Originally intended for children only, the demand has been so great that special classes have had to be arranged for adults as well. All lessons are free - two young boys in class Louie Chan, 12, and Ian Jones, 12, both from Fitzroy in Melbourne with their teacher Mr Bruce Lew [photographic image] / photographer, Don Edwards. 1 photographic negative: b&w, acetate
