Whatever is beautiful and true, and within the grasp of his own comprehension, instinctively appeals to the little child. His eyes are daily opening upon a world of law and symmetry, and he is a part of it and responds to its unity, even before he is able to formulate the impressions wrought upon his plastic mind. If he misses the best that the world offers during his fairest years, he loses much which should influence his later life. With this in mind we have here presented copies of many famous paintings. The world has looked upon them and pronounced them worthy of praise, and now we bring them before the little child. In selecting these pictures, such have been chosen as are allied to child life and to nature. The child sees himself or his surroundings in the picture, so that it becomes filled with life and love; and his own powers are quickened and expanded. The artist tells a different story to each one who looks upon his painting.
