Image 1 in the Figures Series
This figure is one of two that sits above the main entrance on the west side of the Toronto District School Board's Central Technical School. The two figures together represent the two sides of the school's curriculum. This one in cap and gown, reading a book, represents the academic side. The other, in work clothes, holding a hammer and chisel, represents the technical side. They were not included in the original design for the building but were instead, according to a history of the school, a gift by the Scottish stonemasons who worked on the construction.
