Gladioli and dahlias filled the major portion of the town hall, Brighton, when the Brighton Horticultural Society held their autumn show on Saturday, April, 11.
The society has a junior members’ circle, and the centre or nucleus of this lies in the gardening work being carried out among the children in the Brighton Girls’ Technical Schools. In the school classes in horticulture are attended by every girl, and they find it one of the most interesting subjects in the curriculum. At the spring and autumn shows of the Brighton society an extensive display of flowers and vegetables are shown, entirely grown by the children, under the guidance of their gardening teacher, Miss M. Kraefft. At the display on Saturday, phlox drummondii, zinnias, French marigolds, ageratum, perennial aster, African marigolds, dahlias, and miniature sunflowers were a few of the kinds used and artistically arranged from the school garden.

YOUTH ADMITS CHARGES.
When the Brighton Technical School was broken into on December 18, and again on February 8, chemicals, mathematical instruments, microscopes, transformers, barometers, and other appurtenances, valued at £80 were stolen. The Wilson street State school, Brighton, was also broken into on December 5, and school requisites valued at £3/10/- were stolen,
Roy McKenzie Tingman, aged 17 years, Oak grove, Brighton junior radio mechanic, was presented at the Brighton Court on Friday on three charges associated with the robberies.
Constable Fidler said that he had intercepted Tingman, who was in company with another youth aged 16 years, in Orchard grove, Brighton at 1 o’clock in the morning on March 12. A suitcase carried by one of the youths contained a number of keys and housebreaking implements.
Tingman admitted that he and his companion had broken into the Brighton Technical School twice previously and that they intended to again enter the school on that night.
They had divided the stolen property, which was later recovered in a shed at the rear of Tingman’s home, and at a house where the other youth lived.
Tingman, who pleaded guilty to the three charges was committed for trial at the Supreme Court on April 15. He was also committed for trial on another charge of having broken into the house of Francis Mauger Smith, Oak grove, Brighton on or about December 22, and with having stolen a camera, books, electric light wire, and other articles, valued at £15.

ANNUAL EXHIBITION.
DEVELOPMENTS IN DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Significant developments in courses of domestic economy and homecrafts were proclaimed by the president of the Brighton Technical School council, (Mr. H. A. Abbott), in an address at the opening of an extensive exhibition of students’ work at the school on Wednesday evening. The Mayor of Brighton, (Councillor Kennedy), members of the city and school councils, Messrs. W. R. Dean and O. F. Nilsson, (Inspectors), and Mr. Gilbert Wallace, of the Education Department, and the newly appointed principal, (Mr. Percy Everett), accompanied the president at the opening, which was attended by a very large number of citizens.
The president intimated that the appreciation by the women of the southern suburbs of the guidance afforded in special branches of household science had prompted the council to arrange public demonstrations in domestic subjects. These lectures and displays had proved so successful that it was proposed to extend the curriculum of the Cora Lynn College of Domestic Economy, which formed such an important adjunct to the school, to cover many advanced courses in special cookery, confectionery, modern dressmaking, tailoring, millinery, and design in the new year to meet the growing demand for adult tuition.
Miss F. Swan, the head mistress of Cora Lynn, was commended for the strong development which had been recorded during the year in both the junior and senior sections of that branch of the technical school. Hundreds of girls were now completing their general education and gaining, in addition, a knowledge of technical subjects which enabled them to fill important places in business and industry and to become efficient and accomplished citizens.
Presentations of newly designed silver and bronze medallions to successful junior day girls for 1931 were as follows : -
Miss Sheila Scott, dux of 3rd. year, silver medallion; Miss Margery Dorey, proxime accessit, textbook; Miss Elva Madder, dux of 2nd. Year, bronze medallion; Miss Mavis Winduss, dux of 1st. year, bronze medallion.
Despite the universal difficulties of the year the various departments of the school had been strongly maintained, and indications of a renewal of youthful devotion to study were evident throughout the senior technical branches, which covered an extensive range of industrial, scientific, commercial, and art subjects. The work produced by the art department called for special commendation. Mr. R. G. Perry, head instructor of the boys’ junior technical school, had again guided that branch of the school through a successful year, and numerous junior and senior technical certificates and scholarship awards were anticipated.
Presentations were made as follows : -
Dux of the school, 3rd. year course, Thomas Brown, silver medallion; dux of the 2nd. Year, Lindsay Williamson, bronze medallion; dux of the 1st. year Daer Cooper, bronze medallion.
The exhibition will be continued today, during the day sessions only, at the main school and workshop buildings in Berwick Street and at Cora Lynn, in Cochrane street.

