There is also in Geneva a school of industrial art, the organization and work of which are substantially the same as the one at Munich, and the two are considered the best in Europe. This school is under the direction and administration of the Council of State of the Canton, which delegates one of its members to act as president of the commission which administers its affairs. Two classes of students are admitted, viz., regular scholars, who attend regularly and continuously either a general course of art study or some particular branch, such as carving, bronze founding, goldsmith’s work, etc.; and special students, apprentices, workmen, and others who arrange to receive instruction at stated hours. The pupils produce work which has a commercial value, and objects made in the school are kept for sale, a part of the money thus received being paid to the student executing the work. The courses of study embrace modelling and carving in plaster, stone, and wood; _repoussé_ work in metals; painting in water-color, in enamel, and on china; casting and chasing of bronze and the precious metals; work in wrought iron and engraving, besides the regular work of drawing-schools in general, such as drawing from the cast, from plants and flowers, and from the living model. The school occupies a very fine and spacious building, erected a few years ago at a cost of about $160,000, and is furnished with very admirable and adequate appliances, not only for study but for the execution of art-work on a considerable scale. The pupils are of both sexes, and there is no distinction of or separation between them in the organization of the classes. The discipline of the school is very strict, the time of each pupil coming in and going out being carefully noted, and the utmost regularity of attendance, during the hours covered by his course, being required of each pupil. All the regular pupils are also required to attend the evening schools of the city. Encouragement and recognition of ability and application are made in the form of prizes, which are awarded by means of competition or _concours_ held at different times, and on such subjects as are announced from time to time. The methods of study and discipline are all sensible and practical.
