ABSTRACT OP PROCEEDINGS. lxi. 



Mr. James Nangle read a paper upon the Technical 

 Training of Apprentices, in which he showed how the 

 instruction at the Technical College was adapted to make 

 the apprentice a more efficient craftsman. He was watched 

 and tested throughout his course and his work had always 

 a technical bearing as regards his own particular trade. 

 The craftsman could in time work up to the University 

 standard. 



Following some remarks by Mr. G. P. Darnell-Smith, a 

 committee was appointed to consider the question of sug- 

 gesting to the Government the advisability of making 

 attendance at the evening school on one or more evenings 

 a week, compulsory for boys between the ages of fourteen 

 and sixteen years.
