The Schools of Industry and Arts (Real Schulen), are 

 public institutions in which especial attention is paid to 

 instruction in natural sciences and mathematics, and which 

 prepare their pupils for practical life. They treat ancient 

 languages as secondary and give to the natural sciences, 

 geography, chemistry, history, technology, mathematics 

 and modern languages the first rank. They dismiss their 

 pupils to the military, postal, forest and architectural 

 schools and services, and to all professions for which a 

 University education is not required. There are 83 real 

 schools with 1,037 teachers.