BRIGHTON SHOW.
BRIGHTON SHOW.
The Brighton Horticultural Society has an enviable tradition behind it. In the early days, when Brighton was a fashionable outer suburb of Melbourne, the shows held there were among the finest held in Victoria.
The girl students of the Brighton Technical School arranged a table of garden flowers, flowering shrubs, and vegetables grown in the school gardens. The material was artistically arranged in colour harmonies, and was a credit to the gardening ability of the students. The zinnias and asters were especially good, and golden yellow sprays of the Chinese tree of gold, Koelreuteria paniculata, attracted attention.

CLARK FRASER MEMORIAL.
CLARK FRASER MEMORIAL.
The Clark Rae Fraser memorial, which has been erected at the entrance to the Brighton Technical School, marks a decade of worthy service in the interests of the school by the late Mr. Clark Rae Fraser, as principal from the date of its inception.
The memorial has been designed and constructed entirely by associates of various metropolitan technical schools. The site is near the entrance to Snowball House, the chief administrative section of the four groups of school buildings. In designing a memorial which would comprise as many features as those favoured, the principal (Mr. Percy E. Everett, F.R.V.I.A.), was set a difficult task. A composite modern design was evolved, however, possessing well-balanced architectural lines, and many details of interest, the chief features being a pylon, flanked with curved balustrades, facing Berwick street, and a lily pool on the school side.
The structural portion of the memorial was executed in brickwork, and faced with synthetic stone, the work of the students of the Collingwood Technical School. A feature of the central pylon is a reproduction of the school crest in “opus sectile,” a form of mosaic art. This crest, that of the family of the late Mr. Snowball, M.L.A., symbolises the many valuable services performed on behalf of the school by a pioneer and early president of its council. A crazy pathway leads from the school entrance porchway to the lily pool. Suitable planting, to form an effective back-ground, has been done.
The ceremony of dedication of the memorial will be performed on Sunday at 3 o’clock, by the director of Education, (Mr. James McRae).

MORE ACCOMMODATION NEEDED.
Reference to the value of training given at technical schools was made at the annual exhibition of work of the Brighton Technical School last night. The president of the school council, (Mr. H. A. Abbott), said that the objective of the council was to make the school the centre of educational activities in Brighton. There was great need for extensions to provide more accommodation, particularly in the Cora Lynn girls’ section of the school.
The chief inspector of secondary schools, (Mr. E. P. Eltham), said that technical schools provided an outlet for the abilities of young people who were unable to continue their education at full-time schools. They were providing a facility the value of which could not be estimated in terms of money.
The Chief Secretary, (Mr. Macfarlan), said that although education in Victoria cost about £2,500,000 a year, the revenue, even with increased high school fees, was only about £60,000 a year.
However, education could not be made the basis of monetary estimation, and the only object of the Government was to ensure its efficiency without permitting it to become too heavy a burden.
Reference was made to the naming of sections of the school after men who had given valuable service on its behalf. The latest was the Taylor House, named after the town clerk of Brighton, (Mr. J. H. Taylor), who had been a member of the school council for some years.
The principal, (Mr. Percy Everett), in his report stated : -
Much praise has been accorded the efforts of Miss F. A. Swan, mistress in charge of the Cora Lynn girls’ branch of the school, for the splendid tone maintained, and sound instruction. The inspectorial board has commended the staff for the high standard of training afforded. The number of girls at Cora Lynn, which considerably exceeds that of former years, is still limited through lack of accommodation.
At the entrance examination for about 50 vacancies, nearly 200 girls applied on Saturday last, but only 25 per cent of these applicants can be accommodated. The school council is making urgent representations to the Minister for extensions to Cora Lynn.
Medallions were presented to the following students who gained distinction in their studies during 1933.
Dux of the Girls’ Day School : - Josephine Sneesby, who enrolled here from the Elwood Central School. Proxime Accessit, Dorothy Coleman, (Sandringham State School). Dux of Second Year Students : - Mavis Winduss, (Brighton State School). Dux of First Year Students : - Peggy Boss, (Caulfield Central School).
The following girls were awarded senior technical scholarships : - Dorothy Coleman, Domestic Arts, 3 – year course; Marjorie Mills, Industrial Art, Dressmaking and Needlework , 3 – year course; Josephine Sneesby, Industrial Art, Dressmaking and Needlework, 3 – year course.
Notwithstanding the dearth of suitable positions for girls, no difficulty was experienced in placing a very large proportion of the girls who had completed the full course of training in the junior technical school at Cora Lynn.
There was another satisfactory enrolment in the boys’ junior technical day school, where a high standard of work was again maintained. In the absence of Mr. R. G. Perry, B.Sc., on a tour of England and the Continent, Mr. G. C. Baker, B.A., Dip. Ed., acted as assistant-in-charge of the boys’ school. Improvements were made in the facilities for the boys, notably the provision of a reading-room, in addition to the existing library, and the commencement of work on the out-door gymnasium. Sports and athletics were in the care of Mr. H. G. Wakeling as sports master.
Medallions for successes in 1933 were presented to : -
Dux of the School : - Lindsay Williamson who formerly attended the Elwood Central School. Proxime Accessit, Gordon Male, (Brighton School). Dux of Second Year Students : - Daer Cooper, (Brighton School). Dux of First Year Students, Courtney Morrison, (Hampton School).
Senior Technical Scholarships, as under, were gained by : - Lindsay Williamson, Mechanical Engineering, 3 years; Colin J. Baillie, Industrial Art, (Commercial Art), 4 years.
In the senior school excellent progress was maintained during a difficult year. The fees received for the year exceeded those of 1932 by nearly 50 per cent. The dressmaking department of the Cora Lynn branch, devoted chiefly to instruction in women’s subjects, again attracted many students, who, under the guidance of Miss H. Vince, reached a high standard in dressmaking and designs. Many improvements were made in the housing and equipment for this progressive department.
The millinery section again gave many students valuable knowledge of this important subject. Cookery department also at Cora Lynn attracted many ladies desirous of improving their knowledge of the preparation of special dishes, savouries and confectionery. The courses in invalid cookery were also well attended. The standard was appreciated by the Nurses’ Board during the year. Recognition is now given those who qualify at Brighton. The demonstrations provided by Miss G. Shapcott and Miss L. Chilvers were a distinct success, and give promise of further development during 1934.
In the senior art classes an increased number of full-time day students produced excellent work in applied and commercial art subjects, and there was creditable advancement by some of the first year art students.
Recognition of the standard of work achieved has been given by many firms in their applications for students to fill positions in designing and commercial art vocations. This department is making rapid progress under the guidance of Mr. A. T. Bernaldo and Mr. R. C. Crebbin. The commercial branches, including shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping, were again well attended. Improved accommodation was provided for the classes, which will be extended over a large number of evenings weekly next year. There was a heartening renewal of interest by students in the trade classes. Engineering machine shop practice, plumbing, carpentry and electrical trade classes attracted many senior students.

