely followed.\n\nThe ideal scheme of instruction is along such lines as have been operating successfully at Kuala Lumpur Technical School viz.-practical training in the works combined with a carefully co-ordinated system of training in the Technical School; the whole to be based on a sound pre-apprenticeship training.\n\n(2) The Automobile Repair Trade :-\n\nThis trade, as already mentioned, lends itself very specially to Trade School instruction. The standard of work done in Hong Kong is on the whole bad, and is characterised by a degree of carelessness impossible in a Trade School trained apprentice. There would seem to be every hope of such a school being a pronounced success, but certain points must be observed\n\n(a) The standard of the Trade School student must be sufficiently above that of the outside apprentice to attract the attention of the best firms.\n\n(b) It is not worth while giving a Trade School training to a boy without insisting on a knowledge of English, either on entry or to be attained during training.\n\n(c) The rates of pay in the Straits, relative to the cost of living, are at least 50% higher than in Hong Kong. Care must be taken NOT to attract to a Trade School boys of a class which would regard $30-$40 a month as insufficient.\n\n(d) As in the Junior Technical School it would be best to attract the sons of foremen, etc., in the garages. These could either pass through a preliminary course at the Junior Technical School or be recruited direct from the English schools. About 30% of the students without any trade connection could be recruited direct from English Schools. The placing of such students should not be difficult if the bigger motor agencies can be interested, as it certainly would pay them to be.\n\n(e) A connection should be established from the beginning with all branches of the Public Works Department which run workshops. The width of the course in the Trade School would enable it to undertake a fair amount of Public Works Department work and a certain number of its students would make valuable additions to the workshop staffs.\n\n(f) The development of Hong Kong as an airport should give openings which will otherwise be filled by imported labour.\n\nIt is suggested that much confusion of thought can be avoided if it is recognised that the aims of a Trade School in Hong Kong would be:-\n\n(a) To effect an improvement in the skill of the artisan employed on light engineering work.\n\n(b) To bring modern methods before the eyes of the garage proprietors.\n\n(c) To provide a reliable, educated type of foreman,\n\nIt should be understood that the boy trained in a Trade School would not, on leaving, find the Automobile Trade his only source of employment. He would be well equipped for any branch of the Light Engineering Trades.\n\nThe Building Industry.\n\nThe position remains much as stated in Report No. 2 page 7 and after. It is hoped to be able to lay a proposed system of part-time apprenticeship before the Government and the Master Builders at an early date.\n\nA start has however been made by providing an evening course in Practical Carpentry, Drawing and Workshop Arithmetic, confined to boys connected with the Trade. This course should provide useful data for future action. The course has been strongly supported by the Master Builders Association.\n\n(II) FURTHER ACTION.\n\nBefore further action can be taken in considering the future of Technical Training in Hong Kong, a decision on the following points is required.\n\nI. Is the scheme for Building & Light Engineering Trade Schools to proceed?\n\nII. If so (a) Will the buildings contain all Technical Training Schools, viz.,\n\nJunior Technical School\n\nBuilding School\n\nLight Engineering School\n\nSenior School\n\non one site?\n\nor (b) Will a system of decentralisation be preferred?\n\nIII. Will a site or sites be earmarked at an early date to enable a comprehensive scheme to be submitted?\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545814, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "23\n\n# APPENDIX I.\n\n## PENANG TRADE SCHOOL\n\n## PROSPECTUS\n\n41", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545815, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 32, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "25\n\n-\n\nGOVERNMENT TRADE SCHOOL.\n\nBATU LANCHANG LANE.\n\nPENANG.\n\nPROSPECTUS.\n\nAIM.\n\nThe school is designed to give such a training as will enable boys of this Settlement to follow a trade for a livelihood.\n\nBUILDING & EQUIPMENT.\n\nThe school, which is situated in Batu Lanchang Lane, has been specially built and designed for the purpose.\n\nThe equipment includes everything necessary to a modern work and machine shop and all fittings and tools likely to be used by the students after leaving the school.\n\n(a) The Machine Shop is equipped with 31/2\", 6\" and 8\" self surfacing, sliding and screw cutting lathes, shaping machine, high speed and sensitive drills and grindstones.

