inctive. It
instructs chiefly the sons of tradesmen and superior artisans. There
are three departments in the school:

First--that of engineering and architectural drawing.

Second--modeling department.

Third--the department of decoration, housepainting, etc.

The session covers both winter and summer months, the winter term, as in
other cases, being the better attended. Other typical Gewerbeschulen are
located at Grenzhausen and at Reimscheid. Applicants for admission must
have prepared in the Volksschule or elementary school. The programme
comprises the German language, French, English, literature, plane and
descriptive geometry, physics, chemistry, drawing, mechanics, machine
construction. The preparation here obtained fits the participants to
enter the higher schools, or to act as foremen and masters. These
schools also lead up to the industrial schools of Bavaria, of which we
shall now speak.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS OF BAVARIA

(Industrieschulen)

The industrial schools of the Bavarian Kingdom stand out as a distinct
class of educational institutions. Here, since 1872, there has been a
clean cut system, presided over by a Minister of Education. While the
quality and character of the work done are quite similar to that taken
up in the secondary schools elsewhere, the institutions are in some
respects more exactly defined and supervision and instruction in the
schools of weaving, woodcarving, basketmaking, pottery, violin making,
etc., is frequently superior to that in some other locality.

The age of admission is sixteen years, two years being the usual length
of course; the education of the Real-Schule is a requisite, or failing
this, an examination must be taken. In 1901-1902 the Munich schools had
an enrollment of 241 students, distributed as follows: mechanical
engineering 124; chemical engineering 27; architecture 62; commercial
28. The graduates are fitted to occupy positions of trust and prominence
in the various industrial pursuits of the country and to enter the
technical colleges.

The Industrieschulen of Bavaria are four in number, located at

they having been established in 1868. Advanced courses are offered in
mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, building construction, and
commercial education. The school at Wuerzburg is of a somewhat superior
order, although secondary in its tendenci
