ABSTRACT
For all modern communities the decision as to whether art shall be used in education is of much importance. Great self-control should be exercised in the selection of pictures for schools. Pictures for school should certainly not be selected by incompetent judges. It should be remembered that, though a given picture may do something for a child's mind, a better would do more; and that, though the first object is, indeed, to secure the child's attention and interest; the second is to direct them somewhither for profit. A most important function of pictures is that of arousing in the mind of the child and youth, love and admiration for truly great men and women, and making them real to him.
