pupils of the latter Institution. The heads from nature were more 
feeble. The pupils of the Sunday Course for Painters likewise 
had good results to show in the various branches. 
The Polj'teehnic School exhibited the plans of its magniflcent 
building, as well as autographs of buildings, and the well-known 
collection, “ Arcliitectural Studies,” published by the Society of 
Architects of the Polytechnicum at Stuttgart. The Institution 
consisted, in the school-year 1871-72, of a mathematical division 
(in two classes), and a technical division, with six special schools. 
The Art-School of Stuttgart exhibited diverse studies from 
nature, together with original compositions by its scholars. 
Among the latter, a summer landscape of charming conception, 
with man)' flgures, and a drawing in Sehwind’s manner, illustrat- 
ing the tale “ Siebenschön,” especially attracted our attention. 
The studies of heads in oil sliowed very good intentions. The 
results of the study of the figure were more feeble. 
Before elosing this part of our report, we must also spealc of 
drawing in the People’s Schools of Wurtemberg. According to an 
Order of the Royal Ministry, dated May 21, 1870, the subject is 
tauglit in the People’s Schools wherever tliere is a desire for it, on 
the one hand, and the necessary teachers can be had, on the other ; 
with the proviso, however, that thirty liours per week for instruc- 
tion in all subjects shall not be exceeded, and that nono of the 
other compulsory subjects shall be slighted. Any extensron of 
instruction in drawing beyond this limit is left to mutual agree- 
ment between the communal authorities and the teacher. As a 
rule, instruction in drawing does not begin before the pupil has 
reached the twelfth year ; and its end and aim is defined to be, the 
attainment by the pupil of an understanding of form, together 
with some dextcrity of execution, so that the feeling for the beau- 
tiful may be developed and exercised, and the pupil may be pre- 
pared for usefulness in life. Aeeording to the regulations, free- 
hand drawing only (without mechanical aids) is permitted, at first 
from charts, at a later period from copies, the attention being 
strietly eonfined to outline-drawing. The specimens on cxhibition 
sliowed unity of System throughout (Herdtle’s examples), and the 
best results. The outline Ornaments were executed on a pretty 
large scale, whicli can only be of advantage in the People’s 
Schools.
