heim,  Mergentheim,  Tübingen,  Neresheim,  Aethaussen,  Elingen,
Blaubeuren,  Waldsee,  Herbertingen,  Spaichingen,  and  Horb  were
likewise  represented  by  specimens  worthy  of  notice.
The  “  Women’s  Work-School”  of  Reutlingen  exhibited  very
tasty  needlework,  as  well  as  very  pretty  drawings.  Instruction
in  drawing  and  coloring  in  this  institution  is  intended  to  lead  the
pupils,  by  successive  stages,  to  the  invention  and  execution  of
tasty  designs  for  the  various  branches  of  female  handiwork;  the
construction  of  geometrical  plane  flgures  and  bodies  is  also  taught.
The  “  School  for  Inferior  Decorators  ”  (painters)  of  Reutlingen
likewise  exhibited  some  specimens  by  its,  pupils,  which,  however
lcft  much  to  be  desired  in  regard  to  taste  ;  the  same  may  be  said
of  the  designs  of  the  Weaving  School  of  Reutlingen,  which  were
unsatisfactory  both  in  color  and  in  forms.  The  motives  of  the
Weaving  School  at  Heidenheim  were  somewhat  lighter  and  more
graceful. 1
Stuttgart,  with  its  higher  schools,  and  as  the  central  point  of
art-industrial  education,  naturally  had  also  more  important  results

i  The  Industrial  Improvement  Schools  of  Wurternburg.  —  It  ia  very  interesting
to  note  tlie  population  of  tbe  various  towns  and  villages,  in  wliicli  tlie  schools
spokeu  of  by  Prof.  Langt  are  located.  Some  of  tliem  are  so  small  tliat  tliey
cannot  be  found  in  any  “  Gazetteer”  or  geograpbical  band-book.  Tbe  following
  Statistical  table  is  made  up  from  Ilitter's  “  Geograpbiscb-Statistiscbes
Lexikon,”  Otb  edition,  1874.  Wbere  no  figures  are  given,  tbe  population  could
not  be  learned.
