Abstract
This chapter focuses on the subject of drawing in elementary schools. In 1868, the privilege of examination was extended to schools in which the teacher was only partly certificated in drawing. This resulted in a marked increase in the number of children entered for the Science and Art Department's examinations. The Royal Commission on Technical Instruction was always concerned about drawing in schools. T. R. Ablett found that drawing in London schools was far below other subjects, and he did not hesitate to remind the Commission that it was the only subject not in the Education Code, being still in the hands of the Science and Art Department. An annual exhibition was held for the best drawings made in the London schools, and pupil-teachers were taught drawing at the central classes formed for their general education. The art class was under the Science and Art Department. The influence of the art schools on the Elementary Schools varied from place to place.
