Miss Eklund, and in paint-
ing on china by Miss Bore-
nius. There were also
classes for decorative
painting and xylography.
A few years ago the artistic
supervision of the school
was confided to Mr. Armas
Lindgren, an architect by
profession, who reorga-
nised the curriculum,
taking for his models the
best Continental schools
of the same character.
Thanks to the untiring
energy and enthusiasm of
Mr. Lindgren, who de-
votes to it the greater part
of his time, the school is
daily growing in import-
ance, alike in respect of the
number of pupils who
attend and also in respect of the beneficial influence
it is exerting on art. The figures for last year are
extremely gratifying. The school numbered 304
male and 141 female pupils; of these 231 came
from various parts of Finland, 195 from the city of
Helsingfors, and 19 were foreigners. More than
300 of the pupils were workers following one or
other trade.
Several new industries have been recently added
to the courses of instruction. A class for metal

work is under the direction of Mr. Eric Erhstrom,
a true artist, whose pupils have turned out some
remarkably good work, especially Miss Lagersborg
and Miss Lihr. Mr. Finch has charge of the
practical pottery class, the pupils of which perform
the various operations connected with this branch
of industry, such as the preparation and composicion
of clays and glazes, “throwing” on the wheel,
shaping and moulding, and themselves decorate
and fire their own work. The pottery of Miss
Eklund and Miss Juselius has a wide reputation
and is much sought after by
the public, but we are un-
able through the absence of
good photographs to repro-
duce specimens of it here.

It will be seen from the
accompanying illustrations
that the decorative charac-
ter of the work done at
the school is altogether un-
like that of other European
countries. It is peculiar to
Finland and distinctive of
the race. There is at the
same time a marked differ-
ence in the colour schemes.
The tones are always more
