At Boulogne the trades schools was
| visited as representative of the trades
instruct ton in smaller French cities. A
decided tendency is to educate the pupils
artistically as we'll as in skilful manipu-
lation. Places in the schools are eagerly
sought by ambitious young persons who
desire to prepare themselves for higher
positions in the trades. Breadth of train
ing in the French schools is indicated by
the course pursued in the Etienne profess
sionai school for bookmaking. where, dur

the pupil is introduced TO the rudmenta
OF the various associated trades taught in
