Technical High School.

INTRODUCTION.

HE SYDNEY TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL is conducted in well-appointed class-rooms within the Central College buildings. The Students have ample opportunities for scientific and practical instruc­tion in well-equipp~d laboratories and workshops.

THE ADIS OF THE SCHOOL.

The School aims at preparing boys for the engineering trades and professions, and for archi­tecture. With that end in view the greatest amount of time is devoted to the subjects essential

for a preliminary training as engineer or architect, while the curriculum provides also for subjects having a purely cultural value.

The great developments now taking place in this city in engineering and in architecture make such a school a necessity.

THE Ct'.RRICVLU:\I.

The course of instruction is designed to give students a sound preparatory course in English, mathematics, science, and drawing. For those who wish to specially follow trades, scientific or profes­sional careers, the subjects treated will be found both suitable and helpful in securing the foundation work upon which they will sub­sequently build. Girls may elect to take either domestic science or dressmaking and millinery.

CoNDITIONs OF Am,11ss10N.

Those who have reached the standard of Class VI in Public Schools are eligible for admission.

The fee, payable in advance, is fr rs. per term.

LIBRARY AND READING Roo.M.

Students of the Technical High School have free access to the general library, which consists of upwards of 6,000 books of refer­ence and magazines, mainly scientific in character. In addition they have their own library, which contains a carefully selected list of books on general literature by standard authors.

In the laboratory simple experiments are carried out, following as far as J>Oss1ble, the order of the lectures, and illustrating them.

A descnphon of laboratory experiments, and the results arrived at, are to be entered neatly in special Laboratory Note-books. All work which appears in these books must he performed by the student in the laboratory. The note.books arc to he left in the laboratory in charge of. the t_each~r, and will he regarded as the most important factor In eshmating the value of each student's work.
