ART EDUCATION. 
witli especial care. Tn tlie higher classes of this school attention 
is devoted more particularly to the designing of pattems. Tho 
instruction commences with the representation of simple linear 
Ornaments, borders, &c., executed from slight Sketches ; and tliis is 
succeeded by attempts at composition, for rosettes, decorations 
for flat surfaces, &c., in their application to the dress, and for 
other domestic purposes. 
The drawings and finished objccts whieh were exhibited gave 
eyidence of surety in the handling of form, and of a healthy feel- 
ing in original composition. Many of the patterns invented by 
the pupils of the Institution have found their way into various 
Journals of fashion. The specimens by the pupils of the “ Society 
for the Advancement of Female Industrial Activity” likewise 
deserve honorable mention. 
The Girls’ School of the Women’s Society in Paulsenstift also 
submitted drawings, whieh illustrated the practical character of 
the method in use in Hamburg. 1 
1 Industrial Schools at Hamburg. —According to tlie last yearly report (1874) 
of tlie “ General Industrial School, and. School for Jhiildim/-Medianies,” tlie .city 
of Hamburg bas voted eiglit liundred thousand tlialers (about six Imndred 
thousand dollars), for a building wliicli is to aceommodate tlie seliool in ques- 
tion, together with tlie Hamburg Real-School and tlie Industrial Museum. 
The rooms set ajiart for tlie Industrial School will embrace nineteen drawing 
and modelling halls, seven class-rooms for scientific instruction, several rooms 
for colleetions, and the necessary Offices, &c. The great Service whicli the 
Industrial Museum renders tothe school is fully acknowledged in the Heport, 
and the importance of instruction in drawing in the People’s Schools is tlius 
alluded to: “ It is of equally great importance to the activity of the Industrial 
School, that instruction in drawing is carried out rigidly and systematically in 
the Hamburg People’s Schools. Even now (i.e., after drawing in the People’s 
Schools has beeil taught only a short time) many of the pupils come to the 
school witli a much hetter preparation tlian heretofore; and it is therefore 
possible to make good draughtsmen of them wliile they are still apprentices.” 
The “ Industrial School for Girls” also possesses a building of its own, whieh 
was coinmenced in 1872. Tliis school was called into life by tlie “Society for 
the Advancement of Female Industrial Activity.” Being a private enter- 
prise, the cost of the building, one hundred thousand inarks (about twenty-five 
thousand dollars) was raised by subscription; but the city donated the land 
(twenty thousand feet) upon whieh it Stands.— Trunsl.
