may be designated as very satisfactory. They showed throughout 
a thorough comprehension, and a freedpm in the artistic treatment, 
which is all the more praiseworthy in view of the short period 
of the existence of the sehool. The work of the architectural sec- 
tion (linear drawing) must also be called exemplary. 
The Real-Schools in general, as has before been said, are still in 
want of trained teachers. But, from the results exhibited by the 
institutions of Pesth and Ofen, it became evident that these latter 
make an exception. The Upper Real-School of the city of Buda- 
Pesth must be placed first. The specimens, although specially 
selected for the Exhibition, showed a steady, correct course of 
instruction, a careful selection of Originals, guided by artistic 
knowledge, and a skilful application of technical means. Of linear 
drawings there were unfortunately exhibited too many specimens 
that gave but little insight into the course of instruction, and into 
the method. The drawings, especially those of machinery, were 
brilliant, — only too brilliant in color, and of superfluous finish for 
school-work. 
The course of instruction at the Royal Upper Real-School is 
likewise quite correct; but it appeared somewhat doubtful whether 
the specimens exhibited were indeed to be looked upon as results 
of instruction, or whether they were only intended to illustrate the 
course of instruction. The same is true of geometrical drawing, 
which, in accordance with the regulations still in force, comprises 
topographical, architectural, and machine drawing. The speei- 
mens exhibited were superbly executed, considering the ages. of 
the pupils. 
The State Upper Real-School of Pesth was also reprasented by 
very thorough and appropriate specimens ; the specimens of mod- 
elling of both the royal institutions of Pesth were likewise quite 
praiseworthy. 
Among the other schools of the country, the achievements of the 
Upper Real-School of Pressburg appeared to greatest advantage. 
The Real-Schools of Kaschau and of Gran are taught according to 
a good System, although a want of good Originals is still notiee- 
able in the last-named Institution, as well as in most of the other 
schools of the province. The same is true of most of the insti 
tutions of Transylvania, of which only the Middle School at Her»- 
mannstadt made a satisfactory exhibition.
