ART EDUCATION. 
Domschke’s “ Drawing of Ornaments,” in two crayons, is 
not as recommendable ; tlie motives are stale, and tke execution 
hard and black. The “ Drawing-school in Wall-Charts,” by Tro- 
schel, is good as far as instruction in form and in Ornament is con- 
cerned; the continuation in figure-drawing is objectionable; the 
ckarts for projection are superfluous. Projection must be demon- 
strated by the teacher, and the figures must be drawn upon the 
blackboard by him. 
The “ Berlin Systematic Drawing School,” by W. Hermes, was 
represented by its jubilee edition of 1872, in nineteen vohunes. 
For amateurs these things may perhaps do ; for serious instruc 
tion in drawing they are not fitted. 
The various pictures for the lower grades of object teaching 
were surprisingly deflcient. With the exception of Sclmorr’s 
Bible Pictures, none of them rose above the level of the ordinary 
picture-sheets for children. 
Saxony. — The exhibition made in the Pavilion of Education by 
the Roj-al Saxonian Government principally embraced, according 
to the preface of the special catalogue, “ only such aids for teaching, 
and other objects for educational purposes, as owed their origin 
to the savants, schoolmen, and manufacturers of the kingdom.” 
But further on we find it stated, “ that even in this respect it was 
impossible to present a complete picture, as onty very few of the 
numerous and important works relating to the subject, and ema- 
nating from the university of the country and from its technical 
high schools, had been sent to the Exhibition.” 
Any further Information as to the reasons for this omission was 
not supplied ; but it appears that the question of space had pre- 
vented a more comprehensive display of the Saxonian Educational 
Exhibition. This can only be regretted, as it is well known, that 
education in Saxony, both general and industrial, occupics a very 
high position. In regard to general arrangements and statistics, 
the necessary Information was given by a report which had been 
specially written for the Exhibition. 
Industrial instruction in Saxony is adapted to the necessities 
of the working classes, and, compared with Prussia, the special 
schools have been developed much more extensively. Drawing
