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. Arithmetic 2 Algebra 2 Geometry 2 Trigonometry 2 Analytical geometry and calculus 1 Mathematical problems involving physics and mechanics 2 Descriptive geometry 4 Bookkeeping 2 Physics 4 Mechanics 2 Electro-technics 4 Chemistry 4 Chemistry and pharmacy 4 Free-hand drawing 2-4 Aquarelle 4 Projection 4 Ornament 4 Trade drawing according to occupation 4
