geometrical  drawing  in  the  plane,  to  drawing  in  spacc,  as  practiced
in  descriptive  geometry.  It  appears  to  us,  however,  that  it  would
be  better  to  go  through  stereometry  at  once,  in  geometrical  projection,
  witli  good  aids  for  teaching,  if  it  is  to  be  continued  at  all.
“  Drawing  Geometry,”  by  G.  Müller,  is  a  very  practical  little
work,  by  means  of  whicli  the  pupil  can  principally  be  trained  in
the  use  of  Ins  instruments.  The  “  Collection  of  Naturalistic  Ornaments ­
  ”  for  inferior  decorators,  by  Ch.  Kämmerer,  contains  neatly
  executed  plates  in  the  French  manner.
As  a  world’s  journal  of  art-industry,  the  “  Work-Shop,”  of
Stuttgart,  was  exhibited  in  seven  languages.
The  architectural  publications  of  Conrad  Wittwer,  Stuttgart,
must  also  receive  honorable  mention.
Baden.  —  The  Grand  Duchy  of  Baden,  the  same  as  at  Paris  in
1867,  participated  but  little  in  the  Educational  Exhibition  at
Vienna.  The  Industrial  Improvement  Schools  receive  the  best  of
care  in  tliis  country,  and  their  number  at  present  amounts  to
forty-three  ;  their  aim,  however,  is  general  education,  rather  tlian
special.  Great  attention  is  also  paid  to  the  education  of  the
female  sex  since  1870.
Specimens  of  the  work  of  pupils  were  exhibited  only  by  the
Industrial  Educational  Institution  of  Carlsruhe.  Among  these
specimens  most  of  the  industrial  branches  were  represented,  and
the  decorative  designs  (vessels  and  furniture)  deserve  to  be  especially
  mcntioned  for  their  elegant,  tasteful  style,  and  their  exact,
artistic  execution.  Excellent  studies  from  Greek  and  Oriental
(polychrome)  Ornaments  must  likewise  be  noticed.  Of  modelling
  there  was  but  little,  most  of  it  ornamental.
Of  drawing-copies  there  were  exhibited,  “Ornamental  Drawing
for  Citizcns  and  Industrial  Schools,”  by  W.  Tönius  (Carlsruhe)  ;
the  forms  represent  various  styles;  the  execution  is  somewhat
hard.  The  “Landscape  Studies,”  by  J.  W.  Schirmer  (died
1863),  published  l>y  Vogelweider  (Carlsruhe),  liave  been  reproduced
  in  excellent  style,  and  will  also  be  a  welcome  gift  to
the  friends  of  art,  as  a  memento  of  this  poetical  artist.
