will form basis for these studies in the pub

contents is new and has been collected and
edited with considerable trouble and care.
The fundamental idea of the work Is, that the
universal teaching in all public schools of the
elements of industrial drawing Is an essential
part of any general system of pubic educa-
tfop. The work contains report of the sys-
tenn followed in English institutions, and those
in other co lntries, in regard to technical In

industrial and nne al is. There are several
original papers in the work, designed with the
advance of this science, and it Is probable an
