In ah schools controlled hy the Scotch Education Department, systematic
instruction in Art is given a place in the curriculum for all pupils from the
commencement of school life to the completion of the Intermediate course at the
normal age of fifteen years. Beyond this stage, in the Secondary schools. Art is
an optional subject of study.
The schools are classified into three divisions, the Primary, the Intermediate
and the Secondary. At the age of twelve years the diild is presented for the
"Qualifying Examination" and it is at this period that he has to decide his future
course of education. If he elects to complete the compulsory number of years
education at the Primary school he enters the Supplementary class at that sdiool
for a further period of two years. If he wishes to pursue a course of higher
education he enters the Intermediate sdiool at the age of twelve years for a three
years' course of instruction, the successful completion of whidi is marked by the
award of the "Intermediate Certificate." Further instruction is provided in the
Secondary sdiool for a period of two to three years and culminates in the pupil
being presented for the "Leaving Certificate."
Art instruction is given in. the Primary sdiools by the class teacher, an
average time of two hours per week being devoted to it. In a few cases the
Sdiool Boards (or other local authorities) have appointed trained art teadhers as
supervisors of drawing for a group of sAools, and the systems of instruction in
art in these schools are under their personal direction.
In the Infants' Department of the Primary SAoo! a considerable advance
has been made in correlating drawing with educational handwork, and the children
work with suA materials as clay, dialk, pastel, lead pencil, water colour, tinted
paper, raffia and cane, wool, etc. The aim of the instruction is to cultivate
keen perception and bright imagination, and to furnish the children with the
mediums best suited for expression through graphic representation. Hence we
find imaginative and illustrative drawing taking a place in the scheme for young
children. Representations from actual things in all suitable mediums are made
throughout the course. One of the most interesting and successful experiments
