related to art has been made in the teaching of sewing. Working with coloured
materials, the sense of beauty is combined with that of utility and the handwork
exercise is suited to the physical development of the child at all stages.
The primary course culminates in the supplementary classes, which to some
extent provide a considerable element of specialised instruction. Drawing in
relation to nature study and school gardening has proved its value in providing
interest leading to more intensive study in these subjects. Education up to this
stage, age fourteen, is free and compulsory for all Aildren and a successful ter^
mination earns for the pupil the award of the x>Merit Certificates.
T he Intermediate and Secondary Schools in almost all cases, are staffed
with specialists and equipped in a manner to satisfactorily cope with problems
of higher education. In the Intermediate course, eaA pupil devotes from two to
three hours per week to practice in drawing and his work now assumes a broader
and more artistic aspect. Bach teaAer has the privilege of drawing up his own
scheme of work along certain recognised lines. Representations of real things, in
colour, lead pencil, pen and ink, clay etc. form the basis of study, the aim of the
exercises being to present problems of gradually increasing difficulty in drawing
and teAnique. Outdoor sketAing, the drawing of interiors, simple life studies
etc. are gradually forming part of the regular work.
On attaining the age of fifteen and having gained the x-Intermcdiate Certi*
ficates the pupil may enter upon a course of Secondary education extending
over a period of two to three years. The subjects are now arranged in groups,
and the pupil is thus enabled to select the particular line whidi he desires to
follow out.
Art instruction is now of a more advanced Aaracter, and practice in
drawing, painting and designing and the carrying out of the designs in the actual
materials forms the basis of all sAemes. SketAing from nature, visits to art
galleries and museums, and to craft shops find a place in many courses. In-
struction in the history and development of Art and ArAitecture is given in an
increasing number of sAools. At the end of this course (about four hundred
hours of instruction) the work is examined, and a test to verify it is set by officers
of the Education Department who visit the sAool for this purpose. Pupils who
satisfy the examiners are awarded the x-Higher Drawing Certificates. The
successful completion of the Secondary sAool course is marked by the award
of the ^Leaving Certificates, whiA is recognised by the Universities and edu-
cation authorithies as indicating a thorough training in general education.
