A recent state examination for on t

Modern industry islextreniely ill-
terested in art. it seeks to obtain
the skilled workman. Education
should,‘teach the public to appreciate

the elementary schools must con-
tribute its‘ foundation in drawing,

is considered as means to on end.
There is purpose in our nature draw .

our illustrative sketches toll of
meaning and purpose. All of these
activities are carried On with the
consciousness on the pupils part of
their“ value and place in the great
world outside tho walls of the
schooiroom.
The scope of drawing-is widened
by its close alliance tothe rest of
the school program. and the illustra-
tion of themes occurring in school
subjects is an important part of an
art course. By taking advantage of
the interest already awakening in
the story. We are able to re-enforco
the particular interest which may
arise in drawing. The foliouing
describes in detail'theworkiug out
of a school theme in a drawing les-
son in a. first grade.
The study of lndian life forms one
of the topics in the first grade. The
story of Hiawatha is the basis of
this work. The story is read to the
children: they‘work out many of its
activities on the sandtabic and by.
dramatizing parts of the story. Each
child makes an “lndinn Back". in
which he keeps his illustrations.
