ton Museum benefited the fund in aid of the
Femaie Schooi of Art to the extent of no less than
^750. No. 43 Queen Square was acquired, and
in 1860 the school embarked in its new quarters
on the long and successful career that was termi-
nated only three months ago. W. T. W.
^ LASGOW.—The session of the Glasgow
g School of Art opened on 18th Sep-
H g tember with prospects more promising
^****^^* than any during the sixty-seven years
of its course. The new building operations are
in an advanced state ; it is hoped to complete these
by the beginning of next session. An entire attic
storey is being added, with the result that the
present accommodation will be more than doubled.
The Scottish Education Department has made a
building grantof ^13,000; this has been supple-
mented by a donation of ^3,000 from the Town
Council of Glasgow, and by liberal sums from
public trustees and private donors. The fund
has been augmented by contributions from the
staff and students—a proof of the loyalty the
School encourages in those connected with it.
An important departure is the conjoint working
with the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical
CoIIege in a course for a Joint Diploma in Archi-
tecture, the classes to be held in both Institutions

under a Director of Architecture, the joint classes
constituting the Glasgow School of Architecture.
The Technical CoHege classes have likewise
resumed for the winter, the enrolment being
entirely satisfactory. During the building opera-
tions the art section has perforce had to meet in
an old church, where the work of the staff and
students has been carried on under difHculty.
Now, however, the new buildings are so far advanced
that accommodation has been found in them for
the designing, modelling, printing and bookbinding,
and other classes, and the change should work for
the beneht of all. J. T.
TUTTGART.—In this city, besides a
Kunstgewerbescbule, or School of Arts
and Crafts as it would be called in
^*-*^ England, for the training of male students
in various branches of applied art, there is one,
conducted on much the same lines, for training
young women in those branches which are specially
suited to their capacity. This is the Stadtische
Gewerbeschule. As at the other school, the
majority of the students enter fora four years' course
