BRUSSELS.—The professional
school founded in Brussels
by the syndicate of working
carvers and jewellers has
been exhibiting in the Palais du Midi
an interesting collection of the work
produced under the instruction of its
teachers. It is not exactly a profes-
sional school, however, for the students
receive technical training in the various
ateliers in which they are working. " It
is," to quote a recent description, " a
school of applied art devoted to
jewellery, wherein the chief object is to
teach the students to compose for
themselves, and to develop their fancy
and their inventiveness. Apart from
the essential composition classes di-
rected by MM. Van Strydonck and
Fernand Dubois, there is an historical
art class for jewellers' apprentices,
under the charge of M. Titz, who
strives to imbue his pupils with that
general artistic sense which, unfortu-
nately, is lacking in most of our
craftsmen."
