M. Gray, Chairman. Extract from the Report of the Chairman of the Board of Governors op Canterbury College. School of Art. As compared with 1904, the numbers in attendance were: 1904:—First term 252, second term 275, third term 293; 1905—first term 283, second term 298, third term 306. This shows an increase of sixty-six on the previous year, the increase being mainly in the afternoon and evening classes. Drawing and painting: Instruction has been given in drawing and painting from life, still life, landscape from nature, and drawing from the antique. A number of new casts have been obtained for use in this department. Modelling, moulding, and casting was carried on as in previous years, being attended by painting students as well as those taking applied art. Professor Lanteri's casts were obtained for this department, giving a bust in three stages for modelling. Applied art-work : The classes in this department have been larger than in previous years, especially in repousse and carving. The class in plant-form and its relation to design was very well attended. Painters and decorators' work: The judges appointed by the Painters' Union state the work in this section has greatly improved, most particularly in writing. The stencilling was also of a high order, and the judges had considerable difficulty in awarding the prizes. A written decorated panel was considered worthy of a special prize. Decorative design was taken in the morning and also in the evening, and was worked in conjunction with the other classes as much as possible. The tinsmiths' geometry class was not held, there not being enough applications to make a class worth starting. Geometry and perspective: The classes in these subjects were well attended, and the work has been of a very practical nature. Instruction to teachers and pupil-teachers has been the same as last year. The work was in accordance with the syllabus of the Education Department for teachers' certificates. Architecture and building-construction: The students of the architectural class have shown a great deal of interest in their work throughout the year, and have put in some very creditable work. The studentship has been won by a young student who has widened his desire to succeed, and has submitted some good work. The advanced building-con-struction class has had fewer students this year, the reason being that the students from the elementary class of the previous year did not come for the advanced course. The elementary class this year has been under another teacher, and has been well attended, with very good results. The Stateschool scholarships for boys and girls were awarded to fourteen boys and eleven girls. Their attendance was good and their work satisfactory.
