TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.
The Technical Institute was opened on Saturday, September 28th, 1912;
it was erected on the site of the old Latymer School in Church Street.
Provision for extension of the building, when necessary, has been made.
The heating is by low-pressure hot-water system, and the lighting by electricity.
The present accommodation consists on the ground floor of three workshops,
two classrooms, one lecture room, Secretary's room and sanitary conveniences
and cloakrooms, and on the first floor of two lecture rooms, an art room and a
domestic-subjects room with cooking apparatus. The floors and staircases
throughout are of fire-proof construction.
Mr. H. Farrands, M.A., is the Secretary. The institution is under the
control of the Middlesex County Council, but there is a local Committee for
technical instruction of fourteen members, two of whom are ladies. The
classes are divided into two main divisions (1) intermediate, for students of
both sexes from 16 to 18 years of age and over, with a two years' course of
work; and (2) senior technical, for persons of 16 years of age and over. For
1913-14, the classes began on September 29th, 1913, and end on May 2nd, 1914.
Some of these intermediate classes are held at Brettenham Road School. The
subjects are wide: commercial arithmetic and book-keeping, carpentry, French,
figure work and cardboard modelling, shorthand, typewriting, woodwork;
besides cookery and dressmaking for the young women. The intermediate
classes at Brettenham Road take commercial arithmetic, English, shorthand
and business methods.
THE SECONDARY SCHOOL.
The original school in Church Street was founded in 1624 by Edward
Latymer. The Secondary School is now managed by a Board of Governors
acting under the Middlesex County Council, who are responsible for the
financing of the school. The Elementary School is managed by the Vicar
and Churchwardens, and is not under the control of the Board of Governors of
the Secondary School.
