THE CENTRAL SCHOOL OF ARTS AND CRAFTS

EMBROIDERY SAMPLER
BY MISS L. SEAR

selected from the exhibition which, in
accordance with the custom of the school,
was held a few weeks ago at the close of the
session of 1920-1921. Collectively this dis-
play, filling the large lecture hall of the
great stone building in Southampton Row
and one of the rooms adjoining, was a
remarkable manifestation alike of the range
and of the high standard of the work done
by the students in the various departments
of the school, and to do justice to it would
require far more space than can be given to
it here. 000000
As explained in Mr. Whitley's article
referred to above, the Central School,
which is under the direct and sole control

of the London County Council as the
education authority for the administrative
County of London, is really a group of
schools each conducted independently in
co-ordination with the rest, the whole being
under the direction of the Principal. 0
Thus there is a school embracing silver-
smiths' work, jewellery and allied crafts ;
another is concerned with furniture design
and construction, including woodcarving ;
the school of design, textiles and costume
deals with all forms of surface design for
furnishing and dress materials, their uses in
decoration and costume, and the methods
of their production ; the school of painted
and sculptured architectural decoration
