| AdminHistory | A sub-committee was appointed in October 1899 to consider and report on the course of instruction in the brass founding classes held at the Technical School in Birmingham. It had been communicated at the first meeting that the school had no members of staff with experience in modelling and pattern making to train students to compete with continental workers in the trade. A report was to be drawn up and presented to the main committee with recommendations for future teaching practice at the school, after which the sub-committee ceased to function, although a Brass Classes Sub-Committee appointed briefly during February 1907 by the Technical Education and Evening Schools Sub-Committee (see BCC/1/BH/4/7/1/1), after which a standing Brass Classes Advisory Committee was appointed (by the same body) in 1911 (see BCC/1/BH/4/3). |
