with nearly equally goocl results, and tliat even the youngest 
schools were represented by the most praiseworthy specimens. 
This shows how excellently the whole educational System of Wur- 
temberg is organized in this respect, and how beneficial unity of 
System is to education itself. 
Unfortunately the results only of the schools had been kept in 
view in the Exhibition, and the method had not been illustrated 
by successive drawings; which, in the presence of the results, 
would have been especially desirable. 
Industrial Improvement Schools are at present to be found in 
155 places (110 cities, 45 villages) of the kingdom of Wurtem- 
burg; and these, according to their Organization, are divided into 
the following groups : — 
Improvement Schools, in which instruction is given on Sundays 
and evenings, in the industrial and commercial branches, and 
which have public drawing classes (5). 
Improvement Schools, with industrial instruction Sundays and 
evenings, and public drawing classes (15). 
Improvement Schools with instruction on Sundays and evenings, 
without public drawing classes (92). 
Improvement Schools with industrial instruction in the evening, 
without instruction on Sundays (10). 
Drawing Schools simply, without further instruction (33). 
The number of pupils, amounting to 8,876 in 150 Industrial 
Improvement Schools in 1870-71, rose to 9,763 in 1871-72 in 155 
schools ; 7,430 of the pupils being under, and 2,333 over, seven- 
teen years of age. 
Besides these schools,'the country possesses of technical institu- 
tions of learning, the Polytechnieal School and the Building-Trades 
School at Stuttgart, and, for the special cultivation of art, the Art- 
School at the same place. 
It is impossible to review the achievements of each separate 
school without exceeding the space at command ; but it will prob- 
ably suffice, for the purposes of general characterization, to touch 
upon the most noteworthy only. 
In freehand drawing, a beginning is generally made with the 
drawing-copies by Herdtle, published by the Royal Commission 
on Industrial Improvement Schools.
