To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Another writer says: "First, as to the aim negatively considered. It should not be to train artists, as we have neither the room, appliances, time, nor the atmosphere for it. Second, we cannot make mechanical draughtsmen for much the same reasons. Third, we cannot make indus- trial designers, such as are demanded by the trades and crafts. Every kind of ornament, such as textile design, color printing, bookbinding, architectural design, ceramics, etc. , etc. , has its own technical problems. I...n fact, every branch of design is really a separate study, which must be carried on together with the practical considerations involved. We, therefore, conclude negatively that special training in any branch of art is not to be expected in our ordinary high schools. " 1 The aim positively considered may be: "(0 The cultivation of the sense of beauty, which is of the highest value to all human beings; (2) the getting and the fixing in mind of clear and distinct visual images of the appearance of at least the common objects; (3) sufficient practical skill in the use of pencil, brush and crayon or charcoal, so as to use draw- ing as a language.
