Q. Can one learn to be a first-class up-to-date photographer by working in an ordinary studio?—A. Generally a student will learn more rapidly and acquire greater proficiency by taking a systematic course of training in some school of photography—even a short course.
Q. Is retouching a strain on the eyes?—A. Not if it is properly taught.
Q. Is a previous knowledge of photography necessary for those who would learn photo-engraving?—A. Not at all. All the photographic knowledge pertaining to the work is taught in the regular engraving courses.
Q. Is photo-engraving unhealthful?—A. Not in the least.
Q. Can one by taking employment in an ordinary plant acquire facility in all the up-to-date processes of photo-engraving?—A. A student will learn more in a shorter time by taking a systematic course in the subject.
Q. Do students generally take training in all three of the branches which have been described?—A. Very seldom; usually enrollments are for one of the three—i. e., either photography, photo-engraving, or three-color work.
