This is a very excellent means of transplanting tlie advantages of 
the school directly into tlie industries, and thereby keeping alive 
tlie interest in tlie school among the tradesmen. Several objects 
were on exhibition whicli had been produced through the instru- 
mentality of the Institution in this manner, and whicli gave evidence 
of a very refined taste. Specially prominent among these objects 
were the works of the joiners. In modelling (plaster and wax) 
ornamental and flgure subjects had been executed, and the exact, 
severe treatment of the forms deserved all praise. 
Linear drawing is carried on quite as systematically as free- 
hand drawing, and the geometical constructions always find their 
application in practical examples. Truly excellent work was espe- 
cially shown by the School for Building-Mechanics, which also 
exhibited very pretty architectural designs. The execution of the 
drawings was as precise as it was simple ; and so-called exhibition- 
drawings, only calculated to catch the eye of laymen, were 
nowhere to he seen. 
The St. Pauli Industrial School, which is under the care and the 
administration of the General Industrial School since 1870, also 
submitted very good work. 
Although the Industrial Schools of Hamburg were not brilliant 
in pompous tableaux, rather contenting themselves to exhibit their 
achievements to the public in a more modest form, they never- 
theless attracted the attention of specialists to a high degree, and 
gave thorough satisfaction on all sides, for the very reason that 
their appearance was so unostentatious. 
The Institution sent almost all its teachers to visit the exhi 
bition at Vienna; and the increased experience there gathered 
will no doubt contribute to the further development of the 
schools. 1 
In 1867 there was also opened in Hamburg a Girls’ Industrial 
School (instruction during the day), which embraces all the branches 
of general education, and in which drawing is likewise eultivated 
1 It was only to be regretted tliat tlie Hamburg Industrial Museum had 
but a limited supply of funds to make purcbases of art-industrial objects at 
tlie "World’s Fair. In t.liis respeet tlie collections of Germany, Austria, and 
Ilussia had been more abuudantly provided for.
