a drawing. Landscapes are copied in like manner with great success.

The crayon is also employed in this class for drawings that require less finish.

Some of the leisure time of the children is devoted to such studies as the exquisite heads or designs by Jullien, as well as to flower painting: for the former there is no distinct class, as such drawing is deemed by many to rank more as an accomplishment than an exercise with a practical benefit; the latter is cultivated, for the same reason, to a very slight extent, attention being only given to it in class hours, when the pupil is qualified to copy from the flowers themselves, arranging them into groups according to his taste.

4. Mechanical and architectural drawing.-To this course classes 1 and 2, section A, may be considered introductory. The models and copies for the pupils here are of every description: plans and elevations of buildings, sections of engines or machines, or the five orders of architecture.

A case of mathematical instruments, with a stretching board for the paper, are indispensable for the pupils of this class. The drawings may either be left in outline or coloured. For representations of steam engines, or sections of machinery of every description, sepia or Indian ink may be employed for the shading with very good effect.

Many circumstances will oblige the course, of which the above is a brief outline, to be varied. The limited time, and still more limited resources available for the cultivation of drawing, may cause discouragement; but it will be found in this, as in every other case, that in proportion as the work is set about heartily, and proceeded with with spirit, so may results be looked for really beneficial to the pupil, and, at the same time, satisfactory to the teacher.
