instruction, with good examples, while tlie latter will depend upon 
the activity and tlie diligence of tlie pupil. On the wliole, the Bava 
rian Industrial Improvement Schools, to judge by the specimens 
exhibited, leave much to he desired as yet in both respects. The main 
reason for the poor results may, indeed, he sought in the fact, that 
the preparation of the pupils in the elementary schools is exceed- 
ingly unequal, and that the -sveaker part of the pupils of these 
preparatory classes generally finds its waj _ into the Improvement 
Schools ; but local circumstances which hinder a systematic prose- 
cution of the course of instruction must also be taken into ac- 
count. Good drawing-copies would therefore be of the most 
urgent necessity in the drawing-classes. But wdioever looked over 
the portfolios of this category of schools was compelled to ac- 
knowledge, that, for the present, there are great defects existing 
in this respect. Forms of Ornament are still commonly in use 
which are antiquated, and which but rarely have any reference to 
practical application. As regards the technique, shading is 
mostly commenced too soon ; the drawing of forms is frequently 
abandoned too early, and recourse is had to making pictures of 
landscapes. In linear drawing, the elements of geometry are 
wanting in most of the schools; instruments are used in the first 
stages in drawing decorations of surfaces, mosaic floors, &c. ; and 
these exercises are followed up by projection and architectural 
drawing. 
The only praiseworthy exception was made by the school at 
Töls, which exhibited good outline Ornaments, and very respecta- 
ble drawings in various specialties. Günzburg also showed to 
better advantage ; the institutions of Werdenfels, Landsberg, and 
Aichach likewise gave evidence of good intentions. In the Im 
provement Schools of an agricultural tendency, topographical 
drawing is here and there practiced with tolerable success. 
Better results are naturally rgached in the day-schools; and the 
Institution at Rosenheim had sent very excellent work. In this 
Connection, the specimens furnished by the Building Trades School 
at Ratisbon must also be mentioned. They cleaily illustrated 
the course of instruction in all tlie branches of building drawing, 
and were among the best of their kind in the Bavarian Fxhibi- 
tion.
