ABSTRACT
The Chicago Public School Art Society is in the second year of its existence. The first aim of the Chicago Public School Art Society is to assist teachers in their heavy task, and to add a rightful pleasure to the hours children pass in school. Two immediate objects in view in the decoration of school rooms are the directly educational or pedagogic, and educational through the aesthetic. While the members of the Chicago Public School Art Society have no hope that, through means so external, art can be developed in lives cut off from nature and the beautiful, some of us do hope that a slender link may thus be formed between these lives and the beautiful, and that it may lead a few, perhaps many, to try themselves to strengthen it.
