Craft Subjects in a Secondary Technical School

THE DONCASTER Technical High School caters for the needs of intelligent boys with practical interests. Experience shows that a substantial majority of these boys become applied scientists of some kind, either as technologists or technicians, whilst the number taking up trade apprenticeships continues to fall. We consider that, for such boys, the acquisition of skill is secondary to the use of craftwork as a means of intellectual development, and that there should be a close correlation between school craftwork and science and mathematics.
