Woodwork extended
Because accommodation for woodworking classes at the Central Technical College cannot meet the demand classes are to be established at three metropolitan schools. The Minister for Education (Mr. Devries) announced this today.
He said that the classes at the Central Technical College, which had been conducted for a number of years, had always been reasonably well filled, but this year the number of applicants for enrolment had greatly exceeded the number that could be accommodated.
However, as such classes, which provided training in a useful hobby, were held in most manual training centres throughout the country, to meet the unexpected demand in Brisbane he had approved that classes be established at three of the main metropolitan manual training centre – East Brisbane, Sherwood and Breakfast Creek.