The crest of the Brighton Technical School is unusual as it is that of the Snowball family. It is a horse’s head on a plate sable. The original escutcheon contained three silhouetted heads against the plates.
Authority was granted for the use of the family crest as the school badge to commemorate the valuable service given by the late O. R. Snowball, former M.L.A., when the school was founded and his work as president for several years.
The design was slightly amended by the introduction of the chevron, which enabled the words Brighton Technical to be introduced. The crest is used by Cora Lynn Girls’ School, the boys’ branch, and the senior departments at the school. There is no motto.

Annual Meeting in July.
It was announced at the monthly meeting of the Melbourne Orphanage committee, at Melbourne Town Hall yesterday, that the annual meeting would be held on 26th. July. A letter from the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria was read in regard to the placing of a suitable danger sign near the Dendy-street entrance of the orphanage, which also leads to the Brighton State School. The Brighton council will be approached to obtain a permit to have the sign erected. Recently two children were seriously injured at this crossing.
Good reports of the orphanage children attending the North Brighton Technical School were read at the meeting.
Several members of the committee unfavourably commented on the suggestion of Mr. Perkins, Minister of the Interior, that octoroon children, who are forced to live with full-blooded and half-caste black children in the Central and Northern Australian special compounds be received by a Melbourne or other mainland capital orphanage.

Hurlingham Park, one of Brighton’s most popular amateur sports grounds, may be lost to the Australian code of football as a result of the decision of the Victorian Metropolitan Amateur Football Association not to allow any more of its matches to be played on the ground until extensive improvements have been made.
One of the principal complaints about the park was that the playing area had not been completely enclosed. Delegates complained at a meeting of the association that the park improvement committee had been inactive.
The ground is used by the Old Brighton Technical School in the A. section, and Brightonvale in the B. section.

EXTENSION OF BRIGHTON TECHNICAL SCHOOL.
Plans for extensions, which will cost about £4,600, have been made for the Brighton Technical School, which is playing its part in filling the increasing demand for technical education. There are 600 day students, in addition to the evening students in advanced classes. Almost 6,000 students have passed through the school since it was founded in 1922. For most of that time the original head master, Mr. C. R. Fraser, was in charge. He died at his post in 1932, and at the end of last year his successor, Mr. P. E. Everett resigned to become chief architect of the Public Works Department. Mr. I. Topperwien, who became the principal this year, was formerly at Wangaratta, where he introduced agricultural classes which have now become part of the organisation of all country technical schools.

