Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1880, Vol. 29 The premises of the school, situated at No. 60, Boulevard de la Villette. Were formerly occupied by a manufacturer of aneroid barometers as a factory. The school-rooms have been added in an adjacent block, and additional workshops are at present being erected. Including the central playground, the premises cover four thousand square yards. As in all the municipal schools of Paris, the education is entirely gratuitous. The pupils have not even to pay for their tools, which remain the property of the school, unless, as frequently happens, the pupil himself buys them on leaving. On the other hand, the apprentices are not paid beyond a trifling gratification of a few pence, be stowed fortnightly and always in proportion to the satisfaction given by the pupil's work and conduct, and of which half is always retained in the savings bank of the school. The trades in which direct instruction is thus given are six in number, viz.: carpenter, wood-turner, pat tern-maker, smith, fitter, and metal-turner. An extensive workshop for locksmiths has been opened during the present year, also a workshop for makers of philosophical instruments, or instrument: dc pr anon.
