C. Lane, Secretary. Extract from the Report on Special Classes at Southbridge. The dressmaking class under Miss Easterbrook has been productive of good results, and has been regularly attended. The teacher also is thoughtful and earnest in her work. In the cookery class, which was under Mrs. McCullough, there is nothing to be desired better in the way of teaching, the instructor being most capable.

C. Lane, Secretary. Extract prom the Report of the Chairman of the Board of Governors of Canterbury College. School of Engineering, Electricity, and Technical Science. During the year 175 individual students attended lectures, the hour-attendances per week amounting to 1,085. Twenty-nine students were taking courses for the university degree or for the associateship of the school, and 10 College students attended lectures in electricity and magnetism. Thirtytwo lectures were delivered per week, and instruction was given in drawing and designing, experimental work in the laboratories, and in field-work for 126 hours, the total instruction hours per week amounting to 158. Additional lectures : The number of lectures per week on the principles of civil engineering was increased from one to two. A special course in military electrical engineering was, by request, established, and attended by the members of the Canterbury Engineers. The fees for this course were paid by the Defence Department. This development, and the increasing tendency shown by the Government Departments to make use of the school, both for the training of selected officers and for experimental purposes, has been a feature of the year. i . At the University examinations in 1907, 5 students passed the final examination for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering ; 3 passed the first part of the second examination, 4 completed the first examination, and 1 passed the first part of the first examination. At the associateship examinations of 1908, 1 student passed the final examination for the Associateship in Civil Engineering. The passes in the subjects of the associateship course taught in the School of Engineering were—ln physics (B) (electricity and magnetism), 3 ; freehand mechanical drawing. 5 ; descriptive geometry (advanced), 7; steam-engine (elementary), 5; steam-engine (intermediate), 3; applied mechanics, 6; mechanics of machinery, 6; hydraulics and pneumatics, 5; mechanical drawing (second year), 5; strength of materials (elementary), 4; strength of materials (intermediate), 2 ; strength of materials (advanced), 4; theory of workshop practice, 1 ; surveying (elementary), 1 ; building-const nut ion, 4; principles of civil engineering, 3 ; electrical engineering (intermediate), 1. Associateship students taking subjects outside their regular courses attended lectures, passed examinations, and obtained certificates in—Surveying (elementary), 1 ; and principles of civil engineering, 1. One hundred and sixteen certificates were awarded to students who attended evening lectures and passed examinations in the following subjects : Freehand mechanical drawing, 10 first-class and 4 second-class certificates ; descriptive geometry and setting out work, 6 and 4 ; mechanical drawing— Section I, 5 and 11 ; Section 11, 6 and 4; Section 111, 3 second-class; steam-engine (elementary), 5 and 11 ; applied mechanics (elementary) 6 and 3; strength of materials (elementary) 5 and 2; steam-engine (intermediate), 1 second-class; strength of materials (intermediate). 1 second-class ; applied mechanics. 1 and 1 ; mechanics of machinery, 1 first-class ; hydraulics and pneumatics. 1 and 1 ; theory oi workshop practice, 1 and 2; building-construction, 1 second-class; principles of civil engineering, 1 second-class ; electricity (elementary), 3 and 8 ; electrical engineering, Section I, continuous current, 3 and 4 ; electrical engineering, Section 11, alternate current, 1 second-class.
