A panoramic view of St Clair, St Kilda and part of South Dunedin from the steps above Valpy St, St Clair. The director of King Edward Technical College (Mr A. Marshall) reported as follows:-"The day school, officially designated the Technical High School, opened last week with a slightly increased attendance upon that of last year. The new pupils seeking instruction in commercial work are again out of all proportion to the number of first-year entrants for other branches. This large enrolment is no doubt in a measure due to the thorough equipment provided in the Technical College for commercial work, to the conspicuous success of the students in the Government shorthand-typistes’ examination, and to the important positions secured by a large number of the students. (Mr McFadyen), and woolsorting (Mr McGregor), we have no ground for the practical work of the most important part of the subject.
