At the same time, instruction is afforded to all who may desire to pursue these studies without reference to a preparation for any special Branch of Industry. Special Courses are arranged in order to train persons to become Masters of Schools of Art, and to enable Schoolmasters of Parochial and other Schools to teach Elementary Drawing as a part of general Education concurrently with Writing.
