Some of the above named institutions are in certain localities styled
apprenticeship schools. These train workmen and foremen of a minor
degree. Shop work is offered, and in some cases pure and applied art as
well.
The evening work of the so-called Artisans' Schools of Berlin, are
deserving of special mention. There are two such institutions, called
respectively school number one and school number two. The first was
established in 1880; the second in 1892. The aim of these schools is to
give to tradesmen and apprentices in their leisure hours such a
knowledge of drawing, the arts and sciences, as will find an application
in their own lines of work.
The grade of instruction varies from quite elementary work to that for
advanced students, the latter being obliged to present evidence of
fitness before entering.
The following courses are offered, the figures indicating the number of
hours per week devoted to each.
