BOROUGH OF SHOREDITCH.
Shoreditch Monicipal Cechnical Schools,
35 and 37, HOXTON STREET.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Vestry of the Parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in the County of London.
Gentlemen,
In presenting my Fourth Annual Report of the work of the schools and of the
various classes engaged, it gives one complete satisfaction to be able to state,
that in the opinion of the Technical Committee, the progress made is entirely
satisfactory.
I desire also to express my entire approbation not only with the general
attendance, but also with the great interest manifested by the students in all
branches of instruction.
Considering that the School is strictly a Trade School and that no student is
allowed to join a class unless he is already engaged in that specific trade and also
considering that many are unable to attend regularly owing to the system of work
adopted in the workshops, I certainly think our progress is eminently gratifying.
This want of continuity in their studies has handicapped many students from
making that marked proficiency they would otherwise have attained, and yet taking
all this into consideration the Committee feel that the progress of the School is one
of its greatest characteristics. ,
By referring to the synopsis of attendance at the end of the Report, it can be
seen at a glance that a remarkable improvement has taken place in the regularity of
the students.
