to more complicated objects. Neat little moclels of machines are 
likewise to be mentionecl with praise. 
The Weaving-School at Rumburg (establisked as late as 1872) 
exliibited excellent results throughout. The numerous portfolios 
d early demonstrated the correctness of tlie course of instruction, 
which begius with outline Ornaments (Herdtle), and advances 
gradually to complicated flat Ornaments in color. The latest and 
best copies are in use in this school, and special value is attached 
to the exact study of the various styles. Linear drawing also 
gave evidence of the best results. 
The success of the Moravian Higher Weaving-School at Brünn 
is well known. In designing, Herdtle’s Ornaments and natural 
flowers make the beginning, and are followed by the study of the 
scales of color, nomenclatures, &c., practice in designs with stripes 
andmixtures, flower-painting in body-colors in specified tints, with 
reference to their application in printing or weaving, studier for 
rosettes and palmettos for damasks, pattern-making, &c. In the 
higher classes there are flnallj- practiced more complicated colored 
Ornaments of all styles, for the various purposes of weaving. It 
need hardly be said, that masterly produetions were to be seen in all 
these branches, and that the school decidedly holds the first rank 
in its category in Austria. Mr. George Rödel teaches in this school, 
and Ins original designs are mostly used as copies by the pupils. 
The same tried master also exhibited many of his sketches for 
textile fabrics, together with his published Schools of Orna 
ment, all of which gave testimony of his eminent fitness for his 
specialty. 
The designs of J. Holfelder for cloth-printing, embroidery, &c., 
must likewise be mentioned here ; they combine the forms of the 
Renaissance with the taste still existing in France. 
Ho st of the other schools exhibited only practical work, the 
examination of which does not belong to this department. Of 
diawings, it remains only to mention the achievements of the 
Technical and Industrial JHuseum at Cracow, — well-drawn Orna 
ments and heads from casts (in crayon and in charcoal), of bril- 
liant execution, which left hardly any thing to be desired in the 
way of technical, artistic flnisli. 
It will be seen that the demand for Industrial Drawing-Schools,
