There
is a course in jewelry designing at Cooper Union in New York City under
the direction of Mr. Edward Ehrle. The Cooper Union class meets
tri-weekly, in the evening, for a two hours' session. The work begins
with easy geometrical designs; original work by the pupils is
constantly encouraged. The school year begins the second Monday after
September 15th and ends about May 15th. The full course requires about

prize offered by The Jewellers' Circular-Weekly Was awarded to Mr. Frederick E. Bauer for his excellent work.
