British Art Students

The works of the studente in the British national iompetition of schools of art, wbioh have been selected by the exarainers for rewards, are thts year set out in the exhibition road gaüertes, adjacent to the machinery galleries, and oppoelte to the school of science. We are told in the catalogue that the surprising number of 47,978 works of all kinds, from schools of art and branch schools, were sent up for examination, 4,044 being selected out of these for national competition, and the final awards being made by the examiners out of this last selection. It is again in the branches of purely decorative art, pictorial and sculptural, rather tha in painting, sculpture and architecture proper - that is, in the minor rather than the major art- that the siudents show excellence.
