A rt School Notes
and the arrangements are such that in the day-
time all available light is flooded into the school,
whilst in the evening electric light, installed on
the latest principles, provides as good an artificial
illuminant as it is possible to obtain. The equip-
ment of the institution is likewise on the most
adequate scale, providing for every branch of art
work.
The new school is ar-
ranged on the central hall
plan, the hall and balcony
being utilized for the pur-
pose of a school museum.
On the ground floor are
a lecture room, spacious
elementary rooms, a crafts-
room for the pursuit of
metal work, jewellery, and
wood-carving, and a pot-
tery decorating room,
equipped for ceramic work.
On the first floor are capa-
cious antique, painting, and
life rooms, library, model-
ling and casting rooms,
design room and conserva-
tory, headmaster’s office
and studio, and students’
common room. The light-

inadequate and unsuited for the work of the school,
and the gift by a late townsman, who had for many
years been a liberal patron of art, of a convenient
and valuable site hastened the erection of a school,
which is in every way up-
to-date, convenient, and
well equipped, and which
will give the students
opportunities for further
advance.
The curriculum of the new school includes a
general art training, such as will fit a student to
devote himself to any branch of art work ; a course
of study, such as will enable the primary school
teacher to more capably undertake elementary art
teaching; and a special education, such as will better
equip the ceramic artist and designer for his work.
Those desirous of a general art training have every
opportunity for studying the various branches of
draughtsmanship, painting,designing, and modelling,
special facilities being provided for drawing and
painting from the nude and costumed model.
With regard to the instruction of elementary school
teachers, a course of study has been prescribed
which will the better fit them to give art instruction
