Introduction Schoolroom decoration the creation of a beautiful environment which will silently cooperate with the voice of the teacher in the mental, icsthetic and spiritual development of the children is a movement of ever-increasing importance, and one to which Miss Gertrude L.Brinkhaus has given her attention since the beginning of the year one thousand nine hundred five. At the close of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, where Miss Brinkhaus served as assistant director for the Massachusetts Educational Exhibits, she found herself possessed with the idea of helping along schools and teachers toward the attainment of schoolroom decoration by presenting to them the beautiful in sculpture the masterpieces of the world. It was one thing to wish to do and another to hit upon a plan of doing, but suddenly there came to her the thought that newspapers must give collections of sculpture and that the schools to receive the gifts should be decided upon by means of a voting contest. The publisher of the Boston Herald was first approached, and the plan met with his hearty approval and support. An interesting contest was the result. Next, the originator was invited to Washington, D.C, by the Evening Siar and in June of this year closed a period of work, decorating some of the schools of Chicago through the Chicago Record-Heraid. Through the generosity of the Times-Dispatch, the end of this year will see many schools in Richmond, Va., beautified by this same plan, under Miss Brinkhaus spersonal direction. In pursuing her work. Miss Brinkhaus has always used sculpture, not because she does not believe in pictures, but because she believes in teaching the child the beautiful in form. Commenting on the plan, one of the members of the Chicago Board of Education, a lady who had made a special study of art in the best schools of Europe, said: The presence and the study of sculpture in the schools, not only develops the artistic sense of the pupils and refines their ideals and instmcts, but also has a power to impart psychologic insight. When I was in the Paris schools, we were impressed with the fact that the expression of character was the first and most important thing in the study of sculpture. In gazing on the outlines of the sculptured face the young child gradually grows into an understanding of the emotions which are there given form, and thus learns a valuable lesson in the reading of human character. The following is an abstract from a letter received by the Chicago RecordHerald from a well-known person in Chicago.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
