REPORT
OF THE SCHOOLS FOR THE SESSIONS OF x9o9-1o.
"I'~tE results obtained in the schools this season have been excellent, due to the ability and efficiency of the staff of instructors and to their harmonious working to maintain a logical sequence and cumulative effect. This is difficult in a night school, where applicants of very different abilities and experiences are received at any time, but it has been accomplished with a remarkable degree of success, and we believe that a much larger proportion of the total number of students receive valuable benefit here than in most institutions of the kind.
The course in Geometric, Isometric and Machine Drawing, Mathematics, Strength of Materials, and Machine Design is very complete and requires time and considerable hard work, but serious students, who really mean to profit by this opportunity for an engineering education, should take all the branches in the order named.
The course in Architectural Drawing is of great use to those connected with the building trades and is thoroughly practical and complete in itself.
The course in Free-Hand Drawing is intended for decorators, illustrators, designers, and art beginners, and is complete in itself.
The course in Nawfi Architecture, although highly specialized, should be well patronized in this centre of ship-building, but before entering it applicants should take the same course in mathematics which is preliminary to machine design, unless they are already pretty well versed in it.
The real merit of this school should be better knowu and understood, for it stands upon this alone, and receives very little benefit from advertising, exploitation, or publicity agencies of any kind. WILI.IAM }I. "I'ttORNE, Director.
