Excerpt from School Drawing: A Real Correlation

All over the land drawing schedules read, Use drawing freely in other studies. Every teacher feels that she would gladly do so if some one would only tell her howl To answer this pertinent question is one aim of this book.

In life, real, adult life, people draw for a purpose, rarely for the sake of drawing. Not even the artist draws unless he has something to say and a reason for saying it. Yet in school, much of our drawing has been done in the hopes that later we should be able to draw for a definite end. But this is all changing. We are coming to see that life in school may be made real living, instead of a mere preparation for later life. Children have a right to dislike this unceasing pursuit of knowledge in which they can see no reason. It is the now which interests them. All the constructive work which follows is related immedi ately and intimately with the life in school or at home. The drawings are made for a purpose, as in life. Any one who doubts the wisdom of surrendering older ways has but to try the new, has but to make drawing a thing of use, and then study the attitude of the children toward the subject, to be convinced that it has been our fault, not the children's, if the drawing lesson has been dull in bye gone years.

It is not for a moment contemplated that this work is to disrupt any course of study in drawing. It will fit in with any course or system in the country. It need never even be outlined in the course of study. It should be brought into play freely when needed, and discarded and the regular drawing course taken up again when the problem in hand has been solved.
