There is a general demand for information in regard to the condition of drawing and art in the elementary and secondary schools of this and other countries. In partial response to this demand Mr. Royal Bailey Farnum, specialist in drawing and handwork in the New York State Education Department, has prepared this manuscript showing the status of drawing and art in the schools of the United States. In preparing this monograph the author has tried to present material which will not only be available for future reference, but also for immediate and practical use. Contents of this bulletin are as follows: (1) Historical development; (2) Aims and scope in art teaching; (3) Organization, methods, and outlines; (4) Application and correlation; (5) Picture study and school decoration; (6) Materials and equipment; and (7) Art clubs and associations. An index is provided. (Contains 5 tables and 63 plates.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
