In the third class, which contains pupils from thirteen to fifteen years of age, drawing receives considerable extension, especially with regard to its appli- cation to the practice of the trades the pupils intend to follow. With this view, special care is taken to make each pupil execute the designs which are most likely to be useful to him. For teaching descriptive geometry, much use is made of rectangular planes and pins, which render sensible to the eye all the rules of the projec- tions. T...his, in fact, is the mode of teaching which has been pro- posed and employed by M. Olivier, professor at the Conservatory of Arts and Trades. His apparatus consists of two wooden planes DRAWING. 203 articulated with hinges, and covered with cork, in which the pins are stuck to represent the lines of projection. " The choice and number of the subjects treated in the three- years' studies are such that the young men who intend to follow the practical industries of constructing buildings or machines may obtain in the lower practical schools sufficient instruction to become master-builders, capable of understanding the plans to be executed, and of representing their own ideas in drawings.
