To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The method of teaching carried on in our government .schools offers a marked contrast to that of the French. Examine the drawings that are occasionally exhibited, and it will be found that an immense amount of labor is spent upon fineness of line and mechanical finish. In this respect, I think we are decidedly in error; in fact, we begin at the wrong end. Fineness and neatness of line are the results of much practice, and in early training are of much less importance than the acquisition of cor...rect notions of size, proportions, and forms : to insist too strongly on the former is to jeopardize the realization of the latter. Again : I do not think we have sufficient drawing from nature, from the human figure, or flowers ; and much of the students' time that is spent in making copies from the ' flat ' would be more effectually employed in drawing from objects. Drawing from the ' flat ' is only the beginning of the end : whereas it too generally appears as if copymg was the end itself. Still further, we are entirely without any institutions, that I am aware of, that will compare with the French technical schools, the importance of DRAWING.