GAOL FOR BIGAMY.
SECOND OFFENCE.
GAOL FOR BIGAMY.
SECOND OFFENCE.
A teacher, who was described as a man of considerable scientific attainments, pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy in the Criminal Court yesterday. He admitted a previous conviction for a similar offence.
The accused was Herbert Eric McCulloch, aged 47 years, of Lindsay street, Middle Brighton, and he was sentenced to imprisonment for 12 months. He admitted nine convictions for previous offences, including bigamy, marriage with a minor, forgery, uttering, false pretences, and larceny as a bailee.
Mr. J. V. Barry, who appeared for McCulloch, said that his client was deaf as a result of war injuries, and that might have had some influence on his criminal career. McCulloch was first convicted of having uttered a forged medical prescription while he was a student at the University in Sydney. Later he was convicted in Western Australia of having forged certain diplomas. When the circumstances of that case were fully explained, he was released shortly after his sentence.
McCulloch was a man of considerable scientific attainments, Mr. Barry continued. While attached to the Medical Department at Port Moresby his service won the commendation of the Administrator, (Sir Hubert Murray).
In Western Australia he was pathologist in the Department of Agriculture, and later he became senior science master at colleges in Maryborough and Brisbane. At the time of his arrest he was science master at the Brighton Technical School, and the members of the staff considered that he was the best teacher that the school had ever had.

JUDGE’S COMMENT.
Mr. Justice Lowe : - What is one to do with a man of this kind? The depositions show that he has gone through the form of marriage with a number of women, although it is true that only one charge has been preferred against him.
Mr. Justice Lowe told McCulloch that his conduct showed that he had treated the requirements of the law relating to marriage with the utmost contempt. He could not pass that over lightly. He would take into account the fact that McCulloch had been in prison for four months, and would sentence him to imprisonment for 12 months.
Mr. Barry was instructed by Mr. J. T. Flanagan.

A deputation from Brighton council asked the Minister of Education, (Sir John Harris), for financial assistance towards purchasing an acre of land adjoining Brighton technical school. The deputation said that it wished to extend the playing area of the school, which was too restricted.
Sir John Harris said a substantial grant already had been made to Brighton technical school for building extensions. It was regrettable that the department did not have money to spend for such desirable plans.

An interesting social event and a welcome change to the students in the curriculum at Brighton technical school was provided yesterday, when a mannequin parade by about 220 girls, wearing the frocks, coats and hats made by them as students of the junior classes, was held.
In the afternoon the parade was open to the public, and there was a gathering of 170, including wives of members of the school council and the Brighton city council and mothers of students.
Additional proof of the ability of the girls was provided in the delectable afternoon tea they supplied for the visitors, everything on the tables being made by the students of the cooking classes. The receipts, which will be devoted to school funds, amounted to £16. The work of the scholars reflected the highest credit on the head mistress (Miss F. A. Swan).

INSPECTION OF SCHOOL CADETS.
Despite the inclemency of the weather, there was a large gathering at the Brighton Technical School last night, when the newly formed cadet corps of the school paraded before the Governor, (Sir Winston Dugan), who was accompanied by Captain Henry, A.D.C.
The gathering included Mr. Macfarlan, M.L.A., the Director of Education, (Mr. J. A. Seitz), the Chief Inspector of Technical Schools, (Mr. E. P. Eltham), the mayor, (Cr. Young), and members of the local council and their wives. The official party was received by Mr. R. Hayball, president of the school council. The sixty cadets, looking smart and trim in new uniforms, were inspected by his Excellency.
Under Lieut. F. Fargher, the cadets marched to the school grounds, where the girls and boys of the school were also marshalled.
The mayor, welcoming the Governor, said Australia was passing through times more serious than most people realised, and he thought municipal councils should be given greater opportunities for helping in the way they desired. Unfortunately, our defence policy was based on the British navy, and the country was not being organised as it should to be prepared for anything which might happen to the British navy.
As the Governor began to speak drizzling rain fell, and he expressed regret that it should spoil the ceremony. Referring to the present disturbed state of the world, he said the Empire had at its back splendid men and women, and particularly was that the case in Australia. (Applause.) As an old soldier, he was accustomed to standing in the rain – and in snow and other conditions – but he did not desire to keep his listeners out in the rain. Amidst laughter, as the rain ceased, his Excellency said : “Now it has stopped. I propose to go on a little longer.” (Applause.) Addressing the cadets, he said the youth of this country would be the men and women of the future, and on them would depend the safety of the Empire and the preservation of freedom. Christianity, and all that made up a good life. We wanted to support the weak and protect them from those who desire to overcome them.
We belonged to a great Empire, which was grateful for the support it was getting from the Dominions. He congratulated Victoria on the part it was playing, and he could assure them that it was greatly appreciated by the mother country. (Applause.)
The official party was then escorted on a tour of the buildings, and inspected the annual exhibition of the students’ work, which will be open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m., and from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. to-day and to-morrow.