Where considered advisable, they may be allowed to specialise in other trades for which they have been found suited—Blacksmith, Tinner, Electrician, etc. As far as possible, the third-year course is so arranged as to suit each student's inclination or ability.\n\nThe benchwork will consist of exercises in chipping, filing, and scraping, including the use and care of hand tools, cutting key ways and fitting keys, tapping and screwing, fitting of taper pins, sheet metal work, the use and manufacture of calipers, gauges, etc., marking off, brazing, remetalling, and fitting of bearings, etc. In all these operations, the importance of absolute accuracy will be insisted upon.\n\n27\n\nIn the Blacksmith's Shop, students will be taught the properties of various metals and alloys and will carry out simple bends, welds, joints, etc., and will be given instruction in annealing, hardening, tempering, case hardening, etc.\n\nThe Machine Shop training will consist of practical lathe work, shaping, grinding, screw cutting, machine drilling, surfacing, tool making, spare parts, etc.\n\nIn the Motor Mechanics Shop, the theory, maintenance, and repair of motor vehicles will be taught, together with the making and fitting of simple spare parts, testing, care, and vulcanizing of tyres, charging and repair of accumulators, and maintenance and repair of electrical equipment.\n\nA machine drawing course will be given extending over the first two years. This will include the use of a drawing board and instruments, drawing to scale, isometric projections, sections, design of simple machine parts, reading working drawings, etc.\n\nMathematics required in elementary engineering work will be continued so that students can make any calculations required—take off quantities—find cubical contents, etc., and Geometry as far as necessary will also be taught.\n\nThroughout the course, strict attention is paid to absolute accuracy of working and calculation. Observance of correct workshop routine and time-keeping, stores issuing, and costing is insisted on.\n\nA successful student after completing his three years' course should be capable of dismantling a car, making sketches of all simple parts to be renewed, choosing the correct material, making his own tools, and machining, finishing, and fitting the actual parts to be adjusted and made ready for the road. A student should also have a good working knowledge of the general organisation of a modern garage and its workings.\n\nFirst Year\n\nSecond Year\n\nThird Year\n\nHOURS OF ATTENDANCE\n\nStart\n\n8 a.m.\n\n8 a.m.\n\nBreak\n\n12—1 p.m.\n\nClose\n\n3.00 p.m.\n\n12-1 p.m.\n\n3.30 p.m.\n\n8 a.m.\n\n12-1 p.m.\n\n4.00 p.m.\n\nThe school will be closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and all Government Public Holidays. It will be closed for short holidays at Xmas, Easter, and Mid-Summer. The re-opening day of each term will be stated on the Students Report at the end of such term.\n\nATTENDANCE\n\nRegular and punctual attendance will be insisted upon. No student must be absent without permission from the Principal unless a letter is brought from the parent or guardian giving a satisfactory and adequate reason, and permission is then given by the Principal.\n\nDISCIPLINE\n\nStrict discipline will be enforced at all times. A record will be kept of all minor offences, and any student who has an unsatisfactory record is liable to suspension or, in the case of continued misbehaviour or a serious offence, immediate expulsion. The decision of the Principal and the Inspector of Schools will be final.\n\nREPORTS\n\nA report on each student will be prepared at the end of each term, giving an account of attendance, conduct, work, and progress, and forwarded to the parent or guardian.\n\n43", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 545817, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "page_number": 34, "title": "CO129-549-7 Trade School- suggested institution based on Malayan examples 11-5-1934 - 26-9-1934", "content_text": "28\n\nMEDICAL ASSISTANCE.\n\nThe students will be examined from time to time by the Government Medical Officer and free medical assistance will be given at Government Dispensaries on production of a request signed by the Principal.\n\nSpecial terms for treatment may be obtained at approved Dental and Eyesight Clinics in the same way.\n\nCERTIFICATES.\n\nOn satisfactory completion of the full course (but not otherwise) Certificates will be issued to students and whenever possible the school authorities will give every assistance in placing them in employment.\n\nSPORTS.\n\nThe Sports are run by a Sports Committee of students with the Instructor as President.\n\nVISITS.\n\nVisits are arranged from time to time to various Engineering Establishments, Workshops, etc.\n\nMonday\n17th March, 1932.\n\nT.
